So let's again appreciate. 33 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 2: You finding us. Let's get right to it. 34 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:08,039 Speaker 4: Florida loses on the road last week in College Station. 35 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,479 They lose. They called a two to four again. Billy 36 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,240 Napier got off to a good start in that game 37 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,599 against the Aggies, but just could not sustain and that 38 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,919 has been kind of the recipe of his. 39 00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 2: Tenure in Gainesville. Mope. 40 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 4: Flashes of brilliance, flashes of good play, but the abilities 41 00:02:28,159 --> 00:02:33,240 to sustain high quality play for multiple quarters, multiple games 42 00:02:33,599 --> 00:02:36,280 has just not been there in the Billy Napier era 43 00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:41,919 so far. A report came out this week, very credible report, 44 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,719 very very open report that Boosters have reached out to 45 00:02:46,759 --> 00:02:50,599 Scott Strickland, the athletics director in Florida at Gainesville and 46 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,159 basically said the pipeline is getting turned off unless Billy 47 00:02:54,199 --> 00:02:59,120 Napier is fired sooner rather than later. Speculation that he 48 00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:02,319 could be fired this weekend following the Mississippi State game. 49 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,479 No matter what happens, remember, Florida does have an open 50 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,919 date prior to the game against Georgia here in a 51 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,120 couple of weeks, so all in, When that kind of 52 00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:15,039 news gets out and broadcasted as quickly as it did, 53 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,240 that makes you believe that again it's just a matter 54 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,000 of when, not if Billy Napier is relieved of his 55 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,639 duties in Gainesville's the head coach again, not good, Not 56 00:03:25,719 --> 00:03:27,879 a good sign when again, again we don't know how 57 00:03:27,879 --> 00:03:30,080 many boosters. But again, when those kind of reports are 58 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,599 being made public basically the day of or the day 59 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:39,639 after these kind of meetings occur, not a good sign for. 60 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: For Billy Napier. 61 00:03:38,919 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 4: I want to throw out to you a couple you know, 62 00:03:40,919 --> 00:03:44,360 what should the Gators do? Should they go offensive coach? 63 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,639 Should they go defensive coach? Should they go established coach 64 00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:50,759 that's had a winning track record at a big program. 65 00:03:50,919 --> 00:03:54,039 Should they go assistant coach but not assistant but a 66 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,319 a a coach who's won at a smaller level at 67 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:00,800 a at A at a you know, the American Conference 68 00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:03,599 kind of guy, guy like Alex Goldish, guy like John 69 00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:08,080 Sumral at Tulane. Or should they go big, big fish hunting, 70 00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:11,960 big game hunting for for for a guy James Franklin 71 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,719 relieved of his dues at Penn State. 72 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: I don't love that. 73 00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 4: I wouldn't love that higher at all, but he does 74 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,759 have a track track record of winning. Do you go 75 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,319 for a guy a little bit off the radar, guy 76 00:04:22,439 --> 00:04:26,439 like John Gruden, who's who's obviously itching to get back 77 00:04:26,439 --> 00:04:29,279 into the coaching world. You know, those are the kind 78 00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:31,519 of decisions that you have to be that have to 79 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,279 be thought out. Again, how much influence do the do 80 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,480 the big money n i L funders have in this decision? 81 00:04:40,519 --> 00:04:43,319 That's another huge question in this equation because as we 82 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,720 all know, the n i L funding is as important 83 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:50,720 as anything in this equation. The ability to raise money 84 00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:52,959 to pay you know, for the n i L collective, 85 00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:56,240 for the for the all the all the financial commitments 86 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:01,759 that are needed from a player personnel standpoint, so huge, huge, huge, Next, 87 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,600 you know, four or five six weeks in Gainesville ahead 88 00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:09,759 for Scott's trickland that athletic administration about which way they go? 89 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,839 Do they do you fire Napier now so you can 90 00:05:12,879 --> 00:05:15,160 get way ahead of the curve. As far as beginning 91 00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:18,079 to talk to people, do you wait till the bye 92 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,759 week at Georgia? Obviously if he were to lose, If 93 00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:23,199 coach Napier were to lose this week at miss home 94 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,839 to Mississippi State, I don't think he would be the 95 00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:28,560 coach by Sunday afternoon. I think that move would be 96 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,360 made on Sunday morning if that were to happen. You 97 00:05:31,439 --> 00:05:33,959 saw what happened up at Penn State last week following 98 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,879 the catastrophe losing a back to back UCLA and Northwestern. 99 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,759 James Napier was Billy James Franklin, excuse me? Was let 100 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,399 go in his owe what somewhere around forty five to 101 00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:53,120 fifty million dollars in in buy out money? I think 102 00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:56,720 Napier's number is somewhere in the twenty million dollar range. Again, 103 00:05:56,759 --> 00:05:58,839 that's something that the University of Florida could come up 104 00:05:58,879 --> 00:06:01,279 with if they needed to to be able to make 105 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:05,920 this happen. So again, probably just a matter of when, 106 00:06:06,399 --> 00:06:09,120 not if or billion Napier if you're gonna do it, 107 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,079 you might as well do it sooner rather than later. 