Hard to believe that we are already in week 31 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:36,439 twelve of the college football season, only two more weeks left of the regular 32 00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:40,280 season, which will wrap up Thanksgiving weekends. You have the coaching carousel in 33 00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:47,039 full full force around the country, coaches getting fired left and right, speculation 34 00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:52,680 about other people, and there's even speculation about a couple of coaches here in 35 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,439 the state of Florida. So you know, you had the Jimbo Fisher firing, 36 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,879 you had the coach at Boise State with let go, Mississippi State's head 37 00:02:59,879 --> 00:03:04,080 coach was let go. A lot of speculation that Chip Kelly at UCLA might 38 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,080 be next on the chopping block, and you have some obviously there's some speculation 39 00:03:08,759 --> 00:03:14,840 chatter about is Billy Napier gonna make it at Florida after they fell again to 40 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,199 LSU, And they've got two more tough games with Missouri and Florida State to 41 00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:23,199 finish out the regular season. So all of our State of Florida teams are 42 00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,560 still Bowl eligible, obviously, Florida State Miami. You have already got to 43 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:30,960 six wins Florida State ten and O, Miami six and four. The remaining 44 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,719 teams Florida UCF, USF, fau FIU all are are in range of a 45 00:03:36,759 --> 00:03:40,240 bowl game either at four or five wins, so all seven Division One teams 46 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,159 in the state have an opportunity to get bowl eligible. To be interesting to 47 00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:47,800 see how that goes here in the next couple of weeks. So as we 48 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,120 get into week twelve again, Florida State has clinched a berth in the ACC 49 00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:57,639 title game. That will be the only team in the state that will be 50 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,400 playing in a championship game setting. The Sevenoles remain at number four in the 51 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:06,520 new college football rankings that came out on Tuesday night. The one change Georgia 52 00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:12,400 goes from two to one. They jump Ohio State, Michigan remains at three, 53 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,199 five is Washington, and six is Oregon. So the only change is 54 00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:21,079 Georgia goes from two to one, which is probably worthy after their impressive wins 55 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:27,360 the last two weeks against Missouri and their blowout of Old miss and the Buckeyes 56 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,560 will have their opportunity here in a couple of weeks. If they can get 57 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,600 through this week, they'll see Michigan next week. Obviously, Michigan remains three, 58 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,360 and then Florida State, who we will start off with, remains at 59 00:04:36,439 --> 00:04:41,319 number four. Florida State Gon moves to ten and oh after a twenty seven 60 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:46,439 to twenty win at home against Miami. Apologize, I have a little bit 61 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,519 of a sore throat and head cold this week, So if I'm a little 62 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:56,319 choppy with the voice, I apologize. But that's part of playing through a 63 00:04:56,319 --> 00:04:59,759 little injury and getting it done for you guys. So but Florida State ten 64 00:04:59,759 --> 00:05:04,199 and oh again a very challenging game with Miami on Saturday in Tallahassee. They 65 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,560 get it done, hang out, not hang on, but they get through 66 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,639 the game twenty seven to twenty. He was a back and forth game throughout. 67 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,079 Florida State had control of the game, allowed Miami to get back in 68 00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,560 the game. Trey Benson rushed his sixteen times eighty yards and two touchdowns. 69 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,920 Jordan Travis nineteen to thirty one for two sixty five in a touchdown. The 70 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:29,680 Miami quarterback Emery Williams played okay and then he got unfortunately, was injured pretty 71 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,639 severely. It looks like he broke his arm left arm on a scramble play 72 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,639 late in the game with about two minutes to go. He was there was 73 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,360 a significant delay in the game. If he didn't see the game live. 74 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,639 There was a delay with about two minutes ago. He converted a fourth down 75 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,199 run to keep the game alive. This was a run heavy game for the 76 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:53,639 Hurricanes. Jacobe George led the Canes with five catches for one fifty three and 77 00:05:53,680 --> 00:06:00,839 two touchdowns and the couple controversial one controversial player. There was a there was 78 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,000 a sack in the end zone of Jordan Travis. To me watching the game 79 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:11,160 live, I thought it was a safety. The officials ruled them down on 80 00:06:11,199 --> 00:06:18,160 the half yard excuse me, half yard vine. They went to replay and 81 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,279 upheld the call. I don't know how they upheld the call. If you 82 00:06:20,319 --> 00:06:25,240 looked at the replay, clearly Jordan Travis is the one that