11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,359
we have got a ton to get into, including a

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,280
pair how about a pair of shutouts last week Steven

13
00:00:39,799 --> 00:00:42,159
two shutouts and we'll tell you which way those went.

14
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,640
We got a massive game on tap this weekend, Army

15
00:00:45,679 --> 00:00:51,079
taking the nation's longest winning streak into New York City

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,600
to take on Notre Dame. We will break that one down.

17
00:00:53,679 --> 00:00:56,399
We also talk about Air Force's upcoming game. Navy has

18
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,200
got a buy this weekend. We got a Travis Mannion

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:01,520
Foundation on a segment. We got game balls to give

20
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:05,480
out from last weekend picks to make for this upcoming weekend. Stephen,

21
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:08,439
how how the hell are you give us a Poppy's

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,680
topping report on the pie that you will be devouring

23
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:15,519
either right now during breaks or after we are done.

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: It's gonna be after we are done.

25
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 4: My wife, My wife decided that with with a lightning victory,

26
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:28,439
that a fifty percent off pizza was a good deal today,

27
00:01:28,519 --> 00:01:33,400
and I completely wholeheartedly agree with that. So it is,

28
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,239
it is like one time, it is a one topping,

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,359
and obviously if it's pizza.

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 3: That means it's meat. So it is.

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:46,079
Speaker 4: It's just a just pepperoni this week. So you want

32
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:49,959
to go with just sausage now? Now, my my wife,

33
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,640
my wife likes if it's just a single meat, it's pepperoni.

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,640
If it's if she you know, we'll do the full meat.

35
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,640
But this was a fifty off of a one topping,

36
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:02,959
a large gun topping.

37
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,159
Speaker 2: So all right, I get a little deeper. I gotta

38
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,199
dig a little deeper. Do you like the thin crust

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,240
that Papa Yan's is doing? Now? Do you like the

40
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,360
regular Like? What kind of crust are we going with?

41
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 4: Well, we're just a regular crust tie. I mean, I

42
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,560
don't mind. I don't mind the thin crust. The tavern

43
00:02:17,599 --> 00:02:23,240
style pizza from Chicago is great. I pretty much any

44
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,439
type of pizza is good pizza. Her pizza is not

45
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:30,400
really pizza though, like deep dish Chicago style deep dish

46
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:31,479
and really pizza.

47
00:02:32,039 --> 00:02:34,879
Speaker 3: It's like kind of like lasagna or casserole.

48
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:42,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, but tavern style poe good. Uh, pan pizza fine regular?

49
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,719
Uh you know what what people will call New York

50
00:02:45,759 --> 00:02:48,960
pizza and I just call pizza is his thumbs up.

51
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,000
Pretty much any any pizza is good pizza.

52
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:51,479
Speaker 3: All right.

53
00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: So Lou mal Natti's and Giordano's fans, don't get me.

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 3: No no, no, no, do not get me. Do not

55
00:02:58,840 --> 00:02:59,800
do not twist it.

56
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,439
Speaker 4: I love deep dish pizza, but it's not pizza if

57
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:05,240
you have to if you have.

58
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:07,319
Speaker 3: To eat it with a fork and a knife and

59
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,719
you're not in Europe.

60
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 2: That's not I. I am kidding with you. I am

61
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,520
kidding with you. So I don't want.

62
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:17,159
Speaker 4: I don't want the folks that Loo Luma Almadi's and

63
00:03:17,439 --> 00:03:20,759
Pizza Ri and Duet and Giordano's.

64
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: Uh you know I I love I love them.

65
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,319
Speaker 4: We love for them to sponsor send us a frozen

66
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,280
pie or tow or you know, please good for that

67
00:03:32,479 --> 00:03:33,000
many other.

68
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: Money, no bit more, bigger pizza lovers on this earth

69
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,759
than Steven Carney and Pryce Atkinson right here. So bring

70
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:42,879
it on, folks, bring and we can do it. Any style.

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,879
You can do, round, you can do square hand tossing.

72
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,240
Old Detroit style is my favorite. So let's don't even

73
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,879
get me going on that. My wife is not listening

74
00:03:53,919 --> 00:03:57,639
to me right now, because I love Detroit style, all right.

75
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,280
With the clock is ticking, we got to it to

76
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:02,520
it because we got a lot to do. One thing

77
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,960
we can tell you real quick. Army obviously was off

78
00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:07,639
last weekend as they prepare to get ready for Notre

79
00:04:07,719 --> 00:04:10,080
Dame this weekend. I can tell you that Army checked

80
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,960
in at number eighteen in the AP poll, number seventeen

81
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,439
again in the coaches poll. But they did move up

82
00:04:15,439 --> 00:04:18,120
five spots in the College Football playoff rankings, and so

83
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:22,360
they now check in at number nineteen, still with dare

84
00:04:22,399 --> 00:04:24,319
I say it, a lot more work to do, but

85
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:26,519
they have done everything they needed to do so far,

86
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,240
but still more ahead for the Black Knight. So one

87
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,519
to go ahead and get that updated real quick as

88
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,319
we get out of the starting game. And so let's

89
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:35,920
get out of this gate and talk about our two

90
00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:38,959
games last weekend, Navy hosting what a lot of people

91
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,959
call was one of the biggest games in Navy Marine

92
00:04:40,959 --> 00:04:45,160
Corps memorial history, at least in recent the recent time

93
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,720
they host number twenty five two lane. But the Green

94
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,920
Wave they scattered. They give them the waffle house treatment.

95
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,560
Stephen scatter, smothered, covered, chunk top and dice, you name it.

96
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,279
Tulane get it in this game, and it was the

97
00:04:59,319 --> 00:05:02,759
Green Wave, a thirty five to nothing shutout win over

98
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,120
Navy two lane, now nine and two, seven to zero

99
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,360
in the American. Navy falls to seven and three, five

100
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,399
and two in the American with the rolling of the

101
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:14,319
Mids on Senior Day in Annapolis. Tulane did punch that

102
00:05:14,399 --> 00:05:17,079
ticket to the AAC Championship game. So they will take

103
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,600
on Army the Black Knights on December sixth, as Navy

104
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:22,199
was shut out for the first time since a fifteen

105
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,439
to nothing lost Army in twenty twenty. But Stephen, now Navy,

106
00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:29,279
who they've lost three or four. They were just simply

107
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,920
dominating every facet, turning it over twice and being limited

108
00:05:31,959 --> 00:05:34,160
to just eight first downs and one hundred and three

109
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:37,560
total yards of offense. Obviously, Lake Corbath going out in

110
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,439
the first half and not returning, factoring into Navy's offensive

111
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,160
woes as he left with a rib injury. But simply

112
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:50,120
they were outclassed in, you know, pretty much every single

113
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,160
way by Tulane. They got beat by the better team.