108 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,560 Probably at the bye week is probably the time to 109 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,040 do it, from a little bit of a stability perspective 110 00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:18,879 and all that. But but again, the other part of 111 00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:20,480 this equation is too you have to be able to 112 00:06:20,519 --> 00:06:26,519 retain your roster. So I think Florida needs to get 113 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,199 the ball roll in here. As far as on the phone, 114 00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:31,839 I'm sure that kind of stuff is happening third party wise, 115 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,600 behind the scenes that we probably those calls have probably 116 00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:38,240 been are being made to those agents of the people 117 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,079 they're interested in to seeing if there would be interest 118 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,759 on the other side to potentially come to Florida. Lane 119 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,079 Kiffin's name will also be mentioned as well as a huge, 120 00:06:48,439 --> 00:06:49,680 huge fish. 121 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,199 Speaker 2: I just don't think. 122 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 4: I'm not sure that money will not be a factor 123 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,839 in this decision, meaning Florida will pay what they got 124 00:06:56,959 --> 00:07:00,800 to pay, but oh miss for a guy like Lane Kiffin, 125 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,399 I think will pay whatever they have to pay to 126 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:03,279 keep playing Kiffin. 127 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 2: So I worry that unless Lane. 128 00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 4: Kiffin has a absolute desire to coach in the Euarsity 129 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,399 of Florida, to be back in the state of Florida, 130 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,240 I think that will be a tough get. 131 00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:12,879 Speaker 2: Talking to some. 132 00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:15,319 Speaker 4: People in and around that Old Miss program who cover 133 00:07:15,399 --> 00:07:18,639 Ole Miss, they say he is Kiffin is super happy 134 00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:21,399 in Oxford. They can they can get to the playoff 135 00:07:21,439 --> 00:07:24,720 in Oxford. So be interesting to see what happens with again. 136 00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:25,519 Speaker 2: Uh. 137 00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 4: The news that leaked out of Gainsville that it's not 138 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,800 a matter of when, it's not a matter of if, 139 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,480 but when Billy Napier gets let go as the head coach, 140 00:07:33,879 --> 00:07:36,240 Let's head up to Tallahassee, where the where the heat 141 00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:39,639 the oven has been turned up even higher and as 142 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,399 hot almost as Billy Napier. With Mike Norvell and Florida 143 00:07:42,399 --> 00:07:45,959 State third straight acc loss over the weekend, they lose 144 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,399 to pit at home. They've now lost three in a 145 00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:54,399 row Virginia, Miami, Pittsburgh the uh. The win against Alabama 146 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:56,720 seems like a eons ago. 147 00:07:56,959 --> 00:07:57,079 Speaker 3: Uh. 148 00:07:57,439 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 4: Florida State now falls to three and three again away 149 00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,279 game at Stanford this week if they were again UH. 150 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,279 A lot of talk, a lot of chatter here in 151 00:08:08,279 --> 00:08:11,240 the state of Florida about Mike Norvel's future. His buy 152 00:08:11,279 --> 00:08:16,519 out situation is higher than Billy Napiers in Gainesville. But again, 153 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,639 does Florida State have the financial resources to do this. 154 00:08:20,279 --> 00:08:22,600 That's a that's a big question. They are not the 155 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:27,560 most They're not the most rich program in the Southeast 156 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,399 by any means. They have money, But again, do you 157 00:08:30,439 --> 00:08:32,960 want to pay somebody forty five, you know, thirty five 158 00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,000 or forty million dollars not to be the coach and 159 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,600 then have to turn around and hire another coach at 160 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,080 six or seven eight million dollars to be the coach? 161 00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:42,960 I don't know Florida State has those kind of resources 162 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,840 on top of the nil money that's needed. Again, I 163 00:08:46,919 --> 00:08:50,759 thought Norvell was getting had figured it out, and but boy, 164 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,440 the defense did not play great. Tommy Castellanos was was 165 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,240 so so in this game not great. Boy, have things 166 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,159 changed since six weeks ago when Florida State looks so 167 00:09:02,279 --> 00:09:07,600 good beating Alabama an opening day in Tallahassee. Tough situation 168 00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:09,279 of what's gonna happen there. I don't think a move 169 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,480 would be made there until the end of the year. 170 00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:16,200 But pressure is mounting on Mike Norvel in this Florida 171 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,080 State program just to the inability again kind of like 172 00:09:20,159 --> 00:09:25,200 Napier to consistently again be consistent Virginia. You could understand 173 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:27,799 losing to Virginia. But you can't lose to Pittsburgh. 