But Lamar Jackson remembered he was Lamar Jackson. 25 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: It was fun. If you're a Ravens fan like me. 26 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:34,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm sure. I'm sure I didn't get I didn't 27 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,719 get a text from you. I got text from all 28 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,480 my other Ravens fans, and hey, let Lamar score a 29 00:01:40,519 --> 00:01:42,920 little bit so I can get some points in fantasy. 30 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 2: I was like, shut up, let me, let me just 31 00:01:46,239 --> 00:01:49,920 let me be be in full disclosure here. I've sold 32 00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:53,760 the Panthers, like I quit the Panthers last year. David 33 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,680 Tepper has ruined the franchise, so as long as he 34 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,799 is there, I will never be a Panther fan again. 35 00:01:59,239 --> 00:02:01,159 I used to go to lot of Ravens games when 36 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,200 we when I lived up in in Annapolis. The Ravens 37 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,640 were great people. They've got a great front office. We 38 00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:10,800 did a lot of Navy games over there through the years. 39 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,639 A Notre Dame, you know, are obviously army Navy great people. Uh, 40 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,840 just a great front office and always you know, kind 41 00:02:17,879 --> 00:02:19,639 of developed a soft spot for the Ravens when I 42 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,520 lived up there, so I've always kind of considered them 43 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,120 kind of my second team, if you will. So I'm 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,159 not like going to go full frontal and like start 45 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,800 dogging people out because Johnny come lately Ravens fan. I'm 46 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,439 not going to act like that. But it was I was, 47 00:02:32,479 --> 00:02:34,039 it was pumped, I was. It was cool to see 48 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,680 Lamar just run wild. And you know, now, I think 49 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,319 it's funny how they're talking about he's a three to 50 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,599 three tool player now after the downfield block. You know 51 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000 that he gave Derrick Henry on that long run. But 52 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,599 I believe that there. 53 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 3: All I know is that, uh, the Ravens were down 54 00:02:50,319 --> 00:02:53,719 ten to nothing in the first quarter, and I was 55 00:02:53,759 --> 00:02:57,039 sitting I was sitting there doing my stats work for 56 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,319 the National Football League, and I'm thinking to myself, this 57 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,840 isn't something doesn't feel right, Like did did Lamar Jackson 58 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,639 like take like a sleeping pill or did you know, 59 00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:10,719 did did he like not set his alarm clock? Because 60 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,479 this didn't that didn't look like Lamar Jackson early. And 61 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,759 then something happened in the middle of the first quarter 62 00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,520 and Lamar Jackson remembered he was Lamar Jackson. It was like, Oh, 63 00:03:20,599 --> 00:03:23,879 I'm gonna start running around here. And when he started running, 64 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,240 the Bucks defense kind of got off kilter, and then 65 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,280 they started to focus on Lamar and that's when Derrick 66 00:03:30,319 --> 00:03:34,000 Henry started started breaking off, you know, eighty one yard 67 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,080 runs and I was like, oh God, here we go. 68 00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:38,599 And and at that point it was like, all right, 69 00:03:38,639 --> 00:03:41,800 this is bad. And then Mike Evans hurts his hamstring 70 00:03:42,879 --> 00:03:47,400 and he's gonna be out through what I believe their 71 00:03:47,439 --> 00:03:50,879 head coach Todd Bull said the week eleven by, so 72 00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:53,360 we're not gonna have him. And then at the very 73 00:03:53,439 --> 00:03:56,520 end of the fourth quarter because Evans is out with 74 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,719 the hamstring injury, Chris Godwin is in there at the 75 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,159 end of the game and he gets he's a victim 76 00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:05,879 of a hip drop tackle and breaks his ankle and 77 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,439 he had to have surgery today and he's done for 78 00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:10,960 the year. So I don't know what the Bucks are 79 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,800 gonna do from here on out. This is this is 80 00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:14,120 not wretty well. 81 00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: I hope what they'll do is they'll resign firm and 82 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,079 wide receiver Ryan Miller that was on the practice squad 83 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,040 last year. That's that's that's my personal biased hope so 84 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,759 I know that we are doing a lot of good 85 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:25,240 for now. 86 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 3: We're we're hoping, we're hoping that they trade for Cooper 87 00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:28,000 cop here. 88 00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: Yeah. Uh, DeAndre Hopkins was on the move today. But 89 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:35,040 let's let's get this thing back to college football, because 90 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,879 I know that's what everybody came here.

Yeah, we will 95 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,560 talk Army, Navy, and Air Force here because that is 96 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,319 what we do on the Last Word on Sports podcast Network. 97 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,240 A new episode coming to every single week right here, Spotify, 98 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,519 Apple Podcasts, wherever it is you get your podcasts.

