  Speaker 1: This is college football with Stugatz and the Bear.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Now it's going time.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: T-Bob is with us. Wake up, Barstool.
• 0:09
  Speaker 4: And then at the time of greatest triumph, I want
• 0:12
  Speaker 4: to suck from the cup of their tears.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I want to watch their women.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: And children writhing on the ground. Everything that is precious
• 0:20
  Speaker 4: to Ole Miss, everything they pray for when they lay
• 0:22
  Speaker 4: their head down at night and they talk to their creator,
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: you want to take all of that and you want
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: to melt it in front of their faces and pour
• 0:29
  Speaker 4: it back down their throat and execute them.
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: I mean, who cares?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: What, are you kidding me?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: If I heard somebody utter those words, I would throw.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Them out the second story of the football lot. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: love you boys.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Episode number two of College Football with Stugatz and Bear.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: I am tempted to start this show by reading all
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: the text messages that Bear sent over the weekend in
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: our group text. I maintain, T-Bob, that nobody, nobody on
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: this Zoom loves anything more in their lives, and my
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: daughter is on this Zoom, than Bear loves college football.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, he is a college football dork of the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: highest order.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, it was great.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I felt bad. I felt like, you know, we're kind
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: of competing for that.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: And I got, I just got, I, he treated me
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: like college Simmons treated phase on Brandon, basically like bear
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: this weekend with that showing on Saturday, threw me to
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: the ground, whipped it out. It just pissed all over me.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: An unreal showing for bear. Absolutely locked in on a
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: big rank Saturday.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Dan landing.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Then I'm calling third leg Colin for nothing.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Dan Lanning, the Oregon coach, is going to join us
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: here in about 15 to 20 minutes. It was a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: great weekend of football, a great Saturday of college football.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: T-Bob, where do you want to start today?
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: Okay, so I want to start with Colin Simmons because
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: what we witnessed on Saturday in Knoxville is one of
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: the single greatest defensive performances that I have ever seen
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: out of an individual.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: Full stop. He was awesome.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Texas goes into tennessee insane environment they emerge with a
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: win bear i want to ask you this full sports
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: talky here do you emerge out of this feeling better
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: or worse about the texas longhorns.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I hate saying worse because sometimes you're gonna win ugly
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and winning ugly tells you a hell of a lot
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: more about a team than blowouts when you when you
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: face adversity and you're on the road a game that
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: you probably should have put away a long time prior
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to that. And you still come out ahead. That's a
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: big thing, but I don't know their offense for all
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: like cam Coleman. Mike was still waiting for him to
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: emerge into the guy that we all think he is.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Arch is still inconsistent. The running game is, is hit
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: and miss at best. If you look efficiency wise at
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: where their, their offense is right now, it's very reminiscent
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of what Oklahoma kind of looked like last year in
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the sec, great defense, but an offense that wasn't clicking.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Now look, Give him credit.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: You look at the schedule. There are two games that
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: they already have at the bank where they very easily
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: could have been projected to lose, and they've won them,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: so they're there. But you look at the odds moving forward.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: You look at the power ratings. If I asked you,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and Stu Goss, who probably still doesn't even remember, who
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Florida's offensive coordinator is. Who is the best team in
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the SEC and who should win the SEC? I think
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: most people are going to see Georgia, right?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Stu, prove him wrong. Prove him wrong, Stu. Who's the
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: OC for Florida? Well, I blurted out Philo. Is that right?
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Quarterback.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: The quarterback. You're adjacent there. I emerge the complete opposite.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: I'm falling in love with Texas. I think if you
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: want to be a championship team, you have to be
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: able to win in multiple ways.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: So I actually, I love two things.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: I love the fact that Arch didn't have to be
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Superman here because he had that moment. He had the
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: fourth quarter against Ohio State to beat the number one
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: team in the country. I love the fact that now Texas,
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: they're four and one in their last five games against
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: top ten teams. But as we pointed out, this was
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: where they struggled last year, going on the road in
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: conference against what I believe is a very good Tennessee
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: volunteer team. Craziest environment they'll find. They find a way
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: to win. I am loving what I saw to Texas. Stu,
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: you've been doing this for a long time.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Decades.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: You're the OG. Yes.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Do you think.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Colin Simmons' celebration, was that anatomically correct? Have you ever
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: seen anything like that?
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I haven't.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: We were talking about John Randall in the NFL on
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: all fours peeing after he would sack a quarterback. But, no,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything like that. They pulled him aside.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: They took him out of the game. He didn't do
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: it afterwards. Man, that would have been great if he
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: did it again, but he didn't do it. I'm just
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: confused as to how you walk away from that game.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Anything but impressed with Texas. The point of college football
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: these days is to make it to the playoff, and
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: the way you make it to the playoff is by
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: not stacking up three or four losses, and Texas so
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: far is undefeated.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I don't care how you win the game. I don't
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: care what the score is.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I don't care if we don't know whether or not
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Arch Manning is a good quarterback or not. I just
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: know Texas is 4-0 and undefeated, and they're on their
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: way to a playoff.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: That's it. You have to be impressed with that victory.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And they're on their way to 5-0 after the idle
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: week they have. oklahoma who's got their own problems come
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: but put it on the poll mikey better p celebration
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: elijah moore or colin simmons.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: That's right elijah moore as well.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: I think we can i think we can safely assume
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: from the celebration colin simmons not jewish i want to
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: talk about.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: A guy though what do you mean by that i really.
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: Last note in this game I kind of liked what
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I saw to face on Brandon. There's nothing to write
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: home about statistically.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: That's the freshman quarterback from Tennessee, but you want to
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: talk about being that age going against the man that
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: is Colin Simmons at that defense, getting your ass kicked
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: all day, getting hurt, coming back in the game, surviving,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: and then putting a ball into the end zone with
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: a chance to win. Like there's a lot to clean up,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: but if I'm a Tennessee fan, I'm feeling pretty good
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: about the future with, with Brandon under center there. All right.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: Let's keep it moving. The next guys. I tried to
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: tell you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: Are you ready for Kirk Ferentz in the playoffs?
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: There?
