1
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 1: All right, welcome in Lake Kick is Live. It is

2
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: Sunday night, November twenty second, the year of our Lord,

3
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. I would say safely, Colin, you would know

4
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 1: even better than me right now, probably the most jam

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: packed show that we've had to date this year. I mean,

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: it wasn't a weekend where we had multiple top ten

7
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 1: against top ten matchups, but it was just a loaded

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: weekend and maybe in some cases more loaded than you realize.

9
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: I'll let you know in just a second, but it's

10
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: our most loaded show to date. I will say that

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: the number of you that chimed in in my DM's

12
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: email inbox last night was off the charts. So if

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: that's any indication, I expect the show to do some

14
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,319
Speaker 1: pretty good traffic. I've also got some numbers In fact,

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to give them to you in like the

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: next two minutes, even before we dive into our first topic.

17
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: That will just they blow my mind. Maybe they'll blow

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: your mind. JT. Daniels, the era has begun? Emphatically? Might

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: I add in Athens Georgia, Ohio state survives Indiana Not

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: necessarily a sentence. I invintioned myself saying when we gave

21
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 1: out our predictions Tuesday and Thursday of last week. Penn

22
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: State has yet to win a game. Also not a

23
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: sentence maybe that I expected myself saying in August or September,

24
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna hit eleven games. In some shape form of fashion,

25
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna hit eleven games. On the show tonight, I've

26
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: got two early best bets already, gave them out on Twitter.

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: We got some more coming, maybe as early as tonight.

28
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: At the very least, I'm gonna have some more for

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: you tomorrow, So follow me on Twitter at late kick

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: Josh full disclosure. When the numbers came out last week

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: and I was juxtaposing them with our model's numbers, I

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: didn't see a ton of value, really tight numbers. We

33
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: got some value this week, so we're gonna hit it.

34
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: We went four and three this week, so we still

35
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: staying above five hundred every week. We're at fifty eight

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: percent against the number. I am headed home after the

37
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: show tonight, so got that long drive ahead of me.

38
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: But I did want to remind you Thanksgiving week coming up.

39
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: I'm extending it again. I got open slots any of

40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: you out there. I've talked to someone last week that

41
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: perfectly summed up what I'm trying to do with these

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: one on one zoom sessions. They said, I think I've

43
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: got the talent. I think I've got the desire. I

44
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: think I've got good ideas. Like I think I've got

45
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: the tools, I just have no clue how to put

46
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: the game plan together about getting in the sports media

47
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: industry or starting a YouTube channel. So email me Josh

48
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: paid seven zero six at gmail dot com or hit

49
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: me up on Twitter at Late Kickjosh, we'll talk about it.

50
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: So padlock stats are normally a staple of the Sunday

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: night show. Everyone loves the padlock stat. A lot of

52
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: you have started sending me your padlock stats. The padlock

53
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: stat just took a bye week this week. Collectively, the

54
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: padlock stats said see you in Week thirteen. Padlock stats

55
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: for those unfamiliar, and we got a lot of new

56
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: viewers to the show and listeners to the show every week,

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: are simply numbers where if I gave them to you

58
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: on Friday, you would have thought you knew you would

59
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: bet a paycheck on how that game was going to

60
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: turn out. Padlock stats were nowhere to be found this week.

61
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: In fact, listen to this. Indiana sixteen carries minus one

62
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: yards total rushing WHENU factor in the sackyard age. Ohio

63
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: State conversely fifty runs three hundred and seven total yards,

64
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: and yet that was a nail bider at the very end.

65
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: How about Georgia twenty three carries for eight yards, not

66
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: eighty eight yards the University of Georgia ran. It's not

67
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: talking about the metric system, guys. This is just normal,

68
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: everyday rushing numbers, and yet they still found a way

69
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 1: to win. Oregon was plus three in the turnover battle

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: against a new quarterback for UCLA last night, and they

71
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: had to hang on by the skin of their teeth

72
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: to win at home. Northwestern twenty three rushes, twenty four

73
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: total rushing yards, and not only did they win outright

74
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: as a touchdown underdog, they won by double digits. Here's

75
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: one more for you, just before we dive in. I

76
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: got them. I could go all day. I have a

77
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: page and a half of these. Eric Gray, Tennessee running back,

78
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: had a great game. That is all for naught last

79
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 1: night because they end up losing again inexplicably by double digits.

80
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: And I'm going to talk about Tennessee before the show's

81
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: over Eric Gray, though his yards per carry not his yards.

82
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: His yards per carry total last night was equal to

83
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: the total amount of Georgia rushing yards. Gray averaged eight

84
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: yards per carry. Georgia totaled eight yards. That really kind

85
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,040
Speaker 1: of sums up what week twelve was. Let's dive in

86
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: and try to make some sense of this, shall we?

87
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 1: What a night in Athens, Georgia thirty one, Mississippi State

88
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: twenty four. And I gotta imagine somewhere I don't know

89
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: when it was. It wasn't in the press conference, it

90
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: wasn't immediately afterwards in the locker room. It wasn't when

91
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: he may have been talking to recruits. But somewhere last night,

92
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: when Kirby Smart got himself alone, maybe it was in

93
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: the car on the way home. Maybe it was brushing

94
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: his teeth. He stopped, He looked towards the ceiling or

95
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: the roof, or maybe the sky if he was outside,

96
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: and he just said, thank you Lord for J. T. Daniels.

97
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: I'm in. And if he didn't, then he missed his shot.

98
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: Because the only thing that worked about Georgia football last

99
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: night was JT. Daniels. You know him as a ground

100
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: and pound running team non existent. You know him as

101
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: a rock ribbed defensive unit non existent. Last night, Mississippi

102
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: State has been stoned by multiple teams just steadily moving

103
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: the ball up and down the field. I tweeted out

104
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: a video last night from our Tuesday show when we

105
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: were predicting this game, and I said, in fact, the

106
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: quote was, there's a morbid side of me that wants

107
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: to see JT Daniels go fourteen of seventeen for two

108
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five yards and three touchdowns in the

109
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: first half, just to see what it would be like.

110
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: JT Daniels in the first half was thirteen of seventeen

111
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: for two hundred and five yards and two touchdowns. We

112
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: almost nailed his exact stat line right down to the

113
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 1: number of completions and attempts, which was wild. And so

114
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 1: as I said, I'd love to see it because of

115
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: what the message boards would look like. Well, I didn't

116
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: even have to go to the message boards because a

117
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: lot of Georgia fans were right there in the DMS

118
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Didn't need to go look for him. They

119
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: came and found me. And you know what you wanted.

120
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: And if you didn't come after me, you could probably

121
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: imagine what they wanted. The cry for a while has

122
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: been not necessarily why isn't this guy playing? But at

123
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: the very least he's not playing, give us a good reason.

124
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: And it's really kind of been a mystery. And I'll

125
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,480
Speaker 1: give you a little bit more full disclosure. I imagine

126
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: there's going to be a show at the end of

127
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: the season. I love to empty the briefcase at the

128
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: end of the year and everything that I was told

129
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: in confidence during a season, but then someone says, all right,

130
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 1: you can tell him whatever at the end of the year.

131
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: I hope to have one of those with Daniels. I

132
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 1: hope to have other folks with those kinds of segments

133
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: on JT. Daniels. But you came after me last night,

134
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: not after me, but you came towards me, and you asked, well,

135
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: what now because we heard that either he wasn't mentally

136
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,239
Speaker 1: ready or he wasn't physically ready. And listen, I didn't

137
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: necessarily tell you I knew definitively. All I could tell

138
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: you was what I heard out of that program from

139
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: people I trust, people who have been money in the past,

140
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: people who are very close to the Georgia program. My

141
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: stance on this has just simply been and will always

142
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: be for the record, there's a reason why starters are starting.

143
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: There's a reason why guys who aren't starting aren't starting.

144
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: I don't have to know him, they don't have to

145
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: make sense to me. But that's always been my mentality.

146
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: That was my mentality here. I don't know what the

147
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: reason was because I saw him take the field last night.

