The Next Round: Alabama vs. Tennessee, Auburn vs. Georgia Odds & Texas A&M's Stunning Collapse | hour 2 · The Next Round

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Hour number two of the next round presented by Hard
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Rock Bet on Sporting State. Jim Dunaway, Lance Taylor walking in.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: There's Ryan Brown. I'll tell you this. We're about to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: get some early point spreads brought to you by our
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: friends at Hard Rock Bet for week two. I'm wondering
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: what Georgia will be, not the point spread, but emotionally,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: because this did feel like a supercharged game for Georgia.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: And we've seen this year in the SEC, big win
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: next week. Not able to match that emotion. What do
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: you think Auburn-Georgia looks like this weekend at?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Well, you've got to have an opponent. Like, you've got
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: to have somebody that's even in the fight. There is
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: no chance Auburn can beat this Georgia team.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Zero chance. And the point spread's what?
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: 18 and a half?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think naturally Georgia could be, I mean,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: this is a rivalry game, obviously, but I'm just going
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to say, I think most Georgia fans care more about
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: beating Alabama right now than they do Auburn. So I
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: would imagine that And based on Kirby's reactions, that feeds
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: down to the team as well. That's exactly right. 20
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and a half now. That's exactly right, Brownie. And I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: say this with a great deal of respect for Alabama, Tennessee,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: their rivalry in Auburn, Georgia. Where Alabama and Georgia have
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: been the last few years of college football and what
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: was at stake. I mean, not a lot was at
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: stake because of the 12-team playoff. But the perception that
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: that was two of the better teams playing, these two
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: rivalry games this week feel less than what we just
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: saw between Georgia and Alabama, does it not?
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Alabama's crept up to eight and a half. Like,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: both of these numbers just continue to move.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I mean, Tennessee, I'm not going to say they got
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: lucky to beat Arkansas, but that.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: See, and I didn't get to watch a lot of
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: that game, and I heard clock management was a problem.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: You didn't miss any. That was an ugly football game. See,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: I didn't watch a ton of it either, but Doug
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: Howes wanted to ask us, about Ryan Silverfield at the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: end choosing with 149 to play.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: How do you punt in that situation?
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: He tried to defend it after the game, and of
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: course the defense was terrible. I mean, you're like, what
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: do you have to lose? It's 149 left. You're not
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: going to get it back. Your 14th consecutive SEC game.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: What do you have to lose? If anybody should have
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: been just gambling on every play, it was Arkansas. You
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: actually had a chance to maybe win a game. You
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: have a guy at Alabama with all that pressure. Instead
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: of taking the automatic three and the fans would have
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: been fine with that. You go for it with three seconds.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: You were going to go zero points or a touchdown.
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: All or nothing.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: And you get a touchdown. That's right. And it's 149
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: to go in a game and you're at Arkansas. Nobody's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: expecting you to be in this game and you punt it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: And McIntyre, three turnovers in his first career start. Did
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: they ever even talk about They talked.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: About Faison Brandon like he was injured and unavailable. I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: don't know if that's just Hypel being kind to Faison Brandon.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they were just going to ride
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: or die with McIntyre to see. But what happened is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: what I said was your nightmare coming out of there
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: for Hypel is who do you start against Alabama? Yeah.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: And does it matter? Like if they play this 10 times,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Tennessee wins once, I believe. It is a rivalry game
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: and Anything can happen, and we see it each and
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: every week in college football where a double-digit underdog wins
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the game. So, look, Tennessee can win this game. I
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: just say if they play it nine out of ten
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: times the way these two teams are playing, Alabama.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Would win nine of ten.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: And I just don't see a path to victory for
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Auburn right now.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I do think Georgia will be a little flat in
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: this game, which will help Auburn. But they're going to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: have to be super flat. They're going to have to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: do what Texas did. They're going to have to give
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: up a block punt. They're going to have to throw
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a pick six. They're going to have to. Throw another intercept.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: And Kirby's teams don't do that.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: They generally don't. Our friends at Hard Rock Bet with
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: our upcoming lines for Week 7 update. Alabama, Tennessee. Bama,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: 8.5 on the road in Knoxville where they haven't won
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: since 2020. I think I'm correct there. Auburn at Georgia. Georgia, 20.5.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: 20.5.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: The total only 49.5. So if you cover, that means
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: it's a pretty bad beat. Yeah, you go.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: I mean.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think what Auburn's point total could be
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: up to and still get a Georgia and under.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Not a lot. Not a lot. Single digits. Florida at Texas.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: More on Florida in a second. Texas 10.5 with the
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: total at 52.5. All these games are huge impact games
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: in the SEC. Missouri at Ole Miss. Ole Miss a
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: six-point favored right now. Tough game there. Kentucky, everybody's darling
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: on the road at Oklahoma. Oklahoma... a six and a
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: half point it's a good time to catch oklahoma i
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: think for kentucky but boy this is a tough spot
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: for kentucky too back to back overtime emotional wins feels
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: like that's going to run out pretty quickly for kentucky
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: this probably is a good spot for oklahoma it is
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: a good spot and we'll talk about these games all
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: week just quick reaction to the point spreads uh big
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: games around the country you guys love oklahoma state there
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: are four and a half Point dog at Houston. Yeah,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Houston will win that game. I mean, I like Oklahoma
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: State a lot.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Their defense was a little leaky against Central Florida this weekend,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: but Mestermaker is playing next level. But so is Connor Wegman.
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: Those are two quarterbacks. People aren't talking about Mestermaker. People
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: aren't talking enough about Connor Wegman.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: UCLA, everybody's darling unbeaten. Primetime NBC Wisconsin at the Rose
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Bowl to play UCLA. UCLA a three-point favor at hard
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: rock bet. Big moment for Luke Fickle coming up. Notre Dame-BYU,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: the game everyone's loving in Provo, primetime on ABC. Notre
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Dame a 10-point favorite on the road at BYU.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: You know, BYU was able to completely shut down that
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: Iowa State offense. Barry Bachmeier played his ass up, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: I don't think Bachmeier can do that against the Notre
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Dame defense, like completely take a game over. That one
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: seems like it's all Notre Dame to me.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Florida State, Miami down at Hard Rock. Miami in this
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: great rivalry game, a 21-point favorite. Well, just when you
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: thought Florida State was starting to show a little life
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: and maybe we fired Norville too quickly, they're back to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: the same old Florida State.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you would have told me when they were
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: up 14-0 to Louisville, I would have been like, damn,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: this might be an interesting Florida State-Miami game. And then
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the old Florida State did rear their ugly head.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: And then Ohio State and Indiana and Bloomington, the biggest
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: game ever played there, they're saying in football. Ohio State,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: a three-and-a-half road favorite for the big noon kickoff. Klatt
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: will be on the show later today. Later today, 1130 Central.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know what you do about Jeremiah Smith.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think that anybody in college football can even
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: come close to covering that guy, so that's going to
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: be an issue. But Indiana's going to make this game interesting.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I know you guys don't believe that, but Indiana will 100%
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: make this game interesting.
