Can Miami upset Buffalo? Previewing Iowa/Rutgers, the Chicken Coop Contest, Lee Sterling's Weekly Picks & Bill Bender on College Football · The Lunch Rush with Trent Condon

• 0:12
  Hi, good afternoon, Welcome to Miller and Condon.
• 0:16
  Happy NHL training camp opening day to all of those who
• 0:19
  celebrate what? Yes, it is time to get back on
• 0:23
  the ice. Trent Condon to lace them up.
• 0:25
  Let's go Miller and Condon with you for the next couple of hours
• 0:28
  talking sports but not hockey. I wouldn't do that to you on
• 0:31
  September the 18th. There'll be plenty of time for
• 0:34
  that in April, May and June. Coming up on our program, we
• 0:38
  will start with Lee Sterling. He is a handy capper when it
• 0:42
  comes to College in the NFL. For paramountsports.com, the
• 0:46
  company that he owns, Lee will give us a handful of games, how
• 0:50
  he sees them, and then his game of the week.
• 0:53
  And if you're so inclined, you can reach out For more
• 0:55
  information through the number he will provide for you or
• 0:59
  paramountsports.com. Certainly don't have to,
• 1:02
  obviously, but Lee will join us coming up here at 12:30.
• 1:06
  Then Bill Bender on the slate of college football games this
• 1:09
  week. A decent slate, not as good as
• 1:10
  next week, but a decent slate nonetheless.
• 1:14
  In our number 2, we're going to take a look at two of our
• 1:17
  regional NFL teams, the Green Bay Packers with Dave Sinican
• 1:21
  from KFAN up in the Twin Cities and zonecoverage.com.
• 1:26
  Dave hosts Packer Preview every Sunday morning year #30 of that
• 1:30
  program upon the Vikings flagship.
• 1:33
  And then we will talk to Dane Moussutani, who is the beat
• 1:37
  writer, one of the beat writers for the Minnesota Vikings, Saint
• 1:39
  Paul Pioneer Press, twincities.com for Dane.
• 1:42
  And then our regular 1:30 Thursday guest Stephen M Sipple
• 1:46
  from Husker Illustrated. Finally, the Huskers are going
• 1:49
  to dip their toe in the deeper college football waters and they
• 1:53
  will play Michigan. 2:30 That's ABC.
• 1:57
  And oh, by the way, if you can't be in front of your television
• 2:02
  and with the Hawks playing on Friday night, you're just
• 2:05
  driving around. Want to hear some college
• 2:06
  football on the radio? Westwood one has Michigan and
• 2:09
  Nebraska. Therefore, KXNO, the flagship of
• 2:13
  the Iowa Sports Radio Network, will carry that one getting
• 2:16
  underway at 2:30. So a decent slate of games
• 2:19
  college football wise, not the shiniest, maybe in the NFL.
• 2:23
  Monday night, I guess, would probably be the best game of the
• 2:26
  weekend with the Lions going to Baltimore potentially.
• 2:30
  Never know, we could see this game again the second Sunday in
• 2:33
  is it the second Sunday this year or the first whatever,
• 2:36
  early February? I'm not sure how the calendar
• 2:39
  falls this year, but we certainly could see that game
• 2:41
  again. There's a couple of other ones.
• 2:43
  Denver and the Chargers has got a pretty some cachet to it.
• 2:46
  Obviously the Rams and the Eagles.
• 2:48
  We saw this game last year in the playoffs and the Ram game
• 2:51
  gave the what soon to be known the world champion Philadelphia
• 2:55
  Eagles. I thought their best test.
• 2:56
  I'm not alone there. So couple of good games this
• 2:59
  weekend. Trent, How?
• 3:00
  Are you? I'm doing well starting Tuesday,
• 3:02
  Zero in on a lot of these games. Big 10 kind of takes center
• 3:05
  stage after the SEC had it a week ago.
• 3:07
  Big. Ten of the big twelves, a couple
• 3:09
  of big. 12 Big 12 is important with Utah and Texas Tech, 2
• 3:12
  teams we're trying to learn about.
• 3:13
  But I think a lot of people like Illinois, Indiana, no, this is
• 3:16
  not basketball. This is a football game.
• 3:19
  But it's big. This is.
• 3:20
  Absolutely monstrous. Nebraska, Michigan, I think
• 3:24
  falls right in that line. You know that group of four
• 3:26
  teams, All of them overall feel pretty good, right about.
• 3:30
  I'll give Arizona State Baylor a little love because potentially
• 3:33
  that could come into play late in the year and.
• 3:35
  Arizona State with that loss to Mississippi State, kind of what
• 3:38
  that does for the Big 12 as a whole, if they're going to be up
• 3:40
  there in contention and some ammunition for the Big 12 haters
• 3:43
  if it plays out in that fashion. So, yeah, big weekend.
• 3:47
  Yeah, you don't have those top flight games, but a lot of good
• 3:49
  games. And next week.
• 3:50
  Sometimes these are the weeks, though, that turned out to be
• 3:52
  even better. I couldn't agree with you more
• 3:54
  and it's going to turn out very well regardless for the good or
• 3:56
  not, because Iowa plays on Friday, Iowa State gets the
• 3:59
  weekend off. So go where you want and turn
• 4:01
  whatever channel you want on and don't have to feel guilty about
• 4:05
  missing a play or two with one of the needle movers, which in
• 4:07
  this business you really can't. Anyways, we'll get back to
• 4:10
  football in just a second. Just baseball from yesterday.
• 4:14
  Any takeaways from what you saw on the diamond yesterday?
• 4:18
  Cubs clinched. Cubs clinched.
• 4:21
  I mean, I don't know those things when it's this much left
• 4:24
  in the season, it's just, yeah, I don't know.
