Hard to believe we're already at 29 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:44,760 Week five, last Saturday in September. As we head to October, 30 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,560 we've got some big matchups. This is a huge weekend 31 00:01:47,599 --> 00:01:50,560 on the college football slate. Not a huge weekend here 32 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,040 in the State of Florida, but a huge weekend nationwide. 33 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,359 You've got Alabama and Georgia, you got Penn State and Oregon. 34 00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:01,120 You've got But we do have a huge matchup potentially 35 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,359 next weekend here in the state of Florida that we'll 36 00:02:03,359 --> 00:02:05,280 get to here in just a minute. But let's give 37 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,959 you a quick little recap and little preview. No guests 38 00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:10,319 this week, so we're just gonna make this short and 39 00:02:10,479 --> 00:02:12,599 sweet and give you a quick recap. We got three 40 00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:15,800 teams on buys this week. We got USF coming off 41 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,639 their win over South Carolina State, we got Florida coming 42 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,280 off the loss at Miami, and then we got Miami 43 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,400 coming off the win against Florida. All three of those 44 00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:28,120 teams will be on buys this week, So no game 45 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,840 for them, but we will again we will preview. 46 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 2: Who they have. 47 00:02:32,879 --> 00:02:35,719 Speaker 4: Next, and we'll also give you a little quick recap, 48 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,719 a couple news and notes nuggets. Obviously, the Gators fall 49 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,919 to one in three. That's kind of the story around 50 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,560 the south east of the state of Florida. What is 51 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,240 the fate of Billy Napier. Remember, they do have a 52 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,080 second by later in the year, prior to the Georgia game, 53 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,080 And for me, this would probably be the spot if 54 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,719 Florida was gonna make a change in season, that will 55 00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,439 probably be where it happens at is probably in that 56 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,400 bye week leading into the Georgia game. If things continue 57 00:03:03,439 --> 00:03:07,039 to to not get much better up in Gainesville with 58 00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:10,919 Billy Napier in that staff. Again, just an inept performance 59 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,159 offensively last week in Miami in hard Rock. The defense 60 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,400 was very admirable, again like they weren't in Batson Rouge 61 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,520 the week before, but that offense just unable to get 62 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,039 anything moving. Whether it's play calling, whether it's players, whether 63 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,479 it's scheme, whatever it is, the offense is just very 64 00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:34,280 very plotting, tough to get any any consistent movement on drives. 65 00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:37,840 And again they lose twenty six to nine in hard 66 00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:44,080 Rock to the Miami Hurricanes. Again, had they got blown out, 67 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,719 you could make an argument that they could have made 68 00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:48,400 a move over the weekend. But again they fought hard, 69 00:03:48,479 --> 00:03:51,319 they played, They played hard again. Seventh six point game 70 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,439 going to the fourth courting was thirteen to seven going 71 00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:57,039 to the four, thirteen to six going to the fourth set, 72 00:03:57,159 --> 00:04:00,199 thirteen to seven going to the fourth quarter. Just a 73 00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:03,520 tough Again, give the defense credit. They played well, They 74 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:09,319 contained Carson Beck, they kept that Miami offense at bay 75 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,520 for the most part on the evening. They were missing 76 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,120 a couple of defensive linemen as well, the Gators were, 77 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,759 and again full credit to that Florida defense for hanging 78 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,519 in there and playing playing, playing tough with just just 79 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,879 when you're on the field the whole game and the 80 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,759 offense is not helping. It's just very, very difficult to 81 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,519 contain a team that is as explosive as the Miami 82 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:33,560 Hurricanes are. And they finally the dam finally broke there 83 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,560 in the fourth quarter. Mark Fletcher for the Hurricanes ran 84 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,759 for hundred and sixteen yards in a touchdown twenty four carries. 