But 109 00:05:30,519 --> 00:05:33,079 holy cow. The senior rush for a career high five 110 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,199 touchdowns while going for a team high one seventy one 111 00:05:37,319 --> 00:05:40,319 on the ground, throwing for one forty seven in a touchdown. 112 00:05:40,759 --> 00:05:45,839 He accounts for six touchdowns in the football game and 113 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,720 the Black Knights they get on the scoreboard first drive 114 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,680 of the game. Armies has scored a touchdown it's opening 115 00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:55,279 drive in every single game this season, the only team 116 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,759 in America to do so, and it was lights out 117 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,519 from there, Steven. But and just another amazing performance from Daily. 118 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,639 The five touchdowns on the ground now breaks Army single 119 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,959 season record of seventeen that was held by three former 120 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:16,079 outstanding Black Knights and Mike Mayweather, Carlton Jones and Trent Steelman. 121 00:06:16,199 --> 00:06:20,319 Daily now has nineteen the season and the six touchdowns 122 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,560 he accounted for the first Army player was six touchdowns 123 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:28,480 in a single game since nineteen sixteen. Elmer Oliphant also 124 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:32,720 breaking the school record for Army touchdowns responsible in a 125 00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:36,839 season now with twenty five. The accolades just don't stop, Stephen. 126 00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:41,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you think about how important Elmer Oliphant is, 127 00:06:42,399 --> 00:06:45,759 you would You probably don't know this price, but I 128 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,399 have been told that he is the Elber and Elmer's glue. 129 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:56,360 I always educated kidding, I'm kidding, no, But you know, 130 00:06:56,639 --> 00:07:01,000 every time that Bryson Daily touched the foot last week, 131 00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:04,560 you you had a feeling that something special was gonna 132 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,160 happen and you and all you have to do is 133 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,160 look at the drive summaries for for Army. Uh. You know, 134 00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:15,279 we you mentioned the touchdown and the first drive. As 135 00:07:15,319 --> 00:07:18,199 you mentioned, they're the only team in college football that 136 00:07:18,199 --> 00:07:21,759 has scored a touchdown on each on its opening drive 137 00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:25,040 in every game this season. But then even that, even 138 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,279 after that, you look at the rest of their their drives. 139 00:07:28,519 --> 00:07:32,120 You know, the next drive was fourteen play, almost nine 140 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,199 minute drive that led to a field goal. They had 141 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,639 an eight play drive that led to a touchdown. And 142 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,879 then at that point, you know they're about to They're 143 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,360 about to go and then and then uh, after East 144 00:07:45,399 --> 00:07:48,120 Carolina turn the ball over on downs, they only need 145 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,120 one play to go thirty one yards from Bryce and 146 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,800 Daily to score another touchdown. At that point, you're basically 147 00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:57,000 at the end of the half. Uh, you know, you 148 00:07:57,199 --> 00:08:01,639 think about it, and then they're in the second half, touchdown, touchdown, 149 00:08:01,959 --> 00:08:04,360 They go three and out a couple of times, but 150 00:08:04,399 --> 00:08:07,120 then a touchdown to finish out the game, and then 151 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,319 you know, at that point it's it really just seemed 152 00:08:11,319 --> 00:08:15,360 like they had everything going in the right direction. They 153 00:08:15,399 --> 00:08:20,920 got they were they they they they won the turnover battle. 154 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,519 We talked about that. It seems like at nauseam they 155 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,560 won the turnover battle. They won the battle of the penalties. 156 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:32,879 They were the the more the better coached because they 157 00:08:32,919 --> 00:08:35,960 only had five penalties. You know, East Carolina had almost 158 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,240 double that. Uh and they almost had the ball for 159 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:45,039 forty minutes again last week again this week. So they 160 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,679 did everything that you want to see an Army football 161 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,480 team do to win games. And that's how they win games. 162 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:52,799 That's how they run up the score, and that's how 163 00:08:52,799 --> 00:08:56,559 they stay undefeated. I gotcha. 164 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,960 Speaker 2: I you know, the as good as bright Daily has been, 165 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,039 he has just been outstanding all season. You know, Army's 166 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,720 offensive line, the Black Knights defense also the story of 167 00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:10,639 the game, the Black Knights holding East Carolina. There's just 168 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,120 twenty five yards of total offense in the first half 169 00:09:13,159 --> 00:09:16,519 as Army built a T four to zero halftime lead 170 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,399 behind the two Daily touchdowns. You know, he scores his 171 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,799 third to start the third and makes it thirty one 172 00:09:21,879 --> 00:09:23,720 nothing before the Pirates can get on the board. It 173 00:09:23,759 --> 00:09:26,480 was over from there. But you mentioned, you know, no turnovers. 174 00:09:26,759 --> 00:09:29,240 You know, the Army offense scoring on the opening drive 175 00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:33,720 of every single you know game this season. They're still 176 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:35,840 haven't played from behind. They're one of two teams them 177 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,279 in Indiana. They have not trailed an opponent all season, 178 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,720 and you know, scoring forty points or more in four 179 00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:44,039 straight games. So for the first time since nineteen forty five, 180 00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:47,519 right now, it's hard to find a team steven you know, 181 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,480 competition notwithstanding, I don't really throw that in there anymore 182 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,639 because when you do it week in and week out, 183 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,039 and here we are at the end of October, I 184 00:09:56,039 --> 00:09:58,840 don't care who you're playing. Army's got it clicking on 185 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,919 pretty much every the game, as good as any team 186 00:10:01,919 --> 00:10:04,039 in America that you will find led by Daily. 187 00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, and you would think that East Carolina is probably 188 00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:12,240 the best team that they've played so far this year. 189 00:10:12,799 --> 00:10:17,399 Uh And they handled them, not just convincingly, but they 190 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,759 bludgeoned them for crying out loud. This is not a 191 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,440 you know, the Pirates are not a team that that 192 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,120 is going to roll over and play dead. This isn't UAB, 193 00:10:26,799 --> 00:10:31,080 this is not Temple h. East Carolina is is was 194 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,519 projected to be in the middle of the Pact and 195 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:36,200 ahead of both Army and Navy when it came to 196 00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:40,600 the initial predictions to start the year. So they thought 197 00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:42,960 that East Carolina, you know, the pundits thought the East 198 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,440 Carolina was going to be at least a decent football team, 199 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,840 and Army has just proven that they're a much better 200 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:51,840 UH team than East Carolina. 201 00:10:53,399 --> 00:10:56,080 Speaker 2: Daily just every time he touches the football, I mean, 202 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,120 it's a quarterback. I just still think you feel like 203 00:10:59,159 --> 00:11:02,919 he's a running back playing quarterback, only because he just 204 00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:05,840 runs with such a purpose. It's it's not one of 205 00:11:05,879 --> 00:11:08,360 those quarterbacks that's trying to dance around, that's trying to 206 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,679 he just does not look like the typical option quarterback 207 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,000 that we've seen in an academy. There's just something different 208 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:16,639 about Daily. 