148
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: I saw him totally bail out and be the reason, primary, secondary, tertiary,

149
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: the key reasons why Georgia won a football game. And

150
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: so I'm looking around no different than you during the game,

151
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: and then afterwards, I'm looking to my left, my right,

152
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: up and down everywhere in between saying well, I don't

153
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: even know a reason. I don't even know a good reason.

154
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: I can't even imagine a good reason why it took

155
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: this long for that guy to be on the field,

156
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: because at that point, I mean, you're kind of you're

157
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: just carrying someone's water, are you? Not? So there, As

158
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: far as we know, there's no medical thing that just

159
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: got clear last week. There were no disciplinary issues that

160
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: just got cleared last week. Here was the swerve that

161
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: got thrown into the mix last night that I don't

162
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 1: think anyone could have seen coming. I know I didn't.

163
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart knew he was gonna start Daniels this week,

164
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: but he never could have imagined against Mississippi State as

165
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: nearly a four touch down favorite. He never could have

166
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: imagined he was going to have to lean on a

167
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: quarterback to win that game. And yet Mississippi State rolls

168
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: into town. The scholarship situation ended up being even more

169
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: dire than what I told you it was last week.

170
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: When I talked to you on Thursday, they had fifty

171
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: four scholarship players available. They rolled in there with forty nine.

172
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: That's how many scholarship players they took into an SEC

173
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: football game, forty nine. And yet midway through the third quarter,

174
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart had to feel completely and totally lost. Everything

175
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: that is the identity of his program had evaporated. They

176
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: couldn't run the ball for anything. They were routinely getting

177
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: stuffed behind the line. Mississippi State had eleven tackles for

178
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: loss in this game. You realize that eleven tackles for

179
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: loss against Georgia. All that talent on the offensive line,

180
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: those guys in the backfield, you know, the hallmark of

181
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: this program. And not only that, you got Mississippi State

182
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: able to move the ball very effectively. Will Rogers had

183
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: a phenomenal game at quarterback last night, which I heard

184
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: Smart say as much after the game. Kind of wonder

185
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: why it took Michael Lead so long? Very classic move there.

186
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: I see what you're doing, Kirby, so Herby. Smart had

187
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: to feel lost, man, because the run game's not there,

188
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: my defense isn't there. And yet we're winning this game

189
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: because what because a quarterback is slinging it all over

190
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: the field. I've seen it done against me a time

191
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: or two to this point in my tenure at Georgia,

192
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: I've never had a quarterback do that for me. I've

193
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 1: never asked a quarterback to do that for me. And yet,

194
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,240
Speaker 1: lo and behold, you end up whin the dust Settles

195
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: last night with a thirty one to twenty four win.

196
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: There is no prayer they win that game. Let me

197
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: slow it down again, because this is a sentence. Again.

198
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 1: Couldn't believe I'd be saying it last week. There is

199
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: no prayer that Georgia is beating Mississippi State without J. T. Daniels.

200
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: He's what worked, He's all that worked. I mean, there

201
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 1: was a money drive and a lot of you know

202
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about if you watch the game. There

203
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 1: was a drive in the fourth quarter of this game

204
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: when they were trying to take the lead where Daniels

205
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: I counted him making four throws better on that one

206
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: drive than I've seen any quarterback make for Georgia all year.

207
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 1: In fact, I'll take it a step further, there were

208
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: four throws on that drive alone. He made that no

209
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: quarterback on their roster is capable of making. So again,

210
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 1: I don't know if a light switch turned on and

211
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: he all of a sudden became capable of that or

212
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: able to do that this week or last week. I'll

213
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: just I'll stop short of just openly questioning everything, and

214
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: I'll tell you, I think it's very valid for you

215
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: to have your doubts about that. I think that's very valid.

216
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: There was a lot of honesty after this game. I

217
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: think a lot of you, I saw a lot of

218
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: you take notice of that. In the postgame press availabilities

219
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: Kirby smart. He spoke his mind. It wasn't as if

220
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 1: he was about to come out there and say, well,

221
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 1: I screwed this one up. Didn't I you didn't get that.

222
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: You had him give his very blunt, honest reasoning for

223
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: why to this point they've handled the quarterback situation the

224
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: way they had and moving forward, obviously you got your

225
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: new starter here. But also JT. Daniels, I don't know

226
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: if you guys, you Georgia fans have heard it. I

227
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: don't know if a lot of you other folks out

228
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: there who don't follow this program day in and day

229
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 1: I've heard it. He was pretty brutally honest too, and

230
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: he let him know. He handled it in a very

231
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: classy man But you know, it was kind of like

232
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: watching an NFL postgame, to be honest with you, because

233
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: those are all full grown men and everyone's an adult,

234
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: and no one's going to get their feelings hurt. Let's

235
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: just tell it like it is in postgame. And J. T.

236
00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: Daniels essentially said week one, I wasn't cleared medically. After that,

237
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: it was Kirby Smart's decision. He didn't call him Kirby Smart,

238
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: but he said his coach's decision. He strongly indicated he

239
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: felt like he's been ready for a while now. Now

240
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: the lesser highlighted part, as I saw Jake Road tweet

241
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: out this morning. The lesser highlighted part that should be

242
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: highlighted every bit as much as everything else that kid

243
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: said was it's also true I've been progressing week over

244
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: week from a health standpoint, So I am today a

245
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: much better and healthier version of J. T. Daniels that

246
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: existed a month ago. And if you go back to

247
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: listening to Kirby smart Talk, that's exactly what he says.

248
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 1: Says he's available now in a way that he wasn't

249
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: a month or two ago. And so we've played guys

250
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: who at the time we felt give us best chance

251
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: to win. So another thing is we look forward to

252
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: Keep in mind here again, I cannot repeat this stuff enough.

253
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: Georgia had twenty three carries for eight yards. Mind boggling.

254
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 1: I really believed coming into last night, if I took

255
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 1: them and I had them play filling the blank NFL team,

256
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: they wouldn't beat an NFL team. But I would see

257
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: Georgia getting over eight yards against an NFL team, and

258
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: they didn't. So maybe I'm wrong about that, but they

259
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: put up eight yards last night. I don't know what

260
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: Georgia football is gonna be the rest of the year.

261
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: They'll certainly be favored in every game the rest of

262
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,199
Speaker 1: the year. But my point is there's a lot of

263
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: excitement coming out of this, and you should be excited

264
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: because you have a quarterback who obviously has an infinitely

265
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: higher ceiling than any that you've had to date under

266
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart. What you saw last night, it's not gonna

267
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: be what Georgia football is. I don't know what it's

268
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: gonna be, but it's not gonna be that. That dude

269
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 1: will just he'll hang up his whistle and walk out

270
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: of town before he goes into games where they have

271
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: no illusions of being able to run the ball and

272
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: it's kind of hit or missed defensively. It's just not

273
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: the way he's gonna coach. If he is willing to

274
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: do it, then he's willing to completely turn inside out

275
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: everything that we know about him. It's been done before.

276
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: There have been no indications that he wanted to do that. Guys,

277
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: they didn't want to do it last night. Let me

278
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: be perfectly clear. They had no intention of throwing the

279
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: ball last night like they did. They did it out

280
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: of necessity. So now moving forward again, they got some

281
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: winnable games coming up to finish out the regular season,

282
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: You'll get to see a lot more of JT. Daniels.

283
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: I'm very interested to see when folks get some film

284
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: on him and they play him more straight up instead

285
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: of completely and totally squeezing the line of scrimmage like

286
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: they did last night to stop the run game and

287
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: very effectively. Might I add, just give it get to

288
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: some time. Okay, you can credit someone without crowning them,

289
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 1: So give it some time with Daniels, because the league's

290
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: gonna adjust to him, and it may not be until

291
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: next year if it's very likely, but there is still

292
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 1: if he hangs around, he is eligible to not hang around.

293
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: But I think he'll hang around. Let's just watch the

294
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: league adjust to him. As the point, but very good

295
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: showing last night from both teams. I think Mississippi State'

296
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: they're not here for pat on the back. I think

297
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: they deserve a ton of credit because that's a team

298
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: that could have very easily and no one would have

299
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: gotten mad at him about out gracefully from even showing up,

300
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: and instead they took a team that they probably could

301
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,199
Speaker 1: have fit on one charter bus and rolled in there

302
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 1: and took a perennial playoff contender to the wire. So

303
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 1: hats off to both teams, but really looking forward to J. T.

