16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: We are mercifully at the two minute warning of Indiana

17
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: and Oregon, a fifty six to fifteen lead for the Hoosiers,

18
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: who are two minutes away from a date with the

19
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes in the National Championship, just how we wrote

20
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: it down the beginning of the season. Indiana Miami for

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: the National championship, right do we all wrote it down now?

22
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 3: Not even how people wrote it down a month ago.

23
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 3: By the way, it's eleven o'clock in Atlanta where this

24
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 3: game is. This place would be empty normally, except ninety

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 3: percent of the fans are Indiana fans. It's almost all

26
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,479
Speaker 3: Hoosiers in red anyway, and they're all sticking around.

27
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, what are they calling it? Indiana in Indie Indiana

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: Indiana right?

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 3: Basically Indian Atlanta.

30
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it looks like you look at

31
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: the sands that go wow this. I get that. It's

32
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: a little bit easier, you know, travel or trip from Indiana,

33
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, getting I think Oregon.

34
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 3: Also already had the East coast trip. And this is

35
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 3: actually the problem that I've talked about on these airways

36
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 3: before they even expanded the playoffs. When you go to

37
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 3: multiple rounds, fans cannot afford bowl prices which are two

38
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 3: three hundred dollars multiple weeks in a row, and flights

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 3: and hotels and all of that. And then you throw

40
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 3: Oregon three thousand miles away essentially from all of its

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 3: playoff games.

42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: I mean, if this game was more of a neutral field, Steve,

43
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: I got to tell you this could be like fifty

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: three to eighteen. You know you buy neutral fieldworth, so.

45
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm talking about when you get to multiple rounds,

46
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,799
Speaker 3: and this would have been three straight trips to the

47
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 3: Eastern time zone, right, including Miami if Oregon ahead advanced.

48
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: So I mean, this is just completely untenable for the

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 3: average fan.

50
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: So as the clock takes closer to zero, Oregon may

51
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: put in a cosmetic touchdown here to make it fifty

52
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: six to twenty. Wh Kurtzignetti still looks really mad. You know,

53
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: this game tonight we talked about Dante, We talked about

54
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoz the last hour of the show. We'll get

55
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: into him more with Pete Futech coming up in a

56
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: few minutes. But this game is an absolute total disaster

57
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: for Dante Moore. Okay, coming into this game, who was he?

58
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: He was someone who rose up draft charts this year

59
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: to the point where it's a two quarterback draft. Right,

60
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: It's Mendoza, Dante Moore, take your pick. It was just

61
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: four days ago. Todd mcshae said, well, if the Raiders

62
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 1: don't guarantee me, I'm gonna go back to school because

63
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to be a Jet, Right, Like the

64
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 1: Raiders are where you want to go for a destination.

65
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: Get out of here with that crap. But like that's

66
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: where we were. Like four days ago, we were Wow,

67
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: Dante Moore from Nana Mendoza. Maybe as you get closer

68
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: to the draft, you know Dante Moore. Depending how this

69
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: game goes, Dante Morre's skill set shines a little bit more.

70
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: You'd never know what you can convince yourself of. But

71
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: if anything we saw tonight, Okay Mendoza with his five

72
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns thirteen out of fourteen in the matchup against the

73
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: other only other guy could go number one. Yeah, Mendoza's

74
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: going number one to the Raiders. But now Dante Moore

75
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: who would have been? And in theory, hey a lead

76
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,240
Speaker 1: pipe since to go to the Jets, Because no matter

77
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: what you want to say, look, and I love Joel Klatt,

78
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 1: but he lives on Mars. If he thinks going back

79
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: to Oregon for a year, for one year and seven

80
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: million for life changing money is a better decision than

81
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: four years fifty million, which is what he would get

82
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: as a number two pick in the draft, that's just stupid.

83
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: Nobody's doing that. It's just a way to say, oh,

84
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: I want to jump up and down on the Jets

85
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: because it's low hanging fruit. One's no one's taking one

86
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: year and seven million dollars for anything when they could

87
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: have four years and fifty million dollars. And also, you're

88
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 1: drafted at the top, you have more chance to succeed.

89
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: They're going to give you more chance if you falter

90
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: early because you're the number two overall pick. What happens

91
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: if you get drafted later in a year from now,

92
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 1: other guys could pass you up. It's less guaranteed money.

93
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, Dante more going to the NFL. He's got

94
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: to prove it at some point. Don't worry about your

95
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: second contract. Worry about your first contract.

96
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 3: And also if you show anything, you're getting a second contract.

97
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: And I think Sam Darnold is more than proving that out.

98
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: But think of the disaster this is because now, if

99
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: you're Dante Moore, right, if you're the if the Jets

100
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: are watching this game and they're going, yeah, I don't know,

101
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: you know, I know we pick a quarterback up high

102
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: at number two, but I really I don't know. We

103
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,880
Speaker 1: have a lot of picks. I think they have four

104
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: of the top fifty picks, we can get a qu

105
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: quarterback we like a little bit later. Maybe it's Ty Simpson,

106
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: maybe it's not Smary, maybe it's somebody out who knows.

107
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: But yeah, this guy at number two, I don't know.

