1
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: I know what Mama said. I know you don't have

2
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: to remind me. Wise men make observations in a week one.

3
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: Foolish men draw conclusions in week one.

4
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: But Mema, I may.

5
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: Have to be a fool tonight because I saw a

6
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 1: lot yesterday and I don't think I need to wait

7
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: another three or four weeks long. Just candidly, I think

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: I know who Florida is. Candidly, I think Oregon is

9
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: sol if they can't get.

10
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: A lot corrected.

11
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: I am looking at Michigan and I think they're skating

12
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,279
Speaker 1: on thin ice with hot blades. The Big Ten in

13
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: general seems a little hazy to me. So all that

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: plus Clemson and Florida get absolutely pansed.

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 2: Welcome in. Yeah, Josh Pace College Football Show is live.

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: We're jampacked high top of fairly rainy downtown Nashville, Tennessee, Sunday,

17
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 1: September first, the Year of Our Lord, twenty twenty four. Yes,

18
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: we were on the road yesterday, slight sunburn. Our friends

19
00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: at Florida kept me indoors as long as they could,

20
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: so it's not as bad as it could have been.

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: But I saw what Miami did. I saw via television

22
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: what Georgia did. I've got some thoughts on Billy Napier,

23
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: I've got some thoughts on Daboswenty, I've got thoughts on

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: pretty much every big game we saw yesterday. What a

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: gut check for Notre Dame last night on the road

26
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: College Station. Now there's something that's about to happen with

27
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: Notre Dame that a lot of you accuse people like

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: me of, but I'm almost never guilty of it. However, however,

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: your arguments are not without merit because some of our

30
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: fine friends and the esteemed college football sports media apparatus

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: not apparati, which is plural, of course, they're just one.

32
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: They're about to be guilty of it. So we're gonna

33
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: keep an eye. We're gonna keep an eye on things.

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: I have got our week two whole New Saturday to

35
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:48,559
Speaker 1: our destination coming up tonight.

36
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 2: We've got a lot to get to. We've got tons

37
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: to react to.

38
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 1: And then we got LSU and USC kicking off in

39
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: like an hour and a half or so, which is

40
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: why we started the show early. They're watching us in Spartanburg,

41
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: South Carolina, Orlando, Florida, Billings, my Tana, Grandbury, Texas. Thank

42
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: you guys so much. If you're not following, especially over

43
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 1: on Instagram, you missed like a metric ton of behind

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: the scenes stuff yesterday. I mean, we're on the sideline

45
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: the entire afternoon, but we also get a lot of

46
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: access that you wouldn't get otherwise. And I show you

47
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: as much as I possibly can. Can't show you everything

48
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: we get to see, but I show you as much

49
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: as I can. At Lake Kick Josh still until further

50
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: notice is the name of the handle over on Instagram.

51
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: Some of it's still up right now. Actually, if you

52
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: want to go take a look at it, just do

53
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: it after the show. Okay, we got all kind of

54
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: different directions to go. Our Sunday shows are even more

55
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: jam packed than our usual shows in the fall. So

56
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: let's dive in. Miami forty one, Florida seventeen. Are you serious?

57
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: That was the final score of this on a scale

58
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: of one to five. Chaali, This game was a two

59
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: chaw live special. We're giving this one two chaave supremacy

60
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: on a scale of one to five, and I'll tell

61
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: you why because it was a splattering and no splattering

62
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: at least in my mind. Can garner four or five Chili.

63
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: This I think is the beginning. And I hate to

64
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: speak in hyperbole, so I'm just being real with you.

65
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: I think what we saw yesterday in Gainesville is the

66
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: beginning of a chain reaction for both programs headed in

67
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: very different directions. So we came into this game having

68
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 1: heard all spring and all summer both programs believed that

69
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: they had taken significant steps towards taking the next step.

70
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: I sat down with both these head coaches. We were

71
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: at both of these programs. We did live shows from

72
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: both of these CAMPI plural of campus, and so we

73
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: heard similar.

74
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 2: Things from both programs.

75
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: One of the great unknowns going into Saturday was which

76
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: one would end up being right now, there is a

77
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: scenario where this thing's just twenty one to nineteen and

78
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: it's kind of ugly, and you come out saying, well,

79
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: I don't really know. I mean, so and so won

80
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: the game, but I don't really know. But friends, you know,

81
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: when it looks like it did yesterday, and frankly, when

82
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: it could be a lot worse than it was yesterday,

83
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: I think, you know. So we do a little something

84
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: around here. It brings me no joy. That's why it's sad.

85
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: But we have something that we have to drop on you.

86
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: When things get so emphatic in a game, what we

87
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: do is we popped the paper. We have our first

88
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: Sarah McLaughlin Special of the year. Forty one to seventeen,

89
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: Miami over Florida. Here it is Crank the Music, Sarah.

90
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: Largest Florida home loss in nearly a decade. Miami doubled

91
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: them up in total yards, five sixty nine to two

92
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: sixty one. Miami had ten passes of twenty plus yards,

93
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: Florida had zero. Florida allowed scores on six of the

94
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: opening eight drives in this game. And what's worse, the swamp,

95
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: which was supposed to be a deciding factor, was actually

96
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: a non factor. Miami was heavily represented there. That's pretty

97
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: much all that was left midway through the fourth quarter.

98
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: And then you have.

99
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: Cam Ward, who most recently played his college for ball

100
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: in the remote Pacific Northwest and a conference that doesn't

101
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: even exist anymore, come into your building, drop anything he

102
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: wants to on you, and then at the end tell

103
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: you that the crowd noise they pumped in practice was

104
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: louder than your building. And having been at the Miami

105
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: practice recently and having been on the field for this

106
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: game yesterday. Sadly, he's right, he's not wrong about that.

107
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: So that's the way it went. That's the way it went.

108
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: Miami had fifty five or sixty in their bag if

109
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: they needed it in this game. Something I never thought

110
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: i'd be saying. Picked Miami to win, picked Miami to cover,

111
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: not by this many points. I never expected the physical mismatch.

112
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: You know, there are games sometimes to get really lopsided,

113
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: and it's because the other team was minus four turnovers

114
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 1: and twenty one of your points were non offensive.

115
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: We've seen those kind of games before.

116
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: We've seen games that get out of hand where we

117
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: tell ourselves if this were to happen again, if this

118
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: game were played again, I don't think many people in

119
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: games will want this one played again. You saw an

120
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: outcome that was definitive. You saw an outcome that was absolute,

121
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: a great big exclamation mark on the end of both

122
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: questions for both programs. You had questions in the positive

123
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: and negative about Miami, and now all the negatives are

124
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: rased and the absolute opposite is true about Florida. But

125
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: I go back to what was it, late winter, early spring?

126
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: I guess it was whenever the headlines dropped that cam

127
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,919
Speaker 1: Ward was transferring to Miami and he wasn't going to

128
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: the draft. Miami just goes all in on this season.

129
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: But I remember, Jesse, remember we took a question we

130
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: were doing like a mail bag, and we made a

131
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: big deal obviously of cam Ward committing to Miami, because

132
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: it was a big deal, But we took a mail

133
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: bag and there was one of our viewers who said,

134
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 1: you really think one player is going to change a program?

135
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: I think one player changed the program. So yeah, I

136
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: was telling you then and I'm telling you now, one

137
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: player changed the program. Now, one player does not make

138
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: the program. But if you don't think the right guy

139
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,559
Speaker 1: at quarterback can change the fortunes of a program, you're high.

140
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 1: Have you not watched this sport? Do you understand? I mean,

141
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: what a guy like Cam Newton did at Auburn. That

142
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: is a sea of mediocrity. Those are several mediocre seasons

143
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: and then cam Ward just or Cam Newton just plops

144
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 1: in there wins a national title, and then he's gone

145
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: and Auburn fades.

146
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: Back into mediocrity for a little while.

147
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: One player at that position is worth everything, And I

148
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: want you to think about the plight of let's say

149
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: Shannon Dawson, the offensive coordinator there, who last year was

150
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: the same exact guy he is now. Last year wanted

151
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 1: to call the same exact plays he wants to call

152
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: this year. It's not like he's evolved seventy five percent

153
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 1: of his football thinking. However, last year, all due respect,

154
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: he was working with Tyler van Dijk and turnovers were

155
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: a big issue. And this year he's got cam Ward

156
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: plopped in his lap. And that's like, you know, going

157
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: from Super Nintendo to Xbox or whatever you guys want

158
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: to play, it's a whole different game. You look like

159
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 1: a genius if you're Shannon Dawson. He's got to be

160
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 1: sitting there thinking, you know, if I had this guy

161
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: last year, I could have done some of this stuff

162
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: last year. The entire program was not surprised by yesterday. Now,

163
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: there is a follow up to this about Miami that

164
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get back to in a little while after

165
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: I talked about Napier and Florida. But this was expected.

166
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: So sometimes folks expect stuff and it doesn't happen. So

167
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: it's not like when you expect to win, you automatically win.

168
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: But having been around the program a little while, I

169
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: can tell you there was no shock that they expected

170
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: all summer to go in there and do what they did.

