Football is back and so are we. We cover the first two weeks of the college season, including the beginning of the Kalen DeBoer era in Tuscaloosa, Notre Dame's upset loss to NIU, Florida State's terrible start, Auburn's losing to Cal in Jordan-Hare, a bright spot for Florida, sluggish Oregon, good-looking Miami, and plenty more. We also talk about a fantastic opening weekend for the NFL and we say goodbye to Alex Morgan.

[00:00:32] I'll have a take projection
[00:00:32] We'll start as always with our Todd, beloved Todd and Tuscaloosa the Katelyn DeBoer era officially kicked off last week
[00:00:40] with a just a crisp sound ass whooping of western Kentucky
[00:00:47] All fence look great, defense look great, it looked everything you wanted out of a first game of a new era
[00:00:53] and then yesterday as we record this Sunday night Saturday game 2 came around South Florida came to Tuscaloosa and for 3 1.5 quarters
[00:01:06] it was a struggle
[00:01:11] it was a rock fight, rock fight
[00:01:27] and when we did move the ball we'd fumble
[00:01:31] and when we did move the ball we'd fumble
[00:01:32] and we had a holding call
[00:01:36] and then finally in the end Alabama the tide offense broke through got the running game going 3 late touchdowns and you know made the score look you know if you just saw the score you'd see what was it 42-16
[00:01:52] and then the game
[00:01:53] yeah yeah it would be a ho home
[00:01:55] it was not so what that tells me first all is that obviously USF is the next great college dynasty
[00:02:04] yeah I mean all credit to them they played their asses off
[00:02:08] showed up
[00:02:10] had a good yeah had a good game plan but um
[00:02:42] he's a great football he seems to be a good football mind I mean it's Alex something I can't but yeah
[00:02:49] but I mean he seems to be a great football mind seems like um
[00:02:54] you know he has USF going in the right direction so I'd be interested to see
[00:03:00] what they do going forward for this season and in the future and you know if he keeps on improving there I mean he
[00:03:07] eventually probably a high commodity for power five time jobs and those things you know open up
[00:03:12] could be seems to be a be a good coach um but you know we won the game but you know it was some good things but a lot a lot that we got to work on
[00:03:25] but I think main thing we saw though we can cut back on the mistakes will be fine I mean
[00:03:30] it was a little different than the last year because we were actually moving the ball at times
[00:03:37] and we didn't do that at all
[00:03:41] 23
[00:03:43] I guess my biggest thing my biggest takeaway though is why did it why didn't we get forms be out of the game way beforehand
[00:03:54] we brought in Pritchett on the right tackle and we saw the last three drives are very smooth quick touchdowns
[00:04:02] no penalties and it's like why didn't this happen at that time
[00:04:06] yeah um you know they did mention that uh Pritchett was hurt so you know maybe they just didn't want to throw him in and risk
[00:04:14] and it does create a little worry about the depth of our line you know if we need Proctor to get healthy real quick
[00:04:21] you know he was a mysterious kind of scratch before the Western Kentucky game injured his shoulder and practice before the game
[00:04:30] yeah so you know we need him to get quick we need a Tako Casa kid to uh preferably not see the field again this year
[00:04:40] unless it's a mop up duty but he needs to definitely improve a lot a lot of penalties on the whole line
[00:04:46] but a lot of them were him specifically to
[00:04:48] yeah he had a lot of holding and he was getting whooped
[00:04:51] now and what he is a what I mean he's a young player so I mean there's a lot of years left so I mean it'll get better but
[00:04:58] you know that man I mean usf's good but man we're good it's gonna get tougher every week so yeah we're gonna see
[00:05:06] we're gonna need a vast improvement along the offensive line for sure um
[00:05:10] yeah definitely uh you want to give uh Jaylin Miller a more time to throw you know he
[00:05:16] you know someone in his face you know it's a lot of talk online last night you know he's not going through his progression
[00:05:22] yeah he didn't have time man
[00:05:24] right he was not pretty
[00:05:27] yeah but he's made some plays with his feet he's done that a lot
[00:05:30] um you know game one we talked about how Chris great the offense lucky at three throwing scores two running scores
[00:05:36] so he's done that three times now he's the only Alabama quarterback in history to throw three and run two in one game
[00:05:43] and now he's done it multiple times um I think he's looked great um you know other things through the first two weeks
[00:05:52] offensively Ryan Williams seems he's the real deal
[00:05:54] and yeah yeah that's what yeah
[00:05:56] I will say we uh tried to go to him a little too much I thought
[00:06:01] um you know they kept on foot you know trying to deep and I get it
[00:06:05] but I mean if it's not there we kind of went you know when we're that eventually you know
[00:06:10] we we're gonna have to have a better game plan just throw it throw it to Ryan because it seemed like we were
[00:06:16] you know they tried every now and again and you know someone's gonna pick them
[00:06:22] yeah definitely kind of a little reminiscent of those like Amari Cooper Calv early Calvin Ridley
[00:06:28] offenses where it's like that you know where the pass is going
[00:06:31] right
[00:06:33] because I you know um I think
[00:06:37] you know Bernard had Bernard had some good play good I thought they did a good job getting him in the early part of the game
[00:06:45] I would like to have seen him get more um such as throughout
[00:06:49] because I mean honestly we haven't seen much from him
[00:06:52] um and then you know Kobe Prentice had
[00:06:56] uh what the one touchdown I mean he looked solid
[00:07:01] but you know we're just gonna have they're gonna have just continued to
[00:07:07] I guess continue to learn what works and you know improve on
[00:07:13] keep adding things to it because I think but I mean it look it look it's looking good
[00:07:19] but it just is like work in progress more than anything everybody's looking used to each other
[00:07:23] I know whether it's been you know that a spring and a fall but really
[00:07:29] you know we know they can stay much longer than that to fully jail there
[00:07:33] but all this new systems and everything but
[00:07:36] yeah you know you mentioned uh you know the two other receivers Jeremy Bernard and
[00:07:42] uh Kobe Prentice and you got Kendrick Law on special teams he had a big night
[00:07:47] yeah um there's definitely the uh the talent is there to be a really really good receiving
[00:07:56] corpse all right but yeah like you said they just got a gel the lines got to figure
[00:08:01] their things out and we'd like to see some more I'd like to see some more
[00:08:04] intermediate routes and throws and some more screens some more really quick
[00:08:08] throws you know work some bubble screens uh you know get guys like Kendrick Law
[00:08:12] and um Ryan Williams the ball in space let him you know
[00:08:17] yeah good rhythm throws for Jaylen Milrow um yeah
[00:08:23] on the other side of the ball a defense has looked very intense and very violent
[00:08:28] the first couple weeks I love it so far I do like it yeah flying around for sure
[00:08:35] um yeah you definitely know the secondaries obviously got to grow up
[00:08:40] quick that group of linebackers I heard uh who's on the call last night Jesse Palmer
[00:08:46] say it's probably the best group yeah in Joe Testore yeah the best group of uh
[00:08:54] linebackers in the country possibly and that's you know probably a good argument for that
[00:08:58] um the line seems to be getting pressure you know obviously you always want more pressure but
[00:09:04] yeah uh yeah so far you know everything is looking good you know like you said
[00:09:11] the work in progress that's not always a bad thing like you know coach Dave me used to say
[00:09:14] like if it gives you something to coach him up on so right exactly and then I mean you
[00:09:21] working now what I was gonna say is you know you you know if we you don't if you looked
[00:09:31] your best in September I mean then you know you only have you know so but you know
[00:09:37] I like I like the effort um I liked the difference of flying around I thought I
[00:09:42] would have liked to have shut down the running game a little more from USF you
[00:09:47] know the quarterback ran but we did a better job shutting it down in the second half I
[00:09:52] thought first half he ran wild but he had by 90 yards in the first half um he did
[00:09:57] yeah and you gotta wonder how much was just they got tired and late in the game
[00:10:02] that left us out but yeah no he was and it was kind of one-dimensional it was a
[00:10:06] read option offense and he was they were going they're going fast he was making
[00:10:12] that read and making plays for a lot of first half before we finally shut it down
[00:10:18] right but you know we did a good job getting off the field on third down though I
[00:10:23] think they're like at one point one to fifteen on third down I think they
[00:10:26] finished one to seventeen on third down yeah so that is yeah that is great
[00:10:31] and that is not third and Kirby third in what's the guy that left us for Ole Miss
[00:10:38] obviously I've already put him out my brain
[00:10:42] who the hell in with it the guy that's tormented us for the past however many years
[00:10:47] I don't know why we can't take over but yeah
[00:10:50] I'm absolutely I see his face right now I'll tell you that much it'll come to me randomly
[00:10:55] but yeah
[00:10:57] yeah so in next week a big noon game early eleven o'clock Central time at Wisconsin
[00:11:03] at Camp Randall tough place to play
[00:11:06] Wisconsin hasn't looked super great either they kind of struggled for a bit yesterday
[00:11:12] with South Dakota
[00:11:13] not South Dakota State either just plain
[00:11:16] it's not it's not it's not the good Dakota
[00:11:18] North Dakota State or South Dakota State
[00:11:22] yeah so you know but still a tough environment first road game under Katelyn
[00:11:26] the board you know they're going to be loud they'll be intense for this game
[00:11:30] or
[00:11:32] the line's gonna have to you know know their calls Jalen's gonna have to know
[00:11:37] you know when the read blitzes when the you know
[00:11:40] when to take those deep shots when the pull it down run when the you know we
[00:11:43] need dumps and I think I said we need to see some more quick throws but
[00:11:49] should be exciting next week
[00:11:52] anything else on Bama before we move on
[00:11:55] you know I think you know there's stuff to work on but you know I think overall
[00:12:01] you know we can come
[00:12:03] two and oh and yeah I don't know what else
[00:12:06] they would have liked a cleaner game but we can work on that as season goes on
[00:12:11] most importantly we're two and no one like a lot of other teams that
[00:12:16] should also be two and oh so could be a much worse situation
[00:12:20] exactly exactly
[00:12:22] we will move on to let's start with those situations
[00:12:29] Florida State has not had a good start to the
[00:12:31] 2024 football season we mentioned we talked about last time we talked
[00:12:35] their week zero loss to Georgia Tech they then followed that up with a
[00:12:39] Monday night loss at home to Boston College
[00:12:46] yeah
[00:12:46] you know I like I said in our preview
[00:12:51] I had them as you know our prediction I had them as my disappointing team from the ACC
