1 00:00:08,839 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: What is up, Texas college football fans. I'm IndyCar Tim 2 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,960 your host for Pigskin and burn Ins, your Texas college 3 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,920 football podcast, coming at you live from the fan Stream 4 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:24,879 Sports Studios in North Dallas.

You had 9 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:48,159 the Aggies ending Brian Kelly, it didn't come soon enough. 10 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,759 Down at LSU. You had the SMU Mustangs losing their 11 00:00:52,799 --> 00:00:57,880 first ever regular season ACC matchup to a very unlikely 12 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:05,439 opponent in my opinion, lead. You had TCU edging one 13 00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:09,719 out against somebody that they probably should have handled a 14 00:01:09,719 --> 00:01:13,959 little bit easier. In West Virginia, you had the Texas 15 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,280 Tech Red Raiders that continue to roll. After that hiccup 16 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,760 against Arizona State. They're back on track, and really all 17 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,840 we're wondering is when's Barren coming back. You had the 18 00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:30,760 Longhorns in the game that might have ended arts manning 19 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:38,079 for a minute squeaking past the Mississippi State Bulldogs there 20 00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:41,879 in Starkville in a another game on the calendar they 21 00:01:41,879 --> 00:01:44,120 should have lost, and yet somehow they find a way 22 00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:48,719 and then add it all up.

So look, let's just start with 58 00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:59,120 the biggest game of the week, the most impressive. You know, 59 00:04:00,439 --> 00:04:03,759 we're talking Aggies. By the way, can't tell as I 60 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,439 get flustered talking about my Aggies, because I'm just waiting 61 00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:13,000 for the for the glass slipper to fall off of 62 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,360 this thing. And every week they win and they get 63 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,959 it done in convincing fashion. And now I'm wondering if 64 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000 those glass if one of those glass slippers, is ever 65 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,879 going to fall off, because I thought the Notre Dame 66 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,000 win was the most impressive win, and it was at 67 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,360 the time, But I think what you did going into 68 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:39,000 Death Valley and back to All Rouge on Saturday qualifies 69 00:04:39,079 --> 00:04:41,199 for the biggest win of the year now for the Aggies. 70 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,920 And I don't know, maybe every win that you get 71 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,480 the rest of the year is the biggest win for 72 00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:47,920 the Aggies. But you go into a place you hadn't 73 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:54,560 won at in a while, by the way, and you 74 00:04:54,759 --> 00:04:58,519 lead your team to not just a victory over the 75 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,000 twenty ranked LSU Tigers and Brian Kelly, you finish off 76 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,120 the game, you take the second half by the Horns, 77 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,160 and you end any and all willingness to play the 78 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:20,720 game for the Tigers players. Poor Garrett Nessmeyer loved the dude, 79 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,120 familiar with his dad Doug and his time with the Cowboys, 80 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:31,319 but dude. He he got beat up on Saturday, and 81 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,319 I think that's a microcosm of the entire Tigers team. 82 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,959 What the Aggie's defensive line was able to do to 83 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,279 the line of scrimmage. To Garrett Neussmeier, just take away 84 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:49,199 all willingness to live from the Tigers players. You emptied 85 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,839 the stadium. I've been watching LSU football for a long time, 86 00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:57,519 and I don't especially night game. I can't remember anytime 87 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:03,040 that the stadium has emptied out so fast. By the 88 00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:06,199 start of the fourth quarter, that thing was barren. It 89 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,759 was Aggie's fans all the way around. Of course, they'd 90 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,120 moved up to the lower level seating, They've moved up 91 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:17,279 behind the benches, and there wasn't an usher in sight 92 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,160 that was gonna say anything to any of them. And 93 00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,480 boys and girls, that was a site to behold. And 94 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:31,279 you could just tell that that wasn't gonna sit well 95 00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:36,439 with the boosters, with the program. And it didn't take 96 00:06:36,519 --> 00:06:40,680 long until Brian Kelly was given his walking papers. Look, 97 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:44,000 I don't like to see guys get fired. I've never 98 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,399 understood the Brian Kelly higher at LSU. I never got 99 00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:52,160 it why he left Notre Dame to take that job. 100 00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:55,240 He is not a Southern boy. He is not. He doesn't. 101 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,279 I never thought he'd fit in to the mold of 102 00:06:58,319 --> 00:07:02,839 an SEC coach. Ever, and you know, he leaves Notre Dame. 103 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,480 Marcus Freeman comes in and turns that turns his roster 104 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:12,720 basically into a contender. Brian Kelly comes to an established 105 