  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_04: I had 19 points going into last week, and I knew I'd have to dominate even to get closer.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_00: So Mark, you're up to 22.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: You scored 22.
• 1:45

• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: 26, Mike.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: I scored four.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: I score four, so I'm up to 29.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm I'm uh within reach.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: I'm only three points, and Mike will catch me.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: Mark, seven points.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_04: I want two extra points if I met if I get all four, right?
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah, there we go.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: I'll uh I'll put some bonus opportunity in there.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: But um, I got the Tommy Carr question.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: You guys said he would score a touchdown.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: Dude, afraid not.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: Afraid not.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: That whole game I'm watching.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_04: I'm like, Tommy, just score.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_04: Just score.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_04: We've got that.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_04: We've got the quick six, buddy.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: His brother was up there, like pulling his hair out as well.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: That was brutal.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Arch Manning was the only quarterback to play for Texas, and it was worth it.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: And Mike, you missed that one, but me and Mark got it.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Houston, Utah, nobody got to 25 points, so nobody got that one, right?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: We all thought Utah would score 25.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_04: That's insane.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_04: Yep.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_00: On the other side of that, we all guessed right.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_00: Who will score score more?
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: UVA or Virginia Tech?
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_00: Well, Virginia Tech won that question with only 20 points.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: UVA didn't have the best night on Friday night at home.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: How about it?
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: And who scores less as in the opponent hold'em?
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: Your guys, the LSU Tigers and the Iowa Hawkey's, held their opponents to a pretty low totals, but Minnesota scored fewer than Auburn.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: And so Iowa's defense came through a little bit stronger, holding Minnesota down.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: And Michael Michael and Mark.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Michael and Mark, you both got that question, right?
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: Quest six is now, yeah, go.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_04: I was gonna say Iowa held Minnesota to 13 and lost, where LSU held Auburn to 17 and dominated.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_04: What it would be like to have an offense in Iowa.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_04: Sorry, go ahead, Derek.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: At least you got to see both of your quarterbacks try to you know do something.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: Throw interceptions.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: Throw interceptions successfully.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: Question number six is finally over.
• 3:57
  SPEAKER_00: So we asked what head coach would be fired first, and the answer turned out to be Maryland's Mike Loxley, and he was my first pick.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: So that's a point for Darren here for Mike Loxley.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: Uh funny enough, we all had four coaches going after four weeks of guessing.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: The other two coaches weren't on either anybody's list.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: Wait, none of us did end up from Baylor?
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: No, no one took Aranda from Baylor.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: No one took Dave Dorn from NC State.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_02: You know, Aranda was on my list, was on my list.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: But they just that that Arizona State blows the back of my mind.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_02: And I I kind of thought he had turned around.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_02: And Dave Dorn, he's just an installation in Raleigh.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_02: I just assumed he'd be there forever.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: So I I shame on me.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_02: Although I will say Mike Lazzi didn't beat him by much.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, it was it was one, two, three.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes they come in bunches.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta wonder, you know, like Lincoln Riley might be as soon as next week.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_02: I could see something like that.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_02: If I was he'd probably he'd probably be my next pick, I think.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe Greg Sheon Ruckers.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_04: There were some rumors last offseason that a Baylor was sniffing over there for Lincoln Riley.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_04: And now that Rand is gone.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_04: That could be uh Lincoln Riley going back.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_02: Lincoln Rayleigh going back to Texas to coach football would probably be a good thing.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_02: That would not be that wouldn't be a bad thing at all.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_02: I think that would I'll tell you it would be Shane Beamer.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_02: Shane Beamer has definitely bought himself at least a little bit of time.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_02: He's gonna make it he'll he will make it to Thanksgiving in Columbia.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_02: I feel pretty good about that.
• 5:19
  SPEAKER_00: So we shout out coacheshotseat.com.