174 00:09:27,919 --> 00:09:28,399 Speaker 2: You can't. 175 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 4: They got manhandled by Miami. That was not That score 176 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,080 was nowhere near indicative of how dominant Miami was in 177 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,639 that game. And again, you can't lose to a true 178 00:09:37,639 --> 00:09:40,360 freshman quarterback at pitt I know Pitt's a good team, 179 00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:43,120 but a home game, you can't lose that game. And 180 00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:46,720 god forbid they lose at Stanford. They're a big favorite 181 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,600 on the road. It will be a sleepy environment Saturday 182 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:55,919 night in Palo Alto. Not again, very very important for 183 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,639 Mike Norvel to have a bounce back performance and for 184 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,960 them to play well. I don't know if again you 185 00:10:02,039 --> 00:10:03,879 don't know what the culture is in that locker room. 186 00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:06,360 You don't know what the what the what the status 187 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,000 and mood of that of that program is. But again, 188 00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:11,279 a lot of a lot of chatter in and around 189 00:10:11,279 --> 00:10:14,120 Tallahassee this week about Mike Norvel's future. 190 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: Let's sit down of Tampa. 191 00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:19,519 Speaker 4: University of South Florida UH impressive win last Friday night 192 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,039 in Denton, Texas against North Texas, an undefeated North Texas team. 193 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: UH. 194 00:10:24,759 --> 00:10:27,879 Speaker 4: They moved USF moves to five and one a dominant 195 00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:29,799 performance by the Bulls and again a game a lot 196 00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:32,799 of people thought North Texas potentially could win. But give 197 00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,159 Alex gouls and that in the Bulls program massive credit 198 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,879 for going on the road and take care of business 199 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,279 in a game that they needed to win. Memphis coming 200 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,720 up here, not this weekend, but next weekend. Us F 201 00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:47,600 will be home to FAU this weekend, a game they 202 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,279 will be their heavy favorites in, and again a huge 203 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,600 game in Memphis next week. You can't look, you can't, 204 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,080 you can't bypass this FAU team yet. We'll get to 205 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,600 them here in a minute. But Florida US have setting 206 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,399 up setting themselves up for a monster game next Saturday 207 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:10,039 in Memphis against the Memphis Tigers for AAC supremacy and 208 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:14,519 again college football playoff implications go Lore in that game 209 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,159 next week. But you got to take care of business 210 00:11:16,159 --> 00:11:20,480 this week against FAU. Alex Golish having to answer questions 211 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,080 this week about possible job opportunities coming up for him again, 212 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,000 I think it'll be very tough for USF to keep 213 00:11:27,039 --> 00:11:30,039 Alex Golish no matter how this year ends. With all 214 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,440 the big jobs that are open that will be open, 215 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,240 already currently open, I think Alex Golish will be on 216 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,919 a lot of people's lists, high on people's lists for 217 00:11:40,279 --> 00:11:45,320 some of these jobs. So get ready USF to potentially 218 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,639 have to make another coaching higher because I do think 219 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,879 Alex Golish will have a tough time staying at the 220 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,559 University of South Florida with the opportunities he potentially could 221 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,399 have on his plate here in a few weeks. University 222 00:11:57,399 --> 00:11:59,960 of Miami off week last week. They have a fright 223 00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:03,440 game at home against Louisville. Tricky game, A little bit 224 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,399 of a tricky game. Louisville's again pretty good team lost 225 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,559 their first game of the year last two weeks ago 226 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:12,879 against Virginia, who's showing out to be a really good 227 00:12:12,919 --> 00:12:17,240 acc team. Again, if you're Mario Cristobal, everything's in front 228 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,440 of you, you're gonna be heavy favorites in every game 229 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,919 you play this year. The rest of the way, UH, 230 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,440 take care of business. Be professional. They've not They've not 231 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,120 shown any propensity to slip up yet, which is a 232 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,519 great sign for the Hurricanes. But you got to keep 233 00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:33,720 keep putting stacking wins on top of wins. They should 234 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:38,200 win this game, but again, Louisville's a formidable opponent. We've 235 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,240 seen Miami slip up in these situations in past years, 236 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,159 but I do think this is a different mentality of 237 00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:47,519 a different team. I do like Miami, but again, they're 238 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,480 they're they're gonna be heavy favorites the rest of the 239 00:12:50,519 --> 00:12:57,240 way on their schedule down in Miami. So, uh, there's 240 00:12:57,279 --> 00:13:03,240 your first there, there's your recaps of your Florida, Florida state, Miami, 241 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,039 USF Before we get to UCFFAU and FIU. 242 00:13:08,279 --> 00:13:11,039 Speaker 2: Put in a word for Titan Home Lending. 243 00:13:11,399 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 4: If you are in the state of Florida, anywhere in 244 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,919 the state of Florida looking to purchase a new home, 245 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:23,399 a beach home, a second home, refinance your current primary 246 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,200 residence home, reach out to Titan Home Lending.

