1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: And welcome in Lake Kick is Live.

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 2: It is Sunday night, November one, the Year of our

3
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 2: Laura twenty twenty.

4
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:06,720
Speaker 1: I know I say it a lot.

5
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 2: I know we may beat up this phrase, but this

6
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 2: is probably the most jam packed show we've had to date.

7
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: And Colin, we've been doing the show at twenty four

8
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: seven since March. Don't check me on that, please. We're

9
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:18,959
Speaker 2: jam packed. I don't know how we get it in

10
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: an under an hour. I'm serious, I don't know how

11
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 2: we do it. And I got to drive home tonight,

12
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: so it would be it would behoove me greatly to

13
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 2: be able to do that. Let me turn the volume

14
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 2: down here, but nevertheless, we're jam packed. So we had

15
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: another winning week on the Ramannudle Express. We're just chugging

16
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 2: right along at just north of sixty percent. I've got

17
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 2: full reaction to one, two, three, four, four, six, ten

18
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: games tonight. Now we're not doing deep dives on every

19
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 2: one of them, but we've got reaction to at least

20
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 2: ten games plus. Sometimes we do this when we got

21
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: a really big week coming up. I'm gonna go ahead

22
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: and give you an early look at Georgia, Florida, and

23
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you an early look at Clemson Notre Dame.

24
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 2: Not necessarily a full game breakdown, but just some early

25
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: thoughts that we have on those games. Remember, if you

26
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: haven't all already, I cannot stress this in strong enough terms.

27
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 2: Subscribe to the channel. It's free, doesn't cost you a thing.

28
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: Go find the Late Kick podcast and subscribe. There is

29
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: what leave us a five star review while you do it.

30
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 2: And also, and this is very important, follow me on

31
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: Twitter yesterday. For example, I had some of you get

32
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 2: in touch with me after that Texas A and M

33
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 2: game that I was ecstatic about because our best bet

34
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 2: one again. And some of you said, man, that late

35
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: touchdown by Arkansas that really cost us? And I said,

36
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? It didn't at all. We

37
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: had Texas A and M minus ten. You told me, well,

38
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: I actually waited until the Thursday show and I got

39
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: them at fourteen.

40
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: Can't do that. Got to get the numbers when we

41
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: give them out.

42
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: That's why we give the early best bet out because

43
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: we think the number is gonna move. Having said that,

44
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 2: follow me on Twitter for that at Late Kick, Josh,

45
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: I've already given out today's early best bet. Now you

46
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 2: don't have to wait much longer, like thirty or forty

47
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: five minutes. I'm going to give it out on the show,

48
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: but just make sure you're following me there. Also, if

49
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: you're interested in this field, I had thirteen consultations with

50
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: you guys zoom consultations last week.

51
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 1: It's one on one.

52
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: So if you want a part of that, if you

53
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: want some advice and feedback, if you want me to

54
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: look at your work, if you want to answer questions

55
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: about what it's like in this field, which path you

56
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: should go? Hit me up Josh Pait seven zero six

57
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 2: at gmail dot com, or you can DM me on

58
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 2: Twitter at late kick Josh. So let's dive in, because

59
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: we got so much to get to. Let's start in

60
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: the big ten Ohio State thirty eight, Penn State twenty five.

61
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: Padlockstat alert, We had one in this game. The padlock

62
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: stat is the only stat you would have needed to

63
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,279
Speaker 2: know before the game to know exactly.

64
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: How the game is going to go.

65
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: In other words, and some of you have started asking

66
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: me in my Twitter dms, hey is this a padlock stat?

67
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: Is that a padlock stat? Well, one of you did

68
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: submit this one. I was already going to go with it,

69
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 2: but you were dead on the money. When you have

70
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: a rushing yards disparity of two eight to forty four,

71
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 2: typically you got yourself a padlock stat there. So the

72
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: stat line you could even go Justin Field's stat line

73
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: is sort of a quasi secondary padlock stat because he

74
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 2: was twenty eight of thirty four for three hundred and

75
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: eighteen yards and four touchdowns at the half. I really

76
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: thought they had it in control, and I thought it

77
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: was over for all intents and purposes.

78
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: There's no iv in there. They were up twenty one

79
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: to six.

80
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: It was a two eighty to seventy five total yards discrepancy.

81
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 2: So Justin Fields, you remember last week, and this is

82
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: kind of what we were talking about coming into this game.

83
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: They were coming out of that Nebraska game, and if

84
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: you really wanted to pick them apart, you could look

85
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: at it and say, oh, I mean they ran up

86
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 2: the score. Yes, Brian Day had to apologize in the postgame,

87
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,919
Speaker 2: but Justin Fields was really their most effective runner when

88
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: they needed yards on the ground, when they needed to convert.

89
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 2: It was kind of Justin Fields. And it's not that

90
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: you don't like to see that. You just worry is

91
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: too much of the offensive load is a disproportionate part

92
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: of our offensive load being put on his shoulders more

93
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: than already is going to be put on a superstar quarterback.

94
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: Well, this week, you.

95
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: Focused all week long leading up on Sermon and Tigue

96
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: and like, do you have the horses at running back?

97
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: Well, they had a pretty good night yesterday.

98
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 2: That offensive line, make no mistake about it, played out

99
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: of their minds Ohio State's offensive line.

100
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: You're not going to mention a bunch of them by name.

101
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: I'm gonna mention, you know, Master Tigue twenty three runs

102
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: for one hundred and ten yards. That's four point eight

103
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: per clip. Trey Sermon thirteen for fifty six, that's four

104
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: point three per clip.

105
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: But in total, their running game yesterday went over two

106
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: hundred yards.

107
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 2: I think it was forty five for two oh eight,

108
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: so that's about four point six yards per carry. That's

109
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: noticeably better than the effort that they put out the

110
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: week before. They just controlled the game. It's not that

111
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: they ran the score up. It's thirty eight twenty five

112
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 2: you see there. That's kind of right in line with

113
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: what the overall point spread was, depending on where you

114
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 2: looked at it. At what point during the week. But

115
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: you look at this box score and it tells the story.

116
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: Five twenty six to three, twenty five total yards, time

117
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 2: of possession thirty seven to twenty three. Ohio State ran

118
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 2: seventy nine plays Penn State fifty seven, and Ohio State

119
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 2: was ten of eighteen.

120
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 1: On third down.

121
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: So you feel good if you're on Ohio State fan,

122
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: because now you look at the rest of your schedule.

123
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: You got Rutgers at Maryland, Indiana at Illinois, at Michigan State,

124
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: and Michigan.

125
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: I heard Herbstreet say it last night. I'll reiterate it.

126
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 2: I have no clue short of COVID, I have and

127
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: no clue what really trips them up into Big ten.

128
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: They're above that line.

129
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 2: We talk about that threshold where you don't necessarily have

130
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: to worry about these crazy upsets like Michigan suffered yesterday.

131
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about the Wolverines a little bit

132
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: later on, and so outside of COVID, I think they're

133
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: pretty good. We'll talk about them again in just a second.

134
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: But how should you feel if you're a Penn State fan?

135
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: Because I actually had someone ask me this last night,

136
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 2: how should I feel? I was very excited coming into

137
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: the season. Then we have the debacle happen against Indiana.

138
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 2: But that's okay because we can salvage everything and we

139
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: can send a statement to the recruiting world, to the

140
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: college football world, to our fan base, to potential quarterbacks

141
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: in the transfer portal out there, that we have arrived. Well,

142
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 2: we would have had to have beaten Ohio State to

143
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: do that.

144
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: That didn't happen. You needed certain things to happen.

145
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 2: You needed certain special teams plays to go your way,

146
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: turnovers needed to go your way up the critical mass

147
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 2: of third downs both sides needed to go your way.

148
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: Those things didn't happen.

149
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: Plus Ohio State got the fast start and that was

150
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: pretty much ballgame. But they continue they being Penn State,

151
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: they continue to be one of, if not the very

152
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 2: toughest challenges for Ohio State in the conference. And I

153
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: know no one really wants to hear that, but I'm

154
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: not coaching the team and I'm not a fan of

155
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: the team, so it means something to me, Like I

156
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: think there are incremental moral victories that you can take

157
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: be cause you're trying to build a program. There are

158
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,359
Speaker 2: incremental signs even in losses or several losses in this

159
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,720
Speaker 2: case that could lead you to believe you got a

160
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: little bit of a firmer grasp on where you are.

161
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 2: Someone asked me about James Franklin, and someone asked me

162
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 2: the context was, I don't know if this is the

163
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 2: guy to get us over hump. I don't know if

164
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 2: this is the guy to win a national championship twofold

165
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: reaction number one. There is a big gap, I mean

166
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 2: a really big gap between can win a national title

167
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 2: and we need to get rid of. There's a very

168
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 2: big gap there. So I don't know if he can

169
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: win a national title. I'll give you my thought in

170
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 2: a second to suggest I'm laughing at it because it's

171
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: not really even a serious suggestion to be talking about.

172
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: Oh man, wait, maybe we need to think about the

173
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 2: future of this program of that James Franklin. No, he's

174
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 2: got them in a position where one thing is screaming

175
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: at you. It's so evident. It was plain his day

176
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: last night. I mean, they've got justin Fields versus Sean Clifford.

