00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 5: in the stands streaming for pancake people.

54
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,919

Speaker 2: Tonight.

64
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 4: She'd better be worth it, that's all.

65
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 2: I think she is.

Speaker 5: you know, I've gotta I've gotta take advantage of this

00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 5: new spelt body that I'm in and I having to

71
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 5: go out.

72
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 6: The lady's very happy, you know.

73
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 4: I do like by the way. I like the the

74
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 4: decorations in the background. You know, got the nice set up,

75
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 4: and I do like how the banner is positioned very like. Well,

76
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,480
Speaker 4: I forgot lower left hand corner. We gotta have the skyliner,

77
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 4: we gotta have the diploma, we gotta have the important

78
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,839
Speaker 4: stuff on show.

79
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 5: Usually the banner is up, but I was running a

80
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 5: little late. The dog took a little extra time with

81
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 5: his morning walk today and I did I forgot to

82
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 5: put the banner up. I was like, oh, oh crap.

83
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 5: So during the commercial break, don't worry MGM, Fox Sports

84
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 5: Radio Brass, the banner will be going up during That's

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 5: very good, very.

86
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 4: Nice, very nice. All right, So before we we're gonna

87
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: dive headfirst into the games today. There's so much to

88
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,839
Speaker 4: die to look at, a lot of really good matchups,

89
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 4: and we will. We'll give the big matchups their due,

90
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 4: but I want to look back just briefly, because we

91
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 4: had a couple of college games last night. Ucla is

92
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: freaking brutal. Colorado took it on the Chin. But I

93
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 4: want to go back even further than that to Thursday

94
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 4: in the NFL, because the Packers look out standing. But

95
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: my gosh, the love that Green Bay is getting right now,

96
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 4: I might be the only person on the face of

97
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 4: the earth who feels this way. Feel free to push

98
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 4: back on this, but it's just Packers, Packers, Packers, Packers.

99
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 4: They are the team to be Packers Packers, And I'm like,

100
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: they've looked great in two home games, one of them

101
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 4: on a sho they haven't even played a road game yet.

102
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: Can we settle down just a bit on all of

103
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: this Packers love. I know, Michaeh. Parsons looks great. They've

104
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 4: looked fantastic against two quality opponents. But I'm just saying,

105
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 4: let's keep it in perspective a little bit.

106
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: Can we do that? I think it's fair.

107
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 7: Look, I mean the thing you have to think about

108
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 7: with the Packers is that win over Detroit was impressive

109
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 7: and important because, look, you always want to win in

110
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 7: division and it's gonna be a difficult division. So you know,

111
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 7: you get Detroit at home, that's a game that sort

112
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 7: of feels like they're gonna need to win it, especially

113
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 7: if Detroit gets themselves back on track this weekend. That's

114
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 7: a team that a lot of people are picking to

115
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 7: represent the NFC in the super Bowl in the preseason,

116
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 7: you know, futures odds, they're either the highest or the

117
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 7: second highest bet NFC team in terms of their Super

118
00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 7: Bowl prospects. Then you look at the Packers, I mean

119
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 7: the Bears, they're up and coming. The Vikings, they don't

120
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 7: look bad. So I understand what you're saying. I understand

121
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 7: it's like Pumper breaks, Pumpy breaks. But this was already

122
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 7: a talented team. If Jordan Love stays healthy last year,

123
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 7: they looked markedly better than they they they would have.

124
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: But if he.

125
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 7: Stays healthy, with the addition of Micah Parsons and some

126
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 7: of the pieces they have around that offense, I mean,

127
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 7: this is a well conceived roster, and so the excitement

128
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 7: is real.

129
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: The Packers are real.

130
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 7: But I do agree with you pump your breaks a

131
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 7: little bit because it's early in the season, and they

132
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 7: did win two games five days apart from each other,

133
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 7: both at home.

134
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 5: Just to confirm, someone on this show did give out

135
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 5: Packers to win the North right before the season started

136
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,719
Speaker 5: and as part of his division Parlay.

137
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.

138
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 4: Correct, and before the Micah Parsons trade.

139
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 5: That was nice. That being said, I agree with you, Brian.

140
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 5: I think there is a certain life of overreaction. We

141
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 5: talk about this all the time from week one to

142
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 5: week two. It's the biggest overreaction in the market that

143
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 5: we typically see.

144
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 6: That was a really tough.

145
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 5: Spot for Washington. Sharp betters had that spot circled for weeks.

146
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 5: In fact, I have a bet from July Green Bay

147
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 5: minus one and a half against Washington because if you

148
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 5: think about the spot and Rich I know you can

149
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 5: attest to this. The first Thursday night game, the first

150
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 5: team to have to go on the road after that

151
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 5: first Sunday game and then go play that first Thursday game,

152
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 5: that is a brutal spot.

153
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 6: Brutal spot.

154
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 5: So the Packers already kind of had a situational advantage

155
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 5: in that game.

156
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 6: And then you mentioned the divisional win.

157
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 5: They had one divisional win all of last year, so

158
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 5: I'm sure the Packers were circling that Week one game.

159
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 5: And not every team plays a divisional game week one,

160
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 5: some of them do, But you play one of those

161
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 5: divisional games week one for a team that only won

162
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 5: one game last year, in the division against the Bars.

163
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,559
Speaker 5: They're circling that Lions game as like a mini super

164
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 5: Bowl kind of because Detroit had won fifth.

165
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 6: They don't only lost two games the.

166
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,679
Speaker 5: Whole year last year. So those two spots early were

167
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 5: very situationally friendly for Green Bay. And you're right now

168
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 5: we're gonna kind of get the meat of this season.

169
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 5: And I still think, listen, that defense with Mike and

170
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 5: now is very cool. And the one thing I'm noticing

171
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 5: too is rising tide lifts all boats. The rest of

172
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 5: the defense now is playing with a increased level of confidence.

173
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 5: So this Packers team is legit, no doubt. They are

174
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 5: the team in the NFC. But they go on the

175
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 5: road next week to play Cleveland. Then they play Dallas

176
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 5: on the road on a Sunday night, so we'll get

177
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 5: some of that road love to see if he can

178
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 5: continue to play well outside of the friendly confines of Lambeau.

179
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 6: Then they get the early buy, which I don't love.

180
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 5: Frankly, Yeah, for a team that has Super Bowl aspirations,

181
00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 5: So I agree, like, we're not having a super Bowl

182
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 5: parade down Lambeau Street now wherever the field is, I

183
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 5: don't know what. I don't know what Street it is,

184
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 5: but they are the team to beat right now.

185
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: In the NFC.

186
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 4: Yeah, hey, listen, they look good, so I'm not against

187
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 4: giving them flowers. But they've been getting bouk after bou k,

188
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like they got it'd be

189
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 4: like you right tonight, Jared will use you as an example,

190
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: right if you is this one of the first dates

191
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 4: with this.

192
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 5: Second day, second coffee yesterday, and she liked me so

193
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 5: much you wanted to get dinner tonight.

194
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 2: Okay? Nice?

195
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 4: And you're like, yeah, I'm free. Just a huge fight

196
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 4: of the century, you know, and the Irish.

197
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 6: But I don't.

198
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 5: I don't go on dates too often, so it's kind

199
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 5: of like, hey, you know, I want to got to

200
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,439
Speaker 5: take advantage.

201
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: Of the here.

202
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 4: You're like, yeah, Saturday night, Sure got me. But if

203
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 4: you showed up to the second date with like three

204
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 4: dozen roses, she would run. She'd be like whoa a

205
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 4: little too. That's how I feel about the pack.

206
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 6: No flowers for her tonight, Just it's it's.

207
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 4: After two games. You know, this is a second date

208
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 4: for you. It's a little too early for all of

209
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 4: this love.

210
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 2: No, you're right, yeah, Brian, you're right.

211
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 7: Look you're gonna buy the packers dinner and then maybe

212
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,839
Speaker 7: even a hug on the porch. Too much further than that,

213
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 7: because like, let's be honest with each other, like it's

214
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 7: only we two and we've only just begun, and you know.

215
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 6: We really got off the ledge with this metaphor.

216
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: I love it. I love this analogy so much.

217
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 7: And I mean, eventually we're gonna get married, but yeah,

218
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 7: it's at least February when we clinched the division is

219
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,559
Speaker 7: when she'll get her first jewelry gift.

220
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'll have a little extra coin in the pocket.

221
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 4: By the way, if we shifted to college real quick here, man,

222
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 4: you've got a huge game today, you know, Tennessee hosting Georgia,

223
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 4: and we'll get into all the tidbits, you know, the

224
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 4: top and next hour. But for a second, it connects

225
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 4: to last night. There's an obvious connection, right quarterback Nico

226
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 4: IAmA Layava, So he was at Tennessee. He kind of

227
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 4: did a power play trying for more money, right, more

228
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 4: a little more nil love if you will, and Tennessee

229
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 4: was like, yeah, we're good, we're good on that, no

230
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 4: more extra money, and then he ends up transferring to UCLA,

231
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: who is a hot mess right now, they're zero to three.

232
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 4: They just got waxed by New Mexico at home last night.

233
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 4: Wo like, I just picture Nico, just like, hey man,

234
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 4: let's guys, let's go hit up in an out burger

235
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: at twelve thirty and let's stay there until at least

236
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 4: four thirty or five. Just no reason in particular. Maybe

237
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 4: it's because my former team is showcased on TV, huge

238
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 4: home game and he's over there leading the Bruins to

239
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 4: a winless record so far. I don't know how many

240
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 4: games they would do they win a game this Look

241
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 4: at the rest of their schedule.

242
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: I mean, they're getting to the teeth of it now.

243
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 7: The answer is maybe not, because the Big Ten is unrelenting.

244
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 7: I mean a lot of I mean, they play Penn State,

245
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 7: they play Ohio State, Washington's on their schedule. Nebraskan's gonna

246
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 7: be no pushover. Indiana was a playoff team last year.

247
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 5: Maryland, maybe Northwest Northwestern next week.

248
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: They better, Yeah, they better. Here's the here's the thing.

249
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 7: Look, Tom Brady didn't go to the Titans, he didn't

250
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 7: go to the Colts, he didn't go to the Cardinals.

251
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 7: I'm trying to think of bad teams. When we rewind

252
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 7: the clock to twenty twenty, when he joined the Buccaneers

253
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 7: and he won a Super Bowl. He went to a

254
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 7: team that was ready set bake the cake. All we're

255
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 7: missing is the icing. All we're missing is the quarterback.

256
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 7: He wasn't there to stir the flower with, you know,

257
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 7: the baking powder, and he wasn't gonna have the nutmeg.

258
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: Like the cake was baked.

259
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 7: Let me come in there, let me put a layer

260
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 7: of sing on this thing. Let go win a Super Bowl.

261
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 7: So he joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who had a

262
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 7: phenomenal defense when he joined up, and they had weapons everywhere.

263
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 7: He looked around that offense, and then they added a couple.

264
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 7: They bring in Gronk, They feathered the bed for him,

265
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 7: give him a little security blanket in the red zone

266
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 7: and the and the end zone, and then they win.

267
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:19,959
Speaker 2: A Super Bowl.

268
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 7: Nico went to, like you perfectly put it, a literal,

269
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 7: blazing hot mess in UCLA. Who's making the jump from

270
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 7: the what is the Pac twelve whatever they're gonna call

271
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 7: it when it reassembles to the Big ten.

272
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's just not gonna work.

273
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 7: And he chased the money instead of the I guess

274
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 7: the proper ingredients to bake the right cake.

275
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 5: Do you remember last year when Deshaun Foster gave that

276
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 5: really awkward press conference before at Big ten Media Day

277
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 5: UCLA head coach. That was, to me, like the funniest,

278
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 5: one of the funniest things I've seen for a head coach.

279
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 5: It just kind of feels like it's a continuation of that,

280
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 5: like it's just this awkward marriage between Nico and UCLA.

281
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 6: I was there last Saturday at.

282
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 5: Allegiance watching them play UNLV and nice win for UNLV.

283
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 5: I think their quarterback Calandria is kind of the anti

284
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 5: Nico right, kind of an undersized, gritty quarterback who has

285
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 5: a little bit of intestinal fortitude to him with the

286
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 5: style that he plays.

287
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 6: Like the word that comes to.

288
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 5: Mind with Nico is he's got all talent, but no, no,

289
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 5: you know, it's all surface level, like there's not a

290
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 5: lot underneath there. When I watch him play, it's just

291
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 5: there's just no heart, like there's no grit. It's very

292
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 5: much I'm here for the money. That's the vibe I get.

293
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 5: That was clearly what was happening at Tennessee, and it

294
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 5: didn't make sense, like The Tennessee thing made no sense

295
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 5: because he was in a state with no income tax

296
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 5: and he was making I think two to two and

297
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 5: a half mil, right, and then he asked for four

298
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 5: and they said no, and then he left. And then

299
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 5: he moves to California with like the highest state income

300
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 5: tax in the country and he's making less. So, like,

301
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 5: even from a just from a forget football, forget the

302
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 5: fact that Tennessee is better than UCLA, forget that for

303
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 5: a minute, just from like a business.

304
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 6: Sense, the move made no It was it was an

305
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 6: asenine move.

306
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 5: It was like, you're doing back results. Yeah, so now

307
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 5: you throw in the football element where they're losing to

308
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,640
Speaker 5: Utah and UNLV and New Mexico at home as a

309
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 5: fifteen point dog and not just losing. I posted this

310
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 5: last night after the game. It's one thing to lose

311
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,680
Speaker 5: to New Mexico as a fifteen point favorite at home.

312
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 5: It's another thing to get deepanted, like completely obliterated, lose

313
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 5: by three scores.

314
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:58,479
Speaker 6: At this point.

315
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 5: The Foster experiment, right, former former player turned coach kind

316
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 5: of awkward interview last year with his opener, and now

317
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 5: he's kind of inheriting this weird situation. That clearly he

318
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:14,920
Speaker 5: can't fix. I mean one and eleven, zero to twelve

319
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 5: is staring them right in the face.

320
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 6: And you want to talk.

321
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 5: About a fall from grace, Yeah, I mean, this is

322
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 5: one of the most intriguing falls that I've seen. Like

323
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 5: the Rye, I tweeted, the rise and Fall of Nico

324
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 5: will be studied for generation.

325
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 4: And it's a It's a really good example for a

326
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 4: lot of college players where I get it. Nothing wrong

327
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 4: with wanting the money and if you think you're in

328
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 4: a position to have leverage, you want to utilize it

329
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 4: and get more cash. Hey, there are a lot of

330
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 4: players that have gotten more money by doing what Nico did.

331
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 4: It didn't work for Nico, and it's a great reminder

332
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 4: to you know, not overplay your hand. Because he tried

333
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 4: to get more cash, it didn't work out. And now

334
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 4: he's waking up with UCLA and not even close. You

335
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 4: can't tell is he watching today? Like I think he

336
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 4: would just make him miserable to watch Tennessee today knowing

337
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 4: he could be right there. He could be a Kneeland

338
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 4: with this crazy atmosphere packed to the gills, great opponent

339
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 4: in Georgia. He's on center stage and now he went

340
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,200
Speaker 4: from the headlining act to like the third warm up band,

341
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 4: you know, like he's warming up for the warm up

342
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 4: bands now at UCLA. That's that's brutal, that's a that's

343
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 4: a fall from grace right there. But good reminder not

344
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 4: to overplay your hand. Hey, we're often running here. We've

368
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 4: ranked South Florida. How about that ranked against number five

369
00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 4: Miami games on the CW today, Love it beautiful and

370
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 4: the darling so far early on this college football season,

371
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 4: that would have to be South Florida had a couple

372
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 4: of nice wins against Boise State and Florida respectively. You

373
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 4: have to put that in there. I don't know why

374
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 4: you just do. It's mandated, but two nice wins against

375
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 4: ranked teams and now they're ranked number eighteen. This is

376
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 4: a scary matchup, man, and they are dogs by seventeen

377
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 4: and the hook. They are heavy underdogs on the road

378
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 4: against Miami and the scary thing I think for South Florida. Listen,

379
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 4: Byron Brown has done a really good job their quarterback

380
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,800
Speaker 4: of using his legs. He really did that against Boise

381
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 4: State in that opener, did a great job, you know,

382
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 4: Tampa Stadium, the whole thing right, running around on them

383
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 4: a couple of big runs. And that's what I worry

384
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 4: about today. If he's not able to run. If their

385
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 4: running game collectively is held in check, which is very

386
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: possible against Miami, what.

387
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:55,360
Speaker 2: Do you have?

388
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,679
Speaker 4: How you moving the ball? I don't want to make

389
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 4: it sound like it's army and they don't throw. They

390
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 4: do throw the ball, but a big, big part of

391
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 4: their attack is the running game. And if it's held

392
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 4: in check, man, I don't be shocked it off Miami

393
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: covers this spread, I might even give it out.

394
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

395
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 7: I love the Bulls, and it would be a tough

396
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 7: spot to fade them, especially after two ranked wins to

397
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 7: start their season. But Miami's got to be right and

398
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 7: high off of their big win and they look good.

399
00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:28,480
Speaker 2: On both sides of the ball. And here's the problem

400
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: for USF.

401
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 7: Do they have the staying power against real P four

402
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 7: competition to make it through a whole game like to

403
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,880
Speaker 7: make it wire to wire against big time Miami with

404
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 7: all the athletes and the tools to wear you down.

405
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 7: When you go in at the tunnel to take your

406
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 7: intermission and eat your orange slices and get your pats

407
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 7: on the back for a good first half, can you

408
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 7: come out and finish the game. That's gonna be the

409
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 7: test for South Florida today.

410
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 6: Yeah.

411
00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 5: I don't know if they're going to be able to

412
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 5: pass that test. I so we've discussed Miami on the show. Obviously,

413
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 5: we talked about him big Week one game against Brian's Irish.

414
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 5: Really dominated the trenches in that game. Offensive line is fantastic.

415
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,480
Speaker 5: I think that's I have two keys in this game. First,

416
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 5: Miami offensive line should be able to win the line

417
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 5: of scrimmage. I think USF is going to have to

418
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 5: load up the box to stop the run, and that

419
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 5: means Carson Beck is going to be chilling in the

420
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 5: pocket with a lot of one on ones on the

421
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 5: outside with some really good receivers. Florida's offensive line I know,

422
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 5: you know, they go into the swamp and they win

423
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 5: that game, and they deserve all the credit in the world.

424
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 5: Tough plays to play Florida ran it really well against

425
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 5: USF last week. It was lagway and it was napier.

426
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: Really that kind of screwed the pooch. I think Miami's

427
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 5: gonna run it really well in this game. The second

428
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,479
Speaker 5: key is shutting down Bayron Brown and that you know,

429
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 5: rushing dual THREATNSS.

430
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 6: That he has.

431
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 5: I just made that word up, dual threatness. That's not

432
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 5: a word, but we're gonna go with it.

433
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 6: Anyways.

434
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 5: He had seventeen carries last week. That's a lot for

435
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 5: a quarterback. And I think the wear and tear is

436
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 5: an issue. I would assume Miami spies him. Miami's DC,

437
00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 5: Corey Heatherman, he is a freaking nut job on the side.

438
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 5: Go why that If you want to be entertained tonight watch.

439
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 2: He's very, very animated.

440
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 6: It's like he is like a psychopath on the sidelines.

