Speaker 3: It's not the side of the dog in the fight,

9
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,080

15
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: season weeks, a bonus regular season week this season, which

16
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: is good because it's gone way too fast, even though

17
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: we've been basically trying our best to tread water get

18
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: a winner. Two on the board. You did the heavy

19
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: lifting last week. I know will really appreciate that. But

20
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: we got some extra time. There's still time to turn

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: this season around late and there's some really interesting games

22
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: this week on the card, not just from a gambling perspective,

23
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: but also in terms of the college football playoff race,

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 1: is their bear trap being laid by the Spartans for

25
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: Boise State. We'll get into that during the episode, and

26
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: of course we're gonna kick it off as always with

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: a bit of positivity coming out of Week eleven. For

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: our hero segment, I and Elo, it seems as though

29
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: in the pre meeting you had one chambered ready to

30
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: go sell the floor is yours?

31
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, First, all you said, I finally got off the

32
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: schneid with a nice four in one week, which I

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: desperately even my one loss. I mean, there's every the

34
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: wrong side, but it didn't lose to a minute left

35
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: in the game. I under Yeah, that felt really good.

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 2: So in the spirit of me turning the season around,

37
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: I'm turn around and take an unlikely hero of the week.

38
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give my boy Tim Beck Hero of the week,

39
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: the head coach for Coastal Carolina, who I've been very

40
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: hard on as a play caller and an offensive mind.

41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: But then he saved himself because before the game against

42
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: app State he was doing a little segment with Matt

43
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: Berry and Dan Mullen, who, by the way, maybe a

44
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: hot take probably my favorite booth in college football. They

45
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: are so good together. They have so much fun. They

46
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: don't take themselves seriously. They usually have a lower level game,

47
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: and you can just tell those two are so such

48
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: good friends. It comes through in the booth. I think

49
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 2: they're fantastic. Anyway. They're doing a segment. I just don't

50
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: even remember what it was for, but they were like cheers.

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: There was like a beer product and they were like, oh,

52
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 2: they were making a joke about chugging at Matthew Bear's. Oh,

53
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: we got to all be professional here. Well, they need

54
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: to turn around and Tim back is just shugging his

55
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: entire beer before the hours before the game. So Coastal

56
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 2: then goes on to score thirty eight points, the second

57
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: most they've scored since Week two. So it comes to

58
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 2: the argument, is Tim Beck better when he's a little

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: buzzed up. I mean, think about when you were in college,

60
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: the drunker you got, the better you got a beer

61
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: pong or to.

62
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: A degree, there's always a sweep. You needed to get

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: like three or four drinks in you, but not go

64
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: over the eight or nine threshold over.

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: The quarter between beer like two and a half and

66
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 2: five and a half that's.

67
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: When the elbow loosens up just in the right way.

68
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: You get a little bit of that arc on the show.

69
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: Sure, Beer Pong, Cornwall, you were better, So I think

70
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: you can make an argument Tim Beck is better after beer.

71
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 2: So if I see him chugging a beer pregame, I

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: might be on them again this week. But an honor

73
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 2: of Tim Back, we need to have a good show,

74
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: So Tim Back, let's have a good podcast. My hero

75
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: of the week the unlikely hero here.

76
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: I like that. That's a great I'm going to go

77
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: in a different direction. No hero whatsoever. It's villain tine.

78
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: We've never done a villain of the week. But I

79
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: as soon as the news broke and you shared it

80
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: with me on social media, I just kind of sat

81
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: at my computer, just staring at it for a good

82
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,039
Speaker 1: thirty seconds, just slowly filling with rage. My villain of

83
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: the week Milton Overton, the Kenesaw State Athletic director who

84
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: had the unmitigated goal to fire head coach Brian Bohannon.

85
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: Coach bo was the OWL program. He's the only head

86
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: coach they've ever had, Like he built it literally from nothing.

87
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: He built the goddamn program from nothing to four FCS

88
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: playoff berths in a five year period before moving up.

89
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: And by the way, everyone in the universe, whether you're

90
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: playing the college football video game or doing preview season

91
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: with us in August, we're just picking up a mag

92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: magazine and flip into the back. Everybody knew that Kennisau

93
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 1: was in a rebuild. It was a year zero. This

94
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: is their first year at FBS football. They weren't going

95
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,559
Speaker 1: to be good. They freaking beat Liberty. Did you see

96
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: that scene? Parents and players huggin Coach Bow looked like

97
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: the mayor of Kanisau. It was amazing. And then he

98
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: turns around in a three week period and fires this guy. Oh,

99
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: by the way, adding insult to injury, Coach Bow had

100
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: to come out and write the you know, communication wrongs

101
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 1: and say I'm not actually stepping down. I'm not quitting

102
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 1: on my team. I was forced out. I was fired.

103
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: Have some balls, Kennesaw State. Say you fired him. Don't

104
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: say we gave him the opportunity to resign. Bullshit. You

105
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: forced him out for no good reason. And by the way,

106
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: this isn't a program in the SEC that wants to

107
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: be bigger than they are, like a Tennessee or an

108
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: old miss where they're like, we got to compete for

109
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: national champions So they went through years of quickly firing

110
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 1: coaches and trying to be the Alabamas and Georgia's of

111
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: the world. You're kenisaw, this is like day one. What

112
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 1: better shepherd for your program, steward for your program than

113
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: this guy? And they go ahead and force them out.

114
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 1: What a scumbag move. My villain of the week Milton Overton.

115
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm not the only one that

116
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: feels this way. The alumni are already circling the wagons.

117
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: They're coordinating a blackout in the crowd to stand in

118
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: unity with coach Bo because they think so much of

119
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: him and so little of Overton. You know what, you

120
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: may be getting the opportunity to resign yourself there, Milton.

121
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: All right, So my villain of the week coming from

122
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: Conference USA.

