Big Twelve breakdown Tide. We'll jon't stop. Chritz's here with you with Hey
Coffrey hits. We look around at the Big Twelve conference and we begin as
we always do with our Big Twelve hot takes. Tom, we're two weeks
in. Uh, what's your what's your hot take this week? Jones?
I think I'm gonna have to stick with it. Let me just take a
look, though. I want to go us here again for a hot take.
First, I have mine. If you're if you're still needing a minute
to confirm yours, Yeah, go ahead, all right? My hot take
this week. I said it before the season. I'll say it again as
much as it pains me to say, trust me, it does Tom.
Uh. And we can check the tape back on this later. Texas is
back what they did to Alabama, and that's a good Alabama team. I
mean, I know that mill Road didn't play great quarterback, but they are
good everywhere else and Texas was the better team. They bullied them at the
line of scrimmage. Quinn Ewers was was really good. I thought Xavier Worthy
was the best player on the field. Texas is legit. They're one of
the most talented teams in the country. They are here to compete, not
just for the Big Twelve, but for the national title as well. Watch
out, Texas is back and they just put not just the Big Twelve,
but the nation on notice. That's my hot take this week. Tom,
all right, I got, I've got. We won't go oh shoe this
time. I think oh I sho covers the seven points spread against South Alabama
at home. Oh firing. That's not a hot take. Maybe it is
for some of you. Here's one though, Well, here's here's two parts.
B Yu goes into Fairville and they beat the Hogs. Oh the Mormons.
The Mormons are going on a mission in Fairville, and they're gonna deliver.
They're gonna deliver an asshop and the word of Joseph Smith. No I'm
not, I'm kidding, not an asshep. But I think they I'm gonna
say they win. I think Wyoming has it out for the Texas teams.
And I think Wyoming covers in Austin. Do you think Texas do for a
little letdown after that battle win? I think I think it's gonna be a
little hangover. I think I think Wyoming plays it within seventeen line is twenty
nine and a half. I think Wyoming scares early, Texas ends up winning
by like maybe sixteen seventeen points. Okay, you mentioned BYU. Uh here's
where I'll at would be Yu Tom only in fourteen nothing Week one, defense
obviously played good. The next week they play Southern Utah. They give up
sixteen points, but they score forty one. I don't know about by US
offense. Uh. You know Slovist their quarterback. He's throwing for nearly five
hundred yards and four touchdowns. I don't know what offense is gonna show up
for BYU. If they if they play like they did last week, if
granted with Southern Utah, then they have it. They have a chance.
But I don't know if they have the offense they hang with kJ Jefferson and
the Hogs like that, I think they get up for I think they I
think BYU just one of those scenes that play downs to their opponents. I
think I think, Like I said, it's a hot take, and I'm
you know, I'm not betting any money. I'll brag about it. If
I'm right, we won't talk about it next week. If I'm wrong,
right, But give me give me the Mormons too upset the Okay peaks in.
I like that. I like that. Tom. Let's go through the
Big twelve slate this week beginning right and early, first thing in the morning.
KSE State, Missoo, k States two and L they put really good
through the first two weeks. Well, Howard's been fantastic, the defense has
been strong. Massoo is just awful. Eat. Why Drinkwitz can't coach hopefully
anticipate k State walking into combo and just beating the crap out of Missoo.
Here, this is your this is this game for you is like my ou
Texas. But I will gladly root for KSE State over Missoo in this game.
