Speaker 1: What's up everybody, and welcome to it just means more
football and coffee. I'm Rob Williams. He's Craig McMichael. Don't
miss out on what's coming up this week. We have
some really to quote Craig, not exciting things happening this
week in college football, and so we had a lot
to talk about to catch up on what happened last weekend.
Big what's nine pm? Dare I ask? What's in the cup? Uh?
You know what.
Speaker 2: We're keeping it. We're keeping it clean. It was just
water tonight, just trying to stay hydrated for the week.
We've got a busy week of sports at the high
school at the middle school this week, so I've got
I've got a full slate Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, so I'm
making sure we're going to be fully hydrated. More importantly,
my friend you are in upstate South Carolina. How are
you doing? Everybody okay over there? It looks a little
a little bit where you're at, so let us know
you're okay.
Speaker 1: In the spirit of college football, I just finished off
a nice doctor Pepper zero, So shout out to Quinn
yours and the new fans or the new doctor pepper commercials. Yeah,
upstate South Carolina. We are in the recovery stages of
Hurricane Aleen, running on a generator right now. I got
maybe refrigerator rolling, no AC, no power. This is day
three of no power. They've estimated that we're going to
run through Friday, the fourth before we get power restored.
I have a giant cedar tree in my yard and
my truck is at the tai yard. So it's been
an eventful weekend with all the fun here. Honestly, though, Craig,
I'm thankful that we're safe. I'm thankful that we're together,
and I'm thankful that we have the generator currently running
to keep our groceries cold. That's That's more than a
lot of people can say. It's catastrophic out here. I've
never seen anything like this in this part of the
country because we're so far from the coast. We're the
cost and we're we're, you know, ten twelve hours from
where this main landfall, and it is just war zone
out there. I've never seen so many trees down. Every
power line that you encounter is pretty much down. So
you know, we're a five minute drive to some restaurants
and stores and gas stations that are getting it back
up and rolling resident. It's pretty bleep. But again, waffle
House is of course open, and I heard that Friday
on the on the this the very tip end of
the storm, waffle House has already opened, no power. The
cook was grilling with a flash long sword and they
were taking cash app So waffle House is uh, never
shut down. And that's a true story. That is not
me making up a joke. But it could be much worse.
Western North Carolina is absolutely underwater. Chimney Rock was washed
off the map, and other small towns in that way.
So keeping everybody in our thoughts, in prayers and you know,
just sweating out here waiting on the lights to come
back on. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, a shout out to I know you guys had
service this morning, and and I and I and I
gave you a shout out earlier. We were talking that
I love that you were there for your community and
that you guys still found a way through kind of
like the crazy and everything that was going on, still
get together on Sunday and kind of come together. So
I wanted to get I want to give you at
hat tip and a shoutout off for that for you,
for you, for you really just you know, take taking
taking care of everybody in the community. So good job
and good job to you guys us for that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I can't take any credit,
but definitely you know, appreciate it. And it was cool
to get together for a church service this morning, a
couple hundred people coming together just to just to pray
together and to look for ways to help in the community.
We were able to really make some connections with people
with needs, people who were able to have resources to
help with those needs. So we're continuing to do that,
pouring entire soup kitchens and people with chainsaws and people
with hot water, all the above. So yeah, it was great.
It's it's been good just to be kind of coming
together as a community, no doubt about it. And one
thing that brings us all together in community is what football.
Of course football it is. It is one thing that
in America that we can always bond over. Let's uh,
let's take a look back. We really talked a lot
about Georgia Alabama last week. You and I both took
You and I both took Georgia.
Speaker 2: Did that not go well?
Speaker 1: It apparently did not. You know though it turned out
going a little better than and what it did to
start off with, what were your thoughts? I know I
was able to kind of follow along with you via
text and our writer chat and so forth. But yeah,
for the listeners, what was the roller coaster of emotions
from a Georgia perspective? Just covering the team and thinking
about how to put that material together? Of twenty eight nothing,
thirty to seven, Oh my gosh, we have to lead.
What's going on? Ryan Williams snatches it away and up
and down goes to the roller coaster.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I mean it was a total roller coaster
of emotions. And if I can just offer one piece
of advice to the Georgia Bulldogs when they play in
Alabama the next time, nobody were black. You know, in
two thousand and eight, Georgia wore those black uniforms and
they went to their funeral. I think they were also
down about thirty five seven at halftime, and I remember vividly.
