This week, I'm a 16 00:00:57,759 --> 00:00:59,880 little stunned with the outcomes. What were your thoughts? 17 00:01:01,479 --> 00:01:04,359 Speaker 3: You know, I'm stunned, But I don't know if it 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,920 was the results on the field or if it was 19 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,280 the cigar smoke. I mean, damn, I wish I was 20 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:14,239 at Eland Stadium. What a cool tradition that is, you know, 21 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:16,159 I know we were talking to our good bluddy Mike Lovell. 22 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,560 He was lighting up his Cuban cigar. Man, I was 23 00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:23,719 ready for my Cuban cigar because that was a phenomenal 24 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,239 three thirty two thirty game. You know, it looked like 25 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,760 Bama was in control. All of a sudden, Tennessee, you know, 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,519 comes back and they just come off the carpet. But 27 00:01:34,599 --> 00:01:36,359 then I got a you know, I got a reference. 28 00:01:37,599 --> 00:01:41,120 Guess what I was wrong. I called out my dogs 29 00:01:41,159 --> 00:01:44,799 last week. I said, hey, you're gonna you're be by fourteen. 30 00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:48,400 And I would like to know who's what team showed 31 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,920 up in Austin because I have not seen that team 32 00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:54,879 since the twenty one point two season. You had a 33 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,159 defense that was mean, you had a defense that was nasty. 34 00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:59,920 We were capitalizing on turnover. 35 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: Uh. 36 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: The offense is still scary. We'll get to that. But 37 00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:06,439 you know, as much as I would love to say 38 00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:09,479 you know, these games brought us clearity, I think as 39 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,439 we're going to talk about today, what it is really 40 00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:17,240 done has has muddied the waters. Because don't you love it? 41 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,400 You Oh, I think it's I think it's phenomenal. I 42 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,319 think I think it's great. This is what we wanted. 43 00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:25,400 We bring in Texas and Oklahoma. Sorry, Oklahoma, is maybe 44 00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:27,960 not what you wanted, but this is what we wanted. 45 00:02:28,039 --> 00:02:31,919 We want these marquee matchups. Uh. You know every SEC 46 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,400 team now has a loss and it's the third week 47 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,120 in October. You know, my goodness, what's going to happen? 48 00:02:38,199 --> 00:02:41,240 Is this? Is this bad? Is the SEC still good? 49 00:02:41,599 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: Yes? 50 00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:44,759 Speaker 3: The SEC is going to be just fine. It is 51 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,919 iron sharpening iron. You know. Give me your thoughts, my friend, 52 00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:49,439 let us know where we're headed today. 53 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: Well, I think overall, if you look at the whole, 54 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,280 the cold landscape of college football, what I really love 55 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,520 is that now we've established that no one is a 56 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,199 clear cut favorite. You know, I think that obviously you 57 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,000 still have Oregon kind of looming out there. 58 00:03:04,039 --> 00:03:07,439 Speaker 2: You have, we have a handful of undefeated teams. 59 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: But I wouldn't say that anybody is in a position 60 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,560 where we just think they're going to run away with 61 00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:17,159 it like we have we have with the Alabamas and 62 00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:21,120 the Georgias of the past. You guys are listening. I 63 00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:23,599 am on zoom with Craig and he's thrown up to 64 00:03:23,719 --> 00:03:26,919 you right now. I do not have confidence in Miami's 65 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,639 defense whatsoever for them to run away with anything. 66 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 3: What are you talking about that? Did they scored fifty 67 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,120 fifty two points this weekend? 68 00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:37,199 Speaker 1: Yes, I said, I said defense exactly. I have tons 69 00:03:37,199 --> 00:03:38,919 of confidence in Cam Barden. I think he is the 70 00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:42,199 best quarterback in the country and he does some magical things. 71 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,639 But again, this is not an All Coast I mean 72 00:03:44,759 --> 00:03:48,240 Atlantic Coast Conference podcast, and so we're going to stick 73 00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:50,120 to the SEC so that we have some. 74 00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:55,919 Speaker 3: Question clarifying Washington maybe phrase of course, will the ACC 75 00:03:56,159 --> 00:03:59,439 champion hip clowned again in the playoffs? Sixty three? Nothing 76 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,439 like there see a champion did last year because I 77 00:04:02,439 --> 00:04:03,039 could see. 78 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get pants sixty three to nothing. But I 79 00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:09,080 do think it's I do think it's gonna be not great. 80 00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:11,800 I saw a Bold predict projection earlier from twenty four 81 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:18,319 to seven and they had Oregon at one. So they 82 00:04:18,319 --> 00:04:21,199 had Ohio State getting the six seed matched up against 83 00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:25,639 Clemson at the three. And if that happens, if Clemson 84 00:04:25,639 --> 00:04:28,000 wins the SEC and catches Ohio State in the first 85 00:04:28,079 --> 00:04:33,199 round or after the bye, uh yeah, watch out. That's 86 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,439 That's all I'll say there. No, I think if we 87 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:39,480 look at the SEC specifically, people could make the argument. 88 00:04:39,519 --> 00:04:41,560 And when I say people I mean Craig texting me 89 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,399 on a Saturday night after maybe two one too many 90 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:49,800 glasses of Hunker and saying that the SEC may not 91 00:04:49,959 --> 00:04:52,480 be as good as we thought because Mississippi State is 92 00:04:52,519 --> 00:04:55,600 giving Texas Ay and them a game. Mississippi State could see, 93 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,519 We're gonna I'm gonna say this probably way too many 94 00:04:57,519 --> 00:04:59,600 times because why are we even talking about them? But 95 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,360 MISSUS State continues to get better. 96 00:05:01,439 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 3: We got to question, I'm your host, why are we 97 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:05,800 talking about they have? 98 00:05:06,319 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 1: They have shown some fight, and to use them as 99 00:05:10,519 --> 00:05:13,120 a as a pawn to say that the SEC is 100 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,959 not as good as we thought is uh. 101 00:05:17,639 --> 00:05:18,439 Speaker 2: I don't think it works. 102 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,879 Speaker 1: I think the SEC is actually just really deep and 103 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:25,040 Mississippi State not included in that. They're clearly in a 104 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,399 rebuild at best, and they just don't have the talent 105 00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:31,439 on the roster. But I will give them credit for battling, 106 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,000 and we saw that against Georgia. 107 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: And then what did Georgia do this week? They come 108 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,319 out and beat the current number. 109 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: One team in the country at the time in Texas 110 00:05:40,879 --> 00:05:42,879 and so then you see MSS State give A and 111 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000 m another battle. So I think that they are I 112 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,319 think they're fighting and they are I think the clear 113 00:05:47,319 --> 00:05:49,759 cut bottom of the SEC, so everything in the middle 114 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,480 and kind of bleeding into the top. At this point, 115 00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:56,079 I think you see a lot of depth across the SEC. 116 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,959 The problem with that is when there's depth, as we've 117 00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:01,680 seen previously in the in the Big twelve is what 118 00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:03,920 comes to mind for me in years past is that 119 00:06:03,959 --> 00:06:06,399 when there's more parody and the teams are more even, 120 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,439 you get more cannibalism, and that means less teams actually 121 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,519 in the postseason. So the SEC would actually benefit more 122 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,639 if it was really if it was like six to 123 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,240 eight super deep, and then the bottom half was not 124 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,399 as great because then you don't get the Vandy knocking 125 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:25,879 somebody off, or the Arkansas knocking somebody off, or the 126 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,240 South Carolina which should have been nails you and Alabama 127 00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:30,600 knocking somebody off, those types of situations. 