304
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: Daniels in the future. Meanwhile, in Columbus, Ohio, Ohio State

305
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: forty two, Indiana thirty five. Really strange game here, A

306
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: lot of you watched this. It was a very strange game.

307
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: Because I was telling Colin I was at the gym.

308
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: I watched the early games at the gym because it

309
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: has a great TV setup where I work out. So

310
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 1: I got five games on five different TVs. And some

311
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: would call that distraction. I just call it multitasking. But

312
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: I really, as crazy as this sounds, I started to

313
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: doubt our Ohio State minus twenty and a half picked

314
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 1: when they went up thirty five to seven. When you

315
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 1: lay a big number like that, at least if you're me,

316
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't like a big early lead. I like a

317
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 1: lead that gets stretched as time goes on late in

318
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 1: the second and half. Ohio State, that's a young team.

319
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: That's a pretty green team. They're not veteran. They don't

320
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: have a bunch of veterans on that team. Veterans they

321
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: understand how to keep their foot on the throat for

322
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: four quarters. Some young guys it's very it's very spiky,

323
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: it's very you know, hit or miss, and so well,

324
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: there's a lot of miss in the second half because

325
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: that Ohio State secondary got humbled by Michael Pennix and company.

326
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: They got outscored twenty eight to seven over the final

327
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes of a game in the Horseshoe. By

328
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: the way, general feeling going in did not necessarily pan out.

329
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about this game. We gave it

330
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: its own individual breakdown, as you do top ten matchups.

331
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: But you think to yourself, at least I thought to myself,

332
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: and a lot of you guys I talk to you

333
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: kind of agreed with the sentiment. Indiana. You know, if

334
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: you go in here and you can limit Ohio State's run,

335
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: then you got a chance. If you make Justin Fields

336
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: have to beat you, he can probably still beat you,

337
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 1: but you could have a chance. Well, Ohio State ran

338
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 1: all over them. They ran for over three hundred yards.

339
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: It turns out they had to run because Justin Fields

340
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: couldn't get the job done. I mean, eighteen for thirty

341
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: two touchdowns, three interceptions is about as bad as you're

342
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: going to see Justin Fields play in any game. Much

343
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: less a big game, but yet there with buck Eyes

344
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: fifty runs for three hundred and seven yards and the

345
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: irony is at six point one yards per pop. They're

346
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: not crazy about the run game right now. Now they

347
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: got Downhill a whole lot quicker with the bigger body

348
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: type backs that they have as opposed to a JK. Dobbins,

349
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: which most people understand they should do, including their coaching staff.

350
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: But the most lasting image for me from this game

351
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: was justin Fields when the clock hit triple zeros in

352
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and they panned to him just shaking

353
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: his head, just shaking his head, as was I and

354
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: as we're a lot of you. But that's I mean,

355
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of that's kind of the collective mentality. Walking

356
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: out of there, you understand, and you respect the opponent,

357
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 1: and you really appreciate the win and you shake their hand.

358
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 1: But man, you get to the locker room and immediately

359
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 1: it can Can we just start breaking it down now?

360
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean, can we start looking ahead now? Because we've

361
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: got some winnable games here? Do they have? They got

362
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: illin Michigan State and Michigan. But we got to get

363
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: so much better. I mean, we're not on Alabama's level

364
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: at the moment, they would completely and totally filay our secondary.

365
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,719
Speaker 1: What do we got to do to get better? So

366
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: that's what the world saw, because the world saw Justin

367
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:16,719
Speaker 1: Field's having a bad day here. I think that's what

368
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 1: most of the world saw watching maybe from the old

369
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: fifty thousand foot perspective, but Ohio State fans, I think

370
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: when they come out of this thing and I'm kind

371
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:27,679
Speaker 1: of sitting there watching with you, so you know, we

372
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: turn and we watch the game together, his secondary is bad,

373
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, Well, I got two pins here. I

374
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: don't know any other way to put it. Ohio State

375
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: secondary is just a complete, total mess. Now, that's not

376
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: a shock. In fact, even getting Sean Wade back, and

377
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk about Wade in just a second,

378
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: even getting him back kind of put a band aid

379
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 1: on what was going to be a very green unit.

380
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: By ten miles. It was the biggest question mark for

381
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: this team. So it's not like Buckeye fans are completely

382
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: stunned on this Sunday evening that, oh I can't believe

383
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: our secondary that turned out to be the weak link.

384
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: The front looks good for the record. By the way, defensively.

385
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: But secondari is bad here, how bad as I read

386
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: to you before, Indiana sixteen runs negative one total yards rushing,

387
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,679
Speaker 1: and yet it's a nail bier. They still had the

388
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: ball with a chance to win the game in the

389
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. The Sean Wade opt out. You guys, remember

390
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: this whole circus, what really circus? I mean, there was

391
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 1: a lot of uncertainty about the season, so Sewn Wade

392
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: opted out. Then when they announced they were going to

393
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,199
Speaker 1: have the season, Seawn Wade opted back in. Might as

394
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: well have thrown them at Tichret Tape Parade in Columbus.

395
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: It's a good thing as actually, you know, the more

396
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,120
Speaker 1: I think about it, it may not be a good thing.

397
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: I've watched this happen with other programs. Ohio State's kind

398
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: of in that rarefied air too, when you got a

399
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,680
Speaker 1: lot of young guys that project as future first round

400
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: draft picks, but they're playing with other race horses that

401
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: are also first round draft picks. And then some of

402
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: those race horses go off to the NFL Draft, and

403
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: some of those younger guys are kind of by default

404
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: elevated to a top tier. Sometimes they shine like Pat

405
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: certain this year for Alabama shining. I mean, that's going

406
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: to be a top fifteen caliber guy. You never hear

407
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 1: his name because no one ever throws at him. Sean

408
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: Wade got thrown at repeatedly. They just victimized him yesterday.

409
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: Think he had a pick six, which is probably the

410
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: lasting impression that many had from the game, telling you,

411
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: if you're an NFL type and you pop on that tape,

412
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 1: or for the record, if you were Dabo Swine or

413
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: if you're Nick Saban and you pop on that tape

414
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: and you're going to play Ohio State down the road,

415
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking at. And I know Sean Wade's

416
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: a big name, but man, he got victimized yesterday, and

417
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: I think a lot of it has to do with

418
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: a lot of the talent he was able to play

419
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: alongside last year not being there anymore. He's an ultra

420
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: talented guy, but got a ways to go to fulfill

421
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: the lofty expectation that's been placed alongside his name. You

422
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: got to give huge credit and I kind of overlooked

423
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: this to begin with. Gotta give a huge credit to

424
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: Tom Allen in Indiana because as much as they all

425
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: most beat Ohio State yesterday, and they were in that

426
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: game and came back, as I said, twenty eight to seven.

427
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: They outscored him final twenty five minutes. What struck me

428
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: about Indiana is I don't necessarily know that unlike some

429
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: teams who play number one, number two, number three opponents,

430
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,120
Speaker 1: they never felt like they made this game a super Bowl.

431
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 1: It was big game and they understood the ramifications. But

432
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: I think they'll be fine coming out of this game.

433
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 1: I don't think you'll look at them in other words

434
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: like you do some teams who play Bama or Ohio

435
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: State and it's a super Bowl hangover effect and they

436
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: just they're never the same. I'm not telling you Indiana's

437
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: gonna run the table. I think their level of play

438
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 1: will maintain a pretty consistent level. They may be the

439
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 1: second best team in the Big Ten right now, guys,

440
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: they may be the number two team in the Big

441
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: ten's And the funny part is the battle for that

442
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: number two mantle in the Big Ten is not between

443
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: Michigan and Penn State, or Wisconsin or Iowa. It's between

444
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: Northwestern and Indiana. So now Ohio State they kind of

445
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: get I want to let that statement sizzle for a second.

