1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, it's bull season.

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: You're in for quite to day, folks, it's the most

3
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: wonderful time.

00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 3: What's up the general nation? Welcome Big Bets on Campus podcast.

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 3: This is the College Football Ball Betting Preview, Part four.

6
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: I'm stucky in joining me, as always is Colin Wilson.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 3: We have balls through year's it's not New Year's Day,

8
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 3: January second, and we're going to cover the college football

9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 3: playoff semi finals.

10
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 4: If that doesn't what your wrapper card, you're.

11
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 3: Watching the wrong channel. It's been so long since we've

12
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 3: seen some of these teams. I'm excited to talk about it. Colen,

13
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 3: how's ball season going so far? And you're ready to

14
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: do I think we're gonna disagree on least at least

15
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: TCU Michigan, which I'm excited about. Yeah.

16
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, we got a few disagreements coming here. But no

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 5: ball season has been great. I think I've emotionally overcome

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 5: from the UTSA referee show that got Troy to the window.

19
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 5: And you know bois not covering the opener of five

20
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 5: and a half or covering any number period.

21
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 6: Really the only.

22
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 5: Two losses that stick out to me. I was pretty

23
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 5: happy to get in to Mexico State under the window.

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,119
Speaker 5: That was a little bit of a sweat with Bowling

25
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,320
Speaker 5: Green coming on hot there at the end, but you

26
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 5: know both season has been good.

27
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 3: Same here. Hopefully I can keep it going. We have

28
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: so much action left that we all can keep going

29
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 3: to the window right until the National Championship. By the way,

30
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 3: we will have a episode late next week for the

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: National Championship. We will award our Haiti Smith Caller of

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: the Year for calling into the voicemails. Appreciate everyone who

33
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: did that all year. And then we will also award

34
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 3: our fifth annual Gambling Heisman Trophy Award. So excited about that.

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: We will cover nine bowls in total, including the College

36
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 3: Football Playoffs semi finals today. We will get to those

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: two games at the end. We're going to start things

38
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: off with on Friday night. If you missed part three

39
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,639
Speaker 3: and you're listening to this, and there's still a couple

40
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: of games on Friday to go. All the rest of

41
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: the games besides the Orange Bowl are covered on the

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 3: Boll Betting Preview Part three, so make sure you check

43
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 3: that out. But let's kick things off here on Friday

44
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 3: night with the Orange Bowl between Tennessee and Clemson clemsons

45
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: of four and a half point favorite here over under

46
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 3: sixty three and a.

47
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Half the Orange Bowl.

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: And good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.

49
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 3: I'm Keith Jackson.

50
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 4: I'll be calling the play in today's ball game. We

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 4: have an afternoon of what college football is all about.

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 4: It's the kind of a week that you could really

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: get yourself a set of white knuckles if you were

54
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 4: a partisan to either one of these teams, because the fever,

55
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: if you will, is so fervent it's almost impossible to measure.

56
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 3: As I mentioned, this game is Friday night, a pm

57
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: Eastern on ESPN in Miami Gardens, Florida. How much orange

58
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: can you have for the Orange Bowl? Tennessee and Clemson

59
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,799
Speaker 3: talk about branding, but this game is not. I mean

60
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: what these two teams were in the top five. I

61
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 3: think after Week nine and these teams are going to

62
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 3: look drastically different than they did at that point in

63
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 3: time because we have two different starting quarterbacks. Now. Kate

64
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: Clebnick will make his first career collegiate start in the postseason,

65
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: taking on Joe Milton, so there's no hendon hooker for Tennessee.

66
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 3: Jalen Hylott, the Litnikoff Award winner star wide receiver, He's out.

67
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 3: Cedric Tilman, the other star receiver for Tennessee, is out.

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: Their linebacker Banks is also out on clubs inside DJU

69
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: transferred to Oregon State, so he's obviously out. Miles Murphy

70
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: is probably a first round draft pick on their defensive line.

71
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 3: He's out, as well as linebacker Trenton Simpson. Could have

72
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 3: a couple other opt outs leading up to the game.

73
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 3: As of now, that's what we know. It's also worth

74
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: mentioning that Josh Heipel offensive coordinator Scholish to South Florida

75
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 3: or will be the new head coach. So the question

76
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: here is, I mek Dabloisweeney. You have to give him

77
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: credit for he's been really good in bowls against the spread.

78
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: I think he's twelve and six against the spread. He

79
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 3: takes them serious, and I mean, look, I'm going to

80
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 3: start this podcast off in a good mood and I'm

81
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 3: not going to piss off Clemson defense. I won't even

82
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: talk about the comments that he made about naming, image

83
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: and likeness and maybe God's a Clemson event. Maybe God

84
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 3: actually chooses football teams, you.

85
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 7: Know, honestly, for me, We built this program on nil.

86
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 7: We really did. It's probably different than what you're thinking, though.

87
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 3: We built this.

88
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 7: Program in God's name, image and likeness, and that's how

89
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 7: I look at it. You know, we've been dealing with

90
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 7: his name, image and likeness for a long time.

91
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 3: But when I look at this game, it's very hard

92
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: to handicap because it's okay, Tennessee's run defense was pretty

93
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: good all year, so ken Clay Kid Klubnick and this

94
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,479
Speaker 3: Clemson passing offense, which was very inconsistent and underwhelming, take

95
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 3: advantage of Tennessee secondary because if you do look at

96
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: Ka Klubook, he was great in you know, came in

97
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 3: for DJU and the AC Championship, but that was North

98
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 3: Carolina's defense. Now, maybe you could argue Tennessee's defense as

99
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 3: far as the second is concerned, is on the same level.

100
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 3: And on the other side, it's like, what can you

101
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: expect from Joe Milton and now a very depleted like

102
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,480
Speaker 3: you have Bru McCoy and it's you know, you're gonna

103
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: have to rely on a couple of really inexperienced guys.

104
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: Could you lose Hiatt and Tilman. That's a lot of

105
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 3: production and a lot of talent on the outside. My

106
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: first thought I was thinking of maybe under here, Like

107
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 3: I mean Tennessee Unders in a bowl game, you know

108
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 3: they're gonna want to go as fast as possible. This

109
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: one's pretty difficult for me to get a handle on.

110
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: What do you see here?

111
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 5: Listen, the Cane Club Nick twenty twenty three Heisman campaign

112
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 5: is going to get started. He went nineteen to twenty

113
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 5: three against the UNC. Two of those are being dropped

114
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 5: by the targets themselves. He went six of eight in

115
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 5: play action passing with a touchdown. I think that's going

116
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 5: to be a similar format to what we see here.

117
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 5: He had to scramble two design runs. I'm not really

118
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,720
Speaker 5: sure why dj uy Young Galiley was the starter for

119
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 5: so long this season. Clemson fans have been asking for

120
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 5: it since mid season. I'm not really sure what took Davos.

121
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 3: Because of you, You were the one who pushed in

122
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 3: the boss the DJU podcast. You kept it going.

123
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 5: I renamed us the Kad Klebnik Podcast midstream too. There's

124
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 5: no losses from the wide receivers that had targets in

125
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 5: the AEC Championship game. Kobe Pace the backup, back up

126
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,679
Speaker 5: running bad, but the two headed monster there with will Shipley,

127
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 5: he only had three carries. He's now in the portal.

128
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 5: Not really a big hurt there, but you know, does

129
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 5: the offense improve. The rushing was already one of the

130
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 5: best in the nation. Like I said, with Will Shipley,

131
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 5: he had a TD in all but two games this season.

132
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 5: So if you can find a prop out there about

133
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 5: Will Shipley hitting a touchdown, it's probably worse some money,

134
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 5: especially if it's under minus one twenty or minus one thirty.

135
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 5: And although Tennessee was terrible in a pass rush at

136
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifth, Byron Young at the edge, you

137
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 5: know he's going to play in this game before he

138
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 5: goes to the draft. He had thirty six pressure seven sacks.

139
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 6: You know.

140
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 5: I think what's interesting to me about Byron Young's numbers

141
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 5: about can he be a factor here against the Clemson

142
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,280
Speaker 5: offensive line. He only had three pressures in his final

143
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 5: four games, and that includes zero pressures when he took

144
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 5: on the Georgia offensive line, So he kind of disappeared

145
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 5: when it turned into big time games for Tennessee. I

146
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 5: think the big question here is defensive coordinator Tim Banks.

147
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 5: For Tennessee, he calls a lot of soft zone coverages,

148
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,559
Speaker 5: and you know, opponents have had a lot of scoring

149
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 5: opportunities here, especially against the secondary. Tennessee was twenty ninth

150
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 5: and in defensive finishing drives. But it's going to be

151
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 5: a true test for the Tennessee defense against Clemson offensive

152
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: coordinator Brandon Streeter, who finished second in red zone efficiency

153
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 5: and fourth and red zone ten percentage. How much of

154
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 5: that was dj though carrying the ball, We'll see, But

155
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 5: I mean Clemson has been elite in the red zone offensively.

156
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 6: And then you mentioned Joe Milton. It's you know, the score.

157
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 5: Against Vanderbilt may make you think that Joe Milton had

158
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 5: a great game.

159
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: He did. His numbers are pretty underwhelming.

160
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, he went eleven of twenty one. He went one

161
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 5: of nine on passing over twenty yards.

162
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 6: Not good.

163
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 5: He completed three of ten on blitz downs by Vandy.

164
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 5: So you can expect a lot of blitz coming in

165
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 5: from West Goodwin.

166
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 3: The defensive course, now you don't have Hiatt and Tilman

167
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 3: out there.

168
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 5: Don't have Highatt and Tilman, and I think Georgia really

169
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 5: exposed what this Tennessee offense is and how you defend

170
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 5: Josh hipel which is you have to jam at the

171
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 5: line of scrimmage to get the timing off. Joe Milton

172
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 5: can't even hit the timing and his accuracy is not

173
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 5: as good as Hndon Hookers. So to me it it

174
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 5: just spells doom for Tennessee all over a reason why

175
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 5: I would want to take Clemson with the market is

176
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 5: now sitting at minus five and a half.

177
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 6: And you know, there are key players there.

178
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 5: There's a lot of people that are out for Clemson,

179
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 5: but there are some of the key players like Nate

180
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 5: Wiggins is there at corner. He had nine forced in

181
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 5: completions on the season. kJ Henry Tyler, Davis, Brian Barresi

182
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 5: are all expected to play in this on the defensive line.

183
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 5: And you know you mentioned that who's left for Tennessee

184
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 5: to catch the ball? Ra mel Keaton and Bruce McCoy are.

185
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 5: They're white out, but they're not explosive when you look

186
00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 5: at yards per route run at all. They are not

187
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 5: Jay highlight in the slot, which is a monster gap

188
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 5: that this offense just can't fill. So you know, I

189
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,959
Speaker 5: do project Clemson at minus three if everybody was playing

190
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 5: in this game, considering they're not for Tennessee I'm you know,

191
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 5: I expect the number for Clemson to be higher, but

192
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 5: for me, it's all Clemson here.

193
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really like Tennis City. So that should

194
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 3: tell you, you know, because I've been lower on Clemson

195
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 3: the market all year, and I would lean under too.

196
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 3: I just don't think Tennessee's gonna have that much success.

197
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 3: And I think to Clemson is gonna want to run

198
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: the ball to set up the pass, and Tennessee's run

199
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: d has been good, So I think the total is

200
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: a tad to high. But yeah, you make a good

201
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: case for Clemson, and Dabbo, like I said, has been

202
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: really good in bulls. These guys were. Tennessee opting out

203
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: probably isn't a great sign for their motivation. You got

204
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 3: to remember that like Clemson, and I thought last year

205
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 3: gets Iowa State that the Clempson wasn't gonna be motivated,

206
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 3: and Dabbo had them ready for that. Tennessee was so

207
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 3: close to the Costball playoff multiple times, right, like they

208
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: controlled their own destiny lost to Georgia. Everything broke their

209
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 3: way and all they had to do is basically went

210
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 3: out and they get blown up by South Carolina. So

211
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 3: I know it's the Orange Bowl. I know that it's Clemson,

212
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 3: but there's got to be I think Tennessee is more

213
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 3: disappointed in how things broke than Clemson. And Clemson might

214
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 3: be rejuvenated with clube Nick getting his first start here,

215
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 3: whereas there's obviously a big drop off from Hooker to Milton.

