Speaker 1: to have you here for this season, and I am pumped.

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: It's week zero. Are you ready? Are you actually ready

11
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: for kickoff for Saturday to come around and get games rolling.

12
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: I'm definitely ready. I'm definitely ready.

13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a long off season, was a wild

14
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 3: off season and an unprecedented off season, a player movement,

15
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 3: and yeah, I know I speak for.

16
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: Both of us and saying it is good. The college

17
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: football is back.

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: It feels right. You know, when football is coming around,

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: the weather gets a little bit colder, you know that

20
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,319
Speaker 1: heat starts to break a little bit as well. The

21
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: world just feels correct to me. So I am very

22
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: very happy that we are starting and we're going to

23
00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: be here every single week for you guys to break

24
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: down these games, and this is week zero. You know,

25
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: Week zero is kind of like a what do they

26
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: call it, thor, like a soft opening of a hotel

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: where it's open but only to certain people and you

28
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: can only go at certain times and things like that.

29
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 1: So it's just Saturday, nothing else. There's eleven games, but

30
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: only seven that are being played by both FBS teams

31
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: that have like a real line and all that stuff.

32
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: So that's what we're going to be going over today

33
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: and thor we start at Nebraska versus Northwestern, not at

34
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: versus Northwestern. This game is in Dublin, Ireland, so you know,

35
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: a little ways out of the way. But I have

36
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,640
Speaker 1: some questions here. The game is Nebraska by thirteen. I

37
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: believe you're, you know, in Nebraska's favor. Here will Casey

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: Thompson finally geting Nebraska's offense on track under Scott Frost?

39
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: Do you think that's gonna happen in for Northwestern? They

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: were good for a long time, but they've been rough recently.

41
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Can we expect improvement or do you think we're going

42
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: to see more of the same from Northwestern? What do

43
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: you think of this game.

44
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's lots of things going on here. This is

45
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: going to be a really fascinating game on multiple different levels.

46
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 3: I mean, let's start with Nebraska. Fascinating offseason for them.

47
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I thought a lot of people thought Scott

48
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 3: Frost was going to be fired.

49
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: Trev Alberts decides to keep them.

50
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 3: It was sort of on this prove it sort of

51
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 3: scenario of we'll give you the one off season and

52
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: then we'll give you one more year.

53
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: We'll see how it goes.

54
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: Obviously, Scott Frost, he's not only going to have to

55
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:33,959
Speaker 3: make a Bowl game, he's probably going to have to

56
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 3: win eight games to save his job.

57
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: So he sort of had this yolo off season.

58
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 3: You know, we were talking about how it was this

59
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: unprecedented offseason a player movement. Scott Frost took full advantage. Yeah,

60
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: he signed a metric ton of people, not only that.

61
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: Twenty two transfers.

62
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: It was a lot, right, an incredible amount of people.

63
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 2: You know.

64
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 3: Of course, he signed a new quarterback, and he brought

65
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 3: in a whole new architect of the offense, so the

66
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 3: whole thing has been remade. What was really interesting about

67
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: that is you bring in Mark Whipple, who his thing

68
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 3: is entire coaching career, it's been that quick hitting passing

69
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 3: attack to you know, in a layered passing attack where

70
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 3: guys are running these these multiple concepts that down the field.

71
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: You know, you'll have two guys running similar routes, you know,

72
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: and then and then they'll sort of break off in

73
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 3: the layers, you know, and you sort of force conundrums

74
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 3: for the defensive back stuff like that, and then you

75
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 3: do that sort of stuff and then that sets up

76
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 3: the run.

77
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: You know, that sort of stuff.

78
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: Well, usually with that system, the guy who runs it best,

79
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: it's a guy who the foot that he has led with.

80
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: It's short area accuracy and intermedia accuracy. And then they

81
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: go out and they signed Casey Thompson. That is certainly

82
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 3: not the first thing that I thought.

83
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Of what I thought of Casey Thompson.

84
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 3: That and decision making Casey Thompson, you know, he's a

85
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 3: solid playmaker for sure, but again, accuracy in touch is

86
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: not the first couple of things that you would toss

87
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 3: out when when you're thinking about him. So it's going

88
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: to be really interesting to see Casey Thompson sort of

89
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 3: the square you know or the round peg being fit

90
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: into the square of the Mark Whipple system and then

91
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: both of those guys essentially trying to save Scott Frost.

92
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 3: You know, you have all those different things going on,

93
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: and then all the new the other new guys on

94
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 3: Nebraska as well, and then they're just in Dublin, you know,

95
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 3: like this new look Nebraska team. And then meanwhile on

96
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: the other side with Northwestern, they have had nightmare seasons

97
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 3: in two of the last three, you know, sort of

98
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: interspersed like an oreo with you know, sort of more

99
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: of the prototypical good you know, Fitzferald season where they

100
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 3: had like a wins or whatever. But you know, you know,

101
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 3: I mean last year it was another nightmare. One cam

102
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 3: Porter was lost for the season. Last year they get

103
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 3: cam Porter back. Ostensibly, this is more of your prototypical

104
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 3: Northwestern team with camp Porter back, where you have that

105
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: really deep backfield. Now you've got cam Porter, you got

106
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 3: Evan Hall, you got that the kid that they had

107
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 3: gotten from Bowling Green a couple of years, Andrew Clayer.

108
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 2: So they have three different running backs. Halinski should be

109
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: better this year.