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I know you were upset, but.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Here it is.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Iowa gets it done.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Brown is facing down the big house at 91 yards.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Iowa finds a way to get the win.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: 7% postgame win expectancy.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: Good job. Yeah. I directed a lot of my angst
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: on the group thread this weekend towards Kyle Whittingham. And
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I think I am correct. Like, Did Iowa have like
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: 80 frigging yards offense? It's 10-7 in the third quarter.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: You got fourth and goal at the four. Anytime you
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: can kick the field goal and make a one-possession game,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: a one-possession game, you got to do it. Go for it.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: At worst, you're given an offense that can't move the
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: ball against air so far. The ball at the four-yard line,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: and you're still up 10-7 at worst. At best, you
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: score a touchdown. You're up 17-7. And the game is
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: over at that point. Like that was a, that was
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: caveman football at its finest. I sent out some mathematical
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: stuff earlier, some analytical stuff for some people that like
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: that kind of shit. But like the, if you go
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: for it on fourth and fourth down from the four
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: yard line and in like since 2021, it's like an 85%
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: win percentage, regardless of whether you get it or not.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: And for those that kick the field goal, It's like
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: a 71% win percentage, whether you get it or if
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: you kick the field goal and you make it or
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: miss it, which you made it every time. But yeah, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: bad job by Kyle Weddingham in Michigan. What that was, yes,
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: that was a lot of bads.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: That means he feels like Kyle Whittingham should be on
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: the hot seat. That was karma for Western Michigan. That's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: what that game was. What comes around goes around. I mean,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: that is a conference. Act like you've been there before.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, for him to cry like he just won
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a national championship walking off the field in Michigan.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: What do you mean give him a break? I don't
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: want to give him a break. Congratulations. You're 4-0.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Can't believe we won that way again by just punting
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: and kicking and other teams giving us the... It's so wonderful.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Phil Parker is a genius.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: That's the exact reason why... Oh, sorry, Taylor. Real quick, though.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: That's the exact reason why he kicked the field goal, though,
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: is you say caveman football, you're going against the caveman.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: In no world did anyone think that Iowa was going
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: 91 yards in.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Less than two minutes. And the thing is... They did
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: it really. They sucked that whole tribe. Yes.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: With 11 seconds left, they're still sitting at the 50.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: They've been dumping it, getting tackled in bounds, and then
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: they just think Hank Brown finds a way, tip balls.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Everything else.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: That's what those tears were for, T-Bob.
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Kirk Ferentz couldn't believe his eyes that he saw his
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: team drive 91 yards downfield.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: That was the first time in decades, it feels like.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: So he was emotional because his team finally did something
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: he had no idea, never imagined.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: He didn't know they were capable of it.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: Yes. See, I kind of emerged on the other side
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: where I think he was just overall mostly the moment.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: He's going to get in the film room, and he's
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: going to be a little upset because that's too much throwing.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: If you're Iowa, you cannot attack downfield like that. It's
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: too risky.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: Potential for interception was huge. He's going to make sure
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: they get that right going forward. But again, guys, Ohio
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: State this weekend, Bear. But fair to say, after that,
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Iowa will be favored immediately.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: In every single game until the end of the year?
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: You'd assume so, but it's going to be close enough
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: where the variance is still going to be pretty high
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: for a team that is really offensively challenged. I want
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: to talk about Michigan, though. There's a really good chance
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: that this team's going to be sitting at three and four.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, they're favorite at Minnesota, but it's clear they
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: don't trust their quarterback. So they could lose to anybody.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: So you go on the road, you lose in Minnesota
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: this week. You got Penn State and Indiana coming up
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: after that. You could very easily be sitting three, four,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: and dare I say, Might it be over at Michigan
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: for Kyle Whittingham, and he doesn't even know it yet?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: He's got it out for Whittingham.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: He really does.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: By the way, were you guys shocked? Iowa's quarterback, his
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: name is Hank Brown. Were you shocked that we're still
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: making Hanks?
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Henry.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, the last Hank I spoke to was Hank Goldberg.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was probably a few years ago, unless you
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: got some karmic sense within you. If you do, let
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: me know. I need a winner for the Breeders' Cup.
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: That's an Iowa-ass quarterback name, though. Monosyllabic Hank Brown. That's
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: just fundamental All-American.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Football right there. They should just call him Hank. Is
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: it fair to say, Bear, was this Bryce Underwood's best
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: ever game?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: It probably was. And a loss. I mean, yeah, they
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: did have a bad pick early in the game, but
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: in terms of his numbers, it was pretty good. And
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: they still didn't win. Amazing.
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Michigan, again, karmic justice, whatever you want to say,
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: I think Michigan's in trouble.
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: And it all goes back to Underwood. You know who's
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: not in trouble? Who?
• 11:28
  Speaker 4: A team that is fully backed just like that. The
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Florida Gators.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Are back.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm. John Sumrall already gets his signature win first year.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: He's now got a top five win to the name.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: We all talked about the intangibles of Trinidad Chambliss. I
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: can't bet against that. How do you stand up to that? Well,
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: you know how you can? With Jaden Ball, the best
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: running back in the entire country, combined with maybe the
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: best OC, a great O-line, and a quarterback in Aaron
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: Filo that can do enough there.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: We see a lot of preseason favorites implode every year.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: I feel like it's rare that we see the resurrection
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: of a true giant.
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: Cause that's what Florida is. They're not a good story.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Like they are immediately relevant to the championship picture.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Right. And we saw it last year with, with Miami,
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: certainly after the winning against Notre Dame, uh, resurrecting and
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: getting to the title game in Florida could be that
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: team this year. It will be interesting to see how
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: John Summerall on that team handles the I don't want
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: to say adversity, but the challenge this week. They are
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: in essentially the same position Ole Miss was a week ago.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: You beat Lane Kiffin, you beat LSU, you got to
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: go on the road and handle a really good Florida team.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Florida obviously got the win. Now Florida's got to go
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: on the road. And granted, Missouri's a little different animal.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: The next time Eli Drinkwitz and Missouri actually beat somebody
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: good will be the first time, at least in the
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: regular season. But can Florida now go on the road
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: off of that emotional win? I think they can. You
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: got a running game like that. You got a defensive
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: line like that. Those two things travel. And it's an
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: interesting theme, guys. Like, how much does coaching matter? You
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: look at John Sumrall at Florida. You look at James
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Franklin at Virginia Tech. You look at Bob Chesney at UCLA.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: All three of those teams now undefeated after making some
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: coaching changes in what's proven to be a couple of really,
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: really good hires.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes you wonder what Billy Napier was doing, right?