Though. Okay, there you go. That's that's fair. That's the
answer I was looking for. Yeah, I think. And I'm nervous for
KSE State in like two weeks to come to still Water and what bo she's
asked, because I think that's some of the osh's first lost. But I
think that's one thing we're gonna see from KSE State, And they did that
last year. Of the teams they face like it's not just wins, they
stack up. They show up with a cannle whoop ass, Yeah, I'm
afraid unfortunately Long Out Island and Baylor. Baylor's open two had a chance against
Utah last week. Blake Shaping obviously is out for a bit, you know,
but awful against Texas attack in Texas State. Tim, I don't know
if a team that's more excited ever to face an FCS opponent than Baylor is
after they're rough starter. Oh and how degrading that loss at the end must
have been to Utah. I'm not gonna say Long Island's gonna win. For
what it's worth and for the beef I have with Baylor, I hope Long
Island does win. They weren't done. I hope they do, though,
I'll be rooting for Long Island. I'll be honest. I didn't even know
Long Island played football Iowa State and Ohio. Iowa State last week showed no
life offensively against Iowa. They kind of made it an interesting game in the
second half of losing twenty and thirteen. But now you play Ohio on the
road, Iowa State's only favored by three. Here. We've seen some of
these trap games before already in the league. Tom, I don't think I
always states very good. I wouldn't be sleeping on Ohio if I'm on the
state here. M h, I'm gonna sleep on Ohio. I like Iowa
State to go ahead and get it done. Okay, Oh You coming to
Tulsa to play Tulsa basically gonna be a home game for the Sooners. They're
in the nine one eight, Oh You coming off a game against stm U.
They didn't play their best offensively, they finished strong. Obviously. There
was some controversy after the game with Art Briles showing up and how Jeff Levy
responded and all that, and I mean, I thought Jeff Levy handled that
very poorly. It was pretty cut and dry in his contract that Arts not
supposed to be around, and that's pretty bad look for Oh You to have
our Briles there. And you know, it'd be one thing if if Jeff
Levy was doing a kick ass job and he says, you know, hey,
I can do whatever I want. But Jeff Levy's not doing that great
of a job and trying to bring our brows around, I thought looked pretty
pathetic. But with that said, Dylan Gayriels had some flashes. The offense
has been great. One week and just kind of average. Last week.
Defenses looked really good through two weeks. You had the Tulsa here. I
think last week Tom, I would guess, would be a wake up call.
Tu just doesn't have a ton of talent on that roster. There's no
reason why you should be able to blow the doors off to you here.
Is it gonna be as bad as Arkansas? Say No, to you did
put up a little bit of points on Washington, not minuting. I think
they put them out. I guess ten ten, But I mean it wasn't
a horrible game for to you, and that they played in Washington doesn't really
matter. Like you said though, because it's a home game for or for
ou, I like to you to make it not interesting. But I think
to you, do you think to you puts up at least ten points?
I would put no more than ten. Well that's fair enough, I'd say.
I'd say if they score two touchdowns to use happy, let's go through.
Uh the rest of these. Some of these a little quicker than others
UCF Villanova, UCF two it all quarterback down taking out an FCS school.
I'd be more intrigued with this if it was a basketball game. But even
with UCF short a quarterback here, they should put away Villanova just fine.
Yeah, I mean yeah, bounce House. Maybe Cincinnati taking a Miami of
Ohio. This is a very good rivalry game. Actually that has still continued
on. But I gotta say, Tom, I've been very surprised with Cincinnati
two and oh Emery Jones is playing fantastic close to five yards, seven touchdowns.
Cincinnati off to a good start, and I bet you they're already looking
their chops at h they're big twelve opener next week when they'll know you,
Oh you think they were? I mean for sure. I mean they did
beat Pitt last week. Good start for them. They should handle business.
Always shot in South Alabama? Who's always you started quarterback? Tom? Who
needs to be the guy man? Honestly, here's the deal, And this
is a whole different deal for a different day too. But conspiracy theory,
Gundy is running Ali Gordon more plays to make Gunner Gundy's offense look better than
the rest of them as a nepotism conspiracy. Probably by the end of the
season work I'm not kidding the under Gunner gund he will probably be the starting
quarterback because Gunde's says done, if you don't want to be fired, you'll
call the better plays when my son's in. It's it's a fucking nepotism conspiracy.
