13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: Oh, good morning, Welcome in man.

14
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 4: Do we have a tasty slate of games today in

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 4: college football? You know what's crazy is we just heard

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 4: Isaac lohencron Thro his Top of the Hour update and

17
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 4: Apollo's Rich doing radio in the San Diego area. But

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 4: twenty four straight scoreless innings for the Podres, yikes, as

19
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 4: their season comes to an end in a two nothing

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 4: loss in a decisive game five yesterday. That is rough,

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 4: and I just I wanted to mention that as the

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 4: backdrop of college football today is what happened last week,

23
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 4: where you think about how painful it was for Bama

24
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 4: fans to lose to Vandy or Tennessee fans to lose

25
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 4: to Arkansas and all the other upsets. It was upset City, Man,

26
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 4: but twenty four straight scoreless innings, that ranks up there

27
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 4: with any other way to lose Man. That is painful

28
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: city right there.

29
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was just a complete meltdown.

30
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 5: The Padres could not hit the bullpen, and it was

31
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 5: only one game throughout the course of the series against

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 5: the where they were able to, and it was Game two,

33
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 5: and they piled up all those runs, and it was

34
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 5: a lot of fun and there was a lot of

35
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 5: excitement because it really felt like the Padres.

36
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 3: Had an edge.

37
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 5: And then that edge disappeared because after that game, it

38
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 5: really you saw what happened sometimes in college football or

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 5: in any sport, the team with more experience in those

40
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 5: situations overwhelmed the team that didn't. And so you saw

41
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 5: the Padres fold. You saw the Dodgers flourish, and off

42
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 5: to the to face the Mets. They go in the

43
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 5: National League Championship Series.

44
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 6: How much money do you think I could have made

45
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 6: if at the time that the Padres scored six runs

46
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 6: in the second inning?

47
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: Wow?

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 6: Game three, and I would have said, that's it. You

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 6: won't score another run the rest.

50
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: Of the series.

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: That's what happens.

52
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: I'll be honest. I put tweets last night.

53
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 6: Pos's in baseball is really cool because you're on this

54
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 6: high and it's just this explosive you know, swings back

55
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 6: and forth, and then you snap your fingers and it's over.

56
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 6: And baseball is not that kind of sport. You always

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 6: get another day. We'll see you tomorrow, we'll see you tomorrow,

58
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 6: we'll be back tomorrow, and then it's it's over that quickly. Yeah,

59
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 6: I actually thought San Diego was gonna.

60
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: Pull that one out. I really did, but not meant

61
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: to be.

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 4: That's what's insane about baseball, man, is what you guys

63
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 4: both said, where I always say this, every run that

64
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: scored has the potential to be the.

65
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: Last run scored.

66
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 3: Yep.

67
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: And that's really hard to wrap your mind around because

68
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 4: in the moment you're watching a team like the Padres

69
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 4: put up a crooked number and you're like, wow, they're

70
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 4: scoring runs like it's easy right here, and then that's it.

71
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: No more runs. The water is just completely shut off.

72
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 4: Where if you compare that to especially college football, think

73
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: about tonight when it's Ohio State Oregon. If Oregon scores

74
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 4: a first quarter touchdown, you wouldn't say that has the

75
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 4: potential to be the last points they score in this game.

76
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: It's just not how it works.

77
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 4: Yes, but that's baseball, man, that's how it goes in baseball.

78
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 1: Okay.

79
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 4: If we turn our attention to the three ranked versus

80
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 4: ranked games, okay, we've got number two Ohio State against

81
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 4: number three Oregon, Number one Texas against number eighteen Oklahoma.

82
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,720
Speaker 4: By the way, three number eighteen teams in this week's poll,

83
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 4: ridiculous is what we move on?

84
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: Is that true? That is true?

85
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 4: There are three teams that are all eighteen, and there

86
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 4: are three.

87
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: Stupid rankings already.

88
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 4: There are two teams that are number eleven, okay, whatever,

89
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: and then we also have number nine Old Miss at

90
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 4: number thirteen LSU. If you if you ranked the three

91
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: ranked versus ranked games, okay, in terms of your interest level,

92
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: I would assume Ohio State Oregon is at the top

93
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 4: of your list. Where does it go from there? Is

94
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 4: it Ole Miss, LSU and then Texas Oklahoma? How do

95
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: you get down with that, rich.

96
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it goes that way.

97
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 5: I think you have it in that correct order, and

98
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 5: like you said, it's Ohio State Oregon with a bullet.

99
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 5: And here's actually a very different angle to look at

100
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 5: this game that I'm curious how you guys react to.

101
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,799
Speaker 5: My interest in this game is to see what happens

102
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 5: to two teams that have made an insane financial investment

103
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 5: in their roster. These are basically two full on professional

104
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 5: football teams playing against each other. Now, I mean when

105
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 5: we look at name, image and likeness money at schools

106
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 5: like Ohio State and Oregon, where Phil Knight is he

107
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 5: wants a championship back in Eugene before he dies.

108
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 3: He's in his early eighties. That guy has more money

109
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 3: than God.

110
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: So Oregon's gonna get everything they need to win a championship.

111
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 5: Ohio State, we know what the Buckeye alumni and fan

112
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 5: base are like. This is like a heavyweight title fight

113
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 5: in terms of name, image and likeness money. And I

114
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 5: know nobody likes to talk about that, but this is

115
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 5: going to set precedent. This is going to set up

116
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 5: future dollar earnings for college athletes. I mean again, this

117
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 5: is going to be one of those things that still

118
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 5: burns on the back burner for a while, but we're

119
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 5: heading to either an impasse where they change the rules

120
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 5: and the wild West is kind of reeled in, and

121
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 5: we have some rules in place that forbid teams to

122
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,039
Speaker 5: spend during certain windows, or maybe there's some regulation put

123
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 5: on the spending. But this is, I mean, in no

124
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 5: uncertain terms, two professional football teams taking each other on

125
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 5: and the stakes could not be higher considering how much

126
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 5: turnover we've seen in the top five all ready so

127
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 5: far this season.

128
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 6: God just called, he's looking for an nil deal from

129
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 6: Phil Knight. Hasn't be bodies in he could use a

130
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 6: little extra cap, that's right. I mean, Texas and Oklahoma's

131
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 6: got this you know, it's got this vibe about it.

132
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 1: But it's a little different this year. They pushed it back.

133
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 6: Right, it's an SEC game now and there's another number

134
00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,679
Speaker 6: one team. There's no surprise there. In fact, that matchup

135
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 6: actually has the third most matchups when one of the

136
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 6: teams has been number one of any other matchup, Notre Dame, USC, Oklahoma,

137
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 6: Nebraska the other two, So that one's got some prestige

138
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 6: to it. But yeah, it's Ohio State Oregon. I think

139
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 6: that's the one that's going to impact the college. But

140
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 6: we'll play off the most it'll impact. It'll be the

141
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 6: first leg up in what is becoming the Big ten race. Now,

142
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 6: I know the SEC is still the SEC, and there's

143
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 6: some SEC people out there that might be really upset

144
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 6: that I say this, But not a whole lot undefeated

145
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 6: teams left in the SEC Big ten.

146
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, I thought you were done, my bad, But no,

147
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: you're good.

148
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 3: You're good.

149
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

150
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 4: With what Rich was saying, it's pretty interesting because I

151
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 4: can just pick. Let's just say, Jeremiah Smith makes a

152
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 4: huge play in the game tonight, stud wide receiver for

153
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 4: Ohio State. If I'm one of Phil Knight's buddies, I'd

154
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 4: be like, he'd look good in a Duck's uniform, wouldn't

155
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 4: He wouldn't when he looked good in at the Duck's

156
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: uniform right now? Because think about this, you're so right Rich,

157
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 4: where Yeah, there's no speed limit. It's the autobahn right

158
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 4: now in college football, and I just want I'm all

159
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 4: for these kids getting paid. I have no issue with

160
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 4: it whatsoever. But I do wonder in a sport that

161
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 4: doesn't have a speed limit, how high the dollar amounts go? Right,

162
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 4: Because Phil Knight could spend conceivably whatever he wanted to

163
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 4: to get whomever in a Duck's uniform or that goes

164
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 4: for any booster around the country where I just wonder

165
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 4: how high the dollar amounts go.

166
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: There hasn't been anything.

167
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 4: Yet to really make our eyes bug out, you know

168
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 4: what I mean, Like, there isn't a dollar amount where

169
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 4: they're like they're spending thirty five million dollars.

170
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: Per season on this or whatever. You know what I mean.

171
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: It hasn't gotten there.

172
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 4: But it just makes me wonder how far away are

173
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 4: we from that time? And again I'm not discouraging the

174
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 4: young players getting paid. I just wonder how high the

175
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 4: money goes because it's gradually getting higher. And with a

176
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 4: game today like Ohio State Oregon, where imagine again like

177
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 4: Ohio State, there's a kid that makes a huge play

178
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 4: wins the game, you can't help but think of Phil

179
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 4: Knight and these really wealthy boosters. They're gonna be thinking, man,

180
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 4: we should have that guy, and we just lost because

181
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 4: we don't have that guy. We should have that guy. Right,

182
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 4: It's just gonna keep growing that way.

183
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

184
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 5: I've been in the broadcast booth every week of the

185
00:09:55,920 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: college football season, and I wouldn't name the but I

186
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 5: can't tell you how many conversations I've been involved with

187
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 5: with multiple college athletic department personnel from multiple different schools

188
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 5: where the conversation quickly goes toward I mean, we don't

189
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 5: know how to keep everyone happy, and it's impossible. So

190
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 5: there is going to be an insane amount of roster

191
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 5: turnover year after year after year. Because every time a

192
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 5: kid throws a deep pass like you mentioned Jeremiah Smith

193
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 5: tonight potentially and a touchdown is scored on a long reception,

194
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,640
Speaker 5: or anytime a quarterback has a stat line that you

195
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 5: know makes your eyes bug out looking at the paper,

196
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 5: or anytime a running back has a hundred yard game

197
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 5: or an edge rusher gets a two sack game, all

198
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 5: you're hearing is the cash register in the near distance

199
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 5: going kul jing kajing, kajing kajing, Like, how do we

200
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 5: keep this guy on campus? It is It is going

201
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 5: to be a problem for a lot of schools, especially

202
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 5: schools in the smaller conferences, obviously outside of the Big

203
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,439
Speaker 5: four right now, the group of five conferences are really

204
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,839
Speaker 5: going to struggle retaining their rosters, but so will the

205
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 5: FBS TEA or I should say the Big four teams

206
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 5: in terms of the power conferences, because like you mentioned,

207
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:24,559
Speaker 5: if a wealthy enough donor at school A ces School

208
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 5: B's receiver and says, hey, tell me how much I

209
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 5: got to put on the check we want him, then

210
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 5: it's done because there's no rules.

211
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: And we just saw this with Vandy.

212
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:41,320
Speaker 6: Right after the game, Pavia tweeted out as agent's number,

213
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 6: Hey call NIL available, Like it's like an infomercial.

214
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of.

215
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:53,080
Speaker 6: Sick and twisted, but it's also business. And to your point, Brian,

216
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 6: I agree with you. These kids deserve their money, but

217
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 6: we need to do it in an orderly fashion to

218
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 6: where it's not just the ATM get blown up and

219
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 6: kids are in the streets pulling off dollar bills from

220
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 6: the you know, from the corner, like it has to

221
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 6: be organized right now.

222
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 1: It's not.

223
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 6: It's chaos. It's literal chaos. It's a literal money grab.

224
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,959
Speaker 6: I mean literally, and I know literally people don't like

225
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 6: that word. The guy who is the only nil guy

226
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 6: on Vandy basically said, here you go, here's the number.

227
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 6: Call this number, get paid, like right after the game.

228
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 6: That's where it is. It's not celebrate talk to your family,

229
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 6: do all those things.

230
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: It's get your money. And that's what college football is now.

231
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 6: It is professional semi professional football. We need to call

232
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 6: it what it is, and we need to treat it

233
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 6: like it is. And again it's it is what it is.

234
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 6: But this isn't love of the game anymore. It's not

235
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 6: not even at Vandy. So it's it's just a totally

236
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 6: different landscape and we need to start framing our minds

237
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 6: to look at it that way, because it's it's not

238
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 6: what it was a few years ago.

239
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: It is vastly different. No, it's it is it.

240
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 4: It reminds me of as you're explaining that, Jared, like

241
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 4: the radio bits where a listener stands in the little

242
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 4: bin and.

243
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 1: The money's flying around.

244
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: They have the air.

245
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 6: They're trying to grab the phrase that pays winning.

246
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 1: That's the phrase that pays these days. I know that's

247
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 1: what it's turned into.

248
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 4: But hey man, things have changed drastically, and I know

249
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 4: there are a lot of fans that don't like the

250
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 4: new way. I really don't have an issue with it,

251
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 4: but we've talked about it before. It's like you can

252
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 4: be for something without being for every single little morsel

253
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 4: connected to it right like it has the nil day

254
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 4: and Age. I was an advocate for it. I think

255
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 4: it's the better way to do things. It's only fair

256
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 4: that they get a fair share of the pie. They're

257
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 4: even they're not even getting the pie, they're getting their

258
00:13:58,960 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 4: own pie.

259
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's and they.

260
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 4: Generate all this cash, so I don't have an issue

261
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 4: with it. But yeah, it does create some things that

262
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 4: are not ideal and can throw you off in any event.

263

00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 4: we have a couple of teams trying to pick up

290
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 4: the pieces today. Alabama was upset by Vanderbilt last week

291
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 4: and Bama hosts South Carolina today. Tennessee they lost to

292
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 4: Arkansas last week. Tennessee will host Florida today. And you

293
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 4: know what's funny is you always hear this about the

294
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 4: spot the spot. Is this a good spot? This is

295
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 4: a good spot? To back this team. Just think about

296
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 4: that relating to Bama's opponents here the last couple of weeks,

297
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: so you rewind a couple of weeks ago, Obama has

298
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 4: this thrilling shootout win against Georgia, and the very next

299
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 4: week they play Vanderbilt. Great spot for Vandy, you know,

300
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 4: very hard for Bama to get back up and match

301
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 4: that emotional level that they had the week prior. Now,

302
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 4: Alabama loses to Vanderbilt and they face South Carolina today.

303
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 4: Would you rather be Vanderbilt last week after Bama is

304
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 4: writing this high and flat? Or would you rather be

305
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 4: South Carolina with Bama just seething after they lost to.

306
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: The Commodores last week? Vana is a tough spot for

307
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: the game. Cox.

308
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: There's no question how to answer that question.

309
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 5: So I will just laugh along with you and say, goodness, gracious,

310
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 5: good luck game Cox.

311
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 3: That's going to be a tough Yeah, that's gonna be

312
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 3: a tough one.

313
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 5: Look, you know what to comment on what you're bringing

314
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,560
Speaker 5: up the emotion of the game, and I know that

315
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 5: on this show we oftentimes look at it through the

316
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 5: lens of the better and the spot and the potential

317
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 5: to to sort of jump on a storyline because it

318
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 5: could it could give you an edge and all that

319
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 5: is very important. But equally important is understanding the ethos

320
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 5: of these teams as they make their way through the season,

321
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 5: because if you are better, that is how you can

322
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 5: educate yourself to what goes through a player or a

323
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,960
Speaker 5: coach's mind. I think Nick Saban actually perfectly portrayed this.

324
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: He's having a sit down interview.

325
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 5: I believe it was with Pat mccafee McAfee, I mispronounced

326
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 5: his name McAfee. He was sitting down with him and

327
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 5: he was talking about that that great teams, when they

328
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 5: accomplish something great, the hardest work is that next day,

329
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 5: that next week, getting back up to that level, because

330
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 5: sustaining a fever pitch it's not something that anybody can

331
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 5: really do. You cannot redline it all season long. You

332
00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 5: will burn out. And that's what it felt like happened

333
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 5: to that Crimson time tied team against Vanderbilt. I feel

334
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 5: like after the high of that win against Georgia and

335
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 5: especially what happened in the second half, Georgia didn't sneak

336
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 5: back into that game.

337
00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 3: Georgia almost won that game.

338
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 5: You had to make some big plays down the stretch

339
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 5: to keep that game intact. So I mean credit to

340
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 5: Alabama forgetting a win like that, but kaln de Bor

341
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 5: has got to find a way to keep the throttle

342
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 5: appropriately adjusted on his players so that they don't burn

343
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 5: out because those emotional letdowns and you know in Tennessee

344
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 5: obviously the same thing against Razorbacks a week ago. Those

345
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 5: emotional letdowns are real and it is a spot where

346
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 5: betters can pounce. If you look around the scoreboards, if

347
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:05,359
Speaker 5: you pay close attention to a team, there are opportunities there.

348
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 5: But that is the hardest thing to do, is not

349
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 5: only to teach a team how to keep getting better

350
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 5: when they're losing, but to teach a team to keep

351
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 5: getting better when they're winning.

352
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, from a betting perspective, the hardest thing to do

353
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 6: is to sustain prosperity. It's easy to bounce back and

354
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 6: not easy, but we are trained. Our DNA is wired

355
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 6: that way to overcome obstacles, overcome adversity. When you are down,

356
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 6: you bounce back. That's how we are wired as human beings.

357
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: Prosperity is a little bit tougher. You have to maintain.

358
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 6: We live in a level of society where people just

359
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 6: like to kind of get by and they're like.

360
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: Oh, wow, I just had this big win.

361
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 6: Well, I don't have to work as hard the next

362
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 6: week because I just want everything's up.

363
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: It's hard, it's hard to maintain that level of prosperity.

