Speaker 1: All Star Toyota presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where the.
Speaker 1: Players get broken down and science gets denied.
Speaker 3: I got to come off the bitch.
Speaker 1: Hour two of Off the Bench live from downtown Baton
Rouge starts now.
Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in hour and Oumber two of
OTB live here from Rouse's own Burbank. It is Football Friday,
and our number one we broke down LSU and Old
Mess and we'll continue to talk about that game, obviously,
it being one of the bigger games in the college
football slate coming up this weekend. But your New Orleans
Saints are also up against a tall task, and not
just Josh Allen, but the entire Buffalo Bills roster.
Speaker 2: Josh Allen is tall.
Speaker 3: He's very tall. That's why I said it. And you
got to go on the road to face off against
the Bills. You have also the first three games of
the season, and not only are you an underdog, you
are a fifteen and a half point underdog in this
matchup on the road. ESPN Matchup Predictor gives Buffalo over
an eighty percent chance to win this game. And I'm
gonna be honest with you, I thought it would be
a little bit higher. Six is it sixteen and a
half or fifteen and a half right now it's gone
down to fifteen.
Speaker 2: Okay, a lot of money coming in on the Saints.
I like that.
Speaker 4: So fifteen and a half in the NFL is basically
the equivalent of like.
Speaker 2: A thousand in college.
Speaker 4: So to be eighty percent like that ESPN like the
Odds tracker of wins and losses. How many times have
you sweated out a bet that your team was ninety
nine percent chance to win and he lost?
Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens a lot. So they're pretty quick to
get above ninety percent on that ESPN Odds.
Speaker 4: To win little wheel that they have, So fifteen and
a half points that only eighty percent is shocking. So
what we're trying to tell you, guys is we're saying
there's a chance, not a very good, but a one
in five chants. So you remember the little Giants. I
do remember the pregame speech. Yes one time, Yeah, racing
down bikes down the hill.
Speaker 2: Beat me every time?
Speaker 3: He beat him, but he beat his brother.
Speaker 4: He might be ninety nine out of one hundred times.
But there's always that one time. Yeah, so let's find
it this weekend. All So, what'scrolling through this morning trying to,
you know, catch up on my sports headlines? Yeah, but
I was honestly just trying to figure out like I
was trying to watch the scenes from.
Speaker 2: Beth Page and the Ryder Cup.
Speaker 4: I was trying to see all like the USA chants
and all this stuff, and I'm trying to find Ryder
Cup stuff. And all of a sudden, I see this
press conference with Kellen Moore, yeah, yesterday and being interviewed
and some like someone asked, like there such a dumb
question They're going in and like, hey, so how you feeling.
Speaker 2: Why aren't you starting shuck yet?
Speaker 3: Am I? How are you serious?
Speaker 4: He's got to sit there and answer those questions when
like there's about a billion problems on the team right
now and quarterback ain't one of them. Yeah, and four
games end of the season, you're on the road against
one of the best teams in the NFL.
Speaker 2: Like that's the question you're going to decide to just
pull out of your back pocket?
Speaker 4: And I get it, Like you got this, you know,
shiny new toy that you want to play with.
Speaker 2: I got it, but like you got to take a
look around.
Speaker 4: That is not the issue. Oh yeah, Rattlers new as well.
He's pretty young and playing pretty well. I say pretty
well relatively. I know quarterbacks get judged on their win
loss record, but you also kind of got a grate
on a little bit of a scale right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's in the middle of the pack when it
comes to almost every category that we judge quarterbacks off of.
He's somewhere in the fifteen to seventeen range in most stats.
And so that's good enough quarterback play for you to
go out there and be successful.
Speaker 4: And the pieces around him are not middle of the pack. No,
they are at the bottom of the pack.
Speaker 3: Like, look, I'm not Spencer Ratler's agent. I don't have
anything that I benefit from talking good about Spencer Ratler.
But he's put good stuff on tape. Has he been perfect?
Has he been world changing? No? But he's been good enough,
and you got to start putting things around him. This
is like, we can't hammer it enough. This is not
a quarterback issue team. This is a roster issue in
a lot of places, right. This is an offensive line issue,
without question. Some of the weapons that's certainly and you
brought some weapons in via trade that haven't been on
the field yet. And honestly, let's look at the injuries
for the Saints, okay, because you sign Chase Young to
this big deal and he's got a calf injury and
we were told, oh, it'll be fine, that'll be fine.