441
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 5: But I actually think it's very fitting because it kind

442
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 5: of fits who Miami is as a defense, very aggressive

443
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 5: up front. The athletes upfront for Miami are legit. I

444
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 5: think again trenches, offensive line, defensive line. There aren't many

445
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 5: teams in the country that are more physical and aggressive

446
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 5: than Miami. Rubin Bain, a key Mesidor off the edge

447
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 5: five pressers each in the first two games. Armando Blunt

448
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 5: six four to two sixty out of Miami Central. If

449
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 5: you're unfamiliar with that South Florida football, Miami Central one

450
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 5: of the most prestigious programs down there, missed the Bethune

451
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 5: game with an injury. He's back this week and in

452
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 5: Marquis Lightfoot. Don't let that name fool you. Lightfoot six five,

453
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 5: two thirty, not light at all. He's also been out

454
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 5: standing off the edge. I think Torre the linebacker, the

455
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 5: middle linebacker, the fifty year senior transfer from Rutgers. He's

456
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 5: probably gonna be the spy for Brown. But I love

457
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 5: this Miami front and the X factor though in this game, Brian,

458
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 5: there is an X factor for USF. I trust Alex

459
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 5: golish More over Mario Crystaball. That's the X founder. Yeah,

460
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 5: in a tight game late, I trust golish More, But

461
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 5: I don't know if this game is going to be

462
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 5: tight in the fourth quarter.

463
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 2: Yeah.

464
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 4: That's the thing is that you can see a path

465
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 4: to you know, a pretty good game, hard fought. You know,

466
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 4: South Florida's within a touchdown. All of a sudden, it

467
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 4: just snowballs and it's like, man, we're down by three

468
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 4: touchdowns right now. I wouldn't be surprised at all. And I'm,

469
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 4: you know, up close and personally familiar with Miami's rush defense.

470
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 4: Who held Notre Dame in check all night? Like Jeremiah

471
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 4: Love did nothing, Jadari and Price did a little bit.

472
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 4: I had a nice long run and it was a

473
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 4: good change of pace guy, But they held Jeremiah Love

474
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:01,439
Speaker 4: completely in check. And if they're able to hold the

475
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 4: South floor to running game and check, oh maybe it

476
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 4: could be. It could be a long day. It could

477
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 4: be a long day for the Bulls. Doubles over there, dopples.

478
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that.

479
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 7: I think the real test is going to be can

480
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,880
Speaker 7: you establish the run early? Can you take the air

481
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 7: out of the game, can you slow things down from Miami?

482
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 7: And then can you replicate that success in the second

483
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 7: half because it's the.

484
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: Game they want to play.

485
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 7: They want to play aggressively on defense, get the ball

486
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 7: back into the hands of their offense, and then obviously

487
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 7: feature the run. But man, it is so easy to

488
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 7: say all those words and they make plenty of sense,

489
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 7: but then you get into the action and I can't

490
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 7: tell you how many times where your your run game

491
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 7: is effective, but your offensive coordinator is getting impatient, or

492
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,440
Speaker 7: your quarterback is talking about how, you know, on that

493
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 7: we ran that one play action and we had the

494
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 7: post wide open.

495
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: We need to get back to that.

496
00:24:58,119 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 7: We need to get back to that, and all of

497
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 7: a sudd and it's a big game and people on

498
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 7: the sideline and I'm not pointing fingers because the game

499
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 7: hasn't even been played yet, but people start getting greedy,

500
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 7: and so you get you get a lot of voices

501
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 7: in the headset like, hey, we need to get back

502
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 7: to that bunch set out of you know, out of

503
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 7: our two type formation, because we're gonna we're gonna hit

504
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 7: you know, so and so on the sale route out

505
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 7: of the backfield.

506
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: Because they're not even they don't see it. They don't

507
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 2: see it.

508
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 7: They're I'm telling you what ends up happening is you

509
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 7: get away from what you're doing that's effective and you

510
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 7: get into one of those games where you're chasing, and

511
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 7: you're not even chasing the team you're playing. You're just

512
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 7: chasing the mystique of piling up a bunch of points,

513
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 7: playing with a cushion, and that feels good, but as

514
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 7: soon as you start playing out of your own characteristics,

515
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 7: as soon as you start playing the game you wish

516
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 7: you could play instead of the game you're supposed to play. Man,

517
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 7: that's when it gets hard. And I've been on sidelines

518
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 7: where this happens all the time. Professional coaches do it

519
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 7: and players college football players and coaches do it all

520
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 7: the time. You start playing outside of yourself, the bigger

521
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 7: the game gets. My advice to USF, if I were

522
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 7: in the locker room before the game, just be you.

523
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 7: You're good enough to win this game. You gotta trust

524
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 7: that you're good enough to win this game, because that's

525
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 7: all you have. You have the twenty two guys on

526
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 7: the offense and the defense, your special teamers, and you

527
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 7: gotta go out there and dance with the girl you brought.

528
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:26,920
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

529
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,120
Speaker 7: You are who you are, so play to that ability.

530
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 7: So many teams freak out in big matchups.

531
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:34,959
Speaker 6: Yeah you know what.

532
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 5: Another kind of X factor to this game is that

533
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 5: you know probably won't get talked about much USF.

534
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 6: The radar is up now.

535
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 5: Like it's one thing to be boise as a ranked team,

536
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 5: it's another thing to go into the swamp and be Florida, Like,

537
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 5: you're not sneaking up on Miami this week, Like no

538
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 5: that you put the country on notice. And I would

539
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 5: argue that their resume right now is even better than

540
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 5: Indiana's last year. So this is a legit Cinderella story now,

541
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 5: and you are not going to sneak up on an

542
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 5: in state rival after beating Florida in the swamp.

543
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 6: You might have snuck up on him if this game was.

544
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 5: Week two, right, But it just feels like USF kind

545
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 5: of used up their magic and I feel like when

546
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 5: it like went usually right. We talked about this in

547
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 5: March Madness all the time, when Cinderella goes on the run,

548
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: and then when they eventually.

549
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 6: Lose, it's usually a thud.

550
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 5: It's not a tight game, losing at the buzzer heartbreak.

551
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 6: It's usually they get.

552
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 5: Absolutely pummeled because physically they're just not as good as

553
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 5: these other opponents. But I love Alex Golish, Honestly, I

554
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 5: think he is a heck.

555
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 6: Of a coach. What he's done at USF is incredible.

556
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 6: They remind me a little bit of Notre Dame last year, Brian.

557
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 5: They are very good at situational and momentum football. They're

558
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 5: fantastic in the middle eight Goalish is a great coach

559
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 5: they're timing with when they call the true plays, Like

560
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 5: they're not physically more gifted than any of these teams

561
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 5: that they're beating. They are just really buttoned up in

562
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 5: those situational areas. But when you run into a juggernaut,

563
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 5: and make no mistake, Min's juggernaut. This year, we'll see

564
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 5: if they can handle another physical test after beating Florida Live.

565
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 4: I like that point, just to put a bow on

566
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 4: this where this isn't a hard sell for Mario Cristoball,

567
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 4: you know, like I have shades of Lou Holtz when

568
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 4: it was with Notre Dame trying to prop up like

569
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 4: Rice like they're the eighty five Bears or something. It's

570
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 4: like the team is just like Lou, It's Rice, Like,

571
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 4: come on, what are we doing here? This is not

572
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 4: a hard sell for Mario Cristaball to be like guys

573
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 4: throughout the whole week. This is a quality opponent, yep, right, Like,

574
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 4: look at what they've done so far this season. So

575
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 4: you got to approach this game the right way. If

576
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 4: you're the U and I think they will, let's shift

577
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 4: it to an SEC matchup. How about Arkansas against Ole Miss.

578
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 4: Love this game. It's a night game. It's over there,

579
00:28:56,720 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 4: you know, we get a little night action. We're talking

580
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 4: seven pm Eastern time kickoff. And Arkansas is always interesting

581
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,360
Speaker 4: to me. I like their quarterback, Taylor Green. You saw

582
00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 4: a lot of them at Boise State rich you know,

583
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 4: you know, with your ties to SDSU.

584
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 6: But Arkansas is one.

585
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,040
Speaker 4: Of those teams where they've got their flaws, but man,

586
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 4: they have their strengths also, and I like what their

587
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 4: offense has done so far this season. I wouldn't be

588
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 4: shocked if they win this game on the road. The

589
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 4: weird thing with Arkansas is it's like a wide range,

590
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 4: you know, wide range, especially in a matchup like this,

591
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 4: because Ole Miss, Man, they've got defensive flaws, they have

592
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 4: holes there and Arkansas can absolutely take advantage of them.

593
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 4: So they have real firepower. They have real capability to

594
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 4: win this game on the road, and they have real

595
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 4: capability to not come close to winning this game on

596
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 4: the road. That's just Arkansas football and nutshell here.

597
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Listen. Taylor Green, and like you mentioned, the.

598
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 7: Former Bronco quarterback with Boise State, talented dual threat guy.

599
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 7: He is going to be the name you're gonna want

600
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 7: to watch for if you're turning on that game and

601
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 7: you're like, hey, I don't even know where to get

602
00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 7: started with these two teams. Watch the quarterback for Arkansas.

603
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 7: Ole Miss also is one hundredth in creating pass rush

604
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 7: in the nation right now, one hundredth So they're getting

605
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 7: handled up front, which is a problem when you're going

606
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 7: against a guy who not only can beat you with

607
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 7: his arm, especially exploiting you know, fifteen yards within the

608
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 7: line of scrimmage, but also if it isn't there, he's

609
00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 7: gonna take off and he's gonna.

610
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: Make you pay.

611
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 7: Plus you're going to have some planned QB run built

612
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 7: into the script.

613
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 2: Ole Miss.

614
00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 7: They didn't cover a week ago when they went to Kentucky,

615
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 7: so you start thinking about the bounce back and Jared,

616
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 7: you'll you'll know more about that than I would. But

617
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 7: still Arkansas potent and they're good where Ole Miss is.

618
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 6: If it makes sense, Yeah, yeah, ole Miss.

619
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 5: Remember the interview last week after the Kentucky game when

620
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 5: Lane Kiffin apologized for not covering we love him?

621
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I love you. And that's the reason why

622
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:12,880
Speaker 2: I remembered.

623
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, like that. Honestly, I lane Kiffin's great for college football.

624
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: He just is.

625
00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 6: This is a weird spot.

626
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 5: It is because you got a little injury concerned here

627
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 5: with Simmons, and that was the the the buzz this

628
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 5: week was that he might miss the game. But he's

629
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 5: not on the injury report. He's definitely not one hundred percent.

630
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 5: I think it's an ankle. But that's something to keep

631
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 5: an eye on here. Green's a he's a firecracker. Like

632
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 5: he he will he will light you up, but he'll

633
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 5: also explode in your face like he's kind of In

634
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 5: one of the podcasts I listened to that covers the

635
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 5: SEC they call him mister hospital Ball because he just

636
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 5: sometimes he throws these balls up and it's just like

637
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 5: whoa look out.

638
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 6: But he's also very very talented.

639
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 5: Richie nailed it, like Ole Missus defense not great at

640
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 5: the pass rush, not great at tackling. Like I did,

641
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 5: think this is going to be a high scoring game.

642
00:31:57,400 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 5: In fact, if you recall last year, Ole miss was

643
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 5: wacky in this game. Jackson darthu for five hundred six

644
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 5: touchdowns sixty three thirty one. They beat him in Fayetteville,

645
00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 5: So you get the revenge narrative, Like, I'm sure Arkansas

646
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 5: didn't like getting a sixty burger dropped on him at

647
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 5: home last year. But it feels like with the ole

648
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 5: Miss injuries to the quarterback and with the volatility surrounding

649
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 5: Taylor Green's play, this is kind of a stay away

650
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 5: for me. I think over would be a fun way

651
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 5: to bet it. Yeah, we've seen that total get bet

652
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 5: up a little bit like this. You just feel like

653
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 5: this one's gonna be kind of a firecracker kind of game.

654
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 5: But I'm a little bit concerned with the betting either

655
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 5: side here just because of how volatable teams are.

656
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: I know.

657
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 4: It's funny, man, Welcome to college football where before the

658
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 4: game you're like, wow, it's up to sixty two and

659
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 4: a half. Yeah, and you mentioned like one team covered

660
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 4: it by their self.

661
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, sixty three less.

662
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 4: That's always I'm gonna take the under. I think that's

663
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 4: a lot of points. Until the fireworks start and you're like,

664
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:02,719
Speaker 4: holy cow, I had a flashback. It was funny, man.

665
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 4: I just had a flashback to I did radio and

666
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:09,959
Speaker 4: Fresno for a while and Fresno State was hosting Hawaii

667
00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 4: on one game and this is when June Jones was

668
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 4: there and Jerry Glanville was there and all this stuff,

669
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 4: and someone in the parking lot was like, hey, man,

670
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,280
Speaker 4: you know, what do you think about the total? It's

671
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,719
Speaker 4: like whatever. It was sixty seven and a half. And

672
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,040
Speaker 4: I was like, oh over all day. And he was like,

673
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 4: really I took the under. I'm like, oh, no, it's good.

674
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 4: It's flying over right. There are some games like that,

675
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 4: and it did.

676
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: It did. I was right that game.

677
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 4: I get them right every now and then. You know,

678
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 4: now all the time, I have moments here and there.

705
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 5: guy in this show these days, considering Brian and I

706
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 5: are very so.

707
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 6: So I'll give you a cow money line.

708
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:15,919
Speaker 5: So cows of two and a half point home dog

709
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 5: today against Minnesota. You got the Golden Gophers going out

710
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,320
Speaker 5: west to play the Golden Bears. Cow's a fun story.

711
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 5: They lost the toun of the transfer portal but they've

712
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,680
Speaker 5: got an exciting new quarterback and I'm gonna try to

713
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 5: say his name, and if I fail, I apologize.

714
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 6: Jeron Kave Songa Polutelli.

715
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 2: Wow, I don't know.

716
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 6: Maybe I got it right.

717
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 5: We're gonna call him JKS from now on though, highest

718
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 5: graded freshman passer in the country so far. Very impressive.

719
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 5: Nice win in Oregon State week one. They took care

720
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 5: of business last week against Texas. Southern Minnesota's kind of man.

721
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 5: They're without their star running back Darius Taylor today out

722
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 5: with any injury.

723
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,080
Speaker 6: This is gonna be their first real test.

724
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 5: They one did not cover against Buffalo in week one,

725
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,520
Speaker 5: and then they beat Northwestern State last week. Not Western

726
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 5: Northwestern State Cal very live home dog. I don't think

727
00:36:04,760 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 5: the market's fully caught up to the Golden Bears yet.

728
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 6: Guys.

729
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 5: They're kind of a dark horse CFP candidate too. The

730
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 5: ACAC is stinks and they've got a really easy schedule.

731
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 5: They get Duke unc SMU at home. They don't play

732
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 5: Clemson or Miami. Cal is very dangerous. I think they

733
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 5: beat Minnesota tonight outright moneyline plus one twenty first leg

734
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 5: at Farland.

735
00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 7: Okay, Okay, I say this with all due respect, but

736
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 7: give me the six and a half on the road

737
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 7: against the fighting Irish for Texas A and M. Here's

738
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 7: why the Irish. They were upset in Miami in the

739
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 7: season opener. They're off the bye week. Marcus Freeman is

740
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 7: awesome with additional time against the spread eleven and two.

741
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 7: Nice little stat there, But this feels like a good

742
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 7: bounce back spot for an M after not covering the

743
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,200
Speaker 7: spread last week. It was a lofty spread, but this

744
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 7: is this is a little bit easier of a point

745
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 7: spread for them to come in contact with. So give

746
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 7: me Texas A and M plus six and a half

747
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 7: in the bounce back spot.

748
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 4: I hate what you've done here, Rich, but might be right.

749
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 4: Hey man, if the Irish win yet don't cover and

750
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,720
Speaker 4: it cashes the parlay platters, who am I? I struck

751
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 4: my shoulders on that one. You know, Irish win, great,

752
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 4: we could both win, so it's possible.

753
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:20,319
Speaker 2: There you go.

754
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with give me Georgia, Tennessee. I like

755
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,480
Speaker 4: the over in the first half over twenty four and

756
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,399
Speaker 4: a half for a couple of reasons. Kirby Smartest talked

757
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 4: about this where it's like and I'm paraphrase. So you

758
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 4: didn't say it exactly like this, but he's basically saying,

759
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,240
Speaker 4: you know, Tennessee's offense just different. They're like, it's nothing

760
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 4: that we've seen before. It's not like, well, we go

761
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 4: up against this commonly on our schedule. They just they

762
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 4: go fast, they throw a bunch of stuff at you.

763
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 4: They're just moving, moving, moving, and it takes them a

764
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 4: little bit to get their sea legs. You know, the

765
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 4: dogs have to settle into the game a little bit. Now.

766
00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 4: George's offense has been nothing to write home about, but

767
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 4: I think this change is big stage. They've had Tennessee's numbers,

768
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 4: they've they've won eight straight and they've blown Tennessee out

769
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 4: consistently on the road. And so for an offense that's

770
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 4: been lacking thus far, I think they look better today

771
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 4: in a big test against Tennessee. So with Tennessee's up tempo,

772
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 4: go go, go, go go, and they've been really efficient

773
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:26,160
Speaker 4: so far offensively, I just think that we're in store

774
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 4: for some first half firewards. I like, over twenty four

775
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 4: and a half in.

776
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 6: Now, one can't argue it. I mean, especially Georgia, I

777
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 6: think Tennessee's going.

778
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 5: To really stack the box against the run because Georgia's

779
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 5: run game is.

780
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 6: Looks really good and their online looks fantastic.

781
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 5: What that will do is it will create a lot

782
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 5: of one on one matchups on the outside. And these

783
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 5: receivers for Georgia are legit this year branch the transfer

784
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 5: and Kobe Young's fantastic. So I could see some explosives

785
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 5: early in the game for Georgia if they kind of

786
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 5: want to back this Tennessee defense up off the line

787
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 5: of scrim at. Tennessee's defense is aggressive, they play downhill,

788
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 5: so I could.

789
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 6: Absolutely see there being some explosives.

790
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 5: All right, we got cow money line, We got a

791
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 5: and M plus six and a half. We got Georgia

792
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 5: Tennessee over twenty four and a half in the first half.

793
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 5: We slap a twenty five percent odds boost on this sucker,

794
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 5: thank you very much at MGM.

795
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 6: Nine to one.

796
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 5: That's a pretty spicy money line. That's a pretty spicy parlay.

797
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 2: Guys.

798
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 6: I like this one three legger nine to.

799
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:27,840
Speaker 4: One, nine to one. Okay, what is it without the boost?

800
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,360
Speaker 5: By the way, without the boost, it's plus seven to twenty,

801
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 5: which is still not fast.

802
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:31,800
Speaker 4: Boost.

803
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 6: Yeah to the boost is.

804
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 5: Listen they give me one of these every week. I

805
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:39,720
Speaker 5: always recommend when you get a profit boost an odds boost.

806
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 6: Take a swing.

807
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 5: Don't make a minus one ten, a plus one ten,

808
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 5: that's boring. Like take a swing, make a five to one,

809
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 5: six to one, a ten to one like that to me,

810
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 5: is how you really use these odds boosts to your advantage?

811
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,240
Speaker 4: Like my yes, very good advice.

812
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:56,200
Speaker 2: It really is.

813
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 4: Crack says that all the time on the Sunday show, you.

814
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 2: Know swing man.

815
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, same thing with the free bets too. Take a swing.

816
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 5: If you get a free bet, put it on one

817
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 5: hundred to one, fifty to one, Like, take a swing.

818
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 6: It's a free bet. A free swing.

819
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 4: Does it say anywhere in there, like have a leg

820
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 4: against the Irish? Is that part of the No, that's.