[00:12:55] just because I was like well you can only go down from last season
[00:12:58] you know Barna undefeated national title this year
[00:13:05] and they're not going to get there and they might
[00:13:07] struggle now to get into the playoff even if they
[00:13:10] are here now
[00:13:12] it's not too bad
[00:13:14] that's a tough
[00:13:15] yeah
[00:13:24] yeah definitely I mean
[00:13:27] you know you have to give your kudos to like we did the Georgia Tech
[00:13:32] but you know Boston College really came in there and smacked them in the mouth
[00:13:35] I mean it wasn't close
[00:13:38] no they got out physical
[00:13:40] they ran all over them
[00:13:42] the best say same game playing Georgia Tech had they these two teams just ran right at Florida State
[00:13:47] and then that shouldn't happen if you're a team like Florida State
[00:13:51] yeah it's best I mean because that was going to be a spoiler the strength of the
[00:13:56] the strength of the team was it's supposed to be the defense again
[00:14:00] now given they lost a lot to the draft but you know through the transfer portal that
[00:14:05] they seem to be very fond of and
[00:14:09] you know they were supposed to be a great defensive
[00:14:13] unit again and definitely not the case at this point
[00:14:17] and man it doesn't look like
[00:14:20] a DJU situation is going to work out long term
[00:14:25] he may not even make it through the season
[00:14:27] he has not looked good at all
[00:14:31] yeah that's a shame there
[00:14:34] I don't know if it's a play calling if it's him
[00:14:37] I'm assuming it's a mix somewhere he's just not
[00:14:41] he's not Jordan Travis
[00:14:45] we saw him at Clemson I mean
[00:14:48] and honestly you know everybody was so high on him after that
[00:14:53] Lawl said no to Dame when he came in
[00:14:56] and put up a boat you know I had about a 400 yard passing game
[00:15:00] and so I've been in the COVID year
[00:15:04] and that was oh my god DJU is so good
[00:15:08] and you know
[00:15:12] but you know to be interesting you know I know the crowd was calling for the backup
[00:15:16] I think he's a four star pretty highly-todd a guy
[00:15:19] can't think of his name right now but his name was definitely getting called last Monday
[00:15:25] the thing is though it doesn't get easier for Florida State
[00:15:28] and I think he's a good Memphis team is coming to town
[00:15:32] yeah a Memphis team that you should not look past
[00:15:36] no
[00:15:37] I doubt they will they're on high alert now but
[00:15:40] yeah
[00:15:42] it's a
[00:15:43] I don't know
[00:15:44] it doesn't get easier and then they have I think SMU and
[00:15:48] Cal maybe before
[00:15:51] they face Clemson either at the end of this month or the start of
[00:15:56] October we have Memphis comes to town that's also an 11 o'clock
[00:15:59] 11 o'clock kick this Saturday so
[00:16:03] we'll see how Mike Novel fares against his old school
[00:16:06] that was where it was
[00:16:08] prior to coming to Florida State so that would be interesting
[00:16:12] and you know Memphis is a team that a lot of people are on high on to be one of those
[00:16:17] contenders out of the
[00:16:19] out of the mid major type so that would be
[00:16:22] how to
[00:16:23] the
[00:16:25] yea let's see elsewhere the big story
[00:16:29] week one was kind of tame as far as upset you know we mentioned the Boston
[00:16:34] college but that didn't happen till
[00:16:36] Monday
[00:16:38] yesterday it was a lot of close calls for a lot of people
[00:16:41] but then Notre Dame
[00:16:43] a home lost to NIU
[00:16:46] something to Greg we know
[00:16:47] and we know all two of them
[00:16:49] we've seen one of those first hand
[00:16:51] but Alabama was not number five
[00:16:53] in the country at that time
[00:16:54] we weren't
[00:16:57] way
[00:16:59] different situation
[00:17:02] you know
[00:17:03] it's funny because
[00:17:05] week one
[00:17:08] overall it was pretty impressive
[00:17:09] to go into college station
[00:17:12] get the wind
[00:17:15] and
[00:17:15] you know
[00:17:15] the enemy defense look good
[00:17:18] the offense
[00:17:20] have some work to do there
[00:17:22] but you know for Notre Dame
[00:17:23] to go into the house environment
[00:17:25] and get the wind like that
[00:17:27] after that people were like wow look at their schedule
[00:17:29] until they put a USC game
[00:17:31] he could very well go undefeated
[00:17:33] and went and lo and behold
[00:17:35] first game out the gate
[00:17:38] and they were bad yesterday
[00:17:39] and that works the other way around too
[00:17:42] because if they you know that's
[00:17:44] looking at their schedule there's now not a lot of
[00:17:48] places to
[00:17:49] you know
[00:17:50] yeah to get a marquee win
[00:17:51] granted you know if they went out 11-1
[00:17:54] Notre Dame getting into playoff
[00:17:56] but still you know
[00:17:58] they're gonna have to play a lot better
[00:18:01] go 11-1
[00:18:02] mmhmm yeah they have
[00:18:03] they have to go on the road to Purdue next week
[00:18:06] which again should be winnable
[00:18:07] but we thought that about you now you at home
[00:18:11] mmhmm
[00:18:11] it's just weird these kind of losses
[00:18:13] just it seems to be something that happens in Notre Dame
[00:18:16] the past few years
[00:18:18] you know a couple years ago they had that loss
[00:18:19] at home to Marshall yeah Marshall
[00:18:21] they lost
[00:18:23] at home granted Cincinnati made the playoff
[00:18:25] but you know they lost to them that one year
[00:18:28] mmhmm
[00:18:31] I feel like you know Leif
[00:18:33] it's just something that you don't
[00:18:35] it's you know if you're Marcus
[00:18:37] that's not a good loss you don't want that
[00:18:39] on your resume at all
[00:18:41] it's year three
[00:18:43] Riley Leonard has looked
[00:18:45] good for them but
[00:18:47] you also gotta wonder
[00:18:49] I mean shouldn't Notre Dame should be getting
[00:18:51] five-star talent you know they should be having
[00:18:54] big time QBs coming there
[00:18:55] but if they have to hit the portal too
[00:18:56] you know no knock against
[00:18:59] Wake Forest or Duke but
[00:19:00] those aren't programs that Notre Dame
[00:19:02] should be getting quarterbacks on you know
[00:19:04] no
[00:19:06] now but it may
[00:19:08] yeah
[00:19:08] I will say you know right
[00:19:11] you know I don't know
[00:19:13] you know Riley Leonard is a tough
[00:19:16] kid he runs the bar well but overall
[00:19:20] I was kind of shocked I actually went with him there
[00:19:23] just because
[00:19:24] I don't think he's the quarterback
[00:19:26] that's gonna take you to the national championship
[00:19:28] you know it seemed to be
[00:19:30] kind of a repeat of Sam Hartman from last year
[00:19:32] you know
[00:19:33] and I'm not as good
[00:19:36] a player in my mind
[00:19:37] yeah so we'll see how that does
[00:19:40] like we said it's a very manageable schedule
[00:19:42] I mean like
[00:19:44] we said at Purdue then Miami Ohio
[00:19:46] Louisville, Stanford, Georgia Tech
[00:19:48] Navy all those games are it
[00:19:51] Winnebull
[00:19:52] yeah Winnebull and at home
[00:19:54] well Navy and Georgia Tech are both neutral sites
[00:19:58] Georgia Tech technically is in
[00:20:00] Atlanta still and Mercedes
[00:20:02] but
[00:20:04] Florida State team comes to Tallahassee that's now not so
[00:20:08] daunting Virginia
[00:20:10] Army
[00:20:11] and then like you said they in the
[00:20:13] season at USC so that I mean that
[00:20:15] that's actually a joke of the schedule they have
[00:20:17] three true road games
[00:20:21] they did and they did look
[00:20:22] you know as close as a Hartwell victory
[00:20:24] in week one they went to Kyle Field
[00:20:26] and got the win so
[00:20:27] yeah I mean
[00:20:29] they look really good
[00:20:32] but
[00:20:33] you know yesterday
[00:20:34] they only put out 14 points at home
[00:20:37] when you're the number five team in the country
[00:20:39] it's not a good look
[00:20:40] I mean Riley Leonard two interceptions
[00:20:43] only 163 yards
[00:20:45] passing they didn't even really run
[00:20:47] the ball very well
[00:20:49] kudos to whatever northern Illinois
[00:20:51] did I honestly didn't
[00:20:53] watch too much of the end
[00:20:54] but
[00:20:56] they just kind of out
[00:20:58] physical to same thing you know they just
[00:21:00] kind of lined up they played discipline
[00:21:02] football nothing special they just
[00:21:04] executed their game plan and it worked
[00:21:06] right
[00:21:08] man
[00:21:09] I can only imagine the radio shows
[00:21:12] around South Bend just coming up
[00:21:14] we
[00:21:15] yeah
[00:21:17] see how that season turns around there
[00:21:20] but it's also never been more obvious
[00:21:22] I mean come on you're losing the Mac teams
[00:21:24] you're a big 10 school Notre Dame
[00:21:26] just go ahead and join
[00:21:29] join your brethren
[00:21:30] yeah
[00:21:31] let's see elsewhere though
[00:21:34] we'll go
[00:21:35] let's go back to the SEC now
[00:21:39] Georgia
[00:21:40] you know national
[00:21:41] and conference favorite
[00:21:44] destroyed Clemson in that first game
[00:21:46] it was an ugly first half
[00:21:47] kind of reminiscent of their game
[00:21:49] was that last year two years ago
[00:21:51] two years against Oregon
[00:21:52] yeah
[00:21:54] I mean we talked about the Georgia Clemson game
[00:21:57] when they got 10-7, 10-3
[00:21:59] oh yeah okay
[00:22:00] yeah but then it turned into
[00:22:04] a game against Oregon where they just
[00:22:05] Georgia turned it on just dominated
[00:22:07] that second half
[00:22:09] and then they played
[00:22:10] Tennessee Tech yesterday so
[00:22:13] so not even
[00:22:14] I mean they did what they were supposed to do
[00:22:17] Clemson did have a good rebound
[00:22:19] they did
[00:22:20] I was impressed with Clemson
[00:22:22] beat the hell out of Appalachian State at home
[00:22:24] they did
[00:22:26] Club Nick looked a lot better than he did against Georgia
[00:22:28] so you know
[00:22:29] you don't have to play Georgia every week
[00:22:32] so maybe there's still hope for Clemson yet
[00:22:35] yeah
[00:22:35] after that first game it was looking rough
[00:22:38] it was
[00:22:40] and that's what I was thinking
[00:22:41] you know
[00:22:43] you know as bad as things look
[00:22:45] for Clemson after week one
[00:22:49] the
[00:22:50] bright side of that
[00:22:52] is it may very well be that Georgia
[00:22:53] is just that good of a team
[00:22:55] and you're not going to see anything like that
[00:22:57] for the rest of the season
[00:22:59] yeah now if you're a Clemson fan
[00:23:02] that you know worries you because you used to
[00:23:04] be on par with those programs
[00:23:06] and now if you go to the playoff
[00:23:08] I mean
[00:23:09] is it Georgia's level
[00:23:11] or are you still going to struggle with
[00:23:12] even like a first round game
[00:23:16] but at the same time
[00:23:18] you still have
[00:23:18] you know you have a whole season to get better
[00:23:21] so
[00:23:22] you go much different November and December
[00:23:24] than what you looked in September
[00:23:26] so it'll be interesting
[00:23:29] to see what they do
[00:23:31] for the rest of the season
[00:23:32] for sure
[00:23:35] yeah it's definitely a manageable schedule
[00:23:37] they get a buy next week
[00:23:38] and they have NC State and Stanford
[00:23:40] at home before having to go to Tallahassee
[00:23:42] October 5th
[00:23:44] certainly there for them
[00:23:47] to keep the momentum from yesterday going
[00:23:49] oh sure
[00:23:53] another big
[00:23:54] not quite a number five
[00:23:57] losing at home upset but