It happened during the week. You know, I probably gonna
miss a game, but it'll be okay. Well, where's he
at right now? Like there's no update, there's no change.
You've played three games and you can't find him. All right,
You bring in a receiver from Denver, you bring in
a Trey Palmer from the waiver wire, and he hasn't
been able to get on the field right and he's
had a hamstring like the things that you've tried to
bring in there also, like you got to get him
on the field, Like Chase Young's got to get on
the field. You know, Trey Palmer somebody we talked about,
and you know he's I'm not saying that Trey Palmer's
going to change the math and you're going to be
three and oh, but like you brought him in on
a waiver wire claim for a reason because he could
help your offense out and so that this ain't a
quarterback man, this is there's a lot of.
Speaker 2: Issues right now.
Speaker 4: What happens in these situations when there is a lack
of talent, when you haven't had the success when you start,
oh for a handful of games, it's like, and you
got this quarterback that's new, and you got this shiny
new toy behind it. Like all of the slight imperfections
throughout the course of a game that are natural to happen,
a ball that's a.
Speaker 2: Little bit back shoulder, a little out of reach.
Speaker 4: They get highlighted and they become like notches in people's
belt that are like, oh, we got to make the
change now because look at that one throw he made
was a little bit behind him, or he didn't move
in the pocket, he took a sack right there. It's
these slight imperfections at a game that every quarterback from
Tom Brady to Aaron Rodgers to Drew Brees would make
throughout the course of a game, but they don't get highlighted.
They don't get talked about because there's weapons around you
make there's other people that make plays throughout the game.
So like any slight imperfection that Rattler mits right now
is being just like ultra polarized. But the fact of
the matter is consistently he's doing enough for you to
be relevant and for a team to be able to
at least win some games around you. So I mean,
we'll see, of course, a tall task this week against Buffalo,
who am playing against who I think is the best
the best football player in the National Football League right
now in Josh Allen. But they're not superhuman, They're not unflappable.
You had a team that was, you know, thinking about
firing their coach, and you know, do we bench Tua.
They had a Miami Dolphin team that came in there
and played with me. Yeah, sure, I know that ended
up I think losing by still about ten, but it
wasn't a ten score game the entire time they.
Speaker 2: Stayed with him. So look, take some positive.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's gonna be a tall task to say you're
gonna go up to Buffalo and win this game. But
can you get positives from it even in a loss.
I think you can. I think you certainly can, especially
when you're following week you get to play the Giants.
Get gotta get that one.
Speaker 3: It sounds crazy saying that about a National Football League team.
Speaker 4: But I understand what you're saying, but I'm not looking
for moral victories either.
Speaker 3: The first because the first two weeks I felt like
you got those and then you got House by Seattle. Yeah,
I think Seattle's gonna be a good football team, but
the way that game went, it's like you didn't even
show up, like they could have done some of those
things on air. So like the moral victories, I when
you're a sixteen point fifteen point underdog, I get it.
But at some point, man, this this team's going to
put it together. They got to put more together. Veley's
got to get on the field, Chase Young's got to
get on the field. He's Yeah, this roster isn't good
enough to have guys like that out right now.
Speaker 4: No, it's not good enough at all to have guys
like that. But it makes me I hate trying to
even like talk about or defend a moral victory at all.
Speaker 2: And that's why I like.
Speaker 4: These you know, this time of the year right now,
the way the Saints look like, it's kind of hard
to like talk about these like kind of talk about
in these segments right now, talk about the positives the
outlecs because it is so early, so it's not doomsday
like they could end up. Kellimore said it when he
came on our show. They said, we have to weather
the storm. There's gonna be ups and downs this year,
probably more downs and ups, not his words, my words.
Probably more downs and ups. But it's a long season.
So could they catch a little fire at some point
through a stretch. Who knows. You got to get guys back.
You have to have the people that you discuss. You
have to have them on the field with the pads
on the cleats, a strapped up and play it hard
and like defensively, like the defensive has played hard. So
when you get those guys back into the lineup, you
got to think that they're gonna match that intensity as well.
Speaker 2: So you never know.
Speaker 4: It's really good. It is the National Football League. The
Saints still have professional football players. You know, even our
right guard he's a professional football player.
Speaker 3: So what barely and I'm not gonna say that, I go.
Speaker 2: Say that, probably a great guy.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, things are bad got too.