• 6:36

  Speaker 1: All right, LT, pick a game. Anyone in the country
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: we haven't talked about yet.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Let's go with Indiana-Nebraska. I know Brown was big on
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: Nebraska pulling off the upset. Felt good for a minute.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: The whole time, after it got to a certain point
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: in the second half, I was like, Brown's going to
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: be right on this. And the thing that was the
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: most interesting to me, after losing 31 consecutive games to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: ranked teams, Does this proud fan base rush the field?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Oh, no. I didn't even think about that.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I wanted to see, and I started to get to
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: the point, I was like, I think they probably will,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: but that is going to be such a weird look
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: because I have never seen Nebraska fans.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Rush the field. Not even think about it.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: We didn't get to see it because Nick Marsh took
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: that game over in just a couple of big plays
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: is all it took for Indiana. I give Nebraska and
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Matt Rule a lot of credit. Their defense played their
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: asses off.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: They did, but I think Nebraska fans don't want to
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: hear that right now. It was 17-6, Brown, and then
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: it just took six plays. I know. And it was over. Yeah,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, let me tell you where that game was lost, though.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: That game was lost right at the end of the half.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: When Nebraska has the ball, they time it out perfectly.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: They burn clock, burn clock, burn clock. And they got
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a chance for basically the last play of the half,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and they missed the field goal. And now it's just 10,
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: was that 10-7 going to the break? Where it should
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: have been 13-7, or maybe it was 10-7 going to
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the break. You're up 13-7 there. You got a chance.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I just felt like Indiana had played this awful half.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: They barely had the football. When they had the football,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: they had terrible field position. And all you could do
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: is go to the break up 10-7. You did not
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: take advantage of dominating the first half. Nebraska dominated the
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: first half and just really didn't take advantage of it.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: That's probably where they lost the game.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: I believe the whole week that Nebraska was kind of
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: propped up by the competition that they had played. The
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: five teams before were just not good. but that looked
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: like the first time under Matt rule of the old
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: black shirts.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, they held, I mean, Indiana could not run
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: the football 65 yards on the ground, which put them
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: in third and long situations. And they were one to
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: 10 on third down. So Nebraska's defense did everything they
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: could to win that game. It was just a couple
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: of busted plays.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: Holgerson was really good calling plays. I like that Nebraska quarterback.
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Calandra is pretty good. Andrew's a pretty good player. He's
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: not the best quarterback in America, but he's a tough kid.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: He ran when he was supposed to run. He made
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: pretty good throws. Um, They had every opportunity to win
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: that game. All you can say about Indiana is that's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: how you win national championships is you pull one out
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: of the fire like that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: But they are playing with fire.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: They are, but they fly close to the sun. That
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: is eventually going to get you burned, but I tell you,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you dodge a bullet like that and you look the
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: remainder of their schedule they're probably right back in the.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: College and that's the thing done away like if indiana
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: does win at home in the biggest game ever on
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: campus at bloomington lock them in you can lock them
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: in but i don't know how they lose another game
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: like they got to go to michigan but that michigan
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: offense we know is putrid and they host usc but Like, hell,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: are we going to be talking about Indiana going into
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: the playoffs where they've won at that point, what would
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: it be, 28th, 29th straight?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: If they win Saturday, they're going to be on a
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: near 30-game win streak going into the Big Ten championship
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: game at least. I will say this. Here's Cignetti, but
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: the defense looks different. They're missing so many tackles. They
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: don't seem to have the hard edge that last year's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Indiana team had, at least to that point. Here's Cignetti.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: talking about overcoming the struggles they had to overcome to
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: get the win in Lincoln.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: Teams that struggle for two and a half, three quarters,
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: or whatever, but find ways to win, don't tap out.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: The reasons are what? What exactly?
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: You've got to have an indomitable will, man. A will
• 10:59
  Speaker 6: that cannot be defeated or subdued. And you've got to
• 11:02
  Speaker 6: be resilient. You have the ability to overcome the unexpected.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: And that no matter how bad it gets, that you
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: never let anxiety, frustration... enter your mindset, that you're going
• 11:14
  Speaker 6: to find a way. It's just a matter of time.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: You know, I think the thing they might be missing defensively,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and Clatt did a good job of talking about in
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: their defense, in the Bryant-Haines defense, how important the boundary
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: corner is. And it was the kid, and his name
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: slips from my mind, that played it last year, that
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: went to the NFL, the corner for Indiana. The undersized kid. God,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I cannot say his name now. Anyway, that aside, I
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: don't know why his name escapes me. I don't know
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: that they're as good there, Jim, Um, but you're right.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: They're not, I mean, they still got after the quarterback
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: five sacks. They did. It's just, but Jim's right. I
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: think they're just missing a little bit on defense and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: as well as he has played, Hoover is not Mendoza.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: So you're missing a little bit of quarterback, but still
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: really good at receiver. Beckers and Marsh are fantastic. And
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: to their credit, they ran a play at the end
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of the game where both Beckers and Marsh are out
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: to practice early. Like Hoover stood back there. He could
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: have thrown it to either guy and they scored a touchdown. Yeah,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: both of those big plays, they were wide-open plays, just
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: wonderful play calls, and that's what Indiana does. They're well-coached,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: and maybe that was their Penn State moment from last year,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: the scare, and they get away with the win. And
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: maybe they play a lot better and go on a
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: roll the rest of the way.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: I do feel this is more the 2014 Florida State version. Like,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: they're going to get to a college football playoff.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: They get exposed somewhere, though.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: But, yeah, when they play an elite team, and it
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: could be this weekend.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Pons. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt you.
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: DeAngelo Pons.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: DeAngelo Pons. That's what we're talking about. Pons! Pons! Yeah, yeah.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: Tourette's in here. Okay, we need to go back to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Kentucky and LSU real quick.
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Because we've got some sound here. If you can give
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: me cut eight and then cut nine. The Kentucky win.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: over LSU, just so well done. Will Stein now is,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: what is he, 5-0, 6-0? Anyway, he's the first Kentucky
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: coach ever to start his career at Kentucky with being
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: unbeaten this deep into the season. No, no, no, they
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: lost Alabama. I think he's the first one to have.
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: Bear Bryant started out his first season at Kentucky 4-1.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Will Stein tied him last week and topped him this weekend.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: That was the stat. 5-1, best first-year start for a
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: coach at Kentucky. Here's Will Stein getting asked about that
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Bear Bryant stat.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: I think last week.
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: You tied Bear Bryant for best start by a first-year
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: head coach in the top three this year. You made
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: history with five-and-one record to start your first season.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Does that resonate with you? Does that mean you need
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: to have more?
• 13:51
  Speaker 8: I mean, I have all the respect for, obviously, Bear Bryant,
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: but I would not consider me Bear Bryant. He's– Got
• 13:59
  Speaker 8: hundreds of more wins. I don't know what his total is,
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: national championship. So there's no way in hell I would
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: compare myself to him. I'm just trying to be my
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: best every single day and give it my all for
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: this university that took a chance on me and give
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: it all for my players who have done such an
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: unbelievable job up to this point.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: So it's about them. It's not about wins.
