20
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 7: it is.

21
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,839

00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 3: Yes, got the.

24
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,199
Speaker 9: I know it's crazy, yeah yeah.

25
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 5: Week one unbelievable.

26
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: You know.

27
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 6: Let's start off on a good foot here or a

28
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 6: bad foot, It depends on which side you were on,

29
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 6: but shout out to Elon, who was a twenty four

30
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 6: and a half point underdog. Yeah, and with fourteen seconds

31
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 6: to go, they kicked a field goal and ended up

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 6: losing the game twenty six to three. So of course

33
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 6: they were avoiding the shutout, but they also in the

34
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 6: process covered the spread with a field goal with fourteen

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 6: seconds to play there. So yeah, if you were on

36
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 6: Duke against an FCS team, that's, uh, that's too bad

37
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 6: right there.

38
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 3: That's rough.

39
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 6: But if you're on Elon, hey, baby, let's call that

40
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 6: the cover play. That's exactly right. They have the cover

41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 6: play in football as well. How about this, what are

42
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 6: you guys most looking forward to? Like me, I'm a

43
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 6: Notre Dame honk.

44
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: You know that.

45
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 6: You guys are Penn State honks. We all know that.

46
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 6: Like put your rooting allegiance to the side. Okay, because

47
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 6: that's obvious. What you're most looking forward to? Rooting allegiance

48
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 6: to the side. Which game has circled the most here?

49
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you what I was thinking about was

50
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 7: Alabama with Calin de Boor and I know they're playing

51
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 7: again against Western Kentucky. I want to see what a

52
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 7: Nick sabanless Crimson Tide team looks like we haven't experienced

53
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 7: that in most of my life, you know, if I

54
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 7: think about it, like I'm I'm nearing forty and most

55
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 7: of my time caring about playing college football or observing it.

56
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:56,519
Speaker 7: Nick Saban has been synonymous with that program, so very

57
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 7: curious just to see what that looks like. I think

58
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 7: Notre Dame actually, you know, you know, not to not

59
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 7: to be you know, scoot over to your side of

60
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,119
Speaker 7: the the diner booth here. But I think I think

61
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 7: that's a fun little matchup right there, you know what

62
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 7: I mean. We got a we got a road dog

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 7: heading there to Aggie Land. That's gonna be a fun kickoff.

64
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 7: I think a lot of people are gonna be tuning

65
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 7: in to watch that. There's a lot of good games

66
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 7: in this early slate here, you know. And and I

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 7: don't think I don't think now seasons are going to

68
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 7: be lost or made week one, like it feels like

69
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 7: many times in the past they would be when we

70
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 7: were with the four game playoff. But when when we're

71
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 7: getting down to the nitty gritty seeding teams in the

72
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 7: new expanded twelve team playoff, that That's that's where Week

73
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 7: one can bite you.

74
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean obvious answer rank versus rank Clemson Georgia.

75
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 9: Actually see a little money here on Clemson this morning,

76
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 9: seeing that that number is starting to get a little

77
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 9: short in the eleven range. I mean that thing was

78
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 9: two touchdowns a little early in the week. So a

79
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 9: little money on Clemson this morning. That obviously is the

80
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 9: high profile game today. I think if you wanted to

81
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 9: ask me, what's the most intriguing game that could have

82
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 9: fringe playoff implications, it's actually tomorrow here in Vegas, USC

83
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 9: against LSU, A very intriguing game. Of course, both teams

84
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 9: losing their you know, Heisman caliber quarterback, so we'll see

85
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 9: a very different offense for both USC and LSU. I

86
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 9: know we're gonna break this game down a little bit later,

87
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 9: but in terms of name recognition in the brands, obviously

88
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 9: Clemson and Georgia right at the top.

89
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 8: Obviously A and M.

90
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 9: Maybe not as much as Notre Dame, but those brands

91
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 9: are right at the top, and I think USC LSU, right,

92
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 9: it's a neutral site game in Vegas.

93
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 8: I'm already starting to see a lot of.

94
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 4: Trojan fans invading Las Vegas.

95
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 8: This weekend.

96
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 9: It's gonna be I would imagine a very heavy us

97
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 9: C crowd of LO LSU travels really well, wouldn't be

98
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 9: shocked if they, you know, fill up Allegiance Stadium too.

99
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 9: But that's a very intriguing game. Of course, you have

100
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 9: two offenses that we just don't know what we're gonna

101
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 9: get because the quarterback production we have from both programs

102
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 9: last year obviously very different.

103
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 6: Now you guys might call me a liar here, but

104
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 6: rooting Allegiance to the side, it's still Notre Dame, Texas

105
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 6: A and M.

106
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I can get it's a tight spread.

107
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 3: That's a fun game too.

108
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the backdrop is pretty cool too, where the

109
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 6: former well the former Duke head coach, Mike Elco is

110
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 6: now at Texas A and M his former quarterback Rightley

111
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 6: Leonard is now at Notre Dame, so they're on closing sides.

112
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 5: That's that's pretty interesting.

113
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 9: That happened last year too, By the way, that second

114
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 9: year in a row, we've seen that happen last year

115
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 9: Wisconsin Luke Fickel, right, and we saw Ben Bryant from Northwestern.

116
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,839
Speaker 9: Those guys were coaching quarterback last year playing against each other.

117
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 5: Man, who could forget that epic showdown?

118
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 3: Huh.

119
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 9: You know, little high more, little more high profile this time, right, yeah,

120
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 9: a little bit.

121
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

122
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 6: And one that I have circled that we haven't mentioned

123
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 6: yet is that Miami Florida game. You know, I think

124
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 6: that's gonna be an interesting one. You get cam Ward

125
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 6: going over there to the you can Mario christobaal get

126
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 6: it going in the right direction. Man, Florida, you talk

127
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 6: about murderers row their schedule is freaking brutal. So if

128
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 6: they lose this game, man, you're staring like a three

129
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 6: win season right in the face potentially, you know. So

130
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 6: Florida's got to find a way to win the game.

131
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 6: I don't know that they will, but the way they

132
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 6: close their season, it sounds like a joke where it's

133
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 6: just ranked team, ranked team, ranked team on the road,

134
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 6: ranked team. It's like, my gosh, So Billy Napier, who's

135
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 6: on the hot seat. That is a big game because

136
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 6: you don't want to start off losing to Miami with

137
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 6: that schedule facing you and all the naysayers that that

138
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:46,919
Speaker 6: is a must.

139
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 5: Win game for Florida, and I'm not sure they're gonna.

140
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, and opening your season that way for either of

141
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 7: these programs Week one against an in state rival, one

142
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 7: of the oldest rivalries you have going with your football program.

143
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 7: It's almost unfair because nobody knows who they are yet.

144
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 7: In college football, that is going to be something We're

145
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 7: going to see a lot of beware of road favorites

146
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 7: early in the season. I'm gonna say that right now,

147
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 7: full well knowing that Miama Mater plays as a road

148
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 7: favorite in Webter TV today, because you're going to see

149
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 7: a lot of self discovery, a lot of naval staring

150
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 7: in college football as the beginning of this season kicks off,

151
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 7: because I don't think, I really don't think these teams

152
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 7: know a whole lot about themselves because there's so much

153
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 7: roster turnover, because of the open transfer portal, because of

154
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 7: the name, image and likeness money that players are chasing. Yeah,

155
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 7: I'll go back to talking about Nick Saban for a moment.

156
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 7: That guy's an analyst this year instead of a head

157
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 7: football coach out a football program. Because he said it.

158
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 7: He said it a couple times this offseason. I didn't

159
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 7: like where this game's heading with all these players. Asks

160
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 7: after we lose a heartbreaker in the semi final.

161
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: He was like, I don't.

162
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 7: I don't like how this is turned out where I

163
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 7: have to, you know, dance and prove and pay players

164
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 7: to keep them in my program. He was like, that's

165
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 7: not the way it was, and and I didn't. I

166
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 7: didn't like the way that felt. It felt too transactional

167
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 7: instead of what it used to be. Where the exchange

168
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 7: was you come to my football program, I try to

169
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 7: make you a better football player, and then we shake

170
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 7: hands on your way out the door. And you know what,

171
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 7: maybe if you learned a couple of things about life

172
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 7: along the way, all the better because I got into

173
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 7: the business for that too. And now it's like, you

174
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 7: walk into this football program four years later, you could

175
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 7: potentially have already made a down payment on a house.

176
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 7: You may have a couple of cars in that that

177
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 7: house is garage. You may have set up a couple

178
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 7: of family members with all the money you made in college.

179
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 3: These guys are professed now it's a completely different game.

180
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 7: And going back to my original point, week one, week

181
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 7: two of this college football season, I think we're gonna

182
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 7: see some really wacky things happen on the fields out there.

183
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, we already saw them, right, in Ireland.

184
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 9: Last week, Georgia Tech as a double digit dog, wins

185
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 9: out right in Florida State. I think is you know,

186
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 9: kind of licking their wounds a little bit. I think

187
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 9: that is the key everybody. And I saw that number

188
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 9: move a ton. Everybody was betting Boston College. Boston College

189
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 9: plays Florida State in a couple of days, they got

190
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 9: a couple of extra days rest after their trip home,

191
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 9: and you already saw that number adjust, you know, I

192
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 9: think it was like four points. I got BC like

193
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,559
Speaker 9: plus twenty and a half, and now it's sitting at

194
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 9: like sixteen or seventeen, even touch fourteen at one point.

195
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 9: So you already start to see the overreactions right after

196
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 9: those initial games. You don't overreact to one data point.

197
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 9: Now if it's a second data point, for example, if

198
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 9: Florida State goes out and gets pushed around by Boston

199
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 9: College on Monday night, well then we can start to

200
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 9: raise the alarm on what's happening in Tallahassee. But if

201
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 9: your team goes out there today and kind of doesn't

202
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 9: look like you expected based on what you were reading

203
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 9: in the off season publications, it's not time to push

204
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 9: the panic. But yet for two reasons. Hey, it's ones

205
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 9: thinking data point, and these are college kids. They are

206
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 9: going to improve or maybe look worse the following week

207
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 9: if they look really good this week. But also, the

208
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 9: Collegeable Playoff is different now, like you can lose it

209
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 9: Florida Stay could still make it. They probably won't, but

210
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 9: they could still make it theoretically, Whereas last year, if

211
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 9: you lose that opening game, you're done, You're cooked. They

212
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 9: would have had no shot to make the CFP. So

213
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 9: it's just a completely different set of rules that we're

214
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 9: working with this year, and I think that makes the

215
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 9: season very, very interesting.

216
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's the interesting thing to me is because there's

217
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 6: no preseason like the NFL. This is your first glimpse,

218
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 6: like you guys are just talking about. So, yeah, I agree.

219
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 6: There is such a thing as overreacting. I think there's

220
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 6: such a thing as underreacting as well. It just depends.

221
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 6: It's case by case. Give you an example. Let's look

222
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 6: at Colorado. Colorado took on North Dakota State and their

223
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,959
Speaker 6: offensive line looked freaking brutal. Okay, and their defense didn't look.

224
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 5: Very good either. Like that that's a great said.

225
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 6: I know the Bison do their thing at the FCS level,

226
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 6: I know they're one of the behemoths. So it's not

227
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 6: like it was you know, Billy Bob Tech over there

228
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 6: or something like that the most rema. But but you

229
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 6: know what I'm saying is, even though that's your first game,

230
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 6: there were signs where that is a that's a bad

231
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 6: sign going forward. Shaduer Sanders did his thing, four hundred

232
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 6: and forty five yards passing, Travis Hunter was unbelievable, three

233
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 6: touchdown catches. Those guys are phenomenal. But when you don't

234
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 6: have the O line, when your defense is like, eh,

235
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 6: but I don't see this being a turner corner a

236
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 6: corner turning type season. So that's the thing is, it's like,

237
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 6: holy FCS batman. On the schedule over here, there's so

238
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 6: many games against FCS teams where what do they look like?

239
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 5: And that's your first glimpse.

240
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 6: Maybe you're overreacting, like, oh man, we had a last

241
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 6: second field goal to beat an FCS team.

242
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 5: We suck, Like that's game one. You might improve.

243
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 6: That might be an overreaction, But there is such a

244
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 6: thing as underreacting where it's like it's just.

245
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 5: The first game.

246
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 6: It's like I don't see the offensive line all of

247
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 6: a sudden, pushing everybody around when you can't push around

248
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 6: an FCS team.

249
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 3: You know, I completely agree with you.

250
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 7: I think there is a way that human beings, to

251
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 7: protect themselves, will not absorb guilt in that way. Right,

252
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 7: you know, even if it's a win, you can still

253
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 7: consider a game of loss.

254
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,079
Speaker 3: And actually I typically felt like those were the.

255
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 7: Best wins for football programs that I played for, whether

256
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 7: it be collegiately or professionally.

257
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: And that's across all the teams I played for.

258
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 7: When you have a narrow win against a team you

259
00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 7: should beat badly, it teaches you more than beating that

260
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 7: team by a million or beating any of the better

261
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 7: teams on your schedule typically, And the reason is because

262
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 7: it's it's a gut check, it's who It's kind of

263
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,439
Speaker 7: a who do you want to be this season type

264
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 7: of moment. And so if Deon Sanders coach Prime, if

265
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 7: he's smart what he's doing when he gets his team

266
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 7: into the film.

267
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 3: Room, he is treating it like it's a loss.

268
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 7: Now you get the w on the official schedule, nobody's

269
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,079
Speaker 7: going to really.

270
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 3: Recall that game play for play.

271
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 7: Come the end of the season when there's so many

272
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 7: other bigger moments to reltigate.

273
00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 3: But you treat that like a loss.

274
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 7: You look every single player in the eye in that

275
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 7: room and you ask them what kind of football team

276
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 7: do you want to be? Do you want to be

277
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 7: a football team who has to survive against North Dakota State?

278
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 3: Or are we going to be the type of.

279
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 7: Football team that gets to hoist some hardware at the

280
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 7: end of the season. And that's a stare yourself in

281
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 7: the mirror moment and so good on the buffs for

282
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 7: getting the w. But yeah, you do not miss the

283
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 7: opportunity to create a teachable moment. Do not do not

284
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 7: miss the opportunity to don't be don't be so overwhelmed

285
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 7: with how good of a football team you are not

286
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 7: to look at a loss or a win that closely

287
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 7: and investigate and try to make yourself better.

288
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

289
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 8: I didn't change my opinion on Colorado based on the game.

290
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 9: Colorado has elite skill players, elite skilled players, and not

291
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 9: a ton of depth in the trenches. That's what they

292
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 9: were last year, That's what they are this year. At

293
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 9: least based on that first game. I wouldn't move Colorado's

294
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 9: number too much. Based off of that. Now, if one

295
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 9: of those guys get hurt, Sanders or Hunter, I mean,

296
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 9: then you're gonna move that number considerably. But I still

297
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 9: think Colorado is what is, what they is, what we

298
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 9: thought they were. As Dennis Green would say, right, I

299
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 9: will say, the one concern is the coaching. And I

300
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 9: don't know everything I read from you know what we've

301
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 9: seen in the off season, the you know controversy that

302
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 9: it's just there's there's a lot of going on behind

303
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 9: the scenes there, and it's all about quieting that noise,

304
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 9: right Rich Like when when Penn State was going through

305
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 9: some struggles, it was the year before, it was my

306
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 9: freshman year, the year was Zach Mills, and then all

307
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 9: of a sudden they kind of hit that hit that

308
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 9: spurt and improve. When you're facing adversity when you're expected

309
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 9: to be good, is that harder than when no one

310
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 9: expects anything of you and then you don't play well,

311
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 9: like Colorado has these high expectations and they kind of

312
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 9: fell short of that obviously in that opening game. Is

313
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 9: that harder to overcome than a team that just isn't

314
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 9: really supposed to be good and then fall short?

315
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 8: Obviously?

316
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely?

317
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 7: And and it's because you can control so much about football,

318
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 7: and then there's obviously things you can't control. You can't

319
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 7: control a road environment, you can't control, uh you know,

320
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 7: another team's plays or players, personnel, et cetera. And you

321
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 7: certainly can't control what people expect from you on the

322
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 7: outside looking in, and that can derail your season if

323
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 7: you have players who are sensitive to that stuff. So

324
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 7: the drum beat has to be very closed culture. When

325
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 7: things like that happen, you have to you have to

326
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 7: convince your players we are controlling the control bulls. We

327
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 7: are doing the very best we can inside of these doors.

328
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 7: What everybody says on the outside, it's not their fault,

329
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 7: but they don't know what they're talking about.

330
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 10: Uh.

331
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 6: That is the voice of rich Orenberger right there. Penn

332
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,560

368
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,040

00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,200

Speaker 6: Countdown to kick Off presented by bet MGM all season long.

Speaker 6: their stake back in cash.

383
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 5: All right, so we've got a big one hit.

384
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 6: We got a dandy Keith Jackson, We got a dandy here, right,

385
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 6: Clemson at Georgia, or I should say Clemson versus Georgia

386
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 6: because it's at a neutral site there over at Mercedes

387
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 6: Benz in Atlanta. So I think this is the mother

388
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 6: of misleading stats. I saw this flash on the screen

389
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,159
Speaker 6: last night and I was like, Wow, if you're not

390
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 6: reading the fine print on that, that is quite misleading.

391
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 6: This stat is Clemson and Georgia have combined to win

392
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 6: four of the last eight national championships. And while that

393
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 6: is completely accurate and that is a fact, yeah, yeah, man,

394
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 6: there's a big difference between where Clemson is right now

395
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,439
Speaker 6: and where Georgia is right now because that arrow has

396
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 6: been pointing downward.

397
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 5: For Clemson.

398
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 6: That was their first single digit win season under Dabo Sweeney.

399
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 6: He's had double digit win seasons for twelve years in

400
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 6: a row. That ended last year when they went nine

401
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 6: to four. So Clemson has not been close to where

402
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 6: Georgia has been these last couple of years.

403
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,199
Speaker 3: No, not even close.

404
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 7: And it really stems back to Dabo Sweeney's failure to

405
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 7: adapt to the changing landscape in college football. Early on

406
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 7: win a lot of coaches they saw the way things

407
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 7: were zigging, they zagged with it, meaning nil and transfer

408
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 7: portal and all of the things that are so popular

409
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 7: now in terms of you know, people like US sports

410
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 7: pundits or even the players themselves in terms of interest.

411
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 7: I mean, this is a brand new world compared to

412
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 7: what it was just two seasons ago. It's a brand

413
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 7: new world now. Talk about five years ago, a half decade.

414
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 7: I mean, college football barely resembles what it looked like

415
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 7: back then.

416
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 3: And I think.

417
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 7: Clemson as a result, is playing a little ketchup. I

418
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:51,919
Speaker 7: think that's the biggest problem for them right now. And

419
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 7: you don't want to play ketchup, especially when teams have

420
00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 7: fiercely gathered players in the transfer portal and they've put

421
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,640
Speaker 7: together their war chests with their you know, with their

422
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 7: their their friends and allies amongst their alumnis, and they

423
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 7: they've been able to spend and build rosters better than

424
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 7: a lot of other teams.

