1
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:05,240
Speaker 1: All right, here we go, Pack twelve fans. This one's

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: for you. This it's the Pack twelve apostles, and only

3
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: the truth lives here. Pack twelve Apostles Apostles. Week one

4
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: in the Pack twelve is in the books who had

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: the best week and who had the worst week? Not

6
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: just in the back twelve, but the A C C

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: is a contender as well. Is there a balance of

8
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: power shift in the PAC twelve between the north and

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 1: the south. And of course we're gonna recap week one,

10
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: preview week two and give you our power rankings. I'm

11
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: George Rice Stir, He's Ralph Amston and this is the

12
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: Pack twelve Apostles. This is the Pack twelve Apostles, the

13
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: podcast Bipack twelve fans, four Pack twelve fans, Where you

14
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: get the truth. No sugarcoat in here, No bs is allowed.

15
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: We keep it one hundred and we're going to tell

16
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 1: you the truth about the conference, not gonna sugarcoat any

17
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: of that. All right, Ralph, Now one week in the

18
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: back twelve in the books, how would you what grade

19
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: would you give the conference as a whole C minus

20
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: what almost a D? Yeah? Unfortunately, the whole conference includes

21
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: the whole conference and the North, the North was a

22
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: dumpster fire. And uh, and the fact that the fact

23
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: that it's even a C minus has a lot to

24
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: do with what you see LA did on a national stage.

25
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 1: So you think that it so if you see l

26
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: A had just won by a field goal or or yeah,

27
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: then it would be lower than a C minus. Maybe maybe,

28
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: But I'm glad we don't have to think about that,

29
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: all right, dude, I would not. I've firmly in the

30
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: other camp. I would give the conference. I give the

31
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: conference a B. And the reason why I would give

32
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: the conference a B instead of actually I would rank

33
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: the conference even higher. Right, but Washington lost to Montana,

34
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: So that automatically just throws a monkey wrench in the

35
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 1: entire program. Uh, but it will in terms of the

36
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: PAC twelve program for this this year, UM and this week.

37
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: So I don't know how you can be so optimistic

38
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: after what we just saw? Why not do? Okay, look

39
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: see the difference between because I had this debate on

40
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: my show last night on UM, on my show on

41
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Mad Dog, and I said, Okay, who had the worst weekend?

42
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: The A, C, C or the Pack twelve? And I

43
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: was like, by far the A c C Clemson, North Carolina,

44
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: Florida State, and Miami, who are all supposed to be

45
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: their best teams all lost. And in the Pac twelve,

46
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: who are the Pac twelves best teams supposed to be? Ralph, Oregon, USC.

47
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think you would count U c

48
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: l A amongst those going into I did. I counted

49
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: them as a part of that because you don't. I

50
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: think I had him as my number five team, UM

51
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: Arizona State, Arizona State, Yeah, Utah, I suppose maybe not

52
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: for me, not for me. For me. For me, it

53
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: was UM, Washington and Oregon and then USC A s

54
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: U U c l A. Those are the five teams

55
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: that I have high expectations. So the so all of

56
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: them won except for Washington, right, I mean yeah, you

57
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: can say all all of them one except for Washington.

58
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: Or you can say that Oregon was down in the

59
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: fourth quarter to Fresno State and heading into the fourth

60
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: quarter it was a six point game in the U

61
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: s C. San Jose State game. And you can also

62
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: say that that Oklahoma was ranked number two in a

63
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: people and was up forty thirty five and Tulsa had

64
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: the ball with two minutes to go in the game,

65
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: like you could you say that too, Yeah, but this

66
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: is what you're doing. If I take my kids to

67
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 1: the grocery store and on the way out, they shoplift candy,

68
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: and I find out in the parking lot, and I

69
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: take them back in to admit that they were shoplifting

70
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: in the store, and I see someone else's kid also shoplifted,

71
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: but is throwing a tantrum, And my kids, at least

72
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 1: aren't throwing a tantrum. I don't think my kids are

73
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: sure great, Like I I don't think that in that moment,

74
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 1: I think about the fact that like, well, I mean,

75
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: at least they're not that bad, but they still are bad.

76
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: They did a bad thing. Like I can't. I can't say,

77
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: like I can't give the Pack twelve credit for USC

78
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: not being able to put away San Jose State, or

79
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: for a fourth and two Anthony brown run being the

80
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: only reason the Pact twelve North didn't go oh in

81
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: six whoa, whoa, whoa. That wasn't the only reason they

82
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: Oregon was winning that game no matter what. And it's

83
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: also I was on the phone with you, I don't

84
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: think that's your mindset, and that yes, yes, yes, for us,

85
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: it was I knew that they were gonna gonna win.

86
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: I just didn't like the way it looked. You are

87
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: you're you're relieved more than you are happy. No, I was.

88
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: There was no doubt that they were gonna win. It

89
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: was just it was just frustrating bro to to watch

90
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,599
Speaker 1: what happened. And we will obviously talk about it. And

91
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: I thought that the as far as the conference, who

92
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: had the worst week? I mean, it's it's obvious there

93
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: is it's obvious, but it's also there are also other contenders.

94
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: The obvious one is Washington, right, But Stanford they put

95
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: in a good be it. Dude. They were down what

96
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: oh going into the fourth quarter? It was bad, dude.

97
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: They lost twenty four to seven. They are just it

98
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: was a disaster. But do you think that this shows

99
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: a shift in the balance of power in the conference

100
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: from the North to the South. It certainly looked that way,

101
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: didn't I think. I think you look at the South

102
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: and you say, oh, it looks like some of these

103
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,559
Speaker 1: teams are trending up, if not at least holding tight,

104
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: you know, and not taking a step back like we

105
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: thought maybe Utah Wood or Colorado would in the North.

106
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: There is concern for all six teams, I think. I

107
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 1: think maybe with the exception of Oregon State, and I

108
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: would make an argument that that's not the case all

109
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 1: six teams you feel worse about after their game ended

110
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: than you did before their game started. M hmmm. See,

111
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 1: I think that you have to be happy with with

112
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: with winds and like sometimes the first game of the

113
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: season is is ugly. I'm gonna reserve judgment as far

114
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: as the balance of power shifting until this upcoming week,

115
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: probably because okay, um, okay, Now let's just go into

116
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 1: our recap of week of week one and um, for

117
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: anybody who knows we have a what do we do?

118
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: Like we uh we uh not just bet the games,

119
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: but we also you know, make our picks and predictions.

120
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: And can you tell the people how it went this

121
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: last week? Ralph? Not great? George. For me, I thought

122
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: it went great. I finished four and eight against the spread.

123
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: Uh thanks thanks to the PacTel of North in general,

124
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: where I went oh in six, Um, I'm four and

125
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: nine on the season. You went seven and five. Um,

126
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: you actually did better in the South than you did

127
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: in the North. For the first time in a really

128
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: long time, you went four and two in the South

129
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: and three and three in the North, seven and five. Overall,

130
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 1: you're eight and five on the season. You're already four

131
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: games ahead of me. Uh. One week in one game,

132
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: in which feels pretty terrible. We both went six five

133
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: and one in our over underpicks, which gives me a

134
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: one game advantage on you on the season, seven five

135
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: and one to six six and one. Okay, So now

136
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: we can start through the games. So the first game, Um,

137
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: which was the Thursday game Weber State versus Utah. What

138
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 1: was your take on that game? Utah one forty to seventeen.

139
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: They started out kind of slow. They were up nineteen

140
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 1: to seven at halftime, and then kind of stretched the

141
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: lead out as the game went on. Charlie Brewer quarterback

142
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 1: through for two thirty three two touchdowns. But I thought

143
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: the star of the show for them was Taban Thomas.

144
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:12,959
Speaker 1: They're running back. This kid is good, right, He either

145
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: he's good or it was Weaver States defense. I mean,

146
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: he looked, he looked good, he looked solid. Um it

147
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: looked like a Utah running scheme. I mean, the best

148
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: play of the game for me was Um Brewer on

149
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: the run to his left hitting Solomon Enis in the

150
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: end zone on a diving catch, because I mean that

151
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: at least showed me that they have the ability to

152
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 1: make plays when things kind of break down a little bit.

153
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 1: Uh that that was good. Kimcaid's two touchdown receptions, that's encouraging.

154
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 1: That means almost everybody in the pack twelve has a

155
00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 1: functioning tight end, which is gonna make for some some

156
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: fun football, multi dimensional football, which is nice. Um. I

157
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: would say that there were some concerns on my end

158
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 1: that it didn't seem that they were having that easy

159
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: of a time putting away. Um. We were stayed. I

160
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: think it was twenty s to ten going into the

161
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: into the fourth quarter. We were States. Okay, they're not great.

162
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 1: Obviously at the quarterback position, they didn't look very good

163
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: at all. They trotted a true freshman out there, I think, Um,

164
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: but there were two players on Weaver State that I

165
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: felt like we're giving uh um, that we're giving Utah fits.

166
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 1: And that was safety Preston Smith, who was all over

167
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: the place. He I mean he single handedly held them

168
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: to a field goal in the first quarter by getting

169
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: three stops in a row after we were State turnover

170
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: and then I'll tell you what that kid, Rashid Shahid, Yeah,

171
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: he might have been the best player on the field

172
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: their kick returns. Was that his six sixth kick return

173
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: for a touchdown in his career? Yeah, and he's a

174
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: Blazer too, like there's no catching him. And he's after

175
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 1: he scored lightning struck. So for an entire hour we

176
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: were State was up seven to three on Utah, and

177
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 1: the fans were just miserable. Of course. So, but doesn't

178
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: this Utah team feel, even with Charlie Brewer as the quarterback,

179
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: very much like typical Utah teams where they don't necessarily

180
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: feel as explosive as you would normally like to see. Yeah,

181
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: I'd say that they feel okay. They're like a Rex

182
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: Grossman Chicago Bears type thing, like they're they're okay. The

183
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: coaching is probably gonna be what puts coachman coaching and

184
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: defense is probably gonna be what puts them over the top.

185
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be like superstar performances on the offensive

186
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: side of the ball, though they do have some good pieces. Um,

187
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: because I think we feel better about this win because

188
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: of what happened in the rest of the pack. Twelve

189
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: and then we probably would have if if the Pack

190
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: twelve North had just like a normal week. Um, but yeah,

191
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,600
Speaker 1: I would say that I'd give this a B and

192
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: there's definitely a place to go from here, but they

193
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: definitely have a tougher challenge heading into this week. It

194
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: was not close, correct. Um? Okay, So what did we

195
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: pick in this game? The oh, so the picks, go

196
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: ahead and pull those up. I think this was one

197
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: that I actually didn't do too bad and and I

198
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: think you have the exact opposite of me. Let me

199
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: find Okay, So in this game we had, um, I

200
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: had Weaver State in the under and you had Utah

201
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: and the over. So I actually got you in this one.

202
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: What was the over under in this game? Um? Hold

203
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: on making me pull up a bunch of stuff here. Uh.

204
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: I think it was in the sixties. I'm checking now. Um,

205
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: this game's over under was actually it was forty eight

206
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: and a half. So you hit the over because it

207
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: was fifty seven and I hit we were State covering.

208
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: You had, You had Utah covering twenty and a half.

209
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 1: Oh my god, the only one by twenty three. Terrible, terrible,

210
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 1: terrible Alright. Uh, the next game up Southern Utah at

211
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 1: Arizona State. You had, I mean, this game was a

212
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: total wipeout Arizona State. Uh. Jaden Daniels went ten for

213
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: twelve for a hundred and thirty two yards, and it

214
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: seems like the only two incompletions were dropped by Johnny

215
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: Johnson and um, but I mean Johnny Johnny john Johnny Johnson, No, no, no, um,

216
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: what's his name, the big tal kid from Californa? Oh

217
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 1: my good, Johnny Wilson. Yeah, Johnny Wilson, Yeah, a s

218
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: U A s You got lucky there for a second

219
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 1: because Johnny Wilson it looked like messed up on a

220
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: route and and Jane Daniels through an interception and and

221
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: they I guess they saw a blady Grass move or

222
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,959
Speaker 1: something because they gave the ball back to a s

223
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: U when it probably shouldn't have gone that way. So

224
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: that was out favored by the What great would you

225
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: give this? Because I I have to be honest, like

226
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: this game and the this game and the Weaver State

227
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: game against Utah, I did not watch these both of

228
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: these entire games. And the reason why is because these

229
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: are supposed to be blowouts like you watch the first quarter,

230
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: you watch part of the second, you watch part of

231
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: the third. Once Jayden Daniels was out, I'm gone. I'm gone, bro,

232
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 1: Like there's nothing left to be gained in my opinion,

233
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: and so I turned it off. And so but I

234
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 1: know you watched every single second of this game, Bro,

235
00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 1: I did. Um. I would give a s U a

236
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 1: B it would be higher. But special teams was borderline unwatchable.

