  Speaker 1: twenty twenty.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Six college football season. Welcome in.

  Speaker 1: And another reminder, we are doing at least one show
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: a week through late July, and then of course the
• 0:33

• 0:46
  Speaker 1: jump in the comments. I got a brand new hat today.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I'm sure some of you will comment on this, but
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: tell me who you think this is.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: It's a team. I'm curious your thoughts.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna bet the majority of you will not be
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: able to get it, but there may be a few
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: ogs that know what's up. All right, let's not waste
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: time Let's get to the teams, all right.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: My number ten team going.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Into the twenty twenty six football season is Penn State,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: and one of the more fascinating teams heading into this season,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: not because they lack talent, not because they lack a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: proven coach. It's more because this whole thing feels like
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: an experiment to see if they can replicate what Indiana did.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Matt Campbell takes over after James Franklin was fired midseason
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and instead of slowly rebuilding, Campbell basically uprooted the chunk
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: of Iowa State and just transplanted it over to Happy Valley. Quarterback,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: running backs, tight ends, receivers, linebackers, assistant coaches. I mean,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: half of this roster is from Ames. So the question
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: isn't whether Matt Campbell can coach, Obviously he can. The
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: questions whether Iowa State football can win at Penn State,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: if what he brought in can win in the Big Ten,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: which is by all measures a better conference than the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Big Twelve, Right, And I think that's the most interesting
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: storyline in the Big Ten this year. Penn State finished
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: seven and six last season, but the number of under
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: cells kind of how weird The year was they opened
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: three to zero, fell apart, of course, the overtime loss
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: to Oregon. Then you had a bad loss to Northwestern.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: There was a loss to Ucla. There Franklin gets fired,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: and then they actually finished pretty strong. They won three
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of their final or not, I guess they won their
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: final three that included a Bowl win over Clemson and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the Penstripe Bowl. Campbell inherits a roster that is not broken,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it's just being completely redirected.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: The centerpiece of the whole transition is a quarterback. Rock
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Obeck comes over from Iowa State. He's got thirty nine
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: career starts, twenty six wins over twenty five hundred snaps
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: in Campbell's system. And that is an enormous advantage for
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: a first year staff when you completely change a coaching
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: staff and an offensive system. Having a quarterback who already
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: knows everything so beaeds up the process pretty dramatically. The receivers,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the tight ends, the running backs, it's all things that
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It's a system that Beckt has lived in for years.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: It's a system that all of these guys know. The
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: offensive identity is clear too. Campbell's gonna lean on the run.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: He's gonna use multiple tight ends, which is very welcome
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and Happy Valley. They're gonna rely on veteran quarterback play.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: They're going to keep games manageable for a year one roster.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: In the Big ten.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I think that that's the right formula, and we'll talk
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: about the schedule here in just a bit. Defensively, there's
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: reasons for optimism. Tony Rojas returns though he's coming off
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: of an acl Alex Totsch is a talented linebacker, Zion Tracy.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: He anchors the secondary, and of course, the biggest thing
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: about this is the new defensive coordinator, Dan to Lynn.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: He brings a pretty legitimate defensive system that obviously improved
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: quickly at UCLA. He moves over to USC they started
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to build some good things now, of course, he's coming
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: back to his alma mater. I think the biggest concern
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: on the roster the defensive line. They lost a ton
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of production up front. If you can't generate pressure consistently,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the team is going to be in one score games
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: every week, even with a lighter schedule this season, and
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: that's gonna be where the season gets decided. Schedule wise,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Penn State gets a very friendly start obviously you see
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: it on the screen here, Marshall, Temple, and Buffalo about
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a four touchdown favorite. Plus in all of those they
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: should be three to zero. Then Wisconsin shows up as
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: the first major test right then, of course, that's followed
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: by USC. If Campbell wins both of those, then you
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: start talking about the playoff almost immediately. And after USC,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: you've got Michigan, which is probably the toughest game on
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the schedule, you know, road game in ann Arbor. You
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: steal that one in your one, and I feel like
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: everything changes because the back.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Half of the schedule gets a lot easier.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It feels like a game that separates kind of an
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: eight win season from maybe a ten win season. The
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: ceiling for this team I think is ten and two.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: That's if Beck stays healthy, the line comes together pretty
