Yeah cool, so that's 36 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 6: where again? 37 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: Yeah? 38 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, go Irish. 39 00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 6: You know what, these matchups are just amazing where if 40 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 6: you start broad the Alabama at Tennessee matchup, really interesting, 41 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 6: Georgia at Texas, those are the marquee matchups. And the 42 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 6: first thing I think of is how many two loss 43 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 6: teams are gonna make the playoffs? 44 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 3: Yeah? 45 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,320 Speaker 6: Right, Like ask yourself that I think they're gonna have. 46 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 6: We're probably gonna have multiple two loss teams. I think 47 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 6: there's a great chance we get a couple of two 48 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:29,840 Speaker 6: loss teams that sneak into the playoffs. 49 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 5: What do you think about that? 50 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 6: Because there just seems to be a vibe and some 51 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 6: of the conversations where it's like, is this an elimination 52 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 6: game for Alabama and Tennessee? And I don't think losing 53 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 6: two games means you're eliminated. I think we're gonna get 54 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 6: a couple of teams in there. 55 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree with what you just said. 56 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 7: It's going to be based off of what many of 57 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 7: the determinations by the committee are based off of at 58 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 7: the end of the season, not necessarily who's got the 59 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 7: best record, but who provides the best and most entertaining 60 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 7: matchup per their strength and also their strength of schedule 61 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 7: over a complete season. I mean, if everything was perfect, 62 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 7: Florida State would have been in the playoffs last year, 63 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 7: you know, in terms of like looking at record and 64 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 7: accomplishments and all those things. 65 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: But we know everything's not perfect. 66 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,520 Speaker 7: We know that that isn't the sole consideration just what 67 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 7: your record is. It's also, hey, if we put this 68 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 7: team in a playoff situation, are they going to sink 69 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 7: or swim? Like that? That is actually tabulated in the conversation. 70 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 7: You know that came up last year during these committee conversations. 71 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: Also, is this the best team? You know what I mean? 72 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 7: Like it is, does the record reflect what we think 73 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 7: of this team? And so I agree with you. I 74 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 7: think we could have multiple two loss teams in a postseason, 75 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 7: especially in an expanded postseason this year. 76 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna have multiple two losses. So the first 77 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: rankings reveal is in two weeks November fifth, the Saturday 78 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: before that, we'll get Ohio State Penn State, and I 79 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: think that will be the first indicator, right, Like, if 80 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 2: Penn State wins that game in Ohio State has two 81 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 2: losses at that time, but is still a top ten 82 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:20,080 Speaker 2: team and they're still in the top twelve, I think 83 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,039 Speaker 2: that'll be your first indicator of how important the rankings 84 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 2: are compared to like our perception of these teams, because 85 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 2: by all accounts, Ohio State losing two games to Penn 86 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 2: State on the road and Oregon on the road, they're in, right, 87 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: And that'll be an interesting Obviously, obviously I hope Penn 88 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: State wins that game for other reasons, but I'm curious. 89 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 2: I want to We'll get to that at a different time. 90 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 2: I want to see how the like I want. That's 91 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 2: the beauty of this. We get the committee will show 92 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 2: us their hand multiple times before the selections are actually made, 93 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,239 Speaker 2: and we'll get to see a couple of two loss 94 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 2: teams theoretically and see how the committee feels about them. 95 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 2: Maybe George's one of them. What if Georgia loses tonight, 96 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 2: Georgia's dow lost team. So I think we'll have multiple. 97 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: If I had to put a number on it, I 98 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: would say two, maybe three. I think the biggest question 99 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: is will we get a three loss team in the 100 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 2: College football Playoff. I don't know a lot of parody 101 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 2: this year. 102 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't see a three loss team, but I 103 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 6: see a couple of two loss teams because there's just 104 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 6: too much in the way, right there are too many 105 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 6: games that can go sideways for these quality teams. I 106 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 6: think Georgia's probably the best example. Let's say they're a 107 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 6: two loss team that lost at Alabama and lost today 108 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 6: at Texas. There are worse teams to lose too than 109 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 6: on the road at Alabama and Texas at Texas, so 110 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 6: if they were to run the table from there on out. 111 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 5: Which wouldn't be easy. 112 00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,719 Speaker 6: By the way, this begins a gauntlet for the Dogs 113 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 6: here three of the next four games at Texas at 114 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 6: all miss hosting Tennessee. 115 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,240 Speaker 2: The SEC is absurd this year. 116 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,720 Speaker 3: That's rough. That is crazy. 117 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, So that is a quality two loss team, if 118 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 6: that's what their resume is at the end of the season, 119 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 6: you have a hard time keeping them out because in 120 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 6: the Big Ten, in the SEC, those power conferences, two 121 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 6: of the four, there's just a lot on these team 122 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 6: schedules where you could have two losses and still have 123 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 6: a really good resume. 124 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 5: You're not going to be left out of the playoff 125 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:33,719 Speaker 5: if that's the case. 126 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: No, No, absolutely not. 127 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 7: And I do think that maybe three losses is a 128 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 7: bridge too far, But it really depends on. 129 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 3: What happens this season. 130 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 7: With as much parody as there is, if some of 131 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 7: these teams we were just discussing, do end up, you know, 132 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 7: end up with a three loss team and one of 133 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 7: them's a fluke, or their three losses are against really 134 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 7: quality competition, you know, all of a sudden, you have 135 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 7: some our decisions to make. Now it's three losses of 136 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 7: death nel, probably, But will it always be no, because 137 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 7: we used to think two losses was a deathnel, and 138 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 7: we're sitting here talking about how two losses it may be. 139 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 7: It may be automatic for multiple teams to get in 140 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 7: on two losses. So it's a very interesting evolving situation 141 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 7: in college football, as it always is, well, you should say, 142 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 7: especially recently. But but yeah, it's gonna be fascinating to 143 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 7: see how this season shakes out, especially in the Big Ten, 144 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 7: especially in the SEC, where the strength of these conferences, 145 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 7: I mean, they could cannibalize themselves. They You could end 146 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 7: up having a lot of teams with multiple losses who 147 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 7: at the end of the season you say, yeah, but 148 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 7: those are the best teams the Yeah, but this season 149 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 7: with the Committee are going to be louder than they've 150 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 7: ever been. 151 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 2: Imagine if Penn State and Indiana are in Oregon and 152 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: Indiana are in the Big Imagine if the Big Ten 153 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: championship game is or against Indiana. 154 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean that's that's a very scenario right now, Yes. 155 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: Very possible. Imagine the SEC championship game is Texas A 156 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: and M against I don't know Texas like it just 157 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: there's just so many odd combinations that could And I 158 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: think this is just we just have to get used 159 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 2: to this, guys and girls, we have to get used 160 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 2: to this parody. The talent is dispersed all over the country. 161 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:38,080 Speaker 2: Teams have depth issues, Guys are not sticking around. The 162 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 2: coaches are dealing with the NIO. Like Bama beats Georgia 163 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: and instead of maybe one day of partying. These guys 164 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 2: have seven figures, they're partying for multiple days. It's just 165 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 2: it's such a strain. This is being in. Every pro 166 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 2: I've talked to is that said the same thing. They've 167 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: never seen anything like this. Yeah, And we we have 168 00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 2: to just be okay with the change, the adaptation that 169 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 2: we're gonna make over the next month. The next month, 170 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: like when the committee drops those first rankings and we 171 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 2: see the actual like bracket, it's gonna be crazy. It's 172 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 2: only gonna get crazier too. Well. 173 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 6: And those arguments, man, it's a different argument because Rich 174 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,719 Speaker 6: alluded to it last year where Florida State was the 175 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 6: the team on the outside looking in, and the reaction 176 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 6: was when it expanded to twelve, it's like, well, we 177 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 6: don't have to go down that road anymore. 178 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 3: Ye, Well, roads go down yeah, yeah. 179 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 6: But think about this where you've got a team from 180 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 6: one of these Power four conferences that might have two losses, 181 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 6: and then you have a team with fewer losses, maybe 182 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 6: from a group of five, and they've got a legitimate 183 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 6: argument it's gonna be a knockdown, drag out. 184 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: But enough of that. 185 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 6: If we move on to there are five teams in 186 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 6: the top fifteen that play unranked opponents on the road 187 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 6: this week. Okay, so we're looking for potential. You know 188 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 6: whoa upset city. We didn't have that last night. Oregon 189 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 6: took care of business against Purdue, which again begs the question. 190 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 6: After Purdue gets shut out, how did Illinois survive in 191 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 6: overtime against Perdue. 192 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 2: Give up fifty team fifty to forty nine. 193 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 5: It was unbelievable. But we've got you tell me yay 194 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 5: or nay? 195 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 6: Potential for upset, Okay, just potential, Okay. Number six Miami 196 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 6: at Louisville potential Yay, Yeah, I've seen. 197 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 7: Miami play at cal A Virginia Tech the last and 198 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 7: also that Louisville defense. 199 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:38,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a potential. That's a potential. 200 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 2: Okay. 201 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 6: Number eight LSU at Arkansas. You saw Arkansas take down Tennessee, right. 202 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that that. This is a juicy little matchup 203 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: right there. 204 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: That is, wait till we get to the parlay platter, 205 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 2: wink wink. 206 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 6: Okay, all right, it might be two for two with 207 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 6: the three that are gonna be in the number twelve, Yeah, 208 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,680 Speaker 6: number twelve, Notre Dame at Georgia Tech. 209 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: I mean I'll go. 210 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 5: First, Nay no, no, No, Haines back up quarterback for Tech. 211 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: Yeah. 212 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 6: No, Haines king there number fourteen Texas. A and M 213 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 6: at Mississippi State Mississippi States. 214 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 2: Yeah they do. And I'll be honest, A and M 215 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 2: quietly sneaky good. Maybe, like the Missouri game was such 216 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 2: a blowout, we just kind of dismissed it. Missouri sucks, 217 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: but maybe A and M's really good. Yeah. 218 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 6: You know what's crazy about eminem am M. They're a 219 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 6: lot like LSU. I feel like where both teams lost 220 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 6: their first game. Yeah, and it framed how a lot 221 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 6: of people think of those teams where we just look 222 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 6: at what LSU and A and M don't do well 223 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 6: instead of what they actually do well. It's weird when 224 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 6: you drop your first game how people think of you, 225 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 6: And I think for A and M they've been just 226 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 6: out of side, out of mind. 227 00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 5: After they lost to Notre Dame, Ana crushed Missouri. 228 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're legit and exactly what you said is true. 229 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 7: Sometimes sometimes first impressions are lasting, and that's not just 230 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 7: relegated to college football where you have to keep your 231 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 7: eye one hundred and thirty FBS programs. 232 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 3: Sometimes it happens in the NFL. 233 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 7: Too, where you see a team primetime early in the season, 234 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 7: you know, the quarterback has a rough night, and all 235 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 7: of a sudden, that's the way you feel about that 236 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,040 Speaker 7: team for the remainder of the season or almost all 237 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 7: the season. I remember it might have been the first 238 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 7: primetime weekend game, the Sunday Night Football or Monday Night. 239 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 7: It was Jets Bills last year. Josh Allen threw all 240 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,960 Speaker 7: those interceptions, Aaron Rodgers gets hurt. So the two headlines 241 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 7: out of that game was what are the Jets going 242 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 7: to do a quarterback? And everybody's like, what's wrong with 243 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 7: Josh Allen? Well, yeah, some of that may have been real, 244 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 7: but also some of it may have been hyperbolic because 245 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 7: the Bills were still a playoff team. You know. It's 246 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 7: it's just interesting how certain storylines stick. And I agree 247 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 7: with what you said about Texas A and M because 248 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 7: I fell victim to this until this week. I was like, yeah, what, 249 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 7: you know what, why do I feel this way about 250 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,319 Speaker 7: A and M. I'm like, oh, no, they're good. They're 251 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 7: gonna be just fing this season. 252 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, totally agree. And they're off the by too, so 253 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,920 Speaker 2: they beat the pants off Missouri like absolutely beat the 254 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 2: pants off and then they go on by and what 255 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 2: did we see last week? Like every big team played, 256 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:28,199 Speaker 2: but A and M was just sitting on there took 257 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 2: us as watching, so we forget. We have a sickness 258 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 2: in this country of recency buys where we will forget 259 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 2: so quickly and just move on because the next thing 260 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 2: happened and we're already on to it. A and M 261 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 2: has a top five, top ten defense, and Connor Weggins 262 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 2: I think serviceable where at least is he can Really 263 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 2: it's Moss the running back that's really kind of been 264 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 2: their bellcal But if Wegman can give them something, everything 265 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 2: else is in place. And Mike Elco he's not Jim 266 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 2: oh Fisher right, Like he's a really good coach. I 267 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,319 Speaker 2: do like when you say they got pantsed, you say that, 268 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,559 Speaker 2: oh what do you call it? 269 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 6: Remember when you were in grade school and your friend 270 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 6: would come up to you like, hey man, I got 271 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,120 Speaker 6: I got something to tell you, like hey, come here, 272 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 6: and then another friend was like I think no, no, no, 273 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 6: no no, it was like you got pants you know 274 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 6: what was behind you?