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: We're 5-1, which is great, and we've got more opportunities ahead.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Well, Oregon's loss is Kentucky's game, but it is really
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: affecting Oregon's offense.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt. There's two places where you can tell
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator was making a huge difference last year,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and Oregon is one of them. And it's that guy
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: right there. And just look at the difference in Kentucky's offense.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, my gosh.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: And, you know, we talked. I didn't realize it would
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: be the factor that it was with Oregon because I
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: thought there was too much talent. But over the years,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: we talked about Will Stein and how detailed his offenses
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: were at Oregon and just how efficient they were. And
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: they are completely missing that guy. And when he finds
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: an elite quarterback in Kentucky, watch out. I mean, Mitchie's good, but.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: He out-schemed the offensive guy everybody loves, Lane Kiffin. That's right.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, he out-schemed him on Saturday. They outplayed LSU.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: And you touched on this, what this could turn into
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: for LSU. Here's Lane Kiffin. I want you to go
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: body language here because that's their second loss. I'm right
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: about that, right? That's right, yeah, with plenty of tough
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: games left. Plenty of tough games left, including Alabama, Texas,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: and anybody else. Here's Lane Kiffin after getting a loss
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: number two. The loss is fresh.
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: But dealing with two losses at this point in the
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: season and blocking out the negativity and all the playoff
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: talking will be the challenge.
• 15:33
  Speaker 9: From that perspective, I think.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: I'll get to that tomorrow.
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: I mean, as I just told them, you know, this
• 15:39
  Speaker 10: goes on all of us. We had all kinds of
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: chances to close the game out and win the game
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: and didn't do it. And, you know, to let people
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: hang around on the road at night in SEC, that's
• 15:49
  Speaker 10: going to happen.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: On the road at night in the SEC, that's going
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: to happen. That's two losses. They're going to be battling.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: They could go 10-2.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you, week one seems like a long time ago. Brown,
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: did you have LSU at number one after beating Clemson?
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Oh, heck yeah, number one in the country, yeah. That
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: seems like a long time ago. It does. I want
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to say this, though. Watch this team moving forward because
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: in this era of college football, when you have these
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: highly paid NIL players, that really have no blood, sweat,
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and tear into wearing the LSU uniform. They came there
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: in the portal to get a paycheck. Do they shut
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: it down? And you hear NFL players talk about this
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: all the time. Once you're out of playoff contention, it's
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: about just getting it every week, just getting that paycheck.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Hand out, where's that paycheck?
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: I know we'll get to the NFL at some point,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and I heard Rex Ryan talking about this today. after
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: that commander's loss, the way they lost that in overtime,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: it was horrendous. He was like, I'm not going to
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: be surprised if they don't win another game. And I'm
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: not saying that LSU was all on coaching, but when
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the guys believe it was the coach's fault, they completely
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: zone out a lot of times. And when you've already
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: got two, to your point, two losses this early in
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: the year, it is going to be interesting. Not a
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: lot of loyalty to that program, what these guys are
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: going to do.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so keep an eye. And they may do the
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: other thing. They may come out fired up and And
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: LSU doesn't lose again. I mean, Oklahoma did. If Kamario
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Taylor can't play Saturday, if Taylor is 100% against that team,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: I believe Baker defense hasn't been great. If I asked
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: you right now, it's probably a better question later in
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: the week. Blake Baker back next year or not?
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: I would say probably not. I think he's a well-respected.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: You saw what he was able to do with the
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Missouri defenses and what they were able to do last year.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: So improved on defense. But because it wasn't Kiffin's guy.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: He inherited him. There will be.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's always a scapegoat. There's always an excuse.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: And the excuse probably will be, he wasn't my guy.
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: Let's go to UCLA, Oregon next. Brownie, I don't mean
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: to steal your pick here. No, I was going to
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: say that one anyway. UCLA and Oregon.
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: That's where Stein came from. A & M' s your other one.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: We'll get to that one. But Will Stein's not at Oregon.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: And UCLA benefited from that. Really, how good is UCLA?
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: We don't know, to be honest with you. Seven turnovers. Now,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the seventh turnover was on the... What do they call it?
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: The whoopie-woo-woo. They start tossing around. I'll forgive that turnover, Lance,
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: but you can't forgive the other six.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I think I saw more fumbles this weekend than I've
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: ever seen.
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: They had four fumbles. They had five. Five if you
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: count the one at the end. The pitchy-pitchy-woo-woo. That's what
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: they call it. The pitchy-pitchy-woo-woo play at the end. There
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: is officiating controversy in this game as well we'll get to,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: but they could be playing Stanford. And turn it over
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: six times and they're going to lose the game. You
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: just can't live through that. Niko was awful.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: And, you know, the Bob Chesney teams have been really,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: really disciplined up until this point.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: But, you know, they have.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Themselves, three turnovers and nine penalties. Nico leaves with a
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: lower leg injury, but he was playing terrible football.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Two interceptions in the first half, and they finish with
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: their backup quarterback. Yeah, they do.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Ty Diffenbach.
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Diffenbach. And Oregon had to change quarterbacks, too. Dylan
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Raiola hit earth very, very quickly.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Brock Thomas wasn't bad. How did Raiola not
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: play like that against USC? And USC would be undefeated
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: because he was great against USC, and he was awful.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Against UCLA. I just wonder if it's just you don't
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: have time to process, oh my God, I'm in the game.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: You just go in and you ball out. That's what
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: it was.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: We did say last week if UCLA could run the
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: football like they have been, even assemble it to that,
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: they only averaged three yards a carry, but I give
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Bob Chesney a lot of credit. They continue to pound it.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Wayne Knight, they'll run it all night long. UCLA, they
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: don't play Ohio State. They don't play Indiana. They don't
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: play Iowa.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: So they're in a pretty good spot as a playoff contender.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Here is Bob Chesney. about starting off now. 5-0 with
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: a win in Eugene I don't know now. We can
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: hear it. What's your message to the team? I don't
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: got a message for the team right now.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: Not tonight, at least. But tomorrow, it's going to be
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: the same. It's going to be it doesn't matter. Now
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: we got to get better. And how do we get better?
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: We go back and we look at these things we
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: got to fix. We look at, you know, our personnel
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: and see where we're at as far as once we
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: figure out how these guys, if they're coming back next
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: week or not. And there's a lot of football left
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: to be played.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Get better is ultimately always the message when we turn
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: the corner.
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: But not just yet.
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: If they can win this weekend against Wisconsin, I know
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: it sounds weird coming off a win in Alton.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: And it's at the Rose Bowl.
