• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Austin Rose, joined by Dakota Free Tag. Hunter Zerbinikia is
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: on the West Coast. He's gonna add his own take
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: here at the end of this podcast, So Dak and
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I are recording without him.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: So you can think whatever you want about Hunter now.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Exactly does not home say what you want. I know
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you can hold him back.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Yep, I'm fire away.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: We're here. We're gonna talk Michigan football preview, and that's
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you know, that's pretty much it. I don't know if
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: there's really much more to talk about. Number twenty one.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Is that what their current ranking was? Twenty one? Yes,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Lorens coming to Memorial Stadium. How do you feeling, Dak,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: How's how's how's it going? How are things? Hunter never asks,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: you know, I want to make sure you're doing okay.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Not well because of my NFL team, but.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Oh, we know what you have. You're not confident in
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Carson Wentz telling them.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: That actually I am.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Actually it changes, but day by day as you can
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: closer the game, I'm pumped form now, but you.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Should be confident your coach is pretty freaking good. Ah.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Not not not at all. Honestly, it's bad.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, how's your fantasy team? Old enough, Dak,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: that's the real question.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: Two and oh and one and one in the other
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: league is not bad?
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: All right? Better than me? I'm going too.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Hey, all right, big got Carson Wentz a I gotta say.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: But yeah, let's let's dive in the big game.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, let's talk. So Michigan Wareen's coming to town.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: They will be coached by interim head coach. Oh, my
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: screen's not loaded. I know Pogy. What's his first name?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: But bi, I think bif Pogy.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Biff Pogy. There we go, something like that.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: He could starve for the on line. We'll just say
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: that he's not the smallest in the world.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: No, he is not. We have not played them since
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. They obviously kicked our ass forty five seven.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: That was the year they won the national championship.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: In quotations.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: In quotations, Oh, because they're signed stealing. That's why. That
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: is why we're playing Biff Pogy instead of Chamore Chard Moore.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Because they are self imposing a a coaching band. Due
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to this the sideline scandal from a couple of years.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Ago, now I was thinking about this, you know, I
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: said that too much on the spot. Anyway, isn't isn't
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: that kind of like a shot at Nebraska that they
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: picked this game?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Oh? Definitely. Yeah, it's a two week band. I believe
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: they chose this week and next week, or no, they
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: did last week, they did last week in this week?
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: No, no, this is the first week. It's this weekend
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: next I think, okay, okay, or no no, no, no.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I take that back. Yeah, it's last week and this Yeah.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, last week and this week. So because they didn't
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: want it to be against Oklahoma, so they chose Nebraska.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, who do they play next week? I mean, it's
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: just a shot that they pick this Nebraska game. So
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: that's got to be a little bit of bolt and
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: war material.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Let's see how they play next week. I should have
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: had this up, yeah, I mean, if you were gonna
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: pick between Oklahoma or US though, I don't blame him,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah I don't either.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: So, yeah, they chose Central Michigan. Nebraska coach More will
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: be back against Wisconsin next week. They are currently two
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: and one. They obviously they looked really good against New
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Mexico and it looked really good against Central Michigan. They
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: did not look great against your Oklahoma Sooners. What's your
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: intel from the Oklahoma Sooner game.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: Bryce Underwood.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: I mean, he's a freshman, so there's there's gonna be
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: ups and downs. He did not throw the ball well,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: and it's it's your freshman's second game on the road
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: in hostile environment. It's it's probably what you expect from him.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I think that game, as he's as he's already had
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: a tough girl game, is going to help him a
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: lot coming into Lincoln.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: If this was his first true.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Road, crazy environment, I think it'd go about the same way.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: He didn't Norman. But he's had that under his belt already,
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. And they didn't.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: They didn't run him as much that I thought they
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: win the Oklahoma game. He's he's an athlete, that's for sure.
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: And he likes to which is what freshman I do.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: He likes to take a lot of risk when he's
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: thrown too like he won't He's not scared. He'll air
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: it out there this this week. They say that, which
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know, what the hell, what the hell this means?
