Episode 119: Can Carr and the Wolverines upset Indiana? Trinidad Vs Arch! What will week 8 bring? · You Don't Know Ball Podcast

• Isaac Rowe: What's going on, Dude Don O Ball Podcast Nation? Welcome back to the show. what an electric weekend of college football and pro football that we had. Obviously some games didn't go our way, but it's still a hell of a lot of fun. I will say that for sure. I think the only team I guess actually t These two teams both won this weekend. Finally. Thank God. I mean, Jack's now a Bama BYU fan, so he's a he's actually a Bama and whoever nerd aim is playing fan. So well yeah. Well shit, you got me. Except for Virginia. Virginia's his team. Virginia is Virginia basketball is his team. That's his that don't I'm not fooled by all the bullshit about him being like I'm a Virginia football fan. No, you're not. I never thought I was a Virginia football fan. It's a basketball fan. Of course it is. But a really fun week. Go to Provo, go to Virginia. Hey, you know what? Tuscaloosa. All the teams that Jack cheers for, you gotta send us merch from now on. So we got BYU, we got Bama, we got Virginia, Michigan, Michigan. You guys owe us merch. So hit us up. Well right we'll put some. That's a pretty good transition point. Alex obviously I mean that's not really the biggest thing that happened this weekend, but benching a twelve million dollar quarterback. Yeah, you finally benched a twelve million dollar quarterback. How do you feel? Good. Okay. I think good. I love it. I I love it. We won a game. I mean, it wasn't the prettiest game in the world. I mean, Penn State blew by cover coverages all day and and then it shouldn't have been twenty one to eighteen, it should have been like twenty one eleven. Mm-hmm. And they just totally forgot how to play defense in the fin final drive of the game or fine one of in Iowa Penn State's final drive of the game. Just forgot about playing defen. I I mean Michigan forgot to play defense, so Yeah, I mean it was a little frustrating but I could win though. Yeah. I mean that's definitely the spark that Michigan team needed. I I would have expected that you were would be like bouncing off the ceiling for how How excited that Tom Tommy Carr comes in at halftime. I was pretty locked in. Everybody is like everybody's sitting at halftime. Like, what who's gonna come out of quarterback for Michigan at half after half? And the announcers like, if you really want to get this place going and get a spark, you put Tommy in there and see what happens. And sure as shit. He had the spark. It took him one drive, I will say, that it took him He had that first three and out and then he started to hit his rhythm for the rest of the game. And it looked like the Michigan offense had answers. Running downhill. Everything, yeah. Well, granted, Penn State is terrible, so we can't Yeah, I'm not gonna say we're gonna have a shot this week, but you know the thing that's gonna give you a shot is that defense. That's all that's exactly what's gonna be. Tommy Carr. And I think getting a more reving that car. That's what we're gonna do. Well, we'll see who started at quarterback 'cause Woody Camp doesn't want to announce. I think we can all agree that it's gonna be Tommy running out the time in the yeah get my boy Tom offensive series. But definitely that was some huge news for Michigan. Yes. And then Jackie have any comments about the Michigan? You have any thoughts and comments about the Michigan game or No, I'm just happy they set Bryce Hunterwood finally. Yeah. It was about time. Long overdue. It's about time. I think about everybody is thinking that way. I mean it he did handle it. I want to give Bryce Underwood for some credit here. He did handle it like a like a legend. Like a captain, like he is. He went out there, was Tommy's biggest supporter the rest of the game. He watched film with him, like all the things for sure it's props to him. F a really hard situation. To accept in his shoes because, you know, he came in with all the hype. He came in with the $12 million contract. And the The anticipation was off the charts and he just wasn't it. And to get benched in that moment and see the fans r react of Tommy running out and say all the cheers, I'm sure it was hard, but he handled it like a like a man and a captain that he is. So I wanna give him credit for that 'cause that's hard to do. Yep. For sure. But gets embarrassed at his home stadium. Mm-hmm. Can't do it. Nope. I give him pro props as well. And if he transfers out, I hope he does well somewhere else. But I'm glad he's heard Boston College is looking for a quarterback. And Colorado. all right. Maybe Utah. Anything else on Michigan? Michigan. god. That would be terrible. Ohio State's looking for