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:18,079 program at LSU and he doesn't improve it. He might 106 00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:20,720 have maintained it, but I don't think he ever improved 107 00:07:20,759 --> 00:07:23,839 that thing oh to two in the College Football Playoff 108 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,879 after going eleven and four in the D two Playoffs 109 00:07:26,959 --> 00:07:31,800 where he cut his teeth there with Cincinnati. But yeah, 110 00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:34,240 I just never got the move. And now it's over 111 00:07:34,319 --> 00:07:39,399 thanks to Marcel Reed and the Aggies, thanks to Mike 112 00:07:39,519 --> 00:07:43,480 Elko his game planning on both sides of the ball. 113 00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:48,199 And it was just it was a sight to behold 114 00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:51,519 for the now eight and O Texas A and m Aggies, 115 00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:55,000 who were after their best start since nineteen ninety two 116 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,000 when they went twelve and oh before losing the Notre 117 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,079 Dame in the Cotton Bowl. Remember it well, I was 118 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:06,399 there with my dad with my pops watching the Aggies lose. God, 119 00:08:06,399 --> 00:08:09,040 that was a good punch too for that season for sure. 120 00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:15,639 But you know, Read, I don't consider Marcel Reid a 121 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,279 Heisman candidate. He's finally showing up on some of the 122 00:08:19,279 --> 00:08:23,959 odds pretty high up. I just don't consider Marcel Read 123 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:30,879 a Heisman candidate for any other reason than he plays 124 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,440 for the Aggies. Yes, and I know John David Crowe, 125 00:08:33,759 --> 00:08:38,120 I know Johnny Manziel, I get it. I just don't 126 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,039 think he's done enough to set himself apart. You know, 127 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:44,480 when Johnny Manziel won it back in twenty twelve, there 128 00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:46,559 was no question he was gonna win it. There was 129 00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:50,360 nobody that was close Marcel. There's a lot of competition 130 00:08:50,399 --> 00:08:53,919 for the Heisman this year, and I don't think that 131 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,519 Marcel Reid is doing anything to set himself apart. Now, 132 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,879 if the Aggi's running the table and win a Natty, 133 00:09:00,519 --> 00:09:03,240 you know, I don't know, or you know, the voting 134 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,000 will be before that, but you know, if they get close, 135 00:09:07,039 --> 00:09:09,279 I mean maybe, I just I don't see it happening 136 00:09:09,799 --> 00:09:13,480 from Marcel Read this season as a sophomore, but he 137 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,759 passed for two touchdowns and ran for two more scores 138 00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:20,080 and turned a very slim halftime deficit into a forty 139 00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:25,200 nine to twenty five victory. On Saturday, Casey Concepcion caught 140 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,639 one of Reid's touchdown tosses and returned to third quarter 141 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,279 punts seventy nine yards for another score to put the 142 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,120 game away. They snapped a six game skid at Tiger Stadium, 143 00:09:36,159 --> 00:09:38,600 winning there for the first time since nineteen ninety four, 144 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,320 back when forty eight year old Mike Elko said he 145 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,200 was starting at point guard for his high school basketball team. 146 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,000 Was the last time the Aggies won at Tiger Stadium 147 00:09:54,080 --> 00:10:01,080 in bat ball rouge, and he had a heartfelt Yet, man, 148 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,440 I don't know direct message for the team at halftime, 149 00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:09,240 because watching the watching the game, something changed at halftime. 150 00:10:09,399 --> 00:10:11,960 You could tell by the way they came out playing, 151 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,360 by the way they just dominated in the second half. 152 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,159 And I was thinking, to my football brain, what did 153 00:10:21,159 --> 00:10:26,960 Mike Elco tell this this team? And he came out 154 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,639 after the game he said he told them, quote, you 155 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,720 are the better team, and if you don't play better football, 156 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,320 you're going to let one slip away end quote. And man, 157 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:40,399 that is all the team needed to hear. That message 158 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,120 hit home and because of it, they're where they are now. 159 00:10:43,799 --> 00:10:46,360 Brian Kelly's out of work. Don't know how long that'll be. 160 00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:49,440 Reid goes for two hundred and two yards and rushed 161 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,519 for another one hundred and eight, highlighted by his forty 162 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:56,360 one yard touchdown scramble, as he continues to build a 163 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:01,480 case for his Heisman Trophy consideration. His other touchdown pass 164 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,200 was a short flip to Jamerian Morrow, who covered most 165 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,639 of the plays twenty four yards after the catch. Marrow 166 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,159 added an eleven yard touchdown on the ground in the 167 00:11:10,159 --> 00:11:15,360 fourth quarter. Garrett Nussmeier, who said no to the twenty 168 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:19,840 twenty five NFL Draft to return to LSU, saw his 169 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:26,399 highly anticipated senior season season just continued to fold and crumble. 