00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Hello, anybody, Welcome to the Lucky Weekly Podcast.

2
00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:37.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm Tony Gerdeman here as always a sophomore town.

3
00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:42.119
<v Speaker 3>How's it going well, Tony, you told me what this

4
00:00:42.200 --> 00:00:44.920
<v Speaker 3>show was and I said I hate these shows, and you.

5
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Said, I said, no, you like them. These are your

6
00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:50.000
<v Speaker 1>favorite shows. That's what you said the last time we

7
00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>did one of these.

8
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:52.079
<v Speaker 4>No, no, it is not.

9
00:00:52.960 --> 00:00:54.719
<v Speaker 3>He knows I don't love these shows, which is why

10
00:00:54.719 --> 00:00:58.840
<v Speaker 3>we're doing, once again, Tony, blind ranking individual matchups.

11
00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 2>We're blind ranking some any individual matchups this year four

12
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:04.120
<v Speaker 2>of the Black Eyes. I'm gonna give Tom a matchup

13
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>between an higher state player and an opposing player, and

14
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.000
<v Speaker 2>he's gonna rank it between one and five what he

15
00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>thinks it's going to be in terms of the most impactful,

16
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.120
<v Speaker 2>most important, biggest individual matchup. Of course, the problem with

17
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.560
<v Speaker 2>blind ranking Tom is you're ranking these things blindly.

18
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>Now, what I've never done is I've never.

19
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Like sold you out or not, the last one being,

20
00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:29.120
<v Speaker 2>you know, something like Joe Maguire versus the Volcano.

21
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:32.519
<v Speaker 4>He said foreshadowingly, Well.

22
00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 1>The problem is I don't put enough forethought into something

23
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 1>like that. I'm not that kind of person. I'm not

24
00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:37.239
<v Speaker 1>a bad person.

25
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 2>So all right, Tom, the first one here, let's go with,

26
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:42.319
<v Speaker 2>and this was a pretty big one.

27
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Jordan Marshall versus Peyton Piers.

28
00:01:46.519 --> 00:01:49.599
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so Michigan running back Jordan Marshall, who we will

29
00:01:49.640 --> 00:01:50.719
<v Speaker 3>get to talk to on Thursday.

30
00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:53.040
<v Speaker 4>Maybe we'll maybe we'll ask him to blind rank this.

31
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:53.959
<v Speaker 1>That's a good idea.

32
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.319
<v Speaker 3>Where do you think you're matchup with Peyton Pierce ranks

33
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 3>visa be these other four matchups, but you have to

34
00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.719
<v Speaker 3>answer yours and then we'll tell you the other ones one.

35
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:02.000
<v Speaker 4>At a time.

36
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 3>Running back, Yes, So this this feels like now I'm

37
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.800
<v Speaker 3>going to I'm going to cheat a little bit on

38
00:02:11.840 --> 00:02:17.960
<v Speaker 3>this one because I think that Savian Hyder could be

39
00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:18.759
<v Speaker 3>Did we not.

40
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 4>Do this one already?

41
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.360
<v Speaker 3>I feel like we talked about Jordan Marshall because I

42
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 3>feel like I've gone through this Savian Hyder thought process

43
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.800
<v Speaker 3>all we talked about. Okay, Okay, So I feel like

44
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.439
<v Speaker 3>Savian Hider by the end of the season could be

45
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:33.240
<v Speaker 3>taking on a bigger.

46
00:02:33.439 --> 00:02:34.919
<v Speaker 4>Role in that Michigan offense.

47
00:02:35.439 --> 00:02:39.400
<v Speaker 3>And so Jordan Marshall maybe the guy who's getting half

48
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:41.639
<v Speaker 3>the carries, but you're you know, you're splitting him.

49
00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Something like that.

50
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 3>So I'm going to kind of hedge here a little

51
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:49.520
<v Speaker 3>bit and say because of that, this is number three

52
00:02:49.560 --> 00:02:54.840
<v Speaker 3>for me, where because I think there's a real possibility

53
00:02:54.879 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 3>that Jordan Marshall himself is ten carries for forty seven

54
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:04.520
<v Speaker 3>yards against Ohio State something like that, where it's not

55
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.280
<v Speaker 3>you know, it's not it's like Chernobyl, not great and

56
00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:09.319
<v Speaker 3>not terrible. That was three point six yards per carry

57
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.719
<v Speaker 3>at Churnerobyl. This would be four point seven yards per

58
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:15.319
<v Speaker 3>carry for Michigan in Ohio Stadium where you're not winning

59
00:03:15.319 --> 00:03:17.639
<v Speaker 3>the game there, You're not losing the game there. It's

60
00:03:17.719 --> 00:03:19.680
<v Speaker 3>it may be it may be that save Vann Hyder

61
00:03:19.719 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 3>has eighteen carries that game.

