00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: Now that we have saved the best for last, and

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: that would be Pack twelve discussion, I shouldn't say that

25
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: because we're also talking Notre Dame. Uh and is that

26
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: what we're doing. We're doing that right. We are doing

27
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 2: our teams last Pack twelve and Notre Dame, which, if

28
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: you're listening to this right now, get your grandparents in

29
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: the room, okay, and this is.

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: Just fu Okay, Grandpa, grab pop it the song. Verbal

31
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: boys are going to talk Notre Day. Stop it, Grandpa.

32
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: I'm yelling. The neighbors are coming out of their homes here, Grandpa.

33
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm excited to do this show. By the way, Yeah,

34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,480
Speaker 1: I'm not going to yell breaking news to save my

35
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: voice my energy for the remainder of this show. But

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: people are going to be listening to this show, and

37
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: there are going to be five college football games in

38
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: the books already. You're going to hear this show on

39
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: a Sunday, which means that I think we need to

40
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: preemptively do some game recaps. Maybe once we get into

41
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: our Stanford preview, we can do that because they're playing

42
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: a game in did I see Australia, Sydney Australia. They

43
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: already did time, Oh already played Stanford Rice. How about

44
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: that one Oregon State, Colorado State hoo to funk wowsa,

45
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,080
Speaker 1: that's right. Another just houdah I didn't see that coming before.

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: At forty thousand strong at Alliance Stadium in Sydney, Australia, Allians. Yeah, yeah,

47
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: what do we call these games? By the way, we

48
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: had someone email us or tweet us asking what the

49
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: proper nomenclature is for these early season games? Are they

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,639
Speaker 1: appetizer games? Appartifs they're snacks? Sometimes you see on menu

51
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: that there's snacks, appetizers, entree and the snacks are just

52
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: like you know, deviled eggs or something that you wouldn't

53
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: fully hall and appetizer just a bite like a finger food. Yeah,

54
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: it's the scene in something about I'm just actually I'm

55
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 1: not going to go there, Ty, I'm just not doing

56
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: go there because it's a family program.

57
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: We have grandparents listening. That's right, Grandpa, And yeah, it

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: just snacks, the snacks.

59
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: Well, if there are any Australian for ballers who will

60
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: be there, they're already there. Tweet us let us know.

61
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: We actually do have a fair amount of Australian for

62
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: ballers who listen to the program, So send us pictures

63
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: and tweets and all that fun stuff. If you were

64
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: at the football game last night between Stanford and UH

65
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 1: and Rice.

66
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: What a fight between Connor McGregor and Floyd anyway, Holy Holy,

67
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: they're not going to be able to show that one again.

68
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: Very good, very good. All right, just making sure we

69
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: cover all our base. Thank you. We do have a

70
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: new home for our pickam pool. Shortly after we did

71
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: the show on Wednesday, we were able to find a solution.

72
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: Go to our web page, look at the posting for

73
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: this particular episode. Look on Twitter, look on Facebook. The

74
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: new link for the pick and Pool could be found there.

75
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: Get in if you haven't already. People who got in

76
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: the old Yahoo one. We're not going to be keeping tabs.

77
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: Feel free to pick your games in there if you

78
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 1: so desire. We will not be keeping tabs in that one.

79
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: The official one has been moved elsewhere, So go to

80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: the website check it out again. We're on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,

Speaker 1: all the hotspots. You can find all the information you

82
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: need right there. Great job, Ty. So as you eluded Dan,

83
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: We've got one conference left. We've got one big independent

84
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: team left, Dan. That conference. That conference is the PAC twelve. Yep,

85
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: that an independent team is you Mass. I would like

86
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: to start in the south and go north. It can

87
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: be our college football Nile River. Here, you will close

88
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: out with Oregon and No Tree Dame. Okay, As we

89
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: start in the South, I think it's fairly obvious that

90
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: the team everyone's got their eye on is the USC Trojans, right.

91
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: I think that's correct USC ten and three a year ago. Obviously,

92
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: it starts with your twenty eighteen first overall draft choice,

93
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald, Dan crank up that dang hype machine. Yeah,

94
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: that train is a chuggin. If you didn't already know

95
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: every other miscellaneous fact about Sam Darnold, maybe about his

96
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 1: grandfather being the Marlborough Man, or the fact that he

97
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: played multiple sports in high school, any of that kind

98
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: of stuff. If you didn't know it, you will soon.

99
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: Here though, is the coolest if you didn't see it,

100
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: we tweeted it. He is co hosting a podcast with

101
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: our friend Yogi Roth. The season of Sam much better

102
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: than the summer of Sam. I don't have anything to

103
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,479
Speaker 1: add about him on the field. His numbers last were

104
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: remarkably consistent for what a red shirt freshman whatever he was. Yes,

105
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: if you watched him, he's got a presence. There's a

106
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 1: ton of reason to be excited, a ton of reason

107
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 1: to think that he's really special. Do you have anything

108
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: to add beyond that.

109
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: As it relates to Sam Donald specifically, you know that

110
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 2: he has the capability of being special. The thing that

111
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: will affect Sam Donald though, and what his season looks like,

112
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: is replacing a couple starters on the line that moved

113
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: on to the NFL, replacing two big receivers and Juju Smith,

114
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 2: Schuster and Darius Rogers, and the familiarity is. It's going

115
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: to take a little bit of time, but he has

116
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: a ton of young, speedy talent to work with, talent.

117
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: The guys are stepping up because it's USC. I do

118
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: worry about the line. I do worry about who he's

119
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: throwing to. I like that he's got Ronald Jones back.

120
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: That should provide USC with some big playability on the ground. Defensively,

121
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: there's a little turnover at all three levels of their defense,

122
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: but there is a ton of talent coming back there

123
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: as well. I thought about going doodle alert on Cam

124
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: Smith because he's weirdly like Anonymous despite being a star

125
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. Yeah, I mean, the injuries have hurt, yeah,

126
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: but I'm excited about the potential for this defense with

127
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: some new guys stepping up again. You'll lose guys like

128
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: Adorri Jackson and there are some others, but I still

129
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: feel pretty good as a whole.

130
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you nailed it. Rasheem Green is legitimately

131
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: a Pac twelve star. Along the defensive line, very good.

132
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: I think he led he All returning tacklers are led

133
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: by Rasheem Green. Yes, you're right. Cam Smith is very good.

134
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 2: Port Augustin is probably their best pass rushing option. They've

135
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: recruited very well in the secondary. Really, if there is

136
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 2: a weakness to this USC team, I think it is

137
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: the speed. And that is not to say that there's

138
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: not talents, which there very clearly is, and I'm not

139
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 2: worried that they're going to be at all a letdown,

140
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: but it is working in new receivers and perhaps the

141
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: back end. They gave up some big plays last year,

142
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: and there is a little bit of inexperience that could

143
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: be a little bit concerning. Because the level of quarterbacking

144
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 2: in the Pac twelve is pretty high, if not the

145
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: highest in the country. So if you're going to nitpick,

146
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: those are small issues because the talent is so high

147
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: in LA and there's consistency along the coaching staff, and

148
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 2: this is you know, it's crazy to say, given what

149
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 2: we saw with Sark and before that Lane Kiffin. This

150
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: is Clay Helton's team. He has a good staff in there.

151
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: So USC is probably the team I'm worried about the least.

152
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,559
Speaker 2: Other than that schedule without a bye week, the.