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: quickly and the defense gets settled. The floor probably six
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and six, seven and five. That's if the front seven
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: can't hold up and the close games kind of start
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: going the wrong way. My most likely outcome is eight
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: and four here, maybe nine and three if the close
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: games bounce their way. And I say eight and four
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: just because I don't necessarily trust that a big twelve
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: team that wasn't a great Big twelve team can come
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in and just automatically win in the Big ten.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: And that's basically what we've got.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Although you know, James Madison came in and won in
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the Big ten almost immediately, but they, you know, I
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: think they supplemented their roster a little differently. I don't
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: know that I've seen that from Penn State just yet.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: The market win total is eight and a half pretty
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: much everywhere at nine.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: And a half.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I would lean under. At eight and a half, there's
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: not enough value either way. This one's going to be
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a no bet for me. It's too many unknowns, despite
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you know, a genuinely capable coaching staff. I think the
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: best way to describe Penn State heading into twenty twenty
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: six it's this is an Iowa State transplant with Big
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: ten talent, right. That combination can win nine games, but
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: every close game is going to make Penn State fans
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: really nervous. So let's go with My most likely prediction
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: would be eight and four. So even at eight and
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: a half, I would lean under, but I don't like
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: the juice enough to actually make a pick on that,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: So let's go with eight and four.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: For Penn State on this.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: What Extra Winning Cures Everything content and a way to
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: support the show directly head over to buy me a
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: coffee dot com slash Winning Cures and become part of
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: the community today. Texas A and M at number nine
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: is one of the toughest teams in college football to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: evaluate this year, because on paper, it absolutely looks like
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a playoff caliber roster. You got the returning quarterback, one
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: of the best receiver rooms in the SEC, A secondary
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: that you know should be outstanding, and then Mike Gelko
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: coming off at eleven and two season in the College
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Football Playoff appearance. But there's certainly warning signs as well.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: The offensive line is almost completely rebuilt, they lost the
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: SEC defensive player of the year, and when the competition
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: got hardest late last season, things got pretty shaky.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: Right. You lost to Texas.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: At the end of the season, and then of course
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: lost to Miami in the playoff, and both of those
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: games raised questions. The conversation is not whether A and
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: M is talented, it's whether they are ready to become
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: a consistently elite program. Marcel Reid is back. I think
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: he's one of the most interesting quarterbacks in the SEC.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: He had over thirty one hundred passing yards last year,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: twenty five touchdown passes, nearly five hundred rushing yards. Like
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a legitimate dual threat who you know can make explosive
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: plays inside and outside the pocket, but he needs to
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: clean up the interceptions, stop forcing throws and critical situations and.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Take the next step.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: As a I guess the decision maker. When you look
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: at the late season losses, the inconsistency started to show up.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: If Reid gets to the next level, A and M
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: becomes a different team. And the smartest way that you
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: can help a quarterback in that situation is give him
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: a receiver room that might be the best that they've
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: had in college station Mario Craver returns after he earned
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: All SEC honors. Ashton Bethel Roman is a proven weapon,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: excuse me weapon, and they landed Isaiah Horton from Alabama
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and the portal like that edition alone is pretty massive.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: You pair those guys with Reed's mobility and you've got
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: a genuinely dangerous passing attack. So long as Reed can
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: find the guys, ruben owens the second returns, he anchors
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: the backfield weapons are there.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: The problem is the offensive line. We have no idea
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: what to expect here. You've got four NFL linemen gone.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Mark Nabu Junior is the only returning Starre and A
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and M did attack the portal will conform me from Alabama,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: Tyree Adams from LSU, along with multiple guys with SE's experience.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: But adding talent and building chemistry are two different things.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I feel like the offensive line is the biggest issue
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: for the majority of teams in the top twenty right now.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: If the line doesn't go fast, everything becomes just significantly
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: harder right, shorter windows downfield, less effective run game, and
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: read taking hits that he shouldn't be taking.