went back into 83 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,439 the end zone. It looked like he was contacted with the ball on the 84 00:06:28,519 --> 00:06:30,240 goal line. The ball did not get out of the end zone and my 85 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,720 view should have been a safety from Miami. Luckily, the two points did 86 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,839 not come back to rooste against Miami because that would have been a brutal way 87 00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:45,240 for that for that to be the exciding factor. Miami was held late in 88 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,959 the game on fourth down. Tyler Van Dyke comes in the game following the 89 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:55,519 Williams injury and through a interception on fourth down in the waning moments there in 90 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,639 the last thirty seconds or so to thwart the Miami drive. But the Seminoles 91 00:06:59,639 --> 00:07:02,720 moved to tenzer again. In my view, have to win the rest of 92 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,000 their games. They got North Alabama and go to Florida and the ACC title 93 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:10,319 game. They're not gonna be in a position to be able to afford a 94 00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:15,279 loss. If you look at Florida State's schedule, all the good teams they've 95 00:07:15,279 --> 00:07:20,360 beaten, LSU, Clemson, Duke, Miami have three or four losses, 96 00:07:20,439 --> 00:07:24,040 so that's not gonna be a good for their resume. Their strength to schedule 97 00:07:24,079 --> 00:07:27,920 is not great. And in the games they were kind of favored heavily to 98 00:07:27,959 --> 00:07:31,800 win Boston College, you know, they won by two points. Obviously, 99 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,120 they struggled a little bit with Miami. They were only up by three points 100 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:41,000 four points against Duke going to the fourth quarter prior to the Riley Leonard injury. 101 00:07:41,199 --> 00:07:44,000 They ended up winning the game by eighteen, but if Leonard stays in 102 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,079 that game, that game is probably a one score game. So Florida State 103 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,399 has no room for margin of ra They've got to win the rest of their 104 00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:54,439 games. I think if they win the rest, they're in. But if 105 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:58,040 they lose to Florida and or the ACC title game, I think they're out. 106 00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:01,160 I don't think they're making the college football playoffs. There's too many other 107 00:08:01,199 --> 00:08:05,000 good teams. There'll be too many other good teams with one loss and a 108 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,639 better resume than Florida State, so imperative for the Knoles not to slip up 109 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:15,000 here. Obviously, you have North Alabama who you should beat. Don't take 110 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,600 the foot off the pedals as the team you gotta go throttle. And then 111 00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:20,040 you obviously have to go to Gainesville Thanksgiving weekend, and then the ACC title 112 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,240 game, which is looking more and more like it looks like it's gonna be 113 00:08:22,279 --> 00:08:26,720 a Louisville team who is really really surprising. They're nine to one. Uh, 114 00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:30,399 They've got some big wins on the year. They've beat U, they've 115 00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:35,600 beaten Clemson, they've beaten Notre Dame, beat Duke really bad. So they 116 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,759 are playing a really good footballer, Jeff Brobb, in year one, so 117 00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:43,000 that will be definitely a challenge. But again Florida State's gotta just keep going 118 00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:48,240 one week at a time and keep working through it. And again that Florida 119 00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:52,440 game could have a ton of motion and drama depending on what happens with the 120 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,440 Gators this week against Missouri. Could Billy Napier be coaching for his job. 121 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,759 We'll get into that here in a little bit we talk about the Gators. 122 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,000 But again, a wins, a wins, a win for Florida State. 123 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,840 You beat your rivals for three straight years. Good job, Mike Norvell, 124 00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:11,399 and again win your games. You gotta win. But again, no margin 125 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,960 for air for the Knowles as we get to the final three weeks for the 126 00:09:15,039 --> 00:09:18,279 Knowles of the regular season and the in the championship game. So Florida State, 127 00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:22,639 we'll see North North Alabama next week on the c W. I think 128 00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:26,120 that's a late late afternoon, early evening game up in Tallahassee. So ten 129 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,759 to oh Florida State will face the North, will face North Alabama. Let's 130 00:09:30,799 --> 00:09:33,799 go to Miami. Obviously, Miami loses twenty seven to twenty FSU six and 131 00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:37,960 four record. Jacolby George five catches, one fifty three to two touchdowns, 132 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,600 played really well. Emery Williams, the freshman quarterback, started the game for 133 00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:45,159 Tyler Vandyke. He played okay. They ran the ball a bunch he was. 134 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,000 He was not very efficient, but he but he played smart, didn't 135 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,440 turn the ball over. Give Miami credit. They played a very, very 136 