153
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: Schedule's kind of right in that goldilocks zone. If you're

154
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: looking to make a title run. It's not too easy,

155
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 1: not too ridiculous. Home against Texas at Notre Dame the

156
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: non conference. Yeah, and that Texas is a week after Stanford,

157
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: right correct. Tougher games not impossible, good non conference opponents

158
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: home against Stanford. Week two, huge game home against Utah

159
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: home I use air quotes here against Ucla. Those might

160
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: be their toughest conference games.

161
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 2: I have the Wazoo game circled Wazoo could be interesting

162
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: as well.

163
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 1: Friday night game. I like that they get Stanford early,

164
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: but the road schedule, look God, Cal at Cal at Wazoo,

165
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: the Friday night game at ASU at Colorado the week

166
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 1: before you s like, could be a bit of a sleeper.

167
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: But buying large, this is pretty damn workable.

168
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's fine. They missed Washington and organ as

169
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,839
Speaker 2: we know, and yeah, it's fine. I just the no

170
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,079
Speaker 2: bye week feels like a trip up. They have the

171
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: non buffer situations with UH with Stanford, Texas and Utah

172
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: going and going to Notre Dame. That's that's the sort

173
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 2: of the circle area that I have. But yeah, this

174
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: is this is a team that has very little in

175
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 2: the way of worries, and that Wazoo game is a

176
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 2: little bit interesting also because Wazoo's weakness, and we'll get

177
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 2: to it, is the secondary most likely, and USC has newer,

178
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: greener receivers, and Wazoo has all sorts of great weapons

179
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 2: on the outside, and USC has you know, some guys

180
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 2: to work in in their own secondary. So fun matchup.

181
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: USC goes eleven and one in the regular season and

182
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: they lose to Texas in Week three. Whoa, that's my prediction.

183
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 2: I have eleven and one losing to either Wazoo or Utah.

184
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 2: I could see both of those. But how do you

185
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: solve a problem like Utah if you're USC. I think

186
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: they've lost one two of the last three years to

187
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 2: the Utes. Kyle Whittingham, I've never numbered out that problem.

188
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: I've got Utah going seven and five this year, which

189
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: means inevitably they'll go nine and three.

190
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: Yep, every year they outperform every year. I've got a

191
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: loss to Texas here. I think USC makes the Pac

192
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,599
Speaker 1: twelve Championship. I will decide at the end of the

193
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: show whether or not they're going to beat Washington in

194
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: that game.

195
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 2: May I say on USC briefly, please? How does USC

196
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 2: compare in your mind to other teams that are regarded

197
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: in a similar way nationally? So Florida State, Clemson, Alabama,

198
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 2: Ohio State. I don't know if I'm forgetting Oklahoma.

199
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: Perhaps. I think I feel better about pretty much all

200
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: of those teams, with the exception of Clemson. And it

201
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 1: may have very little to do with actual talent and

202
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: more to do with the fact that USC always burns

203
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: us when we have expectations. Not just us, everybody, everybody,

204
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: not just us, right, I think that's right.

205
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 2: I think I like USC more than Oklahoma, agreed, all

206
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 2: things equal. I like the talent that USC has on

207
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: defense more so than what Oklahoma has. And I like

208
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: I love Ronald Jones. We even mentioned that love Ronald Jones,

209
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 2: and I think I like them. I like them better

210
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: than Clemson as well. And I really do like Clemson,

211
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 2: So that's where I'm drawing my line. I think USC

212
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,439
Speaker 2: is about the third or fourth best team in the country.

213
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 1: Moving on, let's go to Colorado. Dan ten and four, Okay,

214
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: ten and four a year ago came a bit out

215
00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: of nowhere. Mike McIntyre Coach of the Year. Colorado just

216
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: went gangbusters. It was a great season this year. We've

217
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: got Philip Lindsay coming back at running back very nearly

218
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: mydod alert very nearly, twelve hundred yards, sixteen touchdowns. Also,

219
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: Shay Fields coming back at wide out, big play guy

220
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: ninety six targets, nine touchdowns a year ago. I look

221
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 1: on defense, though, and I look at the fact that

222
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: so many defensive playmakers have now left the program. Jim

223
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: Levitt included, Yes, I look at sef olufou leaving in

224
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: the veteran presence he brought to the offense as a

225
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: bit of an issue. They've got some turnover on both lines.

226
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: The schedule is just kind of okay. It feels like

227
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: a necessary step back. A program headed in the right direction,

228
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 1: but a necessary step back by default. I'll go seven

229
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: to five.

230
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 2: Pretty good schedule, Colorado, I would add it, and I

231
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: think all your points are correct. They lose a ton

232
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: on defense. We saw the guys in the secondary get drafted.

233
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:08,320
Speaker 2: How good they were for Jim Levitt up front, And yeah,

234
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: the safe of loofoul thing was a big deal, although

235
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 2: he seemed to like die in the third quarter of

236
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,599
Speaker 2: every other game, so they are used to playing with

237
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 2: Adam Steven Montes did a good job in relief mostly

238
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 2: and schedule wise, the non conference isn't bad. They have

239
00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: a neutral sych game against Colorado. They traveled to UCLA,

240
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: which Ucla has a stupid talented defense, but you know,

241
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: TBD on offense under Jedfish and the Rose Bowls not

242
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: the most difficult place to play at Oregon State at Wazoo,

243
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 2: at Arizona.

244
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: State at Utah.

245
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 2: So the fact that they get USC at home, they

246
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 2: get Washington at home, and they miss Oregon. Who I mean,

247
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 2: Oregon's going to be okay. They're nothing special, but they

248
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: have the capability to look good at times. So a

249
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 2: decent enough schedule I think. I think seven five, eight

250
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 2: and four, which honestly tie again where Colorado was oh

251
00:13:59,000 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: my god years ago.

252
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: I would take that in a heartbeat.

253
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 2: Seven and five coming after huge losses on one side

254
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 2: of the ball.

255
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: Wow. Great, cool, and you never know too. I mean,

256
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 1: there really is some skill talent that's still in Colorado.

257
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: It's not like the cover's totally bare. Oh. Steven Montez,

258
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, he looked pretty good in limited action

259
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: last year around mid season when he had a fill in.

260
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: I thought he was doing a half eason job. Yeah.

261
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: And Mike McIntyre, you know Rocky off season four. I

262
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 2: mean not for him for much more important people, but

263
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: off field stuff aside, done a really good job on

264
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: field stuff. I'm saying seven and five were you're saying

265
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: seven and five, I'm gonna say one, two, three, four, five, six,

266
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say.

267
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: It in four. Wow. Okay, Well, I hope so like Colorado,

268
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: I hope so. Yeah, Let's go to Utah. Staying in

269
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 1: the Southern Division of the PAC twelve. Utah went nine

270
00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: to four a year ago. Dan Kyle Whittingham announced a

271
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: few days ago that he's going to give the keys

272
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 1: to sophomore Tyler Huntley at quarterback, which was a bit

273
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: of a surprise that he didn't announce senior Troy Williams.

274
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: They do, of course, lose Joe Williams their running back

275
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: who went to the forty nine ers, But it'll be

276
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: a new look now for Utah. They also have a

277
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator, Troy Taylor, who wants to run more

278
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: of an up tempo passing attack. I'm excited about their defense.

279
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: I think their defense will be able to harass and

280
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: disrupt opposing quarterbacks. But can we get that hot coal

281
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 1: sound out again that we used in our SEC preview

282
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: when we're talking about LSU, Can we get that out?

283
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: Can we talk about Kyle Whittingham and how well he'd

284
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: fare in that situation.