114
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:55,600
Tulane was the better team and it showed on Saturday.

115
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, and they played a Navy type of football game,

116
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,519
the green Wave, and because they got out to an

117
00:06:02,519 --> 00:06:05,759
early lead, and they were able to lean on the

118
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,920
run game to help to propel them and to maintain

119
00:06:11,079 --> 00:06:14,680
control of the football in time of possession, I mean

120
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,839
two hundred and twenty yards on the ground by Tulane.

121
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,319
They had three guys rushed for more than fifty yards,

122
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,839
including quarterback Darian Mensa. But I think that you know,

123
00:06:26,879 --> 00:06:30,959
when you look at what happened with this game, you know,

124
00:06:31,399 --> 00:06:36,560
I think that both of us would agree that the

125
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:38,480
better team won in this game.

126
00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 3: The more talented team won this game.

127
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 4: And I think for Navy, unfortunately, there are going to

128
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,399
be times as a service academy that you have to

129
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,439
beat teams that are better than you. Yeah, and the

130
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,759
Midshipman for all that they've done this year, and let's

131
00:06:57,759 --> 00:06:59,920
face it, they've been very good this year. They're going

132
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,160
to a bowl game this year. Yep, that that's already

133
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:08,759
been decided. Now they have not been able to beat

134
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,680
the two teams that I think that they are better,

135
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,360
that are that are better than them that you know,

136
00:07:14,439 --> 00:07:16,600
they didn't beat Notre Dame. They turned the bowl over

137
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,560
six times to the Irish and they get shot.

138
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:20,279
Speaker 3: Out by Tulane.

139
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 4: And obviously they have the two turnovers by Braxton Woodson

140
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,639
uh in this game as opposed to the zero turnovers,

141
00:07:30,639 --> 00:07:33,279
so they were minus two total in the in the

142
00:07:33,279 --> 00:07:36,879
turnover battle. You do that as a service academy, you're

143
00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:39,720
gonna be behind the eight ball to begin with. And

144
00:07:39,759 --> 00:07:42,319
when a team is better than you, you're you're not

145
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,399
gonna win those games. And Tulane proved why they are

146
00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:50,040
going to be in the American Athletic Conference Championship game

147
00:07:50,079 --> 00:07:50,720
against Army.

148
00:07:50,959 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, absolutely just didn't think it would be a

149
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,000
thirty five to nothing so one sided. I think that

150
00:07:57,079 --> 00:07:59,079
was the biggest thing. But you know, too lane cut

151
00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:01,839
not Eulaane linebacker Sam Howard had a lot to do

152
00:08:01,879 --> 00:08:04,399
with that. He intercepted a pass and then he recovered

153
00:08:04,759 --> 00:08:07,800
the fumble that you know is Tulane look This is

154
00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:10,240
the their second shutout of the season and the fourth

155
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,720
time the season they've held opponents to single digits. So

156
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,079
this is a very tough, defensive minded team. They can

157
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,000
also score. Met Willie Fritz, you know, was a I'm

158
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,879
not going to call him an offensive genius, but certainly

159
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:23,319
an offensive minded head coach with a lot of his direction,

160
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,800
and you know, recruited a lot of these players that

161
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:27,959
are obviously still there in John Sumrall, who was a

162
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,920
defensive minded guy, played you know as a linebacker safety

163
00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:34,879
he played in college. You know, kind of complimenting each

164
00:08:34,879 --> 00:08:37,919
other perfectly. But you know, Tulane quarterback Derrit Mensai, he

165
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,519
was efficient, went great to a fourteen one thirty eight

166
00:08:40,519 --> 00:08:43,919
and two touchdowns, and Makay Hughes had you know, twenty

167
00:08:43,919 --> 00:08:46,440
two carries eighty two yards for two touchdowns, and you

168
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:48,279
know that was really that was really it. You know,

169
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,799
they just kind of slowly, methodically got it done. And

170
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:52,840
you know that's you know, maybe he's just going to

171
00:08:52,919 --> 00:08:55,480
have to take this bye week and flush it. So

172
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,480
that's what they will do.

173
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 3: Comes maybe perfect time, Yeah, does it not?

174
00:08:59,519 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 4: I mean you get this, you get this week off,

175
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,440
You've got East Carolina in uh next week, and then

176
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,840
you start to prepare for your bowl game, and you've

177
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,799
got and you're gonna have, uh, you know, at least

178
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,840
a couple of weeks to prepare for that bowl game.

179
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,919
And you know, once the Christmas holiday comes around and

180
00:09:18,919 --> 00:09:23,159
and everybody starts to to leave their their campus, you know,

181
00:09:23,279 --> 00:09:26,919
the the football team's gonna be able to have, uh,

182
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,919
have their way, and it's gonna be a lot it's

183
00:09:29,919 --> 00:09:32,519
gonna be a lot more simple for them, uh, you

184
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,799
know once you know, once the holiday season begins, uh

185
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:38,639
at at the at the academy.

186
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: I mean, you know that better than anybody.

187
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:42,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially getting a week off from Blake Horvath

188
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,960
and we don't know the extent of his injury yet,

189
00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,120
is he gonna be back, what's going on, but you

190
00:09:47,159 --> 00:09:49,919
know it was a rib injury, so you know that

191
00:09:49,919 --> 00:09:52,600
that time has got to you know, favor him to heal.

192
00:09:52,639 --> 00:09:54,639
Whether he's back or not, we don't know. But then

193
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,320
also taking the account East Carolina, you know, they won

194
00:09:57,399 --> 00:09:59,519
three straight and they're high scoring right now too, and

195
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,200
you're gonna have to go to their house to do it.

196
00:10:01,279 --> 00:10:03,320
So I definitely agree with you. I think this bye

197
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,879
week comes at a perfect time for Navy and head

198
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:08,960
coach Brian Newberry his squad. All right, let's look at

199
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:13,039
our other game from last weekend, Stephen, the Air Force Academy.

200
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,440
Don't look now, but the Falcons. They have won two

201
00:10:16,519 --> 00:10:19,759
straight after shutting out Pack twelve Loaner. I guess I

202
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:23,960
shouldn't say loaner because Oregon State's got company with Washington State.

203
00:10:24,039 --> 00:10:28,000
But or air Force does shut out Oregon State on

204
00:10:28,159 --> 00:10:31,759
Senior Day in the Springs twenty eight to nothing, as

205
00:10:31,799 --> 00:10:34,639
air Force is now three and seven, four and five

206
00:10:34,799 --> 00:10:38,440
for Oregon State overall, and it was air Force's first

207
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,759
first shut first shutout. Talk about twenty twenty like the

208
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:45,000
last time Navy had been shut out, Well, this was

209
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,600
air Force's first doing the shutting out since they beat

210
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:52,240
New Mexico twenty eight to nothing back in twenty twenty.