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: Defensively, I mean, it's some my Coco.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: Defense right Like, I think the group has a real
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: shot at being good again.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: The secondary is elite. You got guys like Marcus.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Ratliffe, Ratcliffe, excuse me, Dalton Brooks and des Ricks all back.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: They finished third in SEC in pass defense last season.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Now, some of that had to do with the schedule,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: but they should continue to play at a high level
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: this season. The question for this team is replacing Cash's
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: Howell Player of the Year in the SEC. You don't
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: just replace a guy like that. Marco Jones needs a
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: big leap and Anto Soaka he was added to help
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: the pass rush. But until somebody proves they can generate
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: consistent pressure, the question mark stays on the board. Right
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Ray Cooney from Tulsa, he's a nice addition at linebacker
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to help against the run, but the pass rush is
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: the thing. Holman Wiggins takes over the offense from Colin Klein,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: you'll probably see more spread concepts. I would imagine more
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: emphasis on getting playmakers in space and less of the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: heavy tight end usage from a year ago. And they've
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: got more weapons at receiver, so you don't have to
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: necessarily rely on your tight ends as much. Schedule wise,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: let's look at this thing. A and M should start
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: three and zero. You got Missouri State, you got Arizona State,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and he got Kentucky all at home, but then.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: You got your road trip to LSU in week four.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Now LSU will be coming off of that emotional road
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: trip to Oxford, the homecoming for Lane Kiffin, if you will,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: that game is going to be enormous for them. When that,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: and of course you start talking CFP again, you lose
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: that and of course there's no more margin for error.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: At that point. The back end of the schedule is
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: pretty brutal.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: You've got at Alabama in Week eight, then you got
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: a bye week, then you play South Carolina, Tennessee, Oklahoma,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: and Texas and it's one of the hardest closing stretches
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: in the country.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Like, if you can go three and.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Two in those five games, that's probably the whole season
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: right there, but you would still need that win over
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: LSU as well. The ceiling for this team probably probably
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: eleven and one, you know, SEC championship contender, and that's
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: assuming that the lines come.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Together and Read takes the next step. Floor is eight
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: and four.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: If the line and the pass rush both disappoint, Reid
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: doesn't take that next step, et cetera. My most likely
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: outcome here, my prediction on it is nine to three.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: The wind total is sitting at eight and a half.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: The over is available around even money. I would lean
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: the over, and that's mostly just because I trust Mike Coco,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: like he has built a real culture there, recruited well,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: shown he can.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: Compete at the SEC's highest level. And A and M.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, they've got the quarterback, they've got the weapons,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: they got the secondary. Now I guess we got to
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: find out if they have the trenches to be able
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: to compete for championships. And I think the biggest question
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: is can you beat Texas. That's the biggest question right now.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: I think they probably can, but ah, it's it's gonna
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: be difficult. It's certainly gonna be difficult. That back half
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: of the schedule does not set up well, so you're
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: gonna have to get off to a hot start in
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: college station. Are you tired of sore knees or joints
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: slowing you down? Ghost Leaves uses built in kinesiology tape
• 12:59

• 13:03
  Speaker 1: recover faster. Use codewce for fifteen percent off over at
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: ghost leaves dot com. The Alabama Crimson Tide come in
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: at number eight in my Power ratings. And this is
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: another incredibly difficult team to figure out heading into twenty
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: twenty six. And I know that sounds strange. Usually the
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: conversation starts with national championship expectations and works backwards in Tuscaloosa,
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: but this year certainly feels different, not because the talent disappeared,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: but because, for maybe the first time under Kailyn to board.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: There are actual questions in places that Alabama fans are
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: not used to having questions quarterback, offensive line, run game,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: inside linebacker. I mean, just at places that are normally givens.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: We don't know exactly what to expect. Now, before we
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: get too dark, let's acknowledge what the program did last year, right.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Alabama win eleven and.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: Four, reached the SEC Championship Game, made the College Football Playoff,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: got to win in the playoff on the road at Oklahoma,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: and they beat Georgia in Athens last year like most
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: programs would hang a banner. But the ugly opener against
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Florida State, the loss at home to Oklahoma in the
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: middle of the year, the loss to Georgia in the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: SEC Championship game, got just demolished in that game, and
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: then getting blown out by Indiana and the Rose Bowl,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: all of them left pretty bad tastes in Alabama fans.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Mouse I will say that the feeling around the program
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: is I guess you could say unfinished business.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I think that's fair.