Again, if you're looking for refinance opportunity, interest 250 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,279 rates have dropped in the last couple of weeks. The 251 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:44,879 hope is there will be more rate cuts with the 252 00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:48,440 FED here coming up in the coming coming weeks as well. 253 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:51,039 Rates again have dropped a little bit. Whether it's an 254 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,159 FHA conventional VA, these are all loan programs that Titan 255 00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:58,320 Home Lending has access to.

So anyone 259 00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:17,080 in the state of Florida, Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, Pensacola, Tallahassee, 260 00:14:17,279 --> 00:14:21,320 anywhere in between, reach out Titan Home Lending two zero five, 261 00:14:21,759 --> 00:14:25,759 seven to nine, zero one, four zero four for your 262 00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:32,200 home financing needs. All right, let's head to Orlando. UCF 263 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,240 falls last week on the road to Cincinnati. They fall 264 00:14:35,279 --> 00:14:38,120 to zero to three in the Big Twelve. They lose 265 00:14:38,159 --> 00:14:41,799 twenty to eleven on the road in Cincinnati, competitive game. 266 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,320 Cam Fancher, the quarterback, plays, I don't know if something 267 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,360 must have. He threw for two hundred and twenty two yards, 268 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,399 ran for one hundred and eight in a losing effort 269 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,200 in Cincinnati. Three and three on the year. Again, this 270 00:14:58,279 --> 00:14:59,559 is what we told you kind of what was going 271 00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:02,159 to happen the UCF. Kind of a rebuild year for 272 00:15:02,159 --> 00:15:06,639 Scott Frost, re establishing his recruiting connections here in the 273 00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:11,399 state of Florida. Kind of a quarterback. A unclear quarterback 274 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,399 situation has been. They've been back and forth at quarterbacks 275 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,960 all year due to injury and due to due to 276 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,039 lack of quality play. But again I think this is 277 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,159 a situation. A winnable game this week at home against 278 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:28,080 West Virginia. Rich Rodriguez brings his Mountaineers to Orlando. Again, 279 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:29,159 he's in year one. 280 00:15:29,399 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 2: This is uh. 281 00:15:30,159 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 4: This is the coaching reboot two point zero Bowl here 282 00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:37,840 with Scott Frost in Orlando and Rich rod back in 283 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,480 Morgantown at West Virginia. So again, winnable game here this 284 00:15:41,559 --> 00:15:43,960 week for UCF. This is a game they probably need 285 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,279 to win. I shouldn't say. They are zero to three 286 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,720 in the conference, and again West Virginia has struggled in 287 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,919 the conference as well. So again this is a game 288 00:15:52,919 --> 00:15:56,799 that the UCF can can get a WN and probably 289 00:15:56,799 --> 00:16:00,759 should win. This game at home against West Virginia on 290 00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:03,000 Saturday in Orlando. 291 00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:04,360 Speaker 2: FAU three and three. 292 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 4: Nice win over the weekend home win against UAB fifty 293 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,399 three to thirty three. If you didn't see the news, 294 00:16:10,679 --> 00:16:13,399 Trent Dilfer, the former Tampa Bay Buccaneer quarterback who was 295 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,600 the head coach at u A B. He was fired 296 00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:21,799 on Sunday after this game again, FAU give them full credit. 297 00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:26,519 Veldt Camp the quarterback of FAU two hundred ninety seven 298 00:16:26,559 --> 00:16:30,679 yards three touchdowns. Cadence Shields Dutton ran for seventy seven 299 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,519 yards and three more touchdowns for the for the Owls. 300 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,720 As FAU moves to three and three on the schedule 301 00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:42,600 or on the calendar, FAU will travel to Tampa to 302 00:16:42,679 --> 00:16:47,759 see us F this week in an American Conference game. Again, 303 00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:49,799 there's been a little bit of a rivalry here. There 304 00:16:49,799 --> 00:16:52,720 were some heated moments between Alex Gouls and Tom Herman 305 00:16:53,039 --> 00:16:55,039 in the last couple of years, a little running up 306 00:16:55,039 --> 00:16:58,519 the score beef. Obviously, Tom Herman is not the coach 307 00:16:58,559 --> 00:17:01,879 anymore at FAU, but Alex Goldish. 