I say Friday edition because we 10 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,320 are apologizing. I personally will apologize because we are just 11 00:00:38,359 --> 00:00:42,840 now getting this episode out here midday Friday day before 12 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,679 games start. It has been that kind of a week 13 00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:47,679 on my end, so I apologize to Steven and our listeners. 14 00:00:47,679 --> 00:00:51,880 But nonetheless we come to you with more service Academy 15 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:55,560 football content, especially especially after the first leg of the 16 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,679 Commander in Chief Trophy last weekend. We will not get 17 00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:01,439 a Poppy Yann's pizza because it is still in the 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:06,400 am hour, unless you are frequenting QT or some other 19 00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:08,799 place that has breakfast pizza, which I had last weekend 20 00:01:08,799 --> 00:01:10,799 for the first time at a Boy Scout camp out, 21 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,359 which I was actually pretty good. Interesting, it was. It 22 00:01:14,439 --> 00:01:16,920 was very interesting. But when you wake up with a 23 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,439 bunch of young lads out in the chill on a 24 00:01:19,519 --> 00:01:23,959 chili Saturday morning and have coffee brought straight from QT 25 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,239 and the breakfast pizza you devour and enjoy it, so. 26 00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:30,040 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I would assume. So I for me, I 27 00:01:30,079 --> 00:01:32,200 am a breakfast burrito kind of guy. 28 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 2: I got too. 29 00:01:33,879 --> 00:01:35,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was the breakfast pizza. I mean, you can. 30 00:01:35,719 --> 00:01:38,719 Speaker 3: Turn breakfast pizza into a breakfast burrito. That's that I 31 00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:41,000 think is pretty easy. So you just kind of give it. 32 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: A little roll. Yeah, I didn't complain because it was 33 00:01:43,719 --> 00:01:48,400 brought straight fresh from the store and another dad brought 34 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:50,760 it in, so I was. I was mighty happy with that. 35 00:01:50,879 --> 00:01:52,920 Otherwise I would have if I was walking in the door, 36 00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:55,719 I was going with one of their biscuits or one 37 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,359 of their breakfast tacos that actually like so couldn't do that. 38 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,680 But it was good nonetheless, but still different with the 39 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,760 gravy as the sauce, and then the cheese and the 40 00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:08,120 egg and then the bacon and the sausage. So it 41 00:02:08,199 --> 00:02:11,800 was it wasn't bad. It was bad. It does work, 42 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,159 and it did work, but it worked for Navy last weekend. 43 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:17,840 We do have our Papa John's or I mean, excuse me, 44 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,960 we do have a Travis Manning foundation on a roll segment. 45 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,919 We got three games this coming weekend, but we got 46 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,240 the two to recap from last weekend, and let's do 47 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,599 that right now, Steven, without further ado. Because it was 48 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,000 the first leg of the CIC Trophy and the Navy 49 00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:34,319 midshipman in an offensive slug vest before the tenth largest 50 00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:38,400 crowd at Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium history, they outlast 51 00:02:38,439 --> 00:02:41,400 Air Force thirty four to thirty one. Is now Navy 52 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,159 is five and o, air Force dropping to one and four. 53 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,840 Navy's won eight straight going back to last year, and 54 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,360 seventy six straight when leading after three quarters. But more importantly, 55 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,439 they are five and oh for the first time. It's 56 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,560 nineteen seventy nine, and they have a leg up in 57 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:03,039 the CIC Trophy. As we mentioned offensive slug vest that ironically, 58 00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:06,560 it was a defensive play that made the difference, the 59 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,520 ultimate difference in the game. Score tied at thirty one all, 60 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,319 Nathan Kirkwood kicks a thirty four yard field goal for 61 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,080 Navy with six forty seven to break the tie give 62 00:03:16,199 --> 00:03:19,159 Navy the lead after they were stopped short. But then 63 00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:23,080 Air Forces on the move has the ball inside Navy territory, 64 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,719 but Navy linebacker Jackson Campbell deflex a Liam sark A 65 00:03:26,759 --> 00:03:30,879 pitch that Landon Robinson recovered with three minutes remaining, and 66 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,319 Blake Corbath put the kapra on this with a first 67 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,680 down on a third and eight keeper that ended the game. 68 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,879 And what a game it was. As we told you 69 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,520 not to go cliche, but it does not matter what 70 00:03:43,719 --> 00:03:46,159 each team has done to this point. It never does 71 00:03:46,199 --> 00:03:48,960 when it comes to the CIC Trophy game. Stephen, and 72 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,120 this game delivered everything you could want before a national 73 00:03:52,199 --> 00:03:56,479 TV audience on CBS. Yeah, it's amazing to think that 74 00:03:57,199 --> 00:04:02,479 two teams that are known for their discipline and known 75 00:04:02,599 --> 00:04:03,719 for being able. 76 00:04:03,479 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 4: To stop things. 77 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,039 Speaker 3: Yeah, they stood in the middle of the ring like 78 00:04:08,199 --> 00:04:11,599 Rocky Bombo and Apollo Green and just slugged each other. 79 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:12,719 Speaker 4: I mean, you look at it. 80 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,519 Speaker 3: There was not There was not much that that either 81 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,240 team did that the other team couldn't do. It was 82 00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:23,319 a case of anything you can do, I can do better. 