25
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 3: shepherding their children around when you were a kid, what

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 3: they were talking to each other was the World Series score.

27
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 3: What they really wanted to do was get back home

28
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: in front of a television that was that was some

29
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:45,440

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: What did your kids dress up as?

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,919
Speaker 3: We had? We had a mutated fly wearing a lab

32
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: coat and then a police officer. So all right, yeah

33
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 3: we have we have one more eccentric one and we

34
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,200

35
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, sure, yeah, like like the uh the old

36
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 4: school like chips sunglasses type thing.

37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: Is that what they went with?

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? Actually the uh, the the one who went as

39
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 3: the the police. He dressed up in full tactical gear.

40
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 3: He looked like a like swat team. It was very

41
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 3: very fun, very nice.

42
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, Jared, Halloween, good for you.

43
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 5: Yeah it was good, Jackpot, Uh you know, scared away

44
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 5: all the trigger treaders. Oh, I'm just kidding.

45
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 3: It was.

46
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,920
Speaker 5: It was a relaxing night. Actually, I didn't get as

47
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 5: many as I expect, so I just moved into a

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 5: new house in Summerlin. So I was curious if it

49
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 5: was gonna be a you know a lot of kids

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 5: running around, but it was only you know, a couple

51
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 5: of a couple of couple of us stray knocks on

52
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 5: the door. But it was a good night. I mean, honestly,

53
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 5: the uh, the Dodgers game kept me occupied.

54
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 4: It was I feel like he gave away full sized

55
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: three Musketeers bars.

56
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: Right, you got it.

57
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 5: I gave away protein bars. That's I gave away protein bars.

58
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 5: The you know, I'd like.

59
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 4: To start on a positive foot, but I have to

60
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 4: be critical here to start the show, all right, I

61
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 4: would just like to say shame, you know, like Game

62
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: of Throne. Shame, shame on Kevin Burkhardt. Yeah, so the

63
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 4: Fox Sports broadcaster does a phenomenal job. He was wrapping

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 4: up the postgame coverage on Fox Sports after the Dodgers

65
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 4: won Game six, they beat the Blue Jays three to one,

66
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 4: and he said, what's bigger than Game seven? And I'm

67
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: staring at my TV like this freaking guy called super

68
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 4: Bowls and he's saying, what are we doing here?

69
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: Like we've been on this for how long? Now, you know?

70
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 4: And it's it's more of a fun thing than anything.

71
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 4: But I tell you, the the two second greatest words

72
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 4: in sports are Game seven the two best words in

73
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: sports that would be super Bowl.

74
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 5: I have a buttle to this extually. I was doing

75
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 5: some math last night and it's it's not You're not

76
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 5: wrong on the premise, but I think the World Series

77
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 5: is different. And here's why. These two teams. If you

78
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 5: combine the amount of games that they've played this year,

79
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 5: the Dodgers tonight will play game number one seventy nine

80
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 5: and Toronto will play game number one eighty if you

81
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 5: include the regular season, So that's three hundred and fifty

82
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 5: nine combined games that the teams will have played this year,

83
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 5: and the championship will come down to a single game.

84
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 5: If you divide that by the amount of games in

85
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 5: an NFL season, let's say seventeen game regular season, three

86
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 5: games in the playoffs, it's essentially eighteen seasons of NFL games.

87
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 5: So you have to ask yourself, Brian, is this better

88
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 5: Game seven of the World Series? Better than eighteen Super Bowls?

89
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: Oh?

90
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: That's bad math, right there, I got it's math.

91
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 5: It's science, you cann it's that horrible math.

92
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 4: You can't listen. It's one hundred and sixty two game

93
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 4: regular season compared to seventeen there's no comparison.

94
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: I got math for you right here.

95
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 4: You could combined every game seven from baseball from basketball.

96
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: And you know me, I love the NBA.

97
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 4: You can combine every game seven in a given year

98
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: with NBA. Oh we got a we got a game

99
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 4: seven in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, all right, Great throw

100
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: that in the gumbo.

101
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: Hey, we get a game seven World Series?

102
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 5: All right?

103
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: Great throw that in the gumbo too. Hey we got a.

104
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: Game seven Nlcyes, Great throw it. You could throw all

105
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: that in and it's not gonna come close to equaling

106
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 4: the ratings of one Super Bowl, not even close. Like

107
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 4: this game, it's a mammoth game. I'm not trying to

108
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 4: undercut it. But Blue Jays Dodgers Game seven. You think

109
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 4: it's gonna draw one hundred and twenty million dollars? Not

110
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: even close? Like it's not the event, it's not the magnitude,

111
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 4: it's not even freaking close.

112
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 3: What's so crazy is we talk so much in baseball

113
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: about how important certain matchups are in the postseason, right,

114
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: like a regionally that's gonna have some interest, but nationally nah,

115
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: you know you hear the same thing in the NBA,

116
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 3: Like who Okay season the finals, it's gonna hurt because

117
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 3: how many Okaysee fans are there, you know, Like it's

118
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: when it comes to the Super Bowl. It could be

119
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: I mean, it could be Tampa Bay taking on the

120
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 3: Colts and people would be fired up, you know what

121
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 3: I mean. Like if you think about how tiny the

122
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 3: market of Green Bay, Wisconsin is, if Green Bay was

123
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: in taking on you know, you name it the Jackass.

124
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 5: Another relatively small market.

125
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I'm saying even smaller, Like like like, think

126
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 3: of the smallest afecy Is it the Jaguars? I don't know,

127
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 3: but think of like one of the smaller AFC.

128
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 5: Market Kansas City actually ironically.

129
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 3: Not, Yeah, right, well, and that's one of them, that's

130
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 3: for sure. Like who really cares? And this is no

131
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 3: offense to the great folks in Missouri. Who really cares

132
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: nationally about what's happening in Kansas City? The answer is

133
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: no one really except for people from Missouri or Kansas.

134
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: I guess, you know, maybe there's something that crosses the

135
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 3: border in terms of interest, but like nobody really cares

136
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 3: but the chiefs. How many Patrick Mahomes Jerseys do I

137
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 3: see living on the West coast? The answer is a lot,

138
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 3: a lot, and that's the difference between the NFL. To

139
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 3: support Brian's point, I get what you're saying, Jared, and

140
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: I do agree. The toil of a baseball season, the

141
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: culmination of mounting all of that effort and distilling it

142
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: down to one nine inning performance, Holy cow. I mean,

143
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: there is something truly as a sports and that's impactful

144
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 3: about delaying the gratification through three hundred and sixty plus

145
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: games all the way to this final moment. That's crazy.

146
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 3: But the Super Bowl even still, if it's Jags Green

147
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: Bay or if it's Colts Tampa, there's gonna be sixty

148
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: million people in their seats turning on the television screen.

149
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 5: And for the record, I agree with Brian the best

150
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 5: two words in sports are super Bowl. But World Series

151
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 5: Game seven does come really like because of all of

152
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 5: that volume that we talk about. It's it's right there.

153
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 5: But the ratings, I mean, the ratings are going to

154
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 5: be the ratings. Obviously, a Super Bowl is going to

155
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 5: absolutely destroy the television ratings of a World Series Game seven.

156
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 5: But there is something really special about a World SEO.

157
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 5: This is what makes baseball so unique, and it's frankly

158
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 5: you know, a brutal regular season, I mean, it just is.

159
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 5: But then you compile all of these games and you

160
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 5: realize that these teams have now battled again three hundred

161
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,959
Speaker 5: Tonight will be the three hundred and fifty ninth combined

162
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 5: game for the Blue Jays and the Dodgers, all of that,

163
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 5: and the champion will come down to a single, nine

164
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,079
Speaker 5: inning game. Like it really is a remarkable sport in

165
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 5: that capacity.

166
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: Noah, no doubt about it.

167
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 4: And look, man, it's like the championship round of a

168
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 4: prize fight. You know, think of the biggest fight you

169
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 4: can imagine, and somehow it's tied heading into the final round.

170
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 4: Like that's literally what you get tonight in Game seven

171
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 4: of the World Series. And it's been a really good series.

172
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 4: You look at last night's game, it's three to one

173
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 4: pretty early in the game, and that's it. That's that's

174
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 4: the end of the scoring, you know, the defensive masterpiece

175
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: from that point on. How about the Blue Jays runners

176
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 4: on second and third with nobody out ye ninth inning

177
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 4: and they didn't score a run, not even we had

178
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 4: the blue Jays.

179
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 5: On the run line plus one and a half.

180
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: Oh, that's disgusting.

181
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 4: Double Yeah, it gets wedged in the right there. That's brutal.

182
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 5: Yeah. Is that the most impactful wedgie in the history

183
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 5: of baseball? I mean, if that ball bounces anywhere else,

184
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 5: is it runner on third, tying runner and third, nobody out?

185
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

186
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, have been Yeah, and they didn't get one run.

187
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: It's crazy that the double play at the end. It's

188
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 4: funny because I I was running to the store to

189
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 4: get something. I was getting a little rotisserie chicken, if

190
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 4: you must know. But I was I had the game

191
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 4: on my phone and uh, it was the like the

192
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 4: game day, you know is the and it just said

193
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 4: double play And I'm like, that kind of weird double

194
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 4: play with runners on second and third.

195
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: And I made it back to.

196
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 4: See it, right, but uh, and that's the most unconventional

197
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 4: double play you're gonna see. There's a line out to

198
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 4: left field, Key k Hernandez is running in. He makes

199
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 4: the catch and Barger, I don't know what happened.

200
00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 3: What is he doing?

201
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 4: And he gets doubled up at second base. Was trying

202
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 4: to score on a bloop, you know, I get it,

203
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 4: but you cannot get doubled up to end the game.

204
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 4: You got two runners in scoring position.

205
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: What are you doing?

206
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 5: Who's winning? I know we're not going to do a

207
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 5: big you know, preview on it, but you know we

208
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,439
Speaker 5: can give you some early picks here. Do you think

209
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 5: Dodgers wol take it home? They're gonna be.

210
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so hard.

211
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 5: I mean yeah, I think either the Dodgers are winning,

212
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 5: I really do.

213
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm checking the betting line real quick.

214
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 5: It's like it's like a dollar forty favorite. I think

215
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 5: somewhere in that range, dollar thirty five, somewhere in that range.

216
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, dollar forty man, Max Scherzer.

217
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 5: That just didn't even look right.

218
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 3: No, I.

219
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,079
Speaker 5: Think the last night was the blue Jays chance. I

220
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 5: think Game seven, I think Dodgers will.

221
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: Which do you like better?

222
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 4: You like the Dodgers to win outright minus a dollar

223
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 4: forty or do you like the blue Jays on the

224
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 4: run line plus one and a half at minus a

225
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 4: dollar fifty.

226
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 6: No.

227
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 5: I can't do that, not after last night. I can't

228
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 5: take I can't.

229
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 4: Take back to the eighteen inning game and it's like,

230
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 4: oh man, it's sofating for the Blue Jays and then

231
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 4: they came and smacked them the next one.

232
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 5: What are the Dodgers on the first five with Otawny.

233
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 5: I think I think that's a decent bet, right, you

234
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 5: would think that they're gonna be even at least right like, well.

235
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 1: No Dodgers minus a dollar fifty five.

236
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 5: Like I think I'd be willing to lay the extra

237
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 5: fifteen cents and take Otani over Shuzer. That feels like

238
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 5: a really safe bet in the pitching world.

239
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: Man, I don't know, I don't know how long.

240
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 4: I mean, Sures is gonna get yanked the first sign

241
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: of trouble probably oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

242
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 3: Man. I mean it's hard to repeat though, Like you know,

243
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 3: if we just think about statistically and you just zoom

244
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: out for a second, you forget the matchup. But like,

245
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 3: how how many repeat champions do.

246
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 5: We have happened since the Yanks?

247
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 4: That would be a good thing to get the you know,

248
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 4: the baseball hanks that try to preach like MLB has

249
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 4: like NFL style parody.

250
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: It's so stupid.

251
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 4: But they'll point to it's like, well, how many repeat

252
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 4: champions in baseball?

253
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 6: Huh?

254
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: How many?

255
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 4: It's a legit argument to make, but we all know

256
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 4: that MLB does not have even close to the parody

257
00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 4: that the NFL.

258
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: Can we agree on that. Are we on the same

259
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 1: page when it comes to that.

260
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, the good teams tend to win, but it

261
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 5: is it's really hard to repeat because of how long

262
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 5: the season is. It's just something goes wrong for most

263
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 5: of these teams at some point.

264
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 4: By the way, before we get it right back to

265
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: the college football previews, shout out to you.

266
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: Rich Hornberger, you were right.

267
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,319
Speaker 3: You're right.

268
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,959
Speaker 4: Last week we're previewing the LSU game and I'm like,

269
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 4: it's Brian Kelly really coaching for his job. That's exactly

270
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 4: what he was doing. God man, I fired audios no more.

271
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 4: Brian Kelly at LSU buyouts around fifty four million dollars.

272
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 4: And my favorite note of the week there, their athletic

273
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 4: director has gone as well. The interim ad at LSU

274
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,079
Speaker 4: is a guy named verge Ousbury.

275
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: I don't know why that's so funny to me.

276
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 4: That sounds like a guy who is destined to be

277
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 4: a governor and ad something to the verge Ausbury. He's

278
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 4: the guy calling the shots right now on an interim basis.

279
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the Louisiana state governor stepping in and saying, like,

280
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 3: what a mess that the misappropriation of funds hiring these

281
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 3: awful coaches. I'm taking over the You're gonna have the

282
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: council members takeover like it's really yeah, you know, just

283
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 3: to go back to rewind to last week when you

284
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: asked that question, In my mind, it was a no brainer,

285
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 3: because college football, this season, especially but very recently, has

286
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: become so what have you done for me? Lately? It's

287
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 3: mimicking the NFL in the sense that we're gonna see

288
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 3: more turnover now at head coaching positions than we ever

289
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: have in the history of the sport. And in fact,

290
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: I think these contracts are going to start to reflect that.

291
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: I think a lot of these universities aren't going to

292
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: sign up for these enormous buyouts. What you're going to

293
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 3: see is a ballooning of the monies that these coaches

294
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: are going to make over the length of their contracts,

295
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 3: maybe longer term contracts that might be front loaded, and

296
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 3: then the salary's tail off on the back end, similar

297
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 3: to like quarterback contracts in the NFL. Because universities aren't

298
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 3: interested in paying these enormous buyouts, they'd almost prefer pay

299
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 3: it up front. And so that's what I think we're

300
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 3: gonna start seeing in college football. It's gonna mimic more

301
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: of the NFL setup.

302
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 5: College football right now is the love child of ballers

303
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 5: and billions period end of story. One hundred and seventy

304
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 5: million in buyouts if you count Kelly and Franklin and

305
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 5: Napier and then there's a few other smaller ones that

306
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 5: you trickle down the list. I mean, it's insane.

307
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: It really is.

308
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 5: Pretty soon, right, we got private capital money coming into

309
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 5: college football. If there's any more of these buyouts, it's

310
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 5: gonna be a government bailout. There going to be asking

311
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 5: for soon. I mean, it's it's it's it's an insane

312
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 5: amount of money that is just being thrown at debt

313
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 5: right called talk dead cat money, dead coach money. Like

314
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 5: it's it's remarkable. Yeah, we it does feel like this

315
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 5: is a turning point year because of the name. I mean,

316
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 5: you have two coaches that are a fifty million You

317
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 5: have to one hundred million with two coaches. It's it's

318
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 5: it's really it's it's aggressive and it's too much. And

319
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 5: I think at some point this year being the year,

320
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 5: right you reach the breaking point. The LSU situation is

321
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 5: really remarkable though, because of the ad You rarely see

322
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 5: the ad and the head coach fired like it's like

323
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 5: a it's like a GM head coach. Very rarely you

324
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 5: see that happen in the same swoop. Usually you see

325
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 5: it happen like what the Dolphins did. Right, You do

326
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 5: one and then you'll do another one later. You rarely

327
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 5: see both of them the same week like that. That

328
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 5: is all right, something's wrong behind the scenes. There is

329
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 5: a fundamental issue with how LSU brings in these coaches,

330
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 5: hires them, structures the contracts, and it's a fundamental change.

331
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be, as you mentioned, Rich

332
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 5: and I agree, a fundamental change across the entire sport.

333
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 4: You know what's funny is it just popped into my head.

334
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 4: Remember when the NFL, I think it was the owners

335
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 4: meetings around when Deshaun Watson got his mega deal with

336
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 4: the Browns and contraclusion, right, yeah, the collusion case. The

337
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 4: NFL was giving a presentation like you know, like slides, guys,

338
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 4: you really don't want to give fully guaranteed contracts.

339
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:33,879
Speaker 1: This could be a whole problem.

340
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 4: And they put the kebash to that that was no

341
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 4: longer like the going rate, and you would think that

342
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,880
Speaker 4: would have happened in college football at some point right

343
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 4: where these schools would say, yeah, we need this head coach.

344
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 4: But look, man, we're not going to have a buyout.

345
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 4: That's that huge, that's just crazy, right. But these agents

346
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 4: are like, hey, if you want this guy, that's the

347
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 4: going rate.

348
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: And it's never changed.

349
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 4: It hasn't gone the other way where it's a modest

350
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 4: buyout for a.

351
00:17:58,840 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: Big name coach.

352
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 4: And I'll tell you what, but the coaching carousel this

353
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 4: offseason is going to be really really interesting because there

354
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 4: are some huge elite job openings and there's a lack

355
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: of like huge elite coaching candidates to take over those jobs. So, man,

356
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 4: the musical chairs, it's gonna be really really interesting this

357
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 4: offseason in college.

358
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 5: Do predictions like we do rapid fire, We should, you know,

359
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 5: go through all the programs and see who's man.

360
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:25,919
Speaker 1: That'd be funny.

361
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 4: That's why I'm worried about my guy, Marcus Freeman. You know,

362
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 4: like he's a big name at Notre Dame.

363
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 5: I think he's staying.

364
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 4: I hope he's staying, man. But that's what makes me

365
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,200
Speaker 4: worry is when you get these power jobs LSU Florida,

366
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 4: like the Penn State.

367
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 1: The list goes on and on.

368
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,360
Speaker 5: It's like, Wow, I think I know who Penn State.

369
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 5: I have a list of three guys for Penn State.

370
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 5: I think I have a list of two guys for LSU.

371
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 5: The rest. I think you're safe on the other ones.

372
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 5: But I don't see Marcus Freeman leaving to take the

373
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 5: Florida job or the Oklahoma State job.

374
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 4: You gonna be hilarious if you left to take the

375
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 4: LSU job.

376
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: That would be now.

377
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 5: If LSU calls, right, I think think there's Honestly, I

378
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 5: think there's four coaches in the country that if LSU calls,

379
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 5: you don't listen. I think Sarks one of them. I

380
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,119
Speaker 5: think the Bore. I think Kirby Smart and Ryan da

381
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 5: I think those are the core four. I think everyone

382
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 5: else has to take the LSU call. Wow, it has

383
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:14,880
Speaker 5: to crazy.

384
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,480

Speaker 4: Georgia favored by seven. Regardless of whatever this. You know,

444
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:01,800

445
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: It's interesting.

446
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 4: Shout out to one of my buddies, Jay from back

447
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 4: Home and back Home again and Indiana. You know I

448
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 4: love the Indy five hundred stuff. But he texted me

449
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 4: the other day and he was like, dude, I gotta

450
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 4: bet Georgia.

451
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

452
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 4: Florida plus two and a half in the first quarter.