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: But if they can come off of that, I think
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: you can really start to talk about Kurt Cignetti 2.0
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: this year. Because as bad as Indiana football was, UCLA
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: was one of the worst big-time programs on the West Coast. USC, Washington, Oregon,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Arizona State, all better. UCLA doesn't have any resources. This
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: guy comes in, brings a lot of his guys, and
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the results have been... And even looking at a double-digit
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: win over Purdue, that's a pretty impressive win now.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, USC is the only ranked team remaining on their schedule.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: It's probably the only ranked team they'll play. So you
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: ask the question, are they good? I don't know if
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: they are. Like, they have... I mean, that's by far
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: and away their best win. Their other wins are Maryland, Purdue,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: San Diego State, and Cal. Sounds a lot like Indiana
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: and Cignetti's first game. It does, it does. But, I mean, look,
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: they went and won that game. Now, the controversy... was
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: Oregon decides to go for two when they scored to
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: make it 17-15. There is, I think, a personal foul.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: It was a face mask. It was a face mask,
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: personal foul face mask on the conversion, which is a
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: half the distance. The ball ends at the one. The
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: penalty is half the distance to the goal. Rather than
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: mark it half the distance to the goal from the one,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: they take it back to the three, mark it half
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: the distance, which is the original line of scrimmage, obviously,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: on a two-point conversion. And so now it's at the
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: one and a half. Well, Oregon tries the sneak. They
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: missed by about that much on the sneak.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it should have been spotted inside the one.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Should have been spotted inside the one.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Did you catch it on the fly?
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: I did not. I did not. I just assumed. I
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: was like, well, I guess you take it back to
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: the original line of scrimmage. The conversion just didn't count.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: So it's a totally new situation, right? It's just a
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: new conversion.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you just don't think about it in that
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: situation because, and I heard it explained this morning, this
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: was pretty good. If you had a 14-yard run and
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: you're face-masked at the end of the 14-yard run, you're
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: getting the 15 from that point.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: You're not taking it back to.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: The original line of scrimmage. I assumed it was different
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: on the conversion. I did too. I just assumed the
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: conversion made it different. But no, it was supposed to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: have been marked on the half, and the Big Ten
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: has now had to come out and make a statement
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: and say we screwed it up.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: But guess what? You shouldn't be in that situation if
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: you're Oregon.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Here's Dan Lanning on a playoff discussion for now a
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: two-loss Oregon team.
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: You're fighting an uphill battle if you take another loss
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: this season making the college football playoff.
• 22:42
  Speaker 11: Just what is it like.
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: Kind of knowing that now you've you've got to win
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: out to make the goal that everybody kind of thought
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: you were going to.
• 22:48
  Speaker 10: Have at the start of the season.
• 22:49
  Speaker 12: Yeah, we're fighting an uphill battle now, right? And it's, again,
• 22:52
  Speaker 12: you can't look, you know, 10 weeks ahead. You have
• 22:54
  Speaker 12: to look at what's in front of us right now.
• 22:56
  Speaker 12: We don't control our destiny anymore, right? It's not necessarily
• 22:58
  Speaker 12: just up to us, but we do control how we respond.
• 23:02
  Speaker 12: It's very similar to what I just told our players
• 23:04
  Speaker 12: in the locker room, right? There's defining moments in a
• 23:06
  Speaker 12: man's life and how you respond. The way that I'm
• 23:09
  Speaker 12: going to respond to this is really important to me
• 23:10
  Speaker 12: because I want my three boys to see how do
• 23:12
  Speaker 12: I handle this moment. I want our team to see
• 23:14
  Speaker 12: how do I handle this moment. It's really easy to
• 23:16
  Speaker 12: fold up. It's really easy to separate and not be
• 23:19
  Speaker 12: tight and connected in these moments. That's not going to
• 23:21
  Speaker 12: be my response. I want our players to see that.
• 23:23
  Speaker 12: But all we control right now is what's in front
• 23:25
  Speaker 12: of us, how we respond tomorrow, how we respond tonight
• 23:27
  Speaker 12: as we go back and evaluate it and what's next.
• 23:30
  Speaker 12: You can't worry about 10 weeks down the road. You've
• 23:32
  Speaker 12: got to control what's in front of you right now.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: One conference loss, though. So if they just get to
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten championship game, they've got a chance to
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: get the automatic bid by winning the Big Ten. I
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: think it was Oklahoma State. Oh, my bad, my bad.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: But they do have, like, them rolling in Columbus this
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: year and winning doesn't really seem believable at this moment.
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: But can Oregon get in at 9-3? Well, I think.
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: You can, you know, we always hear from the committee
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: they'll take key injuries into account. Obviously, you've got a
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: key injury right here. You don't have a starting quarterback
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: for this game. That's right. So you do wonder if
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: it comes down to Oregon versus someone else, if they
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: look back at this game and say, They didn't have
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Dante Moore. When they had Dante Moore, this team was
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: a different team. And how many Big Ten teams are
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: in line to get the playoffs? If they need a
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: third team, can Oregon be that team when you get
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to that point? Real quickly, before we take our next break,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: Texas A & M back to the SEC. They get
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: rolled by Missouri and cut 13, if you can. First Browning,
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: this is the other team you're talking about that's missing
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator. They're a disaster on offense. And not
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: that Marcel Reed was great last year, but somehow Colin Klein, Lance,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: got him to the college football playoff. Colin plays for
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Marcel Reed, and he is infinitely worse this year than
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: he was last year. And they're a bad football team.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: They're not even a good football team.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Well, and on the other side, you know, Elko was
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: one of the best defense coordinators in football, and A &
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: M is always in their 8-4 every year, has always
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: prided themselves on getting to the quarterback. They're unable to
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: do that right now.
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the only quarterback statistically worse than Marcel Reed are
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the two Tennessee quarterbacks in the SEC. That's it. Every
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: other starter in the SEC is statistically better than Marcel Reed.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Holman Wiggins is the new offensive coordinator. They got sacked
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: three times. But look, they can't run the ball either.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: They have K.J. Edwards, 20 yards. Mara, 14 yards. Reuben Owens,
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: 13 yards. And by the way, I don't know if
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: you guys know this. Mario Kraber is still on the team.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Does he ever touch it? One catch, six yards. Isaiah Horton,
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: two catches, 22 yards. Not a whole lot of production there.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: They can't get it to the guys.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: They're going to end up being the most disappointing team
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: in the SEC.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: You mentioned Elko's defense. 34 carries, Jamal Roberts. There's not
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of fancy in that. That's 34 carries for
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: 222 yards. His defense has fallen off at the same
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: time that Marcel Reed has just disappeared.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: And we thought Ahmaud Hardy would be a big deal.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: It hasn't been a big deal because Jamal Roberts has
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: become a superstar in this league. But yeah, A & M,
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: they're just completely broken on both sides of the ball.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Now here's Mike Elko, cut 13, getting asked about his
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: message to the fan base. Now that's the key here.
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: What do you tell A & M fans who, you know,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Coming off 11 wins in the playoffs, they thought you
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: were going to be a playoff team. What do you
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: tell your fan base, Mike Elko?
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: Mike, just overall, what.
• 26:23
  Speaker 9: Would your message be to the fan base that we
• 26:25
  Speaker 9: might be worried about the team right now?
