1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Welcome to the solid verbal Hell.

2
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 2: That for me, I'm a man, I'm forty. I've heard

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: so many players say, well, I want to be happy.

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: You want to be happy for day at the State?

5
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 3: Is that?

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 4: Whoo whoom?

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: And Dan and tie, Dan Rubinstein.

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: It was an odd week for.

9
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: A lot of us out there who rely on something

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:29,159
Speaker 1: called YouTube TV, you know, to keep track of the

11
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: games going on. Yeah, we had a little bit of

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 1: a dispute apparently between YouTube and Disney, and a good

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: number of the games were just not available to many

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: of us in the viewing public. I am not a

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: media reporter.

16
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: It felt an awful lot like a shakedown of people

17
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: trying to get us to subscribe to the ESPN app.

18
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: But we will not make the show about that.

19
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 5: Dan.

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: We can, we can, we probably should.

21
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: But instead, let's talk about some of the chaos we

22
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: saw in the ACC. Let's talk about some SEC escape artists.

23
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: Let's talk maybe about some clarity in the Big twelve

24
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: and beyond Dan. Let's talk about Hugh Freeze maybe coaching

25
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: his last game at Auburn. Perhaps they're scoring three points

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: at home against arguably the worst team in the SEC.

27
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: Welcome for ballerhood.

28
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 2: I am ty.

29
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: He is Dan. On today's episode, we are here to

30
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: recap all that week ten had in store. We do

31
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: have a game going on right now between Cincinnati and Utah,

32
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: as well as your Dodgers in the World Series Game

33
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 1: seven extra innings.

34
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 2: So we're in the what are we going into now?

35
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: The top of the eleventh I think the bottom of

36
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: the tenth. No, the Blue Jays went one, two, three.

37
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: By the time you listen to this, this is going

38
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: to be meaningless, obviously, but Yamamoto took him down first one.

39
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: Okay, that's right, that's right. So on top of the eleventh,

40
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: so we will get some real time reactions provided that

41
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: the game is over by the time we're done. I

42
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: guess nothing should be taken for granted given the way

43
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,559
Speaker 1: the series has gone, Dan.

44
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 2: But alas here we are yes to talk about college

45
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: for week ten. My friend, how are you? I'm good.

46
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: I have a lot of thoughts. I nicknamed it Scalpel Saturday,

47
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: and in a lot of instances it was when I

48
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: say Scalpel Saturday, colon, rip.

49
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: Them apart, rip them apart.

50
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of instances that was apt, and there

51
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 2: were even if it wasn't like what Baylor beating UCF.

52
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 2: That felt surgical to me, the way that Baylor got

53
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: off the field on third down. You probably didn't expect

54
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: us to lead with Baylor UCF right after the eleventh

55
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: inning of the World Series. But we keep you on

56
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: your toes. No, there were a lot of you know,

57
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 2: there were a lot of offensive performances, defensive performances that

58
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: just got it right in week ten. So I'm very

59
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 2: excited to talk about this. You had a weird Notre

60
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: Dame Penn State, I suppose Saturday. Oregon didn't play this week,

61
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: and across the sport though, I got a lot of thoughts,

62
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 2: and we've got a lot to say. Number eight, Georgia Tech,

63
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 2: number nine, Vanderbilt, number ten, Miami, number fourteen Tennessee, and

64
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: number twenty two Houston.

65
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,839
Speaker 1: Five top twenty five teams all go down. We will

66
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: see what this late night game has in store. Between

67
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Utah. Last chech Utah was up fairly significantly,

68
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: but it was still relatively early.

69
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 2: So a lot going on.

70
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: Why don't we start, though, with the one that I

71
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: think really got the day started. It wasn't necessarily a

72
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: loss by the highest ranked team this week, but the

73
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: SMU Miami game is one that definitely animated a number

74
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: of folks that write into us. You and I of course,

75
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: were doing a little bit and just kind of dipped

76
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: our toes in on a watch a long stream at

77
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: some point this afternoon. Obviously had some stuff to talk

78
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: about with this Miami SMU game. But twenty six to

79
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: twenty was your final. The game was played at SMU.

80
00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: It did go into overtime. I think the bigger national

81
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: story is probably that Miami's playoff run essentially ended right

82
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: with this loss. The more zoomed in, maybe the more

83
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: nuanced view is that SMU didn't play a perfect game,

84
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: but SMU got some clutch play when they needed it

85
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 1: out of Kevin Jennings, his receivers, their defense and crunch

86
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: time and especially in overtime to get a hard fought win.

87
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: This is what I tend to look for this time

88
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: of year.

89
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: It is not.

90
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: Teams blowing out other teams, though there is certainly a

91
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: place for that. But the deeper you get into the season,

92
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: as teams start getting a little bit nicked up, start

93
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: getting a little bit more tired, start getting maybe googly

94
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: eyed over what the future could have in store, for

95
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 1: them with respect to their conferences, perhaps the playoffs. It

96
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: is teams that find ways to win ugly when they

97
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: have to, and SMU did that. Yes, So I don't

98
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: want to make this all about Miami. I want to

99
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: credit SMU. They did just give RHT Lashley a big

100
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: contract extension and it advance of this game. What a

101
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: better way to celebrate it than to knock off the

102
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,559
Speaker 1: number ten team in the land.

103
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: Yes, Miami in a lot of ways did not play

104
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 2: winning football right that they struggled at times, obviously Kevin

105
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: Jennings had his injury. They were able to take advantage

106
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 2: of opportunities, which is what quality teams do. SMU is

107
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: definitely quality, but they're not where they were last year.

108
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:28,839
Speaker 2: Dodgers just hit a home run I saw Will Smith. Sorry, Tyd,

109
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 2: this is the best you're going to get from me.

110
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: It's a plane. Miami had what twelve penalties for ninety

111
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 2: some odd yards, some of which were to me, kind

112
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 2: of bush league calls. There was questionable officiating, and we

113
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: can lead every show with that, like, yes, we acknowledge

114
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: there's questionable officiating in each of these games. There are

115
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: calls that are to go against your team. That you

116
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: can't believe, and you're right in this instance, Miami was

117
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: just a sloppy team today. At times they weren't getting

118
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: the explosion plays that they needed. At times consistently, they

119
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 2: ran the ball fine. Carson Beck's first interception was not

120
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 2: his fault. That was on the receiver. The game ceiling

121
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,559
Speaker 2: or the interception that helped to set up the game

122
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 2: winning run for SMU in overtime was his fault. He

123
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: was late and he threw it directly to an SMU

124
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 2: player over the middle. That was on him. And it

125
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 2: just seems like Miami right now can't figure out different

126
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: ways to win when they need to, and you're right,

127
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: and it's just the circumstance of their season that they're

128
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: now effectively out of the playoff race, even if they

129
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 2: finished ten and two. With the way the math looks

130
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: in the ACC right now, with how wide open at

131
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: the top, though, well, Georgia Tech with a lot like

132
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 2: it is, you know, it's getting a little bit wild,

133
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: but it's you know, those third I think it was

134
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 2: one third down and one fourth down where Miami decided

135
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: to run it straight up the middle into like a

136
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: nine man box like I've seen that as an organ fan,

137
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 2: you've seen that as a fan of a team that

138
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: makes bad calls in those spots. I don't know if

139
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: Mario Christaball is leaning on Shannon Dawson to make those calls,

140
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: but it seems like in a number of ways this

141
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: offense just gets worse by the week as well.

142
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean sort it. So what's interesting is and

143
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: people who listen to this show and have for a

144
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: while know the deal with us in crystal Ball. We

145
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: have never been shy about the Crystal Ball criticism, especially

146
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: in these late game situations. I watched this in real time.

147
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: I know you did too. I watched it back after

148
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: the fact just to make sure I didn't miss anything.

149
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: This was a different kind of loss than the one

150
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: that we talk about a lot when we do the

151
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: dunk fest on Mario. It is not because of games

152
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: like this. This wasn't so much a game that they

153
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: lost for being conservative. This was a game they lost

154
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: because they were sloppy. You mentioned the penalty right twelve

155
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: for ninety six yards, as I know you do. I

156
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: often go out the state of the U Great Miami

157
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: website talks about these types of games with a lot

158
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: of personality and one of the things that they brought

159
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: up in the aftermath of this one was, hey, crystal

160
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: Ball has been talking about fixing this this penalty issue

161
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: now for three months. Doesn't seem like it's fixed. If anything,

162
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: it's getting a little bit worse. And it wasn't so

163
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: much just penalties. It was critical mistakes. It was a

164
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: bobble by Jojo Trader, who had a good game otherwise,

165
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: but a bobble that handed an interception.

166
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: Just a bad play doesn't mean it's a bad player.

167
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, over to SMU. It was obviously, as you mentioned,

168
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: that interception by Carson beckdown at the goal line, a

169
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 1: badly underthrown ball at the goal line in overtime that

170
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: essentially ended the game. So as you said, yeah, Miami's

171
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: not going to play for the ACC They're most likely

172
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: not going to play in the playoff. From Brad Powers

173
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: out on x Twitter, whatever you want to call it,

174
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: crystal Ball is now seven to five in his last

175
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: twelve games. That includes four losses in which the Canes

176
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: were favored by at least seven points. So that is

177
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,079
Speaker 1: not a great look, and I'm sure there is a

178
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: frustration throughout the Miami fan base. One final word though

179
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 1: on SMU, because this is a big win for SMU. Yeah,

180
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: Kevin Jennings is an absolute menace. He is an absolute menace.

181
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 1: No play is ever over when you've got Kevin Jennings.

182
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,199
Speaker 2: Well, and he almost not to cut you off. I'm

183
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,839
Speaker 2: gonna cut you off real quickly. They couldn't run the

184
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 2: ball today, They couldn't run the ball. No, it was

185
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 2: he had to be he had entire Yes, the entire

186
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: offense had to be anything he could figure out on

187
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 2: the fly buying time.

188
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so between him and Jordan Hudson, yes, the

189
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: other Jordan Hudson. They had a monster game. And they

190
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: are not out of this ACC race. They are going

191
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: to need to win out. They are going to need

192
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: to get some help from Virginia, from Duke. They got

193
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of help perhaps from Georgia Tech here,

194
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: which we'll talk about in a second. But again, I

195
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: think the encouraging takeaway for SMU, as you say all

196
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: the time, winning is a skill. Can you win a

197
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: game like this against a good team when you're not

198
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: at your best? In they did it? They did it.

199
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: Twenty six to twenty was your final in overtime? A

200
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: mammoth mammoth mammoth win for SMU. What a better way

201
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: to celebrate.

202
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 2: Yeah. Obviously, also the connective tissue with Rhet Lashley coaching

203
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: with Many Diaz at Miami bringing over Miami transfers to SMU.

204
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 2: Not that there's necessarily bad blood, but obviously there is

205
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 2: a you know, the overlap across this sport is vast

206
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: and very cool to see for SMU. They rushed the field.

207
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 2: This was still a playoff team last year. It was

208
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 2: That's not a term we've used about Miami, but good

209
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 2: for SMU. And you know, if you're a Miami fan,

210
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 2: you try to take some of the positives away from

211
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 2: this game and hope that they can finish strong. It's

212
00:10:41,880 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: a weird sport, it's a weird conference. You never know.

213
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: I hope Miami can somehow some ways stay locked in

214
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 2: or get more locked in.

215
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: The chaos in the ACC did not just end there.

216
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: This evening, we saw NC State knockoff Georgia Tech forty

217
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: eight to thirty six I believe was the final score.