821
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 6: Not part of the terms and conditions. We kind of

822
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 6: came up with that one on the fly here.

823
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just want to make sure to make sure

824
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 4: on though. All right, come it up next, So one

825
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,280
Speaker 4: of the biggest games of the day and a funny

826
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:34,920
Speaker 4: joke eases us into the breakdown. Oh, good morning, welcome

827
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,920
Speaker 4: in here, Happy Saturday to your full slate of college

828
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 4: football action. Can't wait for it? We are what under

829
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 4: two minutes, two minutes, two hours away from kickoff in

830
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 4: the early window. Here we will get to one of

831
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,879
Speaker 4: the biggest matchups of the day and the funny joke

832
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 4: to start the whole thing that's in a couple of seconds.

833
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 6: Hey.

834
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,279
Speaker 4: Throughout the entire football season, bet MGM will offer all

835
00:40:56,280 --> 00:40:59,320
Speaker 4: different types of no sweat tokens and odds boost tokens

836
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,440
Speaker 4: beyond the lookout for no sweat, same game parlay tokens,

837
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 4: parlay boost tokens, and so much more. All Right, we've

838
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 4: got number six Georgia against number fifteen Tennessee, the SEC

839
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 4: matchup of the day, one of the biggest college games

840
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 4: of the entire slate. We mentioned this at the beginning

841
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:21,440
Speaker 4: of the show where former Tennessee quarterback Nico IAmA layava

842
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 4: he would be getting ready for this game, but he's

843
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 4: now at UCLA and it was such a disaster for

844
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 4: UCLA last night losing to New Mexico. There was a

845
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 4: tweet from Reddit College Football and it just said UCLA

846
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 4: reportedly exploring a move to the FCS Big Sky and

847
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 4: then it says source I made it up. Then the

848
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 4: Big Sky Conference quote tweeted this and just wrote no,

849
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 4: thank you. It's like we're good. We don't want Ucla.

850
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 4: We're good on That's pretty freaking funny, but that's where

851
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 4: it is right now for UCLA. In IAmA Layava, so

852
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 4: now Joey aguilars in. Joey Aguilar's father, he made some

853
00:42:03,560 --> 00:42:05,359
Speaker 4: noise this week where he's like, I think it's pretty

854
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 4: obvious who won this trade. Like Joey was the UCLA

855
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 4: quarterback now the Tennessee quarterback, and Iamlayava went from ut

856
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 4: to to u C l A. Uh, Aguilar traded up,

857
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,279
Speaker 4: Iva traded down. But we see Joey Aguilar on a

858
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 4: stage that Nico was once on and a huge matchup,

859
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 4: arguably the biggest day game of the day. And uh,

860
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 4: you know, props to Joey. He he's in a much

861
00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 4: better spot right now against the Dogs, but that can

862
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 4: change real quick. Dogs play real defense and Tennessee's offense,

863
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:42,840
Speaker 4: they absolutely have their work cut out for them today.

864
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

865
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think this comes down to Georgia upfront and

866
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,040
Speaker 7: really with the front seven and maybe with some of

867
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:53,279
Speaker 7: their secondary and the pressure that they're going to bring

868
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:57,720
Speaker 7: to Joey Algalar, who does struggle when he's under duress.

869
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 7: You know, early season statistically, when he's pressured, he does

870
00:43:01,520 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 7: freak out a little bit. So you know that that's

871
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,359
Speaker 7: gonna be the plan for the Bulldogs, who pulled off

872
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 7: the winning Athens last year in a big win, and

873
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:12,600
Speaker 7: they've won eight straight over the Balls, So this continues

874
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 7: to be an SEC beat down that that largely favors Uga.

875
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 7: I like George too. I like him because you know, defense,

876
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 7: early season defense travels. Defense is the marquis, It's the

877
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 7: ten pole for a lot of teams, and typically the

878
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 7: best teams are playing, you know, some of their better

879
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 7: defense out the gates of the season, and that's what

880
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,359
Speaker 7: we've seen from Georgia so far.

881
00:43:39,320 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, the defense is back guys, and it's not household

882
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 5: names yet. There's no Jalen Carters yet that we know of,

883
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:51,439
Speaker 5: right like lock first round pick type players. But when

884
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,239
Speaker 5: I watch this defense, and I know it was Austin Pee,

885
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna go crazy here, but there's dudes.

886
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 6: That are just flying around.

887
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 5: They've got a freshman nose tackle who looks like a

888
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 5: first round pick, huge first step off the.

889
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:09,719
Speaker 6: Ball, can beat anybody in the A gap.

890
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 5: They've got some edge rushers that are very very talented

891
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,319
Speaker 5: and they're all young. They're all freshmen and sophomores. Quintavius

892
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 5: Johnson naturally gifted athlete, no wasted movement. He plays the

893
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 5: jack position for Georgia. Another jack right. These are the

894
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 5: edge rushers. Elo Medozi, He's a junior transfer from Army,

895
00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 5: former receiver now playing edge rusher in the SEC. He's

896
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 5: got receiver type athleticism at the edge rusher position. And

897
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 5: then Chris Cole sophomore, good band, great closing speed to

898
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 5: the quarterback. Again, these are athletes at the edge, defensive

899
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 5: line spots their safety Kyroen Jones really flashing as well,

900
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:50,120
Speaker 5: heavy body, gets into the box.

901
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:51,280
Speaker 6: I think this honestly.

902
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 5: I think at the end of the year, guys, we're

903
00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 5: gonna be talking about this Georgia defense like a couple

904
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:58,040
Speaker 5: of years ago when they just ran through the entire country.

905
00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,040
Speaker 5: I don't know if their offense is that good yet.

906
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 5: I think the defense though, with the front and then

907
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 5: the secondary. kJ Bolden's a guy that's a name you've

908
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,800
Speaker 5: probably heard before. Like it just it feels like Kirby

909
00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 5: Smart's kind of getting his.

910
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 6: Groove back with the defense.

911
00:45:17,840 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 5: And if Gunner Stockton can figure out how to make

912
00:45:20,760 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 5: the throws and not make the big mistake. They've got

913
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 5: weapons on the offensive line and at receiver and at

914
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 5: running back. Man, I think this is the beginnings and

915
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 5: you want to get ahead of it because Georgia owns Tennessee.

916
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,600
Speaker 5: Kirby Smart's four to zero against Joshhipelats and sipel took

917
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 5: over the program. The difference here is all of those

918
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 5: spreads were big spreads. They were all nine, ten, eleven, fourteen,

919
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 5: twenty points because Tennessee was bad and then up and

920
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,240
Speaker 5: coming in Georgia was great. Now Georgia, in our minds,

921
00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:54,800
Speaker 5: is a little bit down, but I think the talent

922
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 5: is there. So this could be one of those statement

923
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 5: games where Georgia comes in and just lays a whooping

924
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:01,719
Speaker 5: on tennis and we're like, Wow, this is a really

925
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,839
Speaker 5: good Georgia team that we just haven't heard about yet.

926
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:04,359
Speaker 2: You know.

927
00:46:04,520 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 4: I would say the headlining act in this game is

928
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 4: Tennessee's offense against George's defense. You know, but a good

929
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:16,320
Speaker 4: warm up band really is George's offense against Tennessee's defense, because,

930
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 4: like you said, Jared, Tennessee is aggressive defensively. They go

931
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:25,839
Speaker 4: after you. They're trying to go straight downhill and they

932
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 4: will leave themselves vulnerable. And it does make sense in

933
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 4: a matchup like this because Gunner Stockton is not throwing

934
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 4: the ball downfield at all, but Tennessee might dare him

935
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 4: to do that today, and that's gonna be really interesting

936
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 4: to watch. Can he hit a couple of explosives because

937
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 4: he's gonna have some one on one matchups, there's no

938
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 4: doubt about that. And he's got some playmakers too, So

939
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 4: Gunner Stockton, he's got to get it going. He's got

940
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:51,880
Speaker 4: to dial it up. And what a stage to do

941
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 4: it on against a team that's been much better now

942
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 4: than it has been over the years in this rivalry.

943
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 4: But man like George's gotta find some explosive offense because

944
00:47:03,280 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 4: that's been tough to come by against much lesser opponents.

945
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,440
Speaker 4: When they're scoring twenty eight against Austin p they're favored

946
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 4: in the forties, right. We talked to Seamus last week

947
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 4: and he's like, yeah, fade Kirby when he lay in forty.

948
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 4: Some points they just don't cover and normally it's like

949
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,200
Speaker 4: they took their foot off the accelerator. Their foot wasn't

950
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,440
Speaker 4: on the accelerator to begin with last week against Austin

951
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 4: p So, they got to find some offense and that

952
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 4: begins with Gunner Stockton. They've got to be able to

953
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 4: find some explosive pass plays in that offense.

954
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 7: Yeah, not to overemphasize it, but sometimes defense is your

955
00:47:37,360 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 7: best offense. And here's why, because you can force more offense.

956
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 7: And Joey Aglar his last two seasons at Appalachian State.

957
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,720
Speaker 2: Now look, I mean.

958
00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 7: Again, different level, but still you gotta look at everything.

959
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:56,440
Speaker 7: This is per Pro football focus. When facing pressure. He

960
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 7: has fifty one turnover worthy plays versus fifty.

961
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 2: Big time plays.

962
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 7: So PFF looks at it through the lens of hey,

963
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 7: not just was it an interception? Was it an interceptible

964
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 7: football that Agalar threw? And under pressure when he's going

965
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 7: for it all and he's tossing one up. Sometimes it's

966
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 7: with a hope and a prayer, and in fact, the

967
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 7: majority of the time, if you look at it, I

968
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 7: mean it's it's it's fifty one to fifty, So it's

969
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 7: it's not a good number when you're going against a

970
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 7: team that likes the pressure and you're faced with an

971
00:48:37,280 --> 00:48:40,359
Speaker 7: enormous sec matchup which you're gonna have to get used

972
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,720
Speaker 7: to if you're gonna play in this conference to start

973
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 7: your season. I look the defense, like like Jared said,

974
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 7: it hasn't been minted. It's filled with dudes. Nobody's emerged

975
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 7: as the guy yet. But they got guys on that

976
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 7: Georgia defense. And I'm really curious to see if their

977
00:48:57,239 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 7: offense is embuoied by second chances that they're defense gets

978
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 7: them and kind of gets the ball rolling offensively and

979
00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 7: gets stocked in more opportunities with the ball in his

980
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:11,000
Speaker 7: hands offensively, if their defense does what I think they're gonna.

981
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 5: Do today, Yeah, let's talk a little bit about the

982
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:18,880
Speaker 5: Georgia offense. I am very excited for this offensive. One

983
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 5: Monroe Feeling is a first round left tackle. Love that

984
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 5: Drew Bobo. You might recognize that name, son of the

985
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 5: former quarterback current O C Mike Bobo.

986
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,359
Speaker 6: Very high football IQ.

987
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 5: And then they're right guard Dantrell Glover, highest graded freshman

988
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:36,799
Speaker 5: at the position last week.

989
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:37,840
Speaker 6: And I know it's Austin P.

990
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:39,760
Speaker 5: Again, I'm not going to go crazy over a twenty

991
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 5: eight to six win over Austin P. We've established that

992
00:49:42,480 --> 00:49:46,280
Speaker 5: Kirby doesn't cover these big numbers. But this offensive line

993
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 5: is mean and they're physical, and I love the trio

994
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 5: of bat. We have three backs. We know Nate Frazer,

995
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,920
Speaker 5: he was all SEC last year. He's he's I think

996
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 5: it was actually all freshman SEC last year. I think

997
00:49:57,200 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 5: this year he's all SEC preseason. But the other two

998
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,719
Speaker 5: guys are very worth mentioning. Bowens looks like a rock

999
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 5: star and Dwight Phillips was a track star in high school, so.

1000
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 6: He's got the speed.

1001
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 5: Bowens is kind of the bruiser, and Fraser's kind of

1002
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 5: all all around back. So you've got three, I think,

1003
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,760
Speaker 5: very talented running backs and a really good offensive line.

1004
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 5: Tennessee is gonna have to crash down hard on this

1005
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 5: run game or else. George is just gonna own time

1006
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 5: of possession, and what's that gonna do. It's gonna give

1007
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 5: guys like Kobe Young, Dilon Bell, Zacharie Branch very dangerous athletes.

1008
00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,680
Speaker 5: You saw a Branch take a screen pass and score

1009
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks ago against Marshall. A lot of

1010
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 5: one on ones on the outside. Gunner Stockton's not Peyton

1011
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,919
Speaker 5: Manning and he's not Tom Brady. He's not that kind

1012
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 5: of cerebral quarterback just yet. He's kind of a gamer,

1013
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 5: he's kind of a gutty kid. But anyone can make

1014
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,239
Speaker 5: one on one vertical throws on the outside. You give

1015
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 5: me one on one with you know, any of these guys,

1016
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,399
Speaker 5: and you just throw it up and you let them

1017
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 5: make their plays. You don't have to be a rocket

1018
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 5: scientist at the line of scrimmage to figure this out.

1019
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 5: Tennessee's gonna crash. They're gonna hard, and I think it's

1020
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 5: gonna open up some situations. Oh by the way, Jermad McCoy,

1021
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 5: Ricky Gibson, two starting corners for Tennessee both out today.

1022
00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 4: Oh by the way, their starting corners are out.

1023
00:51:13,280 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, Oh by the way, Yeah, it's CB three, CB

1024
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 5: four against those starting receivers for Georgia. Like this, I'll

1025
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:26,720
Speaker 5: be honest, this feels like Georgia forty two Tennessee twenty.

1026
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 5: Like honestly, I would not be surprised if Tennessee, who

1027
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 5: plays very aggressive, it just snowballs. It just completely gets

1028
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 5: out of hand. Because Georgia wants a statement right now,

1029
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 5: everyone thinks Georgia is not a good team, or maybe

1030
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 5: not that maybe that's too harsh.

1031
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:43,240
Speaker 6: No One thinks they're.

1032
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 5: A national title contender right now. I think if they

1033
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,480
Speaker 5: go into Knoxville and drop a big number today, I

1034
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 5: think that narrative changes.

1035
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, And it's one of these it's a good spot

1036
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 4: to like be ahead of the curve if you will,

1037
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 4: right Like, I think Georgia is one of the few

1038
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 4: top teams teams that's gotten some cupcakes and hasn't looked dominant,

1039
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, And so it's a decent

1040
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 4: spot to just say, hey, man, I know they haven't

1041
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,200
Speaker 4: looked great offensively, but everything that you laid out there,

1042
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 4: Jared and rich it does set up for a potentially

1043
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 4: explosive day for George's offense. Put up a good amount

1044
00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 4: of points, so to see it before it happens is

1045
00:52:22,719 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 4: a great anticipation type spot to back the dogs. I

1046
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 4: feel like today on the road against ut we'll see

1047
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 4: if they get it done, man, but a great matchup.

1048
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:33,480
Speaker 4: Really looking forward to it. We've got rich oorn Berger,

1078
00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 4: player over here, but every now and then I have

1079
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 4: no choice but to throw a teammate under the bus.

1080
00:54:12,560 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 2: You know what I mean.

1081
00:54:14,200 --> 00:54:18,920
Speaker 4: My teammate rich Ornberger. He's not only going against my

1082
00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:22,280
Speaker 4: fighting Irish with the Aggies plus six and a half. Today,

1083
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 4: he was kicking around a potential money line bet over here,

1084
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 4: a money line pick with the Aggies, before he came

1085
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 4: to his senses and just took the points. What do

1086
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 4: you think of these radical thoughts from rich Ornberger here?

1087
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 4: Seamus and Seamus?

1088
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,720
Speaker 7: I mean, look, business over friendship. I mean we're talking

1089
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:41,480
Speaker 7: betting here. I mean I I just wanted to give

1090
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 7: you that, you know, as you answer this question carefully.

1091
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 3: Well, for one, I think you know what answer you're

1092
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 3: gonna get from Seamus McGee when it comes to the

1093
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 3: fighting Irish.

1094
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,040
Speaker 2: Guys literally waving a while.

1095
00:54:56,080 --> 00:55:00,640
Speaker 3: He says it right, But I mean, h it's a

1096
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 3: decent shot for Rich. I mean, we're taking a lot

1097
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 3: of Notre Dame money this week. I think has to

1098
00:55:04,719 --> 00:55:06,959
Speaker 3: be a little expected. Notre Dame playing under the lights

1099
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 3: at home in South Bend, usually a pretty public team.

1100
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 3: So right now the book it will need the Aggies

1101
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,919
Speaker 3: to cover if if they went out right, that would

1102
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 3: be great for the book. Probably kills a lot of

1103
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 3: parlays as well.

1104
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, Rich, on the side of the sports books today,

1105
00:55:23,239 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 5: Sharp Ornberger over here, I love it is the sharp

1106
00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 5: side Georgia today or is it Tennessee? Because when I

1107
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 5: look at this number, Shamus, I feel like we're getting

1108
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 5: a discount on the Dogs and Kirby smart owns Josh Heipel,

1109
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 5: but this is a Tennessee team that can I think

1110
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,439
Speaker 5: blow up some potential of this Georgia team.

1111
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,799
Speaker 6: But I feel like George is the right side today.

1112
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 3: What do you think sharp side was Tennessee all week?

1113
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 3: I this lined open up and run a touchdown has

1114
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 3: been all the way down to three and a half

1115
00:55:56,239 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 3: just about thereabouts now, So I mean, right now, it's

1116
00:56:00,239 --> 00:56:02,959
Speaker 3: it's a lot of Tennessee money coming in from both

1117
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 3: sides here. It was we were taking some Georgia for

1118
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 3: some public Georgia money early, but it's been a lot

1119
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,760
Speaker 3: of Tennessee money in the past, you know, forty eight hours,

1120
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 3: I'd say, I think we're gonna need Georgia to cover here.

1121
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 4: I'm thinking out go ahead, right you that?

1122
00:56:17,280 --> 00:56:19,719
Speaker 7: Sorry, I was just jumping in to ask about this

1123
00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 7: North Texas Washington State game.

1124
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:24,800
Speaker 2: It's an odd spread.

1125
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 7: I mean, North Texas went all the way from plus

1126
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,879
Speaker 7: three and a half dogs to now being favored five

1127
00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 7: and a half. Is this more of a line movement

1128
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 7: based on what North Texas is or is it more

1129
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:38,480
Speaker 7: against what the Cougars aren't so far?

1130
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a weird one. It's a weird game, honestly.

1131
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 3: It's to see this point in the year. You know,

1132
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 3: North Texas had a really tough road trip to Western

1133
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,480
Speaker 3: Michigan last week. Wazoo obviously had a nice win last

1134
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 3: week as well, But yeah, North Texas been the sharp

1135
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,399
Speaker 3: side all week here. I'm not sure what handle's looking

1136
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 3: like here so far on this game, but I feel

1137
00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:08,560
Speaker 3: like we're gonna need Wazoo to come out with a

1138
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 3: covering five and a half.

1139
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,680
Speaker 4: Here, I'll tell you, I think the stinky line of

1140
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 4: the week is this Vanderbilt South Carolina game where you

1141
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,280
Speaker 4: look at the game Cocks, they're number eleven, they're at home,

1142
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 4: they've got a Heisman candidate at quarterback, and they're three

1143
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 4: point favorites against Vandy. Like some real, actual love for

1144
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 4: Vanderbilt in this matchup. What do you think about this

1145
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 4: one here, Seamus, You're.

1146
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 3: Dead right, this is the weirdest line of the week.