a quarterback. Do you see what they ran out after Saiyan got hurt? The f the kid was like five seven. Yeah. my lord. Really? Yeah, yeah. And he shreen right to a offensive lineman. Looked like looked like a bug on a windshield the entire entire rest of the game. I'm serious. Like he Ohio State did nothing with the football. They completely relied on their defense to win that game. And you know what? Their defense almost sold if Nick Marsh doesn't run out of the side of the end zone on his route. He had the guy beat. Yep. And he just completely ran out of bounds on that last play. And that was a tough look for Nick Marsh and the Hoosiers, but they that still was a good game. Jeremiah Smith is obviously the entire offense for that Buckeyes right now. He they and Indiana had a really good play and then they kept him pretty contained the rest of the game. I'm curious if what if they If Julian Saiyan comes back this year, which is still under heavy investigation if he will or will not. But like if the Big Ten championship game is Indiana, Ohio State, I wonder what happens next time around. Yeah, they're definitely keeping it hush hush right now about what's going on with Julian Saiyan's arm. But I've I have a sneaking suspicion he's out for season. There's no way his arm folds like that and he's able to throw a football right after that. Because I don't not go through surgery. Yeah. He didn't? And no, I'm just I I we haven't heard of he gone to surgery or needs it or whatever. It's kind of been hush hush around the Buckeyes facility, but they're gonna be rolling with Luke Fahy, I think is his name. And then Tavion like St. Clair, yep, is the backup. He's a former five star and Leahy's a former three star. So Which one's a five seven dude? Leahy. Yeah. So we'll see we'll see what he does for the rest of the season because I'm actually kind of interested to see what this offense looks like. Especially when they're they have a bye week this week, so he gets to get acclimated to the speed and the system and how everything's gonna work. And then they play USC. Yeah. In right after by And if I'm US C right now, I'm looking at my chops 'cause yes, the defense looks tough, but we have a really good offense, but that offense did not look scary whatsoever, except for one guy on that team. It's Jeremiah Smith. Jeremiah Smith, yep. And I mean if you have him on your team you're you always have a shot to win. He's just that good. Dude, they literally threw it up to him, get get that one touchdown. Yeah, fourth and two, and they threw it up to Jeremiah Smith. He catches it in triple coverage. Like that was ridiculous. But it wasn't even that good of coverage either. It's just stupid. It was it was crazy. But Jack, you have anything else on that? No, I didn't watch that game. What what's talk with let's talk about a game that you did watch? What game did you watch? Watched a little bit of that BYU Notre Dame game. Yeah, I guess were about two games. Casper the friendly ghost. We're we're we're two games into this podcast and we haven't even brought up Notre Dame once. So let's let's bring that game up. Obviously Notre Dame loses to BYU and in Provo twenty eight twenty-four. controversial ending you could say. a lot of it was a really physical game, really intense matchup and two really good teams and I to BYU's credit, they were really tough. They were really They came out with all the juice and all the answers and they were the they were the better team that night on Saturday night. And even though Notre Dame fought back, we couldn't get the job done and we that number one defense didn't really live up to the hype for the majority of that game. So the entire game. So I I think the the first half really screwed us. CJ Carr had a couple of mistakes mistakes that really cost us some points like the fumble spike at the end of half and a couple a lot of over throws that he doesn't miss that often. The fumble spike is ridiculous. I mean we're I'm gonna watch a football game for the rest of my life and I probably won't see that ever happen again. No. Because that is just a sh a fluke and a like rare chance that that that even happens. But Credit to Bear Bachmeyer and the BYU offense and defense, 'cause they were on fire the entire night and they were lights out for the majority of that game and they got the win. So they shouldn't have they should have got Notre Dame should have had one more second to throw it out of bounds. Even yes, I guess even if we had the one more second, who knows if we actually score. But you guys would be on the one too, right? Well if they called pass interference, which w a hundred percent was, because how do you bear hug a guy and he can't get can't even get up to the ball? Right. Hey, you