in college football, is Sean Alvarez. Guys, welcome Ralph. You'ving

13
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,560
the veteran of the show that you are. I'm gonna

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,039
go to you first. Only Top twenty five matchup of

15
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:49,600
the weekend is number fifteen Michigan at number eighteen Oklahoma.

16
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:51,679
Michigan didn't look so good last week against New Mexican.

17
00:00:51,679 --> 00:00:53,159
I don't know if they were gold bricking or not

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,479
that second half, but Oklahoma's taken some early money in

19
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,479
the week. What sticks out to you when capping the

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,880
loan Top twenty five matchup on the board for Saturday.

21
00:01:03,719 --> 00:01:06,519
Speaker 3: Brian, I'm not here to bring up bad memories, but

22
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,319
we were talking last week. We thought New Mexico may

23
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,599
not score. So if you look and you say Michigan

24
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,200
had a four point fifty two to two sixty seven

25
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,439
yard edge, you say, okay. But playing New Mexico only

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,159
having two hundred and one yards rushing and only six

27
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,680
point three. I say only six point three because you

28
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,640
are thirty five point home favorite and you were plus

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,840
two turnovers. So I think Michigan's performance was a poor performance.

30
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,519
And you could say they may have not shown everything

31
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,480
and they were not wanting to share any of their

32
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,760
playbook with the Oklahoma road trip on deck. But you

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,799
know Bryce Underwood, he only had an eight point one yppa.

34
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,879
That doesn't that doesn't bode well for anybody. So I

35
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:51,799
look at Michigan and you know, I had to go

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,280
to the database. We're always going to do that and

37
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:57,239
take a look at these things. So when we have

38
00:01:57,959 --> 00:02:02,079
two ranked teams, one of it is the home favorite

39
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,120
of minus three and a half or higher with a

40
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:08,400
total over forty five, those teams have actually gone sixty

41
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,879
percent against the spread, seventy one percent the last two years,

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,800
so being that home favorite in a non conference game

43
00:02:15,879 --> 00:02:20,240
does mean something. And in game two, if both teams

44
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,599
are off a win by fourteen points or more, it's

45
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,680
been fifty five percent to the under, and with a

46
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,199
total of fifty one in less, it's actually been sixty

47
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,360
percent to the under. You know, in Oklahoma we have

48
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:38,120
John Mader thirty of thirty seven, eighty one percent, a

49
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,560
three to one ratio. It was a bad it was

50
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,520
a bad pass on the interception. They didn't get their

51
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,000
rush attack going again. They were a huge favorite against

52
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,919
Illinois State. They only ran for one hundred and three

53
00:02:49,039 --> 00:02:52,560
yards and three point two yards per carry. The d

54
00:02:52,759 --> 00:02:55,240
did hold them to one hundred and fifty one yards.

55
00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:01,479
You know, in these big games ranked teams ABC under

56
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,520
the lights, I'm going to look for a very conservative

57
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,360
start again. The full game total is low at forty five,

58
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:12,719
but I'm actually gonna go first half under for Michigan

59
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:14,680
Oklahoma Saturday night.

60
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: Oh interesting angle there. I want to bring up one

61
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,879
point here because we talked about Michigan, how underwhelming that finals.

62
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,800
The final score looked against New Mexico last week. There

63
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:26,280
was a key play in the game and we've got

64
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,479
to talk about it because it's really plays in the

65
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,800
handicap for this game Michigan, Michigan's linebacker. There was a

66
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,319
play early in the second half Borrom He jars the

67
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,759
ball loose, Michigan picks it up, returns it for an

68
00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:44,280
apparent touchdown. On replay, they not only nullified the touchdown,

69
00:03:45,199 --> 00:03:47,680
they ejected him for targeting. That means he's going to

70
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:51,199
miss the first half of this game on deep for

71
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:54,479
the Michigan defense. Is that a big loss? We shall see, Sean.

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,840
I want to bring you in here obviously to talk

73
00:03:56,879 --> 00:04:00,319
about this game with Oklahoma. Now, you know, we all

74
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,960
think they're going to be better this year. Michigan, we

75
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,719
don't know what we think after last week?

76
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: Does Oaklham does Are you surprised that Oklahoma took me

77
00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:09,360
early week money?

78
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,639
Speaker 2: You know what are you looking at here in this

79
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,840
game all in the chest? By the way, what do

80
00:04:13,879 --> 00:04:15,120
you think Michigan or Oklahoma?

81
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I definitely don't don't. Uh. I do

82
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,759
get kind of get behind Oklahoma taking the early money.

83
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,600
You know, after what you and Ralph kind of mentioned

84
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,480
with Michigan just kind of looking you know, not as good,

85
00:04:28,519 --> 00:04:31,079
and we saw John Mattier throw for three hundred and

86
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:35,079
ninety two yards, completing thirty of thirty seven passes last week,

87
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,639
albeit against you know, obviously a weaker competition that he's

88
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,040
going to see at Michigan. But you know, when you

89
00:04:42,079 --> 00:04:44,120
look at the box schedule and you look at what

90
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:46,879
he put up, there's a lot more question marks about,

91
00:04:47,079 --> 00:04:50,480
you know, the quarterback of Bryce Underwood at Michigan compared

92
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,240
to what John Mattier did, not only at Oklahoma, but

93
00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:56,360
what we saw him do at Washington State previously. I

94
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,959
don't think there's any question marks surrounding him and his ability.

95
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,560
He just sling the football all around the field and

96
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,519
he obviously gets a little bit more talent at receiver

97
00:05:05,879 --> 00:05:09,439
than he saw playing with the Cougars last year, you know,

98
00:05:09,519 --> 00:05:11,639
But kind of looking a little bit more under the

99
00:05:11,639 --> 00:05:14,959
hood about what Michigan did last week, I do think

100
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,560
it was a little bit more of a you know, slow, methodical,

101
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,399
not really an exciting type of offense. But I really

102
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:25,600
think that was planned on Bryce Underwood's first start. You know,

103
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,360
let's not let's not throw him to the to the wolves,

104
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,759
you know, kind of like we saw with CJ. Carr

105
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,120
at Notre Dame last week as well, making his first start.

106
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,199
He you know, running around the pocket obviously made some

107
00:05:38,439 --> 00:05:40,399
I wouldn't say outlandish, but I would say a little

108
00:05:40,399 --> 00:05:43,120
bit of a you know, lucky plays downfield late in

109
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,000
the game. But you know, we saw him a little

110
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,839
flustered as well, and I don't think that, you know,

111
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,879
the Michigan coaching staff really wanted to deal with that, especially,

112
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,680
you know, getting an easy win in week one and

113
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,759
then having to trans travel to Oklahoma to face a

114
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,399
much better defense in the owners. You know, Bryce Underwood

115
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:05,959
definitely has help at running back. I think Justice Haynes

116
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,279
was impressive last week, ripping off a nine point nine

117
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,360
yards per carry average. Ralph alluded to it, you know,

118
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,560
it's it's what we looked for him to do against

119
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,639
a weaker team. But this is the type of running

120
00:06:17,639 --> 00:06:20,000
back that can break it from you know, any point

121
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,079
of the field, whether it be a draw or you know,

122
00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:24,480
or a toss outside. So I like the fact that

123
00:06:24,519 --> 00:06:26,920
Bryce has a running back, you know, that's a little

124
00:06:26,959 --> 00:06:29,519
bit more of a safety net. And then as far

125
00:06:29,519 --> 00:06:32,680
as the play calling goes, Bryce can absolutely run with

126
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:36,480
his legs. There was no you know, planned or play

127
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:39,920
called runs he wasn't really running around after the pocket.

128
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,000
If if Oklahoma plays a lot of Manda man defense

129
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,439
and he gets a decent you know, protection up front,

130
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,279
he can run for twenty thirty yards before any of

131
00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:52,120
these you know, defensive backs turn around. So I do

132
00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:54,079
think that they're going to open up the playbook a

133
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,600
little bit more on the on the Michigan side, And

134
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,759
you know, as far as Oklahoma goes, they did struggle

135
00:06:59,759 --> 00:07:01,680
to run the ball a little bit, and they're gonna

136
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,319
be a little banged up going into this week. Freshman

137
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,800
Tory Blaylock had a little bit of an arm injury,

138
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,079
came back in a sling, never entered return from the game.

139
00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:13,560
They have a transfer in aught coming from cal that

140
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,120
they have bigger expectations of, but he, you know, a

141
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,839
little bit banged up going into this. So there's definitely

142
00:07:18,959 --> 00:07:21,600
question marks there. But they are deep there as well.

143
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,040
So I do think that this is gonna be a

144
00:07:25,079 --> 00:07:28,199
tough defensive game. I do kind of lean towards the under,

145
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,920
but I'm not gonna give out a play here as

146
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,439
far as the side goes. I do have one up

147
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,600
for a premium play for subscribers over at wager.

148
00:07:36,319 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: Talk Okay, there we go. I will say one thing

149
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,399
with Underwood. We did see young quarterbacks in the road

150
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,920
last week. He would think eighteen nineteen year olds. They

151
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,360
did struggle a little bit. So we shall see the

152
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:50,000
long Top twenty five matchup Michigan and Oklahoma. Guys, let

153
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:51,800
us go in the chat what you think of that game.

154
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,720
We've already got some questions coming in. Jacob Hefner is in.

155
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,720
He wants to know the bigger lock. First of all,

156
00:07:57,759 --> 00:07:59,279
there's no such thing as a lock. That's gonna be

157
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:01,879
my first response your question. That's such a thing does

158
00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:03,600
not exist. But he wants to know about the Pitt

159
00:08:03,639 --> 00:08:07,839
Panthers minus twenty one and a half. They're playing Central Michigan.

160
00:08:07,959 --> 00:08:13,040
The Chips one of the performance that was there going

161
00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:16,600
across country beat San Jose State or LSU Louisiana Tech

162
00:08:16,639 --> 00:08:19,120
over fifty one. I think Pit's a sharp side, Ralph,

163
00:08:19,199 --> 00:08:22,079
I don't know the between those two. That's what I'm

164
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,639
looking at out of those two games.

165
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:27,959
Speaker 4: You know, I Pit may make my card.

166
00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: You know, I my five percent last week opening week

167
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,440
was Central Michigan, San Jose State under So it was

168
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:35,759
nice to get an easy win to start. Rats but

169
00:08:35,879 --> 00:08:39,600
you look at that game and the only reason Central

170
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:42,840
Michigan pooled that upset was they were plus three turnovers. Yes,

171
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,120
eighty five percent of the team's win and cover if

172
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,159
you're plus three turnovers, so you know it's you have

173
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:53,399
to remember going from week one to week two, be

174
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,399
very careful because I'm going to use the example of

175
00:08:56,759 --> 00:09:01,120
LSU Clemson. We don't know if if Clemson was bad

176
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,360
or we don't know if LSU was very very good.