218
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: They were a lot of points in this one. There

219
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 1: were a lot of points in Duke's shootout win over

220
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 1: Clemson forty six to forty five. Earlier in the day,

221
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: and though there weren't as many points, I thought a

222
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: solid effort from Virginia, which went on the road and

223
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: beat cal by a thirty one to twenty one score.

224
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: So the way that the ACC is shaping up, and

225
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: I do want to talk a little bit more about

226
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: this Georgia Tech NC State game. But weirdly enough, Duke

227
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: and Virginia, which play and I believe two weeks are

228
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: in a very very advantageous position down the stretch here.

229
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: Georgia Tech is still very much in this thing despite

230
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: their loss. But alas, we've got Duke, We've got Virginia,

231
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 1: We've got some different teams this time around at the

232
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: top of the ACC, and they just keep winning.

233
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: Buddy, Virginia's went eight and one. Yeah, Duke takes down

234
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 2: Clemson forty six forty five going for two. Yeah, I mean,

235
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 2: it's cartoonish, It's ridiculous. I love the ACC so very

236
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: much because every well, look, I watched as much of

237
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 2: the Georgia Tech game as I could. This team was

238
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 2: not bad at all on offense. This every time I

239
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 2: looked up, Haynes King was making another play. And it

240
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: just so happens that their defense was abused by NC State,

241
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: and you know what, good for NC State, good for

242
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: the ACC. Happy to see it. I like this. The

243
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: wide open nature of this all is terrific across basically

244
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 2: every conference but the Big Ten.

245
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 1: Right now, well that's true. I mean, we've got so

246
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: many wide open conferences. As you said, three of the

247
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: four I think more likely than not are going to

248
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: have some odd tie breaking situations. We would be here

249
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: for three hours trying to talk through all of them

250
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: in the ACC. When you and I did a little

251
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: afternoon stream, I talked through a couple of them on

252
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: the ACC side, and it really does not take much

253
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: to really throw the whole thing into more of a tailspin.

254
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: But right now I would much rather be Duke. I'd

255
00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: much rather be Vergin.

256
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 2: Then.

257
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,760
Speaker 1: Obviously a team like Miami and SMU was still like

258
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: kind of on the periphery, would need a lot of help.

259
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: But I think what makes it interesting for the verballer hood.

260
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 1: As I know many people have written in and talked

261
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: about this over the years, there's some new teams up there.

262
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: There's a pretty good chance we can get a new

263
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: team in the playoff, or at least a new series

264
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: of teams in the ACC Championship game. You're right to

265
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: say that Georgia Tech looked pretty good everywhere other than defense.

266
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 2: Other than arguably the most important side of the ball.

267
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech was right there.

268
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: I mean, every time I looked up, it was either

269
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: Haines King doing something amazing or NC State going on

270
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: a long chunk play and scoring more points for them

271
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: to put up forty eight points on Georgia Tech here.

272
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: I remember coming into this game when we previewed it

273
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: on Thursday, the line was Georgia Tech minus five and

274
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: a half and it kind of felt a little fishy

275
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 1: to us, right, like, why is this where where it's sad?

276
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 1: Even though Tech has had some close games along the way, here,

277
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: five and a half just didn't didn't fully track, but

278
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: we both did steer into it. I'm glad we did

279
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: NC State with a big win now, knocking Georgia Tech

280
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 1: from the ranks of the unbeaten.

281
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech entered into this game as like the number

282
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: forty seven or forty eight points per drive defense in America,

283
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: which is a number that's unheard of, and I don't

284
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: think it's an accident. They've been great in the red zone.

285
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 2: They will be good again. But as we talked about,

286
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: this was not a perfect Georgia Tech team after that

287
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 2: Clemson win, and I think they're still going to be

288
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 2: really good.

289
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 1: It absolutely was does so. The Duke game was pure chaos.

290
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: I think in the best way possibly. He had a

291
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 1: full blown shootout. Neither team was very interested in defense

292
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: or in converting on third downs. Duke was three or fourteen,

293
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: Clemson was three for ten, but oddly they were combined

294
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 1: eight for eight on fourth down, which kind of added

295
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of flavor.

296
00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 2: Yeah to this one.

297
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: A great game for Darian Mensa. He was basically the

298
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: entirety of Duke's offense through for three sixty one. Again,

299
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: they are in prime position now to finish first in

300
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: the ACC via tiebreaker moving forward, and just to put

301
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: a bow on the ACC. We had Virginia winning this

302
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: game on the road thirty one to twenty one. They

303
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: came out firing, They jumped out to a quick lead.

304
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,720
Speaker 1: It was not exactly a runaway train of a game,

305
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: but I thought it was a pretty solid effort. It

306
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: would have been, I think a little easier of a

307
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: win had it not been for a missfield goal. Earlier

308
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: in the game, and then there was a fake field

309
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: goal that they attempted and didn't convert. On that being said,

310
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: I still thought the Whos were pretty sharp. They kept

311
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 1: the chains moving. They were like ten of nineteen on

312
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: third den.

313
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 2: Well, the they were better on the ground today, better

314
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: on the ground two weeks. So it was nice to

315
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: see Jamari Taylor lead the way.

316
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: It was a balanced effort. So they took care of

317
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: business in a spot that I know a lot of

318
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 1: people who had emailed us and written to us on

319
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 1: social media thought that maybe Cal could pull the upset here.

320
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: But Cal just couldn't get any traction. They got like

321
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: eight rushing yards on twenty five carries.

322
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: No, and they still have a true freshman quarterback. Though

323
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: you know he showed this spark earlier in the season,

324
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: he has struggled. He has you know, struggled with turnovers.

325
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 2: He has been at best inconsistent these last few weeks.

326
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 2: So to be expected the ups and downs of starting

327
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: a true freshman at quarterback, and hopefully they have the

328
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: stomach to ride this train for the next year, two, three,

329
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 2: four years, whatever, because he's shown a lot. But the

330
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 2: story here is, you know, Virginia. To me, you look

331
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: at Virginia, maybe BYU, maybe Georgia, Hey, maybe Minnesota. Like

332
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: they're excavators, right, they need to find those winds in

333
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 2: the dirt. Dodger just won the world. I saw that.

334
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: I was going to congratulate you anyway.

335
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: Holy Moley with a double play with Vladimir Guerrero on third.

336
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 2: I am trying to maintain com I'm gonna just take

337
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 2: one second here, real quick, tie off, Mike, WHOA, Okay,

338
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: there we go.

339
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: All right.

340
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: The excavators right that they're the winds aren't always a parent.

341
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 2: The winds aren't always apparent on the ground, but they're digging,

342
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 2: they're brushing, and they find them. And it's a super

343
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 2: impressive quality to have, especially for your program like Virginia

344
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 2: that has been searching for quite some time.

345
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 1: So that is the state of affairs in the ACC.

346
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,680
Speaker 1: There were some other games, Pitt one big. By the way,

347
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: Pitt still has a role to play in all of this.

348
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: We will get to that, I'm sure in due course

349
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: over the next few weeks. But if you are interested

350
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: in chaos, as I know many people are, the ACC

351
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: is sort of where it's at. The SEC should not

352
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: be overlooked in this capacity either. So we had this

353
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:36,159
Speaker 1: Georgia Florida Game number five, Georgia unranked Florida. This was

354
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: Florida's first game without Billy Napier interim coach Billy Gonzales.

355
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: The question was what kind of Gator squad are we

356
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: going to see here?

357
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 2: True?

358
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 1: And this ended up being a great back and forth game,

359
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: a great back and forth game, and you said it

360
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:56,800
Speaker 1: time and again, and I give you credit for it.

361
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,919
Speaker 2: Hold on me, let me settle in for this. Okay.

362
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: The point was not that Florida was in any kind

363
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 1: of tailspin. Obviously the results weren't there. But I think

364
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:11,959
Speaker 1: the underlying point that you have been trying to emphasize

365
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 1: with Florida is that this is still a very talented

366
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: team that could be pretty good. It is still the

367
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,479
Speaker 1: same roster. They were just not translating all of that

368
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:25,520
Speaker 1: into wins, into consistency. And so in this one, they

369
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: came to play, as we often see in big robberies.

370
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: They came to play. The offense showed some nice pop

371
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: with chunk plays. It's frustrating because even when you have

372
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: better Florida performances like this, it still feels like they

373
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: are leaving some meat on the bone, you know, like

374
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: j Lagway has such a high ceiling, I think we

375
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: can see it still a couple throws out there where

376
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: man is just like, if he makes a couple more

377
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,239
Speaker 1: of these, if he's a little bit more accurate, this

378
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: game gets turned on it's ear, maybe has it a

379
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: little bit of a different result.

380
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 2: But he's he's easily in the running for the least

381
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 2: bores in College Football Player of twenty five. Like the bumbles,

382
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: the interceptions, the runs, the incredible throws, the improv like

383
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: the tantalizing talent on display, and the boneheaded errors are

384
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: just constant and fun for me as somebody who doesn't

385
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 2: care if Florida wins or loses. But I'm sure matting

386
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: for Florida fans, and I'm sure there's you know, something

387
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: to that with a couple of recent Florida quarterbacks as well.

388
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 1: Florida had a shot in this one, a legit shot

389
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: in this one, and they were up for you know,

390
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: plenty of time in this game, but Georgia ends up

391
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: winning twenty four to twenty. If you'll allow me a

392
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: little bit of dog humor right now, Dan, please, I

393
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: jotted down here that Georgia is technically the Bulldogs, but

394
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: they play more like huskies. And what I mean by

395
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: that is anyone who's had a husky knows that huskies

396
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: are infamous for being escape artists. I talk to a guy,

397
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: one of the guys who's helping me. We have my shoulder,

398
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 1: which is still not right. He was telling me about

399
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 1: his husky this week that proceeded to jump over a

400
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 1: three foot fence, and they made it higher. It got

401
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 1: out of a six foot fence. Then they sort of

402
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: tried to put stuff in front of it so it

403
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 1: couldn't jump over it, at which point the dog dug

404
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: under it. They're just very good at being escape artists.

405
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: Sweet dogs, but very good at getting out of confined spaces.

406
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 1: And it really feels like that is Georgia. It really

407
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: feels like that is Georgia's identity right now. They are

408
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: a one loss team. They escaped close losses and came

409
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,560
Speaker 1: away with wins against Tennessee, Ole Miss and now this

410
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: one against Florida. Again, to your point of winning being

411
00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 1: a skill, Georgia has that. It's not always pretty, but

412
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: they have that, and they have a quarterback and gunner Stockton,

413
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: who just finds a way. They've got a receiver, a

414
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: transfer receiver in Zacharia Branch who is kind of growing

415
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 1: into this and finding ways to come up big in

416
00:20:58,920 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: key spots.

417
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: They're not perfect. Nobody in the SEC is perfect. Nobody

418
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 2: in college.

419
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: Football is perfect, maybe outside of Ohio State or Indiana, right,

420
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: but they're finding ways to get the job done against

421
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: good teams. And you know, I don't really know how

422
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: else to frame it other than to say that George

423
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: is going to be a tough out and they are

424
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 1: playing like Huskies.

425
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an I don't have a better I mean,

426
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: I said, excavators, I apologize for stepping on your line

427
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 2: of thinking. I think both are true. And in this one, look,

428
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 2: Georgia wasn't always running well. Obviously, a huge run sealed

429
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 2: this one. Eventually two or three huge runs sealed it.