Go back 313 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 5: to last week. 314 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 6: Oregon upsets Ohio State and at the end of the game, 315 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,040 Speaker 6: so Ohio State is driving into field goal range ten 316 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 6: seconds left in Dan Lanning, Oregon head coach says, hey, hey, 317 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 6: come over here, come on here, let's put twelve guys 318 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 6: on the field. Put twelve untentionally and it worked, right. 319 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 6: It was an incomplete pass. Four seconds came off the clock, 320 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 6: which doesn't sound like a lot, but when you only 321 00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 6: have ten seconds left, it's a big deal. So Ohio 322 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 6: State moved up five yards, but that time was burned 323 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 6: off the clock. Next thing we know, Ohio State quarterback 324 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 6: Will Howard is running a wrong around too long. 325 00:16:59,400 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: Game over. 326 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 6: It was a smart move and the NCAA responded, and 327 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 6: they have changed this rule so after the two minute 328 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 6: time out, don't say warning in college football. 329 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:11,159 Speaker 5: I don't know why they do that. 330 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,639 Speaker 6: But at the end of either half, if there are 331 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 6: twelve men on the field, the offense will have the 332 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,480 Speaker 6: option to keep the time on the clock as well 333 00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 6: as get the five yard penalty. So the loophole has 334 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 6: been changed. And I think this, guys, that's coaching right there. 335 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,360 Speaker 6: It does remind me a little bit of your Patriots 336 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:39,639 Speaker 6: Rich Remember when Bill Belichick used those formations. Yeah, they 337 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 6: did a weird thing where the tight end actually lined 338 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,359 Speaker 6: up as the offensive tackle and a tackle was split 339 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 6: out wide as the tight end, but it was really 340 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 6: the tackle. And then John Harby after the game. 341 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 3: Was just whining. 342 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 2: Illegal. 343 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 5: It was legal, but the NFL was like, no more 344 00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 5: of that. 345 00:17:58,320 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: The loophole is closed. 346 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 6: And I see similarities with what the NCAA did with 347 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 6: Oregon and the twelve men on the field. 348 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 7: No question about it, And That's exactly what it reminded 349 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 7: me of too, is many of the rules that we 350 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 7: worked on during special teams parts of our practices when 351 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 7: I was in New England, or even specialized situational offensive 352 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 7: and defensive times on the field where you're just covering situations, 353 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 7: they were exploiting rules that you knew other teams weren't 354 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 7: practicing because there's only so much time in the week 355 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 7: to go over each and every single one of these 356 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 7: little nuanced situations. But when they come up, they're super important, 357 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 7: and you could tell the teams that are well coached 358 00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 7: when they can execute in those situations. And Oregon, there's 359 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 7: no question about it, they're well coached. I mean, Dan 360 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 7: Lannings a football man. He understands this game. He understands 361 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 7: how to exploit teams defensively, offensively, and situationally. And that 362 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,160 Speaker 7: is an enormously important part of being a head coach 363 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 7: is having and understanding not only being hyper focused on 364 00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,160 Speaker 7: your side of the ball if you're a play caller, 365 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 7: or on the plays that are occurring, but also the clock, 366 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 7: time out management and rules like that that you can 367 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,679 Speaker 7: exploit to your benefit in those situational moments. So Hats 368 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 7: off to Dan Lanning and hats off to college football 369 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 7: for being nimble enough to close the loophole immediately. 370 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 2: The question I have is if this was Saban or 371 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 2: another one of the godlike coaches Harball maybe at Michigan 372 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 2: last year. Did they close the loophole so quickly or 373 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 2: because it was up and coming Dan Lanning, who you know, 374 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 2: hasn't really made the name for himself yet. He I mean, 375 00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 2: don't get me wrong, he's a fantastic coach, but you 376 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 2: can't compare him to save or harbor any of those 377 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,680 Speaker 2: guys yet. I'm like, it was it was a really 378 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 2: interesting they they opened that rule book pretty well, it was. 379 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 2: It was within two days later that rule was changed, 380 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 2: and I don't it should be changed. You shouldn't be 381 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 2: able to just suck time off the clock without there 382 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 2: being any repercussions. I like the amendment to the rule. 383 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 2: I think it makes sense. It's a quick, easy fix. 384 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: You give all the credit in the world. I don't 385 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 2: know if it was Landing or another staff member that 386 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,400 Speaker 2: kind of said, hey, this is something we should do here, 387 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 2: but it's it's hard. Like I study a lot of 388 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 2: these coaches now because I'm always interested in the next 389 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 2: up and coming one, and it's it's always something with 390 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:37,720 Speaker 2: these guys. They are incredible students of the game. And 391 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 2: that I think is where we are right now in 392 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 2: college football is it's so hard and the margins are 393 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,199 Speaker 2: so thin. I don't want to say this was cheating, 394 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: but you definitely have to cut some corners if you 395 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 2: want to find an edge these days. And you credit 396 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 2: Landing in the staff for being right in the in 397 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 2: the right spot at the right time, with the right call, 398 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 2: and they executed it and they won the game. 399 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it would be Jared. I like where 400 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 5: you're coming from with that. 401 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 6: I think in this instance, it was just such a 402 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 6: high profile game and the situation, the way it all 403 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 6: played out with only ten seconds left, and then you 404 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 6: intentionally put twelve men on the field and gain an 405 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 6: advantage that they win. 406 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 2: If that if the seconds go back on, like I 407 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 2: think so, maybe they at least get a field goal chance. 408 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 6: They definitely get a field goal opportunity. Yeah, and uh man, 409 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 6: that's the thing in the NCAA. I love this when 410 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,440 Speaker 6: they put out this rule change. The part of it 411 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 6: that really stood out they wrote there should be no 412 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 6: profit when a team fouls, right, and that's exactly what 413 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 6: it was. Like Oregon profited from intentionally putting twelve men 414 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 6: on the field, So that's why the loophole was closed. 415 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 6: I just can't get enough of, Like I can't get 416 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 6: over the difference in coaching staffs, whether it's college football 417 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,080 Speaker 6: the NFL. How many times do you see it where 418 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 6: a team is trailing, we're under two minutes to go 419 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,119 Speaker 6: and there's just a careless delay of game penalty and 420 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 6: I look at the coaching staff. 421 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 5: Like, what are you guys doing? 422 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 2: Call time out? 423 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 6: Like help out your quarterback, help out your offense. And 424 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 6: so you'll see that at times from coaches and then 425 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 6: other times you see what Oregon did, and they put 426 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 6: twelve men on the field intentionally, and that was a 427 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 6: brilliant move. It just we always talk about players being 428 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 6: situationally aware. Man, some of these coaches it applies to 429 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 6: them absolutely as well. Some are on top of it, 430 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 6: some are not. 431 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 7: And it's so hard to judge a head coach because 432 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 7: we don't get to be inside of the building on 433 00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 7: a daily basis. We don't get to hear how they 434 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 7: speak to the team, we don't get to understand their 435 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 7: understanding of the nuance of their offense and defense and 436 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 7: special teams units. You get to hear the way they talk, 437 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 7: and there are certain head coaches who when they get 438 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 7: to the podium, it's very obvious that they have a 439 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 7: global understanding of the game that you know, very few 440 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 7: can contend with. You know, you think out Belichick, You 441 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 7: think about Sean McVay, who every time he speaks about football, 442 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 7: you're like, oh my god, this guy's a genius. He 443 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 7: can recall every single play that he's been a part 444 00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 7: of over the course. It's like a savantism that you're 445 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 7: listening to. When you're listening to Sean McVay recall plays, 446 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 7: he can tell you that down the distance, the temperature, 447 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,360 Speaker 7: the cloud cover, like it's unbelievable. 448 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: You know. 449 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 7: So those are those are those vistas or views into 450 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 7: the world of head coaching. But our best ability to 451 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 7: judge a head coaches when those situations come up that 452 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 7: seems so obvious from us sitting at home that they 453 00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 7: have these blunders where it's like, did he know he 454 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 7: had a timeout or did they mean to take that penalty? 455 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 3: Oh, they absolutely did not. Oh that knocked them out 456 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 3: of field goal range. You know whatever it was. 457 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 7: Yeah, Oh, perfect example Thursday night football, there was a 458 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 7: time out taken with four seconds left on the clock. 459 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 3: The Saints' offense goes out there, takes a knee after 460 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 3: the time out. You're just like Dennis Allen. 461 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 7: Somebody wake up Dennis Allen. 462 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. 463 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,719 Speaker 7: Like so, Dan Lanning, you give him the credit because 464 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 7: I mean, you almost have no choice but to give 465 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 7: him the credit because we get so few moments where 466 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,639 Speaker 7: we can really judge a head coach off of anything 467 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 7: other than a win loss record. And that was a 468 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 7: really heads up, savvy play. And like you said, Jared, 469 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,959 Speaker 7: this could have been a staffer. This could have been 470 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 7: something that a coordinator got on the headset and said, hey, 471 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 7: there's gonna be a runoff if we put twelve men 472 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 7: on the field right now, do it right now. And 473 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,240 Speaker 7: he got lucky or he's brilliant. Either way, they won, 474 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 7: and that was a huge game and they needed that win. 475 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 2: He's brilliant because he surrounded himself with people who are brilliant. 476 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 2: Sometimes the best people, the best coaches, they don't have 477 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 2: to be the smartest mind, but they're the best delegators. 478 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 2: And that's what managing is like. We've all had bad 479 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 2: bosses before who micro managed the crap out of us. 480 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 2: We've all had good bosses before who give us the 481 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: creative read them to be whatever we want to be 482 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 2: in life and in business. I think the interesting thing 483 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 2: about coaching now in college football, it always feels like 484 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 2: it's the minutia. You the best teams right now, think 485 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 2: about the top teams in the country. They all have 486 00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,159 Speaker 2: something quirky about them that make them unique. It's not 487 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 2: as easy anymore as just we have the best players here. 488 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: You go go play like you've got to have more 489 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 2: than that. Fifteen twenty years ago, USC and these great 490 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 2: teams Texas they had Vince Young. Didn't matter what Mac 491 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 2: Brown called. They had Vince Young. He was better than 492 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 2: everybody else. USC had the best roster of that year 493 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 2: at Reggie Bush and all these great players. Didn't really 494 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 2: matter what they called. They probably were gonna have a 495 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 2: successful play. The playing field is much more level now, 496 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:48,920 Speaker 2: you go back, like fifty years than even if you 497 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: had like Jim Brown, you could have called anything no 498 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 2: matter what you were having success.

As Oregon took the field, 557 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 10: the Oregon Duck mascot tripped over an Oregon player, causing 558 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 10: the duck to fall to the turf and causing the 559 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 10: duck's mascot head to fall. 560 00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 3: Off the quatastrophe.

Speaking of mascots, the Atlanta 571 00:29:55,800 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 10: Journal Constitution reporting that Ugga, eleven Bulldogs beloved mascot, did 572 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 10: not make the trip because according to his owner and 573 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 10: I quote he is really young and immature and crazy 574 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 10: as hell and this game just wasn't a good fit unquote. 575 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 10: On that note, back to you guys, Wow. 576 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 5: Thank you Ilo. 577 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 6: It is Fox Sports Radios Campdown to Kickoff presented by 578 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 6: bet MGM.

So I don't I don't know. 588 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 6: How about this Nebraska at IU, well you are you. 589 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 6: I don't know if they do that at football games. 590 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,120 Speaker 6: I'm just going off with basketball games because Indiana has 591 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 6: been trashed for so long in football. 592 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,880 Speaker 5: I have no idea what they do at football games, 593 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 5: but we might learn today. 594 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 6: Quality opponent Nebraska five and zero, Indiana six and oh 595 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 6: they're ranked sixteenth in the country. Kurt Signetti, he called 596 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 6: a shot back in December. 597 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 2: This is great. 598 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:17,000 Speaker 5: They're head coach. It's pretty simple. I win Google me. 599 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 2: What a lie year? I know what a lie? 600 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,640 Speaker 3: But all eyes that's right. 601 00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 6: I UQB. Curtis Rourke. You look at Nebraska. They've been stingy, 602 00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 6: stingy through the air. Have allowed eight touchdowns and seven interceptions, right, 603 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 6: so that's pretty good only six yards per attempt those 604 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 6: black shirts out there. So Curtis Rourke against the Nebraska defense, 605 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 6: that should be pretty good today. 606 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:44,560 Speaker 3: I agree. I agree. 607 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 7: Look, the Hoosiers have been so completely dominant this season. 608 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 7: This is an interesting stat They have yet to trail 609 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,000 Speaker 7: in any game so far this year. Wow, I mean 610 00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:00,880 Speaker 7: that's impressive. I mean, just listen to some of this. Okay, 611 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 7: So they've beat all six of their opponents by at 612 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 7: least fourteen points while averaging forty seven and a half 613 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,240 Speaker 7: points per game. 614 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 3: I know it's early in the season. 615 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 7: I know averages are tough because you play some cupcake 616 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 7: up front, but holy smokes, Rourke, like you mentioned, fourteen 617 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 7: touchdown passes to only two interceptions, so he's careful with 618 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 7: the football even though he's already racked up seventeen hundred 619 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 7: and fifty plus yards. I mean, this is just one 620 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 7: of the most dominant offensive explosions we've seen from a 621 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 7: team year over year. The improvements have been significant. And 622 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 7: I know we're living in the time of nil and 623 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 7: roster turnover can lead to some of these beautiful changes, 624 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 7: because you could be that much better X's and O's, 625 00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 7: Johnny's and Joe's year over year. But you got to 626 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:53,160 Speaker 7: give credit to the head coach. Again, we were just 627 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 7: talking about landing in the same conference. How about what's 628 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 7: happening in Who's your land? 629 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got a chance to make the playoff. I 630 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,920 Speaker 2: mean they really do, because their schedule is super soft 631 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 2: down the stretch, they avoid most of the big boys. 632 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 2: They get Michigan at home. They do have to play 633 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 2: Ohio State. Probably gonna lose that game, although never know. 634 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 2: And yeah, I mean if they run the table, if 635 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 2: they beat Michigan at home and they beat all their 636 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 2: other cupcakes that their favored to, they're one lost team 637 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 2: in the Big Tech. I mean, they might be playing 638 00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 2: in the Big Ten championship game. And if that's the case, 639 00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,800 Speaker 2: it's tough to keep them out. I think they have 640 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,720 Speaker 2: an edge in coaching here, and they've got home field, 641 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 2: although I don't know what Indiana's home field is worth. 642 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,400 Speaker 2: The issues I see with Nebraska Ryola is just he's 643 00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:41,320 Speaker 2: a freshman, right He's outside the top fifteen QBR. His 644 00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:43,880 Speaker 2: only high leverage spot against Illinois, he didn't look great. 645 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,560 Speaker 2: He's had positive game scripts and I think that's helped them. 646 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,600 Speaker 2: Or they got off to a huge lead against Colorado, 647 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 2: didn't have to do a whole lot. Indiana hasn't played anyone, 648 00:33:52,880 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 2: so their top twenty and yards per play a lout 649 00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:59,880 Speaker 2: on defense. But FIU Western Illinois, Charlotte UCLA, which actually 650 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: data points aging better by the week. You see Lace 651 00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 2: looked okay, and Indiana really hammered him. The best offense 652 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 2: that Indiana has played is Maryland, and Maryland moved it 653 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 2: a little bit on him. In fact, I think Maryland 654 00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 2: probably should have performed better in that game. But Maryland's Maryland. 655 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,680 Speaker 2: Edward's can at the broad side of a bar, and 656 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 2: hopefully he does better today against USC. We'll get to 657 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,759 Speaker 2: that in a minute. But I think the variance is 658 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 2: very high in this game because we just don't know 659 00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 2: how good either of these teams are. They haven't played anybody. 660 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 2: Indiana's offense. They are legit, though, I think that's where 661 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 2: they need to make some hay in this game. Wark 662 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 2: is fantastic. He's top five in the country in QBR. 663 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 2: Their skill guys come at you in waves like they 664 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,040 Speaker 2: don't have one guy. They have multiple transfers from Power 665 00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,879 Speaker 2: five schools. Sharot from JMU Signetti coach is fantastic. You've 666 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 2: got Miles Cross who played with Rourker at Ohio. You've 667 00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,800 Speaker 2: got Price from Texas Tech, Williams from Wake Forest Like. 668 00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,719 Speaker 2: You've got just all of this hodge podge that has 669 00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 2: come together and has become a really legit offense. This 670 00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 2: Nebraska defense. I don't know. They did a good job 671 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:04,440 Speaker 2: against Colorado, but again that was a very negative game 672 00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 2: script early they just teed off against Shador. I think 673 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 2: Indiana wins this game, but Spread probably feels right. 674 00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 6: Well, that's the thing, man, with you mentioning that Rich 675 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:15,359 Speaker 6: to not be trailing this year, that's a big key 676 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:16,040 Speaker 6: for Nebraska. 677 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:16,640 Speaker 3: Get a lead. 678 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:17,399 Speaker 2: You get a lead. 679 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 6: To me, it's like racing, like Nascar. If you're out 680 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,400 Speaker 6: front and your nose is clean, it's a lot easier 681 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 6: to operate. How do you perform when you're back in traffic, 682 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,680 Speaker 6: dirty air, traffic all around you? Can you function then too? 683 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,680 Speaker 6: And that's the thing for IU. They haven't been there 684 00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,919 Speaker 6: yet and they might be able to function. We don't 685 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 6: know that yet. But if you're Nebraska, that's where you 686 00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,799 Speaker 6: want to put them. You want to make them uncomfortable 687 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:43,120 Speaker 6: and come from behind. So we'll see if they can 688 00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 6: be successful with that. Today we've got Rich Hornberger fence 689 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:50,440 Speaker 6: stayed all American. Jared Smith FSR betting analyst.