It's bullshit. Wrangle has looked the best best ball less under pressure,
Gundy is Gundy is setting his kid up for to make it look like he's
the best quarterback. Oh, that's and using this quarterback competition as oh,
I didn't pick my kid. I didn't see the conversation going there. But
you know what you want next to make a little bit of sense there,
it's outs. I think that's what's happening. Os Us only a seven point
favorite by it till them's not horrible knowing Casey Dunne will win by ten tack
and Tarleton State. Uh, I didn't Texas similar boat to Baylor. They
had never been more thrilled to be facing an FCS suppotent in this circumstance.
Very much a must win game, and I'll say I was impressed. They
held their own with Oregan last week. They had a chance to win that
game. They didn't know much the same way Baylor didn't. So you know,
I'm sure they'll win this game. But you know all if they you
know, if they don't, then cause for concern for for that whole staff
we talked about by U Arkansas earlier. Pitt in West Virginia, West Virginia,
Mauth and Mama take me Home Country Roads pitch. Losing last week to
Cincinnati, West Virginia losing the week prior to Penn States backyard Brawl is a
very good game. I think this should be competitive. But selfishly, Tom,
what I'm If I were to root against any Big twelve team this week,
I would if I were a West Virginia fan this week, I would
almost be wanting to can't to just go ahead and slaughter West Virginia and take
that program out of their missoury and get rid of Neil Brown already the Bruce
Weber effect. Yes, I mean yeah, I do think West Virginia is
gonna get the dub though their favorite by point and a half. It is
in Morgantown. Games at night in Morgantown. It's not cold, It's probably
gonna feel oh man, it's gonna be jacking off weather. To be honest,
I mean, I'm jealous. I can I can feel that Cris Bear
and that moonshine. Baby, that's jacking off. Whether I don't care who
you are, Wow, give me, give me the mountaineers, baby,
I'm rolling im. That's the analysis people come to this show for right there,
jacking off. Whether can you imagine Travis Meyer said, Hey, ladies
and gentlemen, Uh, you don't need a light jacket. You don't even
need pet jeans. You know you can you have a light jacket, but
the only jacket you need is the jacking off. Whether you'll get downtown Tulsa
tonight, stop stop, you know you're killing me. I could be I
could be an NSFW meteorologist. I'd be Texas Wilming. We talked about We
said that we expect Texas to uh you said, you think Wildman keeps it
a little more interesting. I think Texas gonna pick up from where they left
off last week. TCU and Houston, the first conference game of the year,
two old Southwest Conference foes game is at Houston. TCU. Houston's bad
TCU is only a seven a half point favorite. I think this is the
lock of the week, block of the century. Tc should be able to
blow the doors off Houston. Yeah, put your fucking paycheck down. Houston's
horrible. Houston. Houston is I mean Rice, don't get me wrong,
like Houston. B U t s a at home by three and then took
it to two ots versus Rice. If TCU doesn't bend him over, then
Sony Docks has got some questions to answer if he's a fluke. Kn't you
going all the way to Nevada? Nevada by the way, your cop.
If you call it Nevada, that's like calling Mazzio's. It's Mazzio's, not
Nevada. It's Nevada, bitch. I think my dad calls it Nevada.
But does he call it Rece's or Reese's. Yeah, it's yeah. If
you call it Rece's and you say Nevada and Mazzio's, you're going to hell.
Uh. My dad also says Colorado. There's not an a at the
end of that, right. Does he say wash or wash? He says
wash? Okay, Okay, he's still respectful human being. Okay for now,
Gay, you at a great start last week, didn't necessarily finished well,
but they I think beat Illinois better than what that final score indicated.
Nevada is not a good team there, and to kus favored by four touchdowns.
I think there's gonna be some people watching this game because it's so late
at night. I expect Tom we see the Jaylen Daniels show. I think
he goes off in prime time here. Well, I think he's probably gonna
play the first two halts and then Jason Bean's gonna come in, because let's
be serious. Idaho, the Idaho Vandals, the Kibbie Dome. Idaho Vandals
beat Nevada last week thirty three six, and they're in the Nevada Nevada.
Nevada got that ass What from USC is uh Isha Norvelle, the old ou
coach. Still they're head coach in Nevada there. I don't know. Did
Norville used to coach the Chargers. Let's see quick Google's trying to think.
