These these bigger, more interesting, 34 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 4: I don't know if they're more interesting, but more prestigious 35 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 4: in certain ways schools. 36 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 2: Right, Aunt Becky ensnared in that one. 37 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 4: Yes, and Felicity Huffman, and part of the scheme involved 38 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 4: using college sports teams as ways for these kids to 39 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 4: oh their prospects, their recruits. We're not going through the 40 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 4: normal student avenue to apply to get into USC or 41 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 4: Stanford or Yale or Georgetown or any of these schools. 42 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 4: We're going to try and apply as a prospective student 43 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 4: athlete and therefore bypass the normal channels and have a 44 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 4: coach say yes, except this person. They are somebody I'm 45 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 4: interested in. And because these sports are not necessarily scholarship sports, 46 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 4: and you know it's more difficult with a sport like 47 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 4: football or basketball. 48 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 2: Sure, sure, I got you until. 49 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:53,119 Speaker 4: The solid verbal comes around and gives credibility to whoever 50 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 4: needs it as a college football recruit on whatever level. 51 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 4: Just very casually saying, hey, Ty, did you see uh 52 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 4: Ian uh Ian Fingelson is a pretty interesting h back 53 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 4: out of luth min is sod? 54 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: Did you realize that this will be exhibit A in 55 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: our conspiracy trial? 56 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 4: What I will say is it was all a joke.

And so 58 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 4: because people know we are largely full of nonsense on 59 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 4: this show, sure they will ignore this very seriousness wink 60 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 4: wink of this, this scheme that I've devised.

It looked like it was working out well. 171 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: And then you know, at the end of the day, 172 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: I'm just real curious to know how Utah is going 173 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: to manage to win nine games again, sure, and defy 174 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: the odds despite I know, come August, we're going to 175 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: look at you on say yeah they're seven and five team. 176 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we'll be wrong like we are every every 177 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 4: year they win nine games. I in my mind, UCLA 178 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 4: is incredibly intriguing, not necessarily in the short term, but like, 179 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 4: and you're you are in this business. You're quite literally 180 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 4: in the business of when when a website gets redesigned, 181 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 4: an app gets redesigned. Sorry excuse me, you are in 182 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 4: the information technology business. 183 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 2: You said that was better? 184 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 4: That was better? Yes, when a website gets completely overhauled 185 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 4: and redesigned, or a new operating system comes out, what happens. 186 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 4: Everybody hates it, right, I was like, oh, this, where's 187 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 4: Where's the menu, where's the and then a week later, 188 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 4: two weeks later, it's either real still really bad, or 189 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 4: people just get used to it, people just move on. 190 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 4: I'm curious both as it relates to Chip Kelly and 191 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 4: his career and his legacy as a college coach. And 192 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 4: for UCLA what this whatever it is two point oh 193 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 4: three point oh four point zero, redesign, reboot, refresh, What 194 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,560 Speaker 4: we end up thinking about at the end of twenty 195 00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 4: nineteen with it isn't that is incredibly intriguing to me. 196 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:07,200 Speaker 4: The USC turmoil upheaval, that's all well documented. I'm genuinely 197 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: excited to see what their offense evolves into. With Graham 198 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 4: Harrell the Arizona Schools. Is Kalil tap good again? What 199 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 4: does ASU look like in your two of herm without 200 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 4: Todd Graham? Guys, how deep are they really? Even though 201 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 4: he has recruited pretty well. The melt Tucker thing is 202 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 4: interesting to me, and you mentioned Brandon Huffman. Melt Tucker, 203 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 4: I believe is the one new PAC twelve coach, and 204 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 4: I think I am more excited than I am skeptical 205 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 4: of him. But I'd like to see what they look 206 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,960 Speaker 4: like on the recruiting trail and how much they go 207 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: about doing things in an even slightly unorthodox way. I 208 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 4: would have loved for Colorado to have hired the Princeton 209 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 4: offensive coordinator who ended up at Oklahoma State. Like I 210 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 4: felt like that out of the box hire would have 211 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,400 Speaker 4: been really nice at Colorado because there it really doesn't 212 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 4: seem like they're gonna be able to pull in top 213 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 4: twenty classes, but it's a great place to go to school, 214 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 4: and it's a picturesque experience in Boulder. I'm curious about 215 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 4: that Utah. I don't think there's anything new to wonder 216 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 4: about with Utah. The Utah's Utah under Kyle Winningham. 217 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: I just look at this and I see a tale 218 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: of two cities, with the North being the sim city 219 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: with the cool arcologies, you know, and things are bright 220 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: and sunny and looking up, and the South being just 221 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 1: maybe that side that's going to have a tornado. 