Speaker 1: I'm great, and I'm especially good.

10
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: Knowing that you open the show without making some sort

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty vision crack really makes me happy.

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: Because I'm not even that corny that feels like it's

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: going to be late April early May twenty twenty vision.

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: Let's make predictions way too early kind of show. But

15
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: we could do a very very cheesy Hindsight's twenty twenty.

16
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: Prediction show, or like that is we capture Oh yeah,

17
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 2: I mean we're recapping our predictions in the Hindsight twenty

18
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: twenty of our preseason predictions. But we have gotten ahead

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: of ourselves. It is the new year, which means we

20
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: have a lot of news. We have a lot of

21
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 2: draft stuff, we have a lot of bowl games to recap.

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 2: We are going to be previewing the national championship game

23
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: on our next episode. Our following episode, we're going to

24
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: deep dive into what's LSU Clemson. That's who see Clemson.

25
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 1: They are playing for the College Football Playoff national championship

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 1: on January thirteenth, which I will be watching with you

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: live for that, And as we alluded to on the

28
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: previous show, we're going to be doing one of our

29
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: only in person shows to recap that national championship. It

30
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: hardly ever happens. So we're excited about next week. Hopefully

31
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: if you're listening to us now, I know you are,

32
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: but hopefully you're as excited as we are for this

33
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: championship game.

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it should be a terrific championship game. We've had

35
00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: some terrific bowl games that have transpired since we recorded

36
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: that we need to talk in depth about. I didn't

37
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 2: watch a lot of these as they were happening, and

38
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: I went back and rewatched everything I missed because I

39
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,960
Speaker 2: was away, I was on vacation. I was going to

40
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: sleep early because I am an old but I am

41
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 2: fully caught up and boy died Ty did I say, die,

42
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 2: YEAHI do.

43
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: I have thoughts. Oh, I have thoughts as well, before

44
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: we before we tackle all those bowl games. Yeah, I'm

45
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: not going to go crazy with raising the register and

46
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: saying breaking news or anything crazy like that. Boo boo boop.

47
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: But a couple odds and ends that we need to

48
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 1: discuss first and foremost. Yeah. A Bull Confidence Pool update, Dan, Oh,

49
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: I'm ready. As you know. This year participants over thirteen

50
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: hundred of them. A great turnout in the solid verbal

51
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: Bull Confidence Pool. They're competing for three one of three

52
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: gift cards from our friends over at Roeback. Correct, We've

53
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: got a pretty tight race at the top. Is that true?

54
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: It is true. I'm looking at it right now. I've

55
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: sort of done the math and by my calculations, an

56
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: entry by the name of Keith Richards eighty six. Don't

57
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: know if it is the Keith Richards. Let's assume yes,

58
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: he's got thirty seven potential points remaining if he can

59
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: close it out. If he gets all thirty seven of those,

60
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: he will be the victor. The one pick that I

61
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: am looking at, though, the one entry I'm looking at

62
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: is one. I guess it's number six. Let down look

63
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: ahead Sandwich use their name z Seally. Yeah, seventy one

64
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: points remaining potential points remaining. He can't dethrone Keith Richards

65
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: if both of them get their two remaining picks correct,

66
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: but he can leapfrog some of the other ones.

67
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: I'm jumping seventy three. Oh my gosh, maybe we have

68
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 2: some controversial system within the ESPN's Bowl mania seventy three

69
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: points remaining.

70
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: But oh okay, I got it wrong. Great.

71
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: I like the takeover. I like the takeover potential of

72
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: Zee Seally. If everything works out. Where are you ty?

73
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: What percentile? How many points do you have?

74
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: I entry? Yeah? So for me, let me pull up

75
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: my entry here. I am currently in the seventy sixth

76
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: percent tile and I have five hundred and eighty four points.

77
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 2: I'm in the eighty seven point six percent tile with

78
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: six hundred and five points. I have forty eight points

79
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 2: remaining potentially.

80
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: I don't know how many I have left, but suffice

81
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 1: to say, you're probably gonna be me.

82
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: If you look at the standings, it'll tell you with

83
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 2: your entry a top, it'll tell you how many PPR

84
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 2: you have.

85
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: Oh there it is thirty four thirty four left. So

86
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 1: I'm in a pretty good position to take you down. Okay,

87
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: well that's fine, Yeah, it's all in good fun. What

88
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: other news do we have? A former solid verbal guest,

89
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 1: Joe Morehead has been relieved. Oh were you surprised by this?

90
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: I was. Yeah.

91
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: As somebody who lives very far away from Starkfille, Mississippi,

92
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: who does not have his finger on the pulse of

93
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: Klanga Klanga, I assumed he would get at least another year.

94
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 2: And I understand the frustration among Bulldog fans with you know,

95
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 2: being out coached in certain scenarios and looking out classed

96
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: in certain scenarios, with inheriting, especially what he did on defense.

97
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: And I know they lost a couple of key cogs

98
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: from the twenty eighteen defense. But I was under the

99
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 2: assumption that in making that higher that he would be

100
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: given more time to see what he could do with

101
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: his own recruits on either side of the ball and

102
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: with his staff, and you know, improving as a coach. Obviously,

103
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 2: there were a number of factors. Maybe there was a

104
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 2: personality fit issue among other things. And you know, we

105
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: saw Mississippi State what they give up a what a.

106
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: Thirty one point run to Louisville after going up fourteen. Nothing.

107
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: Not that bowl games should be be.

108
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 2: All and all, but they're certainly a platform for people

109
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: to take in your school and your team's ability. And

110
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: that was not a great showing for Mississippi State. And

111
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 2: as we as we move forward, I suppose Missisippi State

112
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: is going to need to find somebody that they believe

113
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: to be a better fit. They believe to be somebody

114
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: who can prepare a team better than Mississippi State looked

115
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: at times this season. I don't know who that is,

116
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: but if you fire somebody after two years, you should

117
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 2: probably do it in December to maximize your ability to

118
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 2: get the best possible candidate for your school and really

119
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 2: have a plan in place. Yeah, because if the situation

120
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: is so dire that Joe Morehead just cannot be the

121
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 2: guy in Starkville, fine, okay, but they haven't hired anybody yet.

122
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: Now it will quick turnaround. And the names that have

123
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 2: been thrown around, and I'm sure you're going to get

124
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: to this, yeah, after I finished speaking. The names have

125
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 2: been thrown around are not like, oh well, yeah, you

126
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: have to get rid of Morehead to get that guy. Well,

127
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: that's it. It's always the question of who's next. If

128
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 2: you're going to make a move to your point, what

129
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 2: is the plan to move forward? I see a lot

130
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 2: of names here that don't excite me. I see gene Chiswick,

131
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 2: who's currently an SEC network analyst, as a potential Billy Napier.

132
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: His team is going to play I guess on the sixth,

133
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: So tomorrow we're recording this on this.

