Smarter as always appreciate very very much their support. But

40
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,599
you know it was a weird wacky week in Texas

41
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,280
based college football.

42
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: This week you.

43
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:48,039
Speaker 1: Had some unbeatens rolling into their games with different expectations,

44
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:53,759
maybe different goals. But we had of course Texas A

45
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:59,360
and M unbeaten. We had the North Texas Mean Green unbeaten,

46
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:02,960
and then we had some some other other teams of

47
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,919
course here around the state that are are having good

48
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,159
seasons but didn't know what to really expect rolling into

49
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:14,840
their games. TCU, SMU Baylor, of course don't want to

50
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,080
leave out Texas Tech as the unbeatens as well. We're

51
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,199
gonna get into a lot of Texas Tech talk. Let's

52
00:03:20,199 --> 00:03:24,360
talk about the teams though that did not fare very well,

53
00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:28,759
and we'll start with the TCU horn Frogs as their

54
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,759
high flying offense was grounded by Kansas State's defense in

55
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,840
a forty one to twenty eight stunner. As for the

56
00:03:36,879 --> 00:03:39,759
second straight week, the TCU horn Frogs found their rhythm

57
00:03:39,759 --> 00:03:43,080
too late in the game. Despite a monster performance from

58
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,439
quarterback Josh Hoover, the Frogs fell forty one to twenty

59
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:51,719
eight to KSE stay on Saturday afternoon. What did them

60
00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:57,159
in turnovers and a relentless Wildcats defense that scored twice

61
00:03:57,719 --> 00:04:00,000
so Hoover put up some big numbers, completing twenty two

62
00:04:00,039 --> 00:04:02,560
six to forty seven passes for three hundred and seventy

63
00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:06,759
six yards and three touchdowns, but he also threw two

64
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,800
critical interceptions to des Pernell, including a twenty five yard

65
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,000
pick six early in the third quarter that broke the

66
00:04:14,039 --> 00:04:19,000
game wide open. K State capitalized on nearly every mistake,

67
00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:25,040
turning defensive chaos into points and therefore momentum. After Hoover's

68
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,079
first half backward pass was ruled a fumble and returned

69
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,959
for a touchdown by Wesley Fair, TCU found itself traveling

70
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,639
fourteen to seven at the half. Hoover later tried to

71
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,279
rally the offense, engineering a lightning fast, seven plays seventy

72
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,279
five yard drive that was capped by a two yard

73
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,480
touchdown to Chase Curtis, But each time the Frogs got closer,

74
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,480
K State had an answer, first with a seventeen yard

75
00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:52,480
touchdown pass from Avery Johnson Dick Garrett Oakley, then with

76
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,959
a twelve yard strike to Durend Bentley I'm sorry, durn

77
00:04:57,079 --> 00:04:59,839
Bradley to extend the lead to thirty five to fourteen.

78
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:03,120
Johnson was efficient, though, finishing sixteen to twenty six one

79
00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:06,000
hundred and ninety eight yards and three touchdowns, all while

80
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,920
k State's defense kept Hoover under constant pressure. Hoover's late

81
00:05:09,959 --> 00:05:13,759
eighty five yard bomb to Eric McCallister provided a highlight,

82
00:05:14,759 --> 00:05:17,839
but for Now's second interception in TCU territory sealed the

83
00:05:17,879 --> 00:05:21,639
game and set up a final Kansas State field goal.

84
00:05:22,439 --> 00:05:26,720
The horn Frogs will return home to face Baylor this week,

85
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,759
and they'll need to find some answers fast before this

86
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:34,279
mid season slump turns into a full blown spiral. And

87
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:38,560
things don't get easier for the horn Frogs of course

88
00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:44,759
after you face Baylor just to the south. This has

89
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,319
been a roller coaster of a season so far for

90
00:05:48,439 --> 00:05:52,240
the horn Frogs. I don't see much light on the horizon.