I had a little party for the family over and
just was about devastated for that one. You know, Saturday
to night, the dogs running white on the field, but
all the coaching staff had their black on. But you know,
Jalen Milroe, Man, it just took just impressive. I mean
that was my biggest takeaway, you know, doing my halftime
right up. It was a really contra a contrast between
the two quarterbacks. Milroe was almost perfect. I think he
had two incompletions. But I mean whether he was throwing
the ball and whether he was running the ball, he
looked calm, he looked confident, and as I wrote in
the recap last night, he looked like the top top
five pick. You know, you contrast that with Carson Beck
I love. You know what Mike Bobo and Georgia did
in that first drive. You know, they hit Dominic Love
it for a fit fifteen yard first down. They then
take a deep shot down that right sideline. It hits
off Aer Smith's hands. You know, I wrote about it
in the thing, and I truly believe that if Arian
Smith comes down with that ball, does it change the
trajectory of that half in that game where you see
it's like, Okay, cool, it's gonna be a shot shootout.
It's gonna be something similar to like what we saw
a couple of years ago at Alabama Tennessee, where they're
just going to match each other's score for score. Instead,
you know, Georgia basically goes, you know, three downs and
now and Alabama just you know, was rolling in the
first half. I mean, and Georgia look conservative. But the
biggest thing that I took away even you know, I know,
we didn't talk as much to the second half, and
you know, there's some revisionist history here with Georgia with
with you know, when you're looking at social media, you're
looking at the message boards, Georgia fandoms like, oh we
came back, this was great, this was fantastic. I'm gonna
be honest, up until we made it thirty four to
thirty three with about two minutes and change left in
that game, that comeback felt like fools goal. It just
something doesn't seem right with the Bulldogs. They are lacking
a playmaker. Aeron Smith made a big play, Dylan Bell
made a big play that they're at the end of
the game. They were trying to force feed love it.
Love It is a nice secondary piece, but Georgia is
just missing that brock Bowers, that Lad mccacky. Who is
that dog that's gonna come up and be there as
that help, that help or also be there as a
safety net. And as much as I love to comeback
in the second half, it just, you know, I'm gonna
be honest, I don't buy. I'm not buying the narrative
that this made Georgia, you know, this top team. They
are flawed. And I say that as I love the Dogs,
but I'm trying to look at this in the most
holistic way possible. They are missing that X factor and
they with road games still at Texas next month, They're
going to play Tennessee at home. You know, I know
Ole miss dropped it. We're going to talk about them
in a bit to Kentucky this weekend, but they have
to also go to Oxford in November. Those are three
more games, you know, and right now it's like who
is going to be that X factor, whether it's on
offense or on defense. You know, defensively, they got gashed.
I don't know what it is. Their defensive line is
almost non existent. They have no edge presence. I feel
like every time a team runs to the left hand
side the Georgia defensive right hand side, that the defensive end,
the linebacker is getting hooked and there is a big gap.
So I know, I sunt doom and gloom. And this
may be called first ball problems, but I think Georgia
is flawed in twenty twenty four, and I think Alabama
exposed that.
Speaker 1: I think that Jalen Milroe is a unicorn of a
quarterback and we didn't want to give him credit for that.
And when I say we, I don't just mean media,
I don't just bance. I mean collectively college football universe
over the over the past few years have not wanted
to really hand him the keys to the star that
he is, and he just decided to snatch him. I
think that developing under Kaylyn de boor Is is something
that we kind of predicted was going to be big.
It has been big. He's an elite thrower of the
football deep and he can run like nobody else that
plays this position right now, and so it's been really
special to watch. Do you think Ryan Williams is the
best freshman receiver that we've ever seen?
Speaker 2: That kid is impressive. I mean he made a couple
of I mean he made two of those catches last night.
You know, I joked in the writer's chat that one
of them was the prayer at Jordan Harre. I mean
I mean Bryant Denny when you know he caught it
streaking down the field and then he has a dagger. Yeah,
I saw, I saw something funny on Twitter when he
comes down to catch it. You know which time's left
in that game? Two minutes and twenty six seconds, second
and twenty six strikes again for.