170 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,360 He threw for one hundred and sixty eight yards. He 171 00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:32,519 had a short TD pass to Green, but he was 172 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,039 sacked five times and he was pulled from the game 173 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,960 with six minutes and two seconds left. Just beaten and battered. 174 00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,000 LSU let it at halftime eighteen to fourteen. But special 175 00:11:45,039 --> 00:11:51,279 teams plays defense just dominated the second half for the Aggies. 176 00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:55,879 Once again, you had an Aggies blocked punt. This was 177 00:11:55,919 --> 00:11:57,919 not returned for a touchdown, but it was out of 178 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,360 the back of the end zone for a safety. Looked 179 00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:04,000 like another one of these, like, holy crap, here we go. Aggis. 180 00:12:04,039 --> 00:12:06,799 Of course you had the early blocked punt for a 181 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,679 touchdown against Notre Dame that you overcame and they overcame 182 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:15,440 this one. Uh, just just an all around effort, man. 183 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,159 And like I said, I've said this before, if you 184 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:18,840 guys listened to this show or you've listened to my 185 00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:21,879 Texas A and m Aggies Daily blitzet fanstreamsports dot com, 186 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:27,440 this team's different. And these are the games that the 187 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:33,919 Aggies found ways to lose the game against Mississippi State. 188 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,759 Those are the games that they found ways to lose 189 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:40,480 under the old regime, under all the old regimes, going 190 00:12:40,519 --> 00:12:45,080 back to r C. And the culture is different. How 191 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,679 many times did you hear if you watch the game, 192 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:51,039 how many times did you hear the broadcasters talk about 193 00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:54,600 Aggie culture, the culture of this team. There was six 194 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,759 minutes left. The game was not in question. The Aggies 195 00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:01,799 had put this one one away. Yet there was no 196 00:13:02,279 --> 00:13:05,080 celebrating on the sideline. There were no guys high five 197 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,120 and smiling looking around taking in the moment. Nope, the 198 00:13:08,159 --> 00:13:10,840 game was still going on and they were still working. 199 00:13:10,879 --> 00:13:15,600 They were still looking at at the game photos they 200 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,720 were they still had coaches in their ears and they 201 00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:23,159 were listening intently. There was nobody that quit because they 202 00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:26,559 were up big. That is the difference in this Aggie's 203 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:36,080 culture from that of Jimbo, from that of someone going 204 00:13:36,159 --> 00:13:41,039 back to the damn Dennis Francioni days, and that that's 205 00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:44,120 why it's different, Like you're not an Aggie's fan. I 206 00:13:44,159 --> 00:13:47,879 apologize for spending so much time, but I thought I 207 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,200 thought it was the most notable game of the week. 208 00:13:50,279 --> 00:13:54,279 Here as Brian Kelly is looking for work there in 209 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,039 the SEC or wherever he's gonna go, who knows where 210 00:13:57,039 --> 00:14:00,879 he'll go. He with his fifty three million dollar buyout, 211 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,120 whatever it was, he doesn't have to work for a while. 212 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,159 Him and Jimbo Fisher may go fishing together or something. 213 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,679 I don't know. We'll see. Congratulations to the AGUS though 214 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,679 still number three in the country, eight to oh five 215 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,679 and oh the in the conference. And it looks like 216 00:14:15,759 --> 00:14:18,320 a collision course for Old Miss and Texas A and 217 00:14:18,399 --> 00:14:22,480 M and the SEC championship game if things remain as 218 00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:25,639 they are, with both teams playing very very well right 219 00:14:25,679 --> 00:14:29,960 now this late in the season. Now, let's move on 220 00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:35,080 to gotta do our woofh sound. Let's move on to 221 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:41,000 the Texas long Horns, the number twenty two Texas long Horns, 222 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:47,879 as once again they underperform to a subpar opponent. Nothing 223 00:14:47,919 --> 00:14:50,600 against Mississippi State, but they shouldn't be on the same 224 00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:54,480 level as the long Horns. Even though they're at home. 225 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,000 They're winless in the SEC. They were barely a game 226 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:02,559 over five hundred heading into this matchup, and you really 227 00:15:02,559 --> 00:15:06,720 had no hope unless they could take advantage of a 228 00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:12,840 bad Longhorns offense. That was not to be the case. 229 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,240 That the Longhorns had every every reason to go in 230 00:15:16,279 --> 00:15:20,720 and lose this game. You go into the fourth quarter, 231 00:15:20,799 --> 00:15:23,440 you're the Longhorns, you are down thirty one to fourteen, 232 00:15:23,519 --> 00:15:29,519 and you have done nothing to give anybody any reason 233 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,919 to think you were going to come back and win 234 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,600 this game, or that you should have come back and 235 00:15:33,639 --> 00:15:38,519 win this game. It was it was nowhere to be found. 