11
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:53,160

00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,279

13
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:07,080

00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 5: in with me as always is Colin Wilson now no

15
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 5: longer with New Year's Eve plans because twenty twenty's last

16
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 5: middle finger canceling the Texas Bowl, which was going to

17
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 5: be the primetime bowl game on New Year's Eve? So

18
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 5: what have you? You've revised your plans? Are you still

19
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 5: just deciding to go down there? Have you got refunds?

20
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 5: What's going on now?

21
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: A ticketmaster has decided sixty days I will get my

22
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: money back as sixty days. I've heard some complaints from

23
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: other people that had Bowl cancelations, a few Iowa folks

24
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,919
Speaker 1: and my dms telling me that they were getting credit

25
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: through their ticket brokers for a future sporting event to

26
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: buy through their website as the where ticket Master is

27
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: going to give you my money sixty days later. So

28
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, Pandemic wins again. Pandemic is undefeated, you know,

29
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: and we got a Duke Maio Bowl broken. We're just

30
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: trying to get to the end of the football season

31
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: here without anything.

32
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 5: Catstrop never trust grammar Us with anything in his hands. Sorry,

33
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 5: if you had Wake that was I mean that would

34
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 5: have Wake had like three hundred more yards Wisconsin. I

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 5: think I had five drive, five touchdown drives under thirty

36
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 5: five yards. We'll catch up on the last couple of

37
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 5: nights of bowl games. Just if you want to throw

38
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 5: any comments out there. It's been a good start to

39
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 5: bowl season for me. I'm take eleven and six overall

40
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 5: with halftimes parlays, the whole should bang. But last night

41
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 5: I whiffed. I mean I was I had Miami in

42
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 5: a round robin, which doesn't look great now, and that

43
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 5: they were the better team. They dominated that game and

44
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,839
Speaker 5: then just no turn I mean they had the rest

45
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 5: were horrendous for them. They had three fumbles all recovered

46
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 5: by Oak State, an interception that was incorrect that should

47
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 5: have helped stood for Miami. Just had an awful, awful,

48
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 5: unlucky game for Miami. You should have won that game.

49
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 5: But then I had Colorado and the under way awful

50
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 5: those because little did I know that the backup quarterbacks.

51
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 5: I thought I was safe, Sam Allen Jo wasn't coming

52
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 5: out for the second half, and then this kid Thompson

53
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 5: comes in throws four touchdowns in the half and start

54
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 5: the Texas height. It's been a good start, but it's

55
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 5: all about your next bet and how you finish. Hopefully

56
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 5: Oklahoma can get it done tonight at plus three. Any

57
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 5: thoughts on do you buy Texas national title features before I.

58
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: Get to Texas. But it's been I just say it's

59
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: been that way for ball season for me. Like you

60
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: make a good call on Liberty, but then you bet

61
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: on Marshall and there's a ration of turnovers you bet on.

62
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: It's not been the easiest to predict of a ball season.

63
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: A motivation COVID setouts. I mean, think about how that

64
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: worked against us last night with Texas. Right we were

65
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: told this person's out, this person's out, Eagles, SI, all

66
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 1: these huge pieces are out. And then if I was

67
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 1: to tell you pregame without you knowing anything that Sam

68
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Ellinger was going to go out, would you not have

69
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: bet the house on Colorado, especially at that line. And

70
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: it turns out that it seems like everybody that's in

71
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: a backup position for the University of Texas is a

72
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: five star like blue blood. I mean like it looks

73
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: like an all star team. And I have to sit

74
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: there and question what Tom Herman is doing with his

75
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: program that you can plug all of these missing holes

76
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: and look like you should be winning a national championship. Now,

77
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: I did read that Colorado was below four players below

78
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: the minimum needed to go to a bowl game. Now,

79
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: obviously that's stop teams like TCU from wanting to go

80
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: to a bowl game. Colorado. I don't know if they

81
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: just needed the pub the recruiting, whatever money's associated. I

82
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: don't know why Colorado would play even though they fell

83
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: below the standard. But I mean to look at Texas's

84
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: second and third string do what they did. The hype

85
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 1: has already started, by the way sarcasm font the win

86
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: total is not going to be twelve and the National

87
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: Championship ods are not gonna be minus one fifty, but stuck.

88
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: We've been through this before. The hype is going to

89
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: be insane in the spring, The national championship talk is

90
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: going to be in July, the Herman train, he's going

91
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,239
Speaker 1: to bulldoze his kids in August, probably play the wrong people.

92
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: You know, we've been here before. So yeah, Texas will

93
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: be good next year. But they should be good considering

94
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: their backyard, which they get to pluck recruits from. What

95
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: they showed last night is what they should always be.

96
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 5: Ravery s.

97
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 3: Guys are wide and hut deep in the high Texas.

98
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, look, I have to give Texas credit.

99
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 5: Sometimes you're trying. They showed up from the start and

100
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 5: Herman wins another Bowl, and yeah, it's twenty twenty. You're

101
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 5: gonna have some great, some absolutely spectacular bowl calls. You're

102
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: gonna get breaks that go away, You're gonna people that

103
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 5: sit out there the team. You're gonna have some clunkers.

104
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 5: You just have to accept that. That's usually the case

105
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 5: in Bull season, but especially this year. All Right, so

106
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 5: let's get to this weekend. We have six additional bowls

107
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 5: to get to and the two college football playoff semifinals,

108
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 5: which we'll get to at the end. Let's start on Friday,

109
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 5: January first, twenty twenty one. Hopefully we can start out

110
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one with a winner. We're starting off noon

111
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,799
Speaker 5: Eastern on ESPN seven and two. Georgia ranked eighth against

112
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 5: nine and ow Cincinnati. Maybe slight at Cincinnati. This is

113
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 5: the Chick fil A Peach Bowl at bet MGM. Right now,

114
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 5: George's a six and a half point favorite over under

115
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 5: fifty and a half. This game noon Eastern on ESPN

116
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 5: in Atlanta at Mercedes Benz Stadium. When I look at

117
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 5: this game, there's a couple questions that I have that

118
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 5: maybe you could help me answer. I took the plus

119
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 5: seven with Cincinnati. I think that they're going to come

120
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 5: here fired up. Fickle always has his team ready, Marcus

121
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 5: Freeman with some time to prep with this defense, and

122
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 5: this defense is very good. This three three five, it's

123
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 5: number two in pass efficiency defense. You have a Garner

124
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 5: and Brian at corner. You have three really good safeties

125
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 5: and Hicks Forrest and Wiggins, and they're really stout up

126
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 5: front too. They can get pressure on the edge without

127
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,840
Speaker 5: even blitzing, but they will blitz, will play a lot

128
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 5: of pressed man on the outside. You know, Sanders and

129
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 5: Potter off the Edgerric great. Their linebackers are just really solid,

130
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 5: a little undersized, but they don't really make mistakes in White,

131
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 5: Deblanco and Vin Rinkle. It's just a really good defense

132
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 5: and well coached. And Marcus Streeman will probably come up

133
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 5: with a new wrinkle here with Tynan Berbert, as he

134
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 5: normally does, is one of my favorite coordinators in college football.

135
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 5: They run a three three five or they've ran it

136
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 5: three three five for most of the year. I think

137
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 5: in the AEC Championship they were a little fatigued and rusty.

138
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 5: They were all for a while without COVID, so I

139
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 5: think a lot of that will go away, and they

140
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 5: will be going up against a Georgia offense that has

141
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 5: seemingly found its footing with JT. Daniels at quarterback. I mean,

142
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: this is a Georgia offense that was very underwhelming with

143
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 5: Stetson Vennet at quarterback. But the question is with JT. Daniels,

144
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 5: he what he threw for like eight hundred and thirty

145
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 5: eight yards, nine touchdowns and one interception a three games

146
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 5: and he can push the ball down the field more

147
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 5: Southern Ben, and that's what you have to do against

148
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 5: the Sincy teams. You're gonna play press man on the outside.

149
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 5: You have to beat them deep. But he The question

150
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 5: is is Daniel's in this offense for real or is

151
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 5: it more of a factor of who they've played. You know,

152
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 5: they played Missouri ninety first in pass efficiency defense, South

153
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 5: Carolina one hundred and eighteenth, miss State eighty second since

154
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 5: the number two, so this is obviously a big step

155
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 5: up Georgia's defense. Three man front, Davis Herring Wott up front.

156
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 5: They don't get a ton of pressure or Philip Destatui,

157
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,200
Speaker 5: but they plug holes, they take up blocks, and they

158
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 5: open up space for Georgia's linebackers, mainly Monty Rice, but

159
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 5: he's out. There's also a lot of other outouts with Georgia.

160
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 5: Trey Hill, Ben Cleveland Trail has been out with an injury.

161
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 5: But Ben Cleveland's gonna play in the NFL starting guard

162
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 5: he's out. Their corners Eric Stokes and DJ Daniel both

163
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 5: are out, so you're basically just gonna have one normal

164
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: starter and someone new uh in at corner for Georgia.

165
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 5: Jermaine Johnson's second in sacks, he's out. It does look

166
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 5: like Ojo ORLEI will play who leads the team in sacks,

167
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 5: the count their star state. He's gonna try and come back.

168
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 5: I think I imagine that he'll be limited. But basically,

169
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 5: when I look at this game, I think that since

170
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 5: he's gonna play the disrespect card, they're gonna show up.

171
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 5: Does Georgia two years ago some of the opt outs

172
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 5: that came out flat? Last year they had some off

173
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 5: that's not this many, and they were able to win

174
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 5: and beat Baylor. What this comes down to to me

175
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 5: is Ken Cincinnati Ken desert because George's run defense is

176
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 5: excellent and they're built to stop like a power run game.

177
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,319
Speaker 5: Passive paste doesn't been that great, and now they have

178
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 5: guys out and Desmond Ritter in this RPO and the

179
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 5: intermediate passing attack attack this Georgia secondary and on the

180
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 5: flip side, then J T. Daniels beat the Cincinnati defense deep.

181
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 5: I think there's value the number the opt outs for Georgia.

182
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 5: I knew they were coming, so I took Cincy plus seven.

183
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 5: I like them at seven or above. I think they'll

184
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 5: have a shot to win this game.

185
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: Let's say you, yeah, seven is the number that you want,

186
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: and I think since he is the side that you want,

187
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,319
Speaker 1: you know, Desmond Ritter has been explosive both with his

188
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: legs and through the air, and you're going to have

189
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: success against Georgia who's eighty first in the country and

190
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: defensive passing success rate. And Richard LeCount is the biggest

191
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: name that you mentioned there. He's out was out with

192
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: a concussion, talk of maybe he'll play in this game.

193
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 1: I can't understand why he would considering, you know, if

194
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: he's not clear from concussion protocol. So we'll see. But

195
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of loss on the Georgia side

196
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: of the football with the defense, and I think that

197
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: plays in a Desmond who's been just a one man

198
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: wrecking crew through AAC play and that kind of brings

199
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: up the point of strength to schedule. Like Cincinnati strength

200
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 1: of schedules eighty first, George's is seventh. So when you

201
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 1: throw out the stats like Cincinnati's thirteenth and finishing drives,

202
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: you got to consider the competition that they went up against.

