1
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal holl.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: That for me. I'm a man, I'm forty.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:10,119
Speaker 1: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

4
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: be happy.

5
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 2: You want to be happy for a day? Edo State?

6
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: Is that? Whoo whoo? And then and tie Dan Rubinstein

7
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,440
Speaker 2: Week one now a little bit more in the books. Yeah,

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: since we last convened on Saturday night, we've got an

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: lsu USC result to discuss. Here a time of recording.

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: We're doing this on Labor Day Monday, early afternoonish. There

11
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: is a game tonight that we will discuss if we

12
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: need to a little bit later on in the week

13
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,480
Speaker 2: between Boston College and Florida State. But alas a couple

14
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 2: hours removed from the first full Saturday of college football,

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 2: we've got some additional thoughts that we need to get

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: off our chests. Sir, how are you? I'm great.

17
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: And now that you say that today is Labor Day,

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: which it is, that I'm going to a cookout in

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: a little while, it reminds me that that was Marcus

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: Freeman's final opportunity to wear those snug white pants. He's

21
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 1: gonna have to go darker for the season. That was

22
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 1: his moment to shine. That the snug white chinos whatever.

23
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: Those were good for him for getting them in just

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: in the nick of time, just under the gun time.

25
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: Very snug. They're extraordinarily snug, to say the least.

26
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm surprised you didn't select Marcus Freeman's snug pants as

27
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: a fantasy thing and opted instead for his unplugged in headset.

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: But alas which he talked into, maybe that was the

29
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,200
Speaker 2: secret weapon there was they showed him. I feel like

30
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: I was going crazy a little bit because when they

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: showed pretty much every sideline view of Marcus Freeman during

32
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 2: that game, now every time, of course after I drafted

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 2: to my fantasy roster, every single time they showed him

34
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: on the sidelines, he's talking into that headset. So hey,

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: if all it took was me and a dumb bit

36
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: to get him to communicate better with his staff, I'm

37
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: willing to fall in that story. Man.

38
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: I just at some point I would love to see

39
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: a sideline on one side that has Marcus Freeman and

40
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: for like the other poll for the opposite sideline, get

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: a biffpo Gee on the other one right with like

42
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: the ripped up, baggy, cut up shirt, and then Marcus

43
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: Freeman with his like impeccably crispq zip and painted on Gino's.

44
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: I think it would be great. It's great for America.

45
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: Well, hey, welcome back to the soliverbo one and all.

62
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: had a game between great USC and LSU that I

63
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 2: want to discuss. We also need to continue the trend

64
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 2: we started last Tuesday in going back and getting some

65
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: lingering thoughts off of our chest. And then I did

66
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: want to talk at the end of this episode a

67
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 2: little bit about the week ahead, what week two is

68
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: going to look like for people who are trying to

69
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: do some advance planning, and just call out some of

70
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 2: the good games, some of the sneaky good games that

71
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: I think are worth monitoring. Certainly we're going to be

72
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: doing our Pickham game at for Ballers dot Com some

73
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: of these will be part of that. So just want

74
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: to kind of get out ahead of what this coming

75
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 2: week two looks like, because it looks to be a

76
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: baller of a week, as we discussed on the last episode,

77
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: got a full show here today to say the least.

78
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 2: So why don't we start with the USC game USC

79
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: twenty seven to twenty What was your watch situation for

80
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: this game? What were your emotions? What were your feels

81
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: as you watched New Big Ten Team USC, which I

82
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 2: will never get used to ever.

83
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: I know, did you catch the Chris Fowler I missed

84
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: the PAC twelve like he threw that right in the

85
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: middle of a call where it was it was something

86
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: like there was a Utah transfer for one of the teams,

87
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: and it was like Utah transfer, so and so I

88
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: missed the PAC twelve and I was.

89
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 2: Like, oh, okay.

90
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: Interesting to that point.

91
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: I was early this morning scrolling my phone looking through

92
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: the score app trying to get stats for the USC game,

93
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,599
Speaker 2: and I couldn't find the PAC twelve or I couldn't

94
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: find them in the PAC twelve.

95
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: In the PAC twelve all right.

96
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 2: So it's hitting different for me too.

97
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: I did. When I was looking through scorees Saturday night,

98
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,359
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, let's go on the ACC.

99
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: Let's go on. What's going on the Mountain West? And

100
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: I got to the P and I was like, ah,

101
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 1: just these two.

102
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, twenty seven to twenty USC emerges the victor. You

103
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: were high on USC coming into this game.

104
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: I was, and in the fall like I was pretty

105
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: low on them earlier on. But then when I sort

106
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: of considered the totality of the transfers on defense and

107
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: the new coaches on defense, I was like, look, this

108
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: is everything right. If this doesn't work for Lincoln Riley,

109
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: it's not working for Lincoln Riley at USC. So there

110
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: was that emotional element of like this is a kitchen

111
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: singk situation for the Trojans, So coming into this game,

112
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: I felt decent about them. This is what do we

113
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: say about Nick Saban that, like, you don't want to

114
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: be the guy after the guy. Yeah, it turns out

115
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: in this game being the guy after the guy, whether

116
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: it was after Jaden Daniels or after Caleb Williams pretty

117
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: decent place to be given these situations.

118
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: I think that's fair. So what were your impressions in

119
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: watching this game and how did it compare to your

120
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: impressions going into this game?

121
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: Okay, I mean immediately I was impressed with USC's defense,

122
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: immediately the job Danton Lynn did and seeing how pressure works,

123
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: seeing how pressure didn't work, seeing USC sort of shadow

124
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 1: and pick up on what LSU was trying to do

125
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: on offense, and not only successfully, but like they had

126
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: a concept they had a guy there, right, and that

127
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: guy there, whether it was was Mcaranus Arnold the linebacker

128
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: or Ramsey the safety who came in from UCLA, like

129
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: they just had they had cardinal and gold jerseys where

130
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: they were supposed to be on defense, and they were

131
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: like hitting hard. Like that was the immediate thing that

132
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 1: I wanted to see from this game. I also wanted

133
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: to see it on the other side from LSU, but

134
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,920
Speaker 1: I thought the starting point from a talent standpoint, from

135
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: LSU's defense, especially upfront, was in a better place, right

136
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: when Harold Perkins is there, when all these guys are

137
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: there that we know can be disruptive. I was more

138
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: curious about USC's defense, and then just the impression of

139
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: both of these quarterbacks, just especially in that first half,

140
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: like really strong command, right that they weren't trying to

141
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: play outside of themselves, but they weren't dinking and dunking, right,

142
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: they were taking chances downfield. There was a comfort and

143
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 1: there was a I think a boldness to both of

144
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: these quarterbacks, Like they came out both crazy impressive, which

145
00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: with what LSU lost at receiver cool to see, and

146
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: with what USC should be doing giving the receiver talent

147
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: that they have, impressive to see. So just all around

148
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: like quality would be the word I would use to

149
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,119
Speaker 1: describe what I saw.

