Here's 8 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,320 Speaker 2: the Alabama quarterback that won a Natty in twenty ten 9 00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 2: with a Crimson Tide. He's the host of OLA's College Football, 10 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 2: Greg McElroy, who we bring on two or three times 11 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 2: a year. The latest college football rankings have come out 12 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: BYU is gone. I don't have a problem with it, 13 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 2: I think, and I'm assuming most of you who've listened 14 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,840 Speaker 2: to my show know what the college football rankings were. 15 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: Oregon one, Ohio State two, Texas three, Penn State four. 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 2: Not sure I buy Penn State, Indiana five, Notre Dame six, Bama, 17 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 2: who I think is better than advertised at seven, Miami eight. 18 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,959 Speaker 2: Don't know if I buy him, Ole Miss nine, Georgia ten, 19 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 2: and Tennessee who I had winning the Natty eleven, and 20 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 2: Boise State twelve. So here's let me just throw this 21 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: out there. For years and years I heard Greg big 22 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,399 Speaker 2: Ten fans always state, why don't we have to go 23 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: south to play our bowl games? So what's interesting is 24 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 2: Georgia would have to go to Penn State, it's pickham Ole, 25 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: Miss would have to go to Indiana, and Alabama would 26 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 2: have to go to Notre Dame. I do think that's 27 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: an advantage for cold weather teams over warm weather teams. 28 00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: Do you, absolutely that's a huge deal, especially looking at 29 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: the I mean, what did Wisconsin just do this past week? 30 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: I mean, and I know that right now it's not 31 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 1: frigid temperatures in Madison, but they just got rid of 32 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 1: their air raid style offensive coordinator because it's hard to 33 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 1: throw and to be a pass happy offense in November 34 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: in the Big Ten, well raise it by at least 35 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: I don't know, three or four times the intensity in 36 00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: the playoff setting in December. I mean, look, I've lived 37 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: in Cincinnati in New Jersey in my time in the NFL. 38 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: The day I left Cincinnati, it was minus thirty two 39 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: degrees wind chill, and I thought to myself, I'm never 40 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: coming back. 41 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:11,640 Speaker 3: If I have to retire, I will. 42 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: I cannot play in this We don't even have an 43 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: indoor facility at the Bengals, I cannot do it anymore. Yeah, so, 44 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 1: long story short, I think you go to Columbus, you 45 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 1: go to Penn State. Depending on the day, it could 46 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: be a three to five point advantage in favor of 47 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: the home team. 48 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I agree with that. It's interesting. I think 49 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 2: Georgia is better than Penn State, but I do think 50 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: Penn State matches up well with Georgia because Penn State's 51 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 2: defensive intensity upfront and George's very inconsistent on line. If 52 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 2: this game was in Georgia, I wouldn't be surprised if 53 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 2: they won by twenty. But I think it's a weird 54 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 2: matchup for Georgia, a team I really like. But you 55 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: know this, in the NFL, the two things. There's a 56 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 2: couple of things that guarantee consistency in the NFL. Beyond 57 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: a great quarter a good defense keeps you in every game, 58 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: and a great old line even on games you don't 59 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,679 Speaker 2: play well, keepshin games like the Detroit Lions. It's hard 60 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 2: to play bad when you literally have four Pro bowlers, 61 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 2: three Pro bowlers up front. It just you know what 62 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:19,360 Speaker 2: I mean. And so when you look at Georgia, I 63 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 2: love Georgia, but their O line worries me and I 64 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: think they're in consistency. All boils down to their front. 65 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 2: Do you think they could win a national championship with it? 66 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,920 Speaker 2: I don't think you can win a World Series with 67 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: a bad bullpen or or a Super Bowl or a 68 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: Natty with a bad offensive line. Can Georgia win a Natty? 69 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 3: Yes they can. 70 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: And while I am totally on board with you, based 71 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: on what we saw against ole Miss, I did that 72 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 1: game calling and it was it wasn't pretty. 73 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: I mean, they're you know, I. 74 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: Will say this about ole Miss is a defensive line 75 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: like in a gotta have it situation, when those guys 76 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,119 Speaker 1: know it's a contract game, all right, Like buckle up. Yeah, 77 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of guys that are going to be 78 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,400 Speaker 1: a handful, not just at this level, but at the 79 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: next level as well. With all due respect to Penn State, 80 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: do I think they can cause problems for George's offensive line? 81 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 3: Yes? 82 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: Did I think they were going to cause problems to 83 00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: Ohio State's offensive line? 84 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 3: Yes? Did they know? 85 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: And my biggest problem with Penn State has long been 86 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: in the biggest game of the year, they scored six 87 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: offensive points and you can tell me about goal line stands. 88 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: All right, cool, you had a goal line stand, I'll 89 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,479 Speaker 1: raise you. Will Howard fumbling it over the pylon for 90 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: a touch back. So and if not for the pick six, 91 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 1: I mean, who knows? And to me, I just I 92 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: just don't trust them. I don't think they have receivers 93 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: that can separate. I think their tight end is an 94 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: absolute machine and is pound for pound. If maya a 95 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: Heisman ballot, I think you do too. He's in consideration 96 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,840 Speaker 1: for a Heisman Trophy ballot. Top three. 97 00:04:55,960 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 2: Yes, for seventeen catches against USC, the. 98 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: Guy would be a top The guy would be a 99 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: top ten running back in the Big Ten. I mean, 100 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 1: he's just that versatile, He's just that good. He's the 101 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,920 Speaker 1: closest thing in college football this year to Brock Bowers. 