211
00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:56,000
And here it was again, Sophomore quarterback Quentin Hayes. I

212
00:10:56,039 --> 00:10:58,440
think he's coming into his own right before our eyes, Steven,

213
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:01,080
because you have they're three and seven. But Quinn Hayes

214
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,360
just continues to play a little bit better every single week.

215
00:11:03,399 --> 00:11:06,240
And you know, he led the Falcon offense perfect throwing

216
00:11:06,279 --> 00:11:08,759
the football, five of five one ten through the air,

217
00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:11,879
and then he ran for seventeen seventeen times eighty four

218
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,399
yards and two touchdowns. And then Dylan Carson he had

219
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:16,679
another big day, rushing for a team high twenty six

220
00:11:16,759 --> 00:11:20,480
times ninety seven yards in a touchdown. And you know,

221
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,000
slowly but surely, you know, this air Force team kind

222
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,080
of you know, competition notwithstanding, you know it's starting to

223
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,000
find its footing. As Carson and Hayes led the way

224
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,080
as Air Force rolled up four hundred and ten yards

225
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,360
though Ohio, Oregon States won seventy five first downs advantage

226
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:40,679
air Force twenty three to eight. Big key in this game,

227
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,320
I think was air Force going eight to twelve on

228
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,879
third down and one to one on fourth down. The

229
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:49,000
Beavers were just if you take it fourth downs combined

230
00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:52,679
with third down just three out of fourteen. And you

231
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,799
know what that translates into, also steven time of possession.

232
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,039
Air Force had had the football almost forty two minutes

233
00:11:59,080 --> 00:11:59,720
in the shutout.

234
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,039
Speaker 4: Yep, absolutely, those are those are all great numbers. I

235
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,679
was looking at it, you know, when when you mentioned,

236
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:08,679
you know, eight of twelve on third downs whereas Oregon

237
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:10,519
State was two of ten, I thought of the old

238
00:12:10,519 --> 00:12:13,679
Bob Knight thing where he would say that he wanted

239
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,399
his guys making more free throws than the opponents took. Well,

240
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,840
you look at it. Air Force nearly converted as many

241
00:12:22,919 --> 00:12:26,720
third downs as Oregon State had in the game. And

242
00:12:26,799 --> 00:12:29,200
I think that that that's very, very impressive.

243
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:29,919
Speaker 1: And all of.

244
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:32,919
Speaker 4: The numbers that you see, you know, out rushing Oregon

245
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,279
State two hundred and seventy one to sixty nine, you know,

246
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:39,200
being perfect through the air with Quinin Hayes. Here's the

247
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,600
number that stands out, you know, for air Force, for

248
00:12:42,799 --> 00:12:47,519
wanting to make this a victory. Here the you look down,

249
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,960
you look down the chart and you look at penalties.

250
00:12:51,919 --> 00:12:57,799
Zero penalties done taken by the Falcons in this game.

251
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:02,559
That is a huge number. I mean that's great. I mean,

252
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,399
if you're Troy Calhoun, you know you can you can

253
00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:08,360
talk about Okay, you know, we still we still lost

254
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,159
a fumble. You know, we were still only even in

255
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,519
the turnover battle because you know, we picked off the

256
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,240
Oregon State's quarterback, but we also lost a fumble as well.

257
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,000
You know, you can find things if you're Troy Calhoun

258
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,399
to pick on, but you can't pick on uh, you know,

259
00:13:25,519 --> 00:13:30,240
this team not taking a single penalty in the game.

260
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:36,200
That's that's a great testament to their uh, you know,

261
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:40,879
just their awareness and being able to do their job

262
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,240
to the best of their abilities and not overstretch. You know,

263
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:49,519
you didn't see a hold, you didn't see a mindless

264
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,480
false start penalty or a delayed game.

265
00:13:52,799 --> 00:13:56,279
Speaker 3: Nothing from the Falcons. That's a great sign.

266
00:13:56,639 --> 00:13:58,879
Speaker 2: Hey, give give Oregon State a little credit to I mean,

267
00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:01,879
three penalties for twenty five yards. That's not too bad either,

268
00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:04,600
But you're right of being perfect in the penalty column.

269
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,919
Zero for zero is perfect for air Force. But to

270
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,519
Quintin Hayes first half touchdowns made it fourteen to nothing

271
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,480
at halftime, and then Dylan Carson he got in the

272
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,559
end zone early fourth and then Owen Allen a short

273
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,559
and two yard run capping an eleven play fifty three

274
00:14:18,639 --> 00:14:21,720
yard drive that took seven eighteen off the clock. That

275
00:14:21,799 --> 00:14:23,879
was all she wrote. And so air Force now has

276
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,000
won two straight and three and seven overall. Dare I

277
00:14:28,039 --> 00:14:30,519
say it could they get a third straight win this weekend,

278
00:14:30,559 --> 00:14:33,000
because it is definitely gonna be possible as they're traveling

279
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,279
to Nevada. We will talk about that one here in

280
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,840
a little bit. But Steven, game ball time you want

281
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:38,639
to lead off.

282
00:14:38,759 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I think my game ball is not going to

283
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,360
be much of a surprise. It's Quintin Hayes.

284
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,879
Speaker 4: You know, you couldn't have asked for a better performance

285
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,000
from the junior quarterback you And like you said, he's

286
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:56,679
coming into his own right in front of us, and

287
00:14:56,799 --> 00:14:59,519
he's going going to be into his senior season in

288
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:03,679
twenty twenty five. It's the perfect situation for Troy Calhoun

289
00:15:04,159 --> 00:15:08,320
for next year is having Quintin Hayes now with a

290
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:14,360
lot of I guess you could say some confidence and

291
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,440
some swag going into his going into his senior season.

292
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:21,159
This is exactly what you want to see out of

293
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,759
him as this season comes to a close in Colorado Springs.

294
00:15:25,799 --> 00:15:28,879
So he gets my game ball for a fantastic game

295
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:29,919
against Alden State.

