Speaker 4: We have the az techs an afternoon kickoff at the

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 4: New Mexico Bowl. I'll be on the call for that

21
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 4: game against the Mean Green North Texas, so looking forward

22
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 4: to that one. Although, like you guys have been watching

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 4: throughout bowl season, I have absolutely.

24
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: No idea who's going to be on the field. For

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: either thesemes, right, I.

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: Say that weird. It's so weird, isn't it?

27
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, so great, it is.

28
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 4: It's very challenging for a broadcaster, but the people I feel. Look,

29
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 4: I'm going to be there and those checks will clear

30
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 4: and life's good.

31
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 3: Right.

32
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 4: But here's the thing, And you'll never hear me complain

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 4: about being able to go and watch ball from the

34
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: best seat in the house. But here's the thing. This

35
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 4: sport is about the fans. All sports are about the fans,

36
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 4: and I think right now, college football, for reasons, is

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 4: handing in a lesser and lesser product with the way

38
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 4: things are set up, with transfer, portal and coaching changes.

39
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 4: Like we got two teams who between the two of them,

40
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 4: we don't we don't even have the same coaching staff.

41
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 4: Then the last game of the regular season, So I digress.

42
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: I'll step down from the soapbox to say I love

43
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 4: football and I can't wait to call this football game.

44
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 4: But it's just gonna look a lot different to the

45
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: fans of North Texas and San Diego State than it

46
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: did the final game of the regular season.

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: And that's just where we're at in college football right now.

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 5: And just imagine if the committee got the playoff right,

49
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 5: and we wouldn't have had to watch JMU and Tulane

50
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 5: just get absolutely blasted last Saturday.

51
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 2: We could have watched me.

52
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 5: Did they ever Oregon play notre ed A or Oregon

53
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 5: play BYU?

54
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: I think those now, to be fair, those games. One

55
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: of those games might have been a blowout too.

56
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 5: You never know, but I think it's impossible for anyone

57
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 5: to look at me in the eyes and say, yeah,

58
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 5: JAMU is a playoff team this year. I just I'm sorry,

59
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 5: I just I'll never get there on this inclusivity stuff

60
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 5: with football. Basketball is a different sport. Don't give me

61
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 5: the it works for March Madness. There's sixty eight teams,

62
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 5: we have twelve. The rosters are different, you need more players.

63
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 5: Totally different sport, not the same, not the same argument.

64
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 5: I hear that all the time. I put that take

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 5: out there.

66
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, it works for March madness. Basketball is

67
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: a different sport, apples to oranges. But I digress too.

68
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: Good morning everyone, man. If we go down the train

69
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 2: the street of what I rather would have seen, I

70
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: rather would have seen my Irish against old Miss than

71
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: yeah miss smacking around, yeah smacking around a two lane again,

72
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: you know. So, but hey, that's the system that we

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: have right now. We'll see what tweaks they make going forward.

74
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you a school that made a huge tweak.

75
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 2: How about Michigan hiring Kyle Whittingham kind of out of nowhere.

76
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 2: This was going to be the Swan song. You know,

77
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 2: he was going to coach the Bowl game at Utah

78
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: and that was going to be it head coach for

79
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 2: over two decades there. And now the next thing we know,

80
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,479
Speaker 2: Michigan with their goofy timeline, right, Sharon Moore got fired

81
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: four cause after the whole coaching carousel was pretty much

82
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: over with, and they end up with Kyle Whittingham, who's

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: a respected name. Could do a whole lot worse than

84
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: Kyle Whittingham in the situation that Michigan was in. So

85
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 2: now all of a sudden, Kyle Whittingham's like, buy you's sorry,

86
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 2: You're on your own in the bowl game. I gotta

87
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 2: go to the mazing Blue over here. I got work

88
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: to do.

89
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 3: Man.

90
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 2: So he's joining Michigan right away and sixty six years old.

91
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: I don't know how long he wants to keep coaching,

92
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 2: but for the short term, this is a great hire

93
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: for Michigan because they were left like the music ended

94
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 2: and there were no there was no seats available, there

95
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: was nowhere to sit. All these coaches had been hired

96
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: at these new places. So to get Whittingham I think

97
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: that's a great get for Michigan for the short term.

98
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 2: And you want to you know, established culture, you know,

99
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: make everything steady, get rid of all the craziness that

100
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 2: was transpiring with you know, Charon Moore hooking up with

101
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 2: undergrads and you got you got to have something steady, firm.

102
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 2: That's whittingham Man. So for the short term I love it.

103
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, on the con side, and I'll lead with that

104
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 4: before we get to the pros, which I think outweigh

105
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 4: the negatives by leaps and bounds. Here he's going to

106
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 4: finish this contract when he's seventy one. You know, you

107
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 4: look at the age of a head coach and you say, well,

108
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 4: does that really matter anymore? You know, guys are able

109
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 4: to keep in shape and cognitively be there the whole way.

110
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, look, I played for a seventy year old

111
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 4: coach in college. He was closer to eighty than he

112
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: was to sixty. And to be perfectly honest with you.

113
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 4: There there is a generation gap or a couple when

114
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 4: you have that situation, and so relating to the locker

115
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 4: room is going to be a challenge the further and

116
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 4: further that gap becomes. So that's something that obviously he's

117
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 4: gonna have to focus on in his journey as a

118
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: head coach as he gets up there. But but you know, look,

119
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: the pros are they're not gonna have to worry about

120
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 4: interns now with Kyle Whittingham. That guy is as steady

121
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 4: as steady gets. I mean, this is a guy who

122
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 4: cares about football and football and football. You're not gonna

123
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 4: have any of the extracurriculars and what That's what Michigan needs.

124
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 4: They need a football man to head up this program.

125
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 4: They can't have any Shenanigans, you know, because look they

126
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: they didn't hire Sharon Moore as much as adopt him

127
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: from the Jim Harbaugh coaching tree. And let's be honest,

128
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 4: that coaching tree wasn't or the way the program was

129
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 4: being run while Jim Harbaugh was there. It's not exactly

130
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 4: like he was a choir boy either. I mean, that

131
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 4: whole that whole situation got real Dicey and he got

132
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 4: out of Dodge and he went, I'm going to the NFL.

133
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: Piece out, Everybody go Michigan. I'm a Michigan man until

134
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,119
Speaker 4: I ain't because the scene's getting a little too hot. Well,

135
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: you know, with Kyle Whittingham getting back to this higher there's.

136
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: Gonna be none of this.

137
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 4: I mean, he's had a clean coaching record his entire

138
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 4: time at Utah, his entire time before that. They're gonna

139
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: have a strong defense, They're gonna have a strong running game.

140
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 4: They're gonna emphasize of building this team from a recruiting

141
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 4: standpoint from the inside out. That means having a tremendous

142
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 4: defensive line, a tremendous offensive line. I mean, Michigan for

143
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 4: the next five years is going to feed into the

144
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 4: NFL some well groomed offensive and defensive lineman because that's

145
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 4: what he's all about. That's what he's gonna try to

146
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: do at the big ten level. And I think it's

147
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 4: a solid higher.

148
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree everything Rich said.

149
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 5: I think there's definitely a level of professionalism with Kyle.

150
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: You got let me ask you guys a question. Do

151
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: you guys believe in coincidences?

152
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: Yes, something y out. But yeah, of course I believe

153
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: in coincidence.

154
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 5: So Sharon Moore was fired on December tenth, it was

155
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 5: a Wednesday, and then it was basically the next day

156
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 5: that Kyle Whittingham announced he was stepping down, like literally

157
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 5: the next day. And it was also the day after

158
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 5: Utah made their big announcement with their deal with the

159
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 5: private equity firm, So it was like a in a

160
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,199
Speaker 5: twenty four to forty eight hour span, it was Sharon

161
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 5: Moore fired, Utah announces massive groundbreaking private equity deal, then

162
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 5: Kyle Whittingham steps down, and now two.

163
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: Weeks later he's that coach of Michigan.

164
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 5: Again, I do sometimes believe in coincidences, lesser these days,

165
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 5: after you go through more life, you realize that everything's

166
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 5: kind of connected. I thought the timeline of that was

167
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 5: just fascinating. I'm not saying there's any funny business going

168
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 5: on or anything.

169
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 2: I just thought it was a.

170
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 5: Very fascinating timeline that it was almost back to back

171
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 5: to back where you had the Utah deal announced, Sharon Moore, fired, Whittingham,

172
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 5: steps down, and now literally within two weeks he's the head.

173
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: Coach of Michigan.

174
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 5: And I thought it was very fortuitous timing for Michigan, because,

175
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 5: as Brian alluded to at the top of the segment,

176
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 5: they could have been left out in the cold here

177
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 5: because of the timing of the shro and more stuff.

178
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 5: I mean that you want to talk about the worst

179
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 5: possible time. There's never a good time for what happened

180
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 5: to happen, But that was the worst possible time. It

181
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 5: was right smack dab in the middle of the portal

182
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 5: and all of the recruiting stuff that goes on right

183
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,599
Speaker 5: yet signing day, the portal period will open up in

184
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 5: a couple of the transferportal period open up in about

185
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 5: a week. I mean, it was like peak recruiting time,

186
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,320
Speaker 5: and it was like whoa Like, now Michigan doesn't have

187
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 5: a head coach, like they were on the verge of

188
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 5: really missing out and really losing a lot of recruits.

189
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: I don't know how many they'll be able to keep.

190
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 5: We'll see what the portal looks like, We'll see what

191
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 5: price Underwood' decision, like, like all of these things are now

192
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 5: going to be a little bit I would say cleaner

193
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 5: now that they have a coach that I think can

194
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 5: handle his business. But if it wasn't going to be Whittingham,

195
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 5: like if the Utah thing didn't work out in Michigan's favor,

196
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 5: where Whittingham did step down because make no mistake about it,

197
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 5: he wasn't fired, He wasn't let go like he chose

198
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 5: to step down. And I think it's been in the

199
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 5: works for a while based on what I heard, that

200
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 5: this was the year he was going to do it.

201
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 5: But it was a very, i would say again, unique

202
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 5: exit for him for a guy that's been there for

203
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 5: a very long time, to not really be fired, to

204
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 5: be pushed out like it was kind of a mutual thing.

205
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 5: And the timing of it, I think for Michigan was

206
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 5: awful on the Sean More end, but it kind of

207
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 5: like they kind of luck boxed. Both Penn State and

208
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 5: Michigan both kind of failed up to a pretty damn

209
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 5: good head coaching person. And I think that is is

210
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 5: always funny when it works out that way, because it

211
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 5: wasn't either of those teams plans to land Campbell or Whittingham,

212
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 5: but it does seem like it kind of worked out

213
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 5: for both programs.

214
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: You know, I do get because if it wasn't going

215
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 2: to be Kyle Whittingham, it might have been Biff Pogi,

216
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 2: who was the interim head coach, where there were a

217
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 2: lot of things written about that, where hey, maybe for

218
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: a year or two, he's the interim guy and they

219
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: name him the head coach, and he's there for he's

220
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 2: a bridge guy, you know, he's there for a little

221
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: bit of time and try to steady everything. But I

222
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 2: get ed Orgeron at USC vibes right from Biff Pogi

223
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: at Michigan, where both both both schools looked at these guys,

224
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 2: is like they're interim guys, Like I don't know if

225
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: we really would right, Like, don't you feel like that

226
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: with Biff? But it didn't come to that for Michigan

227
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: they were able to hire Whittingham. And I think what's

228
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 2: interesting too is you got to immediately recruit price Underwood.

229
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: That's the first item of business for Kyle Whittingham. And

230
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 2: I want to see I want to see going forward.

231
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: I would like to suggest two recruiting grades. Right, it's

232
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: the obvious one, which is the high school guys that

233
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 2: you recruit, like, hey, Michigan is fifth in recruiting that.

234
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 2: I want to also hear another list, which is the

235
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 2: guys on your own team that you're constantly recruiting, right

236
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 2: I want to know what the rankings are in terms

237
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 2: of who's lost the most. I want to see a

238
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: little you know, one through five, one through ten, as

239
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 2: far as that goes, who's lost the most talent. It's

240
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: one thing to get talent coming in, but how much

241
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 2: talent is going out? And so right now, for Kyle

242
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: Winningham at Michigan, job number one is to recruit the

243
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: guys you already have because they might not be there anymore.

244
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 3: It's a good point.

245
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 2: Did we lose Rich I don't know.

246
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: He might be.

247
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 2: He might have lost for he's getting ready for the

248
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 2: new Mexicans. Might he might be betting the Hoosiers. No,

249
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: he wouldn't do that.

250
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 5: He's throwing his money away. We're gonna follow that one

251
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 5: a little bit later. Listen, the recruiting situation in college.

252
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: Foot for right now is an absolute disaster.

253
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 5: It's and it's not because it's changed a whole lot

254
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 5: from what happened in the last couple of years. I

255
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 5: think the transfer portals changed things a little bit, but

256
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 5: the transferport has been around for a few years. It's

257
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 5: really the timing of everything. It's the calendar, and it

258
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 5: goes back to Rich's point from the top of the

259
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 5: Segment's it's about where these teams are situated when the

260
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 5: most important games are being played.

261
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: Let's compare.

262
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 5: I know I said don't compare this sport to March Madness,

263
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 5: but let's compare the schedule. At least imagine the Sweet

264
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 5: sixteen is about to start and Rick Patino is coaching

265
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 5: Saint John's and all of a sudden he decides to

266
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 5: leave and go back to Louisville, like in the middle

267
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 5: of this in the March Madness tournament. Like that's kind

268
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 5: of the equivalent of what we're dealing with here. A

269
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 5: and m was dealing with it. Their offensive coordinator was gone.

270
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 5: Oregon's got both coordinators that are gone. We've got the

271
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 5: old missed situation. And obviously the bowl games are different

272
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 5: because they're not playoff games. But we have teams that

273
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 5: are in the playoff that have coaches that are all

274
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 5: over the map, like literally, uh, you're gonna see Ryan

275
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 5: Day Ohio State, Yeah, callin plays.

276
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,199
Speaker 2: Callin plays. He hasn't done that in two years.

277
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 5: And that's because Brian Hartline, of course, going to USF

278
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 5: like this is unprecedented territory. And that is not a

279
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 5: product of the coaches trying to get theirs. They are

280
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 5: handcuffed by the calendar. And until we change the calendar

281
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 5: and back this recruiting train up a little bit, this

282
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 5: is what it's gonna be, and the coaches just kind

283
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 5: of have to adapt to it.

284
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, like we're gonna see coaches on the move here

285
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: and there. You can't have the portal on top of it.

286
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: You can't have the portal the wind the only window,

287
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 2: not like two windows, and this is one of the

288
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: first two. And no, this is the only one. And

289
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: it's smack dab during the playoff. Like you gotta you

290
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 2: gotta change the timeline. It can be done. It has

291
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: to be done. You gotta start this season earlier. If

292
00:14:56,960 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: that what what? What's what has to happen? You just

293
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 2: can't have the window open. You would never have NFL

294
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 2: free agency open. Smack dab during the NFL playoffs. Now,

295
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 2: that's exactly what you have in college football. It makes

296
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: absolutely no sense. I know, you got to get these

297
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 2: kids cleared so they can go to school, and you

298
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: know there's a whole process to be able to do that.

299
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: You need some ramp up time. But there's a way.

300
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: There has to be a way to not have free

301
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: agency open during the college football playoffs. Well, you just

302
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 2: nailed it. You have to get them into school.

303
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 3: Why what? Like?

304
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 5: And I know that sounds crazy because they're student athletes,

305
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 5: but can we stop tying the calendar for sports and

306
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 5: college football to the academic calendar?

307
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: Enough?

308
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 5: This is minor league football at this point, they're not

309
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 5: student athletes anymore. We have grown past that point where

310
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 5: we need to make sure they're registered for history class

311
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 5: and calculus like it's that needs to stop. And I

312
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 5: know that makes it seem like they're better than the

313
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 5: average student, but let's be honest, they are and we

314
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 5: have to just look at this through the lens of truth.

315
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 5: These are not students anymore. We have grown past that

316
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 5: at these at these prestigious universities, and don't get me wrong,

317
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 5: they are prestigious learning higher you know, institutions of higher learning.

318
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 5: But we have now separated the classes. It is football

319
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 5: and it is everything else and the football players. Unfortunately,

320
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 5: because of this situation we have with the portal, we

321
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 5: need to make adjustments on the academic calendar. We cannot

322
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 5: be waiting for some admissions director to allow these kids

323
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 5: in before we can get like. It's just I think

324
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 5: we need to clean that process up, and I do

325
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 5: think it starts with unlinking the academic calendar to the

326
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 5: athletic calendar.

327
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: All right, that's shared Smith FSR Betting analyst Rich Orenberger

373
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: the playoff games, we've got four good matchups. How about

374
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 2: you start off with a little bit of a breakfast

375
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: if you will. You know when you have breakfast. This

376
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 2: is an afternoon game, so it's not the first game

377
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 2: of the day, but a three point thirty pm Eastern kick,

378
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 2: you know, right around noon West Coast time, nuonish. You

379
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 2: know you still might be rolling out of bed late

380
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 2: Friday night. You know, get you some pop tarts, right,

381
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 2: I go cherry pop tarts myself. I've toasted great, untoasted

382
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: just as good apple cinnamon. That's right. You could go

383
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 2: apple cinnamon if you would like as well, but I

384
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 2: go cherry myself. That's my go to. You got Georgia

385
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: Tech against BYU in the pop Tarts Bowl. It's a

386
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 2: good matchup. I like the quarterback matchup with Haines King

387
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: bear Bachmeyer number forty seven. I still can't get over there.

388
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 2: It has done his thing. True freshman quarterback had a really

389
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: good season. A shame he got banged up in the

390
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 2: Big twelve championship game against Texas Tech. He was literally

391
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 2: on one leg. He was on one wheel and can't

392
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 2: move around, couldn't scramble, extend plays, pick up yards with

393
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: his legs, and that completely bogged down the BYU offense.

394
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 2: But the only team that BYU has lost to this

395
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: season is Texas Tech. Now, granted they got blown out

396
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 2: both games, but against Georgia Tech, it's a good matchup.

397
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: I'm interested in this game. Little pop Tart's action here,

398
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 2: and I love the end zones decorated very nicely with

399
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: the Pop Tarts vibe on the field in the end zones.

400
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 2: Very nice with the sprinkles and all that good stuff.

401
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is I think of the matchups that aren't

402
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 5: in the CFP, I think this is one of my

403
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 5: favorite ones. A big fan of bear Bachmeyer. I've watched

404
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 5: a ton of film on him this year. Wasn't right

405
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 5: with the Big twelve championship prediction that he would be

406
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 5: able to do enough to keep that Texas Tech defense

407
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 5: at bay. But I'll be honest, the more film I

408
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 5: watch on Texas Tech, oh my goodness, gracious, that's the

409
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,800
Speaker 5: nastiest defensive line in the sport.

410
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 2: People. Just wait till that game against Oregon next week.

411
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 2: I think that game is going to be an absolute war.

412
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,320
Speaker 5: BYU to me, is kind of going through some trainition,

413
00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 5: really tough situation in the backfield for them.

414
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: So LJ. Martin is one of the best backs in.

415
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:10,600
Speaker 5: College Football's out the surgery and the backup is also

416
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 5: out Moa.

417
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 2: I think that's his name. I always get his name wrong,

418
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 2: so own Moa.

419
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 5: So you've got two backup or two running backs both

420
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 5: out for BYU in this game. I think that's gonna

421
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 5: give BYU a little bit more freedom and bear Bachmeyer

422
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 5: a little bit more freedom. Like it's always interesting when

423
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 5: I'm handicapping bowl games that don't matter, and they all matter,

424
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 5: but obviously the College wall playoffs really matters, and these

425
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 5: games are kind of like exhibitions on display. The situation

426
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 5: and the mentality, to me, is the most important thing,

427
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 5: and sometimes it stares you in the face, like it

428
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 5: just hits you right.