171
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: Here's the difference, though.

172
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: The difference is most of the public didn't because most

173
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: of the public doubts that coaching staff. Most of the

174
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: public doubts the big game ability of the program. And

175
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: you got reason to feel that way because you've seen

176
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: the program fall flat on its face for the better

177
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 1: part of this millennium. That's a premorial Christoball thing.

178
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: Man. They have not won.

179
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: They have not had a season where they had fewer

180
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: than three loss since they joined the ACC, which is

181
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: just a mind boggling stat because that goes back to

182
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: two thousand and four. But anyway, for once, for once,

183
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: if you want to hype Miami up, you've actually got

184
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: reason to do it. Nothing was accomplished yesterday. They're still

185
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: oh and O in conference play. But if you didn't

186
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: understand what you were looking at, if you were listening

187
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: to this game on the radio, there was nothing flukeish

188
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: about it. And the physical disparity was just jarring to

189
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: me because.

190
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 2: Florida's got good athletes.

191
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: Florida is not a poverty recruiter by any stretch of

192
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: the imagination. But it's very obvious Miamis are better. And

193
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: it's very obvious that. I mean, look, this is an

194
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: untrained eye talking now, But once they've gotten on campus,

195
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: what Miami's done with their guys put them in a

196
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:49,959
Speaker 1: lot better position to be ready to compete at a

197
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,520
Speaker 1: high level than Florida's was yesterday. Which brings me to

198
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: the Gators. Billion Napier is now eleven and fifteen in

199
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: his career at Florida. They've got a six game losing

200
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: streak right now. So the stance I've taken on Billy

201
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: Napier is in the stance I've taken on Florida is

202
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 1: I think Florida is a machine that is.

203
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: Built to win.

204
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: Florida is some place that, for periods of time in

205
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 1: recent history thought they were all in on football.

206
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 2: But they weren't all in on football.

207
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: They weren't all in relative to Alabama and Georgia per se.

208
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: And then they got more serious about football to the

209
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: degree you have to be to compete at the highest

210
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 1: level in the SEC. And so now when you go

211
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: down there, as I told you guys over the spring

212
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: and summer. Now, when you go down there, you got

213
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: the right folks, and you've got an army of them,

214
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: and you've got great resources. You've got great facilities, medicals,

215
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: next level there, it's incredible. Some stuff I can't even spell,

216
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: much less i've heard of. However, it takes the right

217
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: guy with his hands on the wheel, and so I

218
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: thought it was totally fair. I thought the stance was

219
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: totally fair to give him into his third year.

220
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: I thought it was totally fair.

221
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: Like when we sat down with him in the spring,

222
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: I thought it was totally fair when he said we

223
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:09,079
Speaker 1: felt like we were on a little bit of a

224
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 1: construction site for the first two years, but now entering

225
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: year three, we like where it is now. I'm paraphrasing

226
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: Billy Napier is in my words, it doesn't matter what

227
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: I think about Florida. I'm not the head coach there.

228
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: He thought they had themselves in a good position. They

229
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: thought they had made significant to in some cases quantum

230
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: leaps of improvement, not in any one particular position group,

231
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: but across the board, like the aggregate in totality. The

232
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: product was going to be a lot better this year.

233
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: And then yesterday happened and it's a result that leaves

234
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 1: little to the imagination. You know, again, if it's a

235
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,680
Speaker 1: close loss, it was supposed to be a close game.

236
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: So if it's a.

237
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: Close loss, it sucks, and there'd still be negative headlines today,

238
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: but it wouldn't be like this. There was this hollow

239
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: sort of hope that the fan base had. They were

240
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: totally willing to be all in for the season, but

241
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: it was kind of hollow. You could feel it yesterday

242
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: because it lasted about a quarter and then when Miami

243
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: took the lead, there was an energy.

244
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 2: You can feel it.

245
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: It's unmistakable if you're in a building where the home

246
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: crowd is doubting its team. There's no mistaking that if

247
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 1: you've ever been in this place when.

248
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 2: It's full throat.

249
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 1: Yesterday paled in comparison to what Ben Hill Griffin stadiums

250
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: like at full throat. And that's because the hope was

251
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: very hollow. People had doubts. They were willing, they were

252
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: willing to buy in, they were willing to give benefit

253
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: of the doubt, but they had their doubts, and their

254
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: doubts were verified in the worst way. Imaginable close losses

255
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: one thing blowout to another thing. And what is concerning

256
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: Slash maybe inevitable feeling to me is there's this threshold

257
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: past which you can't come back because you've lost a

258
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: critical mass of your support. And at that point, it

259
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if your process would have worked if it

260
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: were given time, because, whether you like it or not,

261
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 1: the amount of time, the right amount of time in

262
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: this sport is never going to be more than three

263
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: years at a major program. And the reason is because

264
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: there are too many means at your disposal to quickly

265
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: overhaul your roster, and there are too many examples of

266
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 1: other guys having done it quickly.

267
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:18,959
Speaker 2: You can like that or not like that. That's the

268
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: name of the game.

269
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: Your buyout's really really big to give you a safety

270
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: net in exchange for accepting that. That's part of the game.

271
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: And so now I listened to Billy Napers press conference

272
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 1: last night and he said what he could say, But

273
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: the fact that they were as stunned, and I do

274
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: believe they were stunned at the outcome as they were.

275
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: It kind of goes back to what we were talking

276
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 1: about a little bit with Florida State the week before.

277
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 1: You know, Florida State, a lot of the vibes you

278
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: got from their camp is one thing, and then the

279
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: result is such another thing that forget about you as

280
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: a fan being shot. The staff is shot, the staff

281
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: is stunned, and when your soul searching in week two

282
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: of them football season, you don't normally find anything you're

283
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: gonna like.

284
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 2: So I.

285
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: Believe, like I said, both programs probably had themselves begin

286
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: a chain reaction yesterday that will go in very.

287
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 2: Very opposite directions.

288
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: But see the thing about Miami is I think they're

289
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: the class of the acc but they got a whole

290
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: new challenge on their hands. And that challenge is one

291
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: that outside crystaball experiencing it briefly as a head coach

292
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: at Oregon and as an assistant and as a player

293
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: way back in the day, none of them have really experienced.

294
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: And that's the consequence of success. They felt the consequence

295
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: of failure, but success brings consequence as well. And we've

296
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: always said this about Miami, and I'll tell you as

297
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: we're talking live here later tonight USC plays If USC

298
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: wins tonight, the same thing I'm about to talk about

299
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:54,440
Speaker 1: what happened with them. There is a unique thing that

300
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 1: happens when Miami is really good at football. And you

301
00:14:57,920 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: could be a legal adult watching this show right now,

302
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: eighteen or nineteen and have never experienced it in your lifetime,

303
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: because they have not been this in your lifetime. They

304
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: have been a three loss or worse team every year

305
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: they've been in the ACC and that's all the way

306
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: back to two thousand and four. There have been a

307
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: couple of blips on the radar, but it hasn't been

308
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: the real deal. This is the real deal. This is

309
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: the real thing. It's not a drill. This is the

310
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: real thing. They've got the talent base, they've got the

311
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 1: recruiting machine, they've got the right guy in place, They've

312
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: got things where they need it. They've never experienced it.

313
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: They've never won. There are a lot of folks in

314
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: that building. I'm not calling them losers. I'm saying they

315
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: have experienced losing. They have not been winners yet. Now,

316
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: you got to have a winning mentality before.

317
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 2: You ever win.

318
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: They wouldn't even be where they are right now if

319
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: they didn't have a winning mentality. But you can get

320
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: drunk on this stuff so quick. The consequence of success,

321
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: I think is amplified at a place like Miami. It's

322
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: the same way as it has been at USC anytime

323
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: they've been good.

324
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: When you're in a major.

325
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: Media market like that, you get treated differently than you

326
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: would in Lexington, Kentucky, or Columbia, South Carolina. All due respect,

327
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: love both cities, but man, Miami actually has a shot

328
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: to be a lead again. They're not there. They've got

329
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 1: a shot. It's what I said, to be a lead again.

330
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: And so everyone associated with that program is about to

331
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: experience something that they've never experienced, and that is a tailwind.

332
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: And it's one thing.

333
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: It's one thing to face that headwind, because then you

334
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: don't you don't have to worry. Man, you're you feel

335
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: like professionally or you feel like competitively, your jobs on

336
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 1: the line every day. Well, it doesn't feel like that anymore.

337
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: Unless you make sure you're wired a certain way.

338
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: You better be.

339
00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: You better be because they got supreme skill and athleticism

340
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: on that team, but it's not good enough where the

341
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: helmet rolls out there and wins on its own. That

342
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: may may not suffer from it this weekend, but I

343
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: am telling you we have seen it before. We have

344
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: seen it with really good coaches before. It's one thing

345
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 1: for you to think the right way. It's another thing

346
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: to make sure that that is injected into an entire organization.

347
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: That's why most people can't succeed being the head coach

348
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: in this sport. A lot of them can succeed being

349
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: coordinators position coaches. Very few are cut out to be

350
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,919
Speaker 1: head coaches. And it's not because they can't go get talent.