364
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 6: The bigger question is how is Vanderbilt fair week at

365
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 6: Kentucky as a twelve point dog with a total of

366
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:08,400
Speaker 6: forty four? You know, like the market's kind of screaming

367
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 6: at you that, you know, if you follow the wave

368
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 6: of energy, right, Bama riding high against Georgia, flat against Vandy,

369
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 6: Bandy riding high against Bama, going up that top of

370
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 6: the roller coaster, and now we're looking at the pinnacle

371
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 6: in it's Kentucky on the road in what is normally

372
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 6: a very sleepy spot. Yeah, there's there's something about Alabama's

373
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 6: loss that doesn't scare me about them long term, with

374
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 6: the exception of one thing. And we discussed this two

375
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 6: weeks ago, and it was why I bet Georgia.

376
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: In that game against Bama?

377
00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:48,119
Speaker 6: The defense, the Alabama defense had absolutely no answer. And

378
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 6: the question I got asked this week, like why did

379
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 6: Georgia struggle so much against Bama's defense On third downs,

380
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 6: but Vandy didn't well because Georgia was taking Haymaker shots,

381
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 6: deep shots down the field and knew, hey, we can

382
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 6: beat this team intermediate. We don't have to go forty yards,

383
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 6: we can go eight yards. And Bama just didn't adjust.

384
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 6: So you credit Vandy. But man, I got my eye

385
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 6: circled on what they're gonna do at Kentucky today because

386
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 6: that's a really interesting number.

387
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 3: Man.

388
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 4: There was a caller to the Paul Finebaum Show this

389
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 4: week legend.

390
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: Oh that was hilarious.

391
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 6: Oh.

392
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 4: He was talking about Alabama and he compared the head coach,

393
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 4: Kaylin de Boor, losing to Vandy. He compared it to

394
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 4: finding your wife in bed with your neighbor, and he said,

395
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 4: you may forgive her, but you'll never trust her again.

396
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 4: So that's where he's at with Caylen de Borr after

397
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,159
Speaker 4: he lost to Vanderbilt. That is legendary right there at

398
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:48,879
Speaker 4: top shelf. I'll tell you this, it was shocking, not

399
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 4: just with Bama losing to Vanderbilt, but Tennessee's offense. Jared,

400
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 4: you were talking about Alabama's defense and that's like, wow,

401
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 4: look at this, like they're getting lit up by Vandy.

402
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 4: But Tennessee's offense, which is high flying. They can run it,

403
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 4: they can throw it. They just couldn't do anything and

404
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 4: scored fourteen points against Arkansas. And the way it ended

405
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 4: at the end too, with our guy Iamalaiava where it's like, okay,

406
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 4: final seconds, gonna have to heave one into the end

407
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 4: zone or just run out of bounds.

408
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: Okay. Cool.

409
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 4: I guess that was so fitting to the offensive performance

410
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 4: that Tennessee had last week. That was shocking. So I

411
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,200
Speaker 4: really want to see how they looked today. And again,

412
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 4: much tougher spot for Florida after Tennessee looked the way

413
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,200
Speaker 4: they did last week.

414
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: That's a tough spot for the Gators, no doubt.

415
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 5: Yeah, no doubt about it. Back to Bama for just

416
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 5: a second. I want to put a bow on their situation.

417
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 5: Talking from the standpoint of Jeleen Milrowe you know who

418
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 5: when you look at a young quarterback who has I

419
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 5: mean everything in front of him in terms of you know,

420
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 5: a potential Heisman candidacy. You know, there was so much

421
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 5: buzz after that win over Georgia. You look at the

422
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 5: follow up act to a game after Vanny, Now how

423
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 5: he's gonna look because that that pick six in that

424
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 5: game that hurt his team.

425
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,439
Speaker 3: You know, he looked okay.

426
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 5: He threw for over three hundred yards, he leaves the

427
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,960
Speaker 5: nation in passing efficiency. He's thrown for eleven touchdowns so

428
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,640
Speaker 5: far this season. But I'm very curious to see how

429
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 5: he bounces back because you're talking.

430
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: About a Heisman candidate.

431
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 5: You're talking about you know, still a top ten ranked

432
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: team in in the SSE or i should say in

433
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 5: the nation, but out of the sec where you know,

434
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 5: it's a war path to get to the playoff every year.

435
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 3: And you got to remember.

436
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 5: All of these kids, not all of them, but they're

437
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,239
Speaker 5: young men who are doing a lot of things for

438
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,880
Speaker 5: the first time. And you say, well, rich Jalen Milroe

439
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 5: played in the playoffs last year. Yeah, but that was

440
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 5: the first time he had done that as a starting quarterback.

441
00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 5: So when you look at this season, this is the

442
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 5: first season where he's following a playoff season. So how

443
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 5: do you follow success with success? He doesn't know how

444
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 5: to do that yet at the collegiate level, he's learning

445
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 5: on the job, and so I'm very curious to see

446
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,720
Speaker 5: how this all pans out at the quarterback position for

447
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,479
Speaker 5: Alabama because games like today's game, you know, and then

448
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 5: as they continue on with their SEC schedule is going

449
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 5: to tell you a lot about the player and the

450
00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 5: makeup of jaln nol Roe.

451
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, new coach, new system. It's been an interesting.

452
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:35,160
Speaker 6: Offseason for Alabama, replacing a legend in Nick Saban. I mean,

453
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 6: there's just I'm sure he's probably been asked asked more

454
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 6: questions about Nick Saban than maybe Caitlin de Bore, which

455
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 6: you know how often you get asked about the former

456
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 6: head coach more than the current one. Tennessee is interesting.

457
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 6: I mean, we talked about this game last week. We

458
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 6: were waiting for the spot to fade Tennessee. I just

459
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,199
Speaker 6: didn't think it was going to be against Arkansas. And

460
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 6: of course it was against Arkansas because Nico has kind

461
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 6: of been showing us these of course it's always the

462
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 6: week before you you jump in or the week after,

463
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 6: but Nico's been showing us these signs. Right, He's faced

464
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 6: three defenses with a pulse, NC State, Oklahoma, Arkansas. He's

465
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 6: nine of thirty three on passes ten or more yards downfield.

466
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 6: I mean, if you can't complete a deep pass and

467
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 6: the running game is good, but it's not as good

468
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 6: as it's been because their offensive line isn't as good

469
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 6: and they're banged up at wide receiver. It's just Tennessee

470
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 6: is not I don't think their offense is as sexy

471
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 6: as we think it is. I think Nico is starting

472
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 6: to show us signs that he might not be the

473
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 6: above average Heisman winner that we expected him to be.

474
00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: He might just be a good quarterback in the SEC.

475
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 6: And that is gonna be a really interesting question to answer,

476
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 6: I think next week when they play Alabama.

477
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: But if he.

478
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 6: Can't get it done against Florida's defense today, then I'm

479
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 6: really gonna because Florida's defense is a very different animal

480
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 6: than Arkansas. Pittman gets into you, they're much tougher team.

481
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 6: Florida's a little more finesse. So we'll see how he

482
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 6: handles a whole matchup today against the worst defense. If

483
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 6: they struggle again today Tennessee's offense, oh boy, who, then

484
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 6: we might have to raise some redflex.

485
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's you said ten plus yards.

486
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 4: Ten plus yards that's just intermediate, yeah and deep. You

487
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 4: know it goes on from there. But that's like a

488
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 4: twelve yard out. That's a dig route. You know what

489
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 4: I mean like that, that's not that's bad. Nine for

490
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 4: thirty three. That should be way better. You know who's

491
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: way better than bad. That would be our guy, Isaac

492
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 4: Lowenkron far exceeding bad.

493
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 1: He's got the latest. What's going on?

494
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 7: I low Well, thank you so much, Brian, And indeed

496

500
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 7: We need to do a bit great equalization procedure on

501
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 7: Rich Ornberger's com Rex, please have him remove his headphones

502

Speaker 7: for the next thirty seconds, would you mind?

503
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be I'll be gone. Don't worry about me.

511
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 7: and ti Oscar Hernandez to take the series three games

512
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 7: to two. Dodger pitching held the Padres scoreless over the

513
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 7: final twenty four innings of the series, so the Dodgers

514
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 7: now advanced to the National League Championship Series against the

515

Speaker 7: Mets beginning on Sunday night at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles,

516

521
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 9: wrap up. So that's what you missed anyway.

522
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 7: In Major League Baseball, coming up today at one to

Speaker 7: Sun Devil's now five and one. Finally in the NFL.

530
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 7: A short time ago, the Pittsburgh Steelers announced running back

531
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 7: Jalen Warren will play tomorrow at Las Vegas. He'd previously

532
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 7: been questionable due to a knee Andrea Fellas back to you.

533
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: Thank you Ilo.

534
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 4: It is Fox Sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff, presented by

535
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 4: Bett MGM. How about this matchup, Fellas, You got number

536
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 4: eleven Iowa State at West Virginia. Iowa State favored by

537
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 4: three on the road in primetime time here. And this

538
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 4: is the time of the season where the non conference

539
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,120
Speaker 4: games for most teams are behind us. Depending on how

540
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 4: the schedule is structured, you might have one or two

541
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 4: left on the schedule. But for a team like Iowa State,

542
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 4: you know, these Big twelve non conference games are mostly

543
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 4: front loaded.

544
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: So they played North Dakota.

545
00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 4: You know, Iowa Arkansas State, and they had a squeaker

546
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 4: against Iowa. And so the point is, at this stage

547
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 4: of the season, you're kind of wondering how good are they?

548
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 4: How good is Matt Campbell's team?

549
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: And I don't know that.

550
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 4: We got answers last week against Baylor, Like they've played

551
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 4: good defense throughout the entire season, Iowa State has, but man,

552
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 4: bad teams just find ways to be bad, and that's

553
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 4: what you saw from Baylor last week.

554
00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: So if West.

555
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 4: Virginia can avoid just punt being blocked for a touchdown

556
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 4: and just idious defense, left and right, like West Virginia's

557
00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 4: got a shot as a small home today, I'm just

558
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 4: curious to find out again how good Iowa State is.

559
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 4: We might get a little bit of those answers today

560
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 4: on the road against West Virginia.

561
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 5: Less than ten undefeated teams less left in FBS play,

562
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 5: Iowa States one of them, and they're ranked eleventh, so

563
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 5: on the outside of the coveted top ten looking in

564
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 5: on the road against West Virginia. Look, if there's one

565
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 5: thing you could say about the Cyclones year after year,

566
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 5: and maybe this is I'm thinking more recently, but they

567
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 5: always have a top defense in that league. They always

568
00:30:35,200 --> 00:30:38,960
Speaker 5: seem to make it hard on teams, and this year's

569
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 5: no difference. That's what's helped carry them to a five

570
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 5: and zero overall record in a two and zero record

571
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 5: in league.

572
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,440
Speaker 3: Facing West Virginia on the road, tough place.

573
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 5: To play in Morgantown, but the Cyclones are good on

574
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 5: the road.

575
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 3: They've won six straight road games.

576
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 5: So this is one of those the hungry dog runs

577
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 5: faster game like Iowa stay. I feel like is the

578
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 5: hungrier dog here because they've got so much ahead of them.

579
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 5: If if, if they beat West Virginia. They'll be a

580
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 5: top ten team come to come early next week. That's

581
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 5: what's standing in their way. And when you're the opponent

582
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 5: that's standing in the way, sometimes that can give you

583
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 5: an edge. But oftentimes you see a motivated team put

584
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 5: on the steamroller vibes. And that's what I think is

585
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 5: gonna happen today with the Cyclones in Morgantown.

586
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, this isn't I wasn't expecting this game to be interesting.

587
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 6: Like when I looked at the schedule this week and

588
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 6: we see all the and we see all the games

589
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 6: on the schedule this week, and we're like Iowa State

590
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 6: at West Virginia.

591
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 1: Eh.

592
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 6: And then I started looking at a some of the

593
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:49,120
Speaker 6: other breakdowns that I was, you know, analyzing this week,

594
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 6: and I was like, Wow, this game actually has.

595
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: A little juice to it.

596
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 6: So the first thing I learned was that the quarterback

597
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 6: Rockebeck for Iowa State, his dad is Anthony Beck, who

598
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 6: used to play tight end at West Virginia, very you know,

599
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 6: noteworthy tight end, played in the NFL, played for the Jets.

600
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 6: He's getting inducted into the West Virginia Ring of Honor today,

601
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 6: ironically enough, with his son on the other sideline.

602
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: So this game's got a little juice to it.

603
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 6: Night game in Morgantown again, Iowa State trying to go

604
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 6: six and zero for the first time in like almost

605
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 6: one hundred years, and West Virginia losing to Penn State

606
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:22,200
Speaker 6: and Pitt.

607
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, those losses ain't looking so bad.

608
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 6: Pitt is like the best offense that I've ever seen

609
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 6: in Penn State's undefeated and pretty good, so I think.

610
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 6: And in the Big Twelve, guys, we saw Utah last night. Sorry, Utah,

611
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 6: this ain't your year in the Big twelve. Big twelve

612
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 6: is wide open. I mean, anybody can win this thing.

613
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 6: Texas Tech, Colorado, West Virginia.

614
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: It's two and zero.

615
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 6: Iowa State, obviously we mentioned undefeated, So this is a

616
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 6: very important game for college football playoff implications.

617
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 1: The winner of this game could very well be in

618
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: the college football playoff.

619
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 6: West Virginia looked really good last week against Oklahoma State,

620
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 6: gained outgained the.

621
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,719
Speaker 1: Cowboys are three hundred yards.

622
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 6: You know how hard it is to now gain a

623
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 6: team by three hundred yards in a college football game.

624
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: That's really hard to do.

625
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 6: Iowa State has not faced a balanced attack this year,

626
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 6: and I think that's gonna be the question today. West

627
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 6: Virginia can run it, they can pass it. Donaldson and

628
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 6: White I think are one of the better one two punches.

629
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,280
Speaker 6: But for Iowa State, it's all about their balance and

630
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 6: they've got it because they've got Sama and this jitterbug

631
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,840
Speaker 6: Jalen Jackson in the backfield who are very formidable, and

632
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 6: their one two punch at wide receiver also pretty solid.

633
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 6: Higgins and Noel Beck's top thirty QBR. So this game,

634
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:37,240
Speaker 6: I know it doesn't stand out on the schedule, but

635
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 6: this game has got some juice to it and Iowa

636
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 6: States taking a little bit of money off the key

637
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 6: number three. But I'm sitting on the sidelines for this one. Boys,

638
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 6: I'm just watching. Got my popcorn ready, because I think

639
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 6: this one will have big twelve title implication implications down

640
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 6: the road.

641
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 4: I like what you said about I didn't expect this

642
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,520
Speaker 4: game to be interested.

643
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 1: I did not.

644
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 4: It's almost like the girl in grade school that was

645
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 4: just the kind of like there in the background and

646
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 4: you're like, I didn't know you were gonna grow to

647
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 4: be this hot girl. Wow, Holy, that's Iowa State in

648
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 4: West Virginia.

649
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 1: Here, take the glass with the hair down.

650
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 3: That's right.

651
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, wow, I didn't expect that.

652
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 4: By the way, I have an anti utes rant oh

653
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,879
Speaker 4: for the ages a little bit later in the show. Okay,

654

676
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,920

677
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,359

00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 1: this parlay.

682
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 6: And let's start with Nevada against Oregon State. We're on

683
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 6: the road to Reno, the biggest little city in the world.

684
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: People, Nevada is very under the radar this year.

685
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 6: Head coach Jeff Schutz done a really good job getting

686
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:03,520
Speaker 6: this team up to speed quick.

687
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 1: That's the transfer portal, that is the new age of

688
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: college football.

689
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 6: They almost upset SMU in Week zero as a twenty.

690
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: Seven point underdog. Yeah you heard that right. Amos won

691
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: that game outright.

692
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,840
Speaker 6: They did beat Troy outright in week one as a

693
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 6: seven and a half point dog grand at a gas

694
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 6: at Minnesota. Tough data point there. Let in the final

695
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,279
Speaker 6: minute last week at San Jose State gave up a

696
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 6: late touchdown, lost the game, but still covered. I think

697
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 6: Oregon State's in trouble because last week they lost running

698
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 6: back jam Griffin to an injury against Colorado State. Now

699
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 6: the Beaver's won that game in double overtime. Really tough

700
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,280
Speaker 6: bounce back spot here on the road. The Beavers defense

701
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 6: have been inconsistent, Perdue ran it against them, Colorado staying

702
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 6: at over four hundred yards. Nevada quarterback Brendon Lewis is

703
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 6: a mobile quarterback. This is a physical football team. The

704
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,279
Speaker 6: wolfback They are going to win this game at home

705
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 6: against Oregon State.

706
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: Let's go to the Rose Bowl.

707
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 6: You Seela taking on Minnesota. Big ten road teams are

708
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 6: really struggling this year, just one and eight when they

709
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 6: traveled multiple time zones. The only win actually was Indiana

710
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 6: against Ucla a few weeks ago.

711
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,959
Speaker 1: I remember because I was on UCLA in that game.

712
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 6: We're selling high after that big win for the Gophers

713
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 6: last week against usc improbable come from behind victory, and.

714
00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 1: I've been impressed.

715
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 6: Ucla quarterback Justin Martin went on the road to Happy

716
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 6: Valley last week and showed well, their bruins are gonna

717
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 6: take it a step further this week. They covered against

718
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 6: Penn State last week. I think they went out right.

719
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 6: History is gonna be made. Ucla gets their first Big

720
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 6: Ten win today, and we'll finish it up with Colorado.

721
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 6: The late night game taken on Kansas State. The Wildcats.

722
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:37,920
Speaker 1: They don't like to go far from home.

723
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:40,799
Speaker 6: Case States lost five straight against the spread as a

724
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 6: road favorite.

725
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 1: Colorado was more balanced this year. They actually have a

726
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: higher success rate running it than they do throwing it.