85 00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:44,720 Again with the Canes, you just see the consistency of 86 00:04:44,759 --> 00:04:49,000 the offensive and defensive lines. That defensive line for Miami 87 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,120 is probably the best defensive line in the country. Rubin 88 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:56,120 Bain and company. That defense just athletes all over the place. 89 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,879 They're tacklers, they're making tackles, They're not having blown coverage. 90 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,600 Corey Heatherman, the new DC from Minnesota that came over 91 00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:06,639 from Minnesota, doing a tremendous job complimenting what that Miami 92 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,560 offense is doing. Again, Carson Beck was not great in 93 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,160 the game. I think he only threw about one hundred 94 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,800 and sixty yards, but he was consistent, he was solid. 95 00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:18,839 Didn't kill him with it with the horrific turnover. It 96 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,639 was just, you know, just ran the offense. And again 97 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,319 the Florida defense is really good, so give them credit, 98 00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:28,480 and they just grinded out a twenty six to nine win. 99 00:05:29,399 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: Again, Florida bye. 100 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 4: Week has Texas next week in Gainesville against Is again 101 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,519 another another big opportunity for Napier. Again, you got arch 102 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,519 Manning coming in not you know, he's gotten it turned 103 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,920 around a little bit the last couple of weeks. 104 00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: But again this is. 105 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,759 Speaker 4: A game that Florida can be in the game. But 106 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,000 again you're gonna be up against another really really good 107 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,079 defense in Texas. They've got to figure out a way 108 00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:53,240 to get DJ Lagway unleashed a little bit. 109 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: And whether it's the. 110 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 4: Play calling, whether it's the just the movement. Again, rumors 111 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,240 are that he's in a walking boot this week, So 112 00:06:01,519 --> 00:06:05,480 who knows what that means potentially for the for uh 113 00:06:05,519 --> 00:06:09,079 for for the Texas game, Tremmel Jones the backup quarterback, 114 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,600 there's some there's some rumblings that people want to see 115 00:06:11,639 --> 00:06:14,480 him play a little bit. I don't know if Napier 116 00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:20,360 Will I cannot imagine Napier benching uh. DJ Lagway who 117 00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:23,399 he's who, He's tied the wagon to uh going into 118 00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:27,040 this offseason, so I have a hard time believing that. 119 00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:30,000 But if, but if Lagway continues to play poorly in 120 00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:32,680 the game, I could see potentially Tremmell Jones getting some 121 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,279 snaps a series here and there in that game to 122 00:06:35,319 --> 00:06:37,480 see if they can provide a spark in the game. 123 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,720 So uh again, murderers row schedule. You got Texas at home, 124 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,279 you go to Texas A and M. You still have 125 00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:49,079 Georgia Tennessee. You got Florida State on the schedule instead, 126 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,519 just a brutal, brutal run here between now and the 127 00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:56,639 end of the year. Again, my thought is, my prediction 128 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,240 would be, if a move is gonna be made, it's 129 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,199 gonna be made after the during the second bye week 130 00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:05,439 that gives Florida, will give Florida about three weeks to 131 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,839 start their search and. 132 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:07,519 Speaker 2: All that stuff. 133 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 4: If if, if, if, truly if they're gonna make the 134 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,560 move again, if they were to get blown out by 135 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,319 Texas at home following the bye week, could you see 136 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:17,480 Florida making a move there? 