62
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:22.879
<v Speaker 4>And so I'm going to hedge a.

63
00:03:22.800 --> 00:03:28.439
<v Speaker 3>Little bit to protect myself from your malfeasans and you're dastardly.

64
00:03:29.560 --> 00:03:30.120
<v Speaker 4>What have you.

65
00:03:30.240 --> 00:03:33.199
<v Speaker 2>That's crazy because the last time we had Jordan Marshall

66
00:03:33.199 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 2>against Peton Pierce, you hadn't number one.

67
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:37.599
<v Speaker 1>All right, here's one for you.

68
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Indiana wide receiver Charlie Becker m HM against played Devin

69
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Sanchez last year. It did not go great for Charlie

70
00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:52.280
<v Speaker 2>Becker versus Darmade Matthews. Yeah, this year size versus size.

71
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:54.599
<v Speaker 3>Sorry to be clear, it did not go well for

72
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:56.319
<v Speaker 3>Jamaine Matthews against Charlie Becker.

73
00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so yes, this year, Whier State goes to Indian,

74
00:04:01.439 --> 00:04:04.759
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna be throwing the ball, trying to get some

75
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:05.919
<v Speaker 2>big chunks downfield.

76
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:07.439
<v Speaker 1>Who knows what the running game for the Hoosiers are

77
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna look like.

78
00:04:08.960 --> 00:04:12.360
<v Speaker 2>Charlie Becker, They're gonna need him step up, Devin Sanchez.

79
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:13.479
<v Speaker 2>Can he shut him down?

80
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Where does this sprank?

81
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 2>Is it more important than the Ohio State linebacker against

82
00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>the Michigan running back.

83
00:04:21.199 --> 00:04:25.720
<v Speaker 4>So that's a layered and nuanced question.

84
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.720
<v Speaker 3>And here's why because last years as the season played out,

85
00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:33.680
<v Speaker 3>that was maybe number one on the list. I mean,

86
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:35.560
<v Speaker 3>as as the season played out, at least in terms

87
00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.480
<v Speaker 3>of negative outcomes for Ohio State, that might have been

88
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.560
<v Speaker 3>the single biggest negative outcome for Ohio State, that big

89
00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 3>play at the end of the game. So this year,

90
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:48.360
<v Speaker 3>I think Ohio State's defense I'm not expecting to be

91
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:50.639
<v Speaker 3>quite as good as Indiana, as I'm not expecting Indian

92
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 3>to be quite as good as they were last year.

93
00:04:53.160 --> 00:04:56.079
<v Speaker 3>So I'm gonna say that that game is probably a

94
00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 3>little higher scoring this year than it was last year.

95
00:04:58.279 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 3>So it's probably not a thirteen to ten kind of

96
00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.240
<v Speaker 3>so it's not necessarily one where the one big play

97
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:11.240
<v Speaker 3>completely swings things, and you know the one, the one

98
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.480
<v Speaker 3>fourth down where you don't make it, the one long

99
00:05:13.560 --> 00:05:17.800
<v Speaker 3>pass that you know that that doesn't necessarily completely swing

100
00:05:17.879 --> 00:05:18.240
<v Speaker 3>the game.

101
00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.759
<v Speaker 2>I find you you're downplaying all of these so that

102
00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 2>you can continue to push them down.

103
00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 3>Well, I'm pushing this down. I think to number two

104
00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:26.240
<v Speaker 3>on the list.

105
00:05:26.319 --> 00:05:27.759
<v Speaker 1>I still number two.

106
00:05:27.839 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 4>I think this is still number two. It's just, yeah,

107
00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:31.519
<v Speaker 4>I think.