83 00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:26,519 You know, maybe starts the game with a field goal, 84 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,720 Air Force goes down and scores a touchdown, and then 85 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,720 you know, and then in the second quarter it was 86 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,439 the other It was the other way around. Air Force 87 00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:38,480 starts the second quarter with a field goal to go 88 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:40,680 up ten to three, and instead of being able to 89 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,319 punch it into the end zone for a touchdown, I mean, 90 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,040 and they went almost ninety yards on that drive, so 91 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,040 it was a short field goal. Navy turns around and 92 00:04:49,079 --> 00:04:51,079 scores a touchdown to tie the game. And at that 93 00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:54,279 point you knew it was on like Donkey Kong so 94 00:04:54,639 --> 00:04:57,639 and it really was. It was you know, air Force 95 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,120 takes a lead, maybe comes back, Navy takes lead, air 96 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,319 Force comes back, And really it did come down to 97 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,040 that one defensive play and that's all that's all it 98 00:05:07,079 --> 00:05:10,240 took for for this game to be decided. Is that 99 00:05:10,399 --> 00:05:16,079 one late defensive play that allowed h Navy to prevent 100 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,439 Air Force from either tying this game or taking the 101 00:05:19,519 --> 00:05:21,720 lead again, and then they were able to run out 102 00:05:21,759 --> 00:05:22,079 the clock. 103 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:23,639 Speaker 4: It was it was a lot of fun. 104 00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:24,319 Speaker 2: Uh. 105 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: You know, if you wanted an exciting game, you couldn't 106 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,519 do any better than what we saw last Saturday. 107 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,879 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, you could say that both defensive 108 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,560 struggled for most of the day. But you know, Navy 109 00:05:38,639 --> 00:05:41,360 certainly did, but they came up when they needed to 110 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,279 to make the play to save the day. And this 111 00:05:44,519 --> 00:05:48,360 was a game that was a bit higher scoring than 112 00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:51,800 what is a typical Service Academy game. Certainly you could 113 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,360 you could say that without with total affirmation had they 114 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,279 been in the Ford in the forties. But still scoring, 115 00:05:58,399 --> 00:06:02,199 you know, thirty plus boat teams. That's that's fairly high 116 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,319 or higher than your normal average Service Academy game, just 117 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,879 simply because these teams always just they know each other 118 00:06:09,079 --> 00:06:09,519 so well. 119 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 3: But Navy doesn't usually give up four hundred and sixty 120 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,879 yards of offense. No, Navy's defense is much better than that, 121 00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:20,120 especially on the ground. You know, giving up two hundred 122 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,800 and eleven yards on the ground to Air Force, that's 123 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:26,519 certainly something that Brian Newberry was gonna harp on this 124 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,800 week that you know, if you want to you want 125 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,759 to continue being one of the top tier teams in 126 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,160 the American Conference, you cannot do that. 127 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 4: Yep. 128 00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:38,279 Speaker 2: Well, well, you know, the offensive show was led by 129 00:06:38,399 --> 00:06:41,160 none other than the two quarterbacks, Liam Sarka for Air 130 00:06:41,199 --> 00:06:44,920 Force Blake Corbath from Navy. Sarka was outstanding two hundred 131 00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:49,199 and twelve yards, passing two touchdowns without a pick, ran 132 00:06:49,319 --> 00:06:52,079 a team high twenty five times for one point fifty two. 133 00:06:52,199 --> 00:06:55,560 Those were game highs actually as well, and Sarka also 134 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,800 had two rushing touchdowns. But you know what, Blake, Blake 135 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,040 Corbas said, whatever you can do, I can do it better, 136 00:07:01,319 --> 00:07:03,720 as he was twenty twenty six for three hundred and 137 00:07:03,759 --> 00:07:06,920 thirty nine yards in three touchdowns, and then he ran 138 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,800 seventeen times for one thirty and a touchdown to become 139 00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:14,319 the first Navy player to throw for three hundred and 140 00:07:14,519 --> 00:07:17,399 rush for one hundred in the game since Brian Broadwater 141 00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:21,439 did back in two thousand, my first year working in 142 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,399 the sports information department at the Naval Academy. The four 143 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,759 hundred and sixty nine yards total offense are passing the 144 00:07:26,839 --> 00:07:29,680 previous single game record up set by Will Worth in 145 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,680 twenty sixteen of four hundred and twenty eight. But you 146 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,040 know what, Blake Corbath had a sidekick in this one too. 147 00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:40,399 Eli Heidinriich eight catches, two hundred and forty three yards 148 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,040 and three touchdowns the seniors three touchdowns in the game, 149 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,519 matching a single game record, and he now has fourteen 150 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,360 career receiving touchdowns the most in Navy history. And we've 151 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,519 said it, you know, time and time again. You know, 152 00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:58,920 Navy's playmakers are stepping up, and they did it just 153 00:07:59,319 --> 00:08:03,959 again on Saturday in the offensive Spectacle Steven. 154 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:04,959 Speaker 4: Yeah, man. 155 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,839 Speaker 3: And the one thing that I will say about Navy's 156 00:08:07,879 --> 00:08:09,240 offense that. 157 00:08:09,439 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 4: You uh, that you couldn't say. 158 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 3: Uh, was the same about Air Forces, is they kept 159 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,519 play Corvath upright, you know. 160 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:17,519 Speaker 4: Uh. 161 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: That was the one thing that Navy was able to do. 162 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,199 They were able to get to Horvath. 163 00:08:23,319 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 4: I know, Landa. 164 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,439 Speaker 3: Robinson had a sack and a half in this game, 165 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,319 which which proved out to be a big, a big deal, 166 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:32,799 you know, with with the with the way that Sarka 167 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,600 was playing. You know, if you weren't able to get 168 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,200 if you weren't going to be able to get to him, 169 00:08:37,279 --> 00:08:38,919 you were gonna have a hard time stopping him. 170 00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:42,159 Speaker 2: Yeah. And you know, after the game, the second deaf 171 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,879 Pete Hegseth, greeted the Navy team in the locker room. 172 00:08:44,919 --> 00:08:47,480 There was no flyover because of the government shutdown, so 173 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,080 it was a little bit uh, I'm not saying anti 174 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,799 climactic in any way, It just didn't have the normal 175 00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:56,240 kind of pomp and circumstances you might have, especially pregame 176 00:08:56,759 --> 00:08:58,759 with things going on down the road in DC. But 177 00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:01,120 we'll say those political things for some other day and 178 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,279 some other show. As Navy thirty four to thirty one 179 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,960 over Air Force now having the leg up in the 180 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,279 Commander in Chief trophy, all right.