351
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: It's not because they can't stand up on a chair

352
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: and yell the right things in the locker room. It's

353
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 1: cause they can't take what's in their mind and put

354
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,919
Speaker 1: it in a nineteen year old kid's mind and then

355
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 1: multiply that times eighty and then multiply at times another

356
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 1: fifty or so for the other adults in the building.

357
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: That stuff right there is hard to do. That's the

358
00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: difference between blips on the radar screen and being a

359
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: perennial title contender. And it's why I never take it

360
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: lightly when someone accomplishes it. So now, look, you're talking

361
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: to someone here. You're listening to someone here who predicted

362
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 1: them to win the ACC So yesterday's result should make

363
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: me feel good about that prediction, and I do. But

364
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 1: it's not going to be as easy as it seems

365
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: like it's going to be if you just watch yesterday result.

366
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: As for Florida, I think it's going to be a really,

367
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: really treacherous time and a very uncomfortable time here obviously

368
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 1: these next few weeks.

369
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: Who welcome in.

370
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,160
Speaker 1: If you are new around here, I would suggest subscribing

371
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: to the channel Josh Pat's College Football Show, presented free

372
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: to you courtesy of our presenting sponsor, Academy Sports and Outdoors.

373
00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:26,719
Speaker 1: They took us on the road yesterday. They put us

374
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,280
Speaker 1: in very comfortable chairs yesterday. Now, when you're in the

375
00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,440
Speaker 1: South like we were yesterday, you got academy all over

376
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: the place. Now, the plural of academy is also maybe

377
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,560
Speaker 1: a kademi. I'm not have to run that by Alex Jesse.

378
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: Make a note. You need to find out what the

379
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,879
Speaker 1: plural of academy is. It can't just be academies. It

380
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 1: can't be that. But I will tell you this, Academy

381
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: Sports and Outdoors this time of year really clutch because

382
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: they've got all the stuff you need, a lot of

383
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: the stuff you don't think you need. Some of you

384
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: are busy shopping for sporting goods equipment for the fall.

385
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 2: But then you're thinking, but.

386
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 1: The kids have to go back to school, so we

387
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: got to go someplace else. Well, who said no, you don't.

388
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: They've got you set on that front as well. An

389
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: alarming amount of clothing variety in academy sports and outdoors,

390
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: not to mention obviously your outdoor tailgating equipment. I should

391
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: I should look over tailgating areas and just see an

392
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 1: ocean of academy sports and outdoors this time of year.

393
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 2: We appreciate them.

394
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: I promise they appreciate you so much that they make

395
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: sure to take care of this production and make it

396
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: free for you. So in exchange, just give them a

397
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: visit academy dot com if you can't get there in person.

398
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: We roll on on the Sunday Night Reaction Special. Got

399
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 1: a couple of ramnutl Express best bets coming up. I

400
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,440
Speaker 1: am going to tell you where we're going this Saturday

401
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 1: coming up. We are absolutely loaded tonight. Georgia thirty four

402
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 1: Clemson three sad sad violin music here, one and a

403
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: half Chali. That's all I can give this game. One

404
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: and a half Challi. Because there was a significant amount

405
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: of yawning that everyone outside of the Georgia fan base

406
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: did in the second half. This game went exactly half

407
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: the way I expected it to go half because I

408
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: got what I thought i'd get from Georgia. Georgia is

409
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: d team I thought they'd be. Clemson is not just

410
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,959
Speaker 1: wrong on them, just whift on them. I think I

411
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: was loosely quoted around here as saying I'll take Georgia

412
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: to win. I didn't bet on the game, but if

413
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: I did, I think i'd take Clemson plus the points.

414
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 1: Yet Nope, And my reasoning there was I'll have to

415
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: see Clemson get handled to believe it. Well, friends, I

416
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 1: believe it because I saw Clemson get handled. What kind

417
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: of day was it in Mercedes ben Stadium yesterday? The

418
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: grave of the Georgia Dome. Georgia had one hundred and

419
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: sixty nine rush yards. In fact, let's Jesse, let's just

420
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: padlock stat it. Georgia one hundred and sixty nine rushing yards.

421
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 1: Clemson had one hundred and eighty eight total. Georgia nearly

422
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: out rushed Clemson in totality of yardage. As for totality

423
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: of yardage, howse four forty seven to one eighty eight,

424
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: completely boa constrictor. That was Clemson all day long. Now

425
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 1: I'm from Georgia. Out of my social circle, the biggest

426
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: slice of the pie is made up of Georgia fans.

427
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: So I talk to Georgia fans every hour of every day.

428
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: Even if I didn't want to, I could not avoid that.

429
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: Not that I want to in most cases, but I

430
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: really hope Georgia fans appreciate what they don't have to

431
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: worry about. Ninety nine percent of the sport, even the

432
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: good teams have to deal with variants of preparedness.

433
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 2: I guess it is the best way to put it.

434
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: Even the good ones have their teams show up and

435
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 1: occasionally just lay an egg, if you want to call

436
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: it that. But it's just they're inconsistent in the level

437
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: of preparedness that they display by how well they execute.

438
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: Georgia just doesn't suffer from it. I know everyone knows

439
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart's good. I know everyone thinks george has got

440
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: the best coach and the best coaching staff and the

441
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: best program. But they're really better than even you think

442
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 1: they are because there's no variance in that. Think about

443
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: how shocked you'd be if you watch Georgia football and

444
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: they showed up unprepared. They can lose. They don't lose

445
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 1: very often.

446
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: But they could lose a football game, but it's because

447
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,680
Speaker 2: you out executed them.

448
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 1: They've never hand you a game, or you'd never beat

449
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: them because they know show That sounds so simple, Josh,

450
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: their own scholarship.

451
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 2: Of course they'll show up.

452
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: Well, Josh, they're paid millions or at least hundreds of

453
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars depending on the job title. Of course

454
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: they'll show up. No, no, it's not automatic. They're not robots.

455
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: So everyone doesn't automatically show up. You got a program

456
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 1: there that does it every week, week in and week out,

457
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: and if.

458
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 2: They didn't, it would be the biggest surprise.

459
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: Georgia showing up flat would actually be a bigger surprise

460
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 1: than like Vandy pulling an upset over Virginia Tech.

461
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 2: So that's the first thing.

462
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: The second thing is this goes to halftime six to

463
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: nothing yesterday, and this bad boy right here, I'm holding

464
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: up my phone, I'm holding up the eye, Josh, if

465
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: you're listening on podcasts, starts going crazy with the aforementioned

466
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: Georgia fans in my social circle trashing their own team.

467
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 2: You know who you are.

468
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: I don't have to out you publicly and then we

469
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: end up with a thirty four to three blowout, and

470
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 1: I mean, you make Dabbo do everything but cry at

471
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: the postgame press conference, which we will take a look

472
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: at in a second.

473
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 2: And I look at it and I think.

474
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: Man, what a beautiful game. Beautiful Not because it was

475
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: perfect by any stretch. Hopefully you're not perfect in week

476
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 1: one or else you've peaked in week one. But Georgia

477
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: displayed what all the elite teams can do. They showed

478
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 1: multiple ways to win. Now, sometimes over the course of

479
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 1: a season, an elite team shows multiple ways to win

480
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: it just so happens. Georgia did it in one afternoon.

481
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: Georgia in the first half takes their defense and they

482
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 1: basically fashion themselves into a shive and it goes into

483
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: Clemson's side and they bleed out and it didn't stop

484
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 1: a lot of blood. Clemson had a lot of blood

485
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 1: to give yesterday and Georgia just painted the walls with it.

486
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: So we go into the half six to nothing. Offense

487
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: is sputtering, offensive line is at best, and then they

488
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: come out the second half a rare second padlocked stat

489
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: Georgia six nothing, now six nothing. They score touchdowns on

490
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,199
Speaker 1: four of their next five drives. So they showed you

491
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 1: that top five offense potential in the same game that

492
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: they showed you elite defense potential or top five defense potential,

493
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: and just ho home. You took a team that has

494
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: won multiple national titles in the last decade and turned

495
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,479
Speaker 1: them inside out less than I'd say, less than two

496
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 1: hundred miles from their home campus. What is Clemson right now?

497
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,439
Speaker 1: I think it's a question that a lot of their

498
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: fan base is asking.

499
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 2: A lot of college football has wondered, is Clemson.

500
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 1: Just just taking a step back? Has Clemson permanently taken

501
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: a step back? I think one of the most pathetic

502
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 1: things I saw yesterday was Clemson gets pants thirty four

503
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: to three, and then folks wanted to say, well, Georgia

504
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: does this to a lot.

505
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: Of teams, You're the team. They used to say that

506
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 2: about how quickly people forget this.

507
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 1: It used to be well, yeah, we got blown out, man,

508
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:17,959
Speaker 1: I mean they got decapitated. But Clemson does that to

509
00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: a lot of teams.

510
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 2: You're the team. Now with your head rolling around on

511
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:23,919
Speaker 2: the floor, by the way, go back.

512
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 1: To that quote, Georgia does this to a lot of teams, Well,

513
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: are you a lot of teams.

