1
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: All right, welcome man, Late kick is live. It is

2
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: Sunday night, September nineteenth, year of Our Lord, twenty twenty one.

3
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: Where jam packed, fresh and off the plane from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,

4
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: a jam packed Beaver Stadium.

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:24,639
Speaker 1: Last night we were on hand. We were on the

6
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:25,280
Speaker 1: field to.

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 2: Watch penn State takedown Auburn. We will go through that

8
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: in parade detail tonight. We've also got Alabama over Florida

9
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 2: narrowly to talk about.

10
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: But yes, we're jam packed.

11
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: And you know, I couldn't help but think as I

12
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,639
Speaker 2: was looking at the scores come in yet again over

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: the weekend, and as I was trying to watch as

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: many games as I could this morning, I couldn't help

15
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: but take myself back to July. You remember July in August,

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: when we refused to take a vacation and everyone else

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: exercised their.

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: Constitutional right to take an off season.

19
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: And while they were at the beach, we were busy

20
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: here toiling away, telling you, hey, friends on the horizon,

21
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 2: we have something coming. It's not just a football season,

22
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: it's a renaissance season.

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: What do we mean.

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 2: We think there's gonna be a lot more balance at

25
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,559
Speaker 2: the top of the sport. We think the Redwoods aren't

26
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 2: quite gonna tower above the rest of the canopy like

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 2: they normally do. And we think there's gonna be vulnerability

28
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 2: even among Tier one of this year's college football field.

29
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 2: And that all translates to several more teams are gonna

30
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: be in it for conference championship races, for playoff races,

31
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: even though we won't talk about it until after September.

32
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: And here we are. We got several of those contenders,

33
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 2: several of those immortals already with one loss and multiple

34
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: deans on their resume. We got upsets happening all over

35
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: the place. We got narrow escapes happening, and we're gonna

36
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: talk about it all tonight. I have got like seventeen

37
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 2: games we're gonna touch on in some shape, form or fashion.

38
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: We've also got to, in just a matter of moments,

39
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: reveal where we're headed for the Week four destination of

40
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: the Renaissance Tour. What a stop Week three was. I

41
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: cannot wait to tell you guys and show you in

42
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 2: a lot of cases, what it was like last night

43
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: at Penn statebelieve unforgettable atmosphere. A lot of you watched

44
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: on TV. It probably came through loud and clear. The

45
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: Rama Noodle Express crushed it, just crushed it yesterday and

46
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: as good as five and two was those of you

47
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 2: who tuned in to the super Secret but not so

48
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: secret anymore cause management texted me about it Friday night Lines, Instagram,

49
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: live Chat. It did a lot better than five and two.

50
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: I want to say, over the last two weeks, the

51
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: leans we've given out there have gone sixteen and three.

52
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: That's not a typo, although we may be investigated before

53
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: too long. Make sure you're checking that out and it's

54
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 2: available on replay the next morning, so if you missed

55
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: it on Friday night, you can watch it Saturday. Anyway,

56
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: I'm about to tell you we already released today before

57
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 2: the show is on air. We're live right now. I've

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: already put out four best bets.

59
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: For this week. There were some games that we had

60
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: to move on earlier this afternoon.

61
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: If you were following on Twitter and Instagram, you got

62
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: them at late Kick Josh. If not, some of the

63
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: numbers are still there, I'm going to give them to

64
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: you before the end of the show.

65
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: Make sure you're following with that in mind. Let's take

66
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: care of.

67
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: Two quick items of interest for us, and then we're

68
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 2: going to dive into rapid reaction because, as I said,

69
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: we got a number of games to get to.

70
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: The Renaissance Tour rolls on.

71
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 2: We have gone to in order, Charlotte, North Carolina for

72
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: Georgia Clemson, met a lot of you there. Then we

73
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 2: went to Ames, Iowa two weeks ago for Iowa. Iowa

74
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 2: State took it to another level this past weekend. I'm

75
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: going to tell you all about it later in the

76
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: show at Penn State, dozens and dozens and dozens of

77
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: you came up everywhere from staffers on teams, to fans,

78
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: to cheerleaders to band members and everywhere in between, and

79
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 2: you said, hey, let's take pictures, let's chat, come over

80
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: to our tailgate. That's what the Renaissance Tour is all about.

81
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 2: Where are we headed though, for our next stop. Well,

82
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: when we were mapping out week four at the beginning

83
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: of the season, and by we, I mean Director Colin

84
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: and I right out here in the bomb Shelter office

85
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 2: as we call it, we were looking at this week

86
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 2: and I thought, for all the world, Colin, I'm headed

87
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: to Chicago, man, look at this Notre Dame in Wisconsin.

88
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: In Chicago. Plus it's a noon caick, which.

89
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 2: Means you can fly up there, take the train to

90
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: Soldier Field, take the train back, and be in Nashville

91
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: that night. But friends, plans have changed, and so without

92
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: further ado or further to do, depending on who you are,

93
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: let's take a look at where we're headed and where

94
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: we're taking the Renaissance Tour for week four, which I

95
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: mislabeled Week five earlier. I would have loved to have

96
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 2: gone to Chicago, but we got to go to Dallas.

97
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 2: And we got to go to Dallas because that's where

98
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 2: Arkansas is a four to four and a half point

99
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 2: dog against.

100
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: Texas A and M.

101
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: It's a game that virtually everyone who's looked at that

102
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: line so far has said Arkansas is an underdog.

103
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: Okay, then oink oink, Yeah.

104
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: I mean a lot of people are loving Arkansas outright

105
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: in this one director Colin asked me who I like.

106
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: I said, Colin, you got to watch the Tuesday show Man.

107
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 2: He said, yeah, I'm gonna be here. I kind of

108
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 2: have to be here. And I said that's a good point, Colin.

109
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 2: We're gonna be in Dallas Saturday. This is the three

110
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: thirty Eastern Game on CBS, so it's hey, it's all

111
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 2: in the family. Company on company, headed out there, looking

112
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 2: forward to this very much, looking forward to this hat

113
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 2: and gotten to see Arkansas or Texas, A and M

114
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 2: in person this year.

115
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 1: So we're going to change that.

116
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: And with that in mind, you know the drill, and

117
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 2: the drill is to be honest. I don't know where

118
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: game Day is going to be this week, but I

119
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: know where SEC Nation and Game Day are every week.

120
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: There's somewhere out there. And we put out the challenge

121
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: two weeks ago. If you guys get us national recognition,

122
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: we are giving you something free. I'm ready this week

123
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: to announce what that free thing is. So give me

124
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 2: one more show, probably on that, but we cannot wait

125
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: one more show to let you know. We had not one,

126
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 2: not two, but three new heroes soldiers of the show

127
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: if you will, emerged this past weekend. I want to

128
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: say we had two of them on SEC Nation. We

129
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: had one of them on College Game Day. As is

130
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: usually the case, I'm not able.

131
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: To watch live.

132
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: So the Iejosh starts to blow up, and a lot

133
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 2: of you were saying, hey, are you watching?

134
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: Are you watching? Look at this and I start to

135
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: get screenshots. So here we are.

136
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: All three heroes have been identified, so I'm gonna let

137
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: you know who they are. I think we have pictures

138
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: of them because they were nice enough to send us

139
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 2: pictures of themselves.

140
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: So Cameron Maloney got his.

141
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: Very very beautiful poster there on sec Nation. Now this

142
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 2: I believe is Ian Brannon, that maybe Logan Warren.

143
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: In some shape form or fashion. All three of you

144
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: got our imagery and got our logos right there behind

145
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: Herb Street and right there behind Who else did we have?

146
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 2: We had a number of them. Yeah, I'm looking at

147
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: it right now. Oh great job, guys.

148
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: Great job.

149
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna tell you what we're gonna send, because

150
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 2: we're sending all of you the same thing, and anyone

151
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 2: in the future who pulls this off, we're sending the

152
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: same thing.

153
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: You are going to love it.

154
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 2: The reason I don't want to tell you is cause

155
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 2: the words that come out of my mouth will not

156
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: accurately describe the thing we're going to send you. You

157
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: need to see it, but you'll love it and it

158
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: will quickly become something that is unique to this show.

159
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: So great job to again, Cameron Maloney, Logan Warren Ian Brannon.

160
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 2: Great work carrying the banner quite literally for the show

161
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: out there in front of the world. Okay, let's go,

162
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: because man, we got so much to react to, and

163
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to start in Gainesville, Florida. Alabama narrowly gets

164
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: past the Gators thirty one to twenty nine in a

165
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: very good, if not classic, reminder about three different things

166
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,560
Speaker 2: that are a reality in this sport. Number one, Nick

167
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: Saban warned you, as we said last week leading up

168
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 2: to this game, he warned you for a couple of

169
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 2: weeks his team was not invincible.

170
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: His team had vulnerability, but no one wanted to hear it.

171
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: Why cause you beat a top twenty Miami team convincingly. Well, A,

172
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: how's that Miami team looking right now? And B who

173
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: cares if they did? That's one game. There may be.

174
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: Weaknesses you have that that team wasn't uniquely equipped to

175
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: expose that maybe down the road someone can. Well, Florida

176
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 2: got a pretty good bite out of Alabama yesterday, but

177
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 2: Alabama won and that's what's most important.

178
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: So that's the first thing.

179
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,679
Speaker 2: The second thing is the sport never sits still, which

180
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 2: is something we always talk about towards the end of

181
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: the year on this show, as we go into what

182
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: some would call the off season, and everyone just assumes

183
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 2: you're going to have a carryover and all your returning

184
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: starters are gonna get fifteen percent better and what you

185
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: were at the end of last year, you're just going

186
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 2: to pick up and keep rolling with the beginning of

187
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 2: next year. And that assumes a falsehood, and that is

188
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: the rest of the sport. It's just gonna hit pause

189
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: on themselves and then they're going to hit play the

190
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 2: next year too, and so the sport just carries on

191
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 2: as it always was.

192
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: That's never the case, even week to week. The sport

193
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: doesn't sit still.

194
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 2: The other team's allowed to try, It's what I'm telling you,

195
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: and they're allowed to adjust.

196
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: You know, Florida got down twenty one to three in

197
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 1: this game, and all of a sudden, Dan Mullen said.