134
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: Maybe there have been back channel chats and that's a

135
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: done deal. Billy Napier would be. It would be a

136
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: nice hire. Had a great season at Louisiana. I see

137
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: here this is a Clarion Ledger article. I see LSU

138
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator dave A. Randa. I don't think that's gonna happen.

139
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 1: I guess it could, but LSU will pay him handsomely.

140
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure to keep him on the staff. So a

141
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 1: lot remaining to be seen on this front. It did

142
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: catch me a little bit off guard as well. You

143
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: would expect, like you said, that maybe they would maximize

144
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: their window to search for a new coach by doing it.

145
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: Maybe it's what Joe Judge.

146
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: I saw Bruce Feldman tweet out, Yeah, potential candidate the

147
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: New England Patriots.

148
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: Patriot, but he's interviewing now over he's interviewing for pro

149
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: jobs as well. So a lot to B C. Jeff Monkin,

150
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: Willie Fritz, Blake Anderson, Mike Leach saw his name, so

151
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,239
Speaker 1: we'll see, I don't know, kind of caught me by surprise.

152
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: Any other any other coaching hires or declarations or non

153
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: declarations that we want to get to here, well, the

154
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: I mean saw JK.

155
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: Dobbins, Jonathan Taylor tailback, Donovan Peoples, Jones, Jerry Judy, Chase Young,

156
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: some some pretty significant names. We've had a couple guys

157
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,760
Speaker 2: say that they're coming back to school, highlighted by I

158
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 2: think you know, Dylan Moses at Alabama, a big returning

159
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: walker Little to Stanford, a really good offensive lineman. Uh,

160
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 2: Pat Fryarmuth will be back at Penn State, your guy, yep,

161
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: my boy? I think what Liam Eichenberg back to Notre Dame. Okay,

162
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: rakeem Boyd at Arkansas who put up some numbers of

163
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 2: this year.

164
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 1: He was good. Alex Leatherwood, keykog on Alabama's offensive line, though.

165
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 2: I believe they lose a guard to the to the draft.

166
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 2: I saw Savon achmed it declared the walk Shington running

167
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: back Elijah Moulden from Washington decided to come back. I'm

168
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: trying to think if there were any other giant, giant

169
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: names that have decided to come back. But yeah, this

170
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 2: is still a fluid thing. We don't know Tua that

171
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: there's nothing official there. Jake fromm I haven't seen anything yet.

172
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 2: I don't know if you have. Marvin Wilson decided to

173
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 2: stay and return to Florida State to be a part

174
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 2: of the Mike Norvel era. Some transfers all over the

175
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 2: place that we can get to probably in another show.

176
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 2: Sure off season wise, but good quarterbacks out there by

177
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: the way. Jamie Newman, Yeah, Jae, where's our transfer portal?

178
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 1: Son? Jamie Newman going to the portal? Yeah.

179
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: kJ Costello is still out there. Felipe Franks, I saw that,

180
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 2: you know that. I think it was Dan Mullen recommended

181
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 2: he go to Washington State and get developed by Mike Leech.

182
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 2: Anthony Brown, Jet Duffy still out there. So some interesting

183
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 2: names that we'll pay attention to as we sort things out.

184
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: I guess in the coming weeks once people start landing everywhere.

185
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 2: I saw Florida with a couple of big transfer recipients.

186
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: Lingard from Miami, a former five star running back. So yeah,

187
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: a lot to sort out. Sean Wade is returning to

188
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: a house state. You'll remember him, yep, from you know,

189
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 2: being ejected for targeting, but also a very good corner

190
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 2: for the buck Eyes. So that's a key returning piece

191
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: for the buck Eyes.

192
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: The only other thing that I want to point out

193
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 1: here is, and I'm sure we'll get to this and

194
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 1: talk more about it when we get to the Sugar Bowl,

195
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: but Matt Rule. Matt Rule has long been rumored for

196
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: an NFL job. You'll remember the Colts opening like a

197
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: year or two ago, after his first season at Baylor,

198
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: there were rumors that Colts were interested in talking to

199
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: Matt Rule. It seems like the smoke around Matt Rule

200
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: to the NFL is not going away anytime soon. He

201
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,479
Speaker 1: has two interviews set up this week, one with the Panthers,

202
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: one with my New York Giants. Yep. I wouldn't hate

203
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 1: the move, Dan would be very excited if they got

204
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: Matt Rule. Would feel very sorry for our friends down

205
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: at Baylor to lose a coach of his caliber. But

206
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 1: now that Matt Rules season is complete. He is testing

207
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: the NFL waters and just something to keep your eye on. Yeah.

208
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: I suppose Lincoln Riley's name is going to come up

209
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot for the Cowboys. Yeah.

210
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 2: It perhaps has taken a hit with Oklahoma's performance in

211
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 2: the College Football Playoff. I guess a couple other guys

212
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 2: you're connected to, YGM declared a while ago?

213
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: Is it?

214
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 2: ALOI Gilman? I always forget his first name. Helo he

215
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 2: HELLOHI Gilman?

216
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: Yeah he is.

217
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: kJ Hamler declared, yep, Yeah, that's a that's significant, especially

218
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 2: since what Justin Schorter announced his intention to transfer.

219
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, also kind of stinks. Yep. Well, let's I see

220
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: you see the reclamation project that can happen with Juwan

221
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: Johnson's This is a perfect segue into our Rose recap.

222
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: Thank you, all right, Well, why don't we take it

223
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: from there. Okay, let's talk about the Rose bull. Let's

224
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,040
Speaker 1: start there. Okay, granddaddy of them all. It was Oregon,

225
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 1: it was Wisconsin. It was Oregon twenty eight, Wisconsin twenty seven.

226
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 1: This was a close game, Dan, very close game. Would

227
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: you call it an exciting game? Sure?

228
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, even though there was a lot to be desired

229
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: in terms of disciplined football and offensive consistency and passing

230
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: games and general slop. The actual outcome seemed to be

231
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 2: in doubt as the game went back and forth and

232
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 2: needed a very late what an exclamation point with that

233
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 2: Juwan Johnson's screen pass to win it for Oregon.

234
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I couldn't. It was in doubt. It was exciting

235
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,959
Speaker 1: and just a very strange way. A strange way is

236
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: a good way to put it. I had a hard

237
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,559
Speaker 1: time summarizing my feelings on this game because I couldn't

238
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: figure out if it was exciting because it was close,

239
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: or just not exciting at all, or maybe exciting because

240
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: of the circumstances, or I was watching like I didn't

241
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: know how to feel about.

242
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 2: I think that's what it was. It was exciting because it's,

243
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: you know, the Rose Bowl winding down.

244
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: It's because of the circumstances, right, not because of the offense.

245
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: And of course there were some defensive plays here. As

246
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 1: you said, this was an ugly offensive game. Five total turnovers,

247
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 1: a lot of defense. We had some special teams. Oregon

248
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: one with just two hundred and four yards of offense

249
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: thanks to four Badger turnovers, three rushing touchdowns for Justin

250
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: Herbert and they had that cool one handed scoop and score.