453
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: George is getting off to all these slow starts.

454
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:25,479
Speaker 1: You look at.

455
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 4: This been a common trend all year long. Georgia, Like

456
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 4: Tennessee led Georgia by fourteen points in the first quarter,

457
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 4: Auburn Auburn led by ten points in the first quarter,

458
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 4: Bama led by fourteen in the second quarter, Ole misled

459
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 4: by nine points in the third quarter, and Georgia came

460
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 4: back to win all but one of those games like

461
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 4: they come back. But the common trend is starting real

462
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 4: slowly and I'm curious what you guys think. I texted

463
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 4: him back, and I'm like, look, man, it might hit again,

464
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 4: but man, at some point it's gonna change. And Georgia

465
00:22:58,520 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 4: has to be preaching.

466
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 3: Be smart.

467
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 4: It's got to be preaching to his team, like, guys,

468
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 4: we got to start better. It'll be a good spot

469
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 4: to start better against Florida. You know that, like interim

470
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 4: head coach, they might be feeling stuff out and getting

471
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 4: on the same page early on. What do you think

472
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 4: if you had to make a bet, would you go

473
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 4: with Georgia minus two and a half in the first

474
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 4: quarter or Georgia plus.

475
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: Two And how is that?

476
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 4: Georgia minus two and a half or Florida plus two

477
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,680
Speaker 4: and a half in the first quarter. Sorry, it made

478
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 4: that way more difficult than it should have been.

479
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 3: I sided with your buddy, I did. I would take Yeah,

480
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 3: I think I would take Florida plus two and a half.

481
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 4: You gonna put that in rapid fire? Rich huh youna.

482
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: You know what after hearing him talking about it and

483
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: hearing how low the spread is, Honestly, I might because

484
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: it's it's amazing. This this isn't just a twenty twenty

485
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 3: five problem. This followed Mike Bobo from twenty twenty four.

486
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:57,120
Speaker 3: I look, and that's the DNA of certain teams. They

487
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 3: are slow starters, and it's hard to change something unless

488
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 3: you change something. And what I mean by that is

489
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 3: is what is Kirby doing at practice differently? And if

490
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 3: he hasn't changed something major on the practice field, then

491
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 3: you can't expect different results just by saying something to

492
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 3: a team. I remember one time I was talking to

493
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 3: a head coach in college football this couple of years back,

494
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 3: and I was like, man, you know, the turnovers are

495
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 3: down this year, and it's just it's a curious thing.

496
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 3: And I said, how do you fix that? And he goes, well,

497
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 3: you don't. And I'm like, well, well, what do you

498
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 3: mean by that? And he was like, in my opinion,

499
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 3: that's not something you can change. And I thought to myself,

500
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 3: what an interesting thought, Like is that true? And then

501
00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 3: I started thinking about all the drills you could set

502
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: up to try to encourage people to punch a football out,

503
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 3: you know, all the drills that you could do to

504
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 3: sort of you know, dive on a loose ball. You know,

505
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: you know, the sort of practice mentality of all defenders

506
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 3: running to wherever the football is. Like, some of the

507
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 3: things that I saw on film in my brain at

508
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 3: the time were absolutely correctable and could have led to

509
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: more turnovers. And it's but it's hard to convince a

510
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,680
Speaker 3: coach sometimes that, especially when you're having a successful season, Hey,

511
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 3: you got to change something to make this one aspect

512
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 3: of your game better. I think Georgia is just a

513
00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 3: slow starting team, and they have a tremendous run game,

514
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 3: and they have a lot of things you could say

515
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: nice about their defense. They're great tacklers. But but they

516
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,360
Speaker 3: do have their falling down points, and one of their

517
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: falling down points is they get off to a slow

518
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 3: start and then in the second half, Man, they pile

519
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,160
Speaker 3: it on and they have bunches of explosive plays. Offensively,

520
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 3: they have two outstanding running backs, and they really do

521
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 3: obliterate teams in the second half of football games. But

522
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 3: that first quarter spread, I'm taking Florida.

523
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 5: Wow, Yeah, I'll be honest, I'll be very fascinating to

524
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 5: see how Florida comes out here. Right this is we

525
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 5: haven't seen him in two weeks coming off the buy

526
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 5: interim coach Billy Gonzalez, the interim head coach for Florida,

527
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 5: it'll be Russ Calloway, the tight ends coach, getting promoted

528
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 5: to the offensive play caller offensive coordinator role. Calloway is

529
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 5: an interesting guy. He's kind of a Florida lifer. He

530
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 5: actually was originally brought into the program way back in

531
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 5: the Urban Myer days. He was the receivers coach on

532
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 5: those great Tim Tebow teams. Then he went to LSU

533
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 5: for a while, and then when Dan Mullen got the

534
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 5: Florida job in the late twenty teens, he came back

535
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 5: to Florida and he's been there pretty much since then.

536
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 5: So he's kind of a Florida lifer. Very different road

537
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 5: than Billy Napier obviously, who bounced around a lot of

538
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 5: different head coaching jobs and then ascended to that perch,

539
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,240
Speaker 5: whereas Gonzalez has kind of been, you know, in the wings,

540
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 5: in the background of the SEC, in the background of

541
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 5: Florida for a number of years. So it'll be interesting

542
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 5: to see how the team. Anytime you get a coach

543
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 5: that is fired mid season, it is always fascinating to

544
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 5: see how the team responds the week after, or in

545
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,400
Speaker 5: this case, two weeks after the first game after. There's

546
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 5: still a lot of talent on this Florida team. And

547
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 5: that's the interesting part, right, Like this line, if you

548
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 5: would have asked me before the summer, like when the

549
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 5: summer and these lines come out, Georgia was a nine

550
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 5: and a half point favorite in this game. And if

551
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 5: you would have told me all of the tumult that

552
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 5: the Gators have gone through, right, you know, Lagway is hurt,

553
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 5: he doesn't practice a lot in the spring and in

554
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 5: the summer, and then they get to the season and

555
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 5: he's banged up, and you know, Napier can't figure things out,

556
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,479
Speaker 5: and then we get to game day and it's actually

557
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 5: a shorter line. Georgia's look pretty good, Like I know

558
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 5: that again, they've struggled in early games, but they're still

559
00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 5: winning games, and they still look like one of the

560
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 5: best teams in the country, at least in the top five,

561
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 5: top ten. And the line is shorter despite all of

562
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 5: Florida struggles, it's only a seven and a half. It's

563
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 5: even kind of inching towards seven here. So I think

564
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 5: there's a little bit of optimism if you are a

565
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 5: Gators fan, that they might come out with some smoke here.

566
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 5: And I'm very fascinated to see what the vibe is

567
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 5: of this team.

568
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny if you look at a very talented

569
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: team that's lost a bunch of games. There are a

570
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 4: few teams that fall in that category. Florida, to your point,

571
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 4: Jared would be one of them. I'd say South Carolina

572
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 4: is another one in the same conference. I'd say you're

573
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 4: Niitney Lyons or certainly on the list as well. So

574
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 4: some of these teams like they're live dogs with all

575
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,439
Speaker 4: that talent and just you know, sucky results that have

576
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 4: snowballed because of higher expectations, right. That happens all the

577
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 4: time in football. Which Big Twelve matchup are you more

578
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: interested in? Are you more interested in Ranked on ranked?

579
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 4: Which is Cincinnati against Utah? Or would it be Texas

580
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 4: Tech against Kansas State upset minded Kansas State over Which

581
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 4: game is more interesting to you, guys?

582
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: Hmmm?

583
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 3: You know, Cincinnati just because of their ascension and the

584
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: conference realignment always always a curiosity to me. I look

585
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:07,320
Speaker 3: at Cincinnati, the Bearcats from yesteryear, and I think how

586
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: far they've come and what this means to the fan base,

587
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 3: the alumni, those players who help build this. I'm in

588
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 3: the midst of seeing this happen in real time, and

589
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: it's a very interesting process. Right San Diego State. I've

590
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 3: been on the call for their broadcast for many years,

591
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: and I'm watching them join the PAC twelve in a year,

592
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 3: and I've seen the whole process of, you know, sort

593
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 3: of the debutante process of like looking at other Power

594
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: five leagues and batting their eyes a couple of years

595
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 3: ago and saying, well, what about us? How about how

596
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 3: about allowing us to join you all party, you know,

597
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 3: And it's very funny, like, but that's all of these teams,

598
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 3: all of these programs, I should say, they're trying to

599
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: find their landing spot. They're trying to find their chair

600
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 3: in the game of musical chairs. That's happening across college football.

601
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: And Cincinnati did it first, kind of you not first first,

602
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:02,840
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, but most recently first, and

603
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:08,440
Speaker 3: that really kind of kicked off this widespread, this widespread interest,

604
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 3: or I should say it might have been the first

605
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 3: snowball that rolled downhill and turned into the avalanche. So

606
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 3: more interest in the Cincinnati game for sure.

607
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 5: Here the market is a very intriguing handicap in the

608
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 5: Cincinnati game. Right Cincinnati's undefeated and the big twelve seven

609
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 5: straight wins, and they're a double digit underdog against Utah,

610
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 5: who's lost you game? Right Like, again, the gambling lines

611
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 5: sometimes point you in a very interesting direction. Also, Soorsby

612
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 5: the quarterback for Cincinnati, he's having a year that no

613
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 5: one really expected, really good year for Cincinnati's offense. Soorsby's

614
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 5: one of the highest rated passers in the country. So

615
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 5: it'll be interesting though, right Like anytime a team like Cincinnati, like,

616
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,000
Speaker 5: I'd be willing to bet that every single member of

617
00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 5: that Bearcats team has never played a game at this altitude,

618
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 5: at this environment that they're going to experience at Salt Lake. Right,

619
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 5: You've got game day in town. So I think the

620
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 5: markets selling the Utah is gonna win that game. Did

621
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 5: they cover? I think so, But I definitely think there's some,

622
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 5: you know, questions about how good the Utah offense is

623
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 5: and how much distance they can put between themselves and

624
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 5: the Bearcats because Cincinnati's again, Cincinnati's had a really good year,

625
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 5: their linebackers are fantastic. Utah likes to run the ball.

626
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 5: But the market, again with a double digit spreads telling

627
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 5: you that Utah is gonna win this game, Texas Tech.

628
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 5: Kansas State's interesting, right. Kansas State had the expectations coming

629
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 5: into the year, fell off the map, but there's still

630
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 5: a really talented offense Taver Johnson's a guy who could

631
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,959
Speaker 5: make you hurt. And Texas Tech had all the buzz

632
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 5: coming into the year with their roster. The problem is

633
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 5: they're one loss this year on the road against Arizona State.

634
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 5: Was Sam Levitt running around making all those plays. I

635
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 5: could see Avery Johnson doing that tonight. The problem is

636
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 5: for Kansas State is they have a big mismatch in

637
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 5: the trenches. Texas Texas Tech is bigger, fast, stronger O line,

638
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 5: D line, but Kansas State's got the Avery Johnson X factor,

639
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 5: So that one's gonna be fascinating too.

640
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, it's funny, right, we were just talking

641
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 4: about talented teams that still present a problem. But they've

642
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 4: they've lost a handful of games, you know, like the

643
00:32:14,200 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 4: Penn States and the LSUS and Kansas State is kind

644
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 4: of one of those teams as well. And they've been

645
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 4: good the last couple of weeks. Right, they beat TCU,

646
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: they beat Kansas Now they're facing Texas Tech, so we'll

647
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 4: see Avery Johnson running a lot more presents a lot

648
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 4: of problems. I love that Cincinnati Utah matchup. I mean that, like,

649
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 4: Cincinnati is a tough team.

650
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 3: Man.

651
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 4: Their offensive line is really good. They can play smash mouth.

652
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 4: You detailed Soresby over there. Jared, he's a good quarterback.

653
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 4: He's had a hell of a year. And they're ten

654
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 4: and a half point underdogs on the road. I know

655
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 4: you cause a tough place to play, but man, really

656
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 4: that's a lot of points.

657
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is. And you know, here's the funny thing

658
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,200
Speaker 3: about the Bearcats, because I was talking about how years

659
00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: ago I talked to this college football coach who was

660
00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 3: talking about the turnover issue that his team was having

661
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 3: and how it didn't feel like they could fix it.

662
00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 3: The Bearcats are in a little bit of the same

663
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 3: situation this year. Their inability to force turnovers has really

664
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 3: reared its head through the early portion over the halfway

665
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 3: point of this season, and they've fixed it recently. They

666
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 3: forced two turnovers in each of their last two games.

667
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 3: They've only generated one interception this season so far. So

668
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 3: when you look at certain teams and how opportunistic they

669
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 3: have been with the opportunities presented, you say, well, how

670
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 3: are they where they are, But if the Bearcats find

671
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,960
Speaker 3: a way, they could be this year's Arizona State. You

672
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 3: remember how fun that was to watch Skataboo and the CFP,

673
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 3: And there was heartbreak in the CFP, like real heartbreak.

674
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 3: I mean they went down to the wire and that loss.

675
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 3: But the Bearcats are kind of city in that cat

676
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 3: bird seat where they need a couple of Hallmark wins,

677
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 3: a Big twelve championship, and this could launch them into

678
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 3: a situation where now the nation needs to pay attention

679
00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 3: to the Bearcats again, and so they'll be ready to

680
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 3: play this one. I'm curious to see what happens when

681
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 3: they're given those opportunities, though. Do they cash in? Do

682
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 3: they get the turnovers? Do they turn those turnovers into points?

683
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 3: This could be a closer game than anybody is comfortable

684
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 3: saying on the front end here if that is the case.

685
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, one of the reasons why this line jumps, sorry, Brian,

686
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 5: is Evan Pryor being out with injury. He's one of

687
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 5: Cincinnati's best runners, But I don't know how much a

688
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 5: running backs really worth against the spread. And they've got

689
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 5: Savie Walker who's also a secondary back, kind of one

690
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 5: a to one B, So I agree with you. I

691
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 5: think it is too many points. I wouldn't lay it

692
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,960
Speaker 5: with Utah. But man, the Cincinnati road games this year

693
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 5: at Kansas was a crazy game that they barely won,

694
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 5: and an at Oklahoma. State's the worst grades team in

695
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 5: power for so they haven't really been tested on the

696
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 5: road yet.

697
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 1: That's true.

698
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 4: But the rush defense is leaky for the utes over there,

699
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 4: and Soresby he makes a lot of stuff happen with

700
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 4: his legs, so he's gonna have to do that tonight. Man,

701
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 4: ten and a half to cover for Utah. The way

702
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 4: they've looked, they've been boom or bust this year, right,

703
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 4: They've blown out some teams and they've gotten worked pretty good,

704
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 4: uh in the two losses that they've had there. I

705
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 4: just think this too, like real fast and closing. I

706
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,919
Speaker 4: think brand name matters, Like you can see brand name

707
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 4: is just like fingerprints, brand name all over this, you know,

708
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 4: like elevated point spread.

709
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: Like when you close your eyes and think.

710
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 4: Of Cincinnati Bearcats football, what comes to mind?

711
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: Like what do you think of?

712
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 4: I mean, really, most people are just like to tumblewheed,

713
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,319
Speaker 4: just floating by the screen right there, Like if this

714
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 4: is Uh. If you put these this Cincinnati Bearcat's roster

715
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:01,880
Speaker 4: in more of like a brain, like a brand name school,

716
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 4: I think you look at them much differently than a

717
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 4: lot of people look at the Bearcats right now. I

718
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,840
Speaker 4: think they're a really good football team. So I'll happily

719
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 4: take to ten and a half. All right, We've got

720
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 4: Rich Orenberger, Ben State All American, Jared Smith FSR, betting analyst.

721
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 4: I'm Brian No coming up next, little parlay platter action.

724
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:29,320
Speaker 4: If our picks are wrong, then it's a zero payout.

725
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:29,480
Speaker 3: Is what it is.

726
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 4: But we'll see if we can get some winners here,

727
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 4: a collective winner if you will. That's right, let's join

728
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 4: forces here, let's go. It's like the old school mask

729
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 4: cartoon right where we all were going in on a mission.

Speaker 5: Well, I'll give you a dog here. And we have

748
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,280
Speaker 5: to promise even though Brian's already said that the cat

749
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 5: is out of the bag for this dog that we

750
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 5: don't tell Seamus in about forty five minutes when he

751
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 5: comes and he comes out of the show. But I'm

752
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 5: fading Uva today. They're on the road. They're at cal Listen.

753
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 5: The Wahoo's have a real chance to play college with

754
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 5: while playoffs spoiler here. If they went out and get

755
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 5: into the ACEC Championship game and keep Miami out, it's

756
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 5: gonna be really interesting to see what the committee does. However,

757
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 5: Virginia's kind of been skating by by the skin of

758
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,399
Speaker 5: their teeth over in the last few weeks. Right, four

759
00:37:57,400 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 5: straight wins by a single score, started with the overtime

760
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 5: at Florida State. They needed overtime last week against UNC

761
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 5: and I like this COUNT team. I think this COUNT

762
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 5: team is the perfect underdog team because their ceilings really high.

763
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 5: They've got a freshman quarterback. We've talked about him before,

764
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 5: Jks Jaron Kave Songa, Polo Telly. I should get extra

765
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 5: bonus points just for pronouncing that name. The one thing

766
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 5: that scares me, though UBA's run game solid, Kyle does

767
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 5: have an issue stopping the run. They've got a linebacker

768
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 5: you probably never heard of, caid Uliave who is fantastic

769
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 5: this year. I need him to play really big. I

770
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 5: need the freshman quarterback to play big. I think Cal

771
00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 5: at home plus one eighty on the money line. I'll

772
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 5: give you the Bears to end Virginia. CFP hopes later tonight.

773
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 3: Okay, we got an interim coach in Florida, Billy Gonzalez,

774
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 3: who used to be a co offensive coordinator at Mississippi State.

775
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 3: I think Florida's gonna come out playing fast. I think

776
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: they're going to come out playing with tempo Georgia has

777
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:56,040
Speaker 3: been a slow starter this year. We discussed this earlier,

778
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 3: so I'm going to put my money where my mouth

779
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 3: this I said, I like the first quarter spread for

780
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 3: Florida two and a half points. Give me the plus

781
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: two and a half with the Gators. I'm going with

782
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 3: be Know's Buddies pick. I think this is actually a

783
00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 3: really good selection. Will it appear on Rapid Fire maybe not,

784
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 3: but as part of the parlay platter, I really do.

785
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 3: I do like this bet, and I think Florida's had

786
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 3: two weeks to think about how they want to start

787
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:27,919
Speaker 3: this game. Everybody knows. Everybody's ready for their first game

788
00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 3: as a college football coach, as a head coach, you know,

789
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,839
Speaker 3: game two, Game three, Game four, Okay, who knows? Who

790
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 3: knows that Billy Gonzalz has the staining power, but he's

791
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 3: ready for this one. I like Florida's starting fast.

792
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 4: All right, I'm gonna go I feel bad going with

793
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 4: a favorite here. You guys are both going with dogs

794
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 4: over here. Jared's going with the money line dog.

795
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: I feel bad.

796
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get these dods up.

797
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 4: Right, Yeah, I'm going with Houston. Houston Cougar's are a

798
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 4: pretty good football team. They've turned their season around. I'm

799
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 4: gonna lay thirteen and a half against a just crep

800
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 4: at West Virginia team. West Virginia is freaking bad, and

801
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,959
Speaker 4: you look at what Houston's doing. They've lost to Texas Tech.

802
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 3: That's it.