177
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: I know they're not on the field at the same time,

178
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: but really, when it comes down to it, that's who

179
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: you're trying to trade points against. And this is who

180
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: you're trying to do it with. Here's what is screaming

181
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: at you. Penn State's a quarterback away, That's what's screaming

182
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: at you. They've got some wide receiver talent coming on.

183
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 2: They've got more in the pipeline. Hopefully, They've got good

184
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: running back talent. Even with the two injuries. They got

185
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: good defensive talent. They are a team that if I

186
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 2: were to take the grab claw machine that we talk

187
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: about sometimes, and I put the quarter in, and I

188
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: grab the quarterback and I drop him in Happy Valley,

189
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 2: whether on the recruiting trail or via transfer, they are

190
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 2: a legitimate contender.

191
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: That's how close they are.

192
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: Thirteen point loss to Ohio State, that's essentially what that is.

193
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: That's and look at how close they've played them, That's

194
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 2: essentially what that is. But as for Ohio State shifting

195
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: back to them, the hallmark of today's true bona fide

196
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: national championship contending teams, We've seen this.

197
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: It started to started to evolve.

198
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 2: This didn't used to necessarily be the blueprint it is

199
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: now used to be that you said you got to

200
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: have a certain level of defense, Well now you probably

201
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: have to have a good combo of wide receivers and

202
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 2: a superstar quarterback. That's probably what you have to have. Well,

203
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: they've got them, you know, justin fields. But you got

204
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson there and you got Chris Olave. They were

205
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: a combined eighteen catches for two hundred and thirty one

206
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: yards last night on twenty two targets. So that's getting

207
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: it done. And those are two guys that if you

208
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: keep them healthy. You know, we're looking at Alabama for example,

209
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 2: we're going to talk about the tide later. You had

210
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: Jalen Waddle and Devonte Smith. Well then Waddle goes down.

211
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: So Smith's still there, and he's a superstar who's stepping

212
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,839
Speaker 2: in that place, and he's either caliber or close enough

213
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 2: to the caliber of Jalen Waddle. But that secondary, I mean,

214
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,959
Speaker 2: if you want to pick a part Ohio State. Still,

215
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: it was a very good win last night. Secondary, still

216
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 2: probably some questions. They're young, I mean, so it's natural

217
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: to expect week over week incremental improvement. Don't necessarily know

218
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: where they'll be tested to the degree where down the

219
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: road a few weeks we know what kind of improvement

220
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: you've had there.

221
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: But I mean Ohio State's a clear Tier one.

222
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 2: So, like I said, outside of some off the field issues,

223
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 2: I don't know necessarily who trips them up. But Penn

224
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 2: State's an interesting team to watch moving forward because that's

225
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: a really good team. I've got them power rated in

226
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: my top ten. They're an zero to two team. I've

227
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: got them power rated in my top ten. They had

228
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: a postgame win expectancy rate of I think ninety six

229
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: percent last week in that Indiana game. Doesn't mean anything

230
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: for the game, but in a predictability model moving forward,

231
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 2: it just they're not a bad team. They had Ohio

232
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 2: State in one of the first two games and they

233
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: lost a game that ninety six times out of one

234
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: hundred they probably win.

235
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 1: So doesn't mean anything to me. Really.

236
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: It means everything to the standings, but it doesn't really

237
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 2: mean anything to me as it relates to them moving forward,

238
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 2: as long as they don't tap out, which I don't

239
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 2: think they'll do. But speaking of tapping out, and I

240
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,119
Speaker 2: don't plan these. If I tried to plan these transitions

241
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: that never work out. So I didn't plan this one,

242
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 2: but boy it works tap out and LSU defense, That's

243
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: exactly what you saw yesterday Auburn forty eight forty eight Friends,

244
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 2: LSU eleven. Do you remember last week when we were

245
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 2: leading up to this game and I kept talking about

246
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: the entire the philosophy of the Auburn buying time and

247
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: all these beneficial calls that have gone their way from

248
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: the SEC officials. Ridiculous though they may be. I kept saying,

249
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 2: all right, but we can't change those. All we can

250
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: do is look from now forward, and from now forward

251
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 2: what could be happening is bad calls, fortuitous bounces for Auburn,

252
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: whatever they are, they're buying them time because Auburn has

253
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: not been a good football team. But yet they also

254
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 2: weren't one in four and so they were sitting there

255
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: kind of hovering, and they were still you had some

256
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 2: goals in front of them. And the entire reason that

257
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 2: you keep that in mind is because Auburn is a

258
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: team that eventually pops. So they popped yesterday. There you

259
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 2: see it, a total body bag special. There was a

260
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,680
Speaker 2: padlock stat in this one. We thought it would be

261
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: back and forth to to one run to pass ratio

262
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: roughly for both teams, and we thought the better run

263
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 2: game was gonna win. Boy was that answered emphatically. Auburn

264
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: two hundred and six to thirty two. That's the degree

265
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 2: with which they outgained LSU on the ground. Like I said,

266
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: we expected a two to one run the pass ratio,

267
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 2: it kind of got flipped on its head once you

268
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 2: have Auburn's score. I think they scored in like six

269
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: straight possessions. And here's what really sort of bent me

270
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 2: out of shape. I'm over here across the walkway in

271
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 2: our main office yesterday and I feel so good, as

272
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: do you if you rode the Roma Noodle Express. We

273
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 2: had under sixty five and a half, and the entire

274
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 2: premise on which that pick was built, our model didn't

275
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: suggest it. That was a pure instinct play, And I

276
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 2: thought that it just made a lot of sense because

277
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: there have been some overinflated finals for these teams already

278
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: this year. You know, the Mississippi State game is still

279
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 2: baked in the LSU. The Missouri game is still baked

280
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: into LSU. Well, those were games where number one, you

281
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 2: had Miles Brennan at quarterback for LSU.

282
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: Number two, folks are throwing the ball all over the yard.

283
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 2: This game was going to be run centric, and so

284
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 2: run is exactly what the clock was going to do.

285
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: That's how it started. This game was scoreless. Final scores

286
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 2: forty eight to eleven. It was scoreless at the end

287
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: of the first quarter. I almost strained my back. I

288
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: was walking around with my chest poked out so proudly

289
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: at how we had identified this game.

290
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: And then Auburn boom boom boom boom, boom, boom boom.

291
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 2: They go into the half score and they come out

292
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 2: of the half scoring defensive scores, and all of a

293
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 2: sudden it got out of whack. Fortunately, things regained a

294
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 2: sense of control and we did hit our under but

295
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: I thought we were in trouble there for a little while.

296
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: Auburn led twenty one to three at the half. It

297
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: was over at the half. I wrote this down. I said,

298
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 2: this game's over right now. Auburn led twenty one to three.

299
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 2: They had a six point two to one point nine

300
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 2: yards per carry advantage. And you may think to yourself, oh,

301
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 2: it'll get better. No, LSU's final yards per carry statistics

302
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: were even worse than that. I got it written down somewhere.

303
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 2: I'll find it later. But here's what's most encouraging, because

304
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: here's what you got to ask yourself. Now about Auburn.

305
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 2: You've seen teams like Mississippi State beat LSU and it's

306
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 2: been a total island into the rest of their season.

307
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: Didn't mean anything. Well, what does this win mean for

308
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 2: Auburn moving forward?

309
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 1: Not yesterday? Yesterday?

310
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: It meant everything moving forward. Can you take something from this?

311
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: Can you glean something from this that tells you or

312
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: an Auburn just turned a corner yesterday? Maybe maybe not,

313
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 2: But I will tell you what I noticed. What I

314
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: noticed is defensively, I thought, well, clearly, they played the

315
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 2: best that they've played all year.

316
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: They had four sacks.

317
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 2: Defensive line I thought was as healthy as they've been

318
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 2: all year, four sacks, seven tackles for loss, and they

319
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 2: ended up giving up here's the number, one point two

320
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 2: yards per carry to LSU. LSU thirty two yards rushing

321
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 2: in the game. So they finally go off. Bownicks had

322
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 2: a really good day. Was eighteen to twenty four for

323
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 2: three hundred. He ran at eleven times for eighty one

324
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 2: yards too. He took no sacks Auburn's offensive line, which

325
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 2: was a concern losing Brandon Council. They gave up no sacks,

326
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 2: He threw no interceptions. They had a lot of their

327
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 2: more classic spread to run concepts. LSU very poor fitting gaps.

328
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 2: I think they admitted as much after the game. Auburn

329
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: scored forty eight points on six possessions. There was a

330
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: defensive score mixed in there. So how much stock do.

331
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: We put in it?

332
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: I think I'm putting a little more stock in this

333
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 2: for Auburn than I did for Mississippi State. However, I'm

334
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:23,239
Speaker 2: also not coordinating them as a presumptive challenger to Alabama

335
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 2: in the West.

336
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: But LSU's just a mess right now.

337
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: And I want to tell you yesterday, for those of

338
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 2: you who follow recruiting, there was a big time recruiting

339
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: win that LSU had over Alabama. Saye Ryan, five star

340
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 2: safety from Louisiana, was thought to be an LSU lot.

341
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 1: For a while.

