0:46
Welcome back to the boundary Corner podcast.
0:50
My name is Curtis Wilson. I'm Brian seagull.
0:53
How you doing on this man again? Got a little rainy weekend,
1:17
coming up, rainy cold, going to probably miss, baseball,
1:22
practice tomorrow and I'm we had a game tonight.
1:27
Our field was borderline okay to play.
1:30
There were still puddles and everything and it is as much
1:32
rain as they say. We're going to get tomorrow into
1:36
Friday, we're not playing till next week sometime.
1:40
Yeah, it's going to be a soggy one the next couple days.
1:43
So I figured y'all are probably not going to see any games until
1:47
next week. So no, not for all if that's
1:50
what you were looking for. All things considered, if not,
1:54
it is what it is. When you say fall ball, we do
1:56
not reschedule schedule. But tonight, let's reschedule
2:00
game from Monday. So it's kind of cool, but I
2:04
think we also need Needed to. I think I coach saw the weather
2:07
and it's like, we're not going to play Saturday or not going to
2:09
play Thursday. We're not going to play
2:12
Saturday, so if we don't get them in, will be almost two
2:15
weeks between games which is yeah, not a funny.
2:18
So got it. Got it got to make it happening
2:21
but this is sort of the last week we can like really, really
2:25
do it because I mean time change this weekend, the next like if
2:30
we can't get a field at five We don't have one of the field
2:34
lights, you know? We're not going to be out of
2:37
play. I mean heck we were out there
2:39
the last 20 minutes, it will start to get Dusky so it was
2:41
kind of pushing it man. So yeah.
2:44
So your wife posted something, you guys had a murder mystery
2:49
tonight. Well yeah well up to a
2:52
neighbor's house. Did a little murder mystery in a
2:54
box I guess they get like a monthly thing and decided we do
3:01
it together, we solve the mystery, man, and two, bailiffs
3:05
captain. Yeah.
3:08
It was skipped / Bayless her bailiff.
3:15
Well some of his takes are murdering because there's just
3:17
that bad. I mean, you know, but I guess
3:21
that's the way you get ahead in sports media.
3:22
Nowadays is just make asinine statements and then never ever
3:26
come off of them, right? Yeah.
3:28
You pick a guy you pick a player you hate and just rip them
3:31
regardless of the situation regardless of the facts
3:34
presented, like that's, he's Like three or four guys, he just
3:37
rips on regularly and then he just throws in other bad takes
3:41
four teams. He doesn't like, and then he
3:43
just puts a bow on it, and that's what he does even when
3:47
it's wrong. Oh yeah, that's even better when
3:50
it's wrong. All right?
3:52
It's all about, it's all about clicks and eyes, man, it doesn't
3:55
matter whether he's right. It is true.
3:58
Clicks acrylics are the important part, man.
4:00
All right. Well, Braun Lets Roll into it.
4:03
No, the enemy this week Hokies. Travel West to Louisville, to
4:09
play the Cardinals, Cardinals 2 and 4 overall, 1 and 4 in
4:13
conference play, but they are coming off one of the better
4:17
performances of the year against FSU, 4816 win, all right.
4:22
We'll kick it off with the offense.
4:25
They are they are loaded with a three headed monster at
4:29
quarterback wide receiver and running back.
4:32
Malik Cunningham the quarterback to to at well and JV and Hawkins
4:36
so bright. I want to start with Cunningham.
4:39
Let's start at quarterback just because he's got the ball in his
4:41
hands every time right before the season.
4:44
So far put up really good numbers. 1396 passing yards, 12
4:49
touchdowns five interceptions. Sixty two point nine.
4:52
Completion percentage. Adding on to that 174, rushing
4:56
yards and three touchdowns. Now, although the rushing yards
5:01
where they were last year, comparatively there is no doubt.
5:05
This is going to be the biggest duel threat.
5:09
The Hokies have faced all year. You know we saw Sam Harmon run
5:13
last week for a touchdown but those guys compared to this guy
5:17
it's night and day, 15th and passing yards, 27th and passing
5:22
efficiency and know. Overall, he's really had one bad
5:25
game. Brian.
5:26
I mean in that was the pit game. You kind of, were we picked out
5:30
a few weeks ago where you threw three interceptions, only 170
5:35
yards and a 42 percent completion.
5:38
So you know, you got an athletic guy back at quarterback, who
5:41
obviously canceling, the rock Brian.
5:44
What do you see out of Malik Cunningham?
5:48
Definitely a guy that can beat you with his legs.
5:50
Like you said there, man. That's a true dual threat.
5:55
We've had here. I think other guys are have been
5:59
athletic quarterbacks. This guy's a true dual threat,
6:02
who can dynamically beat you with his legs and his arm, they
6:08
get in the ball, in the running game, a lot of different ways.
6:11
Sometimes that's the scrambled, but primarily the way they draw
6:14
it up, in terms of a coal Run for the quarterback is going to
6:18
be a lot of QB drawers. So you'll see him kind of
6:22
influence. With kind of a drop step and
6:25
then he'll just take off. Usually up the middle between
6:27
the tackles there, try to find a crease get to the second level.
6:31
Make some guys miss try to bust a big one.
6:35
He's also a quarterback that for not being the biggest guy.