I think he did have a small stint. Was San Diego Nevada football?
Oh No, Norville's gone. It's Ken Wilson. Yeah, that sounds like
that sounds like some old jobo off the street, Ken Wilson serving those Kim's
pizzas at Mazio's. Yeah, he would where else. He's been previously assistant
at Nevada for nineteen seasons. So he's no stranger. He's not a very
good coach so far. He definitely call it Mazzio's Yeah he would, and
you know, does Ku. I think, K you could win this game
by the first half and then go straight south and you know, maybe have
a time in Vegas before taking a spirit airline fight back to Lawrence. Then
Reno is a little far from Vegas. Maybe they go late, maybe they
go like Tahoe or something, you know, for you know, listen,
Nevada is so bad that you know they have os us old quarterbacks Shane Illingworth
and he's not even the starter really, so he has surprise. I don't
think he even played last game. So if if now, I will say
it would be a little funny if K you somehow dropped this game. I
know you wouldn't think that's funny. But this, I think, is this
your Is this your spooky game of the week. No, it shouldn't be.
It's not in Lubbock. It is a late game though, but Jaylen
Daniels him and his uh you know, Apple Watch Chane, they should be
okay, okay, uh Hitley Lewis sets to join us next. Don't go
anywhere, join us now, Jone Sport this week making return. It's been
a long time, but we're pleased to welcome back the one and only,
the very talented Haley Lewis is here with us now with Big twelve Now and
ESPN Plus hosting their weekly Big twelve show, Big What Weekly also did work
with the Casey Sports Network and many other things as well as she joins us
right now. Hayley, I know it's it's been a minute, but uh,
please to welcome you back. And it sounds like you got some exciting
things going on these days. Tyler, what an intro. I should always
be a guest on your show. I didn't know that. Yeah, hype
does up so much. I always appreciate you having me on. And yeah,
like you said, life's busy and it's it's crazy like we're already in
Week three of college football, going into week to the NFL and trying to
keep our heads on. I'm sure you are too, but appreciate you having
me on. Always fun to shout with you, of course, Haley.
Let's let's get started first and foremost with the Big twelve side of things.
With this gig you're going on with Big twelve Now, an ESPN plaw What's
what's going on with that show? And how can people watch? Yeah?
Yeah, so it's on. It's on ESPN Plus every single Tuesday night at
five pm. We break down everything going on around the Big Twelve, which
is a lot right now with all the conference realignment tuner schools are two schools
leaving next year and four more coming in and then of course the freshman four
who are here now. So every single week, like I said, Tuesday's
five pm, ESPM Plus you can catch the show. We break down everything
going on in the Big twelve conference, the craziness, the dramatic heartbreaks,
the good drama and the bad drama. Right, so it's a lot of
fun. Yeah, and the big story this week, of course Texas getting
that win over raveled Baba right on the road. What a performance from the
long Wards in particular what they did in that second half to get that road
win. Dude, quick quick, Yours is the real deal, And I
think that kind of sealed the deal. I know it's really early in the
season, there's a lot more to prove, but you know, I think
Tyler, the biggest thing going into that one or into the season was the
fact that could Texas really live up to all that preseason hype? And I
think we saw it. You know, they took down Bama, they snapped
their winning streak at home, and I think especially against non conference schools and
the ability for Texas to be able to do that capitalize on the players that
they have. I mean, I think this is probably one of the best
rosters they put together in years. And it really was all about yours coming
back this season with a new mindset, a new haircuts, a new mindset,
a new diet. All of that stuff followed as well, and we
got to see it pan out. You know, they are the team right
now. If you're not looking outside of the conference, they're the team right
now to beat. Oh yeah, incredible what they did. And the question
I had about Texas going in this year, Haley was you saw the roster
and they were as talented as any team in America other than maybe Georgia entering
this year. But right Snark put it together. Could the Texas ego we
overcome? And I was very impressed with Sark and net coaching staff the way
that they handled that game and came in with just a great game play at
for Alabama last week. Yeah, Sarkisians, He's done an amazing job with
the talent he has, and you kind of alluded to it in beginning there.