222 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,960 Speaker 4: Or the disasters are turned up to ten. A high 223 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 4: crime rate in that area, it's just a rioting. 224 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, A lot going on in the South that I 225 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 1: think makes it more interesting on the surface. 226 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 4: With Utah, just like Yep, they have a rent controlled 227 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 4: building and things are going pretty well. Ye people are 228 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 4: paying the rent. It's a nice little courtyard up north. Though. 229 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,560 Speaker 4: I'm in for sure optimistic about Oregon, but I am 230 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 4: also very much in prove it mode. You tell me 231 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 4: Justin Herbert's a top five pick. You tell me they've 232 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 4: recruited super well. I saw what they looked like on 233 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 4: the road last year. I am show me, prove it. 234 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 4: Let's see it. Washington should once again be very good. 235 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 4: Wazoo is the most fun wild card in the conference. 236 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 4: And I'm worried Stanford is trending downward a little bit. 237 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,839 Speaker 4: I have some worry about that, But otherwise, I think 238 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 4: in terms of variability, in terms of storylines, as we've 239 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 4: seen year in and year out when we had the 240 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 4: Big Twelve, sky is falling. They're going down to ten teams. 241 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 4: They can't attract anybody to join the conference, and the 242 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 4: only teams they can attract are from the AAC or 243 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,199 Speaker 4: from whatever conference that really isn't a huge market or 244 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 4: a huge athletic program. And then suddenly they make the playoff, 245 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield goes number one on They're all coaching and over, 246 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 4: and the Big Twelve becomes the most entertaining conference in 247 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 4: college football. So what it tells me. It's not necessarily 248 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 4: that it's cyclical. It's just hard to stay depressing for 249 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 4: very long. In college football, things can. 250 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 2: Change very quickly. Yeah, can change very very quickly. 251 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: That's where my head is at all, right, well, Dan, 252 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: I also wanted to point out that every man looks better, 253 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: feels better, is more confident in general when he puts 254 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 1: on a suit, especially if it's an Indo chinosuit.

In 313 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 4: our PAC twelve autopsy, a story came out that Larry 314 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 4: Scott is staying in a seventy five, one hundred dollars 315 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,720 Speaker 4: a night suite in Las Vegas for the PAC twelve tournament. 316 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 4: I have no idea how true any of these numbers are. 317 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 4: What is the nicest hotel room you have ever stayed in? 318 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 4: As somebody who is constantly in hotel rooms. 319 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 3: You know, it's actually in the Vegas area. Okay, I 320 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 3: had some buddies who had a hookup in like a 321 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 3: Green Valley Ranch or Green Valley. 322 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like Henderson, Nevada. 323 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 3: It is in Henderson, Nevada. And you know, I think 324 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 3: we had like eight flat screen TVs in the in 325 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 3: the place it was. We got a deal and we 326 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 3: got a deal for like five ninety nine at night, 327 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 3: and that was a deal. I was like, wait, and 328 00:16:57,160 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: this was I don't know, this is fifteen years ago 329 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 3: or so, but it was an outrageously nice setup we 330 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 3: had at that point that would be the nicest in 331 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 3: terms of in terms of on the road with Fox. 332 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 3: A couple of years ago, we did a big, big, 333 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 3: Big twelve title game. We stayed at the Four Seasons 334 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 3: maybe in Las Colinas, And when we were there, it 335 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 3: was the same time the Redskins were playing the Cowboys 336 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 3: on a Thursday night game and they were the Redskins 337 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,360 Speaker 3: were staying it hotel. It was a pretty awesome set 338 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: up there, But again I would go with the one 339 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 3: in Vegas that really really popped. 340 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,600 Speaker 4: What's the number one amenity you need? Is it a gym? 341 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 4: Is it you know high water pressure? Is it a 342 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 4: super comfortable bed, dependable Wi Fi? What is the one 343 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 4: atop all amenity mountains? 344 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 3: Oh? That's good. I would say a great gym really 345 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 3: stands out. Our TV crew last year we would we 346 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 3: would joke with the fittest crew in college football show. 347 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 3: We would we love a couple of places we had 348 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,240 Speaker 3: that had like real big gyms and and set ups 349 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 3: as the postig. Remember we had the Apple Cup and 350 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 3: there were three of us in the in the workout room, 351 00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 3: which was like literally like a closet any place else, 352 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,399 Speaker 3: and so where you'd have to like stretch outside in 353 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 3: the hall or outside literally while other people were like 354 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 3: on the one elliptical. So I would say, probably Jim, 355 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,120 Speaker 3: that's that's the number one thing. 