• 4:27
  I don't get any. Climactic.
• 4:28
  It's yeah, like a Saturday or Sunday, final day of the season.
• 4:31
  Right. I I just 10 days, you know, 10
• 4:34
  games is the magic number. I'm like, who cares?
• 4:36
  They're getting in. Like, I don't know, for whatever
• 4:38
  reason, that's never been anything that, yeah.
• 4:40
  Scoreboard watching when you're when it's over this early.
• 4:43
  Yeah, it's not. You know, it doesn't give you
• 4:45
  the little cache that it once did.
• 4:48
  I'm with you, there's some good games yesterday.
• 4:50
  Was watching a little bit of the Mets game.
• 4:52
  I was. I watched all of it.
• 4:53
  Hanging out with a buddy last night who was a Mets fan and.
• 4:56
  Did you have the Mets broadcast on?
• 4:58
  Well, we're at the casino. Oh yeah.
• 5:00
  Which one? Well, Prairie metals were you
• 5:02
  out there? Yes, Yeah, at the craps table
• 5:04
  and watch a little Mets Padres last night.
• 5:06
  How was the crowded PRM? The craps tables full, was it
• 5:10
  really? What time were you there?
• 5:12
  I got there like at 8, 8 to 10. Yeah.
• 5:15
  And they're handing out money last night, so that was nice of
• 5:17
  them. Good for that.
• 5:18
  Yes. The dice got a little hot, so
• 5:19
  that was a good evening. But yeah, I wasn't watching the
• 5:21
  Mets as he had a bet on that one.
• 5:23
  So we're keeping an eye on that and a bunch of other games, too.
• 5:25
  WNBA had that. I'll watch it a little bit of
• 5:27
  that. But back to the Mets that lead.
• 5:32
  I know, I know they had a chance to put some distance.
• 5:35
  It's not going to be the Diamondbacks strength.
• 5:37
  Their schedule is just too daunting.
• 5:39
  It's the the finish that they'll have.
• 5:41
  They just got through with three against the Giants.
• 5:43
  And I think after I think the water actually gets deeper for
• 5:47
  their So they've got 3 versus the Phillies at home, 3 versus
• 5:50
  the Dodgers, and then they go to San Diego.
• 5:53
  That's the nine final games for the Diamondbacks.
• 5:56
  They're not, they're not winning.
• 5:57
  Seven of those get 9 games. What do the Reds have left?
• 6:03
  I got it here, actually. Well, it starts today against
• 6:05
  the Cubs, yeah, then the Pirates and then at the Brewers, who
• 6:09
  will be setting their playoff rotation.
• 6:10
  Probably so by then, yeah. It's not great.
• 6:14
  If I had to because the other team in contention is the
• 6:18
  Giants, it might be the Reds. Might be the Reds if the if the
• 6:22
  Mets are going to get caught and well, let's you know, let's go
• 6:26
  step further. What are the Mets have?
• 6:28
  Well, here's the Giants. I got the Giants in front of me.
• 6:30
  They go to the Dodgers for four starting tonight.
• 6:33
  Then they have the Cardinals at home and the Rockies at home.
• 6:35
  Yeah. Really.
• 6:36
  Pretty good there for the Giants who sit 2 back and then finish
• 6:39
  up with the Mets. This is what they have.
• 6:42
  They finish up their series with the Padres tonight.
• 6:44
  Actually, I think it's first pitch.
• 6:46
  It's a day game. It is, yeah.
• 6:47
  We're 2 minutes away from first pitch, then the Nationals.
• 6:50
  OK at the Cubs. OK at the Marlins.
• 6:54
  Spoiler Marlins. No, I don't want the Mets in
• 6:56
  there. Why?
• 6:57
  I just. I like.
• 6:58
  Alonzo yeah, I like Sodo, Nemo. They're pitching stuff.
• 7:04
  It's it's they're starting pitching that's going to let
• 7:06
  them down. Well, maybe because we we would
• 7:08
  keep alive that Diamond Bats ticket you talked me into in
• 7:10
  March. Oh.
• 7:11
  God. Maybe that's already said
• 7:13
  because I don't have anything on the bats, that's for sure.
• 7:15
  I've. Got more Diamondbacks and more
• 7:16
  Rangers. You know it's funny because we
• 7:18
  usually have at least an opportunity to make some money.
• 7:20
  Baseball I I didn't catch 1 ticket.
• 7:23
  I catch the Blue Jays. Blue Jays.
• 7:25
  Folgers. Not even to win the division,
• 7:26
  no. Over.
• 7:27
  Yeah, over 76 1/2. And I had him with Duke to make
• 7:30
  the Final four, one of the Final four teams.
• 7:32
  That's the only one I cashed. But yeah, we, I I invested
• 7:36
  heavily in the Rangers and the Diamondbacks.
• 7:38
  Swing and a miss. Oh well, we'll get them next
• 7:42
  year. Yes, absolutely.
• 7:43
  We'll go right back to them. And here's the thing, it's it's
• 7:45
  not like you can't find a name the finalists or World Series
• 7:49
  exactly because of those prices will be posted coming up here.
• 7:53
  Any. Well, once we get to the end of
• 7:54
  the season. All right, I want to ask you
• 7:56
  this question because look at Buffalo's a really good team.
• 8:01
  Yeah, Miami's a really bad team. Is there any any potential
• 8:06
  pathway to the Dolphins winning this game in your is it a good
• 8:10
  game? I want to be entertained on this
• 8:11
  Thursday night. I think you're going to be
• 8:13
  looking for some baseball. I think I might be right.
• 8:16
  I all. Right, here's the scenario.
• 8:19
  Lay it on me. Buffalo defense isn't very good.