198
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 2: Uh, that's not working, that's not option OPTI Hey, let's

199
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 2: run the option. And they ran the option over and

200
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 2: over and over again. And I don't know if Bama

201
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: was ill equipped for it. I don't know if they

202
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: were unprepared for it. I find that hard to believe.

203
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: With this being a Nick Saban coach team, but they

204
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 2: had some success. So anyway, that's the second point, and

205
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 2: the third point is these things I'm holding here. If

206
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: you're listening on the pod, I think you know what

207
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 2: that is. It's a piece of paper. Unfortunately, games aren't

208
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: played on them, and you have to go out there

209
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: and humans actually have to hit each other, and they

210
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: have to execute at a high level with noise decibels

211
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: through the roof and a lot of young guys on

212
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: the road who have never played there before, and so

213
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: it doesn't always workout as nice and neat as it

214
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: does on your local gaming console. Sometimes things don't go

215
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 2: according to what that piece of paper says. Thus the

216
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 2: beauty of college football. I know you watched this game yesterday,

217
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: you've got your thoughts. I will tell you I had

218
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 2: one of the most unique vantage points ever. I got

219
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: into Beaver Stadium yesterday before they opened the gates. So

220
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: I take this laptop right here that you're watching if

221
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: you're stealing on the YouTube channel, and I just perched

222
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 2: myself up in someone's seat, one of one hundred and

223
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: ten thousand some odd people in there last night, and

224
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: I was just watching the games, and I was watching

225
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 2: Bama they're in an empty stadium, and they were up

226
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: twenty one three.

227
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: When I tuned in.

228
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 2: I said, here we go, yawn, and then all of

229
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: a sudden it started and here comes Florida. This had

230
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: strong Clemson twenty sixteen vibes to me for Alabama, because

231
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 2: that's about the last time that I remember this feeling,

232
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 2: the feeling of they're up, but all of a sudden,

233
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: now here comes a drip drip, and it becomes a

234
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: steady flow, and it becomes a flood, and it just

235
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: doesn't feel like you can stop it. Nick Saban, I

236
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: think after that game when they played Clemson in twenty sixteen,

237
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 2: he said, you know, when we got big guys on

238
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 2: the field, once they're gassed, you don't get him back.

239
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: You don't get him back until next week. Now, dB,

240
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 2: if he's tired, you can go pump some gatorade into

241
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 2: him and pop him back on the field. He's good

242
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: to go five minutes later. Big guys, once they're out

243
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 2: of gas, they're tank empty. That kind of started to

244
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: happen yesterday. But see, here's the downside. I guess you

245
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,679
Speaker 2: can call it downside. When you go back and you

246
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 2: look at that twenty sixteen game where Obama ended up

247
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 2: losing the Clemson I think they were on the field

248
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: like one hundred plays. It was right out one hundred

249
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: plays defensively that Alabama had to defend. Florida ran seventy

250
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: plays yesterday. It was hot, it was muggy, I get

251
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 2: all that. But yeah, Bama, they were a little gassed

252
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: in the second half. Credit Florida, especially being down early.

253
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 2: Normally you would think you have to throw yourself back

254
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: into a game. Well that's not exactly the approach that

255
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 2: Florida took. Now, they didn't panic. Again, to the credit

256
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 2: of Dan Mullen and that team, they didn't panic. But

257
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 2: when you get out rushed nearly three to one ratio,

258
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 2: that's the kind of stuff that can happen.

259
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: Your big guys can get kind of tired.

260
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,319
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you this, I'm not going to focus

261
00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 2: on it a lot, but there were some plays for

262
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: Alabama at the linebacker position. There were some plays in

263
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 2: that secondary. Nick Saban didn't really specifically mention it in

264
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,040
Speaker 2: his postgame presser, but they watched that film today.

265
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: There may be some personnel decisions they have to make.

266
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: A lot of you played football some more of you

267
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 2: didn't play football. Maybe you didn't play because you didn't

268
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 2: like the concept of physicality, you didn't like contact.

269
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: Well, that's all well and good. That's your prerogative.

270
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 2: But if you choose to play the game, especially if

271
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 2: they end up giving you a scholarship, you don't get

272
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: the option of turning down contact. And Alabama had some

273
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 2: guys do that yesterday, which is about as blunt as

274
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 2: I can put it. So it would not surprise me

275
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: if you see some rotational decisions made and changed up

276
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,960
Speaker 2: for Alabama's defense in the coming couple of weeks.

277
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 1: So here's what I saw yesterday.

278
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 2: Both sides of the Dan Mullen coin ended up landing

279
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,560
Speaker 2: heads up at one point or another in this game.

280
00:11:58,800 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: You had the.

281
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: Side where Dan Mullen may have partially checked out last year.

282
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 2: That's our biggest fear, and maybe he has not recruited

283
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: at a level where he can replenish the talent drain

284
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: that he had to the draft.

285
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: And that was how you felt.

286
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: I went to the Swamp twenty four to seven message board,

287
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: just like a lot of you did when they were

288
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: down twenty one to three.

289
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: I saw what you guys were saying. But then you

290
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: flip the.

291
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 2: Coin over and you got the Dan Mullen as a

292
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: brilliant tactician, a brilliant x's and o's guy. You just

293
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 2: get him in the same ballpark and on Saturday he'll

294
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: out scheme you.

295
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: And this roster is ready to go to war for

296
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: Dan Mullen.

297
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: No one inside this locker room's given up on him,

298
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 2: even if the outside world has.

299
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: And there that was too. You had both sides of

300
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: the Dan Mullen coin on display and ended up being

301
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: a close loss, and you kind of kick yourself and

302
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: you say, man, if we wouldn't have gotten down early,

303
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: But then you also ask had they not gotten down early,

304
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: would they have flipped the switch like they did. So

305
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: it was really interesting to watch.

306
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 2: There's positive that you can take away from that, but

307
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: it's a loss too, you know.

308
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: It's it's several years in. This is not a first

309
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:02,559
Speaker 1: year's staff.

310
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 2: So I've got high expectation for Florida, so I may

311
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: look at this a little bit different. I know some

312
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: folks out there wanted to rub them on the cheek

313
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 2: and say.

314
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: Good for you.

315
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 2: Oh, you've nearly a two touchdown underdog and you nearly

316
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 2: won this game. It was a very impressive showing, but

317
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 2: Florida lost the game too, And so it all depends

318
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 2: on what your perspective is here, and it can be

319
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: a very good thing. It's what I'm saying for Florida.

320
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be negative, although many of you

321
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 2: think I am. When you ask, as so many of

322
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 2: you did in my inbox, what does this mean for

323
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: Florida moving forward?

324
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: You'll find out this week.

325
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: You don't find out last week, because really all this

326
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: comes to as a loss for you in the SEC

327
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 2: standings if you don't do anything else with it.

328
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: But they played Tennessee. Do the Florida Gators this week?

329
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 2: So if they run it up on Tennessee, if they

330
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: look like they springboard out of this close lost to Alabama,

331
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 2: and then there's a residue and there's a carryover impact

332
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: and they all of a sudden look like they're on

333
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: a different kind of role, then you'll know what this

334
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: narrow loss.

335
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: Meant for them.

336
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 2: But we also know history tells us something else, and

337
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 2: that's why this Florida team still has its future to

338
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 2: define for itself. What history also tells us is sometimes

339
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: that close loss, that narrow defeat is as close as

340
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: some teams ever get to doing anything special because they

341
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 2: let it define them the rest of the way. So,

342
00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 2: if you want to know how to define this Florida team,

343
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 2: who was it, Natasha Bettingfield? The rest is still unwritten, Colin,

344
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 2: don't you love that song? It's still unwritten for Florida.

345
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: They still got a lot to prove. But I think

346
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 2: they did prove a lot in this game. So I'm

347
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 2: kind of riding the fence there, I feel both ways.

348
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 2: I will tell you this, though, there's a thing about

349
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: Florida you need to understand. We've observed this enough to

350
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 2: where I feel comfortable saying this. Florida does not get

351
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 2: shook at the concept of playing Alabama like some teams do.

352
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: Now.

353
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: I know no one out there wants to feel like

354
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 2: their favorite team gets mentally rattled at the mere idea

355
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: of playing Bama. But the fact of the matter is

356
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 2: a lot of your favorite teams get rattled mentally at

357
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 2: the mere concept to play in Alabama. I've been on

358
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 2: the road with that team. I've watched them come into

359
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: many a building, and I have watched your teams how

360
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: they operate normally and then how differently It's subtle, but

361
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: how differently they operate when Bama comes in.

362
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: Florida's not like that. It is business as usual.

363
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 2: You can feel a different vibe in the air, but

364
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: they handle their business the way they're supposed to handle

365
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 2: their business. Dan Mullen, the dude's never beaten Bama as

366
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: a head coach, but yet he goes toe to toe

367
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 2: with him about as well as anyone on average in

368
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: the sport. He's just not had the roster. That's what

369
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 2: it really comes down to with Florida. Yesterday, they get

370
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: to wear They're very close. You know, they need one

371
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: or two plays. Alabama's just got better players, you know,

372
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: if you want to spell out recruiting, that's where recruiting

373
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 2: makes the difference. But Florida doesn't get shook at the

374
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: concept playing Alabama and a lot of other programs do.

375
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 2: Like I've watched Bama come into buildings before and you

376
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: can see some of the staffers for the other team.

377
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 2: You know, they'll start paying attention to Bama warm up.

378
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: You'll start watching the players on the other team. They

379
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 2: will actually adjust their pregame routine cause they're notice in Alabama.

380
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: Stuff happens.

381
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 2: I know, you don't see it on TV because it's

382
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: before they go live on broadcasts that stuff happens. Florida's

383
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: not like that. They know who they're playing. They got

384
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: respect form, but they don't let it rattle them. And

385
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 2: that's why you see them last year in the SEC

386
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 2: title game. They ended up playing Bama about as close

387
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: as anyone did, In fact, as close as anyone did

388
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: for all we know. You just saw Alabama get played

389
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: as close as anyone to play them. This year, we

390
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: don't know how the rest of the season's gonna play out.