110
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 3: You know, he did not have a good offseason last

111
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: year after he had transferred over from South Carolina and

112
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 3: he was terrible last year, but there's been talk that

113
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 3: he is going to be really improved this year. He

114
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 3: had a good offseason, so if he's better, certainly the

115
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 3: rushing attack is going to be better one way or

116
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 3: the other. Because the one thing that Northwestern's offense has

117
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 3: going for it one way or the other is a

118
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 3: really good offensive line. They're left tackle Peter s Kearansky

119
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 3: is one of the best offensive linemans in America, and

120
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 3: the kids around them are pretty solid too, So they

121
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 3: have the line going for them one way or the other,

122
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 3: should have a good rushing attack. If Helensky is the

123
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,559
Speaker 3: least competent, it'll be a decent offense. The defense will

124
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: have to see, you know. I mean like when when

125
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 3: FitzGeralds his teams have been good, the defenses have been awesome.

126
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 3: Like you remember the team two years ago, you know,

127
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: during the COVID year or whatever that was, when like

128
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: they had Greg Newsom and the Joseph Kidd that just

129
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 3: answer to Notre Dame and like they had that awesome

130
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: secondary whatever that you know, that that was the contending team.

131
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 3: And back when the other Fitzgerald good teams, that's when

132
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 3: they have good defenses when they're team the Northwestern teams

133
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 3: is stunk.

134
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: That's when the defenses have been sieves.

135
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 3: So it's gonna go a long way to inform how

136
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: good that this team is.

137
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 2: If they can get that defense back on track.

138
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to believe it to see it, but

139
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 3: I do think that that offense is gonna be a

140
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: bit better one way.

141
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 2: Or the other.

142
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: You're on the Nebraska side here, correct.

143
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 3: My numbers are really really close to where Vegas is

144
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 3: right now. You know that this line has been bouncing

145
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: back a little bit and forth. You know, I've been

146
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 3: monitoring it a little bit. Right now live it's Nebraska

147
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: minus thirteen. My number on this game is Nebraska minus

148
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 3: thirteen point seven. I honestly would not bet this game.

149
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,240
Speaker 3: You know, Like the coaching discrepancy alone, I think is

150
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 3: probably worth that.

151
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: Point seven points.

152
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,679
Speaker 3: The Northwestern has the better coach team hint hint, kough cough.

153
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,119
Speaker 2: So for me, I'm staying away.

154
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 3: If I had to bet it, Honestly, I'm probably leaning

155
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: Northwestern just because of the coaching edge.

156
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: But in this one, I'm just going to be a spectator.

157
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: What about what is playing this game in Ireland? Do

158
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 1: does it do anything in terms of the over in

159
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: terms of this line, does does it change anything for

160
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: you or you know, is it do you just say, well,

161
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: it's a field. No one has home field advantage, so

162
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: you have that, and you know, they both have to

163
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: deal with it. So I'm not really looking at this

164
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: field or this location as a deciding factor for anything.

165
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: You know, It's it's interesting, right like with Northwestern, they

166
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 3: don't have a home field advantage, so in that sense

167
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 3: it doesn't really matter for them, whereas with Nebraska they

168
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: do have a home field advantage. However, I'm not sure

169
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: that this season starting out that Frost would have wanted

170
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 3: to play at home right away in the season, just

171
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 3: because if something bad happened right away would have been

172
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: the stadium would have been deflated right away. Because right now,

173
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 3: the way that it is for Frost, people, you know,

174
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: people are really tepid about him, and and people are

175
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 3: either ready to to want to believe in him or

176
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 3: to move on really quick. And so it's probably better

177
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 3: better for him that the opener isn't anywhere even close

178
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: to America, to be honest, So for both teams, it's

179
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 3: it's probably not a bad thing. I think this honestly,

180
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 3: I think it probably plays in the frost hands more. Again,

181
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: just for the reasons that that that I was specifying,

182
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: so forty nine.

183
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 1: And a half, Yeah, you have a lean one way

184
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: or the other.

185
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 2: I would man just where the where where the game

186
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: is being played.

187
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 3: It's it's it's harder to say you know over there

188
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 3: because it's it's just you know, with the field.

189
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: I don't have any information about the field.

190
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's not like they're playing you know, dozens

191
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,280
Speaker 1: of games in Ireland every single year, so that is

192
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: more than understandable. Plus week one, Week zero, however you

193
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: want to call it, it's the hardest week. The first

194
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: week of the season, the last week of the season,

195
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: in my opinion, are the toughest to bet because you

196
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: don't know, you know who is going to be good,

197
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: who's been working hard, who looks good in practice, all

198
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: that good stuff. Because it's very hush hush in college football.

199
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: You know NFL you probably have a better idea because

200
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: it's open practices, you're getting highlights, you're getting media stuff.

201
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: It's all day, every day, it's the NFL network. Right, So,

202
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: but in week one and the last week in any

203
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: football season, because the last week. You don't know who quit,

204
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: who's being benched, who's not gonna play because they're a

205
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: little banged up and they want to say them for

206
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: next year. There's too many what ifs. The same thing

207
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: with week zero. We're looking for really, you know, like

208
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: you got to feel really good about a game or

209
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: a line to bet on it early, this early in

210
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: the season. We move on to the next game. Here

211
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 1: is Yukon at Utah State. Utah State is a twenty

212
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 1: seven and a half point favorite at home against Yukon,

213
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: and Blake Anderson had these guys humming the Aggies last season?

214
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: Or should we expect more of the same And what

215
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: does a good season look like under new slash old

216
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: head coach Jim Mora for Yukon.

217
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm already smiling because I can't believe I'm about

218
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 3: to make the case to people that bet their harder

219
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 3: and money at Jim Mora in the fighting Yukon Huskies.

220
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 3: But I'm about to do it, Folks, bet yeah, I

221
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: have a huge overlay on this game, a surprising overlay,

222
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 3: although to me this was a surprising line. Although I

223
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 3: guess Vegas they're trying to coach money on to this side.