203
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: Despite all of that, I think Cincinnati is going to

204
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 1: cover this game. But I think the sneaky play on

205
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: this is the over. You think of Cincinnati, you think

206
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: one of the best defenses, definitely the best defense in

207
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: the group of you think at Georgia. They were being

208
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: branded as the best defense in the country leading into

209
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: that Alabama game. But if you go up against these

210
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: two what they've done recent recent games. Georgia's gone over

211
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: in six of their last seven games. Cincinnati's gone over

212
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: in four of their last five. Now on the Georgia side,

213
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 1: that's all JT. Daniels. JD daniels last three games. I mean,

214
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: he is getting better and better, more health I mean,

215
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: I guess now we can see the reason why it

216
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: took so long to get him in and Stephan Bennett

217
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: had to play in that Alabama game. What would life

218
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: be like if he was there for Florida, if he

219
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 1: was there fully healthy for Alabama. I guess we'll have

220
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: to wait next year and see. And frankly, this is

221
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: a big game for me to watch JT. Daniels to

222
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: assess what the Georgia futures are going to be next year.

223
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure how much the run ratio is

224
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: going to be On the Georgia side. They did run

225
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: at fifty seven percent throughout the year, but the tendency

226
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: has kind of fallen too the pass since JT. Daniels

227
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: has gotten more healthy, and I think they're going to

228
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: have success there throwing through there. I think both teams

229
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: are going to have success with explosive plays. Retractable roof

230
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: going to be closed. There is rain the area, but

231
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: it's retractable roof. It's going to be closed or whatever

232
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: that thing is. It's not a retractable roof. It's kind

233
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: of like a portal looking thing. But it should be

234
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 1: a fast track and I think that plays into some scores,

235
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: some explosiveness coming from both offenses. The defensive numbers for Cincinnati,

236
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 1: I mean they can be scored on. I know their

237
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 1: pass coverage grade is second, and I know they're finishing

238
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: drives on defense is seventh. But you got to look

239
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: at the slate of offenses they've gone up against. It

240
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: just it hasn't been a real dynamic set of you know,

241
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: explosive weapons. And this is a huge, I mean size

242
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: wise physicality. This is some Cincinnati may not be prepared for.

243
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: My favorite play in this game is the over. I

244
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: like Cincinnati to keep up with Georgia every step of

245
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: the way.

246
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Cincinnati does face some good passing offenses

247
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 5: in the AAC at least, right I'm really interested to

248
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 5: see what Freeman draws up here. There is a chance

249
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,200
Speaker 5: that Georgia just doesn't show up. I think that they

250
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,839
Speaker 5: will from everything that I've read. Look, they're playing Cincinnati,

251
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 5: a group of five team. They don't want it to

252
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,479
Speaker 5: be embarrassed. But we've seen to SEC teams after disappointing

253
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 5: years lose in this spot to Central Florida, another AAC team.

254
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 5: So I think that I know that since will show

255
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 5: up with something to prove. There's a slight chance that

256
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 5: Georgia just kind of goes through the motions that has

257
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 5: to work in Sincey's favor as well.

258
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: The mindset though, you got to remember the mindset with

259
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: these SEC teams. LSU played Central Florida last year, two

260
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 1: years ago and beats the livid shit out of them.

261
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 1: And why is that? Because LC wasn't expected to go

262
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: to the SEC Championship. They didn't lose SEC Championship game,

263
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: they didn't have any expectations coming in other than hearing

264
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,440
Speaker 1: that Central Florida was the greatest team in the history

265
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,719
Speaker 1: of non Power five schools and LSU beat them and

266
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: covered the spread. Now in Georgia or any other SEC

267
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: team loses their conference championship game and then they end

268
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: up going to these New Year six games. They suck.

269
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they could beat they they can't win games,

270
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 1: they can't cover, they can't do anything. As we you

271
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: and I are talking right before the Florida kick. These

272
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: SEC championship game losers are the ones that are given

273
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: the bad rap. These teams that don't have SEC championship expectations,

274
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: like Georgia is in this case, should show up and

275
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: they have in the past.

276
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kirby spart two years ago when they got drilled

277
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 5: by Texas, they had a bunch of guys that they

278
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 5: were a couple guys that set out that came with

279
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 5: the team. And then last year another disappointing year. And

280
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 5: at the end of the season when they beat Bail

281
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 5: they had a couple guys set out, but he got

282
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 5: them away from the team and he did that again

283
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 5: this year, and I think that that's his approach which

284
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 5: works for the better for just the entire mindset of

285
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 5: the team. So it should be a fun one.

286

00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 5: we'll go to another SEC team.

298
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: You're gonna have to drink for this one, right, I

299
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 1: mean I'm gonna be at least a bottle of champagne

300
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 1: deep to watch Northwestern Auburn play offense.

301
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is gonna be ugly. Northwestern Auburn in the

302
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 5: Citrus Bowl Camping World Stadium, Orlando, fart A, one pm

303
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 5: Eastern on ABC at bet MGM. Right now, Northwestern's a

304
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 5: three point favorite over under forty three and a half.

305
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 5: There are some opt outs actually on both sides. On

306
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 5: Northwestern to their number one corner, Greg Newson wasn't a

307
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: first team all. I think it was first team All American.

308
00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 5: He won't play, one of their best pass rushers won't play,

309
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 5: and potentially their best receiver. They also using the running game.

310
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 5: He entered the transfer portal. And then on the Auburn side,

311
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 5: you have three recent opt outs in safety Jamien Sherwood,

312
00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 5: wide receiver Anthony Schwartz he's kind of the burner, and

313
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 5: then their starting nickelback Christian Todd. They're all out Northwestern.

314
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 5: Their defense has been very good, especially their their pass coverage.

315
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 5: But they will be without Newsom, which is worth noting.

316
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 5: But the other players in the secondary have been very

317
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 5: good all year. I think the only team that score

318
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 5: over twenty two points against them all year with Michigan State.

319
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 5: That's pretty crazy considering they they Ohio State defense has

320
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 5: been really good. The offense has been disgusting. There's nothing

321
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 5: good you can say about this offense. They're a little

322
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 5: better than last year with Peyton Ramsey. He's the efficiency

323
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 5: in the passing game is a little better, but they

324
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 5: can't run the ball. There's no explosive there's nothing downfield.

325
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 5: The offensive line isn't great. It's fish Ramsey. Can you

326
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 5: quick pass and sustain some drives? That's basically it. But

327
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 5: the defense is excellent. They're gonna be great in the

328
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 5: red zone as normal. They're gonna ugly up, muck up games,

329
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 5: find a way to stay in games and try to

330
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 5: find a way to win lad that's the Batfit shild way.

331
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 5: Auburn interim coach here Kevin Steel their defensive coordinator because

332
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 5: Gus Mazan is gone oh next season in full.

333
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 4: Effect season then full effect.

334
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 5: The offense for Auburn has been okay on the ground,

335
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 5: lacking through the air. Bo Nicks has not had a

336
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 5: great year, but he can use his legs. Tank Bigsby

337
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 5: can use his legs, and if you're going to move

338
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 5: the ball in this Northwestern defense, you have to do

339
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 5: it on the ground. So how much success can Auburn

340
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 5: have there? Because rewind back to the Big Ten Championship,

341
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 5: Trey Sermon went right for three hundred yards against Northwestern.

342
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 5: That's how you have to beat this team, especially when

343
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 5: you have an anemic passing attack like Alburn. Maybe Seth

344
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 5: Williams can have a day without Greg Newsom out there,

345
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 5: but you just can't really rely on this Alburn passing attack,

346
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 5: especially against a good pass defense like Northwestern. What do

347
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 5: you see here.

348
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: Well, I mean the biggest thing is like who's calling

349
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 1: the place for Auburn, right, Gus Maleson's out, Chad Moore's

350
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: is out. Kevin Steele interim coach for this, we're in

351
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: a lame duck situation with Brian Harrison coming in from Boise.

352
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 1: I think the players are, you know, probably in the

353
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: mindset that they got to show off for their new coach,

354
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: or maybe they're competing for spots. It was a tough

355
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 1: year for Auburn in the first place, replacing everybody in

356
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: the trench on both sides of the ball, so they

357
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: were immediately behind the eight ball when it comes to,

358
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: you know, trying to build from you know, the trench

359
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 1: out in the sec which you really kind of have

360
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: to do. Auburn is always in trouble, and now with

361
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: Shorts not there that it really you know, puts focus

362
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: on the other weapons that Bonix has. Northwestern is good

363
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 1: at making you look bad on offense. It's what they

364
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: did to justin Fields without Chris Olave, Fields at times

365
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: could not find some of his other targets. And you know,

366
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:36,120
Speaker 1: Northwestern has been pretty good at coming up clutch when

367
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 1: their backs are up against the end zone. The problem

368
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: is that the offense is just absolutely disgusting, and so

369
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: the question should be at Camping World Stadium, are we

370
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 1: going to take an under on a game, you know,

371
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: this early in the day, on New Year's Day, with

372
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 1: a number you know, so low at forty three. I

373
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: project a number at forty eight. But I mean, we're

374
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,520
Speaker 1: really looking at a special teams play, which Auburn is

375
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: twenty second special teams, or we're looking at an Oski

376
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: a picks, you know, getting taken back and scoring from

377
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: that route. I mean this, it's really tough for me.

378
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: I know that Auburn is fantastic at tackling, Northwestern is not.

379
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: I think there's a motivation factor here. I'm not sure

380
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: Auburn's players want to be here. A Northwestern, on the

381
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: other hand, I mean, Pats Cats. He's gonna have them

382
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:19,639
Speaker 1: riled up, ready to go.

383
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 4: Cats Cats.

384
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:25,359
Speaker 1: As far as the side, I make the game a

385
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,159
Speaker 1: coin flip, so you know, I would absolutely end up

386
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: taking the doggie. I think points are you know, definitely

387
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: at a premium in this game, which makes sadly taking

388
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: Auburn the side. I projected it one and a half

389
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: for Northwestern to be the favorite, so three and a

390
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: half is a little bit high. But for me, I

391
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: don't know how you don't take it under. I would

392
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:44,639
Speaker 1: take a first half under here absolutely. I don't know

393
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: who is scoring points. If you look at the advanced numbers,

394
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: Auburn has a third strength of schedule in Northwestern twenty ninth.

395
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: Really short, really short schedule there in the Big Ten

396
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,639
Speaker 1: for Northwestern. Not much to lean back on. But there

397
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: are things that we can see that Northwestern is really

398
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: bad at. One of them is lyneyards a hundred. It's

399
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 1: almost dead last on the nation. They can't rush the

400
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: ball whatsoever.

401
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 5: They're good at.

402
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: Protecting Peyton Ramsey, they're not really good at getting the

403
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: ball pass ten yards down the field. So I don't

404
00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: see a route for a ton of points. I'd love

405
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: to make the case for the over. The only way

406
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: I can make the case for the over is if

407
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: there's turnovers or if they're special teams, and that's almost

408
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: impossible to handicap. So I'm gonna stick with a first

409
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: half under. I still don't know who's calling the place

410
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: for Auburn, Like I literally Chad Morris Gus males On out.

411
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: What is the playbook gonna be you know, missing Schwartz.

412
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: I mean there's part of your screen pass most most

413
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 1: of the targets and your screen pass game are gone.

414
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen on Auburn's offensive side,

415
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: but I do know that Northwestern is incapable of scoring points.

416
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: And take this. I mean we're not. This isn't a

417
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: podcast that relies on trends or anything, but these teams

418
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: they combined this year to go three and fifteen to

419
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: the over. Three of the eighteen games these these teams

420
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 1: were involved in went over the to Auburn. More specifically,

421
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 1: they never went over the total away from home. They

422
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: never went over the total away from Jordan Hare. Northwestern

423
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: one and seven on the season to the over. So

424
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 1: you know, these are two extremely under teams considering the

425
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,240
Speaker 1: day of the year it's being played on and the

426
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: early earliness in the day, and there's no offensive coordinator around.