6:39
He doesn't shy away from contact.
6:41
I heard something on the broadcast where they were
6:44
talking about the quarterback room talked about, we don't run
6:47
out of bounds, we don't slide we fight for every yard.
6:51
So that's something that has Kind of come back to bite them a
6:55
couple times because Cunningham was banged up pretty bad in the
6:59
pit game towards the end there. Especially that last big shot.
7:02
He took, oh yeah, he came off the field once against Notre
7:05
Dame. So he's going to take some shots
7:09
and there's going to be some opportunities there their Forest
7:13
but when he's not running, he throws a pretty decent deep
7:17
ball. That's what they like to do is
7:19
attack down for you with the football.
7:22
They're not, they're not a ding. Conduct team.
7:24
They're not a team that's going to kind of throw those
7:27
intermediate routes a whole lot. They're going to throw some
7:30
screens to the wide receivers and then take shots so look for
7:34
him to do that with his arm. Some of that could be because
7:39
his intermediate are magar. See is not the greatest he'll
7:43
miss on through, still wait too long on throws but if it's not
7:49
there and he sees an opening Hill, quite easily, likes to
7:52
climb the pocket early in the after the snap and then if it's
7:56
not there he's not afraid to take off and makes things happen
7:59
with his legs. So there's going to have to be a
8:00
lot of discipline from the defense against this guy.
8:04
All right, so disciplined and then something you mentioned
8:07
just a couple seconds ago. The Deep shot the Deep balls and
8:11
Buddy, does he have himself a wide receiver to throw the ball
8:15
to in 22 at? Well man, I mean he's no doubt.
8:21
His favorite Target five touchdowns this year 450.
8:25
Receiving yards, 32 receptions at 14 perceptions and this
8:31
season, his best games have come.
8:33
Um, against some of the better athletic teams.
8:36
Athletically gifted means with Miami and FSU, both over 100
8:41
plus yards and he's scary, man. I mean, this guy is a sub for
8:45
for guy, was clocked it for 38 last year and a 40, so he can
8:51
get on it top 10 in receiving yards, in the country and he is
8:54
leading the ACC. I should say, tied for the lead.
8:58
Now, Brian, you watched, obviously, it's film.
9:00
Does he play as fast as these stats are?
9:03
Saying and what that clock says or is it he plays fast or he
9:08
doesn't play Fast, impasse, he's just passed, he's a track
9:12
athlete. That also is fast on the field.
9:16
See it run by guys run through zones.
9:22
Definitely likes to take more likes to hit him either down,
9:25
filled with the shot or in the screen game where you can kind
9:29
of Working space a little bit so they're not trying to run him
9:35
over the Middle where he's getting hit ton by linebackers
9:38
and things like that. But what he does well is he's
9:42
going to outrun your guy if you're playing that man coverage
9:46
if you're giving half feel responsibility to a safety,
9:49
that's not really something you want to do a whole lot of either
9:53
and have against the FSU game here.
9:55
And by guy just for a touchdown right up the sideline, You know,
10:01
he's going to be a guy that we have to keep in front of us the
10:04
whole game, if we're going to contain him, he's only an
10:07
average route Runner. He's not got a great route
10:09
Runner, but but what he does, well is working space and just
10:13
take the top off a defense. And that's kind of scary when
10:18
you say that Brian because I think about the UNC game and
10:23
multiple fun beat over the top and I know we were we were still
10:26
acting. We were short-handed but it
10:29
worries you when a guy's 438, man, man.
10:32
The first thing you say is, if we tried going man and he gets
10:35
beat and they put one on the money.
10:37
Like we have seen numerous time in Louisville's game this year,
10:41
it's three plays in there in the end zone.
10:43
And if I were to happen early the way we Been playing
10:48
especially on offense, you can be very long day for us, but you
10:52
know, is bothersome is that isn't is worrisome.
10:54
Is that is the third head of this monster is absolute?
10:57
No slouch. JV and Hawkins has 693 yards and
11:03
six touchdowns 11 receptions at 85 yards.
11:06
In three of his six games played, he's won over 156 yards
11:14
per Rush, including last week, 10.9 against FSU.
11:21
He's already improved those receptions from last year and
11:24
he's kind of slowly becoming an all-around back which is really
11:29
good for Louis. Bill because they really don't
11:31
have to substitute him out. He can stay in there, the whole
11:33
dime. 693 yards. There's only two people ahead of
11:38
them in the country. One person had him in the
11:41
conference Khalil Herbert's. A guy in the conference and, you
11:46
know, it's it's pretty wild top 25 in yards per carry surprise.
11:55
We worry about the guys going over the top, but they've got a
11:57
guy that can run. So how, you know, what do we got
12:01
to do to slow him down and what does he do?
12:03
Really well, that's going to potentially cost.
12:05
I'm for the Hokies. So, another thing with with with
12:08
Hawkins man we're talking about a track athlete at wide
12:11
receiver, with that. Well, we've got another track
12:13
athlete at running back with Hawkins, kind of a big play guy.
12:18
If you get into the second level really dangerous in the open
12:22
field, but he's not going to grind out drives like some of
12:27
the guys we saw with Wake Forest or even some of the guys we saw
12:30
on UNC, he is definitely more of a Feast, or famine, hit the big
12:35
play, or it's probably just a my skein to a loss.