150
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: If I'm a USC fan right now, I'm thrilled. Yeah,

151
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: of course, I'm thrilled, not just for the win, but

152
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: because this was essentially a two question test on Sunday

153
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 2: night against LSU and they passed it with flying colors.

154
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: The first question was the defense. Can they be better?

155
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: Can they look better? The answer to that was absolutely yes.

156
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: Now they gave up over four hundred yards. Okay, sure,

157
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: my favorite reference. They're not the eighty five bears. They bent,

158
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: but they limit the breakage. But the energy, the effort,

159
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: the things that you can't necessarily quantify, definitely look better.

160
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: The tackling. The tackling was a lot better compared to

161
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: a year ago. It was like night and day. So

162
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 2: they were good in that respect. And I always say

163
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: another measure of effort is red zone.

164
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: Oh man, that fourth down stop early.

165
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: This team was terrible a year ago in the red zone.

166
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 2: This season, starting off against LSU, good offense, look better,

167
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 2: look better. If that is a measure of effort, If

168
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: that is part of what ailed USC from a defensive

169
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 2: standpoint a year ago, many years before that, that all

170
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: seemed better to me. Again, I reemphasize just marginally better

171
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 2: this year. Yeah, just marginally better. We say this every

172
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 2: year about a Lincoln Riley team. If they're just marginally better,

173
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 2: and if the offense, by the way, I'll build on

174
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,440
Speaker 2: this in a second. If the offense remains somewhat close

175
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 2: to the same as they were a year ago. USC

176
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: is gonna blow past every projection that people had for

177
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: them this season.

178
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: I think that's right.

179
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: This is a proper overreaction.

180
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

181
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: And then the second question I said, it's a two

182
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: question tests was offense, specifically quarterback, which you mentioned Miller Moss.

183
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: I feel like I underplayed his abilities because we hadn't

184
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 2: seen a whole lot of them. We saw him mop

185
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 2: up duty spring games. Yeah, and when we talked about

186
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,719
Speaker 2: him on this show, and I'm kind of pointing the

187
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: finger at myself here, I was treating him as the

188
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 2: guy that they were going to go to by default,

189
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: he lose Caleb Williams is going to be something of

190
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: a step back, is it, Miller Moss? Is that Jade

191
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: my Ava? We've got options there, but oh, they're just

192
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,200
Speaker 2: going to go with the guy who they've had, and

193
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 2: it's it's just like a backup who's being promoted. They

194
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: don't have somebody better, so this is their full stop. Man.

195
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: He was good. He was good, He was calm back there.

196
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: He knew where to go with the football. It was

197
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 2: clearly knew the plays when he had to throw and

198
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: put the put the ball on a spot. He was

199
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 2: throwing dimes. To your point, they weren't afraid to stretch

200
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: the field. I just thought this was really solid. I

201
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: thought he showed arm talent. I thought this was an

202
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 2: incredibly clean game. And if you're a USC fan again,

203
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 2: this is all very positive because taking the step back

204
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 2: from Caleb to now Miller Moss it who knew not

205
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: the best defense in the world, Brian Kelly. We can

206
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 2: talk about Brian Kelly in a second. Yep, I think

207
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly knows as much. But yeah, for a first

208
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: glimpse of a new quarterback and a new defense, I

209
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: don't know what more you could possibly want to fear

210
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: a USC fan. This was a really really strong showing

211
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 2: in Week one.

212
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: No in an uncomfortable place. Not because it was they're

213
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: you know, they're not playing at Death Valley that I'm

214
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: playing at LSU, but like it's uncomfortable because it's not

215
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: a normal type set up playing in an NFL stadium

216
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: in Vegas. It's just, you know, visually different, the vibes

217
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: are different playing in a stadium like that. And it's

218
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 1: true for both teams, of course, but LSU has played

219
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: in more of these games recently, in these types of stadiums,

220
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: these players are a little bit it seems more familiar.

221
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: Brian Kelly has played in these games more recently, it

222
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: seems who knows. But yeah, the other thing with USC

223
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: is offensive line wasn't great. The LSU defensive front really

224
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: manhandled them a bunch and Miller Moss was able to

225
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: get the ball out quickly right he took some shot.

226
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 1: He had a couple of those in the second half.

227
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 1: Those balls batted into the air that looked, you know,

228
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: floated dangerously down or I think one of them got

229
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: technically picked off but stripped right away. USC was able

230
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: to benefit from a couple of extremely close calls with

231
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: the inside of their offensive line struggling against LSU. And

232
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 1: so I don't know how many times USC actually wins

233
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: this game if it's simulated one hundred times, but the

234
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: one that was played Sunday night worked out pretty well

235
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 1: for the Trojans. And one of the big reasons why

236
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: at that receiving core we talked about it a little bit.

237
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 1: To me, when you look at what's Lake McCree at

238
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: tight end, Deuce Robinson is a receiver, but sort of

239
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: a hybrid size Wise six six and a bigger receiver.

240
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: Jacoby Lane is a big body, Zacharia Branch smaller, Kyroen

241
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: Hudson smaller, but like those three or four big receivers,

242
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,880
Speaker 1: I get a little bit of the like early twenty

243
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: teens Stanford vibes right where you're just like, they have

244
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: four dudes that are six four and above on the

245
00:11:56,840 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: field at the same time you're oarthego White sides right,

246
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: you're Kobe Fleeener's. There was something about that where you're

247
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: just like, they're gonna body up some teams. They're gonna

248
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: post teams up, like Lincoln Riley is smart enough to

249
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: know this, whether it's the red zone, whether it's a

250
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: third and seven whatever. And you saw LSU struggle. You

251
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: saw those receivers make those big plays, going up right,

252
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: one handed whatever in traffic. They're gonna be a problem

253
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams. And the change of pace

254
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 1: was Zachariah Branch still worried about this offensive line again,

255
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: just pushed around for a lot of this game. I

256
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: think that's still a big question. And they won't play

257
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 1: defensive fronts that looks like LSU's all season long. You

258
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: know it won't be an every week thing, but came

259
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 1: away super impressed with Miller, Moss composure leading that last second,

260
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, game winning drive. Woody Marx, by the way,

261
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: tough runner for the USC, gives them a nice option,

262
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 1: had the game winning run in, but got some tough yards,

263
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: some big, big plays and big moments. So again, maybe

264
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: they only win this game, you know, sixty eight times

265
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: out of one hundred.