342
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: Alabama made it a battle seemingly out of nowhere. Late

343
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: LSU kept him home, well at least verbally. I mean,

344
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 2: anything can happen, but he's verbally committed to LSU. Now,

345
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you, and I'm not alone in

346
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: thinking this, I think that recruitment meant so much to

347
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 2: LSU that staff was legitimately distracted by it during the week.

348
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: I don't think they were prepared to play yesterday, and

349
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: I think it showed on the field. But I'm telling you,

350
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: and again I'm not alone in thinking this. I think

351
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 2: that recruitment and the symbolism of not letting Alabama come

352
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: into their state and beating them for a kid, they

353
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 2: put so much emphasis in it and pressure on themselves

354
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: to make sure it didn't happen. I thought it actually

355
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 2: affected their preparation for this game. Can't prove that, but

356
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 2: I think it happened. Quarterback was irrelevant here. Their offensive

357
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 2: line didn't give them a chance to win. Defense non

358
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 2: existent didn't give them a chance to win. No running

359
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: back in this game for LSU had a carry of

360
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 2: more than eight yards. And this is coming off a

361
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 2: game that gets South Carolina, where their running game arrived allegedly.

362
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: So I mean LSU.

363
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 2: They have now given up defensively forty plus points to

364
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: Mississippi State. It was a complete and total joke offensively

365
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 2: right now, Missouri, who couldn't do anything against Florida yesterday

366
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,880
Speaker 2: and Auburn forty plus points defensively, LSU's defense is given

367
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: up to them now two and three. The LSU Tigers.

368
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: They've got Bama left. There will be no punches pulled

369
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: in that game. Friends, it will We'll get to it.

370
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: That's two weeks away. They have to go to Florida,

371
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 2: they got to go to A and M. They got

372
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: to go to Arkansas and they got Old miss It's not.

373
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: A good situation behind the scenes at LSU. Let's move on.

374
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: Georgia beat Kentucky fourteen to three. So that's the good news.

375
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 2: We want to be positive here. Georgia wins the game,

376
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: and they win it convincingly, you know, I mean, I

377
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: guess you could look at it and say game was

378
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 2: never in doubt. You can also have a couple of

379
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: different takeaways from here, and I wrote two of them

380
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: down because I heard it seemed like from one hundred

381
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 2: of you yesterday. So some of you, you know what,

382
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 2: Let me pause, let me tell you what we were thinking.

383
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: Then I'll talk about what some of you thought when

384
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: we were briefly looking at this game. We didn't take

385
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:49,840
Speaker 2: a ton of time to predict it. But when we

386
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: were briefly looking at this game, I thought, coming out

387
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: of the bye, we were going to learn a lot

388
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: about what the rest of the season. Excuse me will

389
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 2: look like for Georgia again, keep in mind, the last

390
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,280
Speaker 2: time we saw them was against Alabama.

391
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: What happened was they played good defense, they.

392
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: Led at the half, but then they had no bullets

393
00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 2: remaining in the chamber when Alabama.

394
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: Just really got to firing. And so that was the impression.

395
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,239
Speaker 2: That was the last observation Kirby Smart had of his

396
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: team as they go into the buy.

397
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 1: So here's what I'm thinking. Personally.

398
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: What I'm thinking is they've got to know coming out

399
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 2: of this bye week, whatever product they're going to put forward,

400
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 2: knowing they got Florida coming up the next week, which

401
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 2: is probably going to decide the SEC East, they have

402
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 2: got to find a better way to manufacture a passing game.

403
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 2: Knowing that they can lean on the run game, knowing

404
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: they can lean on defense, even if it's Sets and

405
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: Bennett quarterback, They're going to have to find something more

406
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: than what they have. Okay, but the other way you

407
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 2: could go is you could just accept your limitations and

408
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,400
Speaker 2: settle for suffocating inferior teams. That's exactly what they did.

409
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: They settled for suffocating an inferior team. I don't blame

410
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 2: a lot of Georgia fans who were very aggravated in

411
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: my inbox yesterday because I think he got the answer

412
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: about which team's gonna be the rest of the way,

413
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 2: and it's gonna be good enough to suffocate Kentucky.

414
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: It's good enough to do what you did to Auburn,

415
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: do what you did to Tennessee.

416
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: You're good enough to do that. You got Florida Saturday.

417
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about that game later. I mean, if

418
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 2: the best case were to work itself out, you get

419
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:18,399
Speaker 2: to face Alabama again.

420
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: And fans are.

421
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 2: Profoundly disappointed at the offensive product they saw yesterday, and

422
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 2: they're not mad. I want to stress this, like I

423
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 2: talk to a lot of you guys Georgia fans for

424
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: the outside deservers there. They're not mad at what Stetson

425
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 2: Bennett's limitations are. Let me be very clear. They're not

426
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: mad at Stetson Bennett. That kid's playing his heart out,

427
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 2: He's doing everything he can do. They're not mad at

428
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 2: Stetson Bennett. They're mad that in year five under Kirby,

429
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 2: smart stats and Bennett's the best option they have at

430
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: quarterback on their roster. And you know what makes it

431
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 2: even more infuriating when their game wraps up, and they

432
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 2: go grab lunch, and then they come back in time

433
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 2: for the seven thirty kick and they watch Justin Fields.

434
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:57,880
Speaker 1: Playing for Ohio State.

435
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: I laugh only because I'm not of this, so I

436
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: can afford to just stand over here. But I know,

437
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 2: I know, trust me, I get exactly what you guys

438
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:07,360
Speaker 2: are feeling.

439
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: So this is not worst case.

440
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 2: I could easily Devil's advocate in the shoes of Kirby

441
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,400
Speaker 2: Smart for you right now. Here's what I would say.

442
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 2: What I would say is we can complain about that

443
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: all we want to. Guys, I'm not going to use

444
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 2: the Bainbridge accent, but we can complain about this all

445
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 2: we want to. But the bottom line is I can

446
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 2: only go to war with the guys I have in

447
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 2: the locker room. And if you think we messed up

448
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: quarterback evaluations, whatever, but I got a team to coach.

449
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: Whether you like him or not, Stetson Bennett gives us

450
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: the best chance to win right now.

451
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: If we play low margin for ara ball and we

452
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,119
Speaker 2: don't turn it over, then we can win games. And

453
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: you may think to yourself, off fourteen to three against Kentucky,

454
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 2: that sucks. This is worst case. No it's not worst case.

455
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: Worst case would be Michigan. You see what happened to

456
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 2: them yesterday. They went into a game against a rival

457
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: no less favored by over three touchdowns, and because they

458
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 2: didn't have those suffocating aspects of their defense, they made

459
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 2: themselves vulnerable and they turned the ball over, got out

460
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 2: of whack, and they lost. So imagine driving home yesterday

461
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: having lost to Kentucky. That's worst case. We can figure

462
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:08,439
Speaker 2: out the future in the future. Yesterday, I just had

463
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 2: to figure out how to win a game, all right,

464
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: That's what I would say if I were Kirby Smart.

465
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 2: Injuries are the real story here. Pickens and Kenny McIntosh

466
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 2: didn't even travel with the team yesterday. I don't know

467
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 2: how many of you guys watched this. It was an

468
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: early kickoff. It wasn't exactly on everyone's radar. But you

469
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 2: know Monty Rice, who plays linebacker for him, he played

470
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 2: far less than one hundred percent. Like I said, Pickens

471
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: didn't travel, McIntosh didn't travel. Jordan Davis got hurt yesterday.

472
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 2: Off the top of my head, Rochester got hurt. Lewis

473
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 2: seen got hurt, Ben Cleveland. I think I saw Jake

474
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 2: Rose say he's gonna be okay, but he got hurt.

475
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 1: Who else kwy Walker got hurt.

476
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 2: They've got the biggest game remaining on their schedule in

477
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: six days. Georgia's as banged up, ironically coming out of

478
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,880
Speaker 2: a bye week. There's banged up as they've been all year.

479
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,479
Speaker 2: We're going to talk about them more towards the end

480
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 2: of the show. But there were other things that happened

481
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 2: in the SEC Yesterday Alabama painted the walls with Mississippi

482
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 2: State's blood forty one to nothing. Mississippi State. Let me

483
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: give you a little stat here. They scored forty four

484
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 2: in Week one against LSU. You remember that?

485
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: Are you aware?

486
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,800
Speaker 2: They scored thirty points since then? So they scored more

487
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 2: against LSU than they have the remainder of the season.

488
00:21:16,280 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: Bo Polini, feel free to add it to your resume, brother,

489
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: Bo Polini, By the way I ran the numbers today,

490
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 2: is currently making forty four thousand dollars a week to

491
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: be the defensive coordinator at LSU, And if you want

492
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: to get rid of him, it's going to cost more

493
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 2: than that. So two point three million a year to

494
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,159
Speaker 2: give up more to Mike Leach than he scored in

495
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: the rest of like half a season. As you watched

496
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 2: this last night, what were your thoughts. I'll tell you

497
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: what I was thinking. This was as thorough a dismantling

498
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 2: as you will ever see outside of a Vanderbilt game

499
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 2: in conference play. The halftime stats in this contest, if

500
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 2: you want to call it that, we're wild.

501
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 1: Listen to this.

502
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 2: This is a real life f SEC game, not f

503
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: SEC game. Alabama a three hundred and thirty seven to

504
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: thirty eight eight yards at vantage. This is at halftime.