429
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: Over the head.

430
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 5: Who the more motivated team is For BYU, You're coming

431
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 5: off of a game against Texas Tech where you got

432
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 5: absolutely blasted, like you got your lunch handed to you.

433
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 5: And even though this game technically doesn't matter, I always

434
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,120
Speaker 5: say that you don't want to end.

435
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: Your season on a sour note.

436
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,479
Speaker 5: And if that's the last thing that you were dealt,

437
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 5: is Texas Tech just handing you your lunch for sixty minutes.

438
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 5: I can see BYU being very up for this game,

439
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 5: and I think they've got something to prove right and

440
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 5: I would have loved to see. And I understand why

441
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 5: Notre Dame opted out because they wanted to put Notre

442
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 5: Dame in BYU in this game together and make it

443
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 5: the Snub Bowl, but Notre Dame was having none of it.

444
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,320
Speaker 5: I think BYU is gonna come out a little bit upset.

445
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 5: I think they're gonna come out pissed off. I like

446
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,120
Speaker 5: teams that are coming off of all blowout in their

447
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 5: conference championship game if they do play in a non

448
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 5: CFP game, I think those teams have.

449
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: A little bit of an extra chip on their shoulder.

450
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 5: And Bachmeyer, who's a freshman quarterback that's trying to get

451
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 5: some momentum heading into a sophomore year.

452
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: I can see him having a really good game. I

453
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 2: think rich Meister is back in with us too. You

454
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 2: got them pop parts Bowl. Actually, we'll have a pop

455
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 2: partt you enjoyed the most there, you know what?

456
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to leave because I heard the toaster pop.

457
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,480
Speaker 3: And so s'mores. Smores is my favorite flavor of solid.

458
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 3: I mean it's an oldie, big goodie. Yeah, I mean,

459
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 3: I I.

460
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 4: Agree with the emotion behind both of these teams in

461
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 4: this game. I think I think in a lot of ways,

462
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 4: these Bowl games offer an opportunity for a little bit

463
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 4: of on field vent session for the players who are

464
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 4: still available to play. You know, speaking about this game analytically,

465
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 4: like what I think we're going to see is two

466
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 4: games or two teams in this game who like to

467
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 4: run the football, who run the football really effectively, and

468
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 4: we're going to see that being the focus, especially with

469
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 4: rosters turning over and you know, you you have nil

470
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 4: holdouts and you have transfer portal, you know, announcements the

471
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 4: day of the game and things like we've seen across

472
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 4: college football's landscape over the past couple of years, but

473
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 4: has been accentuated this season. I think I think we're

474
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 4: gonna see a more simplistic game plan from both these teams,

475
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 4: where you lean into what you do really well, which

476
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 4: has run the ball. I mean the Cougars, They've rushed

477
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 4: it for close to one hundred eighty five yards per

478
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 4: game on average. We know Georgia Tech likes to run

479
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 4: the football. So then looking at it from the betting

480
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 4: or the handicap standpoint, I think the under is probably

481
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 4: in play today. You know, you think about what happens

482
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,680
Speaker 4: when you focus on the run game for one team

483
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 4: or or both teams in this in this occasion, the

484
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 4: way I think this game could go, I think this

485
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: could be a more low scoring affair. So yeah, I mean,

486
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 4: looking forward to it, I think that I think that

487
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,880
Speaker 4: anytime you get a good matchup, and I believe this

488
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 4: is a good matchup in a bowl game, it should

489
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 4: be exciting. But I do think if you're you're thinking

490
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 4: this is going to be a downfield game where both

491
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 4: teams are going to air it out a ton, I

492
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,239
Speaker 4: don't think this is the game for you. I think

493
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 4: it's going to be a little bit more of a

494
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 4: slug fast up front.

495
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's a good way to start bowlseason, if

496
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 2: you will. As we are where we are in this,

497
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 2: you know, in this stage of it where you get

498
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 2: your little breakfast pop tarts action, Now we get the

499
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 2: main course. Yeah, we get a four course dinner over here.

500
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: Right with these four college football playoff games, the first

501
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: one will be on Wednesday, that'll be New Year's Eve,

502
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 2: the Cotton Bowl. We've got Miami against Ohio State. Ohio

503
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 2: State a very healthy nine and a half point favorite here,

504
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: and man, you can't help but think about the last

505
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 2: game Ohio State played. They played IU. They had all

506
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 2: kinds of trouble against the pass rush of the Hoosiers.

507
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 2: What do you think is going to happen against Miami.

508
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 2: Miami's defensive line is nasty. Ruben Bain, Junior mesidor these

509
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 2: guys can get after the quarterbacks. I'm really interested to

510
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: see how Ohio State's offensive line handles the pass rush

511
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 2: of Miami. Miami plays good rush defense as well, so

512
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: just when Ohio State has the ball, I can't wait

513
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,120
Speaker 2: to see that. And I'm also interested in Carson Beck, right,

514
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 2: like Can Carson Beck play a good football game? Can

515
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 2: he be mistake free, turnover free, at least not have

516
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 2: like three or four turnovers? Okay, you have one. He

517
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 2: threw into double coverage. You got a little greedy, fine, Okay,

518
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: we'll give you a mull again. But can't be more

519
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: than one. Can he play a clean game? He's thrown

520
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 2: the ball quickly two point three to three seconds, the

521
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 2: third fastest in the entire FBS. That's a good sign

522
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: against Ohio State. But he's gonna have to get rid

523
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 2: of the ball quickly. Both quarterbacks are get rid of

524
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: the ball quickly, be smart with it, mistake free, as

525
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 2: close to mistake free as possible. But that's a lot

526
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 2: of points in my book. With that defense that Miami

527
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 2: has nine and a half, that's not gonna be easy

528
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: to cover. I don't think so.

529
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I agree. I think.

530
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 4: I think what we're going to see is exactly what

531
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 4: you just said. We're gonna see the more mistake free

532
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 4: team win this game. And I feel like going against

533
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 4: a Matt Patricia defense like you're going to see with

534
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 4: Ohio State, where they're going to disguise coverages, especially with

535
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 4: the bye week, they're going to have extended time to

536
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 4: work on things that they do well, which is you know,

537
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,399
Speaker 4: show blitz and bail or you know, blitz from depth

538
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 4: where the picture changes at the snap of the football.

539
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 4: One thing that's really come to light recently in college

540
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 4: football with some of these multiple bye week opportunities for teams.

541
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 4: You know, certain teams, especially if you're playing into the

542
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 4: college football you're going to get three bye weeks during

543
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 4: a season and some length of time in between games

544
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 4: at times if you continue on the path toward a

545
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 4: national championship or national championship birth, which gives these coordinators

546
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,120
Speaker 4: a lot more time to tinker with stuff, and sometimes

547
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 4: you can over tinker, but sometimes you know, it's just

548
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,920
Speaker 4: enough time to get in the lab and really create

549
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 4: something special. So I think in the case of Miami, man,

550
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to adjust at halftime.

551
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 3: You're gonna see some stuff.

552
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 4: They've had a lot of time to work on some stuff,

553
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 4: So you better be ready for some specials, both defensively

554
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 4: and offensively and have some good halftime adjustments. So I

555
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 4: think this is gonna be a game of two halves.

556
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 4: And then you know, if if you're Ohio State, you

557
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 4: gotta find a way to knock off the stale. You

558
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 4: gotta find a way to knock off the rust. You've

559
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 4: been sitting around for a little while. You gotta oil

560
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 4: the joints and get out there and make sure you

561
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 4: don't get off the bus in the second half. That

562
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 4: you remember the game starts at kickoff, because that's a

563
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 4: long two week wait before facing your first opponent in

564
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 4: the college football playoff.

565
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 2: Yeah. Pressure and time.

566
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 5: Those are the two things that I noticed in this

567
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,080
Speaker 5: game when I did my deep dive. I mean, Baine

568
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 5: and Mesador were unbelievable against A and M last week,

569
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 5: guys eighteen combined pressures, they were a problem, big problem

570
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 5: Miami at two and a half seconds or less. This year,

571
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 5: they have the second most pressures in the second most sacks.

572
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 5: So even when quarterbacks get the ball out quick, they

573
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 5: still are generating pressure and creating havoc. Now, Julian Saane's

574
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 5: been fantastic getting it out quick this year. Eighty percent

575
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 5: completion rate, sixth highest in the FBS. Eight yards per

576
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 5: tenp top five passing grade when throwing it at two

577
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,480
Speaker 5: and a half seconds or less, So that quick.

578
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: Passing game is gonna be huge.

579
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 5: Can Miami get the kind of pressure on saying that

580
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 5: Indiana got in in the Big Ten title game.

581
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 2: How much will Miami.

582
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 5: Blitz and leave those corners one on one on the

583
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 5: outside with Tate and and Smith and Innos in that

584
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 5: elite group of Ohio State receivers. We saw Miami actually

585
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:46,280
Speaker 5: blitz Marcell read a lot, But that's a very different vibe.

586
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 5: Marcel Reid, to me, is not the same quarterback as

587
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 5: Julian saying. Nor does A and M have the same

588
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 5: receiving group as Ohio State. So if you blitz, saying,

589
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 5: you leave your corners a little bit vulnerable, and really

590
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 5: bo Jackson is the one who creates the balance. Two

591
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 5: freshmen nearly seven hundred yards after contact. That's the most

592
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:09,360
Speaker 5: among power for freshmen this year. Can Ohio State create

593
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 5: that balance and create that uncertainty?

594
00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 2: Are you gonna throw it? Are you gonna run it?

595
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 5: If Miami's stopping the run and it's all on Julian saying,

596
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 5: it's gonna be a lot harder. On the other side,

597
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 5: Brian mentioned it. Carson Beck very good at getting the

598
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 5: ball out quick. His average time to throw right this

599
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 5: year two point three seconds. That's the third fastest in

600
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 5: college football. Miami does a really good job at protecting.

601
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 5: They've got a great offensive line. The key is when

602
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 5: Beck actually is blitzed and pressured, that's when his time

603
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,880
Speaker 5: to throw rate drops from about two point two down

604
00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 5: to three point three.

605
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: And what to me.

606
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 5: That means is he's just not as decisive when the

607
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 5: picture changes.

608
00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: And I think that's gonna be key.

609
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 5: I do think if I was Matt Patricia, I would

610
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 5: blitz the heck at a Carson Beck.

611
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: I would make him get the ball out quick.

612
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 5: I would make him make quick decisions because when you

613
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 5: pressure him, that's when things get a little bit muddy.

614
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 2: Again. When he's kept clean and he's.

615
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,959
Speaker 5: Been kept clean a lot this year because Miami's offensive

616
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 5: line is elite, he gets it out fast. He makes

617
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 5: easy decisions. He is a point guard distributor. But when

618
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 5: you blitz him and you get pressure on him, he's

619
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 5: kind of an average quarterback. I would say maybe below average.

620
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 5: He can't use his legs right. When you blitz a quarterback,

621
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 5: you activate their legs. That's not something that's a factor

622
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 5: with Carson Beck. And I do think if if I

623
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 5: was Matt Patricia, I would be sending dudes styles Reese

624
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 5: off the edge. I mean, they've got guys up front too.

625
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 5: They trust their front four. They love the inside guys

626
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 5: that can stop the run. They don't have to bring

627
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 5: extra pressure to commit. I really think the Ohio State defense,

628
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 5: to me, is the unit that's going to cause the

629
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 5: most havoc in this game.

630
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, we mentioned it while you were gone, Rich.

631
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 2: We just assumed that you stepped off to fade Alabama.

632
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 2: You were backing the Hoosiers on the BEDMGM apps. That's

633
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:58,600
Speaker 2: what we concluded. But Ryan Dawn, you know me so well.

634
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 2: I know, I absolutely know over years. You don't think

635
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 2: I know my guy, Rich, Oh, of course I know you.

636
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 2: Ryan Day calling the offensive place for the Ohio State No,

637
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: Brian Hartline. He's still on the staff, but he's the

638
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 2: new head coach at South Florida, And so Ryan Day

639
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 2: was like, hey, you know, you're you're pulled in two

640
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: different directions. You know, he's getting South Florida things in

641
00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: order to program off the ground the whole thing, like

642
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:27,479
Speaker 2: his tenure started. So Ryan Day calling the offensive plays

643
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 2: I really want to see for both teams. Right when

644
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 2: you're you're throwing short, short, short, Ohio State, do you

645
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 2: have that where the corners are just biting, like here

646
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: comes the hitch and it's a hitch and go and

647
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 2: it's like, oh no. Do we start seeing those variations

648
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 2: Once the defensive backs get used to quick passes, quick passes,

649
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 2: then then you throw out the bag of tricks and

650
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 2: you hit them with the Oki dok. You know, you

651
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 2: do a little slant and go, a little hitch and

652
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 2: go those sort of things. You could see some big

653
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 2: plays after all these quick passes. So it's something to

654
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 2: keep in mind. The other thing that I think of

655
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 2: is this is the exact opposite position for Ohio State

656
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:09,440
Speaker 2: compared to last season where if you think of last season,

657
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,520
Speaker 2: they played in the first week right and they dusted

658
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 2: Tennessee and then they parlayed that into dusting Oregon and

659
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 2: Oregon to your point, Rich you talked about this, you

660
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: had to oil the joints up here. You know, Oregon

661
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: looked like a team that was stale. And so for

662
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 2: all these four teams that had buys, who looks the

663
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 2: most stale, you know what I mean? And who looks

664
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 2: like they're fresh, they're ready to go? Like the bye

665
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 2: week did them good. But that's something to keep an

666
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: eye on. I don't want to make it sound like

667
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: because Ohio State got a bye week, like they're screwed

668
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 2: here or so. I'm not saying that. It's just the

669
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: complete opposite spot that they were in last season where

670
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: they played Week one and then they looked amazing in

671
00:33:50,360 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 2: the second week. So without playing last week, without playing

672
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 2: in the first round, how did they look now after

673
00:33:56,880 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 2: Miami their opponent played last week and played a against

674
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 2: A and.

675
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 4: M Yeah, amazing defense and also really patient, good technical

676
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 4: football Offensively, I thought Beck looked like he was taking

677
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: his time but also getting the ball out in time. Really,

678
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 4: That's that's what it looked like, is is the ball

679
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 4: was just coming out, you know what I mean like it.

680
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,840
Speaker 4: You know, he would hit the final step in his

681
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 4: drop and the ball was on time. A lot of

682
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 4: the routes that you have to throw in college football

683
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 4: to defeat some of these more advanced coverages that you're facing,

684
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 4: especially when you get to this level the College Football Playoff,

685
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:39,160
Speaker 4: where all these teams are good, a lot of NFL

686
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 4: talent on the field, Like you're you're going to have

687
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 4: some elite coaches, elite thinkers at coordinator positions on these teams.

688
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 4: You know, you really have to have a great plan

689
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 4: to defeat all that I think Miami did last week

690
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,919
Speaker 4: against A and M. And I also think that they

691
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 4: made Marcel read hustle up his his his.

692
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 3: His throwing time, So it felt like the exact opposite.

693
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 4: Was happening for A and M, where he was just

694
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 4: you know, it felt like his feet were on fire

695
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 4: the whole time. And that's what Ohio State needs to

696
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 4: get away from is getting in the situation where you

697
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 4: have these long, laborious, you know, passing plays where you're

698
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 4: taking deep.

699
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 3: Drops and you're taking a lot of time on the routes.

700
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 4: Like I think the quick game is going to be

701
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 4: where they need to start, where they need a major

702
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 4: and then, like you said later in the game, open

703
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:32,439
Speaker 4: up the passing game a little bit. But a tough

704
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 4: draw for Miami having to plan for a different coordinator.

705
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 4: You know that they're going to be turning on some

706
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 4: old film of Ryan Day calling the plays.

707
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,200
Speaker 3: And see if he has any tendencies.

708
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:46,400
Speaker 4: It does switch things up, even though it's the same staff,

709
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 4: having a different play caller changes because every play caller

710
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,879
Speaker 4: has their own DNA.

711
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,359
Speaker 2: Interesting there he is. That's rich Heron Berger Penn State,

712
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 2: All American, A lover of s'mores flavored pop tarts. We

713
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 2: have Jared Smith FSR Betty analysts. We don't know your

714
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:01,960
Speaker 2: favorite flavor.

715
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:03,799
Speaker 5: I don't even remember the last time I ate a

716
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 5: pop tart, but if I had to choose one today,

717
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 5: I'll be honest. Brown sugar is really underrated when you

718
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:10,280
Speaker 5: put that sucker in the toaster.

719
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,200
Speaker 2: Really underrated brown sugar toasted. I'm Brian, no cherry pop tarts.

720
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 2: My go to call me plane, call me simple. I'm

721
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 2: a man of simple taste. You know I don't have

00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,120

748
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 2: advice right there. All right, we got the parlay platter

749
00:37:46,440 --> 00:37:48,520
Speaker 2: to do. Let's do it.

750

00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 2: with you, what do.

754
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 5: You like, Well, let's go Homer rives here today, because

755
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,719
Speaker 5: let's be honest, the parlay platter is supposed to be fun.

756
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: I was looking at the dogs today that I like.

757
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 2: Not much stood out to me.

758
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 5: But I think we're just gonna go full Homer and

759
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 5: give you a Pen State on the money line. But

760
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 5: I do have some reasoning for it. Okay, I do

761
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,960
Speaker 5: think Clemson is not. If I had to pick the

762
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,920
Speaker 5: two sides that are more up for this game, like

763
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 5: which side is more up for this game? I think

764
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 5: it's gonna be Penn State. Clemson's got a ton of

765
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,680
Speaker 5: opt outs defensively, I mean, they their defense and they

766
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 5: are known for their defense.

767
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: Seven starters opting out of this game. Woods Parker, Kate

768
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: Hart would as Terrell.

769
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:39,240
Speaker 5: I mean, there are a lot of pieces missing for Clemson.

770
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 5: There's some pieces missing for Penn State too. We'll see

771
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 5: what the k tron Allen situation looks like. He's going

772
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 5: to the Senior Bowl. I heard he might play like

773
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 5: a snap and then just collect his pay check and

774
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 5: sit out the rest of the game. Same thing with

775
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,720
Speaker 5: then identa sudden. But what have we known and noticed

776
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 5: about Penn State.

777
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 2: Down the stretch under Terry Smith.

778
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,799
Speaker 5: They are fighting man like, they are not rolling over

779
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 5: and dying. So this is a toss up game at

780
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:02,319
Speaker 5: the two and a half points bread less than a

781
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:04,720
Speaker 5: field go Clemson this light favorite. I think Penn State

782
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 5: is going to be fighting for Terry Smith to get

783
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 5: him this ballwin before the Matt Campbell er officially begins.

784
00:39:09,120 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 5: So I'll give you a Penn State on the money

785
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 5: line at plus one point fifteen to start the plotter.

786
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:17,800
Speaker 4: Okay, yeah, a little more straight up in terms of mine.

787
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 4: I'm just taking an under in a NFL game that's

788
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 4: going to be played today. You have the Chargers, who

789
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 4: clinched the playoff spot, but are looking to get that

790
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 4: number one overall seed if they can beat the Houston Texans.

791
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 4: And look, the reason why I think this goes under

792
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 4: the thirty thirty nine and a half total is because

793
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 4: LA has given up a league low two hundred and

794
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 4: fifty four and a half yards over the last eight games.

795
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 4: The Texans are on pace to be the first team

796
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 4: in seventeen years to allow two hundred and fifty passing

797
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 4: yards or excuse me not allowed two hundred and fifty

798
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 4: passing yards in a single game of the NFL season.

799
00:39:57,400 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 4: And then on top of that, they're leading the league

800
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 4: into in terms of the Houston Texans defensive both points

801
00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 4: allowed and total yards allowed. So give me the under

802
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 4: in that game all day long. I think it's gonna

803
00:40:09,160 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 4: be a slug fest and a chess match between Stroud

804
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 4: and Herbert operating against the NFL's two top defenses are

805
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 4: two of the NFL's top defenses.

