Speaker 1: Welcome to the Solid Verbal. I'll that for me. I'm
Speaker 1: a man, I'm forty.
Speaker 2: I've heard so many players say, well, I want to
Speaker 2: be happy.
Speaker 1: You want to be happy for dake Edo State. Is that?
Speaker 1: Whoo whoom? And Dan and Tye, welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Solid Verbal, Boys and girls. My name is Ty Hildebrand
Speaker 1: joining me over there in beautiful New York City. You
Speaker 1: know him as Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how are you? Ty?
Speaker 1: I'm good.
Speaker 2: I just I Sometimes I wake up feeling like, now
Speaker 2: that we're talking Pack twelve today, you're not going to
Speaker 2: play right. I used to know. I used to really
Speaker 2: know this, but now it's just it don't feel right. Ty,
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is, and it's made me
Speaker 2: put away my pride.
Speaker 1: Ooh uh so long.
Speaker 2: Ty with this episode with the package Childish Gambino, This
Speaker 2: child is Childish Gambino.
Speaker 1: I don't know the name of the song Childish Gambino.
Speaker 2: It's it's Redbone, Redbone Daylight.
Speaker 1: How are you? Man? You know? Ty?
Speaker 2: Now that we have saved the best for last, and
Speaker 2: that would be Pack twelve discussion, I shouldn't say that
Speaker 2: because we're also talking Notre Dame. Uh and is that
Speaker 2: what we're doing. We're doing that right. We are doing
Speaker 2: our teams last Pack twelve and Notre Dame, which, if
Speaker 2: you're listening to this right now, get your grandparents in
Speaker 2: the room, okay, and this is.
Speaker 1: Just fu Okay, Grandpa, grab pop it the song. Verbal
Speaker 1: boys are going to talk Notre Day. Stop it, Grandpa.
Speaker 1: I'm yelling. The neighbors are coming out of their homes here, Grandpa.
Speaker 1: I'm excited to do this show. By the way, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to yell breaking news to save my
Speaker 1: voice my energy for the remainder of this show. But
Speaker 1: people are going to be listening to this show, and
Speaker 1: there are going to be five college football games in
Speaker 1: the books already. You're going to hear this show on
Speaker 1: a Sunday, which means that I think we need to
Speaker 1: preemptively do some game recaps. Maybe once we get into
Speaker 1: our Stanford preview, we can do that because they're playing
Speaker 1: a game in did I see Australia, Sydney Australia. They
Speaker 1: already did time, Oh already played Stanford Rice. How about
Speaker 1: that one Oregon State, Colorado State hoo to funk wowsa,
Speaker 1: that's right. Another just houdah I didn't see that coming before.
Speaker 1: At forty thousand strong at Alliance Stadium in Sydney, Australia, Allians. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: what do we call these games? By the way, we
Speaker 1: had someone email us or tweet us asking what the
Speaker 1: proper nomenclature is for these early season games? Are they
Speaker 1: appetizer games? Appartifs they're snacks? Sometimes you see on menu
Speaker 1: that there's snacks, appetizers, entree and the snacks are just
Speaker 1: like you know, deviled eggs or something that you wouldn't
Speaker 1: fully hall and appetizer just a bite like a finger food. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's the scene in something about I'm just actually I'm
Speaker 1: not going to go there, Ty, I'm just not doing
Speaker 1: go there because it's a family program.
Speaker 2: We have grandparents listening. That's right, Grandpa, And yeah, it
Speaker 2: just snacks, the snacks.
Speaker 1: Well, if there are any Australian for ballers who will
Speaker 1: be there, they're already there. Tweet us let us know.
Speaker 1: We actually do have a fair amount of Australian for
Speaker 1: ballers who listen to the program, So send us pictures
Speaker 1: and tweets and all that fun stuff. If you were
Speaker 1: at the football game last night between Stanford and UH
Speaker 1: and Rice.
Speaker 2: What a fight between Connor McGregor and Floyd anyway, Holy Holy,
Speaker 2: they're not going to be able to show that one again.
Speaker 1: Very good, very good. All right, just making sure we
Speaker 1: cover all our base. Thank you. We do have a
Speaker 1: new home for our pickam pool. Shortly after we did
Speaker 1: the show on Wednesday, we were able to find a solution.
Speaker 1: Go to our web page, look at the posting for
Speaker 1: this particular episode. Look on Twitter, look on Facebook. The
Speaker 1: new link for the pick and Pool could be found there.
Speaker 1: Get in if you haven't already. People who got in
Speaker 1: the old Yahoo one. We're not going to be keeping tabs.
Speaker 1: Feel free to pick your games in there if you
Speaker 1: so desire. We will not be keeping tabs in that one.
Speaker 1: The official one has been moved elsewhere, So go to
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
Speaker 1: need right there. Great job, Ty. So as you eluded Dan,
Speaker 1: We've got one conference left. We've got one big independent
Speaker 1: team left, Dan. That conference. That conference is the PAC twelve. Yep,
Speaker 1: that an independent team is you Mass. I would like
Speaker 1: to start in the south and go north. It can
Speaker 1: be our college football Nile River. Here, you will close
Speaker 1: out with Oregon and No Tree Dame. Okay, As we
Speaker 1: start in the South, I think it's fairly obvious that
Speaker 1: the team everyone's got their eye on is the USC Trojans, right.
Speaker 1: I think that's correct USC ten and three a year ago. Obviously,
Speaker 1: it starts with your twenty eighteen first overall draft choice,
Speaker 1: Sam Darnald, Dan crank up that dang hype machine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that train is a chuggin. If you didn't already know
Speaker 1: every other miscellaneous fact about Sam Darnold, maybe about his
Speaker 1: grandfather being the Marlborough Man, or the fact that he
Speaker 1: played multiple sports in high school, any of that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. If you didn't know it, you will soon.
Speaker 1: Here though, is the coolest if you didn't see it,
Speaker 1: we tweeted it. He is co hosting a podcast with
Speaker 1: our friend Yogi Roth. The season of Sam much better
Speaker 1: than the summer of Sam. I don't have anything to
Speaker 1: add about him on the field. His numbers last were
Speaker 1: remarkably consistent for what a red shirt freshman whatever he was. Yes,
Speaker 1: if you watched him, he's got a presence. There's a
Speaker 1: ton of reason to be excited, a ton of reason
Speaker 1: to think that he's really special. Do you have anything
Speaker 1: to add beyond that.
Speaker 2: As it relates to Sam Donald specifically, you know that
Speaker 2: he has the capability of being special. The thing that
Speaker 2: will affect Sam Donald though, and what his season looks like,
Speaker 2: is replacing a couple starters on the line that moved
Speaker 2: on to the NFL, replacing two big receivers and Juju Smith,
Speaker 2: Schuster and Darius Rogers, and the familiarity is. It's going
Speaker 2: to take a little bit of time, but he has
Speaker 2: a ton of young, speedy talent to work with, talent.
Speaker 1: The guys are stepping up because it's USC. I do
Speaker 1: worry about the line. I do worry about who he's
Speaker 1: throwing to. I like that he's got Ronald Jones back.
Speaker 1: That should provide USC with some big playability on the ground. Defensively,
Speaker 1: there's a little turnover at all three levels of their defense,
Speaker 1: but there is a ton of talent coming back there
Speaker 1: as well. I thought about going doodle alert on Cam
Speaker 1: Smith because he's weirdly like Anonymous despite being a star
Speaker 1: middle linebacker. Yeah, I mean, the injuries have hurt, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm excited about the potential for this defense with
Speaker 1: some new guys stepping up again. You'll lose guys like
Speaker 1: Adorri Jackson and there are some others, but I still
Speaker 1: feel pretty good as a whole.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you nailed it. Rasheem Green is legitimately
Speaker 2: a Pac twelve star. Along the defensive line, very good.
Speaker 2: I think he led he All returning tacklers are led
Speaker 2: by Rasheem Green. Yes, you're right. Cam Smith is very good.
Speaker 2: Port Augustin is probably their best pass rushing option. They've
Speaker 2: recruited very well in the secondary. Really, if there is
Speaker 2: a weakness to this USC team, I think it is
Speaker 2: the speed. And that is not to say that there's
Speaker 2: not talents, which there very clearly is, and I'm not
Speaker 2: worried that they're going to be at all a letdown,
Speaker 2: but it is working in new receivers and perhaps the
Speaker 2: back end. They gave up some big plays last year,
Speaker 2: and there is a little bit of inexperience that could
Speaker 2: be a little bit concerning. Because the level of quarterbacking
Speaker 2: in the Pac twelve is pretty high, if not the
Speaker 2: highest in the country. So if you're going to nitpick,
Speaker 2: those are small issues because the talent is so high
Speaker 2: in LA and there's consistency along the coaching staff, and
Speaker 2: this is you know, it's crazy to say, given what
Speaker 2: we saw with Sark and before that Lane Kiffin. This
Speaker 2: is Clay Helton's team. He has a good staff in there.
