<v Speaker 1>a man, I'm forty.

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.119
<v Speaker 2>I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:10.680

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:13.000

<v Speaker 1>Whoo whoom and down and tie.

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:21.439
<v Speaker 3>Welcome back to the Solid Verbal, boys and girls. My

0:00:21.520 --> 0:00:25.279
<v Speaker 3>name is Ty Hildebrand. Joining me over there back in

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:27.920
<v Speaker 3>New York City, My man Dan Ruberstein, Sir, how are you?

0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 2>I am fantastic, Tie, I am ready to talk about

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 2>America's Division.

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>America's Division.

0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm ready the PAC twelve North, It's time.

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:42.720
<v Speaker 1>PAC twelve North.

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 3>We got a little Mountain West Mountain YEP action on

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.839
<v Speaker 3>today's show. We should point out that we are recording

0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 3>this show on Wednesday, but it is being posted on Sunday,

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 3>the twelfth, which means that people will be listening to

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 3>this show a day after our live show in Chicago. Yeah,

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:07.600
<v Speaker 3>so perhaps we should offer some qualifiers here just to

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 3>account for anything wacky that might transpire on Saturday evening

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:12.839
<v Speaker 3>at the live show.

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Ty, I can't believe you beat up my family?

0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, uncalled for?

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 3>Can you believe that Adam Amin mooned the crowd? It

0:01:19.240 --> 0:01:21.720
<v Speaker 3>was uncalled for, but still provocative.

0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.320
<v Speaker 2>He said he was going to tie, and people didn't

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:27.679
<v Speaker 2>trust him. I can't believe you ate that much chicken tie.

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 2>I cannot believe you put away that much chicken hashtag

0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:31.399
<v Speaker 2>tenders with tie.

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 3>Thank you to everyone that came out. We'll be releasing

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 3>that show here shortly.

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 2>I really hope the show happens. I really really do.

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.120
<v Speaker 1>It is only Wednesday. You never know.

0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, thank you for coming on back. This is actually

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 3>our final previous show. We've gone through all the Power

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 3>five divisions. We've talked about all of the Group of

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:03.280
<v Speaker 3>five conferences this point, we've saved perhaps the best two

0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 3>for last in talking about the PAC twelve North and

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.000
<v Speaker 3>the Mountain West Mountain Division. It is a division that

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 3>is near and dear to your heart, Dan, because of

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:14.840
<v Speaker 3>your Oregon allegiance. I know we talked about the PAC

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 3>twelve South. You're sort of like an encyclopedia for all

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 3>things Pack twelve. So I do tend to lean on

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 3>you a little bit more when we talk about all

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 3>things PAC twelve, especially PAC twelve North. As you look

0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.200
<v Speaker 3>at this conference, how's your heart?

0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 2>First of all, Ty just tried to trick me and

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 2>try to trick all of you because we're going to

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:39.040
<v Speaker 2>get to the Conference USA Western Division on a Q

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 2>and a show before the season starts or something. We

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:44.960
<v Speaker 2>promise we will. Okay, we're not leaving you out North

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Texas or UAB my bead, my PSA.

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>It's okay.

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 2>But the bigger question, Ty, how do I feel about

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 2>the PAC twelve North? Really excited? I am so pumped

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 2>and I'm going to tell you why. Oregon State it's

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 2>gonna win more than one game. You heard it here.

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 2>I think they're gonna win more than one game. I

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.800
<v Speaker 2>don't think they're gonna win their opener at Ohio State,

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 2>but I think they're gonna win more than one. No,

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited for this conference or this division. Excuse me,

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.679
<v Speaker 2>quarterback play should be very very good. Jake Browning, Justin

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 2>Herbert kJ Costello, I know you're probably in on the

0:03:21.800 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 2>Bower hour, just so you can say Bower hour. Yeah.

0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:31.840
<v Speaker 2>I anticipate Wazoo's quarterback situation, whether or not it's Gardner

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 2>Minshew or a younger player being at least decent, given

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Mike Leach's track record with quarterbacks, but I am I'm

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 2>excited because the talent level. I'm excited because of offenses.

0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited about returning familiarity, and I think it will

0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 2>be an improved division from where it was last year,

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:54.040
<v Speaker 2>mostly because of Cal and Oregon.

0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 3>I agree, And that gets me to the reasons that

0:03:57.560 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 3>I care. Because you've got an old trust you like

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 3>Washington at this point, which you sort of know what

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:05.720
<v Speaker 3>you're gonna get, especially with seventeen guys back from last

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.360
<v Speaker 3>year's team in Chris Peterson, you just know what you're

0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:10.880
<v Speaker 3>gonna get. Stanford, I think you have a pretty good

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 3>idea of what you're gonna get, not so much from

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.240
<v Speaker 3>the quarterback position, which was a bit up and down

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 3>last year, but did seem to settle in with kJ

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 3>Costello towards the latter half of the year, but mainly

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:27.239
<v Speaker 3>because we've got Bryce Love who had twenty one hundred

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 3>yards a year ago, and also he's got a pretty

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.760
<v Speaker 3>experienced line in front of him, which we'll talk about.

0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.160
<v Speaker 3>But four guys back in total, you know what you're

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.800
<v Speaker 3>gonna get from Stanford. Oregon and Cal are the X factors,

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 3>and that's why I care, because I don't know which

0:04:41.800 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 3>way Oregon's headed. I want you to tell us. And

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Cal I think could be pretty damn plucky. I care

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.840
<v Speaker 3>about plucky teams. Cal's got a lot of pluckiness in

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 3>him this year.

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 2>You want to start with Washington?

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:58.040
<v Speaker 3>I do want to start with Washington. Washington, Washington went

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:02.080
<v Speaker 3>ten and two a year ago. They've got seventeen starters back,

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:06.919
<v Speaker 3>as I mentioned, eight on offense, nine on defense. Some

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.280
<v Speaker 3>big losses to account for, right, Vita Vea.

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 2>Certainly literally big loss, yeah.

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:13.719
<v Speaker 1>Chief among them.

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 2>Right, Dante pettis enormous.

0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 3>Dante Pettis sure, yeah, but Dan, I want to start

0:05:19.400 --> 0:05:22.760
<v Speaker 3>with something a little bit more important to our universe.

0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I'm ready for this.

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Can we talk about the quarterback position at Washington? Who

0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:30.719
<v Speaker 3>is their starting quarterback? By the way, for those wandering

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 3>at home playing the home.

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Game, Jake Browning.

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:36.120
<v Speaker 3>I believe it'd be Jake Browning coming back for his

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 3>senior season. His backup is also a red shirt freshman

0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 3>by the name of Jake. The third stringer is a

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 3>freshman by the name of Jake Jacob Sermon. I believe

0:05:49.720 --> 0:05:52.479
<v Speaker 3>there's also a Jacob by the name of Easton who

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.719
<v Speaker 3>is transferring over from Georgia, originally from the state of Washington.

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 3>But he's going to be sitting out this year, Dan,

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 3>there are four Jake on the depth chart here in

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 3>some capacity.

0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:05.680
<v Speaker 2>We have what a history of Jake Locker Yep, Jake

0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.479
<v Speaker 2>Heaps is from the state. Jake Busey is one of

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:14.920
<v Speaker 2>our fine cinematic additions. Now there's a lot of Jake's.

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:21.279
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot a lot of Jake Jacobs's. But I

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:25.880
<v Speaker 2>think they have another freshman named Colson. Is his middle

0:06:25.960 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 2>name Jake, it has to be well, his last name

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:31.280
<v Speaker 2>is Yankov, which is okay, which is a lot. It's

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:35.039
<v Speaker 2>a lot. There's a lot of Jake on this QB room.