391
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: They did not have Richardson at all yesterday. As it

392
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 2: turns out. That's something that a lot of folks, when

393
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: you were looking at this matchup a couple of weeks

394
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 2: down the road, thought it was gonna be a fundamental

395
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: puzzle piece to maybe Florida being able to push them,

396
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: and ended up.

397
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: Richardson couldn't even play.

398
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: It was an emergency the only situation, Dan Mullen said postgame.

399
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 2: So you wonder if they were to, let's say, face

400
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 2: off again in some hypothetical SEC title game, how different

401
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 2: does that feel. That's one thing to keep in mind.

402
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 2: But I can be critical of Alabama now I know

403
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 2: a lot of my Bama buddies have been critical of yesterday,

404
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: partly because y' all forgotten how to win. But it's

405
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: okay to be critical. I mean, you can be critical

406
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 2: in a win. I Confrontsance. I can look at Bama

407
00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: and I can say there is not a star receiver

408
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 2: on that team right now. There are young guys that

409
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 2: have that potential, but they're not there right now. They

410
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: struggle to stop the run. Let me scratch it. They

411
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 2: struggle to stop the option. It's a lot more specific

412
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 2: than just they can't stop someone running a football. They

413
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: didn't adjust twin Florida adjusted, and so you know, that's

414
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: something that coaching staff's got to look at because at

415
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 2: some point it could be an execution issue or it

416
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 2: could be a schematic issue.

417
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 1: And that's above my pay grade.

418
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 2: They're figuring that out, probably on a grease board somewhere

419
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 2: as we speak. But as I said, the most disappointing

420
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: takeaway for me in regards to Alabama was not that.

421
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 1: They got pushed. That happens.

422
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 2: That's football, when you get everyone's best shot and you

423
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 2: go into a place which I still think people underappreciate

424
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 2: how hard it is to go into those kinds of places.

425
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,080
Speaker 2: I used to underappreciate it until I got to go

426
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 2: and experience all this stuff. And I'm telling you it's hard.

427
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: Everything about going on the road in college is hard.

428
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 2: And they overcame a lot of stuff yesterday. But the

429
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: most disappointing aspect for me with Alabama was they had

430
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 2: linebackers and they had some defensive backs whose play was

431
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: not up to the standard that it should be to

432
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 2: be on the field for Alabama in a big game.

433
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 2: And I gotta believe that's going to be addressed. So

434
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: we'll see about that. But I just I don't know.

435
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 2: I think I think Bama fans one of the best

436
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 2: things about having Nick Saban as your head coach is

437
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 2: you get to enjoy an.

438
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: Unprecedented run of success.

439
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: But one of the worst things is you totally forget

440
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 2: how valuable winning is. And I got a lot of

441
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 2: buddies blown up the eye Josh last twenty four hours

442
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 2: who want to sit there and complain and not understand

443
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: how hard it is to even do what Bama just did.

444
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: If Florida put that level of effort into facing any

445
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,960
Speaker 2: other team in America yesterday, it is my belief the

446
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: University of Florida would have been one to oh yesterday

447
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 2: had they all had to come into the swamp, had

448
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: they all faced that level of pushback from Florida, I

449
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 2: believe everyone else in the country would have gone.

450
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 1: Oh to one yesterday.

451
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 2: Make it the same way you took that win against

452
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 2: Ole Miss last year, the same way you took that

453
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 2: fourteen to thirteen wing It's Arkansas a few years ago.

454
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 1: Take it, be happy with it.

455
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: And if you still don't really get it, and you're

456
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 2: of any age, why don't you channel late eighties version

457
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: of yourself or early two thousands version of yourself and

458
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 2: tell yourself, hey self, we're gonna go to Florida.

459
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: Now we're gonna win. But it's not it's gonna suck.

460
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,119
Speaker 2: I mean, we don't even know if we're gonna be

461
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 2: able to repeat as national champs this year. What is

462
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,640
Speaker 2: yourself from back in the day, say he just slapped you.

463
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,040
Speaker 2: Your own self just slapped you. Now figure out how

464
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 2: that works. So Alabama wins, they move on Florida. It

465
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 2: will all be determined in the future as to the

466
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 2: value of what happened yesterday. I as I have mentioned

467
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 2: and will continue to mention in the very next segment

468
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 2: We're Gonna do.

469
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Was on the road yesterday and.

470
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 2: I wish, as usual that I could just wear goggles

471
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 2: where you could see my vantage point. The tailgate scene

472
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: at Penn State was incredible. I am told the tailgate

473
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: scene was something to behold in Gainesville and again by

474
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 2: the dozens and dozens we got screenshots. If you guys

475
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,160
Speaker 2: buy an Academy Sports and Outdoor gear, and I've been

476
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: sending them every single time you guys tag me, I'm

477
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,920
Speaker 2: sending it right off to them, and I am bombarding

478
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 2: them because you know what one thing they never get

479
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 2: tired of seeing is their product is fly off the shelves,

480
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,400
Speaker 2: and that's what's happening with our audience.

481
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: So man, it was a beautiful scene yesterday.

482
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 2: And whatever you needed, or whatever you're gonna need when

483
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 2: the weather starts turn a little bit more and you're

484
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: more apt to be.

485
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: Out there in that tailgate scene or elsewhere, whatever you need,

486
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: they got it at Academy Sports and Outdoors, the official

487
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: outdoor sporting good supplier of the Big twelve and the

488
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 1: SEC and Lake Kick. And if you can't get to

489
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: a store or.

490
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 2: You just don't feel like leaving or if it's last minute,

491
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: Academy dot com is your hookup. And again I ask you,

492
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 2: if slash win you make a purchase, I don't care

493
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 2: if it's a grill or a keychain. Tag me in it,

494
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: screenshot it, tag let me see it because I love it,

495
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 2: because it makes me feel good, because it makes it

496
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: feel like we're doing something substantial here. So Academy dot Com,

497
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: Academy Sports and Outdoors really really love the partnership we

498
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: have with them. Let me clap because we have an experience,

499
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 2: not just a game, but an experience to talk about here.

500
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: Penn State beats Auburn last night, twenty eight to twenty.

501
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 2: You guys who have watched the show any length of

502
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: time know that in the spring months, I'm part of

503
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 2: a storm chasing team.

504
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: Love it.

505
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,040
Speaker 2: It is equally as great a passion of mine as

506
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: college football is.

507
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: And so I have been blessed enough. As I define it.

508
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 2: You may define it as insanity, but I've been blessed

509
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 2: enough to see tornadoes in person before, and it's the

510
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 2: most majestic, awesome, awe inspiring, active nature, active god that

511
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 2: you could experience.

512
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 1: Man can't create that. Man can't duplicate that.

513
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: But as far as man made spectacle goes, I've never

514
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 2: witnessed anything comparable to what I was a part of

515
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: last night, and what a lot of you were a

516
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:07,400
Speaker 2: part of, either in person or watching on TV last night,

517
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:10,959
Speaker 2: one hundred and ten thousand strong, the white out at

518
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 2: Happy Valley, Penn State beat Auburn, and even some of

519
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: the Auburn folks I talked with privately before and afterwards said, look,

520
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 2: we would have loved to have come up here and

521
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: gotten a w but this is something thirty years from

522
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 2: now we'll be talking about. We'll be talking about a

523
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: narrow loss, but we'll be talking about the experience. And

524
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 2: who knows what we go on to do, but we'll

525
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 2: be talking about the experience. I would encourage you, if

526
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 2: you have opportunities to do this in the future, if

527
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: you have opportunities, if you can even remotely swing it financially,

528
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: when they do this again, maybe later this year gains Michigan,

529
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 2: but certainly any given year when they do that, go,

530
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: I don't care if you don't root for Penn State.

531
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 2: I don't care if you're totally agnostic to the Big

532
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: ten in general. Go make it a point make it

533
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 2: bucket list destination priority A. Make sure you get to

534
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 2: a white out Penn State. There's nothing like it in

535
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 2: college football. I've been to all the big venues, telling you,

536
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: I've been everywhere at every time of day. Never experienced

537
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: anything like that. Last night, I was driving back to

538
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,159
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh in the middle of the night and my ears

539
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 2: wrung the whole way there. In the best of ways,

540
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 2: the crowd synergy is something that is so incredible to behold.

541
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: Crowd synergy is an underrated thing because.

542
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 2: You can be at a place where there are a

543
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 2: lot of people, but the synergy is something different. Because

544
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: if you were in a place where it's ninety thousand

545
00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 2: folks but they're acting as ninety thousand individuals, it is

546
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 2: completely a different thing than one hundred and ten thousand

547
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: folks acting in unison, yelling in unison almost well not almost.

548
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 2: It is choreographed in nature. This is some of the

549
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 2: footage I shot last night. If you're watching on YouTube,

550
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: just kind of walked out there on the field, no

551
00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:50,880
Speaker 2: big deal, unbelievable, kind of like a WWF pay per view.

552
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 1: Back in the day, I used to watch those things and.

553
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 2: Say, boy, I can't imagine what that must be like

554
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 2: in real life.

555
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: Well, this was it.

556
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 2: This was like seeing WrestleMania, but they played a football

557
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 2: game instead. You know, WrestleMania and Beaver Stadium wouldn't be

558
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: a bad idea, Colin, Let's get me their number. We'll

559
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: call them afterwards. But you're so immersed in the moment,

560
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: and I really appreciate it because you know how we

561
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 2: feel about regular season college football around here and how

562
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 2: it trumps everything.

563
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, in.

564
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,239
Speaker 2: This moment, if you're watching right now, no one in

565
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 2: their right mind is thinking about where will be for

566
00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 2: the college football playoff. All they're thinking about and all

567
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: you were thinking is you were watching on TV. Is

568
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 2: here we are, September eighteenth, the year of Our Lord,

569
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, on this Saturday night, This right here

570
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 2: is the center of the college football universe. And boy

571
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: was it so happy to be there. I know it

572
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 2: was an incredible scene in Gainesville. I can just tell

573
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: you I did not regret making the decision that I

574
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 2: made to go there last night. It was a brochure.

575
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: Penn State in a whiteout environment is a brochure for

576
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,879
Speaker 2: everything that is right about college football and everything that

577
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: makes this the greatest sport on the face of the earth.

578
00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: And I got to tell you now.