430
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: There was a pretty big mental error late for Florida

431
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 2: with that penalty the off jumping off sides. But the

432
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: way Georgia plays and Gunnar Stockton wasn't perfect, but he

433
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 2: made some damn good throws. They made plays, and they're

434
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: coached well enough and they execute well enough at the

435
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 2: end of games. Knowing that they're playing against other college

436
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: students and that mistakes are going to happen. So if

437
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter they're just a little bit cleaner, right,

438
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: if they're just a little bit more prepared to do

439
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: boring quality things, you're going to win. After Tennessee misses

440
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 2: a field goal, right that you're just still locked in.

441
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 2: You're going to win. When Florida has opportunities but can't

442
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 2: put it together on offense, you're going to win a

443
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: lot of those games if you are just the team

444
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 2: shooting yourself in the foot less. Obviously they have a

445
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 2: you know, I think it was what Noah Thomas, the

446
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 2: ball tipped off of his hands for a pick that

447
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: set up a field goal, and so like quality moment

448
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 2: from Florida. But Florida also needed tho like the huge

449
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 2: pass to Trey Wilson, and then they needed the pass

450
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: that look like it may have been caught after the

451
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: DJ Lagways scramble and heave downfield that like maybe arms

452
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: were scooped under a ball, but like you couldn't really tell,

453
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 2: and it was reviewed and there was no like That's

454
00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 2: what Florida needed to win this game. Whereas Georgia didn't

455
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 2: need those kind of plays. And that's the difference right

456
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 2: now between these two teams. George is not a perfect team.

457
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 2: They're very beatable by a number of teams in this country,

458
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: but they won't beat themselves in the way that ninety

459
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 2: seven percent of teams will at the end of games.

460
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 2: And it shows, you know, with the Auburn game went out,

461
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,919
Speaker 2: with this game, with the Old Miss game, it's just

462
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 2: look that the Bama game didn't work out. But Bama's

463
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: also happens to be of that caliber. And I just yeah,

464
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 2: they're finding ways.

465
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: They're finding ways, and both of these teams, I often

466
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: frame it, maybe this isn't the right way to do it,

467
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: but I often talk about teams that have a pretty

468
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 1: big part to play as we get into the month

469
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: of November, and both of these teams, by hook or

470
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,919
Speaker 1: by crook, are in that position. You know, Georgia obviously

471
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 1: is trying to play to get back into that SEC

472
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 1: title game. Right now, they're not in it, but there's

473
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: a chance that if some things in front of them break,

474
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:53,880
Speaker 1: they could very easily find themselves or another SEC crown. Again,

475
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,199
Speaker 1: it depends on what happens. Sort of the remainder of

476
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: their schedule, but some of the teams in front of them.

477
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: They do have a spot against Techs, which I think

478
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: will be pretty big in a couple weeks. But that's

479
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: the main one that I think could really be significant

480
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: with respect to this SEC title chase. They are at

481
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: home for that game in a couple weeks, but that

482
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: is one that I think is big to kind of

483
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: circle on the calendar. And on the Florida side, look,

484
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: Florida is on the road at Ole, Miss Florida is

485
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: on the road at Kentucky. Kentucky. Not necessarily involved in

486
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,399
Speaker 1: the title chase, but very active. Let's say on the

487
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,480
Speaker 1: coaching carousel side, Well, they won't pay with Mark Stoops.

488
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: Clearly there's a game coming up here. It's a bit

489
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: of a rivalry against Tennessee. That one's at home in

490
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: the Swamp Tennessee. I don't know if Tennessee is going

491
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 1: to be ranked after this recent loss that we can

492
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 1: talk about in a second against Oklahoma, but Tennessee is

493
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: obviously a pretty good team one way or another. Whether

494
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: they're in the title chase or not. It'll be curious

495
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: to see. I'll be curious to see what it looks

496
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: like when Tennessee visits a swamp and then of course

497
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 1: there's a big one at the end of the year

498
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: against Florida State, which talk about be coaching carousel adjacent.

499
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 1: Florida's fired its coach, Kentucky could fire its coach. Yeah,

500
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: who knows what's to come with Florida State and Mike Norvel.

501
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: So a great interesting road for both of these schools

502
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,479
Speaker 1: as we get now into the home stretch here throughout

503
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: the month of November, how much of the Tennessee Oklahoma game.

504
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 2: Were exactly exactly where I was going to go, just

505
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 2: sort of speaking of teams, not outside of the SEC

506
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 2: championship race, but just sort of paying attention, peering in,

507
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 2: like you know the Sickos photo, right, that's where Oklahoma

508
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: is right now. They're not sickos, but they're sicko adjacent.

509
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 2: I watched this game. I had this side by side

510
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 2: with the Dodger game all evening and it was a

511
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 2: fascinating watch. And the thing we talked about heading into

512
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: this game was perhaps how underrated Tennessee was on the

513
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 2: ground and how that was pacing things for this offense

514
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 2: and helping out to play not complimentary football, but to

515
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: pick up the load, whereas where the defense has been

516
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:09,439
Speaker 2: struggling in the back end. Tennessee couldn't run the ball tonight. No,

517
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 2: And ultimately that was the difference that Oklahoma wasn't playing,

518
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,840
Speaker 2: wasn't moving the ball, and wasn't scoring points all that

519
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 2: consistently on offense. They had what a scoop and score that.

520
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: What was the injury by the way, to that Oklahoma

521
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: defensive player, did he pull a hamstring when he.

522
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: Was I did not see what the injury was. Yeah, okay,

523
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. I did not see

524
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 1: exactly what the injury was number thirty two. Yeah, But

525
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: there is something about Oklahoma. They got stronger over the

526
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 1: course of the game. They got what they needed out

527
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 1: of Xavier Robinson, who I think to this point has

528
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 1: been sort of an unheralded running back for Oklahoma, not

529
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: a huge expectation on his shoulders. John Matier made plays,

530
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: was far from perfect against Tennessee tonight. But the Oklahoma defense,

531
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: a defense that I think we both had our questions

532
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: about in terms of offense, is face heading into this

533
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: game saying Tennessee on the road was going to be

534
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: an especially challenging test. They didn't pass it against Ole

535
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 1: Miss last week, and what were they going to do

536
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: when faced against another quality offense? And it was take

537
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: advantage of a couple of pretty horrendous Joey Aguilar throws

538
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: and just stay locked in and that I came away

539
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: very impressed with Oklahoma because this was an absolutely losable

540
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 1: performance from the Sooners and they got better after kind

541
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: of looking lackluster for a good chunk of this. Yeah,

542
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: I mean, I also jotted down Tennessee couldn't run, and

543
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: then on top of it, they had three turnovers, two picks,

544
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: one interception. That number actually might be higher. I don't

545
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,360
Speaker 1: even know because I jotted that down before the game

546
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 1: was over. But you know, when you can't run, when

547
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: you're putting it an all on Joey Agilar, who I

548
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: think was fine, But Joey Agilar was the scouting reporter

549
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: in Agilar before he even started his Tennessee career was

550
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: sometimes he's a bit of a gun slinger. He has

551
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,199
Speaker 1: a tendency to force balls over the middle. He trusts

552
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: his arm at times a little too much. Sometimes footwork's

553
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,880
Speaker 1: not there. He's not a perfect specimen, but I think

554
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: he's fine. He's obviously done a pretty good job this season,

555
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 1: and I think we saw a little bit of that

556
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 1: in this game.

557
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: But all told, I come away and pressed.

558
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 1: With I think a lot of what you had to

559
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:21,639
Speaker 1: say with Oklahoma, because I watched this game from start

560
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: to finish. Oklahoma grew into this game in a way

561
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 1: that was really meaningful. You and I were joking at

562
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: one point that I think when Oklahoma had sixteen points,

563
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:35,200
Speaker 1: they had exactly zero offensive touchdowns, right, they had three

564
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: field goals and a defensive scoop and score. Well, that changed, right,

565
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: They grew into the game. They figured out a way

566
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: to chart a path forward. You know, the final score

567
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: here says thirty three twenty seven. I don't know if

568
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: it was necessarily that close because of the way that

569
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 1: this game broke down later later on Tennessee got some

570
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: late points here, sure, But Oklahoma in the manner which

571
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: they kind of put this one away on the road,

572
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: I thought was really impressive because we had questions about

573
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: this offense. I think I even put in the previous

574
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 1: description for the last podcast episode, can Oklahoma score thirty points?

575
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: They hadn't done this Stan, They hadn't scored thirty points.

576
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: So the fact that they went on the road and

577
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 1: score the offense did not to be clear, no thirty

578
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: but yes they were close. But as a team in general,

579
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: they hadn't done this. They hadn't scored more than twenty six.

580
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 1: So the fact that they go on the road against

581
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: the team that I think we still believe is a

582
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 1: pretty good defense, pretty good in general, a very hostile

583
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: spot at night. They've got the whole Blackout theme or

584
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: dark Mode theme whatever they called it going on in

585
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: Neiland Stadia. That's a pretty heavy environment. So to go

586
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: in there to put up thirty three points and to

587
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: beat a top fifteen team in Tennessee, I thought was

588
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:46,160
Speaker 1: damn impressive.

589
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, by the way, Tennessee is still a team

590
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: that can score at any moments. Was that Braylan Staley

591
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,920
Speaker 2: who had the great touchdown run running around like the

592
00:29:56,120 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 2: use the block really nicely. And on the Oklahoma point,

593
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 2: I think you're right about all these things. John Matteer

594
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: is not going to go down in Oklahoma sooner lore

595
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 2: like Baker Mayfield or Sam Bradford or Kyler Murray or

596
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 2: you know what. One year of Jalen Hurts obviously winning

597
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl now, but I think by By the

598
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 2: time it's all done for Matier in Oklahoma, I think

599
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 2: the reaction of Sooner fans will be like, wasn't the best,

600
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 2: but that's my guy. No, it wasn't the best, but man,

601
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 2: was he fun?

602
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: Well, look, everybody wants a guy like that. Yeah, you know,

603
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: everybody wants a guy like that who's a bit of

604
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: a wild card, who clearly can make something out of nothing.

605
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: And those are the guys that tend to get the

606
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: folk tales written about them. I think you called him

607
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: a folk hero at some point. He may not be

608
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: the same level of folk hero as Baker Mayfield, but

609
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: he's fun as hell. Man, fun to watch, and he

610
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 1: had a good game. It didn't start out that way.

611
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: It took him a while going, but eventually he got

612
00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: going on the ground, had some big plays, definitely padded

613
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 1: his stats a little bit through the air as well.

614
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, just a tough guy that you can never

615
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: really count out.

616
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 2: And Tennessee had shots. Tennessee did have shots. They just

617
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: didn't give themselves a consistent opportunity. Where are we going next?

618
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 2: I want to talk about the Big twelve next.

619
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: Let's I want to talk about Texas Tech forty three

620
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: Kansas State twenty. There were aspects of this game that

621
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: reminded me very much of Texas Tech in the way

622
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: that they beat Utah earlier in the year. Just the game,

623
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 1: just the overall tenor of the game.

624
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 2: Like an inevitability of Texas Tech that they can do

625
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 2: a number of things on both sides of the ball,

626
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 2: where you have to be your perfect self on every play.

627
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about that, okay, I'm talking about this

628
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 1: one being really close at halftime twelve to seven, yep,

629
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: correct in favor of the Red Raiders, and then just

630
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 1: like that, they explode for thirty one points in the

631
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: second half. They end up winning this one going away.

