Speaker 1: All Star Toyota presents Off the Bench with Jacob Hester
and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Okay, here we go where.
Speaker 1: The plays get broken down and science gets denied. I
got to come up to bitch hour two of Off
the Bench live from the Raising Kine Studio.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back in. It is otb our number
two here live from Rouse's on Burbank and Lee. Do
you want to give a shout out to a couple
of LSU teams, the first one being LSU soccer. The
Tigers take down Mississippi State to advance to the SEC
Championship game. They win three to one over Mississippi State,
So shout out to Coashawn Hudson and the squad. Also
another shout out Kim Moulk and the Tigers. Well, they
had a pretty offensive night in the p MAC last night.
They beat Southeastern Louisiana one fifteen to twenty.
Speaker 3: Six, one one five to six. Okay, good we won.
When I who is the team?
Speaker 2: Uh? Southeastern? Yeah? All right? Good tries? Good tries? Yeah?
And uh, thirteen of the twenty six came in the
fourth quarter.
Speaker 3: I got some basketball and women's basketball. There's a pretty
big gap.
Speaker 2: Between the good ones and the not so good ones.
At halftime it was sixty one to six, sixty one
for the Tigers, six for the Lions. Sorry, Tje, what's up? Yeah?
Speaker 3: All right, good, we got a good squad. What's the
point in that game?
Speaker 2: In state game? Like, yeah, but you're not getting any better?
Well you ramp up, ramp up to.
Speaker 3: What I would say, that gets you worse than just
scrimmage in yourself.
Speaker 2: Nah? All right, Southeast was one to no coming into
the game. Did elis Did we get worse yesterday?
Speaker 4: No?
Speaker 2: Didn't got better?
Speaker 3: I think so if you're either getting better or you're
getting worse, you ain't saying the same. Look, so we
got better in your opinion, Yeah, they got better than practice. Yeah,
play a game. Okay, I would say we got worse
because that's coaches talking. That's what coaches always tell you.
I never believed them. But you're either getting better you're
getting worse.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, coming up on their schedule, Okay, they're going
to face the number seven team in the country, twenty
four team in the country nineteen four, six, four, two,
twelve and eight.
Speaker 3: So don't worry. Okay, they left leevorre opportunities. I wouldn't
I know they're going to play good teams. I get that.
I just made one simple comment. Did they get better,
they get worse? They got better? Shoutoutsch got better? Went
about eighty nine points?
Speaker 2: Ye, can't help the other team didn't play good. You're
the reason they played bad. Oh my gosh. So I
don't know if the Saints have scored eighty nine points
all year. As we transition to New Orleans, Saints talk
want to do that? Yeah, getting ready to take on
the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 3: All right, Panthers winning record.
Speaker 2: Pers.
Speaker 3: I think they had one hundred yards passing against the
Packers and beat them.
Speaker 2: The Saints did make a roster move, Rodrick guessima Is
added to their active roster. Was with Denver played a
Notre dame. You've probably got a lot of his rookie cards. Actually,
sure the reason why?
Speaker 3: You know, purple shocks and bass cards. Yeah, yeah, I
knew that name.
Speaker 2: Sounded familiar when you said it, yep. I actually I
was surprised he got to let go in Denver. I
thought he had a couple of moments. But they signed JK. Dobbins.
They drafted Harvey out of U C F and so
he was.
Speaker 3: You think it'll be as productive as the other Denver
Bronco we got on the roster.
Speaker 2: Now, I don't know that you can expect thirty nine
yards from him. I mean they as right at forty yards.
My guy, I mean, were you kidding me? Yeah, okay, Yeah,
he's gonna go for it.
Speaker 3: He's gonna double that number this week. Okay, that's Panthers.
Speaker 2: Yep. Yeah. The running back room, which felt like it
was a pretty good strength in training camp. You had ak,
you had Clyde, you had Cam Akers, you had Devin Neil,
you had Kendre Miller. Felt like a good strength for you.
And then all of a sudden, it's like Kansas City,
you let go of Clyde. I think Cam, I think
Cam's back, got he in La, He's he's with someone. Okay,
Kendre gets hurt. So like this running back room that
you thought was actually gonna have some pretty good depth,
Like you move on from some players and then kN
Dre is out for the year, and all of a sudden.
Speaker 3: It's like you got yep out and Kamara is like
a shadow of himself right down a little bit too.
