Speaker 1: Welcome back to Week twelve of the Florida Football Insiders podcast.

9
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,840
I'm your host, Jason down in Tampa, little chili weather

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,159
down here in the state of Florida. This week we

11
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:47,200
had some chili performances on the field by their Florida

12
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,640
Gators and Florida State Seminoles. But we're here to talk

13
00:00:50,759 --> 00:00:53,840
all things State of Florida football with you this week

14
00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:56,600
as we hit the home stretch of the regular season

15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,320
of the college football season. Hard to believe we are

16
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:02,560
in week twelve already only two three weeks to go

17
00:01:03,039 --> 00:01:06,480
in the regular season. We have drama both on the

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,120
in the coaching carousel world in the State of Florida

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,959
as well as the college football playoffs. If you didn't

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,920
see on Tuesday night Veterans Day. First of all, Happy

21
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,439
Veterans Day to all of our veterans out there listening

22
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:22,079

00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,239
make things life life easier for all of us here

24

and around the world, to make the US a great

25
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:33,159
place to live and prosper. So again, appreciate all the

26
00:01:33,519 --> 00:01:38,000
all of your service, both former military, deceased military, and

27
00:01:38,079 --> 00:01:41,680
any current military personnel as well. We really appreciate. Want

28
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,519
to shout out to my dad who's a member of

29
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,040
the Army, my stepdad Fletch, who is also in the

30
00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:53,359
Army as well, for their service. So again, if you haven't,

31
00:01:53,519 --> 00:01:55,359
if you didn't take care of that on Tuesday, make

32
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,560
sure you do that at some point this week to

33
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,480
thank those in your inner circle or people that you

34
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:03,000
see out and about for their service. So all right,

35
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,959
Week fourteen College football World, we'll give you a little

36
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,400
recap of week I'm sorry, Week fourteen. Week twelve, we'll

37
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,599
give you a little quick, little recap of week eleven

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,159
preview Week twelve, and then we're gonna talk to Mike Grace,

39
00:02:15,319 --> 00:02:18,599
host of the press Box radio show based out of

40
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:22,599
the Atlanta area, covers football in the South throughout the year.

41
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:27,120
We're gonna talk a little Florida coaching search Ole Miss.

42
00:02:27,439 --> 00:02:30,960
We're gonna talk Florida, Florida State potentially what do they

43
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,400
potentially do. And we're also gonna talk a little Miami

44
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:35,840
Hurricanes and USF Bulls. So if you again, if you

45
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:40,039
didn't see the rankings on Tuesday night, the USF Bulls

46
00:02:40,439 --> 00:02:43,240
come in as the number twelve seed in the current

47
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,479
College Football Playoff rankings. They are seven and two. They

48
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:49,960
get a break last week by the Memphis Tigers losing

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,759
to to Lane last week. The ball is in your court,

50
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,919
Alex Golish. You got a break with some losses in

51
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,680
the conference by Memphis in tu Lane the last couple

52
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:02,280
of weeks ascentially have another break with potentially the quarterback

53
00:03:02,319 --> 00:03:06,080
situation at Navy this week. The balls in your court, Alex,

54
00:03:06,199 --> 00:03:08,280
go win three games in a row and you're going

55
00:03:08,319 --> 00:03:11,280
to be in the College Football Playoff, most likely with

56
00:03:11,319 --> 00:03:14,960
an opportunity to host the eight American Athletic Conference Championship

57
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:18,039
game in your building. As it stands right now, it's

58
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,439
Tulane and USF in the title game with us potentially

59
00:03:22,439 --> 00:03:25,599
being the host. But you still have to take care

60
00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:28,840
of business. So number twelve in the rankings is South Florida.

61
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:32,759
How about number eleven, up from number eighteen last week.

62
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,240
The Miami Hurricanes. They get a big bump based on

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,479
the chaos that's going on throughout the ACC last week

64
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:45,759
with Georgia Tech losing, with Louisville losing, Virginia losing a lot.

65
00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:48,520
Sorry Georgia Tech didn't lose, but you had a lot

66
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,960
of duke loss. Excuse me. You had a lot of

67
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:53,400
chaos in the ACC, and you have more chaos to

68
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:57,879
come in that conference. But as of today, the Miami Hurricanes,

69
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,039
who are more than likely will not make the ACC

70
00:04:01,199 --> 00:04:04,919
title game, our number eleven in the college football rankings. Remember,

71
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,840
there is not a guarantee that the ACC champion has

72
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:10,680
to be in the college football rankings if they are

73
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,680
outside of the top twelve. So that's why right now

74
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,199
the Canes are in at number eleven, coming off their

75
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,480
win over Syracuse last week at seven and two. They

76
00:04:20,519 --> 00:04:24,240
have a buye this week. But again, Mario, you've got

77
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,560
three more games, you got a tricky game, you got

78
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,720
two more games, and then you got a tricky game

79
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:33,480
coming up, both against NC State and against Pittsburgh at

80
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,680
the end. In pitt it'll be cold up there for

81
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,600
a team pitt who can who can create a lot

82
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,360
of chaos in the college football playoff. Pitt plays Notre

83
00:04:42,439 --> 00:04:44,480
Dame this week and then they have Miami in a

84
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,079
couple of weeks, so they could be a massive factor

85
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,519
in who makes the playoff. Pitt could make the playoffs

86
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,519
based on what they do the next three weeks. So

87
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,560
lots of good stuff going on, and then you got

88
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,959
some down stuff. The Gators lose in Kentucky and emphatic fashion.