know, they did have a chance there where It was near the end. The football went right through the Notre Dame guys' place. my god. yeah. He was covered. Yeah. But that BYU corner was like a foot away from went right through his hands. I know. I I I was like, how do you not catch that ball? I think it was a t tight end, it was Jack Larson. And I don't know why I don't know why we're throwing it to him at the for the game on the line. We had a couple of chances in the red zone where we're throwing it to our tight ends for With a for a touchdown that we CJ either overthrows him or it's just just out of his reach that he could make a play but he doesn't. Like Dude, this one was in the corner of the end zone. I mean, yeah, I I don't know why. But everything just fell off for that Notre Dame team for sure. And it it looked like we haven't played anybody until that point. We looked like we were we were We were scared in the spotlight and you know what? It was it was tough for sure. But Well, it also doesn't help that when you guys got that pick in the f fourth with ten minutes to go. No, eight minutes. Eight minutes to go and you didn't do anything with the ball. Like even if you get one more first down there, you still punt it there down at their no there. If you get one first down you have a chance to get and you do nothing the rest of your drive. And they do not and they you punt it, they're still on their ten and they still have to go down the field with I don't know how many minutes they would have left, maybe six. Yeah, I don't know. I mean Notre Dame what meet that p interception that I thought we won the game right there. I would have said that. I'm saying that right now. I thought we won the game at that point because Jaden Sanders comes in, they try picking on him. Bear Bachmeyer throws a a bullet right to his chest and we get the pick. And I'm like, all right, perfect. They haven't been able to stop the run all game. We had a really good offensive drive. We have all the momentum. Let's just keep our foot on the gas and which let's close this game out. And we come out with Aeneas Williams in the three worst plays I've seen all game long. And We go actually backwards and I'm I'm sitting here in shock and I'm like, geez, what the hell was that? So we put the ball away and that ended up leading the the BYU offense to the game winning touchdown. And it was just frustrating because why are we being so conservative and not like going to to and close that game out? And I I I blame Mike Denbrock for that series because it feels like there's so many times where I can I look at the offense, I'm like, all right, let's go put this away and we just don't. We just constantly Just be so conservative and I'm so tired of it. It reminds me of the national title against Ohio State where we were so conservative the first half first half and we come out the second half and we're on fire and we put up 23 points with a chance to win the game. Why couldn't we just do that from straight like yeah from the opening kick? Just let it rip. And you know what? Credit to this the opening series against BYU was aggressive because CJ had a throw right down the middle of the field. And Jordan Fajron is running a post route wide open and he missed him. So I just want us to be more aggressive and more like, let's go get this win. Because we don't do that enough. And it costed you this thing. And you know who did? BYU and Bear Bachmeyer. Yes, sir. Jack's guy. Bear Bachmeyer had a game of his life. My Heisman. He had a rushing touchdown, a passing touchdown, and a receiving touchdown. He had the hat trick. That is ridiculous for a a quarterback. to do that in a game and you know what he had all the moment motivation in the world and he came out and was on fire. Mm-hmm. So he was. Really a lot of credit to that BYU coaching staff because everybody was talking bad. I mean the ten and a half spread even was talking bad about them at home. And like that environment is so awesome and so tough to play in and especially when they're good. Like it's it's tough, man. It was a tough place to play and I'm gonna say something that's really pretty controversial, I think for for Nerdame fans, but I feel better coming out of this loss. Knowing that we can play in the atmosphere and we can we will fix our mistakes and we will address what went wrong and we're gonna have a chip on our shoulders the rest of these season going into that Miami game than I than I felt I felt better coming out of this game than I f did coming out of the Michigan State win. So take that as you leave it, but that's that's what I have to say about this game because it it was a heartbreaker for me. For BYU they have to they're they have to show up