Speaker 2: So USC is probably the team I'm worried about the least.
Speaker 2: Other than that schedule without a bye week, the.
Speaker 1: Schedule's kind of right in that goldilocks zone. If you're
Speaker 1: looking to make a title run. It's not too easy,
Speaker 1: not too ridiculous. Home against Texas at Notre Dame the
Speaker 1: non conference. Yeah, and that Texas is a week after Stanford,
Speaker 1: right correct. Tougher games not impossible, good non conference opponents
Speaker 1: home against Stanford. Week two, huge game home against Utah
Speaker 1: home I use air quotes here against Ucla. Those might
Speaker 1: be their toughest conference games.
Speaker 2: I have the Wazoo game circled Wazoo could be interesting
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Friday night game. I like that they get Stanford early,
Speaker 1: but the road schedule, look God, Cal at Cal at Wazoo,
Speaker 1: the Friday night game at ASU at Colorado the week
Speaker 1: before you s like, could be a bit of a sleeper.
Speaker 1: But buying large, this is pretty damn workable.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it's fine. They missed Washington and organ as
Speaker 2: we know, and yeah, it's fine. I just the no
Speaker 2: bye week feels like a trip up. They have the
Speaker 2: non buffer situations with UH with Stanford, Texas and Utah
Speaker 2: going and going to Notre Dame. That's that's the sort
Speaker 2: of the circle area that I have. But yeah, this
Speaker 2: is this is a team that has very little in
Speaker 2: the way of worries, and that Wazoo game is a
Speaker 2: little bit interesting also because Wazoo's weakness, and we'll get
Speaker 2: to it, is the secondary most likely, and USC has newer,
Speaker 2: greener receivers, and Wazoo has all sorts of great weapons
Speaker 2: on the outside, and USC has you know, some guys
Speaker 2: to work in in their own secondary. So fun matchup.
Speaker 1: USC goes eleven and one in the regular season and
Speaker 1: they lose to Texas in Week three. Whoa, that's my prediction.
Speaker 2: I have eleven and one losing to either Wazoo or Utah.
Speaker 2: I could see both of those. But how do you
Speaker 2: solve a problem like Utah if you're USC. I think
Speaker 2: they've lost one two of the last three years to
Speaker 2: the Utes. Kyle Whittingham, I've never numbered out that problem.
Speaker 2: I've got Utah going seven and five this year, which
Speaker 2: means inevitably they'll go nine and three.
Speaker 1: Yep, every year they outperform every year. I've got a
Speaker 1: loss to Texas here. I think USC makes the Pac
Speaker 1: twelve Championship. I will decide at the end of the
Speaker 1: show whether or not they're going to beat Washington in
Speaker 1: that game.
Speaker 2: May I say on USC briefly, please? How does USC
Speaker 2: compare in your mind to other teams that are regarded
Speaker 2: in a similar way nationally? So Florida State, Clemson, Alabama,
Speaker 2: Ohio State. I don't know if I'm forgetting Oklahoma.
Speaker 1: Perhaps. I think I feel better about pretty much all
Speaker 1: of those teams, with the exception of Clemson. And it
Speaker 1: may have very little to do with actual talent and
Speaker 1: more to do with the fact that USC always burns
Speaker 1: us when we have expectations. Not just us, everybody, everybody,
Speaker 1: not just us, right, I think that's right.
Speaker 2: I think I like USC more than Oklahoma, agreed, all
Speaker 2: things equal. I like the talent that USC has on
Speaker 2: defense more so than what Oklahoma has. And I like
Speaker 2: I love Ronald Jones. We even mentioned that love Ronald Jones,
Speaker 2: and I think I like them. I like them better
Speaker 2: than Clemson as well. And I really do like Clemson,
Speaker 2: So that's where I'm drawing my line. I think USC
Speaker 2: is about the third or fourth best team in the country.
Speaker 1: Moving on, let's go to Colorado. Dan ten and four, Okay,
Speaker 1: ten and four a year ago came a bit out
Speaker 1: of nowhere. Mike McIntyre Coach of the Year. Colorado just
Speaker 1: went gangbusters. It was a great season this year. We've
Speaker 1: got Philip Lindsay coming back at running back very nearly
Speaker 1: mydod alert very nearly, twelve hundred yards, sixteen touchdowns. Also,
Speaker 1: Shay Fields coming back at wide out, big play guy
Speaker 1: ninety six targets, nine touchdowns a year ago. I look
Speaker 1: on defense, though, and I look at the fact that
Speaker 1: so many defensive playmakers have now left the program. Jim
Speaker 1: Levitt included, Yes, I look at sef olufou leaving in
Speaker 1: the veteran presence he brought to the offense as a
Speaker 1: bit of an issue. They've got some turnover on both lines.
Speaker 1: The schedule is just kind of okay. It feels like
Speaker 1: a necessary step back. A program headed in the right direction,
Speaker 1: but a necessary step back by default. I'll go seven
Speaker 1: to five.
Speaker 2: Pretty good schedule, Colorado, I would add it, and I
Speaker 2: think all your points are correct. They lose a ton
Speaker 2: on defense. We saw the guys in the secondary get drafted.
Speaker 2: How good they were for Jim Levitt up front, And yeah,
Speaker 2: the safe of loofoul thing was a big deal, although
Speaker 2: he seemed to like die in the third quarter of
Speaker 2: every other game, so they are used to playing with
Speaker 2: Adam Steven Montes did a good job in relief mostly
Speaker 2: and schedule wise, the non conference isn't bad. They have
Speaker 2: a neutral sych game against Colorado. They traveled to UCLA,
Speaker 2: which Ucla has a stupid talented defense, but you know,
Speaker 2: TBD on offense under Jedfish and the Rose Bowls not
Speaker 2: the most difficult place to play at Oregon State at Wazoo,
Speaker 2: at Arizona.
Speaker 1: State at Utah.
Speaker 2: So the fact that they get USC at home, they
Speaker 2: get Washington at home, and they miss Oregon. Who I mean,
Speaker 2: Oregon's going to be okay. They're nothing special, but they
Speaker 2: have the capability to look good at times. So a
Speaker 2: decent enough schedule I think. I think seven five, eight
Speaker 2: and four, which honestly tie again where Colorado was oh
Speaker 2: my god years ago.
Speaker 1: I would take that in a heartbeat.
Speaker 2: Seven and five coming after huge losses on one side
Speaker 2: of the ball.
Speaker 1: Wow. Great, cool, and you never know too. I mean,
Speaker 1: there really is some skill talent that's still in Colorado.
Speaker 1: It's not like the cover's totally bare. Oh. Steven Montez,
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, he looked pretty good in limited action
Speaker 1: last year around mid season when he had a fill in.
Speaker 1: I thought he was doing a half eason job. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And Mike McIntyre, you know Rocky off season four. I
Speaker 2: mean not for him for much more important people, but
Speaker 2: off field stuff aside, done a really good job on
Speaker 2: field stuff. I'm saying seven and five were you're saying
Speaker 2: seven and five, I'm gonna say one, two, three, four, five, six,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1: It in four. Wow. Okay, Well, I hope so like Colorado,
Speaker 1: I hope so. Yeah, Let's go to Utah. Staying in
Speaker 1: the Southern Division of the PAC twelve. Utah went nine
Speaker 1: to four a year ago. Dan Kyle Whittingham announced a
Speaker 1: few days ago that he's going to give the keys
Speaker 1: to sophomore Tyler Huntley at quarterback, which was a bit
Speaker 1: of a surprise that he didn't announce senior Troy Williams.
Speaker 1: They do, of course, lose Joe Williams their running back
Speaker 1: who went to the forty nine ers, But it'll be
Speaker 1: a new look now for Utah. They also have a
Speaker 1: new offensive coordinator, Troy Taylor, who wants to run more
Speaker 1: of an up tempo passing attack. I'm excited about their defense.
Speaker 1: I think their defense will be able to harass and
Speaker 1: disrupt opposing quarterbacks. But can we get that hot coal
Speaker 1: sound out again that we used in our SEC preview
Speaker 1: when we're talking about LSU, Can we get that out?
Speaker 1: Can we talk about Kyle Whittingham and how well he'd
Speaker 1: fare in that situation.
Speaker 2: Among PAC twelve head coaches, Moro would be gone instantly. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think rich trod and Todd Graham gone instantly. Clay
Speaker 2: Helton might be alright. Whittingham would be gangbuster. Yeah, he
Speaker 2: wouldn't even would be okay, not great. You know who
Speaker 2: I think would do pretty well? One hundred yards of
Speaker 2: burning hot, scalding colds, scalding Coles, Garry Anderson. I feel
Speaker 2: like there's a discipline sleeper.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you got to be disciplined to coach at Oregon State. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Here here is Utah's schedule. They could very easily start
Speaker 1: four to oh play North Dakota on the road at
Speaker 1: BYU in the Holy War. Always a tough game, but
Speaker 1: they could win that game San Jose State and then
Speaker 1: at Arizona, right, but then there's a bye and then
Speaker 1: things get weird. Stanford at USC, Arizona State at Oregon, Ucla,
Speaker 1: Wazoo at Washington, and they finish up with Colorado. That's
Speaker 1: a stretch, man, That is a stretch to close out
Speaker 1: your college football season.