505
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: They had an eighteen to one first down advantage halftime,

506
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 2: seven point three to one point seven yards per play

507
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 2: at halftime. DeVante Smith, I don't know what the state

508
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 2: of Mississippi has done to him, but he has made

509
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: a career playing the teams in Mississippi. He had more

510
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 2: receiving yards than Mississippi State had total yards yesterday. It's

511
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: pretty good. It's not bad at all. Alabama's defense. I

512
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 2: don't know exactly how far out on this limb I

513
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 2: want to go. I want to go out and say, hey,

514
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: they've dramatically improved. We also know a couple of other

515
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: things are in play. They've played very limited offenses, so

516
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: they have improved mightily. Over the past two weeks on

517
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: third down they were four of sixteen. They held Tennessee

518
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: to four of sixteen third down conversions last week. They

519
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 2: held State to two of fifteen last night. So it

520
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 2: was really good seeing some of their young guys. Brian Branch,

521
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,120
Speaker 2: we talked about him all year, he got a start yesterday.

522
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 2: They played a lot of seven defensive back. Look Tim Smith,

523
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: I think big number fifty. You saw him get in

524
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 2: a little bit later, and I think more and more

525
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: you'll see those reps from DJ Dale's shift to Tim Smith.

526
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 2: We've waited for him, had a little conditioning issue. They'd

527
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: gotten that a little bit more under control. He got

528
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 2: himself ripped a new one yesterday by Nick Saban late

529
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 2: in the game. That's how you know he's probably going

530
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 2: to play a little bit more. Will Anderson had a

531
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: good game last night, Jimal Burrow. So keep an eye

532
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:25,959
Speaker 2: on those guys. As for Florida and Missouri, Florida won

533
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 2: a game against Missouri yesterday pretty convincingly, forty one to seventeen.

534
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: They took care of business, and I think a lot

535
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 2: of credit has to be given to him because this

536
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 2: could have been one of those spots this is a

537
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 2: spot where they haven't played in three weeks I think

538
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 2: it was, and they did come out of the gate

539
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: a little bit rusty.

540
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: But here's what stood out very quickly. What's stood out very.

541
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: Quickly is Florida's missing some guys defensively. They got one

542
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 2: important one back, but they're missing some guys defensively, and

543
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,080
Speaker 2: yet Missouri still can't do anything. And that was very

544
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: very encouraging because they were missing pieces. Like I said,

545
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 2: still gave up two hundred and forty eight total yards

546
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: to a Missouri team that can score.

547
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: I mean, they've done it before this year.

548
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 2: How about this little rushing statistic because this is pertinent

549
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 2: to the game they have coming up. Missouri had twenty

550
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: three carries for forty total yards yesterday. What made the

551
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 2: difference there? Kyrie Campbell coming back is huge. Campbell coming

552
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 2: back not only gives you a presence up front, but

553
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 2: it also shifts a lot of guys back to their

554
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 2: natural position for Florida in their entire defensive front, their

555
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 2: entire defensive alignment, to.

556
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: Where a lot of guys are where you recruited them

557
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: to play.

558
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 2: Now, a lot of guys when you drew up to

559
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: Florida starting defensive rotation on a pizza box back in

560
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: eight back in August. They're where they're supposed to be. Now,

561
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to talk more about that in a second.

562
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 2: This brawl that happened at halftime, I had a lot

563
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: to say about that, but I mainly talked about it

564
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,640
Speaker 2: last night, which is not the show.

565
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: So I don't know why I just.

566
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: Told you that it was an ugly scene yesterday. Most

567
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 2: of you probably weren't watching it live. How this game

568
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 2: get thrown on SEC alternate, by the way, I don't

569
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: know about that, but I do know it was a

570
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: pretty ugly scene yesterday at halftime. It doesn't matter who

571
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: I think was in the wrong, because the League office

572
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,399
Speaker 2: is ultimately going to determine this. I was very taken

573
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 2: aback by what I saw in totality, I was very

574
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 2: taken aback by what I saw Dan Mullen doing, how

575
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 2: aggressively he went towards midfield. Now I want to stop.

576
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: You're already yelling at me. I hear you yelling at me.

577
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 2: That's how in tune I am with you, guys. So

578
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: I put that out there. I thought it was embarrassing.

579
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 2: That was a terrible look for Florida. So a lot

580
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 2: of you came back and you said, hold on a second,

581
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: if the refs would have thrown a flag on the

582
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: late hit, the fight wouldn't have happened.

583
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: And I said, yeah, you're right, probably right.

584
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: And then you said, well, what's wrong with the team

585
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: wanting to fight for their quarterback? I said nothing. I

586
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: want a team that wants to fight for their quarterback.

587
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 2: That what you're looking at if you're watching on YouTube.

588
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 2: That's not the football version of fighting. That's stupidity, that's

589
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: just ignorance. That's playground stuff. That stuff you can do

590
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 2: when you're not on full scholarship and or making multiple

591
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 2: millions of dollars a year. If you want to be

592
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: emotionally charged like that, that's fine. They've got ninety thousand

593
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 2: seats in the stadium with your name on it.

594
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: When you're screaming at kids the entire year.

595
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: Discipline, discipline, discipline, harness your emotion, control it, keep it

596
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 2: in check. Then you can't do that kind of stuff.

597
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: So I don't know what's going to be handed down

598
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: from the league office. Whatever it is, it's obviously going

599
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 2: to impact the upcoming game. But the other aspect of

600
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: that is, do you think Kyle Trask is the first

601
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: quarterback who's ever taken a hit. I'm not even calling

602
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: it a dirty hit. It was a late hit. I

603
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 2: don't think there was anything malicious about it. I went

604
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 2: I heard about the hit before I saw it, So

605
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 2: you guys had convinced me that someone went like like

606
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: Tanya Harding on Kyle Trask and did everything but crowbar

607
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 2: is shins. And then I looked at it and it

608
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 2: was a garden variety of late hit that probably wouldn't

609
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 2: have even.

610
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,439
Speaker 1: Been flagg period thirty years ago. It should be flagged today.

611
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 2: It wasn't okay, So everyone was trying to justify this,

612
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 2: and I'm like, are you seriously suggesting to me that

613
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: the only proper retaliatory measure you can take on a

614
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: non call late hit is to go pier six brawl

615
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 2: at midfield and risk the rest of your season?

616
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: Is that what you're suggesting to me?

617
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 2: Because if you're suggesting that that's fine, it's your program.

618
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 1: You got more stock in it than I do.

619
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you you have that mentality, especially as

620
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 2: a player coach, but even as a fan. If you,

621
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: as a program have that mentality enjoy watching the SEC

622
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: title game from home every year. That's not the way

623
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: the big boys do it. That's not And if you

624
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 2: think Clemson or Alabama, Ohio State like, if you think

625
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: those programs lack fight and emotion and desire, you're kidding yourself.

626
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: That's just not the way you do it.

627
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 2: So having said that, I know I went a little

628
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: negative on Florida. It's only cause I have high expectations

629
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 2: for him and it would really aggravate me to see

630
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: them ruin it with half a dozen guys suspended for

631
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 2: the biggest game of the year. Throw the flag and

632
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 2: the fight doesn't happen. That could be true, for all

633
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: I know. It could be true. The flag wasn't thrown, okay,

634
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: so get your stuff together anyway, take care of it.

635
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 2: In the third and fourth quarter, which is where the

636
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 2: credit has to come in. They had about as clean

637
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 2: a second half in this game as you'll see all year.

638
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 2: And you got a hat tip Dan Mullen for that,

639
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 2: and you got a hot hat tip Drinkuts for that,

640
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 2: because that's the And the officiating crew down there missed

641
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 2: call though there may have been in the first half,

642
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 2: because that's not easy to keep control of all Right,

643
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,199
Speaker 2: let's move on here because we got a lot more

644
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 2: to talk about with.

645
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: Them later in the show.

646
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 2: A and M our bet of the week, our best bet.

647
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 2: They took care of Arkansas forty two to thirty. We

648
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 2: got exactly what we expected out of this game. Sometimes

649
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 2: you make a bet, you get lucky. Sometimes you make

650
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 2: one and you get unlucky, even though you think you

651
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 2: should have won. This one went exactly how we thought.

652
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 2: Arkansas had a garbage time touchdown that closed the game

653
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 2: and made it look a whole lot closer than it

654
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 2: had been, which is why again, you had to get

655
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 2: the number where we got it. A and M minus

656
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 2: ten was the number we got. Some of you waited

657
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 2: until it went to fourteen. Don't do that, Kellen Mond.

658
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 2: This was the best game I've seen him play at

659
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,479
Speaker 2: Texas A and M. I feel like I've waited a

660
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 2: decade to say it, but man, he was in total command,

661
00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 2: had poise under pressure yesterday.

662
00:28:58,520 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 1: Third downs there were seven of eleven.

663
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: He overall was twenty one of twenty six for two

664
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 2: sixty three touchdowns. He ran for another thirty two yards,

665
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 2: no interceptions, no fumbles, twelve point four yards per completion,

666
00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 2: everything you could possibly want coming out of a bye week.

667
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: And listen, here's the reason we love this game so much.