427
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm just taking a blindly taking a first half under.

428
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think north West is going to miss McAllen too.

429
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,199
Speaker 5: I mean he's their second leading receiver. They use him

430
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 5: in the run game as well. I think he carried

431
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 5: like twenty five times six yards of carry. But the

432
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,920
Speaker 5: difference here for Northwestern could have could end up being

433
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 5: the third downs. Now they you know the reason that

434
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 5: the sackoverers are good. They just a quick passing attack.

435
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 5: Ramsey can be a decently efficient in that department. Alburn's

436
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 5: third down defense is horrendous, giving up conversions on fifty

437
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 5: percent of opponent attempts, and Northwestern's defense, as you might

438
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,359
Speaker 5: expect on third downs, is a lot better. So will

439
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 5: north at Western be able with that short passing attack

440
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 5: be able to sustain drives a little better than Aubourne.

441
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 5: That could end up being the difference.

442
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: If you hate ball games, go listen to NPR.

443
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 4: Right.

444
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 5: We have two Contowell plaoff games on Friday as well. Unfortunately,

445
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 5: the appetizers Alburn, Northwestern, at least Georgia Cincinnati's a good

446
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 5: aptizers and they're kind of simultaneous. But we'll come back

447
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 5: to those. Let's get let's cross off. We'll go pretty

448
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 5: quickly through the four bowls on Saturday. We will start

449
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 5: Saturday at noon in the tax Slayer Gator Bowl NC

450
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 5: State against Kentucky at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Florida,

451
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 5: noon Eastern on ESPN these teams went once back in

452
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 5: the seventies. Kentucky one twenty seven to two. It's a

453
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 5: pretty trying season for Kentucky. Just a lot of really

454
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 5: emotional things happening, and losing a coach, that kid, medical diagnosis,

455
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 5: just a lot of emotional things about a deal with

456
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 5: in the COVID year they were talking to They working

457
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 5: to accept the ball, but they did. They will play

458
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,479
Speaker 5: in ce State. They're seeking their third straight Bowl victory.

459
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: And the records in here.

460
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 5: Don't be fooled by the records. Kentucky's four and six,

461
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 5: they're two and a half point favorites that betum GM

462
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 5: over under fifteen and a half. NC State's eight and three. Well, Kentucky,

463
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 5: for their six losses came against teams in the top

464
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 5: eight of the final College to Wall playoff rankings. NC State,

465
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 5: who last made a ball in twenty eighteen. Actually here

466
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 5: at the Gator Bowl. They got drilled by Texas A

467
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 5: and M, who they really beat. Liberty is their best win.

468
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 5: Should have lost. They they've They're four to zero in

469
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 5: one possession games. I think their average winning margin is

470
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 5: like plus one point, so they've won a lot of

471
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 5: close games. They've beat up on the bottom of the

472
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 5: barrel in the ACC. I'm not a fan of this team. Now,

473
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 5: what you should be a fan of with NC State

474
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 5: is their defensive line. They play a unique three three

475
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 5: to five defense. They're gonna blitz from all over. Alneil

476
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 5: is a monster at nose tackle. It's gonna play on Sundays.

477
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 5: He just eats blocks, eats blocks, the athletic freak too,

478
00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 5: and then he freeze up Peyton Wilson at linebacker, who

479
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 5: just makes a million tackles led the ACC of tackles.

480
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 5: They were fifth in the nation in tackles for lost

481
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 5: ninth and sacks per game. So it's a really good

482
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 5: pass it's a really good pass rush. The defense overall

483
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 5: is not great, but Kentucky has a really good offensive line.

484
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 5: They can handle this front, and Kentucky is not really

485
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 5: gonna be passing. Now. It's worth noting that there's a

486
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 5: new coordinator, Big Dog Vince Mara has taken over play

487
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 5: calling for Kentucky, who fired their offensive coordinator. But what

488
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,000
Speaker 5: this Kentucky team was They have no passing game, zero none.

489
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 5: I mean, maybe they try to throw it, but I

490
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 5: doubt they do so. Like the NC State pass rush

491
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 5: just kind of neutralized here. It's not gonna matter. You

492
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 5: can beat this NC State team with ground and pound,

493
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 5: which is what Kentucky can do. In the three games

494
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 5: NFC State lost, it gave up an average of two

495
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 5: hundred and seventy six rushing yards per game. Kentucky also

496
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 5: has familiarity with seeing this defense. Mississippi State three three

497
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 5: five similar stack. They faced it this year Tennessee Martin

498
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 5: I forget someone they faced last year and an SCS

499
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 5: team played a similar defense, so they have experienced seeing it.

500
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 5: They'll have extra time to prepare here. I think that

501
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 5: they can have success on the ground, and Kentucky's defense

502
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 5: kind of a ben don't break defense. They really kind

503
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 5: of blow up in the red zone. They don't get

504
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 5: up any explosive plays, and that's really how NC State

505
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,200
Speaker 5: makes their living. It might look funny to see Kentucky

506
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 5: two and a half point favorites here. I know my

507
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 5: voicemail caller, the Dave Dord fan isn't gonna like this,

508
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 5: but I'm kind of leaning towards the Cats here. What

509
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 5: say you?

510
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 1: Yeah? I like the Cats. I power in it. You know,

511
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: minus two and a half, So I think there's not

512
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: much value here on Kentucky, but I really like the

513
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: under for a lot of things that you said that

514
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: favor Kentucky, and and that is limiting explosiveness. And that's

515
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: the reason that we have backed Kentucky in certain spots

516
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: of the season is because of their defense. Offensively, they're

517
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 1: extremely slow seconds per one hundred and eighteenth in the nation.

518
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: They can control the trench their top twenty and rushing

519
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,399
Speaker 1: success right on offense, so you know, and they run

520
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: the ball sixty three percent of the time. So this

521
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: is a team that can assert their will on the

522
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 1: ground on the offensive side at a very slow pace.

523
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: And then defensively their top twenty five in tackling their

524
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 1: nineteenth against rush exposiveness, they're eighth against pass exposiveness. They're

525
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: going to be able to shut down anything the wolf

526
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 1: Pack wants to do down the field. Now, Kentucky doesn't

527
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 1: take the ball away from you, so I'm not expecting

528
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: them to come up with a bunch of turnovers and

529
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 1: creating quick scoring opportunities like we've seen that as some

530
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: of these other bowls. But I think it's really important

531
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: to note also that Kentucky hass faced the eight strongest

532
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,120
Speaker 1: strength of schedule this season and it's he stayed sixty eight,

533
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: So I think it's a you know, even though we

534
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: put these numbers up against each other and the numbers

535
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: say the Kentucky's defense is going to shut down Nasty State,

536
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: consider the numbers that Kentucky put together were against SEC play.

537
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: So I like Kentucky in this game. I think the

538
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: fifties should be closer to around forty seven. I like

539
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: the under. We'll see how much more floats. But but yeah,

540
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: definitely here going going with SEC over in C State

541
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 1: and INC State's kind of been smoking mirrors all season.

542
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 5: Completely a great if you don't bet on a bowl,

543
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 5: the bowl even exist. All right, let's move on to

544
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 5: another SEC team. We gotta talk some Lane Train twelve

545
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 5: thirty Eastern on ABC, The Outback Bowl. That's a restaurant

546
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,480
Speaker 5: that you loved as a kid and then you get

547
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,399
Speaker 5: older and you're like, eh, I don't know.

548
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 1: I eat all his bread and fried fried bloomin onion.

549
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 5: I do love I mean the bloomin onion. Yeah, if

550
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 5: you put the Bloomin onion in front of me, I'll

551
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 5: fuck with it. But I love their guilty pleasure, their

552
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,479
Speaker 5: Austin cheese fries. I remember reading one time they were

553
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 5: like it was like the unhealthiest foods in the world

554
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 5: from like chain restaurants, and that that was like the

555
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 5: Austine cheese fries were like four trillion calories. Altec Steakhouse,

556
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 5: no rules, just right, all right, But it's the out

557
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 5: Back Bowl Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. We have ole

558
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,240
Speaker 5: Miss two third Eastern ABC. Ole Miss at bet MGM

559
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 5: is a nine point underdog against Indiana over under sixty

560
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 5: five and a half. I mean, look, there's not much

561
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 5: that I can really say about ole Miss's It's pretty

562
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 5: They're pretty easy to describe. Their offense all year has

563
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 5: been unbelievable through the air, just an extremely efficient passing

564
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 5: tack But now they're without two of their best receiving receivers.

565
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 5: They also had a couple other injuries to a few

566
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 5: of their other skill position players in their finale against LSU.

567
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,439
Speaker 5: But the offense has been really good. The defense has

568
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,840
Speaker 5: been so bad. It's almost hard to explain how bad

569
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 5: this defense has been for a Bowl team. I mean,

570
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 5: this has to be the worst BOWLD defense we've ever seen. Like,

571
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 5: if you go down the list of like metrics, you're

572
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 5: seeing ole Miss sometimes in like the bottom five. Those

573
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,040
Speaker 5: teams don't usually make a Bowl. So their defense is horrendous.

574
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 5: They go really fast, but they're not a full strength

575
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 5: on offense. Now Indiana, They're offense has been really bad.

576
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 5: They've been fortunate in turnovers. I believe they've been out

577
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 5: gained on the year, but it's it's been a good

578
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 5: year for Indiana. Their defense has been okay, but there's

579
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 5: flaws on this team. This is a really hard game

580
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 5: for me to cap ole Miss. Their offense is it's

581
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 5: just not it's still not a full strength. They were

582
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 5: still able to move it against LSU, but the defense

583
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 5: is just so bad. I don't know if I can

584
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 5: trust them. But is Indiana the team to exploit it?

585
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 5: Help me? Help me out here in this game. It's

586
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:26,719
Speaker 5: a tricky one.

587
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is because Lane Kiffin has said every single

588
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: day that we are going to have a real problem

589
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 1: making this Bowl game because of the number of COVID

590
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 1: issues that we're having. And that's just you know, flashing

591
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: red lights to me that I don't care what this

592
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: number is. If it's seven, if it's eight, if it's nine,

593
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 1: How can I back all miss up when I know

594
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore is not going to play. I know their

595
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: tight end is not going to play. I don't know

596
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: what they're gonna put on top receivers, yeah, two top receivers.

597
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna put on the field

598
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 1: and stucks right. Everything on their defensive side is blood red.

599
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,320
Speaker 1: Some of the worst numbers, I mean almost dead last

600
00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: and defensive drives. You look at Indiana powered by their

601
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: defense the entire season. There was really, you know, some

602
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,960
Speaker 1: luck and some field position that I'm not going to

603
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: say they are a lucky offense. I'm going to say

604
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: that they had great field position, they came up big

605
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: when they needed to on third downs. I don't want

606
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 1: to call them lucky because they're not. They were talented

607
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: and they've been decent, you know, ever since the Ohio

608
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: State game and getting points up on the board.

609
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's worth voting that. Like their third quarterback now

610
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 5: hasn't been their quarterback all year.

611
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: And when you look at total and when he showed

612
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: up to play, he was just as efficient as you

613
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 1: know in some parts as Michael Pennix junior. So he

614
00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: is capable of running the offense. So What that tells

615
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 1: me is that when I have an ole Miss defense

616
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 1: that I know is terrible, and I'm not talking like

617
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: just bad a SEC, I'm talking bad as like on

618
00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: a U MES level, and I have an Indiana offense

619
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: that is capable, then I don't want to mess with

620
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: the full game total which is falling in the market,

621
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: and I don't want to mess with an inflated spread.