I mean there was this was almost the 191 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,240 complete opposite of Navy and Air Force when it came 192 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:49,440 to offense. 193 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 3: You look at it. Neither of these teams broke four 194 00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:55,200 hundred yards of offense. Army was held to under three 195 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,799 hundred yards of total offense two hundred and ninety five, 196 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,480 but most of that came on the ground two hundred 197 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,159 and forty seven yards of offense on the ground, led 198 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,120 by Helms, as you mentioned, with eighty one yards, but 199 00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:15,000 they had by my count one two three four five 200 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,360 players rushed more than five times. They had sixty one 201 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:24,679 carries on the ground and most of them coming from Helms. 202 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,000 You mentioned the three touchdowns. They they were very fortunate. 203 00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:32,799 They had a couple of very short fields in this game. 204 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,720 You know. They they got the ball twice from UAB 205 00:10:36,919 --> 00:10:41,120 on turnovers, They recovered a fumble, they got an interception 206 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:45,360 of Jared Kittna as well. And really, you know, this 207 00:10:45,639 --> 00:10:49,720 all stems, you know, Armies win stemmed from the fact 208 00:10:49,799 --> 00:10:52,600 that they were able to bend but not break in 209 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,440 that in the first quarter, you know, I mean, you 210 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,399 think about it. UAB had the ball for a large 211 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,879 chunk of that first quarter, a twelve play drive that 212 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,399 only encompassed forty yards is which is incredible. They end 213 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,240 up missing the field goal, so that that tends to 214 00:11:09,279 --> 00:11:12,080 be a good sign that you get a shorter feel 215 00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:14,399 at that point. They were able to go down and 216 00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,960 score a touchdown to start the second quarter in that game, 217 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:22,200 you know, a ten minute drive to finish off things. 218 00:11:22,919 --> 00:11:26,240 Eighteen plays in seventy four yards. You're doing that to 219 00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:31,679 the fighting Trent Delfers and unfortunately for them, they rolled 220 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,519 over at that point. You look at their next couple 221 00:11:35,519 --> 00:11:40,000 of possessions were both three and outs. Army also did 222 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,759 not have a whole lot in that time, but they 223 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,399 ground down the period and after UAV was able to 224 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,000 tie it, they get a field goal to go ahead 225 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,000 at the at the end of the half and then 226 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,000 we're able to start putting some distance in front of 227 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,639 them in the second half. They get another touchdown in 228 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,840 the second half to pull to ten points up and 229 00:12:06,879 --> 00:12:09,960 then started the fourth quarter with another touchdown. Now you're 230 00:12:10,039 --> 00:12:13,039 up seventeen at that point and you can kind of 231 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:13,840 cruise from there. 232 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, Army out gained you know, by about you know, 233 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,240 seventy something yards, but you know, coming up key on 234 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,639 a couple third downs, you know, three or four on 235 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,240 fourth down. Excuse me, you know. But then the discipline 236 00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:34,879 in the penalties for UAB really kind of let I 237 00:12:34,919 --> 00:12:36,639 don't want to say, let Army off the hook, but 238 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:39,320 certainly did not hurt the cause with the two turnovers. 239 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,879 Speaker 3: Eleven eleven penalties is a is a big number to 240 00:12:42,919 --> 00:12:44,960 try and overcome, and UAB just couldn't do it. 241 00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:48,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, which Army was fairly high in terms of you 242 00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:51,600 know what they would average in penalties seven for fifty yards. 243 00:12:51,639 --> 00:12:55,000 But you know, nonetheless, they played turnover free football, which 244 00:12:55,039 --> 00:12:56,960 was important, and that's one of the things that Jeff 245 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,519 Mankin had stressed his team and getting back to the basics, 246 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,559 taking care of the football, doing the doing the little 247 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,159 things and get back to fundamentals. And it worked as 248 00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:08,799 amazing what can happen when you do that. And they 249 00:13:08,879 --> 00:13:11,399 kept John or jayly kitting in check. You know, that 250 00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:13,519 was huge in the game, as they kept him for 251 00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:16,240 just twenty four forty two two fifty nine after he 252 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,320 entered the game fifth in the nation with three hundred 253 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:24,679 and fifteen yards a game, third completions, completing seventy two 254 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,879 percent of his passes. So the Army defense doing a 255 00:13:27,919 --> 00:13:31,279 great job, especially as in the second half, just giving 256 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,240 up the six points here in the fourth quarter. All right, 257 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,480 let's uh, let's give out some game balls here, Steven. 