514
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 2: Or are you Clemson or did you used to be Clemson?

515
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: You remember in Angels in the Outfield? Ranch Wilder, former

516
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: baseball player, now is the announcer in Little JP, not me,

517
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: the little JP with the backwards hat and Angels in

518
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: the Outfield walks up. It says you used to be

519
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 1: mel Clark. It was Mel Clark. It went in Ranch

520
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: Wilder like, what a slap in the face. You used

521
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: to be Clemson.

522
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 2: I guess that's what it's come to for some folks.

523
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,399
Speaker 1: Oh well, Clems got blown out, but Georgia will do

524
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: that to a lot of people. I don't know that

525
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:00,560
Speaker 1: that's where the standard bar has been reset to for

526
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: the totality of the fan base.

527
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 2: Maybe it is.

528
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: But I went and listened to Dabo Swinny after the

529
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: game yesterday, because you know, there's a there's a stance.

530
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 1: A lot of people have taken on him. A lot

531
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 1: of people have yelled, you better use the transfer portal

532
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: or the game's gonna leave you behind. And Dabo has

533
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: stood pretty resolute, and I've thought both things are fair.

534
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: I thought that, hey, Dabo's got his values and principles

535
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: and he can stick to him I may even respect

536
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: it as I disagree with it. But the thing about

537
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: it is the football games will ultimately arrive. That's how

538
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: you'll ultimately be judged. It's the most fair thing about

539
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: this game. You get to try it your way, and

540
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 1: especially at a place where you've got all the resource

541
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: in the world, you will be judged on the outcomes

542
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,440
Speaker 1: of twelve football games at least per fall. So more

543
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: and more those games are going the way that Clemson

544
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: fans don't want him to in the big moments. So

545
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: Dabo steps to the podium yesterday and this is what

546
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: he had to say.

547
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 3: Biggest thing is you know that that's when you when

548
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 3: you get beat like that, that's that's on That's on

549
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 3: the head coach, that's on me.

550
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 4: So that's just complete onwhip.

551
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 3: Of just an absolute crap second half and just you know,

552
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: really disappointed.

553
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 4: But I've done it long enough. You know this is

554
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:17,439
Speaker 4: you know, sometimes you get your butt kicked, and we

555
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 4: did today.

556
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 3: And that's not what we came here to do.

557
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,600
Speaker 4: But you've got to give Georgia credit and we got

558
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 4: to move on. We got to learn from it.

559
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 1: So what does that actually mean. It's all on the

560
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: head coach, Yeah it is. What does that actually mean?

561
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: Does that mean any lessons learned is a meaning and

562
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 1: he's going to change? I highly doubt it. As I've

563
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: told you before, Dabo's the white whale of this program.

564
00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: He's the one of the Pate State Speaker series I've

565
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,479
Speaker 1: always wanted to have on They've never agreed to do it.

566
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 1: I always wondered why, but we've never been able to have.

567
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 2: Him on the show.

568
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: But if we had him on the show, since we haven't,

569
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: I've always had to envision how this would go. I

570
00:27:57,600 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: always imagined that if you injected truth serramon to Dabbo,

571
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: and we require that of all our guests, we just

572
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 1: take the syringe, we say, trust us, bro, and we

573
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: inject truth serum in to him. If we did that

574
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,959
Speaker 1: to Dabbo and we started talking about this transfer portal stuff,

575
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: he would say something like, why.

576
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,240
Speaker 2: In the world should I have to change? Why is

577
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 2: it on me to change?

578
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: And my response would be, you don't have to change.

579
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: That's always been my thought on this. You do not

580
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,399
Speaker 1: have to change as long as you're willing to accept

581
00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: the consequence.

582
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: Because there is not a world to be clear, where.

583
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: Clemson continues to do things the way they did in

584
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 1: the mid twenty teens, and they continue to compete at

585
00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 1: the highest level of the sports, still be a really

586
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 1: good program, still be a solid nine win caliber program,

587
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: and there aren't many of those, even on average per year,

588
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: even at nine. But Clemson's not an elite program. There's

589
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: nothing dynamic.

590
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 2: Did you watch them on the field yesterday?

591
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: That allegedly is the team with the fifth most talented

592
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: roster in college football? There are far more than five

593
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: rosters more dynamic and talented than that Clemson roster. Now,

594
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 1: I had someone, because I was running this by someone

595
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: on my drive back to Jacksonville last night, had to

596
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: fly out this morning, and they were saying, well, okay,

597
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: but I mean, George is so elite. I don't know

598
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: that the portal would have helped Clemson. Here, you have

599
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: no clue what a portal would have done for Clemson.

600
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about one player or one year, by

601
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 1: the way, but you're telling me you watched Club Nick

602
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: play yesterday average as grits, no offense to grits.

603
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 2: You're telling me them getting in the sweepstakes for cam

604
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 2: WOD wouldn't make a difference.

605
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 1: And by the way. What if he came in conjunction

606
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: with a wide receiver. What if they picked up an

607
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,640
Speaker 1: offensive lineman last year? What if one more linebacker was added.

608
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: I just named you four players, not one. So you're

609
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: telling me a sprinkling of three or four impact players

610
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: couldn't potentially change the outcome of games. If you're telling

611
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: me that, I'm telling you you're wrong. But broad strokes

612
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: purposes here, Dabbo's where.

613
00:29:58,520 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 2: He's gonna be.

614
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 1: He's going to be to be very surprising to me

615
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: if he changed that approach. So until then, what I'm

616
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: going to interpret is Clemson's a pretty good program. They're

617
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 1: going to be a notch below the best. They will

618
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: not match rosters with Georgia they in now in moving forward,

619
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: they won't match rosters with Miami in their own conference.

620
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 1: They will certainly not touch a Texas An, Oregon on

621
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State and Alabama. And so you start listing, and

622
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: as long as you're comfortable taking you know, the seventh

623
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: or eighth or ninth row in the bus instead of

624
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: one of those first two or three rows, that's okay.

625
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 2: If you're not comfortable with that, then you got to

626
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: make changes. Not talking about coaching changes.

627
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking about coaches making changes, so both of both

628
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: sides of that equation are fair to me. You get

629
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: to choose however you want to do it, and then

630
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: the sport will do to you what it does to

631
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: anyone who voluntarily ties a talent acquisition mechanism hand behind

632
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 1: their back, and you live with it.

633
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 2: That's the way it works. So Georgia looks really good. Georgia.

634
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: I've got Power rated as the number one team in

635
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: the JP Pole right now. They played like the number

636
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: one team in the JP Pole. So thank you, Kirby.

637
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: Most dependable commodity in the sport right now. Bet on

638
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 1: Kirby smart, even though I said I wouldn't if I

639
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: bet on this game.

640
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: We were not in Atlanta yesterday.

641
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: Number one because I think neutral site games are evil

642
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: unless it's the Cotton Bowl. And number two because we

643
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:27,239
Speaker 1: had a game down in Florida to go to. It

644
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: was Miami at Florida. We already talked about that game.

645
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: Quick Trip powering the whole New Saturday tour and Quick

646
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: Trip put out a little challenge to you guys the

647
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: other day and they offered you a ton of free gas,

648
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: and what they said is if anyone can make it

649
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: on college game day just for fun with a quick trip,

650
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 1: and I told you represent the show as well, then

651
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: you got some free stuff headed your way. Matthew Singleton

652
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: like thirty seconds into the open of their show yesterday,

653
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: just boom right there on live TV, in.

654
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 2: Front of God and everyone. You.

655
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: I keep a close eye on your DMS, my friend,

656
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: because they were not kidding you when they said free gas.

657
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: Copious amounts of it was coming your way.

658
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 2: Now.

659
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 1: As for where it will be this Saturday, the whole

660
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: New Saturday tour is headed to ann Arbor, Michigan this

661
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 1: Saturday for Texas versus Michigan.

662
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: I don't work for Fox.

663
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: I've never worked for Fox in my life, but you

664
00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 1: know there's a certain energy in my voice when I

665
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: get to go to big noon kickoff because that means

666
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 1: we get to come home the same night and we

667
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: get to see Sark on the road against shronmore in Michigan.

668
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: Michigan looked gross at times yesterday. Conversely, Texas looked like

669
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: they could.

670
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 2: Have scored four hundred points. Texas goes into this game.

671
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: I think right now at Fandal they're a seven to

672
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,239
Speaker 1: a seven and a half point favorite should be a

673
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: lot of fun. Now it should be noted I am one, two, three, four, five,

674
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: am I six and oh attending Michigan games the last

675
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: three years, I think I am I don't know that

676
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 1: I've have I seen Michigan lose again, Jesse, can you

677
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: think about that.

678
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 2: I don't think I've.

679
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 1: Seen Michigan lose a game in person, which is crazy

680
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: because I pick against them a lot, which obviously means

681
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: I hate them. I think that probably should move the

682
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: line two or three points on its own.

683
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: So there you go, Texas at and Michigan this Saturday.

684
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 2: We will be there.

685
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: We're looking forward to it. Now, back to yesterday's festivities.