Let's go to some home underdogs today, home underdogs 707 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 2: Saturday across college football, and I'll be honest, I think 708 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 2: a couple of these are a little stinky, actually one 709 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,560 Speaker 2: of them. Brian, I'm very expecting you to be very 710 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 2: on board with Let's start with Maryland at home against USC. 711 00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 2: And this is when we talk about the gauntlet that 712 00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 2: is these teams changing conferences. I don't think USC is 713 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,359 Speaker 2: ready for the physicality that they've faced over the last month. 714 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:14,400 Speaker 2: Their last four games into Big ten no byeweings Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, 715 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,680 Speaker 2: Penn State. Now you have to travel across multiple time 716 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 2: zones and you have to play a one pm bodyclock 717 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,520 Speaker 2: game against the Maryland team. You go back and watch Friday. 718 00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:29,120 Speaker 2: Last Friday against Northwestern probably one of the most embarrassing 719 00:37:29,200 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 2: losses I've ever seen. You get blown out at home 720 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,000 Speaker 2: on a Friday night in prime time to Northwestern. Yet 721 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,280 Speaker 2: this number hasn't really gone out as high as maybe 722 00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 2: some expect. Sitting right around seven and a half. I 723 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,120 Speaker 2: think Maryland the terms get a huge, big ten win 724 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 2: today at home against USC Arkansas against LSU. Again, the 725 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:54,520 Speaker 2: situational handicapping here smacks you in the face. This is 726 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 2: letdown city for LSU. Arkansas's off the buy their quarterback 727 00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:02,840 Speaker 2: is healthy. They're hosting an LSU defense that was just 728 00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:06,280 Speaker 2: on the field for ninety eight plays in an overtime 729 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 2: game against Ole Miss. The numbers sitting right around three, 730 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,520 Speaker 2: you're thinking to yourself, Wait a minute, top ten. LSU 731 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 2: is barely a field goal favorite against Arkansas. Whoo, Big 732 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 2: Sue Hogs get a big win today at home and 733 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:27,959 Speaker 2: take big home country roads. Oh boy, weird things happen 734 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,759 Speaker 2: in Morgantown after dark. People. So West Virginia this is 735 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 2: their last chance to beat a ranked team this year 736 00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 2: because the Big twelve is just the hot mess outside 737 00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 2: of maybe a couple of top teams. I think Avery Johnson, 738 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:46,080 Speaker 2: who is a fantastic quarterback for Kansas State, go look 739 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 2: at his home road splits not as efficient on the road. 740 00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,160 Speaker 2: The game at BYU is the one that really comes 741 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:55,480 Speaker 2: to mind. So I'm taking Kansas State again, a short 742 00:38:56,080 --> 00:39:00,919 Speaker 2: home underdog today West Virginia against a a top ranked, 743 00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,680 Speaker 2: top twenty five Kansas State team. What is West Virginia done? 744 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 2: Not a whole lot. But they beat Kansas State tonight. 745 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,879 Speaker 2: So we got Maryland Arkansas West Virginia on the money 746 00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:12,680 Speaker 2: line fifteen to one. Not about Rice over there at 747 00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 2: bet MGM. 748 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 3: What do we think? 749 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:15,080 Speaker 2: Who ruins it? 750 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 3: Let's see. 751 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,040 Speaker 7: I think the I don't know if they ruin it, 752 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 7: but I think the most compelling matchup of any positional 753 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 7: groups of any of the games that you mentioned is 754 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:30,239 Speaker 7: going to be how the defensive line rush against the 755 00:39:30,360 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 7: offensive tackles Arkansas against LSU. So LSU has those two 756 00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:39,560 Speaker 7: bookend tackles who are all American caliber players. You have 757 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 7: Eric Gregory screaming off the edge for the Pigs. That's 758 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,480 Speaker 7: gonna be the battle, the positional battle. I can't wait 759 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 7: to watch because it's a war in the trenches up front. 760 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,400 Speaker 7: And I think that really tells you who wins that 761 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 7: football game. I really hear that scares me. This is 762 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 7: the game that Brian Kelly absolutely loses them usually. 763 00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:01,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you what ruins at Jared negative attitude, 764 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 6: this idea that this can somehow. 765 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,560 Speaker 2: Be ruined by no Harley is hitting. That's right there 766 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:08,840 Speaker 2: you go. 767 00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm really interested in that Arkansas LSU game because 768 00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 6: both teams are goofy. We've seen Arkansas, they took down Tennessee. 769 00:40:16,600 --> 00:40:19,120 Speaker 6: We see them on the good side, but then we've 770 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 6: seen bad goofy. 771 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 5: Same thing for LSU. So that's gonna be an interesting 772 00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 5: one for sure. 773 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 6: All right, coming up next, Neither of these teams has 774 00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,560 Speaker 6: been what we've expected them to be. 775 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,640 Speaker 5: We got a big game today, we'll preview it. That's 776 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:34,080 Speaker 5: on the way. 777 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:38,240 Speaker 6: Ah, Yes, good morning, welcome in less than two hours 778 00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 6: away from kickoff, getting you all set and man, we 779 00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:45,799 Speaker 6: got a big game this afternoon. Huh, number seven Alabama 780 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 6: against number eleven Tennessee. And it's crazy too where we 781 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,839 Speaker 6: haven't gotten what we thought we would get from either team. 782 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,160 Speaker 6: And I think for Alabama that stands out even more 783 00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 6: because they had that epic win at home against Georgia 784 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:05,000 Speaker 6: and it was just like Kaylin de boor start, you know, 785 00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:09,759 Speaker 6: start building statues of this guy here, and then it's like, well, 786 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,880 Speaker 6: the defense isn't great. They lost to Vanderbilt, they barely 787 00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,919 Speaker 6: beat South Carolina, and then you look at the flip 788 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,640 Speaker 6: side Tennessee's last two games. They lost to Arkansas and 789 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:23,799 Speaker 6: they barely beat Florida in overtime. 790 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:25,200 Speaker 5: And you're like, what is happening here? 791 00:41:25,320 --> 00:41:28,600 Speaker 6: Tennessee's offense hasn't been what we thought it would be. 792 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:32,919 Speaker 6: So I mean, we're seeing the warts with the number 793 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:36,919 Speaker 6: seven and a number eleven team in the country where 794 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 6: we thought we'd beginning more than we have to this point. 795 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,440 Speaker 6: But monster game for a pair of five and one teams. 796 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:46,560 Speaker 6: You obviously don't want to drop your second game when 797 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 6: you're trying to make the playoffs. 798 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,960 Speaker 7: The big one, big one here this afternoon, huge one, 799 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,920 Speaker 7: and yeah, to look at it, you know, a little 800 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 7: bit closer, but still staying a little bit surface level. 801 00:41:57,239 --> 00:42:00,840 Speaker 7: The quarterback competition is really what to look at this 802 00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:05,040 Speaker 7: game with Jellen Milroe over the last two weeks, especially 803 00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 7: looking like he struggled a little bit to sustain what 804 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,120 Speaker 7: we saw against Georgia, two interceptions last weekend and took 805 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:16,360 Speaker 7: a safety against the game Cocks. I think his biggest 806 00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:20,120 Speaker 7: issue is he tries to do too much. He's still 807 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,080 Speaker 7: a young guy. He still doesn't have his head all 808 00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 7: the way wrapped around playing in huge moments in big 809 00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,120 Speaker 7: games at this level, and I think he gets caught 810 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,800 Speaker 7: trying to be Superman. You're not, and you know what, 811 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,040 Speaker 7: nobody is. There's very few human beings who can take 812 00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,239 Speaker 7: over a game by themselves. There's ten other guys on 813 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,520 Speaker 7: the field for a reason. And then you look at 814 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 7: the other side with Nico, who plays like he's kind 815 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,080 Speaker 7: of afraid to make a mistake. 816 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:49,000 Speaker 3: He's a little too reserved, like he doesn't uncork at 817 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:49,879 Speaker 3: him as much. 818 00:42:50,239 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 7: There are times where it feels like Tennessee's offense leaves 819 00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,280 Speaker 7: big play opportunities on the field and their lack of explosiveness, 820 00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 7: especially in bigger games against SEC teams. They they It's 821 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,360 Speaker 7: a little bit of a struggle to watch their offense 822 00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 7: because you're like, okay, and and and they never get 823 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,080 Speaker 7: to that play where they take a chunk out of 824 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:13,680 Speaker 7: the defense. 825 00:43:14,280 --> 00:43:17,800 Speaker 2: I love when when Rich's analysis between the lines matches 826 00:43:17,840 --> 00:43:20,359 Speaker 2: the nerd numbers that I look at, because that means 827 00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 2: we're on the same page. Nico four for thirteen on 828 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,000 Speaker 2: throws twenty plus yards last three games against Florida, Arkansas 829 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,279 Speaker 2: and Oklahoma, eight of twenty four on the year. That 830 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,600 Speaker 2: ain't gonna get it done. Ain't gonna get it done 831 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:33,240 Speaker 2: in the SEC. 832 00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:34,879 Speaker 5: That's a T shirt right there. 833 00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:39,000 Speaker 2: Ain't gonna get it done. You can't. And how about 834 00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:42,200 Speaker 2: on the intermediate stuff ten to nineteen yards fifty sub 835 00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,160 Speaker 2: fifty percent, forty eight percent, zero big time throws, three 836 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:51,640 Speaker 2: turnover worthy plays. This Tennessee offense is designed to break you, 837 00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 2: like Drago and Rocky for I must break you. They 838 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,719 Speaker 2: just go and go and go and go. But if 839 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:02,320 Speaker 2: the explosive play isn't there, then it's just like glass 840 00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:05,960 Speaker 2: Joe from Mike Tyson's punch out, Like it's just jab 841 00:44:06,080 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 2: jab jab jab jeb. You need that upper cut and 842 00:44:08,840 --> 00:44:11,800 Speaker 2: they haven't provided it this year. The word of the 843 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 2: day with this game, with this matchup with these teams 844 00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:17,600 Speaker 2: is variants. I will tell you, and usually I'm pretty 845 00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:20,800 Speaker 2: honest about how I feel about a game. I have 846 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,800 Speaker 2: no freaking clue who's gonna win this game, Absolutely no idea, 847 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:28,680 Speaker 2: no clue, no idea who's gonna be the hot team, 848 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 2: the hot offense, because just look at the variants we've 849 00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 2: seen with these two teams this year heading into the season, 850 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:38,600 Speaker 2: a lot of arguments on both sides is Bama is 851 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 2: Tennessee gonna be good? That variance has manifested on the field. 852 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,200 Speaker 2: Brian mentioned it. I'll give you some details. Bama dominates 853 00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 2: Western Kentucky, South Florida, and Wisconsin absolutely dominates. Plays a 854 00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 2: flawless first quarter against Georgia as good as you could play, 855 00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,800 Speaker 2: almost blows that game. Then they lose to Vandy outright 856 00:44:57,800 --> 00:44:59,960 Speaker 2: as a twenty three point favorite, almost loses South Carolin 857 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 2: as a twenty one point favorite. Good luck figuring out 858 00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:04,680 Speaker 2: which Bama team shows up today. Let's go to Tennessee. 859 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:08,839 Speaker 2: First three games, they outscore Chattanooga, NC State, kent State 860 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 2: one ninety one to thirteen. Then they barely beat Oklahoma, 861 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,560 Speaker 2: lose to Arkansas, as a two touchdown favorite, need overtime 862 00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 2: to beat Florida as another two touchdown favorite. Good luck 863 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:23,400 Speaker 2: guys trying to figure this game out. No idea, absolutely annoying. 864 00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:27,719 Speaker 6: Hey, that's that's the thing with Yamalayava, our guy in 865 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:32,719 Speaker 6: SEC play, he's got the lowest QBR and it's like, 866 00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,920 Speaker 6: what it's at thirty four point eight that's his total 867 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,800 Speaker 6: QBR and SEC play And you just look at this 868 00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:41,759 Speaker 6: chart and you're like, wow, Number two in SEC play 869 00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:43,440 Speaker 6: is Jaln Milroe. 870 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 5: So Jalen Milroe in. 871 00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 6: Conference play has done worlds better than our guy Nico 872 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:54,160 Speaker 6: so far, and so that's obviously got to change. I 873 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 6: try not to be too beholden of the past because 874 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 6: it's about today and the guy on the field and 875 00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:04,040 Speaker 6: these rosters not the past. But every now and then 876 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:06,480 Speaker 6: something can be taken from the past. And I just 877 00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:10,640 Speaker 6: look at this simplistically and think Alabama has won sixteen 878 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,360 Speaker 6: of the last seventeen games in this series, you know, 879 00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:16,240 Speaker 6: and the last time they were at Tennessee they lost 880 00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,279 Speaker 6: net fifty two forty nine unbelievable game. Last second knuckleball 881 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 6: field goal made it. 882 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 5: It was just magic. 883 00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:29,680 Speaker 6: It's like, does it feel like that's on the agenda today, 884 00:46:29,880 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 6: right like this start with. It doesn't feel like that, 885 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,520 Speaker 6: and I gotta say it doesn't. It doesn't mean it's 886 00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,480 Speaker 6: gonna work out like that, but it doesn't feel like 887 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 6: that to me. 888 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,480 Speaker 7: Yeah, this might be one of those games where you 889 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 7: might want to see which way the game is going 890 00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:46,240 Speaker 7: and sprinkle something on the second half because, like Jared, 891 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:47,480 Speaker 7: I really don't. 892 00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,520 Speaker 3: Know what to do with this one. 893 00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,239 Speaker 7: There is so much variance. I'll say this about the 894 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:56,399 Speaker 7: Volunteers offense. If they get Dylan Sampson going the way 895 00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,440 Speaker 7: that he's been to start this season. I read this stat. 896 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,279 Speaker 7: Let me see if I can find it, because it's fascinating. 897 00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:03,319 Speaker 3: Check this out. 898 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,800 Speaker 7: He already has fifteen rushing touchdowns this season. It's the 899 00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 7: most by an SEC player through the first six games 900 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,120 Speaker 7: of a season since nineteen ninety two. Now, the reason 901 00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 7: why that's significant is because it isn't nineteen ninety two. 902 00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,719 Speaker 3: All of these offenses want to throw the football now, 903 00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:21,360 Speaker 3: and the. 904 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:27,920 Speaker 7: Volunteers are playing, like Jared pointed out, this grinding, nauseatingly effective. 905 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,200 Speaker 7: We are going to beat you, beat you into a 906 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:34,000 Speaker 7: pulp type of offense where they're gonna milk the clock. 907 00:47:34,400 --> 00:47:37,920 Speaker 7: They're going to play super conservative with their quarterback and 908 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,000 Speaker 7: they are just going to out tough you. It is 909 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 7: going to be a physical matchup. It reminds me a 910 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,080 Speaker 7: little bit of how the Detroit Lions have looked to 911 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,480 Speaker 7: start the season. You know, they wear down their opponents 912 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,920 Speaker 7: so much so that it's almost like bet against their 913 00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 7: opponents in their next week because they're going to be 914 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:56,080 Speaker 7: grinded into dust. 915 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,560 Speaker 3: Do the same thing against volunteers opponents. 916 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,560 Speaker 7: I bet you you probably have a pretty high winning 917 00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 7: percentage because they out physical. Yet now Alabama they can 918 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 7: do special things too. And Nico was sacked three times 919 00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:15,120 Speaker 7: last week. Alabama got four sacks against the game Cocks 920 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:18,360 Speaker 7: last week. So when they do decide to throw the football, 921 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:22,000 Speaker 7: they better protect Nico in those must pass situations. But 922 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,319 Speaker 7: that is not what the volunteers want to do. They're 923 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,480 Speaker 7: gonna want to get out to an early lead. They're 924 00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,319 Speaker 7: gonna want to sustain that lead with a successful ground game, 925 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,480 Speaker 7: and that has been the path the entire season so 926 00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,440 Speaker 7: far for the volunteers. 927 00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:39,279 Speaker 2: I agree that's the path to beating Alabama is you 928 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 2: keep the ball out of I call him Steph Curry's hands. 929 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,799 Speaker 2: He is Boom or Buss Dalen Milroe. Eight touchdowns, one 930 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,360 Speaker 2: pick on those deep throws twenty plus yards down the 931 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,560 Speaker 2: field with a completion rate over fifty percent. He's completing 932 00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:57,239 Speaker 2: over fifty percent of his passes twenty plus yards downfield. 933 00:48:57,560 --> 00:49:00,920 Speaker 2: Wrap your head around that. It's crazy. They are a 934 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:05,640 Speaker 2: lightning strike waiting to happen. Here's the issue. He takes 935 00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,920 Speaker 2: a lot of sacks. He was running for his life 936 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,960 Speaker 2: against those two stud ends last week. South Carolina's got 937 00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,799 Speaker 2: two first round picks, absolute rock stars on the edge. 938 00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,600 Speaker 2: Tennessee's not as buttoned up defensively, and then without a 939 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:24,279 Speaker 2: big player today Keenan Pilly, twenty six year old seven 940 00:49:24,320 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 2: tier senior towards ACL out for the season. Really tough loss, 941 00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:32,960 Speaker 2: really experienced senior captain type player on Tennessee's defense will 942 00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:36,840 Speaker 2: not play today. That is massive on the other side 943 00:49:36,840 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 2: of the ball. I just I'll be honest. I don't 944 00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 2: love this Tennessee offense. I don't now Bama's defense wolf wolf. 945 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:49,880 Speaker 2: So I think that's the part that's like the variance 946 00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 2: to me, Nico could absolutely be good Nico today, and 947 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,120 Speaker 2: I think Tennessee's very live as a home dog. But 948 00:49:58,239 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 2: if Taylor Green can throw for three hundred plus against 949 00:50:00,719 --> 00:50:04,520 Speaker 2: this Tennessee defense, Jalen Milroe can go off. And that's 950 00:50:05,160 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 2: the part of the other side I just can't get, 951 00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:10,320 Speaker 2: like I want to get to the window on Tennessee. 952 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:14,240 Speaker 2: So bad home dog against the Spama defense. Third Saturday 953 00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:18,320 Speaker 2: in October. It is gonna be absolutely wild in Knoxville. 954 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 2: But the part that just keeps preventing me from clicking 955 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 2: submit on the bet for Tennessee is Jalen Milroe and 956 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 2: his explosive ability. So this is a good game to 957 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:33,560 Speaker 2: grab your popcorn. Maybe wait, maybe a team gets out 958 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,480 Speaker 2: fourteen to nothing, you bet the other side as a 959 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 2: dog because I just don't I think the numbers right, 960 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,640 Speaker 2: and I just I have no idea, absolutely no idea 961 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:42,960 Speaker 2: who has the better of the variants in this game. 962 00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:46,520 Speaker 6: That to me, is the really confusing thing about Tennessee's 963 00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:50,640 Speaker 6: offense is what Rich is saying with Dylan Samson has 964 00:50:50,719 --> 00:50:54,879 Speaker 6: been fantastic this season, and you would think that would 965 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,680 Speaker 6: open up their passing game even more and it hasn't 966 00:50:58,760 --> 00:50:59,279 Speaker 6: worked like that. 967 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:00,800 Speaker 5: I would make more sense. 968 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:03,160 Speaker 6: If it's like, hey, this running game, we can't get 969 00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,719 Speaker 6: anything from the running game. We're one dimensional. They know 970 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,839 Speaker 6: we're throwing. They're just pinning their ears back and rushing us. 971 00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,560 Speaker 6: And that's kind of like stunting our growth over here, right, 972 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,719 Speaker 6: But it's not. They've got a legitimate running game, and 973 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,800 Speaker 6: yet the passing game just hasn't gotten on track. 974 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 5: It's really weird with Tennessee's offense. 975 00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,080 Speaker 2: I just wonder this too. 976 00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:25,960 Speaker 6: Rich With you being in studio and our guy Chris 977 00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:30,400 Speaker 6: Purfett is there who hosts a Detroit podcast and shouts 978 00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:31,960 Speaker 6: out the Lions all the time, we're gonna get a 979 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 6: lot of Lions comparisons with the college games today. 980 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 5: Is that what's going on? 981 00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:39,120 Speaker 7: Yeah, it might be, Yeah, I have this, Yeah, I 982 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 7: have a great JELM Milrow Jared Goff QB comparisons. 983 00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:45,439 Speaker 9: Yeah. 984 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:51,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, but you do your point, Jared. 985 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,560 Speaker 7: I think that Jello mil rowe he is he is 986 00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:02,799 Speaker 7: the the most explosive rushers passer in FBS football at 987 00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:07,320 Speaker 7: his position. And they that offense, that Alabama offense is 988 00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:10,320 Speaker 7: like a lightning strike away at any point to flipping 989 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,640 Speaker 7: a game or flipping a half. And so look out, 990 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,200 Speaker 7: I mean that is that Like you circle his number 991 00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 7: a few times and you say, look We need to 992 00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,360 Speaker 7: get in that dude's kitchen, because once he starts cooking, 993 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,359 Speaker 7: we're in trouble. The other thing, though, if I were 994 00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,279 Speaker 7: going to distill this game in a sentence, though jel 995 00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,920 Speaker 7: Milroe plays too loose, Nico plays too tight. That is, 996 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:37,160 Speaker 7: those are the biggest problems for both of these teams offensively. 997 00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 7: Milroe needs to tighten things down. He needs to stop 998 00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:43,400 Speaker 7: doing too much. He needs to do his job, and 999 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,920 Speaker 7: Nico he needs to start unquirking it. He needs to 1000 00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:50,080 Speaker 7: trust his arm and trust his vision and start showing 1001 00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:51,479 Speaker 7: the volunteers that they can. 1002 00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:52,800 Speaker 3: Stretch the field vertically. 1003 00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:56,160 Speaker 7: Otherwise you're gonna have defenses getting closer and closer to 1004 00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,360 Speaker 7: the line of scrimmage and making a lot harder for 1005 00:52:58,400 --> 00:52:59,960 Speaker 7: a really special back in Dylan Sam. 1006 00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:04,480 Speaker 2: I really love that. It really does sum up the 1007 00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,320 Speaker 2: way these teams play. And I'll give you a stat 1008 00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:10,880 Speaker 2: to back it up, Jalen Milro's pressure to sack ratio, 1009 00:53:11,080 --> 00:53:15,480 Speaker 2: which is something I really take stock in. If you 1010 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:19,520 Speaker 2: look at the NFL, the best quarterbacks in this stat 1011 00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,160 Speaker 2: tend to be the ones that make the magic plays. 1012 00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:25,319 Speaker 2: For example, Patrick Mahomes is known for We talked about 1013 00:53:25,360 --> 00:53:27,880 Speaker 2: this in the Super Bowl. Remember in the Eagles game 1014 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,400 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. In the Super Bowl, everyone's like, oh, 1015 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,280 Speaker 2: Eagles pass rush, Eagles past rush. You can't sack Mahomes. 1016 00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:36,040 Speaker 2: I don't care if it's God out there rushing the passer. 1017 00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:41,200 Speaker 2: Jalen Molrose pressure to sack ratios twenty percent. That's obscene 1018 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,120 Speaker 2: for perspective, Garrett nus Meyer is the best in the 1019 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:49,480 Speaker 2: country in this statistic. Obviously, LSU's offensive line helps less 1020 00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:50,240 Speaker 2: than two percent. 1021 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:50,879 Speaker 3: Wow. 1022 00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,160 Speaker 2: So if you get pressure on Milroe, he will make 1023 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:59,360 Speaker 2: the big mistake. Yep, that is the path for Tennessee. Nico. 1024 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 2: Don't make the big mistake. Loosen up a little bit, relax, Bud, 1025 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:06,360 Speaker 2: maybe do a little yoga before the game, and figure 1026 00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,319 Speaker 2: out a way to make Milrow make that mistake. That's 1027 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:11,600 Speaker 2: how Tennessee upsets Alabama tonight. 1028 00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:13,720 Speaker 5: I think real fast. 1029 00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:18,440 Speaker 6: I think both quarterbacks are what I would call but wait, guys, 1030 00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:22,920 Speaker 6: meaning if you're thinking about betting on Tennessee and you 1031 00:54:23,080 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 6: have all your reasons, man Bama's defense, yikes, they lost 1032 00:54:26,719 --> 00:54:29,840 Speaker 6: to Vandy. But whatever your checklist is. But then it's like, 1033 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:34,680 Speaker 6: but wait, Jalen Milrow some special things happen, and I 1034 00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:37,239 Speaker 6: would say the same thing about Nico if you're thinking 1035 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:41,000 Speaker 6: about backing Alabama, where Nico is talented enough where he 1036 00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,839 Speaker 6: can dazzle, especially against that Bama defense. So it's one 1037 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:47,919 Speaker 6: of these games where when you start you start thinking 1038 00:54:47,920 --> 00:54:51,040 Speaker 6: about what could go wrong if you back one side, 1039 00:54:51,280 --> 00:54:53,279 Speaker 6: and how could the other side, you know, get it 1040 00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 6: done and screw up your bet. 1041 00:54:54,600 --> 00:54:58,000 Speaker 5: I think this is a good game for something like that.