727
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 6: But Kansas State can't stop the pass, really bad at

728
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:51,719
Speaker 6: defending the deep ball.

729
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: That's what Colorado does well.

730
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 6: So we got Nevada, Ucla, Colorado, all slight underdogs on

731
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 6: the money line. The payoff out fourteen to one over

732
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,280
Speaker 6: at that MGM.

733
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,400
Speaker 4: That's about what I felt sixteen to one today for

734
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 4: some reason right around there.

735
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, which one's going to ruin it towards?

736
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 3: I like the Big ten road team analysis.

737
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 5: That one feels right because what you said is absolutely true,

738
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 5: and all of a sudden, it brings back that game

739
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 5: we were talking about earlier in the show. Back into focus,

740
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 5: Ohio State traveling out to Eugene.

741
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 3: What's gonna happen there? You know, it's it's a thing.

742
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 5: I look a lot of these Big ten schools, especially

743
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 5: the traditional powers the ones who are nestled in the

744
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 5: northeast or the midwest of our country, making these west

745
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 5: coast trips not so easy.

746
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 4: You know what's interesting to me is and listen, Jared

747
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 4: Colorado is fully capable of beating Kansas State. But the

748
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 4: thing I think about is the win that impressed us

749
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 4: a week later could look a lot different. You know, like,

750
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,360
Speaker 4: the last time we saw him, Colorado is beating UCF

751
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 4: as a big underdog and we're like, whoa, wow, look

752
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 4: big win. Colorado looked really good. And then you look

753
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 4: at UCF and they're getting kicked in the teeth last

754
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 4: week by Florida, and you're like, I.

755
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,399
Speaker 1: Don't know how good that win was? That right?

756
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 4: So that's how I think about Colorado in a like

757
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 4: a very basic way, is I wonder how good that

758
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 4: win really was against UCF.

759
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 6: I think that was a really big because we talked

760
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 6: about that game for Florida last week because they were

761
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 6: in the parlay.

762
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: It was one. It was we went two and two

763
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 1: out of three again last.

764
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 6: Week, but Florida needed that game, like blood and UCF,

765
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 6: you know, yes, they needed it too, but Florida needed

766
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 6: it more. I think, guys, I think Colorado might be

767
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 6: slightly better than people think. And you know why we

768
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,480
Speaker 6: haven't heard a word at all from beyond this week? Right,

769
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:58,360
Speaker 6: It's been really quiet this week, right, rich eerily quiet.

770
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,480
Speaker 6: And this is the week after you win outright as

771
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 6: a two touchdown dog, and we haven't.

772
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: Heard of wordy. Silence is golden sometimes, right. I do

773
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: love the direct TV commercial where the pigeon's like coach pride.

774
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: That gets me every time. Come it up next?

775
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 4: Can it seem this offensively challenged pull off a monster upset?

776
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:20,399
Speaker 6: Ah?

777
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 4: Yes, good morning, welcome in here, monstrous day of college football?

778
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 4: Getting you all set for that? We look at the

779
00:40:30,239 --> 00:40:35,479
Speaker 4: Red River rivalry. You know it's a matter of time

780
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 4: until it's wyval we you know, get that one out.

781
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna hear wival we by somebody today. It's gonna happen.

782
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 4: But we get Quinn yours back for Texas. He's back, baby,

783
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 4: after missing two games with that oblique injury. And the

784
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 4: deal for Oklahoma. Here, let me just be broad for

785
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,840
Speaker 4: a second, because I do this exercise with every game

786
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 4: where it's basically just open your mind and your heart.

787
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: Oh, I like this underdog, you know what I mean?

788
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 4: Like open your heart to the underdog, maybe covering at least,

789
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 4: maybe not winning outright. But Oklahoma, they're getting a bunch

790
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 4: of points over two touchdowns.

791
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: But this offense, man, I mean.

792
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 4: They put in Michael Hawkins Junior, but the offense is

793
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:26,240
Speaker 4: still a wreck. The offensive line is bad. Their wide

794
00:41:26,280 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 4: receivers are the walking wounded. They have lost dude after

795
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 4: dude after dude, and you have to ask yourself, how

796
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,000
Speaker 4: is Oklahoma going to generate enough points? Their defense is real.

797
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 4: I love Oklahoma's defense, but I just don't know how

798
00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 4: they score enough to keep this a competitive ballgame. It's

799
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 4: again the Red River rivalry. So crazier things have happened.

800
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,640
Speaker 4: But they're gonna have to get some takeaways. They're gonna

801
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 4: have to be some fluky stuff because I just don't

802
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 4: see how Oklahoma's offense matches points in this one.

803
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,839
Speaker 5: Oklahoma starting the true freshman at quarterback, right, Yep, They're

804
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 5: gonna put in Michael Hawkins Junior after that fourth quarter comeback. Look,

805
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 5: here's here's here's the thing about young players. Sometimes you

806
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 5: don't know what you don't know, and that helps you.

807
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 3: You know.

808
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:22,560
Speaker 5: Sometimes you don't realize how big things are until afterward,

809
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 5: you know. And I remember going through this a couple

810
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 5: of times throughout my career as both a college football

811
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 5: player and a pro there were certain things that I

812
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 5: did or accomplished or my team accomplished where it wasn't

813
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 5: until after my career was over and I had the

814
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 5: opportunity to reflect on things.

815
00:42:40,320 --> 00:42:42,800
Speaker 3: Where I was like, oh wow, that was that was

816
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:43,439
Speaker 3: pretty cool.

817
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 5: That was a pretty big moment, and I didn't understand

818
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 5: the gravity at the time. So sometimes having an injection

819
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 5: of youth and that almost like fresh set of eyes

820
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 5: where you know, he's never been involved in this rivalry before,

821
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,760
Speaker 5: he hasn't played college football before this season.

822
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 3: He doesn't know what he doesn't know, and so if

823
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 3: he goes.

824
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 5: Out there and plays with that, you know, blissful ignorance.

825
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 5: I'm not saying I'm not calling for an upset here,

826
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 5: but I'm just saying that this could be a more

827
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:22,400
Speaker 5: fun game in theory and concept. Then maybe we with

828
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 5: all of the jadedness that we have for watching football

829
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 5: over the many years that we have, and my self

830
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,600
Speaker 5: participating in football and seeing what inexperience can do, especially

831
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 5: at the most important position on the field, I'm curious

832
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:42,960
Speaker 5: I'm leaning into this one because sometimes magical things happens

833
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 5: happen when you put a less experienced player on the

834
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:47,080
Speaker 5: field in an important spot.

835
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's almost like he doesn't know how big of

836
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,640
Speaker 6: the moment is. This is the first time Texas is

837
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 6: a double digit dog in this rivalry since five, which

838
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 6: is when they won the title with Vincian, So that

839
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 6: kind of puts it in perspective just how much the

840
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 6: market perspect is for Texas in this spot the Keys obviously,

841
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 6: can Oklahoma's defense hold up? And can Oklahoma's offense generate

842
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 6: any kind of spark? Let's start with their defense. I

843
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:20,279
Speaker 6: think their defense might be slightly overrated. Auburn moved it

844
00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 6: on them. Peyton Thorn threw for over three hundred yards.

845
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:24,320
Speaker 1: That's not good.

846
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 6: And the vibe for me going into the season with

847
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 6: Oklahoma is elite defensive mind with the coach. But can

848
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 6: they hold up in the SEC with an undersized defensive front.

849
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,920
Speaker 6: I don't know the answer to the second question, and

850
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 6: we're gonna find out a lot more about that second

851
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 6: question today. What Texas's offense does well is they stretch you.

852
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 6: It's like that torture chamber. The medieval torture device. They

853
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:54,240
Speaker 6: stretch the field thirty six plays of twenty plus yards

854
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 6: top ten and explosive play rate bond Wingo Golden. I mean,

855
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 6: these are studs on the outside that will make you

856
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 6: sweat and they will stretch the field. Now, yours actually

857
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 6: is the question mark here, Like, I am full faith

858
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:13,239
Speaker 6: in Texas's offense. Skill, guys, youers off the injury. Arch

859
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 6: Manning was pretty good. I'm not saying he would have

860
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 6: been good in this game because this is a different animal.

861
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,560
Speaker 6: Youwers has the experience where Manning doesn't. But arch Manning

862
00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 6: looked pretty good. Now Oklahoma's offense, Let's go to the

863
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 6: other side, because if they can figure out some kind

864
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 6: of way to sustain drives, I think that's where they

865
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 6: that's the path to victory here. But Brian mentioned it.

866
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 6: Deon Burk's their best receiver out. Not sure how they

867
00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 6: move it consistently without him and allowing Texas just to

868
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,000
Speaker 6: focus in on the run. The old line has issues.

869
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 6: They might have found a bit of a spark with

870
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,399
Speaker 6: this quarterback, but he's a freshman playing in his first

871
00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:50,359
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna say, red River, I'm not even gonna

872
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:51,920
Speaker 6: go to the next you get with it, I'll.

873
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: Go red river like, this is a This is a Texas.

874
00:45:55,080 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 6: Defense that I think can can stand up here because

875
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 6: Oklahoma's offense, I mean, you got some really phony results

876
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 6: here minus five and that success right against Houston, they

877
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:08,560
Speaker 6: got bodied by Tennessee, didn't run it well against Dulane. Like,

878
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 6: it's fair to question who Texas has played right their

879
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 6: best offense, face is Michigan.

880
00:46:13,400 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: Who's Michigan's offense.

881
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 6: But I think Oklahoma's really at a disadvantage. They're gonna

882
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 6: need Hawkins to play out of his mind today if

883
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 6: they want to compete in this game.

884
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:27,760
Speaker 4: And that's the thing too, is we always talk about

885
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 4: how a quarterback can compensate for some deficiencies, and Oklahoma's

886
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:36,879
Speaker 4: offense clearly has them. But it works the other way too.

887
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 4: With a quarterback this young in Michael Hawkins Junior, the

888
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 4: supporting cast has to take some of the stress off

889
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 4: of him as well, and I just don't see how

890
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 4: that's gonna happen in this matchup. You're gonna have to

891
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 4: have many Oklahoma offensive players play above their heads in

892
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:56,800
Speaker 4: this one.

893
00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 1: That's just the bottom line.

894
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:04,480
Speaker 4: And listen, you come from the do your job, Patriots

895
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 4: whole approach to this, and this is a recipe for

896
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 4: Oklahoma for a lot of individual players offensively trying to

897
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,560
Speaker 4: do more than they should be doing. You know what

898
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,880
Speaker 4: I mean, When you're trying to do your job and

899
00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 4: maybe this other guy's job because he's the backup and

900
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,799
Speaker 4: he's the fill in guy and he's not doing that

901
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,240
Speaker 4: great right now. Now you're trying to do two jobs

902
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:30,279
Speaker 4: at the same time. That's where it can get all

903
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 4: out of whack. So I'm saying two things that absolutely

904
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 4: directly clash with each other, which is you're gonna have

905
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 4: to have some dudes play above their heads. And that's

906
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 4: a bad recipe because when you try to do more

907
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 4: than you're actually obligated to do, things can get completely

908
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 4: off track real quickly.

909
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 3: Real quickly. And and you're absolutely right.

910
00:47:55,640 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 5: There are times in my own career and playing alongside

911
00:47:59,680 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 5: team where it's very clear that too much is being

912
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 5: tried to happen, and sometimes coaches get caught up in

913
00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 5: that too. All of a sudden, you have a little

914
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:10,799
Speaker 5: extra time to prepare for a team or it's a

915
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 5: really big rivalry, and you try to jam all these

916
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:19,440
Speaker 5: tricky new personnel groupings or gimmicks in the playbook that

917
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 5: you haven't practiced all that much much. You're trying to

918
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 5: catch a team sleep in, and then you don't execute

919
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:29,560
Speaker 5: as a result because you're trying to outfox the opponent

920
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:33,359
Speaker 5: and you outfox yourselves. So you got to get out

921
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 5: of the mindset of you have to be anything other

922
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 5: than who you are when you're playing, because if who

923
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,720
Speaker 5: you are isn't good enough, well you'll find that out.

924
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 5: You'll test your will against another team. But if you

925
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 5: play your game and you force an opponent to make

926
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 5: a mistake, it's the best way to play. Now, this

927
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,879
Speaker 5: is a really good opponent and it matches up well

928
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 5: against Oklahoma. Texas's passing defense was a huge concern last year.

929
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:00,240
Speaker 5: This year it's completely different. They're one of the best

930
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 5: pass coverage groups in the nation and Oklahoma is really

931
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 5: bad at throwing the ball down the field. They've only

932
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 5: completely get this. He passes beyond ten yards this season.

933
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 5: That is fifth to the bottom in all of the FBS,

934
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 5: so they've been on the struggle bus.

935
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,239
Speaker 3: It's a hard matchup.

936
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 5: So I mean literally, I was focusing on the only

937
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 5: point that I think you can really focus on is

938
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,480
Speaker 5: sometimes what you don't know is what you don't know.

939
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,200
Speaker 5: And if this true freshman can spark his team, maybe

940
00:49:33,200 --> 00:49:36,200
Speaker 5: we could see something special, a turnover here or there.

941
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,800
Speaker 5: You know, those things can turn a game around. But

942
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 5: it does feel like a little bit of a march

943
00:49:41,600 --> 00:49:45,680
Speaker 5: toward inevitability here in this rivalry today.

944
00:49:45,960 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, the variance of the price, Like, if we want

945
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 6: to try to wrap our heads around why is Oklahoma

946
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 6: misspriced in this game, It's because the market doesn't know

947
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 6: what Michael Hawkins.

948
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,280
Speaker 1: Is yet, and that is the variance.

949
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 6: I think there's variance with quinn Ewers too, Like we

950
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 6: haven't seen him in a month. He was playing at

951
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 6: Heisman level when he got hurt. Is he still going

952
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 6: to be playing at a Heisman level today? This game

953
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 6: just has a weird way of being close. Though one

954
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 6: score game nine times since twenty thirteen. This game has

955
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 6: a weird way of being close. You know what else

956
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 6: makes it really unique from a handicapping perspective, Perhaps two

957
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 6: of the best minds in the country on opposite side

958
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:34,240
Speaker 6: sark offense venables defense. It just makes the chess match

959
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 6: so fascinating. But there's this game again. It's a weird,

960
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 6: funky game. Usually it's played at eleven AM Central in

961
00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 6: Dallas to push back this year, so a little bit

962
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:52,080
Speaker 6: more build up to the climax. Usually it's a close game.

963
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,799
Speaker 6: Oklahoma's won four out of five, but Texas actually has

964
00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,359
Speaker 6: the scoring margin because they beat him forty nine nothing

965
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 6: two years ago. So it's just like, are we gonna

966
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:05,760
Speaker 6: see that explosion today from Texas? Texas has the ability

967
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 6: to win this game forty nine nothing? They absolutely do.

968
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 6: Are they going to? Probably not, but.

969
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: They absolutely have the ability to win it by that margin.

970
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 6: The two things, and it's not rocket science quarterbacks yours?

971
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: Is he healthy? Does he look good?

972
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 6: And can Michael Hawkins Junior play above the back of

973
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,959
Speaker 6: his baseball card which says you're a true freshman playing

974
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,919
Speaker 6: in your first Red River game, get on the bench, kid.

975
00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,400
Speaker 6: Can can he bring it and give you that element

976
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:32,320
Speaker 6: that Oklahoma's been missing.

977
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:33,200
Speaker 1: On offense all season?

978
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:34,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

979
00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 1: That's the thing too.

980
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:39,400
Speaker 4: I started this trying to open my heart to the

981
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:40,879
Speaker 4: Sooners and the other dogs year.

982
00:51:41,000 --> 00:51:42,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's closed.

983
00:51:42,760 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 4: It's really tough to do so because one last thing

984
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 4: I'll add is when we start looking at these games

985
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 4: and we're trying to pick the right side and all

986
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,120
Speaker 4: of that, I think you get further and further and

987
00:51:54,160 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 4: further away from your mentality if you were playing in

988
00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 4: this game. Right, So consider this with Quinn Youewers, Texas quarterback.

989
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:05,160
Speaker 4: So he's missed the last two games, he's itching you

990
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:08,719
Speaker 4: get back on the field. And last year against Oklahoma,

991
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 4: Texas lost and Quinn Youwers was sacked five times and

992
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 4: you know he threw two interceptions. So Quinn Youewers is

993
00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 4: absolutely dialed in to this. What could there be a

994
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 4: little bit of rust because he hasn't been on the

995
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 4: field for a couple of weeks. Sure, but I think

996
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 4: that's something important to consider, is if you were Quinn Youwers,

997
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 4: think about your level of focus in this game when

998
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 4: you didn't play well last year against the same opponent

999
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 4: in a loss. Right, that's something else to consider when

1000
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 4: you're thinking about, Man, Texas, I gotta lay sixteen and

1001
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 4: a half in a rivalry game.

1002
00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,800
Speaker 6: And that's a lot of fourteen yesterday, a lot of

1003
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 6: Texas money last twenty four hours.

1004
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: I know.

1005
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 4: But just when you start thinking that's a lot of points,

1006
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 4: is think about if you're in Quinn yours shoes and

1007
00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 4: you didn't play well in a loss last season, And

1008
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 4: think about what Michael Hawkins Junior is facing with the

1009
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,800
Speaker 4: lack of a supporting cast around him, that all of

1010
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 4: a sudden sixteen and a half doesn't seem as gigantic

1011
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:16,920
Speaker 4: as it might initially seem.

1012
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:20,560
Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna read this quick stat to you, guys,

1013
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 5: and you do with it what you want. Oklahoma ranks

1014
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:27,560
Speaker 5: inside the bottom twenty in Power five passing grade, pass

1015
00:53:27,640 --> 00:53:29,800
Speaker 5: blocking grade, and receiving grade.