123
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: By the way, his name being Milton Overton is so

124
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 2: I mean, that just sounds like a Bond villain. But yeah,

125
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: this was an absolute crock of shit. And look at

126
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 2: if they fired him at the end of the season. Fine,

127
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 2: this is not a story. If they fire him at

128
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: the end of the year, why on God's Green Earth.

129
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 2: Do you need to do this now? Why you're not

130
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,160
Speaker 2: winning another game the rest of the year. You weren't

131
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: gonna anyway. And it's like you mentioned, it's not like

132
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,480
Speaker 2: you know you're Tennessee or Florida. You know Florida firing

133
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 2: billion napiers, so they can you know, if they know

134
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: Lane Kiffin's gonna come, or you have a top recruit

135
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: that's unhappy with the offense and you want to get

136
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 2: in an offensive minor. You want to be first at

137
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 2: the line of the best coordinator in the country. You're

138
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 2: Kanisa State, You're the back of the line. You're going

139
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 2: to be the back of the line. Whether you fired

140
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: him today or you fired him in April, you're getting

141
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: the last coach. I will bet you one thousand dollars

142
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: right now. I've never heard of the guy they're going

143
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: to hire. Guarantee you like, so you've.

144
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Never heard of Hugh Freeze. I feel like this has

145
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: got Hugh Freezer all over it. Baby, Come on down

146
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: from the planes. It's not that far of a drive

147
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: from Auburn, Alabama to Kinda Saw.

148
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: At least, yes, this move made no sense. There's no

149
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: reason you're not getting a jump on the hiring cycle.

150
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 2: You're not getting You're not trying to save a recruiting class.

151
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 2: You're kanasas State. You're the worst team in the country.

152
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 2: This move is despicable and I absolutely hate it. And

153
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: Bohannon is now the first coach in history to go

154
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 2: from G five Hero of the Week to unemployed in

155
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 2: less than three weeks. And yeah, it completely socks and

156
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: I agree. This is a perfect villain of the week.

157
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 1: Now because my hate cup runneth over and I hit

158
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: you with a villain here out of week eleven, I

159
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: didn't have time to put together my thoughts on a hero.

160
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: You're the de facto hero. You went four in one

161
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: last week. Let's get to your best bet here in

162
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: week twelve. Keep this train rolling. You were laser focused.

163
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: All the reads were correct last week. What you got for.

164
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: Us well, I actually, just as I was taking that

165
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: last stip, if you're watching on YouTube, I'm drinking a

166
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 2: cone a big wave because it is I would call

167
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 2: this teal, I guess so I was trying to honor Timbeck,

168
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 2: but it actually I just realized works out double perfectly

169
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: because my best bets why minus two and a half

170
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 2: against Utah State we have talked about the crazy offseason

171
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 2: that Uta State had. This team is just in complete disarray.

172
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 2: They're two and seven. Their only FBS win was by

173
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: two points against Wyoming. They were out gained by one

174
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: hundred yards in that game. This team is terrible. Their

175
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,440
Speaker 2: biggest issue is clearly the defense. They rank one hundred

176
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 2: and twenty six in the country in success rate. They're

177
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: the bottom ten against the run. Against the pass they

178
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: were allowing are ridiculous point eight yards to play. You

179
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: hand the ball off once it's second and three. So

180
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: in their last five games, three of their opponents have

181
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: scored at least fifty points and Washington Skates State scored

182
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: forty nine last week. So they're just giving up points

183
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 2: by the boatload. Kent State is the only team in

184
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 2: the country that has allowed more than four that has

185
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: allowed more than the forty two points per game Utah

186
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 2: State is allowing. Over the last few weeks. I think Hawaii,

187
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: their offense is really started to put it together. I've

188
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 2: been really impressed the offense over the last like threeish weeks.

189
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: They put up thirty four on Nevada, twenty one on

190
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 2: Fresno State, but they moved about really well pair wins there.

191
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 2: They put up twenty seven on UNLV. They only lost

192
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: that game by two. I thought they played pretty well.

193
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: They had the blocked punt touchdown. Safety Ricky White did

194
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: his thing again. But Bradon Shaker looked really good. He's

195
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: coming off back to back three touchdown games and then

196
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 2: when before that he had four games four touchdowns rushing,

197
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: so he's playing good football. Not only do they have

198
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 2: Ashlock Ashlock at receiver, but Nick Sinicle has you know,

199
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: established himself as that number two target in this offense,

200
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 2: which we were kind of unsure with the McBride eligibility issues.

201
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 2: Now they do have their two one to two weapon

202
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: and Utah State can't run the ball at all, so

203
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: their only real option is passing. But the problem is

204
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 2: one their quarterback is Spencer Petris Goos thinks, and two

205
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 2: I like Hawaii's pass defense. You know defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman,

206
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: he's he was a defensive back specialists. He was the

207
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 2: dba's coach for the Jets during the Rivus Island days.

208
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 2: Hawaii rakes eighteenth in the country in coverage grade, and

209
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: their job is a lot easier without Jalen Royals. The

210
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: star Utah state wide receiver is out for the season,

211
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 2: which sucks. But this team averages two hundred and ninety

212
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: receiving yards per game, and he averaged one hundred and

213
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 2: nineteen of them. They have been held under two hundred

214
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 2: and thirty passing yards in each of the last two

215
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: weeks since Orels got hurt, their two lowest passing output

216
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: since week two. The offense just is lifeless without him.

217
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,599
Speaker 2: And you look at Hawaii. You know this is the

218
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 2: time of year. You start looking down where why is

219
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: four and six? Right now? They need to win out

220
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: to make a ball which is important to a program

221
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 2: like this under Timmy Chang. So I think they get

222
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,959
Speaker 2: this one. I'm going to roll with the Rainbow Warriors.

223
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: Here go both.

224
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: So this number being below three, it's totally predicated on

225
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: the historical data when it comes to Hawaii going to

226
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: the mainland. In the database dating back to two thousand

227
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: and three, why has only cash forty one percent of

228
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: tickets against the spread on the mainland. That's dead last

229
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: in the group of five dating back to two thousand

230
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: and three. Now, why do I have that written down?