• 8:23
  And there are without Milano, and then without it Oliver.
• 8:26
  Absolutely. So you take two of the stalwarts
• 8:29
  out of a defense that hasn't been very good.
• 8:31
  You have Tua, he can get hot, and Waddle hasn't.
• 8:36
  You got it. Well, he was 26 to 32.
• 8:38
  The problem was six of those in completions, half of them went
• 8:41
  to the other team. You take that three to a zero,
• 8:44
  clean game. Tua gets hot, Waddle makes the
• 8:47
  plays. Tyreek Hill's finally not
• 8:48
  bitching and he's actually making plays and all of a
• 8:51
  sudden. They should be doing more damage
• 8:53
  through the air with that cast of receivers.
• 8:55
  You know, it's 2724, you know, and they, I think that's the
• 8:59
  only path though, right? Get it a shootout.
• 9:02
  Crazy things are happening. That's the only path.
• 9:04
  It's not 1716. No, that's not the path.
• 9:10
  It has to be a shootout. It has to be wide open.
• 9:12
  We're going to the fourth quarter and they're within a
• 9:14
  field, you know something like that, boy, I don't.
• 9:18
  See it? I just don't either.
• 9:19
  What's the strength of Miami's defense?
• 9:21
  I haven't seen him play for Miami this year.
• 9:23
  I mean, we're only two weeks in, but you know, I'm not going on
• 9:26
  my way to watch the fish. Right.
• 9:28
  Nothing. Right.
• 9:30
  Yeah, Well, Bradley Chubb. How old is Bradley Chubb?
• 9:32
  I don't know, don't say his name piss me off every.
• 9:35
  Time. What did I?
• 9:36
  Bradley Chubb. I guess there's your stalwart.
• 9:39
  No, it's not very good. It's hard to come up with a
• 9:42
  realistic stalwart. How much?
• 9:45
  Well, you got a little college football tonight.
• 9:46
  No, but they're bad games. Rice at Charlotte, Yeah, no,
• 9:49
  that doesn't do it for. You.
• 9:50
  No, no, I'm out. The owls No, no, not not going
• 9:54
  to do with. Rice No, it's going to be the
• 9:56
  NFL. It's it's Kirk Herbstreit and Al
• 9:59
  Michaels and Kaylee Hartung and a cast of thousands.
• 10:03
  It's a pretty good crew. The pre the half time and the
• 10:06
  post game crew. Do you like them?
• 10:07
  I think for Fitz is really good. Tony Gonzalez kind of hit or
• 10:11
  miss. Sherman's good, Whitworth's
• 10:15
  good, and Carissa Thompson kind of steers the ship.
• 10:19
  That's not a bad, that's not a bad set.
• 10:23
  I don't watch enough of it to have an opinion one way or the
• 10:25
  other. Now can I interest you in this?
• 10:28
  NFL is a blowout. Yep.
• 10:29
  College football does nothing for you.
• 10:31
  Baseball, there's nothing. That's gravity.
• 10:32
  Well, there's not a ton of games.
• 10:33
  I guess Giants and the Dodgers would be it.
• 10:36
  We got in the elimination game, two of them tonight in the WNBA.
• 10:39
  No, I'm not. Can't do it I.
• 10:41
  Can't do it. I haven't watched it all year
• 10:42
  since Caitlin got hurt. I haven't watched a game.
• 10:44
  Storm Aces down to the wire. No, no fever.
• 10:48
  No. You could see Caitlin on the
• 10:49
  bench. Well, no thanks.
• 10:51
  No, no, no. So this is game three of their
• 10:55
  three-game first round series, and they're in Atlanta.
• 10:58
  Back to Atlanta and back to Vegas for those two.
• 11:01
  And they're back to Phoenix, as the Phoenix put it to the
• 11:04
  Liberty last night, A pick that you were given at 150 yesterday
• 11:07
  after Oh yeah, we're on the right side.
• 11:10
  We're we're stacking them together back-to-back.
• 11:11
  Good days make a three in a row. Four in one on Tuesday.
• 11:15
  What were you? What's today?
• 11:17
  Thursday. Yeah.
• 11:18
  What? What did you end up yesterday?
• 11:19
  Yesterday was a three in one. Can we stack up three in a row?
• 11:23
  Why not? Probably not.
• 11:25
  Well, let's and hopefully carry it into the weekend so we can
• 11:28
  stay. Let's do that.
• 11:29
  Two jokers in the afternoon. Need to do that also.
• 11:32
  Yeah, indeed. All right good stuff bouncing
• 11:36
  around a little bit here, Trent. Let's go to tomorrow night, 7:00
• 11:39
  Well, before we do that, where will you be?
• 11:41
  It will prevent you from watching the game live other
• 11:44
  than on your phone. I'm.
• 11:44
  Going to be a neighbor with you is it's going to be the Battle
• 11:47
  of Ankeny Friday. Ank Friday nights.
• 11:49
  Right the Jaguars of Centennial and the Hawks of Ankeny collide
• 11:53
  in the intra city rivalry. Nice and be there 6:45 with the
• 11:56
  pregame, 7:00 with the kickoff, with the Hawks and the Jag
• 11:59
  you've. Done that game most years, have
• 12:01
  you not? Yeah, I would say, well, what's
• 12:04
  been going on now 12 years, something like like that, Is
• 12:06
  that how long it's been since? The split.
• 12:08
  Probably at least 10 of the 12 I've been there, I think for
• 12:11
  this match. Well, did it Might have been
• 12:14
  longer than that, because wasn't Joel Lanning's Ankeny Hawk Jerry
• 12:19
  Pizzetti coach championship team?
• 12:22
  Wasn't that the last of the before the split?
• 12:26
  Before the split seems right. I think it is.