446
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: All right, there we go. Now, Ohio State they kind

447
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: of go into hiding. You're not gonna see them in

448
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: a prime position for a couple of weeks. As I say,

449
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,760
Speaker 1: at Illinois, I'm gonna sweat that one. At Michigan State

450
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: and then Michigan so as I said, they're not ready

451
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: for Bama yet, Bama's not on the schedule yet. So

452
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: you know Alabama, their defense didn't look too hot about

453
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,439
Speaker 1: a month ago, look a lot better now. Gave up

454
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: three points last night to Kentucky. So we'll see. Time

455
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: will tell you know. They have talent. Okay, that's the

456
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: starting point. If they were limited talent wise, this just

457
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: would be what it is like Michigan at corner. They're

458
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: limited talent wise. Ohio State's got good talent. So they

459
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 1: got a lot of moving pieces on the coaching side

460
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: and on the personnel side. We'll see what they can

461
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: do over the next month. I wanted to spend some

462
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 1: time on this game right quick. Auburn beat Tennessee thirty

463
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: to seventeen last night. I got more emails and dms

464
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: about this one game in a sea of emails and

465
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 1: dms yesterday than any single game you think to yourself

466
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: the JT. Daniels deal at Georgia, Ohio State barely survives

467
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 1: against Indiana, and yet it's Auburn Tennessee, which tells me

468
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: a lot of you cared about this game. So let's

469
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: spend a couple of minutes on it here. I am

470
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 1: so so tired of watching Tennessee lose games the same

471
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: way I can watch someone lose, but the same way

472
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 1: over and over again. Oh, they got no business do

473
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: the volunteers running for two hundred and twenty two total

474
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: yards at Auburn and lose them by double digits. So

475
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: I pull up the box score from this thing a

476
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: little while ago, just to make sure my eyes didn't

477
00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: deceive me, and sure enough they didn't. Are you aware

478
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,360
Speaker 1: of a few things here? Are you aware? Tennessee outgained

479
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: Auburn by seventy nine yards. They had more first downs

480
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: twenty eight to twenty three. They had more total plays

481
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: seventy four to sixty four. It was a six point

482
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: three to six point zero yards per play edge for Tennessee.

483
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: Each team went nine to fifteen on third down. What happened?

484
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 1: Because this sounds like an evenly played game, right turn,

485
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: How in the world does one team lose this thing

486
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 1: by two touchdowns nearly two touchdowns. Well, there's a fourteen

487
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,440
Speaker 1: point swing where Tennessee, as I said, with Eric Gray

488
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: steadily running the ball down Auburn's throat, getting the red zone,

489
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: with a quarterback who has been turnover prone all year,

490
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: what are we gonna do. We're gonna throw across the metal,

491
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 1: that's course what we're gonna do, and we're gonna throw

492
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: a pick six in the end zone, and it's gonna

493
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: be a ten to a fourteen point swing in a

494
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: game that ends up being a thirty to seventeen final.

495
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: As I said, Eric Gray, twenty two runs one hundred

496
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 1: and seventy three yards. That's nearly eight yards per carry.

497
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 1: And yet it doesn't even matter. No one remembers it

498
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 1: because you lose by thirteen points. Because turnovers are death

499
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: in football, especially when they generate points right quick like

500
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: on that play. On the actual turnover, Harrison Bailey came

501
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 1: in this game. It was too late, he promptly, of course,

502
00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: leads a touchdown drive. You could say, well, it's in

503
00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: garbage time. Defense is different, yeah, maybe, but again, the

504
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: same things that have cost Tennessee before were the same

505
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: things that cost him yesterday. Yes, it aggravates me. I'm

506
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: not even wearing an orange shirt like you guys. I'm

507
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: sitting there wearing my white shirt or whatever I was

508
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: wearing yesterday. But yet I feel your pain. I know

509
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 1: a lot of you. I feel your pain. I'm in Tennessee,

510
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: so I'm physically I'm situated here in Nashville. But yet, No,

511
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 1: I have not budged on Pruit for much more fundamental

512
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: reasons that I stated at the beginning of the year.

513
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: Been going back and forth with a couple of people

514
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,640
Speaker 1: in the last hour about this. Nothing about this sea.

515
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: If I was not already sold on you not being

516
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: the guy before the year, nothing about this year is

517
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: going to change my mind. Franklin at Penn State. I'm

518
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: going to talk about him in a second. He could

519
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,240
Speaker 1: go over the season, wouldn't change my mind on him.

520
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: Same with Pruitt. I was not off of his bandwagon

521
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: before the season. Therefore, by default, there's nothing that can

522
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: happen in an extreme external factor year that's going to

523
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 1: change that. Having said that, I can be highly aggravated

524
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: at many aspects of this program, which I am, but

525
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: I'm just not making if I'm an athletic director, I'm not,

526
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: but if i am, I'm not making permanent decisions due

527
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: to extreme temporary external factors. But as for Auburn, because

528
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 1: they actually won the game here. You know, sometimes if

529
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 1: you live where I live growing up, and you live

530
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: in a more rural part of well, any state, but

531
00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 1: I lived in a more rural part of Georgia. You

532
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 1: get out at night, and you part the car in

533
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: the driveway, you turn it off, lock it up. In

534
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: that time where you're walking from your car to the

535
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: front door, you know, maybe it's twenty thirty yards. Every

536
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: now and then you'll just hear something over in the bushes,

537
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,919
Speaker 1: just random noise. It's something over there. You look, you

538
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 1: can't see what it is. You turn on the flashlight

539
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: on the iPhone. You still can't see it. You just

540
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: know something's over there. So you just hasten your walk

541
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,119
Speaker 1: and you get the front door and you lock it up,

542
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 1: and you're good. That noise is Auburn football. That's what

543
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: they are right now. Do you know? They're five and two.

544
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: This is the most anonymous five and two team in America.

545
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 1: Nine of fifteen on third down yesterday. That's a huge deal.

546
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: For them. Third down has been an albatross around this

547
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: team's neck at various points this year, and yet they

548
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: were big yesterday. They were big on third down, and

549
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: they get a win thirty seventeen. And keep in mind,

550
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,360
Speaker 1: as much as I talk about how mismanaged the Tennessee

551
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: offense was, you can't lose a game unless someone beat you.

552
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: Auburn did what it took to beat Tennessee, and they

553
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: did it without their best offensive player, Tank Bigsby went

554
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: down early in this game. And yet Auburn still found

555
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: a way to carry the ball one hundred and sixty

556
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: five yards on thirty eight carries without your stalwart running back.

557
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: That's admirable. So that I mean, that's the good news. Okay,

558
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 1: the next news, I'm not gonna call it bad news.

559
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,439
Speaker 1: The follow up news is Auburn may very well be

560
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: about to play the number one and number two teams

561
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: in the SEC to wrap up their year at the

562
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: very worst, number one and number three Alabama. The Iron

563
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,160
Speaker 1: Bowl is this week. Keep in mind this week Alabama

564
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: opens as a twenty four point favorite against Auburn at home,

565
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: by the way, and then they wrap the season up

566
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 1: with Texas A and M So I mean, at the

567
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,159
Speaker 1: very least, there is no hot seat talk. That's what

568
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: I want to emphasize, because a lot of folks thought

569
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,879
Speaker 1: by this time it would be Gus Malson with all

570
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: the hot seat talk. And listen, there are a lot

571
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 1: of bad news that came out for Auburn today. So

572
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: firing the football coach, all due respect, needs to be

573
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: the least of your concerns. Some of those issues, if

574
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: you will, around the football program in the past, there

575
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: aren't right now. You notice that you knowed that. Let

576
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: me tell you some Let me just carry the water

577
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: for Malson here for a second. I know Auburn football.

578
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,400
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people close to Auburn football.

579
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,120
Speaker 1: I know a lot of folks who sling allegations left

580
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: and right. Not much of that happening around Auburn right now,

581
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,199
Speaker 1: relatively speaking, not much of that happening around Auburn. So

582
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 1: you could criticize Malson for losing the football game occasionally

583
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,920
Speaker 1: here or there, if you want to look at some

584
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: things that matter more than just the result on Saturday,

585
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 1: and then juxtapose it to other programs in your athletic department.