237
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: Multiple missed extra points, kicked to kick off out of bounds,

238
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: gave up an on sidekick on a pooch kick like

239
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: it was just and then in the and then there

240
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: were elements that return game was good, and then the

241
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 1: punting was good. But other than that, it was pretty

242
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: brutal to watch. Uh. And then they had over a

243
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: hundred yards and penalties in the first half, um, something

244
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: that they haven't managed to pull off in a complete

245
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: game in like ten years or something like that. So

246
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: no discipline whatsoever. Herm Edwards was kind of flippant about

247
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 1: it after the game. He's like, oh, well we expected that. Well,

248
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: no you didn't, because that's something you would prepare for

249
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: if you we expected to be super undisciplined, Like that's

250
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 1: not something you want to get caught saying out loud. Um.

251
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: Offensively though masterful performance. I mean they were fourteen of

252
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: seventeen passing on the day. UM. For some reason, they

253
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: keep trying to make this whole Johnny Wilson thing happen.

254
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't get it. Ricky Piersall looked good. He had

255
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: um an end around for a touchdown. Those are always fun. UM.

256
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: The only bad thing is they got a little bit

257
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: banged up. On the offensive side of the ball. J

258
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: Daniels cramped up, had to leave the game. Damonte train

259
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 1: Um after scoring two touchdowns, left with an ankle UM.

260
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 1: And then on the defensive side of the ball, Tyler

261
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 1: Johnson only played about eight minutes. He looked fantastic, but

262
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: then he got thrown out of the game UM for targeting.

263
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: So uh, I don't know. There are some things that

264
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: looked really really good. Offensively, they look like they're gonna

265
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 1: be pretty difficult to stop, especially if the wide receivers

266
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: do their job. UM and defensively, I've always believed that

267
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: dary and Butler was Ronald McKinnon type. UM, but he

268
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: never had an interception in a game before, and that's

269
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: something that Ronald McKinnon was really good at in UH

270
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 1: in pass coverage, and he and and Darren Butler came

271
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: through with two picks in this game, and DeAndre Pierce

272
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: had one as well, and Jack Jones had a forced fumble.

273
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: I think defensively they looked good. They didn't always look

274
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: hyper focused on the defensive side of the ball. But

275
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of hard to be against Southern Utah and

276
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: a game where you're you're up seven at halftime, um,

277
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 1: and that's with a hundred plus yards and penalties UH

278
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 1: and a couple of missed extra points or whatever else

279
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: they had going on. I don't know. I think offensively

280
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: they're gonna be um, pretty tough to contend with in

281
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve. Defensively, they've got a ton of experience.

282
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 1: If they get beat this year, it's going to be

283
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 1: them beating themselves. And after watching this game, I have

284
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: some concern that they might actually do it. They might

285
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: actually cost themselves a game here there with a lack

286
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: of discipline. Yeah, um, definitely. And as the season goes on,

287
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 1: and you know, they've got stuff looming over their heads,

288
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 1: we'll see how this goes. So you have the Friday game,

289
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: you had Northern Colorado at Colorado. Um, how do we

290
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: do in that game? Let's see, you picked um, Northern

291
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: Colorado and the over. Uh and that number was set

292
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: at authority six and I had Colorado minus thirty and

293
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: a half. You had the under, you had the under,

294
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: I had the open. Yes, So yeah, I didn't I

295
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: didn't do too well here. Um. Colorado didn't really seem

296
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: super interested in trying to put this game away. They

297
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: more looked like they were just trying to learn each

298
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: other and feel each other out. Northern Colorado has a

299
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: couple of really right No, you're right. In Northern Colorado

300
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: has a couple of really good players on their team,

301
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: so I think they were able to kind of keep

302
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: it close. Um. Well, I was interested to see Dylan McCaffrey,

303
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: who transferred where where did he come from? From Nebraska

304
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: or Michigan? Uh? I believe he was the one at Michigan,

305
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: but I could be wrong. Yeah, so he transferred to

306
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: Northern Colorado, back to closer to home because he's from

307
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 1: Colorado and his dad is the coach, and his brothers

308
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: on staff, his oldest brothers on staff. Yeah. Yeah, and

309
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: he put up a decent performance. Thirty six. You know,

310
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 1: but they were clearly over mad, which I thought that

311
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: Colorado looked good in terms of their their defense because

312
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: they held them only the three for fourteen on third

313
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: on third down, oh for two on fourth down, held

314
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: them the two hundred and fifty six total yards you know,

315
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: low like completion percentage in the mid fifties. I thought

316
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: it was, and only allowed one point one yard to

317
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 1: rush while rushing for almost six yards to carry. I

318
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: thought it was pretty good. You didn't happen to see

319
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 1: who Northern Colorado is kind of well to me, best

320
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: offensive player was did you us scored their only touchdown? Oh?

321
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: Cassidy Woods from Washington State, who's suing Nick Rolovich. If

322
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: you want to hear more about that, go to the

323
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 1: last podcast, the last episode where we talked about the

324
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: Nick Rolovich lawsuit by his former player Cassidy Woods. Yeah,

325
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: he looked good. I'm not gonna lie. They tried to

326
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 1: force on the ball. He wasn't always open, but he

327
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: he looked really good. He looked like a five guy

328
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: playing at a FC school. Yeah. It's almost like it's

329
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: almost like performances like that strengthen his uh, strengthen his

330
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: case that he was FROs out out at Washington State

331
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: because if the whole thing was just that he wasn't

332
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: good enough, Um, I don't think he would be playing

333
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: the way that he's playing now exactly exactly, all right. Uh,

334
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: the next game up, how did we do? Pick wise?

335
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 1: Fresno State at Oregon. Oregon was favored by twenty and

336
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: a half point and in the first quarter, I was like, Okay,

337
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna cover up fourteen fourteen oh and then at

338
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: halftime I was like, one, all right, we still got

339
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 1: a chance to cover. And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,

340
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 1: whoa whoa. And honestly, it felt more like Marcus Arroyo

341
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: was calling plays again at ore again with the way

342
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: their offense was sputtering. They couldn't They did not run

343
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 1: the football at a at a high level. Like if

344
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: you look at their their stats, they're gonna look fine

345
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: because they rushed for a hundred and eighty six yards,

346
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: but they only got three point eight yards to carry.

347
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: That's not good enough, Like that's not gonna cut it

348
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: at all. And then they only passed for a hundred

349
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: and seventy two yards onto and to make all of

350
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: those wide receivers happy. They are going to have to,

351
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 1: you know, make sure that they are completing about twenty

352
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: three passes a game to to spread the love around.

353
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: They continue to use players in ways that infuriate me.

354
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: I feel like Johnny Johnson is somebody that you should

355
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: be hitting on quick screens, letting him drag defenders. I

356
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: feel Travis Die is somebody who should be running to

357
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: the outside a little bit more. Or do you hit

358
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: him on a swing pass um where where it's athlete

359
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,959
Speaker 1: against athlete. I didn't see a lot of that in

360
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: this team. Makes people miss in space, Ralph, he does

361
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: not good. God, dude, you and this Travis Die trade like.

362
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:24,679
Speaker 1: He's a decent back. He's not elusive, overly elusive. He

363
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: doesn't have elite quickness or speed. It's he's a jag.

364
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: Dude who led the who led the team in yards

365
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: per carry? What do you mean? I mean? Who led

366
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 1: the team in yards per carry against Fresno? Travis Die? Yeah,

367
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: and that's including Brown and his thirty yard run on

368
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: fourth and two that saved the game was a grand

369
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: total of of seventeen yards. Bro. I'm sorry, his long

370
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: was seventeen yards. So like, let's not act like it was.

371
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: It was released special and Verdell's was four. Yes, that's

372
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Neither. They didn't get the run game

373
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: going right. So I'm more encouraged or less encouraged about

374
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: Oregon after this game. Less, definitely less. It was a

375
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: very frustrating game. Um. I'm not uh an Anthony Brown

376
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 1: guy anyway. UM, I did not think that he was

377
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 1: the best option. But it did surprise me that, um,

378
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: with the amount of designed runs they had for Tyler Schuck,

379
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: that it didn't feel like a lot of Brown's runs

380
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 1: at least early on. Um, they came more, it felt

381
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,280
Speaker 1: like to me, out of pressure than it than it

382
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: was like them just having him go. Um. He is

383
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: definitely athletic, uh, and he can hit those short routes.

384
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: And so I don't know why by halftime he only

385
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: had like seven past attempts. Um, you know, maybe they

386
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: thought they were just going to breeze through Fresno State

387
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 1: but like seven times too though. Yeah. But former former

388
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: UH University of Washington quarterback Jake Hayner I liked his

389
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: guts in this game. He came out and he played.

390
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: He kind of had a fire in his eyes like

391
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: he was looking to prove something. And um, and and

392
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for the early turnover forced by Oregon

393
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 1: on a pass rush, I think maybe they forced a

394
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: couple of turnovers early on, and then for the way

395
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 1: that Oregon's passed rushing defense played in the last seven minutes,

396
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: that we could be talking about the Pack twelve North

397
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,959
Speaker 1: going on six and so um, I think you have

398
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: to I I actually am okay with how Oregon played defensively,

399
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: especially considering two players went down, and I'm not frustrated

400
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,920
Speaker 1: with Yeah, and they didn't have two of their starting

401
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 1: dbs too, so, but I thought Jake Hayner was really

402
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: good and I would agree with you the first seven

403
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: minutes of the game and the last seven minutes of

404
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 1: the game, we're we're good bye bye Oregon and hopefully

405
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: that's who this team actually really is. Yeah, because the

406
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 1: middle was kind of a ship sandwich if we're if

407
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: we're being honest, that it was tough and I and

408
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: I'm not really sure what to say, like I know

409
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: what I'd like to see. Think first of the State,

410
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 1: it's a good team though, like the States, the top

411
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: twent five team at the end of the year. Like

412
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: the President, State is a good team, but I just

413
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: believe that Oregon is more athletic. And I think when

414
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: you when you get when you get player on player

415
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: on the outside, then you should be able to make

416
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 1: some plays there. Uh. Jalen red is the one of

417
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 1: the fastest guys on the field. He had one touch,

418
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: Like you gotta you gotta find some way to get

419
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: the ball in space to your players who have the

420
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: ability to make a play on their own or at

421
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 1: least to bully some people. And that's why again it

422
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 1: always frustrates me that most of the time I see

423
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: them going to Johnny Johnson, it's forty yards down the

424
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: field with him trying to lay out and give up

425
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: his entire body. Just give him the ball. Just give

426
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: him the ball and let him try to be physical. Yeah. Um,

427
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: all right, the next game up, USC beat San Jose

428
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: State thirty to seven. And um, what was the spread

429
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 1: in the over under in this game? Let's see which game?

430
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: Which game USC San Jose? That was? It was a

431
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: two touchdown USC UH was favored, and then the over

432
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 1: under was actually sixty points. I got this one wrong.

