Not going to get too into it, 43 00:02:28,319 --> 00:02:32,080 but that was a great game. How about Michigan State 44 00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:35,280 yesterday winning in double overtime against Boston College. We'll dive 45 00:02:35,319 --> 00:02:38,479 deep it later into that game when we need to 46 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,960 get to it. This Ihawk game is great, we'll recap that. 47 00:02:42,759 --> 00:02:45,280 And yeah, there's just a lot to talk about across 48 00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:49,159 the college football world, so let's start with And by 49 00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:51,039 the way, there will be no guest on the show 50 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,240 today as well. I tried to connect with some people 51 00:02:54,319 --> 00:02:57,560 and times just didn't work out. So don't worry. This 52 00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:00,719 should be the only week that it doesn't happen. Let's 53 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,960 keep her fingers crossed on that. But regardless, let's talk 54 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,120 about Oregon first and then we'll get to other games 55 00:03:07,159 --> 00:03:09,560 as well. But I wanted to point out that keep 56 00:03:09,599 --> 00:03:12,639 in mind Oklahoma State did not have a great season 57 00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:16,879 last year after having great projections with oh, what's his name, 58 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,400 the seven year quarterback? I can't remember, but Bowman, that's 59 00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:22,479 the only thing I forget his first name. They also 60 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,840 had Ali Gordon and other weapons that they wanted to 61 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,919 use as well, and with Zane Flores and you know, 62 00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:33,520 kind of things just not really working out here for 63 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,159 the Cowboys squad and Mike Gundy, it got tough and 64 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,360 there was some stuff talked about through the week about 65 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,000 how Oklahoma States. Mike Gundy said that Oregon, you know, 66 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,919 is paying for a national championship. But in this era 67 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,879 of college football, you know how nil works, even though 68 00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:53,639 it's supposed to be name image and likeness and getting 69 00:03:53,639 --> 00:03:56,960 it through sponsors and not some third party collective from 70 00:03:57,039 --> 00:04:00,000 the school that boosters round up and to pay these plays. 71 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,919 It's just kind of the way how it's gone. And 72 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:05,199 obviously with rev share and other things, they won't need 73 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,080 to do that as much unless penalties are enforced on 74 00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:13,199 the team and this and that basically my prediction of 75 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,439 that all. I think it's gonna come down to. Players 76 00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:18,480 have to join some sort of union or some sort 77 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:24,519 of organization and they will all be paid in terms 78 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,560 of maybe not a salary cap, but they'll be actual 79 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,920 employees and we will move on from there. But I'm 80 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,920 not gonna get into the financial literacy of everything. I'm 81 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,439 here to talk about the football on the field, right. So, 82 00:04:38,199 --> 00:04:45,680 Oregon just dominated yesterday, and while they've played two games 83 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:47,920 that really don't mean much them and then they play 84 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,399 a big noon game next week against Northwestern, which that 85 00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:55,079 game will be on Fox Big Noon Kickoff with Gus 86 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,240 Johnson and Joel Klatt. Twenty eight and a half point spread. 87 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,360 Organ is favored by to open up, but I bet 88 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,120 you could see that game getting bet up to who 89 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,759 knows how much. Organ doesn't play a real opponent in 90 00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:10,160 my opinion. I'm not saying these opponents aren't real, but 91 00:05:10,199 --> 00:05:14,519 I don't think they necessarily face a challenge till Saturday, 92 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,519 September twenty seventh. They played Penn State on the road 93 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,920 in Happy Valley, which I'll touch on Penn State a 94 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,879 bit later in this show because they were on the 95 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,600 quad box. And when you're playing FIU on the quad 96 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,519 box at for more than a quarter, just because I 97 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,759 want to see how you look like, it's typically not 98 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,839 a good thing. But Oregon, I mean, they just got 99 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,759 it done. Dante Moore, the mature approach he took after 100 00:05:41,879 --> 00:05:45,639 leading being UCLA and his freshman season. That takes a 101 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,000 lot of guts, that takes a lot of being humble, 102 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:53,759 that takes vulnerability. It's really just kind of fascinating that 103 00:05:53,879 --> 00:05:56,959 he's able to look at himself and be like, maybe 104 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,040 I need to sit for a year, learn how to 105 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,639 develop behind Dylan Gabriel who was a good college quarterback, 106 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,439 and you know, really hone in on my development and 107 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,399 come out this season and be strong, because that's what 108 00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:12,519 he's been. Twelve point seven yards per attempt with three 109 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,360 tum twins and pretty good completion percentage against a Power 110 00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:18,600 four team. Keep that in mind, and this isn't supposed 111 00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:20,680 to be like a Stanford or a Northwestern or a 112 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,279 team that's really lowly rated in terms of Power four 113 00:06:24,319 --> 00:06:27,519 teams like Oklahoma State not too long ago was in 114 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,720 the Big Twelve championship against Texas in Texas last year. 115 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,480 This seague team is supposed to be pretty decent. Like 116 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,240 I don't think people understand like or really realize, like 117 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,160 Oklahoma State's supposed to be like a pretty good team 118 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,519 like in the Big Twelve per se and they're just 119 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,439 not anymore. And it sucks to see. Obviously, if you 120 00:06:52,519 --> 00:06:55,560 are a Cowboys fan, which you'll be listening to that 121 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240 Big Twelve in West Coast Pod most likely if you're 122 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,279 tuning in, but if you are in Oklahoma State, be 123 00:07:00,439 --> 00:07:03,839 if you're a fan of the Pokes. I feel bad 124 00:07:03,879 --> 00:07:07,560 for you. Things should be better in still Water, but 125 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,839 they're not. There's not too much to talk about in 126 00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:13,399 the game. I just wanted to point out that Oregon, 127 00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:15,839 like the ap pole just came out today. They're ranked 128 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,360 number four. I believe they deserve to be there based 129 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,720 off of what they've shown up. Sure they haven't beat 130 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,759 a great quality opponent in terms of being ranked or 131 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,759 you know, having great like a talent composite, speaking of 132 00:07:26,759 --> 00:07:32,000 that nature. But they are playing good football and obviously 133 00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:35,759 