632
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: That reminded me a lot of that Utah win. Kind

633
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 1: of felt the same. I came uber impressed by the

634
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: ground game. Again, maybe the numbers weren't as high as

635
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: they've been in the past, but I thought we saw

636
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: some key runs from Jacoby Williams Cameron Dickey. I think

637
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: those guys are really good, and especially as we came

638
00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: into the season wondering what are they going to do

639
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: after they lose Toadge Brooks, these guys have I think

640
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: done an excellent job stepping in not being the same player,

641
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 1: but maybe in the aggregate replacing him to some extent. Right,

642
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: I came away even more impressed by the Texas Tech

643
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 1: defensive front. And it's not necessarily going to show up

644
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: in the box score with a million sacks or pressures

645
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 1: or whatever, but they had Avery Johnson running for his

646
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: life nearly the entire game. So this all sets up

647
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 1: what I think is going to be an absolute monster

648
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: matchup next week suddenly between Texas Tech and BYU.

649
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 2: I think Game Day is going, Game Day should go.

650
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: I believe they're going. It's in Lubbock, correct, It's in Lubbock. Yeah,

651
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 2: I think I believe that was announced that Game Day's gone.

652
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 1: We preview some games on Tuesday. We're absolutely gonna have

653
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: to preview this game. I mean, this is a pretty

654
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: good chance to see an early headliner.

655
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, this is.

656
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 1: More than likely. I don't know where the rankings will

657
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,240
Speaker 1: put Texas Tech after this win, and there were some

658
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: teams in front of them that lost, and you know

659
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 1: BYU is going to benefit from that as well. But

660
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 1: there's a pretty good chance this is going to be

661
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: a top ten matchup between these two teams. And I'm

662
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: damn excited about that. Yeah, so the Texas Tech win

663
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: going away by twenty three points. I can't say enough

664
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: good things about how they focused and how they pulled

665
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: away in the second half.

666
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: Look, you force turnovers, you turn some of them into points.

667
00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 2: You're able to run the ball. You're able to As

668
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 2: you mentioned, the defensive front has been swarming basically all

669
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 2: season long. David Bailey has been a problem consistently. It'll

670
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 2: be very difficult to lose. That's a very difficult formula. Obviously,

671
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 2: quarterback injury is a very clear way where they have

672
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: had some some dips for a quarter or a half

673
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 2: or a game. However you want to look at it.

674
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 2: With now Will Hammond out for the season and Baron

675
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,720
Speaker 2: Morton back, It's still to me is weird, as somebody

676
00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: who has watched the sport for a long time, that

677
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 2: Texas Tech plays so against reputational type like oh no

678
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 2: defense and running Texas Tech. You know, as we've all

679
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 2: come to understand this program to be defined by running

680
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 2: the ball, defense, patience, knowing that oh they're only up

681
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:25,840
Speaker 2: twelve to seven at halftime, just stick with it, Just

682
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 2: stick with it, go on the road, just stick with it.

683
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 2: A sloppy game against Utah, finished straw with the backup court. Like,

684
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 2: It's been very fun and a little bit surprising to

685
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: me to see the extent to which they have so

686
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,799
Speaker 2: far fulfilled the promise and the hype of investing so

687
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 2: much into this program in the off season, and they

688
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,800
Speaker 2: look every bit like a program that belongs in whatever

689
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,319
Speaker 2: conversation you want to have, I would say about the

690
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 2: second tier of this sport nationally.

691
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, they're part of a broader conversation that

692
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 1: needs to be had at some point, probably not now.

693
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: We got to give it a few weeks. We got

694
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,759
Speaker 1: to wait for the season to unfold here. Yeah, but

695
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: we do need to talk about teams that went all

696
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 1: in on the transfer portal to try and give themselves

697
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: a boost, and which one succeeded versus which didn't. You know,

698
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 1: Texas Tech is very much on the right side of

699
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: that spectrum, a team like an Auburn I don't know, Okay,

700
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: probably on the opposite end. Oklahoma may be somewhere in

701
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: the middle or closer to the to the.

702
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 2: Good side, done a good job. I mean, look, it's

703
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 2: all relative with Oklahoma, with where they've been.

704
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Texas Tech is very much a success story

705
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,240
Speaker 1: with how they went out, with how they spent their money,

706
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: and I think it's paying dividends again. They've got a

707
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 1: huge game coming up next weekend. Let me just say

708
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: this about KSE State and then we'll move on. Okay,

709
00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 1: I haven't watched a ton of case State this year

710
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:54,240
Speaker 1: in real time. I've obviously gone back. I've rewatched pretty

711
00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:58,879
Speaker 1: much all of their games. I don't think the replays

712
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 1: effectively capture the vibe the same way as watching the

713
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: game in the moment. We've been talking about tortured fan

714
00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:15,239
Speaker 1: bases a lot lately. Let me nominate k State for

715
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: a second at Flora's Yours.

716
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 2: K State.

717
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: Got this one to nineteen to fourteen. Early in the

718
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 1: third quarter. They were trailing, but it felt like they

719
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 1: had a shot right from that point forward, Dan, I

720
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 1: was frustrated. I had no dog in this fight. I

721
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:41,279
Speaker 1: was frustrated because they had so many chances here and

722
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 1: they just could not get out of their own way.

723
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: They did end up with a touchdown at some point

724
00:36:45,160 --> 00:36:47,680
Speaker 1: to make it a two score game, but whether it

725
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 1: was offense, whether it was defense, they had so many

726
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,440
Speaker 1: opportunities to just bolt to drive together. It did not

727
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: need to be pretty. Just find a way, find a

728
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: way to get in position and there's penalty, find a

729
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 1: way to get in position. Oh, there's a pass thrown

730
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: behind somebody. Find a way to get in position, to

731
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 1: put yourself in a position to maybe win this game

732
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: or at least apply some pressure to the Texas Tech defense.

733
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: They just couldn't do it. There is so much of

734
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: an execution problem right now with Kansas State. It has

735
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: to be maddening if you root for the Wildcats, it

736
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: just has to. It doesn't feel like Avery Johnson has

737
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,600
Speaker 1: that much support. It's clear that he is an athlete

738
00:37:27,640 --> 00:37:29,720
Speaker 1: out there. He is trying his best to make plays,

739
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: but there's just not enough around him. And that's still

740
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 1: frustrating to watch.

741
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 2: No, and they really look they generate some big plays,

742
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 2: but they don't really do anything crazy well other than

743
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 2: no show potential, but then consistently fall short of it.

744
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: And they've been in a better place. Look, there's no

745
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 2: shame in losing to Texas Tech. This year's iteration of.

746
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: Technic no, no, no, no, no no no.

747
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: But you'd like to not turn the ball over five times,

748
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,799
Speaker 2: you'd like to not pop a huge run early with

749
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,240
Speaker 2: Avery Johnson for a touchdown and then really not show

750
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 2: that kind of big playability consistently for the rest of

751
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: the game. Like there's just stuff like that for Kansas

752
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 2: State where they're just gonna struggle all year, win and loss,

753
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 2: win or lose. Yes, with consistency, we also.

754
00:38:14,920 --> 00:38:22,040
Speaker 1: Had speaking of sloppiness, Yes, Houston had some fumble lightist. Dude,

755
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:26,719
Speaker 1: Houston got up to number twenty two. Houston's having a

756
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,480
Speaker 1: really good year. It doesn't matter what happens from here

757
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: on out. Houston and Willie Fritz have already exceeded expectations.

758
00:38:32,320 --> 00:38:35,520
Speaker 1: They're having a good year. They end up losing forty

759
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: five to thirty five to West Virginia. They fumbled five times.

760
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 1: They only lost two of them, but they fumbled five times, right,

761
00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: Connor Wegman had three of them. Connor Wigman also threw

762
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: two picks, one of which went back for a touchdown,

763
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 1: and it was that pick six that essentially was the dagger.

764
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: It put West Virginia up ten. West Virginia never looked back.

765
00:38:58,200 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 1: There was a little bit of a back and forth

766
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: nature to this game, but ultimately that pick six was

767
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: the one that gave the Mountaineers enough separation to bring

768
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,720
Speaker 1: this one home. So I'm not here in chastise Houston.

769
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: I'm only here to state the obvious that there was

770
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 1: a lot of oddity to this game, to say the

771
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,840
Speaker 1: absolute minimum, in that Houston could not hold onto the

772
00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: damn football and a nice win for West Virginia.

773
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: Scotty Fei's a nice game, yes, so not their starting

774
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 2: quarterback obviously, and perhaps look, I'm not in the Houston

775
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,839
Speaker 2: locker room, but when you play that inefficiently and that

776
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 2: loosely unfortunately, like they beat the defending champ of their

777
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 2: conference last week on the road, and so is there

778
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 2: a letdown factor? And what they go down twenty one

779
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 2: to seven to West Virginia, who's been at times truly

780
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 2: awful this year. Yeap, but there is. You know, you

781
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 2: got to extend a little bit of grace given how

782
00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 2: much new there is in Morgantown, obviously new old coach

783
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 2: uh and then the number of transfers brought in that

784
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 2: it was going to be very much a work in

785
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,800
Speaker 2: progress this year. So good for West Virginia for sticking

786
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 2: with it and keeping the locker room together. Rich Rodriguez

787
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 2: has done a decent enough job. Yeah, likely at least

788
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: this week he did. And getting this team ready to

789
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: play against a tough Houston team who was just mentally

790
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:16,879
Speaker 2: it seemed not there.

791
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean they're not a finished product, but there

792
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 1: are certainly exceeding expectations.

793
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is still only year whatever, Year two two,

794
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 2: Willie Fritz year two Yeah, okay, extend grace in both directions.

795
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 1: So like elsewhere in the Big twelve Baylor one big

796
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: you mentioned Baylor at the top. Kansas won by seventeen

797
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:38,919
Speaker 1: over Oklahoma State. Arizona absolutely throttled Colorado fifty threety seven.

798
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 2: That's a conversation, yep.

799
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:49,920
Speaker 1: But Arizona State twenty four, Iowa State nineteen. Jeff Simms

800
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: ran for two hundred and twenty eight yards.

801
00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: Get them how you need him? Two every eight yards.

802
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 1: I saw Jeff Simms is playing this game. I'm like,

803
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm not picking Arizona State.

804
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Right? Same?

805
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 1: Two hundred and twenty eight yards?

806
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: Who is this? Well, Ty, I'm glad you asked, because

807
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 2: one of the most effective ways to keep Jeff Simms

808
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:17,680
Speaker 2: from throwing the ball thirty times is to have him

809
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 2: run the ball thirty times. It's a real galaxy brain

810
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: way of thinking about it, and Kenny Dillingham nailed this.

811
00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 2: It was a weird game. Obviously. Iowa State's defense has

812
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:30,360
Speaker 2: been pretty disappointing all season long. They give up a

813
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 2: ton of points. But you're watching this team, You're like,

814
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna be able to do much

815
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 2: consistently through the air let these last few these last

816
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 2: few weeks especially, and they come out to the lead

817
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 2: against BYU and the defense is unable to sustain. Excuse me,

818
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 2: Obviously the injuries on the back end of that defense

819
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: have affected things greatly, but they gave the ball back

820
00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:52,880
Speaker 2: and forth to each other so much in this game.

821
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna play it right now, Ty, you ready

822
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:56,879
Speaker 2: got sure?

823
00:41:57,000 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: What are you playing?

