But 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.440 now we're doing good. We're doing good. We're doing good 0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.440 using the do you have to go on Big Time TV? 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:04.640 I get it. I look like a TV from how 0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:08.680 I look like a corpse that is somehow walking right now? Um, 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.920 I feel awful today. I don't know what's going on. 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.640 I woke up and took a shower in the middle 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.600 of last night because I was just drenched in sweat. 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:22.040 And then I woke up like violently shivering this morning. 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.839 Look at these I bags and ain't good dude. We'll 0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:30.120 see um negative for fluent COVID. So that's good. Congrats though, Aaron. Um. 0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:32.799 I mean we had the show Friday, but that was 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.880 just kind of a quick best bet. How is it 0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:40.679 going from one to two kids? Oh man, it's it's 0:02:40.720 --> 0:02:42.840 different for those who do have multiple kids, you know, 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.400 it's it's man on man now. Like today was the 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.320 prime example. This morning. Maddox was a little under the 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.880 weather this weekend, so we didn't send the school today. 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:53.959 So it was okay, you got Maddox in the morning. 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.440 I got Miles because obviously I have to do the 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.360 feeding and whatnot. So it's no longer Hey, I gotta 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.240 go take a couple call. As you get Max for 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.280 an hour, I get Max for an hour when he's home. Uh, 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:06.920 it's it's you get one, I get one. So a 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.200 lot of little minute time, which I love, don't get 0:03:09.200 --> 0:03:11.880 me wrong. I love part time with little Man, but 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.079 during the week when we got shows, it gets a 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:16.560 little bit tight, a little day gets condensed a little bit. 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:20.640 T Bob Uh yeah, man, I feel you, I feel you. 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.560 I feel you on that we got that. We got 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:26.360 babies in the air. Dude. One of our moderators, Bilbo T. Baggins, 0:03:26.840 --> 0:03:30.799 just had his first child. Huge congrats to him, and uh, 0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:34.280 it's such a funny name to say Bilbo te Baggins 0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:38.920 while being sincere um and then and then obviously on Friday, 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.000 I'm going to have my third kids, so I have 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.040 to feel better. I'm gonna feel better. Look, I want 0:03:43.080 --> 0:03:46.440 to be clear about something. I came into work today. Okay, 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.640 I'm with my morning show and this show because I 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:52.520 don't want Jimbo Fisher and those goddamn Aggie's to think 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.400 that they ran me off after that embarrassment Saturday night. 0:03:56.600 --> 0:03:58.720 As somebody that jet logan says that to you, it 0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.440 looks like you're taking the lost pretty well. L uh No, 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.680 I'm not. It was still hung over from the loss. 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:09.600 That's that's what it is. He it was. It was miserable. 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.000 That's the thing. I didn't even go that a hard tell, 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.480 and that doesn't matter. It's it's an absolutely miserable loss. 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:16.520 It's the one thing that else you could not afford 0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.480 to do in terms of upsetting fans or kind of 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:21.360 taking away a lot of the good is this season. 0:04:21.480 --> 0:04:24.240 It doesn't mean a ton in the end, and overall 0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:27.159 you're kind of in the Tennessee position now, Aaron, where 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.440 you got to do the middal gymnastics and be like, okay, 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:32.720 you know what, on balance, still a very good season. 