- 0:30Speaker 1: It's a football Monday.
- 0:32Speaker 1: We're going to react to all the games from this past weekend, just like we do every Monday.
- 0:38Speaker 1: But I'm still a heart sick man.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I mean I can be healed.
- 0:47Speaker 2: I don't.
- 0:48Speaker 2: I mean, there's only one thing that's going to heal it.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a victory.
- 0:51Speaker 1: That's right Over our travel and their place.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Need Rodamaker to heal me.
- 0:57Speaker 1: I'm heart sick about Jordan Travis's injury.
- 1:00Speaker 1: You need two wins man Two wins Yep.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Anything after that, then whatever you know what like, I'm at the point now where I don't I don't even care what happens with the playoff, If you win two games, whatever Right.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Well, I think you'll be you know.
- 1:14Speaker 2: I mean I will if that happens, but right now I just you know just win these last two games, man, finish the season Sucks yeah.
- 1:29Speaker 1: It just still sucks.
- 1:30Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what it reminds me of.
- 1:33Speaker 1: Order state 1998, I guess, but recently in the playoff air, the first ever playoff.
- 1:40Speaker 1: As you look at the national champions of that year was Ohio State, not to mention having FSU undefeated at number three.
- 1:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Ohio State was in over.
- 1:50Speaker 1: You know the big 12 had a bunch of co-champs that year.
- 1:53Speaker 1: I say made it.
- 1:54Speaker 1: They had two quarterbacks out, they went with the third string 12 gauge, yeah so and then they ended up being the national champion.
- 2:04Speaker 1: You gotta I mean you can't say anything.
- 2:07Speaker 1: You have two of the tougher games left on FSU schedule left.
- 2:11Speaker 1: They'll have every opportunity to prove who they are and if they win those games, it shows how resilient of a team they are.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Being undefeated.
- 2:20Speaker 1: It has to be rewarded with a playoff.
- 2:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to hear this crap about one loss team.
- 2:26Speaker 1: I just don't it's.
- 2:27Speaker 1: It just pisses me off that we're 10 years.
- 2:29Speaker 1: We're going to do that crap again.
- 2:32Speaker 2: We're not.
- 2:32Speaker 2: You know, florida State wins the next two games, they're going to the college football playoff.
- 2:36Speaker 2: Right, the swamp is still a hostile enough environment.
- 2:40Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're playing for bowl eligibility.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, yeah, louisville is going to be a top 10 team.
- 2:46Speaker 2: Right, they're going to beat Kentucky, yeah it.
- 2:51Speaker 2: You know that that's what's going to happen.
- 2:53Speaker 2: If Florida State can win the next two games, they're going to the college football playoff.
- 2:58Speaker 1: Right, I mean I tell you what pack 12 is going to come down to it'll come down to Oregon.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Washington rematch.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Yeah, again, bama beating Georgia in the SEC title game is what can throw all these things off?
- 3:16Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't see that happen.
- 3:20Speaker 2: I don't either, man.
- 3:20Speaker 2: I think Georgia will go undefeated, kind of forgetting about the Bama team.
- 3:26Speaker 1: You know, and they've been doing good of late, but you know that's they still lost to at home to Texas by double digits and they still struggled in times of the season with the USF team, you know.
- 3:38Speaker 1: So I mean at one point they had benched the quarterback in the same season.
- 3:44Speaker 1: So you.
- 3:47Speaker 2: They're playing really good.
- 3:48Speaker 1: They're playing really good football.
- 3:50Speaker 2: That's all anybody's looking at.
- 3:52Speaker 1: They beat LSU and if things were in Florida State, where to lose a game I I they should be ahead of them because they both have one loss and I can see that.
- 4:00Speaker 1: But we're not talking about no, if you're undefeated, whether that be FSU, washington, ohio State, michigan or Georgia, if you don't lose, you're going.
- 4:10Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 4:10Speaker 1: That's it.
- 4:11Speaker 1: And if there's, you know Georgia's going to win out, or Ohio State, or Michigan wins out, washington wins out in Florida, state wins out.
- 4:19Speaker 1: You got four undefeated teams.
- 4:20Speaker 1: And then I guess, if if Alabama were to win them sorry, you don't get to go- yeah, and that's that's.
- 4:29Speaker 2: you know that what I feel, like most of the country.
- 4:32Speaker 1: They still could go, though you know like, but bottom line, just win the next two games.
- 4:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it.
- 4:41Speaker 1: You need, you got you got a rivalry game.
- 4:43Speaker 1: You got you're playing with without your leader.
- 4:47Speaker 1: Just the.