209 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, and and he went seven for ten throwing the 210 00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:22,759 football too, So it's it's not that he is a 211 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:28,200 running back. He has a method to his madness and 212 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,879 is been very efficient when it comes to throwing the 213 00:11:32,879 --> 00:11:36,240 football as well. Is he gonna throw for three hundred 214 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:40,120 yards in the game, Absolutely not, But he's gonna he's 215 00:11:40,159 --> 00:11:42,720 gonna make sure that the ball is taken care of 216 00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:45,799 and he is going to make the smart decision when 217 00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:48,639 throwing the football. And you saw that, and you saw 218 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:49,240 it this week. 219 00:11:49,519 --> 00:11:51,639 Speaker 2: And the big thing is, like you said, he is 220 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,639 a capable thrower. And when you're up near sixty percent 221 00:11:54,759 --> 00:11:57,759 completion percentage last year, he was at fifty for the year. 222 00:11:58,159 --> 00:12:01,000 He's already equal the number of touchdown pass he threw 223 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,000 last year at seven. The big difference that I nt 224 00:12:04,159 --> 00:12:06,360 column last year he threw six picks. He doesn't have 225 00:12:06,399 --> 00:12:08,720 a single interception this year. So when you're this side, 226 00:12:08,759 --> 00:12:11,039 when they do decide to throw it and sling it 227 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,679 and like, let's make no mistake, these aren't like dink 228 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:15,440 and dunk here and there. There are a few of those, 229 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,440 but when the academy s throw the ball, and this 230 00:12:17,519 --> 00:12:19,720 goes for Army this year, when they're throwing it, they're 231 00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:22,799 usually for big plays. Hence the thirteen point four you 232 00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:26,519 know yards per completion percentage on daily this year. So 233 00:12:27,799 --> 00:12:30,600 just incredible right now in the Heisman buzz I mean, 234 00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:33,360 it just continues to grow by the week. But I'm 235 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,960 with you, Steven. I think until they play Notre Dame 236 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,440 and you beat Notre Dame, that's when it really swells 237 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,600 to a new level. But it was, you know, Army 238 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:47,080 twenty number twenty three, Army forty five to twenty eight 239 00:12:47,159 --> 00:12:49,440 over East Carolina. The Black Knights now seven to h 240 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,679 six to oo in the American, East Carolina falling to 241 00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,120 three and four one and two in the American. Let's 242 00:12:54,159 --> 00:12:57,879 move to Annapolis. We're on home coming Saturday. Navy welcome 243 00:12:58,039 --> 00:13:01,399 Charlotte and they bludgeon the visit forty nine ers fifty 244 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,639 one to seventeen in a game you and I I 245 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:05,679 thought it was going to be much closer than this. 246 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,559 It was anything but, as Navy improved to six to 247 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:11,639 OHO for the first time since nineteen seventy nine, the 248 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:16,039 Navy defense forcing five Charlotte turnovers, led by defensive back 249 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,120 to Shaun Peel's two pick sixes, and these weren't small. 250 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,639 Sixty one yards taken for a score in the second, 251 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,799 eighty four yards return for score and the third unbelievable effort, 252 00:13:26,799 --> 00:13:29,960 and then of course Blake corback what Bryson Daly's doing. 253 00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:34,279 You look at Annapolis every single week or wherever Navy's playing. 254 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,759 Blake Horback isn't doing too bad either, Steven. 255 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 3: No and I laughed when that game was going on, 256 00:13:42,919 --> 00:13:45,240 I sent you a text message and I said, so 257 00:13:45,399 --> 00:13:47,679 much for us thinking that this game was going to 258 00:13:47,759 --> 00:13:50,519 be closer than people thought. I mean, they jumped out 259 00:13:50,759 --> 00:13:53,279 it was. It was twenty four to nothing. Before you 260 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,240 got in your seat for crying out loud. It was that. 261 00:13:56,519 --> 00:14:00,559 The way that the midshipman offense handled the football in 262 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:05,120 the first quarter. It was mind boggling how well that 263 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,720 they they played. And you mentioned all of the turnovers, 264 00:14:08,759 --> 00:14:12,480 four picks, including the two pick sixes. They also recovered 265 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,600 a fumble as well. There was plenty that went on 266 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,320 in that first quarter, or in that first half. You 267 00:14:20,399 --> 00:14:24,320 had the not just the the the pick six, but 268 00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:26,399 you also had one of the other you had two 269 00:14:26,399 --> 00:14:31,240 of the other interceptions. In fact, you look at Charlotte's drive, 270 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:37,559 summary punt in the first half, punt, pick, fumble, pick, 271 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,799 pick six. That was their first five possessions. When when 272 00:14:42,879 --> 00:14:46,159 that happens and it's thirty one nothing in the second quarter, 273 00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:50,919 And I said to my friend Eric Earlinson, who is 274 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:53,840 one of the lightning play by one of the pre 275 00:14:53,919 --> 00:14:57,600 and post game show analysts. I was sitting there with him, 276 00:14:57,679 --> 00:15:01,360 just showing on like like this team is ridicted, and 277 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:06,159 like I know that nobody likes to pick Army and Navy. 278 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,600 It's part of the reason why they're stuck at twenty 279 00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:12,080 three and twenty four in the standings because they're not pretty. 280 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,159 You know, some people were talking about, you know, we 281 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,559 talked about last week. You know, should Bryson Daily and 282 00:15:19,759 --> 00:15:24,279 or Blake Horvath have more Heisman consideration than they're getting. 283 00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:27,720 The answer is, of course they should, and Daily obviously 284 00:15:27,799 --> 00:15:31,840 is going to get more after his performance this past 285 00:15:31,879 --> 00:15:36,320 week with six touchdowns. You know, every time anytime you 286 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,639 score six touchdowns, people will sit up and take notice. 287 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,879 But right now, they're not pretty. Neither of these teams 288 00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:46,519 play pretty football. It's why Boise State gets looked at. 289 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,879 It's why Colorado gets looked at. It's why Alabama gets 290 00:15:50,879 --> 00:15:53,080 looked at. It's why Georgia gets looked at, it's why 291 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,720 Tennessee gets looked at. You know, those teams play what 292 00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:00,480 the pundits like to call pretty football. You know, the 293 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:04,600 the service academies don't play pretty football. They played grinded out, 294 00:16:04,679 --> 00:16:08,480 in your face football. That the that the people that 295 00:16:08,559 --> 00:16:11,679 want pretty football, the beautiful game, you know, like the 296 00:16:11,879 --> 00:16:17,120 Brazilians in soccer, they don't play that. And so that's 297 00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:21,039 why I said last week that you want to really 298 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,440 make the national media sit up and take notice, beat 299 00:16:25,639 --> 00:16:27,320 Notre Dame. M h. 300 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, without a doubt. And we'll get to that in 301 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,639 a second, because Navy is the only one that's going 302 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,559 to be on the dock in the field this week, 303 00:16:34,639 --> 00:16:36,960 and that will be against Notre Dame. But you know, 304 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,440 the midshipman making quick work Steven in this one. It 305 