against UCF. I mean UCF's not got good of a time. Let down spot. Let down spot. But it is definitely they're on definitely on upset alert because of, you know, just the emotions of a really big game and then going into another game. So let it definitely have high favors. So and I saw that the spread for that game was like seven and a half points, and UCF is not all that great. No, UCF is not good. So yeah. Jackie have anything else about BYU? Come on. I know you I know you're sitting there Saturday night like, damn, I can't wait to grill Isaac for this shit. So how about you I was thinking about texting you in the about eight minutes left in that fourth quarter, but couldn't do it 'cause You know, when the game was winding down, Notre Dame was kinda marching down the field. I was worried they were gonna get a little cheeky score in there. I was hoping so. So I had to wait until after the game to go, hey, B Bears kinda looking like a Heiz Heisman candidate. What y'all think? You held your tongue? That's so funny. Dude, he did look like a Heisman candidate. He is the Heisman candidate at this point. He I mean that was his Heisman game for sure. And he's gonna have another game opportunity against Utah and Texas Tech and on November seventh. And who knows? I don't know when they play Texas Tech, probably the championship game. But that's another point where they're gonna be like They're gonna be tested and it's gonna be it's gonna be fun to watch. Dude you know what's surprising to me is that like BYU doesn't really even have like a running back. No, because their star running back got hurt. Yeah. And we let a bunch of random running backs just white guys like run all over us. Paxton Rex. That's his name. Paxton Rex. Yeah, I know. Rex Burkhead. Like the intern from the office, Paxton Rex. Not really I was not. I was so pissed. I was like, what the hell? What they're gapping us right now. It was like I don't even understand. But I mean all credit to BYU. They played a hell of a game, and I'm sure if I'm sure this is probably what a ca a scenario where nine out of ten times Notre Dame wins that game, but it only takes one. So And they got it. And they got it. And they did everything. They threw everything at the at the wall and is stuck. So I will say this. I will say this. When Bear's talking about, yeah, Notre Dame disrespected me pretty badly and my family after the game 'cause 'cause the whole story is cause Deuce Knight committed to Notre Dame before Bear Bachmeyer did. my god, cry me a river. Like Did I originally commit to Notre Dame? No, he got an offer and then Deuce Knight committed to Notre Dame the the day after. Deuce Knight does he didn't No, old Miss, sorry. Seriously, Bear, enjoy the win. That's what you need to do. Don't make it any more theatrical than it needs to be. You just beat the number two team. Bear you can do whatever you want. You didn't you just beat the number two team in the country. Stop acting like a damn crybaby because Ner Nerdane disrespect disrespected you. Be happy where you are. Sorry Notre Dame didn't go on their knees and suck you off. Yeah. We don't soak. We don't soak at Notre Dame. You're a Mormon. You're going there. Yeah. You're right. You weren't gonna go there anyways. You're not gonna go surround get surrounded by a bunch of Catholics. The only time we soak is When we're taking baths, we don't soak. Or at the dinner table for you getting baptized. We ain't getting b yeah, it's called getting baptized. All right. Try it. But I mean, I can't really talk shit. He he dogged us. But that was that's all I wanna say 'cause I saw a bunch of things about him getting disrespected. Like, you're such a theater kid. Yeah. So kid gets told no and starts whining. Yeah, I mean whatever. Just like Bryce Underwood. Let's talk about Bama. What the hell's going on with your tide, Jack? Yeah, what the hell, Jack? I didn't watch the game, but they got dogged. Dude. I didn't I was like I didn't watch the game either, but I was like checking. You did. I watched a little bit of it. Yeah, that the honestly, the score is kind of like Doesn't make it look as No. The score made it look a little like Bigger of a blowout than it did, but like none neither offense could do anything. Yeah. It was like a defensive slug fest, and then like obviously Tennessee got the win at home, but like Yeah, I mean, none of it looked good. I mean, what the hell is Keelon doing? He just had a really good game against Georgia. Because bet on him. Seriously, I think it didn't Seven yards passing in the first half. I think I doomed a lot of teams because geez, dude. I all my every time I bet on a parlay. on w a select group. They will have their worst game of That's me every time I start somebody