  SPEAKER_00: And we're just, you know, the pressure is getting higher later in the season.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_00: We are nearing Halloween.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_00: We're getting into the heart of football.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna crank up the pressure just a little bit.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: And we're gonna say, we got it, we gotta rename this game the the four downs.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: You got four downs to convert.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: We don't have six questions anymore.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: Dial the pressure up to only four.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna um we're gonna do a little bit of this this good stuff right here.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, let's get excited.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_00: All right, yeah.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: Let's get excited with the college football theme music from 1996.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say, I've heard the while so I heard that one.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 6:44
  SPEAKER_04: Feels like my youth.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: There you go.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: All right, so first, first down, gentlemen, are you ready?
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_04: Yep.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to the noon game on Saturday.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: We got Wisconsin going to the Iowa Hawkeyes.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: Wisconsin just scored a major victory, which means the away team in this matchup is in the what we love to call the emotional letdown spot.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: So sad.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: So Wisconsin's going to Iowa.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: Iowa Hawkeyes must be ticked off after a blowing a win this weekend.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: The total for this game is comically low, as you can imagine.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: 36.5.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: 36.36.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_04: Oh my gosh.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_00: The total between two teams.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: That's not just one team, that's two teams.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: 36.5.
• 7:44
  SPEAKER_00: So the question is: this is a yes or no.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: Will either of these teams score over 19.5 points?
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: Will anybody get to 20?
• 7:58
  SPEAKER_00: And it's a yes if either team does it.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: Or it's a no if neither team gets to 20.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_04: I'm going to say somebody steps up.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_04: Some offense steps up in this game.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_04: I'm not going to say I don't know who.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_04: Both of these teams can't.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, look, I know USC doesn't have much of a defense.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_04: Iowa is stout.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_04: Stranger things have happened.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_04: I'm going to throw I'm going to throw a vote down for yes.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_04: I don't like it, but it's also I need to do something opposite of you guys.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_02: I think we're going to see a little, I think we're going to see Iowa in a good spot.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't mind betting on Iowa either to cover those three and a half, three and a half points.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_02: I think Phil Parker and those guys are better than that than they showed us in Minnesota on the road.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_02: I do not think Wisconsin's scoring 20 points.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_02: I really want to like Colton Joseph.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_02: I really want to like the guy.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_02: He is so bad.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_02: Give me Iowa score 20 points.
• 9:30
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm going to say yes.
• 9:31
  SPEAKER_02: I think Iowa's going to score 24.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_00: Get you both down for a yes.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_00: And I got you both as taking crazy pills.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to go no.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: This is going to stay in the teens.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: If that, can somebody even get to the 13 number?
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: Who knows?
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_04: That's why you're leading this game, Derek.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_00: There you go.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to zag.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to say no.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe I'll go first on this one so you guys can zag if you want to.
• 9:56
  SPEAKER_00: Uh next question.
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_04: This makes me feel like NCAA college football.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_02: Like a video game.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_04: I had a buddy of mine in college who took Wisconsin to the national championship seven years in a row.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_04: Our sophomore year.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_04: He didn't come back our junior year to school.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_04: There might be a reason.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_04: But yeah.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: He still played.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_02: Two things might be related.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 10:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you can't.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_02: Earning Wisconsin's 370th national title.
• 10:32