425
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, and we're seeing a little bit of handled humm

426
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 9: in on Clemson. I checked in with a couple of

427
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 9: pros that I trust, and it looks like there's a

428
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 9: there is some sharp money on Clemson today.

429
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 8: Does that mean Clemson's gonna win?

430
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 9: I have no idea, but maybe this number is a

431
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 9: little bit heavier, and I think when you look at

432
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 9: what Georgia is, they've got some questions too. I think

433
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 9: both teams this is a very intriguing game because both

434
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 9: teams have high expectations and I think both teams have questions.

435
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,960
Speaker 9: I think with Georgia it's more on the defensive side.

436
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 8: They did lose a lot.

437
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 9: They didn't have as many players, you know, raided by

438
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 9: the draft as they had in prior years. But that

439
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 9: also means last year's defense wasn't as good as it

440
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 9: has been in prior years, and they're dealing with a

441
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 9: little bit of a I would say youth movement on

442
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 9: the defense side. They were run on last year. Auburn

443
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 9: and Georgie's both ran on Georgia last year. Clemson's going

444
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 9: through a defensive transition to I think Clemson's offense is

445
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 9: going to be better this year. It's year two of

446
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 9: Garrett Riley. The OC did not go well at the

447
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 9: end of last year. They were very conservative at the

448
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 9: end of last season. You lose one of the back Shipley,

449
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 9: but you keep MafA. He's a belcal I think the

450
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,679
Speaker 9: run game is going to be really strong for Clemson

451
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 9: this year. The offensive line is gonna be good. Club

452
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 9: Nick needs to take care of the ball. I think

453
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 9: that is the key for the Tigers in this game

454
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 9: and pretty much every game all season.

455
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 8: It's gonna be interesting to see what George's offense looks.

456
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 9: Like, right because I think when you look at what

457
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 9: Mike Bobo is trying to do, they don't have as

458
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 9: many of those high profile pieces as you might think.

459
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,080
Speaker 8: They lost their best pass catcher in Bowers.

460
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 9: Who is a tight end, but the number one receiver

461
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 9: Dominic love It was really good last year when Bowers

462
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 9: was hurt. So we'll see if Lovett takes a step forward.

463
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,040
Speaker 9: Oscar Delp's supposed to be better than brock Bauers, we'll see.

464
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 9: He's young, he's very talented. I think he's more of

465
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 9: a vertical tight end threat. Bowers a little bit more

466
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 9: in line. But Beck's gotta be, you know, the Patrick

467
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 9: Mahomes approach. Defend every blade of grafts. Make Clemson secondary,

468
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 9: which can be a little bit suspect at times, make

469
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 9: them defend all angles of the field. Because George's got speed,

470
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 9: Clemson secondary maybe a little bit flat footed. It's all

471
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 9: about can Carson Beck really, you know, command the offense

472
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:21,479
Speaker 9: and take that step forward.

473
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's funny, right because you go back to the

474
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 6: twenty twenty two NFL Draft and Georgia had fifteen guys

475
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 6: drafted and they had five defensive players drafted in the

476
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 6: first round. And like you're saying, Jared, you think about

477
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 6: that defense and that first championship season for Kirby Smart,

478
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 6: is that just a flash in the pan?

479
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 5: Like are we never going to see that again at Georgia?

480
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 6: Like defense at that level where you had playmakers everywhere. Man,

481
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 6: it's like you were seeing guys like Jordan Davis and

482
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 6: Jalen Carter their teammates now with the Eagles, like they

483
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 6: were on the same Georgia squad, you know what I mean,

484
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 6: And they had just talent. Goal lord Na Kobe Dean

485
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 6: was amazing for that defense. He's an Eagle also, like

486
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 6: anybody who was good, Doly'd smit that all these guys

487
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,159
Speaker 6: are Eagles right now. But I'm just wondering if the

488
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 6: defense can look similar to that but not the same,

489
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 6: because yes, there's a big difference between where they were

490
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 6: at their peak and where they are now. I'm not

491
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 6: saying they suck, but there's a gap between where they

492
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,640
Speaker 6: were at their peak and where they are last year

493
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 6: and where they are now.

494
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, and also going back to the betting line where

495
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 7: it opened as Georgia the Bulldogs being thirteen and a

496
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 7: half point favorites not number has now dropped fairly significantly

497
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 7: a full point to twelve and a half. I think

498
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 7: some of it has to do with the fact that

499
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 7: Attn is not going to be on the field for

500
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,280
Speaker 7: the Bulldogs. You know, you have a rusher who comes

501
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 7: in who's presumed to be your number one back, who

502
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 7: had seven one hundred yards his freshman and sophomore year

503
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 7: at Florida before transferring into the Bulldogs football program, have

504
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 7: the dy back in May and has what I believe

505
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 7: he pled no contest to some lesser charges. I forget

506
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 7: exactly how it all hammered out, but he's facing obviously

507
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 7: some sort of suspension for this, and it's going to

508
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 7: have an effect because they're going to rely on a

509
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 7: guy who's banged up coming into the season. They're backup

510
00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 7: Branton who's got turf toe and had a Pteller tendant

511
00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 7: situation a season ago.

512
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 3: So you have you have some.

513
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:41,040
Speaker 7: People evaluating the Bulldogs who are going to be facing

514
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 7: that again not a home game, neutral site game. Dealing

515
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 7: with adversity out the gate in terms of their roster

516
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 7: and personnel abilities, you know that that could rear its head,

517
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 7: especially if they have an early lead, say, and they

518
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 7: want to sustain that lead. You want to rely on

519
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 7: your running back and whoops, you don't have the guy

520
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 7: you want to rely on in your backfield.

521
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 8: Yeah, let's go through some personnel on both sides.

522
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 9: For Clemson, it's the secondary, right, so their number one

523
00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 9: corner spots set Adon Terrell, number two is a battle Jade, Lucas,

524
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 9: Shelton Lewis, both of those guys hurting Clemson's final scrimmage

525
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 9: and Lewis couldn't even put weight on his leg. He

526
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 9: was seen on crutches very recently. Dabo very tight lipped.

527
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 9: All right, everyone's good to go, and then he's like,

528
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:26,239
Speaker 9: oh no, we're all day today. So we'll see what

529
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,959
Speaker 9: the Clemson secondary looks like. And again with Georgia's offense,

530
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 9: Mike Bobo and Carson Beck. That's the strength of Georgia's

531
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 9: the quarterback position. We'll see if they take advantage of that.

532
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 9: And you mentioned it rich for Georgia, I think Ethen

533
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 9: is going to be suspended. The rest of the group, though,

534
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 9: is so bad that Ethen was. It was rumored as

535
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 9: we that he actually might play because the rest of

536
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 9: the group is is that thin.

537
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 8: Roderick Robinson, the backup, done with.

538
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 9: Toe surgery, so we're at a third string running back

539
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 9: now if Etn doesn't play, and as you mentioned, Brandon

540
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 9: Robinson coming off with a teller injury. The walk on

541
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 9: Cash Jones is also on the depth chart. They've also

542
00:26:58,080 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 9: got a true freshman, Nate Jones. He was the number

543
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 9: two running back in the twenty four class. He flashed

544
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 9: in camp, but that's a true freshman playing in the

545
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 9: first game of the year against Clemson, who defensively did

546
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 9: lose a lot. Again, five guys drafted on the defensive

547
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 9: side of the ball for Clempson, three of their best defenders.

548
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,680
Speaker 9: This is gonna be I'll be honest, I'm changing my

549
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 9: answer from earlier.

550
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 3: This game is.

551
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 9: Very intriguing to me in terms of the upside, because

552
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 9: I think Georgia has a chance. If they want to

553
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 9: push the ball down the field, I think they've got.

554
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 8: A chance to do that with their speed.

555
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 9: It's all about Clemson controlled. It's kind of a typical

556
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,920
Speaker 9: Clemson game. Can they control tempo? Can they control the

557
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 9: line of scrimmage. If they can do both of those things,

558
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 9: they are live in this game because I think their

559
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 9: defense can at least compete, and I think Clay Cup

560
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 9: Club Nick, I'm gonna have to say that a lot

561
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 9: this year at least has an opportunity with.

562
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 8: Some of the weapons it is disposal to push the

563
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 8: ball down the field on his end.

564
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 6: Well, hey, you talk about being intrigued by the upside.

565
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 6: I'm intrigued by the upside of one Isaac kleewen Kron.

566
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 6: And let me tell you, Mount everest of upside is

567
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:02,919
Speaker 6: what you have with Ilo.

568
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 5: What is going on today?

569
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 4: I low, Well, thank you, Brian.

570
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 10: And in this case it was actually you who had

571
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 10: the bigger upside because you mentioned earlier Billy Bob Tech.

572
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 4: I actually scrolled.

573
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 10: I did a lot of scrolling through the college football

574
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 10: scoreboard on Friday night, and it turns out there is

575
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,160
Speaker 10: a Billy Bob Tech Division three Triple A. Last night,

576
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 10: the Billy Bob Tech Boss Hogs defeated the Jimmy Bubba

577
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 10: State Mighty Mullets thirty one to twenty seven.

578
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 5: Incredible Jimmy Bubba State.

579
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 8: Huh, Jared nig Bubba State?

580
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 4: Jared, how did your how did your bet come out

581
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 4: on that one?

582
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 8: Jimmy Bubba State?

583
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: Plus?

584
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 8: The points went down high?

585
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 10: I hear that anyway, and less important college football. Actually,

586
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 10: on Friday night, Wisconsin defeated Western Michigan twenty eight to fourteen.

587
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 10: Western Michigan actually led this game with ten third to

588
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 10: play in the fourth, with the Badgers closed on a

589
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 10: fifteen to nothing run. TCUs Josh Hoover threw for three

590
00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 10: point fifty three at a thirty four to twenty seven

591
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 10: win at Stanford, and Michigan State held off Florida Atlantic

592
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 10: sixteen to ten. Baseball Friday night, the Los Angeles Dodgers

593
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 10: one at Arizona ten to nine, show Hey Otani and

594
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 10: other home run and others stolen base becoming the first

595
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 10: forty three forty three.

596
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 4: Player in Major League history.

597
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 10: However, Clayton Kershaw left the game with a bone spur

598
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 10: in his left big toe and is expected to have

599
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 10: to go on the injured list. Giants over the Marlins

600
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 10: three to one thanks to a basis clearing double by

601
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 10: Matt Chapman at the bottom of the eighth inning US

602
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 10: Open Friday night, defending champion and men's number two seed

603
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 10: Novak Djokovic was upset of the third round by Alexey

604
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,000
Speaker 10: Popperin of Australia in four sets, and of the WNBA

605
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 10: On Friday night, Caitlin Clark dropped a season I thirty

606
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 10: one along with twelve assists as the Indiana Fever defeat

607
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 10: of the Chicago Sky one hundred to eighty one.

608
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 4: Fella's back to you.

609
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 3: Thank You, I Lo.

610
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 6: It is Fox Sports Radio's Countdown to kick Off Off,

611
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 6: presented by Bett MGM. So we can expand on this

612
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 6: a little bit later, but just to dip our beaks

613
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 6: in the waters over here of number eight Penn State

614
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 6: against West Virginia, and man, there has been a steady

615
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 6: stream of West Virginia money. You had Penn State open

616
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 6: between like minus ten minus twelve, and it's all the

617
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 6: way down to minus seven and a half for Penn State,

618
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 6: the road favorite in this one. I don't know, man,

619
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 6: I love your Nitney Lions in this matchup here when

620
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 6: it is just like, hey, all the cool people are

621
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 6: betting West Virginia plus.

622
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 5: The points, I don't know, man.

623
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 6: And James Franklin has been money in situations like this

624
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 6: at Penn State. You see his record when his teams

625
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 6: are favored between seven and twenty four points, his record

626
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,239
Speaker 6: is unblemished against the spread. They are sixteen zho to

627
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 6: one wow against the spread. When the Nitney Lions are

628
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 6: favored between seven and twenty four and that's what they're

629
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 6: favored by seven and a half right now, So that

630
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 6: stat would play into this. I just think I think

631
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 6: it's going to be a madhouse there at West Virginia.

632
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 6: But I think that Penn State with a new offensive

633
00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 6: coordinator and Drew Aller and that running game and that defense,

634
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 6: that's a lot of and and and and you know,

635
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 6: and again when you've get when you get all of

636
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 6: that money on one side, I go to the other side.

637
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:30,440
Speaker 3: Man.

638
00:31:30,480 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 5: I like Penn State in this one a lot.

639
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it.

640
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 7: I could see this being a win and a no

641
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 7: cover for Penn State. I could also see it a

642
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 7: win and a narrow cover for Penn State. I could

643
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 7: see this swinging back and forth. So this would be

644
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 7: a hands off game for me. And like I said,

645
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 7: I think wacky things are gonna happen to a lot

646
00:31:49,520 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 7: of road favorites. Earlier in the season in terms of

647
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 7: the point spread, but also losses, and those losses again

648
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 7: not as detrimental as they were when it was a

649
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 7: four to team playoff, but they will come up when

650
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,479
Speaker 7: you're seeding these teams at the end of the season.

651
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 7: You know how desirable will your placement be. Who will

652
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 7: you be facing in the early rounds of the postseason,

653
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 7: So you do not want to drop on the road

654
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 7: in Morgantown if you're Penn State. What I'm most fascinated

655
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 7: to see is how this Nitney Lion offense looks, especially

656
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 7: on the road, super hostile environment. Drew Awler, you know,

657
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 7: he's not a true dual threat quarterback, but he can

658
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:35,320
Speaker 7: run some version of the option to stress defenses and

659
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 7: find those stress points out there. So I think we

660
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 7: will see some planned QB run. I think we will

661
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 7: see obviously at times them pushing the ball down the

662
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 7: field in their standard offense spread formations, but also out

663
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 7: of the play auction, and I'm expecting them to have

664
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 7: some success if they convert on those plays. So, like

665
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 7: you said, I could see this game being a win

666
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 7: and a cover for the Penn State Nitney Lions. Brian

667
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 7: and I like the Nittney Lions. Obviously, my biases are

668
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 7: pushing me that way, but I could also see a

669
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 7: narrow win, and I could see a no cover, and

670
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 7: I could see a lot of people in Morgantown who

671
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 7: placed their bets on their bet MGM apps going.

672
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 3: Well at least my bet one.

673
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 9: Make no mistake if James Franklin has an opportunity to

674
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,719
Speaker 9: cover this number, Penn State is covering this night.

675
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 3: Of course, do you.

676
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 8: Remember this game last year?

677
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 9: Completely meaningless touchdown was six seconds left, not only for

678
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 9: Penn State to get the cover, but the game also

679
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 9: went over.

680
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 8: I remember, you know why I was on the under

681
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 8: and that.

682
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 9: Touchdown was completely irrelevant and Neil Brown this week, they

683
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 9: remember in Morgantown.

684
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:46,400
Speaker 8: Here's the quote. It is what it is.

685
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 9: If our guys need something like that to motivate them,

686
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 9: then eh, I'm not saying that's gonna I'm not saying

687
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 9: that's gonna impact the game, because you gotta go out

688
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:57,840
Speaker 9: there and strap it on and play. But they remember

689
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 9: that that meaningless touchdown with the back on the field

690
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 9: and you know, the cover play as we talked about

691
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 9: earlier with Elon but with Drew Aller, it's it was

692
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 9: checked down Charlie last year, right a dot. We talked

693
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 9: about this all the time, Average depth of target? How

694
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,839
Speaker 9: far are you pushing the ball down the field? How

695
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 9: much pressure are you putting on the opposing defenses? One

696
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,279
Speaker 9: hundred and fifty nine qualifying quarterbacks last year, Aler was

697
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,240
Speaker 9: one thirty seventh in average depth of target, only nine

698
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 9: throws on four hundred and twenty eight dropbacks beyond the

699
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,560
Speaker 9: sticks in the air. You just you've got to push

700
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 9: the ball down the field, and I think that is

701
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 9: the biggest question. We get a new offensive coordinator for

702
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 9: Penn State this year, the Kansas colto Nikki. He's been

703
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 9: unbelievable at Kansas. You look at the average depth of

704
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 9: target of the Kansas quarterbacks over the last four years,

705
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 9: increasing year over year, and West Virginia a little thin

706
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 9: in the secondary. Right, they lost their consensus All American

707
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 9: Beanie Bishop. That's a huge loss. Neil Brown's excited about

708
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 9: the front seven, but I think the secondary is the

709
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 9: weakness of West Virginia. What better chance to show that

710
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 9: you've taken a step forward, Drew Aller, Push the ball

711
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 9: down the field and make this defense respect the Penn

712
00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 9: State offense because for defensive purposes.

713
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 8: Bett State's got a huge edge in this game.

714
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 9: They're gonna have a huge edge almost in every matchup

715
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 9: they play this year on the defensive side of the ball.

716
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 8: Can Drew Aller take that next step? That is the

717
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 8: entire question around the Nitney line season.

718
00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, Denk and dunk Drew.

719
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 8: There you go. I like that better than check down Charlie.

720
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 5: Yeah, such a That's an amazing stat you know, was.

721
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 8: It throws on four to twenty eight drop backs?

722
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 3: Honest?

723
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, that sends. That's hard to believe.

724
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 8: Man, you don't respect the pass.

725
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 6: There are so many times where it could be like

726
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 6: second and five, you know what I mean, like you

727
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,759
Speaker 6: throw it past the sticks that that would count, right,

728
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 6: and still not that many times.

729
00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, amazing.

730
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 9: He played well in this game last year though. He

731
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 9: had three five three touchdowns in this game last year.

732
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 9: So maybe it's West Virginia.

733
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 7: It's And also again that defense is going to be

734
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,400
Speaker 7: so so smooth on defensive on Penn State side. I

735
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 7: don't know how much you get done if you're West Virginia.

736
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,880
Speaker 7: But again, early in the season, roster turnover, different coaches,

737
00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:12,840
Speaker 7: different voices, hostile environment. This is gonna be This is

738
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 7: gonna be a fun one to watch.

739
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 3: Boys.

740
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 6: Okay, So we've got Rich Rodenberger, Penn State, All American,

741

Speaker 5: I'm Brian no.

743
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,000

Speaker 6: State and I'm the one that's like, lay the points.

746
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 8: Don't get me wrong.

747
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 9: I'm laying it because James Franklin's coaching. James Franklin's coaching

748
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 9: Penn State. I'm willing to lay as a favorite. That

749
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:36,640
Speaker 9: dude loves cover numbers.

750
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 3: He does, he does, It's important to him. All right.

751
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 6: Coming up next, Jared Smith's been hard at work. We

752
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:45,439
Speaker 6: get to the parley platter. Coming up, it is Fox

Speaker 5: All Right, let's do this.

761
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: Check this out r lad letter.