586
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: I think I'm being pretty clear here, hats off to

587
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: Gus Malsan. So Tennessee is a ten point favorite, by

588
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: the way, against Vanderbilt Saturday. I'm not calling it must win.

589
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: Some people have. I will be very curiously watching that game.

590
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: But they have now lost five straight games. Have the

591
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: Tennessee volunteers by double digits. They started playing football at

592
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee in eighteen ninety one and they've never done that.

593
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 1: Five straight losses by double digits. So those of you

594
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:03,440
Speaker 1: were on the fire pruit bandwagon, that's your stat I'm

595
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: not there, so I'm passing it off. I give you

596
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: permission to use it. There's another place where things are

597
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,680
Speaker 1: even worse, and that's Penn State. Penn State, Oh my goodness.

598
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: So I'm just gonna give you some takeaways here. Not

599
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: gonna spend too long on it, but let me read

600
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 1: you a quote. Okay, I'm gonna read you a quote here.

601
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: Not even the first time I've used this quote this year.

602
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: That's what kind of season it's been. Afterwards, the seven

603
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 1: hundred people in the boats had nothing to do but wait,

604
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: wait to die, wait to live, wait for an absolution

605
00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: that would never come. Penn State loses another football game

606
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 1: and the fans feel about like the old lady in Titanic.

607
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 1: They lose to Iowa forty one to twenty one. You

608
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: keep waiting for the corner to be turned. You keep

609
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,959
Speaker 1: waiting for that week to come where you look at

610
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 1: the final scoreboard and you say, ah, well, you know,

611
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: it took a lot longer than I wanted it to,

612
00:28:51,760 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: but finally we've hit our stride. You want the absolution,

613
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: and you just keep getting hit in the face with

614
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: a sledgehammer week after week after week. The smart money

615
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 1: here is that there's probably more bad stuff coming. I mean,

616
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: that's the short term of it. The probably more bad

617
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: stuff coming the mid to long range. If you want

618
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 1: a sliver of good news, twenty twenty should be isolated.

619
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 1: But I want to go to some evidence Exhibit number

620
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: and thirty eight on my list of reasons why Bowl

621
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: momentum and momentum in general is the most overhyped thing

622
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: in the history of sports. So I'm reading over at

623
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: Lions twenty four to seven today. Tyler Donahue did a

624
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 1: really good feature and it offered the best perspective that

625
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: I saw anywhere out there from last night to today.

626
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: On Penn State, this is how fickle momentum is and

627
00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: how fickle the spotlight can be in college football. Some

628
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: of you remember the spring before everything went haywire and

629
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: how much positive energy there was around Penn State. I

630
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: was part of it. I had a lot of positive

631
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 1: energy about Penn State. Think about where they were just

632
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: a few short months ago. Think about where they were.

633
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: They were coming off a Cotton Bowl when against Memphis. Okay,

634
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: that's one of the New Year's six games. That's a

635
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: big deal. It was their eleventh win. They had won

636
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,120
Speaker 1: at least eleven games for the third time and four seasons.

637
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: Six of the seven touchdowns they scored against Memphis were

638
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: scored by freshman or sophomores. They were looking at back

639
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: to back Top ten classes that were already starting to

640
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 1: pay off, all those freshmen and sophomores contributing. Then they

641
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: had watched Minnesota light it up in the Big Ten,

642
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: and James Franklin went and got their offensive coordinator, Kirk

643
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: Soraka and brought him in. And you're gonna pair him

644
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 1: up with Sean Clifford, who, after his first full year

645
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: of starting, had put up twenty eight touchdowns seven interceptions

646
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: in his first season. So you think, well, if I mean,

647
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: if Kirk Soaka can do what he did with Tanner Morgan,

648
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: what's he gonna do here with better talent? Maybe? Dare

649
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: I say more talent? At quarterback? Two? You got an

650
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: All American tight end, you got young talent all over

651
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: the place. You got a returning offensive line with experience

652
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: across the board, a great one to two combination at

653
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: running back, coming back, you got the highest blue Chip

654
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: ratio on your roster that you've had to date. How

655
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 1: many programs outside of the major elites, how many other

656
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,920
Speaker 1: programs out there seemed more equipped considering what I just

657
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 1: read you off this list to maybe potentially either knock

658
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: on the door of elite status or at the very

659
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,920
Speaker 1: least be a runner up and be the very next

660
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: program at the top of Tier two. That was Penn State,

661
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 1: that was where they were. And then what happened, Well,

662
00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: what happened was spring gets taken away, got taken away

663
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: from everyone. But if you're trying to install a new offense,

664
00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: it it hurts you extra hard. Then Michael Parsons opts

665
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: out your best defensive player. Then Journey Brown one of

666
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,360
Speaker 1: those one to two punches at running back. He's gone.

667
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: Noah Kaine's gone. That's the number two in the one

668
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: two punch. He's out in the first game of the year.

669
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 1: Then Indiana ambushed him in week one. They outplayed Indiana,

670
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: they got beat by Indiana, that's what matters. And then

671
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: there was Ohio State in week two and it just

672
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 1: like just in the snap of a finger, they were

673
00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: zero and two and the season went off the rails.

674
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: It happens that quick. They were in a really unique spot.

675
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: They were zero and two and were a team that

676
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: was supposed to contend. That's the most important thing to remember.

677
00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: This wasn't a team whose goal was to make a

678
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: bowl or just make sure we're above five hundred. They

679
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: thought they were Big Ten championship contenders. And so in

680
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,440
Speaker 1: a very atypical year, I have no way of knowing

681
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,479
Speaker 1: how COVID has affected each individual program, but in an

682
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: atypical year, a contender had their season just fall off

683
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: the rails totally early on, and it's never gotten back

684
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: on the rails. So was the optimism a mirage? That's

685
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: what I want to ask you all this. There's no

686
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:32,239
Speaker 1: one in their right mind who could have looked at

687
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: Penn State and denied that program's trending up hard, and

688
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: then what happened. So was the optimism a mirage or

689
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: is this just a throwaway season? I used that term today,

690
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: throwaway season. I thought it was common sense. What I meant,

691
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 1: what I don't mean is throw away the entire season.

692
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 1: None of the results in this season matter, of course

693
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: they matter. We're gonna hopefully crown a national champion. I'll

694
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: recognize that national champion as I would any other national champion.

695
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 1: You're gonna crown Big ten champion. I'd recognize that one

696
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,600
Speaker 1: sec acc as I would any other conference champion any year.

697
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 1: What I mean is in the areas of the country

698
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: where things go off the rails, it's a throwaway season

699
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: for me. I explained it to you with Pruitt. I'm

700
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: telling you with James Franklin point blank. I wasn't calling

701
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: for the guy to lose his job before the year. Therefore,

702
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: I'm not going to allow anything that happens this year,

703
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: even if they go winless, to change my opinion on that.

704
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 1: I don't run Penn State football. I don't donate a

705
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: dime to Penn State. They don't care what I say.

706
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: I'm just giving you my take because I think mostly

707
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 1: that's what you come to the show for. But my philosophy,

708
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: even without COVID, is every coach is afforded one throwaway

709
00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: season in his career. Malzon's used his Kirby Smart hasn't

710
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: used his contrary to popular belief, two loss seasons not

711
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: a throwaway season. But for someone who disagrees with that,

712
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: because you can agree with that all day and we'll

713
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: just nod our heads at each other. For people who

714
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: disagree with that and are actually suggesting that this guy

715
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: should be out of a job because of what's happened

716
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: this year, I just want to ask you something. We

717
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: don't need to fight about it. Just hear me out.

718
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:10,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk it through it to a logical conclusion. You

719
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: tell me what's more likely, because I just gave you

720
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: my train of thought. It's not excusing the result, it's

721
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,800
Speaker 1: explaining the result and understanding These are very atypical external

722
00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: factors that no football coaches ever had to deal with

723
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,319
Speaker 1: before or hopefully will ever have to deal with after.