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know him just calling it
like I see it. As far as to play on
the field, not screw it. Saint's gonna win.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: It is funny like when you look at the tail
of tape, Like right now, Josh Allen only has one
more touchdown pass than Spencer Rattler. Spencer Ratler had more
completions than Josh Allen. Allen has about one hundred and
ten more yards in him through the air, but Alvin
Kamara is about one hundred yards where from more James
Cook is But like Juwan Johnson and your leading receiver
has more yards than Coleman. There leading receiver Granderson has
more sacks by three times, more sacks than anybody on
their team right now. To Mario Davis has more tackles
by double than anybody on their team right now. So
like there's some advantages, same squad pretty much from the
Saints here. But again, like if you don't go out
there and if you don't help out your offense, if
you don't go make a play, that's not that's not perfect, right,
Like a perfect play is Okay, we ran this route
in the right coverage, it's an easy throw and catch
and boom, we can do it. That's that's easy, yep.
But like you gotta start making the ones that are
a little off script. You got to start making the
ones where Spencer sees the safety's coming down a little bit,
he's gonna put it on your back hip and you
got to go make the catch. Our Juwan Johnson that
first game, Hey, there's one place I can throw this
football one and one only, and I'm gonna throw it
there and you got to go up and you got
to go catch it. Those are the plays that aren't easy,
they're not perfect, they're they're off schedule, off script, whatever
you want to call them. That's what the Saints aren't
doing right now. They're not making any of those plays.
Speaker 4: Oh let's just catch the one between the numbers too, Yeah,
it's in the chest, does help?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Help? What do you think they covering up?
Speaker 3: I hate I hate that. That's where we're at right now,
where we're talking about the Saints. Can they cover a
two touchdown spread? But it's it's it's it's a fair
place to be in. When when you watched them last
Sunday against Seattle, Hmmm.
Speaker 4: Well, I'll be watching cause I'm a fan. But what
I want to see is I think we talked about
this and I think everybody, every Saints fan out there
is in agreeance with this, Like we are okay because
of your roster limitations, because of some injuries, because young quarterbacks,
because a new head coach. I think we can live
with just not being as good as a team as
the next person. Maybe like it'd be slight, but like
losing games because of talent, losing games because they've made
they just that team is good and they just went out.
Speaker 2: I think we can live with that.
Speaker 4: What you can't live with is the lack of discipline,
the penalties, the lack of effort. You can't let the
special team's blunders. Giving up a ninety five yard punt
return touchdown and a block punt in the same quarter.
The first quarter they jump out twenty one to nothing
before you can even blink an eye. Those are the
things you can't live with. So we want to see
Kellen Moore. We're trusted in you, we want you.
Speaker 3: To do good.
Speaker 4: We know you're a good offensive mind a head coach.
Show us that you can run a disciplined team, a
disciplined organization. Cut the bs out when it comes to
these penalties, when it comes to the mental errors, when
it comes to put in your offense, who already has
limitations from a talent standpoint, from all from the eleven
guys out there, stop making it first and twenty four
because of lack of effort, because of pre snap issues.
If you do that in Buffalo, you're going to get
run out the building. If you can be more discipline,
maybe you stay in this game.
Speaker 2: You never know.
Speaker 4: I think every NFL team has a puncher's chance, but
not if you give up ninety five punt return touchdowns,
not if you give up block kicks.
Speaker 3: If you give up a punt return for a touchdown,
it's seventy three percent chance that the other team is
going to win the game. Yeah, and when that happens
in a game, seventy three percent, you're not good enough
to overcome that. Right now.
Speaker 4: Have you ever seen as many block kicks as you
did last Sunday? No, I think there was six or seven.
There was throughout the league.
Speaker 3: There was eight either defense or special teams touchdowns last week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 4: And then there was every every clip I was saying,
for every game there was a block field goal, a
block punt punt return for a touchdown. I've never seen so,
I've never seen highlights from an NFL Sunday was so
many blocked field goals. What are these guys doing taller,
longer arms?
Speaker 3: Well, I mean in the Eagles case, yes.
Speaker 4: You would like to say the kickers have bigger legs,
so they're trying for more long distance field goals.
Speaker 3: Range it was like a thirty something.
Speaker 4: So like yeah, exactly, so like if you're kicking a
sixty yard or yeah, you got to start the trajectory.
But I hadn't seen a long field goal blocked. It's
all medium range field goals, like normal. Get the ball up, kicker, dude,
you got one job.
Speaker 3: You do have one job.
Speaker 2: Take it high kicking between the two poles.
Speaker 3: And go hit golf balls while we're practicing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then dap up the holder, make our.
