<v Speaker 1>Daniel Happy New Year, Happy twenty twenty. How are you?

0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:35.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm great, and I'm especially good.

0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Knowing that you open the show without making some sort

0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.760
<v Speaker 2>of twenty twenty vision crack really makes me happy.

0:00:41.440 --> 0:00:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Because I'm not even that corny that feels like it's

0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.920
<v Speaker 1>going to be late April early May twenty twenty vision.

0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's make predictions way too early kind of show. But

0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:57.680
<v Speaker 1>we could do a very very cheesy Hindsight's twenty twenty.

0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Prediction show, or like that is we capture Oh yeah,

0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I mean we're recapping our predictions in the Hindsight twenty

0:01:04.200 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 2>twenty of our preseason predictions. But we have gotten ahead

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 2>of ourselves. It is the new year, which means we

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 2>have a lot of news. We have a lot of

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 2>draft stuff, we have a lot of bowl games to recap.

0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 2>We are going to be previewing the national championship game

0:01:19.120 --> 0:01:22.080
<v Speaker 2>on our next episode. Our following episode, we're going to

0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 2>deep dive into what's LSU Clemson. That's who see Clemson.

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.320
<v Speaker 1>They are playing for the College Football Playoff national championship

0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:32.000
<v Speaker 1>on January thirteenth, which I will be watching with you

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.920
<v Speaker 1>live for that, And as we alluded to on the

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:39.600
<v Speaker 1>previous show, we're going to be doing one of our

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.760
<v Speaker 1>only in person shows to recap that national championship. It

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:48.080
<v Speaker 1>hardly ever happens. So we're excited about next week. Hopefully

0:01:48.120 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>if you're listening to us now, I know you are,

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>but hopefully you're as excited as we are for this

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>championship game.

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it should be a terrific championship game. We've had

0:01:56.600 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 2>some terrific bowl games that have transpired since we recorded

0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 2>that we need to talk in depth about. I didn't

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 2>watch a lot of these as they were happening, and

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>I went back and rewatched everything I missed because I

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:14.960
<v Speaker 2>was away, I was on vacation. I was going to

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 2>sleep early because I am an old but I am

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.160
<v Speaker 2>fully caught up and boy died Ty did I say, die,

0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:22.440
<v Speaker 2>YEAHI do.

0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I have thoughts. Oh, I have thoughts as well, before

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:32.799
<v Speaker 1>we before we tackle all those bowl games. Yeah, I'm

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>not going to go crazy with raising the register and

0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>saying breaking news or anything crazy like that. Boo boo boop.

0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:41.920
<v Speaker 1>But a couple odds and ends that we need to

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:48.359
<v Speaker 1>discuss first and foremost. Yeah. A Bull Confidence Pool update, Dan, Oh,

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:53.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm ready. As you know. This year participants over thirteen

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred of them. A great turnout in the solid verbal

0:02:56.200 --> 0:03:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Bull Confidence Pool. They're competing for three one of three

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:05.280
<v Speaker 1>gift cards from our friends over at Roeback. Correct, We've

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>got a pretty tight race at the top. Is that true?

0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>It is true. I'm looking at it right now. I've

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>sort of done the math and by my calculations, an

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 1>entry by the name of Keith Richards eighty six. Don't

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>know if it is the Keith Richards. Let's assume yes,

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>he's got thirty seven potential points remaining if he can

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 1>close it out. If he gets all thirty seven of those,

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.440
<v Speaker 1>he will be the victor. The one pick that I

0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.520
<v Speaker 1>am looking at, though, the one entry I'm looking at

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>is one. I guess it's number six. Let down look

0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:45.160
<v Speaker 1>ahead Sandwich use their name z Seally. Yeah, seventy one

0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 1>points remaining potential points remaining. He can't dethrone Keith Richards

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 1>if both of them get their two remaining picks correct,

0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:56.880
<v Speaker 1>but he can leapfrog some of the other ones.

0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm jumping seventy three. Oh my gosh, maybe we have

0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 2>some controversial system within the ESPN's Bowl mania seventy three

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:04.760
<v Speaker 2>points remaining.

0:04:04.760 --> 0:04:06.320
<v Speaker 1>But oh okay, I got it wrong. Great.

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>I like the takeover. I like the takeover potential of

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 2>Zee Seally. If everything works out. Where are you ty?

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.520
<v Speaker 2>What percentile? How many points do you have?

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.640
<v Speaker 1>I entry? Yeah? So for me, let me pull up

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>my entry here. I am currently in the seventy sixth

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.719
<v Speaker 1>percent tile and I have five hundred and eighty four points.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm in the eighty seven point six percent tile with

0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 2>six hundred and five points. I have forty eight points

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>remaining potentially.

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how many I have left, but suffice

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:37.240
<v Speaker 1>to say, you're probably gonna be me.

0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 2>If you look at the standings, it'll tell you with

0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 2>your entry a top, it'll tell you how many PPR

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 2>you have.

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh there it is thirty four thirty four left. So

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm in a pretty good position to take you down. Okay,

0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.320
<v Speaker 1>well that's fine, Yeah, it's all in good fun. What

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 1>other news do we have? A former solid verbal guest,

0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>Joe Morehead has been relieved. Oh were you surprised by this?

0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I was. Yeah.

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 2>As somebody who lives very far away from Starkfille, Mississippi,

0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 2>who does not have his finger on the pulse of

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 2>Klanga Klanga, I assumed he would get at least another year.

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:17.000
<v Speaker 2>And I understand the frustration among Bulldog fans with you know,

0:05:17.360 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 2>being out coached in certain scenarios and looking out classed

0:05:20.080 --> 0:05:23.680
<v Speaker 2>in certain scenarios, with inheriting, especially what he did on defense.

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 2>And I know they lost a couple of key cogs

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 2>from the twenty eighteen defense. But I was under the

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 2>assumption that in making that higher that he would be

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 2>given more time to see what he could do with

0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 2>his own recruits on either side of the ball and

0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 2>with his staff, and you know, improving as a coach. Obviously,

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:42.720
<v Speaker 2>there were a number of factors. Maybe there was a

0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 2>personality fit issue among other things. And you know, we

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 2>saw Mississippi State what they give up a what a.

0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Thirty one point run to Louisville after going up fourteen. Nothing.

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Not that bowl games should be be.

0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.359
<v Speaker 2>All and all, but they're certainly a platform for people

0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 2>to take in your school and your team's ability. And

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>that was not a great showing for Mississippi State. And

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.039
<v Speaker 2>as we as we move forward, I suppose Missisippi State

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.520
<v Speaker 2>is going to need to find somebody that they believe

0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 2>to be a better fit. They believe to be somebody

0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:17.160
<v Speaker 2>who can prepare a team better than Mississippi State looked

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 2>at times this season. I don't know who that is,

0:06:19.600 --> 0:06:23.760
<v Speaker 2>but if you fire somebody after two years, you should

0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.719
<v Speaker 2>probably do it in December to maximize your ability to

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.880
<v Speaker 2>get the best possible candidate for your school and really

0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.600
<v Speaker 2>have a plan in place. Yeah, because if the situation

0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 2>is so dire that Joe Morehead just cannot be the

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 2>guy in Starkville, fine, okay, but they haven't hired anybody yet.

0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Now it will quick turnaround. And the names that have

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.720
<v Speaker 2>been thrown around, and I'm sure you're going to get

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:47.560
<v Speaker 2>to this, yeah, after I finished speaking. The names have

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:51.039
<v Speaker 2>been thrown around are not like, oh well, yeah, you

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.320
<v Speaker 2>have to get rid of Morehead to get that guy. Well,

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 2>that's it. It's always the question of who's next. If

0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>you're going to make a move to your point, what

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 2>is the plan to move forward? I see a lot

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 2>of names here that don't excite me. I see gene Chiswick,

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 2>who's currently an SEC network analyst, as a potential Billy Napier.

0:07:13.760 --> 0:07:15.960
<v Speaker 2>His team is going to play I guess on the sixth,

0:07:16.240 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 2>So tomorrow we're recording this on this.

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe there have been back channel chats and that's a

0:07:21.360 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>done deal. Billy Napier would be. It would be a

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>nice hire. Had a great season at Louisiana. I see

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.720
<v Speaker 1>here this is a Clarion Ledger article. I see LSU

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 1>defensive coordinator dave A. Randa. I don't think that's gonna happen.

0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I guess it could, but LSU will pay him handsomely.

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure to keep him on the staff. So a

0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 1>lot remaining to be seen on this front. It did

0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>catch me a little bit off guard as well. You

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>would expect, like you said, that maybe they would maximize

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.200
<v Speaker 1>their window to search for a new coach by doing it.

0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's what Joe Judge.

0:07:52.160 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 2>I saw Bruce Feldman tweet out, Yeah, potential candidate the

0:07:55.440 --> 0:07:56.720
<v Speaker 2>New England Patriots.

0:07:56.680 --> 0:08:00.960
<v Speaker 1>Patriot, but he's interviewing now over he's interviewing for pro

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>jobs as well. So a lot to B C. Jeff Monkin,

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Willie Fritz, Blake Anderson, Mike Leach saw his name, so

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.239
<v Speaker 1>we'll see, I don't know, kind of caught me by surprise.

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Any other any other coaching hires or declarations or non

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>declarations that we want to get to here, well, the

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:19.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean saw JK.

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 2>Dobbins, Jonathan Taylor tailback, Donovan Peoples, Jones, Jerry Judy, Chase Young,

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.280
<v Speaker 2>some some pretty significant names. We've had a couple guys

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.760
<v Speaker 2>say that they're coming back to school, highlighted by I

0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 2>think you know, Dylan Moses at Alabama, a big returning

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 2>walker Little to Stanford, a really good offensive lineman. Uh,

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 2>Pat Fryarmuth will be back at Penn State, your guy, yep,

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.640
<v Speaker 2>my boy? I think what Liam Eichenberg back to Notre Dame. Okay,

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 2>rakeem Boyd at Arkansas who put up some numbers of

0:08:47.679 --> 0:08:48.000
<v Speaker 2>this year.

0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.880
<v Speaker 1>He was good. Alex Leatherwood, keykog on Alabama's offensive line, though.

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.720
<v Speaker 2>I believe they lose a guard to the to the draft.