1147
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 3: I can't believe this is under three, to be honest.

1148
00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 3: I mean, you argue they both played the same team

1149
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 3: in Virginia Tech, one on neutral, one on the road,

1150
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 3: and one team did be the crap out of Virginia

1151
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 3: Tech and the other team didn't look that great. But yeah,

1152
00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 3: I'm looking at what we need here in this game.

1153
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 3: I think it's gonna be a big handle game. This

1154
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,400
Speaker 3: is a fun matchup between Sellers and Pavia and right

1155
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 3: now it is a lot of public money taking that

1156
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 3: South Carolina minus three, So we'll see how this shakes out.

1157
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 5: I'll be honest, I think another stinky line is Florida

1158
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 5: at LSU. I mean LSU is like Gangbusters, right, They

1159
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:19,640
Speaker 5: beat Clemson. Their defense looks legit, everyone's everything's hunky dory

1160
00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 5: with Brian Kelly. All of a sudden, and here comes

1161
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 5: Florida limping in after losing to USF and you can

1162
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 5: get this at under a touchdown if you want to

1163
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 5: bet LSU.

1164
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 6: It feels like.

1165
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 5: You're screaming for some Tigers money here. And this Gators team,

1166
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 5: I think, as bad as they look last week, the

1167
00:58:37,160 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 5: ceiling with DJ Lagway, I think is still good enough

1168
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 5: to beat LSU.

1169
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been.

1170
00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 3: It's been a bit both sides. Actually here, I think

1171
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 3: on this six and a half will end up getting

1172
00:58:48,440 --> 00:58:51,760
Speaker 3: a lot of LSU money. But Sharp's definitely kept this

1173
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 3: line to where it is right now. It's definitely a

1174
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 3: weird spot. It seems like so typical in college football

1175
00:58:58,160 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 3: where it's like, oh, everyone is out on this team Florida,

1176
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 3: and then the next week they'll probably go in to

1177
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 3: baton Rouge. They just went out right, you know, like

1178
00:59:06,120 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 3: it's such a weird sport and it's definitely a weird

1179
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:10,040
Speaker 3: line for sure.

1180
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 7: I'm guessing they took down bet MGM Penn State Villanova

1181
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 7: because so much money was pouring in on my nitney Lions, Seamus,

1182
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:21,160
Speaker 7: So give me the good news. How much are they

1183
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 7: gonna win by fifty sixty? What are we thinking?

1184
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny he had Indiana last I cover

1185
00:59:28,960 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 3: a forty seven and a half point spread relatively easy,

1186
00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,400
Speaker 3: and they almost had it covered in the first half.

1187
00:59:35,120 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 3: And Franklin's been you know, he's been toying around with

1188
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 3: this these big points first few weeks. So do they

1189
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 3: go for it this week? Did he just lay the

1190
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 3: hammer to Villanova who was going to Penn State. I

1191
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 3: don't know, it's gonna be tough, but I could see

1192
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 3: Franklin really trying to run it up just because they

1193
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 3: didn't look great against FIU and they I got to

1194
01:00:00,360 --> 01:00:01,919
Speaker 3: get Alur going, you know what I mean?

1195
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:06,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, absolutely all right, Seamus. So we've got a

1196
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 4: lot to pick from here. Where are you going with

1197
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:09,680
Speaker 4: your seamous special this week?

1198
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 3: You know, I was really close to pulling the trigger

1199
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:20,160
Speaker 3: on Temple with the points weird spot for Oklahoma on

1200
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 3: the road in Philly after a huge prime time win

1201
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 3: SEC play on.

1202
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:26,440
Speaker 2: Deck and at Temple.

1203
01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:28,520
Speaker 3: QB, by the way, who is one of the highest

1204
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 3: rated guys in the country right now. But instead, of

1205
01:00:32,840 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 3: course I have to go to ball State New Hampshire.

1206
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 3: We're taking New Hampshire out right?

1207
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 6: What New Hampshire?

1208
01:00:41,440 --> 01:00:43,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love him so much.

1209
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 3: Ball State's only laying three against New Hampshire at home.

1210
01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:50,840
Speaker 5: Here.

1211
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 7: It's everybody knows ball State plays New Hampshire tough.

1212
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 2: We've always said that.

1213
01:00:56,280 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's I mean, that's basically our every week we

1214
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:00,040
Speaker 5: say that here on the show.

1215
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 4: Man, What are you gonna do when it's not FBS

1216
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 4: versus fcs. You love these lines here, Seamous, you're all

1217
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 4: about the unbelievable line.

1218
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 3: Well, luckily that the smelly lines don't limit themselves to

1219
01:01:11,480 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 3: the FBS. There'll be plenty of FCF actions.

1220
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 6: Amen to that.

1221
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 4: All right, Seamus, you're the best man. Thanks for the time,

1222
01:01:20,600 --> 01:01:21,919
Speaker 4: Enjoy the day. We'll catch you soon.

1223
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 3: Joy the games, guys, have a good one you too.

1224
01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,320
Speaker 4: There He is Seamus McGee, team lead of sports trading

1225
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 4: at bed MGM. Man, I'll tell you what. Ball State

1226
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 4: is freaking terrible. They're they're bad. So that could be

1227
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 4: a very good pick by Seamus. We shall see. How

1228
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 4: about this. We've got Wisconsin at Alabama. Bama favored by

1229
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 4: nearly three touchdowns, twenty and a half total is forty

1230
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 4: five and a half. And we've got some injury news

1231
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:50,840
Speaker 4: that it was thought to be maybe running back jam

1232
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 4: Miller would be back, not expected to play, so he

1233
01:01:56,120 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 4: and also Tim Keenan, he's a defensive lineman. They're not

1234
01:02:00,280 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 4: expected to play against Wisconsin. So that's a big part

1235
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 4: of this handicap because you know, without jam Miller, they

1236
01:02:07,840 --> 01:02:10,640
Speaker 4: are missing some juice in that running game. A big

1237
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 4: part of the running game is out Ryan Williams, the

1238
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 4: stud wide receiver. He's expected to play. Now you look

1239
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 4: at Wisconsin, man, like, this is an offense that is

1240
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:23,120
Speaker 4: not well suited to go up against Alabama. You know,

1241
01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 4: it's not like Florida State, where they can throw a

1242
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 4: bunch at you. Their quarterback is elusive and athletic and

1243
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 4: there's some window dressing, and this is more straight ahead,

1244
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 4: no nonsense. Right, They're not a whole lot of bells

1245
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 4: and whistles. It's not an offense that gives Alabama problems.

1246
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,360
Speaker 4: And they're on their backup quarterback who's he's been efficient.

1247
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:47,040
Speaker 4: But in a spot like this, yikes, it's just a

1248
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 4: lot of points, a lot of points to lay with Bama.

1249
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:55,400
Speaker 4: But at least the matchup itself. I could see Bama

1250
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,160
Speaker 4: covering this. I would stay away because it's a lot

1251
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 4: of points, but I could see Bama covering this potentially.

1252
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, this is a hard one to go with because

1253
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:11,480
Speaker 7: there's so much uncertainty early season, a road test for

1254
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 7: a team that already has flux at quarterback. Edwards out

1255
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 7: O'Neill in the transfer from San Diego State. Over this offseason,

1256
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:22,640
Speaker 7: I watched a full season on Danny O'Neill. I saw

1257
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 7: every single snap he took last year, and he was

1258
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:26,800
Speaker 7: a project.

1259
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 2: He's a true sophomore.

1260
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,240
Speaker 7: He had a full season as a true freshman under

1261
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 7: his belt at San Diego State and competed.

1262
01:03:33,880 --> 01:03:35,479
Speaker 2: He is a tough dude.

1263
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:39,280
Speaker 7: He plays hurt, so you know, even though they have

1264
01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 7: a quarterback injury situation, it's gonna take a lot to

1265
01:03:42,520 --> 01:03:46,960
Speaker 7: take O'Neill off the field. However, like you said, Tuscaloosa

1266
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 7: on the road, you've only thrown twenty seven passes so

1267
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 7: far this season. It's only your second year in college

1268
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 7: football and you're playing in front of the Crimson Tide fans.

1269
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:02,400
Speaker 7: It's a tough spot for the best and regardless of

1270
01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 7: what you want to say about Bama in terms of

1271
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 7: the number and covering the number. It's just one of

1272
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 7: those games where unless you have a great feeling about

1273
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 7: one side or the other, unless you have a great

1274
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,560
Speaker 7: feeling about taking the points or giving him away. I

1275
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 7: agree with you, Brian, this is just with all of

1276
01:04:18,440 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 7: the added injury notes, this is a stay away game.

1277
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1278
01:04:22,440 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 2: I kind of like Bama here.

1279
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 4: You do really well.

1280
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:27,920
Speaker 6: Well, let's let's talk this out.

1281
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1282
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 5: Danny O'Neill, Rich Hornberger's guy from SDSU watched them a

1283
01:04:32,560 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 5: ton last year. He just said he's a project. He

1284
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 5: has never faced a power for opponent in his career.

1285
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 5: That would be the first one. Wow, you're on the

1286
01:04:41,120 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 5: road at Bama.

1287
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1288
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 5: Last year he played two really big games. Rich was

1289
01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:49,320
Speaker 5: on the call for both boys e UNLV.

1290
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 4: That's one of those two game games right there.

1291
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 5: That's massive games in those two games, pro.

1292
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 6: In those two games, those are not good games.

1293
01:05:00,120 --> 01:05:04,919
Speaker 5: Riches cast x No, No, they were not for combined ants.

1294
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 5: They got outscored ninety seven to forty four. By the way,

1295
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 5: what is Wisconsin known for? Run the ballground and pound?

1296
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 5: Right Their leading rusher in this game is gonna be

1297
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:20,080
Speaker 5: a red shirt freshman by the name of Dylan Edwards,

1298
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 5: who now has forty career carries under his belt, more

1299
01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:29,200
Speaker 5: than half of them this year. That is your offensive output,

1300
01:05:29,560 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 5: your main guys, your quarterback, you're running back.

1301
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:33,160
Speaker 6: I just laid it out for you.

1302
01:05:33,800 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 5: Meanwhile, on the other side, Bama coming off a shutout

1303
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 5: win over ULM, and I know you're like, oh, ULM stinks.

1304
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 5: I like their head coach, Brian Vincent. He's turned that

1305
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 5: program around. So I think that shutout win is kind

1306
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 5: of the turning point. And now you get the statement game.

1307
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:56,720
Speaker 5: Right we had we had the Florida State disaster. Now

1308
01:05:56,760 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 5: you get the bounce back against ULM. Now you get

1309
01:05:59,720 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 5: the statement against the Big ten team. Yeah, style points matter.

1310
01:06:04,360 --> 01:06:06,600
Speaker 5: Alabama's behind the eight ball. They've already got a loss

1311
01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 5: under their belt. The SEC gauntlet will not be forgiving.

1312
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 5: I think style points matter, and I think if Alabama

1313
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 5: can win by fifty, they will. Now maybe they can't

1314
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 5: because their offense is still a little bit wonky. But

1315
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 5: my handicap on this Bama team going into the year

1316
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:29,280
Speaker 5: was the defense is elite, and they got punked by

1317
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 5: Malson and Castillanos in Week one, and they came back

1318
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 5: and they put up a zero in Week two. I

1319
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 5: don't think Wisconsin' scoring too many points with Danny O'Neil

1320
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 5: and Dylan Edwards this week, So if Alabama can drop

1321
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 5: forty or fifty, it just it feels like this is

1322
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:44,280
Speaker 5: like last year.

1323
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 6: This was forty two to.

1324
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:48,600
Speaker 5: Ten in Madison, Right, Yeah, I mean, what's to say.

1325
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:50,480
Speaker 5: That's not the score line again, and that's a pretty

1326
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 5: that's a double digit cover for Bama this week.

1327
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 4: Well, that's the thing. It's funny you said that because

1328
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:57,000
Speaker 4: I just had a flashback. I had a it was

1329
01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 4: like a Facebook memory last year, and it was I

1330
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 4: had a flashback to like Jared, you and I we

1331
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:07,959
Speaker 4: were in DC yeah for this show, and Rich would

1332
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 4: have been there too, but he had broadcasting duties going on,

1333
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 4: so it's just you and me. And that was the

1334
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 4: day I remember, like, after the show, we went out,

1335
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 4: we're watching games with the bet MGM people, you know,

1336
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 4: roubin elbows and all that good stuff. And that's when

1337
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:27,120
Speaker 4: Bama crushed Wisconsin crushed him. And that game's on the

1338
01:07:27,200 --> 01:07:31,320
Speaker 4: road for Alabama. And listen, there are some not everybody's back,

1339
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:33,120
Speaker 4: but there are still a lot of players that are

1340
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:36,680
Speaker 4: are still around in this same matchup. So the thing

1341
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 4: that directly translates to today's game from last year's matchup

1342
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 4: is that Wisconsin's offense is not well suited to go

1343
01:07:46,200 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 4: up against Bama's defense at all. And that's the thing.

1344
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:53,080
Speaker 4: It's not like Bama who was brutal in their opener

1345
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:56,880
Speaker 4: against Florida State. That was an embarrassing loss. They got punked.

1346
01:07:57,360 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 4: It's not like blowing out the Warhawks last week, you know,

1347
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 4: seventy three to nothing. They're like, all right, cool, we

1348
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 4: can just ease back into the schedule here. If they

1349
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:10,120
Speaker 4: get up on Wisconsin and they're pushing them around, they

1350
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 4: are going to do everything they can to embarrass them.

1351
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 4: They are not This is not a team like maybe Miami.

1352
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:18,679
Speaker 4: They get up on South Florida and they lose focus

1353
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 4: a little bit if Miami. If Alabama gets up on Wisconsin,

1354
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 4: they will pummel Wisconsin. They're not going to just kind

1355
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 4: of lose focus and Wisconsin eases back into the game.

1356
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:31,880
Speaker 4: That will not happen. If they get up they're gonna

1357
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:32,840
Speaker 4: punk them big time.

1358
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 7: Well, and Bama has the backs to do it also,

1359
01:08:36,600 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 7: So say they score quick a couple of times, even

1360
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 7: with jam out, this kid Riley, who's backing him up

1361
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:47,520
Speaker 7: is good. You saw him against ULM. He's already averaging

1362
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:51,560
Speaker 7: over six yards per carry this season. You know he

1363
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 7: may emerge as the guy out of that backfield at

1364
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 7: some point. Anyways, But then you mentioned Alabama's defense, who

1365
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 7: held Louisiana Monroe to one forty eight total total yards,

1366
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 7: one forty eight, three turnovers. I mean that's basically like

1367
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:11,760
Speaker 7: in baseball throwing a complete game shutout. Yeah, I mean,

1368
01:09:11,800 --> 01:09:15,720
Speaker 7: it's almost a perfect game. You know, it's it's a

1369
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,760
Speaker 7: beautiful performance. And like you said, a lot of hostility

1370
01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:24,040
Speaker 7: to take out after being fourteen plus point favorites over

1371
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 7: FSU and getting dominated to open your season. And Caitlin

1372
01:09:28,960 --> 01:09:31,800
Speaker 7: de Boor, he has to go a long way to

1373
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 7: win back the tuscalosis that he lost Week one. So

1374
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:38,320
Speaker 7: if they get up, you know, I mean, like this

1375
01:09:38,360 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 7: is one of those spots where I don't love it

1376
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:42,960
Speaker 7: out the gates, But like Brian's saying, if they have

1377
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:47,799
Speaker 7: a lead, say it's a two score, thirteen points, twenty

1378
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:51,840
Speaker 7: point lead at halftime, they're not going to stop the onslaught.

1379
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:55,720
Speaker 7: Whatever the second half over or point spread is, you

1380
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 7: could probably side with the Tide and be doing your

1381
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:00,880
Speaker 7: wild favorite because I agree with you. I think they

1382
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 7: will pour it on the Badgers.

1383
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:06,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, Bama's on the on the card this week, guys,

1384
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 5: I'll give it. I mean, I know, you know, the

1385
01:10:08,960 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 5: people listening now probably aren't going to be listening or

1386
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 5: hopefully you're listening the whole show. Actually shout out to

1387
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 5: Johnny mcbett on Twitter. He says, we need more than

1388
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 5: three hours. You listen to Scott's you give us an

1389
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 5: extra hour. No, I think I think this is on

1390
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 5: the card. This was on my College Football Contest weekly card.

1391
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 5: Under three touchdowns feels like a bet and I think

1392
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 5: it's twenty and a half right now on BETMGM, it's.

1393
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 4: A nit down ever so slightly nineteen and a half.

1394
01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 6: So someone's betting Wisconsin. Good luck, Good luck.

1395
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 5: Whoever's betting Wisconsin, come call me up because I'll take

1396
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 5: your money. I just don't see how they're scoring much

1397
01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 5: in this game. I really like Bama's run defense. My

1398
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 5: handicap on them coming into the year was this is

1399
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:50,840
Speaker 5: going to be one of the best run defenses in

1400
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 5: college football. And everybody jumped off the bandwagon because Gus

1401
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 5: Malzon had six months to prepare and Castianos ran left, right,

1402
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:02,400
Speaker 5: and center. There isn't a There isn't a Thomas Castianas

1403
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:04,600
Speaker 5: on this Wisconsin team. I mean, Rich just gave you

1404
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 5: the cap he watched Danny O'Neil all of last year.

1405
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 5: Can you make that comparison? Is daniy O'Neil and even

1406
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:13,080
Speaker 5: even close to the running quarterback of Thomas Castiano's. Those

1407
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 5: mobile quarterbacks have given these Bama defense's problems. But I

1408
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 5: don't think that's going to be the case today.

1409
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 7: Now he's he's he's undersized also, which is it hurts

1410
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 7: you if you're Wisconsin and you're gonna try to win

1411
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 7: kind of throwing the change up pitch. Sometimes you see

1412
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 7: a backup come in the game. Plans not clear against him.

1413
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,800
Speaker 7: You could see him have some success. You have to

1414
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 7: be careful because remember you're on QB number two with

1415
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:38,679
Speaker 7: Edwards out. If you're the Badgers and the season's just begun.

1416
01:11:39,240 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 7: If you get this kid hurt and Edwards isn't back

1417
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 7: and it doesn't sound like he's going to be back

1418
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,639
Speaker 7: this week or potentially next week, this could really throw

1419
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:51,920
Speaker 7: your season into a tailspin. So don't expect to see

1420
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 7: Danie O'Neil also risking life and limb, especially if this

1421
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 7: game is starting to get out of hand in the

1422
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:00,880
Speaker 7: you know, toward the end to the first half.

1423
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 2: Man.

1424
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 4: And that's like, that's the most interesting stat to me

1425
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:08,839
Speaker 4: is Danny O'Neil's first power for opponent.

1426
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, Oregon State was the closest he came last year,

1427
01:12:11,400 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 6: but they're kind of you know in France.

1428
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:16,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's a true software Brian. He's only appeared.

1429
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,679
Speaker 7: This will be his what fifteenth game of his career.

1430
01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:19,880
Speaker 7: He's ever He's in.

1431
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 5: Tuss the LUSA against a BAMA team that is foaming

1432
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 5: at the mouth.

1433
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 2: Tough.

1434
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 4: That's tough, spot ask tough.

1435
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 2: I'm rooting for him.

1436
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 7: Great family, awesome parents, really really wonderful kid.

1437
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 2: And I'm listen.