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 2>And we spent like forty five minutes going back and

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.599
<v Speaker 2>forth on g chat coming up with names for the

0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Jake situation. It's not good for anybody to go through these.

0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 3>I think twenty eighteen is probably the year that we

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.679
<v Speaker 3>stopped calling them Washington and start calling them Jake Forrest.

0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:51.839
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty good. Was that mine or yours?

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:52.679
<v Speaker 1>I think that was mine?

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:57.719
<v Speaker 2>Actually, okay, I'm trying to find the best one. Jake

0:06:57.839 --> 0:07:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Otomy I thought was pretty good study of Jake, like tracheotomy.

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.440
<v Speaker 1>The great Jake's was another one.

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Yoh, Jacob and afraid not my favorite jake me up

0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 2>when you go go oh for Pete's Jake because of

0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 2>Chris Peterson.

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Right, Jake me up when September ends.

0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 2>Another one, my actual good one was Jake Shack because

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.320
<v Speaker 2>like that's what you call the quarterback room.

0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>I do like Jhack. That's bad.

0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, okay, jjj. Forest does have the college and the

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:31.440
<v Speaker 2>you know, the forestry, the outdoors element of the Pacific Northwest.

0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:36.520
<v Speaker 3>So okay, schedule's great. That was very important to Deep Dive. Sorry,

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 3>extremely important.

0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.800
<v Speaker 3>Otherwise though, I think the schedule sets up well. They've

0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:44.320
<v Speaker 3>got the neutral Cider against Auburn, which we talked about

0:07:44.880 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 3>on the Wednesday show, and we previewed the SEC West

0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.560
<v Speaker 3>that games in Atlanta on week one. Beyond that, they're

0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:54.760
<v Speaker 3>at Utah on September fifteenth, They're at Oregon on October thirteenth,

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 3>Stanford's at home. They get ASU, Ucla and Colorado from

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.400
<v Speaker 3>the South. The one thing that I will throw out there,

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 3>and I'll even play what's digging at You one of

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 3>my favorite sounds.

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 2>Whoa, whoa, whoa.

0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:12.680
<v Speaker 1>They are at cal the week before Stanford.

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 2>That's tasty.

0:08:15.680 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 1>That is a potential trap game.

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 3>But otherwise, Dan, I think barring injury, you got Jake

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 3>Browning overtaking Cody Pickett as the all time leading passer

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 3>in Husky history. You've got Miles Gaskin, who is back

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 3>for like his eighteenth year, only fifty one yards away

0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:35.280
<v Speaker 3>from overtaking Napoleon Kaufman the all time leading rusher list

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 3>in Husky history. I'm going to reiterate what I said

0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:42.960
<v Speaker 3>though on the Pivotal People episode. The offense looks great,

0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 3>the defense looks great. I think Chico mcclatcher is the

0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.280
<v Speaker 3>guy to watch. Not a big dude, but he's a

0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 3>game breaker. That's what Washington needs at the wide receiver position.

0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>And he's back, and he's been this last year he

0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>was hurt.

0:08:57.280 --> 0:09:00.440
<v Speaker 3>I think Chico mcclatcher could bring an element to this

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.960
<v Speaker 3>offense that it was really in need of and still

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 3>is in need of entering twenty eighteen. I feel real

0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.920
<v Speaker 3>good about Washington. They're a playoff caliber team. They probably

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 3>win the North. I think eleven and one give me.

0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh you feel about them if they lose comfortably to

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Auburn to start the season comfortably, If they lose twenty

0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 2>seven sixteen, oh man, and it's not like twenty to

0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:30.720
<v Speaker 2>sixteen and they get a last second touchdown. It's you know,

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 2>it's twenty seven to nine and Washington scores a garbage point.

0:09:34.960 --> 0:09:36.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I'll be I think I will be stunned

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:37.199
<v Speaker 1>by that.

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:41.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, but if that happens, that's not a crazy thing

0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.319
<v Speaker 2>to think of. No, it's not for how good Auburn

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:44.480
<v Speaker 2>will also be.

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.959
<v Speaker 1>Will that affect how I feel? Marginally?

0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 2>I think Washington. It's not must win, but Washington needs

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:55.559
<v Speaker 2>to look really good. Washington can't lose like they lost

0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 2>to Penn State, where they look pretty good on offense

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:00.880
<v Speaker 2>and move the ball a ton, but keep giving up

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:06.280
<v Speaker 2>key conversions and stuff like that and are outclassed. I

0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 2>like Washington a whole bunch, and it has almost nothing

0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:12.200
<v Speaker 2>to do with their offense, even though their line is

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 2>enormous and should be really good, anchored by Trey Adams,

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>who comes back after getting hurt near the end of

0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 2>last season. Miles Gaskin's great. The name I really like

0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.120
<v Speaker 2>is Salvon Ahmed whatever. I don't know how you perfectly

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.520
<v Speaker 2>pronounce everything there, but he is versatile and excellent and

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.080
<v Speaker 2>all purpose type player. Their secondary is absurd. I'm concerned

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:33.080
<v Speaker 2>about linebacker. I'm not super concerned about them up front

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:38.080
<v Speaker 2>on defense. Their secondary Miles Bryant, Austin Joyner, Taylor Rapp,

0:10:38.320 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Byron Murphy is like the third or fourth corner there.

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:45.400
<v Speaker 2>They are in an excellent position given what the Pac

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.440
<v Speaker 2>twelve will throw at this Washington team schedule wise and

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 2>quarterback wise. So this is who Washington has to face

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:55.360
<v Speaker 2>quarterback wise, of the Power five teams on their schedule.

0:10:56.000 --> 0:11:00.959
<v Speaker 2>Jared Stidham, Tyler Huntley, Manny Wilkins, who whoever is starting?

0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.960
<v Speaker 2>Probably Dorian Robinson, Thompson Thompson Robinson, I spell get it right.

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 2>At UCLA. The Chip Kelly offense should be okay at

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 2>least justin Herbert in Eugene, the Bauer Hour who you're

0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:15.320
<v Speaker 2>high on, kJ Costello, who I think will have an

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:20.839
<v Speaker 2>improved year and they'll probably slaughter Washington State. But that's

0:11:21.160 --> 0:11:24.040
<v Speaker 2>a good position to be in against that quarterback lineup

0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:25.959
<v Speaker 2>because there are some guys on that schedule that can

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:26.280
<v Speaker 2>wing it.

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 3>I saw that Washington was having trouble against its own

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.560
<v Speaker 3>defense in some of the early training cap reports.

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 2>You know what, I'm a little bit worried about Washington's offense.

0:11:37.720 --> 0:11:40.439
<v Speaker 2>Why And I'm still worried. And I know Chico mcclatch

0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.200
<v Speaker 2>is good and I know you like him, and Hunter

0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Bryant is a very good tight end is big. I'm

0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:52.320
<v Speaker 2>worried that Jake Browning has peaked at good and in

0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 2>order for this team to make the playoff, I think

0:11:55.200 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 2>he needs to get to excellence. And it's it's amazing

0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 2>that he's good. It's amazing that Washington has a good quarterback.

0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:05.080
<v Speaker 2>After going so long with like well Keith Price had

0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:08.440
<v Speaker 2>those couple quarters where everything seemed to work out, It's

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 2>been a long time since they've had a good quarterback.