308 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:04,279 Speaker 2: Again will look to put up a big score to. 309 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,079 Speaker 4: Establish again to continue there they're good play at USF 310 00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:12,119 and again FAU will be visiting Tampa at Raymond James 311 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,240 Stadium on Saturday night as the Owls come a call 312 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:19,759 in to say the USF Bulls. As the FAU has 313 00:17:19,759 --> 00:17:21,680 moved to three and three after a nice win fifty 314 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,160 three to thirty three over ua B. Last recap of 315 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,799 the week in preview will be FIU. FYU had a 316 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,599 game over the weekend, a midweek game, a nice win, 317 00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:36,319 very dominant win, to move to three and three, winning 318 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,599 at Western Kentucky twenty five to six. Kean Owens has 319 00:17:40,599 --> 00:17:44,279 been a star for FIU and the Panthers. Twenty two 320 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,799 carries one hundred ninety five yards. He's been a very 321 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,680 reliable running back for the Panthers as we moved through 322 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,559 this year. Nice job by him and that Panther program 323 00:17:56,839 --> 00:17:59,519 to get off the snide win a big, nice conference 324 00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:07,160 road game.

I got no problem 366 00:20:36,279 --> 00:20:39,079 with it. If that's the case, I got no again. 367 00:20:39,519 --> 00:20:41,640 Maybe should you keep some of that stuff under wraps, 368 00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:44,000 but good for good for Tua for calling out those 369 00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:46,519 guys on that. I know Tua didn't play great in 370 00:20:46,559 --> 00:20:48,799 the game, He's not had a great year. But you 371 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:50,480 want this guy to be a leader. He's trying to 372 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,319 show some leadership calling out guys that are screwing around, 373 00:20:53,599 --> 00:20:55,599 not doing what they need to do. Just a matter 374 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,440 of time when Mike McDaniel gets fired from all indications, uh, 375 00:20:59,599 --> 00:21:02,079 probably potentially at the bye week if not at the 376 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,480 end of the year. His days in Miami will be 377 00:21:04,519 --> 00:21:09,119 over sooner rather than later. Again not sure. Again, the 378 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,599 culture down there has not been great, The physical play 379 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,079 has not been great. Again, can he call you know, McDaniel, 380 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,160 Maybe a little bit over over his head as far 381 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,039 as being a head coach. Probably be a really good 382 00:21:20,039 --> 00:21:23,079 offensive coordinator, but again, just not had the ability to 383 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:29,119 establish that that team bonding, that togetherness that all the 384 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,200 really good teams have. 385 00:21:30,759 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 2: There's been a lot of fractured players down there. 386 00:21:35,799 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 4: Tyreek Hill in company, all the off season stuff with him, 387 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,279 just not in two as well. So the other thing, 388 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,119 Jacksonville heading to London this week. They lose a tough 389 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,920 game over last weekend twenty to twelve to the Seattle Seahawks. 390 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,279 Speaker 2: They will travel to London to play the La Rams. Again. 391 00:21:53,599 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence played okay over the week Over the last weekend, 392 00:21:57,559 --> 00:22:00,359 we just was not able to killer pen only on 393 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,240 a touchdown called back on an illegal on an illegal 394 00:22:03,319 --> 00:22:08,720 shift situation. But Liam Cohen again, if you're four and two, 395 00:22:08,759 --> 00:22:11,599 you're Liam Cohen, you couldn't have asked for a better start. Again, 396 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,279 they travel to London to play the Rams. 397 00:22:13,599 --> 00:22:14,039 Speaker 2: We'll see. 398 00:22:14,039 --> 00:22:16,119 Speaker 4: The Rams are in need of a win as well, 399 00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,599 so it should be a very competitive game in London 400 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:25,240 on Sunday morning.