128 00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 3: But the reason I asked that question is I think 129 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,000 one it's fair because I think when we take a 130 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,560 look at it, when the SEC has been strongest and 131 00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:46,000 perceived as the strongest, Alabama is the belcale. They're undefeated, 132 00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:49,720 and regardless of what's happening with the rest of the conference, 133 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,720 them dominating has set the tone of the SEC of 134 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,079 the bust. You know, right now, everybody's got a loss. 135 00:06:58,079 --> 00:07:01,399 You know, as we've talked about, we're starting to cannibalize 136 00:07:01,439 --> 00:07:03,439 each other, and you know, we're starting to see this 137 00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:06,480 impact now even in the eight people. You look at 138 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,439 the ladest eight people, Georgia's at two. You've got Texas 139 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,800 at five, Tennessee at seven, LSU at eight, and you 140 00:07:14,839 --> 00:07:18,920 have Texas A and m Alabama at fourteen and fifteen, 141 00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:22,639 and Ole miss at eighteen. What why, I ask, is 142 00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:25,439 the SEC not strong? Because what that's going to translate 143 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,000 to is no longer home playoff games. Now we're looking 144 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,920 on the road. Now here's here's what I think we 145 00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:36,399 probably can both agree upon. Even if these SEC teams 146 00:07:36,439 --> 00:07:41,879 are on the road, your Miami example, Penn State, you know, 147 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,519 insert big twelve champion here, I don't think they're going 148 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,199 to be able to match up over four quarters and 149 00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:51,079 then we're going to have mostly at SEC final. But 150 00:07:51,279 --> 00:07:55,199 this cannibalism and even seeing a six nothing score between 151 00:07:55,319 --> 00:07:59,519 Alabama and Tennessee, You're like, where the hell is the fireworks? 152 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 2: What we know? 153 00:08:00,399 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 3: What's going on? Where's that dominant team? And then you 154 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,519 see that number one Texas team that looks so good. 155 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,360 You know, week two in in Harbor, smashed the hell 156 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,160 out of Oklahoma. Last week all of a sudden getting 157 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:16,240 housed by Georgia, Like, yeah, you know what's happening. So 158 00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:18,360 so I when I asked that question, is the SEC 159 00:08:18,519 --> 00:08:22,240 not that good? It's that idea that we've talked about 160 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,959 over the last couple of weeks where I feel like, 161 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:30,439 in twenty twenty four, resetting expectations, the dominating teams aren't 162 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,120 necessarily going to be there, so it's going to be 163 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,080 kind of this muddle congealed kind kind of mess, and 164 00:08:36,399 --> 00:08:38,600 I think that that's where our challenge kind of comes in. 165 00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 1: No, I agree, I agree, and I think it's definitely 166 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,200 gonna get spoken. But I think the strength to SEC 167 00:08:44,279 --> 00:08:46,960 gets proven, as you said a moment ago, in the playoffs, 168 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,200 because whoever you get in, you're going to get to 169 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,559 see that. I get it that you're not really you're 170 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,080 not really comparing across the entire league, and because of 171 00:08:54,159 --> 00:08:56,879 the way that teams and players behave in bowl games, 172 00:08:56,879 --> 00:08:59,600 you don't get the luxury of getting true matchups in 173 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:04,200 both season to see what the middle to lesser tiers 174 00:09:04,279 --> 00:09:06,240 look like. When they match up with the six and 175 00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:08,559 six versus the six and six type of team. But 176 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,279 I think that we will be able to see in 177 00:09:10,399 --> 00:09:14,240 the playoff kind of the strength of the SEC like 178 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,759 you said, even if they do go on the road. 179 00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:18,720 The crazy thing though, speaking of the playoff, is going 180 00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:22,639 to be can teams do this consistently win at this. 181 00:09:22,639 --> 00:09:24,399 Speaker 2: Level for three games in a row? 182 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,279 Speaker 1: When you talk about at Georgia going down twenty eight 183 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,240 nothing to in Alabama, you got Alabama dropping two games already, 184 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,879 Tennessee lost to Arkansas. Now Texas looked like they did yesterday, 185 00:09:33,919 --> 00:09:37,639 and we have questions at the quarterback position. So my 186 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,240 question comes in, and I think a lot of people's 187 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,919 question is going to come in at this point to 188 00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:45,960 who is really going to be able to sustain success 189 00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:48,600 over the course of three games. I mean, even Oregon, 190 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:49,919 I get it to the beginning of the year, but 191 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,399 you see how they come out of the gate kind 192 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:53,679 of slow, and they've ramped up to a point where 193 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,200 they're number one at this point. But over the course 194 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,879 of three games, you're going to get three quality matchups. 195 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:04,120 Can these teams perform over the course of twelve quarters? 196 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,200 And I think that's where you get more of an 197 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:09,679 NFL look where some luck is gonna come into play. 198 00:10:09,879 --> 00:10:12,360 You're gonna have to get a call. Let's not talk 199 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,320 about the refs yet because we can't open that can 200 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:20,320 just just yet for your beer exactly yeah, or or 201 00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:24,120 literally anything that you can find, right yeah. 202 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 2: So you're gonna have to get a call. 203 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to get a lucky bounce, You're gonna 204 00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:30,320 have to get a miracle Ryan Williams spin move type 205 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,840 of situation, like these teams are gonna need that over the. 206 00:10:32,759 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 2: Course of course of twelve quarters because. 207 00:10:35,039 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 1: What we have seen, I think is that nobody is 208 00:10:37,519 --> 00:10:41,120 just straight up elite enough to steamroll the rest of 209 00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:43,480 the teams for three for three games in a row. 210 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 2: It's just not gonna happen. But that makes it more 211 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:46,720 fun for us, so. 212 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 3: Hundred percent. And I think that that's what we're you know, 213 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,559 we're taking a look at I think you've got l 214 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,440 s U up top Texas A and Lam's kind of 215 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,360 at the top, and then there's like five six teams 216 00:10:57,399 --> 00:10:59,840 with like one or two losses kind of like right there. 217 00:11:00,399 --> 00:11:04,480 And it's what I love now about No SEC East, 218 00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:07,240 No SEC West. It's what I love about an expanded 219 00:11:07,279 --> 00:11:12,159 college football playoff. Everybody still has a shot. And even 220 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,559 though a team like Bama's got two losses, oh my god, 221 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,840 if we were in a fourteen playoff, Kaitlin de Boor 222 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,879 may be the one getting fired. And we're going to 223 00:11:19,919 --> 00:11:22,639 talk about the hot seat here in just a few minutes. 224 00:11:23,039 --> 00:11:27,320 But like, Alabama's still there. And let's be honest, if 225 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,399 you have Alabama as you were eight or god forbid, 226 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,360 like your nine seed, does anyone want Alabama coming in? 227 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:36,919 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, like absolutely not. Absolutely. 228 00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 3: We can say say all they wanted the last three weeks, 229 00:11:39,279 --> 00:11:41,519 but you and I both know they have enough talent 230 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,559 on that roster that if they get hot, they get 231 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,639 a little bit of confidence, they get rolling. 232 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,399 Speaker 2: Look out, brother well j Jelly Milroe just has the 233 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:53,000 potential to be the best player in the country, and 234 00:11:53,039 --> 00:11:58,480 he's been wildly inconsistent. But but like to your point, don't. 235 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 1: Let him get hot, all right, so quickly, let me 236 00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:04,399 let me just glance over some lesser matchups and then 237 00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:06,519 we'll get to the three big points from week eight. 