762
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 6: All right, Jared Smith, I know if you have been

763
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 6: at your computer and you have been checking and checking

764
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 6: and looking and sifting and searching for the perfect parlay

765
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 6: platter to start us off here this season.

766
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 5: What do you have for us?

767
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 9: Well, we're back to the hits, right. Last year we

768
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,279
Speaker 9: did a lot of this that didn't win many of them.

769
00:37:36,320 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 9: But again that's why it's a small risk on your

770
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 9: portfolio today.

771
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,479
Speaker 8: Don't go crazy with these, but we.

772
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 9: Will smash three money lines together for some underdogs and

773
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,720
Speaker 9: try to get lucky here with a big payout.

774
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,200
Speaker 8: So let's start with this Florida Miami game.

775
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 9: You want to take the points with Florida, that's fine,

776
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 9: but every time it gets to three, it.

777
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 8: Gets bought back down. I would just put it.

778
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 9: On the money line here and take the Gator Graham

779
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,239
Speaker 9: Mertz year too. I'm excited to see what Graham Mertz

780
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 9: can do in year two with this billion napier offense.

781
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 9: I certainly don't trust Mario Crys the ball is a favor.

782
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,799
Speaker 9: Absolutely not, especially on the road. This feels like a

783
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 9: toss up game in state rivals. I know Miami's got

784
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 9: all the hype with cam Ward et cetera. But listen,

785
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 9: Florida's got some speed here on the outside, Eugene Wilson,

786
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 9: Shamir d k, the Wisconsin transfer very good chemistry with Mertz,

787
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,399
Speaker 9: and Miami's weakness is their secondary So I could see

788
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 9: in Florida maybe being a little aggressive here with Mertz

789
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 9: pushing the ball down the field. We think the Gators

790
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 9: here in Leg one of the parlay Leg two, UNLV

791
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 9: is a dog today at Houston. Both of these teams

792
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 9: lost a ton, especially UNLV defensively.

793
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:38,960
Speaker 8: They lost their quarterback Mayava as well.

794
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 9: But Barry Odam's a good coach and I think he's

795
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,919
Speaker 9: gonna get this team at least competing. And Houston, Man,

796
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 9: you think UNLV lost a ton, Houston lost even more.

797
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 9: Willie Fritz has his hands full this year in a

798
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 9: big step up in conference competition for Houston. So I

799
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:54,799
Speaker 9: think this game also a toss up. You're getting three

800
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 9: and a half points with the rebels, forget that. Just

801
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 9: put it on the money line and we'll throw it

802
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 9: in the parlay final leg late night out here in

803
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 9: the Desert, Arizona State at home taken on Wyoming. Listen,

804
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 9: Wyoming competed in their non conference road games last year.

805
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 8: They had Texas Tech on the rope. They had Texas

806
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 8: on the rope too.

807
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,160
Speaker 9: They were tied with Texas ten to ten in the

808
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,240
Speaker 9: fourth quarter until a late avalanche by the Longhorns pushed

809
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,439
Speaker 9: them across the finish line. Evans the Boda can ball

810
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 9: a little bit. That's the quarterback for Wyoming, and they've

811
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 9: been really good in these spots, six and two against

812
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 9: the number in their last four non conference road games.

813
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 9: I think Arizona State's going to major changes with Kenny Dillingham.

814
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,719
Speaker 9: They lost a ton in the portal. Wyoming about a

815
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 9: seven point dog in this game will put them in

816
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 9: the parlay as well on the money line. So that's

817
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 9: Florida UNLV Wyoming. This parlay over at bet MGM pays

818
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 9: out almost sixteen to one.

819
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,719
Speaker 8: Not bad for our first swing right out of the gates.

820
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it.

821
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 7: I'll tell you what, the same way we saw in

822
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 7: North Dakota State put it to the buffs. A lot

823
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 7: of these group of five teams, and you chose to

824
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 7: have the Mountain West. It's going to be tight against

825
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,719
Speaker 7: some of these fbs, or I shouldn't say, FBS, some

826
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 7: of these powerful conference teams early.

827
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 3: In the season.

828
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 7: I think this is this is sneaky one of your

829
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 7: parly bladders.

830
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 3: I'll be like, love of this. I like it a lot.

831
00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 3: What do you think?

832
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:14,200
Speaker 7: Be?

833
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 9: No?

834
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 6: You you with the fifteen to one payouts already?

835
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 4: I hate let your hair down?

836
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying?

837
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,000
Speaker 6: Why who might have been brinch on this fifteen to

838
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:27,720
Speaker 6: one party?

839
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,839
Speaker 8: Very little sprinkle on their little half unit quarter unit?

840
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 8: Nothing crazy, nothing crazy.

841
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 6: You know I've thought out. I've got a portal rants

842
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,640
Speaker 6: for you. Okay, if you're up for it, I'm always

843
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 6: up for your rants. I also have an old man

844
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 6: yelling at Cloud's rants that you might find halfway entertaining.

845
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 6: But something that you said, Jared about Kenny Dillingham losing

846
00:40:51,160 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 6: so much talent to the portal, Yeah, we can.

847
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 5: Get back into that.

848
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 6: Also coming up next, is it the quarterback or is

849
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 6: it the defense that has the upper we'll discuss.

850
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 5: Oh, it is a beautiful day.

851
00:41:04,040 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 6: No matter where you are right now listening to this,

852
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 6: it's a beautiful day. It could be hurricane like conditions.

853
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 5: It doesn't.

854
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 6: It's a beautiful day. Because we got Week one ball

855
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 6: over here. College football, some real matchups going on. How

856
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 6: about we highlight this one in prime time on ABC

857
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 6: seven thirty pm Eastern Time, Number seven, Notre Dame, Number

858
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 6: twenty Texas A and M. There is an interesting comment

859
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,319
Speaker 6: from Texas A and M head coach Mike Elko. So

860
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 6: he's going to be facing his former quarterback. Riley Leonard

861
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 6: was at Duke when Mike Elko was the head coach

862
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 6: over there. Now Elko is at A and M. Riley Leonard,

863
00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 6: the quarterback, is at Notre Dame, so they're facing one

864
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 6: another here this evening. So Mike Elko was asked about this, Hey,

865
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,280
Speaker 6: who has the upper hand?

866
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 5: Check out his answer? Pretty interesting.

867
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:00,839
Speaker 12: I would argue that he has more of an upper

868
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 12: hand than we do because he's probably a little bit

869
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 12: more familiar with this defense than most quarterbacks we play,

870
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 12: and we don't have a ton of comfort as a

871
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:13,160
Speaker 12: program going against this offense. You know, we haven't defended

872
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 12: it for a single snap I think two years. Going

873
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 12: against some version of this defense that's similar to what

874
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,799
Speaker 12: he'll see Saturday night probably gives him a little bit

875
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,319
Speaker 12: more of an advantage than it does us.

876
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 6: I know, Rich, We'll start with you, man who do

877
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 6: you think has the upper hand. Is it the quarterback

878
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 6: Riley Leonard who's very familiar with Mike Elko's defense, or

879
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 6: is it Mike Elko who knows all of Riley Leonard's

880
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 6: tendencies and can game plan for that.

881
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 5: Who do you think has the upper hand?

882
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 7: Well, players play, coaches coach, So if the player is capable,

883
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 7: you always give the edge to the player because he's

884
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 7: in control of what he's in control of. So having

885
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:58,800
Speaker 7: some familiarity with either a defense, of how a defense

886
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 7: and how it's structured, or even personnel or or even

887
00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 7: you know, whatever it may be like, all of those

888
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 7: advantages go to the player, But it's up to the player.

889
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 3: To take advantage.

890
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 7: Now, a coach having the whole scouting up close in person,

891
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 7: scouting profile on a player, having an opportunity to get

892
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 7: to know a player, the ins and the outs in

893
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:28,000
Speaker 7: terms of what they do well. Weakness is strengths you

894
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:32,919
Speaker 7: could avoid or exploit. That's important too, But still as

895
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:37,680
Speaker 7: a coach, you still need to get your players to understand,

896
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:41,919
Speaker 7: comprehend and do what it is that that you need

897
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:45,759
Speaker 7: them to do to exploit those weaknesses or steer your

898
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,560
Speaker 7: team away from those strengths, whereas the player is in

899
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 7: control of his own destiny.

900
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 3: So I mean I.

901
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 7: Would give a slight edge to Riley Leonard here in

902
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 7: in this matchup.

903
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,360
Speaker 3: I agree with what coach Alco said, I.

904
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,359
Speaker 9: Would agree as well, and especially because any tendencies that

905
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 9: Riley Leonard has picked up, well, the new offense in

906
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 9: Notre Dame this year with Mike Denbrock now as the OC,

907
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 9: so it's you know, all of those tendencies are going

908
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 9: to get thrown out the window. Whereas a lot of

909
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 9: times when coaches go from one spot to another, which

910
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 9: is the case here with Elko going from Duke to

911
00:44:18,200 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 9: A and m he brings a lot of that with him,

912
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 9: Whereas I think Riley Leonard will be going through a

913
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 9: lot of new tendencies, new signals, new schemes, new you.

914
00:44:28,200 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 8: Know, just overall vibes.

915
00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 9: I think a lot of the same, especially defensive principles

916
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 9: that Mike Elko is going to bring over, are going

917
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 9: to be really intriguing. I'm fascinated to see what Notre

918
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 9: Dame's scheme is here. Jared Parker last year, the offensive

919
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 9: coordinator for Notre Dame was very conservative. Mike Denbrock's pass

920
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 9: right in neutral situations significantly higher. I think we're going

921
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 9: to see a much more aggressive Riley Leonard. The question

922
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,400
Speaker 9: is is he fully healthy. I'm hearing that he is

923
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 9: because when he is fully healthy, he is fantastic at

924
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 9: avoiding sacks, and that is going to be key because

925
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,720
Speaker 9: I know you know this, Brian, but Notre Dame's biggest

926
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 9: transition this year is on the offensive line. They lose Joealt,

927
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 9: They've got a ton of other pieces that are kind

928
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 9: of getting shuffled around Texas. A and M's strength is

929
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 9: up front. Nick s gower to number one edge rusher

930
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:14,719
Speaker 9: and the portal comes in. They've got a ton of

931
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 9: depth upfront with this A and M defense, can Riley Leonard,

932
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 9: you know, maneuver around what is going to be just

933
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 9: a swarm of defenders in his face all night.

934
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:23,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

935
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 6: It's funny like if I combined all of our statements

936
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,839
Speaker 6: into one, you know, clump over here if you will, right,

937
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 6: who has the upper hand between Mike Elko and Riley Leonard.

938
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,479
Speaker 6: I think the narrative will be written after the game.

939
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,399
Speaker 6: This reminds me of like an older NBA team, right

940
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 6: where if they win, you're like, well, they're experienced, but

941
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 6: if they lose, you're like, well, there are a bunch

942
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 6: of geezers over there.

943
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 3: You know.

944
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,240
Speaker 6: It's like, if Mike Elko's team wins, it's all, well, Elko,

945
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 6: he had the upper hand.

946
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 5: He knows Riley Leonard like the back of his hand.

947
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 5: He got it.

948
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 6: If Riley Leonard wins, it's like, oh, well he that defense, really,

949
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, Like, I think that's what's

950
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 6: gonna be talked about potentially after the game. But what

951
00:46:05,719 --> 00:46:09,080
Speaker 6: you hit on, Jared is the thing Notre Dame's offensive

952
00:46:09,080 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 6: line very inexperienced, new right tackle. They have a new

953
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 6: left tackle. That first guy got hurt, so they have

954
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 6: like a new new left tackle. Yeah, yes, yeah, So combined,

955
00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:26,719
Speaker 6: these five offensive linemen have six career startsikes, and you're

956
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 6: on the road in that atmosphere, and yeah, that could

957
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 6: be it could be a little bit of an issue

958
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 6: right there.

959
00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 8: So about this that.

960
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 9: Forty two consecutive years Notre Dame with a senior on

961
00:46:36,120 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 9: the offensive line broken this year?

962
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:38,440
Speaker 3: Wow?

963
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 6: Yeah crazy right, And then you combine that with again

964
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 6: six career starts, yeah, fight these guys, So that that

965
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 6: absolutely is a big factor and helps Mike Elko's defense

966
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 6: quite a bit in this one. I'm just looking at

967
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 6: Riley Leonard, where we know, before the ankle injury last

968
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:00,359
Speaker 6: season two years ago, he was great at scrambling and

969
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 6: Texas A and M was one of the worst defenses

970
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 6: in football last year stopping scrambling quarterbacks. So I want

971
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 6: to see if Riley Leonard, if he's got you know,

972
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 6: color in his face, if he sees maroon in his

973
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 6: face and he's like, I gotta get out of here.

974
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 6: Like how many yards does he pick up? How many

975
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,200
Speaker 6: sacks did the Irish give up. I'm really interested to

976
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 6: see what Riley Leonard does tonight with his legs.

977
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm completely there with you, because I think

978
00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 7: he's gonna be running for his life early this season

979
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 7: as these new faces on the offensive line for the

980
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:36,120
Speaker 7: Irish get settled in there.

981
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 3: They're going to start three sophomores and two freshmen.

982
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 7: I think about that. That's so that's so little experience.

983
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 7: You know, when you talk about freshmen, whether they're recher

984
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:50,920
Speaker 7: freshman or true freshmen, you are like days, not months

985
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 7: or or or years away. You're like days away from

986
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 7: your parents being mad at you for breaking curfew at home.

987
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

988
00:47:58,400 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 7: And now you'll put check being one of the faces

989
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 7: of college football at a top ten football program preseason

990
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 7: ranked with a huge task ahead of you, and I'm

991
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,080
Speaker 7: sure for many of these players they didn't realize even

992
00:48:12,120 --> 00:48:15,359
Speaker 7: though those couch conversations. When you're being recruited, whether it

993
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,480
Speaker 7: be to Notre Dame or elsewhere, and you transferred in,

994
00:48:17,840 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 7: you know you were excited for playing time. But when

995
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,280
Speaker 7: you get to that next level, the speed is intense.

996
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 7: And this A and M defensive line features one of

997
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 7: their best pass rushers since Miles Garrett In Scourton ten

998
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 7: sacks last season led the Big Ten. This is this

999
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 7: is a big deal. This is going to be a

1000
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 7: huge task for Notre Dame upfront. So very interested to

1001
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,040
Speaker 7: see how their front five handled the rush of the

1002
00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 7: A and M defensive line.

1003
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 9: Yeah, let's let's let's break it down. I'll give you

1004
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 9: the names on A and M that you know in

1005
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,319
Speaker 9: Notre Dame's offensive line might be a little bit what

1006
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 9: did you say, Brian, A little color in the face, Yeah,

1007
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 9: for a little bit. So you get Scourton again, the

1008
00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 9: number one edge rusher in the portal. He had a

1009
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:03,240
Speaker 9: twenty one percent rush win rate last year. Freakish, freakish athlete.

1010
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 9: They're saying he's going to be a top fifteen pick.

1011
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,279
Speaker 9: You've got Shamar Stewart as well, fourteen percent pressure rate

1012
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,319
Speaker 9: on rush naps last year. Elko has raved about him

1013
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,400
Speaker 9: in the offseason. That's another guy that you just have

1014
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 9: to deal with. Schamark Turners back inside, he was productive

1015
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 9: last year. You've got DJ Hicks, he was the number

1016
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,160
Speaker 9: one defensive lineman in the twenty three class. He's a

1017
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,200
Speaker 9: space eater in the middle. Cashus Howell transfer from Bowling Green.

1018
00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:27,480
Speaker 9: He had an eighteen percent pressure rate last year, ten sacks.

1019
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,720
Speaker 9: And I think Elko's gonna uplift this talent to new heights.

1020
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 2: Right.

1021
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 9: We talk about the talent. A and M's always had talent.

1022
00:49:33,440 --> 00:49:35,920
Speaker 9: It was Jimbo Fisher not being able to make that

1023
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:39,400
Speaker 9: talent be at the highest level and stay gap sound.

1024
00:49:39,360 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 9: There was a lot of hero ball for A and

1025
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 9: M's defensive front last year. I think Elko is going

1026
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 9: to clean that up. And I think that is the key.

1027
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 9: You get all this collective talent together. Can you get

1028
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 9: them to play as one fist and might not happen

1029
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,600
Speaker 9: Week one. But this defensive line at some point this

1030
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 9: year is going to be a factor and is going

1031
00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,520
Speaker 9: to wreck a game. And it could be tonight against

1032
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:03,879
Speaker 9: what is a very, as we said, inexperienced Notre Dame

1033
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 9: offensive lie.

1034
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what, man, what a phrase right there.

1035
00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:08,279
Speaker 5: Space eater?

1036
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, one time in my life, you know, I'd love

1037
00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:13,879
Speaker 6: to just gain a bunch of weight and be known

1038
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 6: as a space eater.

1039
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 8: Oh no, I used to be a space eater. I

1040
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 8: didn't like it too much.

1041
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 5: It not all it's cracked up to me.

1042
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 6: Rich, I'm really curious, man, And you can speak from experience.

1043
00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 6: You played at Penn State, major program, played in the NFL.

1044
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 6: Just think about your first major road start, right like,

1045
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 6: what that was like as an offensive lineman. What these

1046
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 6: Notre Dame offensive linemen are going to be facing with

1047
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:46,160
Speaker 6: that atmosphere over one hundred thousand yelling, screaming, the volume

1048
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 6: turned up, you can't hear the snap count, all that stuff.

1049
00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,359
Speaker 6: What was it like for you at college in the

1050
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,319
Speaker 6: NFL when you faced your first road start with the

1051
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:55,520
Speaker 6: atmosphere like that?

1052
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:56,640
Speaker 3: It's insane.

1053
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 7: It's hard to even quantify how difficult it is to

1054
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 7: manage the emotions and keep your keep yourself in I

1055
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 7: always I always put it this way, like keep the

1056
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,600
Speaker 7: small things small, like don't don't let, don't let this

1057
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 7: thing that I'm doing right here, whether it be my

1058
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 7: assignment on this play, seems so overwhelming just because the

1059
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,840
Speaker 7: environment has changed, Like that's a small thing that I

1060
00:51:23,880 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 7: could get really right, Like, so I know exactly where

1061
00:51:26,520 --> 00:51:27,960
Speaker 7: I need to be on this play, So let me

1062
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 7: just handle that and then deal with the enormity of

1063
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 7: the feelings outside of this very small moment. So it's

1064
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 7: a great question because every player has to deal with

1065
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,920
Speaker 7: that in their own way. I had a really weird

1066
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 7: way of handling it. I would I would pretend like

1067
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 7: I didn't care. Like that sounds really counterintuitive, but I

1068
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 7: would just pretend like I don't care what anybody thinks.

1069
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 7: I don't care. I don't care about these fans. I

1070
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,640
Speaker 7: don't care about my own fans, I don't care about

1071
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:59,919
Speaker 7: the Penn State fans. I don't care, Like I just care.