108
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.920
<v Speaker 3>This is still because I said, like I said last year,

109
00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 3>I think you could make a very compelling argument that

110
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:38.040
<v Speaker 3>this would have been number one on a lot of

111
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:44.000
<v Speaker 3>combinations of five significant matchups. But I'll say number two

112
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 3>just because you know, if Charlie Becker wins that one

113
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:53.160
<v Speaker 3>really conclusively, then that you know, even if this is

114
00:05:53.199 --> 00:05:54.920
<v Speaker 3>a game that's twenty four to twenty one instead of

115
00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:57.720
<v Speaker 3>thirteen to ten, if he has one hundred and fifty

116
00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.360
<v Speaker 3>yards and two touchdowns, that swings that game. If Devin

117
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:04.759
<v Speaker 3>Sanchez can really lock him down. You know, Indiana does

118
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.360
<v Speaker 3>not have They've lost several of their other key offensive

119
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 3>players from last year. So you at this point don't

120
00:06:14.120 --> 00:06:15.560
<v Speaker 3>want to say, well, they're not gonna be able to

121
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:17.240
<v Speaker 3>replace him, because we have seen that they have been

122
00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.319
<v Speaker 3>able to replace guys and have been just fined. But

123
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.879
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna put this one number two because I think

124
00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:26.879
<v Speaker 3>it's one where if one of those guys conclusively wins

125
00:06:26.920 --> 00:06:29.600
<v Speaker 3>that matchup, that could swing that game, and that's going

126
00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.720
<v Speaker 3>to be a game that could very well be really

127
00:06:31.879 --> 00:06:34.199
<v Speaker 3>key to if only one of those teams makes that

128
00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 3>game makes the playoff.

129
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:37.600
<v Speaker 4>The team that wins that game probably is the one

130
00:06:37.639 --> 00:06:38.040
<v Speaker 4>that makes it.

131
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:41.399
<v Speaker 2>So that's number two for you. Here is the next one.

132
00:06:42.399 --> 00:06:48.800
<v Speaker 2>New Michigan defensive end, John Henry Daily transfer against Philip Daniels,

133
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Ohio State right tackle.

134
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.560
<v Speaker 4>I would like to change some of my earlier answers.

135
00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.720
<v Speaker 2>Just so people know what John Henry Daily did in

136
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.360
<v Speaker 2>the Big twelve a Utah last year, forty eight tackles

137
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.399
<v Speaker 2>and a half tackles for loss, eleven and a half sacks,

138
00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:07.399
<v Speaker 2>matched up against Philip Daniels, who should be.

139
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Better this year.

140
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but if you're looking at it a one v

141
00:07:12.079 --> 00:07:14.240
<v Speaker 2>one type of thing, I think a lot of people

142
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.439
<v Speaker 2>are gonna give Michigan the advantage. Now we've seen other

143
00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:21.240
<v Speaker 2>players transfer from the ACC the Big twelve, right, and

144
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.560
<v Speaker 2>that the production has been diminished.

145
00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:27.600
<v Speaker 3>And he's had he had a serious leg injury miss

146
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.639
<v Speaker 3>spring ball. We don't know what he's gonna be. I

147
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.759
<v Speaker 3>believe he's here this week, right, isn't he one of

148
00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:37.399
<v Speaker 3>he's one of the guys. Yes, he's only had eleven

149
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:39.439
<v Speaker 3>and a half sacks and seventeen and a half SAT

150
00:07:39.519 --> 00:07:42.680
<v Speaker 3>tackles for lost once, which that's basically not at all

151
00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:43.079
<v Speaker 3>if you.

152
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.920
<v Speaker 4>Think about it, really like more than us.

153
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:50.680
<v Speaker 3>Right, he is someone who when I saw him in

154
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 3>the portal and Kyle Weddingham's Michigan's coach, I kind of went,

155
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.439
<v Speaker 3>uh oh, that's that's gonna be problem for Ohio State,

156
00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.240
<v Speaker 3>and it's gonna be problem for a lot of people

157
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:01.439
<v Speaker 3>in the Big ten if he's healthy. And we're sort

158
00:08:01.439 --> 00:08:03.399
<v Speaker 3>of at this point, we're sort of reading tea leaves

159
00:08:03.399 --> 00:08:04.439
<v Speaker 3>because he didn't play in the spring.

160
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:07.240
<v Speaker 4>But that's right, that's right.

161
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.319
<v Speaker 1>So it's like you could see it taking a little

162
00:08:09.319 --> 00:08:09.800
<v Speaker 1>bit of time.

163
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:14.079
<v Speaker 3>The fact that he's here is suggestive that, Okay, he's

164
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:16.079
<v Speaker 3>gonna be good to go at the start of the year.