224
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 3: And you know, a sucker is born every minute, and

225
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 3: I guess the minute that I was born.

226
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 2: I qualified. My overlay on.

227
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 3: This game is the live line is twenty seven and

228
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 3: a half. Utah State obviously favored by twenty seven and

229
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 3: a half. My line on this game is only Utah

230
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: State minus fifteen point seven, So I have an overlay

231
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: on this game of twelve points. By definition, I am

232
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: going to be betting on the Utah or I'm sorry,

233
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: on on Yukon and Jim Mora's returned to college football.

234
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: It's it's hard to make a case for for for

235
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 3: Jim Morri's first roster with Yukon, although he is going

236
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 3: to inject energy back into a roster, into into a

237
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 3: program that has not had it in a very long time.

238
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 3: Randy Edgell, oh my god, his Randy Yes, speaking of

239
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 3: his return to you know, to to the Yukon program,

240
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 3: That one was really really bad, you know, and and

241
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 3: and they kept bringing him back, and then they didn't

242
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: even want to play football out there in the the

243
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 3: COVID season, and that all of Edzel's players were quitting,

244
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 3: and they didn't want to fire him because they didn't

245
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: want to pay him and another guy at the same time.

246
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 3: It was it was really bad there. So they finally

247
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 3: got rid of him. They bring in Mora who. You know,

248
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 3: people get annoyed at mooras Stick, just like they get

249
00:11:56,120 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 3: annoyed at Attick if they're outside the area. But you know,

250
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 3: I'm living in Minneapolis. I people happen to enjoy pleck

251
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 3: here and they enjoy row the boat.

252
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: Yeah it's fun. Maybe it's corny or whatever, but it

253
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: works for them kids, So it works.

254
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.

255
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, And you know in a Yukon, I mean you're

256
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,359
Speaker 3: always gonna have a talent discrepancy.

257
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 2: Just having the kids energetic and.

258
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 3: Ready to play and excited, it's it's gonna be worth

259
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 3: at least something. The other thing, Moura took to the

260
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 3: transfer portal this offseason, you know again like you know

261
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: a time when there was college football free agency, and

262
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: he went and signed some interesting guys right, like you know,

263
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 3: like Takewon Robert Robertson from from Penn State. You know,

264
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 3: a kid who he had some some recruiting hype behind

265
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 3: him coming out.

266
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: We saw him play. He is a good runner to

267
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 2: to this point.

268
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: He has zero accuracy, so he's one of those dual

269
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: threats that is only you know, he's a dual threat

270
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 3: that can't throw basically, but he can do one thing,

271
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 3: which is that the Yukon quarterbacks in the past have

272
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 3: been able to do zero like the past like four years.

273
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: So at least you got that going for you.

274
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: And you know, and he has a couple other quarterbacks

275
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 3: in there too, you know, where they're having the competition.

276
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 3: We'll see who ends up winning it. But you know,

277
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 3: and Nathan Carter, you know, the running back that they have,

278
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 3: he can do a couple of things as well. We'll see,

279
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 3: you know what they could end up tossing together. As

280
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 3: for Utah State, you know, last year was the dream season,

281
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 3: right like, they went eleven and two basically by sneaking

282
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 3: up on everyone in Blake Anderson's first year, literally just

283
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 3: by ambushering people. And it happened really quickly, right like

284
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 3: even like in early October, we didn't really realize what

285
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 3: was happening. And then all of a sudden you looked

286
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 3: up at the standings and you're like, wait a second, like,

287
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 3: how is how is Utah State? Like seven and two?

288
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 3: And then all of a sudden they were you know,

289
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 3: like ten and two and then eleven and two. It's like,

290
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: what is what is going on here Utah I think

291
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 3: this is an important point though. Even though Utah State

292
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,680
Speaker 3: finished eleven and two, they only beat two teams by

293
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 3: twenty eight points or more last year.

294
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 2: One of them wasn't CS team.

295
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 3: You know, like and and the other one, by the way,

296
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 3: was a solid team. Granted, I will say, uh, San

297
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 3: Diego State, I did happen to watch that game, the

298
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: entire game. Uh San Diego State. I don't know what

299
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: was going on that they might have COVID or something.

300
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: They also know showed it like it was one of

301
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: those games where you know, I don't know San Diego

302
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: there was like a frat party.

303
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: That the hangover the Hangover game, Yeah it was.

304
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 2: It was one of those where it was yeah, it

305
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: was really weird.

306
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: But but anyway, uh, you know, most of the rest

307
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 3: of the season, Utah State was like like Utah State

308
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 3: has one of those uh you know, Blake Anderson's ethos.

309
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: It's like the clock controlled quick hitting passing game right

310
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 3: and and Logan Bonners like one of those those pocket

311
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 3: passers with you know it. It was like I was

312
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 3: just talking about like the pocket passer with with with

313
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: good short to intermediate accuracy, right, and and they're they're

314
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 3: looking to control the clock and control the ball with

315
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: those quick hitters, and then we're gonna move the chains,

316
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 3: and we're gonna move the chains and like so like that,

317
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 3: and they would keep the you know, the scores would

318
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 3: be close in a lot of their games, and they

319
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 3: would end up, you know, pulling the games out at

320
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 3: the end.

321
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: Because so twenty seven and a half just seems like

322
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: way way too much, even for Yukon, a dog that

323
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: has been a dog for a while, right exactly.

324
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 3: I think the Yukon is going to be able to

325
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 3: hang around, and I think Jim Mora is going to

326
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: to try to do clock control stuff on his own

327
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 3: by establishing the run on his own right between Roberson

328
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 3: between Nathan Carter.