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: I don't know why he didn't have the green light
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: to run anyways. But he says this week that he
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: has the green green light to run. So I don't
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: know what that means if they're gonna run him like
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: crazy or what, but.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I think I think he will run against us. He's
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: currently averaging seven point seven yards to rush. That counts
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: as sacks too, so I mean he's probably hasn't been
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: sacked of a lot, which I imagine Michigan is a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: pretty good offensive line they do. I do not think
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that they are going to run him that much. I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: think that was I could be wrong, but I think
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: that was generally just coach strategy of like, you got
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a game plan for our quarterback to run when we're
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: not really going to run him that much. I think
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: he I think he will run. But if you were
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: actually planning on running that much, you're not gonna come
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: and be like, yeah, he's got the green light to
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: run this week.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know why they came out like I was like, well, okay, okay,
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: what do you what do you turn to stay here?
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: I don't, I mean, you gotta think that. And and
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: maybe they are gonna run him a lot just because
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: they have zero respect for the rest D line like
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: this is.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think they'll have to run him
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: that much. I think Justice Haynes, they're starting running back
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: who was also averaging eight yards of carry. I think
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: he'll be I think he'll do plenty of damage running
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the ball. I don't think it's gonna be like, Oh,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: we can't get the run game, but we can't get
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the pass game going. Let's spice it up with some
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: QB design QB draws. So yeah, I guess, well, I
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: guess we're talking Michigan offense. So proviously, he brought up
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Bryce Underwood, true freshman quarterback. He's completing fifty seven and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a half per cent of his passes, two touchdowns, winterception,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: three sacks. Again, hasn't played really anyone outside of Oklahoma,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: and when he did play Oklahoma, he did look bad.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: So I don't I mean, hmm, I mean he could
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: come in and start unting the ball because he's uncontrolled passing.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: We do have a good pass defense, so I mean
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: that bodes well for us regard I mean in that aspect.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: So we could be forcing him to be a little
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: more one dimensional.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: I mean, you hope that's what the game plan is
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: you wanted to throw.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he'll be I mean, I think of
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: a better game than Oklahoma because I think you're right,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and you know, had the Oklahoma game coming in as
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: a true freshman, it might be a little bit raucus.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: You know, a little bit of a night environment that
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: he's not ready for. It's not a night game. Two
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: thirty kickoff, and I think the general consensus Bryce Underwoods, Yeah,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you're right, he's a good athlete, but we don't know
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: what he is yet. I could be wrong on that.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know.
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know how much you can take away from
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: the Oklahoma game. I think I think this week is
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: the week he'll find out a lot more about him.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: If he struggles a game, and it's going to be
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: he's not that good, but I think he's gonna be
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: better than the OLKLONB game. Passing, it's just I think
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I think they're going to try to run the ball
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: until they, like unless Nebraska, this committee shuts down the game.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I think it's gonna run the ship out of the ball.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Like over and over, they do lead the ten and rushing,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: they lead the Big Ten in rushing.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: And as we get closer, I keep on thinking about that.
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: That's what because I I think he has like a
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: Nebraska is gonna win this pretty easily. But as we
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: get close, I'm thinking, you know, the Michigan could just
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: run all over Nebraska.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: I said after the Afron game, Michigan's going to run
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: for three hundred yards on us. I still feel feel
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: pretty ton.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: No, yeah, that's not crazy.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, I mean I was listening to the other podcast.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: It'll be because your first your first drive is always scripted.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see if they come out and
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: just do like ten straight runs on you and just go.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: If they go down the field and throw the ball
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: like one time that drive and just want it, that's
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: when Housecarnation is going to be like, oh we go
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: I started.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Running back is Justice Haynes. He is a transfer from Alabama,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Like I said, everaging seven point nine yards a carry
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: on forty nine carries through three games, they are fifteenth
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: in the nation and rushing yards. It's I think you're right.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna run it, and so we're gonna
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: end up trying to stack the box probably a little bit,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: and that's where we're gonna get gouge for a couple
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: of big plays passing. I don't like I don't think
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Bryce Underwood needs to run. I think it's gonna be
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be I think it's gonna be rough.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I really do.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Do you think do you think we're gonna let him
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Aaron Aller like play played safe with him.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna let him arit it out.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: He likes to take risks. I don't know.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: The current The spread for this game opened at two