622
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: I want an Indiana team total over. I feel feel

623
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 1: confident that they're going to get enough possessions. I feel

624
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: confident they're going to move the ball on this ole

625
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 1: Miss offense. And because Old Miss is the third fastest

626
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: tempo in the nation, we could be looking at seventeen

627
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 1: possessions here for Indiana. I think in Indiana team total

628
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 1: over is a wiser player than taking a completely inflated spread.

629
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 1: We have no clue how Old Miss is coming into

630
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: this game, who's going to be available, other than they're

631
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: missing their top two targets. For me, it's hoosiers and

632
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 1: points and just isolate the bet on that and call

633
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 1: it a day.

634
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, maybe you'll convince me to go there after the

635
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 5: College to Wall playoffs ONIM My final though, for everyone

636
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 5: wondering I've been twinnking some home court. It's full speed

637
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 5: ahead with college basketball on a daily basis, so I

638
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 5: will probably have a big card on Saturday. But yeah,

639
00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 5: I mean, out of all the options, that might be

640
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 5: the wisest one.

641
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 7: Full game theater. Catch it all, right, Let's.

642
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 5: Move on to the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl four pm Easter

643
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 5: and Saturday on ESPN in State Farms Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.

644
00:31:57,720 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 5: Iowa State Oregon at BETMGM. Iowa State four and a

645
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 5: half point favored over under fifty seven and a half

646
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 5: seeing you know, look, I had a lot of questions

647
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 5: about the Pac twelve this year. It was hard to

648
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 5: figure out who teams were. Small sample size of the games.

649
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 5: They got a late start, and I think that these

650
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 5: a lot of these teams were behind the eight ball

651
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 5: kind of all season. And then seeing Colorado doesn't give

652
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 5: me much faith in how the Path twelve looks. The

653
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 5: Oregon defense was pretty bad all year. The one thing

654
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 5: that they did was they didn't really give up explosive

655
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 5: plays through the air. But that's not really what Iowa

656
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 5: State does. Iowa State should be able to from an

657
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 5: efficiency standpoint, through the air with rock Party and those

658
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 5: tight ends moved the ball efficiently and then brace Hall

659
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,479
Speaker 5: on the ground should have a day against this Oregon

660
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 5: defense that lost a lot, and the offense they had

661
00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 5: some good numbers. But let's look at the competition in

662
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 5: the PAC twelve. In the PAC twelve Championship against USC,

663
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 5: they they wouldn't even throw it downfield. I wouldn't even

664
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 5: trust Shuck to throw it downfield. And they're going up

665
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 5: against a very good Iowa State defense. It's hard for

666
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 5: It's gonna be hard for me. Not the back October.

667
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:23,959
Speaker 5: Here in this January, Brockuary, what do you see here?

668
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 1: I'm taking orgon in this game, and I'm taking the

669
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 1: over did some research. Wow, Listen, I've been in the

670
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: casino before, I've been gambling, and when I'm on house money,

671
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: it just seems to keep rolling, you know, I mean

672
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: like you have when you feel peeled of any pressure whatsoever,

673
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: which Oregon arguably shouldn't have been in the PAC twelve

674
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: Championship game, but they didn't get a chance to face Washington.

675
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: That game with Washington was gonna turn determine who played USC.

676
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: They get the buy into the Pactorald Championship, they win

677
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: the Pac Twelve Championship and now they're in the Fiesta Bowl.

678
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: They're on house money, Christ of Ball, Joe moorehead, you

679
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: know Andy Abolos, who's being pressured by Boise to come

680
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,720
Speaker 1: back and be the head coach there. These three head

681
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: coaches should be commended for the way that they finished

682
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 1: the season. Now, if you look at this schematically, Iowa

683
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,000
Speaker 1: State and really I just kind of did this in

684
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: some of my research for the Big twelve Championship. It

685
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: really came up here. How they have gotten better, especially

686
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball this year, where

687
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: it's not just been take Rock party in October, it's

688
00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's been Iowa State, you can trust them

689
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: all year round. Is that they have thrown in so

690
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: much more thirteen personnel and if you're not familiar with

691
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: what that is, that's a three tight end set. And

692
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,479
Speaker 1: the reason why they did that is because brock Perty

693
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: is one of the worst quarterbacks in the nation. With pressure,

694
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: he turns them all over. He's inaccurate, he's just not

695
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: the same. But when he has a clean pocket and

696
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 1: he has a good look, kids amazing. And so they

697
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:52,720
Speaker 1: started running last year. I think they ran somewhere around

698
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: five percent of plays we're in the thirteen this year,

699
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: twenty five percent. Twenty five percent of plays were with

700
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: a three tight end format, and they're using a lot

701
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: of prestat motion. It has given him extra time, it's

702
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,719
Speaker 1: giving him extra blockers, and if you look at this

703
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 1: Oregon defense, I don't think they're right there yet to

704
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: be able to stop anybody. The only thing on this

705
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 1: Oregon defense that is a constant is Cavon Thibodeau. Thibodeau

706
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: is one of the most menacing pass rushers in college

707
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,239
Speaker 1: football right now. I know that Oregon sacrate is ninety

708
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: fourth in the country, but Thibodeau is a legit monster.

709
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,959
Speaker 1: I think he's going to get some pressure on Brock

710
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: pretty but at the same time, Purty's releasing the ball

711
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: a lot faster. The three tight end set has been

712
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: real helpful for him to get points on the board.

713
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 1: I love the over end this game. Joe Moorehead what

714
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 1: he's been able to do with a completely clean slate.

715
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: This was the lowest returning production in all of college

716
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,720
Speaker 1: football this year. Morehead steps in a completely different scheme

717
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: from Marcus Arroyo, completely different what he's been able to

718
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,719
Speaker 1: do and get Tyler Shubb, you know, connecting their top

719
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: ten and rushing success right top set. You know, the

720
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: top twenty in passing success rate, top twenty in explosiveness.

721
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: And that's where the handicap in this game comes. Because

722
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 1: Iowa State is one hundred and eleven the defending pass

723
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 1: explosiveness and Oregon is sixteenth at getting it down the field.

724
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 1: You better bet that Joe Morehead is going to have

725
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: Tyler Schuk throwing this ball over that back five of

726
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: the three three five. I think this game has explosive

727
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: plays written all over it, and Thibodau is gonna get

728
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 1: his shots in on Brock Party. I love Oregon in

729
00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:29,720
Speaker 1: this game. I think there's a ton of points.

730
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 5: I'm going to disagree with you here. We've been on

731
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,960
Speaker 5: the same page pretty much. But I mean Oregon's defense.

732
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 5: I don't see how they get any stops. Thibodeau have

733
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,279
Speaker 5: like twelve sacks. This defense is really bad. Not all

734
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 5: of it was their fault. They had a bunch of

735
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,920
Speaker 5: opt outs of pros on the back end. But I

736
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 5: mean Oregon's you say, and you're right with their past

737
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 5: explosive numbers, but they played Washington State u CLA Oregon

738
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 5: State cal USC, and they couldn't even throw it against USC,

739
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 5: So I don't necessarily think that, you know, it might

740
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 5: be kind of fraudulent numbers based on the competition, because

741
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 5: Iowa State is clearly the best defense they faced all year.

742
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 5: So I'm not fully sold on Chuck yet, and i

743
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 5: was States obviously going up against good offenses in the

744
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 5: Big Twelve.

745
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: If you think Texas is getting the national championship publicity,

746
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: you wait till Andy Avolos tells Boise State, no thanks,

747
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,479
Speaker 1: I'm staying at Oregon and organ returns every single player

748
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. I can't believe I'm

749
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,959
Speaker 1: even saying this, but I'm exactly where it was twelve

750
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: months ago when you and I were in the West Gate.

751
00:37:33,719 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: I am looking for Oregon futures going into twenty twenty one.

752
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, well I had an Oregon features so but then

753
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 5: everyone outed out. I also have accident all Oregon State futures.

754
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 5: All right. I probably will end up on party somehow,

755
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 5: but I'll dig into it. You make some good points,

756
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 5: aren't you, Like five and zero against me and balls.

757
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 5: I think you got me pretty good. Let's see, I

758
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 5: was on at Marshall.

759
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 1: I think you had Buffalo, right, yeah.

760
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 5: We're both on meat meat you did you have Houston?

761
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah?

762
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,280
Speaker 5: And Hawaii? Did you have Tulane?

763
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:07,919
Speaker 1: Yeah?

764
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, Nevada. All right, so we got a while to go. Wait,

765
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 5: well we both on it. We're both on We're both

766
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 5: on Oklahoma the Night right, Oh yeah, big time. Miss State.

767
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 5: We're both on Miss State.

768
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: Yea, both on Miss State.

769
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 5: You're ball state.

770
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: No, No, I can't trust that offensive line. Nope, Armie, No,

771
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: I took West Virginia. There.

772
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 5: I know you're you're going against the seventh cabin of ball.

773
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 5: It's another l for you.

774
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: Since I haven't made a play on the app I mean,

775
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,359
Speaker 1: I know I'm taking the over and and uh.

776
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:42,840
Speaker 5: You know, not taking Georgia.

777
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: No, I'm not taking Georgia.

778
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 5: Okay, well, yeah, I haven't made any place on Saturday.

779
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,879
Speaker 5: We agree on Kentucky. It looks like we just don't

780
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,920
Speaker 5: disagree in Iowa State. So yeah, it looks like our

781
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,720
Speaker 5: next West Virginia, West Virginia, Army to Virginia.

782
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:00,360
Speaker 1: You're gonna sweep me in disagreements. I just can't happened.

783
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 5: So all right, Well, so we got some more maybe

784
00:39:02,600 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 5: some more disagreements coming up, but that we have to

785
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 5: get to one last game on Saturday before we get

786
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 5: to the ConTroll cloff. The Capitol One Orange Bowl Texas

787
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 5: A and M North Carolina Bet MGM. Texas A and

788
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 5: M's a six and a half point favorite over under

789
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 5: sixty five and a half is a hard rock stadium

790
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 5: in Miami Gardens, APM Eastern or ESPN. You know, when

791
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,800
Speaker 5: you first you talk about this game, you have to

792
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 5: mention the North Carolina opt outs. Their leading receiver, one

793
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 5: of their top backs of the two headed monster, like Ocarter,

794
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:35,200
Speaker 5: he's out. One of their best defenders, Sarah, he's out.

795
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 5: So they have some really key opt outs going against

796
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 5: the Texas A and M team. You could argue that

797
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 5: they want to come out here under Jimbo and show everyone, look,

798
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 5: we deserve to be in the controllable playoff. You also

799
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 5: could argue they thought that they should be in the

800
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 5: ConTroll clalf and they're not, and they're now playing in

801
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 5: the Orange Bowl. It's primetime Saturday night. But against the

802
00:39:59,719 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 5: North a lot of team with a bunch of popouts,

803
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 5: and maybe they come off flat. I don't know. I

804
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 5: don't think there's a great motivational angle here. But I

805
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 5: do think when you look at Texas A and M's offense,

806
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 5: pretty easy to explain. Very good offensive line, can run

807
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:18,800
Speaker 5: the ball as well as any team in the country.

808
00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 5: Very efficient passing attack, extremely efficient on third downs. No

809
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 5: explosiveness in this offense. But if you want to move

810
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 5: it on the ground and control the line of scrimmage

811
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 5: against North Carolina, Texas you can do that, and Texas

812
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 5: A and M certainly has the personnel to do that.