It opened at 1073 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 6: Missouri minus seven, Missouri's only minus three and a half 1074 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:45,799 Speaker 6: right now. 1075 00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:47,759 Speaker 5: That is major move We're talking four and a half 1076 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:48,560 Speaker 5: points right there. 1077 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:55,680 Speaker 6: That's a lot yet happen bade now, Uh, someone who's 1078 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,440 Speaker 6: much better at math than I am, let's dive into this. 1079 00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,600 Speaker 3: Follow the money, real good money. 1080 00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,560 Speaker 6: Yes, it's our guy, Seamus McGee, team lead of sports 1081 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:08,440 Speaker 6: trading at BEDMGM. You know, Seamus, we're just talking about 1082 00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:11,200 Speaker 6: the line movement throughout the week. There's been some major 1083 00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 6: movement on the points spread in this Auburn Missouri game, 1084 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 6: any other game that's caught your attention where you're like, 1085 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,240 Speaker 6: that is a lot of line movement and that sticks 1086 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:22,200 Speaker 6: out like a sore thumb. 1087 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,000 Speaker 9: Hey, guys, thanks for having me back. 1088 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:25,640 Speaker 2: I mean this. 1089 00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,840 Speaker 9: A couple of the big games today. I mean Indiana 1090 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:32,720 Speaker 9: open up minus four and a half. That's that's been 1091 00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,880 Speaker 9: sharply bet up to six and a half now. Even 1092 00:57:35,960 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 9: that Texas Georgia game saw some funky line movement during 1093 00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,000 Speaker 9: the day, starting to see some Georgia buy back. They 1094 00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,880 Speaker 9: opened three and a half, touched four, touched five and 1095 00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,560 Speaker 9: a half, I think briefly before sevened in at four 1096 00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:50,440 Speaker 9: and a half. So I think there's some interesting stuff 1097 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,880 Speaker 9: going on there in the big bigger games today. 1098 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Alabama Tennessee is the one that we just broke 1099 00:57:56,240 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 2: down a little earlier in this hour, And I'm lost 1100 00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 2: with this game. Like, I think three and a half. 1101 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 2: I like Tennessee getting those points at home, but I 1102 00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:08,200 Speaker 2: think three makes sense as a number here because Alabama 1103 00:58:08,320 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 2: is slightly better. But Manna, they volatile and Tennessee, I 1104 00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,600 Speaker 2: just don't know which Tennessee team's gonna show up. 1105 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,560 Speaker 9: It's a weird one. We literally just moved that game 1106 00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,480 Speaker 9: to a flat three on Alabama. I mean Alladama's last 1107 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,880 Speaker 9: six quarters they've played, I mean eight corps they've played 1108 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 9: have not been your ten courts. Back to the Georgia game, 1109 00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:33,440 Speaker 9: that second half, the EXEVA looks very sharp. Meanwhile Tennessee 1110 00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:37,480 Speaker 9: is coming off, you know, really ugly loss to the Arkansas. 1111 00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,919 Speaker 9: I think this number is probably about right, but three 1112 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,240 Speaker 9: and a half is probably where you get to the 1113 00:58:42,280 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 9: point where you might want to bet Tennessee. 1114 00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, and speaking of Arkansas, like, what do we do 1115 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:51,320 Speaker 7: with this LSU Arkansas game? It feels like I actually 1116 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,000 Speaker 7: this goes back to our parlay platter where we got 1117 00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:55,800 Speaker 7: a whoopig siding in terms of. 1118 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:56,560 Speaker 3: The money line. 1119 00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:01,480 Speaker 7: But but what's your feel on on on Tiger's razorbacks there? 1120 00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 7: Because it feels like we may have an upset on 1121 00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,320 Speaker 7: our hands. But that's just a feeling for now. What 1122 00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:08,360 Speaker 7: do you say, Seamus? 1123 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:11,680 Speaker 9: Oh, my feel on this game is absolutely nothing. I'm 1124 00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,640 Speaker 9: saying very far away from this game, I don't I 1125 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,520 Speaker 9: don't know how actually good LSC is. I thought oll 1126 00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:21,480 Speaker 9: miss probably should have won that game last week. Arkansas. 1127 00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:23,640 Speaker 9: I feel like Arkansas has a team. Every time I 1128 00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:27,000 Speaker 9: buy in on them, they let me down tremendously. I 1129 00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:29,680 Speaker 9: can't this team as far as. 1130 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,400 Speaker 2: Today's today, Seamus, you know. 1131 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,560 Speaker 6: What advice you have and what's your general approach where 1132 00:59:37,920 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 6: I'm still hung up on this Auburn Missouri game. Okay, 1133 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,439 Speaker 6: So earlier in the week, Missouri opens at a seven 1134 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 6: point favorite. Let's say you like Auburn. It'd be great 1135 00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 6: to hop on them plus seven. Let's say you missed 1136 00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,760 Speaker 6: that and right now they're plus three and a half. 1137 00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:54,280 Speaker 6: There are a lot of people that would look at 1138 00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,080 Speaker 6: it and say, you have no closing line value. You 1139 00:59:57,200 --> 01:00:00,640 Speaker 6: can't bet it now. You missed your opportunity earlier in 1140 01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:03,640 Speaker 6: the week. Do you subscribe to that or do you 1141 01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 6: look at this and say, if you can make an 1142 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,320 Speaker 6: argument for Auburn plus three and a half, even though 1143 01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,880 Speaker 6: you could have had a better number, do you still 1144 01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:13,240 Speaker 6: want to bet on a team in a spot like that. 1145 01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,680 Speaker 9: It all comes down to personal opinion. You know you 1146 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:18,720 Speaker 9: could have then in your idea, like, oh, I think 1147 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,200 Speaker 9: Auburn should be a pick him against Missouri, but I 1148 01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,080 Speaker 9: doubt I mean, unless you went to Auburn or lived there, 1149 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,080 Speaker 9: I think maybe you'd have that opinion. But I mean, 1150 01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:28,720 Speaker 9: I see three and a half. That just makes you 1151 01:00:28,760 --> 01:00:31,520 Speaker 9: really want to bet in the zoo. But this is 1152 01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:34,680 Speaker 9: definitely one of the weirder sharp moves of the weekend 1153 01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,800 Speaker 9: because I thought I still would have liked Missouri he 1154 01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:39,440 Speaker 9: had six and a half or seven. I love him 1155 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,960 Speaker 9: now at three and a half personally. But it's definitely 1156 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,320 Speaker 9: you know something funky's going on there. Maybe you know 1157 01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:46,439 Speaker 9: someone knows something that a lot of people don't. 1158 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,560 Speaker 2: It's always someone knows right right in Vegas. Vegas nose, 1159 01:00:50,600 --> 01:00:52,080 Speaker 2: I hear Vegas nose. 1160 01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,320 Speaker 9: They know he's never the smartest person in the room. 1161 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,000 Speaker 9: It's one of the first things I learned doing this. 1162 01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,240 Speaker 3: Vegas doesn't know anything with the entire states. 1163 01:01:01,520 --> 01:01:04,120 Speaker 2: It always cracks me up. It's anytime the game lands 1164 01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:07,200 Speaker 2: on the spread, like, Oh, Vegas New Does Vegas know 1165 01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,800 Speaker 2: anything about this South Carolina Oklahoma game. I've seen this 1166 01:01:09,880 --> 01:01:13,360 Speaker 2: one flip favorites a couple times this week. I think 1167 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:18,320 Speaker 2: Oklahoma is vastly, vastly undersized to compete in the SEC. 1168 01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,240 Speaker 2: But I don't trust the seller's quarterback for South Carolina 1169 01:01:21,320 --> 01:01:23,320 Speaker 2: on the road, But it seems like the markets likes them. 1170 01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:29,400 Speaker 9: It's yeah, it's definitely moved to South Carolina favorite in Norman. Yeah. 1171 01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,000 Speaker 9: I mean, if you're looking at if you're talking about 1172 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,120 Speaker 9: look at headlines in the summer, I don't think there's 1173 01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,160 Speaker 9: not only being close to what you're looking at today. 1174 01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,560 Speaker 9: But I mean you're look at Oklahoma in that Red 1175 01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:42,439 Speaker 9: River rivalry games, it couldn't do anything on offense. South 1176 01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:44,640 Speaker 9: Carolina showed that they can still play with a lot 1177 01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 9: of these SEC teams. So is it a letdown spot 1178 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:52,000 Speaker 9: you think for South Carolina? Does Oklahoma get right at home? 1179 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:54,560 Speaker 9: It's a weird game. You can see by the low total. 1180 01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:57,040 Speaker 9: There's not a lot of faith in these weeks quarterbacks 1181 01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,640 Speaker 9: back there for either team. So that's definitely gonna be 1182 01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:01,200 Speaker 9: an interesting to watch at twelve forty. 1183 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 7: Five, Utah hosting TCU back to back losses for them, 1184 01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,600 Speaker 7: I've favored by three, three and a half depending on 1185 01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:13,000 Speaker 7: what books they opened up close to eight point favorites. 1186 01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,520 Speaker 7: You know, what's so funny is the issue with Utah's 1187 01:02:17,560 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 7: you have no idea who's going to parachute in at quarterback? 1188 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,720 Speaker 3: Do we have a sighting of cam Risen? 1189 01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,000 Speaker 7: Did he jump out of a plane somewhere thirty thousand 1190 01:02:27,080 --> 01:02:28,400 Speaker 7: feet above Rice Echos? 1191 01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:31,600 Speaker 3: Will he actually get the start or is he actually hurt? 1192 01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:32,520 Speaker 3: What is vegas? 1193 01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,520 Speaker 9: No, Seamus, I highly doubt it when I look that 1194 01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:39,000 Speaker 9: line moving from six and a half to three and 1195 01:02:39,040 --> 01:02:41,280 Speaker 9: a half where we're at now, even money on Utah 1196 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,200 Speaker 9: on the three and a half. But I mean, Utah 1197 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,680 Speaker 9: is a weird team where you know jam Risegan started 1198 01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:48,560 Speaker 9: in Oklahoma State and they went in there and they 1199 01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:52,520 Speaker 9: dominated that game for about fifty five minutes. So I 1200 01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:54,920 Speaker 9: and I don't really know what to think of his 1201 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:58,960 Speaker 9: PCU team. Really, that's going to be a weird one 1202 01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,680 Speaker 9: for me. Late night kickoff too, so could be it 1203 01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:03,600 Speaker 9: could be a get right game for a lot of 1204 01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:05,760 Speaker 9: people going into the night, depending how the dagoes. 1205 01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:09,080 Speaker 6: Okay, seam, it's two part question.

How about our guy Riley Leonard 1332 01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,920 Speaker 6: five straight games where he's scored a touchdown, been doing 1333 01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 6: damage with his legs, trying to get the old trying 1334 01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 6: to get the arm loosened up over here, Let's get 1335 01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,360 Speaker 6: this passing game going. It's been a little bit better lately, 1336 01:09:52,439 --> 01:09:56,040 Speaker 6: but still not great. Notre Dame very banged up defensively, 1337 01:09:56,200 --> 01:09:59,400 Speaker 6: but it shouldn't bite him today. And just as I 1338 01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,960 Speaker 6: say that, they'll probably lose out right right, Like that's 1339 01:10:01,960 --> 01:10:03,479 Speaker 6: the way it goes into college football. 1340 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:08,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, the Yellow Jackets definitely have exceeded expectations, 1341 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:10,479 Speaker 7: but I don't know if I don't know if an 1342 01:10:10,479 --> 01:10:13,280 Speaker 7: outright win is right what I mean, you know what here, 1343 01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:16,479 Speaker 7: here's the thing I like Riley Leonard. I think that 1344 01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:21,599 Speaker 7: it's tough to learn any new system over the course 1345 01:10:21,680 --> 01:10:24,560 Speaker 7: of your your playing career, or to get used to 1346 01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:28,519 Speaker 7: playing with new faces around an offense. We see this 1347 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,559 Speaker 7: all the time at the professional level. And I mean, 1348 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:33,839 Speaker 7: these are supposed to be the best players on the planet. 1349 01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:38,760 Speaker 7: The herd has been cold to the finest thirty two 1350 01:10:39,200 --> 01:10:43,200 Speaker 7: arms left right, That's that's what we're supposed to believe. 1351 01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:47,080 Speaker 7: And meanwhile, we'll see a Baker Mayfield struggle until he 1352 01:10:47,160 --> 01:10:49,759 Speaker 7: finds a landing spot in Tampa Bay and it just works. 1353 01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,680 Speaker 7: You see a Sam Darnold struggle until he finds the 1354 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:54,720 Speaker 7: landing spot in Minnesota and then it. 1355 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:55,679 Speaker 3: Appears to work. 1356 01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:59,200 Speaker 7: So at the college level, we're going to see a 1357 01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:01,519 Speaker 7: lot more of this with the transfer portal rules being 1358 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:05,720 Speaker 7: so loose and name image and likeness, money, availing opportunities 1359 01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:06,840 Speaker 7: for athletes. 1360 01:11:06,439 --> 01:11:08,080 Speaker 3: To jump from school to school to school. 1361 01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:11,000 Speaker 7: I'm pretty impressed with what Riley Leonard has been able 1362 01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,880 Speaker 7: to cobble together through the early portion of this season. 1363 01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:17,320 Speaker 7: Notre Dame has my attention. That's a team that could 1364 01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:18,920 Speaker 7: be fun to watch finish the season. 1365 01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:19,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1366 01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,599 Speaker 2: I think the game against A and M is aging 1367 01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:26,560 Speaker 2: like fine wine yep. And that's you know when we 1368 01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:29,719 Speaker 2: watch these games early in the year and you're like, Okay, 1369 01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:32,800 Speaker 2: Notre Dame goes into college station and wins. Okay, no 1370 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,200 Speaker 2: big deal, right text A and M's gonna stink, And 1371 01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:37,719 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, well, maybe they don't stink, 1372 01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:42,880 Speaker 2: and maybe Notre Dame's physicality is part of the equation here. 1373 01:11:43,360 --> 01:11:46,880 Speaker 2: They haven't been tested much recently. They had to buy 1374 01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:51,400 Speaker 2: then they beat up on Stanford, and now you get 1375 01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:54,600 Speaker 2: this Georgia Tech team that's banged up without their quarterback 1376 01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 2: and Haines King does way more than just throw the rock. 1377 01:11:57,280 --> 01:11:59,639 Speaker 2: I mean he is like their best runner as well. 1378 01:12:00,680 --> 01:12:03,400 Speaker 2: And this is a Georgia Tech defense that just had 1379 01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:06,759 Speaker 2: a really now they won the game, but a really physical, 1380 01:12:07,560 --> 01:12:13,160 Speaker 2: high scoring game at UNC. So again, I think rest 1381 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:16,679 Speaker 2: versus rust if we want to talk about that, Notre 1382 01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,439 Speaker 2: Dame is very rested. I don't know how rusty they are. 1383 01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:22,160 Speaker 2: They've got four straight wins since that NIU game. They 1384 01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 2: haven't played a lot of tough, decisive football in the 1385 01:12:26,240 --> 01:12:27,760 Speaker 2: last two weeks because they had to buy it and 1386 01:12:27,800 --> 01:12:30,639 Speaker 2: they beat up on Stanford. So maybe Georgia Tech gets 1387 01:12:30,680 --> 01:12:32,920 Speaker 2: off to a fast start and puts you know that 1388 01:12:33,040 --> 01:12:35,040 Speaker 2: they have a good script and they put Leonard in 1389 01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 2: some negative game scripts. But the weakness for this Georgia 1390 01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:41,000 Speaker 2: Tech defense is their secondary. They got, you know, pushed 1391 01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:42,880 Speaker 2: around by UNC last week, who does not have a 1392 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:46,200 Speaker 2: good offense. And I think Notre Dame, I mean, if 1393 01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:48,800 Speaker 2: they out physical this team and they just if they 1394 01:12:48,920 --> 01:12:51,360 Speaker 2: want to win this game by thirty, they can. And 1395 01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:53,080 Speaker 2: I took a little bit of Notre Dame once I 1396 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,920 Speaker 2: heard the King news start to circulate at fourteen. Probably 1397 01:12:56,960 --> 01:12:58,840 Speaker 2: not the best bet, but I think there is a 1398 01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 2: path for Notre Dame to win this game by thirty 1399 01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:04,519 Speaker 2: plus very easily. I like what you're thinking over there, Sharon. 1400 01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:08,080 Speaker 5: I like that, you know, real quick rant. 1401 01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:11,680 Speaker 6: This is like a two minute drill rant, because you know, 1402 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:13,519 Speaker 6: when I'm thinking about Notre Dame. So it was a 1403 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:17,160 Speaker 6: nice story this week where both Army and Navy are ranked. 1404 01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:20,880 Speaker 6: They're both ranked teams, they're undefeated, they've had great starts 1405 01:13:20,920 --> 01:13:23,120 Speaker 6: to the season, and I thought it was funny where 1406 01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:25,599 Speaker 6: it's gonna be a great story. Wow, look at Army, 1407 01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,080 Speaker 6: look at Navy, and all that's gonna stop when it 1408 01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,120 Speaker 6: comes to Notre Dame schedule. And it's like once those 1409 01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:33,479 Speaker 6: teams are on Notre Dame schedules, ah, they're bumps. They're 1410 01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:36,679 Speaker 6: playing Army in Navy, who cares right right this Notre 1411 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:39,400 Speaker 6: Dame ranting it's not a tough schedule. I'm not telling 1412 01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,120 Speaker 6: you it is. But they played A and M who's 1413 01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,639 Speaker 6: still in the top fifteen. Louisville was ranked at the time. 1414 01:13:45,680 --> 01:13:48,760 Speaker 6: They still have Army Navy, both ranked teams usc on 1415 01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:52,120 Speaker 6: the road like that. Listen, it's better than all the 1416 01:13:52,240 --> 01:13:54,720 Speaker 6: belly aching and all the criticism about it. You know 1417 01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:58,800 Speaker 6: whose schedule sucks, Miamis they don't play one ranked team. 1418 01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:03,320 Speaker 6: You know whose schedules sox byus? They have one ranked 1419 01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,800 Speaker 6: team on their schedule. They're barely surviving at home against 1420 01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:09,439 Speaker 6: the garbage Oklahoma State team last night. I'm not sitting 1421 01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:12,680 Speaker 6: here telling you Notre Dame plays murderers Row. But the 1422 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:16,719 Speaker 6: criticisms of Notre Dame schedule are not the same criticism 1423 01:14:16,800 --> 01:14:18,240 Speaker 6: or name Miami schedule. 1424 01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:20,320 Speaker 2: I honestly, Brian, I'm not just trying toot your horn 1425 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:21,800 Speaker 2: like they are a good football team with a good 1426 01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:23,959 Speaker 2: offensive line and a good coach and a good quarterback. 1427 01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:26,040 Speaker 2: Like they are a team that you have to worry about. 1428 01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:33,759 Speaker 6: There you go, got Rich Joan Berger, Penn State All America. 1429 01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:36,280 Speaker 6: Jared Smith FSR, betting analyst. 1430 01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,439 Speaker 5: I'm Brian No. Coming up next.