Speaker 3: Miss, dap up the holder. Drive me crazy.
Speaker 4: You know what's driping me crazy? Sweer if Europe doesn't
stop making these putts. Yeah, this is and looking good
right now for USA. Right now, I guys, I'm telling
you Europe is walking in putts all over Beth Page.
Speaker 3: Black right now, Oh, Beth Page Black. That's supposed called.
Speaker 2: I think they're playing the Black Corse.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. What this is a ski mountain.
Speaker 2: So, Beth Page, No, it's not ski colors.
Speaker 3: I didn't know.
Speaker 4: You'll have like these big core like Beth, I like
a lot of courses. They'll have multiple courses within that
and they'll have like the Black course or.
Speaker 2: The Blue course, the Red course, whatever.
Speaker 3: So like a mountain.
Speaker 2: No, not yeah, no, there are some downhill spots and
golf courses, but not not skiable. Do the New Orleans
Saints cover Absolutely, Let's stay on the train.
Speaker 4: I'm not jumping off the bandwagon just because of one
pint return for a touchdown and one block punt.
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you this. If you watch the game
this weekend and they don't fight and they just crumble
and kind of give in to Buffalo being better than us,
that's troublesome. That's when you really got to start to worry.
If you see fight and you see them go out
there and put forth a professional National Football League effort
and they make plays and they're in the game and
win or lose, but they're in the game and they're
doing things that are progressing in the right direction. It's
a great sign for Kellen Moore as a new head
coach because they just got thumped on the road. They're
playing against one of the best teams in the NFL,
and they didn't quit, and they didn't give up, and
they didn't feel sorry for themselves. If you see the
opposite here early in the season, game number four, that's
troublesome because you have a new head coach because you
got thumped on the road against Seattle, because you are
feeling sorry for yourself because you got to go back
across the country the other direction to Buffalo. They're too good,
We're not good enough to play with them, and you
fold and you quit. That is what I'm paying attention
to this weekend for the Saints versus Bills.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's not always an effort thing either, Like
you could come out with the best effort in the world,
but if you have mental mistakes, your.
Speaker 3: Mental effort has to be right there with.
Speaker 4: Your physical AffA and throw pick six or you get
a punt returner kicked off. Like if your mental has
to be there as much as like you could go.
Speaker 2: They might have had the.
Speaker 4: Best energy in the world in the first drive against
the last week, but if things start going your way
are going against you early, that's when you get that
real gut check, that mental check. So stay in it.
Give yourself a puncher's chance in this game. Don't make
the mental mistakes. Be disciplined, man, stop fall, start and
stop doing stupid penalties. Give your quarterback, give your playmakers,
give your defense a chance to make a play.
Speaker 3: All right, we'll continue on Football Friday. Let's get the
vies back up.
Speaker 1: There.
Speaker 2: You go to cut that out six minutes.

the NCAA viewing windows. Okay, and Tayte Alandro, We're gonna
try to get y'all involved here, So I'll ask Matt first.
Y'all can go second, so we can turn us down
and y'all up, because I want to go through all
the viewing windows the college football slate because this is
one of those weekends where it is going to be
very difficult to choose a game. Now, we all know
that we can have the quad box. We all know
that Matt's got a TV like in on will see
it was a Rocky three I think it was Rocky
three that kind of rolls in like a robot its
own wheels, and he can watch another game. We all
know that, but let's act like we're going, God, was
it four?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but got his.
Speaker 3: Bridges kind of you know, started to read his press
clippings a little bit.
Speaker 4: Well, no, he's doing that in three. Yeah, but it
was four when he had with the robot. And then
that's when Apollo, you know, passed away. Yeah, yeah, so
you gotta get back to your roots, rock that's right.
And he you know, had that montage to driving montage
where he had a look inside his soul. Yeah, walk
in and he sat there with Adrienne on the stairs.
Speaker 2: Inside the man. Yeah, why don't you have and then
he signed off power of attorney when he went over there. Yeah,
got his brain beat.
Speaker 3: Then why don't we have montages like that anymore? Eighties
montages were incredible, were incredible.
Speaker 2: I know the way that was incredible. Montage is incredible.
Speaker 4: Sometimes sometimes as a team you need a montage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree.
Speaker 2: I don't want to talk about Saints again, but they
need a montage.
Speaker 3: They need a rocky like you got to have at
least seven or eight moments and blood sport that mind incredible, incredible.