1072
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 7: Like it was such a selfish way to think about

1073
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 7: football in that moment, but like the only thing I

1074
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 7: cared about was just getting my job done to the

1075
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 7: best of my ability and protecting my quarterback, and it

1076
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 7: was almost like an anger, like how dare all these

1077
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 7: people interfere what I need to get done today?

1078
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:20,520
Speaker 3: Like?

1079
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,680
Speaker 7: And so I played with a chip on my shoulder

1080
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 7: and like an anger. I used all of that to

1081
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 7: fuel the fact that I'm just going to try to

1082
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:31,399
Speaker 7: make this the hardest day of that defensive lineman's life

1083
00:52:31,560 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 7: or that linebacker's life. And so I turned a lot

1084
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 7: of the atmosphere into fuel for my game. But I

1085
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 7: played a really insular position in the interior offensive line,

1086
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 7: where it's kind of like a fistfight every play. I mean,

1087
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 7: when you're the quarterback, you have to have a much

1088
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,560
Speaker 7: wider aperture. When you're a wide receiver, I mean you're

1089
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 7: you're much closer to the fans on the sideline. Sometimes

1090
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,319
Speaker 7: you're all the way out there. Sometimes you're right next

1091
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 7: to the coach on the sideline, the opposing coaches or

1092
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:03,719
Speaker 7: players and they're chirping at you.

1093
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 3: Like everybody has a different experience.

1094
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 7: But as an offensive lineman, that's how I handled those

1095
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:08,760
Speaker 7: big moments.

1096
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:10,719
Speaker 3: I try to make them as small as possible.

1097
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 9: Man, that's great perspective. Good luck finding that perspective on

1098
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 9: any other gambling show.

1099
00:53:15,160 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 8: On any other network.

1100
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 9: So here's here's like Notre Dame upside, Brian, and this

1101
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,120
Speaker 9: is as the Notre Dame fan, I'm preaching you here.

1102
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 9: I think if you can stalemate this offensive line defensive

1103
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 9: line matchup tonight, I think you've got a chance to win,

1104
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 9: because I do think A and M's offense is not

1105
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 9: gonna blow anyone away. The total in this game is

1106
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 9: very low. It's sitting in the mid forties. This isn't

1107
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:41,439
Speaker 9: gonna be like a thirty five to three kind of game.

1108
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 9: Feels like seventeen ten, twenty one, seventeen. That's kind of

1109
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 9: where I'm vibing. Yeah, can can Notre Dame play even

1110
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 9: in the trenches here? Can they figure out a way

1111
00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 9: to neutralize the pass rush? Here's the thing with Riley

1112
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 9: Leonard again pressured on a lot of dropbacks forty two

1113
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,120
Speaker 9: percent last year, but only sacked on ten percent. That

1114
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 9: is a really good pressure to sacratio. He does not

1115
00:54:02,200 --> 00:54:04,800
Speaker 9: get enough credit for that. But when he breaks contain,

1116
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,480
Speaker 9: he's not as accurate throwing downfield. That's the one number

1117
00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 9: that kind of jumped out at me. Only forty seven

1118
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,840
Speaker 9: percent of downfield passes fifteen or more yards were accurate

1119
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 9: last year. So can he be effective when he does

1120
00:54:17,120 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 9: break contain and he gets out of the pocket and

1121
00:54:20,239 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 9: he evades the rush.

1122
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 8: Can he make the play down the field?

1123
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 9: If they can make a couple of those plays and

1124
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 9: make A and M really pay for being ultra aggressive upfront,

1125
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,960
Speaker 9: I think that's where Notre Dame's got a shot. If not,

1126
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 9: I'm worried that A and M just might grind this

1127
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 9: sucker down and it just might be a little bit

1128
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:36,280
Speaker 9: too much.

1129
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 8: Pass rush for Leonard to overcome.

1130
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's for Notre Dame. It's what you're saying there, Jared.

1131
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 6: It's a little bit like the two thousand Ravens, Yeah,

1132
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 6: two thousand and two Tampa Bay Bucks where it's like,

1133
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 6: can we get up like seven to three, like all

1134
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 6: of a sudden hold up with Grease? If we're able

1135
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 6: to do that, right?

1136
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1137
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 5: Are we able to get up by a touchdown?

1138
00:54:56,520 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 6: That's like you know, that's almost like two touchdown into

1139
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 6: the matchup like this, you know what I mean? Like,

1140
00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:03,759
Speaker 6: if you can get up like that, because I'm with you,

1141
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,920
Speaker 6: then the totals ticking up. It's at forty seven and

1142
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 6: a half right now at BETMGM.

1143
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 5: I don't see this game going over at all at all.

1144
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 6: But yes, if you're able to get a lead, that

1145
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 6: is the That's the goal for the Notre Dame offense

1146
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 6: because I think they can lean on their defense quite

1147
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,399
Speaker 6: a bit in this one. Yep, all right, We've got

Speaker 3: Who do you need?

1181
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 2: Great to be back guys, thanks for having me so yeah.

1182
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 2: We will go right at noon to the first game,

1183
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 2: one of the first games in the day, Clemson Georgia A.

1184
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:22,760
Speaker 2: It's a fascinating game in terms of betting splits. Things

1185
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 2: like the whole world is betting Georgia except for the

1186
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 2: sharp money. The sharp money is pounding Clemson right now.

1187
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 2: We literally just moved to spread to eleven and a half.

1188
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 2: This was a nice fourteen in the offseason, so sharp

1189
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 2: definitely like Clemson. And seems the public is on Georgia

1190
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 2: this this week.

1191
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, which.

1192
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:47,120
Speaker 8: I sorry, no, no, no, go ahead.

1193
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 2: I was gonna say same thing with West Virginia. I

1194
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 2: think we're taking a lot of Penn State money at

1195
00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:53,320
Speaker 2: the moment on the seven and a half and when

1196
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 2: we were down at eight and a half. But West

1197
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:56,840
Speaker 2: Virginia has definitely been one of the sharper teams this

1198
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 2: weekend as well.

1199
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was gonna say, I confirm that they're there

1200
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:02,959
Speaker 9: is some very sharp action coming in on Clemson today.

1201
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 9: And do you think there's a spot shamus that we

1202
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,920
Speaker 9: see the buyback on Georgia because I'm seeing ten I

1203
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:10,479
Speaker 9: mean tens. At some point. We got to see somebody

1204
00:58:10,520 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 9: step in on the Bulldogs, right.

1205
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 2: I think if you see a flat ten, maybe it

1206
00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 2: gets there with the Georgia, but it's you know, we'll

1207
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 2: see how the money keeps coming in. We gotta have

1208
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,360
Speaker 2: about ninety minutes almost to kick off. So we'll see

1209
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 2: it's just a pretty crazy move.

1210
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 7: This close to kickoff, Penn State playing West Virginia, the

1211
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 7: backyard brawl. That's going to be a nine am kickoff

1212
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 7: here on the West coast, twelve o'clock big newon kickoff

1213
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 7: on the East coast. When we look at James Franklin

1214
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 7: and his track record as a coach who doesn't doesn't

1215
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,800
Speaker 7: only want to win, but also cover, what does that

1216
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 7: do to totals and point spreads on games that he, as

1217
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,919
Speaker 7: a head coach, whether at Penn State or else where,

1218
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 7: participates in.

1219
00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,280
Speaker 2: That states an interesting one because it's you're right, James

1220
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 2: Franklin does does seem to do that, especially you know

1221
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,880
Speaker 2: at home, and I think it gets more inferior components.

1222
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,880
Speaker 2: But this is this is this what Virginia team isn't

1223
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 2: very They're not a slous like they can't can just

1224
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 2: go into Morgantown, I think, and just expect to hang

1225
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 2: a big number. And I think the sharp money told

1226
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:15,720
Speaker 2: us that this is gonna be This is gonna be

1227
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 2: a game all the way down to seven and a half.

1228
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 6: Now, in that spreads, is there any line movement Shamus

1229
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,439
Speaker 6: that you either say, wow, that's surprising or you say

1230
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 6: I don't agree with that at all.

1231
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 5: Do you have any game that fits that description.

1232
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 2: I keep coming back to these two games anew between

1233
00:59:34,480 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 2: Penn State and West Virginia and Clemson Georgia, I mean

1234
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,720
Speaker 2: Clemson Georgia. That line's been up for months now. And

1235
00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 2: to see this late steam coming in against Georgia, a

1236
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 2: team that you could have argued was probably the best

1237
00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:50,640
Speaker 2: team in the country last year, it's it's pretty surprising. Again.

1238
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:54,080
Speaker 2: It's pretty much a home game for Georgia today as well. Yeah,

1239
00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 2: well I kind of like Clemson today, but you know

1240
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 2: that the move is still pretty pretty crazy to me.

1241
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 8: It is surprising.

1242
01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 9: I think the other interesting game that is kind of

1243
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 9: flashing and I haven't seen a ton of movement, but

1244
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 9: I'm gonna probably be on the Gators later. Every time

1245
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 9: this thing gets to three shame as it looks like

1246
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 9: that's where people are stepping in and.

1247
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 8: This is a very in state rivalry.

1248
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,440
Speaker 9: This game's gonna have some juice to it between the

1249
01:00:16,480 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 9: Gators and the Canes big time, and it's.

1250
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,480
Speaker 2: A pretty big handle so far. Coming in on the

1251
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 2: game right now. Public books like they're on Miami. I

1252
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 2: think we're gonna end up needing Florida to cover two

1253
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:30,320
Speaker 2: and a half. But you're right. Anytime this even sniffs

1254
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:33,080
Speaker 2: three Florida, money comes back in pushes it down to

1255
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 2: the two.

1256
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 3: And a half.

1257
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,760
Speaker 7: Seamus, How do you even go about quantifying putting a

1258
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 7: number on a game like Ohio State hosting Akron, like

1259
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 7: you know, it always fascinates me when I look at

1260
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:47,720
Speaker 7: where these lines open, and then I observe if there's

1261
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 7: any movement, you know, sometimes it's a point or two,

1262
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 7: usually not, though usually it stays pretty flat. How does

1263
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 7: a book even go about putting a number like that together?

1264
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 2: I mean, everyone got their own numbers. You come up

1265
01:01:02,680 --> 01:01:05,200
Speaker 2: with a number, you hang it, you see what everyone

1266
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,480
Speaker 2: else is hanging at the same time, and then usually

1267
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 2: if you're wrong, the market's going to tell you pretty quick.

1268
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 5: Yeah all right, Seamus. So how do we get rich today? Right?

1269
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 6: Shame of special time? What do you have at the

1270
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 6: top of your portfolio?

1271
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 8: Guys?

1272
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 2: I was really upset before I came on today because

1273
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 2: I was looking at this Illinois State Iowa game. I

1274
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,919
Speaker 2: loved the under forty one when it opened. I loved

1275
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,840
Speaker 2: Illinois State plus twenty four and a half, but Ducks

1276
01:01:32,920 --> 01:01:34,840
Speaker 2: pounded the under down at thirty eight and a half,

1277
01:01:34,880 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 2: and now Illinois siaks plus twenty one and a half.

1278
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 2: It's tempting at twenty one and a half, but I

1279
01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 2: don't think I can give that out as a special today.

1280
01:01:45,760 --> 01:01:47,960
Speaker 2: So I'm actually gonna go to that Ohio State game.

1281
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 2: I'm going to take the over fifty seven in that

1282
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 2: Ohio State acting game. Fifty seven and a half.

1283
01:01:53,240 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 9: Okay, how about another shame of special that I was

1284
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 9: cooking up this morning. Tennessee Tech against Middle Tennessee State.

1285
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 9: How is it'll favored by twenty six? I'm seeing some

1286
01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:06,320
Speaker 9: twenty four some twenty five's out there, first first time

1287
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 9: out of the gate for Mason, the new coach at

1288
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,400
Speaker 9: Middle and Tennessee Tech's got like all of these transfers

1289
01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,360
Speaker 9: coming in and they have a very interesting offense. I

1290
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,120
Speaker 9: think this game could be a little tighter. It's an

1291
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:17,120
Speaker 9: in state rivalry. I think they're playing for some like

1292
01:02:17,160 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 9: weird trophy. Twenty six seems like a lot for Middle

1293
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 9: to be laying.

1294
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 2: What do you think, Seamus, Middle Tennessee was a funny

1295
01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 2: team because we took some interesting bets on their over

1296
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 2: winning total this year. So and a couple of flyers

1297
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,440
Speaker 2: on them to win the conference. So I don't think

1298
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,640
Speaker 2: this Middle Tennessee team is going to be going to

1299
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 2: be that bad at all this year.

1300
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 5: Okay, well maybe I'm wrong, Samus scritch office.

1301
01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:41,000
Speaker 2: I would be very wrong.

1302
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:46,400
Speaker 3: We all are. Usually it's gonna happen. We're all knocking

1303
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 3: the rough.

1304
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 2: This is my favorite sport. It's also an incredibly dumb sports.

1305
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 6: Right, absolutely, all right, Seamus, enjoyed the games, man, We'll

Speaker 3: Man.

1309
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 6: I love that Ohio State game that Seamus mentioned, and

1310
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 6: I like that there's been a little bit of movement.

1311
01:03:03,960 --> 01:03:07,840
Speaker 6: I could just picture some player for Akron like talking

1312
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 6: to his dad or something.

1313
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 3: You know.

1314
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,800
Speaker 6: This is this is the line earlier in the week

1315
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 6: where it's like, uh so, uh have you seen the

1316
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 6: point spread?

1317
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 3: Son?

1318
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:16,880
Speaker 5: No, I haven't.

Speaker 6: Well you're a fifty and a half point underdog total.

1320
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:24,520
Speaker 5: Seven and the total sifty seven and a half.

1321
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,600

Speaker 9: Like you know what I mean, Like it's all done

1324
01:03:30,520 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 9: in an algorithm and then the market just kind of

1325
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 9: spits it out, you know, usually it's it's the sharp

1326
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 9: players that help them with games like this. They have

1327
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:40,280
Speaker 9: no idea, they have no They're just putting a number

1328
01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 9: out there.

Speaker 6: Ali Gordon is playing today for Oklahoma State. And this

1398
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,439
Speaker 6: is on the heels of I know you guys caught

1399
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:30,480
Speaker 6: this the tragedy with Johnny and Matthew Gudro where they

1400
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:34,440
Speaker 6: both died. They were on their bikes. These are brothers

1401
01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 6: in the NHL. They are in town in New Jersey

1402
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 6: for their sister's wedding. They're set to be groomsmen. They're

1403
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 6: on their bikes. They get hit by a drunk driver

1404
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:50,240
Speaker 6: and both killed. An unimaginable tragedy is how the teams

1405
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 6: described that. And it is and that's what can happen

1406
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 6: when you drive while you're loaded. So for Trevor Etn

1407
01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 6: to be held out of the game, props to Jordan,

1408
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 6: Props to Georgia, but for Oklahoma State. And remember the

1409
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 6: head coach Mike Gundhy, who was trying to explain his

1410
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 6: way through the decision of Ali Gordon not being suspended

1411
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 6: when he was driving trunk and Mike Gundy was like, hell,

1412
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,559
Speaker 6: I thought, I've done that thousands of times.

1413
01:08:18,600 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 5: Really, what are we doing right now?

1414
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:24,759
Speaker 6: It is the bare minimum where you miss at least

1415
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 6: one game. That is not like it could be half

1416
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 6: the season, it could be more than that. A bare

1417
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 6: minimum is one game. And yet Ali Gordon, who is

1418
01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 6: a stud awesome running back, He'll be on the field

1419
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,680
Speaker 6: against the jack Rabbits today. Sorry, go jack Rabbits. That

1420
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:42,200
Speaker 6: is a pathetic decision by Oklahoma State.

1421
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 3: I agree. I think that people should be given second chances.

1422
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 7: Mistakes are made, and obviously certain mistakes, especially involving a

1423
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 7: loss as great as what we were just discussing with

1424
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:59,080
Speaker 7: the hockey players. You know, there are certain things that

1425
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,360
Speaker 7: will follow you the rest of your life, as they

1426
01:09:01,400 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 7: should because those are you know, those are mistakes that

1427
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 7: where something was taken that can't be.

1428
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 3: Taken back.

1429
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 7: But in the case of getting caught doing something you're

1430
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:16,479
Speaker 7: not supposed to do, right in a situation like this,

1431
01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 7: let's be very honest with each other. I don't think

1432
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 7: that Ali Gordon or anybody who's made a mistake like

1433
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 7: that or Mike Gundhy for that matter, should spend the

1434
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 7: rest of their life, you know, paying or repenting for

1435
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:36,559
Speaker 7: that mistake. However, like you gotta teach lessons, you know

1436
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,040
Speaker 7: what I mean, Like there has to be consequences, There

1437
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 7: has to be something felt in order to learn from something.

1438
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 7: So kind of like the side story to all of

1439
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,080
Speaker 7: this is what does Gordon learn in all of this?

1440
01:09:50,680 --> 01:09:54,000
Speaker 7: What he learns is I'm too important to be punished

1441
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,599
Speaker 7: and it sets a precedent for a football program that

1442
01:09:57,680 --> 01:10:00,360
Speaker 7: doesn't just affect your team now, but this echo into

1443
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:00,920
Speaker 7: the future.

1444
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:04,160
Speaker 3: I think this is an awful way.

1445
01:10:04,160 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 7: To begin a season for for Gundy in his program.

1446
01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:11,320
Speaker 7: I especially when you see and I'm not saying Kirby

1447
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:14,400
Speaker 7: Smart does everything perfectly, especially when you see what George

1448
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 7: is doing, especially when you look at their running back room,

1449
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,759
Speaker 7: because they really need a healthy starting running back today.

1450
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:25,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, that's what makes it even more I would say impressive.

1451
01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:28,679
Speaker 9: I nothing about the story is impressive, obviously with the duy,

1452
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:32,920
Speaker 9: but I think the you know, accountability nature of it

1453
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 9: is what at least you can hang your hat on

1454
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 9: as moving forward.

1455
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 8: I'm sure ATM is gonna learn from this.

1456
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 9: And on the other side, if it was anybody but

1457
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:42,519
Speaker 9: Ali Gordon, right, if it was the second string running

1458
01:10:42,520 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 9: back or the third string running back on Oklahoma State,

1459
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 9: what are the odds that that player is suspended for

1460
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 9: this game? Like if it was anybody but the star,

1461
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 9: And that is a dangerous, dangerous precedent to set. We

1462
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 9: already have an accountability problem in this society. Nobody has

1463
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:00,400
Speaker 9: ever wrong.

1464
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 3: Ever.

1465
01:11:01,040 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 9: Just go to social media for like thirty seconds and

1466
01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 9: see if anyone ever apologizes for anything.

1467
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 3: Ever.

1468
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:09,679
Speaker 9: It's just a cesspool and that is not helping, especially

1469
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:11,400
Speaker 9: when you have a He's a kid, it's one thing

1470
01:11:11,439 --> 01:11:13,439
Speaker 9: of an adult makes that mistake, you should know better.