in fantasy. Like they are like, Alex started me in fantasy? Let's just get a concussion and actually drop negative points before I go out. Like, what? I yeah, I don't I don't understand what the hell is going on, especially with my parlay curse. But, you know, Bama Got dominated at their own game against Tennessee. Tennessee had the better defense, had the better offensive line, better fronts. They dominated them from the first snap. And Keelan Russell went in the halftime with seven passing yards. Yeah. That's wild. That's wild. He just came off a a a dominating, not dominating, but a really great game against Georgia at who everybody thought was a really like the best secondary in college football. And he had a pretty decent game against him. And he goes to Tennessee and he gets his ass. Like and we haven't even touched about Georgia yet. They lost too. Like everybody lost Texas lost. Texas lost. That Auburn g Georgia game was nuts because Georgia was down seven seventeen or one of s I think it was either seventeen or ten and they came all the way back. And then Georgia got the ball back to take the lead and Gunnar stocked and fumbled and then Auburn. Is there like a butt fumble? Yeah. Like ran into his Pretty much. Yeah. And then Auburn got the ball and they they man, that final drive where the quarterback for Auburn had like he did something he threw it away or something and he got hit late and and like it they called it un unnecessary roughness on on like one of it was like it was gonna be like fourth and two or what something and they got a first down and they ran it out the rest of the til tail field goal game a range and they kicked it. That's crazy. Yeah, I I saw that they won by three but I I was wondering how big of a of like sorry, I just blanked but how Dangerous was Byron Brown's legs in that moment. They were they I mean the two of his f two of the final runs was fr from him. So I think if you're Auburn, that's what you got to do from here on out is just ride ride ride Bry Byron Brown's legs and then that's Dude, that Alabama Georgia game's gonna be especially if it's at Auburn if it is or it isn't, I don't know. But there that's SEC's deep, as you all know. It's all crazy. It's craziness right now. I everyb I feel like there's gonna not gonna be there's gonna be like two ten and two teams in that league. Yeah, and then everybody else is gonna be nine and three and worse. And we haven't even talked like Kentucky's Good this year. LSU is LSU. They Lane. LSU is LSU. They got Ole Miss. They got Florida. Florida. They got Florida's hot and cold. Hot and cold. You never know what they're gonna get. You got Missouri's dropped good points on good teams. Yeah, Missouri's got something in their bag. Mississippi State fell off the earth. Texas Texas. Texas hot and cold. Oklahoma can win on a rainy day too. Random day, Oklahoma could upset you. I mean It that SEC league is really just crazy everywhere. And we're gonna see what it looks like at the end of the season when it's all said and done. But I'm I'm still kind of suspicious about the SC because yes, they're all playing against each other, they're all beating each other, but that makes me question like how good are these teams. How good are these teams? Because I mean we don't really know until they play someone outside of like the conference. And I don't I can't name one non conference game that the SEC won that was like, damn, that really shows And it should have been Ohio State. It should have been it was Texas Ohio State Yeah, it was Texas Ohio State but now Texas Yeah now Texas is falling off. Yeah, they're not even that great. But do you think it's Sark's fault or Arch's? I don't know. Arch because he sucked. I don't know what the hell to think about that team, that team right now, because Arch is not doing great. Sark's not doing great. Imagine this. The only thing great about Texas right now is their defense. At the end of the season, imagine this. Texas missed the playoffs, Sark gets fired, Arch enters to Trenchaporto and goes to Tennessee. That'd be cool. That'd be sick. I mean, that would be sweet, but I don't know. Or old miss. Or old miss. Miss. man, yeah. None of them. Georgia. Probably Georgia still. yeah, because Georgia lost Georgia lost to a field goal and they were down ten. They were down ten and came all the way back. I I I don't even know how to answer that question. I I'm gonna Yeah, Florida's nice. I'm gonna s I'm gonna say Georgia just because it's Kirby and he's proven the most, but I'm looking at that conference and I have no idea. There's Dante. No idea. But Dante doesn't even know where he's at right now. No. I think Kentucky's a Kentucky's a really good situation for sure. Yeah, U S E C is