0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.960 Never would have thought that, you know, you go neither 0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:40.160 you win the West. Blah. But I'd be lying if 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:42.400 I said it didn't hurt that you had a chance 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.920 to ruin A and M and break them and send 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.919 to the bottom instead, you give him some modicum of hope. 0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:50.720 You have now lost your New Year's six game and 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:54.479 likely given that to Alabama or maybe even worse, maybe 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:57.640 even given them another playoff opportunity. I mean, it was ship, 0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.920 it was complete ship. But guess what, It's not gonna 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:04.120 stop the Tigers from crapping all over your bulldogs this 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:08.000 weekend because all it was was a little we're just 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.040 trying to get Georgia. Because the problem is when Georgia 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:15.360 focuses in, they're very dangerous this year. Okay, so L 0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.320 s U. You ever heard of playing possum? Right where 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:21.080 you play dead? L s U? Trying to look as 0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.200 unthreatening and uninteresting as possible? Hell, that A and M 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.400 offensive line? Where would you trash here in the show? 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.239 If they could push ellis you around? Oh well, surely 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:32.840 George's gonna be no problem. Georgian goes sleep walking to 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:34.960 the dome there at home, all these sorts of things, 0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:37.960 and that's when b K has a right where he 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:43.360 wants you dude, So watch out Aaron Murray. And the 0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:46.000 rumor is A and M's be playing possible year anticipation 0:05:46.040 --> 0:05:49.280 of beating LSU. That was their goal. Okay, let's suck 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.800 for eleven games. But our new big rivalry in the 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.360 SEC is is l s U. We want to make 0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:57.440 sure we win that game. So let's just be awful 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.000 of the line in scripments. Let's have all these issue 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.440 is a quarterback, and let's talk about Jim O getting fired. 0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.000 But then at the end we're going to ruin l 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:07.800 s U in their hopes. I mean, how shitty is 0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.000 if for LSU fans yourself, including that's why you feel 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:13.320 so bad this morning or this afternoon you with everything 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:18.200 going on, Clemson losing UM with Ohio State getting blown 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:20.120 out by Michigan, which well we'll discuss that too a 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.440 little bit. Make sure you go. Do you check out 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:25.040 Tea Bob's reactions to some of those early games if 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.760 you missed that over the weekend. But uh, L s 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.839 U had an opportunity to really force the hand of 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:35.880 the committee and say, yes, there's never been a two 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:39.159 lost team make the playoff, but we just won the SEC. 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.839 It's kind of a crap show year of not of of. 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:45.240 I would say good teams, maybe not elite teams as 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.240 we've seen in years past. Why don't we deserve an 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.200 opportunity to be in the final four. So regardless, if 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:55.400 if if l SU for somehow, if every Georgia player 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.680 wakes up with the flu this weekend and l SHO 0:06:57.760 --> 0:07:00.040 goes out there versus Georgia's third team and walk on 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.400 and win fifty to nothing LS, you would still not 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:06.680 make the playoffs because of the loss this weekend. Like 0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:08.480 that is I mean, that has to be just eating 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:12.320 you up inside, knowing you squandered that opportunity to even 0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:14.800 give yourself a chance to make the playoffs because you 0:07:14.920 --> 0:07:17.520 lost to the freaking Aggies. One of the worst things 0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:22.239 in the SEC this year. Feel it, It's insane because 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:24.880 if you've watched snaps too, you've kind of known that 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.680 throughout the entire year. I kept expecting him to have 0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:30.960 that week and when a game together and I finally 0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.000 relented after the U mask game, I'm like, you know what, 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.160 it ain't gonna happen. And then, of course, right when 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:40.480 I started to believe that if freaking happens, dude, uh no, 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:41.960 So it sucks, but look, we don't need to talk 0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:45.560 about LSU because they're relevant now to the larger college 0:07:45.560 --> 0:07:48.680 football conversation. I'm excited of the se championship and plenty 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.239 of trash will be talked this week, but we must 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.160 start earlier. In the chat, we had a go blue 0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.840 uh from someone and there we go Ja Wadley and 0:07:57.840 --> 0:08:00.640 shout out to everybody.