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: Let's revisit our good old friend Jaden Ball from the Florida Gators.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: We got a big number that guy.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we got a big matchup this weekend.
• 10:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's in the 3.30 window, and it's the Florida Georgia line game.
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: And this game is going to be played stupid.
• 10:51
  SPEAKER_00: Neutral field, Atlanta, and the Mercedes-Benz Stadium indoors.
• 10:58
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, anyway, at 3.30, we got Florida Gators coming to play Georgia Bulldogs.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: Jaden Ball uh started this year as hot as a running back could possibly start, and he had four games over a hundred yards easy.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: He was averaging, remember what we said, 150 yards a game in his first four.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: Unfortunately, the last three games, not so great, all three of his last games under 100 yards rushing.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_00: And so my question is uh they're going to play Georgia.
• 11:34
  SPEAKER_00: It's in it it's in Atlanta at the at the Falcon Stadium.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: Will Jaden Ball total over 99 and a half yards?
• 11:43
  SPEAKER_00: Will he reach 100 yards in this game against Georgia?
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_00: And since it is the Georgia Bulldogs, really stout defense, I'm gonna put in his receiving yards as well.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna go rushing and receiving.
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: Last couple games.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so last week, last week, Jaden Ball and the Florida Gators, Jaden Ball went 25 carries for 91 yards and a touchdown.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_00: He had 13 yards receiving.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so he went just over a hundred total last week with a touchdown.
• 12:17
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm gonna say against the Georgia Bulldogs, I'm gonna say no for Jaden Ball.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: Um Yeah, he's you know, it's it's hard to hard to hear myself say that after the way he started this year.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: Such a talented bowling ball of a human being, but I don't think he can get it done against the Bulldogs.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: How about you guys?
• 12:39
  SPEAKER_02: I say no as well.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_02: The bull on Florida kind of out is kind of out where if you can stop Jaden Ball, you're gonna win.
• 12:45
  SPEAKER_02: And I think Georgia's just gonna do that.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_02: They're gonna make Tremel Jones or Aaron Philo.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_02: If Aaron Philo is back, I'm not sure if he's hurt.
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, Tremel Jones had a really nice game against Texas, but I don't think either of those guys is equipped to attack this Georgia secondary, which has at least two, if not three, premium NFL talent back there.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_02: If I'm Georgia, if I'm Georgia's defensive coordinator, I think his name is Bobo.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_02: I think that's who it is.
• 13:06
  SPEAKER_02: I'm just I'm just I'm just saying stop Jaden and make somebody else beat me.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think they can.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's gonna be Georgia's game plan.
• 13:12
  SPEAKER_02: So even if Florida does have some offensive success, I think it's gonna come somewhere else.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_02: I think Georgia is going to make Florida prove that if they want to win this game, they have to do it be with somebody besides Jaden Ball.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think they can.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_02: So win or lose, Jaden Ball will not get to 100.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna say no.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_04: Strategically, I should not take your take on this one, being that I'm trailing 29, 26, and I'm at 22.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_04: But since he got shut down by who like Missouri, 12 carries, 13 yards, he's done most of nothing.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_04: He's never truly been somebody they throw into out the backfield.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_04: And George's defense is pretty stout.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, it's a high, high risk wager here, but I'm going to have to say yes because I can't can't get any farther away from you.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_04: I mean, I can, but I've got to take the chance.
• 14:07
  SPEAKER_04: So I am going to say yes.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_04: Jaden Ball's back, baby.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_04: I don't know if he's hurt or if we're not gonna focus on him and we're not gonna give him the darn ball the whole game.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_04: 30 carries, 101 yards.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_04: I am taking it.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_04: I have to.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_04: Begrunchingly.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_04: Yes.
• 14:22
  SPEAKER_02: I love that for you.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_02: Don't get me wrong.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_02: I would love to see Jaden Ball have a player play a major part in this game.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_02: It would, it would certainly make it more entertaining.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_02: I think it's like an 11-point spread.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_02: I think most folks are kind of burying floor before they even get a chance.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_02: So if Jaden Ball does have 100 plus some yards, then they're gonna go.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_02: They're gonna be a good one.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_04: Did you say where the game was?
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, it's neutral site, Atlanta.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_04: Neutral.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_04: That's right.
• 14:44
  SPEAKER_04: I was just thinking about how cheap hot dogs were there.
• 14:46
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah.
• 14:47