89
00:04:58,959 --> 00:05:01,199
They score first and then they give up thirty eight

90
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:07,079
straight up in Lexington. DJ Lagway benched in this game,

91
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:09,160
first time in his career. I think he's been benched.

92
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:13,560
They are going back to him this week in Oxford

93
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,439
at Ole Miss. Interesting storyline around this game. The game

94
00:05:17,519 --> 00:05:21,439
is in Oxford, Florida goes to Ole Miss. Not as

95
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:25,879
much concerned about the game. What things are happening behind

96
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:30,120
the scenes potentially on the weekend in Oxford. Will I'm

97
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,879
sure Jimmy Sexton will be involved. Will the Gator administration

98
00:05:34,079 --> 00:05:38,120
get involved in trying to with some backchannel discussions. They

99
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,680
need to find out if Lane Kiffin would have serious

100
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,639
interest in this job, if they've not already done so.

101
00:05:43,199 --> 00:05:46,000
But just another little interesting storyline is the Gators go

102
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,839
to Old Miss, where everybody is pretty confident that Lane

103
00:05:49,879 --> 00:05:52,920
Kiffin is the number one target for the Florida Gators

104
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:55,879
if they can pry him away from Oxford and get

105
00:05:55,959 --> 00:05:58,639
him to come to Gainesville. Other names you're hearing in

106
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,120
this search in the Florida football coaching search, Jeff Brown

107
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,120
potentially there's discussion that he might be signing a new

108
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,399
deal to stay at Louisville. We will see. You have

109
00:06:09,439 --> 00:06:13,279
other names out there, Eli Drinkwitz, James Franklin, which I

110
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,079
don't think that's a very viable John Summrall, who's could

111
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:19,439
be in the mix for the for the Auburn job

112
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,279
as well. What a job he's done at Tulane. That's

113
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,800
another name and keep an eye on as well. So

114
00:06:26,439 --> 00:06:28,800
which one of these big programs is gonna make the

115
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,360
first move in the coaching higher search. I think with

116
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,079
the obviously LSU and Florida are probably gonna wait until

117
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:39,279
they get the definitive answer that he's that Lane Kiffin

118
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,319
is not gonna take the job before they move on

119
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,600
to other people. I'm sure they have other people they've

120
00:06:43,639 --> 00:06:46,800
talked to, But again, I think in both those job searches.

121
00:06:47,079 --> 00:06:50,279
Lane Kiffin is the number one candidate that they would

122
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:52,680
love to get to come to take the job at

123
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,279
their school. So interesting to see what will happen there. Obviously,

124
00:06:56,319 --> 00:06:57,800
with and we're gonna talk a little more with Mike

125
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,040
Grace about the Florida coaching search as well. The Seminoles

126
00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:04,959
they fall twenty four to ten to Clemson in Death Valley. Again.

127
00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:07,519
Castellanos threw for two point fifty in a touchdown deuce.

128
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,399
Robinson nine catches one twenty four. Again, Clemson was the

129
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:15,040
better team most of this game. Mistakes, drop passes and

130
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,800
such for Norvel and his Seminoles, who fall to four

131
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,120
and five. The Knoles have to win two out of

132
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,560
the next three in order to be Bowl eligible. They

133
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,879
will host Virginia Tech next week and then obviously they

134
00:07:25,959 --> 00:07:28,040
I think they have NC State in Miami to end

135
00:07:28,079 --> 00:07:30,959
the year or not Miami, NC State in Florida to

136
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,600
end the year. So Norvel needs to win two out

137
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,000
of the next three to be Bowl eligible. We still

138
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
don't know the status of Norvel. All those discussions are

139
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,399
probably gonna happen at the end of the year. My

140
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:43,759
gut tells me he's gonna stay for one more year.

141
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,279
He's boasting in the media this week that his team

142
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:50,360
is very close and is gonna win a championship sooner

143
00:07:50,439 --> 00:07:53,079
rather than later. We will see how that works out

144
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,959
up in Tallahassee. But a very interesting next three weeks

145
00:07:55,959 --> 00:07:59,240
in Tallahassee for Mike Norvel. They better play well and

146
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:01,839
better not get beat soundly by one of these by

147
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,480
Virginia Tech ORNCI State, or that could be the end

148
00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:07,879
of the road in my view for the Novelle tenure

149
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:12,519
in Tallahassee. USF Thursday night they played Thursday night beat

150
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,480
UTSA fifty five to twenty three in Tampa. Raymond James

151
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,199
the highlight of this game Byron Brown fourteen to fifteen

152
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,800
for two thirty nine in two scores. Ran for another

153
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,959
one hundred and nine yards rushing Keishawan Singleton four catches

154
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,959
for one to twenty two in a touchdown. But this

155
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:31,560
game got decided early. Two defensive touchdowns by the Bulls

156
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,960
defense in the first quarter got them offen flying. They

157
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:40,440
beat an overmatched UTSA squad. USF heads to Navy Saturday

158
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,399
in a showdown game up in Annapolis. We don't know

159
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,360
the status of Blake Horvaff, the Navy quarterback, the dual threat,

160
00:08:48,039 --> 00:08:50,320
a really good quarterback. He did not play last week

161
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,159
at Notre Dame they got beat soundly by the Irish.