329
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's go over to Wyoming at Illinois. Illinois is

330
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: an eleven point favorite here and Wyoming they were solid

331
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: last year, but they have a lot to replace, so

332
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: I think for most we expect a step back for them.

333
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: For the Cowboys, Brett Bielima had the ALIGNI heading in

334
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: the right direction and throw this line from your from

335
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: your win total preview a Kirkland brand Wisconsin is just

336
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: so fantastic. A plus on that line for an absolutely

337
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: wonderful line for a description of the ALIGNI here, So

338
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: who do you like in this game? And what do

339
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: you expect from these teams this year?

340
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: Yeah?

341
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: And and Bielaman Bilama is building a Kirkland brand Illinois

342
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 3: or you know at Illinois, and he's done it very quickly.

343
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 3: He he has like, you know, his average offensive lineman

344
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: is is do you remember it from the pieces, like

345
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,080
Speaker 3: three hundred and twenty five or three hundred and thirty pounds.

346
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 2: Like his average starting offensive lineman.

347
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: Like they already have the schemes, Yeah, exactly, just enormous upfront.

348
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 3: He has the power running game established already, and he's

349
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: already you know, it's weird like when Archer Sikowski, Like

350
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 3: when he came in, he was like this bally hued

351
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 3: five star quarterback. He's been a huge bus but he

352
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 3: was known as like this lead footed pocket passer Beilima.

353
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 3: You know, he signed him as a transfer. Bilama turned

354
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 3: him into like this quasi dual threat, you know, where

355
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: he's like, you know us just like this this hammer quarterback.

356
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 3: So so Bilima like you know, he's able to turn

357
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 3: guy into his vision for them or whatever. So like

358
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 3: it's what he does. It's impressive and in its own right.

359
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,520
Speaker 3: And now he has signed Tommy DeVito to compete with Sakowski.

360
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 3: Tommy DeVito being another ballet heooed quarterback that didn't necessarily

361
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 3: work out at his previous stop. But Beilama can you know,

362
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,479
Speaker 3: sort of mold him in his own image or whatever.

363
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 3: Illinois passing game is not going to be appreciably better

364
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 3: than it was last year, but the good news is

365
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: is they should be able to run just as well

366
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: as they did last year. And the thing about the

367
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 3: Illinois team is they they you know, they're gonna do

368
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 3: what they do, which again it's just a super duper

369
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 3: knockoff version of like what Wisconsin and Iowa does. It's

370
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 3: that they're going to control the clock, they're going to

371
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 3: shorten the game, they're gonna put their defense in as

372
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 3: good a position as they possibly can. They're gonna play

373
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 3: the field position game, and then they generally play really

374
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 3: good special teams like that.

375
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 2: That's really all it is. They want to play this

376
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: situational football game and and Beelim like did pretty good

377
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 2: with it.

378
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,159
Speaker 3: Like they sort of scratching cloud their way to to

379
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 3: five wins last year. I'm a little bit uh tepid

380
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: on on them this year, you know, as far as

381
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 3: taking the next step, because I don't know where you're

382
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 3: going to Like if you look at the stock Ledger

383
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: and you know, in every single column, I'm not sure

384
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 3: where it jumps up this year because I think he

385
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 3: got as much as he could, like right away, and

386
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:29,360
Speaker 3: you know, I'm not I'm not sure what position it

387
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 3: it jumps.

388
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: Kind of maxed out last year.

389
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 3: Sure, sure, exactly once he gets the better quarterback or

390
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 3: or he gets like the stut running back, I think

391
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: that's where where it starts to tick up. But I

392
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 3: think this team is right around as good as as

393
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 3: last year's, which you know, it's probably you know, good

394
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: for you know, four to five wins or whatever, gonna

395
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 3: be respectable. But you know, I think it's it's right

396
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 3: around there. Meanwhile, Wyoming, you know, it's it's it's what

397
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 3: Wyoming is like Creig Bulls teams always play solid defense.

398
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 2: They lost a.

399
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 3: Lot of defenders, you know, over over the offseason. They

400
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: also lost their quarterback in the transfer portal. They lost

401
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 3: Zavi and validate too, but they didn't care about that

402
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 3: because Titus swyn had knocked him out of the starting

403
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 3: line up at the end of last year, so that was.

404
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: One of those where they didn't really care.

405
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 3: But Wyoming teams, they're always well coached just because of balls,

406
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: so I expect that to be the same thing. To me,

407
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, this line is too high,

408
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 3: and I'll tell you why it's too high. Brett Beelman

409
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 3: does not care about beating teams by double digits. In fact,

410
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 3: he doesn't want to. He wants to keep the scores

411
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 3: as close as possible, just like Farren's you know, just

412
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 3: like they do what Wisconsin, Whereas that's exactly Wyoming's ethos too.

413
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 3: These are two coaches that want to play in three

414
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 3: point games. To me, this line should be you know,

415
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: four points, three points something like that. My adjusted line

416
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 3: on it is Illinois minus five. I'm taking Wyoming, okay, nice,

417
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,000
Speaker 3: I like it. And this should be a very grindy

418
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 3: you know what would they call it? This is a

419
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 3: classic defensive slober knocker.

420
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: Slober knocker. Yeah, that's exactly what it should be. Let's

421
00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: go to Charlotte at FAU Charlotte or, if you excuse me,

422
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: is a seven point favorite. But fau Thor had just

423
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: an epic meltdown last season, and sometimes we can see that.

424
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 1: Sometimes we can see that, uh, you know, extend into

425
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: this season. And Charlotte, Charlotte is a team that was

426
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: good on one side of the ball or not really good.

427
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 1: I guess I should say average on the offensive side,

428
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 1: and the defense was really bad. Can we see their

429
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: defense improve enough for them to contend this year and

430
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: maybe fight for a Bowl game? And who do you

431
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: like in this game?