296
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:31,919
Speaker 2: I definitely like it too. I'm gonna go with air

297
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,039
Force obviously as well as they get to win, and

298
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,919
I'm gonna take air Force. Sophomore linebacker David Santiago, the

299
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,840
sophomore out of Raleigh, a big six and thirty five

300
00:15:42,879 --> 00:15:48,440
pound linebacker who had a sack and a half team

301
00:15:48,519 --> 00:15:51,519
high six tackles in this one also broke up a pass,

302
00:15:51,879 --> 00:15:56,279
so certainly was a big catalyst in the Falcons holding

303
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,120
Oregon State to just one hundred and seventy five yards

304
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,919
a total offense to a ten on third down. David Santiago,

305
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:05,720
he gets my game ball, Stephen, all right, we got

306
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,679
more to do here. We got our Travis Median Foundation

307
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,039
Honor Roll segment honoring a fallen hero that's given the

308
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,720
ultimate sacrifice. We got two games coming up in a

309
00:16:12,799 --> 00:16:15,639
none bigger than Army and Notre Dame steven. We got

310
00:16:15,639 --> 00:16:18,399
to talk about that one. We got to make some picks.

311
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,600
We will do that as we get out of here.

312
00:16:20,639 --> 00:16:24,120
But tell everybody what we've got at the Last Word

313
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:27,759
on Sports Podcast Network with the College Gridiron Coast to

314
00:16:27,799 --> 00:16:31,039
Coast folks, because there is something to tickle every college

315
00:16:31,039 --> 00:16:31,960
football fancy.

316
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, this week is huge when it comes to

317
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,279
college football. Is the things start to come into focus

318
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,960
when it comes to the college football Playoff. Obviously this

319
00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:48,000
week in the ACC breaking down everything going on in

320
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:52,720
the Atlantic Coast Conference. You know those Jeff and Matthew

321
00:16:52,759 --> 00:16:56,679
always do a great job when it comes to the ACC.

322
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:02,159
And then it just means more football and coffee covering

323
00:17:02,639 --> 00:17:08,839
the Southeastern Conference and everything crazy going on in the SEC.

324
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,759
And you know, could we have a three loss team

325
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:16,440
from the SEC in the College Football Playoff this year?

326
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,839
Don't be surprised. And Craig McMichael and Rob Williams doing

327
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,319
a great job there. Get off my pylon with Matt

328
00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:32,160
Zemik talking about Colorado and Arizona State in the Big Twelve.

329
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:34,920
You know, you look at the sun Devils. I mean,

330
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,839
who would have thought Arizona State would be where they are,

331
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,119
but Matt did and he talks about that this week

332
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,680
of course, Florida Football Insiders with Jason Powers, and we've

333
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,119
got the Big twelve SEC Breakdown with Tyler Jones and

334
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,160
Thomas Bridges coming up later this week.

335
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:55,920

373
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,759
grooving because we got things to do and we know

374
00:19:48,799 --> 00:19:51,119
our listeners do too, and we're gonna get you ready

375
00:19:51,599 --> 00:19:54,279
for this weekend, Steven. And it is a big one.

376
00:19:54,599 --> 00:19:58,279
I mean big, big, big is in big City, is

377
00:19:58,319 --> 00:20:00,720
in big Apple, and that's where it's to take place.

378
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,720
As number nineteen Army undefeated nine to zero, taken on

379
00:20:05,799 --> 00:20:09,519
number six Notre Dame nine to one in prime time

380
00:20:09,759 --> 00:20:13,119
seven pm on NBC. Right now, Stephen, the latest I've

381
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,119
seen Notre Dame is giving fourteen and a half over

382
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,640
under forty four and a half as the nation's long

383
00:20:19,759 --> 00:20:22,880
the nation's longest win streak. It's on the line as Army,

384
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,799
with thirteen straight dating back to last season, is gonna

385
00:20:27,839 --> 00:20:30,400
take on Notre Dame, who's also fighting to remain in

386
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,160
the college football playoff race. The Irish have won eight

387
00:20:33,279 --> 00:20:36,000
in a row themselves since that early season set back

388
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,160
to Northern Illinois in South Bend. Notre Dame leading the

389
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,480
all time series thirty nine, eight and four. And this

390
00:20:43,559 --> 00:20:46,160
is the twenty fourth time Army in Notre Dame will

391
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,480
have played at Yankee Stadium. Boy, how cool is this

392
00:20:49,519 --> 00:20:51,960
going to be on Saturday. Army and Notre Dame had

393
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,920
met at the home of the Yankees twenty three times before,

394
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,680
including twenty two times at the original Yankee Stadium from

395
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,079
twenty five to twenty nine, already one to forty six

396
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,680
and nineteen sixty nine, and then obviously once at the

397
00:21:05,799 --> 00:21:09,119
current Yankee Stadium. So this is going to be a

398
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,039
special affair on NBC on Saturday night at seven pm.

399
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 3: Stephen, Yeah, and it's going to be packed.

400
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,839
Speaker 4: You know that this crowd is going to be energized.

401
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,759
You know, when it comes to college football, especially in

402
00:21:23,799 --> 00:21:27,680
New York, there are two teams that people are root

403
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:30,000
for in the state of New York when it comes

404
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:31,319
to college football.

405
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 3: It's Army and it's Notre Dame.

406
00:21:35,599 --> 00:21:40,519
Speaker 4: Especially especially if you are south of Interstate eighty one,

407
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:46,160
which obviously you know this certainly would be south of

408
00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,200
I eighty one in New York. You know, once you

409
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,880
get up in that area, they start rooting for Syracuse

410
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:54,920
and the like. But you know, when you are down

411
00:21:56,039 --> 00:22:00,839
down in the in the metropolitan region of New York City,

412
00:22:01,799 --> 00:22:05,640
you know, obviously this is about as big of a

413
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,960
college football game as you can have in the state

414
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:10,920
of New York.

415
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 3: And you look at it.

416
00:22:12,039 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 4: You've got two incredible quarterbacks going to get it going

417
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,160
against one another. Bryson Dally obviously, you know, we all

418
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,000
know what he has done so far this year as

419
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:29,799
the as the quarterback for the Black Knights. Riley Leonard, obviously,

420
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:34,079
the transfer from Duke, is having an incredible year for

421
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,119
the Irish, who find themselves with an opportunity in the

422
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,880
college football playoff here this year. And you know, I

423
00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:45,319
went and took a look at what Notre Dame has

424
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,319
done so far as a team, and they have just

425
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,319
been absolutely incredible.

426
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 3: At how diversified they are.

427
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,559
Speaker 4: This is a team that has that's almost fifty to

428
00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:03,559
fifty when it comes to passing and rushing. They've got

429
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,759
two one hundred yards on the ground as a team.

430
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,559
They've got almost two thousand yards through the air as

431
00:23:10,599 --> 00:23:14,519
a team. So it's amazing to see just how balanced

432
00:23:14,839 --> 00:23:18,359
the Irish have been. And you know, obviously when you

433
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,920
look at you know, between these two teams, which one

434
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,880
of these is the more talented team.

435
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 3: It's no, there's no doubt. It's Notre Dame.