137 00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 2: You probably could with knowing they got to go on 138 00:07:19,759 --> 00:07:20,160 the road. 139 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 4: Uh, But I have a feeling they won't get blown 140 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,879 out by Texas. But we shall say to me, it's 141 00:07:26,319 --> 00:07:28,279 a lot of it will depend on the continued effort 142 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,519 in the locker room. If they give up on Billy Napier, 143 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,160 they get again, they get blown out by somebody really bad, 144 00:07:34,279 --> 00:07:37,759 and then that definitely will speed up the process of 145 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,000 Napier getting fired. 146 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,079 Speaker 2: But doesn't look good for Billy. I hate to say that. Uh. 147 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 4: We talked to a couple. We talked to Steve Russell 148 00:07:45,639 --> 00:07:48,120 at w r U f UP in Gainesville. It's part 149 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,720 of my my press box radio duties. And you know, nice, 150 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,879 super nice guy as far as off the field for 151 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,519 Billy Napier. But again, the on field performance and the 152 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,519 play calling in the in the in the crew activity 153 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,480 on offense just hasn't been there. Lagway has not played 154 00:08:03,519 --> 00:08:07,759 as well obviously that he did last year. So you 155 00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:10,800 gotta figure it out. Run the ball, Florida. You've got 156 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,319 good running backs. Give Jaden Ball twenty carries and let's 157 00:08:14,319 --> 00:08:17,360 see what he can do. Stop the rotation. So much 158 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,600 of the rotation with your Corey Jackson. Give Jaden Ball 159 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,160 twenty carries. That's how you're gonna potentially beat Texas is 160 00:08:24,199 --> 00:08:26,800 grind one out. You're not gonna out score Texas. I 161 00:08:26,839 --> 00:08:28,800 don't think this is gonna be a game. If you're 162 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,240 gonna beat Texas, it's gonna be twenty to seventeen kind 163 00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:36,320 of game, I think. So you gotta maximize your running backs, 164 00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:40,360 in your running back talent. So again for the Canes 165 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:43,879 off this week, got the showdown potentially next Saturday night 166 00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,399 in Tallahassee. I think that's gonna be a Herb Street 167 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,399 and Fowler game. You're probably gonna see game Day in 168 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,159 Tallahassee next week, barring a calamity by the Seminoles, but 169 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,720 I still think you're gonna see again. It's gonna be 170 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,840 the primetime game next Saturday night. Seven point thirty will 171 00:08:58,879 --> 00:09:01,799 be an electric atmosphere in dope Campbell Stadium, kind of 172 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,559 like the old days in the nineties when I was there. 173 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 2: So again, give. 174 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 4: Give Miami and Christa Baul full credit that they've done 175 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,279 what they've got to do there. The offensive lines of 176 00:09:11,279 --> 00:09:14,639 scrimmage have been tremendous so far. The skilled players are 177 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,960 getting better and better each week. Carson Beck, like I 178 00:09:17,039 --> 00:09:20,120 told you in the first week of this podcast, he 179 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,519 does not have to be an All American for them 180 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,559 to be really good. Just play really good foot play 181 00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:29,559 good football, let your let the team win the games. 182 00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:31,720 Carson Beck does not need to win the game by 183 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,679 throwing for three hundred and fifty yards. He's got plenty 184 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,360 of talent around him. Remember their schedule, no no Clemson, 185 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:38,320 no Georgia Tech. 186 00:09:38,759 --> 00:09:39,519 Speaker 2: That so that helps. 187 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,919 Speaker 4: I know Clemson's not not doing well this year at 188 00:09:41,919 --> 00:09:46,320 one and three, but still you have a very favorable schedule. 189 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,879 You're gonna be favored in every game you play this year, 190 00:09:49,399 --> 00:09:51,840 outside of potentially the Florida State game, which will be 191 00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:54,519 a no more than a two to three point game 192 00:09:54,919 --> 00:09:57,759 point spread game either way, but every other game on 193 00:09:57,799 --> 00:10:00,320 the schedule, you'll be a heavy favorite in So the 194 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:02,679 balls in Miami's court to go to go to the 195 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,639 ACC title game. This could be a preview of a rematch, 196 00:10:05,919 --> 00:10:08,720 potentially a Florida State Miami in the title game. How 197 00:10:08,759 --> 00:10:11,919 cool will that be? For the first time in forever? 