just some sort of Wizard of Oz wonderland in Big Ten is just has three teams. But the thing is you can't say Big Ten is the best conference in the c in the country when the Big Ten only has like two good teams. One of them doesn't have a quarterback anymore. Well allegedly. Seriously about how good is the Big Ten at this point because Oregon sucks. Oregon sucks. And I mean yes, they beat Nebraska, but Nebraska sucks. Sucks too, 'cause they l barely lost to Indiana. And then Indiana lost to Ohio State this week. I I think almost lost to Northwestern. Almost lost to Northwestern. Michigan beats Oklahoma but loses to Minnesota. Iowa Iowa loses to Ohio State by twenty at home. So I don't know, man. I think all these teams are w I think we gotta go to the Big Twelve, man. Yeah. Big twelve. Yeah, th mean the only team BYU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Houston. Like those are a bunch of good teams, and there really isn't much else except, you know, obviously. Not even the independent. I d I wouldn't even say Miami's the number one team in the country. They're just there because everybody else lost. Yeah. Like that Florida State got robbed in that game too. That was bad. But Florida State gave them a hell of a fight at at Miami at Miami. I don't think they should have b been number one. I don't there's BYU should have been number one. They won that yes, they won, but like they looked bad. They didn't they did they looked horrible. I I would have put BYU at number one before Miami. Yeah, they looked bad doing it. And honestly, if if I'm BYU, I I'm pissed because BYU is got the best win. got the best two wins I think right now 'cause Arizona's not a slouch. They're ranked two. And they beat Notre Dame, who's n number four. I didn't think BYU should be number one. 'Cause who is Clem who is you see sorry, who is Miami beat? Miami hasn't played a ranked opponent all year. Florida A and Right. Miami and Miami ha still hasn't played a ranked opponent. Yeah, I mean they're playing against And they play in a dog shit conference. They're playing against Pitt next weekend and then they'll play against North Carolina in Chapel Hill. So that'll be a test 'cause Nerd we saw Nerd go down there and they got tested. So Mario Cristobal. We'll see we'll see what happens. And you know what? They come to South Bend November seventh. That's all I gotta say. That's and it's gonna be cold. That's so And you're be playing Miami boys, you're gonna have to figure out what snow is. You're gonna be playing a pissed-off Notre Dame team. That's all I gotta say. But I don't know, it's crazy week. That does remind me, before I get any deeper, we gotta go to Caleb's corner and see the the week at the weekly pick'ems. I was thinking about this earlier. Like We gotta go over our pick'ems from last week, dude. Why did we why why why are we letting Caleb Pick his picks. If he's not here picking, he's getting coin flips this week. I and he's like, I already put mine in. I'm like Yeah. He's like, I didn't get that luxury. No one did. So I think we're gonna overrule. Yeah, we're gonna coin flip for him. We're gonna have a coin flip for him. Let me grab a coin real quick. Alright, yeah, you, Caleb. You're getting you're getting coin flips. All right. So b going back to last week, going back to last week Caleb won the week at 6-1. He he got the Indiana pick wrong, but he got LSU, Tennessee, North Carolina, Ole Miss, BYU, and Houston right. Jack came in in second at 5-2. He got Ohio State right. UNC Ole Miss, BYU and Houston. He got Mississippi State and Alabama wrong. I came in third at 4-3. I got Ohio State, LSU, North Carolina, Ole Miss, and then got third and Oklahoma State and Alabama wrong. And then Alex comes in at three and for he got North Carolina, Ole Miss, and Houston right, but it got Indiana, Mississippi State, Alabama, and Nerdame wrong. I picked Mississippi State. You did. Mississippi State played. LSU. Damn. Yeah, I should have picked they lost 31 nothing. Come on, Camario. Yeah. He wasn't playing. He was out. What the hell? Yeah. But I don't have all this information. That's what that's what happens when we record on Mondays. We don't have that information. That's that's the thing I guess. But Alright, so these weeks game, this week's games, we have Ole Miss at Texas, we have Oklahoma at Mississippi State, we have Western Michigan at Toledo, we got Georgia State at Arkansas State. What the hell, Caleb? We got Indiana at Michigan, and then we got Houston at Utah. So obviously some decently some decent slated games here, but we'll start with the we'll start with the top one. Ole Miss at Texas. At Texas? At Texas. Give me Ole Miss. Give me Ole Miss as well. 