39
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: the link doesn't work.

40
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,240

Speaker 2: She's calling does not want to be part of the

79
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: content of the show, So don't do the thing where

80
00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:58,600

81
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: She won't like that. No, actually won't.

82
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,880

00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: be doing so in front of a much taller version

88
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: of Tie in my ah.

89
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, settle, let's get onto it. Let's we got some

90
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 2: news to share here at the top of the show.

91
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: So good news.

92
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: Actually, how about that Sam Harmon Saturday, Sam Harmon Saturday,

93
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: Hell yeah, baby, if you want to take that run

94
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: with it. Sam Hartman is back with wake Forest after

95
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 2: having surgery last month back on August the ninth to

96
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: remove a blood clot. Remember there was that kind of

97
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: unspoken non Hanshin uncertainty about the non football related thing.

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: He was out for a little bit but had surgery

99
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: to remove the blood clot. He had a follow up

100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: ultrasound at the end of last week that looked clear.

101
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: He's been given a clean bill of health.

102
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: Yeah said, I saw he was. He passed a number

103
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 1: of medical evaluations and tests and physical challenges to assuage

104
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: any concerns about the I think it's a thrombosis situation.

105
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: I am not a met effort doctor effort.

106
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: There is an official name for the syndrome, which I

107
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: would probably butcher but shorthand for. It is called effort thrombosis,

108
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 2: which is a condition that could emerge when you're doing

109
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: highly strenuous activities like football. So long story short, he

110
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: is back, which is great news.

111
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: Good for him.

112
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: There is a chance he could play this week against Vandy.

113
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if i'd count on that. But the

114
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 2: operative point here is that before long San Department will

115
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: be back out on the field, and that's good for

116
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: him because it's.

117
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: Good for us. Good good for US fans, yeh, for.

118
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: College football fans. The other point that I wanted to

119
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: bring up, and we haven't really had a chance to

120
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: talk about this, I don't know how much we actually

121
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,799
Speaker 2: do want to talk about this, but it is meaningful

122
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: for college football fans. The news came out yesterday Pat

123
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: McAfee going to be joining college game of that college

124
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: game Day in a full time capacity. So Pat McAfee

125
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 2: of course has had a string of just awesome news,

126
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 2: not just with his podcast, the crazily popular Pat McAfee's Show,

127
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 2: but he also does a thing for WWE on Friday

128
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 2: nights wedged in between there. I'm assuming, because of a

129
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: private jet situation, will be the full time capacity on

130
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: game day. So game Day going to be changing just

131
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 2: a little bit.

132
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think it's a show that does a very

133
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: good job of a lot of stuff that's not English,

134
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: that's not even close to English. Tie. It's a show

135
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 1: that does a lot of good things and is great

136
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 1: for the sport. But I don't hate adding new energy

137
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: and Pat McAfee is nothing if not a giant, energetic

138
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: ball of football love. So I think it's a good

139
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: thing for the show. It's a good thing for Pat.

140
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, ill all for sure tune in probably more

141
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: often than I do now, so hey, good news. We

142
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: shall see. Shall we get into our picks of the

143
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 1: week enough, dudes, I would love to yam and time

144
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: of the week.

145
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: All right, we're going to do our best here to

146
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 2: help you out in week two. Before we get into it,

147
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 2: we have to name the Saturday. It has become our

148
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: new tradition here on the show, the way that the

149
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 2: college football playoff on New Year's Eve was supposed to

150
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 2: be a quote unquote new tradition. This is ours. I've

151
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: got slow your role Saturday.

152
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: That's not bad. Have we done that before? Are just

153
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: so it sounds so familiar. Well, just because you are

154
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: so good at being you, I had stop dropping rolls

155
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: Saturday last week. Okay, now you're slow your role so

156
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: you're sticking with the roles? Yeah, Because we often say

157
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: on this show that the biggest improvement and it's not

158
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: just us, it's coaches, people who actually know football. They

159
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: say that the biggest improvement takes place between weeks one

160
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: and two, and often teams are not as bad as

161
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: they look or not as good as they look right

162
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: in week one. Week two is a time for pause,

163
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: sort of pump the brakes a little bit and lean back.

164
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: Take a look at your preview content, the studying that

165
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: you did in the build up to the season, and

166
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: don't assume that everything you thought you knew goes out

167
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: the window just because something in week.

168
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: One proved otherwise. Need to get a little bit more

169
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: body of work here before we're throwing stuff out the window.

170
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: So I say, slow your role Saturday. Yeah, be cool,

171
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 2: and let's plot ahead.

172
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: That's not bad. I like that. I just anytime I

173
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: hear you or anybody say you think you know, but

174
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: you have no idea, I think about I don't know,

175
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: Jojo or Christina Aguilera on MTV's True Life or what

176
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 1: MTV's Diary. Excuse me, you think you know but you

177
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 1: have no idea. That was always the bumper, right, the

178
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: commercial bumper was like our Coppice or any of the

179
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, the pop stars exhibit from like two thousand.

180
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 1: I went in a number of different directions with my

181
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: s words saturdaysh word. First, I thought, something's a foot Saturday.

182
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: Something's afoot, something's weird with this thing, something's new with

183
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: this team, something is awful with this team. We only

184
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: have a week of evidence, but something's a foot Saturday.

185
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna save that for later in the year, save

186
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: that for later in the year with we have a

187
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: little more evidence. So I'm gonna stick with your theme.

188
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: But I went with a different word. It's actually not

189
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: an S word, but it's an S sound. It's I'm

190
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: from the San Fernando Valley and so this one, this

191
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: word always came up with a bunch of valley dudes

192
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 1: and gals or whatever. Psuch, So we thought we do Saturday. Okay,

193
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 1: we saw something dramatic from a team. We saw something

194
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this team has turned the page. Oh

195
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: my god, this team is a disaster. You know, in

196
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: the case of Iowa's offense or Oregon, just the entirety

197
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: of Oregon said it's oh psych I like yours bet

198
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: because mine is just what a ten year old might

199
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: say after something stupid. But I think thematically, we're on

200
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 1: the same page, should we move forward, slow your role Saturday?

201
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: And as you're out there on slower role Saturday, people

202
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 2: really take exception to this segment. It happened again last week.

203
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 2: The window of opportunity. I think our analysis was spot on.

204
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:24,959
Speaker 2: This week, I'm really not so sure.

205
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: Again.

206
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 2: We do this because there are a lot of folks

207
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: out there who can't be in front of a TV

208
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 2: all day if you've got to run errands. We try

209
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: to just say, you know, time time up your errands

210
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 2: with a specific window of opportunity where you're not going

211
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: to miss too much of the action, You're not going

212
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: to miss the gist of the weekend.

213
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 1: This week, I don't know, it's hard. This week.

214
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 2: I think I would try to time it up with

215
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: whenever that Bama Texas game starts getting out of hand,

216
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: so maybe like twelve fifteen or so Eastern time, A wow,

217
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: fifteen minutes in Okay, all right, that's not about No.

218
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: I looked at the later window as the one where

219
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: it wasn't as exciting. Uh, And maybe I'm wrong, But

220
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: when you look at the night games, is there something

221
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 2: that really jumps out to you at night as an

222
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: appointment television? I mean, I think a lot of USC

223
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 2: Stanford and you don't.

224
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: That's what that's your headline.

225
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 2: I think a lot of Kentucky Florida.

226
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: I think that game is going to.

227
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 2: Be a terrific Yeah, there are some other games here

228
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: that that are of interest. Baylor BYU could be an

229
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 2: interesting game. That's a later, later game ten fifteen. But yeah,

230
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: there's games all about that late.

231
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. Damn, okay, why don't we move on.

232
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 2: Let's go to twelve pm Eastern Time on the Fox Network. Dan,

233
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 2: it's Alabama minus twenty and a half on the road

234
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: at Texas. This is a great non conference matchup, if

235
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 2: only in name. Here is what happened this week. Did

236
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: you see that dark Saban made an appearance.

237
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, there was something along the line of everybody's talking

238
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: about how Sark knows Alabama.

239
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 2: We know Sark quote, We've played several teams who know us,

240
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 2: but you act like we don't know them. That was Yeah,

241
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 2: that was his tone. Set it with that little cocksure grin.

242
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: Dan seventy three analysts watching every single player on every

243
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: single play for every single team.

244
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm enjoying the extra half teaspoon of paprika that

245
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: I think coaches have this year, whether it's Nard Dog,

246
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: patn or Douzy Herby, it's a little bit of extra

247
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: spice this year. It's good for us.

248
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: They all need Goate's though, as I'm saying, we need

249
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two to be the year of the evil

250
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: Goateea or even just like a very demonstrative soul patch.

251
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: Continue the line here is twenty and a half. It's

252
00:12:53,720 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: a big number. Does it scare you the I mean it. No,

253
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't scare me. No, it scares me in that

254
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: it's a big number on the road for a team.

255
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,400
Speaker 1: I think last year's Bama squad which is not this

256
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: year's Bamas squad, for better or worse, and I think

257
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: they'll probably have a better defense this year. They did

258
00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: not cover as road favorites last year. There was something

259
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: like one in four I believe as a road favorite

260
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: with Bryce Young. You can quote me or not quote

261
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 1: me on that. I don't really care. But it's a

262
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: big number, and we don't know a ton about Texas.