236 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,240 You look like LSU in the second half against the Aggies, 237 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,960 in the first half against the Bulldogs, you had nothing 238 00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:52,120 going for you. Then you get Ryan Niblett's seventy nine 239 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,679 yard punt return to tie the game with just one 240 00:15:55,799 --> 00:16:02,000 forty seven as the Longhorns erase that deafist it Matthew 241 00:16:02,039 --> 00:16:05,320 called Well end up going to overtime. Matthew Caldwell throws 242 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,720 that touchdown pass to Emmitt Moseley after Arch was knocked 243 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,559 out of the game with an apparent injury as the 244 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,559 Longhorns come roaring back to beat the Bulldogs. And I 245 00:16:15,559 --> 00:16:19,759 don't know, I don't know which team looked worse, the 246 00:16:19,759 --> 00:16:25,679 first half Longhorns or the second half Bulldogs, but it 247 00:16:25,759 --> 00:16:29,919 was a display of futility for both programs at some 248 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:35,840 at whatever point during the game. The Longhorns were still 249 00:16:35,879 --> 00:16:38,120 down thirty eight to twenty one with twelve twenty nine 250 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,679 left in the game, Booth had that sixty two yard 251 00:16:41,679 --> 00:16:45,480 catch and run for a touchdown for Mississippi State. Then 252 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,679 you get a twenty one yard touchdown pass from Manning 253 00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:50,159 to Moseley with nine to thirty four left, Mason Shipley's 254 00:16:50,159 --> 00:16:52,440 twenty six yard field goal in the final five minutes 255 00:16:52,919 --> 00:16:55,480 to get to within a touchdown for the Longhorns. Manning 256 00:16:55,639 --> 00:16:58,200 ended twenty nine to forty six for three hundred and 257 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,480 forty six yard Yeah, twenty nine four six for three 258 00:17:00,559 --> 00:17:03,240 hundred and forty six yards free touchdowns, one pick. He 259 00:17:03,279 --> 00:17:06,000 also had a rushing touchdown before leaving early in overtime. 260 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,720 The Bulldogs Blake Shapin, the old Baylor quarterback, had a 261 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,279 career game. He finished twenty six to forty two for 262 00:17:14,319 --> 00:17:16,599 three hundred and eighty one yards and four touchdowns, but 263 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,559 it was not enough to end what is now a 264 00:17:19,599 --> 00:17:22,519 sixteen game SEC losing streak for the Bulldogs, twelve of 265 00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:28,039 which have come under Jeff Levy's leadership. Mississippi State will 266 00:17:28,039 --> 00:17:32,319 get things figured out. That's It's a situation where I 267 00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:36,200 think they've got talent. I like Jeff Levy. You gotta 268 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,279 get that first SEC win, right. You got to stop 269 00:17:39,319 --> 00:17:42,079 the streak and then I think wins will come in 270 00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:44,200 bunches for them. Texas did finish with four hundred and 271 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:47,920 twenty eight yards of offense. The Bulldogs had five sacks 272 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,160 twelve tackles for loss, but for the Longhorns, they had 273 00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:55,480 seven on shape and he was dropped four times in 274 00:17:55,519 --> 00:18:00,000 the final minutes of regulation and overtime. Look, the long 275 00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,119 Horns were dead in the water, but continue to find 276 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,839 ways to win despite not playing up to their potential. 277 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:11,359 I still believe the offense is broken. Arch Manning had 278 00:18:11,559 --> 00:18:17,720 again flashes signs, but I still don't have confidence in him, 279 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,920 and now he's he's injured, I haven't seen an update. 280 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,799 I probably should have looked for it for you guys, 281 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,559 but you can look for that on the Texas Longhorns 282 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,880 Daily Blitz at fanscreensports dot com. We'll have that for you, 283 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,599 probably out on Wednesday or Thursday this week for an 284 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:36,839 update on Arch's condition and his injury. But man, somehow, 285 00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:41,119 some way, the Texas Longhorns find a way to stay 286 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,799 in the hunt. Because you lose to Mississippi State and 287 00:18:45,839 --> 00:18:49,039 you are out of the college football playoff hopes, those 288 00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:52,960 are dead for you, very very dead, and you know 289 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:58,279 what they may still be because your schedule the rest 290 00:18:58,279 --> 00:19:03,200 of the way is not super are favorable for the 291 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:07,240 Longhorns to make a deep playoff run or even a 292 00:19:07,279 --> 00:19:16,079 playoff appearance, because you've still got number nine Vandy at 293 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,119 home coming up this week. Then you've got to travel 294 00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:26,599 to Georgia based on those number five Bulldogs. You've got Arkansas, 295 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,640 which you're better than, but how will you play that 296 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,680 one's at home as well in Austin. And then of 297 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:38,920 course you host the Aggies after Thanksgiving to close out 298 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:43,359 the regular season schedule, the Longhorns have every opportunity to 299 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:49,720 lose what three of those four games, at least two 300 00:19:49,759 --> 00:19:52,440 of those four games. You lose one more of these things. 301 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:54,880 With three losses, you are out of the playoff picture. 302 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,640 And you again, you might already be anyway, but we 303 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:03,119 will see, we will see. But man, kudos to the Longhorns. 