Speaker 1: A Yeah, Yeah, that's tough. You know, he's credibly he's
incredibly impressive. He has speed. He doesn't look physically imposing
just to look at him, but neither is Devonte Smith.
And he's got a Heisman trophy in his cabinet, so
you know, it doesn't always take the body tight necessarily.
I think Ryan Williams is something special, and I think
that Kaitlyn de Borr and Alabama are on a fast
track and making a splash in the playoffs. Craig, who's the.
Speaker 2: Best team in the SEC? Best team in the SEC? I
think it's gonna I'm gonna say it's either gonna be
Alabama or Texas. That may be our SEC championship. But
but here here's the deal. I think you make strong
arguments for both of them. Caitlin de bores showed that
he's the hell of the coach on on Saturday Night.
But you know, I'm not going to discount start Sorks
with out his top two running backs, his heisman, you know,
top top ten quarterback when yours is out and he's
brought our spanning it and I know our spanning special.
But dudes living up to the damn hype and well, yeah.
Speaker 1: That was kind of that was kind of what I
was hoping for with the segue. I mean, twenty six
to thirty one or whatever it was is ridiculous. I
know it's Mississippi State, and honestly, to be fair, Misispi
State put up a little more of a fight than
I thought they would. Does that make me question Texas
or maybe there's just a little bit of fight in
the dogs because you know, they went down to Florida
last week. They're down to quarterback. It looks it looks
really doom and gloom and Startville. So I think maybe
they just mustered a little bit of a punch that
they could they could throw. But Texas looks legit. I'm
looking forward to the potential of the Texas Alabama matchup
somewhere down the road in the SEC Championship, maybe in
the playoffs.
Speaker 2: So I did. I did so, I did see. I
don't know if it was barstool Horns or somebody for
Texas posted, Hey, Georgia, this is how you beat Alabama.
Just loosen. They were showing highlights the last year's game.
So I thought that I thought that was funny. But
but but to be honest, you know, I think you
look at what Texas is doing, you look at what
Alabama's doing. They looked legit. I mean, defensively, you just
got to get a couple of steps. They have the
offense to kind of kind of kind of do what
do do what they're supposed to do. So to me,
those are the two that everyone's gonna be chasing right now.
And I think Georgia's you know, three or four, three
or four in that pack, depending on what happens with Tennessee.
Speaker 1: All right, so we talked about George Alabam. We we
touched on Texas. Now, let's flight over to Oxford for
just a second. Mark stoops and the Cats get their
biggest road wins since the seventies. What's going on with
the lane train? He seems to be pretty even keel
about it. Jackson Dark seemed less heisman worthy. And more
early Jackson dark days in this game. To me, what
were your thoughts? A little bit of a miracle for
the touchdown for Kentucky, a lucky a lucky bounce. But
that's what it takes in a big upset, and if
you're old miss, you can't put yourself in that's the.
Speaker 2: Way they win big games. I mean, think about when
they act off Lusu, you know all those years ago.
Absolutely remember remember the game's always that big one.
Speaker 1: But if you're the Rebels, you can't put yourself in
the position to be to have it be a one
score game when you're playing a team that, let's face it,
all of us know is inferior from a talent standpoint.
Speaker 2: They are, But I think what we're his head is
the exact same thing. Lane Kiffen was worried about last
year posts that Georgia loss when Georgia beat him fifty one, fourteen,
fifty one, whatever it was. You know, Georgian to handle him.
A strong defensive front disrupts that offense. Lane's offense and
you know, Charlie Weis Junior's offense works on tempo, It
works on getting the ball out quickly, it works on
you know on spreading that field. When defensive linemen can
disrupt those passing lanes, but dart under unnecessary pressure, it
stalls and makes that offense a clunk clunk. Yeah, I
think I think is probably probably the best word. It
doesn't work really well. And I think that was the
challenge that Old Miss had. You know, I think I'm
gonna say Lane Tik took a page out of next book.
You know, he was talking about it earlier in the
week before the game. He was talking about, you know,
we really haven't played anybody. Yes, yes, we've been putting
up a lot of points. Jackson is getting a lot
of love. You know, he was number one in our
Heisman voting last week. You know, he's putting up, you know,
ridiculous numbers in the SEC. But they haven't really played anybody.