251
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: I love that when they do that one handed scoop

252
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: and score from Brady Breeze. Potential All Hair team in

253
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, which we can get to a little bit later.

254
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: As the Oregon fan, clearly you've seen Oregon in close

255
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: game situations. Yeah, throughout the course of this season. Some

256
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: have gone better than others, but this was another one.

257
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,720
Speaker 1: This is on the biggest stage. It clearly meant a

258
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: lot to a guy like Justin Herbert in his senior season.

259
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts in this game and how it shook.

260
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 2: Out Oregon's defense and special teams not even really special

261
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 2: teams even though with that the punt return because they

262
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 2: gave up or wasn't a punt return, it was a

263
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: scoop and score, miss botched punt snap, organ gave up

264
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 2: a special team's touchdown. Wisconsin didn't get into the end zone.

265
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: The Wisconsin offense didn't get into the en zone until

266
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 2: right before the half. Oregon's defense did a very good

267
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 2: job against Jonathan Taylor tailback on the ground. Wisconsin needed

268
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 2: a number of fourth down conversions to keep drives alive,

269
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 2: which is fine.

270
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: They got him.

271
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: That big one on the Jonathan Taylor swing pass was enormous.

272
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 2: Wisconsin has a ceiling, and that's what we've seen, and

273
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 2: I know they've lost four straight Rose Bulls. Oregon winning

274
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: this game the way they did, I think our pal

275
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: Bill Connelly ESPN had Oregon's offense with a zero percent

276
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 2: success rate in the third quarter, partially due to the

277
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 2: fact that they scored the way they did on that

278
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 2: scoop and score. But when the offense was on the

279
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: field after that opening drive, which when I think seventy

280
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: five yard it's for a touchdown. The combination of Oregon's

281
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: own predictable and lack of execution, as well as Wisconsin's

282
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 2: defense in concert created a pretty terrible situation for Oregon's offense,

283
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: and they couldn't really get the ball going on the ground,

284
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 2: and yet they remained stubborn in the pistol and trying

285
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 2: to go up the gut. As we saw Wisconsin when

286
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 2: they struggled to get things going on the ground up

287
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 2: the middle, up the gut, they went to that the

288
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: fly sweep action, which seemed to be really working and

289
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: jumpstarting the Wisconsin offense. So it was a tale of

290
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 2: Wisconsin being sloppy penalty wise and obviously turnover wise, Oregon

291
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 2: taking advantage like a good defense and could team I

292
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 2: suppose would, and a nice play call at the end

293
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: to Juwan Johnson to seal things. Obviously controversy with the

294
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 2: offensive pass interference with being called on Wisconsin near the

295
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 2: end of the game. It seemed to be the right call,

296
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 2: but I it was also very bang bang. Also Wisconsin

297
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 2: interfered on that long pass that was called fro defensive

298
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 2: pass interference on or so. I don't know what cancels

299
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: what out, but Wisconsin certainly had all of the opportunity

300
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 2: in this game to put it away and came up short.

301
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: I want to give credit to Chris Fowler if I

302
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: could for a second here, if we could all just

303
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 1: take a knee. He worked so hard, so hard to

304
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: make this game feel and sound more exciting than it was.

305
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: That's his job. It is his job, and he did

306
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: a masterful job of it. Aside of the fact that

307
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: it's the Rose Bowl and there's a beautiful setting as

308
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: they pan the southern California sunset, he worked so hard

309
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: to make it sound exciting. I loved his quote on

310
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: Jack Cone did you hear this. Did you hear what

311
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: he said? For Jack Cone? I have this Zach quote,

312
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: I pulled it out. Yeah. Quote not flashy, but certainly

313
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,920
Speaker 1: more than a game manager. If that's not is that

314
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 1: a compliment? What is that?

315
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 2: What's the bar for a game manager? Then to Chris Fowl, Wisconsin,

316
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,959
Speaker 2: all of it's good this year when they were really

317
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 2: on it was Jack Cone taking advantage of a great

318
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 2: rushing attack and quintet cephas being legitimately the only downfield

319
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: threat that Wisconsin has on the Russ.

320
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 1: No, but yeah, it was. I feel for Wisconsin fans

321
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: because that offense if Jonathan Taylor is not busting things out,

322
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: and it was not an explosive offense even with him,

323
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: it was much more efficient than explosive. Was not a

324
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 1: fun watch. It was not a fun watch. And you know,

325
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 1: Oregon did a good job harassing a lot of Wisconsin

326
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 1: and what they were trying to do on offense and

327
00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: you know, swarming to the ball and forcing turnovers, but

328
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: not in terms of offensive football and TV. This was

329
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,640
Speaker 1: not a remarkable watch. Fair to say, fair to say,

330
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: I love Chris Fowler.

331
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 2: Good Oregon in the hunt for a new offensive coordinator,

332
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 2: which hopefully can take things in a more consistent, explosive,

333
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 2: creative direction.

334
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:01,639
Speaker 1: Maybe Joe Morehead, who knows Okay would hate but sugar ball.

335
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: Georgia twenty six the Baylor Bears fourteen. A monster game

336
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 1: here for freshman wide receiver George Pickens for Georgia. He

337
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: was the player of the game because he had twelve

338
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: grabs for one hundred and seventy five yards and a touchdown,

339
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: So big game for him. Also nice game for Zamir

340
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 1: White who had ninety two yards and a score on

341
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: the ground and Jake From doing more. Jake from things

342
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty, two hundred and fifty yards passing two

343
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,639
Speaker 1: touchdowns again no interceptions, had some really nice throws in

344
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: this game, really nice dimes that he was just dropping

345
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 1: in on two of those touchdown passes. And outside of that,

346
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: a really efficient performance by the Georgia offense. Baylor's offense

347
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: held mostly in check. Georgia took away the run almost entirely,

348
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: something like two point two yards per carry for the

349
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 1: Bears offense. They put a lot of the pressure on

350
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: Charlie Brewer and as a result, the offense held mostly

351
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: in check. Under three hundred yards Brewer actually got dinged

352
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: up in the fourth quarter. He wasn't concussed, thankfully, he

353
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: was a couple of weeks ago, but made it through

354
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 1: concussion protocol. They took him out out of an abundance

355
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: of caution. Jacob Zino came in, couldn't really get much going,

356
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: and I kind of felt like this game went almost

357
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 1: entirely the way we expected. Yeah.

