• 1:14
  SPEAKER_01: And these are just based off the first three weeks of the first four weeks of the season.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: So we'll just jump into it.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_01: All right, 10 Ole Miss.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_01: They had a really, really good win against um LLCU, and their defense played way better than this than they definitely did this week against Florida.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_01: They laid they got smashed this week.
• 1:31
  SPEAKER_01: But anyways, all Trinidad Shares is still I think a top three quarterback in the league, if not the best.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_01: And yes, I have number I have them at number 10, and then number nine, I got BYU.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_01: Let's go.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_01: There's a bear Lucent Provo.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_01: Um they they have a really good defense, and they're doing so much with the least amount of money that they spent on their on their on their entire roster.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna come back to that.
• 1:52
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna dive into that.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: We got some interesting stats later in the show today.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, Florida has one of the most explosive offensive uh offenses right now, and even though their quarterbacks is playing well, they got Jaden Ball, who is a freaking unit.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_01: Beast.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, he is he's a unit, man.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: He's a Heisman candidate for sure.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: Number seven.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: So I actually love this.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: I just want to pause you real quick.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: So because Florida, I think they started the season not even ranked.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: Then they looked really good the first two weeks, hadn't played anybody, but then they were ranked like number 24.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: And so then they just had that big upset whooping over Olvis and they shot up probably one of the biggest jumps ever, eight.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: I actually side note, um, I actually have them ranked higher than eight, but the fact that you at least have them eight, I think they look so good.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: They're they're I actually have them in the sixth position.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: But keep going, sorry.
• 2:39
  SPEAKER_01: All right, and then I got seven Indiana.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I know we love Indiana, I know we love Kurt Signetti, but here's my thing.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_01: I don't trust Josh Hoover.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_01: And they got they got weapons on offense, they got weapons at our receiver, and they have a good running game, they have a good defense.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Their receiver, Charlie Beckard.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he's good.
• 2:54
  SPEAKER_01: But I don't trust Josh Hoover.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: Like he just makes a lot of mistakes, he rushes.
• 2:59
  SPEAKER_01: Does he I don't know, that was a weird win against it.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_01: Wasn't pretty just like how Texas was, but he's not Mendoza, that's for sure.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and he's not Mendoza.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_01: Good point.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: Good point.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_01: So I guess we'll we'll just have to see how the season goes.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: All right, uh six, Alabama.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_01: Keelon Russell looks really, really, really good right now.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: And Ryan Williams is finally playing to what he was because last guy's you remember two years ago, him and Jeremy Spain were supposed to be like the two receivers like as a true freshman?
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_01: And he was insane.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_01: The last season, though, he definitely had a big dip, but this year he's playing to what he was supposed to.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_01: So he looks really good.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: Devens looks good.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_01: They're finally playing a little bit like how they were.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_00: You know, you know I'm an Alabama guy too.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: Like Alabama might be my third favorite after Texas VRU.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm happy that you got him there.
• 3:40
  SPEAKER_00: I officially have not heard your rankings, so I'm happy about this so far.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, all right, K5, Miami.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: Wait, hold on.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: Are you how are you are you coming around on Calen DeBoer, head coach Alabama?
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: Briggs used to just not like him at all.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't I still don't love him.
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I I'm fine with him, I guess, right now.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: All right, fair.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_01: I just really miss Nick Saban because I I love when Alabama is the just awesome.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: We should have a tribute episode to Nick Saban one of these days.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, okay, alright.
• 4:03
  SPEAKER_01: So number five, I got Miami.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_01: Darion Mensaw, I'm they haven't played they've played nobody, but he does he looks like the Heistman favor, honestly, and they they've just been d dominating everybody, but it's the ACC.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_01: They haven't been playing literally anybody, so we'll just have to see when their real test comes in against Notre Dame and who else is in the end?