258 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,480 We'll let you fire first, because I think we're gonna 259 00:13:39,519 --> 00:13:41,600 look up probably at the same game that Commander in 260 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,399 Chief Trophy game, because there were some mighty big performances 261 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:45,480 on both sides of the ball. 262 00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely and obviously number one for me. When you say 263 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,919 that somebody has done something that has not been done 264 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,879 in the one hundred and forty six year history of 265 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,120 Navy midshipman football, you gotta get a game ball for me. 266 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,200 So that goes to Eli heiden Rake for two hundred 267 00:14:06,279 --> 00:14:11,200 and forty three yards of receiving and three touchdowns on 268 00:14:11,279 --> 00:14:15,320 eight catches to give Navy though victory in or to 269 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,960 help give Navy the victoration say in the first leg 270 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:19,000 of the cic Trophy. 271 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,759 Speaker 4: So yeah, Eli Heidenrake for me. 272 00:14:21,559 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna go Well, I'm gonna kind of 273 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:25,919 go too. I'm gonna give up. I'm gonna give an 274 00:14:25,919 --> 00:14:31,399 honorable mention to Jackson Campbell, the linebacker for a Navy 275 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,600 who deflected the pitch by Sarka that Landon Robinson recovered 276 00:14:35,639 --> 00:14:40,399 because they were on their heels. And it really I 277 00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:42,399 thought our air force was gonna go down in there 278 00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:44,279 and score the game winning touchdown. You know, it's a 279 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,240 game of big plays or big plays by both offenses, 280 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,519 but with that much time left on the clock, I 281 00:14:51,519 --> 00:14:54,399 thought we were at at least minimum for overtime. If not, 282 00:14:54,879 --> 00:14:58,120 you know, if Falcons win and at a time where 283 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,240 they needed it most, they came up with and it 284 00:15:00,279 --> 00:15:02,840 was Jackson Robinson, you know, jumping up and getting a 285 00:15:02,879 --> 00:15:05,519 pall in that pitch. So he's gonna get honorable mentioned. 286 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:08,519 But look, Blake freaking horror Bath, I don't know how 287 00:15:08,519 --> 00:15:11,919 you can look much further than that. I mean, four 288 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,440 hundred and sixty nine yards of total offense, you know, 289 00:15:14,519 --> 00:15:17,759 breaking the single game record three thirty nine passing, one 290 00:15:17,919 --> 00:15:20,600 thirty rushing on the ground, as I mentioned, the first 291 00:15:21,279 --> 00:15:23,960 the senior captain, first Navy player to go for three 292 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,600 hundred yards passing and one hundred rushing in a single 293 00:15:26,679 --> 00:15:29,960 game since Brian Broadwater back in two thousand. That's what 294 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,080 that name is, a blast from the past. So Blake 295 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,360 Horrmath gonna get my game ball in a game that 296 00:15:35,639 --> 00:15:39,279 was full of drama, full of fun, and full of excitement. 297 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,799 Maybe not excitement if you were an Air Force fan, 298 00:15:41,879 --> 00:15:44,960 but boy, if you're an Air Force fan, you still 299 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,720 had to be encouraged by the performance that you saw, 300 00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:50,960 not by the result. You don't take moral victories in 301 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,159 this case. I totally get it, folks, But better you 302 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:57,159 played a lot better. And not only that, you had 303 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:58,759 a chance, you had the ball and a chance to 304 00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:01,840 win the whole football game at the end.

And that is what Stephen Carney and I 381 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,799 Price Accent are gonna do is we're gonna set the 382 00:20:09,839 --> 00:20:14,440 table for the weekend. And we've got three games coming 383 00:20:14,519 --> 00:20:18,319 up as we were recording on Friday, so tomorrow a 384 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,960 triple header starting on it will up at Mikey on 385 00:20:23,079 --> 00:20:26,559 the CBS Sports Network at twelve noon Charlotte hitting the 386 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,480 road to take on the Black Knights. Charlotte one in four, 387 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,680 zero and two in the American Army, looking for a 388 00:20:31,759 --> 00:20:34,119 second straight win as they are two and three overall, 389 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,559 one and two in the American Army, A seventeen and 390 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,279 a half point favorite in this one. I believe it's 391 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,039 down from what was eighteen and a half. So a 392 00:20:43,039 --> 00:20:45,200 seventeen and a half point favorite are the Black Knights 393 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,319 forty five and a half. It's the over under as 394 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:50,640 they're looking for that first win at mikey This Stadium, 395 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,480 which is kind of hard to believe. But Charlotte has 396 00:20:52,519 --> 00:20:57,160 dropped its last two outings both American games, losing to 397 00:20:57,279 --> 00:21:00,400 Rice in South Florida last week, fell on the road 398 00:21:00,519 --> 00:21:04,119 last Friday evening at USF there and Steven's Neck of 399 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,720 the Woods fifty four to twenty six. Who you saw 400 00:21:06,799 --> 00:21:10,319 them and I got we'll make some picks here in 401 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:13,559 our last segment, certainly, but I think that Army's gonna 402 00:21:13,599 --> 00:21:15,759 have a field day with this one. I think they're 403 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,359 going to get that second straight win in the conference 404 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,960 and that first win at home. I don't think Army 405 00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:22,720 is gonna have a lot of problems, but you know what, 406 00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:24,240 you still got to show up and that's why you 407 00:21:24,279 --> 00:21:24,799 play them. 408 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 4: Oh absolutely. 409 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 3: I got a chance to see Charlotte up close and 410 00:21:29,279 --> 00:21:33,799 personal last Friday night here in Tampa. They came to 411 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,200 Raymond James Stadium to take on the South Florida Bulls 412 00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:41,559 and USF jumped out on them huge early. I mean 413 00:21:41,559 --> 00:21:44,319 it was twenty three nothing at the end of the 414 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,359 first quarter. It was twenty six nothing in the first half, 415 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,519 and USF kind of took their foot off the gas 416 00:21:51,559 --> 00:21:52,400 at that point. 417 00:21:53,039 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 4: They had to score. 