231
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: By the way, It's because it was in my G

232
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: five high five picks. I'm also on the bows here.

233
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: I think it's the right side for a lot of reasons,

234
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: and even that number right there in terms of there

235
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 1: against the spread performance dating back over twenty years. The

236
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: reality is this year they've looked pretty good in those trips.

237
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: They went fifteen rounds of San Diego State. Yes, it

238
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: was a loss, but they acquitted themselves well against an

239
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: asset team that at least had played better at home

240
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: the season. And then, as you mentioned, if they beat

241
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: Fresno on the road, they come back, they rally in

242
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter. They showed a lot of fight there,

243
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 1: and this Uta State defense has no fight. You got

244
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: into it. But I even have more stats to share,

245
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: and I think we should because this defense is a

246
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: special kind of bad. In terms of available yards allowed percentage,

247
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: they're one hundred and twenty eighth in the country. Any

248
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: opportunity that teams have to move the ball, they do it.

249
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: They've given up forty five points or more in six

250
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 1: of nine games, and that includes forty five points to Temple,

251
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,079
Speaker 1: which I think counts for seventy points against a regular

252
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: FBS team. So I'm with you here. I think Shager,

253
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 1: as long as they can protect him. That is the

254
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 1: difference because when you look at Utah State, not only

255
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: are they awful in terms of coverage and tackling and

256
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: pass rush, but they don't create negative plays there one

257
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty six in that regard, And when Shagar

258
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: gets battered, they usually fall apart. Offensively. He took six

259
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: sacks and only completed forty percent of his passes in

260
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: a narrow loss against UNLV sacked eight times against Boise

261
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 1: when they only scored seven points. But when they keep

262
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: them upright and they keep him protected, he's a gamer.

263
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 1: He's somebody that gives him a chance to win laden

264
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: games as well. So with a number under the key

265
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 1: figure of three, I think this is the right play.

266
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: So I like that a lot. To get our program started,

267
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: I'd go with my best bet. I had a rough

268
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,719
Speaker 1: week last week, so you know, in those opportunities, you

269
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: got to go back to the tried and true, the

270
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: bread winners. North Texas overs Baby get me back involved

271
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: the mean green taken on UTSA. The numbers sen it's

272
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: seventy two and a half, the highest on the board

273
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,160
Speaker 1: here in week twelve. That doesn't scare me. Well, Friday

274
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 1: Night lights. I think this is going to be an

275
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: absolute shootout. Listen, it's been, as I mentioned, not just

276
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: a rough week last week, about two weeks in a

277
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: row for me. But I think we got a big

278
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: gift in Army dispatching North Texas fourteen to three, because

279
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: in my opinion, it is deflating this number, and the

280
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 1: perception is that North Texas took a step backwards offensively,

281
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: but in my estimation, when you look at it, that

282
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: was just the absolute dream scenario for Army because let's

283
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: keep in mind North Texas has been the overteam this

284
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: entire season. They're seven to two to the over offensively

285
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: scoring a hundred and seven excuse me, offensively points per

286
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: game seventeenth in the country, defensively points per game one

287
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: hundred and nineteenth, total offense third, total defense one hundred

288
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: and twentieth. So just absolutely the needle going and opposite directions,

289
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: depending which side of the ball has it in North

290
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: Texas games. But of their seven games that went over

291
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 1: this year, blowing past the over, I think that's the

292
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: fear factor. There's not been that many games with a

293
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 1: number north of seventy this year. In terms of the

294
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: running clock on first downs and a lot of teams

295
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: playing keep away. They've gone over in those seven games

296
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 1: where they cash by an average of sixteen and a

297
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: half points per game. So blowing past it and the

298
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: Army buzz saw that they just talked about a perfect

299
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: Army script for Bryson daily everything that they did. But

300
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: you look at North Texas offensively, they only had six

301
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 1: drives in the whole game, a red zone field goal,

302
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: a turnover on downs of the two, a pick in

303
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: the end zone, a pick in the end zone. That

304
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: was four of their six drives. So I'm just throwing

305
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 1: out that data sample because that is not what you're

306
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 1: going to get with two lightning quick tempo teams here.

307
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: North Texas fourth and seconds per play, utsa ninth and

308
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: second for play. So just on that alone, I'm excited

309
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: about this. Then you fold in the quarterback play. We

310
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 1: talked about Chandler Morris. I didn't talk that much about

311
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: own McCown in the preseason. I had a different pick

312
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,440
Speaker 1: for the road runner. As a quarterback, he's been fantastic

313
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: in the last month. He's averaged three hundred and forty

314
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: eight total yards per game across the last month, thirteen

315
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: total touchdowns to just two interceptions, and I think that's

316
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: the difference him taking that step up to a Frank

317
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: Harris light kind of level. It's elevated their entire offense

318
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: the last three games forty two point three points per game,

319
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: including an upset of Memphis, really has given them a

320
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: shot in their arm in terms of their bowl chances.

321
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: And that's the only thing that could scare me away.

322
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: In these late season MAC Conference USA games where you

323
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: have some of these teams that are drawing dead from

324
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 1: a bowl eligibility standpoint, that is not the case with

325
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: the road Runners and the Me and Green here. They

326
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: also get an opportunity to take a beat after upsetting Memphis.

327
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 1: They got a weak rest in between. I think there's

328
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: less of a letdown factor. So my numbers call for

329
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: this to be seventy seven seventy two and a half

330
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: is absolutely overplay for me.

331
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:03,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad you brought this game up, because this

332
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: is a game I actually have on my cutting room

333
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 2: floor that I was gonna ask you at the end.

334
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,600
Speaker 2: I initially had this as my in my high five

335
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: and I as North Texas minus one and a half.