[00:23:58] a very surprising
[00:24:00] Auburn loses at home to Cal
[00:24:04] doesn't look good at all
[00:24:06] doing it
[00:24:07] we talked about this game a little bit
[00:24:09] in our preview
[00:24:10] last year Cal had 17 chances
[00:24:12] to win the game and fumbled every one of them
[00:24:15] they didn't fumble it this year
[00:24:17] they kind of took it too
[00:24:19] Auburn you know the score wasn't a big blow out
[00:24:21] but
[00:24:22] Peyton Thorn four interceptions
[00:24:24] five turnovers total for the Tigers
[00:24:27] ooh
[00:24:28] it's rough
[00:24:30] Cal defense got after them
[00:24:31] early and often
[00:24:32] and you know if the Cal had
[00:24:35] any type of offense
[00:24:37] it could have been a blow out
[00:24:38] but for Auburn
[00:24:41] luckily Cal's offense
[00:24:43] wasn't much better
[00:24:45] for the majority of the game
[00:24:49] well you know that's it
[00:24:50] again
[00:24:52] and everybody's been saying it
[00:24:55] I don't know what free season
[00:24:56] saw in that quarterback
[00:24:58] he thought that I was this guy
[00:25:00] Peyton Thorn
[00:25:01] I don't get it
[00:25:04] well not only that
[00:25:06] but we've talked about it before too
[00:25:07] look
[00:25:08] I think I even answered this on Twitter
[00:25:13] you know one of our
[00:25:15] I forget his exact hand
[00:25:17] on them but some Birmingham
[00:25:20] drinks
[00:25:20] I can never remember
[00:25:22] I'll get it but you know
[00:25:24] basically they posed a question
[00:25:30] does
[00:25:30] you know how does the loss change
[00:25:32] does it change your outlook on the Auburn season
[00:25:34] and I said it doesn't because
[00:25:36] beforehand
[00:25:37] we kind of talked about how Peyton Thorn
[00:25:40] is definitely not the guy and he proved that again yesterday
[00:25:43] but also
[00:25:44] for all the big deal
[00:25:46] people like to make about you freeze
[00:25:49] his biggest moments
[00:25:50] were a decade ago now
[00:25:52] and like we mentioned
[00:25:54] in those two seasons where he beat
[00:25:56] Alabama and next Aben
[00:25:57] he still didn't even win the SEC West
[00:25:59] no
[00:26:01] so
[00:26:03] really
[00:26:06] are we sure he's that good
[00:26:07] you know college
[00:26:09] sportcast is
[00:26:10] you know that's the guys we're talking to
[00:26:14] and this particular handle is drink local
[00:26:16] B. Ham
[00:26:19] so
[00:26:21] he posed a question
[00:26:26] and that's what I said
[00:26:28] and yeah
[00:26:29] I don't think
[00:26:31] but we thought yesterday they still handled Cal
[00:26:34] yeah I thought they would at least be
[00:26:36] two or no
[00:26:38] I mean
[00:26:41] you know
[00:26:42] I would have thought playing at home
[00:26:45] would have been
[00:26:46] enough
[00:26:49] but yeah
[00:26:50] so now that they
[00:26:53] get into
[00:26:54] play New Mexico next
[00:26:56] look for them it's New Mexico
[00:26:57] and not New Mexico State
[00:26:59] right and it's a terrible
[00:27:01] New Mexico team do
[00:27:03] they're not good
[00:27:05] but I will say though
[00:27:07] the next two weeks are at home
[00:27:10] but Arkansas
[00:27:11] is looking much better
[00:27:13] should have won yesterday
[00:27:16] and Arkansas should have won
[00:27:17] and then
[00:27:20] after that OU comes to town
[00:27:21] and OU
[00:27:22] and
[00:27:23] I don't know what OU was doing
[00:27:26] yesterday but they
[00:27:27] got a quick 14 and then sat on
[00:27:30] sat on the 14
[00:27:32] the rest of the day
[00:27:33] yeah Houston as you know
[00:27:36] Willie Fritz
[00:27:36] this boys play tough but
[00:27:39] yeah that's not if you're a tiger fan
[00:27:42] that's like you said
[00:27:43] should be a definitely win next week
[00:27:46] it's their homecoming already I hope so
[00:27:48] wow
[00:27:49] and then you have
[00:27:50] like I said a feisty Arkansas
[00:27:52] Sam Pittman knows that he's got to have a good season
[00:27:54] they got to turn things around
[00:27:55] like you said they probably should have won
[00:27:57] and still water yesterday
[00:27:59] they should have won and still water a lot of
[00:28:02] oh man
[00:28:03] they went up 21-0
[00:28:06] I think they oughta really change the thing
[00:28:09] but they got down to the goal line
[00:28:10] and what they had to pick six
[00:28:11] pretty much a pick six the other way
[00:28:16] but yeah
[00:28:16] and then the double overtime
[00:28:19] ah man
[00:28:20] yeah that slipped away from them
[00:28:22] but you know a good showing though
[00:28:24] I mean you went into a
[00:28:26] you know a big 12 favorite
[00:28:28] still water double digit point
[00:28:31] I think at one point
[00:28:32] it was 10 I think it came down a little bit
[00:28:34] but I mean a good
[00:28:36] good showing for Sam Pittman I mean this is the game
[00:28:38] last year this team gets
[00:28:40] drug
[00:28:41] yeah
[00:28:42] yeah um
[00:28:43] so yeah they get
[00:28:45] UAB back in Fayetteville
[00:28:47] next week before coming to Jordan
[00:28:49] here so
[00:28:51] but yeah we
[00:28:54] yeah it was a good showing for them like you said
[00:28:56] they needed it a good show and elsewhere
[00:28:58] Texas has looked every part
[00:29:00] again National and
[00:29:03] Conference favorite they went
[00:29:05] Ann Arbor and just
[00:29:07] bullied Michigan
[00:29:09] throttled them yeah just
[00:29:10] Sark was in his back
[00:29:12] when you were looking good that squad looking good
[00:29:15] um
[00:29:16] Michigan could do nothing on the offensive
[00:29:18] side of the ball but it was really impressive
[00:29:21] what the Texas offense did to that
[00:29:23] Michigan defense
[00:29:24] because that's I mean
[00:29:27] that was the thing like a lot
[00:29:28] people were like oh you know why is Texas
[00:29:31] a seven point favorite Michigan will be
[00:29:32] able to shut them down they got
[00:29:34] and yes they have a great good defense
[00:29:37] however
[00:29:38] when your offense is that bad
[00:29:41] eventually against a good
[00:29:42] and I thought it was gonna be later than what
[00:29:44] it was you know I thought you know
[00:29:46] eventually Texas is gonna wear
[00:29:48] them down they're gonna be on the field a lot
[00:29:49] but Texas got after that defense early
[00:29:53] and
[00:29:53] that was the impressive part it was over
[00:29:56] early they didn't even let Michigan
[00:29:58] think they were in the game
[00:30:01] yeah no it was not
[00:30:02] yeah I didn't watch much of that one because
[00:30:04] I didn't need to uh
[00:30:05] yeah but they
[00:30:07] ate them up early
[00:30:09] and that was impressive to
[00:30:11] go into that environment
[00:30:12] and just dominate them and you know
[00:30:15] quiet that crowd real quick
[00:30:17] yeah they took
[00:30:19] took that crowd out
[00:30:21] um
[00:30:22] speaking of offense is looking really good
[00:30:25] Tennessee's offense
[00:30:26] looked every part of the hype
[00:30:29] now granted you know the
[00:30:30] competition hasn't been topped here
[00:30:32] but you know they beat a good
[00:30:33] always solid NCAA state team yesterday
[00:30:36] I mean Dave Dorn is a good coach
[00:30:39] mm-hmm
[00:30:40] you know they did struggle
[00:30:42] when week one against western Carolina
[00:30:44] so I thought that was a little worrisome
[00:30:47] come into the
[00:30:48] to this game um
[00:30:50] you know Grayson McCall
[00:30:52] moving into
[00:30:54] power football power coverage football
[00:30:56] it's been a little
[00:30:57] been a little tricky a little tougher
[00:31:00] for him um when he's a coastal
[00:31:02] um but
[00:31:04] you know um the Tennessee team
[00:31:06] if you're 51 to 10
[00:31:08] you know Nico
[00:31:09] for two touchdowns
[00:31:13] I mean he did have two picks but I mean
[00:31:16] 211
[00:31:17] you know he's living up to everything he's
[00:31:19] supposed to be they ran the ball well
[00:31:21] he throws the ball I mean
[00:31:23] they throw the ball over the place everybody
[00:31:25] caught I mean it would
[00:31:27] 10 10 it looks like
[00:31:29] eight or nine receivers had at least
[00:31:31] to catch there so I mean
[00:31:33] yeah they're there they're
[00:31:35] gonna be a problem for a lot of teams this year
[00:31:37] they're done they had offense
[00:31:39] mm-hmm yeah we mentioned
[00:31:41] they were
[00:31:42] you know also you know one of the better
[00:31:45] receiving corks in the country
[00:31:47] um the defense is
[00:31:49] maybe a little underrated
[00:31:51] and they've been kind of bad
[00:31:53] under Hypo but they're so far
[00:31:55] now granted like you said competition
[00:31:57] this hasn't been elite but you know
[00:31:59] they show signs of better defense last year
[00:32:01] and they may be even
[00:32:02] gonna be an even better this year
[00:32:05] mm-hmm we'll know more
[00:32:07] about them in a couple weeks they get Kent State
[00:32:09] home next week and then they travel to
[00:32:11] Mormon on the 21st so
[00:32:13] that'd be interesting yeah that'll
[00:32:15] be a good game to watch
[00:32:17] um elsewhere in the SEC
[00:32:21] uh last week gonna start the season that Sunday
[00:32:23] game LSU lost their fifth straight
[00:32:25] season opener uh that shot I heard
[00:32:28] that yeah I heard that statin could not
[00:32:29] believe it sure enough no yeah
[00:32:32] looking it up and they sure
[00:32:34] have not won
[00:32:35] a season opener since 2019
[00:32:37] they beat yeah that 2019
[00:32:40] team they beat the breaks off Georgia Southern
[00:32:42] yeah but since then they lost in the
[00:32:44] COVID year they lost their first game
[00:32:45] to Mississippi State
[00:32:47] and they lost at UCLA
[00:32:49] then they lost that wacky
[00:32:52] Florida State game and then they lost
[00:32:54] another they got you know beat down by Florida State last year
[00:32:57] last yeah so it's been a rough go
[00:32:59] they probably should have be USC
[00:33:01] um
[00:33:03] probably
[00:33:04] put it away yeah the defense
[00:33:06] improved but still that last
[00:33:08] drive USC just kind of went right
[00:33:10] down there and put it in the end zone
[00:33:12] did um
[00:33:15] and like we said
[00:33:16] that you know my I said
[00:33:18] in the preview you know personally my worry for them was
[00:33:20] they lost so much production on that
[00:33:22] and all fence that
[00:33:23] and us Myers look good you know I will say that he
[00:33:26] uh
[00:33:27] that's a guy he's not uh
[00:33:30] he's not Jaden Daniels but nobody is
[00:33:32] so
[00:33:34] but they they need to find some
[00:33:36] play makers and some you know
[00:33:38] our run hitters quick because
[00:33:40] they got a tricky game next
[00:33:42] week they go to Columbia and South Carolina
[00:33:44] team had games went to Lexington
[00:33:47] yeah
[00:33:48] uh huh
[00:33:49] that's a South Carolina team that went to
[00:33:52] Lexington and
[00:33:53] had their way with Kentucky
[00:33:56] um
[00:33:58] so
[00:33:59] other shoes gotta you know they gotta
[00:34:01] get right you know they even struggled for a little bit
[00:34:03] with Nichols yesterday
[00:34:05] um they finally
[00:34:07] pulled away second half
[00:34:09] yeah they finally pulled away but
[00:34:13] yeah that's that's an early
[00:34:15] kick 11 o'clock
[00:34:17] uh
[00:34:19] like I said it's gonna be a hostile environment
[00:34:22] uh
[00:34:23] LSU better watch out for that one
[00:34:25] yeah game day which
[00:34:27] tells you the kind of week it's gonna be but yeah
[00:34:29] so that that stadium is gonna be
[00:34:31] loud
[00:34:32] always a tough place to play but game day in town
[00:34:35] yeah
[00:34:37] you know
[00:34:39] they look real pedestrian week
[00:34:41] one um they struggle a little bit