263
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: There were some good and some questionable after their win

264
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: against Louisiana Monroe. I'm not crazy about what we don't

265
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: know about Quinn. Viewers in that he didn't really throw

266
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: downfield a lot. A lot of the chunk plays were

267
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: shorter throws that you know, Bjon Robinson or whoever took

268
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: for a good amount of yardage. The defense looked improved again,

269
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: but it's sample size of nothing, and it's a lot

270
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: more difficult. We know that Texas a different Texas team,

271
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: but the same crowd, a similar crowd got this team

272
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,680
Speaker 1: into a frenzy against LSU of few years ago in

273
00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 1: that major matchup in Austin. I am I'm a little

274
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 1: bit scared about giving those points, but I just there's

275
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 1: so much more to know about Alabama than there is

276
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 1: about this Texas team. You know, the Texas offensive line,

277
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: the Texas ability to go downfield, obviously beat up at

278
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: more beat up at receiver than they would have liked

279
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: to be English possibly heading into the season, defense looked improved,

280
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: but you know, it's good guys Jamison and Overshawan, all

281
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 1: these guys, but it's Louis a Monrel. It's something that

282
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: we can't really take as gospel. So I'd be okay

283
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: taking Alabama minus. I don't know what the number is

284
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: at the moment. Twenty twenty and a half. Yeah, twenty

285
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: and a half, and I think it might be more

286
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: because of the defense. I think the Alabama front. It'd

287
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:50,480
Speaker 1: be easy to say, well, look, it's a lot of

288
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: new names. You know, Jermaine Burton and Jamiir Gibbs entering

289
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: into prominent roles is a good thing. It's a very

290
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 1: good thing to have Jamiir Gibbs entering into a prominent

291
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: role for your team. But new rhythm. You know, he

292
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 1: doesn't fully know, you know, what it's like to be

293
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: in that position for Alabama in this kind of spot.

294
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: But the defense against I mean, I know Texas started

295
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: a true freshman at left tackle last week, Calvin Banks,

296
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: who actually played very well. But you know, it's just

297
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: it's still an offensive line that is not fully dependable

298
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,880
Speaker 1: for Texas, and so for that reason, I worry about

299
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: Texas keeping this close and the lack of battle testiness

300
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: hopefully not a term of Quinn yours. So I'm going

301
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: to give those points on the road for.

302
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,560
Speaker 2: Alabama giving those points, huh yeah, yeah, I think I'm

303
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: with you.

304
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: The only thing that frightens me is and the spice

305
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: factor too.

306
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 2: As you mentioned, Ty, there is a spice factor. What

307
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: concerns me with respect to this point spread is the

308
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 2: back door cover. Okay, I do think there's potential here

309
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,360
Speaker 2: for that. I don't think that Texas defense is going

310
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 2: to be able to stop Alabama's offense. In fairness, most

311
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 2: teams won't stop Alabama's offense. It's not necessarily a knock

312
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 2: against Texas. It's just the reality of college football.

313
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: At the moment.

314
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 2: I could totally see a scenario in which Bama pulls

315
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: its starters and Texas leaves all its guys in the

316
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 2: game to get experience, and then they find a way

317
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,720
Speaker 2: to cover twenty one whatever the number ends up being.

318
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 2: So that's what frightens me more so than who's actually

319
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 2: winning this game. I have no doubt in my mind

320
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 2: that Bama is going to win this game fairly comfortably.

321
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 2: I think the lesson I learned through two weeks now

322
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: of the season is to trust my gut.

323
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: Mm hm, not.

324
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: Gonna listen to you. Not gonna listen to Bill Kley.

325
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: What does he know anyway?

326
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: Bill?

327
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, not gonna listen to the verballerhood. I love the verballerhood,

328
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: but whatever. Yeah, no saying I'm just gonna trust my

329
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 2: gut and I'm gonna hop aboard the Underthink Express all week.

330
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go Bama minus whatever here.

331
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: There's also an element that I think plays into your

332
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: line of thinking, you know, as the conductor of the

333
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: Underthink Express, is if Alabama is up big. This is

334
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: a team against which they recruit for top tier talent.

335
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 1: And to beat a team forty two to fourteen or

336
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 1: to beat a team fifty nine to fourteen leave no doubt.

337
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 1: The fact that Nick Saban, who now apparently texts he's

338
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: now an occasional Texter to recruits. Before he was only

339
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: phone maybe video calls as well, that he can say,

340
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 1: you see the Texas outcome, five star defensive tackle from Houston.

341
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: You see that was there? Saban use of emojis?

342
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: Do Saban use emojis? Does he know what they are?

343
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: Nick Saban is using correct punctuation in his texts, that

344
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 2: is paragraphs. We're very excited to have you on campus.

345
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: Period. We think you and your family are really going

346
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 1: to fit in well here, period. You know, I don't

347
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a very I don't think

348
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: there's casual texting in Nick Saban's DNA. We both got

349
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: Bama here minus whatever. Take and he probably signs proakes

350
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: Saban coach Saban. Yeah, three point thirty ABC.

351
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 2: It is Tennessee minus six and a half points on

352
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 2: the road at Pitt. This is a cool matchup. Yeah,

353
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: this is a great non conference matchup between two good

354
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 2: teams if you really zoom in. The key matchup here

355
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 2: is probably the pit defensive line, one of the top, yeah,

356
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 2: easily top ten defensive fronts in the country against a

357
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: Tennessee offensive line that frankly struggled last season. And we

358
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,919
Speaker 2: talked about it when we did the spring snap shots

359
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,959
Speaker 2: back in March and April. You know again, they had

360
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 2: to like modify the format of their spring scrimmage because

361
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: of their lack of offensive linemen and you know, some

362
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 2: other factors at Tennessee with renovations and whatnot. But offensive

363
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 2: line is an area where they've known all offseason that

364
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,639
Speaker 2: they need to improve, and just given the nature of

365
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 2: the matchup here, it feels like a pretty big time

366
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: advantage in favor of Pit here. So on top of that,

367
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 2: the fact that the game is also at home for Pitt,

368
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 2: I really like that. I really like that combination. What

369
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: gives me pause here the cause for pause, the favorite

370
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 2: pet charity is potentially the letdown spot for Pitt coming

371
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,480
Speaker 2: off of that dramatic win in the backyard brawl. Also,

372
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 2: I think Tennessee is the better team, right that, Speaking

373
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 2: of underthink express, I think Tennessee across the board is

374
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: the better team. I don't know about the situation, though

375
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 2: they've got the better offense. Defensively, I think Pitt will

376
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 2: be able to move the ball in them. I worry

377
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 2: that this game devolves into a high scoring affair.

378
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: And you know my rule.

379
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 2: My rule is, if you're getting about a touchdown in

380
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: a shootout, you take those points.

381
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: What is the current number six? Seven? I've seen it

382
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 1: six and a half.

383
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 2: I've seen it seven. Maybe for our purposes here, just

384
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 2: to further bolster my argument, we can say seven. If

385
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 2: you're cool with seven, sure, can we buy that extra

386
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 2: half point? I think game is fun as hell. I

387
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,639
Speaker 2: think a lot of points, maybe something like forty one

388
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 2: to thirty seven, and maybe Tennessee winning out right, but

389
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 2: Pitt at home getting that point, getting those seven points,

390
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 2: excuse me, right, and that mismatch that I can't get

391
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: out of my head, the defensive line against Tennessee's offensive front.

392
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 2: I think there's a chance here that Hendon Hooker's running

393
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 2: for his life, So I'm gonna go Pit plus the

394
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: number at home.

395
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 1: Hard to know exactly what Pitt's defensive front, or defensive

396
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: line or pass rushers truly are because West Virginia's line

397
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: is pretty bad. We'll see if they improve over the

398
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: course of the year. But yeah, JT. Daniels was hit

399
00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: pretty hard last week, and I look, I'm for sure

400
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,560
Speaker 1: willing to say Pitt plays well up front, but also

401
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 1: that's something to consider. Tennessee not tested in the way

402
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: that Pitt has been. Pit one on a pick six,

403
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 1: a pretty fortunate pick six. He still could have won

404
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: that game without it, but something to consider in that

405
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,159
Speaker 1: big emotional spot. If this game was an early kickoff,

406
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: I might like Tennessee a little bit more in a

407
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: letdown spot. But it is what three thirty Eastern kick

408
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: correct I marked down on my preview Tennessee. I'm going

409
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: to go with what I believe to be the better quarterback.

410
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 1: I've watched Keten Slovas in enough big games, different situation,

411
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: different coordinat. I understand all of that. You look at

412
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: last year, it was I think tese her Mac no

413
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 1: longer there obviously, Kenny Pickett no longer there, Jordan Addison

414
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: no longer there, a new offensive coordinator. I worry a

415
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: little bit that. And this was I think a Joe

416
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: Milton game for the first part until he got hurt,

417
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: was it or not? Yeah? And he ran well, No,

418
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: they didn't run. Either team didn't really run that well intentionally.

419
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,680
Speaker 1: Some of the quarterbacks made plays. So I think Hendon

420
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,959
Speaker 1: Hooker with the benefit of experience, with a little bit

421
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: of mystery to Tennessee right now, since obviously they didn't

422
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 1: play a significant team last week, I think Tennessee has

423
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: an advantage here and knowing a little bit more about

424
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: Pitt than Pitt knows about Tennessee. So I'm going to

425
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 1: go with the balls here. Actually, I'm going to go

426
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: with the balls on the road. I hate the pick

427
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: I do, but sometimes I just have enough evidence of

428
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: Keidan Slovas that I don't fully trust him in a

429
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 1: spot like this, I'm going Hendon Hooker in the balls

430
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 1: on the road to take a step forward and to

431
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: const a pseudo spot six and a half seven points,

432
00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: a lot of points. It's a lot of points, but

433
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: it is a letdown spot. Ah Man, No, not to

434
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: cover I think they win this game out right, but

435
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 1: I think it is like a three or four point win,

436
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: So I suppose I'm taking that.