108
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: And the biggest game he had, he was awful, wasn't

109
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: He wasn't ready to meet the moment. And sometimes that

110
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: happens in big players where it's a big game and mentally,

111
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: either your two jacked up for it or something happens

112
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,040
Speaker 1: and you wind up making bad decisions. And from the

113
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: first play of the game, Dante Moore made bad decisions, right,

114
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 1: bad Desi're throwing that football, bad decision to hold onto

115
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: the football in the pocket. As much as he did

116
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: against Indiana's defense. You were expecting a little bit more

117
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: out of Dante, more than this, Like I can't say

118
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm expecting. Hey, he should have gone for three fifty

119
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,119
Speaker 1: and four touchdowns, but a little bit more than giving

120
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: the game away with fumbles and interceptions and just looking

121
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: absolutely awful. So here are the Jets now at number two,

122
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: going wait a minute, so are we better off taking

123
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: this guy at number two? Or should we trade for

124
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray? And hey, we will have him for a

125
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: year or to it, and we'll we have more number

126
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: one pick picks in the first round next year. So yeah,

127
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: we want to wait until a better quarterback draft than

128
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty seven. Maybe Arch Manning is the number one

129
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 1: pick coming out or someone else when it's you know, look,

130
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: it's widely expected that's gonna be a better quarterback class

131
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: all of a sudden. Now Dante Moore night might not

132
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: be going number two. And if Dante Moore doesn't go

133
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: number two to a team that needs a quarterback, who's

134
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: gonna take them? Where's he gonna go? If you're not

135
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: looking another quarterback being taken in the first round until

136
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: you get way far down, like what is Dante Weill?

137
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 1: Look what this game has done to Dante Moore's value

138
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: where maybe he doesn't get the evaluation he thinks he

139
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: needs to get from the NFL and he gets a

140
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: lukewarm reception. I don't think anybody's gonna tell him that, hey,

141
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 1: yeah you should go back to school. But it's gonna

142
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: be yeah, you've played great, but yeah, we got a

143
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: lot of decisions to make, We got things. It's gonna

144
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: be one of those conversations where I'm not gonna tell

145
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: you we're not gonna take you, but I'm gonna make

146
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: you understand that, hey, without having to come out and say,

147
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: we have a lot of other things working on. Boy,

148
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: we like the combo of Kyler Murray and Caleb Downs

149
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: because we can get one guy in a trade for

150
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: nothing thing and take Caleb Downs at number two and suddenly, look, look,

151
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: how much better team we.

152
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 3: Are a non quarterback?

153
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, So I so I don't know, yeah, cause

154
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: you're not taking a quarterback if you're not taking more

155
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 1: at number two. So now suddenly he may look to

156
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: go back to school to say, hey, I did so

157
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: much damage to my draft value. It's going to be

158
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: a huge debate. But that's why this game was such

159
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: a disaster for him, because now suddenly you've thrown open

160
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: the door to not going number two, to falling through

161
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: the draft, to saying maybe I do need to go

162
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: back to school for one more year. Yes, and the

163
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: soft landing because he'll go back to Oregon to make

164
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: seven eight million dollars a year in nil money. That's

165
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: probably what he's going to get. So, I mean that's

166
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: a really I mean, so it's going to be a

167
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 1: really soft landing for him. But man, I'll tell you

168
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: to go from where you were just four days ago

169
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: to now. You have to sit there and make hard

170
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: decisions about your future. This game was an absolute disaster

171
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: for Dante Moore.

172
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe he just wants to stay in college so

173
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: he doesn't have to go to the NFL face Troy

174
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 3: Aikman and have to pay back the money he stole

175
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 3: from your CLA before you drop, where.

176
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: Is that there is that that is true?

177
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 3: By the way, Fernanda Mendoza has just taken it. It

178
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: is a final Indiana fifty six twenty two over the

179
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: Oregon Ducks in Atlanta tonight, so the semifinal round is done.

180
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 3: It is Indiana at Miami in Miami, Monday the nineteenth

181
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: and Dante more finishes with two touchdown passes and the

182
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 3: one pick six on the first pass thrown. Let's not

183
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 3: forget the fact that these two teams met in lead

184
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: play at Oregon in October and Dante Moore, although the

185
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 3: game was tied in the fourth quarter, was hit a

186
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 3: lot in that game and you really had to show

187
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 3: your metal. And Indiana was superb the last seven eight

188
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 3: minutes of that game and took the game and then

189
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 3: tonight just flat took it too Oregon. Not just the

190
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 3: difference between the quarterbacks, the difference between the teams was

191
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: painfully obvious tonight.

192
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, this look, this was this was a game where

193
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: one team, Fanana Mendoza was terrific, right, like he was terrific,

194
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,599
Speaker 1: But you saw one team that was clearly on a

195
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: different level. Not that any quarterback would have come in

196
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: and did what Fanana Mendoza did tonight, but he was

197
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: really as great at night as he had. This was

198
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 1: a head of the snake night. There was nobody on

199
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: Indiana that had a bad night. There was nobody you

200
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: could say, ah, you know, they could have no you know, yeah,

201
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: Menoza only threw fo one hundred and seventy seven yards, right,

202
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 1: but he threw for five touchdowns. They ran for more

203
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: yards than they threw four right like that. They did everything.