304 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,759 They keep finding ways to do it despite their offense, 305 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:11,519 despite their offensive line, despite Arch Manning struggling. So we 306 00:20:11,559 --> 00:20:17,160 will see somebody who was not struggling. As we transition 307 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,519 once again, those Texas Tech Red Raiders, the number fourteen 308 00:20:21,599 --> 00:20:25,039 Texas Tech Red Raiders. You come back from that hiccup 309 00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:28,440 against Arizona State, and you wonder what this thing would 310 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,359 be like right now had you taken care of those 311 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:37,519 sun devils forty two to nothing over the Oklahoma State Cowboys. 312 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:39,960 The Cowboys now following one and seven, they're winless in 313 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,880 the Big Twelve. The Red Raiders, of course, improved a 314 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,759 seven and one, four and one in the Big Twelve, 315 00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:48,359 and they've got a They're on a collision course I 316 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,720 think with BYU for the Big Twelve title game. We'll 317 00:20:51,759 --> 00:20:54,720 see how things finish out here. Towards the end of 318 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:58,039 the season. But you know, Houston might have something to 319 00:20:58,039 --> 00:21:00,400 say about that. Cincinnati might have something to say about that. 320 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,000 But we'll see how this thing progresses. Jacoby Williams returned 321 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,400 the opening kickoff ninety nine yards for a touchdown and 322 00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,519 took a short past twenty six yards for a score 323 00:21:10,599 --> 00:21:14,559 on Tech's first play. It jump started the Red Raiders 324 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:19,759 to that forty two to nothing victory at home. Jacob 325 00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:22,720 Rodriguez returned to fumble sixty nine yards for a touchdown 326 00:21:24,039 --> 00:21:29,000 as Tech bounces back from the disappointment at Arizona State. 327 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,480 That loss to the Sun Devils, of course, dropped the 328 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,480 Red Raiders out of the top ten, as it should have. 329 00:21:39,039 --> 00:21:42,200 They will climb. They're back at fourteen now. It was 330 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:47,160 Texas Tech's first home Big twelve shutout since two thousand 331 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:49,799 and five, when they beaten Baylor twenty eight to nothing. 332 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,640 Once again, you had a weather to lay out in 333 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,880 Lubbock thirty minutes to start the game. William's return came 334 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,519 on the first kickoff since school officials banned the years 335 00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:07,240 long for day of fans throwing tortillas on kickoffs, and look, 336 00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:11,599 I will give my I will give my thoughts on this. 337 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,039 I did not go to Tech. I do have family 338 00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:19,559 ties to Tech. I love Tech clearly my favorite Big 339 00:22:19,599 --> 00:22:26,319 twelve team, and I don't I understand this band. I 340 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:32,440 I completely understand it, but I don't like it. You 341 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,960 know that that's one of the things that sets College 342 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,880 out of from the pros, right you, things like this, 343 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,000 Traditions like this. You've got the cow bells in Starkville, 344 00:22:43,319 --> 00:22:46,880 You've got the twelfth Man in College Station, You've got 345 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,960 the tortillas in Lubbock. And again, I get it from 346 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,440 a safety standpoint, I get it, but I don't like it. 347 00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:00,920 I didn't like the Big Twelve band to horns down 348 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,119 back in the day. Good Lord, that was the stupidest 349 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,400 thing I've ever heard in my life, next to banning tortillas. 350 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,920 But again, I get it. Things are not the same, 351 00:23:11,839 --> 00:23:14,160 and you know what, we'll come up with something else. 352 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:17,759 The Red Raiders have been penalized twice on kickoffs in 353 00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:20,920 their previous home game for things being thrown onto the 354 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,440 field in violation of a new Big twelve rule that 355 00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:28,799 was that came out in August. There I didn't see 356 00:23:28,799 --> 00:23:32,880 any tortillas on that play or for the rest of 357 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:39,559 the game. But we'll see, we'll see. You know again, 358 00:23:39,599 --> 00:23:43,119 it's a safety thing. I get it, but I don't 359 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,039 like it. Texas Tech blocked to punt on the first 360 00:23:46,039 --> 00:23:48,519 possession for the Cowboys, leading to Williams TD catch on 361 00:23:48,559 --> 00:23:51,000 the screen from will Hammond, who started a second consecutive 362 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,680 game in place with the injured Baron Morton. Third stringer 363 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,319 Mitch Griffiths replaced Hammond in the second quarter after Hammond 364 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,359 sustained what McGuire said later was a knee injury without contact. 