I mean another another person died fighting. Yep, his buddy,
I can't remember his buddy's name. Big gay head band. Yeah,
the guy's in all the Revenge of the Nerds movies.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had a headband. And then I think Jean
Claude wore it on his leg. I think yeah, in
the final fight.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and then didn't he cover his eyes with it?
If I'm not mistaken that boxer, I don't know.
Speaker 2: He didn't cover his eyes with it. He got the
guy played dirty and he had something in his waistband
and crumbled up threw it in his eyes and blinded.
Speaker 3: Got you.
Speaker 4: But early in his training, when he was training to
become a fighter, he used to get goldfish out of
a fountain blindfolded.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 3: Anyways, yeah, all right, So tonight you don't have to
worry about it because every game is going to be
in a different window and it's a great slate tonight,
like it truly is. You've got Florida State going to Virginia.
Virginia's a three and one football team that should be
a four to oh football team. It's a great test
for Florida State. Let's see where they're at. This is
their biggest challenge after Alabama. So right now they are
a six and a half point favorite on the road.
That's a game certainly to pay attention to. That is
a seven pm Eastern time game over on ESPN, nine
pm Eastern Time over at Fox so eight local. Here,
you're gonna have TCU in Arizona State. That is three
and oh TCU three and one Arizona State. Just because
Arizona State lost to Mississippi State, that doesn't mean they
can't go b right where they want to be, which
is a contender in the big twelve with a chance
to make the college football Playoff again. So that's probably
going to be the game of the night. I would
assume you've also got Houston and Oregon State. Oregon State's terrible,
but Houston is three and oh, so that game is
going to be a ten thirty PM Eastern, nine to
thirty local over on ESPN. All right, here's where you
got to start to make some choices. All Right, I'll
give you the early window, and Flynn you'll go, and
then Elandra and Tatay will throw it back to you.
All right, if you had one TV, if this is
before the quad box, and this is before picture and
Picture in the late nineties, maybe early nineties, I don't
really remember. I just remember we never had a set
up on the remote. Let's go number twenty one USC
at number twenty three Illinois. You've got number twenty two
Notre Dame traveling to take on Arkansas. You've got Duke
traveling to take on Syracuse. You've got Louisville traveling to
take on pitt You've got Cincinnati traveling to take on Kansas.
So of those games, if you had one TV, which
game you watching, Matthew?
Speaker 4: It actually didn't bring up the game that I would watch,
which is eleven am Georgia Tech at Wake four.
Speaker 3: I did not. I didn't think you would choose that one.
Speaker 4: Well, Georgia Tech, we're big, Georgia Tech, we are ray.
I'm certainly going to watch them over like a duke game.
I'm not watching note.
Speaker 3: More and a half point favorite on the road against
Syracuse by the way, just letting y'all know that.
Speaker 2: Are you serious? Yes, okay, I'm gonna take that.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 4: Notre Dame ark Saw, I'm not watching that one because
everybody knows I hate Notre Dame. I'll hate you until
you join a conference Arkansas trashy, trashy, trashy defense.
Speaker 3: You can go Georgia Tech Wake if you want to, Will,
I would watch Georgia Tech.
Speaker 4: You got a four note number sixteen Georgia Tech that
I've been really high on. I love watching Hayes King,
I love watching the meat heads play. I mean it's
hard to like to go against the USC like a
top twenty five matchup.
Speaker 3: Outlook, if it's not LSU for me, my second team
would be Georgia Tech.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the one I'm watching.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, I actually love that you chose that game.
All right, let's throw it back to a Laundra and
Tate in that early window, which game y'all watching see.
Speaker 5: I don't hate Georgia Tech, but the Wake Forest aspect
of it is just not going to do it for me.
And on USC versus Illinois at Illinois, I don't know.
I know that's a top twenty five matchup, but I'm
not sure I'm too into that either. I guess, if anything,
I'm gonna go Notre Dame at Arkansas because it is
an SEC team and we're gonna see which of the
two are more ass than the other.
Speaker 2: I'll actually.
Speaker 6: I'll also go a game that Jacob Ester did not mention, like, Yes,
USC Illinois. I want to see if USC is the
real deal. I want to see if Illinois can bounce
back from last week. But I'm actually looking at Vanderbilt
Utah State. Utah State is three and one and they
are currently a twenty three and a half point underdog
in this game. Their only loss is on the road
at Texas A and M, and they scored over twenty
on that an M defense. I think that's gonna be
a lot closer than a lot of people think, so
Vandy Utah State, little little sneaky play there at eleven
forty five.