238 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,559 So you have the South South Carolina steam rolls Oklahoma. 239 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:12,960 They cannot be stopped on the defensive front. 240 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: I told you before elite elite defensive line. Actually heard 241 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,519 an analyst. 242 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,159 Speaker 1: Or a playboy play guy from SEC network said that 243 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,600 South Caline has the best defense in the conference. 244 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,399 Speaker 2: Take that for what for what you will? All right? 245 00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:30,159 Speaker 1: Since since that game, Oklahoma has fired offensive coordinator Seila Trail. 246 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 2: This is on Sunday evening. 247 00:12:32,039 --> 00:12:35,919 Speaker 1: Miszoo won a game against Auburn with a backup quarterback. 248 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,200 Speaker 2: What is the the planes are on fire? MISSISPPI State, 249 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,600 like I said, continues to improve, but A. 250 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,639 Speaker 1: And M is rolling finding a way to win Vandy 251 00:12:45,919 --> 00:12:48,840 five and two, one win away from Bowl eligibility and. 252 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: The game, Hey, a win is a win. 253 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,879 Speaker 1: Kentucky cannot stop Florida and the run game for the 254 00:12:57,919 --> 00:13:01,919 Gators gets it done, which which you know, gives us 255 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,039 more hot seat fodder to get to in just a 256 00:13:04,039 --> 00:13:07,000 few minutes. So we had three games yesterday that I 257 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:09,120 think have results that we really need to talk about, 258 00:13:09,159 --> 00:13:11,919 and I want to start with the one that I. 259 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 3: Can I can I respond? Can I respond real quick 260 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,559 to to the couple we looked at, of course real 261 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,600 quick on Latreill getting fired at Oklahoma. This is the 262 00:13:22,759 --> 00:13:26,000 second year in a row now that Brent Venerables has 263 00:13:26,039 --> 00:13:28,679 fired a coordinator who fired Ted Roof last year at 264 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,919 the end of last season because his defense wasn't working, 265 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,559 even though it's Brent's defense, and now all of a sudden, 266 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,919 the offense isn't working. This is a disaster. And if 267 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,879 you can say somebody has Buyer's remorse, it's going to 268 00:13:42,879 --> 00:13:46,080 be jocastically on deciding to go to the SEC and 269 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,360 extending Venerables. It is not working and it is an 270 00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:52,080 absolute dumpster fire. And I have no idea how he 271 00:13:52,159 --> 00:13:54,840 turns us around. This is only going to get worse 272 00:13:55,039 --> 00:13:57,879 for vulnerable than know. The plan will missed this week. 273 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,639 Speaker 1: From what I hear from my aquaintances in the upstate 274 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:03,879 of South Carolina, some would love to have him back. 275 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 2: At d C. So h we'll see if we'll see 276 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,080 if he can just get the band back together with Dabo. 277 00:14:09,159 --> 00:14:11,919 If it doesn't go well in Norman, yeah. 278 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 3: And then real quick on Auburn. I don't know if 279 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,480 you saw Hugh Freeze, I guess said the press conference 280 00:14:18,039 --> 00:14:20,799 that you know, the coaches are coaching their hearts out 281 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,840 and it's the players on the field that keep screwing 282 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:23,159 it up. 283 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:27,279 Speaker 1: So you know, you know, he also He also made 284 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,320 the comment earlier in the week at his press conference, 285 00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:35,000 uh about the great coaches in the SEC are the 286 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,639 ones who are doing it with lesser rosters. And he 287 00:14:38,279 --> 00:14:41,559 included Eli Drinkuittz in that conversation of coaches who were 288 00:14:41,559 --> 00:14:46,080 doing it with quote unquote lesser rosters. So I'm sure 289 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:46,679 that played a. 290 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:51,039 Speaker 2: Little bit into the message or the bulletin board material. 291 00:14:52,279 --> 00:14:56,679 Speaker 3: For Missoo whatever whatever he preses announced suit clown and 292 00:14:56,759 --> 00:14:58,919 I you know, if he didn't have the number of 293 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,720 two recruiting class, he'd be on the hot seat just 294 00:15:01,759 --> 00:15:04,039 as well, and Auburn be passing around the hat to 295 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,799 raise that. All right, let's let's get in. Let's get 296 00:15:06,799 --> 00:15:09,000 into the end of the real stuff. Enough of it, Okay, So. 297 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: Three games we got to talk about. 298 00:15:11,879 --> 00:15:13,879 Speaker 1: Obviously we're talking about the three thirty and the seven 299 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,519 thirty matchups on ABC yesterday. But let's start with LSU 300 00:15:17,679 --> 00:15:21,720 thumping Arkansas. The clear talent gap there. You got some 301 00:15:21,759 --> 00:15:24,679 inconsistencies in Faettevilla at quarterback. I like Taylor Green, but 302 00:15:24,919 --> 00:15:27,279 you know, you just you get some get it sometimes 303 00:15:27,279 --> 00:15:30,720 and you don't. The real story for me is LSU, 304 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,039 Garrett Nosmeier. We knew what we were going to get 305 00:15:34,039 --> 00:15:36,840 there and experienced quarterback, even though he doesn't necessarily have 306 00:15:36,879 --> 00:15:38,759 as much game experience. He's been on the roster for 307 00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:41,120 a long time. He's gotten spot duty here and there. 308 00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:42,679 Speaker 2: He stuck it out. 309 00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:45,919 Speaker 1: Kudos to him for staying, staying around and not jumping 310 00:15:45,919 --> 00:15:48,279 ship and getting in the portal. He's got his opportunity. 311 00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:50,960 But the story really craig for me is LSU's defense. 312 00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,039 With Blake Baker coming in from Missouri as the coordinator. 313 00:15:54,279 --> 00:15:57,639 I just didn't think they had the personnel, and early 314 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,919 on it looked like maybe that was the case, especially 315 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,039 against USC, who now has proven to not be very good. 316 00:16:03,759 --> 00:16:08,879 But they have improved week after yeah, week after week. 317 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,759 And so if LSU continues on a trajectory of improving 318 00:16:13,799 --> 00:16:19,039 their defense for five more weeks, where are they at the. 319 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,759 Speaker 2: End of this season? Are we talking about the Tigers 320 00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:22,320 in the playoffs? 321 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:24,039 Speaker 1: You know? 322 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,519 Speaker 3: I honestly it's I don't know where my LSU bias 323 00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:32,679 comes in, right, Like, for whatever reason, just Brian Kelly 324 00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,200 has just rubbed me the wrong way. He is a 325 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,080 hell of a coach and he always wins, and I 326 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:39,759 think that's what we're seeing right now with LSQUO, like 327 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,759 he is just consistent as hell. He will win most 328 00:16:43,759 --> 00:16:45,960 of his games. Sure, he's not gonna win the big games. 329 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,960 You know, I think we've seen him getting blown out 330 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,559 once or twice to Alabama, but Kelly has been consistent. 331 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:55,320 You know, hats off to the Tigers. They going to Fayetteville, 332 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,600 Faytheville is not easy to play at, you know, as 333 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,279 Texas a couple of years ago, as Tennessee or earlier 334 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,000 this year. That is a rough schedule. And what you 335 00:17:04,039 --> 00:17:07,279 know Kelly did is he realizes his defense was a mess, 336 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,960 so he brings him Brett Baker from Missou. Last year, 337 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,640 Philly stabilized it. You know, I saw something on social 338 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,319 media today that you know, LSU is actually one of 339 00:17:17,319 --> 00:17:19,839 the reasons they're better on defense is the loss a 340 00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:24,599 Harold Perkins is the fast time. Yeah, because he's not there. 