365 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,880 Gurn runn. You hate to see or hear about the 366 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,319 non contact knee injuries. I've sustained well, a couple of those, 367 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:12,039 a couple of them with contact as well, and you 368 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,960 never like to see those. Morton changed from street clothes 369 00:24:16,039 --> 00:24:18,359 to his uniform at halftime with the Red Raiders leaguing 370 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,440 twenty eight to nothing. He would have been if Griffiths 371 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,440 had gone down, you would have had to see Baron Morton, 372 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,599 but he didn't have to get his uniform dirty. Griffith 373 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,400 threw a touchdown pass and ran for a score in 374 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,119 the third quarter, and man, how deep is this quarterback 375 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,279 room for the Red Raiders. It's incredible McGuire said Morton 376 00:24:35,319 --> 00:24:37,559 could have started against the Cowboys, but the decision was 377 00:24:37,559 --> 00:24:40,240 made for another week of healing. He said Morton hyper 378 00:24:40,279 --> 00:24:42,359 extended his right knee and the opener and aggravated the 379 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,039 injury against the Jayhawks back on October eleventh. McGuire said 380 00:24:46,079 --> 00:24:48,799 he felt good with Will and Mitch. They wanted to 381 00:24:48,799 --> 00:24:50,759 get Morton another week of rest to get him as 382 00:24:50,759 --> 00:24:53,240 healthy as they can for the closing stretch of the 383 00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:55,640 season here. But if something crazy was gonna happen to 384 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,400 Mitch and it was going to be a competitive game, 385 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,920 they would have been able to put Morton in. Oklahoma 386 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,920 State was limited to one hundred and eighty two yards 387 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,279 in a seventh consecutive loss. Since beating lower division Tennessee 388 00:25:06,279 --> 00:25:10,039 Barton in the opener, the Cowboys have three shutout losses 389 00:25:10,039 --> 00:25:12,960 of at least forty two points since twenty twenty two. 390 00:25:13,039 --> 00:25:16,119 Jacob rodrieg is eleventh career fumble recovery that is second 391 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,880 among active F ANDBS players. Never touched the ground. He 392 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,359 ripped the ball out of the arms of the offensive 393 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,160 player in the middle of the line of scrimmage and 394 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,559 ran untouched for the score. It was a thing of 395 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,519 beauty that you are seeing more and more of these days. 396 00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:35,599 I think at all levels, guys just can't hang on 397 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:38,359 to the ball even when you're holding it. It's crazy thing. 398 00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:42,359 Griffiths kept Morton on the bench by leading a scoring 399 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,640 drive for a thirty five or zhering lead on Tech's 400 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,039 first possession of the second half. He lost three yards 401 00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:49,799 on a fourth and one keeper on his first play 402 00:25:49,839 --> 00:25:54,000 after replacing Hammond, but his full first possession with the 403 00:25:54,039 --> 00:25:56,079 team ended up being a punt. But we know how 404 00:25:56,079 --> 00:25:59,920 things turned out. Griffiths was more than serviceable. We will 405 00:26:00,319 --> 00:26:03,640 evaluate Hammond find that. On the Texas Tech Red Raiders 406 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,440 daily Blitz at fans Streamsports dot com, Texa Tech has 407 00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:10,359 Kate k State coming up on Saturday. Should be a 408 00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,319 fun game. All my text all my k State fans 409 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,880 already texting me, reaching out to me. So we will 410 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:23,880 monitor that game very very closely. Another win by a 411 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,079 Big twelve team for you here in Texas As. Those 412 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:30,400 TCU horn Frogs went out to West Virginia to take 413 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,079 on the Mountaineers. They come away twenty three to seventeen victorious. 414 00:26:34,759 --> 00:26:37,160 The horn Frogs improved to six and two three and 415 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,359 two in the Big twelve. The Mountaineers fall to two 416 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:42,400 and six and winless in the Big twelve. At zero 417 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,920 to five, Josh Hoover and pressing again. He threw a 418 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:49,440 touchdown pass Nate mccashel and kicked three full goals and 419 00:26:49,519 --> 00:26:54,480 TCU outlasted West Virginia. On Saturday night, TCU barely outgained 420 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,240 West Virginia. It was three hundred and forty three to 421 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,079 three hundred and forty two. He can't get much closer 422 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,839 than that, but tc if you made the most of 423 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,440 their opportunities, West Virginia did not. CCU started its first 424 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,079 three possessions past midfield and led ten to nothing before 425 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,319 West Virginia had even mustered a first down. Each team 426 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,680 scored in their initial touchdown. Each team scored their initial 427 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,519 touchdown on a short field following poor punts. After Trent 428 00:27:19,599 --> 00:27:23,000 Battle opened a strong with a strong score on a 429 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,400 one yard run for the Horned Frogs, Hoover fooled West 430 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:27,920 Virginia's defense with a fake handoff and then found Eric 431 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,039 McCallister on a four yard scoring toss. Midway through the 432 00:27:31,079 --> 00:27:35,759 second quarter. It was seventeen to seven Frogs. McCallister was 433 00:27:35,759 --> 00:27:38,400 targeted eighteen times. He got nine passes for one hundred 434 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,400 and twenty four yards. Hoover's tied with two others for 435 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,799 the most touchdown passes at twenty one in the country. 