336
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: I was initially I actually started to write up to

337
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 2: be ingreenient. I was halfway through it, changed my mind,

338
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 2: kicked it to the cutting room floor, and it's for

339
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,280
Speaker 2: exactly what you're talking about is account has been awesome

340
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: in the last month, and you know, you look at

341
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: the UTSA offensive numbers, they're like one hundred and twelve

342
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 2: or something in that range. They can't run the ball

343
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: at all, and they basically stopped trying to run the ball,

344
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 2: which is what's helped their play. And like you said,

345
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: mccow's coming up back to back four touchdown games. So

346
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: I ended up basically bumping them off because I was

347
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 2: afraid a little bit of how good UTSA is playing

348
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: on offense. So that actually lends itself nicely tier over,

349
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 2: especially because you know they're gonna be throwing the ball

350
00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: all game. Utsa's run the defense has actually been pretty good,

351
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: So I just think you see both teams just throw,

352
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 2: they're gonna you know, forty eight pass attempts on both

353
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 2: sides of this game. Yeah, I actually kind of like

354
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,920
Speaker 2: you're over more than my North Texas play. So yeah,

355
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: I'm glad you went with this one.

356
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: We move on to the G five High five.

357
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 3: The G five High five should be high five high.

358
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: Five five picks, bundle them together in terms of a

359
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,919
Speaker 1: two pack of round robin picks, or by threes or

360
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: just you know, a four pick parlay. In this case,

361
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: because I've already mentioned Hawaii, we are you know, of

362
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: like mind on that with the bows. So we each

363
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 1: have two this week in the segments. I'll kick it

364
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: to you first. I and Elo as the hot hand.

365
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 2: I'm going to the mac again. Cashed it last week,

366
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: so this is Wednesday, so hopefully you're listening early. Get

367
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:50,639
Speaker 2: it in quick. I'm actually fading the team, not really fading,

368
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: but I'm going against the team that I cashed last week.

369
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 2: Give me Akron plus fifteen and a half against Northern Illinois.

370
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 2: This is just as simple. I think this number is

371
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 2: too big. You know, I talked about Akron a few

372
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 2: weeks ago when I cashed them on the money line.

373
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 2: They've just been underrated all year because their non conference

374
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 2: was brutal and you know, they lost some close games

375
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 2: they probably should have won. But I just think they're

376
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: continuing to be underrated because of their Akron and they

377
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 2: got what two wins on the year, but you look

378
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: at their last four games, they lost a Bowl and

379
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,400
Speaker 2: Green by seven. Bowling Green is both of our picks

380
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: to win the MAC. They lost a Western Michigan by ten.

381
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,440
Speaker 2: They beat eas Eastern Michigan, that was one I had,

382
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 2: and then they lost to Buffalo by eleven. Ben Finley

383
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,199
Speaker 2: is an experienced quarterback. He provides a steady hand for them.

384
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 2: He's nothing special, but he's fine. Michigan State transfer Jordan

385
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,360
Speaker 2: Simmons has been running the ball really well for the Zips. Recently.

386
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 2: They're thirty eighth in the country in success right. They've

387
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: been leaning on that more and more deeper into the season.

388
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: And then we know this Northern Illinois team. They want

389
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: to run the ball and they want to play defense.

390
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 2: They want to shorten the game. There's not a team

391
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 2: that profiles as like a blow your doors off as

392
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: a big favorite. They just want to get in, get

393
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 2: their business done, and get out. They're not really an

394
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 2: explosive offense, and their strength is running the ball. And

395
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: I think Ackrons defense, while not anything ride Home about,

396
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: they've been much better at defending the run than the past.

397
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: So Akron's also coming off of bye week here, so

398
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,880
Speaker 2: Joe Morehead has had more time to prepare. They've had

399
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 2: like eleven days to prepare. And you look at this

400
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 2: Northern Illinois team. As much as they've had a good year,

401
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 2: the only team they've beaten all year by more than

402
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 2: fourteen is Western Illinois in the season opener. So again,

403
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 2: they're just not a team that blows teams out. That's

404
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,880
Speaker 2: just not how they play. They're short in the game,

405
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 2: run the ball, play defense. I think that suits well

406
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: for Aker. I think you're gonna do the same thing.

407
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 2: I think to keep it close on Wednesday night. I

408
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 2: like this anything north of fourteen.

409
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 1: I think I did a compliment here. I have not

410
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: looked in the app. I don't know if Stucky's on it,

411
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: but this feels like a Stucky Mac play. This is

412
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 1: definitely deep in the trash, but also just pointing out

413
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: that there's not a huge spread differential between team's top

414
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: to bottom, and certainly a Northern Illinois team that struggles

415
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: offensively to create big, explosive plays and absolutely lay huge

416
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,360
Speaker 1: numbers on people, you're even if they are to cover

417
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,120
Speaker 1: this number, I don't feel I would not feel comfortable

418
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: with this offense being able to make it sweat free.

419
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: Certainly like I got to be up with twenty eight

420
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 1: points in the fourth quarter to not sweat this one out.

421
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 2: I pass on that.

422
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,639
Speaker 1: So I think, just from a situational spot, given how

423
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: much we know about the Mac and how much there's

424
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 1: kind of a log jam of mediocre teams in that conference,

425
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: whereas you know, at least with this dog, you have

426
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: a quarterback you can trust. I mean, that's a lot

427
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,399
Speaker 1: more than you can say about many teams at the

428
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 1: bottom of the G five. So I think your point

429
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 1: is well taken there.

430
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just looked. As of Tuesday night, Stucky has

431
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 2: not bet it yet, but I agree with you. I

432
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: wouldn't be shocked if I'll be very happy if I

433
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: see this come in Wednesday morning, because obviously he is

434
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: the Mac maestro. This was actually the first bet I

435
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: made this week. Acroed open to eighteen and a half

436
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,320
Speaker 2: and I was like, that's crazy. So it's the first

437
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 2: bet I made zips eighteen and a half. It's been

438
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: bet it's all the way down to fifteen and a half.

439
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: Like I said, I still like it. I think I

440
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: like any more than two touchdowns, So get in as

441
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: soon as you can. I think these stand alone games

442
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 2: tend to the line send move a lot more because

443
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,520
Speaker 2: everyone's banexed. It's the only game. So hopefully listen to

444
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: this early Wednesday morning and you can jump on the zips.