358
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: Probably, I mean, Baylor doesn't score in the first half,

359
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: they take away the ground game, they take away some

360
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: of the short passes. And for as good as Baylor's

361
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 2: been this year, it's been because of their defense. And

362
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: that defense can only hold on for so long if

363
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: they're on the field constantly, and Georgia can say, look,

364
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: we know Denzel Mims is a threat, and they're good

365
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: enough to be able to take him out as often

366
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 2: as possible, take him away from the offense, and Baylor

367
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 2: doesn't have a counter punch. If Charlie Brewer and Denzel

368
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 2: Mims aren't connecting in Charlie Brewer's not scrambling for first downs,

369
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 2: and they're able to keep him in the pocket and

370
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 2: confuse him and take advantage of his mistakes, how much

371
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: Baylor can do not at this point in their progression

372
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: under Matt rule on offense. We'll see what happens in

373
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: the I guess he passed concussion protocol, but he's still

374
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: he's taking these hits and he's leaving games in precaution.

375
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: Like I don't know how long this can go on

376
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 2: for Charlie Brewer and Baylor at a certain point, like

377
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: it just it's a health concern.

378
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 1: It's a health question.

379
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: On a much more positive front, Georgia looked very good

380
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 2: and they cared so much more in this game. It

381
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 2: appeared just with the spirits and what JOI de vive

382
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: that they played with that they didn't fully have last

383
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 2: year against Texas. In this spot, I thought the offensive

384
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 2: line did a lot better job protecting Jake from We

385
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 2: saw that that flea flicker workout. Very strange to see

386
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 2: Matt Luke already prowling the sidekins taking over for Sam

387
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: Pittman as the offensive line coach for Georgia. Whatever he did,

388
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 2: perhaps in bowl preparation or in you know, keeping the

389
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 2: heads of the offensive linemen on straight, especially given the

390
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 2: new look offensive line that Georgia had given the guys

391
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: that were sitting out.

392
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: Good job, good job.

393
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Zamir White looked rand strong ran confidently. Good

394
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: for him with all that the health issues he's had

395
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 2: in the past, he looks like a future dude. For Georgia,

396
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift has declared for the NFL Draft, so that's

397
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: a new look. And I think you were right to

398
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 2: lead off with George Pickens, especially if he can get

399
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 2: the sort of mental aspect of football and controlling his

400
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 2: temper on the field in check. He is as talented

401
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 2: a receiver as the SEC has moving forward.

402
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: For sure, for sure, and you know what, to his credit,

403
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: he called it out. He said, you know, I've got

404
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: some maturing and growing do and we all do, Tyler,

405
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: don't we all? Don't we all? Ain't that the truth? Man?

406
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: But good game for him, A nice story to see

407
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 1: him succeed in the way he did get that trophy

408
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. Georgia wins the Sugar

409
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: Bowl by twelve. Elsewhere the Orange Bowl we had Florida

410
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: thirty six Virginia twenty eight. Now, look, I think there

411
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: is a tenancy to gloss over this one for Florida

412
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: because they were a pretty heavy favorite because they didn't

413
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: win the East, right, but five hundred and forty nine

414
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: yards thirty six points. That is not insignificant because it

415
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: wasn't all that long ago. We were singing a much

416
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: much different tune about Florida's offense. What they did this

417
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: year with a backup quarterback for the majority of the season,

418
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 1: having to recalibrate the way that Dan Mullen did, for

419
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: my money, one of the better stories in college football.

420
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Basically no success on the ground. No, not, well, what

421
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: Michael p Ryan in this game against Virginia. Yes, well,

422
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: Michael p Ran in this game had had a very good,

423
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 1: very good effort here one thirty eight. But to your point,

424
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: I think that's entirely accurate. Yeah.

425
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,440
Speaker 2: No, they struggled to sort of put forth a complete

426
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 2: offense this year, and they still won games. They still

427
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 2: exclusively lost to really good teams in what LSU and

428
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: Georgia and took care of business with a backup.

429
00:22:55,800 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: Quarterback who we not so politely called Calm Calm throw

430
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: Kyle or whatever we called him, and he got the

431
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: job done. He had a nice season, going against a

432
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: Virginia team that certainly beat up on defense and has

433
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,000
Speaker 1: its own questions in terms of how high level they

434
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 1: could be they were in this game the whole time.

435
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 1: They were well they were, but they weren't like Florida

436
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: kept them at arm's length for the entire second half.

437
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,239
Speaker 1: They pulled within one score early in the fourth, but

438
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: then Florida answered quickly and just sort of coasted to victory.

439
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: So they weren't out of it. I don't know if

440
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: they were ever truly within striking distance. It didn't feel

441
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 1: that way. I mean, six points with what twelve thirteen minutes?

442
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. It's just it's not

443
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 1: a runaway It wasn't a runaway train. You're right, it was.

444
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 2: The final score is not as accurate as the comfort

445
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 2: with which Florida seemed to pull away from this game,

446
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 2: but a nice showing because Bryce Perkins has to do

447
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 2: it all for Virginia and continuously did all season long.

448
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 2: I mean, not necessarily against Clemson, but you know, this

449
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: is a good Florida defense that Bryce Perkins was able

450
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 2: to find whoever has seized to wah whoever in this

451
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: game and just at a certain point he just couldn't

452
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 2: do everything. But I like the performance. I liked the season,

453
00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 2: and I liked watching my father in law Rome across

454
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 2: South Florida seeing Virginia fan after Virginia fan, after asking me,

455
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: what do Virginia fans say to each other? Like Texas

456
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 2: fans say, hook them? He would just go up to

457
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 2: strangers at tables wearing Who's gear and go up to

458
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: them and say, hey, waho wa, good luck. It felt

459
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 2: like the mayor of Virginia fandom because he likes no

460
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: having met secret in jokes, having met your father in law.

461
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, didn't he do magic tricks for people at an

462
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 1: Italian restaurant? Yeah, when we were in Chicago.

463
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely loves going up to strangers at tables and

464
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 2: just being friendly.

465
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,320
Speaker 1: Awesome, dude, Yeah, I love the guy all right. Citrus Bowl,

466
00:24:55,080 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: Alabama thirty five, Michigan sixteen. I like we knew going

467
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: into this that there were some interesting matchups to watch

468
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: and that Michigan had enough talent, I think, to offer resistance.

469
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: The question was how much and for how long? And

470
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of been the story of coaching against Nick

471
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: Saban in this one. Michigan played really well for a half.

472
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: They led by two sixteen fourteen after two quarters. Yeah,

473
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: ran well, ran well, sure, second half more of the

474
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: same from Alabama. They rip off twenty one unanswered. They

475
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: win going away. Mac Jones a really nice game three

476
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: twenty seven and three touchdowns, no picks, Najie Harris one

477
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 1: point thirty six and two touchdowns on the ground, Jerry

478
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 1: Judy virtually unstoppable, six for two h four and a

479
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 1: touchdown through the air. It's really just a matter of

480
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 1: Alabama has a machine. They've got all the talent in

481
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: the world, and it's sucks that they lost to to injury.

482
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: But the other parts don't stop working simply because he's

483
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 1: not on the field. They knew how to recalibrate the

484
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 1: game plan. Mac Jones played really well against a good defense,

485
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: and yeah, Alabama, Dan just keeps doing Alabama things. This

486
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: is very true.