579
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 2: I sent you guys some video of this, and I

580
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 2: post it on Twitter, but I want you to see it.

581
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 1: I'm down in Penn State's tunnel.

582
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 2: I always like to be there when teams arrive, partly

583
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 2: because I like to get you some footage and partly

584
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: because I just like to feel it when they come in.

585
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: So in Beaver Stadium, obviously it's a very old building

586
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: and so it's constructed obviously different than some of these

587
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: newer NFL type facilities where a locker room's totally separate

588
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: from where crowds would be and you're totally isolated. You know,

589
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 2: civilians and players would never interact well. At Penn State

590
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 2: home and away team, they got to walk through a

591
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 2: corridor where they have to coordinate off where otherwise fans

592
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 2: would be coming through. So I walk up Penn State's

593
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,560
Speaker 2: tunnel and I'm there waiting for the buses to come in,

594
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,199
Speaker 2: and a funny thing happened that I wasn't really ready for.

595
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 2: It just happened to be right place, right time. They

596
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 2: opened the gates for the student section. And so if

597
00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: you've ever watched The Lion King. Right before Simba's dad

598
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 2: gets killed, and you know this is going to be sad,

599
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: but it's going to have a happy ending for us.

600
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,679
Speaker 2: Right before Simba's dad gets trampled to death by the Wildebest,

601
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 2: you start to hear the rumble and you can tell

602
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: something coming. That's exactly what this sounded like. Around the corner.

603
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 2: You started to hear. I don't know if it's a rumble,

604
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 2: but you just started to hear something get louder and

605
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 2: louder and louder, and then all of a sudden, you realize, Oh,

606
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 2: they've opened the gates and it's first come, first serve.

607
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: It's the first one who gets there gets the seat

608
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: in the student section. And so I had to jump

609
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: out of the way or else I was going to

610
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 2: go the way of Sima's dad.

611
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: I was going to get.

612
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 2: Trampled to death, not by Wildebests, but by Penn State students.

613
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,640
Speaker 2: And I don't even think they would have slowed down,

614
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: because there were bigger stakes in play at that point,

615
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 2: and I wouldn't have blamed him. Tricia Pate back home

616
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: may have, but I would not have blamed them. Awesome environment,

617
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 2: Awesome to see, and no one wanted to leave. Afterwards,

618
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 2: I promise you I'm about to break down the game,

619
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: but I wanted to give you an extended feel about

620
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:48,239
Speaker 2: what this atmosphere was like.

621
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,440
Speaker 1: After the game, I am out there.

622
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 2: James Franklin took his sweet time as well he should

623
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 2: have exiting that facility, and so I followed him, as

624
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,239
Speaker 2: a stalker tends to do. Follow James Franklin. I did

625
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 2: it for you, not for me, And there he is

626
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 2: just waving, I think, to the folks on the International

627
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 2: Space Station. And so James Franklin afterwards, you know, he

628
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 2: walks over, but I want you to know he's already

629
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 2: done two interviews on the field by this point. Do

630
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 2: you see the stands? Are you looking at this? And

631
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: if you're not, you know I'll get you a more

632
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 2: zoomed out vantage point in just a second. Look at

633
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 2: that place. This is fifteen minutes after this game has ended,

634
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: and it went on a little ways after this.

635
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 1: No one left, No one wanted to leave. It wasn't the.

636
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 2: Greatest thing for traffic afterwards, because I didn't get out

637
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: of there until about two am.

638
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: Had a seven am flight this morning. But no one

639
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: wanted to leave.

640
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: Everyone just wanted to soak it in, which is kind

641
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 2: of emblematic of what those moments sort of engender inside

642
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: of you. That's what it's about. It's about moments. College

643
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 2: football is about regular season moments. It is not about playoffs.

644
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 2: Playoffs are just a cherry on top.

645
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 1: This is the Sunday.

646
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 2: The playoff can be your sauce, but this is the

647
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: state the regular season. And that was awesome last night.

648
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 2: So this was a great game to be at. It

649
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: was a great game to watch. It was everything we

650
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: expected stylistically. There was no point in this game where

651
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 2: anyone started to pull away. There was no point where

652
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 2: someone built some insurmountable three possession lead. But it also

653
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: wasn't quite as rock fightish as we thought it'd be.

654
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: There were some points scored. They just about hit the

655
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: over in this game, which I didn't think was much

656
00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: of a possibility. They had to have a touchdown called

657
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 2: back to avoid the thing going over. But there was

658
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 2: no extended drought in scoring. And I'll tell you what

659
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 2: I thought was very admirable for Auburn, even in a loss.

660
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: I can't overstate enough how impossible it should have been

661
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 2: to function as an offense in that environment last night.

662
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: If you follow me on Instagram, go play that story

663
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: and listen to the crowd noise.

664
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,200
Speaker 1: I shot all that from field level. Just listen to it.

665
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 2: Turn your volume up and listen to it, and then

666
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 2: imagine having to actually play quarterback in that So Bo

667
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: Nicks did not put up an all SEC caliber performance

668
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: last night.

669
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 1: It could have been a lot worse.

670
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 2: I think we can all acknowledge that, especially given what

671
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,719
Speaker 2: everyone expected. Multiple interceptions is what you expected coming in.

672
00:28:58,600 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 1: They responded.

673
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: They being Auburn, responded with two touchdown drives after Penn

674
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: State had scored touchdowns themselves.

675
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: That is a moment that I.

676
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: Think is very underrated because Auburn goes on to lose

677
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,480
Speaker 2: this game. But that's a moment where in the past

678
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 2: and maybe present, you would expect them to go what

679
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 2: a lot of coaches would call rat trap, which means

680
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 2: deer in headlights. You were totally phased by not only

681
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: what your opponent has done, something external, but you're also

682
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: phased heavily by the environment, again something external. And they

683
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: did not operate flawlessly, but Auburn was able to answer

684
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: a couple of times.

685
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I.

686
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,120
Speaker 2: Thought the turning point in this game was going to

687
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 2: be it was nearing halftime, Penn State's already up and

688
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: they are driving and Zakobe macclain, who ends up getting

689
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 2: ejected in very bs fashion later in the game, he

690
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 2: puts a hit on Sean Clifford that ends up making

691
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 2: Clifford float the ball and it forces an interception right

692
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 2: there at.

693
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 1: The goal line. Now it's innocuous because Penn State still

694
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: has the lead. They go on to win the game.

695
00:29:57,240 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 2: But the reason it ended up not mattering as much

696
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 2: is because Auburn not only stole a possession there and

697
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 2: they kept points off the board. Auburn got the ball

698
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: to start the second half. The reason you don't remember it,

699
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 2: it's because Auburn turned the ball over.

700
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: That's the turning point in this game.

701
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 2: That is what keeps Auburn from maybe having this be

702
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 2: instead of them chasing points at the end of the game,

703
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 2: it be a tie game and they're trying to drive

704
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: to win.

705
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: Because I thought that was a huge.

706
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: Hinge point that gets overlooked again because Auburn ends up

707
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: losing the game. But man, when they immediately turned it

708
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,959
Speaker 2: over to start the second half, you could feel it.

709
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 2: You could feel it start to shift in the building,

710
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 2: you could feel it start to shift on the Penn

711
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 2: State sidelines. The box score started to shift. That total

712
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: yardage ended up not being a big edge at all.

713
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: I think it was one yard difference. But that was

714
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: only Auburn closing that gap at the very end because

715
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 2: the critical factors had started to tilt pretty heavily towards

716
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 2: Penn State. But let me tell you something, Sean Clifford

717
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: a ton of credit deserved here.

718
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: Twenty eight to thirty two.

719
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: That is not something I would have ever expected if

720
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 2: you told me Sean Clifford's stat line was only going

721
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 2: to have foreign completions. Honestly, I would have thought he

722
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 2: must have gone four for eight early and got knocked

723
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 2: out of the game, because I never thought that would

724
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 2: be possible. But credit the offensive line, because there was

725
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 2: something Wisconsin did against Sean Clifford in Week one that

726
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 2: Auburn didn't do, and that is get pressure on him consistently.

727
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 1: He had time.

728
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 2: I even think some of their coaching staff at Penn

729
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 2: State was probably a little surprised at how much time

730
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: he had. One of the first plays in the game,

731
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 2: he stood back there and I think had time to yawn,

732
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 2: check his watch and wade to someone in the crowd

733
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 2: and then make a pass. And it wasn't like that

734
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,959
Speaker 2: all night, but Auburn consistently struggled to get pressure on him.

735
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 1: But I think there's a lot to take away here,

736
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,560
Speaker 1: kind of like we talked about with Florida.

737
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 2: Ultimately, the positives you can take away from a loss

738
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 2: are defined by how you use him down the road.

739
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 2: So if Auburn goes into the tank, this doesn't matter.

740
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 2: But if they springboard into the rest of the season,

741
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 2: if they are a significant challenge to Georgia in a

742
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 2: few weeks at home in Jordan Hare Stadium instead of

743
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: having to go where they went last night, which was

744
00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: like ten hornets nests, then it matters. But for Penn

745
00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 2: State this totally invalidates twenty twenty in all the negatives,

746
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 2: so it invalidates it in a positive way. This was

747
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: the most crucial factor coming into twenty twenty one. Remember

748
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: we talked about that Wisconsin game in week one and

749
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 2: I said, so much is going to Hinge on the

750
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: outcome of this game. It's probably unfair, but so much

751
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: is going to Hinge on the outcome of this game

752
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: because twenty twenty is fresh in everyone's mind. But at

753
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: the same time, everyone's willing to forgive twenty twenty as

754
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 2: long as you give them a reason to well. They

755
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 2: got out gained, they got out box scored in week one,

756
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: but they found a way to win, and that's all

757
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: people remember. They won, and then they won again, and

758
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 2: now they've won again, and all of a sudden, guess

759
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: what Penn State's doing. They're climbing, climbing, climbing. I had

760
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 2: have fifth in the JP Pole last week. There is

761
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: no flawless team out there. There is no perfect team

762
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: out there. Everything's in front of Penn State. You can't

763
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 2: imagine what kind of world of good it does Sean

764
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 2: Clifford to finally have a game like that last night.