Speaker 2: They look like, as you said, they look like a
Speaker 2: seven and five team that will somehow go eight and four,
Speaker 2: nine to three, just because the strength of that The
Speaker 2: defensive front is very real, even without Hunter Dimmick, who
Speaker 2: basically tackled everybody and owned every backfield last year, in
Speaker 2: the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: But lolatulle or lodu leile loll lotulele. I prefer lod
Speaker 1: to leile loll.
Speaker 2: I mean, could you imagine if loll lotulele played a
Speaker 2: lol volun not be fun for me so much alliteration.
Speaker 1: But defensively, they're going to be very good.
Speaker 2: A little bit worried about the secondary, but utfront they
Speaker 2: are in a very dominant space. Worried about the offensive
Speaker 2: line to somewhat of an extent, and quarterback is a
Speaker 2: big mystery to me. Troy Taylor, as you mentioned, comes
Speaker 2: over from Eastern Washington where they had a wide open
Speaker 2: passing attack. And here's the thing not to discount as well,
Speaker 2: even with as much turnover as as there is on offense,
Speaker 2: Utah ads Darren Carrington, who has been a dominant pack
Speaker 2: twelve received when he is on the field. We saw
Speaker 2: him light up Florida State and Stanford. He shows up
Speaker 2: for big games. So he will be making the trip
Speaker 2: back to Oddson after being kicked off the team, and
Speaker 2: that's a good place to start if you are He's
Speaker 2: a sophomore, right Huntley. Yeah, it's a good place to
Speaker 2: start with a grad transferred star receiver available to you. So, yes,
Speaker 2: I like Utah. This is just another Utah team. That's
Speaker 2: a very obvious statement, but I think people understand what
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say.
Speaker 1: I hope they can accomplish a little bit more of
Speaker 1: an up tempo passing attack.
Speaker 2: I think that'd be a neat look for Utah. Me
Speaker 2: huge help to the defense big time. Well if it succeeds.
Speaker 1: If it succeeds, yeah, and if they're not going three
Speaker 1: and out more often than they usually would, and then yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: but we'll see. Okay, Ucla they went four and eight,
Speaker 1: part of the four and eight club from a year ago.
Speaker 1: You know, the club, ty not really not a grouping
Speaker 1: of teams that people are concerned about with that record.
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen, he was nicked up. His sophomore year did
Speaker 1: not go as well as it was supposed to. He's
Speaker 1: healed up though, he's back this year. And Dan very
Speaker 1: nearly a Fantasy Things selection was Josh we selected, you
Speaker 1: selected Josh Rosen in his hot takes late. Yeah, Josh
Speaker 1: Rosen on his third offensive coordinator, also something that we
Speaker 1: very closely considered.
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, absolutely, Josh Rosen's in a good place. I'm
Speaker 2: the line was pretty atrocious last year, which is not
Speaker 2: a good sign. No real pass catcher stepped up, not
Speaker 2: a great sign. There's talent there. They couldn't run the
Speaker 2: ball at all. So so Jamaba will be the guy again.
Speaker 2: I don't think last year was his fault. They were
Speaker 2: just incredibly inefficient offensively, particularly or most notably after Josh
Speaker 2: Rosen went down. But here is the wonderful news, Tye.
Speaker 2: And this is I say this with earnest nature. This
Speaker 2: defense is stupid talented.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Tom scrap Bradley, Tom Scrapradley, Yeah, Tom scrap Bradley.
Speaker 2: They lose a couple of you literal huge places along
Speaker 2: the line, but they've recruited incredibly where while they're including
Speaker 2: the number one overall recruit in the country Phillips. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so he should at least situationally wreak havoc at times.
Speaker 2: And I think they got the number one corner in
Speaker 2: the country. And Darnay Holmes, who if you watched him play,
Speaker 2: is sort of like fly paper like that. Well, he's
Speaker 2: stuck on you there it is.
Speaker 1: That's that.
Speaker 2: And they're just across the board. They've rec you know,
Speaker 2: they lose pieces in the secondary, and they bring in
Speaker 2: four more. Kenny Young is as good a middle linebacker
Speaker 2: perhaps the side of a Zeem Victor in the conference. There,
Speaker 2: they're just they're gonna lie if the offense does anything.
Speaker 1: Tie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is going to be a top twelve defense
Speaker 2: in the country.
Speaker 1: You would think that Jed Fish could build a passing
Speaker 1: attack with Josh Rosen, You would think, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: he did it with Jake Rudoc at Michigan. He should
Speaker 1: be able to do it with Josh Rosen, a demonstrably
Speaker 1: better quarterback at UCLA. He's got an experienced group of
Speaker 1: wide outs, Darren Andrews, Jordan Lasley. But who's good? Who's good?
Speaker 1: Are any of them? I don't know. They're hair old,
Speaker 1: experience roots, they're experienced. Okay. He's got a running game
Speaker 1: that needs to get a lot better. And this is
Speaker 1: something that we can't just pan over. They were terrible
Speaker 1: at running the football, real real bad. A lot returning
Speaker 1: at running back, a lot returning along the offensive line.
Speaker 1: They need to figure that out.
Speaker 2: I got a grad transfer in from Miami, so they're
Speaker 2: they're trying, they're shoring up. Oh here's the other thing, Ty,
Speaker 2: we got to pour out. I don't know, are you
Speaker 2: drinking anything?
Speaker 1: I am not.
Speaker 2: I've got water, just had some. I had some lemon
Speaker 2: ginger tea And that's not a good thing to pour out.
Speaker 2: But Jet Fish going to UCLA to run their offense
Speaker 2: means the end of the Michigan Ohio State photoshop War
Speaker 2: between Jet oh Smith and Wow. A lot of good
Speaker 2: men were lost tie in the photoshop War of six
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen, twenty fifteen, and I don't know who won
Speaker 2: that war. But I know who lost that war, and
Speaker 2: that was America. It was an embarrassment for everybody.
Speaker 1: We've got two teams left in the Pac twelve seuth,
Speaker 1: both of the Arizona schools. Dan, run me through your
Speaker 1: favorite Arizona school.
Speaker 2: I guess Arizona State. The quarterback situation is a little
Speaker 2: bit more settled. Defensively, they've got to be better and healthier.
Speaker 2: They bring back I think the defense. Yeah, the defense
Speaker 2: brings back a good amount of guys. They just struggled
Speaker 2: last year. So that's one of the experience. Is it good,
Speaker 2: That's one of those questions. But Arizona State as playmakers.
Speaker 2: They have one of the best receivers in the conference
Speaker 2: in Nikhil Harry. He is a big body and catches
Speaker 2: a lot, has a very large catching radius. And if
Speaker 2: they can figure out a quarterback, I don't know, if
Speaker 2: they haven't named a quarterback at the time of this recording,
Speaker 2: it's gonna be Blake Barnett or Manny Wilkins.
Speaker 1: Right now, it looks more like Manny Wilkins.
Speaker 2: Okay, So he looks to be the option, a more
Speaker 2: dual threat option perhaps for ASU. So I'm going to
Speaker 2: go with that. They have a new defensive coordinator and
Speaker 2: Phil Bennett who comes over from Baylor, new offensive coordinator
Speaker 2: comes over from Alabama, and Billy Napier at least a
Speaker 2: co offensive coordinator. So talent wise, I think Arizona State
Speaker 2: is in a better place quarterback place, In terms of
Speaker 2: passing the ball down field, I think they're in a
Speaker 2: better place. And line play, especially on defense, certainly isn't
Speaker 2: a better place. So I am with ASU. The schedule
Speaker 2: doesn't seem terrible. There's another shootout at Texas Tech. Last
Speaker 2: year was in Tempe, but the schedule seems all right enough.
Speaker 2: It just seems mixed to me. So ASU has nothing
Speaker 2: to blame whatever happens in twenty seventeen. They have nothing
Speaker 2: to blame except just on themselves.
Speaker 1: I think the overriding theme for ASU is that there's
Speaker 1: a ton of potential on that team and it's all
Speaker 1: very young. They were so beat up last year. Beat up.
Speaker 1: Twenty seventeen is not going to be the year they
Speaker 1: quote unquote turn it around. They might build for twenty
Speaker 1: eighteen this season. I think that's Lane Kiffin, well for
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, for Chim Kelly. Who knows where the rumors
Speaker 1: take US, Yeah, but I don't think this is their
Speaker 1: year to be world beaters. But I like the talent.