487
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 2: We've talked about what it takes to beat Alabama. Even

488
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 2: a down Alabama defense, Michigan was able to find some

489
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: success on the ground, some creative play to it was.

490
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: Giles Jackson had a nice day for Michigan, sort of

491
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: an all purpose tight back. Hit a couple carries and

492
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 2: a few receptions. But you need more than shape Patterson.

493
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: You need more than you need that fearless guide connecting

494
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: with tall physical receivers, which Michigan has Donovan Peebles, Jones,

495
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: Nico Collins, Tariq Black. These are talented dudes, but this

496
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 2: Michigan offense just wasn't consistent enough from the top to

497
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 2: get it, John, and I think you were going in

498
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 2: the right direction. Mac Jones is just a good quarterback.

499
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,680
Speaker 2: I mean, he has these incredible weapons and an incredible line.

500
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: I know all the advantages he has, but he made plays.

501
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 2: He made throws and that's all you can really ask for,

502
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: and didn't throw pick. And I the Alabama war machine

503
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: is still going strong. And they opened the game up

504
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: with what an eighty five yard touchdown catch Mac Jones

505
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 2: to Jerry Judy. And you know, we talk about the

506
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: scores misleading what the actual game look like. And I

507
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 2: know Alabama pulled away late, but that's what good teams do.

508
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,400
Speaker 2: So it was what twenty one sixteen into the fourth quarter,

509
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: deeper into the fourth quarter, and Alabama rode Najie Harris

510
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 2: to shore and it worked out really well for them.

511
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 2: They got that late pick, and Alabama, in a game

512
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 2: where you would understand if they weren't fully motivated against

513
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 2: a good Michigan team, dug deep and found a way

514
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: to win at the end very comfortably.

515
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 1: It helps to have Alabama's offensive line, definitely does. But

516
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: that being said, whenever a backup comes in, I like

517
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: to look and try to figure out, like, does this

518
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: guy look comfortable? Yeah, handled pressure, does he look like

519
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: he knows what he's doing? Or is he kind of

520
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: staring at the line in front of him and acting frantic?

521
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: That was not the case here. No, he looked very comfortable,

522
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: very poised, And the numbers bear that out. Three twenty seven,

523
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, no interceptions.

524
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 2: Most importantly, Yeah, yeah, Alabama down at halftime.

525
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: But you know those those scrappy underdogs. Yeah no, Lisa,

526
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: all right, Alamo ball. Dan is Texas back? I mean,

527
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: Texas is back to being Texas. Yeah. They win some games,

528
00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:37,120
Speaker 1: they lose other games. Texas is thirty eight. Utah ten

529
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: just got furder Man. I did not see this one coming.

530
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: I can't tell if yeah, I can't tell if Texas

531
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 1: just smoked Utah, or if Utah didn't want to be there,

532
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: or if it was some combination of both. But Utah

533
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,760
Speaker 1: could not get anything going in this game. This was

534
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 1: all Texas. It was all Sam Ellinger. He threw for

535
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: three touchdowns, he ran for another. I was most impressed

536
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: watching this one back at the pressure that Texas got

537
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 1: on Tyler Huntley, Like it just it felt like they

538
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: were constantly in his face, constantly changing the rhythm of

539
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: that Utah offense, and as a result, the youths couldn't

540
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: get anything going. Sam Ellinger did his thing on offense

541
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: against a really good Utah defense. Mind, you don't know

542
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: if it was a bit of a letdown situation for

543
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: Utah being so they lost the Pac twelve game. Typically

544
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: we don't see that from Mi Kyle Whittinghampton. They're very

545
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: good in the postseason. But suffice to say a twenty

546
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: eight point win for Texas would prove otherwise.

547
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, not great in the postseason either last year against

548
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 2: Northwestern in the Holiday Bowl. But Utah had every reason

549
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: to be motivated even after losing the Pac twelve championship

550
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:56,760
Speaker 2: game the way that they did, because this is still

551
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 2: a high profile bowl game with everybody watching.

552
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,720
Speaker 1: This was New Year's Eve. I believe this is when

553
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: this went off. I think so New Year's Eve, so

554
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: everybody's watching this game. It's in it's you know, it's

555
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 1: in a dome. It's in a big dome. You got

556
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: Texas fans all over the place, Utah having an opportunity,

557
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: even with a down Texas to beat a high profile opponent.

558
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: And I think you're right. And I saw some quotes

559
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: after the game that perhaps Utah didn't take this game

560
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 2: as seriously as they should have. But I'm certainly glad

561
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 2: we didn't have to watch Utah against LSU. I'm glad

562
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: we didn't have to watch Utah against Clemsoner Ohio State

563
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: after if they don't have the ability to get up

564
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: for Texas and the Alimobile. And again, I understand the disappointment,

565
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 2: but I'm gonna channel some inner David Pollock here. Texas

566
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 2: won this game at the point of attack. Texas won

567
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: this game in the trenches. They protected Sam Ellinger well,

568
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: they opened up lanes for Keanta Ingram and Roshan Johnson,

569
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 2: and Ellinger ran well. And defensively, you're right, they swarmed

570
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: Tyler Huntley. They basically shut down Zach Moss. And Utah

571
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 2: is a pretty good program. They're not big time, and

572
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,320
Speaker 2: I think Brandon Huffman talked about this on signing Day.

573
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: They're trending in that direction in terms of the talent

574
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 2: they have. They were missing key guys in the secondary,

575
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: and Texas was able to take advantage of that. But

576
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,959
Speaker 2: Utah didn't have the depth, they didn't have the get up,

577
00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: and they didn't have the talent to hang with a

578
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: seven and five Big twelve team. And it's great to

579
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 2: kill Arizona State and Oregon State and Call and whoever.

580
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 2: But they played Oregon in USC Washington was relatively close,

581
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 2: and now losing to Texas, Utah just they have a ceiling.

582
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: They're pretty good, they're not big time. The Texas pressure

583
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 2: thing really threw me.

584
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,040
Speaker 1: This is not a team that was good at sacking

585
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback, really generating pressure all year and they did

586
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,239
Speaker 1: outstanding job. Ten points they didn't score, they didn't get

587
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: at the end. So until what the fourth quarter? Yeah yeah,

588
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,840
Speaker 1: this bally Hood and Bloodwig offense come on all right,

589
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: out back ball. Minnesota thirty one, Auburn twenty four. Dan

590
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,240
Speaker 1: Auburn fricking gets me again. They can every year. I

591
00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 1: can't figure out what to do with Auburn in the

592
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 1: bowl game. That's okay, it makes it spicy. I should

593
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: have gone Minnesota because of the motivation factor. I should

594
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: have done it. Oh, Auburn tried. They just couldn't really

595
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 1: do much Tanner Morgan nineteen of twenty nine, but twelve

596
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: of those went to the man, the myth, Tyler Johnson.

597
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 1: He shares my namesake. He's a boy in a man's body.