• 26:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, again, there's a difference to me between the fan
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: base and social media. And so there's one group that
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: I really don't care much about. You know, Billy Sesspool
• 26:38
  Speaker 5: can go be Billy Sesspool. Our fan base, stay with us.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Be behind us. We're going to build something that we
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: told you we were going to build. We're in a
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: really bad spot right now, but we'll work our way.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: Out of it. I don't understand why you go that route.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Tex Ags, Billy Lucci, is it who they're talking about?
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I thought there was an affiliation. I just
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: remember when we did the shows in Dallas for the
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: SEC Media Days two years ago, I remember talking to
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: Billy and specifically talking about Elko, and he was a
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: big Elko fan, like, I think we've got a massive
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: upgraded coach.
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: He doesn't get the job if it wasn't for Tex
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: Ags and Billy Lucci. They were going to hire Mark
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: Stoops when they hired Mike Elko. And it had leaked
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: out that Billy had reported, and Tex Ags had reported,
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: that Mark Stoops was going to be the coach. And
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Billy didn't want Mark Stoops. And the Texas A &
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: M fan base that follow on Texags, they had the outcry, no,
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: we don't want Mark Stoops. We don't want Mark Stoops.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: We don't want Mark Stoops. And Billy Lucci says, we
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: need Mike Elko back.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to pretend to know what he's been saying, but, like,
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: what has Texags been doing?
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you, but all I know is this.
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: That's a terrible look.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: You know what they're doing? They're buying tickets. They're donating
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: to NIL. They're making donations to the program. And we
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: said it with Ryan Grubb, and Ryan Grubb says, hey, look,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I was trying to make a joke. I screwed it up, right?
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: There was nowhere near as bad as that, by the way.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: He was talking about fans booing. When you start to
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: turn on your fans, it goes quick, buddy. Elko better
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: be really, really careful with this.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: I thought it was easy a couple of weeks ago
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: when I said Auburn wasn't going to make a bowl.
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: A & M' s not making a bowl. That's crazy.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: It is crazy.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: And top 10 team preseason, by the way, I think,
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: if I remember correctly. Unranked. They're good. They're in Oklahoma.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: They're in Oklahoma and Oregon. By the way, are any
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: of them on your sheet over there?
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: No.
• 28:28
  Speaker 13: Okay.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: Every year we do this. Is there a part of
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: you that sometimes when you see a coach do this,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, 11 wins in a playoffs last year, home
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: playoff game, and then he says this afterwards, $ 69 million
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: was his contract. There's probably $ 50 million of that still
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: on the table. Is there a part of you that
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: sometimes you think these coaches are now thinking to themselves,
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe if I get run out, maybe that's the better life. Yeah,
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: maybe I can just go live high on the hog.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: You know, I could see him coming home and, you know,
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: bitching and complaining to his wife. Hey, look, you understand
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: if you get fired, how much better our life is
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: going to be.
• 29:07
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Do you really want to deal with Billy Sesspool the
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: rest of your life? I mean, you throw that out
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: there and you're like, man, that's the fast way to
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: getting a $ 40- plus million job. It really is.
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Because I don't know how you patch that up with
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: Billy Lucha. Unless, you know, he already made a call
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: immediately and– I mean, you break that relationship. I mean,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Billy Lucci is really big around that program, whether you
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: like him or not.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you who it helps. It helps Billy Lucci
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: and Tex Axe. Because, man, you could sell the Billy
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Cesspool t-shirts from now until the moon. If they didn't
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: have a new forum called Billy Sespool on Sunday, he
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: was crazy. Absolutely. I think his girlfriend and or wife.
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: Billy's not my girl. Billy's not Velko's. Even though there
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: are a lot of AI pictures out there this weekend
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: that are not true, by the way. But Billy with
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: his girlfriend or wife, I don't know if he's married,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: but it was a very attractive woman with Billy Lucci
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: somewhere saying, Just hanging out on Sunday with Billy Sesspool.
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: Did you really?
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: I thought that was pretty funny. All right. Quick break here.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: The show being brought to you by our friends. Is
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: this still the opening segment? I couldn't remember. Have we
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: had to break this?
• 30:12
  Speaker 9: It is.
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: Hard Rock Bat. This is the next round on Sporting State.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Really quick conversation here about some more college football games.
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: NFL in the final segment. We've got two more. Ours,
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the second half of the next round coming up on
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: our platform at Next Round Live. At Next Round Live,
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: you can go there, like and subscribe on YouTube and
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: all of our social platforms. Before LT tells us about
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: Clay Travis Law, Duke went to Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech wins.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Best sign of the weekend? Maybe. Right there in a
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: frat house at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. It simply said,
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: remember the Blue Devils of Duke? It simply said, The
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: devil went down to Georgia and got his ass beat.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech on top of that blue devil. Pretty cool sign.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was one of those watching that final kick.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I was like, he's going to miss his kick. You
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: can't trust college kickers.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: You cannot. You cannot. We'll get a lot more of
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: the reaction from Alabama, Georgia, and how big of a
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: game it was from Kirby coming up in the final
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: two hours, second half of the next round. I think
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: this is AI, I think, because I was at the
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Bama game. I didn't watch LSU-Kentucky play. Were Kentucky really
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: sending in play calls with those signs? I did not
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: see that. Tri-delts? No. Alpha Chi? No. No, that was on.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: By the way, the primetime slate was spectacular with Bama, Georgia, USC,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: Penn State, and Kentucky, LSU. So I had those three
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: games on my three screens. So I was bouncing around
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: a lot. I did not see that actually in the game. Brooks,
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: any word on A.I.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: There?
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Did that really happen? Maybe that's just the way they
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: cover up the signs or what. But the way I
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: saw it was they were trolling Lane Kiffin. I just
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: assumed that was A.I.
• 31:57
  Speaker 13: I'm not seeing anything debunking it. The original poster of
• 32:01
  Speaker 13: it is a, his account is branded as a parody account,
• 32:06
  Speaker 13: but he was actually at the game Saturday.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:09
  Speaker 13: So he was in person at the game. And I
• 32:12
  Speaker 13: don't know if this is a real photo he took.
• 32:15
  Speaker 13: There'd be a lot of work to be able to, to,
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: I don't know how much work it would be actually,
• 32:19
  Speaker 13: but to generate something AI sitting in the stadium.
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, it'd be really easy. I mean, You see what
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: we do on Tuesdays and Fridays.
• 32:27
  Speaker 11: Hey, it is, in fact, from a parody account.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going to say it. That's what I was saying.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: I thought it was. But it was so good, I
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: wanted to show it on the show. I thought it
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: was hilarious. No, it's a great idea. Somebody will do
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: it now. You would have to think, right? All right,
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: tell us about Clay Travis Law.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Hey, accidents do not wait for a good time. One
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: bad moment, a wreck, a fall, a doctor who wasn't
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: paying attention, and suddenly you're fighting an insurance company that
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: does this every single day. That's why Clay started Clay
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: Travis Law. Built a firm around one idea. People deserve one.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Someone willing to pay attention, ask those hard questions, and
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: push back when things don't add up. Experienced trial attorneys

• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to say who we got it from,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: but Lance got the same text. I got the same text.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: I'm sure somebody said it to Brownie. But basically, it
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: said you guys can slow down on the John Sumrall
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: coronation now. Might have crammed him a little quick. Two
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: losses in a row. Bad one. One was you've got
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: to handle success. The second one, you've got to handle
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the disappointment of a loss, back-to-back losses. Where are you
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: in Florida right now after they lose to South Carolina?