445
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: Last week I hitched my wagon too, John Mattier. It

446
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: was a good decision against Utah State. They went ballistic offensively.

447
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: They scored forty nine points. It seemed like every drive

448
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 1: was a quality drive against the Aggies. They're on the

449
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: road in Albuquerque playing New Mexico. They're laying twelve and

450
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: a half. I don't think it's enough points under the

451
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: key number of two scores, two touchdowns, I should say,

452
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,720
Speaker 1: because this reeks of the old BCS days, and by

453
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 1: that I mean style points in capitol letters. I just

454
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 1: wrote it up in the New York Post. At Bett Parks,

455
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: you can get Wazuo to make the College to Well

456
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 1: playoff at fifty to one, I think there's a very

457
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: good likelihood that they are going to be eleven and one,

458
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: which then means that there's certain elements of that play

459
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: that are outside of their control. Namely, they need Notre

460
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: Dame and Army to lose some games. If Army could

461
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: upset Notre Dame and potentially naming them out of an

462
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: at large spot and then have Army lose in the

463
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 1: AAC title game. Yes, these are things that are unlikely

464
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 1: to happen in that exactly.

465
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: They need eight SEC teams to lose four games.

466
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 1: No, see, I disagree. I think when you look at

467
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 1: they beat that, you know, the doors off of Texas Tech.

468
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: They beat Washington on a neutral site. I agree the

469
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 1: rest of their schedule is underwhelming, but the fact of

470
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: the matter is, I think there's a little bit of

471
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: human nature and where the committee has them right now.

472
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: I believe they're at eighteen. Crazier things have happened in

473
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: terms of movement late in polls, and we still have

474
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 1: three weeks of the regular season left and an opportunity

475
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: on championship weekend for some teams that are sitting there

476
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: with one or two losses to get an extra loss

477
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: can potentially be bumped out of that at large conversation.

478
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: But that is not what this is all about. Although

479
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: last thing I'll say, ESPN's All State playoff predictor says

480
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: Wazoo if they went out, they got a thirteen percent

481
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: chance to make it as an at large bid at

482
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,200
Speaker 1: fifty to one. I rolled the dice on that. I

483
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: think that's good value. But onto this game, onto the field,

484
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: let's talk it up. Wazoo needs to run it up.

485
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: That's it. This is what they have to do. It's

486
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 1: still human nature. If they can beat New Mexico by

487
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 1: forty five points and start running away from teams late

488
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: in the season, I think they have a better opportunity

489
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: to be at least a talking point in the room

490
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: of the College Football playoff Committee. I think they know

491
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: that they're certainly not going to play it conservatively if

492
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 1: they get an opportunity and they have the offense to

493
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: just lay it on New Mexico because the theme of

494
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 1: this week for me is give me as many awful

495
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: defenses on my car to either to fade them or

496
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: go over with as it can in Christ. New Mexico

497
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: is just dreadful on defense. I love this offense. I

498
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: love what Bronco has been able to do in year one.

499
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: And you usually see this in rebuild situations. You get

500
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: the right quarterback in, you get the right offensive coordinator,

501
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: even get yourself one or two playmakers. They have it

502
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 1: at running back. They certainly have it at Y Song

503
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: out on the perimeter now that he's healthy again. Great

504
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: job Bronco. You made this offense absolutely above average by

505
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 1: Mound West standards in one year. But this is easily

506
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: a bottom five run defense, and they've made lousy defenses

507
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: look incredible. They get up forty nine points and six

508
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: hundred yards to Wyoming at home. So when you look

509
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 1: at how low is the floor on this defense, they're subterranean.

510
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: They are just the moneyball reference. There's rich teams, there's

511
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: four teams, there's five hundred feet of crap, and then

512
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: there's us the five hundred feet of crap and down

513
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,760
Speaker 1: below that's the New Mexico defense. So when I look

514
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: at this, I got a dual threat superstar on John

515
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: Mattier and a linebacking core that I think is going

516
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: to be get picked Apart not only in that intermediate

517
00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: passing game where Matier absolutely thrives, he is super elite

518
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,359
Speaker 1: in the quick game, in that medium range ten to

519
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: twenty yards downfield, in that ten to nineteen yard window,

520
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,120
Speaker 1: eighty four grade out of one hundred from PFF, and

521
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: that means slants, hitches, out routes in that window. New

522
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,719
Speaker 1: Mexico is bottom fifteen defending all three of those. So

523
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: I think the linebackers are going to be victimized here.

524
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 1: And then finally, the real question here laying twelve and

525
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: a half is if Wazoo does what I think they

526
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 1: can do, which is thread in a fifty burger, can

527
00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: they get any stops? Now New Mexico go at least

528
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 1: down the stretch. I know that why Song was hurt

529
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 1: for a portion of it. But Colorado State held them

530
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: to six, San Diego State held them to twenty one.

531
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: That's all in the past three weeks. How did those

532
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 1: teams do it? Because they still gave up a lot

533
00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: of yards. Colorado State gave up four hundred and fifty

534
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: plus to the Lobos, almost four to seventy five against

535
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:16,959
Speaker 1: the Aztecs.

536
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 2: But both of those.

537
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: Defenses got off the field on third down thirty eight

538
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: percent of their conversions is all the Lobos could get.

539
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 1: That's the exact number dead on for Wazoo's third down

540
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: defense this year. And then finally, the Coops have been

541
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: solid in the red zone their top forty and scoring

542
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: percentage allowed. So I think they're going to get off

543
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: the field a few times. I think they're going to

544
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: force them to kick some field goals or go for

545
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: it on fourth down. In the red zone. Maybe get

546
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,200
Speaker 1: some stops there. I think it'll be enough. I'm not

547
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 1: going to say it'll be sweat free because the New

548
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: Mexico offense does have my respect. The back door may

549
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: be open, but I'm going to go ahead and lay

550
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: any number below fourteen.