they'll have their test against Penn State. Not saying Northwestern's bad, 134 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,600 but they've looked. Of course, they did bounce back against 135 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,439 Western Illinois on Friday night, and cool story I want 136 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:44,800 to bring up. So Cason Carswell, the Western Illinois I 137 00:07:44,839 --> 00:07:49,519 believe backup quarterback came into this game. Well he actually yeah, 138 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,560 he had the most efficient passes. So the first game 139 00:07:52,639 --> 00:07:57,279 I've ever called in high school football radio for ninety 140 00:07:57,279 --> 00:08:01,199 three to five WHMI, Mason played Fenton and Case and 141 00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:04,639 Carswell as a quarterback for Mason at the time, and 142 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,800 I was like, this kid's pretty good. I wonder what 143 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,199 level he'll go. I thought he was like D two 144 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,079 maybe FCS and turns out he's going to play at 145 00:08:13,079 --> 00:08:16,079 Western Illinois and he threw his first career touchdown in 146 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,160 that game, so I'll be excited to see where he 147 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,160 goes from that point. And obviously you didn't get the 148 00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:24,920 result that you want if you're Western Illinois, and good 149 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,040 for Northwestern because they had a bad week one showing 150 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,600 verse two lane. But I thought that was a cool 151 00:08:29,639 --> 00:08:32,399 story to point out, just me at my young age. 152 00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:37,679 But regardless, Yeah, anyways, next game, we'll move on to 153 00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:42,360 Michigan Oklahoma. I don't think Michigan was necessarily that much 154 00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:46,840 at a talent disadvantage, other than maybe in the receiving room. 155 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,559 I think they just personally got out coached. Venables is 156 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:53,679 now calling the defense for Oklahoma, and with that happening, 157 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,440 he was really able to give Bryce Underwood and the 158 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,320 whole Michigan offense just kind of tough looks all game, 159 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:04,000 and other than a Justice Haynes seventy five yard rushing touchdown, 160 00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:08,639 the offense was kind of immobile the whole game. I mean, 161 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,840 they've just barely cracked over two hundred and eighty yards 162 00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:17,320 two hundred and ninety and they didn't look great defensively, Obviously, 163 00:09:17,879 --> 00:09:19,879 there's only so much their defense could do, right. I 164 00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:23,519 think Matier looks pretty solid, and the thing for Oklahoma 165 00:09:23,639 --> 00:09:26,879 is moving forward into SEC play is that they don't 166 00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:30,799 have a ground game outside of John Mattire, and that 167 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,840 could be trouble unless they really think that Matier is 168 00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:36,879 this Heisman guy, which he could potentially be. There's no 169 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:39,720 reason or evidence to say that he's not. I'm pretty 170 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,000 sure he's the Heisman odds favorite right now, which I 171 00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:46,039 think he will be beat by someone not in the 172 00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:47,559 big tens. So I'm not gonna mention his name. But 173 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,679 if you guess and get it right, want to maybe 174 00:09:49,759 --> 00:09:55,000 at me at Twitter, I'll send you five bucks, yeah, 175 00:09:55,159 --> 00:09:59,080 or I'll do something. But I like, I think Mattier 176 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,240 looks pretty good in this game. Dion Burks. I'm so 177 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,639 glad he's able to return and be a focal point 178 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,559 on this Oklahoma team. And then the defense, I mean, 179 00:10:07,639 --> 00:10:12,360 they really were just able to outclass Michigan's offense and 180 00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:16,039 like Oklahomas only scored twenty four points, and I thought 181 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,360 the defense for Michigan played decently well. I just don't 182 00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:23,919 think when the offense, especially in that first half, struggles, 183 00:10:24,639 --> 00:10:26,639 you're gonna have a tough time, you know, trying to 184 00:10:26,639 --> 00:10:32,720 beat you know, anybody. It's just not how that works. 185 00:10:32,759 --> 00:10:35,600 Like Michigan didn't even score until the third quarter, and 186 00:10:35,639 --> 00:10:37,879 they were able to push it close. But when you're 187 00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:41,639 not able to stay consistent throughout the whole game, I mean, 188 00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:45,759 it's just it's gonna be tough. Like you have really 189 00:10:45,759 --> 00:10:48,480 good field position to get one field goal and then 190 00:10:48,519 --> 00:10:52,559 then it's kind of it. Yeah. I mean, like I 191 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,720 don't blame Underwood necessarily for this loss. I think there's 192 00:10:55,759 --> 00:11:01,240 a receiver problem. They were without Climb this game as well, 193 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,639 so but I mean, like Morgan, he's not been who 194 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,399 I thought he would be. I think mccaulay's good. I 195 00:11:09,399 --> 00:11:11,240 think Goodwin could be a nice piece for you. But 196 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,799 there's things they have to be figured out in ann Arbor. 197 00:11:13,879 --> 00:11:16,639 Now you play Central Michigan next week, and then you 198 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,639 go on the road to Nebraska, which Nebraska kind of 199 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,039 started slow versus Akron, but they really got it going 200 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,240 when they got it going, and I think that team, like, 201 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,240 I think Nebraska is gonna be pretty good, and I 202 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,519 think their defense is still sound to the point where 203 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,360 it's gonna be a tough challenge everyone kind of thought, well, 204 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,399 since Tony White left and there was a decent departure 205 00:11:36,799 --> 00:11:39,399 with the talent on the defensive side, like it might 206 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:44,000 look a little bit less. No, no, it doesn't, not 207 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:51,919 at all. Illinois Duke. How about that game, Illinois like 208 00:11:52,399 --> 00:11:55,399 was playing close with Duke going into halftime andrel Anthony 209 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,440 makes one of the catches of the year, and I mean, 210 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,960 Darien me so looked good for the majority of this game. 211 00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:06,879 The problem five turnovers from Duke. If you're gonna be 212 00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:11,360 negative in turnover differential, you're most likely gonna lose. It's 213 00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:13,879 pretty good indicator when you're box score watching, not that 214 00:12:13,919 --> 00:12:15,799 you should be doing that, you should be watching the 215 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,720 plays on the field. I Illinois kind of struggled to 216 00:12:19,759 --> 00:12:23,000 run the ball, which is kind of not typical of 217 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,799 a fighting a LINEI team, especially with Brett Beilama, you know, 218 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,679 really having an ephesis on the offensive line, you know, 219 00:12:28,799 --> 00:12:32,799 being able to be physical. But with that said, Hank Beatty, 220 00:12:33,759 --> 00:12:36,960 he is that Pat Bryant, that Zakari Franklin, that he's 221 00:12:37,039 --> 00:12:39,039 just a clear cut number one guy that's gonna be 222 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,960 able to get stuff done on the outside with getting 223 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,720 receptions and being a consistent performer. He looked really good 224 