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: and a half bavering in Michigan. It's the money's been
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: going to Nebraska, I guess because it's currently at one
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: and a half over under forty four point five.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: That's that's also interesting because it did move, but it
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: had moved to three, So Michigan money was coming out
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: Michigan early.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Now it's coming out Nebraska late.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: Their number one receiver is mccullay. Donovan McCully has ten
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: receptions for one hundred and fifty eight yards. But they really
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: they've got like three wide receivers that have all been
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: pretty heavily utilized and they're tightened. Martin Klein, Martin Marlin
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: Marlin Klein seven receptions for one hundred yards, so they've
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: kind of spread the ball out pretty evenly. With four
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: receivers already over one hundred yards for the year. I
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: don't know if there's anyone there that and particularly, I
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: mean mccully's obvious their best receiver.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Jack.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: I just don't think it's gonna be very pretty.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: You're worried. I can tell you.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: From our defensive side, I think we're gonna get just
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: absolutely cooked. I think it's gonna be. If we win,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: it has to be an offensive shootout. And by shootout,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I mean there, it's gonna be a game of This
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: is gonna be somewhat head run heavy. It's gonna be
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: a low scoring shootout. But it's gonna be our offense.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: We're not gonna stop their offense.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: That this is, I mean this is. We always talk.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: About what you want to see. I think what everybody
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: wants to see. What everyone's gonna be looking at going
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: in this game is is that defensive line, especially early
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: if they struggle the first couple of drives.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the game plan is. You got.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: All you gotta think you're you're gonna be stacking the box?
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, are we we are? See here's the thing
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: is Jackson Weeks shout out listener, he's called me out.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: I always say Nebraskaz. They them, I'm gonna say, we wow,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: look at you that we gotta stack the box.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I probably agree. I think you make him throw it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be loud, he's gonna be tough. Community receivers.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: You hope that that's where it falls apart, and that's
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: how you get the stops.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: You're the best the best bet is because I agree
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: they're gonna run all over them. You got to hope
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: that you get those fresh mistakes, turnovers, may pick six
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: and they're fumble by BRender like that's that's your hope.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Was stopping their offense. I just don't see any way
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: that they don't. Don't just play safe with Underwood and
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: run every single play because the secondary is good.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: All right, let's lock our offense against their defense, since
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: we've already established that the game is probably gonna be
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: lost on our defensive side. Michigan, they aren't quite as
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: good as they were a couple of years ago, but
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: they're only giving up about fifteen points a game. You know,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: for third down efficiency, they're given up sixty two for
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: pass completion, but they have had five interceptions and two
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: bumbles I believe forced bumbles, so they've done pretty well
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: and turning the ball over the last three games. I
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: think we're gonna have to win in the in the
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: air because they're only giving up about less than three
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: yards of carry. So it's kind of like the I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: feel like they're the exact opposite, like if if we
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: were to look in like a reverse mirror. They run
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the ball really well, they don't pass it great. Their
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: defense stops the ball really well on their weekend. Their
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: weak part is their secondary, and we have the exact
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: opposite of everything.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: That's the Yeah, that's that's tough part is there.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: I don't think there's gonna be you have much running
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: the ball on the Husker side. Oklahoma did move the
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: ball on them. Their defense was ben don't break down
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: that game. They they caused her numbers when Oklahoma would
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: get down the red zone and funnels at bad times,
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: which that could be in Oklahoma too, But.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: But they moved the ball well on them. I don't.
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Their d line did not look as scary as what
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: I thought. They're not giving up much on the run game,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: but I still think you can run on them a
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: little bit. You can definitely throw all over them, which
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: is gonna be Ane's going to air it out.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Ryle was going to air it out this game.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: I think you're right. A notable defensive player for Michigan
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: has definitely Ernest Houseman, former corn Husker who left before
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: rules tenure. He was here Scott Cross last year if
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: I remember correctly. I don't remember when exactly he left,
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: but he is definitely their best defensive player and he's
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: probably going to be an NFL draft pick. Leaves the
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: team in tackles, but I yeah, I think. I mean,
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I could see us being stubborn enough that we're going
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: to try to run the ball a lot, but I
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna end up being Dylan Rayolo has to
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: carry the team, which we haven't really seen this year.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: So we'll see if his seventy five completion percentage is
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: just the opponents he's played, or if it's actually is
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: year two jump.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: You're hoping he is not made mistake yet no picks.