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, recruiting all those guys.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: I was going to say, one thing Napier did do, like,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: he knew how to get talent there.
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: For whatever reason, he just couldn't get them to win.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: But, like, they are a stacked team.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: 4-0, I believe, with James Madison right now. So give
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: him a little bit of credit. He's doing a good
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: job at JMU.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I'll do it at Florida. Well, they called him
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Sunbelt Billy. That's great.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: On a tee for you.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: Do it in the SEC.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to give him credit. Bear,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: can you explain this for a second? Because me and
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Taylor were confused, or at least I was. Why was
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: Florida three and a half point favorites in that game?
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: I took Mississippi, even though the guys on college game
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: day said, stay away from this game. You said, stay
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: away from this game. And I still took Mississippi because
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I believe in that quarterback.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Because it was the squarest play on the board and
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the odds maker. And Summerill joked about it, about the,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: the drug, the really good drugs that they were on
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: in Vegas. But I even said, yeah, they might be,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: there might be some really good drugs in Vegas. However,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: they're really good at their jobs. They know that Florida
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: was the most positively adjusted team in the country. They
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: were adjusted like seven or eight points from their preseason number.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: They knew the emotional spot for Ole Miss was a
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: dangerous one. And let me throw this at you just
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: to kind of kick around a little bit. While we
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: all love Trinidad Chambliss, maybe Ole Miss was just kind
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: of a little bit high, a little bit, I don't
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: want to say overrated, but maybe we thought a little
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: bit too much about them going into that game. Yes,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: they beat LSU in that game where they got emotionally
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: sky high, and maybe they could have beaten maybe anybody
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: that day. The Louisville win, which I thought was a
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: good win at the time, certainly Louisville going against Wake
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: Forest last week at home and losing, that doesn't look
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: like As good of a win. The Ole Miss defense
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: looked dreadful against Portland. Maybe Ole Miss just isn't as
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: good as maybe we also thought they were and had
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: an opportunity there to take advantage of it.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Why are you making a face there, T-Bub?
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: I can't fully get there. I have to give Ole
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: Miss credit. I think Wake Forest, that beat Louisville, Wake
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: Forest is pretty good. They won nine games. Dickert's a
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: great coach. They won nine games of the bowl game
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: last year. They played Miami very tough.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: Yes, I got this from Mikey A. yesterday, by the way,
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: after the fact. I didn't know he was that guy.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: This is after I already made the picks to God's.
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: You got to stop picking against Wake Forest. And I'm like, hey,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: you're that guy? You should have told me that on
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: the front end.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: He's got that hindsight 2020 look to him.
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: I think the story is less about Ole Miss being
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: overrated and more about we're still just waking up to
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: how good Florida is. Like the majority of offenses will
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: not be able to put that Ole Miss defense in
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: a bind with Like, like the Gators are.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: Able to do.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Also, I mean, Ole Miss is, we could take away
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: for Louisville losing, but LSU went out and dominated Texas
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: A & M.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: So like, so that's a, that's a win for Ole
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Miss that, that, that, that looks good.
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: And, and I cannot say enough guys about Jaden Ball and, and,
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: and what he can do in this offense, where it's,
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: it's almost like. modern day pro style, like triple option,
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: like wing T sort of attack. There's so much misdirection.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: They make you guard the entire field. They, the, the
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: O-line is huge.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: They're excellent.
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: Some of those Florida uniforms just make O-linemen look more
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: bad-ass and, and ball. He wears no gloves, just wrist tape.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: He's got patience and he's like a, He's like a
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: boxer back there, man. He's just buying his time. He's
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: taking body shots. He hits you with the haymakers like
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: he has a gravitational pull on the football field where
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: everything revolves around. And my question is, if you get
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: out to a lead on Florida. And if they have
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: to play catch-up in a game, can Philo do it?
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: If you can manage to somehow force them away from ball,
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: that is how.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: I see them potentially losing.
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: But it's going to be rare, I think, the team
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: that's going to be able to make them answer that question.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: And can that type of workload for a running back
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: continue all year long in the SEC against that schedule?
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I mean, they got Texas-Georgia in consecutive games. They got
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: the Idol week after they go to Texas before the
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: cocktail party. Wow, he had number one, number two in
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: consecutive games. But they can now– you never want to
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: lose a game, but even if they lose those two games,
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: they're going to finish 10-2. They're going to be in
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the playoff.
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, 10-2 gets you in.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: If you're in the SEC or the Big Ten, it
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: would be incredibly rare that 10-2 would not get you in.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: We mentioned LSU in the blowout win. How– you never
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: want to– no, I'm not going to say that. No,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: we're going to pat ourselves on the back for that.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: You can do it too, T-Bob. How about A & M, man? Wow,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: they are everything we kind of thought they were. Yeah.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Not good.
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: I mean, you get a lot wrong doing this, but
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: every now and then you get something right. And I'm sorry,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: you lose five offensive linemen to the NFL. I mean,
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: an entire O-line goes to the NFL. You're going to
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: struggle that next year.
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: Especially when you have a quarterback that already struggled in
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: the context of having a great running game, having a
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: great defense, having a great O-line. You take away those
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: three elements, and now Marcel Reed, I mean, he just,
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: he's worse than we thought.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: He's worse than we thought. He looked completely hapless.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Just going back to Florida for a second, it's odd
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: that you would question an OC like Buster Faulkner and
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: his ability to bring a team back if indeed that
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: team was down.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: That Florida team is talented. That team is very, very good.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: They beat a really good Mississippi team coming off an
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: LSU victory.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Guys, correct me if I'm wrong. We all agree on this, right?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Because when you see the Swamp, right, and you see
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: those uniforms, some of the nicest uniforms, jerseys in the country,
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: on a perfectly clear day and on a cloud in
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: the sky in Gainesville, When Florida's good, Miami's good, Florida
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: State is good. When those three schools, when the Florida
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: schools are good, college football.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Is better, right?