432
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 2: Yeah?

433
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 3: I think Charlotte could take that that step up, you know,

434
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 3: I mean, heally's been building that thing up.

435
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: Uh. And you know, you got you got Reynolds back.

436
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 2: You got a really.

437
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 3: Good receiving cord there as well. And I like the

438
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 3: offensive system. You know that they're getting closer and closer

439
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 3: and closer. And meanwhile, like fau they they played pretty

440
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 3: good defense. And and Nicosy Perry, you know, he's okay,

441
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 3: you know, for for what he is. And you have

442
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 3: okay position guys, But there's just a cap on on

443
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 3: the offense and I think on the team overall. First

444
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 3: of all, because Willie Taggart is you just sort of

445
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: a risk averse coach, and I think that that hurts

446
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 3: you against good opponents because there's sort of that lack

447
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: of killer in it's It's sort of like being a

448
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: Bikings fan where Mike Zimmer is always coaching not to

449
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 3: lose when you're playing good teams and you give away

450
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 3: you know, close games whatever. But they also have a

451
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: dearth of skill talent, and I think that that hurts

452
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 3: as well in some of these these coin flip coin

453
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: flip games as well. I think FAU is a solid team,

454
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 3: but to me, they're more of like that gatekeeper type

455
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 3: of a team that they're They're just sort of a

456
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: middle tiered team, and Charlotte is moving right into that

457
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 3: phylum as well. So for for me that these teams

458
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:49,959
Speaker 3: are probably closer than they might appear to the naked

459
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: eye in in Vegas right now, this line is, uh,

460
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 3: Charlotte plus seven. You know the game isn't in Boca.

461
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 3: My my adjusted line in this game it's FAU minus

462
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 3: only four point seven points.

463
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 2: I like Charlotte. I I like Charlotte a little bit

464
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 2: more I think than Vegas this year. And I like

465
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: Charlotte in this game as well.

466
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: And there's another game here, North Texas at UTEP, which

467
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: is kind of interesting. North Texas is favored by one point.

468
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 1: But looking at your win total articles on betting pros

469
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 1: from earlier this month, you like UTEP to hit the over.

470
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: This is a close game that they have at home

471
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: thor so they got to win this one to get

472
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: towards that over correct.

473
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, you know they do.

474
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: They do have a lot of you know, what do

475
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: you call coin flip hype. You know, it's a higher

476
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,159
Speaker 3: schedule and there is a lot of those ones that

477
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: are that are close in there, so.

478
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna put them in the top.

479
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: Have to have this one, right.

480
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, but this is this is a close one.

481
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 3: You know this of course, you know, of course just

482
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: by definition with with the line. But it's a pretty

483
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 3: interesting one too, you know. I mean, obviously you have

484
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,360
Speaker 3: had a really good season last year, and Ute is

485
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 3: one of the most interesting teams in the nation in

486
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: that you could cut their performance really predictably. I think

487
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 3: it was like in my numbers. I think it was

488
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 3: like you could cut it at in my power ratings

489
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: like number one oh two, and like the team's ranked

490
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 3: below one O two they went six and oh against them.

491
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:20,800
Speaker 3: It was like something like that, or maybe it was

492
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 3: seven and zero if you had the Bowl game, and

493
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 3: then the teams above that they went zero and six

494
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 3: against and they they got absolutely rolled, like they you know,

495
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 3: they lost by like twenty five points per gamer like

496
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 3: something like that to those teams. So they were one

497
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 3: of those these teams that, like you know, could control

498
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 3: the lower teams and sneak out the wins against them,

499
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,640
Speaker 3: but would just get blasted by any team that had

500
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 3: more more talent than them North Texas. What's interesting about

501
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 3: this matchup then, is North Texas is right on that line.

502
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: They're not crazy crazy more talented than UTEP, but they

503
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 3: are more talented than UTAP, again not appreciably, but they

504
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 3: are so by this rule, you know, I I guess

505
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 3: just by president you would say that the North Texas

506
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 3: would beat them. But again it's not by a ton.

507
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 3: So we'll see if UTEP has has taken a step

508
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 3: forward just by the results of this game. What I

509
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,479
Speaker 3: like about North Texas is skill talent. They have some

510
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: of the most skilled talent in the G five. Their

511
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,679
Speaker 3: receiving room is awesome. If if gy you're shorter, and

512
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 3: Tommy Butcher a healthy. Those guys are are really, really good.

513
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 3: They're big league players. If they're their bodies don't betray

514
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 3: them and they join the Burns or Roderick Burns. I

515
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 3: was blanket on a Yeah. If you know, again, if

516
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 3: the other two guys they're outside receivers, both studs and

517
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 3: then Burns he joined the slot. Now you have three

518
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 3: stud receivers. You just have to figure out the quarterback thing.

519
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 3: Because Austin Owen, who's now like forty years old, if

520
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 3: he whether he can become confident or Grant Canew whether

521
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 3: you know, you finally sort of unearthed.

522
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: You know, he was a hype guy coming out. You

523
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: get competent.

524
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: Quarterback play out of one of those guys, everything is

525
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 3: good to jump up. Because North Texas also has like

526
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 3: five running backs. You know now that Oscar Adaway is back,

527
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 3: because last year they played like four different running backs

528
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 3: after Ataway towards ACL and the.

529
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: Song frustrating for CFF thor I know you know that.

530
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: Exactly, and almost all of them were good on a

531
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 3: per touch basis, but yes, that it was super frustrating

532
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 3: for CFF players because of that.