162
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:57,600
Was Brian Newberry holding him out for this game or

163
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,519
was he truly injured where he couldn't play. We don't

164
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,879
know status of the atas of this recording is we

165
00:09:03,919 --> 00:09:07,799
don't know the status of the game of Blake Horvath's status.

166
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,080
USF is a ten and a half point favorite on

167
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,519
the road, which is a little high for me. That

168
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,960
might give you some indication that he might not play,

169
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,759
if you're if you're speaking of horvaf But again, I

170
00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:20,759
think this Navy game is gonna be competitive no matter

171
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:24,360
who plays. That running attack of Navy is real. They

172
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:27,039
figure out ways. It's gonna be a slower game. They're

173
00:09:27,039 --> 00:09:29,679
gonna try to possess the ball from USF. Can this

174
00:09:29,879 --> 00:09:33,919
USF defense stop this option attack by Navy? That will

175
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,080
be the key for me. If they can, they're gonna

176
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,320
win comfortably because I think they will score on Navy.

177
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,720
But if they can't, this will be a knock it out,

178
00:09:40,759 --> 00:09:47,080
grinded out game. Less possessions coaching Alex take the points

179
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,000
when you need to take points. Don't be don't be

180
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,360
so reckless on fourth down. You got away with it

181
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,840
so far in the In the Memphis game, you'll lost

182
00:09:54,879 --> 00:09:57,919
the game, but you've gotten some help. Don't be reckless,

183
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:01,559
Alex Golish with your decision making any game. Everything can't

184
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,240
be go forward on fourth down. Okay. You have to

185
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,600
have some awareness of how the game's going, how your

186
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:09,519
defense is playing and such. Let your defense be a

187
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:15,320
factor for you for USF. UCF falls to four and four.

188
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,320
They lose at Baylor thirty to three. Just a ho

189
00:10:17,519 --> 00:10:20,960
hum beat down in Waco. They are off this week.

190
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,120
Not much to say here on this game, soundly beaten

191
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,120
by Dave Randa in the Baylor Bears. Again. UCF falls

192
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:32,279
to four and four and off. This week. We mentioned Miami.

193
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,320
They beat Syracuse thirty eight ten. The offense continues to

194
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,120
struggle and takes a while to get going. Carson Beck

195
00:10:39,159 --> 00:10:42,519
did throw for two to forty seven in a touchdown. Again,

196
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:45,039
you heard the comments. If you heard the comments from

197
00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:48,879
the CFP chairman, he's concerned about the Miami offense. That

198
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,600
defense is good. We know they're good, but the Miami

199
00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:54,480
offense has been sporadic the last three weeks. I know

200
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:57,360
they've scored some points late, but the first half of

201
00:10:57,399 --> 00:11:00,440
these games, the last two weeks against Stanford and series

202
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,000
have not been good enough. And that offense has got

203
00:11:03,039 --> 00:11:06,600
to get it going. And Carson Beck's the spearhead behind that.

204
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:09,399
He's got to play better, gotta get it going quicker,

205
00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:12,240
and you gotta beat these teams soundly. That your heavy

206
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,320
favorites against beaten. So they are number eleven in the CFP.

207
00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:17,440
We will see if that holds up. But they got

208
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,440
to keep winning games, and they got to go beat

209
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,120
Pittsburgh and they maybe need a little more chaos and

210
00:11:22,159 --> 00:11:25,080
the ACC as well. Wouldn't hurt the Miami cause there.

211
00:11:25,159 --> 00:11:28,279
So FAU goes to four and five forty to twenty

212
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,240
one win over Tulsa. Caden veld Camp throws for two

213
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:35,000
seventy two and three touchdowns, Jay Shawn Platt five catches

214
00:11:35,159 --> 00:11:38,519
for one fourteen shields. Dutton runs ten carries for one

215
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,399
oh seven in a touchdown. They are at two lane

216
00:11:41,799 --> 00:11:44,919
on Saturday. Can be a spoiler here, two lanes in

217
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,279
line for the American Championship game if they keep winning.

218
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,320
With John Summral Jake Retz Laughing Company went up to

219
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,759
Memphis and had a big win on Friday against the

220
00:11:53,799 --> 00:11:57,960
Memphis Tigers. Can FAU and Willie Simmons, or I'm sorry,

221
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,600
not Willy Simmons, he's FIU. Can the Owls be a

222
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,679
spoiler up in New Orleans this Saturday? They will head

223
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:10,759
to Tulane to face the Green Wave on Saturday. And lastly,

224
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,440
FIU goes to four and five. They have a nice

225
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:17,519
win at Middle Tennessee fifty six thirty. They are at

226
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,200
Liberty this Saturday. Joe Pozanski throws for two fifty seven

227
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,960
and four touchdowns. Alex Perry five catches for seventy one

228
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,679
and two touchdowns, So a nice job there by. Willie

229
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:30,759
Simmons and the Panthers to get to four and five,

230
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:37,080
got an opportunity to get Bowl eligible again. Keep winning games, FIU,

231
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,759
keep winning games FAU to try to get Bowl eligible.

232
00:12:39,879 --> 00:12:41,360
It would be good for the state of Florida if

233
00:12:41,399 --> 00:12:44,120
those two teams can get eligible for Bowl games. Will

234
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:47,759
helping the recruiting, helping the transfer portal as well as well.

235
00:12:47,879 --> 00:12:53,679
So again, Miami number eleven, USF number twelve. Lots of

236
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,519
work still to be done here as we move through November.