436
00:23:27,839 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 4: But this Army team has something to prove to everybody

437
00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:35,519
in the college football world. They don't want to be

438
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,400
known as the oh well, you know, they were the

439
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,000
last Service Academy team to lose this year. You know,

440
00:23:42,079 --> 00:23:44,799
they were ok, they were they were a nice story,

441
00:23:45,279 --> 00:23:49,279
but they they don't deserve a spot in the college

442
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:54,319
football playoff. And bryceon Daily, if you know anything about Daily,

443
00:23:55,039 --> 00:23:59,200
he wants to prove everybody in the college football world wrong.

444
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,039
Speaker 3: This year when he was coming out of high school.

445
00:24:03,279 --> 00:24:04,279
You know, there's the story.

446
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,079
Speaker 4: Pat forty of uh Sports of Sports Illustrated had the

447
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:13,039
story here last week about Daily talking about like when

448
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,240
he was recruited, it was a.

449
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 3: Bunch of you know, Nai A and D two and.

450
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 4: The Ivy League schools were recruiting him to play linebacker.

451
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,880
You know, they didn't want him to play quarterback. He

452
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,640
wanted to play quarterback. And that's when the United States

453
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,000
Military Academy said.

454
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: You want to play quarterback, you come to West Point.

455
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,839
Speaker 4: We'll let you play quarterback because we're the last of

456
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:39,559
the hard and I you know, if reading through the

457
00:24:39,599 --> 00:24:43,359
story of Bryce and Daily that Pat Forty did on

458
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,319
SI dot com, it's a great read.

459
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,759
Speaker 3: Definitely recommend it. But it shows you that this kid.

460
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,759
Speaker 4: Wants to prove everybody wrong and that they can beat

461
00:24:53,839 --> 00:24:54,880
Notre Dame this year, this.

462
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 2: Week, and that. And that's what the mindset when an

463
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,440
Army or a note or a Navy takes on Notre

464
00:25:00,519 --> 00:25:05,039
Dame every year. That's because the kids on both academies

465
00:25:05,079 --> 00:25:08,960
when they play Notre Dame, they're often always overlooked, at

466
00:25:09,039 --> 00:25:10,839
least at the D one level. And if they were

467
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,880
looked at it at the D one level, it was

468
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,160
something other than usually the glamour position that they might

469
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,000
be playing.

470
00:25:17,519 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 3: Special teamers, play special teams.

471
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 2: Prius or you know, a lot of times, you know,

472
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,319
Paul Johnson used to tell me he used to recruit

473
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,319
nothing a lot of times, just quarterback, quarterback, quarterback, because

474
00:25:27,319 --> 00:25:29,119
why they were the best athlete on their team. They

475
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,160
weren't going to necessarily play quarterback at Navy, but he

476
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,759
was going to put him usually defensive back at running

477
00:25:33,799 --> 00:25:37,359
back because they typically high school quarterbacks, they're the best

478
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,839
ones with the ball in their hands and those kind

479
00:25:39,839 --> 00:25:42,599
of positions of skill positions, that's where you want them

480
00:25:42,599 --> 00:25:44,119
because they're going to have the ball in their hands.

481
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,160
But you know, like you said, this is they're going

482
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:48,599
to be playing with a chip on their shoulder. And

483
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:50,920
the fact they're doing it in New York, not too

484
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:55,559
far down the road from West Point and the Military Academy.

485
00:25:55,599 --> 00:25:59,759
You're going to have an obviously huge crowd of Army

486
00:25:59,759 --> 00:26:01,359
fans are going to be in the house. Obviously it's

487
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,119
going to be more packed with Notre Dame. But two

488
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,920
teams very very similar, Stephen. The one difference obviously the

489
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,880
running game of Army and the passing game of Notre Dame.

490
00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:17,240
But you know, outside of that, very very similar statistically

491
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,880
in points per game, points allowed, total defense, I mean

492
00:26:23,279 --> 00:26:26,359
very I mean these eerily similar outside of those two

493
00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:30,440
offensive statistics. But you know, if you're wondering, you know,

494
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,880
the last time that Army matched up against another ranked team,

495
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,799
that was twenty twenty when number twenty two, Army lost

496
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,559
to number fourteen Cincinnati twenty four to ten. The last

497
00:26:42,599 --> 00:26:45,200
time Army beat a top ten AP ranked opponent that

498
00:26:45,279 --> 00:26:47,519
was back in nineteen sixty three when they knocked off

499
00:26:47,599 --> 00:26:52,839
number nine Penn State ten to seven. But you know, hey,

500
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,880
anything can happen. And as our Army's defense hasn't allowed

501
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,319
a touchdown on the last two in the last two games.

502
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,640
They're also on a three unbeatens left along with Indiana

503
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,480
and Oregon. Army's going to be playing with an awful

504
00:27:05,519 --> 00:27:09,039
lot of momentum, especially havn't had that bye week and

505
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,119
Bryson Daily having a chance to heal up and get

506
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,759
better from what the nagging injury he had for missing

507
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:17,759
the Air Force game and you know, having to come

508
00:27:17,799 --> 00:27:20,000
back and battle through it against North Texas.

509
00:27:20,279 --> 00:27:22,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, and think about it. The last time that Army

510
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:27,240
beat Notre Dame. You gotta go all the way back

511
00:27:27,279 --> 00:27:33,599
to nineteen fifty eight when the number three ranked Cadets,

512
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,960
the Black Knights, beat Notre Dame fourteen to two at

513
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:42,079
Notre Dame Stadium. So they were playing they were playing

514
00:27:42,319 --> 00:27:45,559
in South Bend for that game. But it has been

515
00:27:45,599 --> 00:27:49,400
a long long time, so Notre Dame has won the

516
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:55,680
last three, six, nine, twelve, fifteen. I see sixteen games

517
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,960
in a row in this series. So it's been a

518
00:27:59,079 --> 00:28:03,680
long long time. And you can't tell me that every

519
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:12,359
single every single I would say, graduate any alum of

520
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,000
the United States Military kedemy. You go all the way

521
00:28:15,039 --> 00:28:18,400
back to Gary Steele, and I know Gary Steele is

522
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,720
going to be at this game because because he he

523
00:28:22,839 --> 00:28:28,599
is really excited about this, you know, having having watched

524
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,839
his daughter Sage Steele, who you might know from ESPN.

525
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:36,960
Sage is actually she actually was here before she came,

526
00:28:37,079 --> 00:28:39,240
before she went to ESPN. She worked here in the

527
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,799
Tampa Bay region. I know stage a little bit. I

528
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:47,279
have met Gary Steele before, and you know, I've nothing

529
00:28:47,319 --> 00:28:49,799
but a ton of respect for him, and you know

530
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:51,200
he wants to win this game.

531
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:54,839
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, it's going to be a sight to see again.