668
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 2: We told you Arkansas. Arkansas is a great story. They're

669
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 2: probably the best story in the SEC this year. It

670
00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: was nothing against Arkansas. They were being valued a little

671
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 2: bit too high because they were riding a wave that

672
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 2: was largely built on what we call bob plays, bounce

673
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 2: the ball plays and benefiting from turnovers, which is great.

674
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: They just don't translate week to week. It doesn happen.

675
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter what team you're talking about. You're not going

676
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 2: to continue to benefit from turnover luck week to week.

677
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 2: Over the course of a season. Maybe you will not

678
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: happen a week to week. So yesterday we got a

679
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 2: straight up game in terms of turnovers. No one had

680
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 2: a turnover margin that was plus either way. A and

681
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: M's not much better than Arkansas this year. A and

682
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:57,560
Speaker 2: M's a very good team. We've got them rated higher

683
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 2: consistently have all year than anyone else has that I've seen.

684
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: At least, that was the gap that we expected to see.

685
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: Now and now, a lot of you disagreed with me.

686
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,040
Speaker 2: I didn't hear from many of you after the game

687
00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 2: that's fine, but that is the gap that exists this

688
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 2: year between those teams, which is no knock because A

689
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: and M's a good team and Arkansas has exceeded expectation.

690
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: Two areas for A and M that are surging.

691
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 2: Offensive line gave up one sack in Week one against Vanderbilt.

692
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: They've given up none since then.

693
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 2: Arkansas's offensive line is playing phenomenally right now.

694
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: And Anya Smith. Everyone talks about Spiller, and that's great.

695
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: Anya Smith is a very important piece given what they've

696
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 2: lost at receiver. He's a very important piece for this team.

697
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 2: He had three runs for thirty one yards yesterday and

698
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 2: a touchdown, had six receptions for sixty seven and another touchdown,

699
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,479
Speaker 2: So those aren't numbers that just blow off the screen.

700
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: But he's very important because you've got Weedermeyer and you

701
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:50,400
Speaker 2: got Spiller, and you know those names. But that's the

702
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 2: kind of guy and nic Smith's the kind of guy

703
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 2: that goes from making you, you know, a nice little story,

704
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: to making you a little bit more of a serious

705
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 2: contender for things down the road. So there's nothing to

706
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: be up about. There is a gap here. There was

707
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: excellent value. I just explained to you why we took

708
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 2: the game, but Felipe Franks had a good day himself yesterday.

709
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 2: They played Tennessee Saturday. I was talking to Colin about

710
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: it before the show.

711
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: Listen.

712
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: It's a good value play spot for Tennessee. I don't

713
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 2: know that Arkansas. I didn't have the quarterback advantage here though.

714
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 2: Franks was twenty three to thirty one yesterday for two

715
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: thirty nine and three scores. No picks there. So for Arkansas,

716
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: here's what you gotta watch moving forward. Seasons are long,

717
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: even a ten game seasons long when they're all conference games.

718
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: You gotta be wary of the gas meter because it's

719
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,719
Speaker 2: gonna run out. And I don't know that Arkansas has

720
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,840
Speaker 2: a full ten games worth of gas in the tank.

721
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 2: Like I said, freeze your opinion of Sam Pittman now,

722
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 2: I don't care if they don't want another game the

723
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 2: rest of the way. Give him the credit he deserves. Also,

724
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 2: be cognizant. There are only so much tread on the tires,

725
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: only so much gas in the tank. They've got Tennessee

726
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 2: coming up. There's no buy here. They've got Tennessee coming

727
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 2: up at Florida, LSU, at Missouri and Alabama. Those are

728
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 2: the remaining games and a very good team. And conversely,

729
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 2: A and M's already gone through the meat of their schedule.

730
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 2: They're going to South Carolina and Tennessee back to back,

731
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 2: then they got Ole Miss and LSU at home, and

732
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: then they.

733
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: Go to Auburn.

734
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 2: Thing about them is they may be favored in every

735
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 2: one of those games. Their margin for error is low.

736
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 2: See they played zero turnover ball yesterday. As long as

737
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 2: they do that, that's the kind of team they can be.

738
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 2: When turnovers enter the equation. This is not the kind

739
00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 2: of team that can make up for him. So they

740
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 2: got to be clean. If they can do it, then

741
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 2: watch out for him. Let's talk about some other college

742
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: football takeaways from yesterday outside the SEC. Texas beat Oklahoma

743
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,000
Speaker 2: State forty one thirty four.

744
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: How about that.

745
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: I'll get back to that final score in a second.

746
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: There is no need to revisit this whole Tom Herman

747
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 2: hot seat talk week to week. I stated my opinion

748
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 2: on the guy last week. Certainly, nothing about yesterday changed that.

749
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 2: I don't think he's the long term answer for Texas.

750
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 2: Nothing about beating Oklahoma State would have changed my mind

751
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 2: either way on that. I stated that before him. How

752
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,880
Speaker 2: important are turnovers in football games? Anyone have an answer

753
00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 2: out there, even those of you who think they're very important,

754
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 2: Even you may not understand just how.

755
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 1: Important turnovers were in this game yesterday.

756
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 2: I mentioned Bill Conley, who's with ESPN now does the

757
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: S and P plus he does the post game win

758
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: expectancy percentage, which is, if I were to take the

759
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,480
Speaker 2: box score, if if the box score for this game

760
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 2: just existed, all the data absent the final score, of course,

761
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: was on this piece of paper, and I were to

762
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 2: toss it into a machine and it takes this game,

763
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: plays it a thousand times, and it spits out one

764
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 2: thousand final scores. Based on the data that was gathered

765
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,480
Speaker 2: from that game yesterday, what will be the percentage home

766
00:33:39,520 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 2: team wins, road team wins. Texas won this game yesterday

767
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 2: with the lowest post game win percentage expectancy of any

768
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 2: college football game played this year, three percent. Oklahoma State

769
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 2: wins this game ninety seven percent of the time.

770
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: How did Texas win? You ask? How important our turnovers?

771
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: Do you ask? Listen to these numbers.

772
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: Oklahoma State at vantage in total yardage five thirty to

773
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:09,240
Speaker 2: two eighty seven. Oklahoma State first down advantage thirty two

774
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 2: to seventeen. Oklahoma State passing yards advantage four hundred to

775
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: one sixty nine. Texas had one hundred and forty two

776
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,839
Speaker 2: yards in total penalties yesterday. Oklahoma State yards per play

777
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 2: advantage five point eight to three point eight. What stat

778
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,080
Speaker 2: category do you think Texas controlled that Oklahoma State couldn't?

779
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 2: How about minus five turnovers? You can dominate as much

780
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 2: as you want on the stat sheet. If you give

781
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 2: the ball to them, crazy things can happen. Good for Texas,

782
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 2: I thought, regardless of what post game win expectancy percentage, whatever,

783
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 2: you won the game. That's what counts. So you go

784
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: home with a win. That's two in a row now

785
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 2: that they've won. They got the Baylor game and they

786
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 2: got this one. So there was a lot going on

787
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 2: last week. You're not immune from hearing that. So regardless,

788
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: they had to be in position to take advantage, regardless

789
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,640
Speaker 2: of how plus they were and turnover margin. So credit

790
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: them and credit Herman for getting that team up and

791
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 2: having them ready to benefit from that. Michigan lost to

792
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:08,879
Speaker 2: Michigan State twenty seven to twenty four.

793
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't even know. We didn't even

794
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 1: preview this game.

795
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: Last week, Colin, we didn't even I don't think you

796
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 2: and I even talked about it. Sometimes I'll come in

797
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 2: and I'll have a rundown ready and Colin will say, Hey,

798
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about this game. I'll say, yeah, yeah,

799
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 2: go ahead and add it in. We didn't even acknowledge

800
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 2: that this game was being played so disrespectful to the Spartans.

801
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:32,000
Speaker 2: And my goodness, I mean, mel Tucker's been there like

802
00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: five minutes. So they beat Michigan yesterday.

803
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, man. I went and saw.

804
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 2: David Copperfield one time at the Columbus River Center, and

805
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,720
Speaker 2: I had really good seats. We were on the sixth

806
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 2: row and he was performing at the time a tour

807
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 2: called an Intimate Evening of Grand Illusion, and he performed

808
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 2: all these they're bigger scale than magic tricks.

809
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,160
Speaker 1: It's not like he's doing a deck of cards in front.

810
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,919
Speaker 2: Of you, but he would make things disappear in front

811
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 2: of you, and like you would be so certain that

812
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 2: someone was going to be here, and then they were

813
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,720
Speaker 2: over here. And I gotta think, if I'm a Michigan

814
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 2: fan yesterday, after this game ends, I gotta feel like

815
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: this entire season so far has been brought to me

816
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: courtesy of David Copperfield. I mean, if I'm Michigan fan,

817
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: I watched US dismantle Minnesota, dismantle them as a.

818
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 1: Three point favorite.

819
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: Everyone thought that was gonna be nip and tuck, and

820
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 2: we dismantled them. And we come home with an extra

821
00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 2: day's rest, by the way, and.

822
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 3: We can't get out of our own way, and we

823
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 3: can't our corners can't stand up against Michigan State.

824
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 1: Mel Tucker many things.

825
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 3: He is an offensive guru, a guy known for pinball

826
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 3: offenses up and down the field that he has not

827
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: been historically so drops turnovers, penalties, four hundred and fifty

828
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 3: two yards of total offense, twenty four points.