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: Blown away. And that might just be an Auburn thing
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: because who sent that text is an Auburn fan.
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: Maybe y'all should stop the John Summerall coronation five laughing
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: emojis for my guy who's 63.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Watching with my buddy Scotty, who's an Auburn fan on Saturday,
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: he said the same thing, like, It looked bad for
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: Auburn fans, goalish versus Summerall early on, but where's Summerall
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: after these last two games? I understood them getting dominated
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: to a point against Missouri, but to come home. The
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: thing we talked about last week was, will South Carolina
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: even show up? Can they make this a semblance of
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: a game? Where are they after that 17-point blown lead?
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: It was the other team, and Summerall was saying all
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: the right things throughout the week. We haven't earned anything.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: We got our ass whipped. These guys are disappointed. Now
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: they know what defeat tastes like. It was worse Saturday.
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Lenores played his ass off, but I was shocked that
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, that was maybe, that was more shocking than UCLA.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: That would have been more shocking than Nebraska winning. The
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: way South Carolina won that game.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: And you know who else played their ass off? Dylan
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Stewart coming back off the suspension. He had a game.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: Forced two fumbles, seemed to have a good attitude. And
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: to me, that shows you the respect they have in
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: that locker room for Shane Beamer. Here's John Summerall afterwards,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: because I want to play a little bit off of
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: what he's saying right here.
• 35:16
  Speaker 9: I see us every day. We are very much a
• 35:19
  Speaker 9: work in progress. Even after the Ole Miss game, I
• 35:26
  Speaker 9: was uneasy. We have nowhere, I mean, two weeks ago today,
• 35:32
  Speaker 9: we had nowhere near arrived. Now, we clearly haven't arrived
• 35:37
  Speaker 9: the last two weeks because we've been exposed in a
• 35:40
  Speaker 9: pretty substantial way. We're the same football team. We haven't
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: gotten better and improved in certain areas to maybe offset
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: our weaknesses.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Exposed was a key word there because all of a sudden,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: the wizard of offense. The inventor? Buster Faulkner's offense. The
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: sixth day he invented it. They can't get running holes
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: for Jaden Baugh anymore.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't remember Joe Brady ever having a
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: lull like this in 2019 when we started to say this.
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: Because it was, for a minute, very Joe Brady-like as
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: far as everybody talking about You know, the one thing
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: that is going right for Florida is Buster Faulkner's offense.
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: You're right.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: I mean, Ball hadn't gotten it back together.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: 72 yards the last two games combined for Ball. If
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: he had had 72 per game the last two games,
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: we would have been like, hmm, what's happened there? He's
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: had 72 total the last two games. Yeah, and I
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: apologize to Forrester. I thought we played the soundbite on
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: the air, but we didn't. But finally, a lot of
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: searching finally found it. I think on Friday night, Buster saying, listen,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: we don't change up a lot of things week to week.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: We just– We are who we are. We're going to
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: run what we run. And a lot of tape now
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: by really good defensive coordinators in the SEC, and they've
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: been unable to, against Missouri and South Carolina, unable to
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: find any offense. Well, you want some bad news? That
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: offense is struggling, and your next two games are against
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: probably the two best defenses in the league, two of
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: the three at least, because they play Texas and Georgia
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: the next two. That's two really good defenses.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: Ball struggling, which exposes more of the limitations maybe from Philo.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: No Vernell Brown again, so that'll help once he comes
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: back into the fold. But those, at least right now,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: don't look like very winnable games. That was the first
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: South Carolina SEC win in 13 months, and they won
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: it going away.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: They did win it going away, and I should have
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: added Oklahoma's after that. So, Lance, the next three games, Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma,
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: that might be the three best defenses in the SEC. Alabama.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Alabama.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: At a time where they don't play Alabama, though. But
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: at a time where your offense is struggling, that's who
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: they've got to play.
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they went from, you know, after that 52-28
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: win over Ole Miss, we were like, this is a
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: damn college football playoff team.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: You know, they may be two more losses. Are they
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: going to be at a bowl?
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: It's insane how much things change week to week.
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but we did. After Ole Miss, we were like, well,
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: they'll beat Missouri. They'll beat South Carolina. I mean, even
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: if they... They just win one of the three between Texas, Georgia,
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: and Oklahoma. They're still a playoff team. And I don't
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: know what this says about Beamer. I mean, this felt
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: so predictable with him, right, that he's going to be
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: hot seat, hot seat, having to answer the questions. And then, boom,
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: he goes and finds a win out of nowhere. Cut ten, Tyler.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: Pulls one out of his you-know-what. And, yeah, look, says
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: all the right things afterwards. I mean, I just don't
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: know where– I think Beamer may end up saving his job.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: We talked about it last week. Just based on where
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: they were financially.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: And this will be an excuse. I mean, you don't
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: have to fire him with wins like this.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: This makes it easier. He's 3-3. His losses don't look
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: as bad. Kentucky, Alabama, and State are his losses. Three
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: pretty good teams. Three ranked teams right now. Here's Shane Beamer.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: He led in two of them and missed a couple
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: of drives against Alabama. And he tried to correct that
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: with some issues in suspending Dylan Stewart. But here's Beamer.
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: everybody's favorite in the Palmetto State now?
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: I think our play and our response this week speaks
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: for itself. I'm really, really happy for him. I'm really,
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: really happy for him and every player in our program,
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: every person associated with our program. That is a program win.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: For all the negativity out there this week, that is.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: A program win.
• 39:28
  Speaker 4: The way our offense played, specialty we got takeaways. Third quarter,
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: I know you guys are probably writing your articles like,
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: here we go.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Here they go again. Third quarter, what are they going
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: to do?
• 39:39
  Speaker 4: And the whole country was watching.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: And we own it.
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're the ones that have played that way
• 39:42
  Speaker 4: in the third quarter. But if you had seen our
• 39:45
  Speaker 4: locker room at halftime, you would have known we're getting
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: ready to play well in the third quarter. And there
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: was great energy, there was great resolve, and just really,
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: really happy for our team and everybody associated with our program.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: I'm going to ask this with a straight face real quick, Brown,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: before you get to your point. If they did not
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: blow 17-point leads to Mississippi State and Kentucky, this is
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: a team that would be sitting there at 5-1 with
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: one loss. With the way Lenore Sellers is playing right now,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: would we look at this schedule and say, you know what,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I can find a path for South Carolina to get
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: to a college football player?
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: Well, that's kind of what I was about to point out. Now,
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: they did blow those leads, so it's a different story here.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: But he's got a chance, a decent chance to go
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: on a semi-run here. They get a bye this week,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: and then they've got Tennessee coming off the Bama game.