[00:34:43] but man they came out
[00:34:45] and just draw
[00:34:47] I was that's the hell
[00:34:49] of a win for same beamer you know
[00:34:51] a lot of people
[00:34:52] you know we included weren't sure what South
[00:34:55] Carolina was gonna be at all this year
[00:34:58] but to go into Lexington
[00:34:59] against you know a well respected
[00:35:01] mark mark stoop's team
[00:35:04] who you know getting a lot
[00:35:05] of praise you know got their quarterback
[00:35:07] from uh
[00:35:08] Van de Graaff from Georgia you know people are high on him
[00:35:11] and bottled them
[00:35:13] 31 to 6 I mean that's impressive
[00:35:15] yeah
[00:35:16] no good way for those game cocks to start to season
[00:35:19] so you ever be interested to see if they
[00:35:21] what happened Saturday because honestly
[00:35:23] again I don't know
[00:35:25] you know is South Carolina that good
[00:35:27] you know is Kentucky maybe not as good
[00:35:30] as some thought
[00:35:30] um you know um
[00:35:32] you know we saw bits and pieces of LSU
[00:35:35] looking good against USC but
[00:35:37] they're still not a complete team
[00:35:39] um you know I think
[00:35:40] LSU is gonna have to go in there and
[00:35:45] put them to bed
[00:35:46] early because South Carolina
[00:35:48] as a team if you
[00:35:50] let them stay around
[00:35:52] they're building confidence and they're at home
[00:35:55] like Carl's gonna go crazy
[00:35:58] you don't want to get into
[00:35:59] they deepen the weeds in the third
[00:36:01] and fourth late third early fourth quarter
[00:36:04] and you're
[00:36:04] only up three or it's
[00:36:06] you're down a couple because man that's
[00:36:09] that's self sledding
[00:36:10] in Columbia if you get in that type of situation
[00:36:13] yeah
[00:36:14] um and you know for South Carolina
[00:36:16] too that's it they're not necessarily
[00:36:18] desperate to win this game but
[00:36:21] their schedule you know they get
[00:36:22] Acre in the week after and then a buy and then that
[00:36:25] October I think we talked about in the preview
[00:36:27] yeah Ole Miss and then
[00:36:29] at Alabama and at Oklahoma so
[00:36:31] you know they need this
[00:36:33] yeah if you go in
[00:36:36] you go into that
[00:36:37] four and oh you're feeling a lot better
[00:36:39] even if you lose all three
[00:36:40] you know you're still four and three with a very manageable
[00:36:43] right last half of the schedule
[00:36:45] yeah um
[00:36:46] but they would love to go into that
[00:36:48] Ole Miss game undefeated
[00:36:50] yeah right and they get them in
[00:36:52] that's another one in Columbia so if they're
[00:36:54] four and oh unbeaten
[00:36:56] Ole Miss is still unbeaten that's a huge huge
[00:36:59] yeah
[00:37:00] who knows
[00:37:01] game they might be here
[00:37:04] two times in Columbia
[00:37:05] who knows
[00:37:07] but yeah I mean that'd be interesting
[00:37:09] but yeah that'll be a fun one
[00:37:11] um
[00:37:13] um
[00:37:14] yeah uh SC else for any SEC
[00:37:17] this week yesterday
[00:37:19] um you know
[00:37:25] SCC wise I mean other teams
[00:37:27] I mean we talked about
[00:37:28] oh you struggle Arkansas
[00:37:30] shoulda won
[00:37:31] LSU played Nichols I mean they put them away late
[00:37:34] but it was closed for the first half
[00:37:36] um
[00:37:37] they put up 21 and a third
[00:37:40] I mean Texas A&M handle business
[00:37:42] I will say
[00:37:44] what's his name
[00:37:45] I know it was against Samford but
[00:37:47] DJ Lagway's first full game at Florida
[00:37:51] he looked good
[00:37:53] 456 passing three touchdowns
[00:37:56] he
[00:37:56] you know uh he might be the guy
[00:37:58] going forward it's weird how that works sometimes
[00:38:02] it's at least a guy
[00:38:03] that you want
[00:38:05] playing some downs like it maybe
[00:38:07] even if you go the old school
[00:38:09] Steve Spurrier rotation there
[00:38:11] right
[00:38:13] he that offense just looks
[00:38:15] a lot different with him in it
[00:38:17] um their first week
[00:38:19] you know they got beat pretty handily by Miami
[00:38:22] Miami
[00:38:23] yeah but even when they
[00:38:25] put Lagway in toward the end of the game
[00:38:27] after Hertz you know uh got hurt
[00:38:30] um
[00:38:32] man he
[00:38:33] he's got something there
[00:38:35] yeah they look different he's got something there
[00:38:37] he's got something there
[00:38:39] um yeah of course we all know
[00:38:41] you know it's the most brutal schedule in
[00:38:43] College football but there's something there with him
[00:38:45] uh and how to be uh
[00:38:47] interesting game that's coming up weekend uh
[00:38:49] Texas A&M of course they
[00:38:50] you know in last week one Florida
[00:38:52] last week one they all both bounced back
[00:38:54] with big you know
[00:38:57] games they should have won but now they
[00:38:59] A&M goes into the swamp
[00:39:01] something that would be interesting
[00:39:03] game Saturday the swamp will be rocking
[00:39:04] they they're just so hungry for that kind
[00:39:07] of big win in the Billy Napier
[00:39:09] because yeah you bounce back
[00:39:11] if you beat A&M next week
[00:39:13] you go on the road to Starkville
[00:39:14] they're not looking too great they got they got bounced
[00:39:17] to buy uh it was on a
[00:39:18] state last night wait it was on a state last night
[00:39:21] yeah uh
[00:39:22] then all of a sudden you could be three and one
[00:39:24] going in your buy
[00:39:26] and then you have UCF
[00:39:28] at Tennessee and Kentucky for
[00:39:30] homecoming
[00:39:31] you know maybe Kentucky is not looking maybe
[00:39:34] as good as we have
[00:39:35] and that thing gains will so I mean
[00:39:37] there could be a win
[00:39:39] at UCF I mean they
[00:39:41] could beat them
[00:39:42] yeah well you know let's say
[00:39:45] be conservative let's say they do when those two
[00:39:48] home games they lose the road game at
[00:39:49] Tennessee uh it's still
[00:39:51] five and two going into your buy before
[00:39:54] the cocktail party
[00:39:55] and that absolutely brutal
[00:39:58] November but
[00:40:00] five and two going into
[00:40:02] that is a lot better than
[00:40:04] you know anything else
[00:40:07] exactly I mean after
[00:40:08] week one I mean people
[00:40:09] thinking man well they win anything
[00:40:11] you know we look at it as scheduled
[00:40:13] but yeah I mean if they were to go into the
[00:40:15] cocktail party five and two
[00:40:18] I mean you couldn't
[00:40:20] ask for much better than that based on how things
[00:40:22] started week one
[00:40:24] yeah um especially
[00:40:26] yeah if this lag way kid if he all of a
[00:40:28] sudden just if it clicks
[00:40:30] like we said they look different he looks
[00:40:32] like a star
[00:40:34] and um you know Miami
[00:40:36] fans will also be hoping that
[00:40:38] he can play a lot and play well because
[00:40:40] they don't want him transferring after the season
[00:40:43] right
[00:40:45] but uh yeah
[00:40:46] I think other than that you know not
[00:40:48] much to speak of in the SEC yet
[00:40:50] Ole Misses look great on offense
[00:40:52] but they've also played middle Tennessee
[00:40:54] and yeah I don't even remember who
[00:40:56] they played last week
[00:40:59] um they're putting up
[00:41:00] points but as they should I mean
[00:41:02] we know how good that offense is
[00:41:04] and until they play somebody
[00:41:06] you can only take them for what
[00:41:08] it's worth and just to throw in their
[00:41:10] Vanderbilt is two and oh hey yeah
[00:41:13] they win against
[00:41:14] Vybtech
[00:41:16] yeah surprising when you know a lot
[00:41:18] of people over Vybtech
[00:41:20] but a win
[00:41:22] is a win like you said two and oh
[00:41:24] and they go to Georgia State
[00:41:27] uh in Atlanta next week
[00:41:28] um
[00:41:30] elsewhere we did we mentioned Miami
[00:41:32] uh Cam Ward seems to be the answer
[00:41:34] to what Mario Cristobal is looking for there
[00:41:36] uh he has transformed that offense
[00:41:39] uh of course you know they got Damian
[00:41:40] Martinez running the ball too but pound
[00:41:42] uh was that receiver Restrepo
[00:41:46] Restrepo
[00:41:47] yeah
[00:41:49] the Hurricanes are looking good
[00:41:51] um
[00:41:53] it's you know we I think
[00:41:54] you pick them as your ACC champ right
[00:41:56] uh I pick them
[00:41:59] as my like surprise team for the college
[00:42:01] football playoff meaning I think they can make
[00:42:03] a little bit of noise and so far
[00:42:06] uh
[00:42:07] our prediction curse hasn't jinxed
[00:42:09] them yet
[00:42:10] so far so good
[00:42:12] but they got their schedules
[00:42:15] real manageable too
[00:42:17] uh ball state next week
[00:42:19] and they go at USF
[00:42:20] tricky game but should
[00:42:22] be a win
[00:42:24] Virginia Tech team that's not
[00:42:26] definitely not the Virginia Tech of old
[00:42:29] then at Cal who feisty
[00:42:31] but again this is a team Miami
[00:42:33] should be
[00:42:35] you know that puts you six six and oh
[00:42:37] going into your buy and when you come back
[00:42:39] from that you go at Louisville then host Florida State so
[00:42:41] man at Louisville
[00:42:43] is always a tough tough tender
[00:42:45] yeah going to Louisville
[00:42:47] but a good thing yeah like you said
[00:42:49] they're coming off the buy
[00:42:50] I think it's much better when you go
[00:42:53] on against again with a game
[00:42:55] like that going into Louisville
[00:42:57] off a buy because we've seen teams
[00:42:59] coming off of just uh
[00:43:01] a week before
[00:43:03] aka Notre Dame last year
[00:43:05] man Louisville could be a
[00:43:07] bad spot
[00:43:09] yeah it's a tough place to play
[00:43:11] it's not a
[00:43:12] looks like it's a Saturday I was about to say if it's a Thursday night game
[00:43:15] it's over no
[00:43:17] don't even
[00:43:17] don't even go
[00:43:21] uh but yeah and then uh
[00:43:24] that's the organ uh
[00:43:25] you know another national title favorite
[00:43:27] they're winning they're looking sluggish
[00:43:29] so far this year
[00:43:30] looking bad I mean week one
[00:43:33] what was it Idaho
[00:43:34] was it Idaho or
[00:43:37] FCS Idaho
[00:43:38] and they really struggled with them until late
[00:43:40] struggled
[00:43:42] struggled with them throughout
[00:43:44] then yesterday
[00:43:46] honestly I started getting sleepy
[00:43:48] towards the end because it was one o'clock
[00:43:51] play
[00:43:53] you know that uh
[00:43:55] it looked like a boy
[00:43:56] it looked like a boysy team of old
[00:43:58] they were not afraid they were making big plays
[00:44:00] they were
[00:44:01] I mean organ looks fast
[00:44:04] on that out when they get the ball
[00:44:06] out yeah they do
[00:44:07] they're fast but
[00:44:10] man I'm shocked that the all friends of line
[00:44:12] struggled like they did the defense
[00:44:14] struggled um
[00:44:16] and the thing is is like
[00:44:18] the week prior like boysy state when
[00:44:20] they went to Georgia Southern Georgia Southern
[00:44:22] or was it I have to give it to Georgia Southern
[00:44:24] I would give Georgia Southern Georgia State
[00:44:26] it was southern
[00:44:28] Southern yes but either way
[00:44:30] they passed all over a boysy state
[00:44:32] and I really thought
[00:44:33] that
[00:44:35] Oregon's gonna bounce back well
[00:44:37] against this boysy state defense
[00:44:39] I mean they gave up
[00:44:41] life
[00:44:41] 350 400 yard pass into the previous
[00:44:45] week so I thought man Georgia
[00:44:47] was gonna be a big bounce back for Oregon
[00:44:49] and I mean they put up
[00:44:51] 37 but I mean it was the last
[00:44:53] second field goal definitely not the