177
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,720
So while we don't know much in week one, we

178
00:09:07,759 --> 00:09:10,720
still don't know much going into week two because we

179
00:09:10,799 --> 00:09:13,440
don't know which side was positive, which side was negative.

180
00:09:13,519 --> 00:09:16,799
So make sure you don't overreact to week one results.

181
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:19,679
You have to take it in the entire body of work.

182
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:22,279
If you watch the game or read the coach's quotes,

183
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,159
that's a little bit of a different scenario.

184
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 4: But to me, pitt may get on my card.

185
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,919
Speaker 3: This week, fading Central Michigan making that long trip to

186
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,840
San jose A playing at night, now traveling to Pittsburgh,

187
00:09:37,159 --> 00:09:39,639
and they got a road game at Michigan on deck

188
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,320
playing Big Brothers. So it's not quite a sandwich because

189
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,080
you're playing a power for school. But after that win

190
00:09:47,519 --> 00:09:50,159
teams that win as a dog only cover thirty five

191
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:51,519
percent in week number two.

192
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll tell you what. As a MAC guy resident

193
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,279
MAC graduate here, I'm going to tell you that Central

194
00:09:57,279 --> 00:10:00,519
Michigan I think they're live to make the MAC Championship. Obviously,

195
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:02,080
it's a big step up in class when you're talking

196
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,279
about facing MAC teams versus you know, G five opponents

197
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,039
Sandles the state last week and then now a Power

198
00:10:08,159 --> 00:10:10,759
four opponent this week. I talked about sharp money. I'm

199
00:10:10,759 --> 00:10:14,279
looking at the odds screen here, guys, DraftKings kind of

200
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,600
lagging behind. So I always find this interesting. They're at

201
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,679
twenty one and a half on Pitt's circus, already up

202
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,759
to twenty two and a half. That always kind of

203
00:10:20,799 --> 00:10:23,600
peaks my interests when I see that Discrepancy show and

204
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,159
I see you nodding your head. I don't know if

205
00:10:25,159 --> 00:10:28,039
you had any take on either of those matchups. Ralph

206
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,200
and I seem to be on the same page with Pitt.

207
00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:31,639
I don't know if you had anything on that or

208
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,919
the LSU Louisiana tech over that we had a question of.

209
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I was just kind of agreeing with you.

210
00:10:37,799 --> 00:10:40,799
I'm even seeing south Point here in Vegas at minus

211
00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:44,120
twenty three for Pitt, so definitely more of the sharper

212
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,799
side there where the LSU Louisiana Tech is still holding

213
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,399
pretty strong at fifty one juice to fifty one and

214
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,200
a half under, So I would agree with you guys.

215
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:55,919
I don't have as much of a lean here. One

216
00:10:55,919 --> 00:10:58,919
of my actually my only free play loss in a

217
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:02,960
video breakdown was the Central Michigan San Jose State game,

218
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,000
So maybe not. Don't have my finger on the pulls

219
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:07,919
as much as you guys do in that maction.

220
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Ralph, you mentioned LSU. How good are they?

221
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,039
I think they are? That was arguably the most impressive

222
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,559
win in Week one I thought across the country going

223
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:20,919
to I mean, that's a Clemson team everyone just sort

224
00:11:20,919 --> 00:11:25,399
of expected to make the College Football Playoff, expected to

225
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:27,559
win the AC and they were just gonna rolls an

226
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,240
ACC championship because Dabo had hit in the transfer world.

227
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,080
LSU look great. I think they're live to win the SEC.

228
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,080
You look at this Louisiana Tech side. Ralph, you mentioned

229
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:43,120
misleading finals early on. Well, Louisiana Tech last week took

230
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:46,440
on Southeast Louisiana, an FCS school. It was not an

231
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,919
impressive performance. Louisiana Tech was actually outgained but plus three

232
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,840
in turnovers. So when you see the fact that they

233
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,240
won and covered, they won it was twenty four to

234
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,240
nothing they cover as fourteen and a half point favorites.

235
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,919
Did LA Tech out gain and it was that turnover

236
00:12:00,039 --> 00:12:03,120
margin you mentioned Ralph that did it. I think as

237
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:07,000
long as the LSU defense, you know, isn't playing with

238
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,919
its food, shows up with some intensity off a big win,

239
00:12:10,279 --> 00:12:13,000
I think Louisiana Tech's actually gonna struggle to move the

240
00:12:13,039 --> 00:12:15,960
ball here, and I would not I actually don't think

241
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,159
I would be rushing to play an over in that situation.

242
00:12:19,159 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 4: I totally agree with you, Brian. I mean, you look

243
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:21,480
at Cuckoo.

244
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:23,799
Speaker 3: He was fourteen to nineteen for one hundred and thirty

245
00:12:23,879 --> 00:12:28,600
yards a six point eight YEPA at home against Southeast Louisiana.

246
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,600
Now again you're taking the road start and maybe even

247
00:12:31,639 --> 00:12:34,679
more concerning, is only averaging four point zero yards per carry.

248
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:39,279
You know I would say this, You know LSU. Let

249
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,519
me look real quick, what's the total in this fifty

250
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:46,879
one guys? Yes, yes, and LSU's a thirty seven and

251
00:12:46,879 --> 00:12:50,639
a half point favorite. Noo That means thirty seven were

252
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,360
left at fifteen. LA Tech team total is going to

253
00:12:53,399 --> 00:12:55,840
be about seven and a half. LSU team total is

254
00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:59,000
going to be forty five. Souh. You know you can

255
00:12:59,039 --> 00:13:01,720
also look at those if you have a preference one

256
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,320
way or the other.

257
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,759
Speaker 2: All right, Titan c t one of our favorites in

258
00:13:06,759 --> 00:13:08,360
the chat. I see he's in there. Great to see

259
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,720
you as always. Any thoughts on Kansas Missouri and Duke Illinois.

260
00:13:12,799 --> 00:13:15,399
Kansas Missouri was one of our highlighted games. We'll get

261
00:13:15,399 --> 00:13:16,120
to that a little bit.

262
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:20,879
Speaker 3: I was surprised that some people were surprised how short

263
00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:22,840
the lot that the they thought the line was short

264
00:13:22,879 --> 00:13:23,679
in this Illinois Do.

265
00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:26,279
Speaker 2: Game, I mean Illinois Still. I know people like this

266
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,240
Illinois team. They have a lot of returning talent guys.

267
00:13:29,399 --> 00:13:33,159
But I'm gonna be playing against Illinois when Big ten

268
00:13:33,279 --> 00:13:34,879
season starts. I don't know if Duke is the team

269
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,000
I want to take. Just getting three here against Illinois,

270
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:39,879
I don't know if either of you have thoughts here.

271
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,320
That was a stayaway game for me, so I unfortunately

272
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,320
don't have very strong opinions on the Illinois Duke point matchup.

273
00:13:47,879 --> 00:13:51,639
Speaker 3: Well, I'll go you know, it's you know, you you

274
00:13:51,759 --> 00:13:55,000
look at it and you look at Illinois, and I

275
00:13:55,039 --> 00:13:57,639
do like Illinois too, you know, but again we don't

276
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:01,559
know what they did. You know, Beilima is in his

277
00:14:01,639 --> 00:14:05,120
fifth year. You have Altmeyer, So you have a quarterback

278
00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:09,000
who last year completed sixty sixty one percent a great

279
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,080
twenty two and sixth ratio. The year before he had

280
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,840
a thirteen to ten ratio. So it's rare to have

281
00:14:14,919 --> 00:14:17,559
a third year starting quarterback. And that's part of the

282
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,639
reason I do like them.

283
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 4: Here.

284
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:22,159
Speaker 3: One thing that does concern me is their O line.

285
00:14:22,559 --> 00:14:24,600
I mean, yes, they rushed for two hundred yards, but

286
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:27,600
they were sacked three times. I mean, you look at

287
00:14:27,679 --> 00:14:32,399
Altmeyer's numbers. That's that's a poor offensive line performance. On

288
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,720
the duke side, you know. Beating Elon, they did what

289
00:14:35,759 --> 00:14:38,320
they had to do, you know, a five forty eight

290
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,039
to two seventy five yard edge.

291
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 4: My power ratings have this at.

292
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:48,559
Speaker 3: Illinois minus four. What I do like about Illinois and

293
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,200
if I had to use a opinion on this game,

294
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,919
it's clearly going to be a lean. Last year, remember

295
00:14:54,919 --> 00:14:58,600
this Illoy team only lost three games. They went to Nebraska,

296
00:14:58,679 --> 00:15:01,320
they win by seven, They got at Penn State. They

297
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,080
only lose twenty one to seven. Not a bad performance.

298
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,279
They got out gained by one hundred and fifty five yards.

299
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,799
They go to Oregon, they put up three hundred yards,

300
00:15:08,799 --> 00:15:10,039
get out gained by two hundred.

301
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 4: You've got a Rutgers you win. You got a Northwestern

302
00:15:12,399 --> 00:15:12,679
you win.

303
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:16,279
Speaker 3: You beat South Carolina in the Bowl as a starting

304
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:18,360
quarterback in your second year, and you could go on

305
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:21,080
the road and get quality road wins. Now you're coming

306
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,679
back for a third season. That's the type of team

307
00:15:23,759 --> 00:15:26,320
I want to back early in the season. You know,

308
00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:30,320
versus Menza is a new starting quarterback. Last year they

309
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:34,159
had Murphy. Murphy passed for almost three thousand yards of

310
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:38,519
twenty six twelve ratio, better defense, better team.

311
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,399
Speaker 4: Overall, much better quarterback.

312
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:42,759
Speaker 3: Clearly has me the edge even if they're on the road,

313
00:15:42,799 --> 00:15:44,639
because he proved to me last year he can get

314
00:15:44,639 --> 00:15:45,240
the job done.

315
00:15:46,279 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 2: Sean, I'm gonna give you an option here if you

316
00:15:49,039 --> 00:15:51,200
think that this line is too short as well on

317
00:15:51,279 --> 00:15:53,720
Illinois Duke or We also have a question in the

318
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,919
chat here. I believe it was ge Hurt said, can

319
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,519
anyone explain why you and c is on a two

320
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:03,600
touchdown favorite this week. Look, I know Charlotte was absolutely

321
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:07,440
atrocious against app State. Did you watch North Carolina Monday night?

322
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,000
I don't think a lot of people are running to

323
00:16:10,039 --> 00:16:13,919
the window to bet fight. And Bill Belichick's uh it

324
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,320
was great first drive and then the rest of the game,

325
00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:19,799
Well they talk really bad. So what do you think here? Well,

326
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,039
what surprise? What line surprise? Should ill surprise you more?

327
00:16:23,399 --> 00:16:26,720
Illinois being your favorite too? Or North Carolina under two

328
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,879
touchdowns to Charlotte.