829
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: It's just it's inexcusable.

830
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 2: But I say that, but I'm not the same with

831
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: Harbaugh as I am with Herman. Okay, I want to

832
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: make that clear. I had some of my most ardent

833
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 2: Michigan buddies yesterday texting me, this is it, Kenny loginstyle,

834
00:36:58,520 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 2: this is it.

835
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Make no mistake where you are. Well, I'm not there yet.

836
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 2: Because if I were to come into the season like

837
00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 2: I did, and I were to say, all right, I

838
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 2: believe in the direction here. I believe it should have

839
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,959
Speaker 2: happened sooner, but that's in the past. Point is Jim

840
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: Harbaugh has committed to a different path offensively, they got

841
00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 2: a new quarterback. There's gonna be some hiccups. There're gonna

842
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 2: be some ups and downs. I didn't think the down

843
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 2: would look this down. But this is part of the

844
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 2: process that I can still buy into.

845
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: It's tough. It's like swallowing poison. It's tough.

846
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:30,800
Speaker 2: But I'm not with Michigan where I am with Texas,

847
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 2: which is crazy, but it does show you how levelheaded

848
00:37:33,560 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 2: I can be with these sorts of things. Cause Texas

849
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 2: won yesterday in Michigan lost, and I'm totally opposite on

850
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 2: where I think the future of those programs may be.

851
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:43,640
Speaker 2: Having said that, they have not extended Harbaugh's contract yet,

852
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 2: so I don't control those things. And I will say

853
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 2: this also, we were talking about this in our slack

854
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 2: channel yesterday.

855
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 1: There are some members.

856
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 2: Distinguished though they may be, of the national college football

857
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: media who behind the scenes, are well known as being

858
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: mouthpieces for agents.

859
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: And that's as deep as I'll go on that.

860
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 2: But what I want to tell you is keep that

861
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 2: in mind when you either read glowing pieces about coaches

862
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 2: or really negative pieces about coaches. A lot of times

863
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 2: the sourcing for those stories is an agent. And I

864
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 2: don't know if you know any agents. I've spoken to

865
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 2: a few. They always have an angle. The angle is

866
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 2: for the betterment of their client. And let's say I

867
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,560
Speaker 2: have a client that I think would be picture perfect

868
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 2: in that Michigan job, and I know they have an

869
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 2: extended Harball.

870
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: What would I do.

871
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,440
Speaker 2: Well, I'd get in the ear of as many national

872
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,719
Speaker 2: reporters as I could, and I'd fill their head with

873
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: as much Harball negativity as I could, not that they

874
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 2: needed it.

875
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 1: After yesterday, and I'd say, all right, have about it. Oh,

876
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm anonymous, but have at it. Just

877
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,439
Speaker 1: keep that in mind. Let's move on. Clemson thirty two

878
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: Boston College twenty eight.

879
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 2: Let me repeat Clemson thirty two Boston College twenty eight,

880
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 2: catch twenty two. There is one of being a Tier

881
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 2: one team. To be a Tier one team coege football today,

882
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 2: what do you have to have. You have to have

883
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 2: a dynamite quarterback. You got to have a bona fide

884
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: start quarterback. Well, here's the problem. This is where Nick

885
00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 2: Saban didn't want the sport to go. Nick Saban used

886
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 2: to run a team where he could throw a tomato

887
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 2: can at quarterback and as long as it didn't turn

888
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 2: the ball over, he could win because there were several

889
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:20,959
Speaker 2: different focal points.

890
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: Of his team.

891
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 2: And so the point is there was no one player

892
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: that he could lose that would be so valuable that

893
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 2: would wreck his season. Well, he's had to evolve, and

894
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: because the rest of the game has evolved, so these

895
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 2: days you got to have one Here's the problem. If

896
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,200
Speaker 2: you lose that one player, how many points are they worth?

897
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 2: You could make an argument this flies in the face

898
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 2: of odds maker's conventional wisdom.

899
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: But I'm telling you the game's changed.

900
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 2: You take a Trevor Lawrence off the field, you could

901
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,840
Speaker 2: be talking about a two touchdown plus difference. No odds

902
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,719
Speaker 2: maker would ever assignate that to a point spread, assignate

903
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 2: Colin to a point spread.

904
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: But I believe that.

905
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: I believe philosophical odds making has got to catch up

906
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:58,080
Speaker 2: to that.

907
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,720
Speaker 1: So you took Trevor Larreens off the field.

908
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,840
Speaker 2: Dj Uyangliala who people knew for three days ahead of

909
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 2: time they were going to have to pronounce the name

910
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: of on national TV and it was still a disaster.

911
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 2: He's on the field yesterday. I thought he had a

912
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:13,120
Speaker 2: pretty good day. I got to be honest with you,

913
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 2: I don't know about you. I was not shocked. I

914
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: went to the gym early in the morning. I missed

915
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 2: the early kickoffs of the first games, and when I

916
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 2: got to the office, where I stayed until two am,

917
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,760
Speaker 2: I was not shocked at looking at the final score

918
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 2: or the current score. The final score was different.

919
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: It was twenty eight to ten.

920
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 2: I was out in the parking lot talking to one

921
00:40:33,280 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 2: of our recruiting guys on the phone, and I was

922
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 2: looking at the updates, and as it's twenty eight ten,

923
00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 2: I just wasn't surprised. I didn't pick it, I didn't

924
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 2: predict it, but I just wasn't surprised by it. And

925
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: here's why Clemson does not have the bailout pieces that

926
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,360
Speaker 2: they've had in years past. They normally have freak shows

927
00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,880
Speaker 2: at receiver that you can throw the ball up to

928
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:55,600
Speaker 2: and they'll bail you out.

929
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: They don't have that.

930
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 2: They're not terrible at receiver, but they don't have the

931
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,359
Speaker 2: kinds of dudes they have had at receiver, and they

932
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 2: were missing so much more than Trevor Lawrence yesterday. This

933
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 2: is why we've stayed away from the game entirely. But

934
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 2: they were missing a lot defensively, guys, and they're already

935
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:14,960
Speaker 2: young defensively, so there was just a lot going on yesterday.

936
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 2: Dj Uyangola le ends up being thirty of forty one

937
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 2: for three hundred and forty two yards, two touchdowns, and

938
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 2: I've got this triple underlined, zero interceptions. That's a big

939
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,399
Speaker 2: deal because, like I said, they don't have multiple star

940
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 2: receivers there yesterday, and he still got the job done.

941
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:31,919
Speaker 2: So this is one of those cases. And I don't

942
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: always believe this in college football, but for Clemson, a

943
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,719
Speaker 2: win is a win. All they have to do is win.

944
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 2: They don't have to win an impressive fashion. All they

945
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 2: have to do is win. We're going to talk about

946
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 2: Clemson more in a second. Cincinnati forty nine Memphis ten.

947
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 2: Don't spend a lot of time talking about the G

948
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 2: five's here, but as the Big twelve fades, looks like

949
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,440
Speaker 2: maybe their playoff chances are on life support.

950
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 1: At best.

951
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:54,279
Speaker 2: You may have a Big ten, you may have an acc

952
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 2: SEC if they have one each. I mean, we could

953
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 2: be looking at Cincinnati knocking on the door of playoff canension.

954
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 2: Now they've still got several losable games. They got to

955
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 2: play Houston, East Carolina, they go to Central Florida, they

956
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 2: go to Temple, they go to Tulsa.

957
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:08,439
Speaker 1: You heard me right.

958
00:42:08,760 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 2: They have back to back to back road games to

959
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: end the season because of what COVID did to their scheduling.

960
00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: There was a padlock stat in this one.

961
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 2: By the way, how does two hundred and forty two

962
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:20,880
Speaker 2: to five total rushing yards? How does that sound? Cincinnati's

963
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 2: offense stole the show man. They had twenty eight first downs,

964
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:26,480
Speaker 2: five thirteen to three, twenty one total yards. I mean,

965
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 2: this is this is a team. The profile in your

966
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 2: mind is they're very limited offensively. They do enough defensively,

967
00:42:32,440 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 2: they're like G five Georgia, G five.

968
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and maybe so.

969
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:39,680
Speaker 2: But offensively the last couple of weeks they've kind of

970
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,399
Speaker 2: come on a little bit. So hats off to Luke

971
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 2: Fickle and company. They've been getting the job done there.

972
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 2: All right, So let's talk about this week. This week,

973
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 2: I don't normally do this. Sometimes we call an audible

974
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 2: though football terminology, you know. So Clemson plays Notre Dame Saturday,

975
00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,160
Speaker 2: Clemson Notre Dame. I'll do it again, Colin, so we

976
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 2: can edit this Clemson Notre Dame. Some early thoughts this

977
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: week now the entire drop here. Shortly after the Boston

978
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 2: College game yesterday, dabos Winy announced Trevor Lawrence is gonna

979
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: be out, so you don't have to wonder. We don't

980
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:11,759
Speaker 2: have to have a daily Trevor Lawrence update. What out

981
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:13,799
Speaker 2: Here's kind of how I want to ask this. I

982
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 2: guess how much weight will the outcome have? That's kind

983
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 2: of how I want to ask this. How much weight

984
00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 2: will the final here have? What I mean by that, obviously,

985
00:43:23,400 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 2: is if they go up there with uang Lala. You

986
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 2: can call them dj if you want to. But since

987
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 2: I happen to be able to pronounce the last name,

988
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 2: I'm really proud of it. So dj La goes up there,

989
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 2: is the starting quarterback. What if they lose thirty to

990
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 2: twenty three, but then Trevor Lawrence comes back and they

991
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 2: run the table the rest of the way, they go

992
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 2: scorched earth. I'm going to tell you what I'm not

993
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 2: a fan of, but what I think will happen. What

994
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 2: I think will happen is the committee will get together

995
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 2: and they will decide and take it upon themselves to

996
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,720
Speaker 2: determine the value of a player. I do not support

997
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,960
Speaker 2: this at all. I want to tell you that crystal clear.