• 14:51
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they call Lord World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_02: Of course, this one's not outdoors, so go figure.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_04: Gotcha.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_00: I would think that they I would think that they have not played on a turf field yet.
• 15:03
  SPEAKER_00: Old Miss, Mississippi, Mississippi at Auburn, uh Missouri.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_00: Texas is turf.
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: Texas is turf.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: Got it.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: So who knows?
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe Jaden Ball likes the turf.
• 15:15
  SPEAKER_00: And maybe he's it's coming off of a turf victory, by the way, if Texas is a turf.
• 15:20
  SPEAKER_00: So um yeah.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe this is his his home bread and butter here.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe he's about to blow up.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_02: Love to see it.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, they're all they're off a bye.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_02: So they're gonna be fresh.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_02: And they're gonna mean both teams are off a bye, but you know, so we'll see.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, maybe we do.
• 15:34
  SPEAKER_02: I hope it's a game.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_02: I hope it's I hope it's in a I don't I don't have a dog in this fight, no pun intended.
• 15:38
  SPEAKER_02: We can give the one minute a dog.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_02: I just I hope it's an entertaining game.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_02: I hope it's an entertaining game.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_04: Maybe we're putting too much stock in the fact that he put up 160 yards against Florida, Atlantic, 136 against Campbell, 162 against Auburn.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_04: Still saying yes.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_04: That's okay.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_04: He's gonna say yes.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_04: He's gonna do it.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: Guess what?
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: You got a couple yards on that one.
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: Uh you got five yards to go.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_00: It's third and five.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: Third down.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_02: The money down, Darren.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_02: The money down.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 16:13
  SPEAKER_00: Dig into your playbook.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_04: I feel like every play is third and long for me.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: Third, third, third and manageable.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: Third and manageable.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, third and five.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: Here's the game.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: 7:30 window.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_00: This is our night window.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_00: We got a big one.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_00: We got Ohio State.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_00: Buckeyes go into USC.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: USC Trojans coming off a big loss, but they're at home.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: They have come back home.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: Perhaps they're a different team back in California.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: Um, Julian Saiyan is not going to play in this game.
• 16:49
  SPEAKER_00: He has been averaging for the Ohio State Buckeyes 277 yards passing.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: And USC allows 216 passing yards on average.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: That's a lot lower than I thought it was going to be, actually.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_00: USC's defense allows only 216 passing yards on average this year so far.
• 17:13
  SPEAKER_00: Jay Julian Sands not going to put up that 277 for sure.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_00: They got a kid named Luke Fehey throwing the ball for Ohio State.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I'm gonna set his number a lot lower.
• 17:27
  SPEAKER_00: Will he throw for over or under 199 and a half?
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_00: Will he reach 200 in this matchup?
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: Is USC's defense gonna hold him under 200?
• 17:40
  SPEAKER_00: Can he just throw it up in Jeremiah Smith's universe and go for 200 points, 200 yards in that fashion?
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: What do you think?
• 17:49
  SPEAKER_00: Over or under 200 yards for Luke Fehey, Ohio State.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_02: If if Faye doesn't start and it's Tavian Sinclair, is it still the same same question?
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_02: Same question, same question.
• 17:59
  SPEAKER_02: We got two fresh guys.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_02: So 200 passing yards for the Ohio State Buckeyes.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, yep.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: 200 passing yards.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna say yes, because there's they're just gonna spam, they're gonna spam Jeremiah Smith.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_02: They're just gonna they're gonna do things to get him on this on the side of the field with one guy.
• 18:12
  SPEAKER_02: And it's I legitimately think it's gonna be a one-read offense.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be is Jeremiah Smith single-covered, throw it to him.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_02: If not, fall forward for three yards on a scramble or something, and that's gonna work.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_02: It's because USC's defense is terrible.
• 18:25
  SPEAKER_02: So give me the over.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_02: If Jeremiah Smith was not in this game, I wouldn't take it at 150.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_02: But because Jeremiah Smith is in this game and he is the best player of college football, I'm saying over.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_02: I'm saying Jeremiah, I'm saying Jeremiah, they have been spamming him all season.
• 18:39
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know why they're stopped now.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_02: Even though there's not Julian Sanders center, I still think Ohio State's two quarterback options can get him the ball.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_02: Jeremiah Smith is getting 100 yards.
• 18:49
  SPEAKER_02: Somebody else will get 90.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_02: I believe it.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_02: I believe it.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I'm gonna I'm gonna give you a little brain food, Mark, before you answer.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go zag on that take, Mike Wade.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: I hear what you're saying, and I'm gonna go zag and say that Coach Ryan Day at Ohio State is challenging his team, and he's gonna say, we are going to run the ball between the tackles, and we're gonna we're gonna run this run this game for 280 yards, and that's how we're gonna go into USC and beat those guys on the ground.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_00: And that's what they're gonna do.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_00: And Luke Fahy, or who knows who that we'll never see again, is not gonna score, you know, not gonna throw hardly any passes whatsoever.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_00: So I say no.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_04: I So looking back at the season so far, there's one thing I can't trust, and that is a young quarterback.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_04: We've talked about Tate Reynolds and Clemson, we've talked about, we've talked about Brandon the FaZe on Brandon, uh, Tennessee, George McIntyre, we've talked about Underwood, we've talked about Tony Carr.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_04: Young quarterbacks are not doing well this season, and therefore I cannot support another young quarterback for any team, Iowa State, Ohio State is what I meant to say.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_04: Whether it's Faye or St.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_04: Clair.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_04: St.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_04: Clair is a redshirt freshman, Faye's a true freshman.
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_04: I will not put faith in a young quarterback, therefore, I'm gonna say no less than 199.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_04: Oh, good.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_04: That was good time to sound bite.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_02: Respect the principle.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_02: Good for you.
• 20:29
  SPEAKER_02: Not fading the young quarterback just out of principle.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: I like that play.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: I like that play too.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_02: Thank you.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_04: They burnt me too much this year.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_04: Mike, you're the only one who has running the ball.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_04: I think you I like the way you're thinking there.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: That it, you know, every good team does that a couple times a season.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_00: They're like, we are just committed to physically bullying another team up the middle, in between the tackles, running the ball.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_00: And so they're built for that.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: And so I think that's what's going to happen.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_04: We should do it like a side bet, whether or not you think that Ohio State will have more than like 35 carries on the ground.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_04: You think they get to 40 carries on the ground?
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_04: That'd be a good number to reflect.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I think I think they will.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they will.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_00: There you go.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_00: All right, you guys did a great job on that third down, but oh, we're spotted just short.
• 21:18
  SPEAKER_00: We got fourth and inches coming up.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_03: Oh! Here we go.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's TVF.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_01: It used to be the FDS.
• 21:35
  SPEAKER_01: Now it's the big now, the big head on that.
• 21:37
  SPEAKER_01: Now it's the big dead on CBS.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_00: This is just a type of thing.