102 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 1: So I love him. But I don't know about their 103 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: ability to stretch the field. And against teams like Georgia, 104 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: against teams that are at the highest levels of the sport, 105 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 1: you have to create chunk yardage. You can't just have thirteen, fourteen, 106 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: fifteen play drives. It's just not gonna happen. How did 107 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,160 Speaker 1: Oregon beat Ohio State? They cut the head off the 108 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 1: snake by hitting forty yard throws down field. And I 109 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: don't think Penn State has that capability, or at least 110 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything to make me believe they have 111 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,679 Speaker 1: it at this point of the season. 112 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 2: So I think Oregon, being a West Coast guy, West 113 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 2: coast travels pretty easy. I mean, Washington to Arizona State's 114 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: considered a long roady, but you always played it. 115 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,039 Speaker 1: That's been a house of horrors for Washington for a 116 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 1: long time. 117 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 2: But Oregon these schools. You know, USC goes to Maryland, 118 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: that's like four road trips in one. It really is. 119 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: So Oregon this weekend goes to Madison. Well, how many 120 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: conference games in a row of they played? I thought 121 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: Oregon looked eight. I think I thought Oregon looked exhausted. 122 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 2: And so there's there's a game every year where I'm like, 123 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 2: remember years ago in Ohio State got beat by Purdue 124 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: by like thirty, and You're like, the hell is that? 125 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 2: I feel like, just take this game out, Just take 126 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 2: it out, because I think Oregon and ASIN would beat 127 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 2: him by twenty six neutral feel would beat him by sixteen. 128 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 2: I still think Oregon's speed is I think Oregon can 129 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: win a Natty. I don't know if they could beat 130 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 2: Texas player for player, But I didn't take anything negative 131 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 2: out of the Wisconsin game. I'm like, Oregon's played eight 132 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,279 Speaker 2: straight conference games, they're college kids. They look tired. 133 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, I could not agree with you more. 134 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 3: You're a football guy, Colin. Yeah, Like you're a foot like. 135 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: You know, you followed the game for a really long 136 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 1: time and you have covered it as well, if not 137 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: better than anybody in my generation of sports media. You 138 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: are a football guy through and through. You know the 139 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: dynamics of having to play two straight months against quality competition, 140 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: or the dynamics of having to travel out on a 141 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,680 Speaker 1: Thursday for a Saturday night game because you're three time 142 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: zones away. Like, that's a very difficult thing that teams 143 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: have to deal with. Oregon played their C game at 144 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: best offensively, I mean, they did not play well whatsoever. 145 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel threw an uncharacteristic interception on a throw that 146 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: he's made ninety nine times out of one hundred, and 147 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: the one that he doesn't make it's because the receiver 148 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: drops it. He misses the throw inside it's intercepted. They 149 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: couldn't really stretch the field and that's really what their 150 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: offense has decided to do is to create big plays. 151 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: I thought Wisconsin was very disciplined and kind of kept 152 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: it in front of him and didn't and they kind 153 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: of forced Oregon to play a game that they're not 154 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 1: Super Bowl super comfortable playing. But you know what that 155 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,080 Speaker 1: taught me this past weekend, Colin, was that Oregon is adaptable. 156 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: They're not one of the Oregon of Chip Kelly was, Hey, 157 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: we got out tempo yet, and we're going to have 158 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: better defensive players than you realize. But we want to 159 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: win games thirty five to twenty eight this Oregon. If 160 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: you want to make it a track meet like it 161 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: was at times against Ohio State, cool, We'll win the 162 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 1: game in the thirties, maybe if the forties that's what's necessary, 163 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: that's what we'll do. But we can also win a 164 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 1: game in the teams. And I think that this has 165 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: shown the evolution of Dan Lanning and the evolution of 166 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 1: the program. Whereat the offense doesn't have their best stuff, 167 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: Hey guys, guess what on defense, Let's raise this. Let's 168 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: raise the stakes a little bit, get a little more aggressive, 169 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 1: and see if we can't dictate our terms and win 170 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: the game with our side of the football. So I 171 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: came away more impressed with Oregon, even in a lackluster 172 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: performance offensively. 173 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 2: So Greg McElroy is many of you know as a friend. 174 00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 2: Is he and Joel Platter people I really like to 175 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 2: talk college football with. They're so prepared, and they both 176 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 2: played the quarterback position. Alabama's fascinating first of all. Jalen Milroll, 177 00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: I don't know, and I do this for a living. 178 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 2: I don't know what to make of him as a 179 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 2: pro prospect. I really like him as a college quarterback. 