433
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 1: I believe on both sides you had San Jose State

434
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: and the under, so you actually got the uh under

435
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 1: one of the two. Yeah, and okay, so USC in

436
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: watching this game, had Nick Starkal, the San Jose State quarterback,

437
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: not thrown a pick six in the third or no, yeah,

438
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: in the beginning of the fourth quarter. I mean, like

439
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: we were. It was still thirteen and seven going into

440
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: the fourth order, and until he threw that pick six,

441
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: which kind of broke the game open, USC couldn't do

442
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,520
Speaker 1: anything like This was very much looking like the Montana

443
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: UM the Montana Washington game in that US, except for

444
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: the fact that USC, with their offense, they can move

445
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 1: up and down the field very easily passing the ball

446
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 1: because there's so much space. But then as soon as

447
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: you get into the red zone the space is condensed,

448
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: so it's hard for them to score. And they keep

449
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: kicking field goals, kicking field goals, kicking field goals and

450
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: s Sant Jose State did a good job of that,

451
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,920
Speaker 1: and they missed a bunch of passes. They had an

452
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: opportunity in this game. So if I was USC, I

453
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: would not love the way even though the score looked

454
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: fancy and find at the end, this was not the

455
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 1: type of performance that you wanted either, right, and I

456
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: don't think that USC should be satisfied. UM. Obviously, this

457
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: is how they started the last year UM against Arizona State,

458
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: and then it took them till the fourth quarter to

459
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 1: figure out what they were doing. UM encouraging things in

460
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,879
Speaker 1: this game. Uh Eric Crowman hook the tight end getting

461
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: in the end zone. They have multiple tight ends in

462
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: this offense, and so if those guys are going to contribute,

463
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: that's big. Uh. Taj Washington I think had their first

464
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: receiving touchdown of the game or or one of the

465
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: first touchdowns of the game. He looks very good. And

466
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: again the receiving corps just gonna get better as the

467
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: year goes on, as they get people UM back healthy

468
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: and including Gary Bryant and guys like that. What surprised

469
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: me is they did try to run the ball twenty

470
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: nine times between Ingram and Malipei. UM. But if you

471
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,600
Speaker 1: take away each of their two big runs, because I

472
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: think between the man hundred and thirty one yards rushing,

473
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,000
Speaker 1: which is good, but if you take away malape i

474
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: twenty seven yard run and Ingram's nineteen yard run, then

475
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 1: that gives you pretty much what you were dealing with

476
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 1: outside of that, which is twenty seven carries for ninety yards.

477
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 1: They tried really really hard to run the ball and

478
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: they just didn't have the spacing, um and the blocking

479
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 1: to to make that work. Drake London Um targeted sixteen times.

480
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: That's no surprise there. He held his own. Katie Nixon

481
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: didn't get a catch. It's kind of a surprise. Um

482
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: and slogans looked like slogus. If you let him set

483
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: his feet, he's gonna do what he does. So as

484
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: long as they're protecting him, he's gonna be fine. He

485
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 1: just has to be better in the red zone. He

486
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: has to be able to find somebody besides Drake London

487
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: has to find a way to make use of these

488
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: really good tight ends in Crowman, Hook and Apps and

489
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: and wolf Um that they have on the team right

490
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: now and and and find a way to incorporate them

491
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 1: and actually do some good things in the red zone.

492
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: And you had brought up the thing that really broke

493
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: this game apart was when they were up sixteen to seven,

494
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: Greg Johnson Um took a pick six to the house

495
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: from thirty seven yards out and then uh and that's

496
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: when slow to smirch them down the field and hit

497
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 1: Croming hook to make it seven and that was just

498
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,120
Speaker 1: that was the end. But this was a pretty dang

499
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: close game with momentum feeling like it was going in

500
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 1: San Jose States favor headed into the fourth quarter. Yeah,

501
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: I thought that USC still has trouble running the football.

502
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 1: Like it looks fine when you when when you look

503
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 1: at it now you're like, oh, Ingram five point seven

504
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: yards to carry Malapai four point six, Like that looks

505
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: real good, right until you realize that on first and

506
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: second down they can't run the football. It wasn't until

507
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: it's third and long and they ran a couple of

508
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: draws for long yardage and stuff like that that they're

509
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 1: able to run the football when people are trying to

510
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: stop their pass game. So I think that if you're USC,

511
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: you have to still be concerned about your run game

512
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,000
Speaker 1: because there's no way that you can like the way

513
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: that that turned out as well. Um, all right, next

514
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,360
Speaker 1: game up, Oh, the game of the day. You see

515
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 1: l A versus l s u U c l A

516
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: one thirty eight to seven. This was an absolute as

517
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: kicking ralph Like the L L S. You got a

518
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: cheap touchdown at the end to make it to twenty seven.

519
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: But bro, they dominated them physically all game. Um, what

520
00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: was the spread? Oh h L s U was favored

521
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: by two and a half points I think at the end.

522
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 1: And what was the over under? It was ship Yeah,

523
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: So I dude, I knew that this game would turn out.

524
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: How it did? You? Ce l A looked extremely good.

525
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 1: They put their pass rush is crazy, bro. They are

526
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: not playing around on defense at all. They're not playing

527
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: around at all. And uh L s L S. You

528
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 1: only had one um option, which was k K Sham Boote,

529
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 1: who was tough to stop because he kept using the

530
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: He kept using the ref. He repeatedly was using the

531
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: ref as a screener on on crossing routes, uh, which,

532
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: crossing routes are are a pain in the ass anyway,

533
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: because you're gonna be open for several pockets of time

534
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: depending on how well your offensive line is blocking, and

535
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 1: if your quarterback can hit any of those windows, your

536
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: quarterback's gotta be good enough to make that throw. Um.

537
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: But crossing routes are hard enough to stop when when

538
00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: when you don't have the ref blocking for you. But

539
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: but he was twelve men on the field for l

540
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: s U. Yeah, one of the touchdowns, the U C.

541
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 1: L A defender was going to tackle him and literally

542
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: ran into the the ref. It was bad. Um Zack

543
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: Charbonnet who came from Michigan, who's from the l A. Area. Bro.

544
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: I mean, he only got eleven carries, is still made

545
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: it a hundred and seventeen yards and a touchdown. This

546
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 1: dude is good, right, I mean, he's he looks outstanding.

547
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:18,959
Speaker 1: He is good, but he's not having to do very

548
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: much on his own right now. Yeah, but he's been

549
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,600
Speaker 1: dragging yet, Like he's finishing runs he does not, Yes,

550
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: you are correct, but it's easy to finish runs when

551
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 1: you're eight yards down the field before anybody makes contact

552
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: with you. Like, it's easy to finish runs when it's

553
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: defensive backs that are you know that that are having

554
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: to do that work. This offensive line is is nuts.

555
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: And Sean Ryan, I mean, is one of the best

556
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: offensive linemen in the conference, if not the best. But

557
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: then you add their center, Um who I believe came

558
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: over from They have a center who is a grad

559
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:04,680
Speaker 1: train for who started like forty games for somebody else. Uh,

560
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: and he is um a monster I'm trying to remember

561
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: his name. Um, Paul Gratton Jr. He's a senior from

562
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh six three hundred and he I swear he's like

563
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,320
Speaker 1: a He's like a super senior who played at a

564
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 1: smaller college in the eastern United States and has now

565
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: come over um to to U c l A. A

566
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 1: grown man. And the way that he was turning people

567
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: um and and opening holes was just and George, the

568
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 1: amount of time that U c l A holds their

569
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: blocks is not something that I've seen in his conference

570
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 1: for a long time. Dude, this I tell who did who?

571
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: Did I tell you? Who? Did I say was the

572
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: team that I thought could jump up and win the

573
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 1: South this year? Well? U c l A. You've been

574
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: on them for three years. Though I've been more like

575
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: progressive over time about it because I you know, the

576
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 1: one thing that always bothers me about college football is

577
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:03,839
Speaker 1: have a guy who will get a job after a

578
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: four year build off of what they think is one

579
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: hot year, and then they won't give him four years

580
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 1: to build when they promote him. And yeah, people didn't

581
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: think that of Chip Kelly because Chip Kelly was coming

582
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: in from the NFL, and it already had success at Oregon,

583
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: but with the way that he recruits and and how

584
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: really truly has to be his kind of guy. You

585
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: need that, you need the full window. And so we

586
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: are seeing the fruits of chip Kelly's labor. And there's

587
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: a lot of people who spent the last three years

588
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 1: saying that Chip Kelly needed to be fired for the

589
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: way that he recruited, because he was keeping U c

590
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 1: l A From ever even being able to be competitive

591
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: by not getting the best talent in the door. Those

592
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 1: people are very quiet right now and should be yep,

593
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 1: And so I'm excited about them. Do This team is

594
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: moving in the right direction and I cannot wait until

595
00:35:56,160 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: they win ten games that I'm going to build a vindication. Um,

596
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 1: all right, the next game, Montana thirteam of Washington seven.

597
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 1: So obviously we both lost this game with the over

598
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 1: under dude, because there's not a woden. We need to

599
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 1: talk about it because they only scored twenty points. So

600
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 1: and who if you go back and play what I

601
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: said like about how bad Montana is and I think

602
00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: that and then I think Washington's gonna win by fifty,

603
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,280
Speaker 1: that is not a good look for me right now? Dude,

604
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: but hey, hey, will you say that you watched that

605
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: game and do you disagree with me as Montana a

606
00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 1: good team. No, they are not a good team. Like

607
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: they are objectively unathletic. And they could have won by

608
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 1: another touchdown had they not had there, had they had

609
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:56,319
Speaker 1: had a competent quarterback. And like that's the thing that

610
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 1: like this game was. I was eating. So Washington scored

611
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 1: on their first drive of the game, went up seven zero,

612
00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: Montana came back, got to feel go back, and then

613
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: you got a zero zero second quarter. I'm like, Okay,

614
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: whatever Washington's offense, I knew it was gonna be bad,

615
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,840
Speaker 1: Like I expected it to be bad because of who's

616
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: calling plays and the way that they were trying to

617
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,759
Speaker 1: do it. They're they're trying to play I talked to

618
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 1: an NFL coach yesterday and he said, Washington is trying

619
00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: to play pro football in college and that doesn't work,

620
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:39,320
Speaker 1: and and he he stated all the various reasons why.

621
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: But that's what Jim Jimmy like running damn football this

622
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 1: and it bro You're you're trying to play like it's

623
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: n instead of like it's two thousand and twenty one.

624
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: The game has changed, Nick Saban had to adapt to it.

625
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: You gotta adapt to it too. And right now, with

626
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 1: the way they're recruiting, the momentum or lack thereofs surrounding

627
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 1: their recruit recruiting, they just lost Ben Roberts to Oregon.

628
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:12,879
Speaker 1: This Montana loss, they just lost another receiver for the season. Yep, bro,

629
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: this is not like things are not looking real hot

630
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,959
Speaker 1: for Jimmy Lake right now. No, no, this is bad.

631
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 1: This game was very uninteresting. I don't have a lot

632
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: of observations other than that Edefuan Olaficio, the middle linebacker

633
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: for Washington, bit so hard on the uh the option

634
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:45,799
Speaker 1: handoff on Humphreys quarterback keeper touchdown. Like he bit so

635
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 1: hard on that that he is probably not going to

636
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: have a very good time in the film this week.

637
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: Um not that. I mean, it's it's an entire defense's

638
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: job to ultimately be able to stop an entire offense.

639
00:38:57,640 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: But that's the one play that really stood out that

640
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: they could potentially held Montana to a field goal. But

641
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: then you think about it, I'm like, oh, then they

642
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: would have lost nine to seven. Think exactly, think think

643
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: about this that they went seventy eight yards for their

644
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: first touchdown and only gained two hundred one yards to

645
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: rest it a game. And then their second half possessions

646
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: twenty eight yards, eighteen yards, twenty three yards minus seven yards,

647
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,680
Speaker 1: twenty yards in twenty five yards and after the opening drive,

648
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: they didn't run a single play inside of Montana's twenty

649
00:39:31,920 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 1: five yard line. Not a single play. Yeah, yeah, I

650
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 1: don't know, I they It just it was boring. I

651
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:50,320
Speaker 1: don't have a ton of analysis from this game because

652
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,399
Speaker 1: it was they didn't do anything, Like I can't even

653
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,879
Speaker 1: tell you, George, if Washington is bad or not, because

654
00:39:55,920 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 1: they didn't do anything like they did absolutely nothing, and

655
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 1: it's it's infuriating because like, you really ran for sixty

656
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 1: five total yards against Montana. Well, and the part that

657
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: would concern me if I were a Washington fan is

658
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 1: the lack of urgency in Jimmy Lake's face during the game.