237
00:12:56,799 --> 00:13:00,000
We're a couple of weeks away from Thanksgiving. We're gonna

238
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,759
talk to Mike Grace here in just a second again

239
00:13:02,879 --> 00:13:06,960
talking about Miami, talking about the Florida coaching search and such.

240
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:11,120
So enjoy again, enjoy the last couple of weeks of

241
00:13:11,159 --> 00:13:13,320
the college football Season's still a lot of drama left

242
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,000
to be had. Florida can be a spoiler here for

243
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:20,480
all against old Miss Florida State. Kind of no more

244
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,279
games on their schedule to be spoilers in, but they

245
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,759
need to play well to finish the season, and Miami

246
00:13:25,799 --> 00:13:27,879
still has a ton to play for as well as

247
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,240
USF with their game at Navy on Saturday. Quick update

248
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:35,080
on the Bucks in the NFL circuit. Bucks lose twenty

249
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,399
eight twenty three to the New England Patriots over the weekend.

250
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:43,039
Mayfield played okay, was not very in my view, did

251
00:13:43,039 --> 00:13:45,200
not play a very good game. I thought he missed

252
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,639
some some poor reds and some bad throws. They end

253
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,039
up losing to give up two long runs and a

254
00:13:51,039 --> 00:13:54,480
long touchdown path Trevion Henderson and the Patriots. What a

255
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,039
job by Mike Vrabel and that Patriots squad. Winning at Buffalo,

256
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,879
now winning at Tampa. They got a great opportunity to

257
00:14:00,879 --> 00:14:03,480
win the AFC East, potentially be a one or two

258
00:14:03,519 --> 00:14:07,000
seed in the AFC Conference. Give all the credit to

259
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,960
New England again, I don't think the Bucks played. They

260
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,120
played a B minus game in my view. Gave up

261
00:14:13,159 --> 00:14:15,600
two long runs to Trayvon Henderson, which you can't do,

262
00:14:15,919 --> 00:14:19,759
and gave up a huge long third down touchdown and

263
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,000
another long third down conversion. Not the best effort by

264
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:26,879
Bowls and the Buccaneers. The offense needs some help on

265
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,879
the outside. Gotta get healthy, gotta get Bucky Irving back.

266
00:14:30,919 --> 00:14:33,679
They got a tough game at Buffalo this Sunday, coming

267
00:14:33,679 --> 00:14:36,759
off of a terrible loss to the Miami Dolphins. Bucky

268
00:14:36,759 --> 00:14:39,360
Irving probably will not play God Wins most likely not

269
00:14:39,399 --> 00:14:42,399
gonna play either, so another tough game. Speaking of Buffalo,

270
00:14:42,759 --> 00:14:46,360
they got throttled by the Miami Dolphins. Give the Dolphins credit,

271
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:50,759
Mike McDaniel. They pounded up the Buffalo Bills a chan

272
00:14:50,879 --> 00:14:53,720
with a couple of long runs long bombed to Jalen Waddle.

273
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:56,320
They moved to three and seven on the year. Give

274
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:00,000
McDaniel credit for getting that team ready to play. That defense.

275
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:03,639
Steimy Josh Allen played really well, so give all the

276
00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:06,960
credit in the world to the Miami Dolphins. There. In

277
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:10,679
week ten, Miami heads over to Madrid, Spain to play

278
00:15:10,679 --> 00:15:14,399
the Washington Commanders. That'll be the international game this week.

279
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,279
We'll see that on the nine p thirty on Sunday morning,

280
00:15:17,919 --> 00:15:19,559
So we'll see if they can put another one together,

281
00:15:19,559 --> 00:15:22,919
a winnable game against Washington. No, Jayden Daniels, that team

282
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:29,159
is in massive struggle, massive down, downslide, downfall with the

283
00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,360
Commanders as well. Jacksonville with the most gruesome loss of

284
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,639
the weekend up twenty nine to ten going to the

285
00:15:35,679 --> 00:15:39,120
fourth quarter, and Liam Cohen and the Jags lose thirty

286
00:15:39,159 --> 00:15:41,679
six to twenty nine, give up twenty six points in

287
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,480
the fourth quarter to Davis Mills backup quarterback, and that

288
00:15:45,559 --> 00:15:51,720
Houston Texans team just a meltdown again. You know, a

289
00:15:51,759 --> 00:15:53,879
game you can't lose when you're up twenty nine to

290
00:15:53,879 --> 00:15:57,960
ten in the fourth quarter. Give Davis Mills credit ran

291
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,279
in the game winning touchdown to put them up already

292
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,759
to twenty nine, scoring the last play of the game.

293
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,120
For those for those of you investing in the game,

294
00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:07,360
that was not what you were looking for. If you

295
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:11,360
had Jacksonville plus the one point which bumped the number

296
00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:14,639
to plus seven, But the Jags with a brutal loss

297
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:17,279
in division on the road in Houston for a game

298
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:21,759
they had to win again follow another game behind the

299
00:16:21,799 --> 00:16:24,879
Indianapolis Colts in the division race. They still are in

300
00:16:24,919 --> 00:16:27,840
the seventh spot in the AFC from a playoff perspective

301
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,240
for Liam Cohen, but just a brutal loss for the Jaguars.

302
00:16:32,399 --> 00:16:37,840
Lawrence played okay, not great. No Brian Thomas in the game.