165
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 3>You're not You're not bringing a guy here if he's

166
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.360
<v Speaker 3>not going to be out on the field until mid

167
00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:22.879
<v Speaker 3>October or something like that, So that that tells me

168
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:24.639
<v Speaker 3>he's going to be healthy at the start of the year.

169
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:25.920
<v Speaker 4>And if he's healthy at the start of the year.

170
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, we've seen over the years and achilles injury is

171
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:33.200
<v Speaker 3>you can not be one hundred percent you know, tough. Forland,

172
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:35.440
<v Speaker 3>for example, after his achilles injury, was not quite the

173
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:43.639
<v Speaker 3>same player after that. I think, Man, remember when I

174
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:45.799
<v Speaker 3>put the Jordan Marshall Payton Pierce thing forth.

175
00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.399
<v Speaker 4>That's why No, I think I put it forth. I'm

176
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.600
<v Speaker 4>pretty sure if you go back and check the tape.

177
00:08:51.600 --> 00:08:54.240
<v Speaker 3>Uh, and I put the Charlie Becker thing because I

178
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.399
<v Speaker 3>had the Charlie Becker match up third.

179
00:08:56.519 --> 00:08:58.840
<v Speaker 4>I remember very clearly that I had that because I

180
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:00.360
<v Speaker 4>should have.

181
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:02.799
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I feel I feel really unprepared for this, this

182
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.600
<v Speaker 3>show that I was forced to come in blind for.

183
00:09:04.679 --> 00:09:07.320
<v Speaker 3>And that's that's on me. That's my failure to prepare,

184
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.840
<v Speaker 3>failure to prepare. Tony is preparing to fail.

185
00:09:11.080 --> 00:09:11.879
<v Speaker 4>I heard that somewhere.

186
00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:16.120
<v Speaker 3>Man, I really want to put this one, but I'm

187
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:18.360
<v Speaker 3>scared about what else is coming next where it's going

188
00:09:18.440 --> 00:09:22.120
<v Speaker 3>to be. Uh, you know, Cam Coleman against or Jeremiah

189
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.080
<v Speaker 3>Smith against and it's like, hmmm, well that's not really

190
00:09:25.120 --> 00:09:28.320
<v Speaker 3>four or five. I feel hemmed into having to put

191
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.759
<v Speaker 3>this four. But really I think I'm going I have

192
00:09:32.840 --> 00:09:35.600
<v Speaker 3>to leave myself. I have to leave myself something.

193
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.279
<v Speaker 4>Because I think you can.

194
00:09:38.360 --> 00:09:41.000
<v Speaker 3>Here's how I'm going to hedge this, Tony, like a pro,

195
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:44.360
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to hedge this. You can help out with

196
00:09:44.440 --> 00:09:46.559
<v Speaker 3>tight ends. You can help out with you know, hey,

197
00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:50.559
<v Speaker 3>tight end can stay and back can well John Haynick

198
00:09:50.600 --> 00:09:51.919
<v Speaker 3>Gay was playing for in a different.

199
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:53.279
<v Speaker 4>Conference last year. You can.

200
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:54.919
<v Speaker 3>You can help out with a tight end. You can

201
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.799
<v Speaker 3>help out with a running back. So really the individual

202
00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.200
<v Speaker 3>match up here, Tony, I think it may be little

203
00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:02.320
<v Speaker 3>misleading to call it an individual matchup because it won't

204
00:10:02.360 --> 00:10:04.720
<v Speaker 3>be individual. So based solely on that, if it was

205
00:10:04.759 --> 00:10:06.480
<v Speaker 3>an individual matchup, I would put this right at the

206
00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:07.000
<v Speaker 3>head of the list.

207
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:09.279
<v Speaker 4>But based on that, I'm gonna put this forth.

208
00:10:09.559 --> 00:10:10.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, I think we're gonna have to stop doing

209
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:13.480
<v Speaker 2>these shows because you've you've broken them.

210
00:10:13.759 --> 00:10:15.720
<v Speaker 4>Game theory, Friends, game theory.

211
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:22.240
<v Speaker 2>Next one, Tom Michigan quarterback Price underwent against Ohio State

212
00:10:22.279 --> 00:10:23.120
<v Speaker 2>safety Terry Moore.

213
00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>A little bit different.

214
00:10:24.440 --> 00:10:27.840
<v Speaker 2>You know this is one where certainly Price Underwood is

215
00:10:27.879 --> 00:10:30.559
<v Speaker 2>gonna want to throw down field Ohio State, Terry Moore.