356 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,880 Speaker 4: This is you Joe Davis and Brady Quinn. Yes, Okay, 357 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,919 Speaker 4: now I can see that. I don't know who which 358 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 4: crew would rival that. I'm trying to think of, like 359 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 4: former linebackers that are in crazy shape. Chris Pielman is not. No, 360 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 4: I think that's probably herb Street and Fowler is not bad. 361 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 3: No, But I mean, like right now, Brady's still in 362 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 3: pretty ridiculous shape. He looks like an NFL tight end. 363 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 3: Mar'ting that many any analysts who are in that shape. 364 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 3: Joe is young. I mean, Joe is like. I don't 365 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,600 Speaker 3: say it's half the age of Chris, because Chris is 366 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,399 Speaker 3: in really good shape, whether he's you know, thirty five 367 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 3: or you know, fifty, but you know, Joe is like 368 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 3: thirty one years old. So you know, I think we 369 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 3: all are like huge workout people. So I think that's 370 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,200 Speaker 3: part of it. I'm probably dragging the dragging down that curve. 371 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 3: But I did want to play basketball against Maria Taylor 372 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 3: at TCU one day. She's there sideline. 373 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 4: How'd you do Marie? 374 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 3: It was a college athlete, she was sports there. I 375 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 3: do remember, like, you know, her trying to post us. 376 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 3: It's like, you need to get out of here. This 377 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 3: is embarrassed. 378 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 2: Wow. I like it. 379 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 4: All right, let's go to football before you talk about 380 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 4: embarrassing basketball stories. Give me a number between one and twelve. 381 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 4: We will attack this randomly, and so I don't select teams. 382 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 4: I want to talk about more than others and you 383 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 4: do the same number between one and twelve. 384 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: First number is eight. 385 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 4: Okay, we're talking Stanford. Stanford, they have a lot to 386 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 4: replace both with their offensive skill. I think the top 387 00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 4: three or four pass catchers gone new offensive coordinator that 388 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 4: makes us all feel very old and Tavita Prichard, and 389 00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 4: I think they're replacing a lot on the back half 390 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 4: of their defense. Question to you is, do you think 391 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 4: kJ Costello is good enough to will this offense forward? 392 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:16,840 Speaker 4: I think I do? Do you? 393 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 3: I do? We We did have done a couple of 394 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 3: kJ Costello games. I'm a believer in him. You're right, 395 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 3: they did lose some really good skill guys. The offensive line, 396 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 3: which has some talent. You know, is the first year 397 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 3: in the post Mike won Boom gern Era. I know 398 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 3: a lot of people like Kevin Carberry. He's a Bill 399 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 3: Callahan disciple that worked with in the NFL. He's the 400 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 3: a line coach. I think they have talent there. I'm 401 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 3: not sure to me they I don't want to get 402 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 3: ahead of your script here, but I should think they're 403 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 3: probably the third best team in the division. Ok. Costello notwithstanding, 404 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 3: I think kJ Coussel is actually as good as any 405 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 3: quarterback will be in the conference. 406 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 4: Okay, fair enough, give me a number, another number between 407 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:02,879 Speaker 4: one and twelve, just not eight twelve, all right? Number 408 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,960 Speaker 4: twelve is Washington States. And they looked awesome last year 409 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 4: and that was that was the grad transfer quarterback, a 410 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 4: total new look coaching staff, replacing a bunch of big 411 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 4: deal guys on both sides of the ball. Has Washington 412 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 4: State reached the point where anything less than say, nine 413 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 4: wins is a disappointment, especially in this version of the 414 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 4: PAC twelve. 415 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 3: It shouldn't be, though, I mean, I would say anything 416 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 3: less than eight wins should probably a disappointment. A nine 417 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 3: wins is I mean, remember they won nine games in 418 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 3: the whole four year Paul Woolf lun So, I think 419 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 3: you got to be realistic. I think last year was 420 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 3: somewhat of an aberration. They never won eleven games until 421 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 3: last year. I think a lot of that was on 422 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 3: Gardner Minshew and kind of the magic quorra he brought 423 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 3: to them. He's talented, and I thought he just reached 424 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 3: and told me. I think before the Apple Cups he's 425 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 3: the best leader we've ever had at a quarterback. And 426 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 3: that included his time at Texas Tech. So the receivers 427 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 3: are still really good. I think Max Borgy is going 428 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,040 Speaker 3: to be a really good player. For them to obviously 429 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 3: lose Andre Dillard, who's their best offensive lineman, I think 430 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 3: it's going to hurt them as much as anything. They're 431 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 3: losing Peyton Paloor, who is a really good college player 432 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 3: in the middle of that defense. I look at them 433 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 3: and think they're going to be probably a seven or 434 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 3: eight win team. I think Stanford, Oregon and Washington are better. 