This is a team that it came back with one of the most talented,
the biggest depth. You know, a lot of people were talking about
the return of other schools, the return of like TCU, a team who
had gone all the way to that national stage, but they just they didn't
have the depth that returned and also the star studded coaching staff that has not
only the experience with the years with this team, and so I think this
is really the best team they've been able to put together in the last couple
of years, especially under Sarkeesian's tenure there so far. And they have the
depth, they have, the talent, they have the veteran leadership. It's
just really gonna be and they perform in those clutch key moments when they come
up against big schools because they have a they have a hard sligh ahead.
And I think that they proved that with Bama again on a national stage.
It's pretty much up from here if they can just keep proving what they already
have. Hayley lewis joining us here of Big twelve. Now. An ESPN
pluss of the Kesey Sports Network is that we're talking Big twelve football here Texas
with a big win over Alabama last week, and now with Quinn Ewer's there,
and and I gotta tell you we mentioned Sark and him overcoming pressure,
Hayley, what about Quinn here of a year or two so number one overall
player and arch Manning waiting in the wings here. Yeah, I was impressed
of how well he dealt with just so much pressure. All eyes on Quinn
you Er, there's I can't imagine there's too short of a leash either with
not just arts there, but Malike Burphy, who had a good off season
right right, And I think the pressure he felt it, he got down,
you know, and he did what he needed to do during the off
season. He's talked a lot about that in interviews, especially with the media.
You know, he cut the hair, right, he changed his entire
diet. He studied the deep playbook that Texas has on their offense and really
dug into it because I think he felt the pressure. And what makes an
athlete elite is not necessarily their talent, but how they perform under that kind
of pressure. He had a target on his back, not only from the
nation looking in on him, but also from people running to get his job,
and he performed well. You know, it was Week two last year
against Bama where they had that heartbreaker of a loss and he got hurt in
that one and then able to rehab and come back this year a whole new
person. So the ability to perform under pressure from outside perspectives, also from
your own team, and just knowing that you have people chasing you down for
your own job, that's what makes someone elites. And I think he proved
that because last time or last year, we saw there were times where he
looked like this, you know, Heisman winning quarterback, and then other times
where he just kind of looked lost. And I haven't seen that side of
him this year at all. He's been lights out. Oh, he certainly
has. I've been very impressed, for sure. So enough about Texas.
What about some of the other teams in the league. Who's grabbed your eyes
so far through two weeks, Hayley, I mean, you always gotta look,
who's grabbed my eye in a bad way? Let me tell you,
I just can't I can't get over with Baylor. What's going on there?
It's bad. I mean, you feel bad for them going owen two.
It's like the first game, especially the Texas State upset. You you're excited
for Texas State and what they're able to pull off, but one of the
worst losses the Baylor Bears have had in the past decade, and just it's
heartbreaking to see, and you know they're definitely on the hot seat going into
this next week and then the Utes. You know, Utah's coming into the
conference next year. We know they're good, and they just allowed him to
creep back into that game and end up losing that one a while as well,
So I think I hate stayed in a negative way, but eyes are
on the Baylor Bears and how they respond because we tall t TU. You
know, they had a hard, heartbreaking loss to Colorado, but we realized
Colorado is extremely talented after watching them for two weeks. So CCU bounces back
easy in Week two. No concerns there. They're gonna be a team that
that regrows that depth, you know, kind of bolsters up again and they're
gonna be in that college football playoff conversation yet again. But I kind of
got my eyes also on BYU, one of the newcomers. If they can
really pull it together and be as talented as they have the potential to be.
Their defense is gritty. They look good. But since he also looks
good, you know, Scott Satterfield's got his team rolling, rolling there,
and I'm trying to think of the other ones that really stand out. UCF
has their quarterback out, Plumble is now now hurt for a couple of weeks.