303
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,639
They need, they need to get it together. They host

304
00:16:40,759 --> 00:16:45,200
the LA Chargers this week at home in in Duval,

305
00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:47,360
but you gotta figure out a way to win this game.

306
00:16:47,399 --> 00:16:51,120
Tough matchup with the Chargers coming to town, but again

307
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,759
a brutal, brutal loss for Liam Cohen and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

308
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,240
There's are recaps previews for this week again. Mike Grayce

309

of all Right, welcome back to Florida Football Insiders podcast.

337
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,720
We are now welcomed by a man who covers the

338
00:18:51,759 --> 00:18:54,839
SEC in the South basically every day of the year

339
00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:59,119
on his radio show Monday through Friday, Pressboxradio dot com,

340
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,720
host of the press Box based out of Atlanta. My buddy,

341
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,119
my co host, he lets me gives me the opportunity

342
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:06,720
to get on there a couple of days a week.

343
00:19:06,759 --> 00:19:08,400
Mister Mike Grace, welcome back.

344
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 3: Sir forourt and year old. Are uab logos there?

345
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,279
Speaker 1: Because I think yes, like that? Yeah, we liked that.

346
00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:18,039
Jamaica through the Court. We had some cold weather in

347
00:19:18,039 --> 00:19:20,000
the South this week. How you like the cold weather?

348
00:19:20,079 --> 00:19:21,039
You're a cold weather guy?

349
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,839
Speaker 3: Not really, no, no, thank you, No, there's a reason

350
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,759
I live in the South. But you know, it is

351
00:19:25,839 --> 00:19:28,039
November and so it's a little bit cold, but it's

352
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,960
supposed to warm back up again the next couple of days,

353
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,279
so we can stand it in the you know, little

354
00:19:32,279 --> 00:19:33,240
little doses.

355
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,839
Speaker 1: Here and there. Yeah. So you cover the SEC all

356
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,319
year round, whether it's whatever, football, all that stuff, all

357
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,599
the all the sports. You don't be a little thought.

358
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,480
Week two of the college football Playoff not a whole

359
00:19:43,519 --> 00:19:45,759
lot of change at the top of the rankings. You

360
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,279
still got Texas A and M Alabama three and four,

361
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,880
but you do have Texas at ten. You got Miami

362
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,319
who moved from eighteen to eleven, and then the USF

363
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,440
Bulls slid into the twelfth spot. Give me a thought.

364
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,799
Speaker 3: You know, that's a big spot for us, that team.

365
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,200
We talked to Tom Lougan Bill on today's show, and

366
00:20:03,279 --> 00:20:06,960
Tom loves South Florida. He really loves the Bulls and says,

367
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,880
look out if they if they could get in the playoffs,

368
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,160
they could they could win a game or two. So

369
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,799
so I absolutely love them. I'm still confused. I mean,

370
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,599
the bulk of it, I'm okay with. I'm still just

371
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,359
confused at the top though, Jason, I've looked at resumes

372
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,079
and I'm trying to figure out whyy Ohio State has

373
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,400
a better resume than Indiana or Texas A and M.

374
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,400
I you know, it seems that that Week three win

375
00:20:29,559 --> 00:20:32,440
at Notre Dame seems to be you know, I mean,

376
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,839
for the for the aggies of Texas A and M.

377
00:20:34,839 --> 00:20:37,480
I would think that's a Biggie. But the Buckey's Week

378
00:20:37,559 --> 00:20:40,960
one win over a Texas team that was number one

379
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,799
then number ten now fourteen to seven, a win at home, right,

380
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,279
how is that as impressive as going on the road

381
00:20:47,279 --> 00:20:49,440
to winning at Notre Dame, which is what A and

382
00:20:49,559 --> 00:20:51,799
M did. And look the Hoosiers, they've got back to

383
00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:54,519
back road wins at number twenty one, Iowa, number eight,

384
00:20:54,559 --> 00:21:01,079
Oregon and decent. I don't understand why Ohio States number one.

385
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,680
That's that's my biggest question, yep.

386
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 1: And I think you'll A and M's gonna have more opportunity.

387
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:07,839
A and M places Texas here in a couple of weeks,

388
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,000
so they're gonna have another opportunity. Then they're gona an

389
00:21:10,039 --> 00:21:13,160
opportunity to play potentially in the title game against George Alabama.

390
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,880
You know, whichever combination of those teams make it, So

391
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,039
those could change. I think if A and M runs

392
00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:21,599
the table and Ohio State runs the table, I think

393
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,079
A and M might be the pick at the end

394
00:21:23,079 --> 00:21:24,680
of the day. I think. So.

395
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:27,839
Speaker 3: I just again, I keep waiting to hear this committee

396
00:21:27,839 --> 00:21:30,119
talk about the new metrics they're using, and I haven't

397
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,480
seen that yet. What what I see? So far from

398
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,480
them is them using the old eye test, which tells

399
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,599
them Ohio States of defending national champion, and so they're

400
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,119
gonna be number one until we see something different. I

401
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,039
just I don't see where the metrics have come into

402
00:21:43,039 --> 00:21:46,680
play at all. But again I'm not looking at the

403
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:48,079
same number as they are, so we'll see.