659
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: At no point in time was he ever over. I

660
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: know every coach is different, but he wasn't yelling, He

661
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 1: wasn't like trying to fire pee people up anything, just

662
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: just sat there and he felt felt like he let

663
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,480
Speaker 1: something happen as opposed to try to, you know, stop

664
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: something bad from happening to his football team. Yeah, gosh,

665
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:47,479
Speaker 1: this is awful that Montana was one seventeen and one

666
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:51,520
Speaker 1: against Washington all time heading into this game. I don't

667
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:54,719
Speaker 1: think they're even a top three Big Sky team like

668
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: this is Offensively, I was not impressed with Montana at all. Defensively,

669
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:01,680
Speaker 1: they had a couple of kids that probably belong in

670
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: the in the Pac twelve, and you're gonna run into

671
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: that over and over again. It's gonna be more and

672
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 1: more dangerous to do stuff like this where you pay

673
00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: a team sivy FO dollars to come out to Seattle,

674
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: because we live in the era of the transfer portal,

675
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: and you're gonna run into a bunch of guys who

676
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:20,239
Speaker 1: were who were probably Power five level talent. But it

677
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,959
Speaker 1: just didn't work out the first time around. But that's

678
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:27,360
Speaker 1: not this Montana team. It's just not like Humphrey, their quarterback,

679
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:30,200
Speaker 1: I think is a Boise State bounce back from the

680
00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 1: state of Washington, I think. But even he didn't. He

681
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,279
Speaker 1: was twelve hundred and five yards. He had the one

682
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: twelve yard touchdown run and that was really that was it,

683
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 1: you know, for the Montana team is not very good.

684
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:52,120
Speaker 1: And I just can't stress enough that Washington got beat

685
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:57,800
Speaker 1: and lost at the same time by a big Sky team.

686
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: It's just I don't know I watched this game. I

687
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: don't even have any takeaways because I don't know. I

688
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,759
Speaker 1: don't even know what I'm evaluating. To be honest, there

689
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 1: that it was completely uninspiring, super unathletic. Like you said,

690
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: no sense of urgency. Um. The defense didn't have any takeaways. Uh.

691
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 1: The offense gave Montana extra chances. You'd figure, you know, well,

692
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: they need to go with what works, um. But they

693
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: targeted Kate dot In eight times. He caught all eight

694
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 1: of them, So what what more can you do? No? No, no, no, no,

695
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: no he didn't get because to two of the picks

696
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 1: were actually off of Kate and throws toward him. But

697
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: they were so incredibly bad that he couldn't They don't

698
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 1: count as a target and they ricocheted off and no

699
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:58,839
Speaker 1: that that should count as a as a because it

700
00:42:58,920 --> 00:43:04,560
Speaker 1: was really bad. It was really really bad. Yeah, all right,

701
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 1: onto the next game, Stanford at Kansas State. This was

702
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:18,040
Speaker 1: probably the most disappointing game this week in the back

703
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:23,080
Speaker 1: twelve to meet because inexplicably well, actually, now inexplicably in hindsight,

704
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 1: I picked Stanford to win eight games this season, and

705
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: this team is I mean, I know that sometimes Stanford

706
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: starts slow, but this doesn't feel like a team that

707
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 1: I watched against Kansas State that could win eight games.

708
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: You're right, Uh, they are far less athletic than I

709
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: had anticipated that they'd be. The one thing that I

710
00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 1: was really confused about going into today was having anybody

711
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 1: not be able to beat Jack West out for the jobs.

712
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 1: No disrespect to Jack West, but he's not a Pack

713
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 1: twelve top end quarterback like that. That's that's painfully obvious.

714
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: You can be a quarterback in the Pack twelve, you

715
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,480
Speaker 1: can even do pretty well. But but if you're gonna

716
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: compete for the Pack twelve North, it's not gonna be

717
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:15,400
Speaker 1: with Jack West unless you have outstanding weapons on the

718
00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: outside like he's. He's a guy that if you put

719
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of dogs on the outside for him, he's

720
00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,920
Speaker 1: gonna look way better. But that's not what they have, because,

721
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: as you said, they look way less athletic. Yeah. I

722
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: don't even know. I don't even know if that's gonna help.

723
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: To be honest, the ball just comes out of his

724
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: hands slow. Um, he not elusive uh behind center, Tanner

725
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: McKee is just a better prospect. He was uh the

726
00:44:44,360 --> 00:44:46,920
Speaker 1: number four rated quarterback in the country coming out of

727
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 1: high school, I think, And so you know that that's

728
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:52,440
Speaker 1: somebody that you would expect to step up take the

729
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: job obviously. You know, I don't know how many times

730
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:57,879
Speaker 1: has happened with Stanford where they weren't on heard percent

731
00:44:57,960 --> 00:45:00,479
Speaker 1: sure of what they even had at quarterback. I don't

732
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: know what needs to be done to rectify that. Obviously,

733
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: several other Pack twelve teams are struggling with that exact

734
00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:10,879
Speaker 1: issue right now. Um, but Stanford seems to suffer from

735
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,920
Speaker 1: it quite a bit. And and it became really obvious

736
00:45:14,040 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: in the actual play of the game that Tanner McKee

737
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: was the better quarterback. And it makes you wonder what

738
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: is happening in practice is that they don't have the

739
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:25,880
Speaker 1: ability to see that. Um. But yeah, just the the

740
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: the lack of athleticism, the lack of the ability to

741
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:34,319
Speaker 1: uh to stop the run, um, no game no game

742
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: breaking at all on this roster. That they seem to

743
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: have some talent on the outside and at tight end,

744
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 1: but it's gonna need to be you know, methodical. They're

745
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: gonna need to play perfect on offense. Um, if they're

746
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: gonna eat up yards and eat up clock and be competitive.

747
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: The egg that they laid against Kansas State is inexcusable.

748
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 1: And for years we've been talking about, you know, are

749
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: all the grad transfers catching up to Stanford? Uh? Is

750
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:02,359
Speaker 1: it hurting their is it hurting their depth? Um? You know,

751
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: he seemed to have an answer for every single one

752
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,279
Speaker 1: of the concerns, including like, you know, not being able

753
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:09,319
Speaker 1: to recruit at a high end because n C double

754
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: A rules just keep making it harder and harder on

755
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,240
Speaker 1: Stanford in general. And and when you have good teams

756
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,040
Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve, sometimes they'll steal a player or

757
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: two away. If if U C l A or or

758
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: USC or Oregon is good enough, they might actually keep

759
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,200
Speaker 1: somebody from going to Stanford. So Stanford sort of needs

760
00:46:26,239 --> 00:46:28,319
Speaker 1: everything to break their way, and they need a couple

761
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 1: of really special players on their roster um for things

762
00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: to work out because the depth just isn't there. They

763
00:46:34,600 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 1: don't ever go right up to the scholarship limit. Um,

764
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,400
Speaker 1: maybe this is it. You You've been talking about the

765
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:43,800
Speaker 1: empire crumbling for years, and maybe we're finally starting to

766
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: see the product of it. I know that it's one game,

767
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 1: but it was incredibly discouraging because at no point did

768
00:46:50,360 --> 00:46:52,320
Speaker 1: they feel like they even belonged on the same field

769
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 1: as Kansas State. And if you're trying to be one

770
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: of the top three teams in the Pac twelve and

771
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 1: you can't hang with one of the you know, the

772
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,160
Speaker 1: fifth or sixth best team in the Big twelve, that's

773
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: a huge problem. Bingo bingo, bingo, bingo, bongo bengo. Right there, Um,

774
00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:13,359
Speaker 1: okay ka kaya. If we're gonna say one good thing

775
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 1: about Stanford, that Kyo Blue Kelly interception was cool as hell. Yes,

776
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: that was a fantastic interception. Um, all right, we have

777
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 1: Oregon State at Perdue. This was a game I thought

778
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 1: that Oregon State could have won. Uh and call me,

779
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: call me crazy. They were only now by nine points

780
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 1: going into the fourth quarter. They like, their offense was

781
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: pewtred at times, pewtred at times. Uh. Sam Noryer was bad, dude,

782
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 1: he was bad. Tim yards in a pick. Then they

783
00:47:55,080 --> 00:48:00,080
Speaker 1: brought in Chance Nolan, who clearly did better. And I

784
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: don't know how you how they could come out and

785
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: start Sam Noyer for this for this week. I thought

786
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 1: Sam Neyer looked like the better quarterback, and I think

787
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm in the extreme minority. Um here, wait what you

788
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: thought sam Noyer looked better? I do? I do? Um,

789
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: there's what would you rather have, George, a quarterback who

790
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 1: is overthrowing receivers and needs to make an adjustment, or

791
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: a quarterback who is severely underthrowing receivers and can't make

792
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: the adjustment because he doesn't have the arm to do it.

793
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: You're asked me, if I want to be shot or

794
00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 1: do what? Do I want to be stabbed? Well, that's

795
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,320
Speaker 1: the situation that Oregon States in right now, because Sam

796
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 1: Noyer was overthrowing receivers, and not just by a little

797
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,239
Speaker 1: he was, I mean he was putting no touch on

798
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,080
Speaker 1: the ball whatsoever. He was throwing the ball like this.

799
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:56,359
Speaker 1: M yeah uh And and you know, say what you want.

800
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:58,440
Speaker 1: He's got enough experience at quarterback where you'd like to

801
00:48:58,440 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 1: see a little bit more touch, But he also hasn't

802
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: been able to focus solely on quarterback throughout his collegiate career.

803
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 1: Um Nolan came in and he it's like he was

804
00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: seeing things better than Noyer. But when he'd go to

805
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 1: let the ball out of his hands, he it would

806
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: either be up for grabs or the receiver would have

807
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: to turn around, come back and get it. And that

808
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:23,400
Speaker 1: happened and not and I'm not I'm not finding a

809
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 1: narrative where there isn't one. I counted the three Sam

810
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:31,919
Speaker 1: Noyer crazy overthrows and three Nolan underthrows that that could

811
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,879
Speaker 1: have been problematic. And to me, that's what we're looking

812
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:36,480
Speaker 1: at here. You're looking at somebody who can see the

813
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 1: field a little bit better, UM versus somebody who has

814
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 1: a better arm. And so I've listened to several other

815
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: pactual podcasts, I've read several other things UM all over

816
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,680
Speaker 1: the internet about you know, these two quarterbacks and who

817
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 1: would be better. And I think the majority of people

818
00:49:54,200 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 1: are saying the offense looks better with Nolan in there,

819
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,160
Speaker 1: But that could have just been Jonathan Smith, to be honest,

820
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: like do had has a three headed de coordinator. I've

821
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: never seen this before that Brad Lambert as the main guy,

822
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: Ron English and Mark Hagen. They game planned for Oregon

823
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:12,560
Speaker 1: State better than anybody I've ever seen. It was like

824
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:14,719
Speaker 1: they knew what Oregon State was gonna run before they

825
00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:17,359
Speaker 1: ran it. And by the time Jonathan Smith figured things

826
00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:19,400
Speaker 1: out in the fourth quarter, it was too late, and

827
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,919
Speaker 1: Produce offense had done enough. And then it turns out

828
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,600
Speaker 1: Oregon State can't cover the tight end. So when Purdue

829
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: figured that out, it was over. It was just Jack

830
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: Plumber to that big number eighty seven over and over

831
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:34,479
Speaker 1: and over scored the touchdown that put it out of reach.

832
00:50:34,920 --> 00:50:38,759
Speaker 1: UM got the first down after that that that took

833
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 1: away Oregon State's opportunity to UH to try to come

834
00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:46,359
Speaker 1: back UM and allowed them to score again. He's just UM.