435 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 3: I mean, look, Washington whipped them ever since Chris Peterson's 436 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 3: got in the conference. Leach was four and one last 437 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 3: year and games decided by six points. Sometimes that swings 438 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,400 Speaker 3: swings the other way. You know. I think the road 439 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 3: schedule is not n easy. They got to go, you know, 440 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 3: even those teams that I mentioned. And by the way, 441 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 3: Cal has held them to less than ten points a 442 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 3: game since Justin Wilcox has been the head coach though 443 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 3: last two years. Yeah, So I don't know. I'm just 444 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 3: I looked at the over under on the seat and 445 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 3: win total, and I don't think Washington State's gonna I 446 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 3: think they're gonna take a little. 447 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 4: Bit here, all right, A number between one through twelve, 448 00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 4: not number twelve or number eight, number one, number one, 449 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 4: Let's talk USC. See we waited till the third team 450 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 4: to talk USC. That's how democratic this is. And after 451 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 4: last year ended and with how the offseason has gone, 452 00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 4: is there a sense that USC's twenty nineteen potential is 453 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 4: maybe the word is capped or is there hope USC 454 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 4: can almost overachieve with a downpack twelve and still a 455 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 4: considerable talent advantage most of the time. 456 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 3: If you're USC, overachieving is going to the playoff in 457 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 3: this case, Okay, I mean, I know they won five games, 458 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:52,160 Speaker 3: but you still have better talent than anybody in your 459 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 3: division at least. And they have three young players in 460 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 3: there at all three levels on the defense who I know? 461 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,200 Speaker 3: You know people? I was at the up all combat 462 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 3: two weeks ago and there are three guys were mentioned. 463 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 3: They're all like freshman or last year. They have talent. 464 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 3: I'm curious to see how the Graham Herald transition without 465 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 3: a Lion coach, full line coach, who is you know 466 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,199 Speaker 3: he brought or has familiarity in the scheme they have. 467 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,720 Speaker 3: They have really good receivers. Their offensive line has been disappointing. 468 00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 3: I think they will be better with the Graham Herald there, 469 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 3: but I and they'll have more of an identity. But 470 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 3: I don't know if they're going to be more than 471 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,080 Speaker 3: an eight win team. Do you look at that first 472 00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 3: six games they have, it's rough. And if they're three 473 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:39,240 Speaker 3: and three and there's a blowout or two in there, 474 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 3: which is entirely possible, and you look who they play, 475 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,800 Speaker 3: they can pull the plug on Clay help and try 476 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 3: to get a head start on the coaching search. So 477 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,000 Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm not optimistic. I think I think 478 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: eight to four is probably about as high as I'll 479 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 3: go with that group. 480 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 4: Is their belief do you think among the players in 481 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 4: this coaching staff, obviously externally fans administrators, the belief is 482 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 4: sort of wavering in the Clay Hilton staff. But do 483 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 4: the players still buy in? 484 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,199 Speaker 3: Uh, that's a great question. I don't know what the 485 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 3: real answer on that is. I guess we'll find out. 486 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 3: I mean, from what I had heard before the start 487 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 3: of spring spring football was that they had that some 488 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 3: of the kind of message board kind of panic that 489 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:23,880 Speaker 3: you would usually have, that some of that has kind 490 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 3: of seeped into the football building. And because you'd have 491 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 3: kids in the go into the transfer portal and some 492 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 3: of the other the other angst started to mount. So 493 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 3: I don't know. That's that's the challenge is who who 494 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 3: is the leadership and how strong is that there inside 495 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:47,439 Speaker 3: the locker room. I mean, people are going to be 496 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 3: people are gonna be curious to see what's going on 497 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,959 Speaker 3: because there's gonna be all kinds of rumblings about when 498 00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 3: you're on such a hot seat there. But the leadership, BOYD, 499 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,439 Speaker 3: is real inside the USC. 500 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 4: All right, let's stay in LA. I'll make you pick 501 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 4: another number. But you feel like going into last year, 502 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,520 Speaker 4: you on this show talked about the Bruins just playe 503 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 4: not having an even decent roster of Pac twelve caliber players. 