0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 2>I saw Savon achmed it declared the walk Shington running

0:09:00.720 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 2>back Elijah Moulden from Washington decided to come back. I'm

0:09:06.080 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 2>trying to think if there were any other giant, giant

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.960
<v Speaker 2>names that have decided to come back. But yeah, this

0:09:13.080 --> 0:09:15.439
<v Speaker 2>is still a fluid thing. We don't know Tua that

0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 2>there's nothing official there. Jake fromm I haven't seen anything yet.

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:20.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you have. Marvin Wilson decided to

0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.320
<v Speaker 2>stay and return to Florida State to be a part

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 2>of the Mike Norvel era. Some transfers all over the

0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.319
<v Speaker 2>place that we can get to probably in another show.

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:35.679
<v Speaker 2>Sure off season wise, but good quarterbacks out there by

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.600
<v Speaker 2>the way. Jamie Newman, Yeah, Jae, where's our transfer portal?

0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:41.760
<v Speaker 1>Son? Jamie Newman going to the portal? Yeah.

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 2>kJ Costello is still out there. Felipe Franks, I saw that,

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 2>you know that. I think it was Dan Mullen recommended

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 2>he go to Washington State and get developed by Mike Leech.

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:55.520
<v Speaker 2>Anthony Brown, Jet Duffy still out there. So some interesting

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 2>names that we'll pay attention to as we sort things out.

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I guess in the coming weeks once people start landing everywhere.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 2>I saw Florida with a couple of big transfer recipients.

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 2>Lingard from Miami, a former five star running back. So yeah,

0:10:09.160 --> 0:10:11.280
<v Speaker 2>a lot to sort out. Sean Wade is returning to

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:14.240
<v Speaker 2>a house state. You'll remember him, yep, from you know,

0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>being ejected for targeting, but also a very good corner

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:20.480
<v Speaker 2>for the buck Eyes. So that's a key returning piece

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:21.920
<v Speaker 2>for the buck Eyes.

0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 1>The only other thing that I want to point out

0:10:24.120 --> 0:10:27.000
<v Speaker 1>here is, and I'm sure we'll get to this and

0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>talk more about it when we get to the Sugar Bowl,

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:33.560
<v Speaker 1>but Matt Rule. Matt Rule has long been rumored for

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 1>an NFL job. You'll remember the Colts opening like a

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>year or two ago, after his first season at Baylor,

0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>there were rumors that Colts were interested in talking to

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Matt Rule. It seems like the smoke around Matt Rule

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.600
<v Speaker 1>to the NFL is not going away anytime soon. He

0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:53.479
<v Speaker 1>has two interviews set up this week, one with the Panthers,

0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.000
<v Speaker 1>one with my New York Giants. Yep. I wouldn't hate

0:10:57.040 --> 0:10:59.319
<v Speaker 1>the move, Dan would be very excited if they got

0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Matt Rule. Would feel very sorry for our friends down

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.120
<v Speaker 1>at Baylor to lose a coach of his caliber. But

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.680
<v Speaker 1>now that Matt Rules season is complete. He is testing

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the NFL waters and just something to keep your eye on. Yeah.

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I suppose Lincoln Riley's name is going to come up

0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot for the Cowboys. Yeah.

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:19.280
<v Speaker 2>It perhaps has taken a hit with Oklahoma's performance in

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:21.560
<v Speaker 2>the College Football Playoff. I guess a couple other guys

0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 2>you're connected to, YGM declared a while ago?

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:25.560
<v Speaker 1>Is it?

0:11:25.600 --> 0:11:29.040
<v Speaker 2>ALOI Gilman? I always forget his first name. Helo he

0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.000
<v Speaker 2>HELLOHI Gilman?

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah he is.

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:35.520
<v Speaker 2>kJ Hamler declared, yep, Yeah, that's a that's significant, especially

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.880
<v Speaker 2>since what Justin Schorter announced his intention to transfer.

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, also kind of stinks. Yep. Well, let's I see

0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 1>you see the reclamation project that can happen with Juwan

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:52.319
<v Speaker 1>Johnson's This is a perfect segue into our Rose recap.

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.920
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, all right, Well, why don't we take it

0:11:55.920 --> 0:12:00.280
<v Speaker 1>from there. Okay, let's talk about the Rose bull. Let's

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:04.040
<v Speaker 1>start there. Okay, granddaddy of them all. It was Oregon,

0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.720
<v Speaker 1>it was Wisconsin. It was Oregon twenty eight, Wisconsin twenty seven.

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:12.480
<v Speaker 1>This was a close game, Dan, very close game. Would

0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:15.560
<v Speaker 1>you call it an exciting game? Sure?

0:12:16.120 --> 0:12:19.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, even though there was a lot to be desired

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 2>in terms of disciplined football and offensive consistency and passing

0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 2>games and general slop. The actual outcome seemed to be

0:12:28.120 --> 0:12:30.439
<v Speaker 2>in doubt as the game went back and forth and

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:35.520
<v Speaker 2>needed a very late what an exclamation point with that

0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 2>Juwan Johnson's screen pass to win it for Oregon.

0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I couldn't. It was in doubt. It was exciting

0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:42.959
<v Speaker 1>and just a very strange way. A strange way is

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:44.920
<v Speaker 1>a good way to put it. I had a hard

0:12:45.000 --> 0:12:50.559
<v Speaker 1>time summarizing my feelings on this game because I couldn't

0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:54.720
<v Speaker 1>figure out if it was exciting because it was close,

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>or just not exciting at all, or maybe exciting because

0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:02.080
<v Speaker 1>of the circumstances, or I was watching like I didn't

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:02.880
<v Speaker 1>know how to feel about.

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 2>I think that's what it was. It was exciting because it's,

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, the Rose Bowl winding down.

0:13:06.400 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>It's because of the circumstances, right, not because of the offense.

0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.000
<v Speaker 1>And of course there were some defensive plays here. As

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:16.520
<v Speaker 1>you said, this was an ugly offensive game. Five total turnovers,

0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of defense. We had some special teams. Oregon

0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:23.800
<v Speaker 1>one with just two hundred and four yards of offense

0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:30.120
<v Speaker 1>thanks to four Badger turnovers, three rushing touchdowns for Justin

0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Herbert and they had that cool one handed scoop and score.

0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I love that when they do that one handed scoop

0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and score from Brady Breeze. Potential All Hair team in

0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty, which we can get to a little bit later.

0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:47.600
<v Speaker 1>As the Oregon fan, clearly you've seen Oregon in close

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>game situations. Yeah, throughout the course of this season. Some

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 1>have gone better than others, but this was another one.

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.720
<v Speaker 1>This is on the biggest stage. It clearly meant a

0:13:56.720 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 1>lot to a guy like Justin Herbert in his senior season.

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.400
<v Speaker 1>What are your thoughts in this game and how it shook.

0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 2>Out Oregon's defense and special teams not even really special

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.679
<v Speaker 2>teams even though with that the punt return because they

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.040
<v Speaker 2>gave up or wasn't a punt return, it was a

0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 2>scoop and score, miss botched punt snap, organ gave up

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 2>a special team's touchdown. Wisconsin didn't get into the end zone.

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:21.520
<v Speaker 2>The Wisconsin offense didn't get into the en zone until

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:24.720
<v Speaker 2>right before the half. Oregon's defense did a very good

0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:29.240
<v Speaker 2>job against Jonathan Taylor tailback on the ground. Wisconsin needed

0:14:29.280 --> 0:14:31.600
<v Speaker 2>a number of fourth down conversions to keep drives alive,

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 2>which is fine.

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>They got him.

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:37.040
<v Speaker 2>That big one on the Jonathan Taylor swing pass was enormous.

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Wisconsin has a ceiling, and that's what we've seen, and

0:14:40.160 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 2>I know they've lost four straight Rose Bulls. Oregon winning

0:14:43.160 --> 0:14:45.440
<v Speaker 2>this game the way they did, I think our pal

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Bill Connelly ESPN had Oregon's offense with a zero percent

0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:52.440
<v Speaker 2>success rate in the third quarter, partially due to the

0:14:52.440 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 2>fact that they scored the way they did on that

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:56.840
<v Speaker 2>scoop and score. But when the offense was on the

0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.520
<v Speaker 2>field after that opening drive, which when I think seventy

0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.320
<v Speaker 2>five yard it's for a touchdown. The combination of Oregon's

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:07.600
<v Speaker 2>own predictable and lack of execution, as well as Wisconsin's

0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 2>defense in concert created a pretty terrible situation for Oregon's offense,

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 2>and they couldn't really get the ball going on the ground,

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 2>and yet they remained stubborn in the pistol and trying

0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.760
<v Speaker 2>to go up the gut. As we saw Wisconsin when

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:21.680
<v Speaker 2>they struggled to get things going on the ground up

0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:23.680
<v Speaker 2>the middle, up the gut, they went to that the

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.160
<v Speaker 2>fly sweep action, which seemed to be really working and

0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 2>jumpstarting the Wisconsin offense. So it was a tale of

0:15:29.920 --> 0:15:34.400
<v Speaker 2>Wisconsin being sloppy penalty wise and obviously turnover wise, Oregon

0:15:34.520 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 2>taking advantage like a good defense and could team I

0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:39.920
<v Speaker 2>suppose would, and a nice play call at the end

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 2>to Juwan Johnson to seal things. Obviously controversy with the

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 2>offensive pass interference with being called on Wisconsin near the

0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:51.200
<v Speaker 2>end of the game. It seemed to be the right call,

0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 2>but I it was also very bang bang. Also Wisconsin

0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.640
<v Speaker 2>interfered on that long pass that was called fro defensive

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:01.680
<v Speaker 2>pass interference on or so. I don't know what cancels

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:04.640
<v Speaker 2>what out, but Wisconsin certainly had all of the opportunity

0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:08.000
<v Speaker 2>in this game to put it away and came up short.

0:16:08.360 --> 0:16:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I want to give credit to Chris Fowler if I

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.000
<v Speaker 1>could for a second here, if we could all just

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:19.600
<v Speaker 1>take a knee. He worked so hard, so hard to

0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:24.000
<v Speaker 1>make this game feel and sound more exciting than it was.

