In 13 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:43,799 the previous week we recorded while I was watching the rain, 14 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,600 Stephen was watching the rain. We were waiting for Helene 15 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,320 to come roaring in. And now tonight, as we sit 16 00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:54,320 here on Tuesday evening, Stephen is on the precipice of 17 00:00:54,439 --> 00:00:59,759 a monster in Hurricane Milton coming shore in central Florida 18 00:00:59,759 --> 00:01:03,920 long the Tampa coastline. Steven, I'll know is to say, 19 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,120 after seeing that baby, when I see meteorologists crying on television, 20 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:09,879 when I see who is it? The mayor say, if 21 00:01:09,879 --> 00:01:12,519 you're an evacuation zone and don't leave, you will die. 22 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,359 And I see other things of that kind of totality 23 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,400 where meteorologists or like speechless. 24 00:01:17,719 --> 00:01:18,680 Speaker 3: And those kind of things. 25 00:01:19,159 --> 00:01:22,519 Speaker 2: I add those things up to say, holy cow, this 26 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,439 is gonna be a big. 27 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,519 Speaker 4: En Yeah, this is gonna be one that's gonna go 28 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,640 down to the record books for sure. And thankfully this 29 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,840 thing is starting to track a little further south than 30 00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:39,680 what they had initially expected. So for both of us 31 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,400 in the Tampa region, that's good news because we should 32 00:01:43,439 --> 00:01:46,439 be on the north end of this storm. That may 33 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,359 be where all the rain is, but the storm surge 34 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,200 is what's going to be the doozy for this one. 35 00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:55,439 You know, you're looking at ten to fifteen feet of 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,319 storm surge, is what they're saying if you're on the 37 00:01:59,359 --> 00:02:01,439 southern edge of this, and that's going to be Our 38 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,879 friends a little further south in Sarasota and in Port 39 00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:09,280 Charlotte and even down into Fort Myers should have some 40 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,199 have a doozy of storm search here coming up here 41 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,599 the next day or two. But as for me, I'm 42 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,960 lucky that my mother has this condo. It is in 43 00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:23,400 a non flood, nonivag zone. It's forty six feet above 44 00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:27,280 sea level and we're three stories above that. So it's 45 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,000 worked out well that the four of us are going 46 00:02:30,039 --> 00:02:31,719 to be hunkered down, and it's a good thing. I'm 47 00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:33,800 going to get to do this one here this week 48 00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:36,919 because they're saying that if the power goes out, it 49 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,159 might be a week or so before we get power back. 50 00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:41,240 You know all about that, So I'm going to get 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,400 to live through that here probably coming up to the 52 00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:44,439 next day or so. 53 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, it certainly was not fun.

You know you're looking at in the air, 100 00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:23,959 a perfect day through the air, five of five, one 101 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,879 hundred and forty yards and two touchdowns. Oh yeah, and 102 00:05:27,959 --> 00:05:30,879 then by the way, also ran the ball thirteen times 103 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,199 for one hundred and ten yards and two more scores. 104 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,399 I mean, you know we're gonna be talking about when 105 00:05:37,519 --> 00:05:41,120 when we're looking at the scoring leaders in major in 106 00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:44,759 FBS college football this year, I think that you know, 107 00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:48,759 Daily is probably gonna end up being one of the 108 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,680 top two or three players in college football this year 109 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:55,879 when it comes scoring wise, with all of the touchdowns 110 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:56,720 he's scoring. 111 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, Steven, You're totally right. 112 00:05:58,319 --> 00:06:01,639 Speaker 2: Bryce and Daily just continue to spectacular play, accounting for 113 00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:05,319 four touchdowns I mean, five for five on through the air, 114 00:06:05,439 --> 00:06:09,399 two scores, ran thirteen times for one ten two touchdowns. 