1438
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 7: If he goes out there and balls out, oh man,

1439
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 7: I will stand with a salute the figures to the

1440
01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:42,320
Speaker 7: forehead and I will say good on you, brother. It's

1441
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 7: it's an uphill climb though, because of all the reasons

1442
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 7: we lay down. But that's why we love college football. Yeah,

1443
01:12:47,720 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 7: because stars are born every Saturday.

1444
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:53,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt. All right, we got rich Orenberger, Penn State,

01:14:04,080 --> 01:14:05,639
Speaker 4: with you with something you have circled.

1469
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just gonna keep fading John Matteer until I

1470
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 5: win one of these bets because.

1471
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:10,599
Speaker 6: Last week he proved me wrong.

1472
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 5: Now, to be fair, last week it was I did

1473
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 5: not expect there to be so many explosives in the game.

1474
01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 6: Michigan did not tackle very well.

1475
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 5: But this week, instead of going under on Mattier's passing yards,

1476
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:24,280
Speaker 5: let's try to go under on his rushing yards. And

1477
01:14:24,320 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 5: we talk about this all the time, right, it's hard

1478
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,679
Speaker 5: to bet over on rushing yards for quarterbacks because of sacks. Well,

1479
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:32,720
Speaker 5: you can bet the under and you will get the

1480
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 5: advantage of the sacks.

1481
01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:37,200
Speaker 6: So he had seven carries for twenty four yards in

1482
01:14:37,280 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 6: Week one against Illinois State.

1483
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:42,400
Speaker 5: Then he had the explosion last week nineteen carries for

1484
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:47,280
Speaker 5: seventy four yards two tuds against Michigan. We mentioned this before,

1485
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 5: actually Seamus mentioned it. We haven't talked about it yet.

1486
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 5: We can later. But this is a massive sandwich game

1487
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,040
Speaker 5: for Oklahoma. You get Auburn on deck, he had Michigan

1488
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 5: last week and in the SEC Gauntlet to come. Ben

1489
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 5: Arbuckle needs to keep some bullet in the chamber for

1490
01:15:00,840 --> 01:15:03,080
Speaker 5: down the stretch of this season. I do not think

1491
01:15:03,320 --> 01:15:06,360
Speaker 5: John Mattier's legs need to be a weapon for you

1492
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 5: to beat Temple. So let's throttle down here, mister arbuckle.

1493
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 5: Let's give John some nice easy throws to the outside,

1494
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 5: no design quarterback runs, and let's cruise.

1495
01:15:15,960 --> 01:15:17,479
Speaker 6: To a win in Philly over Temple.

1496
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:19,920
Speaker 5: So we'll go under forty two and a half rushing

1497
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:20,760
Speaker 5: yards for.

1498
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 6: The Oklahoma Sooners quarterback.

1499
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:29,520
Speaker 7: Okay Arkansaw head into Mississippi to face Ole Miss. Arkansas

1500
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:31,760
Speaker 7: right now dog by seven points, but I want to

1501
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:35,559
Speaker 7: concentrate on their quarterback Tayling Green, who I got.

1502
01:15:35,360 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 2: To see a lot last season.

1503
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:42,120
Speaker 7: His passing yardage is at two forty four and a half.

1504
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 7: I'm taking the over. Here's why Ole Miss. They don't

1505
01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 7: get to the quarterback in their pass rush, and they

1506
01:15:48,040 --> 01:15:50,439
Speaker 7: also don't tackle well. I think this is gonna be

1507
01:15:50,479 --> 01:15:52,800
Speaker 7: a close game, so you're gonna need to air the

1508
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,960
Speaker 7: ball out if you're the Razorbacks, and I think they will.

1509
01:15:56,080 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 7: I think they will effectively. And also when your bad

1510
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 7: tackle defense going against a high powered offense, the yards

1511
01:16:05,040 --> 01:16:07,720
Speaker 7: after the catch is what I'm looking at So it's

1512
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,599
Speaker 7: not only completing the ball downfield, having time in the pocket,

1513
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 7: but also if you get this out on a swing

1514
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:15,719
Speaker 7: pass or on a bubble screen. If ole Miss struggles

1515
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 7: to tackle your athletes in space, it only booies your

1516
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 7: passing stats. So give me Taylor Green over two forty

1517
01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 7: four and a half through the air today.

1518
01:16:24,200 --> 01:16:29,240
Speaker 4: Okay, Can I give you a random one? If random? Okay,

1519
01:16:30,400 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 4: I'm looking at Purdue running back Devin Macabee. I actually

1520
01:16:35,479 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 4: like over sixty three and a half rushing yards. They're

1521
01:16:38,720 --> 01:16:42,720
Speaker 4: at home against USC and here's the thing is, you

1522
01:16:42,800 --> 01:16:45,599
Speaker 4: might look at the spread and go like, wow, Purdue

1523
01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:49,439
Speaker 4: plus twenty and a half. If they're down, you know,

1524
01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 4: just game script, they're gonna be throwing the ball. They

1525
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 4: might just abandon the running game altogether. And while that's

1526
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 4: a possibility, I've seen them in this spot before. I

1527
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:01,800
Speaker 4: remember on the road against Ohio State, huge underdogs, and

1528
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:06,160
Speaker 4: they're running MacCabe, running him, running him, running him, trying to,

1529
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 4: you know, get some flow in that offense, trying to

1530
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 4: get positive yards, trying to you know, eat into the clock,

1531
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 4: you know, like let's keep this, let shorten this game.

1532
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,559
Speaker 4: While we're big underdogs, here, right, and so I think

1533
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:22,200
Speaker 4: that's what happens today. I think that they're gonna feed Makaby.

1534
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 4: It's not like USC is the eighty five Bears. You

1535
01:17:25,439 --> 01:17:28,479
Speaker 4: know their ruts defense can be exploited. So I'll go

1536
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,720
Speaker 4: Makaby over sixty three and a half rushing yards to

1537
01:17:31,840 --> 01:17:35,000
Speaker 4: perdue running back. That's about as random as I can get.

1538
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 2: On you today.

1539
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:36,719
Speaker 6: You know that is pretty random?

1540
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love it.

1541
01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:40,680
Speaker 5: How do we deal about baiting this A and M

1542
01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 5: run defense which is giving up a lot of yards?

1543
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 5: I know that goes against Rich's parlay platter. Yeah, but

1544
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 5: they are just getting Torq. That was the one thing

1545
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 5: I noticed when I was looking at the A and

1546
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 5: M notreed Ame cap this week was I was surprised.

1547
01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 5: I think it's they're giving up a buck forty on

1548
01:17:56,280 --> 01:17:58,680
Speaker 5: the ground this year and they haven't played.

1549
01:17:58,479 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 6: Gangbusters of a schedule yet. Yeah, Jadarian Price.

1550
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:04,479
Speaker 5: So the big question with Notre Dame and Brian, I'm

1551
01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 5: sure you pull your hair out every week watching, like

1552
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:08,960
Speaker 5: why don't they give Jeremiah Love more carries? Like it's

1553
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 5: like they never give him a full workload. He is

1554
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,360
Speaker 5: minus two dollars to score. I would stay away from that.

1555
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 4: Wow.

1556
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 5: But Jadarian Price, who again has been kind of this

1557
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 5: change up that is, I think, become more of a

1558
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:24,040
Speaker 5: fastball frankly for Notre Dame's running attack.

1559
01:18:23,840 --> 01:18:25,160
Speaker 6: Plus one eighty five to score.

1560
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:27,960
Speaker 5: So if they do get down on the goal line

1561
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:30,599
Speaker 5: and Love is, you know, on the sidelines taken up either,

1562
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:32,559
Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like both of these guys are

1563
01:18:32,600 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 5: pretty decent bets to score. I wouldn't bet the Love

1564
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:37,320
Speaker 5: price at minus two hundred. The other option is CJ

1565
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:39,559
Speaker 5: Cart plus one ninety. I think at Brian, I'll defer

1566
01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:41,599
Speaker 5: to you. You know, if we're going to attack this

1567
01:18:41,920 --> 01:18:44,599
Speaker 5: A and M run defense, we can't bet Love minus

1568
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:46,600
Speaker 5: two hundred. Would you prefer Price or Car at the

1569
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 5: same price? Essentially, that's a great question.

1570
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:54,879
Speaker 4: It's a it's a matter of how many, how many rushes,

1571
01:18:54,880 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 4: how many rushing attempts does Starian Price get.

1572
01:18:57,600 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 6: That's the thing is.

1573
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 4: I mean, maybe you get down by the goal line,

1574
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 4: but listen, Jeremiah Love is still a good goal line option.

1575
01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 4: It's not like every time that the run against your

1576
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:08,880
Speaker 4: Penn State Nitney Alliance, that's a goal line run. It's

1577
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,680
Speaker 4: the most famous run of last year, you know, so

1578
01:19:11,720 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 4: it's not like they just take him off the field

1579
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:14,240
Speaker 4: all the time.

1580
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:14,559
Speaker 2: There.

1581
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:18,160
Speaker 4: I would probably lean Car, I believe.

1582
01:19:17,880 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 5: It or not interesting, Yeah, because he's definitely going to

1583
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:21,000
Speaker 5: be on the field.

1584
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:23,080
Speaker 6: Whereas Price at the coin flip.

1585
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 4: You don't know right right, And it's fresh in my

1586
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:27,679
Speaker 4: mind where he ran for a touchdown against Miami.

1587
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:28,960
Speaker 6: He did for a touchdown.

1588
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:30,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, here you go, cej Car plus one ninety a

1589
01:19:30,760 --> 01:19:32,440
Speaker 5: little bonus bonus.

1590
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:33,800
Speaker 6: Sweetener for your problem at all.

1591
01:19:34,080 --> 01:19:36,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, not bad at all, Man, minus two hundred for

1592
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 4: Jeremiah at that. You can't if you're in the market

1593
01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,759
Speaker 4: for rushing yards. He's at seventy five and a half

1594
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,479
Speaker 4: Jeremiah Love, and it's a good spot for it, right

1595
01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 4: you You outlined how A and m has been rough

1596
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 4: against the rush, and you got to get him going.

1597
01:19:52,560 --> 01:19:55,360
Speaker 4: You absolutely have to get him going home opener. He

1598
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 4: didn't do anything against Miami and is a good spot

1599
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:02,920
Speaker 4: for Jeremiah Love. Just not that touchdown market. That's pretty wild.

1600
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 4: Minus two hundred. Okay, all right, comeing up next. Well,

1601
01:20:06,320 --> 01:20:08,760
Speaker 4: we started down this road, we might as well continue, right,

1602
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:12,599
Speaker 4: One guy to watch in a big matchup. Oh, good

1603
01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 4: Saturday morning to you. Hope everything is going great. We

1604
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:19,479
Speaker 4: are less than an hour away from kickoff in this

1605
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:24,479
Speaker 4: early noon Eastern window. Can't wait for that. We get

1606
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 4: a little bit later in the evening. I can't do

1607
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:30,120
Speaker 4: the quick math. Let me try, all right, how many

1608
01:20:30,120 --> 01:20:32,200
Speaker 4: hours are we away from the Irish? We are eight

1609
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 4: and a half hours away from kickoff of the Notre

1610
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 4: Dame fighting Irish. They're hosting Texas A and M. And

1611
01:20:39,560 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 4: I think it's a big game, bigger game for Notre

1612
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:44,800
Speaker 4: Dame because you lose this, you start off zero to two.

1613
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 4: You look at the schedule, schedule is really light, and

1614
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 4: that's that's kind of good, kind of bad, because even

1615
01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 4: if they run the table and they win ten straight games,

1616
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:58,639
Speaker 4: they're ten and two. I don't know if anyone's ranked.

1617
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:02,120
Speaker 4: They might have two logainst ranked teams and no wins

1618
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:06,559
Speaker 4: against ranked opponents. That could possibly be the case, depending

1619
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:08,280
Speaker 4: on how the rest of the schedule shakes out. It's

1620
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:11,080
Speaker 4: a big game for Notre Dame. You need this to

1621
01:21:11,160 --> 01:21:13,000
Speaker 4: be in a much better spot to be a playoff

1622
01:21:13,040 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 4: team because and you could argue, hey, it's Notre Dame.

1623
01:21:16,560 --> 01:21:18,760
Speaker 4: If they're ten and two, they'd probably find their way

1624
01:21:18,800 --> 01:21:21,840
Speaker 4: in the playoff there's no guarantee. It's a really light

1625
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:25,240
Speaker 4: schedule from here on out. So I think you got

1626
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 4: to get by Texas, A and M to have a

1627
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 4: really strong case when it comes time for the playoff

1628
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:34,240
Speaker 4: teams to be announced, right the committee. I know Notre

1629
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:38,080
Speaker 4: Dame's gonna they're gonna bring eyeballs and ratings and all

1630
01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 4: that good stuff. But if somebody else just has a

1631
01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 4: flat out much better resume, they might be on the

1632
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:44,760
Speaker 4: outside looking in. So you don't want to be in

1633
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:46,679
Speaker 4: a situation like that if you're the Irish.

1634
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, look, I like the points with the Agis, but

1635
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,160
Speaker 7: I don't like Notre Dame to start their season Z

1636
01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 7: one two. So those things run kind of, you know, counterintuitively.

1637
01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:00,679
Speaker 2: But if you believe that.

1638
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,599
Speaker 7: Marcus Freeman's gonna have his team ready to play, but

1639
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 7: you also believe that the Haggies are going to be

1640
01:22:06,240 --> 01:22:09,720
Speaker 7: ready for the challenge, well then you can hold those

1641
01:22:09,760 --> 01:22:13,120
Speaker 7: two truths in your head and they're not mutually exclusive.

1642
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:16,879
Speaker 7: Here's the problem for Notre Dame. They looked bad against Miami.

1643
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 7: Here's the good news. Miami looks real. Here's the bad

1644
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:24,719
Speaker 7: news for Notre Dame. They're going against their next big

1645
01:22:24,760 --> 01:22:27,240
Speaker 7: opponent and the ads you perfectly laid out.

1646
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 2: If they lose to them.

1647
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,439
Speaker 7: Here's the good news, because the motivation is going to

1648
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:35,679
Speaker 7: be a factor. After licking your wounds for an additional week.

1649
01:22:36,479 --> 01:22:38,400
Speaker 7: You have to win every single game for the rest

1650
01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:40,880
Speaker 7: of this season. There is no more any margin left.

1651
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 2: So I really like the spot.

1652
01:22:45,400 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 7: To take the points if you believe in the Haggis,

1653
01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:51,720
Speaker 7: But I don't really forecast anyway.

1654
01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 2: Freeman. Lets this team let this one slip.

1655
01:22:55,800 --> 01:23:00,360
Speaker 7: By, because if he does, you've just made yourself the

1656
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:02,960
Speaker 7: biggest bed, you know what I mean, and you're gonna

1657
01:23:02,960 --> 01:23:04,759
Speaker 7: have to sleep in it for the rest of the season.

1658
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:06,639
Speaker 2: You you have no wiggle room.

1659
01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 7: You're gonna have to blow certain teams out. You're gonna

1660
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:11,880
Speaker 7: have to win in dominant fashion for the rest of

1661
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:14,679
Speaker 7: the season, and that just puts you behind the eight ball.

1662
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 7: They need a big win. This is their opportunity. I

1663
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:19,320
Speaker 7: think they get that done today.

1664
01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1665
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:23,880
Speaker 5: We heard some chatter this week about Marcel Reid wanting

1666
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:27,360
Speaker 5: to be this you know quarterback that's not just the

1667
01:23:27,400 --> 01:23:31,200
Speaker 5: mobile quarterback right Like we know he can run, He's

1668
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:35,439
Speaker 5: taken a lot of time to improve his throwing ability

1669
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:37,400
Speaker 5: and his ability to read a defense. I think that's

1670
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 5: always the key when I watch these young quarterbacks is

1671
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 5: are they you know, pick and stick, you know, one

1672
01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:48,559
Speaker 5: read one side of the field guy, or can they

1673
01:23:48,760 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 5: sit in the pocket, scan, deliver and right now read

1674
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 5: is the last? Like, he hasn't proven that he can

1675
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 5: do the latter just yet, but he takes a lot

1676
01:23:57,960 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 5: of pride in that, and I think that's one of

1677
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 5: the reasons why he kind of burst onto the scene

1678
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:05,680
Speaker 5: last year was he was he offered kind of a

1679
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 5: change up to Connor Wegman, who played really well last

1680
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:11,880
Speaker 5: night for Houston, by the way. But now Wegman's gone, right,

1681
01:24:12,160 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 5: he's transferred out and it's Reid's team. This is the

1682
01:24:16,400 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 5: problem with Notre Dame is the defense that they play, actually,

1683
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 5: to me, lends to the more rpo style, like they're

1684
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:22,760
Speaker 5: gonna get up in your grill. They're gonna play a

1685
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:24,280
Speaker 5: lot of man to man. And when you play man

1686
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 5: to man defense and you stack the box like the quarterbacks,

1687
01:24:26,960 --> 01:24:28,640
Speaker 5: legs I think are a factor because it's hard to

1688
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:30,560
Speaker 5: account for that. So I think we're gonna see a

1689
01:24:30,600 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 5: lot of RPOs. I think we're gonna see an opportunity

1690
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:36,240
Speaker 5: for Marcell reads legs to be a factor in this game.

1691
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,799
Speaker 5: But the question is, can guys like Conception and Craver

1692
01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 5: like the receivers for A and M.

1693
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:41,920
Speaker 6: Can they get open?

1694
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,200
Speaker 5: Because Brian, if you want to talk about the strength

1695
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 5: of this Notre Dame team, I think to me, it's

1696
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 5: the defense.

1697
01:24:47,439 --> 01:24:50,240
Speaker 6: In the secondary. I mean, their corners are lockdown corners.

1698
01:24:50,280 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 5: So it'll be interesting to see if Marcel Reid is

1699
01:24:53,240 --> 01:24:57,320
Speaker 5: just the running quarterback today or if he can get

1700
01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 5: loose a little bit with his arm and get some

1701
01:24:59,040 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 5: of these receivers open.

1702
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:00,639
Speaker 6: On the other side.

1703
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:00,960
Speaker 2: For CJ.

1704
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:02,599
Speaker 5: Carr, the thing I noticed, again, we have one data

1705
01:25:02,600 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 5: point for Notre Dame. We know a whole lot to

1706
01:25:04,320 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 5: go off here. But the thing I noticed about the

1707
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:08,720
Speaker 5: Miami game, it was all free access throats. It was

1708
01:25:08,760 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 5: all hitches and slants and screens. He only attempted one

1709
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:15,479
Speaker 5: pass twenty or more yards downfield. Do they trust CJ.

1710
01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 5: Carr to take shots? Because we know A and M

1711
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:20,799
Speaker 5: is susceptible to the run right kind of like Tennessee

1712
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 5: where they're going to play fast furious in the box

1713
01:25:23,080 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 5: because they have to stop that Georgia run game. So

1714
01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:28,479
Speaker 5: if A and M creeps it up? Do they trust CJ.

1715
01:25:28,680 --> 01:25:30,680
Speaker 5: Carr enough to take some shots down the field? Like

1716
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,720
Speaker 5: these are kind of the games within the games that

1717
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 5: I'm be very interested to watch today. It's Marcel Reid.

1718
01:25:36,880 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 5: Is he just an RPO running quarterback? And do the

1719
01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:42,920
Speaker 5: Irish trust CJ. Carr to loosen up that A and

1720
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 5: M defense and go vertical?