266
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 2: But they look like they were better prepared.

267
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: They're certainly more disciplined with those the penalties and the

268
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: targeting at the end that LSU had, you know, a

269
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: penalty after a touchdown LSU had, Like it just seemed

270
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: like the USC players you know, were better prepared to

271
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 1: have cool heads and not let something else dictate this game,

272
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: as I'm sure Brian Kelly was alluding to in his

273
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: press or after you, I think you actually have the

274
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,320
Speaker 1: audio as a transition if you want.

275
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have the sweet setup ice man. I'll get

276
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: to that in a second. The only other point on USC,

277
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 2: maybe I am dooming my fighting irish by saying this

278
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 2: the long time until that game, right, long time till

279
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 2: this game. This game is at the end of the

280
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: year as of now, after Week one. I am thrilled

281
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: as a Notre Dame fan because, and you know I

282
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 2: talked about this, this is going to be the argument

283
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 2: that people make against Notre Dame because the schedule is

284
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 2: very beneficial. At least it looked that way on paper.

285
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 2: It looked like you get past A and M and

286
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: then it is pretty much smooth sailing. There's a Florida

287
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,120
Speaker 2: State game in there, but that one's at home. As

288
00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 2: we get into November, Florida State's already zero and one.

289
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 2: See what they do tonight again, we're recording this on

290
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: Labor Day. The USC game is on the road. It's

291
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 2: the last game of the year. The kind of I

292
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 2: guess set up for that game that we discussed in

293
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: the preseason was, well, they're over under seven and a half.

294
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: They're all these questions, the defense might not be any better, etcetera, etcetera. Suddenly,

295
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 2: now USC throws its hat in the ring, not just

296
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 2: as like a contender in the Big Ten, but also

297
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: somebody that's more relevant on the national level and definitely

298
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: served to benefit Notre Dame strength of schedule.

299
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: By the way, I understand why you did it, Ty,

300
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: It's a totally defensible thing. You just did. But shout

301
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: out to you for taking this result and saying, how

302
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: can I make it about my team?

303
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 2: That's what we do, It's how can I make it

304
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 2: about what everybody does?

305
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: It is absolutely the most real college football reaction.

306
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: But what does this do for me? This is a

307
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: tribal sport. You love who you love.

308
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: No, totally acceptable, but I always enjoy it, and I

309
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: probably would have done the same if Oregon we're playing

310
00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: USC this year, which I don't believe they are other side,

311
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: LSU other side.

312
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 2: So if this is a show about honesty, this was

313
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: the most honest postgame presser I have ever seen from

314
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly ever, and I have watched so many of

315
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 2: these hollow, kind of manufactured quotes from him over the years,

316
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: dating back to his time at Notre Dame. This was pure.

317
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 2: This was unadulterated frustration.

318
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: How could the players do this to Brian Kelly was

319
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 1: the sort of theme of it.

320
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 2: This was pure, unadulterated frustration, more so than I can

321
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 2: ever remember seeing from him in the past. There is

322
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 2: a snippet making the rounds on social media. I do

323
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 2: have the audio here, I'm going to play it. It's

324
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: like twenty seconds long or so, and let's talk about

325
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 2: this and more. Kind of on the flip side.

326
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: We had some guys played their butts off tonight and

327
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 3: we're sitting here again. We're sitting here again talking about

328
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 3: the same things about not finishing when you have an

329
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 3: opponent in a.

330
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 2: Position to put them away.

331
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: But what we're doing on the sideline is feeling like

332
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 3: the game's over.

333
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: So that thud you heard about five seconds in was

334
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 2: him slamming a table. Yeah, it's clear he's not faking this.

335
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: He was frustrated. B K felt like this one was

336
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 2: there for LSU, and I think it's a fair assumption.

337
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: He felt like they gave it away, and he was

338
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: angry about three things in particular. The first was penalties.

339
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: He talked about the targeting. Yeah, but there were two

340
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: personal foul penalties in this game that set up points

341
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 2: for USC. That stuff does not help. They were sloppy

342
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 2: on that front. The second was red zone offense. We

343
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: talked about the red zone defense for USC. Obviously, BKA

344
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: sees it from his perspective as leaving points out there,

345
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 2: settling for field goals in close games, putting a strain

346
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: on a defense that in his words, not mine. Was

347
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: not ready to carry that type of burden for offense

348
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 2: that wasn't executing. And then the third the reason why

349
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: slammed the desk was in effect killer instinct, not putting

350
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: USC away when he felt like they had some momentum.

351
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 2: So if I'm an LSU fan, now I understand feeling frustrated,

352
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 2: and I think the emotions that Kelly spoke to are

353
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: probably very real right now among the message boarders and

354
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 2: cross LSU Twitter and whatnot. What I would say though,

355
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 2: is I don't think you should feel surprised by what

356
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 2: you saw, because this was an offense that lost the

357
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: Heisman Trophy winning quarterback that lost Molik Neighbors was seventy

358
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 2: ninth in returning production on that side of the ball,

359
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 2: even with a veteran quarterback Dan Garrett Nusmeyer, who for

360
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 2: his own right, was not terrible. Right, was fine.

361
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: I thought it was really good, to be honest.

362
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: But even with that, it should not come as a

363
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 2: great shock that you're going to get an incomplete performance

364
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 2: in week one with so much turnover. And again on

365
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 2: the defensive side, right this is this defense was full

366
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: on bat A year ago. They went out, they paid

367
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 2: Blake Baker a ton of money to come in and

368
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 2: try and try and solve that problem. Kelly's right, They're

369
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: probably not at the point yet where they can lean

370
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 2: on that defense. But I did think there was some

371
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: improvement there. I thought, generally speaking, and he spoke to

372
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 2: this as well in the presser, it seemed like they

373
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,679
Speaker 2: were better at tackling. They competed on the edges more.

374
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,199
Speaker 1: Know that the arms and arms and passing lanes right that,

375
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 1: like Savion Jones and wit Weeks were making plays all

376
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: over the field. It was great Harold Perkins was making plays.

377
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: There were definite signs there that the effort level that

378
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 2: the production is going to improve this season. But again,

379
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 2: I don't think this should come as a great shock.