Speaker 3: All right, hey, that's on the game show host. I've
had too that y'all picked. It weren't in the ones
that are laid out. Okay, I'll give you more games.
Speaker 2: The window ranked teams in the BUD.
Speaker 3: I mean, did I think Vanny and Utah State was
going to make the cut? I did not. Okay, so
to deep cut by Tata. I've got it deep cut.
So in the next window, I'll give you some more options,
some more games. By the way, I would probably go
in that window. I want to see if I want
to see if Illinois can bounce back against USC. I
keep hearing about USC over and off campus, and I'm
kind of tired of it. I'm like, they don't really
played anybody. We'll see Illinois got housed by Indiana. So
i'd probably go to that game. All right, let's go
to the next window. And of course l s u
Ole Miss is not available here in these selections. And
since I got you know, I hated on in the
last window, Arkansas State Louisiana Monroe is the first game
in this show. Here you have Ohio State, number one
team in the count traveling out west to Husky Stadium
to take on Washington. That's kind of an interesting game
in Ohio State right now, only a seven and a
half point favorite, Washington three and zero on this season.
You've got the Auburn Tigers traveling to take on Texas A,
and m Indiana number eleven team in the country traveling
take on the Iowa Hawkeuys. You've got the Baylor Bears
traveling to take on Oklahoma State. That one's intriguing, I
think a little bit because of the Mike Gundy portion
of at first game since they let him go. You've
got Utah traveling to West Virginia that's also in that
same window. And then you've got Tennessee and Mississippi State
a little bit later, but kind of in the same windows.
A three fifteen local time kickover in the SEC network.
So Tennessee traveling to Mississippi State. You've got Utah, West Virginia, Baylor,
Oklahoma State, Indiana, Iowa, Auburn, Texas A, and m Ohio
State Washington.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a very very tricky one for me.
And there's two am eyeballing here. I think the chalk answer.
This one is gonna be the SEC matchup Auburn Texas AM.
I think Auburn's a lot better than people expected. Is
Texas A and M the real deal? They've had some
good wins. Can they keep it up? How good is
Texas A and M?
Speaker 2: So we'll we'll get a good birds I perspected from that.
But oh man, I think I'm gonna choose since I'm
a quarterback. I love for just this week alone, number eleven,
Indiana versus Iowa, because I have not watched Fernando Mendoza
played live on television yet.
Speaker 3: It's just not a game.
Speaker 4: I haven't tuned in to any of the Indiana games.
I want to see what the hype's all about.
Speaker 3: You see me at all last year?
Speaker 4: Cal No, I didn't, so like I really I'm interested
curious at watching this guy play.
Speaker 2: Is he is the hype real? Is he this pro style?
You know?
Speaker 4: Maybe starting to get projected as could be the top
quarterback in the draft this year. I'd like to see
him play first hand, just because for the sheer fact
that I have not tuned in and watched him play yet.
Speaker 5: So Alandre Tte Yeah, I'm gonna go with the chalk answer.
Texas A and M versus Auburn. That was one of
the storylines that I gave in the top three storylines
to watch this weekend. So I'm gonna go ahead and
watch that one. Both of these teams, like, You're gonna
find out a lot about both in this matchup, because
it's either Aggie's are actually maybe good and on a
hot streak or Auburn is gonna continue to be mediocre
and not that great like they were last season along
with Jackson Arnold. So can he bounce back after his
l at Oklahoma? And are the Aggies gonna continue to roll?
Speaker 6: Okay, I'll go the number one team in the country,
the Ohs Bucks on the road at Husky Stadium. Look,
I've been high on Julian saying really since last year.
I think the guy's really talented. But Demon Williams at
Washington he was the talk of the Manning and pant
Academy down here in Thibadeau. I believe he won the
MVP of that Manning Passing Academy. They rolled against Washington
State a week ago. I mean, that's a three and
zero football team. Washington's a tough place.
Speaker 2: To play. I really like that matchup, all right, I.
Speaker 3: Like that one. He was I believe the MVP by
the way of that Manning passing academy thic gear spot
on there, Tata, he had a big day. He can
do it with his arm, with his legs as well.