1721
01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's the interesting part with Marcel Reid is fundamentally

1722
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:53,360
Speaker 4: I like when quarterbacks try to expand their game, right, Like,

1723
01:25:53,479 --> 01:25:56,559
Speaker 4: especially you see this in the NFL. Sometimes there'll be

1724
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 4: quarterbacks so I'm not just the running quarterback, you know,

1725
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:03,360
Speaker 4: and it's like, well, there's nothing wrong with expanding your game,

1726
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:06,599
Speaker 4: but there are times that you're trying to prove that

1727
01:26:06,640 --> 01:26:08,679
Speaker 4: you're more of a runner and you get away from

1728
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 4: what you do best. You know, Like if if justin Fields,

1729
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 4: the Jets quarterback is like, I'm not just a running

1730
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 4: quarterback and it's third and four and he can run

1731
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 4: for it, but he wants to show that he can

1732
01:26:19,200 --> 01:26:22,200
Speaker 4: throw for it. That's a problem, agreed, Like, it's nothing

1733
01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:24,679
Speaker 4: wrong with Marcel trying to, you know, expand his game,

1734
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 4: just don't get away from what he does best. And

1735
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:30,760
Speaker 4: he's a really good threat with his legs. So and

1736
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 4: one thing you mentioned it the outside corners, Jared. Their

1737
01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:37,519
Speaker 4: outside corners are really good with more and Gray. Yep,

1738
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:41,960
Speaker 4: but CJ Conceptsione man over the middle. He is eating

1739
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 4: teams alive. He's off to a great start and that's

1740
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:47,760
Speaker 4: where Miami had a lot of success against Notre Dame.

1741
01:26:48,320 --> 01:26:52,840
Speaker 4: So Conceptsion, I could see him like, you know, sneak beaking,

1742
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:55,720
Speaker 4: rapid fire. I actually like that over forty one and

1743
01:26:55,760 --> 01:26:58,719
Speaker 4: a half receiving yards for Conceptsione. He's been that good

1744
01:26:59,160 --> 01:27:03,040
Speaker 4: for the Aggies, and it just the game. It lends

1745
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:06,280
Speaker 4: itself to that happening. If you've got great outside corners,

1746
01:27:06,320 --> 01:27:09,200
Speaker 4: are you going to test the outside corners with Marcel Reid? No,

1747
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 4: probably not. You're probably gonna work the middle of the

1748
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:14,040
Speaker 4: field with Conceptsione, who's been a beast up. He was

1749
01:27:14,080 --> 01:27:15,720
Speaker 4: the guy from NC State who had a lot of

1750
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:18,360
Speaker 4: success there. So I think Notre Dame they've got a

1751
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 4: really they've got to do a really good job of

1752
01:27:20,479 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 4: tackling today because I think you're going to see some

1753
01:27:24,040 --> 01:27:26,519
Speaker 4: of these Aggies. It's a little bit like Texas. You know,

1754
01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 4: Texas likes to throw these short routes and let their

1755
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:33,599
Speaker 4: playmakers eat, and the Aggies like to do that also.

1756
01:27:33,840 --> 01:27:37,240
Speaker 4: So if Conceptsione he runs a little slant and he

1757
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 4: catches it, you don't make that a five yard gain.

1758
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 4: Just don't make it a twenty five yard game. You

1759
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 4: got to be able to tackle well. I think it's

1760
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 4: a big deal for Notre Dames defense.

1761
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:48,320
Speaker 7: Well, and then switching back over to Notre Dame's offense

1762
01:27:48,360 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 7: and talking about the things that they didn't do well

1763
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 7: that they should have done well, that they did well

1764
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 7: last year. And they're opener against Miami. They led with

1765
01:27:55,960 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 7: the pass heavy script and I didn't like it. I

1766
01:27:59,040 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 7: didn't like it, especially with Jeremiah Love in the backfield,

1767
01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 7: the guy who rushed for over eleven hundred yards last

1768
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:07,280
Speaker 7: year and seventeen touchdowns. Again, it's kind of going back

1769
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 7: to what we were talking about with USF and their

1770
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 7: big game today. If you're a running team and that's

1771
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:16,600
Speaker 7: your bread and butter, don't don't get too far from that.

1772
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:19,280
Speaker 7: Like you can lean into that. And I don't think

1773
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:21,680
Speaker 7: the Aggies, in fact, I know that haven't seen an

1774
01:28:21,680 --> 01:28:24,719
Speaker 7: offensive line like they're going to face today against Notre

1775
01:28:24,800 --> 01:28:28,880
Speaker 7: Dame and last year against A and M. Notre Dame

1776
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 7: ran for one ninety eight. I mean, wow, that's significant.

1777
01:28:34,360 --> 01:28:37,840
Speaker 7: And so if you're the fighting Irish and you have

1778
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 7: two weeks to prepare and you turn on the film

1779
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,640
Speaker 7: from Miami and you look at all the missed opportunities

1780
01:28:43,680 --> 01:28:46,960
Speaker 7: against light boxes to run the football, and then you

1781
01:28:47,040 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 7: turn on the film from last year against the Aggies

1782
01:28:50,120 --> 01:28:53,720
Speaker 7: and you rush for almost two hundred yards. What do

1783
01:28:53,760 --> 01:28:57,800
Speaker 7: you think Marcus Freeman is telling his offensive coordinator. He's

1784
01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:00,799
Speaker 7: telling him, Hey, buddy, let's not get a Q today.

1785
01:29:01,240 --> 01:29:04,559
Speaker 7: Let's go and play smash mouth football. We'll do our

1786
01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 7: job on our side of the ball. You play keep away.

1787
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 2: We are going to win this football game.

1788
01:29:10,200 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 7: And that is the rallying cry for two weeks heading

1789
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:15,759
Speaker 7: into this matchup against the Aggies.

1790
01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 6: You know, it's funny because you just kind of light

1791
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:21,000
Speaker 6: bulbed me Rich.

1792
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:23,880
Speaker 2: You're welcome.

1793
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:27,760
Speaker 6: I like it, Thank you, Thank you. A and M.

1794
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:29,760
Speaker 5: Last year gave up all those yards on the ground

1795
01:29:29,760 --> 01:29:32,000
Speaker 5: a Notre Dame at home, by the way, and this

1796
01:29:32,120 --> 01:29:35,760
Speaker 5: was an A and M defense. Lest you forget, three

1797
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:40,000
Speaker 5: guys in the top sixty I think in the NFL draft, Stewart,

1798
01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 5: Scourton and Turner, and that's why the A and M

1799
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 5: defense is struggling a little bit to stop the run

1800
01:29:46,280 --> 01:29:49,360
Speaker 5: this year. When you lose three guys in your front

1801
01:29:49,400 --> 01:29:52,439
Speaker 5: seven in the first two rounds of the draft, yeah,

1802
01:29:52,800 --> 01:29:55,320
Speaker 5: I could see why your defense gonna struggle, But that again,

1803
01:29:56,040 --> 01:29:58,519
Speaker 5: Notre Dame was able to run it last year on

1804
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:01,920
Speaker 5: the road with the those three guys in the lineup. Now,

1805
01:30:01,920 --> 01:30:04,560
Speaker 5: to be fair, I think Riley Leonard's legs offered a

1806
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 5: little bit more of a change up, which makes the

1807
01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 5: other running backs a little bit harder to defend. I

1808
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:14,960
Speaker 5: don't think CJ. Carr is as elusive as Riley Leonard

1809
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,080
Speaker 5: was last year. I'll give you a name on A

1810
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:19,400
Speaker 5: and M's defense to watch, and I think this guy

1811
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:21,960
Speaker 5: is going to be the key to shutting down this

1812
01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:24,880
Speaker 5: Notre Dame run game, and it's Torrian York, the middle

1813
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 5: linebacker for A and M. From what I can see,

1814
01:30:28,040 --> 01:30:31,080
Speaker 5: he looks like the most instinctual linebacker in the SEC.

1815
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:34,960
Speaker 5: Not as physically gifted five eleven two thirty five, but

1816
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:38,040
Speaker 5: he moves with intent, especially at the second level, and

1817
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 5: he's great at sniffing out those fakes and play action.

1818
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:42,120
Speaker 5: That's what I see when I watch him on tape,

1819
01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:44,720
Speaker 5: so I know A and M's defense has struggled to

1820
01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:47,760
Speaker 5: stop the run. But Tory and York, the middle linebacker,

1821
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:51,120
Speaker 5: he is the key to A and M playing a

1822
01:30:51,240 --> 01:30:54,400
Speaker 5: solid game on defense. Today, their defense has struggled to

1823
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:56,639
Speaker 5: stop the run again, allowing a buck forty per game.

1824
01:30:56,920 --> 01:30:59,560
Speaker 5: But Tory and York might be the guy who can.

1825
01:30:59,600 --> 01:31:01,799
Speaker 6: At least plug some of the holes.

1826
01:31:01,920 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 5: Because to Brian's point, like, if this Notre Dame run

1827
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:09,759
Speaker 5: game gets going, I mean they've got too. They definitely

1828
01:31:09,800 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 5: have the best running back in the country in Love

1829
01:31:12,479 --> 01:31:15,000
Speaker 5: and Price ain't far behind. So this is a very

1830
01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:18,040
Speaker 5: dangerous run game, and they have a whole week to prepare.

1831
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:20,760
Speaker 5: And I really want to take A and M. Here

1832
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:23,720
Speaker 5: I got seven, but now that it's six and a half,

1833
01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:24,599
Speaker 5: I can't give it to you.

1834
01:31:24,560 --> 01:31:27,240
Speaker 6: Guys in rapid fire. I think it's a little too

1835
01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:28,439
Speaker 6: thin for me.

1836
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:31,479
Speaker 4: That's the thing, too, is kind of blending. What you

1837
01:31:31,520 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 4: both are saying is I'm with you Rich, you gotta

1838
01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:36,880
Speaker 4: pound the rock if your Notre Dame. But at the

1839
01:31:36,920 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 4: same time, Notre Dame, in my opinion, was way too

1840
01:31:40,160 --> 01:31:43,920
Speaker 4: careful with CJ. Carr against Miami, especially in the first half,

1841
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,599
Speaker 4: it was just at the line of scrimmage, like, whoa, whoa,

1842
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:48,920
Speaker 4: this is the first college star. Let's not get radical

1843
01:31:49,160 --> 01:31:52,080
Speaker 4: and throw the ball like, you know, ten yards downfield. Whoa, whoa,

1844
01:31:52,160 --> 01:31:54,960
Speaker 4: that's a little too much. That was the first half.

1845
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:57,800
Speaker 4: And it's like, if Notre Dame is able to run

1846
01:31:57,840 --> 01:32:01,000
Speaker 4: the ball effectively, and you see ann like start to

1847
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:03,680
Speaker 4: play the run, they start putting that eighth guy in

1848
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:06,759
Speaker 4: the box, they're cheating up. It's like, don't be afraid

1849
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:10,600
Speaker 4: to throw it downfield. You're like CJ. Carr is capable

1850
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:13,160
Speaker 4: of doing that. And this A and M defense, they've

1851
01:32:13,160 --> 01:32:16,320
Speaker 4: given up some chunk plays. They've given up eight gains

1852
01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 4: of twenty plus yards already this season and they've played

1853
01:32:19,560 --> 01:32:23,880
Speaker 4: UTSA and Utah State those are their opponents, so twenty

1854
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 4: plus yards eight times. So I think you're gonna see

1855
01:32:27,160 --> 01:32:30,200
Speaker 4: some explosive plays from Notre Dame, especially the ground game.

1856
01:32:30,479 --> 01:32:32,120
Speaker 4: And if you're able to do that, I would start

1857
01:32:32,120 --> 01:32:34,559
Speaker 4: getting greedy. I wouldn't be like, oh, let's just lean

1858
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:36,920
Speaker 4: on this. It's like, if you get opportunities in the

1859
01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:40,920
Speaker 4: passing game to throw it downfield, do it. Don't settle

1860
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:42,800
Speaker 4: for this dink and dunk stuff. If you can hit

1861
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:45,200
Speaker 4: some explosives, try to do it. So I want to

1862
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 4: see if Notre Dame takes the handcuffs off of CJ.

1863
01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:50,960
Speaker 4: Carr because they're not gonna run it, you know, eighty

1864
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 4: times today and throw it too like they're gonna throw

1865
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:56,320
Speaker 4: it as well. I just want to see how what's

1866
01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:59,800
Speaker 4: the average depth of target the A dot, you know,

1867
01:33:00,040 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 4: because he threw it downfield twice and they were success

1868
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:07,000
Speaker 4: successful both times against Miami. One was a busted coverage.

1869
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 4: But I don't think that you could you should act

1870
01:33:09,920 --> 01:33:12,720
Speaker 4: like this guy is. They treated him like he was

1871
01:33:12,800 --> 01:33:14,920
Speaker 4: kind of broken, you know, and I know they're trying

1872
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:16,719
Speaker 4: to be safe, but they were safe to a fault

1873
01:33:16,720 --> 01:33:17,439
Speaker 4: against Miami.

1874
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:23,400
Speaker 7: I think, yeah, it's it's it's really interesting how certain

1875
01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 7: coordinators baby a quarterback into getting themselves completely out of

1876
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:33,919
Speaker 7: a winning script. If you want to baby a quarterback

1877
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 7: and get him used to playing big time college football,

1878
01:33:36,920 --> 01:33:39,120
Speaker 7: do what you do and do it well, you know,

1879
01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:43,280
Speaker 7: indoctrinate him to the program, show him or if he's

1880
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:45,519
Speaker 7: new to your program, show him how it's done at

1881
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:51,080
Speaker 7: your school. Amend your philosophy philosophies to match his strengths

1882
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:54,559
Speaker 7: and hide his weaknesses. And I think Notre Dame got

1883
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:59,080
Speaker 7: a little too in the mindset offensively, like, hey, we

1884
01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:02,280
Speaker 7: got to pick a script with our ten or fifteen

1885
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:06,160
Speaker 7: opening plays where when we get the ball, we're gonna

1886
01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:08,360
Speaker 7: patty cake a couple of throws close to the line

1887
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:11,000
Speaker 7: of scrimmage and it just got away from them.

1888
01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:11,559
Speaker 2: You know.

1889
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:14,479
Speaker 7: Meanwhile, if you run the football effectively, that's gonna bring

1890
01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:15,400
Speaker 7: the defense.

1891
01:34:15,080 --> 01:34:16,440
Speaker 2: Closer line of scrimmage.

1892
01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:19,520
Speaker 7: If you have even lazy run fakes in the backfield,

1893
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:22,360
Speaker 7: it is going to get the defenders taking a couple

1894
01:34:22,400 --> 01:34:27,080
Speaker 7: of steps downhill before chasing their route responsibilities. And that

1895
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 7: gives you a little bit more room, a little bit

1896
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:32,320
Speaker 7: more air in the passing game to throw to open

1897
01:34:32,360 --> 01:34:35,360
Speaker 7: receivers as opposed to closely covered receivers, whether.

1898
01:34:35,160 --> 01:34:36,360
Speaker 2: It be in zone or man.

1899
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:40,360
Speaker 7: I think Notre Dame is going to look at all

1900
01:34:40,439 --> 01:34:43,479
Speaker 7: of that that they see against Miami, turn on that

1901
01:34:43,560 --> 01:34:45,920
Speaker 7: film from last year, and they're gonna say, why did

1902
01:34:45,960 --> 01:34:49,000
Speaker 7: we try to get cute? We gotta be us. And

1903
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:52,840
Speaker 7: you see certain teams do this all the time. They're

1904
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:55,639
Speaker 7: just who they are, regardless of the opponent they're playing.

1905
01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:58,439
Speaker 7: And then you see other teams try to amend their

1906
01:34:58,520 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 7: style to match the moment or the team they're facing,

1907
01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 7: and it's hard to be that team. You really got

1908
01:35:04,120 --> 01:35:05,880
Speaker 7: to hone it in in just a week's time to

1909
01:35:05,960 --> 01:35:08,639
Speaker 7: be that team. And I don't think Notre Dame's that team.

1910
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:10,680
Speaker 7: So if they get back to their roots, you know,

1911
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 7: power run game, lean on their offensive line to extend drives,

1912
01:35:14,760 --> 01:35:17,800
Speaker 7: and then supplement the pass game with Carr, I think

1913
01:35:17,840 --> 01:35:20,240
Speaker 7: that is a better plan against an Aggie's team who's

1914
01:35:20,280 --> 01:35:23,719
Speaker 7: gonna be hungry, especially after get embarrassed in their home

1915
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,439
Speaker 7: against you last year. They're gonna try to embarrass you

1916
01:35:26,720 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 7: on your turf this year, knowing that you got punched

1917
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:30,960
Speaker 7: in the mouth out the gates two weeks ago.

1918
01:35:31,439 --> 01:35:32,360
Speaker 6: Great point.

1919
01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:36,839
Speaker 5: The road revenge angle is always a very interesting angle.

1920
01:35:37,360 --> 01:35:40,080
Speaker 5: And listen, I think I told you guys that I

1921
01:35:40,080 --> 01:35:42,759
Speaker 5: think when we talked about some sleeper teams before the season,

1922
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:44,400
Speaker 5: like i'm, I'm, I think A and M is a

1923
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:47,559
Speaker 5: sleeper team in the SEC. I really think if Reid

1924
01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:51,640
Speaker 5: hits that ceiling now, the defense hasn't really shown the

1925
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,080
Speaker 5: potential yet. I think Mike Elko is a really good coach,

1926
01:35:54,160 --> 01:35:57,559
Speaker 5: especially a good defensive coach. They have a bye next

1927
01:35:57,600 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 5: week and then they play Auburn, and then their.

1928
01:35:59,280 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 6: SEC schedule really gets going.

1929
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:03,280
Speaker 5: Actually, the beginning part of the rest of C schedule

1930
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:07,799
Speaker 5: is pretty easy. Auburn, Mississippi State, Florida, Arkansas. Then it's LSU, Missouri,

1931
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:11,840
Speaker 5: South Carolina, and then Texas. But I think this is

1932
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:14,160
Speaker 5: a very like this game matters definitely more to Notre

1933
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:15,760
Speaker 5: Dame than it does A and M. Like this is

1934
01:36:15,800 --> 01:36:18,920
Speaker 5: a show me game for Notre Dames defensive line. It

1935
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,760
Speaker 5: feels kind of like a rock fight. It feels kind

1936
01:36:21,800 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 5: of like both teams are gonna try to smash it

1937
01:36:24,479 --> 01:36:27,320
Speaker 5: down each other's throats and we'll see who blinks first.

1938
01:36:28,040 --> 01:36:29,760
Speaker 6: I like this Notre Dame defense a lot.

1939
01:36:30,040 --> 01:36:31,800
Speaker 5: I think that's the part of the Miami game that

1940
01:36:31,880 --> 01:36:32,960
Speaker 5: gets overlooked.

1941
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:33,960
Speaker 6: Miami's legit.

1942
01:36:34,040 --> 01:36:36,479
Speaker 5: People like, don't look at that Notre Dame Miami game

1943
01:36:36,520 --> 01:36:39,599
Speaker 5: and see how good Miami was offensively and downgrade Notre

1944
01:36:39,680 --> 01:36:42,599
Speaker 5: Dames defense because of it. I think you might see

1945
01:36:42,640 --> 01:36:45,960
Speaker 5: it too after they drop fifty today on USF. I

1946
01:36:46,000 --> 01:36:50,840
Speaker 5: think this Miami offense is legit, so Notre Dame's defense

1947
01:36:51,560 --> 01:36:54,400
Speaker 5: after a week off coming back against an A and

1948
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:58,920
Speaker 5: M offense that is relatively one dimensional. I think they're

1949
01:36:59,000 --> 01:37:01,720
Speaker 5: going to least set the tone of this game and

1950
01:37:01,760 --> 01:37:04,360
Speaker 5: we'll see if A and M can adjust. But then

1951
01:37:04,400 --> 01:37:06,439
Speaker 5: on Notre Dame's offensive side again, like I don't know

1952
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:07,439
Speaker 5: how much they trust EJ.