765
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I've watched him circle the entire stadium. By

766
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 2: the way, afterwards, if you watched the broadcast, you saw

767
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 2: when Holly Rowe interviewed Sean Clifford and James Franklin, they

768
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: can tell you it's just one game after the next

769
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 2: all they want, and every game's equal.

770
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: They're not.

771
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 2: Last night meant a whole lot last night. Someone with

772
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: an SEC sticker on their helmet came into their building

773
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,719
Speaker 2: and they beat them, and they beat them. Whereas some

774
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 2: people thought, even though they were favored, there was significant

775
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: reason to doubt Penn State. Well, they're always going to

776
00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: have reason to doubt you until you shut them up.

777
00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying Penn State completely zippered everyone's.

778
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: Mouth last night.

779
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 2: But that's okay because that's a process in and of itself.

780
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,320
Speaker 2: You've dropped some of these big games, and now it's

781
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 2: time to win a string of them in a row.

782
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: They've started that Wisconsin check, Auburn check. Now you look

783
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: down the road. Eventually we got Indiana. Far be it

784
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 2: from me to overlook Villanova. God blessed Villanova, but.

785
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: We got Indiana. Down the road.

786
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 2: There is that trip to Iowa looming on what I

787
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 2: think is the biggest Saturday of the college football season.

788
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,720
Speaker 2: They're gonna play Michigan eventually. You guys know how I

789
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 2: feel the wardrobe should be handled for that game.

790
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: They're going to go to Ohio State.

791
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 2: There is a lot of very fascinating football in the

792
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 2: future for Penn State. There are positives to be taken

793
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 2: away for both of these programs. Brian Harson got to

794
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 2: Auburn fifteen minutes ago, and they hung for four quarters

795
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: in what was the most hostile environment start to finish

796
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 2: I've ever been a part of. I've been in a

797
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 2: lot of hostile ones. This was an incredible scene. Strongly

798
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 2: encourage you watch the replay if you haven't seen it,

799
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 2: but go check out that Instagram story because I got

800
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 2: like thirty minutes of footage for you over there.

801
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: Let's move on here. We've still got a lot of

802
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,759
Speaker 1: games to get to. Do you know, Miami got.

803
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 2: Skull drug by Michigan State yesterday, and I know the

804
00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 2: tendency for a lot of people is to look at

805
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 2: Miami because they're the program that parentally more is expected

806
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 2: of than you eventually get, and you just want to

807
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 2: trash Miami. But it's an interesting outcome here if you

808
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 2: really think about it. And I got a lot of

809
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: games to get to, so stay tuned. This game does

810
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 2: something that's very rare in college football. It leaves no

811
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 2: debate on either side. You look at Miami and there's

812
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: no way that you defend the product on the field

813
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 2: right now. Even the most diehard of Kane fan does

814
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,400
Speaker 2: not defend the product on the field. Everyone thinks they

815
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 2: should be better. And then on the other side, there's

816
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 2: no one that could do anything but give massive amounts

817
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,759
Speaker 2: of credit to what mel Tucker has done at Michigan State.

818
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 2: I don't care how you feel about the programs. How

819
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:20,839
Speaker 2: could you disagree with those two sentiments right now? And

820
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 2: if you'll think about where that program was Michigan State.

821
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 1: When Meltucker came in, a lot.

822
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,960
Speaker 2: Of people said, oh, they're massively overpaying for him, and

823
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,839
Speaker 2: this feels like a dead in the water Higher. This

824
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 2: is why you don't judge hires based on press conferences

825
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 2: and based on what newspaper headlines say and what web

826
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: headlines say, because those people are not accountable up to

827
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 2: an including me. You know, even if I were to

828
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 2: say something, I don't get fired. If I'm wrong about something.

829
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 2: They get fired if they lose games. We don't only

830
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 2: get fired if we're wrong about stuff. Now, I try

831
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 2: not to be and I didn't hate on Meltucker's higher,

832
00:35:57,160 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 2: but a lot of people out there did. Just keep

833
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 2: that in mind because I'm going to talk about something

834
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,840
Speaker 2: when we wrap this review of this game up that

835
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 2: I think Bear's paying close attention to. But it was

836
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,800
Speaker 2: kind of a surreal setting because I was in Beaver Stadium.

837
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:12,680
Speaker 2: It pints that I was watching this game, and I

838
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 2: was watching the fourth quarter, and I'm watching Michigan State

839
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 2: just continue to run it up, and I considered how

840
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 2: many advantages Miami should have. I was over on the

841
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 2: Michigan State twenty four to seven board today. Most of

842
00:36:24,360 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 2: you understood what I was saying. One of you horribly

843
00:36:26,920 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 2: miscontextualized what I was saying. Miami should have a lot

844
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 2: of advantage over you, because the sport is built, geography

845
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: is built to give Miami an advantage over Michigan State.

846
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 2: And yet that staff at Miami has been there longer

847
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 2: than yours. They are a Power five program with a

848
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 2: rich tradition, parked in South Florida, and you went in

849
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 2: there with a second years staff, and one of those

850
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,319
Speaker 2: years is a COVID year where they didn't even really

851
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 2: get to do anything with their players, and they took

852
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 2: it to Miami. Immense amounts of credit are due to

853
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: melt Tucker and his staff because of this. The Miami

854
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 2: issues you watched them this year. It doesn't take a

855
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 2: rocket scientist to figure it out. It's one of the

856
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 2: worst tackling teams in college football right now. The drop

857
00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 2: balls that we talked about at the beginning of the

858
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 2: year still an issue. You're looking at Manny Diaz's record

859
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: right now on the screen from the time he's been

860
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 2: at Miami, and it's not good.

861
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: We go six and seven last year.

862
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 2: There was some positivity to build off of, we thought,

863
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,439
Speaker 2: but now it's a one to two campaign so far,

864
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 2: and that one win was narrow over Appalachian State. Now

865
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 2: they got Central Con coming in there this week.

866
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: Who got housed by.

867
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: A direction to Louisiana School yesterday, So they're gonna win

868
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,879
Speaker 2: this week, but then they're gonna dive into conference play.

869
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what to make of Miami. I've got

870
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 2: a hard time seeing them get it back on the

871
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 2: rails this year. But yet we all know there are

872
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 2: programs every year who are left for dead around this time,

873
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 2: around the third to quarter pole of the year, who

874
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:50,560
Speaker 2: end up putting together a run. But they are you know,

875
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:52,799
Speaker 2: they're struggling to run the ball. There's just there are

876
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,439
Speaker 2: a lot of issues. Some of them are far too

877
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 2: fundamental in nature. The tackling issues just fundamental in nature.

878
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: But I do want to point one thing out. Think

879
00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 2: anytime Miami loses games, there's always this tendency to say, well,

880
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 2: they haven't recruited well enough. You know, they let that

881
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 2: talent get out of South Florida. Some of that's true.

882
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 2: We talked about that in the show. The reason they

883
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 2: lost to Michigan State is not a talent issue, and

884
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you why. It's not a recruiting issue either.

885
00:38:17,560 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 2: They've got good enough players to win these games. The

886
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 2: reason I know that recruiting is not the determining factor

887
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 2: is because the players they have haven't been developed to

888
00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 2: their maximum potential. It'd be one thing if Miami was

889
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 2: squeezing every ounce of potential out of this current roster

890
00:38:32,800 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 2: and they were just coming up short because their players.

891
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: Weren't talented enough, they weren't good enough. That's not what's happening.

892
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 2: You watch Miami and you think to yourself, there are

893
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 2: probably several staffs out there that could get better results

894
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 2: out of this roster.

895
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:47,440
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I thought yesterday.

896
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: I asked myself what would mel Tucker do with Miami's roster?

897
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,919
Speaker 2: And my answer was, I think he'd do something better

898
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: than what I'm seeing right now.

899
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: How can you say anything other than that.

900
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 2: So again, I'm not one to immediately want to hit

901
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 2: the dump. But I'm not calling for hot seed or

902
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 2: fire or anything like that. But you do have to

903
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:08,080
Speaker 2: demand accountability. I don't think I'm telling anyone anything that

904
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 2: Manny Diaz hasn't already told himself and told his staff.

905
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys get it. But I'll tell you

906
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 2: one thing, and here's something to think about. I just

907
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,080
Speaker 2: want you to marinate on this. We have talked a

908
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 2: lot about Arkansas. I'm gonna touch on the Pigs before

909
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 2: the end of the game. You need to think about

910
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 2: the culture fit that's going on right here, cause Sam

911
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 2: Pittman and that culture at Arkansas they have meshed.

912
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: That's PB and J.

913
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 2: You listen to Mel Tucker talk, Does that guy not

914
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,920
Speaker 2: feel like Michigan State to you? There was a quote yesterday,

915
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 2: this is Mel Tucker in the postgame. We wanted to

916
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 2: drag them into the deep water where we are, where

917
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 2: we live with the strain and the struggle, the pain,

918
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 2: the pressure, the weight room, the discipline, the attention to detail. Basically,

919
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 2: what he's saying is we got it. They don't, and

920
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 2: we knew if we could get him out here we'd

921
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:53,319
Speaker 2: prove it, and they did. That is Michigan State. If

922
00:39:53,360 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: you cut Michigan State open, that's what bleeds out that

923
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 2: kind of mentality. Mel Tucker, we could go on to

924
00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 2: look at that as one of the most low key

925
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 2: genius hires in the last five or six years in

926
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,680
Speaker 2: college football. Sam Pittman could be that Mel Tucker could

927
00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 2: be that it's too early to tell. These could be

928
00:40:10,680 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: anecdotal results. But I got to tell you, if they

929
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 2: are at this point anecdotal, I'd much rather be on

930
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 2: this side of the anecdotal argument than the other side.

931
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 2: So congratulations to Michigan State. They are undefeated. They are

932
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 2: three to zero. I thought I had written their schedule down.

933
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 2: They it's going to be interesting. Let me just say

934
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,360
Speaker 2: that it's going to be interesting for Michigan State. Okay,

935
00:40:30,520 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 2: we got several more games to get to. We're about

936
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: to go rapid fire week three. Several added takeaways from

937
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 2: Week three in college football on top of what we've

938
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 2: already talked about. How about Clemson fourteen to eight over

939
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:45,359
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech. I got to tell you it felt a

940
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,759
Speaker 2: bit surreal for me to turn this game on in

941
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 2: the Penn State press box, yesterday and catch the ending

942
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 2: of it and watch Clemson. You almost think you're looking

943
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:56,239
Speaker 2: at an optical illusion. Is this like a spring? Get

944
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 2: what am I looking at here?