204
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: They took this this high powered Oregon offense and force

205
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: them into three turnovers in the first half and all

206
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: the yards and points they had were in garbage time.

207
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 1: Like this was. This was as good a game as

208
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 1: you could get from Indiana. Like they were on another level.

209
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: And that honestly, Steve, that's my only fear for them

210
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: in the championship game against Miami. Miami is a solid

211
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: team across the board, right really defense, Yeah, they're very physical.

212
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: They have shown that they can hold on to the

213
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 1: football and then you know they don't need to throw

214
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 1: the football down for the no short possessions. I feel

215
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: like every Miami drive is they take over at the

216
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: other team's forty five and they run fourteen plays forty

217
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: five yards in a touchdown, and they take nine minutes

218
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: off the clock. Right, that's everything, So I can see Miami.

219
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: You know, hey, this game plan is terrific because what

220
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: Miami does well. They're solid everywhere. But the only thing

221
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: that honestly for this Indiana team is you're gonna get

222
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: a little bit of a bounce from this game to

223
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: the next end. Right, you played as good as you

224
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: can a week ago. Now this is almost a perfect

225
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 1: football game. I can't believe you have another level to

226
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: get to in the National championship game, and you're gonna

227
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: get a little bit of a bounce in that game.

228
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: So that's the one thing that tells me, Hey, you know,

229
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: don't count out Miami just yet, just because you know

230
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: that's how sports goes but outside of that, you see Indiana,

231
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: it's like they have no competitors this season. Zero.

232
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, and very realistically, they don't have to be any

233
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: better than what we've seen the last two games. Anything

234
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 3: close to this wins you a national championship. You mentioned

235
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 3: Mendoza with the five touchdown passes tonight he was seventeen

236
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 3: of twenty for the one hundred and seventy seven yards,

237
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 3: no interceptions. So you may ask in a college football

238
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 3: playoff game, had there ever been a guy to have

239
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 3: more touchdown passes than incomplete passes in a playoff game?

240
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 3: Tua did it for Alabama twenty eighteen against Oklahoma, and

241
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 3: now Mendoza has done it back to back playoff games.

242
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 3: This is what he did against Bama and the Rose Bowl,

243
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 3: and it's what he did against Oregon tonight.

244
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, look, this is gonna be. I can't

245
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: wait for the national championship game because it's gonna be

246
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: those two different styles and different ways. And can Miami's

247
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: defense make life miserable for Mendoza? And I mean really,

248
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: he's going to have to be more escapable than he's

249
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: ever been. Right, He's not a guy that runs the

250
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: football a ton clearly he's a pocket guy, but he

251
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: has shown that he can make plays with his legs.

252
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: Not always pretty, they're always pretty to watch for down

253
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 1: to Mendoza run, but he's gonna have to keep plays alive.

254
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: Miami's defense is fast, it's physical. But look, if this

255
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: Indiana team shows up, it doesn't matter. But really, I

256
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: don't know that you see Indiana. Are they going to

257
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: show up with this kind of effort again? Now you're

258
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: gonna get a little bit of a bounce. You have

259
00:11:57,200 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: some time off, you have ten days between games. And

260
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: that's the one thing that I can sit there for

261
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: Miami and go, Yeah, they're solid everywhere. It's not like

262
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: you can take advantage of one thing they don't do well.

263
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: They run it well. They can control the football because

264
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: that's the best thing you can do is keep the

265
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: ball out of Nana Mendoza's hands, right, And Oregon couldn't

266
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: do that tonight. But I've watched Carson Beck and Miami

267
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: put these monster twelve fifteen twenty play drives together throughout

268
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs and basically take an entire quarter of football away.

269
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: If they can do something like that a couple of

270
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: times in that game, man I'm telling you Miami, Miami

271
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: might have a chance, but again, you just watch Indiana.

272
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: They show up. It doesn't matter. Miami could play with

273
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: fifteen guys on the field, it's not gonna matter.

274
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 3: Indiana apparently is already a touchdown favorite for the final,

275
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 3: which will be in Miami against the Hurricanes. I will

276
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 3: say about Mendoza individually, and we saw yet again in

277
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 3: this game tonight, what would probably make the NFL scouts

278
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 3: spounce water. It's not just the wins, and it's not

279
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: the ability to occasionally run if needed. What he can

280
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 3: do down the field, the accuracy with I'm not talking

281
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 3: about there are guys that are drafted in the first

282
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 3: round who can't complete all the screen passes. Let's be

283
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: honest about this. He can complete on the nose twenty

284
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 3: and twenty five yards down the field. And we saw

285
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 3: it again tonight. It's very impressive. And the sideline stuff

286
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: and the back shoulder stuff, it's I mean, this has

287
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:22,920
Speaker 3: been happening all year.

288
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean really, it's amazing to see all of

289
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: a sudden, a team with zero football Patrick Tree, zero history, nothing,

290
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: they have zero, zero football culture. There's no Indiana Football Museum,

291
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: it's left Hey, there's Antoine Randall l there's Anthony Thompson,

292
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: and there's a bunch of games where ran the single

293
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: wing offense back in the early nineteen hundreds. That's it.