806
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 3: I like it.

807
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 2: I smo, you're cooking right there. Let me bring this

808
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 2: parlay on home by fading Bama. Huh, that's the great

809
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 2: way to camp this thing off. Give me IU minus seven.

810
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 2: We've been through it. Bama can't run the ball, their

811
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,240
Speaker 2: pass rush is weak. That's a bad combination against the Hoosiers.

812
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 2: By the way, Ty Simpson is inconsistent. Bama is not

813
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 2: to be trusted. They are not, in my opinion, one

814
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,319
Speaker 2: third of this program here they are fools gold. Now

815
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: the two other thirds they ammittee disagree with that, but

816
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 2: that's the beauty of the parlay platter. You got to

817
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,160
Speaker 2: dance with the devil sometimes. So give me IU minus seven,

818
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 2: and I just love the idea of you guys having

819
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 2: to root for IU to bring this platter on homes.

820
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,600
Speaker 2: Hopefully your legs are correct and it comes down to that, baby,

821
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 2: That's what I'm hoping for.

822
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 3: Seven to one. You go.

823
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice payout all right? Coming up next a coach

824
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 2: with some interest thing words. Oh what is going on?

825
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 2: Happy Saturday to you as we get you all set

826
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 2: for some bowl games, some NFL games. A little hybrid today,

827
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,319
Speaker 2: Love this, love this. Two good NFL matchups. So why

828
00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 2: you do have backup quarterbacks in the Ravens Packers game?

829
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 2: Reminds me the one time I went to Lambo. My

830
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: mom took me there for my birthday November fourth. I

831
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,800
Speaker 2: found out the other night doing some fill in radio

832
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 2: for Big Ben Maler. Matthew McConaughey was born November fourth

833
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 2: as well. Also did he how about that? Did he

834
00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:49,720
Speaker 2: bourn November fourth? Puff?

835
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 3: Daddy?

836
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 2: Wow? So kind of interesting right there, the sports tie

837
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 2: and I always remember Dez Bryant, you know, throw up

838
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 2: the x DES was born November fourth. But anyway, we

839
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 2: went there on November fourth. It was the game where

840
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers got hurt. He broke his collar bone. So

841
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 2: it turned into it. Jay Cutler was already hurt, so

842
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 2: it turned into Josh McCown against Seneca Wallace.

843
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:10,920
Speaker 3: I was in.

844
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,239
Speaker 2: I was at the Frozen Tundra for that showdown right there.

845
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 2: But you know, shades of that, It's gonna be Malik

846
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 2: Willis and the Packers hosting what looks to be Tyler

847
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 2: Huntley in the Ravens with Lamar Jackson out with a bruise,

848
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 2: out with a bruce. You gotta be kidding me. More

849
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 2: on that next hour, that's I want to see how

850
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 2: the former offensive lineman see what he thinks about that

851
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 2: in rich Oh. But we set our sites on college football,

852
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 2: and I love this. A coach actually said something against

853
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: his team and for the betterment of college football, we'll

854
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 2: share that with you in a couple of seconds. Throughout

855
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: the entire football season, bet MGM will offer all different

856
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: types of no sweat tokens and odds boost tokens. Be

857
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,440
Speaker 2: on the lookout for no sweat same game parlay tokens,

858
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 2: parlay boost tokens, and much more. Okay, before we get

859
00:42:57,280 --> 00:43:00,640
Speaker 2: knee deep into the handicap of Oregon versus Texas Tech,

860
00:43:00,680 --> 00:43:03,839
Speaker 2: which is a brilliant matchup, there should be an absolute

861
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: like Slugfest fifteen round heavyweight fight. But I love what

862
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 2: Oregon's head coach Dan Lanning had to say. He was

863
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 2: talking about the fact that this is at a neutral site.

864
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 2: Games the Orange Bowl, so we're in Miami over here, right,

865
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 2: and he said the way we do playoffs in college

866
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 2: football is messed up. In my opinion, this game should

867
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 2: be played at Tech. There should be a home field

868
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 2: advantage for them. A men totally agree with it. I've

869
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,839
Speaker 2: been squawking ever since we went to twelve teams. We

870
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: should have all home playoff games except a championship game.

871
00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: I think it should be exactly like the NFL. They

872
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:44,840
Speaker 2: have all home games except the Super Bowl, which is

873
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,319
Speaker 2: at a neutral site. I would put the championship game

874
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 2: at the Rose Bowl every single freaking year, and I

875
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 2: would have home games throughout. That's a way to keep

876
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 2: the importance of the regular season intact. If you're fighting

877
00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:59,959
Speaker 2: for Hey, we got a chance to be a two seed.

878
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 2: That could mean home field advantage throughout the whole playoff.

879
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 2: You think teams are just gonna rest that, No, I

880
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 2: think that makes things a lot more important, and especially

881
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 2: if we eventually go to sixteen teams. I would love

882
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 2: to see home games throughout. I just don't see how

883
00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 2: this is a better situation for college football. Where are

884
00:44:18,480 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 2: you telling me, like Ole Miss Georgia between the hedges

885
00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 2: is worse than a neutral site Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Like,

886
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 2: give me home games all day. I don't see how

887
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,760
Speaker 2: bowl games are enhancing the playoff at all. They're taking

888
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 2: away from how special they could be.

889
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 4: I completely agree with Dan Lanning. I completely agree with

890
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 4: what you just said, Brian. I look at bowl season

891
00:44:45,040 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 4: as a confusing mishmash of.

892
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 3: The past and the present.

893
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:54,440
Speaker 4: It's like it doesn't know what it wants to be

894
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 4: right now.

895
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 3: And I say bowl season.

896
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 4: And it's weird to even say that, because the college

897
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 4: football Playoff.

898
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:03,120
Speaker 3: Isn't really bulls He's in.

899
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 4: It's its own separate entity, but it still has these

900
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 4: ties to these these games which are now starting to

901
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 4: feel less less important because you know, we know what

902
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,080
Speaker 4: the matchups are. And Dan Lanning, you know what I

903
00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 4: love about Dan Lanning is he's not a hypocrite in

904
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 4: in in this situation. So many coaches, they might they

905
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:29,759
Speaker 4: might quiet down when they're their team is in. Uh,

906
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 4: isn't the the benefactor of a situation like this, like

907
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:37,160
Speaker 4: where obviously Texas Tech is seeded higher and they would

908
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 4: be hosting them. You know, you quiet down about this point,

909
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 4: you know, whereas if it were you know, Oregon, who

910
00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 4: you know, potentially could host at their place, you know,

911
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 4: you know, maybe there would be a little bit more

912
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 4: chest stumping on the.

913
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 3: In the in the in the you.

914
00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 4: Know, the universe of the Duck fans getting behind a

915
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 4: rally and cry from their head coach saying, hey, we

916
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 4: need to have home games for playoff teams and blah

917
00:46:01,080 --> 00:46:01,840
Speaker 4: blah blah.

918
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:03,240
Speaker 3: No that's not what he did.

919
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 4: You know, because who knows, maybe there is going to

920
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 4: be a situation here coming in this postseason or in

921
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 4: postseasons come where Oregon, who's sort of one of these

922
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 4: new money, upstart NIL led teams that is going to

923
00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 4: have many more college football playoff berths. As you know,

924
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 4: we know that's going to be expanded probably in the

925
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 4: years to come. I support this message. I support it

926
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 4: because he would not be the benefactor of it this year,

927
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 4: and he's still saying it. It means that he walks

928
00:46:33,760 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 4: this stuff, that he wants this to change for the better,

929
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,480
Speaker 4: and I do agree with you. I think some of

930
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 4: these matchups would benefit a great deal from it. Now

931
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 4: what we see some more lopsided outcomes potentially than we

932
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,880
Speaker 4: already are. Yeah, that may happen too, especially if they

933
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 4: do decide to expand the postseason. But will it make

934
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 4: for more exciting, magical moments with fully enthralled fan bases,

935
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 4: you know.

936
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 3: Showing up? Yeah? So I agree with Dan Landing here.

937
00:47:03,960 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 4: I think that these these playoff games should be played

938
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,359
Speaker 4: in more home stadiums.

939
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 2: There's zero doubt about it.

940
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 5: I mean, the only issue is, then what do you

941
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 5: do with these prestigious ballgames? And that is the thing

942
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 5: that's going to prevent this from happening. And there's a

943
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 5: lot of really smart ideas that we could implement in

944
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:26,880
Speaker 5: college football, changing the transfer porter rules, changing all the

945
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 5: calendar and all that stuff. I just don't know why

946
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,479
Speaker 5: they don't want to rip this thing up and start

947
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 5: from scratch. I mean that that's what it would be,

948
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,440
Speaker 5: because then you've got the Orange Bowl and the Cotton

949
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,080
Speaker 5: Bowl and the Sugar Bowl and the Rose Bowl, and

950
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 5: you don't have premier teams to play in those games,

951
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:47,200
Speaker 5: and those bowl game people like there's all these you know,

952
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 5: these groups of people that run the bowl games, they

953
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 5: would riot, and I don't know what the reaction would be.

954
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 5: Now does that mean that they're right. No, doesn't mean

955
00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,879
Speaker 5: they're right. But there's a lot of money involved here,

956
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,080
Speaker 5: and money moves the needle. So well, I don't know

957
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:04,440
Speaker 5: what the answer would be to give those bowl games

958
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 5: something else that would move the needle.

959
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 2: But when you take those teams off the.

960
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 5: Table, now, maybe maybe we just call it the Rose

961
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 5: Bowl and just play it at Indiana Stadium. Like, I

962
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 5: don't know what the answer is, but like like those

963
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 5: bowl game administrators, Brian would riot.

964
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:29,280
Speaker 2: If we ripped those games basically out root from stud

965
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 2: You're right, and I'm like let them, you know, screw

966
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 2: the bull games, Like it's not helping college football. Like

967
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 2: do you let them tell you what's what? Or do

968
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 2: you tell them what's what?

969
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 3: Right?

970
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:44,520
Speaker 2: Like college football should be like all right, we're playing

971
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 2: these games at home stadiums. It's better for the college football,

972
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 2: it's better for the TV products, better all the way around.

973
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,320
Speaker 2: Like why are we going to the Fiesta Bowl to

974
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 2: play a neutral site game when we could play in

975
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 2: a like a frenzied atmosphere. It just doesn't make any

976
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 2: sense to me, Like, what's better? Is it the Cotton

977
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 2: Bowl at a neutral site or is it at the

978
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: Shoe at Ohio State. I'd much rather see home games here,

979
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 2: So at least we're on the same page on that.

980
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 2: We'll remember that when Bama, when that discussion rolls around here.

981
00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 2: We can't agree at times. But you do get Oregon

982
00:49:17,320 --> 00:49:20,000
Speaker 2: Texas Tech. It is at the Orange Bowl in Miami.

983
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 2: This will be on Thursday, January first, And what a matchup, man.

984
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 2: You look at just trench warfare over here. Man, Oregon

985
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 2: when they have the ball, their offensive line is really good,

986
00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 2: their running game is outstanding. Texas Tech arguably has the

987
00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:39,240
Speaker 2: best run defense in the entire country. Their defensive line

988
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:43,600
Speaker 2: is awesome. They're front seven really really good. And on

989
00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 2: the other side of the ball, when you look at

990
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 2: what Texas Tech does with that gap running scheme, the

991
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,760
Speaker 2: former offensive lineman could break that down if he so chooses.

992
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 2: But Oregon's really good when they're facing gap running schemes.

993
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 2: So who's going to be able to run the ball

994
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 2: more effectively is a big deal. Dante More is on

995
00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 2: fire right now. Can't wait for this matchup. It is

996
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 2: an outstanding matchup in the Orange Bowl between Oregon and

997
00:50:08,040 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 2: Texas Tech.

998
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:12,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love this matchup. Obviously, It's the.

999
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:16,200
Speaker 4: Closest to a pick them of any matchup we're going

1000
00:50:16,280 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 4: to have potentially this entire playoff season, which is incredible

1001
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,280
Speaker 4: that you even get one like this, super evenly matched

1002
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,879
Speaker 4: and to your point, Yeah, I do think that we're

1003
00:50:28,880 --> 00:50:32,759
Speaker 4: going to really spotlight when Oregon's defense is on the

1004
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:37,479
Speaker 4: field against this Texas Tech offense and specifically the run game.

1005
00:50:38,120 --> 00:50:41,440
Speaker 4: I think the offense analytically for Texas Tech is the

1006
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:45,360
Speaker 4: weakest unit on the field between Oregon's offense and defense

1007
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 4: and Texas Tech's offense and defense. You know, their success

1008
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 4: rate is well below that of their defenses, and of

1009
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,120
Speaker 4: course Oregon and Oregon's offense and defense. But that gap

1010
00:50:58,160 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 4: scheme that they run, they're effective with it.

1011
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:00,440
Speaker 3: You know.

1012
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 4: What it amounts to is a lot of double teams

1013
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 4: at the point of attack and a lot of opportunities

1014
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:12,680
Speaker 4: to get these hard down blocks to the play side

1015
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 4: against opponents.

1016
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 3: And when you can.

1017
00:51:15,600 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 4: Do that effectively, you can really move defensive lineman and

1018
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 4: get off the ball and get to the second level

1019
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 4: and get those linebackers covered up. Really quick and create

1020
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 4: some lanes for your running backs. Here's the problem. If

1021
00:51:28,080 --> 00:51:31,920
Speaker 4: you're not effective, or if you're playing against a team

1022
00:51:32,280 --> 00:51:35,439
Speaker 4: that does a really good job of splitting doubles where

1023
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 4: they can anchor down and resist being moved away from

1024
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:43,880
Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage, it gets really contracted and compacted

1025
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 4: in the inside running game real fast, and so then

1026
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 4: it's easier for your safety safeties to come down and

1027
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 4: read run and make tackles either closer to the line

1028
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 4: of scrimmage or in the backfield potentially. And then obviously

1029
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 4: those second level players, those those linebackers, if your defensive

1030
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 4: line and Oregon's got a really talented group up front,

1031
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,440
Speaker 4: if they can anchor down against those doubles, you let

1032
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:09,320
Speaker 4: them roam free.

1033
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 3: It creates a lot of traffic inside.

1034
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 4: So that is going to be what we are going

1035
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 4: to you know, from an analytical perspective, really watch is

1036
00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 4: can Texas Tech run the football against Oregon's defense, And

1037
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 4: if they can't, this game could get real.

1038
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 3: Tough for the Raiders.

1039
00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 4: I'm really really excited for this game though, because, you know,

1040
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,400
Speaker 4: for a multitude of reasons, but this is the best

1041
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:35,560
Speaker 4: matchup we have on the.

1042
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,040
Speaker 2: Dockets so far war in the trenches.

1043
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 5: This will be the most physical game of the entire

1044
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 5: college football season.

1045
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,839
Speaker 2: Perhaps it really might. I do like the Texas Tech

1046
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:46,319
Speaker 2: run game.

1047
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 5: Dickie More of the bruiser stocky five ten, two fifteen,

1048
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 5: and then Williams is the burner on the outside five ten,

1049
00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 5: one eighty five. They use them in various ways if

1050
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,399
Speaker 5: they can get around the corner. And this is where

1051
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 5: the Organ linebackers are going to be huge, right that

1052
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:04,200
Speaker 5: gap scheme, try to get around the edge. They like

1053
00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 5: to pull their offensive lineman a lot betcher and mix,

1054
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 5: and the two Organ linebackers are going to be key here.

1055
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:10,760
Speaker 5: You've got to be able to go sideline a sideline,

1056
00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 5: especially Williams. If he gets around the edge on you,

1057
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,040
Speaker 5: he will take it the distance.

1058
00:53:14,360 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 2: I don't fully trust Baron Morton.

1059
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 5: Right. If you ask me who the better quarterback is

1060
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:19,880
Speaker 5: in this game, very easy answer for me. It's obviously

1061
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:22,080
Speaker 5: Dante More might be the best quarterback, might be number

1062
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 5: one in the NFL draft. You never know, depending on

1063
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 5: how he plays over the next a few weeks. But Morton,

1064
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:29,879
Speaker 5: to me, when he's in a clean pocket, twenty big

1065
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 5: time throws. That's top ten in the country. When he's

1066
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,720
Speaker 5: not in a clean pocket. When the picture gets muddy,

1067
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 5: he drops outside the top one hundred and zero big

1068
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 5: time throws to five turnover where he plays.

1069
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 2: So you need to keep Morton clean and.

1070
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 5: It'll be the offensive line for Texas Tech trying to

1071
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 5: do a good job of that. I really like to

1072
00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 5: tackle Samson and Potting against these Oregon defensive ends to.

1073
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:51,000
Speaker 2: Odi and uey Ungilala.

1074
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 5: That is going to be a big matchup. Morton's not

1075
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 5: a great improviser. He needs to be on time and

1076
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,880
Speaker 5: he needs to be clean, kept clean in order for

1077
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 5: him to get the ball out quick. The other side

1078
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,440
Speaker 5: of the ball is really strength on strength. The Oregon

1079
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 5: run game best in the country against that Texas Tech

1080
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 5: front four, which make no mistake about it, this is

1081
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:13,080
Speaker 5: the nastiest front four in college football. Bailey Height Hunter

1082
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,720
Speaker 5: Holmes like these guys are absolute beast. They don't need

1083
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,360
Speaker 5: to bring extra bodies into the box to get pressure

1084
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 5: on you with their front. One hundred and thirty five

1085
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,359
Speaker 5: pressures twenty two sacks combined for Bailey in height off

1086
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 5: the edge this year. The one game that Oregon lost

1087
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 5: this year against Indiana, Indiana got really good pressure off

1088
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,240
Speaker 5: the edge. They made Dante more very uncomfortable in the pocket,

1089
00:54:36,560 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 5: and that is the recipe for Texas Tech.

1090
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:41,880
Speaker 2: In the run game for Oregon.

1091
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 5: This is where I think things are gonna get real nasty.

1092
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 5: Noah Whittington, Jordan Davis, and Dierre Hill all three guys

1093
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 5: the backs for Oregon. They all bring something a little

1094
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 5: bit different to the table, but Texas Tech is elite

1095
00:54:54,760 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 5: in the run fits. Jacob Rodriguez might be the best

1096
00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 5: overall player in college football. Lot of diehards wanted him

1097
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 5: to be on the Heisman podium. You can make the

1098
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 5: argument about whether or not a linebacker is a Heisman guy.

1099
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 5: But Oregon is the number one gap team in the country.

1100
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 5: Their left guard, Emmanuel Pregnant is a freak and Sadiq

1101
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,320
Speaker 5: the tight end like these guys will move, they will pull,

1102
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 5: they will get to the edge. They are nasty run

1103
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 5: blocking and I cannot wait to watch Texas Tech try

1104
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 5: to stop the organ run game. That is going to

1105
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,760
Speaker 5: be the best strength on strength matchup of this quarterfinal round.

1106
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:33,279
Speaker 5: And I give a slight edge to Texas Tech just

1107
00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 5: because of talent, but man, Oregon is so smooth and

1108
00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 5: they're very good at getting into and out of place

1109
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,399
Speaker 5: because Dante more is kind of unflappable. He is one

1110
00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 5: of the most poised quarterbacks I've seen at his age level,

1111
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 5: considering he doesn't have a ton of experience, but he

1112
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,919
Speaker 5: has handled all of the pressure just incredibly well this year.