But yeah, Baylor is really the biggest one on my radar. They're
using a backup quarterback and they got men down, They're on the hot seat.
How do they respond because it's a hard conference to play in. You
know, OU is always rolling and OUs showing that again that they're probably gonna
be a really hard team to beat Texas you know, of course, and
a lot of time talking about them. TCU will always be TCU, and
I think they're going to prove that they can continue to be at that top
tier level. So it's really how does the rest of the pack, or
excuse me, how does the rest of the Big twelve shake out? And
I think we're gonna see I think we're gonna see that because they don't have
much time to get it together before whole four new schools come in and shake
things up again. Yeah, you mentioned Oklahoma there and the OU team through
two weeks. I don't know how you feel, Haley, but I feel
like I still don't know who they are. They looked incredible week one,
but then last week the offense was so lethargic get going. We know they
got talent, Dylan Gabriel and some of the players there. I would say
the biggest pots will throw you is that their defense has held up these last
two weeks when they've had so many issues with that defense over the years.
I think that's the best way to say it. You know, you got
to have coach who's defensive minded, and the defense has been able to roll
when the offense can't get going. When you just said it that Gabriel has
been good enough but not great. Their offense has not hit that perfect rhythm.
And I mean when you have turnovers and penalties, Yeah, it's gonna
happen. You're not gonna be able to get in that perfect rhythm. So,
oh you is always going to be talented. They're they're always a good
program. Last year, you know, we saw them start out great and
then have some hiccups going on this year. Again, they haven't played anyone
worth you know, saying would be would be give them an actual fight or
run for their money. But the defense holds up. You know, they
got stutsmen on their side, and he had a heck of a game last
week. And we'll just have to see how things shake out, because if
they can't get that offense rolling, as we know, even with championship caliber
defenses in the NFL, you can't maintain enough production or outdo what a firing
offense will be able to do in the Big twelve, it's just too much
chicken bat if your offense can't get rolling. Oh absolutely, Hayley, I
gotta ask you about my jay Hawks. I was impressed with what they did
on fronts Illinois. I don't think that score was indicative of how much they
dominated that game to three quarters, the kind of you know, let off
the gas there in that second half. But you know, jay Len Daniels
making his season debut was phenomenal, Devin Neil ran the ball well, defense
was good for that first half. Lance Livehol once again looks like he's got
a really good team there and Lawrence. Yeah, the culture shift. Man,
It's just insane what he's been able to do. And he came in
and we know this right off the bat. He made that call, a
very tough call with a few players who were in a disciplinary situation, and
he put his boot down and he made it clear to the team that the
culture was going to change. And I think that's one of the best things
he ever did, because the culture has changed at Kansas and that was huge
point of emphasis when he took over that program. I know there was a
couple of disciplinary issues early on, and he put his boot down and he
made a statement, and so far everyone has followed and fallen in line,
and you can see him paying off on the field because he has changed the
culture and changed how things happen for Kansas football. And now the national media
is talking about him. You know, they're talking about Kansas like Kansas is
the real deal, this is the this is not the basketball program only kind
of team. And you mentioned Jayln Daniels coming back. That was incredible to
see him return after not playing since all the way back in what December of
last year. And then I thought it was cool to see the little trickery
that they played on that first series. They put Jaylen Daniels and Jason Bean
in the same and Bean was playing as his tailback. I believe, so
pretty cool to see. This team is definitely gonna be hard to beat.
You were right about Illinois. They let him creep back in. That score
does not reflect how much they dominated that game. And Devin Neil good Lord
have a day, I mean have a season, honestly, so, so
this is definitely a team you need to keep your eyes on. I'm extually
surprised I didn't bring that up when you asked me who was watching or who
to watch in the Big Twelve, because I'm trying not to be too much
of a homer. Being based in Kansas City, I have no ties to
the University of Kansas, but it's hard not to get hyped about the Jayhawks
because of what they've been able to put together last year. Everything obviously stalted
or halted after they played TCU kind of kind of killed the momentum, especially
when Daniels wasn't able to play, but they got all the missing pieces back.