329
00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:30,639
Speaker 1: I would say at first glance, when looking at, you know,

330
00:16:30,679 --> 00:16:32,720
the games, trying to figure out what's gonna make my

331
00:16:32,799 --> 00:16:35,200
card and what's not. You know, at first glance, the

332
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,679
Illinois duke being low was kind of my first surprise.

333
00:16:38,799 --> 00:16:41,279
But you know, looking under the hood and looking at

334
00:16:41,279 --> 00:16:44,519
how these teams played previously, I agree with everything that

335
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,879
Ralph says. They have a much better quarterback. I think

336
00:16:46,879 --> 00:16:49,200
they have a better defense as well. So I do

337
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,720
think that it's a little bit tight for my liking.

338
00:16:51,759 --> 00:16:53,759
It didn't make my card, But if I was gonna

339
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,120
lay anything on that game, I would lay the three

340
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,000
or even the three and a half on Illinois. And

341
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,160
I think you're spot on. I actually wasn't surprised at

342
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,920
all looking at the minus thirteen and a half with

343
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,400
the Charlotte North Carolina they just outside of that first

344
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,799
possession from North Carolina, they just looked abysmal the entire

345
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:16,319
game on both sides of the ball. Just I mean,

346
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,559
there's not a lot other than it's Bill Belichick and

347
00:17:19,559 --> 00:17:22,079
what he did with the Patriots. As far as are

348
00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:25,720
they going to bounce back even though it's a weak team.

349
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:28,960
You know, yeah, they'll probably get the win, but are

350
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,359
they going to cover two touchdowns? They made a lot

351
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:34,319
of mistakes last week, and I don't see them ironing

352
00:17:34,319 --> 00:17:36,200
them out, even with Belichick as coach.

353
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously a short week doesn't help either. Ralph, you

354
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,799
have some thoughts here on this set car Heels State battle.

355
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: I do.

356
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,519
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna say this. I mentioned this last week

357
00:17:45,559 --> 00:17:47,960
on the show, Brian. I don't use my power ratings

358
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,359
to at least week three. I still update him every

359
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,200
week to get an idea, just so you know. I

360
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,400
have North Carolina as a twenty point favorite in this game. Now,

361
00:17:56,839 --> 00:17:59,680
I'm not gonna get to me. It's my biggest discrepancy.

362
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:02,880
Are perhaps I just completely overrated and at the beginning

363
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,880
of the season. That's why I let two to three

364
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,160
weeks play out, but I have it. But just so

365
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:11,799
you know, I've seen a lot of teams bounce back

366
00:18:11,839 --> 00:18:15,680
after an ugly performance and take it, take their uh,

367
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,759
take their pressures.

368
00:18:17,319 --> 00:18:20,759
Speaker 4: Out on a weak foe. So I'm not gonna.

369
00:18:20,519 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 3: Bet Charlotte at all. I think them being at Charlotte

370
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,319
actually helps North Carolina when you have to have poor

371
00:18:27,319 --> 00:18:28,599
of a game and then you have to go to

372
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,799
class all week, and then you have to you know,

373
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,559
walk to the stadium when you're home, getting away, I

374
00:18:34,559 --> 00:18:37,319
think is a big advantage for me. Which wouldn't I

375
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:39,480
have be leaning with North Carolina if they were playing

376
00:18:39,519 --> 00:18:41,880
at home as a huge favorite, I would be looking

377
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,440
to fade them.

378
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 2: So a big difference to me on the schedule. Yeah,

379
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,599
Charlotte took a lot of money last week against app

380
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,000
State money game. I mean, you would have been better

381
00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:52,440
just setting a couple hundred bucks on fire, because that

382
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,039
would that they were the wrong excide of they that game.

383
00:18:55,039 --> 00:18:57,079
Should the should have lost even worse than they did.

384
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:58,440
All right, let's get back into some of the big

385
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,799
matchups we will. I see the question about Rice, who

386
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,720
is a very interesting team we'll be talking about them

387
00:19:03,759 --> 00:19:04,799
just a little bit, but let's get some of the

388
00:19:04,799 --> 00:19:06,279
big games because we have a we had a question

389
00:19:06,319 --> 00:19:08,440
on Kansas Missouri earlier. We'll be getting to that one,

390
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,400
but let's go to the Syhawk game Iowa Iowa State.

391
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,960
I believe it's six straight times Iowa has walked into

392
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:19,039
ames and gotten the win. Sean. Iowa State has been

393
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,039
very impressive for the first two weeks. They obviously one

394
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,279
in Dublin against Kansas State and then Ralph we talked

395
00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:26,839
about this one last week. It was kind of the

396
00:19:27,039 --> 00:19:29,759
you know, to channel our Innermarko Dangel, It was kind

397
00:19:29,759 --> 00:19:32,079
of it was a classic sandwich spot. Right, They're coming

398
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,680
home off the game against Dublin, they've got this on deck.

399
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,400
They're playing an FCS team. Well, Iowa State handled their bits.

400
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,400
They killed South Dakota last week, so it's a short number.

401
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,960
Iowa State is laying a home here, Sean, they've not

402
00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:49,200
They're own six last six times hosting their in state rival.

403
00:19:49,519 --> 00:19:51,400
What sticks out to you about this one?

404
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,519
Speaker 1: I think one of the bigger things that sticks out

405
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:55,480
to me is, you know, I thought the game in

406
00:19:55,519 --> 00:20:00,319
Ireland against Kansas State was you know, played sloppy both

407
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:02,400
sides of the ball, whether it was Kansas State on

408
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,839
offense and defense and Iowa State did the same thing

409
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,480
in my opinion, So what didn't help out was how

410
00:20:09,559 --> 00:20:12,640
poorly Kansas State play last week. Didn't necessarily help me

411
00:20:13,079 --> 00:20:15,559
and think in Iowa State was you know, as good

412
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,039
or as good as they needed to be to beat

413
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,400
a team like Kansas State at least in preseason type

414
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:25,079
rankings for me, and I think the biggest question marks

415
00:20:25,079 --> 00:20:28,920
on both teams are, you know, the quarterback play. We

416
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,440
see a really well touted Mark Karnowski coming over from

417
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,920
South Dakota State that won two times FCS national champions

418
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,599
He can sling the ball around. He did it last

419
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:43,079
year for South Dakota State in a hostile environment at

420
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:46,079
Oklahoma State throwing for two hundred and sixty four yards,

421
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:49,920
so I don't think the you know, environment at Iowa

422
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,359
State is going to really get to him. But he

423
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,759
literally threw ground balls to his receivers a few times

424
00:20:56,839 --> 00:20:59,599
last week, which definitely needs to be ironed out. And

425
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,640
then we throw an absolute frozen rope on third and

426
00:21:02,759 --> 00:21:05,440
thirteen late in the game. So which Granowski are we

427
00:21:05,519 --> 00:21:07,839
going to get? You know, leading up into this rivalry

428
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:09,319
game or are we going to get the two time

429
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,279
FCS national champion or are we going to get somebody

430
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:16,839
hitting fungos to you know, a shortstop aka the receivers.

431
00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:19,880
But I do, I do really like the running game

432
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,880
for Iowa. They get a freshman running back in Xavier

433
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,400
Williams who is an absolute tank the size of his thighs.

434
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,359
He is very tough to bring down in short yard

435
00:21:29,799 --> 00:21:33,279
yardage carries and also ripped off eleven point one yards

436
00:21:33,279 --> 00:21:36,279
per carry average last week. So I do like the

437
00:21:36,319 --> 00:21:40,599
running game. It should help out Mark Gronowski and he's

438
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:43,039
definitely going to need to improve to beat an Iowa

439
00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:46,000
State Cyclones team. And as far as the Iowa State

440
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,359
quarterback goes, rock O Breck he completed just fifty percent

441
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,079
of his passes against Kansas State. He had a better

442
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:56,839
game last week, but albeit obviously against weaker competition. But

443
00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,559
the biggest question that I have for him when watching

444
00:21:59,599 --> 00:22:01,960
him is he tends to get a little flustered when

445
00:22:02,319 --> 00:22:05,880
he's not necessarily under pressure, but defenders are just around him.

446
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:08,480
And now he's going to face a really stout Iowa

447
00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:11,680
defense that can absolutely pressure the quarterback. And if he

448
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,640
doesn't have a running game to take you know, the

449
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,480
pressure off of him and have a balanced offense. I

450
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,440
think it could be a long day for Rocko Brack.

451
00:22:18,759 --> 00:22:21,720
So for me, the two biggest question marks on this

452
00:22:21,839 --> 00:22:24,400
game are how are the quarterbacks going to play? And

453
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,559
I think whoever plays better comes Saturday is going to

454
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,839
end up winning this game. Ralph, we've seen a interesting

455
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,519
line move here. This has gone through the key number

456
00:22:34,559 --> 00:22:36,119
of three two and a half to three and a half.

457
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:40,240
Iowa State now favored, and he did Is that something

458
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:42,039
that you know piqued your interest or what are you

459
00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:42,519
thinking about?

460
00:22:42,519 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 3: Sayhawk here, that's clearly what you said to start this video.

461
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,440
How they've played the first two weeks Kansas State winning,

462
00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:53,960
But again remember they got a game by seventy yards

463
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,160
against Kansas State, so yes, they win a wins will win,

464
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,240
especially when it's a conference game. South Dakoto fifty five

465
00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:01,839
to seven impressed the hell out of me. But I

466
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:08,000
am a little more concern than my other guest here

467
00:23:08,079 --> 00:23:13,240
because Gronkowski eight to fifteen for forty four yards, you

468
00:23:13,319 --> 00:23:16,960
complete fifty three percent with a two point nine YPA

469
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,240
at home against Albany is a concern.

470
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:23,799
Speaker 4: The concern for me, though, is he left.

471
00:23:23,519 --> 00:23:26,759
Speaker 3: In the third quarter with muscle cramps, and sometimes that

472
00:23:26,759 --> 00:23:29,039
can carry over from one week to the next. So

473
00:23:29,599 --> 00:23:32,279
make sure if you are an Iowa backer you do

474
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:36,559
have a healthy Gronkowski. I will say this, I talk

475
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,119
trends all the time. I rarely have a trend that's

476
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,680
twenty years that makes any sense to me that I

477
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,759
would use. But you want to talk about probably the

478
00:23:45,799 --> 00:23:49,279
most under series in college football over the last twenty years.