The Lord Jared will start with 1447 01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:27,680 Speaker 5: you with something you like. 1448 01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,720 Speaker 2: Well, I think we haven't talked about Georgia Texas yet. 1449 01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:32,639 Speaker 2: We're gonna mention them a lot in the last hour, 1450 01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:34,800 Speaker 2: But I really think Carson Beck over two hundred and 1451 01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:36,640 Speaker 2: seventy three and a half passing yards makes a ton 1452 01:15:36,680 --> 01:15:38,800 Speaker 2: of sense. First of all game script, the Longhorns are 1453 01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:41,680 Speaker 2: favored in the game, you would expect Georgia to be 1454 01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:45,200 Speaker 2: behind at some point. And even if they're not behind, 1455 01:15:45,360 --> 01:15:48,120 Speaker 2: let's say Georgia does what they have it done all year, 1456 01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:51,519 Speaker 2: which is start fast. They scored zero combined points in 1457 01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,120 Speaker 2: the first quarter against Clemson, Kentucky and Alabama. That ain't 1458 01:15:54,160 --> 01:15:56,719 Speaker 2: gonna cut it. You gotta score in the first quarter today. 1459 01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:59,439 Speaker 2: Carson back and Georgia. The script has to be good 1460 01:15:59,439 --> 01:16:02,200 Speaker 2: for Mike bow and I think Texas, who has not 1461 01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:05,479 Speaker 2: faced a quarterback with a pulse all season, go back 1462 01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:08,120 Speaker 2: and look at the offenses Texas has faced this year. 1463 01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:11,360 Speaker 2: Carson Beck and this Georgia offense will stretch you vertically, 1464 01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:13,600 Speaker 2: and I think he is a good bet to go 1465 01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:15,799 Speaker 2: over his passing yards brought today in Austin. 1466 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:21,040 Speaker 7: All Right, Gellen mil Roe, he has not been running 1467 01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:24,240 Speaker 7: the football a ton for Alabama, but when he has, 1468 01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:28,640 Speaker 7: it's been effective forty yards or more in three of 1469 01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,360 Speaker 7: six games they played. He had that big game rushing 1470 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:35,080 Speaker 7: on the road, their first road game against Wisconsin, the 1471 01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:38,799 Speaker 7: huge game against Georgia. He had a bunch of yards 1472 01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:43,040 Speaker 7: on the ground. But Tennessee, man, they have not let 1473 01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:46,200 Speaker 7: a lot of quarterbacks rush against them. Nobody has rushed 1474 01:16:46,200 --> 01:16:51,680 Speaker 7: more than forty yards against them. And an Alabama I'm 1475 01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:54,000 Speaker 7: going to say they're going to stick to an aerial 1476 01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:55,759 Speaker 7: attack with Milrell today. 1477 01:16:55,840 --> 01:16:57,599 Speaker 3: Try to exploit the deep part of the field. 1478 01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:02,320 Speaker 7: Tennessee only giving up less send eighty rushing yards per game. 1479 01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,679 Speaker 7: Give me less than forty eight and a half yards 1480 01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:06,920 Speaker 7: rushing for Jellen mill Road today. 1481 01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:08,280 Speaker 3: I'll stay under that prop. 1482 01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:13,920 Speaker 6: All right, listen, I'm gonna go with West Virginia here. 1483 01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:17,439 Speaker 6: I'm gonna back their defense a bit. I'm gonna fade 1484 01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 6: the great Kansas State running back DJ Giddons, who's been 1485 01:17:21,240 --> 01:17:24,200 Speaker 6: really really tough to bring down. But it's a pretty 1486 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,360 Speaker 6: good rush defense that we have over here. With Mountaineers, 1487 01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:31,080 Speaker 6: and Giddens just went crazy against Colorado last week. There's 1488 01:17:31,080 --> 01:17:33,439 Speaker 6: gonna be a lot of focus on him and slowing 1489 01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:36,400 Speaker 6: him down and making this passing attack beat you. 1490 01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:39,000 Speaker 5: So I'm gonna take under one oh three and a 1491 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,799 Speaker 5: half for DJ Giddens on the road this evening against 1492 01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:43,639 Speaker 5: West Virginia. 1493 01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,200 Speaker 6: They're a handful of betside Like I actually like it. 1494 01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:48,559 Speaker 6: It's ticked up quite a bit right before the show. 1495 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 6: But Illinois quarterback Luke Altmeyer, Yeah, I mean, listen, Michigan's 1496 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,360 Speaker 6: run defense is fantastic. You're gonna have to throw it 1497 01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 6: on them. Teams have had success throwing it on Michigan there, 1498 01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:04,320 Speaker 6: but like almost dead last in the Big Ten in 1499 01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:08,760 Speaker 6: past defense. And so Luke Altmeyer over one ninety eight 1500 01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:12,120 Speaker 6: and a half. They're they're out, they don't have their 1501 01:18:12,200 --> 01:18:15,400 Speaker 6: leading rusher. Yeah, they're gonna rush it on Michigan anyway, 1502 01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:17,160 Speaker 6: so they're gonna have to throw it. 1503 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:20,400 Speaker 5: I have a hard time with those goofy throwback uniforms 1504 01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:21,560 Speaker 5: sing like Altmeyer. 1505 01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:26,320 Speaker 6: You're chucking it downfield for fifty yard games. But he's 1506 01:18:26,360 --> 01:18:29,200 Speaker 6: gonna dink and dunk enough and put enough together to 1507 01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:31,280 Speaker 6: get two hundred yards against Michigan today. 1508 01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:32,439 Speaker 5: I think that one goes over. 1509 01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,519 Speaker 2: I like that one, especially with Fagan out. I think 1510 01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:37,560 Speaker 2: so I gave out for the video I do on 1511 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,320 Speaker 2: on Fridays for bet MGM. I get right up and 1512 01:18:40,479 --> 01:18:43,360 Speaker 2: gave out the video that Georgia Texas over. I think 1513 01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,519 Speaker 2: if you were cooking up a same game parlay today 1514 01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:48,400 Speaker 2: with some touchdown scorers and some you know, passing yards 1515 01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:52,080 Speaker 2: receiving yards, this just feels like a shootout. 1516 01:18:52,360 --> 01:18:52,720 Speaker 9: It does. 1517 01:18:53,160 --> 01:18:56,479 Speaker 2: It feels like the Alabama game. Maybe I'm overreacting. Maybe 1518 01:18:56,560 --> 01:19:00,320 Speaker 2: Kirby Smart draws up an elite defensive game play to 1519 01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:05,120 Speaker 2: keep this Texas offense in check. But every angle I 1520 01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:09,040 Speaker 2: look at in this game, Georgia defense struggling. Michael Williams 1521 01:19:09,120 --> 01:19:11,479 Speaker 2: hurnt three out of their four leading tacklers on Georgia 1522 01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,600 Speaker 2: in the secondary. That's like the leading indicator of a 1523 01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:18,240 Speaker 2: struggling defense when your tacklers are all coming from the secondary. 1524 01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,839 Speaker 2: And on the other side, look at the offenses Texas 1525 01:19:20,920 --> 01:19:24,479 Speaker 2: is face this year. Oklahoma quarterback trash, Mississippi State trash 1526 01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:29,960 Speaker 2: ulm and improving, but trash utsa trash, Michigan offense trash, 1527 01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:33,679 Speaker 2: Like it's just who has Texas played. George is gonna 1528 01:19:33,880 --> 01:19:35,720 Speaker 2: absolutely push it vertically in this game. 1529 01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:41,479 Speaker 5: Improving but Trash, well that's improving, but Trash, it's like 1530 01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:43,080 Speaker 5: the MLS ratings. 1531 01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:46,400 Speaker 2: There's something improving. They were like the worst thing. Their 1532 01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:48,280 Speaker 2: win total was like one and a half heading into 1533 01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,519 Speaker 2: the season. They're already way over it. So they're improving, 1534 01:19:50,680 --> 01:19:54,200 Speaker 2: but they're still tracking. So looking up all. 1535 01:19:55,760 --> 01:20:02,840 Speaker 6: Right, Coming up next, Top five duel we got no Ah, Yes, 1536 01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,200 Speaker 6: good morning to you. We are less than an hour 1537 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:09,679 Speaker 6: away from kickoff and uh, more than one hour away 1538 01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,840 Speaker 6: from one of the best games all day. This is 1539 01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:17,639 Speaker 6: number five Georgia against number one Texas. Texas with fifty 1540 01:20:17,760 --> 01:20:19,040 Speaker 6: six first place. 1541 01:20:18,920 --> 01:20:22,000 Speaker 5: Votes this week in the AP poll. Huh, they're looking 1542 01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:23,639 Speaker 5: like the head hon show right now. 1543 01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:27,920 Speaker 6: But Quinn yours little rusty, little rusty last week miss 1544 01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:30,680 Speaker 6: two and a half games with that oblique injury. This 1545 01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:35,519 Speaker 6: Georgia defense man not great and they're having trouble tackling. 1546 01:20:36,120 --> 01:20:40,000 Speaker 6: I think that's a big ingredient in this game, because 1547 01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:42,639 Speaker 6: we know Texas they like all these little short passes 1548 01:20:42,800 --> 01:20:44,720 Speaker 6: and they get the ball out in space and they 1549 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,080 Speaker 6: test your tackling, and so Georgia's got to do a 1550 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:51,000 Speaker 6: much better job tackling tonight than they have most of 1551 01:20:51,080 --> 01:20:51,880 Speaker 6: the time this season. 1552 01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:52,960 Speaker 5: It just hasn't been good. 1553 01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:55,880 Speaker 7: Another war in the trench is gonna be good to 1554 01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:59,760 Speaker 7: watch this Texas offensive line against this Georgia defensive line. 1555 01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:02,240 Speaker 3: I think that is going to tell you a lot 1556 01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:04,240 Speaker 3: about the way this game is gonna go. 1557 01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:09,760 Speaker 7: But Texas deserved, or I should say deserves the number 1558 01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:12,920 Speaker 7: one spot. Overall, they've looked like the most dominant team 1559 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:15,760 Speaker 7: in the country, regardless of who's played quarterback for them 1560 01:21:15,840 --> 01:21:20,680 Speaker 7: so far. Their closest game is a victory against Mississippi 1561 01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:24,000 Speaker 7: State and the margin of winning was twenty two points. 1562 01:21:24,439 --> 01:21:27,160 Speaker 7: They have blown the doors off of everybody they've faced, 1563 01:21:27,560 --> 01:21:30,719 Speaker 7: and they really haven't looked like they've struggled at any point. 1564 01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:35,120 Speaker 7: But to your point, Georgia, their defense could be better tacklers, 1565 01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:38,040 Speaker 7: but they get good pressure on quarterbacks. They do a 1566 01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:42,160 Speaker 7: good job up front of making the holes skinny for 1567 01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,320 Speaker 7: running backs to fit through. And so this is gonna 1568 01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:49,400 Speaker 7: be a battle of the starting five O linemen for 1569 01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:52,759 Speaker 7: the Longhorns against the Dogs front seven. 1570 01:21:52,840 --> 01:21:53,799 Speaker 3: We'll see who's tougher. 1571 01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:58,040 Speaker 2: You know what's crazy, Georgia hasn't been an underdog in 1572 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:04,280 Speaker 2: three years. Yeah. Wow, forty nine straight games is a favorite. 1573 01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:06,880 Speaker 2: They were a dog in the twenty one season opener 1574 01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:10,519 Speaker 2: against Clemson. Come a long way since then. They're one 1575 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:12,840 Speaker 2: in five against the spread this year. The market is 1576 01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:15,840 Speaker 2: just not like they're winning games. They're five and one 1577 01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:17,760 Speaker 2: straight up, but they're not covering, and I think that 1578 01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:20,519 Speaker 2: kind of tells you where both teams are, because Texas 1579 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,000 Speaker 2: is winning games and covering the number. When you look 1580 01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:28,200 Speaker 2: at Texas's offense, rich we love talking a line absolutely. 1581 01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:30,120 Speaker 2: I think Texas has the best O line in the country. 1582 01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:33,200 Speaker 2: It might not feel that way because of all the 1583 01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,400 Speaker 2: other weapons they have, but their left tackle Kelvin Banks, 1584 01:22:36,640 --> 01:22:40,080 Speaker 2: has not allowed to sack this year. Yep, He's gone 1585 01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:43,760 Speaker 2: five straight games not allowing a pressure. That is silly. Now. 1586 01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:46,680 Speaker 2: I know the way they track pressures might be like 1587 01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:49,040 Speaker 2: he maybe you know, he's not playing as good as 1588 01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:51,880 Speaker 2: those numbers indicate, but he is right at the top. 1589 01:22:52,400 --> 01:22:55,040 Speaker 2: We talked about the Texas receivers last week. It's like 1590 01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:59,720 Speaker 2: a medieval torture chamber. Isaiah Bond, Ryan Wingo will stretch 1591 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:02,880 Speaker 2: you vertically. Wing goes averaging almost twenty three yards to catch. 1592 01:23:02,920 --> 01:23:05,759 Speaker 2: He's a true freshman. He's got a higher Pro Football 1593 01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:09,720 Speaker 2: Focus grade than Jeremiah Smith, who most regard as the 1594 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:13,160 Speaker 2: second best freshman in the country behind Ryan Williams. Well, 1595 01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:17,000 Speaker 2: maybe it's this wingo kid. The tight end Helm is 1596 01:23:17,160 --> 01:23:19,519 Speaker 2: not as explosive as their guy last year, but he's solid. 1597 01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:23,600 Speaker 2: The question is just who is this Georgia defense? Like 1598 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:26,920 Speaker 2: this is a Georgia defense that's ranked fifty fifth in 1599 01:23:27,080 --> 01:23:31,880 Speaker 2: yards per play alout Usually there's one five removed from 1600 01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:36,880 Speaker 2: that ranking. Georgia historically top ten defense under Kirby Smart. 1601 01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:40,920 Speaker 2: Not the case this year. Injuries Mico Williams he played 1602 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:44,720 Speaker 2: twenty five snaps against Bama, seventeen snaps the last two 1603 01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:48,240 Speaker 2: games against Mississippi State and Aubourne. Probably load management. He'll 1604 01:23:48,280 --> 01:23:51,439 Speaker 2: probably play twenty twenty five snaps today, But what are 1605 01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:55,200 Speaker 2: you getting out of him? Their highest graded defender, Smile London, 1606 01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:58,280 Speaker 2: out with an injury in this game. We mentioned this 1607 01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:01,360 Speaker 2: in the last segment. Three out of their four leading 1608 01:24:01,479 --> 01:24:04,320 Speaker 2: tacklers this year are in the secondary. That means that 1609 01:24:04,400 --> 01:24:06,639 Speaker 2: the runs are getting to the second level and it's 1610 01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,519 Speaker 2: the corners and the safeties that are having to clean 1611 01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,280 Speaker 2: up the mass. Like that is just not going to 1612 01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:15,000 Speaker 2: win this game. Kirby's made really good adjustments. They controlled 1613 01:24:15,040 --> 01:24:17,519 Speaker 2: the tempo in the second half against Bama. They need 1614 01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:20,760 Speaker 2: sixty minutes today, Like, we can't have slow first quarter 1615 01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:24,800 Speaker 2: and then bounce back second half. Texas, if they're gonna 1616 01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,120 Speaker 2: come at you quick, George's gotta be ready from the jump. 1617 01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:28,479 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1618 01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:32,760 Speaker 5: I just have a simple question. Is Texas overrated? 1619 01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,679 Speaker 6: That's my question, based on who they've played, who they've 1620 01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:39,840 Speaker 6: beaten thus far. Because listen, they're a quality team. I'm 1621 01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:42,960 Speaker 6: not saying that it's just smoking mirrors, but are we, 1622 01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:46,720 Speaker 6: like the general public, are we a little too convinced 1623 01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:50,240 Speaker 6: that they're legit based on what they went on the 1624 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,120 Speaker 6: road and smacked around a Michigan team who is number 1625 01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:56,240 Speaker 6: ten at the time. But what's Michigan exactly this season? 1626 01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:58,759 Speaker 6: They're a team that just lost on the road to Washington. 1627 01:24:58,960 --> 01:24:59,519 Speaker 2: You know what I mean. 1628 01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:04,400 Speaker 6: Michigan isn't special this year. Oklahoma, Okay, Texas smacked around 1629 01:25:04,439 --> 01:25:11,280 Speaker 6: Oklahoma last week and the Red River rivalry got a nuncle. Okay, 1630 01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:15,960 Speaker 6: what's Oklahoma? Oklahoma is booty delicious this year? They're not 1631 01:25:16,040 --> 01:25:17,960 Speaker 6: a good football team. Sorry, They're just not. 1632 01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:21,639 Speaker 2: So I need to see more. 1633 01:25:21,880 --> 01:25:23,799 Speaker 5: This isn't you play who's on your schedule? 1634 01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:27,120 Speaker 6: I get it, But I want to see Texas against 1635 01:25:27,320 --> 01:25:28,759 Speaker 6: a quality opponent. 