803
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 4: That's the end of the resume as far as the

804
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 4: losing goes. They're a seven to one football team. They're

805
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,920
Speaker 4: defending the run, they're rushing the passer. And also you

806
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 4: look at West Virginia. They can't run the ball and

807
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 4: they can't protect the passer. How are they gonna score

808
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 4: against Houston. So I've got Houston covering the thirteen and

809
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:27,239
Speaker 4: a half against West Virginia.

810
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,360
Speaker 5: I like this one, all right? We get the odds

811
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,760
Speaker 5: boost bet MGM should give you an odds boost today.

812
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 5: They do it every Saturday. At least for me, at

813
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:37,440
Speaker 5: least maybe I'm just special. Odds boost gets us to

814
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,440
Speaker 5: plus eleven fifty two, almost twelve to one on this baby.

815
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 3: Not bad?

816
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: What is it without the boost?

817
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 3: Jared?

818
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:46,719
Speaker 5: It's nine to one ninety one? Yeah I'm bad. No,

819
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 5: I'm not bad at all for a three legger.

820
00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 4: Not bad if you're a non boost participant. But man

821
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 4: if you're a boost participant. Boom, we love the boost.

822
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 4: All right, coming up next, this game is good for

823
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,319
Speaker 4: is good, but it's also suck versus suck. We'll have

824
00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 4: details for you.

825
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 5: Oh what is going on?

826
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 4: Welcome in, Happy Saturday to you, Happy November.

827
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 3: We're here.

828
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,120
Speaker 4: This is the nitty gritty football weather, right is when

829
00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 4: we get down to it. Here a lot of interesting

830
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 4: matchups today too, when you're thinking about the college football

831
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 4: playoff race where these teams kind of in the middle

832
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,359
Speaker 4: tier where you might have one loss, maybe in some

833
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:32,800
Speaker 4: cases two losses and bro it is go time or

834
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 4: it's not happening.

835
00:41:34,280 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 1: So one of those games really.

836
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 4: Is Oklahoma at Tennessee both six and two football teams.

837
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,359
Speaker 1: You can't lose this. You're eliminated.

838
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 4: You know, eliminated is going to be the deal. Whoever

839
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 4: loses this game, no playoff for you. And I'll tell

840
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 4: you what it is. It's good versus good. When Tennessee

841
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 4: has the ball, Tennessee's offense really good. Oklahoma's defense has

842
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,960
Speaker 4: a lot of you know, a lot going for them,

843
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:03,560
Speaker 4: some impressive statistics if you will.

844
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 1: It's the opposite.

845
00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:09,480
Speaker 4: When Oklahoma has the ball, Oklahoma's offense has been rough.

846
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,720
Speaker 4: It is basically the John Mattier Show. If John Mattier

847
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 4: has a shaky game, it's like, well, I guess we're

848
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 4: gonna suck offensively collectively, there's so much on his plate,

849
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 4: on his shoulders. And Tennessee's defense.

850
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 1: Wow, are they bad?

851
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 3: Mad?

852
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 4: Some of these numbers are just like what happened to

853
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,880
Speaker 4: this defense? Ninety fifth in points per drive, that's what

854
00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 4: they're giving up. They rank ninety fifth in that stat So, yeah,

855
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 4: it's good versus good when Tennessee has the ball. It's

856
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 4: bad versus bad when Oklahoma has the ball.

857
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that is one correct. I will say one

858
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 3: thing about the Sooners defense, which is, as usual, a

859
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 3: pretty good group up front. They they missed a lot

860
00:42:55,640 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 3: of tackles last week against Ole Miss they missed seventeen tackles.

861
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 3: They miss a dozen a piece against South Carolina and Texas.

862
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 3: So this has been a problem for the Sooners. They

863
00:43:07,680 --> 00:43:10,560
Speaker 3: can't give up big plays as a result, And then

864
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:12,760
Speaker 3: if we want to turn it back to their offense

865
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 3: for a moment, Mattier hasn't really materialized as a rushing

866
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 3: quarterback threat that he once was with the Cougars. That

867
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 3: part of his game has sort of evaporated, disappeared since

868
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 3: he's signed up with the Sooners, And you look at

869
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 3: the volunteer side of this thing, Joey Agalar, who now

870
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 3: ranks seventeenth amongst FPS quarterbacks with on target throws. So

871
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 3: now with these advanced analytics, we're starting to see where

872
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:46,280
Speaker 3: completion percentage isn't really the end all be all stat anymore.

873
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 3: Where it's not like, hey, you know, this guy had

874
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 3: a fifty percent completion rate over the past two games,

875
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 3: and I'm making up that that hasn't been Joey Aguilar

876
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,800
Speaker 3: actually has been on the money twenty for twenty six

877
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 3: against was it who is that? Kentucky was the last

878
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:07,240
Speaker 3: game they played, right, Yes, did a nice job there. Look,

879
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:09,880
Speaker 3: here's the thing though, when you have a quarterback that

880
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:14,439
Speaker 3: has low completion percentage, oftentimes you turn and you you say, well,

881
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 3: that's a quarterback who's struggling this season. Well, maybe not.

882
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 3: You know, maybe there's a lot of drops. You know,

883
00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 3: maybe there's a lot of situations where you know a

884
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 3: player is is thrown open but trip coming out of

885
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 3: the break of their route, and you say, is that

886
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 3: really on the quarterback or is that on the field conditions,

887
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 3: or that that that receiver not coming to you know,

888
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 3: stuttering his feet coming out of the break of his route.

889
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:45,640
Speaker 3: You know. So I appreciate these advanced analytics looking closer

890
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 3: at the football, at the game itself, and not just

891
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 3: at these these hard and fast stats. With all that said,

892
00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,880
Speaker 3: I kind of like the Sooners. I really do. I

893
00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:00,160
Speaker 3: like them to cover. So I mean, if if I

894
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 3: have a lean one way or the other in this game,

895
00:45:03,040 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 3: it would be on Oklahoma plus the where they again

896
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 3: plus three right now?

897
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, let me say something real fast shared before

898
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 4: you go, because what Rich was saying about the completion

899
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:16,640
Speaker 4: percentage was pretty interesting. Where Look, I think we always

900
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:19,279
Speaker 4: hear this. Styles make fights, you know, like, what is

901
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 4: your style? Offensively? If you look at Tennessee, they throw

902
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 4: the ball downfield, right, those are typically lower percentage completion

903
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 4: type throws. And so if Aguilar's completion percentage is a

904
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 4: little bit lower, but he's hitting these explosive plays, yeah,

905
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:40,560
Speaker 4: you're coming out ahead, right, So listen. Completing passes is important,

906
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 4: But are you better off with one of your quarterbacks

907
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 4: completing a bunch of like like screen passes like two

908
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,760
Speaker 4: yard outsitt like or throwing the ball deep down field

909
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 4: and you hit one of two of those, like, you're

910
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,040
Speaker 4: better off with those explosive plays. So you got to

911
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:57,799
Speaker 4: keep that in mind too when you're thinking about those

912
00:45:57,840 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 4: completion percentages.

913
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,840
Speaker 5: I agree, and that's why the advanced analytics are very helpful.

914
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 5: For example, Pro Football Focus has a category called big

915
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 5: time throws, where even if it's not necessarily completed, it

916
00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:15,800
Speaker 5: still counts if it's on target and it's down the field.

917
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 5: And that's where Joey Aguilar has really been positive over

918
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 5: the last few games, especially last week against Kentucky. Right,

919
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,839
Speaker 5: he had five big time throws against Kentucky. In his

920
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 5: first seven games of the year, he only had eight.

921
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 5: So I think you're starting to see, right. He came

922
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 5: over from app State. We know about the Nico drama

923
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 5: in the offseason. It took Joey some time to kind

924
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 5: of get acclimated to this system, but the talent's there.

925
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 5: The one thing that he does really well is he

926
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:45,120
Speaker 5: puts the ball in spots that some quarterbacks are afraid

927
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 5: to put it. Some quarterbacks, like we talk about Dylan

928
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 5: Ryol at times too not as aggressive getting it down

929
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 5: the field. Where this Tennessee offense is very aggressive, and

930
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 5: they've got you want to talk about weaponry. I think

931
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 5: Tennessee might have the best resis even group in the country.

932
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 5: Chris Brasel, I think is going to be the first

933
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 5: X receiver drafted six five, two hundred pounds, seventeen yards

934
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 5: per catch, eight touchdowns this year. And then on the

935
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 5: other side, right, Tennessee runs that wide choice offense. What

936
00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:15,160
Speaker 5: is wide choice? Essentially, it is when you put the

937
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 5: receivers all the way outside the numbers, and the choice

938
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,920
Speaker 5: is the opportunity for that receiver to go vertical or

939
00:47:21,960 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 5: to hit the comeback. So basically you're reading what the

940
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 5: defensive back is doing, and on any given play you're

941
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 5: outside the numbers, you could take it deeper, you could

942
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 5: come back, depending if you're getting a favorable coverage. So

943
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 5: this is a very dangerous Tennessee offense to defend because

944
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 5: they will stretch you vertically down the field, and they've

945
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 5: got a quarterback who's not afraid to put it there.

946
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 5: Mike Matthews is that other outside receiver a little bit shorter,

947
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 5: but still sixteen yards per reception this year. I mean,

948
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 5: these guys take you deep, and then they've got a

949
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 5: really good slot guy Brayln Staley, redshirt freshman, starting to

950
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 5: play a lot cleaner football out of the slot. So

951
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,040
Speaker 5: they've got all the positions covered. I don't fully trust

952
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,920
Speaker 5: Brent Venables after a loss six straight up, after a

953
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 5: loss at his time at Oklahoma. So this is going

954
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 5: to be one of those matchups where they need John

955
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 5: Mattier to be elite. And he has not looked fully

956
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 5: healthy since coming back from the hand injury. And maybe

957
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 5: he is healthy enough to play, but Brian, there's a

958
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,919
Speaker 5: difference between playing and playing well. And the big time

959
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 5: throw rate has gone down considerably. The turnover worthy play

960
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 5: rate has skyrocketed for ma Tier over the last three

961
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 5: games since he has come back from that hand injury.

962
00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 5: So rocky top at night.

963
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 3: On the road.

964
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 5: You know college will playoff alim a nation game like

965
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 5: this is, and we know Tennessee's defense has struggled, but

966
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,080
Speaker 5: this is going to be a big test for this

967
00:48:37,120 --> 00:48:38,000
Speaker 5: Oklahoma offense.

968
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 4: I just hope that the wide choice offense catches on,

969
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:43,840
Speaker 4: like the West Coast offense or something like that. You know,

970
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 4: I hope it's you know, very common. I love what

971
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:49,359
Speaker 4: a great the wide choice offense isn't it?

972
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 5: It's offense to watch too. It really is because they

973
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 5: stretch you outside the numbers. They really do.

974
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, they make it work. And that's the thing. If

975
00:48:56,600 --> 00:49:01,000
Speaker 4: you look at Oklahoma's past defense, they're susceptible to give

976
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 4: it up big plays and it's like, oh gosh, and

977
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:05,040
Speaker 4: you're playing Tennessee.

978
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 5: Huh.

979
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 4: Like Josh Heipel is like a you know they removed

980
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 4: from Halloween.

981
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,960
Speaker 5: He's just like former Oklahoma quarterback's right, Oh yeah, go

982
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 5: deep baby, Yeah, absolutely, And you brought up I'm glad

983
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 5: you did.

984
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 4: Jared John Mattier, who was sensational at the beginning of

985
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 4: the season and then he had the hand injury and

986
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 4: then he rushed it back against Texas. He played badly

987
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,279
Speaker 4: and he hasn't been right ever since. And it's not

988
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:36,240
Speaker 4: just air mailing passes, you know, like accuracy hasn't been good.

989
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 4: Some of the decision making hasn't been good. That's the thing.

990
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 4: It's like it's his decision making. It's not just the hand.

991
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 4: It's like why is he throwing it there? Good hand

992
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 4: or bad hand? Like what is he doing? So he's

993
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 4: had a lot of those head scratching moves. And I

994
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 4: also think behind an offensive line that has been shaky.

995
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,959
Speaker 4: They haven't been able to run the ball effectively pretty

996
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,960
Speaker 4: much all season. They had a big shock play last week,

997
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 4: but that's about it for their running game. And you

998
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 4: look at their offensive line. They have two freshmen tackles,

999
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:12,080
Speaker 4: that's right, a freshman left tackle, freshman right tackle. And

1000
00:50:12,120 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 4: you're on the road in one of the most electric

1001
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:18,719
Speaker 4: atmospheres in all of college football at Tennessee. So that's

1002
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 4: a lot to deal with. And the Oklahoma's offense is

1003
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 4: not doing a good job taking pressure off of John

1004
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 4: Mattere and listen, Tennessee's defense sucks. So maybe Oklahoma will

1005
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 4: have more success taking pressure off Matier because he needs

1006
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 4: that to happen. He's just not comfortable right now at all.

1007
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:40,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, well, that's that's actually what I was going

1008
00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 3: to focus on, because your everything you said about John

1009
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,880
Speaker 3: Mattiir is one hundred percent correct. He he has struggled

1010
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 3: since returning from the handry injury. And by the way,

1011
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,000
Speaker 3: a hand surgery like this wasn't just a guy who

1012
00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 3: sprained a ligament in his finger. He legit ultimately broke

1013
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,400
Speaker 3: a bone when under the knife. Two weeks later he

1014
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 3: was back on the field and and conventional wisdom about

1015
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,759
Speaker 3: surgeries and healing times for bone which was involved in

1016
00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 3: this surgery, and and how your osteo sites at the

1017
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 3: microscopic level have to accept whatever, you know, metal implements

1018
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 3: that they're putting in there to strengthen the area and

1019
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,880
Speaker 3: support the area that you you shattered or broke like this,

1020
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 3: this is a serious This is a serious surgery, and

1021
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,920
Speaker 3: it was done on a player's throwing hand. I mean

1022
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 3: imagine if this was a college or professional pitcher we

1023
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 3: were talking about in baseball, this guy wouldn't be back

1024
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 3: for five months. That's just it's a different sport I

1025
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 3: understand it. And it's a different level of uh, what

1026
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 3: what do I want to say, rip strength or you know, yeah,

1027
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 3: different level of group state strength. And also like there's

1028
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 3: there's more mar gin in football. Like in baseball, pitching

1029
00:52:03,440 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 3: is so exacting that if you're off by a fraction

1030
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 3: of an inch, if your spin rate is you know,

1031
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 3: a couple of revolutions slower, like, those things can be

1032
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:16,800
Speaker 3: turned around into huge moments for an opposing offense. Whereas

1033
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 3: you can hide more with ten more guys on the

1034
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,520
Speaker 3: football field, it's not always relying on John Mattier's throwing

1035
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 3: hand to get the job done. But I digress to

1036
00:52:26,280 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 3: talk about how awful this volunteers defense has been. They

1037
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:33,560
Speaker 3: have been terrible. They can't stop the run. Brian no

1038
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,560
Speaker 3: would rush for fifty seven fifty eight yards in this game. Yeah,

1039
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 3: I mean they can't. They're so bad against inside zone

1040
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 3: they give up and get this, they give up an

1041
00:52:43,160 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 3: explosive run play one in every eleven rushing attempts against Wow,

1042
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 3: that's how bad the volunteers have been on the ground.

1043
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,920
Speaker 3: And in terms of red zone defense, it's it's Swiss cheese.

1044
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 3: Of twenty nine opponents, it's within the twenty yard line

1045
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 3: of the scoring zone. They've only stopped five Okay, twenty

1046
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:11,680
Speaker 3: four of twenty nine opponent's visits to the red zone

1047
00:53:11,760 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 3: has resulted in scoring. It's atrocious. I mean, you gotta

1048
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 3: have a backstop somewhere the volunteers do not.

1049
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree. Like And to be perfectly transparent, like

1050
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 5: I gave out Tennessee earlier in the week. We do

1051
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 5: the videos for bet MGM, I do Wednesday Friday crack

1052
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 5: those on Mondays and Thursdays for the NFL. I gave

1053
00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:36,720
Speaker 5: out Tennessee on my Wednesday video. And obviously their defense

1054
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 5: concerns me. I can't push back on anything Rich is

1055
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 5: saying because the defense is a big red flag. However,

1056
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:47,759
Speaker 5: the one thing that got me to Tennessee in this

1057
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 5: spot was is Oklahoma's offense in a position to take

1058
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 5: advantage of that? Because we know that if your defense

1059
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 5: sucks but the quarterback is not accurate with his deep

1060
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 5: balls or just accurate period because of that injury, is

1061
00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 5: it as big of an issue as it normally would.

1062
00:54:04,840 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 5: And the one thing that Tennessee's defense does really well

1063
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 5: is rush the passer and contain the passer. They've got

1064
00:54:10,120 --> 00:54:12,719
Speaker 5: some really good dudes on the edge that can keep

1065
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 5: Matier in the pocket, eliminate the run game, and force

1066
00:54:16,120 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 5: him to be a downfield passer. And if he is

1067
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 5: inaccurate with his throws, that to me is kind it's

1068
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 5: kind of a neutral. It kind of negates that weakness

1069
00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 5: in the Tennessee secondary. I'll give you the matchup that

1070
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,520
Speaker 5: I think is gonna decide this game, and it's gonna

1071
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 5: be the Oklahoma defensive line. Our Mason Thomas, one of

1072
00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 5: the best pass rushers in the country, against a young,

1073
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 5: but very talented Tennessee offensive line, and I'm gonna give

1074
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,440
Speaker 5: you the right tackles named David Sanders. He's a freshman.

1075
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 5: He's six to six, he's over three hundred pounds, former

1076
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,719
Speaker 5: five star, he was hurt to start the year. He's

1077
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,920
Speaker 5: come on really strong the last few weeks. When I

1078
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:53,359
Speaker 5: watch him on tape and Rich can allude to this,

1079
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 5: he has one of the best anchors I've ever seen

1080
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 5: in terms of a freshman tackle. He does not play

1081
00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 5: with his head over his feet, and when you're facing

1082
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,000
Speaker 5: a pass rusher that can get you with the speed

1083
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 5: with the bull rush, like our Mason Thomas Can, I

1084
00:55:07,800 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 5: think that anchor is going to be very important. I

1085
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 5: think the other side of the Tennessee offensive line with

1086
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 5: Herd the left tackle, is really solid. He's their most

1087
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 5: experienced offensive lineman. So I think the bookend tackles for

1088
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 5: Tennessee are going to allow Aguilar to push the ball

1089
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 5: down the field. And now you're talking about a tennis

1090
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 5: match here, Brian, where Tennessee I think is going to

1091
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 5: have success throwing it deep. But his mateir and that

1092
00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 5: injured hand going to be able to match Serve for Serve,

1093
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:32,840
Speaker 5: I would lean.

1094
00:55:32,719 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 3: To the no.

1095
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:35,600
Speaker 5: And I know Tennessee's defense has been bad, but I

1096
00:55:35,640 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 5: think the injury to the thumb kind of superseds that.

1097
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,120
Speaker 5: And I like Tennessee's offense, especially their deep passing game,

1098
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 5: and I do think that's what decides this.

1099
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 3: Man.

1100
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 4: I just had a horrible flashback. I needed Auburn to

1101
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 4: anchor down against old furm Mason right there when he

1102
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:57,200
Speaker 4: was he was getting a safety in the end zone

1103
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:59,800
Speaker 4: to cover this spread. Oh my gosh, that was terrible,

1104
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 4: great breakdown. I think we covered our bases here. Let

1105
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:07,799
Speaker 4: me just say this. I hear the voles quite a bit.