1016
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: Good lord.

1017
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 3: Only six teams.

1018
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 5: In the Power Five are throwing for fewer yards per

1019
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 5: game than Oklahoma. When you can't throw the ball in

1020
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 5: today's college football, you cannot win. And when you can't

1021
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:45,799
Speaker 5: win and you're playing against a good defense and an

1022
00:53:45,840 --> 00:53:48,799
Speaker 5: offense that is capable of piling up points, you can

1023
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:54,080
Speaker 5: get blown out. So again, it's rivalry game. That's a

1024
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:57,719
Speaker 5: lot of points to cover up. But if there is

1025
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 5: a lean, it's decidedly a Texas Lean.

1026
00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 3: Billy talking through it with you, guys.

1027
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, And that's the beauty of doing these shows is

1028
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 6: I might come into games very undecided, and then we

1029
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:10,760
Speaker 6: kind of kick it around the horn a couple times,

1030
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 6: and I'm like, yeah, you know, I don't really know

1031
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:17,400
Speaker 6: what the path is for Oklahoma here, but all right,

1032
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,759
Speaker 6: Sooner fans, if you're listening out there, here's the bright side.

1033
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:26,240
Speaker 1: Texas led at home in the third quarter fourteen to six.

1034
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 6: To Mississippi State. Go watch a quarter of any Mississippi

1035
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 6: State game this year. Yeah, Brian said it right. Wolf

1036
00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 6: is the word I would use. They haven't faced an

1037
00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 6: offense this year inside the top seventy in total yards.

1038
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:43,799
Speaker 6: So again, these games have a weird way of being funky. Right,

1039
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,120
Speaker 6: one score game nine times.

1040
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:46,800
Speaker 1: In the last decade.

1041
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 6: But what's the path like, I'm trying to envision the

1042
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 6: path for Oklahoma. It's gotta be Hawkins making plays with

1043
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,839
Speaker 6: his legs, and I think rich you said it. Turnovers right,

1044
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 6: not the Apple variety will save those for Thanksgiving. Figure

1045
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 6: out a way to make quinn Ewers, get them off

1046
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 6: the spot, make a mistake and get the ball back

1047
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 6: into Hawkins's hands and hot take a lead. First of all,

1048
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,799
Speaker 6: don't put them in a negative game script. But it's

1049
00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:17,319
Speaker 6: got to be a perfect It's got to be like

1050
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 6: the perfect game. You gotta go out there like Drek's

1051
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 6: schubel Man. You got to bring the gas.

1052
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 1: I prefer cherry turnovers myself. I don't I've ever had

1053
00:55:29,080 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: a cherry turnover. I don't even know they made them.

1054
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 4: Well side ran here, Okay, shout out to my mother,

1055
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:39,440
Speaker 4: Mama derist over here right, because she used to make

1056
00:55:39,480 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 4: tremendous cherry turnover. These these bums got rid of them.

1057
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:47,399
Speaker 4: And so it's not quite like the old school cherry turnovers.

1058
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 4: There's sort of new school and they're still very good,

1059
00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,200
Speaker 4: but not quite like the old school. They're a little

1060
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 4: bit more like croissants sort of, and they still have

1061
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 4: the filling a good still good, still good, not as good,

1062
00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:02,960
Speaker 4: but still good. We've got Rich Ornberger, Penn State All American.

1091
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: Okay seamous.

1092
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 4: So we got a tasty menu today, three ranked versus

1093
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:43,160
Speaker 4: ranked games. Between those three games, which game has caught

1094
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 4: your attention the most from a betting perspective.

1095
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,800
Speaker 8: Hey, guys could be back here. I mean it's it

1096
00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 8: is a really good slate. I think it's got to

1097
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:57,480
Speaker 8: be the ohighest state Oregon games. It's just the playoff implications,

1098
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,040
Speaker 8: the big ten implications that could have in the and

1099
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 8: what we're seeing on this from Venic perspective is huge,

1100
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 8: definitely going to be. It looks like our most back

1101
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,480
Speaker 8: game of the day right now. Yeah, we're taking some

1102
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 8: Oregon money in the last twenty four hours to kind

1103
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 8: of offset a bit of how much of a need

1104
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 8: they were coming into today. But it's a lot of

1105
00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 8: money line plays on Ohio State as well. I think

1106
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 8: Oregon winning this game out right would be best for

1107
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 8: the book here.

1108
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 6: And it's funny because Shamus, early in the week I

1109
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 6: saw a lot of sharp people on Oregon A plus

1110
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 6: four plus four and a half, and now that that

1111
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,040
Speaker 6: line is kind of sitting at three, you're right, I

1112
00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 6: would not be shocked if we see a big and

1113
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:38,240
Speaker 6: I heard a little rumble that one Organ's best pass

1114
00:58:38,320 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 6: rushers might have got hurt in practice this week. We'll

1115
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:41,360
Speaker 6: get to that a little later in the show when

1116
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 6: we preview that game. Let me guess you also need

1117
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:48,920
Speaker 6: South Carolina today against Alabama.

1118
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 8: Very much so. It's it's probably one of our biggest

1119
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 8: needs I think of the day specifically at plus twenty

1120
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 8: one and a half, we're up to plus. We're uped

1121
00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 8: at twenty two and a half.

1122
00:59:02,400 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 3: Now.

1123
00:59:02,680 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 8: I can't imagine we'll still attract much South Carolina money

1124
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 8: even being you know, twenty one, you know, a point

1125
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 8: and a half of the hook you asked me about, Like, good,

1126
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 8: what's the parlay we need to, you know, save my

1127
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:18,919
Speaker 8: job here at Memka. I think it's South Carolina plus

1128
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 8: twenty one and a half and the and the Kansas

1129
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 8: State money line probably a connect.

1130
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 3: Interesting.

1131
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,240
Speaker 5: Hey, so Jared brought up a stat that Big Ten

1132
00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 5: teams during these road trips cross country have struggled. Penn

1133
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 5: State going to the coliseum to face the Trojans, a

1134
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:41,080
Speaker 5: pretty heavily bet ticket is Penn State minus three and

1135
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,520
Speaker 5: a half. How do you feel about the Nitney Lions

1136
00:59:43,520 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 5: on the road.

1137
00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 8: It's definitely pros Verst shows out in California today, a

1138
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 8: lot of public play on Penn State this week, and

1139
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 8: the sharps are definitely on USC. This at touched five

1140
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 8: and a half earlier in the week, and sharp money

1141
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 8: brought this down to three and a half. So right

1142
01:00:01,680 --> 01:00:04,959
Speaker 8: now we're gonna need USC, but definitely lots of sharp

1143
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:06,560
Speaker 8: money on USC.

1144
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 4: You know, seame as you mentioned Colorado being a popular

1145
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,280
Speaker 4: play if you look at the top ten teams, not

1146
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 4: necessarily just this week, but in general, is there a

1147
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 4: top ten team that's the least popular team in terms

1148
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 4: of handle and support?

1149
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 8: Oh, I mean it is kind of tough. Kansas State

1150
01:00:29,040 --> 01:00:32,160
Speaker 8: probably won for a while, like Utah wouldn't get much action.

1151
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 8: It depends. It's like Clemson's and there comeson depends on

1152
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 8: who they're playing on the week, Like this comes in

1153
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 8: weight game isn't attracting like a ton of betters. But

1154
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,600
Speaker 8: I'd say Kansas State has to be one team to

1155
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:48,000
Speaker 8: throw in there. And then yeah, I'd probably say Utah

1156
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 8: lost again last night, but they were certainly one team

1157
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 8: that was like that.

1158
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, Cameron Rising looks like a quarterback that hasn't played

1159
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 6: in two years. I think we know we all need

1160
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 6: to just you know, pump the Brakes on moving the

1161
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,360
Speaker 6: number down. If Cam and Rising's not playing, that's it's

1162
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,440
Speaker 6: just I mean, he looked awful last night. I'll give

1163
01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 6: you a top twenty team that you probably aren't getting

1164
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 6: a lot of low for today, and that's the team

1165
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 6: we just talked about a couple of segments ago. The

1166
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 6: Oklahoma Sooners massive dog today against Texas. We know it's

1167
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,320
Speaker 6: a neutral site, but man, I could see that one

1168
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 6: getting out of hand quickly if that Oklahoma offense does

1169
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:19,160
Speaker 6: not come to play.

1170
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's one way traffic on the Longhorns right now.

1171
01:01:23,280 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 8: We're starting to see some tuner money come in on

1172
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 8: fourteen and a half. There's a decent amount of people

1173
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 8: buying a point down at thirteen and a half on Texas.

1174
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 8: But we're definitely going to need Oklahoma today to cover

1175
01:01:35,040 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 8: two touchdowns, Seamus.

1176
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 5: With this Ohio State Oregon game, obviously all of our

1177
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 5: attentions are going to be on that, but also on

1178
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 5: the scoreboard, it feels like an overspot ares did the number.

1179
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 3: Get two overinflated though? This week?

1180
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:57,000
Speaker 8: Well, yeah, that's an interesting one. It seems like in

1181
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:59,480
Speaker 8: these big games, you know, the defense locks up a

1182
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 8: little bit, but it's definitely been a favorite for the

1183
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 8: Sharp this week. We opened this at fifteen and a

1184
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 8: half and we're currently up to fifty four and a

1185
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 8: half with money still coming in on the over, so

1186
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 8: we're gonna need the under. Fifty two and a half

1187
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 8: I think would be probably best for us right here.

1188
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 4: You know, Seamus, We're always trying to get rich over here,

1189
01:02:19,560 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 4: and I'm curious with today's slate being as great as

1190
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 4: it is, the shame is special. Are you going big

1191
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 4: game hunting or giving us like Incarnate word or some

1192
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 4: FCS play over here.

1193
01:02:32,680 --> 01:02:35,240
Speaker 8: I'm gonna I'm gonna meet you somewhere in the middle. Here.

1194
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 8: We have the wrong team favorite in Eastern Michigan. Miami Ohio. Guys,

1195
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:44,320
Speaker 8: Eastern Michigan. I think it's gonna be came out right

1196
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 8: Miami Ohio. There's a lot of hype for this team

1197
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 8: coming into the season for the MAC, but I just

1198
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 8: haven't seen it yet. I think Eastern Michigan might be

1199
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 8: a little underrated. So I think I'm taking to the

1200
01:02:54,480 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 8: Eastern Michigan money line today.

1201
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,080
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, very.

1202

1215
01:03:27,480 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 5: far that is from Laramie. Laramie is where the game

1216
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 5: that I'm calling is being played, and so I don't

Speaker 1: But have a good game.

1225
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:57,280

1226
01:03:57,280 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 4: but I'm thinking about laying the one and going with

01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:50,439
Speaker 4: of the games that you've got circled here, Jared, We've

1287
01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:54,880
Speaker 4: got number eighteen Kansas State at Colorado. Both teams are

1288
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 4: four and one, and hey man, Kansas State last week

1289
01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 4: just opened up a can against Oklahoma State. The Cowboys

1290
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 4: have had their struggles, but that was an impressive performance

1291
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 4: by k State Avery Johnson. He's a great blend of

1292
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:17,800
Speaker 4: passing and running ability. And against Colorado's defense, which was

1293
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 4: surprisingly really good against UCF that has this great rushing attack.

1294
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:28,760
Speaker 4: I want to see if Colorado can double down, right,

1295
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 4: can they slow down Kansas State's rushing attack When a

1296
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 4: quarterback again is a big part of the rushing formula, That's.

1297
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 1: Gonna be a tough task for the Buffs here today.

1298
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: It really is.

1299
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,160
Speaker 6: And I had this game pulled up on the Advanced

1300
01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:46,760
Speaker 6: Metrics this week, and I was a little surprised at

1301
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 6: how good Colorado was in some of the trench warfare

1302
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 6: that we don't typically associate them with. Now we know

1303
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 6: Kansas State's a tough football team. They're good on defense,

1304
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 6: they could run the ball, they're not as good passing it.

1305
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 6: But Avery Johnson has this ability to kind of create

1306
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 6: and that's where their passing game becomes more dangerous. He's

1307
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 6: outside the pocket, he you know, breaks contained. But Colorado,

1308
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 6: surprisingly and again maybe we were wrong about how good

1309
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,200
Speaker 6: Colorado is in the trenches because coming into the season

1310
01:08:17,520 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 6: I felt the same way about Colorado as I did

1311
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:23,400
Speaker 6: last year. They're a finesse offense. Should Or Sanders the

1312
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 6: weapons on the outside, but can they win a tough,

1313
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:29,439
Speaker 6: gritty football game. I'm changing my opinion a little bit

1314
01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 6: because they actually have a higher success rate running it

1315
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 6: this year than throwing it, significantly higher. So it's kind

1316
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:40,120
Speaker 6: of a throwback Colorado team, as weird as that sounds.

1317
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 1: Oh, by the way, they still have.

1318
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 6: Should Or Sanders, and they still have Travis Hunter, and

1319
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 6: they still have Jimmy Horn. They have all these other

1320
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 6: great weapons on the outside The question is can Colorado

1321
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,880
Speaker 6: bow their necks against the run. They have yet to

1322
01:08:53,960 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 6: allow a hundred yard rusher or receiver this year. How

1323
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:02,440
Speaker 6: about that Colorado's defense They allowed that eleven out of twelve.

1324
01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: Games last year.

1325
01:09:03,400 --> 01:09:08,560
Speaker 6: So maybe when we adjust our ratings, maybe we're a

1326
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 6: little bit slow to adjust on Colorado's defense because of

1327
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:16,839
Speaker 6: just our perception and our bias. But maybe coach Primes

1328
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,799
Speaker 6: got this defense playing a little tougher than we expect.

1329
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:25,120
Speaker 6: Kansas State's defense gave up over three hundred and sixty

1330
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 6: yards to Alan Bowman, and Oklahoma State through the air

1331
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:31,240
Speaker 6: gave up three forty two to Tulane's freshman Darien Mensa.

1332
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 6: If they're giving up those numbers to Bowman and Mensa,

1333
01:09:35,760 --> 01:09:39,639
Speaker 6: imagine what Sanders can do today. So I think if

1334
01:09:39,640 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 6: this defense for Colorado plays better than maybe what the

1335
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 6: expectation is, I think the wrong team might be favored here.

1336
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:51,759
Speaker 4: You know, the if game can get you in trouble,

1337
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 4: but it can also be a handy tool. Okay, so

1338
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:59,600
Speaker 4: just consider the if game with Colorado. How do you

1339
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:05,559
Speaker 4: feel about Colorado just in general? If they don't complete

1340
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:07,679
Speaker 4: a hail Mary against Baylor?

1341
01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:08,599
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

1342
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 4: At home, right, Like, think about where you would be, Yeah,

1343
01:10:12,280 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 4: you would definitely feel differently about them. And that was

1344
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 4: I'm still stunned that Baylor gave that up and props

1345
01:10:19,479 --> 01:10:22,800
Speaker 4: to Shaduur Sanders and the Buffs making the play. But

1346
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:26,040
Speaker 4: I think you can give praise to the Buffs at

1347
01:10:26,080 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 4: the same time as criticized Baylor for allowing that play

1348
01:10:29,120 --> 01:10:30,960
Speaker 4: to happen. Is how do you give up a hail

1349
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 4: Mary like that? So if Colorado loses that game, they're

1350
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,719
Speaker 4: three and two at best, and I think that really

1351
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,680
Speaker 4: does change the perception of what Colorado is. I think

1352
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 4: what Colorado is. They've impressed us. They're better defensively than

1353
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 4: many thought they would be. But if you look at

1354
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:53,560
Speaker 4: the flip side to it, they got punked by Nebraska

1355
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 4: in the first half. Nebraska that was clearly domination in

1356
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:01,840
Speaker 4: the trenches. And so we're really basing a lot of

1357
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 4: this love for Colorado's defense on is they were surprisingly

1358
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:10,479
Speaker 4: really good against UCF. Is that enough for you to

1359
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 4: like maybe go above and beyond with your praise for

1360
01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 4: their defense. I would say, no, I need to see

1361
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 4: more out of that defense to truly buy in. I

1362
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 4: will buy that they're better than expected. But how much

1363
01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:25,880
Speaker 4: better is the question, And I would say not much,

1364
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,400
Speaker 4: not much compared to what we thought.

1365
01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 1: Not by leaps and bounds.

1366
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 4: Maybe that's the best way, and it might show up

1367
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 4: today against Avery Johnson and an attack that Listen, man,

1368
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 4: if you're not slowing down the run, it's going to

1369
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:41,960
Speaker 4: be a long evening. I think they're capable of slowing

1370
01:11:41,960 --> 01:11:44,160
Speaker 4: them down, but I'm not quite bought in yet, If

1371
01:11:44,200 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 4: that makes sense to.

1372
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,560
Speaker 6: You, Yeah, I think the thing I've been most impressed

1373
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 6: with is the adjustments made by Robert Livington, the defensive coordinator.

1374
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 6: They've been better in the second half of games this year,

1375
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 6: and I think it was a low bar. So when

1376
01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:02,640
Speaker 6: you are so bottom of the barrel defensively, which is

1377
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 6: where they work kind of for the most part of

1378
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 6: last year, and then all of a sudden you're now

1379
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:10,560
Speaker 6: a middle of the pack team, that's a big improvement.

1380
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:12,240
Speaker 1: That's a big improvement.

1381
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,559
Speaker 6: And I know in your mind you're like, well, there's

1382
01:12:14,600 --> 01:12:18,400
Speaker 6: still an average to maybe slightly below average defense.

1383
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,600
Speaker 1: But when they were competitive last.