1113
00:55:52,520 --> 00:55:54,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny too, because last thing I'll say is,

1114
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,920
Speaker 2: I think Oregon they still don't get full credit for

1115
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 2: being as physical as they are. I don't know, it's

1116
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 2: just one of those things where they're commonly thought of

1117
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,320
Speaker 2: as like the Chip Kelly era and they're running a

1118
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:09,399
Speaker 2: bunch of bubble screens and they'll knock you around. Man,

1119
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 2: They'll knock you. They've knocked you around for years. You know,

1120
00:56:12,719 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 2: very physical team. Go look at Kenyan Sadik to tight

1121
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 2: end and tell me that's not a physical team. That

1122
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 2: is a physical specimen right there. Like, So, I don't know,

1123
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 2: I just think Oregon. There are certain teams where if

1124
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: you say Ohio, oh, Ohio State man physical, like Alabama,

1125
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 2: oh physical right like, and then you get to Oregon

1126
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 2: and it's like, yeah, they're kind of finessa. No, they're

1127
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 2: physical too, man, they just don't get the props that

1128
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 2: they deserve for that. All right, We've got Rich Orenberger.

1129
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 2: He knows physicality form a Penn State all American. Jared Smith,

Speaker 2: too well, maybe we'll sprinkle. Look, maybe we'll have an

1141
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 2: NFL shamous special. Is that possible? It's pretty mainstreams. We'll

Speaker 2: Yes, we are welcoming in our good friend Seamus McGee,

1155
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 2: team lead of sports Trading at bet MGM. Good morning

1156
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 2: to you, Seamus. Okay, so we got ball galore. It

1157
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:12,840
Speaker 2: is a ball buffet college football games, NFL games? Is

1158
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 2: there in either is there a great need for BETMGM

1159
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 2: a great need or two in terms of what would

1160
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 2: be the best outcome for the book.

1161
00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:26,120
Speaker 7: Hey guys, great to be back. We're gonna start bright

1162
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 7: and early with this PIT ECU game kicking off shortly.

1163
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:35,560
Speaker 7: We took a couple pretty large wagers on PIT minus

1164
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:37,880
Speaker 7: ten and a half before the move, so we're gonna

1165
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 7: need ECU to cover ten if lines moved a little

1166
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 7: bit here. But ECU plus ten and a half is

1167
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 7: really gonna really get us going today at the foot

1168
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 7: or the punters are going to have a really good

1169
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 7: start to their day with as you said, a ton

1170
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 7: of football today.

1171
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'm on the under and I bet the

1172
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 5: first half and first quarter under in that game. For

1173
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,640
Speaker 5: anyone who wants some early action, the game starts in

1174
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 5: about the minutes.

1175
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 2: You got to listen. If you're betting college football, you

1176
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 2: got a bet on the Military Bowl. I mean, that's

1177
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 2: like basically a rule.

1178
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 5: The other ball games today. Like again, we're kind of

1179
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 5: in that no man's land right now. No college wall

1180
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 5: playoff games for a few days. So the next I

1181
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,400
Speaker 5: think there's eight of the twenty non CFP games will

1182
00:59:17,400 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 5: be going off today. Has it been a difficult ball

1183
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 5: season for you guys in terms of the opt outs

1184
00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:24,400
Speaker 5: and all the movement. I feel like by now, we've

1185
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 5: been in this process for a few years, Seamus, you're

1186
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 5: probably used to just the frenziness of this time period.

1187
00:59:31,680 --> 00:59:35,040
Speaker 7: It's the same story every year. I mean, we were

1188
00:59:35,080 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 7: aware of what's going on, especially with the portal now

1189
00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 7: and people opting out for the drafts. So try to

1190
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 7: be a little more diligent. Got back someone that's the

1191
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:48,480
Speaker 7: closer we get to kick off. But I mean it's

1192
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 7: been okay results wise for us. A couple CFT results

1193
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 7: in our way that Miami game last week. We got

1194
00:59:55,240 --> 01:00:00,160
Speaker 7: crushed pre match on Miami outright, but in play we

1195
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 7: took a lot of ad that money line and it

1196
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 7: really kind of saved the day for us.

1197
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 4: Wow, you got NFL kicking off on Saturdays as well.

1198
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 4: Your really good matchup between the Texans and Chargers, both

1199
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 4: teams with big aspirations. Texas may be the hottest team

1200
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 4: in football right now and then Ravens Packers a little

1201
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 4: bit of a dud. But there's been a little bit

1202
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 4: of movement with this line. Which game specifically, I mean

1203
01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 4: from a betting standpoint, not from a viewership standpoint, is

1204
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 4: more interesting to you today A.

1205
01:00:35,200 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 7: Lot of you the Texas Chargers with all the you know,

1206
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 7: the playoff implications, the one Seeds still up for grabs

1207
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 7: and definitely getting the most handled that we're seeing today.

1208
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 7: So definitely Houston versus that way in that one not

1209
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 7: really in need. Money's going both ways on that one

1210
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 7: as well. So looking like a decent book for BETHAMGM

1211
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 7: right now.

1212
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 2: How about if we look forward to Wednesday and Thursday,

1213
01:00:56,600 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 2: the college football playoff matchups. You look at Oregon Texas

1214
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 2: Tech is the shortest line everything else right around a

1215
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 2: touchdown Ohio State favored by nine and a half. Any

1216
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:10,600
Speaker 2: leans for you, any anything that you like in terms

1217
01:01:10,640 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 2: of a side in any like of those eight teams,

1218
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 2: which team do you like the most with the points

1219
01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 2: spread in mind, I've.

1220
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 7: Been high on Texas Tech all year, so that's probably

1221
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 7: my strongest lean that I have personally this Indiana and

1222
01:01:25,720 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 7: Outbami and I am right at the number. If I

1223
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 7: had to pick a side there, I think I'd lean

1224
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 7: towards Indiana. But I think Miami can hang around with

1225
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 7: this defense with Ohio State. Maybe Miami first half is

1226
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 7: a better play than a full game, you know. Maybe

1227
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 7: Ohio State, you know, kind of opens it up in

1228
01:01:43,360 --> 01:01:47,439
Speaker 7: the second half. But it's hard to fade the buck

1229
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 7: guys after where we saw in the playoffs last year,

1230
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 7: Like this team just shits a different gear once they

1231
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 7: hit the tallest football playoffs.

1232
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll be honest.

1233
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 5: I think of all the four games, I think Tech

1234
01:01:58,240 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 5: is a dog. Is the one I'm looking at the most.

1235
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 5: I think they're like I think it goes back to

1236
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 5: what I watched with Indiana. Oregon had a lot of

1237
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:11,640
Speaker 5: problems against Indiana's defensive line and listen, Seamus, I know

1238
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 5: Indiana is great, but I think Texas Tech's defensive line

1239
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 5: is better than Indiana's. And if they gave Oregon so

1240
01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 5: many problems in Eugene, what are they going to do

1241
01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,480
Speaker 5: in a game on a neutral site where you don't

1242
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 5: think they're going to have any issues with the snapcount

1243
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 5: getting off the ball?

1244
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 7: And then I mean last week, you know, the game

1245
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:32,280
Speaker 7: really went off the rail for Jami at the end

1246
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:35,280
Speaker 7: of the second quarter, but this was a six point

1247
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 7: game JMU at first in goal, they are moving the

1248
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 7: ball like pretty decently. On this defense. I've been high

1249
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 7: on Texas Tech all year. I think this defense is

1250
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 7: very legit that I think this is an SEC caliber defense.

1251
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:52,120
Speaker 7: So I really like Texas Tech in this matchup.

1252
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 4: Out of curiosity, one of the bigger dogs. I guess

1253
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 4: they're the third biggest dog on the board, So I mean,

1254
01:02:59,480 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 4: that's not it's not unreasonable. But Ole Miss, they are

1255
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 4: there dog six and a half against Georgia. How how

1256
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,560
Speaker 4: different would that point spread look if Lane Kiffin was

1257
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 4: at the.

1258
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:14,480
Speaker 3: Helm M.

1259
01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 7: I'd say max a point and a half two points.

1260
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 7: If Skiffin was coaching this game, I would definitely be

1261
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 7: all over all Miss. I do like Golding. I think

1262
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 7: he's going to be a good coach for Ole Miss,

1263
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,360
Speaker 7: But I am a little hesitant with you know, all

1264
01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 7: the turnover going on. But this was a great game

1265
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 7: in Athens that we had it. Almoss was leading for

1266
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 7: a lot of that game too, so I could see

1267
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 7: them covering this game. Know I was shot to it

1268
01:03:43,560 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 7: out right, but I think I feel a little more

1269
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 7: comfortable if Lane was on the sideline.

1270
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:51,440
Speaker 2: Okay, time for the Seamus Special. I did mention a

1271
01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:54,439
Speaker 2: couple of minutes ago we got two NFL games. Could

1272
01:03:54,440 --> 01:04:00,000
Speaker 2: Seamus go from like backwoods football games to the NFL

1273
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 2: like a mainstream as it? Where are you taking us

1274
01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 2: for the shame as special today, Buddy?

1275
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 7: An NFL game? I mean, come on, how long I'm

1276
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:08,600
Speaker 7: making coming on this show?

1277
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:11,800
Speaker 3: I hear you.

1278
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,440
Speaker 7: But you know there is a there's a ton of

1279
01:04:15,480 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 7: sports on today. Is all Premier League's on right now?

1280
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:20,440
Speaker 7: We've got the World Juniors up in Minnesota right now.

1281
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,000
Speaker 7: But I am going to go to the Pop Tart Bowl.

1282
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 4: Uh you know.

1283
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 7: I uh my granddad born and raised in Atlanta. I

1284
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:31,480
Speaker 7: love Georgia Tech. With that, I think both teams it's

1285
01:04:31,480 --> 01:04:33,040
Speaker 7: gonna be a good game. I think both teams I

1286
01:04:33,040 --> 01:04:35,160
Speaker 7: feel like have a little meat left on the bone

1287
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 7: from each of their seasons this year. But I like

1288
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:40,240
Speaker 7: Georgia Tech. I think Haines king playing is a big deal.

1289
01:04:40,800 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 7: And I think I've said it before it to a

1290
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 7: couple of buddies that I just I go broke dating

1291
01:04:46,560 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 7: b Yu, so might as well continue at tend the year?

1292
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1293
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:51,880
Speaker 2: Why not camp it off in style?

1294
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 3: All right?

1295
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 2: Before you go? Bonus question?

1296
01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 3: So Rich?

1297
01:04:54,920 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 2: He goes s'mores pop tarts. Jared. He hasn't had a

1298
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 2: pop tart in a very long time. Health conscientious guy,

1299
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 2: but he said, you know, brown sugar. If I have

1300
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 2: to go on the way back machine, right, I go

1301
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 2: cherry pop tarts. What do you go with? Seamus? We

1302
01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 2: all have to know.

1303
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 7: Frosted strawberry A class that grew up on those Britton

1304
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:17,040
Speaker 7: butter It's just an easy one for me there. I

1305
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 7: don't try to go crazy with some other flavors. Just

1306
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 7: frosted strawberry for me.

1307
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 2: There, you go, very nice, totally respectable right there? All right, Seamus,

1308
01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 2: good stuff as always, Bud. Hope you have a good day.

1309
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 2: We'll catch you soon.

1310
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 7: Enjoy the games, guys, I'll be Alladay's.

1311
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:31,560
Speaker 2: Same to you.

1312
01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:31,760
Speaker 3: There.

1313
01:05:31,840 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 2: He is Seamus McGee, team lead of sports Trading at

1314
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 2: bet MGM. Good stuff is always with the Seamusmeister right there.

1315
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 2: All right, we go straight from that to the NFL.

1316
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 2: How about Texans at the Chargers today? They get the

1317
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,400
Speaker 2: double header started and the Chargers zero point and a

1318
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 2: half favorites here and Rich you talked about it, man,

1319
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:55,120
Speaker 2: this could be absolutely be a slug fest. Not a

1320
01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 2: ton of points going on here. Think about this. Both

1321
01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 2: defenses are top ten again, he's the rush, they're both

1322
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,320
Speaker 2: top ten against the pass. They're both top ten in

1323
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 2: scoring defense, right, so it's hard to run run it

1324
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,320
Speaker 2: on him, hard to pass it on them, hard to

1325
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 2: score on them. So yeah, I think points are gonna

1326
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:14,840
Speaker 2: be at a premium in this one. And I can't

1327
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 2: get over Justin Herbert where he's got a lot of

1328
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,920
Speaker 2: offensive line issues in terms of injuries. And you look

1329
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 2: at a relentless pass rush with the Texans with Will

1330
01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 2: Anderson junior daneil Hunter. So it could be tough sledding

1331
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 2: for the Chargers offense in this one today.

1332
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's no doubt. Yeah.

1333
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 4: I mentioned some of this during the parlay platter. I

1334
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:38,919
Speaker 4: took the under thirty nine and a half in this game,

1335
01:06:38,960 --> 01:06:40,800
Speaker 4: and I really do think it's going to be a

1336
01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:45,960
Speaker 4: slug fest. Houston obviously one of the league's top defenses.

1337
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:49,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna rewind the clock all the way back to

1338
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 4: the beginning of this year. Now, I understand twenty twenty

1339
01:06:52,960 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 4: five is about to come to a close. But in

1340
01:06:54,720 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 4: the postseason, Justin Herbert he threw four picks against this

1341
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 4: Houston defense. Okay, that's one more pick than he threw

1342
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 4: all season long. He threw four against the Houston Texans defense.

1343
01:07:11,120 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 3: I mean that.

1344
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:16,360
Speaker 4: Look, I realize we're talking about a year's time. You know,

1345
01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 4: he's got a new girlfriend since then, He's played a

1346
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 4: lot of football since then. The Chargers are a completely

1347
01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 4: different team this time around than they were the last

1348
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,840
Speaker 4: time they faced the Houston Texans. But that's the same quarterback,

1349
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:33,000
Speaker 4: and that's the same defense by and large. You know,

1350
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 4: there have been some players changes, it changed, and but

1351
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 4: that's the same coordinator.

1352
01:07:38,400 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 3: This is going to be a tough game for Justin Herbert.

1353
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:47,040
Speaker 4: Now, Jim Harbaugh, smart coach, offensive minded coach, really good

1354
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 4: with quarterbacks.

1355
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 3: He's going to limit the damage that Justin can do.

1356
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:52,160
Speaker 3: To himself.

1357
01:07:52,520 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 4: But I'm telling you this is gonna be a game

1358
01:07:54,400 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 4: where points and yards are going to becoming sparingly.

1359
01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,600
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a field position game. I think this.

1360
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 4: I think this game is gonna come down to turnovers

1361
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,880
Speaker 4: and special teams moments. If you have a huge return,

1362
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 4: you know, some one of these teams gets out to

1363
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 4: midfield and they shortened the field, the difference of this

1364
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 4: game will be three points.

1365
01:08:17,160 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 3: You know. It's not gonna be one of those games

1366
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:19,759
Speaker 3: where we go, oh wow.

1367
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 4: You know that Texans ended up blowing them out, you know,

1368
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 4: by twelve points in the victory over No, no, no, it's

1369
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:29,200
Speaker 4: gonna be a field goal. It's gonna be you know,

1370
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 4: a two point conversion somewhere. It's gonna be a game

1371
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 4: of inches and and and micro mill meters. It's going

1372
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 4: to be a ridiculous thin margin today between these two teams.

1373
01:08:41,640 --> 01:08:43,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, Texans are coming off that win over the Raiders

1374
01:08:43,800 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 5: where you're like, wait a minute, that game was kind

1375
01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 5: of close.

1376
01:08:46,400 --> 01:08:46,760
Speaker 2: It was.

1377
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,679
Speaker 5: It was a two touchdown spread, and the Raiders actually

1378
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,679
Speaker 5: won the box score pretty handily, like they were plus

1379
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 5: one and a half net yards per play, But the

1380
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,800
Speaker 5: big turnover was the pick six, and that kind of

1381
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 5: put Vegas behind the eight ball and they just couldn't

1382
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 5: recover from it. But again, they kind of outplayed Houston

1383
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,080
Speaker 5: down to down in that game. Now you could say

1384
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 5: that the Texans were looking ahead to this game. This

1385
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 5: game's massive. The Chargers are coming off a blowout loss

1386
01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 5: over the Cowboys where they were inexplictably an underdog in

1387
01:09:13,720 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 5: that game. But this is not the Cowboys defense they're

1388
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,400
Speaker 5: facing today. Like they gained over seven yards per play

1389
01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 5: against Dallas. They were just you know, Herbert was just

1390
01:09:22,160 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 5: kind of chilling back there in the pocket. Quintin Johnston,

01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 5: the kid from Ole Miss, the Harris kid, was making.

1392
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 2: A bunch of plays down the field.

1393
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,000
Speaker 5: Lad McConkie was doing his thing in the intermediate game,

1394
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 5: like the Chargers were kind of doing whatever they want.

1395
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 5: Now you face the Texans defense that I think if

1396
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:41,080
Speaker 5: there was one defense that could get the most create

1397
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:44,799
Speaker 5: the most havoc from the fact that the Chargers offensive

1398
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 5: line is a complete and utter train wreck, I think

1399
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 5: it might be this Texans defense. It might be the

1400
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:51,320
Speaker 5: one defense that the Chargers don't want to play, and

1401
01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 5: it's the one that they have to play now. The

1402
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 5: irony is if they can somehow win this game and

1403
01:09:57,439 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 5: it sets up the massive game week against the Broncos. Yeah,

1404
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 5: it would be an AFC West Championship game, which would

1405
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 5: be awesome. And here's even the better rub. If we

1406
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 5: could somehow get New England to clinch the one seed

1407
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:15,960
Speaker 5: and the Chargers to clinch the two, and if the

1408
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 5: Colts can figure out away somehow, by the grace of God,

1409
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:25,360
Speaker 5: to get into the playoffs. There is an outside chance,

1410
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 5: a small chance, but an outside chance. It could be

1411
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 5: Chargers two seed, Colts seven seed, first round Philip Rivers

1412
01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 5: playing the Chargers in the postseason. That would be an

1413
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 5: epic script. I don't know if it's gonna happen, probably not,

1414
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:42,120
Speaker 5: but it would be an epic script.

1415
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:46,679
Speaker 2: That would be fun. Very outside, very unlikely, but it could.

1416
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 2: Is a chance, chance to tell me, there's a chance. Yeah,

1417
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:53,880
Speaker 2: a big game, like you're talking about, Jared for the Chargers.

1418
01:10:53,880 --> 01:10:55,920
Speaker 2: I think it's a bigger game for them, just seeding

1419
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:59,280
Speaker 2: purposes wise, right, Like you have a chance to move

1420
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 2: up to the two, you have an outside chance to

1421
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:03,679
Speaker 2: move up to the one. Like what a huge game

1422
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 2: that would be If it's Week eighteen, Chargers at the

1423
01:11:08,360 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 2: Broncos for the division, probably for the one seed or

1424
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:14,560
Speaker 2: at least one seed implications. I don't know how it

1425
01:11:14,560 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 2: would shake out exactly what the Patriots involved there, but man,

1426
01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,960
Speaker 2: that's enormous stuff. So I'll tell you what. The Broncos

1427
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:25,320
Speaker 2: will be at home watching this one saying, go Texans, right.

1428
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 2: They want the Chargers out of this thing. So big

1429
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:31,240
Speaker 2: playoff implications in this one. It should be a lot

1430
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 2: of fun. And like you're talking about Rich, you look

1431
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 2: at Herbert twelve interceptions this season. That's a lot for him.