504 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 4: So how much closer are the Bruins now to having that? 505 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 4: And overall do you believe this is what this is 506 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 4: what Chip Kelly envisioned, what you know, what would they 507 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 4: would look like between year one and year two? 508 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,680 Speaker 3: I think they are. They are closer to being a 509 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,239 Speaker 3: I think they're probably a Bowl team now, okay, and 510 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 3: I think they're probably a seven win team. I don't 511 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 3: think they have a ton of talent there, but they 512 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 3: have pretty much everybody back on defense except for a 513 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,840 Speaker 3: Darius Pickett, who is a really good solid safety, and 514 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,400 Speaker 3: they got back They're going to get back Josh Woods, 515 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 3: who might have been their best player, but he missed 516 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 3: all last year with injury. They have a lot of 517 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 3: young guys in the D line fit what they want. 518 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 3: I think they're still probably not ready those players, but 519 00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:59,000 Speaker 3: at least they have guys who have experienced in the 520 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 3: system and they know what what Kelly and that staff want, 521 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 3: not just on the field, but in every aspect of 522 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 3: being UCLA football players. I think Dorian Thompson Robinson, he's 523 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 3: talented and everything I've heard has been very positive of 524 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,199 Speaker 3: how he's how he continues to develop there. So I 525 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 3: mean that's a big plus. As far as the skill 526 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 3: guys to Saint Oregon, they do not have dynamic change, 527 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 3: game changing guys, you know they have. They have a 528 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 3: couple of guys who can do some you know one 529 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 3: thing really well. Has Allen, who is I think Kelly's 530 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 3: first recruit there. He's a He's a small freshman who's 531 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 3: got a ton of speed, but I think you know 532 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 3: that expression, he's a track guy, not a football player 533 00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 3: of vice versa. I mean at this point, it feels 534 00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:50,440 Speaker 3: like he's a track guy, and so you know, where 535 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 3: does where does that? Joshua Kelly in our game we 536 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,840 Speaker 3: did the USC UCLA game. He ran for almost three 537 00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 3: hundred yards against against USC. He's a former one double 538 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 3: way back. It wasn't like he was a great running 539 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 3: back in the one double A level, but he did 540 00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 3: some nice things and they got better in the last 541 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 3: month of the season. I mean, you look, they average 542 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:11,560 Speaker 3: almost five hundred yards a game in the last month 543 00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 3: of the season and like three thirty or three fifty 544 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 3: in the first two months. So I clearly shows there 545 00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 3: they're kind of getting a better graph of what this 546 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:23,920 Speaker 3: version of Chip Kelly is doing as opposed to you know, 547 00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:25,679 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people remember from the Oregon 548 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 3: days and he's done. He does, you know, some things 549 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 3: a little bit differently scheme wise, but you know, again, 550 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 3: the personnel is still not great. I mean I would 551 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 3: guess that their personnel they don't have any running back 552 00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 3: like JJ Taylor. They don't have the receivers that USC has, 553 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 3: and they don't have the physicality on both lines and 554 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 3: the maturity that Utah has. So you know, I think 555 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 3: they're probably right now I think they go through three 556 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 3: wins to maybe seven. You know, maybe they can get 557 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 3: to eight. I don't know. But I think the key 558 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,800 Speaker 3: thing with him more than anything is development and guys 559 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 3: who understand and believe in what they're doing. And I 560 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 3: think that's when the transition has kind of been, you know, 561 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,479 Speaker 3: take us two steps forward, one step back in some ways. 562 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,120 Speaker 4: All right, let's go to Oregon. Then, because it's obviously 563 00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,440 Speaker 4: Chips former school. The Ducks will get they'll get a 564 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 4: lot of top of conference attention because of Justin Herbert 565 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 4: and recent recruiting. But to what extent are you? Are 566 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 4: you a believer and the rest of this team and 567 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:37,160 Speaker 4: this coaching staff as conference contender, Oh, this is gonna 568 00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 4: be good. This is the literation conference contender caliber, especially 569 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 4: when they when they like face planted last year. They 570 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 4: really face planted in those first halfs against Wazoo in 571 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 4: Arizona and Utah. 572 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, look, they have good frontline talent. I 573 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 3: think they're still building up the depth. They're gonna miss 574 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 3: Dylan Mitchell. They had one really good receiver and he 575 00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,520 Speaker 3: was it. I think they're going to be really good 576 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 3: on the offensive line. That's a big plus. I like 577 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 3: Justin Herbert as a as a guy. I think he's, 578 00:30:09,760 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 3: you know, a great student. Off the field, He's got 579 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 3: a lot of talent. I you know, you wonder if 580 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 3: he's gotten you know, when people talk about him as 581 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 3: the first pick in the draft part if he will 582 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 3: come in. I'm a little skeptical of that. I don't think, 583 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 3: you know, I don't see I don't see that at 584 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 3: this point. Defensively, they're okay, you know, I like the 585 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 3: hire of Andy Abolos, who did really well at Boise State. Well, 586 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 3: here's what concerns me about Oregon. I think Oregon is 587 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 