[00:44:55] spread and
[00:44:56] I mean another home game in Eugene
[00:44:58] and so
[00:45:00] you know
[00:45:01] you know they're 2-0 but
[00:45:05] man that is not
[00:45:07] exactly what we'd expect Oregon to be
[00:45:10] based upon the hype
[00:45:11] of the season so far
[00:45:13] coming in to the season
[00:45:14] and you know we'll find out if that
[00:45:17] speaks more to like you know is Oregon struggling
[00:45:19] or is maybe
[00:45:20] hey maybe boysy state's kind of back
[00:45:23] you know so to say
[00:45:24] you look at their schedule that easy
[00:45:27] they could win out finish 11-1
[00:45:29] you know and then you have that
[00:45:31] all you gotta do is win your mountain west title
[00:45:33] and then you're a playoff team
[00:45:35] that looks like a squad that you know
[00:45:37] you probably don't want to play in a first round
[00:45:39] playoff game
[00:45:41] but yeah their schedule
[00:45:43] sets up you know they really don't have any more tests
[00:45:45] they get Washington state and Oregon state
[00:45:47] they play them both but at home
[00:45:49] um
[00:45:50] they do have to go at you know the
[00:45:53] you know road trip to
[00:45:55] Hawaii you know
[00:45:56] Hawaii is not
[00:45:58] the Hawaii but that's always
[00:46:00] you know it could always be tricky
[00:46:02] probably strange going out there but yeah I mean
[00:46:04] nothing to
[00:46:06] nothing
[00:46:08] if the boysy state that we saw last night
[00:46:11] in Eugene
[00:46:12] they play like that weekly
[00:46:13] should have a pretty I mean they should
[00:46:15] be very successful for the rest of their season
[00:46:19] yeah and then uh
[00:46:20] Oregon
[00:46:22] uh hey we say
[00:46:24] yeah they're gonna they're gonna hit that
[00:46:25] meet they get Civil War next week man
[00:46:28] uh
[00:46:29] it'll be weird we see that
[00:46:32] yeah we see Civil War
[00:46:34] and the Apple Cup next weekend
[00:46:36] how weird
[00:46:37] and and they gotta go to Corvallis so
[00:46:41] um
[00:46:41] you know Oregon state
[00:46:43] they would love to because this is the
[00:46:45] only this this is a one year
[00:46:48] thing where I don't think they play again
[00:46:50] yeah they don't have a
[00:46:51] set schedule I think like the Apple Cup does
[00:46:54] but
[00:46:56] yes
[00:46:57] love love
[00:46:59] to stick it to Oregon
[00:47:01] mm-hmm yeah they um
[00:47:03] you know Oregon state don't know much about them yet
[00:47:05] this year they 21 nothing win
[00:47:07] at San Diego State last night
[00:47:09] and then beat Idaho State in the opener so
[00:47:11] yeah don't know much
[00:47:14] we'll see
[00:47:15] yeah um
[00:47:17] other than that you know I didn't really have anything big
[00:47:19] from the rest of college football just yet
[00:47:22] uh anything else you wanted to hit
[00:47:25] uh would like
[00:47:26] uh
[00:47:28] man the uh
[00:47:29] the way Nebraska
[00:47:31] dominated Colorado was
[00:47:33] impressive uh you know I thought
[00:47:35] there was gonna be a shootout type because
[00:47:37] you know I thought you know me too
[00:47:39] I thought you know
[00:47:41] based upon Colorado's
[00:47:43] all defense that dealing
[00:47:46] my older with that offense was gonna get
[00:47:48] some points but I did not think
[00:47:50] that they were gonna shut down the Colorado's
[00:47:52] offense like they did
[00:47:54] you know Shadoah's standards did not look
[00:47:56] good at all
[00:47:58] they frustrated them they got after
[00:48:00] them and they really took it to
[00:48:02] Colorado man so
[00:48:03] I mean and they got out there was a lot
[00:48:06] of talk and now the pressure builds
[00:48:08] on Nebraska I mean their rank now
[00:48:10] um
[00:48:12] and but now people talking oh man
[00:48:14] man they could be going into Columbus
[00:48:17] undefeated at 7-0
[00:48:18] which at this point
[00:48:20] you know that's uh you know
[00:48:21] like Nick say would say a little rap play
[00:48:23] considering the struggles that
[00:48:26] Nebraska's had over the last
[00:48:28] five five five
[00:48:29] ten years because again they have not been
[00:48:32] into a bowl since 2016
[00:48:34] so I mean it's been a struggle
[00:48:36] yeah let's worry about your next opponent
[00:48:38] northern Iowa's next don't look past them
[00:48:40] alright but kudos to them
[00:48:42] you know they got off the snide there
[00:48:44] lost like three in a row to Colorado
[00:48:46] um
[00:48:47] but I mean they're looking much much different
[00:48:50] than what they have been to
[00:48:52] and you know I do you know they seem
[00:48:54] to have the right quarterback the right coach
[00:48:56] so be interested and see what they do
[00:48:58] hmm
[00:48:59] yeah no that's a that's a good call on that
[00:49:02] that was uh I expected
[00:49:04] it's just like you to see some fireworks
[00:49:06] and Nebraska just made that a good
[00:49:08] foreign game
[00:49:11] yeah let's
[00:49:12] uh well I guess real quick
[00:49:14] we can look ahead to next week
[00:49:16] um
[00:49:18] there's not really just not much
[00:49:21] we mentioned game days going to Columbia for LSU
[00:49:23] South Carolina
[00:49:25] uh
[00:49:26] but you know in those weeks that it doesn't
[00:49:29] look like very sexy as when the weird
[00:49:31] and the craziness happens
[00:49:33] that's in the weird yeah we do have
[00:49:35] let's see Friday night there's a should be
[00:49:37] a fun Arizona at Kansas State
[00:49:40] game
[00:49:40] very entertaining game
[00:49:43] very entertaining game
[00:49:44] also that uh two interesting
[00:49:47] games unlv going to
[00:49:49] Kansas unlv
[00:49:50] has been putting up
[00:49:52] monster numbers
[00:49:53] like they slaughtered Houston
[00:49:56] they slaughtered somebody last night
[00:49:59] Kansas coming off the loss
[00:50:00] to Illinois
[00:50:02] unlv goes into Kansas
[00:50:04] and gets that win watch out
[00:50:06] the rebels
[00:50:08] yeah that is a
[00:50:09] uh
[00:50:11] interesting game
[00:50:16] 72 points
[00:50:17] 72 points last night
[00:50:19] and they have probably the most
[00:50:21] legit celebration ever
[00:50:22] the slot machine on the sideline
[00:50:24] when they get the turnovers
[00:50:26] that's hilarious
[00:50:28] the slot machine
[00:50:31] uh and then
[00:50:34] Saturday
[00:50:34] we are of course we mentioned Alabama, Wisconsin
[00:50:37] LSU South Carolina, Memphis, Florida State
[00:50:40] Boston College
[00:50:41] at Missouri is now suddenly a very
[00:50:43] interesting game
[00:50:45] another early one
[00:50:47] 1145 central time
[00:50:48] uh
[00:50:50] Oklahoma now gets too lane
[00:50:52] um you know not the same
[00:50:54] too lane team you know not the cotton ball chance
[00:50:56] but still you know after
[00:50:58] they looked yesterday
[00:51:00] yeah that's a too lane team
[00:51:02] that could have
[00:51:06] could have
[00:51:06] one
[00:51:08] yeah
[00:51:08] I mean I didn't uh bet a lot of too lane fans
[00:51:13] would argue very questionable
[00:51:14] offensive pass interference call
[00:51:16] uh in that one
[00:51:18] yeah um
[00:51:20] we mentioned the Apple Cup
[00:51:22] and yeah they do
[00:51:23] uh we mentioned the Apple Cup and Civil War
[00:51:25] another big rivalry the backyard brawl is next week
[00:51:28] oh wow
[00:51:30] yeah uh Texas and then Florida
[00:51:32] we mentioned
[00:51:33] that was actually pretty interesting week
[00:51:36] yeah I'd say there's a lot of
[00:51:38] it's not like a lot of heavyweight
[00:51:40] about sexiest but
[00:51:42] I mean it's a lot of interesting
[00:51:44] you know just a lot of entertaining like
[00:51:46] hmm like kind of
[00:51:48] things that you know UCLA plays their first big 10 game they host Indiana
[00:51:52] uh let's see Colorado
[00:51:55] so weird to say that
[00:51:57] yeah right it's it doesn't feel right
[00:51:59] Colorado and Colorado State remember
[00:52:01] the great game from last year that
[00:52:03] you know Colorado's got to go to Fort Collins now and
[00:52:06] hmm
[00:52:07] after that you know
[00:52:08] yeah you gotta
[00:52:13] you gotta bounce back
[00:52:14] too if you're Colorado
[00:52:16] because you don't want that
[00:52:17] you know I lost a snowball
[00:52:20] yeah because I mean it could
[00:52:21] get bad quickly
[00:52:23] I mean we saw them blow out
[00:52:26] Nebraska last year and they squeak by Colorado
[00:52:28] stating it was that you know
[00:52:30] little chippiness after that game
[00:52:31] J. Norvell was
[00:52:33] I think that's his name for Colorado State
[00:52:36] coach was
[00:52:37] got pretty chippy there at the end
[00:52:39] and man it's kind of
[00:52:41] be in Fort Collins we know there's no love
[00:52:44] between the two programs so that
[00:52:45] could be interesting you know at one point
[00:52:48] Georgia going to Kentucky
[00:52:49] seemed interesting but after
[00:52:52] South Carolina went into
[00:52:54] Lexington
[00:52:54] all of its last year
[00:52:57] that might be a blowout
[00:52:59] in prime time next week
[00:53:02] and then
[00:53:02] you know another interesting
[00:53:04] Big 12 matchup by UCF going
[00:53:07] to Fort Worth to play the Frogs
[00:53:09] that'll be interesting
[00:53:10] because I really want to see
[00:53:12] I haven't watched UCF at all
[00:53:14] but you know they've won
[00:53:17] and they haven't played anybody
[00:53:18] but they've been putting up points
[00:53:22] Gus Buses
[00:53:23] I guess New Hampshire 45
[00:53:25] I guess Sam Houston so
[00:53:27] man but I mean
[00:53:29] they go in
[00:53:31] we mentioned KJ Jefferson
[00:53:33] was a great get for that offense
[00:53:34] and they got
[00:53:37] uh
[00:53:41] KJ
[00:53:42] definitely we know Gus loves his
[00:53:45] mobile quarterbacks
[00:53:46] so that'll be interesting
[00:53:51] but yeah not the sexist lineup
[00:53:53] but a very interesting week three
[00:53:55] a lot of
[00:53:56] we'll learn a lot about a lot of themes
[00:53:59] for sure
[00:54:01] um yeah let's move on to the NFL
[00:54:03] before we go here
[00:54:05] uh first Sunday of action
[00:54:07] of course was today we also had games Thursday night
[00:54:09] Friday night
[00:54:11] already a game of the year candidate Thursday night
[00:54:13] Ravens at Chiefs
[00:54:15] is everything I think anyone hoped for
[00:54:18] you know the Ravens literally
[00:54:19] a toe
[00:54:21] short I guess
[00:54:22] Isaiah likely is literally
[00:54:24] just his big toe
[00:54:26] was out of bounds and
[00:54:27] we're gonna go for the win too
[00:54:30] they were going for two
[00:54:31] look at John
[00:54:32] I knew it when we got down
[00:54:35] in the red zone I was like okay so if we score here
[00:54:38] John's definitely going for two
[00:54:39] um it's a shame
[00:54:42] we didn't get to see that play
[00:54:43] yeah it's the first week one you know there's no shame
[00:54:46] losing between the champs
[00:54:47] underroading Kansas City
[00:54:48] yeah I mean
[00:54:50] uh Ronnie Stanley had some things
[00:54:52] to say about the rest of the game
[00:54:53] about how apparently illegal
[00:54:55] formations are gonna be
[00:54:57] focused this year and they
[00:55:00] thought he was lined up too far back on the line
[00:55:02] and then he was saying
[00:55:03] in some video evidence that seemed to corroborate
[00:55:06] that KC's tackles are
[00:55:08] lining up just as far back and they didn't get a single one of those calls so
[00:55:12] so
[00:55:12] uh that's something for you know
[00:55:14] the Chiefs get all the
[00:55:16] calls uh based
[00:55:17] on just to run it wild
[00:55:19] I know uh
[00:55:22] people were also pissed off about
[00:55:24] even though
[00:55:25] if you see the whole thing and you read
[00:55:27] you also call the time out but people were pissed