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: The biggest story on offense is the quarterback battle Austin
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: Mack and Keeland Russell. Matt gives you, I guess stability.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: He knows the system well, He's worked with Grub and
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Debor for years now. It feels like he would be
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: the safe choice. But Russell is the guy that everybody's
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: talking about, and I would think for good reason. His mobility,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: arm talent, what he did in the spring game, his
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: ability to create outside structure that could cover up some
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: of the problems elsewhere on this offense. If Russell is
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: ready early, Alabama becomes significantly more dangerous. If the competition
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: bleeds into October, things could certainly get messy because you've
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: got an easy opening to this schedule, but there's losable
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: games there, road game at Kentucky, game against South Carolina
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Florida State of course beat them last year.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: Not easy.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: The offensive line, I think is the biggest concern on
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: the entire roster. Procter's gone, Parker Burills for the center
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: is gone. Alabama brought in Race Ilgatti from cal Poly
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: and Javen James from Mississippi State. The hired Adrian Klem
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: as the new offensive line coach to fix the room,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: but adding bodies is not the same as fixing a unit.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: Although they did, I think it was Eight of the
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: top ten guys are gone from last year because they
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: just wanted to revamp this whole thing, and they they
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: certainly brought in a lot of talent. It's not a
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: lot of experienced talent though. Last year this offense averaged
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: three point four yards per carry. They get three point four.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: That is not Alabama football, And I think that's the
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: single most alarming stat on the entire roster. At receiver, obviously,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: you've still got talent Ryan Coleman, Williams, he's got to
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: bounce back. He had too many drops in his sophomore year.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Lazier Brooks is back, Derek Meadows, and Rico Scott and
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Siderian Morgan. They all add upside here. If the quarterback
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: gets settled fast, the receiver room certainly can be one
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: of the best in the conference, maybe in the country. Defensively,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: I think this is where you trust this part, like
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: you trust.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: This side of the ball more than the offense.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Right now, secondary might be the best position group on
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: the entire roster, might be the best in the country.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Zabian Brown looks like a future first round pick. Kean
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: sab the former Michigan transfer, and then Bray Hubbard.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: They're both back. Kane Womack has enough talent.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: In the back end to be creative with his coverages,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: like the pass rush has got intriguing pieces. Yonzay Pierre
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: feels like the next great Alabama edge. He certainly showed
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: flashes of it last season. Devin Tompkins coming over from
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: USC and then of course you've got from South Carolina.
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: Desmond Ulmiozulu probably.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Didn't say that right, but you guys can correct me
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: in the comments. You've got real options there. The front
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: got noticeably bigger through the portal. Alabama got pushed around
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: physically and in some pretty key games last year. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: the fact, I mean the Rose Bowl was just the
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: key to the whole thing. Like they ran the Indiana
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: ran the ball on Alabama fifty times. That is outrageous.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: The concern right now, I think is inside linebacker Caleb
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: Woodson comes in from Virginia Tech. He should help immediately.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: But beyond him, I mean, there's a lot of unproven
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: players who are going to be asked to play meaningful
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: SEC snaps and that kind of stuff gets exposed pretty
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: quickly in this conference. As far as the schedule, we
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: talked about the early part, you know, the early runway
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: there ECU, Kentucky, Florida State, South Carolina, Misissippi State. You
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: should be able to stack wins there while you figure
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: out the quarterback in the offensive line. But the season
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: changes pretty quick once you get into October. Georgia comes
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: to town road game at Tennessee, Texas A and M.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Then you got your buy in a road game to LSU.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Those four games are the entire season. Like, you win
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: three and you're a playoff team. You split them and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: you're still alive. You go one in three and you're
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: fighting just to reach what nine wins. So the ceiling
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: for this team is probably eleven and one. There's going
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: to be a loss in there somewhere. If Russell wins
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: the job early and the line stabilizes and then that
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: defense continues to play top ten football the way that
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: we know that they can, that's how you get to
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: eleven wins. The floor is probably eight and four, like,
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: and that's if the trench is state mess and the
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: quarterback battle drags on and whatnot. My most likely outcome
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: here is nine and three, and that would be you know,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: you lose to Georgia, you lose to either or you
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: would end up losing like two of the games to Tennessee,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Texas A and M or LSU, or you just lose
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: one to South Carolina or Kentucky or somebody that you're
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: not expecting. Right, I got the win total sits at
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: eight and a half. I lean over not because I
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: think the team is elite, but I think they still
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: have too much talent, too much defensive continuity, and too
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: manageable of an early schedule to completely fall apart. I've
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: got them favorites in every game on the schedule. I've
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: got four toss ups. Their conference strength of schedule is
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: number sixteen in a sixteen team conference, so this is
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: the easiest schedule in the SEC. But it's also the
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: number seventeen schedule in the country. So that should give
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: you an idea of what we're looking at.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: The best way I think to describe this team heading
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: into twenty twenty six. They are talented enough to make
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: the playoff, flawed enough that every major SEC game is
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: going to feel like a four quarter stress tests. So
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: nine and three sounds reasonable, and with a win total
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: at eight and a half, even juiced over, I still
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: feel good about that.