'Cause didn't didn't Texas just lose at home this week? yes they did. They lost to Florida at home. So Jack and Alex you're going Texas sorry, Old Miss. Old Miss, yes. So am I. So I'm taking old miss here too because obviously you can't bet against six. So here goes Caleb's pick. All right, let's see, Caleb's pick. I was and then I waited too long. Is that is that is that Texas Tails right now. Texas. you were gonna recently, you gotta flip it. Okay. Heads is old miss, tails is Texas. Jesus. Just flip it to the ground. So heads old miss. Caleb gets old miss. That's probably the only good pick he's gonna get. Did he did he pick that one? Or did he pick that? He picked Texas. you picked Ole Miss. That's gonna help him probably. Probably, yeah. All right. Oklahoma State at Mississippi State. I'm it really depends on if Camario Taylor comes back. I r Give me a mess to make They're playing a b no, it's it's Oklahoma. I thought you said Oklahoma. Sorry, my bad. It's Oklahoma. Oklahoma. It's Mateer. It's the other end quarterback. I'll go Oklahoma. You going Oklahoma, Alex? Yeah. I'm gonna go Mississippi State. At 'cause I think they're at home and I think they're had some pride. And I think could can you look up Camario Taylor's play? Yeah, I'm gonna look up some little Camario Taylor. did you write my name yet? no I haven't got. Don't write my name yet. College Game Day had records their third most watched episode Uncertain of the Uncertain. Of forever. Give me Oklahoma. All right. Three million views in BYU. Most viewed episode this season. Nice. So Alright. Sorry, I'm writing it down right now. So Jack went Oklahoma. Alex? I'm gonna go Oklahoma. I think I'm gonna go Oklahoma too because I just don't I don't know what's going on in tomorrow. And I think it's gonna be a tough one. So give me Oklahoma. Tails is Oklahoma. He originally had Oklahoma so we'll see what happens. Heads. So what's that? Oklahoma? I said Oklahoma was I think you said Oklahoma's Tails. Tails. Mississippi State. Mississippi State. Mississippi State. He's gonna be so pissed. Sorry, Caleb. You missed the episode, you get a coin flip. You get the coin flip. It's the rules. All right. So next game we got Western Michigan at Toledo. Toledo is favored a w to win. Give me them WMU boys. WMU. I'm going with WMU too. I think we should give Caleb the WMU as well. Yeah, I think we should. So, alright. But he did go with Toledo. okay. So let's coin flip. He did go with Toledo. Tails is Toledo. Yeah. Tails. You got Toledo. Alright. Didn't even say it at first. My fault. Alright. So Alright, we're down to our next game. We got Georgia State out of Arkansas State. Why why is this a selection? Why is this a selection, Caleb? I'm gonna take Georgia State. Even though yeah, Georgia State's favorite. I'm gonna take Georgia State just because I don't know who these teams are. I think he's still trying to pick every team or something. He is. But Georgia State for sure. For me. I'm gonna check the Georgia State. Yeah, give me Georgia State. Alright, Jack goes to Georgia State. What's the other team? Arkansas State. Arkansas State. What's their record? Three and four. And Georgia State's better? Four and two. Georgia State. All right, Caleb. Caleb went with Arkansas State originally, so let's see what your the coin has for you. Georgia State will be Taylor. Alright, so he's keeping keeping Arkansas State. Alright, Caleb. He's probably gonna go undefeated now. Just saying. Yeah, he's he's the kid that gets lucky of all those things. Alright, next game we got Indiana at Michigan. This is a spread pick. So is the is the spread right now is India is f gonna cover the seven point spread. Indiana is favored by seven. Sorry, that's what I meant to say. Yeah, I'll I think Indiana will probably cover by seven. B if it was more You're gonna go against your team again, Alex. You're gonna go against your team. No, it's here hear me out. It's not because Geor Indiana is I don't think Indiana is gonna be wait. You think Indiana's gonna win by seven or not? I mean I think they can win again by seven, but I'm not I can't I can't take any more losses, Isaac. I g I gotta have a win. So yes, I do think J Indiana could win by seven. Yeah, I'm gonna say Indiana's gonna win by seven. But I think it's gonna be a lot closer than everybody realizes. So Caleb took Indiana by seven as well. I hope he gets Michigan. He's getting Michigan. You have Michigan Holy shit. He's the only one that can edit this, so he's gonna get us. I have to send it to him anyways, but that's still funny. He needs to do it. No guy. All right. Houston at Utah. The the college football, the college game day is going to Utah at Salt Salt Lake City. And the number 14 ranked Houston Cougars go to see the number 10 ranked Utah