404
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,880
Speaker 1: Give me a thought on Miami. Last week they were eighteen,

405
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,839
moved all the way up to eleven because of the

406
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,200
more more so probably because of the carnage elsewhere in

407
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,440
the conference, everybody else losing what and obviously the thing

408
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,720
Miami's gonna lean on. We beat Notre Dame exactly to

409
00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:07,440
day man and we both got two losses. They're gonna

410
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,759
say we should be in. We beat Notre Day if

411
00:22:09,759 --> 00:22:10,799
they win the rest of their.

412
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 3: Games, and it certainly helps the ACC in their quest

413
00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:16,960
for multiple bids. Okay, so if they if they get

414
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,799
a champion and the champions, you would assume, I know

415
00:22:19,839 --> 00:22:22,599
there is a possibility there's Folks have talked about the

416
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,079
possibility that the ACC champion doesn't make it, it's jumped

417
00:22:27,079 --> 00:22:30,039
by a Sun Belt champion or an American Conference champion.

418
00:22:30,079 --> 00:22:33,599
That is a possibility, but it is it's far fetched somewhat.

419
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,759
So I would think that the champion of the a

420
00:22:35,759 --> 00:22:37,759
CC is gonna get there. And as long as Miami

421
00:22:37,799 --> 00:22:40,240
can run the table with what they've got finished with

422
00:22:40,319 --> 00:22:42,359
just two losses, I think they've got a good case

423
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:43,160
to be in as well.

424
00:22:43,519 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, and that's that's gonna be again. The carnage

425
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,480
in the ACC go ahead.

426
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 3: Although they've got almost zero chance of making the ACC game,

427
00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:53,720
they could still end up in the in the CFB.

428
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,559
Speaker 1: Right. No, that's that's that's the crazy part is that's

429
00:22:56,559 --> 00:22:58,359
how all right? I want to take you down to

430
00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:02,079
the Gainesville. We know they that that program is kind

431
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:05,240
of cratering. They got crushed last week in Lexington. They

432
00:23:05,279 --> 00:23:08,480
played well the week the first the first new coach

433
00:23:08,559 --> 00:23:10,960
game bump you typically get when you have an interim

434
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:14,119
coach that played well against Georgia. They got boat raced

435
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,480
in Lexington last week. What do you what do you

436
00:23:16,519 --> 00:23:18,440
see in that What do you see in that program?

437
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,759
And what's the kind of guy they need to stabilize

438
00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:23,480
that program in Gainesville? Yeah?

439
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: I don't know what to think because I look at

440
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,680
every every coaching search you look at. Right now, Lane

441
00:23:28,759 --> 00:23:31,599
Kiffin's the odds on favorite, whether it's Florida. Look, I

442
00:23:31,599 --> 00:23:33,319
talked to guy. I talked to a buddy in LSU

443
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:35,680
today who's got some inside source. He still believes the

444
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,839
boosters down there believe they can get Lane to Baton Rouge.

445
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,880
Now you've got to talk about him going to New

446
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,359
York to reunite with Jackson Dart. The Giants all leagues

447
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,079
to the New York Giants. So so I don't know.

448
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,960
I mean, it really is a question. Lane Kiffin is

449
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,599
still the odds on favorite. Eli Drinkwitz, I don't see.

450
00:23:53,279 --> 00:23:56,119
I'll say this, Eli, if he had a chance to

451
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,079
get out of Como, he probably should because he's taking

452
00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:03,000
that program about it far again, I think. And then

453
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:05,359
the other names I'm seeing on the list are James Franklin,

454
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,279
Jed Fish, Jeff Bram who, by the way, Louis was

455
00:24:08,279 --> 00:24:11,880
working on him and try to keep him, Brent Key,

456
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,160
he's already said he's not leaving Georgia Tech, John Somerawl,

457
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,440
who most believe is the odds on favor to get

458
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,680
the Auburn job. And then Clark Lee leaving Vanderbilt for Florida.

459
00:24:21,799 --> 00:24:24,200
Maybe I guess I don't have a clue as to

460
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,599
who's gonna be the next next head coach for the Gators. Man,

461
00:24:26,599 --> 00:24:27,160
I really don't.

462
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 1: And the interesting dynamic is in your world where you're

463
00:24:30,759 --> 00:24:33,680
from the state of Mississippi. Where does Florida go this

464
00:24:33,759 --> 00:24:37,839
week Oh, miss yes, exactly. Not think behind the scenes,

465
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:42,359
somebody's talking to somebody Jimmy Sexton at the steakhouse or

466
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,039
whatever the place is to go have a nice meal

467
00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:46,559
in Oxford this weekend.

468
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 3: I just think, you know, we'll see if Lane leaves Oxford.

469
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,519
I think it's Gainesville is where he's going. We've talked

470
00:24:52,519 --> 00:24:54,680
about this. His wife, Layla, who they seem to have

471
00:24:54,799 --> 00:24:58,559
reconciled pictures on social media of them together at Halloween

472
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,920
and some other things in her face family is from Gainesville.

473
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,200
She is a Florida grad. So I see a lot

474
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:07,279
of reasons why that would work Lane and Baton Rouge

475
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,920
just doesn't seem to fit to me. I do think

476
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,200
that if he goes National Football League, which could be

477
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,880
a possibility somewhere, but I think he's still relatively young.