532
00:28:55,079 --> 00:29:00,480
A seven pm kickoff on NBC. Number nineteen Army against

533
00:29:00,559 --> 00:29:03,559
number six Notre Dame. Again, Notre Dame giving fourteen and

534
00:29:03,599 --> 00:29:06,480
a half over under in this one is forty four

535
00:29:06,519 --> 00:29:08,480
and a half. All right, Let's get to the other game.

536
00:29:08,599 --> 00:29:11,279
Air Force hitting the road. They are hitting the road

537
00:29:11,279 --> 00:29:13,920
and heading to Reno to take on Nevada. This one

538
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,079
is going to be a ten to thirty pm Eastern

539
00:29:16,119 --> 00:29:20,079
Standard Time kickoff eight thirty pm. They're locally in Reno

540
00:29:20,559 --> 00:29:23,240
on Fox Sports one. Nevada giving up three and a

541
00:29:23,279 --> 00:29:26,039
half over unders forty four and a half. I kind

542
00:29:26,039 --> 00:29:30,079
of was thinking that maybe, just maybe air Force might

543
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,880
be the favorite in this game three and seven overall,

544
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,119
one in four, but Nevada's three and eight zero to five.

545
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,559
They haven't won them Mount West Commerce game, and while

546
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,599
the Falcons have won what two straight, Bada's lost four

547
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,480
in a row, but the overall series goes to air

548
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,720
Force five and two. They're also two and one all

549
00:29:46,839 --> 00:29:50,519
time in Reno. Every meeting in this series has been

550
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,559
as conference fos, and the Falcons have won four the

551
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:56,920
last five, while five of the seven meetings in this

552
00:29:57,119 --> 00:30:00,000
entire series they've been decided by seven points or less.

553
00:30:00,079 --> 00:30:03,000
History tells you this is going to be a close game, Steven,

554
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,920
But I still kind of thought I might look down

555
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,839
when I was looking for the line earlier today, that

556
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,640
we might see air Force slightly favored. Not the case.

557
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:11,920
It's Nevada three and a half.

558
00:30:12,119 --> 00:30:13,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, very strange.

559
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 4: If you ask me, I certainly would have thought that

560
00:30:16,359 --> 00:30:20,799
if this game would have gone with the Air Force

561
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,599
as the favorite, But you look at it, Brendan Lewis

562
00:30:24,599 --> 00:30:28,480
has done a really really good job, you know, controlling

563
00:30:28,599 --> 00:30:33,119
things through the air. Has not dealt with a lot

564
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,319
of interceptions. He's you know, not a huge guy when

565
00:30:36,319 --> 00:30:38,359
it comes to touchdowns. You know, it's not like he's

566
00:30:38,359 --> 00:30:42,000
got twenty five or thirty touchdowns this season, only has

567
00:30:42,039 --> 00:30:45,200
twelve touchdowns, only seventeen hundred yards through the year, but

568
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:48,920
only five interceptions. And most importantly, he's only he's been

569
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:53,000
sacked only sixteen times in ten games.

570
00:30:52,599 --> 00:30:54,279
Speaker 3: Here so far this year.

571
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,799
Speaker 4: So you know, it's they've done a good job keeping

572
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,200
him upright, And I think that they I think that

573
00:31:01,279 --> 00:31:03,440
this is going to be a big test for Air

574
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,720
Forces defensive backfield. Yes, I know Nevada is is winless

575
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,039
right now in the Mountain West, that they're three and seven,

576
00:31:11,519 --> 00:31:14,440
but they're they're going to do any everything in their

577
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:19,039
power to try and make the Falcons defensive backfield uncomfortable.

578
00:31:19,079 --> 00:31:21,599
Speaker 3: And I think that they're going to have a little

579
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:22,440
bit of success.

580
00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:28,119
Speaker 4: But you know, for me, I really like what the

581
00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:31,480
Falcons offense has done to help their defense out. And

582
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,720
then you know, you look at it. Their defense has

583
00:31:33,759 --> 00:31:37,759
not played a lot the last two weeks. You know,

584
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:40,119
when when you're on the when you're on the field

585
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:45,519
on offense for forty two minutes last week, forty five

586
00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,400
minutes the week before. Uh, that's great. That's great for

587
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,519
your for your defense, that's for sure.

588
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

589
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:54,759
Speaker 2: Every time I see Nevada out on the field, I

590
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,839
just harken back to the you know, the legendary coach

591
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:01,079
Chris Alt, you know who, and then in the pistol,

592
00:32:01,559 --> 00:32:03,119
you know. And every time I see the wolf Pack

593
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,440
in a game, you know, I always think back to that.

594
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,960
But what I would like to think ahead to is

595
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,240
the forecast in this one, because I haven't seen what

596
00:32:10,359 --> 00:32:12,680
the forecast in this one is. Usually this time of year.

597
00:32:13,119 --> 00:32:14,920
One of the things I really look forward to, Steven,

598
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,039
when you pop on a Mount West Conference football game

599
00:32:18,079 --> 00:32:20,799
in the month and you see you're just playing in

600
00:32:20,839 --> 00:32:23,640
a driving snow, especially in Reno too, where the weather

601
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:24,759
can change on a dime.

602
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,279
Speaker 4: I can tell you that looking at the weather forecast

603
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:32,599
for Saturday night, it's going to be chilly, that's for sure.

604
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,279
But they are saying that it is not going to

605
00:32:36,319 --> 00:32:40,480
be snowy. They're they're looking at thirty nine degrees at kickoff,

606
00:32:40,799 --> 00:32:43,759
so you know it's gonna be cold, especially for this

607
00:32:43,799 --> 00:32:48,279
Florida boy. But it is not, thankfully going to be

608
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:52,480
snowing in Reno. That's a good thing, all right.

609
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 2: Air Force Nevada again, ten to thirty Eastern Standard time,

610
00:32:57,359 --> 00:32:59,799
kickoff on Fox Sports one. Nevada three and a half,

611
00:32:59,839 --> 00:33:02,759
one favor over Under forty four and a half. Can

612
00:33:02,839 --> 00:33:05,519
the Falcons make it three in a row? Can they

613
00:33:05,559 --> 00:33:07,839
tag a fifth straight loss on the vat of the season.

614
00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,240
We will find out. We will also find out more

615
00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:13,440

617
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,160
get stevens. We gotta play fashion police here when we

618
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:20,960
come back. We got to make some picks here as

619
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,319
we wrap up yards and strikes your Home for Service

620
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:24,160

621
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 5: In two thousand and seven, Marine First Lieutenant Travis Manion

622
00:33:28,279 --> 00:33:31,279
was killed in Iraq after saving his wooted teammates. Travis's

623
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,799
legacy lives on through the words he spoke before his

624
00:33:33,839 --> 00:33:37,519
final deployment. If not me, then who words that today?