91
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,600
This is not a team that seems to overcome, seems

92
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,319
to be able to overcome adversity, and usually that are

93
00:05:59,439 --> 00:06:02,720
adversity is caused by themselves. So it's hard to pick

94
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:05,439
yourself up and dust yourself off when you're the one

95
00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:09,480
that keeps knocking yourself down. So TCU will look for

96
00:06:09,519 --> 00:06:14,480
better things, certainly against Baylor next week. Now, the other

97
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,279
team out of our our grouping here in Texas that

98
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,160
had big hopes for a win, undefeated and maybe the

99
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,560
marquee matchup that was, you know in the state of

100
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,079
Texas here, at least here in North Texas where those

101
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:37,439
North Texas Mean Green. However, U in a big matchup

102
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:40,560
against South Florida, number twenty four. South Florida comes into town,

103
00:06:41,519 --> 00:06:44,800
into Denton, as North Texas looked to go six and

104
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,920
oh for the first time since nineteen eighty nine. It

105
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:49,360
was a huge marquee matchup. It was billed as such,

106
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,839
and I really thought that we would see this game

107
00:06:53,959 --> 00:06:57,560
go really the way it went in the first half, right,

108
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,519
but North Texas gets crashed back to earth as turnovers

109
00:07:04,079 --> 00:07:07,959
really doomed the Mean Green in a blowout sixty three

110
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,759
to thirty six against USF And it was supposed to

111
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,319
be a statement night in Denton, a national showcase for

112
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,120
a red hot North Texas team. They canceled classes for

113
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,399
the students at North Texas there in Denton all day

114
00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:25,759
on Friday so that they would have time to tailgate,

115
00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:29,600
get their affairs in order, get to the stadium early.

116
00:07:30,439 --> 00:07:33,399
And what a scene it was too. They're at DAKU

117
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,480
Stadium full, just full. I don't know that I'd ever

118
00:07:37,519 --> 00:07:39,600
seen that stadium that full before and it was a

119
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,639
great sight to see. And you know, you and t

120
00:07:43,839 --> 00:07:46,480
looked pretty poised early. They traded punches with the Bulls.

121
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,600
You get to halftime, you're tied twenty one to twenty one,

122
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,639
after a muff punt led to a late USF touchdown.

123
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,720
You had you were supposed to walk into the half

124
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,759
with a twenty one to fourteen lead before that huge

125
00:07:57,759 --> 00:08:01,519
mistake just before the half. Then that second half quickly

126
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,519
spiraled into disaster. Is that mistake right before the half

127
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,279
set the tone for the entire second half as the

128
00:08:08,279 --> 00:08:11,160
Bulls exploded for three touchdowns in just over three minutes,

129
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,000
capitalizing on North Texas giveaways to blow the game wide open.

130
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:19,480
Byron Brown was unstoppable. He threw for two hundred and

131
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,360
forty five yards and three touchdowns. He also rushed for

132
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,519
eighty two yards and two more scores. It marked his

133
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,160
second straight five touchdown game as the Bulls piled up

134
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:33,679
five and eighty yards with their defense forced forcing five turnovers,

135
00:08:34,799 --> 00:08:38,919
including a thirty four yard fumble return that really buried

136
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,200
North Texas midway through the third quarter. They really had

137
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:45,799
no answer after that that early spurt there in the

138
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,440
first half or the second half rather of USF the

139
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,399
Mean Green. Of course, you still have Drew Mestimaker. He

140
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,159
hadn't thrown in an interception all season long.

141
00:08:56,279 --> 00:08:57,399
Speaker 2: Well that did not.