0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:27.320
<v Speaker 1>That's his job. It is his job, and he did

0:16:27.360 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 1>a masterful job of it. Aside of the fact that

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 1>it's the Rose Bowl and there's a beautiful setting as

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>they pan the southern California sunset, he worked so hard

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 1>to make it sound exciting. I loved his quote on

0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Jack Cone did you hear this. Did you hear what

0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:46.760
<v Speaker 1>he said? For Jack Cone? I have this Zach quote,

0:16:46.760 --> 0:16:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I pulled it out. Yeah. Quote not flashy, but certainly

0:16:50.640 --> 0:16:54.920
<v Speaker 1>more than a game manager. If that's not is that

0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:56.400
<v Speaker 1>a compliment? What is that?

0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:02.120
<v Speaker 2>What's the bar for a game manager? Then to Chris Fowl, Wisconsin,

0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.959
<v Speaker 2>all of it's good this year when they were really

0:17:05.000 --> 0:17:08.000
<v Speaker 2>on it was Jack Cone taking advantage of a great

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:12.359
<v Speaker 2>rushing attack and quintet cephas being legitimately the only downfield

0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 2>threat that Wisconsin has on the Russ.

0:17:14.040 --> 0:17:19.600
<v Speaker 1>No, but yeah, it was. I feel for Wisconsin fans

0:17:19.640 --> 0:17:23.240
<v Speaker 1>because that offense if Jonathan Taylor is not busting things out,

0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:25.359
<v Speaker 1>and it was not an explosive offense even with him,

0:17:25.400 --> 0:17:28.320
<v Speaker 1>it was much more efficient than explosive. Was not a

0:17:28.320 --> 0:17:31.199
<v Speaker 1>fun watch. It was not a fun watch. And you know,

0:17:31.240 --> 0:17:35.199
<v Speaker 1>Oregon did a good job harassing a lot of Wisconsin

0:17:35.200 --> 0:17:36.679
<v Speaker 1>and what they were trying to do on offense and

0:17:36.800 --> 0:17:39.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, swarming to the ball and forcing turnovers, but

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:42.639
<v Speaker 1>not in terms of offensive football and TV. This was

0:17:42.760 --> 0:17:45.640
<v Speaker 1>not a remarkable watch. Fair to say, fair to say,

0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>I love Chris Fowler.

0:17:46.600 --> 0:17:51.160
<v Speaker 2>Good Oregon in the hunt for a new offensive coordinator,

0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:55.480
<v Speaker 2>which hopefully can take things in a more consistent, explosive,

0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:57.119
<v Speaker 2>creative direction.

0:17:57.240 --> 0:18:01.639
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Joe Morehead, who knows Okay would hate but sugar ball.

0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Georgia twenty six the Baylor Bears fourteen. A monster game

0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:12.240
<v Speaker 1>here for freshman wide receiver George Pickens for Georgia. He

0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:14.760
<v Speaker 1>was the player of the game because he had twelve

0:18:14.840 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 1>grabs for one hundred and seventy five yards and a touchdown,

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:22.240
<v Speaker 1>So big game for him. Also nice game for Zamir

0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.520
<v Speaker 1>White who had ninety two yards and a score on

0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:28.080
<v Speaker 1>the ground and Jake From doing more. Jake from things

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:31.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty to thirty, two hundred and fifty yards passing two

0:18:31.240 --> 0:18:35.639
<v Speaker 1>touchdowns again no interceptions, had some really nice throws in

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.760
<v Speaker 1>this game, really nice dimes that he was just dropping

0:18:38.840 --> 0:18:43.119
<v Speaker 1>in on two of those touchdown passes. And outside of that,

0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:47.679
<v Speaker 1>a really efficient performance by the Georgia offense. Baylor's offense

0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.679
<v Speaker 1>held mostly in check. Georgia took away the run almost entirely,

0:18:51.720 --> 0:18:54.439
<v Speaker 1>something like two point two yards per carry for the

0:18:54.480 --> 0:18:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Bears offense. They put a lot of the pressure on

0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Charlie Brewer and as a result, the offense held mostly

0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:06.240
<v Speaker 1>in check. Under three hundred yards Brewer actually got dinged

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.800
<v Speaker 1>up in the fourth quarter. He wasn't concussed, thankfully, he

0:19:10.000 --> 0:19:12.400
<v Speaker 1>was a couple of weeks ago, but made it through

0:19:12.480 --> 0:19:15.320
<v Speaker 1>concussion protocol. They took him out out of an abundance

0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:18.520
<v Speaker 1>of caution. Jacob Zino came in, couldn't really get much going,

0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and I kind of felt like this game went almost

0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:24.399
<v Speaker 1>entirely the way we expected. Yeah.

0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Probably, I mean, Baylor doesn't score in the first half,

0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:29.080
<v Speaker 2>they take away the ground game, they take away some

0:19:29.119 --> 0:19:33.240
<v Speaker 2>of the short passes. And for as good as Baylor's

0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:35.520
<v Speaker 2>been this year, it's been because of their defense. And

0:19:35.680 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 2>that defense can only hold on for so long if

0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:42.040
<v Speaker 2>they're on the field constantly, and Georgia can say, look,

0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:44.320
<v Speaker 2>we know Denzel Mims is a threat, and they're good

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:46.520
<v Speaker 2>enough to be able to take him out as often

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:49.119
<v Speaker 2>as possible, take him away from the offense, and Baylor

0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.199
<v Speaker 2>doesn't have a counter punch. If Charlie Brewer and Denzel

0:19:52.240 --> 0:19:55.560
<v Speaker 2>Mims aren't connecting in Charlie Brewer's not scrambling for first downs,

0:19:55.560 --> 0:19:57.119
<v Speaker 2>and they're able to keep him in the pocket and

0:19:57.200 --> 0:20:00.280
<v Speaker 2>confuse him and take advantage of his mistakes, how much

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Baylor can do not at this point in their progression

0:20:03.320 --> 0:20:06.040
<v Speaker 2>under Matt rule on offense. We'll see what happens in

0:20:06.080 --> 0:20:08.600
<v Speaker 2>the I guess he passed concussion protocol, but he's still

0:20:08.680 --> 0:20:10.880
<v Speaker 2>he's taking these hits and he's leaving games in precaution.

0:20:11.000 --> 0:20:13.720
<v Speaker 2>Like I don't know how long this can go on

0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.240
<v Speaker 2>for Charlie Brewer and Baylor at a certain point, like

0:20:16.280 --> 0:20:17.800
<v Speaker 2>it just it's a health concern.

0:20:17.840 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a health question.

0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:22.000
<v Speaker 2>On a much more positive front, Georgia looked very good

0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:25.480
<v Speaker 2>and they cared so much more in this game. It

0:20:25.560 --> 0:20:28.680
<v Speaker 2>appeared just with the spirits and what JOI de vive

0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.720
<v Speaker 2>that they played with that they didn't fully have last

0:20:32.760 --> 0:20:35.600
<v Speaker 2>year against Texas. In this spot, I thought the offensive

0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:38.520
<v Speaker 2>line did a lot better job protecting Jake from We

0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:41.680
<v Speaker 2>saw that that flea flicker workout. Very strange to see

0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:45.400
<v Speaker 2>Matt Luke already prowling the sidekins taking over for Sam

0:20:45.440 --> 0:20:48.680
<v Speaker 2>Pittman as the offensive line coach for Georgia. Whatever he did,

0:20:48.720 --> 0:20:52.439
<v Speaker 2>perhaps in bowl preparation or in you know, keeping the

0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:56.199
<v Speaker 2>heads of the offensive linemen on straight, especially given the

0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 2>new look offensive line that Georgia had given the guys

0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:01.280
<v Speaker 2>that were sitting out.

0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Good job, good job.

0:21:02.960 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 2>I mean, Zamir White looked rand strong ran confidently. Good

0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:08.240
<v Speaker 2>for him with all that the health issues he's had

0:21:08.240 --> 0:21:11.360
<v Speaker 2>in the past, he looks like a future dude. For Georgia,

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.200
<v Speaker 2>DeAndre Swift has declared for the NFL Draft, so that's

0:21:15.240 --> 0:21:17.240
<v Speaker 2>a new look. And I think you were right to

0:21:17.320 --> 0:21:20.120
<v Speaker 2>lead off with George Pickens, especially if he can get

0:21:20.160 --> 0:21:23.399
<v Speaker 2>the sort of mental aspect of football and controlling his

0:21:23.480 --> 0:21:27.320
<v Speaker 2>temper on the field in check. He is as talented

0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 2>a receiver as the SEC has moving forward.

0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.080
<v Speaker 1>For sure, for sure, and you know what, to his credit,

0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 1>he called it out. He said, you know, I've got

0:21:34.480 --> 0:21:37.399
<v Speaker 1>some maturing and growing do and we all do, Tyler,

0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:39.880
<v Speaker 1>don't we all? Don't we all? Ain't that the truth? Man?

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:42.280
<v Speaker 1>But good game for him, A nice story to see

0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:44.640
<v Speaker 1>him succeed in the way he did get that trophy

0:21:44.680 --> 0:21:47.600
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the game. Georgia wins the Sugar

0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Bowl by twelve. Elsewhere the Orange Bowl we had Florida

0:21:52.119 --> 0:21:56.800
<v Speaker 1>thirty six Virginia twenty eight. Now, look, I think there

0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:00.439
<v Speaker 1>is a tenancy to gloss over this one for Florida

0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.600
<v Speaker 1>because they were a pretty heavy favorite because they didn't

0:22:03.600 --> 0:22:07.960
<v Speaker 1>win the East, right, but five hundred and forty nine

0:22:08.040 --> 0:22:13.040
<v Speaker 1>yards thirty six points. That is not insignificant because it

0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:15.640
<v Speaker 1>wasn't all that long ago. We were singing a much

0:22:15.720 --> 0:22:19.040
<v Speaker 1>much different tune about Florida's offense. What they did this

0:22:19.160 --> 0:22:23.320
<v Speaker 1>year with a backup quarterback for the majority of the season,

0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:27.000
<v Speaker 1>having to recalibrate the way that Dan Mullen did, for

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 1>my money, one of the better stories in college football.

0:22:29.640 --> 0:22:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Basically no success on the ground. No, not, well, what

0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:35.840
<v Speaker 1>Michael p Ryan in this game against Virginia. Yes, well,

0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:38.000
<v Speaker 1>Michael p Ran in this game had had a very good,

0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:40.840
<v Speaker 1>very good effort here one thirty eight. But to your point,

0:22:40.960 --> 0:22:43.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that's entirely accurate. Yeah.