380
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 2: I would say, bigger picture, try to avoid the freak

381
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: out because recruiting is still really good. They're evolving the

382
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: way that they use the portal. It's going to be

383
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: fine in the long run, and they've got six weeks

384
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 2: to work out the kinks before the schedule really heats

385
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: up in weeks with Old miscoming to town and then

386
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 2: it starts rolling downhill. So my general thought here is

387
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: it was there for LSU. They definitely committed some big

388
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 2: time mistakes. I do think it will get better. I

389
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 2: came away generally impressed with both teams, feeling like both

390
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: are headed in a good direction, especially USC in twenty

391
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 2: twenty four.

392
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't surprise me at all if we're in

393
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: mid October and talking about LSU as like, like, good

394
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: thing USC didn't get LSU in week seven.

395
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,959
Speaker 2: Exactly exactly my thoughts exactly.

396
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: And you know what, maybe it's a good thing LSU

397
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: didn't get USC in week seven, Right, Maybe the offensive

398
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: line comes together a little bit more. Miller Moss is

399
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: going to be nothing but more comfortable in this offense,

400
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: as like the guy by then as well. But LSU's

401
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: to me, just because of how disrupted that defensive line

402
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: can be and will be this year. I could see

403
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: this LSU defense sort of morphing into something consistently scary

404
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: this year, and so and the offense as well. Right,

405
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: the best of Kyra and Lacy, the best of John

406
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,239
Speaker 1: Emory last night with explosion plays like there's there are

407
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: new faces who are going to be counted on, like

408
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: the new starters, the new presumed stars or whatever. These

409
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: guys are guys who've contributed for a while, but no,

410
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a tale of

411
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: two teams who are really going to continue to grow a.

412
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,880
Speaker 2: Lot of playmakers on both side. We saw that playmaking ability.

413
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:17,159
Speaker 2: It was a good game. It was a good game

414
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 2: to watch. I enjoyed it. Yeah, all right, you got

415
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 2: anything you want to get off your chest from Saturday,

416
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 2: because I've got I've got a lot five or six

417
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 2: pack here of things that I've been stewing over over

418
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 2: the last couple hours.

419
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: Okay, so mainly that North Dakota drive that took twelve

420
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,640
Speaker 1: minutes against Iowa State. I don't know if you saw that. Well,

421
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: hold on, hold on, hold on, sorry, sorry, sorry. We

422
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: have to properly set.

423
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: Up these segments before we launch into them. You have

424
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: to hit the button. What do you expect? I was

425
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: trying to get you to agree with me before I

426
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 2: hit the button, but alas, yes, ty, thank you give

427
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 2: me your leftover fields from week one.

428
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 1: I went back and watched the Notre Dame A and

429
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 1: M game in closer detail and really came way impressed

430
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: with Notre Dame's ability to wear down A and M

431
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: over the course of that game and look better prepared

432
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: and bigger moments. I got to see Riley Leonard throw

433
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: the ball downfield a little bit more. I know. That's

434
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 1: the thing. Like if that was our question coming in,

435
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:16,719
Speaker 1: like who are the playmakers outside? Like both Hollins made plays,

436
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, okay, are we going to have

437
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: an offense that is like dangerous in multiple different ways

438
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: or is it going to be Riley Leonard left Riley

439
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: Leonard right on third and five.

440
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 2: I think there were positive signs later in the game

441
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 2: because I saw Pete Sampson, our friend from the athletic

442
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: references as well. It did seem as if the offensive

443
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 2: line not only came together, but was better conditioned, and

444
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 2: that definitely had an effect. The deeper you got into

445
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 2: the game and it was clear they kind of did

446
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 2: on offense what I joke they should do. Of course,

447
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 2: leaning back on my college football twenty five experience for

448
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: whatever that's worth, but my point was, look, it's a

449
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 2: new line. Six projected starts returning spread out among only

450
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: two guys on that line. If there are any questions

451
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 2: about their ability to protect Riley Leonard to give him

452
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 2: time to throw, look for a lot of swing passes.

453
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 2: Look for a lot of quick stuff, look for them

454
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: to move the pocket, use Riley Leonard in the running game.

455
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: They did all of that stuff. The line did seem

456
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,120
Speaker 2: as if it got better from a skill standpoint later

457
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,959
Speaker 2: in the game due to conditioning, due to scheme tweaks.

458
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: I don't know, but they got better across the board

459
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 2: later in that game. If they can continue to improve

460
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 2: as they did from the start of that game to

461
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 2: the end across the entire season, I would think that

462
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 2: would bode pretty well for their ability to maybe stretch

463
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 2: the field to maybe show some of what they can

464
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 2: do in the vertical passing game, because we know Mike

465
00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 2: Denbrock wants to do that. We just didn't see it

466
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 2: in Week one against a good defense like A and.

467
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: M I hope Hammer and Hank Bockmeyer continues his ways

468
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: at wake Forest. Oh yeah, successful ways. Getting a little

469
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: bit if I'm going to overreact a little bit worried

470
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: about the Duke offense not really doing much against Elon

471
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: and we're seeing them this week, right, you and I

472
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: in person against Northwestern.

473
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 2: We will be at the Northwestern game in that portable

474
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 2: state for the Friday night game against Duke. Northwestern currently

475
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 2: a three point favorite, I'm.

476
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: Excited elsewhere in the ACC. I don't know if you

477
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: saw Fran Brown's quote about Ryan Day and sending him

478
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 1: Champagne for letting Kyle McCord go. But I love I

479
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: love speaking with your chest. I hope this works out.

480
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: But this is a man after my own heart, sort

481
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: of talking loud after week one, I love it.

482
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, Kyle McCord had a good game.

483
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 1: He did have a good game, and I love Fran

484
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: Brown for having his guy like that, being so happy

485
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: with Kyle McCord. I love that Cal might be in

486
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: trouble in the ACCA, Jada and Nott was not able

487
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: to run against. Listen, I've spent time on the UC

488
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Davis campus. Davis is a lovely place. Davis should not

489
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: be shutting down Jayden ot right. Okay, Cal might be

490
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: in four it, but it's game one. It's game one

491
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 1: all the same. Your SMU Mustang's won nicely. I don't

492
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 1: know if there was any takeaway from SMU against was

493
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: against Abilene Christian, hopefully everybody. Okay, I saw not Abilene Christian.