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,840 to me this past weekend. Now, he did not get 225 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,559 in the end zone, but he was a big reason 226 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,440 why Illinois was able to get down the field in 227 00:12:53,519 --> 00:12:56,480 a lot of plays. And I'm like, I'm sitting there 228 00:12:56,519 --> 00:13:00,480 talking with someone on Meta frums with Yester. I'm like, 229 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,279 I mean, he looked solid against they played Western Illinois 230 00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,080 last week and I was like, well, that's good. Maybe 231 00:13:08,159 --> 00:13:09,799 he can be their number one guy. And then he 232 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,360 started making catches. I'm like, yeah, he can be their 233 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:18,240 number one guy. There is not Yeah, he's not. He's 234 00:13:18,279 --> 00:13:20,840 no joke. And Luke Altmeyer looks pretty composed for the 235 00:13:20,879 --> 00:13:23,559 most of the game. I was very excited to see 236 00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:25,919 him perform. Well. I think he's one of the most 237 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,440 underrated quarterbacks in the country that doesn't get enough credit 238 00:13:29,799 --> 00:13:32,200 just because Oh, I was playing at Illinois and you know, 239 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,600 last season they were good and this year, I mean 240 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,919 two and oh ranked in the top ten. Like that's 241 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,600 not a normal for Illinois football. Now it could be 242 00:13:41,039 --> 00:13:44,799 in the coming years, but like typically Illinois football is like, hey, yeah, 243 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,960 we're in middle of the pack big ten teams. Sometimes 244 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,080 on the lower end. Sometimes you know, we're in that 245 00:13:49,159 --> 00:13:52,120 eight nine winsier Like I thought when they had Witherspoon 246 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:56,039 and Chase Brown, Tommy DeVito, like I thought they were 247 00:13:56,039 --> 00:13:59,440 gonna be like a decent football team, but no, like 248 00:13:59,639 --> 00:14:02,320 just for season, like they were cool. They challenged Michigan 249 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,159 to the end like they were good, and then they 250 00:14:05,159 --> 00:14:08,320 had a little bit of a drop, and then they're 251 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,240 now back up and it looks like they want to 252 00:14:10,279 --> 00:14:14,120 stay here. So I think Illinois is just like one 253 00:14:14,159 --> 00:14:16,879 of those teams that you're gonna continue to see around 254 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,480 in the Big Ten. They play was Western Illan or 255 00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:23,399 not Western Illinois? Sorry, they already played Western Illinois Western Michigan. 256 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,360 Next week that game will be a night game, as 257 00:14:26,519 --> 00:14:29,519 they will take on a team from the MAC. The 258 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,399 last big game we will touch on Michigan State Boston College. 259 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,639 I promise I'll watch. I paid pretty attention, good attention 260 00:14:37,759 --> 00:14:41,120 to that game, the Syhawk game. The thing I was 261 00:14:41,159 --> 00:14:45,879 disappointed most with Iowa is one Gronowski had a lot 262 00:14:45,919 --> 00:14:49,759 of plays where he had time. I wasn't disappointed in 263 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,440 any fact with how he played. I don't think Iowa 264 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,120 State really got like that much pressure, and the only 265 00:14:57,159 --> 00:14:59,159 times they really got sacks was when he was out 266 00:14:59,159 --> 00:15:01,600 of the pocket and really not trying to make plays. 267 00:15:02,519 --> 00:15:04,960 He made a lot of plays with his feet his receivers, 268 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:12,639 while Iowa's receivers aren't particularly anything special. Like he just 269 00:15:12,799 --> 00:15:15,240 made like some weird decisions And I don't know how 270 00:15:15,279 --> 00:15:18,799 much it's him actually making these decisions for himself or 271 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,399 this is what he's been coached to do. And I 272 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,799 know he's coming off with surgery, you know, maybe he 273 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,080 wants to play it safe. But like against Iowa State, 274 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,080 a team that I go back to, played pretty well. 275 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,879 They they they did okay on the ground, like both 276 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:36,360 Sama and Hanson did their part. They're like they they 277 00:15:36,399 --> 00:15:41,679 lost to NFL one thousand yard receivers and they are fine. 278 00:15:42,039 --> 00:15:45,519 They were good on the defensive side. Six tackles for lost, 279 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,480 three tackles, three passed or excuse me, three sacks, three 280 00:15:49,799 --> 00:15:53,399 pass deflections, and they get an interception from Jeremiah Cooper. 281 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:59,200 Like they looked way better than Iowa, not way better, 282 00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:03,360 but like Iowa had plenty of opportunities in the Kirk Farrence, 283 00:16:03,399 --> 00:16:05,799 you know, settling for field goals instead of going for 284 00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:08,840 it on fourth and short or punting the ball, Like 285 00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:11,200 I get it. You want to play this field position 286 00:16:11,639 --> 00:16:14,480 possessive style and you know, try to win the games 287 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,960 and really using all thirds of your team, especially on 288 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,840 the defensive in special team side. But that's just not 289 00:16:20,879 --> 00:16:23,200 gonna win you national championships. That's not gonna win you 290 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,720 Big Ten championships. IWA's been in the Big Ten Championship 291 00:16:26,759 --> 00:16:33,120 back when the East and West were separate, and there's 292 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,399 a reason why, well most of the West teams got killed, 293 00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:39,440 but there's a reason why there was just such a 294 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:41,639 difference just in terms of their coaching style. It's not 295 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,399 like IOWA doesn't get good talent, they don't attract great 296 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,519 skilled position players, but that's just because other than running back, 297 00:16:48,639 --> 00:16:50,799 like you're not gonna really have a chance on the 298 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,240 offensive side to show your success. I mean, I guess 299 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,480 tight ends too. They kind of had that run. But 300 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,639 you know what I'm saying, it's like it's just frustrating 301 00:17:00,679 --> 00:17:03,879 to watch because I am someone that like wants to 302 00:17:04,079 --> 00:17:06,880 like IOWA, and I think Tim Lester has definitely thrown 303 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,359 his own, you know, influence on this offense. But I 304 00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:13,480 mean they're they were able to run the ball, okay, 305 00:17:13,799 --> 00:17:18,279 like jazon On Patterson did decently well he's not Caleb Johnson, 306 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,920 or at least not yet. But yeah, it like it 307 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,160 just frustrates me that Iowa, I think has a lot 308 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,960 of potential to be, you know, a pretty good college 309 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,000 football team. And while Kirk Farns has developed talent, like 310 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,559 he's had good overall seasons, when you don't have production 311 00:17:36,599 --> 00:17:41,400 on the offensive side, it's tough. It's tough to win 312 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:48,640 games against good teams. So yeah, you know what game 313 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:52,920 had a lot of offense, Michigan State versus Boston College. Now, 314 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,440 a lot of points were scored in overtime. Michigan State 315 00:17:55,519 --> 00:17:59,400 ends up winning forty two to forty over the Eagles. 