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,320 wasn't like Navy rolled up a ton of yards. I mean, 306 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:44,919 they only had two hundred and eighty eight yards of 307 00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,919 total offense in this game. It's because they kept getting 308 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,919 set up and that's why Navy was up thirty eight 309 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,480 to nothing with ten minutes left in the first half. 310 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,759 It's thirty eight to nothing with ten minutes to go 311 00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:01,639 in the second quarter. You know, and one streak that 312 00:17:01,759 --> 00:17:03,559 did come to an end. You know, Navy had been 313 00:17:03,759 --> 00:17:06,319 a perfect twenty for twenty inside the red zone at 314 00:17:06,319 --> 00:17:08,960 scoring touchdowns. Well that one came to an end there 315 00:17:09,039 --> 00:17:11,039 late in the first quarter, when Nathan Kirkwood had to 316 00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,960 kick a short twenty two yard field goal to make 317 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,960 it twenty four to nothing with three minutes left in 318 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,359 the first But outside of that, that was probably about 319 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,680 the only thing that did not go right on Homecoming Saturday. 320 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,240 And you know Blake Corvath throwing three touchdown passes in 321 00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:28,559 the game now ten this season, just three, shy of 322 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:33,039 Ricky Dobbs school record of thirteen set in twenty ten. 323 00:17:33,079 --> 00:17:36,079 And Alex Tusca, let's not forget about him. Tesca scores 324 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,200 three touchdown. How about he scores him in the first quarter, 325 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,480 and they were Navy's first three touchdowns of the game. 326 00:17:41,559 --> 00:17:44,039 A forty six yard touchdown pass, a twelve yard run 327 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,960 in a two yard run. The dude has three touchdowns 328 00:17:47,039 --> 00:17:49,559 before you had even played ten full minutes of action. 329 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 3: Stephen, Yeah, it was. It was incredible watch. And I 330 00:17:53,079 --> 00:17:56,680 was sitting there with CBS Sports Network on and just 331 00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:00,640 watched in amazement, like, Oh my god, I can't believe 332 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,559 that this is happening. And I thought I thought Alex 333 00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:07,960 Tesca was gonna score six touchdowns on his own because 334 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,319 this has become Army and Navy this year. You know, 335 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:15,160 coach Monkin has made up a lot of comments over 336 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,599 the last couple of weeks, first against Air Force, now 337 00:18:18,599 --> 00:18:21,640 against Navy. Anytime somebody brings up one of the other 338 00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,039 service academies, he's like, who, I didn't even know they're 339 00:18:24,039 --> 00:18:27,440 playing football. I mean, obviously that's going to happen. There's 340 00:18:27,519 --> 00:18:31,519 always gonna be the needling going back and forth between 341 00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:36,079 between the service academies. But it seems like the these 342 00:18:36,079 --> 00:18:39,319 two service academies here on the East Coast have been 343 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,880 playing anything you can do, I can do better all 344 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,680 year long. Oh you're gonna play. You're gonna beat up 345 00:18:44,759 --> 00:18:46,240 U A B. I'm gonna beat up you a B. 346 00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:48,759 You're gonna beat up Temple. I'm gonna beat up Temple. 347 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,039 You're gonna beat up You're gonna You're gonna run for 348 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:57,079 six touchdowns. We're gonna have six touchdowns. It's unreal, Like 349 00:18:57,519 --> 00:19:00,000 this is where did this come from? 350 00:19:00,079 --> 00:19:00,400 Speaker 2: Price? 351 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,519 Speaker 3: This never happens in service academy football. 352 00:19:04,039 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 2: It does not, And it's a thing of beauty right now. 353 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,519 It's just something incredible, incredible to behold. And you know, 354 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:12,359 I know we got one more game to get to 355 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,920 But you know, one of our listeners send me a 356 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,920 note today actually, and it was talking about the College 357 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,559 Football Playoff Committee. I mean, we're about to turn to 358 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,759 November and team, these teams are undefeated, and with that 359 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:28,680 being the case, I mean, yes, Navy's got to get 360 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,680 through Notre Dame this week, so that could tamper some 361 00:19:30,759 --> 00:19:32,759 of this talk right now. But as we sit here 362 00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,200 on the precipice of getting to one of the final 363 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,319 months of this entire season, you're starting to creep in 364 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,839 and think about what the College Football Playoff Committee will 365 00:19:40,839 --> 00:19:42,640 do and what they've said. And they've said they will 366 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:47,119 not consider the Army Navy game when putting and slotting 367 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,240 teams into a playoff, which just think about that for 368 00:19:50,279 --> 00:19:54,039 a second. Think about you know, if you're going to 369 00:19:54,079 --> 00:19:55,640 I don't want to say you have to make a decision, 370 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,680 but let's, for all intents and purposes put it on 371 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,400 the table. You've got two undefeated Service capademy teams. You're 372 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:04,519 gonna play an Army Navy game that the committee says 373 00:20:04,759 --> 00:20:09,519 is meaningless to them. What game is it means? What 374 00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:12,480 do you think what would mean more to you, especially 375 00:20:12,519 --> 00:20:15,319 if you're an academy grad. If you're a if you're 376 00:20:15,559 --> 00:20:17,319 you know, if you attend one of the academies, if 377 00:20:17,319 --> 00:20:20,839 you're a player, to say, okay, what means more getting 378 00:20:20,839 --> 00:20:24,920 into that national championship tournament or the Army Navy game. 379 00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,640 I think ninety percent of everybody would say the Army 380 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:28,200 Navy game. 381 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 3: Yeah. And it's funny. I was on I was on 382 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,000 the radio in Fort Myers this week and we were 383 00:20:35,079 --> 00:20:39,640 talking about the uh, you know, the possibility and that 384 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:45,319 there could be a conference championship game between Army and Navy. 385 00:20:45,799 --> 00:20:48,480 That doesn't that doesn't mean the Army Navy game and 386 00:20:48,519 --> 00:20:51,279 then the Army Navy game the next week. And if 387 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,359 i'm if I'm the service academies, this is where you're 388 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,799 gonna stroke the check. You gotta go. You gotta go 389 00:20:56,839 --> 00:20:59,400 to the federal government and go, hey, we're not playing 390 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:03,119 in a conference championship game. Make the conference championship game 391 00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:08,640 next week at Army Navy and tell the College Football 392 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:14,079 Playoff whichever one wins is in and you could hold 393 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,200 the spot. I know they're like, oh, it doesn't matter, no, no, no, no. 394 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,400 If they are the two highest ranked group of six 395 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,519 at the end of the year, let's say Boise State loses. 396 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,160 I think they play UNLV this week, so they could 397 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,480 lose this week to UNLV, and UNLV could lose in 398 00:21:32,519 --> 00:21:37,839 a couple of weeks to whoever. But if Army and 399 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:41,480 Navy are the two highest ranked group of six teams, 400 00:21:41,839 --> 00:21:45,039 one of which is going to get a shot in 401 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,680 the twelve and the Service Academies go to the College 402 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,480 Football Playoff Committee and say, no, no, no. You may say 403 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,119 this doesn't matter, this matters, and we're gonna play this 404 00:21:56,279 --> 00:21:58,720 game and you're gonna take the winner of it. I 405 00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:02,160 would love to see the Service Academies, you know, just 406 00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:04,319 out that one. That would be that would be fun 407 00:22:04,319 --> 00:22:05,000 to watch. 