12:41
Yeah, I've seen him thrown for a lot of negative plays, but then
12:44
they'll turn around and hit just a big chunk play with them.
12:47
And obviously, you know, you get 30 on one carry and -5 one
12:50
another, you still have a pretty damn good average there ever
12:54
carry. So that's kind of what you're
12:55
looking at with with Hawkins is that he's not going to beat you
13:00
you know, five to eight yards at a time, he's going to beat you.
13:03
By hitting those big cashing runs and get 20 to 30 yards or
13:07
go for the big one. Give you a prime example man he
13:12
had a big run against Pittsburgh things like a 70 or 75 yd
13:16
touchdown but he had less than 10 total yards from scrimmage.
13:20
The rest of the game in the room, the running attack.
13:23
So he was still used some of the passing game, but if you're able
13:28
to keep him from getting to the second level, you can make Look
13:33
pedestrian. But if you can't do that, he's
13:37
going to run up and down the field.
13:41
Now, Brian even mention something with Cunningham you
13:43
should mention wide receiver screens but you didn't mention
13:45
running back screens. It's he strictly just a check
13:48
down guy or something like that. Maybe like, you know, up the
13:53
seam or something, and not really do anything because the
13:56
way they use them primarily, man, is they use them a lot in
13:58
the check down game, but they also will kind of run him on
14:01
some wheel routes. So I've seen him catch about two
14:04
or three of those 20 yards, downfield, 30 yards downfield,
14:08
one of them actually I think it was Notre Dame was an easy
14:14
touchdown that kind of came actually through short and he
14:19
kind of had to fall forward on it and by the time you reach the
14:21
ball out, he was right at the 1-yard line.
14:23
So it could have been a touchdown for him there but
14:27
wasn't because of the throw. So got to keep an eye on him
14:31
when he leaves the backfield as well because he can still I'll
14:33
bite you, especially on those wheel routes.
14:36
Most of the check down stuff. They're getting the ball to him
14:38
and space either. A quick swing pass or a true
14:43
check down if the primary target, isn't there?
14:46
So still got to tackle him in those instances because he liked
14:49
again, if he does get to the second level or into some wide
14:52
open spaces there, he can hurt you.
14:56
Got it, Brian. Alright, let's turn.
14:58
Let's turn away from the three-headed monster and kind of
15:00
look at some other pieces that are offense.
15:02
Now overall their total offense, you're getting four hundred
15:05
sixteen yards a game which is good for 43rd and Country.
15:07
So my terrible and they're pretty balanced on offense.
15:14
We're really neither The Passion of the rubbish, really exploded
15:16
up into the top 20 where team like you know, Wake Forest
15:21
really their running game is what carries He's them now
15:26
they're very efficient in the Red Zone, converting 95% of
15:29
their chances and you know, 15 of their 22 touchdowns.
15:37
I scored have come in the red zone so they get down there
15:40
majority of time. They're scoring touchdowns.
15:43
Now this team when you lose book, in tackles one who is an
15:48
absolute beast, from Highland Springs, In McHale pectin,
15:54
you're going to give up sex and they are, they're giving up
15:56
about two and a half, two and a half sacks per game 63rd in the
15:59
country. So in the bottom half, they also
16:01
give up around nine tackles for loss of game as well.
16:06
So there is you just mentioned with Hawkins about.
16:10
He's not really going to grow around you.
16:11
So if you can get them in the backfield and get him down,
16:13
you're putting them behind the chains.
16:16
But again, they like the chunk plays.
16:18
So getting them behind the chains and Obviously, you know,
16:24
keeping them behind the change is going to be super important
16:26
for the Hokies but you know, you know, wide receiver you
16:31
mentioned. We got to to, you know, best
16:33
Fitzpatrick Branson's, very good.
16:35
Compliments to to not putting up the numbers he are, but not bad
16:39
receivers at all. But one guy that we me, and you
16:42
kind of discussed and you brought them to the light was
16:45
Marshawn. Ford number 83, six-foot-two
16:48
240-pound tight in half back. Unranked Hometown kid playing
16:53
form so far this year, 18 receptions, 189 yards and four
16:57
touchdowns. So Brian, what only are you
17:02
seeing from him? But what else are you seeing?
17:04
Like from their offensive line and this team in general with
17:07
the other parts of the offense that aren't part of the
17:09
three-headed monster? So yeah the big thing like I
17:13
said we highlighted Marshawn forward and he's kind of a kind
17:16
of a do-it-all HVAC he's usually going to be an HVAC instead of
17:20
true in line tight in they like to do stuff with him out of the
17:23
back field especially in the goal line area.
17:27
So we talked about their Red Zone chances there he does a
17:30
great job blocking the Red Zone but he also does a great job
17:33
kind of getting out of the backfield going in motion and
17:37
just getting open for those touchdowns.
17:39
He said I think two or three, two or three of those those
17:41
touchdowns A come in the Red Zone, he had another long one.
17:44
I think that he took the house, I believe it was against Florida
17:48
State. Or one that I believe I have
17:53
almost scored on that one. I can't remember if that was the
17:55
one that got got moved back to the 1-yard line or not.