So yeah, all right, this is I mean, you get
a guy.
Speaker 2: Was he now? Was he released? He was a straight
cut from Denver? Yeah? Yeah? And was he a waiver move? No,
he's been he's been. Uh he's been out for a minute.
Yeah all right, Well I feel all right. But we
got shuck spark. We got that spark.
Speaker 3: But like the like is it's this is one of
those games that you had to have circled at the
beginning of the season. That was one of the one
of the.
Speaker 2: Games that any of the games against Panthers that the
Saints could pull off, and they still can. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Uh, it's just because they beat the Packers doesn't mean
they're a good football team. Just because they have a
winning record doesn't mean they're a good NFL football team.
They've won some games that they probably shouldn't have. They've
listened games, and good.
Speaker 2: Teams find a way and bad teams find a way.
Don't listen to this man. Good teams find a way
to win games, and bad teams find a way to lose.
I'm just a little bitter from the pack I can
tell to them they handed in that game. Okay.
Speaker 3: I think the Saints might pick Bryce Young off four
times this week. Good Chuck might throw for one hundred
and forty five yards, no touchdowns, one interception, but win.
Speaker 2: How do you feel about that? How about how do
you feel like? I feel like? How do you feel
Spencer Rattler still has two or more passing yards in
Bryce s Young? He didn't start last Kame, I know
you're serious injury, but yeah, that's just gonna tell you
where Bryce Young is. Uh, the Carolina can run the football. Uh,
if Downell's able to go and he's questionable, they you know,
it hasn't mattered. It's been Chuba Hubbard or if it's
been Rico, they've been able to run the football. Tetero
McMillan has been really good, certainly when you consider Bryce
Young is throwing him the football. Yeah, right now he's
got forty one catches, five hundred and fifty eight yards,
only two touchdowns. Again, offense just not great there for Carolina,
but he is doing his part.
Speaker 3: Lorigo Daldell, he has been playing like the animal this year.
He came out of obviously not out of nowhere, but
like he's come out of nowhere to be at the
level that he has. Like he's been pretty much the
engine that's making that offense. Go, it's not Bryce Young,
I mean McMillan, like he just said, it's having a
really good rookie year. Their other receiver, Lagette obviously not
having the year I thought he was going to have.
But Daldell has kept them relevant on offense, running with
great vision, running with great power.
Speaker 2: Speed, Like he's he's the whole package. He's everything.
Speaker 3: He's like, he's like the new version of the Christian
McCaffrey for the Panthers right now, just kind of doing
everything for them. And there he's putting the putting that
offense on his back as much as he can. And
they've they've benefited from just good, clean, sound football. Nothing
real special, nothing real spectacular.
Speaker 2: They're just a competent NFL.
Speaker 3: Football team that is going to stay in a game,
and if you don't play your best game, they can
beat you.
Speaker 2: They could certainly beat the Saints.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, hell, why did you say like that?
Speaker 2: Dude? Me, you and Cassie could go out there right
now and put on a uniform and be competitive against
the Saints. Yeah right, Well, that end of that score,
it looked like an l s U women's basketball game
score on our side. Uh So, Rigo dalla is uh
As I said, questionable for the game, but he was
limited in practice on Thursday. Typically, if you're limited on Thursday,
it's a good sound that you're playing in the game.
So we'll keep up with that because if he's going,
I take him in fantasy. What do you mean take
him in fantasy? If he's going, it is pretty impressive
that everybody knows they want to run and they still
can't stop it. I know, Carolina, but he's on the
injury report. He's on the injury report, but he's limited
on Wednesday and Thursday.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's fine. That's running backs mid season. They're limited.
Speaker 2: That's true. That's true. I wonder how much longer Carolina
like tries to make Bryce Young work. Hmmm, well, stay
with a winning record, they're just sure. But I know
it's just there's just something that's not there. Now.
Speaker 3: He looks fine. I don't wol never say it looks great.
But he looks fine for a lot. But then like
that one Picky three like it when she says, hey, Matt,
how do I look? And you say fine. Shouldn't love it? Yeah,
I'll tell you that she shouldn't love it. Just wondering.
But he dows that one pick against Lamba last like
in the end zone. It's like he's running fade route.
Those are the corner of the end zone. He throws
it like ten yards into the field. It just gets
picked by the safety on that red zone. Fade route
like that can't happen, like think like things like that.