1636 01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:30,240 Speaker 5: Maybe it's Georgia tonight. 1637 01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:34,160 Speaker 6: I want to see them look impressive against a better 1638 01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:38,120 Speaker 6: team than Michigan or Oklahoma. Right, So that's the question 1639 01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:42,120 Speaker 6: in my mind. Is Texas a little bit overvalued even 1640 01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:44,800 Speaker 6: though they're a quality team. We talk about their running 1641 01:25:44,840 --> 01:25:47,680 Speaker 6: back position, how many guys have gotten hurt? It's like 1642 01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:51,640 Speaker 6: the spinal tap drummer, right, guys just keep dropping. And 1643 01:25:51,880 --> 01:25:54,400 Speaker 6: although they have a lot of strengths that old line 1644 01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:57,320 Speaker 6: you pointed it out, Jared, and their run defense is 1645 01:25:57,360 --> 01:25:59,320 Speaker 6: the best in the SEC. I'm not telling you that 1646 01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:03,960 Speaker 6: they don't strengths. They clearly do, But is our appraisal 1647 01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,160 Speaker 6: of them? It'd be like, hey, how much is this 1648 01:26:06,320 --> 01:26:10,559 Speaker 6: TV worth? It's used, it's five years old, and you're like, oh, 1649 01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,240 Speaker 6: three thousand bucks. It's like, no, it isn't is that 1650 01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:14,240 Speaker 6: worth that much? Like? 1651 01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,559 Speaker 5: Are we appraising Texas a little bit too high? 1652 01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:17,960 Speaker 2: Right now? 1653 01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:19,400 Speaker 5: That's a fair question, it is. 1654 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:22,760 Speaker 7: And like you mentioned, and like we were talking about 1655 01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:27,880 Speaker 7: earlier with Notre Dame, it's not always fair to judge 1656 01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:32,120 Speaker 7: a team against their schedule, because you can only help 1657 01:26:32,200 --> 01:26:34,400 Speaker 7: that to solve to a certain extent. 1658 01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:36,720 Speaker 3: It is what it is you play the teams you play. 1659 01:26:37,840 --> 01:26:39,720 Speaker 3: The place that I think I. 1660 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:44,080 Speaker 7: Believe in Texas, even though they haven't been tested not 1661 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,519 Speaker 7: to this extent yet and we're gonna learn a lot today, 1662 01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:50,800 Speaker 7: is the fact that they've made such improvements at such 1663 01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:54,320 Speaker 7: key parts of their team, like they're they're coverage grades 1664 01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:58,160 Speaker 7: when you really do get into the nerdier analytics are 1665 01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:03,639 Speaker 7: fantastic and so you're year That is such a benefit 1666 01:27:03,800 --> 01:27:07,840 Speaker 7: for a team that has talented passers, so that they 1667 01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,080 Speaker 7: can absolutely pile up points in a hurry, but then 1668 01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:12,720 Speaker 7: they can limit the damage you do, and as a 1669 01:27:12,800 --> 01:27:16,320 Speaker 7: relationship to their defensive front, it gives them more time 1670 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,600 Speaker 7: to rush the passer when everybody's covered. That means that 1671 01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,880 Speaker 7: a quarterback has to make a decision when the clock 1672 01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:24,400 Speaker 7: goes off in his head to throw a bad pass, 1673 01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:26,960 Speaker 7: make a poor decision to extend the play if. 1674 01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:29,360 Speaker 3: You can, or you may run out of time and 1675 01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:30,240 Speaker 3: just get sacked. 1676 01:27:30,479 --> 01:27:33,160 Speaker 7: And so the pressure rate for the defensive line of 1677 01:27:33,200 --> 01:27:35,600 Speaker 7: the Longhorns has been great too as a result. So 1678 01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:40,519 Speaker 7: everything affects everything, you know, a good defense obviously has 1679 01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,600 Speaker 7: or should say, a good coverage unit obviously has a 1680 01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:47,040 Speaker 7: great effect on a defensive front. But then that trickles 1681 01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:49,479 Speaker 7: to the offense, where you get a couple of sacks 1682 01:27:49,560 --> 01:27:51,719 Speaker 7: or a couple of poorly thrown balls, or a couple 1683 01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,880 Speaker 7: of third down conversions that don't go the opposing offensive's 1684 01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:59,760 Speaker 7: way or interceptions, or or it gives more opportunities for 1685 01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:03,639 Speaker 7: a high octane Texas Long Horns offense that has been 1686 01:28:03,720 --> 01:28:07,799 Speaker 7: dominant throughout the early portion of this season. So Texas, 1687 01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:12,040 Speaker 7: until proven otherwise, in my mind, is the upper crust. 1688 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,400 Speaker 7: They're the top tier. And even though this is a 1689 01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:18,800 Speaker 7: great test for the long Horns, I feel like it's 1690 01:28:18,880 --> 01:28:22,519 Speaker 7: more about, hey, what can Georgia do to mitigate some 1691 01:28:22,760 --> 01:28:24,240 Speaker 7: of what they're gonna see today? 1692 01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:28,559 Speaker 2: I love this game so much money like the market 1693 01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:30,639 Speaker 2: likes Texas, the market likes the over. I don't think 1694 01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:35,519 Speaker 2: either of those things are any surprise. But to Brian's point, 1695 01:28:35,680 --> 01:28:38,160 Speaker 2: and this is the first line of my notes on 1696 01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:44,560 Speaker 2: Texas defense not been tested right, here's why. Average efficiency 1697 01:28:44,640 --> 01:28:47,679 Speaker 2: rank of the opposing offenses this year is eighty third. 1698 01:28:49,120 --> 01:28:52,080 Speaker 2: Two of the six offenses they played have benched the 1699 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:57,599 Speaker 2: quarterback since they played them. The last two quarterbacks they 1700 01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:01,519 Speaker 2: faced were backups to start the year, true freshman making 1701 01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:07,479 Speaker 2: first college football starts. Yeah, it just that's not Carson Beck. 1702 01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:12,880 Speaker 2: It's just not he has a pulse. Georgia is a 1703 01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:16,639 Speaker 2: top twenty five offense. Texas hasn't even sniffed the top 1704 01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,800 Speaker 2: fifty offense this year. Now, that doesn't mean they can't 1705 01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:25,599 Speaker 2: raise their level and compete with Georgia, but this will 1706 01:29:25,680 --> 01:29:30,719 Speaker 2: be a very very interesting data point for Texas's defense. 1707 01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:34,679 Speaker 2: If their defense can control the tempo of this game, 1708 01:29:35,200 --> 01:29:37,760 Speaker 2: which they've done in years past in big games. They 1709 01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:40,320 Speaker 2: did it last week, but again against a quarterback that 1710 01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:44,720 Speaker 2: is barely breathing. I think that is the like. If 1711 01:29:44,800 --> 01:29:49,559 Speaker 2: Texas goes out tonight, covers game, stays under defense plays, well, 1712 01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:52,240 Speaker 2: that's it. They're the number one team in the country 1713 01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:55,720 Speaker 2: and it's it's really hard to argue with that. If 1714 01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:59,000 Speaker 2: this is a back and forth, high scoring game, Texas 1715 01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:02,160 Speaker 2: wins on a last and field goal, It's like the 1716 01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:05,120 Speaker 2: Georgia Bama game. It's a throwaway data point. It's really 1717 01:30:05,200 --> 01:30:08,439 Speaker 2: hard to sift through it. That's why we get to 1718 01:30:08,479 --> 01:30:10,800 Speaker 2: sit back and watch. I think the only bet that 1719 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,600 Speaker 2: I really like is the over here. I bet at 1720 01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:14,240 Speaker 2: fifty six and a half yesterday I gave it out 1721 01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:17,840 Speaker 2: on that MGM video. I think if this gets to five, 1722 01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,080 Speaker 2: that seems to be where the Georgia money has stepped in. 1723 01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,800 Speaker 2: But I really just like the Bama Tennessee game. I 1724 01:30:23,920 --> 01:30:25,720 Speaker 2: really want to sit back. I really want to see 1725 01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:28,160 Speaker 2: how Georgia starts. Can they start fast? They have not 1726 01:30:28,280 --> 01:30:31,679 Speaker 2: started fast. They scored zero combined points in their three 1727 01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:34,959 Speaker 2: high leverage games in the first quarter Clemson, Kentucky, Alabama 1728 01:30:35,760 --> 01:30:39,080 Speaker 2: zero first quarter points in all three of those games. 1729 01:30:39,240 --> 01:30:42,040 Speaker 2: That's like the top shelf scripted plays. They can't score 1730 01:30:42,080 --> 01:30:45,080 Speaker 2: in the first quarter. That struggle. But again, Texas hasn't 1731 01:30:45,080 --> 01:30:48,920 Speaker 2: played anybody on offense, so really interesting matchup, really interesting. 1732 01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:52,639 Speaker 5: I love this little nugget here. Something to just keep 1733 01:30:52,680 --> 01:30:53,080 Speaker 5: in mind. 1734 01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:57,599 Speaker 6: Over the last four years, Kirby Smart's only three losses 1735 01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:01,599 Speaker 6: have all been against Alabama. He's forty seven and zero 1736 01:31:02,160 --> 01:31:05,840 Speaker 6: against everybody else. And you might look at that and say, Wow, 1737 01:31:05,920 --> 01:31:08,559 Speaker 6: that's just pretty impressive. Is Texas Alabama? 1738 01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:09,799 Speaker 5: No Texas? Is Texas? 1739 01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:14,440 Speaker 6: So forty seven and goose egg against everybody not named Alabama. 1740 01:31:14,960 --> 01:31:17,240 Speaker 6: That stands out, But it's a little bit of a 1741 01:31:17,560 --> 01:31:21,759 Speaker 6: then and now stat I would say where that's mostly 1742 01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:25,920 Speaker 6: the then is all that winning more dominant rosters and 1743 01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:28,400 Speaker 6: teams in the past for Georgia, not as much right 1744 01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:31,280 Speaker 6: now because the now you look at it and you say, well, 1745 01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:34,720 Speaker 6: Georgia barely beat Kentucky, they lost to Bama, they were 1746 01:31:34,840 --> 01:31:37,040 Speaker 6: unimpressive against Mississippi State. 1747 01:31:37,439 --> 01:31:39,759 Speaker 5: What's up with the defense? What's up with the tackling? 1748 01:31:40,240 --> 01:31:41,400 Speaker 2: College football is crazy? 1749 01:31:41,439 --> 01:31:41,599 Speaker 3: Man? 1750 01:31:41,640 --> 01:31:45,680 Speaker 6: Think about the opener and Georgia just crushing Clemson in 1751 01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:49,160 Speaker 6: the second half, and since then we're looking at Georgia like, 1752 01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:50,400 Speaker 6: what's up with you guys? 1753 01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:51,160 Speaker 2: And Clemson? 1754 01:31:51,200 --> 01:31:54,759 Speaker 5: No one can slow them down. They're like an offensive 1755 01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:55,960 Speaker 5: machine right now. 1756 01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:59,360 Speaker 6: So it's a long season. And with that in mind, 1757 01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:03,360 Speaker 6: that's why right back to Texas, it is a long season. 1758 01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:06,120 Speaker 6: And even though they're very, very talented, they have not been. 1759 01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:07,439 Speaker 5: Tested like this before. 1760 01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:11,519 Speaker 6: And this will no doubt to Jared's point, to Rich's point, 1761 01:32:11,600 --> 01:32:15,200 Speaker 6: this is the toughest test they faced by far, especially offensively. 1762 01:32:15,400 --> 01:32:19,720 Speaker 5: You got dudes getting benched at quarterback, Like, yeah, you 1763 01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:20,439 Speaker 5: got a bunch. 1764 01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:24,160 Speaker 6: Of backup dudes taken on Texas. That's not Carson Beck, 1765 01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:27,800 Speaker 6: who is listen. I know it's a costly interception against 1766 01:32:27,840 --> 01:32:30,960 Speaker 6: Bama on the road, but he still is an upper 1767 01:32:30,960 --> 01:32:32,759 Speaker 6: echelont quarterback like college football. 1768 01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:35,640 Speaker 7: He can sling it and then I'll remind everybody for 1769 01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:40,360 Speaker 7: anybody who again, like we talked about, sometimes there's indelible 1770 01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:43,200 Speaker 7: impressions that game throughout the course of a season for 1771 01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:45,680 Speaker 7: certain teams or players get stuck in your head and 1772 01:32:45,760 --> 01:32:46,080 Speaker 7: it's like. 1773 01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:46,719 Speaker 3: On a loop. 1774 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:49,640 Speaker 7: Carton Beck also went out in the second half of 1775 01:32:49,720 --> 01:32:53,160 Speaker 7: that game, the second half. This is two quarters of 1776 01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:56,120 Speaker 7: football and through for three p thirty nine and three 1777 01:32:56,240 --> 01:33:00,679 Speaker 7: touchdowns against that Bama defense. So Carton Beck is a lead. 1778 01:33:01,439 --> 01:33:03,760 Speaker 7: Now quinni Ewer's on the other side. This is going 1779 01:33:03,840 --> 01:33:05,880 Speaker 7: to be really the test of the night is to 1780 01:33:05,920 --> 01:33:09,000 Speaker 7: see how Georgia handles yours, because as good as that 1781 01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:12,759 Speaker 7: offensive line is with a clean pocket, he actually struggles 1782 01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:16,400 Speaker 7: more than when he's facing pressure, which is bizarre, but 1783 01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:20,840 Speaker 7: it forces a defensive coordinator say, okay, so what do 1784 01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:23,320 Speaker 7: we want to do. Do we want to play coverage 1785 01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:26,400 Speaker 7: and let us let him pick us apart underneath, or 1786 01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:28,960 Speaker 7: do you want to gamble and get a little pressure 1787 01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:31,479 Speaker 7: in his kitchen and see how he handles the rush, 1788 01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:35,040 Speaker 7: and so I think that's gonna be a huge determination. Also, 1789 01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:38,880 Speaker 7: I'm very curious to see the what Georgie's defense, what 1790 01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,000 Speaker 7: the Dogs do defensively. Are we gonna see pressure in 1791 01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:44,320 Speaker 7: the first half or are they gonna let youers sit 1792 01:33:44,439 --> 01:33:48,040 Speaker 7: back there and get comfortable. This is a fascinating game. 1793 01:33:48,439 --> 01:33:51,479 Speaker 7: Look like you said, Jared, I'm gonna sit back and watch. 1794 01:33:52,080 --> 01:33:54,600 Speaker 7: I can't put I can't put a. I mean, I 1795 01:33:54,680 --> 01:33:57,120 Speaker 7: think the over is probably a smart play, like you mentioned, 1796 01:33:57,160 --> 01:33:59,760 Speaker 7: But this one, I'm just gonna pop my popcorn. 1797 01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:01,080 Speaker 3: I'm gonna sit on the couch. 1798 01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:05,240 Speaker 7: I'm gonna join myself some some SEC football, some classic 1799 01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:09,559 Speaker 7: SEC football between Texas and Georgia in Austin. 1800 01:34:09,680 --> 01:34:11,400 Speaker 2: And this could be a changing of the guard kind 1801 01:34:11,439 --> 01:34:14,040 Speaker 2: of game because Brian, you nailed it, like Georgia doesn't 1802 01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:16,640 Speaker 2: lose unless it's Bama. Well it's not Bama tonight, and 1803 01:34:16,680 --> 01:34:19,960 Speaker 2: they're a pretty sizable dog. So what we'll see how 1804 01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:23,120 Speaker 2: that plays out. As we discuss this game, it's like 1805 01:34:23,160 --> 01:34:26,439 Speaker 2: the market's listening to us. I am seeing some movement 1806 01:34:26,600 --> 01:34:30,040 Speaker 2: to the under m so and it's. 1807 01:34:29,880 --> 01:34:30,640 Speaker 5: Always great for the. 1808 01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:40,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, doubt it's a strong. 1809 01:34:40,080 --> 01:34:42,439 Speaker 2: Case for the over and it's just like total tanks. 1810 01:34:42,640 --> 01:34:47,240 Speaker 2: But would it really surprise any of us? Like closure, 1811 01:34:47,320 --> 01:34:48,680 Speaker 2: I do this in the NFL all the time. I 1812 01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:50,400 Speaker 2: close my eyes, try to think who's on the on 1813 01:34:50,479 --> 01:34:53,120 Speaker 2: the podium that Goodell's handing Lombardi Trophy to. Usually it's 1814 01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:55,920 Speaker 2: not like Gino Smith. Usually it's Patrick Mahomes. But close 1815 01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,840 Speaker 2: your eyes and just envision this game playing out. Would 1816 01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:01,880 Speaker 2: it shock you if Kirby Smart pulls a rabbit out 1817 01:35:01,880 --> 01:35:04,920 Speaker 2: of his hat and turn Texas offense into pumpkins tonight? No, 1818 01:35:05,560 --> 01:35:08,559 Speaker 2: that wouldn't shock me. Right, that's very on Kirby's smart brand. 1819 01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:13,679 Speaker 2: If he dialed up the right scheme to make Texas's 1820 01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:16,519 Speaker 2: offense look a little ordinary, Yeah, that wouldn't shock me 1821 01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:16,800 Speaker 2: at all. 1822 01:35:17,400 --> 01:35:20,799 Speaker 6: Don't you think back to last year, right when Texas 1823 01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:24,559 Speaker 6: was favored against TCUM and they were like seven point 1824 01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:29,200 Speaker 6: home favorites. TCU couldn't stop the run to save their life, 1825 01:35:29,680 --> 01:35:32,479 Speaker 6: And you're like, it's I guess it was two years ago, right, 1826 01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:35,120 Speaker 6: it was with Bijon Robinson he was still there, and 1827 01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:38,200 Speaker 6: You're like, how in the world are they gonna slow down? 1828 01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:41,799 Speaker 6: Bijon in this Texas running and Texas couldn't do anything. 1829 01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:45,719 Speaker 6: They couldn't gain yards in that game, Like college football 1830 01:35:45,720 --> 01:35:47,920 Speaker 6: can get weird at times. So yeah, I'm with you, Jared. 1831 01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:49,840 Speaker 6: It'd be interesting to see if they can slow down 1832 01:35:49,880 --> 01:35:54,200 Speaker 6: this Texas offensive machine so far.