115 00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 3: I mean. 116 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,600 Speaker 2: Army now off to his best start since nineteen ninety 117 00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,040 six and has the longest winning streak in the nation 118 00:06:15,079 --> 00:06:18,000 after Missouri Throttles A and M. But you know, as 119 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,519 much as you know Blake Horvath is getting a lot 120 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,000 of ink for what he's doing for the Naval Academy 121 00:06:24,079 --> 00:06:28,199 under center boy Bryson Daly has been every single bit 122 00:06:28,399 --> 00:06:31,319 is good so far in this young season as Army 123 00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:35,079 throttles themselves Tulsa forty nine to seven five and zero, 124 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,199 four and zero in their first season in the American 125 00:06:38,759 --> 00:06:41,079 I don't know what more you can expect, but Bryson 126 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,680 Daily is sure. He is the straw that is stirring 127 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,920 that drink and the reason why Army is off to 128 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,120 this incredible start. 129 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 3: Stephen, unbelievable. 130 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, they really are. And you think about, you know, 131 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,040 all of the pundits when they start looking at the 132 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:06,920 the the strength of the group of six, uh, you know, 133 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,319 and when they when they go okay, who's the strongest 134 00:07:09,639 --> 00:07:12,839 of these group of six teams when you are looking 135 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:18,680 at possibilities in the college Football Playoff, and right up 136 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,199 at the top of every single one of them that 137 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,879 I've seen over the last two weeks, you have seen 138 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,199 Army and that that's a that's a testament to Todd 139 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:31,279 Mounkin and everything that he's been able to do to 140 00:07:31,399 --> 00:07:35,439 get his team going. Uh and have such this strong 141 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,240 start in the American this year. 142 00:07:37,959 --> 00:07:43,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's well, we'll start obviously Army and Tulsa. 143 00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:45,199 We'll get to Navy and Air Force in a second, 144 00:07:45,279 --> 00:07:47,000 the first leg of the c I see trophy. But 145 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:52,000 let's knock Army in Tulsa out because you know Army, look, 146 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,439 Rice and daily is the reason. 147 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 3: But how about this Army defense. 148 00:07:55,399 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 2: They haven't given up more than two touchdowns in a 149 00:07:57,639 --> 00:08:01,319 single game all season. And it continues with a throttling 150 00:08:01,439 --> 00:08:04,600 of Tulsa forty nine to seven again this time it's 151 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:09,040 on the road, and you know, just spectacular play offensively 152 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,399 but also by the Army defense. They're doing it both ways, 153 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,879 front way, sideways, forward offense defense. There's really nothing that 154 00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:19,800 Army is not doing well right now. And you've got 155 00:08:19,839 --> 00:08:22,360 a credit Jeff Munkin. You know, in the turnaround, I 156 00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:24,879 guess if you want to call it a turnaround, you know, 157 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,199 and certainly you know Navies going through their own but 158 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,519 you know, especially a turnaround when they're in the conference 159 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,480 for the first time and they can't really control that 160 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,399 schedule that they've done so well over the last few seasons. 161 00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:39,679 But my goodness, you know, forty nine to seven, you know, 162 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,600 they hop on them, you know, early, and they don't 163 00:08:42,639 --> 00:08:45,000 look back, especially after a seven to seven quarter. They 164 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,600 score two touchdowns in the in the second and then 165 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,879 build on it in the third, and that's where it 166 00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:53,799 came to end. But you know the fact that Army 167 00:08:53,879 --> 00:08:56,440 was so efficient in this one, you know, only having 168 00:08:56,519 --> 00:08:58,919 eight third downs, you know, that's not something you see 169 00:08:59,039 --> 00:09:03,320 very often. Were an option team only has eight third downs, 170 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,879 they converted half of them, and plus they converted on 171 00:09:05,919 --> 00:09:09,600 their one four down. But just amazing, really, especially they're 172 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,200 only having the ball thirty five minutes. That tells you 173 00:09:12,399 --> 00:09:15,519 what quick strike in big plays. You know, Army was 174 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:20,080 all about this game. Stephen, Yeah, you. 175 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 4: Think about it normally if you look at college football 176 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,919 in the same way as college basketball. You know, Bob 177 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,399 Knight used to say at Indiana he wanted to make 178 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:38,240 as many free throws as his opponents attempted. And you 179 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,519 think about it, Tulsa, you know, converted eight of their 180 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,279 third downs out of seventeen, so you know, the Golden 181 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,320 Hurricane had plenty of time on offense. But you look 182 