142
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: Last, as he threw three all night, despite finishing thirty

143
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,360
of forty six for three hundred and twenty six yards

144
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,240
and two touchdowns. It was a sellout crowd, as I mentioned,

145
00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:10,240
thirty three and eighty six was the announced attendance in

146
00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:14,679
that crowd was electric very very early, but the crowd

147
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:18,600
thinned out there in the second half as USF cruised

148
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,200
to its fifth straight win. North Texas now faces UTSA

149
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,320
on October eighteenth, hoping to prove that Friday's collapse was

150
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,919
just a one night nightmare and not an unraveling of

151
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,039
the rest of the season. So think good thoughts for

152
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,799
North Texas those Mean Green as they look to put

153
00:09:36,799 --> 00:09:41,559
this behind them after facing USF again. It was a

154
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,600
fun game to watch in the first half, but things

155
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,399
got out of hand very very quickly there in the

156
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,159
very early in the third quarter and North Texas just

157
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:54,000
had no answer. Just with too many mistakes seems to

158
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,240
be the theme in the losses even with TCU here.

159
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: But let's get to some of.

160
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: The good news, because we had some teams that looked very,

161
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,799
very good this week, and you.

162
00:10:08,759 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: Know we'll start. Let's start with the team.

163
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: The big game, the biggest build game probably in the

164
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,840
state of Texas. Even after I said that North Texas

165
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,720
was because we had action in the Red River rivalry,

166
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,039
say that three times really fast. I still liked it

167
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,120
when it was the Red River shootout. It seems like

168
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:29,600
it was easier to say. But you had the annual

169
00:10:29,639 --> 00:10:33,360
meeting of the Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners there

170
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:37,480
at the Cotton Bowl in fair Park during the State

171
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:42,240
Fair of Texas. And a while we've heard reports of

172
00:10:42,399 --> 00:10:44,919
the attendance of the State Fair of Texas being down

173
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:50,039
due to what many consider overpriced tickets and concessions and

174
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:55,320
events and activities. There was no shortage of red or

175
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,320
I guess it's Crimson and ore and burnt orange at

176
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,679
the Cotton Bowl as that place was to the hilt

177
00:11:00,799 --> 00:11:05,799
as it always is for this game. Texas, coming off

178
00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:08,080
the lost to Florida, needed a bounce back game, not

179
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:12,279
just as a team but for arch Manning, who still

180
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,559
is trying to figure out the offense behind a just

181
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:21,559
an underperforming offensive line that he has struggled behind all

182
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:26,840
season long against well, I'll say it again against good

183
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,879
opponents again. I don't want to call back to the

184
00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:34,480
fifty five to nothing Sam Houston State fiasco. As everyone announced.

185
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,960
Arch is back after that win, and then they roll

186
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,080
into Florida and get slobberknocked. But you do roll into

187
00:11:42,159 --> 00:11:47,279
Dallas and beat maybe an overrated number six Oklahoma, but

188
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,320
a number six Oklahoma nonetheless, as the Golden Hat now

189
00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:55,480
is staying in Austin behind a breakout performance from arch

190
00:11:55,519 --> 00:11:59,320
Manning in a game breaking punt return from Ryan Niblet

191
00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:02,639
to takes down number six Oklahoma twenty three to six

192
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,879
on Saturday at the Cotton Bowl, snapping the Sooners perfect

193
00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:11,559
season and reviving its own college football playoff hopes. As

194
00:12:11,759 --> 00:12:14,960
narrow as those college football playoff hopes are there still

195
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,120
alive down in Austin, arch Manning was sharp.

196
00:12:18,159 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 2: He was steady.

197
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,279
Speaker 1: Completed twenty one to twenty seven passes for one hundred

198
00:12:21,279 --> 00:12:24,440
and sixty six yards, including a go ahead twelve yard

199
00:12:24,519 --> 00:12:27,600
touchdown strike to DeAndre Moore Junior early in the third quarter,

200
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,679
a drive that flipped the tone of the game. The

201
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,080
Longhorns trailed six to nothing early before controlling the second half,

202
00:12:35,159 --> 00:12:37,440
led by a defense that forced three interceptions and held

203
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,399
Oklahoma at just two hundred.

204
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 2: And fifty eight yards.