285
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 2: Among PAC twelve head coaches, Moro would be gone instantly. Yeah,

286
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: I think rich trod and Todd Graham gone instantly. Clay

287
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: Helton might be alright. Whittingham would be gangbuster. Yeah, he

288
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 2: wouldn't even would be okay, not great. You know who

289
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: I think would do pretty well? One hundred yards of

290
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: burning hot, scalding colds, scalding Coles, Garry Anderson. I feel

291
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: like there's a discipline sleeper.

292
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to be disciplined to coach at Oregon State. Yeah.

293
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: Here here is Utah's schedule. They could very easily start

294
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: four to oh play North Dakota on the road at

295
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: BYU in the Holy War. Always a tough game, but

296
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: they could win that game San Jose State and then

297
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: at Arizona, right, but then there's a bye and then

298
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: things get weird. Stanford at USC, Arizona State at Oregon, Ucla,

299
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: Wazoo at Washington, and they finish up with Colorado. That's

300
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 1: a stretch, man, That is a stretch to close out

301
00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: your college football season.

302
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 2: They look like, as you said, they look like a

303
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 2: seven and five team that will somehow go eight and four,

304
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 2: nine to three, just because the strength of that The

305
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 2: defensive front is very real, even without Hunter Dimmick, who

306
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 2: basically tackled everybody and owned every backfield last year, in

307
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 2: the last couple of years.

308
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: But lolatulle or lodu leile loll lotulele. I prefer lod

309
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: to leile loll.

310
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 2: I mean, could you imagine if loll lotulele played a

311
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: lol volun not be fun for me so much alliteration.

312
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: But defensively, they're going to be very good.

313
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 2: A little bit worried about the secondary, but utfront they

314
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: are in a very dominant space. Worried about the offensive

315
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 2: line to somewhat of an extent, and quarterback is a

316
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: big mystery to me. Troy Taylor, as you mentioned, comes

317
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 2: over from Eastern Washington where they had a wide open

318
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 2: passing attack. And here's the thing not to discount as well,

319
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 2: even with as much turnover as as there is on offense,

320
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: Utah ads Darren Carrington, who has been a dominant pack

321
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,160
Speaker 2: twelve received when he is on the field. We saw

322
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 2: him light up Florida State and Stanford. He shows up

323
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: for big games. So he will be making the trip

324
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: back to Oddson after being kicked off the team, and

325
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: that's a good place to start if you are He's

326
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: a sophomore, right Huntley. Yeah, it's a good place to

327
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: start with a grad transferred star receiver available to you. So, yes,

328
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,040
Speaker 2: I like Utah. This is just another Utah team. That's

329
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: a very obvious statement, but I think people understand what

330
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say.

331
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 1: I hope they can accomplish a little bit more of

332
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: an up tempo passing attack.

333
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 2: I think that'd be a neat look for Utah. Me

334
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 2: huge help to the defense big time. Well if it succeeds.

335
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: If it succeeds, yeah, and if they're not going three

336
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: and out more often than they usually would, and then yes, yeah,

337
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: but we'll see. Okay, Ucla they went four and eight,

338
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: part of the four and eight club from a year ago.

339
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,919
Speaker 1: You know, the club, ty not really not a grouping

340
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: of teams that people are concerned about with that record.

341
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, he was nicked up. His sophomore year did

342
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: not go as well as it was supposed to. He's

343
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: healed up though, he's back this year. And Dan very

344
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 1: nearly a Fantasy Things selection was Josh we selected, you

345
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: selected Josh Rosen in his hot takes late. Yeah, Josh

346
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: Rosen on his third offensive coordinator, also something that we

347
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: very closely considered.

348
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, absolutely, Josh Rosen's in a good place. I'm

349
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: the line was pretty atrocious last year, which is not

350
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 2: a good sign. No real pass catcher stepped up, not

351
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: a great sign. There's talent there. They couldn't run the

352
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: ball at all. So so Jamaba will be the guy again.

353
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 2: I don't think last year was his fault. They were

354
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 2: just incredibly inefficient offensively, particularly or most notably after Josh

355
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 2: Rosen went down. But here is the wonderful news, Tye.

356
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: And this is I say this with earnest nature. This

357
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: defense is stupid talented.

358
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Tom scrap Bradley, Tom Scrapradley, Yeah, Tom scrap Bradley.

359
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 2: They lose a couple of you literal huge places along

360
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 2: the line, but they've recruited incredibly where while they're including

361
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: the number one overall recruit in the country Phillips. Yeah,

362
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 2: so he should at least situationally wreak havoc at times.

363
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 2: And I think they got the number one corner in

364
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: the country. And Darnay Holmes, who if you watched him play,

365
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: is sort of like fly paper like that. Well, he's

366
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,239
Speaker 2: stuck on you there it is.

367
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 1: That's that.

368
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 2: And they're just across the board. They've rec you know,

369
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 2: they lose pieces in the secondary, and they bring in

370
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 2: four more. Kenny Young is as good a middle linebacker

371
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,959
Speaker 2: perhaps the side of a Zeem Victor in the conference. There,

372
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: they're just they're gonna lie if the offense does anything.

373
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: Tie.

374
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is going to be a top twelve defense

375
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 2: in the country.

376
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: You would think that Jed Fish could build a passing

377
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: attack with Josh Rosen, You would think, you know, I mean,

378
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: he did it with Jake Rudoc at Michigan. He should

379
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,360
Speaker 1: be able to do it with Josh Rosen, a demonstrably

380
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,959
Speaker 1: better quarterback at UCLA. He's got an experienced group of

381
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,879
Speaker 1: wide outs, Darren Andrews, Jordan Lasley. But who's good? Who's good?

382
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: Are any of them? I don't know. They're hair old,

383
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: experience roots, they're experienced. Okay. He's got a running game

384
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: that needs to get a lot better. And this is

385
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: something that we can't just pan over. They were terrible

386
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 1: at running the football, real real bad. A lot returning

387
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: at running back, a lot returning along the offensive line.

388
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 1: They need to figure that out.

389
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,240
Speaker 2: I got a grad transfer in from Miami, so they're

390
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 2: they're trying, they're shoring up. Oh here's the other thing, Ty,

391
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 2: we got to pour out. I don't know, are you

392
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 2: drinking anything?

393
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: I am not.

394
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,000
Speaker 2: I've got water, just had some. I had some lemon

395
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: ginger tea And that's not a good thing to pour out.

396
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 2: But Jet Fish going to UCLA to run their offense

397
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,360
Speaker 2: means the end of the Michigan Ohio State photoshop War

398
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 2: between Jet oh Smith and Wow. A lot of good

399
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: men were lost tie in the photoshop War of six

400
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, twenty fifteen, and I don't know who won

401
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 2: that war. But I know who lost that war, and

402
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 2: that was America. It was an embarrassment for everybody.

403
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: We've got two teams left in the Pac twelve seuth,

404
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: both of the Arizona schools. Dan, run me through your

405
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: favorite Arizona school.

406
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: I guess Arizona State. The quarterback situation is a little

407
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: bit more settled. Defensively, they've got to be better and healthier.

408
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 2: They bring back I think the defense. Yeah, the defense

409
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 2: brings back a good amount of guys. They just struggled

410
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: last year. So that's one of the experience. Is it good,

411
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 2: That's one of those questions. But Arizona State as playmakers.

412
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 2: They have one of the best receivers in the conference

413
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: in Nikhil Harry. He is a big body and catches

414
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: a lot, has a very large catching radius. And if

415
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,439
Speaker 2: they can figure out a quarterback, I don't know, if

416
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 2: they haven't named a quarterback at the time of this recording,

417
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 2: it's gonna be Blake Barnett or Manny Wilkins.

418
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: Right now, it looks more like Manny Wilkins.