[00:55:30] off because they thought it'sagnola
[00:55:31] and called the time out there
[00:55:34] even though that worked out for the Ravens
[00:55:36] with them with their time out
[00:55:37] but and you know people were like how
[00:55:39] why is he here why do they not
[00:55:41] watch this time out that the DC can't call the time
[00:55:43] out
[00:55:44] you know people running wild with that but
[00:55:47] yeah you know when you went in two
[00:55:49] Super Bowls three out of five and stuff
[00:55:52] you have people see stuff another way to
[00:55:53] make it all the calls
[00:55:55] that seemed like at times but
[00:55:57] yeah I will say as a Ravens fan
[00:55:59] that line really concerns me because they were
[00:56:02] you know they kind of figured out second
[00:56:03] half they made a lot of adjustments and Lamar looked better
[00:56:05] but Lamar was running for his life
[00:56:07] he was
[00:56:08] he did not have a lot of time to throw things and set up routes
[00:56:11] they didn't really block well for Derek
[00:56:13] Henry outside of that first drive
[00:56:16] I thought he
[00:56:18] um
[00:56:20] I thought Lamar had to run too much
[00:56:22] and maybe that was just kind of hey it's a big game
[00:56:24] it's Kansas City do whatever you can
[00:56:26] but you don't want to see Lamar running
[00:56:28] 16 times every game you want
[00:56:30] you want Derek Henry to turn the rock
[00:56:32] yeah right the game plan
[00:56:34] look
[00:56:36] sadly look resemblance
[00:56:38] of the AFC title game I thought
[00:56:39] they forced things that they didn't necessarily have to force
[00:56:42] and you know I don't know
[00:56:44] but you know this
[00:56:46] week one
[00:56:46] I don't know how much you take from week one
[00:56:49] of course you know everybody's going to overreact
[00:56:51] as always so
[00:56:53] but for now unfortunately
[00:56:55] you know
[00:56:56] my home says
[00:57:00] Lamar's number and that's the thing
[00:57:01] he's not
[00:57:03] we've seen it with other quarterbacks
[00:57:05] for a while Josh
[00:57:06] you know Josh I don't want to get over
[00:57:08] flying away from my home
[00:57:10] yeah we saw it with Manning and Brady
[00:57:12] for ever Peyton going to beat him
[00:57:13] and you know it comes down to some coaching too
[00:57:16] you know Andy Reed's got John Harbaugh's number
[00:57:18] uh
[00:57:20] we'll see you know this is a
[00:57:21] I mean the Chiefs are
[00:57:23] I mean the Ravens are right there
[00:57:26] but I mean the Chiefs
[00:57:27] that's why they won back to back Super Bowls
[00:57:30] because
[00:57:32] that's exactly
[00:57:33] yeah it's you know
[00:57:34] and it's a team thing
[00:57:36] you mentioned it well it's top down coaching on down
[00:57:39] and you know Lamar played like an MVP
[00:57:41] he did everything he could
[00:57:43] you know Derek Henry had a touchdown
[00:57:45] you would like to see a little bit more of them
[00:57:47] but again the line is worrisome
[00:57:49] if you're a Ravens fan
[00:57:51] Isaiah likely came out of it
[00:57:53] looking like another star tied in for them
[00:57:55] again
[00:57:56] he kind of looked like he took Mark Andrews
[00:57:59] touches a little bit
[00:58:01] but yeah yeah so but
[00:58:02] that could be something if Monkin can work some more
[00:58:05] two tight insets or just a good rotation
[00:58:07] or line Isaiah I mean
[00:58:09] likely he's got some receiver type speed
[00:58:11] so he could be like talented guy
[00:58:12] yeah line him up on the outside
[00:58:14] you know you can get creative with those two on the field
[00:58:17] and Zay flowers looks every bit
[00:58:19] the number one receiver they hope he will
[00:58:21] we're shark Bateman makes
[00:58:22] a couple good catches in that game
[00:58:25] you know he had a big and a nice drive
[00:58:27] he had a huge catch
[00:58:29] yeah
[00:58:30] Lamar did you know miss a couple throws before that
[00:58:33] that last one
[00:58:35] everyone talks about the second down to Zay flowers
[00:58:37] in the back of the end zone
[00:58:38] I don't think that one is actually not
[00:58:41] I'm not that one's heartbreaking because
[00:58:43] you know he was so wide open but
[00:58:44] I don't think that was so much of bad throw is like
[00:58:46] he thought that Zay flowers was gonna sit down
[00:58:48] and Zay kept going and that's all that was
[00:58:50] cause you saw you could just tell how he threw it
[00:58:53] he didn't miss him that bad he just thought he would
[00:58:55] sit down that first down
[00:58:56] one to likely where it looked like likely hurt his shoulder
[00:58:59] oh man Lamar had him in the corner
[00:59:01] he just put a little too much on it
[00:59:03] and
[00:59:05] but yeah you know he played
[00:59:07] like an MVP
[00:59:09] defense held up pretty
[00:59:10] fairly well against
[00:59:13] Casey Casey my take away from them
[00:59:16] like we said week one
[00:59:17] you can only take so much but my take away from them is
[00:59:19] damn it they look dangerous again
[00:59:21] and I mean like
[00:59:23] speedy Xavier were
[00:59:25] very worthy on that offense is unfair
[00:59:29] like some like
[00:59:30] people been saying
[00:59:31] why would Buffalo
[00:59:34] trade with the chiefs
[00:59:36] to give them the opportunity
[00:59:38] to get Xavier worthy
[00:59:40] like what are you doing
[00:59:41] where she rice still looks like a stud
[00:59:43] you know we'll see whatever happens with him
[00:59:46] and I was just about to say that
[00:59:48] Hollywood Brown is still on the shelf for a couple weeks
[00:59:51] once they get him
[00:59:52] and then Pacheco
[00:59:53] with Kelsey
[00:59:55] yeah that means Kelsey doesn't have to take on the load
[00:59:58] that he
[00:59:59] normally would so he can stay fresher
[01:00:02] man that offense
[01:00:04] is scary looking and the defense is good
[01:00:06] man
[01:00:07] they look better against the run this year so
[01:00:10] man they could
[01:00:12] man I don't know
[01:00:14] you know we never seen a three people four
[01:00:16] in the NFL but man
[01:00:18] they're gonna
[01:00:20] they're gonna press hard
[01:00:22] I mean
[01:00:23] if they're gonna lose this can be
[01:00:24] you know AFC championship
[01:00:27] superbowl I mean it's not gonna be anything
[01:00:29] yeah no
[01:00:31] no I would not be surprised
[01:00:33] if we get another Baltimore KC game in the playoffs
[01:00:35] this year
[01:00:36] it was a weekend a good close game so Friday
[01:00:39] night in Brazil for some reason
[01:00:41] the Packers and Eagles played a good one
[01:00:43] uh
[01:00:44] Saquon Barkley looks like just
[01:00:47] a great pickup for the Eagles
[01:00:49] Jaylin Hertz
[01:00:50] kind of you know average game didn't look
[01:00:53] great
[01:00:54] couple picks couple touchdowns did some good
[01:00:57] things yeah did some good things did some
[01:00:59] bad things but Saquon Barkley looked
[01:01:01] every bit like
[01:01:03] you know a key cog and
[01:01:05] if you're a Giants fan how pissed are you about that
[01:01:07] I hate it right but
[01:01:10] I don't
[01:01:12] what's
[01:01:13] what's up with what's up with
[01:01:15] the division rivals or conference
[01:01:17] rivals trading with each other
[01:01:19] what is going on
[01:01:21] yeah no
[01:01:23] that should not ever happen
[01:01:25] we're even like you know if you let your guy
[01:01:27] leave
[01:01:28] in free agency you know try to get on good
[01:01:31] terms with them so you can at least have like an agreement
[01:01:33] be like hey man do us a favor don't
[01:01:35] go anywhere in the division
[01:01:37] because if Saquon's came out and said
[01:01:39] the reason he signed with the Eagles is basically
[01:01:41] kind of despite the Giants because
[01:01:43] he didn't like how they handled the situation right so
[01:01:45] that's yeah so that's
[01:01:47] that's not good yeah and then
[01:01:49] you know
[01:01:50] it's also you know pisses off
[01:01:52] you know your the other teams you
[01:01:55] your Cowboys saying it pisses you off that he didn't
[01:01:57] leave the division either
[01:01:58] I mean you don't want to see that guy saying your division
[01:02:01] seeing him two times a year on a
[01:02:03] better team now
[01:02:05] yeah and speaking of your Cowboys
[01:02:07] good start for them
[01:02:09] Dax and CD lamb both get paid
[01:02:11] Dax literally got paid this morning
[01:02:13] yeah
[01:02:14] an hour before the game
[01:02:17] yeah and then they went to Cleveland
[01:02:19] and stomped the Browns
[01:02:21] yeah they did
[01:02:22] the defense looked nasty
[01:02:24] the defense looked nasty
[01:02:26] you know I like
[01:02:28] I like the new defensive coordinator
[01:02:31] I really
[01:02:31] you know
[01:02:33] I think he
[01:02:35] is going to make our defense better than what it
[01:02:38] has been I mean it's been good
[01:02:40] but I think he
[01:02:41] is going to put players in better spots
[01:02:44] um
[01:02:46] and we're going to be better
[01:02:48] stop and run now
[01:02:50] we'll say week one I mean Cleveland
[01:02:52] was missing both their tackles starting
[01:02:53] tackles so I mean that changes a little bit
[01:02:56] but man we got after
[01:02:58] them you know I
[01:02:59] I wouldn't very
[01:03:00] you know after you know
[01:03:04] the column I picked that Cleveland
[01:03:06] went to win
[01:03:07] just because I didn't know how
[01:03:09] with the quarterback
[01:03:11] with the contract situations
[01:03:12] you know how that affects folks
[01:03:14] but you know that all got sorted out last
[01:03:17] second so I mean everybody
[01:03:18] everyone was on the same page
[01:03:20] offense I thought with
[01:03:22] the defense was electric
[01:03:24] got the big punt return
[01:03:27] but man
[01:03:29] we got it
[01:03:30] our kicker is a beast
[01:03:33] Aubrey is a
[01:03:34] beast
[01:03:36] he even hit the 66
[01:03:38] they got the penalty
[01:03:39] I was so mad they didn't let him go for 71
[01:03:43] just let him try
[01:03:44] it was the end of the half
[01:03:47] just let him try
[01:03:48] he might have hit it
[01:03:49] he had the win that his backman
[01:03:52] yeah I was mad they pulled him off the field
[01:03:54] they thought too much about it
[01:03:56] yeah just let him go
[01:03:59] top down as good special teams
[01:04:01] you know Turban the big punt return
[01:04:03] touchdown
[01:04:03] your defense Trayvon Diggs looked
[01:04:07] like he is 100% back already
[01:04:09] he was flying man
[01:04:10] they look good
[01:04:12] you know I thought Mike was a good
[01:04:15] spots
[01:04:16] I will say
[01:04:18] just as a fan
[01:04:19] I can't stand Tom Brady's voice
[01:04:24] he I wasn't impressed
[01:04:26] by his first
[01:04:27] he didn't get excited for much
[01:04:30] he might have evolved
[01:04:31] he may have evolved
[01:04:34] obviously he has a mind
[01:04:36] about say
[01:04:39] game 1
[01:04:40] meh meh
[01:04:41] I will say that
[01:04:42] his voice you know
[01:04:45] at short term you don't think about it
[01:04:48] but for 3 hours
[01:04:49] man his voice is really getting to me
[01:04:53] I really like
[01:04:56] Greg Olson
[01:04:57] there I met the one
[01:04:59] and he got bummed down to the 2-spot
[01:05:01] but I thought he was doing a hell of a job
[01:05:03] you know I was kind of messed up
[01:05:04] I know Tom Brady is a superstar
[01:05:08] but I'm sure he'll get better
[01:05:10] but you know he doesn't have
[01:05:12] the likeability
[01:05:13] even like Tony Romo had right out the gate
[01:05:17] yeah
[01:05:17] or Troy
[01:05:18] other quarterbacks
[01:05:20] you know kind
[01:05:23] I don't know if he has a personality for it
[01:05:27] about say he's a little too robotic