418 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 3: They scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to really 419 00:21:57,559 --> 00:22:00,640 make it a laugher again. But this is a forty 420 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,480 nine ers team. They are not very good at stopping 421 00:22:03,519 --> 00:22:05,920 the run, which obviously Army. 422 00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 4: Does really really well. 423 00:22:07,279 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 3: And so I mean Byron Brown, the USF quarterback, had 424 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,440 one hundred and sixty three yards rushing on the game 425 00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,839 and didn't play most of the fourth quarter, so they 426 00:22:19,039 --> 00:22:23,000 they they gave up. I want to say it was 427 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,519 close to seven hundred there. There was close almost seven 428 00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:30,960 hundred yards of offense from from from the USF in 429 00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:35,240 this game. Was it was unreal at how much offense 430 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:39,200 was was put up by by the Bulls and you know, 431 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,440 I will I will say this. They changed quarterbacks in 432 00:22:44,519 --> 00:22:48,960 the first quarter and they went to Zach Wilkie and 433 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,279 he looked a lot better than the first quarterback they had. 434 00:22:52,279 --> 00:22:55,759 He and I mean he went fourteen for eighteen two touchdowns. 435 00:22:55,759 --> 00:22:58,359 Did throw an interception that led to a USF score. 436 00:22:59,599 --> 00:23:02,200 You know, they but they they didn't. They don't have 437 00:23:02,279 --> 00:23:05,599 Connor Harrell and they don't expect him to be ready 438 00:23:05,599 --> 00:23:06,200 for this game. 439 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 4: CJ. 440 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:11,319 Speaker 3: Stokes has been banged up a lot this year, so 441 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:16,359 a lot of their offense has been not at one 442 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,599 hundred percent and I don't expect it to be one 443 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,720 hundred percent in this game. Is I think that holds 444 00:23:21,839 --> 00:23:25,000 well for Army as we as we get ready for 445 00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:25,440 this game. 446 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of interesting that Charlotte is finally back on 447 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,160 playing on a Saturday. They've already played three weekday games 448 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,079 this year, which kind of tells you about the forty 449 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,640 nine ers show being somewhat of an afterthought there. But 450 00:23:39,319 --> 00:23:41,519 they'll be back playing on a Saturday for the first 451 00:23:41,519 --> 00:23:44,599 time in a couple of weeks. So coach head coach 452 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,680 Tim Albin, squad gonna try and find a way to 453 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,680 manufacture a road win. I just don't see having I 454 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,799 think Army roles, but we will find out. As I say, 455 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,720 twelve noon kickoff there at Mikey Stadium on the CBS 456 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,519 Sports Network, Army is seventy and a half point favorite. 457 00:23:59,599 --> 00:24:02,960 All right, move on out West, UNLV the fighting Dan Mullins, 458 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,440 Holy Cow five and OH undefeated at one and OH 459 00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:10,000 in the Mountain West. Air Force heading to Vegas for 460 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,240 a Saturday three thirty Eastern Standard time kickoff, also on 461 00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:19,079 the CBS Sports Network is UNLV. I just had it. 462 00:24:19,519 --> 00:24:22,519 Where did it go? I had my point spread and it. 463 00:24:22,519 --> 00:24:25,319 Speaker 3: Is It is UNLV by six and a half over 464 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,880 under is sixty three and a half, six and a 465 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:29,279 half down from seven and a half. 466 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 2: There we go. 467 00:24:30,319 --> 00:24:34,039 Speaker 3: So Army, all right, excuse me. Air Force definitely getting 468 00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:37,640 a little bit of love, but yeah, it is still 469 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,200 a very decisive UNLV favorite. 470 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:42,599 Speaker 4: Yeah. 471 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 2: Air Force the leading the overall series eight to seven, 472 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,480 also nine and four in games played at UNLV. But 473 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,559 UNLV did defeat Air Force in the last meeting thirty 474 00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:58,000 one to twenty seven there in twenty three at Falcon 475 00:24:58,079 --> 00:25:01,200 Stadium to snap a five game losing strake in the series. 476 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,839 But look, this is a different I think we can 477 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,880 all agree Steve, that Dan Mullen's coming there and made 478 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:12,720 a difference immediately with quarterback Anthony Calandra transfer out of Virginia. 479 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,039 You mentioned they're five and oh one to zero in 480 00:25:16,079 --> 00:25:18,240 the Mount West. This is the first time, think now, 481 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,720 this is we're talking perennial, you know, first time in 482 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,440 fifty one years that UNLV is five and oh steven. 483 00:25:26,839 --> 00:25:28,799 And not only that, they lead them out less. And 484 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,759 you think Dan Mullen in offense, well, they're doing it defensively. 485 00:25:31,799 --> 00:25:34,119 They lead them out less and third down defense, fourth 486 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:41,519 down conversions, block punts, defensive touchdowns, fumble recoveries, interceptions, turnover margin. 487 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,599 They're doing it with defense, ironically, still with a more 488 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,400 than capable offense. So impressive what Dan Mullen has been 489 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,880 able to do in a very very short time there 490 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,119 in Vegas, where it's a place that's been very hard 491 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:54,559 to win at. 492 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:55,319 Speaker 4: Yeah. 493 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,200 Speaker 3: Another quarterback that I have gotten to see in person, 494 00:25:58,279 --> 00:26:02,240 Anthony Calandria went to Lakewood High School here in Saint Petersburg. 495 00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:05,440 So so a guy that I have seen up close 496 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,559 and personal. Not a surprise that Dan Mullen went after him. Obviously, 497 00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:14,160 he recruited the state very well when he was the 498 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,279 head coach of the Florida Cators. And when when I 499 00:26:18,319 --> 00:26:21,480 saw that Calandria went into the transfer portal this last 500 00:26:21,519 --> 00:26:25,039 offseason and was like, Oh, he's going to UNLV. 501 00:26:25,559 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 4: I wonder what that's all about. 502 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 2: You know. 503 00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 3: Obviously Dan Mullen getting his hooks into somebody from the 504 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:32,680 Sunshine State. 505 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,319 Speaker 4: He's been a fantastic quarterback for them here this year. 506 00:26:36,519 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 3: They've had some some pretty good rushing totals as well 507 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,000 a very balanced attack from the running rebels. But as 508 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:47,240 you mentioned, their defense has been the reason why they 509 00:26:47,279 --> 00:26:53,079 are five and zero this year. Granted, the the teams 510 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,519 that they have played not the you know they're not. 511 00:26:56,799 --> 00:27:00,000 They haven't beaten an SEC or a Big ten team. 512 00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 4: Uh. 513 00:27:01,319 --> 00:27:02,839 Speaker 3: I guess, I guess you could say they have beat 514 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,400 a Big ten team with a with UCLA, I always forget. 