Just that's not a professional football play. But I hope
they I hope he gets great because I got a
really nice cart of his.
Speaker 2: I got a lot. You got a lot, Well, you
got a lot because yeah Memphis like non Carolina. Yeah,
I got one just for you know, an investment piece. Hey,
you might need to move that while they're five and
four and if they go six and four because they
beat the Saints.
Speaker 3: Yeah, now look they they ended the season playing really well.
Last year on offense, Bryce was playing well. They're gonna
pick it up.
Speaker 2: I did not think that we would be here in
November talking about the five and four Panthers, and even
though one in eight Saints did not have it playing
out this way. But that's where we're at. Carolina five
and a half point favorite, a sixty five point eight
percent chance to win this game. It's gonna be It's crazy.
It's gonna be a tough test for New Orleans to
beat Carolina. I just yeah, even if you'd have told
me these were flipped, I I maybe even believe you more.
I didn't have the highest of hopes for the Saints.
I did not think it was going to be one
in eight. They've given up two hundred and forty three
points on the year, They've only scored one hundred and
thirty eight. That might be the worst point difference in
the National Football League. I would be shocked if anybody
else was worse. Even the Jets look.
Speaker 3: Saints not a good football team even, you know, worse
than we could have imagined. I think. But they do
have that one win. Can't take that away from us.
I think we're all looking forward. Do you think they'll
they'll flex that Jets game in the December flex it
a Sunday night. That's a friends and family game, Bud, No,
that's going to be an electric game.
Speaker 2: That's a friends and family game. The first overall pick game. Oh,
that is true. That's it flexed to see you guess
the first overall pick. That is true. Do you have
confidence that Mickey wouldn't make the right choice.
Speaker 3: No, no, of course not, but it's still gonna be
fun to talk about. Yeah, who's going to accidentally win
this game? Are you gonna the running backs? Gonna be
like running and like taking the at the one.
Speaker 2: I don't know if you get close to good?
Speaker 3: No situation, coach is the first quarter? Yeah yeah, no
mind no no touchdowns?
Speaker 2: But god that you'd have. You got to pay me
to watch that game. All right, we will step away
more ot B when we come back. Your way live

Speaker 5: Like the legend of the Phoenix, all ends with the beginning,
what keeps the planet sinning us from the beginning?
Speaker 2: Come to far.
Speaker 1: From the locker room to the airwaves. It's off the
bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 2: Hello, Hey, what's up? Hi, Let's go let's go around
to I'm saying Stark Man. We were just talking during
the break, y'all. It's tough. It's just not inspiring it
to talk about that team right now.
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's anything left to say, really, right, Yeah.
Speaker 2: I let me tell you something. I despise take tank
for a number one pick talk. I hate it. It's
not my DNA, And I hate the fact that that's
probably where the conversation's headed. Because if you play a
game or half of this, any level, be it peewee,
middle school, high school, college, professional, a, no way in
hell you're supposed to go out there and not want
to win with everything that you have. So if Matt
wants to have that discussion, I'm gonna let him talk
about it. This Matt, this one next to me me, Yeah,
about tanking? Well, you know what I'm saying, like number
one pick game and oh no, I can't.
Speaker 3: I don't even care about the number one pick, like
how many number one picks?
Speaker 2: Like really pan out? But what I do care about?
I mean, do you think Mickey pan out? Has he
ever had one? No Saints? Maybe he's just been waiting
on that to catch us the Saints. Did we talk
about this? The Saints have never had one? Uh? Interesting,
Sam a recent fans, so I wouldn't have known that
you played for him. Yeah, but I didn't like them
when you played for him. I mean you don't like.
I mean you don't like. They're not like a fan
of the team you played for. You just you're planning
to win. Do you like the Backers? Love the Packers? Okay,
I don't like the Raiders, that's true. Well that's the Raiders.
I mean, I'm not a fan of the Seahawks, the Raiders,
the Bills. That's fair, that's Fair's fair. I'm not a
fan of the Broncos. Yeah, that's fair. It's not like
I'm not a fan. I'm thankful for the time. And
you played in Green Bay longer than you played any team. Serious.
Yet I played for the Chargers longer than I played
for any team in my life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hate speaking of the Broncos. Are they the
worst eight and two team? We've seen it in a while?