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_01: ACC.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_01: Keep going, I'm gonna look that up.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: So okay, alright.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so while my I looked at the I'm gonna go to the rest of them.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, alright, number four, Ohio State.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_01: So I I still think they're yeah, I still think they're top three team in the country, but right now the top the the that just the these rings are just based off the first three weeks.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_01: Ohio State is number four.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: They lost a bait they lost a Texas baby, but they're just they're so Jeremiah Smith, it's just he's gonna be he's gonna be a top three receiver in the league, maybe if if if not the best.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_01: He is just built different.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_01: Like that guy's a unit.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: He has his embody cr his body control is insane.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: Julian Sanders can just load it up to him, and they have a good defense, and you know, it's just Ohio State, one of the best rosters in all of college football.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: Alright, number three, Notre Dame.
• 5:09
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so this is the thing.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_00: This is shocking about Miami's schedule.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_00: You and I were actually both wrong.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm just gonna quickly read through the rest of their schedule, and this is gonna highlight I think this is the easiest schedule in all of college football.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: Check this out.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so their remaining games, well, keep in mind this is who they played so far Stanford, Florida AM, and Wake Forest and Central Michigan.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's cupcakes.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: Here's who they got remaining Clemson, not the Clemson of all non-existent.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: Florida State, non-existent.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: Pitt is no that that actually might be one of their hardest games.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: That is their second hardest game remaining.
• 5:42
  SPEAKER_00: They got Notre Dame coming up, but then other than that, they got nobody.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: So Pitt, North Carolina, and then they got Notre Dame.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: Uh it's at Notre Dame, so that'll be tough.
• 5:50
  SPEAKER_00: And then they got Duke, and then they got Virginia Tech, and then Boston College.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: I mean Wow.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: Like, come on.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: That's why that's so frustrating.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I know.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: Texas has to play six top ten, like four top ten teams, while Miami just has to play Notre Dame, and that's it.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_01: I know.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, okay, four Ohio State, okay, three Notre Dame, um CJ Carr.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: They have one of the best cornerbacks maybe in the past like a couple years in Leonard Moore.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_01: He is a dog.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, they they haven't played anybody yet, but we'll see what they look like against a BYU and at top BYU too, so we'll see.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_01: And yeah, we'll we'll just see how the season goes out for Notre Dame.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: And then number two, I got Georgia.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_01: Garner Stockton, they're just blowing everybody out right now.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_01: They had a really good win against Arkansas.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: Defense looks good.
• 6:34
  SPEAKER_01: John Mantier is just fumbling left and right.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_01: And yeah, number two, Georgia.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: And number one, I got Texas.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: You already know how I feel about Texas.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: And, you know, arch band and consistency, defense is the best in the country.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: So we'll just have to see how they look.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: Let me ask you about this, because there's a big there's a lot of debate going on on all the sports shows right now.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: Mm-hmm.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um, whether or not Georgia should overtake Texas as the number one team in the country.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: What where do you land on that?
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Uh no.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: We beat Ohio State, we beat Tennessee.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Nobody's so nobody's had the the the rec the guys we beat.
• 7:07
  SPEAKER_01: Just against Ohio State, not this season, but against Ohio State looked like the best quarterback in the country.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: And that deep.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: Think about this though.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: So Ohio State's second half, our defense, shut him down.
• 7:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Jeremy couldn't do anything.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: UTSA, of course, it's just UTSA shut them down.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: However, UTSA, though.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you, exactly, against Colorado State, right?
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: So against everyone else they play, UTSA is going to be put at points.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: They were they were a top ten offense in the entire country last year.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, Texas, and they only I mean Texas A it's non-existent, but they allowed seven points, just literally just a touchdown.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_01: And then Tennessee, it's explosive offense.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_01: Basically 10 points.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, no, no.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_01: I don't even say three.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_01: No, no.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because those drivers don't like I'm everybody's saying that this the Texas Tennessee game was chaotic.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_01: That was kind of boring.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_01: The defense kind of like dominated, and it was really only sacks, but like until like the fat like the last two minutes, it wasn't really that exciting.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 7:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but well, one of their touchdowns was a uh special for a touchdown they got on.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: And then the other touchdown that they got late in the game is that we went to that soft shell defense, so we were given we were giving them uh plenty of open throws, and we were only rushing three, yeah.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: And so uh they scored a touchdown off of that, and then it's like, okay, Muschamp changed his D again and threw went back to what they've been doing, shut him down the rest of the game.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 8:21
  SPEAKER_00: Our offense just and then that onside kick, did you see that they later ruled that that was an illegal kick.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: How does nobody in the stadium or uh any of our coaches' staff call that out, be like, hey guys, you need to really look at that.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's illegal.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_00: Well, no, the thing though is they Ryan Wingo's the only person back there.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_00: Oh and why Ryan Ryan Wingo has the I love Ryan Wingo.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: Guy's a stud, but he does not have good hands.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_00: He he's got look it up.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_00: I looked at us this up today, actually.