835
00:50:46,920 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a big year for I think anybody

836
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: running a tight end up against Oregon States defense. But

837
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 1: I thought it was a brilliant coaching job by Produce

838
00:50:54,520 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 1: entire staff, because Oregon State looked like the more talented team, UM,

839
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: slightly more talented teams, slightly more athletic team, and they

840
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,919
Speaker 1: got beat UH. I think that. You know, I don't

841
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 1: anticipate Jonathan Smith having being out coached every game this year,

842
00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: because that's just not the Johnathan Smith that we know

843
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: in this conference and in the Pact twelve North. After

844
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: you watch what happened this last weekend, I'd still be

845
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: afraid of Oregon State, no matter who you are. But

846
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: I would rather have a quarterback who has the ability

847
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 1: to get the ball down the field, um, and just

848
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: needs to dial it back a little bit than somebody

849
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:35,359
Speaker 1: who can't get you what you need on offense and

850
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 1: was obviously the reason why he didn't come out as

851
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 1: the starter. Yep, Okay, that makes sense. Um, we have

852
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:50,160
Speaker 1: Nevada who beat Cal twenty two to seventeen, and here

853
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 1: Cal found a way to to snatch defeat from the

854
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: jaws of very dude. They had a win, they had

855
00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,520
Speaker 1: a win, and and and they had all at the

856
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:04,359
Speaker 1: end of the game with an opportunity to win, and

857
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,320
Speaker 1: and they I mean, I don't know, Like I guess

858
00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: you could say they cooped it, but they cow did.

859
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 1: Apparently that may be a new thing. And I just

860
00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 1: think it's interesting how the narrative has changed around coaches

861
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:21,520
Speaker 1: and how quickly it does when you actually give people

862
00:52:21,600 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 1: time and things to play out. So Cal is recruiting

863
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: better now at this point in point in time. Um,

864
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:32,440
Speaker 1: but Justin Wilcox was like a hot name for jobs

865
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:35,879
Speaker 1: when Oregons was open. Other places were open. Hot name.

866
00:52:37,040 --> 00:52:40,399
Speaker 1: But now, how would you say people feel about him?

867
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 1: And you know them being your next him being your

868
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,800
Speaker 1: next head coach. He has pulled a reverse Cliff Kingsbury.

869
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: And you can't pull a reverse Cliff Kingsbury because you

870
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:56,960
Speaker 1: can fail to identify a proper defensive coordinator and get

871
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:03,240
Speaker 1: away with feeling up because you can score. You can't

872
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,799
Speaker 1: do the opposite if you're Justin Wilcox. He's not going

873
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 1: to get an NFL head coaching job on the strength

874
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 1: of the defense city calls because he hasn't been able

875
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:16,799
Speaker 1: to identify a good offensive coordinator he's in. He's in

876
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 1: reverse Cliff mode right now, and that's a huge problem. Well,

877
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 1: and then the other thing is he had a good

878
00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator in Tim the Router, and then demoted him

879
00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 1: for a friend of his who in my drive, I

880
00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: played with both of these dudes, Peter Sermon, and with

881
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,800
Speaker 1: Justin Wilcocks demoted him for Peter Sermon to be the

882
00:53:36,880 --> 00:53:41,239
Speaker 1: play caller. And it hasn't been the same since Tim

883
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 1: the Router has been that well was his Tim de

884
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:50,280
Speaker 1: Ruter wasn't calling the plays last fall, and since Gerald

885
00:53:50,320 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: Alexander left to go to the Miami Dolphins. I'm just

886
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 1: saying it ain't been the same. Yeah. Um, here, here's

887
00:53:57,040 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: here's the the breaking point for CAL. I believe they

888
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: were winning when this happened. Um in the fourth quarter,

889
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: eleven minutes and fifteen seconds left. I'm gonna read you

890
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,520
Speaker 1: four plays in a row, Um, Damian Moore rushed up

891
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: the middle for four yards and then that was on

892
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: second and five. On third and one, Damian Moore rushed

893
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:18,720
Speaker 1: up the middle for six yards. Gets a first down

894
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 1: on first and ten with ten minutes and fifteen seconds

895
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 1: left in the game from the cow thirty six to

896
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: Carlos Brooks rushes to the left for thirty eight yards.

897
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: So left from the Nevada. Damian Moore gets the ball again,

898
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,719
Speaker 1: rushed to the left for fifteen yards. So now you

899
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 1: have Cal with the ball and the lead at the

900
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: eleven yard line with nine minutes left in the game.

901
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: They have just run for sixty three yards on four

902
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:51,239
Speaker 1: consecutive carries. What do they do? Keep running to football

903
00:54:51,320 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: right instead? Chase Garber's incomplete pass to the right. Chase

904
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: Garber's rushed to the left for two yard. Game Chase

905
00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:02,240
Speaker 1: Garber's sacked by sam had Hammond for a loss. Dario

906
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: longetto Mrs Fort yard field goal. So you get sixty

907
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:10,439
Speaker 1: three yards on four straight carries and then you don't

908
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 1: run the ball again and miss a field goal. Nevada

909
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: comes down scores and that's I mean, that was the

910
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: turning point. Nevada is a good team. You can't mess

911
00:55:20,280 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: around with them like this. This should have been a

912
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 1: two touchdown cal win and they lost like four. Bro

913
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 1: they This was a really really bad look for this

914
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 1: cow team and also kind of highlighted the problems with

915
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve North, which we've seen already with Stanford,

916
00:55:39,560 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 1: Oregon State, Nevada all had games and Washington all had

917
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,720
Speaker 1: games they either should have one or where we're favorite

918
00:55:46,760 --> 00:55:50,919
Speaker 1: in or that they had a chance to even when

919
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 1: it counted the most. Um. All right, the final Pack

920
00:55:54,719 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: twelve North game you had Utah State versus Washington's three.

921
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:07,200
Speaker 1: Utah State won this game. I Ralph, I was watching

922
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: it and I think it was twenty two to eleven

923
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: right in the fourth court. Yeah, twenty two eleven, and

924
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 1: Washington State had the ball in the two yard line, yes,

925
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,200
Speaker 1: going in like two yard line, going to go score,

926
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:31,440
Speaker 1: and they found a way to lose the game. Pretty incredible.

927
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: They so Jared Guarantano got taken out of the game

928
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: when he got hit on a on a safety when

929
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 1: they were trying to throw from their own end zone.

930
00:56:39,360 --> 00:56:43,880
Speaker 1: So Jade Delora came in. Um. He was infinitely more athletic.

931
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: He he made more plays. He just looked better than Guarantano.

932
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:53,080
Speaker 1: And Washington State is driving. They're about to put the

933
00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,279
Speaker 1: game away. This is in the fourth quarter. They're up two.

934
00:56:56,400 --> 00:56:58,359
Speaker 1: Scores anyway to get the ball down to the two

935
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: yard line, and they roll Camon Cooper out, their third

936
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: string quarterback for a goal line set. They lose yards

937
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:15,239
Speaker 1: on three consecutive plays, two negative runs um and then

938
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 1: a penalty and then I believe an incomplete pass or

939
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 1: something like that, and a field goal. So they had

940
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 1: the opportunity to go up to eleven, perhaps even go

941
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:32,480
Speaker 1: for two, and put the game out of out of

942
00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: reach completely, and they did not. They gave the ball

943
00:57:35,560 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 1: back to Utah State. Utah State scores two fourth quarter touchdowns,

944
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,760
Speaker 1: gets a two point conversion and they win. Utah State

945
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,440
Speaker 1: is not good. They're not a good Mountain West team.

946
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 1: They're not expected to finish in the top six the

947
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 1: Mountain West. They do. And he's a He is a

948
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 1: good coach, but this didn't have anything to do with him.

949
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 1: This was Galaxy brain coach. Like, it's so bad that

950
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:59,959
Speaker 1: Nick Rolovich has has had to admit that he lost

951
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 1: this game. Yeah, yep, but see, but I actually appreciate

952
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 1: that from Nick Rolovich because that's the complete opposite of

953
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: what their former coach, Mike Leach would have done when

954
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: he would have just blamed blamed the kids, he would

955
00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 1: have blamed trash on the beaches of California or some

956
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: random stuff. Shout out to Mike Leach, by the way,

957
00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 1: for having to score three touchdowns on the fourth quarter

958
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:23,760
Speaker 1: to get a win over law Tech. We like to

959
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: keep tabs on on the Pirate, all right. The last

960
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:34,440
Speaker 1: game b y U at Arizona, and this was a

961
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: game that I thought was gonna get out of hand,

962
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:39,680
Speaker 1: but Arizona was able to make it a little bit closer.

963
00:58:40,920 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 1: Uh Gunner Cruise he played like because they were supposed

964
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:49,680
Speaker 1: to be switching quarterbacks out, but Will Plumber didn't really

965
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 1: play Uh Gunner Cruise thirty four for forty five for

966
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: three thirty seven a touchdown in a pick but b

967
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: why but they're deef It was just atrocious, dude. They

968
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:04,800
Speaker 1: couldn't stop b y U at all. They ran for

969
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 1: two seven yards on eleven k on eleven yards to carry,

970
00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: So their run defensive horrendous. Um. What else did you

971
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 1: make out of the Wildcats under jet Fish? I think

972
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,920
Speaker 1: they took some time to figure things out, and I

973
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:27,760
Speaker 1: think that they got a safety um in the third

974
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:31,040
Speaker 1: quarter that that I think really switched up the momentum

975
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 1: of the game. And so it just it was it

976
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: was Travn Mason who uh who tackled the Y's running

977
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 1: back in the end zone to make it twenty one

978
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,919
Speaker 1: to five, and then you've a got the ball back

979
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:47,000
Speaker 1: and Gunner Cruz got the ball to Brian Castile who

980
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 1: ran it in for a touchdown that made eleven. They

981
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 1: got the two point conversion which made it thirteen. And

982
00:59:53,360 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: then so you figure like, oh, we're in a pretty

983
00:59:56,080 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: good position now, um, and you have even had the

984
00:59:59,720 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 1: ball and was marching down the field down one score. Uh.

985
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 1: They had a weird situation in which they got called

986
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: for offensive pass interference even though it's obviously defensive. Jet

987
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Fish got caught on camera calling the referee ff and dumb,

988
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: which was pretty funny, and then they reversed the call.

989
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: So jet Fish ended up being right, but the wind

990
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: was kind of taken out of you of a Sales

991
01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,080
Speaker 1: a little bit. Um, they probably should have been trying

992
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: to run the ball a little bit more in that situation,

993
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 1: they're getting a little pass happy and um and b

994
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 1: y U was able to to hold them without any points.

995
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:32,960
Speaker 1: Go down and kick a field goal. Um, this is

996
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 1: an eight point. You have a loss with two missed

997
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: field goals and an interception in the end zone. So

998
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 1: if I'm I did not expect University of Arizona to win,

999
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 1: I did expect him to cover. I thought, you have

1000
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 1: a looked better than I expected. After watching this game,

1001
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: I could see them winning one or two in the

1002
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: Pac twelve. I had them going winless in the Pac twelve.

1003
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: I had them going to intend this year. And I

1004
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 1: I can actually start to e a little bit what

1005
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 1: they're attempting to do. I think it's gonna take some

1006
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 1: time to gel because you have a new feature back

1007
01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:08,720
Speaker 1: in Wiley, you have a new quarterback. If they're if

1008
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:12,080
Speaker 1: they're rolling with crews Stanley Barry Hills, Okay, he had

1009
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: twelve catches for a d two yards, but you're talking

1010
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: about a former walk on. They need Jamari joint or

1011
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:19,000
Speaker 1: fresh back off his foot injury, because if they're gonna

1012
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,960
Speaker 1: do these little Dincon Dug passes, they need somebody that

1013
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 1: can make people miss and um, and nobody on the

1014
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 1: roster is that guy right now. They have athletes, they

1015
01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 1: have straight line speed. Um. They did use the tight

1016
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: end a little bit, which was interesting, and they did

1017
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: hit the running back in the passing game quite a bit.

1018
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 1: Drake Anderson had six catches, So, uh, I'll tell you what,

1019
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: there's a I think they present a potential trap game

1020
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: for a few teams. I still don't think that they

1021
01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: have the talent right now at this moment to be

1022
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: competitive against some of the higher end teams UH in

1023
01:01:54,200 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: the Pac twelve. But as we found out this last weekend,

1024
01:01:57,840 --> 01:01:59,919
Speaker 1: some teams in the Pack twelve don't care who they're

1025
01:02:00,040 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna play down to the competition regardless. But

1026
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,680
Speaker 1: I won't say I was impressed by Arizona, but it

1027
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 1: did wake me up a little bit to what is

1028
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: possible under jet Fish. It's gonna take time, though there's

1029
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 1: there's blown off like that. That's the first thing. The

1030
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: last time we saw this team, they lost seventy to seven.