17:58
But he's a dynamic player as well, but their offensive line
18:01
is probably the weakest part of their off to you mention losing
18:04
two bookends. And you can definitely tell it,
18:06
especially in the past game, Cunningham is taking a lot of
18:09
shots this year. The again I noted earlier he got
18:13
hit a lot against Pitt. That hit a pretty good amount
18:16
against Notre Dame, got hit probably more than he should.
18:20
Have considering how well they were moving the football against
18:23
Florida State. So, you know, he's definitely a
18:26
guy that's going to take a hit and I think this offensive line
18:30
is kind of more finesse than power.
18:32
That's why you see some of those plays that Hawkins is running,
18:37
either get thrown for kind of negative yardage or bust out for
18:40
the big one if they're able to get on their blocks and stay on
18:44
their blocks. They end up doing pretty well,
18:47
but if they don't stay on the blocks, then a lot of times, ha
18:51
Let's pull down for no gain or loss of a couple yards.
18:54
So it'll be interesting to see how we attack that offense
18:59
offensive line and kind of make them think more than they need
19:02
to. I think that's what we're going
19:03
to need to do is confuse them a little bit and try to take
19:07
advantage of the fact that they aren't kind of the road graders.
19:12
They're more fit up and see what happens.
19:14
Type offensive line. So hopefully we do well with it.
19:18
All right, let me ask his Brawn to prom.
19:20
Question, if we slow down on Cunningham, 22 and Hawkins.
19:27
Can we win this game and how do we slow them?
19:30
Now, how do we attack this team? You know what I would do to slow
19:38
down Cunningham in the running game is I would probably let a
19:40
guy like Tisdale spy Cunningham pretty much the whole game,
19:44
especially on obvious passing situations.
19:48
You don't want the quarterback to beat you with this legs
19:52
especially when he's dropping back in the pocket.
19:54
So if he tries to escape the pocket, I'd like to have a guy
19:58
that's athletic like Tisdale but also a good tackler to be able
20:02
to track him and bring him to the Now, the second thing is, I
20:07
mean, don't let 22 at will be Tuesday, make him work
20:12
underneath, make him earn the yards, don't give him 30, 40
20:17
yard games in the air, make him have to get them either in the
20:21
screen game or some of those hitches or outs or things like
20:26
that. They like to throw in the
20:27
intermediate game and make them have to catch the ball, secure
20:32
the ball, make honey, I'm after every accurate ball and not give
20:36
him. Those sheep Big Shots down the
20:37
field. How about him?
20:39
They're not all the guys. I think all three of them are
20:42
like 59. I think 22 you like 170 Hawkins
20:47
is like 185 or 185 190 at all. Yeah and that's the big thing is
20:58
that I think if you can make them punish them a little bit,
21:02
make them pay for it. I've seen Hawkins put the ball
21:05
on the ground and several times. So there's going to be some
21:08
opportunities there. You kind of get him in a In a
21:12
jam there, you know, I've seen guys, pull the ball out on him,
21:16
so that that's something that will try to take advantage of.
21:18
I'm sure we've had some success punching the ball out like we
21:21
saw against Boston College. Hopefully we can maybe replicate
21:24
some of that. I think some of the delay
21:27
blitzes would come in handy here that we saw early in the season
21:30
to kind of confuse Cunningham when he when he does drop back
21:34
and the most important thing we need to do is just tackle
21:38
tackle. Well when we get to a position
21:41
to make a tackle, we make the tackle because if you don't make
21:46
a tackle in these guys have area to work that's going to be
21:49
problematic. Yeah, Brian, you talk about
21:52
tackling the last few things out here, is third down wise.
21:56
They're converting. 40% of their third Downs.
21:58
They're converting 60% of their third down of their fourth
22:01
Downs. Excuse me.
22:03
And, you know, the problems we've had it has not been
22:07
consistent, but it's sporadically that weight force.
22:10
It was that drive? It was just like, we could never
22:13
stop them. And when you see a team that's
22:16
converting, you know, 40 and 60. It's like, is this another game
22:20
where their third and three, they get it.
22:24
Third and six, we stop them. One yard short, but they the
22:26
risk on Fourth and they push it. I think I could be a big issue
22:29
for us now. I did see one thing you talked
22:34
about getting stripped out, we've mentioned the
22:36
interceptions. They have 12 turnovers so far,
22:40
so that could be good for us, right?
22:45
Yes. I mean, I think we definitely
22:46
need to turn them if you're not turning them over at least
22:48
probably two times in this game. I don't feel very good.
22:54
All right, so that that now that's my son.
23:00
The other piece is that we look at ourselves last week with the
23:04
highest amount of penalties and penalty yards in a Virginia Tech
23:08
game under Justin Fuente. They are significantly A
23:11
undisciplined Team all the time. They're 79th in the country with
23:15
332 penalty yards and basically in all their ACC games at least
23:21
six penalties somewhere during the Game.
23:24
So a little bit of undisciplined there.
23:26
Something you probably would expect as a team is essentially
23:29
getting turned around from the dumpster fire.
23:32
So hopefully I'm like last week, it's them making the penalties
23:38
and giving us. The first downs are backing
23:40
themselves up and putting themselves in bad situations on
23:43
both sides of the ball. Yes, I've seen them scenes of
23:48
holding some face mask. Couple P eyes.