408 00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:06,799 Speaker 2: That would out note. That would be an out Notre 409 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,480 Daming move, right, that would that would totally be an 410 00:22:10,519 --> 00:22:13,279 out Notre Daming move because Notre Dame has always been 411 00:22:13,319 --> 00:22:15,319 the ones that get everything they want when it comes 412 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,599 to college football, which is why we I think we'd 413 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,720 all love to see Navy and then Army just absolutely 414 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,440 take them to the woodshed. But we'll take one game 415 00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,720 in a time. Well, let's look at the other. We 416 00:22:25,759 --> 00:22:27,839 got a third game, Steven, Let's get to that one first, 417 00:22:27,839 --> 00:22:29,440 because we got a lot more to talk about here 418 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,960 with Air Force welcoming Colorado State to the Springs, the 419 00:22:33,079 --> 00:22:35,400 ramfoul con Trophy on the line, and for the first 420 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,839 time since two thousand and two, Colorado State goes into 421 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,039 the Springs and gets the dub twenty one to thirteen 422 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,640 over Air Force, Colorado State four and three, two and 423 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,279 one the Mount West air Force now at one and six, 424 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,279 zero to four in league, still looking for that conference win. 425 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,559 And after Colorado State jumps up twenty one to nothing, 426 00:22:55,599 --> 00:22:58,799 Steven dare I say it, but maybe it was a 427 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,559 fire that was lit under desperation under Troy Calhoun's team, 428 00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:06,160 and they score thirteen points, all of them in the 429 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,480 fourth quarter, but it was just a little too late 430 00:23:08,519 --> 00:23:11,480 as they come up a touchdown in two point conversion 431 00:23:11,559 --> 00:23:15,759 shy of knocking off j Norbel's rams twenty one to thirteen. 432 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:20,079 Speaker 3: Yeah, and really, you look at the big play that 433 00:23:20,559 --> 00:23:24,240 took place in this game was in the second quarter, 434 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,240 Caleb Goody leaps up, grabs a pass from Braden Fowler 435 00:23:29,279 --> 00:23:35,200 Nicolosi with one hand at the at midfield and realizes 436 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,240 that the defender has fallen down and all of a 437 00:23:38,279 --> 00:23:42,279 sudden he's got nothing but green grass between himself and 438 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,880 the end zone ends up going for an eighty five 439 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:50,240 yard touchdown. I think really at that point in the 440 00:23:50,279 --> 00:23:57,119 third quarter, that's when you ended up seeing Troy Calhoun 441 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,359 look at his guys and you go, are you gonna 442 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,960 let them make fun? You know, are you gonna make 443 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000 them let them ridicule you on your own home turf? 444 00:24:07,039 --> 00:24:11,559 And finally you saw some life out of the falcons. 445 00:24:11,599 --> 00:24:14,319 It's something we haven't seen at all this year. Uh, 446 00:24:14,799 --> 00:24:19,759 not against New Mexico, not against uh Wyoming. You know, 447 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,160 you really can say that you didn't even see it 448 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,680 really much in against Merrimac. But the fact of the 449 00:24:26,759 --> 00:24:31,519 matter is that finally it looked like something clicked on 450 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,319 offense in that fourth quarter. And maybe it was Colorado 451 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,200 State maybe taking the foot off the accelerator on defense, 452 00:24:39,559 --> 00:24:43,000 But that's the feeling that fourth quarter is what this 453 00:24:43,079 --> 00:24:47,519 team needs to concentrate on going forward and going that's 454 00:24:47,559 --> 00:24:49,519 what we need to see out of these out of 455 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,519 out of each and every one of you on this 456 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:55,240 team going forward. I mean, they've got Fresno State, Uh, 457 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,880 They've got Army coming up in a couple of weeks, 458 00:24:59,559 --> 00:25:01,559 and then from no status they get back to the 459 00:25:01,559 --> 00:25:06,680 Mountain West Conference schedule going forward, they can't finish with 460 00:25:06,759 --> 00:25:10,519 a with a winning record in the conference. Uh, you know, 461 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:16,200 it would be basically, uh, they can get to five hundred, 462 00:25:16,759 --> 00:25:19,079 but they've got to win out. So they're one loss 463 00:25:19,079 --> 00:25:22,319 away from being under five hundred with a losing record 464 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,519 this year. You've got to have that feeling from the 465 00:25:24,559 --> 00:25:26,279 fourth quarter go forward. 466 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, but some things you don't see very often in 467 00:25:28,559 --> 00:25:31,279 this game. Air Force passing for more yards than they 468 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,839 rush for. Yeah, one seventy five to one seventy three. 469 00:25:34,279 --> 00:25:35,960 And it's not often you see a team go through 470 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,599 a game without a single penalty, which air Force did. 471 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,960 But again, three turnovers was big. Two interceptions, you know 472 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,200 the one you mentioned, you know that was taken back 473 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,359 for a score, and then you know, a fumble. It's 474 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,519 just continued to be the same same story for air 475 00:25:49,559 --> 00:25:53,279 Force most of the season. It's just miscues and once 476 00:25:53,319 --> 00:25:56,160 again musical chairs at quarterback. As John Bouche gets to 477 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,640 start after it was Quinton Hayes last week, he is relieved. 478 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,720 Josh Johnson, you know, gets a little bit of time there. 479 00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:05,920 But you know, Troy Calhoun just trying to push and 480 00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,599 punch any button he Can at this point, but the 481 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,400 Falcons give it up to Colorado State. The ram falcontroll 482 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,839 be going to for Collins this season twenty one to 483 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,960 thirteen the final and this one is air Force again 484 00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:21,839 one in six, zero to four in the Mountain West 485 00:26:21,839 --> 00:26:25,160 steven game ball time. Do we need to just name 486 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,359 this the twenty twenty four Bryce and Daily game Ball? 487 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,759 You know of the week? Or you know? Are we 488 00:26:30,799 --> 00:26:32,960 gonna both shock the world and go with something different? 489 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,319 Speaker 3: Slap another sticker on mister Daily's helmet, my friend, because 490 00:26:37,319 --> 00:26:40,640 he's getting my game ball. You you throw, you are you? 491 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,839 You score six touchdowns, you account for thirty six points 492 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,559 in a game. You're getting a game ball for me. So, 493 00:26:48,319 --> 00:26:54,720 mister mister Daily, you certainly get my accolades on this one. So, yes, 494 00:26:54,759 --> 00:26:55,680 he gets my game ball. 495 00:26:56,039 --> 00:26:58,240 Speaker 2: Well I should do the same thing, but I gotta 496 00:26:58,279 --> 00:27:00,880 be different as good as Daily was. I'm going to 497 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,480 go with Navy defensive back to Sean Peel because he too, 498 00:27:03,519 --> 00:27:06,559 said a little bit of history on Saturday, becoming the 499 00:27:06,599 --> 00:27:10,720 first Navy players and mentioned to ever return two interceptions 500 00:27:10,759 --> 00:27:13,960 for touchdowns in the same game, only the second AAC 501 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:15,759 player to ever do it, but the first from the 502 00:27:15,839 --> 00:27:20,119 Naval Academy, as he was named the American Athletic Defensive 503 00:27:20,799 --> 00:27:24,400 Player of the Week for those two interceptions return one 504 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,880 hundred and forty five yards in return yards in the game. 505 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,839 As Navy has now won three of the last four 506 00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:37,200 AAC Defensive Weekly honors.