• 8:45
  SPEAKER_00: He's got the most drops.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_00: Of any tech and he's he's in like a top ten of most drops of like catchable balls in the entire nation.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: He's an absolute stud, but I think you gotta use him more in the Dink and Dunk short game and then just use his athleticism to just plow like Debo Samuel in the NFL.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 9:03
  SPEAKER_01: Nice.
• 9:04
  SPEAKER_01: That's actually cra yeah, that's crazy.
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: That that that's so frustrating with Miami.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_01: I don't mind frustrated, but just like they play nobody.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: Well, let's look at so Miami, yeah.
• 9:13
  SPEAKER_00: They play nobody, but let's also look at Notre Dame.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: Let's look at Notre Dame's schedule.
• 9:17
  SPEAKER_01: I think do they only play us in B and uh Miami?
• 9:21
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm looking at.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: I think so.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so here's Notre Dame schedule.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_00: Uh they beat Wisconsin, which is a cupcake team this year.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: They're no good.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_01: Rice, then they they beat Whoa, like Wisconsin just beat with Penn State.
• 9:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's right.
• 9:35
  SPEAKER_01: On the road.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_01: So Wisconsin is actually a decent Big Ten team.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 9:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well they're they're they're middle of the pack.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: Big 10 team.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: Middle of the pack.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it's a team they should beat, but like you're not gonna get national credit for that.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: Rice, cupcake, Michigan State, same thing as as Wisconsin.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: Michigan State sucks.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, and then they beat Purdue.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_00: And then they got North Carolina, Stanford, then the big game against BYU October 17th.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_00: Then they got Navy, then they got Miami, then Boston College.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, they got SMU this year.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: So they got three good games.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so they they they that's way better than Miami, though.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_00: Well, yeah.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: Makes me feel a little bit better.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_00: So I I hope BYU and Notre Dame both come into that game undefeated here in La Belle Edwards Stadium.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: Bro, that's gonna be so peak.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: Our college is our college section is gonna be rocky.

  SPEAKER_01: I definitely know this one.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: I really want to say Drew Brees.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: Good guess.
• 12:46
  SPEAKER_00: Good guess, but no.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, last one.
• 12:49
  SPEAKER_00: No, last one.
• 12:50
  SPEAKER_00: You'll get it after this.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, now I'm just gonna simply lift off, list off his the two teams he played for.
• 12:56
  SPEAKER_00: His college team and his NFL team.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_00: Texas Tech, Kansas City Chiefs.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_00: He's won three Super Bowl rings.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_00: Why do we always have to talk about Mahomes?
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: And Chris Collinsworth glazes him for the no-look pass.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, there's a guy that does a no-look pass that even Matthew Stafford does, but when Patrick Mahomes does it, it's just better.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: That's my uh Chris Collinsworth impersonation.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: Just so you yeah.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: You want one more?
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_00: This one's a quick one.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: This one's kind of interesting.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: All right, last, last one, last one.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: Player number three.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_00: First clue.
• 13:29
  SPEAKER_00: This guy grew up on his family's farm in a small California town, driving tractors and working in the fields before he was old enough to drive a car.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_00: This is part of the story why I absolutely love this player.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: Well, yeah, I don't know yet.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you know who this is.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: Clue two.
• 13:44
  SPEAKER_00: Coming out of high school, he got zero Division I scholarship offers.
• 13:48
  SPEAKER_00: Zero.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_00: None.
• 13:50
  SPEAKER_00: So he went to a junior college first and started emailing college coaches across the country, basically begging for a job.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_01: Is that like a Drew Westmaker guy from Oklahoma State?