205
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: Malik Muhammad picked off two passes, including a red zone

206
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:45,919
interception at the end of the first half that coach

207
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,480
Stark called a momentum changing play. In Boy Howdy, that's

208
00:12:49,519 --> 00:12:53,200
the understatement of the weekend. Ryan Niblett delivered the knockout

209
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,759
blow midway through the fourth quarter, returning a punt return

210
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,960
or returning a punt seventy five yards up the sideline,

211
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,679
bouncing off teammate Marshall land where before sprinting to the

212
00:13:02,759 --> 00:13:05,240
end zone for a twenty to six lead, And that

213
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:09,279
was really the strike that put the game out of

214
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,919
reach for Oklahoma. I think at that point, John Mattier

215
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,159
and the Sooners still hadn't really figured out what was

216
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:20,080
what had hit them, as nobody expected to see that

217
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:25,039
type of offense from the Longhorns against I don't know,

218
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,600
maybe an overrated Sooners defense, although they'd performed pretty admirably

219
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,759
throughout the season. I don't know that we really knew

220
00:13:32,799 --> 00:13:36,360
what we had with the Sooners offensively or defensively. Of course,

221
00:13:36,399 --> 00:13:38,240
he had a banged up John Mattier, who was returning

222
00:13:38,279 --> 00:13:43,480
from that thumb surgery maybe too soon. Matier did not

223
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,399
have the game. I don't think that he thought he would,

224
00:13:47,879 --> 00:13:51,240
But after that Niblet punt return, it was pretty much

225
00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:56,480
church for the Sooners. Matier played again just seventeen days

226
00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:58,519
after surgery on his throwing hand. He went twenty of

227
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,600
thirty eight two hundred and two yards and three interceptions

228
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,919
and later admitted, of course, that he just did not

229
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,080
play well enough. Guess what, John, We all watched it,

230
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:08,279
we all saw it.

231
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 2: We know.

232
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: Mason Shipley added three field goals from twenty two to

233
00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:14,679
forty eight and thirty nine yards, helping the long Horns

234
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,000
retain the Golden Hat for a second straight year. The win,

235
00:14:18,159 --> 00:14:21,879
of course, will do well for the Longhorns put them

236
00:14:21,879 --> 00:14:26,639
back in the college football playoff conversation. Maybe more importantly,

237
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,759
it proved Sarks team can respond to adversity for the

238
00:14:30,759 --> 00:14:34,600
first time this year. They did punch back here against

239
00:14:35,159 --> 00:14:39,519
a feisty Oklahoma team that, of course most predicted to win.

240
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,840
But I think Texas showed a lot of grit. I

241
00:14:42,919 --> 00:14:45,519
still don't like the way the offensive line played. I

242
00:14:45,559 --> 00:14:48,440
still think you need to see more from that. I

243
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,639
still think you need to see ours. Although he no

244
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,200
doubt gained a ton of confidence, we need to see

245
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:57,200
if that's going to carry over to next week for

246
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,519
the Longhorns, for sure. So big showing by the law Horns.

247
00:15:00,559 --> 00:15:03,360
Was that going to be matched by the Red Raiders,

248
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,480
Well it was. Cameron Dickie had the game of his life.

249
00:15:09,399 --> 00:15:12,519
Will Hammond had to step up as the number nine

250
00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:17,600
Texas Tech Red Raiders just crush Kansas forty two to seventeen.