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:56,080 at what Army was able to do. They out passed Tulsa, 183 00:09:56,399 --> 00:09:59,399 which is an incredible stat to see one hundred and 184 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,600 sixty hundred and nine. But they're rushing for the Black 185 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:08,879 Knights out they outrushed the entire offense for Tulsa, both 186 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,480 rushing and passing. Uh, So there was there was a 187 00:10:12,639 --> 00:10:18,000 really an incredible efficiency I think it's the right word 188 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,399 for this, uh to to Armi's offense. You know, not again, 189 00:10:22,879 --> 00:10:26,840 not a whole lot of long drives, uh. You know, 190 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,919 throughout the game they only had I think one or 191 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,159 two drives that were in double digits again this week, 192 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,279 but they were able to put the ball in the 193 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,360 end zone pretty much every time they touched it. And 194 00:10:40,399 --> 00:10:43,840 that's a that's a credit to coach Monkin's offense and 195 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:47,840 and really uh the play calling there they were. They 196 00:10:47,879 --> 00:10:50,399 were really fantastic again this week. 197 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:52,799 Speaker 3: Yeah, an efficient name of the game. 198 00:10:52,919 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 2: Noah Short He catches three of the five Brice and 199 00:10:55,919 --> 00:11:00,200 Daily passes, you know, the slot back three catches one 200 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,519 hundred and twenty one yards. Two of those three catches 201 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,679 were for touchdown. Steven and then Kanye Udo he leads 202 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,440 the way on the ground. He only carried it six times, 203 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,360 but for one thirty seven and two scores. Boy, that's 204 00:11:13,399 --> 00:11:14,440 getting it done, Steven. 205 00:11:17,799 --> 00:11:21,039 Speaker 4: Yeah, that that is certainly getting it done. When you're 206 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:25,240 averaging twenty two yards per carry, you want to you 207 00:11:25,279 --> 00:11:28,919 would hope that you would get twelve or fifteen carries 208 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,519 and not just six. But you know, even with six carries, 209 00:11:32,639 --> 00:11:34,879 you're you're close to one hundred and fifty yard mark 210 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,080 when you're doing that. 211 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, like you said, you know, there's a lot of 212 00:11:40,039 --> 00:11:43,080 people now that are looking at Army and Navy maybe 213 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:47,000 as the two group of five teams, like, you know, 214 00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:47,919 are these going to be? 215 00:11:48,039 --> 00:11:49,519 Speaker 3: Could could these be? 216 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 2: You know two of our two of our teams that 217 00:11:53,159 --> 00:11:55,960 we're looking at on New Year's Day? Because you know, 218 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,480 when you look at the polls right now, you got 219 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,879 Army or at least Nay right now is sitting twenty eighth. 220 00:12:03,039 --> 00:12:05,399 If you're counting the votes, you know, in the ap pole, 221 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,399 and Army is right behind them at twenty nine, and 222 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,799 you flip it vice versa, Army's twenty eight in the 223 00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:14,799 coaches poll while Navy's just behind them at twenty nine 224 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,440 in the coaches pole. So right now, boy, these two 225 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,720 teams are really setting themselves up for, you know, something big, 226 00:12:22,759 --> 00:12:25,600 and I know everybody, the storyline just continues to kind 227 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,600 of grow Steven a little bit more and more. And yes, 228 00:12:28,639 --> 00:12:30,519 I've said it right here, it's not going to happen. 229 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,919 And I will stand by it that Army and Navy 230 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,320 will not playing back to back weeks. I just still 231 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,720 don't think they'll play both play against each other in 232 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:40,440 the American Athletic Championship Game and then have to come 233 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:44,639 back the following weekend in a regular season game in 234 00:12:44,639 --> 00:12:46,600 the Army Navy game. I just don't see it. But 235 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,720 my god, how fascinating would that be if it transpired. 236 00:12:50,759 --> 00:12:52,960 I mean, it would be one of the all timers 237 00:12:53,759 --> 00:12:55,679 in college football if we do get it. 238 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 3: But I'm just saying. 239 00:12:57,159 --> 00:13:04,399 Speaker 5: If, yeah, it's a it's a huge If Navy's schedule 240 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,559 is a lot tougher than Armies because Army doesn't have Tulane. 