494
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 1: Excuse me, a Houston Baptist. Houston Baptist, right was my reference? Everybody, Okay,

495
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: Ablin Christian. There was a car accident plus with Texas

496
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: after the Texas Tech game. I think it was a

497
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,959
Speaker 1: drunk driver. Oh man, awful to hear. Hopefully everybody is

498
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: okay and there aren't serious injuries there. Anthony Calandria, nice

499
00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: to see that again. It's Richmond, but you know he's

500
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: the guy at Virginia. So he went off. That was

501
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 1: really nice.

502
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 2: He's fun as hell too. He's really fun. He's so

503
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 2: much fun to watch.

504
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: Stray thought thought Nate Arnel would be the guy at Pitt.

505
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 1: Eli Holstein went.

506
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: Off, Can I talk about Pitt for a second. Take

507
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 2: a second. I want to talk about Pitt for a second,

508
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 2: because I thought this new offense looked incredible. It was

509
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 2: against Kent State. Kent State is not good. Yeah that's

510
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 2: your disclaimer. But they did start Eli Holstein, he's the

511
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 2: Alabama transfer. He looked really good. Dan and I just

512
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: kept thinking, if you are one of our pit listeners

513
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 2: out there, and I know there are plenty of them

514
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 2: because they've written to us over the years. I just

515
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 2: kept thinking, if you've been watching this offense struggle through

516
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 2: the Keatons, Slovices and Christian venues and Nick Patty's anybody

517
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: who came after Kenny Pickett and remember those slower plotting

518
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: offenses that just were not any good. I just kept

519
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 2: thinking how much of a breath of fresh air this

520
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,439
Speaker 2: had to have been. Because they played quick, they scored

521
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 2: fifty five points. Defense a little bit of a different story.

522
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,719
Speaker 2: They for the most part held down Kent's offense. There

523
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:31,880
Speaker 2: were a couple moments where they gave up big plays.

524
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: They've got a game this week against Cincinnati that should

525
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 2: give us more of a tell. I was thrilled, though,

526
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: and I'd imagine I would want to hear from Pitt

527
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 2: fans if they feel similarly. I was thrilled to see

528
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 2: Eli Holstein look as good as he did, and just

529
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 2: see that offense really transform into something completely different than

530
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: what it's been over the years.

531
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 1: Shout out to Kennesaw down five in their very first

532
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Speaker 1: FBS game to utssay Owen, McCown and UTSA. But this

533
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: was a game deep to the fourth quarter. The UTSA

534
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: pulled out the Owl's right there, ty, I always enjoy

535
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 1: that right stepping up and ready to roll.

536
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah. I was a bit unimpressed with the

537
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: version of Avery Johnson we saw for kse state.

538
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, kind of shaky early. I'm not selling my stock

539
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 1: tie just like Dabbo tells you not to do. With Clemson,

540
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: I'm holding time.

541
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: I wouldn't sell the stock. But I don't know if

542
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: we fully know what the offense is going to be.

543
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: I do think it's going to be built around the

544
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:25,880
Speaker 2: running game.

545
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: It should be.

546
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: That was pretty clear in week one because in theory anyway,

547
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 2: the three headed monster of DJ Giddons and Dylan Edwards

548
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 2: and Avery Johnson was a really good runner, should be

549
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:45,479
Speaker 2: pretty dynamic. If Saturday was any indication though, the pass

550
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 2: will be a function of that rushing attack, and so

551
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 2: most of the bigger plays that we saw in this

552
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 2: game anyway, plays off of misdirection. It was guys leaking

553
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: out of the backfield, that type of thing, and Avery

554
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 2: Johnson was good on those plays, don't get me wrong.

555
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 2: But there were other moments where he had a ton

556
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: of time to throw it, he was inaccurate, chose to

557
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: throw it into traffic, almost nothing was down the field.

558
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 2: So he's raw as a passer, and I feel like

559
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,680
Speaker 2: we knew that last year. It's it's again the case.

560
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: This year has wonderful hair. Of course, of course, but

561
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: the passing side of his game is something we need

562
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: to watch more closely. And I got to say, Tulane

563
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: hosts Case State this week, and if Tulane is going

564
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: to play the style of football that we saw them

565
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: play in Week one, that's interesting going into this week

566
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 2: two matchup because they can limit possessions. They've got a

567
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: good coach and knows how to play defense. I'm not

568
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 2: picking tou Lane outright. I haven't done the study of

569
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: what I expect in this game. I'm not doing that.

570
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 2: I'm not going there with it yet. Maybe I will

571
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:58,239
Speaker 2: buy Thursday. I gave you.

572
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: I gave you the opening for USC, I gave the

573
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,440
Speaker 1: opening for Vandy tie do it. Well, we'll see.

574
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:07,760
Speaker 2: I'm I like Tulane more than after just one week

575
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,239
Speaker 2: against Southeast Louisiana whoever it was Southeast Louisiana State. I

576
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 2: like them more than I expected. Okay, they won the

577
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: game by fifty two fifty two to Neil Pretty good.

578
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: John Sarmol's first game. Everybody's excited about him. Everyone's got

579
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 2: him on their list of one of the best coaching hires.

580
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 2: This offseason. They started Darien Mensa, not your guy. Ty

581
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 2: Thompson a quote not Ty Thompson, Darien Mensa from San Luis, Obispo,

582
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 2: your favorite place in the world. He only threw it

583
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: twelve times.

584
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, he only.

585
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 2: Threw it twelve times. They ran it nearly forty times

586
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: for two hundred and forty some odd yards and four touchdowns.

587
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 2: The k State games at home next week. The Oklahoma

588
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 2: game is on the road the week after, so they've

589
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 2: got some heavy hitters on this schedule. We will break

590
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 2: those down and do time. But I just I just

591
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 2: want to get out ahead of this and say, if

592
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 2: Tulane is building the entire plane out of a beast

593
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 2: of a ground assault, I don't know what that means

594
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 2: for K State. I don't know what that means for Oklahoma.

595
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: They are going to absolutely maul the other G five

596
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 2: teams on this schedule, Yes, they're going to kill them

597
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: if they can run with this level of effectiveness against

598
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: the remainder of its schedule outside of these Power Conference opponents.

599
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: So again, I will talk more about the case State game,

600
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: but I was really impressed by what John Sumrall did

601
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: in his first game. Dariy Minsil looked really good. So

602
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: just something to keep your eyes on and you know

603
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 2: monitor as we go through here, but they could be

604
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: really good.

605
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: Do you have any objection to me calling Chandler Morris

606
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: chamo if Shamo Hamo if he keeps playing like this

607
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 1: for the main Green nice went still no defense, but

608
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: they should be fun and put up a bunch of points.