216
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 3: All right, let's move on to Saturday, New Year's Eve.

217
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: I can't wait for this day's kick things off. Just

218
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 3: an amazing day. We'll kick things off noon Eastern on

219
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: ESPN with the All State Sugar Bowl between Kanadas State

220
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: and Alabama. Alabama is a six and a half point

221
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,479
Speaker 3: favorite over under fifty six.

222
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: The Sugar Bowl.

223
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 4: There have been some compromises throughout the country so people

224
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 4: could watch it. There's no law against scalping tickets and

225
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 4: premium prices have been paid.

226
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 3: These games in New Orleans, Louisiana. Breaking news here is

227
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 3: Alabama apparently has no opt outs. Brace will Anderson Gibbs there.

228
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 3: You know a lot of their projected first round draft picks,

229
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 3: first or second round draft picks on the defensive side.

230
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 3: You know, talking Battle and Young and malc On Moore.

231
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 3: Apparently they're all playing. There's a couple of guys in

232
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: the transfer portal, mainly at wide receiver, and they lost

233
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 3: the starting offensive lineman. But it looks like everyone is

234
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: a go Battle branch More on the defensive side, everyone

235
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 3: on the offensive end is a go for Alabama, and

236
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: same thing with Kansas State. So I played this completely wrong.

237
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 3: I took Kansas State plus four and a half, and

238
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 3: I assume that I don't why would Bryce down play?

239
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,959
Speaker 3: This game is gonna be a you know, maybe the

240
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 3: number one overall pick. Why would Will Anderson play? But

241
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: I don't know. Apparently everyone in Alabama's gonna play. So

242
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 3: I'm stuck. So I have to you know, I have

243
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 3: a bad number and I can't buy out of it.

244
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 3: So I'm stuck with Kansas State. If you follow me,

245
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 3: let's go h Ema. But I'm stuck here. So anyone

246
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: that's looking at this game now with the current line

247
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 3: can projected total and you're basically assuming like everyone is

248
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 3: a go on both sides outside of some you know,

249
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,600
Speaker 3: wider Trayshon Holden, Jojo Urrow, you know, a couple of

250
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:19,839
Speaker 3: the wide receiver contributors, and then one starting offensive lineman

251
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 3: for Alabama. If everyone's a full go here, what's the

252
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: play in the Sugar Bowl.

253
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, the play here is the over.

254
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 5: And the reason is because the two biggest factors in

255
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: this game are going to be Jamiir Gibbs and Duce Vaughan.

256
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 5: So the question is is which defense is going to

257
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 5: have the ability to take care of these you know,

258
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 5: these huge threats that can run the ball, they can

259
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 5: take dump off in the flats, they can hit crossers,

260
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 5: and Jamier Gibbs and ducebaughand this is their show right away.

261
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 5: So when you look at you know who's better at

262
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 5: defending the rush? Alabama finished fifty second and defensive rushing

263
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 5: success rate. Kansas State finished forty sixth in the same

264
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 5: metric on defense, So neither of them really wins that

265
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 5: you look at stuff rate Alabama a bit better, but

266
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 5: I don't really see these two backs going in between

267
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 5: the tackles. That's not going to be the game plan

268
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 5: for them. And then when you look at the other metrics,

269
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 5: it's just kind of leaky on defense. Like Kansas State

270
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 5: is one hundred and fifth in defensive line yards. That

271
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 5: tells me Jamier Gibbs is going to be able to

272
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 5: run the ball any down and distance. He's going to

273
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 5: be able to get there.

274
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 6: You know, when you look.

275
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,679
Speaker 5: At Alabama, they're outside the top fifty in the same thing.

276
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 5: So all things being said, there are advantages here for

277
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 5: both offenses and finishing drives.

278
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 6: Are both going to put up points when they get

279
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 6: past the forty.

280
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 5: Each defense has worse metrics on the defensive side than

281
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 5: they do on the offensive side. And Alabama, you know,

282
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 5: they really trump Kansas State and strength of schedule, strength

283
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 5: of records.

284
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 6: So if you had to take a side, I would

285
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 6: be all in on Alabama here.

286
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 5: It's a game that I would project at seven, but

287
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 5: more importantly, I think the total should be a touchdown higher.

288
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 6: I would love to get the key of fifty five.

289
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 5: There's a lot of fifty six is out there on

290
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 5: the board, so we have forced to play the over

291
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 5: fifty six. I would if you can find a fifty

292
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 5: five and a half buy it down to key, I would.

293
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 5: But there's just too many advantages for both Jamier Gibbs

294
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 5: and Douce Vaughn and these advanced analytics, and I don't

295
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,440
Speaker 5: see a lot of containment of those two exclusive backs.

296
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 6: So over all the way from.

297
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 3: Me, yeah, and I know everyone was going to play,

298
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 3: but is the prep you know, like they're all that's

299
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: to be a cogswell playoff usually like is they are

300
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: they going to take the prep as serious? And is

301
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 3: the motivation all there now they're all playing, so you

302
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: would think yes, but do you think that can you

303
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: expect everyone about to play the whole game? Like is

304
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 3: it going to be because pribacends gonna be potentially a

305
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 3: number one pick? Is it going to be could potentially

306
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 3: he be rotating possessions? Like what do you think there is?

307
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 3: Can you?

308
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 6: Yeah?

309
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 5: I mean, I think the problem with Alabama is is

310
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,840
Speaker 5: there's never been any consistency with the wide receivers the

311
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 5: entire season. They're just not going to flip a switch

312
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 5: and have that start. You know, Treyshawn Holden's out, Christian

313
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 5: Larry Jojo Earl, but then there are other players, but

314
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 5: the connection just has not been there whatsoever. So even

315
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 5: if he is in the game and he is throwing deep,

316
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 5: doesn't matter because that is a great place to attack

317
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 5: Kansas State. But Alabama has not shown enough consistency to

318
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 5: get that done. It's really going to be what it's

319
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 5: been all a year, which is Jamir Gibbs, you know,

320
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 5: just being untouchable when he's full strength, which he is.

321
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 5: I think the other interesting thing is on the other

322
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 5: side of the ball, Adrian Martinez should be completely amped

323
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 5: up to play in this game.

324
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 6: He needs some you.

325
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 5: Know, good goodbye film before he tries to play in

326
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 5: the NFL or play in another league or whatever his

327
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 5: future is going to hold. But this could be it

328
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 5: for Adrian Martinez. So you know, there's definitely some more

329
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 5: motivation on the Kansas State side. I just don't see

330
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 5: Alabama's passing game turning on the light switch and figuring

331
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 5: it out here because they have not figured it out

332
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 5: all season.

333
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, it should be a big Gibbs game because can

334
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 3: you really see Bryce Young running a lot in this game?

335
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: Risking like he's not going to run at all, Right,

336
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 3: so he's gonna be checking it down two Gibbs A

337
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 3: ton Gibbs is going to be doing most of the running.

338
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 3: I can't see Bryce Young like diving into defenders to

339
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: pick up a first down on the scramble.

340
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 6: Right.

341
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 8: Well.

342
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, and considering how poor Kansas State is in the

343
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 5: lineyards outside the top one hundred, don't you think we'd

344
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 5: se Jalen Milroe in there running zone Reid with what

345
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 5: Jamir Gibbs. It just that makes more sense in this game.

346
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, let's move on to a gain. It

347
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: might not have this many fireworks in the Music City

348
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 3: Ball between Kentucky and Iowa. Iowa was a two and

349
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: a half point favorite. Hear over under thirty one. It

350
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: could be the lowest total in college football history, I believe.

351
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: And it's in a ballgame.

352
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: Amazing the Music City Bowl.

353
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 2: And do we expect anything today other than a close talk,

354
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 2: knock them down, belly up football game.

355
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 3: This game's in Nashville, Tennessee, Saturday, December thirty, first New

356
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 3: Year's Eve neon Eastern ABC be going on at the

357
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 3: same time as Kansas State Alabama. Nice little appetizers before

358
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: the College wall playoff. UK opt outs quarterback Will Levis,

359
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 3: running back Chris Rodriguez, cornerback Carrington Valentine, anyone I ever

360
00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 3: mentioned as an opt out only meaningful players for what

361
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 3: it's worst, so they won't all be starters. Destin Wade

362
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: is expected to get a first career start for Kentucky

363
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 3: at quarterback, and then they're gonna have a fourth string

364
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 3: running back in there. Kentucky also fired their offensive coordinator.

365
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,960
Speaker 3: I still don't know who's gonna call plays on the

366
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,719
Speaker 3: Iowa side. You know, safety Kavon Merriweather opted out. They

367
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 3: also had a couple of receivers in the transfer portal,

368
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 3: and both of their starting quarterbacks are out, so you

369
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 3: will have third string quarterback Joey Labas or labis I

370
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 3: don't even know how to pronounce, to make his first

371
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 3: collegiate start. Tight end Sam Laporter, one of the best

372
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 3: of the country, looks like he is expected to play.

373
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 3: I took Iowa here on the money line. I would

374
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 3: take them again on the money line and look in

375
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 3: a game with a total thirty one, and in bowl

376
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 3: games where you know, if the team scores a touchdown

377
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 3: at the end, you're probably not gonna play for every

378
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 3: time you might go over two, I would look for

379
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 3: a cheap money on here, especially with this total. Every

380
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 3: point means like this game could end. This game could

381
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 3: end eight seven. Surprise me. But I think that Iowa

382
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 3: look their third string quarterback. It might be an upgrade

383
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 3: over the quarterback play they got this year. They got

384
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 3: no quarterback play. And this guy and this kid you know,

385
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: apparently was he can move a little bit. He was

386
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 3: impressive in the spring game at times like maybe it's

387
00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 3: an upgrade, whereas I guess with Kentucky, I think it's

388
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: a clear downgrade. Their offensive line was poor all year.

389
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: They don't have you know who's calling plays, they all

390
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 3: Chris Rodriguez. You also, they lost their other backup, Smoke

391
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 3: in the transfer portal, so you're down to a four

392
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 3: string running back because your third string was also got hurt.

393
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 3: So and I just think that I was used to

394
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 3: winning these types of games, and they're used to winning

395
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 3: with their defense. And I just find it hard to

396
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 3: see how Kentucky can move the ball. And I see

397
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,720
Speaker 3: Iowa forcing a couple of turnovers, make a couple of

398
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 3: plays on special teams, and that'll be the difference. I

399
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 3: can't play under thirty one in a ball game, but

400
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 3: this one should be ugly. It's Iowa money line for me.

401
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: I think they've find away. The quarterback drop off is

402
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 3: much more important for Kentucky because their offensive line has

403
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 3: been bad all year. So give me the Hawkeyes here

404
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,880
Speaker 3: in a rematch is a rematch of last year's bowl game.

405
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 3: What do you see here?

406
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 5: Well, I'm staring at the board with a key number

407
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 5: of thirty one. I'm seeing one book I shop at

408
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 5: at thirty and a half, another one at thirty one

409
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 5: and a half. So I think I should stop talking

410
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 5: and go lay on both sides and just see if

411
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,840
Speaker 5: it lands thirty one. But listen, I mean, if there

412
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 5: were full participation in the rosters, I would make this

413
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 5: total thirty six. So when you miss some of the

414
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 5: players that they're talking about, I can see why there's

415
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 5: the dip.