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Has he also the fun with you?
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think he's turned the
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: ball over it all yet.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: We have we fumbled it at the five yard line
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: against Akron.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Okay, yet you're just hoping no mistakes in this game.
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: God, I don't know.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: I think they're gonna tell the ball thirty plus times.
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: And there's right now arm of Dean Reel. And that's
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: what you that's what you want to do, like you
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: you trusting your quarterback. It's kind of proving don't really
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: prove a game for him, but this is one if
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: he does play well, you know on national spotlight here.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe I don't think he'll might guess Hesman talk,
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: but I think we beat Michigan at twenty one, we're
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: probably gonna be ranked. Maybe I guess that might be
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: a bit of a jump. But four and oh have
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: some conversation, But I I really don't think we're gonna win.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: I really don't. I think, Okay, let's let's do or
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: what do we want to see? What will we see?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Will chat here? Obviously we both want to see the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: d line hold.
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: Their own and we both think they won't and we both.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Think they won't. And I want to see Bryce Underwood
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: struggle in the passing game, which I think that could happen.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: See I'm kind of leaning as we closely, I'm kind
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: of leaning towards he might. I think he'll play okay,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: And it's only because I said I said earlier. Is
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: because he's already has that first run by Ron underneath
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: his belt. I don't think he's gonna be spectacular, but
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: I think he's gonna be solid.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Offensively. I'd like us to see us our offensive line
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: just dominate. I don't know if that will happen or not,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: because that's what's killed us in the past. It's been
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: their offense. They're they're just they've always looked bigger and
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: stronger than us.
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: I think that's not going to change yet.
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: What I want to see is, yeah, I want to
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: see time for Rola to pass.
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: That's the main thing. Some deep shots to one second,
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: you're asking your talk for a seing, I'm getting called out.
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: You're getting called out.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Yep. I'll be back a second.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Okay. Yeah, So I guess that's that's pretty much the
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Michigan preview. I don't know Dak had to leave. We
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: looking at the spread one and a half. I think
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: that's way too low. The over under forty four point five.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: I think that's probably closed because it's gonna be a
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: lot of running game. Clock gonna be running. I think
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: just Michigan's linebackers are gonna they're gonna stop the run
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: pretty well. They're gonna win up front, both offensive defensive side.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: I could just be pessimistic because Michigan's kicked our butts
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: the last couple of years. But the ESPN Football Power
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Index has been changing over the week to favor Michigan.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: It started Nebraska as actually, you know, it's like sixty
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: percent favorite, and now we're only it's fifty to fifty game.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: We'll see what kind of environment Lincoln provides. I think
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: that's gonna I really do think that the only only
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: way we win is the home field advantage. I don't
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna be enough. So I'll I'm probably gonna
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: take Oh, I'm taking Michigan to win. I'll have them
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: win twenty thirty thirty one to sixteen thirty one sixteen
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: Michigan DAK. I just gave my score prediction. If you
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: want to give your score prediction, I'm back.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Let's go.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: God.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: I was so confident go and in the week. Then
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: the Braskut win this game and so we get closer.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I'm I'm so worried about that run game for Michigan.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: You're gonna kill us.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go twenty to seventeen. Nebraska wins on the
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: last singond field goal.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Wow, you still have us winning?
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: I do, but I had to win in my tenor
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: in the week. There is one more thing that we'd
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: like to see but probably won't happen. We'd like to
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: see Archie Wilson not punt again.
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: There we go. No more Archie Wilson or Lord Savior.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: He ad team made the field though last week I did.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: I saw I made a victory formation.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: You gotta get him. You gotta get him in the field.
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe fake pump by him.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: Let's see, we'll see if we win. I expect Emmitt
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: Johnson's our leading receiver. I think that's where we're gonna
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: get him the most is where we're dumping it out
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to Emmett and he's making something happen.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was there was one more thing to talk
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: about here before. Iola in his uh pres Commas week
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: said that Colorado was electric, but he wants this week
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: to be even more electric.
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: There do you think?
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: No?