515 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,039 I always think of them as Pac twelve, not Big ten. 516 00:27:08,079 --> 00:27:10,839 But they're a Big ten team now. Uh But apart 517 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,000 from UCLA, which gets gets better every week, you know, 518 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,400 because of them beating Penn State, but you know, they 519 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,759 beat Idaho State, they beat Sam Houston, they beat Miami 520 00:27:21,759 --> 00:27:24,519 of Ohio, and they beat Wyoming in their only Mountain 521 00:27:24,559 --> 00:27:27,160 West game so far this year. But they put a 522 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:31,680 hurtin on the Cowboys in Laramie. So that's a that's 523 00:27:31,799 --> 00:27:34,720 not an easy place to play, and they went in 524 00:27:34,759 --> 00:27:36,720 there and handled it quite easily. 525 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,839 Speaker 4: So you know, unfortunately for Troy. 526 00:27:39,599 --> 00:27:43,799 Speaker 3: Calhoun and company, this is going to be I think, uh, 527 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,720 one of one of the tougher tests that they have 528 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:47,319 this year. 529 00:27:47,519 --> 00:27:50,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, without a doubt. To me, this game 530 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,000 is all about one thing, and that's the Air Force 531 00:27:53,079 --> 00:27:55,599 defense being better than what they've been all season. Because 532 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,839 you just went through a couple you know, basically you 533 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:00,720 and l the schedule of this point five and oh 534 00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:04,400 they've scored over thirty points and all their wins. But 535 00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:06,519 the Air Force has got to find a way to 536 00:28:06,559 --> 00:28:10,079 be better defensively because in their three losses in the 537 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,720 American they've gave it given up forty plus points in 538 00:28:12,799 --> 00:28:15,599 all three of those games. Obviously they gave up thirty 539 00:28:15,599 --> 00:28:18,480 four last weekend to Navy. You've got to be better. 540 00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:20,480 You've got to get off the field on third down, 541 00:28:20,519 --> 00:28:23,160 you've got to get stopped. So to me, this is 542 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,400 really Stephen about the Air Force defense. Can they be 543 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,720 better than they've been all season. Something tells me no, 544 00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:32,799 but we'll find out. I just think that UNLV's got 545 00:28:32,839 --> 00:28:35,319 a whole lot rolling right now, is we'll we will 546 00:28:35,319 --> 00:28:37,240 make some picks here in the in the last segment. 547 00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 4: Yeah. Absolutely. 548 00:28:38,839 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 3: And if you're not gonna be able to stop either 549 00:28:42,319 --> 00:28:44,880 the run or the pass of the rebels. 550 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,359 Speaker 4: You've got no shot at winning. 551 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 3: You got it. You've got to You've got to make 552 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,599 them one dimensional. And if you can't do that, you're 553 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:51,079 in trouble. 554 00:28:51,519 --> 00:28:54,880 Speaker 2: All right, last game of the weekend, This is gonna 555 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:58,799 be a four o'clock kick on ESPN two Navy at 556 00:28:58,839 --> 00:29:02,640 Temple to undefeated teams in the American Are I believe 557 00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:06,559 right now my count is six undefeated teams still in 558 00:29:06,599 --> 00:29:10,039 the Americans. So this one's gonna knock another from the 559 00:29:10,119 --> 00:29:13,359 ranks of unbeaten in the conference. Again at four o'clock 560 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,759 kickoff ESPN to Navy five and oh, three and oh 561 00:29:16,799 --> 00:29:19,000 in the American Temple three and two, one and oh 562 00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:21,039 in the American Navy a ten and a half point 563 00:29:21,079 --> 00:29:24,200 favor over Under fifty two and a half as the 564 00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,960 midshipman looking to get Bowl eligible for a second consecutive year, 565 00:29:28,039 --> 00:29:30,880 getting it out of the way early. But this is 566 00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,519 gonna be a homecoming game for Temple. Why they picked Navy, 567 00:29:33,559 --> 00:29:36,799 I don't know. But Temple is also the only team, 568 00:29:37,119 --> 00:29:39,759 the only team in the FBS that has yet to 569 00:29:39,799 --> 00:29:43,880 commit a turnover this year. So turnover free football is 570 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,200 the name of the game. And this one at Lincoln 571 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,400 Financial Field certainly in place that Navy knows all too 572 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:51,440 well playing that annual Army Navy game there. 573 00:29:52,039 --> 00:29:52,279 Speaker 4: Yeah. 574 00:29:52,319 --> 00:29:55,119 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And I was looking at their their senior quarterback, 575 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,519 Evan Simon, you know, for for so long, you know, 576 00:29:58,559 --> 00:30:00,640 I always I always think of when I think Temple. 577 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,039 Speaker 4: I always thought of EJ. Warner as the as the quarterback. 578 00:30:03,119 --> 00:30:07,079 Speaker 3: But you know Simon, uh, you know, from from that area, 579 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:08,319 is from Mountjoy. 580 00:30:08,759 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 4: Uh. 581 00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 3: And as you mentioned, no turnovers so far this year 582 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:15,640 for the Owls, and he's thrown twelve touchdowns so far. 583 00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:19,680 He's got over eight hundred yards passing and twelve touchdowns. 584 00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:20,400 Speaker 4: Uh. 585 00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,839 Speaker 3: You know, had a really really tough showing a couple 586 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,880 of weeks ago against George Tech. You know, only one 587 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,319 hundred and twenty seven yards passing. 