316 00:18:00,279 --> 00:18:04,279 Bill O'Brien, I'm gonna be completely honest. I thought Boston 317 00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:07,480 College looked better than Michigan State in this game. Lewis 318 00:18:07,519 --> 00:18:10,200 Bond had a crazy day receiving, so did Jeremiah Franklin 319 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,799 for the Eagles. Turbo Richardson, which, how about that name, 320 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,160 Like Dylan Lonergan looks like a good QB. There is 321 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,680 a reason why he was recruited to Alabama at the 322 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,079 time that Nick Saban was there. Now I had to 323 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,440 sit behind last season by Tommy Castianos. He moves on 324 00:18:25,599 --> 00:18:27,559 he gets his shot, and he might be like the 325 00:18:27,559 --> 00:18:31,240 Eli Holstein of last year with this year's BC team 326 00:18:31,279 --> 00:18:34,480 Because Eli Holstein, I don't think Pittsburgh necessarily finished great 327 00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:37,200 to the season last year, Like Eli Holstein was a 328 00:18:37,279 --> 00:18:38,920 nice bright spot on that team, and I think Dylan 329 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,000 Lonergan could be the same thing for Boston College. How 330 00:18:42,039 --> 00:18:46,440 about that to sec backup quarterbacks transferring to acc s 331 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,880 goals and being able to have success. He's not the 332 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,519 reason why they lost this game for Boston College wise, 333 00:18:53,559 --> 00:18:57,720 I mean they just really no team was really that sound. 334 00:18:57,759 --> 00:19:01,920 On the defensive side, Aiden Chiles look good both running 335 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:07,079 and passing. I thought that, you know, they looked solid, 336 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,400 and like both these quarterbacks looked good. I was happy 337 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,119 with Makai Frazier out of the backfield. He seems to 338 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:16,400 be the RB one for the Spartans. Nick Marsh had 339 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:20,599 two good touchdown receptions. Amari Kelly had some pivotal points 340 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,640 in this game to really haul in some reception. Kashan 341 00:19:24,759 --> 00:19:31,519 Riquay McCrae should be decent this season. Jordan Hall, while 342 00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:35,480 he had nine solo tackles, is a problem when and 343 00:19:35,559 --> 00:19:38,720 this was pointed out by insiders around the college football 344 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,480 game just around in the country. Jordan Hall got picked 345 00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:45,240 on yesterday. Anytime he dropped back into coverage, they were 346 00:19:45,279 --> 00:19:48,480 typically targeting something his way, which is something you don't 347 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,759 want to see out of a linebacker because you know, 348 00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:53,279 those guys technically are supposed to be able to cover 349 00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:55,599 even if you throw in some nickels and even some 350 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,720 dime sets, like, he's gonna be someone that's gonna have 351 00:19:58,799 --> 00:20:00,880 to be watched. I know we'll league. Spencer went out 352 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,160 at some point in this game. They were without Martinez 353 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,400 in the backside, so a couple of defensive injuries, which 354 00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:09,920 I think Boston College is just a good team, Like 355 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,359 they're not great, and I'm not expecting Michigan State to 356 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,039 be this eight nine win team, but it is good 357 00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:18,119 that they were playing someone probably similar of their competition 358 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,359 and similar to their talent level. The game was a 359 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,359 three and a half point spread, like Michigan State. You know, 360 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,880 being able to win a game like that is something 361 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:31,400 that you don't see very often of a bad team, 362 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,480 because good teams typically win the close games, no matter 363 00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:36,680 if it's the number one team or if it's an 364 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,720 FCS school. If they get into a close game, typically 365 00:20:38,799 --> 00:20:41,240 it's good teams are able to come out on top. 366 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,000 And I'm not saying they're great. I'm not saying they're 367 00:20:44,039 --> 00:20:46,240 gonna make the College Football Playoff or being Big ten 368 00:20:46,279 --> 00:20:51,039 Tital contention, but they're gonna be, in my opinion, a 369 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,640 good team. I think you'll be able to beat UCLA 370 00:20:54,839 --> 00:20:58,599 on the schedule. Now that that looks like Ucla, I'm 371 00:20:58,599 --> 00:21:01,319 gonna leave that to Matt Zemch. I'm not going to 372 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,400 talk about that team. That team is not worthy of 373 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,480 my attention the rest of the twenty twenty five season. 374 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,559 It's not a good showing down there in Westwood. That 375 00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:12,640 That's all I say. They played Donstown State next week. 376 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,920 Michigan State does, so that'll be interesting to see, you know, 377 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:21,039 how much the offense continues to develop. Other than that, 378 00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:26,480 Wisconsin started slow but finished really strong against Middle Tennessee State. 379 00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:29,559 They were able to score a late fourteen in the 380 00:21:29,599 --> 00:21:32,160 second quarter because I like kept checking in on the 381 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:34,440 score and I was eventually watching it, I'm like, what 382 00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,119 are we doing here? Why? Why is it so close? 383 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:38,839 And then in the second half they're just able to 384 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,960 completely pull away, which Danny O'Neil, if you remember Graham 385 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,200 Mertz coming in his freshman season, his first year of play. 386 00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:50,480 That was really nice from Graham Mertz at the time. Now, 387 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,039 obviously Graham Mertz's I don't even know if he's on 388 00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:56,279 an NFL roster and you eventually transferred to Florida. But 389 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,000 like I think Danny O'Neill actually is a nice piece 390 00:21:59,039 --> 00:22:02,519 and he might have this job over Billy Edwards by 391 00:22:02,559 --> 00:22:06,319 the time he does come back Wisconsin. I don't know 392 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,319 how much of a ground game they're not necessarily have. 393 00:22:08,559 --> 00:22:12,200 They were really bi committee yesterday. Lance Mason looks like 394 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:16,400 a nice piece there on the outside. But like I know, 395 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,200 I had my frustrations with Wisconsin last week, and I 396 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,640 think that will change. They do play Alabama next week, 397 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,880 which Alabama hung a seventy three burger on Uell Monroe yesterday. 398 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,079 But we saw with that Florida State game. Now, how 399 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,599 much worse in terms of power ratings is Florida State 400 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,160 from Wisconsin. I don't really know. I just know if 401 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,160 you're Wisconsin, you cannot start that game out slow, because 402 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,000 really stealed the deal for Florida State in that game 403 00:22:42,079 --> 00:22:45,279 is they were just ahead and being able. Tony White's 404 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:50,359 also a mastermind at the defensive coordinator position, and he 405 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,200 was able to just kind of mix things up and 406 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,880 do a good job. And that's that's really what you 407 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:59,160 want from him. But yeah, I mean, I think Wisconsin's good. 408 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,640 I think they're better than what I went out a 409 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:07,039 tangent on last week for. And I apologize Madison Wisconsin 410 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,240 for now. It might be a temporary apology or it 411 00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:13,279 might be a full time I'll be interested to see 412 00:23:13,599 --> 00:23:17,400 how they play against Alabama next week, because one, I 413 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,119 don't know where Alabama's at in terms of you know, 414 00:23:21,559 --> 00:23:25,119 how are they gonna look because it's not you all Monroe. 