198 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,840 Would they play a second time potentially with the winner 199 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,919 obviously going to the College Football Playoff in the second 200 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,679 and potentially both teams could potentially be going to the 201 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,639 college football Playoff. But all right, next Saturday night Tallahassee. 202 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,799 We'll preview that game heavily next week on the Florida 203 00:10:27,799 --> 00:10:32,480 Football Insiders podcast. We won't, but yes, that's that's the 204 00:10:32,519 --> 00:10:36,159 state of affairs in Gainesville and Miami. Let's go to 205 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,240 UCF an emphatic, an emphatic thirty four to nine win 206 00:10:40,279 --> 00:10:43,039 over Bill Belichick in the Carolina Tar Heels. I did 207 00:10:43,039 --> 00:10:45,519 not expect it to be that dominant. Give give Scott 208 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,159 Frost credit. Scot UCF moves to three to oh Traveon 209 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,399 Travan Jackson threw for two twenty three in a touchdown, 210 00:10:53,519 --> 00:10:57,039 ran for another fifty or sixty yards. Very very impressive 211 00:10:57,039 --> 00:11:00,559 performance by UCF. Again, North Carolina is not very good, 212 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,720 but give give u UCF credit. They took care of business. 213 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,399 They were opportunistic when when when when the scenario presented 214 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,360 itself and they beat down a bad Bill Belichick North 215 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:17,240 Carolina team UCF heads to on the road start Big 216 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,600 twelve play at Kansas State, who's one in three again, 217 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,440 be careful here, this is a tricky spot Kansas State. 218 00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:24,919 A lot of people thought it was gonna be really good. 219 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:28,600 They've struggled out the gate. UCF again three and Ozero 220 00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,080 heads on the road to Manhattan, Kansas. I think it's 221 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:37,799 a twelve o'clock kickoff on Saturday, so Big Twelve Conference 222 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,440 play begins. It'd be a good test for UCF to 223 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,159 see where they're at. Most people thought u CF would 224 00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:45,600 be the bottom two or three of that conference. So 225 00:11:45,639 --> 00:11:47,559 we will see if if UCF can keep up the 226 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,000 good play through into into their fourth game of the 227 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:55,320 year here in Manhattan. So I'd be I'd be little. 228 00:11:55,399 --> 00:11:57,960 I think Kansas State will probably win the game personally, 229 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,320 but but again give Scott from in the Knight's credit. 230 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,279 They've played well through three games, and again in very 231 00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:07,440 emphatic thirty four to nine win over Bill Belichick in 232 00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:08,240 North Carolina. 233 00:12:08,639 --> 00:12:10,200 Speaker 2: South Florida goes to three and one. 234 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 4: They beat down South Carolina State sixty three fourteen last 235 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,120 Saturday at Raymond James. Not much to talk about here. 236 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,440 USF's on a bye three and one, going into the 237 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:25,120 by home to Charlotte following following Friday night to start 238 00:12:25,159 --> 00:12:26,519 their American Conference play. 239 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 2: Again, if you use USF. 240 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 4: With what Memphis is doing, keep you have to keep 241 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,360 the pedal to the medal here. You can maybe afford 242 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,120 one more loss, but you can't be losing games in 243 00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:40,960 the conference that you're not supposed to lose. USF will 244 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,360 be favored in most of their games. They do go 245 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,679 to Memphis, which will be a really good game. Remember 246 00:12:45,759 --> 00:12:50,120 Memphis beat Arkansas last week, so they're undefeated. So the road, 247 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,000 they've got a couple bumps in the road. If you're 248 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,480 us have to get to a potential playoff berth in 249 00:12:54,519 --> 00:12:58,399 a conference title game. But again, the opportunity is right 250 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,399 in front of you if you're Alex go Ulsh and 251 00:13:00,399 --> 00:13:03,480 the Bulls utilize this bye week to get healthy to 252 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,840 find two and a couple of things. But again, great 253 00:13:05,879 --> 00:13:06,840 start for the Bulls. 254 00:13:06,879 --> 00:13:07,519 Speaker 2: Three and one. 255 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,919 Speaker 4: You win at Florida, you play, you know, you lose 256 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,519 in Miami. You need Florida to win a couple of 257 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,639 games here to make that Florida win a little better. 