They won last night ten to seven versus the Raiders.
Speaker 2: The Saints have had the number one overall pick once?
Could they take it? Was the Expansion Draft their first year.
They took slash fullback Les Kelly out of Alabama and
says they took a fullback.
Speaker 3: That's what this says was Mickey the GM Maybe, so,
do you think we had a number one pick? He's
taking a left guard or defensive tackle. What's the punter situation,
backup linebacker?
Speaker 2: Yeah, the other highest pick they've had, number two overall
Archie Manning and number five overall George Rogers running back
South Carolina.
Speaker 3: Okay, cool, sorry, go ahead Broncos Thursday Night football. That's
actually a football game. I got to watch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great uniform matchup.
Speaker 3: It was so good man. The throwbacks this year have
been hitting. I talked about this was my weekend winter
last week was this the throwback uniforms. It looks so
good man, it looks so good. Now everyone needs to
go to that full time. Yeah, it's it looks really great.
It's better, way better than the dark blue stuff.
Speaker 2: But are they the worst eight and two team that
in a while in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're tough to watch. Offensively, they're tough to watch.
They're not a fun watch. Bo nix Is has regressed.
I feel like, yeah, you thought one more year, you know,
going into second year you and with quarterbacks in the
NFL usually see you want to see a big jump
from year one to year two because that's the year
that most quarterbacks can make their biggest jump that they'll
have in their career in the NFL, and you think,
just you know, when were you under Sean Payton, it
would look great. It's just for whatever reason, not clicking
on offense. Their defense is fantastic. Defense is phenomenal, and
they play a struggling Raiders that's two and seven. They're
they're they've been far far from anything inspiring from the
Raiders all year. I mean they're talking about, you know,
is Pete Carroll gonna get fired, you know, his first year,
and they kind of went all in. They brought in
They brought in Pete Carroll, they brought in Gino Smith
like they have they they brought in these parts thinking
that this might be a pretty you know, a.
Speaker 2: Chance this year at least to be really relevant.
Speaker 3: And the Roncas go out and at home they barely
beat them in an absolute defensive struggle, absolute snooze of
a game to watch. Really, Like I was trying to
watch it. There was things happening at the house, you know, kids,
we had a bunch of homework and a bunch of
stuff happening at the house. That's so I didn't get
to like tune in. I just saw a bunch of punts.
I saw a lot of some block punts I saw
special teams was bad. Defense was good? But was it
was it? Was it the result of defenses playing really
well or result of lacklesser offensive schemes, poor quarterback play,
offensive line play. I don't know really what it was,
but it didn't make for a great watch.
Speaker 2: We've had some really great Thursday night football games this
year too, Yeah, really great. Oh yeah, that certainly did
not hit the mark for me. But the Denver Broncos
somehow are sitting at eight and two, one of the
best records in the NFL by and they lead a
division that's got two other good teams at right too. Now,
the Chargers did beat Denver head to head, and so
they would right now if they can find a way
to even hope they would have the tigh record. They
still have another game as well. I think that was
going to be in Denver. But it looks like people's incredible,
don't get me wrong. Yeah, look some of these scorers
that the Broncos have had. They beat the Raiders yesterday
ten to seven. The week before that, they beat the Texans,
who are struggling struggle.
Speaker 3: Bus they beat the Texans eighteen to fifteen. I think
they got lucky on that one too, if I'm remembering correctly,
with maybe a block field goal or something. They beat
the Cowboys pretty good, forty four to twenty four. The
Giants had beat by one point. They beat the Jets
thirteen to eleven. So have they had some of the
most unsexy scorers and unseexy games. They beat the Jets
thirteen to eleven. They beat the Raiders ten to seven.
Now they're finding ways to win, which is a winning
culture on that team. But it's a mark of like,
you know, I thought that Sean Payton being one more
year established bo Nicks a really good first rounder last
year showed a lot of flashes high expectations on him
having one more year under Sean Payton's offense, I thought
that they would be rocking and rolling a little bit more.
I mean, the they trade off their dominant Veley receiver
because they had so that they had such a so
many weapons.
Speaker 2: Take this guy off our hands.
Speaker 3: So I figured they're kind of at least somewhat cocky.
But yeah, but they're playing great defense. They do have
a winning culture, so they're finding ways to win, and
that's what teams.
Speaker 2: Good teams do.