00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:58,039 competitively and obviously a huge rivalry game. But again every Williams leaves the game 137 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,759 late fourth quarter with a broken arm. Again, hopefully the kid's gonna be 138 00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:05,799 able to be back in three or four months. But it was a you 139 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,000 know, it was obviously it was a it was a bad injury. Immediately 140 00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:11,440 as soon as he went to the ground, they came and put him in 141 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,759 an arm, an air cast and took him out. But again, uh, 142 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,320 be Miami quarterbacking situation has been been there, bugaboo this year. On 143 00:10:18,399 --> 00:10:22,799 offense, they both had high expectations for Tyler van Dijk, just has not 144 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,759 performed very well, consistently performed very well. Uh they played Emery Williams. 145 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,679 So it's gonna be interesting to see what Miami does in the off season at 146 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,360 the quarterback spot. Again, you got to get that spot fixed if you're 147 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:43,480 Miami. Uh as well as the you need some more skill, dynamic skill 148 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,799 guys on offense. They just don't have a lot of dynamic skill on offense. 149 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:50,399 Jacoba George doing a good job, but in any that dynamic wide receiver 150 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,120 at dynamic tight end to get Miami back. And again we talked about the 151 00:10:54,399 --> 00:10:58,000 no call on the safety. Did not end up being the final factor in 152 00:10:58,039 --> 00:11:00,720 the game, but boy could have been had they scored a touchdown there at 153 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:03,799 the end. Miami twenty seven to twenty six. I'm almost sure Crystal Ball 154 00:11:03,799 --> 00:11:07,799 would have gone for two in the win, but didn't. Didn't get to 155 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,120 that point, but I would be shocked that he would not have gone for 156 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,879 two in the win. So again, a good effort by the Canes, 157 00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:20,120 but they fall to six and four. Excuse me, I apologize, cough, 158 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:24,240 just will not go away. They host Louisville next week. They can 159 00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:28,919 be spoilers here again to be a tricky game for Louisville traveling to Miami. 160 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:33,000 Hopefully the Canes will come out with a good effort and play Louisville because again 161 00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:37,000 Louisville's in line to go to the a CC title game. It's still up 162 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,440 in the air, So Miami could be spoilers here a little bit if you're 163 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:46,759 Louisville. Pretty much a dead even game from a point spread perspective as they 164 00:11:46,799 --> 00:11:50,879 head to Miami on Saturday will be a very interesting game there in Miami with 165 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,279 Louisville coming to town. So again six and four, Miami, you gotta 166 00:11:56,279 --> 00:11:58,559 win one of the next two. You can't go six and six if you're 167 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,240 Miami. Figure out a way to in one of the next two games, 168 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,279 and you'll go seven and five at worst. Obviously might be at six and 169 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,000 six, would still go to a bowl game. But you don't want to 170 00:12:07,039 --> 00:12:09,200 go six and six, especially after that four and oh start and then the 171 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,039 calamity that you had in the Georgia Tech game with the clock and all that 172 00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:16,320 stuff. So all right, let's go to Florida. Florida falls to LSU 173 00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:20,759 fifty two to thirty fives, drop to five and five. Graham merch twenty 174 00:12:20,799 --> 00:12:26,200 six and thirty eight three eleven in a touchdown. Travian Trevor ETN eighteen carries 175 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:31,120 ninety nine yards three touchdowns. Great game there. He's obviously taken over the 176 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,919 mantle as being the lead running back. Piersall seven catches one oh three, 177 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,399 but the Florida defense just could not stop Jayde and Daniels. What a performance 178 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,840 by Jayden and Alzheimer seventeen to twenty six, three fifty two or three touchdowns 179 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,799 passing twelve carries two thirty four and two touchdowns on the ground. Hard to 180 00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:50,879 believe that a guy runs for two thirty four on only twelve carries as a 181 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:56,200 quarterback, but that's what happened. Uh. The Florida defense gives up seven 182 00:12:56,279 --> 00:13:01,159 hundred and one yards of offense on only sixty one plays. That is nearly 183 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,840 twelve yards of play, which is an abysmal number. Seven hundred yards on 184 00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:11,279 sixty plays. It's hard to believe. Again, fifty two to thirty five 185 00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:15,440 is the final. Florida will go to Missouri next week and then at home 186 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,279 to Florida State. Missouri is the biggest riser in the College Football playoff rankings. 