0:22:43.640 --> 0:22:46.440
<v Speaker 2>No, they struggled to sort of put forth a complete

0:22:46.440 --> 0:22:48.880
<v Speaker 2>offense this year, and they still won games. They still

0:22:49.119 --> 0:22:52.960
<v Speaker 2>exclusively lost to really good teams in what LSU and

0:22:52.960 --> 0:22:56.040
<v Speaker 2>Georgia and took care of business with a backup.

0:22:55.800 --> 0:23:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Quarterback who we not so politely called Calm Calm throw

0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Kyle or whatever we called him, and he got the

0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:07.080
<v Speaker 1>job done. He had a nice season, going against a

0:23:07.160 --> 0:23:09.920
<v Speaker 1>Virginia team that certainly beat up on defense and has

0:23:09.960 --> 0:23:12.000
<v Speaker 1>its own questions in terms of how high level they

0:23:12.040 --> 0:23:14.639
<v Speaker 1>could be they were in this game the whole time.

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:17.960
<v Speaker 1>They were well they were, but they weren't like Florida

0:23:18.040 --> 0:23:21.280
<v Speaker 1>kept them at arm's length for the entire second half.

0:23:21.280 --> 0:23:24.239
<v Speaker 1>They pulled within one score early in the fourth, but

0:23:24.280 --> 0:23:27.000
<v Speaker 1>then Florida answered quickly and just sort of coasted to victory.

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:29.399
<v Speaker 1>So they weren't out of it. I don't know if

0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:32.639
<v Speaker 1>they were ever truly within striking distance. It didn't feel

0:23:32.640 --> 0:23:37.200
<v Speaker 1>that way. I mean, six points with what twelve thirteen minutes?

0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:39.320
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know, I know. It's just it's not

0:23:39.400 --> 0:23:41.879
<v Speaker 1>a runaway It wasn't a runaway train. You're right, it was.

0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:47.120
<v Speaker 2>The final score is not as accurate as the comfort

0:23:47.200 --> 0:23:49.520
<v Speaker 2>with which Florida seemed to pull away from this game,

0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 2>but a nice showing because Bryce Perkins has to do

0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:57.159
<v Speaker 2>it all for Virginia and continuously did all season long.

0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:00.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean, not necessarily against Clemson, but you know, this

0:24:00.240 --> 0:24:03.280
<v Speaker 2>is a good Florida defense that Bryce Perkins was able

0:24:03.320 --> 0:24:05.919
<v Speaker 2>to find whoever has seized to wah whoever in this

0:24:06.040 --> 0:24:09.800
<v Speaker 2>game and just at a certain point he just couldn't

0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:14.119
<v Speaker 2>do everything. But I like the performance. I liked the season,

0:24:14.119 --> 0:24:16.639
<v Speaker 2>and I liked watching my father in law Rome across

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:21.040
<v Speaker 2>South Florida seeing Virginia fan after Virginia fan, after asking me,

0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:23.760
<v Speaker 2>what do Virginia fans say to each other? Like Texas

0:24:23.800 --> 0:24:25.879
<v Speaker 2>fans say, hook them? He would just go up to

0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:28.840
<v Speaker 2>strangers at tables wearing Who's gear and go up to

0:24:28.880 --> 0:24:31.880
<v Speaker 2>them and say, hey, waho wa, good luck. It felt

0:24:31.960 --> 0:24:35.879
<v Speaker 2>like the mayor of Virginia fandom because he likes no

0:24:35.960 --> 0:24:39.080
<v Speaker 2>having met secret in jokes, having met your father in law.

0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:42.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, didn't he do magic tricks for people at an

0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Italian restaurant? Yeah, when we were in Chicago.

0:24:45.160 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely loves going up to strangers at tables and

0:24:48.680 --> 0:24:49.879
<v Speaker 2>just being friendly.

0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 1>Awesome, dude, Yeah, I love the guy all right. Citrus Bowl,

0:24:55.080 --> 0:25:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Alabama thirty five, Michigan sixteen. I like we knew going

0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:05.200
<v Speaker 1>into this that there were some interesting matchups to watch

0:25:06.000 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>and that Michigan had enough talent, I think, to offer resistance.

0:25:10.480 --> 0:25:13.320
<v Speaker 1>The question was how much and for how long? And

0:25:13.359 --> 0:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of been the story of coaching against Nick

0:25:16.000 --> 0:25:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Saban in this one. Michigan played really well for a half.

0:25:21.160 --> 0:25:24.760
<v Speaker 1>They led by two sixteen fourteen after two quarters. Yeah,

0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:28.760
<v Speaker 1>ran well, ran well, sure, second half more of the

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.560
<v Speaker 1>same from Alabama. They rip off twenty one unanswered. They

0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:34.480
<v Speaker 1>win going away. Mac Jones a really nice game three

0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:38.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven and three touchdowns, no picks, Najie Harris one

0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:41.639
<v Speaker 1>point thirty six and two touchdowns on the ground, Jerry

0:25:41.760 --> 0:25:45.919
<v Speaker 1>Judy virtually unstoppable, six for two h four and a

0:25:45.960 --> 0:25:51.600
<v Speaker 1>touchdown through the air. It's really just a matter of

0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:57.879
<v Speaker 1>Alabama has a machine. They've got all the talent in

0:25:57.920 --> 0:26:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the world, and it's sucks that they lost to to injury.

0:26:03.040 --> 0:26:07.359
<v Speaker 1>But the other parts don't stop working simply because he's

0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:10.159
<v Speaker 1>not on the field. They knew how to recalibrate the

0:26:10.200 --> 0:26:13.720
<v Speaker 1>game plan. Mac Jones played really well against a good defense,

0:26:14.400 --> 0:26:17.840
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, Alabama, Dan just keeps doing Alabama things. This

0:26:17.960 --> 0:26:18.560
<v Speaker 1>is very true.

0:26:19.080 --> 0:26:20.960
<v Speaker 2>We've talked about what it takes to beat Alabama. Even

0:26:21.000 --> 0:26:23.639
<v Speaker 2>a down Alabama defense, Michigan was able to find some

0:26:24.080 --> 0:26:27.320
<v Speaker 2>success on the ground, some creative play to it was.

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:29.760
<v Speaker 2>Giles Jackson had a nice day for Michigan, sort of

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:32.480
<v Speaker 2>an all purpose tight back. Hit a couple carries and

0:26:32.640 --> 0:26:36.240
<v Speaker 2>a few receptions. But you need more than shape Patterson.

0:26:36.560 --> 0:26:39.720
<v Speaker 2>You need more than you need that fearless guide connecting

0:26:39.760 --> 0:26:43.720
<v Speaker 2>with tall physical receivers, which Michigan has Donovan Peebles, Jones,

0:26:43.800 --> 0:26:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Nico Collins, Tariq Black. These are talented dudes, but this

0:26:46.920 --> 0:26:50.320
<v Speaker 2>Michigan offense just wasn't consistent enough from the top to

0:26:50.320 --> 0:26:53.080
<v Speaker 2>get it, John, and I think you were going in

0:26:53.080 --> 0:26:55.160
<v Speaker 2>the right direction. Mac Jones is just a good quarterback.

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:57.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, he has these incredible weapons and an incredible line.

0:26:57.720 --> 0:27:01.240
<v Speaker 2>I know all the advantages he has, but he made plays.

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:04.120
<v Speaker 2>He made throws and that's all you can really ask for,

0:27:04.240 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 2>and didn't throw pick. And I the Alabama war machine

0:27:08.440 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 2>is still going strong. And they opened the game up

0:27:11.080 --> 0:27:14.560
<v Speaker 2>with what an eighty five yard touchdown catch Mac Jones

0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:17.760
<v Speaker 2>to Jerry Judy. And you know, we talk about the

0:27:17.800 --> 0:27:21.040
<v Speaker 2>scores misleading what the actual game look like. And I

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:24.639
<v Speaker 2>know Alabama pulled away late, but that's what good teams do.

0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:28.400
<v Speaker 2>So it was what twenty one sixteen into the fourth quarter,

0:27:28.560 --> 0:27:31.560
<v Speaker 2>deeper into the fourth quarter, and Alabama rode Najie Harris

0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:34.720
<v Speaker 2>to shore and it worked out really well for them.

0:27:34.920 --> 0:27:37.480
<v Speaker 2>They got that late pick, and Alabama, in a game

0:27:37.520 --> 0:27:40.679
<v Speaker 2>where you would understand if they weren't fully motivated against

0:27:40.680 --> 0:27:43.840
<v Speaker 2>a good Michigan team, dug deep and found a way

0:27:43.880 --> 0:27:45.960
<v Speaker 2>to win at the end very comfortably.

0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:49.919
<v Speaker 1>It helps to have Alabama's offensive line, definitely does. But

0:27:50.720 --> 0:27:54.840
<v Speaker 1>that being said, whenever a backup comes in, I like

0:27:54.920 --> 0:27:57.520
<v Speaker 1>to look and try to figure out, like, does this

0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:00.399
<v Speaker 1>guy look comfortable? Yeah, handled pressure, does he look like

0:28:00.440 --> 0:28:02.359
<v Speaker 1>he knows what he's doing? Or is he kind of

0:28:02.400 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 1>staring at the line in front of him and acting frantic?

0:28:05.600 --> 0:28:08.280
<v Speaker 1>That was not the case here. No, he looked very comfortable,

0:28:08.359 --> 0:28:11.600
<v Speaker 1>very poised, And the numbers bear that out. Three twenty seven,

0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:13.080
<v Speaker 1>three touchdowns, no interceptions.

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:18.160
<v Speaker 2>Most importantly, Yeah, yeah, Alabama down at halftime.

0:28:18.240 --> 0:28:22.280
<v Speaker 1>But you know those those scrappy underdogs. Yeah no, Lisa,

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:29.199
<v Speaker 1>all right, Alamo ball. Dan is Texas back? I mean,

0:28:29.480 --> 0:28:32.080
<v Speaker 1>Texas is back to being Texas. Yeah. They win some games,

0:28:32.080 --> 0:28:37.120
<v Speaker 1>they lose other games. Texas is thirty eight. Utah ten

0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:42.680
<v Speaker 1>just got furder Man. I did not see this one coming.