945
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: So I got Clemson backed up against their own goal line.

946
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,319
Speaker 1: Oh oh, they don't have the ball. Georgia Tech's got

947
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: the ball. Clemson is having to put forth a goal

948
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: line stand to keep the Jackets from going ahead at

949
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: the end of the regulation. I mean they could win

950
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: the game. And I'm looking and Director Colin put it

951
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 1: more directly than any of us could before the show. Tonight,

952
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: Clemson scored.

953
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: Half the amount of points they were favored by. They

954
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 2: still won the game. They hung fourteen, they won the game.

955
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:27,480
Speaker 2: They were favored by twenty eight. I'm about to read

956
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 2: you a stat that I saw written earlier today. I

957
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,240
Speaker 2: can't remember where I saw it. This is mind boggling.

958
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 2: Out of all the teams in the ACC, Clemson has

959
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 2: the lowest yards per play of any of them. They

960
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 2: are the worst offense in the conference in terms of

961
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 2: yards per play. They are one hundred and twenty second

962
00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 2: in the nation. There's only one hundred and thirty teams

963
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 2: at last check. Some odd in terms of yards per play.

964
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 2: When they lost to Georgia. I came on the show

965
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 2: the following night and I said, all I heard last

966
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 2: night was, well, Clemson's got to get a lot fixed

967
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 2: before the playoff. And there was just this assumption, well,

968
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 2: they're gonna win every other game. They'll be favored, you know,

969
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 2: so they'll win every other game. Again, listen to that

970
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 2: on the podcast or you're watching on YouTube. That's paper.

971
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,399
Speaker 2: Games aren't played on it. If they were, this would

972
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 2: have been a runaway.

973
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:19,320
Speaker 1: They're not. Some of the same.

974
00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 2: Issues that we watched plague at Clemson in Week one

975
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 2: that we thought was just because of a dominant Georgia defense.

976
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 2: Maybe it wasn't just because of a dominant Georgia defense.

977
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:31,279
Speaker 2: Maybe this offense is not good. Maybe dj Owyangololay is

978
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 2: not what he was hyped to be to this point.

979
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:34,480
Speaker 1: Now.

980
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: The reason why I struggle with that concept is because

981
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 2: I've got a sneaking suspicion that if I took Dju

982
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 2: and I put him in Alabama's offense, I don't think

983
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 2: he'd be struggling like this.

984
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people out there.

985
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 2: In the scouting world who think Clemson's offensive approach needs overhauling. Again,

986
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:53,799
Speaker 2: that's something above my pay grade. I'm not about to

987
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 2: pull the grease board down here because we don't have one.

988
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:57,759
Speaker 2: But even if we did, I wouldn't do it. But

989
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 2: I'm just telling you that's the talk, kind of behind

990
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 2: the water cooler, kind of behind the curtain.

991
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 1: That's the talk.

992
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 2: And again the anecdotal evidence would lead you to believe, Yeah,

993
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:09,160
Speaker 2: that makes a lot of sense. So Clemson Winds they

994
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 2: go to NC State this week. They're favored by just

995
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:15,200
Speaker 2: under two touchdowns. They got to score more than fourteen

996
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 2: to cover. I pretty much know that Wake Forest just

997
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:21,240
Speaker 2: ran all over Florida State yesterday thirty five to fourteen

998
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:24,920
Speaker 2: the final This was a wood shedding, so Wake had

999
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,919
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty six more total yards. They ran

1000
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 2: thirty eight more plays than did Florida State thirty eight.

1001
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: They had twelve more first downs.

1002
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:39,319
Speaker 2: Why well, half a dozen turnovers probably had something to

1003
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:41,960
Speaker 2: do with it from Florida State. And so when we

1004
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 2: came into this year, granted it was a long shot,

1005
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 2: I acknowledged that, but we had some fringe hope that

1006
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 2: maybe there'd be some magic with Mackenzie Milton and that

1007
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 2: only got exclamated in week one when they almost beat

1008
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 2: Notre Dame and it has been downhill since then.

1009
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:56,319
Speaker 1: You lose to.

1010
00:43:56,360 --> 00:44:01,440
Speaker 2: Jacksonville State, you get thrashed by wake Forest. Now, I mean,

1011
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,759
Speaker 2: we're looking at Miami and we're asking these questions. We're

1012
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 2: looking at Florida State and we're asking these questions, and

1013
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 2: all the while, you just if you're the rest of

1014
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 2: college football, knowing how pivotal it would be for balancing

1015
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 2: out the sport long term and recruiting for those two

1016
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,240
Speaker 2: to get right, you just have to look.

1017
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 1: And you have to shake your head. I know I do,

1018
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,319
Speaker 1: and I know Florida State fans and Miami fans do.

1019
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 2: How about Ohio State? You look at the final score,

1020
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 2: forty one to twenty, that's not bad. Well, if you

1021
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 2: go over to buck Nuts, they would disagree. If you

1022
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 2: talk to any of you are resident Buckeye fans, they

1023
00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:37,239
Speaker 2: would probably disagree. Now, Travion Henderson didn't care. He set

1024
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,880
Speaker 2: a new record for Ohio State total yards rushing in

1025
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,360
Speaker 2: a game two seventy seven.

1026
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: He topped a.

1027
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 2: Guy, oh Man Archie's something can't remember. I'm told he

1028
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 2: was pretty good there though. So that was a good

1029
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 2: thing for Travion Henderson. However, we talked last week about

1030
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: how there would be defensive changes at Ohio State, and

1031
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 2: there were. You know, Carrie Combs was not announced as

1032
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:01,520
Speaker 2: being demoted, but yet there he was, Matt Barnes calling

1033
00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,000
Speaker 2: plays for him yesterday, Carry Combs up in the box,

1034
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 2: Matt Barnes down on the field. The problem was the

1035
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,520
Speaker 2: change has turned out to be more cosmetic than anything,

1036
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,359
Speaker 2: because all Ohio State did, as we told you last

1037
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 2: week when changes happened in season, was simplify. And the

1038
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 2: problem was it got simplified to the point where Tulsa

1039
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 2: figured out how to hang five hundred total yards of

1040
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 2: offense on him. They had four hundred and twenty eight

1041
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,759
Speaker 2: yards passing did Tulsa? All is not lost.

1042
00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: Here for Ohio State.

1043
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 2: There are teams, as I've said before already on the show,

1044
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:33,960
Speaker 2: there are teams every year that have a lot of

1045
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 2: talent that do not perform to the level of that

1046
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,760
Speaker 2: collective talent early in the year. Clemson's done this before,

1047
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 2: They're hoping to do it this year, and then they

1048
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 2: eventually hit a stride.

1049
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:44,240
Speaker 1: Ohio State.

1050
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 2: Unlike some teams whose potential is already capped, Ohio State

1051
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 2: could hockey stick this thing.

1052
00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: I know it's hard to see right now. It always is.

1053
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,960
Speaker 2: That's the point of someone surprising you. But Ryan Day

1054
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,080
Speaker 2: and his staff they've got to go to work. They've

1055
00:45:58,080 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 2: got to do a great coaching job.

1056
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: That's it.

1057
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 2: The hallmark of what ends up being a really good

1058
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,439
Speaker 2: team is it improves week over week, and right now

1059
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:06,560
Speaker 2: you're not seeing the improvement.

1060
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 1: That's not a good thing.

1061
00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 2: There is good news, and that is the season is

1062
00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 2: still very young in Ohio State is well. Obviously they're

1063
00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: undefeated in conference play, but they've still got everything in

1064
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 2: front of them. Everything they wanted to accomplish theoretically still

1065
00:46:18,040 --> 00:46:20,479
Speaker 2: in front of them. But man, it's got to start

1066
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:25,560
Speaker 2: hockey sticking, gotta start elevating eventually. Oklahoma struggled mightily with

1067
00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:30,239
Speaker 2: Nebraska yesterday. It was the fewest total Oklahoma points in

1068
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 2: a win since twenty thirteen.

1069
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,400
Speaker 1: Twenty three to sixteen was the final.

1070
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 2: I got an Oklahoma buddy who hits me up regularly

1071
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:43,399
Speaker 2: during games. I normally leave them alone because nothing good

1072
00:46:43,440 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 2: comes from talking about the game during the game, But

1073
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:51,200
Speaker 2: after he wanted to talk about the offense. And here's

1074
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:53,320
Speaker 2: the best way I can sum it up for anyone

1075
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 2: who hasn't watched Oklahoma or didn't see this game yesterday.

1076
00:46:56,600 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 2: It's like watching a long drive specialist walk onto a

1077
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 2: golf course and not be able to sink a five

1078
00:47:03,440 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 2: foot putt to save his life. Oklahoma, it's all they

1079
00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,080
Speaker 2: want to do. They want to blast you over the top.

1080
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:12,359
Speaker 2: But the problem is defensive coordinators are wise to it,

1081
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 2: and they can't take advantage of favorable boxes underneath, and

1082
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 2: they can't take advantage of loose coverage underneath. There is

1083
00:47:19,840 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 2: no consistent ground and pound, there's no consistent underneath route

1084
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:25,319
Speaker 2: techniques or anything like that.

1085
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: Concepts not techniques.

1086
00:47:27,320 --> 00:47:30,919
Speaker 2: And so they just essentially get Burry Odem to death.

1087
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 2: This is what Barry Odem does at Arkansas all the time.

1088
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 2: That's what happened with Nebraska yesterday.

1089
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 1: And that's how an offense that should be explosive hangs

1090
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 1: twenty three total points. Again, that is up to a

1091
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 1: coaching staff to fix because you're never gonna look at

1092
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: me if you're Oklahoma, and you're never gonna say, well,

1093
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: I know how to fix it.

1094
00:47:50,680 --> 00:47:52,800
Speaker 2: But we don't have the pieces to fix it. Nope,

1095
00:47:52,840 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 2: that's not gonna work. That's not because there's someone out

1096
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 2: there this year. There's someone out there this week that's doing.