Speaker 1: There is talent there which is exciting. The other school
Speaker 1: in the Pac Twell South would be Arizona Dan. They
Speaker 1: went three to nine last year. I like Nick Wilson
Speaker 1: at running back. I like their running game. I don't
Speaker 1: like anything in their defensive front seven because they lose
Speaker 1: a ton and I am not feeling very optimistic about
Speaker 1: the direction of this program now under Rich Rodriguez, I
Speaker 1: really liked and I think I still like the higher
Speaker 1: of Marceliates to sort of overhaul the defense after they
Speaker 1: parted ways with Jeff Castile.
Speaker 2: Who of course ran his three three five Marcelliates running
Speaker 2: more of a nickel four two five type look a
Speaker 2: hybrid type defense. It was a mess last year, it
Speaker 2: really was, and getting talented Tucson has been an issue.
Speaker 2: Figuring out identity on both sides of the ball has
Speaker 2: been an issue. And when you look at the backfield
Speaker 2: combinations that they have available to them, so that would
Speaker 2: be either Brandon Dawkins or Khalil Tait or the thirty
Speaker 2: seven year old minor league baseball player who has come
Speaker 2: in any combination of at least those first two guys
Speaker 2: and Nick Wilson. I don't know if you remember JJ
Speaker 2: Taylor from last year. Yeah, of course played, and yeah
Speaker 2: in Nick Wilson instead, little guy and is so quick,
Speaker 2: the tiny little burst that he has, he gets from
Speaker 2: the backfield to the second level and what he feels
Speaker 2: like like what's the name of the Dalson warping in
Speaker 2: Street Fighter too, He's just warping to the second level
Speaker 2: and he got beat up because he is sort of tiny.
Speaker 2: But when he is operating, he is one of the
Speaker 2: more fun players to watch in this conference. But the
Speaker 2: problem is literally everything else. They feel like team like
Speaker 2: they should be running like the veer or the triple
Speaker 2: option or something and just steer into you a unique look,
Speaker 2: and I just it's it's gonna be another long year.
Speaker 1: I fear in Tucson. Not optimistic in Tucson. No, ok
Speaker 1: maybe they get to four or five wins. I don't know, Dann.
Speaker 1: Let's go North. Okay, are you seeing a loss on
Speaker 1: the Husky schedule this year? Washington? You didn't last year?
Speaker 1: Do I see a loss? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Probably a loss. I'm not sure I do really well
Speaker 2: listen schedule wise, No, sc right during the regular season. Right,
Speaker 2: who else do they miss in the South? I think
Speaker 2: maybe one of the Arizona. Yeah, they don't play Arizona. Okay,
Speaker 2: that's fine.
Speaker 1: Talk about a great, great success story from last year.
Speaker 1: They won eleven and one in the regular season. They
Speaker 1: lost at home to usc but they still made the
Speaker 1: Pac twelve championship game. They clobbered Colorado by thirty one,
Speaker 1: won the conference. Then they go on they play Alabama
Speaker 1: and the College Football Playoff. They lost by seventeen. But
Speaker 1: as a whole fair to say Washington was still underrated
Speaker 1: in that they weren't taken seriously the whole way through.
Speaker 1: We got a couple weeks out from the playoff and
Speaker 1: people at least here on the East Coast were trying
Speaker 1: to find wayte to doubt Washington.
Speaker 2: And not their fault either. Not there if everybody they
Speaker 2: played had bad years, so they put seventy on everybody.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's just my team. Now as we turned the
Speaker 1: calendar to twenty seventeen, Look, there is virtually no reason
Speaker 1: to doubt this offense. Everybody is back outside John Ross.
Speaker 2: They did struggle once the talent level got higher. On defense,
Speaker 2: they did not throw the ball at all well against Colorado,
Speaker 2: which did certainly had NFL talent in the secondary. They
Speaker 2: didn't do all that much against USC, and they the
Speaker 2: offense struggled a ton upfront, especially against Alabama, which means
Speaker 2: they can go eleven and one again, he's without a
Speaker 2: doubt easily. But I don't know that they've gotten so
Speaker 2: much better on offense that they can they can overcome
Speaker 2: when they have to play Ohio State or Clemson or
Speaker 2: Florida State or even USC in the Pac twelve Championship
Speaker 2: game like that, to me is still very much an
Speaker 2: issue that it's just going to take a little bit
Speaker 2: more time to address. But here's the good news. Tie,
Speaker 2: here's the outstanding news. For as glitchy as the numbers
Speaker 2: that Jake Browning put up, certainly with the help of
Speaker 2: John Ross, but Jake Browning is one of the best
Speaker 2: five quarterbacks in the country, if not higher. This team
Speaker 2: was led by its defense and that's what came to
Speaker 2: play against everybody, and the fact that they do lose
Speaker 2: a ton of key pees in the secondary is concerning.
Speaker 2: But Taylor rap should step right in at safety and
Speaker 2: be outstanding. We saw him come on late. They get
Speaker 2: Azee Victor back who decided to come back after injury,
Speaker 2: and they have I think, without a doubt, the best
Speaker 2: inside defensive line duo in the conference through the Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: vide Vea and Greg Gaines are as good a duo
Speaker 2: as there is. So they're in a fantastic place. They
Speaker 2: need to sort of figure out pass rushers. But I
Speaker 2: love Pete is it Quitkowski something like that, the defensive
Speaker 2: coordinator who followed Chris Peterson from Boise. Yeah, it's outside
Speaker 2: of you know, the UCLA game and traveling to Stanford.
Speaker 2: Their road schedule is nothing because even going to Stanford,
Speaker 2: that's not a difficult place to play. It's not a
Speaker 2: hornet's nest as you like to say. So schedule is wonderful.
Speaker 1: Offense is loaded, front seven is loaded. Secondary has has
Speaker 1: some questions, a lot to replace back there. But yeah,
Speaker 1: the strength is a schedule. You got I think only
Speaker 1: one losable game at Stanford.
Speaker 2: Ty stop me. When we get to a team you're
Speaker 2: positive we'll score twenty points against Washington Okay, yep, at Rutgers, Montana,
Speaker 2: Fresno State at Colorado, Okay, just waiting there, at Oregon State,
Speaker 2: cal No, Okay, at Arizona State UCLA.
Speaker 1: Maybe, Okay, maybe, so.
Speaker 2: It took to Halloween to get to maybe a team
Speaker 2: scoring twenty points.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, it's.
Speaker 2: A good schedule again at Stanford, Utah Wazoo. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it's a very good schedule. I am gonna go twelve
Speaker 2: and ohero regular season. I don't know what happens when
Speaker 2: they play USC in the Pac twelve championship game. I'm
Speaker 2: inclined to go Washington at first glance, and I think
Speaker 2: maybe I'll stick with that. I could be swayed from
Speaker 2: that position, but I'm pretty high in this team. I
Speaker 2: like the fact that they have so much coming back
Speaker 2: on offense, and I still feel really good about about
Speaker 2: their defense. With the schedule that they've got before them,
Speaker 2: I don't feel like there are a whole lot of
Speaker 2: teams in there that can burn them through the air.
Speaker 2: I feel have them losing to either UCLA or on
Speaker 2: the road against Stanford.
Speaker 1: Yep, yep, I could see that. No USC on there though,
Speaker 1: That's that's a big thing. I'm high on Washington right now,
Speaker 1: one of my four playoff teams. Cool, let's go to Stanford.
Speaker 1: Talk to me about Stanley. Actually, you know what, so
Speaker 1: this show again go on up went it's it's Sunday morning.
Speaker 1: Oh my god, what a weekend. But there's still time
Speaker 1: left before work. Stanford will be one to know by
Speaker 1: the time people hear this. So off off the cuff.
Speaker 1: This is not prescripted. God, I want them to lose.
Speaker 1: Now off the cuff. Yeah, let's record record a game recap? Okay, sure, sure?
Speaker 1: Games in Australia. Three two Dan? You know on Saturday
Speaker 1: night or should I say Sunday morning? Down under? M
Speaker 1: H Stanford? Uh thirty eight? Rice ten Dan, really nice
Speaker 1: Stanford performance.
Speaker 2: I reckon It was a croc plotting down on that gest.
Speaker 1: Do they say reckon in Australia? I think so? I know.
Speaker 1: I know they call it Australia. I know that from
Speaker 1: the Foster's commercials when they said Australian for beer, right,
Speaker 1: But I'm terrible at doing accents, so I'm not gonna try.
Speaker 2: I think it's you. You replace the letter I with
Speaker 2: oh I. Oh that's where they're like, you call the
Speaker 2: add a noife.
Speaker 1: Humhmm. Yeah. I'm very bad at impressions. Can I be
Speaker 1: real with you for a second here, please, This is
Speaker 1: a real place, tie for real people. It's a little
Speaker 1: embarrassing to emit this before tens of thousands of people,
Speaker 1: But I believe that your raging, perpetual throbbing Stanford boner
Speaker 1: is officially contagious. How you getting a whiff? I don't
Speaker 1: know how I caught it from you? Oh? Man? I
Speaker 1: can you catch it from an Can you catch it
Speaker 1: from a handshake? Ty? You can catch it from a handy? Absolutely?