1432
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 2: You know, he's protected the ball pretty consistently throughout his career,

1433
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 2: and so to have twelve interceptions, and again the matchup, man,

1434
01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 2: like you might see this and prop it up. We're

1435
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:54,959
Speaker 2: a little interception prop here where the Texans are interception savvy,

1436
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:57,560
Speaker 2: you know, and you got an offensive line it's a

1437
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 2: little leaky. It just lends itself to that where the

1438
01:12:00,840 --> 01:12:03,320
Speaker 2: pass rush starts to get home and you gotta get

1439
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:04,680
Speaker 2: rid of it, and you get rid of it in

1440
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 2: the wrong spot. Could absolutely see that happening. But both

1441
01:12:08,280 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 2: teams are hot. Chargers of one four straight. Texans have

1442
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:15,639
Speaker 2: won seven straight. Pretty quietly, I would say but yeah,

1443
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:18,320
Speaker 2: there's a little funny taste in your mouth after barely

1444
01:12:18,360 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 2: beating the Raiders. We'll see what they can do on

1445
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 2: the road today against the Chargers. One last thing. I'm sorry,

1446
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:27,519
Speaker 2: very very excited about it, but you're starting to see

1447
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 2: this is the time that the quarterbacks that can move around,

1448
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 2: they take the training wheels off. You start to see

1449
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 2: them run a lot more, use their legs, pick up yardage,

1450
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 2: sometimes chunks of yardage. So keep your eye on Stroud

1451
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 2: and Herbert today running a little bit more. Especially Stroud.

1452
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 2: His rushing yards prop is at ten and a half.

1453
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:50,439
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't see Stroud getting over that. With

1454
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 2: the Chargers their defense, you know, the decent pass rush,

1455
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:57,679
Speaker 2: not a great Texans offensive line. I could absolutely see

1456
01:12:57,680 --> 01:12:59,040
Speaker 2: Stroud going over that today.

1457
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 4: It is so crazy you said that, because I mean

1458
01:13:02,200 --> 01:13:04,760
Speaker 4: that what a tease for prop it up. We might

1459
01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 4: be taking opposite quarterbacks on that game because I do

1460
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,320
Speaker 4: think that the rushing prop is in play. You're gonna

1461
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,840
Speaker 4: have two defenses who are going to be hard after

1462
01:13:15,920 --> 01:13:16,840
Speaker 4: these quarterbacks.

1463
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:20,719
Speaker 2: You're gonna have opportunities to run.

1464
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,680
Speaker 4: So you know, both of these teams have had production

1465
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 4: against opposing quarterbacks using three and four man rushes, which

1466
01:13:29,720 --> 01:13:32,600
Speaker 4: you know for a pocket passer that that can be

1467
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 4: a little rough, because right you can send seven or

1468
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,040
Speaker 4: eight back in coverage when you have only three or

1469
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:38,759
Speaker 4: four rushing.

1470
01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 3: But against a mobile quarterback like Stroud, like like.

1471
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,080
Speaker 4: Herbert, and I would say Herbert's more mobile than Stroud,

1472
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 4: but you're going to have opportunities for them to get

1473
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 4: out of the pocket, extend the play or take off

1474
01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,920
Speaker 4: and run the football for key first downs, especially on

1475
01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 4: third down opportunities where it's third and medium, stuff like that.

1476
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 4: So I do think the rushing prop is in play

1477
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,960
Speaker 4: for both of these qbs. I think it's a great game.

1478
01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 4: I think it's a great matchup. I think you said

1479
01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:08,120
Speaker 4: it right. The Texans are really kind.

1480
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,679
Speaker 3: Of low key. One of the hottest teams in football.

1481
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 4: The AFC South does not get publicized very well outside

1482
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 4: of Philip Rivers coming out of retirement after five years

1483
01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 4: playing at forty four years of age. But I mean,

1484
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,519
Speaker 4: think about the other two teams in that division besides

1485
01:14:22,560 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 4: the Colts, I mean the Jacksonville Jaguars, one of the

1486
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:27,040
Speaker 4: hottest teams in football.

1487
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:28,559
Speaker 3: Texans won of the.

1488
01:14:28,479 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 4: Hottest and they're sneaking up on people. Still, if they

1489
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:35,799
Speaker 4: beat the Chargers, people will start talking about the Texans

1490
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:38,439
Speaker 4: and their playoff hopes. But in terms of right now,

1491
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 4: the Chargers need this win like blood. So I mean,

1492
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 4: if I had to choose the side, I guess I

1493
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 4: would lean Chargers.

1494
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 3: But I'm really all over the point total in this game.

1495
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:49,320
Speaker 3: I think thunders in play.

1496
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:53,679
Speaker 2: No good stuff absolutely. That's rich Onberger, Penn State All American,

1527
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 2: hovering around five hundred but trying to make progress. The

1528
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:33,320

1530

Speaker 2: coming going there down the stretch in that one. All right,

1531
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 2: enough jibber jabbering, it is time for prop bets.

1532
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:49,120
Speaker 3: Let's do this prop it up player plays?

1533
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 2: All right, Jared, we start with you. What is a

1534
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 2: prop that you are hot and heavy on today?

1535
01:16:55,120 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 4: Sir?

1536
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 5: Well, let's go to the Gator Bowl tonight, and how

1537
01:16:58,320 --> 01:17:01,280
Speaker 5: do we take advantage of the How do we take.

1538
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:02,520
Speaker 2: Advantage of the uncertainty?

1539
01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:03,400
Speaker 3: Well, there's two.

1540
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 2: Sides of the market.

1541
01:17:04,160 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 3: You can bet.

1542
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:06,800
Speaker 2: You can bet the over or you can bet the under.

1543
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:09,200
Speaker 5: What side do you think we're gonna lean on here

1544
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 5: when we're talking about opt out today?

1545
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:12,000
Speaker 3: It's the under?

1546
01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 5: Jamari Taylor for jinior running back. His prop number is

1547
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 5: set at seventy seven and a half rushing yards at

1548
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:18,960
Speaker 5: bet MGM.

1549
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 3: Taylor is going.

1550
01:17:20,280 --> 01:17:23,000
Speaker 5: To the Senior Bowl. His NFL journey is about to start.

1551
01:17:23,240 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 5: This game is a glorified scrimmage for him. We heard

1552
01:17:26,400 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 5: Tony Elliott quote deliberating about whether or not he's going

1553
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 5: to play. Here are the two scenarios I see. One

1554
01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 5: he doesn't play, and you'll get your money back from

1555
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 5: making this wager. He just sits out the game and

1556
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:40,000
Speaker 5: doesn't even appear. Or two he does what I think

1557
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:43,280
Speaker 5: a lot of some of these key players might be doing. Also,

1558
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 5: Ka Tron Allen's on this list for Penn State today.

1559
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 5: Some of them get paid just for suiting up and

1560
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:50,960
Speaker 5: playing in the game. Doesn't really matter how much they play,

1561
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 5: as long as they appear in the game, and then

1562
01:17:52,760 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 5: they go to the bench because they don't want to

1563
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 5: get hurt because they're about to go to the Senior

1564
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:57,640
Speaker 5: Bowl and go to the NFL. So if that's the

1565
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,360
Speaker 5: scenario today, well then Jamari Taylor under seven he's even

1566
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:01,760
Speaker 5: and a half rush yards, I mean, goodness, great.

1567
01:18:01,800 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 2: For first of all, Missouri's defense.

1568
01:18:03,160 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 5: Is great, top thirty across the board in almost every metric,

1569
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 5: especially upfront, and I don't think Taylor is going to

1570
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,479
Speaker 5: be running as hard as he normally does. So if

1571
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:13,600
Speaker 5: you want to play the opt out angle with the

1572
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 5: bowl games, look to the under. And that's where we're

1573
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:18,760
Speaker 5: going with Jamari Taylor today, under seventies, even and a

1574
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:19,639
Speaker 5: half rush yards.

1575
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:23,799
Speaker 3: All right, very good? Okay, I think Brian No gave us.

1576
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 4: A clue as to where he's going with his prop bets,

1577
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 4: So I'm going to try to do the opposite, but

1578
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 4: stay in the same game. If you follow me here.

1579
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 4: We're just talking about Chargers Texans. We're talking about how

1580
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 4: both of these teams play significant defense. I mentioned that

1581
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 4: the Texans, for the first time in seventeen years, may

1582
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 4: may hold every single passer they face to two hundred

1583
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:51,559
Speaker 4: and fifty yards around here. Okay, that's insane. Also good

1584
01:18:51,600 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 4: defense against the run. So what does that mean? If

1585
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:56,479
Speaker 4: you want to establish a run game, you gotta get creative.

1586
01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,080
Speaker 4: I think there's gonna be broken plays. I think Justin

1587
01:18:59,120 --> 01:19:01,679
Speaker 4: Herbert's gonna happen to run with the football in his hands.

1588
01:19:02,040 --> 01:19:05,160
Speaker 4: He averages over thirty yards.

1589
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,679
Speaker 3: A game ish in terms of his rush yard.

1590
01:19:08,200 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 4: The prop right now is set at twenty three and

1591
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 4: a half.

1592
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 3: I'm taking the over.

1593
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,160
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna have to get creative in the pocket.

1594
01:19:15,400 --> 01:19:17,599
Speaker 4: I think he's gonna run for some key first downs

1595
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,400
Speaker 4: in this game. So give me Justin Herbert over his

1596
01:19:20,520 --> 01:19:22,320
Speaker 4: rushing total against the Texans.

1597
01:19:22,439 --> 01:19:23,040
Speaker 3: I like it.

1598
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:27,720
Speaker 2: Great minds thinking similarly, you know I'm gonna go with

1599
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert, and I hate that this sounds like a

1600
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:34,559
Speaker 2: knee jerk reaction for the playoff game last season where

1601
01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:38,000
Speaker 2: Herbert threw four interceptions. But it's not as much that

1602
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 2: it's really the formula. It's that the offensive line for

1603
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:45,360
Speaker 2: the Chargers is panged up. Both their starting tackles are out.

1604
01:19:45,680 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 2: You're going up against a ferocious pass rush in the Texans,

1605
01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 2: and you look at them being both teams. Interestingly enough,

1606
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:55,880
Speaker 2: if you look at the interception numbers for the season,

1607
01:19:56,439 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 2: both teams have exactly seventeen interceptions a piece, both defenses due.

1608
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 2: So you could look at Stroud as well, maybe throwing

1609
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,760
Speaker 2: a pick with a lacklusser offensive line. But I like

1610
01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:10,880
Speaker 2: Herbert night twelve interceptions this season. That's a lot for him.

1611
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 2: I think that the Texans pass rush is gonna get home.

1612
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 2: It's gonna pressure him, and you're looking for one bad decision,

1613
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 2: one quick throwaway, oops, wrong spot, one tipped ball, one

1614
01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:25,720
Speaker 2: goofy thing happening, and it's an interception. So I've got

1615
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:28,439
Speaker 2: Herbert throwing a pick. Technically, on the app it would

1616
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 2: be over point five in terms of the interceptions. So yeah,

1617
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:35,160
Speaker 2: I like Herbert's throw a pick from this That's what

1618
01:20:35,240 --> 01:20:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm going about.

1619
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:37,200
Speaker 3: I like it.

1620
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:39,679
Speaker 5: The other problem on today is the bear Bachmeyer passing

1621
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 5: yards over. I think Georgia Tech's actually gonna get off

1622
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:43,640
Speaker 5: to a good start, and I think Bakmeyer is going

1623
01:20:43,720 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 5: to be in a negative game script and no l J.

1624
01:20:47,200 --> 01:20:50,000
Speaker 2: Martin for the coop. Yeah today, all right, coming up next.

1625
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:52,280
Speaker 2: The last time these teams faced each other, one team

1626
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:55,719
Speaker 2: smacked the other team. Oh what is going on? Happy

1627
01:20:55,840 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 2: Saturday to you, Happy Holidays to you. I hope Christmas

1628
01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,599
Speaker 2: was great. You know, we'll rich you a happy New

1629
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 2: Year already. That's how festive we are. We're feeling the

1630
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 2: holiday spirit over here, and we're feeling the ball buffet

1631
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:11,559
Speaker 2: today all these college football bowl games. Yeah, a game

1632
01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,439
Speaker 2: kicking off already, we're still on the air. Yeah, normally

1633
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 2: it's an hour until kickoff right now, it's a negative

1634
01:21:17,560 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 2: two minutes to kick off. Now we're already. We're already

1635
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:25,200
Speaker 2: underway over here with the what do we have? What's

1636
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 2: this first quarter under? That's the play and the first

1637
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 2: half under? Oh you're on this game?

1638
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 3: Huh yeah?

1639
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 2: Oh, come on, listen.

1640
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:34,400
Speaker 5: How often do we get an opportunity to be on

1641
01:21:34,439 --> 01:21:35,439
Speaker 5: the air during a bowl game.

1642
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,479
Speaker 2: I've got to get some action down, come on. Yeah,

1643
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 2: he's hot and heavy on Pitt in East Carolina. Would

1644
01:21:41,360 --> 01:21:43,400
Speaker 2: you say the first quarter or the first quarter.

1645
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:46,240
Speaker 5: Under thirteen and a half, first half under twenty seven

1646
01:21:46,320 --> 01:21:49,599
Speaker 5: and a half. No starting quarterback for ECU today, howser

1647
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 5: is out. This pit defense actually pretty good and they're

1648
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:54,519
Speaker 5: coming off a blowout against Miami, so I think they're

1649
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 5: gonna be up for this game. And no Desmond Reid,

1650
01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:58,599
Speaker 5: who's the star running back for Pitt.

1651
01:21:58,960 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. Look at that. How about that

1652
01:22:01,400 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 2: for a breakdown? Love that.

1653
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:07,800
Speaker 5: This is what I do, guys, This is what I do.

1654
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:14,640
Speaker 4: Yes, I this is this is more of what I

1655
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:16,760
Speaker 4: was expecting from the Seamus Special.

1656
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 3: But Jared, you're right.

1657
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 4: I mean, and that's the other thing, kind of the

1658
01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 4: fun kitchy part about Bowl season that I still do

1659
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:29,840
Speaker 4: love and admire is the haphazard nation or or or

1660
01:22:30,640 --> 01:22:34,479
Speaker 4: way that that they're they're slated. The the nature of

1661
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 4: Bowl games is, you know, basically wherever there's a time slot,

1662
01:22:39,640 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 4: since we know that the majority of Americans are either

1663
01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 4: you know, working a reduced holiday schedule or potentially off

1664
01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:51,920
Speaker 4: completely during the holiday season. Yeah, let's just have you know,

1665
01:22:51,960 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 4: a random kickoff at ten am on the West coast.

1666
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:59,760
Speaker 4: You know, it's it just works, It's it's perfect. I

1667
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 4: love that stuff so much. I think it's a lot

1668
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:02,679
Speaker 4: of fun.

1669
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 2: You know, before we get to a playoff matchup here,

1670
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:09,160
Speaker 2: just the thirty seconds. Give me like a thirty second

1671
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 2: spiel if you will, I go Spiel. I put the

1672
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:15,040
Speaker 2: h in there. Some say speel, I go spiel thirty seconds.

1673
01:23:15,479 --> 01:23:18,439
Speaker 2: I think a lot of the Bowl season, we're talking

1674
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 2: the non playoff games. It's what you want to focus on,

1675
01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:24,080
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Like if you want to

1676
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:28,320
Speaker 2: focus on all the opt outs and this guy's out,

1677
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,400
Speaker 2: this doesn't mean as much as it once did. You

1678
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:32,800
Speaker 2: could focus on that, or like last night I was

1679
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 2: watching Minnesota beat New Mexico. Game goes to overtime. It's

1680
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:40,000
Speaker 2: a brilliant catch to win it for Minnesota. They're acting

1681
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:41,639
Speaker 2: like they won the Super Bowl, you know what I mean,

1682
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 2: Like these kids go out there and try to kill

1683
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 2: each other. So you can either focus on the opt

1684
01:23:46,200 --> 01:23:49,680
Speaker 2: outs or just focus on the effort and how much

1685
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 2: these guys want it, like they're still competitors out there,

1686
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 2: even though it's like quote unquote a lesser Bowl game

1687
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,719
Speaker 2: and quote unquote it's not meaning what it once did.

1688
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,920
Speaker 2: You can still focus on you know, they're going out

1689
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:04,920
Speaker 2: there and giving full effort. The kids that are on

1690
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,679
Speaker 2: the field. So that's my spiel as far as that goes.

1691
01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 2: How about the playoffs, hero, we got Ole Miss against Georgia.

1692
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 2: It is the All State Sugar Bowl. This is Thursday,

1693
01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 2: on a New Year's Day. And I mentioned that when

1694
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:20,880
Speaker 2: these two teams met each other in the regular season,

1695
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 2: one team smacked around the other team. Now that would

1696
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 2: be specifically in the fourth quarter where Georgia put the

1697
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:31,680
Speaker 2: wood to ole Miss outscored him seventeen to nothing. And

1698
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 2: that was after the game where Kirby Smart was like,

1699
01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 2: the one thing we are we're hard to kill and

1700
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,599
Speaker 2: I'm like, that's right, and Oklahoma was like, let's rip

1701
01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:43,559
Speaker 2: that saying off like Oklahoma, it's like sweatshirts and hoodies.

1702
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:46,000
Speaker 2: Hard to kill him. Like that's a Georgia thing over here.

1703
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:50,400
Speaker 2: But Georgia rushed for two twenty six against ole Miss

1704
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:55,080
Speaker 2: last game, and uh, ole Miss, they like to they're

1705
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:58,400
Speaker 2: not very good defending the like the perimeter. In the

1706
01:24:58,439 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 2: passing game, they're not good outsid the numbers, and that's

1707
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:04,360
Speaker 2: where Gunner Stockton really loves to throw the football. So

1708
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 2: that's a mismatch as well. And of course no Lane

1709
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 2: Kiffin in this game for Ole miss either.

1710
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:12,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I mean, well, no Lane Kiffen, but they

1711
01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 4: look great to give the Rebels their due. In the

1712
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 4: first game without Kiffin, they dominated Tulane again, but this

1713
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:23,160
Speaker 4: time to the tune of forty one to ten. In

1714
01:25:23,439 --> 01:25:27,120
Speaker 4: round one, however, there were some bumps along the way,

1715
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:31,320
Speaker 4: Chambliss and Lacy going down with injuries. It looks like

1716
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:36,559
Speaker 4: Chambalish will play. Lacy is still questionable. I'm actually not

1717
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:39,920
Speaker 4: sure if that's up to date information or if he's

1718
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:43,680
Speaker 4: more you know, closer on a timeline to being available

1719
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 4: for this one. But I don't know if that matters

1720
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 4: because Georgia found a way to shut down Lacy in

1721
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:50,839
Speaker 4: the last matchup.

1722
01:25:50,960 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 3: Anyways, I it's it's gonna be interesting this game.

1723
01:25:56,760 --> 01:26:00,559
Speaker 4: I think that the Bulldogs improved since last time they

1724
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:04,639
Speaker 4: faced each other. I don't think that I don't think

1725
01:26:04,680 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 4: that this is the same Georgia team. I don't think

1726
01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 4: it's the same Rebels team for more obvious reasons without

1727
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 4: Kiffin at the helm. But Georgia's defense hasn't allowed more

1728
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 4: than twenty one points in the final stretch of their

1729
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 4: games after they saw Mississippi, and they've only allowed a

1730
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 4: total of twenty nine points in their last four games,

1731
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:31,600
Speaker 4: So Georgie's defense has really battened down the hatches. My

1732
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:34,679
Speaker 4: question is when the Rebels offense is on the field,

1733
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:36,639
Speaker 4: are they going to be able to move the ball

1734
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:37,479
Speaker 4: against Georgia.

1735
01:26:38,720 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, so let's go. Because I did a deep dive.

1736
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:42,960
Speaker 5: Actually last night, I went back and I watched the

1737
01:26:43,120 --> 01:26:45,599
Speaker 5: entire offense for ole Miss against Georgia. In this game,

1738
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:47,720
Speaker 5: here are some things that I noticed. First of all,

1739
01:26:47,800 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 5: Trinidad Chambliss. It was a season low completion rate for him,

1740
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:55,519
Speaker 5: season low passing grade, so he didn't really throw it

1741
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:57,600
Speaker 5: that well. Even though again ole Miss was up in

1742
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:01,160
Speaker 5: the game and they were playing well, he specifically did

1743
01:27:01,160 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 5: not play his best game.