23:54
I mean they'll commit kind of penalties across the board.
23:57
It's not any one area that you can really highlight, but they
24:02
definitely their discipline leave something to be desired.
24:04
Just like we played last week, hopefully we can stick more to
24:08
our average and hopefully they'll stick to theirs and I
24:11
think we'll be okay in that category.
24:13
Absolutely. All right, well let's look to
24:15
the defense. Take a quick look at that.
24:18
Just a little statistics and data here.
24:20
Their Total Defense is 44th in the country.
24:22
Giving up. 383 yards. A game at about five point seven
24:25
three per play scoring defense sensually, given about 27 and a
24:29
half points. 187, rushing yards per game at four point nine one
24:35
per touch. Again, you feel with what we do
24:37
on offense, that hopefully can Transit translate to big numbers
24:42
in that game. Now one interesting piece,
24:45
Brian. And I don't know if you saw
24:47
anything while you're going through the tape, but the only
24:49
give up about 18 first downs, Game.
24:53
It seems like on the low side where when we talked about BC
24:56
and couple the other teams, those teams were more in the low
25:00
20s. So that's kind of interesting to
25:03
me there. Is it, do they get them off the
25:05
field or is it? No, they give up three big plays
25:08
and then you're off the field with the touchdown, okay?
25:12
In the second apartment, getting about two and a half sacks per
25:15
game. Seven tackles for loss so they
25:17
do have a way to create some pressure you know?
25:23
They've only forced four, turnovers two fumbles, two
25:26
interceptions. So there are -8 internal
25:33
category which is probably one reason they're two and four
25:37
right now and not at three and three, maybe even four and two.
25:41
And then last piece always like to look at third down
25:44
conversions, they're giving up 45% third down conversion, which
25:48
translate to 72nd the country. So not good at all Brian.
25:51
So, Just looking at this Brine and then take a look at what.
25:58
You did with their skiing. What is this team look like in?
26:01
What can we what are we looking for on this team?
26:06
Sure, so the big thing I'll start with the there a base 314
26:11
so you not something we've really seen to this point.
26:14
We've seen some 33, some some 42 and some 245 but their base is
26:22
going to be a 34 but they do mix front.
26:25
So like on obvious passing Downs They're going to run the nose
26:28
off, run an extra DB on and got to go with a with a 245 look on
26:36
some obvious passing Downs there.
26:38
But when I looked at the tape man so they're D line is not
26:43
great. Probably the weakest part of
26:45
their defense. Looks like that's an area that
26:47
we should be able to attack but they have really athletic
26:50
linebackers in their secondary please really opportunistic and
26:54
Zone coverage when it's Passing down this defense is success, is
27:01
kind of predicated on getting pressure on those downs and
27:03
they'll do it with the with kind of a variety of kind of Blitz
27:07
packages and they'll switch up the coverage behind those Blitz
27:10
packages. So they'll Blitz and and give
27:13
you a man free look in which case we would need to find the
27:16
mismatch if they give a kind of cover three combo coverage.
27:20
We need to look for the check down or the crossing route to
27:24
take advantage of some of those linebackers and coverage and if
27:29
it's kind of a cover 3 Zone Blitz, we just need to find the
27:32
void. See if they got a route in that
27:35
area and take advantage there. But that's what they like to do.
27:38
On the passing Downs is bring that pressure and try to make
27:42
you make a mistake or get a sack, whatever it may be, so,
27:47
but they play a good show when they're in that cover three
27:50
look. So, we're going to again, like,
27:52
we, like I talked about last week, we're going to have to
27:54
kind of take our shots underneath that.
27:57
And not keep trying to press the ball.
27:59
Deep down the field. Say it again.
28:05
Stop throwing Fades. It's okay.
28:08
Occasionally, it's not okay. Every time we get in third and
28:10
long so I'd like to, you know, hopefully see us utilize some of
28:17
the quick passing game and, you know, they usually play more of
28:21
a straight cover three. But occasionally, they'll go
28:24
into like a quarter quarter half look and like I said, And when
28:27
they sometimes go on this blitzes it'll be kind of a man
28:31
free look, so a single high safety.
28:34
All right, Brian. Brian you mentioned the two
28:36
athletic linebackers really stood out to you.
28:39
And you know that's CJ, Avery the 5-11 230-pound inside
28:44
linebacker who was a composite four-star, coming out of
28:46
Mississippi, a top 247 player in the country.
28:50
So far this year, 40 tackles one interception, three tackles for
28:53
loss, and one sack and then the other is Monty Montgomery.
28:58
The Juco transfer 32 tackles seven-and-a-half tackles for
29:03
loss for sale. tax kind of just looking at that and in hearing
29:08
you talk about it, you know, am I wrong in saying Avery's the
29:12
backbone of the defense, but Montgomery's that guy you kind
29:15
of worry about That's a pretty accurate assessment.
29:19
Like Avery's the all-around guy. He does a lot of things really
29:23
well. And Monty Montgomery is the
29:27
disrupter. He's great in pursue.
29:30
He shoots gaps in the backfield. He's good at Rushing the passer
29:33
when they Blitz led the team in sacks last year.