He was a decorated patriot who 574 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,200 people say that he lived life as large and as 575 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,160 loudly as he could by utilizing his character strength of 576 00:31:32,279 --> 00:31:35,359 zest in every facet of his life, from his job 577 00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:38,279 in the Navy to his relationships with his family and friends. 578 00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,440 He approached life with full energy and enthusiasm, even when 579 00:31:43,599 --> 00:31:47,839 balancing work, family and friends. Scott Dayton he made time 580 00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,680 to embrace life's adventures, and he would take any opportunity 581 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,559 he could to go surfing early in the morning, turning 582 00:31:53,599 --> 00:31:56,079 wrenches on his sheet, fishing with friends and family on 583 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,240 their boat, or spending quiet time in a deer stand 584 00:31:59,599 --> 00:32:02,440 in the country, or cheering on his son or daughter 585 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,960 at their soccer game. Scott was never letting life pass 586 00:32:06,039 --> 00:32:08,200 him by, but instead he was making the very most 587 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,440 of every minute while setting it all on an electric 588 00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:15,799 soundtrack from bluegrass to reggae.

Army sophomore 622 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:09,639 offensive guard Pallo Generelli, the sophomore who did not let 623 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,159 how about this, does not even see action in any 624 00:34:12,199 --> 00:34:14,960 games last year. He has started all seven for the 625 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,000 Black Knights and is a big reason why they are 626 00:34:18,079 --> 00:34:21,760 seven to zero, as he won the Outland Trophy National 627 00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:25,000 Player of the Week last week.

So 632 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:43,480 Pallo generally being honored by the Outland Trophy. Moving over 633 00:34:43,519 --> 00:34:47,000 to Navy, Navy's game at Rice on Saturday, November the 634 00:34:47,039 --> 00:34:50,000 second next weekend that's was announced as a four pm 635 00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,760 Eastern Standard time kickoff. That one going to be on 636 00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:56,960 ESPN two, and obviously the game Army and Air Force 637 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,239 doing Battle up at West Point that's the same day. 638 00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:02,519 We know that's a twelve new kick on CBS. But 639 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,039 Navy at Rice Saturday November the second four pm Eastern 640 00:35:06,079 --> 00:35:10,159 Standard time on ESPN two mentioned to Sean Peel being honored, 641 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,440 but Nyvy senior safety Rayon Lane the third he was 642 00:35:13,519 --> 00:35:17,239 named Sporting News as mid season All American Team. So 643 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,119 a lot of things, you know, starting to when when 644 00:35:21,119 --> 00:35:23,400 you're sitting there with a goose egg Stephen in the 645 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:25,679 lost column right now, you're going to be noticed for 646 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,199 the things you're doing right, and certainly players from both 647 00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,159 these two academies doing a lot of things right as 648 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,639 they are seven to oh and six and oh respectively 649 00:35:33,679 --> 00:35:38,920 between Army and Navy. Speaking of Navy, steven, we have 650 00:35:39,079 --> 00:35:42,360 talked a lot about it. We have said, basically, you 651 00:35:42,519 --> 00:35:45,000 leave the charge. Once one of these teams can knock 652 00:35:45,039 --> 00:35:48,360 off Notre Dame. That's when some eyes and heads are 653 00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,960 gonna turn. Well, guess what, the Naval Academy, you're on deck, 654 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:54,880 not on that ship deck, but you're on deck. Proverbally, 655 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:58,519 this weekend is Navy and Notre Dame gonna do battle. 656 00:35:58,639 --> 00:36:02,199 The number twelve, Irish six and one, the number twenty 657 00:36:02,199 --> 00:36:06,159 four midshipman six and oh, this one a national TV 658 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:11,880 kickoff on ABC twelve noon Eastern Standard times. Stephen, right now, 659 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,719 the last I've seen the Irish are giving up thirteen 660 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:16,920 over under and this one is fifty two and a 661 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:20,599 half as the Mental will be looking for their first 662 00:36:20,679 --> 00:36:23,559 seven and oh start since nineteen seventy eight. 663 00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:27,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I laughed because, you know, all of the 664 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:32,400 people who are supposed to be smart in football have 665 00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:35,199 been have been talking and raving about, you know, the 666 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,320 way that Notre Dame has played since the Northern Illinois game. 667 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,519 Of course, they're only lost of the year, and you know, 668 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:48,280 outside of their game against Louisville. You know, I don't 669 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,400 think that Notre Dame schedule has been much tougher than Navies. 670 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,960 For crying out loud, they played you know, a Georgia 671 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,079 Tech team last week that, let's face it, isn't very good. 672 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:05,239 They've played Miami of Ohio. They're they're no good produce stinks. 673 00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,960 You know, Stanford is, you know, in its first year 674 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,400 in the American in the accuh so of course they're 675 00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,519 still trying to get used to being in a new conference. 676 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,840 You know, I don't think that there's much you could 677 00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:24,400 say about Notre Dame that tells me that this that 678 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,559 this team is that much better than the than the 679 00:37:28,679 --> 00:37:31,719 Navy team. Like to me, I don't understand why this 680 00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:36,639 game is a thirteen point spread. I understand the total. 