1744
01:27:02,760 --> 01:27:04,240
Speaker 2: And the other thing I noticed too.

1745
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:08,720
Speaker 5: Is Georgia played a ton of man coverage, significantly more

1746
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:11,519
Speaker 5: man coverage than they took typically played. They played man

1747
01:27:11,560 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 5: coverage at around a forty percent rate. They're usually around

1748
01:27:14,439 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 5: a twenty percent rate for the year. They're a heavy

1749
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 5: zone team. They like to mix up their zone looks

1750
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:22,479
Speaker 5: and they like to disguise it and then bring pressure

1751
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 5: off of it. But they ran eleon a lot of

1752
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:28,160
Speaker 5: man coverage against ole Miss, and maybe that's twofold a.

1753
01:27:28,640 --> 01:27:31,320
Speaker 2: They didn't fully believe.

1754
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 5: That the old Miss receivers could get separation, and they

1755
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 5: wanted Chambliss to have to make throws into tight windows.

1756
01:27:37,320 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 5: Ole Miss did a good job though, with Yak one

1757
01:27:39,240 --> 01:27:42,600
Speaker 5: hundred and ninety nine yards after the catch, which is

1758
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 5: a strength for them. Stribbling Wallace, Caden Lee, Douce, Alexander

1759
01:27:45,880 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 5: like these are very good weapons. But I think Georgia's

1760
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,360
Speaker 5: defense is playing better now than it was two months ago.

1761
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 5: When these two teams first played, Chambliss only went two

1762
01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:55,719
Speaker 5: for eleven on throws ten or more yards down the field.

1763
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 5: And he's been one of the best deep throwers in

1764
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 5: the country this year, but again in this specific game

1765
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:03,800
Speaker 5: two months ago, he didn't play that well. The one

1766
01:28:03,840 --> 01:28:06,599
Speaker 5: thing he did do very well that was a factor

1767
01:28:06,800 --> 01:28:09,320
Speaker 5: time and time again, especially in the red zone and

1768
01:28:09,360 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 5: on third downs. His legs are a problem, and if

1769
01:28:13,200 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 5: you're playing man to man, that means the defensive backs

1770
01:28:15,920 --> 01:28:18,519
Speaker 5: have their backs to the quarterback. Right when you're in zone,

1771
01:28:18,800 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 5: it's eyes on quarterback. When you're in man, you're running

1772
01:28:21,479 --> 01:28:25,120
Speaker 5: with those receivers and that's where the quarterback's.

1773
01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:27,280
Speaker 2: Legs can be a problem. So We'll see how.

1774
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 5: Georgia and defensive coordinator Glenn Schuman decides to play this.

1775
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:34,559
Speaker 5: I think they'll go heavy man again. But there is

1776
01:28:34,600 --> 01:28:35,439
Speaker 5: something to be said.

1777
01:28:35,520 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 2: And Brian, I'm.

1778
01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:37,559
Speaker 5: Sure you know this because you watched a ton of

1779
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 5: Georgia over the years. When you play Kirby Smart for

1780
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:45,280
Speaker 5: a second time in the same season, I give the

1781
01:28:45,360 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 5: edge to Kirby Smart because I think his analysts and

1782
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:51,000
Speaker 5: the way he goes about his business is significantly more

1783
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:54,320
Speaker 5: buttoned up than any other coaching staff in the country.

1784
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 5: And I think right we saw it with Alabama. They

1785
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 5: played Georgia early in the year on the road and

1786
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:01,759
Speaker 5: they moved it really well in that game. They converted

1787
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:03,280
Speaker 5: a ton of third downs and they won the game.

1788
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:05,240
Speaker 5: Then they played them for a second time in the

1789
01:29:05,280 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 5: SEC Championship game and Kirby Smart slammed the door shut.

1790
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 5: So I think this is advantage Georgia on defense because

1791
01:29:13,280 --> 01:29:16,240
Speaker 5: you put all this on tape and you allow the

1792
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 5: Georgia coaching staff to make the adjustments. And I do

1793
01:29:19,240 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 5: think they all miss ain't scoring thirty five in this game.

1794
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:24,920
Speaker 2: Let's just leave it at that. Yeah, I love Georgia, man,

1795
01:29:25,280 --> 01:29:27,400
Speaker 2: They're I don't know how I can put this. They're

1796
01:29:27,840 --> 01:29:30,920
Speaker 2: they're a gritty team. You typically see this grit with

1797
01:29:31,200 --> 01:29:33,960
Speaker 2: much much lesser talented teams, You know what I mean,

1798
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:36,799
Speaker 2: They're just gritty. We're just gonna fight you all game long.

1799
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:40,760
Speaker 2: Georgia has talent, like real talent, and they're gritty as

1800
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:41,479
Speaker 2: if they don't.

1801
01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 3: You know.

1802
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:44,479
Speaker 2: That's that's the best compliment I could give them is

1803
01:29:44,840 --> 01:29:47,639
Speaker 2: they just battled you the whole game, man, And their

1804
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 2: defense has really been nasty. They the SEC Championship game

1805
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:56,320
Speaker 2: that was a beat down of Alabama, who's got weapons offensively,

1806
01:29:56,920 --> 01:30:00,160
Speaker 2: and so I really like how the Georgia's defense is playing.

1807
01:30:00,800 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 2: And look, man without Lane Kiff, and it's hard to

1808
01:30:03,320 --> 01:30:06,040
Speaker 2: see Old Miss winning this game. I have a hard

1809
01:30:06,080 --> 01:30:08,800
Speaker 2: time seeing Ole Miss covering. I like Georgia in this game,

1810
01:30:09,240 --> 01:30:11,040
Speaker 2: and I've liked him throughout the season. The one thing

1811
01:30:11,120 --> 01:30:13,880
Speaker 2: I would say about Old Miss that you really need

1812
01:30:14,040 --> 01:30:16,640
Speaker 2: to change from the first game. You gotta get the

1813
01:30:16,720 --> 01:30:18,479
Speaker 2: running game going. You gotta find a way to get

1814
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:21,320
Speaker 2: Key one Lacy going only thirty one rushing yards on

1815
01:30:21,360 --> 01:30:25,599
Speaker 2: twelve attempts last game against Georgia, Like, that's got to change.

1816
01:30:25,640 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 2: It can't just be Chambliss doing his thing with his

1817
01:30:28,439 --> 01:30:31,280
Speaker 2: legs and throwing the ball. You gotta have Keywan Lacy.

1818
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:33,920
Speaker 2: He's a big playmaker for ole Miss, and he was

1819
01:30:33,960 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 2: completely held in check. It's gonna be tough against that

1820
01:30:37,040 --> 01:30:39,640
Speaker 2: Georgia rush defense, but I think you gotta find a

1821
01:30:39,640 --> 01:30:40,840
Speaker 2: way to get Lacey going.

1822
01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:42,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, you absolutely do.

1823
01:30:43,200 --> 01:30:46,679
Speaker 4: You know what's gonna be interesting is Oddly, the more

1824
01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:49,080
Speaker 4: I think about this game and think about what I

1825
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,840
Speaker 4: expect to see this game, the more I think it

1826
01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:56,280
Speaker 4: reminds me of we were just talking about Texans Chargers

1827
01:30:57,200 --> 01:31:00,320
Speaker 4: one of these late season or in this case, post

1828
01:31:00,360 --> 01:31:03,559
Speaker 4: season battles where you have two teams that have really

1829
01:31:03,680 --> 01:31:10,040
Speaker 4: honed a fine edge defensively and they don't they give

1830
01:31:10,080 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 4: ground grudgingly, they don't give up a ton of points either.

1831
01:31:13,200 --> 01:31:13,720
Speaker 3: Defense.

1832
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 4: I think this could be a little bit more of

1833
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:19,040
Speaker 4: a Rockham SoC Them game. I definitely feel that way

1834
01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:23,360
Speaker 4: about the Oregon matchup. I think that is obviously the

1835
01:31:23,400 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 4: most even matchup that we're gonna have in the postseason.

1836
01:31:26,760 --> 01:31:31,040
Speaker 4: But defensively, I think this could be you know, Georgia

1837
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:34,080
Speaker 4: Ole Miss, They've seen each other already this season. This

1838
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:37,360
Speaker 4: could be another one of those low scoring affairs where

1839
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 4: the team that makes the mistake or the couple mistakes

1840
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:46,240
Speaker 4: that really seal their fate is going to be the

1841
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:49,599
Speaker 4: team that loses. I don't think there's gonna be much

1842
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,240
Speaker 4: margin for error in this game at all because of

1843
01:31:52,280 --> 01:31:55,200
Speaker 4: how well the defensives have played down the stretch of

1844
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:59,160
Speaker 4: the season. So this isn't gonna be a two lane outcome.

1845
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:03,479
Speaker 4: This isn't going to be a cake walk by any

1846
01:32:03,720 --> 01:32:06,479
Speaker 4: stretch of the imagination for the Rebels, and they know that,

1847
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:10,479
Speaker 4: And I don't think it will be as as high

1848
01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:13,000
Speaker 4: a scoring game even as the last time they faced

1849
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:13,439
Speaker 4: each other.

1850
01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:16,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, the best running plays for all missing the first

1851
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:21,120
Speaker 5: game was definitely Chambliss Lacey had thirty one yards. As

1852
01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 5: a team, they only had nineteen yards before first contact

1853
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:26,640
Speaker 5: on the ground. So to Brian's point, like it's just

1854
01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:28,800
Speaker 5: if the running game is not there, and it's a

1855
01:32:28,840 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 5: lot of inside zone, it's a lot of RPO, and

1856
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 5: George's gonna sniff this out, like you're not gonna beat

1857
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:38,040
Speaker 5: them horizontally because they're just gout. They have so many athletes,

1858
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:39,879
Speaker 5: So unless you're you're.

1859
01:32:39,800 --> 01:32:42,800
Speaker 2: Pulling guys and moving people off the ball at the

1860
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage.

1861
01:32:43,520 --> 01:32:45,679
Speaker 5: You were not gonna gain much yards on the ground

1862
01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:48,559
Speaker 5: against this Georgia defense. Let's talk about the other side

1863
01:32:48,560 --> 01:32:51,360
Speaker 5: for a little bit. The Georgia offense against the Old

1864
01:32:51,400 --> 01:32:54,960
Speaker 5: Miss defense. Like I thought, All Miss uh held up

1865
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:57,280
Speaker 5: okay in the first half, and then things just kind

1866
01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 5: of fell off the rails. They struggle in zone coverage

1867
01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:03,040
Speaker 5: to diagnose the crossers, and that's what that's what Georgia

1868
01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:03,559
Speaker 5: loves to do.

1869
01:33:03,680 --> 01:33:03,880
Speaker 3: Right.

1870
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:07,880
Speaker 5: You've got a very horizontal passing game for Georgia. They're

1871
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:09,559
Speaker 5: really good at yak. I think they're really good at

1872
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 5: attacking outside the numbers. Gunner Stock then this year actually

1873
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:16,759
Speaker 5: leads the nation in adjusting completion rate throwing outside the numbers.

1874
01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:20,040
Speaker 5: He's got a really good receiver Zacharia Branch, who can

1875
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:22,760
Speaker 5: really stretch you with the screen game and the short

1876
01:33:22,840 --> 01:33:23,639
Speaker 5: quick passing game.

1877
01:33:23,680 --> 01:33:25,479
Speaker 2: And I love the tight ends Delp and Lucky.

1878
01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:28,160
Speaker 5: I mean, Georgia just seems to always have a stud

1879
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:32,120
Speaker 5: tight end who can make plays vertically and also can

1880
01:33:32,240 --> 01:33:34,679
Speaker 5: can can block. And that's really what makes the Georgia

1881
01:33:34,760 --> 01:33:37,720
Speaker 5: run game go. Is they all block like the Georgia.

1882
01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:42,000
Speaker 5: Georgia is a nasty football team on the outside blocking

1883
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:42,639
Speaker 5: their receivers.

1884
01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 2: They're tight ends. They get after you.

1885
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:45,600
Speaker 5: And that's where I think Ole Miss is going to

1886
01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:48,640
Speaker 5: struggle a little bit because they really they struggled to

1887
01:33:48,720 --> 01:33:50,160
Speaker 5: defend inside zone in the first game.

1888
01:33:50,200 --> 01:33:52,120
Speaker 2: Georgia was much more physical. They ran for over two

1889
01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:53,000
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty yards.

1890
01:33:53,040 --> 01:33:56,120
Speaker 5: One hundred of that two twenty was specifically on inside

1891
01:33:56,200 --> 01:33:58,439
Speaker 5: zone plays about five and a half yards per carry.

1892
01:33:59,160 --> 01:34:01,479
Speaker 5: The two d tack for the Rebels are gonna be huge,

1893
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:03,680
Speaker 5: Harrison Eccles. They really struggled to get pushed in the

1894
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:05,679
Speaker 5: first game against that Georgia offensive line.

1895
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:07,479
Speaker 2: The linebackers have to be good at fits.

1896
01:34:07,880 --> 01:34:10,760
Speaker 5: I there's not a lot that I really like for

1897
01:34:10,800 --> 01:34:15,960
Speaker 5: All Miss schematically here, but it's an SEC game. It's

1898
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,920
Speaker 5: a team that I think has shown you some fight

1899
01:34:19,000 --> 01:34:22,760
Speaker 5: in All Miss despite the lan Kiffin saga. And I'll

1900
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:24,720
Speaker 5: be honest, I think the best story or one of

1901
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:26,680
Speaker 5: the best stores in college football this year Brian is

1902
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:28,880
Speaker 5: Trinidad Chamblis. I mean, this kid was playing at Farris

1903
01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:32,200
Speaker 5: State last year. He is in the final eight of

1904
01:34:32,320 --> 01:34:35,679
Speaker 5: the College Football Playoff and he was a Heisman hopeful

1905
01:34:35,760 --> 01:34:37,240
Speaker 5: like he was. I think in the top ten. I

1906
01:34:37,280 --> 01:34:40,360
Speaker 5: think e finished seventh or eighth in the Heisman voting. Again,

1907
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:43,320
Speaker 5: this kid was playing D two at Farris State last

1908
01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:45,840
Speaker 5: year and he is in the SEC holding his own

1909
01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:48,120
Speaker 5: against some of the best players in the country. So

1910
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:50,840
Speaker 5: I think this is where the story ends for him.

1911
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:53,719
Speaker 5: But we have to tip our cap to Trinidad chamblas

1912
01:34:53,720 --> 01:34:56,919
Speaker 5: one of the best narratives and stories in college football

1913
01:34:57,080 --> 01:34:58,200
Speaker 5: in twenty twenty five.

1914
01:34:58,479 --> 01:35:01,960
Speaker 2: Absolutely not a noticeable drop off at all. You know,

1915
01:35:02,040 --> 01:35:04,639
Speaker 2: like the starter goes out, here comes Chambliss and you're like, man,

1916
01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 2: this guy can play like he's got some skill here.

1917
01:35:08,080 --> 01:35:12,639
Speaker 2: Also something else interesting, how about Georgia's season ending at

1918
01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:15,400
Speaker 2: the Sugar Bowl last year? They were right back here

1919
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:17,920
Speaker 2: at the Sugar Yeah, lost to Notre Dame. Remember before

1920
01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 2: halftime Gunner Stockton had that huge turnover and that that

1921
01:35:21,840 --> 01:35:25,800
Speaker 2: really swung the game in Notre Dame's favor. So right back,

1922
01:35:25,880 --> 01:35:29,360
Speaker 2: same stadium, same bowl game, trying to prevent the same outcome.

1923
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:31,960
Speaker 2: So kind of funny how that worked out for the Dogs.

1924
01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:34,080
Speaker 2: But I love their chances in this one. See how

1925
01:35:34,120 --> 01:35:36,960
Speaker 2: it shakes out. Right, We've got rich Orenberger, Penn State

1926
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 2: All American jeer at Smith FSR Betting analyst, very good

1927
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:43,000
Speaker 2: start in the Military Bowl. As far as the under

1928
01:35:43,040 --> 01:35:46,920
Speaker 2: a first quarter first half defense. I won't say it

1929
01:35:47,040 --> 01:35:52,920
Speaker 2: very loudly, but Pitts offense going backwards in the wrong direction. Man, Like,

1930
01:35:53,000 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 2: East Carolina had a decent first drive. They were in

1931
01:35:55,920 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 2: field goal range and it was third and long, and

1932
01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, man, you gotta love a feel goal. When

1933
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 2: you're on the under thirteen and a half, you still

1934
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:05,920
Speaker 2: need two touchdowns to kill you, right, And then he

1935
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:07,760
Speaker 2: took a sack and the didn't even get a fieldal

1936
01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:11,080
Speaker 2: So I'm like, man, props to Jaredy's off to a

1937
01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:14,160
Speaker 2: good start. At least we'll see if I just completely

1938
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 2: jinxed it or not.

1939
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:19,080
Speaker 5: It's okay, Yeah, you have no control over the outcome, right,

1940
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:19,559
Speaker 5: that's true.

1941
01:36:19,680 --> 01:36:20,320
Speaker 2: I'm Brian though.

1942
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:20,559

01:37:11,760 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 2: top of your screen. All Right, we get to the

1960
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:18,720
Speaker 2: NFL before we have a knockdown, drag out argument for

1961
01:37:18,760 --> 01:37:22,599
Speaker 2: the ages. That's the way it goes, contractually obligated whenever

1962
01:37:22,640 --> 01:37:25,759
Speaker 2: we talk about Alabama. So that's that's on the way.

1963
01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:30,599
Speaker 2: We've got the Packers favored by three points against the Ravens.

1964
01:37:30,680 --> 01:37:33,040
Speaker 2: Total is now at thirty eight and a half, and

1965
01:37:33,120 --> 01:37:36,639
Speaker 2: that would be because starting quarterbacks is probably not gonna

1966
01:37:36,640 --> 01:37:38,599
Speaker 2: be playing in this game. No Jordan Love, he's been

1967
01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:43,280
Speaker 2: ruled out concussion, you know, protocol, the whole thing. Malik

1968
01:37:43,320 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 2: Willis will be in there, and Lamar Jackson is listed

1969
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:48,519
Speaker 2: as doubtful so if he can't go and it doesn't

1970
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 2: look like he will, it would be Tyler Huntley. So

1971
01:37:51,600 --> 01:37:54,799
Speaker 2: now here's the thing. If you look at this matchup,

1972
01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:57,000
Speaker 2: and I'm really curious to hear what Rich has to

1973
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:01,040
Speaker 2: say former NFL player, but my view on this, Lamar

1974
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 2: Jackson has a back contusion. He has a bruise that

1975
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:08,560
Speaker 2: he took a knee to the back against the Patriots

1976
01:38:09,040 --> 01:38:11,800
Speaker 2: and he never got back in the game. I thought

1977
01:38:11,840 --> 01:38:14,479
Speaker 2: he'd be back in the second half. That's a gots

1978
01:38:14,479 --> 01:38:17,559
Speaker 2: the have it game. They lost the game, and that's

1979
01:38:17,600 --> 01:38:20,519
Speaker 2: why the situation is so dire. The Ravens have to

1980
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:23,439
Speaker 2: beat the Packers or their season is a rap. And

1981
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 2: even if they beat the Packers, if the Steelers win

1982
01:38:26,439 --> 01:38:30,639
Speaker 2: on Sunday, they beat the Browns tomorrow, the Ravens are done.