Speaker 3: Kind of like, I guess to go back to the
Saint Star from last night, we kind of like how
the Panthers are finally to win even though it's not
looking good, and the Broncos are way better than the Panthers.
Speaker 2: They don't get me wrong, but I don't know. You
can't give yourself over like it's okay that they beat
the Packers, My guy, it's okay. No, it's not. Yeah,
it's not Bud. Yeah, the Packers when they played good
teams really good, when they play bad teams really bad.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're gonna they're gonna go back to back beat
the Packers and the Saints. I'm a New Saints fans, true,
but your grave right now feels like it they are.
It feels like they're mocking.
Speaker 2: Me out of the AFC. Do you have a leader
in the clubhouse?
Speaker 3: I mean it was the Colts before last week, the
Colts Chargers. I mean, I know, the Bills just beat
the Chiefs, but the Chiefs will remain.
Speaker 2: The leader of the clubhouse until somebody pre third in
their own division. Right now, I get it, I got it.
They just lost the Bills. They've also got a three
Super Bowls I've been there.
Speaker 3: Started. I was like, the well, the way they started
out the season, it was like, man, that bold prediction
is coming right. They ain't making the playoffs this year.
Speaker 2: But still okay because you got Look, you got the
Patriots and the Bills. Then you've got the North and
thankful for them. The North is horrid. It looks like
Pittsburgh's going unless Baltimore makes a run with Lamar coming back.
But you got the Colts. The Jags right now have
a better record than Kansas City. Then you've got Denver
in LA in the West as well, So we'll see,
we'll see. I mean, the Chiefs need to still pick
it up if they want to get there. Yeah, they
do need to pick it up. But this is now.
Speaker 3: We are in November, we are getting towards the holiday season,
which that just means is Chiefs time. I feel like
I know, I know, And like when I started my
quarterback rankings a couple of weeks ago, I had Patrick
Mahomes are the top five, but like like five.
Speaker 2: But they've now they showed one game where I was like, Okay,
that's them. They're back.
Speaker 3: He's doing his thing again, and he jumped up to
one now number two. But in the AFC, I think
until they get unseated, it doesn't matter. If you beat
them in the regular season, Bills, it doesn't matter because
they've been to three Super Bowls in a row, which
is unheard of. Yeah, okay, well we'll see. Is it
three in rows? Five AFC championships in a row?
Speaker 2: They go every year?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you you better keep him out of the playoffs.
Speaker 2: I'll just say that when you look over the NFC
Eagles leader in the East, the North is going to
be highly competitive. You got the Packers, the Lions, and
the Bears all right there together. In Minnesota's four and
four early in a game, really off of those teams
under the Packers had the tie, so they technically are
the leader there. The South at Tampa and yeah, Carolina,
But what about the West. You got Seattle, the Rams
and the Niners six and two, six and two, six
and three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the NFC West has become the best conference or
the best division in the NFC, which is wild because
the North is so stacked. The Packers, who knows who
they are? The Vikings have been fine. They had Carson
Wentz playing. What is JJ McCarthy really The lie. His
alter ego is nine.
Speaker 2: He says when he makes the the game base in
the locker room, he said, that's nine. That's not JJ McCarthy.
I swear to God the number, like that's his number
that he wears. He said, that's that's who that is.
Oh that's nine. Okay, yeah, yeah. It gives you this
feeling when nine shows up. That's what you feel about nine. Yeah, okay, yeah,
that's how I feel about nine. No, it's just JJ
jge just telling you this man said, when you see that,
that's nine.
Speaker 3: Well, anyway, the NFC West, I think the Seattle Seahawks
are the real deal Los Angeles Rams, they're the real
deal San Francisco Niners. I mean, you talk about a
winning culture that they've built. Does anybody sustained more injuries
than they have and sist and just kept on winning
and don't look now? But is eric quarterback controversy in
San Francisco? Yeah, they got former myster irrelevant Brock Party
who's been injured.
Speaker 2: He has had a little turf toe this season.
Speaker 3: Is it one of those things where they're going to
stretch that injury out a little bit, a little soft benching,
Like we just saw with Kyler Murray. Yeah, because Mac Jones.
I mean that guy talk about.
Speaker 2: A a glow up, this resurrection, a little resurrection, a
glow up at the quarterback position, a guy that was
ridden off for dead, a guy that was like, Wow,
this guy's a bad bust. You saw that.