251
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,399
I think the Red Raiders now have proved that they're

252
00:15:20,399 --> 00:15:23,519
built for chaos and they're built for championships because they're

253
00:15:23,559 --> 00:15:25,519
certainly on their way to the Big twelve title game

254
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,480
here as we can if we can say that it's

255
00:15:28,519 --> 00:15:31,519
still early, but they certainly looked like they're training in

256
00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:35,120
that direction. They lost Baron Morton to a leg injury

257
00:15:35,159 --> 00:15:39,039
in the second quarter, did not stop the steam rolling

258
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:44,000
offense out in Lubbock behind a record setting ground game

259
00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:47,000
and a breakout performance from Cameron dicky He was unstoppable

260
00:15:47,279 --> 00:15:49,799
two hundred and sixty three yards and two touchdowns on

261
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,200
the ground, including a seventy one yard sprint on the

262
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,399
first play of the game. He also added a fifty

263
00:15:55,399 --> 00:15:58,279
five yarder in the fourth quarter that pretty much sealed

264
00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:01,919
the deal for the red race. Tech piled up three

265
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,440
hundred and seventy two rushing yards and never looked back,

266
00:16:04,519 --> 00:16:07,399
even as the Jayhawks clawed back from a twenty one

267
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:09,879
to nothing hole to make it twenty one to seventeen

268
00:16:09,919 --> 00:16:13,279
by the half. Red Shirt freshman quarterback Will Hammond had

269
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,480
to replace Morton. Started kind of slow. He threw a

270
00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:18,399
pick there early on, but he settled in after the

271
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,799
break scored two rushing touchdowns, including a twenty yard scamper

272
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,080
to open the second half. This was a third time

273
00:16:26,159 --> 00:16:28,879
this season that Hammond has been called in for now

274
00:16:28,919 --> 00:16:31,679
for an injured Morton. He's battled a knee issue, he

275
00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:34,519
had a head injury early in the year, but Hammond

276
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,480
has been strong every time he has had to appear.

277
00:16:38,039 --> 00:16:41,399
Kansas moved the ball pretty early behind quarterback Jalen Daniels,

278
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,679
who had two hundred and twenty eight passing yards and

279
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:47,960
two touchdowns, but the Tech defense turned ferocious after halftime.

280
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:50,039
And I don't know that anyone has ever uttered those

281
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,279
words about a Texas Tech defense, but as I've mentioned

282
00:16:53,279 --> 00:16:55,919
on this show and over on our Texas Tech Red

283
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,759
Raiders Daily Blitz podcast. This thing's built different this year.

284
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,559
Nio and the Transfer portal has done the Red Raiders

285
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:09,599
well as their defense is just ridiculous this season and

286
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,680
they finally have the defense to match the high powered

287
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,799
offense and we're seeing the result of that in just

288
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:18,880
about every game this season. The Red Raiders sacked Daniels

289
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,720
eight times, with David Bailey accounting for three of those.

290
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:29,160
They forced five second half punts as the Jayhawks momentum

291
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,319
disappeared after they had narrowed that first half lead from

292
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,720
twenty one to nothing to twenty one seventeen. So with

293
00:17:36,799 --> 00:17:39,759
the win, Texas Tech stays undefeated. They're climbing in the

294
00:17:39,799 --> 00:17:43,279
AP top ten for the first times it's twenty thirteen,

295
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,359
especially after Oregon's lost to Indiana earlier in the day.

296
00:17:47,519 --> 00:17:49,880
Coming up next for the Red Raiders it is number

297
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,279
twenty one Arizona State and another chance for the Red

298
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,200
Raiders to prove that they're not just hot, but they're

299
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:04,519
for real stay in the Dallas area. Excuse me as

300
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,079
we'll save the Aggies, myaggies for last. But another impressive

301
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:17,880
performance from SMU with a nineteenth straight acc conference win,

302
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,480
as the message from the Mustangs to the acc should

303
00:18:23,599 --> 00:18:26,359
by now be loud and clear that they belonged there.

304
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,440
Behind a pair of electrifying touchdowns from Chris Johnson Junior

305
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,279
in a stifling defensive effort, the Mustangs rolled past Stanford

306
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,160
thirty four to ten on Saturday at Gerald J. Ford Stadium. Again,

307
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:43,759
it's its nineteenth consecutive regular season conference victory. Of course,

308
00:18:43,799 --> 00:18:46,240
the Miami transfer Johnson made the highlight rul twice. He

309
00:18:46,279 --> 00:18:49,160
had an eighty seven yard touchdown run and later a

310
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,400
forty two yard catch and run from quarterback Kevin Jennings.