1097
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: Far more with far less. Not gonna fly. But they

1098
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,680
Speaker 1: did win, and that's the important part.

1099
00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 2: North Carolina had a very underrated big win yesterday. North

1100
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 2: Carolina fifty nine, Virginia thirty nine.

1101
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:13,280
Speaker 1: This was pivotal.

1102
00:48:13,520 --> 00:48:16,359
Speaker 2: Unlike some of these teams who have lost already, North

1103
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 2: Carolina's lost a conference game. If they would have fallen

1104
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,239
Speaker 2: to zero to two in conference yesterday and they were

1105
00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 2: only favored by seven or.

1106
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: Eight once this game kicked off, that would have been

1107
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,320
Speaker 1: no bueno. That would have been bad, bad news.

1108
00:48:27,560 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 2: And they trailed at halftime of this thing, but they

1109
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,200
Speaker 2: won the second half to the tune of thirty five

1110
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 2: to eleven. And I want to read you a quote.

1111
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 2: You know, I love bulletin boar material. I say that sarcastically,

1112
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 2: but hey, when it works, it works. So these words

1113
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,680
Speaker 2: came from the mouth of Virginia defensive alignment Mandy Alonso

1114
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:51,120
Speaker 2: this week quote. They always try to come physical. It's

1115
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 2: our culture versus theirs. We're going to go harder, longer

1116
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 2: each play and the whole game than they will, even

1117
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,560
Speaker 2: if they come out swinging. We just have to be

1118
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:02,440
Speaker 2: able to sustain it, and we know they can't sustain

1119
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,759
Speaker 2: it because the past four years they haven't been able to.

1120
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 2: North Carolina proceeded to hang fifty nine points. They proceeded

1121
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 2: to run for like half a mile. Our guy ty

1122
00:49:13,719 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 2: Chandler had nearly two hundred on the ground and a

1123
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 2: couple of scores. Suffice it to say the tar Heels

1124
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 2: sustained against Virginia and then some yesterday. And I want

1125
00:49:23,239 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: to point out you have looked around the rest of

1126
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 2: the landscape of college football. This is not a land

1127
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,880
Speaker 2: of giants this year. It's a land of taller and

1128
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 2: still pretty tall. And if I jump, I can still

1129
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 2: reach you. It's that kind of year. This year, a

1130
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:39,879
Speaker 2: lot of folks can be had. And so there's gonna

1131
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,640
Speaker 2: be a team who is left for dead early in

1132
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 2: the year and ends up grabbing a playoff spot. It's

1133
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: gonna happen. I can already tell you it's either gonna

1134
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,759
Speaker 2: happen or they're going to push someone to the very

1135
00:49:51,800 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: brink and they're going to be a factor, a mainstay

1136
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 2: at playoff conversation. Right now, North Carolina has been left

1137
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 2: for dead. You didn't watch this game in all likelihood, Yester.

1138
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 2: You watched them in Week one. They couldn't move the

1139
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 2: ball against Virginia Tech. They couldn't do anything. And you said,

1140
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,719
Speaker 2: there goes North Carolina with three and a half more

1141
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 2: months of football to play.

1142
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 1: You dismissed a team that's very talented. Well, I didn't.

1143
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 2: I was disappointed in Week one, but I didn't dismiss them,

1144
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:18,720
Speaker 2: and so just give them a little time.

1145
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 1: You never know.

1146
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,960
Speaker 2: Crazy sport, this college football. So someone's gonna be left

1147
00:50:23,960 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 2: for dead and they're gonna make it. Why not North Carolina?

1148
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 2: And lastly, speaking of making it, anyone sees Cincinnati yesterday

1149
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 2: Indiana did in Cincinnati wins thirty eight to twenty four.

1150
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:38,840
Speaker 2: Michael Pennix for Indiana, three more interceptions. It is a

1151
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:41,600
Speaker 2: chronic issue at this point. It is what Indiana offense

1152
00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 2: has become known for. And that's not a good thing

1153
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 2: because otherwise you look at the box score, this was

1154
00:50:46,239 --> 00:50:49,360
Speaker 2: an evenly played game. It's just being minus two turnovers

1155
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:53,160
Speaker 2: as usually an end poorly for you. I've said this

1156
00:50:53,440 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 2: repeatedly since the summer. I'm gonna say it again even

1157
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 2: more emphatically.

1158
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: You guys are making it a lot more complicated than

1159
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:01,319
Speaker 1: you need to. With Cincinnati.

1160
00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:02,960
Speaker 2: I am telling you, whether you want to believe it

1161
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 2: right now or not, it is very basic. If this

1162
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 2: team wins out, they're gonna be in the playoff. That's

1163
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 2: as far as I'm going to talk about playoffs in September.

1164
00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:13,120
Speaker 2: A lot of you still think fourteen different things need

1165
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 2: to fall perfectly in line, and this tumbler has to

1166
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 2: go here, and that team's got to lose two games.

1167
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,239
Speaker 1: It's a different world.

1168
00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 2: Seven years worth of wisdom on how this playoff format

1169
00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 2: works is working against you because the status quo has changed,

1170
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 2: the perception of the American Athletic Conference has changed. This

1171
00:51:28,840 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 2: team started preseason top ten. They were already in the conversation.

1172
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,439
Speaker 2: They're not having to work their way into it. They've

1173
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,439
Speaker 2: got an established track record. If Cincinnati wins out, they're

1174
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 2: going to be in the playoff. That's independent of whatever

1175
00:51:41,520 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 2: happens out there elsewhere. I've already seen enough, and I've

1176
00:51:44,719 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 2: already seen teams that have lost struggle mightily against inferior

1177
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 2: competition that they end up beating. There are not gonna

1178
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 2: be these hurdles of resumes that Cincinnati can overcome this year.

1179
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 2: It's a different format, it's a different landscape, so I

1180
00:51:57,640 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 2: know you'll have to see.

1181
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 1: It to believe it. You know, I don't beat the G.

1182
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 2: Five drum by any stretch, But it doesn't matter what

1183
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 2: I root for to happen.

1184
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 1: That's gonna happen. If they went out, that's gonna happen.

1185
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 2: Some quick hitters that I wanted to get to, and

1186
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna hand out our best bets. Ole Miss

1187
00:52:14,200 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 2: won yesterday sixty one to twenty one over two lane.

1188
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 2: This was what they were up like, sixty one, nothing

1189
00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,520
Speaker 2: like halfway through the third quarter. It was a bloodbath.

1190
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 2: You remember when we started Old Miss at fourteenth in

1191
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 2: the JP pole and a lot of you laughed.

1192
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: Of course, you have predictably gone into ghost mode on me.

1193
00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 2: They are now thirteenth I think in the AP, which

1194
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 2: is laughable because I dare you, if you're an AP voter,

1195
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:42,880
Speaker 2: I dare you to take a paycheck, put it on

1196
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,719
Speaker 2: the table and find me twelve teams you'd pick to

1197
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 2: beat Ole Miss on a neutral field tomorrow. Notre Dame

1198
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 2: in the AP is ranked ahead of Old Miss. And

1199
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 2: I'm telling you there is not a person with a

1200
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,839
Speaker 2: sane head on their shoulders who would be would pick

1201
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 2: Notre Dame to beat Old Miss tomorrow neutral field.

1202
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:04,399
Speaker 1: If you would, you need to have that vote taken

1203
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: away from you.

1204
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 2: So I say that to say we have long since

1205
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,160
Speaker 2: had Ole Miss in the top ten. This is one

1206
00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 2: of the ten best teams in America. You want to

1207
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:13,120
Speaker 2: know what they have this week?

1208
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 1: Nothing they gotta buy and then they're gonna play Alabama.

1209
00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 2: Doesn't that sound fun? What about Michigan? The old for

1210
00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 2: better or for worse? Michigan, They've got an offensive identity.

1211
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 2: They just sledge hammered Northern Illinois yesterday. Sixty three to

1212
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 2: ten was the final. It was sixty three to three

1213
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 2: at the end of the third quarter. Exact same formula

1214
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,279
Speaker 2: they used in the Washington game. It was nearly a

1215
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:42,920
Speaker 2: three to one run to pass ratio. They had seventeen passes,

1216
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:46,440
Speaker 2: they had forty eight runs, and as part of that

1217
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 2: forty eight runs, they had three hundred and seventy three

1218
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:52,000
Speaker 2: yards seven point eight per carrey. They are three to

1219
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,680
Speaker 2: zero their next four games, Michigan's next four games, Rutgers's

1220
00:53:55,719 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 2: gonna be fun at Wisconsin, at and against Northwestern. Michigan's

1221
00:54:04,000 --> 00:54:06,080
Speaker 2: got an identity. That's as far as I go. The

1222
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,280
Speaker 2: Jpepole loves them. JP Pole had him thirteen last week.

1223
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 2: A lot of you laughed at that too. That's fine.

1224
00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:15,040
Speaker 2: Notice the teams you laugh at they haven't really gone

1225
00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:18,359
Speaker 2: anywhere Iowa State has, but we excuse me. They it's

1226
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 2: a day when they lose. They still have a shot too.

1227
00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 2: They took care of business at UNLV last night like

1228
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 2: a five to one crowd. It managed three thousand miles

1229
00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,480
Speaker 2: away from home, but they did take care of business. Hey, Arkansas,

1230
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 2: this is a little tip of the cap. I know

1231
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 2: it wasn't on any highlight show, but you deserve credit

1232
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 2: when you do what you're supposed to do. Arkansas beat

1233
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 2: Georgia Southern forty five to ten yesterday. Now in retrospect,

1234
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:41,279
Speaker 2: I hate these kinds of games because people look at

1235
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,240
Speaker 2: it leading up and this is one of those whisper games.

1236
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: Got it, You got your buddy. Everyone knows a guy like.

1237
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 2: This, he says, Arkansas Man, big win against Texas.

1238
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 1: Let down mode. Who's coming in Georgia Southern. They're only

1239
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,359
Speaker 1: favored by twenty three upset alert And then when they

1240
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: win the same dude says, it's Georgia Southern. Pick alane man,

1241
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 1: pick a lane Now, Arkansas did not play a flawless

1242
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: game yesterday.