- 4:48Speaker 1: This team's going to be inspired.
- 4:50Speaker 1: There are a lot of.
- 4:51Speaker 1: The teammates went to the hospital to see Jordan Traffas, not surprised by that.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's really nothing that's going to rally the team in this way, that that that this has.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Yeah, um, will it will it matter?
- 5:06Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the great question.
- 5:08Speaker 1: It's a rivalry game.
- 5:09Speaker 1: It shouldn't like it, Right?
- 5:11Speaker 1: The?
- 5:12Speaker 1: The roster is still good enough to win the next two games.
- 5:16Speaker 2: I agree.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Now I'll be it the Louisville game is gonna be.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Louisville's got a really talented on yeah on paper, the Louisville game should be much tougher right but.
- 5:28Speaker 1: I'm telling you it's not gonna be easy in the swamp the the early line is six and a half.
- 5:33Speaker 1: I think that's even high.
- 5:37Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I just you know it there's.
- 5:43Speaker 2: There's some to be said with with the, the experience that you lose with with Travis and the way that his internal clock, you know, and that that kind of played into how he was so great at escaping pressure and extending plays it.
- 5:57Speaker 2: One thing that's clear is that Tate, you know he doesn't have that same pace in his internal clock.
- 6:05Speaker 2: You know he's moving a little bit slower steps slower obviously I man, it's just it's you know it's two huge games.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Catch back up in there, man.
- 6:22Speaker 1: Yeah, you got your backup quarterback in now, so Really gonna see what kind of play caller might Norville is in this next game.
- 6:33Speaker 1: I think a lot of the freedom of the offense will be, you know, brought back obviously with the younger kid.
- 6:40Speaker 1: But this guy's not young, you know.
- 6:41Speaker 1: No, he's a junior.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a junior fourth year junior fourth year junior Coaches kid.
- 6:48Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't think he's.
- 6:49Speaker 2: You know, football concepts aren't anything new to him.
- 6:52Speaker 2: It's just, how much faith is Norville in Atkins?
- 6:58Speaker 2: How much faith are they gonna have in Tate to just let him decide?
- 7:02Speaker 1: You know now, I wouldn't.
- 7:04Speaker 1: I would make it simple, kind of you saw, you know what, you what.
- 7:09Speaker 1: You saw a little bit of it, but you're gonna be playing against much more talented defense at their place.
- 7:15Speaker 1: It's gonna be a hostile environment.
- 7:17Speaker 1: It's gonna be a night game.
- 7:18Speaker 1: They're retiring Tim Tebow's number Jersey or whatever.
- 7:23Speaker 2: Yeah ring, honor yeah ring honor in the swamp so.
- 7:26Speaker 2: He's serious man.
- 7:29Speaker 1: It's a, it's a game where you know Tate has never been in an environment like this.
- 7:33Speaker 1: No, he hasn't man.
- 7:34Speaker 1: He played on the road at Louisville last year but not at the small road to the fire or per se, but that's nothing compared to like knowing all week You're gonna be starting Going in there.
- 7:46Speaker 2: You know that they're preparing for you.
- 7:50Speaker 1: Now there's not a whole.
- 7:50Speaker 1: They're gonna tool, set a scheme.
- 7:52Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, ready for you.
- 7:55Speaker 2: So we'll see, man, they're gonna need the next two weeks.
- 7:58Speaker 2: Norvel is gonna really have to Call some of the best Offensive games and of his career.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gonna have to get creative right, well, we have the.
- 8:09Speaker 1: You know, you have the team to still do it.
- 8:11Speaker 1: I still think this team has good leadership.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Trey Benson, you have a team of transfers, but guys that have you know came together for one common goal.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Yeah and that's just to get better every day.
- 8:24Speaker 1: And yeah, and that's what they want to keep doing is everyone else has to have that Focus to.
- 8:30Speaker 1: I really need to step up now.
- 8:32Speaker 2: I don't, I Don't even, I don't doubt for a second that everybody, every player on the roster, you know the focus and the intensity and the urgency will be there.
- 8:41Speaker 2: That's not.
- 8:43Speaker 2: You know.
- 8:44Speaker 2: One thing that's worrisome is the health of the offensive line.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Mm-hmm, you know, those guys are banged up.
- 8:50Speaker 1: Yeah, they're already, you know, fighting through injuries across the board as it is most myths listed on the depth chart, but I don't see him playing May and then, if then you got your two primary ball hitters will be new.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 9:03Speaker 1: I'm sitting in first game action.
- 9:06Speaker 2: You're optimistic, it's I'm.