0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I can't tell if yeah, I can't tell if Texas

0:28:47.400 --> 0:28:51.680
<v Speaker 1>just smoked Utah, or if Utah didn't want to be there,

0:28:52.560 --> 0:28:56.320
<v Speaker 1>or if it was some combination of both. But Utah

0:28:56.360 --> 0:28:59.760
<v Speaker 1>could not get anything going in this game. This was

0:28:59.880 --> 0:29:03.160
<v Speaker 1>all Texas. It was all Sam Ellinger. He threw for

0:29:03.200 --> 0:29:07.760
<v Speaker 1>three touchdowns, he ran for another. I was most impressed

0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 1>watching this one back at the pressure that Texas got

0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:15.000
<v Speaker 1>on Tyler Huntley, Like it just it felt like they

0:29:15.040 --> 0:29:19.920
<v Speaker 1>were constantly in his face, constantly changing the rhythm of

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:23.480
<v Speaker 1>that Utah offense, and as a result, the youths couldn't

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:26.880
<v Speaker 1>get anything going. Sam Ellinger did his thing on offense

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:31.360
<v Speaker 1>against a really good Utah defense. Mind, you don't know

0:29:31.360 --> 0:29:33.400
<v Speaker 1>if it was a bit of a letdown situation for

0:29:33.600 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Utah being so they lost the Pac twelve game. Typically

0:29:36.480 --> 0:29:39.280
<v Speaker 1>we don't see that from Mi Kyle Whittinghampton. They're very

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:42.320
<v Speaker 1>good in the postseason. But suffice to say a twenty

0:29:42.360 --> 0:29:44.360
<v Speaker 1>eight point win for Texas would prove otherwise.

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:47.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, not great in the postseason either last year against

0:29:47.560 --> 0:29:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Northwestern in the Holiday Bowl. But Utah had every reason

0:29:52.000 --> 0:29:54.840
<v Speaker 2>to be motivated even after losing the Pac twelve championship

0:29:54.840 --> 0:29:56.760
<v Speaker 2>game the way that they did, because this is still

0:29:56.880 --> 0:29:59.600
<v Speaker 2>a high profile bowl game with everybody watching.

0:29:59.680 --> 0:30:02.720
<v Speaker 1>This was New Year's Eve. I believe this is when

0:30:02.760 --> 0:30:05.320
<v Speaker 1>this went off. I think so New Year's Eve, so

0:30:05.360 --> 0:30:07.680
<v Speaker 1>everybody's watching this game. It's in it's you know, it's

0:30:07.720 --> 0:30:09.240
<v Speaker 1>in a dome. It's in a big dome. You got

0:30:09.240 --> 0:30:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Texas fans all over the place, Utah having an opportunity,

0:30:12.000 --> 0:30:15.120
<v Speaker 1>even with a down Texas to beat a high profile opponent.

0:30:15.600 --> 0:30:17.840
<v Speaker 2>And I think you're right. And I saw some quotes

0:30:17.880 --> 0:30:20.280
<v Speaker 2>after the game that perhaps Utah didn't take this game

0:30:20.360 --> 0:30:23.600
<v Speaker 2>as seriously as they should have. But I'm certainly glad

0:30:23.640 --> 0:30:27.040
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have to watch Utah against LSU. I'm glad

0:30:27.080 --> 0:30:29.400
<v Speaker 2>we didn't have to watch Utah against Clemsoner Ohio State

0:30:29.480 --> 0:30:31.840
<v Speaker 2>after if they don't have the ability to get up

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:35.240
<v Speaker 2>for Texas and the Alimobile. And again, I understand the disappointment,

0:30:35.240 --> 0:30:38.400
<v Speaker 2>but I'm gonna channel some inner David Pollock here. Texas

0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:40.520
<v Speaker 2>won this game at the point of attack. Texas won

0:30:40.520 --> 0:30:42.880
<v Speaker 2>this game in the trenches. They protected Sam Ellinger well,

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:46.080
<v Speaker 2>they opened up lanes for Keanta Ingram and Roshan Johnson,

0:30:46.120 --> 0:30:50.600
<v Speaker 2>and Ellinger ran well. And defensively, you're right, they swarmed

0:30:50.960 --> 0:30:56.440
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Huntley. They basically shut down Zach Moss. And Utah

0:30:56.640 --> 0:31:00.440
<v Speaker 2>is a pretty good program. They're not big time, and

0:31:01.000 --> 0:31:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I think Brandon Huffman talked about this on signing Day.

0:31:04.320 --> 0:31:06.800
<v Speaker 2>They're trending in that direction in terms of the talent

0:31:06.840 --> 0:31:09.280
<v Speaker 2>they have. They were missing key guys in the secondary,

0:31:09.280 --> 0:31:11.640
<v Speaker 2>and Texas was able to take advantage of that. But

0:31:12.480 --> 0:31:14.959
<v Speaker 2>Utah didn't have the depth, they didn't have the get up,

0:31:14.960 --> 0:31:16.840
<v Speaker 2>and they didn't have the talent to hang with a

0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:21.360
<v Speaker 2>seven and five Big twelve team. And it's great to

0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:25.080
<v Speaker 2>kill Arizona State and Oregon State and Call and whoever.

0:31:25.640 --> 0:31:29.840
<v Speaker 2>But they played Oregon in USC Washington was relatively close,

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:33.280
<v Speaker 2>and now losing to Texas, Utah just they have a ceiling.

0:31:33.280 --> 0:31:36.400
<v Speaker 2>They're pretty good, they're not big time. The Texas pressure

0:31:36.400 --> 0:31:37.200
<v Speaker 2>thing really threw me.

0:31:37.320 --> 0:31:40.040
<v Speaker 1>This is not a team that was good at sacking

0:31:40.080 --> 0:31:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the quarterback, really generating pressure all year and they did

0:31:43.480 --> 0:31:46.239
<v Speaker 1>outstanding job. Ten points they didn't score, they didn't get

0:31:46.240 --> 0:31:48.520
<v Speaker 1>at the end. So until what the fourth quarter? Yeah yeah,

0:31:48.600 --> 0:31:52.840
<v Speaker 1>this bally Hood and Bloodwig offense come on all right,

0:31:52.920 --> 0:31:57.520
<v Speaker 1>out back ball. Minnesota thirty one, Auburn twenty four. Dan

0:31:57.600 --> 0:32:01.240
<v Speaker 1>Auburn fricking gets me again. They can every year. I

0:32:01.280 --> 0:32:02.960
<v Speaker 1>can't figure out what to do with Auburn in the

0:32:02.960 --> 0:32:06.160
<v Speaker 1>bowl game. That's okay, it makes it spicy. I should

0:32:06.200 --> 0:32:10.080
<v Speaker 1>have gone Minnesota because of the motivation factor. I should

0:32:10.120 --> 0:32:14.040
<v Speaker 1>have done it. Oh, Auburn tried. They just couldn't really

0:32:14.080 --> 0:32:18.520
<v Speaker 1>do much Tanner Morgan nineteen of twenty nine, but twelve

0:32:18.560 --> 0:32:22.360
<v Speaker 1>of those went to the man, the myth, Tyler Johnson.

0:32:23.160 --> 0:32:26.400
<v Speaker 1>He shares my namesake. He's a boy in a man's body.

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Twelve catches, just like you, ty just like me. Yeah,

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:34.680
<v Speaker 1>two to four through the air, two touchdowns. He was unguardable.

0:32:35.760 --> 0:32:38.400
<v Speaker 1>Maybe the most exciting game of the day.

0:32:38.360 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this was fun, especially with the way that Minnesota

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:43.920
<v Speaker 2>just slowly squeezed the life out of Auburn's defense to

0:32:44.000 --> 0:32:45.440
<v Speaker 2>win this game with what an eight and a half

0:32:45.520 --> 0:32:46.040
<v Speaker 2>minute drive.

0:32:46.560 --> 0:32:50.760
<v Speaker 1>It whoa a big deal for the Minnesota program. It

0:32:50.800 --> 0:32:55.360
<v Speaker 1>can't be. It can't be overstated enough. A remarkable season

0:32:55.720 --> 0:32:58.720
<v Speaker 1>for the Gophers to win the ball game against an

0:32:58.760 --> 0:33:03.360
<v Speaker 1>SEC opponent, A big deal. PJ. Fleck seemingly hanging around

0:33:03.400 --> 0:33:08.320
<v Speaker 1>another year. Yeah, trying to build something up there at Minnesota,

0:33:08.320 --> 0:33:10.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's cool. It's really cool to see.

0:33:10.160 --> 0:33:12.000
<v Speaker 2>As well as he should. I mean, Minnesota played a

0:33:12.040 --> 0:33:14.840
<v Speaker 2>complete game on offense, with you know, getting some bad

0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Tanner Morgan thrown into this game. Tyler Johnson's just incredible.

0:33:18.600 --> 0:33:20.560
<v Speaker 2>For as much as we'd like to drool over Rashad

0:33:20.600 --> 0:33:23.760
<v Speaker 2>Bateman Tyler Johnson is now an All timer for Minnesota,

0:33:23.840 --> 0:33:25.440
<v Speaker 2>and to also get it done on the ground, which

0:33:25.480 --> 0:33:27.320
<v Speaker 2>they weren't able to consistently do this year with Mo

0:33:27.600 --> 0:33:30.520
<v Speaker 2>was Abraham ran a lot better than Rodney Smith, a

0:33:30.520 --> 0:33:33.880
<v Speaker 2>bigger play guy at least against a really strong Auburn defense.

0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:36.840
<v Speaker 2>Bow Nick struggled going downfield. They just they were not

0:33:37.120 --> 0:33:39.800
<v Speaker 2>able to be creative enough to overcome what Minnesota was

0:33:39.840 --> 0:33:43.160
<v Speaker 2>doing on defense. And the Gophers did a terrific job

0:33:43.200 --> 0:33:45.360
<v Speaker 2>against Auburn on the ground. So if you force bow

0:33:45.480 --> 0:33:48.400
<v Speaker 2>Nicks to beat you through the air, it's a tough

0:33:48.440 --> 0:33:52.320
<v Speaker 2>ask with what Auburn has creatively. And you know, maybe

0:33:52.400 --> 0:33:55.200
<v Speaker 2>Chad Morris will be a breath of fresh air for

0:33:55.240 --> 0:33:58.560
<v Speaker 2>this Auburn offense. We'll see if Anthony Schwartz. I saw

0:33:58.600 --> 0:34:00.959
<v Speaker 2>some stories about him having to to side now between

0:34:01.000 --> 0:34:04.480
<v Speaker 2>track and football, and that's kind of I mean, I

0:34:04.560 --> 0:34:07.440
<v Speaker 2>like Seth Williams, but that's that big play dude for Auburn.