437
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 2: That was where I kind of talk myself off of

438
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: Tennessee because my gut.

439
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 1: Was to go with the balls. It really was. But

440
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: I like Pitt.

441
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 2: I like the defense. I really think that matchup. You know,

442
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 2: I'm not an ex as a O's guy. People who

443
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 2: listen to the show know that, right if you're just

444
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: made aware of this fact, I apologize for any uh

445
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 2: that's any any inconvenience, but for you that that matchup

446
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 2: to me is I think worthy of a second look.

447
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 2: So we're both on Pitt then plus a number at home.

448
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Carrie. I mean the pit, dbs and secondary

449
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 1: are going to be tested. And I think JT. Daniels's

450
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: final line last week against this pit defense is a

451
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,080
Speaker 1: little bit misleading because of the drops and the amount

452
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: of pressure he was under. I thought he made good throws.

453
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 1: The big thing was pick got off the field last week.

454
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 1: That was a big deal, and that's you know, in

455
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: playing against a team who's looking to bomb the ball

456
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: downfield and win through the air. In large part I

457
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: like Pitt to keep it close enough. But yeah, I'm

458
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 1: going to underthink this one and think I just I

459
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: like where Tennessee is at as a passing attack more.

460
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: I'll go Tennessee to win, Pit to cover.

461
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 2: Four PM, Big Ten Network. It is Iowa State at Iowa,

462
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,959
Speaker 2: Iowa favored, favored by three and a half points. If

463
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 2: you're at home right now wondering what's Vegas think of

464
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: this game, you should know that the over under is

465
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 2: basically a bad NFL game. Forty one and a half

466
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 2: points is where we're at at the moment. I expect

467
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 2: a lot of folks are going to jump aboard the

468
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: Iowa State bandwagon this week.

469
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 1: The double decker bus hunter. Okay, sorry, it's not bad.

470
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 1: It's not bad.

471
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: Right, it's not bad.

472
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:21,880
Speaker 1: The double deckers busy, just double dick, Okay. Continue.

473
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 2: I understand the logic of backing Iowa State here. I

474
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 2: just want to reiterate that you typically see improvement from

475
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:31,520
Speaker 2: week one.

476
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: To week two.

477
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 2: Maybe Brian Ferrins just didn't want to show too much

478
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 2: against the jack Rabbits, the vunt of jack Rabbits of

479
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 2: South Dakota State, knowing that this game big in state

480
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: rivalry was on the horizon. I think Iowa's offense genuinely stinks,

481
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 2: not a profound statement by any stretch of the imagination.

482
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 2: I also think that their defense is legitimately good. This

483
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: is a very good defense that is not smoking mirrors.

484
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 2: This is a very good defense with maybe the best

485
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 2: linebacking corps in the country. I mean, very very good,

486
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 2: very good defense. Also, Iowa State, given the fact that

487
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 2: they are replacing big time production at quarterback, at running back,

488
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: tight end, basically the nucleus of this offense for two

489
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 2: to three years, going up against this Iowa defense, that

490
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: gives me more cause for pause here, really gives me

491
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 2: some cause for pause.

492
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 1: Okay.

493
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 2: Also Matt Campbell's oh and five against Kirk Farns for

494
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,479
Speaker 2: whatever that's worth. Yeah, whatever you make on the trends.

495
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Clones have lost six straight overall.

496
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think the move is Iowa Man.

497
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 1: I don't like it.

498
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: I wouldn't touch the points spread with a ten foot

499
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: poll three and a half. They could win by one

500
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 2: and a half. I don't know, but I'm not.

501
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: Did they not shred the Clones last year? With Iowa

502
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: State having a ton of experience positive talent? Is that

503
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: not what we saw last year?

504
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 2: All I'm saying is, I'm not even thinking of it

505
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 2: in terms of the point spread. Okay, I'm just thinking

506
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 2: of it in terms of the trust meter that we've

507
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: discussed about trust, babe, Yeah, about trust. I can trust

508
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 2: the Iowa defense. And despite the fact that I said

509
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: Kirk Farren should retire, we can trust him in this matchup.

510
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 2: He's five and zero against Matt Campbell for a reason.

511
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 2: So I'm I don't like it, but I'm on Iowa

512
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 2: minus three and a half.

513
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: So let me let me play a thought exercise for

514
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,879
Speaker 1: you quite quickly. I'm gonna try to make it quick.

515
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: If Iowa is merely not super impressive last week against

516
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: South Dakota State, so instead of winning that game, final

517
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: score was seven to three, correct a gentleman's touchdown. Yes,

518
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: what if they win that game seventeen to six? For it,

519
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: I know this is a universe in which we do

520
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,119
Speaker 1: not live. This is not a reality base question. If

521
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 1: they win that game thirteen to three, right, whereas like

522
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: that Iowa offense looked pretty bad. They win that game

523
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: thirteen to three, but not comically field goal safety safety

524
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: to three, the line is like seven or eight points, right, Yeah,

525
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,240
Speaker 1: if Iowa is merely bad within the standard deviation of

526
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 1: usual Iowa badness offensively right, So Iowa is actually my

527
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: lock of the week this week.

528
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: Really, yes, wow, luck of the week. Talk about a

529
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: bit of a zag dan. I really like that. I

530
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: love that play.

531
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: It's my play because I'm a big believer in throw

532
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: out your best day and throw out your worst day. Right.

533
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 1: Everything in the middle of that bread is where we live,

534
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: and so it can't get worse for Iowa football. It can't.

535
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 1: And so the Iowa offense, the Iowa you know, running

536
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: back situation, receiver situation, quarterback situation, it's not great at

537
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: the moment, but still if they're merely definitely bad, but

538
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 1: not comically so they're a touchdown favorite. So I'm taking

539
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: Iowa loca the week to win this game.

540
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: I agree touch in yeah yeah, three in a row

541
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 2: to start on the right.

542
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 1: This game is in Iowa City, is it not? It

543
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: is in Iowa City? Yes, yeah, there you go.

544
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 2: Four PMFS one Houston at Texas Tech Tech favored by

545
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 2: three points. Interesting line there. We had a really nice

546
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 2: showing by both teams last week for different reasons. For

547
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 2: different reasons, Houston had to scrape and claw through triple

548
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 2: ot to knock off UTSA. Good Utsa's team. By the

549
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 2: way Tech routed Murray State, Donovan Smith had to come

550
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 2: in for Tyler Shuck. It sucks he got hurt again,

551
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 2: but yeah, Donovan Smith looked pretty good in limited.

552
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: It was good last year too when he came out

553
00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,440
Speaker 1: later on in the season. Yeah, had some I mean,

554
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: don't don't launch the Oklahoma State team, but he was

555
00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: pretty good against Baylor, was good in the bowl game,

556
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 1: like had had some impressive throws. So it's Texas Tech

557
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: has one of the better backup quarterback situations continue.

558
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:57,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he's going to be the starter for I

559
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 2: think at least two more weeks because Tyler Shuck hurt

560
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,360
Speaker 2: his left shoulder and will be out a minimum of

561
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 2: two weeks.

562
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's probably I don't know if it's

563
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: a collarbone situation, but I think it's closer to the month.

564
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, the over under is sixty five. Vegas knows that

565
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 2: we know it. We're going to see a lot of points.

566
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,719
Speaker 2: We're going to see a lot of passing yardage just

567
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 2: based on how these teams are built and how they

568
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 2: want to play. Tech won the game by seventeen last year,

569
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: For whatever you make of that thirty eight to twenty one,

570
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 2: that was when Sonny Comby was the interim coach after

571
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: Matt Wells got the acts.

572
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 1: So where do you stand here?

573
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:35,920
Speaker 2: Dan? You've been all in on Houston since we did

574
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 2: previews many moons ago. Are you sticking to your guns

575
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 2: here and going with the Koogs again? Or does it

576
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 2: weird you out a little bit that this game's in Lubbock,

577
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 2: that Texas Tech is a bit of an unknown quantity.

578
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 2: They're gumpy, they've got a fiery new coach who's from Texas.

579
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 1: Well.

580
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 2: The first played well last season, just a lot to

581
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: like about the lad Raiders.

582
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: Played well in relief last week as well. Did he not?

583
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: I think he was super accurate and made plays. Uh? Yeah,

584
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: you know how much I love alliteration. So how do

585
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: I avoid the Lubbock letdown? For Houston in the wake

586
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: of a triple overtime win with their quarterback soaring in

587
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: in triple overtime for a game winning touchdown. I still

588
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: think Houston is very, very good. But maybe I'm just

589
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: a product of your sales pitch. It's been working, Gumpaness,

590
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: But right, is this This is gumpy week number one.

591
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 2: It's gumpy show. Texas Tech is the trap team of

592
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 2: the year all year. This is gumpy situation number one. Yeah, Houston,

593
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: And look, I didn't even count this one on the

594
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: list when we went through. We were just looking through

595
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 2: at Big twelve teams. But Houston a week after triple

596
00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:52,480
Speaker 2: ot win in state rival, Now, I guess is fair

597
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 2: to say against UTSA had to come back.

598
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: It was emotional.