419
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: Okay, So he looks to be the option, a more

420
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: dual threat option perhaps for ASU. So I'm going to

421
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 2: go with that. They have a new defensive coordinator and

422
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: Phil Bennett who comes over from Baylor, new offensive coordinator

423
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: comes over from Alabama, and Billy Napier at least a

424
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 2: co offensive coordinator. So talent wise, I think Arizona State

425
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,359
Speaker 2: is in a better place quarterback place, In terms of

426
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: passing the ball down field, I think they're in a

427
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 2: better place. And line play, especially on defense, certainly isn't

428
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 2: a better place. So I am with ASU. The schedule

429
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 2: doesn't seem terrible. There's another shootout at Texas Tech. Last

430
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:42,400
Speaker 2: year was in Tempe, but the schedule seems all right enough.

431
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 2: It just seems mixed to me. So ASU has nothing

432
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 2: to blame whatever happens in twenty seventeen. They have nothing

433
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 2: to blame except just on themselves.

434
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: I think the overriding theme for ASU is that there's

435
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 1: a ton of potential on that team and it's all

436
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,479
Speaker 1: very young. They were so beat up last year. Beat up.

437
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: Twenty seventeen is not going to be the year they

438
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: quote unquote turn it around. They might build for twenty

439
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: eighteen this season. I think that's Lane Kiffin, well for

440
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, for Chim Kelly. Who knows where the rumors

441
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: take US, Yeah, but I don't think this is their

442
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: year to be world beaters. But I like the talent.

443
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: There is talent there which is exciting. The other school

444
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: in the Pac Twell South would be Arizona Dan. They

445
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: went three to nine last year. I like Nick Wilson

446
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 1: at running back. I like their running game. I don't

447
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,640
Speaker 1: like anything in their defensive front seven because they lose

448
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,639
Speaker 1: a ton and I am not feeling very optimistic about

449
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: the direction of this program now under Rich Rodriguez, I

450
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: really liked and I think I still like the higher

451
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 1: of Marceliates to sort of overhaul the defense after they

452
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:53,879
Speaker 1: parted ways with Jeff Castile.

453
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: Who of course ran his three three five Marcelliates running

454
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: more of a nickel four two five type look a

455
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: hybrid type defense. It was a mess last year, it

456
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 2: really was, and getting talented Tucson has been an issue.

457
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:10,400
Speaker 2: Figuring out identity on both sides of the ball has

458
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 2: been an issue. And when you look at the backfield

459
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 2: combinations that they have available to them, so that would

460
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,679
Speaker 2: be either Brandon Dawkins or Khalil Tait or the thirty

461
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 2: seven year old minor league baseball player who has come

462
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,199
Speaker 2: in any combination of at least those first two guys

463
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 2: and Nick Wilson. I don't know if you remember JJ

464
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 2: Taylor from last year. Yeah, of course played, and yeah

465
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 2: in Nick Wilson instead, little guy and is so quick,

466
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: the tiny little burst that he has, he gets from

467
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 2: the backfield to the second level and what he feels

468
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: like like what's the name of the Dalson warping in

469
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: Street Fighter too, He's just warping to the second level

470
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,639
Speaker 2: and he got beat up because he is sort of tiny.

471
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: But when he is operating, he is one of the

472
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: more fun players to watch in this conference. But the

473
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 2: problem is literally everything else. They feel like team like

474
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 2: they should be running like the veer or the triple

475
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 2: option or something and just steer into you a unique look,

476
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 2: and I just it's it's gonna be another long year.

477
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: I fear in Tucson. Not optimistic in Tucson. No, ok

478
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 1: maybe they get to four or five wins. I don't know, Dann.

479
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 1: Let's go North. Okay, are you seeing a loss on

480
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: the Husky schedule this year? Washington? You didn't last year?

481
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: Do I see a loss? Yeah?

482
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 2: Probably a loss. I'm not sure I do really well

483
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 2: listen schedule wise, No, sc right during the regular season. Right,

484
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 2: who else do they miss in the South? I think

485
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 2: maybe one of the Arizona. Yeah, they don't play Arizona. Okay,

486
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: that's fine.

487
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 1: Talk about a great, great success story from last year.

488
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,439
Speaker 1: They won eleven and one in the regular season. They

489
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,119
Speaker 1: lost at home to usc but they still made the

490
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: Pac twelve championship game. They clobbered Colorado by thirty one,

491
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: won the conference. Then they go on they play Alabama

492
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 1: and the College Football Playoff. They lost by seventeen. But

493
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:07,680
Speaker 1: as a whole fair to say Washington was still underrated

494
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 1: in that they weren't taken seriously the whole way through.

495
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,960
Speaker 1: We got a couple weeks out from the playoff and

496
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 1: people at least here on the East Coast were trying

497
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: to find wayte to doubt Washington.

498
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 2: And not their fault either. Not there if everybody they

499
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: played had bad years, so they put seventy on everybody.

500
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:26,439
Speaker 1: Maybe that's just my team. Now as we turned the

501
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: calendar to twenty seventeen, Look, there is virtually no reason

502
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: to doubt this offense. Everybody is back outside John Ross.

503
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: They did struggle once the talent level got higher. On defense,

504
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 2: they did not throw the ball at all well against Colorado,

505
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 2: which did certainly had NFL talent in the secondary. They

506
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 2: didn't do all that much against USC, and they the

507
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 2: offense struggled a ton upfront, especially against Alabama, which means

508
00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,439
Speaker 2: they can go eleven and one again, he's without a

509
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 2: doubt easily. But I don't know that they've gotten so

510
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 2: much better on offense that they can they can overcome

511
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 2: when they have to play Ohio State or Clemson or

512
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 2: Florida State or even USC in the Pac twelve Championship

513
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,239
Speaker 2: game like that, to me is still very much an

514
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 2: issue that it's just going to take a little bit

515
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 2: more time to address. But here's the good news. Tie,

516
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 2: here's the outstanding news. For as glitchy as the numbers

517
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 2: that Jake Browning put up, certainly with the help of

518
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: John Ross, but Jake Browning is one of the best

519
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 2: five quarterbacks in the country, if not higher. This team

520
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 2: was led by its defense and that's what came to

521
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,440
Speaker 2: play against everybody, and the fact that they do lose

522
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 2: a ton of key pees in the secondary is concerning.

523
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 2: But Taylor rap should step right in at safety and

524
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: be outstanding. We saw him come on late. They get

525
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: Azee Victor back who decided to come back after injury,

526
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 2: and they have I think, without a doubt, the best

527
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: inside defensive line duo in the conference through the Yeah, yeah,

528
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 2: vide Vea and Greg Gaines are as good a duo

529
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:03,520
Speaker 2: as there is. So they're in a fantastic place. They

530
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 2: need to sort of figure out pass rushers. But I

531
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 2: love Pete is it Quitkowski something like that, the defensive

532
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: coordinator who followed Chris Peterson from Boise. Yeah, it's outside

533
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: of you know, the UCLA game and traveling to Stanford.

534
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 2: Their road schedule is nothing because even going to Stanford,

535
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 2: that's not a difficult place to play. It's not a

536
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: hornet's nest as you like to say. So schedule is wonderful.

537
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: Offense is loaded, front seven is loaded. Secondary has has

538
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: some questions, a lot to replace back there. But yeah,

539
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 1: the strength is a schedule. You got I think only

540
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 1: one losable game at Stanford.

541
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 2: Ty stop me. When we get to a team you're

542
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: positive we'll score twenty points against Washington Okay, yep, at Rutgers, Montana,

543
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: Fresno State at Colorado, Okay, just waiting there, at Oregon State,

544
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 2: cal No, Okay, at Arizona State UCLA.