533
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: How about This is one of the most interesting games

534
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: I think of the week. Nevada is a nine point

535
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: favorite at New Mexico State, but Nevada has lost so

536
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: much sore that I feel like I don't know if

537
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: they should even be favoring this game. At least they

538
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: should not be favored by nine. I think that this

539
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: should be a closer line here. What do you think

540
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: of this game? Is this in Nevada walk because we

541
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: know last year would have been Nevada by thirty, but

542
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: they lost so much. You know, their coach left, took transfers,

543
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,760
Speaker 1: a lot of their talent went to the NFL as well,

544
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: Romeo Dubbs Cole Turner. So what do we think of

545
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: this game? Can New Mexico State Marcus Royo? Can he

546
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 1: lead these guys in check challenge Nevada in this game?

547
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 3: I agree with you that this is one of the

548
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 3: most interesting games of the week, and that right there

549
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 3: shows the.

550
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 2: Level of our brand.

551
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: It is week zero, man, We'll take what we can get. Well,

552
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: we'll take a hit, That's what it is.

553
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 3: That's yeah, because this game, I mean, just in a

554
00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 3: vacuum is like the ugliest run to like, but like

555
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 3: it also is super duper fascinating because yeah, I mean

556
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 3: like Nevada. You know, on the other end of it,

557
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 3: USC is one of the most in fact, I believe

558
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: it's the most remade roster in staff probably year over year,

559
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,679
Speaker 3: probably in college football history. Nevada is like on the

560
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 3: other end, I mean where it also is, but like

561
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 3: on on the negative polarity of it. You know, obviously

562
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 3: U Norvell left for for Colorado State, took his basically

563
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 3: his whole staff with him, took damn near half to

564
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 3: his roster with him as well, and then carts and Strong,

565
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,720
Speaker 3: uh you know, went to the NFL. Multiple other players

566
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: went to the NFL as well. But unfortunately that that

567
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 3: wasn't all for Nevada. A bunch of their other players

568
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 3: left as well.

569
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:04,439
Speaker 2: I mean, this was an exodus unlike any exodus we

570
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: have seen before.

571
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 3: Like you're talking a total crater. They hired this relative

572
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 3: unknown like in the outside football world, in Ken Wilson,

573
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 3: and they're just going to try to cobble together a roster.

574
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 3: But this is bad and and people are starting to

575
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 3: realize this is bad. Like earlier on in the off season,

576
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 3: I saw that their win total, I think it had

577
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 3: opened like maybe like six or five and a half

578
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 3: or like something like where.

579
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: It was way too high. It's down to three and

580
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 2: a half.

581
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: Now, ham are that under Yeah yeah maybe not now

582
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: three and a half sounds about right.

583
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, now it's down to where it ought to be.

584
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 3: But like like it was obviously way too high before.

585
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 3: And then you know, so that that's them on their side.

586
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 3: They are going to be just you know, garbage fire

587
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 3: this year. And then New Mexico state side, they've been

588
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: a garbage fire for a long time. So it's like,

589
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 3: you know, it's like that that that toy story gift

590
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 3: where it's what are you looking at the spood sait

591
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 3: just like me tread But they get Jerry kill, you know,

592
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: and Jerry Kills he'd been out of the game for

593
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 3: a while, you know, for build.

594
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 1: Some programs, though he's done it before.

595
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 3: Jerry's a builder, you know, and he's he's one of

596
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: our own here in Minneapolis. He built up our gulfs

597
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 3: for a while, and obviously he had to step away

598
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 3: from the game for health concerns. But it's really good

599
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 3: to see him back on on the sidelines, and if

600
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 3: he gets some time, he's certainly going to build them

601
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 3: back up like he you know, it's one of those

602
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 3: things where he has a proven method.

603
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 2: He's going to build them back up.

604
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 3: It's probably gonna take him more than a year, you know,

605
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 3: because he's starting, you know, from the ground up here.

606
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,640
Speaker 2: This program has been really bad for a while.

607
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 3: He and he doesn't have a lot of pieces, you know,

608
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 3: like some New Mexico State teams in the past, even

609
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 3: though they've been really bad, they've had like one piece,

610
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 3: Like you remember that New Mexico State team that had

611
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 3: like Larry Rows for a couple of years, or you know,

612
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 3: they like you know, here and there, they've had like

613
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 3: one good player. This team really didn't. But you know, again,

614
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 3: this is the off season of all the player movement,

615
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 3: and Jerry Killed did a couple interesting things in the

616
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: transfer portal. He took some stabs and threw some darts.

617
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 3: One of the interesting ones was there was a really

618
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 3: good Juco quarterback that some other teams wanted to This

619
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 3: kid named Dieg. I believe his last name is Pavia.

620
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 3: Did Diego Pavia. We'll see if they can hit lightning

621
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 3: in a bottle with that kid, or you know, with

622
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 3: a couple of their other guys. But you know again,

623
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 3: Jerry Kill knows how to coach, and he knows how

624
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: here's an important thing. He knows how to coach on

625
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 3: game days like that guy doesn't make mistakes like you know,

626
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 3: both with play calling and also just like the in

627
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,960
Speaker 3: game stuff. It's one of those things when when you're

628
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 3: watching his team, you're never like upset at the decisions

629
00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 3: being made. You know, it's it's like one of those

630
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: so you know, like I trust my my month, you know,

631
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: like betting on him, you know, one of those things.

632
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: And this is one of those where now the line

633
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 3: has come back down where it is closer in line

634
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 3: with reality. Like two weeks ago, even this line was

635
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 3: way off, you know, earlier in the offseason, it was

636
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 3: way off from reality. Now it's much closer to in

637
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 3: line with reality because in these last couple of weeks

638
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 3: people have started to get in tune with how bad

639
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: that is, because Nevada Beat writers are like starting to write, like, guys,

640
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 3: this team is gonna be.