They haven't played anybody with the defensive front. And I'm
almost positive I heard this with the transfer portal. This year,
Ole Miss has almost a brand new offensive starting line.
Their starting line from last year is now their backups.
And I think this is the challenge that Lane is
having an Oxford. He does really well against the same
or lesser opponents. When he goes up against a superior
defensive line. That's when his offense run runs into problems.
That's when that's when they come in. And so I think,
I think that's the challenge, and that, my friend, is
what makes me curious to hear your perspective on the
game Cocks. You know, the game Cocks. They look like
world beaters compared to Georgia and Old Miss, two of
the top ten teams in the country. Kentucky has played
both of them. Well, Kentucky lost to Georgia by one,
they beat Old Miss, yet they get house by the
game Cocks. So what can I'm going to turn the
tables back on you and ask, you know what can
the Lane Train and Revel Nation be worried about when
they come to Columbia next week at three point thirty.
Speaker 1: Yeah, beautiful transition, by the way. To get us to
next week, Saturday, October fifth, will take a look at
the slate. Let's start there with Ole Miss arriving in Colombia.
The game Cocks have what you just described, which is,
I'm going to say, an elite defensive front between Kyle Knard,
who leads the nation in sacks, and the freshman Veen.
I'm Dylan Stewart, who perhaps is one of the most
unique athletic talents that I've seen at this position. They
get into the backfield and they reac havoc. And I
think that if you have a mediocre to bad offensive line,
it's going to be a rough day going against South Carolina.
I think that LSU has one of the top offensive
lines in the country. Supposedly they did well as the
game went on. First half of the game, they weren't
really able to establish the run at all, gave up
a couple of sacks after not giving up any sacks
all year. So I think that those those two ends,
and then there's quality players in the middle. But the
thing that happened to the transfer portal over the course
of the off season was that Shane Biemer and his
staff were able to build quality depth. So now they're rotating,
you know, eight to ten guys along that defensive line.
You're you're really five or six deep at tackle, and
so that position can rotate. And we've talked before about
once the big guys are gassed, they're gased and you
can't refill them. But if you have six players and
you're in a and you're in more traditional front with
a four to three set up, and you are a
four to two five, which is really what Clayton White
likes to run in Columbia. You're going to have two
of those tackles in the middle, but if you have six,
you have three rotations that could come through and you
don't have a whole lot of drop off. And so
the second the second string ends are are okay, and
they can they can pull their weight. But those starters
in Canari and Stuart are are our problem. And I'll
put them up against any offensive line in the country
this year. They're a problem. So they're going to draw
double teams and there. And we saw, you know, the
clip that went viral a couple weeks ago with Dylan
Stewart beating the triple team against uh against the opponent there,
and I think that that is something that's just unique
to the game Cocks team this year that could cause
on Miss some problems. We've seen Lane have trouble getting
his teams ready for quality road games in the past.
This will be the first true true road test for
ole Miss this year. And we know that williams Brice
is gonna be rocking for that three thirty kickoff. Hopefully
for the game Cocks, you get your starting quarterback when
our sellers back from the ankle sprain. Rocket Sanders, a
former ol SEC back, also has an ankle injury. So
coming off a bye week, you hope to get a
little bit healthier if you have those guys back. Looking
at what Kentucky did, I might lie towards cautious optimism
and picking the game Cocks this weekend.
Speaker 2: That you know that that's a big spread right now.
We've got Old Miss favored by nine points. I think
that's a little high. But here here's the deal. One
of the things I was impressed with with Lane. Lane
just kind of owned the loss, you know, kind of said, hey,
that's on us, you know, we kind of are learning
from it.
Speaker 1: And.
Speaker 2: It show. It still shows even though how far Lane
has brought Old Miss, like how hard it is to
win those games you're expected to win. We we're putting
Old Miss on a pedestal where they've never been before.
You know, they are traditionally a six and six, seven
and five, five and seventeen. You know, like our guy
I a you know, who's had enough on the ship
this week. They're there for the party at the grow.
What Lane has brought is something different. There's an expectation,
there's a playoff expectation.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 2: He did a great thing with Landry on TikTok this
week about getting ready for the game, and Landry was
talking about, you know, her birthday was in December and
they were going to go, you know, New York City.
He's like, well, you know, we're supposed to be in
the playoff. Lane's bringing that expectation. But I think we're
still saying you still got to show up every week.