1471
01:11:13,680 --> 01:11:15,799
Speaker 9: He's a kid, he's a teenager. He's gonna make mistakes.

1472
01:11:16,160 --> 01:11:20,520
Speaker 9: You take accountability for the mistake. You punish the kid accordingly.

1473
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:22,519
Speaker 9: Punishment fits the crime. In this case, I think one

1474
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 9: game was fair and yeah, then the explanation afterwards that

1475
01:11:26,320 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 9: was even worse.

1476
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, he made it worse.

1477
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:29,800
Speaker 8: I remember we talked about this over the summer. It

1478
01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:32,560
Speaker 8: was not a shining moment I think in Stillwater.

1479
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:35,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, this was a portion of what Mike Gundy had

1480
01:11:35,479 --> 01:11:38,880
Speaker 6: to say. This was during Big twelve media days and

1481
01:11:39,400 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 6: again the star running back Ali Gordon he was driving

1482
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:46,360
Speaker 6: drunk and no suspension, and so the head coach, Mike Gundy,

1483
01:11:46,439 --> 01:11:49,320
Speaker 6: was trying to explain how he came to this decision

1484
01:11:49,920 --> 01:11:53,040
Speaker 6: to not suspend Oli Gordon for any length of time.

1485
01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 5: Here's what he said.

1486
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:55,640
Speaker 3: I looked it up on my phone.

1487
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 13: What would be the legal limit, like in Oklahoma's point

1488
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:04,800
Speaker 13: zero eight and Allie was point one. So I looked

1489
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:09,240
Speaker 13: it up and it was based on body weight. Not

1490
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 13: to get into the legal side of it, but I thought, really,

1491
01:12:12,200 --> 01:12:15,080
Speaker 13: two or three beers or four I'm not justifying what

1492
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 13: all he did. I'm telling you what decision I made. Well,

1493
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:19,840
Speaker 13: I thought I've probably done that a thousand times in

1494
01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 13: my life.

1495
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 5: Bro come off, yeah read the room. What Yeah.

1496
01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:30,240
Speaker 7: Well, it's also like, okay, so you may disagree with

1497
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:31,080
Speaker 7: the rules.

1498
01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:33,439
Speaker 3: You may not love the fact that.

1499
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 7: I don't know, for example, you're not allowed to steal signs, right,

1500
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 7: you know you're playing a football game, and wouldn't it

1501
01:12:40,800 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 7: be easier if you could send some advanced scouts to

1502
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:47,840
Speaker 7: another team's games and have somebody.

1503
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 3: Videotape their sideline.

1504
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 7: Well, I mean they're just at that point, they're just

1505
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:54,720
Speaker 7: a fan in attendance, right, you know, they're just videotaping

1506
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 7: something that anybody else in the stadium could videotape, Like,

1507
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 7: why not us and then use that to our competitive advantage.

1508
01:13:01,880 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 7: Well no, no, hang on, that's a rule. And if

1509
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:06,960
Speaker 7: you violate that rule, whether you think that rule is

1510
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 7: smart or stupid, that's a rule you can't you can't

1511
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 7: break in college football, right you know, And so that's

1512
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 7: why the Michigan Wolverines football program was investigated. Now that

1513
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 7: we're just talking about a college football violation, right, we're

1514
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 7: talking about a game's rules. Now you're talking about the

1515
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:26,760
Speaker 7: rules of the game of life. Right, I get it.

1516
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 7: Maybe you think, Mike Gundhi that you can handle two

1517
01:13:30,439 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 7: to four beers and go driving around, But that's not

1518
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:37,360
Speaker 7: the point.

1519
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 3: That is not the point.

1520
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:43,439
Speaker 7: There are rules put in place to protect people, generally speaking,

1521
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 7: or in the case of the example I used about

1522
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 7: college football, to protect the integrity of the game. So

1523
01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 7: even if you find the rules of drinking and driving

1524
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:58,720
Speaker 7: or driving while intoxicated disagreeable, well take that up with

1525
01:13:58,880 --> 01:13:59,519
Speaker 7: the government.

1526
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 3: You don't preach to your players like hey, listen.

1527
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:05,360
Speaker 7: These rules are dumb, and we'll do it our way,

1528
01:14:05,600 --> 01:14:08,440
Speaker 7: because that is what Ali Gordon learned.

1529
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 3: In this whole exchange.

1530
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 7: It's an unfortunate precedent center for his football program, and

1531
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:17,040
Speaker 7: I hope they revert course because somebody could get really hurt,

1532
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 7: like we saw in that story you brought up earlier.

1533
01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:21,599
Speaker 5: Brian, Yeah, I know it.

1534
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 6: And thankfully it didn't happen with Ali Gordon or Trevor ETN.

1535
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 6: I mean, thank god it didn't happen there.

1536
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:30,599
Speaker 5: But that's the thing. It can It can.

1537
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:34,599
Speaker 6: Happen if you're driving under the influence and you're above

1538
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 6: the legal limit. Yeah, you can have a situation where

1539
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 6: your car, your truck, whatever you're driving turns into a weapon,

1540
01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:42,000
Speaker 6: you know.

1541
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:45,519
Speaker 5: And to not have that lesson hit home.

1542
01:14:45,880 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 6: And I thought you said it great, Rich where what

1543
01:14:48,400 --> 01:14:51,680
Speaker 6: Ali Gordon learned was I'm too important to get suspended?

1544
01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:53,599
Speaker 5: Like does that help them going forward?

1545
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 6: In lively the lesson you want to teach right there,

1546
01:14:57,080 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 6: But they chose football over doing the right thing. That's

1547
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:03,479
Speaker 6: what Oklahoma State did. There's no denying that, and I

1548
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 6: think that's a shame. All right, We've got rich Oornberger,

1549
01:15:05,880 --> 01:15:09,760

Speaker 3: Huh.

1553
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,360
Speaker 6: It was a tough conversation with driving drunk and the

1554
01:15:18,400 --> 01:15:21,680
Speaker 6: tragedy that happened with the NHL players shout out to

1555
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:22,320
Speaker 6: their families.

1556
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 5: Man in frims, that.

1557
01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,880
Speaker 6: Was tough, awful, But we try to turn the page

1558
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:32,080

Speaker 5: All right, let's dive into this.

1572
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,560
Speaker 4: Prop it up player plays.

1573
01:16:12,720 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 5: Okay, prop bets go, Lord Jared. We'll start with you.

1574
01:16:16,080 --> 01:16:18,120
Speaker 5: So many options? What do you have circled here?

1575
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:21,759
Speaker 9: Yeah, we've got an interesting matchup here again, this Georgia

1576
01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:25,000
Speaker 9: Clemson game. The number keeps falling. I think at ten

1577
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 9: I'm gonna get involved with Georgia. We'll see if we

1578
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:29,840
Speaker 9: get there. But I think on the prop side, I mean,

1579
01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 9: I'll be honest, we have a pretty easy situation here

1580
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:37,280
Speaker 9: in the running game for Georgia because everyone's out except

1581
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:41,000
Speaker 9: for their third stringer Branson Robinson. I'm seeing his touchdown

1582
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 9: props a little bit heavy today for me, but.

1583
01:16:43,240 --> 01:16:45,120
Speaker 8: Pil Mafas isn't. I was shocked.

1584
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 9: I saw film Mafa's touchdown prop at plus money. Again,

1585
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 9: this is the bell cow for Clemson's backfield. He scored

1586
01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,720
Speaker 9: thirteen touchdowns last year, so I would if you want

1587
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 9: to do a little touchdown. I know this isn't part

1588
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:59,679
Speaker 9: of the parlay platter, but a little touchdown parlay platter

1589
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:01,320
Speaker 9: in this game. Again, it's a low total, so I

1590
01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,479
Speaker 9: wouldn't add a third leg to it. But I think

1591
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,640
Speaker 9: both running backs Robinson for Georgia, who's a little bit

1592
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:09,040
Speaker 9: heavier of a price, and MafA for Clemson, who is

1593
01:17:09,080 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 9: a plus money price, I would bet that one's solo.

1594
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 9: Those are the touchdown props I would circle in this

1595
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 9: Georgia Clemson matter.

1596
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 7: Okay, I really love Riley Leonard and the impact he's

1597
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 7: gonna have this pickup from the portal for Notre Dame.

1598
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,679
Speaker 7: But I think he's gonna be running for his life

1599
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 7: early this season. We talked about the inexperienced offensive line

1600
01:17:30,120 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 7: protecting him. How fierce Texas A and m Maggie's are

1601
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:36,040
Speaker 7: up front on the defensive line. So I'm gonna take

1602
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,479
Speaker 7: the over on the thirty one and a half rushing

1603
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 7: yards today for Riley Leonard, I think he's gonna get

1604
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 7: outside the pocket and have to create with his feet.

1605
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 3: Also, he can be used as a dual.

1606
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:50,600
Speaker 7: Threat quarterback at times, staying on the rushing props. Nicholas Singleton,

1607
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:55,000
Speaker 7: Penn State running back backyard brawl heading to West Virginia.

1608
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 7: I think they're gonna have to lean on the rushing

1609
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:01,240
Speaker 7: attack at times to make some hay ufly in this

1610
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:06,200
Speaker 7: this new offense, new voice as an offensive coordinator for

1611
01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 7: the Nittany Lions. I like Singleton going over sixty three

1612
01:18:10,080 --> 01:18:13,440
Speaker 7: and a half rushing yards today for PSU.

1613
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 6: Okay, listen a little backdrop because we have a little

1614
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:21,200
Speaker 6: bit of time here. I think I'm I think I'm

1615
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:24,960
Speaker 6: cursed with some of these prop Thats what happened last week?

1616
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 3: I didn't even remember.

1617
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, a couple of great starts and not great finishes.

1618
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 6: So I had Florida State running back Lawrence Toa feeling

1619
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:36,719
Speaker 6: over forty and a half rushing yards, had a twenty

1620
01:18:36,720 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 6: eight yard touchdown rush on the first series. I'm like,

1621
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 6: all right, we're in business. Didn't get there, didn't get there.

1622
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 6: And then last night I had Jalil Farouk wide receiver

1623
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 6: for Oklahoma and he gets fifty receiving yards. He had

1624
01:18:51,800 --> 01:18:55,720
Speaker 6: a forty seven yard catch on the first drive. We

1625
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 6: need three more yards here against Temple. We should be

1626
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 6: get broken out for eight weeks.

1627
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 8: No more props for Brian for the rest of the year.

1628
01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's it.

1629
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:10,719
Speaker 8: You've really that's awful. That is an awful Yes, awful.

1630
01:19:10,800 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 3: It really is.

1631
01:19:11,800 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 6: So like hot start equals unpleasant finish.

1632
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:17,799
Speaker 5: So far as what's going on with me, I'm gonna say.

1633
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:19,880
Speaker 7: I'm gonna say, you know what, you know what, Shake

1634
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 7: it off, Shake it off, buddy, I like Saro.

1635
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 3: Does he even count?

1636
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:23,360
Speaker 9: He?

1637
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 3: Cao is not a number.

1638
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:26,000
Speaker 8: Zero's not a number, so it doesn't matter.

1639
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:32,200
Speaker 6: Okay, So one had to get discarded. I had Dylan Ryola,

1640
01:19:32,880 --> 01:19:37,400
Speaker 6: who's baby mahomes right over there at Nebraska making his

1641
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:40,439
Speaker 6: first college start. I had him throwing at least two

1642
01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:44,599
Speaker 6: touchdown passes against UTEP today, but the juice skyrocketed. It's

1643
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:48,000
Speaker 6: up to like minus one eight five now on bet MGM,

1644
01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:51,559
Speaker 6: So I won't have that as an official pick. I'm

1645
01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:54,600
Speaker 6: gonna go with this Clemson Georgia game. Dominic love it.

1646
01:19:55,080 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 6: They're gonna have to throw it. I like Carson back

1647
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 6: a lot, you know, give me love it over fifty

1648
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:01,960
Speaker 6: one and a half receiving yards.

1649
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 5: I love it myself. And now I'm betting on Georgia's defense.

1650
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 6: I know they're not what they once weren't, but I'll

1651
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:10,080
Speaker 6: fade Phil MafA, who I like a lot as a

1652
01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:12,960
Speaker 6: running back. But seventy one and a half rushing yards

1653
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:14,959
Speaker 6: against Georgia, I'm gonna.

1654
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 5: Take the under on that one. So those are my

1655
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 5: two plays in that game.

1656
01:20:18,439 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 3: Very cool. I don't hate him.

1657
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 9: Okay, Malfa finds the end zone though, I think at

1658
01:20:22,439 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 9: least they're gonna try to get him into the end zone.

1659
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, hey, that's true.

1660
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 6: He might get off to like zero yards in the

1661
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 6: first three quarters and get there in the fourth somehow,

1662
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,919
Speaker 6: and entire philosophy will be on the line today. Oh,

1663
01:20:35,040 --> 01:20:38,640
Speaker 6: happy Saturday to you Week one college football.

1664
01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 5: Let's get after it.

1665
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 6: We're less than an hour away from kickoff over here.

1666
01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 5: And how about this.

1667
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:48,720
Speaker 6: We get a couple of great games right out of

1668
01:20:48,720 --> 01:20:52,320
Speaker 6: the right out of the shoot here, Clemson against Georgia.

1669
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:56,600
Speaker 6: We get Penn State at West Virginia. Let's reset this

1670
01:20:56,680 --> 01:21:00,400
Speaker 6: Clemson Georgia matchup, because man, the line movement is all

1671
01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 6: over the place. Like Seamus McGee from bet MGM told

1672
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 6: this last hour, a lot of sharp money on Clemson.

1673
01:21:06,680 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 6: The line is ticked down gradually right now at the second,

1674
01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 6: it's eleven and a half that Georgia is favored by

1675
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:17,599
Speaker 6: against Clemson. And to me, guys, I think that an

1676
01:21:17,800 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 6: entire philosophy is on center stage today with Dabo Sweeney,

1677
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:26,639
Speaker 6: who will not embrace the transfer portal. He is giving

1678
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 6: the heisman straight arm to the transfer portal. And he

1679
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:33,840
Speaker 6: said this. This is one of the notable quotes from

1680
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 6: the offseason. Dabo said, honestly, every player is technically a transfer.

1681
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,479
Speaker 6: We just signed a whole class of guys transferring from

1682
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 6: high school.

1683
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,599
Speaker 8: Oh please, I know, I know.

1684
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:48,960
Speaker 6: But going up against Georgia in a matchup like this,

1685
01:21:49,120 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 6: you know as well as I do. If Clemson loses decisively,

1686
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:55,840
Speaker 6: this is gonna be a main talking point is Clemson's

1687
01:21:55,880 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 6: head coach just will not embrace the transfer portal and

1688
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 6: pretty much which everybody else in college football is you

1689
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 6: can't get dusted while doing something unconventional and skate right.

1690
01:22:08,200 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 6: You are going to be called out to the nth

1691
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 6: degree if you're unconventional and losing and losing big, which

1692
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:17,679
Speaker 6: they could lose in a big way to Georgia today.

1693
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 7: Well, and there's a lot of stake for Georgia as

1694
01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 7: well if you think about the recent history of this

1695
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:29,000
Speaker 7: incredible football program. They're looking to win their third national

1696
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 7: championship game in four years. They play this game on

1697
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:35,880
Speaker 7: the road, neutral site, but on the road, and then

1698
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:39,240
Speaker 7: they also have other top ten SEC opponents on the

1699
01:22:39,280 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 7: road coming up as well, Alabama, Texas, Ole miss.

1700
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 3: This is huge for the Bulldogs.

1701
01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 7: You cannot start your season off on a sour note.

1702
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 7: This is one of those games where if you lose it,

1703
01:22:54,600 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 7: If somehow you lose this game, this could taint the

1704
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:02,559
Speaker 7: entire rest of the season because of the level of

1705
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 7: competition you're playing against for the rest of the season.

1706
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:08,839
Speaker 7: This could rattle your confidence and not everything is perfect

1707
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:11,559
Speaker 7: for the Bulldogs. I know that they're short up pretty

1708
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:14,679
Speaker 7: well at quarterback, but if they're in a situation where

1709
01:23:14,720 --> 01:23:17,439
Speaker 7: they need to rely on the run game, they're turning to,

1710
01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:22,000
Speaker 7: you know, injured and inexperienced players to help toe the

1711
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:24,439
Speaker 7: rock for them Today. This is gonna be It's gonna

1712
01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 7: be an interesting game, especially the first quarter of this game.

1713
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:32,480
Speaker 7: Very curious to see what Georgia does offensively against the Tigers.

1714
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:36,559
Speaker 9: Yeah, the backfield is gonna be in flux. You're gonna

1715
01:23:36,600 --> 01:23:40,880
Speaker 9: hear guys Cash Jones, Nate Jones, guys that are freshman,

1716
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:43,960
Speaker 9: the third stringers in the right now. These are very

1717
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:47,840
Speaker 9: talented players, but these are not highly regarded players, at

1718
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 9: least in this particular cycle.

1719
01:23:50,800 --> 01:23:51,759
Speaker 8: I'm interested to see.

1720
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:54,360
Speaker 9: How Mike Bobo, the Georgia offensive coordinator, calls the game.

1721
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 9: Because Clemson knows that they're limited in the backfield, so

1722
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 9: does Clemson shit a little bit towards defending the pass,

1723
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 9: which is actually a weakness of Clemson because they're a

1724
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 9: little bit banged up in the secondary. As well again,

1725
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 9: their number two corner situation very much in flux. They've

1726
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:12,720
Speaker 9: got a couple of guys that are going through some

1727
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:15,880
Speaker 9: injuries here in the early stage of the season. Are

1728
01:24:15,880 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 9: we gonna see tempo from Georgia? Are we gonna see

1729
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:22,280
Speaker 9: Carson Beck really take the offense on his shoulders? We

1730
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:25,200
Speaker 9: talked about this with Drew Aller. The average depth of

1731
01:24:25,280 --> 01:24:28,799
Speaker 9: target just you know, minuscule for him. Check down, Charlie

1732
01:24:28,880 --> 01:24:31,720
Speaker 9: Dinkin dunk Drew. Well, you know, Carson Beck's not that

1733
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:35,160
Speaker 9: much better, actually, Carson, check down Carson. He is one

1734
01:24:35,240 --> 01:24:38,080
Speaker 9: hundred and fourteenth on the average depth of target list

1735
01:24:38,080 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 9: from last year. Just not a guy that's made a

1736
01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 9: lot of those big time throws yet. We'll see what

1737
01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:46,759
Speaker 9: he's asked to do today. But this is a spot

1738
01:24:46,800 --> 01:24:49,240
Speaker 9: for Clemson that they're not in often, but when they are,

1739
01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:52,679
Speaker 9: they've been pretty successful. How about this Dabo Sweeney twelve

1740
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 9: and one against the number as an underdog of five

1741
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 9: or more points, five and one against the spread in

1742
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 9: his last six against the number one team in the country,

1743
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 9: according to the eight people they tend to manage up

1744
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,479
Speaker 9: in class. Now, last time they played this game, they

1745
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:09,760
Speaker 9: got absolutely smoked. But I think when they manage up

1746
01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 9: in class, they tend to play well. We'll see if

1747
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 9: we get a bounce back effort today after what happened

1748
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:17,719
Speaker 9: in prior years with these teams. But I'll be honest,

1749
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:20,600
Speaker 9: this is a Clemson team that is a little feisty

1750
01:25:21,240 --> 01:25:23,960
Speaker 9: and George's got some questions. So that's why you're seeing

1751
01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:25,280
Speaker 9: this number come down.