416
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 6: In this number.

417
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 5: But consider these rosters last year, right, I mean, we

418
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 5: just have this sample. Most of the same players played

419
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,520
Speaker 5: in the Citters Bowl last year. Wandell Robertson, Chris Rodrigue,

420
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 5: Samuel Porter, Spencer Petris will Levis. They all played last year.

421
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 5: The final score was thirty seven points. You take away

422
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 5: all those names I just mentioned, with the exception of

423
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:54,239
Speaker 5: maybe Loporto, who's going to try to play. I mean,

424
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 5: I can understand why this is thirty one. I could

425
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 5: even make a case it should be lower without those

426
00:19:57,840 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 5: names because they did not replace.

427
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 6: Any of them with anything that's quality.

428
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and Kentucky's offensive line got significantly worse.

429
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 5: Yes, Laporta has been practicing for four weeks off of surgery.

430
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 5: Now you know his draft profile has all the highlights

431
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 5: that he needs, but he's still going to play here.

432
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 5: And you know, quarterback Joey Labas is going to get

433
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,679
Speaker 5: to start for Iowa. He was the Scout team quarterback.

434
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 5: He says he has a lot of familiarity with some

435
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,199
Speaker 5: of the pieces in practice because it's some of the

436
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 5: Scout Team players too. Iowa finished one hundred and thirtieth

437
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 5: in pass blocking. Like I mean, Kentucky's just going to

438
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 5: be able to roll through that offensive line and get

439
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 5: some pressure on this Scout team quarterback. And Deustin Wade's

440
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 5: going to get to start for Kentucky. Deuce Hogan and

441
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 5: Kaya Sharon they're also going to get to see the field.

442
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 5: But this job belongs to Devin Larry next season. So

443
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 5: it's kind of a throwaway game here from the quarterback position.

444
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 5: But Wade was recruited as an athlete. I got some

445
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 5: dual threat capability here Baylor, Arizona State since they all

446
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 5: had offers out for this kid.

447
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 6: So we'll see what he can do.

448
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,400
Speaker 5: If he's got legs and he can get outside the tackles,

449
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 5: that's a plus for Kentucky. Iowa losses in the secondary

450
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,479
Speaker 5: or kave On Merriweather and Cooper Dejan both buying for

451
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 5: seven interceptions this season. But does that matter with Destin Wade,

452
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: Like is he going to be chucking it downfield for Kentucky?

453
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 5: Maybe not, because it's a ground based attack and Iowa

454
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 5: is the far superior defense when it comes to coverage, pass, rush, lineyards,

455
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 5: and havoc. I mean, there's a huge gap with havoc

456
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 5: in these teams and it all belongs to Iowa.

457
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 6: So for that reason, and special teams and special too, Iowa's.

458
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 5: Fourth, Kentucky seventy third. So there's just so many things

459
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,199
Speaker 5: in the intangibles that are important in Iowa football that

460
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 5: says that Iowa was going to win here.

461
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kentucky's they struggled kicking the ball. They also had

462
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 3: a punter. They're down to backup punter. They struggled in

463
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,959
Speaker 3: special teams, and i was obviously lead in that category

464
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 3: elite causing havoc, and I think that's the difference. I

465
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 3: think that they cause an extra turnover two, probably score

466
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 3: on defense, that's probably how the Iowa scores. And then

467
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: special teams. They're gonna pin Kentucky deep with their punting.

468
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 3: They're gonna play conservative that's I mean, if you're gonna

469
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 3: bet an under in the game, it's not like Karak

470
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 3: Frantz is gonna play aggressive because it's a bowl. He's

471
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 3: gonna play ali plays and especially with his personnel. So yeah,

472
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 3: and then Kentucky struggled to punt the ball, so Iowa

473
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 3: have a better field position and not for them to

474
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 3: go to score, for them to then flip the field

475
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 3: back and pin Kentucky deep and maybe get a safety.

476
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,320
Speaker 3: So yeah, this one won't be your prettiest game of

477
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 3: the weekend, but I think Iowa gets it done. I

478
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 3: like the money line. All Right, We're gonna save the

479
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 3: college f wall plaoff semifinals for last, So let's go

480
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 3: to Monday. It's gonna be weird like New Year's Day.

481
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 3: There's no bowl games because there's NFL. But on Monday

482
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: it's great. But then we get the you know, the

483
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:44,119
Speaker 3: New Year's Day on a Monday, basically on January seconds.

484
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 3: We'll kick things off at noon Eastern on ESPN two,

485
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,679
Speaker 3: and they rely a Quest Bowl between Mississippi State and Illinois.

486
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 3: This game, flipping around a pick, Illinois might as won

487
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 3: miss to the State might have won over under forty.

488
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: Six the relya Quest Bowl.

489
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 3: It's hard.

490
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: I suppose if your roots are Southern, you can call

491
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: it three whoop bees.

492
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 6: And a hot damn.

493
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 3: This is games that played in Tampa, Florida, so there

494
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 3: was a lot of backup. The reason why this line

495
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 3: has moved around is originally Mississippi State two of their

496
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 3: better defensive backs, Jackie Matthews and Emmanuel Forbes, they opted

497
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 3: out for the NFL Draft, but down now they came

498
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 3: back and said we're going to play. Their safety Colin

499
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 3: Duncan is still opting out as of now. It's also

500
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: worth mentioning that one of their best receivers, Rawi Thomas,

501
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 3: are one of their best running backs, Dylan Johnson hit

502
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 3: the transfer portal, but on the Illinois side. So then

503
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 3: it was like, okay, so I played Illinois originally and

504
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: I said, okay, Illinois is gonna be able to run

505
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 3: on this team. It's Mississippi State's weakness on defense and

506
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 3: Illinois secondary is elite. And that's all Mississippi State does

507
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 3: is throw the ball. Illinois can match up. Here then

508
00:23:55,480 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 3: comes the Illinois opt out news. You have Illinois's defense

509
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: back to of their best Devin Witherspoon and Sidney Brown

510
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 3: they opted out, and then it comes out Chase Brown,

511
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 3: They're a lead running back, opted out. So now it concerns, okay,

512
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: will Illinois action it would take advantage of this Mississippi

513
00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 3: State run defense and ken Illinois stop Will Rogers and

514
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: this air raid attack from UH carving them up without

515
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 3: two of their best players. So I bought back on Illinois.

516
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 3: And you also throw in just where is Mississippi State mentally?

517
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 6: Right?

518
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 3: With everything that happened with Mike Leach rip the goat,

519
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 3: you know we were they could be super motivated here.

520
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,280
Speaker 3: They also could have been super distracted leading up to

521
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 3: the game, which would be completely understandable. So yeah, I

522
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,920
Speaker 3: mean it's a good sign at like a couple of

523
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 3: the guys that were originally going to opt out for

524
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 3: the NFL Draft are deciding to play. Probably signals to

525
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 3: motivation here. But you know, this one's tough for me

526
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 3: to get a get a handle of that wild card

527
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 3: of where is Mississippi State mentally and how did everything

528
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 3: that went on impact their preparation? What do you see

529
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 3: here between Illinois Mississippi State?

530
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean from an ex's and o's and analytics perspective,

531
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 5: that's a really tough assignment for mississipp State air raid

532
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 5: scheme to go against an Illinois an ILLOI team that

533
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 5: was second in coverage and best in the nation and

534
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 5: defensive finishing drives. But there are huge missing pieces here

535
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 5: on both sides. Wide receiver Rara Thomas most explosive target

536
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 5: for the Bulldogs. They're white out. He finished one point

537
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 5: nine to nine yards per route run. He will not

538
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,320
Speaker 5: be available. Look for him on Georgia next year. But

539
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:37,320
Speaker 5: then on the other side of the ball, Devin Witherspoon

540
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 5: and Sydney Brown have opted out, and you know Tavian

541
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 5: Nicholson dealt with injury, and those are all in the

542
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 5: Illinois secondary. Specifically, Devin Witherspoon is a one man wrecking crew.

543
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 5: I mean he's going to just harass the NFL like

544
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 5: no tomorrow. Those three combine for an astounding forty one

545
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 5: forced end completions. Now you don't have those guys available.

546
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 5: That makes the air raid offense a little bit more potent.

547
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,880
Speaker 5: But at the same time we know this about rest

548
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 5: in Peace, Mike Leach. The air raid does not come

549
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 5: out of the gate after a bunch of time off

550
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 5: and is just on in sync, right, so you.

551
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: Kind of saw it with Houston too. Another another team

552
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: that was a Bertle beat by.

553
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 5: The way, Yeah, thank you that boy that in utsa

554
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 5: Louisian utsa go. I had six and a half. All right,

555
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 5: So Illinois loses Chase Brown three hundred and twenty nine

556
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 5: rushing attempts, ten tds, and then what's left Reggie Love

557
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 5: He had a season hie eleven rushing attempts to close

558
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 5: the season against Northwestern. He's been with Illinois for three years,

559
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 5: so he knows the system. He's just not Chase Brown.

560
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 5: And this will be time the Tommy DeVito show. I mean,

561
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 5: Mississippi State does not generate a pass rush, but they

562
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 5: finished top twenty and cover drinks in fourteenth against explosives,

563
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 5: So I don't expect Illinois to get downfield.

564
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 6: De Vito is going to be able to dink and

565
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 6: dunk and get some yards here.

566
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 5: I project the game as a pick a slight tick

567
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,679
Speaker 5: to Mississippi State with these crucial pieces missing in the

568
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 5: Illini secondary, a poor coverage grading from the Illinois linebackers.

569
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 5: To me, this is advantage Mississippi State all the way.

570
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 5: But you know, especially with Will Rogers, he had seventeen

571
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 5: attempts over twenty yards on the entire season, and like

572
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 5: one hundred and ninety one elsewhere within zero to ten

573
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 5: yards within the hash marks. I mean, he is going

574
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,200
Speaker 5: straight over center. So to me, knowing what the Mississippi

575
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 5: State offensive plan of attack is, knowing the ineptitude of

576
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 5: the Illinois offense without Chase Brown, it's a first half.

577
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 6: Under for me all the way.

578
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 5: Maybe the araid wakes up in the second half, but

579
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 5: this is a Mississippi State full game bet and a

580
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:36,640
Speaker 5: first half under bet.

581
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't mind the first half under at all.

582
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 3: Maybe that's where I look. I'm way too conflicted on

583
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 3: the side, which is why I bought out and won't

584
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 3: be invested there. But I kind of liked that first

585
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 3: half under with the rust factor for Mississippi State as well.

586
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 3: And no, Chase Brown is big for Illinois with his

587
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 3: explosive running ability, which is the weakness of that Mississippi

588
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 3: State defense. You know you're getting Forbes and Matthews in

589
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 3: that secondary, which has been great all year. All right,

590
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 3: let's move on to the second kickoff on Monday, January second.

591
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 3: Let's go to the Goodyear Cotton Bowl between Tulane and USC.

592
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: The Cotton Bowl Classic.

593
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:25,320
Speaker 3: O Cotton Live.

594
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: Heale to the victors value, Pale to the conquering hero USC.

595
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 3: He's a two point favorite here over under sixty two.

596
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: This game's at one pm Eastern on ESPN in Arlington, Texas.

597
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 3: USC News Jordan Adison will play. Two of their best

598
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: offensive linemen, Andrew Gordy's in their center. Brett Neiland won't play.

599
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: Doubt Eddy, I think Tulane everyone should play. When I

600
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 3: look at this game, it's all Tulane for me. I

601
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 3: had Tulane Circle coming into bowl season. And look, we

602
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 3: still don't know for sure on right we haven't got

603
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 3: any word on Caleb Williams for sure.

604
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 5: Right, Well, last night I read that he's one of

605
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 5: her sent He confirmed himself last night.