- 9:07Speaker 2: I'm optimistic that they're saying most myths even gonna be a game time decision, because the word late Saturday and early Sunday was that he's probably done just like chat today.
- 9:18Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's good.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Washington did a really good job sliding in there for him.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Yeah we'll see, man.
- 9:28Speaker 2: I just yeah, it's a me griter dude.
- 9:34Speaker 2: And then the offensive line is really taking some lumps this year in terms of nagging, injuries and and guys being a hundred percent.
- 9:41Speaker 2: It's a good thing that they have so many versatile.
- 9:45Speaker 2: He's a guy like Washington, a guy like a man you want to buyers.
- 9:49Speaker 2: Bless Harris, yeah, play both tackles, but man, it's just, it's worrisome.
- 9:54Speaker 1: Well, you know, the strength of this team has been not turning the ball over, and that's what you're gonna need to continue if you want to get win on the road and then a win in Charlotte.
- 10:05Speaker 1: It's gonna take nine turning the ball over.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Yeah so don't be afraid to throw it away if you're Tate.
- 10:11Speaker 1: So I'm do that a couple times, which?
- 10:15Speaker 2: I thought man, I thought he did fine.
- 10:17Speaker 2: Yeah coming in.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Hey guy like this is the right kind of supporting cast that you want.
- 10:23Speaker 2: It's just as as jarring for him and and crazy, what you know what the witness of Jordan Travis going down, as it was for every other teammate, every other fan in there, and now he has the responsibility of replacing Jordan Travis.
- 10:39Speaker 2: Right, I got to go in there and be the guy now right.
- 10:42Speaker 2: You know anything that you're holding against them early when you know, not immediately driving down there and light it up like Remember you know the whole team had to settle in there.
- 10:53Speaker 1: What was another thing it was heartbreaking to see is not?
- 10:56Speaker 1: Katelyn Delos didn't get to play on his senior night and FSU is gonna need him in the in this game coming up.
- 11:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I really do.
- 11:08Speaker 2: That could be the difference right there.
- 11:10Speaker 2: If he doesn't play, he arguably the the most important player on the defense all season.
- 11:16Speaker 1: You know the seven sacks on the year.
- 11:18Speaker 2: Yeah, but Thune and Lundy have also been really strong at the linebacker.
- 11:22Speaker 1: Yeah, linebackers have really stepped up this year.
- 11:25Speaker 2: Um, but you know, deloach has been that guy.
- 11:27Speaker 2: Yep with the timely.
- 11:29Speaker 2: The timely sacks the timely.
- 11:31Speaker 2: It just man man Think, if he doesn't play you, really, I really doubt Florida stays chances of being able to pull it out.
- 11:43Speaker 1: Well, I'm not surprised by your no, I mean no yeah just getting ready.
- 11:48Speaker 1: You know for it I'm our way if we had Jordan Travis we would have won.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Yeah, we.
- 11:52Speaker 2: Jordan Travis, you know best linebacker.
- 11:54Speaker 2: Yeah, just one in the cards, man.
- 11:58Speaker 1: They don't have their quarterback.
- 12:00Speaker 2: No they don't got their quarterback, they got Max Brown.
- 12:02Speaker 2: You know they still got it in, although From what I read, fans aren't happy with the way they've been distributing the ball.
- 12:11Speaker 2: So I you know they.
- 12:14Speaker 2: Clearly he is ahead of Montrell Johnson.
- 12:17Speaker 2: He should be the number one back and I think they're a little bit upset with the distribution there.
- 12:22Speaker 2: But Whatever, he's dangerous.
- 12:26Speaker 2: Yeah he scares me.
- 12:27Speaker 2: Florida State has not been great against the run all season.
- 12:31Speaker 2: You know they have enough defensive linemen, healthy and guys that should be able to be stout against the run.
- 12:37Speaker 2: So it.
- 12:38Speaker 2: But again it comes to committing to stopping the run, and I think Adam Fuller kind of waits, buys his time until he starts to make adjustments.
- 12:47Speaker 2: You're not gonna be able to do that with this game.
- 12:51Speaker 1: The defense needs to step up.
- 12:52Speaker 1: A lot of pressure on everyone to step their game up.
- 12:58Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean deep defensive line.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Especially Max Brown is a mobile guy.
- 13:02Speaker 2: They're gonna do a lot of that RPO.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you can't let him eat you up like the kid from Boston College did Castellanos like that.
- 13:11Speaker 2: That's a number one concern there, facing that that offense.
- 13:17Speaker 1: All right.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Well, there was other football going on this weekend.
- 13:21Speaker 1: It's a football Monday.