1384
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 6: Year in a lot of these games with no defense,

1385
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 6: like nothing, and now you raise that bar to where

1386
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 6: it's competing, it changes what you can do.

1387
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:33,200
Speaker 1: On the other side.

1388
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 6: It changes the schemes, it changes what you can bring,

1389
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 6: and I think how they handle the running game with

1390
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,280
Speaker 6: Johnson and Gidtins is obviously going to be the key today.

1391
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 6: I think that's one of the better quarterback running back

1392
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:46,959
Speaker 6: duos in the country in terms of running the football.

1393
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 6: The big problem for Sanders is he takes too many

1394
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,400
Speaker 6: sacks and he's holding on to it too long. Well,

1395
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:55,560
Speaker 6: if Colorado can run it, it kind of neutralizes that

1396
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 6: a little bit.

1397
01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,639
Speaker 1: The one X factor here is the road environment.

1398
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 6: As I mentioned in the parlay platter segment, Kansas State

1399
01:13:03,760 --> 01:13:04,639
Speaker 6: is not good.

1400
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:05,400
Speaker 1: As a road favorite.

1401
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 6: They've lost five straight against the spread as a road favorite.

1402
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 6: Their only win cover was a win against Kansas They

1403
01:13:14,880 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 6: didn't cover, but they won the game. They don't cover

1404
01:13:17,400 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 6: on the road, and that I think is where I'm concerned,

1405
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 6: because if you're not covering three and a half, are

1406
01:13:23,439 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 6: you going to be relied upon to win the game?

1407
01:13:27,360 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 6: I think the only way to play this and betting

1408
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:33,640
Speaker 6: perspective is to bet Colorado. If you really want to

1409
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 6: get cute, you bet Colorado in the futures market with

1410
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:41,439
Speaker 6: Travis Hunter, because if Colorado wins this game. Here's the

1411
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 6: schedule the rest of the year for Colorado. We talked

1412
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 6: about Utah on the Big Twelve. They're done. Colorado goes

1413
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 6: to Arizona, then they host Cincinnati, then they go to

1414
01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 6: Texas Tech, who might be the best team in the

1415
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 6: Big Twelve, by the way. Then you taught home at

1416
01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 6: Kansas home against Oklahoma State. I don't know if they're

1417
01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 6: dogs for the rest of the year unless at Texas Deck,

1418
01:14:00,600 --> 01:14:02,720
Speaker 6: but they're rated higher than Texas Deck right now. But

1419
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 6: we'll see what Texas Deck does over the next couple weeks.

1420
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:07,080
Speaker 6: So my point being, this might be the last chance

1421
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,280
Speaker 6: you get to bet Colorado as a dog the rest

1422
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 6: of the year. Now, if they lose, you'll probably get

1423
01:14:10,880 --> 01:14:14,600
Speaker 6: another chance. But it feels like the tipping point is

1424
01:14:14,600 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 6: this week. If Colorado wants to win the Big Twelve,

1425
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:18,960
Speaker 6: they have to win this game this week.

1426
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 1: If they win this week, maybe.

1427
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,400
Speaker 6: They're the favorite to win the Big Twelve, depending on

1428
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 6: what Iowa State does and Kansas or Colorado does not

1429
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:27,800
Speaker 6: have to face Iowa State this year, which I think

1430
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:29,639
Speaker 6: is a big miss on their schedule.

1431
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:33,799
Speaker 4: Last thing, real quick about Colorado's defense, So they're eighth

1432
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:37,639
Speaker 4: in the nation in takeaways, which is great. They're taking

1433
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 4: the football away from their opponent. They forced four turnovers

1434
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 4: against UCF. So there are two ways to look at that.

1435
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,760
Speaker 4: When you're taking the ball away, that's obviously great for

1436
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:49,040
Speaker 4: your defense, great for your team. But what's their defense

1437
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 4: if they're not taking the ball away?

1438
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:51,519
Speaker 1: Right?

1439
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:55,080
Speaker 4: Like staying that, Yeah, if Kansas State protects the football,

1440
01:14:55,520 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 4: where is Colorado's defense then?

1441
01:14:58,240 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 3: Right?

1442
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,040
Speaker 4: And we might get the answer that a little bit

1443
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:04,240
Speaker 4: later tonight. All right, he's Jared Smith FSR betting analyst.

1457
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 10: have a lot to get to, man, what's something you

1458
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 10: have circle today?

1459
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 3: Man?

1460
01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 1: We have so many today. I went back to this prop.

1461
01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,439
Speaker 6: I lost on it last week, but it's you like

1462
01:16:00,800 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 6: a handicap and it didn't go your way, but you

1463
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:05,640
Speaker 6: dive into the numbers and you're like, eh, you know,

1464
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 6: a couple of bounces and I could have had it,

1465
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:09,639
Speaker 6: and then you get a better number next week.

1466
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: Oh you know, I'm going right back to it.

1467
01:16:11,439 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 6: Jackson Dark under twenty nine and a half rush yards

1468
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:18,680
Speaker 6: again fortunate. Last week the old line struggled against South Carolina.

1469
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:22,559
Speaker 6: They allowed twelve pressures, but Dart took only one sack.

1470
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,880
Speaker 6: His total was twenty three and a half. Last week

1471
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:27,720
Speaker 6: we went under. He finished with forty four. So not

1472
01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 6: saying he should have went under, but he should have

1473
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 6: been sacked more than once last week.

1474
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 1: I think his luck turns tonight in Death Valley.

1475
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 6: I think the road environment is why I really like

1476
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 6: betting on guys to get sacked, because tough to hear,

1477
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 6: the snap counts, offensive line maybe a step slow off

1478
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:45,360
Speaker 6: the ball, and LSU is a really good pass rushing

1479
01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 6: team top twenty in PFF pass rush Grade. They have

1480
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:51,840
Speaker 6: fifteen sacks over four per game in the last three.

1481
01:16:51,960 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 6: The pass rush really starting to heat up, Swinton and

1482
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 6: Jones five each. So I think even though the running

1483
01:16:58,360 --> 01:17:00,880
Speaker 6: game for Jackson Dark is obviously a big part of

1484
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 6: the Old Miss offense, I think the sacks play a

1485
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:06,120
Speaker 6: bigger factor this week, and we're getting a better number.

1486
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:08,240
Speaker 1: So under twenty nine and a half rush yards for

1487
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 1: Jackson Dark makes me think of Dumb and Dummer with Swinson.

1488
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:15,880
Speaker 6: Swans, Swanson, Samsonite, Samsonite.

1489
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:18,120
Speaker 1: I was way off? Does make me? Would you like

1490
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:20,960
Speaker 1: a prop bet horror story real fast here?

1491
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 6: I mean, I feel like of all the prop betters

1492
01:17:23,160 --> 01:17:25,479
Speaker 6: we have here, you are the one that is cursed.

1493
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:27,559
Speaker 1: You always have these crazy stories.

1494
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 4: This is an ugly yet hilarious story. So last week,

1495
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 4: same team, Old Miss I gave out on this show.

1496
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 4: In this same segment, Old Miss running back Henry Paris

1497
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 4: Junior over eighty one and a half rushing yards.

1498
01:17:42,160 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 1: Okay, he's got eighty.

1499
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 4: One rushing yards and it's getting late against South Carolina.

1500
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:52,719
Speaker 4: He's gonna get the ball. It's third and one. Okay,

1501
01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:54,240
Speaker 4: here we go. This is the time.

1502
01:17:54,280 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: We need one yard.

1503
01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 4: Let's go. Paris Junior stoned at the at the lianta scrimmage.

1504
01:18:00,160 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 4: But hey, glimmer of hope, Ole miss goes forward on

1505
01:18:03,560 --> 01:18:06,760
Speaker 4: fourth and one, they get it. Move the chains, all right,

1506
01:18:06,800 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 4: My guy's gonna get another carry. Wrong hurt on the

1507
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:14,680
Speaker 4: one carry where he's stone line of scrimmage, doesn't get

1508
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:15,800
Speaker 4: another carry in the game.

1509
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 1: We finished one yard short.

1510
01:18:17,400 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 9: That's so brutal.

1511
01:18:18,640 --> 01:18:20,920
Speaker 1: That's so bad. It's really bad.

1512
01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 5: Bryan.

1513
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 6: I'm actually impressed that you have the gumption to continue

1514
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:29,680
Speaker 6: to bet props the horse start. You have the the

1515
01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:34,599
Speaker 6: will of an iron piece of iron, man sharp steel,

1516
01:18:34,600 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 6: sharp and steel.

1517
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:37,799
Speaker 1: There we go. Okay, I'm gonna look at this Texas

1518
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:38,680
Speaker 1: Oklahoma game.

1519
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 10: All right.

1520
01:18:41,160 --> 01:18:44,759
Speaker 4: Michael Hawkins Junior is not gonna put up prolific passing yards.

1521
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: He just doesn't have a whole lot to work with.

1522
01:18:47,439 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 1: But they have to throw.

1523
01:18:49,040 --> 01:18:52,599
Speaker 4: The ball and they're probably going to be trailing, maybe

1524
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:53,160
Speaker 4: by a lot.

1525
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:57,719
Speaker 1: So I love Oklahoma tight end power sharp.

1526
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 4: Okay, his prop bet is twenty five and a half

1527
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:02,040
Speaker 4: receiving yards.

1528
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 1: You have wide.

1529
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 4: Receivers that are banged up left and right for Oklahoma

1530
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:09,599
Speaker 4: They're not gonna turn into a service academy and run

1531
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:11,880
Speaker 4: the wing tea. You know what I mean, They're gonna

1532
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:15,719
Speaker 4: throw the football. We're asking for twenty six receiving yards

1533
01:19:15,720 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 4: from a tight end. I think it's a great spot

1534
01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:19,759
Speaker 4: to back Bouer sharp.

1535
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,760
Speaker 1: I actually love this bet, so.

1536
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:24,040
Speaker 4: I'm taking him over twenty five and a half receiving

1537
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:25,640
Speaker 4: yards against Texas today.

1538
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:30,240
Speaker 6: The Boise State number today for ashing genty to score

1539
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:30,799
Speaker 6: a touchdown?

1540
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, do you want to guess what it is?

1541
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,679
Speaker 1: It's at some books minus four thousand.

1542
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:40,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's Benamgen's being a little more generous minus fourteen hundred.

1543
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 1: Wow. Only wow to bet genty to score not bad.

1544
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:47,719
Speaker 4: I gotta get over one eighty three and a half

1545
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,240
Speaker 4: like the rushing total goodness.

1546
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:50,680
Speaker 1: All right?

1547
01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:55,679
Speaker 4: Coming up next, it's strength versus strength. Ah, yes, good morning,

1548
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 4: as we get you set for a loaded college football slate.

1549
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 4: He ranked versus ranked matchups highlighted tonight Jared by number

1550
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 4: two Ohio State at number three Oregon, both teams five

1551
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 4: and zero. By the way, do you go Aughtsen Stadium

1552
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 4: or Otsen Stadium?

1553
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:16,200
Speaker 1: Oh? Both ways?

1554
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:16,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1555
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 6: Don't put me on the spawn here, because not only

1556
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:21,400
Speaker 6: do I not know what I say, usually I don't

1557
01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:24,200
Speaker 6: even know what the correct pronunciation is of that. I'm

1558
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 6: bad with pronunciations. For someone who works in this broadcasting field,

1559
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:27,840
Speaker 6: I get a lot of that wrong.

1560
01:20:28,120 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 1: I go Atsen stadium. That sounds right.

1561
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 4: I think that's the more common way to say it.

1562
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:35,080
Speaker 4: But I do hear a fair share of Otsen.

1563
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:37,760
Speaker 1: But Andada Nevada.

1564
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 6: Don't let them if you say Nevada here, and they

1565
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 6: will be very upset.

1566
01:20:41,400 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 3: That's right.

1567
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:45,640
Speaker 4: They even Nevada was playing Notre Dame a handful of

1568
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,880
Speaker 4: years ago and they said during the telecast it was

1569
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:51,759
Speaker 4: in there. Well they call it like they're the notes,

1570
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:55,880
Speaker 4: the press guy or whatever the media guide. In the

1571
01:20:55,920 --> 01:20:58,600
Speaker 4: media guide, it was like, it's Nevada.

1572
01:20:58,800 --> 01:20:59,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, don't get mad.

1573
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,000
Speaker 6: They'll kick you right out of the state. I almost

1574
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:04,639
Speaker 6: got kicked out my first month here.

1575
01:21:04,720 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1576
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 1: No, like get into the a you know, thevata get

1577
01:21:10,240 --> 01:21:13,519
Speaker 1: him mata. Yeah. But it's strength versus strength.

1578
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:16,920
Speaker 4: And when it's Ohio State and Oregon tonight, Ohio State's

1579
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 4: running attack is really really good, and Oregon's rush defense

1580
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 4: so far has been really good as well. And I

1581
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 4: think for Oregon's defense.

1582
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:26,439
Speaker 1: I think it starts there.

1583
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:30,840
Speaker 4: Jared right, this one two combination with Ohio State running

1584
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 4: the football. If your Oregon's defense and you can hold

1585
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 4: the running attack in check and make Ohio State more

1586
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:42,680
Speaker 4: one dimensional, that would set up very nicely for you.

1587
01:21:42,720 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: Will Howard is not a great athletic quarterback.

1588
01:21:46,840 --> 01:21:50,240
Speaker 4: So if you're able to neutralize the running game and

1589
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,559
Speaker 4: sort of tee off on him, that would be great.

1590
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:57,360
Speaker 4: If if Ohio States in obvious passing situations. It's easier

1591
01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:00,760
Speaker 4: said than done. But I think it starts there, Oregon's

1592
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 4: defense slowing down Ohio State's running attack.

1593
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,400
Speaker 6: I agree, But here's the problem. I just got this

1594
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:09,599
Speaker 6: nugget from my injury folks, and they said Jordan Birch,

1595
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 6: who's one of the best defensive ends in the country,

1596
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:16,519
Speaker 6: tweaked something in practice. I don't know if he's gonna

1597
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:18,920
Speaker 6: play tonight. They usually keep this stuff pretty close to

1598
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 6: the vest, but that injury news got leaked. I don't

1599
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 6: know how it changes the matchup here, because it still

1600
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 6: is do you trust Will Howard on the road, And

1601
01:22:31,040 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 6: that's where it all comes down to. For I think

1602
01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 6: Oregon's defense against this Ohio State offense we know Ohio

1603
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 6: State can run it. Henderson Judkins probably the best one

1604
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:41,559
Speaker 6: two punch in the country, the both top thirty five

1605
01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:44,559
Speaker 6: and EPA per rush. We know Ohio State has weapons

1606
01:22:44,560 --> 01:22:47,880
Speaker 6: on the outside, Jeremiah Smith and mechag Buka probably the

1607
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 6: best one two puncher receiver in the country fifty three

1608
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 6: of the teams one hundred and eight receptions those two

1609
01:22:53,600 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 6: guys on the season. But Will Howard six big time

1610
01:22:57,160 --> 01:23:00,759
Speaker 6: throws according to Pro Football Focus, six turnover worthy throws

1611
01:23:01,120 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 6: according to Pro Football Focus last year with k State

1612
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:09,280
Speaker 6: sixteen touchdowns, ten picks, So especially on the road, you wonder,

1613
01:23:09,400 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 6: you worry if he can handle that. Again, if Oregon's

1614
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:17,720
Speaker 6: defense is shorthanded, if Birch can't go, well, then you

1615
01:23:17,880 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 6: just have Harmon on the outside, who's still good.

1616
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 1: But you can double team.

1617
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 6: And this Oregon defense they had one test this year

1618
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 6: Boise State.

1619
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 1: They failed it, gave up thirty four points.

1620
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 6: If you remove the Boise State data point, well, Oregon's

1621
01:23:32,400 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 6: only given up like seventy rush yards per game this year.

1622
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,200
Speaker 1: But then you throw in what Ashton Genty did, and

1623
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1624
01:23:38,479 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 6: Genty's probably better than Henderson and Judkins, but maybe not

1625
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 6: the duo of Henderson and Judkins maybe is better than

1626
01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 6: just singular genty, but that's on the offensive side for

1627
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 6: Ohio State. I think if Oregon's defense is just a

1628
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:56,040
Speaker 6: little slow, a little bit less than expected because of

1629
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,799
Speaker 6: the production without Birch, and if we trust Will Howard

1630
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:02,599
Speaker 6: to make the big mistake, I think Ohio State's got

1631
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:03,000
Speaker 6: the etcher.

1632
01:24:03,880 --> 01:24:05,000
Speaker 1: Well. And that's the thing too.

1633
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:09,639
Speaker 4: Man is Dylan Gabriel where He's a talented guy, There's

1634
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 4: no doubt about it. But what three red zone interceptions

1635
01:24:13,280 --> 01:24:16,160
Speaker 4: so far this season? And I think that's the thing

1636
01:24:16,200 --> 01:24:18,880
Speaker 4: with Oregon. I watch them in all these games, Jared,

1637
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 4: and it's just like, Okay, they're probably gonna break out

1638
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:22,639
Speaker 4: this game.

1639
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:25,880
Speaker 1: They didn't break out that game. Well, it's their dude,

1640
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: at some point, right, they're just too talented.

1641
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:30,600
Speaker 4: They didn't break out in that game either. I have

1642
01:24:30,640 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 4: a hard time seeing them break out against Ohio State,

1643
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,800
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like, maybe they get up

1644
01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:40,480
Speaker 4: for this game even more and they reach their full potential.