180 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 2: I think he throws a beautiful deep ball. He's got 181 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: really like a Russell Wilson deep ball touch. It's a 182 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: beautiful ball, incredibly catchable. And I think Kaylen de Boor, 183 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: I think we forget that. Kaylen de Boor is a 184 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 2: great coach and took over a great program. But you're 185 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: instituting your own culture. And I think Nick was more 186 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 2: of a little bit more of a screamer, a volume 187 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 2: coach like Loud. That's not Kaylan. He's more of a 188 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 2: teacher and a mentor. So there's an adjustment for the 189 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: players in Alabama. It's a new way. So they've had 190 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: a couple of really bad halves, really bad halves, and 191 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: I'm like, Okay, but I don't care if you're taking 192 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 2: If I'm taking over Nike, it's a great company. I'm 193 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: trying to change the culture in institute my worldview. So 194 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 2: I think Alabama now is actually underrated. I think it's 195 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 2: gonna I think by the end of this season, you're 196 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 2: gonna look at them and go, God, they're really good. 197 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: They have an NFL first second round quarterback, they have 198 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 2: an excellent coach. But so I'm defending Alabama. My take 199 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: is they get cherry picked a little more than most 200 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: teams because they lose Nick and they're gonna lose some 201 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 2: guys in the portal, and people cherry pick them. It's 202 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: very hard to follow Nick Caleb is Kaylen's learning as 203 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 2: he goes. Alabama's not Washington, Okay, al The culture's different, 204 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: the demands are different, the intensity, the media. It's a 205 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 2: relentless job. Washington's not. They got the Seahawks right down 206 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 2: the road. If you lose, people forget very quickly. I 207 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 2: think he's done a great job. I think Alabama now 208 00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 2: is underrated. You know the program better than anybody. Am 209 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: I overstating what they can do. I think they can 210 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: win a Natty. In fact, I would take them over 211 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 2: I would over Georgia. But I don't think that's I 212 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 2: don't think that's the view of most experts. 213 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: I think that they've been a bit of a punching 214 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: bag this year, understandably because we chase false gods in sports, 215 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: you know, like, do you realize that I don't know. 216 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: I mean you you cover the NBA. Did Michael Jordan 217 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: ever miss a game winning shot? Absolutely not, because I 218 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,439 Speaker 1: check YouTube highlights and I don't see a lot of 219 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: misses on there. Like we chase false gods, and I 220 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 1: feel like, even though we're just one year removed, people 221 00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: will look at Nick Saban's tenure and they're going to 222 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: sit there and think, oh, well, he never played close 223 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: against teams after a law after a big win. Oh well, 224 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: he never had a two point win against South Carolina, 225 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: who at the time was like a five hundred football team. 226 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: Oh well, well he never did this, And the realities, 227 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: it's not true. Nick Saban after a win or after 228 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: a loss, excuse me, was like eight and fourteen against 229 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 1: the spread in the last five years. You know, It's 230 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: like it's like nobody ere in the last ten years 231 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,199 Speaker 1: or something. It was like some absurd number. I mean, 232 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: it's it's ridiculous. It's not accurate. The people don't want 233 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: to remember that because they just remember the dominance and 234 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: the greatness for so long. And that's not disparging Nick 235 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: at all. I think he's the greatest coach in the 236 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: history of college football. It's just people don't realize that 237 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: he also had teams that had flaws and that had 238 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: growing experiences, and I think this team has had that. 239 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 1: And the unfortunate thing about this team is his team 240 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: is going to go or at least it has up 241 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: to this point. How their quarterback goes to be. This 242 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: quarterback dependent is a challenge. Your best offensive weapon outside 243 00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 1: of Jalen milro is a true freshman who is an 244 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,200 Speaker 1: undersized wide receiver. It has freak show qualities, but he's 245 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: not you know, he's not Megatron. There's going to be 246 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 1: some defensive backs that he has a tough matchup against, 247 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: and there's going to be some that he torches. But 248 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: he's young. Your running game is really good, and your 249 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: offensive line is developing into a star. That is what 250 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: I think is most encouraging about where Alabama's going on 251 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: their trajectory. And they're very young on defense with a 252 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: new system, and they've played a little better and better 253 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,439 Speaker 1: down the stretch too. So I think you're buying low 254 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: on Alabama if you buy him now, can they win 255 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: the Natty? I think it's all matchup driven. That's what 256 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: I think is cool about where we're going is it's 257 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: very matchup driven. But I do think they can do 258 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: it if the you know, if things bounce their way 259 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: in they play their a game down the stretch. 260 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,719 Speaker 2: The NFL season's rolling along. The contenders are separating from 261 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 2: the pack.

I actually have made the 293 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: argument that getting pushed around and humiliated at home against 294 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 2: Georgia is the greatest way to lose if they had 295 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 2: a lost to Georgia on a bad call or a 296 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 2: fluky fumble. Texas is usc. It's a glamour program that 297 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 2: gets arrogant very quickly because it's in a great college 298 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: town with lots of options, beautiful people, music, and food. 299 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 2: It's cool. Most college towns aren't cool. It's like when 300 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 2: I worked at ESPN. 301 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 3: Come on, there's a lot of cool college towns. I 302 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,360 Speaker 3: got to push back there a little bit. 303 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 2: Right now, Oh, I think Austin and La are in 304 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 2: Miami Corala. 305 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 3: They're very cool. 306 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: Fair enough, so I learned years ago when I worked 307 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 2: at ESBN. It's a sports factory, and it's easy to 308 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 2: be a sports factory because there's nothing to f and 309 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: do in Connecticut. You go to Fox a Fox, You're 310 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: not going to stay there for an extra hour and 311 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 2: a half. You got a cute girlfriend. You go to 312 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,400 Speaker 2: Santa Monica. You'll have you know, you'll have a margarita. 