598
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: Twelve catches, just like you, ty just like me. Yeah,

599
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: two to four through the air, two touchdowns. He was unguardable.

600
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: Maybe the most exciting game of the day.

601
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was fun, especially with the way that Minnesota

602
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: just slowly squeezed the life out of Auburn's defense to

603
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: win this game with what an eight and a half

604
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 2: minute drive.

605
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 1: It whoa a big deal for the Minnesota program. It

606
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: can't be. It can't be overstated enough. A remarkable season

607
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: for the Gophers to win the ball game against an

608
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: SEC opponent, A big deal. PJ. Fleck seemingly hanging around

609
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:08,320
Speaker 1: another year. Yeah, trying to build something up there at Minnesota,

610
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: and it's cool. It's really cool to see.

611
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 2: As well as he should. I mean, Minnesota played a

612
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: complete game on offense, with you know, getting some bad

613
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 2: Tanner Morgan thrown into this game. Tyler Johnson's just incredible.

614
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: For as much as we'd like to drool over Rashad

615
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 2: Bateman Tyler Johnson is now an All timer for Minnesota,

616
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: and to also get it done on the ground, which

617
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 2: they weren't able to consistently do this year with Mo

618
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 2: was Abraham ran a lot better than Rodney Smith, a

619
00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 2: bigger play guy at least against a really strong Auburn defense.

620
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 2: Bow Nick struggled going downfield. They just they were not

621
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 2: able to be creative enough to overcome what Minnesota was

622
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 2: doing on defense. And the Gophers did a terrific job

623
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 2: against Auburn on the ground. So if you force bow

624
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 2: Nicks to beat you through the air, it's a tough

625
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: ask with what Auburn has creatively. And you know, maybe

626
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 2: Chad Morris will be a breath of fresh air for

627
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 2: this Auburn offense. We'll see if Anthony Schwartz. I saw

628
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:00,959
Speaker 2: some stories about him having to to side now between

629
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: track and football, and that's kind of I mean, I

630
00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 2: like Seth Williams, but that's that big play dude for Auburn.

631
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: If he's gone, I don't know what they look like.

632
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 2: So big offseason for the Tigers. But I think the

633
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 2: story here is Minnesota, the way they're able to close

634
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 2: out this game and the performance they get. I mean,

635
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 2: that catch early on from Tyler Johnson just the beast

636
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 2: sirt an absolutely beast. Eleven win Minnesota. I mean, there

637
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: is context to how they got to those eleven wins

638
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 2: and what the Big Ten look like this season. But

639
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 2: you know what, it's early January. Who cares good for

640
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: the Gophers. They beat Penn State, they beat Auburn, it did.

641
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 2: Those aren't bad wins. Lost their offensive coordinator to Penn.

642
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,800
Speaker 1: State, lost their offensive coordinator pen State because he beat Penstate,

643
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: all right, belk ball Kentucky thirty seven, Virginia Tech thirty.

644
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 1: The Lynn Bowden junior express train keeps on chugging. He

645
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: ran for two twenty three and two touchdowns on thirty

646
00:34:55,680 --> 00:35:00,080
Speaker 1: four carries, also through the game winning touchdown pass with

647
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,759
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds left, furious comeback to give the Cats the win.

648
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: This was feisty started, feisty, feisty start to this one.

649
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: Here a little bit of a scuffle pregame, but a

650
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 1: cool story, I think really on both fronts if you

651
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: try to put this in context. First and foremost, Lynn

652
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 1: Bowden Junior basically becoming the quarterback Kentucky having to reprogram

653
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: its entire offense to fit his skill set. They did

654
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: pretty well down the stretch all things considered, So all

655
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 1: do credit to him to that coaching staff. He probably

656
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,319
Speaker 1: has an NFL future, so I give him kudos for

657
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: playing in this game knowing that he was going to

658
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: take a lick you at thirty four carries. Yeah. Oh,

659
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: I think he definitely does. He's too good not to

660
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: as an athlete. Yeah, absolutely, So all do credit to

661
00:35:46,080 --> 00:35:49,640
Speaker 1: him in the Kentucky staff for reprogramming things and putting

662
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 1: together just a really positive close to the season. And

663
00:35:54,520 --> 00:35:57,839
Speaker 1: on the Virginia Tech side of things, look the way

664
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: they I think circled the wagons and got things going

665
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 1: in a good direction after a bit of a rocky

666
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: start was admirable as well. I think they found their

667
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:10,399
Speaker 1: quarterback and Hendon Hooker. Definitely there's a lot coming back

668
00:36:10,440 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: next season, and I think a lot of reason for

669
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: optimism going into the twenty twenty seasons. So didn't win,

670
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: here was a very close, very fun game, and I

671
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 1: think a lot more excitement to come in twenty twenty

672
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: for them. I hope so, because the ACC is thirsty

673
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: excitement and quality, and this year did not really give

674
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,360
Speaker 1: us all that much. Yeah, Virginia Tech You're not wrong,

675
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 1: I would say, at the very least disappointing in Bud

676
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: Foster's final game to lose to a team without an

677
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: ability to throw the ball Lynn Bowden Junior and his

678
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: game winning throw aside not great, not a great look

679
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: for Virginia Tech. Not Able to get it done themselves

680
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: through the air, though finally able to get it done

681
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: on the ground with some big play running and still

682
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: gave the game away. Was not able to get in

683
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 1: the end zone in the fourth quarter, and good for

684
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: Kentucky for taking advantage. Good for Kentucky for we'd mentioned

685
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,239
Speaker 1: this in the preview. They can be pushed around up

686
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: front in the run game, which they were at times,

687
00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 1: but they did a good job locking down Virginia Tech

688
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 1: through the air and sort of confusing Hendon Hooker into

689
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,239
Speaker 1: some bad throws. So really strong way to end the

690
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 1: season for Kentucky in a very encouraging way. The Music

691
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: City Bowl we had Louisville thirty eight Louisville, Mississippi State

692
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,959
Speaker 1: twenty eight. We already mentioned that Joemo got fired after

693
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:37,359
Speaker 1: this game, but McHale Cunningham through for two seventy nine

694
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 1: and two touchdowns. He added another eighty one on the ground,

695
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: Louisville stepped on the gas in the second half. They

696
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 1: got their eighth win of the season, which if you

697
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: would have said before the season that we'd be talking

698
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: about an eight win Louisville, that would have been a

699
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: hell of a story. That would have been a bit

700
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: of craziness preseason to say eight win Louisville, especially where

701
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: they were last year. But the way that Scott Saderfield

702
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: has come in and made such a dramatic and immediate

703
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 1: impact on this program is not to be understated. Louisville

704
00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: could be back in whatever Louisville context that is before long.

705
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,160
Speaker 1: Very exciting to see them win this Bowl game.

706
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I feel about Michael Cunney, Man Cunningham,

707
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 2: he's full on good Mississippi State after going up fourteen

708
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: nothing to give up what they did into the fourth

709
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,760
Speaker 2: quarter of thirty one straight, it's it's just a rough watch.