Man, they need more money. Yeah, it's the 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:44.000 most watched game since eleven, which I believe actually might 0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.320 have been the game and sent you that I played 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.200 in was about twenty million. But but to give you 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:52.880 some context for Tabot brought the numbers so he could 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:59.040 work in that. For those listening, very very you know 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:00.800 what I'm telling you. I don't know if you ever 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:06.400 played in front twenty mill but uh, um seventeen million people. 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.400 You know who didn't play in front the seventeen million 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:12.280 people the US soccer team unless not here state side 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:18.040 fifteen million for USA England on Friday. To your point, Aaron, 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:24.720 we love us some college or university American football and 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:29.120 uh and it was a classic American battle. Michigan Ohio State. 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.160 We talked about it all week long. No two teams 0:09:31.160 --> 0:09:33.400 had ever faced ranked or in the top five more 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:38.839 often and uh for a second year in a row, 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:44.960 Michigan dominates Ohio State, I mean breaks the will of 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:48.520 Ohio State. Now crucially, it's in a setting where there 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:51.240 could be no excuse for the Buckeyes this year. Okay, 0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:53.880 last year, Oh it was snowing. Oh it was in 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.320 the Big House, so like all this. Okay, Okay, it 0:09:56.440 --> 0:10:00.560 was beautiful, perfect fifty plus degree weather, which might as 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:03.640 well be seventy where they live. Uh, it was in 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:06.920 the shoe Blake Coram. Michigan's best player, the player that 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:08.440 we thought that if they didn't have him, he would 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:10.320 be dead in the water. The team would be Blake 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:14.520 Korb didn't even play like it is. Michigan had every 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:17.800 excuse to lose this game, and not only did they 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.800 win it, but by the end again they had broken 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:25.520 Ohio State over their knee. It was a dominance that 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.920 was a site to behold. And now all of a sudden, 0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:31.960 the full resurrection of Jim Harbor on that Michigan program 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:35.040 is complete, as it looks like in all likelihood they 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.880 will be back to back Big Ten champs with back 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:42.319 to back playoff appearance. Is just an unreal job by 0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:48.120 Michigan on Saturday. Oh it was a different brand of football. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:52.120 I mean, coach hardballs. He made the decision screw everyone 0:10:52.160 --> 0:10:54.160 wanted me to run this style of offense that just 0:10:54.280 --> 0:10:57.360 isn't my personality. I'm not gonna be able to outrecruit 0:10:57.360 --> 0:11:00.400 Ohio State and and in the skill positions, I'm not 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:03.559 gonna be able to bring in the five star receivers 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.640 and the guys that run four twos and four three's 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:07.959 and run a spread offense and go up tempo in 0:11:08.040 --> 0:11:10.320 the r P. O was like, he sprinkles that in, 0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:13.319 But what can we do? We can be more physical, 0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:15.120 We can win the line of scrimmage on offense, we 0:11:15.120 --> 0:11:17.480 can win the line of scrimmage on defense, and we 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.240 can punch him in the mouth. We can show what big, ten, 0:11:20.760 --> 0:11:24.040 hard nose football is all about. And that's how we're 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:26.120 going to win in this rivalry. And you've seen it 0:11:26.120 --> 0:11:28.880 now for two straight years. They're the more physical team. 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:31.240 They're the team that punches you in the mouth the 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:33.839 very first play to the very last play, and they 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.360 just where and where and where and where you're down. 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:39.160 He saw some of those big runs there in the 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.280 fourth quarter when essentially Ohio State said no, boss, like 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.800 we've we've been punched enough, We've gonned ten twelve rounds. 