313 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 2: And so I think Texas and USC get very confident, 314 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 2: very quick. It's a bigger city media, it's a more 315 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: national market like Austin's a cool market. So I think 316 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: getting pushed around by Georgia was perfect. It keeps them humble, 317 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 2: and now they've kind of slid under the radar because 318 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: a lot of people sold their stock. I still think, 319 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 2: I test Texas is the best team when I watch 320 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 2: them size speed. Georgia looks like some of Nick Saban's 321 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:58,120 Speaker 2: National championship teams. Right or wrong. 322 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: I love Texas's ceiling. Why haven't they scratched it? That's 323 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: my problem because I think if you want to bottle 324 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,199 Speaker 1: up their best performances, and at this point, maybe the 325 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: Michigan game was it. 326 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,640 Speaker 3: Maybe that was the best performance. 327 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: Maybe they broke Michigan and had that game not gone 328 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: that way, maybe Michigan be a different team. But here's 329 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: my problem with them. 330 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 3: Call it. 331 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,199 Speaker 1: I watched them, and I'm talking more specifically to their offense. 332 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 1: I like their defense a lot. I think their defense 333 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 1: is really good, and I think their offense looked great 334 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: against Florida. Why don't I get that version of Texas 335 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: on offense every week? I mean, you have really no excuse. 336 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: You have a veteran offensive line, you have a veteran quarterback. 337 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: You got really talented and deep group of wide receivers 338 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: and weapons. Your tight end is very difficult to cover 339 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: in a matchup problem. You have a run game that 340 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,159 Speaker 1: can get complex in a hurry, and an RPO and 341 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: a system that can make it very difficult on the 342 00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: posing defenses. Why is it that we're playing sideline to 343 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: sideline so much? Like why don't we take the top 344 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 1: off the defense? Why don't we throw it downfield? I 345 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: just I think Texas's offense is looking a lot like 346 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: NFL offenses right now, where I just get so tired 347 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: of the dink and dunk, catch and run, Like take 348 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: throw it down field, like you have Josh Allen and 349 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. Throw it forty yards down field, and let's 350 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: see what we got like this whole you know, sideline 351 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,480 Speaker 1: to sideline, five yards down the field, catch, run, high 352 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: percentage efficient, stay ahead of the change. We're gonna play analytics. 353 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: You got four downs to get it in plus territory. 354 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: Like to me, that's great, it works, it wins, but 355 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: it's boring, like take some shots, and I just think 356 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 1: Texas has yet to do that with great conviction. I 357 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,719 Speaker 1: think it's in there, it just hasn't happened yet, and 358 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 1: I'm hoping that we see it before the season runs out, 359 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 1: because I gotta be honest with you, callin like, I 360 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: think Texas is in a position right now where they're 361 00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: number three in the country according to the College of 362 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,719 Speaker 1: Ball Playoff Committee, but if you really look at their resume, 363 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: they haven't really earned that spot. That's almost exclusively on 364 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: EE tests. And if they were to win against Kentucky 365 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 1: this week, which is expected, they're a three touchdown favorite, 366 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: and then lose to A and M next week, their 367 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:17,120 Speaker 1: best win might very well be a six and six 368 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: Vanderbilt team, and that's not going to be enough to 369 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: unseat an Ole Miss or a Tennessee or another team 370 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: in the SEC that's ten and two with a much 371 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: stronger resume. So I think Texas needs to play well 372 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: down the stretch because I think next week becomes a 373 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: playoff game if they don't play well and if they lose. 374 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: Having played the quarterback position, I've said this, I think 375 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 2: Shdur Sanders is the best quarterback I've seen. I think 376 00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 2: he's athletic, but he really prefers sitting in the pocket. 377 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 2: I think sometimes he holds the ball a little long, 378 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 2: but he throws off platform. He can throw moving left, right, 379 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 2: moving up in the pocket, back rolling. I think he 380 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: throws a really pretty catchable, accurate football. He can be hurried, 381 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 2: he can be frenetic, and he's still accurate. Cam Ward 382 00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: is a lot of backyard football stuff that I don't 383 00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: think translates to the NFL very well. He'll make a team, 384 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 2: somebody will roll the dice on him, and if he 385 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,640 Speaker 2: gets a good old line in playmakers, he'll have some success. 386 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 2: I don't think it feels as sustainable, though Cam's talented 387 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 2: as Shahduur Sanders. 388 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know. 389 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,920 Speaker 2: The Cowboys, you know the NFL. Michael Irvin told me 390 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 2: today Colorado football. 391 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 3: We know this. 392 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 2: I mean, it's the republic. What do they call it. 393 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 2: There's a joke conservatives called Boulder the Republic of Boulder 394 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: or something. It's a quirky town, very left leaning. It's 395 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 2: a good time. 396 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 3: You know. 397 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 2: It's not a it's not a legitimate, well healed, strongly 398 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 2: capitalized college football program. Dion has made it really fun 399 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 2: and deserves all the credit. I think. I think Dion 400 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 2: would take the cowboy job, and shaduor Sanders, I think 401 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 2: he's going to be a really good pro. When you 402 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,800 Speaker 2: watched Colorado, I would love to see them get in 403 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 2: because I think they have arguable the two best college 404 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 2: football players. What do you make of Colorado? I didn't 405 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 2: buy them at all early in the season, and now 406 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 2: I watch them and I'm like, Warren SAPs done a 407 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,920 Speaker 2: pretty good job. They're pretty stout up front. I kind 408 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 2: of buy them because I just think if you have 409 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 2: the best college quarterback, it's probably worth two touchdowns in 410 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: college football probably. 