641
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 1: This does not look good right here, Yeah.

642
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 3: Caught garbage. The live line is all the way down

643
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 3: to nine points. My my line, my numbers, it's New

644
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,479
Speaker 3: Mexico plus seven point two. I still think that the

645
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 3: line is too high by by a couple of points.

646
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 3: And I would tell you I think New Mexico State

647
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: is a live dog here.

648
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 2: I will probably wet my beak a.

649
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 3: Little bit on on this money line, and I'll have

650
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 3: a little bit on the spread too.

651
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,320
Speaker 1: And I don't know why I said, Marcus Arroyo, it's

652
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: that trio of New Mexico, New Mexico State UNLV. I

653
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,080
Speaker 1: will I will flip them, uh in their entire teams

654
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: in my brain. For whatever reason, I can't get it right.

655
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

656
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 1: The last game that we have on this schedule, last

657
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: FBS game is Vandy is an eight and a half

658
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: point favorite at Hawaii. You have Hawaii in this game?

659
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: I think, straight up right, are are we still there?

660
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 3: Is that?

661
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Hawaii winning this game? With this

662
00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: high powered offense? This is a you know, a nicely

663
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: recruited team, I would say in Vandy, Uh, but they

664
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: just have not put it together for a while here.

665
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: So should this be Hawaii favorite? Is the wrong team

666
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: favored in this game?

667
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,959
Speaker 2: Yeah? This is one of my biggest overlays of the

668
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 2: entire week. Zero.

669
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 3: You know, like you said, live in Vegas right now,

670
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 3: it's Vanderbilt minus eight and a half. My adjusted number

671
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 3: on this game is Hawaii minus two, so I have

672
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 3: an overlay on this game of ten and a half points.

673
00:31:38,040 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 3: I do believe the wrong team is favored here in

674
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: a vacuum. In my power rankings, I think I have Vandy.

675
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 2: Just slightly, ever so slightly ahead of Hawaii, but with

676
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 2: the home field advantage, it flips it a little bit.

677
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 2: You know. There's a couple of different things going on.

678
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously both of these teams.

679
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,960
Speaker 3: Are they're quite bad.

680
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:00,240
Speaker 2: You know.

681
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 3: With with uh Hawaii, Timmy ching Is is coming back,

682
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 3: you know, the favorite son.

683
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 2: He's replaced Todd Graham. It's you know, it's it's.

684
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 3: Sort of like we're it's it's sort of similar to

685
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 3: like what we were talking about with Yukon, where the

686
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 3: Yukon players were all sick of Randy Edson.

687
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just remember the Randy Edsel when he went

688
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: for everybody's hand up and no one would do it

689
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: with him. I was like, yeah, that is that's on

690
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,840
Speaker 1: the sideline with the camera looking at you.

691
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,479
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it was.

692
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 3: It was even it was even worse for Todd Graham

693
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 3: this offseason when the legislatures of Hawaii started to go

694
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 3: after I'm like, yeah, it was sort of unprecedented when

695
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 3: when uh yeah, when the lawmakers start to go after

696
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 3: your job like that. Yeah, you remember when when the

697
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 3: story came out that that Todd Graham was like he

698
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 3: was he called the Hawaii a third world country because

699
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 3: they didn't have doctor Pepper in the in the pop machetes.

700
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 2: It was like what it was like, oh boy, yeah,

701
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: Todd Lord.

702
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: What a stupid thing to say. You're the head coach

703
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 1: of the most prestigious university.

704
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got I think his firing was announced like

705
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 3: two hours later. It was like, yeah, it's Todd, that's

706
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 3: it's yeah, the hour.

707
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 2: Is nigh Todd. So so you go. You go from

708
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 2: that where literally all your players hate you, all all

709
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 2: the parents hate you, The entire the entire island of

710
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: Hawaii hates you, and and all the lawmakers to the

711
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: entire part of the world hates you.

712
00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: To now all those people love Timmy Chang. Timmy, Yeah,

713
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 3: Timmy Chang would be on the Mount Rushmore of Hawaii.

714
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 1: I did dicey though, like because Scott Frost the same

715
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,640
Speaker 1: thing with Scott Frost and Nebraska. But if you. If

716
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 1: you don't win, it doesn't matter what you did in

717
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: the past, you're gonna get run off. So I was

718
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: I always find that kind of dicey, and I do

719
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: think that those universities will leave the leash a little

720
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 1: too long as well. Sometimes, like Scott Frost. I think

721
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: if Scott Frost was in the Nebraska legend, he probably

722
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't be coaching there this year, right, It'd be somebody

723
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: else because he's a legend. They want to give that

724
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,719
Speaker 1: longer leash. So that can be dicey. But if it works, uh,

725
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, you're a god in that state, so it

726
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: could work.

727
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 2: Without a doubt, I mean without a doubt. But what

728
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 2: Hawaii's program needed right now was a change of culture.

729
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 1: Just anybody, yeah, anybody else on that seat except for

730
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:20,280
Speaker 1: the program.

731
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 3: I think they needed a specific kind of a guy,

732
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 3: right because they had a specific kind of a problem

733
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 3: and so, you know, getting changed it changed what their

734
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 3: problem had been. Chang specifically addressed it, and so like

735
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 3: you know, and not only that he you know, you

736
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 3: address that part of it, but also Chang addresses the

737
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 3: thing of bringing the style of football back that not

738
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 3: only that your fans prefer, but that you utilized in

739
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 3: your heyday that you know that that is always you know,

740
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 3: at the peak of your program, you know that that

741
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:58,480
Speaker 3: that's what you use or whatever.

742
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 1: Sling that rock Timmy Chang, Colt Brennan, Yeah, the Hawaii Classics.