1645
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 4: But if you're not breaking out against UCLA or Michigan State,

1646
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 4: I have a hard time seeing them break out against

1647
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 4: Ohio State. I just look at this Oregon offense, and

1648
01:24:52,080 --> 01:24:54,960
Speaker 4: it leaves me it's like you tasted something bitter and

1649
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:59,479
Speaker 4: you're like, man, they should be doing more than this, right,

1650
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:02,400
Speaker 4: we haven't had many shock plays with Tes Johnson, the

1651
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 4: talented well receiver. I'm just waiting for more with Oregon's

1652
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:07,720
Speaker 4: offense and we haven't gotten there yet.

1653
01:25:08,040 --> 01:25:13,280
Speaker 6: Totally agree. The good news for Oregon's offense is Ohio

1654
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,839
Speaker 6: State has not faced an offense with a pulse all season,

1655
01:25:16,840 --> 01:25:19,639
Speaker 6: and in fact, both of these teams it's actually weird.

1656
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 6: Both of these teams have been favored by double digits

1657
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 6: in all of their games. So this is this is

1658
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 6: going to be that first real tight, you know, nervy

1659
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 6: matchup for either team. Dylan Gabriel hasn't played clean football.

1660
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 1: You mentioned it.

1661
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:36,840
Speaker 6: Red zone turnovers too many of them, two touchdowns, three

1662
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:38,840
Speaker 6: turnover where he plays over his last two weeks. Now,

1663
01:25:38,840 --> 01:25:40,680
Speaker 6: the good news is they got Jordan James going in

1664
01:25:40,720 --> 01:25:43,240
Speaker 6: the run game last week one hundred and sixty seven yards.

1665
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:44,840
Speaker 1: He's had four touchdowns in his last three.

1666
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:47,759
Speaker 6: He's a bruiser, He's averaging almost four yards per rush

1667
01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,799
Speaker 6: after first contact, and they're gonna need him today because

1668
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:54,000
Speaker 6: to your point about Tesz Johnson only nine yards per

1669
01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:56,960
Speaker 6: catch for a deep threat, not very threatening. Two and

1670
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,640
Speaker 6: a half yards per route run not very good. You

1671
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:01,879
Speaker 6: want to be three or more. That's kind of average.

1672
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 6: Over four is like elite. The key matchup Oregon O

1673
01:26:05,680 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 6: line against the Ohio State D line. Oregon allowed seven

1674
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:11,839
Speaker 6: sacks the first two games against Boise and Idaho woof

1675
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 6: zero sacks the last three games against Michigan State UCLA,

1676
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 6: Oregon State just six pressures allowed in that span one

1677
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:22,400
Speaker 6: hundred and three dropbacks. They've been elite pass blocking it

1678
01:26:22,960 --> 01:26:25,880
Speaker 6: over that stretch. But this Ohio State D line is

1679
01:26:25,880 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 6: a different animal. I mean, go watch the film last

1680
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 6: week against Iowa, and Iowa is not an amazing offensive line,

1681
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:36,639
Speaker 6: but their average, maybe slightly above average offensive line. Fifteen pressures,

1682
01:26:36,720 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 6: four sacks. The Buckey's allowed just two hundred and twenty

1683
01:26:39,840 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 6: six total yards. Hamilton Sawyer Tyleek Williams. If those guys

1684
01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:46,360
Speaker 6: went up front, Oregon's gonna struggle to move the ball today.

1685
01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1686
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 4: And one thing I do like about Oregon though, is

1687
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:55,800
Speaker 4: that this is an insane completion rate. Dylan Gabriel completing

1688
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,559
Speaker 4: seventy seven point eight percent of his passes this year.

1689
01:26:59,600 --> 01:27:02,639
Speaker 4: Now of these are high percentage throws. But what it

1690
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 4: does is it puts pressure on Ohio State's defense to

1691
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 4: tackle well right, like they're not looking. Oregon isn't like

1692
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:13,800
Speaker 4: let's just air it out left and right. There are

1693
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:17,879
Speaker 4: a lot of short, high percentage throws. It's like Texas.

1694
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:20,800
Speaker 4: Texas does this all the time too, these short throws.

1695
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 4: How well do you tackle in space?

1696
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:23,720
Speaker 1: You know?

1697
01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 4: So that's gonna be big for Ohio States defense as well.

1698
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,160
Speaker 4: But I think at the same time, it's not just

1699
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:33,080
Speaker 4: these little death by a thousand cuts right. At some

1700
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:36,719
Speaker 4: point you need some shock plays, yep. And we've seen

1701
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 4: an inability for Oregon to generate a lot of those.

1702
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:44,600
Speaker 4: So that's what my eye on my eyes are on

1703
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 4: with Oregon is can they complete some of those shock

1704
01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 4: plays and make things more like easier for their offense

1705
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:57,519
Speaker 4: and just get some momentum going you know what I mean,

1706
01:27:57,640 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 4: Like if you hit one of those shock plays, that

1707
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 4: can generate a lot more than just six points. And

1708
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,679
Speaker 4: I just haven't seen Oregon's defense do it thus far.

1709
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:07,439
Speaker 1: I can't wait.

1710
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 4: This atmosphere is going to be tremendous, But I want

1711
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 4: to see if Oregon's offense can open things up because

1712
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 4: they just haven't done far.

1713
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 1: The number thinks.

1714
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:19,240
Speaker 6: So we've seen the total get bet up sitting a

1715
01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:21,599
Speaker 6: fifty four and a half now to open fifty one

1716
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,040
Speaker 6: and a half. We did see the early money on Oregon,

1717
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 6: but now that it's at three and MGM's kind of

1718
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 6: giving you this half bake number right now, three and

1719
01:28:31,280 --> 01:28:33,560
Speaker 6: a half plus one hundred. So if you want to

1720
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:35,360
Speaker 6: lay the three and a half, you're going to get

1721
01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 6: more favorable odds to do so I'd be okay.

1722
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: Betting that number. I think this is Ohio State's game.

1723
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:47,759
Speaker 6: I trust Jim Knowles over anyone else on the Oregon

1724
01:28:47,840 --> 01:28:50,759
Speaker 6: offensive coaching staff. And if you want to go pound

1725
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:54,800
Speaker 6: for pound in the coaching room, Jim Knowles, Ryan Day

1726
01:28:55,800 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 6: against Dan Lanning, like, go look at the big games

1727
01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,920
Speaker 6: Dan Lanning's playing. Go watch the Pack twelve championship last

1728
01:29:00,960 --> 01:29:04,639
Speaker 6: year against Washington. Completely unprepared for that game, a lot

1729
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 6: of mistakes, turnovers. I just I trust Ryan Day more

1730
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:12,000
Speaker 6: in a big spot. I trust Jim Knowles more in

1731
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 6: a big spot to have his team ready. And the

1732
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 6: Oregon offense I don't think has that elite game breaker

1733
01:29:19,960 --> 01:29:22,240
Speaker 6: Kez Johnson's been the guy, but the numbers haven't been

1734
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:25,839
Speaker 6: there yet. And can he do it again today against

1735
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 6: the best defense he's faced all year. I think the

1736
01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 6: road environment will make this obviously the equalizer here, and

1737
01:29:34,240 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 6: the road team traveling the Big ten road teams going.

1738
01:29:37,360 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 1: Multiple time zones haven't done well. But I don't know.

1739
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:42,920
Speaker 6: Chip Kelly coming back to Oregon, I just feel like

1740
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:44,840
Speaker 6: I feel like this is Ohio States game.

1741
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:45,479
Speaker 1: I really do.

1742
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:50,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, uh yeah, Chip Kelly back at Oregon as Ohio

1743
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:51,960
Speaker 4: State's offensive yaminator.

1744
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:54,920
Speaker 6: That is an elite coaching staff. Chip Kelly, Jim Knowles,

1745
01:29:54,960 --> 01:29:56,800
Speaker 6: Ryan Day. I mean, that's as good as it gets

1746
01:29:56,880 --> 01:29:57,280
Speaker 6: right there.

1747
01:29:57,479 --> 01:30:01,679
Speaker 4: That's really solid. And think about everything Chip Kelly has

1748
01:30:01,800 --> 01:30:07,080
Speaker 4: to work with offensively, all those playmakers against his former school.

1749
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 1: Embarrassment of riches. Yeah.

1750
01:30:08,880 --> 01:30:12,599
Speaker 4: That's the thing too, is like I'm just not sold

1751
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:13,719
Speaker 4: on Will Howard either.

1752
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 1: No, no, no, that's the fact.

1753
01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the guy, because he's got all these weapons

1754
01:30:19,600 --> 01:30:22,840
Speaker 4: around him, but there are times where he's looking for

1755
01:30:22,880 --> 01:30:26,360
Speaker 4: a receiver and he's kind of clunky scrambling around, and

1756
01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:26,800
Speaker 4: I'm like.

1757
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 1: I'm just not sold on Will Howard.

1758
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 4: So maybe that's your entry point if you're on the Ducks,

1759
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:36,280
Speaker 4: is rattling Will Howard a little bit, maybe forcing him

1760
01:30:36,280 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 4: to make a bad decision or two, and that can

1761
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:41,320
Speaker 4: lead to a lot of good things for the Ducks.

1762
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:45,040
Speaker 4: But like what you said, Jared is if Oregon is

1763
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:49,360
Speaker 4: down potentially their best pass rusher, well that that makes

1764
01:30:49,360 --> 01:30:52,840
Speaker 4: it a lot more difficult the huge And I'll tell you.

1765
01:30:52,800 --> 01:30:57,520
Speaker 6: What if Ohio State runs the ball, Will Howard is irrelevant.

1766
01:30:57,920 --> 01:31:03,320
Speaker 6: Like if Oregon can't take away those two backs Henderson

1767
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 6: and Judkins, it's gonna be.

1768
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:05,599
Speaker 1: A long day.

1769
01:31:06,280 --> 01:31:09,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know it. And that's it's easier said than done. Man,

1770
01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:14,360
Speaker 4: that's a great one two punch on the ground. And look, man,

1771
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 4: that's the thing when you're trying to win road games

1772
01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 4: in an atmosphere like it's gonna be in Eugene at

1773
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:24,439
Speaker 4: autsin slash Otson Stadium, you know you want you want

1774
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:27,000
Speaker 4: to run the ball like that's high percentage run the rock.

1775
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 4: They can't stop it. This fastball is going right down

1776
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:31,680
Speaker 4: the middle, but you can't hit it, you know what

1777
01:31:31,760 --> 01:31:35,120
Speaker 4: I mean. Like that is a great way to travel

1778
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:37,679
Speaker 4: in game yards and score points is with the running game.

1779
01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:38,439
Speaker 1: And they've got.

1780
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:44,000
Speaker 6: It it's gonna be a war. I am more excited

1781
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 6: about these cross country games today. Yeah, and we'll get

1782
01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:50,720
Speaker 6: to the other one in a minute, because it just

1783
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:54,599
Speaker 6: it shows your metal as a team. Like if if

1784
01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:58,360
Speaker 6: Ohio State and we might not, we might not get there,

1785
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:03,280
Speaker 6: but bookmark this, Elijah, just bookmark this. We might be

1786
01:32:03,360 --> 01:32:06,879
Speaker 6: looking back at this game in three months. Whenever January

1787
01:32:06,880 --> 01:32:09,200
Speaker 6: comes around, Cultura will playoff time and we're like, wow,

1788
01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 6: we were getting Ohio State.

1789
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:13,040
Speaker 1: As a field goal favorite against the Oregon.

1790
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:16,880
Speaker 6: And like, Ohio State, based on all the chaos that's

1791
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 6: happening in the SEC, Ohio State is the most talented

1792
01:32:20,320 --> 01:32:22,720
Speaker 6: team in the country. They have the best weapons, they

1793
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:26,800
Speaker 6: have the best coaches. I think at every level. I

1794
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 6: think they might be the best team and we haven't

1795
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:31,559
Speaker 6: seen it yet because they haven't played anyone until today.

1796
01:32:31,880 --> 01:32:36,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, real fast. How much do you put into the

1797
01:32:36,240 --> 01:32:40,679
Speaker 4: travel here? Because the Big Ten stat right on eight,

1798
01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:43,760
Speaker 4: these teams that have traveled two time zones. How much

1799
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:45,880
Speaker 4: do you consider that in a game like tonight?

1800
01:32:45,920 --> 01:32:46,719
Speaker 1: But it matters.

1801
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:50,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think the travel based on what

1802
01:32:50,600 --> 01:32:53,679
Speaker 6: I've seen. I mean, look at usc usc has gone

1803
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:55,960
Speaker 6: on the road to these Big Ten teams twice as

1804
01:32:56,000 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 6: big favorites, not as big of a favorite. At Michigan,

1805
01:32:58,479 --> 01:33:02,240
Speaker 6: they were double dig your favorite at Minnesota, and they

1806
01:33:02,320 --> 01:33:06,720
Speaker 6: just wore down, like they just wore down, and Michigan just.

1807
01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:09,160
Speaker 1: Took their heart in the fourth quarter. Minnesota took their

1808
01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:10,000
Speaker 1: heart in the fourth court.

1809
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 6: Everybody in the stadium. New Minnesota was running it against

1810
01:33:14,479 --> 01:33:16,880
Speaker 6: USC last week. They still couldn't stop it like it.

1811
01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:20,439
Speaker 6: I just don't know if there's the backbone. When you're

1812
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 6: on the road, you have to have more oomph. And

1813
01:33:25,600 --> 01:33:27,240
Speaker 6: I don't know if they you know, you never know.

1814
01:33:27,360 --> 01:33:29,040
Speaker 6: You never know what these teams when they're gonna bring it.

1815
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:31,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder how much of that is the travel

1816
01:33:31,640 --> 01:33:33,439
Speaker 4: and how much of that is just USC is not

1817
01:33:33,479 --> 01:33:34,400
Speaker 4: great against the run.

1818
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,760
Speaker 6: Could be that, it could be that I think the

1819
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:39,960
Speaker 6: travel matters because and Rich could speak to this better.

1820
01:33:40,120 --> 01:33:44,400
Speaker 6: But I have traveled with college teams before, especially in

1821
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:47,599
Speaker 6: smaller venues when you're used to going to the end.

1822
01:33:47,680 --> 01:33:49,679
Speaker 6: Don't get me wrong, I know Oregon's on a small venue,

1823
01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 6: but Eugene is a small town.

1824
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:51,880
Speaker 1: It's not easy to get to.

1825
01:33:52,960 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 6: They go to the same when you're in the same conference,

1826
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:57,200
Speaker 6: you go to the same hotel, you eat the same

1827
01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:00,919
Speaker 6: pregame meal. It's routine, and now we're shift that routine.

1828
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:02,320
Speaker 6: I think it matters a little bit.

1829
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:06,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, that's Jared Smith FSR betting analyst. I'm

1830
01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:08,760
Speaker 4: probably a note Rich Hornberger with us for the first

1853
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:26,679
Speaker 4: quick rant, if I may, Jared Smith here, I love it.

1854
01:35:26,840 --> 01:35:29,360
Speaker 1: You know I love your rants. I'd like to talk

1855
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:32,920
Speaker 1: trash and give props at the same time. Oh, that's

1856
01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 1: hard to do. It's a two for one combo platter.

1857
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:37,560
Speaker 1: If you will.

1858
01:35:37,680 --> 01:35:44,880
Speaker 4: Uh Utah last night losing to Arizona State ugly, the

1859
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:51,800
Speaker 4: amount of time we've wasted on cam rising the Utah quarterbacks.

1860
01:35:51,840 --> 01:35:53,800
Speaker 1: You gonna play? Is he not gonna play? Is he

1861
01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna play? I heard he might play. He's not gonna play.

1862
01:35:56,680 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm here to say, who cares? Okay, who cares?

1863
01:36:00,360 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 4: Because last night, and you said this briefly, he was

1864
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:06,600
Speaker 4: freaking awful and it sounds like I lost money on

1865
01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:09,320
Speaker 4: the utes. I can't bet on college sports in the

1866
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:11,880
Speaker 4: state of Oregon right now. So I had no cash

1867
01:36:11,920 --> 01:36:15,880
Speaker 4: on this whatsoever. Maybe I would have, but I wasn't

1868
01:36:15,920 --> 01:36:19,479
Speaker 4: allowed to here in this state. But man, you talk

1869
01:36:19,520 --> 01:36:24,200
Speaker 4: about the coverage being completely over the top, and I

1870
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:26,799
Speaker 4: know he's dealing with an injury, right got the finger

1871
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 4: issue going on. But when you look at the amount

1872
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:34,759
Speaker 4: of time we've wasted on Cam Rising this year, last season,

1873
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:40,280
Speaker 4: and what we got last night inaccurate two interceptions, he

1874
01:36:40,320 --> 01:36:42,479
Speaker 4: had a guy wide open over the middle, threw it

1875
01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:46,040
Speaker 4: at his feet. It's like, that's a great school throw,

1876
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:47,759
Speaker 4: not even a high school throw.

1877
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:49,680
Speaker 1: Then, at the same time, props.

1878
01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:51,960
Speaker 4: To Kenny Dillingham because what he's done at Arizona State.

1879
01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:55,280
Speaker 4: I think they've already exceeded their season win tols. He's

1880
01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:58,680
Speaker 4: done a great job in Skataboo running the rock. He's

1881
01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:00,880
Speaker 4: a lot of fun Arizona State. I take my hat

1882
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:04,200
Speaker 4: off to them. At the same time, I just look

1883
01:37:04,240 --> 01:37:07,759
Speaker 4: at the youths and specifically Cam Rising, and I say,

1884
01:37:08,080 --> 01:37:09,360
Speaker 4: you guys get out of my.

1885
01:37:09,439 --> 01:37:12,880
Speaker 1: Life right now, please. I'm sick and tired of the

1886
01:37:12,880 --> 01:37:14,439
Speaker 1: coverage being so over the top.