599
00:30:57,840 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 2: I'm on Tech here. I've come too far with Texas

600
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,160
Speaker 2: Tech to bail on them at this point. I did

601
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: give this one a lot of thought because I do

602
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: believe that Houston is genuinely the better team. But I

603
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: am not slowing my role in this instance, Dan, I

604
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: am full throttle ahead with Texas Tech. Give me Tech

605
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 2: at home minus the number.

606
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: Let's go. Let's right, what is it? Three? Three and

607
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: a half. So the Vegas feels as if these two

608
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 1: teams are relatively equal and on the same page. Usually

609
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: the home team gets a round three in addition to

610
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: whatever number is percolating. So yeah, I'm going Tech here

611
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: as well. We'll be fascinating to see and it's an

612
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 1: especially interesting matchup if Texas Tech and that new offense.

613
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: If they're getting the ball out quickly, that that can

614
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: neutralize what I think is going to be a pretty good,

615
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: if not really good, Houston pass rush all season long.

616
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 1: So that's a plus for me. The experience now of

617
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 1: Donovan Smith coming in REALEF last week and obviously the

618
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: last three or four games. I don't know how many

619
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: games he played last year, but he was in there

620
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: when they were dealing with injury issues, so I think

621
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 1: it's I think it's ideal if they can handle Tank

622
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: Dell to whatever extends. I think the Red Raiders are

623
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: gonna be in a good place. So yeah, I expect points,

624
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, I think they win this game by five

625
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: or six.

626
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 2: Seven pm eesp N Kentucky on the road at Florida,

627
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 2: Florida five and a half point favorite in this game, Dan,

628
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 2: when I wrote up my preview notes, it was four.

629
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: And a half.

630
00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 2: So the mojo, the excitement around Anthony Richardson and this

631
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:37,080
Speaker 2: Florida team for sure, has been percolating all week. Betters

632
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 2: are jumping aboard the Florida Gators. I think this game

633
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: is gonna be an absolute war. Okay, I think this

634
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 2: game is going to be an absolute freakin war. It's

635
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: a nice early season test for Florida for sure, playing

636
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: two extremely physical opponents of back to back weeks. So

637
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a body blow theory here.

638
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 2: It is just the second week of the season, and

639
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: I think everyone's still pretty fresh. But it's a lot.

640
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 2: It's a lot back to back Utah and Kentucky. I

641
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: believe that Florida is good enough to win this game,

642
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 2: and I believe that because I remain very excited about

643
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson. I think he's a unique talent. We had

644
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 2: the stat last week where he didn't take any losses,

645
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 2: any losses at all, despite the fact that he ran

646
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 2: the ball what eleven times or something like that. And

647
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 2: he's a big dude, he's fast, he falls forward. It's

648
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: just those guys are a nightmare to try and match

649
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 2: up with, try and stop them, and so I think

650
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 2: he is such a unique talent with his size and

651
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:41,240
Speaker 2: speed that Florida eventually ends up winning this game. If

652
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 2: I were just picking a winner, I'd go Florida a

653
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: five and a half, a lot of points for.

654
00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: A game like this. I don't know.

655
00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: That seems to me like an overreaction to the win

656
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: over Utah five and a half, so on top of it,

657
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 2: there is a chance for a let down here. You

658
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 2: don't often see letdowns at home, but after a full

659
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 2: off season of good vibrations with Billy Napier coming aboard,

660
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 2: a big matchup against a top ten team in Utah

661
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 2: at home at night, you win that game in the

662
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 2: fashion that they did twenty nine to twenty six. Yeah,

663
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 2: everyone at Florida is feeling pretty good about the state

664
00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:19,880
Speaker 2: of this program here. Meanwhile, Kentucky has a veteran team,

665
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 2: good quarterback, a first round quarterback depending who you talk to.

666
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 2: They got seven guys back on defense. They will be

667
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: well prepared because they're a well coached team. My lock

668
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 2: of the week is Kentucky plus five and a half.

669
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 1: A road team in the swamp.

670
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, plus five plus five and a half. Excuse me,

671
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 2: I think Florida wins, but I can't see Kentucky losing

672
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: by more than three or four points.

673
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be a really tight game.

674
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,200
Speaker 1: If this were a nooner, I think you would have

675
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: a more obvious pick in Kentucky let down spot. Start

676
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: the day crowd slow filing in after a big Friday

677
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: night or whatever a night game in the Swamp. It's

678
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 1: a revenge spot if you remember this loss last year.

679
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: That's a Emery Jones Florida team. But this loss last

680
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: year was sort of the beginning of the end. I

681
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: think it was early October, I want to say, when

682
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: these two teams faced off in Lexington last year and

683
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: kind of an ugly, listless offensive loss for Florida. So

684
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: it's a revenge spot for Florida. Kentucky's a top twenty team,

685
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 1: so they're not being looked past. Right that Will Levis

686
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: is a known quantity that obviously Mark stoops and you

687
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: know their defensive coordinator has now been around for a

688
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 1: few years. I think they're a step back on the

689
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: offensive line Kentucky. They're still probably good. Probably we haven't

690
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 1: really fully seen them, but we'll see if what's Tavian

691
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: Robinson the transfer if once again he is that that

692
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: stand ins as we noted, he's occupying that Wandale Robinson role,

693
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: just like you occupy that on this show. You are

694
00:35:52,520 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 1: our Wandale Robinson. You're mister versatile. I think Swamp's tough place, man.

695
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:05,960
Speaker 1: I just there's something that bothers me about maybe Kentucky

696
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 1: not being able to run the ball like Utah was

697
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: able to down their best running back as we know,

698
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:15,359
Speaker 1: and Chris Rodriguez, I'm taking Florida here. I'm gonna give

699
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: the points. Wow. I think there's something about Anthony Richardson

700
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 1: is going to probably be better. We'll see the secondary.

701
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 1: I don't think it's going to be as good as

702
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: and Kentucky's in a good spot at safety. We'll see

703
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,879
Speaker 1: if Anthony Richardson is able to pick on corners, which

704
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: I think he will be able to do more than

705
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:35,399
Speaker 1: he was able to do against Utah. I think Utah

706
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 1: is in a better place on defense. So yes, it's

707
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, a second straight tough opponent. But also Florida

708
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 1: gets better from game one to game two, do they not?

709
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 1: They're allowed to. Yeah, they know more about who they are.

710
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: They made plays and on both sides of the ball,

711
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,960
Speaker 1: and so that being the case at home, yeah, I

712
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: think I have Florida winning the game thirty to twenty three.

713
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: I expected the line was going to move in the

714
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 2: opposite direction because when I started taking notes this week,

715
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,400
Speaker 2: it was at four and a half in favor of Florida.

716
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 2: Again at home at night, I thought for sure by

717
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 2: the time we did this preview it would be something

718
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 2: in the three to three and a half vicinity.

719
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: It went the opposite direction.

720
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 2: So either I'm all wet here and I have no

721
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 2: idea what I'm talking about, which I would advise has

722
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: happened many times before, or or I'm getting a free

723
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 2: point a half out of this right, So I'm going Kentucky.

724
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: Kentucky is one of my locks of the week. There

725
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: will be more.

726
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:43,399
Speaker 2: Okay, let's go to seven thirty ABC. It is your

727
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:48,839
Speaker 2: USC Trojans on the road at Stanford. This line has

728
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: jumped around when I saw it. When I wrote up

729
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,800
Speaker 2: the previews, it was ten and a half. Now it

730
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 2: is down to nine. USCA nine point road favorite. Dan,

731
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:02,560
Speaker 2: I will give you the floor for this one, since

732
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 2: you are a Pac twelve aficionado. On this year's Saliverbal

733
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 2: College Football podcast, I have thoughts in this game. I

734
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 2: think you know what my thoughts are on this game.

735
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 2: I gave you my thoughts in this game many weeks ago. Yeah,

736
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 2: so after you, sir.

737
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: This game is in the Pac twelve stadium with probably

738
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,479
Speaker 1: the least amount of home field advantage, so I don't

739
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: care that this is the weekend or for USC. There

740
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 1: is no juice in Palo Alto, beautiful trees on the farm,

741
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,880
Speaker 1: there is no juice in Palo Alto, useless for football games.

742
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,960
Speaker 1: So I have USC easily in this game, easily winning,

743
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 1: easily covering whatever. What we talk about. What Stanford's intentions

744
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: were last year, which you like, run the ball efficiently.

745
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 1: You know what they did against Colgate again week one.

746
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: But Colgate, all due respect to Hamilton, New York. If

747
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 1: you take away which I want to take away, the

748
00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: worst day for Iowa, you know, take away the best day,

749
00:38:59,640 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: takeaway worst day in there you have reality Stanford running

750
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:06,240
Speaker 1: back E. J. Smith. I believe Emmitt Smith's son correct.

751
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: It was like eleven carries for one hundred and eighteen yards.

752
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,960
Speaker 1: He had an eighty seven yard run in there. So

753
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,399
Speaker 1: you take away that best run that's ten for thirty one.