• 20:37
  Speaker 1: The Georgia Bulldogs come in at number seven, and they
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: enter twenty twenty six in a spot that most programs.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: Would be dreaming about. Right.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: They won the SEC the last two years, they've earned
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: a first round by in the College Football Playoff. Last
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: year they finished twelve and two, and somehow the feeling
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: around this program is that it was not enough because
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the Georgia the standard is not winning the SEC anymore.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: The standard is winning the whole damn thing. And for
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: the second straight season, a championship caliber roster came up
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: short in the playoff. Now, last year it was an
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Old Miss that ended the run in the Sugar Bowl,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: but the fact that it was against Ole Miss without
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffen and an Old Miss team that you had
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: already beaten during the season, I mean, that's a salty taste.
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: It really is, And the year before was a similar story.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Great regular season, conference title, playoff disappointment. Now granted, at
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: least with that one you were dealing with. Our quarterback
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: got hurt, right. What makes twenty twenty six so compelling
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: is the roster is loaded, the schedule is friendly, the
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: defense should be elite, and the run game should be elite.
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: But everything kind of circles back to this one question,
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: and that's whether or not Gunner Stockton can elevate Georgia
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: from a playoff team to a national champion.
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Let's go in and start with what makes this team
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: so so good?
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Stockton returns for a second year as the starter, Nate
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: Fraser is back as the leading running back, Chauncey Bowens
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: is back. The offensive line returns multiple experienced starters. The
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: tight end room might be the deepest position group on
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: the entire roster. You've got lost and lucky, You've got
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: Elias Williams, Ethan Barber, Jayden Riddell. Georgia can feature tight
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: ends heavily and lean on the run game while the
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: passing game develops a little more. Backfield depth is absolutely ridiculous.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: Dante Dowdell comes in as a physical short yardedge.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Hammer, bo Walker and Dwight Phillips Junior add some more
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: depth behind Fraser and Bowens. The run game is set
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: up to be elite this year. Defensively, the experience is
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: even more impressive. Georgia brings back twenty one defenders who
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: all played meaningful football last season. The linebacker room alone
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: is just absurd. You got Raylan Wilson, Chris Cole, Justin Williams,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Zaden Walker. I mean, that group has a real case
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: to be the best linebacker unit in college football. At
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: the secondary is pretty loaded as well. kJ Bolden one
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: of the premier safeties in the country. Ellis Robinson the
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: fourth He's primed to become the next great Georgia corner.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: And Kirby Smart added a bunch of guys right Khalil Barnes,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: jamar Lee Ridley, a riddle, excuse me, Gentry Williams, Braylan
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Connelly through the portal. But the one thing that Georgia
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: has to fix is the pass rush. Bulldogs finished dead
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: last in the SEC with only twenty sacks last season,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: and that's almost impossible to believe when you're talking about
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Georgia football. It's why hiring Larry Knight to coach the
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: outside linebackers is maybe one of the most important offseason
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: moves in the entire conference. You get even average improvement there,
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: and this defense is absolutely going to be one of
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: the best in the country. Now back over to the offense,
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: because here's the real question mark. Wide receiver Zachari Branch
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: is gone. He set Georgia's single season receptions record with
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: eighty one catches. Outside of London Humphreys, most of the
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: proven production of receivers walked out the door. Isaiah Canyon
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: from Georgia Tech arrives coming in from the portal. But
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: this is a younger, less proven receiver room than what
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Georgia has typically had during his championship runs. And that's
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: not saying that they had a whole lot to begin
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: with with the receivers. And of course, all of this
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: brings us back to Stockton, because he's the variable that
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: makes the whole team either really good or truly terrifying.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: At his best, he looks like a quarterback capable of
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: leading Georgia to a title. At his worst, I mean
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: there's moments where he misses shots downfield, he hesitates over
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: the middle, he takes unnecessary hits. Like the talent is
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: obvious that there's certainly flashes of brilliance, but the consistency
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: still has to show up. Schedule wise, Georgia gets a
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: pretty friendly draw here, heavy favorites against Tennessee State, Western Kentucky, Arkansas, Vanderbilt,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: let's see Missouri and TCH and then South Carolina. I
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: think they're going to be pretty big favorites there as well,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: probably against Auburn. Also, Oklahoma comes to you know, they
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: come into Athens early. That's kind of a measuring stick game.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: In Week four, Florida is always Florida. The season really
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: comes down to two road trips, and that's at Alabama
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: and at Ole Miss. You win both of those and
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: you're twelve and oh was probably in play there. You
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: split them eleven to one, still really realistic. Even losing
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: both of those, that still leaves Georgia in playoff contention.