686
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: Last night, to be specific, Notre Dame went on the

687
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: road just flat out beat Texas A and M twenty

688
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: three to thirteen.

689
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: This is a good game. This is one of the

690
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 2: best games of the day. So good.

691
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: I would give it three and a half Chali out

692
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: of five on our game ranking.

693
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 2: And this was a gut check for Notre Dame.

694
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 1: This was the gut check Notre Dame couldn't quite get

695
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: against Ohio State last year. Remember that game came down

696
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: to the last play up in South Bend. We were

697
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: there for that one. We were not there for this one.

698
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: And naturally, anytime I pass up an opportunity to go

699
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: to Kyle Field, something spectacular happens. In this case not

700
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: for the home team. You've heard of the padlock stat before.

701
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: The padlock stat's what I give you, And if you

702
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,360
Speaker 1: would have known that number of Friday, you would have

703
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: known the outcome. But we also have the rarely mentioned

704
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: badlock stat. And a badlock stat is the kind of

705
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: stat that, if you heard it Friday, you would think

706
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: you know who's gonna win, but you would be wrong.

707
00:34:21,880 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: We have a badlock stat. Notre Dame twenty three to thirteen. Wow,

708
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:31,799
Speaker 1: small underdog, double digit winner. That must mean they dominated, right? Well,

709
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 1: what if I told you Friday that Notre Dame was

710
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: going to go to a fourteen on third and fourth down?

711
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: What if I told you Notre Dame was going to

712
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: rack up eleven penalties for nearly one hundred yards, and

713
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: then you add on top of that the offensive line

714
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,919
Speaker 1: and experience and Notre Dame in big games and all

715
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: the energy college game day in town.

716
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 2: What would you have thought?

717
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 1: You would have thought, gimme the Aggies lay the points

718
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: bet the kids tuition on it, and as a result,

719
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: your kid are juco at best because Notre Dame finds

720
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,640
Speaker 1: a way to win anyway. Four rushes of fifteen plus

721
00:35:05,719 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: yards for Notre Dame. Two of them went for touchdowns

722
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 1: forty seven yards and twenty one yards, and conversely A

723
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 1: and M had zero. That's a padlock statt. Let's pop

724
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,880
Speaker 1: the paper on that Notre Dame. Four rushes of fifteen

725
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: plus A and M zero and Connor Wigman one hundred

726
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: passing yards. Just such an underachievement of a day for

727
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,960
Speaker 1: Texas A and M, which means full credit to this

728
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,919
Speaker 1: entire coaching staff, but specifically on the defensive side over there.

729
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: And then you think about what was perceived to be

730
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: the glaring mismatch in this one, and we talked about

731
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: it a lot on Tuesday, and that was the sixth

732
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 1: career combined starts on the offensive line for Notre Dame.

733
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: And yet I turned this game on when I got

734
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: back to my hotel room last night and it was

735
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 1: already the fourth quarter. So I went back and rewatched

736
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 1: the rest of it on the flight home this morning.

737
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 1: But I was the game live on the fourth quarter,

738
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 1: and I said, is there something wrong is the saturation

739
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 1: and the tent off on the TV, because it looks

740
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: like the team with the gold helmets on is leaning

741
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: on the team in the maroon.

742
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:14,520
Speaker 2: I got this kid over here, pukin. I got that

743
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:15,399
Speaker 2: kid sucking win.

744
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: This is the team who plays in a city that

745
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: might as well be in Canada, and you guys have

746
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: trained in East Texas all summer and they're leaning on you.

747
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: Make of that what you will, but that's what we

748
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,240
Speaker 1: were seeing. Notre Dame's offensive line gave up zero sacks yesterday.

749
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: There were some tackles for loss, but zero sacks, five

750
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,480
Speaker 1: point eight yards per carry. I don't know who needs

751
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 1: to be given a raise up there. I just know

752
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 1: raises are due. That was a monumental achievement for this program,

753
00:36:46,640 --> 00:36:48,919
Speaker 1: in this team to go on the road in those circumstances,

754
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,439
Speaker 1: having lost that left tackle for the season, already having

755
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 1: to replace both tackles, and so you're down to essentially

756
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 1: a three at left tackle and go in there against

757
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:02,240
Speaker 1: a holy yach is my Davi, holy yaka, former five stars,

758
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 1: and you would not have known it. You would not

759
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: have known it. That doesn't just happen. That is good coaching.

760
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:09,840
Speaker 1: I have told you before, I'll tell you again. I

761
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: think Marcus Freeman has about as good a duo of

762
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: coordinators with den Brock and Golden as anyone has in

763
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: the country. And again, not by accident, Notre Dame look

764
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 1: to have better pass catchers than Texas A and M.

765
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 1: It's a one game sample size, but that's what it

766
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,480
Speaker 1: looked like. A Notre Dame had well. No A and

767
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 1: M wide receiver had a reception.

768
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 2: You know what, it's not one reception.

769
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: Jesse No A and M wide receiver had over thirty

770
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: one yards receiving period.

771
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,840
Speaker 2: Connor Wigman was a big disappointment in this game. I

772
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 2: pull for him.

773
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: He's at a checkered career, got a great opportunity here.

774
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if there is some kind of behind

775
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 1: the scenes note about an injury or something that's non disclosed,

776
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: feel free to let me know. But if everything was

777
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: on the up and up, this was a bad, bad game.

778
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: It leads me to believe he is not the best option,

779
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 1: does not give them the best chance to win. Now,

780
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 1: Mike Elko has forgotten more about offensive football than I know,

781
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 1: and he thinks that Connor Wigman gives them the best

782
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: chance to win, or else he wouldn't started yesterday. I'm

783
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 1: just telling you, I think there's got to be better

784
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,240
Speaker 1: somewhere on that roster. Or we saw the absolute worst

785
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 1: of worst from A and M out of twelve games

786
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 1: this year, we saw the twelfth best game they'll play,

787
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: and it's all uphill from here. One of those two

788
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: things has got to be true there. I thought Texas

789
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: A and M was a little bit closer to being

790
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:40,240
Speaker 1: a turnkey roster than apparently they are. So I thought Elko,

791
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: if he could pull this one out, they'd have a

792
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: decent shot at playoff contention. They're not there. They're not

793
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: that caliber team. So wrong on Texas A and M.

794
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: JP poll will have to downgrade Texas A and M.

795
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: It's not the case with Mike Elko.

796
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 2: Now.

797
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: I was sky high on Mike Elkoch. Still am still

798
00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: am that there is definitely the further inside that program

799
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,280
Speaker 1: you get. Folks will tell you there's certainly a different

800
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 1: vibe and energy, attentiveness. There is a different approach than

801
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: the predecessor had there. It'll work out in time. I

802
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 1: just don't know that it's going to work out this season.

803
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,480
Speaker 1: Maybe to the degree that some folks had had in

804
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: their mind for best case scenario. But back to Notre

805
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 1: Dame for a second. I need to give out a

806
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: big red caution flare. Let's just watch this whole Notre

807
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 1: Dame thing together. So Notre Dame came into the season

808
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,320
Speaker 1: and I had them rained. I had them rated eighth

809
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: in the jpeople and some people told me that they

810
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:41,640
Speaker 1: were overrated, because some people wake up every morning of

811
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,319
Speaker 1: their lives just yelling Notre Dame's overrated, and they don't

812
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: even know what they're rated. I had Notre Dame rated

813
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:51,399
Speaker 1: eighth in the preseason. Now I probably won't move Notre

814
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: Dame much because that's what you do when a team

815
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 1: performs roughly on par with what your expectation level was

816
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:01,359
Speaker 1: for them. But that is not how ranked work in

817
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 1: the ranking merit based world. You just win and you

818
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: automatically get bumped up. And so who knows where the

819
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: AP is going to have Notre Dame come Monday or

820
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 1: Tuesday whenever they release that thing. But I will tell you,

821
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 1: for all the folks out there who yell about Notre

822
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: Dame being overrated, I want you to pay attention because

823
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 1: I think what we're doing with Notre Dame makes perfect sense.

824
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: Just a little preview of the jpeople. Notre Dame is

825
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: not really going to jump up much in the jpeople.

826
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: Why because I think we had them properly rated. See

827
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,799
Speaker 1: when you thought they were overrated, I think they were

828
00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,799
Speaker 1: properly rated. Now what you don't want to do is

829
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: fall victim to committing the crime that you accuse folks

830
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: like me of.

831
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,359
Speaker 2: Don't be bumping them up to five or four.

832
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:42,880
Speaker 1: If they're the eighth best team in the country and

833
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: they go win by ten against Texas A and M,

834
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: that means they did what the eighth best team in

835
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: the country should do. So Notre Dame is gonna get

836
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: hyped here and Notre Dame. That schedule you're looking at

837
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: it right now, Colin is showing you Notre Dame schedule.

838
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: They are going to win a whole lot. You will

839
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,839
Speaker 1: not hear much from Notre Dame. They'll play than Illinois, Purdue,

840
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 1: Miami of Ohio, Louisville's the next big game. But I'm

841
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 1: telling you they can't overlook, folks, there is not an

842
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: elite part of this Notre Dame team. The sum has

843
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:14,800
Speaker 1: got to be more than the whole of the parts,

844
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,359
Speaker 1: because they don't have elite pieces on this team.