1031
01:02:20,840 --> 01:02:25,120
Speaker 1: So we're already moving in the right direction, all right,

1032
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 1: So now it is time for our week two pack

1033
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 1: twelve power rankings. I am excited because this is we're

1034
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 1: we have a team on top of the pack twelve

1035
01:02:38,840 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 1: power rankings, at least in mind that hasn't been on

1036
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: top of the pack twelve power rankings. And good god,

1037
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:49,080
Speaker 1: I have no idea. How long? Um? Are you ready

1038
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: to go? I am ready? All right? We have um?

1039
01:02:58,240 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: All right, we will start at twelve and go through

1040
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,640
Speaker 1: and then go backwards. We'll we'll, we'll go six and six.

1041
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:12,840
Speaker 1: I got Washington at number twelve, who really, what do

1042
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: you They lost to an FCS school and they only

1043
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 1: scored seven points. All right? I got Stanford number eleven,

1044
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:34,919
Speaker 1: Arizona ten, um, Oregon State nine, Washington State eight, col

1045
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:42,280
Speaker 1: number seven. So that's my twelve through seven because and

1046
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: and the reason why I did it that way. Washington

1047
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,600
Speaker 1: had by far the worst loss and the worst offensive

1048
01:03:48,760 --> 01:03:55,439
Speaker 1: and defensive performance probably uh Stanford offensive performance putrid as well,

1049
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 1: only managed seven points and couldn't stop a nosebleed Arizona.

1050
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: You still don't feel like this is a good football team,

1051
01:04:02,400 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: but at least they tried. Oregon State had a chance

1052
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 1: to win their game, didn't quite get it done, still

1053
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:12,680
Speaker 1: figuring out their quarterback situation. And Washington State they should

1054
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: have beaten Utahs they but found a way to snatch

1055
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: defeat from the jaws of victory. And then Cow. I

1056
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:21,880
Speaker 1: don't know, jury is still out on how good this

1057
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:24,680
Speaker 1: team is, but they should have beaten Nevada too. So

1058
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:31,240
Speaker 1: that's my twelve alright. So at twelve I have Stanford,

1059
01:04:32,360 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: um because unlike Washington, I feel like we might have

1060
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: actually seen who Stanford is talent wise, and that's scary.

1061
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 1: That's truly scary. UM. But maybe I'm wrong. Washington is

1062
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,440
Speaker 1: my number eleven. They didn't even give me anything to

1063
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 1: go off of. While defensively, like, they weren't terrible, they

1064
01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 1: didn't force any turnovers or anything. But their defensive backfield

1065
01:04:56,640 --> 01:05:01,360
Speaker 1: is still what it is. Um. The rest of it

1066
01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:04,320
Speaker 1: just needs that they need opportunities. They need to get

1067
01:05:04,320 --> 01:05:06,680
Speaker 1: the ball back for that offense too, to give them

1068
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 1: more opportunities to throw interceptions. I guess uh. I will

1069
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:14,240
Speaker 1: put at number ten Oregon State, and it is completely

1070
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:18,160
Speaker 1: talent based. Love Champ Flemings, but should he be getting

1071
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: fifty snaps a game. Um for a team that's going

1072
01:05:21,720 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: to compete in the Pac twelve North, probably not. So

1073
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 1: I have Oregon State at number ten. Be interesting to

1074
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: see what they do at quarterback from here on out.

1075
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: Arizona again mostly a talent issue. Um. Arizona at number

1076
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 1: nine is higher than I expected them to be really

1077
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:42,439
Speaker 1: at any point in the season. So they can thank

1078
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: Washington Stanford for looking as bad as they did. Um.

1079
01:05:47,200 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 1: I've got Cal at number eight. Uh. I don't know

1080
01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: what to say about Cal like they they do not

1081
01:05:56,480 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: possess athleteticism on the offensive side of the ball to

1082
01:06:04,080 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 1: the point where they can just ignore the running game

1083
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:08,960
Speaker 1: out right. Yeah, you don't feel like that. They don't

1084
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:13,520
Speaker 1: look special like they have a lack of special players. Yeah.

1085
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,240
Speaker 1: And you can get away with that if you have

1086
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:19,480
Speaker 1: a commitment to just holding onto the ball and waiting

1087
01:06:19,480 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: the other team out. And they got impatient and it

1088
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,520
Speaker 1: costs them big time. So I have them at number eight.

1089
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 1: Washington State, UH is my number seven because they didn't

1090
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:30,880
Speaker 1: actually look bad. I've heard a lot of people say

1091
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,160
Speaker 1: that it looked like the team quit on Rollovich. It

1092
01:06:33,240 --> 01:06:37,760
Speaker 1: looked like they um they were terrible or or whatever

1093
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,479
Speaker 1: else I thought. Defensively, they actually played with a little

1094
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 1: bit of intensity. Uh, they ran out of gas towards

1095
01:06:43,280 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 1: the end of the game. I don't know what you expect.

1096
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: Like they they held Utah State off for as long

1097
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: as they possibly could. It was Nick Rolovich with his

1098
01:06:51,080 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: offensive galaxy brain that shot them in the foot and

1099
01:06:53,960 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 1: put them in a position where they needed to to

1100
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: keep the damn from overflowing. And it just wasn't gonna

1101
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: happen all aame long. So I actually kind of You

1102
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:07,480
Speaker 1: have to remember the Washington State had the opportunity to

1103
01:07:07,560 --> 01:07:11,240
Speaker 1: go up to eleven at one point, and we're moving

1104
01:07:11,240 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: the ball really well at one point. The other frustrating

1105
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: thing is Max BORGI looked fantastic and he wasn't getting

1106
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: very many touches. He's a star. You have to feed him.

1107
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 1: And so I was encouraged by what Washington State has

1108
01:07:25,800 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 1: available on the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.

1109
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: This was a coaching mistake. I'm not gonna put it

1110
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 1: on the talent of the team. So I have them

1111
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 1: at number seven. Alright, um my number six team. I

1112
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:43,439
Speaker 1: have Colorado at number six, Utah at five, Arizona State

1113
01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:48,000
Speaker 1: at four, USC at three, Oregon at two in U

1114
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 1: c l A obviously at number one, Okay, I'm rolling

1115
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:58,640
Speaker 1: with Colorado at six. Uh. That didn't show me very much,

1116
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:02,800
Speaker 1: but I think that Uh. I think they're okay at quarterback,

1117
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 1: they're good at receiver, they're good at running back, They're

1118
01:08:06,360 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 1: satisfactory offensive line, and so if the defense is just

1119
01:08:09,600 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 1: going to continue to show up and make plays, then

1120
01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: then they could have a pretty decent year. Maybe they

1121
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,839
Speaker 1: can hang on to a top six spot. Um Utah

1122
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 1: is my number five, uh, for no other reason than

1123
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 1: they didn't like the Weaber States. Not somebody that's gonna

1124
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 1: move the needle for me either way, and that's kind

1125
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 1: of where I had them going into the season. Anyway,

1126
01:08:28,760 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 1: USC is number four. They did not look good offensively. Defensively,

1127
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:39,559
Speaker 1: Drake Jackson could possibly not trying to be too hot

1128
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,240
Speaker 1: taky here, he could possibly give cable On Thibodeau a

1129
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 1: run for his money. Maybe not to be a higher

1130
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: pick than him in the NFL draft, but certainly if

1131
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: he continues to play at this level. Four Pack twelve

1132
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year, Yeah, it's possible. I mean,

1133
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: especially if Tibodau is gonna be uh, nicked up or

1134
01:08:58,080 --> 01:09:01,200
Speaker 1: banged up. Based on what happened in the first UM

1135
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: week of the season, I have Arizona State as my

1136
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: number three, just below Oregon, only because I trust a

1137
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:17,080
Speaker 1: team that at least doesn't cause themselves problems a little

1138
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: bit more, if that makes sense. UM. Arizona State has

1139
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 1: an ability to be their own worst enemy this year. UH.

1140
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 1: And then that puts the U c l A at

1141
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: number one, far and away though like they've looked a

1142
01:09:29,800 --> 01:09:33,080
Speaker 1: lot better than Oregon in their two games. No, they

1143
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: are clearly the best team so far in the PACTWA.

1144
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 1: All right, so now this week's picks. This is obviously

1145
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:47,480
Speaker 1: a big week for the conference. You have to marquee

1146
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:54,080
Speaker 1: games in Washington at UM actually, but is then at

1147
01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 1: Washington at Michigan, Oregon at Ohio State, UM COW at

1148
01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:06,160
Speaker 1: TC you Texas A and m UH at Colorado BRO.

1149
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 1: This is not a oh and Utah b y U

1150
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:16,560
Speaker 1: Stanford USC BRO. This is a real week in the

1151
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,600
Speaker 1: PAC twelve. This this has the opportunity to be a

1152
01:10:19,680 --> 01:10:24,880
Speaker 1: rough a rough one, you might, I mean, this is

1153
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:28,640
Speaker 1: this is wild to think about. But the possibility exists

1154
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 1: for the Pack twelve to maybe only win two out

1155
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:36,360
Speaker 1: of conference games this week. Rough, If you don't stop it.

1156
01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 1: If you do not stop it, I will fight your face.

1157
01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,719
Speaker 1: That is the most outrageous thing that you have said.

1158
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: Two games, You're probably you're probably gonna get a Washington

1159
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 1: State win. They're probably gonna get There are ten games, right,

1160
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:56,719
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna get a conference Yeah. Can you guarantee

1161
01:10:56,760 --> 01:11:01,280
Speaker 1: Arizona beat San Diego State? No, I can't guarantee that.

1162
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 1: Can you guarantee Oregon State b Hawaii? Yes? Whof, We'll see,

1163
01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:13,320
Speaker 1: We'll see it is it is in Corvallis, So that's helpful. Uh.

1164
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 1: Can you guarantee you tak E T B y U? Hell? No? Okay?

1165
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: And Washington and Michigan, I'm probably know your answer there.

1166
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 1: Why would I have any confidence in Washington beating Michigan

1167
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:32,479
Speaker 1: unless Michigan doesn't take them seriously and they decide and

1168
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:39,640
Speaker 1: Washington also decides to do something completely different? Right? Uh? A,

1169
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:43,639
Speaker 1: and m at Boulder, number six team in the country

1170
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:47,679
Speaker 1: coming to Boulder. All right, man, let's let's just let's

1171
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: just together, Okay, Okay, together? Because it's I'm depressed already.

1172
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 1: Nothing's happened yet, and I'm depressed. I'm not, dude. I

1173
01:11:57,040 --> 01:11:59,880
Speaker 1: actually think the Pack twelve is going to comport it's

1174
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 1: very well. I believe that this is what would you

1175
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:06,920
Speaker 1: consider to be very well? Five and five, because I

1176
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 1: would consider that to be very well this weekend. Um, okay,

1177
01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,880
Speaker 1: five and five with no loss to Portland's State and

1178
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:19,080
Speaker 1: I will be very happy. Um not. I think you

1179
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 1: either got to get Washington or Oregon to win, if not,

1180
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:28,759
Speaker 1: if not both, to be a successful weekend, at least

1181
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:34,080
Speaker 1: one of them has to win. What if they go?

1182
01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:37,679
Speaker 1: What if they were to go, because I'm gonna test

1183
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 1: your logic think from earlier in the show. What if

1184
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: the Pack twelve goes too and eight in out of

1185
01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: conference games but the only wins are against Ohio State

1186
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:51,919
Speaker 1: and Texas A and m oh, that's a winning day.

1187
01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 1: How how oh my gosh, because that would mean the

1188
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 1: losses to Portland's State and U and l V who

1189
01:12:58,840 --> 01:13:01,320
Speaker 1: lost to a big Sky team already. Hey, bro, that's

1190
01:13:01,360 --> 01:13:07,600
Speaker 1: not that's not. It's more important for the conference to

1191
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:12,080
Speaker 1: be top heavy and have one elite one or two

1192
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 1: elite teams than it is for everybody else to do well.

1193
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 1: That'd be too top heavy, that'd be no legs, top heavy, skipping,

1194
01:13:20,600 --> 01:13:24,600
Speaker 1: skipping leg day. Yeah, all right, let's let's jump into it.