551
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it. I think, you know. My only

552
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 2: pushback would just be Washington State as like crazy splits

553
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 2: home versus the way they've been just a completely different

554
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 2: team at home. But I agree, I think twelve still

555
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: probably too short, but I think this would be obviously

556
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: over fourteen if it was at home. Yeah, I like it.

557
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 2: Speaking of fading defenses, I'll do as well. We'll stick

558
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 2: with the team here. Much better have my money. And

559
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 2: by the way, butcho's us some money because I think

560
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 2: you're like over four bet in Arkansas takeing.

561
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: No, that's not correct. I think I lost the last

562
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: one for sure, because you know, to quote my good

563
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: friend Brett McMurphy, this just in Louisiana. Just scored another

564
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: touchdown on the Arkansas State defense. Yeah, that was a

565
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,919
Speaker 1: brutal performance, but I think I I think I was

566
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,200
Speaker 1: two and one with the Red Wolves before that.

567
00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 2: Real quick tangent if Boise loses in the conference title game,

568
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 2: which now looks like Colorado State, Louisiana or Tulane or

569
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: too lost Poise.

570
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: I think probably Louisiana to keep playing like this because

571
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: their metrics are really really strong, particularly in the offensive side.

572
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:54,680
Speaker 1: I know the committee looks at things like that.

573
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 2: Julane's currently ranked ahead of them, and they'll pick up

574
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 2: wins over Navy, Memphis and Army, so that might propel them. Yeah. Anyway, Yeah,

575
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: I'm going to Arkansas State plus two and a half.

576
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 2: This is honestly more about just continuing to fade this

577
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: Georgia State team once again. You know, they're finally back

578
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 2: at home after that four game road trip that we

579
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:19,840
Speaker 2: cashed last week as JMU blew them out. But that

580
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: had to have taken a toll on them. It's just

581
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: been a long month in a long season. They've now

582
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 2: lost six games in a row. The defense is getting

583
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 2: worse and worse and worse. They have a lot of

584
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 2: these thirty points four games in a row in seven

585
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,640
Speaker 2: of their last nine games, they're giving up six point

586
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 2: four yards for play, and this is exactly what Arkansas

587
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,680
Speaker 2: State's offense needs right now. The Red Wolves are team

588
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 2: that's been inconsistent all year cost us both money, but

589
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: the team has kind of been The offense has played

590
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,760
Speaker 2: really well against bad defenses. If you look at them

591
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 2: on the year, this offense lit up Central Arkansas, Tulsa,

592
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 2: South Alabama, Southern Miss and Troy, and then they lost

593
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 2: to the four best teams they played. And yeah, we

594
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: thought to keep it close in those games. They really didn't,

595
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 2: but they kind of they hummed against the bad teams,

596
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,959
Speaker 2: and Georgia State falls into that category of teams they

597
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 2: should light up. Arkansas State has their issues on defense

598
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 2: as well, but I don't trust the Panthers offense to

599
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 2: be able to keep up with all the explosive weapons

600
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,160
Speaker 2: the Red Wolves have. We talked about Rucker and Jackson

601
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,679
Speaker 2: on the outside Rainer, So I just don't think at

602
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 2: this point Georgia State. I get they're back at home,

603
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 2: but they shouldn't really be favored against anybody right now,

604
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 2: and it's probably why they're ower and three against the

605
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: spread as a favorite. So give me Arkansas State. I

606
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: think they're a team that just profiles as feed up

607
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,040
Speaker 2: on bad teams to get blown out by good teams.

608
00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 2: They're playing a bad team. I don't know why there's

609
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,959
Speaker 2: the dog here. Give me the Red Wolves.

610
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 3: Butch better have my money.

611
00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: I had Arkansas State and my G five five five.

612
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: I made it twenty five percent into the write up

613
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: and then I just hit the delete button because Butch

614
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: killed my vibe last week and I needed a little

615
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 1: break I needed.

616
00:28:57,160 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 2: As I was writing, I was like, he probably has this,

617
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 2: and just like that, I took a break from Trent

618
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 2: Dilfer last week.

619
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: I'm back to trentilfor this week, but on a different angle.

620
00:29:07,880 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: UAB Memphis over sixty two and a half. I'm confused

621
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: by this total. To be honest, Memphis AAC games have

622
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: averaged sixty eight total points, but you had to take

623
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: into account that includes a stinker from USF in Bryce

624
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: Archie's first start, where Memphis won twenty one to three.

625
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: In the other five conference games, the total points scored

626
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: average seventy seven. I think that's a lot closer to

627
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: the games that they want to play, certainly a game

628
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 1: that they want to play here against a UAB team

629
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: that's rounding into, let's call it what it is, North

630
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,920
Speaker 1: Texas esque.

631
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 2: Half team kind of shape.

632
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: Dating back to mid September, UAB has either scored or

633
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,560
Speaker 1: allowed thirty five points at all but one game. So

634
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 1: basically every game that they're in has the potential for

635
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: a shootout. And Jalen Kittna has come in and he's

636
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: been bombing away. And because I've harped so much on Dilfer,

637
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: I've been there for the press conferences, I've watched the film.

638
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: We call Jacob Zino what he is, a check merchant.

639
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: I have to say, I'm a little bit shocked by

640
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: what's going on with their offense because in Kidneys starts.

641
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: By the way, everyone out there can cash there. Let's

642
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: let's put a conservatively plus eight fifty tickets on trendil

643
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 2: for not being the first villain of the week.