Speaker 3: Pit kept seeing the pictures come across with the bad
body Mac Jones, and the off season was shirt off.
Speaker 2: I mean this, he's still a BBG, he's still yeah,
he is a BBG. But like the guy's playing winning football.
Oh yeah, and he is on my bubble list for
a top a top ten quarterback.
Speaker 3: Then for right now, just because he's winning, doing everything right.
I mean, what a system. Well, I mean, dude, don't
apologize for being in a good offense ever, apologize.
Speaker 2: For that, because you've been in some bad ones if
you're Mac Jones exactly.
Speaker 3: So he's getting an opportunity and like, if they keep winning,
how do you insert a brock perty back into it,
who hadn't played football in two months.
Speaker 2: You can't. You can't do it. You can't do it. So,
like they we've seen this situation play out in the
NFL like tons of times. Now I'm not comparing it
to Drew Blutsoe and Tom Brady because tom Brady went
to be the greatest ever. But that's why Drew bludso
when he got healthy, he didn't get inserted back in
the line up because tom Brady was winning. Yep. So
it's like we can't they didn't know that he was
the gat No had no idea. So you're a player,
second year player.
Speaker 3: So you know if you watch the Niners play and
on the sideline you see Rock Purdy like cheering for
first downs or touchdowns, you can I can rush to share.
He doesn't mean it because he's cheering against his own team.
Speaker 2: Right now, Wait a minute, you don't think this man
wants his team to win. Nope?
Speaker 3: Come on, maybe he wants him to win the game
but not look great on offense.
Speaker 2: Really you think that quarter yard different? All right?
Speaker 3: You've told me plenty of times that you would rather
play the game on a losing team rather than not
play the game on a winning team.
Speaker 2: I want to play because I want to help that
exactly what I just said. I don't want to lose.
But I just Chris, I will say quarterback. I say
quarterbacks are different because like me, and Mike Tolbert wrote
in the NFL and I was fired up for thirty
five every time he had a big run. That's a
different That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: If Mac Jones keeps winning, he doesn't get to play football.
Speaker 2: Okay, quarterbacks, I said, you're different weirdos. All right, we'll
take a break more OTB. Will we come back here
live from Rowses on burbancon Ley, off the bench right.

we talk about our great sponsors.

Blinds dot Com. All right, let's go across some of
the landscape in college football. Will go some of the
ranked matchups that we have. Obviously we'll continue talking to
LSU and Alabama coming up here shortly, but let's go
across the country. How about a game that we thought
certainly would be Hey, probably game day part of all
of the conversation. Now it's still big noon kick, which
you know how they do it in the Big Ten.
They love their matchups before brunch, which is just it's
a choice.
Speaker 3: They loving scrambled eggs and walking into a.
Speaker 2: Stadium that they do, Derek, that they do. Number two
Indiana traveling to Penn State. Penn State three and five overall,
oho and five in the Big Ten, Indiana nine and
oh six and oh in the Big Ten. Yep, pretty good.
Speaker 3: Football teamh We'll look at their last five games here.
Lost Ohio State thirty eight fourteen, Penn State did, lost
to Iowa, lost to Northwestern, lost to UCLA, who loses
to Ucla the Maryland and of course they lost to
Oregon in Penn State and in a great game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we're like, all right, that's a quality loss
right there. So you at least look good. You have
the fan base.
Speaker 3: And they go to LA to play the second LA
team also, so they're on a five game that kid,
and then you kind of look, of course, undefeated Indiana.
Speaker 2: They just beat Maryland. They beat U c. L A
fifty six to six. So if we're comparing, I think
even go back to the Illinois game where Illinois was
ranked top ten. Now, of course they only scored. They
scored like fifty plus on everybody except Iowah, guess Iowa,
same team, Iowa. What we say yesterday, Rinz Wash repeat,
George Kittle, Matt Roth, Jack Campbell.
Speaker 3: Yeh, does Iowa feel like they probably have double digit
players that are playing their seventh year. Oh, they got
COVID probably two injuries.
Speaker 2: They had to take two years off for farming.
Speaker 3: Yeah, two years off for farm and you get farming credits.
I think they're for playing. Yeah, so they got they
they just felt like a team that have multiple guys
playing on their sixth, seventh, maybe even eighth Yearah.