824
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 2: Punt, missfield goal, punt, field goal, field goal, touchdown, touchdown, punt, touchdown, punt, fumble, touchdown, interception,

825
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:08,040
Speaker 2: missfield goal, punt, punt, punt, touchdown, punt, punt, field goal, punt,

826
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: punt downs, interception, fumble, punt, punt downs.

827
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 1: And oh good, we finally get a dramatic drive chart reading.

828
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:21,439
Speaker 1: It took us till week ten.

829
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to just hand it out.

830
00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:25,280
Speaker 2: Willy nilly tie.

831
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,879
Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Yeah, this was this game was weird, man,

832
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 1: I got the water. Well, while you're getting water, let's

833
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 1: shift gears then and talk about what went down in

834
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: the Big Ten. We had USC winning twenty one to

835
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 1: seventeen over Nebraska. We had a weird Michigan game, Michigan

836
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,319
Speaker 1: winning twenty one two sixteen over Perdue. Before that, we

837
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 1: had an overtime win for Minnesota over Michigan State twenty

838
00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 1: three two twenty. And then earlier in the day we

839
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 1: had an absolute murder.

840
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:03,840
Speaker 2: Guess who just got third.

841
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:08,759
Speaker 1: Indiana fifty five to ten over Maryland. And we had

842
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State Penn State Dan. Yes, we did thirty eight

843
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: to fourteen. The Buckeyes win at home. Why don't we

844
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: start with the USC Nebraska game? Okay, okay, not a

845
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:25,120
Speaker 1: great day through the air for Jade Mayava, for anybody,

846
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,200
Speaker 1: for anybody. I talked about how I didn't think Nebraska

847
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,480
Speaker 1: had the secondary to take, you know, away, one of

848
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 1: USC's primary one wide.

849
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 2: I've really liked Nebraska's corners. This is this is you

850
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 2: saying this, This is me. Ye had evaluation going in

851
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 2: and listen.

852
00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: I like their their corners in the secondary as well.

853
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,200
Speaker 1: Hold on, but so do your do not well? If

854
00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 1: you allow me to finish, I can tell you my

855
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: thoughts are here.

856
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:52,160
Speaker 2: Okay.

857
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:57,719
Speaker 1: In the preview, my commentary on Nebraska's secondary was, I

858
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: like them, I don't think they can be as effective

859
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,160
Speaker 1: in taking away one of the two primary weapons as

860
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 1: Notre Dame was because I don't think they're as talented

861
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: in the defensive backfield.

862
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 2: As it were. They took away both of them. They

863
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,560
Speaker 2: took away both of them. It was a great effort

864
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:17,919
Speaker 2: by the Nebraska secondary and.

865
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: Guess what USC did. Lo and behold. It took until

866
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 1: now for them to do this. They committed to the run.

867
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 2: They did well. I mean I think they did against Michigan.

868
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 2: When it was working, they decided to keep going to

869
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: King Miller.

870
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:34,879
Speaker 1: I just feel like there have been only a few

871
00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:39,120
Speaker 1: instances where Lincoln Riley has been comfortable with this. Yeah,

872
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,839
Speaker 1: because we've seen instances over the last two seasons now

873
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,360
Speaker 1: where the running game actually has been quite effective and

874
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: they just don't do it enough. This is not one

875
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:49,319
Speaker 1: of those times. This is a really good game for

876
00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 1: King Miller, actually a really good game for Jamavo on

877
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:54,840
Speaker 1: the ground as well. They turned to that because it

878
00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,680
Speaker 1: was working, they stuck with it, and they came away

879
00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,799
Speaker 1: with a heart fought win. This is a tough place,

880
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 1: speaking of like blackouts or dark mow whatever they're calling

881
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: it everywhere across the country. Tonight. Nebraska had that going on.

882
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:10,200
Speaker 1: This is a very big deal. Everybody was jacked up

883
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: for this one. Matt Ruhle had signed newly signed the

884
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: extension before they.

885
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,920
Speaker 2: Released the black balloons this week, the black balloons, it

886
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: was the weird, not the weird, but the blackout situation.

887
00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, so everybody was all fired up in Lincoln for

888
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: Matt rule to I guess, lose another one against an

889
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: ap top twenty five team. He's now oh and eight

890
00:45:29,719 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 1: is Nebraska coach. But for me, the takeaway was that

891
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: USC's willingness to commit to the run in a spot

892
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 1: where it was clearly working and clearly could make them

893
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 1: some hay. That to me was a breath of fresh

894
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,760
Speaker 1: air that they did not try to force the pass

895
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 1: when that was clearly not as effective.

896
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 2: Okay, so you are complementing USC, which I think is

897
00:45:52,520 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 2: not as deserved as your tone would suggest. Okay, USC

898
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 2: was running for seven eight yards of carry, as you mentioned,

899
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 2: struggled through the air to hit on bigger plays. They

900
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 2: were taking shots, they just weren't hitting. They weren't you know,

901
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 2: the receivers were smothered, they were in double coverage. And

902
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 2: to be fair like even still mackay Lemon makes these

903
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 2: plays sometimes in double coverage and impossible situations. This game

904
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 2: was fourteen all in the second half. I believe seventeen

905
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 2: fourteen in the second half. Now this is you didn't

906
00:46:21,719 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 2: mention the one thing I'm sure you were going to

907
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:25,240
Speaker 2: get there if I didn't cut you off. Dylan Ryola

908
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,920
Speaker 2: left this game, yes, injured, yep, And it was a TJ.

909
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,600
Speaker 2: I apologize for the pronunciation I had the TJ. Letteth.

910
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,520
Speaker 1: He is a freshman who came in and actually did okay.

911
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: I think in his own right given the circumstances.

912
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,879
Speaker 2: Ah, he ran, he ran, he ran.

913
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: I thought at least had a decent enough command and

914
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 1: was in a spot where he kept Nebraska competitive. You

915
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 1: never know what you're going to get in a situation.

916
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 1: I think you bring a freshman in and off the bench,

917
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,720
Speaker 1: big situation like this at home at night, good USC team.

918
00:46:57,640 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 1: He didn't play him out of the game, which is

919
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: really all he can he threw.

920
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 2: For seven yards seventy one yards per one yard I

921
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 2: would say one yards one yard per attempt every time

922
00:47:07,880 --> 00:47:10,800
Speaker 2: he threw the ball. On average, it was going about

923
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 2: yay far if you're watching, it's about three feet if

924
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:23,839
Speaker 2: my math serves. USC was not running away from this game.

925
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,839
Speaker 2: They were not running away from Nebraska. When Nebraska had

926
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:30,479
Speaker 2: a quarterback who was zero passing threat in this game,

927
00:47:31,040 --> 00:47:33,600
Speaker 2: he was zero threat. It became very clear pretty quickly.

928
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,919
Speaker 2: He was zero threat to USC's defense through the air.

929
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 2: And USC had to play a full sixty minutes to

930
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 2: win this game, so it became nearly impossible. At the

931
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:47,800
Speaker 2: end of the game, I think they pinned Nebraska inside

932
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 2: the five or something with a punt. It became nearly

933
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 2: impossible for Nebraska to win this game to drive ninety

934
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:54,960
Speaker 2: five yards with a backup quarterback. That became clear. But

935
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,360
Speaker 2: even still, this should have been a game with USC

936
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 2: running the ball like they were able to times. They

937
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,320
Speaker 2: were you know, eight nine ten, twelve yards per carry

938
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 2: without being touched for those first eight nine ten yards,

939
00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 2: and they couldn't figure out a way to finish drives

940
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 2: and so win your clunkers. Winning is better than losing.

941
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 2: There was freezing tempts in Lincoln. There's a good win

942
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:19,839
Speaker 2: for USC team who does not win this game under

943
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley. Right, this is a losable spot for USC

944
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:26,360
Speaker 2: consistently under Lincoln Riley. Good for them for winning. But

945
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 2: if Dylan Ryola were in, if any sort of replacement

946
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 2: level quarterback were in, and maybe TJ Latif turns into

947
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:37,800
Speaker 2: that guy with experience like Jade Mayava dirted the ball

948
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,000
Speaker 2: to stop the clock with three minutes left up four,

949
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 2: punting it back to Nebraska who only had one time out.

950
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,560
Speaker 2: I believe at the time like just doing them weird

951
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:51,799
Speaker 2: favors like that, And so I don't know the way

952
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,719
Speaker 2: you talk, the way your your tone I think was

953
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 2: too nice to USC.

954
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fair, that's fair.

955
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:01,200
Speaker 2: They they did not run away from Nebraska on the

956
00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,520
Speaker 2: ground at all, like they ran well, but they didn't

957
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 2: turn it into points.

958
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 1: I thought, I'm taking stock in the fact that they

959
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 1: did not try to make fetch happen through the earth.

960
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,560
Speaker 1: There was at least enough recognition from a play calling

961
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,640
Speaker 1: standpoint that the running game was working. Maybe we should

962
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: just stick with that, regardless of whether or not it

963
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,319
Speaker 1: translated into points. And runaway win or anything like that.

964
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: I just feel like I have seen too many instances,

965
00:49:28,760 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 1: and this was especially the case last year with Woody Marx,

966
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:36,280
Speaker 1: where they could have ran more, they could have focused

967
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:38,120
Speaker 1: on that more, and it seemed like they wanted to

968
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 1: throw it. And that was a point of frustration for

969
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 1: us as we talked about USC, and I think among

970
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 1: other USC fans that rode into us as well. Right,

971
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: they didn't do that this game, and it was still

972
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:54,080
Speaker 1: at night, loud environment, excitable environment where the crowd is

973
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: obviously pretty jazzed up. A bummer that Dylan Roilo goes

974
00:49:58,120 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 1: down now, it looked really painful thanks.

975
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 2: To an ankle situation, I believe, right.

976
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he got his ankle sort of like twisted and

977
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 1: then rolled up on as he was going down on

978
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:11,360
Speaker 1: a play by Alignman.

979
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 2: He was hurt.

980
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,440
Speaker 1: He did not return. He didn't play most of you know,

981
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:20,279
Speaker 1: obviously the fourth quarter, most of the second half. We're

982
00:50:20,280 --> 00:50:22,240
Speaker 1: going to have to wait to see what his status

983
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,439
Speaker 1: is moving forward. Nebraska now is in a position where

984
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 1: they've got three losses. There's six and three overall. They've

985
00:50:28,680 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: got road games against UCLA and Penn State, and then

986
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 1: the home game the Heroes game to close out the

987
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 1: season against Iowa. So I think those are probably three

988
00:50:39,480 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: winnable games. Well with a healthy Delan, right, they need

989
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: a healthy Delan Iowa, right, exactly, So we're going to

990
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 1: have to watch the injury reports pretty closely to see

991
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:50,839
Speaker 1: where things where things come down as the week progresses here.

992
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: But you know, six and three you went out. Even

993
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: if you finish eight and four, it's still better I

994
00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 1: think than a year ago, and maybe it helps justify

995
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: the big contract extension he gave Matt Rule.

996
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, they should win. They should beat Penn State

997
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 2: and UCLA in the scenario if Royola, you know, is

998
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: able to bounce back. I mean, those are two road games.

999
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:18,080
Speaker 2: That's tough, it's two longer trips. But yeah, Nebraska with

1000
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,879
Speaker 2: a healthy Don Royola, I think there's a good chance

1001
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:24,560
Speaker 2: they're winning this game. Defensive deficiencies up front and all.

1002
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 2: Let me play my super Saiyan sound Julian saying, baby, baby,

1003
00:51:33,040 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 2: he is good. There are other excellent players in the

1004
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 2: Heisman conversation in this moment, he might be alone right now.