0:34:07.520 --> 0:34:09.040
<v Speaker 2>If he's gone, I don't know what they look like.

0:34:09.600 --> 0:34:12.200
<v Speaker 2>So big offseason for the Tigers. But I think the

0:34:12.239 --> 0:34:14.400
<v Speaker 2>story here is Minnesota, the way they're able to close

0:34:14.440 --> 0:34:16.680
<v Speaker 2>out this game and the performance they get. I mean,

0:34:16.680 --> 0:34:19.160
<v Speaker 2>that catch early on from Tyler Johnson just the beast

0:34:19.200 --> 0:34:23.520
<v Speaker 2>sirt an absolutely beast. Eleven win Minnesota. I mean, there

0:34:23.600 --> 0:34:25.560
<v Speaker 2>is context to how they got to those eleven wins

0:34:25.560 --> 0:34:27.840
<v Speaker 2>and what the Big Ten look like this season. But

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:32.000
<v Speaker 2>you know what, it's early January. Who cares good for

0:34:32.040 --> 0:34:35.120
<v Speaker 2>the Gophers. They beat Penn State, they beat Auburn, it did.

0:34:35.160 --> 0:34:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Those aren't bad wins. Lost their offensive coordinator to Penn.

0:34:37.840 --> 0:34:40.800
<v Speaker 1>State, lost their offensive coordinator pen State because he beat Penstate,

0:34:41.120 --> 0:34:45.600
<v Speaker 1>all right, belk ball Kentucky thirty seven, Virginia Tech thirty.

0:34:45.960 --> 0:34:50.360
<v Speaker 1>The Lynn Bowden junior express train keeps on chugging. He

0:34:50.520 --> 0:34:55.680
<v Speaker 1>ran for two twenty three and two touchdowns on thirty

0:34:55.680 --> 0:35:00.080
<v Speaker 1>four carries, also through the game winning touchdown pass with

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:03.759
<v Speaker 1>fifteen seconds left, furious comeback to give the Cats the win.

0:35:04.200 --> 0:35:08.680
<v Speaker 1>This was feisty started, feisty, feisty start to this one.

0:35:08.719 --> 0:35:12.680
<v Speaker 1>Here a little bit of a scuffle pregame, but a

0:35:12.719 --> 0:35:15.319
<v Speaker 1>cool story, I think really on both fronts if you

0:35:15.360 --> 0:35:18.879
<v Speaker 1>try to put this in context. First and foremost, Lynn

0:35:18.920 --> 0:35:23.520
<v Speaker 1>Bowden Junior basically becoming the quarterback Kentucky having to reprogram

0:35:23.560 --> 0:35:27.480
<v Speaker 1>its entire offense to fit his skill set. They did

0:35:27.480 --> 0:35:30.640
<v Speaker 1>pretty well down the stretch all things considered, So all

0:35:30.719 --> 0:35:34.320
<v Speaker 1>do credit to him to that coaching staff. He probably

0:35:34.400 --> 0:35:37.319
<v Speaker 1>has an NFL future, so I give him kudos for

0:35:37.360 --> 0:35:39.000
<v Speaker 1>playing in this game knowing that he was going to

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:41.319
<v Speaker 1>take a lick you at thirty four carries. Yeah. Oh,

0:35:41.320 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 1>I think he definitely does. He's too good not to

0:35:43.400 --> 0:35:46.040
<v Speaker 1>as an athlete. Yeah, absolutely, So all do credit to

0:35:46.080 --> 0:35:49.640
<v Speaker 1>him in the Kentucky staff for reprogramming things and putting

0:35:49.640 --> 0:35:54.319
<v Speaker 1>together just a really positive close to the season. And

0:35:54.520 --> 0:35:57.839
<v Speaker 1>on the Virginia Tech side of things, look the way

0:35:58.000 --> 0:36:02.160
<v Speaker 1>they I think circled the wagons and got things going

0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:03.800
<v Speaker 1>in a good direction after a bit of a rocky

0:36:03.840 --> 0:36:06.640
<v Speaker 1>start was admirable as well. I think they found their

0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:10.399
<v Speaker 1>quarterback and Hendon Hooker. Definitely there's a lot coming back

0:36:10.440 --> 0:36:13.000
<v Speaker 1>next season, and I think a lot of reason for

0:36:13.040 --> 0:36:16.200
<v Speaker 1>optimism going into the twenty twenty seasons. So didn't win,

0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:20.600
<v Speaker 1>here was a very close, very fun game, and I

0:36:20.640 --> 0:36:24.080
<v Speaker 1>think a lot more excitement to come in twenty twenty

0:36:24.080 --> 0:36:27.480
<v Speaker 1>for them. I hope so, because the ACC is thirsty

0:36:27.960 --> 0:36:31.879
<v Speaker 1>excitement and quality, and this year did not really give

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:34.360
<v Speaker 1>us all that much. Yeah, Virginia Tech You're not wrong,

0:36:34.600 --> 0:36:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I would say, at the very least disappointing in Bud

0:36:37.160 --> 0:36:40.000
<v Speaker 1>Foster's final game to lose to a team without an

0:36:40.040 --> 0:36:44.120
<v Speaker 1>ability to throw the ball Lynn Bowden Junior and his

0:36:44.320 --> 0:36:48.560
<v Speaker 1>game winning throw aside not great, not a great look

0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:50.520
<v Speaker 1>for Virginia Tech. Not Able to get it done themselves

0:36:50.560 --> 0:36:52.600
<v Speaker 1>through the air, though finally able to get it done

0:36:52.719 --> 0:36:56.440
<v Speaker 1>on the ground with some big play running and still

0:36:56.760 --> 0:36:58.640
<v Speaker 1>gave the game away. Was not able to get in

0:36:58.680 --> 0:37:01.440
<v Speaker 1>the end zone in the fourth quarter, and good for

0:37:01.520 --> 0:37:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Kentucky for taking advantage. Good for Kentucky for we'd mentioned

0:37:04.480 --> 0:37:06.239
<v Speaker 1>this in the preview. They can be pushed around up

0:37:06.239 --> 0:37:08.440
<v Speaker 1>front in the run game, which they were at times,

0:37:08.680 --> 0:37:10.879
<v Speaker 1>but they did a good job locking down Virginia Tech

0:37:10.920 --> 0:37:13.839
<v Speaker 1>through the air and sort of confusing Hendon Hooker into

0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:16.239
<v Speaker 1>some bad throws. So really strong way to end the

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:20.000
<v Speaker 1>season for Kentucky in a very encouraging way. The Music

0:37:20.120 --> 0:37:27.160
<v Speaker 1>City Bowl we had Louisville thirty eight Louisville, Mississippi State

0:37:27.239 --> 0:37:30.959
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight. We already mentioned that Joemo got fired after

0:37:31.000 --> 0:37:37.359
<v Speaker 1>this game, but McHale Cunningham through for two seventy nine

0:37:37.360 --> 0:37:40.280
<v Speaker 1>and two touchdowns. He added another eighty one on the ground,

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:43.920
<v Speaker 1>Louisville stepped on the gas in the second half. They

0:37:43.920 --> 0:37:47.440
<v Speaker 1>got their eighth win of the season, which if you

0:37:47.480 --> 0:37:50.719
<v Speaker 1>would have said before the season that we'd be talking

0:37:50.719 --> 0:37:54.759
<v Speaker 1>about an eight win Louisville, that would have been a

0:37:54.800 --> 0:37:57.520
<v Speaker 1>hell of a story. That would have been a bit

0:37:57.560 --> 0:38:01.040
<v Speaker 1>of craziness preseason to say eight win Louisville, especially where

0:38:01.040 --> 0:38:04.719
<v Speaker 1>they were last year. But the way that Scott Saderfield

0:38:04.760 --> 0:38:08.880
<v Speaker 1>has come in and made such a dramatic and immediate

0:38:08.920 --> 0:38:12.440
<v Speaker 1>impact on this program is not to be understated. Louisville

0:38:12.840 --> 0:38:17.319
<v Speaker 1>could be back in whatever Louisville context that is before long.

0:38:17.440 --> 0:38:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Very exciting to see them win this Bowl game.

0:38:19.920 --> 0:38:22.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you know, I feel about Michael Cunney, Man Cunningham,

0:38:22.280 --> 0:38:25.920
<v Speaker 2>he's full on good Mississippi State after going up fourteen

0:38:26.000 --> 0:38:28.200
<v Speaker 2>nothing to give up what they did into the fourth

0:38:28.280 --> 0:38:31.760
<v Speaker 2>quarter of thirty one straight, it's it's just a rough watch.

0:38:31.800 --> 0:38:34.000
<v Speaker 2>If you're I'm sure a Mississippi State fan. We saw

0:38:34.040 --> 0:38:36.319
<v Speaker 2>Louisville get pushed around by Kentucky on the ground and

0:38:36.800 --> 0:38:39.200
<v Speaker 2>the Bulldogs really not get much going from I know.

0:38:39.280 --> 0:38:41.759
<v Speaker 2>Kylon Hill was hurt, he tried and he was within

0:38:41.840 --> 0:38:45.200
<v Speaker 2>reach of a record, but you know, Klangan not being

0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:48.160
<v Speaker 2>able to run it at all against this Louisville defense, which.

0:38:48.000 --> 0:38:50.720
<v Speaker 1>Is not good. This is not a good Cardinal defense.

0:38:50.760 --> 0:38:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I think eventually it should be, but this is you

0:38:54.400 --> 0:38:58.640
<v Speaker 1>should be able to score more, and you know, good for.