1752
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:26,200
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what.

1753
01:25:26,400 --> 01:25:29,439
Speaker 6: I don't think it makes sense for Dabo Sweeney to

1754
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:35,320
Speaker 6: be completely dismissive of the transfer portal. You know, maybe

1755
01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 6: you want to you know, you want to add a

1756
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 6: little here, add a little there. You don't want to

1757
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:44,080
Speaker 6: be completely reliant upon it. Fine, but to completely dismiss it,

1758
01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 6: I don't agree with that. But let me give you

1759
01:25:46,160 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 6: a rant real fast.

1760
01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's hear it. Yeah, I've been waiting for the

1761
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 3: day long.

1762
01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:54,360
Speaker 6: Here's the thing, all right, Dabo is gonna like this,

1763
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 6: but hear me out on this.

1764
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 5: A little bit of nuance.

1765
01:25:58,840 --> 01:26:03,599
Speaker 6: Everything I read about any team adding any player from

1766
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 6: the transfer portal, it is oozing with positivity. I'm sure

1767
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:09,720
Speaker 6: you've read all this stuff as well, where it's like

1768
01:26:10,120 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 6: Team X has bolstered their defensive line with this random

1769
01:26:14,040 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 6: dude from the portal.

1770
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 5: They've strengthened their secondary.

1771
01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 6: They've solidified their secondary with this random dude from some

1772
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:23,759
Speaker 6: other team. Listen, it's a lot like NFL free agency.

1773
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 6: Not every NFL free agency helps.

1774
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:27,480
Speaker 5: His new team.

1775
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:30,800
Speaker 6: Okay, there are some free agents that do. There are

1776
01:26:30,840 --> 01:26:33,320
Speaker 6: a lot that don't. It's the same thing with the

1777
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 6: transfer portal. So everything I read about any team and

1778
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 6: any players they've added through the portal, it's like, Oh,

1779
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 6: they're set. They've added this random dude from UTEP.

1780
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 5: They're good.

1781
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:45,240
Speaker 3: You know.

1782
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:50,240
Speaker 6: It's like if you hit the transfer portal in life,

1783
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 6: you don't always upgrade. If you hit the portal for

1784
01:26:53,479 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 6: a new job, it's not guaranteed to be better. If

1785
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:59,560
Speaker 6: you hit the portal for a new girlfriend, not guaranteed

1786
01:26:59,560 --> 01:26:59,960
Speaker 6: to be better.

1787
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:00,760
Speaker 3: You know.

1788
01:27:01,240 --> 01:27:02,559
Speaker 5: It's case by case.

1789
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 6: So I'm sick and tired of reading every team and

1790
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:07,960
Speaker 6: how they've upgraded through the portal.

1791
01:27:08,479 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 5: I've yet to read one.

1792
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 6: Column that says, hey, they've upgraded. They've added this guy,

1793
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 6: this guy, this guy. But honestly, they might all sound.

1794
01:27:18,280 --> 01:27:21,080
Speaker 6: I haven't heard read any of that, And it's just

1795
01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 6: something to keep in mind that not every dude added

1796
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:26,919
Speaker 6: through the portal is an automatic upgrade.

1797
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 5: It's just not the case.

1798
01:27:28,520 --> 01:27:31,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, Dabosweena and Sweeney is going to send you the check.

1799
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 7: I mean it's in the midd No, you got a

1800
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 7: great point, So let's just talk about differences in systems.

1801
01:27:39,520 --> 01:27:42,519
Speaker 7: I played with the player who's famous both for what

1802
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 7: he did on the field during his NFL career but

1803
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:46,679
Speaker 7: what he's done since then.

1804
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:47,400
Speaker 3: He's one of the.

1805
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 7: Most affable, likable characters that's ever played professional sports, Chado

1806
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:55,800
Speaker 7: Cho Cinco. When he was playing for the Cincinnati Bengals,

1807
01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 7: he was incredible. When he played for the New England

1808
01:27:59,240 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 7: Patriots when he was a teammate of mine, he was not.

1809
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,920
Speaker 7: He had a hard time adjusting to that system. So

1810
01:28:05,960 --> 01:28:08,240
Speaker 7: he was signed to the New England Patriots to do

1811
01:28:08,320 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 7: what he did in Cincinnati, obviously, and he couldn't do it.

1812
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:16,439
Speaker 7: And there were issues catching up to the requests and

1813
01:28:16,479 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 7: the requirements of that playbook. That was a big problem.

1814
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:22,760
Speaker 7: There were things that he was asked to do in

1815
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:25,280
Speaker 7: that Patriot system that he was not asked to do

1816
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 7: as a Bengal and it didn't work.

1817
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:31,839
Speaker 3: So to your point, Brian, there are times at.

1818
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 7: The collegiate level certainly at the NFL level, where a

1819
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:37,479
Speaker 7: player moves on from one place and looks great, moves

1820
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 7: on to the next and looks so great, and that matters.

1821
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:46,240
Speaker 7: It changes of environment and coaching and structure, all that matters.

1822
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, there's I told you guys the story last week.

1823
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 9: When I was, you know, working as an intern for

1824
01:28:52,760 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 9: a minor league baseball team in two thousand and nine,

1825
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:56,360
Speaker 9: I was like, what's this stupid Twitter thing that you're.

1826
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:58,360
Speaker 8: Making me do? Yeah, this is this is dumb. This

1827
01:28:58,400 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 8: is never gonna catch on.

1828
01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 9: Who cares what Beney Spears is doing with her like

1829
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 9: at that time, it was really just like celebrities telling you.

1830
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:04,719
Speaker 8: What they were doing.

1831
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:10,040
Speaker 9: You've got to evolve at some point. I think this

1832
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 9: is going to be kind of a tipping.

1833
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:14,440
Speaker 8: Point year for Dabo and this program.

1834
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:18,200
Speaker 9: If they are successful in this new climate with their

1835
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:22,400
Speaker 9: old school regime, then Dabo's still probably gonna hold on

1836
01:29:22,479 --> 01:29:25,599
Speaker 9: for dear life and continue to operate this way. If

1837
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:28,639
Speaker 9: Georgia wins by forty today and Clemson, you know, barely

1838
01:29:28,680 --> 01:29:30,640
Speaker 9: makes a Bowl game because they just don't have the

1839
01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:32,880
Speaker 9: depth and don't have the talent to compete in a

1840
01:29:33,080 --> 01:29:37,479
Speaker 9: very changing, very difficult college football landscape, Well, then Clemson's

1841
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 9: gonna have some tough questions to answer. I mean again,

1842
01:29:40,240 --> 01:29:41,720
Speaker 9: I don't want to go two nuts from what we

1843
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 9: saw last year because it was year one of a

1844
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:45,760
Speaker 9: new offense and it was a trans Last year really

1845
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,280
Speaker 9: was a transition year for them. I think this year

1846
01:29:48,320 --> 01:29:50,400
Speaker 9: they should feel a little more settled with Club Nick

1847
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:51,679
Speaker 9: and Garrett Riley as the OC.

1848
01:29:52,439 --> 01:29:55,120
Speaker 8: The defense did lose a lot, and that's the key.

1849
01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:55,719
Speaker 8: You get five.

1850
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:59,080
Speaker 9: How often is Clemson a five players drafted on defense?

1851
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:02,200
Speaker 9: Three of their most efficient defenders, They lost their top

1852
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:05,479
Speaker 9: pressure guy, they lost a starting safety that took more

1853
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:08,280
Speaker 9: NIL money to go to Texas. They're trying to find

1854
01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 9: a new green dock communicator. Right, There's gonna be radios

1855
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:13,479
Speaker 9: in the in the helmets this year for the defenders

1856
01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:16,400
Speaker 9: as well. Jeremiah Trotter, who was that guy last year,

1857
01:30:16,479 --> 01:30:18,680
Speaker 9: kind of the signal caller, he's gone. So there's just

1858
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:20,760
Speaker 9: a lot of transition for this Clemson defense. And when

1859
01:30:20,800 --> 01:30:23,759
Speaker 9: you don't have as even if they're not good players,

1860
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,160
Speaker 9: you're bringing in depth. You're bringing in warm bodies to

1861
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 9: kind of refill the you know.

1862
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 8: Stack the cupboards.

1863
01:30:29,479 --> 01:30:32,639
Speaker 9: And if those cupboards become bear well, then Dabo's gonna

1864
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 9: have some answering to do. It's not an easy thing

1865
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,719
Speaker 9: in this college football landscape to keep these kids fresh

1866
01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 9: and to keep them engaged. But this is a big

1867
01:30:39,920 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 9: year for Clemson and a big game for them to

1868
01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:44,519
Speaker 9: show that they can still compete at the highest level

1869
01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:45,879
Speaker 9: against the best athletes.

1870
01:30:46,160 --> 01:30:49,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, and I think that Dabo Sweeney he reminds me

1871
01:30:49,439 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 6: of Coach K quite a bit. Remember when Coach K

1872
01:30:52,439 --> 01:30:55,560
Speaker 6: was at Duke, and at first he was not embracing

1873
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:59,040
Speaker 6: the one and duns. He's like, yeah, I don't know,

1874
01:30:59,080 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 6: they're here. One year they're off to the NBA. It's

1875
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:06,000
Speaker 6: hard to get chemistry and build continuity. And then he changed,

1876
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:08,400
Speaker 6: he adapted. He was like, I'm kind of missing out

1877
01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:11,879
Speaker 6: on some great talent over here, you know, and he adapted.

1878
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:14,599
Speaker 6: I think that's what Dabo Sweeney needs to do. I

1879
01:31:14,680 --> 01:31:18,719
Speaker 6: really do like you can upgrade your roster through the portal.

1880
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:22,080
Speaker 6: It isn't an automatic, it's not guaranteed, right, I've gone

1881
01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:24,400
Speaker 6: through that whole rant, But I think that you can

1882
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 6: certainly upgrade your roster at a major program like Clemson

1883
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 6: if you're open to doing that. I just I don't

1884
01:31:32,840 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 6: think it makes sense to not adapt to that. Something

1885
01:31:36,040 --> 01:31:39,560
Speaker 6: else that's gonna be interesting is Garrett Riley, the offensive

1886
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:44,760
Speaker 6: coordinator think about his offense is at SMU, at TCU,

1887
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:47,719
Speaker 6: we're wide open, we're throwing it, We're chucking it left

1888
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:51,280
Speaker 6: and right. And Dabo's a lot more conservative than that.

1889
01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:54,200
Speaker 6: So I want to see how these guys mesh together.

1890
01:31:54,760 --> 01:31:57,000
Speaker 6: And if Dabo he seems like the guy that's got

1891
01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:00,640
Speaker 6: his arms folded, scowl on his face, like portal, you know,

1892
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:04,160
Speaker 6: might open throwing off at DA you had to pound

1893
01:32:04,200 --> 01:32:07,519
Speaker 6: of rock, right like. I think there are bits and

1894
01:32:07,560 --> 01:32:11,559
Speaker 6: pieces where Dabo has got to adapt and it's probably

1895
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:15,719
Speaker 6: challenging for it because he's been so successful before. Yeah,

1896
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:17,360
Speaker 6: and I think that you can be set in your

1897
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:20,160
Speaker 6: ways to a fault. I think he's gotta grow, I

1898
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:22,120
Speaker 6: really do. And I think this is a year where

1899
01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 6: is he gonna grow or is he gonna stay the same?

1900
01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:29,519
Speaker 7: The transfer portal is a little bit like furniture shopping.

1901
01:32:30,040 --> 01:32:33,360
Speaker 7: You've already bought the house, you already know what you

1902
01:32:33,439 --> 01:32:35,559
Speaker 7: want the room to look like, but you just need

1903
01:32:35,600 --> 01:32:38,160
Speaker 7: a new couch, you know what I mean. So you

1904
01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:40,040
Speaker 7: go to the store and you say, ah, you know what,

1905
01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:42,680
Speaker 7: that looks pretty good on the showroom floor. And sometimes

1906
01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:44,680
Speaker 7: you bring it home and you're like, perfect, this was

1907
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:48,480
Speaker 7: the missing piece, this is what we needed. It sometimes

1908
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:51,000
Speaker 7: doesn't work out. Sometimes you put the couch in your

1909
01:32:51,000 --> 01:32:54,880
Speaker 7: living room, you go, I hate it, or it's too low,

1910
01:32:55,520 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 7: it's hurting my back when I try to get out

1911
01:32:57,920 --> 01:32:58,439
Speaker 7: of this thing.

1912
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 3: Oh it's a war couch.

1913
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:03,160
Speaker 7: But sometimes you know, because you already have a feel

1914
01:33:03,240 --> 01:33:06,320
Speaker 7: for the fun schway of the place, you know it's

1915
01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:09,799
Speaker 7: gonna work. And so Dabo Sweeney or any coach who's

1916
01:33:09,840 --> 01:33:13,040
Speaker 7: reluctant to throw into the transfer portal.

1917
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:17,120
Speaker 3: If you've ever been furniture shopping, you already know how

1918
01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:17,760
Speaker 3: to do this.

1919
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:22,519
Speaker 7: It's just you got to do it. It's where we're

1920
01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 7: at in college football. You have to do it. You

1921
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 7: have to participate, otherwise you're gonna get left in the dust.

1922
01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:32,280
Speaker 9: Like you said, Brian, is there a threshold where you

1923
01:33:32,280 --> 01:33:37,040
Speaker 9: know it becomes unmanageable for Clemson to, you know, just

1924
01:33:37,040 --> 01:33:39,879
Speaker 9: justify the style that they're running their program.

1925
01:33:40,080 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 6: I think if they run it back, Jared, if this

1926
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 6: is another single digit win season, I mean, what more

1927
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 6: evidence do you know?

1928
01:33:45,920 --> 01:33:47,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.

1929
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:51,040
Speaker 9: Mean the schedule is relatively easy after this game. I mean,

1930
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:52,840
Speaker 9: they get NC State at home, they have to go

1931
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:54,720
Speaker 9: to Florida State, who just lost to Georgia Tech. I

1932
01:33:54,720 --> 01:33:57,720
Speaker 9: think Florida State will improve, but I don't see a

1933
01:33:57,760 --> 01:33:59,560
Speaker 9: whole lot of numbers on their schedule. And what I

1934
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 9: mean by numbers is ranked teams. I mean in Virginia Louisville,

1935
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:06,479
Speaker 9: Virginia Tech, pitt Citadel, South Carolina at home. I mean,

1936
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:08,880
Speaker 9: I don't see any reason why they can't go eleven

1937
01:34:08,920 --> 01:34:11,600
Speaker 9: and one if they lose to Georgia today and and

1938
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 9: at that point, yeah, why would why would Dabbo change

1939
01:34:14,160 --> 01:34:16,280
Speaker 9: course if they're still winning ten eleven games?

1940
01:34:16,720 --> 01:34:19,599
Speaker 5: Yeah? Man, it's because that's the thing.

1941
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:21,600
Speaker 6: If they do that and they get to the playoff

1942
01:34:21,800 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 6: and then they get dusted right at some point. To

1943
01:34:25,080 --> 01:34:29,559
Speaker 6: justify what he's doing, he's got to have big playoff success,

1944
01:34:29,960 --> 01:34:32,679
Speaker 6: you know. And they're not even knocking on the door

1945
01:34:32,720 --> 01:34:35,560
Speaker 6: of the playoff. So it's gonna be really interesting to

1946
01:34:35,560 --> 01:34:36,599
Speaker 6: see Clemson this season.

1947
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:37,960
Speaker 8: Do you think they make the playoff this year? Bron

1948
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:38,479
Speaker 8: What do you think?

1949
01:34:39,680 --> 01:34:42,280
Speaker 6: I think they've got to like what you laid out.

1950
01:34:42,320 --> 01:34:44,760
Speaker 6: If they're you know in a ten to eleven win

1951
01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:47,920
Speaker 6: team yeah, eleven and one gets them in. Absolutely it does.

1952
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 6: I would say no. I would guess if you're asking

1953
01:34:51,439 --> 01:34:52,599
Speaker 6: me today, I say.

1954
01:34:52,400 --> 01:34:56,760
Speaker 9: No, No, Yeah, and no says no.

1955
01:34:56,760 --> 01:35:02,120
Speaker 6: No says most importantly h Rich Orenberger, Penn State All American.

1967
01:35:38,880 --> 01:35:42,680
Speaker 6: It's Fox Sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff presented by BETMGM.

1968
01:35:43,080 --> 01:35:46,720
Speaker 6: It is Fox Sports Radios Countdown to Kickoff presented by

1969
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:52,000
Speaker 6: bet MGM. We are thirty six measly minutes away from kickoff.

1970
01:35:52,479 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 6: How beautiful is that one of the games in the

1971
01:35:56,080 --> 01:36:01,360
Speaker 6: afternoon window, three thirty pm Eastern time, Miami me taking

1972
01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:06,400
Speaker 6: on Florida. They'll be in the swamp, great college football atmosphere, obviously.

1973
01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:09,719
Speaker 6: I just think about this, guys, there's a difference between

1974
01:36:09,760 --> 01:36:13,800
Speaker 6: how it feels and how it actually is. And I

1975
01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:16,919
Speaker 6: think this is the matchup for that thought. Where Miami

1976
01:36:17,160 --> 01:36:19,760
Speaker 6: they seem like they're the team on the rise, right

1977
01:36:19,880 --> 01:36:23,240
Speaker 6: Like they've got some some well known players in the portal.

1978
01:36:23,640 --> 01:36:27,240
Speaker 6: Cam Ward was pretty good, really really good the last

1979
01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:30,519
Speaker 6: couple of seasons for Washington State. New quarterback at Miami.

1980
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:33,880
Speaker 6: That's a big get. You get Damian Martinez, the running

1981
01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:37,200
Speaker 6: back from Oregon State. You added more talent than that.

1982
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:41,200
Speaker 6: So Miami it's like, okay, Miami's on the rise. Florida

1983
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:44,800
Speaker 6: it's like, goodness, what's going on with this program? You

1984
01:36:44,880 --> 01:36:47,719
Speaker 6: see the schedule, it is really really difficult. They seem

1985
01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:50,679
Speaker 6: to be a program on the slide. But what's interesting

1986
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:55,160
Speaker 6: is if you compare the head coaches Billy Napier twelve

1987
01:36:55,160 --> 01:37:00,960
Speaker 6: and fourteen in two seasons at Florida, Mario Cristobal twelve

1988
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:04,960
Speaker 6: and thirteen in two seasons at Miami, and I don't

1989
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:09,639
Speaker 6: know how you feel about these teams, but most feel like, hey, Miami,

1990
01:37:09,840 --> 01:37:12,439
Speaker 6: they're the team on the right. Oh, Florida, Gosh, Billy Nape,

1991
01:37:12,439 --> 01:37:14,160
Speaker 6: you're hot seat city.