241 00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 4: Army didn't have Memphis, Army doesn't have us F, And 242 00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:16,480 I think those are gonna be three really tough matchups 243 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,639 for the midshipmen. That are all. You know, they were 244 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,120 able to get past Memphis, but they still have to 245 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,519 play Tulane, they still have to play us F, and 246 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,960 that's before the conference championship game. So I think it's 247 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,279 gonna be really tough for Navy, maybe a little less 248 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,440 so for Army because I think the toughest remaining games 249 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,159 on their schedule are of course the non conference game 250 00:13:42,159 --> 00:13:45,519 against noorded Dame, and I think they play UTSA, and 251 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,960 I think I think those that's it for Army. I 252 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,600 think army schedule certainly lends them to having a better 253 00:13:51,639 --> 00:13:52,840 shot at this than Navy does. 254 00:13:53,279 --> 00:13:56,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think definitely Navy's win over Memphis right 255 00:13:56,919 --> 00:13:59,799 now is without a doubt, the best win between the 256 00:13:59,799 --> 00:14:02,759 two teams. But as you said, both are gonna play 257 00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:04,759 Notre Dame. Yes, it's going to be out a conference, 258 00:14:04,759 --> 00:14:08,480 it's not a conference game. I mean, theoretically it likely 259 00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:11,279 doesn't knock either of them out because they likely both 260 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:12,279 lose to Notre Dame. 261 00:14:12,399 --> 00:14:13,039 Speaker 3: We don't know that. 262 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,159 Speaker 2: I mean, especially the way Navy and Army are playing, 263 00:14:15,159 --> 00:14:17,120 they could both you know, get a win in that 264 00:14:17,159 --> 00:14:20,120 game and you know, really shock the world as they 265 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,519 barrel down the stretch with that. 266 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: You know, Vanderbilt could beat Alabama. 267 00:14:24,519 --> 00:14:29,519 Speaker 2: Absolutely well, one hundred percent absolutely what we saw with that, anything, 268 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,840 anything is possible. All right, Steven, Let's pivot to the 269 00:14:34,879 --> 00:14:37,279 first leg of the Commander in Chief Trophy, because, as 270 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,240 we've been talking and alluding to, Army and Navy now 271 00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:44,639 both five and oh for the first time together since 272 00:14:44,799 --> 00:14:47,919 nineteen forty five. And that's because obviously Army beat Tulsa 273 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,919 forty nine to seven. Well, maybe they go to Colorado 274 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,679 Springs and they beat the Falcons thirty four to seven. 275 00:14:53,759 --> 00:14:55,559 Maybe now five and oh, two and oh in the 276 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,480 American Air Force just dying looking for a win anywhere 277 00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:02,399 after that Merrimaca win and the opener, they've lost four 278 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,120 straight Air Force now one and four. 279 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: Navy wins it. 280 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:06,799 Speaker 2: And this is kind of hard to believe, but the 281 00:15:06,919 --> 00:15:09,879 Navy wins its first CIC game, Steven, since what twenty 282 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,639 twenty one. Now they're five and oh for the first 283 00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:16,120 time in two thousand and since twenty seventeen, and this 284 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,360 was the first win in Colorado Springs for Navy since 285 00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:21,759 twenty twelve. Stephen, But you know, after you know, both 286 00:15:21,799 --> 00:15:24,279 these teams feel each other out three and out three 287 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,480 and oh sorry, three and outs on their first possession. 288 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,200 Maybe then revs it up on that next possession, and 289 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,159 you know, maybe really honestly did not look back from theirs. 290 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,120 They went on to cruise thirty four to seven, and 291 00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:42,799 just Air Force had no answer for the midshipman offensive attack, 292 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:46,080 and honestly they had no answers after a week off 293 00:15:46,159 --> 00:15:48,320 to try and get their offense jump started. There was 294 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:51,519 nothing there offensively for the Falcons either in Navy's win. 295 00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:57,559 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm curious to get your thought on this price. 296 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,600 And I said this in last week show that you know, 297 00:16:01,759 --> 00:16:05,320 if I'm Mayby, I had to going into this game. 298 00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:10,679 You looked back at what happened last year between the 299 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,120 Air Force and Army. You know, air Force came into 300 00:16:14,159 --> 00:16:17,879 that game eight to oh at home. They were they 301 00:16:17,879 --> 00:16:21,360 were certainly flying high. They certainly felt like they were 302 00:16:21,399 --> 00:16:24,000 going to be in the driver's seat for the Mountain 303 00:16:24,039 --> 00:16:27,759 West Championship at that point. And Army came into Colorado 304 00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:31,759 springs and beat them up and basically punched them in 305 00:16:31,799 --> 00:16:34,320 the mouth and said, no, no, little brother, you're you're 306 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,720 not You're not coming out of here nine and zero. 307 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,080 And they end up with a huge win in that 308 00:16:41,159 --> 00:16:45,279 game and really sent air Force into a downward spiral 309 00:16:45,399 --> 00:16:49,000 for the rest of their regular season. They basically fell apart, 310 00:16:50,039 --> 00:16:54,120 didn't get another win into their bowl game against James Madison. 