1195
01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 1: What do you want to do first? Okay, we will

1196
01:13:26,439 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 1: start with Stanford. The only in conference game, Stanford at USC. Okay,

1197
01:13:34,160 --> 01:13:43,240
Speaker 1: this line is currently USC minus seventeen, so a bigger

1198
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:47,040
Speaker 1: line than San Jose State, which is very disrespectful because

1199
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:49,760
Speaker 1: they saw Stanford play last last week. And the over

1200
01:13:49,840 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 1: under fifty one and a half you have in this game. Um,

1201
01:13:56,240 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: oh man, I can't in this game between these two teams,

1202
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 1: the idea that there's a seventeen point line is silly.

1203
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: I would be I think you'd be a sucker to

1204
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:14,840
Speaker 1: take the seventeen and USC. And so I'm gonna go

1205
01:14:14,960 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: with Stanford covering the seventeen, okay, and then the over

1206
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:26,639
Speaker 1: under over that's a guess. I'm not doing that based

1207
01:14:26,680 --> 01:14:30,719
Speaker 1: off anything. I'm hoping fingers crossed and a half, dude,

1208
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:35,640
Speaker 1: that's only twenty six like that or like this is

1209
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:38,360
Speaker 1: gonna be one. This game is gonna be like seventeen

1210
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,200
Speaker 1: to eight, and you know it. You know what I'm

1211
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:42,679
Speaker 1: going to be under. I'm gonna be under. I cannot.

1212
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:46,920
Speaker 1: I can't imagine Stanford scoring because how how much would

1213
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:50,639
Speaker 1: Stanford have to score for it to be? Okay? If

1214
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:56,640
Speaker 1: Stanford scored seventeen points, right, that mean that minus that

1215
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:00,920
Speaker 1: means thirty four. That means you need a thirty five

1216
01:15:01,000 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 1: to seventeen for USC to cover and to have the over. Man.

1217
01:15:05,400 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 1: That is not happening. That is not happening. All right?

1218
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: Are we both? Are we both on me under? Yes? Okay?

1219
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: And I've taken Stanford plus the seventeen and a half. Well, sorry, seventeen.

1220
01:15:16,560 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm with you. We're we're on the same thing here,

1221
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 1: all right. Um, Texas A and M minus seventeen and

1222
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: a half at Colorado over under fifty one. Um, I

1223
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:38,440
Speaker 1: am rolling with Boulders A tough place to play. Uh

1224
01:15:39,880 --> 01:15:47,360
Speaker 1: give me Colorado and the over Colorado and the over. Okay,

1225
01:15:47,400 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 1: So all right, so Texas and m ah okay, So

1226
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:58,840
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. They beat Kent State forty one

1227
01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:02,840
Speaker 1: to ten this last week, cam right, and if you

1228
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:11,080
Speaker 1: go back to they did not below the doors off

1229
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: of anybody, it feels like, yeah, no, Well, Tennessee, Tennessee.

1230
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:19,320
Speaker 1: They beat Tennessee by twenty one, but Tennessee was in shambles.

1231
01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,920
Speaker 1: That was the last game of the season. Oh and yeah,

1232
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:25,760
Speaker 1: Colorado ended up with a Tennessee quarterback who is now

1233
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 1: on their bench with the knee injury. Yeah. So the

1234
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,800
Speaker 1: only team that they blew out last year was South Carolina.

1235
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: So I am going and that was with Kelly mind

1236
01:16:34,080 --> 01:16:36,720
Speaker 1: at quarterback. They got a new quarterback. Now I am

1237
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:43,840
Speaker 1: going to go with Colorado plus the points. But I

1238
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:47,400
Speaker 1: also think that the over is going to hit. So

1239
01:16:47,439 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 1: what did you you You had at seventeen and a

1240
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:54,280
Speaker 1: half or seventeen seventeen okay, and over under fifty one.

1241
01:16:54,320 --> 01:16:58,160
Speaker 1: So I'm taking Colorado and the over. But you're I'm

1242
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 1: with you second time in a row. All right, Well,

1243
01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:05,080
Speaker 1: that that's an easy way not not to lose. Um

1244
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:13,000
Speaker 1: so Cal at TCU, um TCUs favorite TCU minus ten

1245
01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 1: and a half over under forty eight points. Uh, this

1246
01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:19,320
Speaker 1: is Cal all day. Love the way that they play

1247
01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 1: on the road. If they just show a commitment to

1248
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:22,920
Speaker 1: the run game, I think they're gonna keep this within ten.

1249
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 1: I won't say that they're gonna win, but I do

1250
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:27,920
Speaker 1: believe that they keep it within within two scores. I

1251
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 1: think I think I think eight to ten point loss

1252
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 1: would be respectable. I think they have a chance to

1253
01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: win this game in the end, though, so I will

1254
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:38,439
Speaker 1: take cal plus ten and a half. How about the

1255
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:43,080
Speaker 1: over under? I want you to go first. Alright, I'm

1256
01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 1: still thinking I am taking cal plus ten and a

1257
01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:53,439
Speaker 1: half and I am going to take the over as well.

1258
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:57,599
Speaker 1: So it's only forty eight points, all right, I'll roll

1259
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,280
Speaker 1: with you. All right. We never do this, but we're

1260
01:18:00,320 --> 01:18:03,800
Speaker 1: three for three, all right. Uh, the next game up.

1261
01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 1: This game doesn't even have a line. It's Portland's State

1262
01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:13,320
Speaker 1: at Washington State. UM, I guess we'll make one up

1263
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: for this one. Give him. How about we give Washington

1264
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 1: State four touchdowns, four touchdowns and a half twenty eight

1265
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:22,600
Speaker 1: and a half point line. That seems low, dude, that

1266
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:27,240
Speaker 1: seems low only because wait no, because Hawaii only beat

1267
01:18:27,320 --> 01:18:32,719
Speaker 1: them by fourteen points. Didn't Portland State give either Oregon

1268
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,240
Speaker 1: State to Washington State a game in the last couple

1269
01:18:35,280 --> 01:18:38,680
Speaker 1: of years or maybe even win one. I don't. I

1270
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 1: don't remember. Oh man, Okay, so I'm gonna go. I

1271
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 1: think that this is okay. We'll we'll give him twenty.

1272
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 1: I feel like like thirty something is the proper number.

1273
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like thirty four. So let's meet

1274
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:57,599
Speaker 1: it in between so thirty four and twenty eight? Where

1275
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: do they give us thirty three? No, no, no, sorry,

1276
01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 1: geez jesus thirty four? So we got thirty thirty two.

1277
01:19:07,240 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: This is a this is a revenge game in Portland's

1278
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 1: State shocked the Cougars to seventeen. Oh my god, Okay,

1279
01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 1: so I guess, Oh my god. Okay, So do you

1280
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 1: want to set it at twenty eight or thirty one?

1281
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm good either way. Let's go then, okay, okay, So

1282
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 1: who are you taking with Washington State is a twenty

1283
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 1: eight point favorite over Portland State. I'm taking Washington State,

1284
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 1: Dude that I just refused to believe that. Okay, So

1285
01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 1: Hawaii beat them by fourteen points, Washington State's gotta beat

1286
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:55,519
Speaker 1: them by twenty eight right wait, actually no, no, I'm

1287
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: gonna take They're gonna lose by like twenty seven. So

1288
01:19:59,600 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 1: for Portland's State, okay, So you're taking Portland State is

1289
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:06,280
Speaker 1: twenty and a half is what we're rolling with? Uh?

1290
01:20:06,360 --> 01:20:10,280
Speaker 1: Yep and a half? Okay, and we what do you

1291
01:20:10,280 --> 01:20:15,559
Speaker 1: want to set the over under at? So twenty eight

1292
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 1: and a half. So that's twenty eight and a half

1293
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: plus that said at fifty six is exactly where I

1294
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 1: was thinking. Okay, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with

1295
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 1: Washington State minus twenty and a half and over fifty six. Damn.

1296
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:40,960
Speaker 1: All right, well I'm taking the over in Portland's state, Okay,

1297
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: all right, Um, Washington at Michigan Michigan is Michigan minus

1298
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: six and a half over under forty nine. Mm hmm.

1299
01:20:57,880 --> 01:21:00,439
Speaker 1: Well I'm hammering Michigan on the mine the six and

1300
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:04,519
Speaker 1: a half. But then again, this is one of those

1301
01:21:04,520 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 1: it feels like a trap, but hammer in Michigan and

1302
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: I will roll with the under. M hmm. That's me

1303
01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:27,200
Speaker 1: being a reactionary better which never works. I am going

1304
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: to I know you're not gonna believe this. I am

1305
01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:34,320
Speaker 1: taking Washington plus two points plus the six and a

1306
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 1: half points, and I'm taking the massive underbroke massive under

1307
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 1: if this, if this, if the over under in this

1308
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: game was forty two, I would still take the under.

1309
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 1: It's forty nine, though, I'm gonna take Washington plus six

1310
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:54,960
Speaker 1: and a half and the under at forty nine. Okay,

1311
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 1: So I believe that Washington at least has enough fight

1312
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: in them to like maybe, but actually I don't think

1313
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:04,880
Speaker 1: that they're gonna win, but I think that they're gonna

1314
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:13,559
Speaker 1: keep it respectable. Seven points would be respectable. No, it

1315
01:22:13,600 --> 01:22:19,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't do because nobody seventh Michigan is fantastic. What if

1316
01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 1: it's like seven or nothing. It could be seven and nothing.

1317
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:29,599
Speaker 1: You leather helmets lose seven and nothing wrong, I'm going

1318
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: to cry royalty or dude, I'm going to laugh my

1319
01:22:34,200 --> 01:22:38,160
Speaker 1: ass off, bro John Donovan. John Donovan will not be

1320
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,280
Speaker 1: getting back on the team bus if it's seven and

1321
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:44,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna lay given the offsite coordinator. Um all right, Uh,

1322
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: San Diego State at Arizona. Arizona is a one point

1323
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 1: favorite and the over unders forty seven and a half. Well,

1324
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 1: I had Arizona winning this game in my preseason thing,

1325
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna assume that they win it by more

1326
01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:11,360
Speaker 1: than one, right. I mean, if if I couldn't even

1327
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: how would I take San Diego State if I thought

1328
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:16,519
Speaker 1: Arizona was gonna win, I couldn't. Unless I'm taking it

1329
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:18,920
Speaker 1: to be a tie game, It's impossible. I have to

1330
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:25,679
Speaker 1: roll with Arizona. Um. Tricky. It's not a rocky long

1331
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:30,639
Speaker 1: defense anymore. They still have some good players. Uh. One

1332
01:23:30,840 --> 01:23:34,640
Speaker 1: might argue that they are similar rosters, at least on

1333
01:23:34,680 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. But uh, I'm thinking

1334
01:23:40,600 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: this is going to be a seventeen. What is that?

1335
01:23:50,040 --> 01:23:51,840
Speaker 1: That's forty five? I got someone rolling with the under.

1336
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:58,759
Speaker 1: No way, no, how pal, this is Arizona is winning

1337
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 1: and the over is hitting. San Diego State last week

1338
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:08,960
Speaker 1: only beat New Mexico State to ten in Mexico State's

1339
01:24:09,080 --> 01:24:12,599
Speaker 1: very bad quite hoastly the worst team outside of Yukon yea.

1340
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 1: So they only managed twenty eight points. So this is

1341
01:24:15,160 --> 01:24:18,280
Speaker 1: a layup for Arizona, or it should be and the

1342
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:23,679
Speaker 1: and the over all. Right, um, next game you taught

1343
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:27,600
Speaker 1: at b y U. This this game is called the

1344
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:33,200
Speaker 1: Holy War, right yes? Yeah? So, um, Utah's favorite by

1345
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: seven points over under forty eight. I'll go first on

1346
01:24:37,040 --> 01:24:44,439
Speaker 1: this one. Give me oh man, give me b y

1347
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:48,120
Speaker 1: U plus seven. I think, yeah, I think Utah is

1348
01:24:48,160 --> 01:24:50,439
Speaker 1: gonna win the game. But I think that they're only

1349
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:58,360
Speaker 1: gonna win by three points. It's gonna be like four one,

1350
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 1: which puts me in a pickle this over under which

1351
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 1: I am going to lean towards the over. I think

1352
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 1: this is the first time that we're we're hitting opposites. Um,

1353
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 1: how would you feel, George, who is who would you say,

1354
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:19,320
Speaker 1: like the toughest Oregon duck ever is? Oh my god,

1355
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:23,640
Speaker 1: just like just like a tough like not even a

1356
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:29,520
Speaker 1: great player, just a real tough dude. Uh, Kevin Mitchell? Okay,

1357
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 1: So if Kevin Mitchell got the University of Washington head

1358
01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 1: coach job and one like ten games in a row

1359
01:25:35,240 --> 01:25:39,639
Speaker 1: against Oregon, how would that make you feel? That would

1360
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 1: be upsetting because you you couldn't you? You? At no

1361
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 1: point would you ever lose respect because you know what

1362
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:51,599
Speaker 1: he's about. Yeah, but like, dear God, leave us alone.

