1
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny how contenders quote unquote contenders are

2
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: held to a different standard. What no one would do that, Josh.

3
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,599
Speaker 1: We all judge these teams by the same measuring stick. No,

4
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: you don't, No, you don't. I'll prove to you you don't.

5
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 1: Georgia won a game by seven yesterday. It's a national crisis,

6
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: crisis of the moment. I'm going to lead the show

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: with it. I was at the game yesterday. They won

8
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 1: a game by seven? How dare they? And folks are

9
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: criticizing them for it. That's because they're held to a

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: different standard than other contenders. You notice how Washington also

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: won a game by seven. No, what are you saying?

12
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: You didn't notice that they only squeaked by Arizona's backup

13
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: quarterback by seven. It's not a big deal. There is

14
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: no freak out. Why because you expect more from Georgia

15
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: than you do from Washington. Even if some people on

16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: my I Josh, in my close personal social circle, claim

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: otherwise we are jam packed. We are high atop a

18
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: wide open downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Every bit is wide open.

19
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: As that old playoff picture that we swear we'll never

20
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: talk about until the month of November, but may very

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: well do tonight. It is Sunday, October first. The over

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three, I got full Week five reaction. Who

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: is a contender? How do we even define the word

24
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: contender these days? I've got to talk to you about that.

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: I'm seeing things, I'm hearing things, I'm thinking things that

26
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: I thought i'd never see here and think on October first,

27
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: and yet here we are. I've got to talk to

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: you about where we're going this Saturday for the week

29
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: six destination of the Once Upon a Saturday tour. I

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: don't know if it's going to be the longest Sunday

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: show we've ever done, but man, from an elemental standpoint,

32
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: from an atonement standpoint, I've got to say I'm sorry

33
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: a number of times tonight, which you know I love.

34
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: It's going to be a jam packed show where they're

35
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: watching us in Auburn, Alabama. We were there yesterday watching

36
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: us in Fresno, California. Fresno failed to cover last night.

37
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: They gave up a touchdown with eleven seconds to go

38
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: to Nevada, and it cut some of us very deeply.

39
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: That's all I'll say about that. They're watching us in Ashburne,

40
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: Virginia and Newburgh, Indiana. I think most of you are

41
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: following on Instagram. But if you're not, man, did you

42
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: miss some good behind the scenes content yesterday at Auburn

43
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: Georgia at late kick Josh. If you're not following already,

44
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: great stuff there. I don't know what it tells. I

45
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: don't know what else tell you. I'm telling you I

46
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: was there. It was the CBS Saturday Game of the Week,

47
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: and there's probably stuff in that Instagram story. Even the

48
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: CBS cameras didn't capture, so it's free. There's no catch.

49
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you need to be following over there.

50
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: With that in mind, let us with a double clap

51
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: dive into tonight's show. Georgia beat Auburn yesterday twenty seven

52
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: to twenty. Now, once upon a time in this rivalry

53
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: it was a little more evenly matched. Therefore, once upon

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: a time, this would be a great story for Georgia.

55
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: But now Georgia all of a sudden won a couple

56
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: of national championships ho hum yon yan, and therefore only

57
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: winning by seven is viewed with a pejorative light cast

58
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: upon it. I could fill one hundred garbage trucks. By

59
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: the way, with the criticism we got when we told

60
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: you we were taking the Once upon a Saturday tour

61
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: to this game, why would you do that? That's going

62
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: to be a blowout. George is the number one team

63
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: in the country, Auburn's hot garbage. Didn't you see what

64
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: they didn't do against A and M last week? I

65
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: saw it, friends, I saw it. I also wasn't shocked

66
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: at the outcome yesterday. I wasn't shocked that Auburn led

67
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: in this thing. I explained to you why what ended

68
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: up happening was going to happen. We're not always right

69
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: about everything, true enough. Sometimes coaches and kids and officials

70
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: screw it up. So we've never been wrong, but sometimes

71
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: we're made to look wrong. But in this one, we

72
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: were dead on the money. Georgia to win, Auburn to

73
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: cover Bada being Bada boom. I do have to tell you, though,

74
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 1: just one quick thing, as we dive into this game,

75
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: I was guilty even though we got the game right.

76
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: I was guilty of well, I was guilty of fake

77
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: news yesterday and it pains me. And this is my

78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: first of about three or four apologies in the show tonight.

79
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: Not gonna be my best look tonight. I got to

80
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: Jordenhare Stadium like nine hours early yesterday because we had

81
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: CBSHQ obligations, which I'm happy to do, by the way,

82
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: and so I had the worst thing in the world

83
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: that I could have on my hands free time in

84
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 1: an empty football stadium. So I got to wandering around,

85
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: and I know Jordenhare Stadium like the back of my hand.

86
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: I've been there many many times. So I walk up

87
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 1: George's tunnel. George is not even there yet, and I

88
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: see this fascinating contraption. And if you actually saw the

89
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: tweet I put out, and judging by the numbers most

90
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: of you did, I took video of it. It's this contraption.

91
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: It's this trailer on like on wheels, as most trailers are,

92
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: and it's got six bathrooms on it. It's mobile bathrooms. Now,

93
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: these things have been around for a long time, but

94
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,039
Speaker 1: as you guys know, it does not take much to

95
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: impress me and to fascinate me. And so I thought

96
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,719
Speaker 1: America needed to see this because I've told you for

97
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: a long time the visiting accommodations in the SEC are

98
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: not accommodations at all. They're just places that you can

99
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: temporarily exist. There's not enough room for the bigger teams,

100
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: and Georgia is one of those bigger teams. And by bigger,

101
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: I mean they carry more folks, more staff on the road.

102
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: And so when Alabama, when Georgia, when they roll in there,

103
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: when LSU rolls in there, everything just kind of spills

104
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,479
Speaker 1: out into the concourse, into the walkway. They're just it's

105
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: the beauty of home field and going on the road

106
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: in the SEC and college football, well, I thought that Georgia,

107
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: in that attention to detail that's specific only to a

108
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: razor sharp few programs in America, I thought they had

109
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: taken it upon themselves to bring their own bathrooms. I

110
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: was fooled, and I put it out there for the masses,

111
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: and I told you, Georgia has such great attention to detail.

112
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: They brought their own bathrooms to Jordan Hare Stadium and

113
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: it went all over the place. And then Kirk Sampson,

114
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: longtime Auburn sid or as we know him here a

115
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 1: living breathing angel, kindly texted me as I was on

116
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: my way home last night and said, just so you know,

117
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: we've had those there all year. That's not a Georgia thing,

118
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: And it was kind of like slapping someone with a

119
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: text message. And I know that he meant it out

120
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: of love, and he sent it out of love. He

121
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 1: even put a double fist emoji afterwards. Probably meant to

122
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: punch me, but I took it as just a solid

123
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: fist pump. You'll do better make sure you would tone

124
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: for this on the show tomorrow night. So I am

125
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: so I take that back. I officially retract that Georgia

126
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: did not bring their own bathrooms. They did bring brock Bauers, though,

127
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: and it turns out that's all they needed. I actually

128
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: felt like most of America had no clue who Georgia

129
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: was going into this game. Most of America has not

130
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: watched Georgia to this point during the season. You kind

131
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: of know that they trailed South Carolina and came back

132
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: and won. You may or may not have watched that game.

133
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: You certainly didn't watch them against Kent State or U

134
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 1: two Chattanooga, nor should you have. That's what I'm here for,

135
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: so you don't have to watch all that. But the

136
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: trade off if you hadn't watched those games is you

137
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: saw the number one next to Georgia's name. You just

138
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: assume it's a rinse repeat version of what they've been

139
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: the last two years. It's not that they're not as

140
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: good as those teams. I'm not saying they're not that

141
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: good relatively speaking, and maybe they will end up being that.

142
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: But they started slow against UT Martin. They started slow

143
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: against Ball State. Where in the world did I get

144
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: the names of the teams? I just said they hadn't

145
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: played either one of those anyway. They played the equivalent

146
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: of UT CHAT, they played the equivalent of Kent State,

147
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: and they struggled. They trailed South Carolina fourteen to three

148
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: at the half. They didn't particularly come out on fire

149
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: out of the gate against UAB, So they've had issues

150
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: all year. But I don't think most of America knew

151
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: about that. So most of America knew the number one

152
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: team in the country was going to play a team

153
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: that A and M just drug. And that's really not

154
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: how this sport works. It's not how this rivalry works,

155
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: and especially the external dynamics of being in wounded animal mode,

156
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: having lost on the road and coming back home. It

157
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: doesn't lend itself to another blowout. Just it's rarely the

158
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: way it happens. But the one thing America did know

159
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: about Georgia is they got number nineteen. It's probably the

160
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: best football player in the country right now, and if

161
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: he's not, he's on a short list for that. And

162
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: it turns out that's all you needed to know, because

163
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: that's who took over the game in the second half.

164
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 1: Very modest numbers for brock Bowers in the first half,

165
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: but he took over in the second half and it

166
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: was dominant. It was all eyes on him, all attention

167
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: being paid to him. Got pretty wide open on that

168
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: square in on third down, But other than that, it

169
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 1: didn't really matter what Auburn did. And think about that,

170
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about a wide receiver. I'm talking

171
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: about a tight end that is mismatch city for the

172
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: most athletic of secondaries in the country. Still a mismatch city.

173
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: So that happened, and brock Bowers had more. Brock Bowers

174
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: is George's best receiving option by a mile, obviously, but

175
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: he also everybody knows that, and like he still took

176
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 1: over the game. But the thing that I did not

177
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: know and was still unaware of until I left the

178
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: stadium last night was a lot of Georgia fans were

179
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: being critical of Carson Beck. And I'm just sitting here

180
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: telling you I don't even know what game you watched.

181
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: We didn't watch the same game. If you're critical of

182
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: Carson Beck, I know you just had Stetson Bennett put

183
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: up a Heisman caliber season. And I know you're watching,

184
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: like Michael Pennix up at Washington go off and you're

185
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 1: watching Jaden Daniels down at LSU do incredible things. That's

186
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 1: not what you have. It's not the offense you run,

187
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: it's not the quarterback you have. And I watched Carson

188
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: Beck last night. Who is the quarterback you have go

189
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: on the road for the first time. I think some

190
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: people have lost I think a lot of people have

191
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: lost all sense of what it takes to win on

192
00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: the road in college football because it is not easy.

193
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: I was in Kirby's postgame press conference last night. He

194
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: gets this stuff. I think he probably gets it about

195
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: as much as any coach because he always talks about it.