813
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 5: The strength of North Carolina's defense is getting to the quarterback.

814
00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 5: That the strength of Texas A and M's offense is

815
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 5: protecting the quarterback. They get rid of the ball, quick run,

816
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 5: heavy attack on the other side of the ball. Look,

817
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,600
Speaker 5: Texas A and M's defense has been very good. They're

818
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 5: a little vulnerable on the back end. We saw that

819
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 5: against Alabama to big explosive passing place. But North Carolina

820
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 5: is not going to have brown. North Carolina offense has

821
00:40:56,880 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 5: obviously been excellent. I mean North Carolina, the opt outs

822
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:02,840
Speaker 5: are pretty extreme. This is a team that had one

823
00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 5: of the best, maybe one of the best running back

824
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:10,239
Speaker 5: duos in acc history. I don't know, I just threw

825
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:11,600
Speaker 5: that out there. I have to really think about it,

826
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:13,839
Speaker 5: but they both Carter Williams both ran for over one

827
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 5: thousand yards. Carter evers eight yards per carry, Williams everge

828
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 5: seven point three at nineteen touchdowns rushing. Their third leading

829
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 5: rusher was Sam Halle one hundred and twenty one yards.

830
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 5: So they're missing their top two backs. They're also missing

831
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 5: their top receiver, Brown who caught he went over one

832
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,760
Speaker 5: thousand yards. Newsome was next with six hundred and sixteen,

833
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 5: and then guess who was third. Williams their running back,

834
00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 5: so with three hundred and five he was even a

835
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,320
Speaker 5: thrown out of the backfield. So this North Carolina offense

836
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,280
Speaker 5: has really took a hit from an opt out perspective.

837
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 5: They also lost one of their best defenders. How do

838
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 5: you see this playing out?

839
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean when you lose your top two running

840
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 1: backs who were the Lions Cherry, I'm not even talking lit.

841
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: I mean you're stuck. Say Howel's a third leading rusher,

842
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 1: that's the quarterback. North Carolina runs the ball fifty eight

843
00:41:57,280 --> 00:41:58,960
Speaker 1: percent of the time, and when you wipe out those

844
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:00,799
Speaker 1: two running backs, are you really going to turn around

845
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,120
Speaker 1: hand the ball off to a bunch of unprovens on

846
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: the team, and I think the answer is no, especially

847
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: when you have Sam Howe's arm. Now, I know that

848
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 1: Diami Brown is out, but Das Newsom is still there,

849
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: and so I think this is going to be a

850
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:17,080
Speaker 1: very pass heavy attack from North Carolina, which makes me

851
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:19,400
Speaker 1: want to take the over here. I know Texas A

852
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: and M is one hundred and twenty third and seconds

853
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 1: per play. They are a snail. They're one of the slowest,

854
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 1: those grinding teams to watch all season. But think about

855
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,600
Speaker 1: their defense in the four to two five and with

856
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 1: Mike Elko runs the you know, the middle line. The

857
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: linebackers for them are you know, I've said this before,

858
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 1: these are run stoppers. They are good at filling gaps.

859
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 1: They're terrible in past defense. Their coverage grades are some

860
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,680
Speaker 1: of the worst in the SEC. So I think North

861
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: Carolina is going to see that and they're going to

862
00:42:47,440 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 1: attack over the middle, and they're going to attack deep.

863
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 1: I think Daz Newsom is going to have a big day.

864
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: Sam Howese should be all throwing first second down. I

865
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: can't see any reason why North Carolina is going to

866
00:42:56,960 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: run the ball. I do like the tar heels with

867
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: the hook at seven. It becomes questionable with the opt

868
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:04,480
Speaker 1: outs that they've had. You know, A and M not

869
00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: the game that they wanted to be in. But it

870
00:43:06,320 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: is a new year six for Jimbo. Uh, he's going

871
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: to show up. You know, Kellen Mond, They're gonna they

872
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: have one of the highest success rates and offenses in

873
00:43:13,200 --> 00:43:16,880
Speaker 1: the country tenth and rushing success rate fourteenth and passing

874
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: success rate. They can't. They have no explosiveness whatsoever. They're

875
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: they're just never Texas A and M is a program.

876
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:25,879
Speaker 1: You're never going to be able to figure it out

877
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: until you find guys that can do what Texas did

878
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:31,120
Speaker 1: in their bowl, which is get it down the field

879
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: in seventy yards in one or two plays. And until

880
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: Texas A and M figures that out, you're just not

881
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,759
Speaker 1: going to bust it into the college football playoff. So

882
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,200
Speaker 1: I do like North Carolina in the spot because I

883
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,239
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a heavy passing attack and

884
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 1: that is going to be able to take advantage of

885
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,360
Speaker 1: what is a soft coverage grade in the middle of

886
00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 1: the A and M defense against that four twenty five

887
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 1: that Elco runs.

888
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 5: Uh.

889
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: So I like North Carolina with the hook, but I'm

890
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:56,440
Speaker 1: more than likely I'm gonna be on the over in

891
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:56,839
Speaker 1: this game.

892
00:43:57,440 --> 00:43:59,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I only they could only concern there with the

893
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 5: Texas him over in a big number, like, Look, the

894
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 5: North Carolina defense isn't great, but a text saying them

895
00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,600
Speaker 5: total with sixty five and a half, what do you

896
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 5: have to worry about? Number one text at him is

897
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 5: a snail. Now. I think that they'll be efficient. They'll

898
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 5: be able to efficiently move the ball up and down

899
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 5: the field on the ground with spilling that offensive line

900
00:44:16,840 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 5: and then mon in the short passing attack. But it's

901
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 5: gonna take some time. But the real fear here. Look,

902
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:28,400
Speaker 5: taking back to Auburn against Northwestern, maybe Auburn changes things

903
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 5: up because Gus mills On is traditionally very conservative, so

904
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 5: maybe Auburn goes for more fourth downs. But Jim O.

905
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 5: Fisher is a very conservative coach. So if it's you know,

906
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 5: fourth and one at the one, he's gonna kick. He'll

907
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 5: kick a field goal. If it's fourth and one at

908
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 5: the forty, he'll punt it. So that's the only thing

909
00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:49,000
Speaker 5: you have to be concerned about. Hopefully he knows he's

910
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 5: playing a high powered offensive attack and it's a bowl game,

911
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,359
Speaker 5: not the coachboll playoff for you know, a meaningful game

912
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:56,560
Speaker 5: in the regular season, and he'll be a little looser

913
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 5: in the ball. But that's something just to keep in mind.

931
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 5: Let's move on to why most of you are probably here,

932
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 5: and that's the College Football Playoff. A breaking news guys.

933
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,000
Speaker 5: We have like it's twenty twenty. Things are really weird.

934
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:13,479
Speaker 5: Nothing is normal, everything is strange. So wait, never mind.

935
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 5: Now the College World Playoff. It's the same teams we

936
00:46:15,640 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 5: always have in here, Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, and Notre Dame.

937
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 5: It's kind of your your wild card, your fourth one.

938
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:24,759
Speaker 5: I look, I just want to get this out here

939
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:28,439
Speaker 5: right now. It's We're gonna start with Alabama Notre Dame

940
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 5: at BENMGM. Alabama is a twenty point favorite over under

941
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,960
Speaker 5: sixty five and a half and we're gonna get to

942
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,759
Speaker 5: Ohio State Clemson next. Look, battle Clemson has been fun,

943
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 5: but I don't know, I think I want to see

944
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 5: something different. I'm gonna love it if it's Alabama Clemson,

945
00:46:45,560 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 5: but I'm kind of getting sick of it anyway. Just

946
00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,360
Speaker 5: throwing that out there, and that's them, and that's clearly

947
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 5: the favorite that the odds on, favorite matchup that we get.

948
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 5: But let's start with the first semifinal. Alabama twenty point

949
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:59,480
Speaker 5: favorite over under sixty five and a half. Look, I

950
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 5: make this game right around two touchdowns, So there's value

951
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 5: in Notre Dame just from a pure numbers perspective, and

952
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 5: you might be saying value Notre Dame want spender day.

953
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 5: I mean, looks the Collegewold clauffs. It's the four best

954
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:10,920
Speaker 5: teams and ive alb is a two touchdown favor That's

955
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:12,800
Speaker 5: there's a big difference between these two teams on a

956
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 5: neutral field. But it's hard for me to make a

957
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,240
Speaker 5: real case for Notre Dame. One of Alabama's best offensive

958
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 5: linemen is out that maybe that helps them. Notre Dame's

959
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:24,560
Speaker 5: defensive front is really good. It's really stout, really strong.

960
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 5: We said all year that there were some questions on

961
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 5: the back end of that Notre Dame secondary, and then

962
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 5: they kind of sucked me in that North Carolina game.

963
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 5: I still don't know how they just completely shut down

964
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 5: North Carolina that entire game. But then we saw some

965
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,000
Speaker 5: signs of cracks against Clemson with their backup quarterback, and

966
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 5: then Clemson really exploited it in the ACC Championship. So

967
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 5: it's really hard for me to see how clark Lee

968
00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 5: and company are going to come up with a game

969
00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 5: plan to slow down this Alabama attack, which is just

970
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:59,280
Speaker 5: amazing all over the place. Devanta Spith is unreal. Okay,

971
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 5: the cult words describe how good he's been, and Mac

972
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 5: Jones been been unbelievable. The offensive line is great, the

973
00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 5: whole offense is record setting. On the other side of

974
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 5: the ball of Bama's you know, secondary we knew about

975
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 5: certain has been better than advertised. I think the defense

976
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 5: has been pretty good, but it's just that you have

977
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 5: to keep up with them. They're gonna get a couple

978
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 5: of stops and then no one can stop them. And

979
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 5: I'm curious to see how you think this game plays out.

980
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 5: I Book's gonna have to use his legs a lot.

981
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 5: Bama likes to play man coverage and they can be

982
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 5: susceptible times to running quarterback. Books gonna have to use

983
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 5: his legs. I think that Notre Name's game plan here

984
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:33,759
Speaker 5: has to be let's way to the beginning of the

985
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 5: year when Notre Dame was just grinding, like just clock speeding,

986
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 5: running it eighty percent of the time, shortening games. That's

987
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 5: just because they don't want to show anything. That's what

988
00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 5: they're gonna have to do here. They're gonna have to

989
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,759
Speaker 5: sustain drives. Keep the bottle of Bama's hands, right, run

990
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 5: it a ton, try to have success on the ground

991
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 5: and sustain long drives, right. I mean, that's I think

992
00:48:54,760 --> 00:48:57,600
Speaker 5: their best hope here. Look, if I will say it,

993
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 5: if Notre Dame against the twenty one, I'm gonna have

994
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,480
Speaker 5: to take them. I can probably talk myself out of

995
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 5: the value here, just because I don't see a ton

996
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 5: of advantages. But there's a twenty one. There'd be too much,

997
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 5: and we could get there with public money. But and

998
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:13,480
Speaker 5: look at twenty one, it's easy to see you have

999
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 5: a back It's such an easy chance for a back door.

1000
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:19,279
Speaker 5: Florida was what catching I got them at eighteen, they

1001
00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 5: don't even need the backdoor. But at twenty one, you're

1002
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 5: down twenty four late, even down twenty eight, you can

1003
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 5: get a touchdown for a push twenty one and a half.