644
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,480
Speaker 1: I know that that was a little bit shocking there. Yeah,

645
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 1: so I mean back to Kidney for a second, forty

646
00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: two attempts per game. But here's the difference. Their passing

647
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: strategy has changed with him as the starting quarterback. No

648
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: more checkdown merchant. He's He's still hitting some short passes,

649
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,719
Speaker 1: no doubt, but he is a healthy at least by

650
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: comparison to Zino. Yards per attempt average and a dot

651
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: last two games is a dot is well north of

652
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,000
Speaker 1: nine yards, which basically, you know, puts him well outside

653
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: of what UAB has been doing in the year and

654
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 1: a half of Dilpher's reign. Now he's up against a

655
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: Memphis defense that, let's call what is their subpar their

656
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: pass rushes outside the top one hundred. They live and

657
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: die on turnovers, seventeen takeaways this season for their defense,

658
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: and when they don't get him, they give up huge

659
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: totally yard numbers. UAB has been a giveaway machine, nineteen

660
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: giveaways on the season. If I can get twenty four

661
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: points out of the Blazers, I think this one goes

662
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: way over into the alternate over sphere where it's like,

663
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 1: if you get two to one at north of seventy,

664
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: I think you go ahead and take that because this

665
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: UAB defense is still horrific. There one hundred and twenty

666
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: third in rushing success defense. Hello, Mario Anderson, do you.

667
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,920
Speaker 2: Want to take some all bes Take Marco Anderson over

668
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:29,800
Speaker 2: one hundred yards rushing and he's going to buy a

669
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: two touchdowns. He's going to torch his defense. You can

670
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: find the Bobby.

671
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's bananas that there's any if there are any

672
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 1: numbers on him below one hundred and forty nine rushing

673
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: yards go for multiple touchdowns. Because you look at UAB,

674
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: they are bottom five in line yards and stuff rate

675
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: against the run, and when teams can run, what that

676
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: translates to is successful consistent drives. There are one hundred

677
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 1: and fourteenth in quality drives allowed. Memphis is top thirty.

678
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: When they have the ball offensively, they get next experienced quarterback.

679
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 1: They have a decent offensive line. I think it's a

680
00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: foregone conclusion that they're going to go north of forty here,

681
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: and with his numbers just sending at sixty two and

682
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: a half, I just think that's way too low. So

683
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 1: I'm going to go ahead at the over here in

684
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: what should be an AAC shootout. All right, we're going

685
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: to finish up with the money line underdog parlay here

686
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: in week twelve.

687
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: Where is mine? Oh? Where is mine? Oh?

688
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: I'm going to go first in this spot because I'm

689
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: going to mention a team that you you have the

690
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 1: little pennant. It was go Pokes, Go Laradie, Laramie, everything

691
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 1: Wyoming early in the season. Craig Bowl's gone. It's fine.

692
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: It was a disaster there for a bit, but you

693
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: know what, you took your medicine. You owned up to it,

694
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: and now things are changing because the Pokes got Whaley.

695
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: Harrison Whaley at running back in that backfield. He plays

696
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: one game against New Mexico twenty seven, carries one hundred

697
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 1: and seventy yards a touchdown. They score forty nine points

698
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: in that win. Oh and by the way, with running

699
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: the ball effectively. Really for the first time all season,

700
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: Kateen Anderson, a freshman, comes out of nowhere and shreds

701
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: the Lobo for Lobos for three hundred and forty two yards,

702
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: three passing touchdowns, and a rushing score. Colorado State, I

703
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:15,280
Speaker 1: don't want to say what I want to say about them,

704
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: so I'm going to try to put some euphemisms out

705
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: there and try to put on the kid gloves a

706
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: little bit. Yes, they control their own destiny in the

707
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: Mountain West Conference. They are undefeated. They can play their

708
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: way into a matchup with Boise. But now they got

709
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: some pressure on their shoulders because it's there. And when

710
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: you look into the resume, they do not look like

711
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: a six and three team that's undefeated in conference. By

712
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: let's just call it what it is. Since the loss

713
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: of Tory Horden, the passing game is underwhelmed. Offensively, overall,

714
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: they're ninety fourth and success rate one hundred and ninth

715
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 1: inexplosiveness one hundred and thirteenth in havoc allowed. These numbers

716
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,960
Speaker 1: do not compute until you get to their victory diet.

717
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 1: Let me go through what's been on the menu for them.

718
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: Wins over Northern Colorado, UTEP, Air Force, New Mexico, Nevada,

719
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, this schedule. Where was this schedule? When I

720
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: went over on their win total a couple of years ago,

721
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: this would have been a nice, you know, free squares

722
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: all over the schedule. They're only going to win a

723
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: home win over San Jose State by seven. They still

724
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 1: gave up nearly four hundred and fifty total yards in

725
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 1: that game to the Spartans. Very lucky in terms of

726
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,440
Speaker 1: fumble recoveries this year. They're tied for tenth among G

727
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: five teams and falling on the football. Is this team

728
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 1: a luckbox? I won't use the F word that we

729
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,040
Speaker 1: throw around there, not that one you're thinking of the

730
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:29,880
Speaker 1: other one. Is this team a luckbox? I mean I

731
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: like their coaching staff, I like what they've been trying

732
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,320
Speaker 1: to do. But once they lost Tory Horden, I downgraded

733
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: them in my power rankings and also just in my

734
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 1: head in terms of what I'm picturing. Oh, I got

735
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 1: to win the game. They're down ten in the fourth quarter.

736
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:44,760
Speaker 1: Do they have the bullets to do it without Tory Horden?

737
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 1: I assumed no.

738
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 2: But they just keep winning.

739
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: And I think they're overvalued in the market, and Wyoming

740
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,839
Speaker 1: has a new look offensively. If I can get them

741
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: at north of three to one in this game, I'm

742
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: punching the ticket on the money line.

743
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously, I don't hate it at all. I've been

744
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 2: high on Wyoming year stupidly, Evan Smoda, not Josh Allen,

745
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 2: but you mentioned Waley's return, which I liked. Sam Scott,

746
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 2: their other running back are kind of filled in. He

747
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 2: actually missed last game. He's expected back. Jalen Sergent's going

748
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:15,279
Speaker 2: to play. They announced he left the game hurt last

749
00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 2: week after he put up like one hundred and fifty

750
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 2: yards and then he left hurt. He's going to play.