294
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: Two year and all of a sudden, in two years,

295
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: it's we're the new dynasty in college football. Like that.

296
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: That blows my mind, Steve, that in two years a

297
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: team can come from absolutely nowhere and be a dynasty.

298
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: For one hundred years they were nowhere and now they're

299
00:13:58,679 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: a dynasty.

300
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 3: And then go. It's including the hot start against Oregon tonight,

301
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 3: playing back to back to back. Ohio stayed for the

302
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 3: conference finals in Alabama, then Oregon ten plus quarters and

303
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 3: outscoring those opponents ninety three to twenty ridiculous.

304
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: So here we are, after a huge victory fifty six

305
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: to twenty two. The National championship game is set Indiana

306
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: and Miami, just how we all thought it was gonna

307
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: be in the preseason. Forget Arch Manning, forget about any night,

308
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Indiana and Miami coming up next. Pete

309

Speaker 1: you wanted to see Indiana do they did, and now

337
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,480

343
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: how's it going?

344
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 5: I think there might be someone out there's better than

345
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 5: I am, because I still think Oregon's gonna win the

346
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 5: game three hundred and seventy eight yards to three sixty three.

347
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 5: And you know, it's like, seriously, I mean, that was

348
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 5: just a horrific performance. I mean, I don't know what

349
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 5: kind of vulcan mind meld, whatever it is thing that

350
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 5: they that Indiana has over teams, but Oregon just did

351
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 5: not look good. I mean they looked scared. They do

352
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 5: gun sure and they just did not play a good game.

353
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like watching this game look as good

354
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 1: as Mendoza was is good. Everywhere, Indiana seemed to be

355
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 1: one step ahead. They seem to be, you know, especially

356
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: defensively stopping them on third down. They seem to be

357
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: at a different level mentally, a different level of focus.

358
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: It's it's almost like watching a youth sports game where hey,

359
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,200
Speaker 1: these two teams make it to the championship and one

360
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: is the big club team that's so good, and the

361
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: other one just you know, wins a couple of games

362
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 1: how to forfeit. You get to that champion, will go, oh, yeah,

363
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: one team is really really good. Other team doesn't deserve

364
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:35,919
Speaker 1: to be on the field. That's what it look like

365
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 1: to me.

366
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,880
Speaker 5: What's crazy though, Oregon's kind of better. I mean they've

367
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 5: got a whole lot more talent. I mean it just

368
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 5: but man, Indiana just does not make mistakes. And like

369
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 5: the crazy part about it, you could just like the

370
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 5: first play, pick six, it was just like all right,

371
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 5: and yeah, you just don't have it. Even even with

372
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:00,719
Speaker 5: a fantastic it was seven to seven. They marched pretty easily.

373
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 5: I don't understand the game plan on either side. For Oregon.

374
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 5: I get it, their running backs were hurt, but Dante

375
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 5: Moore is still the number two, maybe even the one

376
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 5: taking the drafts at the end of the day. Don't

377
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 5: you let him like fling it fifty times and say

378
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 5: you're the You've got to be the best player on

379
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 5: the field here. And he did it early on. But

380
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:25,400
Speaker 5: then you had the you know, the running back fumble,

381
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 5: and you had this weird other fumble. You can't make

382
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 5: mistakes against Indiana because they just pounced on everything.

383
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: Pete.

384
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 3: It was complete domination at the Rose Bowl, and I

385
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: assume some people said, I'm not sure that's repeatable. It

386
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 3: was so good. It was kind of repeated tonight, wasn't it.

387
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 5: Yeah. I mean it's first of all the domination of

388
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 5: the rosebull because that wasn't very good. I mean, Oregon's good.

389
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 5: This was just a weird I mean, they held it.

390
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 5: This is the second time this might I think this

391
00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:00,080
Speaker 5: might be this of Indiana's season again. Oregon has I

392
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 5: think the two best yardage defensive games for Indiana. I

393
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 5: think they both think they was the Penn State and

394
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 5: Nowhere first organ game were tied with the fewest amount

395
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 5: of yards by Indiana so they did run run up

396
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 5: but kind of lost to this because they were winning

397
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 5: so big because they had such short fields. But they

398
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 5: did get you know, knocked off the field a couple

399
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 5: of times. There were chances there, but there was that

400
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,719
Speaker 5: one moment where you could kind of tell them there

401
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 5: was a little bit of life there, like eighteen minutes

402
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 5: to go, and you said, you know what if they

403
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 5: score here and somehow three and out and get another

404
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 5: touchdown fast. I don't think they're gonna win, but maybe

405
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 5: they would make it interesting. What do they do three

406
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 5: straight runs and work the clock and Oregon those in

407
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 5: the then to the third quarter went out, they went

408
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 5: with that weird pitch to the outside like they've never

409
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 5: seen Indiana play defense before and know what they do.

410
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 5: It was just it was just a bad overall performance

411
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 5: by Oregon.

412
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Pete, because that's what I like on fourth

413
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: and one is to give the ball to a guy

414
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: five yards behind the line of scrimmage because that's all

415
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: it's going to get a first down.