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: You're taking me back to, like, the cover of, like,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: the 1988 Sports Illustrated, I think it was, where, like,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: all the Florida teams, the Florida, the showcase of college football.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I forget exactly what year. Well, at least we got
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: two of the three right this year.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: I'll say this.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: The Swamp, loudest, toughest environment. I ever played in. That
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: was the Tebow era. It's built to hold in the sound.
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: They're right on top of you. I love seeing the
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: swamp come alive again. We're going to talk to coach
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: landing in a second. That Oregon game, man, balls to the,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: like a true nut-cutting test for the Ducks. They got
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: to go to the Coliseum. They are in a battle.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Dante Moore gets knocked out with.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: A cheap shot.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: And here comes Dilla Raiola, the former number one recruit
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: in the entire country. He plays great. I thought Oregon
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: proved something this weekend, man.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: I had a lot of questions about their toughness, their lines.
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: They go out there.
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: They get the 41-27 win. Grats to Oregon and the Ducks.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Let's talk.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: To Coach Dan Lanning about it here on the College
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Football Show with Stu Gotson-Bear. We are joined by a
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: very special guest on Victory Monday.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: That's Oregon Duck head coach Dan Lanning. Coach Lanning, what's up, man?
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: How are we doing today?
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Doing good. Appreciate you guys having.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Me.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: Coach, so you made headlines after the other night.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: During the postgame, big win, 41-27, really close in emphatic fashion.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: And you let them know a little bit. Look, you
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: want to win games? You come to Oregon. You want
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: to go to a Chris Brown concert?
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Sure.
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Go to USC.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: What was the, like with a line like that, do
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: you know you're going to deliver that going into the conference?
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: Or does that just happen mid-presser?
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: I mean, not completely. I was being a little petty.
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: I was probably a little frustrated with, you know, just
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: things throughout the game. I was on, I was kind
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: of amped and excited and yeah, I felt like delivering.
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: a little bit of a shot. We took some shots
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: in the offseason, felt like it was time to deliver
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: a shot back when it mattered most.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: A little international love song there.
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I dropped a little Chris Brown analogy.
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: I like Chris Brown. That's the part that people can't...
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Don't mistake that for me not liking his music.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: I'm not on vacation, though. We're playing football.
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: There's a difference.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Do you have an update? I mean, some people may
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: have seen an update last night that you guys released. Dante,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: is he okay? Is he going to be okay? That's
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: obviously what I think everyone's.
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, thank God that, you know, obviously it's a very
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: serious concussion. It's one that, you know, that we want
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: to use. And I want to thank our medical staff
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: and USC's medical staff for everybody operating with an abundance
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: of caution, you know, was able to go through some
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: scans and evaluate that right now nothing more than a concussion.
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: But obviously it's the kind of guy that wants to
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: get back out there and play football immediately. And what
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: he has to have is a reset. And we got
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: to make sure that he's healthy before we see him
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: out there. So almost protecting the player from himself. right,
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: in some sense. But thank God he's doing good, awake, alert,
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: doing okay. And obviously it's a scary moment for everybody,
• 22:54
  Speaker 5: but it looks like he's going to be okay.
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: Coach, after that first half, after a hit like that,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: you're losing your best player. What do you tell your
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: team at halftime of that game?
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's really important in that moment that
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: we remind our guys this game has to be played
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: between the whistles. And, you know, our guys were emotional.
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: It took a reset for our team where we had to,
• 23:13
  Speaker 5: you know, and refigure, okay, how are we going to
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: attack this thing moving forward? And there was a lot
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: of energy expended, especially right after the injury of our
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: guys on the sideline. Guys juiced up, you know, and
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: we got to make sure that that happens. When the
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: whistle's blown, right, we got to be able to execute
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: between the whistles. And I thought our guys did an
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: outstanding job of that.
• 23:34
  Speaker 4: Coach, Dylan Ryola, you know, big, big recruit coming out
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: of high school.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: It was a massive deal when he goes to Nebraska.
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: He does a very Dante Moore-esque decision. Says, you know what?
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: I need to take a step back. Maybe I need
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: to go learn and see what I'm about. And have
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: you talked to him after the game? What have you
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: seen out of him? Like, did you think that he
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: would be ready for this moment?
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Called in last second. He really came through.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: It was like 19 at 25, threw his yards, two tuds.
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: He played better than you could ever hope your backup
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: would play in that scenario.
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he was outstanding.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: And that's part of the reason he's here. You know,
• 24:09
  Speaker 5: I think it shows unbelievable maturity for him to say, OK,
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: I want to take the opportunity to go and learn.
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: And he has.
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: But he's worked every single week as if he's the
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: guy that's going to go in and play every single snap.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: And obviously the indication of that is how we play.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: And even even within that, there's growth moments for him.
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: There's plays that, OK, we need to if we had
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: this play back, how would we how would we operate?
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: What would our decision be here? But I thought he
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: showed unbelievable poise, really focused in the moment. He cares
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: for Dante as much as anybody on this team. He
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: didn't want to go out there and play well for.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Him, and he did.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: Every week, I know, it's 1-0, 1-0, 1-0. But after
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: the loss to Oklahoma State, did you look at the
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: schedule and you kind of played it out in, like,
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: this USC game is an absolute must-win for us or
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: else we leave ourselves zero margin forever? Was that– Was
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: there a sense in the planning that we really need
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: to go out and get this win and everything has
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: to be focused on beating USC to put ourselves in
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: a position to get back to the playoff like most
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: people thought Oregon was going to be before the year.
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: So I thought that Oregon came with the fewest amount
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: of questions coming into the country, coming into the season,
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: and a little stumble early. But we've seen teams stumble
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: before early on and then want to make it a
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: hell of a run late in the season. Look at
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame a couple of years ago, made it all
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: the way to the title game after losing to Northern Illinois.