0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.960 We don't want anymore of this Michigan football team. And 0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:52.439 second straight year, regardless of the temperature you said it, 0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.719 it wasn't snown as a beautiful day. It was a 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:56.800 day that we said, hey, if you had to, if 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.800 you had a perfect day for Ohio State, fifties, so 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.360 me at home, go out there and do your thing. 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.800 C J. Stroud, go win you the damn Heisman, Go 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:08.280 beat Michigan and then lead your team to the playoff. 0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:13.080 And they played well on defense, Michigan and obviously once again, 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.240 you know J J McCarry again, I will I will 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.960 apologize right now to j j uh somewhat of apologies. 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.560 This will be a half ass apology. You played the 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.880 best game of your career, half ass because I want 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:29.480 to say it like this. Those receivers were wide ass open, 0:12:29.559 --> 0:12:34.360 t Bob. They were wide like you feeling like crap today. 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:36.880 I would bet money that you could go out there 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:41.120 and throw like they were fifteen yards behind the dbs 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.079 of Ohio State. It's not like he was out there 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:47.480 pinpoint accuracy, fitting balls in between defenders, throwing it just 0:12:47.559 --> 0:12:49.640 out of reach of a defender into the arms of 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:54.679 a receiver. No. No, these guys were running wide ass open, 0:12:55.360 --> 0:12:58.559 so you hit him. It's it is harder than that 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:01.480 I'm making out to be. I get that, but um so, 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.880 so that's why I'm like half ass apology to JJ 0:13:03.920 --> 0:13:06.320 because I still think that he will be the reason 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.400 why they don't win a national championship this year. But congratulations, 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:15.080 unwinning doubter of Stetson last year is how you sound 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:22.200 about J J. McCarthy. Stets and Stetson performed quarterback last year. 0:13:22.240 --> 0:13:27.920 He wasn't. I will say I I will say this, well, 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:31.440 first off, from put it on the pole is a 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:34.480 half ass apology and apology at all, Like I don't 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.360 end up like a no offense and then I'm gonna 0:13:37.360 --> 0:13:39.600 insult you. But like because I said that, like it's 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.680 still an insultent the like, I don't know if half 0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.440 ass apology really counts as any sort of apology. But 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:50.959 but um no, look look we we we we said 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:55.600 this on Saturday. Okay, Um, he is not by any 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.920 stretch of the imagination as good of a traditional quarterback 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:05.439 as c. J. Stroud, But uh, he did exactly what 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.760 he needed to do in order to unlock that defense 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:13.480 and set that team up for success in the second half. 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:16.240 Right Like Ohio State was clearly selling out to stop 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:19.040 the run, all Michigan had to prove was could they 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.160 take the top off? And they did that three different times, 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:23.680 and all of a sudden, how States having to hang 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.760 back a little more. And then you have that incredible 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.160 Michigan offensive line, which one the Joe Moore last year. 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.240 They're just as good, if not better this year. Like 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.840 we said last week, maybe not even as much NFL 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.360 talent as the Ohio State offensive line. But nobody plays 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:40.080 better as a group, and J. J. McCarthy allowed Michigan 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:43.040 to continue to lean, lean, lean, and then, like you said, 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.720 after repeated body shots or house, they wanted nothing by 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:47.040 the end, I will say this way, or as I 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.200 pressed to JD. McCarthy, though here and again, like you said, 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.360 it's not in the traditional avenues of quarterback play, because 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:54.120 what did he finish, like eleven of twenty two or 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:57.160 like twelve and twenty four? I think he finished the Yeah, 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.640 twelve twenty four, Like that's nothing something right about that's bad. 0:15:00.720 --> 0:15:04.520 That's like actually bad nowadays. But again in terms of 0:15:04.560 --> 0:15:07.480 the game flow, in terms of making the plays, he 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.600 made those huge throws