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Like that's how good the schedule sets up. So the
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: ceiling for this team probably twelve and oh. Like if
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Stockton takes another step, if receivers developed, the pass rush arrives,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: I mean you're looking at a team that absolutely could
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: play for a national Championship. The floor I think is
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: lower than most people would believe. Like if the pass
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: rush stays average, and that's if you want to call
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: last season average, but if the pass rush doesn't improve,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: if the receivers struggle to get open, if Stockton stays inconsistent,
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a couple of games that could certainly
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: slip away. I don't think that's the likely outcome here,
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: But would it shock you if Oklahoma beats Georgia. Probably not.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: If Alabama or this new version of Florida or Ole
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: miss or either a road game to South Carolina or
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: Georgia dech George Dek could probably surprise me. But there's
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: certainly losable games on the schedule, which any SEC schedule is.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Going to have.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: My most likely outcome here is ten and two. The
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: win total is at nine and a half. It's just
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: pretty heavy to the over. I lean the over, but
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: the price matters, and it is heavy in some spots.
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: But just from a pure football standpoint, Georgia check's almost
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: every box. They've got e leade coaching, they got a
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: leite defense and experienced quarterback, a really strong offensive line,
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: a great running game, a manageable schedule, like all these
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: reasons why they should absolutely hit ten wins. The biggest
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: question here isn't whether Georgia makes the playoff.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I think the biggest.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Question is whether Stockton can turn a playoff caliber team
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: into a national championship team, because the roster is good
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: enough to win the whole thing if he can step up.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking at ten and two and then we'll
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: see what they do in the playoff. Hit that subscribe

• 27:36
  Speaker 1: slash Winning Cures Everything, so you don't miss any of
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: our college football coverage this season. The Texas Longhorns come
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: in at number six for me, and they enter twenty
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: twenty six with a simple expectation and I think that's
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: national championship or bust. And that's not hyperbole, right, That
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: is the entire conversation in Austin. And if you look
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: at this roster, the coaching staff, where they've made some changes,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: the schedule, and especially this quarterback, it's kind of hard
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: to argue against it. This feels like the season that
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: Sark has been building toward. Arch Manning is back at quarterback,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: the roster is loaded, the portal editions addressed real needs,
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: and unlike last year, there's not many excuses left.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: Last season started with national title hype and ended ten
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: to three with no playoff appearance. For most schools, that's
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: a great year. At Texas, you got a Manning back there,
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: that's a disappointment. The offense averaged just thirty and a
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: half points per game, which is fine on paper, but
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: it's not exactly the explosive standard that Sark established in Austin.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: The saving grace was that by late in the season,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: arch Manning looked like a completely different quarterback than he
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: did in September, and he did not look good in September.
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: That's the whole story heading into twenty twenty six. If
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: the version of arch Manning that we saw in November
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: of last year, where he was the number one QBR
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Corps back in the country, if that's the version that
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Texas gets for the full season, the Longhornds are gonna
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: be a problem for everybody. The arm talent is obvious.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: His ability to push the ball vertically changes how defenses
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: have to play. Unlike a lot of quarterbacks who rely
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: on volume and efficiency, Manning can flip a game with two.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Or three pros. That is a rare quality.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: But what makes the offense potentially elite is what's around him.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Ryan Wing goes back, and then of course Texas landed
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Cam Coleman from Auburn and the portal just a massive
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: get there. Coleman gives another big play receiver who can
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: stress the field and can win some contested catches that also.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: Get some more people off of WINGO. Right, you get
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: those two.
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: You got two receivers that are capable of creating explosive
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: plays on basically any snap. The run game also got upgraded.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: They brought in Releak Brown from Arizona State and they
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: got Hollywood's mother's Minci State. Both of them bring different
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: skills sets. They give more flexibility than they had a
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: year ago. And the goal I think is balance right,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: make defenses defend every part of the field. That makes
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: life easier on Manning.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: The offensive line.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Still got to prove itself. Texas went into the portal.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: They added Melvin Siani from Wake Forest, and there's other
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: pieces in place. But I mean, we've seen this before right,
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Talent on paper does not always translate immediately. The line
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: has to gel. If it doesn't, those explosive plays take
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: longer to develop. You're asking your quarterback to solve too
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: many problems by himself. Defensively, the biggest story is not
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: who's playing, it's who's calling it. Pete Kwadakowski is out,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Will Muschamp comes in, and that's a pretty significant change.