You know, you still got to be there. And I
think this is I think this is old missus one Bulligan.
I think they may get one more and they may
baby in the playoff any more than than than than
two losses, though, and they're gonna be on the outside end.
So so real quick to just jump around. We've got
three games with coaches that I'm gonna call in the
hot seat. We've got homecoming in Athens this week and
the Deep southholdest rivalry Brother Hugh was going to be
coming into UH to take on the dogs with Auburn. Uh,
you know Auburn and Oklahom. Well, last week played a game.
You know, we were texting back and forth about that
it looked like Auburn was comfortable, looked like Auburn was
going to take care of business. I think we were
joking about Oklahoma, saying, you know, are we the next
Nebraska of the SEC? And then all of a sudden,
Peyton Thorne shocker throws a pick six and Bloomer Sooner
comes out of Jordan are with a win. I think Auburn.
I think Auburn is in trouble, especially George's Georgia got
a big number this week. George is like twenty three
and a half points. I think that's too many points,
but that that's a big number. I think he was
a little bit in trouble. Two other games to kind
of look at. We'll kind of look at these three together.
You know, Tennessee is going to Arkansas Saturday night. I
love ABC, you know, taking the Saturday night game. Rocky
tops favored by fourteen. And then one that I know
that we've been looking at. I think last week's game
maybe tempered some of our expectation. But Florida will be
hosting the gus bus and UCF. The SEC don't work
at seven forty five and right now the Gators are
favored by one point. So you know, we've got three
coaches there. We've got We've got Freeze at Auburn, We've
got Sam Pittman at Arkansas, and then we've got old
Billy Billy Billy Billy Billy Billy at Florida. Well, maybe
he's in most trouble. What's gonna happen.
Speaker 1: Maybe here's da that's literally that I'm gonna lose all
professionalism having this discussion. He's done, that one's over. That
one is over. I think Pittman can save it. I
don't know that he saves it this week. Let's just
start with Florida. I'm gonna stick with I'm gonna stick
with u CF. I picked UF in the preseason. I'm
gonna hang with it. I know they had trouble putting
up points last week, and that's shocking against Colorado, who,
you know, just has had the most porous defense of
all time. In the past couple of years under Dion,
it's kind of been shootout or bust for the Buffalo's.
But I think the kJ Jefferson, I really like R. J.
Harvey and coming out of the backfield, I think that
they're going to cause problems for Florida's defense. Florida's defense
has not looked good at all, and so I just
I just got to imagine that Gus Maldon is scheming
something up, and I think that he has the players.
I think he has enough to get it done. I
also don't really trust Florida's offensive situation at this point either.
I think that you're rolling with merch and that's check
down city, and if you go with Wlagway, you're inexperience
and it's kind of boom or bust. He's gonna give
you some big explosives, but he's a freshman. He's just
kind of figuring his way out and in a big
time power for football. So I think Napier's in the
most trouble outslide to Tennessee in Arkansas.
Speaker 2: I think, real quick, real quick on you, uc Florida.
Remember Gus. Gus has a player for the dramatic, like
when everyone counts them out. I remember a couple of
few games that I remembers us very very well, and
I think it would be fitting for for UCF to
kind of come in there and not going on Florida.
Even Florida place off the lomp So I'm right there,
all right, go ahead, what else you got for me?
Speaker 1: No doubt I completely agree with that that take on Gus.
I think that Tennessee wins this week against Arkansas, I
don't think that. I think Arkansas has looked better than
a three and two. They're competing, they're competing, Yeah, so
it's hard, and they.
Speaker 2: Gave, they gave. They gave away the game at Oklahoma State.
They could be four and one. They were in that
game all weekend. Against A and M this week, and
so I'm totally cutting you off. So I apologize, but
I'm right there with you.
Speaker 1: They competed twelve of thirteen for A and M over Arkansas,
and almost every one of them has looked just like that.
That's super closed. Just can't close it out. So part
of me thinks, from a fan based standpoint, I don't
have a good pulse on what's happening in Fayeteville from
the fans standpoint, From the booster standpoint, we know the
Tyson Chicken money is there. Go ask cal about that.
I mean, they can make it happen. But what I
just don't know are they upset they gave the game away?
And still Water. Are they happy they compete with Oklahoma State?