when he had to made him, 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:12.120 he ran when he had to run it. He gets 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.000 in the end zone late on that third and goal 0:15:14.000 --> 0:15:16.680 where he actually runs past his lead blocker just to 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.840 force his way in there, like he did an excellent 0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:23.360 job of making game winning plays and setting his team 0:15:23.440 --> 0:15:25.720 up for success. And really that's exactly Jim Harbaugh's wanted 0:15:25.760 --> 0:15:28.080 out of the quarterback position, like he has shown you 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:31.160 time and time again, he doesn't really want some guy 0:15:31.200 --> 0:15:33.240 like a C. J. Stroud or somebody else. They're gonna 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.240 have to rely upon uh to throw it sixty times 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.320 a game. He wants a guy who can manage make 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:42.480 plays with his legs and ideally make those kind of 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.280 game changing plays. That's exactly Ji McCarty has been all year, 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.680 and now on the biggest stage against the best opponent, 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:51.320 it's exactly what it was once again. And on the 0:15:51.360 --> 0:15:53.440 other side of the equation you saw a much better 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:57.360 quarterback and c J. Stroud who was much worse within 0:15:57.400 --> 0:15:59.640 the flow of the game and seemed to lose himself 0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:01.960 more and more as the game went on. And I 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:06.080 don't know about you, Aaron, but it definitely felt like um, 0:16:06.120 --> 0:16:08.480 it doesn't felt like to me like c J. Strout 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:11.320 was just very confused by what Michigan would show him 0:16:11.360 --> 0:16:13.600 at the end. He didn't go where, he didn't know 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:14.720 where to go to the ball when he was hit 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:17.920 his back foot, he was hesitant. The Michigan was getting 0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.200 pressure with just four up front, which is obviously where 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.360 you want to be as it defitsive coordinat to make 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.200 your entire life easier. And so it's it is fascinating 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:27.120 me that you could have two quarterbacks where like c. J. 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:30.240 Strout's still better quarterback He's still a better NFL prospect, 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:33.160 but he wasn't even close to winning this game. And 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:34.840 it goes back to what we said about Michigan weeks 0:16:34.840 --> 0:16:38.200 and weeks and weeks ago. They might be the best 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.720 team in the country. I don't know the finished number one, 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.720 but in terms of their strength at all these different 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:48.480 position groups, they might be the best team in the country. 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.480 And that's how it felt on Saturday. I mean, could 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:54.640 you have fathomed at half if I would have told 0:16:54.640 --> 0:16:57.400 you that at a halftime Michigan would have ten rush 0:16:57.480 --> 0:17:00.800 yards to Ohio States one twenty, what would you have 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:02.840 thought the score of that game would be. I would 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:07.080 not have thought seventeen. You thought was dominating, right, and 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.000 and then so to come out the second half and 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:11.640 then breakthrough and they end up flipping that Michigan Russias 0:17:11.680 --> 0:17:16.440 for two forty to Ohio States twenty. It was I mean, 0:17:16.520 --> 0:17:21.080 they broke them. And and as a competitor, a football player, 0:17:21.119 --> 0:17:25.280 anything that is the best feeling in the entire world. 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.840 And once you get a taste of that drug, of 0:17:27.880 --> 0:17:31.040 that rush of breaking your opponents will, especially when it's 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.720 your most hated opponent, you desperately want to hit that 0:17:33.760 --> 0:17:36.720 ship again and it took a year, but they got 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.159 to hit it again and then some and all of 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:41.760 a sudden, O, how State fans are panicking asking, like us, 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:46.640 Ryan Day, that good out of y'all? Well, two things 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:48.359 you brought at the seven? You you broughably. You know, 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:51.360 Blake Korm didn't really play with two two two two 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:54.639 Russias the entire game. Like then that goes back to, 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:57.000 like what the perfect recipe for Ohio States to dominate 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.200 this game was beautiful weather at home and core m 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:02.720 wasn't playing like, Okay, this is easy. Let me just 0:18:02.720 --> 0:18:04.439 go put a big bag of money on on on 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.040 Ohio State covering the points. There's no way in hell 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.560 Michigan is gonna go accomplish this game. Yeah, that's that 0:18:09.680 --> 0:18:11.080 is you do. I thought you brought a good point 0:18:11.119 --> 0:18:14.760 two good points. One is defensive structure, you know, how 0:18:14.920 --> 0:18:17.240 do going back to even when the Bucks took care 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:21.680 of Kansas City to obviously this weekend, Ohio State first, Michigan? 