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: Good guess.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: Similar story, but no.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: Drew Mestimaker, right?
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: Um, nope.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: Clue three.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_00: Only a couple of schools answered, and he picked the University of Wyoming.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: Not Josh Allen.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_00: There it is.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, there you go.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_00: There you go.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yep.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: So I I just I he's a he's uh you know Josh Allen.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: He's one of my favorite players because he's so down-to-earth.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_00: Him and Joe Burrow were probably my two current favorite quarterbacks.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: But I just love that he grew up on a farm outside of California driving tractors with his grandpa.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I mean?
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: Like he's a he's just a down-to-earth guy.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: Love him.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_00: I don't feel like the fame has got to his head.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: He still treats people well.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: Love him.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: All right, and that is before they were famous.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: We got Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Kurt Warner on there.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: Nice job, buddy.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_00: All right, we out.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_01: All right, now we're gonna go to college football's most surprising teams.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm gonna give you guys my favorite college football, like most surprising team, which y'all y'all probably can already guess by now which one it is.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I'm just gonna go straight into it.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_01: Alright, Florida.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: This is definitely most college football's most surprising team.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_01: And I was about to put Oregon just because they've sucked so bad, but they just be just they just beat USC.
• 15:16
  SPEAKER_01: But I I don't know how I feel about that win yet.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_01: But anyways, Florida.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_01: Jaden Ball is obviously a Heisman candidate.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_01: He looks so good.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_01: Aaron Fowler, their quarterback, he look he just looks very subpar, decent, and just good enough.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_01: You know, has to he puts a mut he puts a he puts the ball to his playmakers and his experienced receivers and his talented receivers and yeah, and he they have talent all over the the they have talent over they have a talented roster and they have a very explosive offense just with Jaden the ball because they're he's just a he's just a dog.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_01: And then they have a good run defense, but their pass defense does worry me a little bit.
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_01: That's why they're not higher, but overall they are a good team.
• 15:54
  SPEAKER_01: And they're a great team and they could they could definitely do some damage in the SEC.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_00: How about you, Pops?
• 16:03
  SPEAKER_00: So my my I've got two teams here.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_00: My first one is I'm gonna go the opposite direction.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: The most surprising team is Texas.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: I was expecting their offense to look so much better than they do.
• 16:16
  SPEAKER_00: So because of that, uh they I mean preseason before we beat Ohio, they they were ranked what five?
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_00: Five, whatever it was, five or six.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: Uh even four, I think, in some places, right?
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_00: But then they just have not they've been so surprising on two main things.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: We still can't run the ball, even though we spent all that money um on our two running backs and our offensive line.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_00: We're still not pushing guys back.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: They the we have of all of our teams, we have the average the highest average size of the linemen, and we're still not pushing back the other guys.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I don't know what's happening in Texas.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_00: I think Kyle Flood is our offensive line coach for Texas.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: Uh something's going on there.
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_00: I think Sark's gonna have to make a switch.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: He he took out Pete Kwaikkowski, our defensive coordinator last year and put in Will Muschamp.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_00: Look what that's done.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_00: I think I think he's gonna have something like that for our offensive line coach, and our special teams has been absolute garbage.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: Absolute garbage.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: Um combine that with this is now Arch Manning's fourth year in the offense, and he still is missing reads.
• 17:18
  SPEAKER_00: He's still his basic fount fundamental mechanics throwing sometimes.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_00: Uh he gets off balance, and that's why he's he he most commonly when he misses guys, he throws it too high.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_00: And mechanically, that's just a matter of lowering your your elbow angle and not having such a high stride.
• 17:35
  SPEAKER_00: Very simple things with the right amount of practice and focus you can fix.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: So, but he's still he's still missing those and he's still missing wide open reads that just shouldn't be happening.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so that's why they're my most they're they're my most surprising team.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: Most surprising team in a good way though is Boise State.
• 17:51
  SPEAKER_00: What?
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: Boise State, actually.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: So I think Boise State, um, because I heard Joel Clatt talk about this on his sports show last week, and so I started looking it up.
• 18:00
  SPEAKER_00: So for their conference, right, they're not playing in a big conference, they're just playing in the Mountain West.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: They're absolutely gonna win the Mountain West.