1992
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 5: Right.

1993
01:37:14,880 --> 01:37:17,479
Speaker 6: It seems like they're thought of much differently. But two

1994
01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:22,559
Speaker 6: seasons in very comparable lack of success for both head coaches.

1995
01:37:22,920 --> 01:37:27,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, well they're both in a similar situation, trying

1996
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:32,920
Speaker 7: to sort of wipe off the sludge leftover from late

1997
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:39,760
Speaker 7: season slides, both of them former assistants and friends who

1998
01:37:39,880 --> 01:37:44,439
Speaker 7: work together at Alabama. You know, this is college football.

1999
01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:49,480
Speaker 7: Everybody knows everybody. Everybody knows what everybody's trying to do. Everybody,

2000
01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:53,760
Speaker 7: outside of the rare exception, knows what they're going to

2001
01:37:53,920 --> 01:37:56,400
Speaker 7: see from each other. You know, there are times where

2002
01:37:56,400 --> 01:38:02,519
Speaker 7: a new fresh face offensive coordinator figure something out, you know,

2003
01:38:03,080 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 7: a Mike Leach situation with the air raid offense.

2004
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:06,720
Speaker 3: Things like that.

2005
01:38:06,960 --> 01:38:10,240
Speaker 7: I mean they're rare though, those things where you know,

2006
01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:12,679
Speaker 7: all of a sudden, something sneaks up on the rest

2007
01:38:12,720 --> 01:38:16,240
Speaker 7: of college football and everybody's got to make adjustments because

2008
01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:20,040
Speaker 7: it's a copycat league, like we know, but in this situation,

2009
01:38:20,920 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 7: outside of the players whose faces have changed, and I

2010
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,720
Speaker 7: think it was Napier who said it this week. He

2011
01:38:27,840 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 7: was like, look, you know what's interesting is there's a

2012
01:38:30,400 --> 01:38:33,600
Speaker 7: bunch of different faces in the weight room, there's a

2013
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:35,960
Speaker 7: bunch of different faces on the practice field, but the

2014
01:38:36,040 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 7: goal hasn't changed. You know, the ambitions haven't changed around here.

2015
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 7: It's just how do you catch everybody up to the

2016
01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:47,080
Speaker 7: expectation of the football program you're trying to build in

2017
01:38:47,680 --> 01:38:51,360
Speaker 7: such a short on ramp. And that's what, frankly everybody

2018
01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:54,679
Speaker 7: around college football is dealing with. Starting your season though,

2019
01:38:54,840 --> 01:38:57,920
Speaker 7: with such an important rivalry to your fan base.

2020
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:00,160
Speaker 3: I wouldn't love it.

2021
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:02,519
Speaker 7: If I was an athletic director or if I was

2022
01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:05,280
Speaker 7: a head coach of either of these teams, I would

2023
01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:09,439
Speaker 7: try to avoid slating these games as the opener, because again,

2024
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:12,600
Speaker 7: this could really sour the taste for the rest of

2025
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:15,360
Speaker 7: the season for both of these football programs.

2026
01:39:15,400 --> 01:39:17,639
Speaker 3: So this is a big risk. This is a risky game.

2027
01:39:17,720 --> 01:39:21,240
Speaker 7: This is kind of in the must watch territory on

2028
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:23,400
Speaker 7: the slate of games we have to watch today.

2029
01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:28,280
Speaker 9: Massive game for Florida Billion Apiers squarely on the hot seat.

2030
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 8: They're the only SEC team with all three in.

2031
01:39:31,120 --> 01:39:34,160
Speaker 9: State rivals on their schedule eleven opponents from the Power

2032
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:37,599
Speaker 9: for conferences. It is a gauntlet for Florida this year.

2033
01:39:37,680 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 9: Every time I see this number, though, get bought up

2034
01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:43,240
Speaker 9: to three. That's where the Florida money comes in. So

2035
01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 9: we're sitting between two and a half and three. I

2036
01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:49,040
Speaker 9: call it like a soft three right now on Florida.

2037
01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:51,080
Speaker 9: You can actually get three minus one fifteen on the

2038
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 9: Gators right now. But the question on Miami side is

2039
01:39:54,240 --> 01:39:57,600
Speaker 9: obviously how the new pieces mesh together. Cam wore, Dami Martinez,

2040
01:39:57,640 --> 01:39:59,639
Speaker 9: You had Fletcher there at receiver, he got some depth.

2041
01:40:00,400 --> 01:40:02,800
Speaker 9: Ristrepo might be my favorite, one of my favorite players

2042
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:04,839
Speaker 9: in college football. I think the on line for Miami

2043
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:07,840
Speaker 9: solid too. The bigger question here, I would say this.

2044
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:11,160
Speaker 8: Is the X factor of the game, the heat.

2045
01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:13,720
Speaker 9: Have you guys ever played a football game in the

2046
01:40:13,760 --> 01:40:17,960
Speaker 9: swamp in late August early September. It is going to

2047
01:40:18,040 --> 01:40:23,040
Speaker 9: be oppressive. And here's the question for Florida's defense. You

2048
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:25,719
Speaker 9: check out the depth chart that they released. They're starting

2049
01:40:25,760 --> 01:40:28,479
Speaker 9: nose tackle Desmond Watson checking in at a cool four

2050
01:40:28,600 --> 01:40:31,000
Speaker 9: hundred and forty nine pounds in this game.

2051
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:31,679
Speaker 5: Wow.

2052
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 9: And they what we heard in the off season was

2053
01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:37,280
Speaker 9: that Watson was in better shape for fifty man. That

2054
01:40:37,479 --> 01:40:40,479
Speaker 9: is a large, large person to be running around in

2055
01:40:40,520 --> 01:40:44,000
Speaker 9: this heat. So we'll see if if Florida's defensive line

2056
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:46,160
Speaker 9: can kind of hold up, and we'll see if Miami

2057
01:40:46,200 --> 01:40:49,960
Speaker 9: runs a little bit of tempo. The offensive line for Florida,

2058
01:40:50,040 --> 01:40:52,960
Speaker 9: I think that is a question as well, and can

2059
01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:55,439
Speaker 9: they hold up against the Miami front that's really good,

2060
01:40:55,479 --> 01:40:58,439
Speaker 9: But I like the Florida speed on the outside. Graham

2061
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:00,479
Speaker 9: Mertz I think has a little bit more mystery in

2062
01:41:00,520 --> 01:41:03,360
Speaker 9: this offense in year two. The average depth of target

2063
01:41:03,400 --> 01:41:05,599
Speaker 9: last year was less than six yards and only twenty

2064
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:08,000
Speaker 9: nine percent of his throws traveled ten or more yards.

2065
01:41:08,360 --> 01:41:11,880
Speaker 9: But Eugene Wilson and Shamir d k they have speed.

2066
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,720
Speaker 9: And the weakness for Miami is the secondary. They've got

2067
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:17,040
Speaker 9: a freshman on the outside. He's gonna start, a three

2068
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:20,519
Speaker 9: star kid of Frederique Damari Brown in the slot wasn't

2069
01:41:20,560 --> 01:41:24,520
Speaker 9: impressive as a freshman last year. Miami's secondary against Florida's

2070
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 9: receiving group. If the Florida defense can hold up, and

2071
01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:29,160
Speaker 9: this game's kind of nip and talk, and you know,

2072
01:41:29,240 --> 01:41:31,599
Speaker 9: the passing game becomes a factor where you know Florida

2073
01:41:31,680 --> 01:41:33,880
Speaker 9: isn't desperate to throw if they're down two scores late.

2074
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:37,559
Speaker 9: I think I could see some Florida double moves and

2075
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:39,519
Speaker 9: Graham Mertz pushing the ball down the field.

2076
01:41:39,560 --> 01:41:41,439
Speaker 8: That's where I think Florida has an edge in this game.

2077
01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:44,400
Speaker 9: But in the trenches and at the other skill position groups,

2078
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:47,360
Speaker 9: I think Miami certainly deserves to be a favorite on

2079
01:41:47,400 --> 01:41:47,880
Speaker 9: the road here.

2080
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 6: You know, Jared, what we call someone who goes four

2081
01:41:50,880 --> 01:41:53,920
Speaker 6: to forty nine? Oh boy, call him a space.

2082
01:41:53,720 --> 01:41:55,320
Speaker 8: Theater, a space eater.

2083
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:55,760
Speaker 3: That's right.

2084
01:41:55,800 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 8: I love a space that's a space eater right there.

2085
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:03,080
Speaker 6: But man, four fifty does not crazy humidity in the swamp.

2086
01:42:03,160 --> 01:42:04,240
Speaker 3: Those names are tough.

2087
01:42:04,720 --> 01:42:07,160
Speaker 8: Why wouldn't the SID staff lie about the weight too?

2088
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:08,720
Speaker 9: They do that all the time, Like why would you

2089
01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:10,759
Speaker 9: make why would you put out four forty nine?

2090
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:11,759
Speaker 8: Like I don't understand.

2091
01:42:11,800 --> 01:42:14,920
Speaker 7: Well, it's also an intimidation factor, i'd be when you're

2092
01:42:14,920 --> 01:42:20,120
Speaker 7: an offensive lineman and typically you're you're blocking guys who

2093
01:42:20,120 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 7: are similar size to you or even lighter in certain cases,

2094
01:42:23,680 --> 01:42:28,560
Speaker 7: When you see four fifty on that on a roster, Yeah,

2095
01:42:28,280 --> 01:42:30,880
Speaker 7: and I'll tell you what, Yeah, most most of these

2096
01:42:30,920 --> 01:42:34,080
Speaker 7: players want their sids to lie about their weight because

2097
01:42:34,240 --> 01:42:36,280
Speaker 7: they're afraid of what mom and dad at home are

2098
01:42:36,280 --> 01:42:38,759
Speaker 7: going to say, Like, hey, listen, when you left for college,

2099
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:40,320
Speaker 7: you were about one hundred pounds lighter.

2100
01:42:40,439 --> 01:42:41,600
Speaker 3: What has happened to you?

2101
01:42:41,960 --> 01:42:44,160
Speaker 6: Well, that's the other thing. You might lie a little bit.

2102
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:47,120
Speaker 6: These schools do it all the time. But it's not

2103
01:42:47,200 --> 01:42:50,000
Speaker 6: like they're lying their way up from two.

2104
01:42:49,840 --> 01:42:52,040
Speaker 4: Fifty right for fifty, you know what I'm saying.

2105
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 6: Even if four fifty is an exaggeration, it's not like

2106
01:42:56,400 --> 01:42:59,080
Speaker 6: he's like barely three hundred pounds, you know what I mean.

2107
01:42:59,200 --> 01:43:02,639
Speaker 5: You can't lie for like one hundred and seventy five pounds.

2108
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:04,559
Speaker 5: We're like that guy is not for fifty?

2109
01:43:04,720 --> 01:43:05,439
Speaker 3: Right there? Man?

2110
01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:09,400
Speaker 6: Someone who is not for fifty either. I don't know

2111
01:43:09,479 --> 01:43:13,559
Speaker 6: Isaac Lowan Crin's exact weight. I'm gonna guess one sixty eight.

2112
01:43:13,760 --> 01:43:16,000
Speaker 6: I don't am I in the ballpark? I low who's

2113
01:43:16,040 --> 01:43:16,799
Speaker 6: here with the ladies?

2114
01:43:17,560 --> 01:43:24,479
Speaker 10: That is scarily shockingly right on? I mean that is that.

2115
01:43:24,520 --> 01:43:26,639
Speaker 10: I mean get the exact weight, right, I mean plus

2116
01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:28,559
Speaker 10: or minus maybe two pounds.

2117
01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 3: There we go.

2118
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:32,360
Speaker 8: Let's get it all right, Brian? No more props?

2119
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:33,479
Speaker 4: Can I get this?

2120
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:36,920
Speaker 3: Can we? Brian?

2121
01:43:36,960 --> 01:43:40,160
Speaker 7: Needs to work out a carnival step right up, I

2122
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:40,920
Speaker 7: guess your way.

2123
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:42,000
Speaker 3: You win the Teddy Bears.

2124
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:48,759
Speaker 10: I've decided to find that delightfully creepy. Anyway we start,

2125
01:43:49,720 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 10: I mean that plus or minus two pounds.

2126

Speaker 4: You are right on it, folks, we do start.

01:46:10,080 --> 01:46:13,720
Speaker 6: off the air. Okay, so tomorrow night, I like this

2166
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:18,280
Speaker 6: match of LSU against USC and a lot of money

2167
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:21,200
Speaker 6: coming in on the over right sixty four and a

2168
01:46:21,280 --> 01:46:23,080
Speaker 6: half at bet MGM right now.

2169
01:46:23,640 --> 01:46:25,400
Speaker 5: But new quarterbacks.

2170
01:46:25,520 --> 01:46:29,200
Speaker 6: No more Caleb Williams and Jaden Daniels who went one

2171
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:32,759
Speaker 6: and two in the NFL Draft. We've got Miller Moss

2172
01:46:33,160 --> 01:46:37,799
Speaker 6: and Garrett Nussmeyer. They've got new defensive coordinators at LSU

2173
01:46:37,840 --> 01:46:40,719
Speaker 6: and USC. I don't know, is it the craziest thought

2174
01:46:40,920 --> 01:46:43,120
Speaker 6: to say the under might be.

2175
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:43,800
Speaker 4: The way to go?

2176
01:46:45,240 --> 01:46:48,600
Speaker 6: It sounds crazy to say that because they were over machines.

2177
01:46:48,800 --> 01:46:51,040
Speaker 5: Twelve of thirteen of.

2178
01:46:51,160 --> 01:46:54,360
Speaker 6: LSU's games last year went over and ten of thirteen

2179
01:46:54,439 --> 01:46:57,800
Speaker 6: of USC's went over as well. But again, new quarterbacks,

2180
01:46:58,040 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 6: new decordinators. What do you think, rich? You liken the

2181
01:47:01,360 --> 01:47:04,400
Speaker 6: under more in LSU USC tomorrow night?

2182
01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:07,880
Speaker 7: How can we say that with a straight face?

2183
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:09,360
Speaker 3: I don't you know what I mean?

2184
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:13,800
Speaker 7: Like, especially after watching really, both of these teams play

2185
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:18,439
Speaker 7: close to zero defense at times throughout their seasons, especially USC.

2186
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:23,320
Speaker 7: My goodness, that has been just a huge problem for

2187
01:47:23,520 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 7: SC since Riley got there. You know what's funny about

2188
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:34,519
Speaker 7: this offseason for USC. It was such a small story,

2189
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:38,160
Speaker 7: but it could be an undercurrent that starts rearing its head.

2190
01:47:37,960 --> 01:47:38,479
Speaker 3: More and more.

2191
01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:43,400
Speaker 7: You know who's back on campus at Southern California, Pete Carroll.

2192
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,800
Speaker 7: Pete Carroll, who is no longer with the Seattle Seahawks,

2193
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:51,599
Speaker 7: is going to quote unquote teach a class at USC.

2194
01:47:52,120 --> 01:47:55,960
Speaker 7: So he's going to be having pay slips. I assume

2195
01:47:56,200 --> 01:47:59,519
Speaker 7: arrive at his home address and he's gonna have that.

2196
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,080
Speaker 7: You know, the flexibility where if all of a sudden

2197
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 7: he puts on a ball cap and starts roaming the

2198
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:07,120
Speaker 7: sidelines in practice fields, again, it's not going to be

2199
01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:09,760
Speaker 7: so hard to just direct the posit a little bit

2200
01:48:09,800 --> 01:48:12,160
Speaker 7: more cash into his account if he takes on a

2201
01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:16,320
Speaker 7: coaching role. I'm very curious how this season plays out

2202
01:48:16,360 --> 01:48:20,280
Speaker 7: for USC. I think this game, especially being kind of

2203
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:26,280
Speaker 7: a standalone primetime game here enormous ranked on ranked and

2204
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:29,519
Speaker 7: expanded playoffs. So the benefit of having that to look

2205
01:48:29,560 --> 01:48:33,400
Speaker 7: forward to I'm very curious what the reaction is going

2206
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:36,639
Speaker 7: to be and how much more of a topic it's

2207
01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:39,000
Speaker 7: going to become that Pete Carroll's been sniffing around the

2208
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:39,759
Speaker 7: program again.

2209
01:48:40,880 --> 01:48:43,640
Speaker 3: As the season continues on for USC.

2210
01:48:43,560 --> 01:48:45,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, fun watch here for sure.

2211
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:50,439
Speaker 9: The DC for LSU, Blake Baker made strides in the

2212
01:48:50,479 --> 01:48:53,639
Speaker 9: offseason from what I hear with the defense, the run game,

2213
01:48:54,240 --> 01:48:56,360
Speaker 9: with this Piez guy in the middle, g O pi Az,

2214
01:48:56,400 --> 01:48:58,639
Speaker 9: the Wisconsin transfer, that's going to kind of be the strength.

2215
01:48:58,680 --> 01:48:59,800
Speaker 8: The teeth of.

2216
01:48:59,760 --> 01:49:02,400
Speaker 9: This LSU defense will be up the middle. USC offense

2217
01:49:02,400 --> 01:49:06,479
Speaker 9: obviously gonna look drastically different. I think Lincoln Riley's gonna

2218
01:49:06,479 --> 01:49:08,400
Speaker 9: be a little more at ease knowing that whatever plays

2219
01:49:08,439 --> 01:49:11,920
Speaker 9: he calls this year will be ran as as called

2220
01:49:12,080 --> 01:49:16,160
Speaker 9: in the headset. And we'll see what Miller Moss has.

2221
01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:18,760
Speaker 9: We watched him in the bowl game. He was fantastic

2222
01:49:18,800 --> 01:49:21,120
Speaker 9: through a record six touchdowns in the Holiday Bowl. They

2223
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:24,280
Speaker 9: also have the UNLV transfer Mayava in the mix as well,

2224
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:26,880
Speaker 9: but it is going to be Miller Moss to start here.

2225
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:29,400
Speaker 9: The one thing I took away from Lincoln Riley's radio

2226
01:49:29,439 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 9: show this week was he's really excited about the offensive

2227
01:49:32,360 --> 01:49:35,400
Speaker 9: line that's kind of the hidden jem maybe of this

2228
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:38,840
Speaker 9: USC offense. We think speed, we think explosiveness with USC,

2229
01:49:39,320 --> 01:49:42,040
Speaker 9: but maybe the offensive line will be better. They could

2230
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:44,880
Speaker 9: not control the line of scrimmage in their big games

2231
01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:48,240
Speaker 9: last year, and I think that's the key against Oregon.