1004
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 5: I'm definitely in on Notre Dame twenty one. Probably I

1005
00:49:30,200 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 5: probably can't lay it with Bama here at twenty just

1006
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 5: I make the number closer to two touchdowns. I'm starting

1007
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 5: to look at the under just because of how I think,

1008
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 5: just because of how I think Notre Dame is going

1009
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 5: to approach this game. But playing an under with this

1010
00:49:43,880 --> 00:49:46,800
Speaker 5: help offense that can just hit eighty yard touchdowns for

1011
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 5: fun with one flick of the wrist from Mac Jose

1012
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,320
Speaker 5: is scary. Break this game down for us. I know

1013
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 5: you have a great right up on actionework dot com

1014
00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 5: and the Action Network app. Run well with it. What

1015
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:56,839
Speaker 5: do you see?

1016
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: Of all the pieces I wrote for Action Network this year,

1017
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: this week was probably my most fun to write up.

1018
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 1: I thought Clemson in Ohio State would be the one

1019
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,600
Speaker 1: that I would come up with some really good, you know,

1020
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 1: fact finding nuggets. But it was actually this game, and

1021
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:11,400
Speaker 1: I had no clue I was going to go this

1022
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,359
Speaker 1: direction when I started my research, and by the time

1023
00:50:13,400 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 1: I got done with it, I was betting way more

1024
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 1: than I thought I would be.

1025
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:17,840
Speaker 3: In.

1026
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 1: The play on this game was to take the under,

1027
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,440
Speaker 1: and the more research that I did here, I just

1028
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: I couldn't get over some of the things that I

1029
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,840
Speaker 1: was seeing. Now, let's talk about college football playoff history.

1030
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,800
Speaker 1: First off, if you like a team to win the

1031
00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 1: game and they're the favorite, swallow the points. If you

1032
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 1: like a dog, you probably don't need the points. Consider

1033
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 1: the fact that Kyler Murray at Oklahoma against Alabama a

1034
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:44,760
Speaker 1: couple of years ago was the first underdog in college

1035
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: football playoff history to finally cover the spread and not

1036
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 1: win the game where the points spread actually mattered. The

1037
00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:53,040
Speaker 1: point spread has never mattered in the College ball Playoff

1038
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 1: or the national Championship until Oklahoma played Alabama a couple

1039
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: of years ago. You think back last year, LSU no

1040
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,399
Speaker 1: problem against Clemson, Clemson didn't need the points against Ohio State.

1041
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 1: The list just goes on and on. So here we are.

1042
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,160
Speaker 1: This is the highest spread of This is the highest

1043
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,280
Speaker 1: This is the highest spread, and it is completely inflated.

1044
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,360
Speaker 1: And if you get sucked into the thought of I

1045
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 1: think it should be fourteen, which is where I'm at.

1046
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 1: If you get sucked into that thought, then you're going

1047
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: to get into you know, uh takelock. And this is

1048
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 1: where I got with Clemson and LSU last year and

1049
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,759
Speaker 1: never recognizing the fact that what LSU did last year

1050
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 1: was something that just couldn't be stopped. So we fast

1051
00:51:29,640 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: forward to this year and we talk about how great

1052
00:51:32,160 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 1: that that LSU team was Alabama's better. LSU's offense, powered

1053
00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:39,719
Speaker 1: by Joe Burrow, finished with an offensive success rate of

1054
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 1: fifty four point nine percent. That was for the entire

1055
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:48,360
Speaker 1: season with Vanderbilt, with non conference Alabama eleven game schedule.

1056
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: Oh and by the way, Alabama didn't play Vanderbilt in

1057
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 1: South Carolina this year. Right, two teams that combine for

1058
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: what two wins South Carolina's wins Alabama fifty five point

1059
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 1: three percent offensive success rate that eclipses LSU from last season.

1060
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 1: What Alabama has done this year has been nothing short

1061
00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: of amazing. So when you say is that number two

1062
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 1: high mathematically, yes, but we couldn't catch up to LSU

1063
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,040
Speaker 1: and now we can't catch up to Alabama.

1064
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 5: And I'm gonna tell you what, if I had a

1065
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:19,520
Speaker 5: barometer up yards to say whether you were give an

1066
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 5: effort or not, it was about fifty percent.

1067
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: Why did you push yourself? And the thing is is

1068
00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,600
Speaker 1: like even Sagarn, Like even if you go to Sagarn,

1069
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 1: they have their own ratings and everything Jeff Sager. In

1070
00:52:28,680 --> 00:52:31,920
Speaker 1: USA today they have a recency poll like which is

1071
00:52:32,200 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 1: based upon as a heavyweight towards your last couple of games.

1072
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,759
Speaker 1: They still make this game like sixteen. So nobody makes

1073
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: it as high as this. And the question is is

1074
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:43,719
Speaker 1: you know what are we gonna do about Alabama. Now,

1075
00:52:43,760 --> 00:52:46,040
Speaker 1: there's lots of things to dive into with this, and

1076
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: I think the thing that we need to pay attention

1077
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 1: to is Pete Goulding and Nick Saban had a press

1078
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,279
Speaker 1: I had a presser earlier this week and they talked

1079
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 1: about how they had a come to Jesus meeting, which

1080
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 1: is a great term. I love to use that with

1081
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:58,880
Speaker 1: my sons. I said, We're gonna have to come to

1082
00:52:58,960 --> 00:52:59,479
Speaker 1: Jesus meeting.

1083
00:52:59,520 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 5: Boys.

1084
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: Uh, they had a come of Jesus meeting. After the

1085
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,960
Speaker 1: Old Miss game Old Miss twenty one missed tackles in

1086
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: that game. Alabama has been fantastic since only one time

1087
00:53:11,040 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: have they missed more than eight tackles. Since that Old

1088
00:53:13,760 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 1: Miss game, the defense has been on point. They've been

1089
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 1: shutting people down. And more importantly, I mean Patrick certain

1090
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: is going to be able to assert himself here. Uh

1091
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: and really Malachai Moore should be going to get a

1092
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,719
Speaker 1: shout out here at a cornerback. He is ranked, I

1093
00:53:28,760 --> 00:53:31,719
Speaker 1: believe in YEP ranked in the top twenty in PFF

1094
00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: slot coverage. So whatever Notre Dame decides to try to

1095
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 1: throw over the middle.

1096
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,920
Speaker 5: Got great weapons on the outside, like they don't playpool and.

1097
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 1: That that formula they used to attack Clemson in the

1098
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,759
Speaker 1: middle in that first game this season was to go

1099
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: over the middle where Skowski wasn't there. Uh, that's not

1100
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: going to work against Alabama. It's not gonna work whatsoever.

1101
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 1: So I don't see Notre Dame having any success running

1102
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: the ball. I don't have Notre Dame have any success

1103
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 1: passing the ball. And you're right. If they're gonna get

1104
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 1: any yardage whatsoever, it's because Ian Book decides to take

1105
00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 1: off on his own. So with that being said, you

1106
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 1: have to look and say, how did a ten to

1107
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,719
Speaker 1: zero Notre Dame team go into the AC Championship and

1108
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,760
Speaker 1: just get obliterated like they looked like a peewee squad

1109
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,239
Speaker 1: thirty four to ten. How does that even happen? And

1110
00:54:18,600 --> 00:54:20,239
Speaker 1: when you look in the box score, when I started

1111
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:22,840
Speaker 1: digging into it, I thought to myself, well, obviously Trevor

1112
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 1: Lawrence just had big explosive plays right wrong. They were

1113
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,359
Speaker 1: blown away in standard downs and specifically on the rush

1114
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: by Travis Etn. On standard downs, Clemson averaged nine yards

1115
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,480
Speaker 1: per play, Travis Etn average twelve yard, twelve and a

1116
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: half yards of carry and he had around nine. He

1117
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,239
Speaker 1: averaged nine yards after contact. We haven't seen that from

1118
00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 1: Travis Etn all year, and Clemson must have seen something

1119
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:53,920
Speaker 1: on tape because Trevor Lawrence ran himself crazy in twenty nineteen.

1120
00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 1: He ran with his legs all the time. We never

1121
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 1: saw that. This year against Notre Dame, Trevor Lawrence took

1122
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,520
Speaker 1: off score and touchdowns out running the Notre Dame defense

1123
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: like it was no Tomorrow. So Clemson saw something in

1124
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 1: Notre Dame to where they said, I think we can

1125
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: run on you. I think we can expose you. I

1126
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: think Sark's going to see the same thing, and I

1127
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 1: think Sark is going to try to do the same thing.

1128
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,839
Speaker 1: So if you look at that game plan, what if

1129
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 1: we run Nase Harris, if we average nine yards per

1130
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 1: play on standard downs, first and second down, we'll always

1131
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 1: have short third downs and we'll always be able to

1132
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:30,920
Speaker 1: have the big pass wide open for Mechi, for DeVonta Smith,

1133
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:33,319
Speaker 1: for mac Jones, if you could get pressure on them,

1134
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 1: which it doesn't matter because mac Jones has been cool

1135
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:38,440
Speaker 1: as a cucumber under pressure. But I don't think it's

1136
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 1: going to come down to that Notre Dame getting blown

1137
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:44,360
Speaker 1: to pieces on standard downs is what the difference was

1138
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:47,799
Speaker 1: why Clemson was able to dominate them in the ACC championship.

1139
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 1: And so I think Sark. If I was Sark and

1140
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: I was the offensive coordinator, I would run the ball.

1141
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 1: I would run the hell out of Nause Harris. And

1142
00:55:55,960 --> 00:55:58,160
Speaker 1: if I could get nine yards per carry on first

1143
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,520
Speaker 1: and second down, and I could limit how much I

1144
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:03,280
Speaker 1: show in my playbook, if I can go completely vanilla

1145
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 1: in the passing game, saving it for a possible national championship,

1146
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,239
Speaker 1: I would. And I think that's exactly what's going to happen.

1147
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: So A, I don't think Notre Dame is going to

1148
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 1: be able to contribute to the total whatsoever. B Clemson

1149
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 1: expose Notre Dame for not being able to contain the rush.

1150
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 1: Now let's get to the third element in this game.

1151
00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,600
Speaker 1: Is there a track record that suggests that Saban may

1152
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,879
Speaker 1: take his foot off the pedal. If you're LSU, you're

1153
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:29,759
Speaker 1: gonna get your ass run out of the building by

1154
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: Nick Saban. If you're Auburn, you're gonna get your ass

1155
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: run out of the building by Nick Saban. But if

1156
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: you're Brian Kelly, you might have a pass. These two

1157
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:40,760
Speaker 1: teams met in the twenty thirteen National Championship Game. Anybody

1158
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: doesn't remember the history, I'll go ahead and brief you.

1159
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 1: Alabama twenty eight to zero at halftime. Eddie Lacy, Eddie Lacy,

1160
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: Eddie Lacy, over and over and over. Alabama dominated Notre

1161
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:52,439
Speaker 1: Dame through the first half. What happened in the second half.

1162
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: Alabama ran thirty two plays, twenty two of them were

1163
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,480
Speaker 1: rush more Eddie Lacy, and what happened was is they

1164
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,640
Speaker 1: scored fourteen points apiece by both of them. And it

1165
00:57:02,800 --> 00:57:05,720
Speaker 1: was an extremely rush dominant second half by Nick Saban.

1166
00:57:05,960 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: He had no reason to run the score up after

1167
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 1: he got up twenty eight to zero going into half.

1168
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: I think Alabama is absolutely going to be up by

1169
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: three scorers in the first half. I don't think Notre

1170
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: Dame is gonna contribute any points, and then I think

1171
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be all Nase Harris backup offensive line.

1172
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:23,959
Speaker 1: We don't need any more injuries on the offensive line.