3: the top twenty team. But here's what concerns me about them. 588 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 3: They were not a good team on the road land 589 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 3: you love. You know, they get drilled at Pullman, they 590 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:54,560 Speaker 3: get absolutely smashed by a very mediocre Arizona team. They 591 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 3: get beat at Utah. That's not good. I mean basically 592 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,160 Speaker 3: the only place they went to that they won it 593 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 3: was core Ballast. That isn't a far trip. And I'm 594 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 3: sorry they did win. You know, they did win a 595 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:07,840 Speaker 3: cow so. 596 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:09,320 Speaker 4: I won a col Yeah, that's not that. 597 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that that part concerns me, especially when you 598 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 3: look at now where they have to go, you know, like, yeah, 599 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 3: Washington State was a pretty good team last year, but 600 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 3: but Arizona wasn't and they got blown out there. I 601 00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 3: mean they lost at Utah. That's not an easy place 602 00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 3: to play. But now you're talking about, you know, having 603 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,480 Speaker 3: to go to Washington, having to go to Stamford. Those 604 00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,120 Speaker 3: are not going to be those are not going to 605 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 3: be easy trips. So and they have a tough opener. 606 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 3: But right now I'm pump the brakes on Oregon. I 607 00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 3: think they're a top fifteen ish kind of team. I 608 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 3: don't know if they're more than that. Until they showed 609 00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:46,360 Speaker 3: that they can they can really do it on the road, 610 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 3: I think that's right. 611 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, that all sounds that. It sounds reasonable, And 612 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 4: we can then talk about a team that has had 613 00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 4: a higher ceiling recently in Washington Oregon's i think chief 614 00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 4: rival at this point until Oregon State sort of gets 615 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 4: back to a more respectable level. And even with losing 616 00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 4: what they lost this year, especially on defense, they've built 617 00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 4: a wrecking crew on that side of the ball. It's 618 00:32:08,960 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 4: consistent coaching and recruiting. Why has the offense struggled to 619 00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 4: keep up is you know, they've built up the experience 620 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,720 Speaker 4: was it was it just sort of a Jake Browning 621 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:21,080 Speaker 4: has a ceiling and he is going to have two 622 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 4: and a half total dud games every year, and that's 623 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 4: that's sort of that. Is there something beyond that? 624 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's a fair assessment. I think you 625 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,920 Speaker 3: also had Bush Hampden kind of growing into the role 626 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 3: as a play caller there as offensive coordinator. I think 627 00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 3: the receiver play was pretty underwhelming. We'll see if Junior 628 00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 3: Adams comes in highly touted, what kind of impact he 629 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 3: can make with a younger group of receivers. They've red 630 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 3: shirted some kids who are very hyped. We'll see if 631 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 3: they can deliver. They're One of the bigger storylines on 632 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,600 Speaker 3: the West Coast is going to be Jacob Eason, who 633 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,840 Speaker 3: was once ranked five star. Is he that or is 634 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 3: he the guy some some folks inside the Georgia program 635 00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 3: are a little skeptical. 636 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:05,960 Speaker 4: Of what do you think. 637 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:10,600 Speaker 3: I'm not you know, I'm I don't. I'm not sure 638 00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 3: he's going to be the five star guy. You know, 639 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,760 Speaker 3: I think some of the things, some of the things 640 00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 3: that the people inside Georgia or Leiria are the kinds 641 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 3: of things that I feel like the recruiting guys may 642 00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 3: not see which is how well does he how well 643 00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 3: does he find open receivers? How accurate is he? I mean, 644 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 3: no doubt, he's legit, big six', five and he's got 645 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:38,479 Speaker 3: a really really strong. Arm but if he can't connect 646 00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 3: with open receivers and see and see defense as, well 647 00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,560 Speaker 3: that great arm isn't going to help him that, much you. 648 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,840 Speaker 3: Know AND i feel like the expectations are really really, 649 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:53,680 Speaker 3: high AND i would be a little more cautious on. 650 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,760 Speaker 3: That they also Lost Miles, gastrin who's the all time 651 00:33:56,840 --> 00:34:00,719 Speaker 3: leading rusher. There SO i still think they're probably the 652 00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 3: best team on The West coast BECAUSE i think that, 653 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,800 Speaker 3: defensively even with the secondary guys they, lost they've recruited 654 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 3: so well on the back, end AND i still think 655 00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:10,640 Speaker 3: they got a bunch of you they have some really 656 00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 3: good young d linemen to couple that with the TALENT 657 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 3: i think they have in the.

STATE asu was they were 837 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,160 Speaker 4: actually quietly pretty good down the stretch they ran away From. 838 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,239 Speaker 4: UTAH i think that was When Tyler huntley got. 839 00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:45,520 Speaker 1: Hurt. 840 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,239 Speaker 4: Though they Took oregon to the wire And. Eugene but 841 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,960 Speaker 4: as we as we enter into year two of this, 842 00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 4: staff do you expect things to lean?