609
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,160
Speaker 1: Any straight thoughts from the American.

610
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I had the two lane thought. My

611
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: stray other thought on the G five level is Northern Illinois. Okay,

612
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 2: if I'm Northern Illinois fan, I'm over the moon. There's

613
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,959
Speaker 2: a caveat. It was a game against the Western Illinois Leathernecks,

614
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 2: so take over there. Game against ties Junior High and

615
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: Junior High. This needed to be an enormous win. And

616
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 2: it was fifty four or fifty four to fifteen. Excuse me?

617
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

618
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 2: The question I had about this team coming into the

619
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 2: season when he did the preview was what's going to

620
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 2: be the quarterback situation? There's a fair amount back elsewhere,

621
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: especially in offense. What is the quarterback situation going to?

622
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 2: Look like? They gave it to Ethan Hampton. He went

623
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 2: eighteen of twenty three, twenty eight and five touchdowns, and

624
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 2: IU has had the Rocky Lombardi experience who was okay

625
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 2: at best the last couple of years. But this offense

626
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 2: with actually capital a actually good quarterback play. Wow, is interesting.

627
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: It is interesting, and it makes the MAC potentially more

628
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: than the two horse race than we thought, which was

629
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 2: Toledo and Miami Ohio. It's been that way for most

630
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: of our natural lives at this point. But if NI

631
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,880
Speaker 2: you can get that quarterback play and get a little

632
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 2: bit more pop, it makes their case very interesting in

633
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 2: the MAC this year, and I us Notre Dame this week.

634
00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 2: We may get a better indication for what they're made

635
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 2: of in that game or not. I you know, maybe

636
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna pick. I'm not picking. In not doing that,

637
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 2: we'll probably get a better sense for who they are

638
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 2: this week against a much better defense. But I was

639
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: really encouraged by Ethan Hampton. I thought he looked awesome.

640
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the voice that I've been doing. It's

641
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: it's vaguely shreder esque from the animated Ninja Turtle show

642
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: from all those years ago. How could you tie hilden

643
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: Breads a little bit? That's a little shreddery. I have

644
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 1: big twelve thoughts. Okay, TCU had a defense at times

645
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: did a nice job at times getting crucial stops against Stanford.

646
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 2: TCU gave up twenty seven points. That's okay to Stanford

647
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 2: on the road.

648
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 1: That's okay. They got stops when accounted. They held the past.

649
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: I mean LK a omanor got I think he went

650
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: barely over one hundred, but I think they did a

651
00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:07,239
Speaker 1: nice job. We're talking about steps, Tie. Yeah, progress is

652
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: not linear. I sure there's progress from TCU in week

653
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: one on the road in a weird place. That's all.

654
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: That's all I'm gonna say. Brendan Storesby for Cincinnati, Yeah,

655
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you should against Howson, you should do it,

656
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: and he did what you should do. I mentioned the

657
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,600
Speaker 1: North Dakota thing. They just limited possessions against Iowa State.

658
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: This wasn't ever really a game to me. Takwan Finns

659
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: struggled through a couple of picks. I only watched a

660
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: little bit of this clips wise against Tarleton. I'm not

661
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: worried yet, but I'm monitoring Tie.

662
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 2: I talked to our friend Peter Pope. I texted with

663
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 2: him after the game or during the game, and he

664
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 2: said the first half was good, the second half was

665
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 2: sloppy as hell, And okay, you know, Finn's arm is

666
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 2: much better when he's on the run, which I think

667
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: we knew that was kind of his mo back at Toledo.

668
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: We just didn't see a whole lot of it in

669
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 2: this game. The defense, I think was more the story

670
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 2: from his standpoint, Peter, who files Baylor and has for

671
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: an eternity, they looked better. They were bad a year ago.

672
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: Dave Randa made the news this offseason by taking back

673
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 2: control of that defense. They did, in Peter's words, exactly

674
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: what they should have done against an inferior opponent. So

675
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 2: I think that might be the better story to highlight

676
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 2: here and to monitor now, is we get a little

677
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 2: bit deeper into this Big twelve season.

678
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 1: Anything else from the Big twelve from you now?

679
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 2: From the Big Twelve. I have a big ten thought.

680
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 2: I can't believe I'm saying this about the Washington Huskies,

681
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 2: but I have a big ten thought and I have

682
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 2: an sec thought. The Washington thing to me that's worth

683
00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 2: mentioning is the run defense. It was not good in

684
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: the first half against Weaver State. That's okay, it did

685
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 2: get better. The thought that kept coming to mind for

686
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 2: me was This is a team that plays Rutgers, Michigan, Iowa,

687
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 2: Penn State, and Oregon. And if you want to put

688
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: wood he marks in USC in that class you can

689
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 2: as well. These are all teams that can run the football. Yeah,

690
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:08,360
Speaker 2: so maybe it was a slow start. I tend to

691
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 2: attribute much more of any any deficiencies we see in

692
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,800
Speaker 2: week one to being a slow start and rustiness and

693
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 2: all that.

694
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,360
Speaker 1: And trying to be probably as vanilla as possible against

695
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: an opponent you know, you're going.

696
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 2: Totally, yeah, totally, totally, totally, that's all true. I do

697
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:24,359
Speaker 2: think the run defense is worth monitoring. Though they looked

698
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 2: good at offense, it took him a little bit to

699
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 2: get going, but you know, Jed Fish had a good

700
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 2: offense out there. Will Rogers was better after he warmed up.

701
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,839
Speaker 2: They've got weapons out wide. I think the offense will

702
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: be fine, but the run defense in particular is I

703
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 2: think something worth monitoring. They were pretty good in the secondary,

704
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 2: They look good there, But just the run defense and

705
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: what they look like against other opponents in the Big

706
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:46,880
Speaker 2: Ten that we know can run the football will be

707
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:47,600
Speaker 2: interesting to chart.

708
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 1: Two things, two straight thoughts on the Big Ten punt

709
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 1: interception punt, missfield goal, punt interception? Who has that? Whose

710
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: first half was that? UCLA did not score a single

711
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,399
Speaker 1: point in the first half against Hawaii. It's week one,

712
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: it's a long flight there, it's a different kind of place.

713
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: I'm monitoring. I'm filing this away for UCLA. It's gonna

714
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: need We're gonna quick improvement. They have LSU very soon,

715
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:14,319
Speaker 1: do they not?

716
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 3: Ye?