545
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: Maybe, Okay, maybe, so.

546
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: It took to Halloween to get to maybe a team

547
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: scoring twenty points.

548
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, it's.

549
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: A good schedule again at Stanford, Utah Wazoo. So yeah,

550
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: it's a very good schedule. I am gonna go twelve

551
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 2: and ohero regular season. I don't know what happens when

552
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: they play USC in the Pac twelve championship game. I'm

553
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: inclined to go Washington at first glance, and I think

554
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,920
Speaker 2: maybe I'll stick with that. I could be swayed from

555
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: that position, but I'm pretty high in this team. I

556
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 2: like the fact that they have so much coming back

557
00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: on offense, and I still feel really good about about

558
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 2: their defense. With the schedule that they've got before them,

559
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 2: I don't feel like there are a whole lot of

560
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 2: teams in there that can burn them through the air.

561
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 2: I feel have them losing to either UCLA or on

562
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 2: the road against Stanford.

563
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I could see that. No USC on there though,

564
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 1: That's that's a big thing. I'm high on Washington right now,

565
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: one of my four playoff teams. Cool, let's go to Stanford.

566
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:58,720
Speaker 1: Talk to me about Stanley. Actually, you know what, so

567
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: this show again go on up went it's it's Sunday morning.

568
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what a weekend. But there's still time

569
00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: left before work. Stanford will be one to know by

570
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: the time people hear this. So off off the cuff.

571
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: This is not prescripted. God, I want them to lose.

572
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: Now off the cuff. Yeah, let's record record a game recap? Okay, sure, sure?

573
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: Games in Australia. Three two Dan? You know on Saturday

574
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 1: night or should I say Sunday morning? Down under? M

575
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 1: H Stanford? Uh thirty eight? Rice ten Dan, really nice

576
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 1: Stanford performance.

577
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 2: I reckon It was a croc plotting down on that gest.

578
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: Do they say reckon in Australia? I think so? I know.

579
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 1: I know they call it Australia. I know that from

580
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: the Foster's commercials when they said Australian for beer, right,

581
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: But I'm terrible at doing accents, so I'm not gonna try.

582
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,600
Speaker 2: I think it's you. You replace the letter I with

583
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:06,240
Speaker 2: oh I. Oh that's where they're like, you call the

584
00:32:06,280 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 2: add a noife.

585
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: Humhmm. Yeah. I'm very bad at impressions. Can I be

586
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: real with you for a second here, please, This is

587
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: a real place, tie for real people. It's a little

588
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: embarrassing to emit this before tens of thousands of people,

589
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: But I believe that your raging, perpetual throbbing Stanford boner

590
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: is officially contagious. How you getting a whiff? I don't

591
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:33,880
Speaker 1: know how I caught it from you? Oh? Man? I

592
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: can you catch it from an Can you catch it

593
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 1: from a handshake? Ty? You can catch it from a handy? Absolutely?

594
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: No, no handshake? Different? Oh different, different thing? Yeah, it flies,

595
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: tie it flies, man. I am in on the Cardinal

596
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: this year. I am all in. What has you lathered up?

597
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:56,520
Speaker 1: First off? I love the fact that they've got an identity. Okay,

598
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna beat you up. They're gonna pound it down

599
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: your throat. We're gonna set up play action and they're

600
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: just gonna play defense, and they're gonna find a way

601
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: to win nine or ten games. I love their defense

602
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: this year. They're gonna be so difficult to move the

603
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 1: football against up front. I'm a little worried, but they're

604
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: tough to move the football against in the back seven

605
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 1: at a minimum.

606
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is all reasonable. I'm myself. I'm very high

607
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 2: on Stanford. It mostly has to do with the defense.

608
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: I think offensively, they'll be fine, but they may have

609
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: the best linebacking corps in the conference unless you really

610
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 2: believe in USC, and that's fine too, I'll accept that answer.

611
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: Their secondary looks incredible. The offensive line is ridiculously deep,

612
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 2: I know, a shocker to everybody. Bryce Love, as you mentioned,

613
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: should be very good. You won't be Christian McCaffrey, but

614
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 2: very few people are. If it's not Keller christ who's

615
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 2: coming back from an injury, it'll be one of two

616
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 2: blue chips waiting in the wings. The red shirt freshman's

617
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 2: name is kJ Costello, who I know a lot of

618
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 2: people are big on. They've got good receiving targets. They've

619
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 2: bought like seven to five star tight ends battling it out.

620
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,960
Speaker 2: It feels like a very Stanford year. September is tough,

621
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:02,720
Speaker 2: and that's just what Stanford does. They lose a game

622
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 2: in September and that's fine. They have USC on the road.

623
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 2: Excuse me, in week two after the austral Well, I

624
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: guess it's like two weeks after the Australia trip. Yeah,

625
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,239
Speaker 2: they have UCLA a couple of weeks later at San

626
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,960
Speaker 2: Diego State. I am not up to date on the Aztecs.

627
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 2: I know don l Pumfrees gone. I also know that

628
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 2: they had, for the most part, an excellent defense last year.

629
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: They're not They're probably not going to lose to San

630
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 2: Diego State, but it's on the road.

631
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 1: It's in San Diego.

632
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 2: Who knows, it's a it's a garbage stadium, so that

633
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 2: could affect things. They Other than that, they're pack twelve

634
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 2: schedule pretty great. They've Oregon at home, they have Washington

635
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,840
Speaker 2: at home, they have calum the big game at home,

636
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: they travel to Utah, and they finish with Notre Dame

637
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 2: at home. We will get to but I mean having

638
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 2: two of the three best teams on their schedule at home.

639
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: Fine, great. I feel ten and two. I or the

640
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 1: losses USC week two. If you're going to get Stanford,

641
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: get them early. I think a week two loss against

642
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: USC at USC and then I think a against Washington

643
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:05,359
Speaker 1: in a war, a close game, a war. I feel

644
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,400
Speaker 1: better about what Washington has in terms of veteran leadership

645
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: on their offense to get the job done. Okay, then

646
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: I do Stanford, but I think that's a war of

647
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,239
Speaker 1: a game ten and two, ten and two regular season.

648
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 2: Okay, now that'll be the the Washington offense against the

649
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:22,879
Speaker 2: Stanford defense will have to be a better performance from

650
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 2: the Stanford defense this year. But there are a ton

651
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 2: of upperclassmen on this Stanford defense, so it should be fun.

652
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 1: Ten and two for me. Yeah, Wazoo, Dan, talk to

653
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:34,719
Speaker 1: me about Wazoo.

654
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: Okay, Wazoo is the wild card team once again, and

655
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 2: that's you know, that's Mike Leach's destiny is to keep

656
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,439
Speaker 2: producing the ultimate wild card. Although this Mike Leach team

657
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 2: almost feels even Leachier than normal. They could run the

658
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 2: ball like really well for an air raid team short

659
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 2: of what West Virginia has done the past couple of years,

660
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,320
Speaker 2: and somewhat with with Oklahoma State. So here's my feeling

661
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 2: about Wazoo. Luke Fawk somehow still in college. Yeah, God

662
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 2: bless Van Wilder. Don't love the offensive line, love the

663
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 2: trio of running backs. They lose a couple of big

664
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 2: wide receivers, but they throw it to like seventy three

665
00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 2: dudes in a year, so that's not something I'm terribly

666
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 2: concerned about. Defensively, guess what they have, Tye, Please try

667
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:18,000
Speaker 2: to guess.