743
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,560
Speaker 2: That's exactly right. Yeah, So so we're going back to

744
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: the the the run and shoot that.

745
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:12,040
Speaker 3: That should be good and we'll see if that ends up,

746
00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 3: you know, playing up the the offense. They also have

747
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 3: to to fix the defense, you know, that's that's been

748
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 3: a problem as well. They don't have a ton of

749
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 3: guys returning. I think it's uh six six guys returning.

750
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:28,400
Speaker 3: It's another situation where they signed a bunch of transfers.

751
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 3: The returning quarterback is Brennan Schrager. I watched that kid

752
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 3: last year, was not impressed. He does have a decent arm,

753
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 3: but you know, just from my eye test, he did

754
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 3: not seem to have a bunch of pocket presence, the accuracy.

755
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 3: Scattershot was putting it nicely. I'll see, you know, we'll

756
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,400
Speaker 3: see what what Timmy Chang can do with them over

757
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 3: the offseason. Because that was obviously working with with Graham

758
00:35:51,000 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 3: and and and he was a young kid at the time,

759
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,320
Speaker 3: but they brought in his competition for him, kim On Cooper,

760
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:59,719
Speaker 3: who was a former hype type type recruit for Mike Leach,

761
00:35:59,800 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 3: you know, was brought in to run that the air

762
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 3: raid was obviously didn't work out there, but you know,

763
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 3: we'll see now down down in Hawaii. And then Joey Yellen,

764
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 3: who is another former height to recruit, So you know,

765
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 3: you have a three headed monster there, and then they

766
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: have a whole bunch of different receivers and you know,

767
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 3: you toss it together. Meanwhile, on the Vanderbilt side, they

768
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 3: have their two quarterbacks back. Neither of them has acquitted

769
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 3: themselves well. Mike Mike Wright ended last season. He hasn't

770
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 3: played super duper well. The backup was the guy that

771
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 3: started last year, Ken Easter Seals. He hasn't been great either.

772
00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 3: The one good piece of news for that offense is

773
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 3: you get back Ramond the Rock Davis, the guy who

774
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 3: had been at Temple previously.

775
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: Uhmond, that's a big running back. I mean, that's a

776
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:45,440
Speaker 1: big get back for sure.

777
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:47,600
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, what I was gonna say.

778
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 3: That kid is going to play in the NFL if

779
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 3: his body doesn't betray him. And that is an enormous

780
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 3: if like when he's playing, he's really good. Like his

781
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 3: talent level is not like for Vane fans, it's not

782
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 3: super duper far off from Key Sean vaugh Like, I mean,

783
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 3: he's he's a good player, and not only that, like

784
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 3: as a runner, he can handle the usage as a receiver,

785
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 3: so you can just feed him volume. But it's it's

786
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 3: like this double edged short because it's like you you

787
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 3: want to feed them all the candy and just like

788
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 3: you know, especially if you're this crappy team like Bandy,

789
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:21,360
Speaker 3: you want to like give him, you know, thirty five touches,

790
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 3: you know whatever. But he he gets injured so easily.

791
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,919
Speaker 3: You know, he's had all these different injuries. And last

792
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:29,919
Speaker 3: year he was playing really well in their first couple

793
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 3: of games and they were all excited and he's gonna

794
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 3: be our big bell call of this year and we're

795
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: gonna give him, you know, two hundred and fifty touches.

796
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 3: And then he gets injured and he's out for the

797
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: year and the second game or whatever. It'll be a

798
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: huge deal for them. Whether he can stay healthy this

799
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 3: entire season. I don't know if they're gonna try to

800
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 3: plat tune in I think his name is Rockoll Griffin

801
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 3: off the bench. That was the kid that that basically

802
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,960
Speaker 3: took over, you know, when when Davis went down, you know,

803
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 3: down the stretch last season, or if they're gonna chuck

804
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 3: try to have Davis, you know.

805
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 1: This time, do it again and see if he holds up,

806
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: I mean might as well. I think if you're Vandy right.

807
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: The definition of insanity though, you know, I.

808
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: Mean, like yeah that's true.

809
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I mean, you know, but like if you know,

810
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 3: if if Davis was healthy, you know, well just speaking

811
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 3: for this game, like if Davis makes it through this game,

812
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 3: like I mean, like he's gonna put up you know,

813
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 3: I mean like one hundred and fifty you know, plus

814
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 3: yards of total offense for sure. I mean, like he's

815
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 3: he's a really good player, so I mean he's going

816
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 3: to be the focal point of the offense.

817
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 2: They also have a pretty good uh receiving corps. You know,

818
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,800
Speaker 2: Will Shepherd is a pretty solid uh stout outside receiver.

819
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 2: So you have a couple of pieces like that. It's

820
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 2: just like the quarterback play, you know, like I said,

821
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 2: hasn't been there. And then they have issues on the

822
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,439
Speaker 2: offensive line. They actually had an NFL player there last year,

823
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 2: it's this kid that transferred to Alabama like he was

824
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 2: a stud and then Alabama's like, yeah, we're gonna We're

825
00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 2: gonna take that kid.

826
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I mean, that's just what happens.

827
00:38:55,680 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 2: And then the defense thinks as well.

828
00:38:57,320 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 3: So I mean, I guess the cliff notes of this

829
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: one would be these two teams are very much in

830
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 3: the same file. It's just that Vandy's, you know, traveling

831
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 3: forty five hundred miles the other way. I'm not really

832
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 3: sure why they are laying you know, seven points on

833
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 3: the road like this. I like Hawaii to win this

834
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 3: game out right.

835
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it, Thor, and it's gonna be an

836
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: exciting season. We will be back with you guys next week.