• 18:05
  SPEAKER_00: But they took they took Oregon.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: 34-27.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_00: They took Oregon to the bones, and um, but I think they're actually gonna dominate their conference.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_00: I think they're gonna be the the team that gets into the college football playoff as a as a small conference team.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: So they they've been looking really good all in all.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um those are my two most surprising teams of college football right now.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: I think I think the other one that you can make a case for is um Florida.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I agree a hundred percent and Florida.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: Florida, Oregon Yeah, Florida, Oregon.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: I think the other one is um uh okay, I'm just gonna say it.
• 18:40
  SPEAKER_00: But Utah has actually looked better than what I thought.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: I know we hate Utah.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, what is it?
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: And this is not me giving them flowers.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: They haven't played anybody too tough yet.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm gonna mention their name.
• 18:48
  SPEAKER_00: But they have to call them they them.
• 18:50
  SPEAKER_00: They so they them.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: They them.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_00: The other team up north that wears the ugly color red.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um, they they've they've surprised me that they have actually looked better than what I thought.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, well, but they're gonna get destroyed by us.
• 19:04
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely smoked by us.
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_00: We're calling it now.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: So Yeah.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: Money, money, all right.
• 19:09
  SPEAKER_00: Anything else, buddy?
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: Last thing, here who I'm curious, who do you think are gonna be your top four in the college football playoff?
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: Like at the end of the year, not the college football playoff, but the final four that make it.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_00: In no specific order.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: No specific order.
• 19:24
  SPEAKER_00: Who do you got?
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: Texas, Ohio State, Georgia, and I don't know if the fourth one's a toss-up for me.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_01: It could either be Notre Dame, it could either be Miami, Alabama, Indiana, Florida.
• 19:36
  SPEAKER_01: It could be any of those to me.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, that's fair.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: I've got I've got Georgia, Texas, Notre Dame, and Indiana.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: I think those are gonna be the four in the five.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:45
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's true.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_01: I trust Kirsten Netty.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, for sure.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_00: I think they'll pull it together.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_00: I it the the big question mark is Josh Hoover.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_00: So it's either them or Ohio State.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: But somebody's got to come out of the Big Ten, I feel like.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be Ohio State.
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_00: I think it'll be Ohio State or Indiana.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: Indiana will be the five or the sixty.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_00: Championship game.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_00: Who you got?
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_01: Uh national championship.

  SPEAKER_00: So I can't wait for next week.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_00: For all this next weekend's games, Texas has a buy.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_00: BYU is playing against TCU.
• 20:49
  SPEAKER_00: That'll be an easy game.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be an easy dub there.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, one thing real quick I just want to mention about BYU.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_00: We gotta put a lot more love and respect on BYU's name.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: If you look at the NIL spending for all of the major teams, especially you know what?
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_00: Even just look at the top 10, right?
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_00: Because BYU is currently ranked number nine.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: Everybody is is Texas, for example, is paying$117 million on their roster through NIL.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: Tennessee Volunteers, they're not top 10, but they spent like 114.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_00: Georgia's up at like 190,000, 110,000 Ohio State, 112,000 Ohio State.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: All these teams, right?
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: Alabama's up there at like 99 million.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: BYU, um, for if it now don't quote me on this, but I know the stat that I saw.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_00: I think they were at like 25 million or 21 million for their roster.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_00: So they are doing the most with least.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_00: Coach Kalani Sataki is getting the most out of his culture, out of his program, out of his development.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_00: I love what we're seeing out of BYU and Coach Sataki.
• 21:45
  SPEAKER_01: Just a quick note, Pukanakua and Fred Warner came out of BYU.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: Boom.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: Love it.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: Top two.
• 21:50
  SPEAKER_00: So Fred Warner might be the best linebacker.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: Puka Nakua's got a case for top five.
• 21:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_00: Love it.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_00: Let's go, BYU.

• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: Such a good segment.
• 22:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_00: It was like uh I gotta learn some more dad slang.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm running low.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna spend next the whole next week learning some more dad's link so I can hit him with you on a hair.
• 22:14
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