- 13:22Speaker 1: We're heartsick, yeah.
- 13:25Speaker 2: Yeah, there's other games.
- 13:26Speaker 2: There's other games.
- 13:28Speaker 2: There's some other people, there's some, some surprises.
- 13:30Speaker 2: You know, hugh freeze, getting your hard guys pulled it out.
- 13:37Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll get to the big 10 championship game and get killed.
- 13:59Speaker 2: Yeah, It'll be a Hell man.
- 14:03Speaker 2: There'll be what top top 12 by the time that that rolls around.
- 14:06Speaker 1: Yeah just to make the big 10 champion more respectable.
- 14:10Speaker 1: But we also have to give out the unrealized.
- 14:15Speaker 2: Unrealized idea let's get the nominations.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, well.
- 14:19Speaker 2: I'm not gonna give Florida one in there, although, but I mean you could, but at this point it just feels like that was a tough environment to play in on the road under Dog you're playing a top-10 team.
- 14:31Speaker 1: They were fourth or 17, yeah yeah, you hate to thought, well, that's been.
- 14:36Speaker 1: I realized he went there.
- 14:38Speaker 2: Yeah, they're young in the secondary.
- 14:40Speaker 2: It's an unrealized idea.
- 14:43Speaker 1: We'll go ahead and nominate him.
- 14:44Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just that.
- 14:46Speaker 1: Get into that close to the victory.
- 14:49Speaker 2: Yeah, you had an idea, you had it and you just realized that, hey, yeah, we're about to win.
- 14:54Speaker 2: We're gonna win again.
- 14:55Speaker 2: Fourth and 17.
- 14:57Speaker 1: And we got this on the road.
- 14:58Speaker 1: We're going to a bowl unrealized as a as an FSU fan, I was hoping that they'd pull that game out, because I Mean it's gonna mean I mean you talk about Napier.
- 15:10Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you think that they would relax a little bit, like some of the heats off.
- 15:13Speaker 2: Well, I mean, we still got gonna have practice.
- 15:16Speaker 1: After this.
- 15:16Speaker 1: It's the season's not completely over.
- 15:19Speaker 1: Now you lose it's over.
- 15:20Speaker 2: Yeah they're.
- 15:21Speaker 1: They're honoring Tim Tebow, you know it's yeah, this is honor, this is it.
- 15:27Speaker 1: You know James gets put in the ring of honor on the CW.
- 15:32Speaker 1: You know we got Tebow getting put on the ring of honor.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Of course, Fowler.
- 15:37Speaker 2: Family shows up, herb Street shows up, oh man, we'd love to be there.
- 15:41Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's gonna be the stacks.
- 15:45Speaker 1: I mean, the cars are stacked against you.
- 15:47Speaker 1: I mean you're gonna see you got to pretend like you're an underdog if you're FSU, even though you're six and a half point Favorite, even though you're undefeated, even though floor is five and six.
- 15:55Speaker 1: Yeah you just lost your starting quarterback.
- 15:58Speaker 1: They dropped you in the polls.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Nobody believes in you, you know.
- 16:02Speaker 1: This is where Kurt, this is what Kirby smarts really done a good job in the last few years Like thinking that he'll find the reason to doubt.
- 16:10Speaker 1: They create that, that and there's not gonna be any need to even create it in this locker room.
- 16:14Speaker 2: You go in there with that edge.
- 16:15Speaker 2: That that's.
- 16:16Speaker 1: It's the sense of urgency, like well, you won't see what this program is about, you know.
- 16:20Speaker 1: I mean honest, it's not about one person, and that's what he always said and we'll find out.
- 16:26Speaker 1: And I think that's You're excited.
- 16:29Speaker 1: You know, for the challenge if you're a competitor and I, and I think this team is, and I think this team showed Resiliency all year.
- 16:36Speaker 1: They fought all year anytime.
- 16:38Speaker 1: They've been punched in the mouth almost every game and they play their best immediately after that.
- 16:44Speaker 1: So you know it's got this team.
- 16:48Speaker 1: I have no doubt that they're gonna take the right approach.
- 16:50Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.
- 16:52Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, well, you don't, but you don't know how the game's gonna play out with the, with the quarterback position and turnovers.
- 16:59Speaker 1: That's what you know.
- 17:00Speaker 1: It would hold me, you know, but I effort-wise and I think this team is gonna fight their ass off.
- 17:08Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't doubt that, I don't doubt it for a second.
- 17:10Speaker 2: We'll see if they just you know, they're gonna put pressure on Roda maker.
- 17:16Speaker 1: They're gonna make him have to beat you.