588 00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:32,000 Speaker 2: Uh. 589 00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,559 Speaker 3: You know, it was averaging four yards of completion, which 590 00:30:34,599 --> 00:30:37,759 is not a not a great look to have but 591 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,640 but came back, had a much better game, a much 592 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:44,839 stronger game last week against UTSA in UH in their 593 00:30:45,599 --> 00:30:47,079 conference win. UH. 594 00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 4: That's that which is always a good sign. 595 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 3: But you know, not turning the ball over that that's 596 00:30:53,359 --> 00:30:54,960 the sort of thing that you want to see from 597 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:58,119 a service Academy team. And so if they can get 598 00:30:59,039 --> 00:31:03,200 Temple to make mistake especially you know, this this is 599 00:31:03,519 --> 00:31:07,000 a home game for Temple, but as you mentioned, this 600 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,359 is not a unfamiliar This is not unfamiliar territory for 601 00:31:11,559 --> 00:31:15,400 Navy because obviously for so many years they you know, 602 00:31:15,559 --> 00:31:18,960 they've played the Army Navy game so many times at 603 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,759 this stadium. So I certainly think that this is a 604 00:31:23,079 --> 00:31:27,640 much better situation that Navy finds themselves in. And and really, 605 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:29,920 when you look at the American and you look at 606 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,920 the top tier teams, you know, you think of there 607 00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:36,039 are five teams right now that I consider top tier 608 00:31:37,319 --> 00:31:41,559 programs in this conference. Navy is obviously one, Memphis, Chilane, 609 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,359 North Texas, and South Florida. Those are your top five 610 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,519 in whatever order you want to put them. I don't 611 00:31:47,519 --> 00:31:50,440 put Temple in that in that stretch though, if Temple 612 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:52,480 were to come out and get a victory in this 613 00:31:52,799 --> 00:31:54,519 you have to consider them to be in there. 614 00:31:55,839 --> 00:31:59,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think the jury to me is still 615 00:31:59,519 --> 00:32:02,000 really out out and what you're alluding to right now, 616 00:32:02,039 --> 00:32:05,640 because you know, they beat handily two terrible teams U 617 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:08,200 Mass and Howard, you know, to start the season. Then 618 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,640 they played two really good teams and got thumped pretty 619 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,680 good by Oklahoma and Georgia Tech, two teams that are 620 00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,920 ranked inside the top twenty currently right now, and then 621 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,079 they beat UTSA. I don't think it's you know, anything 622 00:32:19,079 --> 00:32:21,720 to write home about by a touchdown last week, So 623 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,160 to me, how good is Temple? But I still think 624 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,200 the fact that you played against two top twenty teams 625 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,359 and you didn't turn the ball over, you know, is 626 00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:34,160 a It's very more than respectable, clearly. But you know, 627 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,839 all time series, Navy does lead ten to nine in 628 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,880 last twenty years and the Mids are eleven and nine 629 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,960 in the game after playing Air Force. So we'll see 630 00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,440 how Navy comes out in this one, you know, because 631 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,359 you're gonna have to manufacture a little energy after getting 632 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,279 up last week for the first CIC game, playing at home, 633 00:32:55,319 --> 00:32:58,440 but you know, it's a big weekend in Philadelphia. Steven, 634 00:32:58,599 --> 00:33:00,359 you know, in the in the surrounding area for the 635 00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:02,799 Academy with you know, United States Navy in the United 636 00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:07,400 States Marine Corps. You know, not only is Navy football 637 00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,599 playing in Philadelphia, the Navy soccer teams are hosting Army 638 00:33:11,599 --> 00:33:15,000 and a double header on Friday night at Subaru Park, 639 00:33:15,039 --> 00:33:17,559 home of the Philadelphia Union. That's a double header that's 640 00:33:17,599 --> 00:33:19,839 part of the Army Navy Star Series. So that those 641 00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,319 games going to be happening tonight, you know, the weekend 642 00:33:23,519 --> 00:33:26,480 celebrating the two hundred and fiftieth birthdays of the Navy 643 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:30,440 and the Marine Corps. So you know, a lot happening 644 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:35,279 there really around Philadelphia and a lot of excitement around 645 00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:36,720 you know, the Naval Academy. 646 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,279 Speaker 3: You're you're so, you're telling me, Michael Kelly's got a 647 00:33:39,279 --> 00:33:40,480 busy weekend in front of him. 648 00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 4: And that's a. 649 00:33:41,359 --> 00:33:46,640 Speaker 2: Pretty darn busy weekend, I'll say so, is once again 650 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:51,240 Navy at Temple a four o'clock kickoff on ESPN two. 651 00:33:51,319 --> 00:33:53,759 Maybe a ten and a half point road favorite in 652 00:33:53,799 --> 00:33:56,119 this one.

Let's see how different 732 00:38:10,119 --> 00:38:13,119 we might be on our picks and the way we're 733 00:38:13,119 --> 00:38:15,360 going to go this week, and let's start with Charlotte 734 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:19,400 at Army twelve, noon, CBS Sports Network. Army a big 735 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,519 home favorite by seventeen and a half points in this one. 736 00:38:22,519 --> 00:38:25,320 I don't think there's probably any doubt that Army wins. 737 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,719 I think the question is by how much? Which way 738 00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:29,840 are you going with your score? 739 00:38:30,079 --> 00:38:33,559 Speaker 3: Yeah, I certainly am not not going to take the 740 00:38:33,559 --> 00:38:36,360 forty nine ers in this game, Absolutely not. I think Army. 741 00:38:36,639 --> 00:38:38,840 I think Army wins this game. I think Army wins 742 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:43,159 this game by three touchdowns. I think this is probably 743 00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:49,239 I'm going to say thirty five fourteen, Army winning this one, 744 00:38:49,639 --> 00:38:54,480 very very handily. Again, forty nine ers saw him in 745 00:38:54,519 --> 00:38:55,880 person this past week. 746 00:38:56,079 --> 00:39:00,800 Speaker 4: They can't stop the run. You can run through them made. 747 00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,960 Speaker 3: Their defensive line is like Swiss cheese, and a lot 748 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,719 of that has to do with the with injuries. But 749 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:10,360 I think that Kate Kate, excuse me, cal Hellums and 750 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,440 and company, they're they're gonna have no problems with this. 751 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,719 Speaker 2: All right. So you you're you're going with Army, Well 752 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:19,440 give me the score again. Forty nine to fourteen thirty five, 753 00:39:19,559 --> 00:39:22,320 fourteen thirty five four Oh man, god, we're we don't 754 00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:26,159 discuss these, you know, in advance, I had I've got 755 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,920 Army thirty five to ten, So we were exactly the 756 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,920 same score for Army. We were just barely off on 757 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,000 opponent score. And like I said, we do not usually compare, 758 00:39:35,519 --> 00:39:37,800 you know, our scores a lot. Sometimes we'll chit chat 759 00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,840 about who we think is gonna win. But you know, 760 00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:42,400 you are always pretty close. I think doing this now 761 00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,159 for several years together, we're we're of the same mind 762 00:39:45,199 --> 00:39:45,880 most of the time. 763 00:39:46,079 --> 00:39:46,639 Speaker 4: Yeah, all right. 