196
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: It is so insanely hard to do that stuff, To

197
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: go on the road when everybody's got you circled by

198
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: the way, to go on the road and to as

199
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: your first start as a road quarterback, not let the

200
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: moment overwhelm you. I was on the field yesterday when

201
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: Auburn takes a ten to zero lead. Do you have

202
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 1: any idea what that place sounded like? Did Carson beck

203
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: ever look rattled? He threw an interception, by the way,

204
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: did he ever look rattle? Did you ever have that

205
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,040
Speaker 1: deer in the headlights moment? Because he got wiped out

206
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 1: a time or two as well. They call that baptism

207
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: in college football. That's what they call that. When you

208
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: go on the road and you get your clock totally

209
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: clean for the first time, how do you respond the

210
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: next drive? He was fine. He looked at number nineteen,

211
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: which is exactly what the quarterback at Georgia should do.

212
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: He found brock Bowers, So I looked at it. And

213
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: he goes twenty three or thirty three touchdown, an interception,

214
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 1: second half, he comes alive, multiple clutch throws when they

215
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: need it, And I'm thinking to myself, with the defense

216
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: that Georgia has, which is not elite right now but

217
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 1: still very good, that's exactly what I would want. I

218
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: would want a guy not to wilt under the pressure

219
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: I'd want him to make some pressure throws in the

220
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,199
Speaker 1: second half, find my playmakers get out of there with

221
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 1: a win. That's exactly what he did. Check check check

222
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: check check. And so I go into Kirby's postgame press conference,

223
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 1: I come back out on the field, I do my

224
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: postgame stuff for CBS, and we pack up and we're

225
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: on the road and I'm finding out via the eye Josh,

226
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: people are criticizing Carson Bek. When I say people, I

227
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 1: mean people in Clayton and Rome and Valdosta and Tye

228
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 1: Tie and Brunswick. What are you people thinking? I say,

229
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 1: you people. I can speak to my home state crowd

230
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: like this, Are you crazy? You ought to be excited

231
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: about what you saw yesterday. That's not the ceiling, it's

232
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: not the finished product of Carson Bek. That's the floor.

233
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: That's the entry point for him this season, and for

234
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: a lot of ways, that's the entry point for your

235
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: team this season. Kirby's been honest about this all year.

236
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: Kirby Smart's been dead honest about this team the entire season.

237
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: If you want to know about Georgia, just listen to

238
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: the head coach. He's not one that sugarcoat stuff. They've

239
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: had slow starts multiple times. I imagine they're trying every

240
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: which way to rectify that. There is no you don't

241
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:15,559
Speaker 1: go to the store and buy the solution to start

242
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: games faster. They've had a turnover issues yesterday that almost

243
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,599
Speaker 1: cost him a game. They're not as good upfront defensively

244
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: as they have been. He talked to us on this

245
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: show about that over the summer. They don't have an

246
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 1: elite receiver, they got an elite tight end, and the

247
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 1: run game is not on par with some of the

248
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 1: higher level run games they've had in the past. That

249
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: spells out a vulnerable team. Really good team, but a

250
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: vulnerable team. George is not an elite team right now.

251
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 1: They didn't come into Auburn Elite, they didn't leave Auburn Elite.

252
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 1: They also are not a finished product of what they

253
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 1: could be. That's what a lot of teams have in

254
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: common when you exit week five, and so I'm excited

255
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 1: to see where they go. But man, the biggest takeaway

256
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: I had was I think cause folks go into the

257
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: Xbox mentality of just seeing Auburn struggle in a game

258
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: mightily knowing Georgia's got the one next to their name,

259
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: their favor by two touchdowns. That's it. That's how the

260
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: game's gonna play out. Fights are not scripted. That's just

261
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 1: not the way it works. When you get down ten, oh,

262
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 1: if you did have it scripted, throw it all out

263
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: the window, and all of a sudden, it's a fight

264
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: for four quarters. And the crowd that sits at home

265
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: on the couch and thinks that games are played on

266
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: this right here. I know yesterday didn't make a lot

267
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 1: of sense to you, But if you've been around this stuff,

268
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: if you watched it, I don't care if you coached

269
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: it or played it. If you've watched it and you're

270
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: know how to properly interpret this sport, yesterday was not

271
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: shocking at all. I don't think less of Georgia. I

272
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: don't necessarily think a whole lot more of Auburn. I

273
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: got what I thought I would get from the game.

274
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 1: Auburn is one or two cycles away still from having

275
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 1: the kind of roster that doesn't need multiple turnovers to

276
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 1: be in this game, that doesn't need home field to

277
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: be in this game. In other words, if this game

278
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: and Athens Georgia, yesterday probably plays out a little bit different.

279
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: And so yes, it's good. It's great that Auburn hung

280
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 1: in this game. It's admirable. It means there's a lot

281
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: of fight on that team. It means Hugh Freeze is

282
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: probably getting everything and then some out of that roster

283
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: that he can. They're not a good football team right now.

284
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 1: He knows that his staff knows that. They're very upfront

285
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: and honest about that, and they also know they can

286
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: change it, and they're also very confident they're gonna change it.

287
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: They got the resources to change it, they got the

288
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 1: mentality to change it. But you saw him do some

289
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: different things at quarterback yesterday. You saw Peyton Thorn run

290
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: all over the place. Did you see that last week?

291
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 1: Not necessarily. You saw Robby Ashford in the game a

292
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: little bit. You saw play calling switch up yesterday. All

293
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: of those things were part of the impetus for us

294
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: picking Auburn to cover the spread yesterday. Cluse when you

295
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 1: try things and they don't work, i e. Auburn against

296
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,880
Speaker 1: Texas A and M, there's no incentive to keep doing it.

297
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 1: So they threw some stuff against the wall yesterday. Some

298
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: of it stuck. Enough of it stuck for it to

299
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 1: be a four quarter game, and there you go. Environment

300
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: was off the charts. Environment was what you would expect

301
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: there when you get an early lead. There were a

302
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: lot of people kind of questioning whether Auburn can hang.

303
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: You can always feel that vibe when a building starts

304
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: to fill up, you can close your eyes. I don't

305
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: know what it is about the vibe and the way

306
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 1: you can feel it, but you can feel it. Maybe

307
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: it's a sixth sense. I don't know. You know, well,

308
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with that. I have a sixth sense,

309
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: and I just I can feel these sorts of things.

310
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: It's a gift. It's a talent that sounds a lot better.

311
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: So you could tell they wanted a reason to believe.

312
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden they get a reason to believe,

313
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: two of them. They get two early scores from that

314
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 1: point on vintage Jorden Hair Stadium extremely loud, which makes

315
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 1: it all the more impressive to me that Carson Beck

316
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 1: and that offense were able to operate like they did.

317
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean, there weren't a critical amount of false starts

318
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: and procedural penalties at all. It's the way it should

319
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: have been for a first time starter on the road,

320
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: and it wasn't. So I don't know. I don't think

321
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: a whole lot more plus or minus from either of

322
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: these teams. Is a really good team capable of still

323
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: winning a championship, but they've got deficiencies. Auburn is ten

324
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: fingers trying to plug thirteen holes in the damn but

325
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 1: still capable on any given sort of Saturday, especially when

326
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: you leverage home field and turnovers to be able to

327
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: do something like this. Guys, when you can play defense

328
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: at that level and you can guarantee that you're going

329
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: to hold the opposition in the high teens, low twenties,

330
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 1: it greatly increases the margins of opportunity that you have

331
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: knowing you don't have to score forty, you don't have

332
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,760
Speaker 1: to do what LSU found out they had to do yesterday.

333
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 1: In other words, great experience. They always take care of

334
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: us at Auburn. I didn't go to Auburn. Nobody in

335
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: my immediate family went to Auburn. I didn't grow up

336
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: in Auburn. Going to Auburn still always feels like a

337
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: homecoming for me. I did grow up forty five minutes away,

338
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: so it's probably got a lot to do with it,

339
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: But we appreciate them. They always take care of us.

340
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 1: And that was where the Once Upon a Saturday tour

341
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: was yesterday, which begs the question, does it not? Where

342
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: will the Once Upon a Saturday Tour be this week? Well,

343
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: I did not want to bury this deep in the

344
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: show because I'm excited about it. I was also conflicted

345
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 1: about it. But I tweeted out earlier today I had

346
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 1: arrived at a conclusion for where we were going this

347
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,040
Speaker 1: year or this week, and I'm at peace with it.

348
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 1: And I am at peace with it. But anyone who's

349
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: been around this show knows Week six, two years ago

350
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 1: I made. Let's just go ahead and call it what

351
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: it is, the biggest mistake of my life. We were

352
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: credentialed for the red River shootout, and we were also

353
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: credentialed for Alabama at Texas A and M one was

354
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 1: an eleven am kickoff. Central one was a seven o'clock kickoff.

355
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: Central could have easily gone to both. I go to

356
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: red River. It's the highest scoring game in the history

357
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: of that rivalry, instant classic, unbelievable, and I think to myself,

358
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: that's it. We've gotten our field for the day. Bama's

359
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: favored by like three touchdowns in College Station I don't

360
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: want to go down there and see a blowout. So

361
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm on a plane flying home somewhere over Arkansas. Thanks

362
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: to free Southwest WiFi, I am watching A and M

363
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 1: take down Alabama, knowing I could have been there see

364
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 1: two field stormings in one day. Hoops amongst us gets

365
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: that opportunity me and I threw it in the garbage.

366
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: So here we are again, same week. Bama's going on

367
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,439
Speaker 1: a road to A and M two thirty kickoff on

368
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 1: CBS this week. And we've got ou Texas eleven am

369
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: at the State Fair. We've got Kentucky at Georgia. All

370
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 1: Kentucky did was run for half a mile yesterday against Florida.

371
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: More on that in a little while. So where are

372
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 1: we going? We're going to the Red River Shootouts. Where

373
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: we're going, We're headed to the Texas State Fair and

374
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 1: then inside that Texas State Fair as the funnel cake

375
00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: wafts over everyone. We have got top ten Oklahoma, we

376
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: got top ten Texas. It is the highest ranked these

377
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: teams have been in this rivalry, I think, or maybe

378
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: maybe it's undefeated this late in the season, since like

379
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: twenty eleven. I am jacked for this, went there two

380
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 1: years ago. I get to go back again. I think

381
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: that a lot of America probably looks at this Saturday

382
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: as maybe a referendum on not Steve Sarkejian because he's

383
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: got the Bama win. But I don't think a lot

384
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: of people have been watching Oklahoma. Oklahoma's been off the radar.