29:36
So that tells you something there but CJ Avery, I mean,
29:39
he's, he's the balance kind of do it all guy, he tackles well,
29:43
he plays well in coverage, tackles in space.
29:46
And he's had a pic against Pitt and returned it for some decent
29:51
yardage throws guys, for some tackles for loss in the running
29:54
game. So he really does it all.
29:56
He's the Sound Player, he's where he needs to be while Monte
30:00
Montgomery's more of the the freestyler that completely
30:05
disrupt your play if he guesses, right?
30:10
All right, but what are some things like you saw against some
30:13
of the games that work that we might implement?
30:18
Yeah, so I'll say something and you can tell me what you think
30:21
about this pit rush for over 150 yards against this defense.
30:26
Well, that's no one fit and how their offense works and knowing
30:31
they gas for 150. That makes me feel better about
30:34
us running the football this week.
30:36
Yeah, well at least put us in the 250 just by default we
30:44
should be Kind of over that to 150.
30:48
So, That's kind of been our bread
31:34
and butter. This year, Herbert should be
31:36
able to The edge of more consistency, we should be able
31:39
to use Blackshear and our wide receivers in more, the jet
31:44
motion game and in some of the outside runs whether it's the
31:48
sweep or some of the other items that we kind of worked in here
31:51
and there. So I like that.
31:54
And I'm hoping that we can throw the ball well enough.
31:58
In kind of the different levels of the defense that we need to.
32:00
So they can't just keep throwing a Hard Eight box out us the
32:05
whole game because if we can do that, we should be able to solve
32:08
them up. I did see that both pit and
32:12
Notre Dame had some success in like the counter and screen
32:15
game. So I expect to see some of that
32:18
thrown out there as well. Okay.
32:20
They they like to get kind of fooled by Some of the window
32:27
dressing and motion before a snap.
32:30
So might be able to get them to over-pursue or or look the wrong
32:34
direction at the snap of the football.
32:36
So there might be some opportunities there.
32:39
Got it, Brian. So again we're you're talking
32:44
and saying good things, but I'm always concerned about who's at
32:49
the controls. So let's let's go, let's go to
32:53
this, let's go to pivotal players because obviously you
32:56
know we've got to know who we should be looking at is hokey
32:59
fans this week and kind of deciding how we're going to win
33:04
this game and we landed on 11 because he literally played his
33:08
His worst game as a hokey and in hookers, one and hidden hookers.
33:15
One also for the other reason, and you would let me put him on
33:18
here. But I'll let you know.
33:22
All right, so hookers on here because number one hooker played
33:25
a bad game last last week. It needs to get out there redeem
33:28
himself. And number two is that we're
33:30
going to need hooker both running.
33:33
And passing this week, we're not going to be able to settle on
33:36
him, just having success in the running game and only hitting a
33:39
few passes. While throwing three picks, we
33:41
can't do that again. We need him running the
33:45
inverted. V r with the Reeds would even
33:47
with the Zone reads. We need him to actually be
33:49
reading this situation. Not just, it being a Jet Sweep
33:55
or an outside Zone, we need to have him reading the play,
33:58
whether it's place out on the inverted beer, whether it's
34:01
backside on the Zone, read and making plays with his legs.
34:05
But also throwing to those wide receivers.
34:07
On those quick passes outside Crossing routes, which are going
34:12
to be important to kind of beat those man.
34:14
Underneath coverages and screens to take advantage of some of
34:17
their over Pursuit and ability to Fall for the window dressing
34:25
before the snap. So he's going to be the play.
34:28
But what's going to be more important?
34:30
Is that, as you said, break or Nelson, needs to call a much
34:34
better game than be called against wake for hooker to have
34:38
that type of game as well. So hopefully that they're both
34:41
in sync this week and hooker plays well and executes, and
34:46
cornelison is calling a game that doesn't Make a bad
34:50
situation worse. Like you did last week?
34:53
Absolutely. Alright.
34:54
Number two on the list. Brian something you already
34:57
mentioned jet sweeps. We put Rahim Blackshear because
35:02
I will say this last week in the Wake Forest game when the jet
35:08
sweeps for called not deep down inside the Red Zone they were a
35:13
very effective play it. They were they the only two
35:17
times they didn't go positive when we were in shorts.
35:19
In the end, all the others we saw what, like a 12 and then a
35:22
10 yard gain and I think one more like six yard game so
35:27
positive yardage. You know, for the Hokies where
35:31
it's, that's really great to have.
35:33
Because as you just pointed out, You said, you felt a couple of
35:38
those Jet Sweep calls last week. They were strictly jet sweeps.
35:43
There were no reads on it and we made it look like a hooker was
35:47
just carrying out of fake, not actually reading, especially on
35:52
the one. Unless T I did look like he was
35:55
reading because the one that he gave to Blackshear inside the 10
35:59
that just got completely ate up for like a seven-yard loss.
36:04
If he keeps it, he walks into the The End Zone.
36:07
Oh yeah. Got a blocker.
36:09
And there's only one guy that stopped him and he's got space
36:11
to maneuver, so we I think he wants in there.
36:15
So let's see, completely misread there but he will.
36:18
It looked like he wasn't even carrying out his fake strong.