1005
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:45,879
Speaker 2: I mean who else? I mean, there are other great

1006
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:49,759
Speaker 2: players in this sport. Running Backs, receivers, quarterbacks, whatever, take

1007
00:51:49,760 --> 00:51:52,799
Speaker 2: your pick. He's been a machine this year. He was

1008
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 2: a machine in this game. Yeah.

1009
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,359
Speaker 1: And you know, maybe the Penn State defense this year

1010
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: isn't quite as good as last and I mean it's

1011
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 1: just not the same. They're not as good, but still

1012
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: in theory it should be one of the better defenses

1013
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: in the Big Ten. There's clearly talent there. He went

1014
00:52:13,680 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 1: twenty of twenty three for three sixteen and four touchdowns.

1015
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: It did not feel like he missed at all in

1016
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,920
Speaker 1: this game. And it wasn't like he was dinking and dunking.

1017
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 1: He was taking deep shots. He was putting the ball

1018
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: exactly where it needed to be for Carnell Tait, for

1019
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,319
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith, for those guys to go out there and

1020
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:39,200
Speaker 1: eat pretty well. I mean, it was just a clinic

1021
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 1: from Julian saying, and if this is the version of

1022
00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: the Ohio State offense that we're going to see, like

1023
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: I saw in the run up to this game, people

1024
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,400
Speaker 1: talking about, wow, you know, the high of State offense

1025
00:52:50,440 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 1: isn't actually that good. You know, they're not really turning

1026
00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:55,920
Speaker 1: Julian saying loose, we don't know what they've got. We

1027
00:52:55,920 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: were not saying that, but I saw that out there,

1028
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 1: and I did sort of side eye it, but okay,

1029
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to see what would happen here. Thirty eight

1030
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:08,720
Speaker 1: to fourteen was your final I think the cake topper

1031
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:12,400
Speaker 1: was an eleven yard touchdown catch by Jeremiah Smith. I

1032
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this. One's kind of catch

1033
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,320
Speaker 1: of the dead. It's tipped at the line by Zakey

1034
00:53:17,360 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: Wheatley from Penn State, then one handed by Jeremiah Smith

1035
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:23,880
Speaker 1: who just casually brings in and goes in for a touchdown.

1036
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:27,399
Speaker 1: So like, I don't know what else you could say.

1037
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: This was a really solid performance for the Ohio State offense.

1038
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 1: They started running the ball a little bit better with

1039
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 1: Bo Jackson, right. I mean, they're just starting to round

1040
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: into form, which I think makes them all the more scary,

1041
00:53:39,040 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: and defensively played pretty well again, which has been more

1042
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,879
Speaker 1: of the story of this season. So you know, there's

1043
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: not much criticism in the way of Ohio State the

1044
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 1: Penn State side of things, Like, I'm not sure Ethan

1045
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 1: Grunkemeyer looks much worse than Drew Aller at this point, honestly,

1046
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean, they weren't getting much out of Alor before

1047
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: this game. Maybe more veteran experience. But Ethan Grunkemeyer, for

1048
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: his part, was okay. I do think the mystique of

1049
00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: Andy Cotele Nicky and the whole like gadget play thing

1050
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: that he likes to do. I think that mystique is

1051
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,360
Speaker 1: worn off at Penn State. And my hunch is that

1052
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: Andy cotle Nicky won't be there next year, regardless of

1053
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 1: who the coaches, just because like it just feels like

1054
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: he goes to that a little bit too much and

1055
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 1: it is definitely annoying to watch as a Penn Stater.

1056
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:30,280
Speaker 1: But this is kind of what we expected. I thought

1057
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 1: maybe they would keep it within the number just because

1058
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 1: of the defense, but Ohio State was too much. They

1059
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: just had no answer. At times, You're trying to bracket

1060
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:41,640
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Smith, right, they're double covering him to the outside

1061
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 1: to the inside, and he's still running past everybody. I

1062
00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 1: don't know what you're supposed to do to stop it.

1063
00:54:45,320 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 2: Or Julian Sam's like all right, I'm with to Carnell Tate.

1064
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: Or he's good throw or branded in its right, like

1065
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: they have so many weapons out wide that it's an

1066
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: embarrassment of riches and I don't know how you cover

1067
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 1: all those guys. Even if you got the best secondary

1068
00:54:57,280 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: in the country, they will find the weak spot because

1069
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 1: you got a quarterback with pinpoint accuracy and you got

1070
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:06,640
Speaker 1: three receivers plus a tight end that you feel you

1071
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: can trust in a big spot.

1072
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,839
Speaker 2: Okay, the only thing I will say, ty So I'm

1073
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:15,840
Speaker 2: just gonna say it. Ohio State's schedule is not necessarily

1074
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 2: where Ohio State schedules typically are these past few years

1075
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 2: in terms of defenses faced or like when they're playing

1076
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 2: Penn State, there is the assumption that there is some

1077
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:31,560
Speaker 2: degree of complimentary football from Penn State, that Penn State

1078
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 2: has a healthy starting quarterback and is able to move

1079
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 2: the ball some that Penn State has NFL players on

1080
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 2: offense playing to the best of their ability. And when

1081
00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:44,520
Speaker 2: you look at their schedule this season, Illinois, Washington, Minnesota,

1082
00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 2: this year's version of Penn State, they just haven't seen

1083
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:53,760
Speaker 2: that defense that you know, in previous years they'd see

1084
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:58,200
Speaker 2: with a top ten Wisconsin defense or Iowa defense, or

1085
00:55:58,239 --> 00:56:01,760
Speaker 2: you know, last season's Oregon defense or a national championship

1086
00:56:01,800 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 2: caliber Michigan defense. And it's just it is not a

1087
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:08,520
Speaker 2: statement to say that Ohio State is not the number

1088
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 2: one team in the country has not earned their ranking

1089
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 2: and does not look incredible. But we haven't seen them

1090
00:56:16,280 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 2: pushed by somebody of comparable talent level. Is that fair?

1091
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 2: I mean, there are guys on this Penn State defense

1092
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,840
Speaker 2: for sure, probably, but that what is asked of the

1093
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 2: Penn State defense right now is a lot to ask

1094
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 2: when you don't have that complimentary piece, Like they couldn't

1095
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 2: really run the ball. They put together a couple of

1096
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,279
Speaker 2: nice drives in the first half, sure, but there was

1097
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:42,880
Speaker 2: really no threat of Penn State getting to thirty points

1098
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 2: in this game.

1099
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 3: No.

1100
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I think the only counter would be they

1101
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,440
Speaker 2: played Texas first, Right, they'dla like Texas.

1102
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:47,680
Speaker 5: Right.

1103
00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,000
Speaker 2: No, that's you're absolutely right since Texas.

1104
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that was a week one game and every

1105
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:53,839
Speaker 1: team is a little bit different now than they were

1106
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:54,319
Speaker 1: in Week one.

1107
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 2: I just I think big ten.

1108
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, but I hear what you're saying, and you know,

1109
00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: as I'm watching these Ohio State games, the two thoughts

1110
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: that come to mind now are what's it going to

1111
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: look like against Michigan? Are they going to try to

1112
00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: be something other than what they've been?

1113
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 2: Hopefully it's not a Michigan that struggled with Purdue tonight,

1114
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 2: but yeah.

1115
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: Right, twenty one to sixteen a win over Purdue. What

1116
00:57:16,920 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: version of this Ohio State team are we going to

1117
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 1: see against Michigan? Because last year Ohio State didn't round

1118
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: into their eventual form until after they lost. That sort

1119
00:57:27,640 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: of shook something loose, and suddenly they started playing like,

1120
00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:32,760
Speaker 1: you know, pedal to the metal. They ripped through the

1121
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: playoff and won the national championship. So maybe what we're

1122
00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: seeing now is like an earlier recognition of what they are.

1123
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: They're growing into who they are eventually going to be,

1124
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 1: and by the time they play Michigan, they won't have

1125
00:57:44,320 --> 00:57:46,000
Speaker 1: some of the problems that they've had the last couple

1126
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:48,480
Speaker 1: of years. I don't know, but that's the first thought.

1127
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: And then the second thought, and more to your point,

1128
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 1: is man, what is that Big Ten title going to

1129
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 1: look like? If it's Ohio State against Indiana.

1130
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 2: It seems like it will be.

1131
00:57:58,920 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: It seems like it will be it seems like it's

1132
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:04,360
Speaker 1: likely gonna be one versus two. What is that game

1133
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:05,000
Speaker 1: going to look like?

1134
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 2: I mean, at the moment, my initial thought with that,

1135
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 2: and we saw you know, some SCC games and games

1136
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 2: all over the country to get to. At the moment,

1137
00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 2: it seems like my first concern would be Fernando Mendoza

1138
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 2: throwing into this defense, or and he is a little

1139
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 2: bit air anybody throwing into this defense. Arch Manning throwing

1140
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 2: into this defense to start the season should have been

1141
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 2: an indicator that, like, maybe he's not great, maybe maybe

1142
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 2: he's improving, and maybe this defense is not going to

1143
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 2: miss a beat from where they were last season.

1144
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:38,040
Speaker 1: I think all this stuff is fair, absolutely fair, Dan

1145
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:41,200
Speaker 1: to say the absolute very least a big win, though,

1146
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:45,800
Speaker 1: however you want to frame it for the Ohio State

1147
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:50,520
Speaker 1: Buck guys. Here, let's talk through just a few other

1148
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,280
Speaker 1: things around college football.

1149
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 2: Well, there's some sec stuff we haven't talked. We didn't

1150
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 2: talk Vandy Texas.

1151
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to bring up Vandy and Texas.

1152
00:58:57,440 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 2: We got all missed with a nice win. Yeah, I

1153
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 2: want to bring up Vandy and Texas Kentucky. You know

1154
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 2: how many touchdowns Kentucky scored to beat Auburn One? They

1155
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 2: scored one, a single solitary touchdown, and that was plenty.

1156
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 2: So the Texas.

1157
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 1: Vandy game was actually higher up in my list, but

1158
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:15,479
Speaker 1: I scrolled past it because we were.

1159
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 2: Talking about Door. That's why mart and all these others.

1160
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 2: But thirty four to thirty one. So this game was

1161
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 2: kind of crazy, right I turned it off. Texas was

1162
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:23,920
Speaker 2: up thirty four to ten.

1163
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, all right, I got this one in the bag.

1164
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: I had Texas, you had Texas. I'm thinking this one's over.

1165
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:34,600
Speaker 1: That's when Vandy goes on a furious fourth quarter rally.

1166
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: They end up scoring twenty one unanswered points. They ended

1167
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: up making it thirty four to thirty one in the

1168
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: dying embers of the game, and they almost recover an

1169
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: on side kick.

1170
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 2: They probably should have recovered the on site kick. Dude,

1171
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 2: it was inches, it was inches away. It was a

1172
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 2: great kick. The execution was great, The coverage was great.

1173
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:56,919
Speaker 2: The positioning of the guys seemed great. That they were,

1174
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 2: you know, surrounding and swarming the ball and it just

1175
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:00,800
Speaker 2: dropp out of bounds.

1176
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: I thought Texas looked awesome.

1177
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:05,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, up until the.

1178
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,200
Speaker 1: Point where Vandy went into beast mode and or Texas

1179
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: stopped playing defense.

1180
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:11,640
Speaker 2: Okay, what it was some coverage bus that made scoring

1181
01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 2: quick a lot easier.