1887
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:17,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, this is where we're at in college football with

1888
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:21,280
Speaker 6: these guys. Kyle Whittingham's been doing this now for two years,

1889
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:23,720
Speaker 6: and he looked like a quarterback that hadn't played in

1890
01:37:23,720 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 6: two years. The thing about Utah that's unique is their

1891
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:30,200
Speaker 6: defense actually kept them in that.

1892
01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:32,080
Speaker 1: Game for way longer than they probably should have been.

1893
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:37,559
Speaker 6: Arizona State they're a tough They're a tough out, desert

1894
01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:41,959
Speaker 6: swarm like when they're playing and flying around on defense,

1895
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:44,599
Speaker 6: they're a tough out because I think their offense has

1896
01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:46,760
Speaker 6: a little bit of spunk to them. I've been so

1897
01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:51,559
Speaker 6: impressed with some of the new coaches taking over teams

1898
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:56,599
Speaker 6: and just light speed getting to a winning vibe. Usually

1899
01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 6: it takes a couple of years, but because of the

1900
01:37:59,560 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 6: portal and because of the current era we're in in

1901
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:09,040
Speaker 6: college football, you can literally change your franchise, change your

1902
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:12,320
Speaker 6: program in a season. Look at U El Monroe. Their

1903
01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 6: win total was one and a half. They're favored again today,

1904
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:19,080
Speaker 6: they're probably gonna make a bowl game like it, and

1905
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:23,880
Speaker 6: Navy and Army completely changing their offenses. You get teams

1906
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:27,280
Speaker 6: like Tulane, Nevada, New Mexico first year head coach is

1907
01:38:27,360 --> 01:38:31,120
Speaker 6: way better than expected. So Arizona State, like I know,

1908
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:34,200
Speaker 6: we're like, oh, afterthought, who cares? Like No, Kenny Dillingham's

1909
01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:36,760
Speaker 6: a good coach and they've got some players, and it's

1910
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 6: easier to get your speed, to get your program up

1911
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 6: to speed with a new with the first year head

1912
01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:44,360
Speaker 6: coach than ever before. So we need to kind of

1913
01:38:44,400 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 6: adjust the way that we adjust our ratings.

1914
01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:50,080
Speaker 1: Usually it's a slow process. We adjust the point a

1915
01:38:50,080 --> 01:38:53,680
Speaker 1: couple points. Here, Indiana is up like twelve points.

1916
01:38:54,160 --> 01:38:57,720
Speaker 6: They're just the cover machine, like who's Indiana with Kurt

1917
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,800
Speaker 6: Signetti jmu coach brings it on all the jam you guys,

1918
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:03,360
Speaker 6: All of a sudden, Indiana is this powerhouse has a

1919
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:06,400
Speaker 6: chance literally Indiana has a chance to make collegetable playoffs.

1920
01:39:06,960 --> 01:39:07,639
Speaker 1: It's crazy.

1921
01:39:07,800 --> 01:39:09,680
Speaker 4: Well that's the thing, man is I think you have

1922
01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:12,680
Speaker 4: to let go of what you were expecting, yes, and

1923
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:15,880
Speaker 4: attach yourself to what you're getting. You know, like there's

1924
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:21,200
Speaker 4: a matchup later tonight Arizona against BYU Arizona. You're thinking

1925
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:27,000
Speaker 4: about okay Ffita Tetoa. You know, get we get t

1926
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:30,720
Speaker 4: mac here. Okay Arizona. They were high flying last year.

1927
01:39:30,760 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 4: They surprised a lot of people and they were they

1928
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:36,440
Speaker 4: had higher expectations. They haven't been as good as BYU.

1929
01:39:36,760 --> 01:39:40,040
Speaker 4: You know, BYU is the afterthought, and they're are the

1930
01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:43,439
Speaker 4: best teams in that conference so far. So that's the

1931
01:39:43,479 --> 01:39:46,640
Speaker 4: thing is I think you do. And it's hard sometimes

1932
01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:49,479
Speaker 4: because you were so adamant, like I felt this team

1933
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:51,719
Speaker 4: was going to be good and they're just not good,

1934
01:39:51,840 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 4: or I thought this team was gonna suck and they're

1935
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:57,360
Speaker 4: actually pretty good. I think you have to adjust pretty

1936
01:39:57,400 --> 01:40:02,080
Speaker 4: quickly because things changed from in college football. We'll get

1937
01:40:02,080 --> 01:40:06,439
Speaker 4: to the other ranked versus ranked game tonight in a

1938
01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 4: fantastic atmosphere. First, though, it always feels like ranked versus

1939
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,720
Speaker 4: ranked in a fantastic atmosphere every time we hear from

1940

1944
01:40:23,000 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 9: I guess that holds up. You're absolutely right, thanks, well,

Speaker 4: follow rate and review it again. Just search Fox Sports

1989
01:42:28,120 --> 01:42:30,680
Speaker 4: Radio wherever you get your podcasts, and you'll see the

1990
01:42:30,680 --> 01:42:33,080
Speaker 4: show posted right after we get off the air. Number

1991
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:38,719
Speaker 4: nine Old Miss against Number thirteen LSU in Death Freaking

1992
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:43,200
Speaker 4: Valley tonight. Here, Jared, we've got Old Miss five and

1993
01:42:43,240 --> 01:42:45,840
Speaker 4: one LSU four and one LSU.

1994
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:49,760
Speaker 1: Now they're a three and a half point home underdog.

1995
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:53,120
Speaker 4: Oh boy, and listen with a total at sixty two

1996
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:57,000
Speaker 4: and a half, you have you have the potential to

1997
01:42:57,000 --> 01:42:59,840
Speaker 4: make a good argument on either side. Right, Like, there's

1998
01:42:59,880 --> 01:43:03,280
Speaker 4: so much variance in this game and so much offense LSU.

1999
01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:06,439
Speaker 4: If you're looking at Old Miss, LSU is one hundred

2000
01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:10,760
Speaker 4: and twenty fourth in passing success rate allowed. That's not

2001
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 4: a great formula against Ohio State and Lane Kiffin's against

2002
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:17,080
Speaker 4: Ole Miss and Lane Kiffins squad, that's not great.

2003
01:43:17,840 --> 01:43:18,839
Speaker 1: But if you look.

2004
01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:24,679
Speaker 4: At LSU, LSU has a fantastic offensive line. I think

2005
01:43:24,840 --> 01:43:29,599
Speaker 4: Garrett Nusmeyer is his passing prop is over three hundred.

2006
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 4: He's going to be putting up some yards tonight and

2007
01:43:33,400 --> 01:43:36,160
Speaker 4: that is just such a tough place to play. Trey Harris,

2008
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:39,559
Speaker 4: the Old Miss stud wide receiver, he's questionable. He torched

2009
01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 4: LSU last season, so that's something to keep in mind.

2010
01:43:43,680 --> 01:43:45,800
Speaker 4: But man, when you get a little more than three,

2011
01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:48,440
Speaker 4: you're getting three in the hook at home. In that atmosphere.

2012
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:52,600
Speaker 4: Ole Miss doesn't typically go into Baton Rouge as a

2013
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:55,599
Speaker 4: road favorite and win, so it's not gonna be easy

2014
01:43:55,600 --> 01:43:56,560
Speaker 4: for them whatsoever.

2015
01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:59,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, the big news here, Trey Harris, leading receiver in

2016
01:43:59,600 --> 01:44:04,920
Speaker 6: the CUN upgraded from questionable to probable with a hamstring injury.

2017
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:08,599
Speaker 1: I think he'll play. The question is how effective will

2018
01:44:08,640 --> 01:44:08,840
Speaker 1: he be.

2019
01:44:09,320 --> 01:44:11,719
Speaker 6: He was hurt in the second half of last week's

2020
01:44:11,720 --> 01:44:14,760
Speaker 6: game against South Carolina, didn't play the entire second half,

2021
01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:17,920
Speaker 6: and Ole Miss only scored three points without him, and

2022
01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:21,000
Speaker 6: South Carolina's defense is not really that good. So I

2023
01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:26,880
Speaker 6: think on the road night game Death Valley, if he's healthy,

2024
01:44:26,920 --> 01:44:29,559
Speaker 6: it makes me feel a lot differently about this game.

2025
01:44:29,600 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 1: I don't think he's one hundred percent.

2026
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:34,120
Speaker 6: Even if he plays, he's not gonna be as game

2027
01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:36,000
Speaker 6: breaky as he normally is.

2028
01:44:36,040 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 1: And again, he's the guy that he liked that and

2029
01:44:37,960 --> 01:44:41,160
Speaker 1: made that word up. Yeah, I like that.

2030
01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 6: I'll use it for me. Well, we'll see if it

2031
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:45,360
Speaker 6: catches on the Oxford Dictionary. Is gonna give me a

2032
01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:49,560
Speaker 6: call later today and gonna they're gonna add it highly questionable.

2033
01:44:49,600 --> 01:44:53,880
Speaker 6: And let's say he plays and he's fifty percent. All right,

2034
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:57,160
Speaker 6: maybe you're a decoy and that's a good thing because

2035
01:44:57,200 --> 01:44:59,960
Speaker 6: Jackson Dark needs he needs as much space as possible.

2036
01:45:00,479 --> 01:45:03,200
Speaker 6: But this is a really tough situational spot for ole Miss.

2037
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:06,400
Speaker 6: Lsu was well rested. They're off the by ole Miss

2038
01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:10,439
Speaker 6: is playing their third straight SEC Grinder lost to Kentucky

2039
01:45:10,439 --> 01:45:13,240
Speaker 6: two weeks ago. Is a big favorite. Beat South Carolina

2040
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:16,160
Speaker 6: last week, covered as a favorite. The market kind of

2041
01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:18,640
Speaker 6: hates LSU. We've been fading LSU a lot in the

2042
01:45:18,680 --> 01:45:21,160
Speaker 6: market this year. That's why this number went from three

2043
01:45:21,320 --> 01:45:23,760
Speaker 6: now three and a half, and you getting a favorable number.

2044
01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:25,160
Speaker 6: Right If you're thinking, if you're looking at this game,

2045
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:27,559
Speaker 6: you're like, Wow, LSU Night Game, Death Valley. I'm getting

2046
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:29,479
Speaker 6: three and a half points as a dog at home.

2047
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:32,479
Speaker 6: I like the under in this game. I bet the

2048
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,040
Speaker 6: under earlier this week at sixty three. It's sixty two

2049
01:45:35,040 --> 01:45:35,400
Speaker 6: and a half.

2050
01:45:35,479 --> 01:45:35,960
Speaker 1: Right now.

2051
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:41,479
Speaker 6: You think offense when you think Lane Kiffin, and that's fair.

2052
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:43,080
Speaker 1: Last year, remember it was.

2053
01:45:43,080 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 6: Fifty five forty nine this game LSU with Jayden Daniels

2054
01:45:47,160 --> 01:45:49,160
Speaker 6: at Neighbors and Brian Thomas. I mean, it was a

2055
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:54,080
Speaker 6: show for LSU and Ole miss on the offensive side

2056
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 6: of the ball. I don't know if it's going to

2057
01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:58,160
Speaker 6: be the same vibes this year. It feels a little

2058
01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:01,160
Speaker 6: more buttoned up. It feels a little bit more like

2059
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:04,240
Speaker 6: Ole Missus. Just elite defense, which by the way, leads

2060
01:46:04,280 --> 01:46:07,840
Speaker 6: the nation in sacks and TFLs, has a bit of

2061
01:46:07,880 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 6: an edge compared to last year when they had no

2062
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:13,120
Speaker 6: shot against Daniels and that offense. Now they won the game,

2063
01:46:13,120 --> 01:46:16,320
Speaker 6: but they had no shot of stopping them. It to me,

2064
01:46:16,400 --> 01:46:19,200
Speaker 6: if Harris is one hundred percent, it changes my view

2065
01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:20,880
Speaker 6: a little bit. I don't think he's one hundred percent,

2066
01:46:21,040 --> 01:46:23,360
Speaker 6: and I don't think this LSU offense is going to

2067
01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 6: be able to stretch the field. So I kind of

2068
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 6: like the under and I kind of lean towards Ole

2069
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:29,920
Speaker 6: miss but not.

2070
01:46:29,880 --> 01:46:30,599
Speaker 1: At three and a half.

2071
01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:33,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, how about another game where it's a home dog

2072
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:35,799
Speaker 4: of three and a half. So we got your guys,

2073
01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:40,479
Speaker 4: Penn State number four in the country at USC and

2074
01:46:41,439 --> 01:46:44,439
Speaker 4: you know, so we get the time zone thing. Yeah,

2075
01:46:44,720 --> 01:46:48,320
Speaker 4: Penn State traveling all the way to southern California. You

2076
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:54,080
Speaker 4: had USC struggle against run based teams in Michigan and Minnesota.

2077
01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:57,240
Speaker 4: They dropped both of those games. Hey man, your nitny

2078
01:46:57,280 --> 01:47:00,800
Speaker 4: Lions can run the rock also. So this is a

2079
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:04,599
Speaker 4: sharp play. As Seamus McGee mentioned, we talked to him

2080
01:47:04,640 --> 01:47:08,920
Speaker 4: every show here on Saturdays from bed MGM, and he said,

2081
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:11,240
Speaker 4: this is a sharp play. A lot of USC money

2082
01:47:11,240 --> 01:47:13,599
Speaker 4: coming in on the sharp side. What do you think

2083
01:47:13,600 --> 01:47:17,040
Speaker 4: about your boys Penn State potentially covering have to win

2084
01:47:17,080 --> 01:47:18,599
Speaker 4: by at least four on the road here.

2085
01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not betting this one.

2086
01:47:20,920 --> 01:47:22,960
Speaker 6: I wanted to get there with USC, but it's really

2087
01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:25,720
Speaker 6: hard for me to fade penns Like Penn State is

2088
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:28,360
Speaker 6: the one team, you know, I'm a New York sports

2089
01:47:28,400 --> 01:47:29,639
Speaker 6: fan from that area.

2090
01:47:29,840 --> 01:47:30,639
Speaker 1: Jets, Yankees.

2091
01:47:30,840 --> 01:47:33,599
Speaker 6: I'll fade the Jets every week if I think it's

2092
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:34,080
Speaker 6: a good bet.

2093
01:47:34,120 --> 01:47:34,599
Speaker 1: I don't care.

2094
01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:38,120
Speaker 6: With Penn State, I still have that, you know, I

2095
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 6: still attach myself to them a little bit. So even

2096
01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:43,920
Speaker 6: though it was the sharp side this week, very hard

2097
01:47:43,920 --> 01:47:46,120
Speaker 6: for me to get to the window with the Trojans.

2098
01:47:46,479 --> 01:47:48,559
Speaker 1: This game's had some juice to it over the years.

2099
01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:51,240
Speaker 6: We saw this Rose Bowl in twenty sixteen, it was

2100
01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:53,559
Speaker 6: the Sam Darnold Saquon Barkley Rose Bowl.

2101
01:47:54,280 --> 01:47:55,679
Speaker 1: USC won a high scoring game.

2102
01:47:55,680 --> 01:47:57,680
Speaker 6: How about this, Thirty five players in that game got

2103
01:47:57,680 --> 01:47:59,639
Speaker 6: at least one snap in an NFL game. I mean,

2104
01:48:00,080 --> 01:48:03,280
Speaker 6: these two programs tend to get that high level talent.

2105
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:05,040
Speaker 6: I don't think USC is quite there this year in

2106
01:48:05,080 --> 01:48:07,639
Speaker 6: Penn State, I would say is not as high level

2107
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:10,559
Speaker 6: the talent as we've seen in prior years. But Lincoln

2108
01:48:10,600 --> 01:48:13,559
Speaker 6: Riley hasn't done good against top five teams. He's lost

2109
01:48:13,560 --> 01:48:16,000
Speaker 6: four straight and he's allowed forty.

2110
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:18,200
Speaker 1: Five or more points in all four of those games.

2111
01:48:18,240 --> 01:48:22,120
Speaker 6: So how can USC's defense, which is improved this year.

2112
01:48:22,240 --> 01:48:23,200
Speaker 1: I give them credit.

2113
01:48:23,280 --> 01:48:27,200
Speaker 6: They're averaging sixteen point seven points per game, less than

2114
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:30,400
Speaker 6: last year, one hundred yards per game allowed less than

2115
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:34,760
Speaker 6: last year. But the entire fricking stadium New Minnesota was

2116
01:48:34,800 --> 01:48:37,320
Speaker 6: running it last week. Still couldn't stop it in the

2117
01:48:37,320 --> 01:48:39,479
Speaker 6: fourth quarter to get off the field and get Miller

2118
01:48:39,520 --> 01:48:41,800
Speaker 6: Moss a chance to win that game. I don't want

2119
01:48:41,800 --> 01:48:44,280
Speaker 6: to indict that USC offense for the performance last week.

2120
01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:47,920
Speaker 6: Really bad weather at the Gold at whatever Dome, whatever

2121
01:48:48,040 --> 01:48:51,000
Speaker 6: stadium they play in Minneapolis was really bad weather, windy.

2122
01:48:51,439 --> 01:48:55,000
Speaker 6: They'll get better weather today at the Coliseum. But this

2123
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:57,840
Speaker 6: USC offensive line's not good. The left tackle combo of

2124
01:48:57,880 --> 01:49:01,120
Speaker 6: Page and Murphy allowed ten pressures and threequarterback.

2125
01:49:00,439 --> 01:49:01,240
Speaker 1: Hits last week.