606
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 3: Yeah I was gonna play, but yeah he's As of now,

607
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,680
Speaker 3: he's gonna play. Get a hamster injury. Apparently he's healthy.

608
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 3: That always could change. They could just say, look we're

609
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 3: not we're gonna let you play. But I'm assuming that

610
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 3: he does play. I played Tulane here. If if Kayleb

611
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: Williams was out, I would have this would have been

612
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 3: an absolute hammer. I still like it. When I look

613
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: at this game, Number one motivation is major for USC.

614
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 3: It was one game away from being in the Collegewall playoffs.

615
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: Now you're playing Tulane in a bowl game. This is

616
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: obviously an enormous game for Tulane. A covering machine this year.

617
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 3: And what can Tulane do? Their secondary is elite. They

618
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: can match up with this USC passing attack and the

619
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 3: USC offensive line, by the way, good all year. Jepp

620
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 3: was always a question. Now you're mis two of your

621
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: best in that interior, which might impact the run game,

622
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 3: which is how USC will be able to attack Tulane here.

623
00:30:08,360 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: But you know who will be able to attack in

624
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:14,520
Speaker 3: the running game. It's Tulane against this USC impoverished run

625
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 3: defense which is bottom ten and EPA per rush and

626
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 3: rushed success rate. That spells trouble against Tajy Spears, who

627
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 3: will be fresh now and since he got fully healthy

628
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 3: midway through the season. Is past seven games at least

629
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty five yards in all, seven one

630
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty four carries for eleven hundred and ninety

631
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: four yards nine touchdowns. That's eight point nine yards per

632
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: carry over his last seven games. Going up against one

633
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 3: of the worst run defenses in the country. I think

634
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: he's going to run wild. Oh by the way, there's

635
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 3: still massive turnover regression that still looms for USC. Big

636
00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 3: motivational edge Tulane. I think Tulane wins this game out right.

637
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 3: There's not a ton of value the number. I mean,

638
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 3: I but this is motivation. Will play matchup, play rollwave

639
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 3: back to TWU lane one final time this year. Please

640
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 3: tell me you don't disagree.

641
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 5: I don't disagree with you that Tulane is going to

642
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,000
Speaker 5: put a whole bunch of points up on the board.

643
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 5: I don't disagree with you that it's just gonna be

644
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 5: a laser show of points. I think that's where my

645
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 5: handicap is. I'm actually gonna play both sides. I am

646
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 5: not gonna take a side because you know, the line

647
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 5: was just absolutely crazy, right USC. The favorite all comes

648
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 5: all the way down because we think Caleb Williams and

649
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 5: the company are all going to opt out. Then it

650
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 5: stops to X back up a little bit. I think

651
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 5: Tulane was the favorite at one point in this game.

652
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 5: I'm gonna stay away from all these pregame numbers. I

653
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 5: might play it live. And the reason is because these

654
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 5: rush defenses are horrific. USC one hundred and twenty fifth

655
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 5: in defensive rushing success rate. You go over to Tulane side,

656
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 5: they're outside the top one hundred in line yards or

657
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 5: one hundred and tenth and stuff. Right, So the name

658
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 5: of the game is and Austin Jones for USC. They

659
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 5: are going to dominate.

660
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 3: Now.

661
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 5: I think two Lane is gonna be able to get

662
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 5: points up on the board fast, ultra quick. Willie Fritz

663
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 5: is gonna design something that the USC defense.

664
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 6: Is not prepared for.

665
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 5: Oh, by the way, USC is one hundred and twenty

666
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 5: second and defensive finishing drives. Get the ball to the

667
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 5: forty yard line, you're gonna get six points, and two

668
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 5: Lane's gonna.

669
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 6: Do that a lot.

670
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 5: I actually love the first half over in this game

671
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 5: for the fact that these defenses are not gonna be

672
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 5: able to interpret what they're seeing. The playmakers that are

673
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 5: on the other side of the ball completely trump them

674
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 5: in execution.

675
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 6: I'm having a hard time seeing stopped in this game.

676
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 5: You look at USC's third down defense one hundred and twelfth,

677
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 5: you know, Tu Lane isn't much better at seventy six.

678
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 6: But really it's the ground game.

679
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 5: Everything the special teams are bad, the ground defense is bad,

680
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 5: the third down defense is bad.

681
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 6: So to me, this is an over. I think right

682
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,479
Speaker 6: out of the gate there's there's gonna be a ton

683
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 6: of touchdowns.

684
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 5: So I'm looking at first half over thirty and a

685
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 5: half first quarter on the over, I don't think the

686
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 5: points are gonna stop. I think if one team gets

687
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 5: down two possessions, you fire on the other side, as

688
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,240
Speaker 5: long as it's not past the third quarter, because I

689
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 5: don't think you're safe with a two or three possession

690
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 5: lead in this game at any point. And really, if

691
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 5: Tulane wants to get up by ten or more points,

692
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 5: you don't think USC and Caleb Williams is going to

693
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 5: start pulling some.

694
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 6: Of you know, the rabbit out of the hat and start.

695
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,120
Speaker 5: Going up tempo, which we've seen them do before. So

696
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 5: I just think there's going to be an abundance of points.

697
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 5: The jury for this game is going to be on

698
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 5: the first half over, and then I'm going to play

699
00:33:25,600 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 5: both sides of this live because I don't think any

700
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 5: lead is safe.

701
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't mind the over, and look, tou Lane

702
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: has also struggled global quarterbacks, but we'll see if that

703
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 3: you know that Caleb Wayne Sampster goes at any point

704
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: that could be a major development. But this is all

705
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 3: too lane for me. Rollway one of my favorite bets,

706
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 3: if not my favorite bet of the weekend. Let's go Greenway.

707
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 3: Treat me well, you know, Let's do one more time,

708
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 3: all right, Let's move on to stay at the same

709
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 3: time slot. Also one pm Eastern on January tewod we

710
00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 3: have Purdue taking on LSU in the Cheese Itt Citrus Bowl.

711
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 3: Else He's a fourteen and a half point favorite over

712
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 3: under fifty.

713
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: Six the Citrus Bowl.

714
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 2: Hello again, everybody, I'm Keith Jackson.

715
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 8: This is one of those games that echo forever. This

716
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 8: is a game that reaches across generations, that emphasizes the

717
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 8: passion of partisanship. This is a game where players make

718
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 8: the big play.

719
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 3: This game is at one pm Stern ABC in Orlando, Florida.

720
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 3: Purdue opt out their major quarterback An O'Connell, their star

721
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:39,120
Speaker 3: wide receiver Charlie Jones, their reliable tight end target Payne Dorham,

722
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 3: their best offensive lineman and guard Spencer Holstage. Defensive side,

723
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 3: their best cornerback in Corey Trice, linebacker and defensive leader

724
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 3: Jalen Graham, couple defensive linemen starters in Branson Dean and

725
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 3: Lawrence Johnson. Also, Jeff brom took the head coaching position

726
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 3: at Louisville. I think he matters, especially from a game

727
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:03,040
Speaker 3: playing respect of his brother. Offensive coordinator Brian bomb Will

728
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 3: coached the bowl game. LSU opt outs. Cornerback Jay Ward

729
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 3: was a starter. Wide receiver Darray Jenkins, he's like their

730
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 3: third best receiver. And then the defensive line ojelore Gay

731
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,400
Speaker 3: and Roy all out, so they only have one remaining

732
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 3: start on the defensive line and Makai Wingo. You're gonna

733
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 3: get Austin Burton here at starting quarterback. He did start

734
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 3: against FAU. It's FAU. The game was close, it was

735
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 3: Matt o'connells is so important. And then you know you're

736
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 3: missing also Charlie Jones, one of the best receivers in

737
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,800
Speaker 3: the country this year. Defensively, Produceding got to rely on

738
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 3: a lot of freshmen in the front seven, some inexperienced secondary.

739
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 3: They're missing their top two targets, their best offensive lineman,

740
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 3: and their star quarterback. That's bad news here. This could

741
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 3: look like that Perdue game against Auburn when they were

742
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 3: just outclassed athletically and got blown out of the building.

743
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 3: I think it was in the same I think it

744
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,080
Speaker 3: was in the I think that was the Music City Bowl.

745
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,360
Speaker 3: I think that was in Nashville. I laid it with LSU,

746
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 3: assuming that O'Connell was probably gonna set. I still would

747
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 3: if you can get fourteen or better, I would lay

748
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 3: it with LSU. It gets dicey at fourteen and a

749
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 3: half with back doors. Maybe you look first half, but

750
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 3: a while all the wide receivers for LSU were gonna

751
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 3: play has it You can't really run the ball and

752
00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 3: their quarterback. They're starting quarterback, their best tight end, the

753
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 3: best of its lining, the best wide receiver route, So like,

754
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:28,799
Speaker 3: where how are they attacking LSU? The talent gap in

755
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 3: this game is massive. This is all LSU. For me.

756
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:35,319
Speaker 3: I think this is just an easy, obvious blow out.

757
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 3: What do you see.

758
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 5: You hit the nail on the head when you said

759
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 5: there's a massive talent gap. So we could sit here

760
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 5: and tell you about the length of LSU's injury opt

761
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 5: out transfer portal. I mean it is a long list

762
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 5: of names, and when you look at guys like you

763
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 5: know on the edge bj Ojuli with forty nine pressures

764
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 5: in nine sacks and Ali Gay on the other side

765
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,880
Speaker 5: going to the NFL. I got news for everybody. LSU

766
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 5: has depth, a ton of depth. They came into the

767
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:02,400
Speaker 5: season with the most inherited through the transfer portal of

768
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 5: anybody last season. And now I'm looking, I'm literally looking

769
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 5: at the transfer portal rankings for next year. Already LSU

770
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 5: is seventeenth on the board. But this is what's happening

771
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,160
Speaker 5: with LSU. They've lost ten three stars, they've gained two

772
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:19,080
Speaker 5: four stars. This is a emerging giant, a sleeping giant

773
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 5: that has woken up this LCU recruiting and transfer portal.

774
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 5: Brian Kelly's got it all going. But back to this

775
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 5: game when it's upside perdue.

776
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: When you lose a star player, the drop off is significant.

777
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 5: Yeah, when LSU has to replace a star player like

778
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 5: bj o Ju Lauri, they're not hurting for talent at all.

779
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,839
Speaker 6: Everybody's long huge. It's gonna be able to get into

780
00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 6: the backfield.

781
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 5: So you know, Purdue, I don't know six years senior

782
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,120
Speaker 5: Austin Burton's going to be in a quarterback. I read

783
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,399
Speaker 5: that the locker room loves him. He's been working out

784
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 5: with you know, new assistant coach Drew Brees. Everybody's chumming

785
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 5: until you know the ball gets snapped. But you know,

786
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 5: both Michael Alamino and Brady Allen are expected to get

787
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 5: snaps under center if it doesn't work out with Austin Burton.

788
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 5: So a little bit of new musical chairs at quarterback

789
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 5: for Purdue. That doesn't sound good. You mentioned all the

790
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 5: top targets are gone, the ones you mentioned Charlie Jones

791
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 5: paying Dharam turning thirty one targets on the team. The

792
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 5: next tight end on the Deva he has eleven.

793
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 4: Yeah.

794
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 3: By the way, when Burton started against Fau, by the way,

795
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 3: it's a horrible defense, and they won twenty eight to

796
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:21,120
Speaker 3: twenty six at home, Charlie Jones had nine catches for

797
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 3: fifty nine yards and two touchdowns. Dorm had four catches.

798
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,280
Speaker 3: They had thirteen of the twenty two catches. They're both gone,

799
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 3: and he's gonna be missing one of the best offens

800
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 3: a linement and instead of playing Fau's defense, he's playing

801
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 3: all let's use defense.