[01:05:30] but like you said it's young
[01:05:32] and he's the type of guy that is going to work hard at it
[01:05:35] yeah he's going to work hard at it
[01:05:37] maybe no they know that
[01:05:38] like you said his knowledge alone
[01:05:41] it's vast
[01:05:42] yeah it's almost like it's one of those
[01:05:44] short things like Nick Saban on
[01:05:47] game day and stuff
[01:05:49] he's just so smart
[01:05:50] that if he just needs to let go
[01:05:53] like Saban does
[01:05:54] enjoy retirement yeah have fun with it
[01:05:56] yeah
[01:05:58] elsewhere that you know like I said is just a great
[01:06:00] Sunday football
[01:06:02] a lot of entertaining games
[01:06:04] yeah a lot of entertaining
[01:06:05] we're watching the end of one right now as we record
[01:06:07] it's the end of the Sunday night game
[01:06:09] the Rams are up
[01:06:11] yeah with too little over two minutes left
[01:06:13] in Detroit as Detroit gets the ball
[01:06:15] trying to drive for the tire win
[01:06:19] let's see
[01:06:20] elsewhere in the AOC north
[01:06:21] a big story uh Cincinnati
[01:06:23] beat by the patriots
[01:06:26] wow
[01:06:27] destroying survivor
[01:06:29] or eliminator pools everywhere
[01:06:31] including mine yeah my
[01:06:33] Cincinnati was my pick this week
[01:06:35] see I had a pay I went with
[01:06:37] the most short thing I went with the Saints
[01:06:39] hmm yeah
[01:06:41] I thought about it but I was you know
[01:06:43] I was like
[01:06:46] I couldn't trust
[01:06:47] I couldn't trust the Saints as much
[01:06:50] yeah
[01:06:50] I was like it would be a very Saints thing
[01:06:53] to fuck around and lose but yeah they
[01:06:55] dominated
[01:06:58] Panther was a terrible
[01:06:59] it's a bad roster overall
[01:07:02] um poor poor Bryce has
[01:07:04] no help there
[01:07:05] and man you knew it was gonna be a long day when you threw a pick on his first
[01:07:08] pass at the game I was like oh
[01:07:09] yeah it's gonna be a long
[01:07:11] day for Caroline
[01:07:13] long day long season because you know people are gonna
[01:07:16] they're gonna those bust
[01:07:17] conversations are gonna start right up again
[01:07:19] they've already started
[01:07:20] yeah people are like oh they
[01:07:24] there's nothing in Carolina
[01:07:25] they're a horrible team I mean if you're gonna do
[01:07:28] your uh
[01:07:29] eliminator challenge uh for you though
[01:07:31] uh pick his pick
[01:07:33] against him as many times as possible
[01:07:35] uh you know you can only do the division
[01:07:38] opponents once but I would
[01:07:39] say you have a good chance
[01:07:41] of having a hell of a run going against
[01:07:44] whoever is playing the Panthers
[01:07:45] yeah that's that's my
[01:07:49] strategy for
[01:07:50] fantasy football this year I'm just gonna stream
[01:07:52] whatever defense is playing the Panthers as much
[01:07:54] as I can oh yeah
[01:07:56] cause they're bad I had the same
[01:07:58] defense today so yeah
[01:07:59] they put up numbers
[01:08:01] um but you know
[01:08:03] um but you know yeah
[01:08:05] I mean other great games Miami Jacksonville
[01:08:08] I mean that was
[01:08:09] great ending you know we
[01:08:11] are crazy going into that game
[01:08:13] you know Tyree Kill getting arrested
[01:08:15] he's pulling into the
[01:08:18] spading my don't know the full
[01:08:20] story per se but
[01:08:21] his agent drew Rosenhaus out there
[01:08:24] wasn't a car with him he
[01:08:25] he rode to the game with him like that's crazy
[01:08:29] yeah
[01:08:29] yeah a lot of good games uh
[01:08:31] Bill's Cardinals was a good comeback
[01:08:33] uh well you know
[01:08:35] Houston Indianapolis ended up being a good
[01:08:38] game um that was a Titans
[01:08:39] and Bears ended up being a fun one to watch
[01:08:42] um man
[01:08:43] Caleb Williams debut he looked man
[01:08:45] but the Bears defense and special teams
[01:08:47] yeah it came through
[01:08:49] but yeah boy it was
[01:08:50] Tennessee was up what 17 to nothing at some point right
[01:08:54] yeah 17
[01:08:55] nothing and the Bears were at 24 straight including that
[01:08:59] block punt for a touchdown
[01:09:01] um scored by
[01:09:02] Mr. Simone Biles
[01:09:04] um
[01:09:05] the pick six off that terrible
[01:09:07] throw by Levis
[01:09:08] uh
[01:09:10] yeah but that was a bad
[01:09:12] bad since I mean
[01:09:14] for Caleb Williams though
[01:09:16] but as much as on paper
[01:09:19] you know even though he's a rookie quarterback
[01:09:21] you know you look at that roster and man
[01:09:23] the Bears have quite a few offensive
[01:09:24] talent he had no scores on the
[01:09:27] offensive side
[01:09:29] he was 14
[01:09:31] to 29 93 yards
[01:09:33] at least he had no
[01:09:35] picks but not a very
[01:09:37] impressive
[01:09:37] but yeah
[01:09:39] they got the win
[01:09:41] got the win that's most important
[01:09:43] elsewhere another team that didn't score
[01:09:46] touchdown but one uh Steelers
[01:09:48] uh six field goals
[01:09:50] the Falcons um
[01:09:52] you know that doesn't say much
[01:09:55] for this supposedly you know
[01:09:56] explosive
[01:09:58] Falcon offense and granted you know
[01:10:00] Pittsburgh might have the best defense in the league but
[01:10:03] that was
[01:10:04] uh you can't
[01:10:07] if you hold a team without
[01:10:08] a touchdown you gotta beat them plain and simple
[01:10:10] yeah there's
[01:10:12] no reason an FL team should ever lose to a
[01:10:15] team whether they don't score a touchdown
[01:10:17] but uh
[01:10:18] you know these culpits did get a
[01:10:20] touchdown there so they've locked them a little bit
[01:10:24] yeah
[01:10:24] but yeah I mean overall you know
[01:10:26] as many weapons
[01:10:28] as there is in Atlanta right now
[01:10:31] there's no
[01:10:31] I don't care how good the defense is
[01:10:34] and no points should the Falcons
[01:10:36] only have 10 points
[01:10:37] on it on a game
[01:10:39] I'm sorry just way too much talent there
[01:10:42] um
[01:10:43] no yeah that's the reason you paid all that money
[01:10:46] to Kirk Cousins to come in and get those
[01:10:47] deep balls to Drake London to
[01:10:49] yeah and he looked
[01:10:52] I mean of course he's coming
[01:10:53] off for the injury and you know
[01:10:55] he didn't play much in the
[01:10:57] man and I've seen some former
[01:10:59] players online talking about how that
[01:11:01] that's what they were looking at looks like he doesn't
[01:11:03] quite have that strength back
[01:11:05] in his foot yeah his Achilles
[01:11:08] so we'll see if that
[01:11:09] 16-26, 155
[01:11:11] 2 picks, 1 TD
[01:11:14] not what you're
[01:11:15] looking for
[01:11:17] um you know Justin Fields got the start
[01:11:19] I mean I mean
[01:11:21] there wasn't anything sexy but um
[01:11:23] hey still a start up 1 and 0
[01:11:25] so go do those to him
[01:11:30] yeah he can work without scoring
[01:11:32] a touchdown hey whatever
[01:11:33] works right
[01:11:35] yeah exactly um
[01:11:38] you know speaking about
[01:11:39] you know something we're not getting
[01:11:41] back to that Cincinnati game
[01:11:43] since we didn't get a preview and the one
[01:11:45] thing I stayed away from since he
[01:11:47] players in fantasy drafts
[01:11:49] and I'm just kind of wary
[01:11:51] of them in the long
[01:11:53] call because I think there's a little
[01:11:55] something underlined with Joe Burroughs
[01:11:57] wrist injury
[01:11:59] um and I think it's just
[01:12:01] something to watch
[01:12:03] in Cincinnati this year I think
[01:12:05] hopefully it's not a career threatening
[01:12:07] type thing where it derails
[01:12:09] you know what could be a great career
[01:12:11] but I think there's
[01:12:13] some more tour yeah there's under the
[01:12:15] surface you know things simmering
[01:12:17] in that
[01:12:19] uh Cincinnati
[01:12:20] he has not looked the same since
[01:12:23] that injury no
[01:12:25] um Jamar chase has been
[01:12:27] very unhappy you know the people
[01:12:29] didn't even know Jamar was going to play today
[01:12:31] until he said he was going to play like
[01:12:33] and it's not even that
[01:12:34] it's not even that he uh
[01:12:37] you know coming off of not playing
[01:12:39] off the season
[01:12:40] with his choice and he's basically saying hey I want
[01:12:43] to get paid oh right
[01:12:45] like that's
[01:12:47] man I don't know
[01:12:49] you know T Higgins is not healthy
[01:12:52] um so
[01:12:53] yeah might be a long
[01:12:55] long year in um
[01:12:56] depending on what they do going forward a long year
[01:13:00] and
[01:13:01] Cincinnati in
[01:13:02] horrible way to start the year
[01:13:05] Jamar's arguing with people that was going to be the worst team
[01:13:08] really yeah
[01:13:09] it could be I mean they still could be
[01:13:11] but that's a horrible way to start
[01:13:12] Cincinnati
[01:13:14] and with many people that they might have a good
[01:13:16] might have a run this year
[01:13:19] yeah uh
[01:13:20] and like you said it's just not good
[01:13:22] it's something worrisome to look you know
[01:13:24] again it's week one so you know
[01:13:26] things change but it's
[01:13:28] just something to pay attention to you know
[01:13:30] it's one of those things where you look at and you go okay
[01:13:32] like let me make a note about this
[01:13:36] um and then of course tomorrow night Monday night
[01:13:38] uh
[01:13:39] San Francisco and the Jets play
[01:13:42] we'll see Aaron Rodgers is back uh
[01:13:44] hopefully last more than one play
[01:13:46] yeah exactly um
[01:13:48] was that was that Monday night football last year as well
[01:13:51] I think it was yeah I think
[01:13:52] it was Monday Monday
[01:13:54] it was prime time and had one play
[01:13:56] and that was it
[01:13:58] four plays in yeah four plays into his
[01:14:02] all the hype
[01:14:04] all the hype you know the Jets
[01:14:06] a talented roster there but we'll see
[01:14:08] you know there's Robert
[01:14:10] solid really the guy they need leading them
[01:14:12] um in there
[01:14:13] I'm not sold on them
[01:14:15] just right you know Rodgers
[01:14:17] that's a tough injury we mentioned Kirk Cousins
[01:14:19] coming back from same injury uh we'll see
[01:14:21] how Rodgers is older way
[01:14:23] older yeah very much older
[01:14:25] but he does have
[01:14:27] you know
[01:14:29] Breece Hall Garrett Wilson you know he's got
[01:14:31] weapons around him too there's a lot of talent
[01:14:33] a lot of talent and if there's anybody
[01:14:35] that's gonna come back I mean you
[01:14:37] I mean he's an older guy but he worked hard
[01:14:39] as hell to get back from that Achilles
[01:14:41] I mean he was doing a lot of
[01:14:43] stuff way ahead of time so that'll be
[01:14:46] interesting but you know going up
[01:14:48] against that uh Forty-One-Hour
[01:14:49] defense is always a tough task
[01:14:51] um you know they got all their contract
[01:14:53] situations figured out without you
[01:14:55] Kentron Williams so you know
[01:14:58] they're back to being
[01:14:59] a team that's uh
[01:15:02] you know they're
[01:15:04] of course another
[01:15:05] NFC favorite so that'll be
[01:15:08] an interesting game tomorrow night
[01:15:09] um of course we have this um
[01:15:13] we have 23 seconds
[01:15:15] uh
[01:15:16] yeah this Sunday night games
[01:15:18] exciting uh Detroit's down here
[01:15:21] facing the third
[01:15:22] and five coming up in their what
[01:15:24] in the red zone or at least right on the cusp of it
[01:15:26] right on the cusp of where they need to be
[01:15:28] that we just kick the field go
[01:15:29] I thought Jameson should actually maybe cut
[01:15:32] up field on that last play
[01:15:33] yeah but he's looking for tonight