0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:01.400
<v Speaker 2>The Cardinals taking advantage of state mistakes and turnovers and

0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:03.960
<v Speaker 2>everything like that, and finish the season. You know, it's

0:39:03.960 --> 0:39:05.799
<v Speaker 2>a seven and five year with a Bowl win. That's

0:39:05.800 --> 0:39:07.920
<v Speaker 2>how I tend to view these things. But it's not

0:39:08.040 --> 0:39:11.319
<v Speaker 2>unique to Louisville. I think there is, at least going

0:39:11.320 --> 0:39:13.640
<v Speaker 2>into the early offseason in spring ball, every reason to.

0:39:13.640 --> 0:39:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Be pretty excited if you're a Louisville fan. Agree, one

0:39:16.880 --> 0:39:20.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent. Nice win for Louisville thirty eight, twenty eight

0:39:20.600 --> 0:39:25.239
<v Speaker 1>again in the Music City Bowl. Dane, Let's let's talk

0:39:25.239 --> 0:39:28.160
<v Speaker 1>about the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl now if we could. Yeah,

0:39:28.160 --> 0:39:34.040
<v Speaker 1>it's time as I prepare for this recap and I'm

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:37.759
<v Speaker 1>not making this up, swear to God. Okay, it's a

0:39:37.800 --> 0:39:40.560
<v Speaker 1>windy day here in eastern Pennsylvania. There is a giant

0:39:40.680 --> 0:39:45.560
<v Speaker 1>barrel of garbage blowing across my backyard. Oh ty, if

0:39:45.560 --> 0:39:47.799
<v Speaker 1>that's not a metaphor for this game. I don't know

0:39:47.840 --> 0:39:52.800
<v Speaker 1>what the hell is Arizona State twenty, Florida State fourteen.

0:39:53.600 --> 0:39:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Eight total turnovers in this football game. That includes six

0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:02.800
<v Speaker 1>by Florida State. So if you got the cold sweats

0:40:03.520 --> 0:40:06.000
<v Speaker 1>thinking back to the two thousand and eight Sun Bowl,

0:40:06.040 --> 0:40:10.640
<v Speaker 1>you weren't alone three to nothing after one quarter, nine

0:40:10.640 --> 0:40:14.360
<v Speaker 1>to nothing at half in favor of ASU. The Knowles,

0:40:14.360 --> 0:40:16.799
<v Speaker 1>to their credit, came back. They made it fourteen to

0:40:16.880 --> 0:40:19.640
<v Speaker 1>nine after three quarters, but then they gave up a

0:40:19.640 --> 0:40:21.680
<v Speaker 1>field goal. They threw a pick six early in the

0:40:21.680 --> 0:40:25.440
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter, and that's what did him in. Did not

0:40:25.480 --> 0:40:29.840
<v Speaker 1>a not a particularly fun Sun Bowl to watch. Sometimes

0:40:29.880 --> 0:40:32.719
<v Speaker 1>it's really good when the most extreme weirdo in your

0:40:32.760 --> 0:40:36.400
<v Speaker 1>life finds another extreme weirdo to start a life with

0:40:36.520 --> 0:40:39.440
<v Speaker 1>and get married or whatever. It was nice to have

0:40:39.480 --> 0:40:42.759
<v Speaker 1>these two offensive lines and in case we made offenses

0:40:42.840 --> 0:40:47.200
<v Speaker 1>quarantined in the same place during bowl season. This was ugly.

0:40:47.280 --> 0:40:50.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what ASU doesn't score, doesn't get into the end

0:40:50.280 --> 0:40:53.120
<v Speaker 2>zone until the very end of the game. Yeah, what

0:40:53.200 --> 0:40:56.879
<v Speaker 2>ten minutes left in the fourth quarter and still looked

0:40:57.000 --> 0:40:59.480
<v Speaker 2>like the clear better team with what James Blackman was

0:40:59.600 --> 0:41:02.160
<v Speaker 2>throwing up out into the universe and the offensive line

0:41:02.200 --> 0:41:05.319
<v Speaker 2>play in this game. I guess good forray sUAS you

0:41:05.360 --> 0:41:08.080
<v Speaker 2>finished with a strong recruiting class. There's reason for optimism

0:41:08.160 --> 0:41:10.520
<v Speaker 2>with Florida State moving forward and the Mike norvel Era

0:41:10.600 --> 0:41:12.920
<v Speaker 2>and what they've been able to do recruiting, and you

0:41:12.960 --> 0:41:15.600
<v Speaker 2>know what their offense should look like and what they

0:41:15.600 --> 0:41:18.640
<v Speaker 2>return on defense. But good that we could get these

0:41:18.640 --> 0:41:20.680
<v Speaker 2>two teams together to have their little party in l

0:41:20.760 --> 0:41:22.799
<v Speaker 2>Paso and just move forward.

0:41:24.000 --> 0:41:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Move forward, all right? Gator Ball Tennessee twenty three, Indiana

0:41:28.160 --> 0:41:32.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty two. Weird game here? Weird close to this game definitely,

0:41:33.080 --> 0:41:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Let's say, because Tennessee scored twice within thirty seconds late

0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:42.880
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth quarter, they were down twenty two to nine.

0:41:43.880 --> 0:41:46.480
<v Speaker 1>They steal this one off the back of a truck

0:41:47.160 --> 0:41:50.720
<v Speaker 1>and win by a twenty three to twenty two score.

0:41:51.160 --> 0:41:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Tennessee got, you know, bad, Jarrett Garantano. At the start,

0:41:54.920 --> 0:41:59.120
<v Speaker 2>they had opportunities and you just couldn't connect. I thought

0:41:59.160 --> 0:42:02.600
<v Speaker 2>to a takeaway for Tennessee is how excited people should

0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:05.320
<v Speaker 2>be for Eric Gray, who looked sensational on the ground,

0:42:05.680 --> 0:42:09.439
<v Speaker 2>like a new era of Tennessee offense. We'll see if

0:42:09.480 --> 0:42:12.600
<v Speaker 2>Guarantano can develop or if Tennessee goes after somebody in

0:42:12.640 --> 0:42:15.239
<v Speaker 2>the transfer portal of this offseason. Who knows what happens there,

0:42:15.719 --> 0:42:19.200
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, I thought. Also the story was Tennessee's defense

0:42:19.200 --> 0:42:22.160
<v Speaker 2>doing a good enough job against a strong Indiana offense,

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:24.920
<v Speaker 2>losing their offensive coordinator and Kaylin de Borr back to

0:42:24.960 --> 0:42:28.759
<v Speaker 2>Fresno State. They did a good job against Indiana on

0:42:28.800 --> 0:42:30.560
<v Speaker 2>the ground, they did a good job against IU in

0:42:30.600 --> 0:42:35.240
<v Speaker 2>the air, through the air, whatever, and still needed everything

0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:39.279
<v Speaker 2>in the world to come back in this game. So yeah,

0:42:39.440 --> 0:42:43.000
<v Speaker 2>weird game, fun game, strange ending, and good for the

0:42:43.040 --> 0:42:47.319
<v Speaker 2>balls who have the pieces. If they can get good

0:42:47.360 --> 0:42:53.759
<v Speaker 2>quarterback play wherever, they should improve upon well, they seven

0:42:53.800 --> 0:42:56.359
<v Speaker 2>and five season via the tennisance at the end, they

0:42:56.360 --> 0:42:58.640
<v Speaker 2>should get to eight or nine wins next year, presumably.

0:43:00.080 --> 0:43:04.040
<v Speaker 2>Jeremy Prowett, I'm I have a healthy amount of optimism,

0:43:04.040 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 2>not a crazy amount, a healthy amount.

0:43:06.400 --> 0:43:10.239
<v Speaker 1>The Red Box Bowl. I really hate that I can't

0:43:10.239 --> 0:43:13.080
<v Speaker 1>make this joke about Oregon. Yeah, where's my Rose Bowl

0:43:13.160 --> 0:43:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Championship hat? Todd cal riving thirty five Illinois twenty four

0:43:19.760 --> 0:43:24.640
<v Speaker 1>touchdown passes for Chase Garber's makes you wonder about Cal's season,

0:43:24.880 --> 0:43:27.479
<v Speaker 1>what it would have looked like, if Chase Garber's didn't

0:43:27.480 --> 0:43:29.080
<v Speaker 1>get hurt, I think it would have taken on a

0:43:29.160 --> 0:43:34.280
<v Speaker 1>much different feel. But yeah, a good story for Illinois

0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:36.400
<v Speaker 1>to get to this game. I think we both like

0:43:36.480 --> 0:43:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Cal a great deal going into it. Not gonna lie

0:43:39.960 --> 0:43:41.959
<v Speaker 1>and say I watched a whole lot of this game,

0:43:42.040 --> 0:43:46.200
<v Speaker 1>but my main takeaway is nice win for Cal, nice

0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:48.960
<v Speaker 1>cap on the season, and really a story of what

0:43:49.000 --> 0:43:51.080
<v Speaker 1>could have been if their quarterback did not get hurt.

0:43:52.320 --> 0:43:54.879
<v Speaker 1>If their quarterback doesn't get hurt, they beat ASU, they

0:43:54.920 --> 0:43:58.640
<v Speaker 1>probably beat Oregon, and they definitely beat Oregon State. They

0:43:58.680 --> 0:44:00.759
<v Speaker 1>lose to Utah, they lose to SAE because they lost

0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:03.560
<v Speaker 1>both of those games demonstrably well. Who knows where they

0:44:03.640 --> 0:44:07.799
<v Speaker 1>end up bowl wise, But yes, Cal has and had

0:44:07.800 --> 0:44:10.880
<v Speaker 1>a competent offense, if not a pretty good offense, balanced

0:44:10.920 --> 0:44:13.719
<v Speaker 1>offense with Chase Garber's and what Chris Brown in the

0:44:13.760 --> 0:44:17.840
<v Speaker 1>backfield when everybody was healthy there. And it's a bummer,

0:44:17.960 --> 0:44:20.200
<v Speaker 1>but you can get Illinois in the Red Box Bowl

0:44:20.280 --> 0:44:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and beat up Illinois down a number of players on

0:44:23.040 --> 0:44:25.600
<v Speaker 1>both sides of the ball. But this wasn't an ALLIONI

0:44:25.680 --> 0:44:27.399
<v Speaker 1>team who was putting a ton of points on teams

0:44:27.520 --> 0:44:30.000
<v Speaker 1>or completely shutting them down. It was a nice improved

0:44:30.080 --> 0:44:33.600
<v Speaker 1>story for the Allion I and Cal does a great

0:44:33.680 --> 0:44:36.279
<v Speaker 1>job on defense. I said, Haven Weaver set some records

0:44:36.520 --> 0:44:41.480
<v Speaker 1>and it was expected, I guess would be what I

0:44:41.480 --> 0:44:44.319
<v Speaker 1>would say. Cal scoring thirty five is new. That's sort

0:44:44.360 --> 0:44:45.520
<v Speaker 1>of a new sensation to me.