311 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,240 And so I'm curious that I would I would love 312 00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:01,480 to have been able to ask coach youuber, if that game, 313 00:17:01,559 --> 00:17:04,440 even though it didn't involve maybe if they looked at 314 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,960 that and said, does it matter that we're four and 315 00:17:08,039 --> 00:17:12,440 oh and air Force one in three? You can't take 316 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,920 them lightly. You've got to go in there to their 317 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,880 house and punch them in the mouth. Yeah. 318 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's what Navy did, because boy, I mean 319 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:24,680 it was they punched him in the mouth. And you know, 320 00:17:24,759 --> 00:17:26,960 Nybe goes up fourteen to oh in that first quarter, 321 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,519 and that was it. You know, maybe just looked like 322 00:17:29,519 --> 00:17:31,799 a really well oiled machine. They didn't look like they 323 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:35,799 missed any single beats. And obviously, you know Troy Calhoun Stephen, 324 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:37,880 he tried to pull a few strings there with the 325 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,000 off week and starting Quintin Hayes, the sophomore out of Alabama, 326 00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:45,200 who had really played sparingly competed, completed five or six 327 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,920 for one hundred and fifteen and a touchdown. 328 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,519 Speaker 3: But that was it. 329 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,400 Speaker 2: I mean that that was simply all she wrote. And 330 00:17:50,559 --> 00:17:52,559 his air force could only muster one hundred and fifty 331 00:17:52,559 --> 00:17:54,640 eight yards on the ground, and you know, had a 332 00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,480 lot of guys carry the football. But you know, maybe 333 00:17:57,799 --> 00:18:01,000 they outgained the Falcons big time four sixty three. The 334 00:18:01,079 --> 00:18:03,480 two seventy three time of possession was pretty even. But 335 00:18:03,559 --> 00:18:07,000 Navy again played turnover free football. They had a few mistakes, 336 00:18:07,079 --> 00:18:10,119 you know, here and there. But Eli heiden Wright, first 337 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,200 Navy player and this is hard to this is hard 338 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,400 to believe. And I know it was reported after the 339 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,880 game that it had happened before, but Scott Strasmayer, the 340 00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,960 Navy sid uh, he correct everybody. I think it was 341 00:18:22,079 --> 00:18:25,720 Monday this week. Eli heiden Wright, the Naval Academy receiver, 342 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,039 first Navy player ever in school history to go over 343 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,440 one hundred go over one hundred yards rushing and receiving 344 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,880 in the same game. 345 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 3: And to me, that's kind of hard to believe that 346 00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:38,160 it's never. 347 00:18:38,079 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 2: Happened once before, especially with a lot of the slot 348 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,799 backs and the explosive offenses that Navy and has had 349 00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:46,519 over the years. Like I would you know think a 350 00:18:46,599 --> 00:18:49,599 guy like you know, even like a like a Malcolm 351 00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:51,960 Perry before he got moved to quarterback may have done 352 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,079 it or somebody like that. But nonetheless it has not 353 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,759 happened until uh, Eli heiden Wright did it you know 354 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,920 this past weekend and did it in a CIC game. 355 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,519 Speaker 3: Is Navy now has the. 356 00:19:03,599 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 2: Leg up and steven for those scoring at home for 357 00:19:07,079 --> 00:19:10,319 when Navy has gone on to win, you know, a 358 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,720 win over Air Force for Navy, they've then gone on 359 00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:16,039 to win the Commander in Chief Trophy eleven of the 360 00:19:16,079 --> 00:19:19,640 last twelve times. 361 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was very surprised to hear that Phil McConkey 362 00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:26,319 had never done it. The Napoleon McCallum had never done it. 363 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,680 You know, You've looked at some of these guys that 364 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:36,119 have played at the at the highest level of football going, 365 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,160 you know, even at the professional ranks. You would think 366 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,400 they would have done that in college. And the fact 367 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,279 that you know, you go back to eighteen ninety and 368 00:19:44,319 --> 00:19:48,759 they've never done that's that's an incredible incredible feat to 369 00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:52,720 have done.