998
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: I'm fine with the college Football Playoff. I want four

999
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 2: teams in the field, don't want expansion, and I'm fine

1000
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 2: with the College Football Playoff Selection Committee doing their jobs

1001
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:04,399
Speaker 2: and I thought I think they've done a good job

1002
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 2: so far. What I'm not on board with is us

1003
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 2: seeing stuff happen that happens in football players missing games

1004
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,439
Speaker 2: and potentially losing a game, and then a committee coming

1005
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 2: back a month later saying, well, the player that they

1006
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 2: were missing in South Bend on November sixth or seventh,

1007
00:44:21,760 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 2: he's back down, and we think they would have won

1008
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,360
Speaker 2: that game if they played the game again today. We

1009
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 2: think they I don't care what you think. I care

1010
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,279
Speaker 2: what you think about the resumes as they appear in

1011
00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: front of you. I don't care how many points you

1012
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: think Trevor Lawrence is worth, because my opinion on that

1013
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 2: should be irrelevant, and I value mine more than yours,

1014
00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 2: believe it or not, so I certainly don't value your

1015
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: opinion on it. Having said that, I think that even

1016
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 2: if Clemson loses Saturday, that will be very much in play.

1017
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 2: Clemson is a six point favorite, by the way, on

1018
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 2: the road. This is a Saturday night seven thirty game

1019
00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: on NBC. I have something called the savvy spectrum gas Station,

1020
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 2: but I don't think I've ever spoken about it on

1021
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: this show. The savvy spectrum is this. Okay, you have

1022
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 2: the pure window liquor crowd who looks and says Trevor

1023
00:45:11,080 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 2: Lawrence says out, oh man, Notre Dame by forty Saturday. Okay,

1024
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,359
Speaker 2: clearly that's not happening. But then also on this entire

1025
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 2: other end of the spectrum here you have what I

1026
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:22,719
Speaker 2: call the brokers. The brokers are people who are not

1027
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 2: actually sharp, but they know just enough to where they

1028
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 2: go broke, Thus the name brokers, because they think that

1029
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 2: all the years they've spent watching football gives them an edge,

1030
00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:35,560
Speaker 2: you know, enough to like sports bad and stuff like that.

1031
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:39,240
Speaker 2: And so they actually don't realize that all the knowledge

1032
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 2: they've gleaned from football over the years, an oddsmaker has

1033
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 2: and he has baked it into the line. So he's

1034
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 2: actually using their own knowledge against them because they think

1035
00:45:47,480 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 2: they have an angle, and in reality they don't the

1036
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 2: brokers right now are saying, Oh, that's all right, Clemson

1037
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 2: will just plug in another five star and they'll be

1038
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,839
Speaker 2: good to go. Oh, it's not that simple, friends. So

1039
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 2: where you want to be is you want to be

1040
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,720
Speaker 2: hanging out with the moderates here where we realize Clemson

1041
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:05,400
Speaker 2: has a roster advantage still, however, there could be some

1042
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 2: issues for them, and they don't have the bailout feature

1043
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: at wide receiver that they normally do. That's where you

1044
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 2: want to be. Notre Dame can beat them Saturday. In

1045
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 2: other words, that's where you want to be. Tommy Reese

1046
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 2: and Ian Book are so important one net. Well, you

1047
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 2: know both names. Ian Book's a starting quarterback for Notre Dame.

1048
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 2: You got Tommy Reees versus Brent Venables. That's the coordinator

1049
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,240
Speaker 2: matchup OC versus DC, Notre Dame versus Clemson.

1050
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: I don't need to tell you about Venables. I don't

1051
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 1: have a lot to tell you about Reese.

1052
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 2: He's still pretty new as an offensive play caller, and

1053
00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 2: that's a big advantage for Clemson. Don't know that it's

1054
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 2: going to decide the game, but it's a big advantage

1055
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 2: ian Book. All you need from him is his best

1056
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 2: passing game of the year. I mean, that's not asking

1057
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 2: too much, right, but he has to have it. We've

1058
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 2: seen it happen before. I remember being at National championship

1059
00:46:51,160 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 2: in SEC championship games respectively with Georgia versus Alabama down

1060
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,759
Speaker 2: here a couple of years ago, and Jake From it

1061
00:46:58,840 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 2: always seemed like he played his best football against Alabama.

1062
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: And that's kind of weird because Obama's the best team

1063
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 2: they play. Why would he not play his best ball

1064
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 2: against like like a South Carolina or someone like that.

1065
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 2: But he, for whatever reason, played his best ball. All

1066
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 2: throws were on point, and I'm not saying that's enough

1067
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 2: to win, but he did that. So all I'm saying

1068
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 2: is ian Book needs to do against Clemson what From

1069
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 2: was able to do against Alabama that gives them a

1070
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: chance There will Also, it's going to be a chore

1071
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 2: for the Clemson offense Saturday. Whatever you expect. If you

1072
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 2: expect them going up and down the field, that's not happening.

1073
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 2: The typical Clemson edge, as I said, is superior wide

1074
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 2: receiver talent plus the precision back shoulder throw capability they

1075
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 2: normally have that they at third and sixteen.

1076
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter.

1077
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 2: They'll hit one of those precision back shoulder throws and

1078
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: they'll bail themselves out and they'll keep moving. They don't

1079
00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 2: have that right now. I'm telling you. They didn't have

1080
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 2: it with Lawrence all that much this year. They will

1081
00:47:55,360 --> 00:47:57,439
Speaker 2: not have it with Uyango la Lay And I don't

1082
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 2: know that they're going to trust him to put the

1083
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 2: ball in the air like that, not that they necessarily

1084
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 2: need to, because you got probably you can call them

1085
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,200
Speaker 2: the best football player on the field in ETN if

1086
00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:08,000
Speaker 2: you want. But I want to go back, since I

1087
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 2: made this parallel, you can think about this game within

1088
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 2: the context of the Georgia Alabama game that we saw

1089
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,000
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago.

1090
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:16,839
Speaker 1: Why couldn't Georgia hang in that game?

1091
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 2: They may have the best defense in the country, They've

1092
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 2: got a powerful offensive line, they got a powerful running game.

1093
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:24,760
Speaker 2: Why couldn't they hang in that game? Well, they couldn't

1094
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 2: hang because of a guy named Jaalen Waddle and DeVante Smith,

1095
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 2: Matt Jones and Naja Harris and so balance and explosive

1096
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 2: passing capability on the other side rendered you enable to

1097
00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:38,400
Speaker 2: trade points.

1098
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: And that's what you couldn't do. And once they got

1099
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 1: a lead on you.

1100
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,680
Speaker 2: Everything about your identity was so ill conducive to being

1101
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,880
Speaker 2: able to stay in that game that it tilted the

1102
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:49,360
Speaker 2: game and you couldn't stay in it. You couldn't trade points.

1103
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:53,240
Speaker 2: Notre Dame can't trade points with Clemson. Here's the biggest

1104
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 2: question we'll ask when we preview this game this week.

1105
00:48:55,719 --> 00:48:58,200
Speaker 2: Are they gonna have to Is this a game that's

1106
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,040
Speaker 2: won in the low third pies or is it a

1107
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 2: game that's won in the upper teen's.

1108
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 1: Low twenties.

1109
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 2: Very excited for this one and the other game we're

1110
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:10,840
Speaker 2: very excited about this week, the Saturday three thirty Eastern

1111
00:49:10,840 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 2: time CBS game Georgia versus Florida.

1112
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: For those of you who haven't looked at the points

1113
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: spread yet, what do you think it is on this one?

1114
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 1: Georgia opened a four and a half point favorite.

1115
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:23,359
Speaker 2: I checked right before I came over here, and they

1116
00:49:23,360 --> 00:49:26,120
Speaker 2: have since lowered to a four point favorite. There is

1117
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 2: as much uncertainty in this game as there would be

1118
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,520
Speaker 2: if they played in Week one. Georgia has a ton

1119
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,440
Speaker 2: of injuries, of guys banged up, don't.

1120
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:34,840
Speaker 1: Know the status.

1121
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 2: That's why we're not predicting the game tonight Florida. Don't

1122
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 2: know about the suspensions. We await word from the league office.