So high to state there's a reason why that line
is only a little bit over a touchdown, I probably
go as much as I want to watch that one,
I probably would go with the laundr and go alburn
In Texas A and M. I think this is a
great kind of meter four. Is A and M going
to be really good? Are they going to be in
the playoff? Conversation? Like in I think this is a
game because Auburn last week, I mean they got screwed
on a couple of bad calls or they probably win
the game against Oklahoma, so I think they're a good
football team too. So I think it's a great has
to see where Texas A and M is. But it's
a great window, a lot of great games, a lot
that I would choose from, and thank god we do
have the quad box. All right, let's go to the
primetime window. We'll start off with Arizona and Iowa State
before you're like, wait, White thrown that one in there.
Arizona's undefeated, Arizona's three and zero, and they're hydrated, very hydrated.
Speaker 2: The traveling they're.
Speaker 3: Traveling to take on Iowa State. That game is going
to be in Ames and Iowa State right now, number
fourteen team in the country. So that's certainly one to
pay attention to. All Right, what about Oregon and Penn
State a wide out number six versus number three. You've
got number seventeen Alabama traveling to Athens to take on
number five Georgia as well. That's going to be a
big game. Also in the group of six conversations, you've
got Appalachian State traveling to Boise State. In the SEC
you've got Kentucky traveling to South Carolina. So Kentucky, South Carolina,
Appalachian State and Boise State. You've got Alabama, Georgia, Oregon
and Penn State. You've got Arizona, Iowa State.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and just a little.
Speaker 4: Side note here, if you want to take a a
prime time hydration parlay, here's your pick. You're gonna go
parlay Oregon, Georgia, Arizona, money line, all of them right there,
that's that's your hydration parlay right there. But the game
that I'm watching is I mean, this is a this
is this is an elite quadbox situation Saturday night for sure.
I mean I could try to church it up and
go Oregon, Pens State or arizonah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: But it's Alabama Georgia. Guys.
Speaker 4: It's uh, seventeen versus five? Who is Alabama?
Speaker 2: Really? Does does de Bower?
Speaker 3: Does he.
Speaker 4: Get a big time win big time SEC wins at
the bor de Bower?
Speaker 3: It's oh, I thought you're making a joke. Now it's hello,
you're making a joke.
Speaker 4: Well, you know, I always think of like I want
to have people on my head sand to Boer, Yeah,
you know, like Boo Well.
Speaker 3: Got somebody is it mad or Haunter or Marla called
him something else? That's not his name. It's a joke
off an old Alabima.
Speaker 2: I sound like a lot of people mispronounce his name
on purpose.
Speaker 3: Really, That's what I'm saying. The brain you know, they
come to Bow's because they had to coach it out.
But it's it's not it's not important. Kenda Boor that's
his name.
Speaker 4: Can he get a big time, big Times signature win
in the SEC on the road in Georgia. Kirby Smart,
we know, we don't need to even talk about it.
He's a great coach, George Alabama. There is no explanation necessary.
What a great matchup. We're really looking forward to watching that.
Ty Simpson is he is he?
Speaker 2: See?
Speaker 4: The guy I don't know is Gunner Stockton? Can he
continue to play and play within the system and make one, two,
three check down reads?
Speaker 2: Can he do that?
Speaker 4: He's shown flashes of it, certainly, so very intriguing match up.
Speaker 2: There a lot of good storylines coming out of that game.
Speaker 3: All right, Blank's face, Vila, rew what you got?
Speaker 5: I'm going to go with the easy answer here and
go top five or I guess it's not time fun
top ten matchup Penn State and Oregon. I mean, I
haven't really watched a lot of Oregon this season, and
I kind of wanted to watch them beat up on
Penn State and hope that they do. So I'm gonna
go Penn State Oregon for my primetime matchup that I'm
gonna watch. I already told joll yesterday that I'm not
very intrigued by Alabama so not really into it.
Speaker 2: Both of these are great games.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go Alabama Georgia only because that was the
game of the year in college football A year ago.
I realized both of these teams are very different. But
I mean, if you remember Alabama's dominating Georgia takes the
lead late only to have their heart ripped out by
Ryan Williams.
Speaker 2: I want to see who Ty Simpson is.
Speaker 6: Is he the guy that really struggled against Florida State
or is he the guy that's thrown five incompletions the
last two weeks combined, albeit against lower competition, And can
Gunner stock and take that next step? I think there's
question marks about both teams, but that's the answer for me,
all right.
Speaker 3: I think I'm going to go with a launder on
this one, and in Landra, I'm also with you, like
I don't know why I cannot get the juices flowing
for Alabama Georgia like I normally could. I don't know
what it is. Is it because Florida State beat up
on Alabama? I have no idea. I don't know why.