• 12:29
  Yeah. So do they still get the does
• 12:33
  when when you're at that Game 2? 1013 was the first meeting. 2013
• 12:37
  OK, When did landing play? Not a bit about right.
• 12:42
  So I haven't been there. Watched an Ankeny football game
• 12:46
  a long time, did they? Is it still I make this?
• 12:48
  The visitor stands were tiny. They've they've enhanced those,
• 12:52
  correct? Well, that's no longer the
• 12:54
  visitor stands either. So there's a new press box over
• 12:56
  there, new bleachers on that side, the old press box side.
• 12:59
  Which would be on the east side of the of the field.
• 13:02
  Yes, that press box still is there.
• 13:04
  That's where I'll be for the radio broadcast along with the
• 13:06
  visiting coaches. But.
• 13:08
  And that's the visitor side. That's the visitor side, I know
• 13:11
  that. So the new press box is over on
• 13:13
  the far side of the field. And that happened, oh, probably
• 13:15
  7-8 years ago. I think that Dennis Albaugh
• 13:18
  might have been the primary backer of that, or maybe the
• 13:22
  scoreboard, one of those things. The Albaugh Group wrote the
• 13:27
  check for that, I'm pretty sure. But point being it, it'll be
• 13:29
  packed tomorrow for this. Oh, absolutely.
• 13:31
  Yeah. Good.
• 13:32
  And I kind of like, you know, we've seen a lot of them week 1
• 13:34
  or even Week 2. Yeah, I'm, I'm glad.
• 13:36
  Give them a couple of games. Yeah, get their feet underneath
• 13:38
  them. Centennial ended the losing
• 13:40
  streak as Ankeny had won three in a row last season, 3110,
• 13:44
  couple years back, back in 2023, one of the best games I've ever
• 13:47
  called. 3938 went down to the wire, 2 point conversion to win
• 13:50
  it. Anderson, the quarterback, threw
• 13:52
  it for Ankeny. There's been some really, really
• 13:54
  good ones here. Both teams come in two and one
• 13:57
  playing for positioning come playoff time.
• 13:59
  Will you talk to Pizzetti, either Ryan or Jerry at all
• 14:02
  prior to or journey after I'll? Probably not.
• 14:04
  Usually just get a depth chart. OK.
• 14:06
  And that does it. That's usually Ryan.
• 14:08
  Don't get that one from Jerry. Yeah, usually send that e-mail.
• 14:10
  If you do see Ryan, tell him I will tell him.
• 14:12
  Cindy and I both. Say hi, my wife.
• 14:14
  Absolutely. Friends of the family, good
• 14:16
  people. And glad Jerry's still doing it,
• 14:19
  right? Yes, glad he's still doing it.
• 14:20
  And those old, old guard, one at Valley, one at anchoring.
• 14:23
  Just keep on keeping on, boys. Keep on keeping on.
• 14:26
  All right, So tomorrow I'll be watching Rutgers and Iowa.
• 14:30
  What am I going to see? You're going to see.
• 14:34
  Am I going to see Mark Gronowski?
• 14:36
  Well, you see it. Continue, right?
• 14:38
  But continue what we kind of thought we saw maybe the
• 14:42
  beginning of last week. The confidence was building.
• 14:45
  I get it. It wasn't the saltiest opponent,
• 14:49
  but it's Rutgers and I think it's going to be a close game.
• 14:54
  I don't think I see a blow out either way, but what do we think
• 14:57
  we're going to see? I have a lot of optimism that I
• 15:01
  was going to play well in this spot.
• 15:04
  Reading a lot about the injuries for Rutgers, reading about the
• 15:09
  injury of their best wide receiver, Strong.
• 15:11
  They're down to their fourth team tackle.
• 15:14
  They have struggled overall on their offensive line, their
• 15:17
  defensive front hasn't been able to do much and that schedule
• 15:20
  that has not been very daunting. No, they've beaten nobody.
• 15:23
  A couple of Mac teams. They've given up over 5 yards of
• 15:27
  carry. There's a lot to point to that
• 15:29
  this is match up wise, a really good match up.
• 15:34
  And did you see Chad Leistekow's article that Greg Schiano was
• 15:38
  almost the defensive coordinator?
• 15:40
  I did not. For Iowa, it was him and Norm
• 15:43
  Parker that it came down to the wire when really got the job.
• 15:46
  Way back in the day. Yeah, I just heard.
• 15:48
  I did not see that before. I heard Chad mention.
• 15:51
  I don't know if the article's out yet.
• 15:52
  He mentioned it on Hawk Central last night here on KX&O and
• 15:55
  that's the only mention. I haven't seen the article
• 15:56
  myself yet, but. Well, that's been a well kept
• 15:59
  secret. Absolutely.
• 16:00
  I talked to Schiano when we were in Vegas and I asked him about
• 16:03
  this game and but he didn't bring anything up like.
• 16:05
  That I'll be damned, yeah. I I wonder I don't remember that
• 16:08
  name on the list at all. I.
• 16:10
  Mean. How did nobody find that right?
• 16:12
  It's not the first time. 27 years later, right?
• 16:14
  It's not the first time I was played.
• 16:15
  Rutgers, with Shiano, was the head coach.
• 16:17
  Great job out of of Chad finding out that information and and
• 16:21
  tracking it down. He also mentioned last night at
• 16:23
  Hawk Central that he tried to ask both Kirk and Shiano about
• 16:27
  it. Yeah, neither really wanted to
• 16:28
  talk about. It yeah, way back in the day.
• 16:30
  That's that's really cool. All right, let's do this Trent

• 18:11
  I'm good, I'm good. Doing well guys.
• 18:12
  Just got off work at the Woodland Hills cleaning some
• 18:14
  golf cart. As a boy.