  SPEAKER_00: This is my favorite jingle.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.

  SPEAKER_04: 330.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, this is a banger.

  SPEAKER_02: No to Ditka.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_02: That's too specific, Darren.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_02: It's too granular.
• 23:02
  SPEAKER_02: I feel like you're baiting and switching me here, and I'm falling for it anyway.
• 23:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna say no.
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_00: What you don't know, remember, Mike Ditka passed away October 9th.

• 23:11
  SPEAKER_00: That was three weeks ago.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_00: He's a football legend.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_04: Football is not a football legend in Indiana.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_04: And Bloomington is like southern Indiana.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_04: And like if we're talking Purdue, Purdue's at least north of Indianapolis, where I could see South Bend, guaranteed.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_04: South Bend is like Chicago suburbs, pretty much.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_00: But hold on, hold on.
• 23:33

  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's Stanford Steve.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe a mascot will dress up as Mike Ditka.

  SPEAKER_00: How about that?
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_02: I want to see Pat McAfee dress as Frankenstein.
• 24:13

• 24:15
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think there's much.
• 24:15
  SPEAKER_04: He's just gonna paint himself green.
• 24:16

• 24:32
  SPEAKER_04: I, the last time I've actually shaved my face, and the only time for the rest of my life that I will ever shave my face, was to be Coach Ditka two years ago, I believe.