764 00:39:47,079 --> 00:39:52,440 Speaker 2: Second game, Steven air Force at UNLV A big one 765 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,559 for air Force being challenged on the road, especially coming 766 00:39:56,599 --> 00:40:01,960 after having to travel out e to Annapolis last weekend. 767 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,800 An emotional game Commander Chief Trophy game with this one 768 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,440 a three thirty kickoff on the CBS Sports Network right 769 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:12,039 after Charlotte Armydue battle UNLV undefeated five and zero, one 770 00:40:12,119 --> 00:40:14,760 to oh in the American As UNLV is at home 771 00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,960 six and a half point favorite. Can't air Force do 772 00:40:18,079 --> 00:40:21,480 it get that first American Conference win? I mean first 773 00:40:21,639 --> 00:40:24,440 Mount West Wind. I don't think so, what say you. 774 00:40:24,639 --> 00:40:26,079 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think so either. 775 00:40:26,119 --> 00:40:28,239 Speaker 3: I think this is going to be a much tougher 776 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:31,800 task for UNLV than they've had so far this year, 777 00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,519 Allegiance Stadium is going to be packed. You know that 778 00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:38,960 they are coming, that Falcons fans and the whole group 779 00:40:39,559 --> 00:40:42,440 from Colorado Springs is going to make the trip to 780 00:40:42,519 --> 00:40:45,000 watch this game in you know, one of the nicest 781 00:40:45,039 --> 00:40:49,000 stadiums in the country. Allegiate Stadium is just absolutely beautiful. 782 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:53,840 Anthony Calandria I mentioned him or earlier. He's from Lakewood 783 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:56,239 High School. I've gotten a chance to see him in person. 784 00:40:57,000 --> 00:41:00,800 He was one of the best high school football quarterbacks 785 00:41:01,559 --> 00:41:05,360 here in this area when when he was playing, So 786 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,880 I'm I'm really excited to see what he does in 787 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:13,440 this game. Unfortunately, I think that air Force just falls short. 788 00:41:13,519 --> 00:41:17,239 I think this one is thirty four to twenty four UNLV. 789 00:41:18,159 --> 00:41:20,719 All right, this is where we're probably gonna differ a 790 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:21,159 little bit. 791 00:41:22,679 --> 00:41:27,199 Speaker 2: I like you like UNLV, I just don't like it 792 00:41:27,199 --> 00:41:30,280 to be nearly as close you're going thirty four to 793 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,960 twenty four. I just think the problem is that air 794 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,599 Force has got on defense right now, especially when it's 795 00:41:35,599 --> 00:41:38,639 in conference games, is a major issue, and I don't 796 00:41:38,679 --> 00:41:41,679 see them getting any better. I think air Force coming 797 00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,400 off the Navy game, I think they're going to be 798 00:41:43,679 --> 00:41:46,920 fairly flat in this one, you know, because you usually 799 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,320 think of UNLV as one of those cellar dwellers in 800 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,039 the conference, and they are anything button the Mount West 801 00:41:53,039 --> 00:41:56,639 this year. So I'm going with UNLV forty nine to fourteen, 802 00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:00,159 A big, huge win for UNLV at home over or 803 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:05,079 visiting Air Force. All right, Finally, a four o'clock Eastern 804 00:42:05,119 --> 00:42:08,159 Standard time kickoff there from Lincoln Financial Field, City of 805 00:42:08,159 --> 00:42:11,960 brotherly love. Navy at Temple in a game that I 806 00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:14,599 think is gonna be pretty darn close down to the end. 807 00:42:14,639 --> 00:42:18,639 Now we'll get Steven's pick first, but I don't know 808 00:42:18,679 --> 00:42:21,360 which way this is gonna go. Well I do. I 809 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,719 think Navy wins, But boy, I think this one's gonna 810 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:24,920 be close. Stephen, what do you think? 811 00:42:25,119 --> 00:42:28,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, And I would think that if if Temple doesn't 812 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:31,159 turn the ball over, I think you're right. I think 813 00:42:31,199 --> 00:42:33,719 that this gets to be much closer game. But I 814 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:37,280 don't think that happens. I think not only does Navy 815 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,119 force Temple to commit their first turnover of the year, 816 00:42:40,199 --> 00:42:42,320 I think they get two of them, and so and 817 00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,760 I think they turned both of them into seven points each. 818 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,440 So I think that this is a little further away 819 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:53,360 than you. I am gonna say that Navy beats Temple, 820 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,519 and I'm going to. 821 00:42:55,519 --> 00:43:01,960 Speaker 4: Say that it is How do I want to how 822 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:02,800 do I want to put this? 823 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,440 Speaker 3: I think this is gonna be forty two twenty eight 824 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,559 because because I think they get those turnovers and I 825 00:43:09,599 --> 00:43:10,960 think they turn them into points. 826 00:43:11,199 --> 00:43:14,320 Speaker 4: So I think it's forty two twenty eight, all right. 827 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,679 Speaker 2: I think this one is much closer. I like Navy 828 00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,039 thirty one to thirty. And I think, you know, again, 829 00:43:19,159 --> 00:43:22,519 the emotion coming off the Air Force game as mentioned 830 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:25,519 eleven and nine, is Navy coming off in the game 831 00:43:25,599 --> 00:43:29,000 right after the air Force game in the last in 832 00:43:29,039 --> 00:43:31,000 the last twenty years. And I think this is one 833 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,480 of those better Navy teams, certainly in the last twenty years. 834 00:43:33,519 --> 00:43:36,719 But you know, the emotion and then going on the road, 835 00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:39,280 you know against the Temple team, that's that's you know 836 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,400 that again, this is one that you think Sellar Dweller 837 00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,960 a lot of times. Finally EJ. Warner not there. But 838 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:46,800 I think this is just gonna be a close one. 839 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:47,960 I don't know if it's going to be a field 840 00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:49,239 goal at the end that wins it. I don't know 841 00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,199 if it's gonna be Temple that's scrapping and Clawn, but 842 00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,199 I think it's gonna be closed thirty one thirty Navy. 843 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,599 So we we all we both like Army, we both 844 00:43:56,679 --> 00:44:00,480 like UNLV, and we like Navy and this one. Steven, Yeah, 845 00:44:00,639 --> 00:44:02,679 all right, brother, Well let's get out of here because 846 00:44:02,679 --> 00:44:05,320 it's Friday.