802
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, And then when you go to the LSU

803
00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 5: offensive side of the ball, I'm not really sure it

804
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 5: matters if Jaden Daniels is fully healthier or not, because

805
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,320
Speaker 5: Garrett Neusmeyer loves to throw it into any situation possible,

806
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 5: doesn't care if it's dangerous or not so much. Brent

807
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 5: Farv in his arm there, but you know, both shouldn't

808
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 5: have issues against a perdue defense that was terrible in

809
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 5: passing downs eighty seventh and coverage one hundred and third

810
00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 5: and allowing explosives and standard downs which will get them

811
00:39:00,320 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 5: into passing downs real quick. You know, Kaishan Boody is

812
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:06,360
Speaker 5: going to return. I think Kashon Boody returning for LSU

813
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 5: just shows you the mindset that is coming to this

814
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 5: LSU team. Him sticking around for twenty twenty three, whether

815
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,280
Speaker 5: it's nil money or belief in the team or belief

816
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 5: in Brian Kelly. I think it's a huge statement that

817
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 5: Booty is going to stay there on the team. And

818
00:39:19,040 --> 00:39:21,839
Speaker 5: you know, and Brian Kelly mentioned that Purdue was in

819
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 5: and this I think is a great analogy. He said,

820
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,239
Speaker 5: Purdue is in the exact same boat that we were

821
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 5: in a year ago. Plenty of transition on the roster,

822
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 5: plenty of transition.

823
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:31,720
Speaker 6: With the coaches.

824
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:34,239
Speaker 5: We now he didn't say this, we all know what

825
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,279
Speaker 5: happened to LSU in the Bowl last year. Kansas State

826
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 5: ran them up a flagpole, right, and if Brian Kelly

827
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 5: is making that comparison, the exact same thing is happening here.

828
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 5: I think LSU first half is the play. There's too

829
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,800
Speaker 5: much athleticism, like Harold Perkins on the defensive side of

830
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 5: the ball. I would expect LSU to empty out the

831
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,959
Speaker 5: benches in the second half because Brian Kelly may want

832
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 5: film on these guys. He's still got evaluation due to

833
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 5: force guys get into the portal, you get some other

834
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 5: guys into the program. I think the second half is

835
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 5: going to be a crapshoot of lc leads by three scores.

836
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:06,879
Speaker 5: So I'll take an LCU first half play here.

837
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 3: Dombnd that at all. Yeah, I think it's all Tiger's here.

838
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,839
Speaker 3: All right, Let's move on to the granddaddy of them all,

839
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 3: the Rose Bowl on Monday, January second, five pm Eastern

840
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 3: on ESPN between Penn State and Utah Utah two two

841
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 3: and a half pint favorite over under fifty two and

842
00:40:23,680 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 3: a half. This game's obviously in Pasadena, California.

843
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 2: The Rose Bowl Game, the Royalty of College football, is

844
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 2: in assembly. The site for this ultimate showdown in college

845
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 2: football is one of fame, the ringers of sport, the

846
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 2: Rose Bowl. The weather is perfect, the field is fast.

847
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 2: At the Rose Bowl for Tonight's bowl game, where the

848
00:40:44,760 --> 00:40:47,720
Speaker 2: festival the postseason player was started more about one hundred

849
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 2: years ago.

850
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 3: You topped out, start at Dalton Kincaid, Start cornerback Clark Phillips,

851
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 3: Penn State their star cornerback Joey Porter junior, and then

852
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,319
Speaker 3: wide receiver Parker Washington, who was hurt. Uh is also

853
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:03,720
Speaker 3: up at out for the NFL Draft. Looks like everyone

854
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:06,239
Speaker 3: else is gonna go. Looks like both teams will care

855
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 3: Utah obviously in their first Rose Ball last year. You

856
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 3: can't just short against Ohio State. Location probably fan advantage here.

857
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 3: When I look at this game, I bet I bet Utah.

858
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:22,240
Speaker 3: And you know, it sucks that Phillips and Kincaid aren't playing,

859
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 3: which makes you like a little less. But when I

860
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:28,680
Speaker 3: this is what my handicap comes down to. These are

861
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 3: two teams that struggle to defend the run, and I

862
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 3: I trust Utah's rush offense to have much more success

863
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,800
Speaker 3: than Penn States. People said Penn States rush offense was

864
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 3: fixed but there were one hundredth in rush success rate

865
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 3: this year eighty fifth and epa per rush. Not a

866
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:55,320
Speaker 3: great rush offense, and these are two questionable run defenses.

867
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,879
Speaker 3: I'll but I'll take the Utah rush offensive ranks fifth

868
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 3: an opportunity rate against Penn State's one hundred and fourth.

869
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 3: That's the difference to me. I think Utah have more

870
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 3: success running the ball. I also like Whittingham in bowles.

871
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 3: He's been very successful. I think he is slightly better

872
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 3: coach than James Franklin. Motivation, I'm gonna say equal in

873
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 3: this game based on what everyone is doing. It does

874
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 3: suck to me that k Kadi Phillips are out. I

875
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 3: still think you saw fines away here. Are you gonna

876
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:27,480
Speaker 3: go against your utes?

877
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 6: I am, I am. I'm on Penn State all the

878
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:30,800
Speaker 6: way here. I actually can't wait.

879
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:35,160
Speaker 3: To be against here, but against your your son again.

880
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, don't tell Kyle Waitningham. I'm gonna be there to

881
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 5: interview him there at the Rose Bowl. So hopefully he

882
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 5: doesn't know that I've turned on the program.

883
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 3: But you know, I hope be telling him a DM.

884
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 5: So I think I look at this game coming down

885
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,560
Speaker 5: to a different position, and I think that's quarterback. And

886
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 5: when you look at Cam Rising, he's going up against

887
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,720
Speaker 5: a secondary and yes, I know, Jeffrey Davis, Joey.

888
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,839
Speaker 6: Porter Junior not going to be there, and Joey Porter

889
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 6: Junior is going to.

890
00:43:02,719 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 5: Take away a lot from that team, but the entire

891
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 5: secondary and linebackers led the nation. And passes defense, you

892
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 5: can't get anything in the air, and Cam Rising sometimes

893
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 5: has these games where he cannot keep himself from throwing

894
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,880
Speaker 5: interceptions in the end zone, and I would be you know,

895
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 5: Cam Rising, I'm just not sure. I think he's going

896
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 5: to try to fit things into holes that aren't there,

897
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 5: and the Penn State defense is going to be able

898
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 5: to keep him from getting downfield. And then when you

899
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,080
Speaker 5: flip to the other side of the ball. We've known

900
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 5: this for Sean Clifford forever. If you can generate a

901
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 5: pass rush, he gets in a hurry, he doesn't see

902
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 5: things clearly and he makes a ton of mistakes. Utah

903
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 5: is ninety seventh and pass rush they do not generate

904
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 5: pressure unless they bring extra defenders. They bring five, six,

905
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 5: seven guys, which is what they did to Caleb Williams. Sure,

906
00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 5: but they can't generate it. Just off of the down

907
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 5: three or down four lignemen that they have, and that's

908
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 5: going to open up things for Sean Clifford. Plus, he's

909
00:43:55,200 --> 00:43:58,719
Speaker 5: mobile should be fresh and healthy for this game. You know,

910
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 5: there's a massive difference also finishing drives here. I mean,

911
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 5: Penn State was one of the best in the nation

912
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:06,520
Speaker 5: with Mike Hearsitch. Utah fell to sixtieth in defensive finishing drives.

913
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,800
Speaker 5: They allow a lot of people to score touchdowns, and

914
00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 5: you know, there's just other things when it comes to

915
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 5: passing downs defense where Penn State definitely has the advantage here.

916
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 5: It's interesting you mentioned the rush to just to go

917
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 5: back and visit the rush real quick. Penn State has

918
00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 5: this really interesting dynamic. We've seen it with a couple

919
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 5: of teams in the past, where they're second in the

920
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 5: nation and defensive stuff rate, which means they can meet

921
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 5: you at the line of scrimmage. They're also eighty second

922
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 5: allowing rush explosiveness, so if they do not meet at

923
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage, Utah can bust long runs. I

924
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 5: do trust the Penn State defense and third downs. I

925
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,600
Speaker 5: do trust them in red zone, But to me, this

926
00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 5: comes down to quarterback execution. Cam Riising has a much

927
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,160
Speaker 5: tougher task versus Sean Clifford, who won't have any pressure,

928
00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 5: and that's when he does his best. So I'm on

929
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:49,799
Speaker 5: Penn State all the way here.

930
00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just don't. I think Utah is gonna be

931
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 3: able to bully Head State in the trenches. I do.

932
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,000
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be able to establish the run here.

933
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 3: Penn State can't run the I don't. People have been

934
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 3: saying all year that they can. It is and that's

935
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 3: how you attack Utah on the ground. Head State one

936
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 3: hundred and fourth an opportunity rate, one hundred and first

937
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 3: in power success rate this team, and look you go

938
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 3: to Utah's lineyards top five across the board, top five

939
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 3: opportunity rate. I think they're gonna be able to establish

940
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,799
Speaker 3: the ground game. That's what I want in a team

941
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,840
Speaker 3: in a bowl, and I'll take the better coach. And

942
00:45:27,239 --> 00:45:29,640
Speaker 3: I think you talk gets to Donels Kinkada Phillips are playing.

943
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 3: I would love it, but I still like it. But

944
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 3: we can battle in the final, well, the second final game.

945
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 3: It's the we sold the national championship. But in order

946
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 3: to get to the National Championship, we first have to

947
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 3: play the College Ball Playoff semi finals. So let's go

948
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 3: back to Saturday, and let's finally what it's it been

949
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 3: a month. This is why I want expansions.

950
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:50,920
Speaker 6: We don't.

951
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 3: I forget who's playing in the college ball plow. Let's

952
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 3: start with the Fiesta Bowl Saturday, New Year's Eve, December thirty, first,

953
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 3: four pm Eastern and ESPN Glendale, Arizona, TCU Michigan Wolverine

954
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 3: seven and a half point favorite here over under fifty.

955
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: Eight and a half the festival.

956
00:46:10,840 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 2: The Michigan football team is within sight of the summit

957
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 2: of their mountain. Their journey inspiration in part from those

958
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,520
Speaker 2: who have climbed the world's highest mountain.

959
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:24,359
Speaker 3: Fear the Frog. I got my purple on. I love TCU. Here,

960
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 3: do you want me to make my case? First? Your case?

961
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:29,000
Speaker 6: I've been waiting to hear this go ahead.

962
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 3: The first thing is I make this line around five

963
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,400
Speaker 3: to five and a half, and I was anti TCU

964
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 3: for a lot of the year. I think the Michigan

965
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 3: win over Ohio State, which I went back and watched

966
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 3: two times, is creating value in potentially both games. We'll

967
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 3: get to the second game late, but you know, Michigan

968
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 3: broke a couple of runs late. Other than that, they

969
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 3: couldn't run the ball all game. And then there was

970
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 3: two busted coverages. Basically had three hundred and fifty yards

971
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 3: on five plays. And you know Ohio State missed a

972
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 3: fake punt for a touchdown when they guy it was miscommunication.

973
00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,720
Speaker 3: That game was a lot closer than it appeared. Michigan

974
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 3: wasn't as impressive as I thought, But if you look

975
00:47:07,800 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 3: at the whole body of work for TCU, much more

976
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 3: impressive than Michigan. Strected record strength of schedule. This team

977
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 3: was tested week in and week out all year, whereas

978
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 3: Michigan when you have two or three tough games the

979
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 3: entire season. And one of the biggest things that why

980
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 3: I was fading TCU down the stretch is this team

981
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 3: didn't get a break. This team was no buys nine

982
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 3: straight ridiculous opponents. Michigan gets a buy every other week.