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think we show some examples of
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: our team of that exact thing. You know, obviously, it's
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: a wake up call for us early. And we 100
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: percent felt like this is a game that we needed
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: to win.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 25:34
  Speaker 5: And we feel like that with every game that we
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: step into. I don't know how far looking ahead. I
• 25:38
  Speaker 5: think what we did more than anything is stop looking
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: ahead and start looking at what's right in front of us. And,
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: you know, our guys knew, OK, there's things that we
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: can fix. There's things that we can attack. And we experienced,
• 25:48
  Speaker 5: you know, a good team in Oklahoma State. Obviously, I
• 25:50
  Speaker 5: think they continue to prove that they're a good team.
• 25:53
  Speaker 5: But we can play better than what we played. And
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: even from Saturday's result, we can be better than we
• 25:58
  Speaker 5: played on Saturday. So that's the goal is how do
• 26:00
  Speaker 5: we continue to improve? How do we look at what's
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: right in front of us? We're going to face some
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: really good teams as we keep moving. Obviously, UCLA is
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: rolling right now. Nebraska. We're going to have a lot
• 26:10
  Speaker 5: of teams ahead of us. that are playing really good football,
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: which means we have to keep getting better and keep
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: playing great ball.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Coach, you have coached in so many big games throughout
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: your career, and I think that's the most emotional I've
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: ever seen you in a game coaching from start to finish.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Is that fair? Yeah.
• 26:30
  Speaker 5: I've been emotional before.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: No, I know you're an emotional guy. But that one
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: meant something just because of the hit and the nature
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: of everything that was happening. And you needed a victory.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: And so I just felt like you were extra emotional
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: on your game, you know?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, I needed a reset probably just like the
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: players did.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, I was emotional, man.
• 26:49
  Speaker 5: I still feel like players are going to match your
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: intensity as a coach, right, and what you deliver as
• 26:54
  Speaker 5: a coach. And I want to coach with emotion because
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: I want to see our guys play with emotion.
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: Coach, one thing that I really enjoyed reading about this
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: offseason with y'all was the Harada method, right? This is
• 27:06
  Speaker 4: famously what Shohei Otani used. It's like a goal-setting Japanese
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: system to help you achieve your goals, right? And so
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: what I've been wondering since the stumble, does the method–
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: is there anything for dealing with setbacks, right? Like responding
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: to adversity. Or is that more of a preseason thing?
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: You put that away and I've been here before.
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: I know how to teach this.
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: No, I mean, it's 100%. You know, I think what
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: we talked about is our focus can't be on the
• 27:34
  Speaker 5: telescope goal of what's in the middle of that board, right?
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: Our focus has to be on all the small details
• 27:39
  Speaker 5: on the outside of that board. And, you know, within
• 27:41
  Speaker 5: that's emotional control, within that's character, within that's growth, right?
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: So I think that's what more than anything in the
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: Harada method, we redirected our focus on these pieces that
• 27:50
  Speaker 5: are on the outside and And that stuff that's in
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: the middle, it doesn't matter until we do what? Take
• 27:54
  Speaker 5: care of the business on the outside of that board.
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: How smart do you think I am? The Harada method?
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: I'm learning something every day.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: It's a middle school Japanese track coach made up this
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: system that Shohei uses and Coach Lanning brought it over
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: to the Ducks this offseason, dude.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: It's badass.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: It's actually– it's like if you look it up, it's
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: something that everybody can apply to their life and it
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: would lead to probably like a more successful version of yourself.
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: We're just big believers in– anything you write down and
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: you establish as a goal, right. And you have it,
• 28:25
  Speaker 5: you know, for me, I've always been a goal setter.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: I put it in front of you, challenge yourself to
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: attack it every single day. It's the same sort of
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: thought process. It's almost like a vision board. That's keeping
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: you on track with what you're trying to attack and
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: what you're trying to improve.
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: Hmm.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Bear, you were not alone there. I was also thinking
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: what the hell are these two talking about?
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: Just so you.
• 28:41
  Speaker 5: Know, I'll shoot you a text afterwards.
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: The best part of being a college football coach is
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: you have this massive victory on Saturday coaching. Now you
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: get to enjoy a little Monday, a bye week. And
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: how do you get to celebrate? By going to talk
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: to a bunch of hard-bodied teens at local high schools.
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: How we feeling, dude? We got to be fired up
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: to hit the high school circuit this week.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: It's a good week to be recruiting for sure. We
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: got some work to do before we do that. We'll
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: get on the road Thursday and go see some guys.
• 29:13
  Speaker 5: I told our players just this morning, we just had
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: a meeting, right? And I just said, hey, look, the
• 29:18
  Speaker 5: reward for a job well done is the opportunity to
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: do more work.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: So that's what we got ahead of us, man, is
• 29:23
  Speaker 5: an opportunity to do more work. And then obviously recruiting
• 29:25
  Speaker 5: is a big piece of that. And we'll attack it.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: In terms of recruiting. Now, I don't want to put
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: any words in your mouth or positions to be recruiting,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: but Oregon might be turning into the new tight end
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: U with Sadiq having an unbelievable start to the season
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: for the Jets. It might be offensive rookie of the year.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: And has USC figured out how to cover Jamari Johnson yet?
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: Jamari's a great player. And you're right. Our tight ends
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: have always performed since we've been here. You know, going
• 29:49
  Speaker 5: back to T-Ferg, Pat Herbert, right? Kenny Sadiq. Obviously, Jamari's
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: carrying that torch right now. And he's a special player
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: when he's out there. I'm glad he was able to
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: make his presence known on the field. on Saturday and
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: continue to see big things from him.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: Coach, could you ever imagine yourself wiping a player's face
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: and there's blood on the face and then you have
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: blood on, you have his blood on your hands and
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: then you wipe it on your face.
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: Could you ever see yourself?
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: You talked about matching intensity before. Could you ever envision
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Dan Lanning doing that to himself?
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: I text PJ. I saw that we're good friends with PJ.
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: And obviously sometimes we have to compete against each other.