754
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: The well recruited offensive line and an offense that has

755
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 1: no idea what to do week to week, and a

756
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: defense that I don't trust at all that's just progressively

757
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: gotten worse. I think USC is going to win this

758
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 1: game easily. I have it at like forty five thirteen. Wow, yeah, wow, No,

759
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 1: I think Tanner McKee is good. Again, that Tanner McKee

760
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: is in a situation. I will never criticize somebody for

761
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 1: saying I want to go play football at Stanford. It's

762
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: a beautiful campus, you get a great education. It's it's

763
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,280
Speaker 1: a great decision to have the opportunity and attend Stanford

764
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,959
Speaker 1: no matter what you do. But it's kind of also

765
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,640
Speaker 1: a bad decision to go to Stanford if you want

766
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,520
Speaker 1: to win football games. So I questioned tanner McKee's decision

767
00:39:58,560 --> 00:40:02,439
Speaker 1: making USC big. Now I don't fully trust the USC

768
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: defense because they were able to generate a lot of

769
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,440
Speaker 1: points and so that maybe it may have misrepresented that

770
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 1: final score. But they also did what a really good

771
00:40:10,480 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: team should do against an outmatched Rice team. So I'm

772
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: good with USC being good. So forty five thirteen Trojans,

773
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: don't overthink it interesting the yokos hoom dog of the wheat.

774
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 1: Oh my god, you're getting involved. You're getting in bed

775
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: with the Stanford Cardinals. Do it? Oh, you silly bitch,

776
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: Oh you dumb dumb let's do it. I think there

777
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: is only one way this works for Stanford. Okay, there's

778
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: only one way that this can go it. Yeah, only

779
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: one way that this.

780
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 2: Can go down that Stanford covers this point spread. I'm

781
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:49,320
Speaker 2: not saying they're beating USC. Okay, I've I've talked myself

782
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 2: off of that pedestal. Yeah, but uh, there's only one

783
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 2: way they can cover this point spread, and it's for

784
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,799
Speaker 2: them to play ball control and play keep away from

785
00:40:58,840 --> 00:40:59,760
Speaker 2: the USC offense.

786
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 1: They can't. They literally can't.

787
00:41:03,440 --> 00:41:05,479
Speaker 2: That's what I'm worried. I'm a little bit worried about that. Okay,

788
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit worried about that. I am not

789
00:41:08,239 --> 00:41:10,720
Speaker 2: totally convinced that they've got the skill along the offensive

790
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 2: line to play that game. And I say that for

791
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 2: many of the purposes that you just highlighted with what

792
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,920
Speaker 2: they did Week one against Colegate. I would add that

793
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,640
Speaker 2: this is a veteran offensive line with everyone back. They

794
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 2: just weren't good last season and they may not be

795
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,399
Speaker 2: good again this season. There's no guarantees here that they're

796
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 2: going to take a big, a big stride, a big

797
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 2: step forward in week two after again, many of the

798
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 2: same issues came out in Week one. If we can

799
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 2: see some improved line play and if is doing some

800
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 2: heavy lifting, I fully acknowledge it, that opens up possibilities

801
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 2: for Tanner McKee, who I think we both feel could

802
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 2: be one of the better quarterbacks in college football if

803
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: given opportunity.

804
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:56,120
Speaker 1: But how would we ever know.

805
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a tree falling in the forest, right we have.

806
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 1: It's a role Stanford tree.

807
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we've got EJ. Smith Son of Emmett Smith,

808
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 2: as you pointed out, went to Stanford over Bama Georgia

809
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 2: and A and M H very highly sought after recruit.

810
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:18,760
Speaker 2: It's a specific formula. But the only way that Stanford

811
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 2: covers this point spread is if they can find it

812
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 2: in themselves to push around USC along the line, playball control,

813
00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:28,440
Speaker 2: run the ball, effectively open up some play action stuff

814
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 2: for Tanner McKee. That's the only way this goes down.

815
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 2: The issue is that they're really out gunned in the

816
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 2: trenches on defense, right, So you got to try and

817
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: keep it out of Caleb Williams's hands as much as possible.

818
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:46,279
Speaker 2: Regardless of what you think about USC's offensive line, I

819
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,680
Speaker 2: can assure you that USC's offensive line is way better

820
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: than Stanford's defensive front. Mm hmm. The strength for Stanford

821
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 2: is in its secondary, certainly not in the front seven.

822
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: And as you know, there are limits to that as well.

823
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: If a guy like a Ko Williams gets a chance

824
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,279
Speaker 2: to throw, if he's got time to pick apart and

825
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 2: throw to Jordan Aderson, Addison or whoever, like, it's not

826
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:09,800
Speaker 2: gonna matter much how good the secondary is. So this

827
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,880
Speaker 2: is all a very long way of saying again, the

828
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 2: specific formula for Stanford to cover this point spread is

829
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,480
Speaker 2: to play ball control, to run the ball effectively. I'm

830
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,320
Speaker 2: not talking for two hundred and fifty yards. I'm just

831
00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 2: talking like one hundred and sixty five yards with good

832
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 2: time of possession, converting on third downs, that type of thing.

833
00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,719
Speaker 2: That's the only way that goes down. I am gonna

834
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 2: believe in the occult forces of even year David Shaw, Okay,

835
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:36,839
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna stick to my guns from a few

836
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 2: months ago.

837
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: Tall top academic institutions can only get it done every

838
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 1: other year. That's right.

839
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 2: That's the way this thing goes. So I'm going Stanford

840
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 2: plus nine home dog of the week.

841
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: So Stanford's offense and defense. So the offense couldn't stay

842
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:54,479
Speaker 1: on the field, the defense couldn't get off the field,

843
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:59,799
Speaker 1: agains col Gay Okay. Also last year, bigger sample size

844
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,280
Speaker 1: than the one game and just strictly from a gambling

845
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: point of view, Stanford three and nine against the spread?

846
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 1: What does that tell us? Vegas probably overrated the number

847
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,960
Speaker 1: that Stanford was getting for most of the year last

848
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 1: year because they spent the majority of the year, if

849
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: not all year, as an underdog. So they overrated a

850
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: bad Stanford team last year. So in the shadow of that,

851
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 1: you say, well, what did Stanford do at home last year?

852
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 1: At least they were even worse at home against the

853
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 1: spread than they were overall. They were one and four

854
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: I believe at home against the spread, both as underdogs

855
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,680
Speaker 1: and just overall. They did beat Oregon as an underdog,

856
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 1: Oregon Anthony Brown, Joe moorehead out, whatever. And that was

857
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: a Rod Gilmore game. That was a four eightyp broadcast.

858
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 1: It's weird. Doesn't excuse anything. I'm just telling you, Vegas

859
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,520
Speaker 1: looks at Stanford in the way you look at Stanford

860
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,840
Speaker 1: with that high pitched voice saying maybe, and they're generally

861
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: wrong in the way that they evaluate the line for Stanford. Okay,

862
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,919
Speaker 1: So we'll see, won't we We will absolutely see, because

863
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,680
Speaker 1: that's how life works. It continues to move along. But

864
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 1: good luck with that. That's all thank you.

865
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 2: All Right, we got a bunch of other games that

866
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 2: I want to rifle through. If we can't, we do

867
00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:13,360
Speaker 2: rapid fidy. Let's do rapid fire. Friday, seven thirty ESPN

868
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 2: two Louisville on the road at UCF, UCF favored by

869
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 2: six and a half.

870
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,360
Speaker 1: Who you got? I'm taking the night's situational disaster for

871
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 1: Louisville road game eight pm kick last week against Syracuse

872
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 1: gets worked over back on the road short week. It's

873
00:45:29,960 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: a Friday night game, is it not? Friday night seven thirty?

874
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: So they're getting home Sunday morning from Syracuse and then

875
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: they're back on the road Thursday. So they've basically had

876
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,879
Speaker 1: no time to practice and recover, and they're going back

877
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,360
Speaker 1: on the road to take take on John Rice Plumbley.

878
00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 1: And it is Rice, John Rice Plumbley and Gus and UCF. Yeah,

879
00:45:48,719 --> 00:45:50,160
Speaker 1: give me the nights. Absolutely. Yeah.

880
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 2: The issue I have here is that are from the

881
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,719
Speaker 2: Louisville side, is that I think UCF could probably run

882
00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 2: a better version of that Syracuse offense that beat Louisville

883
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 2: by two twenty four points last week.

884
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 1: So I'm with you.

885
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 2: You see it minus the number I considered making that

886
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:07,399
Speaker 2: a lock, but I'm not going to do it. I've

887
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: got other ones here. Saturday, twelve pm High Noon on ESPN,

888
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 2: South Carolina at Arkansas. Arkansas favored by eight and a half. Dan,

889
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 2: who you got Arkansas. You can say it's sort of

890
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 2: a letdown situation, but it's an SEC game. I don't

891
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 2: think it's a letdown game. It's week two of the season.

892
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: South Carolina with that Beamer blood, with that Beamer DNA,

893
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:32,000
Speaker 1: getting points on special teams, awesome, game changing plays on

894
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: special teams, amazing. It's it. Look you're an LSU fan,

895
00:46:35,200 --> 00:46:37,360
Speaker 1: It's definitely amazing to be able to get game changing

896
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: plays on special teams and in a positive way, but

897
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,520
Speaker 1: can't count on it every week. I like Arkansas. South

898
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 1: Carolina has a ways to go, especially upfront on offense.

899
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,359
Speaker 1: I think Arkansas eats a little bit. So yeah, give

900
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: me the Hogs by a couple touchdowns.

901
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm on the Hogs as well. And you mentioned

902
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 2: South Carolina upfront. The offensive line still in a great

903
00:46:58,160 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 2: deal of turmoil.

904
00:46:59,440 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: Yep.

905
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: Sam Phittman's pedigree is line play.

906
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: It is what he knows.

907
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 2: Granted, more of an offensive line guy, but still one

908
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:08,560
Speaker 2: hundred percent knows how to break down that side of

909
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: the football, and Arkansas has been good, has been good

910
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 2: of the trenches, and I think they will eat here

911
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 2: as well.