416
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: Again, like Indiana, that team is never going to leave

417
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 5: their lanes. It's like, do you not watch this team?

418
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 5: I mean, that's that's what you don't do. You power

419
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,719
Speaker 5: on Indiana. That's how you beat them potentially. But no,

420
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 5: I'm thinking out Oregon organ organ Indiana's awesome. I mean

421
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 5: they're playing for great I mean just I love watching

422
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 5: the receivers run route. I mean, Becker and sarat are

423
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 5: checked flawless. I mean the defense did a great job.

424
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 5: And yeah it didn't it wasn't a plus. But the

425
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 5: running game wasn't that bad for Oregon. The fifth string

426
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,880
Speaker 5: running back that they flew out there was actually pretty good.

427
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 5: He wasn't the problem. But it was just like like

428
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 5: Indiana beat them right out of the gate. I mean,

429
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 5: they just have this weird dominance thing happening that when

430
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 5: they show up and again pick six on the first play,

431
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 5: it's like you don't recover.

432
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 3: From that with the cloud. This was like an Indiana

433
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 3: home game in Atlanta tonight. The final is going to

434
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 3: be against Miami in Miami. Is that going to make

435
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 3: a difference on the field the Hurricanes and the home support.

436
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's I mean, it depends on

437
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 5: what home support there might be. I mean, first of all,

438
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 5: the tickets for the sing are insane. I mean it's

439
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 5: to give in the building. They're already talking, it's like

440
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,480
Speaker 5: thirty eight hundred and to get any real seat in

441
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 5: the middle there, you're ten grand already. So I mean

442
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 5: everybody in Indiana fan ever is going to go to this,

443
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 5: and Miami people are going to go to this as well.

444
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 5: Totally dating myself here. If I could do that, I

445
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 5: wouldn't be here. But nineteen eighty three Nebraska was the

446
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 5: greatest team of all time. It was just a formality.

447
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 5: Blah blah blah. Bernie Cosar and the Miami Hurricanes pulled

448
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 5: off the winterness in Miami in Miami exactly. You know,

449
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 5: I've just throw that out there just as you know,

450
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 5: reference of something. But I don't think it's going to happen.

451
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 5: They can't come out and play scared against this team.

452
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 5: And you can tell right out of the gate that

453
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 5: Oregon looked like a team that didn't quite sing it

454
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 5: could think it could win. I still think my Indiana

455
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 5: people are going to overrun Miami uh over in the

456
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 5: stadium there. But Miami had better come with a big

457
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 5: time attitude from the start that they can't just play

458
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 5: scared like Ordon just did.

459
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing, Pete, is that, like I look

460
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 1: at this game and I give Miami a little bit

461
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: more of a chance. Well, look, if this or if

462
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: this Indiana team shows up, it doesn't matter who plays

463
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: for Indiana. It makes no difference who plays for Miami.

464
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: They could have Kozar and and Irvin and Willis mcgaey,

465
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:31,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter.

466
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 5: But they're gonna get No, I'm not gonna go that far.

467
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,719
Speaker 5: That was a pretty good just some pretty good teams

468
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 5: back there. With those you got some Hall of Fame

469
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 5: talents down there. So yeah, yeah, you're saying.

470
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: But here's the thing is that they're gonna Indiana is

471
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 1: going to get a little bit of a bounce from

472
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: this game to the next game. And Miami is solid everywhere.

473
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: Their defense is fast, it's physical, and their style of

474
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:01,120
Speaker 1: football where every possession is a thirteen play, sixty five

475
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: yard drive that takes nine minutes off the clock like that.

476
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: Like that that's the right fo. I think that's the

477
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:09,119
Speaker 1: right style to try to combat this Indiana team that

478
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: you want to keep Mendoza on the bench and be

479
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: able to you know, control the football a bit. Like

480
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: I give Miami more than a puncher's chance because they're solid.

481
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,119
Speaker 1: It's not like you can do one thing and stop

482
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: them like. They're solid, they're fast, they're gonna hit their

483
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 1: physical they're gonna punch Indiana in the mouth. So yeah,

484
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward. I look at that and see that's

485
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: a much better matchup for this than Oregon turned out

486
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: to be. For sure.

487
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 5: They basically take everything you just said and just apply

488
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:34,880
Speaker 5: that to Oregon, And that's kind of what I thought

489
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 5: was gonna happen tonight. Look, but you're right, though, I mean,

490
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:44,719
Speaker 5: the talent on Miami's lines. I mean, they've got an

491
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 5: NFL offensive line and they just need to bash away

492
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 5: from the starts. The pass rushers that weren't there against

493
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 5: all this, They've got some top ten overall pick pass rushers.

494
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 5: They've got the guys at defense. Yeah, Tony is one

495
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 5: of the best. Is probably on Max Field. They're going

496
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,360
Speaker 5: to get to Mendoza. They have ten days to kind

497
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 5: of figure out how to do this. So you're right,

498
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 5: I mean, they've got all the things there. But man,

499
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 5: is Carson Beck going to be the Carson Beck that

500
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 5: we've seen in the last couple of weeks. Is He's

501
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 5: going to be the SMU Louisville Carson Beck where its

502
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 5: two picks and all of a sudden game over Indiana

503
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 5: has a funky way of making making team to do that.