1106
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 4: It's the volunteers. It's the vowls. Can we make that

1107
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 4: a thing, right?

1108
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,360
Speaker 5: Like? Did I mispronounce that?

1109
00:56:14,400 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1110
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,600
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, I don't. I don't think you did.

1111
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,120
Speaker 4: I don't think you did. It's just somewhere. It was

1112
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:20,880
Speaker 4: probably my notes here. I was reading it and it

1113
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:24,080
Speaker 4: just says the Volves gave up thirty four points last week, YadA, YadA,

1114
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 4: And I'm like, it's the valves. I hear voles all

1115
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,719
Speaker 4: the time. It's not the volunteers, it's the vowls. It's

1116
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 4: the freaking valves. It's just like Gonzaga it's the Zags.

1117
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 4: It's not Gonzaga. Right, they're the Zags, So it's Gonzaga.

1118
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:41,279
Speaker 3: What are we doing here? Right?

1119
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 5: Like happy day? By the way, to those who celebrated yesterday,

1120
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 5: Oh really, yeah, I go. It was a thing that

1121
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,280
Speaker 5: the Golden Knights played a noon game or one o'clock

1122
00:56:49,320 --> 00:56:51,120
Speaker 5: game to celebrate. I don't know. It was the day

1123
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 5: that Nevada became a state, and they do it every

1124
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 5: year they play an afternoon game.

1125
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:57,279
Speaker 4: Oh wow, I had no idea it was a thing.

1126
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 5: Not Happy Nevada Day, though. I want to say that.

1127
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,520
Speaker 3: Oh, absolutely not. You know, it's funny.

1128
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 4: I'm glad you said that because I remember Nevada played

1129
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 4: Notre Dame years ago and they said on the broadcast.

1130
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:13,160
Speaker 4: It's in their media guide where they're like, it's Nevada.

1131
00:57:13,360 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 5: Oh they get serious state.

1132
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, they absolutely big deal.

1145
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 4: off when I just talked about his Virginia Cavaliers, like

1146
00:57:57,720 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 4: storming the field against Florida. He's gonna be really upset

1147
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 4: with me when I tell him against his Virginia squad.

1148
00:58:06,680 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 4: What is he gonna say? We will find out next

1149
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,720
Speaker 4: that hang on the way phone. It'd be funny if

1150
00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 4: you just walked off. He's like, I'm not even doing this.

1151

1163
00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:50,880
Speaker 1: Good morning, Seamus.

1164
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,400
Speaker 4: You know I typically am not a tattletale, but I

1165
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 4: will make an exception in this one category, this one instance.

1166
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 4: How about our guy Jared's taking cal money line today

1167
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 4: against your Virginia squad. What do you make of that there, Seamus.

1168
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 6: I may have a part to play in this. I

1169
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 6: think I did text him after the game last week

1170
00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 6: I said we might be the biggest fraud in the country.

1171
00:59:18,600 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 6: Love you. It was a real tough watching Chapel Hill

1172
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 6: last week. A lot of luck bounce is our way.

1173
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,760
Speaker 6: I'm just so happy this game isn't a ten pm kick.

1174
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 6: They catch a little bit of a break with a

1175
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 6: three eastern. Yeah, but we'll see, we'll see.

1176
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 5: Should be interesting, Seamus. I think I think when you

1177
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 5: look at this Cale team and we can get into

1178
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 5: this game a little bit later. But I do think

1179
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 5: Virginia's is not is not ready for the big stage,

1180
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,960
Speaker 5: at least when they get to the Culture Wall playoff.

1181
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 5: If they do, or are they able to get to

1182
00:59:52,200 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 5: the AC championship game. Kind of a weird week. I

1183
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 5: think some of the teams that I want to look

1184
00:59:57,680 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 5: at as kind of contenders, We're gonna find out a

1185
00:59:59,760 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 5: lot more. Is there one specific game where you're like, Okay,

1186
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 5: this one is circled and if this team loses, they

1187
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 5: are eliminated from collegewell playoff contention and they will be

1188
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 5: talked about no more as a contender.

1189
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 6: I mean, we got a few kind of de facto

1190
01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 6: playoff games here. I think Oklahoma Tennessee, you gotta circle

1191
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:21,520
Speaker 6: that one. I think loser goes home there. Uh, Big twelve,

1192
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 6: you know, Cincinnati, Utah, That's definitely one. Cincinnati's got to

1193
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 6: be one of the quietest teams, you know, sneaking around

1194
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 6: this is the country right now. Brendan Soresby I think

1195
01:00:32,160 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 6: is like a legitimate Heisman contender right now if they

1196
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 6: run the table. He's statistically been one of the best

1197
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 6: quarterbacks in the country. So those are two at least

1198
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 6: I have circled. As far as playoff complications go, it

1199
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,959
Speaker 6: is a weird week. You know, before the season, you've

1200
01:00:47,200 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 6: you looked at this slate being like, WHOA got to cancel?

1201
01:00:49,600 --> 01:00:54,760
Speaker 6: My plans Saturday, November first. Uh, but you know, Florida

1202
01:00:54,840 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 6: falls off the map hen State is in their whole

1203
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 6: thing right now. So yeah, it's interesting.

1204
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 3: Georgia Florida. Florida has a new head coach after a

1205
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 3: two week break. I kind of like Florida early in

1206
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 3: this game, we were talking about a first quarter cover

1207
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,960
Speaker 3: of the plus two and a half. But what do

1208
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 3: you think? What do you think about the Gators right

1209
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,840
Speaker 3: now with Billy Gonzalez taking over.

1210
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 6: I just don't know what Florida team I'm going to

1211
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 6: get on a weekly basis, Like Blackways, am playing a

1212
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 6: little bit better, But ye know, Georgia have to keep

1213
01:01:31,360 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 6: winning games, and you wonder it is a rival game.

1214
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 6: Florida should be up for this game, but I mean,

1215
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 6: george does have to lay it on. I'm just not

1216
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:43,479
Speaker 6: sure about this game. On the line is a bit weird.

1217
01:01:43,520 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 6: You would have think Georgia favored by more with Florida,

1218
01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 6: you know, no head coach. But here we are at seven.

1219
01:01:49,680 --> 01:01:53,040
Speaker 4: What's on the wish list today, Seamus? If you magically

1220
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 4: could wave the bet MGM wand and get you know,

1221
01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 4: two three results in your favor, what would you choose up.

1222
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:05,440
Speaker 6: Two would definitely have to be Penn State magically covering

1223
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 6: eighteen and a half. I don't know how we get there,

1224
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 6: but we're gonna need to get there. And then I'm

1225
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 6: a bit surprised. We've taken a lot of Texas money

1226
01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,479
Speaker 6: this week. We're gonna need Vanny three.

1227
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 5: Wow.

1228
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 6: Vanny's been a very popular team publicly the past few weeks,

1229
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 6: so I am a little surprised with how WHOA. I

1230
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 6: feel like everyone is on arch manning in Texas that

1231
01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:29,520
Speaker 6: they're buying the Longhorns this week.

1232
01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the arch Like if I was to

1233
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 5: handicap it from a stock market perspective and I was

1234
01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 5: going on like CNBC or something, I would say, yeah, Art,

1235
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:41,880
Speaker 5: this is a bilo spot for our training for sure,

1236
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 5: as as almost now less than a field goal favorite

1237
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 5: at home against Vandy. How about that. I would never

1238
01:02:47,400 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 5: would have expected that ending into the year. We get

1239
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:52,720
Speaker 5: these lines sometimes, Shamus, we talk about them all the time,

1240
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 5: that just they make you scratch your head. We were

1241
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 5: mentioning this game earlier. You talked about Cincinnati and Soresby.

1242
01:02:59,280 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 5: They're undefeated in the Big Twelve. They've won seven straight games.

1243
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 5: Their one loss was a tight one week one to Nebraska,

1244
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:06,960
Speaker 5: and yet they're a double digit dog against Utah. It's

1245
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 5: got quarterback issues, right. We don't know if Van Pierre

1246
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 5: is one hundred percent and Utah has had a couple

1247
01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 5: more setbacks this year. But the numbers telling you that

1248
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:18,520
Speaker 5: Utah is the significantly better team. Do you buy into that?

1249
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:23,120
Speaker 5: You know, fagazy market narrative that on paper, that.

1250
01:03:23,120 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 6: Would you would think that's true, especially you've taken your

1251
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 6: preseason priors into account. But I mean, Utah has been

1252
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:32,160
Speaker 6: getting action all week. We're gonna need Cincinnati plus ten

1253
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 6: in this one, but you gotta look at some external factors.

1254
01:03:35,560 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 6: This is a big road trip for Cincinnati. They got

1255
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 6: to go out west in the altitude at Utah. Everyone

1256
01:03:40,480 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 6: likes to talking about Colorado, but it exists up there

1257
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 6: in Utah, and it's a late kicked at ten thirty.

1258
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:47,520
Speaker 6: So I mean, there's a few things going into this

1259
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,920
Speaker 6: number here. Utah does have I think a bigger home

1260
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 6: field advantage than most people like to believe.

1261
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 3: What's the handle look like right now? With the Heisman candidates.

1262
01:03:57,280 --> 01:04:00,760
Speaker 3: I sort of feel like the fact that arch Manning

1263
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 3: is no longer anywhere near this conversation, and maybe even

1264
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 3: names like Drew Aller or John Mattier who have a

1265
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 3: little bit more I guess, brand recognition attached to them

1266
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:14,600
Speaker 3: than some of the names at the top of this list,

1267
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:18,520
Speaker 3: like Fernando Mendoza, who's a transfer to Indiana lighting it up,

1268
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 3: or even a Diego Pavia who's a popular choice right

1269
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:26,360
Speaker 3: now but maybe only just recently kind of bursting onto

1270
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:28,960
Speaker 3: the scene at Vandy. What does that do the handle?

1271
01:04:29,040 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 3: I mean, does that affect how many people are even

1272
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 3: willing to put a little, you know, a little sprinkle

1273
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:35,080
Speaker 3: on the heisman this early in the season.

1274
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 6: The handle's great this year because wide open. Our book

1275
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 6: also looks great right now. I mean before the year,

1276
01:04:45,840 --> 01:04:48,960
Speaker 6: everything was on arch Manning. He falls off, you know,

1277
01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 6: hours before we're talking, hours before Oregon kicks off against Indiana.

1278
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:57,480
Speaker 6: We took a really sizable wager on Dante More to

1279
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 6: win the heisman, pretty much putting all the liab on

1280
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,760
Speaker 6: the book on him, and then Mendoza goes in and

1281
01:05:02,800 --> 01:05:06,120
Speaker 6: beats Oregon. So the books looked great ever since Pavia

1282
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 6: moved in shorter, so we kind of dodged a lot

1283
01:05:09,840 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 6: of some long shot liability. He may have had when

1284
01:05:12,440 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 6: he was around, and you can get him like forty

1285
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 6: or fifty to one, I believe, and then you know,

1286
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 6: Mendoza we were pretty quick to be short on as

1287
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 6: well as Simpsons. So the book's looking great right now

1288
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 6: for a BETAMGM and you know, Handle gets better every week,

1289
01:05:26,400 --> 01:05:29,880
Speaker 6: so it hasn't been open. I think Mendoza might run

1290
01:05:29,920 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 6: away with it if they just keep, you know, laying

1291
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 6: the hammer on teams. But we'll see how it goes.

1292
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:37,320
Speaker 6: Ti Simpson has been playing very well as well.

1293
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 4: All right, Seamus, it's that time you're seamous special.

1294
01:05:40,240 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: What are you going with this week?

1295
01:05:42,880 --> 01:05:45,880
Speaker 6: We're going to go to some proper football here. We're

1296
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:51,120
Speaker 6: going to Liverpool, England. Liverpool has lost four Premier League

1297
01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:53,600
Speaker 6: matches in a row, the reigning champs from last year.

1298
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 6: For those who don't know, they are playing an aston

1299
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 6: Villa team who have won four matches in a row.

1300
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 6: Everyone is fading Liverpool. Everyone's down on Liverpool. So we're

1301
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 6: gonna take the minus one and a half today. They

1302
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 6: rested a lot of their players and their Caravel Cup

1303
01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 6: fixed to at the midweek. They're zeroing in on this

1304
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 6: game in Ancer. It's a must win for Liverpool today,

1305
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 6: and I think they really get back on track.

1306
01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 3: All right.

1307
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 4: The minus one and a half with the Liverpool, really.

1308
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 6: If you'd like to lay a dollar fifty, go crazy, Bud,

1309
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 6: you know, reach o the goal line a little bit

1310
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 6: here with minus one and a half.

1311
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:28,920
Speaker 3: I like it.

1312
01:06:29,120 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 4: You know, go big or go home, Seamous. You know

1313
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 4: it's got to be the slogan for you over there,

1314
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 4: no doubt. Well, always good to chat with you, man.

1315
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:38,800
Speaker 4: Hope you enjoy the day, Seamus. We'll catch you next week.

1316
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 6: I'm a going guys, enjoy the games you two.

1317
01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 3: There.

1318
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 4: He is Seamus McGee, team lead of sports Trading at

1319
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 4: bed MGM man talking smack about his own Virginia squad.

1320
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:51,439
Speaker 4: You know that's got to carry out weight right there.

1321
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 4: I think, right, all right, how about this, let's go

1322
01:06:53,800 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 4: to the big ten. Let's go with USC at Nebraska.

1323
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 4: You look at SCY they're still a four and a

1324
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:03,640
Speaker 4: half point favorite, but this number has come down down

1325
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 4: down just a little bit, ever so slowly, people buying

1326
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 4: the Nebraska Cornhuskers in this one. I think in a

1327
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 4: lot of ways to look at this game. If you

1328
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 4: look at Nebraska's pass defense has been pretty good. They're

1329
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:21,160
Speaker 4: a top ten pass defense in terms of yards per dropback,

1330
01:07:21,600 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 4: but USC's passing offense is elite, their third in terms of,

1331
01:07:26,080 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 4: you know, averaging average yards per drop back. So it's

1332
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,920
Speaker 4: strength versus strength when USC is throwing the ball. The

1333
01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:35,840
Speaker 4: one thing though, when Nebraska's on defense, they can't stop

1334
01:07:35,880 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 4: the run. Their rush defense is really suspect, and USC

1335
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 4: can run the ball. I think that's very overlooked with SC.

1336
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 4: Where you think Lincoln Riley they're throwing the ball all

1337
01:07:45,920 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 4: over the place, they can line up and just pound

1338
01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:51,160
Speaker 4: the rock. So that's something to keep your eye on

1339
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 4: when USC has the ball at least.

1340
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, look USC coming off of bye, it gives Lincoln

1341
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 3: Riley and his staff extra time to scheme up against

1342
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:07,840
Speaker 3: some of Nebraska's obvious defensive tendancies. And look, at this

1343
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 3: point in the season, it's a long college football season.

1344
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,680
Speaker 3: I know it's much shorter than the NFL, but but

1345
01:08:14,920 --> 01:08:17,799
Speaker 3: it gives your your players a chance to rest and recover.

1346
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 3: I think with fresh legs and that offense you were

1347
01:08:21,680 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 3: talking about, and I would say a decisive advantage that

1348
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 3: goes towards the biggs. On the USC side of defense,

1349
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:31,920
Speaker 3: I think they just have a better unit upfront offensively

1350
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 3: in terms of their line and defensively. Yeah, I think

1351
01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 3: if there's a lean for me, the USC side of

1352
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:41,640
Speaker 3: defense on the spread is where I would lean in

1353
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:44,679
Speaker 3: this game. I think I think they could. This could

1354
01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 3: be one of those games where Lincoln Riley puts a

1355
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,760
Speaker 3: little bit of a pounding on a conference opponent, and

1356
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 3: you know, USC obviously not the year they're hoping to have,

1357
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 3: but this could be a little bit of a mini

1358
01:08:57,479 --> 01:08:59,840
Speaker 3: statement here as the season.

1359
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 5: Grows, Like, Yeah, I've been a big disappointment for Rayola

1360
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:06,919
Speaker 5: this year. I'm glad that Matt Rule signed his extension

1361
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 5: with Nebraska this week so he will not be the

1362
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,679
Speaker 5: new Penn State coach. I know everyone in Happy Valley

1363
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:17,559
Speaker 5: is actually happy about that because you just look at Yeah,

1364
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 5: I know, and he was the name that was really

1365
01:09:20,680 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 5: floated as the main the main candidate when you know,

1366
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:29,400
Speaker 5: all the James Franklin stuff went down. Obviously, rules connection

1367
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 5: to Pat Kraft, the're best friends and and you know,

1368
01:09:32,080 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 5: bringing Rayol I think would have been at least a

1369
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:38,840
Speaker 5: nice transition to from Drew Aller. But I just think

1370
01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 5: it would have been a lateral move and I'm glad

1371
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 5: it didn't happen. I know, I echo a lot of sentiments.

1372
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 5: I posted it the other day when the extension hit.

1373
01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 5: The hit the news wire, and a lot of my

1374
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,760
Speaker 5: Penn State brethren were also up in arms with the

1375
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 5: excitement that it wasn't gonna be rules. So we'll see.

1376
01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,000
Speaker 5: We can discuss who, you know, the next Penn State

1377
01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 5: coach will be, but it won't be Rule. I think

1378
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 5: this is a bad matchup for Nebraska. I think you

1379
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 5: look at what USC does effectively. We know they can

1380
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 5: run it, but it's really Mayava and the passing offense

1381
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,680
Speaker 5: that's been the you know, the bread winner for this

1382
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 5: USC you know team this year, and the Nebraska offense

1383
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 5: is the weak link. So it kind of reminds me

1384
01:10:19,080 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 5: of the Tennessee Oklahoma game in a sense where I

1385
01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 5: think Tennessee is going to have success throwing it down

1386
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 5: the field like I think USC will. I just don't

1387
01:10:27,080 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 5: know if Nebraska has the horses to keep up. And

1388
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 5: their offense has been very much dink and dunk for

1389
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,960
Speaker 5: some reason. Even though they brought in dan Key I

1390
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 5: think from Kentucky, they brought in a couple of other

1391
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 5: receiver transfers to kind of beef up this outside passing game.

1392
01:10:41,960 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 5: They have been very conservative throwing it this year. We

1393
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 5: know they can run it with EMT Johnson. I like

1394
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:49,600
Speaker 5: their run game a lot, but I don't know if

1395
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 5: they're gonna be in a position to run it here

1396
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:53,840
Speaker 5: because I think USC Mayava is the only quarterback in

1397
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 5: the country. He's you want to talk about, soors we

1398
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 5: having a good year at Cincinnati. Jordan mayavas having or

1399
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 5: Jade Mayava, excuse me, he's having a fantastic year. UC

1400
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 5: only quarterback in the country averaging at least ten yards

1401
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:06,599
Speaker 5: per temp. So they are a very aggressive offense. They

1402
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 5: will throw it right down the field. We know how

1403
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 5: good the receivers are, and I just don't know if

1404
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,680
Speaker 5: Nebraska has the firepower to go blow for blow with

1405
01:11:13,720 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 5: this USC offense.

1406
01:11:14,880 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1407
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 4: No, it's fair and it's funny, right Like if you

1408
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 4: look at when Nebraska has the ball, they're good between

1409
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 4: the twenties, Like they can move the ball pretty well,

1410
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 4: but they're not good in the red zone because they

1411
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 4: can't run the ball very well.

1412
01:11:27,960 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 3: You know.