This week, 383 00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:30,319 I am going to go with Kanye Udo for his 384 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:34,759 twenty two and a half yards on average six carries, 385 00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:38,160 one hundred and thirty seven yards and two touchdowns in 386 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,039 the Black Knights win over Tulsa. 387 00:20:40,079 --> 00:20:43,759 Speaker 2: How about you, Well, it's like we just talked about, 388 00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:46,400 it's hard to go against Eli Heinrich setting some kind 389 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:50,000 of history like he did with carrying the ball six 390 00:20:50,039 --> 00:20:53,880 times for one hundred yards and catching five passes for 391 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,599 one hundred and one in the first leg of the 392 00:20:56,599 --> 00:20:59,759 Commander in Chief Trophy and Hide and Wright doing some 393 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,559 special things for the Naval Academy this year, as it 394 00:21:02,599 --> 00:21:05,839 was Navy's first win over Air Force since twenty nineteen 395 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,240 and their first in the spring since twenty twelve, the 396 00:21:09,279 --> 00:21:13,000 most points they had scored in Colorado spring since nineteen 397 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,680 seventy eight. But you know, Heidenich named the Paul Horning 398 00:21:16,839 --> 00:21:20,480 National Award, you know, Player of the Week was also 399 00:21:20,559 --> 00:21:26,319 named the Naval Academy Athlete of the Week at the 400 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,680 DC Touchdown Club College Player the weak, I mean, the 401 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,960 accolades just don't in there, Steven, because heiden Reich is 402 00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,240 you know, he's doing at all for Navy, and you know, 403 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:39,640 just get the man the dagum ball. So Eli heiden Wright, 404 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,000 the junior, he gets my game ball this week. And 405 00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:43,759 like you said, I'm with you. You can almost give 406 00:21:43,799 --> 00:21:45,880 a game ball every week to Blake Corbath or Bryce 407 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,880 and Daily for what they're doing and you know, just 408 00:21:49,319 --> 00:21:52,759 outstanding stuff. Jackson Campbell too, I'll just throw this in there. 409 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:57,519 Not is an honorable mention, but he receiving some national accolades. 410 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,880 You know, this past week he had a big game 411 00:22:00,079 --> 00:22:02,079 for the Naval Academy in the center of that defense. 412 00:22:02,599 --> 00:22:04,200 As let me pull it up right here. He was 413 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:13,640 named the American Athletic Defensive Conference Week yep two Sacksted. Yeah, 414 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,000 I mean Jackson Campbell was big time. So you don't 415 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,880 want to just always go offense every week, and I 416 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:20,480 know we don't do that, but just bears repeating that. 417 00:22:20,519 --> 00:22:22,880 You know, especially these two teams, they're not just doing 418 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,519 it on offense. Both these teams defensively are getting it done. 419 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:28,880 We'll give you some of those statistics probably next week, 420 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,519 because I think that's when things will really start settling in, 421 00:22:31,599 --> 00:22:34,599 you really get an idea of how good a team is, 422 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,160 especially with some national rankings. But Stephen, when come back, 423 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,480 we got two games to look at.