845
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: Riley Leonard's a really good quarterback.

846
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: They've got some really good but I think that coaching

847
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 1: staff would tell you if they had truth serum injected

848
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: in them, We're not elite in any area.

849
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 2: Of this team. Collectively, we think we can be a

850
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 2: playoff team.

851
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 1: Though that kind of team, if it brings it every week,

852
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: can win every game they play. Cannot afford a C

853
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: plus effort because that's the kind of team that has,

854
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:44,680
Speaker 1: you know, a lot thinner margin for error. But they're

855
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:47,479
Speaker 1: gonna get overrated. I'm almost certain of it. They're gonna

856
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: get overrated. And I just want you to remember who

857
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: started and held firm on Notre Dame. I'm gonna need

858
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,200
Speaker 1: you guys to defend me eventually. I know it's coming.

859
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: They're watching us in Williamsburg, Virginia, Tucson, Arizona, Panama City Beach, Florida.

860
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 2: Thank you guys so much. We roll merrily along.

861
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:10,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Walker has texted me, do you want me to

862
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,240
Speaker 1: work up a women of nineties country playlist?

863
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:13,799
Speaker 2: Real quick?

864
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 1: Uh?

865
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 4: Yeah?

866
00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 2: I love that all right. Back to the show.

867
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: Penn State thirty four, West Virginia twelve. Did anyone see

868
00:42:25,320 --> 00:42:27,919
Speaker 1: this coming? The model kind of sniffed this one out.

869
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,359
Speaker 1: The model was watching the point spread lower on this thing.

870
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: There was a lot of West Virginia money that came in,

871
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: and we saw this game play out. I give it

872
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,240
Speaker 1: two Chalai out of five. We had a long weather delay.

873
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 1: That's always gonna tamper the Chalai rating. There have not

874
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: had a five Chalai game. There was no five chaalai

875
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:49,840
Speaker 1: game in week one. This is a terrible matchup for

876
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: West Virginia. That's what the model kept seeing. Model thought

877
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: Penn State wins by double digits. They started favored by

878
00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: double digits. Inexplicably that number dropped, But there was There

879
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 1: was not a second's worth of this game that I

880
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,880
Speaker 1: was ever nervous for Penn State, which is not the

881
00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: chorus I always sing about that team candidly. West Virginia

882
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 1: may run the ball the rest of the games they

883
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: played this season. There was no world where they were

884
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 1: going to run the ball effectively on Penn State yesterday.

885
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: But triple paper pop. Guess what, everybody? Everybody quiet now,

886
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: and guess what. Penn State eight plays of forty plus yards,

887
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,719
Speaker 1: all of last year, the entire season, they had eight

888
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: plays of forty plus yards.

889
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 2: They had four of them yesterday. What did we do?

890
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: We went and hired Andy Koldlniki from Kansas. Why did

891
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 1: we do it because we want to stretch the field vertically?

892
00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: Why because we think we've got the quarterback to do it.

893
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: Even though the rest of America is crapping on him,

894
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:52,880
Speaker 1: we still think Drew Ahler can push the ball down

895
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,000
Speaker 1: the field if he's put in the proper position to

896
00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 1: do it and has good wide receiver talent to throw

897
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,040
Speaker 1: it to. Drew Ahler was the best looking quarter.

898
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 2: Back in the Big Ten. Yesterday. I said what I said.

899
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 2: I said what I said.

900
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: I sent some very irresponsible text messages to people at

901
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: Penn State today because I got a little excited watching

902
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: the replay. Those text messages will remain private because I

903
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:17,279
Speaker 1: could look very foolish on it. But if it ends

904
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: up panning out, did I screenshad him? Which is the

905
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 1: past tensive screenshot five of seven was Drew Aler for

906
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty eight yards on passes fifteen or

907
00:44:29,200 --> 00:44:30,320
Speaker 1: more yards downfield?

908
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 2: Do you, Colin?

909
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:34,479
Speaker 1: I don't think we have rewind capability, but the throw

910
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: he just made and how easy that ball just came

911
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: off his fingers.

912
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 2: It's there, people, it's there. Is this hit again? Can boom?

913
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: They make those kinds of throws on Sundays, don't see

914
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,319
Speaker 1: him whole lot on Saturdays.

915
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,360
Speaker 2: I know, I know he couldn't.

916
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: He couldn't, couldn't stretch the ball five yards down the

917
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:55,319
Speaker 1: field last year against Michigan and Ohio State. So I'm

918
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 1: not supposed to talk about the next level with Drew Aler.

919
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: But what did we tell you all spring? There are

920
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: NFL scouting types out there that would shoot down any

921
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,719
Speaker 1: notion of some of your Heisman favorites right now having

922
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: a long career ahead of them at the next level.

923
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: But conversely, Drew Ahler not anywhere remotely in the Heisman

924
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,120
Speaker 1: conversation last year, and they're still all in on him.

925
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,480
Speaker 1: They cautioned us in the spring, don't be given up

926
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,440
Speaker 1: on the Oler kid from Penn State. We still think

927
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 1: he's really good. He was just saddled with a really

928
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 1: bad OC last year and he didn't have a wide

929
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 1: receiver one does he have one now? Trey Wallace yesterday

930
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:32,200
Speaker 1: had five catches over one hundred and fifteen yards, two touchdowns,

931
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:34,919
Speaker 1: that was all in the first half, And I think

932
00:45:34,960 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: probably one of the most vivid and effective metaphors that

933
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:42,320
Speaker 1: we will hear all college football season was given yesterday

934
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 1: by Penn State offensive coordinator andykolal Nikikuls. They were asking

935
00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,959
Speaker 1: him about his complex offense and he had to break

936
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: it down for him using dairy queen terminology roll at Colin.

937
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 5: So if you could equate offensive football to your favorite

938
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 5: lizard and understanding that what it's going to look like

939
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 5: is going to be looking like a messy piece of deliciousness,

940
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,680
Speaker 5: but fundamentally is composed of really just vanilla ice cream

941
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 5: and your favorite candies. Right, that's when we talk about

942
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 5: simplicity versus complexion.

943
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: I've never met Andy Colder Niki. I will guarantee you

944
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 1: that's a low ego guy. Because some of these guys

945
00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 1: they get high on you talking about how complex their

946
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,240
Speaker 1: system is, even if they actually know it's just vanilla

947
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: ice cream with eminem sprinkled in there. It looks a

948
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: lot more complicated than it is. When someone like me

949
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: goes on there and talks about the complexities of their system,

950
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, this is great.

951
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 2: Pass me some more.

952
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:49,759
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not etching anything into Big ten Stone. Yet

953
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,839
Speaker 1: I'm not doing that. What I'm telling you is, for

954
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: one Saturday, at least when Oregon was in play, when

955
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 1: Ohio State was in play, and when Michigan was in play,

956
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 1: Penn State had the best looking quarterback in the room.

957
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:07,239
Speaker 1: For one Saturday. Maybe that's it, and maybe that's all.

958
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 1: But for one Saturday, I finally did everyone hear that.

959
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: For one Saturday, I finally got to text producer Jesse

960
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:16,919
Speaker 1: and All Caps about Penn State's offense and it brought

961
00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:17,600
Speaker 1: me great joy.

962
00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 2: All right, I got some other takeaways here.

963
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 1: We have got a couple of best bets coming up,

964
00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 1: so let's roll through these. What a huge night coming

965
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 1: for Lincoln Riley. By the way, we're not talking about

966
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:28,839
Speaker 1: the game because it hasn't happened yet. We already brought

967
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,120
Speaker 1: the game down. But what is this game kicking off

968
00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 1: in about forty five minutes from when we're live right now.

969
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 1: That's an unpredictable game, you know. I took USC to

970
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,560
Speaker 1: win this thing out right, So I heard I heard

971
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: about it from down in the boot. I heard about it.

972
00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,319
Speaker 1: LSU was one of my first loves. It brought me

973
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:54,040
Speaker 1: no joy Oregon looked terrible last night. I just got

974
00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 1: to be real with you. They beat Idaho twenty four

975
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: to fourteen. This one concerned me. I'm the first one

976
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 1: to tell you, don't freak out about Week one. I'm

977
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,359
Speaker 1: having trouble not freaking out about that one. That one

978
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: was jarring, it was glaring. We've seen it happen before.

979
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 1: We've seen a team struggle against vastly inferior competition in

980
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 1: week one and then week two. People are laughing that

981
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: they got so worried in week one, and maybe that

982
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:18,600
Speaker 1: happens here.

983
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 2: They got Boise this Saturday.

984
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 1: Maybe that happens, and if it does, great, I'm the

985
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,080
Speaker 1: one that predicted them to be in the playoff, like,

986
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 1: I'm fine with it. But I will say I am

987
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 1: worried about Oregon. They had injury on their offensive line

988
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 1: late in fall camp. They had to move some pieces around,

989
00:48:37,800 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 1: and they'll get Bedford back, I think eventually.