- 17:17Speaker 1: They're it's on the road.
- 17:19Speaker 1: They're gonna try to stop the tray Benson in the ground game.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Try to eliminate the.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Put the easy passes to the tight end.
- 17:25Speaker 1: That's what I would be looking for if I, if I was Austin in the toolshed scheme.
- 17:30Speaker 2: Mr Too shit.
- 17:31Speaker 1: Oh, you got a tool share scheme.
- 17:32Speaker 1: He's gonna try to bring out all the fancy yeah.
- 17:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I know schemes.
- 17:37Speaker 1: They're gonna do everything.

- 17:39Speaker 2: Well, he's up there for unrealized.

- 23:34Speaker 2: Yep nobody cares about that.
- 23:37Speaker 1: Right NFL we watched the.
- 23:40Speaker 1: Nfl with junior.
- 23:41Speaker 1: Yeah, he bears bears fan big-time bears.
- 23:45Speaker 1: Big-time bears fan and you saw the what the bears do.
- 23:48Speaker 2: Yeah, and you saw the rain, you saw his range of emotions from.
- 23:50Speaker 2: You know the bears start out how the bears start out and they're losing Early on.
- 23:54Speaker 2: Yeah, and then all of a sudden they're up 12 points Only three minutes ago and then they just do what the bears do man two touchdowns.
- 24:04Speaker 2: Yeah 15 to nothing, just like that, just like and then you know, on your, on your last attempt, you know you even give more points by yeah, yeah, that's right.
- 24:13Speaker 1: 31 to 26.
- 24:15Speaker 2: Well, my my team and I try, like I try to calm them down a little bit just by explaining to them like, at this point it's probably better.
- 24:22Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough to lose every week and you know it's better, it's just hard.
- 24:28Speaker 1: I mean to see them play well Against what is a really good Detroit line team this year.
- 24:36Speaker 2: Yeah, I changed my stance on Justin Fields.
- 24:38Speaker 2: Man, I don't think they should get rid of them.
- 24:40Speaker 2: I think he, I think he's got so much talent.
- 24:43Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you got a fire, eber fluss, I mean, you took you talk about Justin Ghost.
- 24:49Speaker 1: Just a dead place to go play quarterback in the NFL at Chicago.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been a graveyard for less 20 something years.
- 24:57Speaker 2: I mean, come on, well, they'll hire hardball, but I still think that.
- 25:01Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 25:01Speaker 1: Man, you have two top picks.
- 25:03Speaker 1: You got guys like drape may and Caleb Williams this year.
- 25:07Speaker 2: That's gonna be something to watch for you're gonna put him right back in the same.
- 25:10Speaker 1: I know junior loves some Justin Fields.
- 25:12Speaker 2: Yeah, but the thing is is you know you could use that, that number one pick, which I think Panthers will get it.
- 25:17Speaker 2: Yeah just go try to get yourself an all-pro tackle.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Right him on the offensive line.
- 25:23Speaker 2: Use your other first-round pick on something on defense up the middleman.
- 25:27Speaker 2: Like you, put a rookie quarterback behind that line right now and the same thing's gonna happen again.
- 25:33Speaker 2: Yeah rest of the NFL is Got a big one tonight.
- 25:41Speaker 1: Yeah, super Bowl rematch.
- 25:43Speaker 2: Yeah, we had to go it's a big one, you know I don't.
- 25:48Speaker 2: I have my conspiracy theory with the NFL.
- 25:51Speaker 2: Yeah, swifties, swifties, kelsey's, I think due to the advertising boom and you know all the new eyeballs that are on NFL right now there's no, gotta have the chief.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no way that the chiefs are not gonna be in the Super Bowl.
- 26:05Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just not.
- 26:07Speaker 2: It's not possible.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Well, it won't be because the dolphins man it's, they snuck out of way against the Raiders.
- 26:13Speaker 1: It doesn't matter in the NFL, I guess, but yeah.
- 26:17Speaker 1: Jaylin Ramsey, though two-picks, he's ridiculous man.
- 26:19Speaker 1: He's still got it, man he changes that defense.
- 26:23Speaker 2: He really does it's.
- 26:27Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, Niners took care of the Bucks.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Nothing there.
- 26:31Speaker 2: I was going to see if we could rock Perfect QB.
- 26:34Speaker 2: Ray Browns figured out a way to win.
- 26:37Speaker 1: They keep putting with defense.
- 26:38Speaker 1: Yeah, 13 to 10.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Dustin Hopkins with the game winner.
- 26:42Speaker 2: Bengals are, bengals are done I mean seasons over.