Speaker 1: No, no handshake? Different? Oh different, different thing? Yeah, it flies,
Speaker 1: tie it flies, man. I am in on the Cardinal
Speaker 1: this year. I am all in. What has you lathered up?
Speaker 1: First off? I love the fact that they've got an identity. Okay,
Speaker 1: they're gonna beat you up. They're gonna pound it down
Speaker 1: your throat. We're gonna set up play action and they're
Speaker 1: just gonna play defense, and they're gonna find a way
Speaker 1: to win nine or ten games. I love their defense
Speaker 1: this year. They're gonna be so difficult to move the
Speaker 1: football against up front. I'm a little worried, but they're
Speaker 1: tough to move the football against in the back seven
Speaker 1: at a minimum.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is all reasonable. I'm myself. I'm very high
Speaker 2: on Stanford. It mostly has to do with the defense.
Speaker 2: I think offensively, they'll be fine, but they may have
Speaker 2: the best linebacking corps in the conference unless you really
Speaker 2: believe in USC, and that's fine too, I'll accept that answer.
Speaker 2: Their secondary looks incredible. The offensive line is ridiculously deep,
Speaker 2: I know, a shocker to everybody. Bryce Love, as you mentioned,
Speaker 2: should be very good. You won't be Christian McCaffrey, but
Speaker 2: very few people are. If it's not Keller christ who's
Speaker 2: coming back from an injury, it'll be one of two
Speaker 2: blue chips waiting in the wings. The red shirt freshman's
Speaker 2: name is kJ Costello, who I know a lot of
Speaker 2: people are big on. They've got good receiving targets. They've
Speaker 2: bought like seven to five star tight ends battling it out.
Speaker 2: It feels like a very Stanford year. September is tough,
Speaker 2: and that's just what Stanford does. They lose a game
Speaker 2: in September and that's fine. They have USC on the road.
Speaker 2: Excuse me, in week two after the austral Well, I
Speaker 2: guess it's like two weeks after the Australia trip. Yeah,
Speaker 2: they have UCLA a couple of weeks later at San
Speaker 2: Diego State. I am not up to date on the Aztecs.
Speaker 2: I know don l Pumfrees gone. I also know that
Speaker 2: they had, for the most part, an excellent defense last year.
Speaker 2: They're not They're probably not going to lose to San
Speaker 2: Diego State, but it's on the road.
Speaker 1: It's in San Diego.
Speaker 2: Who knows, it's a it's a garbage stadium, so that
Speaker 2: could affect things. They Other than that, they're pack twelve
Speaker 2: schedule pretty great. They've Oregon at home, they have Washington
Speaker 2: at home, they have calum the big game at home,
Speaker 2: they travel to Utah, and they finish with Notre Dame
Speaker 2: at home. We will get to but I mean having
Speaker 2: two of the three best teams on their schedule at home.
Speaker 1: Fine, great. I feel ten and two. I or the
Speaker 1: losses USC week two. If you're going to get Stanford,
Speaker 1: get them early. I think a week two loss against
Speaker 1: USC at USC and then I think a against Washington
Speaker 1: in a war, a close game, a war. I feel
Speaker 1: better about what Washington has in terms of veteran leadership
Speaker 1: on their offense to get the job done. Okay, then
Speaker 1: I do Stanford, but I think that's a war of
Speaker 1: a game ten and two, ten and two regular season.
Speaker 2: Okay, now that'll be the the Washington offense against the
Speaker 2: Stanford defense will have to be a better performance from
Speaker 2: the Stanford defense this year. But there are a ton
Speaker 2: of upperclassmen on this Stanford defense, so it should be fun.
Speaker 1: Ten and two for me. Yeah, Wazoo, Dan, talk to
Speaker 1: me about Wazoo.
Speaker 2: Okay, Wazoo is the wild card team once again, and
Speaker 2: that's you know, that's Mike Leach's destiny is to keep
Speaker 2: producing the ultimate wild card. Although this Mike Leach team
Speaker 2: almost feels even Leachier than normal. They could run the
Speaker 2: ball like really well for an air raid team short
Speaker 2: of what West Virginia has done the past couple of years,
Speaker 2: and somewhat with with Oklahoma State. So here's my feeling
Speaker 2: about Wazoo. Luke Fawk somehow still in college. Yeah, God
Speaker 2: bless Van Wilder. Don't love the offensive line, love the
Speaker 2: trio of running backs. They lose a couple of big
Speaker 2: wide receivers, but they throw it to like seventy three
Speaker 2: dudes in a year, so that's not something I'm terribly
Speaker 2: concerned about. Defensively, guess what they have, Tye, Please try
Speaker 2: to guess.
Speaker 1: They've got a really good front seven and a really
Speaker 1: questionable secondary. I'm going to stop you right there. They've
Speaker 1: got a dude. Oh oh oh, who got who do
Speaker 1: we got? Who do we got? Pay it with me?
Speaker 1: Ty Hercules Mataafa Yeah him. So he is a complete terror.
Speaker 2: He rushes the quarterback extraordinarily well in that sort of
Speaker 2: rush and outside linebacker hybrid role that he plays in
Speaker 2: that Alex Grinch defense. He is so fun to watch
Speaker 2: and blocking him is it's more of a suggestion than
Speaker 2: it is a completion, and he is.
Speaker 1: He is that good.
Speaker 2: So Washington State, even with deficiencies in the back, like
Speaker 2: we mentioned, they terrorize backfields. They produce negative plays. Our
Speaker 2: friend Bill Connolly was writing about this in his preview,
Speaker 2: and if you are going to give up big plays,
Speaker 2: it's probably wise to be able to generate negative plays
Speaker 2: at the same time to balance things out and set
Speaker 2: yourself up for turnovers. In Washington State, for the most part,
Speaker 2: they struggled against the better teams on their schedule, but
Speaker 2: they took advantage of bad and struggling teams. I will
Speaker 2: the Oregon game almost hurt more than it did watching
Speaker 2: Oregon against Washington and Washington score seventy because this is
Speaker 2: Wazoo and I am a dumb, condescending Oregon fan. But
Speaker 2: my god, were they good in that game? So I
Speaker 2: like Wazoo. I have concerns that will lead to losses,
Speaker 2: but they're gonna be real fun again this year. Luke
Speaker 2: Fwawk is like, I don't know, somewhere over four thousand
Speaker 2: yards away from being a top five yardage quarterback in
Speaker 2: college football ever, so good for him.
Speaker 1: He could challenge five thousand yards this year. Who it's
Speaker 1: within reach. They return a lot, They return a lot,
Speaker 1: and I don't know if you mentioned it. If you,
Speaker 1: I apologize, I'm going to reiterate. Their front seven is
Speaker 1: surprisingly good and Mike Leach does this thing where he
Speaker 1: tries to get his defenses. They give up yards right,
Speaker 1: and the secondary this year, of course, is questionable, but
Speaker 1: they try to create negative plays and forced turnovers, and
Speaker 1: that's fun to watch as a fan. It's fun to
Speaker 1: watch because if they're making plays, they're big ones. So
Speaker 1: I'm excited about them. I'm feeling seven five, eight and
Speaker 1: four somewhere in that range. I'm I'm gonna go more
Speaker 1: eight and four than seven and five, though, Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think that's right. I'm good with that. Oregon State, Yeah,
Speaker 1: Oregon State went five and seven a year ago. I
Speaker 1: like their running back situation this year. I don't like
Speaker 1: their rush defense this year. I also don't like their schedule,
Speaker 1: which is extremely challenging. Otherwise though, I like what Gary
Speaker 1: Anderson's doing. I think he is positioning the Beavers quite
Speaker 1: well for the future. It's just gonna be a bit
Speaker 1: of a rebuilt.
Speaker 2: It's an impossible schedule, and you're right. Last year teams
Speaker 2: ran through Oregon's defensive line like they were a not
Speaker 2: even below average. They were a very poor red rover team.
Speaker 2: They were just they were not good at putting up
Speaker 2: the wall. Oregon State the talent level has certainly increased.
Speaker 2: Their backfield is totally underrated. They have probably one of
Speaker 2: the best two or three backfields and the conference. Ryan
Speaker 2: Knall is very good. Thomas Tyner, who you'll remember was
Speaker 2: a starter at Oregon a couple of years ago, retired,
Speaker 2: is back. They have I think a TCU transfer now there,
Speaker 2: so they should be able to move the ball if
Speaker 2: the offensive line improves. Jake Luton is the quarterback. He
Speaker 2: was at Idaho and then went to a JC and
Speaker 2: so he is sort of an unknown quantity. But they
Speaker 2: should incrementally improve. But yeah, as you were sort of
Speaker 2: alluding to, might not reflect on the final record. I
Speaker 2: don't think they're making a bowl game this year.