415 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:30,200 All Monroe is on the border of being FBSTFCS in 416 00:23:30,319 --> 00:23:35,359 terms of talent, But I don't know that that's that's 417 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,000 tough to look at. Yeah, I'm not gonna get into 418 00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:45,079 UCLA not doing it at all. There's not too much 419 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,519 more like this was a pretty calm week, Like we 420 00:23:47,599 --> 00:23:50,480 had some good games, but like most of these, like 421 00:23:50,519 --> 00:23:53,720 other than the Syhawk in the Michigan State game, like 422 00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:55,720 things just got a way. Illinois Duke was good for 423 00:23:55,759 --> 00:23:59,400 a while too. I was very happy watching that. Can 424 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,240 we talk about So I'm gonna name the these team 425 00:24:03,319 --> 00:24:07,839 totals and gause. You just don't see this, Like I 426 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,839 know they're playing FCS group of six opponents. This is 427 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:17,839 just insane. Ohio State seventy to nothing, Oregon sixty nine 428 00:24:17,839 --> 00:24:24,160 to three, Indiana fifty six to nine, Minnesota sixty six 429 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:29,960 to nothing, Nebraska sixty eight to nothing, USC fifty nine 430 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:35,599 to twenty, and then you see Davis ten points Washington seventy, 431 00:24:36,079 --> 00:24:39,079 Like this is just absurd how much points are being scored, 432 00:24:39,079 --> 00:24:42,559 which it might mean college in college football offense might 433 00:24:42,599 --> 00:24:48,519 be back, probably not, but I mean most of these 434 00:24:48,519 --> 00:24:52,359 teams just dog walked, Like Minnesota first play of the game, 435 00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,519 it's a pick six. Now, like I'm not gonna really 436 00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:58,480 probably tune into much of this matchup, but I mean, 437 00:24:58,519 --> 00:25:02,200 like Minnesota looked very good. They were playing their third 438 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,920 string quarterback, which if you're playing your third string, and 439 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,680 a lot of these teams did, typically means you're doing 440 00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:11,160 doing a pretty good job down there. So I'm like, 441 00:25:11,839 --> 00:25:15,000 oh my gosh, like what is happening because that was 442 00:25:15,039 --> 00:25:17,119 the first thing that caught my eye. I like Ohio 443 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:21,279 State being grandly by by seventy. It doesn't matter effect. 444 00:25:21,319 --> 00:25:24,359 I did not expect Nebraska to hang sixty eight because 445 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,960 they were looking slow to start out that game, and 446 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,599 you know they had thirty. I'm like, okay, so they're 447 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,400 just gonna take it in a half now. They they 448 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,720 decided that they they were gonna they were gonna make 449 00:25:35,759 --> 00:25:42,640 their mark. They were Yeah, I mean Rutgers beat Miami 450 00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:45,319 Ohio forty five to seventeen. That game was a little 451 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,519 bit dicey to start out, but Rutgers ended up pulling away, 452 00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:51,079 which that's what you want to see. At the en 453 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,960 Calick Manis, I'm telling you he's made me, if not 454 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,920 Luke Altmeyer at thean calaijack Manus is the most underrated 455 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,200 quarterback in the Big Ten. I know he didn't have 456 00:26:02,279 --> 00:26:06,240 a great season last year, he didn't start necessarily out 457 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,720 great at Minnesota. I think he is going to be 458 00:26:09,559 --> 00:26:11,720 someone that you really need to watch out for. And 459 00:26:11,759 --> 00:26:14,599 you know, take Rutgers seriously and how they're passing the ball. 460 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,279 I know they're playing MAC defenses. Okay, Miami Ohio, Ohio, 461 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:22,599 like those are typically two solid MAC programs. He's doing 462 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,079 a really good job. And who does Rutgers play next week? 463 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,359 Just got to take a look Norfolk State. Okay, well 464 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,920 they'll play Michael Vick. That's cool. But their first Big 465 00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,240 Ten opponent is Iowa which that might be tough because, 466 00:26:36,279 --> 00:26:38,200 I mean Roco back threw some nice balls and his 467 00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:41,400 receivers dropped it. Savers also got that ty done, got 468 00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:45,920 lucky on that one play for Iowa State. But regardless, yeah, 469 00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:47,880 that'll be a good test. I mean, they don't play 470 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:52,720 like a scary, scary opponent until Oregon, and they do 471 00:26:52,799 --> 00:26:55,839 play Oregon, Ohio State, and Penn State. They play Ohio 472 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,519 State and Penn State to end the season. They play 473 00:26:58,519 --> 00:27:01,759 at Penn State at home, so maybe maybe we could 474 00:27:01,759 --> 00:27:03,960 see a surprise there. Obviously we have to see the 475 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:08,000 weeks leading up. I'm glad Indiana got it done. It 476 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,079 was twenty one six at halftime, but they really pulled away. 477 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,079 Both the Mendoza's played at quarterback, both Fernando and Alberto 478 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,599 Fernando looked pretty good. They got Beab Junior some looks 479 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,319 on the ground, which is nice. They still have Kilan 480 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,799 Black getting a good amount of touches to Elijah Surratt 481 00:27:25,799 --> 00:27:28,759 three touchdown grabs. He's someone that I really like for 482 00:27:28,799 --> 00:27:32,000 this team, and I think Indiana they're gonna surprise people 483 00:27:32,559 --> 00:27:35,759 they're gonna be good. I know they're not. Yeah, they 484 00:27:35,759 --> 00:27:39,519 play Indiana State next week, but then they play Illinois 485 00:27:39,559 --> 00:27:42,839 on the twentieth. That will be one that will be 486 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,400 circled on my calendar and it should be circled on yours. Yeah. 487 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,720 I think in terms of recap, oh, Penn State, Yeah, 488 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,640 I forgot about this. Penn State started out really slow 489 00:27:56,319 --> 00:28:01,200 and Drew Aller. I don't know. I know, tools wise, 490 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:07,240 he's probably gonna be a first round quarterback, but it's 491 00:28:07,519 --> 00:28:10,279 just not like I see this Anthony Richardson, you know, 492 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:15,119 Will Levis type of situation in terms of it's just 493 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,440 a project quarterback in my eyes, Like, I don't think 494 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,039 he's looked great. Yeah, his team got to the semi 495 00:28:20,039 --> 00:28:22,640 final of the playoffs, But was it Drew Aller? Was 496 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,160 it the amazing defense, an amazing ground game that they 497 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,839 have because whenever they try to push the ball with 498 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000 in his hands. And I know Penn State hasn't necessarily 499 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,880 had the greatest receiver talent, which doesn't make sense because 500 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,559 Penn State definitely top ten and spending definitely a top 501 00:28:37,599 --> 00:28:40,640 ten football program in terms of the last ten years 502 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,680 