717
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 1: They have LSU this month, So figure it out, Ucla,

718
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: figure it out. I know there's a lot of new things.

719
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 1: I was excited to see this offense with Eric b Enemy,

720
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 1: just like, Hey, that's a big name higher Let's see

721
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: what when he has his hands on a college team

722
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: what he does?

723
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 2: Do you know who? The PFF Again, I.

724
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: Have no idea how any of this is calculated or

725
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: how any of this you know the tabulation. I don't

726
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: know any of this. PFF's number one team. As for

727
00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: I think it's like general quality of play, like the

728
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 1: most players who are high level in their performance. This week,

729
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: your Rutgers Scarlet Knights were America's number one team in

730
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: terms of performance against their opponent. They were incredible against Howard.

731
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: That was the only nugget that I took away from it.

732
00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: They killed him. They absolutely killed them. Anything for the

733
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 2: Big ten otherwise, well nothing from the Big ten, but

734
00:36:00,040 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 2: but more of the PF point pff point, excuse me.

735
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,240
Speaker 2: Brock Vandergriff was the highest graded offensive player for Kentucky

736
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 2: who and they won thirty one zero over Southern miss

737
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 2: in a game that was called early in the third

738
00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 2: quarter because of lightning. But the bit that we did

739
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:21,120
Speaker 2: see was good. It was good if you're a card

740
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 2: carrying vander Grifter the way Dan and I are. Brock

741
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 2: Vandergrift did nothing to throw cold water on any of

742
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: the preseason optimism. I thought the better news actually on

743
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: the offensive side was the way that Bush Hampden maybe

744
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 2: tipped off a little bit how he wants to approach

745
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 2: a defense. And they had a ton of explosion plays

746
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: in this game. But there was a lot of propensity

747
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 2: to stretch a team from side to side and then

748
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 2: attack vertically, pull him apart, attack the seams, pull him apart,

749
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: attack vertically, and I thought that was really interesting to see.

750
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:03,120
Speaker 2: I'm curious to see how it poor tends to Kentucky's

751
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 2: performance when it comes to the Georgia game a couple

752
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 2: weeks from now. Agree. I think that would be an

753
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 2: ideal way to attack Georgia if they can pull it off.

754
00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 2: If they can pull it off noted qualifier No, but

755
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: at least with what we saw here from vander Griffin,

756
00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: from some of the other playmakers on that team, and

757
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:24,359
Speaker 2: the way that they schemed, I was really encouraged by

758
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 2: what we saw there. So I would like to see

759
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 2: him play a full game against a better opponent. That

760
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 2: goes without saying, but through one week anyway, you, I think,

761
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 2: feel pretty good about being the vander Grifter like you

762
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:36,760
Speaker 2: and I agree?

763
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 1: Can I go to the Mountain West real quick?

764
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 3: Oh?

765
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah? Please?

766
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:44,319
Speaker 1: We got to see Kenny Amandalolo run a team that

767
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: wasn't running the option and they won. They won, They

768
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 1: scored forty points. They had a receiver that had one

769
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy of Nick Nash I believe for the Spartans,

770
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 1: Emmett Brown through a well. So we have proof of

771
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: concept ish with San Jose State and Monololo running a

772
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 1: non option offense. I think that's cool to see. Also

773
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:07,560
Speaker 1: in the Mountain West Boise State, the story is action

774
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: genty action genty. Maybe that's what we should call them.

775
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 1: Action action Ashton Genty. Sure the Boise State defense might

776
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 1: be not great. You think their mud I think ahead

777
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 1: of this week's game against Oregon, I think we're burying

778
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 1: not the lead, but maybe a co lead here that

779
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:30,239
Speaker 1: Obviously it's great to have an All American running back,

780
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,399
Speaker 1: but they gave up a lot to Georgia Southern week

781
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: one can adjust, can sort of see what they have

782
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: and don't have. It's something I'm monitoring time. I'm filing

783
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 1: this away for four days from now or whatever. That's all.

784
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 2: It's all I got stray thought wise, leftover thoughts from

785
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,880
Speaker 2: the weekend that was, in particular the Saturday games and

786
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,839
Speaker 2: the Sunday games. If you've got anything out there, there

787
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 2: are a couple different ways that you can reach out

788
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 2: and let us know. Obviously, social media were everywhere. We'd

789
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 2: love to hear from you, So send us a tweet

790
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,640
Speaker 2: or a DM or send us an email soliverbogmail dot com.

791
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,120
Speaker 2: You can either send it to that address or go

792
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,600
Speaker 2: to our website hit the contact button. You can also

793
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 2: text us on the reverb line eight five to five

794
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,200
Speaker 2: verbal three. We will take your feedback for this show

795
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 2: in text format eight five to five veruble three. To

796
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: send us a text message. It pops up on my phone,

797
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: So if you want to spam me, I got notifications.

798
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 2: I haven't turned them off yet, so that may come

799
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 2: a little bit later on this season.

800
00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 1: Will it be a robot voice reading the text aloud

801
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 1: on the reverbs? I can't believe Baylor was unable to

802
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: stop the pass against Texas Tech.

803
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:39,760
Speaker 2: We can get Nancy, our fembot, to do it. Okay,

804
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 2: shout out Nancy. We can get her to do it.

805
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: If there is a text that is worthy eight five

806
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,279
Speaker 2: five Verble three is where you can send those texts

807
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 2: if you're interested. I'd love to get your stray thoughts,

808
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 2: your thoughts on the usc LSU game as well. Can

809
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,359
Speaker 2: I just jump ahead a little bit?

810
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: I would love that.

811
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 2: So here is what the week ahead looks like right now.

812
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 2: We're recording this on Labor Day, very early on. But

813
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 2: I know the way this works. You start planning your

814
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 2: weekend out in advance, and if you need to make

815
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 2: any accommodations or anything to try and get yourself in

816
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,520
Speaker 2: front of a TV. It's never too early to start

817
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 2: that planning process, right you know this? Yes, So from

818
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:23,840
Speaker 2: a show standpoint, from what we're doing Big Ten Breakfast

819
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: nine am live on the YouTube channel on Friday Friday. Yes,

820
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 2: we're switching to Friday this week. It was always going

821
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: to be Friday, but there was one game on Thursday

822
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,240
Speaker 2: we had to accommodate. That's going to be live Friday

823
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 2: morning nine am. We also have the week two preview episode,

824
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 2: which is going to drop Thursday am. You can watch

825
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 2: the video at noon on YouTube if you're ever so

826
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:49,560
Speaker 2: inclined Eastern, yes, Eastern time. And then the recap. The

827
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: recap was live this past weekend on Saturday night at

828
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 2: midnight Eastern. It will again and continue to be live

829
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,399
Speaker 2: midnight Eastern out in our YouTube channel. You can get

830
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,960
Speaker 2: that audio. So if you're not much for staying up late,

831
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 2: that's fine too. You can get that audio pretty early

832
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,319
Speaker 2: on Sunday am so that you can go through your

833
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 2: day finish out the weekend in style by not only

834
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 2: listening to the show but also bringing yourself up to speed.