411 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,480 Speaker 1: I think that Shador is probably the best pro prospect 412 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,919 Speaker 1: right now. I agree with you on the shot clock 413 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: in the pocket and the pocket mobility stuff and the 414 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,520 Speaker 1: awareness of the rush is something that I am concerned about, yeah, 415 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 1: as it translates to the next level. I just having 416 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,119 Speaker 1: been back there and been in an NFL pocket, like 417 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: there are very few clean pockets now. It's a lot 418 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: cleaner now because of the RPO and some of the 419 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: stuff that you know, you just can do a lot 420 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: of different things, and one you can't hit quarterbacks, so 421 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: that's beneficial as well. But I look at Colorado right 422 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,959 Speaker 1: now and they have thirty three sacks. That's made them different. 423 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: They're in the top half of the country in rush defense, 424 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: which is a huge difference from a year ago. They 425 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: always had wide outs, The offensive line has been fine, 426 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 1: but they really at the same time, have they played 427 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: a defense that's anywhere near the caliber of what they 428 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 1: would see when they get in the college football playoffs. 429 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 3: And I think the answer to that is no. And 430 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 3: I think they would struggle. 431 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 1: And you make it a perimeter game, make it a 432 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,879 Speaker 1: catch and run game, and their weapons against your weapons, 433 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: and let's see what happens and Travis Hunter has two 434 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: picks and locks down one side of the field and 435 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: you know, and goes off for a buck sixty in 436 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: the air. Could that happen? Absolutely, But ultimately I don't 437 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: think it would end very well given the sheer quantity 438 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: of NFL level defensive players that every playoff team at 439 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 1: the top of the league's will be able to trot 440 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: out onto the field. So I would love it. I've 441 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: been shamelessly rooting for them one because every former player 442 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: thinks they could coach, you know, just not many of 443 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 1: us get that opportunity. So to see Dion make the 444 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,639 Speaker 1: most of this opportunity gives all of us hope that 445 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,120 Speaker 1: maybe we could do it too. That's for That's one 446 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: and two. I think it's just been cool to see 447 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: that it doesn't have to be done a certain way. 448 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 1: There's this expectation that this tried and true way, this 449 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 1: is how you build a program, this is how you 450 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 1: do it, and it's not necessarily always going to be 451 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: the same. It depends on the place, it depends on 452 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: the coach, depends on the personality. And it's been refreshing 453 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: to see somebody that's done it a little different and 454 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,400 Speaker 1: that has not made a lot of friends along the way. 455 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: Like he's kind of, you know, gone anti establishment and 456 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: say this is how we do it, and so be 457 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: it if you don't like it, and that to me 458 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: is refreshing. So I'm happy for him, and I hope 459 00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: they went out. I'm not gonna apologize in saying that 460 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: I hope we see him in the playoff. 461 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 2: So I made the argument the other day, I don't 462 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 2: I thought the win over Penn State. Penn State had 463 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 2: opportunities to win that game. And I'm not saying Penn 464 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 2: State's not worthy of the playoff, but if Indiana beat 465 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 2: Ohio State and Oregon beat Ohio State, in my opinion, 466 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 2: the two best teams they've played, because if Indiana beats 467 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 2: Ohio State, they're for real now they're a thirteen point 468 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,880 Speaker 2: Underdine probably won't, but I made the argument is if 469 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 2: Ohio State lost to Oregon in Indiana, man, I that 470 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 2: doesn't I mean that you're certainly not getting a home 471 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 2: game from me in the playoff. What do you make 472 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,600 Speaker 2: of Ohio State? I call them the whack a mole team. 473 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: Every time I'm watching it, something else pops up that 474 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 2: worries me. Ye first it was their defense Oregon. Then 475 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 2: it was their offense Penn State, or it was their 476 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 2: offense against Nebraska, and then it was their quarterback play 477 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 2: Will Howard against Penn State. And I'm like, something's off. 478 00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 2: There's just something. And by the way, I felt this 479 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: for the last two to three years against Michigan, where 480 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 2: Michigan had an absolute identity Nick Saban's team's identity. What 481 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 2: is Ohio State in your eyes? Beyond talented? 