216
00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:32.879
<v Speaker 1>Is gonna want to you know, eliminate keep that from happening.

217
00:10:34.519 --> 00:10:36.960
<v Speaker 2>This is quarterback versus safety is more of like an

218
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.080
<v Speaker 2>abstract kind of situation.

219
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>Quarterback versus right right, but also.

220
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:45.759
<v Speaker 2>Can be the difference in operationally who succeeds.

221
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.519
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and so I can either put this one the

222
00:10:49.559 --> 00:10:53.039
<v Speaker 3>matchup of Michigan's quarterback against Ohio State number one or

223
00:10:53.120 --> 00:10:54.679
<v Speaker 3>number five on this list, which puts me in a

224
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.039
<v Speaker 3>great position not knowing what else there is. If it

225
00:10:57.080 --> 00:10:59.440
<v Speaker 3>is Joe versus the volcano, I'm going to punch you.

226
00:10:59.480 --> 00:11:01.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm just like you know, I will turn the camera

227
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 3>off so there's not video evidence, and then I'm going

228
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:04.639
<v Speaker 3>to punch you directly.

229
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:04.720
<v Speaker 4>In the face.

230
00:11:07.799 --> 00:11:11.639
<v Speaker 3>I think I'm going five with this one. And here's why.

231
00:11:11.679 --> 00:11:14.879
<v Speaker 3>Because Michigan can win the game against Ohio State without

232
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:17.559
<v Speaker 3>throwing the ball deep. Ohio State can win the ball,

233
00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:21.080
<v Speaker 3>win the game against Michigan without having Terry Moore have

234
00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:25.120
<v Speaker 3>two interceptions. Whatever, Michigan is going to try to win

235
00:11:25.200 --> 00:11:29.639
<v Speaker 3>the game, throw it. You know, they're saying all the

236
00:11:29.679 --> 00:11:32.000
<v Speaker 3>right things about Bryce Underwood. Bryce Underwood is here this week,

237
00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:34.600
<v Speaker 3>which tells you that they're positioning Bryce.

238
00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:36.120
<v Speaker 4>Underwood as a as a leader.

239
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:39.960
<v Speaker 3>I continue to say, I'm not writing Bryce Underwood off,

240
00:11:41.960 --> 00:11:45.919
<v Speaker 3>but we haven't seen it yet. And we have seen

241
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.840
<v Speaker 3>Michigan win lots of football games over the years without

242
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:53.639
<v Speaker 3>great quarterback play. We have seen we have seen Michigan

243
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 3>win football games against Ohio State without.

244
00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:56.519
<v Speaker 4>Throwing the ball a lot.

245
00:11:57.440 --> 00:12:01.480
<v Speaker 3>I think Bryce Underwood, it's entirely possible that Bryce Underwood

246
00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.120
<v Speaker 3>is a key player in the Ohio State Michigan game

247
00:12:03.159 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 3>this year with his legs.

248
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:07.960
<v Speaker 4>Because you've got back the.

249
00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:11.440
<v Speaker 3>New offensive coordinator for them, he came comes over from BYU.

250
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.519
<v Speaker 3>There was a lot of QB run in that offense.

251
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.120
<v Speaker 3>I think you may see Bryce Underwood making more plays

252
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:18.519
<v Speaker 3>with his legs this year well.

253
00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.879
<v Speaker 1>And then also Terry Moore, does he come up at

254
00:12:20.879 --> 00:12:21.279
<v Speaker 1>that point?

255
00:12:21.360 --> 00:12:24.720
<v Speaker 3>Is we're projecting that he's the deep safety, so maybe

256
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:26.600
<v Speaker 3>he's out of the play a little bit more. And

257
00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:29.039
<v Speaker 3>this is more of an Earl Little matchup where you know,

258
00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Earl Little's playing in the box a little bit more,

259
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:33.120
<v Speaker 3>or Jaylen McClain's playing in.

260
00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:34.240
<v Speaker 4>The box a little bit more.

261
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:37.639
<v Speaker 3>So I'm going to talk my way out of putting

262
00:12:37.639 --> 00:12:40.159
<v Speaker 3>the Michigan quarterback versus Ohio State at the bottom of

263
00:12:40.200 --> 00:12:45.559
<v Speaker 3>my list. With with all of that hedging, I feel

264
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:48.799
<v Speaker 3>pretty proud of myself right now, but I'm bracing myself

265
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:50.919
<v Speaker 3>for whatever the last the last matchup.