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.440
<v Speaker 2>And I think people are going to key on like

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 2>the better teams on Washington schedule did last year. They're

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 2>going to key on making Brownie beat them not just

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.960
<v Speaker 2>through the air but downfield. And I'm not sure without

0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:28.400
<v Speaker 2>Pettis now the second year without John Ross, I'm not

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 2>sure within the context of Washington making the playoff, they

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:37.440
<v Speaker 2>have that guy. Yeah, but that defense means Washington has

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:39.480
<v Speaker 2>scored twenty points a game and they'll be fine. Yep,

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 2>So I think Washington minimum was winning ten.

0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I agree. Let's move on. Let's go to Stanford.

0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.960
<v Speaker 3>The Cardinal went nine and three a year ago, fifteen

0:12:53.000 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 3>guys back, including Bryce Love. I mentioned at the top

0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:58.720
<v Speaker 3>of the show twenty one hundred yards eighteen touchdowns.

0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>He is most it's likely your Heisman front runner. At

0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>this point.

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 3>I mentioned four guys back along the line. It is

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.040
<v Speaker 3>a gigantic line. Dan two guys on that line are six'.

0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:17.640
<v Speaker 3>Seven three of them were honorable mention FOR pac Twelve

0:13:17.920 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 3>team of The. Year one of them was a first

0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Team All pack twelver Or this is really the guts

0:13:24.240 --> 0:13:26.000
<v Speaker 3>of the. Team it's always the guts of the, team

0:13:26.040 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 3>but ever more of the case this. Season very formidable on,

0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:35.680
<v Speaker 3>offense especially if kJ costello can continue. Improving he's got veteran.

0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.240
<v Speaker 3>Receivers he himself is a lot more of a dual threat.

0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Guy the OFFENSE i think is going to be really,

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:45.040
<v Speaker 3>good depending how Good costello, is depending how they use him,

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:46.640
<v Speaker 3>stylistically this.

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Could be a more interesting offense. Too SO i am

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>genuinely excited about what they do on that side of the.

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Football we need to just take a second and just

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 2>admire the fact That Bryce love is the single most

0:13:58.280 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 2>dangerous player with the ball in his hands.

0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Football.

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely we you sort of glossed over that fact not,

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:08.000
<v Speaker 2>INTENTIONALLY i think more because we've just gotten accustomed To

0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 2>Bryce love being mister. Dangerous But stanford has two straight

0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 2>running backs that are just absurd and you have to

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.760
<v Speaker 2>hold your. Breath and that is what like you feel

0:14:20.800 --> 0:14:24.080
<v Speaker 2>as a, defense as as somebody rooting for a. Defense

0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.640
<v Speaker 2>and this is a situation we've both found ourselves. In

0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:30.360
<v Speaker 2>anytime he touches the ball and he's tackled for like

0:14:30.440 --> 0:14:33.560
<v Speaker 2>a seven yard, gain, yeah you're, like, oh thank. God

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.120
<v Speaker 2>his average was eight point. One but oh my, god

0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 2>he only just torched us for fourteen. Yards oh praise.

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:43.560
<v Speaker 2>Be so that Is Bryce. Love that is what he.

0:14:43.600 --> 0:14:46.920
<v Speaker 2>Represents that is who he. IS i am concerned similarly

0:14:46.960 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 2>About stanford's stretching teams down the, fields concerned about conservatism

0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 2>on offense and not taking shots and punting on the you,

0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:58.840
<v Speaker 2>know the other team's forty. Three those are things that

0:14:58.960 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>annoy me and will in perpetuity About. Stanford and they're

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:03.920
<v Speaker 2>just going to keep winning nine or ten games a

0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:08.360
<v Speaker 2>year despite any of my stupid. Concerns, defensively a lot

0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 2>of new names and, faces both on the line and

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:13.800
<v Speaker 2>in the secondary that has me a little. Worried the linebacking,

0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:17.720
<v Speaker 2>course should be pretty. Good but like you could just

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:24.200
<v Speaker 2>If Stanford stanford's schedule the Worst september in the. COUNTRY

0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.120
<v Speaker 2>i have a Long.

0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:32.760
<v Speaker 3>September, YEAH i mean it's up there with you, know

0:15:33.080 --> 0:15:36.480
<v Speaker 3>who is it that Had, Clemson alabama And South.

0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:37.000
<v Speaker 2>CAROL a and M.

0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah in the first month of the. Year.

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah this Is San Diego, state which is probably one

0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:48.240
<v Speaker 2>of the four best group of five TEAMS. Usc THE

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:52.520
<v Speaker 2>Uc davis aggis. No then after The San Diego STATE

0:15:52.600 --> 0:15:56.560
<v Speaker 2>usc and then AFTER Uc davis, no no bi weeks in.

0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.160
<v Speaker 2>Here mind you At oregon At Notre.

0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:00.880
<v Speaker 1>Dame it's.

0:16:00.920 --> 0:16:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Tough that could be potentially four top thirty three defenses In. September. Yeah,

0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:09.920
<v Speaker 2>still and then they go and then they Play.

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 1>Utah, yeah we should be pretty. Good deal with all.

0:16:12.920 --> 0:16:15.640
<v Speaker 3>That. YEAH i look at The stanford team AND i, say,

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:19.440
<v Speaker 3>well if things break their, way mm, hmm they're a

0:16:19.560 --> 0:16:24.960
<v Speaker 3>dark horse for the. Playoff, oh dark, horse that's that's my, turf,

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 3>TY i, know dark Horse stanford and uh maybe a

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.280
<v Speaker 3>ten and two possible contender for the pack.

0:16:32.320 --> 0:16:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Twelve, uh there's any use of THE p word to

0:16:38.160 --> 0:16:42.280
<v Speaker 2>me means you have at least a very good. Quarterback

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:44.480
<v Speaker 2>and at least a very good. Defense that is my

0:16:45.120 --> 0:16:48.280
<v Speaker 2>bottom line bar AND i don't see that With. STANFORD

0:16:48.440 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 2>i see another nine or ten one, year probably eight and,

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.440
<v Speaker 2>four nine and. Three if they go eight and, four

0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 2>they'll win their bowl game and go nine and.

0:16:55.960 --> 0:16:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Four all, right let's go To, Oregon, Dan.

0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:04.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah this is the point in our preseason shows where

0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 3>we're pre going to snack right, now OR i could

0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.080
<v Speaker 3>go get a, snack maybe go out get a fresh

0:17:09.080 --> 0:17:12.520
<v Speaker 3>bottle of water or. Something But oregon seven to, five

0:17:13.160 --> 0:17:17.520
<v Speaker 3>a new, coach sort Of Maria cristabaal was their offensive

0:17:17.560 --> 0:17:20.200
<v Speaker 3>coordinator year. Ago will we tagger leaves go To Florida?

0:17:20.240 --> 0:17:25.040
<v Speaker 3>State laid on me, Here dan laid on. Me how

0:17:25.040 --> 0:17:26.359
<v Speaker 3>are we feeling About oregon in twenty.

0:17:26.400 --> 0:17:26.720
<v Speaker 1>EIGHTEEN?

0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Mm their schedule is such And i've said this multiple

0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.159
<v Speaker 2>times that they could have a better record than what

0:17:35.240 --> 0:17:39.240
<v Speaker 2>they actually represent on the. Field they have absolutely nobody

0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:43.200
<v Speaker 2>early in the non. CONFERENCE i believe it's That's Bowling

0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:45.240
<v Speaker 2>green to open the. Season we've Got.