482 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,439 Speaker 1: I think they're I ain't. They're a team that wants 483 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:25,200 Speaker 1: to be rugged, but they still have a bun, you 484 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like they want to be rugged, 485 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: but they still have a lot of sports cars. It's like, 486 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: you know, they they they have a dirt road that 487 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: you have to run in the Big ten to win 488 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: a championship, and they can't decide if they want to 489 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: take their you know, Ford F one fifty or their 490 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: GMC Sierra, or if they just want to say forget it, well, 491 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: who cares if we if we blow an axle, Like, 492 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: let's drive the Ferrari and see what happens. I think 493 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,119 Speaker 1: that there is a bit of an identity. Do they 494 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 1: want to be a running team? They want to utilize 495 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: quarterback run? Do they want to do they want to 496 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: be a passing team? Are they a team that wants 497 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,320 Speaker 1: to work off play action? Like I think they can 498 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: do all those things. I think they do everything well, 499 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: but they don't do anything elite, and that to me 500 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: is a little bit jaw dropping given their personnel. Like 501 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: I think they have a good defensive line, I don't 502 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: think they have an elite defensive line. Like I think 503 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: they have good run stopping defensive ends, but I don't 504 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: think they have defensive vends that scare me to death. 505 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: And I can put my tackles on one on one 506 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 1: against them in an obvious passing situation. I think they 507 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: have really athletic linebackers, and I think those guys are 508 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 1: actually an upgrade from what they've had in the past. 509 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: But I also think they can sometimes over pursue and 510 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 1: Oregon hit them with some misdirections to my violation stuff. 511 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: I hate they have really good corners, but I also 512 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,120 Speaker 1: don't know if those corners have seen elite elite level 513 00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: wide receivers outside of that game against Oregon. And guess what, 514 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: every team they play in the playoff will likely have 515 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:59,719 Speaker 1: elite level wide receivers. So it's a roundabout way of 516 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: saying I think Ohio State has a crazy high ceiling 517 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 1: and if they ever put it all together, it'd be 518 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 1: a special thing for all of us to watch. But 519 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 1: it's Week eleven. Yeah, what are we waiting for? And 520 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 1: I hope badly it happens this week and not because 521 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 1: of Indiana or anything. I just want to see it. 522 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: You don't accumulate that many pros on one roster and 523 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 1: not just want something more. It feels a little bit 524 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 1: like the twenty fifteen team, you know what I mean. 525 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 1: Like when they were in twenty fifteen, they had the 526 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: best roster, but they didn't have the best team. And 527 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 1: I don't know why that was. 528 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 2: I made this argument. I think to Urban Meyer a 529 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:41,639 Speaker 2: year ago, I said, they're receiving recruiting has been so good. 530 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 2: Brian Hartline, I mean, it's just all five star guys 531 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:51,400 Speaker 2: that even at practice, it's art, it's beautiful, and it's 532 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 2: hard not to be seduced as a head coach when 533 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 2: you're looking at these incredible first round wide receivers and 534 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 2: you have good backs, not pedestrian, they're good backs. You 535 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 2: have world class receivers. And I think at practice, I 536 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 2: think in game in film rooms, it's literally like putting 537 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,280 Speaker 2: ice cream in front of an eight year old. It's 538 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 2: like I'm going to eat it, even if I know 539 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:16,360 Speaker 2: it's not good for me. And I think, what's happened. 540 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 2: They're receiving. Recruiting is so good that it's seductive, and 541 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,600 Speaker 2: they sometimes whenever they have a bad drive, we're throwing 542 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,119 Speaker 2: the ball, We're going to the perimeter, and it's like 543 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 2: this happens now. Saban his recruiting on the perimeter was 544 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 2: great as well. But the culture of Alabama was really 545 00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 2: about physicality, and when I thought Michigan separated from Ohio State. 546 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 2: It wasn't better players until the very last team. It 547 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 2: was a better identity and understanding of what they were. Hell, 548 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 2: they beat Penn State. They didn't throw a pass in 549 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: the second half on the road. So I think this 550 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 2: may not make sense, but you know a little. You 551 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 2: know some of this in the NFL. If your best 552 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 2: athletes are on the perimeter, it's seductive. You're going to 553 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,959 Speaker 2: be a morphinesse football team Cincinnati between losing Joe Mixon, 554 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,880 Speaker 2: Higgins and Chase. Of course, you're gonna throw the ball. 555 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 2: It's just it's too appealing not to. And I feel 556 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,840 Speaker 2: like with Ohio State, I don't know if they need 557 00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 2: an eight minute drive to kill the clock. Is it 558 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 2: in them running the ball and eating up clock? Is 559 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,760 Speaker 2: it in them? I don't know if it is. 560 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's perfectly fair. 561 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:33,120 Speaker 1: And they're also sometimes when I watch Ohio State and 562 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: I felt like this a little bit like when I 563 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,560 Speaker 1: watched the Lincoln Riley led Oklahoma teams. 564 00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 3: And this is not comparing Ryan Dade and Lincoln Riley, 565 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 3: this is. 566 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: Not I just feel like they look at a six 567 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 1: yard gain like it's a failure. You know what, I mean, 568 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: like sometimes when I watch them, it's like, oh, handoff 569 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 1: to Judkins up the middle, gain of five at second 570 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: and five, it's like guys are walking back to the 571 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, their heads are hung. 572 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 3: It's like that was a great play. 573 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: I mean, I just think there is such pressure to 574 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: not just perform at a high level, but to have 575 00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 1: a highly intoxicated offense that goes up and down the field. 576 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,520 Speaker 1: But also when you have an offense that can score fifty, 577 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: you're hanging your defense out to dry. 578 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: So then if you. 579 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,840 Speaker 1: Want to lean into your offense, now everyone's gonna call 580 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: you soft because that's that's what people have been saying 581 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: for the last two years. That's why you lost to 582 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,520 Speaker 1: Michigan because you're quote soft. That's not true. We aren't soft. 583 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: And just Michigan was the better team on that day. 584 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,400 Speaker 2: And Michigan last year had better personnel. They were stacked. 