Are they upset about this loss to Texas A and
M to the point they want to fire him because
it's twelve out of thirteen they've all been close. Or
are they happy that they kept it close and they
look competitive and they look like they can actually get
something accomplished. It does not work out well for them
that they're now three and two and they get the
balls coming in hot. I do think they can keep
it competitive, though for a time. The problem is Taylor
Green has a tendency to give the ball away, and
if he does that, this snowballs really quickly. Also, if
you go three and out and you put Tennessee on
the field a couple times really quick, this could snowball quickly.
So they're going to need to move the ball. But
at the end of the day, is Bobby Petrino and
I have some faith in him to scheme something to
at least keep it competitive. I don't think he freezes
in trouble. I think it's too early. I do think.
I do think the twenty three and a half, though,
is probably an accurate number. I think Georgia actulutely rolls.
Speaker 2: I hope, so like I don't know, maybe you see
some Let me say one one last thing, I Pittman.
Then we'll talk about Hewan, then we'll talk about the
Deep South.
Speaker 1: All was right avoy.
Speaker 2: So looking at the rest of the schedule, we've got Tennessee, LSU,
Mississippi State, Old Miss Texas, Louisiana Tech MISSOI for Arkansas,
I've got two wins on there. I've got Mississippi State
and Louisiana Tech. If they're looking for one, they always
play Old miss hard and it's always weird. So that
could be what gets Sam Pittman to six and six.
So you know, I think that Oklahoma State game may
be what you know, cost them a five hundred record
this year, but it's definitely gonna be close.
Speaker 1: I agreed. That's I think. I think they could get
Missouri to close the year. That's my my giveaway for this.
We haven't talked about it, but in a minute, we
can touch Missouri. Let's let's talk off Georgia quickly, because
I think that Georgia rolls. But I think that Hugh
is going to figure it out. They have to give
him the year. We said this last week. I think
he's just punned. I think he's just punted on this year.
And that's why I didn't go get a quarterback. And
Peyton Thorn is what he is, and he switches back.
And I saw the news this week that they were
switching back to Peyton Thorn, and I thought, Okay, this
solidifies my take that they're going to beat Oklahoma because
I have enough belief in Peyton Thorn that he can
go out and get it done against the team that
is turning to this freshman.
Speaker 2: His own coaching, he throws it to the wrong team
too often. Come on, man, come on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well a lot of coaches think that. They just
all say it in a press conference. You got to
pick your spot.
Speaker 2: Just listen. Listen. I want to see it. Listen. It's
homecoming this weekend. It's a great rivalry Georgia has on
this rivalry of late, but like I want to see
it doesn't. But here's the thing. I want to see
Georgia put.
Speaker 1: It on somebody.
Speaker 2: You know, they did it against Clemston, but like they're
just missing it, man, And that's my thing is like
show up. You know who's going to be that guy?
I think Dylan Bell could be that guy. I think
he's a pretty I think love it, love It's good.
I think Arian Smith can be good. But here's the deal,
Like in Bobo called the nice game, in the second half,
throw the ball down the throw the ball down the
damn field. I'm sorry, but like these checkdowns and these
swing passes, throw the ball down the field to these guys,
take your shots, and then that's going to allow Trams
to run the ball. This checkdown stuff, the super conservative
stuff where you go underneath the shell, it just ain't working.
And listen, the problem is, you know ratt Ledge is
out for a while. The center went out, so you
know they're gonna have some issues there.
Speaker 1: He's feeling it out in the first half. He's great
to have time adjustments, and that's just he's gonna come out.
He's gonna do body blows. He's gonna check and he's
gonna figure out what you're doing and try to, you know,
break down your scheme and try to see how you're
gonna respond. And the second half he's gonna hit you
in the mouth. That's just how I get it.
Speaker 2: But I want time one time. I get it, I know,
But like listen, and again we're spoiled here. Yeah, what
would what? Monkin was creative? He found some ways to
do some things and just push it. Yeah, and that's
what I'm looking for.
Speaker 1: You.
Speaker 2: It's just just not enough. And you know, I just
I want a little bit more. So you're gonna you're
gonna get I want to see it.
Speaker 1: You're gonna get what you're looking for because Georgia's defense
has what it takes to make Peyton Thorn gets the
ball up. Okay, Missouri, Missouri, Texas, A and M quickly.