1983
01:38:31,120 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 2: So that was a huge game against the Patriots last week,

1984
01:38:34,760 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 2: and Lamar didn't get back into that thing. Right after

1985
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:40,719
Speaker 2: the game, he was ruled day to day with this bruise,

1986
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 2: and now he's doubtful against the Packers. And I just

1987
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,360
Speaker 2: look at this and I'm like, how many quarterbacks in

1988
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:51,479
Speaker 2: the NFL today with the same injury would find a

1989
01:38:51,479 --> 01:38:54,400
Speaker 2: way to get out there, and the answer is many,

1990
01:38:54,560 --> 01:38:57,719
Speaker 2: are you telling me Josh Allen with a bruised back,

1991
01:38:57,800 --> 01:38:59,320
Speaker 2: he's not getting back on the field. There are a

1992
01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:02,240
Speaker 2: lot of quarterback that would be out there. And that's

1993
01:39:02,280 --> 01:39:04,760
Speaker 2: just how I look at this one. With Lamar. It's

1994
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,479
Speaker 2: not you know, he's got a shoulder injury and man,

1995
01:39:07,520 --> 01:39:11,599
Speaker 2: he's it's like a four to six week timetable and

1996
01:39:11,640 --> 01:39:13,840
Speaker 2: it's I'm not looking at him sideways for not getting

1997
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:15,719
Speaker 2: on the field for that, But when it's a bruise,

1998
01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 2: you're day to day with a bruise, Dude, Like, what

1999
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:20,880
Speaker 2: are we doing at this point? That's just how I

2000
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:23,400
Speaker 2: see it. I just don't see how Lamar is not

2001
01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:26,879
Speaker 2: playing this game nor the second half against the Patriots

2002
01:39:26,960 --> 01:39:32,479
Speaker 2: last week. It's just crazy to me. I think we

2003
01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:33,599
Speaker 2: might have lost rich there.

2004
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:34,639
Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm back.

2005
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:38,160
Speaker 4: I oh, you've had my volume nom turned way down

2006
01:39:38,880 --> 01:39:41,880
Speaker 4: because well, while Brian you were talking, I didn't want

2007
01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:44,840
Speaker 4: to interrupt you. There were a couple of there were

2008
01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:49,000
Speaker 4: a couple of things that you said that I'm struggling

2009
01:39:49,040 --> 01:39:53,559
Speaker 4: with now I'm there. These just might not be things

2010
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:56,000
Speaker 4: that a lot of people think about when it comes

2011
01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:59,880
Speaker 4: to injury report that when when you play and you walk.

2012
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:04,640
Speaker 4: How deceptive these injury reports are and can be.

2013
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:07,680
Speaker 3: There's a lot of gamesmanship. It's sort of like the

2014
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 3: game behind the game.

2015
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:16,000
Speaker 4: So first off, I it's possible that Lamar Jackson isn't

2016
01:40:16,120 --> 01:40:21,400
Speaker 4: nearly as injured as the Ravens are are showcasing him

2017
01:40:21,400 --> 01:40:23,760
Speaker 4: to be. You know what I mean, Like, there is

2018
01:40:23,800 --> 01:40:29,200
Speaker 4: some gamesmanship when a quarterback leaves a game and you

2019
01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:32,120
Speaker 4: know it's a game that you know you're you're gonna

2020
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:35,720
Speaker 4: lose anyways, or he's honestly too injured to return so

2021
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:38,680
Speaker 4: he doesn't return to the game, whatever the situation may be,

2022
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:42,160
Speaker 4: where you now have a week to sort of play

2023
01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:42,840
Speaker 4: a little.

2024
01:40:42,600 --> 01:40:43,400
Speaker 3: Cat and mouse.

2025
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:46,679
Speaker 4: You're forcing a team to get ready for Tyler Huntley,

2026
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:50,000
Speaker 4: but the same token, what if they see some Lamar Jackson.

2027
01:40:50,600 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 4: You gotta prepare two very different game scripts for these

2028
01:40:54,000 --> 01:40:57,719
Speaker 4: two very different quarterbacks. They have some similarities, but Lamar

2029
01:40:57,840 --> 01:41:01,840
Speaker 4: Jackson is markedly different than Huntley. That's one way to

2030
01:41:01,880 --> 01:41:03,760
Speaker 4: look at this. The other way to look at this

2031
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:08,880
Speaker 4: is just because the injury report says back contusion doesn't

2032
01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:11,000
Speaker 4: necessarily mean that's what he's playing through.

2033
01:41:12,280 --> 01:41:14,680
Speaker 3: It could be a much more severe situation.

2034
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:18,240
Speaker 4: He may have been dealing with, you know, a herniation

2035
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:21,360
Speaker 4: of one of his discs for the majority of the season.

2036
01:41:21,880 --> 01:41:25,559
Speaker 4: That knee of the back might have flared up, a muscle,

2037
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:28,839
Speaker 4: it may have leaned on a nerve, and for anybody

2038
01:41:28,880 --> 01:41:32,080
Speaker 4: who's been through any sort of sciatica pain, they know

2039
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:34,400
Speaker 4: the deal like it can shut down a half of

2040
01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:38,840
Speaker 4: your body. So depending on how severe this injury is,

2041
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:42,840
Speaker 4: they also may not be putting the full injury on

2042
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:45,760
Speaker 4: the report. And there are certain injuries that never get

2043
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 4: reported by the way. You know, it's the NFL. Guys

2044
01:41:48,160 --> 01:41:51,439
Speaker 4: are playing banged and bromped and bruised all year long,

2045
01:41:51,800 --> 01:41:53,800
Speaker 4: and they want to disguise things until the end of

2046
01:41:53,840 --> 01:41:56,320
Speaker 4: the season when you hear, oh wow, that offensive lineman

2047
01:41:56,400 --> 01:41:59,080
Speaker 4: or that defensive end or that linebacker or that running

2048
01:41:59,120 --> 01:42:01,800
Speaker 4: back is going to have knee surgery in the offseason.

2049
01:42:01,800 --> 01:42:04,120
Speaker 4: Where did that come from. Well, he's been battling it

2050
01:42:04,160 --> 01:42:06,720
Speaker 4: all year long. They just never put it on the

2051
01:42:06,720 --> 01:42:09,759
Speaker 4: injury report because he was never doubtful for a single game.

2052
01:42:10,080 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 4: You know, it's the injury report is weird. So I

2053
01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:16,280
Speaker 4: guess I'll sum it up by saying my expectation is

2054
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:20,559
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson will actually play, and if he doesn't, my

2055
01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:24,519
Speaker 4: guess is because they are putting an injury on the

2056
01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 4: report that meshes up with what you saw in the field,

2057
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 4: but it may not be the whole story.

2058
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:33,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, I can't speak to that as much as rich

2059
01:42:33,600 --> 01:42:36,080
Speaker 5: cann and I don't want to pooh poo any of

2060
01:42:36,120 --> 01:42:38,080
Speaker 5: the injuries that these guys suffer. I mean, I'm sitting

2061
01:42:38,080 --> 01:42:40,799
Speaker 5: here on my couch rooting for rooting for no points

2062
01:42:40,800 --> 01:42:43,000
Speaker 5: in a stupid Bowl game, while these guys are out there,

2063
01:42:43,120 --> 01:42:45,920
Speaker 5: you know, risking life and limb, you know, going to

2064
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:49,680
Speaker 5: battle every single week. So I certainly understand that there

2065
01:42:49,720 --> 01:42:52,600
Speaker 5: is an element of there's an element of risk that

2066
01:42:53,040 --> 01:42:55,639
Speaker 5: is involved with these players, especially the quarterback position when

2067
01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:58,320
Speaker 5: Lamar's making a gajillion dollars and they just don't want

2068
01:42:58,400 --> 01:43:00,880
Speaker 5: him to be, you know, on the shelf for an

2069
01:43:00,880 --> 01:43:04,640
Speaker 5: extended period of time. To me, I think there is

2070
01:43:04,680 --> 01:43:09,840
Speaker 5: an element also of excitement that goes into these games

2071
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:11,200
Speaker 5: when the backups do play.

2072
01:43:11,439 --> 01:43:12,760
Speaker 2: And Brian, you mentioned this.

2073
01:43:12,720 --> 01:43:14,439
Speaker 5: A little bit at the top when we're talking about

2074
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:16,639
Speaker 5: some of the Bowl games and the opt outs. It's

2075
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:19,360
Speaker 5: an opportunity for Tyler Huntley, you know, and This is

2076
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:21,719
Speaker 5: a guy that's been around the block. And I feel

2077
01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:23,920
Speaker 5: the same way about Malik Willis on the other side,

2078
01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:26,479
Speaker 5: another guy that's had a lot of success coming in

2079
01:43:26,520 --> 01:43:29,160
Speaker 5: the relief role. And you get these quarterbacks that come

2080
01:43:29,200 --> 01:43:31,200
Speaker 5: in and really get the showcase what they can do

2081
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:35,280
Speaker 5: at the backup level, and it's money for them, it's

2082
01:43:35,400 --> 01:43:38,439
Speaker 5: a job for them, it's security for them down the road.

2083
01:43:38,560 --> 01:43:42,360
Speaker 5: So yeah, obviously the game loses a lot more luster

2084
01:43:43,640 --> 01:43:45,600
Speaker 5: when it's Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson. Then all of

2085
01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:48,200
Speaker 5: a sudden, now it's Huntley versus Willis. It doesn't have

2086
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:51,519
Speaker 5: the same sex appeal as the game might have had

2087
01:43:51,600 --> 01:43:53,880
Speaker 5: to the TV ratings and all the fun watching it.

2088
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:57,320
Speaker 5: But anytime you get these backups that come into the game,

2089
01:43:57,600 --> 01:44:01,639
Speaker 5: I always look to see how they operate and how

2090
01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:05,479
Speaker 5: they handle the moment. And I give Malik frankly, Malik

2091
01:44:05,479 --> 01:44:07,840
Speaker 5: Willis a lot of credit. And Tyler Huntley Huntly played well,

2092
01:44:07,880 --> 01:44:10,840
Speaker 5: I thought in the Patriots game in the second half

2093
01:44:11,120 --> 01:44:13,679
Speaker 5: as a defense for Baltimore, just couldn't get off the field.

2094
01:44:14,160 --> 01:44:16,679
Speaker 5: And for Malik Willis, I mean, I feel like Brian

2095
01:44:16,720 --> 01:44:18,479
Speaker 5: he's done it time and time again where he gets

2096
01:44:18,479 --> 01:44:20,400
Speaker 5: called off the bench and all of a sudden, the

2097
01:44:20,439 --> 01:44:22,439
Speaker 5: offense is running pretty well, like he can run it

2098
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:25,200
Speaker 5: really well. He's shown some ability to throw it. So

2099
01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:27,840
Speaker 5: it's obviously disappointing, and I'm sure there's an element of

2100
01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:30,800
Speaker 5: the injury risk that is, you know, kind of underreported,

2101
01:44:31,240 --> 01:44:34,720
Speaker 5: But I try to spin it positively and focus on

2102
01:44:34,800 --> 01:44:37,679
Speaker 5: the opportunities that these backup quarterbacks get late in the year.

2103
01:44:38,080 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 5: And if you've done your homework and you know what

2104
01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 5: attributes these quarterbacks bring to the table, it actually does

2105
01:44:45,880 --> 01:44:49,639
Speaker 5: present betting opportunities because sometimes the odds move a little

2106
01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:50,479
Speaker 5: bit too much.

2107
01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:53,800
Speaker 2: In one direction based off of these moves. Well, I'll

2108
01:44:53,840 --> 01:44:56,639
Speaker 2: agree that Malik Willis has played well for the Packers.

2109
01:44:56,680 --> 01:44:59,960
Speaker 2: He looks like a completely different quarterback than the short

2110
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:02,200
Speaker 2: sample size that we got with him with the Titans.

2111
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:05,960
Speaker 2: He looks completely different with Matt Lafleur. So that part

2112
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:08,920
Speaker 2: is true. The other part, though, with the Lamar injury,

2113
01:45:09,640 --> 01:45:12,479
Speaker 2: is if we're playing this game of in order for

2114
01:45:12,520 --> 01:45:14,720
Speaker 2: this to be true, right, in order for it to

2115
01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:17,519
Speaker 2: be true that, let's just say Lamar's back injury is

2116
01:45:17,520 --> 01:45:20,759
Speaker 2: way worse. The injury report is you know a mixture

2117
01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:23,960
Speaker 2: of let's not let the true story out there mixed

2118
01:45:23,960 --> 01:45:26,840
Speaker 2: with you know, let's uh the little gamesmanship over here.

2119
01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:29,880
Speaker 2: In order for that to be true, the Ravens wouldn't

2120
01:45:29,880 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 2: have said what they've said. Like, there are reports that

2121
01:45:33,040 --> 01:45:35,080
Speaker 2: the Ravens are like, yeah, we thought he he'd be

2122
01:45:35,120 --> 01:45:37,519
Speaker 2: okay to play in this game against the Packers. If

2123
01:45:37,520 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 2: this was a much more severe injury against the Packers,

2124
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:43,599
Speaker 2: they one wouldn't think that. They two certainly wouldn't say that.

2125
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:46,479
Speaker 2: So I don't buy any of that. I just don't like.

2126
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:49,599
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense for the Ravens to be like, yeah,

2127
01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:51,840
Speaker 2: we thought he'd be out there. If it was more serious,

2128
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:54,559
Speaker 2: they wouldn't think or say that. So I just don't

2129
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:56,439
Speaker 2: I don't buy it. I don't buy it at all.

2130
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:59,479
Speaker 2: But you know whatever, we have two different perspectives. And

2131
01:45:59,520 --> 01:46:03,840
Speaker 2: that's the per perfect segue to Alabama versus Indiana, is

2132
01:46:03,840 --> 01:46:06,120
Speaker 2: it not? And I was just thinking about this with

2133
01:46:06,680 --> 01:46:09,719
Speaker 2: IU favored by seven. I'm gonna try to be as

2134
01:46:10,680 --> 01:46:14,360
Speaker 2: Christian as possible about this, Okay. I was thinking, like,

2135
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:18,479
Speaker 2: what makes Rich and Jared turned into like roll Tide

2136
01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:22,640
Speaker 2: Barracudas when I start talking about Alabama and what I

2137
01:46:22,720 --> 01:46:27,080
Speaker 2: came up with is I'm not talking trash about any

2138
01:46:27,120 --> 01:46:31,800
Speaker 2: of Alabama's wins, Okay, I'm really not. What I'm looking at,

2139
01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:35,719
Speaker 2: more so than anything, is their formula. What's their formula

2140
01:46:35,760 --> 01:46:39,200
Speaker 2: for success and how likely is it that it will

2141
01:46:39,200 --> 01:46:44,640
Speaker 2: be sustainable? And I just don't see that formula being sustainable.

2142
01:46:44,960 --> 01:46:47,679
Speaker 2: So maybe that's the disconnect where I'm not like, oh,

2143
01:46:47,760 --> 01:46:49,800
Speaker 2: they got a lucky break here, they got a lucky

2144
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:53,479
Speaker 2: break there against Oklahoma, which is true, but it's not

2145
01:46:53,560 --> 01:46:56,360
Speaker 2: taking credit away from their win. They did some good

2146
01:46:56,400 --> 01:46:58,960
Speaker 2: things in that game, they took advantage of some miscues

2147
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:00,800
Speaker 2: in that game, they won the game. I'm not taking

2148
01:47:00,840 --> 01:47:03,400
Speaker 2: any credit away from them winning. But what I'm looking

2149
01:47:03,439 --> 01:47:07,120
Speaker 2: at is the formula for that win and how likely

2150
01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:09,880
Speaker 2: it is to translate to the next win or the

2151
01:47:09,920 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 2: next game. They've won eleven games, They've had some impressive performances.

2152
01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:16,320
Speaker 2: They're not a dud team. But I just think for

2153
01:47:16,360 --> 01:47:19,479
Speaker 2: anybody who thinks they've got the real goods, I don't

2154
01:47:19,520 --> 01:47:21,680
Speaker 2: think they do. I think they're fools gold and I

2155
01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:24,599
Speaker 2: just look at no running game. I don't say they're

2156
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:27,400
Speaker 2: going to run the ball against Indiana. They don't have

2157
01:47:27,439 --> 01:47:29,720
Speaker 2: a good pass rush. That's a horrible thing to have

2158
01:47:29,920 --> 01:47:33,640
Speaker 2: against Fernando Mendoz who just won the Heisman. And I

2159
01:47:33,760 --> 01:47:36,599
Speaker 2: just don't trust Tys Simpson, who's been good and bad.

2160
01:47:36,640 --> 01:47:39,920
Speaker 2: He's been inconsistent down the stretch of the season. I

2161
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:43,679
Speaker 2: just don't see that turning into gold for role Tide.

2162
01:47:43,720 --> 01:47:46,160
Speaker 2: I don't think any of that is unfair. But just

2163
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:48,120
Speaker 2: so you guys know, I'm not taking credit away from

2164
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:51,080
Speaker 2: any of their eleven wins. I just questioned them in

2165
01:47:51,120 --> 01:47:54,200
Speaker 2: the next game getting a win, and in particular against IU,

2166
01:47:54,280 --> 01:47:55,760
Speaker 2: I just don't see it for them.

2167
01:47:56,240 --> 01:48:02,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I definitely disagree with with the thought

2168
01:48:02,320 --> 01:48:06,040
Speaker 4: process about Alabama, and we've outlined that. I think I

2169
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:08,840
Speaker 4: think the main issue and I don't want to speak

2170
01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:11,960
Speaker 4: for Jared because he'll have his opportunity to respond, But

2171
01:48:12,120 --> 01:48:15,200
Speaker 4: my main issue with the way you've talked about Alabama

2172
01:48:15,240 --> 01:48:18,840
Speaker 4: this year because again, I mean, I'm not a fan

2173
01:48:19,160 --> 01:48:23,920
Speaker 4: of Alabama. I'm not I am not pot committed to

2174
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:28,400
Speaker 4: them at all. If I'm speaking completely transparently, I haven't

2175
01:48:28,560 --> 01:48:31,439
Speaker 4: even put a single dollar on the Crimson time this

2176
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:35,000
Speaker 4: year in terms of bets, you know, to win or

2177
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:39,280
Speaker 4: lose or otherwise, Like I literally have put zero action

2178
01:48:39,360 --> 01:48:43,599
Speaker 4: on Alabama in any of their games or futures this season,

2179
01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:48,479
Speaker 4: So I have literally nothing riding on these comments, the

2180
01:48:48,640 --> 01:48:53,479
Speaker 4: verbiage of calling them frauds or or you know, I

2181
01:48:53,479 --> 01:48:55,599
Speaker 4: mean some of the tweets you've put out about them,

2182
01:48:55,640 --> 01:49:00,439
Speaker 4: because obviously, you know, it's felt like you've been hooking

2183
01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:03,200
Speaker 4: the hornet's nest, and me and Jared have rushed to

2184
01:49:03,240 --> 01:49:06,040
Speaker 4: their defense. I wouldn't say it's so much rushing to

2185
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:08,720
Speaker 4: their defense. For me, it's more of like, are you

2186
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 4: sure you want to call them frauds? Brian? Are you

2187
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:15,559
Speaker 4: sure you want to be that strong with the words

2188
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:18,920
Speaker 4: you're using, because it doesn't seem like it fits the

2189
01:49:18,960 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 4: picture to me. Like ty Simpson, there's a lot of

2190
01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:26,320
Speaker 4: things he isn't, but a couple of the things he

2191
01:49:26,640 --> 01:49:31,439
Speaker 4: is is composed, poised. He's a great deep ball thrower.