• 18:16
  And hey, by the way, Ken, what you're going to see tomorrow,
• 18:18
  yes, is the eye of a rushing attack that works.
• 18:21
  I'm just going to say I'm going to say 225 yards based on what
• 18:25
  Trent said with the injuries and stuff.
• 18:26
  So yeah, I think you're going to see a rushing attack like you
• 18:29
  haven't seen this year all. Right.
• 18:30
  Sign up. For that works for me, so you
• 18:32
  work for. Noble out there at Woodland
• 18:34
  Hills. Yeah, I do, yeah.
• 18:37
  Tell Noble high for me. I will do that.
• 18:39
  Noble Birkhead? Yes, he's a big Colts fan.
• 18:42
  He is, absolutely. He is.
• 18:44
  Yeah, I didn't want to Purdue, did he?
• 18:46
  I didn't know that. All right, well, let's get into
• 18:49
  it here, Jim. The Bills tonight are 11 1/2
• 18:51
  point favorite over the Dolphins.
• 18:53
  Give me the Dolphins. That's too many.
• 18:55
  A lot of points, isn't it? I would give us 2 1/2 or give us
• 18:57
  2 1/2 to Rutgers tomorrow. Gives or gets.
• 19:01
  Gives. Yeah, yeah, I already placed the
• 19:04
  bet. So Iowa.
• 19:05
  OK, they get good. Utah's a 2 1/2 point favorite
• 19:08
  over Texas Tech on Saturday morning.
• 19:11
  And that's in Utah. It is, Sir, yes.
• 19:14
  Give me Utah because I placed that bet too all.

  Let's go 1716 Iowa gets the win. Utah's a 2 1/2 point favorite.

  They will host Texas Tech Todd. That too early for Utah so I'm
• 21:33
  going to go tech. OK, Indiana 6 1/2 to Illinois.
• 21:39
  Illinois. Chiefs, Giants total points
• 21:42
  closest with outgoing overs the tiebreaker. 36.
• 21:47
  Thank you, Todd, enjoy the games, hey.
• 21:50
  Appreciate it. Appreciate it.
• 21:51
  Appreciate the chicken coop for allowing us to do that.
• 21:54
  That's not good. Consensus.
• 21:56
  Is not go well. I liked Iowa too, before that,
• 22:00
  and I thought we were training that way with Utah, too, who I
• 22:02
  also like this week against Texas Tech.
• 22:04
  Todd was the only one. Yeah, that.
• 22:06
  Took. Oh boy, yeah.
• 22:08
  Is it set up to be one of those weeks?
• 22:11
  Dark One start in a Big 10 for the Hawks.
• 22:14
  Ken, if that happens. Oh God, with Indiana coming.
• 22:17
  With what still is on that schedule.
• 22:19
  Oh. My God, Penn State, Oregon,
• 22:26
  Nebraska. I'm looking forward to Nebraska,
• 22:29
  Michigan. That may be one of my favorite
• 22:31
  games this this weekend, get a sense of how the Huskers are.
• 22:35
  So I wonder what I was. I mean, Oklahoma's good.
• 22:37
  Oklahoma's good. That was a good football game.
• 22:39
  Was that last week or two weeks ago?
• 22:41
  I think it was a couple of weeks ago.
• 22:42
  Whatever. It was a good football game, but
• 22:45
  we'll see. That's the middle of the
• 22:46
  afternoon on Saturday. All right, so still to come this
• 22:49
  hour, Bill Bender from the Sporting News.
• 22:51
  Look forward to catching up with Bill.
• 22:52
  We'll do more NFL coming up here in to start our number two, our
• 22:56
  one O clock hour and then we will hear from Steven N simple
• 23:00
  on Nebraska and Michigan. Right now he's Lee Sterling,
• 23:04
  paramountsports.com. Hello, Lee Trenton, Ken, how are
• 23:07
  you? I'm good.
• 23:09
  I'm real good. Actually.
• 23:09
  It's been raining here. Get this now.
• 23:12
  Not all day long, but we've had some downpours. 27 straight days
• 23:17
  at my house in Miami. That crazy.
• 23:20
  I feel like I'm I'm living in Seattle.
• 23:23
  Yeah, well, get used to it, I guess.
• 23:25
  I don't know. I mean, the is it still as humid
• 23:27
  as it always is in the summers? It's still bad.
• 23:31
  You know what it was during the summer, but not now.
• 23:33
  What's crazy? I think that probably means if
• 23:35
  anyone's planning a trip to South Florida December through
• 23:39
  February, it'll be perfect. It'll be like 6870°.
• 23:43
  Not a cloud in the sky there you.
• 23:45
  Go. Great, great group of games he
• 23:47
  got for us this week. Lee.
• 23:48
  We'll get to Iowa, Rutgers here at the end.
• 23:51
  Let's start, though, the Jackson Arnold revenge tour.
• 23:55
  Oklahoma laying 6 1/2 against the Auburn Tigers.
• 24:01
  Yeah. I mean, he's going back to the
• 24:02
  scene of the crime. Here's the problem, I think for
• 24:05
  Auburn when they played Baylor, a lot of their best plays, go
• 24:09
  watch the game. We're broken plays.
• 24:11
  And I don't know if that's going to work as well against
• 24:14
  Oklahoma. Brent Venables, his former head
• 24:17
  coach, knows him pretty well, and I think there's an advantage
• 24:19
  there. And he calls defensive signals,
• 24:22
  so it's going to be tough for him here.
• 24:24
  And if you think John Matier is good but not great, go watch his
• 24:29
  old team, Washington State. They were losing to North Texas,
• 24:32
  40 to nothing at the half. Yeah, not even competitive and
• 24:37
  pop in the tape of him last year playing Washington where he
• 24:40
  willed his team. He's tough as.