341 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,200 Everybody sort of Norris's role where Perkins was kind of 342 00:17:28,319 --> 00:17:29,839 all over the place, kind of trying to do a 343 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:32,680 little bit of everything. Everybody kind of has a job 344 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,160 and they're doing it and they're doing it well. You know, 345 00:17:36,279 --> 00:17:37,759 I know we're going to talk about a little bit. 346 00:17:37,839 --> 00:17:40,640 I think, you know what happens with the Texas A 347 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,160 and M LSU game is going to be a big 348 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:48,759 determination of SEC championship, and also that that that playoff 349 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,799 because LSU is very much alive. Do I think they 350 00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:55,039 can beat Texas? Do I think they can beat Georgia 351 00:17:55,079 --> 00:17:59,920 and Oklahoma? I'm sorry? Yeah, sorry, not Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia 352 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,680 in Alabama. No, I do not, But I do think 353 00:18:03,799 --> 00:18:05,640 that they are probably good enough to be a fourth 354 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,240 team and to make the playoff. And as Kelly has shown, 355 00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:11,880 he can win those games that he's supposed to. I 356 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,319 think that that's a hallmark of Brian Kelly. He doesn't 357 00:18:14,319 --> 00:18:16,640 always win the big games, but all those games he's 358 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,119 expected to win, he usually comes out on top. 359 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: Well, hey, just one, just a reminder really quick. Obviously 360 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,000 we're gonna talk about in just a minute. They have 361 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,039 Taste A and M this week, then they have a 362 00:18:27,039 --> 00:18:28,920 bye week, and then down the stretch they have a 363 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,799 four game stretch that starts with Bama. 364 00:18:33,039 --> 00:18:33,759 Speaker 2: We don't know what. 365 00:18:35,319 --> 00:18:36,799 Speaker 3: Week that was. 366 00:18:38,559 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: Well, if they beat If they win this week and 367 00:18:42,279 --> 00:18:48,279 they beat Bama, they're home free because they have Florida, 368 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,920 Vanderbilt and Oklahoma to close the year. And I just 369 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:54,640 don't see it. 370 00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 3: I think that the Florida I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm 371 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,720 going to value. But I think they split Texas and 372 00:19:01,799 --> 00:19:04,480 m and Alabama. I think I think that they probably 373 00:19:04,559 --> 00:19:06,559 probably split those two, I think. 374 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: And then you're a two loss, and then you're a 375 00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,839 two loss not going to the champ game in the conference. 376 00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,559 And so then it's gonna all fall and strengthen the schedule, 377 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,359 and you know. 378 00:19:17,559 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 3: The stadium home game and going to Oxford. We're going 379 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:21,559 to Baton. 380 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:23,279 Speaker 2: Rouge maybe, hey, Garth Brooks. 381 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 3: Garth Brooks said, we're calling Baton Rouge. 382 00:19:25,519 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 2: We'll just stay in New Orleans and drive over. Sounds good. Hey, 383 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,960 college the coast. 384 00:19:32,039 --> 00:19:35,799 Speaker 1: If you're listening to us and there's an l s 385 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,759 U home game in the playoffs, you got to send 386 00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:39,440 us to cover it. 387 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,680 Speaker 3: We're all over it for We'll bring Uncle Tony, We'll bring. 388 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 2: We'll do the whole thing.

I bet the coffee is great. 400 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 3: So here's my big question. Yeah, a big, big question 401 00:20:20,039 --> 00:20:25,319 for you. So rather than breaking down Alabama and Tennessee, 402 00:20:27,519 --> 00:20:28,480 is Bama done? 403 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:29,079 Speaker 2: Like? 404 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,799 Speaker 3: What's going on? This is now week three? We keep 405 00:20:31,839 --> 00:20:35,240 saying it's time to go, it's time to go, it's 406 00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:39,759 time to go. At what point are you turning it on? Does? 407 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,960 Does does Bama get right? Like? 408 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:43,079 Speaker 2: Or here's the thing. 409 00:20:45,039 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 1: Here's the thing about Bama for me is I've predicted 410 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,240 them nine and three to start the year. So it's 411 00:20:50,279 --> 00:20:51,799 not like I'm it's not like I'm shook out of 412 00:20:51,839 --> 00:20:54,200 my shoes on what's happening. 413 00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:56,559 Speaker 3: Some of us might be shootout off our shoes. I know, 414 00:20:56,599 --> 00:20:59,680 like Courtneys on our the NBG podcast are good friends. 415 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,000 I mean, she is shook out of her shoes and 416 00:21:02,039 --> 00:21:04,599 she is all beside herself. She wants to cancel Halloween. 417 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,279 She's you know, they're freaking out. 418 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: I actually picked this game in April for Tennessee to 419 00:21:12,279 --> 00:21:17,000 win and it so it is what it is. I 420 00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:19,759 thought it would be a totally different looking game. I 421 00:21:19,799 --> 00:21:28,200 think that my concern for Alabama is the defensive in effectiveness. 422 00:21:28,519 --> 00:21:31,039 I'll say, like, they're kind of porous, and I think 423 00:21:31,079 --> 00:21:33,000 it reflects Marl Tennessee when we look at yesterday. And 424 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,279 I'm gonna get to that in just a second, but 425 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,480 I think that you can throw the ball on Alabama, 426 00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:39,319 which just hasn't happened in a really long time. And 427 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:43,519 on the offensive side of the ball, it's clear that 428 00:21:43,559 --> 00:21:46,160 Milroe is looking for Ryan Williams all the time. And 429 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,640 that tells me one of two things. Either Ryan Williams 430 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,359 is clearly head and shoulders above every other playmaker that 431 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,680 they have, or Jaylen Milroe is too. 432 00:21:55,559 --> 00:22:01,200 Speaker 2: Locked in on one guy. Because I agree, I've heard 433 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,279 the take multiple times that, oh, Ryan Williams is the 434 00:22:03,319 --> 00:22:05,839 only elite playmaker that they have. I don't buy it. 435 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,400 I don't think that's true. I don't think it's true. 436 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,920 Speaker 1: I think that Milroe is just infatuated with the with 437 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,119 the seventeen year old as much as the national everybody 438 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,359 else is and he just throws. 439 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 2: He just continues to throw them the ball because he 440 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:20,640 is the best playmaker. 441 00:22:20,839 --> 00:22:23,799 Speaker 1: I don't think he's the only playmaker on that side 442 00:22:23,799 --> 00:22:27,079 of the football. And so for Alabama, you're kind of 443 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,920 on track for what I expected. You got two losses. 444 00:22:30,039 --> 00:22:31,640 I'm gonna go ahead and tell you right now, as 445 00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:38,640 I'm sitting here, I have them losing to LSU and 446 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,440 winning the rest of their remaining games. 447 00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 2: That was my April prediction, and as we stand today, 448 00:22:43,759 --> 00:22:44,400 I stick to it. 449 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:47,519 Speaker 3: So I think they're gonna then take care of business. 450 00:22:47,519 --> 00:22:52,200 I think Missouri has shown themselves against the top competition 451 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,480 to get climbed a little bit. So I think this 452 00:22:54,599 --> 00:22:56,559 is a get right game for them. They get to 453 00:22:56,599 --> 00:22:59,720 buy a week and then they're off Telusue again. I think, 454 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,640 just like LSU, Texas ay, and that's going to be 455 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,319 that statement, uh three point thirty. I think that's going 456 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,960 to be at Tiger Stadium in two weeks. That is 457 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,319 gonna be that's gonna tell the tale of Alabama. And 458 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:14,079 I do think a nine to three Alabama makes the playoff. 459 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,440 I think the name gets them in because we're thinking 460 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:21,640 about ratings, we're thinking about paychecks, I'm gonna say Alabama 461 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:23,200 gets it right, and I think they're gonna end up 462 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:24,920 at ten and too. I think they will be probably 463 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,720 on the outside looking in for the SEC championship though. 464 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,160 But I but I, but I do I do think. 465 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,400 So you know that coaching staff is good. Change is hard, 466 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,000 it's difficult. Saban is not there anymore. So we've got 467 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:40,559 a little bit of a different touch, a little bit 468 00:23:40,599 --> 00:23:41,359 of a different feel. 469 00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 2: What did we expect? What did we expect? How is 470 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,720 it possible that people expect perfection to just roll over? 471 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,079 You don't go from the goat. I don't care who 472 00:23:50,079 --> 00:23:50,440 you hired. 