258 00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:18,240 But I think you're still in a really good spot 259 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,080 here if you can, if you can run the table 260 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:23,840 and again get to that Memphis game with only that 261 00:13:23,879 --> 00:13:26,080 one loss, I think that'll be a great, great game. 262 00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:28,559 You'll get some national attention at that and during that 263 00:13:28,639 --> 00:13:31,519 game as well. So again, keep doing what you're doing 264 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,279 for USF. Got to be able to run the ball better. 265 00:13:34,759 --> 00:13:36,720 Uh that That's one thing they've struggled with the first 266 00:13:36,759 --> 00:13:38,639 four weeks is running the ball. Got to get that 267 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,320 running game better. Got to get Byron Brown a little 268 00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:43,879 bit better on the completion percentage. But I like where 269 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:48,879 USF's at, especially defensively. Uh, Todd Orlando's done a really 270 00:13:48,919 --> 00:13:54,039 good job getting that defense structured in organized. So three 271 00:13:54,039 --> 00:13:57,360 and one USF off this week, Charlotte at home next 272 00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:02,240 Friday night. Florida State three and oh beats beat down 273 00:14:03,799 --> 00:14:06,840 Kent State over the weekend. Again, not much to talk 274 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,799 about there. They took care of business. Uh, you have 275 00:14:09,879 --> 00:14:13,120 a tricky Friday night game this week at Virginia opens 276 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,120 up acc play. Virginia comes in three and one, they've 277 00:14:16,159 --> 00:14:18,919 scored a lot of points. Again, this has always been 278 00:14:18,919 --> 00:14:21,720 a tricky spot for Florida State. They've they've had issues 279 00:14:21,759 --> 00:14:24,000 over the years up in Charlottesville. I remember back in 280 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,879 the mid nineties, remember that famous Thursday night game where 281 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,759 Virginia beat Florida State with Tiki and Rendez Barber on 282 00:14:31,799 --> 00:14:33,840 the Thursday night game the first time you had the 283 00:14:34,039 --> 00:14:38,360 FS you had ever lost in the conference. So keep 284 00:14:38,399 --> 00:14:41,080 that in mind there. But it's you know, that'll be 285 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,159 a raucous crowd on a Friday night. Again, if you're 286 00:14:44,159 --> 00:14:47,399 Florida State, if you're if you if you've proved, you're 287 00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:51,559 proving to everybody week by week that you're organized, you're disciplined, 288 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,919 you're accountable. This is this is a great test again. 289 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,720 You have a massive game ahead, potentially ahead next week 290 00:14:58,759 --> 00:15:01,960 at home against Miami. You cannot look ahead here. You've 291 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,320 got to go to Charlottesville take care of business. Castellanos 292 00:15:06,559 --> 00:15:09,600 and you know obviously Norvellen Company, you gotta take care 293 00:15:09,679 --> 00:15:12,080 business up in Charlottesville this Friday night and not mess 294 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,480 around you're the better team here. But again, Tony Elliott's 295 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,039 getting it together at Virginia. 296 00:15:16,679 --> 00:15:17,159 Speaker 2: A little bit. 297 00:15:17,519 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 4: They're scoring points again, that defense, Tony White's defense. You 298 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,399 gotta you gotta buckle down and take care of business 299 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,360 and and just put in a professional performance and go 300 00:15:27,399 --> 00:15:29,840 beat Virginia on the road like you should. To set 301 00:15:29,879 --> 00:15:33,679 up the monster Classic Florida State Miami game next Saturday 302 00:15:33,759 --> 00:15:37,159 night in Doe Campbell again will be the ABC primetime game. 303 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,679 Fowler and Herbstreet will be there and all that. So 304 00:15:39,879 --> 00:15:43,720 take care of business, seminoles, don't mess around. Short week 305 00:15:43,799 --> 00:15:46,720 this week, so you had you got to play plenty 306 00:15:46,759 --> 00:15:49,120 of guys last week, so everybody should be there, should 307 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:50,279 be no fatigue. 308 00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:50,559 Speaker 2: Issues and all that. 309 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 4: And I'm sure they were probably already doing some game 310 00:15:53,399 --> 00:15:57,759 planning on Virginia last week as well. I would imagine, 311 00:15:57,799 --> 00:16:01,320 so Florida State again three and zero heads Charlottesville Friday 312 00:16:01,399 --> 00:16:06,559 night for their ACC opener. All right, last two games 313 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,320 that involves the two teams that played each other last week. 314 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:15,399 F IU FAU FIU wins thirty eight twenty eight. Keon Owens, 315 00:16:15,399 --> 00:16:17,320 the running back for FIU, runs for one hundred and 316 00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,519 seventy three yards and two scores of great performance. The 317 00:16:21,559 --> 00:16:24,240 Panthers moved to two and one on the year again 318 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:27,360 