• 24:41
  Nails tough, talented. Do you think he gets drafted,
• 24:47
  guys? Well, I think he's going to be
• 24:49
  in at the Heisman Awards ceremony.
• 24:53
  I don't know. I.
• 24:55
  Isn't crazy probably the top, the top three guys.
• 24:58
  If I had to say who the top three guys right now, if who
• 25:02
  deserve it, I would say it would be Matir, Carson Beck and I
• 25:10
  would say. Sorry, yeah.
• 25:14
  Good one. Marcel Reed?
• 25:16
  Yeah. How about Marcel Reed?
• 25:17
  Okay. And he missed some plays
• 25:18
  Saturday night against Notre Dame.
• 25:20
  Yeah. Yeah, he did.
• 25:22
  That's. A good point.
• 25:22
  I mean, when you're down 7, nothing after a block punt for a
• 25:26
  touchdown and half that was from behind, Impressive.
• 25:29
  But I I like, I like Oklahoma here.
• 25:33
  This this kid, I'm not betting against him.
• 25:34
  There's certain quarterbacks in the NFL I don't want to bet
• 25:36
  against. I'm not betting against John
• 25:38
  Matier just yet. He's fun to watch.
• 25:40
  Utah's a three-point favorite as they will host Texas Tech bright
• 25:43
  and early in Utah 10:00 local time.
• 25:48
  You, you know, we don't know that much about these two teams.
• 25:52
  Here's what I know for sure. Their quarterback I think is
• 25:55
  something special. May not be an NFL quarterback,
• 25:58
  but the kid can play running and throwing the Yep.
• 26:02
  So I'm not so sure yet. I do know the Texas Tech
• 26:07
  defensive line is better and that gives them a chance.
• 26:09
  But I think home field and I think the talent a little bit
• 26:13
  better than the last couple years for Utah and also special
• 26:16
  teams. Love their special teams.
• 26:18
  Give me Utah here, 3428. Utah, 3428, putting some points
• 26:24
  up in that one huge battle in the Big 10.
• 26:26
  Not on the hardwood. Yes, on grass.
• 26:28
  Illinois, Indiana, The Hoosiers A5 point favorite.
• 26:33
  I think the difference here in this game is the line play.
• 26:37
  Now, Indiana, everything went right.
• 26:40
  Their quarterback, Mendoza, who's from Miami, actually, his
• 26:44
  high school is probably 10 minutes from my house and he's
• 26:47
  playing well, but he was sacked. A lot of people don't realize
• 26:51
  this. 50 times last year at Cal, 50 times.
• 26:55
  And I think this Illinois defensive line is special, think
• 26:59
  they can run the football. They don't need to play perfect.
• 27:02
  They commit to or less turnovers.
• 27:04
  I think they're going to win the game here.
• 27:06
  I, I think Illinois is the right side here.
• 27:08
  They've beaten some good teams last couple years, Kansas,
• 27:11
  Nebraska, Michigan, South Carolina and Duke, and they're
• 27:15
  only bad losses by more than a touchdown.
• 27:18
  Where to Penn State and Oregon. I like Illinois up 30 to 20.
• 27:23
  Wrong team is favored. Lovett.
• 27:25
  All right, Michigan is off to Lincoln, NE.
• 27:28
  The Huskers are getting 2 1/2 from Michigan.
• 27:33
  They are. And if you put the rosters and
• 27:37
  based on talent side by side, Michigan's better, you know, no
• 27:42
  question about it. One through 40, let's say, but
• 27:46
  it's not played based on rosters.
• 27:49
  Dylan Rayola I think is starting to come into his own because he
• 27:53
  has a really good offensive coordinator.
• 27:55
  Finer finally, Dana Holgerson, Dana Horgerson may not have been
• 27:58
  a good head coach, but look wherever he went, he would turn
• 28:01
  50. Sixty 70th rated offenses in the
• 28:03
  top 10 offenses. Matt Rule also as a home
• 28:08
  underdog, can't judge that first year in Nebraska yet.
• 28:11
  Nothing. Didn't have a home underdog
• 28:14
  situation last year, but he was five and two his career at
• 28:18
  Baylor. He loves this situation.
• 28:21
  I think the defense a little bit better.
• 28:23
  They two of the three opponents allowed less than 200 yards and
• 28:27
  271 total yards against. Since he and since he I think is
• 28:30
  underrated as an offense. Also, Bryce Underwood, these are
• 28:35
  the back-to-back top rated quarterbacks coming out of
• 28:38
  college football. I think he's going to be really
• 28:40
  good, but but they just don't trust him yet.
• 28:43
  A lot of third and five or longer, everything is underneath
• 28:45
  to a tight end, to a back flanker screen.
• 28:48
  And these guys when they catch the ball, if they catch it, they
• 28:51
  got to avoid a tackle or two just to get a first down.
• 28:53
  So I don't like the play calling.
• 28:55
  I think they're too conservative right now.
• 28:57
  And the final piece here, no Sharon more here.
• 29:02
  He's not going to be coaching. He's been away from the team for
• 29:04
  two weeks. Who's taking over Back to the
• 29:08
  Future Pogy? He is not a good in in game
• 29:11
  decision maker if you watch when he was at Charlotte.
• 29:16
  How long came his favoured wins outright 2421?
• 29:21
  And we finish up on Friday night.
• 29:23
  Tomorrow night, the Hawkeyes on the road for Rutgers, Iowa 2 1/2
• 29:27
  point choice. Rutgers, I think just one of
• 29:31
  these teams, they can play up to a certain level and I respect,
• 29:34
  you know, their their coaching staff, they get their kids
• 29:37
  ready, have a good game plan. They just can't make plays when
• 29:41
  it happens and they really need to.