1953
01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:10,400
Speaker 6: Carr and if it's price and love just smashing it

1954
01:37:10,439 --> 01:37:11,160
Speaker 6: into the line.

1955
01:37:10,960 --> 01:37:14,280
Speaker 5: Of scrimmage like kind of under fifty, kind of might

1956
01:37:14,320 --> 01:37:15,519
Speaker 5: feel like the best bet here.

1957
01:37:15,720 --> 01:37:19,320
Speaker 4: Hey, I can buy it. I smell what you're cooking

1958
01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:22,720
Speaker 4: over there for sure. And Mike Elko, by the way,

1959
01:37:22,880 --> 01:37:25,240
Speaker 4: former Notre Dame defensive coordinator.

1960
01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:26,439
Speaker 6: That is a fun nugget.

1961
01:37:26,600 --> 01:37:28,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, is that why they scheduled this home and home

1962
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:29,880
Speaker 5: because you don't see A and M in Notre Dame

1963
01:37:29,920 --> 01:37:31,040
Speaker 5: playing home and Holmes too often.

1964
01:37:31,520 --> 01:37:31,920
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1965
01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I really don't know why they scheduled it, but yeah,

1966
01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:36,080
Speaker 4: maybe it has something to do with it.

1967
01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:36,679
Speaker 2: I'm not sure.

1968
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:40,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, a little odd right there, but yeah, twenty seventeen,

1969
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:43,639
Speaker 4: one year at A at Notre Dame for Mike Elko,

1970
01:37:43,760 --> 01:37:46,519
Speaker 4: but then he went to A and M as the DC.

1971
01:37:46,840 --> 01:37:48,880
Speaker 4: Then Duke is the head coach. Now A and M

1972
01:37:48,960 --> 01:37:49,559
Speaker 4: is the head coach.

1973
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:51,439
Speaker 6: Duke is really where he cut his tea. I mean

1974
01:37:51,439 --> 01:37:52,599
Speaker 6: he was really good at Duke.

1975
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:57,200
Speaker 7: He really Also because like you think about from the

1976
01:37:57,200 --> 01:38:01,639
Speaker 7: standpoint of if you're an athletic director, what conferences our

1977
01:38:01,720 --> 01:38:05,200
Speaker 7: new coordinator coming from or coach coming from. You know,

1978
01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:09,080
Speaker 7: you start you start scouting, you know, teams that they

1979
01:38:09,160 --> 01:38:12,760
Speaker 7: might be more comfortable facing off again, so especially if

1980
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:15,439
Speaker 7: it's a former team. But then you know throw into

1981
01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 7: the mix, like just teams that you're you're you have

1982
01:38:18,479 --> 01:38:22,920
Speaker 7: an easier time strategizing for those are typically teams like

1983
01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:26,920
Speaker 7: for example, like all games for San Diego State, you

1984
01:38:26,960 --> 01:38:29,479
Speaker 7: have a coach who comes from the MAC as a

1985
01:38:29,520 --> 01:38:32,000
Speaker 7: head coach in Kent State before he went to Colorado

1986
01:38:32,040 --> 01:38:34,880
Speaker 7: as a coordinator. A lot of the games for San

1987
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:37,400
Speaker 7: Diego State out of conference have been scheduled with the

1988
01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:40,080
Speaker 7: MAC recently, you know, and so there's a little more

1989
01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 7: familiarity there, and uh and I think it it kind

1990
01:38:44,439 --> 01:38:47,600
Speaker 7: of it kind of helps booie your program's chances for

1991
01:38:47,760 --> 01:38:51,439
Speaker 7: success if you give opponents who are used to seeing

1992
01:38:51,520 --> 01:38:52,000

2012
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 4: get off the air. All right, we've got Florida at

2013
01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:59,560
Speaker 4: number three. LSU really nice win for LSU at the

2014
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:02,479
Speaker 4: beginning of season. Great win or was it just good?

2015
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:06,120
Speaker 4: You know, like, look at the opponent Clemson. Man, what's

2016
01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:09,200
Speaker 4: up with Clemson this year? They've had some injuries, their

2017
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:13,640
Speaker 4: offense has been shoddy, shoddy offense from that Clemson Tigers

2018
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:18,479
Speaker 4: bunch over there. So LSU their offense really really iffy

2019
01:40:18,560 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 4: against a much lesser opponent last week, and so it's

2020
01:40:22,280 --> 01:40:24,680
Speaker 4: a sneaky spot. I feel like Florida coming off an

2021
01:40:24,680 --> 01:40:29,080
Speaker 4: embarrassing home loss against South Florida. We're down on Florida

2022
01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:34,200
Speaker 4: Florida here, but normally this matchup is pretty tight. Florida

2023
01:40:34,240 --> 01:40:36,000
Speaker 4: gets a couple of dudes back, they get a big

2024
01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:40,280
Speaker 4: defensive lineman coming back, you know, rush End, and I

2025
01:40:40,280 --> 01:40:43,720
Speaker 4: could see Florida keeping this respectable. I think Florida's you know,

2026
01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:46,719
Speaker 4: game depending on Lagway. If he could hit his stride,

2027
01:40:46,760 --> 01:40:49,839
Speaker 4: you know, Lagway's just it's like he's not completely healthy

2028
01:40:50,160 --> 01:40:53,160
Speaker 4: based on last year's injury. If you could get Lagway

2029
01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:57,559
Speaker 4: playing up to his potential, and if they respond after

2030
01:40:57,600 --> 01:40:59,760
Speaker 4: an embarrassing loss, I think LSU could be in for

2031
01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:00,839
Speaker 4: a fight tonight.

2032
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2033
01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:06,840
Speaker 7: Look, I know talk is cheap, but Lagway has come

2034
01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:09,800
Speaker 7: out publicly now and talked about how he wants to

2035
01:41:09,840 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 7: fix all of the early season problems and USF gives

2036
01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:18,519
Speaker 7: a lot of substantial football programs, big time belly eggs.

2037
01:41:18,960 --> 01:41:21,320
Speaker 7: They've been doing it for years now, so this is

2038
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:27,160
Speaker 7: commonplace in college football. And even though that's a loss,

2039
01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 7: and Florida has faced a lot of criticism in their loss,

2040
01:41:31,520 --> 01:41:35,160
Speaker 7: they have a quality football team. Like I think, we

2041
01:41:35,240 --> 01:41:38,280
Speaker 7: get a little too caught up in records sometimes early

2042
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:41,960
Speaker 7: in the season instead of substance. And this is a

2043
01:41:42,000 --> 01:41:46,360
Speaker 7: good defense and there are definite weapons along that offense.

2044
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 7: So I wouldn't look at Florida in the vacuum of

2045
01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:57,080
Speaker 7: early season issues and say, hey, they are fulfilling their destiny,

2046
01:41:57,160 --> 01:42:00,280
Speaker 7: because I would say so far to date, Florida has

2047
01:42:01,080 --> 01:42:04,720
Speaker 7: woefully underplayed their roster. I think they're due to have

2048
01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:07,800
Speaker 7: a much better season than what they've showed so far.

2049
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:10,320
Speaker 7: So I agree with you. I think LSU is gonna

2050
01:42:10,360 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 7: have all they can handle today.

2051
01:42:12,320 --> 01:42:17,559
Speaker 5: Weird line doesn't make any sense. Like you're right, Brian,

2052
01:42:17,640 --> 01:42:19,920
Speaker 5: I think you have to look at that LSU win

2053
01:42:20,040 --> 01:42:24,719
Speaker 5: over Clemson through the lens of how Clemson has played since,

2054
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:28,000
Speaker 5: which was a very sloppy game against Troy last week,

2055
01:42:29,439 --> 01:42:33,120
Speaker 5: and the number this week against Georgia Tech is now

2056
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:35,920
Speaker 5: steaming down considerably. I mean, you can I saw a

2057
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:39,759
Speaker 5: minus two and a half on Clemson against Georgia Tech,

2058
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:44,759
Speaker 5: right like, so there's a little bit of oh my god,

2059
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:48,439
Speaker 5: were we wrong about Clemson? And if we were wrong

2060
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 5: about Clemson, then that win for LSU over Clemson all

2061
01:42:53,000 --> 01:42:54,880
Speaker 5: of a sudden doesn't look as strong. It kind of

2062
01:42:54,880 --> 01:43:00,120
Speaker 5: actually reminds me of the Tennessee win over Syracuse after

2063
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:03,200
Speaker 5: what Syracuse did last week with Yukon playing with their

2064
01:43:03,200 --> 01:43:05,960
Speaker 5: food and you know, fran Brown's got him running wind

2065
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 5: sprints after the game, Like, all of a sudden, you're like, oh,

2066
01:43:09,920 --> 01:43:12,840
Speaker 5: they gave up four touchdowns to Syracuse. How good is

2067
01:43:12,840 --> 01:43:16,320
Speaker 5: this Tennessee defense? So you do kind of play this

2068
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:19,680
Speaker 5: transitive property of football. What I'll say about Florida is

2069
01:43:20,400 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 5: they do have a.

2070
01:43:21,479 --> 01:43:22,639
Speaker 6: Strength of this team.

2071
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:27,440
Speaker 5: It's the run, game, ball and Jackson, two really good backs. Lagway,

2072
01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:29,840
Speaker 5: he looks like a player who You're right, I do

2073
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:33,360
Speaker 5: think injuries are a problem. But the bigger problem the

2074
01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:37,240
Speaker 5: injuries have forced him to miss practice. And Rich I

2075
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:40,200
Speaker 5: know you can allude to this. A young quarterback with

2076
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:43,040
Speaker 5: all the talent in the world injured all the time,

2077
01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:46,800
Speaker 5: doesn't practice all of a sudden, starts relying on that

2078
01:43:46,960 --> 01:43:49,599
Speaker 5: talent a little bit too much and doesn't play within

2079
01:43:49,640 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 5: the structure of the offense because he hasn't practiced within

2080
01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:55,479
Speaker 5: the structure of the offense because he's injured. So that's

2081
01:43:55,520 --> 01:43:59,559
Speaker 5: the issue I see with Florida. It's elite talent, not

2082
01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:05,519
Speaker 5: a lot of continuity. But if the stars align and

2083
01:44:05,640 --> 01:44:08,960
Speaker 5: all of a sudden it clicks, Florida could go in

2084
01:44:09,439 --> 01:44:10,960
Speaker 5: the death ballot as we could win this game.

2085
01:44:11,080 --> 01:44:12,639
Speaker 6: I mean, they beat.

2086
01:44:12,479 --> 01:44:15,280
Speaker 5: LSU last year, and I thought last year's LSU team

2087
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:18,400
Speaker 5: was pretty darn good and Florida's team last year. Lagway

2088
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:19,680
Speaker 5: was much more inexperienced.

2089
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:22,120
Speaker 6: He played really well in this game last year against

2090
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:23,200
Speaker 6: that LSU defense.

2091
01:44:23,439 --> 01:44:27,719
Speaker 5: So the X factor here is definitely Lagway's ceiling being

2092
01:44:28,200 --> 01:44:31,439
Speaker 5: very high and the floor being very low. I think

2093
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:34,360
Speaker 5: LSU on the surface, their offense looks good, but one

2094
01:44:34,400 --> 01:44:37,240
Speaker 5: hundredth and points per game minus two turnover margin? Can

2095
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:40,120
Speaker 5: they take care of the football? Very tough to predict turnovers,

2096
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:43,520
Speaker 5: and that is also what makes this game very difficult

2097
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:45,160
Speaker 5: to try to prognosticate.

2098
01:44:45,560 --> 01:44:48,880
Speaker 4: Man, I'll tell you what Florida's schedule, it just got

2099
01:44:48,920 --> 01:44:52,880
Speaker 4: real getting into conference play and they also listen to this.

2100
01:44:52,960 --> 01:44:56,400
Speaker 4: It starts tonight at LSU that's the number three ranked team.

2101
01:44:56,439 --> 01:45:00,000
Speaker 4: Then they're at number five Miami obviously a non conference game.

2102
01:45:00,280 --> 01:45:02,720
Speaker 4: Then they host number seven Texas, and then they're at

2103
01:45:02,840 --> 01:45:05,760
Speaker 4: number sixteen Texas A and M those are the next

2104
01:45:05,760 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 4: flourid games. Then they can breathe for a second against

2105
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:12,360
Speaker 4: Mississippi State, and then they're hosting number six Georgia. That's

2106
01:45:12,600 --> 01:45:15,800
Speaker 4: freaking bruce for their next five games. That's a gauntlet

2107
01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:19,320
Speaker 4: right there for Florida, so really bad. If I could

2108
01:45:19,360 --> 01:45:22,800
Speaker 4: turn back time, right like, they really need that win

2109
01:45:22,840 --> 01:45:26,120
Speaker 4: against South Florida right like, looking at that schedule is

2110
01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:30,240
Speaker 4: rough and we've already gotten Oh brace yourself. We know

2111
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:32,840
Speaker 4: Billy Napier is on the hot seat right there. It's

2112
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:36,320
Speaker 4: the Florida head coach. There are new hot off the

2113
01:45:36,400 --> 01:45:41,920
Speaker 4: presses John Gruden rumors. Ah yes, uh John Gruden maybe

2114
01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:45,040
Speaker 4: the next head coach of Florida or Alabama. Love the

2115
01:45:45,640 --> 01:45:49,320
Speaker 4: Gruden rumors there. But a big spot for Florida man

2116
01:45:49,400 --> 01:45:52,000
Speaker 4: Caleb Banks is the d lineman they get back. That's

2117
01:45:52,040 --> 01:45:55,519
Speaker 4: a big deal. And also LSU's center, who's a stud

2118
01:45:55,640 --> 01:45:57,840
Speaker 4: is banged up. It took a knee. It took an

2119
01:45:57,880 --> 01:46:00,479
Speaker 4: ankle injury last week, got rolled up on.

2120
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:01,920
Speaker 6: It's the worst he's gonna play.

2121
01:46:01,920 --> 01:46:03,800
Speaker 5: It was probable in the latest injury report, but yes,

2122
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:05,040
Speaker 5: probably less than a hundred percent.

2123
01:46:05,200 --> 01:46:07,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, like, there's no way that guys one hundred percent.

2124
01:46:07,720 --> 01:46:09,800
Speaker 4: But I feel like a little piece of your heart

2125
01:46:10,040 --> 01:46:12,600
Speaker 4: just dies. Rich It's a former O ligneman seeing an

2126
01:46:12,680 --> 01:46:15,080
Speaker 4: O Lignement get rolled up like that. It's the worst.

2127
01:46:15,120 --> 01:46:15,679
Speaker 4: It's terrible.

2128
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:18,639
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's the worst, and especially early in the season,

2129
01:46:18,680 --> 01:46:22,840
Speaker 7: because these guys are tough minded, you know, and basically

2130
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:26,240
Speaker 7: professional athletes now, you know, so not only are you

2131
01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 7: out there trying to fight for your team, you're trying

2132
01:46:28,479 --> 01:46:31,160
Speaker 7: to earn a paycheck, especially if you're an offensive lineman.

2133
01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:34,240
Speaker 7: You know, some of these contracts in the NIL world

2134
01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:37,759
Speaker 7: are structured per game, so you know, I mean, guys

2135
01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:40,200
Speaker 7: are already thinking about their future and whether it be

2136
01:46:40,240 --> 01:46:43,840
Speaker 7: an NFL future or transitioning out of college football and

2137
01:46:43,920 --> 01:46:46,000
Speaker 7: just trying to earn as much money as you possibly

2138
01:46:46,040 --> 01:46:49,040
Speaker 7: can while you are a paid athlete. He's going to

2139
01:46:49,120 --> 01:46:50,840
Speaker 7: try to be out there and get this thing out,

2140
01:46:50,920 --> 01:46:53,559
Speaker 7: and good on him. Branley Moore is a tough guy

2141
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 7: and he anchors that offensive line, but there's gonna be

2142
01:46:56,560 --> 01:46:57,439
Speaker 7: weakness there.

2143
01:46:57,439 --> 01:46:57,640
Speaker 2: You know.

2144
01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:00,880
Speaker 7: And if I see on the scouting report, and I'm

2145
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:05,080
Speaker 7: a defensive coordinator that a center has a wobbly wheel,

2146
01:47:05,520 --> 01:47:08,400
Speaker 7: I'm gonna try to get him soloed on our best

2147
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:11,160
Speaker 7: interior pass rusher, I'm going to try to get a

2148
01:47:11,160 --> 01:47:13,360
Speaker 7: lot of push on the pocket, and I'm gonna try

2149
01:47:13,560 --> 01:47:17,000
Speaker 7: to make it hard on Garrett Nussmyer, who also it

2150
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:19,759
Speaker 7: looks like lost his one of his favorite targets green

2151
01:47:19,840 --> 01:47:24,360
Speaker 7: at tian Yeah, so that all of a sudden, you know,

2152
01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:27,360
Speaker 7: you talk about Florida, who the teeth of their schedules

2153
01:47:27,400 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 7: coming up, and they need a win, and that defense

2154
01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:34,160
Speaker 7: is pretty good, and you know they're quarterbacks talking some

2155
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 7: serious hype now about his team and about how he

2156
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 7: wants to turn it around. If there's a place to

2157
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:42,759
Speaker 7: draw a line in the sand and say our season

2158
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:45,960
Speaker 7: starts now, it's in Death Valley. And so you're going

2159
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:50,880
Speaker 7: to face a lot if you're the Tigers tonight and expecting,

2160
01:47:51,520 --> 01:47:53,719
Speaker 7: you know, a team to come in after a couple

2161
01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:55,680
Speaker 7: of tough weeks and roll over for you.

2162
01:47:55,960 --> 01:47:59,000
Speaker 2: It isn't happening. And then you look at LSU.

2163
01:47:59,360 --> 01:48:04,840
Speaker 7: They scheduled cupcake FCS team here next week and then

2164
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 7: they go into Old Miss. So I'm not saying they're

2165
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:10,880
Speaker 7: looking ahead in any way, shape or form, but like

2166
01:48:11,560 --> 01:48:12,559
Speaker 7: you know, there's there.

2167
01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:14,639
Speaker 2: This could be a gotcha spot for.

2168
01:48:14,760 --> 01:48:18,680
Speaker 7: LSU and they really shouldn't let down because I'm telling you,

2169
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:21,439
Speaker 7: and I'm not telling you guys anything. I think we're

2170
01:48:21,479 --> 01:48:23,600
Speaker 7: all saying the same thing. Florida is better than a

2171
01:48:23,640 --> 01:48:24,240
Speaker 7: lot of people.

2172
01:48:24,360 --> 01:48:24,439
Speaker 3: Know.

2173
01:48:25,439 --> 01:48:28,400
Speaker 5: The market's telling you that. Again, when I get into

2174
01:48:28,439 --> 01:48:32,040
Speaker 5: these situations where I'm uncertain on a game and I

2175
01:48:32,080 --> 01:48:35,200
Speaker 5: don't really have a good feel, I let the market

2176
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:38,479
Speaker 5: kind of tell me where I should be looking. And again,

2177
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:43,680
Speaker 5: LSU Night Game Death Valley, I'm willing to bet. Of

2178
01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:47,320
Speaker 5: all the home field advantages in college football, that's probably

2179
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:49,280
Speaker 5: the strongest in terms of how much the point spread

2180
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:51,280
Speaker 5: will adjust, Like it's a solid three.