1413
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,679
Speaker 4: And if you look at USC, they're the opposite. On defense,

1414
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,960
Speaker 4: they're not very good between the twenties. They allow explosives,

1415
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 4: but they're pretty good in the red zone. So I

1416
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 4: think Nebraska's red zone offense is something big to watch

1417
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 4: in this game. When they get the ball, like past

1418
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 4: USC's twenty yard line, they get into that red zone area,

1419
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 4: are they scoring touchdowns or are they settling for field goals.

1420
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 4: That's a big deal because, like you said, Jared, when

1421
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:57,080
Speaker 4: you're matching points with USC, you need some touchdowns over

1422
01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 4: there that threes aren't gonna do it. So can they

1423
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,240
Speaker 4: secute Nebraska in the red zone? I think it's a

1424
01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:04,920
Speaker 4: big deal. By the way, we've got real fast. A

1425
01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 4: couple of minutes, Jared and you were talking about the

1426
01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 4: coaching carousel, and you've got the list whittled down to

1427
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,760
Speaker 4: maybe two names at LSU and maybe a couple of

1428
01:12:12,800 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 4: names elsewhere. You want to go rapid fire just calling

1429
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,599
Speaker 4: your shots. Who you think is gonna get these gigs?

1430
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 5: Sure, I think uh Lan Kiffin's gonna get the LSU

1431
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 5: job just a hunch. Okay, I think Penn State's down.

1432
01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 3: To Brahm.

1433
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 5: Hind Heartline. I think you throw a drink what's his

1434
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 5: name into the mix too. I think Heartline's really interesting

1435
01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 5: for me. The offensive coordinator at Ohio State. Ryan Day's

1436
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 5: a lot younger than you think, Like, I know, he's

1437
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 5: been there a while, and he's won a championship and

1438
01:12:40,080 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 5: and you know, but he's I think you want honest say,

1439
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:45,160
Speaker 5: he's like not even fifty years old yet. So that's

1440
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,320
Speaker 5: the he's at the top of the barrel. Like the

1441
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 5: Ohio State job. It doesn't get much better than that.

1442
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 5: Maybe Bama, maybe Georgia. But Kirby smartin deborn't going anywhere

1443
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 5: for a long time, and I don't see Ryan Day

1444
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:56,639
Speaker 5: going to the NFL. So there's a there's a stop

1445
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:58,640
Speaker 5: gap at the top of the Ohio State program. And

1446
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 5: Brian Hartline has high aspirations and I think that would

1447
01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:05,479
Speaker 5: be a really interesting hire for penn State. Young offensive

1448
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:09,200
Speaker 5: minded guy who you would imagine should be able to

1449
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 5: maybe bring some of that offensive explosion from Ohio State

1450
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 5: over to penn State. And the recree is a good recruiter.

1451
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 5: He obviously knows that area very well. You know, the

1452
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:23,160
Speaker 5: Pennsylvania Ohio area is huge. You know, Ohio goes into Pennsylvania,

1453
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:25,000
Speaker 5: Ohio State goes into Pa a lot and takes kids

1454
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:27,040
Speaker 5: in Pennsylvania, goes into penn State, goes into Ohio a

1455
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 5: lot and takes kids, so I think that's an interesting dynamic.

1456
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:33,120
Speaker 5: The Florida job, I don't know. I think some are

1457
01:13:33,160 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 5: all at to Lane's an interesting candidate. I thought Lane

1458
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:37,240
Speaker 5: would have been, you know, a good candidate for the

1459
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 5: Florida job. But I do think LSU has got his

1460
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 5: their sights on him. So those would be my predictions

1461
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 5: right now. I think Heartline at Penn State, I think

1462
01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:48,760
Speaker 5: Kiffin at LSU, and I think some are all at Florida.

1463
01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:50,559
Speaker 4: By the way, is that at the top of your

1464
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:52,839
Speaker 4: wish list for your Nickney Lyons?

1465
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: I know you're not interested in.

1466
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 5: I Likedram a lot too.

1467
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1468
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 4: I give Jared a hard time because it was a

1469
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 4: week or two ago. I'm like, man, there was a report,

1470
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:04,400
Speaker 4: you know, like a you know, an alert and you

1471
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 4: get like these sports update alerts whatever, and it was like, man,

1472
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 4: Penn State's going to take a run at Marcus Freeman.

1473
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:13,240
Speaker 4: And I was like, stay away from my head coach,

1474
01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:16,080
Speaker 4: you know, you nitty lion bastards or whatever I put,

1475
01:14:16,120 --> 01:14:19,200
Speaker 4: I don't know, And Jared's like, I'd rather have this

1476
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:22,080
Speaker 4: guy Kurt Signetti, which I get, but he was just

1477
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 4: like it's Marcus sloppy seconds Freeman over here.

1478
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 5: You know, he's just like you know, Freeman would be

1479
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:30,160
Speaker 5: what it might have been my second choice. But it's

1480
01:14:30,160 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 5: funny because first you didn't want us to take him,

1481
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,240
Speaker 5: and then you were upset that I didn't want him.

1482
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 5: That's why it was funny. No, I don't.

1483
01:14:35,320 --> 01:14:36,720
Speaker 1: I don't want you guys to take him at all.

1484
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:38,800
Speaker 5: I love No, he's a really good coach. I think

1485
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:41,479
Speaker 5: anyone if if they probe Marcus Freeman away from Notre Dame,

1486
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 5: whoever gets them is going to be really happy.

1487
01:14:43,479 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah. And just going back to your

1488
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:49,240
Speaker 3: Penn State pick because that being my alma mater. Two

1489
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:52,799
Speaker 3: and the heart Line pick is an interesting one because

1490
01:14:52,840 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 3: I'm I'm well aware of who he is and where

1491
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 3: he's been because I competed against him for most of

1492
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:01,639
Speaker 3: my college career. He was a receiver at Penn State

1493
01:15:01,760 --> 01:15:05,480
Speaker 3: my entire time. We overlapped. We were actually both drafted

1494
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 3: in the fourth round of the same exact draft.

1495
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:09,400
Speaker 5: Oh wow, I don't know.

1496
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:12,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he was a few picks ahead of me,

1497
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 3: but he was earlier in the fourth I was later

1498
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 3: in the fourth round, and similar length of playing careers.

1499
01:15:19,360 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 3: He went the coaching route. I went the broadcasting route.

1500
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 3: And he's only coached at Ohio State. This guy was

1501
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:29,679
Speaker 3: born in Ohio, played in Ohio, went to Ohio State,

1502
01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:34,080
Speaker 3: finished his NFL career a career, went back to the State,

1503
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,200
Speaker 3: actually finished his NFL career with the Browns. He was

1504
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,920
Speaker 3: drafted by the Dolphins, finished up in Ohio, goes back

1505
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 3: to Ohio State as a coach, and so for the

1506
01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:47,040
Speaker 3: first time outside of a brief stint in Miami where

1507
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 3: he was drafted to, this guy is going to accept

1508
01:15:50,560 --> 01:15:55,880
Speaker 3: a head coaching job with a fierce conference rival. I mean,

1509
01:15:55,920 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 3: there have been some wars between Ohio State and Penn State.

1510
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:05,479
Speaker 3: Really curious, like internally for for Brian Hartline. Like you said,

1511
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:07,320
Speaker 3: there's a hard cap at the top of the Ohio

1512
01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:10,280
Speaker 3: State buck Guys program right now, Ryan Day's going nowhere,

1513
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:14,400
Speaker 3: Like what will it do to him internally? This Ohio

1514
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:17,840
Speaker 3: kid putting on Penn State. It's like a wolf in

1515
01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,280
Speaker 3: sheep's clothes, you know, are sheep and wolf's close? I

1516
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 3: don't even know I'm mixing my metaphors, because that's got

1517
01:16:23,439 --> 01:16:26,840
Speaker 3: to be a strange feeling for Brian Hartline to have

1518
01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 3: to swallow all that and go there and be like we.

1519
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,160
Speaker 5: Are really are you a good fit?

1520
01:16:32,240 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 3: Though?

1521
01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:34,639
Speaker 5: I mean, I know I agree with you the Ohio

1522
01:16:34,640 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 5: thing is weird, But in terms of what Penn State

1523
01:16:36,960 --> 01:16:39,400
Speaker 5: is looking for right now, I think Signetti was clearly

1524
01:16:39,479 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 5: their top guy. That's why he got the extension right

1525
01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:41,920
Speaker 5: out of the gate.

1526
01:16:42,160 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 3: Oh yeah yeah.

1527
01:16:43,080 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 5: Then you filter down like, who's the next Signetti? Well,

1528
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:50,400
Speaker 5: maybe it's a guy who is an offensive minded guru

1529
01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 5: who is coming from a Big ten program, right like

1530
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,680
Speaker 5: it kind of he's kind of like a junior Signetti

1531
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:56,200
Speaker 5: in a sense.

1532
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 4: I think, yeah, we've got rich Orenberger Penn State, All

Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

1560
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:26,720
Speaker 1: Always start with you, Jared, with something you like.

1561
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:31,080
Speaker 5: How about a terry cloth row, we'll see. I think

1562
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 5: DJ Lagway is in for a big day to day

1563
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:36,160
Speaker 5: against Georgia. I'll to give you his passing yards crop

1564
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 5: over two forty and a half. So coming into the year,

1565
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,680
Speaker 5: I think DJ Lagway maybe had the most upside of

1566
01:18:40,720 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 5: any quarterback in the SEC. He was a sleeper Heisman candidate. Obviously,

1567
01:18:44,280 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 5: lack of consistency, poor health, it kind of derailed that

1568
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:49,160
Speaker 5: to the Billy Napier disaster. But now he has the

1569
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:52,040
Speaker 5: bye week new voice in his ear calling plays. Georgia's

1570
01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 5: defense been gettable this year. Outside the top ninety and

1571
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 5: ePaper pass outside the top one hundred, pressure eight, the

1572
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 5: Dogs have been torqued by quality quarterbacks. Our Simpson Chambli

1573
01:19:00,960 --> 01:19:02,920
Speaker 5: is all averaging over three hundred passing arts per game,

1574
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 5: and Lagway four and out of the over at this

1575
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 5: number against SEC opponents. So I think the Gators quarterback

1576
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 5: has a decent throwing day against the Doves.

1577
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 3: Oklahoma Tennessee. I'm gonna look toward the backfield in Oklahoma,

1578
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:20,679
Speaker 3: and it's not really because of what Oklahoma has done

1579
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 3: from a rushing standpoint. It's more of what Tennessee has

1580
01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:27,639
Speaker 3: done hasn't done from a rushing standpoint. They don't stop

1581
01:19:27,680 --> 01:19:30,760
Speaker 3: the inside zone. I think Oklahoma is going to use

1582
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:33,080
Speaker 3: that to their advantage. Play a little keep away here

1583
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 3: from a very dangerous Joey Aglar who's on the opposite

1584
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 3: side of the field, heaving the football downfield in that

1585
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 3: high powered balls offense. So give me Tory Blaylock over

1586
01:19:45,200 --> 01:19:48,720
Speaker 3: the forty seven and a half rushing total. I think

1587
01:19:48,720 --> 01:19:51,120
Speaker 3: he's gonna have a day out of the Sooner backfield.

1588
01:19:51,280 --> 01:19:54,040
Speaker 3: He's two games away from rushing for over one hundred yards.

1589
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 3: So I like Blaylock over forty seven and a half.

1590
01:19:57,720 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 4: Okay, I'll stick with the running back just like you.

1591
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with USC's King Miller. That's right, King

1592
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 4: Meets give me over eighty three and a half rushing

1593
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 4: yards against Nebraska in their shaky rush defense. I think

1594
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:13,360
Speaker 4: US can line up have some success in the running game.

1595
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,720
Speaker 4: We've got a couple of running backs who are banged up.

1596
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:16,799
Speaker 3: That helps King.

1597
01:20:16,720 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 4: Miller and his usage rate. He averages eight point one

1598
01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 4: yards per carry. So I like King Miller today. And listen, Jared,

1599
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 4: you're looking at DJ Lagway. This is a little bonus one.

1600
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:29,880
Speaker 4: You're looking at DJ Lagway over his passing yards and

1601
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:32,800
Speaker 4: I get it. But George's rush defense been really good.

1602
01:20:32,840 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 4: I kind of like jaden Baugh under sixty two and

1603
01:20:35,800 --> 01:20:37,600
Speaker 4: a half. I just don't think Florida is gonna be

1604
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:40,000
Speaker 4: able to run the ball very effectively today, So they're

1605
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 4: a little bonus for you.

1606
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:42,280
Speaker 5: Don't hate it all right?

1607
01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 1: Coming up next?

1608
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:44,680
Speaker 4: This team was supposed to be the real deal, but

1609
01:20:44,720 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 4: instead it's their opponent today.

1610
01:20:52,600 --> 01:20:53,439
Speaker 1: Oh what is going on?

1611
01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:57,559
Speaker 4: Happy Saturday to you, first day of November. We are

1612
01:20:57,760 --> 01:21:00,760
Speaker 4: less than an hour away from kick off over here,

1613
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 4: very much looking forward to it. How about in early

1614
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:09,000
Speaker 4: noon kickoff Eastern time. That'd be number nine Vanderbilt against

1615
01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:13,439
Speaker 4: number twenty Texas. Texas is a three point favorite. They're

1616
01:21:13,479 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 4: at home now. Texas was supposed to be the real

1617
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 4: deal preseason number one team in the country, but they

1618
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 4: they're that great. They've lost two games. They've had a

1619
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 4: couple of close overtime calls the last two weeks. Meanwhile, Vanderbilt,

1620
01:21:26,560 --> 01:21:29,720
Speaker 4: they've only lost one game on the road at Alabama

1621
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:32,960
Speaker 4: seven to one on the season top ten teams. So

1622
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,479
Speaker 4: Texas was supposed to be the real deal, and at

1623
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 4: least thus far, Vanderbilt has been better. Now this matchup,

1624
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 4: I'm curious what you guys think. I don't think it's

1625
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 4: a great matchup for Vanderbilt. Doesn't mean they're gonna lose,

1626
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:46,920
Speaker 4: but one of the things that you can do against

1627
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:50,120
Speaker 4: Texas's defense, and they've got a really really good defense.

1628
01:21:50,400 --> 01:21:54,520
Speaker 4: Is they can be exploited when opponents throw the ball downfield,

1629
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 4: and that's not really what Vanderbilt wants to do. It's

1630
01:21:58,160 --> 01:22:00,720
Speaker 4: not to say that Diego Pavia can do that, but

1631
01:22:01,720 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 4: they're not just airing it out like Tennessee, you know.

1632
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:05,560
Speaker 4: And so I don't know.

1633
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:06,759
Speaker 1: Vanderbilt is really.

1634
01:22:06,560 --> 01:22:11,880
Speaker 4: Gonna test Texas's weak spot defensively. And this is by

1635
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:15,920
Speaker 4: far the best defense that Vanderbilt has faced thus far.

1636
01:22:16,360 --> 01:22:17,599
Speaker 1: It's at least at the top of the list.

1637
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 4: Maybe not by far, but Texas's defense can get after it,

1638
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 4: and it's gonna be a tough test for Pavia and

1639
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:26,760
Speaker 4: company here today on the road against hook them.

1640
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree. I cannot wait to see the

1641
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:34,640
Speaker 3: matchup of Vandy's offense against this Texas defense, especially with

1642
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 3: the emergence of Macklin Young out of the Vandy backfield.

1643
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:43,280
Speaker 3: Because already Diego Pavia, who's a rushing threat, and then

1644
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt's running back Alexander Cidric Alexander, but with Young too,

1645
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 3: now they have kind of this dual headed monster out

1646
01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:54,919
Speaker 3: of the backfield with Pavia, who is a capable rusher,

1647
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:58,320
Speaker 3: and they become very difficult to defend because no matter

1648
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:01,880
Speaker 3: who's on the field, they can hurt you with explosives

1649
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 3: in the run game. And then what Pavi has been

1650
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:07,679
Speaker 3: able to do, obviously, like Brian alluded to, not pushing

1651
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 3: the ball down the field, but doing a nice job

1652
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 3: of being a distributor and a game manager in the

1653
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:18,799
Speaker 3: passing game has really helped this Vanderbilt team roll along

1654
01:23:18,880 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 3: and have great success and get Pavia's name a bunch

1655
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:25,599
Speaker 3: of Heisman hype. Then you look at Texas's defense, and

1656
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:29,680
Speaker 3: this is no slouchy group. I mean, upfront, they are

1657
01:23:30,160 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 3: alive and have a shot at the college football playoff

1658
01:23:32,760 --> 01:23:35,759
Speaker 3: only because of their defense and frankly their special teams

1659
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,280
Speaker 3: as well. Their offense has left something to be desired,

1660
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:41,679
Speaker 3: but they do a great job creating a pass rush.

1661
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:47,040
Speaker 3: They're great tacklers, which limits explosive plays. So that's gonna

1662
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:48,599
Speaker 3: be a little bit of a cat and mouse game

1663
01:23:48,600 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 3: with Vanderbilt, and so I think this is going to

1664
01:23:54,120 --> 01:23:57,560
Speaker 3: be the matchup to look at is when Vanderbilt's offense

1665
01:23:58,040 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 3: has the football kent text slow them down, and then

1666
01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:05,200
Speaker 3: you know, you look at halftime adjustments If that is

1667
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 3: the case in the first half, what kind of new

1668
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:10,200
Speaker 3: wrinkles are we gonna see out of Vanderbilt in the

1669
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:10,840
Speaker 3: second half.

1670
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:14,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm fascinated with this matchup. I think if you

1671
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 5: go back and you analyze this game from three months ago,

1672
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 5: you're like, Wow, Texas double digit favorite, this is game.

1673
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 5: Oh you blowout Arch Manning Heisman campaign like Vandy's. You know, good,

1674
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,759
Speaker 5: not great. The narratives on these two teams has completely flipped.

1675
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,720
Speaker 5: Whereas you know, to be fair to arch like he's

1676
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 5: going through concussion protocol this week. We'll see how much

1677
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 5: practice time he got. But I do think he's kind

1678
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,600
Speaker 5: of I don't want to say turned a corner, but

1679
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 5: I think he's settled down. People forget this is his

1680
01:24:45,360 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 5: eleventh college start to last year. This will be his

1681
01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:52,479
Speaker 5: ninth this year, not even a full season of starts

1682
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 5: under his belt, and yet we are crowning him as

1683
01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:59,280
Speaker 5: God's gift to college football. I think we need to

1684
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:02,000
Speaker 5: pump the brakes. I think Archie was right. He's gonna

1685
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:04,920
Speaker 5: come back next year. And next year might be the

1686
01:25:05,000 --> 01:25:08,240
Speaker 5: year of arch but this year is the year of growth.

1687
01:25:08,439 --> 01:25:11,280
Speaker 5: It's the year of development, and I think for Texas

1688
01:25:11,280 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 5: to win this game. Like Texas is very both of

1689
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 5: these teams. This is another College foball play ifflimination game.

1690
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 5: Vandy is obviously very live with one lost, Texas's too,

1691
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,639
Speaker 5: but Texas only has one SEC loss. Likely they're also

1692
01:25:22,800 --> 01:25:25,800
Speaker 5: live to make the SEC championship games. So I think

1693
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:29,960
Speaker 5: this is a huge stepping stone game for Texas. They've

1694
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 5: been kind of on the ropes the last couple of weeks.