• 29:43
  So that is a problem for them. You know, I think I wouldn't say
• 29:48
  it's going to bust out, but I think that they're they're going
• 29:52
  to be able to make some plays here.
• 29:54
  So I know they're ranked 120th on offense if you count just the
• 30:00
  Big 10 games, but the Hawkeyes were six and three in the Big 10
• 30:05
  to Rutgers four and five and each played one rank Big 10
• 30:08
  opponent. Rutgers has been blocking and
• 30:10
  returning kicks like crazy, but that that energy usually dries
• 30:14
  up when you start playing the big boys in conference hearing.
• 30:18
  Despite the Scarlet Knight's reputation for defensive special
• 30:20
  teams, they're 3 and 11 against the spread as a home underdog
• 30:24
  under Greg Schiano. Iowa, The right team is favored,
• 30:27
  2620. All right, it's an early
• 30:30
  Saturday morning game. Madison is the scene.
• 30:33
  It's Maryland who's something, well, as you can say, somehow
• 30:36
  unbeaten. It's all schedule related,
• 30:37
  unbeaten, but it's Maryland and they're getting a bunch of
• 30:40
  points. So I see that.
• 30:41
  Did I see that right, Lee? Yep, getting 1010 double digits,
• 30:47
  double digits so. This your game of the week?
• 30:51
  Yep. If it do you think this is a
• 30:53
  blowout or do you think this is going to be a tight game and
• 30:56
  maybe Maryland pulls it off, be one of the 1st 10 callers.
• 30:59
  We'll give it to him for free, 800-400-9741.
• 31:03
  Again, that number 800-400-9741. And this is the promotion

  giving us a couple of minutes here.
• 32:15
  Certainly some big games in the two conferences that move the
• 32:18
  needle most in our footprint, the Big 10 and the Big 12.
• 32:21
  I'll start with the Big 12. Couple of them there.
• 32:24
  I want to get to the Baylor, Arizona State game, but let's
• 32:27
  start first with Texas Tech and Utah.
• 32:29
  I think we're going to see one of these two teams play for a
• 32:34
  Big 12 championship, Bill. We're early.
• 32:36
  We're about to kick it off conference play, but I still
• 32:39
  think Utah and Texas Tech have some cache behind their names.
• 32:42
  How do you see this game, Bill? Yeah, contrasting styles.
• 32:46
  It's tough to pick, you know, Texas Tech obviously, you know,
• 32:50
  Baron Morton scoring ton of points against lesser
• 32:53
  competition. It's all kind of an early season
• 32:56
  breakthrough with Kyle Whittingham and that defense.
• 32:59
  So yeah, it's a tough one to tough one to gauge, you know,
• 33:04
  but I I like Utah, I like Devin Dam Pierre, I like their defence
• 33:08
  and I like that they're a home early kickoff makes it
• 33:11
  interesting. So I think you're right though,
• 33:13
  Ken, when are this game probably plays with Big 12 Championship
• 33:17
  when we get to November, December?
• 33:19
  Ken mentioned Arizona State, Baylor, I think a really
• 33:22
  intriguing game, both teams already with a loss on their
• 33:24
  schedule and and really looking to bounce back.
• 33:27
  The loser. This one I think is going to be
• 33:29
  having a lot of questions about the program.
• 33:31
  Do you see an advantage one side or the other?
• 33:33
  Do you see it kind of what the point spread says?
• 33:35
  This is basically a coin flip game.
• 33:37
  Yeah, Yeah, I do. And and you know, for Arizona
• 33:40
  State, I've said all along, and I thought I know they ran the
• 33:43
  ball effectively. But if you know what they're
• 33:46
  missing, watch the Giants on Sunday.
• 33:49
  I mean, Kim Sabu is going to be starting soon, you know, and I
• 33:53
  think that that is what they're missing.
• 33:55
  And not to say that Sam Levitz not good or doing, Tyson's not
• 33:58
  good, but you know, now you're playing against Sawyer
• 34:00
  Robertson. Who I I guess I'm getting
• 34:04
  frustrated with this one because I have no idea who in the world
• 34:07
  the the Heisman leader is, but Sawyer Robertson could be one of
• 34:11
  those guys as we get into it. Yeah, I, I I wholeheartedly
• 34:15
  agree with you there. Well, let's go to Lincoln.
• 34:18
  This game fascinates me. Middle of the afternoon on
• 34:21
  Saturday, Michigan and and Nebraska, we're going to
• 34:25
  obviously learn a whole bunch more about Nebraska.
• 34:27
  They're finally going to play somebody with a pulse.
• 34:30
  Look forward to that. Michigan lost to Oklahoma
• 34:33
  earlier, but I think this got a chance to be a real good game,
• 34:35
  Bill. You know, any minute now, I got
• 34:38
  AT shirt with Matt. I talked to Matt Rule yesterday
• 34:40
  and I like Matt Rule. I think he's a real dude.
• 34:44
  He's relatable, You know that. The halftime speech went viral
• 34:47
  and I got a little fired up. I want to go put some shoulder
• 34:50
  pads on and hit somebody from Akron, no less.
• 34:53
  That would have been easy, but it was fun and he's a good guy
• 34:59
  and this is a big opportunity. There's some streaks at work.
• 35:02
  The one narrative he's kind of put to bed is the one score
• 35:04
  thing. They've won three and five
• 35:06
  against one score law and games and.
• 35:09
  Now, I mean, it's been a. Friend, I told you, man, I told
• 35:12
  one of my editors this yesterday.
• 35:13
  Do you think I would have ever said that Nebraska lost 27
• 35:17
  straight games against ranked opponents.