2181
01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:52,680
Speaker 6: If not, it's more than that.

2182
01:48:53,720 --> 01:48:56,360
Speaker 5: And you're telling me that LSU is not even laying

2183
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:59,479
Speaker 5: a full touchdown in this game with that home field

2184
01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:04,519
Speaker 5: advantage against Florida, who just lost to USF. Like, what

2185
01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:07,000
Speaker 5: is the market trying to tell you here?

2186
01:49:07,080 --> 01:49:08,719
Speaker 6: People? It's trying to.

2187
01:49:08,640 --> 01:49:13,080
Speaker 5: Tell you that we love Brian Kelly, but this feels

2188
01:49:13,160 --> 01:49:17,080
Speaker 5: like one of those old gotcha games where he finally

2189
01:49:17,120 --> 01:49:20,320
Speaker 5: got the monkey off his back winning an opener, and

2190
01:49:20,360 --> 01:49:24,960
Speaker 5: then he sleepwalks through Louisiana Tech. Nice cover for latech

2191
01:49:25,040 --> 01:49:28,559
Speaker 5: last week in a very sandwichy game, and now you

2192
01:49:28,640 --> 01:49:33,920
Speaker 5: get Florida licking their wounds. It should be a layup.

2193
01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:38,599
Speaker 5: Billy Napier has got one foot out the door. Every

2194
01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:41,840
Speaker 5: single person, including my mom, was a big Florida Gators fan.

2195
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:43,839
Speaker 5: She's not really involved in it, but all my friends

2196
01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:46,639
Speaker 5: you know down there in Florida are all you know.

2197
01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:49,040
Speaker 4: Waiting itching to fire Billy Napier.

2198
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:52,280
Speaker 5: Wouldn't it be something if he goes into Death Valley

2199
01:49:52,320 --> 01:49:55,320
Speaker 5: on a Saturday night and knocks off the Tigers, like

2200
01:49:56,000 --> 01:49:59,280
Speaker 5: based on what we know about the unpredictability of college football,

2201
01:49:59,439 --> 01:50:03,400
Speaker 5: wouldn't that be just a little check mark in the Yeah,

2202
01:50:03,400 --> 01:50:06,960
Speaker 5: we should have saw that one coming department, because it

2203
01:50:07,080 --> 01:50:10,240
Speaker 5: just it feels like this number is screaming us to

2204
01:50:10,320 --> 01:50:11,000
Speaker 5: bet LSU.

2205
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:13,160
Speaker 6: But I'm not biting. I am not taking the bait.

2206
01:50:13,439 --> 01:50:15,800
Speaker 4: Well, let's shift it to another one real fast.

2207
01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:15,960
Speaker 6: Here.

2208
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:18,599
Speaker 4: We got Clemson at Georgia Tech and some of what

2209
01:50:18,640 --> 01:50:22,200
Speaker 4: you're explaining with the last game applies to Clemson where

2210
01:50:22,240 --> 01:50:25,840
Speaker 4: it's like, based on what we thought of this team

2211
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:28,000
Speaker 4: heading into the season where we thought they would beat

2212
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:31,599
Speaker 4: they're not there. Like Clemson loses the home opener. They

2213
01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:35,280
Speaker 4: have not been impressive at all, Caid Klubnick. That offense

2214
01:50:35,360 --> 01:50:38,880
Speaker 4: is not firing whatsoever. He's not using his legs. His

2215
01:50:39,000 --> 01:50:42,120
Speaker 4: rushing prop is twenty four and a half today, like

2216
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:46,200
Speaker 4: kid Klubnick was, you know, consistently going over that or

2217
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:49,439
Speaker 4: at least the rushing prop bet was higher than that.

2218
01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 4: It's just't done much and they've got some injuries on

2219
01:50:53,200 --> 01:50:55,719
Speaker 4: top of it. Like this is a banged up Clemson

2220
01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 4: team and they're only three point favorites on the road

2221
01:51:00,000 --> 01:51:03,080
Speaker 4: against Georgia Tech. And that's I'll tell you what, man,

2222
01:51:03,240 --> 01:51:06,519
Speaker 4: Tech is a tough team to get right on right,

2223
01:51:06,680 --> 01:51:10,599
Speaker 4: like Clemson trying to get right and against Georgia Tech,

2224
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:11,240
Speaker 4: that is tough.

2225
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:11,439
Speaker 2: Man.

2226
01:51:11,439 --> 01:51:14,719
Speaker 4: It is an all day affair and you gotta tackle, well,

2227
01:51:14,760 --> 01:51:17,000
Speaker 4: you got to try to limit Haines King, who's back.

2228
01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:19,280
Speaker 4: He's not one hundred percent, but he's good enough to

2229
01:51:19,320 --> 01:51:23,479
Speaker 4: go as the Georgia Tech quarterback. But man, it's one

2230
01:51:23,479 --> 01:51:26,360
Speaker 4: of those sneaky spots where we're down on Clemson, and

2231
01:51:26,439 --> 01:51:29,519
Speaker 4: maybe this is where it turns, or maybe it's more

2232
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:32,439
Speaker 4: of what we've seen and they are just not what

2233
01:51:32,479 --> 01:51:35,920
Speaker 4: they thought there. They are who we They're not who

2234
01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:40,240
Speaker 4: we thought they were. Right, the opposite of the famous

2235
01:51:40,280 --> 01:51:42,479
Speaker 4: quote right there, What do you think about Clemson Georgia

2236
01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:43,160
Speaker 4: Tech Rich.

2237
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:46,760
Speaker 7: Well, I don't love their offense without Jay Haynes, and

2238
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:49,840
Speaker 7: so we'll see how ready is for contact coming back

2239
01:51:49,880 --> 01:51:55,600
Speaker 7: from this injury. Obviously, the loss against LSU and just

2240
01:51:55,680 --> 01:51:59,080
Speaker 7: the fact that they looked so inept running the football.

2241
01:51:59,400 --> 01:52:01,599
Speaker 2: There was no oh answer to that problem.

2242
01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:04,639
Speaker 7: They got stuffed eighteen times in that game just at

2243
01:52:04,640 --> 01:52:08,160
Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage or lost yards on rushes. Between

2244
01:52:08,479 --> 01:52:12,599
Speaker 7: that game and Troy, there wasn't like this revolutionary leap

2245
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:15,400
Speaker 7: in how effective the run game. We're talking about maybe

2246
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:18,880
Speaker 7: adding a yard and a half per carrying production. That's

2247
01:52:19,000 --> 01:52:22,760
Speaker 7: up from sub three yards per carry against LSU and

2248
01:52:22,760 --> 01:52:26,040
Speaker 7: their opener. So not a good start offensively for this

2249
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:29,439
Speaker 7: rushing attack. And so we'll see how it looks with Haines.

2250
01:52:29,600 --> 01:52:33,760
Speaker 7: But yeah, like rewind the clock to a month ago,

2251
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:37,880
Speaker 7: what everybody thought and felt of Clemson versus now.

2252
01:52:38,520 --> 01:52:40,640
Speaker 2: It's amazing how much can change in two and a

2253
01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:41,320
Speaker 2: half weeks.

2254
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:45,960
Speaker 7: It feels like, you know, for the first time, everybody's

2255
01:52:46,040 --> 01:52:49,000
Speaker 7: looking from the sidewalk and saying, oh, the Emperor on parade,

2256
01:52:49,080 --> 01:52:52,040
Speaker 7: he has no clothes, like that was all. That was

2257
01:52:52,080 --> 01:52:55,240
Speaker 7: all just what we were being told. And you know,

2258
01:52:55,560 --> 01:52:58,120
Speaker 7: I guess we can still pretend because they wear the

2259
01:52:58,160 --> 01:53:01,280
Speaker 7: orange helmets with the white paw prints on. But I

2260
01:53:01,320 --> 01:53:04,280
Speaker 7: don't really want to pretend anymore. I'm going to I'm

2261
01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:08,080
Speaker 7: going into this game against Georgia Tech with a heaping

2262
01:53:08,320 --> 01:53:13,080
Speaker 7: helping of skepticism that this is going to be some

2263
01:53:13,600 --> 01:53:16,919
Speaker 7: rollover matchup for Clemson. I think they're in for a dogfight.

2264
01:53:17,040 --> 01:53:19,759
Speaker 7: I think this is a four quarter game for Clemson.

2265
01:53:20,240 --> 01:53:20,479
Speaker 6: Yeah.

2266
01:53:20,600 --> 01:53:22,200
Speaker 5: I took Tech plus three and a half earlier in

2267
01:53:22,240 --> 01:53:25,479
Speaker 5: the week. It was bet down considerably. The first question

2268
01:53:25,560 --> 01:53:27,519
Speaker 5: mark I had on this game was what is club nick?

2269
01:53:27,560 --> 01:53:29,400
Speaker 5: And the offense look like the old line's been bad.

2270
01:53:29,520 --> 01:53:32,400
Speaker 5: But man, I'll be honest, Let's say Haines King is

2271
01:53:32,400 --> 01:53:34,479
Speaker 5: a little bit banged up and he can only go

2272
01:53:34,520 --> 01:53:37,920
Speaker 5: a quarter or a half. The backup quarterback Aaron fil

2273
01:53:38,120 --> 01:53:40,240
Speaker 5: last week through for three seventy eight. I know it

2274
01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:44,639
Speaker 5: was against Gardner Webb, but they were torching Gardner Webb.

2275
01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 5: And I love Buster Faulkner. We've talked about Falkner on

2276
01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:50,719
Speaker 5: this show. The offensive coordinator for Georgia Tech got a big,

2277
01:53:50,880 --> 01:53:53,599
Speaker 5: fat extension in the offseason, which to me means he's

2278
01:53:54,320 --> 01:53:56,000
Speaker 5: probably got a lot of head coaching looks and he's

2279
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:58,000
Speaker 5: probably going to be one of the next big head

2280
01:53:58,040 --> 01:54:01,679
Speaker 5: coaching hires. Maybe not next year, but maybe in two years.

2281
01:54:02,240 --> 01:54:05,640
Speaker 5: But his passing concepts, if it is Filo, like if

2282
01:54:05,680 --> 01:54:07,280
Speaker 5: we get King and he's a little banged up and

2283
01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:08,800
Speaker 5: they go to fight, like if he's ineffective and they

2284
01:54:08,840 --> 01:54:10,800
Speaker 5: go to Filo, like maybe this is a live betting

2285
01:54:10,840 --> 01:54:13,439
Speaker 5: game where Clemson starts fast and then maybe they bring

2286
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:15,759
Speaker 5: in Filo later and they can throw it around. Because

2287
01:54:15,760 --> 01:54:18,160
Speaker 5: I love Buster Fuckner. He's a He is an absolute

2288
01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:21,360
Speaker 5: rock star as a as a play caller. The key

2289
01:54:21,439 --> 01:54:23,599
Speaker 5: here is Brent Key, the head coach.

2290
01:54:23,920 --> 01:54:24,720
Speaker 2: Really good in this.

2291
01:54:24,760 --> 01:54:27,680
Speaker 6: Spot as a feisty dog. Eleven and four against the.

2292
01:54:27,640 --> 01:54:31,200
Speaker 5: Spread as a dog verse top fifteen teams, pretty darn good,

2293
01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:35,320
Speaker 5: seven outright wins. Now here's the problem. The average line

2294
01:54:35,320 --> 01:54:37,520
Speaker 5: in those games. The average spread was thirteen and a

2295
01:54:37,600 --> 01:54:40,720
Speaker 5: half now it's three. In fact, it's trending towards two

2296
01:54:40,760 --> 01:54:43,920
Speaker 5: and a half, so you're not getting that cushion of

2297
01:54:44,040 --> 01:54:46,560
Speaker 5: points when you're betting on Brent Key as a dog,

2298
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:49,320
Speaker 5: as you typically do. But I agree with Rich. I

2299
01:54:49,320 --> 01:54:51,400
Speaker 5: think this is a dogfight game. The totals kind of

2300
01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:54,640
Speaker 5: hovering in the low fifties. It feels like a defensive

2301
01:54:54,680 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 5: slug fest. And I think if Haynes King's healthy, run

2302
01:54:58,160 --> 01:55:00,480
Speaker 5: the ball short in the game, keep that d fence

2303
01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:03,200
Speaker 5: fresh for the fourth quarter because Clemson's gonna come out.

2304
01:55:03,040 --> 01:55:03,880
Speaker 6: With their hair on fire.

2305
01:55:04,440 --> 01:55:07,200
Speaker 4: All right, We've got Rich Hornberger, Penn State All American,

2306
01:55:07,280 --> 01:55:11,320
Speaker 4: Jeered Smith FSR betting analyst. I'm Brian No coming up next.

2307
01:55:11,520 --> 01:55:15,080
Speaker 4: Rapid Fire, which I think we should rename the four

2308
01:55:15,120 --> 01:55:18,320
Speaker 4: minute offense. It's not as much rapid fire as it is.

2309
01:55:20,040 --> 01:55:21,880
Speaker 2: We're just trying to milk the rest of the clock.

2310
01:55:22,000 --> 01:55:26,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a little bit more of a slower attack

2311
01:55:26,160 --> 01:55:28,800
Speaker 4: if you a little more methodical, But we have a

2312
01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:32,320
Speaker 4: bushel of picks. Nonetheless, we'll get to right around the corner.

2338
01:57:04,960 --> 01:57:07,160
Speaker 4: the way tire buying should be. All right, we got

2339
01:57:07,200 --> 01:57:08,520
Speaker 4: some picks to make. Let's do it.

2340
01:57:11,480 --> 01:57:12,360
Speaker 2: Rapid fire.

2341
01:57:13,160 --> 01:57:15,280
Speaker 4: All right, Jared, we start with you. What do you like?

2342
01:57:15,720 --> 01:57:18,880
Speaker 5: Bama minus nineteen and a half against Wisconsin. This number

2343
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:21,160
Speaker 5: keeps teaming down in other spots, but it's nineteen and

2344
01:57:21,200 --> 01:57:22,080
Speaker 5: a half at bet MGM.

2345
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:25,040
Speaker 6: So last week was the bounce back game. Today's the statement.

2346
01:57:25,040 --> 01:57:28,800
Speaker 5: I think Wisconsin's offense is compromised with Danny O'Neal at quarterback.

2347
01:57:28,920 --> 01:57:30,800
Speaker 5: I think Bama gets a big win if they can

2348
01:57:30,880 --> 01:57:32,440
Speaker 5: run it up. They need style points.

2349
01:57:32,800 --> 01:57:35,680
Speaker 6: I think they will win with margin.

2350
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:38,520
Speaker 5: I'll take Miami minus seventeen and a half against USF.

2351
01:57:38,560 --> 01:57:41,120
Speaker 5: The Bulls are the Cinderella story in college football right now.

2352
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:43,600
Speaker 5: They're kind of this year's Indiana. But the Canes offensive

2353
01:57:43,600 --> 01:57:46,720
Speaker 5: line bigger, faster, stronger than Florida, and the Gators ran

2354
01:57:46,760 --> 01:57:48,560
Speaker 5: it all over the Bulls last week. It was Napier

2355
01:57:48,600 --> 01:57:50,880
Speaker 5: and Lagway and really let Florida down in the big spot.

2356
01:57:50,920 --> 01:57:53,360
Speaker 5: I think Carson Beck Shannon Dawson pushed the right buttons.

2357
01:57:53,360 --> 01:57:55,240
Speaker 5: I think Miami gets a big win, and Georgia minus

2358
01:57:55,280 --> 01:57:57,640
Speaker 5: three and a half against Tennessee, you're getting a discount

2359
01:57:57,680 --> 01:58:00,880
Speaker 5: on the dogs. Kirby Smart owns Josh four and h

2360
01:58:00,960 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 5: against the spread. I think Georgia goes into Knoxville gets

2361
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:04,640
Speaker 5: a big win.

2362
01:58:05,600 --> 01:58:09,000
Speaker 7: All right, Live from State College where my nitny Lions

2363
01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:12,240
Speaker 7: will take on Villanova and the two thousand and five

2364
01:58:12,320 --> 01:58:15,080
Speaker 7: Big Ten champs will be honored at halftime. I give

2365
01:58:15,080 --> 01:58:18,840
Speaker 7: you my picks, and I ride with Jarard Majestic with

2366
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:23,000
Speaker 7: Alabama seventeen excuse me, nineteen and a half point favorites.

2367
01:58:23,040 --> 01:58:24,960
Speaker 7: I think the board needs a huge win. I think

2368
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:28,720
Speaker 7: they get it today. Olmos better be careful because Arkansas

2369
01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:31,520
Speaker 7: is going to be right there with them this whole game.

2370
01:58:31,600 --> 01:58:33,480
Speaker 7: Plus six and a half for the Razorbacks.

2371
01:58:34,640 --> 01:58:36,840
Speaker 2: I like it. I know it feels a little thin.

2372
01:58:37,360 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 2: This is going to be a close one.

2373
01:58:38,480 --> 01:58:41,440
Speaker 7: And then Florida they're getting seven points on the road

2374
01:58:41,840 --> 01:58:46,400
Speaker 7: facing LSU, another dogfight, another four quarter game. In my opinion,

2375
01:58:46,840 --> 01:58:50,240
Speaker 7: give me the Gators getting seven point handed to him

2376
01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:51,839
Speaker 7: going to death Valley.

2377
01:58:52,360 --> 01:58:54,120
Speaker 4: Look at you, guys, quick on the draw.

2378
01:58:54,360 --> 01:58:56,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, let's go coachable. We're coachable.

2379
01:58:56,920 --> 01:58:58,840
Speaker 4: I like that, all right, I'll give you a couple

2380
01:58:58,840 --> 01:59:01,160
Speaker 4: of picks. I actually hate right, man.

2381
01:59:02,240 --> 01:59:05,840
Speaker 6: It's sometimes a good side together what we're supposed to do.

2382
01:59:05,880 --> 01:59:09,160
Speaker 4: Bro, I'm with you, Rich. I'm on Florida plus seven

2383
01:59:09,440 --> 01:59:13,480
Speaker 4: at LSU. LSU's offense not firing on all cylinders. Embarrassing

2384
01:59:13,560 --> 01:59:17,200
Speaker 4: loss for the Gators. It's normally a close matchup here

2385
01:59:17,240 --> 01:59:19,800
Speaker 4: in this rivalry, so I'll I'll take the points. This

2386
01:59:19,880 --> 01:59:23,040
Speaker 4: is the stinkiest line of the week. It's Vanderbilt plus

2387
01:59:23,080 --> 01:59:26,720
Speaker 4: three at South Carolina. South Carolina's ranked, They've got the

2388
01:59:26,760 --> 01:59:29,760
Speaker 4: Heisman contending quarterback. They're favored by three.

2389
01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:30,240
Speaker 2: That's it.

2390
01:59:30,600 --> 01:59:33,520
Speaker 4: I'll take Vandy plus three. It's the stinkiest line of

2391
01:59:33,560 --> 01:59:37,920
Speaker 4: the week. And I'll go CJ. Concepcion, the Texas A

2392
01:59:38,040 --> 01:59:40,720
Speaker 4: and M wide receiver. I'll take over forty four and

2393
01:59:40,760 --> 01:59:44,080
Speaker 4: a half receiving yards. That's where Notre Dame's defense is

2394
01:59:44,160 --> 01:59:47,240
Speaker 4: vulnerable over the middle, and so I think he eats.

2395
01:59:47,280 --> 01:59:49,320
Speaker 4: But go Irish hope they went