311
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:56,319
Jennings was twenty two to thirty for two hundred and

312
00:18:56,319 --> 00:19:00,359
forty seven yards and two touchdowns. Linebacker Justin Medlock sealed

313
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,880
the win with a ninety six yard interception return in

314
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,799
the fourth quarter, his second score in as many weeks.

315
00:19:07,319 --> 00:19:12,359
Stanford kept it close before halftime, as a seventy five

316
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,200
yard drive cap by a fourteen yard touchdown passed to CJ.

317
00:19:15,319 --> 00:19:18,799
Williams narrowed the lead, but the Cardinal could not overcome

318
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,119
six sacks and Medlocks picked six down the stretch. With win,

319
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,599
the SMU Mustangs remain unbeaten in regular season conference place

320
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,240
and joining the ACC last year, and they will look

321
00:19:30,279 --> 00:19:33,880
to extend their streak at a struggling Clemson team that

322
00:19:34,039 --> 00:19:36,559
is not the Clemson team we thought we were going

323
00:19:36,599 --> 00:19:38,960
to see before the season started. Of course, they were

324
00:19:39,319 --> 00:19:43,559
preseason number four, and we're not able to live up

325
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:46,759
to that, as we had a couple of teams that

326
00:19:46,799 --> 00:19:48,960
were not able to live up to their preseason rankings,

327
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:54,000
of course, the Longhorns being one of those. But all

328
00:19:54,039 --> 00:19:56,279
in all, a good showing by the Mustangs at home,

329
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,839
and we'll see what they can put together against Clemson.

330
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,680
The the big game of the week, at least for me,

331
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:07,839
were the Texas A and m Aggies remaining perfect to

332
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,559
roll to six and oh over Florida, the team that

333
00:20:10,559 --> 00:20:13,759
had just knocked off the Texas Longhorns the week before.

334
00:20:13,799 --> 00:20:16,480
And once again, I say it every week, whether it's

335
00:20:16,559 --> 00:20:19,000
right here or on the Texas A and m Aggie's

336
00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:24,680
daily blitz on fan stream Sports, that Marcel Reid continues

337
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,400
to lead this team like a seasoned veteran as the

338
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:33,319
Aggies keep finding ways to win. And Saturday night, it

339
00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:38,440
came with another statement. Reid's poise its playmaking led the

340
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:42,799
charge with that thirty four to seventeen victory. The Aggies

341
00:20:42,799 --> 00:20:44,599
are now six and OH for the first time since

342
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:48,480
twenty sixteen. Reid was in control all ninety through for

343
00:20:48,519 --> 00:20:50,559
two hundred and thirty four yards in a touchdown. He

344
00:20:50,599 --> 00:20:54,119
added another score on the ground. The Aggies came out

345
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,880
swinging with two touchdowns on its first three possessions, captain

346
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,839
by Levion Moss's twenty two yard run early in the

347
00:21:00,839 --> 00:21:05,920
second quarter. Moss exited before halftime with an apparent ankle injury,

348
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,039
and that brought in Reuben Owens to finish the job

349
00:21:08,079 --> 00:21:10,240
with fifty one yards rushing in a late two yard

350
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:14,200
touchdown that sealed the game. Florida briefly showed some signs

351
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,039
of life. They tied the game twice in the first

352
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,160
quarter and cut the lead to twenty four to seventeen

353
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,000
late in the third after a forty five yard field goal,

354
00:21:21,079 --> 00:21:24,680
but the Gators and head coach Billion Napier could not

355
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:26,240
sustain drives when it mattered.

356
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,319
Speaker 2: The Aggie's defense was just too much.