990
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 2: But this looked bad yesterday. This looked worse than a

991
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 2: lot of teams looked when they lost.

992
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: Winning is what matters. I get all that, but I

993
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 1: will say this defense.

994
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 2: Looked great for Oregon yesterday.

995
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 1: I guess my follow up question is is this going

996
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: to be a situation where defense has to carry Oregon

997
00:48:57,680 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: for a little while, because that's not something many of

998
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 1: us expected. And yet if yesterday was in the indication,

999
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:05,600
Speaker 1: it's absolutely what's gonna have to happen.

1000
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:07,840
Speaker 2: Two point nine yards per carry?

1001
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: Like on what planet is that a stat line for

1002
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: Oregon running the ball against anyone this side of the NFL,

1003
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: much less Idaho. Their offensive line was so bad yesterday. Guys,

1004
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: I know you didn't watch this game. I did, so

1005
00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: you don't have to. Their offensive line was so bad.

1006
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: Do you realize Dylan Gabriel completed forty one passes. He

1007
00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:31,719
Speaker 1: tied a program record for pass completions in a game.

1008
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,320
Speaker 1: None of them were downfield. I think like two or

1009
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: three of them were over twenty yards downfield. So it

1010
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 1: was just dink it was done. It was a lot

1011
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,479
Speaker 1: of what you're seeing on this bier roll right now.

1012
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: They didn't do that cause they wanted to. They did

1013
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: it cause they had to. They couldn't run the ball.

1014
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 1: Idaho was threatening to beat them in the fourth quarter

1015
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:50,400
Speaker 1: before they put on a garbage time not a garbage

1016
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,960
Speaker 1: time touchdow, before they put up a late touchdown, and

1017
00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: so Idaho had more explosive plays than them, just a

1018
00:49:56,719 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: total shoulder shaker of a result from and so that

1019
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 1: leads you to question, is this the offensive line for Oregon, Like,

1020
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,359
Speaker 1: is that actually it? Or am I making way too

1021
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: much of Week one? Did they just take an opponent

1022
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 1: too lightly? But this is what I'm talking about with

1023
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 1: a difference in the best of the best and the

1024
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: next tier of program at Georgia, which is the best

1025
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 1: of the best. You will never see them roll out

1026
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,360
Speaker 1: of performance like that to start a season.

1027
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:27,760
Speaker 2: You will never see lack of preparedness.

1028
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: You will never see that big of a disparity between

1029
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: what you expect from that team and the reality of

1030
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: the team. And there was, at least in my mind,

1031
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 1: a glaring disparity between what I thought I'd get from

1032
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:42,640
Speaker 1: Oregan and what I got from Morgan.

1033
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 2: Now that could be my fault. I could have just

1034
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 2: put too much into my expectation of Oregon. That's happened before.

1035
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 1: We'll find out quick because we'll have more performances like this,

1036
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: or we'll find out if it's a one game aberration

1037
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 1: and they're off to the races and by the time

1038
00:50:58,480 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: that they get into conference play, it's afterthought, they got

1039
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 1: a huge shift that they better take this Saturday, because

1040
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: if that right there, if those problems persist, this is

1041
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: a multi lost team this year. If those problems persist,

1042
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,800
Speaker 1: they're not beating Ohio State. But also, Colin, could you

1043
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,720
Speaker 1: do me a favor? Can you show me Oregon schedule

1044
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,120
Speaker 1: right quick? If they have the kind of problems they

1045
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 1: had yesterday? I need you to understand games like going

1046
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,880
Speaker 1: to UCLA is not some gimme at Purdue, at Michigan,

1047
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: certainly at Wisconsin Washington, these aren't like gimme wins. And

1048
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:39,760
Speaker 1: before you say, Josh, Oregon's way better than Wisconsin, yeah,

1049
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: I'd say the same about Idaho, wouldn't. You didn't really

1050
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:46,439
Speaker 1: matter yesterday. So Oregon is certainly. I think it gonna

1051
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: be a much different looking team than what we saw yesterday.

1052
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: But there are some problems that when you see them

1053
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:57,360
Speaker 1: in week one, you have a harder time envisioning getting

1054
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: cleaned up than others. And when I see an offensive

1055
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 1: line and get treated like Oregons did yesterday, all I'm

1056
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: telling you is I don't have one hundred certainty in

1057
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: my heart that just magically gets rectified like this magically

1058
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: gets cleaned up. So that's where I am on Oregon. Now,

1059
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:17,040
Speaker 1: Bama didn't have much problem yesterday. Alabama rolled Western Kentucky

1060
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 1: sixty three to nothing. I know sixty three points is

1061
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: a lot, but it was really defense that I had

1062
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: jump off the screen when I was watching the replay

1063
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:28,840
Speaker 1: of this game. Quay rusaw all over the field monster,

1064
00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 1: Jehad Campbell finally playing the position that God created him

1065
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 1: to play instead of the one Alabama's had him playing.

1066
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 1: I have it on good authority, by the way, that

1067
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: when Calin Debor got to Alabama and he hired Kane

1068
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:43,239
Speaker 1: Womack and Walmack meets with Nick Saban and whatnot, one

1069
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 1: of the first things out of save in his mouth was, now,

1070
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: Campbell's been playing the wrong position for two years he

1071
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 1: was the head coach. I assume he could have done

1072
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 1: something about it. But whatever that is is, whatever that is.

1073
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,279
Speaker 1: I think they've got Jehad Campbell playing the right position now.

1074
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: If you want to know who he is, he's the

1075
00:52:57,960 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 1: outside linebacker that was being wide receivers to the sideline yesterday.

1076
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 2: Number eleven. I believe that was him.

1077
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: They played nineteen true freshmen in this game, which was

1078
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: a game plan. I guess all along we have known

1079
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:14,439
Speaker 1: that about Alabama. They are going to have to rely

1080
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:17,760
Speaker 1: on true freshmen to play. There were multiple true freshmen

1081
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: playing in their secondary yesterday. Now they're all good, They're

1082
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,719
Speaker 1: all really good. Playing multiple true freshmen has never been

1083
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 1: a recipe for high level success in one position group

1084
00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,439
Speaker 1: in this sport. But it's not out of the realm

1085
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: of possibility. When all of them are five star players

1086
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 1: and all of them have been there for the spring

1087
00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: and they're playing in the right system, and then you

1088
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,720
Speaker 1: got guys like sab on the back end that transferred

1089
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:42,520
Speaker 1: in from Washington, it's no guarantee it won't work either.

1090
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 2: We got to see Ryan Williams.

1091
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: We got to do more than just see clips of

1092
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: him from fall camp, and we got to see more

1093
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,280
Speaker 1: than just hype. And he touched the ball twice yesterday

1094
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:56,360
Speaker 1: and racked up one hundred and thirty nine yards and

1095
00:53:56,400 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 1: two touchdowns in the process.

1096
00:53:57,920 --> 00:53:58,520
Speaker 2: So he's good.

1097
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: But I'll tell you the one I'm most excited about,

1098
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 1: and he had one catch yesterday for twenty two yards.

1099
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 1: Kendrick Law I think, over the course of the season

1100
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 1: is going to benefit as much from the hire of

1101
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: Kaitlin de Borg as any offensive player in this system,

1102
00:54:13,960 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: Kendrick Law could be a monster in this offense. Kendrick

1103
00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 1: Law is a four hundred and fifty pounds bench guy.

1104
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:21,279
Speaker 1: He is a twenty three mile per hour GPS guy.

1105
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: I have it on pretty good authority, and he's the

1106
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:25,840
Speaker 1: kind of guy that just kind of gets lost in

1107
00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: the shuffle. And you know, Bama's got an army of

1108
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: four star caliber players down there. He's just another one.

1109
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:35,120
Speaker 1: And then in comes a new system, in comes a

1110
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: new staff, and like I said, he didn't light up

1111
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:40,320
Speaker 1: the stat sheet yesterday. I'm not even talking about yesterday.

1112
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you in general, I think I expect

1113
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: a whole lot from Kendrick Law this year at Alabama.

1114
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 1: Let's continue because this one was a little ugly too.

1115
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:51,439
Speaker 2: Final score is not as bad.

1116
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 1: Michigan ended up beating Fresno thirty to ten, which is

1117
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,799
Speaker 1: right around what the point spread was, twenty to twenty

1118
00:54:57,880 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 1: one points. Davis wore and ends up getting a start

1119
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 1: at quarterback. We had assumed in the spring alex Orgy.

1120
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 1: The closer we got to kick off sounded like there

1121
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 1: was more momentum in the Davis Warren camp. I don't

1122
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:14,040
Speaker 1: think this is a good thing for the program up there.

1123
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: It's a great thing for Davis Warren. It's just a

1124
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 1: wonderful story, so much so that it makes you feel

1125
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:23,399
Speaker 1: dirty having an opinion that's negative towards it.

1126
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 2: Because I'm all for that kid. We're gonna go see

1127
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 2: him on Saturday. All for it. I mean, research his

1128
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 2: story if you're not familiar.