Utes. Utes. I think this is also a spread pick, so is Utah gonna win by six and a half or is Houston gonna cover the six and a half spread? I think Utah's gonna win by six and a half. I think Houston covers. I think Houston's gonna cover as well. I I this is the first test that we're seeing out of Utah's at home. Utah to play, yeah. But they're at home, so we I can go both ways. wait, hold on. Caleb had the Houston to cover. Yep. So he's keeping it keeping it. The thing with these things, but if you start it on the head, the one I've like rarely seen it start where like if you start on heads or land on tails. For me, I never know. And all right, so that's gonna do it for this week's pick-'em. So for Ole Miss, sorry, for the Ole Miss Texas game, Alex, Jack, myself, and Caleb are all going Ole Miss for the Oklahoma Mississippi State game. Myself, Jack and Alex are going Oklahoma. Caleb's going Mississippi State. For the WMU Toledo game, Jack, Alex, and I are going to WMU. And then Caleb's going Toledo. Georgia State, Arkansas State. Jack, Alex, and I are going Georgia State. Caleb is sticking to the Arkansas State. And then for the Indiana-Michigan game, Alex, Jack, and I are having Indiana cover the seven-point spread. And then Michigan and Caleb is having Michigan to cover the mid seven point spread. So bold pick. Bold pick. Very bold pick there. Lone wolf pick there. And then Jack and I have Houston to cover and then Alex has Utah to win. Utah the cover. So we'll see what happens this week in college football as this is a pretty big not as big weekend. This is kind of a kind of an off weekend. It's kind of an off weekend to be honest. After what we just had. Like we'll see what happens, but definitely interesting. And let's talk a little bit about pros. I don't know how much the time. JJ motherfricking McCarthy got it done this week. He's looking like an actual quarterback for the first time in his life. Two two hundred and forty three yards passing in one quarter is in eleven minutes. NFL record. NFL record. Vikings Vikings failed him. Just like they did Darnold. Just like they did Darnold. So I think JJ is gonna be a goat. Yeah, I think if they they start J J next weekend it's gonna be it's gonna be pretty interesting to what that Giants offense could look like 'cause I think I think J J's got some it to him. He's got that mm he's got that dog in him. Yeah, he's got he's got it. And I and I'm excited. obviously Sunday we got the Lions playing the Packers at home. We're wearing our blackout jerseys, so that'll be fun to see. That'll be some cool shit. Is that this weekend? yeah, the Sunday. man. So I think that's the four o'clock game, so that's the prime time game. Yep. America's game of the week with Brady on the call. Yep. So we'll see what the the the Lions can get don't done and see if the defense can step up like they did. What? You got the coin. Just texting Caleb. Comedians decided you got the coin. So Caleb, you're gonna be watching this up. You're gonna be like, shit. But all right. I think that's pretty much all I have for this episode. it's been a pretty pretty good up. Group chat's blowing up now because Caleb's just realizing that he got the the coin flip. So we'll see what happens. final thoughts, Jack. My picks do good this week. Keep the trend. I need to dude. I'm three games back on Caleb right now. Yeah, yeah. I need my I need my picks to do good this week. Yeah. Alex final thought. Yeah, every week from now on. Every week. I think good job for Michigan coaches staff putting the foot down and getting new quarterback in. I think it's gonna help us in the long run for sure. Especially if Tommy Card turns out even half of what his brother is at Notre Dame. shout out JJ McCarthy. I knew you had it in him. I knew he had that dog in him. I I'm like debating on starting him in fantasy this week because he's I knew he was gonna do Who's getting the starting job? Right. So I think he's he great job. I knew he had it and keep going and yeah just go blue baby. For my thought make it close this week. My final thought Didn't have a victory Monday, so I didn't wear any Notre Dame stuff on Monday. But I'm declaring since we're recording on a Tuesday, I'm declaring this as bounce back Tuesday. So I wore I wore Notre Dame stuff. We have all our goals in front of us, Irish fans, so don't panic yet. That no November seventh game just becomes a little bit more important. And you know what? That's the one we all wanted. So let's go get and let's go beat let's go beat their ass this week. So that's gonna do it for this episode of the U.S. Don't know ball podcasts. We'll remember we don't know ball, you don't know ball, we all don't know ball. We'll see you in the next one. Peace. Go blue.