385
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: Are that you've just seen their final scores. Oklahoma is

386
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 1: going to be introduced to a lot of America this Saturday.

387
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: I'm really excited about it. This was the game two

388
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: years ago where Spencer Ratler gets booed by his own

389
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 1: fans and then this kid named Caleb Williams comes in

390
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 1: and leads Oklahoma to victory. Unbelievable storyline, storyline, storyline. It's

391
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: this game's never scripted, obviously, but it kind of feels

392
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 1: that way. It's just like dripping with drama and intrigue.

393
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 1: This is gonna be an SEC contest next year, but

394
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: it's Big twelve this year and we're gonna be there

395
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: and I cannot wait. And small reminder as of right

396
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 1: now in the Pate State store paytstatematerial dot com, the

397
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: shirt's there. Auburn bonkers numbers of their shirts yesterday for

398
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 1: the tour stopped there. Well, the tours headed to Dallas,

399
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: Texas and the real Cotton Bowl, the og Cotton Bowl,

400
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: this Saturday. Again. I cannot wait. This is a game

401
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: where there are no luxury suites, random billionaires walk by

402
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: you on the sidelines. It's unbelievable. And there it is.

403
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: The once upon a Saturday shirt headed to Dallas, Texas

404
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: this weekend. That shirt will be available for one week

405
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: and one week only. Paytstatemateial dot com. Let's continue in

406
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: the show. I am so happy we just made that announcement.

407
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: USC beat Colorado yesterday. USC beat Colorado forty eight to

408
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 1: forty one yesterday. This was a page turner game. To me.

409
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk about Colorado, as there

410
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: should be. It's been the story of college football. It

411
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: was like a three month month. That's how long September felt.

412
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 1: College football seasons are so long, There're so long. I

413
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: think Colorado started to find that out in the best

414
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: of ways. I mean, if they're talking about you, normally

415
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: it's for good reasons. But this was a page turner

416
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,920
Speaker 1: game because I think a lot of folks got worked

417
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: up when they beat TCU in Nebraska again, as they

418
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 1: should have, but they started looking down the road. Ooh,

419
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna play Oregon. Ooh, they're gonna play USC. Ooh,

420
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: they'll lose both those games. Well they did, and they did.

421
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: Now that's a page turner because a lot of the

422
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: casual energy and a lot of the casuals that were

423
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: attracted as long as you're undefeated will fall by the wayside.

424
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: But there'll still be a ton of attention on this program.

425
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:35,239
Speaker 1: I just think it'll be more based in realism. Like

426
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: the ones that are going to be paying attention to

427
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: Colorado now are folks who understand it's a miracle what

428
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,919
Speaker 1: Dion's done. Period. Already, they've overachieved, and they shouldn't be

429
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 1: competitive yet with Oregon, and shouldn't really have been competitive

430
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 1: as they were yesterday against Southern Cal. They were testament credit.

431
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,239
Speaker 1: Give credit where it's due. But also let's keep our

432
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: feet on the ground when talking about Colorado. But on

433
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: this show, we do like to talk about the winner first,

434
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: and I just kind of violated that rule. And I'm

435
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,119
Speaker 1: sure the folks over on the peristyle will have a

436
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 1: lot of fun with that. If you know, you know

437
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 1: USC forty plus in every game so far this year.

438
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams yesterday, he knew, he knew America was watching him.

439
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 1: Thirty or forty four to three, six touchdowns. Yes, that

440
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 1: was USC quarterback defending well raining Heisman Trophy winner Kayleb

441
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: Williams day. Very interesting game, dominant first half from USC

442
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: that then gets overshadowed because Colorado mounts this furious comeback.

443
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: And sometimes I'm not saying this is what happened yesterday.

444
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes teams that don't necessarily have championship medal about themselves

445
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: yet in other words, teams that are prone to taking

446
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: their foot off the gas and not play into a

447
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 1: standard for four quarters, which is ninety eight percent of teams,

448
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: they get up so big that they let their foot

449
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: off the gas. It's very psychological. You you say you

450
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,199
Speaker 1: don't want to do it, but you can't help it.

451
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: I look, that's what it felt like USC did to

452
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 1: me yesterday. And it sounds so counterintuitive, but it's almost

453
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: a situation where in retrospect you look back and say, man,

454
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,919
Speaker 1: I wish they would have only led seventeen to seven

455
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 1: in the second corner instead of thirty four to seven,

456
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: cause once it got thirty four to seven, everyone starts

457
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: packing it up. Hey who we got next week? And

458
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: oh by oh wait, wait what's Colorado doing? Oh the

459
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: game's not over yet. Boom, they're right in your rear view.

460
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: It's forty eight forty one on sidekick. Who knows what

461
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: could happen us? Here's what I'm saying, USC looks very

462
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: sus sus half if you will, in the second half,

463
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 1: that was the most dominant half of football I've seen

464
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 1: him play in the first half, though, I'm not forgetting

465
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: either one of them, is my point. I'm not gonna

466
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: forget the first half where I said they're flexing. They're

467
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: flexing in a game they should flex in. But they're flexing.

468
00:23:55,880 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: And in the second half, will those popcorn muscles have?

469
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: They just been doing buys and tries and calves every day.

470
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: And it's still TBD because we still really hadn't seen

471
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: them tested against an equally equipped opponent. But I got

472
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: a credit Colorado too. Now. In a lot of ways,

473
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: the second half of this game showed me more than

474
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 1: any other game Colorado's played so far this year. Casuals

475
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 1: won't believe that because they lost the game, they lost

476
00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 1: the game they're supposed to lose. They lost the game,

477
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: they were supposed to lose by three plus scorers, and

478
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: they were down and had every reason to check out

479
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: and fought back. Now again, a casual would say, well,

480
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 1: what were they gonna do besides fight back? Quit? Quit?

481
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: Check out? Mentally, that's what they were gonna do. If

482
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,359
Speaker 1: you don't believe me, turn on your TV. Folks do

483
00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: it every week. Teams do it every week, even early

484
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: in the season. Teams do it every week. So Deon's

485
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: got full buy in out there. I think that's been

486
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:53,720
Speaker 1: pretty obvious. But it taught me a lot about the

487
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: competitive character of Colorado's program, not just individual players, but

488
00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: the program. But I'll tell you what else is taught

489
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: me about. Taught me about usse's defense. Maybe it didn't

490
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,040
Speaker 1: teach me anything I didn't already know, but it reminded me,

491
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: that's a better word. It reminded me something about USC's defense.

492
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 1: Eighteen miss tackles yesterday. Colorado cannot run the ball, and

493
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: they ran it for one hundred and ninety three yards yesterday.

494
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: Lincoln Riley was asked after the game, do you still

495
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: have confidence in Alex Grinch, the defensive coordinator. Three words quote, yes,

496
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:33,880
Speaker 1: I do, unquote, I don't expect anything otherwise from him.

497
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:36,120
Speaker 1: I've told you I thought this was a proven year

498
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: for Alex Grinch. It's an ongoing year. I'm fully willing

499
00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:44,320
Speaker 1: to not judge it as it's currently unfolding. But I'm

500
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: looking at this USC schedule and they are one, two, three, four, five,

501
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 1: and oh now they got Arizona coming up. Tricky, but

502
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: they got Arizona coming up, and then that run starts.

503
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: There is a run. There are six games at the

504
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 1: end of the year where they go at Notre Dame, Utah,

505
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:08,919
Speaker 1: at Cal Washington, at Oregon Ucla. They could end up undefeated.

506
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: They could end up a two or three lost team.

507
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: Have no clue. I feel like I know the least

508
00:26:15,880 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: about USC is any of these highly ranked teams. It's

509
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: not their fault. It's the schedule. So it's no one's

510
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: really fault. But Deon's been right. Colorado is coming. The

511
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: absolutely are coming. Nothing about these two games takes me

512
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 1: off of that. In fact, it probably even speeds up

513
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 1: that thought around the entire Colorado program. I think he's right.

514
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: I think Deon's right when he says this is the

515
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: worst will be. So I buy into everything he's saying.

516
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: I actually think, I actually think when you get down

517
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: to the substance of what Deon Sanders has been about

518
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: with this program, it's been pretty awesome because he's been

519
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: brutally honest. The Cormoni McLain stuff. For example, Cormoni McClain

520
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: was a five star dB that it came down to

521
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: the wire with and Colorado got him. And he goes

522
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: out there and everyone just assumes all of the incoming

523
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: transfers and true freshmen are going to start, especially the

524
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: five star kids, and you were right, most of them have.

525
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 1: McLain has not. So Dion's been asked about him, and

526
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 1: Dion said, well, Cormione McLain's holding Cormione McClain back. It's

527
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: talking about a true freshman and not throwing him under

528
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: the bus. But I imagine when Dion Sanders set that

529
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: kid down and said, if you want to come play

530
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: for me, this is how you're going to be treated.

531
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: I'm treating you like a man. This is the nil world,

532
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: by the way, this is the world where we pay

533
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 1: you for your services. You can call it whatever you

534
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: want to, but that's what it is. We are paying

535
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:48,719
Speaker 1: you a essentially a salary for your services. That's called employment. Again,

536
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: not officially, but in the world of employment, you're given

537
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: something and something is expected in returning. When you don't

538
00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: fulfill that into the bargain, you're handled not with kid gloves,

539
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: handled with adult standards. And he's handled a kid with

540
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: adult standards. You notice I say kid with adult standards

541
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: because I still think of that as a kid. But

542
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: he ain't treated him like one. But at the same time,

543
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: he's not impugned his character or anything like that. I

544
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: imagine Corminia McLain's got a ment respect for Dion Sanders

545
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: because of that, and so, like I've that's a microcosm

546
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: of a lot of the ways he's gone about his

547
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,520
Speaker 1: business out there. I got a lot of respect for it.

548
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:28,320
Speaker 1: It's different. I don't mind that. Some people mind that,

549
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 1: and that's that's fine. That's your total prerogative and constitutional

550
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: right to feel that way. But he's been right about

551
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: everything he said. I still think he's right. It's just

552
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: they lost the game yesterday, they'll probably lose some more,

553
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: and yet I will view them as a massive overachiever

554
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the year. USC current odds to

555
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: win the PAC twelve championship still the favorite, Washington second,

556
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: Oregon third. There is virtually no separation in the odds

557
00:28:55,800 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: market between the three. Academy Sports and Outdoors your one

558
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: stop shop for all things outdoor sporting goods. Plus when

559
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: I was in Auburn yesterday, I looked across the sea

560
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 1: of tailgates and it was just littered with Academy. Whether

561
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: it was grills, even though it's not an Academy grill,

562
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: could be a tragger, could be a pit boss. But

563
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: we had a number of grills and I know goodwell

564
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 1: were purchased from Academy cause the tents the folks were

565
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: under were Academy. The chairs that were sitting in were Academy.