835
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 2: So that's what our schedule looks like. But as for

836
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,440
Speaker 2: the actual on field stuff that we care about, there

837
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 2: are a bunch of interesting games. Oh there's a ton

838
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 2: so many. So the Big Four games for my money,

839
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 2: Texas at Michigan goes without saying.

840
00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 1: Early, right, or isn't that a big noon Saturday situation

841
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:31,920
Speaker 1: early game?

842
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, we got the Syhawk game. We got Iowa

843
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,399
Speaker 2: stated I which should be interesting in its own right.

844
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 2: We've got Tennessee NC State Neutral Cider, which I think

845
00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 2: will be a great game. And then we've got Colorado Nebraska.

846
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,520
Speaker 2: There's a lot riding on that game really from both

847
00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 2: sides of things. So those are like the four big

848
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 2: ones that I pulled out. But there are a bunch

849
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 2: of sneaky good games, and I think that is where

850
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:54,520
Speaker 2: Week two really earns its keep. It's not the headliners,

851
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 2: it's the sneaky good games. One of these is going

852
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 2: to end up being an upset. I just feel it

853
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 2: in my bones. Arkansas at Oklahoma State, Arkansas put up

854
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 2: seventy and Taylor Green looked awesome. Kansas State at Tulane

855
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:08,640
Speaker 2: I already made the case for that game is a

856
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 2: sneaky good one. Kansas at Illinois that's only a five

857
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 2: and a half point line. App Stayed at Clemson much

858
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 2: bigger line, but we know app State could score Clemson,

859
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 2: perhaps licking its wounds a little bit. We'll see app

860
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 2: State's one of these G five teams that I think

861
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 2: we're pretty high on. So I want to see what

862
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:31,840
Speaker 2: they can do against maybe a lower level playoff caliber opponent.

863
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what we call Clemson at this point.

864
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah.

865
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 2: And then you mentioned Boise State Boyce to State against

866
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 2: your Oregon Ducks late right later game.

867
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. Man, I'm a little bit nervous time. I'm not

868
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:43,880
Speaker 1: gonna lie. Can I give you another game that it

869
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 1: just like is going to explain a good amount to

870
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: me at least like the first half of these these

871
00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 1: team schedules or these team seasons.

872
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 2: Is it Georgia Tech at Syracuse?

873
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,800
Speaker 1: Oh? I can't wait for that. Maybe that that qualifies

874
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:57,239
Speaker 1: as well.

875
00:42:57,560 --> 00:43:00,839
Speaker 2: Is it Pitt at Cincinnati? Nope? Is it Marshall at

876
00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech? No? I also have those games listed. What's yours?

877
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 2: Maryland Michigan State? Oh? Okay.

878
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: Not that I'm expecting a ton of progress from Michigan State,

879
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: but that performance against FAU left a lot to be

880
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 1: desired from That was Michigan State.

881
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 2: That was a game where you slack me and say.

882
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 1: Wolf, yeah, Wolf, yeah, buzz your girlfriend wolf?

883
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 2: Right?

884
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,880
Speaker 1: Wasn't that the origin of me saying wolf about things

885
00:43:28,920 --> 00:43:29,360
Speaker 1: like that.

886
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 2: I should pull that sound. We can use that sound.

887
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:35,440
Speaker 1: I'm pretty excited for Kansas Illinois, to be honest, that

888
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:38,040
Speaker 1: was a Illinois made a ton of mistakes last year

889
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 1: and Lawrence, but the game is now in Champagne this year.

890
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:42,880
Speaker 1: I'm excited for that. I will watch a good chunk

891
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,239
Speaker 1: of that game. Otherwise, No, I think you nailed it.

892
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 1: Like I care a little bit less about Houston, but

893
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 1: I want to see what Jackson Arnald looks like against

894
00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,280
Speaker 1: probably a team with more of a heartbeat than Temple,

895
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:57,360
Speaker 1: I'll do for the Owls. Definitely Appstate Clemson you mentioned,

896
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: but Joey Aguilar experience, this is a I think this

897
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 1: isn be a good app State team. So curious to

898
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:06,480
Speaker 1: just see what the tenor of that game is. I agree. Otherwise,

899
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: I think I think you nailed it. Ty, I think

900
00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 1: that's bank you.

901
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,080
Speaker 2: So one final note here before we let the find

902
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 2: people go. We did get some feedback, yes, when we

903
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: did the Week one preview, and specifically people want the

904
00:44:19,560 --> 00:44:20,839
Speaker 2: quad Father segment back.

905
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: Oh, what is the customization status of the quad?

906
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 2: They have made it more customizable.

907
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: I was going to say not fully, not fully.

908
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 2: Customizable if you're a YouTube TV subscriber, not a sponsor,

909
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 2: could be right, but they have given you some liberties

910
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 2: to build your own quad box, which was kind of

911
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 2: what we were calling for a year ago, and there

912
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 2: were technical reasons why they couldn't, as it's been told

913
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 2: to me. But beyond that, last season we had this

914
00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,759
Speaker 2: whole segment. It didn't really work as part of the

915
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,839
Speaker 2: Week one preview because of the way that the games

916
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 2: were set up, but this week it most certainly does.

917
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: This week we're going to bring the quad Father segment back,

918
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 2: so we'll go through our big games at the top.

919
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 2: We will talk through each of the other windows of games,

920
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 2: and Dan, if you want to take it upon yourself

921
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: to build your custom quads, sure early for the afternoon

922
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 2: for the late games. We can reincorporate that back into

923
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: part of the show because that was fun last year

924
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 2: and we had good sounds for it and I enjoyed

925
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: talking through.

926
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 1: Somebody tweeted me that it needs to be an all

927
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:24,359
Speaker 1: TV quad option, that it's not just sports, because if

928
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: you have kids that have like a blue on the

929
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: upper right quadrant and give them the audio, but you

930
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 1: still get the other three quadrants to watch your football

931
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: and so sort of everybody's happy on the couch.