Speaker 1: Also, did you know that Jake Luton is six'? Seven
Speaker 1: is that? True that is one hundred percent. True, finally
Speaker 1: the new Brock osweiler on The west coast love. It.
Speaker 1: YEAH i Like Oregon state for the. Future tough schedule
Speaker 1: though this. Year. Yeah also in The pac Twelve, north
Speaker 1: let's go To. Cal cal's got a new. Coach they
Speaker 1: went five and seven a year. Ago they Hired Justin
Speaker 1: wilcox away From. Wisconsin, right he was their defensive. Coordinator,
Speaker 1: yep he went out and he Hired Bo, baldwin who
Speaker 1: was a NOTED fcs coach At Eastern. Washington, right that's. True.
Speaker 1: Yep the red field another situation where, DEFENSIVELY i think
Speaker 1: you got to ask. Questions their road schedule is extremely.
Speaker 1: Difficult they're just young across the. Board on, offense they've
Speaker 1: got an entirely new offensive. Line this is not going
Speaker 1: to Be cal's, year which gives me all the more
Speaker 1: reason to pick my. Dude, yeah my dude From, cal
Speaker 1: Gimme Demetrius Robertson dan Former Notre dame, commit hemmed and hawed,
Speaker 1: around eventually decided that he was going to go To.
Speaker 1: Cal not a bad place to. Be he had ninety,
Speaker 1: targets seven hundred and sixty seven yards and seven touchdowns
Speaker 1: a year. AGO i think he factors in in a
Speaker 1: big way on their. OFFENSE i just agree just Because
Speaker 1: i'm worried about quarterback for The Cal faris and that
Speaker 1: to us to throw him the ball.
Speaker 2: Tie i'm a little bit worried about a lot of
Speaker 2: things With cal's, offense BUT i think it'll eventually be all.
Speaker 2: Right there's some talent. THERE i also Like Melkie's stovall and, defensively,
Speaker 2: yes they're not where they were a couple of years
Speaker 2: ago in terms of it being a total dearth of.
Speaker 2: Talent the talent level certainly has. Increased it's not where
Speaker 2: it needs to be to start competing week, out weekend
Speaker 2: and week out in THE pac Twelve.
Speaker 1: North but The tim De ruter hire is very.
Speaker 2: Nice he comes over former head, Coach Bo, baldwin former head,
Speaker 2: coach SO i like what appears to be the stability
Speaker 2: and foundation for the. FUTURE i like the staff a whole.
Speaker 2: Lot Steve greatwood who was the long long Time oregon
Speaker 2: offensive line, coach takes over FOR, cal and you, know
Speaker 2: is very good at identifying talent that isn't necessarily blue
Speaker 2: chip coming out of high school but develops into high level.
Speaker 2: Players SO i think they did a really good job
Speaker 2: in terms of pointing the program in the right. Direction
Speaker 2: but this, year first of, all weird non conference. Schedule, Time,
Speaker 2: yeah At North, carolina then they Host Ole miss and
Speaker 2: that's a week BEFORE, usc and then they go To
Speaker 2: oregon and To Washington Washington state back at, Home so
Speaker 2: it's a Rough september and through Mid. OCTOBER i, guess
Speaker 2: and you, know what what we can get from THIS
Speaker 2: cal season because it's probably not going to make a bowl,
Speaker 2: Game but what we can get is what they look
Speaker 2: like near the end of the, year and if there's
Speaker 2: a spark of, this if there's a, oh a glimmer of,
Speaker 2: that that is what we can take. AWAY i think
Speaker 2: they're recruiting pretty well all things. Considered So i'm just
Speaker 2: in Late October, november let's see what potential looks like FOR.
Speaker 2: Cal and if there's some optimism there because of what
Speaker 2: happens later on in the, season that's.
Speaker 1: Great that's. Why that's why you get a good, Dude Demetrius.
Speaker 1: Robertson you got to give him something to look forward.
Speaker 1: To this is the he was the guy that was
Speaker 1: he the guy That Brian kelly. Like they drove the
Speaker 1: bus all day down To. Georgia, yep well it almost.
Speaker 1: Worked it almost. Worked it was a noble. EFFORT a
Speaker 1: lot of it was fun on social, media but he
Speaker 1: ultimately decided to go to. Call so we wish. Him
Speaker 1: whill had a good season last year and he is
Speaker 1: he is MY pac twelve.
Speaker 2: Dude good food At. Berkeley by the, way have you
Speaker 2: been To?
Speaker 1: Berkeley never?
Speaker 2: Been no Man chinese? Food you can eat Good mexican
Speaker 2: bake Sale betty for great fried.
Speaker 1: Chicken it's good. Food college. Town we got one team
Speaker 1: left here in the Package. North where is MY i
Speaker 1: do have a? Sound, oh oh my. God The Oregon, Ducks,
Speaker 1: dan part of the four and eight. Club, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.
Speaker 1: BILL i don't think people look at it as a.
Speaker 1: Club AND i will congratulate you, though for being the
Speaker 1: first person to tie Together oregon being The ducks and
Speaker 1: the video Game.
Speaker 2: Duck we've had that sound for three, Years, DAN i
Speaker 2: know for three. Years i'm still congratulating, You willie taggered
Speaker 2: after going four and. Eight getting rid Of Mark helfrich also,
Speaker 2: important though not as. Flashy we talked about it when
Speaker 2: we Mentioned, colorado but they did Bring Jim levitt over
Speaker 2: to coach their. Defense he will have his work cut
Speaker 2: out for, Him, dan because the defense was pretty damn
Speaker 2: bad last. Year, so big, PICTURE i Think oregon's doing
Speaker 2: very very good things and what they hired and what
Speaker 2: they are doing schematically with their offense and, defense and
Speaker 2: their return a promising young quarterback And Justin. Herbert the
Speaker 2: hires were. Great they're recruiting obviously very. WELL i think
Speaker 2: they're in the top, ten top, five. Whatever looking. Forward
Speaker 2: but we're talking about this, season and here's what we
Speaker 2: know About oregon this. Season Justin herbert should be pretty.
Speaker 2: Good he was playing behind a very experienced and what
Speaker 2: should be maybe the strength of the. Offense in the offensive,
Speaker 2: line they return four or five, starters Including Ryl crosby
Speaker 2: who's very good at left. Tackle they have a very
Speaker 2: good running back In Royce freeman who could Set oregon,
Speaker 2: records and a couple really good guys behind. Him their
Speaker 2: week at receiver and that was made weaker By Darren
Speaker 2: carrington being kicked off the, team so they will be
Speaker 2: working in a lot of. Youth the number one receiver
Speaker 2: will probably be looks Like Dylan, mitchell who was a
Speaker 2: big promising kid From tennessee a couple of years. Ago
Speaker 2: the problem is they have the capability of being very
Speaker 2: good on offense because of those. Players they really, do
Speaker 2: and if you look at the efficiency, numbers it tells
Speaker 2: a story of they should be able to score forty
Speaker 2: plus points per. Game the problem is you take the
Speaker 2: good with the. Bat as we talked about on OUR
Speaker 2: sec preview With, arkansas this defense is at least a
Speaker 2: year away from being respectable because talent, wise it's not.
Speaker 2: There they infuse the defensive line with A clemson transfer
Speaker 2: In Scott. PAGANO i, THINK i know they got ANOTHER
Speaker 2: jc guy in recently who had been committed To missouri last.
Speaker 2: Minute but they have a really good linebacker and the
Speaker 2: secondary is gonna be pretty rough. Again they're gonna try
Speaker 2: to work in some younger, guys but playing Against Jake,
Speaker 2: browning playing Against Josh, ROSEN i think they miss usc
Speaker 2: but even still they're gonna give up. Points so if
Speaker 2: they Are bowl, eligible WHICH i think they should. BE
Speaker 2: i think they're in like six and, six seven and five. Range,
Speaker 2: yeah if they get to that, point you'll be hearing
Speaker 2: a lot OF i barely survived that. Call, YEAH i
Speaker 2: sort of got. Akil that's any good. POINT i can't
Speaker 2: do it. Anymore are You are you going to be
Speaker 2: staying up for these late?
Speaker 1: Games? Yeah, PROBABLY i mean it.
Speaker 2: DEPENDS i didn't stay up for the second half of
Speaker 2: The cow game last, year And i'm kind of GLAD i.
Speaker 2: Didn't but it's it's gonna be forty nine to forty
Speaker 2: five's one way or the. Other, Right it just it's
Speaker 2: gonna be a very big twelve year For. Oregon you
Speaker 2: Got Royce freeman to. Watch though he's exciting Have Royce.
Speaker 2: Freeman there's some some fron freshmen coming in and hopefully
Speaker 2: defensively they at least show off show up in three four,
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.
Speaker 1: Nelson he's a maddening, player by the, way so maybe just.