DEFENSE i don't. 848 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 3: KNOW i, mean Many wilkins played a ton of football for, Them, 849 00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,759 Speaker 3: Obviously Nikhil harry was just a real go to. Guy 850 00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:21,319 Speaker 3: hm they still, have you, Know, BENJAMIN i feel. Weird you, 851 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,040 Speaker 3: Know i'm saying it's just BECAUSE i wasn't on The 852 00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 3: herm bandwagon to start, with and he delivered better THAN 853 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 3: i thought he. 854 00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 4: Did they were really competitive all. 855 00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,480 Speaker 3: Year they, were and they Beat Michigan, state which was 856 00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 3: a good, win maybe not a great win and repspract 857 00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 3: but it was about as good an out of conference 858 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 3: win as anybody else. HAD i don't. KNOW i don't 859 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:42,560 Speaker 3: know if they're going to get much, better, THOUGH i really. 860 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,759 Speaker 3: Don't i'm Still, county still skeptical on. 861 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,200 Speaker 4: This, okay and that team that they did beat Comfortably. 862 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,400 Speaker 4: Utah they come out of the gate last year scoring 863 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 4: like eight points a, game and then they score something 864 00:44:54,120 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 4: like forty a game In, october and then it was 865 00:44:57,120 --> 00:45:00,920 Speaker 4: a nightmare Against washington And. Northwestern they are the most 866 00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:05,840 Speaker 4: consistently pretty good team in the. Conference are they getting 867 00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 4: any closer to that on offense, now especially that they 868 00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 4: lose their offensive. COORDINATOR i think they. 869 00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,839 Speaker 3: ARE i think they're the closest thing to a sure, 870 00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 3: thing not necessarily sure, thing like they're going to win the, 871 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 3: conference but like, YOU i feel like you know what you're. 872 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:22,520 Speaker 3: Getting they have key, injuries and they still kind of 873 00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 3: play through because because they're so tied into his identity 874 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,400 Speaker 3: of being. Physical bradley AND i is one of the 875 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,879 Speaker 3: best defensive, line best defensive players in the. Conference they're 876 00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 3: going to lose some good guys in the middle of 877 00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:38,600 Speaker 3: the defense who could run down a bunch of plays 878 00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,600 Speaker 3: and make. Plays BUT i still think with, them and, 879 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,440 Speaker 3: again you, know they had key injuries at quarterback and 880 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 3: running back and they still played for the conference title 881 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 3: and we're right there Against washington and they were close 882 00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 3: to winning. It SO i think they're the. Team And 883 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,480 Speaker 3: i've said this before just from when you do games 884 00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 3: and you're on the sideline for, games there is no 885 00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,200 Speaker 3: team is more of an eye opener to watch play 886 00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 3: Than utah if you just kind of, like, OH i 887 00:46:04,280 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 3: don't know how they, winning un your good coach on 888 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,399 Speaker 3: how he does. It when you see him from field, 889 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:10,759 Speaker 3: level you know exactly how they do it because they're super. 890 00:46:10,760 --> 00:46:14,000 Speaker 3: Physical they don't they're a good tackling, team and they're 891 00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 3: pretty much tougher than just about everybody they. Play so you, 892 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 3: know If Tyler, huntley who does some really good, things 893 00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 3: if he really can stay healthy and continue to build on, 894 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,640 Speaker 3: it they, can and not only can they play for 895 00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:36,520 Speaker 3: they're a top fifteen, team then you know THEY i 896 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 3: don't know if they're more than, that but AGAIN i 897 00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:41,799 Speaker 3: think THEY'RE i think they're very very good AND i 898 00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:42,960 Speaker 3: think they'll be very very. Good. 899 00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 4: Again final team Is Oregon, state whose limitations are pretty. 900 00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 4: Clear but what are the positive takeaways from a pretty 901 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,959 Speaker 4: brutal twenty eighteen and are are any of those meaningful moving? 902 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:59,120 Speaker 3: Forward Jamar Jefferson.

Twelve and one of 1004 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 4: them is IF usc Beats Washington state two years ago 1005 00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 4: In pullman and makes it into the playoff at whatever 1006 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,040 Speaker 4: twelve and one are we having this conversation if THE 1007 00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:34,280 Speaker 4: pac twelve has a premiere program on a national stage, 1008 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:37,879 Speaker 4: consistently AND i Know washington was in the, playoff and 1009 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:40,680 Speaker 4: this will come across bias BECAUSE i can't help but 1010 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,400 Speaker 4: be biased as An oregon, FAN i think on The 1011 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,960 Speaker 4: West coast because you are so far. Away unless you 1012 00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:50,520 Speaker 4: are a team who has been good and has built 1013 00:52:50,600 --> 00:52:53,880 Speaker 4: up goodwill amongst national college football fans for years and, 1014 00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 4: years LIKE Us seed did Under Pete carroll And oregon 1015 00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:00,520 Speaker 4: did Under ballotti