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: I got so much respect for him, but I text
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: him later on. Hey man, you're my spirit animal.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: We're headed there for big noon this week. I might
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: have to see if we can do a little demo
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: on the field. Maybe I can get on the demo
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: field with like Brady or Matt or something or Mark
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: and exchange a little blood and wipe a little war
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: paint on each other.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: Coach, I got to ask you about something that was
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: making the rounds a couple of weeks ago because it
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: ties like very uniquely into self-scouting, being a coach. But
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: it was the whole ordeal with Dante tipping.
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Plays, right?
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: But before they were run, how did you all handle
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: that internally? And do you agree with what everybody was saying?
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: I agree that there's some things that showed up that
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: we could certainly be cleaner at. I'd say all teams
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: have tendencies, right? Sometimes you try to utilize those tendencies.
• 31:17
  Speaker 5: I think it's something that we're aware of and we
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: could coach at a higher level and a degree. Do
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: I think that every team that we've played has been
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: able to feed off of that and use that? No,
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: absolutely not. We're pretty tuned in. And a lot of
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: times you have conversation with teams, especially non-conference teams afterwards. Hey,
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: what'd you have on us? You know, what, here's what
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: we had on you and try to communicate and share
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: that stuff. So, We talked to Oklahoma State after that game.
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: They had more tells based on some of our offensive
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: linemen throughout the game, more so than any of those looks.
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: But is it something we can coach?
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: 100%.
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: Can we do a better job there? Absolutely. Something we've
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: been conscientious of. But to say that that's been the
• 31:53
  Speaker 5: big piece that's affecting how people play us, I disagree
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: with that.
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: When does Ducks versus them drop? I can't wait to
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: see it this week.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: Believe it or not, I don't make that video. I'll
• 32:03
  Speaker 5: watch it before it gets released, but it should be
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: coming out soon.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: You have final say on that? It's all of it?
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: Yes, of course.
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm going to look at it and see what's
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: on it. I'll probably have to remove some stuff. Maybe
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: we leave some stuff in there. We'll see.
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: For those who are unfamiliar with what I'm talking about,
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: they have probably the best hype video ever. cinematic recap
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: of any team out there. I, my favorite one, I
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: mentioned this to coach last year when he was on.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Bear Betts was recreating the scene from Gladiator at the
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: big house a couple of years ago, just watching the
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: stadium empty out as they were blowing at him. It
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: was awesome.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: Coach, just going back to the hit for a second,
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: and I apologize because I know you want to get
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: away from it. I'm just wondering, the hit was bad.
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: The reaction on the sidelines was bad. Does Lincoln Riley
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: say anything to you in that moment or after the
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: game just about how his team acted and he'll take
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: care of it afterwards?
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: Lincoln and I talked right after the game. He was
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: very concerned about Dante. You know, I got a lot
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: of respect for Lincoln. So I want to make sure
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: that that's clear that he was, you know, he had
• 33:07
  Speaker 5: concern about it. I didn't see a lot of behavior
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: just like, and I'm not shocked. You don't, you're so
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: focused in the moment. You might not see everything that's
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: happening around you. And that's where you count on the
• 33:15
  Speaker 5: people around you to be able to help you out
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: in that moment. So there's no doubt in my mind that,
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: you know, Coach Riley will handle any of those things,
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: you know, internally and, ultimately his concern was for the player.
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: I know he hates to see that, just like I
• 33:28
  Speaker 5: would hate to see that for my team.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Yes. Coach, what about this?
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: Y'all's toughness out of these first few games was being
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: called into question, right? Coming into the year, you had
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: the incredible D-lines, O-lines. Maybe their performance had left a
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: bit to be desired early on. Is that maybe the single–
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: Is that the biggest area that somebody could attack in
• 33:53
  Speaker 4: terms of pissing off Coach Dan Lanning and wanting to
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: show an immediate response when people say they're not tough enough?
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, I could really care less about the opinions
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: of others because I get to see it every single
• 34:05
  Speaker 5: day in practice. But anytime we get to use it
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: as motivation, I'm not going to shy away from the
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: opportunity to utilize it. That's for sure.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Coach, so what does this bye week look like? What's
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: the schedule to make sure that everybody's legs are ready
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: for what is going to be just a hurtling down
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: the train tracks finish here to the rest of this season?
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we got an eight-game stretch coming out of this
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: bye week, so we got to be smart about how
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: we operate. Today is really a recovery day, corrections day,
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: putting this game to bed, and then we're going to
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: start focusing on ourself. The next couple days, we'll have
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: some practices to focus on ourself, where we need to grow.
• 34:41
  Speaker 5: And then we'll get an opportunity to get a little
• 34:43
  Speaker 5: bit of a jump on UCLA because obviously they're playing
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: really good football as well. So it doesn't get any
• 34:48
  Speaker 5: easier moving forward.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: We just came off a big game, but that one's over.
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: It's about the next one. This week is going to
• 34:53
  Speaker 5: be about the Ducks. Right. What things can we add
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: on both sides of the ball to make us improve?
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: What things can we do better? What are our strengths?
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: What are our weaknesses and how do we attack it?
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: And we're going to have a great week of work.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: And as we attack that work, hopefully we see the
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: fruits of our labor here as we continue the season.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Are you getting any Outback Steakhouse this week?
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: Doubtful.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, doubtful.
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: No Outback Steakhouse, but I'll probably get to see my
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: kids a little bit, which will be awesome.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: That's a good thing.
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: Why no Outback? Why no steak? What's going on?
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: I love Outback. I don't love going out to eat.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: I used to work at Outback. That's why T-Bob breaks
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: it up.
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: You've never seen Coach Lanning's tattoo. The Outback story, it
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: is a true modern American romance for the ages.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: Outback Steakhouse used to be our Friday night go-to. Early
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: mid-90s when I started at ESPN and game day wasn't
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: on the road every week, every Friday night we would
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: go to Outback, myself and some other researchers and producers,
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: Alice Springs chicken, Bloomin' Onion, Walkabout Soup, we were good
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: to go.
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: Be honest, Barry, you ever have a Wallaby Darn?