1695
01:25:32,560 --> 01:25:34,639
Speaker 5: You want to knock the fact that they couldn't cover

1696
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 5: against Kentucky and they needed overtime against Mississippi State, and

1697
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:40,960
Speaker 5: sure they should have, you know, put some distance between

1698
01:25:40,960 --> 01:25:45,679
Speaker 5: themselves and those two teams, but maybe let's just baby steps.

1699
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 5: Like arch Manning led comeback in you know, a big

1700
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 5: comeback against Mississippi State. They were able to grind out

1701
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:54,120
Speaker 5: the win against Kentucky even though they didn't have their

1702
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 5: best off, Like, winning games in college football matters, and

1703
01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:58,880
Speaker 5: I think the fact that they were able to win

1704
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:02,679
Speaker 5: those games even they weren't as impressive, weren't as sexy

1705
01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:06,679
Speaker 5: as maybe the odds makers would have wanted. I still

1706
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 5: give them a lot of credit for that. I love

1707
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 5: the Texas front top ten in pass rush grade and

1708
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:16,840
Speaker 5: rush stop grade, So I don't know where Vandy's gonna

1709
01:26:16,840 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 5: really find that consistent offense. The one thing I need

1710
01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 5: to see from Vandy is their offensive lines the eighth

1711
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 5: lowest graded a line in the Power for this year.

1712
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 5: They struggled to protect Pavi last week against the really

1713
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 5: good Massoo front. Texas's front is in that category. So

1714
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:31,960
Speaker 5: Pavia to me, is gonna have to be a dude

1715
01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:33,479
Speaker 5: in this game. Like we talk about this from the

1716
01:26:33,520 --> 01:26:36,719
Speaker 5: Texas Tech Kansas State perspective, Texas Tech has the big

1717
01:26:36,800 --> 01:26:39,120
Speaker 5: edge in the trenches, but Kansas State has the great

1718
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,719
Speaker 5: equalizer and Avery Johnson who can make plays with his legs.

1719
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:44,519
Speaker 5: That's what Diego Pavi is gonna have to be in

1720
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:46,200
Speaker 5: this game. And I think I need to see more

1721
01:26:46,200 --> 01:26:48,639
Speaker 5: from the Texas run game too, arch Manning with his legs.

1722
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 5: I need to see Wisner and Baxter get going. But

1723
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 5: this game, to me, is going to be won in

1724
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:56,920
Speaker 5: the trenches, and which quarterback makes fewer mistakes.

1725
01:26:57,040 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 4: Mightd not be a ton of points in this game

1726
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 4: right kind of walk through it. Texas has no running game,

1727
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:07,400
Speaker 4: shaky offensive line. Arch Manning was in concussion protocol throughout

1728
01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:10,599
Speaker 4: the week based on last week's game, you know, hit

1729
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,200
Speaker 4: his head on the field pretty hard.

1730
01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:15,080
Speaker 1: And how about Texas.

1731
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:18,639
Speaker 4: They needed overtime against Kentucky and Mississippi State. Both those

1732
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,719
Speaker 4: teams are winless in the SEC. They're oh to nine

1733
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:25,400
Speaker 4: combined and tennis, and Texas is going to overtime with.

1734
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:29,000
Speaker 1: Both of those squads. So I won't go quite you know.

1735
01:27:29,040 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 4: Like nineteen eighties big ten slobber knocker here, you know,

1736
01:27:33,680 --> 01:27:37,160
Speaker 4: or like low scoring ten to six. But I just

1737
01:27:37,200 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 4: don't see a whole lot of points in this one.

1738
01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:41,800
Speaker 4: But it could still be a lot of fun. It

1739
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:43,360
Speaker 4: doesn't have to be a high scoring game to be

1740
01:27:43,360 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 4: a fun game.

1741
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty eight to seventeen, that'll still be. That'll be under.

1742
01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:51,680
Speaker 3: I think it was a total forty six and a

1743
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:54,400
Speaker 3: half right now. I mean that would just sneak under

1744
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:57,400
Speaker 3: the line. I could see that. I could absolutely see that.

1745
01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:05,400
Speaker 3: I could see Vanderbilt. Look, Vanderbilt is still scrappy in

1746
01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:08,599
Speaker 3: this conference there, even though they're getting a lot of

1747
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:12,200
Speaker 3: they're being lauded nationally and they're getting a lot of publicity.

1748
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 3: I still look at them as where they where they

1749
01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:21,720
Speaker 3: aren't Texas is the depth of their roster. Where they

1750
01:28:21,800 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 3: aren't Texas, or they are in Alabama, or they aren't

1751
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:28,720
Speaker 3: Georgia yet, or you know, I mean going to a

1752
01:28:28,800 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 3: different conference, you know, world away. But Ohio State is

1753
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:36,559
Speaker 3: the recruiting like Vanderbilt still is a school that's no

1754
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 3: more for you know, the scientists that they produce in

1755
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 3: the world than football players. You know, it's the Harvard

1756
01:28:44,320 --> 01:28:46,800
Speaker 3: of the Midwest or the South, whatever they call it.

1757
01:28:46,880 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 3: Like it's not. It's not necessarily one of those football

1758
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:55,160
Speaker 3: factories yet. Now, can that culture change? Absolutely, We've seen

1759
01:28:55,160 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 3: this before. Can Vanderbilt continue on the success for years

1760
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:02,840
Speaker 3: to come? But focusing on this year, I just don't

1761
01:29:02,880 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 3: think that they necessarily have the dogs in the fight yet,

1762
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:09,519
Speaker 3: But they do have the fight in the dog and

1763
01:29:09,560 --> 01:29:11,800
Speaker 3: this is a this is a team that knows how

1764
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:14,760
Speaker 3: to win. Like I said, they have an emergence of

1765
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:18,760
Speaker 3: another problem you have to solve offensively out of that backfield.

1766
01:29:19,479 --> 01:29:23,680
Speaker 3: I just think that Texas can overpower them in certain situations.

1767
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 3: So you know, going back to what Jared just mentioned

1768
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:28,280
Speaker 3: about the war and the trenches, I do think that

1769
01:29:28,360 --> 01:29:30,880
Speaker 3: this game could be one up front and I do

1770
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,200
Speaker 3: think for the most part, you would have to give

1771
01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 3: that edge to Texas because Texas is a more dominant

1772
01:29:37,920 --> 01:29:42,479
Speaker 3: team both scheme wise but also in in in the

1773
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:46,439
Speaker 3: athletes that they provide up front. There's there's you can't

1774
01:29:46,479 --> 01:29:50,320
Speaker 3: teach size and strength in season. You either have that

1775
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:50,960
Speaker 3: or you don't.

1776
01:29:52,680 --> 01:29:55,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the road element is gonna matter here too.

1777
01:29:56,280 --> 01:29:59,040
Speaker 5: Vandy's played two road games this year that have mattered.

1778
01:29:59,240 --> 01:30:02,640
Speaker 5: Right at South Carolina, they knocked Lenora Sellers out in

1779
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:05,040
Speaker 5: the second quarter, so you kind of have to grade

1780
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:09,799
Speaker 5: that one incomplete. And then the Bama game, they got handled.

1781
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 5: I mean that was Povey as low as QBR of

1782
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:16,240
Speaker 5: the Year. And I do think Bama's defense has some holes, right,

1783
01:30:16,280 --> 01:30:18,720
Speaker 5: we talk about them. They're gettable. Kane Wamick's got this

1784
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:21,600
Speaker 5: unique zone coverage game, and they're a little creacible in

1785
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:23,200
Speaker 5: the run game. We saw Vandy hit him for an

1786
01:30:23,200 --> 01:30:25,000
Speaker 5: explosive early in the game and take the lead. But

1787
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,040
Speaker 5: then I think I'm pretty sure Bama shut him out

1788
01:30:27,040 --> 01:30:29,519
Speaker 5: in the second half of that game. I think Texas's

1789
01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:32,080
Speaker 5: defense is better than Bama's. I do. And I think

1790
01:30:32,120 --> 01:30:33,640
Speaker 5: if you go back and you and you look at

1791
01:30:33,680 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 5: the stats of that Missoo game, I think, if if

1792
01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:41,280
Speaker 5: it's not Zalors at quarterback and it's Bopabulah. I think

1793
01:30:41,280 --> 01:30:44,599
Speaker 5: Missoo probably wins that game. So there is an element

1794
01:30:44,680 --> 01:30:48,559
Speaker 5: of how good is this Vandy team when you have

1795
01:30:48,600 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 5: to pack up and take your show on the road.

1796
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:54,200
Speaker 5: Life on the road in the SEC ain't no joke.

1797
01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 5: That's why what Bama has done this year, winning at

1798
01:30:56,600 --> 01:30:59,639
Speaker 5: Georgia and at Missouri deserves a lot and at South Carolina,

1799
01:30:59,640 --> 01:31:03,120
Speaker 5: which is all no picnic, it deserves all the credit

1800
01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:05,639
Speaker 5: in the world because life on the road in the

1801
01:31:05,760 --> 01:31:09,680
Speaker 5: SEC is very different than playing in your backyard. And

1802
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:13,200
Speaker 5: let's be honest, Vandy's home field advantage isn't exactly you know,

1803
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:16,960
Speaker 5: big house esque, So I think they're at a disadvantage

1804
01:31:16,960 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 5: with a lot of these intangibles. But Diego Pavia is

1805
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:24,280
Speaker 5: mister intangible. He could steal this game, no doubt about it,

1806
01:31:24,720 --> 01:31:27,320
Speaker 5: no doubt about it. When push comes to shove. I

1807
01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 5: would rather have Pavia than arch Manning. I would And

1808
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:34,360
Speaker 5: that sounds crazy, crazy, but at this level of clutchness,

1809
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 5: at this level of their career, maybe I changed my

1810
01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:39,679
Speaker 5: answer next year, but at this stage of their careers,

1811
01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 5: I think Diego Paby has got a little more the

1812
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:45,559
Speaker 5: it factor. However, he has the deck stacked against him

1813
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 5: in this game. We talked about Vandy's OH line. We

1814
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:50,719
Speaker 5: know Texas's defense is elite and they're on the road

1815
01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 5: in a must win situation for the Longhorns. Vandy could

1816
01:31:54,000 --> 01:31:56,519
Speaker 5: still drop this game, finish ten to two and make

1817
01:31:56,520 --> 01:31:59,400
Speaker 5: the playoff. So I think there is an element of

1818
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:01,920
Speaker 5: the numbers ten all. Texas is the better team. They've

1819
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:05,400
Speaker 5: got the urgency on their side because they've got two

1820
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:08,799
Speaker 5: losses and Vandy's got one. And I think that trench battle,

1821
01:32:08,840 --> 01:32:11,160
Speaker 5: I think it really favors the Longhorns here, and I

1822
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 5: think that's what's gonna win this game for Texas in

1823
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:13,639
Speaker 5: the end.

1824
01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:17,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I think, uh, listen, I think Vanderbilt has

1825
01:32:17,680 --> 01:32:21,200
Speaker 4: built up their program enough where this isn't like a

1826
01:32:21,240 --> 01:32:26,120
Speaker 4: sleepy spot for Texas right Like, and the crowd, I mean,

1827
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 4: the team is gonna be up for this game, for sure,

1828
01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:30,280
Speaker 4: they have to have it. But the crowd, I mean,

1829
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:32,920
Speaker 4: in years past, it'd be like we got Vanderbilt, like,

1830
01:32:33,000 --> 01:32:35,679
Speaker 4: oh gosh, and it's just a sleepy crowd. I don't

1831
01:32:35,680 --> 01:32:36,720
Speaker 4: think it's gonna be like that.

1832
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 5: Now.

1833
01:32:37,160 --> 01:32:39,519
Speaker 4: Vanderbilt is a top ten team. They're seven and one.

1834
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:44,000
Speaker 4: They've got some quality wins. Diego Pavia is a name, right, like,

1835
01:32:44,520 --> 01:32:47,759
Speaker 4: so I don't think this is just like a yawning

1836
01:32:47,960 --> 01:32:50,479
Speaker 4: type crowd. I think they're gonna be into it, which,

1837
01:32:50,520 --> 01:32:53,400
Speaker 4: to your point, Jared, makes life tougher for Vanderbilt on

1838
01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:53,840
Speaker 4: the road.

1839
01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:57,120
Speaker 1: I do love creasible. I do have to highlight that.

1840
01:32:57,240 --> 01:32:59,440
Speaker 4: What a word rut by you, increacible.

1841
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:02,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'll tell you what, Yeah that is.

1842
01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:08,240
Speaker 3: I've been described that way in my past. Unfortunately, Yeah, this, Uh,

1843
01:33:08,600 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 3: I agree with that. I think that the Vanderbilt's not

1844
01:33:12,720 --> 01:33:16,800
Speaker 3: sneaking up on anybody, No, not anymore, right, and and

1845
01:33:16,840 --> 01:33:22,200
Speaker 3: that's that's uh. And and that's where again, look, you

1846
01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:24,080
Speaker 3: know how I was talking about the offensive line, the

1847
01:33:24,200 --> 01:33:28,839
Speaker 3: edge going to the the the lines size and strength,

1848
01:33:28,920 --> 01:33:32,040
Speaker 3: and some of their ability and play over the course

1849
01:33:32,080 --> 01:33:35,679
Speaker 3: of the season to Texas. Also, just remember that any

1850
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 3: player who went to Texas, uh, many of them four

1851
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:42,960
Speaker 3: five star recruits, many of them lauded out of high school,

1852
01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:47,360
Speaker 3: transferred in because they were stars at a different program,

1853
01:33:48,160 --> 01:33:51,880
Speaker 3: have been there enjoying the limelight and basking in the

1854
01:33:51,920 --> 01:33:56,559
Speaker 3: warm globe of national attention. Arch Manning is there. You'll

1855
01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 3: have celebrities on the sideline. Matthew McConaughey out there, you

1856
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:03,040
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like Texas players are used to

1857
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,800
Speaker 3: the spotlight, like they are used to all of this

1858
01:34:05,960 --> 01:34:12,080
Speaker 3: limelight and the glimmer of national attension. The commodore is Vanderbilt.

1859
01:34:13,040 --> 01:34:15,679
Speaker 3: These players have to get used to this, like it's

1860
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 3: not easy to step into that world and then just say, man,

1861
01:34:19,960 --> 01:34:23,120
Speaker 3: you know, stardom's for us. We're gonna figure it out

1862
01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 3: at the top. No, there's bumps in the road, and

1863
01:34:26,040 --> 01:34:30,080
Speaker 3: this is a really active and raucous road venue when

1864
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:34,720
Speaker 3: the fan base knows it's an important game. Trust me

1865
01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:38,240
Speaker 3: when I tell you the Longhorn fan base understands how

1866
01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:40,920
Speaker 3: important this win would be for them if they knock

1867
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,400
Speaker 3: off Vanderbilt the way they're playing right now. So I

1868
01:34:43,439 --> 01:34:46,760
Speaker 3: completely agree with that. That is an edge that distinctly

1869
01:34:46,880 --> 01:34:49,400
Speaker 3: goes to the way of Texas in this one.

1870
01:34:50,200 --> 01:34:52,320
Speaker 5: What a crazy year in the SEC. I mean, I

1871
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,080
Speaker 5: so heading into the year, I thought parody was the

1872
01:34:55,120 --> 01:34:57,360
Speaker 5: name of the game, and I'm right. The problem is

1873
01:34:57,640 --> 01:35:01,439
Speaker 5: the difference between the and the have nots. The gap

1874
01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:04,280
Speaker 5: is so wide this year, Like you draw the line

1875
01:35:04,320 --> 01:35:08,160
Speaker 5: probably right and around Florida. You know anyone above Florida,

1876
01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:10,720
Speaker 5: I'll read you the teams A and M Bama, Georgia, Ole,

1877
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:13,960
Speaker 5: miss Vandy, Texas, Tennessee, Missoo, Oklahoma. All of those teams

1878
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:17,240
Speaker 5: are sitting on two losses. All of those teams could

1879
01:35:17,240 --> 01:35:19,080
Speaker 5: potentially and I know they all play each other, so

1880
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:23,400
Speaker 5: there'll be some you know, cross pollination. But I thought

1881
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:27,160
Speaker 5: under three and a half teams with ten or more

1882
01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 5: wins in the SEC was a very good bet. This year.

1883
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:33,120
Speaker 5: There might be five teams in the SEC that win

1884
01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:37,080
Speaker 5: ten this year, and you cannot keep out a ten

1885
01:35:37,160 --> 01:35:40,200
Speaker 5: win SEC team from the Collegewell playoff. People are gonna

1886
01:35:40,240 --> 01:35:42,639
Speaker 5: be so mad when the entire Collegewell Playoff is all

1887
01:35:42,800 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 5: SEC and Big ten at largest and the ACC gets

1888
01:35:45,479 --> 01:35:47,800
Speaker 5: one team their winner, the Big twelve gets one team

1889
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:51,599
Speaker 5: their winner, and Notre Dame. Like, I really think the

1890
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:55,880
Speaker 5: SEC is just so deep this year, A and M Bama, Georgia, Ole,

1891
01:35:55,920 --> 01:36:00,439
Speaker 5: Miss Bandy, Texas, Tennessee, Missouri all with two losses less

1892
01:36:00,560 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 5: it is November, like this is a very good top

1893
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:08,559
Speaker 5: of the conference. Texas and Vandy are two very good teams,

1894
01:36:08,600 --> 01:36:09,880
Speaker 5: and one of them is not going to make the

1895
01:36:09,880 --> 01:36:11,800
Speaker 5: playoff because they're playing each other today and you can't

1896
01:36:11,840 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 5: keep them both in. So I am very fascinated to

1897
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:17,719
Speaker 5: see if Texas can kind of get back to the form.

1898
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:20,160
Speaker 5: And I do think if you're asking me to buy

1899
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:22,800
Speaker 5: low on a stock, I would buy low on Arch Manning.

1900
01:36:22,800 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 5: Am I willing to buy the peak like we were

1901
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 5: in the summer? No, but now he's a field goal

1902
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:28,679
Speaker 5: favorite at home against Vandy. Yeah, I think I'm willing

1903
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:30,080
Speaker 5: to buy some Arch stock at that price.

1904
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:33,080
Speaker 4: I want to go back to something that Rich said,

1905
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:36,400
Speaker 4: because I like what you said about Vanderbilts getting used

1906
01:36:36,439 --> 01:36:40,599
Speaker 4: to the limelight when Texas they've known nothing but the limelight, right,

1907
01:36:40,640 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 4: and it matters in a matchup like this. The one

1908
01:36:43,080 --> 01:36:45,680
Speaker 4: thing I would add to that is I do like

1909
01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:49,719
Speaker 4: Vandy's head coach Clark Lee, because I think he's really

1910
01:36:49,760 --> 01:36:52,960
Speaker 4: well suited for moments like this where he reminds me

1911
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:55,200
Speaker 4: of Gene Hackman in the movie Hoosiers.

1912
01:36:55,280 --> 01:36:56,960
Speaker 1: You know, I could just see.

1913
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:59,240
Speaker 4: Clark Lee saying, Hey, the football field's still one hundred

1914
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:03,120
Speaker 4: yards low, right, Like nothing changes right just because this

1915
01:37:03,240 --> 01:37:05,640
Speaker 4: is a big game. It's still ten yards for a

1916
01:37:05,720 --> 01:37:08,280
Speaker 4: first down, Guys, It's still the right like. I think

1917
01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:11,679
Speaker 4: he would downplay, like we got to do stuff different

1918
01:37:11,720 --> 01:37:14,040
Speaker 4: because we're on a bigger stage, we're playing against Texas.