668
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,879
Speaker 1: They've got a really good front seven and a really

669
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 1: questionable secondary. I'm going to stop you right there. They've

670
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 1: got a dude. Oh oh oh, who got who do

671
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:30,360
Speaker 1: we got? Who do we got? Pay it with me?

672
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 1: Ty Hercules Mataafa Yeah him. So he is a complete terror.

673
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 2: He rushes the quarterback extraordinarily well in that sort of

674
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 2: rush and outside linebacker hybrid role that he plays in

675
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,880
Speaker 2: that Alex Grinch defense. He is so fun to watch

676
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: and blocking him is it's more of a suggestion than

677
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 2: it is a completion, and he is.

678
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 1: He is that good.

679
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: So Washington State, even with deficiencies in the back, like

680
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 2: we mentioned, they terrorize backfields. They produce negative plays. Our

681
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 2: friend Bill Connolly was writing about this in his preview,

682
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 2: and if you are going to give up big plays,

683
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 2: it's probably wise to be able to generate negative plays

684
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: at the same time to balance things out and set

685
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 2: yourself up for turnovers. In Washington State, for the most part,

686
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 2: they struggled against the better teams on their schedule, but

687
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 2: they took advantage of bad and struggling teams. I will

688
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 2: the Oregon game almost hurt more than it did watching

689
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 2: Oregon against Washington and Washington score seventy because this is

690
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 2: Wazoo and I am a dumb, condescending Oregon fan. But

691
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 2: my god, were they good in that game? So I

692
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 2: like Wazoo. I have concerns that will lead to losses,

693
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 2: but they're gonna be real fun again this year. Luke

694
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 2: Fwawk is like, I don't know, somewhere over four thousand

695
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 2: yards away from being a top five yardage quarterback in

696
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 2: college football ever, so good for him.

697
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: He could challenge five thousand yards this year. Who it's

698
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:57,760
Speaker 1: within reach. They return a lot, They return a lot,

699
00:37:57,840 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you mentioned it. If you,

700
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: I apologize, I'm going to reiterate. Their front seven is

701
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: surprisingly good and Mike Leach does this thing where he

702
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: tries to get his defenses. They give up yards right,

703
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: and the secondary this year, of course, is questionable, but

704
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: they try to create negative plays and forced turnovers, and

705
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: that's fun to watch as a fan. It's fun to

706
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: watch because if they're making plays, they're big ones. So

707
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: I'm excited about them. I'm feeling seven five, eight and

708
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: four somewhere in that range. I'm I'm gonna go more

709
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: eight and four than seven and five, though, Yeah, I

710
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 1: think that's right. I'm good with that. Oregon State, Yeah,

711
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 1: Oregon State went five and seven a year ago. I

712
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: like their running back situation this year. I don't like

713
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: their rush defense this year. I also don't like their schedule,

714
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 1: which is extremely challenging. Otherwise though, I like what Gary

715
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: Anderson's doing. I think he is positioning the Beavers quite

716
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: well for the future. It's just gonna be a bit

717
00:38:57,680 --> 00:38:58,280
Speaker 1: of a rebuilt.

718
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 2: It's an impossible schedule, and you're right. Last year teams

719
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 2: ran through Oregon's defensive line like they were a not

720
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 2: even below average. They were a very poor red rover team.

721
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 2: They were just they were not good at putting up

722
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 2: the wall. Oregon State the talent level has certainly increased.

723
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 2: Their backfield is totally underrated. They have probably one of

724
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 2: the best two or three backfields and the conference. Ryan

725
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 2: Knall is very good. Thomas Tyner, who you'll remember was

726
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 2: a starter at Oregon a couple of years ago, retired,

727
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: is back. They have I think a TCU transfer now there,

728
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: so they should be able to move the ball if

729
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 2: the offensive line improves. Jake Luton is the quarterback. He

730
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,360
Speaker 2: was at Idaho and then went to a JC and

731
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: so he is sort of an unknown quantity. But they

732
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 2: should incrementally improve. But yeah, as you were sort of

733
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 2: alluding to, might not reflect on the final record. I

734
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: don't think they're making a bowl game this year.

735
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 1: Also, did you know that Jake Luton is six'? Seven

736
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 1: is that? True that is one hundred percent. True, finally

737
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: the new Brock osweiler on The west coast love. It.

738
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 1: YEAH i Like Oregon state for the. Future tough schedule

739
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: though this. Year. Yeah also in The pac Twelve, north

740
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: let's go To. Cal cal's got a new. Coach they

741
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 1: went five and seven a year. Ago they Hired Justin

742
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: wilcox away From. Wisconsin, right he was their defensive. Coordinator,

743
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:21,640
Speaker 1: yep he went out and he Hired Bo, baldwin who

744
00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 1: was a NOTED fcs coach At Eastern. Washington, right that's. True.

745
00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:31,719
Speaker 1: Yep the red field another situation where, DEFENSIVELY i think

746
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: you got to ask. Questions their road schedule is extremely.

747
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: Difficult they're just young across the. Board on, offense they've

748
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: got an entirely new offensive. Line this is not going

749
00:40:42,760 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: to Be cal's, year which gives me all the more

750
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: reason to pick my. Dude, yeah my dude From, cal

751
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: Gimme Demetrius Robertson dan Former Notre dame, commit hemmed and hawed,

752
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: around eventually decided that he was going to go To.

753
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 1: Cal not a bad place to. Be he had ninety,

754
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 1: targets seven hundred and sixty seven yards and seven touchdowns

755
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 1: a year. AGO i think he factors in in a

756
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:16,359
Speaker 1: big way on their. OFFENSE i just agree just Because

757
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: i'm worried about quarterback for The Cal faris and that

758
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,320
Speaker 1: to us to throw him the ball.

759
00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 2: Tie i'm a little bit worried about a lot of

760
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,880
Speaker 2: things With cal's, offense BUT i think it'll eventually be all.

761
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 2: Right there's some talent. THERE i also Like Melkie's stovall and, defensively,

762
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 2: yes they're not where they were a couple of years

763
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 2: ago in terms of it being a total dearth of.

764
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 2: Talent the talent level certainly has. Increased it's not where

765
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 2: it needs to be to start competing week, out weekend

766
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 2: and week out in THE pac Twelve.

767
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: North but The tim De ruter hire is very.

768
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 2: Nice he comes over former head, Coach Bo, baldwin former head,

769
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 2: coach SO i like what appears to be the stability

770
00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:54,479
Speaker 2: and foundation for the. FUTURE i like the staff a whole.

771
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 2: Lot Steve greatwood who was the long long Time oregon

772
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 2: offensive line, coach takes over FOR, cal and you, know

773
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,919
Speaker 2: is very good at identifying talent that isn't necessarily blue

774
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 2: chip coming out of high school but develops into high level.

775
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,240
Speaker 2: Players SO i think they did a really good job

776
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 2: in terms of pointing the program in the right. Direction

777
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 2: but this, year first of, all weird non conference. Schedule, Time,

778
00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 2: yeah At North, carolina then they Host Ole miss and

779
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 2: that's a week BEFORE, usc and then they go To

780
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 2: oregon and To Washington Washington state back at, Home so

781
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 2: it's a Rough september and through Mid. OCTOBER i, guess

782
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: and you, know what what we can get from THIS

783
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 2: cal season because it's probably not going to make a bowl,

784
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 2: Game but what we can get is what they look

785
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,680
Speaker 2: like near the end of the, year and if there's

786
00:42:40,680 --> 00:42:43,319
Speaker 2: a spark of, this if there's a, oh a glimmer of,

787
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 2: that that is what we can take. AWAY i think

788
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 2: they're recruiting pretty well all things. Considered So i'm just

789
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 2: in Late October, november let's see what potential looks like FOR.