0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:48.440
<v Speaker 3>Bowling, Green we've Got Portland, state and we've Got San

0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.400
<v Speaker 3>Jose state in the non conference.

0:17:50.480 --> 0:17:52.639
<v Speaker 2>Slate So Portland state In San Jose state have been.

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:57.199
<v Speaker 2>Awful you can get into any of these games that

0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:02.320
<v Speaker 2>are all IN ats and for under right, now so

0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:04.560
<v Speaker 2>that's pretty good if you're looking for a. Steal i'm

0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:06.560
<v Speaker 2>not going to advertise the, website but you can get

0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:09.159
<v Speaker 2>in pretty cheap to those. Games So oregon's gonna go

0:18:09.240 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 2>three to zero and they Have stanford and they go

0:18:11.280 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 2>to cal to round Out. September they do all of

0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:17.080
<v Speaker 2>this with what we believe to be a very good

0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.720
<v Speaker 2>quarterback who has not had a very good game against

0:18:19.760 --> 0:18:22.840
<v Speaker 2>a very good, team both because of injury and. Performance

0:18:23.240 --> 0:18:26.199
<v Speaker 2>so there's still that he will be playing behind a

0:18:26.320 --> 0:18:29.200
<v Speaker 2>line that has a ton of experience but loses its best,

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.960
<v Speaker 2>player but is recruited there very well and should rotate

0:18:32.000 --> 0:18:37.359
<v Speaker 2>in some young players who are, promising, crazy. Undisciplined oregon

0:18:37.400 --> 0:18:39.760
<v Speaker 2>needs to stop shooting itself in the foot with. Penalties

0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:43.919
<v Speaker 2>Justin herbert will be handing the ball off to promising running,

0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:47.199
<v Speaker 2>backs but nobody that scares you Like Royce freeman Or Kenyon,

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:50.600
<v Speaker 2>Barner Limichael James Leger blunt that, level at least to our,

0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.520
<v Speaker 2>knowledge could BE. Cj, verdell could Be Tony, Brooks james

0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:57.720
<v Speaker 2>who's been around forever receiver they're solid. There they get

0:18:57.760 --> 0:19:00.640
<v Speaker 2>a transfer in To Barnie hines tight. End the solid,

0:19:01.200 --> 0:19:04.159
<v Speaker 2>again no game breakers Like Darren carrington was at least

0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:09.320
<v Speaker 2>that jumps out in Mid. August, defensively they should be very,

0:19:09.359 --> 0:19:11.960
<v Speaker 2>good especially. Upfront Troy dye is one of the, best

0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 2>probably two or three linebackers in the. Conference up, Front

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:17.960
<v Speaker 2>Jordan scott was a Freshman All american nose. Tackle next to,

0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:21.000
<v Speaker 2>Him Jalen jels is gonna be really. Good the depth isn't,

0:19:21.000 --> 0:19:22.720
<v Speaker 2>there and you can say that about all three levels

0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:27.119
<v Speaker 2>of their. Defense there's talent depth. Questions so if they

0:19:27.160 --> 0:19:29.720
<v Speaker 2>are healthy on, defense they should have a top thirty,

0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:33.320
<v Speaker 2>defense top twenty five defense in the. Country because of the,

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.639
<v Speaker 2>schedule they MISS usc they Get washington at home after a,

0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.879
<v Speaker 2>buye they Get stanford at, home they GET ucla at.

0:19:39.920 --> 0:19:42.119
<v Speaker 2>Home they travel To, utah which is always tricky for,

0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:47.480
<v Speaker 2>everybody and they Host Arizona. State the other trappiness is

0:19:47.880 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 2>To Washington. State not terribly worried About wazoo this, year

0:19:50.720 --> 0:19:53.240
<v Speaker 2>To arizona which is always just danger in the. Desert

0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:57.520
<v Speaker 2>so this to, ME i have a sense of like

0:19:57.560 --> 0:19:58.840
<v Speaker 2>a nine and three type year For.

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:01.359
<v Speaker 1>Oregon i've got nine or ten wins.

0:20:01.359 --> 0:20:05.720
<v Speaker 2>Here, yeah it's a very good year to have a

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:09.640
<v Speaker 2>good defense and a good. Quarterback the depth isn't there

0:20:09.680 --> 0:20:11.840
<v Speaker 2>to be a playoff, team receivers not there to be

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:16.320
<v Speaker 2>a playoff, team and the unknown quality Of Marcus arroyo

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.879
<v Speaker 2>Slash jim Mastro co, coordinators they're going to be running

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:25.400
<v Speaker 2>like they're switching the offense around pretty. DRAMATICALLY i think

0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:28.199
<v Speaker 2>the goal is to be AND i talked about this

0:20:28.280 --> 0:20:33.520
<v Speaker 2>on our Friends Wildcat radio. Today Tempo stanford out of

0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:37.920
<v Speaker 2>the pistol with spread. Elements does that mean anything to

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:40.560
<v Speaker 2>you or those are just? Words a little bit of, Both,

0:20:40.640 --> 0:20:44.040
<v Speaker 2>dan to be, Honest, yeah so there is a giant

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:47.960
<v Speaker 2>question mark about what this offense actually is and is

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:52.760
<v Speaker 2>trying to. Do so that to me is why ten

0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:55.040
<v Speaker 2>wins means you've got your act.

0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Together you weren't, everywhere you weren't jumping through. Hoops when

0:20:58.880 --> 0:21:02.080
<v Speaker 3>they Hired Mario, CHRIS i think you saw it for

0:21:02.119 --> 0:21:05.000
<v Speaker 3>what it. Was you thought it made. Sense it continued

0:21:05.760 --> 0:21:07.399
<v Speaker 3>a lot of What oregon was trying to put in.

0:21:07.480 --> 0:21:10.879
<v Speaker 3>Place But Mario cristobal was a guy when he was

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.080
<v Speaker 3>a head football coach at f I u we were

0:21:13.080 --> 0:21:15.600
<v Speaker 3>doing the podcast at the. Time he got a lot

0:21:15.600 --> 0:21:19.040
<v Speaker 3>out of that, team and those were exciting football teams.

0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 3>TOO i remember watching T Y. Hilton you remember T Y?

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.600
<v Speaker 3>Hilton of? Course Does oregon have a T Y hilton this?

0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:27.760
<v Speaker 3>Year are they gonna have a go to playmaker that

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:29.640
<v Speaker 3>Isn't Justin herbert.

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:33.320
<v Speaker 2>On, offense you, know as like an all purpose? Weapon?

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:37.080
<v Speaker 2>UNCLEAR i, Mean Dylan mitchell is a. Receiver he's not

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.680
<v Speaker 2>like a slot guide, necessarily and he came on strong

0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.080
<v Speaker 2>late last. Year Tabari hines was Wake forest and the co,

0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:46.240
<v Speaker 2>offense he was their leading. Receiver they get healthier at tight,

0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:50.479
<v Speaker 2>end but there's nobody that's game. Breaking if it's, anybody

0:21:50.520 --> 0:21:54.639
<v Speaker 2>it's Probably Dylan, mitchell with a slight chance Of Johnny.

0:21:54.720 --> 0:21:58.359
<v Speaker 2>Johnson but those are those feel LIKE b plus guys right.

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:02.000
<v Speaker 1>NOW i feel nine, wins nine wins feels about right to.

0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Me i'm gonna say nine wins with losses To, Washington,

0:22:08.720 --> 0:22:14.040
<v Speaker 2>arizona And utah.

0:22:13.280 --> 0:22:16.399
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a talk to your friends About oregon kind of.