504
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 5: But you're right, I like this Miami team. I said

505
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:28,439
Speaker 5: from the start that this is a team that could

506
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 5: make a deep run and could win the national title.

507
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 5: And you know, again, you know if they play sharp,

508
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 5: if they play the thing I mean. Miami played the

509
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 5: like C plus game. They totally dominated Old miss and

510
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,199
Speaker 5: yet it came down to the last play. It was

511
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 5: like they made their own mistakes, and they don't make

512
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 5: those mistakes, they blow out the rebels. And if they

513
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 5: can just play sharper, then that team can absolutely hang

514
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 5: with Indiana.

515
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 3: Miami's defense has had so many good games. They only

516
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 3: give up fourteen points a game. Indiana was only allowing

517
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 3: ten points a game for the full season going in

518
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 3: to tonight. Do you see this as more than just

519
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 3: a fourteen to ten type of game though?

520
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 5: The final it depends on how like you guys are

521
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,879
Speaker 5: alluding to it. How much do you get the long

522
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 5: sustained drives where you know you Mendoza takes what's there,

523
00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 5: what's given, You're going to want to get the ball

524
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 5: out of his hands in a hurry on the quick

525
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 5: shots because he does not want Ruben Bain jumping out

526
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 5: his head half the game. You know, so it's do

527
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:25,879
Speaker 5: they just go ding ding ding ding DNK down the

528
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 5: field or you know in Miami same thing, do they

529
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 5: just land an offensive? I mean, look, it's ole miss.

530
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 5: I mean, thank goodness almost didn't win because Indiana would

531
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 5: have won that game nine hundred and fourteen to two.

532
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 5: I mean, it almost didn't have a chance against Indiana.

533
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,880
Speaker 5: That defensive front was getting gouged, and Miami, as good

534
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,399
Speaker 5: as it is, is not going to be able to

535
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 5: pile drive its way like it did again into rebels.

536
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 1: Pete you Tech College Footballnews dot Com insider, our guest

537
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: here on Fox Sports Radio. All right, flip side here,

538
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 1: uh Fernanda Mendoza with the game he had tonight. Congratulations,

539
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 1: you're the number one pick in the draft. You're headed

540
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 1: to the Las Vegas Raiders, which I don't know if

541
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: that's a victory, but that's happening. Do you see anything

542
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 1: different for the future of Dante Moore after tonight's game,

543
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 1: whether it is thinking more about going back to school,

544
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 1: maybe the Jets aren't gonna take him at number two?

545
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: What did this kind of game? What impact did this

546
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: kind of game have on.

547
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 5: More, you know what, it shouldn't have any Like, if

548
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 5: you're good enough to play in the league, go to

549
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 5: the league, Like, Okay, then it was a bad night.

550
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 5: Well he's gonna have good nights. He's going to be.

551
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 5: I mean, if he's only twenty, and I get it,

552
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 5: there's only the twenty first start and all that. But

553
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 5: if he's got the talent, and I still kind of

554
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 5: think once the workouts start to kick it, everyone's gonna

555
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 5: love Mendoza because he's everything you want in the franchise quarterback.

556
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 5: You know, the personality, you know, the great accuracy, everything

557
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 5: you want in an NFL quarterback. But when Dante Moore

558
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 5: gets into a pro day and he lets a grip,

559
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 5: there's gonna be some people out there gonna be like, yeah,

560
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,160
Speaker 5: Mendoza is really good, but wow, this guy, I mean,

561
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,399
Speaker 5: he's just got better tools, more talent. So at the

562
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 5: very least, let's say exact too, Let's say he's top five,

563
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 5: you still go to the league. He's the number two

564
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 5: quarterback off the board of Mendoza's one. So lad, So

565
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 5: you know, what are you going to do? It's a

566
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 5: Bill Parks deals thing. If you want to play in

567
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 5: the NFL, go to the NFL.

568
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 3: As far as the Big Ten Conference, we could have

569
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: three separate teams three years in a row winning the

570
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 3: national title. What does it say about the Big Ten?

571
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 3: Or is it just Indiana happened to have its best

572
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 3: year ever and Michigan just happened to have this one

573
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 3: supreme year. Is to say something as a whole about

574
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 3: the league.

575
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 5: It says that they're just better. I mean, I've been

576
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 5: screaming this for a couple of years. They have more money, like,

577
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 5: they have better deals. They have now of course I

578
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 5: like Department of Texas and some of these other places.