1919
01:37:14,479 --> 01:37:17,240
Speaker 4: I think he's just matter of fact going about his business.

1920
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 4: I think that serves him well, like instead of saying, hey,

1921
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:23,280
Speaker 4: the baskets are still ten feet high, right like, I

1922
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:24,000
Speaker 4: think he would.

1923
01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:25,839
Speaker 1: Do that just in football terms.

1924
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:28,920
Speaker 4: And I think that serves Vandy well because as soon

1925
01:37:28,960 --> 01:37:33,479
Speaker 4: as they start thinking like, man, this is big time here, no, man,

1926
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:35,960
Speaker 4: just do your thing, Like Vanderbilt's good enough to just

1927
01:37:36,040 --> 01:37:39,200
Speaker 4: do their thing against Texas and win. So I don't

1928
01:37:39,200 --> 01:37:41,840
Speaker 4: think they have to do anything fancy. And I think

1929
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:43,600
Speaker 4: that starts with clark Lee. I think he does a

1930
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:45,640
Speaker 4: great job setting the tone for them.

1931
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:49,080
Speaker 3: I agree. I think he's a really talented coach. I mean,

1932
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:52,880
Speaker 3: the proof is in the output, and the results are

1933
01:37:52,920 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 3: the lagging indicator of a great process, and I think

1934
01:37:57,040 --> 01:38:01,280
Speaker 3: Clark Lee has a great process. There are certain things

1935
01:38:01,320 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 3: that you can't prepare your team for, and I know

1936
01:38:04,360 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 3: he's aware of that too. And these may be some

1937
01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:09,599
Speaker 3: of those moments, you know, going into Texas, into their

1938
01:38:09,640 --> 01:38:13,639
Speaker 3: home and stealing from the candy Bowl here on Halloween weekend,

1939
01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:16,280
Speaker 3: I mean, are you gonna be able to leave the

1940
01:38:16,320 --> 01:38:19,400
Speaker 3: front yard when you full well knew if the sign

1941
01:38:19,439 --> 01:38:22,519
Speaker 3: said take one, you took a whole handful. Right, Maybe

1942
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:25,280
Speaker 3: you took a couple of handfuls that we'll find out.

1943
01:38:25,280 --> 01:38:26,759
Speaker 3: We'll find out in Austin today.

1944
01:38:27,000 --> 01:38:28,160
Speaker 5: Slow feet, don't eat.

1945
01:38:28,880 --> 01:38:31,160
Speaker 1: Hey, that's awesome, that's right.

1946

Speaker 1: Top of your screen.

1968
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:38,320
Speaker 4: It's a phrase you might not have seen coming this week.

1969
01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:42,400
Speaker 4: That would be money flowing in on the Nitney Lions.

1970
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:46,519
Speaker 4: How about that huh down to a seventeen and a

1971
01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:47,920
Speaker 4: half point favorite.

1972
01:39:47,960 --> 01:39:50,200
Speaker 1: That would be the Ohio State Buckeyes.

1973
01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:53,400
Speaker 4: But there's been steady Penn State money coming in here,

1974
01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:56,000
Speaker 4: So Penn State on the road. Penn State is three

1975
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:59,439
Speaker 4: and four, losing record Ohio State, number one team in

1976
01:39:59,479 --> 01:40:02,400
Speaker 4: the country, seven to zero. But I'll tell you what

1977
01:40:02,920 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 4: you know, I'll put my Nitney Lyons hat on. I

1978
01:40:06,600 --> 01:40:10,040
Speaker 4: think the recipe not necessarily for an upset, like an

1979
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:12,519
Speaker 4: outright win that would take it a lot, but the

1980
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 4: recipe for a cover at least, I think it starts

1981
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:19,599
Speaker 4: with Ohio State just doesn't run the ball well right,

1982
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:21,840
Speaker 4: and I don't think they're gonna have a ton of

1983
01:40:22,000 --> 01:40:25,800
Speaker 4: success against Penn State today. And look, I look at

1984
01:40:25,800 --> 01:40:28,639
Speaker 4: the passing game Julian Sayan has done a really good job.

1985
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:31,400
Speaker 4: He's got some great weapons to throw too. So it's

1986
01:40:31,439 --> 01:40:35,400
Speaker 4: easier said than done to slow down Ohio State's passing attack.

1987
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:39,640
Speaker 4: But if you're not able to run the ball effectively

1988
01:40:40,400 --> 01:40:44,240
Speaker 4: and you're just one dimensional, maybe there's a game where

1989
01:40:44,600 --> 01:40:47,360
Speaker 4: the passing game just isn't clicking. That happens a lot

1990
01:40:47,400 --> 01:40:49,960
Speaker 4: in football. You see it at the college level, the

1991
01:40:50,080 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 4: NFL level, Like, man, how are you gonna slow down

1992
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:55,679
Speaker 4: this dynamic passing attack? And that game just wasn't their game.

1993
01:40:56,160 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 4: I think of it like outside shooting in basketball. You know,

1994
01:40:59,520 --> 01:41:01,920
Speaker 4: if you don't have an interior game, if you can't

1995
01:41:01,960 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 4: get easy buckets near the rim and you're just shooting

1996
01:41:05,360 --> 01:41:09,080
Speaker 4: threes and like you know, mid range long two's that

1997
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 4: sort of thing, you're gonna be calld one game and

1998
01:41:11,920 --> 01:41:14,800
Speaker 4: then what you know. So I think the recipe for

1999
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 4: a cover it can start with Ohio State doesn't run

2000
01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:21,040
Speaker 4: the ball very effectively, and if Penn State can just

2001
01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:23,919
Speaker 4: build on that, you know, maybe they cover the seventeen

2002
01:41:24,000 --> 01:41:24,479
Speaker 4: and a half.

2003
01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:29,800
Speaker 3: It would be cool to cover. It would be even

2004
01:41:29,880 --> 01:41:34,400
Speaker 3: cooler to win. You know, again, speaking from the perspective

2005
01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:38,000
Speaker 3: first of this being my alma mater. That's in veritable

2006
01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:42,400
Speaker 3: free fall about forty three million dollars lighter while doing it.

2007
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 3: After parting ways with James Franklin, I look, this is

2008
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:52,080
Speaker 3: an uphill climb at best to slow down an offense

2009
01:41:52,200 --> 01:41:56,000
Speaker 3: that's so confident. Yeah, they're not great at everything, but

2010
01:41:56,040 --> 01:41:58,479
Speaker 3: they're great at one of the most important things, and

2011
01:41:58,520 --> 01:42:02,040
Speaker 3: that's scoring points. Finding ways to put the ball in

2012
01:42:02,040 --> 01:42:03,760
Speaker 3: the end zone. And I don't care if it's through

2013
01:42:03,800 --> 01:42:07,360
Speaker 3: the air, or if it's using gadget plays, or if

2014
01:42:07,360 --> 01:42:10,599
Speaker 3: sometimes it's even special teams or defense getting the scoring done.

2015
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:15,640
Speaker 3: This team has a tendency of piling up points in

2016
01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:20,320
Speaker 3: really quick fashion. And this defense, you know, they lost

2017
01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:25,960
Speaker 3: Rojas from the linebacking position, which obviously fortified the edge

2018
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:29,960
Speaker 3: of the defense. But the middle of this defense, the secondary,

2019
01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:33,200
Speaker 3: which is one of the more elite groups in the country,

2020
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:37,480
Speaker 3: has been had. You know, there have been some quarterbacks

2021
01:42:37,479 --> 01:42:41,160
Speaker 3: who have poked some major holes through that secondary. The

2022
01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:45,400
Speaker 3: running game for Penn State has been so quiet going

2023
01:42:45,439 --> 01:42:48,840
Speaker 3: into the season. One of the reasons why they were

2024
01:42:48,960 --> 01:42:51,280
Speaker 3: ranked so highly. I mean, it was Texas and Penn

2025
01:42:51,360 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 3: State like one and two on virtually every list, and

2026
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:57,040
Speaker 3: it's because of Singleton and Allen, who have had some

2027
01:42:57,160 --> 01:43:00,519
Speaker 3: of the quietest seasons you could ever have for a

2028
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:03,720
Speaker 3: duo as dynamic as they've been over the course of

2029
01:43:03,720 --> 01:43:06,400
Speaker 3: their career. Not a lot great you could say about

2030
01:43:06,439 --> 01:43:10,599
Speaker 3: Penn State. On the flip side, Ohio State, a lot

2031
01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:12,920
Speaker 3: of people were questioning whether or not a young quarterback

2032
01:43:12,960 --> 01:43:17,920
Speaker 3: could step into such a big role and have success. Well,

2033
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:21,960
Speaker 3: where Arch Manning has failed, Julian San has managed the

2034
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:25,040
Speaker 3: situation extremely well. And while the run game hasn't been

2035
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:28,360
Speaker 3: unbelievably supportive, he's done enough to buoy this offense. And

2036
01:43:28,400 --> 01:43:33,519
Speaker 3: this defense has been outstanding, even though they lost their

2037
01:43:33,560 --> 01:43:39,519
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator a year ago. Yeah, the Ohio State is

2038
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:42,600
Speaker 3: most likely gonna win by a million. Now do I

2039
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:45,800
Speaker 3: want that to be the outcome? No? But they cover,

2040
01:43:46,160 --> 01:43:49,960
Speaker 3: and great teams cover, and Ohio State is a great team.

2041
01:43:50,760 --> 01:43:55,640
Speaker 5: This line is disrespectful. I'm sorry it is this is

2042
01:43:56,080 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 5: this is disrespectful. This number was four over the summer four.

2043
01:44:03,520 --> 01:44:09,519
Speaker 5: It opened Ohio State minus four. And again, let's put

2044
01:44:09,560 --> 01:44:12,559
Speaker 5: it in perspective for a minute. Georgia opened as a

2045
01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:15,560
Speaker 5: nine and a half point favorite against Florida back in

2046
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:19,080
Speaker 5: I think it was June or July. Florida has fired

2047
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 5: their head coach. Check. Penn State fired their head coach.

2048
01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:26,839
Speaker 5: Check Florida's quarterback situation. Clearly, DJ Lagway is still healthy.

2049
01:44:27,240 --> 01:44:30,479
Speaker 5: He's still playing, but he has not played well. He

2050
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 5: has clearly been below expectation, significantly below expectation. Yet the

2051
01:44:36,240 --> 01:44:39,960
Speaker 5: number is seven today between the Gators and the Bulldogs.

2052
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 5: Penn State's defense is still healthy. I know Rojas is hurt,

2053
01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:46,280
Speaker 5: but their defensive line is still elite. They still have

2054
01:44:46,400 --> 01:44:50,040
Speaker 5: everyone else intact, with the exception of the quarterback. Yes,

2055
01:44:50,080 --> 01:44:52,800
Speaker 5: you make a significant drop off for Drew Allet or

2056
01:44:52,800 --> 01:44:55,840
Speaker 5: grunk Meyer. Maybe it's a touchdown, Maybe it's four to

2057
01:44:55,920 --> 01:44:59,240
Speaker 5: seven points in that range, I would say, you're still

2058
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:04,559
Speaker 5: not getting to eighteen, like, like, why has this number

2059
01:45:04,640 --> 01:45:07,280
Speaker 5: moved so much? That is why the sharps are coming

2060
01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:09,720
Speaker 5: in on Penn State today. It's not because they think

2061
01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:12,920
Speaker 5: Penn State's gonna win. It's not because they think the

2062
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:16,960
Speaker 5: Nitney Lions are all the rage right now. It's based

2063
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:21,160
Speaker 5: solely on the disrespectful number. Now, to be fair to

2064
01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:25,839
Speaker 5: Ohio State, their defense has a significant edge in this matchup.

2065
01:45:26,280 --> 01:45:28,880
Speaker 5: I just don't know what the path is for Penn

2066
01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:31,479
Speaker 5: State to score points. It's gonna have to be a

2067
01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:34,519
Speaker 5: lot of running, maybe a couple of big plays on

2068
01:45:34,600 --> 01:45:37,639
Speaker 5: defense that sets up short fields, maybe a special teams

2069
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:41,639
Speaker 5: play like it's gonna have to come from the heavens above.

2070
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:43,360
Speaker 4: I don't know.

2071
01:45:44,080 --> 01:45:47,320
Speaker 5: I don't know how Penn State's scoring today. Yeah, but

2072
01:45:47,439 --> 01:45:52,400
Speaker 5: if you're basing this solely on the number, this number

2073
01:45:52,560 --> 01:45:55,400
Speaker 5: is disrespectful and rich. I know you know this. These

2074
01:45:55,520 --> 01:45:58,679
Speaker 5: kids know what the spread is. You don't think Penn

2075
01:45:58,720 --> 01:46:02,639
Speaker 5: State's players are looking at the spread today and say,

2076
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:06,240
Speaker 5: we're how big of an underdog against Ohio State. So

2077
01:46:06,680 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 5: I think that plays into it as well. And you

2078
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 5: just have to play the game of your life, like

2079
01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:13,519
Speaker 5: you know, you just have to go out there and

2080
01:46:13,600 --> 01:46:16,160
Speaker 5: block out all the naysayers. Grunck Meyer is going to

2081
01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:17,439
Speaker 5: have to figure out a way to complete a few

2082
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:21,519
Speaker 5: passes and get comfortable, and you've got to hold up defensively. Now,

2083
01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:24,519
Speaker 5: there is one hope for Penn State, Brian, There is

2084
01:46:24,560 --> 01:46:28,080
Speaker 5: one hope. When I watched the Ohio State's offense this year,

2085
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:32,360
Speaker 5: I have noticed some inconsistencies on their offensive line. It

2086
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 5: is not elite on the offensive line, They're good, not great.

2087
01:46:37,120 --> 01:46:39,639
Speaker 5: I would say Penn State's defensive line is the strength

2088
01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:41,840
Speaker 5: of their team. So if you want to talk about

2089
01:46:41,840 --> 01:46:46,040
Speaker 5: the path to covering it is turn Ohio State's offense

2090
01:46:46,080 --> 01:46:48,360
Speaker 5: into a one dimensional offense where you back off the

2091
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage, you let your front four stop the run,

2092
01:46:50,600 --> 01:46:52,920
Speaker 5: you take away the big explosive play from Jeremiah Smith

2093
01:46:52,920 --> 01:46:56,040
Speaker 5: and Carnell Tate, and you hope that you can create

2094
01:46:56,080 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 5: some kind of havoc, some kind of turnover that gives

2095
01:46:58,400 --> 01:47:00,439
Speaker 5: your offense a short field. That is the path with

2096
01:47:00,520 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 5: Anny lines today.

2097
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:05,360
Speaker 4: Man, I'll tell you what I think for Penn State's offense.

2098
01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:09,160
Speaker 4: Staying on schedule is so important, right, you guys have

2099
01:47:09,200 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 4: basically both alluded to this where I think Jared you

2100
01:47:12,920 --> 01:47:15,479
Speaker 4: said it, where Penn State's gonna be running the ball

2101
01:47:15,600 --> 01:47:18,080
Speaker 4: quite a bit. You've got grunk Meyer in there taking

2102
01:47:18,120 --> 01:47:22,360
Speaker 4: over for an injured Drew Aller. Grunk Meyer's passing prop.

2103
01:47:22,439 --> 01:47:24,880
Speaker 1: Have you seen this? It's one thirty one.

2104
01:47:24,760 --> 01:47:26,760
Speaker 5: And I still might go.

2105
01:47:26,760 --> 01:47:29,520
Speaker 4: Out one thirty one and a half.

2106
01:47:29,280 --> 01:47:31,080
Speaker 3: Sous to it.

2107
01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:34,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, So if it's if it's third and two, we're

2108
01:47:34,479 --> 01:47:38,559
Speaker 4: running it. You know, at Penn State, if it's third

2109
01:47:38,600 --> 01:47:41,040
Speaker 4: and eleven, it's like, oh, we're running it.

2110
01:47:43,320 --> 01:47:44,400
Speaker 1: We're running it still.

2111
01:47:44,560 --> 01:47:47,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, Man, if it's third and long, you got to

2112
01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:50,360
Speaker 4: stay on schedule. Third and long is death for Penn

2113
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:53,880
Speaker 4: State today unless you know, like again, the offense is

2114
01:47:53,920 --> 01:47:56,800
Speaker 4: coming from the heavens here. Ohio State's defense has been

2115
01:47:56,960 --> 01:48:01,479
Speaker 4: that elite. They have been out stay. So yeah, the

2116
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:05,160
Speaker 4: path two points is a little dicey for Penn State here.

2117
01:48:06,000 --> 01:48:10,240
Speaker 3: Yeah. And Matt Patricia, the mad Scientist defensive coordinator, I

2118
01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:14,880
Speaker 3: know he took a lot of flack, and deservedly so

2119
01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:17,479
Speaker 3: because it wasn't a great outing as a head coach

2120
01:48:17,600 --> 01:48:21,720
Speaker 3: with Detroit. He spent a little time obviously in the

2121
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:26,719
Speaker 3: NFL as an assistant and then a defensive coordinator again

2122
01:48:27,280 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 3: before finding his way to Ohio State. And he's done

2123
01:48:30,240 --> 01:48:34,160
Speaker 3: some really special things with this Buckey's defense and as

2124
01:48:34,160 --> 01:48:38,120
Speaker 3: a result, you know, this is what I know about

2125
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:42,880
Speaker 3: Patricia as a coordinator because I was coached by him.

2126
01:48:42,920 --> 01:48:45,240
Speaker 3: I was in New England with him when he was there.

2127
01:48:46,360 --> 01:48:49,719
Speaker 3: He's a great game planner. So if you do something well,

2128
01:48:50,080 --> 01:48:51,920
Speaker 3: they're going to find a way to make it so

2129
01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:55,360
Speaker 3: you can't do that, make you take away whatever. Your

2130
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:58,880
Speaker 3: best asset is to force you to do the things

2131
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:02,400
Speaker 3: that you're uncomfortable with. Ye if you don't do something, well,

2132
01:49:02,880 --> 01:49:07,479
Speaker 3: well guess what it's gonna get even harder. So clearly

2133
01:49:07,520 --> 01:49:09,559
Speaker 3: Penn State doesn't want to throw the football. They don't

2134
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:13,439
Speaker 3: want to, so guess what Ohio State's gonna do make them.

2135
01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:18,599
Speaker 3: They're going to absolutely pack the box. It is going

2136
01:49:18,640 --> 01:49:21,479
Speaker 3: to be. I mean, you you would be ignorant not

2137
01:49:21,520 --> 01:49:23,719
Speaker 3: to throw the fall. You have to throw the football.

2138
01:49:23,760 --> 01:49:26,479
Speaker 3: But they know Penn State won't throw the football, and

2139
01:49:26,560 --> 01:49:29,240
Speaker 3: so they're going to dare them to throw. And they're

2140
01:49:29,240 --> 01:49:31,640
Speaker 3: gonna say, our athletes are better than your athletes on

2141
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:34,280
Speaker 3: the outside, and so we are not worried about you

2142
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:36,400
Speaker 3: throwing the football. We know your quarterback is gonna get

2143
01:49:36,479 --> 01:49:39,080
Speaker 3: rattled because we're gonna get to them. And so it's

2144
01:49:39,120 --> 01:49:41,760
Speaker 3: gonna be that kind of day for Penn State. I

2145
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:44,400
Speaker 3: don't really see a path. I was talking to my

2146
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:47,479
Speaker 3: father in law actually, who's also a Penn State or two.