• 35:19
  The Nebraska we grew up with, I mean, what an opportunity for
• 35:23
  them against a very good Michigan team.
• 35:24
  Excited about the quarterback matchup.
• 35:27
  I still think the Wolverines win, but won't be surprised if
• 35:30
  Nebraska does. This popped up on
• 35:32
  sportingnews.com one minute ago the article, so it has been
• 35:36
  posted since we've been speaking.
• 35:38
  Very timely conversation with Bill Bender.
• 35:40
  Bill, I asked you, you're making a road trip next week.
• 35:43
  You're going to be working from home this weekend as you'll go
• 35:45
  out to State College for work in Penn State.
• 35:47
  But this week, the Illinois Indiana game, maybe they're just
• 35:51
  something because I remember watching Ray Com, some of these
• 35:54
  crappy games back in the day between these two teams.
• 35:57
  And here we are for the first time in either of our lifetime.
• 36:00
  Certainly Bill and maybe Ken's as well.
• 36:02
  Illinois Indiana matters on a national scale this week.
• 36:06
  What do you think we're going to see in Bloomington?
• 36:09
  I mean, what a game, what a, what a fun game. 2 coaches that
• 36:13
  have really done a nice job at those programs.
• 36:16
  The again, contrasting styles. One thing to keep in mind,
• 36:19
  Altmeyer and Mendoza have combined for 17 touchdowns and
• 36:22
  no interceptions. Now competition levels up here
• 36:26
  and Indiana can run the ball and a spotlight for them and their
• 36:30
  program. Am I crazy for like in Illinois
• 36:33
  though? And that defense and that
• 36:34
  defensive line, and I know it's going to be a close game.
• 36:38
  And I just kind of trust Brett here in that underdog, underdog
• 36:41
  rule. And I think the Illini get the
• 36:43
  dub. But if Indiana wins and I've
• 36:46
  qualified two of these now, I won't be surprised because Kurt
• 36:50
  Zignetti has created, you know, an environment there in Indiana
• 36:53
  where it's a tough place to play.
• 36:55
  And I do remember what they did in Nebraska last year.
• 36:58
  We're already seeing coaches walk the plank.
• 37:00
  How important? And because we thought the
• 37:02
  Florida game was important last week, now it's Florida versus
• 37:06
  Miami. What is what does this mean in
• 37:08
  the grand scheme of things for Billy Napier, if anything, right
• 37:10
  now, here and now? I know we all hate coaching
• 37:14
  cliches, but they're still playing hard.
• 37:16
  I know, DJ. Lagley turned the ball over five
• 37:19
  times last week, but they still play hard and they've got dudes
• 37:22
  on defense. That's what I watch like.
• 37:24
  So my indicator would be if Miami just blows them out and
• 37:28
  it's like 49, nothing. And you can see guys quitting on
• 37:30
  the field and it's something we can all detect without knowing
• 37:34
  all the you can see when guys quit.
• 37:36
  And I don't think it's quit on Billy yet.
• 37:39
  And you know, it's not his fault.
• 37:41
  The schedule is what it is. I understand all that.
• 37:44
  And maybe his days are numbered after all.
• 37:46
  But I think this is a really good chance for them to show
• 37:50
  that their backs are against the wall because it's not going to
• 37:52
  get any easier. Wait till these narratives
• 37:55
  combine when Texas plays Florida and either Billy Napier is going
• 37:58
  to get fired or Arch Manning is going to get benched.
• 38:01
  Which ones are going to be? That's, oh boy.
• 38:07
  Speaking of narratives, I just want to get your perspective.
• 38:10
  Notre Dame's still ranked some people.
• 38:12
  It fires them up. Some people say, well, most.
• 38:14
  A lot of teams would be O and two, and a lot of teams in the
• 38:16
  top 25 would be O and two against Miami and A&M.
• 38:20
  Did you have a problem with that when that came out from The
• 38:22
  Associated Press? No, it's tough because they
• 38:27
  should they be ranked, I wouldn't have them in my top 25,
• 38:31
  but it's not because of the record necessarily.
• 38:34
  I just, they're giving up too many passing yards.
• 38:36
  They've got more flaws than they do last year.
• 38:38
  They're good quarterbacks, young and they'll come along.
• 38:41
  But here was the reaction I had was the first one was OK,
• 38:44
  they're probably out of the playoff.
• 38:46
  And then you start to think about it, they're they might not
• 38:48
  be. That's one of those things you
• 38:50
  do on Saturday night at like 1:00 in the morning.
• 38:52
  Then you start to rethink it when you get up because you're
• 38:54
  like, well, if they win 10 games and these SEC teams have to play
• 38:58
  each other and who knows what happens in the Big 10?
• 39:01
  And maybe they look really good. But it was a costly loss.
• 39:04
  I mean, they had think about how and Urban Meyer talked about
• 39:08
  this. We missed the goal at Tennessee,
• 39:13
  Mayfield goal at Georgia Tech, Clemson and a bottled extra
• 39:16
  point at Notre Dame. Name those were they.
• 39:19
  They altered the entire class picture.
• 39:21
  Yep, indeed. I'm just going to play in about
• 39:23
  20 seconds. Bill Quick, quick hit on Auburn,
• 39:26
  Oklahoma. Any opinion there?
• 39:30
  I. Like it to be a tight game but I
• 39:31
  think the Sooners win. I like the fear but protect
• 39:35
  Jackson Arnold in this game. Good stuff Bill, hope to run you
• 39:38
  down before you make your way to College Station for what should
• 39:41
  be a fascinating game next week. Thank you Bill Bender, enjoy the
• 39:44
  weekend. Appreciate it.
• 39:46
  I appreciate you. Thank you.
• 39:47
  Good to talk to you Bill Bender from the Sporting News.
• 39:50