625
00:33:37,559 --> 00:33:40,839

Speaker 1: The latest with Navy, Army and Air Force on Yards

673
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,599
and Stripes Service Academy Football.

674
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 2: All right, final segment here, Bryce Atkinson's Stephen Carney. We

675
00:36:38,039 --> 00:36:39,639
got to get this done so Stephen can get to

676
00:36:39,679 --> 00:36:46,679
that fifty percent off Popayan's Pepperoni Pizzai. Yeah, absolutely, any

677
00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,880
like you said you quote of the Year on Yards

678
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,920
and Stripes. Any pizza is delicious. Pizza's right, all right, Steven.

679
00:36:55,039 --> 00:36:57,119
I know we all love to play fashion police. I

680
00:36:57,159 --> 00:36:59,639
know everybody is uniform police when it comes to it.

681
00:36:59,679 --> 00:37:01,199
But this is the time of year where we get

682
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:05,679
to see the threads for the Army Navy game. Let's

683
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,960
talk about Army first, honoring the soldiers in the one

684
00:37:09,039 --> 00:37:11,960
hundred and first Airborne Division. I feel like the last

685
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,840
time they wore uniforms. Maybe I'm wrong, honoring the hundred

686
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,119
and first Airborne it was the white ones. It was

687
00:37:18,159 --> 00:37:20,119
I think maybe one of my last Army Navy games,

688
00:37:20,119 --> 00:37:25,079
maybe twenty seventeen in the snow. Oh. I feel like

689
00:37:25,119 --> 00:37:27,159
that those were one hundred first Airborne, haven't you know?

690
00:37:27,199 --> 00:37:28,719
They just came out so I hadn't been able to

691
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:31,639
go back and research them all. But boy, these these

692
00:37:31,719 --> 00:37:34,239
never disappoint. I mean, I can never go wrong, and

693
00:37:34,679 --> 00:37:36,639
you know, picking which ones you like the best, but

694
00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,320
these they are the home team this year, and boy,

695
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,599
these uniforms they are tough.

696
00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, there is you know, I I love this is.

697
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 4: You know, of course, Army Navy our favorite game of

698
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,239
the year, and the fact that we're talking about uniforms

699
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,920
is my favorite part of my favorite game of the

700
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,159
year because it's always cool to see what these two

701
00:37:58,199 --> 00:38:00,480
teams are going to do. And when Army came out

702
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,239
with with one hundred and first Airborne UH uniforms earlier

703
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,079
this week, I was really excited. You know there there

704
00:38:07,079 --> 00:38:09,719
are certain things that that the Black Knights have done

705
00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:12,280
over the last couple of years that I've been really

706
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,800
excited about. When they went to the matte black helmets.

707
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:15,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

708
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,840
Speaker 4: Those those were so cool, Like the desert uh style

709
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:23,239
uh uniforms, when they when they had the sand you know,

710
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:27,719
the sand ye sand camo uh. You know, I was

711
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:32,159
really excited with those and for me, And it was funny.

712
00:38:32,159 --> 00:38:34,400
I was watching the North Texas game with my mother

713
00:38:34,960 --> 00:38:39,159
and she was like, She's like, I don't know any

714
00:38:39,159 --> 00:38:42,360
of these guys' names because on the back of their

715
00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:45,559
jerseys it says Army Instead. I said, it's because you

716
00:38:45,639 --> 00:38:49,400
got to look at their over their uh over the

717
00:38:49,559 --> 00:38:53,079
right uh uh over the right pack because that's where

718
00:38:53,119 --> 00:38:55,559
the where the name plate is because that's where the

719
00:38:55,639 --> 00:38:59,039
name plate is on the uniforms. Uh so, which which

720
00:38:59,079 --> 00:39:01,440
I always think is really like one of the one

721
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:04,800
of the absolutely chef's kiss when it comes to Army's uniforms.

722
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: And obviously they're gonna do that.

723
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,599
Speaker 4: Again here this year, uh with with the one hundred

724
00:39:09,599 --> 00:39:14,519
and first yearborns as well. Uh love love Armies uniforms

725
00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:14,920
this year.

726
00:39:15,559 --> 00:39:19,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Screaming Eagles, the Dark basically all black with

727
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:23,199
a touch of like you know, the snow pepper spring

728
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,880
on the shoulder pad. I mean, it's just they're just awesome.

729
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,880
So the night chefs fired, Yes, absolutely all right. The

730
00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:35,599
Naval Academy they unveiled their uniforms a day later. They're

731
00:39:35,639 --> 00:39:39,079
obviously the away teams, so they're gonna be the white

732
00:39:39,199 --> 00:39:43,599
infused uniforms by under armor, and Navies are gonna be

733
00:39:43,639 --> 00:39:47,639
honoring the Jolly Rogers. Fear the bones. Dude, what do

734
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:48,599
you think of navies?

735
00:39:49,199 --> 00:39:55,320
Speaker 4: Well, obviously being a Navy guy, I absolutely first off,

736
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,400
when they when they said that they were unveiling second

737
00:39:57,519 --> 00:39:59,320
I was like, oh, that's that's perfect.

738
00:39:59,679 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 2: You know.

739
00:40:00,119 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 4: I love anytime that they can they can get the

740
00:40:02,559 --> 00:40:06,159
dig in uh, you know the academy as well. So uh,

741
00:40:06,199 --> 00:40:08,719
the fact that they unveiled them second was was a

742
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,760
great little dig at army that I that made me smile.

743
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,800
I really love the Jolly Roger on the on the

744
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:20,519
helmet obviously, the stripe, uh with the with the flags

745
00:40:20,559 --> 00:40:23,639
on the on the on the middle of the helmet

746
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:27,159
going going towards the the back of the uniform. I

747
00:40:27,199 --> 00:40:31,199
absolutely love them. I I thought they were they were awesome.

748
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:35,159
I thought the white really pops out. Uh, it's gonna

749
00:40:35,159 --> 00:40:38,400
be it's These are always great uniforms, and they they

750
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:39,519
looked fantastic.

751
00:40:39,639 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 3: I really love them.

752
00:40:41,199 --> 00:40:43,400
Speaker 2: And I think one of the reasons why I and

753
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:46,320
I think I'll speak for you and everybody at least

754
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,960
you and I, the reasons why we do love these

755
00:40:49,079 --> 00:40:51,880
is they're always just so classic. You know, you don't

756
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:55,079
see them going crazy with like pink or something that

757
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:58,239
Oregon might do with some crazy, you know style UNI.

758
00:40:58,519 --> 00:41:01,400
I think this is because the typically the academies obviously

759
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,920
are very classy. The colors are straightforward and usually fairly simple.