912
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 1: So I've got the Hogs minus the number.

913
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 2: Also at high noon ESPN two, it is Miszoo at

914
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 2: your k State.

915
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: In an almost border war in the ar Slat battle.

916
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, seven and a half is the line in favor

917
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 2: of K State. I've is it weird if I'm kind

918
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,919
Speaker 2: of schewed out by that point?

919
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:40,759
Speaker 1: Spread here? No skived out Saturday. UH, It's not weird

920
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: at all in Kansas State. I was critical of UH,

921
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: and it's hard to be critical and a thirty to

922
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:51,800
Speaker 1: nothing win, but I don't love Miszoo. Brady Cook was

923
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 1: not amazing throwing the ball. And who'd they play last week?

924
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: Louisiana Tech was that their opponent. I don't want to

925
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: get things wrong. I know I do, but I'm trying to.

926
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:05,920
Speaker 2: I'm going Miszoo here, so and I can't quite explain it.

927
00:48:06,400 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 2: Kansas State out.

928
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:08,920
Speaker 1: Right, I think they win this game, but I think

929
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,960
Speaker 1: it's ugly, and ugliness means take points.

930
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:18,240
Speaker 2: Also at high noon's CBS Sports Network UTSA, the aforementioned

931
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 2: UTSA squaring off against Army. These teams played tough matchups

932
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 2: in Week one, UTSA against Houston, Army against Coastal Carolina

933
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 2: lost that game. UTSA favored by two and a half.

934
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:37,160
Speaker 2: They're playing this one at Army. Both schools again, tough

935
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,479
Speaker 2: beat last week. I'm going to ride with the US

936
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,280
Speaker 2: Army here in what I believe could be a letdown

937
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 2: spot for UTSA.

938
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 1: Three overtime game. Lose to in state Houston.

939
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:54,359
Speaker 2: Now you gotta travel across the way, across the country. Yeah,

940
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 2: and play a weird offense that's tough to prepare for,

941
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 2: just normally in the Army. Give me a Army plus

942
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 2: two and a half at home.

943
00:49:02,719 --> 00:49:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I agree for the very same reasons.

944
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:08,239
Speaker 1: Triple overtime loss, taking on an option team middle of

945
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:13,320
Speaker 1: the Hudson Valley just different. It's travel. The number scares

946
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:15,200
Speaker 1: me a little bit that it seems toss upy and

947
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,800
Speaker 1: I think obviously UTSA has the better quarterback to me,

948
00:49:18,280 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: but yeah, situationally, I'm going going Army.

949
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 2: Two thirty NBC Marshall at Notre Dame Dan. Notre Dame

950
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 2: favored by about three touchdowns, So.

951
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: You got Notre Dame to Unleash the fury, Mitch. Unleash

952
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 1: the fury, Mitch. Yeah, Notre Dame is going to be

953
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: very good this week. And if they're not, that's good

954
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 1: for me too. I got fun. Get to have fun

955
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:42,360
Speaker 1: with that. No, I think they win this game by

956
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:45,799
Speaker 1: three touchdowns plus after getting Ohio State, it'll be nice

957
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: nough sun Belt, Marshall, I don't know, man, everybody in

958
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,840
Speaker 1: the Sun Belt is extra spicy. If this is a

959
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 1: spicy year, overall, the Sun Belt is the conference of

960
00:49:57,080 --> 00:50:04,240
Speaker 1: the the utmost spice decent side. I'm not as confident

961
00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 1: as you are.

962
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,799
Speaker 2: They've got an influx of that guy's from the last

963
00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 2: couple of years of college football.

964
00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:11,800
Speaker 1: Henry Columby is the quarterback.

965
00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:17,000
Speaker 2: You remember him, Yeah, Columbia excuse me whatever. Yeah, Clint

966
00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:21,840
Speaker 2: Trickett is the offensive coordinator. Yeah, so I don't like.

967
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:27,320
Speaker 2: Notre Dame's line should be able to disrupt whatever Marshall

968
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 2: wants to do on offense. They're they're good enough upfront.

969
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 2: I'm most interested in whether Notre Dame can establish a

970
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:38,080
Speaker 2: running game because it's a patchwork defensive front for Marshall.

971
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:39,360
Speaker 1: They went out in the offseason.

972
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 2: They recruited a bunch of guys from the portal played

973
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 2: for other Power five institutions to come in there and

974
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 2: patch things up. But this is the kind of game

975
00:50:47,760 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 2: that Notre Dame needs to hopefully establish its running presence,

976
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:54,360
Speaker 2: and so I don't know if that means a heavier

977
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 2: dose of Audrey Estimate, my new favorite name on Notre Dame.

978
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,000
Speaker 1: Guy, my guy.

979
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:00,800
Speaker 2: He's the kind of guy who I think in this

980
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:02,839
Speaker 2: game could really give Notre Dame in edge. So I'll

981
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,080
Speaker 2: take Notre Dame minus twenty and a half. I don't

982
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 2: feel particularly strongly about that, but I'm what I am

983
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 2: watching for first and foremost is a rushing attack. I

984
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 2: want to see them establish dominance on the ground here

985
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,280
Speaker 2: and prove that they can at least do it against somebody.

986
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:22,359
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, Yeah, Marshall should be good this year.

987
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 1: It should be. I just think it's a neck crack opportunity.

988
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: I don't mean that in a violent way, a net

989
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: crack opportunity for Notre Dame after scoring ten points to

990
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 1: sort of again unleash the fury Mitch and have fun

991
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: scoring points because it's been a minute.

992
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 2: Three point thirty on Fox Wazoo A seventeen and a

993
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,200
Speaker 2: half point dog on the road in Madison against the

994
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 2: Wisconsin Badgers.

995
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: Dan, who you got, tob Anders, I'm gonna go with

996
00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:53,759
Speaker 1: Wazoo to cover Wisconsin, to win Wisconsin and that kind

997
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 1: of number against at least a feisty Wazoo team. It

998
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,920
Speaker 1: doesn't strike me as a squad who is going to

999
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: jump all over them. Actually, with how slowly they started

1000
00:52:01,400 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 1: last year. New offensive coordinator Braylen Allen has star potential.

1001
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 1: I just don't think they're that kind of team. So, yes,

1002
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,000
Speaker 1: they can win this game twenty four to three and

1003
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 1: not score a ton of points and just completely hold

1004
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: down Wazoo and a new look offense for the Kougs

1005
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: that struggled at times they had Idaho last week. Correct.

1006
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 1: I think I think Wazoo can do enough to it.

1007
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 1: I don't have Wazoo winning this game, but yeah, I

1008
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: have this as twenty four to thirteen.

1009
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,720
Speaker 2: I'm going in on Wisconsin. This is a direct quote

1010
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 2: from the Sneaky Stats column, which you can find out

1011
00:52:34,360 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 2: at solidverbal dot com from our good friend Travis May,

1012
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,759
Speaker 2: who does an awesome job writing every Wednesday for US.

1013
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: Quote.

1014
00:52:40,560 --> 00:52:44,800
Speaker 2: Wisconsin averaged eight point three yards per play against Illinois

1015
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 2: State in Week one. There's been exactly one Power five

1016
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 2: conference school that averaged more than eight point three yards

1017
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 2: per play throughout its season in the history of college football,

1018
00:52:54,680 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 2: and that was twenty eighteen Oklahoma. On the flip side,

1019
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:02,440
Speaker 2: Washington State struggled against a bad FCS team in Idaho

1020
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 2: and only managed twenty four total points in five and

1021
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:06,359
Speaker 2: a half yards per play.

1022
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 1: Let's go Wisconsin. Here, Dan, just getting you on the

1023
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,320
Speaker 1: record here. You spent all off season talking about Cameron

1024
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 1: Ward being all in. You can't wait, you can't wait.

1025
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 1: He throws for five yards per attempt against FCS Idaho.

1026
00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:18,840
Speaker 1: Have you completely abandoned ship No, no, no, no, no,

1027
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 1: no no. This is your opportunity. This would be your

1028
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,720
Speaker 1: opportunitist would be, it would be. It would push chips

1029
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: to the center and said for months, I have believed, believed, believed, believed,

1030
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 1: all in. Watch clips at two in the morning. I'm in,

1031
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: I'm in, I'm in. I can't do. This would be

1032
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 1: your opportunity, I can't do. This is a primetime moment

1033
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,520
Speaker 1: for Cameron Ward to say, here, I am last. I'll

1034
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: do it. I'll do it for you.

1035
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 2: Okay, I said I wasn't going to do this. I said,

1036
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,600
Speaker 2: I wasn't listening to anybody.

1037
00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: But I'm just asking.

1038
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:50,840
Speaker 2: I'm just getting clarifying. You're speaking to my soul with

1039
00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 2: my guy cam Ward.

1040
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 1: What the hell? Getting eighteen points? What the hell?

1041
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:54,960
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1042
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 1: All right?

1043
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 2: Three point thirty ESPN two app State on the road

1044
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 2: at A and M. Do we have an upset brewing here? Dan,

1045
00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 2: A and M eighteen and a half points, the favorite

1046
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 2: at home? No.

1047
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: Eighteen and a half, eighteen and a half. Yeah. I

1048
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:18,879
Speaker 1: watched app State attempt to play defense last week. Look,

1049
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,600
Speaker 1: if that's their defense's worst day. If we're throwing out

1050
00:54:21,640 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: what we think could be a team's worst day at

1051
00:54:24,080 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: doing something, likely that's their worst day on defense all

1052
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,839
Speaker 1: season long, and especially if we believe in Drake may

1053
00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: as an upper tier quarterback. Haines King might be an

1054
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 1: upper tier quarterback, has upper tier talent around him. I

1055
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,080
Speaker 1: think it's a letdown spot going to a tough Kyle Field.