36:20
So I don't think it was a true re but I could be wrong.
36:25
But that that's what I'm that's what's in my head based on what
36:28
I saw there. So for Blackshear it's going to
36:30
be two things here man. So I want us to start running
36:34
more, 21 Personnel. We ran it some against weight
36:39
especially when we had black shirt on the field on the jet
36:41
ski. I want more of it and I want
36:44
more three wide receiver sets versus some of the sets out
36:48
there with Mitchell and Gallo. Just because I think I want to
36:56
spread this defense out a little bit.
36:57
They have two linebackers that are very good.
37:00
I don't need more guys in the Box.
37:03
Gumming up the running game. So I want to see three wide
37:07
receiver sets. I want to see 21 Personnel where
37:09
we can use Blackshear in the slot in the weighing and maybe
37:15
even, you know, getting a traditional carry from the
37:17
backfield and putting Herbert somewhere else.
37:19
So there's so many options that you can do there.
37:21
I know I've talked about it, probably ad nauseam at this
37:24
point. Probably listeners are getting a
37:26
little tired of broad, so I've done with 21 Personnel.
37:28
No, no, what? No, we haven't found a
37:31
consistent third wide receiver. Why not leave this guy on the
37:34
feet? It's very true.
37:37
And the other piece about you talk about running 21, running
37:40
three wide sets and things like that brine.
37:42
Is you noticed last week and this is something we, you didn't
37:46
see it until a little further into reviewing the Wake Forest
37:50
game later this week. A lot of our sets were what two
37:54
main routes. We were keeping six and seven to
37:57
a, do a Max protect where it's like, we're taking shots.
38:00
And you're sitting here saying, A drove.
38:03
You crazy because you knew to beat that team.
38:05
We needed underneath. We needed to build a little
38:08
pieces here and there into your point.
38:12
They were loading the box, right?
38:14
Well, if we had put Tre and even James and Rahim in some way and
38:20
you force them to what if you still want to play in the box,
38:24
that means you're leaving nobody behind you in the cases where
38:27
what we were doing with putting gallo and Mitchell in.
38:31
Is essentially. Well now you can still need one
38:34
safety out back to help with the Deep passes.
38:38
So yeah. Alright let's let's jump to
38:41
number three on the offensive pivotal players brine.
38:43
You mentioned earlier we mention them by name with Avery and
38:47
Montgomery the dynamic inside linebacker Duo.
38:52
Who's the third most important person in my life?
38:56
Because I mean those are going to be the guys that are
39:04
consistently throughout the game.
39:05
So they're going to need to have a really good game for us to be
39:09
able to have the big night. We're going to need in the
39:13
running game to win this game, so I look for them.
39:16
I mean, Hoffman in particular, he's going to be pivotal in.
39:19
Not only neutralizing, the news, almost Please but also some of
39:23
the handoffs in the zone where he's going to combo with a guard
39:28
up to the up to a linebacker. So look for him to have a big
39:33
game if we're going to have some success against this defense.
39:37
You know we're also talking about Nestor HUD and unless the
39:42
Smith needing to have some, some big games as well, depending on
39:44
what iteration of the offensive line ends up out there whether
39:48
it's too new to back at, right tackle or whether they go.
39:52
Go back with with Nestor back at right tackle with HUD at Right
39:56
Guard. So be interesting to see if
39:59
there's any shifts there because you know we noted last week that
40:02
new to had kind of a rough game. So I don't know if there's going
40:05
to be more fidgeting around with those rotations or if they're
40:09
going to stick with what they had and just chalk it up to two
40:12
new, to still working his way back into the swing of things.
40:16
Absolutely. Right.
40:17
I think you put we put them on here too because of what you
40:20
mentioned about This defense, it's not a good defensive line.
40:24
The secondary has to take chances to be successful if the
40:28
interior offensive line neutralizes Montgomery and
40:31
Avery, then it could be a very long night for Louisville or if
40:36
anything, they know they're going to be in a track meet
40:39
against. Yeah.
40:41
Let's look through the defensive side of the ball.
40:43
Obviously number one, we gave it away earlier, but we'll still
40:47
maintenance, you know? It was the first name.
40:50
Brian mentioned about continually Italian Allen
40:52
Tisdale. We talked about Tisdale, the
40:55
reason I liked his day on this is because it's a linebacker
40:58
that you can use in the spiral because of his athleticism
41:01
versus having to take Connor or one of the safeties out of
41:04
coverage in the zone. So I like that a little bit
41:07
better and it's a guy that's kind of more in the middle of
41:11
the defense versus kind of those Edge guys where they like to
41:15
attack. So look for Tisdale to be key
41:18
there in the spiral hopefully that comes to fruition in terms
41:22
of what I The matchup is there because I think you would be
41:25
perfect to kind of neutralize Cunningham in the quarterback
41:29
run game. You know, we talked about second
41:33
here is going to be those defensive backs man and it's
41:38
funny when we went through this we were both like defensive back
41:42
and I was like oh the corners yeah it makes sense and you know
41:44
like know the defensive back I'm like the safeties.
41:48
You're like no. Bonds basically say everybody in
41:53
the backend and is more here saying, everyone's job.
41:59
That has any deep responsibility in this game?