in the Big Ten. It doesn't make any sense. Why 503 00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:49,000 you know, one, the quarterback shouldn't be looking amazing in 504 00:28:49,079 --> 00:28:53,680 two Yeah, it just doesn't make any sense. Like Demonte 505 00:28:53,799 --> 00:28:55,480 Ross got a touchdown grab, but no one in that 506 00:28:55,519 --> 00:28:59,599 receiver room which you're playing FIU no offense to them 507 00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,519 they are. She looked decent yesterday. They couldn't really, you know, 508 00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:05,160 capitalize on drivers removed the ball that efficiently. But they 509 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,880 were giving Penn State a little bit of toughness and 510 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,400 k Tron Allen had that big rickaway and both him 511 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,920 and Nick Singleton look good. The offensive line looks decent, 512 00:29:15,559 --> 00:29:17,880 but this team is going to be so dependent on 513 00:29:18,079 --> 00:29:21,519 their defensive line and their ground game winning games. I'm 514 00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:25,079 just not a Drew Aller believer. He's never convinced me 515 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:28,319 to be this big game changing quarterback that's gonna win 516 00:29:28,359 --> 00:29:32,079 them games. And you play Villanova next week, you should 517 00:29:32,079 --> 00:29:35,359 blow him out. It's a basketball school and that plays 518 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:40,319 FCS football. And then you play Oregon and that game's 519 00:29:40,359 --> 00:29:43,759 going to matter a lot. And keep in mind, this 520 00:29:43,839 --> 00:29:48,960 team also still has to play Ohio State, Indiana, Nebraska, 521 00:29:49,559 --> 00:29:52,599 like pretty good Big Ten opponents. And if you don't 522 00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,799 win those games, how do you win the How do 523 00:29:54,799 --> 00:29:58,160 you go into the college Football Playoff because in my opinion, yes, 524 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,000 they could go ten to two and probably still get in. 525 00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:03,680 But do they deserve it. I guess you have to 526 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:06,440 see the rest of the field, but I don't think 527 00:30:06,519 --> 00:30:10,119 Drew Aller is really deserving of this first round get 528 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,759 grade based off of his play. Now I see the measurables. 529 00:30:13,799 --> 00:30:16,319 I see, you know, oh, we could work him into 530 00:30:16,359 --> 00:30:19,279 this because he's got like a Josh Allen body type 531 00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:22,319 and he is someone that is capable of running the football. 532 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,359 I see it from that perspective. I just am someone 533 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,680 that when I'm doing draft analysis and looking at a 534 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:30,920 lot of these players, I like to see production. I 535 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,440 like to see things that will translate that have been 536 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,200 shown at the college level. And I'm not saying Drew 537 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:38,920 Aler should not be drafted, and who knows however he 538 00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:42,119 progresses through the season, but it typically means something. And 539 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:44,359 I know it's a little bit different now because you know, 540 00:30:45,319 --> 00:30:48,000 you can make money in college now, but it says 541 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,960 something when you go back, and I guess it's maybe 542 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,839 not all because there's people in the past that are like, oh, 543 00:30:55,839 --> 00:30:58,680 I want to go one more year and really prove myself. 544 00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,720 And I know Penn State really as this, But in 545 00:31:00,759 --> 00:31:02,880 my opinion, I think Drew Aller probably would have been 546 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,400 a Day one, Day two pick regardless. Would you have 547 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,519 gone as high as cam More maybe, but I think 548 00:31:07,559 --> 00:31:09,640 he would have been picked before Dale, Dylan Gabriel and 549 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,319 potentially Tyler Shuck, so he could have gone. I like 550 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:15,079 he probably would have gotten drafted in the same position 551 00:31:15,279 --> 00:31:19,319 as Jackson Dart for being completely honest and he wanted 552 00:31:19,359 --> 00:31:21,119 to go back because he wanted to really won win 553 00:31:21,119 --> 00:31:24,519 a national championship with Penn State, but also, you know, 554 00:31:25,519 --> 00:31:28,759 probably get a higher, higher draft pick. And I just 555 00:31:29,559 --> 00:31:32,759 from what I've seen and I just what I know 556 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,039 off the past seasons of his play in so far 557 00:31:35,119 --> 00:31:38,319 two games into this season, I'm really not ready to 558 00:31:38,359 --> 00:31:44,359 put it there. And yeah, that's that's That's mainly how 559 00:31:44,359 --> 00:31:47,200 I look at it. And I'm sorry for going on 560 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:48,960 to this tangent. And I'm not trying to say Drew 561 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,000 Aller is a bad kid or he doesn't deserve any 562 00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,680 of this that or other. It's great. I think Drew 563 00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,119 Aller is still one of the better Big Ten quarterbacks. 564 00:31:56,119 --> 00:31:58,519 I just think it's a little bit you get him 565 00:31:58,519 --> 00:32:02,680 too much praise, which is Okay, it happens in Penn 566 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,079 State fans, you should still, you know, really believe in 567 00:32:05,119 --> 00:32:07,200 the success of your quarterback. I am just looking at 568 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:10,119 it from my point of view, and that's it, and 569 00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:12,799 we can agree to disagree. And you know, all of 570 00:32:12,839 --> 00:32:14,920 us have opinions because you know, we have the right 571 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,240 to a freedom of speech and you have a bunch 572 00:32:17,279 --> 00:32:19,039 of things in this great country that we live in. 573 00:32:20,079 --> 00:32:23,680 But yeah, okay, let's round off the show with looking 574 00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:26,680 at the next week Big Ten schedule and also take 575 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:30,440 a look at Big Ten teams inside the ap pole 576 00:32:31,039 --> 00:32:34,839 because I also think that's very important because some things 577 00:32:34,839 --> 00:32:40,400 did shake up across the other parts of college football. Friday, 578 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:48,240 Indiana Indiana State six thirty, Big Ten Network. You can 579 00:32:48,279 --> 00:32:51,960 watch it if you want. I think that Indiana should 580 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,160 take care of that game UCLA New Mexico. Ucla is 581 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,079 still a fifteen and a half point favorite totals at 582 00:32:58,079 --> 00:33:02,279 fifty three and a half. I I would I would 583 00:33:02,319 --> 00:33:05,000 take that spread with New Mexico. Keep in mind, this 584 00:33:05,039 --> 00:33:07,400 New Mexico team, while Michigan had some things go wrong 585 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,640 in their game and some calls were made and this, 586 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:12,559 that and the other thing. I would take the plus 587 00:33:12,559 --> 00:33:15,839 fifteen and a half. That is my advice. You can 588 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,240 take it, you can leave it. I don't think you 589 00:33:18,319 --> 00:33:23,400 say LA is good like I'm legitimately they might. They 590 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,279 might be the worst team. And I follow a lot 591 00:33:26,279 --> 00:33:28,799 of UCLA stuff on Twitter. Ironically, it pops up on 592 00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:31,960 my feet all the time. And they are not happy 593 00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,640 with Nico. They're not happy with a lot of things 594 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,240 about the football program. Does just Sean Foster have a 595 00:33:36,279 --> 00:33:38,720 job after you year two? I don't think his buyouts 596 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:43,599 too much, so maybe not. Yeah, it's gonna look scary 597 00:33:43,839 --> 00:33:47,559 down there in the UCLA down in Westwood. Watch out 598 00:33:47,559 --> 00:33:51,119 for them on klitt Alert when they move into Big 599 00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:58,119 Ten Conference play at Nune Oregon Northwestern, Oh. I got 600 00:33:58,119 --> 00:34:01,359 