[01:15:36] he's looking he has like
[01:15:37] um yeah he's we talked about him
[01:15:40] in the past if he
[01:15:42] gets back to that Jameson Williams from Alabama
[01:15:44] uh that is a hell of a weapon
[01:15:46] to add to that Detroit
[01:15:47] you know Detroit's a fun team
[01:15:50] you know you gotta like their coach
[01:15:52] and his personality
[01:15:53] um and then you know they're
[01:15:55] quite a few Alabama guys so I mean
[01:15:58] they're a team I
[01:15:59] kind of kind of enjoy watching
[01:16:02] just because yeah classic
[01:16:03] classic uniforms great color combination
[01:16:06] uh we're there to seven
[01:16:09] 15 yard line right now
[01:16:11] 20 seconds
[01:16:15] oh
[01:16:16] bad throw there
[01:16:17] not sure Gibbs could have really done anything
[01:16:19] with that but here we go
[01:16:21] with the kick looks like
[01:16:23] they'll kick it and then the Rams will have around
[01:16:25] you know 15 seconds or so to
[01:16:29] see if they
[01:16:29] do anything more all the time
[01:16:32] what do you think about that uh
[01:16:33] I know everybody's been talking about it
[01:16:36] but yeah I didn't watch a lot of pre-season
[01:16:38] honestly but you know just so
[01:16:39] we're watching the on the kickoff
[01:16:41] the new kicks it's moving to
[01:16:44] so we're just seeing it's weird
[01:16:46] it's different uh statistically it seems
[01:16:48] that it's creating more returns
[01:16:50] this year and
[01:16:52] better starting field position
[01:16:54] so I guess that's what they were going for
[01:16:55] um yeah but as
[01:16:58] what is it if they kick it out the back of
[01:17:00] the end zone they automatically started at the 30
[01:17:02] now or I had something weird
[01:17:03] yeah like it's yeah and
[01:17:05] that has to land in the
[01:17:08] you have to catch it
[01:17:09] if it's in that landing zone or I don't know
[01:17:11] it's some weird but just so much to it
[01:17:13] to I guess make things
[01:17:15] more fun for teams
[01:17:20] uh
[01:17:21] but yeah let's see uh that's probably good
[01:17:23] for the NFL talk for the week um
[01:17:25] of course we mentioned Monday night
[01:17:29] uh let's see
[01:17:32] is anything going on next week for the NFL
[01:17:33] well I would say probably
[01:17:36] I guess the Jordan love
[01:17:37] injury that's that's a tough yeah that's
[01:17:39] I meant to get to that yeah got her
[01:17:42] to last play
[01:17:43] pretty much of the game there
[01:17:45] I mean that's tough luckily it doesn't
[01:17:48] seem to be a at first I thought
[01:17:49] I did was I thought it was the key leaves or something
[01:17:51] yeah the way he grabbed it looked
[01:17:54] like he was a seasoned or it just looks
[01:17:56] like he'll be out about four weeks
[01:17:58] is what they said maybe yeah
[01:17:59] you hate to see anybody get injured but
[01:18:02] I guess if there's gonna be injury it's not
[01:18:04] nearly as bad as what we thought
[01:18:06] but you know what's the name came into
[01:18:07] a I don't know
[01:18:09] where it came into a great situation from Malik Willis
[01:18:12] uh you know gets a couple weeks
[01:18:14] to lead their back up
[01:18:16] okay yeah that's they signed him
[01:18:18] because they didn't like what they got
[01:18:19] out the preseason with um
[01:18:21] the guy from Penn State and uh
[01:18:23] forget who the other guy was um
[01:18:25] they didn't like
[01:18:27] either one of those got Malik Willis
[01:18:29] um you know he gets a couple weeks
[01:18:31] in long term of course he's not gonna be
[01:18:33] the guy in uh Green Bay
[01:18:35] but you know I'm sure he would like another
[01:18:37] opportunity as a one somewhere
[01:18:39] because I just didn't
[01:18:41] think that it was a
[01:18:43] weird pick for the times to take him
[01:18:45] and then they moved way
[01:18:47] they moved away from him so fast
[01:18:49] like they there was no
[01:18:51] patience and they just oh well we're
[01:18:53] on to Will Levis now it's like but you just
[01:18:55] dropped him a leak and really didn't have anything
[01:18:57] to round them and gave him nothing
[01:18:59] and I don't know that was
[01:19:01] weird at that today well
[01:19:03] didn't even really give him a chance to even see what he
[01:19:05] was made of but you know
[01:19:07] no and then there's plenty of
[01:19:09] weapons around him
[01:19:11] to succeed in that
[01:19:13] uh offense there
[01:19:15] Josh Jacobs started
[01:19:17] slow but had a great second half he looks like
[01:19:19] he is
[01:19:20] they have a good receiving
[01:19:22] young receiving corps there in Green Bay so
[01:19:25] you know hopefully Malik
[01:19:27] you know has a couple good weeks
[01:19:28] and eventually gets
[01:19:30] another opportunity as a starting quarterback
[01:19:33] is that I had there
[01:19:34] I thought he got the quite this
[01:19:37] short end of the stick in Tennessee
[01:19:39] no for sure he didn't always play the big
[01:19:41] it was a weird situation to go into
[01:19:43] anyway because it wasn't an offense
[01:19:45] made for him
[01:19:46] no at all
[01:19:48] we did mention too we forgot to mention all our great
[01:19:51] games was a great late window game
[01:19:52] Seattle and Denver played a pretty good one
[01:19:55] was
[01:19:59] Kenneth Walker had himself a game
[01:20:01] as a beast
[01:20:02] when he's healthy
[01:20:04] that's his biggest thing, Kenny stay healthy
[01:20:06] but when he's healthy
[01:20:08] he is a hell of a runner back
[01:20:10] yeah
[01:20:12] elsewhere in the world of sports
[01:20:14] or would you have something else in the NFL
[01:20:16] no I'm just gonna say about the Broncos
[01:20:18] I mean they're
[01:20:19] I don't know how many games are gonna win
[01:20:21] but they're not gonna be an easy out
[01:20:25] no
[01:20:25] yeah
[01:20:25] and bow nicks is gonna be bow nicks he's gonna run around
[01:20:29] he's gonna make shit happen he's gonna
[01:20:30] have good bow and bad bow but if he can play
[01:20:34] if he can play more like organ bow
[01:20:36] then that's
[01:20:37] that's as much as you can ask for
[01:20:40] exactly
[01:20:42] now I should say elsewhere in the world of sports
[01:20:44] today
[01:20:45] is the last ever
[01:20:47] game for Alex Morgan
[01:20:50] definitely
[01:20:51] in the discussion for best American soccer
[01:20:54] player of all time man and woman
[01:20:55] yeah no doubt
[01:20:57] pretty strong case for being number one
[01:20:59] most of the one
[01:21:01] yeah
[01:21:03] Josh Allen did hurt his hand today
[01:21:06] so they're gonna see
[01:21:08] about that
[01:21:10] what happens
[01:21:11] Shohei Otani just keeps hitting
[01:21:13] home runs
[01:21:14] he's looking to be a 50-50 club member
[01:21:20] that's the guy with the twin rotator
[01:21:21] yeah
[01:21:22] that's insane
[01:21:26] WNBA season
[01:21:28] is getting toward it's stretch run
[01:21:29] and looking good unfortunately Angel Rees
[01:21:32] out for the season
[01:21:34] I don't think they're
[01:21:37] making the playoffs
[01:21:39] but she said no
[01:21:42] nearly
[01:21:43] we're in a contention but of course
[01:21:45] talking WNBM
[01:21:48] Caitlin Clark has
[01:21:50] really stepped in
[01:21:52] since
[01:21:54] coming back from the Olympics
[01:21:56] she's gone to a different level
[01:21:58] she's been ridiculous
[01:21:59] as of late
[01:22:00] they have Indiana end up playoff hunt right now
[01:22:04] like it's
[01:22:05] complete turnaround like
[01:22:08] she's living up to the hype so far
[01:22:12] whatever
[01:22:12] he's living up to it
[01:22:14] and of course now we're in the last
[01:22:18] month
[01:22:19] of
[01:22:19] Major League Baseball play
[01:22:22] about 20 or so games left for everybody
[01:22:26] some tight races
[01:22:27] your yanks in our tight one for the AL East
[01:22:29] yeah
[01:22:31] we know nobody wants to win the AL East
[01:22:34] like every
[01:22:35] we're going to run, the worlds are going to run
[01:22:37] and then we'll lose
[01:22:39] both lose some dumb games
[01:22:41] it's like nobody wants these
[01:22:43] for real
[01:22:43] I know
[01:22:44] and it's looking
[01:22:45] the ALs got
[01:22:47] three division races
[01:22:49] Cleveland is up 2.5 on KC
[01:22:51] Houston is up 4.5
[01:22:54] Seattle and the West
[01:22:55] all those divisions are up for grabs
[01:22:59] Nationally less so
[01:23:00] Philly has a 7 game lead
[01:23:02] Milwaukee has a 9 game lead
[01:23:05] Dodgers have a 6 game lead
[01:23:08] Wild Codrey
[01:23:09] yeah
[01:23:11] the wild
[01:23:13] wildcard races
[01:23:14] right there
[01:23:15] the met, sprays, D-backs and Padres
[01:23:18] all within two games of each other
[01:23:21] that's
[01:23:22] yeah
[01:23:24] that's just great
[01:23:25] you get into the wildcard
[01:23:27] that's the beauty of the end of the regular
[01:23:30] that's probably the best part
[01:23:31] of the regular season of the baseball
[01:23:33] just that fast push for those wildcards
[01:23:36] you get some epic games
[01:23:38] and of course they have the schedule set
[01:23:40] so it always
[01:23:41] works that you
[01:23:42] the teams seem to go up against each other
[01:23:45] late in the season so
[01:23:48] more of that
[01:23:50] for sure play the way in
[01:23:53] yeah but
[01:23:54] I think it does it for everything I have
[01:23:57] do you have anything else in the sports world
[01:24:01] I think we have a lot to talk about
[01:24:03] but I think we covered most
[01:24:05] most everything
[01:24:06] right there
[01:24:07] yeah so we'll be back next week
[01:24:09] for
[01:24:11] Alabama and Wisconsin
[01:24:12] we'll talk week 2 in the NFL
[01:24:16] any big developments
[01:24:17] elsewhere in sports
[01:24:18] so Greg what has been done up real good
[01:24:22] for you lately
[01:24:24] I guess
[01:24:25] just keeping it in sports related
[01:24:27] just another
[01:24:29] just to have the full NFL slate
[01:24:31] another full Cod football weekend
[01:24:35] couldn't ask for
[01:24:36] in a sports plan you can't ask for too much
[01:24:38] too much more than that
[01:24:40] I mean it's a great
[01:24:42] I'm not always the biggest
[01:24:44] opening part of the NFL season
[01:24:46] just because of so many weeks so what does week 1
[01:24:48] really mean
[01:24:49] but for what it was worth it was a
[01:24:52] entertaining week
[01:24:53] so I'm just a great football weekend
[01:24:57] can't ask for more
[01:24:58] how about you
[01:25:00] I'll echo that right there it's football season
[01:25:02] it's been great
[01:25:04] you know last Saturday

[01:27:15] of course you can see us
[01:27:16] uh doing our weekly picks this year
[01:27:19] I believe it was a rough weekend for everyone
[01:27:21] um
[01:27:23] I don't know if I don't even know who
[01:27:25] you had
[01:27:26] you picked against your cowboys today didn't you yeah
[01:27:28] I did that didn't work out
[01:27:30] maybe I did maybe it helped them
[01:27:32] I'm sure that they were
[01:27:34] waiting to see what I'd say and
[01:27:37] wanted to prove me otherwise
[01:27:38] I'm sure that was hiring a list of parties
[01:27:41] um but uh
[01:27:43] bulletin board material you knew what you were doing
[01:27:45] yeah exactly
[01:27:47] um but I think the other thing I got right was uh
[01:27:50] Michigan
[01:27:51] the Texas Michigan game because I don't think I got right
[01:27:54] all weekend
[01:27:54] no because we both had
[01:27:57] the over in that Nebraska Colorado
[01:27:59] game we talked about
[01:28:00] I thought 56 and a half was
[01:28:03] very doable and you know
[01:28:05] I thought that could be yeah first half cover almost
[01:28:08] uh yeah
[01:28:09] but uh yeah it was uh
[01:28:11] rough weekend there but yeah like I said