724
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,399
Speaker 1: So you tell me what's more likely. Everything about Penn

725
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 1: State and James Franklin magically just evaporated and eroded in

726
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 1: one off season or twenty twenty is unique and disproportionate

727
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: in its impact program to program. I think the latter

728
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: is much more likely than the former. If I thought

729
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: this guy had lost it, if I thought the program

730
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 1: had lost it, if I thought that those three to

731
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: eleven win seasons in four years, if I thought all

732
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: that was just gone, I'd tell you I don't think

733
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: that's gone. I honestly think this program will be fine.

734
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:57,319
Speaker 1: Even if they don't win a game this year. I

735
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: think they'll be fine next year. Moving forward, they, like

736
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: many programs out there, are a quarterback away from being

737
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: a contender. And I'm telling you that when they're zero

738
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: to five, so you know I mean it. They're a

739
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 1: quarterback in a normal year away, let's say that from

740
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: being a contender. So they don't have a faulty engine,

741
00:35:14,920 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: their transmissions not shot, they got tires that are unbalanced.

742
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they got a hubcap that's off, they got

743
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 1: a dent in the door, they got a cracked windshield.

744
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: Those things are cosmetic. You can fix those things. You

745
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 1: don't have to toss the entire vehicle in the scrapyard

746
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: and go buy a new one. And I don't even

747
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: know what would be out there anyway. Have you seen

748
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 1: the lots lately? Very slim pickings. Uh, let's see Colin. Okay,

749
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: all right, let's move in on. I had my papers

750
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: on in a jumble here other week twelve takeaways. Let's

751
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: just go all across the country here. Let's start in

752
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,520
Speaker 1: Tuscal loose at Alabama. Man, we call this one, not

753
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:49,399
Speaker 1: that there's much doubt about who's gonna win the game,

754
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: but Bama sixty three to three. You may think, well,

755
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,600
Speaker 1: what's so magical about calling this? No, it's not the final.

756
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: It was the manner with which they were going to

757
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: go about their business. See, you gotta know Nick Saban.

758
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: Nick Saban is one that is very reliable. In games

759
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 1: where they're going to blow someone out, they will come

760
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: to a rest somewhere between forty one and forty eight points.

761
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: Virtually every time. I can't tell you how many times

762
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: they've scored forty one or forty two points. They always do.

763
00:36:14,239 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: But in the two a year in twenty seventeen, they

764
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,240
Speaker 1: went about things differently. They had Jalen Hurts as the starter,

765
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: two as the backup. And what Saban knew is, I've

766
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 1: got a stud I got a legitimate future star as

767
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 1: my backup quarterback. I want to get him ready. I

768
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 1: actually want to work the offense when the backup quarterback

769
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: comes in. So what was happening is Bama was being

770
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 1: favored by their usual four touchdowns or thirty or thirty

771
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 1: one points against inferior competition, and they kept blowing away

772
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: the spread. They would cover the spread by twenty plus

773
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,959
Speaker 1: points because what they were doing was they were putting

774
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 1: a guy who was too good on the field to

775
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: just suck the life out of the offense. And so

776
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: they were scoring fifty five, sixty two, sixty three points

777
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: instead of their usual forty one to forty two. That's

778
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: where they are right now. Rice Young is the future star,

779
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: and coming out of a two week hiatus, and knowing

780
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: they had a couple of young running backs, they wanted

781
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: to give good looks. Here in McLelland and Roydale Williams,

782
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 1: I highly suspected twenty nine was too low a number.

783
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 1: It was thirty one. It came down to twenty nine,

784
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: so we thought they were going to fly past that,

785
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 1: and they did. The final score is sixty three to three.

786
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: Notice the defense here, Kentucky's not the best barometer in

787
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 1: the world. I'll grant you that that defense very poorous

788
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 1: at the beginning of the year. Gave up one first

789
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:31,920
Speaker 1: down in the second half. That's not bad. They got

790
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: Auburn coming up next. As I said, that's in Tuscaloosa.

791
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 1: They opened as a twenty four point favorite. Someone and

792
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: I'll give him credit, not by name. Someone called that

793
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 1: out and said, oh man, that's way too big a number.

794
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 1: In fact, I think Auburn's going to win the game outright.

795
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 1: And I did what I usually do. I didn't argue

796
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: about it. I just said, do you want to bet

797
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: on it? He said yes. I said, come to the DMS.

798
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: He came into the DMS. He said, I absolutely will

799
00:37:56,560 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: bet on this, and I said, all right, you're taking

800
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,919
Speaker 1: Auburn straight up. I'm taking damaste up. He said, yep.

801
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: He arranged it. Even offered to Venmoby the money early.

802
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 1: I don't advise that, by the way, So I will

803
00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,960
Speaker 1: give this man credit because he actually backed up the

804
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 1: words that were coming out of his mouth. Most people

805
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: don't in that kind of situation. All right, let's move

806
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: it on. Oklahoma forty one Oklahoma State thirteen, classic example

807
00:38:20,520 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 1: of clicking A couple of months later than you wanted to.

808
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: But Oklahoma, make no mistake about it has clicked. Now,

809
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State, there was some padlocks stats. Hey, maybe it's

810
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: an endangered species, but at least it existed yesterday. Had

811
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: I told you Friday, Oklahoma State's going to be held

812
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: to two point eight yards per carrey and they're going

813
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: to go three or fourteen on third down, you probably

814
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 1: would have felt pretty good about the Sooners. And that's ballgame.

815
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, as long as Oklahoma's not turning the ball

816
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: over all over the place, which they've been known to

817
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 1: do at times this year. But as long as they're

818
00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:52,480
Speaker 1: not those numbers right there, holding Cowboys under three yards

819
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: per carrey and what three of fourteen on third down,

820
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 1: that alone was going to be good enough. And Spencer

821
00:38:58,040 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 1: Ratler did not turn the ball over teen of twenty four,

822
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 1: three hundred and one passing yards, four touchdowns, zero interceptions.

823
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: And for a lot of folks who have made the

824
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: observation this year, we talked about it from time to

825
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 1: time about the inverse styles of play conference to conference

826
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: relative to history. Neither team in this game, I want

827
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:22,320
Speaker 1: to just reframe it. This is the Big twelve, big

828
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,480
Speaker 1: time game in the Big Twelve Oklahoma State versus Oklahoma.

829
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: Neither team in this game are in seventy plays. I'll

830
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: grant you I don't have a chart of total plays

831
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 1: over here. I don't think that happens very often in

832
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: this matchup or any matchup in the Big Twelve. Maybe

833
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,239
Speaker 1: TCU games. But you know, Iowa State, Iowa State, Yeah,

834
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: but not this game, not with Oklahoma Big twelve title favorite. Now,

835
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:48,200
Speaker 1: by the way, Oklahoma sooners overwhelming Big Twelve title favorites,

836
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: so they're back in the mix for that. Oklahoma State

837
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: needs some things to happen to stay in the mix,

838
00:39:52,920 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: but it is my Iowa State Cyclones and Oklahoma currently

839
00:39:57,360 --> 00:40:00,279
Speaker 1: the overwhelming favorites to match up in that game. How

840
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 1: about Michigan Big win Michigan's Football School again, guys, forty

841
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: eight to forty two, triple overtime win over Rutgers. Again.

842
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 1: I want to emphasize in the sport of football, I would

843
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: love to have had a live polling feature in this game.

844
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,840
Speaker 1: I would love to have had a five hundred Michigan

845
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,839
Speaker 1: fans sample size. And I would love to have known

846
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 1: because I had some of you very unscientific, but I

847
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: had some of you hit me up on the eye, Josh.

848
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: As it got later in this game yesterday, and then

849
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 1: as things got into overtime, there were Michigan folks out there.

850
00:40:30,680 --> 00:40:32,799
Speaker 1: I don't think they were the only ones who were

851
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 1: pulling for the loss. Sounds very counterintuitive, but I know

852
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 1: where your head was at. You think beating Rutgers does

853
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 1: nothing for us. All it does is potentially prolonged the inevitable,

854
00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: and so a lot of you wanted a loss. My

855
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,080
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh opinion is unchanged here. I want to be

856
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: perfectly clear. It's not me telling you I think he's

857
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: the right guy for the job, and I think he'll

858
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 1: get everything turned out. I'm not the one telling you that.