Speaker 1: Half then he's a player that if he were On Notre.
Speaker 2: Dame outside Of Notre dame, fans people would be, like,
Speaker 2: oh he's pretty. Fun he played on, defense. Offense they
Speaker 2: use him in a variety of. Ways but if you
Speaker 2: watch Every oregon game With Charles, nelson you're, like will
Speaker 2: you please just stop dropping?
Speaker 1: Pons? Yeah please, please please?
Speaker 2: Please and, so, yeah he's sort of, madding but when
Speaker 2: he is, on he is he is really.
Speaker 1: Fun he's. GOOD i also Workshopped Tony Brooks james As
Speaker 1: TONY bj But i'm deciding against that. ONE a little
Speaker 1: two mobster just not not. Suitable Tony brooks. Flames, oh
Speaker 1: he averaged like seven or eight yards per carry last.
Speaker 1: YEAR i do like. IT i do like.
Speaker 2: Him he's built in sort of the More Michael, James
Speaker 2: Kenyon barner. Mold, okay so we're feeling six and, six
Speaker 2: seven and.
Speaker 1: Five will he? TECH i think. So, yeah it'll be
Speaker 1: a very big twelve year For. Oregon one of the
Speaker 1: fantasy things that we did not draft Is Willie taggart's
Speaker 1: connection To Jim harball and The harbor. Fam the fact
Speaker 1: that he's kind of a de Facto. Harrball he played
Speaker 1: At Western kentucky Under Jack. Harball for four years he

Speaker 2: yeah there's something about the combination and if this Is
Speaker 2: stanford pending the defensive line coming, together that to me
Speaker 2: is a huge question given who they have on their.
Speaker 2: Schedule BUT i love the defense other than, that and
Speaker 2: love the lineup front and. OFFENSE i Like bryce LOVE
Speaker 2: i the pass catching targets are. THERE i Like David.
Speaker 2: SHAW i like the, continuity keeping the coordinators In bloomgren

Speaker 1: boys at the solid verbal are Talking Notre dame. Football
Speaker 1: you're in a room by, Yourself, Dan no one buys, It.
Speaker 1: Joe people are actually anymore type.
Speaker 2: People SO i was in that booth in the old
Speaker 2: studio and it was you, know generally on the weekend
Speaker 2: or after. Work but there is now a even Though
Speaker 2: i'm in mostly a soundproof, room it's probably like ninety percent,
Speaker 2: soundproof there is a window in the, door and people
Speaker 2: do walk, by so there's a good possibility that When
Speaker 2: i'm Yelling, grandpa somebody could walk by and be very,
Speaker 2: confused which is.
Speaker 1: Great so you may have heard That Notre dame went
Speaker 1: four and eight last, year also part of the four
Speaker 1: and eight, Club. Dan in case you ever forget What
Speaker 1: Notre dame's record, was you can just ask our dear
Speaker 1: Friend Matt brown over at your, Website. Espionation more than,
Speaker 1: That matt's a good. Dude he just wrote a, Book
Speaker 1: go buy. IT i admire truly the tenacity with which
Speaker 1: he's committed himself to this joke because he's still riding
Speaker 1: the wave and dog you need the patience of a
Speaker 1: dead horse for it to Be august and still talking
Speaker 1: About Notre dame going four to. Eight, yes SO i
Speaker 1: hope for his sake When Notre dame starts the year
Speaker 1: one to zero that you just have enough content to
Speaker 1: sustain through to come up with new jokes things like.
Speaker 2: THAT i like that we are Criticizing Matt brown and anybody.
Speaker 1: Else i'm not. Criticizing i'm saying that.
Speaker 2: Criticizing we are bringing Up we are alluding to the
Speaker 2: fact that people like remembering their record beating a dead,
Speaker 2: horse whereas years now the making fun Of Notre dame
Speaker 2: fans as being old and out of. Touch we ourselves
Speaker 2: and you're included with, this even though you don't do.
Speaker 2: It this is a show that we traffic in dead.
Speaker 2: Horses oh, yeah oh, yeah. Yeah so we are self.
Speaker 2: Aware it might be not, funny but we're self. Aware
Speaker 2: the horse sound itself is a dead horse in this. Program,
Speaker 2: yeah shout out To brandon. McKissick we were that's right last.
Speaker 2: Year here's HOW i.
Speaker 1: Feel last. Year it was truly a combination of factors
Speaker 1: that led to four and. Eight the frustrating part is
Speaker 1: that it was never all the factors at. Once so
Speaker 1: as a, fan you always had this glimmer of. Hope you,
Speaker 1: know the offense looks, good but the defense is. Terrible
Speaker 1: defense looks, good but the offense can't move the. Ball
Speaker 1: it goes a lot deeper than, that And Notre dame
Speaker 1: found themselves in a bunch of close games where there
Speaker 1: was a glimmer of, hope and then they lost most
Speaker 1: of them and it was just a. Mess but it
Speaker 1: was a better team than the record would. Indicate you
Speaker 1: talk to anybody who looks at the, stats and of
Speaker 1: course the games are not played on. Paper But Notre
Speaker 1: dame was a better team than four and eight last.
Speaker 1: Year it just it didn't. MATERIALIZE a lot went. Wrong,
Speaker 1: WELL i take everything back this, year there is a
Speaker 1: lot of reason for. Optimism they're loaded at running back
Speaker 1: With Josh adams And Dexter williams And Tony jones junior
Speaker 1: is red shirt freshman who could get some work In
Speaker 1: chiplong's new. Offense they've also got about ten options out,
Speaker 1: wide including including my Boy Ekwanimia Saint. Brown, dan he's a,
Speaker 1: big tall wide. Out you might have heard of. Him
Speaker 1: you selected a. Dude oh, no you? OKAY i was
Speaker 1: going to say you selected a dude from your own.
Speaker 1: Team he's an independent. Duartson, yeah, okay an independent. Dude
Speaker 1: you mentioned a nickname For Equinemias Saint BROWN.
Speaker 2: Eq is that not okay? Anymore could you please repeat
Speaker 2: that back for the JURY. Q with that in, Mind,
Speaker 2: dan you know Where i'm going with.
Speaker 1: This, God i've been it's been inside, me it's been threatening,
Speaker 1: Me dan for weeks on. END i thought about this
Speaker 1: one in the car ride up to our live, show
Speaker 1: The minister of underwhelming. Nicknames, OH i am so excited
Speaker 1: FOR eq to give opposing defenses so much trouble you know? What?
Speaker 2: Ty hell, yeah hell, yeah Because i'm also looking at
Speaker 2: an equalizer right, Now SO i.
Speaker 1: Am i'm with. It. Ty we are on the same
Speaker 1: team with that. One the potential here for audio jokes
Speaker 1: for a guy NICKNAMED. Eq maybe my own college football. Singularity,
Speaker 1: yeah and.
Speaker 2: If Brandon wimbush isn't any. Good you could see him
Speaker 2: being the victim of a high pass.
Speaker 1: Right maybe a base defense will be a little too
Speaker 1: much fun A we're very bad at what we. Do
Speaker 1: there's no limited on this. OFFENSE i. Disagree literally every
Speaker 1: audio term could be applied. Here, Equinemias Saint. Brown it's
Speaker 1: not just. Him they've got a lot of options out.
Speaker 1: Wide Cam smith is a transfer who comes over From Arizona.
Speaker 1: State right, now it looks like he's gonna be the
Speaker 1: number two. Guy a lot of talent to work, with
Speaker 1: not just at wide out but at tight, end both
Speaker 1: With durham Smythe Alise. Mack they've got a really good
Speaker 1: line led By Quentin, Nelson mike mcglinchy on the left.
Speaker 2: Side is it not Alais A jones? Anymore It's Alise.
Speaker 2: Mack hell, YEAH i like. That keep me on my.
Speaker 1: Toes he returns from academic suspension a year. Ago the
Speaker 1: big question Is Brandon wimbush and how he's going to.
Speaker 1: Perform not enough is being mentioned about the game of
Speaker 1: three dimensional chess That Brandon wimbusch found himself in waiting
Speaker 1: out the murky quarterback situation Between Shaun kaiser And emilik'sayer
Speaker 1: they both. Left now he gets two.
Speaker 2: Years he gets two. Years and so we're talking two new,
Speaker 2: coordinators a new, quarterback a newly at peace and yoga
Speaker 2: meister head Coach kelly WHO i think the, Latest and
Speaker 2: we actually have a page a running list of People
Speaker 2: Brian kelly has blamed for. Things the newest thing is
Speaker 2: last year he blamed the time he had to spend on. Fundraising,
Speaker 2: correct that's the new. Thing, okay it's, Tough, honestly it
Speaker 2: is tough to keep. Track but, Yes Notre dame has
Speaker 2: to be better this. Year but it is a challenge
Speaker 2: because Now Notre dame hasn't in a, while at least
Speaker 2: it hasn't felt like they've had a guy who has
Speaker 2: been like savior part of the you, know illusion because
Speaker 2: Of Notre. Dame but it was, Like Notre dame is
Speaker 2: going to be fine because they have this big armed
Speaker 2: quarterback And Brandon wimbush and they're starting over with a
Speaker 2: lot of talent on. Offense But wimbush is the. Guy
Speaker 2: how do you feel about?