187 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,399 They moved up to number nine this week, beating Tennessee very convincingly in 188 00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:28,399 Columbia last week. So it would be a very tough, tough, tough 189 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:33,120 outing for Florida on the road in Missouri, who's playing super really really well 190 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:37,840 with Eli drinkwitzen company, and that program has really really turned it around this 191 00:13:37,919 --> 00:13:41,320 year. This is a danger time for Billy Napier. If you lose to 192 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,639 Missouri and you lose to Florida State, you better not get blown out in 193 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:48,679 both games, because if you get blown out in both of these games, 194 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,759 there will be some serious questions and some and some discussion, I believe in 195 00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:56,720 Gainesville about the future of Billy Napier. You don't have to win these games, 196 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,919 but you better not get man handled and beat ultra convincingly in both these 197 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:07,200 games. Losing five in a row again. I know lots of people are 198 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,240 talking about BILLI Napier, the recruiting class coming in and all that good stuff, 199 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,240 and that's that's great, But boy, that Florida fan base if you 200 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:18,720 lose five in a row and getting just destroyed again. They got beat soundly 201 00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:24,639 by Georgia, they got thumped here by LSU again. If and they lost 202 00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:26,679 to Arkansas for the first time ever at Florida, If they lose at Missouri 203 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,960 convincingly and then get beat soundly by Florida State, that is not gonna be 204 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:37,480 a great holiday weekend for Billy Napier and that coaching staff in Gainesville. So 205 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,879 again, merch has done a good job at quarterback again, just not the 206 00:14:41,919 --> 00:14:46,639 defensive efforts not been great. Not enough skill guys on offense as far as 207 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:52,799 dynamic skill guys again, will they give Billy Napier a third year? I 208 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,600 think so, But I think if they get blown out into these next two, 209 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,879 there will be some serious discussions about potentially make gonna move. So stay 210 00:15:01,919 --> 00:15:05,200 tuned to that. But again, if you're Florida, if you can figure 211 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,159 out a way to win one of the next two year Bowl eligible, which 212 00:15:09,159 --> 00:15:13,679 will be important, just if anything, just to give yourself some more practice 213 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,279 time to more practice with these younger guys. But you know, you know, 214 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,399 I know the Florida fan base is not happy with giving up fifty two, 215 00:15:20,559 --> 00:15:26,440 getting manhandled by Georgia, giving up a ton of points to Arkansas. 216 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:31,080 But we'll see obviously next year if they do retain BILLI Napier, next year 217 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:35,679 will be a very much a make or break at year I think for Billy. 218 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,480 But we'll see. But again, do not get blown out Billy Napier 219 00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:43,200 in these next two where there could be some serious problems for you and the 220 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,600 coaching staff in Gainesville. Because we know that Florida, Florida is not afraid 221 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:52,360 to pull the trigger. There's there's an argument to be made about patience. 222 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,159 But again, if you lose five in a row and you're getting blown out 223 00:15:54,159 --> 00:15:58,279 in four of those five games. That's gonna be hard to defend to that 224 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:03,440 Florida fan base. Uh, coming to Thanksgiving weekend. So all right, 225 00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:07,000 Central Florida with a big, big win at home against Oklahoma State thumps Oklahoma 226 00:16:07,039 --> 00:16:11,480 State forty five to three in the rain. A great job by Gus Malzon 227 00:16:11,559 --> 00:16:15,639 to getting five and five plumbly eight eleven of eighteen two ninety nine and three 228 00:16:15,679 --> 00:16:19,519 touchdowns. RJ. Harvey had a tremendous game twenty four carries, two oh 229 00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:22,840 six and three touchdowns, five hundred and ninety two yards of total offense. 230 00:16:25,399 --> 00:16:27,360 Just the kind of game you're looking for if you're Gus Malzon beating a very 231 00:16:27,399 --> 00:16:32,799 good Oklahoma State team who had just beaten Oklahoma. They brought him into your 232 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:37,559 house, in the bounce house. They got, took care of business rainy 233 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,519 conditions, which again that that doesn't help anybody but Florida UCF before the rains 234 00:16:42,559 --> 00:16:47,279 came was man handling Oklahoma State from the get go. They dominated the game 235 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,600 and great job winning forty five to three at home. They go to Texas 236 00:16:51,679 --> 00:16:55,120 Tech will beat which will be a tricky game this week. Texas Tech beat 237 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,919 Kansas on the road last week. So again it'll be a tricky road trip 238 00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:03,080 for my guy, Matt Herschelle from the Atlanto Sentinel you've heard on this podcast 239 00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:08,039 as he heads out to Leuwock to cover the UCF Texas Tech game. But 240 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,920 again, good job by UCF. Gotta win one of the next two to 241 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,960 