579
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 5: They're just monsters and they're bigger than anybody else in

580
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 5: terms of the media rights deals, in terms of the

581
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,800
Speaker 5: market share. I mean, you know, think of what are

582
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 5: the big markets in the SEC Atlanta, Okay, you know, Dallas, Yeah,

583
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 5: I guess sure, Houston with Texas, A and m absolutely,

584
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 5: you know. But look what you got with you know,

585
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 5: with the Big Ten. You've got whatever New York is

586
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 5: for a market. You've got Chicago, You've got La You've

587
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 5: got all these big markets that and they just have

588
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 5: the better deals and a lot more dough and now

589
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,919
Speaker 5: it's going to get even weirder when you've got people

590
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 5: like Mark Cuban who are going to help out the

591
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 5: cause with Indiana and they just have the dough to

592
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:27,959
Speaker 5: keep this thing going. So it's a blip. I mean,

593
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 5: next year the SEC could go nine to zero in

594
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,680
Speaker 5: the bowls and you know, this is all just sort

595
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 5: of a quirky thing. Look, if they want to, like

596
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 5: Kicker puts it to the left, they lose. You know,

597
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 5: they're but for you know, a miss play by you know,

598
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 5: Dieo Pavio late and maybe Vanderbilt win. So this is

599
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 5: all kind of quirky. You know, Missouri came down to

600
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 5: the last play. I mean, you know, everyone's dunking on

601
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 5: the SEC. But it wasn't that bad. However, the apology

602
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 5: excuses to her by the SEC is insane. You can't

603
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 5: be the it just means more conference and then be like, wow,

604
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 5: these guys weren't really crying and bold.

605
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: Yeah all right. So lastly, I know, look, we got

606
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: ten days of the National Championhip Game. But right now

607
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: we've just we've talked to the last two nights. You've

608
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: seen both of these teams play. Give me your prediction

609
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: right now, we see the national title game Indiana Miami.

610
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,960
Speaker 5: What do you think I'm getting missing on Indiana? I

611
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 5: mean I picked them to beat Alabama, but I thought

612
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 5: I'll know would show up. And like I said, I

613
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 5: thought the Oregon was going to show up in this.

614
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 5: I'm not going to do that again. Seven and a

615
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 5: half is the early line. That seems like a lot

616
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 5: for this Miami team. But again, you know, how can

617
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,440
Speaker 5: you not know? This team is still focused, It doesn't

618
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 5: seem phased by anything. And again, well it might be

619
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 5: in Miami. That thing's going to be like seventy percent.

620
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 5: Who is your fan? So I got to pick Indiana

621
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 5: obviously because they're just playing that well right now. And look,

622
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 5: you mentioned the Big Ten before, like the least eight years,

623
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 5: there was a run of eighteen in nineteen years where

624
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 5: SEC team was in the We're in the national championship,

625
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 5: the over the Ohio State. Oregon gave them the first

626
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 5: College Football playoffschampionship with the one blip. Now you got

627
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 5: three straight, like you said, without an SEC team in it.

628
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 5: It's lonely for them.

641
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,240

647
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,480

Speaker 3: universe here.

651
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: So seven and a half points is your early line

652
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: for Indiana and Miami? Why are we seeing Indiana Miami?

653
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,680

655
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 3: They wipe the floor with him. I think that is

656
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 3: the correct answer. I'll take Hoosiers for two hundred. Alex. Yeah,

657
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 3: it's dominance, complete dominance for the number one team in

00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: to say right after Indiana pasted Oregon to go to

00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: the National Championship. I stop not that. No, no, no,

702
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:57,360

Speaker 1: We just watched Indiana put a clinic on against Oregon.

714
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: Indiana played great, Oregon did not fifty six twenty two.

715
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 1: So now Indiana and Miami into the National Championship game

716
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: on the nineteenth. And look, there's a lot of great

717
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,000
Speaker 1: things and some we're gonna make a big, bold prediction, built, big,

718
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 1: big hot take coming up in about ten minutes on

719
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 1: Indiana after winning this game tonight. But so much attention

720
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: on Kurt Signetti in the job he's done. Is Indiana's

721
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 1: head coach, and look getting the contract extension in just

722
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: in two years. They have a dynasty in Indiana. It's insane.

723
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: And he had a big comment yesterday, Steve on the

724
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: day before the game where he said, look, you know

725
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: I'm happy at times. You know, he's never happy on

726
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 1: the sideline. He's always upset. I think I think it

727
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 1: was performance art in the fourth quarter, like that he's

728
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,800
Speaker 1: scowling and mad and yelling after they block a punt

729
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: when they're up forty two thirteen. They have the ball

730
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 1: in the red zone, like, okay, you don't need to

731
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 1: be scouted. You don't need to be smiling and suddenly

732
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 1: going crazy. You don't need to dance around the field

733
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 1: like you're Robert Sola after a sack. But I mean,

734
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 1: come on, man, let's let's a little bit. You don't

735
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 1: need to be sitting there going okay. So I think

736
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:42,440
Speaker 1: a little bit of performance art.

737
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,880
Speaker 3: But there were times today where it seemed like a

738
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 3: smile was coming in to the face, and the way

739
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 3: he erased it was with not quite scowl, but kind

740
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 3: of a skew. Let's say the lips were going askew

741
00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,759
Speaker 3: to one side, like a somewhat disappointed look. And that's

742
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 3: how he rid himself of the thoughts of a smile

743
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 3: during a game.

744
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: Do you think he had like a there was a

745
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: like he had an ear piece in where someone was

746
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,799
Speaker 1: telling it to Hey, cameras on your cameras, right, can't

747
00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: smart smile, gotta look mad, gotta look bad, gotta be

748
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 1: always coaching, always coaching, always go ebc always be coaching.