1182
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, But up until that point, I thought Texas

1183
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: looked great. They looked like a machine. Arch did play

1184
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: Remember he was in concussion protocol and the build up

1185
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 1: to this one, I thought he looked really good.

1186
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 2: I don't know if like the shot to the head

1187
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 2: shook something loose and maybe he joked about that. Did

1188
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 2: you see that?

1189
01:00:29,800 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 3: No?

1190
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: I didn't.

1191
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 2: He was like, maybe the concussion helped.

1192
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it did. Yeah, maybe it allowed him to kind

1193
01:00:36,560 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: of take a step back and not focus so much

1194
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 1: on being a manning or being what other people claim

1195
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 1: he should be. He seemed like he was playing looser,

1196
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: with more freedom, had better command, was more accurate with

1197
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,400
Speaker 1: the football. For the vast majority of this game. I

1198
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: thought he looked really, really good, So I commend him.

1199
01:00:55,560 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 1: I obviously commend Texas forgetting this one, and I commend

1200
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: Vandy for coming back in the manner that they did.

1201
01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:03,640
Speaker 1: You know, this game felt like it was a foregone conclusion,

1202
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 1: and you just can never say that to Diego Pavia

1203
01:01:06,760 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 1: or Clark Lee or the way that this Vanderbilt team

1204
01:01:08,760 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: is constructed, because they truly never say die.

1205
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 2: I would also commend Sark the way that he called

1206
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,760
Speaker 2: this game. It seemed like he finally understood some of

1207
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 2: the offensive line issues that he has in front of him.

1208
01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 2: Getting the ball out of ourch hands quickly. Was it

1209
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 2: the opening play, one of the first plays, the sort

1210
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,240
Speaker 2: of motion swing pass to Ryan Wingo, who we talked

1211
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 2: about specifically yep on the previews show as being a

1212
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,600
Speaker 2: bright spot for this offense. It's been somewhat disappointing this season.

1213
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 2: Arch wasn't always hitting guys on the second level, though

1214
01:01:39,560 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 2: he did do more of that, confidently. I thought the

1215
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 2: big deal with Arch was one they were running the

1216
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 2: ball a little bit better, which opened things up seemingly.

1217
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 2: And two he was making boring throws without panic, it seemed,

1218
01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,240
Speaker 2: but like no, he wasn't throwing the ball downfield like crazy.

1219
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 2: He did take some, but he was on target more

1220
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 2: than he's seemingly been with hitches with screens with shorter

1221
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 2: stuff underneath to whoever. And it makes a difference when

1222
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 2: the offense is in much more of a rhythm. When

1223
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,160
Speaker 2: he's in a rhythm. You can see the results. They

1224
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 2: jump out to the lead, They jumped out to they

1225
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,600
Speaker 2: had the coverage bus late and you know, credit Vandy

1226
01:02:21,680 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 2: for you know, being the all gas no breaks at

1227
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 2: near the end of that game. But no, Vandy struggled

1228
01:02:28,080 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 2: to run the ball against the teeth of this Texas defense.

1229
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,600
Speaker 2: They were swarming. They were all over Diego Pavia And

1230
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,479
Speaker 2: you know, what can you say at this point about

1231
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:38,680
Speaker 2: like guys like Anthony Hill and Colin Simmons, Right, they

1232
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,640
Speaker 2: are the stars that we all know them to be,

1233
01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 2: and they showed out in a huge game like this.

1234
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 2: Texas I think technically was favored, so I don't know

1235
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 2: if this makes it an upset, but they were the

1236
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 2: lower ranked team. And I still think Vandy's really really good.

1237
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 2: But when the Texas defense is operating and Arch isn't missing,

1238
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 2: and they're getting a little bit out of Trey Weisner

1239
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:03,040
Speaker 2: in this run game, it's really difficult to win. And yeah,

1240
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 2: I believe zero sacks allowed? Is that srue? I mean,

1241
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 2: it makes sense because they were having him getting rid

1242
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 2: of the ball quicker, but you know, they could have

1243
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 2: been doing that earlier and he just wasn't seeing what

1244
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,560
Speaker 2: he needed to see as quickly as he needed to. Yeah,

1245
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 2: good for Texas, absolutely.

1246
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 1: Elsewhere in the SEC. I mean, just to put a bow.

1247
01:03:21,080 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: I know we talked about a few of the other

1248
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 1: big games in the SEC, but the coaching carousel this

1249
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 1: time of year animates the vast majority of college football

1250
01:03:33,080 --> 01:03:35,640
Speaker 1: fans you know, it's sort of the game within the game,

1251
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,919
Speaker 1: and especially this year, everybody's into it. By the way,

1252
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 1: if you've made it this far, we have built a

1253
01:03:42,080 --> 01:03:45,720
Speaker 1: coaching carousel game that we are going to make available

1254
01:03:45,800 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: on Monday. I will send it out via our email.

1255
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 1: It's so good, I will send it out across social media.

1256
01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,800
Speaker 1: I will talk about it throughout the course of our

1257
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: episodes over the next week or so.

1258
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 2: It's only with the winter gets tell them what the

1259
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:01,360
Speaker 2: winner gets. I don't know what the winner gets yet.

1260
01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 2: I get to be the head coach at Penn State. Yeah,

1261
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:04,439
Speaker 2: you get to be the head coach of State.

1262
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:04,760
Speaker 6: Right.

1263
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 1: We don't know what the winner is going to get. Yeah,

1264
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 1: we'll figure that out. Yeah, but you're going to have

1265
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: a week a week to kind of get your affair

1266
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:15,600
Speaker 1: as an order here and play this game where you

1267
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: pick which jobs you think are going to come open,

1268
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: which coaches you think are going to be on the move.

1269
01:04:19,960 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 1: If you get the marriage correct, you're going to get

1270
01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 1: bonus points. I got a whole thing going. It's complicated,

1271
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 1: but it's not that complicated, and it's going to be

1272
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:31,160
Speaker 1: fun because there's nothing else like it. So stay tuned.

1273
01:04:31,360 --> 01:04:34,200
Speaker 1: If you are interested in playing said game, because that

1274
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: is going to be coming out this week. The reason

1275
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:39,160
Speaker 1: it's not opening until Monday is because I'm waiting to

1276
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,120
Speaker 1: see what happens with Hugh Freeze. And I think there

1277
01:04:42,200 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 1: is a chance, I don't know anything. We're recording this

1278
01:04:45,560 --> 01:04:48,600
Speaker 1: late on Saturday night early Sunday morning. I think there's

1279
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 1: a chance that Hugh Freeze is going to be the

1280
01:04:50,240 --> 01:04:54,800
Speaker 1: next shoot to drop. Okay, Hugh Freeze at home scored

1281
01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 1: three points against Kentucky. Kentucky is arguably arguably the worst

1282
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 1: team in the SEC right now. Kentucky has not played

1283
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: offense at all this year, with the exception of a

1284
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 1: few rare spots. I think they have definitely underwhelmed to

1285
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:13,919
Speaker 1: a great extent. You could make a case that Mark

1286
01:05:13,960 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: Stoops is going to be one of the next ones

1287
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: to open up at some point down the road.

1288
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 2: I don't think it some Monday bolt. Both of these

1289
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 2: guys some money, Yep.

1290
01:05:21,880 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 1: They do. So all that being said, what we saw

1291
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:33,760
Speaker 1: here at home at night, Auburn's scoring three points. After

1292
01:05:33,840 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: all the fanfare and the transfers and everything, this to

1293
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 1: me feels like probably the final act for Hugh Freeze.

1294
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:42,040
Speaker 1: Does it not.

1295
01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean I could see like a cable

1296
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 2: news future for him.

1297
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 1: But right, I'm not saying he's going to leave this

1298
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:53,880
Speaker 1: earth like he is leaving on the ship with the

1299
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: Elks and Lord of the Ring.

1300
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 2: I am saying he's just probably not going to be

1301
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:03,840
Speaker 2: coaching Auburn much longer. Right, I don't believe so either.

1302
01:06:03,920 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 2: I mean they made the quarterback change to what Ashton

1303
01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 2: Daniels didn't exactly work out swimmingly when is better than

1304
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 2: a loss for Kentucky. And I think his record in

1305
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 2: the SEC at Jordan Hare you can fact check me

1306
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 2: on this. I apologize if I got it wrong. Two

1307
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 2: to nine in the SEC at home. This is a

1308
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 2: tough place to play. You've seen huge games. I've seen

1309
01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 2: huge games on TV at Jordan Hare, but this stadium

1310
01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:38,720
Speaker 2: should be enough to win, to get to five hundred.

1311
01:06:38,720 --> 01:06:40,720
Speaker 2: For a replacement level coach, to go to to nine

1312
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 2: at home in that stadium with some of the NFL

1313
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 2: talent that this program has recruited and developed, it's just inexcusable. Right.

1314
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: I talked about the conversation earlier about transfer portal success,

1315
01:06:55,400 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 1: which teams hit, which teams didn't. Auburn really went in

1316
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: in the offseason. I mean, this was gonna be the

1317
01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: whole catalyst for this year's project. As it stands right now,

1318
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 1: they're a five lost team. They're four and five. Their

1319
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:14,479
Speaker 1: three remaining games are on the road at Vandi. Next week,

1320
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 1: We've got a home game against Mercer that should be

1321
01:07:17,720 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 1: a win. They close out the year with the Iron

1322
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:24,439
Speaker 1: Bowl against Alabama. Again, there are gonna be a bunch

1323
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: of teams that are part of this conversation as we

1324
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: do the post mortem at some point down the road. Yeah,

1325
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 1: but Auburn missing a bowl with all of the hype

1326
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: that they had coming into this season is just a huge.

1327
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 2: Agree That is not cool.

1328
01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:46,000
Speaker 1: And I can't imagine that Auburn faithfu are gonna be

1329
01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 1: really excited about where things end up coming down this season.

1330
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,240
Speaker 1: I gotta believe this is it for Hugh Freeze. I

1331
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:53,240
Speaker 1: just got to believe it.

1332
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 2: I mean, the good news for Ohio State fans, though,

1333
01:07:56,040 --> 01:07:59,760
Speaker 2: is you're getting cam Coleman. So there's that.

1334
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 1: I guess, man, I don't know.

1335
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 2: I yeah, this is rip it down to the studs.

1336
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 1: What else did you see in the SEC?

1337
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 2: It was a nice win for Ole Miss a little

1338
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 2: back and forth early on. I mean it was Kewan

1339
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 2: Lacy once again for Ole Miss pacing this one. It

1340
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 2: wasn't a huge Trinidad Chambliss game, but uh, you know,

1341
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 2: it's just South Carolina struggles on offense or dooming them

1342
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 2: week in and week out. I thought they performed better

1343
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:28,400
Speaker 2: than they could have given the nature of the letdown

1344
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 2: after the way that they lost that Bama game. But

1345
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 2: Ole Miss sitting kind of pretty in the SEC right now,

1346
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 2: or oh.

1347
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: Ole Miss is a playoff team. Man, their playoff team.

1348
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna make the play.

1349
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:43,799
Speaker 2: The rest of their schedule is the Citadel, which of note,

1350
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 2: I believe sp plus has the Citadel scoring negative points

1351
01:08:47,560 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 2: in that game. That's right, It's something like fifty six

1352
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 2: and a half to negative point eight is the projected score. However,

1353
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 2: our dear friend Bill Connolly came up with that. And

1354
01:08:57,840 --> 01:08:59,559
Speaker 2: then they get Florida at home and the egg Bowls

1355
01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 2: on the road. I don't discount anything now that Mississippi

1356
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 2: State is in the win column in the SEC, and

1357
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 2: Mississippi State I think could maybe sort of. I think

1358
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 2: they have to beat Missou but it's likely not a

1359
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:14,680
Speaker 2: bow Rebula Miszoo to get to a Bowl game, but

1360
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 2: almost is sitting.