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: No, no.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: Oh, you're missing out, man. I could give you the
• 36:02
  Speaker 5: whole menu, man. But like Wallaby Darn sounds like a
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: girl drink. So I would always get the Wallaby Darn
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: because it is. It's kind of a girl drink, but
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: it's delicious, right? Then I'd get a big Foster's right
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: beside it to kind of offset. A big old Foster's
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: beside it. But yeah, when I was a server, right,
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: back in the day, you could get, you know, your table,
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: a sample of Wallaby Darn, right? You'd be like, hey,
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: you're trying to upsell. You're like, oh, you want that
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: steak with a blue cheese crust?
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: Would you like a wallaby darn? And you could go
• 36:31
  Speaker 5: to the bar and you get a sample. So I'd
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: go to the bar, I'd get a sample. And then
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: I'd go back and just. Growing up a little bit
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: since then. That's the kind of thing you do when
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: you're in college. Most underrated menu item, in my opinion. Yes.
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: Prime rib. Yeah.
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 36:50
  Speaker 5: I do primary. They don't do it every day. They
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: used to do it every day when I was there.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: But prime ribs. And then you ask for them to
• 36:54
  Speaker 5: season and sear the prime rib.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: There is nothing better in the world. So those are
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: my recommendations.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: All right. The next time we have you on, I
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: would like you to go through the entire.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: Outback menu since you haven't committed to memory, okay?
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: Absolutely.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: All right, man.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: Coach, thank you so much for doing this. We appreciate it.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I know you have to run. We have to run
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: as well. But congratulations on the victory and congratulations on
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: all your success here.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Good luck to you moving forward, man. We appreciate the time.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: Alright guys, welcome back. Always love getting to sit down
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: with Coach Dan Lanning.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: He's so sincere.
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: He's so locked in. He's still making time for the boys.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: He's still talking about Wallaby Darby's.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: What was it? Wallaby Darby's?
• 37:56
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: Whatever.
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: I'm going to get one though. This weekend in honor
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: of Coach, I'm going to get one.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Set the tone.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: Bear, going forward, Oregon, we declared the dead... Now they
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: feel alive again. They've got a crazy schedule. Now that
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: we're like a quarter in, where do you sit on
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: the Oregon Ducks? They were my preseason national championship pick.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I feel a hell of a lot better about Oregon
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: than I did after that Oklahoma State game, that's for sure.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: I mentioned to Coach about looking at the schedule, and
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I know they're not going to go ahead and look
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: all the way down, but if they would have lost
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: that game in S8, you were putting yourself in a
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: position to win out, which means winning in Columbus at
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Ohio State. or else you're looking at 9-3 and probably
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: out of the playoff. But now you're sitting here with
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: the one loss. You've got the idle week. You've got
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: UCLA coming to your house. You have what could very
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: well be an interesting reunion-type game against Nebraska if Dante
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: Moore is still unable to play. Dylan Iola against his
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: old team, an Illinois team, whose pass defense is terrible,
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: which I saw firsthand on Saturday. And the rest of
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: the way, it looks– Very, very doable, like 10-2 could
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: absolutely be a baseline for Oregon. It looks like right now,
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: if I were putting a yes-no price on the Ducks
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: making the playoffs, yes would certainly be the favorite.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: And what would you say about USC? Because the big
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: story there is they lose that game. Their schedule is
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: tough the rest of the way. I think they have
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, they have Indiana on that schedule. Everyone's saying
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: this is the best team Lincoln Riley has had since
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: he's been at USC.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: I think he's an overrated coach.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: So what do you guys think about USC and their
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: chances to make the playoffs?
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: I would say they have no chance of making the playoffs.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think the record now is
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: 5-16 in his last 21 games against ranked teams and
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: 2-9 maybe at USC if I remember off the top
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: of my head. And I was writing down a whole
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: bunch of things about some things never change. Jeremiah Smith
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: is still arguably the best player in college football. Arch
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Banning is still inconsistent. Michigan and Oklahoma have offensive problems.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, USC still doesn't have a defense.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: And we saw that on Saturday night.
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: Yes.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: But UCLA at the end of the year is going
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: to be tough. They've got to go to Penn State
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: in the whiteout game. Wisconsin looks like a rejuvenated team.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Eight and four seems like a cap year for USC,
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: given their youth and how poor I think their defenses
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: keep up.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Well, and Bear, I think you said it perfectly coming
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: into the game. On our first show, you said, if
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: not now, when? And then the starting quarterback goes down.
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: So then it's really, if not now, when.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: So I feel like we can answer the question.
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: Never. It's never.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: It ain't happening. So, yeah, Stinkin' Lincoln, get him out
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: of here. Right now he's making over a milli per win. Yep.
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: to empty the Simmons clip here in honor of Colin Simmons.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: Let's just let it all out on the floor.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Cover your eyes, everybody.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: Maybe the one game that we haven't talked about yet,
• 41:09
  Speaker 4: Mississippi State guys got a ranked win, I believe for
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: the first time since 2012.
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: And I love how they did it.
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: Mizzou Bear with the lead late and Kamario Taylor, the
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: young phenom superstar, forced to come from behind and and
• 41:24
  Speaker 4: has two touchdown drives to close out that game. I mean,
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: this guy is freaking unbelievable.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: And now can they snap the 16-game losing streak against Alabama?
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: Only two of those games have been decided by single digits.
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: But what was even– you mentioned Cabrillo. What was, I think,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: not on the bingo card for a lot of people–
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: was two really good defensive stands. They bent a little bit,
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: but they did not allow Missouri into the end zone
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: on a couple of occasions where Missouri either sent the
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: game to overtime or maybe gone for two on the win.
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: So Mississippi State is a story moving forward. I was
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: a little surprised Alabama was a six-and-a-half-point favorite moving forward,
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: but Keelan Russell, Kamario Taylor this weekend, get your popcorn out, boys.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Keelan Russell's a bit of a blind spot for
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: me still.
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: Alabama has not commanded main screen on any Saturday yet.
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: I have them in one of the boxes off to
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: the side and watch them struggle with Kentucky. Okay, they
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: end up blowing them out. Watch them mess around with
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: Florida State. They end up blowing them out. But all
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: reports are that, yeah, Keelan Russell.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: This is the most.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: Washington Kalen DeBoer that an Alabama football team has looked at.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: Now, I don't know if that's good or bad.