790
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: Cal and if there's some optimism there because of what

791
00:42:58,760 --> 00:43:00,359
Speaker 2: happens later on in the, season that's.

792
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: Great that's. Why that's why you get a good, Dude Demetrius.

Speaker 2: after going four and. Eight getting rid Of Mark helfrich also,

818
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 2: important though not as. Flashy we talked about it when

819
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:20,959
Speaker 2: we Mentioned, colorado but they did Bring Jim levitt over

820
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:25,399
Speaker 2: to coach their. Defense he will have his work cut

821
00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 2: out for, Him, dan because the defense was pretty damn

822
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 2: bad last. Year, so big, PICTURE i Think oregon's doing

823
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 2: very very good things and what they hired and what

824
00:44:34,040 --> 00:44:37,040
Speaker 2: they are doing schematically with their offense and, defense and

825
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:40,200
Speaker 2: their return a promising young quarterback And Justin. Herbert the

826
00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,920
Speaker 2: hires were. Great they're recruiting obviously very. WELL i think

827
00:44:42,920 --> 00:44:46,240
Speaker 2: they're in the top, ten top, five. Whatever looking. Forward

828
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 2: but we're talking about this, season and here's what we

829
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 2: know About oregon this. Season Justin herbert should be pretty.

830
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 2: Good he was playing behind a very experienced and what

831
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 2: should be maybe the strength of the. Offense in the offensive,

832
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: line they return four or five, starters Including Ryl crosby

833
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 2: who's very good at left. Tackle they have a very

834
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 2: good running back In Royce freeman who could Set oregon,

835
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 2: records and a couple really good guys behind. Him their

836
00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 2: week at receiver and that was made weaker By Darren

837
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 2: carrington being kicked off the, team so they will be

838
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 2: working in a lot of. Youth the number one receiver

839
00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: will probably be looks Like Dylan, mitchell who was a

840
00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: big promising kid From tennessee a couple of years. Ago

841
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 2: the problem is they have the capability of being very

842
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 2: good on offense because of those. Players they really, do

843
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 2: and if you look at the efficiency, numbers it tells

844
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 2: a story of they should be able to score forty

845
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 2: plus points per. Game the problem is you take the

846
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 2: good with the. Bat as we talked about on OUR

847
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 2: sec preview With, arkansas this defense is at least a

848
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 2: year away from being respectable because talent, wise it's not.

849
00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 2: There they infuse the defensive line with A clemson transfer

850
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,880
Speaker 2: In Scott. PAGANO i, THINK i know they got ANOTHER

851
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 2: jc guy in recently who had been committed To missouri last.

852
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:01,640
Speaker 2: Minute but they have a really good linebacker and the

853
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 2: secondary is gonna be pretty rough. Again they're gonna try

854
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:08,200
Speaker 2: to work in some younger, guys but playing Against Jake,

855
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,640
Speaker 2: browning playing Against Josh, ROSEN i think they miss usc

856
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 2: but even still they're gonna give up. Points so if

857
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 2: they Are bowl, eligible WHICH i think they should. BE

858
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 2: i think they're in like six and, six seven and five. Range,

859
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:25,840
Speaker 2: yeah if they get to that, point you'll be hearing

860
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 2: a lot OF i barely survived that. Call, YEAH i

861
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 2: sort of got. Akil that's any good. POINT i can't

862
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: do it. Anymore are You are you going to be

863
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 2: staying up for these late?

864
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,680
Speaker 1: Games? Yeah, PROBABLY i mean it.

865
00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: DEPENDS i didn't stay up for the second half of

866
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 2: The cow game last, year And i'm kind of GLAD i.

867
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 2: Didn't but it's it's gonna be forty nine to forty

868
00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 2: five's one way or the. Other, Right it just it's

869
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 2: gonna be a very big twelve year For. Oregon you

870
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 2: Got Royce freeman to. Watch though he's exciting Have Royce.

871
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 2: Freeman there's some some fron freshmen coming in and hopefully

872
00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:02,399
Speaker 2: defensively they at least show off show up in three four,

873
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 2: games they're, like, oh they just forced a three and.

Speaker 1: Out let's cherish. This let's make sure we never. FORGET

Speaker 1: i kicked around Calling Charles nelson either the full or Half.

876
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: Nelson he's a maddening, player by the, way so maybe just.

877
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: Half then he's a player that if he were On Notre.

878
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 2: Dame outside Of Notre dame, fans people would be, like,

880
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:28,759

888
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:51,440
Speaker 1: two mobster just not not. Suitable Tony brooks. Flames, oh

889
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 1: he averaged like seven or eight yards per carry last.

890
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:54,560
Speaker 1: YEAR i do like. IT i do like.

891
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,560

892
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 2: Kenyon barner. Mold, okay so we're feeling six and, six

893
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:01,879
Speaker 2: seven and.

894
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: Five will he? TECH i think. So, yeah it'll be

895
00:48:04,040 --> 00:48:06,440
Speaker 1: a very big twelve year For. Oregon one of the

896
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 1: fantasy things that we did not draft Is Willie taggart's

897
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: connection To Jim harball and The harbor. Fam the fact

898
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 1: that he's kind of a de Facto. Harrball he played

899
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:21,040
Speaker 1: At Western kentucky Under Jack. Harball for four years he

900
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:23,359
Speaker 1: was a. Starter that's the kind of thing where If

901
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: oregon puts a few wins, together or if it does

902
00:48:26,120 --> 00:48:29,440
Speaker 1: something interesting, that my, friends is a college game day

910
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 2: state which is probably they're probably going to be better

911
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:53,760
Speaker 2: than they were than they were last year When oregon

Speaker 2: Horses oh, yeah oh, yeah. Yeah so we are self.

1025

1027
00:55:24,560 --> 00:55:29,439
Speaker 2: yeah shout out To brandon. McKissick we were that's right last.

1028
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,120
Speaker 2: Year here's HOW i.

1029
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 1: Feel last. Year it was truly a combination of factors

1030
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: that led to four and. Eight the frustrating part is

1031
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,680
Speaker 1: that it was never all the factors at. Once so

1032
00:55:42,760 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 1: as a, fan you always had this glimmer of. Hope you,

1033
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,760
Speaker 1: know the offense looks, good but the defense is. Terrible

1034
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,479
Speaker 1: defense looks, good but the offense can't move the. Ball

1035
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: it goes a lot deeper than, that And Notre dame

1036
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,759
Speaker 1: found themselves in a bunch of close games where there

1037
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:57,719
Speaker 1: was a glimmer of, hope and then they lost most

1038
00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,360
Speaker 1: of them and it was just a. Mess but it

1039
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: was a better team than the record would. Indicate you

1040
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 1: talk to anybody who looks at the, stats and of

1041
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: course the games are not played on. Paper But Notre

1042
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,160
Speaker 1: dame was a better team than four and eight last.

1043
00:56:11,239 --> 00:56:14,720
Speaker 1: Year it just it didn't. MATERIALIZE a lot went. Wrong,

1074
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: audio term could be applied. Here, Equinemias Saint. Brown it's

1075
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,439
Speaker 1: not just. Him they've got a lot of options out.

Speaker 1: number two. Guy a lot of talent to work, with

1079
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 1: not just at wide out but at tight, end both

1080
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:22,120

00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: line led By Quentin, Nelson mike mcglinchy on the left.

1082

Speaker 1: Toes he returns from academic suspension a year. Ago the

1085
00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,840
Speaker 1: big question Is Brandon wimbush and how he's going to.