473 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: I think Calen de Boorr was the best person they 474 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,039 could have possibly hired to take over the job. 475 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:57,039 Speaker 2: But it is a great job. 476 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,519 Speaker 1: It's just not he did and it's just not happened. 477 00:24:00,759 --> 00:24:04,039 It is impossible. It is insane of us to think 478 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,039 that there's going to be no drop off and everything's 479 00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:07,640 just going to continue on status quo. 480 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 3: Well, here's my old man rat, because even though I'm 481 00:24:11,039 --> 00:24:12,559 forty one years old, I'm going to take the old 482 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,799 man rant. Everyone it just expects it to be instant 483 00:24:16,839 --> 00:24:20,440 gratification that things are going to be easy Alabama has 484 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,759 been the lead for so long. We don't understand how 485 00:24:23,799 --> 00:24:27,640 good Alabama has been that losing once or twice has 486 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,279 been looked at as like a negative. And you know, 487 00:24:31,319 --> 00:24:33,680 they're held to such a high standard. Their fan base 488 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:38,880 is spoiled. Their fan base is used to dominating these teams, 489 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:42,519 and now it's like rosters and flux. Things are changing, 490 00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:45,799 things are different. So like, I think, I think that 491 00:24:45,799 --> 00:24:47,839 that's kind of where we kind of where we're at. 492 00:24:49,759 --> 00:24:53,319 Speaker 1: I think that the game yesterday, and Kneeland says more 493 00:24:53,319 --> 00:24:56,279 about Tennessee to me in terms of concerns. 494 00:24:56,839 --> 00:24:59,559 Speaker 2: They won the game. It's all great. They lit the cigars. 495 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:00,480 It is what it is. 496 00:25:01,079 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 1: They should have blown them out. Nico missed six or 497 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:05,640 seven deep ball. 498 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,799 Speaker 3: Nicol looks average, Nico looks. 499 00:25:07,559 --> 00:25:13,039 Speaker 1: Savage and and the kryptonite of this offense is inaccuracy 500 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,000 at the quarterback position. We've said it so many times. 501 00:25:16,039 --> 00:25:18,079 Several weeks ago, right here on this show, we said, 502 00:25:18,319 --> 00:25:21,680 he looks like Joe Milton. Over the course of his career. 503 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,279 Will he be more successful than Joe Milton? Yes, I 504 00:25:24,319 --> 00:25:26,759 believe that shrue. He's a red shirt freshman. Joe Milton 505 00:25:26,759 --> 00:25:30,400 was on his sixth year, not this year. He's not 506 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,079 accurate with the he's not accurate with the football. 507 00:25:34,519 --> 00:25:37,079 Speaker 3: You know what's gonna happen. You So two or three 508 00:25:37,079 --> 00:25:39,359 weeks from now, they're gonna go. They're gonna go to Athens. 509 00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:42,839 They're playing at Athens. We've seen this story before and 510 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:46,039 this is not being being a Georgia Homer. Nico has 511 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:51,319 shown against big they're gonna eat him up. And he's 512 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,960 just missing too. It's too many deep balls. You know, 513 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,880 the deep balls are easy against Old Dominion or acron 514 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,240 or whoever the hell you know, Tennessee. I'm sorry that 515 00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:03,519 was South Carolina's schedule, who whoever. The Bibles are playing 516 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,720 in the in the early nine conference, full deep boulder. 517 00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:09,240 But like you know, it's just too too many of 518 00:26:09,279 --> 00:26:09,920 those passes. 519 00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:13,079 Speaker 2: They were there, they were there, they were there. 520 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: And the last thing that I'll say is I've heard 521 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:17,519 the take that he's better on the move and get 522 00:26:17,559 --> 00:26:18,839 him out of the pocket, and YadA, YadA. 523 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,839 Speaker 2: He rolled to the left. Yesterday. I watched this on 524 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,319 a drive. This was middle of the middle of the 525 00:26:24,319 --> 00:26:24,759 second half. 526 00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:27,559 Speaker 1: He rolls to the left and threw back late across 527 00:26:27,599 --> 00:26:31,160 his body and he completed it and it worked, and 528 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,279 he tried it again like two plays later, and he 529 00:26:33,319 --> 00:26:35,119 threw a pick in the red zone. 530 00:26:36,279 --> 00:26:37,759 Speaker 2: And that's just it just. 531 00:26:37,599 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: Screams first year starter, screams redshir freshman, and that's okay. 532 00:26:44,519 --> 00:26:46,559 Speaker 2: It's not taking a shot at him. 533 00:26:46,839 --> 00:26:50,759 Speaker 1: But I keep hearing this like it's the second We're 534 00:26:50,759 --> 00:26:51,759 gonna get the second half. 535 00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:52,160 Speaker 2: Nico. 536 00:26:52,559 --> 00:26:55,319 Speaker 1: The way he came out in the second half and played, okay, 537 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,759 that's fine, but he didn't play that way in. 538 00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 2: The first half. 539 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,279 Speaker 1: And you have three first half in games this year 540 00:27:00,279 --> 00:27:03,359 where Tennessee has put up a goose egg for the offense. 541 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 2: It's supposed to be. 542 00:27:05,279 --> 00:27:10,039 Speaker 3: Six points on Saturday. Yes, it just right, and you 543 00:27:10,079 --> 00:27:12,720 know it was that last game. You know again going forward, 544 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,200 I love how we're kind of like analyzing the game 545 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,200 but also saying, like, you know, how's this impact of 546 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,079 the season. You look at Texas Georgia. The biggest takeaway 547 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,839 I have from that game is there's uncertainty at the 548 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:33,200 quarterback position. Carson Beck for Georgia, uh top five projected 549 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,480 pick in the NFL draft. For the season, he has 550 00:27:35,519 --> 00:27:41,039 been candidate. I will not be censored here and tell 551 00:27:41,079 --> 00:27:43,759 you text you what what what what I texted you 552 00:27:43,839 --> 00:27:48,119 on Saturday night about Carson Beck. But yet again has 553 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,240 another game where he has three interceptions and three turnovers. 554 00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:51,960 Speaker 2: Uh. 555 00:27:52,519 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 3: Beck, I know is not playing with a full stack. 556 00:27:55,559 --> 00:27:59,440 I know he does not have a full complement of receivers, 557 00:28:00,079 --> 00:28:03,200 but he does have ETN which has been a nice lecture. 558 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,200 It's nice to see him get three touchdowns the other night. 559 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:11,480 But like in these big games, Beck has struggled. And 560 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,160 you know where Georgia goes if their defense is lights 561 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,839 out again, probably takes care of business. But I think 562 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:22,519 the biggest challenge that we have seen is that Beck 563 00:28:22,799 --> 00:28:26,119 has not been able to play elite in these big games. 564 00:28:26,559 --> 00:28:30,240 And that also brings us to the quarterback controversy. You know, 565 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,559 Quinn looked rough early on in that game. I think 566 00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:36,839 he threw two picks at a fumble. Uh. You know, 567 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:38,720 they brought in an Arch and everybody was like, why 568 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,680 did they bring it an Arch? You know, one of 569 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:43,599 the things that we talked about we were talking about 570 00:28:43,599 --> 00:28:48,240 that writers shed last night. Arch brings some versatility. You know, 571 00:28:48,279 --> 00:28:50,319 there's a couple of times where they're doing that read 572 00:28:50,319 --> 00:28:53,440 option with Quinn and Georgia wasn't even looking at Quinn, 573 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,160 they were just zeroing it on the back, where with 574 00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:00,000 Arch in there, he's got a similar arm. He's got 575 00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:03,319 a nice arm, but Arch has the ability to run. 576 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,440 And if Texas is going to go, I think Sarks 577 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,720 to take a page out of Savings book and when 578 00:29:09,759 --> 00:29:13,519 he went from Jalen to Tua, I think it's time 579 00:29:13,519 --> 00:29:16,119 to bring in Arch if because if Texas is going 580 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,039 to be dynamic against those high end, high end defenses, 581 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,319 Arch provides that extra set where it is truly eleven 582 00:29:24,359 --> 00:29:26,160 nine to eleven, where if you have yours in there, 583 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:27,559 it's ten versus eleven. 