983
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:34,480
Speaker 3: They played the little Sisters, the poor than non conference

984
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 3: nobody in the country, any Bowl team is going to

985
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:42,799
Speaker 3: benefit from a long break more than TCU. Talk about

986
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 3: Max dug In, injuries, injuries across the board, just general

987
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 3: fatigue fast tracked by the way I think favors TCU.

988
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 3: I think TCU has better coordinators. I think Doug it'll

989
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 3: be unleashed with his running ability here. But when you

990
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 3: look at this from a matchup point of view, TCU

991
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 3: go back to the Texas game. I mean, so this

992
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:03,479
Speaker 3: will be the best the best corners Michigan has faced

993
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,919
Speaker 3: all year. That was the weakness of Ohio State still

994
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,080
Speaker 3: is their corners on the outside. We'll get to that

995
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 3: game next, but these are the best corners besides Illinois.

996
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 3: And Illinois shut down Michigan and should have won that

997
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 3: game if they called the OFFENSI pass interference and we

998
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:17,959
Speaker 3: probably wouldn't be talking about Michigan out because they would

999
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 3: have lost to Illinois. But you know, these the corners, Howes, Tomlinson,

1000
00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 3: and Newton are fantastic on the outside. They can man

1001
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 3: up Michigan And then what what is t you're gonna

1002
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 3: have to do. They're gonna have to load the box.

1003
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 3: They're gonna come with run, blitzes and stunts. They're gonna

1004
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 3: have to treat in this Michigan offense just like they

1005
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 3: did b John Robinson, and they're gonna have to say

1006
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 3: to JJ McCarthy, beat as deep just like they did

1007
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 3: Quin yours quin yours couldn't do it. We'll see if

1008
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,399
Speaker 3: McCarthy can against the best corners he will face all year.

1009
00:48:45,440 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 3: And if you you know, there was a couple of

1010
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 3: bus to places against a lot of state But for

1011
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 3: the most part McCarthy was very inconsistent all year. These

1012
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 3: receivers haven't been able to get separation. He hasn't been

1013
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,960
Speaker 3: able to hit them deep consistently. And I think this

1014
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 3: TCU offense on this fast can hit enough explosive plays.

1015
00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 3: I think Dougan gets unleashed here running the ball. And

1016
00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:08,359
Speaker 3: who what mobile quarterbacks in the Michigan faced this year

1017
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 3: one Sewan Clifford, who ran I think for eighty yards

1018
00:49:12,400 --> 00:49:14,800
Speaker 3: on seven carries and at a sixty yard touchdown. I

1019
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 3: think douglaf success there. And I think this TCU team

1020
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 3: is undervalued. I also just love these coordinators and give

1021
00:49:25,040 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 3: them a month to prepare. No one's given them a shot.

1022
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 3: I love the horn Frogs. I think they went out right.

1023
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 5: Yeah I disagree. Listen, Sunny Dyke's to run the air raid.

1024
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 5: You know, to run the air raid you have to

1025
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 5: have deep vertical shots with your wide receivers and if

1026
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 5: you have a light box you run the ball, and

1027
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,240
Speaker 5: that's been the bread and butter all year. Max Duggan

1028
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 5: will take off. If there's a light box, then he's

1029
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 5: got Quentin Johnson and Tay Barbara, two of the most

1030
00:49:56,080 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 5: explosive targets in all of college football, lining up a

1031
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 5: white out and slot and you know Kendre Miller and

1032
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:04,279
Speaker 5: Amri d mccardo along with Doug and running the ball.

1033
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 5: I mean, they've had seventy runs that go over ten yards,

1034
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 5: lots of first downs here. The mistakes are missing from

1035
00:50:10,200 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 5: Doug in this season thirty eight fumbles and interceptions entering

1036
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:17,040
Speaker 5: in his career entering into this season, He's had just

1037
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 5: six total this year, So, I mean, it's really been impressive.

1038
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 5: I'm not going to downsize what TCU has been able

1039
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 5: to do, but this team is not consistent in putting

1040
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 5: together extended drives whatsoever. They're fifty first and standard down

1041
00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 5: success right, they're fifty third and passing down success rate.

1042
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 5: They don't get as many first downs I believe they're

1043
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,040
Speaker 5: forty first in the nation and first downs per game,

1044
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:39,439
Speaker 5: so they have to rely on explosive plays to get

1045
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 5: points up on the board. They don't want to get

1046
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 5: into the red zone. TCU's eightieth and red zone efficiency,

1047
00:50:44,520 --> 00:50:48,640
Speaker 5: meaning explosive plays are the avenue to TCU scoring points.

1048
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 5: So let's flip over to the Michigan defense sixteenth in

1049
00:50:51,680 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 5: defensive expected points against the rush.

1050
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:55,720
Speaker 6: And the pass. That's great.

1051
00:50:55,880 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 5: Michigan is third nationally and allowing opponent long runs. And

1052
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:02,840
Speaker 5: I think what that tells me is the defensive coordinator

1053
00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 5: jesse Minter is going to disguise the number of players

1054
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 5: he has in the tackle box. He's going to use

1055
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 5: aggressive blitz. He's going to go one on one man coverage.

1056
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 5: He's going to flip his zone, he's going to play quarters.

1057
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 5: He's going to change up everything he's doing on each down.

1058
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:19,359
Speaker 5: And that's going to be an attempt to confuse Max

1059
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 5: Duggan into running the ball when there's actually more people

1060
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 5: in the box or passing the ball, like flashing one

1061
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,440
Speaker 5: single high safety versus two in a shell. Like I

1062
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 5: just think, you know, defensive coordinator jesse Minter has just

1063
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:35,239
Speaker 5: put together masterpieces and he could change on the fly,

1064
00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:37,600
Speaker 5: and I think that's a huge difference here in kind

1065
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:40,880
Speaker 5: of stopping this TCU offense. But really Michigan's ability to

1066
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,080
Speaker 5: stop the exposed to play is kind of what settled

1067
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 5: it for me. Go to the other side of the

1068
00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 5: ball stuck. I mean tc runs the three three five stack.

1069
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 5: Joseph Gillespie likes to mix in stunts slants. But you're

1070
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 5: doing this against what I think is the best offensive

1071
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,120
Speaker 5: line in college football. All five of these guys have

1072
00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 5: the capability of pulling in any kind of formation and

1073
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,360
Speaker 5: really running reverse and counters and confusing defenses. And TCU

1074
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 5: has been heard by offenses that use motion and reverse

1075
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,200
Speaker 5: en counterplays that is a It's not a good formula

1076
00:52:13,239 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 5: for the TCU defense because they've been burned by these

1077
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 5: kinds of offensive lines that are really good in misdirection.

1078
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 5: And the pace of how often Michigan's scores completely depends

1079
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 5: on if the TCU safeties are going to move in

1080
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 5: and try to help against Donovan Edwards, or whether jjmccar

1081
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 5: and George J. McCarthy's going to keep it on the ground,

1082
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:31,439
Speaker 5: or if they are going to stay back and allow

1083
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:33,920
Speaker 5: JJ McCarthy to hit crossers across the middle against a

1084
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 5: lighter box. So the Michigan pace of scoring is going

1085
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 5: to be determined by what the defense does. If they're

1086
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 5: playing close or if they're playing back. But you know,

1087
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:45,040
Speaker 5: considering these teams are the same strength of schedule, same

1088
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:48,120
Speaker 5: strength of record, Michigan is the better team third downs

1089
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 5: success rate, special teams. But more importantly, TCU can only

1090
00:52:52,480 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 5: score on teams that allow explosive plays, and Michigan just

1091
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 5: doesn't do it. So I'm all in on Michigan here.

1092
00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 5: I grabbed the seven, bought it minus one twenty. I

1093
00:53:01,960 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 5: would only play it at that.

1094
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 6: This is a game.

1095
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,959
Speaker 5: I do make it six and a half. But listen,

1096
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 5: TCU has been funn all year. They've relied on the

1097
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:11,919
Speaker 5: explosive play way too much. And when you are betting

1098
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 5: on teams that rely on the explosive play, you're essentially

1099
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,240
Speaker 5: sitting at the craft's table and throwing a couple numbers

1100
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:18,200
Speaker 5: down and hoping that it hits. I mean, it is

1101
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 5: not a sustainable model. And I'm not trying to play

1102
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 5: all like I bet on tc the entire season now,

1103
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 5: jumping off, I'm just saying I've seen this team as

1104
00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 5: much as anybody, and you know, Michigan stops the exposed

1105
00:53:28,480 --> 00:53:30,400
Speaker 5: to play and that takes away TCU's biggest weapon.

1106
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,759
Speaker 3: I actually think tc look and I think Dugan's running

1107
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:36,399
Speaker 3: a building. Now that these healthy is going to be huge,

1108
00:53:36,400 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 3: and that was the key against I think Kansas State

1109
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 3: they were how they almost won that game that he

1110
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 3: ran for one hundred fifty yards. I think he'll be

1111
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,880
Speaker 3: unleashed there. And by the way, strength is schedule, it

1112
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,840
Speaker 3: is not even close. Michigan's I think sixtieth in the country.

1113
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 3: TCUs is top fifteen. Michigan's defensive metrics better be elite.

1114
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,440
Speaker 3: They played nobody all year. I mean, this is a

1115
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 3: team that played Colorado State, Hawaii, Yukon, Iowa might be

1116
00:54:02,360 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 3: the worst offense. They faced Indiana, Michigan State, Rutgers, Nebraska

1117
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:13,280
Speaker 3: with Chubba Purdy, Illinois Perdue put up five hundred yards.

1118
00:54:13,320 --> 00:54:15,440
Speaker 3: I mean, how could Purdue put up five hundred ards

1119
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:19,399
Speaker 3: against the Ohio State was a good win. Maryland put

1120
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 3: out twenty seven and four hundred yards, and then you

1121
00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 3: know Penn State they dominate. I mean, this is a

1122
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,920
Speaker 3: team that had ten cakewalks basically from an offensive standpoint

1123
00:54:27,960 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 3: of who they faced, and we're I will make I

1124
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,560
Speaker 3: think Michigan's going to have success running the ball, of course,

1125
00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 3: but I also think that TC is gonna have a

1126
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 3: really good game plan and sell out against it, just

1127
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,280
Speaker 3: like they did against Texas. They held b Jhon Robinson

1128
00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 3: and a really good Texas offensive line to what B

1129
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:44,000
Speaker 3: John ms A thirty yards? And I'll take b Jon

1130
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 3: Robinson ever Donovan Edwards any day of the week. And

1131
00:54:47,280 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 3: you know, I just don't know. Have Blake Korn here.

1132
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 3: And if you look at JJ McCarthy, look if he

1133
00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 3: comes out and slings and hits explosive passes against TCU,

1134
00:54:55,600 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 3: if they're gonna make him do that, fine, I will say, great, congrats.

1135
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 3: He deserved to win. But this is a guy that

1136
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 3: was very inconsistent all year against Nebraska was eight of

1137
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 3: seventeen for one hundred and twenty yards. People forget this,

1138
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,160
Speaker 3: Rutgers thirteen to twenty eight, one hundred and fifty yards,

1139
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:17,560
Speaker 3: very inconsistent all year. Receivers struggled to get separation, and

1140
00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 3: these will be the best corners they face. So you

1141
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 3: can man up on the outside, sell up against the run,

1142
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:24,839
Speaker 3: and say, McCarthy beat me. That was the exact game

1143
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,919
Speaker 3: plan against Texas and Quinn yours who couldn't be beat

1144
00:55:28,960 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 3: them deep, who couldn't hit the deep pass. I think

1145
00:55:31,719 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 3: that's the game plan here, and I think TCU on offense,

1146
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 3: they have enough talent here with their NFL receivers, one

1147
00:55:38,480 --> 00:55:40,320
Speaker 3: of the most underrated bats in the country, and a

1148
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,799
Speaker 3: mobile quarterback. I love the coordinators, I love the prep.