Maybe I'm just fatigued in that matchup. I don't know,
but I am all over Oregon and Penn State. And
I kind of the same as you, like, Penn State's
not played a power for team yet and I kind
of want them.
Speaker 2: To have to.
Speaker 3: Get exposed a little bit because of that, because I
don't think that's good for your team. And even though Oregon,
you know, housed Oklahoma State, like when they scheduled that game,
Oklahoma State was competing for the Big Twelve, like they
were that kind of team, and so they beat them
sixty nine to three. But at least they had Oklahoma State.
They had Oregon State on the schedule as well, that
was a rival. They didn't know the package was going
to break up. At least they had those games and
they played a conference game. They've played Northwestern. So for me,
I think Oregon is more battle tested than I actually
think Oregon has a lot of success in that game,
even though it's a wide out and Happy Valley.
Speaker 4: So that's the game for me, not hard to be
more battle tested than Penn State to date. So it's
it's going to be a lot of questions answered in
that game. And yeah, you know, Oregon didn't know that.
Speaker 2: You know, a week later, Mike Gundy would be fired
after a big time Tulsa matchup.
Speaker 3: So yeah, both these guys.
Speaker 2: Neither one of these teams I think have been real tested.
But we'll see.
Speaker 4: And it's kind of hard for me to still wrap
my head around Penn State organ me in a big
time Big ten matchup.
Speaker 3: Well yeah, it's exactly what it is. It's exactly what
it is. So I'm looking forward to all those games. Man,
it's a great, great weekend of college footble. All right,
we're long for break. We'll take that break now, more

Speaker 1: Com blocked in on LSU football twenty four to seven.
You're listening to Off the.
Speaker 3: Bench, all right, Welcome back in OTV here live from
Rouses on a football Friday. Someone earlier in the chat
was asking about some of the former LSU Tigers that
are now playing for the Old Miss Rebels, and they
were asking for some pro football focused grades on those players.
I did pull up Sage Ryan, who played for l
SU for a very very long time. He did transfer
to Ole Miss in this offseason and right now he
is their starter. We played some tape of him yesterday.
Speaker 2: Hey, let's say, if you're watching listeners, what is this coverage? Man?
Speaker 3: Cover one?
Speaker 2: Number one man a man be able to look out
for those detailed hidden signals.
Speaker 3: His overall defensive grade right now is sixty. His grade
in the running game as far as a undefender is
thirty eight in you remembered that is crazy your your
mind can remember which button?
Speaker 1: Though?
Speaker 3: How did you get lucky?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, that one okay.
Speaker 3: Good as a rusher because he is going to come
off the edge sometimes it's just a fifty eight point nine.
And then in coverage has actually been pretty good. He's
got a seventy point seven grade in coverage and had
a really good day against Arkansas or and coverage where
he graded out at seventy seven point one. So overall
as a defender he is a sixty point six in
the first game against Georgia State, sixty one point nine,
in the second game against Kentucky fifty eight point one,
against Arkansas sixty six point one, and last week against
two Lane fifty five point seven. So that is the
upgraded grades for Saydrian, former LSU defender now starting at
safety four Ole miss Well, you don't dude, you do
not have to push the button that hard.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, right, we got to try to follome
up on those buttons.

make it louder. You just look.

Cup before we get out of here in this hour.
Speaker 4: Well it's been at about it's been an hour and
fifty four minutes of frustration at the Ryder Cup. Right, No, good, good,
yes'm playing great. We're only up in one match. We're
down on three matches, down four down, four down two.
So it's not looking great now, down four down, four down,
four holes in two of the matchups. But a lot
of golf left to be played, no reason to panic.
But we do need Patrick Cantley and Xander Shoffle, who
are up one in their matchup. That's gonna might become
a pretty crucial point. They got to hold onto that
and hopefully d Chambeau and Justin Thomas. They're down too
right now with six to play, maybe they can get
back and get a half on that.
Speaker 2: So we'll see. But again, you're explained about as well
as they can.
Speaker 4: They are rolling in putts from everywhere on the Green USA.
They're just not falling just yet.
Speaker 3: But just wait, I think you need Bryson to I mean,
because they get the two hole lead that the four
feels like it's out of reach their coach, the four
is looking great, not looking great, but you can you
can start getting some momentum. Maybe scratch back a couple
of those, maybe lose by one or two maybe on those,
and get a little bit of momentum to take into
the afternoon. Uh okay, go team USA, but play better