Okay, we've got 1863 01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:25,440 Speaker 6: number twenty four Michigan at number twenty two Illinois. 1864 01:37:26,200 --> 01:37:27,160 Speaker 5: Here a couple of things. 1865 01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:32,160 Speaker 6: So Michigan runs the ball really well, right, Illinois is 1866 01:37:32,320 --> 01:37:37,080 Speaker 6: fifteenth in the Big Ten against the rush. That's not 1867 01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:40,919 Speaker 6: great for Illinois. You think back to last week Perdue. 1868 01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:44,800 Speaker 6: Perdue ran the ball get this against Illinois thirty two 1869 01:37:44,960 --> 01:37:49,599 Speaker 6: times for two thirty nine wow and two touchdowns. That's 1870 01:37:49,640 --> 01:37:53,479 Speaker 6: an average of seven point five yards per carry. We 1871 01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:56,760 Speaker 6: know about Michigan's struggles throwing the football. You do have 1872 01:37:56,920 --> 01:38:00,600 Speaker 6: Jack Tuttle, he'll be starting today. He's been known to 1873 01:38:01,040 --> 01:38:05,920 Speaker 6: throw forward passes more than the other guys, especially especially 1874 01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:10,520 Speaker 6: Alex Orgy, but still not going to be prolific. Michigan's 1875 01:38:10,520 --> 01:38:13,679 Speaker 6: going to try to ground and pound on the flip side. 1876 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:19,200 Speaker 6: Michigan's pass defense defense sixteenth in the Big Ten, sixteenth 1877 01:38:19,240 --> 01:38:20,439 Speaker 6: out of eighteen teams. 1878 01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:21,479 Speaker 2: That's bad. 1879 01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:25,160 Speaker 6: And Illinois quarterback Luke Altmeyers had a very good season. 1880 01:38:26,160 --> 01:38:29,679 Speaker 6: They're down their leading rusher, so against a great Michigan 1881 01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:31,960 Speaker 6: rush defense, Illinois is going to try to throw it 1882 01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:34,640 Speaker 6: and they might have enough success today to keep it 1883 01:38:34,680 --> 01:38:35,200 Speaker 6: close at. 1884 01:38:35,160 --> 01:38:40,000 Speaker 7: Least well, Michigan's got an elite defensive line. This is 1885 01:38:40,080 --> 01:38:43,600 Speaker 7: going to be very Look it kind of is the 1886 01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:46,880 Speaker 7: perfect matchup for Michigan because they're going against a team 1887 01:38:48,040 --> 01:38:52,719 Speaker 7: that hasn't improved but still kind of shaky pass protection, 1888 01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:55,960 Speaker 7: and they have an elite front, and they're going against 1889 01:38:56,000 --> 01:38:59,880 Speaker 7: a defense in the Aliani defense who struggles stopping the run. 1890 01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:02,760 Speaker 7: So it kind of sets up well for the Wolverines 1891 01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:05,320 Speaker 7: here today. And so that's really what I'm going to 1892 01:39:06,160 --> 01:39:11,200 Speaker 7: keeon is if the ALLIONI can slow down Michigan's rush game, 1893 01:39:11,800 --> 01:39:14,599 Speaker 7: if you can make them one dimensional and box them 1894 01:39:14,640 --> 01:39:17,240 Speaker 7: in and force them to throw the football a little bit, 1895 01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:20,240 Speaker 7: this could be a long, hard day for Michigan. But 1896 01:39:20,360 --> 01:39:23,559 Speaker 7: that's what it's gonna take. You have to force Michigan 1897 01:39:23,640 --> 01:39:25,759 Speaker 7: to play left handed to even have a shot. 1898 01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:30,519 Speaker 2: How about this that Michigan has been outscored in the 1899 01:39:30,640 --> 01:39:34,160 Speaker 2: fourth quarter by thirteen or more points in two straight games. 1900 01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:37,040 Speaker 2: They have the worst fourth quarter point differential in the 1901 01:39:37,200 --> 01:39:42,040 Speaker 2: Big Ten this year. This is Michigan, which is like defense, 1902 01:39:42,240 --> 01:39:48,480 Speaker 2: run the ball conservative. They can't finish games. Meanwhile, Illinois, 1903 01:39:49,160 --> 01:39:51,920 Speaker 2: actually the three games that they've played against their high 1904 01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:56,920 Speaker 2: leverage teams Nebraska, Penn State, Kansas, they've won right two 1905 01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:58,559 Speaker 2: and one, straight up, three and zero against the number, 1906 01:39:58,560 --> 01:40:01,559 Speaker 2: beating Nebraska as a dog co at Penn State beat 1907 01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:04,240 Speaker 2: Kansas as a dog. So Luke Altmeyer, listen, the light 1908 01:40:04,320 --> 01:40:07,080 Speaker 2: bulb switch has been turned on. Fourteen touchdowns one pick 1909 01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:10,639 Speaker 2: that was at Penn State. No shame there. The weapons 1910 01:40:10,680 --> 01:40:12,960 Speaker 2: are dangerous. Brian and Franklin on the outside are good. 1911 01:40:13,040 --> 01:40:15,320 Speaker 2: The ground game, as we talked about in the prop 1912 01:40:15,400 --> 01:40:18,160 Speaker 2: segment a little banged up. With Fagan missing last week 1913 01:40:18,280 --> 01:40:20,360 Speaker 2: hyper extended. He probably gonna miss this week too, but 1914 01:40:20,439 --> 01:40:23,040 Speaker 2: they ran it okay without him. That was against Purdue. 1915 01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:26,639 Speaker 2: This is a little bit of a different animal facing Michigan. 1916 01:40:26,960 --> 01:40:30,599 Speaker 2: The d line still is legit number one pass rush grade, 1917 01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:33,920 Speaker 2: number one run defense grade. They're not as talented last year, 1918 01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:37,519 Speaker 2: especially in the secondary, despite having Will Johnson, who's an 1919 01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:39,600 Speaker 2: All American. I think the reason why their defense has 1920 01:40:39,720 --> 01:40:42,559 Speaker 2: kind of had this scheme issue in the fourth quarter. 1921 01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:45,920 Speaker 2: Wink Martindale's just not as good of a defensive coordinator 1922 01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:49,439 Speaker 2: as Jesse Minter. It's just it's a step down with Winks. 1923 01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:51,599 Speaker 2: He's got one pitch, it's the fastball, and he doesn't 1924 01:40:51,600 --> 01:40:53,599 Speaker 2: really know how to change off of it. I think 1925 01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:56,200 Speaker 2: we'll see more spark from the Michigan offense this week. 1926 01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:58,200 Speaker 2: Tuttle gave them a spark, and it was a tough 1927 01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:01,240 Speaker 2: spot for him right he came in game. The scheme 1928 01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:03,240 Speaker 2: wasn't built around him that week, and they still moved 1929 01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:06,280 Speaker 2: it against Washington relatively well. I like their own line 1930 01:41:06,439 --> 01:41:10,120 Speaker 2: a lot. Hitting's a stud at left tackle, and they're 1931 01:41:10,320 --> 01:41:13,839 Speaker 2: kind of upgrading and shuffling things around at their tackle spots, 1932 01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:16,000 Speaker 2: you know, Benching, this kid Evan Link who's like one 1933 01:41:16,040 --> 01:41:19,160 Speaker 2: of the worst right tackle numbers I've ever seen in history. 1934 01:41:19,680 --> 01:41:23,000 Speaker 2: I think Illinois's defense is what I struggle with here, Like, 1935 01:41:23,400 --> 01:41:27,120 Speaker 2: you can't give up fifty to Purdue, Like you just can't. 1936 01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:29,360 Speaker 2: And it's hard for me to wrap my head around 1937 01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:32,120 Speaker 2: anything real with this Illinois team if you give up 1938 01:41:32,160 --> 01:41:34,720 Speaker 2: fifty to Purdue, Like, how do we give them any 1939 01:41:35,200 --> 01:41:37,120 Speaker 2: credit at all to go and win this game today? 1940 01:41:37,600 --> 01:41:37,840 Speaker 7: Yeah? 1941 01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:40,280 Speaker 6: Well that's the thing, man, is if you can't slow 1942 01:41:40,360 --> 01:41:44,679 Speaker 6: down Purdue's running attack, that's gonna be tough against Michigan. 1943 01:41:44,840 --> 01:41:45,760 Speaker 5: That's that's what they do. 1944 01:41:45,920 --> 01:41:48,799 Speaker 6: And it's kind of funny looking at the prop bets 1945 01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:53,080 Speaker 6: for Michigan's quarterback Jack Tuttle. We got used to the 1946 01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:55,840 Speaker 6: lines for Alex Orgy there for a little bit, and 1947 01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:58,200 Speaker 6: it was all the way down to seventy nine and 1948 01:41:58,280 --> 01:41:59,080 Speaker 6: a half half. 1949 01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:01,040 Speaker 3: And you made the sharpest of the year over on that. 1950 01:42:01,200 --> 01:42:01,600 Speaker 2: Well, thank you. 1951 01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:04,840 Speaker 6: I appreciate that he barely got over there. But it's 1952 01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:09,240 Speaker 6: up to one seventy five and a half for Wash Tuttle, where. 1953 01:42:09,040 --> 01:42:13,800 Speaker 2: It's like, whaw it, that's really not that hot mich 1954 01:42:14,080 --> 01:42:15,559 Speaker 2: offense man breat them up. 1955 01:42:15,920 --> 01:42:18,559 Speaker 6: But think about this too, something to keep in mind. 1956 01:42:18,840 --> 01:42:23,240 Speaker 6: So last game against Washington, Michigan gave three series to 1957 01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:26,799 Speaker 6: alex Orgy. Yeah right, so he was three for seven 1958 01:42:26,960 --> 01:42:30,280 Speaker 6: for only fifteen yards. But the point is Jack Tuttle, 1959 01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:34,600 Speaker 6: who's starting today. He was the main guy against Washington, 1960 01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:38,719 Speaker 6: but he only got eighteen passing attempts in his eight series. 1961 01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:42,320 Speaker 6: You know, So if think about this, if the backup 1962 01:42:42,439 --> 01:42:46,920 Speaker 6: quarterback in alex Orgy is throwing seven of the twenty 1963 01:42:47,040 --> 01:42:51,160 Speaker 6: five passing attempts like last week against Washington, how is 1964 01:42:51,280 --> 01:42:55,200 Speaker 6: Jack Tuttle surpassing one seventy five and a half passing yards. 1965 01:42:55,760 --> 01:42:57,600 Speaker 6: I has a ground and pound all day. This is 1966 01:42:57,760 --> 01:43:00,680 Speaker 6: just game management with Tuttle. I don't think he's going 1967 01:43:00,720 --> 01:43:02,639 Speaker 6: over one seventy five and a half, do you, guys? 1968 01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:06,519 Speaker 7: I like where your head's at because also, look at 1969 01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:09,439 Speaker 7: what the line I do well, and look at what 1970 01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:12,439 Speaker 7: they don't, and they don't stop the run well, So 1971 01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:15,600 Speaker 7: why would you why would you get away from what 1972 01:43:15,800 --> 01:43:19,640 Speaker 7: you do best if you're the Wolverines and highlight a 1973 01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:23,240 Speaker 7: weakness potentially in having Tuttle throw the ball round. Literally, 1974 01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:27,800 Speaker 7: I'm gonna read this paragraph to you. The Illinois A 1975 01:43:27,880 --> 01:43:29,960 Speaker 7: line I have struggled to defend the run this year, 1976 01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:34,040 Speaker 7: posting the worst run defense grade in the power For 1977 01:43:34,680 --> 01:43:38,000 Speaker 7: the line I have allowed five point four yards per carry, 1978 01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:41,000 Speaker 7: the seventh highest rate in the same group the average, 1979 01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:43,519 Speaker 7: bringing down the running backs once they contact them. 1980 01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:46,479 Speaker 3: But the issue is they give up two point one 1981 01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:48,280 Speaker 3: yards before contact. 1982 01:43:48,600 --> 01:43:52,639 Speaker 7: That means every time teams run against this line I defense, 1983 01:43:52,920 --> 01:43:56,280 Speaker 7: the offensive line they're opposing is making two yards of 1984 01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:58,320 Speaker 7: space for opposing running backs. 1985 01:43:58,520 --> 01:44:01,400 Speaker 3: And Michigan's got some good ones. So this is gonna 1986 01:44:01,439 --> 01:44:02,479 Speaker 3: be a hard day for. 1987 01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:05,840 Speaker 7: Illinois if they can't control the clock, if they can't 1988 01:44:05,840 --> 01:44:09,599 Speaker 7: slow down the running game. For the Wolverines, it doesn't 1989 01:44:09,640 --> 01:44:12,040 Speaker 7: feel like it's gonna be a lopside of victory. This 1990 01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:15,400 Speaker 7: is going to be designated under one of those ugly 1991 01:44:15,560 --> 01:44:18,840 Speaker 7: win categories for Michigan. This may actually come up on 1992 01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:21,479 Speaker 7: rapid Fire in a little bit here. Yeah, But the 1993 01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:25,040 Speaker 7: the Wolverines, I mean, it feels like, at least on paper, 1994 01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:29,640 Speaker 7: they're gonna have their way with with with the with 1995 01:44:29,800 --> 01:44:33,160 Speaker 7: the Aliani run defense. You know, Jared, When when I 1996 01:44:33,280 --> 01:44:37,160 Speaker 7: think about Michigan and where they're at now versus where 1997 01:44:37,240 --> 01:44:39,360 Speaker 7: they were a year ago. 1998 01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:40,280 Speaker 2: Light years. 1999 01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:43,919 Speaker 7: I mean, it's just like watching a completely different football 2000 01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:45,680 Speaker 7: game or football. 2001 01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:48,559 Speaker 2: Team totally and if you go pull up now, they 2002 01:44:48,600 --> 01:44:51,439 Speaker 2: are off the buy. I think that helps. It really 2003 01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:54,880 Speaker 2: helps Tuttle. It really helps Tuttle kind of get acclimated 2004 01:44:54,920 --> 01:44:56,559 Speaker 2: because this is going to be his first real start 2005 01:44:56,640 --> 01:45:00,640 Speaker 2: against a good team. But yeah, I go watch some 2006 01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:04,000 Speaker 2: of that Michigan tape against Washington. A couple of those 2007 01:45:04,120 --> 01:45:09,000 Speaker 2: defensive drives, it's like they're defending air. Washington's just like 2008 01:45:09,120 --> 01:45:12,080 Speaker 2: running it all over the place and Michigan looks lost. 2009 01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:16,800 Speaker 2: This is Michigan's defense looking lost. It's just it. It 2010 01:45:16,920 --> 01:45:20,400 Speaker 2: is not something we're used to seeing. Illinois, though, he 2011 01:45:20,520 --> 01:45:23,800 Speaker 2: gave up five hundred and thirty six yards to Purdue. Like, 2012 01:45:24,560 --> 01:45:27,759 Speaker 2: if you're giving up over five hundred yards to Purdue, 2013 01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:31,439 Speaker 2: I think Michigan's gonna have some success here today. They're 2014 01:45:31,479 --> 01:45:34,560 Speaker 2: outside the top one hundred and all the pressure havoc TFLs, 2015 01:45:34,680 --> 01:45:39,599 Speaker 2: like every single category I look at and I'm like, yeah, 2016 01:45:39,640 --> 01:45:43,680 Speaker 2: Michigan struggle is offensively there, but Illinois is terrible. So 2017 01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:46,479 Speaker 2: a lot of times too, I let the market do 2018 01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:50,160 Speaker 2: the talking for me. These are two ranked teams in 2019 01:45:50,240 --> 01:45:54,320 Speaker 2: the Big Ten. Illinois is at home and Michigan is 2020 01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:57,840 Speaker 2: the road favorite, and the number is climbing. It was 2021 01:45:57,920 --> 01:45:59,479 Speaker 2: two and a half, then it was three, three and 2022 01:45:59,479 --> 01:46:01,400 Speaker 2: a half. Now it's four and a half. And this 2023 01:46:01,560 --> 01:46:05,240 Speaker 2: is not a high total game forty four. Yet Michigan 2024 01:46:05,320 --> 01:46:08,439 Speaker 2: continues to get the love from the market. So I 2025 01:46:08,840 --> 01:46:10,599 Speaker 2: am I would be concerned. Like I know a lot 2026 01:46:10,640 --> 01:46:12,920 Speaker 2: of people are probably picking up their BEDMGM apps this 2027 01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:16,519 Speaker 2: morning and they're seeing two ranked teams and the home 2028 01:46:16,640 --> 01:46:19,240 Speaker 2: team is an underdog and you're like, oh wow, Illinois, Illinois. 2029 01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:22,559 Speaker 2: I just feel like this could be one of those 2030 01:46:22,840 --> 01:46:25,720 Speaker 2: I call it the bow a constrictor game where if 2031 01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:30,120 Speaker 2: alt Meyer can't find consistency for Illinois on offense, you 2032 01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:35,519 Speaker 2: allow Michigan to control the clock, Mullins and Edwards on 2033 01:46:35,680 --> 01:46:39,040 Speaker 2: the ground, and then tuttle off play action. He's comfortable, 2034 01:46:39,360 --> 01:46:42,639 Speaker 2: the team trusts him, he can actually throw a forward 2035 01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:47,040 Speaker 2: pass with some accuracy. It just this feels like a 2036 01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:49,880 Speaker 2: Michigan win and like a not necessarily a big one, 2037 01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:53,400 Speaker 2: but one where Illinois just doesn't have any sniff of 2038 01:46:53,439 --> 01:46:53,760 Speaker 2: a cover. 2039 01:46:54,120 --> 01:46:57,720 Speaker 7: Yeah yeah, you're listening to Fox Sports radios countdown to 2040 01:46:57,920 --> 01:47:00,759 Speaker 7: kick Off, brought to you by BETMGIM.