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: Like, I don't know if that's going to make an
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: Alabama fan happy, but maybe finally this team starting to
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: resemble Kalen DeBoer a bit more.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Bear, I'll start with you real quick. Now, I have
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: a question, Bear. I'm sorry to cut you off. I
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: know you guys are dorking out on Alabama, but I
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: have to cut you off here. Bear, I'll start with you.
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: How do you guys feel about cowbells? Because cowbells is
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: the word I was trying to say.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: I hate them. I can't stand them.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: Really?
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: You like them?
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: They're annoying.
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: Enough.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, seriously. Enough of the cowbells. Seriously. I lost
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: mine and I'm so upset. What do you mean you
• 43:13
  Speaker 3: lost yours?
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: They gave us cowbells when we went to the Auburn-Mississippi
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: State game in 2014. And somehow in transit. desk moving,
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: house moving, somewhere along the way, my cowbell is no
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: longer with me.
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: So you love it so much that you lost it, right?
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: I had it right now.
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: I would be going crying. I'm just like this.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: But your money and wallet was still intact, but the
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: cowbell was gone. Yeah. To me, cowbells are, they're like
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: yell leaders.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: They're, they're not for me.
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: They're objectively a bit much, but they are also representative
• 43:57
  Speaker 4: of what makes college football so fun and so weird
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: and so quirky.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: And that was a very SEC West comment. There's going
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: off on the yell leaders going off on the cow.
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: It's not for me.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: But it is for someone out there and we like
• 44:15
  Speaker 4: traditions and, and I, 50,000 cowbells? I played in like
• 44:20
  Speaker 4: a Thursday night primetime game against Mississippi State, but they
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: were pretty good.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: And that gets loud, dude.
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: It gets loud.
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: So shout out.
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: Hale State, they never have anything. Let's be happy for
• 44:29
  Speaker 4: them for.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: A little bit.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Pretty peaceful. I'm sorry.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: But not the yell leaders. The yell leaders suck, dude.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: I mean, my God, dude. Well, I think the problem
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: is they may suck each other.
• 44:38
  Speaker 5: Did you see Bear after the.
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: After the LSU interception, them going and clowning the Yale
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: leaders in their celebration?
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, they did. What's going on there, Baton Rouge?
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: But nobody wants to talk about it. Yeah, everybody's hurt.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: It sucks.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: But LSU beat the hell out of Texas.
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: A & M.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: So why do we want to talk about it? It
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: wasn't a close game. I don't know. They dropped in
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: the rankings. Nobody cares. They beat A & M 35-6.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Everybody's like, nah, they suck.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: Florida was great, and Florida moved up. and jumped everybody.
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: That's ultimately what happened.
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: Let's wrap it up on this note because it's a
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: game we haven't spoken about yet, the defending national champions, okay? Now,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: I know the game feels like it was played in Indiana.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I know the game feels like it was played a
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: month ago, right? But I have no idea, no idea
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: if that team is any good.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: Do you guys? I mean, Northwestern.
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: They're clearly not the team they were last year. Defensively,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: they've been good, but offensively, they've been very, I know
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: Bill Connolly, at ESPN.com, ESPN. He does a lot of
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: metrics and such, and there have been two teams this
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: year that have kind of underestimated their, or underperformed according
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: to their power rating each game, and it's both Indiana
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: and Texas Tech. Look, Hoover has been fine, but as
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: the injuries continue to mount at running back, that game
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: was there to be had for Northwestern on Friday night. Yes.
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: An asinine, dumb game. idiotic face mask penalty on a
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: third and 19. You're going to get Indiana off the field.
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: You're going to get the ball down to near midfield
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: and you commit a stupid penalty. And then right then
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: and there was when I hit live wager, Indiana, and
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: then four plays later, they're in the house for a touchdown.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't get very bitter or animated or,
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: or anything when I, when I make my wagers, like
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: the kind of reverse psychology is.
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: So I think too, there's like, I think Indiana's, It's
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: a mixed bag where they're good. I don't think they're great.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: I think they feel less than because they're being measured
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: against their past selves who were perfect, right? 16-0 last year.
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: But also, like, I do want to credit Northwestern. David Braun,
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, he won Big Ten Coach of the Year
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: his first year at Northwestern. He's done a good job
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: there with less. Like him, we talked about Dickert at
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: Wake Forest. I think he's been pretty good in that regard.
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: So credit to Northwestern. But yeah, Indiana does not look
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: like the wagon that they did before. In fact, if
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: you were to look at the Big Ten right now,
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: is it clearly Ohio State?
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: I think so. Yeah. I think so.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: Think about what we're saying.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Here you go. Who's more likely to make a playoff run, Iowa, Nebraska,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: or UCLA?
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: Oh, Iowa.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately, it just feels like everything's lining up.
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: There's our show title right there, but everything's lining up.
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: Bear, think about the college football world.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: We're in, we're giving credit to Northwestern for keeping it
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: close on the road to Indiana.
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Times have changed. Normally that would have been an upset.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Going to learn more about the Hoosiers next two weeks.
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: But, okay, but again, Stu, this is a good point.
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: I don't want to.
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: Because everybody wants to bitch about the current state of
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: college football. But that sentence right there is why it's awesome.
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: Look at UCLA. Immediately that program back alive in the
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: top 25. Impossible without the portal and NIL and all
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: of that. The rise of Indiana. I mean, we see
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: it week in and week out. The return of Miami.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: If you meet this current era where it's at and
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: you don't whine and moan and be a little bitch
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: about it, the avenue to getting good is there and
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: it's solely on you. There are no excuses because you
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: see great coaches doing it throughout the country.
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: It's two different things. It's like you can bitch and
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: moan and hate the pay-for-play and the NIL and the
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: portal and conference realignment. All the off-the-field shit is a
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: completely separate thing. On the field, like, sign me up.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: I am foaming at the mouth. All in. State of
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: play of the game. Athletically, it's never been better. I agree.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: Until you get to Sunday.