thirty eight twenty eight over FAU. FAU was led by 319 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,519 Veldcamp to quarterback through for three forty three and two touchdowns, 320 00:16:31,679 --> 00:16:35,600 but he did throw three picks. Jamari Sans runs for 321 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,240 another one hundred and five yards on the ground for 322 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,519 FAU as they moved to as they go to as 323 00:16:41,519 --> 00:16:42,399 they fall to one. 324 00:16:42,279 --> 00:16:43,399 Speaker 2: And two the Owls. 325 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 4: So a nice little in state rivalry as both teams 326 00:16:46,639 --> 00:16:50,000 will open up conference play this week. Give me one 327 00:16:50,080 --> 00:17:01,200 second here, FIU will play. They are They're gonna be 328 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:03,399 off this week as well, so f IU has got 329 00:17:03,399 --> 00:17:04,839 a bye week this week as well. 330 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: They go to Yukon and Jim Moore. Go see Jim 331 00:17:08,279 --> 00:17:08,960 Moore and Yukon. 332 00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:12,759 Speaker 4: Next week on the road, FAU will be hosting Memphis, 333 00:17:12,759 --> 00:17:16,119 a tricky game for Memphis. Be careful here if you're 334 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:20,000 Memphis because coming off the huge win against Arkansas, they 335 00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:25,799 head down to Boca to see a serviceable FAU Owls 336 00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:28,480 team and a Veldt Camp can be a factor there. 337 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:33,359 But again, a great opportunity for Willie Simmons and company. 338 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,440 I'm sorry it's not Willie Simmons. See who the FAU 339 00:17:36,559 --> 00:17:37,319 coach is. 340 00:17:38,519 --> 00:17:38,759 Speaker 2: Am I. 341 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:48,559 Speaker 4: Great opportunity there to to have a American Conference opener here. 342 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 2: Seven o'clock Saturday night. 343 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 4: The Memphis Tigers come to town in an American Conference game, 344 00:17:59,079 --> 00:18:00,880 so we I'll see. 345 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:02,799 Speaker 2: If FA you could pull the ups. 346 00:18:02,839 --> 00:18:04,839 Speaker 4: I think Memphis is about a thirteen to fourteen point 347 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,599 favorite as well, So again, a great opportunity for the 348 00:18:08,599 --> 00:18:11,079 Alls to get off off to a great start in 349 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:13,960 the schedule beating a conference foe. 350 00:18:13,799 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 2: Here in Memphis. 351 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,759 Speaker 4: So all right, there's your previews, there's your recaps again. 352 00:18:22,039 --> 00:18:26,559 Several teams off this week.

So again, appreciate you finding us on Florida 369 00:19:18,839 --> 00:19:22,119 football in the Sider's podcast. Reach Out to me on 370 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:26,240 x and Twitter at JPO Sports. One other note, I 371 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,680 want to mention if you didn't see the news the 372 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,920 charges against If you remember a couple of weeks about 373 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,640 a month ago, coach Jim Levitt, the former USF coach, 374 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:41,279 has was charged with got an altercation and was charged criminally. 375 00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,000 Those charges have been dropped. Coach Levitt was scheduled to 376 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,400 go into the USF Hall of Fame or in early October. 377 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:52,000 That has been delayed. That's not going to happen this year. Remember, 378 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,799 USF just hired a new athletics director, Rob Higgins, who 379 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,000 was a part of the Tampa Bay Sports Commission here 380 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,960 in the Tampa Bay area. He was hired to be 381 00:20:00,079 --> 00:20:04,279 the new CEO of USF Athletics. Rob Higgins and Jim 382 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,680 Levitt did have a discussion in the last week or 383 00:20:07,759 --> 00:20:10,559 so and it was determined that they are not going 384 00:20:10,599 --> 00:20:12,519 to put coach Levitt in the in the USF Hall 385 00:20:12,559 --> 00:20:13,400 of Fame this year. 386 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,039 Speaker 2: They did not rule out him going into. 387 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,599 Speaker 4: The Hall of Fame in future years, but it's not 388 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,559 going to happen this year, and that's probably the right 389 00:20:19,599 --> 00:20:24,200 decision based on the circumstances of what's going on. But again, 390 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,160 hopefully coach Levitt does get into the USF Hall of 391 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,680 Fame for his accomplished accomplishments on the field. Again, there's 392 00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:34,920 a storied history with coach Levitt in the USF program. 393 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 2: We know that. 394 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 4: But again we will see where that goes moving forward. 