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, in Williams-Brice Stadium right now, South Carolina-Tennessee, that's
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: a Tulsa up at best. Your point being the four
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: next teams struggle to score points. Yeah, you're at Oklahoma.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I don't think they'll win that game, but, I mean,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: 17 points could win that game. Then you've got A & M,
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: who's terrible right now. Then you've got Arkansas, who's even worse.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've actually got a chance to win four
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: out of five right here in the middle of this schedule,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: which I never thought would be possible. Other than Georgia.
• 40:53
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: The five of those six last games are against teams
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: that County Clemson struggle to score points. That's right. So
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: you're not going to get blown out. You're going to
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: be in every one of those games. I mean, he's
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: actually got a chance to pull this thing out of
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: the fire right now and end up with a decent
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: record if they can continue this type of play. Yeah.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Who knew the toughest stretch was going to be State, Alabama,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: and Kentucky? I know. It is, though. We'll talk the
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: NFL when we come back and get back to college
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: football in the second half. of the next round. This
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: is the next round presented by Hard Rock Bet on
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: Sporting State. Back with you on the next round presented
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: by Hard Rock Bet. We're to the ALSNLCS. Started with
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the National League last night. Milwaukee wins it 2-1 over
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: the Dodgers. $ 339 million payroll for the Dodgers. All the
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: other three teams left add up to less than that,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: including the Brewers at $ 146 million. Game two this afternoon,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: either on Fox or FS1, four o'clock, Dodgers minus 137
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: at Hard Rock Bet. I bet you've got to play
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: at lanceslock.com.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: I am about to send these plays in right here.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: Yamamoto has just been unbelievable in the postseason, like virtually unhittable.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: Eight and one in his 11 postseason games with just
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: barely above a two ERA.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: Dodgers and Brewers today and The Tampa Bay Rays start
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: tonight as a minus 172 favorite in this game against Cleveland.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, massive, massive favorite is your team. But, boy, they've
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: been so good. They're 5-1 against the Guardians this year.
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: They're 55-26 at home. And Tampa's got a lot of
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: momentum going into this series.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: I feel like tickets are still available for the game
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: if you want to go by and get one without
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: the Yankees being there. Cleveland playing primetime tonight, Cleveland and
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. sorry to your white socks for sure. They
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: couldn't survive on Saturday. I didn't see any of the game.
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: Was it close? How did it go? How heartbroken are you?
• 42:51
  Speaker 7: Um, I I'm, I'm okay now, but, uh, I, I,
• 42:56
  Speaker 7: I still feel like the, uh, the series was lost
• 42:59
  Speaker 7: after the second game in Chicago. I felt like it
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: was almost a foregone conclusion after, after that.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Um, You can't make contact with the baseball the final
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: three games. It was crazy.
• 43:08
  Speaker 7: 52 strikeouts in the last three games of that series.
• 43:15
  Speaker 7: Three days after striking out 19 times. They struck out
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: 21 times Saturday.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: Was that a problem this year, though?
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Okay.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: So they struck out 21 times on Saturday?
• 43:27
  Speaker 11: Yes, three days after striking out 19 times.
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: But I saw your social media. They broke their own record?
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: They did.
• 43:33
  Speaker 11: They broke their own three-day-old record.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: I saw your social media post with your beautiful daughters
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: wearing the Sox jerseys, and I liked your approach. You're like, man,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: if you had told me at the start of the
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: year this is where we were, I'd have taken it
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: in a heartbeat, basically, is what you said, right?
• 43:48
  Speaker 11: I am doing my best to look at it through
• 43:50
  Speaker 11: that lens. You've got to.
• 43:52
  Speaker 7: Coming into a season with no expectations.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: Exactly. And how excited are you for next season now?
• 43:57
  Speaker 11: Three 100-loss seasons in a row.
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: That's right.
• 44:00
  Speaker 11: One of those being the worst season that anybody's ever had.
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but, Brown, 93 times, the best of five, somebody's
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: been up 2-0, and they've hit it 83 times.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 44:11
  Speaker 7: And that's why I'm struggling to look at it through
• 44:14
  Speaker 7: that lens, because you're up. 2-0 yeah at your own
• 44:18
  Speaker 7: place but.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: You're more excited for a white sock season next year
• 44:21

  Speaker 1: Hardrock.bet backslash clay for our friends at Hardrock. Tonight, Bills
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: and Rams. Rams a three and a half point favorite.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: 7-15 on ESPN. This potentially two of the best teams,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: if not at times the two best teams in the
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: league over the last couple of years. your expectations tonight.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Well, the good news for the Rams, you get Aaron
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: Donald back, you get one of your starting quarters in
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: Jalen Watson back, you get your number one tight end
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: in Colby Parkinson back, so that's all good. The bad
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: news is Josh Allen coming off a loss, watching this
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: game the last time these two played in SoFi, it
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: was two years ago, December of 2024. Rams end up
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: holding up 44-42, but Josh Allen had six touchdowns.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: No turnovers.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: The first player... in the super bowl era to go
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: three passing touchdowns three rushing touchdowns he is just a
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: freaking beast.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I thought you're about to give me a alan stat
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: coming off a loss coming off a loss he's such
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: and such but it's got to be a great.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Record it has to be i haven't seen this but
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: you know the rams are the first team since 1940
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: the 1949 eagles to out gain three straight opponents which
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: are on right now by 200 plus yards now they're
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: only two and one in that stretch because they blew
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: the 16-0 lead to denver But their defense is playing really,
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: really well. I don't think that matters. I don't care
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: how good a defense is. You can't shut Josh Allen down.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: You can't defend Josh Allen because he does so many
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: things off script.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I am scared to death.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: Eight of their last nine times they played the Rams,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: they've gone 30-plus points. Rams are going to have to
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: slow it down, but this is a hell of a game.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: Will you watch it?
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: Probably.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: But, you know, watching San Francisco find a way to win,
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: even banged up on the road against Seattle, like you
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: don't need to drop three games behind the 49ers at
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: this point.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: San Francisco does win 32-29 against Seattle. Mike Evans has
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: become a very important part of what they do. He has, man.
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: And he just, you know, he's like fine wine. His
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: hands are so freaking good and in clutch third down
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: situations when Brock Purdy needs to move the chains, that's
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: who he's going to. But I thought after they turned
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: it over, so I think, yeah, Jason Myers had hit
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: the field goal, and then the very next possession, they
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: turn it over, Seattle gets it, gets the touchdown. At
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: that point, I thought Seattle was going to win that game.
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: And San Francisco, they don't get phased, and 5-0 again.
• 47:40
  Speaker 1: Listen, last night, Ravens over the Falcons. I was watching
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit of that while I was doing show notes,
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: and I thought the Falcons were going to win the game.
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: But in the end, Derrick Henry and the Ravens win.