566
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: Beautiful thing. Academy Sports and Outdoors makes this show free

567
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,719
Speaker 1: to you, and if you cannot get there in person,

568
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 1: that's totally fine. They understand it. I understand it. Academy

569
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: dot Com is your hookup, and I always say tell

570
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: them I sent you. Regrettably, it does not get you

571
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 1: a discount, but I just I think it makes me

572
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: feel good, and so it makes me really feel good

573
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 1: when you guys snap pictures of those receipts in the

574
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 1: parking lot and then you randomly DM them to me.

575
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: I forward them right onto Academy, forward them right onto

576
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: our reps. So Academy Sports and Outdoors, make sure you

577
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: make a trip over there, especially as the seasons start

578
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: to transition. You need some new outer where you need

579
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 1: new a lot of things, and I know good and

580
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: well they've got it. So Academy is your hookup. Academy

581
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 1: dot com if you can't get there in person. Oh

582
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: my goodness, I've been waiting to talk about this game.

583
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: Welcome in. If you're watching live. We have thousands upon

584
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: thousands watching live, but we only have seven hundred and

585
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 1: seventy eight likes. Mathematically, it is a fact we can

586
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: do a lot better. So click the thumbs up button.

587
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you three seconds while I take a

588
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: sit from the challice. Okay, we're back Ole Miss with

589
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: the double nickel. Last night, fifty five to forty nine.

590
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: They beat LSU. What do we love on this show?

591
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: We love a wounded animal scratch that we love teams

592
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 1: in wounded animal mode. At PETA we had Ole Miss

593
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: and wounded Animal mode, did we not? We had Auburn

594
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: in wounded Animal mode and they put up a fight. Well,

595
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: ol Miss goes to Bama, they lose, They come home,

596
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: they're facing LSU. We picked Old Miss to win last week.

597
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: Some people chimed in as expected, but that's okay. So

598
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:25,239
Speaker 1: we end up nailing this one, immunity. And yet I

599
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: listened to it on the way home last night and

600
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:32,240
Speaker 1: I was like, I had some thoughts about LSU, but

601
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: we talked about the winners first. On this show, Styles

602
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 1: Make Fights. The style of these two teams did not

603
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: favor LSU in this one. Is this a signature win

604
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:47,080
Speaker 1: for Lane Kiffin? I'd say, yeah, it is. It may

605
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: not be the biggest win he ever gets, but to

606
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: this point, man, he needed it. Old Missus season was

607
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: on the line yesterday and this was Jackson Dart's day.

608
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: Like remember such a long time ago. Now, remember in

609
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: spring and then SEC media days we're talking about, Yeah,

610
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart's there, but oh man, we got some transfers

611
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 1: coming in there. Spencer Sanders transferred there from Oklahoma State.

612
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: Where is he? Where is he? He's on the bench

613
00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 1: because Jackson Dart did what he should have done. Take

614
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: it as a personal challenge. Lock down my job and

615
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,720
Speaker 1: it's his job, and it never what in his job,

616
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 1: and he goes twenty six for thirty nine yesterday, three

617
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: eighty nine through the air, another fifty on the ground,

618
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: five total touchdowns, total warrior effort. Because he got knocked

619
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: around big time the week before. And I always love

620
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: watching dudes. How do how does a team respond and

621
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: how do you respond after after you get grass stained

622
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: the week before? Ole miss got grass stained last week

623
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,959
Speaker 1: and they played the game of the year to this point,

624
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 1: four of themselves last night Quenchawn Judkins. They've tried to

625
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: get him back healthy and I don't know what percentage

626
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: he was at last night, but thirty three carries for

627
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy seven yards and a receiving touchdown

628
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: as well as a rushing touchdown. Good enough for me.

629
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,720
Speaker 1: He's so good. It was a fight for them to

630
00:33:08,800 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: keep him. I imagine you know exactly what I'm talking about,

631
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: but they kept him. I imagine Lane Kiffin after last

632
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: year walking into those meetings when they're first getting cranked

633
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: up on twenty twenty three and everyone's trying to figure

634
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 1: out what are we going to do? Schematically, Hey, which

635
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 1: players are we going to target? I imagine him walking in,

636
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: dropping a pin on the table and say, how about

637
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: we keep number four? How about that? How about we

638
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: keep number four home before we decide who we're going

639
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 1: to try and go out and get. They did, They

640
00:33:37,600 --> 00:33:40,440
Speaker 1: kept him home, And now Quinn Shawn Judkins week by

641
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,000
Speaker 1: week looks a little bit more, a little bit more healthy. Man.

642
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 1: College football games are so much looser, They can get

643
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 1: so much more loose than NFL games do. I don't

644
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: ever hate on the pro game, but the college game

645
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: is my game. Saturdays are for us around here. And

646
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: I got to show you some footage. And you know

647
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: ole miss one yesterday, you know they storm the field.

648
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 1: Director Colin has procured some footage from Vaught Hemingway Stadium

649
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,440
Speaker 1: yesterday of exactly what it looks like when an old

650
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: miss rebel just gets a little bit too caught up

651
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,760
Speaker 1: in the moment. And if you're watching on podcasts, picture

652
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: a young man of varying degrees of inebriation doing certain

653
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: unspeakable things to a goal post. And now he's standing

654
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: on the goal post, and now he is making out

655
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 1: tongue and all with the goal post. He has now

656
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,799
Speaker 1: climbed a solid ten feet up the upright and is

657
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,879
Speaker 1: still passionately making out with that upright, But that's not

658
00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: what caps it off. What caps it off is he

659
00:34:43,239 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: slides down very orderly, and then, in true Jeff Hardy

660
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:53,800
Speaker 1: WWF attitude era fashion, swanton bomb onto nothing, just front

661
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,320
Speaker 1: flips onto the ground below, and there are two officers

662
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 1: waiting to take him away. This is sad Saturday. That

663
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,240
Speaker 1: is what Saturdays are about. That doesn't happen on Sunday.

664
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 1: Sunday so orderly. The NFL is like sitting back filing

665
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 1: its fingernails. Saturday is some kid doing a front flip

666
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: onto grass. His COCKSIX is probably screaming at him today,

667
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: but nothing could stop him last night. Now, I don't

668
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: know who that kid is, and I'm not going to

669
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: go as far as to say his PAYT state material

670
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: because I don't really know what he was on. But

671
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: I like to think those officers took him by the arm,

672
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: escorted him up the nearest tunnel, and then said go on,

673
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: get out of here, enjoy your night. That's what I

674
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: like to think. And if anyone knows otherwise, don't bother

675
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: telling me. It's a shame. It's a shame to watch

676
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: what Jaden Daniels is this year. Now, I don't misunderstand me.

677
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: It's awesome to watch him play. LSU's got the best

678
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 1: quarterback in the SEC right now. Jaden Daniels was really

679
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: good last year and he is that kind of story

680
00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: of someone that was really good, didn't settle and became great.

681
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,320
Speaker 1: He is a great quarterback this year. He was twenty

682
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 1: seven of thirty four yesterday, five hundred and thirteen total yards,

683
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: four touchdowns. That should be good enough ten times out

684
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: of ten for LSU football, and it wasn't good enough

685
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,040
Speaker 1: yesterday because they're not good defensively. They're bad. They're bad defensively,

686
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: and I wish I could say it's shocking, but it's

687
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: not really shocking. And I know it's not because we

688
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: brought Brian Kelly on this show a few months ago

689
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: and he warned you, but even you, you're around these

690
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: guys every day, how can you really know when you

691
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: take that many guys out of a portal in that

692
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: same position room, how can you ever really know what's coming?

693
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: You don't.

694
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 2: And that's why there's still a red flag that flies

695
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 2: over our program in a sense of if you really

696
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,920
Speaker 2: evaluate where we are, you would say that's too many

697
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 2: guys to take out of the portal, and it was

698
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: on defense. It wasn't on offense because we're ahead of

699
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 2: where we are, but we're still a year away from

700
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:02,759
Speaker 2: a recruiting stand point where it's player development with freshmen

701
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 2: and developing your players from within and not having to

702
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 2: take twelve guys out of the portal on defense. So

703
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 2: if you're really looking at it carefully, it's it's a

704
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 2: red flag because you don't know until you get out there,

705
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 2: whether's Aya Alexander who we took from Southeast Louisiana. It

706
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 2: is going to be the field corner that we expect

707
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,880
Speaker 2: them to be. Those are a number of the questions

708
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: that we have going into the season.

709
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: Colin, it sounds to me like there's music coming off

710
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: of this piece of paper, and that can only mean

711
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: one thing. This was our Sarah McLaughlan special. The LSU

712
00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: defense was our Sarah McLachlan special. This brings me no

713
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 1: joy to my friends in the boot. LSU's defense yesterday

714
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:52,800
Speaker 1: nine passes allowed of fifteen plus yards, twelve runs allowed

715
00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: of fifteen plus yards, seven hundred and six total yards

716
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: given up. Ole Miss didn't even have half of that

717
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,800
Speaker 1: the week before against Alabama. They gave up eight yards

718
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: per play, no sacks, all that talent in the front,

719
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: seven no sacks. They allowed three hundred and seventeen on

720
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: the ground, almost had fifty six on the ground against Obama.

721
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:15,360
Speaker 1: Pro Football Focus tells us they missed thirty tackles in

722
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 1: yesterday's game. Three zero thirty in one game. That's a

723
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: bad month. They missed thirty last night. I don't know

724
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: what Brian Kelly is going to do about his defensive staff,

725
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:32,240
Speaker 1: but it's not good enough. And I think that's painfully

726
00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 1: and I do mean painfully with a capital be painfully

727
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: obvious enough after last night and probably even before that.

728
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 1: But it is what it is right now. I think

729
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 1: changes are going to come there, that's a virtual certainty,

730
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: but they're not gonna come in October or November. It's

731
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,839
Speaker 1: gonna be after the season, and until then, it kind

732
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: of just is what it is. And this is a

733
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: place that likes to fancy itself DBU with good reason.