479
00:23:49,839 --> 00:23:52,880
This series is seventeen and three to the under the

480
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:57,200
last twenty years. Last year's game was the second in

481
00:23:57,319 --> 00:24:00,519
twelve years to go over the total, and they only

482
00:24:00,519 --> 00:24:03,359
scored thirty nine points. That was because the total was

483
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,279
thirty six. You talked about Iowa coming in here six

484
00:24:07,319 --> 00:24:09,960
straight times in winning. I looked up a couple of

485
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,559
things I wanted to share Brian with our viewers. You know,

486
00:24:14,839 --> 00:24:18,200
we looked at in Week one. I talked about how

487
00:24:18,279 --> 00:24:21,400
people always think having a game under your belt, or

488
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:24,440
a team playing the second game playing the first and advantage,

489
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,039
and it's not so. I wanted to look at how

490
00:24:27,079 --> 00:24:30,319
a team playing a third game against a team playing

491
00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:32,920
their second game. Again, this is only if you played

492
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,519
Week zero. It's the only possible scenario if both teams

493
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:45,359
are FPS teams, the team playing game number two fifty

494
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:48,960
eight and forty one fifty nine percent. So don't fall

495
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,000
into the trap that Iowa State has more experienced. They

496
00:24:52,079 --> 00:24:55,000
played two games. Iowa's only played one game. They haven't

497
00:24:55,079 --> 00:24:58,480
quite figured they're out. Let's also remember that last year

498
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,119
Iowa led thirte nothing at the half and they lost

499
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,839
on a fifty four yard field goal with five or

500
00:25:04,839 --> 00:25:09,000
six seconds left. So that to me is legitimate revenge

501
00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:12,319
if you lost as a home favorite, especially against your rival.

502
00:25:12,839 --> 00:25:16,720
So teams that lost the previous year as a favorite

503
00:25:16,759 --> 00:25:19,119
and now are a small dog up to plus six

504
00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:25,079
one and seventy nine sixty one percent, sixty five percent

505
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,279
against the spread if they led last year's game at

506
00:25:28,279 --> 00:25:33,839
halftime and seventy seven percent against the spread if they

507
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,359
had a lead of a touchdown or more at halftime

508
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,559
and ended up losing that game. I think it's going

509
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,319
to be a low scoring game. I think it's going

510
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:47,119
to be another uh defensive battle that if you don't

511
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,680
purn the ball over, we're only gonna see couple scores

512
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:54,480
per game. But that Grenkowski injury and performance week one

513
00:25:54,799 --> 00:25:57,240
keeps me from making this a client release, but I'm

514
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,359
still gonna give a lean out on Iowa.

515
00:26:00,519 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go. You know, with the line of

516
00:26:02,759 --> 00:26:05,119
three and a half, Ralph, I'm incly to agree. I

517
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,400
might take a nibble on Iowa myself in that game,

518
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,839
especially because, as you said, well scoring that lends itself

519
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,319
to Oneton to take the points. Another underdog that intrigued

520
00:26:13,319 --> 00:26:15,480
you had a question about it earlier is Rice. For

521
00:26:15,559 --> 00:26:18,400
those of you who don't know Rice is they're turning

522
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,799
the clock back. They're going to an option and it

523
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:24,880
worked last week against Louisiana nights fourteen to twelve upset.

524
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,680
Talking about not many points there, Houston is a team.

525
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,039
If you caught the Power five a few weeks ago,

526
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,440
I bet Houston over six and a half wins. Houston

527
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,799
is gonna win this game. Ah. This is a city rivalry.

528
00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:39,240
By the way, Rice, for those of you who don't know,

529
00:26:39,279 --> 00:26:41,319
located in Houston. But I would not be looking to

530
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,640
lay this with Houston. It's plus the points. It's taking

531
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,880
points or nothing for me, dog or passed, so to speak.

532
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,279
With the Rice Owls and their new offense, I think

533
00:26:50,279 --> 00:26:52,599
it's going to take time for opponents a half eight

534
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,960
on this team. We're not out offend, They're gonna slow

535
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,119
it down. What do we always talk about, you know,

536
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:00,880
Ralph option to Army, Navy, you know these the teams

537
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,480
that run these slope you know, triple option attacks. They

538
00:27:04,519 --> 00:27:08,240
cover as underdogs. So I like Rice in that one.

539
00:27:08,319 --> 00:27:09,880
I don't know if either of you have a take

540
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,160
on Rice in Houston here. I think I played Rice

541
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,240
beat Houston last year? Didn't they? That was or was

542
00:27:16,279 --> 00:27:18,799
it two years ago? I remember having a play on

543
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,200
Rice against Houston. I'll look that up and just no.

544
00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: Houston won thirty three to seven last year. Oh and

545
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,799
Rice won forty three to forty one in two thousand

546
00:27:27,839 --> 00:27:28,079
and three.

547
00:27:28,319 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 2: Okay, then of the season, Yeah, that's what I Okay,

548
00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,640
it was two years ago, they upside. I know it

549
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,480
was somewhat recently. Okay, Okay, you know you talked about

550
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:39,319
option teams and slowing it down. This is off subject, Brian,

551
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,359
But I just put a tweet out in.

552
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:46,839
Speaker 4: What bizarro world? Do you have San Diego, State, Army.

553
00:27:46,559 --> 00:27:49,519
Speaker 3: And Utah all in the top ten and plays run

554
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:50,160
last week?

555
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:54,039
Speaker 4: Isn't that crazy? Army ran eighty two plays last.

556
00:27:53,799 --> 00:27:57,839
Speaker 2: Week Yeah, that that and lost, so it might feat

557
00:27:58,079 --> 00:27:59,079
time to go back to the old time.

558
00:28:00,039 --> 00:28:02,839
Speaker 3: They were minus three turnover. So let's remember had they

559
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,440
had to lead, That's one of those things. That's why

560
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:07,880
stans are very misleading. If they had to lead, they

561
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,640
would have slowed the tempo down, ran the pace they did,

562
00:28:10,799 --> 00:28:14,400
probably had six sixty plays because they were minus three

563
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,039
turnovers and trailed the whole game. They needed to press

564
00:28:17,079 --> 00:28:20,480
the tempo to keep scoring. So great point, But why

565
00:28:20,559 --> 00:28:22,640
stance are misleading and you really have to break them

566
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:23,079
down and.

567
00:28:23,039 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 4: Not just take them at their core value.

568
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. Questions on Western Kentucky versus Toledo. I thought that

569
00:28:30,519 --> 00:28:33,480
line was a little big myself, to be honesty. Toledo

570
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:37,480
interesting spot for the Rockets, the presumed mac favorite. This

571
00:28:37,559 --> 00:28:40,319
is a team that went into Kentucky last week. They

572
00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:44,599
took money, Sean, they covered the spread in that game.

573
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,799
Now you go from facing Kentucky to Western Kentucky. You

574
00:28:47,839 --> 00:28:49,480
go from underdog to favorite.

575
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 3: That's not a role traditionally, if you just look at

576
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:53,839
this conceptually, that's not a role.

577
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 2: I'd be running to back the favorite. And I know

578
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,559
they've taken money, but I might if this number gets

579
00:28:58,599 --> 00:28:59,079
higher I don't know.

580
00:28:59,079 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: I might be yeah, and kind of like you. You know,

581
00:29:03,759 --> 00:29:06,920
we've alluded to whether it be sandwich games or whatnot.

582
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:09,480
It was a big game last week and now, you know,

583
00:29:09,519 --> 00:29:11,920
a little bit of a letdown spot facing a tough

584
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,119
Western Kentucky team. So I definitely agree with you. I

585
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,839
do see it up to seven and a half. Actually

586
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:20,000
it just clicked down as I'm looking at it, back

587
00:29:20,039 --> 00:29:22,640
to seven, So I agree with you. I would lay

588
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,599
the points with Western Kentucky. I'd probably stay away from

589
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:29,200
the money line, but that would be wordly questions.

590
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:33,279
Speaker 2: On Alabama, we mentioned Ralph that LSU might have been

591
00:29:33,279 --> 00:29:36,599
the most impressive winner in Week one. I think we

592
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:40,920
might all agree that the least impressive loser Alabama, Caleb

593
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,759
de Boor now has the same number of losses as

594
00:29:43,799 --> 00:29:46,599
a double digit favorite in a season and a half.

595
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,400
In Tuscos that Nick Saban did his entire time there,

596
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:53,200
he doesn't he doesn't look well on the sideline. I mean,

597
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,640
I'm not a body language expert guys by any means,

598
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:58,240
but he just looks ill on the sideline like he's

599
00:29:58,359 --> 00:30:01,480
he's regrets taking the job, and you know, not to

600
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,279
throw it all count his Deep's decoordinator came Womack, who

601
00:30:05,319 --> 00:30:07,119
got a lot of love. He gave up a head

602
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,240
coaching job at South Alabama to be the defensive coordinator here.

603
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,799
Speaker 3: His defense stinks. They couldn't tackle. Last week, Florida State

604
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,440
was getting what they wanted. They just looked like a

605
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,440
tougher team. So it's interesting.

606
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: A lot of people thought Alabama, what was at nine

607
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,119
to one, Ralph we talked for the last week, was

608
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:25,119
a good bet to win the national Championship.

609
00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 3: You talk about guests, you talk about coming off of

610
00:30:28,759 --> 00:30:31,119
bet in just after one game. I do not think

611
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,200
Alabama is going to win the National Championship, and I

612
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:36,319
think all of our fine viewers would probably concur with

613
00:30:36,359 --> 00:30:38,440
that at this point. Is look, Notre Dame lost in

614
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,880
Northern Illinois and want up playing for the national Chip.

615
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,359
They were in the last game of the season last year,

616
00:30:42,359 --> 00:30:45,400
so stranger things have happened. But I mean, is Ty

617
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,799
Simpson the guy? What do we think about Alabama? What

618
00:30:47,839 --> 00:30:49,000
do we think about the Boars?

619
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,839
Speaker 2: It could be a short tenure in Tuscaloosa for him.

620
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: You know.

621
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 3: Let's remember, though, you have Ty Simpson playing on a

622
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:02,119
Power five road game against a pack crowd that was

623
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:03,240
actually very excited.

624
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,359
Speaker 2: Florida State we brought up last week.

625
00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 4: We don't know how.

626
00:31:06,279 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 3: Good Florida State is going to be with all the

627
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,279
transfers they brought in. I talked about the O line,

628
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,599
the experience on the old line that they brought in

629
00:31:13,599 --> 00:31:15,920
from other things. I didn't think they would get it

630
00:31:16,079 --> 00:31:18,279
gelled for week one against Alabama.

631
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:19,759
Speaker 4: I was completely wrong.

632
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,119
Speaker 3: That's why I'm conservative in week one because you can't

633
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:26,480
guess what the portal's gonna do or what the nil

634
00:31:26,559 --> 00:31:27,839
kids are gonna do for the money.

635
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:29,599
Speaker 4: I'll still say.

636
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:35,119
Speaker 3: This, even though Alabama looked that bad SEC teams awful

637
00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:37,240
loss have been dynamite against the spread.

638
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 4: I would not bet Ulm.

639
00:31:39,559 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 3: I'm clearly not gonna bet Alabama, but if you forced

640
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:45,799
me to make an opinion, Alabama would still be the

641
00:31:45,799 --> 00:31:47,880
way I go, even as bad as they looked in

642
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:48,359
Week one.

643
00:31:49,599 --> 00:31:50,319
Speaker 2: Sean, what's say you?