0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:18.960
<v Speaker 2>Year but that would mean they'd Beat, stanford they Beat,

0:22:19.000 --> 0:22:23.080
<v Speaker 2>ucla they Beat wazoo on the, roads they Beat Arizona

0:22:23.119 --> 0:22:25.800
<v Speaker 2>state at. Home that's a pretty successful. Year but, yes

0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:30.160
<v Speaker 2>nine and three with if they get injury luck both

0:22:30.200 --> 0:22:35.400
<v Speaker 2>staying healthy and other teams losing crucial. Players sure there's

0:22:35.400 --> 0:22:36.840

<v Speaker 2>the bower. Out let's talk about your.

0:24:53.560 --> 0:24:58.800
<v Speaker 3>Enthusiasm cal went five and seven a year, ago but

0:24:58.960 --> 0:25:01.760
<v Speaker 3>this year they have ten guys back on offense and

0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:06.120
<v Speaker 3>eight on. Defense they do this year the road schedule isn't. Terrible,

0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:10.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay now keep this in. MIND i say, that but

0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:15.320
<v Speaker 3>when we start talking about a team Like, cal it's

0:25:15.359 --> 0:25:17.600
<v Speaker 3>not so much a question of whether or not the

0:25:17.720 --> 0:25:20.679
<v Speaker 3>talent will perform on the. Road this is a question

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:22.880
<v Speaker 3>we ask about teams THAT i think are more known

0:25:22.960 --> 0:25:25.959
<v Speaker 3>quantities that we expect more. From we can ask that

0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:30.320
<v Speaker 3>question About, washington or About stanford Or auburn Or Alabama,

0:25:30.640 --> 0:25:32.840
<v Speaker 3>georgia teams that we know what we're going to. Get

0:25:32.880 --> 0:25:37.640
<v Speaker 3>will that team perform on the? Road For, cal it's

0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:41.040
<v Speaker 3>really a question across the board about whether or not

0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:42.879
<v Speaker 3>the talent is elite enough to.

0:25:42.920 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 1>Win elite period?

0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Elite All?

0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Right Is cal? Elite?

0:25:49.359 --> 0:25:53.840
<v Speaker 3>Perhaps is a question we can ask ourselves in spots

0:25:53.880 --> 0:25:56.320
<v Speaker 3>about The Cal Golden. BEARS i SUSPECT i know the,

0:25:56.359 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 3>answer and the answer is.

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:03.479
<v Speaker 2>NO i promise you every week that we preview games this,

0:26:03.560 --> 0:26:05.440
<v Speaker 2>YEAR i am going to check.

0:26:05.480 --> 0:26:10.560
<v Speaker 1>In is? KLALITE i hope you. Do i'm going to can.

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:14.320
<v Speaker 3>We know the answer to the question is. Klalite the

0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:18.359
<v Speaker 3>answer is no In. August Where i'm going with this,

0:26:18.480 --> 0:26:22.439
<v Speaker 3>though is That Justin wilcox is elite at getting the

0:26:22.480 --> 0:26:24.960
<v Speaker 3>most out of his. Guys so even if he doesn't

0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:27.840
<v Speaker 3>have high end, talent you're gonna see a lot of

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:32.040
<v Speaker 3>puckiness out, there a lot of pluckiness out. There these

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:35.040
<v Speaker 3>guys are playing. Hard The Bauer hour will be fun

0:26:35.040 --> 0:26:38.919
<v Speaker 3>to watch With Ross bauer's starting. Quarterback mm. HMM i

0:26:38.920 --> 0:26:43.320
<v Speaker 3>think realistically we're talking six and, six seven and, five

0:26:44.119 --> 0:26:47.320
<v Speaker 3>but it would not surprise me to see. EIGHT i

0:26:47.440 --> 0:26:49.200
<v Speaker 3>like this cal team BECAUSE i think they're gonna play.

0:26:49.200 --> 0:26:54.000
<v Speaker 3>HARD i think the returning talent will be something That

0:26:54.119 --> 0:26:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Justin wilcox is going to use as a springboard to

0:26:58.160 --> 0:27:00.399
<v Speaker 3>improve upon his five wins from a year.

0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Ago so it's difficult for me to get fully on

0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 2>board with the team that went too and seven in

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:07.680
<v Speaker 2>The pac twelve last.

0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Year, fairpoint very.

0:27:09.400 --> 0:27:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Fair they lose seven of their last, nine.

0:27:14.480 --> 0:27:15.360
<v Speaker 1>And they were.

0:27:15.400 --> 0:27:18.240
<v Speaker 2>COMPETITIVE i will say that they were. Competitive they lose

0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:21.440
<v Speaker 2>in double overtime To. Arizona they lose by a field

0:27:21.440 --> 0:27:23.640
<v Speaker 2>goal in a very strange game To. Stanford they lose

0:27:23.640 --> 0:27:26.840
<v Speaker 2>by field goal TO, ucla so they were, competitive AND

0:27:26.880 --> 0:27:29.439
<v Speaker 2>i think that shows a lot to your use of

0:27:29.480 --> 0:27:32.720
<v Speaker 2>the word, plucky which makes me a little, uncomfortable But

0:27:33.000 --> 0:27:36.280
<v Speaker 2>i'm okay with it WHEN i look at what they

0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:38.920
<v Speaker 2>have right. NOW i am not sold On Ross, bauers

0:27:38.960 --> 0:27:41.119
<v Speaker 2>And i'm not necessarily sold On brandon, mcelwaine who was

0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:46.040
<v Speaker 2>pushing him The South carolina. Transfer BUT i love their.

0:27:46.040 --> 0:27:48.880
<v Speaker 2>COORDINATORS i Love Bo, BALDWIN i Love tim De, ruter

0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:54.679
<v Speaker 2>their past. Defense it's very tough not to when you

0:27:54.720 --> 0:27:57.120
<v Speaker 2>see things crumbling around, you when the offense is taking

0:27:57.320 --> 0:27:59.359
<v Speaker 2>a step, back to not sort of let your guard.

0:27:59.400 --> 0:28:01.720
<v Speaker 2>DOWN i liked that they played hard all year. LONG

0:28:02.480 --> 0:28:04.560
<v Speaker 2>i like that their non conference schedules pretty.

0:28:04.560 --> 0:28:04.919
<v Speaker 1>Good this.

0:28:05.040 --> 0:28:07.520
<v Speaker 2>Year they go To North, carolina which was just delta,

0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:09.719
<v Speaker 2>blow like eight and a half hours after we did

0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:15.520
<v Speaker 2>OUR Acc coastal preview with thirteen players getting suspended for

0:28:15.560 --> 0:28:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Selling Jordan's they Have oregon After Oregon, stanford and that's At,

0:28:21.480 --> 0:28:23.879
<v Speaker 2>cal so there's a big body blow situation. There they

0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Have arizona After ARIZONA. Usc they Have washington At cal

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:33.199
<v Speaker 2>Before Washington, stanford so that's a look ahead. Situation and

0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:36.520
<v Speaker 2>they go TO usc a week before the rivalry game

0:28:36.560 --> 0:28:39.800
<v Speaker 2>AGAINST ucla THAT usc has so, Situationally cal's in a

0:28:39.800 --> 0:28:44.000
<v Speaker 2>pretty good. Space their corners are really really. Good there

0:28:44.000 --> 0:28:45.880
<v Speaker 2>are defensive pieces that are really really. GOOD i like

0:28:45.920 --> 0:28:48.680
<v Speaker 2>them at. Linebacker the big thing to me is in

0:28:48.760 --> 0:28:50.960
<v Speaker 2>looking at them big picture and how they. Perform AND

0:28:51.000 --> 0:28:53.160
<v Speaker 2>i think this is a product of the coordinator. SITUATION

0:28:54.240 --> 0:28:57.440
<v Speaker 2>i was talking to our Pal Yogi, roth and he

0:28:57.560 --> 0:28:59.920
<v Speaker 2>keeps track of something unique in the way that Like

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 2>bruce introduced us to his body blow, theory which may

0:29:02.640 --> 0:29:05.000
<v Speaker 2>or may not mathematically check, out but it's just a.