1173
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be not as an exciting

1174
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 1: of a game as people are gonna think. I think

1175
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: once Alabama gets a three possession lead, Saban knows he

1176
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 1: can sit on it because this Notre Dame offense has

1177
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: no chance of catching up, no chance under. Is the

1178
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 1: play absolutely taking under in this game. I'm not gonna

1179
00:57:41,600 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: mess with the points spread, but I will throw history

1180
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: in and say college football playoff teams that are dogs,

1181
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 1: they don't need the points. College football playoff teams that

1182
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: are favorites, they're covering, no problem.

1183
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Notre Dame I think can stop the

1184
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 5: run if they completely sell out to do so, but

1185
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 5: you can't do against Alabama otherwise you're going to get

1186
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:04,280
Speaker 5: burnt over and over again.

1187
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: Do you think that?

1188
00:58:06,080 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 5: So from a total perspective, do you agree or disagree

1189
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:12,280
Speaker 5: with my hypothesis that the only way that Notre Dame

1190
00:58:12,680 --> 00:58:15,560
Speaker 5: can stay in this game is through Book runs? And

1191
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:19,600
Speaker 5: then heavy runs are going very slow and that might

1192
00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:23,160
Speaker 5: lend itself to an under and under with Bama's petrifying

1193
00:58:23,320 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 5: But is that the side you would is that the

1194
00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:27,800
Speaker 5: side you would lean in the total under?

1195
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely under right here? And it's because once Saban gets

1196
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,600
Speaker 1: a three possession lead, he knows that Ian Book can't

1197
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:36,959
Speaker 1: bring him back, they can't touch him, they can't get close.

1198
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:39,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, sure sell out, bring it up in the

1199
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,520
Speaker 1: box because it's just going to take one flick of

1200
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: mac Jones's wrist to add another score up on that scoreboard.

1201
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: I absolutely think with the National Championship game yet to

1202
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: be played, you and I are about to discuss who

1203
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: you think is going to win that game. I don't

1204
00:58:52,320 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: think they want to expose anything in the Mechi DeVonta

1205
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 1: Smith department. I think once I get a three touchdown lead,

1206
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: maybe naj Hair is a running the ball, maybe the

1207
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 1: second string offensive line is back, so Leatherwood's healthy gets

1208
00:59:04,000 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: you know. And by the way, Jalen Waddell isn't in

1209
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 1: this game. Even if he was available, I don't think

1210
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 1: he would play. So I'm telling you this is a

1211
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 1: game where Nick Saban wants to get a three possession

1212
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 1: lead and then sit on it, and Notre Dames I

1213
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 1: could be able to do anything, maybe a backdoor at

1214
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: the end of the game. I'd be shocked. And Brian

1215
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 1: Kelly was trying to make a statement in the fourth

1216
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:27,400
Speaker 1: quarter down three touchdowns because of the mutual respect between

1217
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: these two who have met before and did not run

1218
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: it up on each other.

1219
00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 5: Well, here's the last question of the game. If it

1220
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:34,960
Speaker 5: gets that not a name plus twenty one and a half.

1221
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 5: Would you take not or Dame?

1222
00:59:35,960 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: No, I'm not. I'm telling you, but I'm not going

1223
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: to play it either. Like I shouldn't say I'm a

1224
00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: proponent if I had to pay make up, Okay, I

1225
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 1: think if you're asking, like if I had to make

1226
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: a play in a pool, right because I'm not touching

1227
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 1: the spread. I think if Alabama wants to cover, they will,

1228
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: But I think at the same time, they're going to

1229
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: have a national championship game to think about. If I

1230
00:59:57,320 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 1: was in a pool, I absolutely would take note because

1231
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 1: I go back to the mathematician part of it, the

1232
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: power rating part of it, the over inflat. When you

1233
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: get blown out of your ACEC championship game and Alabama

1234
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: gets done dominating Florida, of course you're gonna have inflation

1235
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: in the market. From a mathematic perspective, you have to

1236
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: play Notre Dame. But for me personally, with my money

1237
01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 1: and my investments, I just don't feel like lighting any

1238
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: of that shit on fire. So I'm not going to

1239
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:23,120
Speaker 1: play the points right here.

1240
01:00:23,400 --> 01:00:24,960
Speaker 5: All right, good stuff there, Let's move on to the

1241
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:32,800
Speaker 5: second semi final. Friday, January first, twenty twenty one, Ohio

1242
01:00:32,920 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 5: State happen m gym Sevendy half one underdog over under

1243
01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:39,920
Speaker 5: sixty six and a half against Clemson. Look, we talked

1244
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 5: about Ohio State's potential struggles in the secondary ad nauseum.

1245
01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 5: This year, they lost three pros in the secondary. They

1246
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:49,440
Speaker 5: really missed Jordan Fuloyd as a single high safety. I

1247
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 5: don't think our corners are anywhere as close to as

1248
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 5: good as they were last year. Obviously, when you were

1249
01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:57,919
Speaker 5: replacing pros, you're replacing a generational pass rusher like Chase

1250
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 5: Young as well as dominating nfla's rookie year. So the

1251
01:01:00,880 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 5: defensive questions that maybe Clemson can't exploit, but from a

1252
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 5: pure numbers perspective, and I was very comfortable playing this

1253
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,040
Speaker 5: game because I just know that I know the talent

1254
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 5: that is there. I know how well coached Ohio State is.

1255
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 5: They're getting more time now to work on some things.

1256
01:01:16,920 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 5: I know how great Justin Fields is and that offense.

1257
01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 5: So I make this line like between three and a

1258
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 5: half and four. So I grabbed seven and the hook

1259
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,479
Speaker 5: right away. Big play for me. Now you have word

1260
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:34,400
Speaker 5: that Tony Elliott is not going to be there for Clemson,

1261
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 5: which is I let you speak to this more. But

1262
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:39,640
Speaker 5: I think it's really important because one of the things

1263
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 5: that Clemson has had that Alabama hasn't had in the

1264
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:46,080
Speaker 5: past few years is coordinator continuity, and for the first

1265
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 5: time in a while this year they didn't have that

1266
01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 5: sort of They lost one of their co offensive coordinators

1267
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 5: to South Florida, but they still have Tony Elliott. Well

1268
01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 5: now they won't have either for this semi final. And

1269
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:07,040
Speaker 5: Davio he stays away from scheme and this scheme and

1270
01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:09,960
Speaker 5: play calling stuff, so it's gonna go down to the

1271
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:11,720
Speaker 5: quarterback coach. I believe it's been there for a while,

1272
01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 5: but it's definitely a big change. Look, Clemson is the

1273
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 5: better team here. And by the way, getting over the

1274
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 5: hook getting seven in the hook. If you're down fourteen

1275
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 5: late and you need Fields and company to go down

1276
01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 5: and get your score to get in the back door

1277
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 5: you're down ten, you can get that here. But I

1278
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 5: think there's too much value to Hio State to pass

1279
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:32,160
Speaker 5: up on. Give me the Buckeyes. I think this line's inflated.

1280
01:02:32,920 --> 01:02:36,400
Speaker 1: What say you, Yeah, the line is completely inflated. You know,

1281
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 1: when Ohio State is without Chris Olave and Justin Fields

1282
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 1: has you know, to look at new targets, you know,

1283
01:02:42,040 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: and he got picked off a couple of times. That

1284
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: tends to burn in people's memory. And when Clemson makes

1285
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Notre Dame look like they should be joining the MAC,

1286
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: that tends to burn an image in people's minds too.

1287
01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 1: And so this number was and is shocking to me.

1288
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 1: It's something that I'm I think three and a half

1289
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 1: or four. So seven and a half to me is

1290
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: a gift. I've hit it twice. I hit it again

1291
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,320
Speaker 1: today on the Action app after the notes about Tony Elliott.

1292
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 5: You think that's a big deal, Elliott, Oh, I think.

1293
01:03:09,560 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: It's a monster deal. I think it's a monster deal

1294
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,120
Speaker 1: that Tony Elliott is not calling this game. Let's take

1295
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 1: a look at the history here. Jeff Scott, Tony Elliott

1296
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:19,439
Speaker 1: co coordinators. One of the booth, one of the field,

1297
01:03:19,480 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: both of the booth. That's all it's been since Chad

1298
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 1: Morris left to go to smu Is, Tony Elliott and

1299
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,040
Speaker 1: Jeff Scott. Now, I know the quarterback is going to

1300
01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: be making is going to be making the play calling right,

1301
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 1: and maybe he could do that on a script. But

1302
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 1: guess what what's going to happen at halftime when you

1303
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:36,760
Speaker 1: need to make adjustments. What's going to happen after one

1304
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 1: or two drives and Ohio State's got you figured out.

1305
01:03:39,480 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 1: It's not like Ohio State is not capable or has

1306
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,080
Speaker 1: the same level of talent to be able to hang

1307
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: with you. And by the way, there's a precedent that's

1308
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 1: already been said here. Jeff Bram got COVID couldn't coach Purdue.

1309
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: Brian Bram, his brother, never called a play in his life,

1310
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: assumed roles and called plays. Brom was not allowed to

1311
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: have a zoom meeting, a phone call. He wasn't allowed

1312
01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: to have any contact with the team during halftime to

1313
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: make any kind of adjustments whatsoever. So this quarterback coach

1314
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: who's never called a play in his life, in a

1315
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 1: program where Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott have been in

1316
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: complete control forever, that's a problem, especially in the second half.

1317
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 1: So if you don't want to touch Ohio State until

1318
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,480
Speaker 1: the second half, that's understandable. But that is a serious,

1319
01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 1: serious issue. And I'm still shocked as you and I

1320
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:27,520
Speaker 1: are recording. I mean, the news is only a couple

1321
01:04:27,600 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 1: hours old, but I mean this is to me, this

1322
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,640
Speaker 1: is a really big deal. Now, if you want to

1323
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:33,400
Speaker 1: get into live.

1324
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 5: If you get Clems against the ball, first scores a touchdown,

1325
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 5: it should be a high scoring game. Then you can

1326
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 5: jump in on hot state two.

1327
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 1: Then yeah, crazy note though Clemson is Clemson was the

1328
01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: champions of the world the last five or six years

1329
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 1: of Middle eight, and this year they've been very pedestrian,

1330
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 1: vanilla middle of the FBS, very very strange. And I

1331
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: wonder how much of that is Jeff Scott or how

1332
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 1: much of that is Dabbo interesting going on with the

1333
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:57,760
Speaker 1: Middle eight, that this is one of the years that

1334
01:04:57,800 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: they're not tops in the nation.

1335
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 5: By the way, for those off last four of the

1336
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 5: first half, first four of the second half.

1337
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, And got to clarify that because I know I

1338
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 1: put that out on Twitter and people are like, what

1339
01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,280
Speaker 1: the hell are you talking about? The Middle eight is.

1340
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, this is something I picked

1341
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 1: up from Belichick years ago. Belichick managed the clock all

1342
01:05:16,200 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 1: the time to make sure he d back to back

1343
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 1: possessions coin toss. Sure, I'll give you the ball, and

1344
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:22,680
Speaker 1: then is a live better if you know you're getting

1345
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,919
Speaker 1: two possessions in a row. It's a huge, huge deal

1346
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 1: for making a decision when you want to bet live.

1347
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: So middle eight is the point differential of the last

1348
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: four minutes of the second corep the first four minutes

1349
01:05:31,320 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: of the third quarter, and it can present a very

1350
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: nice opportunity for live betting. So middle eight's a really

1351
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: big deal and something that Clemson had mastered for years, years,

1352
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:42,919
Speaker 1: and this year they're kind of run in the middle

1353
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:44,760
Speaker 1: of the pack. As far as you break down this game,

1354
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no love loss between these two teams.