644
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,279
Speaker 3: I mean Ulf, I'll be honest with the part of

645
00:31:52,319 --> 00:31:54,880
me is a little tempted to take the old Warhawks there.

646
00:31:55,079 --> 00:31:57,319
Speaker 2: They should have covered last week in their FCS game.

647
00:31:57,359 --> 00:31:59,200
They did not. That was a bad deal. They took

648
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,559
a lot of money last week. Is this a spot

649
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,279
for you. You see a team off a tear, you know,

650
00:32:05,319 --> 00:32:08,559
they're off a terrible loss. Alabama is this kind of

651
00:32:08,599 --> 00:32:11,279
like Ralph was saying, Hey, let's wait and see just

652
00:32:11,599 --> 00:32:15,079
what the floor is for this team or you know,

653
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,400
I mean, you know, again, two weeks ago or last

654
00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:19,799
week at this time, we were all talking about Bbama

655
00:32:19,799 --> 00:32:22,559
as the possible national title winner. Uh, you know, how

656
00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:24,960
are you looking at? How how much have you downgraded

657
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,160
Alabama over the last seven days.

658
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,119
Speaker 1: I mean as far as he going up against top

659
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,960
teams like we saw, you know, in their loss against

660
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,440
Florida State, definitely downgraded a little bit. I'm gonna need

661
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,960
to see a little bit more, especially on defense. I

662
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,880
thought you hit it right on the head. They just

663
00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:44,839
couldn't seem to tackle and that is a very key

664
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,799
and fundamental thing that you have to do on defense,

665
00:32:48,079 --> 00:32:51,440
especially when going up against talented receivers and running backs

666
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,880
like Florida State showed. I am gonna say take more

667
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,200
of a wait and see approach on Alabama. But I

668
00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:01,079
do agree with what Ralph said. You know, we're talking

669
00:33:01,079 --> 00:33:04,279
about a team, you know, a Crimson Tide team that

670
00:33:04,519 --> 00:33:08,119
is talented throughout, whether that be players coming over from

671
00:33:08,119 --> 00:33:10,839
the transfer portal, whether that be kids recruited out of

672
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:14,279
high school. These are some of the best and you know,

673
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:18,160
highly anticipated players in the nation. They can go play

674
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:24,480
backyard football against Monroe this week and cover what thirty

675
00:33:24,519 --> 00:33:26,799
seven and a half thirty eight and a half, they

676
00:33:26,839 --> 00:33:30,200
can put up forty as far as going up against

677
00:33:30,200 --> 00:33:32,519
that team. But to beat good teams and to beat

678
00:33:32,519 --> 00:33:35,119
talented teams, you have to be on your p's and q's.

679
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:37,680
You have to, you know, take care of your assignment

680
00:33:38,079 --> 00:33:40,480
and not play like I said that, you know, the

681
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:43,160
backyard football where you know you're just slinging it up,

682
00:33:43,359 --> 00:33:45,519
letting your running back, you know, run all over like

683
00:33:45,759 --> 00:33:48,839
you know Bo Jackson and Techmo football back in the day.

684
00:33:48,839 --> 00:33:52,000
I may have just aged myself, but we're still talking

685
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,359
about talented kids that can absolutely put up points and

686
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,920
they can be a menace on defense. But I am

687
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,680
gonna take that same see approach, like Ralph said, when

688
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:03,759
they do face tough teams that will hit him in

689
00:34:03,759 --> 00:34:05,599
the mouth on offense and defense.

690
00:34:06,359 --> 00:34:09,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, think Alabama's got wisconstant up next. I think that's

691
00:34:09,199 --> 00:34:11,840
the game where we all can uh or at least

692
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,039
a couple weeks we can. I think, you know, wisconstant

693
00:34:14,079 --> 00:34:17,599
based on how pathetic they look against Miami Ohio. You know,

694
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:19,519
if Alabama doesn't blow that team out of the water,

695
00:34:19,639 --> 00:34:22,119
perhaps there is something truly wrong and tuss loosive. Guys,

696
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,199
keep those questions coming in the chat. We will be

697
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,159
getting to both Florida South Florida and unlv UCLA coming

698
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,320
up soon. But one of our other marquee games this

699
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:34,079
week that we highlighted the top is Oklahoma State and Oregon.

700
00:34:34,119 --> 00:34:37,000
Oregon's a big favorite here. I said before the season

701
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,199
that Oregon would miss the college football playoff. That doesn't

702
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:40,719
mean that I think they're gonna lose this game. They're

703
00:34:40,719 --> 00:34:43,280
not gonna lose this game. They're obviously a gigantic favorite.

704
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,320
Gundhy did what he did, ran his yap. I don't

705
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:50,599
know if you, guys, Ralph, if that matters for you

706
00:34:50,639 --> 00:34:53,559
when you handicap games, when one coach runs his yap. Obviously,

707
00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:56,039
Thomas we talked just with the game. We just talked

708
00:34:56,079 --> 00:34:59,519
about Bama Florida State. Castiatos ran his YAP for Florida State.

709
00:34:59,559 --> 00:35:02,400
There was no receipt given from Alabama. Do we think,

710
00:35:02,599 --> 00:35:04,000
how are you looking at this one. Oregon is a

711
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:07,679
big favorite here against an Oklahoma State team that absolutely

712
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,960
well wasn't good last year. And you know, I think

713
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,480
we all presume the Gundhy era is coming to its

714
00:35:14,559 --> 00:35:16,920
end in Stillwater sooner rather than later.

715
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,519
Speaker 3: Well, you know, let's remember Oklahoma State was going to

716
00:35:20,599 --> 00:35:23,920
use two quarterbacks for the first few games and maybe

717
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,199
for the first year. Well, now with the injury, Henjy

718
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,079
got injured on the first play or somewhere, you know,

719
00:35:31,119 --> 00:35:33,480
in the first quarter, so Zane Flores had to come

720
00:35:33,519 --> 00:35:36,920
in and he was thirteen of twenty. So now you

721
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,400
have a quarterback playing this game on the road. For

722
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,559
a guy who was expected to take snaps, that's quite

723
00:35:42,559 --> 00:35:45,199
a different mentality for a guy to now have that pressure.

724
00:35:46,679 --> 00:35:50,559
I look at you know what, Gundhy said, Oregon's paying

725
00:35:50,599 --> 00:35:53,000
a lot a lot of money for their team. From

726
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,840
a non conference standpoint, we shouldn't be playing them. We

727
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,800
should be playing teams with their similar budget. To me,

728
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,199
that's a cop out. Guys, you made the schedule four

729
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,400
years ago to say you're not going to play them

730
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,440
now because they spend forty million dollars. Landing came back

731
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,280
and said, well, that's because we're a winning team and

732
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,320
we're used to winning, so I can't tell you what

733
00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:14,960
to do. I actually think that it will motivate them

734
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:17,039
a little bit. I think Oregon's going to prove that

735
00:36:17,079 --> 00:36:18,239
they're a legitimate team.

736
00:36:19,679 --> 00:36:20,119
Speaker 4: Teams.

737
00:36:20,199 --> 00:36:23,039
Speaker 3: By the way, guys that scored fifty plus points in

738
00:36:23,079 --> 00:36:26,519
the opener are twenty nine to twenty two, so fifty

739
00:36:26,599 --> 00:36:29,920
seven percent against the spread. But if teams scored fifty

740
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,599
points or more like Oregon did, they put a fifty

741
00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:36,480
nine against Montana State and they're a favorite of twenty

742
00:36:36,519 --> 00:36:39,480
eight or more. They have gone sixty nine percent since

743
00:36:39,519 --> 00:36:43,079
twenty eighteen. So you get that offense clicking early, you're

744
00:36:43,119 --> 00:36:46,559
a big favorite again. You keep that offense going. I

745
00:36:46,599 --> 00:36:51,519
am going to say this with Oregon having their conference

746
00:36:51,559 --> 00:36:52,360
opener on.

747
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 4: Deck, having to go on the road.

748
00:36:54,159 --> 00:36:57,639
Speaker 3: It's only Northwestern, but again, it is still a conference

749
00:36:57,719 --> 00:36:59,960
road opener on your first road game of the season,

750
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:01,599
and I'm gonna.

751
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,320
Speaker 4: Say Oregon has free reign early.

752
00:37:03,679 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna lay the seventeen and a half for the

753
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,960
first half here, because when you get to the second half,

754
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:12,599
he may start resting those players. If he gets up

755
00:37:12,599 --> 00:37:15,559
by thirty. With the ReConference road opener, on deck, So

756
00:37:16,039 --> 00:37:16,800
I'll go.

757
00:37:18,079 --> 00:37:19,119
Speaker 4: What I feel is the right play.

758
00:37:19,199 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 3: This actually has a shot to make it as a

759
00:37:20,719 --> 00:37:24,400
client release today, So clearly a true best bet for me.

760
00:37:24,679 --> 00:37:27,159
Oregon first half minus seventeen and a hook.

761
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,679
Speaker 2: I like that angle. Oregon's the only side I could

762
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:31,719
look at here Oklahoma State gaining just five point one

763
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,239
yards per play last week, Sean, is it as simple

764
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:36,760
as it? Ralph and I are making it out to

765
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:40,159
be Oklahoma State even bothers showing up in this game.

766
00:37:41,199 --> 00:37:43,519
Speaker 1: Nothing in sports betting is not simple. But I really

767
00:37:43,519 --> 00:37:47,719
hope that this game proves to be with you know, Ralph,

768
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:49,920
you hit it on the head with Zane Flora is

769
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,119
getting the you know, getting the start, but being looked

770
00:37:53,119 --> 00:37:55,960
at and leaned on in his first start. He's a

771
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,719
true freshman that's now going to travel to Oregon in

772
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,639
a hostile environment and obviously a much better defense than

773
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,039
University of Tennessee Martin that he played with played against

774
00:38:08,079 --> 00:38:12,440
last week. And the biggest issue is, you know, obviously

775
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,519
a week opponent that they faced last week. Caleb Hicks

776
00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:19,119
only had two point seven yards per carry on average,

777
00:38:19,159 --> 00:38:21,480
and the team only amounted to three yards per carry

778
00:38:21,679 --> 00:38:27,880
on average. That's a very telling stat line on the

779
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,639
issues that Sane Flores might face going up against this

780
00:38:30,679 --> 00:38:33,480
Oregon team. He's if they keep if they continue to

781
00:38:33,519 --> 00:38:35,719
run the ball like that and really struggle getting the

782
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:39,320
running game going, He's going to constantly be playing behind

783
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,840
the sticks, letting the defensive line in their ears back,

784
00:38:43,199 --> 00:38:45,360
and it's gonna be it will be a long day

785
00:38:45,599 --> 00:38:48,920
if that would happen. And I really like what Dante Moore,

786
00:38:49,159 --> 00:38:52,159
Dylan Gabriel's backup last season, got a little bit of,

787
00:38:52,559 --> 00:38:56,480
you know, learning the Oregon scheme, and we saw that

788
00:38:56,599 --> 00:38:59,039
last week, throwing for two hundred and thirteen yards with

789
00:38:59,119 --> 00:39:03,000
three touchdowns and zero zero pass deflections. Obviously, it's going

790
00:39:03,079 --> 00:39:06,039
to be a little bit of a bump in talent

791
00:39:06,079 --> 00:39:08,239
that he goes up against, but I love that zero

792
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,400
pass deflections stat that Dante Moore put up. And they've

793
00:39:12,679 --> 00:39:15,679
Organ's got a solid running game with Noah Winnington ripping

794
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,440
off six point eight yards per carry last week, but

795
00:39:18,519 --> 00:39:21,840
they also have twelve different players that got carries last week.