681 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:40,639 I don't. I don't understand the spread. I think that 682 00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:44,079 the way that Navy plays is the way that you 683 00:37:44,159 --> 00:37:47,679 beat Notre Dame. On the ground. They're forty second in 684 00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,719 the nation in rush defense, they're third in the nation 685 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,119 and past defense. You don't want to throw the football 686 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,679 against the Irish. You want to run the football. Well, 687 00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,519 what does Navy want to do? They want to run 688 00:37:57,559 --> 00:37:59,960 the football. They want to control the line of scrimmage, 689 00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:02,960 they want to control time of possession, and as long 690 00:38:03,119 --> 00:38:06,239 as they don't make stupid penalty. You know, they don't 691 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,000 take stupid penalties and they don't make mistakes putting the 692 00:38:09,039 --> 00:38:11,320 football on the ground. I think that they've got a 693 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:12,440 decent shot at this. 694 00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. I mean, I'm shocked that it's 695 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:20,320 nearly two touchdowns and you know the line, I don't 696 00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,719 think it's going to be a two touchdown difference, But 697 00:38:23,159 --> 00:38:24,599 you know, what do we know? And I'm right there 698 00:38:24,639 --> 00:38:27,480 with you. I mean, you know Notre Dame has not 699 00:38:27,519 --> 00:38:30,039 played any kind of juggernaut of a schedule. Yeah, they've 700 00:38:30,039 --> 00:38:32,480 got wins over a couple of top twenty teams, But 701 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,400 what else is on there that that you know strikes 702 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,519 any kind of fear into your heart? To me, there's 703 00:38:39,599 --> 00:38:43,360 not much. Obviously there's the loss at home to Northern 704 00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:47,800 Illinois sixteen to fourteen. But you know in a series where, 705 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,119 especially right now, Navy playing as well as they are, 706 00:38:51,159 --> 00:38:53,679 I know that Notre Dame leads overall series eighty two 707 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,400 to the thirteen and one is one six straight. But 708 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,920 you know this is a dangerous Navy team, especially because 709 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,360 they're not just simply one dimensional Steven. You know, we 710 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,440 just see that academies so many times over the years, 711 00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,440 which it's it's no knock on them that are more 712 00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,480 one dimensional, but that's because you got to be different. 713 00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:12,840 Davy's built a little bit different right now in the 714 00:39:13,199 --> 00:39:15,280 fact that Blake Corbath can throw the football when he 715 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,079 needs to. He's got Eli hEidin Reich, and I know 716 00:39:17,119 --> 00:39:19,679 you don't want to throw it against Notre Dames past defense. 717 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,800 But you know, there's there's obviously some some areas of 718 00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,559 weakness in there, and I think this is going to 719 00:39:25,599 --> 00:39:28,280 be a much closer football game, Steven than the Las 720 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,719 Vegas things. I know that Vegas knows usually a lot 721 00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,280 more than you and me. But boy, there's something I'm 722 00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,519 just not seeing that they are. 723 00:39:35,119 --> 00:39:39,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I I do like Notre Dames quarterback 724 00:39:39,199 --> 00:39:43,039 Riley Leonard, the duke transfer. He's got sixteen touchdowns so 725 00:39:43,199 --> 00:39:46,079 far this year, ten on the ground, six through the air. 726 00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,400 But I really think that, you know, this is going 727 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:53,320 to be the ultimate test for guys like Deshaun Peel, 728 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:56,119 like Raywan Laying the third. You know, they're gonna have 729 00:39:56,199 --> 00:39:59,239 their opportunities. They're gonna want to throw the football and 730 00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,360 you're gonna have an opportunity to make plays in the 731 00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,800 defensive backfield. And if they can do that, Like I said, 732 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:11,480 I I cannot believe that this game is thirteen. You know, 733 00:40:11,639 --> 00:40:15,079 I know that that that there are so many people 734 00:40:15,159 --> 00:40:18,320 that think that Notre Dame is, you know, the going 735 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:23,039 to be the team to beat outside of the Power 736 00:40:23,159 --> 00:40:25,880 for conferences. You know, they're the non conference team that 737 00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,000 people need to look at. I don't see it from 738 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,679 the from the Irish, I really don't. 739 00:40:30,039 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't either. I know it could get out 740 00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:36,360 of hand really quickly if if turnovers and things snowball, 741 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,559 but maybe does not turn the football over. You know, 742 00:40:38,599 --> 00:40:40,480 they've only got what a hand they I mean, I 743 00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:42,639 don't think they fumbled the ball all what. I don't 744 00:40:42,679 --> 00:40:45,480 think they've lost a fumble all year, have they? I 745 00:40:45,519 --> 00:40:46,079 don't think so. 746 00:40:46,199 --> 00:40:48,199 Speaker 3: And Blake Carvath only has one interception. 747 00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, two is a team, so he's got one, and 748 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,920 there's one other in there by one of the backups. 749 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,639 But that Navy takes care of the football. Notre Dame 750 00:40:57,719 --> 00:41:00,199 has had trouble getting off the field or or at 751 00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:03,360 least converting on third downs. They convert, They rank ninety 752 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:06,480 second in the country at thirty seven point seven percent 753 00:41:06,599 --> 00:41:09,519 on converting on third downs. Third down defense has been 754 00:41:09,559 --> 00:41:14,239 pretty good. But you know it's Navy's not a turnover 755 00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:17,159 team this year. They have not been turnover prone. Are 756 00:41:17,159 --> 00:41:18,719 they waiting on a big game where they could the 757 00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,840 floodgates can open? It could happen against Notre Dame. This 758 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,559 is definitely without a doubt. I don't care who anybody 759 00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,559 is pulling for in this game. This is a step 760 00:41:26,639 --> 00:41:28,840 up in competition for the Naval Academy. This is an 761 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:31,519 opponent like they have not seen this year. So could 762 00:41:31,519 --> 00:41:33,920 this thing goes sideways? It could. I just think that 763 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,719 what we're seeing out of Navy's playing just really good football. 764 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,440 I don't think they're going to roll over. I think 765 00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,119 this is going to be a dog fight down to 766 00:41:40,159 --> 00:41:42,320 the fourth quarter. Stephen Yep, I agree. 