0:29:05.040 --> 0:29:08.120
<v Speaker 2>Theory And yogi while the games are going, on he

0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:11.120
<v Speaker 2>calls games for THE pac twelve. Network hopefully look it.

0:29:11.200 --> 0:29:14.520
<v Speaker 2>Up it might behind your local cable. Package he keeps

0:29:14.520 --> 0:29:15.800
<v Speaker 2>track of unforced.

0:29:15.440 --> 0:29:16.479
<v Speaker 1>Errors oh like in.

0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Tennis like in, tennis so that's, penalties, drops miscommunications where

0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:25.520
<v Speaker 2>like a quarterback throws the ball downfield and nobody's there

0:29:25.560 --> 0:29:28.040
<v Speaker 2>because of the receiver ran a different route than the.

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:30.320
<v Speaker 3>Fact this isn't just like on the. Fly this is

0:29:30.360 --> 0:29:32.440
<v Speaker 3>something that he actively keeps track.

0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Of he keeps track of it during games that he's

0:29:34.760 --> 0:29:37.040
<v Speaker 2>calling and then when he's watching, games he marks things

0:29:37.080 --> 0:29:39.520
<v Speaker 2>down that are just dumb. Mistakes he. Said the two

0:29:39.560 --> 0:29:43.760
<v Speaker 2>teams that outpaced pretty much everybody last year Were cal In,

0:29:43.920 --> 0:29:46.960
<v Speaker 2>washington and it's a mark of focus from players and

0:29:47.040 --> 0:29:50.080
<v Speaker 2>good teaching from. Coaches And cal is one of those

0:29:50.120 --> 0:29:53.760
<v Speaker 2>teams that despite going five and seven last, year despite

0:29:53.800 --> 0:29:56.080
<v Speaker 2>losing what going two and seven in The pac, twelve

0:29:57.040 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 2>that all of their mistakes or all of their troubles

0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:02.400
<v Speaker 2>or most of their troubles where as a result of

0:30:02.480 --> 0:30:05.400
<v Speaker 2>teams just being better Than. Cal, okay BUT i Think

0:30:05.560 --> 0:30:08.480
<v Speaker 2>Justin wilcox is going to continue recruiting well. Enough they

0:30:08.480 --> 0:30:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Lose Demetrius robertson this, offseason that their five star wide

0:30:12.080 --> 0:30:17.040
<v Speaker 2>receiver going back To. GEORGIA i think there are too

0:30:17.120 --> 0:30:20.400
<v Speaker 2>many questions in terms of playmakers on offense and what

0:30:20.440 --> 0:30:22.680
<v Speaker 2>they're going to look like upfront on defense for them

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:26.200
<v Speaker 2>to really threaten the better teams on their. Schedule BUT

0:30:26.240 --> 0:30:27.560
<v Speaker 2>i think they can go to A bowl this. YEAR

0:30:27.640 --> 0:30:30.040
<v Speaker 2>i think they. Can they can win six, games seven, games.

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 1>SOMETHING i agree.

0:30:31.600 --> 0:30:35.719
<v Speaker 2>Interesting So, okay, YEAH i am buying incremental improvements With

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 2>cal thanks To Yogi roth's unforced error.

0:30:38.880 --> 0:30:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Theory Washington. State.

0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Daniel Washington state went nine to. Three they got drilled

0:30:44.320 --> 0:30:47.959
<v Speaker 3>By Michigan state and The Holiday. Bowl ten starters back this,

0:30:48.040 --> 0:30:51.920
<v Speaker 3>year WHICH i believe makes them the least experienced team

0:30:51.960 --> 0:30:58.440
<v Speaker 3>in The pac. Twelve Alex, grinch their mean defensive, coordinator

0:30:58.480 --> 0:31:02.320
<v Speaker 3>went To Ohio, state and they bring In Tracy, clays

0:31:03.800 --> 0:31:08.960
<v Speaker 3>former head football coach At, minnesota to be their new defensive. Coordinator,

0:31:08.960 --> 0:31:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Now Tracy clays is ACTUALLY i think a pretty good.

0:31:12.040 --> 0:31:16.800
<v Speaker 3>Higher this is a guy, who despite the fact that

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:20.280
<v Speaker 3>his run As minnesota coach had some ups and, downs

0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:25.640
<v Speaker 3>he was a defensive coordinator for like sixteen years before

0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:29.000
<v Speaker 3>that head coaching. Stint he runs a pretty good defense

0:31:29.360 --> 0:31:31.960
<v Speaker 3>and he's got a track record for being a very

0:31:31.960 --> 0:31:36.040
<v Speaker 3>good defensive. Coordinator you don't really worry about the offense

0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:39.160
<v Speaker 3>With Mike. Leach they'll probably be just fine, there even

0:31:39.200 --> 0:31:40.480
<v Speaker 3>though there are going to be a lot of new.

0:31:40.480 --> 0:31:46.840
<v Speaker 3>Faces and you mentioned the quarterback. Position defensively though defensively

0:31:46.840 --> 0:31:49.760
<v Speaker 3>that's Where wazu made some pretty big strides Under Alex.

0:31:49.880 --> 0:31:54.400
<v Speaker 3>Grinch now that he's, GONE i am worried about what

0:31:54.440 --> 0:31:58.040
<v Speaker 3>this means For wazoo and For Mike. Leach here is

0:31:58.080 --> 0:32:02.840
<v Speaker 3>just sort of a quick glance at what improved Under Alex. Frinch, hey,

0:32:02.840 --> 0:32:05.320
<v Speaker 3>ma we saw the speed defense last, year remember a

0:32:05.320 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 3>speed D they called it course. Unpredictable in twenty, FOURTEEN

0:32:09.320 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 3>wazu was one hundred and seventeenth in scoring. Defense the

0:32:13.360 --> 0:32:16.840
<v Speaker 3>next year that improved to seventy, fourth and twenty sixteen

0:32:16.880 --> 0:32:20.040
<v Speaker 3>up to. Fiftieth last year hovered right around that fifty.

0:32:20.120 --> 0:32:25.720
<v Speaker 3>Mark that was so huge For Washington. STATE i Think

0:32:25.760 --> 0:32:28.280
<v Speaker 3>Tracy clays is a good. HIRE i think he plays

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 3>a tough branded. Defense he's had defenses that were really

0:32:31.160 --> 0:32:34.080
<v Speaker 3>stingy in the red zone in the. Past BUT i

0:32:34.160 --> 0:32:39.200
<v Speaker 3>think unless he can really continue What Alex grinch had,

0:32:39.240 --> 0:32:43.440
<v Speaker 3>going unless he can improve upon it in a big,

0:32:43.480 --> 0:32:46.520
<v Speaker 3>way we're probably looking at a year where there are

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:51.560
<v Speaker 3>just too many questions For Washington, state where the schedule

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:55.760
<v Speaker 3>isn't terrific in that they play AT, usc they're home

0:32:55.800 --> 0:33:00.640
<v Speaker 3>Against oregon At. STANFORD i think we're probably looking at

0:33:00.680 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 3>a step back year.