1243
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 2: They were sloppy, they had penalty issues. That's what makes

1244
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 2: it all the more beautiful that they still won by

1245
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 2: five touchdowns. As Trey Bittty touched on, I haven't been

1246
00:55:14,840 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 2: able to watch The Walking Talk yet, which my favorite

1247
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 2: show of the week, Like your Entourage is my Trey

1248
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 2: Bitty Walkin Talk just an unhealthy fascination at this point,

1249
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 2: as pointed out on the Arkansas twenty four to seven

1250
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 2: board with the Walk and Talk. But as Bitty pointed out,

1251
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 2: if you are a season ticket holder, if you're a

1252
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 2: lifelong fan of Arkansas, you remember several times these kind

1253
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 2: of teams coming into Reynolds Razorback Stadium and winning in

1254
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:41,720
Speaker 2: some cases comfortably so yet sloppy in a five touchdown win.

1255
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:42,239
Speaker 1: You'll take it.

1256
00:55:42,360 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 2: And now this week it's Arkansas versus Texas, A and

1257
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:46,280
Speaker 2: M and Dallas.

1258
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: We will be there. The Renaissance Tour is headed to Dallas.

1259
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 2: Speaking of A and M, it was our favorite bet

1260
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 2: of the week. We had a minus twenty five and

1261
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,720
Speaker 2: a half. They beat New Mexico thirty four to nothing.

1262
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 2: I cannot tell you how much I love betting backup quarterbacks.

1263
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 2: We did it with Kansas State this week, and one

1264
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 2: we did it with Calzata and Texas A and.

1265
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 1: M and one.

1266
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 2: You give me a backup quarterback and I'll tell you well,

1267
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:09,919
Speaker 2: I'm betting on love it, absolutely love it. They held

1268
00:56:09,920 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 2: New Mexico to one hundred and twenty two yards of total offense.

1269
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 2: That's two point one yards per play. Friends, they are

1270
00:56:14,600 --> 00:56:17,320
Speaker 2: on the conference play now. A and m's opening conference

1271
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 2: play this week. LSU, they did something that deserves some credit.

1272
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,479
Speaker 2: They won a game that deserves credit. But LSU beat

1273
00:56:26,560 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 2: Central Michigan. I would say surprisingly convincingly yesterday. Thirty or

1274
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 2: forty nine to twenty one was the final. They badly

1275
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 2: needed this. It will be overlooked. LSU's win will be

1276
00:56:38,200 --> 00:56:40,840
Speaker 2: overlooked because again they were supposed to do it. You

1277
00:56:40,880 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 2: know what the spread on this thing was. It was

1278
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 2: nineteen and a half. I think that's pretty low. When

1279
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 2: you got a directional school from Michigan from the MAC

1280
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,120
Speaker 2: coming in to LSU. That's a low spread and they

1281
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 2: end up winning it. They take care of business. They

1282
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 2: are favored this week are the LSU Tigers on the

1283
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,919
Speaker 2: road at Mississippi State. They're favorite by I think four

1284
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 2: what it opened at. They have got a badly banged

1285
00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 2: up roster. This is something to follow as the week progresses.

1286
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 2: I was over on Go two four seven before the

1287
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 2: show tonight, and that list is lengthy of the amount

1288
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,839
Speaker 2: of players that are either doubtful or out or questionable.

1289
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 2: I think they added to it with a couple of

1290
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 2: guys yesterday. Too soon to know what their status will be,

1291
00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 2: but four. That's the line. A and M's favored by

1292
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,439
Speaker 2: four over Arkansas, LSU favored by four against Mississippi State.

1293
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 2: There will be a lot of money line action on

1294
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:32,920
Speaker 2: dogs this week, I can assure you, and Texas upholds

1295
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 2: the number one rule of late kick, which of course

1296
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 2: is don't lose to food. Texas fifty eight rice Zip

1297
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,640
Speaker 2: Zip a donut for rice if you will. It was

1298
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 2: the score at the end of the third quarter, by

1299
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:48,080
Speaker 2: the way, so forty four to nothing at halftime. Texas

1300
00:57:48,160 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 2: had no interest in even entertaining food. Yesterday, Casey Thompson

1301
00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 2: had seven touchdown drives on his first eight possessions, and

1302
00:57:57,280 --> 00:58:00,000
Speaker 2: Sark afterwards had this to say about his quarterbacks. You

1303
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:03,320
Speaker 2: there's something about Casey Thompson when he gets into the game,

1304
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:06,440
Speaker 2: the ball goes down the field, I would imagine Casey

1305
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 2: will take the lead at quarterback heading into our game

1306
00:58:08,560 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 2: against Texas Tech, and that Hudson card will get an

1307
00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 2: opportunity to play as well. I guess at this point

1308
00:58:14,360 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 2: this is best case scenario, in case we trust. Remember

1309
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:19,880
Speaker 2: when we updated the Texas mood tracker, it's in case

1310
00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 2: we trust. One loss does not derail anything. The playoff

1311
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 2: crowd will tell you once you lose, once you're done, Well,

1312
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 2: they're idiots, so don't listen to them. Texas has one

1313
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 2: loss on their resume. It was in an extremely hostile

1314
00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 2: environment against a very good Arkansas team. They licked their wounds.

1315
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:38,680
Speaker 2: They immediately got up off the map. They took care

1316
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:41,919
Speaker 2: of rice. Now they're going into conference play. They still

1317
00:58:41,960 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 2: got a lot, They still got everything in front of them.

1318
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 2: If Texas wins every game the rest of the way,

1319
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,760
Speaker 2: they'll be in the playoff. You realize that they've still

1320
00:58:48,760 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 2: got everything to play for. If they win the rest

1321
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 2: of their games, they'll be a Big twelve champion. Does

1322
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 2: everyone realize that? And so there's still plenty to play

1323
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 2: for at Texas. Do not listen to these people, including

1324
00:58:58,600 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 2: in your own family household.

1325
00:59:00,560 --> 00:59:02,680
Speaker 1: If they're doing so, they tell you what, we lost

1326
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: a game, We're out of it. You're out of it.

1327
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 2: You go sit over there by the garbage and think

1328
00:59:07,560 --> 00:59:09,360
Speaker 2: about some things, and we're gonna have fun over here

1329
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 2: because we only get twelve of these a year. So

1330
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 2: those were some things that I noticed on the old

1331
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 2: plane ride home this morning, trying to stay awake. But

1332
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what a lot of you noticed. The

1333
00:59:19,440 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 2: Ramanudle Express chugged its way to a five and two

1334
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 2: record yesterday. We are now sixty two percent against the

1335
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 2: number to start the season, which was even better than

1336
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 2: we did last year.

1337
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:30,480
Speaker 1: It is an.

1338
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,800
Speaker 2: Extremely hard number to uphold, but we're going to do

1339
00:59:32,840 --> 00:59:36,560
Speaker 2: our level best. We have moved on four games already

1340
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 2: this week, it's gonna be a heavy week. I told

1341
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 2: you last week we were gonna go more than five.

1342
00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,920
Speaker 2: We did, and even after that, on the late night

1343
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 2: Friday night lines chat on Instagram Live, I handed out

1344
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 2: like seven or eight more leans. They went seven and one,

1345
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 2: and those weren't even our official bets. I don't count

1346
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 2: them in the record, but I did count the ones

1347
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 2: that we made officials. So we were five and two

1348
00:59:56,720 --> 00:59:59,440
Speaker 2: this week. Here are the four games that were already on.

1349
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 2: If you did not jump on the first game, you

1350
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 2: have already missed this number when we put it out

1351
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 2: earlier today. It was available as of right now.

1352
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: And let me make sure because I don't want to

1353
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:12,080
Speaker 1: be lying to you while we're on live YouTube here

1354
01:00:12,080 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: in front of the world. But we were on Army

1355
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 1: go figure internet freezes. So we got Army minus six

1356
01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: and a half at home against Miami Ohio.

1357
01:00:22,520 --> 01:00:25,520
Speaker 2: It is over seven now, do not touch it there.

1358
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,320
Speaker 2: We will reconvene later in the week. I want that

1359
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 2: at six and a half. Army minus six and a half.

1360
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,680
Speaker 2: We've got Central Michigan minus ten and a half. They're

1361
01:00:33,720 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 2: at home against Florida International. We have got Utah State

1362
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:41,200
Speaker 2: plus nine and a half they are facing Boise at home.

1363
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 1: And San Jose State.

1364
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 2: Plus one and a half going on the road to

1365
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 2: face Western Michigan.

1366
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:49,720
Speaker 1: Those are four games we've already moved on.

1367
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 2: San Jose State plus one and a half, Utah State

1368
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 2: plus nine and a half, Central Michigan minus ten and

1369
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,120
Speaker 2: a half. We want Army under the touchdown minus six

1370
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 2: and a half. I will tell you the model just

1371
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 2: absolutely loves who was who's Colorado playing. I can't remember

1372
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 2: whoever Colorado's playing, or it may have been Colorado. The

1373
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,120
Speaker 2: model loves them so much so that I think it's

1374
01:01:12,160 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 2: broken because the number it spat out can't possibly be true,

1375
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:17,800
Speaker 2: and so I have some hesitation on that one, so

1376
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 2: I did not hand that one out. I will tell

1377
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 2: you who it is. It's Colorado, Arizona State. And the

1378
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,520
Speaker 2: model just loves Colorado. Which is interesting because the model

1379
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 2: loved Minnesota yesterday and we're sitting there quibbling over two

1380
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 2: and a half or three, and it wouldn't move to three,

1381
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 2: so I didn't hand it out as an official. Minnesota

1382
01:01:35,400 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 2: won thirty to nothing. Turns out that half point never

1383
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:39,720
Speaker 2: really matter all that much. But the games we moved

1384
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 2: on we did very good on. So those are the

1385
01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 2: four we're on so far. Make sure you're following. I

1386
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 2: can suredly tell you we're going over five best bets

1387
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 2: this week and really having fun with that. That Friday

1388
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,360
Speaker 2: night chat is really fun. So we'll get into Dallas

1389
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:55,479
Speaker 2: this Friday night eventually, and we will. We'll do it again.

1390
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 2: We'll try and stay hot. I know there is a