1355
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 1: This is a true rivalry.

1356
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 5: From eleven Dabo, right though I stayed eleventh.

1357
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, Dabo, who did not like Urban Meyer whatsoever and

1358
01:05:58,640 --> 01:06:01,120
Speaker 1: shut them out of a College Football Plaoff semi final

1359
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 1: before decided to rank Ohio State eleventh in the Coach's Poll. Listen,

1360
01:06:07,040 --> 01:06:10,160
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk about Ohio State about do

1361
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: they deserve to be here? Did they play enough games?

1362
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 1: The one thing you're going to hear, you're not going

1363
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,080
Speaker 1: to hear a slight on Ohio State is if they

1364
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 1: have a talent or if they don't have the players

1365
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:23,120
Speaker 1: to be They absolutely have the pedigree and the talent

1366
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 1: to be in the College Football Playoff, But everybody's undermining

1367
01:06:26,120 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: all of that by saying, well, you just haven't played

1368
01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 1: enough games. Well, I've seen enough games out of Texas

1369
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 1: A and M and know that they don't belong. Ohio

1370
01:06:32,640 --> 01:06:36,240
Speaker 1: State absolutely from a success rate and explosiveness standpoint on

1371
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball, has a completely legitimate

1372
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:42,960
Speaker 1: statement to being here in this position. It's not their fault.

1373
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 1: Michigan got COVID, it's not their fault. Penn State sucks,

1374
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 1: it's not their fault. So you know, when you get

1375
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: past that, Dabo ringing them eleventh is just something that

1376
01:06:52,680 --> 01:06:54,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Day has got. Another thing that Ryan Day has

1377
01:06:54,640 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 1: got to deal with. And Ryan Day has been dealing

1378
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,080
Speaker 1: with this whole Clemson bullshit for years, and you say, well,

1379
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: what are you talking about? Ryan Day was the OC

1380
01:07:02,280 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 1: at Boston College and there was an interview that came

1381
01:07:05,120 --> 01:07:08,680
Speaker 1: out on Yahoo about Brett Vinnables stealing signs and it's

1382
01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: been a problem forever that Brett Vinnables has a team

1383
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: of analysts that steals signs offensively. And what you'll notice

1384
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,040
Speaker 1: about the Clemson defenses is they all stand there and

1385
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 1: stare at Brett Vinables and they get a lass and

1386
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: they stare at at the DC and he'll give some

1387
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: sort of signal and they'll line up and boom, magically,

1388
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:30,120
Speaker 1: Clemson knows exactly where the ball is going to go.

1389
01:07:30,600 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: Huge advantage for Clemson. All these years. In the games

1390
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:37,640
Speaker 1: where Clemson has struggled, you will notice that it's been

1391
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: because of up tempo or sugar huddle. Now, if you're

1392
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 1: not familiar with what a sugar huddle is, it's a

1393
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: you know, quarterback comes into the huddle, he calls a play,

1394
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:50,000
Speaker 1: the center leaves the huddle, the guards and the tackles

1395
01:07:50,080 --> 01:07:52,959
Speaker 1: leave the huddle. The wide receivers then leave the huddle.

1396
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,840
Speaker 1: It's like a cascaded event to get everybody out of

1397
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:57,760
Speaker 1: the huddle and get them up to the line to

1398
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 1: kind of show a formation that keeps breat venables guessing.

1399
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: And Ryan Day has been very clear that them stealing signs.

1400
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: They had to adjust for it last year in the

1401
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: Fiesta Bowl because everything was being stolen from them. So

1402
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot of sugar huddle out

1403
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: of Ohio State. You're going to see some up tempo.

1404
01:08:14,960 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: You're going to see them change things up offensively so

1405
01:08:17,240 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: they can take advantage of the Clemson defense. And I

1406
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 1: absolutely Ryan Day's got enough experience here with bread venables

1407
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: that I think he's going to be successful. And let's

1408
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:28,960
Speaker 1: be honest, Ohio State had a sixty percent post game

1409
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: win expectancy last year. I know it's different players, but

1410
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,920
Speaker 1: that Fiesta Bowl turf was slippery as hell and it

1411
01:08:35,040 --> 01:08:38,960
Speaker 1: benefited Clemson the whole way. And Justin Fields was right

1412
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,920
Speaker 1: there to score the game winning touchdown. And you know,

1413
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, Clemson pulled it off. Different track, different team,

1414
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: different players, but Ryan Day is completely prepared to put

1415
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 1: up with bread venables in this game. So I think

1416
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,880
Speaker 1: when you look at it, you know, Ohio State is

1417
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:58,200
Speaker 1: second in line yards, their top twenty five in defensive havoc.

1418
01:08:58,479 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 1: They have what it takes. I know those numbers on

1419
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 1: a short schedule. I know they came up against a

1420
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 1: Big ten, not even the best of the Big ten teams,

1421
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: but they have what it takes to handle this offense,

1422
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: and they have what it takes to handle the defense.

1423
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: And I think they're going to be highly successful here.

1424
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 1: And I think the other thing that we need to

1425
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:16,839
Speaker 1: talk about is Trey Sermon. Now, how do you beat Clemson?

1426
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,600
Speaker 1: I'll mention this in the article, but I'll tell you

1427
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:21,600
Speaker 1: guys here now. But if you go and read on

1428
01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:25,320
Speaker 1: the Action Network for this playoff preview. The way to

1429
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: beat Clemson is to beat them in standard downs. They

1430
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: are ninety fourth in in defending standard downs. Explosiveness. Take

1431
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,519
Speaker 1: a shot on first down, take a shot on second down.

1432
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: It's when you will have your most success. Clemson will

1433
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:43,080
Speaker 1: pound you in passing downs. They won't let you do anything.

1434
01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:45,800
Speaker 1: And I think Ryan Day is going to be able

1435
01:09:45,880 --> 01:09:48,960
Speaker 1: to go for the home run with justin Fields and

1436
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:53,400
Speaker 1: if not, Trey Sermon, who just played the absolute game

1437
01:09:53,600 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 1: of his life against the Northwestern defense three hundred and

1438
01:09:56,479 --> 01:10:00,479
Speaker 1: thirty one total yards, seventeen avoided tackles in one game,

1439
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 1: six point eight yards after contact. What Trey Sermon did

1440
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 1: against Northwestern is what I was bitching to stuck you

1441
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: about back in the summer that I don't think these

1442
01:10:10,080 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: running backs have WoT it taste. Goot Ohio State to

1443
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: the finish line, completely done, a one to eighty on that.

1444
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,800
Speaker 1: I think Ohio State has the explosiveness. They're gonna do

1445
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,960
Speaker 1: it early. They're gonna sugar huddle and up tempo their

1446
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 1: way around bread venables. It's a coin flip game. Either

1447
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:25,720
Speaker 1: team could win, and I think plus seven and a

1448
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:26,679
Speaker 1: half is a gift.

1449
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 5: I concur you said it. Well, nothing else to add

1450
01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:33,080
Speaker 5: Ohio State plus seven and a half grab the hook.

1451
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 5: We'll have great content out on an Action Network app

1452
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 5: and Actionnework dot com. Al Before we get out here,

1453
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 5: let's go three and out.

1454
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: Let's make it a quick three and out.

1455
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 5: On first down here, we would normally at some point

1456
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 5: to our favorite underdog, Buddy Line parlay Kyle, you finished hot.

1457
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:58,760
Speaker 5: We were gonna do this, but there's only what eight

1458
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 5: total games between Friday and we both wanted Ohio State,

1459
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 5: so you can't. Unfortunately, you can't parley Ohio State money

1460
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:07,720
Speaker 5: line with Ohio State money line, but the Ohio State

1461
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 5: would have been the choice. Uh. Second down here, we'll

1462
01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 5: go quickly predictions. We won't we won't necessarily go with

1463
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 5: national champion, but we'll go with winners of this game.

1464
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 5: I'm clearly going with cute the Notre Dame fight song.

1465
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 6: Oh Johnny, the pipes, the pipes are calling.

1466
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:37,400
Speaker 1: From Glen to Glenn down.

1467
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:41,320
Speaker 5: The mountain side kidding. I can't even say with a

1468
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 5: straight face, Alabama. Maybe this is me just wanting something

1469
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 5: new Alabama against Ohio State.

1470
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:50,519
Speaker 1: I can't say that I disagree with you, it's gonna

1471
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:52,760
Speaker 1: be Alabama Ohio State, and I'm gonna come up with

1472
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: a prediction of four and a half to be the opener.

1473
01:11:56,880 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 5: Wow, I'm gonna say it was open higher. I think

1474
01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 5: it would open it at if. I mean, we have

1475
01:12:03,520 --> 01:12:06,400
Speaker 5: to remember that a Albama beats that her name, who cares?

1476
01:12:06,479 --> 01:12:07,640
Speaker 5: I mean, how much more of a bump are they

1477
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 5: going to get their twenty point favorites? But if Ohio State,

1478
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:12,920
Speaker 5: in fairness, if I States beats Clempson, they're gonna get

1479
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 5: a big bump in the you know, in people's power ratings,

1480
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 5: in market perception. So I still think it would be

1481
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:23,840
Speaker 5: around a touchdown. But hopefully we're able to see if

1482
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 5: that comes to fruition. We can test our predictions. We're

1483
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:32,680
Speaker 5: all Ohio State fans this weekend and thair down. We

1484
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:35,800
Speaker 5: had a little something a little different this week. I

1485
01:12:35,880 --> 01:12:38,639
Speaker 5: want to again voicemail. I'll forget about voicemail this weekend.

1486
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:40,559

Speaker 5: Hey, do me a favor. Don't bleep this out.

1500
01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,960
Speaker 6: Jim Harbaugh is the mother for that.

1501
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:28,720
Speaker 7: I've lost more money on that mother since the day

1502
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 7: he set foot into Michigan with a stupid mother, kakis

1503
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 7: and glasses that can't cover for I hope he doesn't

1504
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,880
Speaker 7: even come out on the tunnel for the second half

1505
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,639
Speaker 7: this piece of hockey.

1506
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 3: Colin, let's talk about bad beat hol from above the

1507
01:13:47,439 --> 01:13:51,759
Speaker 3: Southern Alabama defense. To have four guys who weighed fifty

1508
01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:54,280
Speaker 3: hundred pounds not be able to tackle.

1509
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:55,920
Speaker 7: Why couldn't he just speak the guys.

1510
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 3: This is a disgrace of going to take a path.

1511
01:13:58,600 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 4: You step kidding me.

1512
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 2: Please get the fuck out here.

1513
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:04,640
Speaker 4: I offed out of the season. I will be the

1514
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,920
Speaker 4: additional op out for the Yellow Shutagers.

1515
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 6: I have to start off this call with a big

1516
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 6: hu to leach in the Mississippi State Bulldogs giving.

1517
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 4: Up one hundred and sixty yards.

1518
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 6: On defense and lose by more than twenty two points them.

1519
01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 4: I really must love torturing myself because I threw in

1520
01:14:26,080 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 4: a play on you mass plus thirty one.

1521
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:32,439
Speaker 7: It's like I hate money, this pathetic team. I can't

1522
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:35,720
Speaker 7: believe this. I got a sleeping baby on me, so

1523
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 7: I can't yell.

1524
01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:37,799
Speaker 4: Lame Giffen.

1525
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:39,479
Speaker 6: Take that last time out that.

1526
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 7: You took with you at the end of the game

1527
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 7: and go fix.

1528
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 1: Yourself with it.