751
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,479
Speaker 2: The third receiver, Tyler King, He's coming back. He missed

752
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:24,360
Speaker 2: last week, so I only should be at full strength.

753
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 2: So I don't hate it one bit. This has already

754
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: been a bit of a weird podcast. We started with

755
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 2: me complimenting Tim back you were saying nice things about

756
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 2: the UAB offense. So when I get crazy, give me

757
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 2: FAU plus one twenty again.

758
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 1: This is really the upside down from Stranger Things. This

759
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: is this crossover episode.

760
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, David put the Stranger Things sound just kind of

761
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 2: in the background for the entire episode. We started as

762
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:53,439
Speaker 2: Temple's terrific. They are a bottom seven or eight team

763
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,759
Speaker 2: in the country. You can argue bottom five, you could

764
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,120
Speaker 2: argue ten. Whatever. You never want to see somebody get hurt.

765
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 2: We Cam Fancher broke his collar bone against East Carolina.

766
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 2: He's out for the season. Cason Wiseman comes in. He

767
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 2: is a richer freshman. He came in and through for

768
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: He went twenty of thirty five passing through a pair

769
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 2: of touchdowns. He also had forty one yards rushing. I

770
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 2: thought he looked much better than Bancher has all season.

771
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 2: He costs me my underbat in that game, so he

772
00:36:23,160 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: owes me here, and you know, we know the FAU

773
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 2: offense hasn't been good all season, But like I said,

774
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:32,359
Speaker 2: I actually think Wiseman might be a step up. And

775
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: the defense. I never really thought it's been completely bottom

776
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 2: of the barrel. But they also did just fire a

777
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,839
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator and run game coordinator. Kind of that Tom

778
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 2: Herman save his job type move. But I expect to

779
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 2: see some more urgency in this game. I think, you know,

780
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 2: anytime you start firing assistance, he kind of lights a

781
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,879
Speaker 2: fire under everyone, staff, the players, everyone kind of perks

782
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 2: up a bit. So they've been pretty decent against the

783
00:36:57,000 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 2: pass this year, and that's going to help against the

784
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: Temple offense that literally cannot run the ball at all.

785
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,240
Speaker 2: Kasier Brown is a solid cornerback. He's good in coverage.

786
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,200
Speaker 2: Philip Dunham is a really has really good ball skills

787
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 2: at safety. He's an Indiana transfer, and I think the

788
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 2: two of them should be able to work together to

789
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 2: slow down Dante Wright if he plays, because Wright has

790
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: missed the last two games with an injury, and he's

791
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 2: a guy where you know, Temple's terrible, he's a pretty

792
00:37:24,719 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 2: talented kid. I don't know what his options might be

793
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,959
Speaker 2: in the portal. Does he shut it down, because without

794
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,720
Speaker 2: him this offense is nothing. So even if he plays,

795
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: like I said, I still kind of just think Fau

796
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:38,720
Speaker 2: is a better team, as down as they am on Fau.

797
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 2: If he doesn't, I don't know how Temple moves the ball.

798
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:43,040
Speaker 2: We haven't. They haven't moved the ball in the last

799
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 2: two weeks. So we've talked a lot of shit on

800
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 2: the owls here, But to give me Fau plus one

801
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 2: twenty against the other owls of Temple, Yeah, I feel like.

802
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: We need kind of a round robin Ol Bowl series.

803
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 1: I guess for all these owl teams that are not

804
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: gonna make it, let's I mean, Rice is doing their

805
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:09,240
Speaker 1: best to mount some wins late this the brow.

806
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: How many lips does it take to get to the toots.

807
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 2: Yer old center of a toy pop?

808
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 1: Let's find oute one, three three?

809
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 3: How many licks does it take to get to the

810
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,840
Speaker 3: two zero old center of a totsy pot?

811
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 2: The world may never know.

812
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: That's it for us here at the Group of five

813
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: deep dive on Mike Calibery's He's Mike Ianello reminder. On

00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: trash all the way up to the Marquee matchups, and

818
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 1: that leads into our Saturday Show Live with Brett McCarthy, Stuck,

819

00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: for us?

821
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,520
Speaker 2: You ever get a little insulted that half of Stocky's

822
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 2: trash is just picks we give out as like our

823
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: best sets. Like, hey, Stucky, our culture is not your costume, okay, buddy,

824
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 2: Like this is where, this is, where we live, is

825
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,399
Speaker 2: our These are our shiny diamonds over here.

826
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm fine with it because the fact

827
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: of the matter is the G five keeps me employed.

828
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: I get to talk about this for a living. If

829
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: he wants to call it trash or people want to

830
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: make fun of maction or small time college basketball when

831
00:39:18,160 --> 00:39:20,759
Speaker 1: I'm covering it in January, that's fine. I love it.

832
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it every single week. It is fun

833
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: on the Saturday Show that I get to talk about

834
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: the Marquee matchups. If you look at my performance on

835
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,160
Speaker 1: the Live show when it comes to the market matchups,

836
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,719
Speaker 1: I've been killing it the entire season. I think it's

837
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: like all of the drudgery that we have to go

838
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 1: through some really bad football, and I'm like, I get

839
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,439
Speaker 1: to just take a Jalen Milroe rushing over this guy

840
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,479
Speaker 1: is like an all i've he would be. He would

841
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: have five thousand toll yards offense in the Mountain West.

842
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:44,759
Speaker 1: This is incredible.

843
00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 2: I had a radio hit on Saturday and I was

844
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 2: kind of blind to it, and I come in with

845
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 2: notes prepared. I had all my notes on Tulane and

846
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: James Madison as like my favorite bats. And they're like, so,

847
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:56,839
Speaker 2: who do you got in a big Alabama LSU game?

848
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 2: And I was like, can I interest you in Alanza Barnett.

849
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: No.

850
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:02,240
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't know. I don't really addiction

851
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: to these teams as I don't have many notes prepared.

852
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,120
Speaker 1: So if you are interested in the people that do

853
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: have notes prepared for those marquee games, as I mentioned

854
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,640