2126
01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:03,280
Speaker 6: I mean, the Penn State d line is better than

2127
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:07,519
Speaker 6: Minnesota's d line. So can they get pressure and can

2128
01:49:07,560 --> 01:49:11,280
Speaker 6: those three receivers like USC has three studs, branch, Lane

2129
01:49:11,320 --> 01:49:14,320
Speaker 6: and Hudson. Those guys are better than anyone's. Penn State

2130
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:16,920
Speaker 6: Seene all year. If Miller Moss has time and the

2131
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:19,560
Speaker 6: old line holds up, those three guys scare me. I

2132
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:21,719
Speaker 6: think that's why the sharp moneys come in on USC,

2133
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:26,559
Speaker 6: because the Penn State defense is not as elite as

2134
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:29,200
Speaker 6: it's been in years past. It's good, it's not great,

2135
01:49:29,720 --> 01:49:31,280
Speaker 6: And I think that's the path for USC.

2136
01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:34,280
Speaker 1: There's a clear path protect and then you've got an

2137
01:49:34,360 --> 01:49:37,320
Speaker 1: edge on the outside with those three weapons. By the way,

2138
01:49:37,400 --> 01:49:38,799
Speaker 1: and that was a good breakdown.

2139
01:49:38,800 --> 01:49:39,200
Speaker 3: I like that.

2140
01:49:39,840 --> 01:49:44,960
Speaker 4: Do you get Colorado vibes with USC?

2141
01:49:45,240 --> 01:49:48,680
Speaker 1: Meaning? Colorado's defense is better.

2142
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:53,160
Speaker 4: This year than last year? They were freaking awful last year.

2143
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:56,800
Speaker 4: USC's defense is better this year than last year. They

2144
01:49:56,800 --> 01:50:01,200
Speaker 4: were freaking awful last year. But how good is each defense?

2145
01:50:01,320 --> 01:50:05,040
Speaker 4: USC and Colorado? Is this like an MLS ratings trick?

2146
01:50:05,680 --> 01:50:05,880
Speaker 3: Right?

2147
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:08,040
Speaker 4: You think about Major League Soccer and they're like, our

2148
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:11,160
Speaker 4: ratings are up like ten percent, and it's like, well great,

2149
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:13,320
Speaker 4: your ratings were in the toilet last year, so they're

2150
01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 4: barely out of the toilet now they still suck, right, Like,

2151
01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:19,439
Speaker 4: are you getting those vibes with Colorado and USC's defense

2152
01:50:19,479 --> 01:50:21,800
Speaker 4: where yeah, it's better, but is it good?

2153
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:26,320
Speaker 1: I would say no, Well, here's what's better. They're coaching

2154
01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:26,800
Speaker 1: is better.

2155
01:50:27,320 --> 01:50:29,640
Speaker 6: So they brought over Eric Henderson from the Rams. He

2156
01:50:29,720 --> 01:50:32,280
Speaker 6: coached Aaron Donald. They brought over the assistant DC from

2157
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:34,759
Speaker 6: North Dakota State, Matt ense He. You know, the Bison

2158
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:36,519
Speaker 6: had a really good defense for a number of years

2159
01:50:36,520 --> 01:50:37,920
Speaker 6: in the FCS.

2160
01:50:37,640 --> 01:50:38,519
Speaker 1: And Danton Lynn.

2161
01:50:38,680 --> 01:50:42,200
Speaker 6: The new DC is again a step up, not really

2162
01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:46,000
Speaker 6: step up from from what with Alex Grinch last year,

2163
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:49,240
Speaker 6: but still a step up. There's adults in the room

2164
01:50:49,439 --> 01:50:53,280
Speaker 6: that can actually coach, and I think that's why they're better.

2165
01:50:53,600 --> 01:50:58,120
Speaker 6: They're not talent wise light years better, but their scheme

2166
01:50:58,240 --> 01:51:01,880
Speaker 6: is better. But but it kind of showed last week.

2167
01:51:01,920 --> 01:51:03,839
Speaker 6: You can have the best scheme in the world. Everybody

2168
01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:05,759
Speaker 6: knew they were running it last week. They still couldn't

2169
01:51:05,760 --> 01:51:09,000
Speaker 6: stop it against Minnesota. Yeah, that's the part that scares

2170
01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:12,280
Speaker 6: me is that if Penn State does bow up and

2171
01:51:12,400 --> 01:51:16,760
Speaker 6: protect and defend the line of scrimmage, that's where Penn

2172
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:18,760
Speaker 6: State adds the edge in this game. USC's got the

2173
01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:21,480
Speaker 6: speed edge, They've got the athleticism edge on the outside.

2174
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:24,600
Speaker 1: Penn State's got the edge in the trenches. What a

2175
01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:27,280
Speaker 1: day for matchups, right, really good day.

2176
01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:30,080
Speaker 6: Man, the best day of the regular season by far,

2177
01:51:30,240 --> 01:51:31,080
Speaker 6: not even close.

2178
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and listen, I hope the games live up to

2179
01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:37,679
Speaker 4: the that's really because last week we had a lack

2180
01:51:37,720 --> 01:51:42,160
Speaker 4: of matchups. The one ranked versus ranked was Missouri and Texas.

2181
01:51:41,880 --> 01:51:42,280
Speaker 1: A and M.

2182
01:51:42,320 --> 01:51:47,799
Speaker 6: Because dog game was over started, Missouri got off the bus.

2183
01:51:47,960 --> 01:51:53,360
Speaker 4: But these afterthought type games, Vanderbilt hosting Alabama, they turned

2184
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:57,400
Speaker 4: out to be classics. So I hope, like the marquee matchups,

2185
01:51:57,439 --> 01:51:58,200
Speaker 4: I hope they.

2186
01:51:58,080 --> 01:52:01,160
Speaker 1: Live up to that. Right where these are close games,

2187
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:04,759
Speaker 1: I think I hope they will. Man and I think there's.

2188
01:52:04,600 --> 01:52:07,160
Speaker 6: Gonna be at least one double digit dog that wins

2189
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:10,759
Speaker 6: out right today, I got my eyes on Florida. Look out, Tennessee.

2190
01:52:10,840 --> 01:52:14,000
Speaker 6: You can't lose this game, Tennessee. Yeah, you lose this game,

2191
01:52:14,040 --> 01:52:17,240
Speaker 6: it's over. Well, there are so many chances with double

2192
01:52:17,280 --> 01:52:17,960
Speaker 6: digit dogs.

2193
01:52:18,040 --> 01:52:21,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree. If someone's gonna win, someone's losing it.

2194
01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:24,759
Speaker 1: I have a hard time seeing Oklahoma winning.

2195
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:28,479
Speaker 6: Oklahoma's not winning today, Sorry Red River fans. That game

2196
01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:30,439
Speaker 6: could be forty nine to nothing against Texas.

2197
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:32,360
Speaker 4: It could be, it could be all right, it's the

2198
01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:36,080
Speaker 4: moment of truth. Are rapid fire selections?

2199
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:37,240
Speaker 1: Huh?

2200
01:52:37,280 --> 01:52:39,559
Speaker 4: Are either one of us is gonna throw in Texas

2201
01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:41,000
Speaker 4: there right or.

2202
01:52:40,960 --> 01:52:42,479
Speaker 6: You gotta pull my head from out And I took

2203
01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:44,679
Speaker 6: us with these bets. I've had the worst, like four

2204
01:52:44,680 --> 01:52:46,679
Speaker 6: weeks stretch I've ever had in this show in two

2205
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:47,360
Speaker 6: and a half years.

2206
01:52:48,240 --> 01:52:50,439
Speaker 4: And it happens to be at like the beginning of

2207
01:52:50,479 --> 01:52:52,400
Speaker 4: the whole thing. And you know what I mean, It

2208
01:52:52,439 --> 01:52:56,600
Speaker 4: couldn't be from weeks six through nine or something, you

2209
01:52:56,640 --> 01:52:58,400
Speaker 4: know what I mean, It's at the beginning. So it's like,

2210
01:52:58,479 --> 01:52:59,200
Speaker 4: oh my god.

2211
01:52:59,400 --> 01:53:02,000
Speaker 6: People out there who are questioning if I've ever made

2212
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:04,120
Speaker 6: a college football bet in my life based on how

2213

Speaker 6: the picks have gone the last four weeks.

2214

2234
01:54:17,880 --> 01:54:21,920
Speaker 4: Elijah in with us again this weekend fun stuff. Top

2235
01:54:21,960 --> 01:54:26,200
Speaker 4: of the hour up on game. We got Jonas Knox

2236
01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:29,320
Speaker 4: out of the bullpen over here. We got it from

2237
01:54:29,360 --> 01:54:31,639
Speaker 4: salam out of the bullpen.

2238
01:54:31,720 --> 01:54:31,840
Speaker 3: Here.

2239
01:54:31,840 --> 01:54:35,400
Speaker 1: We got Carry Rhodes out of the bullpen. How about that?

2240
01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:38,280
Speaker 1: We got a lineup actually for a bullpen. That's right.

2241
01:54:38,520 --> 01:54:40,640
Speaker 1: The backups are even better than the starters sometimes.

2242
01:54:40,680 --> 01:54:43,480
Speaker 4: Here fucking you had a bullpen game with the Dodgers

2243
01:54:43,520 --> 01:54:45,520
Speaker 4: the other day and they got it done right.

2244
01:54:45,600 --> 01:54:47,440
Speaker 1: They won the game. So I think he's going to

2245
01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:50,520
Speaker 1: I hope you like donuts there in San Diego. Yeah,

2246
01:54:50,520 --> 01:54:51,640
Speaker 1: So that's at the top of the hour.

2247
01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:55,560
Speaker 4: Ten minutes from now up on game with Knocks, Salaam

2248
01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:58,560
Speaker 4: and roads. All great, dudes, all right, we got some

2249
01:54:58,600 --> 01:54:59,880
Speaker 4: picks to make. Let's do it.

2250
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:03,640
Speaker 1: Rapid fire.

2251
01:55:04,680 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 4: Okay, Jared, it's time for you to put the trolls

2252
01:55:08,840 --> 01:55:09,360
Speaker 4: to shame.

2253
01:55:09,880 --> 01:55:12,200
Speaker 1: Shut them up over here. What do you have for us?

2254
01:55:12,280 --> 01:55:14,880
Speaker 6: We are absolutely going three ano this week. We are

2255
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:17,960
Speaker 6: due in the highest sense of the term. All right,

2256
01:55:18,000 --> 01:55:20,200
Speaker 6: I am laying it with Ohio State. The bet MGM

2257
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:24,040
Speaker 6: number is three and a half plus one hundred even odds.

2258
01:55:24,400 --> 01:55:26,600
Speaker 6: I think that's a fair number. If you shop around

2259
01:55:26,640 --> 01:55:28,600
Speaker 6: you can find three. But for the purposes of this show,

2260
01:55:28,600 --> 01:55:31,760
Speaker 6: we're a bet MGM show. Ohio State minus three and

2261
01:55:31,760 --> 01:55:34,920
Speaker 6: a half. I think they've got the edge offensively, especially

2262
01:55:34,960 --> 01:55:39,120
Speaker 6: the offensive skill position guys against an Oregon defense that Hey,

2263
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:42,280
Speaker 6: if Aash and genty can run wild, why can't Henderson

2264
01:55:42,320 --> 01:55:45,440
Speaker 6: and Judkins run wild? And the big news Birch the

2265
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:48,120
Speaker 6: defensive end tweak something in practice this week.

2266
01:55:48,160 --> 01:55:50,120
Speaker 1: That's a huge loss for Oregon's defense.

2267
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:53,120
Speaker 6: I think Ohio State Chip Kelly homecoming takes advantage. Give

2268
01:55:53,160 --> 01:55:56,240
Speaker 6: me the buck guys big in Eugene. I'm taking the

2269
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:58,920
Speaker 6: points with Colorado plus three and a half home dog

2270
01:55:58,960 --> 01:56:02,400
Speaker 6: against Kansas State. Balanced offense for Colorado this year. They

2271
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:05,600
Speaker 6: actually run it better success rate success rate wise, and

2272
01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:09,080
Speaker 6: then they do pass it. And their defense has not

2273
01:56:09,160 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 6: really played a whole lot of tough competition, but they

2274
01:56:12,320 --> 01:56:15,280
Speaker 6: have held opposing runners and receivers in check. They have

2275
01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:18,320
Speaker 6: yet to allow one hundred yard rusher or receiver this season,

2276
01:56:18,360 --> 01:56:20,760
Speaker 6: something they did eleven out of twelve games last year.

2277
01:56:20,760 --> 01:56:22,280
Speaker 6: So I'll take Colorado plus three and a half agains

2278
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:25,160
Speaker 6: Kansas State. Finally, UCLA's getting their first Big Ten win

2279
01:56:25,200 --> 01:56:27,560
Speaker 6: today at home against Minnesota at the Rose Bowl. Those

2280
01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:30,480
Speaker 6: Big ten road teams don't like traveling multiple time zones.

2281
01:56:30,560 --> 01:56:33,400
Speaker 6: Just one and eight straight up. And how about the

2282
01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:38,240
Speaker 6: UCLA young quarterback Justin Martin. Just one turnover worthy play

2283
01:56:38,320 --> 01:56:41,920
Speaker 6: last week in Happy Valley. UCLA covered in Happy Valley

2284
01:56:42,000 --> 01:56:43,400
Speaker 6: last week. I think they cover.

2285
01:56:43,280 --> 01:56:47,400
Speaker 1: At home today. Give me the Bruins plus four against Minnesota. Okay,

2286
01:56:47,600 --> 01:56:50,160
Speaker 1: plus four against the Golden Gophers.

2287
01:56:50,560 --> 01:56:53,000
Speaker 4: No row in the boat today's which is no okay,

2288
01:56:53,480 --> 01:56:57,240
Speaker 4: let down after the USC win. All right, So Rich's picks,

2289
01:56:57,280 --> 01:57:00,000
Speaker 4: who again is in route to call the San Diego

2290
01:57:00,160 --> 01:57:03,920
Speaker 4: State football game. Here, he's got Alabama minus twenty one

2291
01:57:03,960 --> 01:57:08,280
Speaker 4: and a half against South Carolina, rebounding from the Vandy loss.

2292
01:57:08,320 --> 01:57:11,880
Speaker 1: Okay, I like it. It's got some points with your boys.

2293
01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:15,560
Speaker 4: Penn State against USC he's taken over fifty.

2294
01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:17,800
Speaker 1: And a half. I like that too in that game and.

2295
01:57:17,760 --> 01:57:22,800
Speaker 4: Then also Minnesota UCLA. Very slow tempos from each team.

2296
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:24,320
Speaker 4: He's going under thirty.

2297
01:57:24,080 --> 01:57:25,680
Speaker 1: Nine and a half, dogging under.

2298
01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:28,560
Speaker 4: That's what we like there, you go, Okay, So my

2299
01:57:28,680 --> 01:57:35,000
Speaker 4: pick's here, Jared, I'm going to fade the darlings of

2300
01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:39,200
Speaker 4: last week Vanderbilt. Gimme Kentucky minus twelve and a half.

2301
01:57:39,560 --> 01:57:42,040
Speaker 4: They have a real defense. I don't love their offense

2302
01:57:42,200 --> 01:57:45,720
Speaker 4: at all. Okay, So that's a scary number to cover,

2303
01:57:45,800 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 4: but it's been a consistent trend throughout the season. These

2304
01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:53,080
Speaker 4: teams riding an emotional high, they are just freaking flat.

2305
01:57:54,160 --> 01:57:56,160
Speaker 4: So on the road against Kentucky, I think it's a

2306
01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:57,160
Speaker 4: tough spot for Bandy.

2307
01:57:57,160 --> 01:57:58,360
Speaker 1: I'll lay the twelve and a half.

2308
01:57:58,920 --> 01:58:03,120
Speaker 4: Give me Lsu that Valley baby plus three and a

2309
01:58:03,160 --> 01:58:06,760
Speaker 4: half against Ole Miss Trey Harris upgraded to probable. But

2310
01:58:07,160 --> 01:58:10,440
Speaker 4: like you said, Jared, not one hundred percent. He really

2311
01:58:10,480 --> 01:58:14,520
Speaker 4: makes that offense go. So I'm gonna take LSU, who

2312
01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:17,040
Speaker 4: I think is gonna gain a lot of yards, score

2313
01:58:17,080 --> 01:58:18,960
Speaker 4: a decent amount of points. I think they keep it

2314
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:21,640
Speaker 4: close enough. I think they challenged a win at home outright.

2315
01:58:21,680 --> 01:58:24,240
Speaker 4: Give me LSU plus the three and a hook and

2316
01:58:24,360 --> 01:58:27,760
Speaker 4: this one. I think this is a stinky line alert.

2317
01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:32,960
Speaker 4: So I'm going with Wyoming minus one against San Diego State.

2318
01:58:33,120 --> 01:58:36,480
Speaker 4: This will please rich Ornberger, this will please e from

2319
01:58:36,520 --> 01:58:39,440
Speaker 4: Salam who went there. You know who's in the studio

2320
01:58:39,520 --> 01:58:41,320
Speaker 4: getting ready for the show at the top of the hour.

2321
01:58:41,720 --> 01:58:43,640
Speaker 1: So I'm getting the worst of the line.

2322
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:47,200
Speaker 4: It's moved from San Diego State over to Wyoming. So

2323
01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:50,720
Speaker 4: I have a one win team in Wyoming who's favored

2324
01:58:50,760 --> 01:58:53,400
Speaker 4: by one think city left and right.

2325
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm signing up for all of it.

2326
01:58:55,400 --> 01:58:59,000
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, closing line value in college football has

2327
01:58:59,160 --> 01:59:00,760
Speaker 4: not been great this season.

2328
01:59:01,120 --> 01:59:03,720
Speaker 1: So even though I'm getting none of it, I'll roll

2329
01:59:03,720 --> 01:59:07,880
Speaker 1: with it. Jared, give me the couch. I love that play.

2330
01:59:08,160 --> 01:59:12,520
Speaker 1: Oh stink City, baby, enjoy the games. We'll catch it soon.