get Bowl eligible. Again, it will be a good, good, good 242 00:17:15,039 --> 00:17:18,759 job by Malzon if you can get Bowl eligible. A little bit of chatter, 243 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:23,680 will Sam Pittman and Arkansas be relieved of his duties and could potentially Gus 244 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:29,599 Malzon be a candidate for that job? Obviously Malzon has some major Arkansas high 245 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:34,000 school roots. He's been in discussion or he's been a name to be mentioned 246 00:17:34,519 --> 00:17:38,400 in the previous Arkansas coaching hire. She'll be interesting to see if Arkansas's job 247 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,200 opens, would Gus Malzon be a candidate and if so, would he be 248 00:17:42,279 --> 00:17:45,480 a serious candidate to take the job. If he was off for the job, 249 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,200 We'll wait and see how that. But again, UCF goes to five 250 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,640 and five, heads to Texas Tech on Saturday. All right, USF. 251 00:17:53,039 --> 00:17:56,720 They moved to five and five with a twenty seven to twenty three win over 252 00:17:56,759 --> 00:18:02,039 Temple. Byron Brown eighteen of twenty six three eighteen Shawn Atkins nine catches for 253 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:07,279 one sixty nine, all time leading pass catcher in USF history, So great 254 00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:11,759 accomplishment for Sewn, who is a former walk on. USF will go to 255 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:17,279 UTSA on Friday, San Antonio, San Antonio six and oho in the conference, 256 00:18:17,279 --> 00:18:22,359 so a tough test for the Bulls against the road runners again the USS 257 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,440 five and five. They have Charlotte next week, which is a very winnable 258 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,559 game to get the ball eligible. Will be a tough game this week on 259 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:33,359 Friday night National TV at UTSA, So we'll see if the Bulls can, 260 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:38,200 especially defensively, if they can handle the UTSA offense, who again has been 261 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,079 six and oh in the conference. Buying for a conference title. Will be 262 00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:47,440 a tough game for the Bulls on the road in San Antonio. So all 263 00:18:47,519 --> 00:18:51,279 right, FAU drops to four and six, lose to East Carolina twenty two 264 00:18:51,319 --> 00:18:53,799 to seven. It's a bad loss for FAU. East Carolina came into the 265 00:18:53,799 --> 00:18:57,319 game one to eight. They lost the game at home twenty two to seven. 266 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,839 Not a great job on all offense, one hundred and seventy two total 267 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:06,119 yards, four of seventeen on third down, just that. That's a bad 268 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:08,359 loss for Tom Herman in the in the in the Owls, it's a game 269 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,000 you gotta win. You could have you would have been five and five. 270 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,519 Now FAU has to win the last two to get Bowl eligible. They have 271 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:19,759 two Lane at home this week. Who's six and oh in the conference, 272 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,599 So doesn't look look great. The two lanes has been a little vulnerable in 273 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,759 the last couple of weeks. If you watch two lane play, they've been 274 00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:30,920 a lot of close games. So maybe Tom Herman, the Giant Killer remember 275 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,599 back in his days at Houston, could pull off a stunner here at home 276 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,559 in down in Boca. But again, bad loss for the Panther for the 277 00:19:37,559 --> 00:19:41,599 Owls. Drop to four and six. We'll have to win the last two 278 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,039 to get Bowl eligible. Last, but not least, FIU drops to four 279 00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:49,240 and six. They lose to Middle Tennessee forty to six. Middle Tennessee came 280 00:19:49,279 --> 00:19:52,240 in at two and seven, So again that's not a great loss. Not 281 00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:55,960 that you lose the game, but that she gets manhandled the way you do 282 00:19:56,039 --> 00:20:00,960 it. Forty to six rivers the receiver five catches for fifty eight yards. 283 00:20:00,039 --> 00:20:04,720 Keon Jenkins twenty two or thirty five for two twenty six, so not at 284 00:20:06,039 --> 00:20:08,839 not a great showing. There. Breaking news on Tuesday, their center, 285 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,359 the FIU Center, has was announced that he's being suspended for a year because 286 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:19,039 he failed a drug test took an illegal supplement. So again college. The 287 00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:22,599 suspension is one year, so a blow to the FIU offensive line, to 288 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,279 their starting center. He's gonna be suspended for one calendar year due to his 289 00:20:27,319 --> 00:20:30,640 failed drug test. So again, FIU will have to win the last two 290 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:36,640 to get beeligible. Probably not gonna happen, but we will see. Uh 291 00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:41,480 So, there's your recap and preview of the Florida Football State of Florida teams. 292 00:20:41,519 --> 00:20:45,000 Again, big news is Florida State still number four in the rankings. 293 00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:48,920 Again half to me, they have to win the rest of their games. 294 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,880 They don't have any room for air. One lost, Florida State's not gonna 295 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:56,160 be in the playoff, but if they run the table, I'm pretty sure 296 00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,640 that they're gonna make it.