266
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:52.879
<v Speaker 2>You're going to list here, I think you're gonna be okay, Okay,

267
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 2>And that is Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith against

268
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:59.240
<v Speaker 2>Oregon cornerback Brandon Finnie. Okay, who may be the best

269
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:02.679
<v Speaker 2>corner in the car for instance, And this one is

270
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:04.519
<v Speaker 2>being played at Ohio State.

271
00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.559
<v Speaker 1>We know we've seen some big receiver.

272
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 2>Games, whether it's Oregon and Evan Stewart against Denzel Burke

273
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:14.840
<v Speaker 2>in twenty twenty four. Jeremiah certainly in the Rose Bowl,

274
00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:16.600
<v Speaker 2>I had a big game. The big first half kind

275
00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:17.480
<v Speaker 2>of disappeared.

276
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:20.159
<v Speaker 3>In the second half, if I recall when they were

277
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:21.440
<v Speaker 3>up by thirty five points.

278
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:25.879
<v Speaker 2>Yes, so Jeremiah Smith versus Brandon Finnie, two of the

279
00:13:25.879 --> 00:13:28.720
<v Speaker 2>premiere players athletes in the Big tim.

280
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:30.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, okay, I'm okay with this.

281
00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:32.840
<v Speaker 3>This is one where if I had to go back

282
00:13:32.879 --> 00:13:35.440
<v Speaker 3>and reorder things, I'd probably shuffle some things around a

283
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 3>little bit, But I'm okay with this being number one

284
00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:41.679
<v Speaker 3>on the list because we have seen we have seen

285
00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:43.120
<v Speaker 3>Jeremiah Smith against Oregon.

286
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:45.840
<v Speaker 4>We have seen little guest shot from Tim may there.

287
00:13:47.360 --> 00:13:55.159
<v Speaker 4>Oh yeah, we we I.

288
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:59.000
<v Speaker 2>Think as always with Tim May.

289
00:13:58.519 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 3>We, I I can see I can see this being

290
00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 3>a legitimate number one on the list because Oregon and

291
00:14:05.159 --> 00:14:07.519
<v Speaker 3>Ohio State the I don't have my copy of Pick

292
00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:08.840
<v Speaker 3>six previews here right now.

293
00:14:08.919 --> 00:14:10.519
<v Speaker 4>It's over on the over on the table over.

294
00:14:10.399 --> 00:14:13.399
<v Speaker 3>There as I'm doing research for some of these some

295
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:17.679
<v Speaker 3>of these teams. But he has Brett Siancia has Oregon

296
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 3>number one, Ohio State two. I mean that that is

297
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.960
<v Speaker 3>that very well could be a matchup we see three

298
00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:24.840
<v Speaker 3>times this year, at least two.

299
00:14:25.159 --> 00:14:26.679
<v Speaker 4>I would probably take the over.

300
00:14:26.519 --> 00:14:29.919
<v Speaker 3>One and a half on Ohio State Oregon matchups this season.

301
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:34.720
<v Speaker 3>I think that that's one where it's going to be.

302
00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:36.679
<v Speaker 3>That's that's another one where I don't think that's going

303
00:14:36.720 --> 00:14:38.399
<v Speaker 3>to be a thirteen to ten kind of game this year.

304
00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:42.759
<v Speaker 3>I think that's a game where you could you could expect,

305
00:14:42.960 --> 00:14:44.600
<v Speaker 3>you know, at least in the twenties and you know,

306
00:14:44.759 --> 00:14:47.399
<v Speaker 3>maybe a thirty something to twenty something you're going to

307
00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.720
<v Speaker 3>have to throw the ball. Jeremiah Smith is the guy

308
00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:52.759
<v Speaker 3>who is going to be the difference maker for Ohio State.

309
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.080
<v Speaker 3>And as you said, that is that is a matchup

310
00:14:55.120 --> 00:14:57.399
<v Speaker 3>of two guys who could be first team All Conference

311
00:14:57.399 --> 00:15:01.559
<v Speaker 3>players and who going head to head in a game

312
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:03.440
<v Speaker 3>that could be a number one versus number two kind

313
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:07.639
<v Speaker 3>of game. Absolutely, I think could be. It could be

314
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:09.919
<v Speaker 3>a very legitimate number one. Even if you had given

315
00:15:09.960 --> 00:15:10.799
<v Speaker 3>me all of.