2147
01:49:47,840 --> 01:49:50,200
Speaker 3: He's like, is there anyway? He was like, I mean,

2148
01:49:50,320 --> 01:49:54,679
Speaker 3: is there anyway? And I said, you know, I don't

2149
01:49:54,680 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 3: think so. And I'm a I'm a I'm a glass

2150
01:49:58,160 --> 01:50:01,160
Speaker 3: half full kind of guy. I'm like, the only positive

2151
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:03,759
Speaker 3: that could possibly come out of this for Penn State.

2152
01:50:03,800 --> 01:50:06,439
Speaker 3: And I do mean this because there is some argument

2153
01:50:06,479 --> 01:50:11,439
Speaker 3: to make is desperation. It's a stinky cologne, but it

2154
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:15,680
Speaker 3: also forces the hands of rich donors to dig a

2155
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:19,639
Speaker 3: little bit deeper. So if there is Canada A versus B,

2156
01:50:20,160 --> 01:50:22,760
Speaker 3: and Canada A is asking for the moon and that

2157
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:25,639
Speaker 3: is the only reason why you go with Canada B.

2158
01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:28,880
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, Canada all of a sudden, is

2159
01:50:28,920 --> 01:50:32,760
Speaker 3: looking a lot better if you sustain a three win

2160
01:50:32,960 --> 01:50:35,360
Speaker 3: record throughout as opposed to if you have a late

2161
01:50:35,439 --> 01:50:38,960
Speaker 3: surge under head coach Terry Smith. So I don't know

2162
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:41,200
Speaker 3: if I'm even rooting for a win. If you have

2163
01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:42,360
Speaker 3: a rooting interest in.

2164
01:50:42,240 --> 01:50:44,680
Speaker 5: This, stop wow, I hope. I don't want them to

2165
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:47,240
Speaker 5: get embarrassed. I do think there is a level of

2166
01:50:47,280 --> 01:50:49,960
Speaker 5: disrespect that Penn State will take personally. Here Again, this

2167
01:50:50,080 --> 01:50:53,200
Speaker 5: line was four over the summer, it's now eighteen. I

2168
01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:55,759
Speaker 5: do think it comes to a point where the market

2169
01:50:55,760 --> 01:50:57,719
Speaker 5: gets too stretched. And to be fair, Penn State's actually

2170
01:50:57,720 --> 01:50:59,479
Speaker 5: done well in this spot. Is a double digital I

2171
01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:01,559
Speaker 5: they cover a lot as a double digit dog. I

2172
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:06,559
Speaker 5: was looking. It doesn't happen often, so they've covered four

2173
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:08,639
Speaker 5: straight as a two plus touchdown dog. It's the biggest

2174
01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:10,599
Speaker 5: bread in a penns Day game since twenty twenty one,

2175
01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:12,519
Speaker 5: when they were an eighteen and a half point dog

2176
01:51:12,560 --> 01:51:15,160
Speaker 5: in Columbus they lost by nine. In twenty nineteen, they

2177
01:51:15,200 --> 01:51:19,960
Speaker 5: were a twenty point dog against Ohio State in Columbus

2178
01:51:20,040 --> 01:51:22,639
Speaker 5: and they lost by twelve or exuse me, by eleven.

2179
01:51:22,880 --> 01:51:27,160
Speaker 5: So again, they tend to cover these numbers. I'll give

2180
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:29,760
Speaker 5: some love. We're not just going to go completely on

2181
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:31,280
Speaker 5: the Penn State side of the argument here. I'll give

2182
01:51:31,280 --> 01:51:34,280
Speaker 5: some love to Ohio State. I think Julian saying deserves

2183
01:51:34,320 --> 01:51:39,200
Speaker 5: a lot of credit. You just you're replacing a national

2184
01:51:39,320 --> 01:51:41,439
Speaker 5: championship court. You know, you're a quarterback, and I know

2185
01:51:41,479 --> 01:51:43,360
Speaker 5: Will Howard wasn't like, you know, the second coming of

2186
01:51:43,400 --> 01:51:45,680
Speaker 5: Jesus in terms of, you know, quarterbacking. But still they

2187
01:51:45,680 --> 01:51:49,000
Speaker 5: won a national championship last year. You're the replacement. They've

2188
01:51:49,000 --> 01:51:52,439
Speaker 5: done a really good job in steadying this ship. This

2189
01:51:52,479 --> 01:51:54,280
Speaker 5: is an Ohio State offense that doesn't have a lot

2190
01:51:54,280 --> 01:51:55,920
Speaker 5: of holes, with the exception of the right side of

2191
01:51:55,960 --> 01:51:59,080
Speaker 5: their offensive line. But Julian's saying fun fact, you may

2192
01:51:59,160 --> 01:52:01,360
Speaker 5: or and out know this. He leads the nation in

2193
01:52:01,400 --> 01:52:04,720
Speaker 5: completion rate eighty percent on the year. He is very consistent.

2194
01:52:04,880 --> 01:52:07,599
Speaker 5: He is a very gifted thrower, isn't afraid to put

2195
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 5: it in the tight windows. He takes calculated risks. The

2196
01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:13,240
Speaker 5: average depth of target is not very high, eight and

2197
01:52:13,280 --> 01:52:17,200
Speaker 5: a half. That's about average nationally. But again, they run

2198
01:52:17,200 --> 01:52:20,400
Speaker 5: a lot of RPOs. They're very consistent with getting the ball,

2199
01:52:20,479 --> 01:52:23,280
Speaker 5: spreading it out, Like Jeremiah Smith hasn't had that exceptional

2200
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:25,400
Speaker 5: season because they just have so many other weapons that

2201
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:28,360
Speaker 5: you know, saying is kind of a distributor. He won't

2202
01:52:28,360 --> 01:52:30,479
Speaker 5: just target in on one guy. He likes to read

2203
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:34,320
Speaker 5: the field. The RPO game is very much read pull throw,

2204
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:37,000
Speaker 5: and I think that's something that he's done very well

2205
01:52:37,040 --> 01:52:39,760
Speaker 5: this year. Mechanically, he's a really good thrower, and I

2206
01:52:39,800 --> 01:52:41,320
Speaker 5: think you can make the case that he's a top

2207
01:52:41,360 --> 01:52:43,840
Speaker 5: five quarterback in the country. I know that he's got

2208
01:52:43,880 --> 01:52:46,040
Speaker 5: an embarrassment of riches around him, but he still has

2209
01:52:46,080 --> 01:52:49,120
Speaker 5: to execute the plays and playing in the big ten's,

2210
01:52:49,240 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 5: it's not the acc right, Like, you still have some

2211
01:52:51,360 --> 01:52:53,280
Speaker 5: really good defenses that I think can get after you.

2212
01:52:53,360 --> 01:52:56,240
Speaker 5: So I've been really impressed with Julian saying this year

2213
01:52:56,439 --> 01:52:58,280
Speaker 5: this will be a test. Penn State will put a

2214
01:52:58,320 --> 01:52:59,800
Speaker 5: lot of pressure on him. The right side of it

2215
01:52:59,840 --> 01:53:03,160
Speaker 5: all offensive line is gettable, right, and I think there's

2216
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,120
Speaker 5: going to be some pressure on him today and we'll

2217
01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:05,920
Speaker 5: see how he handles that.

2218
01:53:06,840 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and some it's funny how long a football season is.

2219
01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:13,360
Speaker 4: Some of these teams that had high expectations have a

2220
01:53:13,360 --> 01:53:17,719
Speaker 4: lot of talent, like Penn State, and they've lost four games.

2221
01:53:17,880 --> 01:53:20,599
Speaker 4: The record is three and four, you know, so it's

2222
01:53:20,960 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 4: I think it's twofold. I don't think it's just the

2223
01:53:23,080 --> 01:53:27,520
Speaker 4: point spread. And you're right, Jared, these players know exactly

2224
01:53:28,240 --> 01:53:31,240
Speaker 4: how big of an underdog they are and that doesn't

2225
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:34,559
Speaker 4: sit well with them, nor should it. But also it's

2226
01:53:34,640 --> 01:53:37,320
Speaker 4: you're sick and tired of being sick and tired. You're

2227
01:53:37,400 --> 01:53:40,880
Speaker 4: tired of getting your teeth kicked in time and time again.

2228
01:53:40,920 --> 01:53:43,360
Speaker 5: You lost a UCLA for crist I haven't won a

2229
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:45,880
Speaker 5: Power for game yet this year. It's November.

2230
01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:48,400
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh.

2231
01:53:49,479 --> 01:53:53,080
Speaker 4: So I know all of the facing the number one

2232
01:53:53,120 --> 01:53:57,880
Speaker 4: team on the road, this is an absolute pride spot

2233
01:53:58,160 --> 01:54:01,320
Speaker 4: for Penn State, and uh, you know they're gonna come

2234
01:54:01,320 --> 01:54:02,200
Speaker 4: out and fight.

2235
01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:02,760
Speaker 3: For sure.

2236
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:04,520
Speaker 1: We're just gonna see if they can execute.

2237
01:54:04,800 --> 01:54:06,040
Speaker 5: I took a half.

2238
01:54:06,479 --> 01:54:11,400
Speaker 3: I took the point I am I'm a Penn State fan.

2239
01:54:11,760 --> 01:54:14,200
Speaker 3: I obviously am a Penn State or would never bet

2240
01:54:14,240 --> 01:54:16,599
Speaker 3: against them. But I'm not taking the point.

2241
01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:21,679
Speaker 5: I'll be honest. I know I had such a bad

2242
01:54:21,760 --> 01:54:24,080
Speaker 5: year and in rapid fire. This might be the kids

2243
01:54:24,080 --> 01:54:25,720
Speaker 5: of death. But I might put him in rapid fire.

2244
01:54:25,800 --> 01:54:29,000
Speaker 5: I'm on the I have my I have my first

2245
01:54:29,240 --> 01:54:32,280
Speaker 5: players that I know. I'm undecided on the third. I

2246
01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:34,800
Speaker 5: might just do it for print. I mean, it's out

2247
01:54:34,800 --> 01:54:38,280
Speaker 5: of principle. They were a four point dog months ago.

2248
01:54:38,640 --> 01:54:42,440
Speaker 5: It's seven and a half, I know, but disrespectful.

2249
01:54:42,640 --> 01:54:47,120
Speaker 4: That's when they were thought to be like national championship favorites.

2250
01:54:47,480 --> 01:54:50,400
Speaker 3: They were never good. That was that was.

2251
01:54:50,640 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 5: That was a whole loadable by Northwestern.

2252
01:54:55,160 --> 01:54:57,960
Speaker 4: I wish I wish we had a wire tap on

2253
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:01,840
Speaker 4: that rich Oh conversation. And you know, like, is there

2254
01:55:02,080 --> 01:55:05,480
Speaker 4: is there any any way rich and Richards just like

2255
01:55:06,080 --> 01:55:09,200
Speaker 4: I'm not seeing it, Like I wish I had drops

2256
01:55:09,200 --> 01:55:10,520
Speaker 4: of them that I could sprinkle it.

2257
01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:13,880
Speaker 3: D Yeah, we're driving back from like a post trigger

2258
01:55:13,960 --> 01:55:16,640
Speaker 3: treating Halloween party. He was like, yeah, he's like, what

2259
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:18,640
Speaker 3: do you think? He was like, what do you think

2260
01:55:18,640 --> 01:55:20,160
Speaker 3: of this backup quarterback?

2261
01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:26,840
Speaker 5: I'm like, he's you know, he's young, he's got great hair, right,

2262
01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:29,200
Speaker 5: just trying to find something nice to say about him.

Speaker 1: You know that whole thing.

2297
01:57:03,600 --> 01:57:07,560
Speaker 4: Top of the hour up on Game LaVar Arrington, TJ Hushman, Zada.

2298
01:57:07,600 --> 01:57:10,320
Speaker 4: They got you covered less than nine minutes away. Keep

2299
01:57:10,360 --> 01:57:13,200
Speaker 4: it locked here on Fox Sports Radio. All Right, we

2300
01:57:13,320 --> 01:57:14,800
Speaker 4: got some picks to make. Let's do it.

2301
01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:18,760
Speaker 3: Rapid Fire.

2302
01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:21,800
Speaker 4: Alrighty, Jared, we start with you.

2303
01:57:21,840 --> 01:57:23,840
Speaker 5: What do you like this week? Well, I'll preface it

2304
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:25,920
Speaker 5: by saying my picks have been terrible this year. I'm

2305
01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:29,400
Speaker 5: nine to eighteen in Rapid Fire. Awful, absolutely awful. Cannot

2306
01:57:29,400 --> 01:57:32,080
Speaker 5: get any worse, but maybe it will. Let's make sense.

2307
01:57:32,080 --> 01:57:33,560
Speaker 5: State plus seventeen and a half.

2308
01:57:34,040 --> 01:57:34,600
Speaker 3: Let's go.

2309
01:57:34,840 --> 01:57:38,480
Speaker 5: They were putting it. This is disrespectful. This line was

2310
01:57:38,560 --> 01:57:42,640
Speaker 5: four over the sung What are we doing people? Penn

2311
01:57:42,640 --> 01:57:45,760
Speaker 5: State as a double digit dog has covered four straight.

2312
01:57:46,360 --> 01:57:48,640
Speaker 5: I'm praying they get some kind of gift from the

2313
01:57:48,680 --> 01:57:51,600
Speaker 5: football gods on offense today, I think their defense will

2314
01:57:51,600 --> 01:57:54,480
Speaker 5: at least compete against that. I'll have a date offensive line.

2315
01:57:54,760 --> 01:57:56,960
Speaker 5: I don't know how we're scoring today, guys, but just

2316
01:57:57,440 --> 01:57:59,000
Speaker 5: if you want to fade me, I don't blame you.

2317
01:57:59,080 --> 01:58:00,920
Speaker 5: My picks have been terrible. Maybe that's a bad omen

2318
01:58:00,960 --> 01:58:02,960
Speaker 5: for the Ninny line. But I'll take plus seventeen and

2319
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:04,720
Speaker 5: a half. Also five cents splitz a bet MGM right

2320
01:58:04,720 --> 01:58:06,600
Speaker 5: now minus one oh five, really good price right up

2321
01:58:06,640 --> 01:58:08,840
Speaker 5: before kick. I'll take Texas minus three and a half

2322
01:58:08,880 --> 01:58:11,360
Speaker 5: against Bandy. This line was two and a half yesterday.

2323
01:58:11,400 --> 01:58:13,280
Speaker 5: Arch Manning got announced in We've seen it now push

2324
01:58:13,360 --> 01:58:15,760
Speaker 5: through the key. I'm comfortable still laying to three and

2325
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:17,520
Speaker 5: a hook. I think Bandy on the road is going

2326
01:58:17,560 --> 01:58:19,600
Speaker 5: to be a very different team. We saw that offensive

2327
01:58:19,600 --> 01:58:22,040
Speaker 5: line struggle against Missoo. The Texas pass us should be

2328
01:58:22,040 --> 01:58:25,360
Speaker 5: able to get home and I am buying low on

2329
01:58:25,480 --> 01:58:28,960
Speaker 5: the Arch Manning stock. This is bottom basement bargain pricing

2330
01:58:29,080 --> 01:58:32,320
Speaker 5: for Arch. I will lay three with Oklahoma later tonight.

2331
01:58:32,360 --> 01:58:34,440
Speaker 5: Also five cents Splitz minus one oh five right now

2332
01:58:34,480 --> 01:58:36,400
Speaker 5: at bet MGM put up her shut up game for

2333
01:58:36,480 --> 01:58:38,560
Speaker 5: both teams. I think the loser is out of the

2334
01:58:38,600 --> 01:58:42,040
Speaker 5: CFP rais Joey Aguilar. Those elite wide receivers will be

2335
01:58:42,080 --> 01:58:44,320
Speaker 5: a factor, and I don't trust John Mattier still looking

2336
01:58:44,360 --> 01:58:46,280
Speaker 5: a little bit unhealthy from the thumb injury. So I'll

2337
01:58:46,280 --> 01:58:47,120
Speaker 5: take the balls at home.

2338
01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:50,400
Speaker 3: Okay, I took all favorites, and it starts with the

2339
01:58:50,400 --> 01:58:55,520
Speaker 3: Ohio State. No, I'm kidding, man, it doesn't start. Actually,

2340
01:58:55,640 --> 01:58:58,400
Speaker 3: I took one dog. I'll start with the dog. Florida

2341
01:58:58,520 --> 01:59:02,000
Speaker 3: plus seven and a half Georgia coming to town, new

2342
01:59:02,040 --> 01:59:05,840
Speaker 3: head coach after the bye week. I think Florida can

2343
01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:09,440
Speaker 3: can hang there with Georgia. I think Lagways come on

2344
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:14,640
Speaker 3: as the season progressed. Look, Florida is not good, they're

2345
01:59:14,680 --> 01:59:18,080
Speaker 3: not even close to great, and Georgia is. But that

2346
01:59:18,080 --> 01:59:20,520
Speaker 3: doesn't mean that a great team can't play down in

2347
01:59:20,560 --> 01:59:24,400
Speaker 3: a spot like this. I think I think coach Gonzalez

2348
01:59:24,800 --> 01:59:27,520
Speaker 3: gets this one within a few against Georgia, So give

2349
01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:31,280
Speaker 3: me the seven. With Florida, Texas, I like the three

2350
01:59:31,360 --> 01:59:33,680
Speaker 3: and a half they're favored by. I think they're gonna

2351
01:59:33,680 --> 01:59:37,640
Speaker 3: teach Vanderbilt a lesson on the road. And USA. USC

2352
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:41,120
Speaker 3: favored by four and a half against Nebraska, Nebraska and

2353
01:59:41,200 --> 01:59:44,560
Speaker 3: it this year. Dylan Reyola down here, we talked about this,

2354
01:59:45,040 --> 01:59:47,920
Speaker 3: and I like USC's defense, and I like them upfront

2355
01:59:47,920 --> 01:59:50,000
Speaker 3: in their trenches, bolt side the ball. So I'll take

2356
01:59:50,040 --> 01:59:51,600
Speaker 3: them favored by four and a half today.

2357
01:59:51,720 --> 01:59:54,600
Speaker 4: All right, super fast, are you okay with Florida plus seven?

2358
01:59:54,960 --> 01:59:55,680
Speaker 1: No hook there?

2359
01:59:55,920 --> 01:59:56,920
Speaker 3: You okay with that? Good?

2360
01:59:57,080 --> 01:59:59,080
Speaker 4: Okay, you're good with it. I like feisty rich I

2361
01:59:59,120 --> 02:00:02,680
Speaker 4: love it. Give me the Bearcats plus ten and a

2362
02:00:02,800 --> 02:00:06,520
Speaker 4: half at Utah. This is freaking disrespectful, So Sores be

2363
02:00:06,560 --> 02:00:09,640
Speaker 4: a good rushing attack. I like Cincinnati a lot. Give

2364
02:00:09,720 --> 02:00:11,600
Speaker 4: me as a team. I like him in this spot.

2365
02:00:11,600 --> 02:00:14,960
Speaker 4: Plus ten and a half. Give me Tennessee first quarter

2366
02:00:15,920 --> 02:00:20,320
Speaker 4: money line. It's minus a dollar thirty against Oklahoma weird offense.

2367
02:00:20,400 --> 02:00:22,800
Speaker 4: It's a lot coming at you. Give me Penn State

2368
02:00:22,880 --> 02:00:25,400
Speaker 4: might be one of my dumbest ideas ever. Plus ten

2369
02:00:25,600 --> 02:00:31,600
Speaker 4: first half. Let's go