767 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,239 Speaker 3: I think that this is going to be what everybody 768 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,400 thought that Navy and Memphis was going to be. I 769 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,239 think that Navy and Notre Dame takes that to even 770 00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,480 the next level. I think that there's there's there's a 771 00:41:54,639 --> 00:41:57,880 there's every chance that one of these teams gets out 772 00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,679 to a lead to But I'm not saying as big 773 00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,039 of a lead as Navy did with Memphis. But I 774 00:42:04,519 --> 00:42:07,199 certainly think you could get to a two score lead 775 00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,840 sometime in the second in the second half and watch 776 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,400 the other team come back and even tie the game. 777 00:42:14,519 --> 00:42:16,639 I think that this is gonna come down to the 778 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,599 very end. And you know, I think when we talk 779 00:42:19,639 --> 00:42:23,960 about maybe the most exciting game that we see this year, 780 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,360 you're probably looking at one of the two. I think 781 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,559 both both of the Service academies against Nerdame, we're gonna 782 00:42:30,599 --> 00:42:32,920 end up saying outside of the Army Navy game is 783 00:42:32,920 --> 00:42:35,079 probably gonna be the most exciting games that we see. 784 00:42:35,519 --> 00:42:38,599 Speaker 2: I agree, Navy and also Army just two of the 785 00:42:38,679 --> 00:42:41,639 ten remaining unbeaten teams in the FBS this season? Does 786 00:42:41,639 --> 00:42:44,880 it stay that way after Saturday? Come about three point 787 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,320 thirty four o'clock, we will find out. But maybe one 788 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:50,239 of three teams to win every single game by double figures. 789 00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:53,559 I don't think that's going to continue if they do, 790 00:42:53,639 --> 00:42:56,239 in fact knockoff Notre Dame, but we'll find out for 791 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,480 those scoring at home. Navy's last win over Notre Dame 792 00:42:59,559 --> 00:43:02,039 came back in twenty sixteen when they knocked off the 793 00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:05,559 Irish twenty eight to twenty seven in Jacksonville. So another 794 00:43:05,639 --> 00:43:09,400 neutral site game for this one on Saturday. Steven, all right, 795 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:11,400 let's go ahead and make our picks, because we've kind 796 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,079 of rolled through everything. Want to save this one game 797 00:43:14,119 --> 00:43:17,480 for last. Certainly Army and Air Force they are off 798 00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,360 this weekend as they get ready to face each other 799 00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,079 at West Point next weekend. But Navy Notre Dame. Which 800 00:43:23,119 --> 00:43:25,119 way are you going to pick this one? Steven? 801 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,159 Speaker 3: You know, it's funny. I think that the one person 802 00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,880 that probably is going to cause as much, be as 803 00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,440 much of a difference as anybody in this game is 804 00:43:35,519 --> 00:43:39,679 Riley Riichman. You know, it's funny to talking about the punter. 805 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,320 You know, I think that if they need to use him, 806 00:43:43,679 --> 00:43:45,760 he's the type of guy that can flip a field 807 00:43:46,079 --> 00:43:49,119 and really put pressure on an opposing team's offense to 808 00:43:49,199 --> 00:43:52,719 try and get out from under their own shadow. So 809 00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:57,440 I really do think that if they if he's used 810 00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:01,920 correctly and as long as there's no mistakes, this is 811 00:44:01,920 --> 00:44:05,599 going to be very, very close. I unfortunately think that 812 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,960 Navy does fall from the ranks of the unbeaten this week. 813 00:44:09,039 --> 00:44:13,360 I think it's twenty seven to twenty four. I think 814 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:16,559 Notre Dame pulls it out in the end. 815 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,119 Speaker 2: Wow, you almost stole the exact score that I went 816 00:44:20,159 --> 00:44:23,519 with originally, but I changed it. I changed it before 817 00:44:23,639 --> 00:44:26,920 you came out and gave your twenty seven to twenty 818 00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,679 four pick of Notre Dame. I think this is like you. 819 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:33,400 I think we're you and I are lockstep, and I 820 00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,079 like when we think differently on things just because it 821 00:44:36,159 --> 00:44:39,480 makes it more fun. But I'm just right there with you. 822 00:44:39,639 --> 00:44:41,360 I think this is going to be one that comes 823 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,280 down to almost to the bitter end. I don't know 824 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:45,400 if it's going to be a Nathan Kirkwood field goal 825 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:49,880 that makes the difference in the final minutes, but I'm 826 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:51,679 going out on a limb this one, and I'm going 827 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,480 to pick Navy twenty four to twenty three over Notre Dame. 828 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:59,639 I know it's unconventional. Let's just call it a feeling. 829 00:45:00,039 --> 00:45:02,440 And when I get those feelings, that gut feeling isn't 830 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,559 always right. But something tells me that Notre Dame is 831 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:08,480 going to go down. I think. I think I'm still 832 00:45:08,679 --> 00:45:10,159 stuck on. And I know it was kind of an 833 00:45:10,199 --> 00:45:13,159 anomaly coming off the win over Texas A and M, 834 00:45:13,159 --> 00:45:16,239 but I'm still stuck on watching what doing what Northern 835 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,320 Illinois did in South Bend to Notre Dame. I still 836 00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:20,800 got that in the back of my head and I 837 00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,920 can't get rid of it because Northern Illinois, with all 838 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,960 due respect to the Huskies, they're not what Navy is 839 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:30,159 this year. And you know, you know that midshipman, those 840 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:32,159 kids having you know, you and I have been there, 841 00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:34,519 we worked with them. You know, they circle. This is 842 00:45:34,559 --> 00:45:36,480 one of those games you circle because they were always 843 00:45:36,519 --> 00:45:39,000 told they were too small, not big enough, too short 844 00:45:39,039 --> 00:45:41,480 to play major college football. And this is the one 845 00:45:41,559 --> 00:45:44,400 time where they get to show anybody and everybody if 846 00:45:44,400 --> 00:45:46,480 they're a five eight defensive back, if there are a 847 00:45:46,559 --> 00:45:49,840 six ' one, two hundred and fifty pound offensive lineman, 848 00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:53,639 that they are indeed worthy of playing D one football. 849 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 3: Well, and you and I will and I'm going to 850 00:45:56,519 --> 00:46:00,280 use this term that if they be Notre Dame Marcus 851 00:46:00,360 --> 00:46:06,519 Freeman is getting to kill haul in the one of 852 00:46:06,559 --> 00:46:10,719 the one of the best nautical terms of all time. Uh, 853 00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,840 if you have to ask, you don't want to know 854 00:46:14,599 --> 00:46:17,400 what a kill hauling is, but uh, I can certainly 855 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:22,280 see that. If that, if that, if Nathan Kirkwood kicks 856 00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:25,880 the winning field goal at MetLife Stadium to give Navy 857 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,039 a win over Notre Dame, Marcus Freeman's getting a kill 858 00:46:29,079 --> 00:46:31,840 haul in when he gets back to South Bend. They 859 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:33,079 don't even have water there. 860 00:46:35,559 --> 00:46:38,000 Speaker 2: Man, it is gonna be fun. I can't wait. Again. 861 00:46:38,039 --> 00:46:40,519 We only have one game, but boy, that game should 862 00:46:40,719 --> 00:46:42,840 be a good one. We hope it's a good one. 863 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,400 But we hope you've enjoyed this episode of Yards and 864 00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:47,760 Strip's Army, Navy, and Air Force.