0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:03.400
<v Speaker 2>HERE i think this might be the end of The

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:08.280
<v Speaker 2>Mike leeue. ERA i, believe AND i will disagree with

0:33:08.360 --> 0:33:10.800
<v Speaker 2>you on one. POINT i am not at all in

0:33:10.840 --> 0:33:13.560
<v Speaker 2>a place to count on A mike leech, offense whatever

0:33:13.560 --> 0:33:17.200
<v Speaker 2>that means in twenty eighteen being automatically pretty good because

0:33:17.200 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 2>they weren't last year and they were dealing with injury at.

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:23.520
<v Speaker 2>Quarterback this was a team led by its, defense and

0:33:23.560 --> 0:33:26.160
<v Speaker 2>you said they got up to like fiftieth in scoring

0:33:26.200 --> 0:33:30.720
<v Speaker 2>defense because of their offensive. Struggles that RANK i think

0:33:31.240 --> 0:33:34.360
<v Speaker 2>misleads how good and dangerous that team. Was it was

0:33:34.360 --> 0:33:38.560
<v Speaker 2>probably a top thirty defense in the country and just

0:33:38.680 --> 0:33:40.880
<v Speaker 2>were on the field too much and put into precarious.

0:33:40.920 --> 0:33:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Situations This Washington state team was super fun on defense last,

0:33:45.080 --> 0:33:48.640
<v Speaker 2>year led By Hercules, mataafa an absolute. DUDE i don't

0:33:48.680 --> 0:33:51.400
<v Speaker 2>care where he is in the. World he is an absolute.

0:33:51.440 --> 0:33:54.040
<v Speaker 2>Dude they were they. Finished these are the, analytics mind,

0:33:54.080 --> 0:33:57.680
<v Speaker 2>you eleventh in points per drive on offense out of twelve,

0:33:57.680 --> 0:34:02.000
<v Speaker 2>teams just ahead Of Oregon. State they finish second in

0:34:02.040 --> 0:34:05.360
<v Speaker 2>points per drive on defense allowed in THE pac, twelve

0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:11.400
<v Speaker 2>just Behind Washington so that encouraging about the, defense not

0:34:11.520 --> 0:34:14.360
<v Speaker 2>so super encouraging about the. Offense now they go to

0:34:15.000 --> 0:34:18.160
<v Speaker 2>probably a grad transfer And Gardner minshew comes over FROM

0:34:18.160 --> 0:34:22.720
<v Speaker 2>ecu who is brand new to this. System they lose

0:34:22.760 --> 0:34:25.920
<v Speaker 2>their best running, back they lose their best two offensive

0:34:25.960 --> 0:34:29.600
<v Speaker 2>linemen including What cody, O'Donnell the Mountain man Who Adam

0:34:29.640 --> 0:34:36.640
<v Speaker 2>amine called a dude on NATIONAL, tv and defensively losing

0:34:36.719 --> 0:34:38.839
<v Speaker 2>a couple of big pieces up. FRONT i know they

0:34:38.880 --> 0:34:41.359
<v Speaker 2>return a lot in the linebacking, corps but the other

0:34:41.400 --> 0:34:44.920
<v Speaker 2>thing they lose a lot of is. Coaches tie they

0:34:44.960 --> 0:34:48.840
<v Speaker 2>lost like eight. ASSISTANTS i think this is a season

0:34:48.840 --> 0:34:51.600
<v Speaker 2>in which there are just too many leaks to plug

0:34:52.000 --> 0:34:57.520
<v Speaker 2>For Washington. State AND i think everybody In pullman is

0:34:57.560 --> 0:35:01.480
<v Speaker 2>getting to the point eventually that were Like Mike leach

0:35:01.520 --> 0:35:04.200
<v Speaker 2>may have worn out is welcome a little bit and

0:35:04.239 --> 0:35:07.759
<v Speaker 2>it's just you, know he has not a, ceiling but

0:35:07.840 --> 0:35:10.759
<v Speaker 2>an expiration, date AND i think we've gotten a little

0:35:10.760 --> 0:35:13.600
<v Speaker 2>bit close to that In, pullman AND i think it's

0:35:13.600 --> 0:35:16.120
<v Speaker 2>going to show this. YEAR i think the bottom falls, out.

0:35:16.160 --> 0:35:17.279
<v Speaker 1>AND i hope it.

0:35:17.320 --> 0:35:19.239
<v Speaker 2>DOESN'T i Hope Washington state's fun and gets to the

0:35:19.239 --> 0:35:21.279
<v Speaker 2>point where they're competing for the division once again like

0:35:21.320 --> 0:35:24.360
<v Speaker 2>they were last. Year but it's it's too many. Leaks,

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah i'm going to, SAY i don't think they're making

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:28.799
<v Speaker 2>a bowl. GAME i think it's like a four and

0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:30.920
<v Speaker 2>eight year with a dissent. State i'm with, you.

0:35:32.400 --> 0:35:35.560
<v Speaker 3>And that brings us then To Oregon. State, Yeah Oregon

0:35:35.600 --> 0:35:38.360
<v Speaker 3>state went one and. Eleven they've got a new, Coach Jonathan,

0:35:38.600 --> 0:35:44.880
<v Speaker 3>smith who was the Former washington offensive. Coordinator fifteen starters

0:35:44.920 --> 0:35:47.080
<v Speaker 3>back from a year, ago, which you, KNOW i don't

0:35:47.080 --> 0:35:49.160
<v Speaker 3>know what that really means on a team that went

0:35:49.200 --> 0:35:53.720
<v Speaker 3>one and, eleven but it's. Something and the only other point,

0:35:53.760 --> 0:35:57.880
<v Speaker 3>here while there's never really a great schedule for a

0:35:57.880 --> 0:36:01.640
<v Speaker 3>team that went one and, eleven, yeah playing At Ohio

0:36:01.680 --> 0:36:07.120
<v Speaker 3>state in week one is sort of cruel and unusual. Punishment, yeah,

0:36:07.280 --> 0:36:14.480
<v Speaker 3>FAIR i guess they have to. Improve maybe they will.

0:36:14.480 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 3>Improve they one will.

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Improve they Have Ohio state that's gonna be a nail

0:36:19.280 --> 0:36:22.480
<v Speaker 2>bier as to If Ohio. State as to the, Point,

0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:26.200
<v Speaker 2>yeah they're gonna Beat Southern, utah there's a good shot

0:36:26.200 --> 0:36:28.719
<v Speaker 2>of Beating. Nevada nevada is not in a great place right.