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: Obviously, obviously it's a big it's a big game. You
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: think it's a bigger game in the card of last year.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: No, you don't. I think for the program it is.
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: For the program, it is. But we as a fan
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: base hate Colorado so much.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, I agree with either fan base wise, no,
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: program wise, yes, I agree.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, if if you win this, all of a sudden,
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: it looks it's like, oh, the grass is green. On
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: the other side, we can run the table till Penn State.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Then all of a sudden, we're looking at you know,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: attend to two. Ye're I mean, this is you're This
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: could very well be the lunch pin of I don't
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: want to be Hunter, you know, a little hunter esque,
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: but this could be you know, weather Ment Rule makes
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: her break. This could be a big your break game,
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: and he probably knows that.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, oh yeah, this is this is the biggest
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: game for the program in years.
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Because yeah, if we win this, you will start looking
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: at the schedule. You look down the line and you're like, okay, well,
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: if you're Matt Rule, all the pressures on the year
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: three and all the promises of you know, we're going
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: to be a physical old team, and the leaked halftime
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: videos that we're gonna kill them, and you look down
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: the line, it's like, well, we don't play another ranked
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: opponent until the USC and they're hardly.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Ranked, you know, yep, yeah, it's.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: It's and on the flip side, is you lose this
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: game and how'screnations just in the in the tank game and.
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: You have a pie week coming up, so just a week.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: It's two weeks of listening to how they lost that game,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: about just breaking down everything. Everyone's rock bottom again depending
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: on how the game went. Now in wrestlings get killed,
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: then it's really rock him. But I don't think I
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: don't think they're getting killed. It's I've heard this a
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: lot of other places too. This feels like the biggest
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: proved game Nebraska has had.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: I probably agree. I mean, but I'm sure we said
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: that at some point last year, but.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: We probably said that about ten times on this podcast.
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: You can feel it, you can feel the pressure like
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: they're ready, and nationally, some pundits they're pretty they're leaning
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: in Nebraska a little bit.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: There's something about the fan base this year, because usually
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: it is like over the best team. Ever, it feels
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: like this year the fan base is more like I.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Let's see it.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agreed, So let's see it this week?
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Go out and beat Michigan.
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: You have us barely winning.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Make make biffl pog cry.
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: Okay, uh, I guess other shout out Nebraska volleyball breaking
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: another attendance record in Omaha against Creighton five set match.
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Did you go?
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I did not go, but it was good. I watched
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: the whole thing on TV. We looked sloppy, I'm gonna
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: be honest, but we got the win out. So, uh,
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: do you have any We have a couple of top
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: twenty matchups this week? Do you have any walks of
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: the week? You got Texas Tech, Verus Utah, Auburn Oklahoma,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Jack and Donold coming home Jackson Arnold's coming home Illinois
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: Verus Indiana another top twenty matchup.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't that interesting?
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: How that's the biggest That's the biggest, big ten game
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: of the week. If you're ten years ago.
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: Shit, you would have said that. Three years ago, No.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: One would no one would believe you. My lock of
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: the week is Miami. My my seven a half against Florida.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I cannot believe that's a spring Miami Florida does not
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: look good. They their quarterback likeway just through five pix
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: and LSU in Miami. I hate Miami, but sadly they
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: look very good. I said Carson Beck sect to him
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: in the year. I'm starting to change on that he
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: might actually be good. And it's at Miami. I cannot
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: believe it's only seven and a half. I think they
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: win that game by seventeen plus. I just think Miami
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: is better than Florida. And Billy Napier is on the
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: hottest seat in the nation right now. So take Miami
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: in the points right there. I don't know why game
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: days there either that's that's insane.
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: It's the swamp, right or is it that?
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: No, it's at Miami, whatever their state, whatever you call
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: their stadium.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: Oh there's another rock.
• 27:49

• 28:11
  Speaker 5: Yep, all right, Dak any other lasting thoughts, I don't.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: It's been pretty quiet as far as the Nebraska social
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: media this week.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: It has, which is good.
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: I think that's intentional. I don't think they want any.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Extra Is that good? Nerves?
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: I think nerves a lot of nerves going in this game.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: All I gotta say is prove it.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: This is the week.
• 28:45

• 29:09