that down to twenty seven and a half now from 601 00:34:01,359 --> 00:34:06,240 what I'm looking at. I'll watch probably the first half 602 00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:09,639 and if Northwestern competes, that's great. I'm not a big 603 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:12,840 fan of Preston Stone, per se. There's a reason why 604 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,079 Kevin Jennings beat him out at SMU, And I know 605 00:34:17,159 --> 00:34:19,440 Preston Stone. You know twenty twenty three they were the 606 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:22,840 American Champions. He was at quarterback. But there's a reason 607 00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:25,559 why they're going with Jennings, because Jennings pretty good yesterday 608 00:34:26,679 --> 00:34:28,480 and there's a reason why he's at Northwestern now, and 609 00:34:28,519 --> 00:34:31,480 not say Northwestern's a bad team, but I just don't 610 00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:35,519 I don't think they're particularly going to give Oregon that 611 00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:39,960 much of a competition. We'll see Alabama favored by twenty 612 00:34:40,039 --> 00:34:42,119 and a half against Wisconsin. I don't know if they're 613 00:34:42,119 --> 00:34:44,800 twenty and a half points better. I think it would 614 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:49,119 be more like thirteen and a half. But Wisconsin's been 615 00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:51,119 weird so far to kind of predict what they're gonna 616 00:34:51,119 --> 00:34:53,000 be like throughout the season. But I know Luke Fickle 617 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,079 trying to save his job, keep another year under the tenure, 618 00:34:56,119 --> 00:34:59,880 really start building something that'll be a trial and airpor 619 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:03,599 Central Michigan and Michigan. Michigan twenty seven and a half 620 00:35:03,599 --> 00:35:05,760 point favorites. I think you're gonna see a nice bounce 621 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:08,679 back game from Underwood and the offense as a whole, 622 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,840 really try to establish themselves as you know, one of 623 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,679 the big ten premier teams still because they're kind of 624 00:35:15,679 --> 00:35:18,639 slipping out of the race and Illinois kind of jumping them. 625 00:35:19,039 --> 00:35:22,119 Theyn't want to remind folks that they're Michigan. They're one 626 00:35:22,159 --> 00:35:26,840 of the greatest football programs ever in Division one FBS football. 627 00:35:27,119 --> 00:35:31,039 They got over a thousand wins. They're a great program. 628 00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,559 I'm able to say it. I think Michigan is a 629 00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:36,840 good team still. I think they're still top twenty five caliber. 630 00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,719 It's just how much more do they go up? Are 631 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,679 they top fifteen? It's early in the season. You got 632 00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:46,239 a young quarterback, you got new players in places, you 633 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,880 can figure it out. You can still make the College 634 00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,519 Football Playoff potentially, but I guess I would be waiting 635 00:35:51,559 --> 00:35:55,360 see Nebraska plays Houston Christian don't need to talk about it. 636 00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,840 Maryland will play Towson on Peacock. Yeah, but I don't 637 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,679 think there's too much with that game that we necessarily 638 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,320 have to worry about. Like we mentioned, Penn State plays Villanova, 639 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:11,760 USC Purdue three thirty, USC twenty one and a half points. 640 00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:14,519 USC's looked dominant so far to start the season, playing 641 00:36:14,599 --> 00:36:16,920 Jeordia Southern and Missouri State would shout out to them 642 00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:21,119 by wagging their first ever FBS win Delaware. I believe 643 00:36:21,119 --> 00:36:22,400 we'll look to do the same. I don't think they 644 00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,000 won yet. I know they lost to Colorado. I think 645 00:36:26,039 --> 00:36:29,280 the boiler Makers there might be some magic in West Lafayette. 646 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:33,039 Hopefully they looked good in Week one. Southern Illinois like 647 00:36:33,079 --> 00:36:35,079 they were able to take care of business, didn't look 648 00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:37,760 dominant in the process. That will be a fun game 649 00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:42,400 to look at. Rutgers Norfolk State. I think Rutgers should 650 00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,719 be able to confidently win that game. Ohio State Ohio 651 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,800 Ohio Gate b Rutgers some trouble. Will they be able 652 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,559 to do the same to the same in state college. 653 00:36:52,679 --> 00:36:54,519 That's something that we'll have to wait and see. I 654 00:36:54,559 --> 00:36:57,440 have to see it to believe it. But typically Ohio 655 00:36:57,519 --> 00:37:01,360 State does decently well against MAC components. Western Michigan Illinois 656 00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,679 twenty seven and a half point favorites. I have to 657 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:07,920 take a look and see that one. Iowa plays UMass 658 00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,719 thirty three and a half point favorites, forty four and 659 00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,760 a half total. Yeah, we'll see it. And then Minnesota 660 00:37:15,159 --> 00:37:18,840 Saturday night they will take on California, who's also too 661 00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:23,039 and on this season. Minnesota two and a half point favorites. 662 00:37:23,079 --> 00:37:25,519 Traveling on the road to the West Coast, which is 663 00:37:25,519 --> 00:37:27,960 an extra West coast trip they probably don't want to make. 664 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,639 That will be interesting. Minnesota looks so dominant and good 665 00:37:33,679 --> 00:37:36,360 and also Youngstown State Michigan State plays next week as well. 666 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:41,280 But yeah, if this is a weekend, I don't want 667 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,440 to say this lightly. I will obviously be tuned in 668 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:46,480 because you know, I love college football and I wouldn't 669 00:37:46,519 --> 00:37:49,320 miss any of it. This is a weekend where if 670 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:51,880 you want to start with the fall festivities, maybe start 671 00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,039 getting Halloween decorations put up, go to the apple orchard, 672 00:37:55,119 --> 00:37:56,800 like it's never too early to go and do that, 673 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:59,480 and get your donuts and cider mill and other things. 674 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,760 I think this is probably the weekend to do it personally. 675 00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:09,440 And yeah, I think that this is you know, this 676 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:11,920 is that time of year. It's that time of year. 677 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,519 You're gonna have weeks like this. You're gonna have weeks 678 00:38:14,559 --> 00:38:16,920 like this and the next week will lead up to 679 00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:18,920 big stuff. So I think next week we'll take more 680 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,639 of an approach at you know, the big game coming 681 00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:23,599 up and hopefully our guest that's able to come on 682 00:38:23,639 --> 00:38:26,320 the show unless it's an absolute upset or you know, 683 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,079 something crazy happens in the Big Ten, like if Wisconsin 684 00:38:29,599 --> 00:38:31,800 bes Alabama will have to get a Wisconsin guy on 685 00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,199 the show. This, that and the other thing. But yeah, 686 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:38,559 I think that you know, this is the weekend where 687 00:38:39,079 --> 00:38:41,880 if you're not really like, if you have stuff you 688 00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:44,880 need to get done, it might not be a bad idea. 689 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,760 Now I'm not encouraging you not to pay attention, but 690 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:50,840 if you simply just need to listen to this show 691 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:52,920 what happened on the week before, I will be glad 692 00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,599 to present that to you. And not that