710
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: If you're I'm sure a Mississippi State fan. We saw

711
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 2: Louisville get pushed around by Kentucky on the ground and

712
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 2: the Bulldogs really not get much going from I know.

713
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 2: Kylon Hill was hurt, he tried and he was within

714
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 2: reach of a record, but you know, Klangan not being

715
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: able to run it at all against this Louisville defense, which.

716
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 1: Is not good. This is not a good Cardinal defense.

717
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 1: I think eventually it should be, but this is you

718
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 1: should be able to score more, and you know, good for.

719
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 2: The Cardinals taking advantage of state mistakes and turnovers and

720
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 2: everything like that, and finish the season. You know, it's

721
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 2: a seven and five year with a Bowl win. That's

722
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 2: how I tend to view these things. But it's not

723
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,319
Speaker 2: unique to Louisville. I think there is, at least going

724
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 2: into the early offseason in spring ball, every reason to.

725
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: Be pretty excited if you're a Louisville fan. Agree, one

726
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: hundred percent. Nice win for Louisville thirty eight, twenty eight

727
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:25,239
Speaker 1: again in the Music City Bowl. Dane, Let's let's talk

728
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: about the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl now if we could. Yeah,

729
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: it's time as I prepare for this recap and I'm

730
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: not making this up, swear to God. Okay, it's a

731
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 1: windy day here in eastern Pennsylvania. There is a giant

732
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: barrel of garbage blowing across my backyard. Oh ty, if

733
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 1: that's not a metaphor for this game. I don't know

734
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:52,800
Speaker 1: what the hell is Arizona State twenty, Florida State fourteen.

735
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: Eight total turnovers in this football game. That includes six

736
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 1: by Florida State. So if you got the cold sweats

737
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: thinking back to the two thousand and eight Sun Bowl,

738
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 1: you weren't alone three to nothing after one quarter, nine

739
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 1: to nothing at half in favor of ASU. The Knowles,

740
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 1: to their credit, came back. They made it fourteen to

741
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 1: nine after three quarters, but then they gave up a

742
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: field goal. They threw a pick six early in the

743
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, and that's what did him in. Did not

744
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: a not a particularly fun Sun Bowl to watch. Sometimes

745
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: it's really good when the most extreme weirdo in your

746
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: life finds another extreme weirdo to start a life with

747
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,440
Speaker 1: and get married or whatever. It was nice to have

748
00:40:39,480 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 1: these two offensive lines and in case we made offenses

749
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: quarantined in the same place during bowl season. This was ugly.

750
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, what ASU doesn't score, doesn't get into the end

751
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 2: zone until the very end of the game. Yeah, what

752
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,879
Speaker 2: ten minutes left in the fourth quarter and still looked

753
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 2: like the clear better team with what James Blackman was

754
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 2: throwing up out into the universe and the offensive line

755
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,319
Speaker 2: play in this game. I guess good forray sUAS you

756
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,080
Speaker 2: finished with a strong recruiting class. There's reason for optimism

757
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 2: with Florida State moving forward and the Mike norvel Era

758
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 2: and what they've been able to do recruiting, and you

759
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 2: know what their offense should look like and what they

760
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 2: return on defense. But good that we could get these

761
00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 2: two teams together to have their little party in l

762
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,799
Speaker 2: Paso and just move forward.

763
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: Move forward, all right? Gator Ball Tennessee twenty three, Indiana

764
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: twenty two. Weird game here? Weird close to this game definitely,

765
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: Let's say, because Tennessee scored twice within thirty seconds late

766
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, they were down twenty two to nine.

767
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,480
Speaker 1: They steal this one off the back of a truck

768
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,720
Speaker 1: and win by a twenty three to twenty two score.

769
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 2: Tennessee got, you know, bad, Jarrett Garantano. At the start,

770
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 2: they had opportunities and you just couldn't connect. I thought

771
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 2: to a takeaway for Tennessee is how excited people should

772
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 2: be for Eric Gray, who looked sensational on the ground,

773
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 2: like a new era of Tennessee offense. We'll see if

774
00:42:09,480 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 2: Guarantano can develop or if Tennessee goes after somebody in

775
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 2: the transfer portal of this offseason. Who knows what happens there,

776
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 2: But yeah, I thought. Also the story was Tennessee's defense

777
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 2: doing a good enough job against a strong Indiana offense,

778
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 2: losing their offensive coordinator and Kaylin de Borr back to

779
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:28,759
Speaker 2: Fresno State. They did a good job against Indiana on

780
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:30,560
Speaker 2: the ground, they did a good job against IU in

781
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:35,240
Speaker 2: the air, through the air, whatever, and still needed everything

782
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 2: in the world to come back in this game. So yeah,

783
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 2: weird game, fun game, strange ending, and good for the

784
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 2: balls who have the pieces. If they can get good

785
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:53,759
Speaker 2: quarterback play wherever, they should improve upon well, they seven

786
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,359
Speaker 2: and five season via the tennisance at the end, they

787
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: should get to eight or nine wins next year, presumably.

788
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 2: Jeremy Prowett, I'm I have a healthy amount of optimism,

789
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 2: not a crazy amount, a healthy amount.

790
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 1: The Red Box Bowl. I really hate that I can't

791
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: make this joke about Oregon. Yeah, where's my Rose Bowl

792
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:19,520
Speaker 1: Championship hat? Todd cal riving thirty five Illinois twenty four

793
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 1: touchdown passes for Chase Garber's makes you wonder about Cal's season,

794
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,479
Speaker 1: what it would have looked like, if Chase Garber's didn't

795
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 1: get hurt, I think it would have taken on a

796
00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 1: much different feel. But yeah, a good story for Illinois

797
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 1: to get to this game. I think we both like

798
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 1: Cal a great deal going into it. Not gonna lie

799
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,959
Speaker 1: and say I watched a whole lot of this game,

800
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 1: but my main takeaway is nice win for Cal, nice

801
00:43:46,239 --> 00:43:48,960
Speaker 1: cap on the season, and really a story of what

802
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,080
Speaker 1: could have been if their quarterback did not get hurt.

803
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: If their quarterback doesn't get hurt, they beat ASU, they

804
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:58,640
Speaker 1: probably beat Oregon, and they definitely beat Oregon State. They

805
00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: lose to Utah, they lose to SAE because they lost

806
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: both of those games demonstrably well. Who knows where they

807
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: end up bowl wise, But yes, Cal has and had

808
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: a competent offense, if not a pretty good offense, balanced

809
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: offense with Chase Garber's and what Chris Brown in the

810
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,840
Speaker 1: backfield when everybody was healthy there. And it's a bummer,

811
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 1: but you can get Illinois in the Red Box Bowl

812
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: and beat up Illinois down a number of players on

813
00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. But this wasn't an ALLIONI

814
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 1: team who was putting a ton of points on teams

815
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: or completely shutting them down. It was a nice improved

816
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: story for the Allion I and Cal does a great

817
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: job on defense. I said, Haven Weaver set some records

818
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 1: and it was expected, I guess would be what I

819
00:44:41,480 --> 00:44:44,319
Speaker 1: would say. Cal scoring thirty five is new. That's sort

820
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: of a new sensation to me.