796
00:39:22,079 --> 00:39:25,719
I really like that in a college offense that can

797
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,760
really kind of expose their depth chart and get fresh

798
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,840
running backs, especially late in the game when you're when

799
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,360
you're facing a tire defense that's you know, struggling to

800
00:39:36,039 --> 00:39:39,159
stop them. So I'm on the same boat. I'm laying

801
00:39:39,159 --> 00:39:41,480
the Oregon minus twenty nine. I think they blow him

802
00:39:41,519 --> 00:39:44,480
out from start to finish here and if they get

803
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:48,039
ahead early. I do like the depth of Oregon even

804
00:39:48,079 --> 00:39:50,800
compared to the Oklahoma State starters in this game.

805
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,039
Speaker 2: All right, we keep getting questions on un LV UCLA,

806
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:57,719
so let's hit it. I've made my opinion felt. I

807
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,400
think the last two weeks I don't like either of

808
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,440
the coaches in this game. I think did Dan Mullen

809
00:40:02,519 --> 00:40:04,840
It remains me seen. I think Deshaun Foster I don't.

810
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:06,960
I think UCLA's the second worst team in the Big Ten.

811
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,400
I don't want to play either of these teams right now.

812
00:40:09,559 --> 00:40:11,679
So I'm gonna defer to you guys, so you have

813
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:14,679
anything on this matchup on because these are two teams,

814
00:40:14,679 --> 00:40:17,480
these are two fade teams for me in twenty twenty five.

815
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,199
Speaker 4: I'm gonna wimp out as well. Brian.

816
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:27,159
Speaker 3: I just I, you know, to have fourteen first downs

817
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:31,000
and two hundred and twenty yards as a small home dog,

818
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,840
and I think I counted. I think there were twenty

819
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:40,039
seven UCLA fans at the Rose Bowl. Maybe maybe thirty,

820
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:42,920
I don't know the other The other thirty thousand were

821
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:46,480
all Utahs. So basically they played a road game in

822
00:40:46,519 --> 00:40:49,880
the Rose Bowl. But you're going on the road, you're

823
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,840
playing in an NFL stadium. You know, UNLV is not

824
00:40:53,079 --> 00:40:56,480
like other places, but you and LV does. They got

825
00:40:56,519 --> 00:40:59,239
that excitement at home last year playing an allegiant. They're

826
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:03,400
finally starting to get some crowds. But if you're UNLV

827
00:41:03,519 --> 00:41:05,639
in you allowed five hundred and fifty five yards to

828
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,639
Idaho State at home in Game one, I can't bet

829
00:41:08,639 --> 00:41:12,199
you game two. But I also can't bet UCLA. I

830
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,920
will say this against Sam Houston, UNLV ran fifty eight plays.

831
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:23,519
UCLA ran fifty plays. In Week one against Utah, UNLV

832
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:26,840
has run the ball seventy nine times in passed forty seven.

833
00:41:28,519 --> 00:41:31,639
UCLA's run pass ratio twenty eight to twenty two.

834
00:41:32,199 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 4: Under would be the only opinion I could give you here.

835
00:41:35,039 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go, Under, Sean, Do you have anything

836
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,360
on this one? Otherwise we'll go to Ole, Miss Kentucky

837
00:41:41,039 --> 00:41:41,920
in the SEC.

838
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 1: Not much on this one. This was real close to

839
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,960
making my card. I kind of have a rule of

840
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,719
thumb when I have plays that I'm putting on my card.

841
00:41:49,920 --> 00:41:52,960
If I can't put my thoughts on paper and write

842
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,719
up an analysis, that is no longer a play. So

843
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,320
I kept kind of going back and forth with UNLV

844
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,400
and UCLA. Here. I do think we get a better

845
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:06,199
performance out of Nico from that quarterback from UCLA, but

846
00:42:06,679 --> 00:42:10,360
I'm not confident to lay that with any plays or

847
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:11,119
bets on my own.

848
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 2: Ole Miss, Kentucky, let's bring this one up here. It

849
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,559
was on our uh since one of the bigger games

850
00:42:16,559 --> 00:42:19,360
Ole Miss guys. The computers seem to love Ole Miss

851
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:20,960
and had a bit I don't know if you guys

852
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,480
paid how much about what powering you guys at during well,

853
00:42:24,599 --> 00:42:27,800
but I do Ole Miss team that really jumped up

854
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,239
on the heels of blowing out and they went on

855
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,559
a thirty eight nothing run in the half class week.

856
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,360
Ole Miss really to me this year and a team

857
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,559
that I want to keep an eye on because last

858
00:42:41,639 --> 00:42:45,559
year they had the best yards per play differentially higher

859
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,119
country and with all that talent. It was a real

860
00:42:49,159 --> 00:42:51,440
indictment on the coaching of Lane Kiffen that they did

861
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,000
not make the College Football Playoff and why did they

862
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,800
not make the College bobll playoff? Well because they lost

863
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:58,599
to Kentucky last year and now they go to Lexington

864
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,639
for a little bit of revenge. I'm gonna be out

865
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:05,960
my power ratings say this number is short. Ralph, you

866
00:43:06,039 --> 00:43:08,719
talked about Hey, power ratings first couple of weeks of

867
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:13,199
the year. Be careful sometimes they can be misleading. What

868
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:16,000
do you think here, Ole Miss? Obviously they're gonna be

869
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,360
a big favorite because everyone is expecting them. I guess

870
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:22,000
to you know, beat up on Kentucky in a revenge spot. Kentucky,

871
00:43:22,039 --> 00:43:25,599
as we mentioned earlier, money came in against them last

872
00:43:25,599 --> 00:43:29,559
week against Toledo and they didn't cover, so Ole Miss,

873
00:43:30,639 --> 00:43:33,119
to me it would actually be favorite. I'm not somebody

874
00:43:33,119 --> 00:43:36,079
who likes road favorites very much, but this is one

875
00:43:36,159 --> 00:43:39,079
road favorite that I think interests me. In the week

876
00:43:39,119 --> 00:43:41,800
two cards, well.

877
00:43:42,159 --> 00:43:45,519
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give a thirty second rant. And the most

878
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:52,000
overused word in sports betting is revenge. If if you

879
00:43:52,199 --> 00:43:55,400
lose as an underdog, you do not have revenge. Guys,

880
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,159
you're not supposed to win, so quit staying revenge just

881
00:43:58,199 --> 00:44:02,039
because you lost. But as you said, if you lost

882
00:44:02,159 --> 00:44:04,920
at home as a fifteen point favorite, and the loss

883
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,079
cost you in appearance in the championship.

884
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:08,519
Speaker 4: That is revenge.

885
00:44:09,079 --> 00:44:12,320
Speaker 3: Brian, you said you don't like early away favorites or

886
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,039
at all. I wanted to look at conference home dogs

887
00:44:16,079 --> 00:44:18,800
in game two. Now, I'm not one to cherry pick

888
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,480
out a week, but after you play your opener, you know,

889
00:44:22,599 --> 00:44:25,039
when you have a conference game on deck and your opener,

890
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,559
you could sort of not worry so much about what

891
00:44:27,639 --> 00:44:29,559
those game were in stats because you may not want

892
00:44:29,599 --> 00:44:30,320
to show anything.

893
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 4: Game number two. Conference home dogs since two thousand and.

894
00:44:34,039 --> 00:44:38,079
Speaker 3: Three are thirty and forty five forty percent, so the

895
00:44:38,159 --> 00:44:41,880
away favorites are sixty percent, and if you take away

896
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:45,719
conference home dogs of seventeen or more, that number drops

897
00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:49,119
down to thirty five percent or sixty five percent on

898
00:44:49,159 --> 00:44:52,639
the home team. You know Calzada, they were excited for him.

899
00:44:53,119 --> 00:44:55,239
He's an A and M kid. He went to incarnate

900
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:58,679
word for two years. But again against Toledo at home,

901
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,199
he was ten of twenty three forty three point five percent.

902
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,920
I can understand a team playing poorly and not playing well,

903
00:45:06,079 --> 00:45:09,559
but at home and only completing forty three percent against

904
00:45:09,599 --> 00:45:13,880
the Toledo defense and averaging three point seven YPA, I

905
00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,119
can't bank on it.

906
00:45:15,719 --> 00:45:16,760
Speaker 4: With old myths.

907
00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 3: You know we saw them race out.

908
00:45:19,679 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 4: Remember Kiffen does like starting.

909
00:45:21,559 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 3: The season quick last year, seventy two points, fifty two points,

910
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,920
forty points, fifty two points. But then he played his

911
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,159
first SEC game against Kentucky and they scored seventeen to

912
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:34,760
twenty seven and twenty six. So you can't look at

913
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:38,000
Kiffin and say, oh, the first four games of the

914
00:45:38,039 --> 00:45:42,360
season he crushes opponents and runs up the score, because

915
00:45:42,360 --> 00:45:45,280
this is the first time he's had a conference game

916
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:47,960
in the first four So be careful again if you're

917
00:45:48,039 --> 00:45:52,599
using those early season stats that you are delineating that

918
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:55,920
it's a non conference game. Old Miss did give up

919
00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:59,119
two hundred sixty yards to Georgia State. You know that

920
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,320
is something look at. They did only have one second.

921
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:03,960
They did try to blitz a couple of times. That

922
00:46:04,039 --> 00:46:07,559
the defense played well. But I am gonna say this

923
00:46:09,079 --> 00:46:12,679
will not make my card at all. But with a

924
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,880
pissed off Piffin and that Old Miss team and Austin

925
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:20,079
Simmons playing well, and Lacy It running back, and and

926
00:46:20,199 --> 00:46:23,159
I like the defense, and you have Wallace stretching the

927
00:46:23,199 --> 00:46:25,960
field for twenty six yards per carry on five catches,

928
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,960
I'd have to I'd have to go opinion on South on.

929
00:46:29,679 --> 00:46:34,199
Speaker 2: The rebels, Sean, what's the lane train? He's one of

930
00:46:34,199 --> 00:46:36,480
those guys that's not afraid to run it up late

931
00:46:36,519 --> 00:46:38,800
in the game. I've uh over the last couple of years.