1149
00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:46,239
Speaker 3: No one's giving TCU a chance here. I think they

1150
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 3: are much more battle tested than Michigan. I'm buying TCU.

1151
00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:51,799
Speaker 3: I can't wait for this game.

1152
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 5: Minute that Michigan was playing possim all year. I mean,

1153
00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:57,600
Speaker 5: I keep going back to how they refuse to pass

1154
00:55:57,640 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 5: against Illinois, and then they showed up next week and

1155
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,000
Speaker 5: just blew a Hio State out of the water with deep,

1156
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:04,759
Speaker 5: explosive plays at Cornelius Johnson and he every thought that

1157
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 5: maybe they've been playing possum the entire year.

1158
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, but against Purdue, yeah, a game they

1159
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 3: probably had a win. I mean that game was in

1160
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,479
Speaker 3: jeopardy till the end and they go five hundred yards.

1161
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 3: But yeah, but I mean, but McCarthy when he went

1162
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,320
Speaker 3: to when he tried to throw, he couldn't hit receivers

1163
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 3: and they couldn't get open and there was drops like

1164
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 3: this is an issue for Michigan. And if you look

1165
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 3: at that Ohio State game, it was five plays there

1166
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,560
Speaker 3: was two broken runs when Ohio State was playing Cover

1167
00:56:32,760 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 3: zero and there was an eighty yard and eighty yard

1168
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:38,120
Speaker 3: touchdown run. That was it. Before then, Michigan averaged three

1169
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 3: yards per play. And then there was two broken coverages.

1170
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:42,879
Speaker 3: One there was a bust of coverage and the other

1171
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 3: there was a mistackle that went deep that was that

1172
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 3: was it. I mean, you take away that Michigan average.

1173
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 3: I think three point one yards were played if you

1174
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:52,240
Speaker 3: take away those five plays.

1175
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 6: So I don't know.

1176
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna make McCarthy prove it to me if they

1177
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 3: were playing possum and then just come out here and dominate.

1178
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 3: But there's there's been cracks in Michigan at times. You

1179
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 3: go back to that Illinois game, you go back to

1180
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:07,520
Speaker 3: that Maryland game, and then there's just eight or nine

1181
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:11,399
Speaker 3: games where they were playing nobody's I know what I'm

1182
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 3: gonna get from TCU. The defense isn't gonna be e leade,

1183
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 3: it's gonna be great, but they're gonna have great game plans.

1184
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 3: And this is a team that was battle tested do

1185
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 3: basically for ten weeks in a row, and I think

1186
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 3: this break is massive for them, Like they just to

1187
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 3: heal like for and then also just take a breath.

1188
00:57:28,960 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 3: They were they this is a team. That's why I

1189
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 3: was we were fading them down the stretch. Right, there

1190
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,440
Speaker 3: was nine weeks in a row. This team is playing

1191
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:37,320
Speaker 3: ranked team, ranked team, ranked team, ranked team without a break.

1192
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 3: I mean, Michigan gets to play you know, you get

1193
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 3: breaks all the time. You get to play Rutgers, and

1194
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 3: you know, Nebraska's backups and Indiana. So like, I think

1195
00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 3: TC is gonna benefit so much from this break, and

1196
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 3: I really respect I think they're the best coordinators combined

1197
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:58,360
Speaker 3: offensive and defensive in college football, and I think that

1198
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 3: is what's gonna pay off with a month break. So

1199
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 3: I'll glad they take anything over seven. And I think

1200
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,480
Speaker 3: TC wan's out right. We'll have to have a side

1201
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:07,080
Speaker 3: bet on this one.

1202
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 5: Well, we'll be in I think we'll be in Vegas.

1203
00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 5: You and I are going to share a night in

1204
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 5: Vegas before the national title game. I think the other

1205
00:58:14,480 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 5: one picks up dinner. We'll make the line officially seven

1206
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 5: and a half. I'll give you seven and a half,

1207
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 5: all right, fair enough, all right?

00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 3: on to the second semi final game. Let's go to

1240
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 3: the Peach Bowl Saturday night, Ohio State, Georgia, Georgia six

1241
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 3: and a half point favoritear of under sixty two. This

1242
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,400
Speaker 3: game will we played in New Year's Eve, APM Eastern ESPN, Atlanta, Georgia.

1243
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 2: The Peach Bowl those are the Ohio State Buck guys

1244
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 2: knocking on the front door, and they come in with

1245
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 2: the world have incented as they pondered their plight and

1246
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:26,520
Speaker 2: their way through the season, and so far, so good,

1247
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 2: and right now the Bucks played they can play with anybody. Well,

1248
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 2: we are about to find out.

1249
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,680
Speaker 3: It's be a third game that Georgia gets to play

1250
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 3: in this stadium. They played Oregon open the season, and

1251
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 3: then of course the SEC Championship and now the Collegewall

1252
01:00:44,520 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 3: Playoffs semi final. I'll let you go first in this

1253
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if we're going to dis I don't

1254
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 3: even know what you like in this game. Make your

1255
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 3: case for your favorite vet or what you see just

1256
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 3: from a matchup perspective in this game.

1257
01:00:56,360 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 5: So Ryan Day has heard for a month that he's conservative,

1258
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 5: he can't coach in the game. He's heard about how

1259
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 5: bad he coached in the Michigan game, and the offensive

1260
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:09,320
Speaker 5: play calling here should be ultra aggressive. I know he

1261
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:11,760
Speaker 5: came out against that Notre Dame team in week one

1262
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 5: and said, we need to be more blue collar, we

1263
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 5: need to run the ball, we need to show we

1264
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,600
Speaker 5: can run the ball. Well, I mean, you're you're completely

1265
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 5: depleted in the running back room. You're down to mine Williams.

1266
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 5: We don't know if he's exactly healthy or not so.

1267
01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,000
Speaker 5: And plus, when you're going to face a Georgia defense,

1268
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,200
Speaker 5: not just this year, but any year, you cannot beat

1269
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 5: them in a phone booth. They want to punch you

1270
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 5: in the face and grind you down. The best way

1271
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 5: to be Georgia Tennessee tried to do it. You have

1272
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 5: to spread it out as far wide as possible, and

1273
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 5: you have to try to, you know, get them all

1274
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:42,760
Speaker 5: out in space.

1275
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,120
Speaker 6: Tennessee. I keep going back to that game.

1276
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 5: I mean field conditions, the rain, like they had a chance,

1277
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 5: they had a drive to cover the spread at the

1278
01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,120
Speaker 5: end there, and you have to think after a couple

1279
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 5: of mistakes, you know, I remember we went back and

1280
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 5: we said this, like they got behind the Georgia defense

1281
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 5: three times, three times they had drops or just miscues,

1282
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 5: like it was there for Tennessee to not just cover

1283
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 5: that game, but possibly win. So you got to think,

1284
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 5: Ohio State can't run the ball. We don't know how

1285
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 5: healthy Mayan Williams is. The offensive line may may be

1286
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 5: able to, but why would you run into the teeth

1287
01:02:15,600 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 5: of his defense on the defensive line. Everything to me

1288
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 5: points to CJ. Stroud throwing to his favorite.

1289
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 6: Zone on the field, which is beyond twenty yards and

1290
01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 6: within the hash marks. That is where c J.

1291
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 5: Stroud has just been able to cook this season. Passes

1292
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 5: over twenty plus yards this year twenty one big time,

1293
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 5: throws five turnover worthy plays, and like I said, his

1294
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 5: best zone.

1295
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 6: Is the deep one in the middle.

1296
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:41,200
Speaker 5: Both defenses run heavy zone coverage concepts. They run man

1297
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,920
Speaker 5: about just thirty percent of the time. And the best

1298
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,840
Speaker 5: ride receivers in this game Marvin Harrison three yards per

1299
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 5: route run, Mecca Agbuca even three and a half yards

1300
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 5: per route run when they face zone coverage. And you know,

1301
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 5: I think the one name that we haven't mentioned a

1302
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 5: lot because he's had intermittent playing time is Jaden Ballard.

1303
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,600
Speaker 5: He's had limited ash in the season, but he has

1304
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 5: the burners to get behind any defense here. The only

1305
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:06,720
Speaker 5: way that I think Ohio State is going to have

1306
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,200
Speaker 5: success getting points up on the board is to be

1307
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 5: completely aggressive from the very first snap and letting CJ.

1308
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 6: Stroud go deep.

1309
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 5: Now, the book out on CJ. Stroud, and we've talked

1310
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 5: about it all year. He has been horrific with pressure

1311
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 5: in his face. I mean sixty four pressure dropbacks. He's

1312
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 5: had three big time throws and seven turnoverworthy plays. He

1313
01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:30,280
Speaker 5: takes a thirty percent drop and adjust a completion percentage

1314
01:03:30,320 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 5: when he does have pressure on him. So the question

1315
01:03:33,520 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 5: is is will Georgia continue to run just a three

1316
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 5: to four man front and try to get pressure with

1317
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:41,680
Speaker 5: that and send everybody else back, which is what they've done.

1318
01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:44,120
Speaker 5: I mean, you're going to see Georgia doesn't have any

1319
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 5: kind of pass rush whatsoever.

1320
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 6: That's by design. They don't like to send a lot

1321
01:03:47,880 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 6: of guys.

1322
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:51,080
Speaker 5: They would rather sit back, play quarters coverage, you know,

1323
01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 5: kind of confuse the quarterback, you know, after the snap,

1324
01:03:54,320 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 5: and then they kind of show if they're playing manner

1325
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 5: zone after that. But the only way Ohio State is

1326
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 5: scoring points here is if they get aggressive and they

1327
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 5: go downfield. And considering Ryan Day has to hear this

1328
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,720
Speaker 5: every single day for six weeks, I think that's exactly

1329
01:04:06,800 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 5: what we're going to see, and there's been success.

1330
01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 6: Tennessee can do it? Ohow say can do it? Now?

1331
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 6: You go to the other side of the ball with Georgia.

1332
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,160
Speaker 5: There's so many offensive advantages here against Ohio State has

1333
01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 5: been poor at stopping the explosive play one hundred and

1334
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:23,120
Speaker 5: twenty fifth and giving up explosives and passing downs. So

1335
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 5: good job if you stop Georgia on first or second down,

1336
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 5: But then you've got a serious problem about what you

1337
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 5: give up on the back end, and it doesn't help

1338
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,880
Speaker 5: playing cover zero against Michigan and not having anybody there

1339
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 5: at the second level.

1340
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,160
Speaker 6: Maybe that'll change, Maybe.

1341
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:38,160
Speaker 5: Jim Knowles will keep two safeties back, but then again

1342
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 5: you're allowing stets had been it and the tight ends,

1343
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:43,560
Speaker 5: and you're allowing everybody to work at the line of scrimmage,

1344
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 5: which Georgia can win there too. You know, in Ohio

1345
01:04:46,240 --> 01:04:49,400
Speaker 5: State's one hundred and twenty first and defensive red zone efficiency,

1346
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 5: I didn't know it was that bad. I had no

1347
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,920
Speaker 5: clue that were bottom ten and red zone efficiency on defense.

1348
01:04:54,360 --> 01:04:58,440
Speaker 5: So looking at all this, Georgia will have no resistance

1349
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 5: with whatever they decide to do. It doesn't look by

1350
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 5: Georgia is gonna send pressure because they never do, which

1351
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 5: allows CJ. Stroud to throw to his favorite spot, which

1352
01:05:05,320 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 5: is behind the defense. I see points galore here. I

1353
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:10,800
Speaker 5: would play it up to. The key number is sixty five,

1354
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,760
Speaker 5: I think what sixty two and a half sixty three

1355
01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 5: in the market.

1356
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 6: I love the over here.