734
00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: This year is not one of those reasons. And the

735
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 1: fact that the LSU secondary and defense was the Sarah

736
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:09,759
Speaker 1: McLaughlin Special is hashtag sad. That's what it is. Old

737
00:39:09,800 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 1: missus drive chart, touchdown punt touchdown, touchdown, touchdown, field goal, punt,

738
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 1: field goal, touchdown downs, touchdown, touchdown, end of game fifty five.

739
00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Lane Kiff and an old miss. Listen, that's

740
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: only LSU's first conference loss, So both of them have

741
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 1: a conference loss. Now Damma is about to play A

742
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:30,680
Speaker 1: and M this Saturday, one of them will have a

743
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 1: conference loss the SEC West. Good luck figuring that one out.

744
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: Next up, let's head over to beautiful Knoxville, Tennessee. Just

745
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: giving you time there, calling Tennessee forty one, South Carolina twenty.

746
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: You know, the model was all over Tennessee last week.

747
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: Loved him. We ended up making it a Rama Noodle

748
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: Express best bet, and we ended up getting a big

749
00:39:55,560 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee win. Tennessee's pass rush was one thing that we

750
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 1: were focused on in this one, and the second thing

751
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:08,320
Speaker 1: was how disproportionately reliant South Carolina has been on one player.

752
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: Now it's a good players, the quarterback Spencer Rattler, but

753
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: they've been really relying on him. We looked at those two,

754
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: didn't like the matchup at all for South Carolina. But

755
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 1: there was one thing that really started to pop in

756
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 1: this game that I didn't necessarily see coming and that

757
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: was Tennessee's run game. Tennessee had ten runs of ten

758
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: plus yards in this game, forty carries, two hundred and

759
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: thirty eight yards, three touchdowns, age went off on the ground,

760
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: and so what we saw was Joe Milton probably with

761
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 1: the ability to break out in the past game that

762
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,600
Speaker 1: really didn't happen. They had two hundred and thirty nine

763
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,279
Speaker 1: passing yards, but they had two hundred and thirty eight

764
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,520
Speaker 1: rushing yards. So they just figured we'll just run all

765
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: over South Carolina and they didn't rewrite the record books,

766
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: but they did more than enough to pull away and

767
00:40:57,280 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: win because they they ended up having six and that

768
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 1: was the other thing their pass rush did get after it.

769
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: You know, Tennessee's defensive front is not gonna get focused

770
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: on because people think of them as an offensive first team.

771
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: Tennessee's got a really good defensive front right now. Offensive

772
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: line probably played the best game to date they've played

773
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:17,879
Speaker 1: all year last night, so did their defensive front. It's

774
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 1: gonna be overshadowed because they lost Broo McCoy, and Broom

775
00:41:20,960 --> 00:41:24,760
Speaker 1: McCoy was their best pass catcher, a best perimeter blocker,

776
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: and had a devastating injury. We wish him all the best.

777
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: It sucks. I know it takes the life out of

778
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: a stadium when you got an injury like that. That

779
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 1: overshadows otherwise. What was a great night in Knoxville. I

780
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 1: know a bunch of people had that game. Circle incredible environment.

781
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:42,600
Speaker 1: Director Colin was there, Kole Kublick was there. So it

782
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: was the place to be obviously up there on the river.

783
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,360
Speaker 1: But man, I'll talk more about that in a second.

784
00:41:48,560 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 1: I do want to hit on South Carolina right quick,

785
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,200
Speaker 1: because we got a padlock stat here. There you go,

786
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: padlock stat. Last year in this game, South Carolina destroyed Tennessee.

787
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 1: Spencer Ratler was the reason. Four hundred and thirty eight

788
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:05,399
Speaker 1: through the air six touchdowns. That was the stat line

789
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 1: last year. It seems to me a time or two

790
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: this week Tennessee's defensive staff emphasized that we're not gonna

791
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: let him beat us with his arm. Let's go to

792
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,440
Speaker 1: the tape last night. Spencer Ratler one hundred and sixty

793
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: nine through the air through a pick six, and that

794
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 1: is your padlock staff, I don't need to know anything else.

795
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 1: If you tell me Rattler is going under one seventy

796
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: through the air, Tennessee's gonna win the game. Don't really

797
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 1: need to know anything else. They were South Carolina being

798
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: they two of fourteen on third down, they were two

799
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,239
Speaker 1: of five on fourth down. I did get asked a

800
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: lot what I thought about Spencer Ratler after this game, saying, well,

801
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: good for Tennessee. This was their super Bowl. This is

802
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:51,960
Speaker 1: not one of the two biggest games Tennessee will play

803
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 1: this year. They were hyped up for it. You're not

804
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 1: the super Bowl. I'm sorry, sir, You're not the super Bowl.

805
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 1: You just happened to be a greasy spot they left

806
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: in Neeland Stadium last night. But you're not the super Bowl.

807
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: Bru McCoy is out for the season. I despise that.

808
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: I just said that, So that will lead a lot

809
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: of people to look at Tennessee and say that's a big,

810
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,280
Speaker 1: big detrimental blow, which it is. It's not a fatal

811
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 1: blow at all. Their defensive line played out standing last night,

812
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: half a dozen sacks. Their offensive line they found the

813
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: right combination. Stick with it. They probably played their best

814
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,600
Speaker 1: game to date last night. Their ground game, as I said,

815
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,919
Speaker 1: ten runs of ten plus yards. They got some things

816
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: going for them. They're a flawed team. They've got that

817
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:42,120
Speaker 1: in common with everyone else. Nobody. Nobody knows how the

818
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: SEC is going to shake out. They got a stretch

819
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: coming up where they play A and M, and they

820
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: play at Bama and they play at Kentucky. And that's

821
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,840
Speaker 1: just brutality three weeks in a row. And there aren't

822
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: many teams out there that can stand up to that.

823
00:43:56,600 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 1: And I am wholeheartedly including Kentucky in that. So those

824
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 1: are like crowbars to your shins three weeks in a row.

825
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,360
Speaker 1: Hopefully you come out still recognizable on the other side,

826
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: but who knows. I mean, maybe Tennessee can get after

827
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: you physically as well, because they did with South Carolina

828
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: last night. Let's keep rolling on because we've got I

829
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: got many, many, many more games to talk about, and

830
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,280
Speaker 1: I look, I want to talk about and I rarely

831
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:26,040
Speaker 1: say this, I want to talk about the playoff. I

832
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: feel like such a sellout. I feel like more of

833
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 1: a sellout telling you I'm going to talk about the

834
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: playoff tonight than I did when I had to wear

835
00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: the black shirt on air a couple of weeks ago,

836
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:38,800
Speaker 1: or last week last Sunday night, actually, but it's gonna happen,

837
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 1: so stick around. And appreciate you guys. If you're watching live,

838
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 1: thumbs up, click that light button if you're watching live.

839
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: Kentucky made an example of Florida yesterday thirty three to fourteen.

840
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 1: I want you to imagine something. You're in a car,

841
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: you're in a truck. Choose your mode of transportation, drive

842
00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 1: a city bus for all I care. And you turn

843
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 1: down a road and there's a dead end sign. What

844
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:09,799
Speaker 1: would you do? Would you a stop B stop and

845
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:13,399
Speaker 1: put it in reverse, or see hit the gas and

846
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: just double barrel middle finger to the world. Let's just

847
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: see what happens. I chose options. See this time last year,

848
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 1: I picked against Kentucky, and Mark Stoops taught me why

849
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,640
Speaker 1: you don't pick against Kentucky when they play Florida. So

850
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 1: all I did was try the exact same thing again

851
00:45:31,719 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 1: a year later. This is me. A year ago Kentucky

852
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: made a fool out of me, and I went on

853
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,360
Speaker 1: air and I held up a sign if you're listening

854
00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 1: on podcasts that says the following, dear Mark Stoops, I

855
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:52,960
Speaker 1: am sorry XO XO JP. Now I join you in

856
00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:57,279
Speaker 1: present day to tell you, dear Mark Stoops, I'm once

857
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: again sorry. Xoxo still JP. I hope we can remain friends.

858
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:08,400
Speaker 1: Why do I do this to myself? Why do I

859
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 1: believe in Florida on the road? I thought that beat

860
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: Utah dumb? I thought that beat Kentucky dumb. And it's

861
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: dumb because they're not a good team on the road.

862
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 1: They haven't been for a while. But let's talk about

863
00:46:21,560 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: the winner. Let's talk about a winning team here. Can guys,

864
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:28,040
Speaker 1: can you show me? I say, guys, Jesse and Colin,

865
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 1: can you show me the quarterback comparison graphic? Because this

866
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: is mind blowing. This is what we would call a

867
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,279
Speaker 1: fake padlock stack or a fake padlock graphic, because I

868
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: got the real padlock stack coming in a second. I

869
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: want you to imagine here. It is knock on the

870
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,440
Speaker 1: door Friday. Someone walks in and says, hello, I'm from

871
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:52,600
Speaker 1: the future. Perhaps it's the alien. The alien says, and

872
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: what the alien just said translated is Graham Mertenz is

873
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:59,879
Speaker 1: going to go twenty five of thirty two forty four

874
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:05,240
Speaker 1: through the air, two touchdowns, one interception. Okay, alien, sounds

875
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:07,680
Speaker 1: like a pretty good day for Graham Mertz. What did

876
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: Devin Leary do? It's his coming out party? Right, he

877
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: goes nine of nineteen sixty nine yards through the air. Wow,

878
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,920
Speaker 1: Florida went up there and got it done, didn't they? No, No, no,

879
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: they didn't. That's a fake padlock stat. That would mislead you,

880
00:47:24,040 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: that takes you down all the wrong roads and you

881
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 1: end up betting irresponsible amounts of money on Florida. That

882
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 1: was not a padlock stat. Here's the real padlock stat.

883
00:47:31,440 --> 00:47:34,760
Speaker 1: Ray Davis is the real padlock stat. Twenty six carries,

884
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty yards, three touchdowns. Kentucky as a

885
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 1: team ran the ball all the way down Florida's throat

886
00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:45,960
Speaker 1: and found out what they had for lunch earlier. Three

887
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty nine rushing yards Kentucky. I am not

888
00:47:49,760 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 1: kidding when I tell you this had nine point one

889
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: yards per carrey against a real life SEC opponent nine

890
00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: point one yards per carrey. Florida got owned. Florida got

891
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 1: physically owned. They just got put on skates to the

892
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: point where it didn't even matter. If Kentucky's quarterback couldn't

893
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: throw his way out of a wet paper bag, he

894
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 1: didn't need to. That's the embarrassment. That's the embarrassment for Florida.