Speaker 1: That, NO i, MEAN i don't think he's earned, That.
Speaker 2: But isn't that like the sort of you know he
Speaker 2: no doubt about its, starter and the hope to like
Speaker 2: at least turn this team into an eight win team
Speaker 2: is on.
Speaker 1: Him it is on. Him it is on. Him, thankfully
Speaker 1: it's not all on. Him he's got enough of a
Speaker 1: supporting cast that if he's just fair To, midland they
Speaker 1: should still find a way to win seven or eight. Games,
Speaker 1: OKAY i have got a great offensive line in front of.
Speaker 1: HIM i love Mcglenchean. NELSON a great offensive line defensively
Speaker 1: is also a story worth. Mentioning can't focus entirely on
Speaker 1: the offense because they did Bring Mike elko over to
Speaker 1: be defensive coordinator From. Wake he will find a way
Speaker 1: to pressure the quarterback even if there is some turnover up.
Speaker 1: Front the reports out of practice For Notre dame is
Speaker 1: that they're missing fewer. Tackles, now, again it's only. Practice
Speaker 1: read into that however deeply you'd like, to But Notre
Speaker 1: dame has really had an issue with that over the
Speaker 1: last couple of. Seasons missing, tackles guys running through. Tackles
Speaker 1: all the fancy stats that we talk about don't Mean
Speaker 1: jack if he can't tackle on. Defense if they get
Speaker 1: better in that singular, RESPECT i will feel much much
Speaker 1: better about where this defense is. HEADED i don't like
Speaker 1: that they Lose Isaac rochelle And Jaron jones along the,
Speaker 1: line BUT i think otherwise they should be. Fine.
Speaker 2: TYE i love the optimism of sort of talking about
Speaker 2: practice reports that they're better at tackling their own.
Speaker 1: Team they're better at tackling for and eight is Where
Speaker 1: i'm coming. From it's Where i'm coming. From EVEN i
Speaker 1: didn't say, that, Well i'm saying it for. You forny
Speaker 1: is Where i'm coming. From that's my starting. Point there's
Speaker 1: nowhere to go but. Up, yeah they're really taking it
Speaker 1: to the scout. Team, really they're looking like national championship.
Speaker 2: Contenders eight's the scound four eight and. Four, yeah that's.
Speaker 2: Fine the schedule is such where there really isn't are
Speaker 2: there like difficult.
Speaker 1: RUNS i don't think there. Are it's everything pretty evenly.
Speaker 1: BALANCED i think.
Speaker 2: They van the season in a tough way going To Miami,
Speaker 2: navy who is just. Listen even as with as much
Speaker 2: As navy has, lost they are they're. Tricky Notre name's
Speaker 2: on a losing streak against The, midshipman and then they
Speaker 2: go To, stanford so it's a tough way to finish
Speaker 2: the schedule. Out but if This Notre dame team has
Speaker 2: their head on screwed screwed on, properly then they'll be
Speaker 2: fine and they'll win seven or, eight maybe nine games
Speaker 2: if if everything comes together And Brandon wimbush is What
Speaker 2: Notre dame fans really do believe he. Is, yeah middle
Speaker 2: of the, Schedule Boston, College Michigan, State Miami North. CAROLINA
Speaker 2: i mean that's the sort of Mid september Early october
Speaker 2: BEFORE usc AND Nc, state which is a tricky one
Speaker 2: two ty, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah it's IT'S i think
Speaker 2: both of those games are In South bend, Though, right that's,
Speaker 2: Correct all, right that's good.
Speaker 1: Enough but that is that's. Tough so it's. Tough it'll
Speaker 1: be a challenging. Schedule it's pretty solid the full way.
Speaker 1: THROUGH a lot does fall On, wimbush But i'm glad
Speaker 1: that it all is not falling on. Him i'm glad
Speaker 1: that he's got a decent supporting. Cast, yes without a,
Speaker 1: doubt And durham smythe is a wonderful. Name give, me
Speaker 1: stop me when we get to a team that you're
Speaker 1: not sixty percent. Sure Notre dame can can beat not sixty? Percent? Sure?
Speaker 1: Okay so you are, yeah forty percent or? Less? Sure?
Speaker 1: Okay Temple, Georgia yeah that's.
Speaker 2: Fair, Yeah Boston college on the road At Michigan, State, Miami,
Speaker 2: ohio At North.
Speaker 1: CAROLINA i feel like they should be able to Beat North.
Speaker 1: Carolina the. Show they should be able to Beat North. Carolina.
Speaker 1: Yeah North carolina is doing a major overhaul this.
Speaker 2: Year it could be monsoon season, though tie crap we
Speaker 2: saw last year Crap STATE Usc.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah that's that's a no. BRAINER Nc state on
Speaker 1: the Border Wake.
Speaker 2: Wake should be beatable again At miami another possible monsoon.
Speaker 2: Game another Possible that, Game Notre, dame that Game Star,
Speaker 2: high that game scares.
Speaker 1: Me, navy you feel like they've got their act. Together
Speaker 1: they should be able to Be. Navy. Okay and on
Speaker 1: the road Against. STANFORD i feel like that is Definitely
Speaker 1: stanford a week After navy is not a good.
Speaker 2: Look oh that's, right the Post navy body, blow the
Speaker 2: Post navy.
Speaker 1: Drip.
Speaker 2: Pooh you know, what, ty do you have our full
Speaker 2: soundboard capability at your disposal right?
Speaker 1: NOW i? Do? Okay you? Ready?
Speaker 2: YEAH i don't know what the spread is going to
Speaker 2: be At stanford For Notre dame lock up the cardinal form.
Speaker 1: Lock of the. WEEK i think that's totally, fair totally.
Speaker 2: All, right just making sure it Is august twenty fourth
Speaker 2: when we're recording. It we just peeled back that layer
Speaker 2: of the Scheduling onion.
Speaker 1: At Miami november, Eleventh navy On november, eighteenth and then At.
Speaker 1: Stanford so the punch Of, Miami navy And stanford to
Speaker 1: end the year is pretty, challenging to be quite. Honest
Speaker 1: and we'll be a test.
Speaker 2: If we're going to stretch it out even. LONGER USC
Speaker 2: Nc State Wake. Forest they should win one or two
Speaker 2: of those games still body bull potential and all three of. Them,
Speaker 2: yeah those are that's it looks like in The navy's
Speaker 2: defense probably is going to be, wonderful but it's still
Speaker 2: going to be. Tough that's six straight just, DIFFICULTIES i would,
Speaker 2: say all, Right.
Speaker 1: So there you have, it eight and. Four eight and
Speaker 1: four is my. Prediction, yeah what's your playoff? Prediction? Dan
Speaker 1: oh my?
Speaker 2: God what did what did it show? Up on the
Speaker 2: live show we did For Espian. Nation my four random
Speaker 2: teams were Like, FLORIDA usc, Okay so in Actuality it'll Be,
Speaker 2: Stanford Ohio, State, Alabama Florida state BECAUSE i think the
Speaker 2: The Ohio State oklahoma game will Eliminate oklahoma BECAUSE i
Speaker 2: think they lose a game in conference as.
Speaker 1: Well we've got one team. DIFFERENT i agree On, BAMA
Speaker 1: i agree In Florida, STATE i agree On Ohio. State
Speaker 1: i'm gonna Go washington instead Of. Stanford Those, therefore what
Speaker 1: is a team right? Now And i'm loading the rankings.
Speaker 1: Up what is a team right now that is outside
Speaker 1: of the top twenty. Five we've sort of talked about this,
Speaker 1: before and you can take a second to load it.
Speaker 1: Up that will finish in the top, fifteen top. Fifteen,
Speaker 1: wow here are the others receiving, VOTES, Tcu, Utah Notre,
Speaker 1: Dame Boise, STATE Nc, State Northwestern, Pittsburgh, Oregon. Oregon what
Speaker 1: THE Nc state And utah are two that are intriguing to.
Speaker 1: Me Notre. DAME i am inclined to say they're a
Speaker 1: top twenty five. Team they're gonna be a top twenty five,
Speaker 1: Team but will they finish in the top. FIFTEEN i
Speaker 1: think that's a red herring because they've finished up With.
Speaker 1: Stanford as we just, mentioned that's probably a loss so
Speaker 1: that would cause them to. Drop SO i think the
Speaker 1: answer is from MERE Nc state In. Utah you know, What.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go To utah. Here, Yeah i'm gonna agree with.
Speaker 1: You so, look that does it for our twenty seventeen conference.