1363
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 1: Like what did we ever do to you besides give

1364
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 1: you this platform to torture us. That's the Kyle Whittingham

1365
01:25:58,200 --> 01:26:04,639
Speaker 1: experience with b y U. He owns them, He just

1366
01:26:04,760 --> 01:26:08,200
Speaker 1: owns them. They're not They're gonna cover. They're absolutely gonna

1367
01:26:08,200 --> 01:26:13,040
Speaker 1: cover in this game. They're gonna embarrass the Cougars in provo,

1368
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,200
Speaker 1: hopefully to the point where by U makes the right

1369
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:17,680
Speaker 1: decision and goes to not their second string with their

1370
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:21,200
Speaker 1: third string quarterback, who is awesome. Would love to see

1371
01:26:21,240 --> 01:26:24,400
Speaker 1: him playing immediately. And I'm gonna need Utah to win

1372
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:26,599
Speaker 1: by like thirty in order to make that happen. So

1373
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 1: I am taking the utes and the under. I don't

1374
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:34,280
Speaker 1: think b y U is doing anything in this game. Okay,

1375
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 1: all right, you and LV at Arizona State, Arizona States

1376
01:26:39,400 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: favored by thirty two points. The over under is fifty three. UM.

1377
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:48,639
Speaker 1: Arroyo looks terrible at you and l V. You sound

1378
01:26:48,720 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 1: happy about that? No, I'm not. Why would I cheer

1379
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:56,040
Speaker 1: for somebody's demise? UM? I actually actually thought that he

1380
01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:58,120
Speaker 1: would be a better head coach than he than he

1381
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 1: was an offensive coordinator. And I'm on for this. Ain't that? Um,

1382
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: Arizona State's favored by thirty two points. This is ridiculous.

1383
01:27:06,520 --> 01:27:12,559
Speaker 1: This line is so insane. I have to take the

1384
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:15,439
Speaker 1: the under. Arizona State doesn't beat people by it by

1385
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 1: thirty two points. So nope, well except for Arizona, UM, yeah,

1386
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 1: so not nope, they do not cover this thirty two points.

1387
01:27:23,560 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 1: They take their foot off the gas before they win

1388
01:27:26,360 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 1: by thirty two points, and then over under a fifty three. UM.

1389
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:37,040
Speaker 1: I say they score forty forty semi points, so and

1390
01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:41,760
Speaker 1: then they'll score fourteen. It'll be like forty to fourteen fourteen.

1391
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna take the over. So you're on U

1392
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 1: n L E plus thirty two and a half and

1393
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:56,280
Speaker 1: over what fifty three? Okay, we'll take Arizona State. I

1394
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 1: think it's a five touchdown win. I think we're probably

1395
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:06,240
Speaker 1: thinking seven, which would get which would get that done? Um,

1396
01:28:06,280 --> 01:28:10,000
Speaker 1: but we'll give everybody an extra field goal so I

1397
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 1: can be with you on that over. Okay? Cool? All right? Um?

1398
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:21,400
Speaker 1: Hawaii at Oregon State. Oregon State's favored by organ State

1399
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:28,600
Speaker 1: minus eleven. There favored by eleven points over. Do you

1400
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:37,680
Speaker 1: think Oregon State wins by two touchdowns? No? Maybe? No,

1401
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:41,920
Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't. Okay, So Hawaii won this

1402
01:28:42,040 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 1: last week versus Portland's State thirty five. Yeah, Todd Graham

1403
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:50,720
Speaker 1: got his aast beaten corballis once and it's still haunts

1404
01:28:50,840 --> 01:28:54,479
Speaker 1: you face to this day. Yeah. It's still early in

1405
01:28:54,520 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 1: the season, so the weather should be fine even though

1406
01:28:57,120 --> 01:29:01,680
Speaker 1: it's an eight o'clock game. Dude, How does Oregan's Day

1407
01:29:01,720 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 1: get back to back FS one games when like USC

1408
01:29:05,040 --> 01:29:07,960
Speaker 1: and Oregon were on the PAC twelve network. But never mind,

1409
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 1: people love to see Taye John Lindsay get one jet

1410
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:16,400
Speaker 1: sweep a game. All right, I'm gonna go with oh Man,

1411
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:24,000
Speaker 1: give me the Beavers. Right, No, damn, that's a tough line,

1412
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:29,880
Speaker 1: all right? Actually, yeah, give me, give me the Beavers. Man,

1413
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:34,960
Speaker 1: give me the Beavers and under sixty four. Wait, actually

1414
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:47,760
Speaker 1: they can't stop. Yeah. Actually give me the Beavers and

1415
01:29:47,880 --> 01:29:57,879
Speaker 1: the over over sixty three and a half. Over all right, Uh,

1416
01:29:58,479 --> 01:30:01,080
Speaker 1: I'll just take the under. I'll roll with Oregon State

1417
01:30:01,120 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 1: as well, but I don't feel good about it. Neither

1418
01:30:04,280 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 1: do you. It sounds like no no, but I went

1419
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:09,160
Speaker 1: owen six in the North last week, so I'm just

1420
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:12,880
Speaker 1: kind of clinging to you on these North games. All right.

1421
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:18,320
Speaker 1: Last game up of the week Oregon at Ohio State.

1422
01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:23,040
Speaker 1: This line has ballooned after Oregon's game to fourteen and

1423
01:30:23,080 --> 01:30:28,320
Speaker 1: a half over under sixty three. Ralph, what say you?

1424
01:30:29,200 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 1: Oregon covers. I don't I've less doubt about this game

1425
01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:38,240
Speaker 1: than most of the others. Oh yeah, yeah, dude, this

1426
01:30:38,240 --> 01:30:42,200
Speaker 1: this fourteen and a half. Dude, this is bet the

1427
01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:48,479
Speaker 1: farm area here. I worst case scenario, Oregon losers. They're

1428
01:30:48,479 --> 01:30:53,400
Speaker 1: not getting blown out the water. That's not happening. So um,

1429
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:57,160
Speaker 1: give me Oregon plus fourteen and a half and I

1430
01:30:57,280 --> 01:31:04,479
Speaker 1: will take the because both teams are gonna score. But

1431
01:31:04,760 --> 01:31:06,479
Speaker 1: sixty three and a half. It was like a lot.

1432
01:31:06,479 --> 01:31:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take the under. I will do the opposite

1433
01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 1: and take the over. And I think because I think

1434
01:31:16,400 --> 01:31:21,040
Speaker 1: we're looking at like a thirty four to twenty seven game. Yeah, wait,

1435
01:31:21,040 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 1: that's still not even sixty three, is it? Damn Yeah,

1436
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:31,080
Speaker 1: I guess I'm with you. Sixty three a lot of

1437
01:31:31,160 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 1: damn points, bro, So that means that they got it

1438
01:31:34,240 --> 01:31:40,559
Speaker 1: at like forty two eight or something. Yeah, I don't

1439
01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:43,479
Speaker 1: know about that. Oregon doesn't even have that type of

1440
01:31:43,479 --> 01:31:51,559
Speaker 1: offense yep, exactly. So we will see what happens there. Um,

1441
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 1: all right, So what does before we finish up? What

1442
01:31:55,280 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 1: the success after we've gone through these games look like

1443
01:31:58,280 --> 01:32:01,000
Speaker 1: for the Pectwell, five and five to me, and it

1444
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:04,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter how how it happens. Five and five to

1445
01:32:04,160 --> 01:32:09,639
Speaker 1: me is so because because of the pending opportunity for disaster.

1446
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:13,679
Speaker 1: So if the wins are Portland's State, San Diego State,

1447
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:21,320
Speaker 1: un L v. Hawaii, and one other game, then you're fine, yes, so,

1448
01:32:22,200 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 1: and let's say it's TCU, So you're fine with losing

1449
01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:35,920
Speaker 1: to Ohio State, Texas A and M Yeah, Michigan and

1450
01:32:36,520 --> 01:32:40,080
Speaker 1: b y u. Uh No, I don't know about that.

1451
01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:42,400
Speaker 1: I think the faith here. Here's what it comes down to.

1452
01:32:42,479 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 1: The favorites need to win. The favorites absolutely need to win.

1453
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:48,680
Speaker 1: And so if there's four losses and they're all at

1454
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 1: the top end, then I could live with that. We

1455
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 1: can't have a week like last week where where three

1456
01:32:55,280 --> 01:32:57,679
Speaker 1: Mountain West teams get a win and another one almost

1457
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 1: does and a Big Sky team get to win. That

1458
01:33:00,600 --> 01:33:05,679
Speaker 1: ship cannot happen anymore. Like nobody expects Oregon to beat

1459
01:33:05,720 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 1: Ohio State right now because Cavon might not play and

1460
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 1: Anthony Brown hasn't shown that he's the guy that's going

1461
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:14,680
Speaker 1: to get them this kind of win. But nobody on

1462
01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:16,680
Speaker 1: that Oregon roster is going to be surprised by the

1463
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:19,479
Speaker 1: magnitude of this game. They're gonna be in it like

1464
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:22,599
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be a fun one. So, you know,

1465
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:25,320
Speaker 1: as as as long as none of these teams get

1466
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:27,840
Speaker 1: absolutely blown out. And I think the only team that

1467
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:30,639
Speaker 1: has an excuse here is Colorado just because of how

1468
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:32,840
Speaker 1: young they are. But again, I think the crowd's gonna

1469
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:35,800
Speaker 1: show up. I think that A and M defensively has

1470
01:33:35,840 --> 01:33:39,720
Speaker 1: not been what they were um as long as the

1471
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:41,880
Speaker 1: favorites win. So I guess, I guess six and four

1472
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:44,840
Speaker 1: is what I'm saying. All the favorites have to get

1473
01:33:44,880 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 1: a win. I'd settle for five and five if it

1474
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:50,000
Speaker 1: included one of the top four games, if it included

1475
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:55,360
Speaker 1: Michigan Tco, Ohio State or UH loss at home, or

1476
01:33:55,400 --> 01:33:59,600
Speaker 1: a huge upset of Texas A and M. See, I

1477
01:33:59,720 --> 01:34:05,799
Speaker 1: need I need the two of these three games for

1478
01:34:05,520 --> 01:34:10,839
Speaker 1: it for it to look like a good weekend Oregon, Oregon,

1479
01:34:11,120 --> 01:34:17,920
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Washington, Michigan and either Cal TCU or Colorado

1480
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:20,479
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. I need two of those games

1481
01:34:20,520 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 1: one period period. Yeah. And and I guess we have

1482
01:34:26,560 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 1: to remind that when you say five and five or

1483
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:30,920
Speaker 1: six and four, obviously one of those teams is gonna

1484
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 1: beat the other one because Stanford in USC play. Yeah. Um,

1485
01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:38,120
Speaker 1: but Stanford could f this whole weekend up because you

1486
01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:40,599
Speaker 1: could get a win over Ohio State and you could

1487
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:42,920
Speaker 1: even get a win over Texas A and M. But

1488
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:47,080
Speaker 1: if Stanford beats USC, then you're right back where you

1489
01:34:47,120 --> 01:34:51,599
Speaker 1: started of like now, the inside conference games aren't worth

1490
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:55,320
Speaker 1: anything on the top end. Yep, no, no, you are

1491
01:34:55,520 --> 01:34:58,759
Speaker 1: you are right about that. So yeah, but you guys.