Speaker 2: Now, no, none of those guys are overly explosive. No no, no,
no no, but they are me nasty and tough that
they got concrete in their helmet. O god, Chad Greenway.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's say, all right, so Indiana, they beat Oregon
thirty to twenty, They beat Michigan State, they beat they've
they beat everybody.
Speaker 2: But the Oregon game. Honestly, they could have it could
have been worse than and that was in Orgon. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Right, So from a if you're comparing records and comparing
recent history this game, I'm gonna get out of hand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Indiana likes to suffocate teams when they know
there's blood and water.
Speaker 3: And yeah, you don't anger, you don't have your quarterback,
albeit you have a young, good quarterback playing at Penn State.
You've already had your opportunity for an interim bump. It
didn't happen. So when you don't get that interim bump,
it just continues.
Speaker 2: To slide like dump and oh boy, oh hell man,
what do you try there? We go?
Speaker 3: Okay, so on the bad joke more like crickets. Yeah, okay,
but we know the coach in Indiana likes to put
it on yep, like in once he smells.
Speaker 2: For US City.
Speaker 3: Huh Yeah, we're overwhelming people with sound effects. I didn't
hit the crickets again. All right, sorry, go ahead. I
don't even know what I'm saying. Just to know that
their coach likes the he's not afraid to run up
the score. So this one could get ugly, and it
could get ugly fast.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I like the totals fifteen and a half. I
like the over in this one, yeah by by Indiana. Yeah,
that's their that's their total. That's the actual total of
the game.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one's going fifty.
Speaker 2: How about this one? Number five, Georgia traveling to Mississippi State.
Georgia a nine and a half point favorite on the road.
Mississippi State finally figured out how to close out a game.
They have been so close. They were leading Tennessee, they
were leading Texas with minutes left in the game. They
didn't win those games. They find a way to come
back against Arkansas. Mississippi State. Look, I mean they're gonna
win against Arizona State this year. It's a different Bulldog team.
This is going to be I think a close game
and then I think Georgia pull's way at the end. Yeah,
I mean you would think so.
Speaker 3: You just look at me Smith say, And what's hard
when you turn around a program. You have to build
a winning culture, right, You have to understand how to win.
Every player on that team has to expect to win.
Of course, there's got to be the right play call.
You've got to make the plays. But it's a mindset, right,
It's a mindset of like the winning teams you get
on that find ways to win at the end, they
all have the mindset like you never believe you're going
to lose a game at any point, whether you're down
by one or you're down by one hundred, right, Like
you always have that mindset and like I know, we
go back to like our playing days all the time.
But like in O seven we were down, like we
had so many close games, but like from the mentality standpoint,
we never believe we were going to lose a game.
Right at any point National Championship, we were down to
nothing and we just looked at each other like this
is annoying, this is this is dumb.
Speaker 2: Let's get back on any.
Speaker 3: Point during the Florida game, at no point there is
a mindset that comes to it. And Georgia has that
mindset because they do that. That's the culture. Mississippi State
doesn't have that mindset yet. They're building it. But I
think once that starts, once you start winning, once you
start figuring it out all right, everybody starts working together
and having that belief and that confidence you start and
it's it's just believing that at any point.
Speaker 2: Like we're not out of this game.
Speaker 3: Like I think a lot of times when you're in
a losing program, it's like, oh here we go again.
Speaker 2: Here we go again, Here we go again.
Speaker 3: But when you start that, so, I think at some
point they're gonna figure it out.
Speaker 2: I love what Jeff Lovey and them are doing.
Speaker 3: I kind of joke about it, like him being my
guy at the time, because I didn't know his name
when I first started the show, But like he's doing
a really good job. And they've been in a lot
of games. They should have beat Texas. I wish they
would have. But yeah, I mean, Georgia's Georgia, right, They're
gonna do Georgia things, but they're not the same Georgia.
They're beatable, they're gettable, and Mississippi State has proven that
they can get anybody. They just haven't finished it off.
But they've been there until last week. Did they figure
out something? Did it start? Is it going to start
clicking with them? That beat Arkansas thirty thirty five, we'll see.
I think that's going to be a really good game.
And let's see what's the spread. Georgia nine and a
half point favorites this one.