585 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:36,960 Speaker 1: It wasn't close. They were they were significantly more talented, 586 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: and look at the. 587 00:30:37,520 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 2: Draft they that, yeah, there's still more Michigan guys exactly. 588 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:47,480 Speaker 3: So I just think that I think that I think 589 00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:49,680 Speaker 3: Ohio State needs to just stay the course. Man. 590 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: They they're really talented. Don't try to be Michigan that 591 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: has a good quarter. Don't try to be Michigan. Don't 592 00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 1: try to be penst It. 593 00:30:58,440 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 3: Just don't. 594 00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: Don't try to be twenty fifteen Ohio State. Just be you, 595 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: and you, the you that you are right now is 596 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 1: plenty good enough to go win a national championship. But 597 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 1: I think it's going to require improved offensive line play, 598 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: which we've seen it's been better the last few weeks. 599 00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: I think it's going to require slightly more aggressive defensive 600 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 1: philosophy with pressures and being able to ramp things up 601 00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,960 Speaker 1: a little bit. And I think it's going to require 602 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,160 Speaker 1: them being a little bit more willing to roll the 603 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 1: dice on the perimeter some of their coverages. 604 00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 3: I think. 605 00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,440 Speaker 1: Don't think you can play quarters all the time beat 606 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:38,400 Speaker 1: high level teams. I don't think you can play press 607 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: man all the time beat high level teams. I just 608 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:42,000 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be interesting to watch them. I think 609 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: there's plenty of talent in there. I just I think 610 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 1: you're right. I think it comes down to identity and 611 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:47,360 Speaker 1: how they want to play into it. 612 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 2: Are you struggling to find the right candidates, Well, good news, 613 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 2: there's a place to go to get help.

You're 632 00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,920 Speaker 2: walking on eggshells, you know. If a guy I mean, 633 00:32:55,960 --> 00:32:59,120 Speaker 2: if you have three receivers and ones not getting reps, 634 00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,640 Speaker 2: I mean, you can coach as hard as you used to, 635 00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: and I thought Brian was over the top with his 636 00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 2: sideline annex. But you know this college football. I've heard 637 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,200 Speaker 2: that more than once. He's not the only coach to 638 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 2: ever do that. But with USC, there's limitations a their offenses. 639 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 2: All kids outside of Woody Marks in the center, they're 640 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,720 Speaker 2: all coming back, really really young team, And I get 641 00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 2: the exact same USC team every Saturday. They lead in 642 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 2: the fourth, but they can't extend drives because the O 643 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 2: line is a year away, and they just can't put 644 00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 2: teams away. But I feel like I get the exact 645 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 2: same team every game, even the Maryland lost the Nebraska win, 646 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:37,320 Speaker 2: It's the same team. With LSU, it's all over the map. 647 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,480 Speaker 2: But I also feel that Brian Kelly's personality is all 648 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 2: over the map. It's the Southern twang, it's screaming, it's fun. 649 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 2: He's a combustible, emotional guy, and I feel like it's 650 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 2: feeding into LSU. I thought it would work. I thought 651 00:33:55,080 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 2: it was a perfect fit. Something is off. What is it? 652 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 3: Well? I think I think it's it's all fair well one. 653 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: I still think it's gonna work. I just know that 654 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: program too well. Calling It's like you just can't screw 655 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,120 Speaker 1: it up. It's just there's too many guys. Now you 656 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 1: don't have the built in advantage of pre nil that 657 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 1: you once had because guys are now willing to listen 658 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:30,520 Speaker 1: to overtures from other places. So there there was a 659 00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,879 Speaker 1: time where like every coach in the country is trying 660 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,719 Speaker 1: to get the Monroe Louisiana because they had the best 661 00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,840 Speaker 1: offensive line of defensive line talent in the world, like 662 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: per capita, like you get, like, look at the NFL 663 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:42,480 Speaker 1: guys from Monroe Louisiana. 664 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just ridiculous. 665 00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,839 Speaker 1: So they had a little bit of a stranglehold on 666 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,680 Speaker 1: that part of the country and and now that you know, 667 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: the lid is off. But what I would say about 668 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly is that they are relying on personnel on 669 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:00,880 Speaker 1: the defensive side that is just not good enough. They're 670 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:05,520 Speaker 1: just not talented enough. And I think they have enough offensively. 671 00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:09,040 Speaker 1: I think their quarterbacks fantastic when he knows what color 672 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,719 Speaker 1: jersey they're wearing, which is not always a guarantee with 673 00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 1: nus Meyer. He will take some risks and unnecessarily so 674 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 1: I don't think they've been committed enough to the run game. 675 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 1: And I also don't think that they are a team 676 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,920 Speaker 1: right now that if their offense doesn't have their a 677 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,920 Speaker 1: game that they can win. Like their defense struggles and 678 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: they have a good coordinator, they just don't have the 679 00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 1: person now. And when we think LSU personnel on defense 680 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:39,800 Speaker 1: and the best, like very few from this year's group 681 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,120 Speaker 1: would be starting on some of the best LSU teams 682 00:35:42,120 --> 00:35:42,799 Speaker 1: on that side of the block. 