And Chip, kelly that it will take 1016 00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,759 Speaker 4: time for people to care about A West coast. Team 1017 00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,880 Speaker 4: and so If arizona runs the table this, YEAR i 1018 00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:09,840 Speaker 4: don't think anybody will care. Nationally If utah runs the, 1019 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:11,920 Speaker 4: TABLE i don't think it will move a. Needle AND 1020 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:15,040 Speaker 4: i Think washington And Washington state being. GOOD i think 1021 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,919 Speaker 4: they both finished in the top twelve this past. YEAR 1022 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 4: i think people just don't care because they're not you, 1023 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,880 Speaker 4: know people Know Mike, leach BUT i don't think they 1024 00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,879 Speaker 4: fully Trust Washington state because of how bad they were 1025 00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,320 Speaker 4: not too long. Ago AND i think they don't Trust 1026 00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,920 Speaker 4: washington because when we've seen them on that national, stage 1027 00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,280 Speaker 4: whether it's in the, playoff whether against it's Against, auburn 1028 00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,880 Speaker 4: whether it's Against Ohio state this, year whether it's AGAINST 1029 00:53:38,040 --> 00:53:40,120 Speaker 4: usc on that Big saturday night GAME i think that 1030 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:43,480 Speaker 4: was On, fox they've always come up. Short AND i 1031 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,920 Speaker 4: don't think there's trust. Yet and that short of Either 1032 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,640 Speaker 4: oregon OR usc as a top five to seven, TEAM 1033 00:53:51,080 --> 00:53:53,600 Speaker 4: i think The pac twelve has a, really really tough. 1034 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 4: Climb but if they do have one of those, TEAMS 1035 00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:57,560 Speaker 4: i don't think anybody freaks. 1036 00:53:57,560 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 3: Out, Yeah AND i think that's it's hard to say, 1037 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 3: say but, right, look if if you, know If oregon 1038 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:10,080 Speaker 3: doesn't lose in the last second field goal To, auburn 1039 00:54:10,560 --> 00:54:12,399 Speaker 3: you know there's a national title, there AND i think 1040 00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:14,880 Speaker 3: people do that change the. Perception, no BUT i think 1041 00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,320 Speaker 3: THERE'S i think there's little things because people can write 1042 00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:22,680 Speaker 3: off well that year That utah Beat alabama in a bowl. 1043 00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,200 Speaker 4: Game Well, alabama you, know they were A Mountain west 1044 00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:26,839 Speaker 4: team then, TOO i. 1045 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 3: Know BUT i mean it's still it's still you, know 1046 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:32,040 Speaker 3: it's like people write that stuff off when it's like 1047 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,440 Speaker 3: a one off or it's hard for, them you, know 1048 00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:38,600 Speaker 3: to get, around you, know the, reality because people are 1049 00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 3: entirely going to believe what they want to, believe, right 1050 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,960 Speaker 3: and those perceptions don't happen, overnight, right you, know like 1051 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,880 Speaker 3: If i'm A Notre dame, fan like The orange has 1052 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,880 Speaker 3: been really good except when they played you, know teams 1053 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:55,440 Speaker 3: that are more talented and they've gotten absolutely. Pummeled, sure 1054 00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:59,280 Speaker 3: and that's you, know you can say whatever you, want 1055 00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:04,239 Speaker 3: but it's like it's a perception, game, Right and when 1056 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 3: you're a top, team which used to BE, ufc when 1057 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:09,919 Speaker 3: they're not very, good you, know like you can knock 1058 00:55:10,280 --> 00:55:12,359 Speaker 3: like you can knock THE acc all you. Want right, 1059 00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:15,359 Speaker 3: Now clemson's is, good if not better than everybody. Else 1060 00:55:15,719 --> 00:55:17,320 Speaker 3: the rest of the. Division the rest of the conference 1061 00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,879 Speaker 3: doesn't look very, good but at least at the, top they're, 1062 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,120 Speaker 3: strong and that's the stuff that people pay attention. To 1063 00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,359 Speaker 3: once you start sorting, out like how good or how, 1064 00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:29,600 Speaker 3: bad Like arkansas was horrible this. Year nobody really cared, 1065 00:55:29,680 --> 00:55:32,439 Speaker 3: though because you, know you have you have these other 1066 00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,640 Speaker 3: teams that are heavyweight. Teams you, Know it's like you 1067 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,719 Speaker 3: very rarely have an argument whether Whether Oregon state Or 1068 00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:45,520 Speaker 3: arkansas Or minnesota Or rutgers are the worst. Team, Right 1069 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,000 Speaker 3: it's it's about the top of the division and top 1070 00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 3: of the. Conference AND i think that's where it. Hurts 1071 00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 3: where like you, said some of The washington, games you, 1072 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,400 Speaker 3: know If Buddha baker picks Off jalen hurts at the 1073 00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 3: beginning of the playoff, Game, yeah it's that a different. 1074 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,359 Speaker 3: Game now With, washington are they playing from the?

Different but you, know one big play 1077 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:12,400 Speaker 3: can make a big. Difference we've seen plenty of examples of. 1078 00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 4: That, Yeah AND i think if YOU i don't think 1079 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 4: it's actually unique to THE pac. Twelve AND i still 1080 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:20,279 Speaker 4: think THE pac twelve has a number of distribution and 1081 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,400 Speaker 4: network and perception issues regardless of the on field and 1082 00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 4: the top of the.