932
00:46:38,840 --> 00:46:41,119
I think I got there was a Vanderbilt game in

933
00:46:41,119 --> 00:46:43,199
the last two years. I know he's punched in him

934
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,519
late when he didn't need to really piss me off.

935
00:46:45,559 --> 00:46:48,119
But what do you think here? Obviously he's gonna be

936
00:46:48,119 --> 00:46:51,039
coming and pissed off after what Kentucky did last year

937
00:46:51,079 --> 00:46:55,760
to him. Look, revenge sounds nice, but you know that

938
00:46:56,559 --> 00:46:58,159
we would have all thought all miss gonna beat him

939
00:46:58,199 --> 00:47:01,760
last year. They didn't do they Is revenge overrated here?

940
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:02,880
How do you look at this game?

941
00:47:03,519 --> 00:47:05,599
Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean I tend to agree with Ralph on

942
00:47:05,639 --> 00:47:09,519
that as far as the revenge at least narration goes.

943
00:47:09,559 --> 00:47:12,960
But I apologize I'm gonna kind of regurgitate a lot

944
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,199
of things that Ralph said. I agreed with a lot

945
00:47:15,199 --> 00:47:18,679
of his points. I'm actually not as excited at as

946
00:47:19,639 --> 00:47:24,480
with the seventh year quarterback Zach Calzada leading the Kentucky offense.

947
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,239
And remember this was a game against Toledo last week

948
00:47:27,599 --> 00:47:30,280
was that was ten to two going into the fourth quarter.

949
00:47:30,599 --> 00:47:33,559
So yes, they kind of you know, ran away with

950
00:47:33,599 --> 00:47:35,639
it a little bit at the end with scoring points

951
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:37,679
in the fourth quarter, but this was this was a

952
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,599
tight game. And the fact that a seventh year quarterback

953
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,679
can only amount to eighty four yards through the air

954
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,599
against the Toledo defense and now faces you know, an

955
00:47:47,599 --> 00:47:49,920
old Miss defense, I don't have a lot of confidence

956
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,360
in him. And I really liked what Austin Simmons did

957
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,119
last last week, throwing for three hundred and forty one

958
00:47:56,199 --> 00:47:59,360
yards three touchdowns. He did throw two interceptions to a

959
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,639
week team that he's gonna have to iron out, but

960
00:48:02,039 --> 00:48:03,920
I think there's I think there's a lot to like.

961
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,239
He can run the football a little bit. He's tough

962
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,800
to bring and bring down with this six to four frame,

963
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,719
So I do like a lot about that. Ole Miss

964
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,599
is deep at wide receiver. As we saw last week,

965
00:48:15,639 --> 00:48:17,920
they spread the ball around a lot of people had

966
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:24,239
different catches underneath also, you know, stretching the field downfield,

967
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:29,119
So I like that, Like what Ralph said. Kawan Lacy

968
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,719
had a solid Week one, but he's also backed up

969
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,760
by two solid running backs and Logan digs and Deuce

970
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,320
Alexander that can run well. So you kind of get that,

971
00:48:38,159 --> 00:48:41,280
you know, one two punch or at least fresh running

972
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:43,360
backs coming in, you know, like I alluded to in

973
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,400
the last game with you know, tire defenses late in

974
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:49,280
the game. So I think Ole miss can absolutely run

975
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,239
up the score on Kentucky. And I have no problem

976
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,360
laying the minus ten year I have. I think there's

977
00:48:54,360 --> 00:48:57,679
a lot of question marks surrounding Kentucky. I didn't like

978
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,119
anything about that Toledo game, and yeah, I have no

979
00:49:01,159 --> 00:49:03,480
problem with the minus ten go Ole miss.

980
00:49:03,599 --> 00:49:06,320
Speaker 2: Okay, there you go, the Rebels, the lane train there

981
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,599
getting some love on the program. One more feature game

982
00:49:09,639 --> 00:49:12,159
here on the Rundown, then we'll close out with your questions.

983
00:49:12,199 --> 00:49:13,960
Tell you about what we've got going on this weekend.

984
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:17,800
Over at wager talk dot com. The Border War is renewed.

985
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,880
Kansas Missouri. They haven't played in a long time because

986
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:26,039
obviously Missouri is now in the SEC. Interesting game here

987
00:49:26,039 --> 00:49:28,800
for me, Missouri, I thought they were gonna have them

988
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,840
taking a step back this year. Ralph, I know the

989
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:36,719
schedule is kind of easy, but they were another team

990
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,800
we talked about Oklahoma State. Their plan was the coming

991
00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,519
of the year and give two quarterbacks time. Well, that

992
00:49:40,599 --> 00:49:42,400
choice has been made for them with an injury episode.

993
00:49:42,639 --> 00:49:45,840
They also lost their kicker to injury. That's something you

994
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,239
need to make note of. You know, Hey, a missed

995
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,599
extra point, a miss field goal. That could be the

996
00:49:50,599 --> 00:49:54,119
difference between covered and not covering at this level of football.

997
00:49:54,480 --> 00:49:56,800
I'll be I think the dog is live here Kansas.

998
00:49:56,840 --> 00:50:01,079
They've got two games under their belt. Looked good Kansas

999
00:50:01,079 --> 00:50:06,320
did against Fresno. I would take the points with the Jayhawks.

1000
00:50:09,039 --> 00:50:11,719
Speaker 3: Mentioned Brian, when we were talking about Houston and Rice,

1001
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:15,320
you said it's the inner city. I think they're the

1002
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:17,920
closest or they're just behind Akron the Kent the two

1003
00:50:17,960 --> 00:50:22,719
closest Division one schools. Rice is actually very pissed off

1004
00:50:23,039 --> 00:50:25,639
because this is the final game of the series. Houston

1005
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,400
moving up to the Big twelve. They said, we're not

1006
00:50:27,400 --> 00:50:29,960
gonna schedule you anymore. So we'll see if that little

1007
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,559
disrespect card plays something here. Uh you know, in this case,

1008
00:50:34,119 --> 00:50:36,400
I agree with you. I do like the dog plus

1009
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:40,599
the points. Miszoo is another team that was gonna split snaps.

1010
00:50:41,079 --> 00:50:44,679
What happened Sam Horne on the first play broke his foot,

1011
00:50:45,039 --> 00:50:48,639
so Beau Privlu threw for twenty eight passes. But now

1012
00:50:48,679 --> 00:50:50,000
he's making his first start.

1013
00:50:50,119 --> 00:50:50,679
Speaker 4: Not again.

1014
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,639
Speaker 3: He played almost the entire game, but looking at what

1015
00:50:54,679 --> 00:50:57,760
he did on one side. I wasn't a huge Jalen

1016
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:02,079
Daniels fan, but watching him a little bit against Presno State.

1017
00:51:02,119 --> 00:51:05,320
I did not see the Wagner game at all. You know,

1018
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:09,280
granted you were huge favorites in both, but if you're

1019
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,719
still completing eighty percent, you got a ten point one

1020
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,960
wide PA, you know, you do what you have to do.

1021
00:51:15,039 --> 00:51:18,400
And sometimes people say, oh, they didn't beat anybody, but

1022
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,320
we've talked about some teams that played shitty teams and

1023
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:24,960
still didn't beat anyone by they want. So you have

1024
00:51:25,039 --> 00:51:27,480
to remember that it's still a positive for that team

1025
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:29,840
to get out and do what they did. You know,

1026
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,599
Lance Leopold again a coach that I respect. You know,

1027
00:51:33,639 --> 00:51:36,000
he had a team last year what really impressed me.

1028
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:40,480
Remember they started off last year beating linden Wood and

1029
00:51:40,519 --> 00:51:43,239
then they lost like five or six straight games. And

1030
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,760
what he did to turn it around, beating Iowa State,

1031
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,920
BYU and Colorado and then they did lose to Baylor

1032
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:51,119
in the final. That to me, gives him a lot

1033
00:51:51,119 --> 00:51:55,400
of confidence here to be able to do that Jalen Daniels.

1034
00:51:55,519 --> 00:51:58,960
Last year, though on the road, his only road wind

1035
00:51:59,039 --> 00:52:02,360
was that BYU he did throw for two hundred ninety

1036
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,519
five yards. They ran the ball for over almost two

1037
00:52:04,559 --> 00:52:06,039
hundred and fifty yards in that game.

1038
00:52:06,519 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 4: But I'm with you, I do believe that Kansas.

1039
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 3: To me, I make this line three so to be

1040
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,719
getting this many points with the better quarterback. Yes, he's

1041
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:20,360
marking a first road game, but it's so much different

1042
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:23,159
the first road game of the year with an experienced

1043
00:52:23,199 --> 00:52:27,239
QB and with an offensive line that did impress me

1044
00:52:27,559 --> 00:52:29,760
for the parts I watched it. You know, they brought

1045
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,440
in some new pieces, but they seem to have melded

1046
00:52:32,599 --> 00:52:35,679
very well. They go on the road, wouldn't surprise me

1047
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,880
at all. If you do like the Jayhawks, sprinkle a

1048
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:41,079
little bit on the money line out right, upset wouldn't

1049
00:52:41,079 --> 00:52:41,599
surprise me.

1050
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 2: Sean, it's the dog live here. The two of us

1051
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,039
seem to sure think they are. What do you think it?

1052
00:52:48,079 --> 00:52:48,280
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1053
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,280
Speaker 1: I mean kind of going back to Ralph's opening sentence

1054
00:52:51,599 --> 00:52:54,760
in his segment, I'm not a big on the revenge game,

1055
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,840
but at the disrespect angle. I'm in on that. Ralph

1056
00:52:58,039 --> 00:53:01,519
definitely in on disrespect. Let's right the ship there, And

1057
00:53:02,519 --> 00:53:04,760
I hate to say it and be boring, but I'm

1058
00:53:04,760 --> 00:53:07,679
gonna agree as well. I really liked what Jalen Daniels

1059
00:53:07,719 --> 00:53:10,480
has done through his two games. Like Ralph alluded to

1060
00:53:10,519 --> 00:53:14,679
an eighty percent completion rate seven and one touchdown interception rate.

1061
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:17,239
But also he's got eleven carries on the season with

1062
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:20,480
the five point nine yards per carry average, so he

1063
00:53:20,519 --> 00:53:24,119
can still move the chains with his legs if the

1064
00:53:24,159 --> 00:53:27,039
secondary kind of gives them the you know, turnaround Manda

1065
00:53:27,079 --> 00:53:30,639
Man defense and the pocket break breaks down. So I

1066
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,440
like that. But also I think a thing that kind

1067
00:53:34,440 --> 00:53:38,119
of really kind of leans into how much Jalen can

1068
00:53:38,159 --> 00:53:41,159
spread the ball around is and Week zero can pick it.