1357
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't disagree in the over I actually like

1358
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 3: Ohio State. After digging into it, I think again that

1359
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 3: Michigan Ohio State game is creating value in this number,

1360
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 3: which I think should be close to to three and

1361
01:05:25,720 --> 01:05:30,160
Speaker 3: a half or four. And like so when I look

1362
01:05:30,200 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 3: at this from a matchup point of view, and by

1363
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 3: the way, Ohio State was dealing with injuries on the

1364
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball all year, so I think

1365
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:37,439
Speaker 3: this month and when they played Michigan, look Cam Brown.

1366
01:05:38,120 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 3: Their corner went out in the first half. They were

1367
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 3: down to like their fourth string running back. And like

1368
01:05:43,880 --> 01:05:45,640
Speaker 3: I said, it was like four or five explosive plays

1369
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 3: which matter, and they've been bad at defending them. But

1370
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 3: I think that they on the defensive side of the ball.

1371
01:05:51,960 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 3: I think what Knowles does in how he's aggressive and

1372
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:58,360
Speaker 3: how he dictates with his stunts and his prestat movement,

1373
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:00,440
Speaker 3: not letting Georgia dictate, which is what they do. I

1374
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 3: mean Georgia, they use their tight ends brilliantly. Brock Bowers

1375
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:07,840
Speaker 3: in Washington. I mean they can block. I think you

1376
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,120
Speaker 3: can throw them a ball. The hours can take the

1377
01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 3: ball to the end around and now, and he's huge

1378
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 3: and can still outrun everybody. They're amazing. I mean, they

1379
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 3: run twelve personnel, the third highest rate in the country.

1380
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:22,320
Speaker 3: But I think what what Ohio State's gonna do here

1381
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 3: is they're gonna put Hickman and Ransom on both of

1382
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 3: the tight ends, basically manned a man, and they're gonna

1383
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 3: have McCallister played free safety. That's what they did against

1384
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 3: Notre Dame when they held Michael Meyer and the other

1385
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 3: tight end in check to Both of these guys are

1386
01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 3: very physical, elite in coverage. They are the strength of

1387
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 3: Ohio State secondary. They are still weak on the outside

1388
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 3: at corner you know Denzel Burke, Cam Brown, but that's

1389
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 3: not really the strength of Georgia's team as they're outside receivers.

1390
01:06:49,800 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 3: So I think it's look and Ohio State run defense

1391
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 3: two broken runs late against Michigan when they were selling out,

1392
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 3: has been an outstanding all season long. They also can

1393
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,840
Speaker 3: They can really generate pressure with Jtt and company and

1394
01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:06,880
Speaker 3: Harrison off the edge. Their run defense has been good

1395
01:07:06,880 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 3: all year. I think their run defense will hang here,

1396
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 3: and their red zone d has been bad Georgia's red zone.

1397
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 3: Oh that's been the biggest question. But I think they

1398
01:07:13,720 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 3: can actually match up with the Titans scheme wise. I

1399
01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:21,240
Speaker 3: think they can cause some trouble for Georgia and this

1400
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,880
Speaker 3: will be the best Ohio State has issues of defense,

1401
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:26,480
Speaker 3: but this is the best defense that George's faced all year.

1402
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:30,440
Speaker 3: If you look, I mean, like Kentucky pretty similar. I mean,

1403
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 3: I'm talking talent wise for Ohio State. And I think

1404
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 3: that a month off can really help Ohio State's defense

1405
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 3: because it's a first time coordinator. So Nole's getting all

1406
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 3: this time off plus an extra week I think can

1407
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:45,800
Speaker 3: really benefit Ohio State here because he basically is installing

1408
01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 3: the system. It's a first year defensive coordinator, So I

1409
01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 3: think that side of the ball will have the biggest

1410
01:07:50,760 --> 01:07:53,040
Speaker 3: benefit from the time all. On the other side, you

1411
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,480
Speaker 3: mentioned it, I think that how you attack this Georgia

1412
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 3: team is you have to hit deep shots on the outside,

1413
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:00,960
Speaker 3: which Ohio State is certainly capable of doing. Then you

1414
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 3: have to, you know, you open up that defense, you

1415
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 3: make them go too high safeties, and then you attack

1416
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 3: over the middle of the field, which is where Stroud

1417
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 3: has excelled.

1418
01:08:09,480 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 6: All year long.

1419
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 3: So I think Ohaw State will be able to have

1420
01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:16,719
Speaker 3: success here on offense enough on defense to keep this close.

1421
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:18,960
Speaker 3: Georgia is gonna get their points sets in ben It's

1422
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 3: been awesome this year, but I think it's actually a

1423
01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 3: decent match prose and I also think Georgia and I

1424
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 3: think this is true for Michigan and Georgia. I think

1425
01:08:28,439 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 3: both of these teams would rather play these games outdoors

1426
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:36,240
Speaker 3: in winter weather. I think the fast track benefits TCU

1427
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 3: and Ohio State in both of these matchups. So I

1428
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,200
Speaker 3: think the Ohio State speed, just like the TCU speed,

1429
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 3: can have some success here. I think this line's too

1430
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 3: I I'm waiting for seven. I would even buy maybe

1431
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 3: seven minus one, fifteen, maybe a little more. If it

1432
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 3: never pops, we'll see. I think the whole world's gonna

1433
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 3: be in Georgia. I think that we'll eventually get a seven,

1434
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 3: and I'm buying Ohio State. There my hot take on

1435
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 3: both of these college football And by the way, you

1436
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,560
Speaker 3: have two good kickers in this game, but maybe the

1437
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:08,720
Speaker 3: familiarity for Georgia's kicker is the difference. I'm gonna say.

1438
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,640
Speaker 3: I'm going to say both we've had disappointing semifinals in

1439
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,280
Speaker 3: the vast I'm going to say both of these games

1440
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:19,640
Speaker 3: are really good, and I think both I'll go on

1441
01:09:19,720 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 3: hot take it. Both games are decided by a field goal.

1442
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 5: I think what's interesting is when you say semifinals have

1443
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 5: been disappointing. I think the spread has played a role

1444
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 5: twice in the history of the college football playoffs and

1445
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 5: the semi finals. So like, if you if you play

1446
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,719
Speaker 5: Ohio State, of course grab the seven, but you should

1447
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 5: play some money line. If you like Michigan, don't tease

1448
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:44,320
Speaker 5: it down to zero. If you like TCU, play some

1449
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 5: money line. I mean the spread has been such a

1450
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 5: non factor in semi finals.

1451
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:49,679
Speaker 3: Yep, yeah, I don't.

1452
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:50,479
Speaker 6: I don't mind.

1453
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 3: You're over lean that way as well. Might play some

1454
01:09:53,240 --> 01:10:01,520
Speaker 3: there and from a yeah, just from a a matchup perspective,

1455
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 3: And then I also think I agree. I think Day's

1456
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 3: going to be super aggressive, which is good here, and

1457
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,760
Speaker 3: Ohio State can go in here playing loose. They have

1458
01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,639
Speaker 3: no pressure on them, nothing to lose, which I think

1459
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,639
Speaker 3: benefits them in a high pressure game like this. Georgie

1460
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:19,600
Speaker 3: is gonna be ready. I think that Georgia pulls this

1461
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 3: out by a field goal. That's my prediction. But I'm

1462
01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:26,759
Speaker 3: happily taking the seven if it gets there. If it doesn't,

1463
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 3: I'll six and a half or if I can buy

1464
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:30,200
Speaker 3: a cheap seven. But I like Ohio State here. Think

1465
01:10:30,240 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 3: the lines inflated because of what everyone saw in that

1466
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:37,240
Speaker 3: Ohio State Michigan game. So I think the final squoz

1467
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:37,720
Speaker 3: have been this lead.

1468
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 5: Who again, I'm completely with you on Ohio State. I'll

1469
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 5: buy it at seven. Also, there's some soft shops out

1470
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:42,880
Speaker 5: there that are sitting on it.

1471
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 2: Now.

1472
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,760
Speaker 5: If you want to hit your you want to hit

1473
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:47,680
Speaker 5: the maximumit bet there at a couple of times. But

1474
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 5: I just for the pure entertainment of Ohio State and

1475
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:53,720
Speaker 5: Michigan meeting in the National Championship Game, so far, a

1476
01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:55,880
Speaker 5: seat in SOFI is going to run like ten thousand dollars.

1477
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 5: I mean, it's going to be the most ridiculous. If

1478
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 5: that's what happens, college footballs gonna get a treat.

1479
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, I mean Georgia Michigan too would be.

1480
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:07,879
Speaker 6: At the rematch.

1481
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 5: And when I said it's funny, as I said that

1482
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 5: Ohio State does not want to play Georgia in a

1483
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,439
Speaker 5: phone booth, you want to talk about two phone booth teams,

1484
01:11:14,479 --> 01:11:17,400
Speaker 5: we get a Michigan Georgia National Championship game, just as

1485
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:18,320
Speaker 5: we got outdoors.

1486
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,720
Speaker 3: All right for you out of here, one final order

1487
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,080
Speaker 3: of business and by the way, big bets on campus

1488
01:11:25,200 --> 01:11:30,760
Speaker 3: Live Saturday morning, we will have our final show of

1489
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,519
Speaker 3: this Seaton actually might have a national champions but probably not,

1490
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 3: I don't know, but just regardless, well of a show

1491
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 3: on Saturday morning going over the Collge football playoff and

1492
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:42,760
Speaker 3: the rest of the balls. But let's uh, let's give

1493
01:11:42,760 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 3: out our best bets from dispatch of boles nine bowls.

1494
01:11:46,040 --> 01:11:48,880
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go. I mean I can't. I can't go

1495
01:11:48,920 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 3: another way than tou lane. I have to go too

1496
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:54,120
Speaker 3: lane here, my motivation monster coming in. I think they're

1497
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 3: gonna be a run all over USC. You see missing

1498
01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 3: some key offensive linemen, turnover regression looms, Green Wave cover again, Rollwave.

1499
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 3: Let's go. Be's bet for you.

1500
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:07,400
Speaker 5: It's a tie between two of them, either the LSU

1501
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 5: first half or I'm gonna go with Penn State. I

1502
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 5: love Penn State. Here, I'll take the points of two

1503
01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 5: and a half. I would take a money line in

1504
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 5: the Rose Bowl again. I think this comes down to

1505
01:12:15,600 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 5: quarterback execution, Cam Rising and missing Dalton Kincaid. He has

1506
01:12:19,160 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 5: been the cornerstone of that offense. And you know, everything

1507
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:25,559
Speaker 5: that Utah runs is in twelve, thirteen, fourteen packages where

1508
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 5: they rely on tight ends and now they're not going

1509
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:29,120
Speaker 5: to have that. And Cam Rising in these big games

1510
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 5: has been turnover prone against USC, against Florida, and then

1511
01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 5: when you turn over to you know the Penn State

1512
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 5: side they are They've been a lead on defense, especially

1513
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 5: in knocking passes down. They're the best in the nation.

1514
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 5: But really, the key to Sean Clifford his entire career

1515
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 5: has been if he has doesn't have pressure on him,

1516
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 5: he's able to execute. Utah does not get pressure on

1517
01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 5: quarterbacks whatsoever unless they bring extra defenders, and if they

1518
01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 5: bring six or seven, Sean Clifford should be able to

1519
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 5: sniff that out and get the ball off. So I

1520
01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:59,760
Speaker 5: like Penn State here in the Rose Bowl sending Utah

1521
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 5: to the second straight consecutive loss in the Rose.

1522
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:07,439
Speaker 3: Bawl, going against all your children this podcast TCU and Utah.

1523
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 3: But yeah, we'll play for dinner and TCU Michigan looking

1524
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 3: forward to some battles we agree on some others. Let's

1525
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 3: close the Bowl season strong. As I mentioned before, one