683 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 2: No, I think that's I think that's fair. And I 684 00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:47,840 Speaker 2: when I watch him, I kind of feel half to 685 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:49,760 Speaker 2: half game to game, I'm not exactly sure. 686 00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:50,080 Speaker 3: What I get. 687 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,279 Speaker 2: At their very best, they're really good, but they're just 688 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 2: wildly inconsistent. And I thought it would work. I really did. 689 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,160 Speaker 2: I was like one of my strongest takes, like this 690 00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 2: dude won Cincinnati. I mean, people forget Notre Dame. Notre 691 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:09,520 Speaker 2: Dame is hard. You have a religious umbrella. It is 692 00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:17,279 Speaker 2: a cold, northern small town, academically harder than average. It's 693 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 2: hard to get all the academic schools Northwestern, Stanford, Notre Dame. 694 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 2: Have they ever all been good at once? It's hard. 695 00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,120 Speaker 2: And I've talked to Notre damers like it's it's it's 696 00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:30,279 Speaker 2: no day at the beach and frankly that part of 697 00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 2: the country. You have to get on a plane for 698 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 2: every single recruit. So I to win at Notre Dame, 699 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,200 Speaker 2: I think has always been I think in the seventies 700 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,440 Speaker 2: and eighties it was a glamour program that's just another 701 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 2: cold weather place. I think it's hard, and you know, 702 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 2: there's there's limitations on. They've always had this austere feeling 703 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,759 Speaker 2: about what they are and it's like, just pay the 704 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,880 Speaker 2: tight end six hundred thousand to be done with it. 705 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,840 Speaker 2: I think I think Notre Dame still kind of struggles 706 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:59,160 Speaker 2: sometimes with hey, we're above that. 707 00:36:59,400 --> 00:36:59,799 Speaker 3: No they're not. 708 00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 2: Florida State's paned, go pay it, let's get move on. 709 00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:08,120 Speaker 2: If they're so, we're gonna wrap it up here. If 710 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 2: I said, forget the national championship, but somebody in this 711 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,160 Speaker 2: playoff is going to win three games and we're all 712 00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 2: going to look up and go, man, did we look 713 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,920 Speaker 2: past them? It? Is there a team because I don't know. 714 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:27,880 Speaker 2: I I think Tennessee is a matchup team. Yeah, it 715 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 2: may not be a year. Is there a team in 716 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 2: here that you do things undervalued? 717 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 3: Yes? Ole Miss. 718 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:41,360 Speaker 1: Now, Ole Miss has a bit of a unique circumstance 719 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: surrounding their program and the way they've compiled their roster. 720 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,240 Speaker 1: So I think in the regular season with ole Miss, 721 00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,600 Speaker 1: I think Lane would admit this culture is something that 722 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,200 Speaker 1: is going to be a challenge. Yeah, having guys that 723 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:59,960 Speaker 1: are just universally invested in the place because they've been 724 00:38:00,120 --> 00:38:02,440 Speaker 1: there for six months, how do you develop any type 725 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,880 Speaker 1: of appeal for the community or for the university, Like 726 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,240 Speaker 1: I'm here to play ball, I'm doing this, like I'm 727 00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 1: getting paid this, Like this is what we do. So 728 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: as a result, I thought that there would be games 729 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:18,520 Speaker 1: this year that would be close because guys weren't going 730 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:20,680 Speaker 1: to be all in on a week to week basis. 731 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: That happened against Kentucky and it also happened against LSU. 732 00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:26,799 Speaker 1: They had no business losing either game. 733 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 3: None. 734 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,880 Speaker 1: I mean I'm talking they completely They played their D 735 00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: game and if they had one fourth and seven stop 736 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: on their on the Kentucky twenty yard line on a 737 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 1: deep ball down the left side, game over, ole Miss wins. 738 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,240 Speaker 1: And they had nuss Meyer wrapped up three different times 739 00:38:45,280 --> 00:38:48,319 Speaker 1: on the game winning drive that are the game tying 740 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,800 Speaker 1: drive that sent it to overtime against LSU, Like that 741 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: had no business losing either game. I've seen them at 742 00:38:53,080 --> 00:38:55,319 Speaker 1: their best and I've seen them at their worst, and 743 00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:57,359 Speaker 1: I'm telling you you do not want to see them 744 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:57,879 Speaker 1: at their best. 745 00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:58,839 Speaker 3: They are that good. 746 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:04,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they have weapons, and they have players, and 747 00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:06,399 Speaker 1: they have defensive linemen that can take over the game 748 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:09,560 Speaker 1: at three different positions. And you can do that at 749 00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,680 Speaker 1: three different positions your cook with gas. 750 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:15,240 Speaker 2: So if Sark meets Kiffen in the Natty, You're not shocked. 751 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 3: I would not be shocked at all. 752 00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:22,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, as crazy as we keep talking about Indiana and 753 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,000 Speaker 1: how is Indiana. Ole Miss, up until a couple of 754 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:28,120 Speaker 1: years ago, had never in the history of the state 755 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,640 Speaker 1: of Mississippi as a team won eleven games, So we 756 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 1: have seen like Indiana just won ten for the first time. 757 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,839 Speaker 1: Ole Miss won eleven for the first time last year, 758 00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: So I mean we are I mean, Lane Kiffen is 759 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,920 Speaker 1: in uncharted territory with what he's done at that program, 760 00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: deserves immense credit. 761 00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't don't judge a coach by his first job. 762 00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:50,480 Speaker 2: Lane has resurrected his career. Sark had some personal demons, 763 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 2: overcame those, but Sark was Everybody kind of felt like 764 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,520 Speaker 2: Sark was gonna work even the Washington job. Growing up 765 00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,839 Speaker 2: around that program. They were a disaster when he took 766 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,359 Speaker 2: it over, and they immediately he got him seven wins nine. 767 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:03,680 Speaker 2: He knew what he was doing. Yeah, Lane Kiffin had 768 00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 2: to go backwards before he could step forward. But I 769 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 2: easy guy to root for. He can be self deprecating. 770 00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,040 Speaker 2: He's really good. He had a rougherly struggle, fired in 771 00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,359 Speaker 2: an airport in Los Angeles, had the deal with old 772 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,400 Speaker 2: Al Davis. I'm happy for Lane, all right.