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: Freddie Falcon, the mascot. This is crazy. Did you see
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: what he did? I saw him show it on the broadcast.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: He comes in on a slack line up at the
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: top of Mercedes Benz. Now, he's got a harness, a
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: safety harness on. He's tied off, but still. But that's
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: still pretty good to walk that slack line like he
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: did way above the— The Mercedes Benz with the dome
• 48:14
  Speaker 1: open up there.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Now, Tyler, you said it's a felony if you throw
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: a water bottle in traffic. If you threw a water
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: bottle at the Falcon here, would that be a felony?
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: I would think you would just go ahead and call
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: that attempted murder.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to take a strong arm, too. Now,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: he's got a big cable and a hook on his
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: back and a harness and all that. Wimp. Because sometimes
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: they do come, he probably comes in from the rafters
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: sometimes on that hook. But that was a pretty cool
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: scene last night. I'll give Collinsworth credit for a good line.
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: A lot of people don't like Collinsworth. They showed it.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Collinsworth's like... He knows that's just a costume, right? He
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: can't really fly. That's a good line.
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: Don't you think, though, to add a little excitement, what
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: you do is you put him up on that line
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: without telling anybody, and you pull out the T-shirt gun.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: You shoot one.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: He does full extension to lay out. Everybody's terrified he
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: goes into the net or has the harness.
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: I assume at the end of this, I didn't see
• 49:06
  Speaker 1: the broadcast last night, he jumps and comes down like
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: he always does. They didn't show that. I don't know
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: what he does. That was pretty crazy. I thought it
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: was a beautiful scene last night in Atlanta, but the
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Ravens win. um boy josh jameer gibbs and the lions
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: beat arizona 45 21 that lions team because of the
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: points they can score remains to be dangerous to.
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: Me yeah i just don't trust the defense you know
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: one of the worst defenses i mean technically it was
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: the worst scoring defense coming into the game they got
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: up seven or they were down seven nothing to cardinals
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: and It still is the Cardinals.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean, that division, Jim, is pretty crazy
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: right now. Like Minnesota, sometimes they can't score. They were
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: a little better Sunday. Beat New Orleans. Beat New Orleans.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: The Bears, you know, offense has completely disappeared. Packers killed them. Yeah,
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: but the Packers are wildly inconsistent. They get killed by
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: the Falcons. They turn around, they drill the Bears. I
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: don't know what to make of that division. Like, I
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: don't know if the Lions might be your favorite to
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: win it right now. Yeah, I like the way they play.
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: I wanted to bring up while we're on Arizona. D'Amico
• 50:08
  Speaker 1: Ryan's confirmed after the Houston's win that the Texans are
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: trading for Marvin Harrison Jr. So they're about to get
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: him away from Arizona.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: I think D'Amico and, you know, in front office had
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: a conversation with C.J.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: Stroud.
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: He needs another weapon outside of Nico Collins. And I
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: think he believes with the rapport they had in Columbus
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: that maybe that can be something they get going in Houston.
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: Too little, too late, though. I mean, you're one in four.
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: In a division where Jacksonville's 4-1.
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, if you're 1-4 in the NFC East,
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: not a big deal. I saw today the analytics, the
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Cowboys coming off a loss at home to Tampa, 63%
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: chance of winning that division.
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: Look what the rest of the division did, though. Philadelphia
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: has a bonehead ending.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, what was the worst ending? I mean, the Commanders
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: was the worst.
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: The Commanders was the worst, and they ended in a tie. Like,
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: everybody in that division had a chance to make up
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: ground on Dallas, and Philadelphia's like, nope, we're going to
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: give it away at the end. And the Giants and
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Washington are like... For those that aren't following it, the
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Giants are in first place. They're 3-1-1. But the Cowboys
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: have a better chance coming off a loss to win
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: the division. Well, because the Giants are starting Jameis Winston.
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: The Giants and the Commanders played to a 27-27 tie.
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Explain to people that didn't see it what happened. So
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: the Giants, in overtime, fumble the ball with two minutes
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: to go in overtime. Scadaboo fumbles to Washington. Washington only
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: has to kick a field goal to win. They drive
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: it down. They've got 45 seconds that they just let
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: run off the clock. And then with, was it 13
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: seconds to go when he took the snap, Lance? Do
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: you remember?
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: I thought it was eight.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: No, it was 13. 13 seconds. Jaden Daniels takes the
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: snap with no timeouts, mind you, rolls out, decides to
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: pull it down and run in the middle of the field,
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: and the clock runs out. You can't explain what either
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels or Dan Quinn were thinking to let all
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: that time run out and then run a play. I
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: don't understand... just spike it or something. Why do you
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: let all that time run off and then just run
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: a play?
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: Well, and in that point, and I want to get
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: the exact yardage here, you had the ball. I thought
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: it was on the 31.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: He was sacked at the New York 24. So anyway,
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: it's right at a 40-yard field goal before that play.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Why are you running clock? New York's already had their possession.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: It's overtime. It's over. You walk off.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you walk it off, and instead you put yourself
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: in a situation where Dan Quinn completely lost that game.
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: He did. I don't know what you're doing. It's inexplicable.
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: Because you would say if they still had time, if
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: they were getting possession back. It matters. But it's a walk-off.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: That's right. We're in sudden death at that point. Next
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: team scores. Nobody could figure it out. I'm watching the game,
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: and nobody could figure out what was going on. They're like,
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: why are they letting all this time run off? And
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: then when Jaden Daniels starts rolling, they're like, what are
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: they doing?
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Jaden Daniels took the responsibility after the game,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: but he shouldn't have.
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: No, that's not your coach.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you shouldn't have taken a snap.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why you're out there competing. And then the Eagles,
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: just the opposite. They left too much time on the
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: clock to allow the Jaguars to win. But even still,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: how would, excuse me, eight seconds to go kicking off,
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: you lose that game.
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't, you know, and people are killing Sirianni
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: and he's taking the blame too. Like I shouldn't have
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: kicked it. Homewood's Amir Abdullah, the incredible return. And to
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: be able to get down split second, bring Cam Little
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: out to drill a 57 yarder. Jacksonville was completely flat
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: where Philadelphia's offense is. And I give Hertz credit. Let
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: them down a couple of times late to put them
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: in a situation to win that game. But make a
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: tackle on special teams.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati beat Miami. Aaron Rodgers looked good. Big win for
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: the Steelers over Indianapolis. And real quickly, the Chargers 0-5.
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: And Harbaugh, you know, he says it's my fault. They
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: lose to Denver.
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: It's Herbert's fault. Like watching Herbert late in that game,
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: they had the lead. And then his last two possessions,
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: not only was he sacked a ton of times yesterday,
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: but He fumbles, throws a pick, and then he's sacked
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: on the final. Well, you've got a Hail Mary from
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: the 40. How do you get sacked on that play?
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: Sean Payton took back over play calling in the 23-17 win.
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: And Drake May was really good. I bang on him
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: all the time, but 45-17 as they rolled Las Vegas.
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: All right, that's our show here. Second half of the
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: next round continues. Buck and Clay up here on Sporting State.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: We're over on the Next Round platform at Next Round
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: Live and on all socials. You guys have a great Monday.