Speaker 2: I don't know. All right, let's go to number three
Texas A and M traveling to number twenty two Missouri,
Texas A and M six and a half point favorite
on the road in Como. Now, remember Missouri's two losses
three at home against Alabama and seven on the road
against Vanderbilt. And remember they threw a hell Mary to
the endzo like caught on what like the two yard liye,
So they had a chance in that game as well.
So Missouri does have two losses, but two close losses,
both against ranked football teams, one on the road and
one at home. Does Missouri give Texas A and M
a scare and have a way in a path to
win this game? Yeah? I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't want to say this because y'all all know
my feelings on Missouri. They you know, they put Mazoo
with two z's on there. There's no z in the
word in Missouri. I just want you all to know
that zou this has the potential to be a I
don't want to say a trap game for Texas A
and M because Missouri is good. So I don't want
to like disrespect the Missouri football team by saying trap game.
Speaker 2: Uh. But coming off of buy.
Speaker 3: For Texas A and M after you just destroyed, you
just embarrassed, it's going to be one of those situations.
Mike Mike Elko's got a big job on his hand.
We'll see how good they can respond to a big victory,
because it is tough. Sometimes we're like, man, we just
beat LSU. We like we look how good we looked.
We took over Death Valley, we did all this stuff.
Look how good we are. Pat myself on the back.
Then you got to go on the road and play
a really dangerous team that likes that's got a great
running back. They got a great team. Now, I know
they're down a quarterback, but it's got a potential to
be a game where Missouri is gonna have an opportunity
to win it at the end. Now they've proven they've
been in they haven't got blown out. I mean they've
the two losses were tight, they could have won them.
But this is a potential where that A and M
they're gonna have to reset. We'll see how their coaching
staff does with that. I think it's gonna be a
great football game.
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a little bit of an
old school game, gonna be a physical game. Looking forward
to seeing how Amon Hardy inserts himself into this game.
After LSU had some success running the football against the
Aggi's all right, we will step away, gonna continue breaking
down the slate in college football when we come back here.

College football, Yeah, sure, pick skim Oregon and Iowa Oregon
minus six and a half, Orgon number nine, Iowa twentieth
in the country. You like I would to cover when outright,
outright all right, sorry, Oregon, You're just not gritty enough.
I don't know. Have you seen Dan Landing? Okay, pretty
gritty because he does. He put a helmet on, you
can't remember. He feels like a coach at might at
some point in the like pregame meet up, you know,
fair Point. Does he have a concrete head? I don't know.
I know I was linebacker, don't even know who it is.
Probably does, though.
Speaker 3: Thirty three years old gotta be starting linebacker. Three year
old farmer. Thirty three year old farmer.
Speaker 2: Yeah, had the family farm for two hundred years. That's right.
Hey enrolled in college when he was thirty eight. Yeah,
Auburn traveling to number sixteen Vanderbilt Vanderbilt minus six and
a half. I like, I like Fandy in this one. Yeah,
I like coming back.
Speaker 3: I mean they had so many emotional wins week after
week after week they come in and they just they
lay it dude. Man, they lay it dud in Texas.
Speaker 2: And again they did. But like it's made us.
Speaker 3: It's hard to do that each and every week, especially
when you're when you're Vandy and basically you were that's
your secret weapon is being able to out hustle, to
out emotion, to out execute from that level, just like
to be you got to be in it. And they
had so many emotional and it catches up to you.
It's a human it's a humans play in the sport.
And man did it. It caught up to them and
they just hit a hit a bus. All Texas was
ready and uh, but I see a bounce back. I
see an opportunity here, and I I really like Vanderbilting
this one.
Speaker 2: Navy traveling to South Bend to take all the fighting Irish.
Not Dame a twenty six and a half point favorite
in this one. Notre Dame's best win is going to
be against number twenty USC and they're gonna get in
the college football playoff.
Speaker 3: I don't know how you can do it this day
and age, but I hope there's some sort of recruiting
violation that comes through. YEA hope somebody at Notre Dame
gets no, you can't do that anymore.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but tampering maybe, I don't think, you know, I
don't think gambling gambling issues. I hope Notre Dame gets
it with gambling issues. Okay, that would be legit, maybe
seven to one, but keep it close, you know, twenty
six and a half, god like, Notre Dame's number ten
in the country right now. And they lost to Miami.
They lost to A and m. It's we don't have time.
Notre Dame is bad. We got college football off the bench.