1056
00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,920
Speaker 1: I think A and M comfortably beats them down. I'm

1057
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 1: with you. Let's go A and M and M minus

1058
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:47,359
Speaker 1: the number.

1059
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 2: Virginia at Illinois, Illinois favored by four and a half.

1060
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 2: I'm going Virginia. I figure if Illinois can't stop counter Basilak.

1061
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:58,440
Speaker 2: How are they stopping Brennan Armstrong?

1062
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,320
Speaker 1: So agree with you. That was my line of thinking.

1063
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,840
Speaker 1: It's who's on the road. I still don't love Virginia's defense,

1064
00:55:04,880 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: but I don't think Illinois and Tommy DeVito have the

1065
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:08,839
Speaker 1: offense to make them pay.

1066
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 2: Saturday seven thirty ESPN two ASU at Oklahoma State.

1067
00:55:14,719 --> 00:55:16,759
Speaker 1: This is my moment to shine, my man.

1068
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 2: I'm ready give me ASCU plus the points.

1069
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:21,959
Speaker 1: You called them your wild card?

1070
00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:22,439
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1071
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, What kind of a hypocrite would I be?

1072
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 2: Or how big of a hypocrite would I be if

1073
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 2: I abandoned ASU now after accidentally saying that they could

1074
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:35,839
Speaker 2: win the back twelve seuth So that's true. Arizona State

1075
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 2: plus the number here.

1076
00:55:37,719 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 1: That's my pick. I have Oklahoma State, bick. I have

1077
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: Oklahoma State by three touchdowns. They take a step forward

1078
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: on defense.

1079
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 2: Spencer Sanders eats Saturday eight pm, Eastern ACC Network, Boston

1080
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 2: College at Virginia Tech. I hope nobody watches this game.

1081
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 2: This seems like an awful game to watch, just an

1082
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:54,960
Speaker 2: awful viewing experience for both fan bases.

1083
00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:59,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talk about the removal of juice from Palo Alto.

1084
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 1: You lose to ODU, you get a little juice trickle

1085
00:56:03,400 --> 00:56:06,239
Speaker 1: in Blacksburg as well. That's a tough way to start

1086
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:12,800
Speaker 1: the year. I'm going Boston College because I'm worried about

1087
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:15,400
Speaker 1: Virginia Tech this year, all of a sudden more than

1088
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: I was. I'm going BC, not with any sort of

1089
00:56:18,719 --> 00:56:21,920
Speaker 1: BC lost to Rutgers. Yeah, but I'm ready for the

1090
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:25,560
Speaker 1: Rutgers resurgence. Baby, I'm not sure. I don't know.

1091
00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 2: I don't fully understand what happened in that game, the

1092
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 2: BC Rutgers game, not much.

1093
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: I know. I'm worried.

1094
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 2: I'm worried about Boston College. Frankly losing in that game.

1095
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,719
Speaker 1: I I think, Okay, here's my I'm going to go

1096
00:56:42,760 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: to Boston College. I have I have Virginia Tech here highlighted.

1097
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 2: But I'm going to go Boston College because I'm I'm

1098
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,920
Speaker 2: sticking to my guns here in a sense, because I've

1099
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,120
Speaker 2: been worried about them all year.

1100
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: You could you could understand why Boston College or Boston

1101
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: College players or coaches or some combination thereof can look

1102
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:07,480
Speaker 1: at the schedule and say we're opening with Rutgers whatever. Right, Yes,

1103
00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,319
Speaker 1: we'll be fine against Rutgers. You can understand how they're

1104
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 1: not fully engaged. If that's the reality, or they're just bad,

1105
00:57:14,440 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, But I think the idea of Boston

1106
00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: College getting their act together is something that we can

1107
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 1: imagine in picture in a more real way than Virginia

1108
00:57:26,400 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: Tech getting its act together in a more real way.

1109
00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 1: Does that make sense to you that you can see

1110
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: Phil Jerkovic in your head because you've seen him have

1111
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,240
Speaker 1: good games. You've seen Za Flowers, You've seen different elements

1112
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: of this BC team, the secondary make plays Virginia Tech.

1113
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: If it exists, we just haven't seen it, don't. We

1114
00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,760
Speaker 1: can't picture it in our very dumb brains. So I'm

1115
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:53,760
Speaker 1: going BC here ten fifteen ESPN. Oh boy hm, Baylor

1116
00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: at BYU, BYU favored by four points. You can believe that.

1117
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, them about two and a half something in there. Yeah, yeah,

1118
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 2: this is a top ten Baylor four point dog on

1119
00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,120
Speaker 2: the road. I'm on BYU, same, I'm on BYU. I

1120
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 2: like their offense. I think there are a lot of

1121
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 2: points here, and four isn't enough to scare me away.

1122
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 2: So a lot of points. Probably a game that's fun

1123
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 2: as hell later into the evening, But I'm going Koogs Man.

1124
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: I like the Cougs, the grime of the century, grimy

1125
00:58:25,760 --> 00:58:28,680
Speaker 1: back in the old stomping grounds for Baylor offense coordinator

1126
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 1: Jeff Grimes. Altitude. Yeah, you might say it's silly to

1127
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,640
Speaker 1: pick a game based on how high above sea level

1128
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 1: you are. I think Baylor's more talented team, especially, I

1129
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: think Baylor's defense gives them a better chance to win

1130
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: more games than where I think BYU's defense could be

1131
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:47,520
Speaker 1: at certain spots this year. Don't care BYU at home

1132
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: with an offense at altitude in a big game, I'm

1133
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,600
Speaker 1: going Cougars. You know I'm a believer, Tye. It may

1134
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 1: make no difference and maybe all in the players' heads.

1135
00:58:57,360 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: I'm a big believer in altitude.

1136
00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 2: Go to ten thirties CBS Sports Network. Only two more

1137
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 2: games here, I promise.

1138
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:04,920
Speaker 1: Now, I've got a few after this, continue though.

1139
00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 2: Oregon State at Fresno State. Here's lock of the week

1140
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 2: number of numero dos oh b Lock of the week.

1141
00:59:15,400 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 2: I'm going Fresno here, Lock number two of the week.

1142
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 2: Boise was a mess. Boise State a mess last week

1143
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 2: on offense, which definitely gave an assist to Oregon State

1144
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:28,960
Speaker 2: and a defense that I still don't trust. I think

1145
00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:31,120
Speaker 2: this week is a much different story with a much

1146
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:35,400
Speaker 2: better team in Fresno State, So it's a Pick'm don't

1147
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,040
Speaker 2: have to deal with the points spread at all. It's

1148
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:40,360
Speaker 2: in Fresno. I've got Fresno State, give me the Bulldogs.

1149
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this and maybe it doesn't change anything.

1150
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be like one hundred degrees in Fresno.

1151
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: It has been scorching, I mean all over the country,

1152
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: but scorching in California especially. Is there anything that you

1153
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: look for in a game that's gonna be especially high,

1154
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: like the better defense should win, or the better offense

1155
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: so the deeper team can weather a bunch of cramps

1156
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,240
Speaker 1: or something like that. Is there any difference to you

1157
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:09,280
Speaker 1: that weather can make. I mean, we've talked about monsoon games,

1158
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,920
Speaker 1: but in this case, just extreme heat. Is there any

1159
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: factor there that you're like, Oh, the team with the

1160
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:17,800
Speaker 1: better this should win in a scorch Are you are.

1161
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 2: You trying to say that Oregon State is not prepared

1162
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 2: for this kind of heat?

1163
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 1: Oh, I have no idea. I don't think anybody, any human,

1164
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:26,120
Speaker 1: is really prepared to play football in pads in one

1165
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 1: hundred and thirteen degree weather. If whatever the temperature is

1166
01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:31,480
Speaker 1: on the field for this one. What time is the

1167
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 1: kickoff in this one? By the way, ten thirty Eastern time,

1168
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 1: so seven thirty local, So it won't be you know,

1169
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:39,440
Speaker 1: I think the highest something like ninety eight ninety nine degrees,

1170
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 1: so won't be that likely. It's still gonna be hot.

1171
01:00:41,480 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 1: It's still gonna be hot. So I'm actually gonna go

1172
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 1: with Oregon State. I'm gonna go with Oregon State here

1173
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: because in terms of craftiness, I think that plays a

1174
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: role and I saw I like Jeff Tedford a lot,

1175
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 1: and I like it the offense, especially for Presno State,

1176
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: but pure craftiness, I go with Jonathan's Smith here and

1177
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: the bees more tested. Who did Fresno have last week?

1178
01:01:04,640 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: I don't know Fresno last week? Are you not memorizing

1179
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,240
Speaker 1: every single Mountain West schedule? They had the fight and

1180
01:01:10,320 --> 01:01:16,520
Speaker 1: some things of cal San Luis Obispo. Yeah, beautiful air.

1181
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 1: I would love told San Luis Obispo someday. But I

1182
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 1: think I think that the Beavers are better in a

1183
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 1: self scouting perspective right now because who they've already played,

1184
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, give me Oregon State.