That was 497 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,559 a painful upload, and our listeners will not even begin to. 498 00:26:53,559 --> 00:26:55,559 Speaker 3: Understand what the last hour was like for us. 499 00:26:55,599 --> 00:26:58,039 Speaker 2: But you know what we deliver on the show, and 500 00:26:58,079 --> 00:27:00,920 we delivered in a big way for that first opening 501 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,319 segment of the show. Yep. 502 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 4: And not only that, we're gonna be able to go 503 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,519 about two hundred miles an hour through this Cat five style, 504 00:27:10,319 --> 00:27:10,880 Yes we are. 505 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,920 Speaker 2: So we've got two games this coming week and we're 506 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:15,640 gonna pick them both right now without further ado. Our 507 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,920 first one UAB at Army on Saturday at twelve noon 508 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,160 kickoff on the CBS Sports Network UAB one and four 509 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:24,519 OHO and two in the American Army obviously, we told 510 00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:26,680 you earlier five and oh four to oh in the 511 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,519 American Army a twenty five and a half point favorite. 512 00:27:30,519 --> 00:27:33,839 Steve over under in this one is fifty five and 513 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,720 a half. I don't think you see Army losing at home. 514 00:27:36,799 --> 00:27:38,720 I sure as heck don't see him losing to the 515 00:27:38,759 --> 00:27:39,759 fight Trent Dilphers. 516 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 4: No, not at all. You've got a team that got 517 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,440 beat up by Navy forty one eighteen two weeks ago 518 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,559 at home. This week they've got to go on the 519 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:55,799 road to West Point. I think that while the fighting 520 00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:59,079 Trent Dilphers as we like to call them, might be 521 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:03,400 a little more prepared for what a service academy style 522 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,359 offense looks like, there is absolutely no way that they 523 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:11,480 can hang with this team. Trent Dilfer is like one 524 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,559 bad game away from being fired as the head coach 525 00:28:16,559 --> 00:28:19,799 in Birmingham. It really is that bad right now for 526 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,400 the Blazers, and I have a feeling that this game 527 00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:27,440 might be it for him. I think that there is 528 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,759 every chance that Army hangs a fifty burger or more 529 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:36,880 on them. I would say this is probably fifty two 530 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:41,079 to seven that Army wins this game. Wow, they are 531 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,519 that bad and Army is that much better than they are? 532 00:28:43,799 --> 00:28:45,559 Speaker 3: Dude. We were very very close. 533 00:28:45,599 --> 00:28:48,279 Speaker 2: We were a field goal off because I'm going Army 534 00:28:48,359 --> 00:28:52,799 fifty five to ten. That is incredibly close, especially in 535 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:55,440 a very lopsided game. So we like Army a lot 536 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:57,680 to a little. All right, let's barrel through to our 537 00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,279 next one, Steven to save the brevity of life on 538 00:29:01,359 --> 00:29:04,039 upload speed and getting this last segment uploaded into the 539 00:29:04,119 --> 00:29:07,920 queue and you producing this for our outstanding listeners.