1361
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 1: Pretty one hundred percent. Now I have two other games

1362
01:09:21,240 --> 01:09:23,559
Speaker 1: and then I want to play your reverbs. Oh, I

1363
01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:24,760
Speaker 1: want to bring this bad boy home.

1364
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:28,679
Speaker 2: Okay, I want to talk about North Texas thirty one

1365
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:30,640
Speaker 2: Navy seventeen.

1366
01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: Damn yeah, North Tech. We previewed this game. We were

1367
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 1: excited about this game.

1368
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:35,519
Speaker 4: M h.

1369
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,719
Speaker 1: North Texas went up fourteen zip on Navy. They didn't

1370
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: look back. We had another solid game out of Drew Mestamaker,

1371
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:46,120
Speaker 1: but we had a monster game from Caleb Hawkins, who

1372
01:09:46,200 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 1: had thirty three carries one hundred and ninety seven yards

1373
01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:51,240
Speaker 1: and all four touchdowns at the mean Green scored in

1374
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:55,160
Speaker 1: this game. Yes, they sort of out navied Navy, which

1375
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:58,160
Speaker 1: I thought was notable. Navy still got theirs. They ran

1376
01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 1: for over three hundred yards, but they had two things.

1377
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: They had two picks. They had a fumble by Blake Horvath.

1378
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: All that stuff kind of works against you. What I say,

1379
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 1: horrvov Horvath, excuse me, it's late.

1380
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 2: No, that's fine. The horror of Oth are a species

1381
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:16,759
Speaker 2: on a foreign planet that you gotta creep carefully around

1382
01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:19,640
Speaker 2: the horror Oth they'll get you. They got stingers.

1383
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 1: Everywhere they do, they do. The fact is, though, this

1384
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:26,679
Speaker 1: is not a Navy offense that's built around coming from behind,

1385
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 1: So when they're in a two score hole, it's going

1386
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 1: to be a problem to come back. And like on

1387
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 1: the North Texas side, the reason we keep talking about

1388
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 1: North Texas and the mean.

1389
01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 2: Do you see how I've grown up that I didn't

1390
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:40,120
Speaker 2: say a single thing when you said coming from behind

1391
01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 2: in the two hole set? Like, did you notice the

1392
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:45,719
Speaker 2: maturity on the other end of the line continued tie?

1393
01:10:46,560 --> 01:10:50,679
Speaker 2: North Texas needs a little bit of help. But they're

1394
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 2: eight and one overall, they five to one conference. Yep,

1395
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 2: they're one of six teams in.

1396
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 1: The conference that has just one loss, and it is

1397
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 1: a very manageable the rest of the way UAB, Rice

1398
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: and Temple.

1399
01:11:03,920 --> 01:11:07,240
Speaker 2: So I don't do I not sleep on UAB, Yeah,

1400
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 2: I guess not. I don't.

1401
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 1: I don't know where things come down for the Mean Green,

1402
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 1: but to just be in the hunt for eleven and

1403
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:16,480
Speaker 1: one at this point.

1404
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's incredible, great season. What else was the thing

1405
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 2: you noted? You said two other results and then I've

1406
01:11:24,479 --> 01:11:27,360
Speaker 2: got a couple. Then let's do reverbs and notre dame

1407
01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 2: one twenty five to ten over Boston College a couple

1408
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:30,679
Speaker 2: of weeks ago.

1409
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: You might recall they beat USC. I jumped the gun.

1410
01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 2: I called that a clunker. This was actually the colnker

1411
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 2: ugl y. You don't get Yeah, this.

1412
01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,639
Speaker 1: Was this was the conquer with dumb penalties on defense.

1413
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:44,720
Speaker 1: The offense was three of ten on third downs. Uh,

1414
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: they stalled out a fair amount at times. It felt

1415
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:51,800
Speaker 1: like Grayson James, who ended up playing quarterback for Boston College,

1416
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 1: was kind of unstoppable. So this was not exactly a

1417
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 1: banner performance by Notre Dame on the road. But they

1418
01:11:58,360 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 1: did win. They did direct and I thought, if I

1419
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:04,840
Speaker 1: zoom out here and kind of put my motions to

1420
01:12:04,880 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 1: the side. A really good game from CJ. Carr two

1421
01:12:07,160 --> 01:12:10,519
Speaker 1: ninety nine. More importantly, they're stretching the field with him.

1422
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: They're stretching the field. They had passes a forty six,

1423
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 1: forty four, forty and thirty as well as later on

1424
01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: a ninety four yard touchdown run on the ground from

1425
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:23,599
Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love. So Notre Dame having some explosivity in this

1426
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:27,200
Speaker 1: offense is definitely a welcome addition compared to what we

1427
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:27,840
Speaker 1: saw year ago.

1428
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:33,160
Speaker 2: Fair Enough, Arkansas was up two touchdowns in the fourth

1429
01:12:33,240 --> 01:12:36,759
Speaker 2: quarter seventeen on answered from Mississippi State in a great comeback.

1430
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:39,479
Speaker 2: They score with I think under a minute left, Yeah,

1431
01:12:39,920 --> 01:12:43,639
Speaker 2: a blake shape and pass about twenty yards out. Get

1432
01:12:43,720 --> 01:12:47,759
Speaker 2: on the winning side of things. In the SEC Fresno

1433
01:12:47,840 --> 01:12:51,719
Speaker 2: State laid the lumber on Boise State, who loses Maddox

1434
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 2: Madson early can't throw the ball at all, still win

1435
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 2: by three plus touchdowns. Good for Fresno. It's been a

1436
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 2: bit of a lumpy year. In year one under matt Enz,

1437
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 2: there was some like Army beat Air Force, you know

1438
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 2: for the Commander in Chief trophy, Uh, you know, scoreboard.

1439
01:13:07,320 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 2: I guess it still seems like Navy is in a

1440
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 2: good spot for that, but I guess you never know.

1441
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 2: My dear Buffalo Bulls go to four and one in

1442
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:18,599
Speaker 2: the MAC. They destroy Bowling Green on the road, New

1443
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,879
Speaker 2: Mexico fight Jason X back and forth with the UNLV

1444
01:13:23,840 --> 01:13:24,360
Speaker 2: on the road.

1445
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:27,200
Speaker 1: How about utsa knocking off two lane man.

1446
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 2: Buddy, And there was bad blood in that game. I

1447
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:31,600
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw that. I did, but it

1448
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 2: was Jeff Trailer talking about accusations from John Sumrawl about

1449
01:13:37,400 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 2: piping in noise in the Alamodome, and then Jake Retz

1450
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,760
Speaker 2: laugh gave an interview before the game where he said

1451
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 2: he doesn't lose here because he won in the bowl

1452
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:48,960
Speaker 2: game last year. And then Owen McCown and UTSA he

1453
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 2: missed too, paolished him here.

1454
01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, for three seventy and four touchdowns.

1455
01:13:55,920 --> 01:13:58,080
Speaker 2: It's been a weird year for UTSA. That that was

1456
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 2: out Thursday night, Friday night. That was during the week.

1457
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 2: That was great. Florida State laid the lumber on Wake

1458
01:14:04,439 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 2: raising my hand up. Totally wrong about that one.

1459
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:07,840
Speaker 1: James same here.

1460
01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:12,160
Speaker 2: Florida State finally wins a conference game, speaking of, and

1461
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 2: I think that's all I have. Oregon State held on

1462
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 2: to beat Wazoo in a kind of a clunker of

1463
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:19,800
Speaker 2: a game, ten to seven. That's the first part of

1464
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:22,880
Speaker 2: their home and home San Diego State. We talked about

1465
01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:25,800
Speaker 2: which team in the G six side of things has

1466
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,439
Speaker 2: a good chance. San Diego State has not lost in

1467
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 2: the Mountain West. They're quietly creeping. Their defense has been

1468
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:37,559
Speaker 2: lights out and that's Sean Lewis offensive guy. They've been very,

1469
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 2: very good this year.

1470
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 1: And you know another team creeping. Tell me James Madison, oh.

1471
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,799
Speaker 2: Man, they're not creeping. They're beating everybody by three touchdowns.

1472
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:47,840
Speaker 1: But yeah, they won fifty two to twenty other Texas

1473
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: State a Lonza Barnett, who is now reinstalled as a

1474
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:55,720
Speaker 1: quarterback two sixty four and four touchdowns through the air,

1475
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:58,519
Speaker 1: had close to one hundred on the ground and another touchdown.

1476
01:14:59,360 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 1: They steam rolled Texas State. This was a really nice

1477
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:03,719
Speaker 1: win for the Dukes.

1478
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,040
Speaker 2: I like that you said reinstalled as if he was

1479
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:07,879
Speaker 2: an exiled former leader.

1480
01:15:07,960 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: Well, he was hurt, you.

1481
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:11,639
Speaker 2: Know, and the Gorilla troops put him back in power. Yeah,

1482
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:13,320
Speaker 2: he was hurt. Start of the year.

1483
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:19,320
Speaker 1: There was some you know, disparity between him and Sluca Sluca. Yeah,

1484
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: not disparity, but some some some questions as to who

1485
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:26,880
Speaker 1: Bobby Chaz would go with. So true, we got a.

1486
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:27,759
Speaker 2: Bunch of phone calls.

1487
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:31,600
Speaker 1: Here are your week ten reverbs that dialed into eight

1497
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 7: of the Marshall Thunder. I heard Ante cookies for purely

1498
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:04,160
Speaker 7: players safety reasons. I think it's time for us to

1499
01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,439
Speaker 7: eliminate the second half and only play it for ten.

1500
01:16:07,120 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1501
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,840

1509
01:16:32,600 --> 01:16:36,280
Speaker 5: Winning is the skill, and I'm so thankful it's when

1510
01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:39,240
Speaker 5: Jonathan Smith hasn't figured out the Big ten this year

1511
01:16:39,320 --> 01:16:42,519
Speaker 5: looks break. Mario Christo butt strikes again.

1512
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:44,520
Speaker 1: Some teams win their clunkers.

1513
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 6: Some teams are coached by Mario Christobal.

1514
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:48,200
Speaker 4: Hey, this is Katie.

Speaker 5: Colin forfaet Zill Arkansas.

1516
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:54,959
Speaker 6: Do interim coaches need to buy out because our offense

1517
01:16:55,240 --> 01:16:56,000
Speaker 6: is bad?

1518
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,760
Speaker 2: What a joy it is to be a Maryland football fan.

1519
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:04,600
Speaker 5: Is it an American to want J and U to

1520
01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:08,080
Speaker 5: be in the college football playoffs? Go Duke, Arizona Wildcats,

Speaker 5: slicing and dicing out the buffs.

1523
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 2: All right. Let's see how many passing yards it takes

1524
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 2: to beat Boise State at home in twenty twenty five?

1525
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:23,679
Speaker 2: Thirty five passing yards. That's a lot of yards.

1526
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,880
Speaker 5: Raise your hand if you knew Hawaii with six and two.

1527
01:17:27,040 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 3: So my wife is a Seminole fan. She had a

1528

1529
01:17:34,120 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 3: to wait. So she just beat her husband Team five million.