859
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: I am fairly indifferent on this. Right now, they're doing

860
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: really good in recruiting. Now. You may say, what in

861
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 1: the world does all the talent in the world mean

862
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: if we can't develop it put it in the right place, YadA, YadA, YadA.

863
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: I hear you. But what I'm saying is, if you

864
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 1: had a truly dead in the water program, recruiting would

865
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 1: be dead too. It's not so I'm indifferent on this

866
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: when I tell you I don't think Harball's going anywhere.

867
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: It's because people around the program don't think he's going anywhere.

868
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if that would have changed with a

869
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: loss last night, but that's point. They didn't lose, so

870
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean, and they may Hey, they may have found

871
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:29,200
Speaker 1: a quarterback. Thought it was gonna be Joe Milton turns

872
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: out of maybe Cade McNamara. He was twenty seven of

873
00:41:31,760 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: thirty six, four touchdowns, no interceptions last night. He didn't start,

874
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 1: by the way, So hello, now we move forward in

875
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:42,359
Speaker 1: the season. What can you make of it? Penn State

876
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: and Michigan played this Saturday, and that game is going

877
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: to be at noon, but it's going to be pretty

878
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,600
Speaker 1: high profile. They're putting it on ABC, so this game

879
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,400
Speaker 1: will not be pay per view. You won't need someone

880
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,200
Speaker 1: over the age of eighteen with a credit card to

881
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: go buy it for you. You will be able to

882
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,120
Speaker 1: watch this in all its glory. Penn State and Missisi

883
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: the showdown in America doesn't know that it needs but

884
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 1: it really does. And that is Saturday at high noon

885
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:10,959
Speaker 1: Eastern time. So hey, good for Michigan. UCLA almost beat

886
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,240
Speaker 1: Oregon yesterday. This was one I couldn't make sense of Oregon.

887
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 1: I thought I thought a healthy UCLA was going to

888
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: be run up and down the field on by Oregon.

889
00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:24,040
Speaker 1: And then you had Robinson or Robinson Thompson. I always

890
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: get the names confused there. The quarterback the starter for

891
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: UCLA out and not only that, if I were to

892
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 1: have told you talk about padlocks being irrelevant yesterday, if

893
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 1: I tell you not only is Chip Kelly going to

894
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,279
Speaker 1: be without his starting quarterback, they're also going to be

895
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,879
Speaker 1: minus three turnovers. What kind of blowout would you think

896
00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:46,239
Speaker 1: was coming there? For an Oregon team already favored by

897
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,440
Speaker 1: two touchdowns and then it went up to seventeen with

898
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: the news of the quarterback being out. I mean the

899
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: negative was for Oregon. UCLA's backup quarterback took you to

900
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: the wire and nearly beat you, even as you were

901
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 1: plus three turnovers. I guess if you're looking for a

902
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 1: silver line here, you did get a win. That's much

903
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 1: more than just a silver lining. But Oregon's offense again

904
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:08,880
Speaker 1: answered the bell, and they needed to. They needed everyone

905
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,839
Speaker 1: of those thirty eight points. They needed the plus three

906
00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: turnovers too. I'm not really sure. I was very very

907
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 1: confident in watching how they came from behind against Washington State.

908
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 1: Oh it was confident in that, but there are aspects

909
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: of their defense that look very much lost. Here's the

910
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:30,000
Speaker 1: other silver silver lining. It may be independent, it may

911
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,640
Speaker 1: be a case by case deal, but right now Oregon's

912
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 1: problems are the same problems that you've seen Alabama have

913
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: at certain times this year. Ohio State currently has Clemson's

914
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: had them. Notre Dame hasn't had them, But Notre Dame

915
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: may be a little more limited offensively than some of

916
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 1: those other teams. So the question is not are they

917
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: currently struggling defensively? Answered unequivocally, yes, they are. Are they

918
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: able to set themselves on the same kind of trajectory

919
00:43:54,040 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 1: that Alabama has? Florida, for that matter, has been in

920
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: that situation, and none of those teams, at least Florida

921
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,680
Speaker 1: has not got themselves to elite status. I mean, they're

922
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 1: still struggling defensively, but the offensive product is plenty good

923
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:09,240
Speaker 1: enough to give you some leeway. How good can Oregon become?

924
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:11,320
Speaker 1: How much can they rectify things on that side of

925
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: the ball calls. They're suffering some pretty devastating injuries over

926
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 1: there too, that those other teams may not necessarily be

927
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: struggling from, and their roster, while improving year over year,

928
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: is not to the level that some of those truly

929
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: elite teams are. So keep an eye on that. Northwestern

930
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,200
Speaker 1: is five and zero. Northwestern I didn't see the AP today.

931
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: I have looked at it twice this year. I assume

932
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:40,800
Speaker 1: they're ranked highly. Though. Northwestern beat Wisconsin seventeen to seven yesterday,

933
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: and defense got after it. I mean they had three sacks,

934
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: they had seven tackles for loss. They forced five Wisconsin turnovers.

935
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: You know, in the early portion of the season, when

936
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 1: you saw Graham Mertz throwing the ball all over the place,

937
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:57,760
Speaker 1: and you asked, Paul Christ may be changing his style?

938
00:44:57,800 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: There he has when you have a coach Paul Christ,

939
00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:04,799
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart, whoever it may be, when they are resistant

940
00:45:04,840 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: to changing their offensive philosophy. Here's why they turned the

941
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 1: ball over five times yesterday. That's why, Okay, in the past,

942
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 1: when he's just handling Jon Taylor or whoever it was,

943
00:45:15,640 --> 00:45:18,520
Speaker 1: whichever all American pair of tailbacks he has, you don't

944
00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 1: really have to worry about that so much. Now. You

945
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:21,799
Speaker 1: may not win a national championship that way, but you're

946
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: also never going to turn the ball over five times

947
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 1: and lose to Northwestern seventeen to seven. That way, that's

948
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 1: why they're resistant because in your mind you may picture

949
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: what it's like when it works, but in their mind

950
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:35,000
Speaker 1: they say, Okay, I'm not going to have that kind

951
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 1: of production twelve times out of twelve, maybe nine or

952
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,000
Speaker 1: eight times out of twelve, but they're going to be

953
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: three or four games a year where we don't click,

954
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: and if the worst were to happen, we can't make

955
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: up for it. So that's what happened. So now five

956
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: and zero, there's Northwestern. They're in the driver's seat in

957
00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:53,399
Speaker 1: their division to go to the Big Ten Championship Game.

958
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: They have Michigan State, Minnesota, and Illinois still to come.

959
00:45:58,440 --> 00:46:01,920
Speaker 1: They could be unbeaten when they play Ohio State because

960
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: in all likelihood that's who they would play in the

961
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: Big Ten Championship Game. I had someone earlier today say

962
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,320
Speaker 1: you better talk about Northwestern tonight. Talking about Northwestern. I

963
00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:12,879
Speaker 1: got to give old Barton Simmons credit too. Barton has

964
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: been beating the Northwestern drum for better part of a

965
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 1: year now, but he was all over him in the spring.

966
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 1: In summer, and you know, everyone else was talking about

967
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 1: COVID and Barton was talking about Northwestern football. Seemed weird

968
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 1: at the time, but hats off to him and hats

969
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: off to Pat Fitzgerald in Northwestern. LSU squeaked by Arkansas

970
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: yesterday twenty seven to twenty four. More inexplicable victimization of

971
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,880
Speaker 1: Arkansas by the SEC. This time it was just the officials.

972
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: But be that as it may, LSU did get a win,

973
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: and it was very clear at some point this week

974
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 1: in the team meetings, Edwards Ron and his brain trusted

975
00:46:47,800 --> 00:46:50,759
Speaker 1: down there, looked around and they figured out, all right, Bopolini,

976
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 1: here's a concept. If we never have our defense on

977
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,480
Speaker 1: the field, he can't hurt us that much. And so

978
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: what they did is they came into the Arkansas game

979
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: and they had a very simple strategy, never let the

980
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: defense get on the field, and it pretty much worked.