895
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:17,399
Speaker 1: It's the statement for Kentucky. What hurts the most for.

896
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:23,600
Speaker 3: Me is we knew, we knew about Kentucky. We knew

897
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:27,640
Speaker 3: Colin show me, show me the tweet. Not from someone else,

898
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 3: from me. This is a tweet from me when we

899
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 3: were in August.

900
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: And trust me, I got a fair amount of criticism

901
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: for this August seventeenth year of Our Lord twenty twenty three.

902
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 1: Yours truly puts out the following. Some of the best

903
00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: intel I'm hearing from any camp is coming out of Kentucky.

904
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:51,000
Speaker 1: They'll be a problem. And then I forgot my own words.

905
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:53,439
Speaker 1: I forgot my own words. Oh and by the way,

906
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:57,680
Speaker 1: not just that, not just did we tell you Kentucky's

907
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:00,520
Speaker 1: going to be a problem. We zoom to right in

908
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:03,280
Speaker 1: to the specific player who was going to be the problem,

909
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 1: roll at Colin good offense. There Ray Davis five ten, two, sixteen,

910
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 1: ranked one hundred and twenty fifth overall, number eleven running

911
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:14,239
Speaker 1: back in the portal class. I think he'll perform a

912
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 1: little bit more admirably than those numbers would suggest. What

913
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 1: have I become. It's like multiple personality. I got one

914
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: over here that's nailing everything. And then I got me

915
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:28,439
Speaker 1: who says, don't listen to him. He has no clue

916
00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:31,240
Speaker 1: what he's talking about. Kentucky's gonna be a good portal

917
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: team for a while. They got Leary, they got Ray Davis. Kentucky.

918
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: As we said in August on a different show, I

919
00:49:38,560 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 1: think Kentucky is the kind of place that does not

920
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 1: wow five star kids out of high school. They will

921
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:49,200
Speaker 1: not land most of them. But it's a rock solid program.

922
00:49:49,560 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: Everything's buttoned up. It's not flash. Kentucky is all substance,

923
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 1: virtually no flash, and that doesn't attract premier recruits out

924
00:49:58,440 --> 00:49:59,919
Speaker 1: of high school. But I'll tell you what it does.

925
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 1: Wants good football players get a couple of three years

926
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,399
Speaker 1: into their careers and decide they want to go play

927
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:12,440
Speaker 1: somewhere else. Kentucky is the quintessential destination because two or

928
00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 1: three year veteran college football players don't care about lamborghinis

929
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:18,800
Speaker 1: and photo shoots anymore. They want to know about nutrition,

930
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: proper development, placement scheme. They want to know how they're

931
00:50:23,680 --> 00:50:25,800
Speaker 1: going to be used, how they're going to be developed.

932
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:28,360
Speaker 1: And that's where Kentucky and Mark Stoops can walk in

933
00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: and say, oh, oh, you care about the real stuff.

934
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 1: You want meat and potatoes instead of ice cream and sprinkles.

935
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: Here you go. So, Ray Davis, what I'm trying to

936
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: tell you is not an anomaly. Those kind of guys

937
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 1: showing up in Lexington seemingly out of nowhere not an anomaly. Also,

938
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: they are very good, not just at development, but at

939
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,200
Speaker 1: evaluation too. I told you in that piece in that

940
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,280
Speaker 1: clip right there, Ray Davis wasn't our number one rated

941
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,920
Speaker 1: player out of the portal. Far from it. He wasn't

942
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,960
Speaker 1: even top ten at his position. How do you look yesterday?

943
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 1: Ask Florida if they could re rack the transfer port

944
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,800
Speaker 1: of rankings. Ask Florida where they rank Ray Davis. Florida

945
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:10,120
Speaker 1: is now one in five on the road under Billy Napier.

946
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: They had ten penalties again yesterday. I say again, because

947
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: they had nine of them against Utah. Special teams are

948
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:23,080
Speaker 1: bad for Florida right now. And uh, there's so so

949
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 1: you know what that means. That means a lot of

950
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,759
Speaker 1: people are going to call for Billy Napier's job and

951
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,680
Speaker 1: then watch this show to see if I'm going to

952
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 1: call for his job. Well, no, I'm not going to

953
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:34,799
Speaker 1: call for his job because I rarely ever do that

954
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,560
Speaker 1: to begin with, and it's not time to call for

955
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,600
Speaker 1: his job. It's a pretty long ways away from that time. Now,

956
00:51:41,680 --> 00:51:44,600
Speaker 1: what I didn't just say is I didn't just say

957
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:47,120
Speaker 1: I love everything I'm seeing about the Florida program. But

958
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: there's this third option. Option one, love Napier, carry water

959
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: for him. Option two fire Napier. End of sentence. Option three.

960
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: Don't support the firing of Billy Napier, but maybe support

961
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:09,160
Speaker 1: changes in special teams mechanisms, maybe get an actual play

962
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: calling offensive coordinator down there. Those sorts of things I

963
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: think will be on the table, And I think a

964
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: healthy inventory of the program is something every coach does

965
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:19,080
Speaker 1: at the end of a year. I think Billy Napier

966
00:52:19,080 --> 00:52:21,239
Speaker 1: will do it. I don't think it's the craziest thing

967
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 1: to suggest he's still learning how ultimately to run Florida. Now.

968
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 1: No one wants to think about that because everyone wants

969
00:52:29,400 --> 00:52:31,640
Speaker 1: every coach to be a finished version of themselves, and

970
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: that's not reality, and it's not reality at Florida either.

971
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 1: I think you'll be okay. Billy Napier is plenty good

972
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:42,280
Speaker 1: enough coach. If there are changes that need to be made,

973
00:52:42,320 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 1: which I'm sure there are, they look like they need

974
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: to be made to me. I trust him to make them.

975
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 1: I just go back to me Mau's old adage, and

976
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,040
Speaker 1: it always pops up this time of year because the

977
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: same person praising the dude two weeks ago for beating

978
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: Tennessee now wants him fired and will praise him again

979
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: if they upset Georgia in a month. Me Ma said,

980
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:05,960
Speaker 1: do not react to this stuff at the speed of water.

981
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 1: React at the speed of honey. And if you put

982
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: a drop of each on a plate and turn the

983
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 1: plate sideways, look how fast they move. Water just falls

984
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: off the plate. It's like a ping pong ball, back

985
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: and forth, back and forth, honey, while it still moves

986
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: moves very slowly, very very methodically. And that's how my

987
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 1: opinion moves with the job security of a coach. So no, no,

988
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: if you've tuned in to night to hear me call

989
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 1: for Billy Napier's job, I'm not doing that, and I'm

990
00:53:34,560 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: not doing it just because I want to hide feelings.

991
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,399
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it because I don't feel that way.

992
00:53:39,280 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: And it would be quite a while before I did

993
00:53:42,600 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 1: more takeaways here, not from this game, but more takeaways

994
00:53:45,600 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 1: across the country. Pardon me, second sip from the chalice

995
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: necessary good crowd Live tonight. Appreciate you guys joining live.

996
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: But you know what, I also appreciate if you're listening

997
00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 1: to the replay driving through Laramie while I'm tomorrow morning.

998
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 1: Thank you for that as well. Notre Dame beat Duke

999
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 1: last night, and what a game this was. Twenty one

1000
00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: to fourteen is the final. When I'm sitting there watching

1001
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 1: that game and I see thirteen. Oh, and I see

1002
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,879
Speaker 1: Notre Dame get off to a pretty good start. They're

1003
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 1: pitching a shutout. I think that's it, and then voila.

1004
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 1: I Josh goes crazy. I look, hey, turn on the

1005
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: Duke game because I'm heading home last night. I'm driving

1006
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: home from Auburn and all of a sudden, it's fourteen

1007
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: to thirteen. We got a fight on our hands here.

1008
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: What a game this ended up being? Riley Leonard, Duke

1009
00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 1: quarterback goes down at the very end. That looks like

1010
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: a high ankle spring. I think Pete Thamil confirmed that.

1011
00:54:41,719 --> 00:54:44,279
Speaker 1: I think he did. So it's probably not a season ender,

1012
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,840
Speaker 1: but he's probably going to miss multiple weeks. And that

1013
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:52,359
Speaker 1: concludes my medical expertise there. I got some ideas on

1014
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: what they're about to do to him. But I don't know,

1015
00:54:54,880 --> 00:54:57,279
Speaker 1: So let's talk about the here and out. Notre Dame

1016
00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:00,320
Speaker 1: won this game last night. It never was go be

1017
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: easy it It was probably looked at by people who

1018
00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 1: don't know anything about Duke as well. This is a

1019
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:10,319
Speaker 1: trap game. It's not a trap game. Everyone's attention was

1020
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: on the game. It's just hard. They're a hard team

1021
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 1: to beat Duke. I listen to this under Mike Elko.

1022
00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,440
Speaker 1: This is his second year there at Duke. They still

1023
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 1: haven't lost a game by double digits. They've played an

1024
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: entire conference slate they come into this year, They've already

1025
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:29,799
Speaker 1: played Clemson and Notre Dame. This year they beat one

1026
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: of them, they nearly beat the other way. They hadn't

1027
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,520
Speaker 1: lost a single game by double digits. I don't even

1028
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,399
Speaker 1: have a job opening at Peyton State, and I want

1029
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 1: Mike Elcho to come over here, and I imagine some

1030
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 1: places with job openings will be calling him up pretty quickly. Ironically,

1031
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:47,360
Speaker 1: Notre Name gets this win, you better be pulling for

1032
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,320
Speaker 1: Duke pretty hard. Now. You need that strength of schedule,

1033
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 1: you need that resume boost. Probably one of the parts

1034
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: of our sport I detest the most, but it is

1035
00:55:55,280 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: what it is. Michigan. Yes, friends, I thought Nebraska would

1036
00:56:01,120 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: cover yesterday. Yes, friends, it was a best bet. No, friends,

1037
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 1: it did not go our way. Michigan has allowed the

1038
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:15,000
Speaker 1: following point totals and this is freshly updated three points,

1039
00:56:15,560 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 1: seven points, six points, seven points, seven points. Their scores

1040
00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: are just rents repeat, except they chose to score in

1041
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: the forties yesterday. So they ramped it up a little

1042
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 1: bit once they got into conference play. No penalties, no turnovers.