I believe that that's the terminology. 2095 01:50:02,520 --> 01:50:07,600 Speaker 7: Fox Sports Radios countdown to kickoff here live from the 2096 01:50:07,880 --> 01:50:11,800 Speaker 7: tyreraq dot com studios up in La Brian know his 2097 01:50:12,040 --> 01:50:14,800 Speaker 7: line has dropped. We're efforting to get him back. But 2098 01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:18,240 Speaker 7: in the meantime, Miami efforting to get a win on 2099 01:50:18,400 --> 01:50:21,880 Speaker 7: the road at Louisville. The Hurricanes, they've really been playing 2100 01:50:21,920 --> 01:50:24,160 Speaker 7: with fire the last two games, needed a ten point 2101 01:50:24,240 --> 01:50:27,280 Speaker 7: comeback with nine minutes left. They completed a Hail Mary 2102 01:50:27,360 --> 01:50:29,880 Speaker 7: to escape with a thirty eight to thirty four victory 2103 01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:30,800 Speaker 7: over v Tech. 2104 01:50:31,640 --> 01:50:33,360 Speaker 3: The following week, Miami. 2105 01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:36,960 Speaker 7: They mounted a twenty five point comeback in the second 2106 01:50:37,040 --> 01:50:40,200 Speaker 7: half to squeak by one point over. 2107 01:50:40,320 --> 01:50:43,320 Speaker 3: Col So they go on the road to Louisville. 2108 01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:48,200 Speaker 7: Jared, it feels like Miami they're just standing on the 2109 01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:48,920 Speaker 7: edge of the cliff. 2110 01:50:49,240 --> 01:50:55,519 Speaker 2: Yep, it really does. I want Miami to lose because 2111 01:50:55,720 --> 01:50:58,519 Speaker 2: I bet SMU this week to win the ACC and 2112 01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:02,120 Speaker 2: I need one either Clemson or Miami to look to 2113 01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:05,080 Speaker 2: drop an ACC game to get SMU into the into 2114 01:51:05,160 --> 01:51:07,720 Speaker 2: the ACC final. And they're five. They're still five to 2115 01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:10,040 Speaker 2: one to win the ACC. Like SMU is legit. But 2116 01:51:10,880 --> 01:51:15,240 Speaker 2: you look at Miami, I think the market's telling me 2117 01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:19,800 Speaker 2: that they're gonna win this game. But Louisville's Louisvill's had 2118 01:51:19,840 --> 01:51:24,719 Speaker 2: some moments when when Miami's offense matches up against Louisville's defense, 2119 01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:30,160 Speaker 2: Kevin Jennings, the SMU quarterback, absolutely torched this Louisville defense. 2120 01:51:30,600 --> 01:51:32,880 Speaker 2: And that's where I see Miami having an edge here. 2121 01:51:33,080 --> 01:51:35,880 Speaker 2: I think, I think this is the cam Ward game. 2122 01:51:36,120 --> 01:51:40,800 Speaker 2: Like Miami's off the buy. They barely beat cal they 2123 01:51:40,920 --> 01:51:43,160 Speaker 2: barely beat Virginia Tech. But they've now had a chance 2124 01:51:43,200 --> 01:51:46,040 Speaker 2: to catch their breath, like those were two tough games. 2125 01:51:46,040 --> 01:51:49,240 Speaker 2: They played USF, then they had a short week against Tech, 2126 01:51:49,280 --> 01:51:50,320 Speaker 2: and then they have to go all the way to 2127 01:51:50,400 --> 01:51:53,720 Speaker 2: Cal Like like that's a tough stretch, especially Virginia Tech, 2128 01:51:53,720 --> 01:51:56,920 Speaker 2: who's really physical and Cole's just it's weird out there 2129 01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:59,920 Speaker 2: and as you know in Berkeley sometimes. But now you 2130 01:52:00,080 --> 01:52:02,200 Speaker 2: get a week off and you play a Louisville team 2131 01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:05,559 Speaker 2: that I think defensively, Miami can have their way here 2132 01:52:05,640 --> 01:52:08,200 Speaker 2: against this Louisville defense. Because again, if Kevin Jennings, who's 2133 01:52:08,200 --> 01:52:10,799 Speaker 2: a you know, a good quarterback, but cam Ward's more talented, 2134 01:52:11,400 --> 01:52:13,280 Speaker 2: if he can go off and run for over one 2135 01:52:13,360 --> 01:52:15,200 Speaker 2: hundred yards, throw for over two hundred yards, go in 2136 01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:18,600 Speaker 2: the road, beat Louisville SMU, nice win for them. I 2137 01:52:18,680 --> 01:52:21,760 Speaker 2: think Miami can do the same. But then you get 2138 01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:25,280 Speaker 2: this Marrio crystal Ball factor, right, Like we've seen him 2139 01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:28,080 Speaker 2: lay an Egg. He's kind of this guy that'll, you know, 2140 01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:30,360 Speaker 2: go off script and make a you know, a boneheaded 2141 01:52:30,400 --> 01:52:33,479 Speaker 2: decision once and once in a while. So I feel 2142 01:52:33,560 --> 01:52:35,880 Speaker 2: like Miami's gonna win this game. I feel like Miami covers. 2143 01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:39,360 Speaker 2: I think it goes over, but man, you never know. 2144 01:52:39,479 --> 01:52:40,800 Speaker 2: With crystal Ball and this Cane s team. 2145 01:52:40,880 --> 01:52:43,400 Speaker 7: See, that's the thing, that's that's just the thing. You 2146 01:52:43,600 --> 01:52:46,040 Speaker 7: never know what you're gonna get with Miami. I'm watching 2147 01:52:46,080 --> 01:52:49,479 Speaker 7: them warm up right now. They're coming up here really shortly. 2148 01:52:49,520 --> 01:52:52,160 Speaker 7: And cam Ward has been great, but he's been great 2149 01:52:52,280 --> 01:52:55,519 Speaker 7: because they've had they've needed him to be great. If 2150 01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:58,559 Speaker 7: he wasn't great, they would have lost the past two games, 2151 01:52:59,080 --> 01:53:01,800 Speaker 7: and the record would look very different, their ranking would 2152 01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:05,040 Speaker 7: look very different. Also, a team that has looked great 2153 01:53:05,439 --> 01:53:10,440 Speaker 7: and dominant, the Indiana Hoosier is hosting the Nebraska corn Huskers. 2154 01:53:11,120 --> 01:53:15,360 Speaker 7: Sixteenth ranked Indiana the smoothest RPO game in college football, 2155 01:53:15,360 --> 01:53:18,120 Speaker 7: and that's saying a lot because everybody's running the run 2156 01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:21,679 Speaker 7: pass option. This has taken over college football for basically 2157 01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:25,840 Speaker 7: the past decade. Nobody's doing it better than Signetti's team. 2158 01:53:25,880 --> 01:53:28,280 Speaker 7: And you heard him, he wins. Just google him. 2159 01:53:28,520 --> 01:53:29,840 Speaker 3: Is he gonna win today, Jared? 2160 01:53:30,680 --> 01:53:31,240 Speaker 2: I think so. 2161 01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:32,160 Speaker 9: You know. 2162 01:53:32,280 --> 01:53:38,439 Speaker 2: The thing that impresses me the most about Indiana special teams, coaching, 2163 01:53:39,400 --> 01:53:43,559 Speaker 2: offensive line all elite this year. And when you think 2164 01:53:43,560 --> 01:53:46,360 Speaker 2: of Indiana, you don't think of those things with football. 2165 01:53:46,439 --> 01:53:51,439 Speaker 2: Maybe with basketball, but not football. And culture is a 2166 01:53:51,520 --> 01:53:55,240 Speaker 2: hell of a drug. If you can install culture quickly 2167 01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:59,040 Speaker 2: and get your team to believe a lot of the prior. 2168 01:53:59,200 --> 01:54:02,439 Speaker 2: Like we can't view Indiana as a basketball school right now. 2169 01:54:02,960 --> 01:54:06,200 Speaker 2: They are in pole position to be in the Big 2170 01:54:06,280 --> 01:54:09,040 Speaker 2: Ten Championship game and make the College Football Playoff. Their 2171 01:54:09,080 --> 01:54:12,160 Speaker 2: schedule is not that difficult. They can beat Michigan at 2172 01:54:12,200 --> 01:54:13,880 Speaker 2: home and they end at the go to Ohio State. 2173 01:54:14,479 --> 01:54:17,840 Speaker 2: I think Rourke is an experienced like they have experience 2174 01:54:17,960 --> 01:54:20,960 Speaker 2: and talent and edge in a lot of areas here quarterback, 2175 01:54:21,040 --> 01:54:24,679 Speaker 2: They're better coaching, They're better defense. I think it's maybe 2176 01:54:24,800 --> 01:54:29,080 Speaker 2: even slight edge to Nebraska special teams. Huge edge to 2177 01:54:29,200 --> 01:54:33,080 Speaker 2: Indiana and the offensive line. Like their left tackles only 2178 01:54:33,080 --> 01:54:35,440 Speaker 2: allowed one pressure, no sacks, and one hundred and ninety 2179 01:54:35,440 --> 01:54:38,440 Speaker 2: six pass blocking snaps. That speaks to the RPO game, 2180 01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:41,920 Speaker 2: how smooth they are and how quickly they get the 2181 01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:45,160 Speaker 2: ball out. This Indiana team is a tough team to 2182 01:54:45,200 --> 01:54:46,960 Speaker 2: prepare for. We'll see what the home field environment is 2183 01:54:46,960 --> 01:54:49,160 Speaker 2: in Bloomington today, But I think Indiana wins. I don't 2184 01:54:49,160 --> 01:54:51,480 Speaker 2: know about the cover numbers seems right at seven, but 2185 01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:52,720 Speaker 2: I think Indiana wins this game. 2186 01:54:52,840 --> 01:54:54,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you. I think they win. 2187 01:54:54,480 --> 01:54:56,920 Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be another one of those ugly wins, 2188 01:54:57,000 --> 01:54:59,880 Speaker 7: which again may be a little bit of foreshadowing from 2189 01:55:00,080 --> 01:55:03,560 Speaker 7: I Rapid Fire, but it's incredible what Signette has been 2190 01:55:03,600 --> 01:55:05,800 Speaker 7: able to do after going three to nine last year, 2191 01:55:06,040 --> 01:55:09,240 Speaker 7: historic start six and OHO for the first time in 2192 01:55:09,440 --> 01:55:13,920 Speaker 7: fifty seven years for the Hoosiers.

We do this every week. The 2216 01:56:31,640 --> 01:56:35,320 Speaker 7: record reflects that. Right now it's BEINGO in first place. 2217 01:56:35,960 --> 01:56:39,680 Speaker 7: It's myself, Rich Wrenberger. I'm in second place and bringing 2218 01:56:39,760 --> 01:56:42,960 Speaker 7: up the caboose right now is Jared Smith, but I'm 2219 01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:44,520 Speaker 7: feeling to comeback, Jay Smith. 2220 01:56:44,600 --> 01:56:45,560 Speaker 3: Let's get going. 2221 01:56:45,360 --> 01:56:48,720 Speaker 2: Here, let's do it, and these picks again, guys, I'm sorry, 2222 01:56:48,800 --> 01:56:50,920 Speaker 2: I promise you I know how to do this, but 2223 01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:54,440 Speaker 2: this season has been just awful, absolutely awful. But we 2224 01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:57,640 Speaker 2: stand by our records and the season is not over yet. 2225 01:56:58,200 --> 01:57:01,160 Speaker 2: And I'm simplifying things this week. I gave you three 2226 01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:05,080 Speaker 2: underdogs in parlay platter that are all going to win today. 2227 01:57:05,640 --> 01:57:08,560 Speaker 2: If I think these underdogs can win, well they damn 2228 01:57:08,640 --> 01:57:11,120 Speaker 2: sure better cover. So here we go Maryland plus seven 2229 01:57:11,160 --> 01:57:14,320 Speaker 2: and a half home dog against USC. The Trojans are 2230 01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:17,760 Speaker 2: starting to run the gauntlet that is the Big Ten schedule. 2231 01:57:17,880 --> 01:57:22,360 Speaker 2: Their last four games Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Penn State. Very 2232 01:57:22,960 --> 01:57:25,760 Speaker 2: physical football teams. Now you've got to travel cross country. 2233 01:57:25,800 --> 01:57:29,160 Speaker 2: Big ten teams going west to east multiple time zones 2234 01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:31,920 Speaker 2: or east to west have not fared very well, except 2235 01:57:31,960 --> 01:57:34,400 Speaker 2: for Penn State last week at usc WO. But I 2236 01:57:34,480 --> 01:57:38,240 Speaker 2: think USC is not ready for the physical challenge that 2237 01:57:38,360 --> 01:57:40,800 Speaker 2: Maryland will present today. I'll take Maryland plus seven and 2238 01:57:40,800 --> 01:57:44,200 Speaker 2: a half. We'll take Arkansas plus three. You've got to 2239 01:57:44,360 --> 01:57:47,600 Speaker 2: find an expensive hook here. It's about minus one twenty, 2240 01:57:47,880 --> 01:57:49,680 Speaker 2: but I think it's worth it on the key number 2241 01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:52,160 Speaker 2: of three again, letdown City. LSU is coming off an 2242 01:57:52,200 --> 01:57:55,200 Speaker 2: overtime win where they were on the field for ninety 2243 01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:58,720 Speaker 2: eight plays. Their defense absolutely gassed. Arkansas well rested off 2244 01:57:58,760 --> 01:58:01,520 Speaker 2: the buye. They win and cover against LSU today, and 2245 01:58:02,040 --> 01:58:07,400 Speaker 2: West Virginia take me country roads. Kansas State is zero 2246 01:58:07,440 --> 01:58:09,240 Speaker 2: and three against the number on the road this year. 2247 01:58:09,400 --> 01:58:12,280 Speaker 2: Very different team away from the little Apple. I'll take 2248 01:58:12,320 --> 01:58:15,640 Speaker 2: West Virginia plus three against Kansas State Arkansas plus three, 2249 01:58:15,720 --> 01:58:17,840 Speaker 2: Maryland plus seven and alf All right, here we go. 2250 01:58:18,080 --> 01:58:21,760 Speaker 7: I for my rapid fire, all ugly games and underdogs. 2251 01:58:21,840 --> 01:58:25,120 Speaker 7: Miami at Louellville. Louillville dog by five and a half. 2252 01:58:25,360 --> 01:58:28,720 Speaker 7: Ugly win for Miami, but the Cardinals keep it close 2253 01:58:28,840 --> 01:58:31,600 Speaker 7: enough to get within the five and a half points. 2254 01:58:31,680 --> 01:58:34,480 Speaker 7: Nebraska six and a half point dogs on the road 2255 01:58:34,680 --> 01:58:39,320 Speaker 7: and Indiana another ugly win for the Cousuers. But give 2256 01:58:39,400 --> 01:58:43,000 Speaker 7: me Braska plus six and a half. All right, Michigan 2257 01:58:43,160 --> 01:58:46,000 Speaker 7: at Illinois.