1123
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,560
Speaker 2: I guess that'll come tomorrow. I don't know yet. Did

1124
00:49:44,560 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 2: you have a preseason feel on this game, and if so,

1125
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,640
Speaker 2: has it changed, because my answer is yes and yes,

1126
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 2: and I've talked about it on the show. My preseason

1127
00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 2: feel slightly was to lean to Georgia. My current feel

1128
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 2: I changed it in Week one, haven't gone back on

1129
00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: it is slight lean to Florida. Can you make stets

1130
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,840
Speaker 2: in Bennett Beach you? It's as simple as that. We

1131
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:06,840
Speaker 2: go back to that Georgia Bama game. It's as simple

1132
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 2: as that. Do you possess the scoring ability against an

1133
00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 2: elite defense to put some points on the board and

1134
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 2: make Georgia beach you a quarterback? They have not shown

1135
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 2: the ability to do it this year. The grant that they

1136
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 2: hadn't been putting that situation a whole lot. Now, the

1137
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:24,839
Speaker 2: assumption when I shifted towards Florida in this few weeks back,

1138
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 2: and I heard from some of my Georgia friends, you

1139
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,360
Speaker 2: had a lot of valid points. It wasn't like I

1140
00:50:29,400 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 2: was vehemently disagreeing with you. I was fifty one to

1141
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 2: forty ninety either away. But the point was, well, George

1142
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,120
Speaker 2: is still going to be able to overpower Florida with

1143
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,719
Speaker 2: the run game, because Florida was looking very poorous defensively

1144
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 2: back then. And listen the most recent example, the most

1145
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 2: recent product on tape. I don't know that it solves

1146
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,080
Speaker 2: all the issues and the questions about Florida, but when

1147
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 2: they held Missouri to forty yards on twenty three attempts

1148
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 2: last night, it was a very positive green arrow pointing

1149
00:50:56,440 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 2: upwards sign for me at least, so, like I said,

1150
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 2: Mary Campbell, getting him back for Florida very big, not

1151
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,319
Speaker 2: only for his presence but shifting everyone around in that

1152
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 2: defensive front to where their more natural position is. Georgia

1153
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,760
Speaker 2: just make no mistake about this. They still have a defense.

1154
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 2: They can take over a game that's not changing. What

1155
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:20,240
Speaker 2: could be changing are some of the pieces, because defense

1156
00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:22,800
Speaker 2: is only as good as his personnel. Obviously, Jordan Davis,

1157
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:26,720
Speaker 2: for example, the interior of Georgia's defensive line. Not only

1158
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 2: is he a clogger, but he can get pressure. You

1159
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 2: don't have another player like that. Maybe you look to

1160
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 2: fulfill his role in the aggregate. You don't have one

1161
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 2: player who can do that. Richard LeCount got a motorcycle

1162
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 2: wreck last night. He is in all likelihood out for

1163
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:44,919
Speaker 2: this game. Lewis seen their other safety is injured too,

1164
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 2: he may be out for this game. If you're looking

1165
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 2: at the best passing attack you'll face all year outside

1166
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:52,760
Speaker 2: of Alabama, and you're now trying to do it without

1167
00:51:52,800 --> 00:51:55,920
Speaker 2: your two safeties. Remember all the way back in the

1168
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: preseason when we were talking about how great the Georgia

1169
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 2: defense was and was going to be, and they've lived

1170
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,640
Speaker 2: up to everything we thought about him. What I told

1171
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 2: you about the secondary is they are great. The top

1172
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 2: soil is wonderful. It gets thin really quickly below that

1173
00:52:10,080 --> 00:52:12,400
Speaker 2: in terms of proven depth. If they're missing both of

1174
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 2: their safeties and their best disruptor on the interior, it's

1175
00:52:16,040 --> 00:52:16,760
Speaker 2: a game changer.

1176
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: We don't know that's going to be the case.

1177
00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 2: But if that is the case, and we haven't been

1178
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:23,760
Speaker 2: told anything to suggest otherwise, could be a game changer.

1179
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:25,879
Speaker 1: This is the most pressure you'll see.

1180
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: Man.

1181
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: This is college football. This is why it's so great.

1182
00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 2: This is why you get paid a lot, to be

1183
00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 2: honest with you, not to talk about it necessarily, but

1184
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 2: to coach it. Think about the loser of this game,

1185
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,879
Speaker 2: like our show will be bananas next Sunday night. Either way,

1186
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: because the winner sets themselves up to play in Atlanta

1187
00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 2: in a few weeks, think about the loser. If you're

1188
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 2: Dan Mullen and you can't get the job done here,

1189
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 2: if let me dumb it down, Okay, this is all

1190
00:52:49,520 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 2: you need to know. If they lose against Georgia and

1191
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 2: I'm a Florida fan, I'm looking at him and I'm saying,

1192
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 2: we got Kyle Trask, they got banged up defense and

1193
00:52:57,840 --> 00:52:59,919
Speaker 2: Stetson Bennett and we couldn't beat him this year.

1194
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: When are we gonna beat him? When are we gonna

1195
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:02,279
Speaker 1: do it?

1196
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 2: If, however, Florida does pull it off, here's what I'm thinking.

1197
00:53:07,200 --> 00:53:10,040
Speaker 2: If I'm a Georgia fan, How in the world do

1198
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 2: we have two losses and we're not even in mid

1199
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 2: November yet, That's the first thing I would think. Already

1200
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 2: two losses, so our goals are out the window. Secondly,

1201
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:22,280
Speaker 2: we'll never have a better defense than this under Kirby

1202
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,439
Speaker 2: Smart and we just wasted it. We're not even gonna

1203
00:53:24,440 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 2: play in Atlanta with an all time defense because we

1204
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 2: couldn't get our act together at quarterback. And we couldn't

1205
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 2: get things figured out offensively?

1206
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:33,040
Speaker 1: Is that seriously where we are?

1207
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:35,720
Speaker 2: So that's the talk, regardless of who wins who loses,

1208
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:37,840
Speaker 2: that's the talk we have this time.

1209
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 1: I guess this time next week.

1210
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 2: So I'm looking forward to it because I just get

1211
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 2: to sit over here off to the side and watch

1212
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 2: all right before we go tonight. Oh, Colin, it's not

1213
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 2: eight o'clock yet, so we the under is gonna hit.

1214
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 2: The over under was an hour five minutes tonight. So

1215
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:55,799
Speaker 2: unless this unless the segment that is slated for a

1216
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 2: minute five seconds goes ten or fifteen minutes, we're good.

1217
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:00,319
Speaker 2: The ra Ma Noodle Express is a sixty two point

1218
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:03,279
Speaker 2: five percent. Now again, I want to stress you got

1219
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 2: to get the games when we put them out. This

1220
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:06,239
Speaker 2: has been a lot of fun this year. I go

1221
00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 2: back and forth with a lot of you guys. But

1222
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 2: you gotta follow me on Twitter. If you don't have

1223
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 2: an account, I don't care. Get one. Just this sounds

1224
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 2: very jaded. Get one to follow me, but not for everything,

1225
00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:18,560
Speaker 2: just for the picks. Okay, you can mute me otherwise

1226
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 2: at late kick, Josh, because when we put the line out,

1227
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 2: that's the number that we're locking in and a lot

1228
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 2: of times, especially when we do our early best bet,

1229
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 2: which we're about to do right now, we put it

1230
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:31,879
Speaker 2: out early because we think the number may move. Case

1231
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,439
Speaker 2: in point, we got A and M minus ten last week.

1232
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 2: It closed at A and M minus fourteen, A and

1233
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,759
Speaker 2: M one by twelve. We were happy, some of you

1234
00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 2: were sad. Wouldn't have happened if you followed me on

1235
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 2: Twitter at late kick, Josh, So without further ado.

1236
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,839
Speaker 1: Colin, where are we going this week? What we're going?

1237
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:48,760
Speaker 2: Right back to a game we just talked about. Florida

1238
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 2: has opened as a four and a half point underdog.

1239
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 2: I gotta be real with you. We're gonna go further

1240
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 2: in depth with our game preview Tuesday night. Our numbers

1241
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 2: think the wrong team is favored here. We've got Florida

1242
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:02,560
Speaker 2: minus one that is without adjustments for suspensions, that is

1243
00:55:02,600 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 2: without adjustment for injury.

1244
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:06,080
Speaker 1: So let me be crystal clear.

1245
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 2: Never has a number been more fluid than our number

1246
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 2: is right now, our own in house model on this

1247
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 2: Florida game. But we love being given points in this one.

1248
00:55:16,840 --> 00:55:20,520
Speaker 2: We're being given points with a much better quarterback and

1249
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:24,440
Speaker 2: as vulnerable maybe as that Florida secondary has been at

1250
00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 2: times this year. Do you view Stetson Bennett and this

1251
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 2: passing attack or lack thereof, as the unit built to

1252
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:31,319
Speaker 2: take advantage of that.

1253
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:31,919
Speaker 1: I don't.

1254
00:55:31,960 --> 00:55:34,120
Speaker 2: They were able Florida last night to play a lot

1255
00:55:34,160 --> 00:55:36,800
Speaker 2: of cover one look against Missouri because they didn't fear

1256
00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 2: the over the top passing element. And it's not going

1257
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 2: to be their Saturday either, and so that dramatically changes

1258
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 2: what Florida is able to do. So again, a lot

1259
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,200
Speaker 2: of that stuff could change, this won't change. We're taking

1260
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,520
Speaker 2: Florida plus four and a half as our early best bet,

1261
00:55:50,760 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 2: with plenty more picks to come this week. I ended

1262
00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,000
Speaker 2: up adding two of them I think yesterday. So you