1069
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:45,360
For Kansas had seventy seven yards with two touchdowns, was

1070
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:49,599
their leading receiver, and he gave way to Emmanuel Henderson

1071
00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:52,199
in Week one, who had one hundred and thirty yards,

1072
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:56,000
six catches and two touchdowns. So you know, defenses can't

1073
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,559
necessarily try and take one receiver out of the game

1074
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,000
when other receivers are up and the quarterback is more

1075
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,159
than confident and kind of spreading that ball around and

1076
00:54:05,199 --> 00:54:08,679
not leaning on his safety net if he will, So

1077
00:54:09,039 --> 00:54:11,920
I do like that they're gonna have to I would

1078
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,440
say help out a little bit more in the running game.

1079
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:16,920
They didn't do much throughout the first two games, but

1080
00:54:17,639 --> 00:54:20,559
I really like what Jalen Daniels in this receiver corps

1081
00:54:20,599 --> 00:54:22,519
can do. I think they can put up points in

1082
00:54:22,559 --> 00:54:24,920
a hurry, but I think they can also make up

1083
00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:27,039
points later if they get a little bit of help

1084
00:54:27,039 --> 00:54:31,679
on defense. And I think the big question mark about Missouri.

1085
00:54:32,119 --> 00:54:35,760
I actually I did like what the transfer from Penn

1086
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:38,559
State did at quarterback twenty three of twenty eight two

1087
00:54:38,639 --> 00:54:40,880
hundred and eighty three yards, but he also ran for

1088
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,199
sixty five yards on the ground, so he also has

1089
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:47,239
that dual threat type of mentality and or pressure for

1090
00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:53,199
the defense. But the running back transferring from University of Monroe, Yes,

1091
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,760
he is talented, but he ripped off one hundred yards

1092
00:54:56,800 --> 00:54:58,679
on the ground last week. But he also did it

1093
00:54:58,679 --> 00:55:02,639
against Central Arkansas, a very similar team to what University

1094
00:55:02,679 --> 00:55:06,360
of Monroe plays throughout his career. So I do kind

1095
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,960
of have a little bit more question marks about the

1096
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:12,320
Missouri running back Hardy as far as what he's gonna

1097
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:16,639
do against a better defense. But again, everything kind of

1098
00:55:16,639 --> 00:55:19,800
goes back to the way Jalen Daniels is playing. I like,

1099
00:55:20,119 --> 00:55:21,920
I just think he's gonna put up a lot of points.

1100
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,880
So I went team total over twenty one.

1101
00:55:24,840 --> 00:55:25,400
Speaker 4: And a half.

1102
00:55:25,639 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: Even if they get down, I think he can put

1103
00:55:28,079 --> 00:55:29,360
up points late in the game.

1104
00:55:30,599 --> 00:55:33,079
Speaker 2: All right, there, you have a lot of Kansas love

1105
00:55:33,119 --> 00:55:36,119
here on the panel. Titan Cet in the chat sharing

1106
00:55:36,199 --> 00:55:40,000
his card Kansas Duke Iowa fiks the dogs will we

1107
00:55:40,119 --> 00:55:42,280
bark in there? I'm gonna throw another early dog at

1108
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:46,400
you here. I like Baylor against SMU. Baylor cannot possibly

1109
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,079
be as bad as they were against Auburn. That was

1110
00:55:49,079 --> 00:55:51,800
a very frustrating game. I don't know what the Arranda

1111
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,199
was doing on defense. He was just letting Jackson Arnold

1112
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:58,280
just run right through, like yeah, I mean, Dave scoot

1113
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,119
somebody up. They were just taking which game. That was terrible?

1114
00:56:01,119 --> 00:56:03,679
What were you thinking? I will say this about SMU.

1115
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,199
They played an East Texas A and M team last

1116
00:56:06,199 --> 00:56:10,000
week that was obviously overmatched. SMU only had a forty

1117
00:56:10,079 --> 00:56:12,639
nine yard edge in total yards of that game. The

1118
00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,440
Mustang's got a pair of pick sixes, one of them

1119
00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,400
a ninety five yard or that obviously totally changes the

1120
00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:21,480
complexion of the game. Also, East Texas A and M,

1121
00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:23,480
in addition to throwing the ninety five yard pick six,

1122
00:56:23,679 --> 00:56:27,320
fumbled inside SMU's five yard line. So I think Baylor

1123
00:56:27,679 --> 00:56:31,320
is another live dog. Early we have some question we

1124
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,039
had a question earlier. We have to talk about South

1125
00:56:33,039 --> 00:56:36,119
Florida and Florida. South Florida. Obviously they were the right

1126
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,880
side against Boise Ralph, but I'm gonna say this, that

1127
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:42,039
was another situation where turnovers really dictated the outcome. They

1128
00:56:42,039 --> 00:56:44,000
were plus three in a game the total yardage was

1129
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:44,519
pretty even.

1130
00:56:48,280 --> 00:56:51,400
Speaker 3: Deph. You know, we talked about this game last week

1131
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:56,119
and I picked USF. Remember we said Byron Brown started

1132
00:56:56,119 --> 00:56:57,840
two years ago and he was a stud. He got

1133
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,559
hurt last year and the offense completely fell apart. So

1134
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,519
what they did offensively didn't surprise me. But remember, plus

1135
00:57:04,559 --> 00:57:07,320
three turnovers, they got out gained three seventy two to

1136
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:11,840
three seventy eight. So the score, the score of thirty

1137
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:14,199
four to seven is does not play out the way

1138
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,679
the game played out. But the more I looked at it,

1139
00:57:18,239 --> 00:57:21,159
I then thought I was gonna like the over. You know,

1140
00:57:21,440 --> 00:57:23,400
they but they then I looked at USF and they

1141
00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,679
only ran fifty three plays. But again, remember, if you

1142
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:29,239
keep getting the ball turned over and you're scoring defensive

1143
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,519
touchdowns and you have the short field, you don't have

1144
00:57:31,599 --> 00:57:34,400
to run many plays because you have so many points.

1145
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:38,440
So again I'm misleading with that. I really don't have

1146
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,880
an opinion. I'll throw out the stat again. Teams off

1147
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:46,360
a week one win as a dog are only thirty

1148
00:57:46,400 --> 00:57:50,239
two percent in game two, so don't overreact. Even though

1149
00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,519
I like Byron Brown and I like USF, playing as

1150
00:57:53,519 --> 00:57:57,239
floored is a different scenario. So there's there's nothing I

1151
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,599
want to even give out on this game, because I

1152
00:57:59,599 --> 00:58:01,840
wouldn't bet a penny on this game on either side

1153
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:02,320
or total.

1154
00:58:02,559 --> 00:58:03,679
Speaker 2: So I will throw it to.

1155
00:58:03,679 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 3: My esteem colleague to see if he can give you

1156
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:06,880
guys some betting advice.

1157
00:58:07,119 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 2: Okay, Sean, anything on this floor of Floridian Battle here

1158
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:22,880
you're muted, Sean, you see never sound better? Honestly, do

1159
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:23,440
you guys.

1160
00:58:23,239 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: Get all that? Everything? Good?

1161
00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:25,480
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah?

1162
00:58:26,559 --> 00:58:29,079
Speaker 4: The league you called that you called for that play,

1163
00:58:29,119 --> 00:58:29,760
that's amazing.

1164
00:58:33,719 --> 00:58:37,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I called from it from Jerry Jones's box. But

1165
00:58:37,199 --> 00:58:40,000
uh yeah, So I mean I run a small model

1166
00:58:40,079 --> 00:58:42,320
just to kind of give myself a starting point when

1167
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:45,000
handicapping these games as far as the huge amount of

1168
00:58:45,039 --> 00:58:47,840
slate of games that we go go with each each

1169
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:51,400
week and it's gave out. Uh take you know, take

1170
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,480
the points with us F South Florida. But you know,

1171
00:58:54,599 --> 00:58:57,000
just like Ralph said, this is a tough environment to

1172
00:58:57,079 --> 00:58:59,639
go to Florida coming off a game where you know,

1173
00:58:59,840 --> 00:59:01,760
I I wouldn't say it was handed to them. They

1174
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:03,519
still had to win the game, but they had a

1175
00:59:03,559 --> 00:59:05,480
lot of breaks go their way like you, like you

1176
00:59:05,559 --> 00:59:09,840
had alluded to obviously didn't make my card. If I

1177
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:11,639
were going to make a play, I would take the

1178
00:59:11,639 --> 00:59:14,400
points with South Florida and kind of hold my nose

1179
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:18,199
hope that it's close late. But yeah, going to Florida,

1180
00:59:18,320 --> 00:59:22,159
going to play the Gators at home after playing Boise

1181
00:59:22,199 --> 00:59:26,280
State with just kind of like I said, not given

1182
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:30,440
to them, but kind of at least assisted by the

1183
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,119
Poise State football team in that win last week for

1184
00:59:33,199 --> 00:59:34,000
the Bulls.

1185
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:36,119
Speaker 2: Boyd and stay'd also a sleep at the wheel on

1186
00:59:36,159 --> 00:59:38,519
that bake pun as well. How they did not recognize

1187
00:59:38,519 --> 00:59:41,760
that was the backup quarterback in is coaching mal practice

1188
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,000
last game I'll just take Yukon Syracuse.

1189
00:59:44,519 --> 00:59:46,039
Speaker 4: Let me let me tep in one point, Brian.

1190
00:59:46,159 --> 00:59:50,639
Speaker 3: Sorry, you guys, if you follow USF. If Byron Brown

1191
00:59:50,760 --> 00:59:53,400
has any type of injury, make sure it's probably your

1192
00:59:53,440 --> 00:59:56,719
biggest downgrade of any player in college football. Twenty four

1193
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,639
passes and fourteen runs last week. The rest of the

1194
00:59:59,679 --> 01:00:03,280
team combined for fourteen runs. Two years ago when he

1195
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:07,159
played full time, four hundred and twenty seven passes, and

1196
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,000
he was the leading rusher with two hundred and three carries,

1197
01:00:10,119 --> 01:00:12,239
the running back at one hundred and eight carries.

1198
01:00:12,280 --> 01:00:16,079
Speaker 2: So keep that in mind moving forward for USF. Excellent

1199
01:00:16,079 --> 01:00:18,280
point on USF. I know we all monitored his status,

1200
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,239
Brown status going to that bowl game last year. On

1201
01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,239
Christmas Eve, you wound up not playing and we all

1202
01:00:22,239 --> 01:00:24,719
were thought it was over, and then what a wild

1203
01:00:24,719 --> 01:00:27,119
finish that was. I remember convulsing in my bed on

1204
01:00:27,239 --> 01:00:31,000
Christmas Eve, like any good father was anyway, all right,

1205
01:00:31,559 --> 01:00:35,119
Yukon Syracuse, Yukon is better this year. Syracuse is worse.

1206
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,440
Yukon played Syracuse close last year. Money has come in

1207
01:00:38,599 --> 01:00:42,599
on the Huskies. I would concur with that. I want

1208
01:00:42,639 --> 01:00:44,400

1209
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,320