436 00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:47,039 Entering play. He finished twenty fourth thirty nine for two 437 00:27:47,079 --> 00:27:49,640 hundred and forty seven yards. Mccaslan kicked field golds of 438 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:55,480 thirty five, twenty two, and forty one. West Virginia did 439 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,720 now lost five straight and the Mountaineers have been held 440 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:02,079 to seventeen or fewer points five times this season. West 441 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,480 Virginia freshman Scotty Fox junior threw two touchdown passes, including 442 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,440 a twenty eight yard to Jeff Wimer with three point 443 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,279 fifteen left in the game that got the score to 444 00:28:09,319 --> 00:28:12,480 where it was. Tc recovered the ensuing on side kick 445 00:28:12,519 --> 00:28:15,279 and ran out the clock. McAllister gave his team a 446 00:28:15,319 --> 00:28:17,599 scare though he caught a twenty one yard touchdown pass 447 00:28:18,039 --> 00:28:21,319 on third down, but fumbled and teammate Major Everhart recovered 448 00:28:21,319 --> 00:28:25,200 it at the West Virginia nineteen with two minutes left. 449 00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:29,440 You know, TCU is clearly a better team, but you're 450 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:31,240 on the road. It's a big twelve game, and I 451 00:28:31,279 --> 00:28:33,440 don't care who your opponent is. When you're on the 452 00:28:33,519 --> 00:28:37,079 road in the Big Twelve. Anything can happen in these 453 00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:41,960 conference games. And you know, we've talked about parody in 454 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,200 college football this season. I think we've seen it more 455 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,359 this season than in recent seasons. When you've got a 456 00:28:47,839 --> 00:28:51,000 five and two team hitting the road to play a 457 00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:54,880 two to five team in the Big Twelve, literally anything 458 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,000 can happen. You've got to take care of your p's 459 00:28:57,039 --> 00:28:59,680 and q's, you've got to take advantage of your situations 460 00:29:00,599 --> 00:29:05,680 like Tech, like TCU did, and I'll call it an 461 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,319 impressive win. I don't think you should have had that 462 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:10,640 much trouble with West Virginia, but I'll go so far 463 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:16,440 as to call it an impressive win here for the 464 00:29:16,519 --> 00:29:22,359 horn Frogs, who now have an off week before hosting 465 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,720 Iowa State on November eighth. West Virginia plays at Houston 466 00:29:25,759 --> 00:29:32,720 on Saturday. For those Cougars, Now we get into the 467 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,759 losers of the conference. I don't think I did this 468 00:29:35,839 --> 00:29:39,720 on purpose, but our final two games here were losses. 469 00:29:39,839 --> 00:29:44,720 An inexplicable loss for me. For the Mustangs, who head 470 00:29:44,759 --> 00:29:47,680 out to Wake Forest, they fall to the demon Deacons 471 00:29:47,720 --> 00:29:54,079 thirteen to twelve on a last play field goal. A 472 00:29:54,119 --> 00:29:58,279 SMU now loses their first regular season ACC game. You 473 00:29:58,359 --> 00:29:59,920 knew it was coming, and you felt like it was 474 00:30:00,039 --> 00:30:03,359 coming this year for sure. SMU falls to five and 475 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,200 three overall, three and one in the ACC. The Demon 476 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,920 Deacons improved of five and two two and two in 477 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,960 the ACC. Connor Calvert barely made a fifty yard field 478 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,640 goal on the final play to give Wake Forest the 479 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,240 thirteen to twelve win over SMU on Saturday, sending the 480 00:30:17,319 --> 00:30:21,440 Mustangs to their first loss in the ACC and regular 481 00:30:21,519 --> 00:30:24,880 season play. The Mustangs had won twenty straight regular season 482 00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,880 conference games, the longest at the time active streaking the nation. 483 00:30:29,079 --> 00:30:32,119 SMU won it's last nine in the AAC in its 484 00:30:32,119 --> 00:30:37,559 first eleven since joining the ACC. Last season, players and 485 00:30:37,599 --> 00:30:40,319 coaches stayed on the field demanding review of the ruling 486 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,599 of the successful field goal. It was very, very close. 487 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,559 There was no formal review on the field, but replays 488 00:30:47,599 --> 00:30:50,240 showed that it did clear the bar. And to tell 489 00:30:50,279 --> 00:30:55,319 you how close it was, it hit the center post, 490 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,119 that padded center post. If you didn't see the game 491 00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,359 or see the play, it hit that padded center post 492 00:31:03,279 --> 00:31:08,039 after going through the crossbar. So that's only what five 493 00:31:08,119 --> 00:31:11,200 feet I think distance between the crossbar to the post 494 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,519 as it's sort of you know, in angles down there 495 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,440 where the padding is. So of course when you see 496 00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:19,640 it hit that post, your immediately thought, Your immediate thought 497 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:23,119 is why it was short, because it went under the 498 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,079 crossbar and then it hit the post. But it did not. 499 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:30,480 Replays showed that it cleared the crossbar and then it 500 00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:33,319 went down and hit the post. That's just how narrow 501 00:31:33,359 --> 00:31:35,200 of a make it was. But that's all you gotta do. 502 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:40,119 That's all you gotta do. And SMU left a lot 503 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,640 of plays on the field on Saturday against wake Forest. 