this week 693 00:38:55,639 --> 00:38:57,639 really felt like that, because there was a lot of 694 00:38:57,679 --> 00:39:00,719 crazy stuff on it, especially on the national Landscape, and 695 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:03,360 like I mentioned, go listen to the other podcast here 696 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:07,360 on the College Gridiron Coast to Coast Network. But other 697 00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:11,239 than that, this was a This was a fun week. 698 00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:14,440 I had fun watching football. Football is always fun to watch, 699 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:20,039 unless in you're Alliance fan, which I am so alis 700 00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:22,039 the Spartan's got the win. I know some Michigan fans 701 00:39:22,039 --> 00:39:25,360 that are also some Lions fans that we might have 702 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,119 one on the show in the near future. I know 703 00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,559 that had a very bad weekend, but you know, there's 704 00:39:32,599 --> 00:39:36,239 always next week. There is always next week, and life 705 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,840 continues to go on. And don't take anything for granted, 706 00:39:39,599 --> 00:39:41,840 because you know, and a lot of the things that 707 00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,199 we have in this day and age, you know, we 708 00:39:44,599 --> 00:39:48,519 have the escapabilities of football and sports and being able 709 00:39:48,519 --> 00:39:50,960 to listen to podcasts and really having the freedom to 710 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,679 do a lot of things legally that you know, you 711 00:39:54,679 --> 00:39:58,639 you should really take advantage to, you know, as you know, 712 00:40:00,199 --> 00:40:03,280 as you should. Really, I didn't mean to go on 713 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:12,800 like a totally off concept tangent before we end this show. First, 714 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:17,119 I wanted to talk to you about our great people. 715 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:23,159 Now we so dearly like very much, very much.

I think that would 754 00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:33,599 be a good idea, a good investment. As people would say, yeah, 755 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,440 I would personally use tickets Smarter if you're gonna go 756 00:42:38,079 --> 00:42:43,400 and purchase tickets to these big events, especially whether it's 757 00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,679 this week or you know you plan on when conference 758 00:42:45,679 --> 00:42:48,400 play really starts, gets crack a lacking. As I would 759 00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,119 like to say, I think you should use tickets Smarter 760 00:42:52,159 --> 00:42:56,800 as your mobile ticketing app, and really for any other 761 00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,559 events as well. It doesn't have to be college football, 762 00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:03,679 can do other games, and I well anywhere. Eightp Top 763 00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:07,440 twenty five came out for this week. Ohio State still 764 00:43:07,519 --> 00:43:10,440 ranked at number one fifty seven first place votes, a 765 00:43:10,519 --> 00:43:12,960 nice comfortable lead there at the top of the poll. 766 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,840 Penn State is number two that will fall behind. Do 767 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:20,400 they deserve to be there over teams like LSU and Miami. 768 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,039 I don't know. Organ's rinked at four. I did not 769 00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,559 know if they were gonna move up based on the 770 00:43:26,159 --> 00:43:29,800 as I would like to say, slobber knocking over the Cowboys, 771 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:33,280 the pokes down there in still Water. I'm glad they did. 772 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,079 I'm glad they did move up. We mentioned that will 773 00:43:37,079 --> 00:43:39,639 talk Notre Dame. They're ranked at number eight. Tough game 774 00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,119 versus Miami back in Week one. They had this week off. 775 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,559 Their next game that they will play is Texas A 776 00:43:45,639 --> 00:43:47,800 and M next week. That should be a really interesting game. 777 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,159 Marcel Reid, you know, how is he gonna look against 778 00:43:50,199 --> 00:43:52,199 a big opponent this year? How is that Texas A 779 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:55,639 and M team as a whole going to look this year? 780 00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:59,639 Lost too edge rushers and Nick Scurton and Jamar Stewart 781 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:03,559 last year, which Schmarts Stewart almost went back to text 782 00:44:03,559 --> 00:44:08,960 saying that let's keep that in mind. That's actually not true. Well, yeah, 783 00:44:09,519 --> 00:44:13,639 that's NFL talk. But regardless of Notre Dame at Illinois 784 00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:18,360 is at nine. I thought they looked decently well again 785 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,360 their game against Duke, and you know what, they'll probably 786 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:23,000 continue to climb up the pole as they continue to win. 787 00:44:23,199 --> 00:44:25,840 If they continue to win. When they continue to win, however, 788 00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,400 you want to look at it. And then Michigan at 789 00:44:28,599 --> 00:44:31,199 twenty three, Indiana at twenty two. I think both those 790 00:44:31,199 --> 00:44:34,000 teams being in similar spots, I don't think is a 791 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,199 bad thing. Six total teams in the Big Ten ranked 792 00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:40,719 this week. As we take to look at the other 793 00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:44,000 receiving votes, USC received sixty four. I think they're a 794 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,480 team that you're gonna see in the top twenty five 795 00:44:46,519 --> 00:44:50,840 in the coming weeks. Also Nebraska with ten, I think 796 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,280 that's a team you can see make a college football 797 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,239 playoff push from this conference. And then looking at it, Nope, 798 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,320 no one else received any votes. And that is it. 799 00:45:01,599 --> 00:45:03,800 That is it. That is all we have to talk 800 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:07,519 about here on the Big Ten paradigm today. And if 801 00:45:07,559 --> 00:45:11,360 you want to, like I mentioned, follow the College grid 802 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,840 Iron Coast to coast Twitter along with mine at Dreary Noah, 803 00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,840 and also make sure you're following the podcast feed wherever 804 00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,199 you get your podcasts. I want to thank everyone for 805 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:26,440 tuning in. And you know, it's weak two. The season's 806 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:29,360 gonna fly. We're gonna have fun, we're gonna talk college football. 807 00:45:29,519 --> 00:45:33,000 We're gonna talk about you know, miscellaneous stuff at times, 808 00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,360 maybe not so big weeks, like maybe next week's episode, 809 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:38,199 you know, we could talk about you know, what is 810 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:40,440 the best roller coaster you could ride in the Big 811 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,679 ten country, even though the Big ten country sport who 812 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:47,559 priss from coast to coast, none the less, We're not 813 00:45:47,559 --> 00:45:49,360 gonna do that. That was just that was a joke, 814 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:53,280 false alarmy, but no, I like, like I mentioned, I 815 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,079 love college football. I've been watching it since I was 816 00:45:56,079 --> 00:46:02,039 probably at the age of what six, That was fourteen 817 00:46:02,119 --> 00:46:05,000 years ago, and I've really gotten into it as I've 818 00:46:05,039 --> 00:46:07,639 gotten older and older and older, and I don't continue 819 00:46:07,639 --> 00:46:09,880 to stop watching it. So I'm glad I have the 820 00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:15,960 platform to talk about these things across the country. And 821 00:46:16,119 --> 00:46:21,000 so with that being said, make sure, once again follow 822 00:46:21,039 --> 00:46:23,719 everything you can. I'm bad to follow things that you 823 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,360 want to pay attention to. Have a great week, everybody, 824 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,239 and we will see you here next time.