584 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,519 Speaker 2: I think that what you're seeing in Texas is. 585 00:29:32,559 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: The quarterback controversy is hinging on what we cannot see 586 00:29:38,079 --> 00:29:40,680 because we're basing all of our we're basing all of 587 00:29:40,799 --> 00:29:44,599 our evaluations on on the field performance. But if you 588 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,039 listen to start and talk about it, he continuously says 589 00:29:47,319 --> 00:29:51,000 phrases like this is Quinn's team. So we know from 590 00:29:51,119 --> 00:29:53,319 from that that it appears that Quinn yours is the 591 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:54,920 leader of the football team. He's the leader in the 592 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,119 locker room. He's the one the guys looked to, he's 593 00:29:57,119 --> 00:29:59,759 the one that they follow. He's been there with them longer. 594 00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:02,440 And so I think there's a question in Sark's mind 595 00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:07,519 about if I make this switch, what is in jeopardy here? 596 00:30:07,799 --> 00:30:10,920 Can I lose the locker room if we go to Arch. 597 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:14,400 Is there a confidence that the rest of the team 598 00:30:14,559 --> 00:30:18,839 has because they believe in Quinn, Not that they don't 599 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,720 believe in Arch's ability, but just simply, hey, Quinn, yours 600 00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:26,559 is our guy, and we're following him into battle no 601 00:30:26,599 --> 00:30:29,799 matter what happens. I think that's been a question in 602 00:30:29,839 --> 00:30:31,640 Sark's mind a little bit. And when he made the 603 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,920 switch last night, you know I was. 604 00:30:35,119 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 2: I questioned it a little bit, But to be honest 605 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,240 with you, I questioned it even more when he puts 606 00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:42,400 Quinn ears back in the game. 607 00:30:43,839 --> 00:30:48,039 Speaker 1: Granted it worked. His statement at halftime about how I 608 00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:51,119 need to settle him down. I don't agree with nobody 609 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,440 gets settled down because they get benched, they get a 610 00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:55,920 fire lit under them that hey, if I get another shot, 611 00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,240 I better go out here and capitalize. And I think 612 00:30:58,279 --> 00:31:00,680 that's what happened, and I think that's what he was doing. 613 00:31:02,519 --> 00:31:06,000 But to be honest with you, it seemed like listening 614 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,640 to start talk that his plan all along was let's 615 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:12,839 give Arch a series or two, regroup and come back 616 00:31:12,839 --> 00:31:15,279 out with Quinn in the second half. And I'm just 617 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,519 not sure that I'm buying it. I'm just not sure 618 00:31:18,519 --> 00:31:20,480 that I'm buying it. I think he was testing the 619 00:31:20,519 --> 00:31:23,319 waters and if they had gone down and scored, he 620 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,599 sticks it out with Arch. I don't think it was 621 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:28,079 ever Let's give him a series or two and then 622 00:31:28,119 --> 00:31:31,359 we're flipping back in the second half automatically. I think 623 00:31:31,359 --> 00:31:33,720 it was a test. I think it was an evaluation point. 624 00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:38,039 Speaker 3: Well, and you know, I go back to Alabama right 625 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:45,960 twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. You have Tua and Jalen was 626 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,160 the leader, the leader of that program, and Saban makes 627 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:50,839 the decision too. 628 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 2: Is my guy? 629 00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 3: You know, Jalen is that leader. He's able to do that. 630 00:31:57,839 --> 00:32:02,160 If Sark thinks about know what, looking at what our 631 00:32:02,279 --> 00:32:06,720 ceiling is and where we're able to go? Can I 632 00:32:06,759 --> 00:32:09,519 put Arch there? Can Quinn still be that guy? And 633 00:32:09,599 --> 00:32:12,680 you know, Quinn has a lot of he's done the 634 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,640 right things, and you know what, he's been super supportive. 635 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:18,559 You know, he's got the haircut now. He seems like 636 00:32:18,599 --> 00:32:21,119 he said, I know he has some menile stuff going 637 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:25,519 on early on, but I think that becomes the conversation 638 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:31,319 of when yours you're probably a first round playoff team, 639 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,559 You probably get to an SEC championship. Maybe you know, 640 00:32:35,599 --> 00:32:38,440 Texas Sandum might be close. Maybe maybe not. I don't 641 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,559 know what what happens there with Texas, but maybe you 642 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:46,000 get to a quarterfinal. Where with Arch, because you have 643 00:32:46,079 --> 00:32:51,359 that other ability, can you get to win an SEC championship? 644 00:32:52,359 --> 00:32:55,799 Can you challenge Georgia possibly for a national championship? Can 645 00:32:55,799 --> 00:32:58,519 you challenge Oregon for that? Can you challenge Ohio State 646 00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:01,519 for that? And I think that becomes a question because 647 00:33:01,559 --> 00:33:03,559 I am there with you. I do think this is 648 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,279 Quinn's team very much. You look at from start or 649 00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:10,039 the social media, this is Quinn's team. This is Quinn's team. 650 00:33:10,119 --> 00:33:13,079 This is Quinn's team. So I think that's going to 651 00:33:13,079 --> 00:33:15,359 be the biggest question that I have kind of going forward, 652 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:19,359 is what I want to look at is does Arch 653 00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,160 get that longer look because of that extra element that 654 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:22,880 he has. 655 00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: Okay, here's where I ultimately land with it, and then 656 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,799 we'll we move on to look at it next week. 657 00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:29,880 Speaker 2: One of the greatest offensive minds and play. 658 00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,559 Speaker 1: Callers in the history of college football, the headball coach himself, 659 00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:39,200 Steve Spurrier was notorious for pulling quarterbacks at the blink 660 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:42,319 of an eye and at the height of South Carolina's success. 661 00:33:42,319 --> 00:33:44,480 We'll look at that because that's where, you know, most 662 00:33:44,519 --> 00:33:47,319 of my life's attention has been, at the height of 663 00:33:47,359 --> 00:33:48,240 their success. 664 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:53,519 Speaker 2: You have in the middle of that this splipping back. 665 00:33:53,359 --> 00:33:57,720 Speaker 1: And forth between Stephen Garcia and Connorshaw. Ye where even 666 00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:02,079 when Garcia was playing well and even when Shaw was 667 00:34:02,079 --> 00:34:04,559 coming on and beginning his career, they have a year 668 00:34:04,599 --> 00:34:07,440 where they kind of over where they where they really 669 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:11,079 overlap in terms of playing time, and he pulls them 670 00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,800 and they're kind of interchangeable. And you look at his 671 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,440 time at Florida and there was the same type of 672 00:34:16,519 --> 00:34:19,320 dynamic where if if he felt like. 673 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 2: One guy was going to give you a better. 674 00:34:22,199 --> 00:34:27,159 Speaker 1: Matchup in this series, this play this game, it didn't matter, 675 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,280 he was going to switch it up and play somebody different. 676 00:34:29,519 --> 00:34:33,239 And I just wonder if that's too dramatic of a 677 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,159 change in Austin, if Sark goes to the. 678 00:34:37,079 --> 00:34:39,159 Speaker 3: Heart, I think I think it's I think it's hard 679 00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:42,679 to do in Texas, right, Like, like no offense South Carolina, 680 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:44,639 you know, even Florida, Right. 681 00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,880 Speaker 1: I think, I think, but I think that the I 682 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,199 think the I think that the key to that is 683 00:34:49,519 --> 00:34:52,639 the supporting cast around him. And I think South Carolina specifically, 684 00:34:53,039 --> 00:34:55,320 all those years you had a you had a really 685 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,280 good running game, and you had a dominant defense. And 686 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:03,360 so Texas has those pieces. They have those pieces, and 687 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:07,519 so you can maybe with two quarterbacks, as we've said 688 00:35:07,519 --> 00:35:09,880 time and time again, who would both start on a 689 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,800 whole lot of rosters across the country, can you do 690 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:15,719 have the ability to maybe move them back and forth 691 00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,400 as long as you can hold team together and it 692 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:23,480 doesn't break something mentally in the locker room. 693 00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 3: I'm right there. I'm right there with you, all right. 694 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:30,519 So as we as we look at the week ahead, yep, 695 00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:32,239 are there are two games that really stand out to 696 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:34,199 you that like, hey, I'm going to make sure I'm 697 00:35:34,199 --> 00:35:36,199 going to find it either on the phone or for 698 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:37,000 a big screen. 