1043
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: Their first road game supposed to be a little bit bumpy,

1044
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:40,520
Speaker 1: they just yawned, basically took care of business. They were

1045
00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: ten of sixteen on third down and fourth down Nebraska

1046
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 1: in forty six total plays. This was machine like. This

1047
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:53,399
Speaker 1: was destruction by Michigan. And it's a shame cause those

1048
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:56,040
Speaker 1: Nebraska kids, parents were there, they had to watch that.

1049
00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,440
Speaker 1: And I wonder about Michigan. I really did, because I

1050
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: know these folks keep saying, well, yeah, but yeah, but

1051
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: what well yeah, but they haven't played anyone. That's the point.

1052
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: They're not beating No. One thirty to twenty. They're crushing teams.

1053
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: He also use a stronger term there. I'm not RG three.

1054
00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna stick to just crushing teams. They're doing exactly

1055
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 1: what an elite team would do, in other words, against

1056
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 1: inferior competition. And it's Michigan. You know their schedule, So

1057
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,880
Speaker 1: the inferior competition is gonna keep getting served up and

1058
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: keep getting served up. Nothing more to really say about that,

1059
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,919
Speaker 1: but this was a pretty thorough beat down. Bama went

1060
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: on the road and took care of business last night,

1061
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:44,120
Speaker 1: forty to seventeen against Mississippi State. And you know what

1062
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 1: I loved. I loved as I watched this on the

1063
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: way home responsibly. I love that Nick Sabin finally decided

1064
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: to do what a lot of people have been waiting

1065
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,440
Speaker 1: on him to do, and that is portal back about

1066
00:57:56,520 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: five years and sort of channel the old school Nick Saban.

1067
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: See the new school Nick Saban is a little more mellow.

1068
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 1: Folks behind the scenes will tell you that hasn't changed.

1069
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:11,200
Speaker 1: But the front facing version of Nick Saban, the afflat

1070
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,640
Speaker 1: commercial version of Nick Saban, the once a week on

1071
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:19,840
Speaker 1: Pat McAfee version of Nick Saban, little kinder, little sweeter,

1072
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:24,440
Speaker 1: little more docile, little toned down. Let's communicate with the

1073
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: players a little bit differently, and last night he said

1074
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: none of that. They started off a little slow and

1075
00:58:31,880 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 1: Nick Saban went full stone cold mode and the team

1076
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 1: responded and it was nice. It was nice to see

1077
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: the f bombs fly again. Yes, it's a family friendly show,

1078
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: but sidelines are not family friendly. There are no children

1079
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 1: on those sidelines. I have stood next to Nick Saban

1080
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: and listen to how he used to talk to Lane Kiffin.

1081
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: That was not family friendly. Saban. Saban pulled the trigger

1082
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 1: a little bit last night, and maybe that's maybe that's

1083
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: him engaging. That's what that team needs. Whatever he said,

1084
00:59:00,920 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: it worked and they came alive. It was not as

1085
00:59:04,520 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: thorough a beat down as Michigan put on Nebraska, certainly,

1086
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: but the offensive line continues to improve. I have you know,

1087
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: I have a very checkered past with the Alabama offensive line.

1088
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: Already through six weeks this year, defense will allow them

1089
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 1: to compete in and be favored in most every game

1090
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 1: they play. The defense is playing really well. Gave up

1091
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more on the ground than I expected

1092
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 1: last night. Interesting, but played very well. Now I am

1093
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,640
Speaker 1: going to suggest something to you. This team still has

1094
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 1: a number of tests remaining Bama's toughest remaining game is

1095
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 1: this Saturday. They are going to Texas A and M.

1096
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:49,240
Speaker 1: It will be a war. This will be the toughest

1097
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 1: game they play the rest of the year, not the

1098
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 1: last losable game they play. But I'm talking about matchups.

1099
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: A and M is vulnerable through the air a little bit.

1100
00:59:58,560 --> 01:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Bama can't throw the ball. So this is fist on fist.

1101
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:07,840
Speaker 1: It is cannonball meeting cannonball. And you're playing in their building,

1102
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: and you know good and well what happened last time

1103
01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 1: you went down there. Everyone knows that this is the

1104
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 1: circle game for pretty much everyone who plays Alabama. You

1105
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,440
Speaker 1: have no margin for era. You've already lost a game,

1106
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 1: seasons on the line, for all intents and purposes, Bama

1107
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 1: at Texas A and M this Saturday. And I can't

1108
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 1: wait to watch that. Cannot wait to watch that. I

1109
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:30,080
Speaker 1: just hyped the game up like I'm about to do

1110
01:00:30,160 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: the preview. No, that's on the Tuesday show. I'm just

1111
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,520
Speaker 1: getting you ready, and I'm telling you that that game

1112
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: right there will be I don't know if it'll be

1113
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: game of the year, maybe someone will win by thirty,

1114
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 1: but it will be the biggest test remaining for Alabama.

1115
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:45,200
Speaker 1: I think because of the styles of the two teams.

1116
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: Texas just put Kansas away. I don't know, honestly how

1117
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: much we take from this because Jaalen Daniels did not play,

1118
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: and he was the sole reason that we even had

1119
01:00:55,520 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 1: attention paid on this game. Texas out gained Kansas one

1120
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 1: to two sixty. How nice is it, by the way,

1121
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: to have jon Robinson walk out the door. Roseean Johnson

1122
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 1: walks out the door at running back and you just

1123
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:13,920
Speaker 1: got Jonathan Brooks there. Twenty carries, two seventeen, two touchdowns.

1124
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: Kansas was oh of eight on third down. They were

1125
01:01:16,760 --> 01:01:19,880
Speaker 1: oh of two on fourth down. Those are padlock stats.

1126
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 1: That's pretty tough. If you told me Texas looks like

1127
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 1: the best team in the country, I wouldn't argue with you.

1128
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: I've seen him in person once. I'll see him again

1129
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: this Saturday. I just don't know after last night, did

1130
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: I add anything on to the cake, Like, there's not

1131
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 1: another layer that we added for Texas, because what was

1132
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,000
Speaker 1: Kansas gonna do the moment you know that their quarterback's out,

1133
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: that's out. You don't even put that game on a monitor.

1134
01:01:41,800 --> 01:01:42,960
Speaker 1: You just look at the box score. At the end

1135
01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: of the day. Oklahoma dissected Iowa State, and I, I

1136
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:52,080
Speaker 1: don't know what to tell you from a heartbroken cyclone here,

1137
01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what to tell you. I'll tell you

1138
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: exactly what I'll tell you. How about that? I look

1139
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: at this score. I State's got twenty on the board,

1140
01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:05,080
Speaker 1: there are eight minutes remaining until halftime, and I think

1141
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 1: to myself, number one, wow, points, number two. They're in

1142
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:12,960
Speaker 1: it to win it today. I forget about the twenty one,

1143
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: forget about plus twenty one. Iowa State could threaten to

1144
01:02:16,200 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 1: win this game twenty. Remember that number twenty on the

1145
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: board with eight minutes and change to go in the

1146
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: first half. I mentioned that number because that was the

1147
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: final score. They did not score another point. Oklahoma beat

1148
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: them fifty to twenty. To imagine my shock when I

1149
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 1: checked back, it was actually a typo situation. I actually

1150
01:02:38,680 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 1: went to another website, I think. I pulled up CBS,

1151
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: and I always trust our guys to have the right

1152
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 1: scorers there. But when it said fifty to twenty, I said,

1153
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: surely not. And I pulled up ESPN and there it

1154
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,440
Speaker 1: is fifty to twenty. And I have since confirmed it's

1155
01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: not a type of Oklahoma really did just shut them down.

1156
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 1: Iowa State to the point where it was twenty one

1157
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,960
Speaker 1: to twenty in this game, the state was averaging eight

1158
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:03,440
Speaker 1: point four yards per play. We were looking good man,

1159
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: and then they had ninety three total yards the rest

1160
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 1: of the way, lights went out. Oklahoma defense showed up

1161
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:14,959
Speaker 1: two point eight yards per play. They were shut out

1162
01:03:15,160 --> 01:03:19,120
Speaker 1: the final thirty nine minutes of this game. So there's

1163
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 1: that shaky defense early for Oklahoma rounded into form. Tom

1164
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:29,400
Speaker 1: Green from as Soon as Illustrated had a lot of

1165
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:31,320
Speaker 1: good numbers. I was reading a lot of his work.

1166
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 1: I just quoted some of them. But this Saturday Red

1167
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: River Shootout will be there. Hadn't seen Oklahoma in person

1168
01:03:38,680 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 1: yet this year, I have speculated. I think I'm right

1169
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: on this. A lot of America hasn't seen Oklahoma yet

1170
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:49,240
Speaker 1: this year. You will Saturday, dot dot dot you will Saturday. Also.

1171
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: I don't have much to say about this game except

1172
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:55,360
Speaker 1: one thing. Penn State the fighting Jesse's of Penn State

1173
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:58,720
Speaker 1: one forty one to thirteen over Northwestern, which is noteworthy

1174
01:03:58,760 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: for two reasons. Number one, it was a real close

1175
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 1: game in the first half. That's why God makes you

1176
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 1: play four quarters. The other thing is Penn State was

1177
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:09,680
Speaker 1: favored by twenty seven and a half. In this game,

1178
01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: you'll notice they won by twenty eight. It wasn't a

1179
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:16,120
Speaker 1: run out the clock situation though, kids. They were up

1180
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:21,200
Speaker 1: twenty one with two twenty remaining and they uncork a

1181
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 1: thirty yard strike to the end zone. We call that

1182
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,080
Speaker 1: a back door cover. And as I have tried to

1183
01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: tell you many times, I put the tweet out about

1184
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: a month ago, and I should have retweeted it yesterday.

1185
01:04:34,080 --> 01:04:37,600
Speaker 1: The two guys most aware of the spread on Penn

1186
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: State games are on your screen right now. I'm one

1187
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,880
Speaker 1: of them, and James Franklin's the other one. That dude

1188
01:04:44,920 --> 01:04:48,640
Speaker 1: is an assassin with the back door cover. He knows

1189
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: exactly what he's doing. And you can call it whatever

1190
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,880
Speaker 1: you want to, but if you lay points with Penn State,

1191
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,520
Speaker 1: you are never out of the game. I don't know

1192
01:04:57,560 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: how many times have I I have had the other

1193
01:05:00,880 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 1: side in the past and think to myself, oh, they'll

1194
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: take knees here, although run out the clock here. Now,

1195
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 1: this was former me before I learned and knew better.