I think this is a team that's going to be hard to beat.
You know, Haley, I know that Belmont. Uh, you know isn't
much of a you know, doesn't have a football program. You can come
over to our side. You know, we would walk give you in if
you want to. You join the family with the Jayhawks. Here. You're
board and welcome to come on board. I appreciate it. Uh. Let
me ask you about the other team in the sud Flower State u K State.
They've looked real cood through two weeks and the ranting Big twelve champions.
Will Howard is back, Chris Clem and doing a great job. I mean,
nothing but positives. I can only imagine from what they've done for two
weeks here. Yeah, they've been incredible as well. Well how were coming
back. That was just a huge, a huge move to have a senior
and leadership and his knowledge of the offensive playbook be able to rejoin with the
Cats this year, and then to see what they were able to do,
you know, Big twelve champs last year, being able to take TSU down
to the wire and being able to gut out that win. Just this is
a team that I talked so much about culture when I was talking about Kansas,
but also Klemman's been able to change the culture in Manhattan as well.
And what they've been able to do with their program is so impressive. In
case they's electric, you know they have they have all the tools. It's
just gonna and they brought again, they had the leadership, they brought in
the depth again. So they're they're rolling. It's really can they pick up
where they left off? Can they keep that momentum rolling? Now they have
a test of Miszoo ahead. Now I'm not saying Missoo is going to be
the hardest test in the world. I think that they're gonna roll over the
Tigers in Como, which is I think it's also odd. It's the first
time they're going there since twenty ten. They played them obviously last year,
but they haven't been to Como. So it's gonna be a fun game.
But but Case State again is one of those teams that could really take off.
It's just gonna get into a little bit of conference play for me to
give you more of an opinion. But but Case State again returns the depth,
they have, the veteran leadership and the coaching staff. I mean,
their offensive coordinator, his quarterback mind is just it will blow your mind the
things he will say sometimes I'm like, can you can you slow that down?
I need to rewatch that interview because he's just so his football IQ is
so high. They really have a lot of talent on that roster and their
coaching staff. Hey Ley, last thing on the Big Twelve here and then
we can move on this week's slight. I know it's not the best,
but by any means watch there are some things that that intriggue me. You
know, you have your first conference game of the year with TCU and Houston.
You mentioned that case State the Zoo matchup. There an old Big Twelve
rivalry, and then pitt in West Virginia Reno the yard role in high stakes
for Neil Brown in this upcoming game. What are you looking forward to with
these these marquee games here this week? I mean, I'm definitely I got
my eyes on Villanova UCS because plum Lee being out John Rice plum Lee is
out with an injury, so that's going to be interesting how the Knights respond.
Definitely gotta watch Canada or excuse me, Canada, what am I even
talking about. I'm looking at a flag as I'm driving. I just it
was burned out. The first thing that came to mind Nevada, not to
be confused with the country of Canada. Nevada and Kansas. That's that's you
know, Kansas is going on the road for the first time, so that's
going to be a good test for them to see how they are able to
respond. You mentioned the backyard brawl. That's always gonna be fun. I
mean, we'd love those types of things. A lot of rivalries happened last
week. Some more new rivalries are happening this week as well. But that's
that's that's really what my eyes are on. And then Baylor, they have
a chance against Long Island. It's an FCS team. Can they bounce back,
for the love of you, hope so, but I'm definitely gonna be
watching that game to hopefully see if they can get a little bit of juice,
a little bit of momentum as they power into into potentially Week four.
Yeah, great point, Arkansas. Arkansas is playing BYU that one also,
that's a big one. I think. Yes, Arkansas just over a touchdown
favorite in that game at home against by U. By US offense hasn't looked
great the last couple of weeks. Defenses look good. We'll see how they
all. Yeah, Haley. Tell people where they can find all the stuff
you're doing. I mean, we mentioned the Big twelve show, but you
get the stuff with Casey Sports Network. Where can people fallow along and catch