I'm really torn on this one because I picked Missouri.
I think Missouri probably still wins. I'm just not really
sold him to being that great. I think that there's.
Speaker 2: Number so so so this is what Vegas thinks. Missouri's
number nine in the country. Texas and somehow is number
twenty five because they can't count. I don't know. I
can't figure it out. But yet A and M is
favored by one point. Nobody believes that. Nobody believes in Missouri.
Speaker 1: I just don't. I can't see the defense is okay,
it's not what it was last year. I lost Bla
Baker Lu and none of that's an old narrative. Everybody
said that over and over again. Brady Cook has not
been stellar. I think there're one Luther Burden away from
six and six seven o'cocks.
Speaker 2: Yep, I agree. I just I just nothing has been
impressive this year for Missouri. And I know Brett's gonna
be mad at us when when when he hears this.
But like they're just we've talked about it way back
in sec media days. You're not hearing anything. They're not
really scaring anybody. They're playing these close games, they're not
really putting it on people. So yeah, I'm I'm right
there with you, I think and M may may may
may get may get them so to see it happens.
But I'm right there.
Speaker 1: And the difference is A and M has a different
approach now because you have a completely different quarterback to
prepare for. Because with Wayman going out, I think that
might have actually found something because now a little more
dual threat. And what they're doing Brady Cook is is
efficient and efficient works when the rest of the team
is really really good. He's not an All star, and
I think that hurts Missouri. Okay, so that's what we're
looking at next week October fifth. I'm gonna stand on
Texas as the best team in the SEC, but man
Jalen Milroe and the Crimson Tide are coming for him.
We'll see what happens as we continue throughout the season.
But before we go, let's take a minute for our
last word. Did you have thoughts here? Is this a
free fraud for me to take it? You know?
Speaker 2: If you've got I got something. If you don't have anything,
but I got a pretty good one. So we sort
of touched on it earlier.
Speaker 1: As you know, Craig and I are part of the
Last Word on Sports Network, Last Word on College Football,
and we are here to talk ball with you each
and every week. We hope you've enjoyed a cup of
coffee and maybe a orange biscuit. We hope that you
have power in your house unlike many of us here
in the Southeast. But as an homage to our home network,
it is time for the last word. Craig, give it
to us. What's your waffle? Last order?
Speaker 2: When you go? How do you like hash Browns?
Speaker 1: Oh? My gosh, it's an all star easy and I'm
just gonna go scattered well on the hash Browns, some
ketchup on top, going regular, lawful I won't anything extra.
I'm going to doubt it ins or an egg scrambled.
I want the sausage, sausage over bacon every single time.
And I'm from the South. I love gritz, but I'm
taking the hash browns scattered well, grape jelly on the toast,
and a couple of black coffee.
Speaker 2: Of course, So I have to be honest. I have
to go like two hours to find to go to
my closest waffle house. Thanks Michigan, we have Chick fil As. Now,
maybe we can bring waff flows. But when I'm going,
we are going scattered. We're going smothered, We're going covered.
The eggs are going over easy. You gotta break the bait,
break break the yolk a little bit. You got mix
the milk with the ashbol That is a way to go.
I'm call with sausage. I am sorry, sir, but we
are going with bacon. We are gonna have bacon there
because bacon is God's gift to us all and that
is the way to go, and that is your order.
And we're gonna make sure that coffee is black. We're
also getting an orange juice and then we're also getting
a apple juice for the little one, or let's be honest,
if Mob's not there, she's getting a lemonade because when
she's with dad she can get with it whatever she wants.
Speaker 1: My secondary order for myself and for my daughter and
probably my wife as well, is chocolate milk. Now, the
stellar chocolate milk. It is whole milk, is thick and rich.
So maybe alongside my coffee, I'll get a nice cool
glass of chocolate milk. But look, my hill to Die
own sausas ever bacon all day. I don't want to
hear it. It's just is what it is. Links, links, patties.
It doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 2: I absolutely love it. Well, listen, my friend, I hope
you get some power back. Like I said, I love
the fact that you work through it. I work through
this power odds to join us today. We'll be praying
for you, making sure everything's going well. We will catch
you all next week. And it just means more football
and coffee.
Speaker 1: Peace.