821
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 2: But I don't think Illinois could expect much given you

822
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 2: know who they are and who they were missing. So

823
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 2: good for Cal, good for Illinois. Hey, sometimes it's just

824
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 2: a good story.

825
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 1: In the Liberty Bowl, we had Navy twenty to seventeen

826
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: over k State. Fun weird game. Yeah, one weird game,

827
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: very weird game. We had Cincinnati all over Boston College.

828
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:09,120
Speaker 1: We all saw this one coming a mile away. But

829
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 1: thirty eight to six. In the Birmingham Bowl. Cincinnati wins

830
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 1: Western Kentucky by three over Western Michigan, twenty three to

831
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: twenty in the First Responder Bowl, and Wyoming by twenty one,

832
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 1: thirty eight to seventeen over Georgia State in the oft

833
00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: forgotten Arizona Bowl.

834
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, well let's start there. Xavion Valaday. They built the

835
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 2: whole thing out of him for Wyoming. He's sensational both

836
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 2: through the air, big play dude, and on the ground

837
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:40,760
Speaker 2: goes for over two hundred yards.

838
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 1: Wyoming.

839
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 2: I think we both liked Wyoming in this one. In

840
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 2: the Nova Home Loans. That's right, Arizona Bowl. You mentioned

841
00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 2: what Western Michigan Western Kentucky as good a game as

842
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,680
Speaker 2: the Hilltoppers had on offense. The job they did in

843
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 2: coming back and winning against Levonte Bellamy and this Western offense.

844
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 2: Western Michigan offense I thought was pretty admirable. Kansas State

845
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:06,439
Speaker 2: did a whole lot of bending but actually didn't break

846
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 2: too often against a Navy team that ran all over them.

847
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 2: But Navy with that late suffocating drive that ends as

848
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 2: the clock hit zero field goal, nice win for them.

849
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 2: They have some missed opportunities very early on. Skyler Thompson

850
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:23,360
Speaker 2: really struggled against this Navy defense and Kansas State really

851
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 2: struggled between I guess the twenties against this Navy offense.

852
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 2: So eleven wins for Navy after a pretty down twenty

853
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 2: eighteen I color me impressed, high? Yeah, color me impressed.

854
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: Sure. The final game you mentioned was what Cincinnati and

855
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: Boston College.

856
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:40,439
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Boston College, Yeah BC, didn't I mean AJ Dillon

857
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,919
Speaker 2: sitting out, they lose, they fire their coach they're without

858
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 2: their coordinator. It's just not going to happen for BC.

859
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 2: But Cincinnati a relatively easy way to get to what

860
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 2: they finished with eleven wins, wins, only losing to a

861
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:54,760
Speaker 2: playoff team in a new Year six team in Ohio

862
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 2: State and Memphis. A nice complete win for Cincinnati as

863
00:46:58,280 --> 00:46:59,880
Speaker 2: they head into next year with a lot of promise

864
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 2: young talent. I don't think you mentioned Ohio Nevada, Ohio.

865
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,040
Speaker 2: I guess Weather's a late comeback effort, but they jump

866
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 2: out to a pretty big lead here. I think they

867
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,480
Speaker 2: were up thirty to nine going into the fourth quarter.

868
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 2: And the end of Nathan Rourke's career ends with a win,

869
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 2: and the end of Frank Solich and Nathan Rourke's time

870
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:24,320
Speaker 2: together ends with Frank Solich being doused in French fries.

871
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, right in the famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Dulane

872
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:34,280
Speaker 2: Monster third quarter after a sluggish first half, comfortably beating

873
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:37,520
Speaker 2: Southern Miss And as of recording, I think that those

874
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:38,320
Speaker 2: are all the games.

875
00:47:38,480 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: Those are all the games. We've got two left. We've

876
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: got the Lending Tree Bowl Louisiana against Miami Ohio. Again.

877
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: We talked about that one before Louisiana a pretty big favorite.

878
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: We'll have to wait and see if Billy Napier has

879
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 1: ties to that Mississippi State job. And then there's the

880
00:47:55,880 --> 00:48:00,839
Speaker 1: big Tamali. Yeah. Next Monday, January the thirteenth, it is

881
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:03,479
Speaker 1: number one LSU at fourteen and oh it is number

882
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: three Clemson also at fourteen and oh they're playing the

883
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 1: championship game in New Orleans, so a bit of a

884
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: home crowd for LSU, I'd say so in the Superdome.

885
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,200
Speaker 1: Currently they are a five and a half point favorite

886
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,880
Speaker 1: over Clemson over under about sixty nine and one half.

887
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: Here is our plan. We're going to preview this game

888
00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 1: about midweek or so. We can't do it yet because

889
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 1: all the fun little props that we like to include

890
00:48:30,480 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 1: as part of the coverage they're not out yet. Okay,

891
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 1: so we got to give it a few days, let

892
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 1: the bookmakers do their things so we can have fun

893
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 1: with it. Hopefully midweek or so, sure, talk turkey. And

894
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 1: then after that you and I will convene next Monday

895
00:48:45,719 --> 00:48:48,440
Speaker 1: night to watch the game and Tuesday morning, bright and

896
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: early to recap the National Championship.

897
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: All right, I'm ready, I mean, maybe this will be

898
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 2: our penultimate Tues Cruise, depending on when we record it.

899
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,880
Speaker 2: Maybe we'll structure the National Championship preview the way we

900
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:03,239
Speaker 2: structured twos cruise. We could do that with various activities.

901
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 1: We could do that. You're out how we feel. It's

902
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,600
Speaker 1: like a real cruise ship when you've got different activities

903
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,120
Speaker 1: you can do, like the flow Rider pool that.

904
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,160
Speaker 2: We'll do a midnight pizza buffet, we'll have it all.

905
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 2: We'll recap the National Championship either late Monday night or

906
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 2: probably early Tuesday and get that out pretty quickly. And

907
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 2: otherwise we just sail into the off season with an

908
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,720

917

Speaker 2: have a good Christmas? Good New Year's stay up until

918
00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 2: the ball dropping.

919
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:00,200
Speaker 1: I did make it up until the ball TI up,

920
00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: Yeah you did. I did I stayed away? Oh my god, looking,

921
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: I know, upset of the century?

922
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:09,960
Speaker 2: It was it specifically because you wanted to watch Times

923
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:11,839
Speaker 2: Square and just ring in the new year, or were

924
00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 2: you just like deep in a Wikipedia black hole learning

925
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,520
Speaker 2: about some spy plane from nineteen seventy three.

926
00:50:17,719 --> 00:50:19,239