2232
01:49:48,320 --> 01:49:49,160
Speaker 8: They really struggled.

2233
01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:53,439
Speaker 9: Against UCLA, they struggled even more. So we'll see if

2234
01:49:53,439 --> 01:49:55,400
Speaker 9: the offensive line can create a little more push. I

2235
01:49:55,400 --> 01:49:57,080
Speaker 9: think the pass catching group will be better this year

2236
01:49:57,120 --> 01:49:59,080
Speaker 9: for USC. Zach Ry branch I heard he joined the

2237
01:49:59,120 --> 01:50:01,920
Speaker 9: track team in the offense season, so he's a speedsterar

2238
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:05,080
Speaker 9: The LSU secondary is small, everyone's under six feet and

2239
01:50:05,280 --> 01:50:07,400
Speaker 9: us he's got some size. You got Jakobe Lane at

2240
01:50:07,400 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 9: six to four, you got Deuce Robinson sixty six. You

2241
01:50:09,400 --> 01:50:12,280
Speaker 9: can line up inside or outside, so that's the advantage

2242
01:50:12,280 --> 01:50:15,920
Speaker 9: I think for USC, these outside receivers, the size against

2243
01:50:16,040 --> 01:50:18,680
Speaker 9: LSU's secondary being a little bit small, and can they

2244
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:21,400
Speaker 9: change up the pace by running the football. Because if

2245
01:50:21,400 --> 01:50:24,840
Speaker 9: the offensive line's better, we'll see if LSU's defense can

2246
01:50:24,840 --> 01:50:26,439
Speaker 9: hold up. We know they've got dudes in the middle

2247
01:50:26,439 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 9: and they've got some size, but the scheme might not

2248
01:50:29,320 --> 01:50:31,240
Speaker 9: be a set. We'll see it's a lot simpler this

2249
01:50:31,360 --> 01:50:34,360
Speaker 9: year for Blake Baker. So I'm that's the matchups that

2250
01:50:34,360 --> 01:50:35,599
Speaker 9: I'm really interested in this game.

2251
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:39,000
Speaker 6: Okay, we'll bring it back to today real fast here,

2252
01:50:39,360 --> 01:50:42,640
Speaker 6: and what you guys are most looking forward to that

2253
01:50:42,680 --> 01:50:45,879
Speaker 6: we haven't discussed today. Right, We've hit on the biggest

2254
01:50:45,880 --> 01:50:48,479
Speaker 6: matchups and talked about a lot of teams and things

2255
01:50:48,520 --> 01:50:51,360
Speaker 6: to look for and all that good stuff. But what's

2256
01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:54,479
Speaker 6: a team, what's a game? What's something you have circled?

2257
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:57,640
Speaker 6: For me, it's who gets upset today? You have so

2258
01:50:57,800 --> 01:51:00,679
Speaker 6: many top teams facing fc S teams.

2259
01:51:00,800 --> 01:51:01,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2260
01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:02,559
Speaker 6: One of my favorite things when I would go to

2261
01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:04,960
Speaker 6: games at Notre Dame Stadium back in the day. I

2262
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:07,799
Speaker 6: don't know if they still announce the scores during games,

2263
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:09,920
Speaker 6: but that was one of my favorite things where they

2264
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:11,880
Speaker 6: the PA announcer would be like.

2265
01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:19,559
Speaker 5: Oh miss ten Furman ten problem, Like oh my gosh, right,

2266
01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:20,479
Speaker 5: Like I love that.

2267
01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:24,280
Speaker 6: Who goes down today is what I have circled. But

2268
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:27,920
Speaker 6: anything specifically you have circled, whether it's a team, it's

2269
01:51:27,920 --> 01:51:29,599
Speaker 6: a game, something we haven't mentioned.

2270
01:51:30,120 --> 01:51:31,640
Speaker 5: Rich will start with you. What do you have on

2271
01:51:31,680 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 5: your list?

2272
01:51:32,880 --> 01:51:36,519
Speaker 7: I said it earlier, and I'm really curious how this goes,

2273
01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 7: but favorites on the road early in the season. I'm

2274
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:45,719
Speaker 7: looking at a couple Penn State at West Virginia favored

2275
01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:48,960
Speaker 7: by seven and a half. Right now VA Tac at

2276
01:51:49,040 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 7: Vandy they're favored by just about two touchdowns. There's a

2277
01:51:53,360 --> 01:51:56,200
Speaker 7: couple of these games where you're gonna see and obviously

2278
01:51:56,240 --> 01:51:59,559
Speaker 7: as the season creeps forward, you know, Week two, Week three,

2279
01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:03,000
Speaker 7: we're going to see you know, road favorites, and it

2280
01:52:03,040 --> 01:52:06,799
Speaker 7: gets dicey Man Miami Road favorite just by a slim

2281
01:52:06,840 --> 01:52:12,080
Speaker 7: margin at Florida. This is this is one of those

2282
01:52:12,360 --> 01:52:20,200
Speaker 7: those situations where just beware, beware of accepting accepting a

2283
01:52:20,280 --> 01:52:24,200
Speaker 7: cover there, because it's it's hard enough to be on

2284
01:52:24,240 --> 01:52:25,599
Speaker 7: the road in college football.

2285
01:52:25,920 --> 01:52:28,839
Speaker 3: It's it's a whole another onions appeal.

2286
01:52:29,479 --> 01:52:33,200
Speaker 7: When with the transfer portal and the the the new

2287
01:52:33,280 --> 01:52:36,599
Speaker 7: names and faces not only in the coaching staff now

2288
01:52:36,680 --> 01:52:40,320
Speaker 7: but on the team every year to an astonishing number,

2289
01:52:40,840 --> 01:52:43,559
Speaker 7: I feel like teams are gonna have a harder time

2290
01:52:44,360 --> 01:52:46,599
Speaker 7: getting all their ducks in a row early. So I'm

2291
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:49,120
Speaker 7: very excited to see what the outcomes of some of

2292
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:52,799
Speaker 7: these especially narrow favorites, favorites playing on the road today.

2293
01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:54,120
Speaker 8: You know, it's crazy.

2294
01:52:54,160 --> 01:52:57,080
Speaker 9: We have done a almost a three hour college football

2295
01:52:57,200 --> 01:52:59,759
Speaker 9: radio show week one of the college football season.

2296
01:52:59,760 --> 01:53:02,200
Speaker 8: We have not yet mentioned the defending national champions.

2297
01:53:02,400 --> 01:53:05,679
Speaker 14: Yeah right, yeah, telling though, right, yeah, just like And

2298
01:53:05,880 --> 01:53:09,200
Speaker 14: I think that actually speaks volumes about what Michigan is

2299
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:11,599
Speaker 14: this year, which is about as under the radar as

2300
01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:13,400
Speaker 14: a defending national champion can be.

2301
01:53:13,400 --> 01:53:16,720
Speaker 9: Because their head coach left, the entire team has gone.

2302
01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:20,439
Speaker 9: They return one starter on offense. I think the defense

2303
01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:23,480
Speaker 9: will be good. They brought in a really good linebacker

2304
01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:26,080
Speaker 9: in the portal, actually two really good linebackers in the portal.

2305
01:53:26,080 --> 01:53:28,040
Speaker 9: The number one rated linebacker in the twenty three portal

2306
01:53:28,120 --> 01:53:30,559
Speaker 9: Jayshawn Barm from Maryland who is a freshman All American

2307
01:53:30,560 --> 01:53:32,800
Speaker 9: in twenty one, and then Ernest Housman from Nebraska is

2308
01:53:32,840 --> 01:53:35,240
Speaker 9: the number one linebacker.

2309
01:53:34,760 --> 01:53:36,040
Speaker 8: In this year's portal.

2310
01:53:36,120 --> 01:53:38,600
Speaker 9: So you got these two elite linebackers coming in. I

2311
01:53:38,600 --> 01:53:40,640
Speaker 9: think the Michigan defense will be fine. I have no

2312
01:53:40,680 --> 01:53:42,439
Speaker 9: idea what they're gonna be on offense this year. I

2313
01:53:42,479 --> 01:53:44,560
Speaker 9: saw some respective money on the first half under in

2314
01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:47,240
Speaker 9: that Fresno State Michigan game. But I what is Michigan

2315
01:53:47,320 --> 01:53:48,479
Speaker 9: going to be this year? I mean, are they an

2316
01:53:48,479 --> 01:53:50,040
Speaker 9: eight and four team. Are they a team that can

2317
01:53:50,080 --> 01:53:52,479
Speaker 9: get back to the playoff? There is a lot of

2318
01:53:52,560 --> 01:53:55,040
Speaker 9: unknowns in n Arbor, which is very rare considering the

2319
01:53:55,320 --> 01:53:56,280
Speaker 9: lofty heights.

2320
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:57,920
Speaker 8: That they have set for themselves over the last decade

2321
01:53:58,000 --> 01:53:58,160
Speaker 8: or so.

2322
01:53:58,760 --> 01:54:01,360

Speaker 3: Let's do it.

2345
01:55:20,920 --> 01:55:21,800
Speaker 4: Rapid fire.

2346
01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:27,640
Speaker 6: Okay, we have to mention that our summer Sweepsteaks winner

2347
01:55:27,920 --> 01:55:32,200
Speaker 6: was Jared Smith. Huh, he had the best picks before

2348
01:55:32,240 --> 01:55:36,840
Speaker 6: football season gets underway over here. So on three, Rich,

2349

Speaker 6: we salute him one two, three, who cares salute?

2350
01:55:44,560 --> 01:55:47,120
Speaker 5: No, very well done, Jared Smith. You are the headed

2351
01:55:47,160 --> 01:55:47,560
Speaker 5: on show.

2352
01:55:47,640 --> 01:55:47,920
Speaker 3: Here.

2353
01:55:48,240 --> 01:55:49,480
Speaker 5: We wipe the slate clean.

2354
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:52,160
Speaker 6: Now that we're at week one of the college football season,

2355
01:55:52,440 --> 01:55:53,800
Speaker 6: we go all the way through the.

2356
01:55:53,680 --> 01:55:57,760
Speaker 5: Super Bowl Steaks. Guys, what is it?

2357
01:55:58,520 --> 01:55:59,080
Speaker 3: We have to do?

2358
01:55:59,200 --> 01:56:04,120
Speaker 6: The Will Levis challenge, Mayo and the coffee thing, and also,

2359
01:56:04,240 --> 01:56:06,720
Speaker 6: like Rich said, the Mayo cologne.

2360
01:56:06,800 --> 01:56:07,680
Speaker 5: You just have to base.

2361
01:56:07,960 --> 01:56:10,600
Speaker 9: I like the Mayo cologne as an extra suite and

2362
01:56:10,600 --> 01:56:11,000
Speaker 9: they're there.

2363
01:56:10,920 --> 01:56:12,280
Speaker 3: Okay, right, I like that.

2364
01:56:12,760 --> 01:56:14,360
Speaker 5: Jared will start with you. What do you like today?

2365
01:56:14,400 --> 01:56:16,200
Speaker 8: But yeah, let's start with Penn State.

2366
01:56:16,320 --> 01:56:18,480
Speaker 9: I'm gonna lay it, and you're seeing seven and a

2367
01:56:18,520 --> 01:56:20,560
Speaker 9: half right now minus one zh five. If you can

2368
01:56:20,560 --> 01:56:22,960
Speaker 9: fight a seven, there's a few that popped earlier today.

2369
01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:24,680
Speaker 9: I think seven and a half at that price is

2370
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:27,160
Speaker 9: still fair. James Franklin loves covering numbers more than a

2371
01:56:27,200 --> 01:56:30,280
Speaker 9: touchdown favorite. In his career, sixty five percent cover eight,

2372
01:56:30,560 --> 01:56:33,640
Speaker 9: almost eighty percent the last four years nineteen to five

2373
01:56:33,640 --> 01:56:36,040
Speaker 9: and one when favored by more than a touchdown eighth

2374
01:56:36,120 --> 01:56:38,760
Speaker 9: one last season. Drew Allert taking shots down the field

2375
01:56:38,880 --> 01:56:41,200
Speaker 9: is the key. West Virginia a little bit bulky in

2376
01:56:41,240 --> 01:56:43,680
Speaker 9: the secondary. I think Penn stated they have a chance

2377
01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:46,080
Speaker 9: to cover this number today. I am confident they will

2378
01:56:46,120 --> 01:56:47,440
Speaker 9: get across the finish line.

2379
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:48,200
Speaker 8: I'm gonna lay.

2380
01:56:48,080 --> 01:56:51,520
Speaker 9: Eight points with Troy. They're home against Nevada today. Interesting

2381
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:54,440
Speaker 9: trend teams that cover in week zero, right, teams that

2382
01:56:54,440 --> 01:56:57,600
Speaker 9: played last week in Week one. If you're facing an

2383
01:56:57,600 --> 01:57:01,600
Speaker 9: FBS opponent that hasn't played yet one in eight against

2384
01:57:01,680 --> 01:57:04,320
Speaker 9: the spread the last two years, it makes sense if

2385
01:57:04,320 --> 01:57:06,480
Speaker 9: you put something on paper in week zero, the coaches

2386
01:57:06,480 --> 01:57:08,680
Speaker 9: are gonna adapt and they're gonna make you pay the

2387
01:57:08,680 --> 01:57:09,640
Speaker 9: following week Troy.

2388
01:57:10,200 --> 01:57:12,000
Speaker 8: I don't love Troy. They're losing a lot.

2389
01:57:12,080 --> 01:57:14,600
Speaker 9: Jared Parker old notre a moc. He's the new head coach.

2390
01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:17,520
Speaker 9: But Nevada wasn't good last week. They barely covered against SMU.

2391
01:57:17,680 --> 01:57:20,280
Speaker 9: They were fortunate with a turnover for a touchdown there.

2392
01:57:20,320 --> 01:57:22,200
Speaker 9: And I'm gonna tak the over in Western Kentucky in

2393
01:57:22,240 --> 01:57:24,640
Speaker 9: Alabama fifty nine and a half. Hey, Kaylin de Board,

2394
01:57:24,680 --> 01:57:26,680
Speaker 9: Jalen Milroe, this is gonna be like peanut butter and

2395
01:57:26,760 --> 01:57:29,640
Speaker 9: jelly this year. I can't wait to watch this Alabama offense.

2396
01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:31,760
Speaker 9: And don't sleep on Western Kentucky's offense.

2397
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:32,720
Speaker 8: You remember this name, TJ.

2398
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:33,200
Speaker 3: Finley.

2399
01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:35,120
Speaker 9: He used to play quarterback in the SEC. He's now

2400
01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:37,480
Speaker 9: the quarterback at Western Kentucky. I think that air right

2401
01:57:37,520 --> 01:57:39,800
Speaker 9: offense put some points on the board. Bama working in

2402
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:42,480
Speaker 9: a new secondary. So Western Kentucky Bama over Troy Lane

2403
01:57:42,560 --> 01:57:44,160
Speaker 9: eight Penn State minus seven and a half.

2404
01:57:44,360 --> 01:57:46,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, big believer in Kaitlin de boor here, So I'll

2405
01:57:47,000 --> 01:57:50,120
Speaker 7: start there. Have al of FAMA covering a huge spread

2406
01:57:50,120 --> 01:57:53,440
Speaker 7: at home hosting Western Kentucky thirty four and a half.

2407
01:57:54,160 --> 01:57:59,000
Speaker 7: I say Crimson Tide covers Vanderbilt. They're hosting the visiting

2408
01:57:59,080 --> 01:58:04,879
Speaker 7: ACCS Virginia Tech. Very talented team. I think vo Tech wins,

2409
01:58:05,080 --> 01:58:06,960
Speaker 7: but I'm taking the thirteen and a half.

2410
01:58:07,040 --> 01:58:08,200
Speaker 3: Like I said, favorites on.

2411
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:11,520
Speaker 7: The row gonna be a little tricky this season for

2412
01:58:11,600 --> 01:58:13,160
Speaker 7: a lot of these teams, and I could keep my

2413
01:58:13,200 --> 01:58:19,960
Speaker 7: hands off the PSUs WVU game, the backyard brawl, Nitney Lions, Mountaineers.

2414
01:58:20,400 --> 01:58:22,800
Speaker 7: I'm gonna take the under though, on the point total

2415
01:58:22,840 --> 01:58:25,280
Speaker 7: forty nine and a half. Give me the under. I

2416
01:58:25,280 --> 01:58:28,680
Speaker 7: think this is gonna be a tricky game. Maybe PSU covers,

2417
01:58:28,720 --> 01:58:30,919
Speaker 7: maybe they don't, but I think it comes under.

2418
01:58:30,720 --> 01:58:31,360
Speaker 3: The point total.

2419
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:35,000
Speaker 6: Okay, So I've got Notre Dame A and m circle.

2420
01:58:35,200 --> 01:58:37,840
Speaker 6: Give me under forty seven and a half all day.

2421
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:39,400
Speaker 3: I just I don't.

2422
01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:41,600
Speaker 5: See how it gets over.

2423
01:58:43,000 --> 01:58:46,920
Speaker 6: Notre Dames offensive line in experience, tough road setting, I

2424
01:58:46,920 --> 01:58:49,280
Speaker 6: don't see them scoring a lot of points. And Notre

2425
01:58:49,360 --> 01:58:52,440
Speaker 6: Dames defense is really really good. I love under forty

2426
01:58:52,480 --> 01:58:55,400
Speaker 6: seven and a half. Give me that one. I'm gonna

2427
01:58:55,440 --> 01:58:58,560
Speaker 6: go with Jared. You mentioned this in passing Who is

2428
01:58:58,680 --> 01:59:03,280
Speaker 6: Michigan right right? I'm gonna go first half under twenty

2429
01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:06,920
Speaker 6: three and a half Fresno State against Michigan. I respect

2430
01:59:06,920 --> 01:59:09,360
Speaker 6: Michigan's defense. I don't see Fresno State doing a whole

2431
01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:12,040
Speaker 6: lot early in that game. I'll go under twenty three

2432
01:59:12,080 --> 01:59:14,400
Speaker 6: and a half in that one. And I would love

2433
01:59:14,440 --> 01:59:16,760
Speaker 6: to join you with this Penn State thing. Do you

2434
01:59:16,840 --> 01:59:19,400
Speaker 6: know what the HECKU that I will Penn State minus

2435
01:59:19,440 --> 01:59:23,920
Speaker 6: seven and a half? I mean goodness, You've got James Franklin.

2436
01:59:23,960 --> 01:59:26,720
Speaker 6: His record speaks for itself, sixteen to zero to one

2437
01:59:27,320 --> 01:59:30,680
Speaker 6: against the spread at Penn State when the Nitney Lyons

2438
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:33,080
Speaker 6: are favored by seven to twenty four points.

2439
01:59:33,520 --> 01:59:35,480
Speaker 5: I will take that on the road today. In this one,

2440
01:59:35,600 --> 01:59:39,360
Speaker 5: we are We're all on the same side. Go Penn State.

2441
01:59:39,480 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 4: Huh, Nitty Lyons, but do it.