1196
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,200
Speaker 1: I know it ain't ever over with Penn State because

1197
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: James Franklin knows what he's doing You'll never convince me otherwise,

1198
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:18,960
Speaker 1: and I salute it. I think it's admirable. Good teams win,

1199
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:21,560
Speaker 1: great teams cover. We know that, we know that on

1200
01:05:21,560 --> 01:05:27,280
Speaker 1: this show, they're watching us in Mason, Texas, Asheville, North Carolina, Tyrone, Pennsylvania.

1201
01:05:27,320 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: Thank you guys so much. Let me ask you a

1202
01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 1: very important question tonight. We're here, it's October, so let

1203
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 1: me ask you a question. How many playoff contenders do

1204
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 1: you think exist in this sport? If you had to

1205
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 1: put your life on the line most dangerous game style,

1206
01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 1: If your life is on the line and you're trying

1207
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,560
Speaker 1: to whittle down the amount of teams that are capable

1208
01:05:50,600 --> 01:05:53,560
Speaker 1: of making the playoff, not winning a title, making the playoff,

1209
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:58,600
Speaker 1: how big is your list? I think mine may be

1210
01:05:58,840 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: like a dozen to fifteen teams deep right now. Remember

1211
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 1: our life is on the line making this list, so

1212
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 1: if anything, we have to be lenient with the teams

1213
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,280
Speaker 1: that we have on there. I think we're looking at around,

1214
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:13,160
Speaker 1: we're looking around the country right now. I think, first off,

1215
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 1: you're kind of waiting on Michigan when you're talking about

1216
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 1: the national Championship picture. Everyone's talking right now about how

1217
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 1: it's wide open a lot of parody, which is true

1218
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 1: and true. But you got Michigan out there that's ranked

1219
01:06:27,680 --> 01:06:31,680
Speaker 1: way high in every poll and they're still rolling over teams.

1220
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: So the theory is, as long as you have at

1221
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 1: least one elite team in the room, it doesn't matter

1222
01:06:38,040 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: how much competitive balance you have beneath them, Like it

1223
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 1: didn't matter that TCU won a bunch of close games

1224
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 1: last year when they went up against Georgia. That was

1225
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: firing a bb gun at a freight train ten times

1226
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: out of ten, one hundred times out of one hundred

1227
01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 1: is going to result the same way. Well with Michigan,

1228
01:06:52,640 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 1: if they really are the team they look to have

1229
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,080
Speaker 1: been so far this year, it won't matter what anyone

1230
01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:01,440
Speaker 1: else does. However, there is a world where Michigan is

1231
01:07:01,480 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 1: not quite as dominant as they look. They just haven't

1232
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:08,959
Speaker 1: been tested. That's a possibility. So if we find that out,

1233
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 1: then it's really game on. Because Bama's already lost, Clemson's

1234
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,200
Speaker 1: lost a couple of times, LSU's lost a couple of times,

1235
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:18,400
Speaker 1: Notre Dame's lost and barely got by Duke last night,

1236
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: that they've shown vulnerability. FSU barely beat Boston College, Ohio

1237
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,120
Speaker 1: State's bled a couple of times this year already, albeit

1238
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,560
Speaker 1: in wins, so they're still undefeate. H USC doesn't have

1239
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: championship caliber defense right now. Texas Texas was right there

1240
01:07:32,840 --> 01:07:34,720
Speaker 1: with Wyoming in the fourth quarter of a game, and

1241
01:07:34,760 --> 01:07:36,960
Speaker 1: no one remembers that anymore. And I'm high on Texas.

1242
01:07:37,480 --> 01:07:41,400
Speaker 1: Washington beat Arizona's backup quarterback by seven last night. So

1243
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 1: what I'm trying to tell you is everyone's got worts

1244
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,960
Speaker 1: right now. Oregon hasn't shown any but most of you

1245
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 1: don't think Oregon can win a title. I do, you don't,

1246
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: So that's okay. We'll just shove them off to the

1247
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: side for a second. And Michigan hasn't shown an ounce

1248
01:07:57,080 --> 01:07:59,480
Speaker 1: of vulnerability yet, and a lot of you do think

1249
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 1: they can win title, which I do as well. I

1250
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: think it would be smart at this point to just

1251
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:09,800
Speaker 1: throw out the normal logic, because the normal logic is,

1252
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:13,400
Speaker 1: you've got to be these things. They're these little compartments

1253
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 1: that history has taught us. You've got to be elite here.

1254
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,880
Speaker 1: You've got to be this in quarterback rating, you've got

1255
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:22,560
Speaker 1: to be top five in that category or this category.

1256
01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: Because all past playoff teams all past national champions have

1257
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,639
Speaker 1: had these things in common. Throw that stuff out. This year,

1258
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:32,680
Speaker 1: throw it out. This is an atypical year. It's an

1259
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:34,680
Speaker 1: anomaly year. I don't know what it is about. The

1260
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,640
Speaker 1: last year of the fourteen playoff. I'm telling you my

1261
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:39,800
Speaker 1: strategy right now. I'm throwing that stuff out. So I

1262
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: don't care what the key indicators in the past have been.

1263
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: Those are guidelines, they're not rules right now, like that

1264
01:08:45,120 --> 01:08:47,760
Speaker 1: dude in Pirates of the Caribbean sem And what I

1265
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 1: mean is, if you told me whittle down the list

1266
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:56,759
Speaker 1: of potential playoff teams, Miami's on the list, like North

1267
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,679
Speaker 1: Carolina's on the list. Oregon and Oregon State are both

1268
01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:02,880
Speaker 1: on that list. Penn State's way up there on that list.

1269
01:09:03,040 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 1: Notre Dame still on that list. There are teams that

1270
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 1: you wouldn't normally mention in this conversation, even if they're undefeated,

1271
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 1: that have to be mentioned in this conversation right now.

1272
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:15,080
Speaker 1: We may not have an elite team out there, guys,

1273
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: we may not have one, and if we don't, that's

1274
01:09:18,479 --> 01:09:21,920
Speaker 1: a recipe for chaos. And before you start to disagree

1275
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:24,920
Speaker 1: with me, feel free to do it, but just remind

1276
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 1: yourself September fools a lot of folks, and October and

1277
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 1: November can make fools out of a lot of folks

1278
01:09:33,760 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 1: who got convinced of things in September. I'm not saying

1279
01:09:37,160 --> 01:09:39,880
Speaker 1: Michigan's vulnerable. They may go on to be fifteen to

1280
01:09:39,960 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: no national champs. I'm just telling you there's no way

1281
01:09:42,360 --> 01:09:44,800
Speaker 1: to know that right now. That's all I'm telling you.

1282
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:49,559
Speaker 1: And I'm also telling you to remember this says October first,

1283
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,000
Speaker 1: not November first. You got a long way to go.

1284
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 1: You got a bunch of injuries. Unfortunately, it's a reality

1285
01:09:56,360 --> 01:09:58,559
Speaker 1: that are going to happen. All of them are going

1286
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:02,519
Speaker 1: to be unexpected, have weird turnover games. You're gonna have

1287
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 1: weird bounces of the ball. You're gonna have college football happen.

1288
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: In other words, folks are still gonna lose. There are

1289
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: a lot of losses coming, a lot of losses come.

1290
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: Maybe folks, don't you don't expect to lose games. I

1291
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:20,880
Speaker 1: think that October starting this Saturday, is going to be

1292
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 1: equal to any October we've ever seen in this sport.

1293
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 1: That's what I think, because even the ones you think

1294
01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, you may not really know. Let's get some

1295
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,720
Speaker 1: best bets and let's get out of here. I have

1296
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 1: got two of them. I've already put these in myself.

1297
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 1: I am strongly encouraging you to move on these as well.

1298
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:39,000
Speaker 1: You know what, do whatever you want to do, live

1299
01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:40,680
Speaker 1: your life. But I'm just telling you we're on two

1300
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:44,000
Speaker 1: games to start the Rominutle Express this week. And I

1301
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: also want to remind you there was someone out there

1302
01:10:47,320 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: slandering me earlier today. And as Memo said, ten times

1303
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:52,600
Speaker 1: out of ten, the folks who talk the most know

1304
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 1: the least. I give you best bets on this show.

1305
01:10:57,200 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 1: I do not finalize are full list until Friday night.

1306
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,240
Speaker 1: The reason is because we wait online moves a lot

1307
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: of times. So on Friday Night Lines, which is Friday

1308
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 1: night live on Instagram and only Instagram at late kick Josh,

1309
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 1: I give out final final best bets then and only

1310
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 1: then is the list complete. So I got some fool

1311
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: trash in me today. Trying to trash is as trash does,

1312
01:11:25,720 --> 01:11:28,559
Speaker 1: Tara true Blood. I got some fool trying to come

1313
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 1: at me today saying you went two and six this week?

1314
01:11:31,520 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 1: How'd I go two and six when we bet twelve games? No,

1315
01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 1: we did not go two and six, friend, any screenshot

1316
01:11:37,720 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 1: or past tense screenshot what Colin just showed you, which

1317
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:43,920
Speaker 1: is our fancy little graphic we have on the air

1318
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: that is incomplete. It's not complete by Thursday, so you

1319
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,080
Speaker 1: don't know what you're talking about. So anyway, now that

1320
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: I've reminded our diehards what they already know, we're taking

1321
01:11:54,280 --> 01:11:57,559
Speaker 1: Louisville plus seven to start this week. They're playing Notre Dame.

1322
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:01,680
Speaker 1: Back to back road for Notre Dame, they've been emotionally

1323
01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:04,559
Speaker 1: exhausted two weeks in a row, and now they're going

1324
01:12:04,560 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 1: into Louisville. Louisville's undefeated. I don't care about that, because they're,

1325
01:12:08,040 --> 01:12:11,640
Speaker 1: as Colin said earlier tonight, they're a soft undefeated. I

1326
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 1: care that these situationals do not favor a Notre Dame

1327
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:18,919
Speaker 1: this week. So Louisville plus seven and I'm taking Texas

1328
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:23,400
Speaker 1: Tech plus one. How in the world did Baylor beat

1329
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: UCF yesterday, I have no clue, but I know that

1330
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 1: they expended a lot of energy doing that. They got

1331
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 1: Texas Tech this week. Joey McGuire company badly need a

1332
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: conference when I think they'll get it. We're taking Red

1333
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:37,800
Speaker 1: Raiders plus one. We're taking Louisville plus seven. Thank you