699 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:38,480 Speaker 2: Yeah. 700 00:35:38,559 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: So I think that first of all, I'm gonna go 701 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:46,199 opposite endo the spectrum and what really stands out to 702 00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:50,199 me on the top end, you have an LSU match 703 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,119 up with Texas A and M. I like LSU As 704 00:35:53,199 --> 00:35:56,119 it has become clear here, I think what a and 705 00:35:56,199 --> 00:35:58,840 M's got going on is sneaky good. It's under the radar, 706 00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,599 but maybe not quite to the level of what LSU 707 00:36:01,679 --> 00:36:02,000 was doing. 708 00:36:02,039 --> 00:36:03,639 Speaker 2: I like LSU in this football game. 709 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:05,639 Speaker 1: I think that what we've seen from them is just 710 00:36:05,679 --> 00:36:08,880 a level of resilience where they find ways to go 711 00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,039 out there and just pull it out. That screams maturity 712 00:36:11,079 --> 00:36:13,360 to me. And I'll go right back to representing Garrett 713 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,880 Ussemier when it comes to that. I think they're following 714 00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:19,280 your worship, They're following his leadership in terms of just 715 00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:22,119 being able to wheel it out. And the example is 716 00:36:22,199 --> 00:36:24,960 last week against Old Miss. He doesn't have a good 717 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,079 game and then his last two passes are absolutely clutched 718 00:36:28,159 --> 00:36:30,960 up to get the win, go to overtime, and then 719 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:32,559 on the first play to Lacey. 720 00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:35,599 Speaker 2: So yeah, that's the one that I'm looking at because 721 00:36:35,599 --> 00:36:36,760 I think it's a de facto. 722 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,639 Speaker 1: Kind of playoff elimination situation, because we do think that 723 00:36:41,199 --> 00:36:44,119 LSU and TAA and M have are right in the 724 00:36:44,119 --> 00:36:47,039 thick of playoff contention at this point, even though we 725 00:36:47,119 --> 00:36:48,719 may not want to admit that that may not have 726 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,280 been a narrative early on, it's the reality of where 727 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:51,639 we're at. 728 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 2: So definitely watching that one. Any thoughts there before I 729 00:36:55,519 --> 00:36:57,239 tell you my other one that I'm watching. 730 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,199 Speaker 3: No, I'm right there with you, you know. I think 731 00:37:00,199 --> 00:37:03,159 it's interesting. Again. You see Texas A and M being 732 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,760 the lower ranked team. They played Notre Dame back in 733 00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,880 Week one. They are the lower ranked team yet their 734 00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:11,840 favorite at home. So I'm really interested to see what 735 00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,320 does Kyle Field look like Saturday night? What does a 736 00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,599 twelfth man kind of look like? And then what does 737 00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:20,199 LSU do this to me? Screams twenty to seventeen, something 738 00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:24,840 low scoring. I'm looking for LSU to really do something. 739 00:37:25,039 --> 00:37:27,039 And then if I'll go in and the Aggies are serious, 740 00:37:27,159 --> 00:37:29,679 I'm not so sure after what happened last week. Agains 741 00:37:29,679 --> 00:37:32,480 Mississippi State. That's the biggest thing I'm looking for, all right, 742 00:37:32,519 --> 00:37:33,199 what else you get? 743 00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:36,559 Speaker 1: Okay, So on the opposite end of the spectrum, just 744 00:37:36,599 --> 00:37:39,400 because I want to see something catch on fire, I'm 745 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,880 looking at Auburn and Kentucky because we said, we said 746 00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:46,559 last week, we said last week. Then we wanted to 747 00:37:46,599 --> 00:37:49,760 look at Kentucky and Florida to see, you know, whoever 748 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:54,360 loses that game is in a bad spot. And Kentucky 749 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:57,920 lost the game and lost it, lost it by a 750 00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,519 pretty wide margin. So I'm looking here at two teams 751 00:38:01,559 --> 00:38:05,880 that are that are struggling, and I want to see, 752 00:38:06,639 --> 00:38:09,360 you know, you got Kentucky at at three and four? 753 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,920 Do they go to do they go to three and five? 754 00:38:13,039 --> 00:38:15,719 You got Auburn at two and five already? Do they 755 00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:16,920 go to two and six? 756 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:19,440 Speaker 2: Who's gonna Who's gonna pull that out? 757 00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:23,280 Speaker 1: And then, honestly, I'm I'm interested to watch some postgame 758 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,599 pressers after that game and see what what type of 759 00:38:27,639 --> 00:38:29,719 coach speak we get to try to dig out of 760 00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:34,360 the whole of three and five or two and six, 761 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:35,400 depending on which right it goes. 762 00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,280 Speaker 2: And to be completely honest with you, I have no clue. 763 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,079 I think I would go Auburn as. 764 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:46,159 Speaker 3: Right now, thoughts and prayers to our good buddy Taylor 765 00:38:46,159 --> 00:38:48,960 as ours are. He's gonna draw the short strong, I'm 766 00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,519 pretty sure, and get that game on Saturday night and 767 00:38:52,199 --> 00:38:55,480 no thank you game. I'm looking at one other game 768 00:38:55,519 --> 00:38:59,400 I'm really looking at uh is Old Miss Oklahoma. Old 769 00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,519 Miss is coming off of bye week. They are five 770 00:39:01,559 --> 00:39:02,960 and two, and I think Ole Miss is at a 771 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:07,840 critical juncture. Lane was celebrating Landry's birthday this weekend. My gosh, 772 00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:11,159 has social media is blowing up, So happy birthday, Landry. 773 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,800 Now let's see if dak can get focused and bring 774 00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:17,480 the Revs back into contention for that college football playoff. 775 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,920 You know, you're looking at their schedule, it sets up 776 00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:24,280 pretty nice. That Georgia game on November ninth is probably 777 00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,760 going to be the most important one. But again, I 778 00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,880 think at nine and three, Old Miss now has an 779 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,119 opportunity to be at one of those at large spots, 780 00:39:34,119 --> 00:39:37,039 maybe a ten, eleven or twelve. So I'm going to 781 00:39:37,119 --> 00:39:41,679 look for Old Miss to get themselves right on offense, 782 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,039 and I am going to say they're going to put 783 00:39:44,119 --> 00:39:47,960 up half one hundred against the boys from Norman. 784 00:39:49,519 --> 00:39:51,199 Speaker 2: I think the other side of that is what interests 785 00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:51,840 me even more. 786 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,280 Speaker 1: It's the same thing where we talk about Tennessee and 787 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,639 it's the hype of offense, but really Tennessee's defense has 788 00:39:56,639 --> 00:39:57,599 been winning games for them. 789 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:58,480 Speaker 2: I think we can. 790 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:01,119 Speaker 1: Obviously talk about lane and then they're offense. And Jackson 791 00:40:01,199 --> 00:40:04,760 Dartist has been good this year, and Trey Harris through 792 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,079 much of the season was you know, one of the 793 00:40:07,119 --> 00:40:09,920 best receivers in the country before getting banged up with 794 00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,679 some injuries, and we'll see what happens with him coming 795 00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,599 out of this bye week. But it's the defensive front 796 00:40:14,599 --> 00:40:17,280 for all Miss that's just stacked Walter Nolan and J. J. 797 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,480 Pergeese and those guys are going to just absolutely wreck Oklahoma. 798 00:40:22,119 --> 00:40:25,159 They have nothing up front to stop, to stop anything 799 00:40:26,199 --> 00:40:30,840 that is remotely talented on the defensive front. 800 00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:35,000 Speaker 3: And I don't want to Let's make tough Old Miss 801 00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,639 student section stay in the game till the end. You 802 00:40:37,679 --> 00:40:39,639 don't want Lane crying about it after the game. 803 00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's to get ugly. 804 00:40:43,639 --> 00:40:47,079 Speaker 3: That is. That is that's a new game. All right. 805 00:40:47,119 --> 00:40:49,079 What we got for the last word? My friend? 806 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:52,360 Speaker 1: All right, as as contributors to the last one on 807 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,280 college football, we want to always give a tip of 808 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:59,119 the hat and thank you to our colleagues and bosses 809 00:40:59,159 --> 00:41:04,159 over there. So it's time for the last word here 810 00:41:04,199 --> 00:41:06,000 on It just means more football and coffee. We love 811 00:41:06,039 --> 00:41:09,320 to get a nice cup of Joe steam coming out 812 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,400 of the top and grab a biscuit or a pancake, 813 00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:15,000 some scrambled eggs, you know, over easy or medium. 814 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:16,239 Speaker 2: Or whatever Craig likes. 