981
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,240
Speaker 1: Time of possession in this game was forty one minutes

982
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,280
Speaker 1: and forty three seconds for LSU, eighteen minutes and seventeen

983
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: seconds for Arkansas. Ninety one plays to fifty three plays.

984
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: That was the time of possession. That was the critical

985
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: factor edge yesterday, and so LSU you get all that,

986
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 1: you have those sizeable edges and it's twenty seven to

987
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 1: twenty four. That's the final they covered, though, so I

988
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,000
Speaker 1: can say that about LSU they covered that would have

989
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: been a bad one for him to drop. Arkansas is

990
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: still very much exceeding expectation. LSU gets Texas A and

991
00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: M this week. A and M's favored by twelve to

992
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 1: twelve and a half. I think, just too open. I

993
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 1: looked at it in about an hour. A and M's

994
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: gonna want that one pretty bad. I know that's a

995
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: spoiler alert to end all spoiler alerts, but A and

996
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 1: M's gonna want that one pretty bad. There are a

997
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 1: lot of these games where LSU was favored. I think

998
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 1: they were favored against Arkansas by forty one last year,

999
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: and they were a one point favorite. I think yesterday

1000
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 1: it was bouncing around that line crossed zero a couple

1001
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 1: of times. And then lastly, I wanted to talk about

1002
00:48:08,040 --> 00:48:12,640
Speaker 1: USC beating Utah thirty three to seventeen. Was going to

1003
00:48:12,680 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 1: hand this game out, but I didn't. I was going

1004
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 1: to hand out Utah, so I'm glad I didn't. We

1005
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:19,239
Speaker 1: had heads up pretty early in the week that there

1006
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,480
Speaker 1: were some COVID situations behind the scenes with Utah's quarterback

1007
00:48:22,520 --> 00:48:24,880
Speaker 1: room and that turned out to be the case, but

1008
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: Jake Bentley ended up not being the starter. Regardless, Cam

1009
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 1: Rising was Utah was minus three turnovers. Here was Utah's

1010
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,280
Speaker 1: first game of the year, Southern Cal's third game. And now,

1011
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,919
Speaker 1: as I said, with Auburn kind of an anonymous five

1012
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 1: and two team, USC's three and oh. And not only that,

1013
00:48:41,719 --> 00:48:44,799
Speaker 1: I mean with Oregon looking very suspect right now, I

1014
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: mean you got to ask the question, as I said

1015
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,399
Speaker 1: last week with Southern Cal, are they just buying time

1016
00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 1: until they eventually get smashed or are they living on

1017
00:48:53,480 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 1: borrowed time? Well, I mean, so far they're three and

1018
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,319
Speaker 1: oh and they're not playing that long a season out there.

1019
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: So it was just assumed, oh, this year is going

1020
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 1: to be a death blow for Clay Helton. Well they

1021
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,360
Speaker 1: better start losing quick or it's not going to be

1022
00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: anything along those lines. In fact, all it is right

1023
00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: now is a season where they're the favorites to win

1024
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: their division and go play for conference championship. So that

1025
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: was a quick trip around America yesterday. It was a

1026
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:20,439
Speaker 1: really underrated, entertaining week. College football learned a whole lot

1027
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: and it sets some things up. That's the important part.

1028
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff has been set up now for

1029
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: this week. This is a critical week. It's a rivalry

1030
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: week in some cases. I'm not talking about South Carolina tonight,

1031
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,400
Speaker 1: but believe you me, we will be updating you on

1032
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,319
Speaker 1: South Carolina. I talked to someone pretty close to that

1033
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:42,399
Speaker 1: coaching search Friday night, Yeah, for about an hour, and

1034
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: think they want to move this week. Can't tell you

1035
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 1: definitively they will. I think they want to move this week.

1036
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: So bears very very close watching Ram and Noddle express.

1037
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 1: Let's go, Colin. We have got because it's a truncated week,

1038
00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,200
Speaker 1: it's Thanksgiving week. We have got games that are coming

1039
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,440
Speaker 1: up on Friday, a bunch of them, and then you

1040
00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,600
Speaker 1: got the usual Saturday slate. We have a lot of

1041
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,959
Speaker 1: value on the board. So I can't stress and strong

1042
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: enough terms. Follow me on Twitter at late Kick Josh.

1043
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 1: For instance, if you only took the games that I

1044
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: showed on the Thursday show, I think you went two

1045
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 1: and three this week. But I put out two more games,

1046
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: and both of them one on Twitter because it was

1047
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: after the Thursday show, as I told you to expect. Well,

1048
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 1: those went too, and oh, so we went four and

1049
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: three on the week. We're sitting at right around fifty

1050
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,720
Speaker 1: eight percent against the spread this year. We're just chugging

1051
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 1: right along, doing really good. Some viewers have started to

1052
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:36,319
Speaker 1: photoshop varying pictures of yours truly, and a train and

1053
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,400
Speaker 1: a pack of Ramen noodles. Those are the three keys

1054
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,799
Speaker 1: for the Rama Noodle Express, and I've been using them

1055
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: those of you who have sent some good ones, and

1056
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: they've been really good. I don't know photoshop to save

1057
00:50:44,760 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: my life, so you know they're not coming from me.

1058
00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:49,920
Speaker 1: They've been good, So send me your submissions. You've seen them.

1059
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:51,880
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen them already, just go scroll up

1060
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: and down my Twitter feed. You'll see them. Really good stuff.

1061
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: So we have got two best bets that I've already

1062
00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:59,399
Speaker 1: put out today. I don't think these lines have moved much.

1063
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:02,640
Speaker 1: I think North Texas moved down a point. So get

1064
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,360
Speaker 1: on these as quickly as you can. North Texas is

1065
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:08,399
Speaker 1: playing University of Texas San Antonio five and a half

1066
00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,480
Speaker 1: point dogs. We're taking unt plus five and a half

1067
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: and then Central Michigan minus five and a half on

1068
00:51:15,120 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 1: the road at Eastern Michigan. Our numbers have Central Michigan

1069
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: winning that game by double digits. If I had my guess,

1070
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: I would think that's going up to at least a touchdown.

1071
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: So grab it now, Central Michigan minus five. That is

1072
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: a Friday game, by the way, and again, remember got

1073
00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: some more coming your way. I highly doubt that we

1074
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: will limit it to five this week. I think we're

1075
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: going to be above five again. We were at seven

1076
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,720
Speaker 1: last week. Wouldn't be surprised if we went at least

1077
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:42,959
Speaker 1: seven this week. So follow me on Twitter at Late Kick, Josh.

1078
00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:45,759
Speaker 1: I need to remind you. I don't need to remind

1079
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: you at Thanksgiving week. I do need to remind you.

1080
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 1: We've got a programming update this week, so of course

1081
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:51,879
Speaker 1: we're not going to have a Thursday show. What we're

1082
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: going to have is we're going to have our usual

1083
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: Tuesday show, which is full of game predictions, and we'll

1084
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,440
Speaker 1: have a ton of predictions for you. Also, the Tuesday

1085
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 1: night college football playoff rankings are coming, and that's going

1086
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 1: to be live obviously, I think it's on ESPN wherever

1087
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:09,200
Speaker 1: they broadcast that, So I'll have a separate reaction video

1088
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: for that. So you'll have Late Kick live on but

1089
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:13,719
Speaker 1: I won't because that's going to be a can that's

1090
00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:15,720
Speaker 1: going to be pre recorded earlier in the day. It'll

1091
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 1: still be everything that you normally get from the show, though,

1092
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 1: so that'll air and then later that night, probably right

1093
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: after the show goes off the air, Colin will have

1094
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 1: edited throughout the day, and like Magic, he will have

1095
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: sent me my college football playoff rankings reaction and I'll

1096
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:31,759
Speaker 1: have that up for you a little bit after that

1097
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: goes off the year on ESPN, So you want to

Speaker 1: stay tuned for that. As I said, I got a