316
00:15:10.759 --> 00:15:12.879
<v Speaker 4>The even if you had told me all the questions

317
00:15:12.919 --> 00:15:15.600
<v Speaker 4>on the test while I was taking the test. No, no,

318
00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:16.279
<v Speaker 4>this is not.

319
00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:19.639
<v Speaker 1>An open book test. This is you gotta be prepared.

320
00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.679
<v Speaker 4>So an open book test. You see the answers. I'm

321
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.039
<v Speaker 4>just looking to see the questions.

322
00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:24.799
<v Speaker 1>This is.

323
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:26.720
<v Speaker 4>This is just when I give you the answers, they

324
00:15:26.799 --> 00:15:28.039
<v Speaker 4>changed the questions. This is.

325
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.840
<v Speaker 3>This is as as as as someone said at one point.

326
00:15:31.200 --> 00:15:34.720
<v Speaker 2>So you've got a number one, Brandon Finney versus Jeremiah Smith,

327
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Number two, Charlie Becker versus Devin Sanchez, number three, Jordan

328
00:15:38.799 --> 00:15:40.120
<v Speaker 2>Marshall versus Payton Piers.

329
00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Number four, John Henry Daily versus Philip Jamiel.

330
00:15:43.440 --> 00:15:44.120
<v Speaker 4>That's that's the one.

331
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:46.600
<v Speaker 3>I would move up up the list if I had

332
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:52.879
<v Speaker 3>this to do Oliver I at least at least three,

333
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:56.120
<v Speaker 3>at least three and maybe two.

334
00:15:56.960 --> 00:15:57.679
<v Speaker 4>I kind of want to.

335
00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.200
<v Speaker 3>I kind of want to see him against Oklahoma and

336
00:16:00.240 --> 00:16:03.559
<v Speaker 3>see what he looks like against good opposition this year,

337
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:06.919
<v Speaker 3>to see if he's twenty twenty, you know, twenty twenty

338
00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:09.320
<v Speaker 3>five John Henry Daily, or if he's a little lesser

339
00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:09.639
<v Speaker 3>than that.

340
00:16:09.679 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 4>But yeah, I would, I would have that ahead of

341
00:16:12.519 --> 00:16:14.440
<v Speaker 4>the Jordan Marshall, Peyton Pierce one.

342
00:16:14.519 --> 00:16:17.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and I think one in five makes sense to me.

343
00:16:17.200 --> 00:16:20.000
<v Speaker 2>Bryce Enderwood like quarterback versus safety or quarterback or is

344
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.840
<v Speaker 2>like quarterback versus anybody. It's a little bit more abstract,

345
00:16:22.879 --> 00:16:25.559
<v Speaker 2>so it's like it's not as he's not just going

346
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:28.480
<v Speaker 2>against this one guy. So it's harder to quantify that matchup.

347
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:32.000
<v Speaker 2>But how would you rank them? No knowing having more

348
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:32.879
<v Speaker 2>information to being.

349
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Smarter than Tom getting these rankings. You're like watching this

350
00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:39.960
<v Speaker 1>year like Tom, this is this is ridiculous. Just listen,

351
00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:40.600
<v Speaker 1>just study this.

352
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:42.639
<v Speaker 3>How did you not know that John Henry Daily was

353
00:16:42.679 --> 00:16:44.639
<v Speaker 3>going to be the next name that he said?

354
00:16:44.799 --> 00:16:46.200
<v Speaker 4>Okay, how did you not anticipate that?

355
00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>So I hate that thumbs up.

356
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:50.759
<v Speaker 2>If you're watching and if you enjoy these shows where

357
00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:53.320
<v Speaker 2>we have Tom blindly ranked things and you enjoy the

358
00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.759
<v Speaker 2>fact that he does not like these shows. Let us

359
00:16:55.840 --> 00:16:57.759
<v Speaker 2>know we'll do more. Is there something you want Tom

360
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:03.159
<v Speaker 2>to blindly rank anything? Pop music, TV shows, Tom loves TV.

361
00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:05.200
<v Speaker 3>Shows, pizza styles, pizza smiles.

362
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:11.079
<v Speaker 2>It's just yeah, anything like that, anything pertinent to what

363
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:12.000
<v Speaker 2>this show is all about.

364
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:14.960