395 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,400 So there's your little bit of off field news as 396 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,079 far as USF and coach Jim Levitt goes. So all right, again, 397 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:50,359 appreciate you finding US College grid Iron Coast to Coast 398 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,720 podcast network feed at JPO Sports. Love to hear your 399 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,480 comments and any any chatter you'd love to love to 400 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,559 have concerning the podcast. Again, we'll be here every single 401 00:21:00,599 --> 00:21:05,440 week throughout the college football season to recap and preview 402 00:21:05,519 --> 00:21:06,119 future games. 403 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 2: Get it. 404 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 4: Let's give you a quick little NFL update. The cardiac 405 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,559 kids down here in Tampa continue to do it. The 406 00:21:11,599 --> 00:21:14,599 Buccaneers go to three and oh beat the New York 407 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:18,480 Jets over the weekend. Baker Mayfield leads yet another last 408 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,079 minute drive to kick a game winning field goal. Bucks 409 00:21:22,079 --> 00:21:24,759 blew a big lead block field goal by the Jets 410 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,920 run back, but then Baker Mayfield leads them down. Chase 411 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,400 mcglofill kicks a game winner at the horn. Give a 412 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,079 shout out to my guy TJ. Reeves for doing a 413 00:21:33,079 --> 00:21:35,319 great call. Great job on the call. He had to 414 00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:39,319 substitute for Gene Deckerhoff. Jean was ill over the weekend 415 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,279 and we're not able to not not able to make 416 00:21:43,319 --> 00:21:45,880 the trip to Tampa to do the game, so TJ. 417 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,720 Valiantly stepped in and did a great job on the broadcast. 418 00:21:50,759 --> 00:21:53,680 As the Bucks moved to three and oh, Philadelphia Eagles 419 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,599 come to town. NFL Showdown. Brady Burkhart and Fox will be 420 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:00,400 here on Sunday for the one o'clock game with the Eagles. 421 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,319 Eagles are also three and zero, so again a great 422 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:08,200 game heading into Week four of the NFL season with Bucks, Eagles, 423 00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:12,920 Jaguars win a hard fought seventeen to ten game over 424 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,480 the Owen three Houston Texans. The Jags moved to two 425 00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:19,119 to one. A great job by the defense up in Jacksonville. 426 00:22:19,759 --> 00:22:24,400 Continuing to stymy that Houston offense, that the Jacksonville offense 427 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,759 did just enough late score by attn Trevor Lawrence did 428 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,240 played okay, that he's still developing into that offense. I 429 00:22:32,279 --> 00:22:34,880 think he's gonna be good with Liam Cohen, but still 430 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,759 not clicking on all cylinders. Gotta reduce the drops by 431 00:22:38,799 --> 00:22:41,200 Brian Thomas, he's got They got to get that connection going. 432 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,279 Other note about the Bucks. Obviously Mike Evans goes down 433 00:22:45,319 --> 00:22:47,880 with the hamstring injury. He's gonna be out probably three 434 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,400 to four weeks for the Buccaneers as well. But again 435 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,599 good win by the Jags to go to two to one, 436 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,240 and then finally the Dolphins they fall to Owen three. 437 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:57,839 He saw the great, the valiant effort in Buffalo on 438 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,359 Thursday night. McDaniel in that to group, give them credit, 439 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,440 they did play well. I think they lost. Thirty thirty 440 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:07,799 eight to twenty eight was the final, I believe, But 441 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,000 again bad interception by two at the end that a 442 00:23:11,079 --> 00:23:14,799 chance to tie the game, but a bad interception by two. 443 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,119 But again, give the Dolphins credit. They played well for 444 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,200 three and a half quarters. The defense was valiant, the 445 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,400 offense showed some life. So huge game for the Dolphins 446 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,200 this week. In game you gotta win against the Jets. 447 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,559 If they lose this game against the Jets, then I 448 00:23:27,559 --> 00:23:32,680 think it will be massive, massive speculation about McDaniel's future 449 00:23:33,599 --> 00:23:36,039 going going forward. But again, this is a game the 450 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:41,240 Dolphins should can win against a decent mediocre Jets team 451 00:23:41,279 --> 00:23:43,079 at this point. But this is a game you gotta 452 00:23:43,079 --> 00:23:46,039 win if you're the Dolphins to get off the three 453 00:23:46,079 --> 00:23:49,759 off the three schneide. So there's your NFL update.