760
00:41:06,599 --> 00:41:09,320
I think that's why they always pop, and they certainly

761
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,599
are gonna pop again. So if you haven't gotten to

762
00:41:11,599 --> 00:41:14,800
see him, go to both Navies and Army's websites. You

763
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,320
can go to both them on social media. I'm sure

764
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,639
most of us are most of you listening right now,

765
00:41:19,960 --> 00:41:22,679
you've seen them already, But if you haven't go check

766
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,559
them out. You're gonna want to take a look at

767
00:41:24,599 --> 00:41:26,559
them before they hit the field for the Army Navy game.

768
00:41:26,599 --> 00:41:29,320
All right, Stephen, A couple more things, just real quickly.

769
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,920
If you News and Notes, Jeff Bunkin named the AFCA

770
00:41:32,119 --> 00:41:35,320
Regional Coach of the Year this week and also Air

771
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:39,719
Forces road game on Saturday, November the thirtieth against San

772
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,239
Diego State. That's gonna be a ten to thirty five

773
00:41:42,280 --> 00:41:46,599
pm kickoff on Eastern Standard Time on Fox Sports One.

774
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:49,360
So a couple of news and notes to pass along,

775
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,840
including last week, Steven had Navy and he picked Air Force.

776
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:55,360
I was the exact opposite. I had Tulane and had

777
00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:58,079
Oregon State. So we both swung and missed on one

778
00:41:58,119 --> 00:42:00,679
of them, which we figured might happen, but we got

779
00:42:00,679 --> 00:42:03,119
to make pick Steven before we let everybody go and

780
00:42:03,159 --> 00:42:06,280
we get ready for this Titanic matchup on Saturday night.

781
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,719
I guess let's start. Let's let's not pick that, Let's

782
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,760
pick that one second. Yeah, air Force in Nevada, which

783
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:12,320
way are you going?

784
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

785
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:16,519
Speaker 4: You know, as I mentioned, I think that the Wolfpack

786
00:42:16,599 --> 00:42:21,199
are going to try and make it difficult for Air

787
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,280
Force's defensive backfield.

788
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:24,199
Speaker 3: When they're on the field.

789
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,960
Speaker 4: The problem for Nevada is going to be that I

790
00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:31,840
have a feeling that the Falcons offense is going to

791
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,159
find itself on the field a lot more than the

792
00:42:35,280 --> 00:42:39,360
wolf Packs. So I'm going to take the Falcons to

793
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:45,679
win again this week. I'm saying twenty eight seventeen. I

794
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:50,119
think that they get a good, strong road win this

795
00:42:50,199 --> 00:42:54,199
week and another conference victory for Troy Calhoun and company.

796
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:55,760
Speaker 2: All right, give me your score one more.

797
00:42:55,599 --> 00:42:58,039
Speaker 3: Time, twenty eight to seventeen.

798
00:42:57,760 --> 00:43:00,159
Speaker 2: Twenty eight to seventeen, all right, marking the tape. I

799
00:43:00,199 --> 00:43:02,920
also am going with air Force as well. I think

800
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:04,719
it's gonna be a little bit more high scoring. I

801
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,320
think it's gonna be air Force thirty four to thirty because,

802
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,880
as history suggests, these are closed games when air Force

803
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,719
and Nevada get together. But I think the big thing is,

804
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:16,199
like Steven mentioned, I think air Force is gonna be

805
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:18,719
able to run the football. Boise State was the last

806
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:21,840
team that Nevada faced, and they they gave them everything

807
00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,800
that they want before Boise State did pull it out.

808
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,599
They're at home twenty eight twenty one. But Boise State

809
00:43:27,639 --> 00:43:30,519
behind Ashton gent Who A lot of people consider that

810
00:43:30,559 --> 00:43:33,559
one of the Heisman favorites. They ran for two seventy

811
00:43:33,599 --> 00:43:36,880
four in the win over Nevada. I think air Force

812
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,679
is gonna be able to do just that and maybe

813
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:42,280
then some behind Quin Hayes. So I think Troy Calhoun

814
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:45,800
is definitely onto something now with the sophomore So I

815
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,360
like air Force getting the win thirty four to thirty,

816
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,800
all right, Notre Dame and Army steven can Army? Will

817
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:52,800
Army pull it off?

818
00:43:53,239 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 3: Can Army pull it off? Yes? I think they can.

819
00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 4: The problem is is that this game is not going

820
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:01,920
to go sixty five minutes.

821
00:44:03,559 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 2: You know.

822
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 4: I have a feeling that this is going to come

823
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:13,119
down to Army getting that last opportunity and just running

824
00:44:13,159 --> 00:44:18,000
out of time. I have Notre Dame thirty Army twenty four.

825
00:44:18,599 --> 00:44:22,079
Speaker 2: Wow, we are very close on our predictions. I'm with you.

826
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:24,840
I think it's gonna be a close football game. I

827
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,760
think Army is going to give them everything they want

828
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,639
and then some. The two keys to this game for

829
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:35,320
Army clearly taking care of the football, which which Navy

830
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,079
did not do. And the other thing is Army getting

831
00:44:39,119 --> 00:44:41,199
off the field on third down when they have the

832
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,639
third and seven, third and eight. Can they get pressure

833
00:44:43,679 --> 00:44:46,480
on Riley Leonard, which they've shown in the past that

834
00:44:46,559 --> 00:44:49,559
they can, and can they get that stop when they

835
00:44:49,599 --> 00:44:51,599
get pressure on them? Can they get off the field

836
00:44:51,639 --> 00:44:53,599
on third down? To me, those are the two biggest

837
00:44:53,679 --> 00:44:56,599
keys for Army knocking off Notre Dame. In the end,

838
00:44:56,639 --> 00:44:58,360
I just think like you, I think it's just going

839
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,800
to be a little bit too much talent and too

840
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:04,840
much Irish. I like the Irish thirty one to twenty

841
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:08,360
one over Army in this game. All right, let's let

842
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,519
everybody get out of here. We will be back again

843
00:45:10,639 --> 00:45:13,239
early next week on Thanksgiving week. We'll set the table

844
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:17,039
for you early literally, not figuratively, as I know everybody's

845
00:45:17,039 --> 00:45:20,000
gonna be setting their own tables getting ready for some stuffing,

846
00:45:20,039 --> 00:45:22,000
some turkey and everything later in the week. But we

847
00:45:22,039 --> 00:45:24,000
will set it for you on the football end of

848
00:45:24,039 --> 00:45:26,880
things early next week with an early podcast for you

849
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:30,599
to listen on your holiday travels wherever it is you

850
00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:33,559
may be going to, but for Stephen Carney on Pryce Sackinson,

851