815 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,920 Speaker 1: So we're sticking with the breakfast theme. Who is burnt 816 00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,880 toast in our last word this week. So out of 817 00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:27,360 these three teams, Craig, who's in the most trouble Auburn, 818 00:41:28,159 --> 00:41:32,840 Kentucky Oklahoma. Let me preface this before your answer, just 819 00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:37,119 by saying, I'm assuming Mississippi State is in a. 820 00:41:37,079 --> 00:41:39,280 Speaker 2: Heavy rebuild, so we're not gonna consider them for this. 821 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:43,480 Speaker 1: And given the schedule, I'm assuming that billion Napier is 822 00:41:43,519 --> 00:41:45,079 already collecting his buyout. 823 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:46,920 Speaker 2: So we're gonna take those two out. 824 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: Of out of contention, and we're gonna look just at Auburn, Kentucky, Oklahoma, 825 00:41:52,519 --> 00:41:56,880 which team is in the worst situation. And I guess 826 00:41:56,880 --> 00:42:00,480 the follow up is which program? 827 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 3: I really think it's that game Saturday night. It's gonna really, 828 00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:10,840 I think determine this game between Auburn and Kentucky because 829 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,039 I could see one or both of these guys getting 830 00:42:13,039 --> 00:42:15,360 fired at the end of the year. You know, Mark Stoops, 831 00:42:15,599 --> 00:42:18,000 I'm gonna have you you share that analogy again for 832 00:42:18,039 --> 00:42:21,199 the folks. He almost walked out and went to Texas 833 00:42:21,159 --> 00:42:23,480 A and M last year. And I think the chickens 834 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:28,440 are coming home to roost. That program is rapidly declining. 835 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:31,639 But I also look at what's going on in Auburn. 836 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,480 And here's the thing that's wrong with Auburn. You may 837 00:42:36,519 --> 00:42:43,159 be recruiting very well, but Auburn doesn't have patience and 838 00:42:43,559 --> 00:42:47,000 they are off to their worst year they have. You know, 839 00:42:47,119 --> 00:42:49,239 they're they're like what ZH to four I think to 840 00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:52,800 start in the SEC. They're they're a dumpster fire. He 841 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,280 is now worse than what Brian Harrison's has. And you know, 842 00:42:55,360 --> 00:42:57,360 it's great and it's easy we can go blame Brian 843 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,440 Harson's to what's going on. You has had the opportunity 844 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:02,760 of the portal and has not done anything with it 845 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,119 and has done nothing but throw throw his players under 846 00:43:05,159 --> 00:43:10,760 the bus. Uh, Oklahoma, they're cooked as well. I could 847 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:13,119 I but but you know, I think sixty two million 848 00:43:13,119 --> 00:43:15,440 dollars are going to be too much. But if I'm 849 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,639 if I'm looking at it for real, the loser of 850 00:43:18,679 --> 00:43:24,119 that game might get fired Sunday morning between Auburn and Kentucky. 851 00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,400 But I really do think probably both those programs are 852 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,719 gonna be looking for a new coach come December third. 853 00:43:30,119 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 1: Okay, So if Auburn can pull off the win, they 854 00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:37,719 have Vandy the following week, a bye week, and Louisiana Monroe, 855 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:39,880 So Vandy's gonna be a struggle for them. 856 00:43:40,159 --> 00:43:42,119 Speaker 2: Let's not let's let's call it like we see it. 857 00:43:42,559 --> 00:43:45,639 Speaker 1: But there's a potential if Auburn wins to get three 858 00:43:45,639 --> 00:43:48,400 wins right there, then you have A and M in Alabama. 859 00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 2: I don't know about that, but if you have no 860 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:58,800 three wins, uh, currently. 861 00:44:01,320 --> 00:44:02,639 Speaker 3: I think they're lucky to get five. 862 00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:07,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm trying to figure out. 863 00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:08,519 Speaker 3: Kentucky. 864 00:44:08,679 --> 00:44:09,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay. 865 00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,519 Speaker 1: On the other hand, on the other hand, you have 866 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:21,239 Kentucky who is at three wins, and they have Tennessee yikes. 867 00:44:22,199 --> 00:44:24,800 They do have Murray State, who's in the first year 868 00:44:25,039 --> 00:44:27,039 of a new head coach, so I don't expect them 869 00:44:27,039 --> 00:44:27,840 to lose that one. 870 00:44:28,719 --> 00:44:29,039 Speaker 2: And then the. 871 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 1: Texas well, he was South Carolinas tight end coach last 872 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,599 year and uh he's then they have Texas, Texas and 873 00:44:38,639 --> 00:44:41,559 Louisville after that, so. 874 00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 3: They'll be They'll be Louisville because Kentucky always be living no. 875 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 2: Matter how Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. 876 00:44:47,559 --> 00:44:51,039 Speaker 1: It's pretty the gap is getting wider, so I don't 877 00:44:51,039 --> 00:44:53,800 I don't know that. I see if if they lose 878 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:57,639 to Auburn, I see maybe one more win. Is it 879 00:44:57,679 --> 00:45:00,159 possible they could be a four win a four in 880 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,000 eighteen after. This is not my analogy, but I will 881 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,079 share it again. I heard it from Mike Morgan of 882 00:45:05,639 --> 00:45:09,519 ESPNSC Network. But Mark Suits essentially told his wife that 883 00:45:09,599 --> 00:45:11,960 he was leading her for another woman, showed up to 884 00:45:12,039 --> 00:45:14,079 his meet up with the other woman and got ghosted, 885 00:45:14,119 --> 00:45:15,440 and then had to go back home and live with 886 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:15,840 his wife. 887 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:16,599 Speaker 2: And that's what happened. 888 00:45:16,639 --> 00:45:19,639 Speaker 1: That's what's happening in less than right now, and it's 889 00:45:19,679 --> 00:45:22,679 it just can't be pro it can't be such a 890 00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:23,519 good analogy. 891 00:45:23,599 --> 00:45:27,400 Speaker 3: But no, it's so perfect. It is so perfect. Yeah, 892 00:45:27,440 --> 00:45:29,679 I mean, and. 893 00:45:29,639 --> 00:45:33,039 Speaker 1: Then if you look at if you look at Oklahoma, 894 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,119 you got old miss this week, they do have Maine, 895 00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:44,039 he's surprisingly good, and then Missouri Bama and LSU. That's 896 00:45:44,079 --> 00:45:46,960 looking tough, even with Missouri being what I'm going to 897 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:51,039 continue to refer to as fraudulent. I don't know that 898 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:55,079 that Oklahoma has the talent to stack up. 899 00:45:55,159 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 3: So watch out for Bananas t Bear the mascot for Maine. 900 00:46:00,199 --> 00:46:02,960 Speaker 2: You got one game, and that's the main game where 901 00:46:03,039 --> 00:46:03,920 you should. 902 00:46:03,559 --> 00:46:07,360 Speaker 3: Have antas bananaske Bear is coming. 903 00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,159 Speaker 2: You should have a talent advantage at least. 904 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,360 Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's tough if I have to pick one here, sheesh, 905 00:46:16,039 --> 00:46:17,320 I think I gotta go to Kentucky. 906 00:46:18,519 --> 00:46:19,599 Speaker 2: I think I gotta go Kentucky. 907 00:46:19,800 --> 00:46:22,400 Speaker 3: I think I'm going I'm going to Auburn with all 908 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:23,400 my anti. 909 00:46:23,119 --> 00:46:27,559 Speaker 2: Freese, I'm not. I'm not surprised with your take there. 910 00:46:28,199 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 1: I think that I think from an expectation standpoint, all 911 00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:36,800 three of these teams had you know, seven eight win expectations. 912 00:46:37,039 --> 00:46:42,320 At least, none of them are getting there. And so 913 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:46,239 I think that it's just rocky enough with Stoops that 914 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:47,320 that's the worst one. 915 00:46:48,039 --> 00:46:52,599 Speaker 2: But have no fear to Kentucky fans because. 916 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:57,159 Speaker 1: It is widely expected that they're going after John Summerl 917 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,239 who is a Kentucky alum and previous assistant UH and 918 00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:05,320 the coach of tou Lane. So they're gonna go get 919 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,559 their guy and UH and move on and they'll be 920 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,559 you know he does, They'll be excited, they'll be excited 921 00:47:12,559 --> 00:47:18,000 for next year. Yeah right, Okay, So that that would 922 00:47:18,039 --> 00:47:21,360 be hilarious, to be honest, would be all right? 923 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,400 Speaker 2: I think that just about does it right. Did we did? 924 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:24,480 Speaker 3: We? 925 00:47:24,679 --> 00:47:27,079 Speaker 2: Did we cover everything? Any parting shot? 926 00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:32,880 Speaker 3: Final words horns down. 927 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:34,559 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, there it is. 928 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:39,280 Speaker 1: Welcome to the SEC. This has been it just needs 929 00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:40,239 more football and coffee. 930 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,960 Speaker 2: My name is Rob Williams. He's Craig with Michael.