478
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,519
He's just barely fifty, is he not, And so he's

479
00:25:18,559 --> 00:25:21,119
got a son in high school there in Oxford. He's

480
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,799
a daughter that's attending the University of Mississippi. I can

481
00:25:23,799 --> 00:25:25,599
see him just stay and put for a couple of years,

482
00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:28,119
and then once they're they're moving on and doing their thing,

483
00:25:29,039 --> 00:25:31,400
then he could maybe try that National Football League. Trust me,

484
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,839
they'll be an opening somewhere along the line and somebody

485
00:25:34,839 --> 00:25:36,640
will be willing to hire Lane Kiffin for sure.

486
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,319
Speaker 1: And in world of the SEC, you got a lot

487
00:25:39,319 --> 00:25:42,720
of jobs at Arkansas, Auburn, Florida. You might have another

488
00:25:42,759 --> 00:25:45,480
one or two maybe South Carolina. Yeah, and then another

489
00:25:45,519 --> 00:25:48,599
place that's not SEC, but it's in the Deep South. Here,

490
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,680
Florida State. Give me a thought about what's going on

491
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,039
there in Tallahassee. We all thought after they'd beat Alabama

492
00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:58,319
week one, here we go again. We're back on the rise.

493
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,440
And boy, it has just been ruggle city since well.

494
00:26:01,519 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 3: Word tells me Florida State just doesn't have the money

495
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,119
to get rid of Mike Norbelle. It would be close

496
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:09,440
to a sixty million dollar buy out if I'm not Yeah,

497
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,720
and then and for and for a school that's already

498
00:26:12,759 --> 00:26:16,759
sued the ACC because they want more money. I just

499
00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:18,599
don't know where that's going to come from. For Florida

500
00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,079
State to do that, so I would think Mike Norbel

501
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:24,480
stays put. And I'll be honest, I would think South

502
00:26:24,519 --> 00:26:27,119
Carolina right now, if they look at the landscape with

503
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,960
all the other openings, Shane members looking pretty good to

504
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,480
me right now. I know it's been a down year

505
00:26:31,519 --> 00:26:35,119
for them, but the guy loves Carolina. He absolutely adores it.

506
00:26:35,519 --> 00:26:38,799
And uh yeah, i'd be I would be nervous about

507
00:26:38,839 --> 00:26:41,519
trying to jump into what is now and already very

508
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:43,640
crowded a coaching vacancy pool.

509
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: Man. Yeah, it's again. It'll be interesting what the first

510
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,240
domino to faults. And I think everybody's willing to wait

511
00:26:49,279 --> 00:26:51,960
for Lane, and I think Lane's probably gonna here in

512
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:53,880
the next couple of weeks, is going to have to

513
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,039
give somebody a wink wink of some type either I'm

514
00:26:57,079 --> 00:26:59,279
coming or I'm not, so they can move on to

515
00:26:59,319 --> 00:26:59,880
the next guy.

516
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,559
Speaker 3: And can he can he somehow tell Florida? Yes, But

517
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,759
I've got to wait until I get old Miss through

518
00:27:05,799 --> 00:27:07,240
the through the CFP.

519
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 1: Keep it quiet and keep it quiet, And I don't.

520
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,079
Speaker 3: Know how that's gonna happen, man, And you're right though,

521
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,440
I think that has to be the first domino that falls,

522
00:27:15,039 --> 00:27:19,039
unless unless LSU believes they're not gonna get Lane, or

523
00:27:19,079 --> 00:27:21,519
Florida believes they're not gonna get Lane, and they go

524
00:27:21,599 --> 00:27:24,640
somewhere else then Until then, I think both of those

525
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,440
places are holding out with hopes of getting Lane Kiffin,

526
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:29,119
and everybody seems to want.

527
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,319
Speaker 1: Yeah, for a guy that knows the state Misissippi, What

528
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:34,440
is Lane Kiffin? I mean, just we obviously we know

529
00:27:34,839 --> 00:27:37,559
his charisma and all the stuff he does, but what

530
00:27:37,559 --> 00:27:39,799
what do you respect about Lane that he's kind of

531
00:27:39,839 --> 00:27:44,000
grown professionally and matured as an adult as a human being?

532
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,599
First and foremost, What are the things that you really

533
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:48,480
like for Lane? And what what things would make you

534
00:27:48,519 --> 00:27:49,720
nervous if you brought Lane in.

535
00:27:49,839 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 2: Now?

536
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,559
Speaker 3: I was really beginning, I was really beginning to like

537
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:55,440
Lane Kiffin and then he goes and trolls my Mississippi

538
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:57,839
State Bulldogs again this week. If you didn't hear when

539
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,440
ascid halftime on the Old miss Radio network, you know

540
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:03,119
what he thought of the first half. His early response was, well,

541
00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:06,039
it's great to see Georgia boat racing Mississippi State. Oh

542
00:28:06,079 --> 00:28:08,799
you mean our game? Oh yeah, we're doing okay. So

543
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,000
you know Lane is gonna be Lane in that regard.

544
00:28:11,039 --> 00:28:12,880
But I do think you know, he's learned not to

545
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,160
go for it twelve times on fourth down off the

546
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,359
most part. He did that in one game. What was it, Jason,

547
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:18,880
because we talked about that earlier this year.

548
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 2: Do it?

549
00:28:19,759 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 3: Lane, come on, be the new Lane, not the old lane.

550
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,319
I do think he's matured. I know this that the

551
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,519
guy can coach him. What he's really done at Old

552
00:28:27,519 --> 00:28:30,440
Miss that made the difference is he's made that place

553
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:34,240
the cool place to recruit too. Yip the whole sip thing.