1086
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 1: Perform not enough is being mentioned about the game of

1087
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:46,640
Speaker 1: three dimensional chess That Brandon wimbusch found himself in waiting

1088
00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: out the murky quarterback situation Between Shaun kaiser And emilik'sayer

1089
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: they both. Left now he gets two.

1090
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 2: Years he gets two. Years and so we're talking two new,

1091
00:58:57,160 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 2: coordinators a new, quarterback a newly at peace and yoga

1092
00:59:04,480 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 2: meister head Coach kelly WHO i think the, Latest and

1093
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 2: we actually have a page a running list of People

1094
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,360
Speaker 2: Brian kelly has blamed for. Things the newest thing is

1095
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,600
Speaker 2: last year he blamed the time he had to spend on. Fundraising,

1096
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,280
Speaker 2: correct that's the new. Thing, okay it's, Tough, honestly it

1097
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 2: is tough to keep. Track but, Yes Notre dame has

1098
00:59:27,040 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 2: to be better this. Year but it is a challenge

1099
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:33,000
Speaker 2: because Now Notre dame hasn't in a, while at least

1100
00:59:33,240 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 2: it hasn't felt like they've had a guy who has

1101
00:59:35,160 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 2: been like savior part of the you, know illusion because

1102
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 2: Of Notre. Dame but it was, Like Notre dame is

1103
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 2: going to be fine because they have this big armed

1104
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 2: quarterback And Brandon wimbush and they're starting over with a

1105
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 2: lot of talent on. Offense But wimbush is the. Guy

1106
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 2: how do you feel about?

1107
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: That, NO i, MEAN i don't think he's earned, That.

1108
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:00,040
Speaker 2: But isn't that like the sort of you know he

1109
01:00:00,480 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 2: no doubt about its, starter and the hope to like

1110
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 2: at least turn this team into an eight win team

1111
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:07,280
Speaker 2: is on.

1112
01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Him it is on. Him it is on. Him, thankfully

1113
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,360
Speaker 1: it's not all on. Him he's got enough of a

1114
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 1: supporting cast that if he's just fair To, midland they

1115
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: should still find a way to win seven or eight. Games,

1116
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 1: OKAY i have got a great offensive line in front of.

1117
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: HIM i love Mcglenchean. NELSON a great offensive line defensively

1118
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:28,280
Speaker 1: is also a story worth. Mentioning can't focus entirely on

1119
01:00:28,320 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: the offense because they did Bring Mike elko over to

1120
01:00:31,240 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: be defensive coordinator From. Wake he will find a way

1121
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: to pressure the quarterback even if there is some turnover up.

1122
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,720
Speaker 1: Front the reports out of practice For Notre dame is

1123
01:00:41,720 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: that they're missing fewer. Tackles, now, again it's only. Practice

1124
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,160
Speaker 1: read into that however deeply you'd like, to But Notre

1125
01:00:49,240 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: dame has really had an issue with that over the

1126
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: last couple of. Seasons missing, tackles guys running through. Tackles

1127
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 1: all the fancy stats that we talk about don't Mean

1128
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: jack if he can't tackle on. Defense if they get

1129
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 1: better in that singular, RESPECT i will feel much much

1130
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: better about where this defense is. HEADED i don't like

1131
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: that they Lose Isaac rochelle And Jaron jones along the,

1132
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: line BUT i think otherwise they should be. Fine.

1133
01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:16,640
Speaker 2: TYE i love the optimism of sort of talking about

1134
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 2: practice reports that they're better at tackling their own.

1135
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: Team they're better at tackling for and eight is Where

1136
01:01:24,360 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: i'm coming. From it's Where i'm coming. From EVEN i

1137
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 1: didn't say, that, Well i'm saying it for. You forny

1138
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: is Where i'm coming. From that's my starting. Point there's

1139
01:01:35,320 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: nowhere to go but. Up, yeah they're really taking it

1140
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: to the scout. Team, really they're looking like national championship.

1141
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 2: Contenders eight's the scound four eight and. Four, yeah that's.

1142
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:52,240
Speaker 2: Fine the schedule is such where there really isn't are

1143
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 2: there like difficult.

1144
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,440
Speaker 1: RUNS i don't think there. Are it's everything pretty evenly.

1145
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: BALANCED i think.

1146
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,960
Speaker 2: They van the season in a tough way going To Miami,

1147
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 2: navy who is just. Listen even as with as much

1148
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 2: As navy has, lost they are they're. Tricky Notre name's

1149
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 2: on a losing streak against The, midshipman and then they

1150
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 2: go To, stanford so it's a tough way to finish

1151
01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 2: the schedule. Out but if This Notre dame team has

1152
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 2: their head on screwed screwed on, properly then they'll be

1153
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 2: fine and they'll win seven or, eight maybe nine games

1154
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 2: if if everything comes together And Brandon wimbush is What

1155
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 2: Notre dame fans really do believe he. Is, yeah middle

1156

1157
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,120

1163
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: be a challenging. Schedule it's pretty solid the full way.

1164

1198
01:04:48,560 --> 01:04:51,000
Speaker 2: when we're recording. It we just peeled back that layer

1199
01:04:51,040 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 2: of the Scheduling onion.

1200
01:04:52,960 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: At Miami november, Eleventh navy On november, eighteenth and then At.

1201
01:04:58,360 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: Stanford so the punch Of, Miami navy And stanford to

1202
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 1: end the year is pretty, challenging to be quite. Honest

1203
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: and we'll be a test.

1204
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:12,000
Speaker 2: If we're going to stretch it out even. LONGER USC

1205
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 2: Nc State Wake. Forest they should win one or two

1206
01:05:15,360 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 2: of those games still body bull potential and all three of. Them,

1207
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 2: yeah those are that's it looks like in The navy's

1208
01:05:22,120 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 2: defense probably is going to be, wonderful but it's still

1209
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 2: going to be. Tough that's six straight just, DIFFICULTIES i would,

1210
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 2: say all, Right.

1211
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: So there you have, it eight and. Four eight and

1212
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,960

1216
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 2: teams were Like, FLORIDA usc, Okay so in Actuality it'll Be,

1217
01:05:48,160 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 2: Stanford Ohio, State, Alabama Florida state BECAUSE i think the

1218
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 2: The Ohio State oklahoma game will Eliminate oklahoma BECAUSE i

1219
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 2: think they lose a game in conference as.

1220
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: Well we've got one team. DIFFERENT i agree On, BAMA

1221
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:12,040

1222
01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 1: i'm gonna Go washington instead Of. Stanford Those, therefore what

1223
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:20,600
Speaker 1: is a team right? Now And i'm loading the rankings.

1224
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:24,080
Speaker 1: Up what is a team right now that is outside

1225
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:27,320
Speaker 1: of the top twenty. Five we've sort of talked about this,

1226
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,160
Speaker 1: before and you can take a second to load it.

1227
01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 1: Up that will finish in the top, fifteen top. Fifteen,

1228

1229
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:45,920

1230
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:50,080
Speaker 1: THE Nc state And utah are two that are intriguing to.

1231
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 1: Me Notre. DAME i am inclined to say they're a

1232
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 1: top twenty five. Team they're gonna be a top twenty five,

1233
01:06:56,040 --> 01:07:00,400
Speaker 1: Team but will they finish in the top. FIFTEEN i

1234
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 1: think that's a red herring because they've finished up With.

1235
01:07:03,080 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: Stanford as we just, mentioned that's probably a loss so

1236
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: that would cause them to. Drop SO i think the

1237

Speaker 1: answer is from MERE Nc state In. Utah you know, What.