749
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 3: There is no very good. There is no smirking at

750
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: what Mendoza has done in these two playoff games for Indiana.

751
00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 3: Because he still has more touchdown passes than incompletions thrown

752
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 3: in two playoff games combined eight tds, including the five

753
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: tonight five incompletions total in playing Alabama and Oregon.

754
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 1: So you would think, Okay, kurtz Signetti's gonna show up

755
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: and give his postgame press conversation. Well, there's some things

756
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: we gotta work on. Yeah, yeah, a game he play

757
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: almost bro, things got to work out. We got a

758
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,919
Speaker 1: really tough game coming up. However, we did not get

759
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: that from Kurt Signetty. We got what is going to

760
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: be a SoundBite. I'm sure we play on this show

761
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: for the next year plus. Tight Shirt's gonna hear it.

762
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna love it. This is Signetti off the field

763
00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: doing an interview with ESPN. He's asked about thinking about

764
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: Miami the National Championship, and this is Kurt Signetti's response,

765
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 1: this game, I'm really not thinking about the next game.

766
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about cracking open the beer.

767
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 3: Family.

768
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: Congrats, enjoy that beer, coach. I mean, what do you

769
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 1: say after that? That's great, coach, But one more question.

770
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: I just said, I want to go get a beer

771
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: because we just won the semi final. We're going to play.

772
00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to get a beer right now. Don't ask

773
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: me any more questions.

774
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 3: So he's in the heartland of America. He never wears

775
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 3: the blue collar, but this is gonna make him even

776
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 3: more beloved to the fan base.

777
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's so on brand for Kurt Signetti. Yeah,

778
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: we just won. I'm gonna go have a beer and

779
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: then I'm gonna get mad at my team and find

780
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 1: a way to motivate them to go play against Miami.

781
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:57,200
Speaker 3: And once he turns eighty years old, he'll become the

782
00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:59,840
Speaker 3: Colts coach and he'll stay in state. I can see

783
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 3: how all of this is going.

784
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,720
Speaker 1: I don't know, or does he win the national title

785
00:38:05,719 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 1: and then get the job right away, like if he wins,

786
00:38:08,239 --> 00:38:10,760
Speaker 1: if he if he if he beats Miami, does suddenly

787
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 1: the Colts go, hey, yeah, look look Shanstein, I'm been great. Yeah,

788
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 1: now you're gone.

789
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna wait until Philip Rivers turned sixty

790
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 3: and then at back as he joins the Colts and staces.

791
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,880
Speaker 1: Kind of like his quarterback offensive coordinator.

792
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 3: He could do both, actually literally do both. He could

793
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,240
Speaker 3: call his own plays. We could go old school NFL

794
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:31,480
Speaker 3: on that, sure.

795
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,399
Speaker 1: But I dig I'm thinking about cracking open a beer

796
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:37,160
Speaker 1: like like like, there's somebody in the locker room whose

797
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,680
Speaker 1: job it is, and if we win this game, you

798
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: have a beer ready for coach when he comes out. Okay,

799
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: you just you open it and you hand it to him.

800
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:47,919
Speaker 1: And it's not gonna be like Luca, where someone's gonna

801
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: come take it away from him. No. No, you hand

802
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: him that beer and you give that beer to coach.

803
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: You give him five minutes to enjoy this game.

804
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 3: Or this game was so lopsided he actually had time

805
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 3: on the sidelines during the game to think about such thing.

806
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,800
Speaker 3: It was forty two to seven in the third quarter.

807
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: We blocked that putt hey go grab me that course light.

808
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 1: It's just go into the into the locker room. It's

809
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: hit under the gator reader. Yeah, it's my at the

810
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: bottom right there. Just pull it out, Just bring it

811
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 1: out to me. Okay. Yeah, but yet put it in

812
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: the koozy, so nobody knows, all right, so nobody could tell.

813
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: Let's don't know.

814
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 3: If you saw the sixty minutes interview with Signetti and

815
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 3: about the Indiana program in general, and they even got

816
00:39:25,640 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 3: Mellencamp in there, and it was just it was if

817
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 3: you are a neutral fan of the sport of football,

818
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 3: and even not necessarily the Big Ten or college football,

819
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,399
Speaker 3: it was attractive. It's such a good story, and it's

820
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: getting better by the round, and it's not hyperbole when

821
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 3: these network guys can continually say this is the greatest

822
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 3: college football story of my lifetime.

823
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's it's so unlikely, it's I mean,

824
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: I think everybody needs a beer after that. I need

825
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: a beer after what we're gonna say about Indiana coming

826
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: up next. I'm gonna need a beer and I get

827
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: two with undefeated. Still, I mean, you're already seeing I'm

828
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: seeing trend on Twitter twenty twenty, Alabama twenty nineteen, LSU.

829
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:11,799
Speaker 1: You know, two of the best college football teams individually

830
00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 1: the last you know, a couple of decades in Miami.

831
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 3: Yet about what two thousand and three or two or

832
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 3: four or somewhere down there, they had a phenomenal roster.

833
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this is this is incredible. This is the

834
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: level of football we're talking about Indiana at. So yeah,

835
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,040