1185
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 2: And finally eleven PM on FS one is a late

1186
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 2: freak game. Mississippi State at Arizona, Arizona State getting eleven

1187
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 2: points at home. Per one set of numbers, I saw

1188
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 2: Arizona should be a nineteen point home dog. So a

1189
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:51,600
Speaker 2: lot of the projection systems pretty high on Mississippi State

1190
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 2: or at least very down still on Arizona. I'm taking

1191
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 2: Arizona plus the plus the eleven can't fully explain it,

1192
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 2: but Arizona I think in the early going looked a

1193
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 2: lot better than people expected.

1194
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 1: Kind of San Diego State is bad.

1195
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 2: Kind of thank you, kind of feels like a weird

1196
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 2: game for Mississippi State, a really late one across the

1197
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,040
Speaker 2: country in Tucson.

1198
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I want those points at home.

1199
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 1: I hate going against what might be an okay Arizona

1200
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,480
Speaker 1: team at home at night into in the desert. Mississippi

1201
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 1: State covers on the road, they I mean, look, it

1202
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 1: depends on who they play, but last year they were

1203
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: very good on the road in terms of covering. There

1204
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: was something like four and one small sample sized Ayria.

1205
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 1: But San Diego State might be bad. It was Braxenbergmeister.

1206
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 1: San Diego State also true.

1207
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,960
Speaker 2: I don't know what Speaking of gumpy, he just shows

1208
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 2: up everywhere.

1209
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Let's be clear, he is taking too many hits on

1210
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 1: this show. I hope Braxmburmeister has a happy, healthy life. Sure,

1211
01:02:52,680 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: I hope he's a wonderful place. Don't wish any ill

1212
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 1: on him. But also, San Diego State might be a

1213
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 1: six and six team this year. That's a reality. So

1214
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Mississippi State here. I'm gonna go with talent.

1215
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: They comfortably beat that. They beat Memphis last week. Yes,

1216
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: they covered that spread. I just think it's it's another

1217
01:03:13,160 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: level that Jaden Delora and this Arizona offense are gonna

1218
01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:18,120
Speaker 1: have to deal with, and I don't think they have.

1219
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 1: If Plan A isn't working, I don't think Plan B

1220
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: and C are gonna get it done against Mississippi State.

1221
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 1: And I just don't think that that is an offense

1222
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 1: that's going to stress you out constantly. And I just

1223
01:03:29,520 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 1: don't think they have the bodies on defense to deal

1224
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:33,240
Speaker 1: with it. I have a Mississippi State here winning the

1225
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: game thirty eight seven or thirty eight to fourteen.

1226
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 2: But they got your guy, t MA mac Arizona's got

1227
01:03:38,920 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 2: our guy.

1228
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:43,280
Speaker 1: Tea here you, I hear you. I just it's one

1229
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,240
Speaker 1: of those things. Week one to week two we talk

1230
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 1: about overreacting. Right, So, if Arizona loses to San Diego,

1231
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 1: if Arizona barely beat San Diego State, what does his

1232
01:03:53,120 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 1: line look like like? There's so little that's known about

1233
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:58,960
Speaker 1: these teams, and you yourself just said they should be

1234
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: plus eighteen nineteen correct, and it's plus eleven correct. This

1235
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: is the opportunity. This is the opportunity because if there's

1236
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 1: anything that is overinflated in this game, it's probably Arizona

1237
01:04:09,640 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: being pretty good. Right, Wow, no love for the Cats.

1238
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: I like Arizona, good deal. But let's not go crazy.

1239
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: Let's not go wild. That's all I got, Dan. We

1240
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: went through a lot of action there in a very

1241
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:28,280
Speaker 1: compressed period of time. Oh, I have a tablet talking

1242
01:04:28,360 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: to me. That's just talking. What's it saying? Sorry? I

1243
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 1: couldn't connect to your Wi Fi network. I don't even

1244
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: know I had this tablet. I do want to mention

1245
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: because you mentioned at the top of the show Wake

1246
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:42,880
Speaker 1: minus thirteen at Vandy two and oh Andy, yep, yeah,

1247
01:04:43,200 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have two good quarterbacks. I don't know. I

1248
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 1: don't have a read in that game. I guess it

1249
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 1: depends on who's playing quarterback. But if it is Sam Hartman, yeah,

1250
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:52,480
Speaker 1: I like, wake there, Duke, Northwestern down the street. Northwestern

1251
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: is favored by ten. Take the Cats. Take the Cats.

1252
01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:58,160
Speaker 1: Give me Duke now.

1253
01:04:58,240 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 2: Because if there's a team no, no, no, no, that's overinflated, right,

1254
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:03,080
Speaker 2: take the Cats.

1255
01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: Northwestern beating Nebraska might not base home for us OF

1256
01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 1: in four weeks. Right, air Force minus seventeen and a

1257
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,960
Speaker 1: half against Colorado hosting Colorado. I don't have a pick

1258
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,080
Speaker 1: in that game. I just like, whooh, what a world

1259
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: in which we live where that's like, oh, that spread

1260
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: makes sense? And then you didn't mention it because you

1261
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 1: didn't even know this damn game was happening. Nebraska, Georgia Southern,

1262
01:05:23,960 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 1: Clay Helton the Eagles, Kyle Van Trees taking on Nebraska

1263
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 1: as twenty four, twenty three and a half point Dogs,

1264
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:37,479
Speaker 1: Give me George Southern. Come on, if there's any team

1265
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 1: that's overinflated in this game, because of I mean not

1266
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 1: Earli and I guess it would be underinflated. Also, drop

1267
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: some big stinky I don't I don't know why we

1268
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 1: do drum and fight for this. We might need a

1269
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 1: good song, but drop something.

1270
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,520
Speaker 2: It is the FCS Lightning Round this year, a nice

1271
01:05:56,560 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 2: little combination of Patriot League with other FCS action. Saturday,

1272
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:06,440
Speaker 2: one pm, We've got something called post University on the

1273
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 2: Road at stone Hill, which I pulled this one out

1274
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:16,760
Speaker 2: because they play it in Northeaston Easton, not where Lafayette's from,

1275
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 2: Northeastern Massachusetts.

1276
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 1: Dan, who you got? Both of these schools sound made up?

1277
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,360
Speaker 1: One might exist in the back of an orange Julius.

1278
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,520
Speaker 1: I guess stone Hill. You don't just walk into northeastern

1279
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:30,959
Speaker 1: mass and walk away with a whimb.

1280
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 2: Nobody walks into northeastern mass not eastern north eastern northeast

1281
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,520
Speaker 2: ten excuse me, it could be Northeastern. I don't know

1282
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 2: stone Hill here as well. Let's go to Fordham at Monmouth.

1283
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: Mont MIU Monmouth? Who you got Monmouth? I'm one rams here,

1284
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: New York. Gotta go Riam on the road.

1285
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 2: Speaking of Easton, Lafayette at Temple, Temple got molly wopped

1286
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 2: in their first game against Duke, got shut out.

1287
01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:01,840
Speaker 1: Who did Lafayette be? I don't know. You're acting like

1288
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:03,440
Speaker 1: I know what these teams have done I have no

1289
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: idea Lafayette. Oh that's basketball, Lafayette football. I'm almost positive

1290
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: they shut out somebody last week. I got an email

1291
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 1: from my dad. They beat Sacred Heart six to nothing.

1292
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: The fcs IOWA Quafayette Leopards. Yeah, gimme Lafyette. Of course,

1293
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,880
Speaker 1: absolutely give me Lafayette. Temple didn't score a point last week?

1294
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 1: Did they no against Duke thirty to nothing? Yeah, gimme Lafayette.

1295
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: Why not? That would be a black guy for Temple. Okay,

1296
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:32,080
Speaker 1: at five pm?

1297
01:07:32,520 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 2: How about this game, Dan, I'm stopping the music.

Speaker 2: Put it back on Delaware State at Delaware. Dan, we

1301
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 2: had folks in the discord wondering if there was football

1302
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:51,840
Speaker 2: being played in the great state of Delaware. We've got

1303

Speaker 2: Delaware State squaring off against the Blue Hens.

1305
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 1: Gott to go Blue Hens?

1306
01:07:58,200 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 2: Right?

1307
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 1: Did they not just beat the United States Navy last week?

1308
01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,720
Speaker 1: Am I mistaken in saying that Delaware the Blue Hens

1309
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 1: the Flaccos beat the United States Navy? Yeah?

1310
01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 2: Delaware, that's correct and last, but certainly not least Tarleton,

1311
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:16,920
Speaker 2: something called Tarleton on.

1312
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,800
Speaker 1: The road at TCU. We get TCU in.

1313

01:11:07,760 --> 01:11:10,839
Speaker 1: You see the mom or whoever of the starting quarterback

1365
01:11:10,880 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: in the crowd and they're wearing a customized jersey that

1366
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:18,519
Speaker 1: says like Steven's mom, like on the back it's his number,

1367
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:21,160
Speaker 1: but it says Stevens mom and a Mama H jersey.

1368
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 1: I don't want a Mama H jersey. What I want

1369
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 1: is one of the most extreme versions of that. I

1370
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:30,240
Speaker 1: want her to show up with an airbrushed shirt of

1371
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 1: your face that says my baby boy right across the

1372
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 1: top and it's just like the three wolf Moon shirt. Yes,

1373
01:11:39,960 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 1: I want because you're obviously her pride and joy I

1374
01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 1: want her to wear her pride. My baby boy big.

1375
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 1: Maybe it's like your third grade school picture or something

1376
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: with your big old coke bottled glasses. That's what I

1377
01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 1: want from mama. H I know I won't get it,

1378
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:57,760
Speaker 1: but that's what I want. That's my dream.