357
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,039
Speaker 1: Napier now falls to oh to fourteen on the road

358
00:21:31,079 --> 00:21:35,279
against ranked teams, as turnovers and red zone miscues proved

359
00:21:35,319 --> 00:21:39,839
costly once again for the Gators. And I think it's

360
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,039
safe to say the seat is getting warmer and warmer

361
00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:47,519
and warmer in Billion Napier's office, and it probably should

362
00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:51,440
don't know that he'll make it to the end of

363
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:55,960
the season. The state of Florida now with the Gators,

364
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,680
and even with Florida State Mike Norvelle's seat getting hotter

365
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,039
and hot and hotter as they lose a pit this week.

366
00:22:02,519 --> 00:22:05,079
But could be some job openings coming up in the

367
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,920
Sunshine State, maybe before the end of the season. And

368
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:12,559
the Aggies continue to roll. Deyon Hayes' strip, sack and

369
00:22:12,599 --> 00:22:15,279
fumbles set up the Aggie's final points while the defense

370
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,519
bottled up DJ Lagway, who threw for two hundred and

371
00:22:18,559 --> 00:22:21,519
forty five yards and two touchdowns, but he had no

372
00:22:21,599 --> 00:22:25,200
answer for the Aggi's defense. Of course, with Oregon's loss

373
00:22:25,279 --> 00:22:28,319
earlier in the day, the Aggies climbing in the standings

374
00:22:28,319 --> 00:22:31,400
are at number four. And this is the way that

375
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:34,039
we've seen the Aggies grind out wins all season. And

376
00:22:34,079 --> 00:22:36,240
I've said it over and over again, This Aggi's team

377
00:22:36,279 --> 00:22:40,680
is different. This is not Arci Slocum's Aggie's team. This

378
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,279
is not Jimbo Fisher's Aggie's team. This is not Kevin

379
00:22:43,279 --> 00:22:47,119
Sumlin's Aggie's team. This is not Mike Sherman's Aggie's team.

380
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,319
This one's built different under Mike Elko, and they seem

381
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,559
to be finding ways to win these games that in

382
00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:56,720
the past, under past regimes and even as recently as

383
00:22:56,799 --> 00:22:59,960
Jimbo Fisher, they have just found ways to lose, where

384
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,440
it's at home or on the road. The game is

385
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:08,279
against Mississippi State, I thought had every chance to be

386
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,559
an Aggie's loss, but this team, again is built differently.

387
00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:14,759
Same thing with this Florida Gators game. The Aggies had

388
00:23:14,799 --> 00:23:19,240
every opportunity to let the Gators back into it. But

389
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,720
this defense keeps rolling, the offense keeps rolling, and it's

390
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:28,160
a It's different. It's just built different. And if you're

391
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:30,519
not an Aggie's fan and you're listening to this every week,

392
00:23:30,559 --> 00:23:34,240
then I apologize. As soon as the Longhorns start doing something,

393
00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:37,079
then I'll praise them, to praise them for a win

394
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,759
this week didn't I. And again, if you're not new

395
00:23:40,799 --> 00:23:43,000
to the program, then you know I'm an Arch Manning fan,

396
00:23:44,519 --> 00:23:47,319
being a fan of the Manning family my time in

397
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,799
New Orleans. But I'm ready to praise arts. I'm ready

398
00:23:50,839 --> 00:23:53,400
to praise the long Horns when they do something that's praiseworthy.

399
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,640
And yeah, they got to win over Oklahoma. It is

400
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,279
what it is. It was a big win for the program.

401
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,759
It's a big win for the Aggies program this week

402
00:24:02,799 --> 00:24:07,200
against Florida, and I can't wait to see what these

403
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,920
Texas based college teams can come up with here on

404
00:24:12,079 --> 00:24:15,359
the Pig Skin and Burnt Ends. We will get into

405
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,759
some more college football next week right here on Fans

406
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:22,079
Stream Sports and the College Gridiron Coast to Coast Network.

407
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:49,000
Until next time, boys and girls, we'll see you