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: Mustchamp doesn't sit back and react. His defenses are aggressive.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: They're built around pressure, man coverage, physicality. He wants to
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: dictate the terms, and when you look at the personnel,
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: you can understand why Texas made this move, even if
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: it never seemed like the defense was the.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: Problem at Texas.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: Right like, Pete did a great job, But if you're
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: wanting to revamp the way that you do things, this
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: makes sense.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: On defense, it starts with Colin Simmons. There's a real.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: Argument Simmons is the best defensive player in college football
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: right now. He's the kind of pass rusher who can
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: reckon an entire game plan by himself, and must Champ's
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: system is gonna let him do exactly that. The front seven,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: they added Rashim Biles from Pitt Justin Cryer from Florida State,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: to complement to Anthony Smith and others that are already
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: in that room. The concern is the secondary. Anthony Hill's gone,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: Michael taff has gone, Malik Muhammad has gone. You're not
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: gonna be able to replace those guys easily. Jelani McDonald
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: is back as a leader of this group, but the
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: rest of them have got to develop fast.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I mean must Jamps.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: Defense puts the secondary in man coverage and asks them
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: to hold up, and the whole defense kind of revolves
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: around that.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: It's all based on that.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: If they struggle to adjust, the defense is gonna get exposed.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: And you'll probably see that in week two, right, I mean,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: the schedule sets up. You get Texas State to open,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: and then week two, Ohio State comes to Austin. That
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: is a playoff caliber game before conference play even gets started.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: And then you know, as we go on, you got
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: road trips to Tennessee, road trip to LSU later in
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: the season, two of the hardest environments in college football.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: You got Missouri A and M and then others fill
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: out that back half. But what's interesting is Texas does
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: not play Georgia. They don't play Alabama. That's a real
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: scheduling advantage compared to most of the other SEC contenders.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: The challenge is the lack of breathing room. Right after
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: the bye and week five, there's an eight game stretch
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: to finish finish the season with no breaks like this is.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: That's where championship teams have to separate themselves, and they're
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: gonna be doing it for eight straight weeks. You play
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Tennessee by week and then Oklahoma, Florida, Ole, miss Mississippi State, Missouri, LSU, Arkansas,
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: and him. I mean, that is brutal, absolutely brutal. The
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: ceiling is twelve and oh. If arch plays at a
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: Heisman level, if the line comes together in the secondary handles,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: the whole must jamp transition. I mean, there's all the
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: talent in the world to go twelve and oh here.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: Even with this schedule. On the other side, the floor
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: is still pretty high. I mean, with this roster, nine
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: to three is probably the floor barring a pretty significant
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: injury situation. My most likely outcome here is ten and two.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: Like a win total sits at nine and a half.
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: I lean over, not aggressively, but I do lean over.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I mean It's the most complete roster that Sarka has
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: had since he arrived in Austin, and I believe that
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: he is a good head coach.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: They've got the.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: Quarterback in place, the playmakers are in place, the pass
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: rush looks elite. The schedule while change, you know, while challenging,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: they avoid two of the SEC's biggest land mines, and
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: the team that they've had the most problems with, which
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: is Georgia. At some point, Texas has got to stop
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: being the team that we're projecting and become the team
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: that actually delivers, and this feels like the year that
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: that could end up happening. The best way to describe
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: this team heading into twenty six is pretty simple. This
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: isn't all in championship roster build around arch manning anything
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: short of a playoff run. It won't just feel like
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: a missed opportunity. This will feel like a massive disappointment
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: and there's gonna be real questions around sark As the
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: head coach if they can't make the CFP with this roster.

  Speaker 2: Y'all know, I love talking ball with you. I love

• 34:59
  Speaker 1: I don't want to get into all the politics and
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: But maybe maybe we'll talk about this.
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: Twenty four team nonsense in the super leagues and blah
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Maybe we'll talk about that as we
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: get into late June, something like that. I think that
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: might be a good time. All right, let's get out
• 35:25