1129
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is, I think they wanted alex

1130
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 1: Orgy to take the job. But the thing about it is,

1131
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,319
Speaker 1: you can want a guy to win a job all

1132
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 1: day long. He's still got to take the job. And

1133
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:45,719
Speaker 1: Alex Orgie never took the job, and that roster is

1134
00:55:45,840 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: probably built more for his skill set, like they probably

1135
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:55,359
Speaker 1: planned on him eventually winning that job and therefore structured

1136
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: their offensive philosophy and personnel around him. And now he

1137
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: has not taken it job, And now what do you do. Well,

1138
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 1: you're still in Michigan, so you still got really good

1139
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:05,920
Speaker 1: football players, so you go try and win every game

1140
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: you played.

1141
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:08,600
Speaker 2: And they won yesterday, and that's what counts.

1142
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,320
Speaker 1: Davis One was not bad either, I'm not saying anything

1143
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: like that. You give him credit, You give him credit

1144
00:56:13,680 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: for winning the job. All he did is what he's

1145
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: supposed to do. I guess you could say alex Orgy

1146
00:56:19,280 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: hasn't done everything he's supposed to do. I say that

1147
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: because if he had, he had won the job already.

1148
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,320
Speaker 1: But I think him not winning the job long term,

1149
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 1: if it stays the course, is a really bad sign

1150
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: for that program. This has not been a quarterback reliant program,

1151
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 1: so I'm not talking about them the way I would

1152
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 1: talk about some of these firework offenses that disproportionately lean

1153
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:42,960
Speaker 1: on the quarterback position. I watched him play last year,

1154
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: just like you did, and I know the complimentary style

1155
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,279
Speaker 1: that that program has won with and that team that's

1156
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,600
Speaker 1: won with, But I don't think it's the same caliber team.

1157
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 2: The offensive line is still mixing and matching.

1158
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 1: Their number two running back is significantly better than their

1159
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 1: number one running back. Happens to be on the cover

1160
00:57:00,719 --> 00:57:04,120
Speaker 1: of video games right now. I just talked about the

1161
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: quarterback situation. You've got historic staff turnover, you got a superstar,

1162
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:13,360
Speaker 1: and you got a loaded defense led by a superstar

1163
00:57:13,440 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: over there that can win you games. But listen, I

1164
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: just described Iowa over the past few years. Michigan certainly

1165
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: has higher respirations than Iowa. So you better be better

1166
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: than just Oh, our defense will go out there and

1167
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: win it for us. That's a harsh comparison. And I'm

1168
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: not making the apples to apples comparison because there is

1169
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: a much higher ceiling for Michigan offensively than Iowa certainly

1170
00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: has had. I mean, Iowa's ceiling has been a basement

1171
00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 1: floor offensively the last several years. But Colston Loveland to me,

1172
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 1: is the most dangerous pass catcher on this team right now,

1173
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: at least from the way I see it. So I'm

1174
00:57:47,720 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 1: talking about a tight end. There, a really good one,

1175
00:57:49,640 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 1: but I'm talking about a tight end. So I'm talking

1176
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: about a team that, as I just described, it does

1177
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:58,640
Speaker 1: not feel premiere whatsoever on the offensive side. So it

1178
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: is one that's going to have to have someone be

1179
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:03,720
Speaker 1: pretty dynamic at the quarterback position or else you're gonna

1180
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 1: have to hold teams under fourteen points if you really

1181
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,080
Speaker 1: hope to have security in feeling like you're gonna have

1182
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:14,800
Speaker 1: good game control. They're at well, they're not at Texas.

1183
00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,480
Speaker 1: They got Texas this Saturday.

1184
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:17,439
Speaker 2: We'll be there.

1185
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 1: Texas minus seven, minus seven and a half. I expect

1186
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: that number to go up a little bit before we

1187
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: go to what was the upset of the weekend according

1188
00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: to some I do want to remind you so FanDuel

1190

1191
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,280
Speaker 1: of games below five hundred to start the season yesterday.

1192
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,880
Speaker 1: So I went back in the archives and I checked,

1193
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 1: and last year we started the same We killed it

1194
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 1: in week two. We had an undefeated week two weeks

1195
00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:58,160
Speaker 1: after that, so that's okay. Two games below five hundred

1196
00:58:58,200 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: is not a big goal. We do have two games

1197
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 1: that we want to jump on early here, So Penn

1198
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:08,040
Speaker 1: State's playing Bowling Green Saturday. Love the situation, Always love

1199
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,120
Speaker 1: betting on James Franklin, period because if there's one dude

Speaker 1: and a half against Bowling Green with Penn State. Also,

1203
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:24,640

1205
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: and a half points with the Wildcats. So we are

Speaker 1: thirty four Virginia Tech twenty seven.

Speaker 1: our building here, Evan Abrams of Action Network. This is

1233
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: a paper popper of a stat According to Action Network,

1234
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: double digit favorites were fifty eight and one straight up.

1235

Speaker 1: whomstead of funk it us roll it the model likes Vandy.

1240
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: We have already made Vandy plus thirteen and a half

1241
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: a Roman Noudle express best bead. A lot of the

1242
01:01:36,120 --> 01:01:40,240
Speaker 1: movement that happened on this Vanderbilt roster sneaky good additions.

1243
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,200
Speaker 1: Tim Beck, the other Timbak, the one that was the

1244
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: OC at New Mexico State last year. Before that, he

1245
01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: was a D two head coach for a decade, and

1246
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 1: they picked him up and clark Lee made him the

1247
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, but he brought a couple of quarterbacks with him,

1248
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 1: brought a running back with him, brought a tight end

1249
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: with him. So there are pieces from a pretty effective

1250
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 1: offense out at New Mexico State. They do some different

1251
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,360
Speaker 1: stuff that they brought over, so it's not totally starting

1252
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: from scratch.

1253
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 2: It's a home situation for Vanderbilt.

1254
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 1: And if we look in our model here and we've

1255
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: got all the coaches graded, there is a really interesting,

1256
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: sneaky sort of coaching edge for Vandy in this game.

1257
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 1: We've invested heavily on those coaching grades. It has greatly

1258
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 1: enhanced the model's ability to read these sorts of things.

1259
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:31,400
Speaker 1: Diego Pavia out rushed Virginia Tech, the quarterback for Vanderbilt

1260
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:34,200
Speaker 1: out rushed Virginia Tech on his own, and I'm gonna

1261
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 1: tell you why. Firstly, it's because they held Virginia Tech

1262
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,640
Speaker 1: to seventy five yards rushing on thirty carries.

1263
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 2: And secondly, it's.

1264
01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: Because Virginia Tech couldn't run the ball nearly as often

1265
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 1: as they wanted, because that's what happens when you're down

1266
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 1: seventeen to nothing. So good for Vandy. I know that

1267
01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 1: no one talks about him. We rarely talk about him

1268
01:02:51,880 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 1: on this show. It is what it is. But it's

1269
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:57,160
Speaker 1: not because they're not working over there that all options

1270
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: have been considered over there. They cannot operate like LSU.

1271
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 1: They know that, and so they've exhausted all options and

1272
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: they apparently found a way to get it done there.

1273
01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: And now, so the over underwin total is two and

1274
01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: a half, right, Jesse. So they've got one win already.

1275
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:18,360
Speaker 1: They've got Alcorn State this week, they will be favored.

1276
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 1: They've got Georgia's State the next week. So this could

1277
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: be a situation one of those good old fashioned Vandy

1278
01:03:25,440 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 1: overs before September is over. Now they will eventually dive

1279
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,480
Speaker 1: into conference play with a ball state mixed in there.

1280
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 2: But good for Vanderbilt. Good for Vanderbilt. Now, does this

1281
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,160
Speaker 2: mean the sky is falling for Virginia Tech. No, it

1282
01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 2: does not.

1283
01:03:39,280 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: It just means that the hype bubble is popped, and

1284
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:43,480
Speaker 1: now it's time to go to work because as far

1285
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: as I can tell, you're still you're still perfect in

1286
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 1: conference play because you're zero and zero. They play Marshall

1287
01:03:51,480 --> 01:03:54,560
Speaker 1: this Saturday, and then they got Old Dominion and then

1288
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:57,960
Speaker 1: they got Rutgers. They don't jump into conference play until

1289
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:00,480
Speaker 1: the twenty seventh of September. That's the good news. The

1290
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: bad news as of now is that is against Miami

1291
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: on the road on a Friday night. So I don't

1292
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,800
Speaker 1: know what they need to rectify there. I just know

1293
01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: that they need to rectify there. Okay, good show tonight.

1294
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 1: We kept it crisp. We kept it a little bit

1295
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 1: condensed cause some of these Sunday shows could go like

1296
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,600
Speaker 1: two hours because we've got a big game tonight and

1297
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 1: as I'm talking to you live, that game's about to start.

1298
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,800
Speaker 1: If you're listening to the replay, forget everything I just said.

1299
01:04:28,840 --> 01:04:31,720
Speaker 1: But remember this. We keep this show free because you

1304

Speaker 2: not because I see our numbers.

1305
01:04:43,080 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 1: Over fifty percent of our audience is not subscribed, which

1306
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,520