504 00:31:44,839 --> 00:31:47,920 I was impressed with how wake Forest took advantage of 505 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:53,079 their opportunities. For the most part, SMU did not Jake 506 00:31:53,119 --> 00:31:55,519 Dickard to coach it at wake Forest has a lot 507 00:31:55,519 --> 00:32:00,599 of things to celebrate. Kevin Jennings in check thirty nine 508 00:32:00,599 --> 00:32:04,519 f one hundred and seventy one yards. There were eight turnovers, 509 00:32:04,559 --> 00:32:07,240 two missed field goals, and a blocked extra point kick, 510 00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:13,039 and seventeen punts in this game and it was well 511 00:32:13,079 --> 00:32:18,039 played defense by both schools. Both coaches admitted that they 512 00:32:18,119 --> 00:32:20,680 conceded that and if you like defense, this was a 513 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:26,200 game for you. It was a fun one to watch 514 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,920 if you like defense. It was just a fun one 515 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,400 to watch. Unfortunately for the Mustangs they fall on the 516 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:36,920 losing end of it. And then our other, our other 517 00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:42,400 matchup for this week, it's head up to Cincinnata. Those 518 00:32:42,519 --> 00:32:48,079 number twenty one Bearcats all over the Baylor Bears. And 519 00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:50,640 this was a case of a better team at home 520 00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:54,319 playing a subpar team on the road, is what it 521 00:32:54,359 --> 00:32:58,200 came down to. You had Brendan Sowarsby throwed through touch 522 00:32:58,519 --> 00:33:04,400 two touchdown passes, running for another as the Bearcats more 523 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,240 than double up Baylor forty one to twenty on Saturday. 524 00:33:07,799 --> 00:33:10,160 The Bearcats now have won seventh straight for the first 525 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,519 time since twenty twenty one when they reached the college 526 00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:16,200 Football playoff, and of course we know who was their coach. 527 00:33:16,279 --> 00:33:21,599 Then Baylor trailed twenty four to nothing late in the 528 00:33:21,599 --> 00:33:23,720 first half and then cut it to twenty seven to 529 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,559 twenty early in the fourth quarter behind two posts, two 530 00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:31,359 touchdown passes, and a rushing touchdown by Sawyer Robertson. Soresby's 531 00:33:31,359 --> 00:33:33,720 twenty three yard touchdown cap to twelve play seventy five 532 00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:35,839 yard drive that took more than seven minutes to make 533 00:33:35,839 --> 00:33:37,720 it thirty four to twenty with six minutes left in 534 00:33:37,759 --> 00:33:41,599 the game. It was another situation on Saturday of Cincinnati's 535 00:33:41,599 --> 00:33:45,640 starting fast. The Baylor Bears got a third down stop 536 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,599 on the Bearcats first possession, but a pass interference penalty 537 00:33:49,079 --> 00:33:51,640 gave Cincinnati a first down. A one yard touchdown run 538 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:55,319 by Walker Captain eighty one yard drive put the Bearcats 539 00:33:55,359 --> 00:33:59,440 ahead seven to nothing. The Bearcats found all the success 540 00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,359 that they needed on the ground two hundred and sixty 541 00:34:01,359 --> 00:34:04,640 five total yards. A sack on third down resulted in 542 00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,759 a Baylor punt. Cincinnati drove sixty six yards in ten plays. 543 00:34:07,839 --> 00:34:10,599 Evan Pryor's five yard touchdown run made at fourteen to nothing, 544 00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,320 and he kind of already got the feeling like the 545 00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:16,800 Bears are out of this very very early. Things did 546 00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,599 not go well the rest of the way. Stephen Russknack, 547 00:34:21,679 --> 00:34:25,639 the Bearcats kicker, It's gonna get confusing Saint Bears and 548 00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:28,679 Bearcats here. He made two more field goal attempts to 549 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:32,880 improve on to eleven four eleven on the season. He's 550 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:36,039 made twenty two straight attempts dating back to last season 551 00:34:36,079 --> 00:34:37,840 when he played for Charlotte. He's the only kicker in 552 00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,840 the country did not have missed a field goal attempt 553 00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:42,840 since the start of the twenty twenty four season. What 554 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:46,039 a weapon that is, just asked the Dallas Cowboys there 555 00:34:46,079 --> 00:34:50,239 in the NFL. So yeah, it's it was not a 556 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,119 good performance by Baylor. We're seeing what Baylor is. They're 557 00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:55,280 probably a five hundred team, which is right where their 558 00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,400 record is right now. Overall, things are going to get 559 00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:02,920 more tough as Baylor hosts UCF on Saturday, Cincinnati heads 560 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:06,159 to Utah on Saturday, and we will see how the 561 00:35:06,199 --> 00:35:12,519 rest of the college football week plays out here again, 562 00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:16,199 teams to watch. Let's keep an eye on those Aggies. 563 00:35:17,039 --> 00:35:19,280 Let's keep an eye on those Longhorns, see what this 564 00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:23,760 situation is with Arch Manning. Keep an eye on those 565 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,440 Texas Tech Red Raiders, see if they can finish strong. 566 00:35:27,519 --> 00:35:30,440 And we're getting teams now vying for position here for 567 00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:34,920 their conference championships around the country, which will then of 568 00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:40,480 course lead us into the college football playoff again. High 569 00:35:40,559 --> 00:35:46,480 hopes for the Big Twelve for you know, an appearance. Again. 570 00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:48,679 We mentioned the teams that are really really good. We've 571 00:35:48,679 --> 00:35:52,800 got Tech, We've got Baylor, We've got Cincinnati, all right, 572 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:58,480 BYU not Baylor, clearly not Baylor. BYU, Texas Tech, Cincinnati, Houston, 573 00:35:58,599 --> 00:36:01,840 all going strong here in the Big twelve, just like 574 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:03,599 you like to see. And then of course the Aggie's 575 00:36:03,639 --> 00:36:07,000 dominating the SEC. And by the way, North Texas Mean 576 00:36:07,039 --> 00:36:08,559 Green had a week off. We we'll get back to 577 00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:12,360 some mean Green talk, probably with some ACU, maybe some 578 00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,280 Steven F.