554
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,160
I mean, he's made it cool to go to Oxford,

555
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:41,000
which has not always been the case, especially around the Southeast.

556
00:28:41,359 --> 00:28:43,680
But he's got guys coming there now to play and

557
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,359
to make it in the National Football League. You look

558
00:28:45,359 --> 00:28:47,319
at guys who have come through his program who are

559
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:49,880
playing on Sundays now and doing so with big paychecks.

560
00:28:50,079 --> 00:28:52,160
So he's made it cool to go to Old Miss,

561
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,279
and right now he certainly has the advantage. Who As

562
00:28:54,279 --> 00:28:56,960
a Mississippi State fan, I'd love to see Lane take

563
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:58,319
one of those jobs and get him out.

564
00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 1: Of Oxford, man, please, yeah, please, no doubt. All right, last,

565
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,480
when I get you out of here talking about Miami.

566
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,200
Just a minute on Miami, Mario crystal Ball. They just seem,

567
00:29:06,319 --> 00:29:09,240
for whatever reason, they've got all the talent in the world.

568
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,920
I think if you put them talent for talent, they're

569
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:14,079
right there, top five in the country against anybody. But

570
00:29:14,119 --> 00:29:16,519
they can't Carson Beck a guy I know you've covered

571
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,440
a bunch of his Georgia days. Can you know can he?

572
00:29:19,799 --> 00:29:21,799
Can they not slip on the banana peel? Can they

573
00:29:21,839 --> 00:29:25,480
win three more games? Especially the pit game at the

574
00:29:25,599 --> 00:29:27,160
end here is going to be critical.

575
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 3: Has Carson Has Carson Beck shown us he can win

576
00:29:30,519 --> 00:29:34,160
a game for them? Yeah? I mean has he? Because

577
00:29:34,599 --> 00:29:37,480
they got everything else they really do that. They're great

578
00:29:37,519 --> 00:29:40,000
upfront on both sides of the ball. They're they're they're

579
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,319
great on the back end defensively. I don't know what

580
00:29:42,359 --> 00:29:46,680
the problem is other than the quarterback positions.

581
00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:48,759
Speaker 1: Mario coaching, his in game management's a little.

582
00:29:48,519 --> 00:29:51,319
Speaker 3: Bit that you're right, the head coach in the quarterback,

583
00:29:51,319 --> 00:29:53,039
which you would think of the two more supportive things

584
00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:55,839
for a football team, might be the biggest question marks

585
00:29:55,839 --> 00:29:58,359
for Miami. So we'll see. But again, the committee did

586
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,960
them a favor by moving them up as far as

587
00:30:00,119 --> 00:30:02,160
they did this week. If they can run the table

588
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,319
and hang in there. With two losses, they've got a

589
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:07,599
legitimate shot at least arguing their case to make the

590
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:08,480
twelve team field.

591
00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:10,559
Speaker 1: And who you like in Georgia? Who you like Arch?

592
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:13,000
You like Georgia Texas? Again, we all thought this was

593
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,680
going to be a showdown game, but Texas is just

594
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,480
you know, skated by in so many of these games.

595
00:30:19,559 --> 00:30:22,440
You're a Mississippi State game, the Kentucky game. But they

596
00:30:22,519 --> 00:30:25,359
beat Vanderbilt pretty convincingly. I know this score at the

597
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,920
end got closed, but they beat Vandy pretty good two

598
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:28,480
weeks ago.

599
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,559
Speaker 3: They're beginning to really look like the Texas we thought

600
00:30:31,559 --> 00:30:33,240
they would be at the beginning of the year. Art

601
00:30:33,319 --> 00:30:35,559
seems to you know, not be trying so hard to

602
00:30:35,559 --> 00:30:37,839
take the check down to do little things. He's progressing

603
00:30:38,079 --> 00:30:43,079
and doing better, But until mcgunnar Stockton continues to impress me. Folks,

604
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,480
you know, dog him about his inability to throw the

605
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,680
ball deep, but at the same time, when he needs

606
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:49,519
to throw one thirty yards down the field and drop

607
00:30:49,519 --> 00:30:51,440
it in a bucket, I've seen him do it. So

608
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,240
I'm beginning to think, you know, they ran the ball

609
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:55,279
against Misissippi State so well last week. I don't know

610
00:30:55,319 --> 00:30:57,920
whether that's whether that's Fool's goald or not, because the

611
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,559
State defense is still pretty weak. Especially again it's the run,

612
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:02,319
so I don't know what that means. The three hundred

613
00:31:02,319 --> 00:31:04,759
and five rushing yards they put up in Starkville, they're

614
00:31:04,799 --> 00:31:07,519
not going to do that, certainly against this Texas team.

615
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:08,279
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

616
00:31:08,319 --> 00:31:11,359
Speaker 3: I just like the home field advantage for Georgia. I

617
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:13,799
still think that the Bulldogs probably have the edge this weekend.

618
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,839

00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:44,200
It's hard to believe it's almost over, Mike Grace.

628
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:44,960
Speaker 3: That's the truth.

629
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:45,119
Speaker 1: Man.

630
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 3: It's November. Can you believe it? And yet just three

631
00:31:47,519 --> 00:31:49,519
weeks left in the regular season. That is really hard

632
00:31:49,519 --> 00:31:52,079
to believe it. It's been a fantastic season. Can't wait

633
00:31:52,119 --> 00:31:53,640
to see how the next couple of months play out.

634
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:53,839