If 546 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,920 you're an air Force fan, you better start looking on 547 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,599 your dial because I think this might be the only 548 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,519 time in the sports calendar outside of March Madness you've 549 00:29:35,519 --> 00:29:37,240 got something decent on True TV. 550 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,759 Speaker 3: New Mexico is giving six and a half. 551 00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 2: Points over Under fifty four and a half is the 552 00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:44,599 fright the fight in Bronco. 553 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: Menden Halls. 554 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 2: They got to win in their last time out against 555 00:29:49,359 --> 00:29:52,039 rival New Mexico State fifty to forty in a game 556 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,400 steven that had over a thousand yards of total offense. 557 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, man, and I have a feeling that this game 558 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:03,640 could probably rival that, at least on one side. I mean, 559 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,359 the New Mexico New Mexico State game, as you mentioned, 560 00:30:07,839 --> 00:30:12,119 was rather even when it came to offense, it was 561 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,799 I think it was like six hundred to four hundred, 562 00:30:15,519 --> 00:30:19,319 so that the Lobos had over the Aggies. I have 563 00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:23,759 a feeling that New Mexico can get this as six hundred. 564 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,160 I don't see how air Force can picked the four 565 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,720 hundred in this game, but I do think it's probably 566 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,480 going to be less than the ninety points that were 567 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,200 put up in that game. I do see a big 568 00:30:36,319 --> 00:30:42,000 day though from the Lobos. I'm gonna say forty to fourteen. 569 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,240 I think they beat I think they beat air Force. 570 00:30:45,319 --> 00:30:48,519 And really, for Troy Calhoun, it's another it's gonna be 571 00:30:48,519 --> 00:30:50,960 another weekend. We're just gonna have to scratch his head 572 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,680 and we wonder how he's gonna devise an offense. 573 00:30:55,279 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 2: Well, it's a headline I saw. I don't remember where 574 00:30:57,039 --> 00:30:59,279 I saw it. But has Troy Calhoun run out of 575 00:30:59,319 --> 00:31:02,640 his magic Colorado Springs? And certainly those kind of questions 576 00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,960 get brought up when a team is struggling, it doesn't 577 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:08,279 matter where you are, but especially when you've had incredible 578 00:31:09,119 --> 00:31:12,680 success with the longevity that Troy Calhoun has had in 579 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,240 the Springs. And I'm like you, I don't think that 580 00:31:15,319 --> 00:31:17,440 air Force is going to find a way to win 581 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:20,759 get a win in this one. I think brockomenden Hall 582 00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:23,960 and his team, coming off the win over the rival 583 00:31:24,079 --> 00:31:27,200 of New Mexico State, I think they're going to continue it, 584 00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:30,880 especially this game being played in Albuquerque. You like forty 585 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,359 two to fourteen, I'm thinking, you know, maybe a touch 586 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,200 tighter thirty five to thirteen. I just don't see where 587 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,039 air Force. Where the points are going to come from 588 00:31:38,039 --> 00:31:40,240 from air Force in this game. They haven't shown the 589 00:31:40,279 --> 00:31:42,960 ability to run the football with any kind of consistency 590 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:47,400 all season, much less score and go score for score 591 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,000 with anybody. So I just don't see any way that 592 00:31:50,279 --> 00:31:53,519 the Falcons can go into Albuquerque. 593 00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:53,839 Speaker 3: And pull off a win. 594 00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 2: But then again, you reminded me earlier Vanderbilt did it 595 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,400 to number one Alabama, So look in this world right 596 00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,920 now that we're living in with college football, anything is possible. 597 00:32:03,079 --> 00:32:06,119 Just ask a Commodore fan, Steven. Let's get out of here. 598 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:10,000 All I'm gonna say is godspeed, God be with you 599 00:32:10,119 --> 00:32:13,440 and your family. With Hurricane Milton on the way, you 600 00:32:13,559 --> 00:32:15,119 or will be in all. 601 00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:18,319 Speaker 3: Our thoughts and prayers. Man, just hang tough and hang 602 00:32:18,359 --> 00:32:18,720 in there. 603 00:32:18,799 --> 00:32:23,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, I appreciate it, and hopefully you know, at least 604 00:32:23,599 --> 00:32:28,839 for us here in the Tampa Bay region, usually our 605 00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:32,799 our power comes on after a couple of days, you know. 606 00:32:32,839 --> 00:32:35,000 I think the longest I was without power, I think 607 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,279 was six days, and that was in Hurricane Jean back 608 00:32:38,319 --> 00:32:44,359 in two thousand and four, I believe. So it's been 609 00:32:44,559 --> 00:32:47,400 it's been a while since we've lost power for a 610 00:32:47,519 --> 00:32:50,920 significant amount of time, like more than a week. So 611 00:32:51,759 --> 00:32:53,920 we hope that doesn't happen here this time. I want 612 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,200 to watch some football on Saturday. I certainly want to 613 00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,440 watch Army and Air Sports this weekend, and I hope 614 00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:06,079 that are our listeners enjoy the games as well. 615 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 2: Absolutely well, look hang in there, buddy, We care about you. 616 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 4: Know. 617 00:33:10,839 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 2: There's nobody better than you on this side the last 618 00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:17,680 word on Sports podcast Network.