0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:25.480 What what? What the What is the major benefit of 0:18:25.680 --> 0:18:29.080 being stout up front of having big, ugly guys that 0:18:29.080 --> 0:18:32.040 are throwing your plus pounds that can clog up running lanes? 0:18:32.080 --> 0:18:33.920 What does that give you, That gives you ability to 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:36.680 play too high defense, That gives you the ability to 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:39.840 to give some some uh some protection over the top, 0:18:39.920 --> 0:18:43.639 some safeties over the top, and you know you always 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.879 Ohio State got their numbers, Like the receivers had yards, 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.880 they had receptions. That that's great, but I didn't see 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.320 the explosive place. Like if if one team is more 0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.040 exposed than the other, which would you kind of bet 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.200 it would probably be go Ohio State. They're the passing team. 0:18:57.480 --> 0:18:59.160 They're gonna be able to throw the ball vertically down 0:18:59.200 --> 0:19:01.679 the field and they can get those forty fifty yard chunks. 0:19:02.560 --> 0:19:04.879 If you want to win big time football games and 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.920 if you want to win tough games on the road 0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:09.439 or against a good defense, it's kind of like what 0:19:09.480 --> 0:19:11.520 I said, first Georgia versus Tennessee a few weeks ago, 0:19:12.160 --> 0:19:15.320 you gotta get explosive place. Tennessee was not able to 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.720 get exposive place. First Georgia, they struggled. Ohio State was 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.920 not able to get explosive place. Versus Michigan, they struggled. 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:24.720 On offense. They got yards, they moved the ball in 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:27.760 the red zone, but they couldn't score it as hard 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:30.679 as an offense to move down the football fell, especially 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:33.159 if you want to be a past first offense and 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.440 not get chunk plays in order to have success and 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.680 to get seven points on the board. So great job 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:41.480 by Michigan Ben, but don't break, keep everything in front 0:19:41.480 --> 0:19:43.520 of him, tack a well, and then make some big 0:19:43.520 --> 0:19:46.200 plays on the back end when those plays presented themselves. 0:19:46.320 --> 0:19:48.879 That's first and then second, this is gonna be one 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:50.879 of my snaps, So it's kind of an early snap 0:19:50.920 --> 0:19:55.720 for the end of the show. Okay, okay. Mobile quarterbacks 0:19:56.200 --> 0:20:00.159 in today's game, especially in the college game, if you 0:20:00.200 --> 0:20:03.320 don't have one, you're doing it wrong. Let's look at 0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.000 the top four teams right now in college football. Georgia 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:10.719 Stetson Bennett mobile quarterback, mobile corp In outside the pocket 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:14.320 can beat you with his legs easily. Michigan mobile quarterback 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:19.560 TCU mobile quarterback USC My goodness, did he not win 0:20:19.560 --> 0:20:22.520 the Heisman this weekend? And just his swagger and energy 0:20:22.520 --> 0:20:25.080 from Caleb Williams and his ability to run around and 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.359 make people look stupid mobile quarterback. And then obviously you 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.480 know Bryce Young lest year at Alabama mobile quarterback. If 0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:33.880 you don't have a guy like that, and I'm not 0:20:34.080 --> 0:20:37.680 asking for a Kyler Murray. I'm not asking for Lamar Jackson. 0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:40.679 I'm asking someone that could could could buy time in 0:20:40.680 --> 0:20:44.440 the pocket, can move in out and outside, can can escape, 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:47.080 to be able to create those exposed plays down the field, 0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:48.960 which we've seen from these quarterbacks a year and a 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:53.160 year out throughout the season. You have to have one 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:55.679 of those guys. Ohio State has not had that in 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.480 two years, and they've kind of run into a roadblock 0:20:58.840 --> 0:21:01.000 against Michigan. I think a little bit, like I love 0:21:01.040 --> 0:21:03.760 c J. C is gonna be a great pro quarterback, 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:06.080 but I think we're starting to see Ryan Day. You 0:21:06.160 --> 0:21:08.760 may need to get someone a little bit more like 0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:11.240 the Justin Fields of the world in order to kind 0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:12.879 of maybe get to that next step and win a 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:17.160