2192
01:49:31,920 --> 01:49:34,120
Speaker 4: He does a really nice job in the pocket with

2193
01:49:34,240 --> 01:49:37,120
Speaker 4: his feet. If you look at his feet, even under pressure,

2194
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:40,880
Speaker 4: they're pretty quiet. He throws the ball in time. He

2195
01:49:41,080 --> 01:49:44,479
Speaker 4: plays on time, which means that when he gets to

2196
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:47,599
Speaker 4: the first hitch, you know, he moves on to his second,

2197
01:49:47,720 --> 01:49:50,439
Speaker 4: you know, progression, and then his second hitch he moves

2198
01:49:50,479 --> 01:49:55,160
Speaker 4: on to his third progression, and this guy understands offensive football,

2199
01:49:55,600 --> 01:49:59,479
Speaker 4: and he's a big driving force behind Alabama this season

2200
01:49:59,720 --> 01:50:03,479
Speaker 4: when as many games as they have, especially with a

2201
01:50:03,640 --> 01:50:09,240
Speaker 4: slightly down year defensively and definitely a down year offensively

2202
01:50:09,280 --> 01:50:11,640
Speaker 4: in terms of their run game, they've really had to

2203
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:15,880
Speaker 4: be more quarterback and receiver reliant this year than past

2204
01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:20,200
Speaker 4: teams we've seen fielded by Alabama. I don't I don't

2205
01:50:20,240 --> 01:50:24,400
Speaker 4: disagree with a tremendous amount about the way you analyze

2206
01:50:24,920 --> 01:50:28,519
Speaker 4: Alabama crimson type football this season, because I think you've

2207
01:50:28,560 --> 01:50:30,800
Speaker 4: said a lot of poignant things about the way they've

2208
01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:33,320
Speaker 4: played this year and have agreed with some of it.

2209
01:50:33,680 --> 01:50:35,880
Speaker 4: I just don't think they're frauds, and I don't think

2210
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:38,960
Speaker 4: I don't really understand how anybody who's watched them and

2211
01:50:39,040 --> 01:50:43,439
Speaker 4: I know you have, can can characterize them as frauds.

2212
01:50:44,479 --> 01:50:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think some of it. He just wants to

2213
01:50:45,960 --> 01:50:47,439
Speaker 2: poke the bear a little bit with us.

2214
01:50:47,880 --> 01:50:51,840
Speaker 5: I think that's part of the fraud comment or the

2215
01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:54,880
Speaker 5: fools gold comment. I think he knows he's trying to

2216
01:50:54,880 --> 01:50:58,320
Speaker 5: get under our skin. I think there is a certain

2217
01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:01,240
Speaker 5: element of unbalanced to their offense that I agree with

2218
01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:04,840
Speaker 5: The part that I disagree with is the path. It

2219
01:51:04,960 --> 01:51:08,200
Speaker 5: is possible for Alabama to win this game without running

2220
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:12,160
Speaker 5: it very effectively. They just have to keep Indiana honest,

2221
01:51:12,280 --> 01:51:13,880
Speaker 5: and they kept Oklahoma honest.

2222
01:51:14,520 --> 01:51:17,280
Speaker 2: They had a handful of runs that were.

2223
01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:21,519
Speaker 5: Successful in the game, and it kept Oklahoma honest enough

2224
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:24,360
Speaker 5: to where then Ty Simpson can do what Rich said,

2225
01:51:24,400 --> 01:51:28,040
Speaker 5: and the phrase that Rich is alluding to is called

2226
01:51:28,120 --> 01:51:31,759
Speaker 5: clicking through reads, and earlier in the year, I said

2227
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:34,200
Speaker 5: from the neck up, ty Simpson is the best quarterback

2228
01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:37,799
Speaker 5: in college football. There is nobody that clicks through reads

2229
01:51:37,880 --> 01:51:40,880
Speaker 5: and progressions better than him. There are NFL quarterbacks that

2230
01:51:40,920 --> 01:51:43,519
Speaker 5: aren't doing it at his level. There is one particular

2231
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:51,840
Speaker 5: play against Oklahoma where it was front side curl, not open, middle, hook,

2232
01:51:51,880 --> 01:51:56,439
Speaker 5: not open, backside deep over open, rip it first down Like.

2233
01:51:57,000 --> 01:51:59,000
Speaker 5: There are not a lot of quarterbacks, I would say,

2234
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:01,559
Speaker 5: maybe no quarterback in college football who can do that,

2235
01:52:02,240 --> 01:52:04,800
Speaker 5: because when Marcel Reid or John Mattier try to do it,

2236
01:52:05,160 --> 01:52:07,200
Speaker 5: like their eyes get all shaky and their feet get

2237
01:52:07,200 --> 01:52:10,360
Speaker 5: all happy, and it's just the brother they're frantic. And

2238
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:13,480
Speaker 5: that's where I think Ty Simpson is the best quarterback

2239
01:52:13,560 --> 01:52:14,320
Speaker 5: in college football.

2240
01:52:14,320 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 2: From the neck up.

2241
01:52:15,920 --> 01:52:18,559
Speaker 5: Now, does that mean he's gonna solve this Indiana defense.

2242
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:19,280
Speaker 3: I don't know.

2243
01:52:19,640 --> 01:52:21,600
Speaker 5: In Indiana's defense is legit. Look at they did the

2244
01:52:21,640 --> 01:52:25,479
Speaker 5: Dante more So, I do think Alabama has to run

2245
01:52:25,520 --> 01:52:28,679
Speaker 5: it just a little bit. I would say they need

2246
01:52:28,760 --> 01:52:31,719
Speaker 5: ten to fifteen runs in this game that are quote

2247
01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:35,200
Speaker 5: unquote successful four to six yards, just so they can

2248
01:52:35,240 --> 01:52:37,720
Speaker 5: get into second and five and not second and eight,

2249
01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:40,040
Speaker 5: just so they can go from second and ten to

2250
01:52:40,120 --> 01:52:42,920
Speaker 5: maybe third and five and not be in third and eight,

2251
01:52:43,160 --> 01:52:46,280
Speaker 5: third and nine. So that's the part where I disagree

2252
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:49,360
Speaker 5: with Brian the most because I think he's very anchored

2253
01:52:49,400 --> 01:52:52,680
Speaker 5: to this opinion that because Bama struggles to run it,

2254
01:52:52,760 --> 01:52:53,639
Speaker 5: they have no shot.

2255
01:52:53,760 --> 01:52:56,479
Speaker 2: It's over. They're done. Fools, gold fraud can't do it.

2256
01:52:56,760 --> 01:53:00,360
Speaker 5: Where I think there is a path for Tyson in

2257
01:53:00,360 --> 01:53:03,880
Speaker 5: this elite receiver group. Lots of Brooks broke out against Oklahoma.

2258
01:53:03,920 --> 01:53:05,960
Speaker 5: We know how good Horton and Ryan Williams can be.

2259
01:53:06,200 --> 01:53:07,840
Speaker 5: The tight end Quavis, I think, is one of the

2260
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:12,000
Speaker 5: best pass catchers in college football at that position. I

2261
01:53:12,080 --> 01:53:14,320
Speaker 5: do think there is a path for Bama to win

2262
01:53:14,360 --> 01:53:17,360
Speaker 5: this game without running it. And let's say they do

2263
01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:20,000
Speaker 5: find a little bit of traction in the running game.

2264
01:53:20,280 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 5: Indiana is not going to be playing that. So there

2265
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:25,559
Speaker 5: is an element to this where I think you have

2266
01:53:25,640 --> 01:53:29,559
Speaker 5: to at least give Alabama credit for how good they

2267
01:53:29,560 --> 01:53:31,559
Speaker 5: are in the passing game, where maybe their running game

2268
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:34,280
Speaker 5: isn't as good, but they're so good in the passing

2269
01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:38,320
Speaker 5: game that they can overcompensate and they only need to

2270
01:53:38,360 --> 01:53:40,200
Speaker 5: do a little bit in the running game to keep

2271
01:53:40,240 --> 01:53:42,839
Speaker 5: the Indiana defense or any opponent that they're playing honest.

2272
01:53:43,240 --> 01:53:45,960
Speaker 5: On the other side, I think this defense is really good.

2273
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:46,639
Speaker 2: I think the.

2274
01:53:46,720 --> 01:53:50,080
Speaker 5: Pass rush is not as prolific, but they've got a

2275
01:53:50,120 --> 01:53:53,839
Speaker 5: top five coverage grade. They sacked John mcteers six times,

2276
01:53:54,200 --> 01:53:57,240
Speaker 5: and they can force quarterbacks to hold on for it

2277
01:53:57,360 --> 01:53:59,959
Speaker 5: for too long because of how good and how confusing

2278
01:54:00,040 --> 01:54:00,920
Speaker 5: their own scheme is.

2279
01:54:02,600 --> 01:54:05,280
Speaker 2: Uh Like, just so everybody knows, I would never say

2280
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:09,080
Speaker 2: Alabama has no chance to win this one particular game.

2281
01:54:09,439 --> 01:54:11,720
Speaker 2: I am saying there's no chance they win a championship.

2282
01:54:11,760 --> 01:54:15,240
Speaker 2: There's no way they're going through Indiana, the winner of Oregon,

2283
01:54:15,320 --> 01:54:18,040
Speaker 2: Texas Tech and whoever they would face in the championship.

2284
01:54:18,040 --> 01:54:22,840
Speaker 2: There's no chance. But for one particular game, oh absolutely, like,

2285
01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:25,519
Speaker 2: they absolutely have a chance even without a running game.

2286
01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:27,240
Speaker 2: I just don't think the running game is gonna do

2287
01:54:27,240 --> 01:54:29,559
Speaker 2: a whole lot. They ran for one point one yards

2288
01:54:29,560 --> 01:54:33,280
Speaker 2: per carry against Oklahoma. I don't see they're having great

2289
01:54:33,360 --> 01:54:36,840
Speaker 2: success against against IU. I don't see them doing much

2290
01:54:36,880 --> 01:54:40,080
Speaker 2: at all on the ground. But yeah, of course, in

2291
01:54:40,120 --> 01:54:43,280
Speaker 2: a one game scenario, neutral site, they absolutely have a

2292
01:54:43,320 --> 01:54:45,680
Speaker 2: shot to beat Indiana. I just think this last thing

2293
01:54:45,720 --> 01:54:48,160
Speaker 2: I'll say about it is I think one thing that

2294
01:54:48,240 --> 01:54:51,920
Speaker 2: makes life even harder for Indiana for Alabama when they

2295
01:54:51,920 --> 01:54:55,839
Speaker 2: are the overmatched team in this matchup is what happened

2296
01:54:55,920 --> 01:54:59,240
Speaker 2: against Oklahoma where they had this huge come from behind win.

2297
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,680
Speaker 2: They're down seven team to nothing and they come back

2298
01:55:01,680 --> 01:55:04,760
Speaker 2: and win that game. I think if Indiana has a lead,

2299
01:55:04,800 --> 01:55:07,520
Speaker 2: if they're up, let's say they're up by ten, fourteen

2300
01:55:07,600 --> 01:55:10,760
Speaker 2: in the second half, they're gonna be more than aware

2301
01:55:11,240 --> 01:55:14,440
Speaker 2: of how Alabama came back and won the last game.

2302
01:55:14,600 --> 01:55:17,320
Speaker 2: So they're not gonna let them breathe if IU gets

2303
01:55:17,400 --> 01:55:19,840
Speaker 2: up on them. The players, the coaches, everyone's gonna be

2304
01:55:19,840 --> 01:55:23,240
Speaker 2: well aware, Hey Bama came back last last game. It's

2305
01:55:23,240 --> 01:55:25,720
Speaker 2: not over yet. Like that's gonna make life even more

2306
01:55:25,760 --> 01:55:29,960
Speaker 2: difficult for Alabama. So yeah, I will happily fade them.

2307
01:55:30,040 --> 01:55:32,440
Speaker 2: I just I think they're fugazy. I don't think they

2308
01:55:32,440 --> 01:55:35,840
Speaker 2: have the goods and their formula is sustainable to just

2309
01:55:35,880 --> 01:55:38,879
Speaker 2: write it on out to have win after winning the playoff.

2310
01:55:38,960 --> 01:55:42,760
Speaker 2: I think that the the the magic Carpet ride is

2311
01:55:42,800 --> 01:55:45,440
Speaker 2: coming to an end very soon, is what I think.

2312
01:55:45,480 --> 01:55:47,959
Speaker 2: But hey, we've got rich Oronberger, Penn State All American,

01:57:01,440 --> 01:57:03,600
Speaker 2: All right, we got some picks to make. Let's do it.

2337
01:57:06,400 --> 01:57:09,600
Speaker 1: Rapid fire, alright.

2338
01:57:09,520 --> 01:57:12,080
Speaker 2: Three selections for each of us. The only bad news

2339
01:57:12,120 --> 01:57:15,320
Speaker 2: shared is this brilliant selection of under first quarter, under

2340
01:57:15,360 --> 01:57:18,240
Speaker 2: first half pittneyet Carolina. It's not rapid fire, and it's

2341
01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:20,640
Speaker 2: the light thing, but you look brilliant so far. Can

2342
01:57:20,680 --> 01:57:22,960
Speaker 2: you continue your brilliance with your three picks?

2343
01:57:23,360 --> 01:57:23,520
Speaker 3: Can?

2344
01:57:23,520 --> 01:57:27,920
Speaker 5: I got like a half a bonus credit for nothing?

2345
01:57:28,320 --> 01:57:30,440
Speaker 2: It's already kicked off. You know what I got.

2346
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:32,560
Speaker 5: I got money in my account because I won the

2347
01:57:32,560 --> 01:57:34,040
Speaker 5: bet already. And it looks like this first half on

2348
01:57:34,240 --> 01:57:35,400
Speaker 5: is gonna come up to all right, I'll give you.

2349
01:57:35,440 --> 01:57:38,120
Speaker 5: I'll give you three plays, two of them are gonna

2350
01:57:38,120 --> 01:57:41,440
Speaker 5: happen today, and i'll give you my favorite collegrawall playoff bet,

2351
01:57:41,480 --> 01:57:43,880
Speaker 5: which is gonna come up next week on New Year's Day. First,

2352
01:57:43,920 --> 01:57:45,920
Speaker 5: let's start with the game today one NFL. Let's start

2353
01:57:45,920 --> 01:57:49,000
Speaker 5: with the Chargers team total under twenty and a half.

2354
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:52,720
Speaker 5: If there is one defense that this Chargers offensive line

2355
01:57:52,920 --> 01:57:56,520
Speaker 5: is a terrible matchup for, it is the Houston Texans.

2356
01:57:56,920 --> 01:57:59,839
Speaker 5: Justin Herbert is a warrior man. He's been under duress

2357
01:57:59,840 --> 01:58:03,440
Speaker 5: a season, but this is a really tough situation today.

2358
01:58:03,640 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 5: The Texans, they need the game like blood. The Chargers

2359
01:58:05,960 --> 01:58:07,440
Speaker 5: obviously want to win the West, but they're in the

2360
01:58:07,440 --> 01:58:10,880
Speaker 5: playoffs no matter what. Houston still has some work to do.

2361
01:58:11,000 --> 01:58:13,120
Speaker 5: So I will take the Chargers team total under twenty

2362
01:58:13,120 --> 01:58:15,800
Speaker 5: and a half. We're gonna take Bear Bachmeyer over to

2363
01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:18,680
Speaker 5: eighteen and a half passing yards. Again, this is a

2364
01:58:18,760 --> 01:58:21,160
Speaker 5: very good matchup for Bear coming off the Texas Tech game,

2365
01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:23,240
Speaker 5: which was a bad matchup for him against Georgia Tech.

2366
01:58:23,280 --> 01:58:25,720
Speaker 5: They've given up a ton of passing yards. Dylan Lone

2367
01:58:25,760 --> 01:58:27,080
Speaker 5: are going to Boston College, CJ.

2368
01:58:27,200 --> 01:58:28,200
Speaker 2: Bailey at NC State.

2369
01:58:28,240 --> 01:58:30,560
Speaker 5: Both those guys went off for three hundred plus against

2370
01:58:30,600 --> 01:58:33,879
Speaker 5: his Georgia Tech secondary this year. Noel J Martin Nocion

2371
01:58:33,960 --> 01:58:36,640
Speaker 5: moa for BYU. A lot of passing today for the Kugs,

2372
01:58:36,720 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 5: and I'll go Texas Tech plus one and a half

2373
01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:39,160
Speaker 5: against Oregon.

2374
01:58:39,440 --> 01:58:41,120
Speaker 2: I think the wrong team's favored in this game.

2375
01:58:41,160 --> 01:58:43,839
Speaker 5: I think Texas Tech is the nastiest defense in college football,

2376
01:58:43,840 --> 01:58:45,480
Speaker 5: and I think they are going to make life miserable

2377
01:58:45,520 --> 01:58:47,240
Speaker 5: for Dante More in the Orange Bowl.

2378
01:58:47,720 --> 01:58:50,640
Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the NFL first, and then

2379
01:58:50,640 --> 01:58:54,360
Speaker 4: we're gonna finish with two football games played in baseball stadiums.

2380
01:58:55,120 --> 01:58:59,840
Speaker 4: Let's go to Green Bay against the Baltimore Ravens. Thirty

2381
01:58:59,880 --> 01:59:02,760
Speaker 4: eight and a half is the total potentially two backup

2382
01:59:02,840 --> 01:59:07,560
Speaker 4: quarterbacks starting these games. Look, the Ravens defense isn't great.

2383
01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:11,000
Speaker 4: Micah Parsons is out for the Green Bay Packers, but

2384
01:59:11,080 --> 01:59:12,800
Speaker 4: I think this is gonna be a low scoring game.

2385
01:59:12,840 --> 01:59:14,040
Speaker 3: Plus weathers in play.

2386
01:59:14,080 --> 01:59:17,920
Speaker 4: Here give me under the thirty eight and a half

2387
01:59:18,280 --> 01:59:22,240
Speaker 4: Penn State Clemson Pinstripe Bowl. It's being played in New York.

2388
01:59:22,400 --> 01:59:25,720
Speaker 4: It's gonna be a heavy Penn State crowd. I like

2389
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:28,360
Speaker 4: the Nitney Lions in this game. So give me the points.

2390
01:59:28,400 --> 01:59:31,080
Speaker 4: I'll take the two and a half. I'm on Penn

2391
01:59:31,120 --> 01:59:36,600
Speaker 4: State side. All right, Army, Yukon Armies favored eight and

2392
01:59:36,640 --> 01:59:40,480
Speaker 4: a half. Tough season for Yukon Fenway Bowl. You know

2393
01:59:40,520 --> 01:59:42,360
Speaker 4: there's gonna be a lot of Yukon fence, but I

2394
01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:45,360
Speaker 4: don't think that defense can stop Army's offense.

2395
01:59:45,800 --> 01:59:48,320
Speaker 3: Give me Army favored by eight and a half.

2396
01:59:48,920 --> 01:59:53,600
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, let me start it off with fading Alabama.

2397
01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:58,480
Speaker 2: Give me IU minus seven. Look, I think honestly, if

2398
01:59:58,480 --> 02:00:02,920
Speaker 2: we put Alabama in like Vanderbilt uniforms, no running game, week,

2399
02:00:02,960 --> 02:00:06,280
Speaker 2: pass rush, inconsistent quarterback play, I think I you would

2400
02:00:06,280 --> 02:00:08,600
Speaker 2: be a bigger favorite. I think the brand name of

2401
02:00:08,680 --> 02:00:12,600
Speaker 2: Alabama is factoring into how some people are betting this game.

2402
02:00:12,720 --> 02:00:15,760
Speaker 2: Not everybody, but some people. So I like IU minus seven.

2403
02:00:16,480 --> 02:00:18,880
Speaker 2: Give me Miami, give me the you give me the points,

2404
02:00:18,880 --> 02:00:20,160
Speaker 2: give me, give me, give me, give me. Give me

2405
02:00:20,240 --> 02:00:22,440
Speaker 2: nine and a half against Ohio State. I think they

2406
02:00:22,440 --> 02:00:25,200
Speaker 2: have the pass rush to make life miserable for Julian

2407
02:00:25,320 --> 02:00:27,800
Speaker 2: saying I like getting points and I'm rolling with Kirby

2408
02:00:27,800 --> 02:00:29,960
Speaker 2: Smart and the dogs. I just think they've got the good,

2409
02:00:30,080 --> 02:00:32,360
Speaker 2: scrappy tough, give me minus six and a half for

2410
02:00:32,440 --> 02:00:32,880
Speaker 2: the Dogs.