0:36:28.760 --> 0:36:31.960
<v Speaker 2>Now arizona's gonna be. Tough Arizona state on the road

0:36:32.040 --> 0:36:34.879
<v Speaker 2>is gonna be. Tough, wazoo we'll see that's at. Home

0:36:36.280 --> 0:36:40.480
<v Speaker 2>colorado on the. Road i'm not super happy About. Colorado

0:36:41.280 --> 0:36:43.560
<v Speaker 2>they had a weird situation With stanford last, year the

0:36:43.560 --> 0:36:47.320
<v Speaker 2>weird close game they closed with a pretty Difficult NOVEMBER

0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:51.239
<v Speaker 2>Usc Stanford, Washington sanford And washington on the, road and

0:36:51.239 --> 0:36:53.840
<v Speaker 2>then The Civil war is at home In. Corvallis but

0:36:54.520 --> 0:36:57.040
<v Speaker 2>That colorado game on the road is After Colorado. Washington

0:36:57.880 --> 0:37:01.120
<v Speaker 2>The Washington state game is After Wazoo. Utah they Have

0:37:01.200 --> 0:37:05.080
<v Speaker 2>arizona a week After ARIZONA. Usc so if you are

0:37:05.200 --> 0:37:08.880
<v Speaker 2>just if you're combing through the, Possibilities i'm gonna Say

0:37:08.920 --> 0:37:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Oregon state goes three and. Nine, OKAY i don't love,

0:37:12.640 --> 0:37:16.879
<v Speaker 2>much but there is a. Sign, WELL i, Like i'm

0:37:16.880 --> 0:37:18.959
<v Speaker 2>a big believer in. Signs what is the first name

0:37:19.480 --> 0:37:23.880
<v Speaker 2>of the probable starting? Quarterback If Connor, blunt the freshman

0:37:23.920 --> 0:37:27.239
<v Speaker 2>does not win the, job is It? Jake it Is Jake.

0:37:27.520 --> 0:37:31.239
<v Speaker 2>Tye and to bring everything full. Circle if you can't

0:37:31.239 --> 0:37:32.919
<v Speaker 2>believe in A, jake what can you? Believe what can

0:37:32.960 --> 0:37:33.320
<v Speaker 2>you believe?

0:37:33.360 --> 0:37:37.400
<v Speaker 1>In Tie Pacific? Northwest jake Forrest Pacific.

0:37:37.440 --> 0:37:44.279
<v Speaker 2>Northwest The Jake forest extends to central Western. Oregon so

0:37:44.440 --> 0:37:48.000
<v Speaker 2>three and Nine Oregon state will incrementally. Improve they Hired

0:37:48.360 --> 0:37:52.280
<v Speaker 2>wisconsin's outside linebackers COACH i believe to run the. Defense

0:37:52.320 --> 0:37:57.480
<v Speaker 2>so The Oregon State Wisconsin Gary Anderson thread has stretched

0:37:57.520 --> 0:38:02.080
<v Speaker 2>a little. Farther it's gonna be a tough. Year BUT

0:38:02.200 --> 0:38:04.279
<v Speaker 2>i would IF i were An Oregon state, FAN i

0:38:04.280 --> 0:38:07.759
<v Speaker 2>would hope for What cal look like near the, end

0:38:07.880 --> 0:38:10.480
<v Speaker 2>even with this terrible schedule at the, end for the

0:38:10.600 --> 0:38:13.440
<v Speaker 2>for The, beaves just that they're show and, fight just

0:38:13.480 --> 0:38:16.480
<v Speaker 2>that they look, organized just that they're playing discipline football

0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:20.839
<v Speaker 2>and go three and, nine and then hope for good

0:38:20.960 --> 0:38:23.959
<v Speaker 2>enough recruiting year over year that they become a bull.

0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:27.200
<v Speaker 2>Threat that to me is a huge. Success it's going to.

0:39:12.680 --> 0:39:15.800
<v Speaker 2>leyton vander esh should be lights. Out this is nothing,

0:39:15.840 --> 0:39:16.800

<v Speaker 2>arkansas Has Colorado. State Colorado state will be starting kJ Cardi,

0:39:32.000 --> 0:39:35.560
<v Speaker 2>samuels The washington, transfer and The rams don't have much

0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:38.279
<v Speaker 2>of a, Defense so shootout city For Colorado. State New

0:39:38.280 --> 0:39:41.239
<v Speaker 2>mexico's going away from the option Because Georgia southern hired

0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:44.319
<v Speaker 2>their coordinator and they're going With calvin, McGee who has

0:39:44.320 --> 0:39:46.080
<v Speaker 2>been At, Arizona so they're going to be running sort

0:39:46.120 --> 0:39:48.840
<v Speaker 2>of spreadish stuff that they've kind of succeeded with. Recently,

0:39:49.280 --> 0:39:52.480
<v Speaker 2>wyoming because you're hearing a lot of offense, Talk wyoming

0:39:52.560 --> 0:39:57.239
<v Speaker 2>has a great defense and they return basically all of.

0:39:57.280 --> 0:40:02.480
<v Speaker 2>It Carl granderson super, Fun their safeties are. Great wyoming

0:40:02.960 --> 0:40:07.800
<v Speaker 2>could have a year in which whoever starts a quarterback

0:40:07.840 --> 0:40:09.360
<v Speaker 2>BECAUSE i do not have his name in front of,

0:40:09.400 --> 0:40:13.560
<v Speaker 2>me whoever ends up starting a. Quarterback if he, succeeds

0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:18.719
<v Speaker 2>people are going to suddenly say things, like, huh Guess

0:40:18.840 --> 0:40:22.319
<v Speaker 2>Josh allen was not as big of a deal as

0:40:22.360 --> 0:40:27.359
<v Speaker 2>we perhaps. Thought you're talking About Tyler. Vanderwall that sounds, Right,

0:40:27.480 --> 0:40:31.279
<v Speaker 2>YEAH i. AM i am excited For wyoming's. Defense they

0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:34.440
<v Speaker 2>play teams, tough AND i like their. Coach his head

0:40:34.480 --> 0:40:37.240
<v Speaker 2>looks like the inside of The. Oregon, oh The, Mountain

0:40:37.239 --> 0:40:39.360
<v Speaker 2>West mountain will be pretty. Good Utah, state there's not

0:40:39.400 --> 0:40:42.959
<v Speaker 2>a ton there THAT i. Love New. Mexico we mentioned Air.

0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:46.520
<v Speaker 2>Force they just if they're going to, succeed if they're

0:40:46.560 --> 0:40:48.719
<v Speaker 2>going to be a team that threatens eight or nine,

0:40:48.760 --> 0:40:51.160
<v Speaker 2>wins they need to be able to complete sixty percent

0:40:51.200 --> 0:40:54.120
<v Speaker 2>of their. Passes and it's you, know Like Troy. CALHOUN

0:40:54.360 --> 0:40:57.200
<v Speaker 2>i JUST i don't see this team having the offense

0:40:57.239 --> 0:40:59.920
<v Speaker 2>to get to that point because, defensively they're nowhere near.

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:06.359
<v Speaker 2>It all, right that's it until we talk About CONFERENCE, usa.

0:41:06.200 --> 0:41:10.120
<v Speaker 1>Until we talk About CONFERENCE. Usa, yes the best for last,

0:41:10.560 --> 0:41:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Indeed so, okay Is washington gonna go to the?

0:41:14.840 --> 0:41:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Playoff they're the best team in the back, Twelve BUT

0:41:17.239 --> 0:41:19.360
<v Speaker 2>i don't think they're going to the. Playoff, OKAY i

0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:25.480
<v Speaker 2>think unless they go undefeated or, lose if they lose

0:41:25.520 --> 0:41:30.560
<v Speaker 2>To auburn thirty to twenty, seven, seventeen fourteen and, over you,

0:41:30.560 --> 0:41:33.520
<v Speaker 2>know something crazy and close and, impressive and then just

0:41:34.160 --> 0:41:36.480
<v Speaker 2>smoke the rest of their, schedule go finish out eleven

0:41:36.480 --> 0:41:41.600
<v Speaker 2>and h probably to the. Playoff but short of something like,

0:41:41.640 --> 0:41:43.560
<v Speaker 2>that it's it's tough for me to see them going

0:41:43.560 --> 0:41:43.960
<v Speaker 2>at ten and.

0:41:44.000 --> 0:41:48.040