0:44:45.640 --> 0:44:49.040
<v Speaker 2>But I don't think Illinois could expect much given you

0:44:49.080 --> 0:44:51.120
<v Speaker 2>know who they are and who they were missing. So

0:44:51.239 --> 0:44:54.160
<v Speaker 2>good for Cal, good for Illinois. Hey, sometimes it's just

0:44:54.200 --> 0:44:54.840
<v Speaker 2>a good story.

0:44:55.120 --> 0:44:58.280
<v Speaker 1>In the Liberty Bowl, we had Navy twenty to seventeen

0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:02.080
<v Speaker 1>over k State. Fun weird game. Yeah, one weird game,

0:45:02.440 --> 0:45:07.200
<v Speaker 1>very weird game. We had Cincinnati all over Boston College.

0:45:07.200 --> 0:45:09.120
<v Speaker 1>We all saw this one coming a mile away. But

0:45:09.640 --> 0:45:12.840
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight to six. In the Birmingham Bowl. Cincinnati wins

0:45:14.000 --> 0:45:19.440
<v Speaker 1>Western Kentucky by three over Western Michigan, twenty three to

0:45:19.520 --> 0:45:25.600
<v Speaker 1>twenty in the First Responder Bowl, and Wyoming by twenty one,

0:45:25.680 --> 0:45:29.799
<v Speaker 1>thirty eight to seventeen over Georgia State in the oft

0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:31.160
<v Speaker 1>forgotten Arizona Bowl.

0:45:31.640 --> 0:45:34.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well let's start there. Xavion Valaday. They built the

0:45:34.800 --> 0:45:37.520
<v Speaker 2>whole thing out of him for Wyoming. He's sensational both

0:45:37.560 --> 0:45:39.359
<v Speaker 2>through the air, big play dude, and on the ground

0:45:39.400 --> 0:45:40.760
<v Speaker 2>goes for over two hundred yards.

0:45:41.080 --> 0:45:41.640
<v Speaker 1>Wyoming.

0:45:41.960 --> 0:45:44.239
<v Speaker 2>I think we both liked Wyoming in this one. In

0:45:44.280 --> 0:45:48.600
<v Speaker 2>the Nova Home Loans. That's right, Arizona Bowl. You mentioned

0:45:48.840 --> 0:45:52.239
<v Speaker 2>what Western Michigan Western Kentucky as good a game as

0:45:52.680 --> 0:45:55.680
<v Speaker 2>the Hilltoppers had on offense. The job they did in

0:45:55.719 --> 0:45:59.240
<v Speaker 2>coming back and winning against Levonte Bellamy and this Western offense.

0:45:59.280 --> 0:46:03.359
<v Speaker 2>Western Michigan offense I thought was pretty admirable. Kansas State

0:46:03.520 --> 0:46:06.439
<v Speaker 2>did a whole lot of bending but actually didn't break

0:46:06.480 --> 0:46:08.759
<v Speaker 2>too often against a Navy team that ran all over them.

0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:12.040
<v Speaker 2>But Navy with that late suffocating drive that ends as

0:46:12.080 --> 0:46:15.359
<v Speaker 2>the clock hit zero field goal, nice win for them.

0:46:15.520 --> 0:46:18.520
<v Speaker 2>They have some missed opportunities very early on. Skyler Thompson

0:46:18.640 --> 0:46:23.360
<v Speaker 2>really struggled against this Navy defense and Kansas State really

0:46:23.400 --> 0:46:26.560
<v Speaker 2>struggled between I guess the twenties against this Navy offense.

0:46:26.640 --> 0:46:29.120
<v Speaker 2>So eleven wins for Navy after a pretty down twenty

0:46:29.160 --> 0:46:33.000
<v Speaker 2>eighteen I color me impressed, high? Yeah, color me impressed.

0:46:33.000 --> 0:46:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Sure. The final game you mentioned was what Cincinnati and

0:46:36.880 --> 0:46:37.640
<v Speaker 1>Boston College.

0:46:37.680 --> 0:46:40.439
<v Speaker 2>Cincinnati Boston College, Yeah BC, didn't I mean AJ Dillon

0:46:40.520 --> 0:46:42.919
<v Speaker 2>sitting out, they lose, they fire their coach they're without

0:46:42.920 --> 0:46:46.359
<v Speaker 2>their coordinator. It's just not going to happen for BC.

0:46:46.520 --> 0:46:49.239
<v Speaker 2>But Cincinnati a relatively easy way to get to what

0:46:49.280 --> 0:46:52.560
<v Speaker 2>they finished with eleven wins, wins, only losing to a

0:46:52.600 --> 0:46:54.760
<v Speaker 2>playoff team in a new Year six team in Ohio

0:46:54.760 --> 0:46:58.279
<v Speaker 2>State and Memphis. A nice complete win for Cincinnati as

0:46:58.280 --> 0:46:59.880
<v Speaker 2>they head into next year with a lot of promise

0:47:00.120 --> 0:47:04.360
<v Speaker 2>young talent. I don't think you mentioned Ohio Nevada, Ohio.

0:47:06.200 --> 0:47:09.040
<v Speaker 2>I guess Weather's a late comeback effort, but they jump

0:47:09.080 --> 0:47:10.520
<v Speaker 2>out to a pretty big lead here. I think they

0:47:10.520 --> 0:47:13.480
<v Speaker 2>were up thirty to nine going into the fourth quarter.

0:47:13.640 --> 0:47:16.799
<v Speaker 2>And the end of Nathan Rourke's career ends with a win,

0:47:17.200 --> 0:47:20.040
<v Speaker 2>and the end of Frank Solich and Nathan Rourke's time

0:47:20.120 --> 0:47:24.320
<v Speaker 2>together ends with Frank Solich being doused in French fries.

0:47:24.760 --> 0:47:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, right in the famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Dulane

0:47:30.480 --> 0:47:34.280
<v Speaker 2>Monster third quarter after a sluggish first half, comfortably beating

0:47:34.320 --> 0:47:37.520
<v Speaker 2>Southern Miss And as of recording, I think that those

0:47:37.520 --> 0:47:38.320
<v Speaker 2>are all the games.

0:47:38.480 --> 0:47:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Those are all the games. We've got two left. We've

0:47:41.239 --> 0:47:46.279
<v Speaker 1>got the Lending Tree Bowl Louisiana against Miami Ohio. Again.

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:49.920
<v Speaker 1>We talked about that one before Louisiana a pretty big favorite.

0:47:49.920 --> 0:47:52.200
<v Speaker 1>We'll have to wait and see if Billy Napier has

0:47:52.360 --> 0:47:55.440
<v Speaker 1>ties to that Mississippi State job. And then there's the

0:47:55.880 --> 0:48:00.839
<v Speaker 1>big Tamali. Yeah. Next Monday, January the thirteenth, it is

0:48:00.960 --> 0:48:03.479
<v Speaker 1>number one LSU at fourteen and oh it is number

0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:06.640
<v Speaker 1>three Clemson also at fourteen and oh they're playing the

0:48:06.680 --> 0:48:08.520
<v Speaker 1>championship game in New Orleans, so a bit of a

0:48:08.560 --> 0:48:12.759
<v Speaker 1>home crowd for LSU, I'd say so in the Superdome.

0:48:12.840 --> 0:48:15.200
<v Speaker 1>Currently they are a five and a half point favorite

0:48:15.200 --> 0:48:19.880
<v Speaker 1>over Clemson over under about sixty nine and one half.

0:48:20.560 --> 0:48:23.680
<v Speaker 1>Here is our plan. We're going to preview this game

0:48:23.719 --> 0:48:27.680
<v Speaker 1>about midweek or so. We can't do it yet because

0:48:27.719 --> 0:48:30.440
<v Speaker 1>all the fun little props that we like to include

0:48:30.480 --> 0:48:33.360
<v Speaker 1>as part of the coverage they're not out yet. Okay,

0:48:33.800 --> 0:48:35.560
<v Speaker 1>so we got to give it a few days, let

0:48:35.600 --> 0:48:37.480
<v Speaker 1>the bookmakers do their things so we can have fun

0:48:37.520 --> 0:48:42.279
<v Speaker 1>with it. Hopefully midweek or so, sure, talk turkey. And

0:48:42.320 --> 0:48:45.680
<v Speaker 1>then after that you and I will convene next Monday

0:48:45.719 --> 0:48:48.440
<v Speaker 1>night to watch the game and Tuesday morning, bright and

0:48:48.440 --> 0:48:50.560
<v Speaker 1>early to recap the National Championship.

0:48:51.320 --> 0:48:53.040
<v Speaker 2>All right, I'm ready, I mean, maybe this will be

0:48:53.080 --> 0:48:56.400
<v Speaker 2>our penultimate Tues Cruise, depending on when we record it.

0:48:56.400 --> 0:48:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we'll structure the National Championship preview the way we

0:49:00.040 --> 0:49:03.239
<v Speaker 2>structured twos cruise. We could do that with various activities.

0:49:03.280 --> 0:49:05.080
<v Speaker 1>We could do that. You're out how we feel. It's

0:49:05.120 --> 0:49:07.600
<v Speaker 1>like a real cruise ship when you've got different activities

0:49:07.640 --> 0:49:11.120
<v Speaker 1>you can do, like the flow Rider pool that.

0:49:11.239 --> 0:49:14.160
<v Speaker 2>We'll do a midnight pizza buffet, we'll have it all.

0:49:14.680 --> 0:49:18.400
<v Speaker 2>We'll recap the National Championship either late Monday night or

0:49:18.520 --> 0:49:22.080
<v Speaker 2>probably early Tuesday and get that out pretty quickly. And

0:49:22.960 --> 0:49:26.920
<v Speaker 2>otherwise we just sail into the off season with an

0:49:27.000 --> 0:49:29.720