42:02
Do not let 22 at will get behind you.
42:06
That's what that's, that's the primary thing.
42:08
If you if you do nothing else. I want the second thing I want
42:13
you to do is tackle, but the first thing I want to do is not
42:15
let 22 at will get behind you if you do those two things, well
42:19
we're probably going to be okay. At least in the passing game.
42:24
Absolutely right. Third one run and I think you
42:27
probably put these on here because we are going to be
42:29
missing a primary starter in Jerrod you in the first half,
42:34
you know, with the targeting penalty, not going to be there
42:38
but also we're reading Mike more of a Richmond Times saying it
42:43
looks like the Sean Crawford is close to getting back.
42:47
We'll also seeing that Kendricks could get to start to putting
42:50
some more size up front and Why do you feel other than is it
42:55
just is it just having Hewitt, not there for a half?
42:58
Is that one reason you wanted to put them in this Slaughter?
43:00
Is there some other reason to run?
43:02
There's some other reasons, you know, we've kind of thrown it
43:06
back and forth obviously Hewitt is our most experienced player.
43:10
He's kind of the the juice guy on this team and Pollard is more
43:15
of the he's athletic, but he's undersized.
43:18
I'm interested to see how we get some of these bigger deal.
43:22
Offensive tackles playing some more snaps for us because we've
43:25
seen some success with with fuga.
43:28
In there playing significant snaps.
43:31
He's had success, essentially not getting moved out of the
43:34
pocket of some of the gaps and some of the smaller guys have
43:39
I'm interested to see how Kendricks and Crawford can hold
43:46
up, is there more of the like 290?
43:50
Not not quite what we're looking for.
43:52
Probably in this newer scheme on the defensive side.
43:55
But Closer than kind of our to Frontline guys have been so far
44:00
this season so I'm hoping for maybe some more success with
44:04
some of these bigger guys lining up in there.
44:06
Hopefully they won't get moved off again.
44:08
This is not, you know, a road grader type team.
44:14
I'll call the the offensive line that we played against you and
44:16
see kind of like a finesse Power Team.
44:19
This is definitely more of a straight finesse team so I'm
44:24
hoping that we're going to, we're going to have some success
44:25
if it's Shooting those gaps, getting the penetration and
44:29
making Hawkins not be able to get to the second level where he
44:33
can really do some damage. So if we, if we can have some
44:36
success there, I feel good about it.
44:37
Like I said, he would not being in there is definitely a blow
44:41
leadership wise and energy wise. But I'm hoping that some of the
44:46
matchups that we have might end up being in our favor a little
44:49
bit more, having more more size there in the interior.
44:54
Got it wrong. All right.
44:56
Well let's move on to get a prediction down here for the
44:59
game. Brian, I led the last week fell
45:02
flat on my face so I'm going to let you leave this week.
45:05
All right. Thank you.
45:07
Thank you. I think this is going to be at.
45:11
I think it's going to be a tight one.
45:14
I have faith in our offense is going to bounce back, so I think
45:20
we're going to play a lot better game.
45:23
A lot more sound football, not make the errors.
45:26
I mean we had a combination of turnovers and penalties last
45:28
week. We haven't really seen that in a
45:30
long time. So give me the Hokies. 35:31.
45:42
Let's put you down for 3531, for jigna tech line would is 3 right
45:49
now. Rope hook, he's as a road,
45:51
favorite Brian. First time for everything right?
46:00
Yep well I can't do it because I can't because my face against
46:07
the picking against a good guy, hope I'm wrong.
46:11
Hope I'm wrong by a lot of points.
46:14
But what I saw last week is when we got down in that red zone was
46:18
atrocious and I think that's going to bite Us in the ass this
46:22
week. I think we're going to move the
46:23
ball more on them and they will on us.
46:26
I just think we're going to come up short and have Brian Johnson,
46:30
kicking field goals versus stuffing it in the end zone
46:33
because we're going to do some stupid play calling inside the
46:37
15 inside the 10 that backs us up or slows us down.
46:42
And I hate saying that. I really do.
47:16
And hopefully a joke on me because I don't want to be
47:23
right. But that I've got to go with
47:27
what I'm feeling and what I'm seeing and I want this team to
47:30
prove it to me. Okay okay so you got Thirty One
47:35
Thirty Thirty One Thirty Louisville.
47:37
Thank you. See we're going to be and we're
47:38
going three, touchdowns three field goals.
47:41
Going to struggle, putting some of those drives away.
47:44
We're going to get down there more.
47:46
We are not going to convert as many times them.
47:48
Okay? So you think they're going to be
47:49
four out of five? Yep.
47:52
Well, I don't know. You I think they're going to get
47:56
at least one, maybe two deep balls.
47:59
We saw it in Carolina. And that's okay, but I also
48:05
think they're going to hit some more and get down there.
48:07
When they get down, we're going to convert.
48:09
We're going to get down there a lot more.
48:11
We're just not going to convert because we're going to do
48:14
something that doesn't make sense.
48:17
There's going to be a play where we're sitting at the 4-yard line
48:20
with first and goal and the interior line has been getting
48:25
and just wiping out there inside linebackers and we're going to
48:27
try like some fake tossed. We're going to go talk short
48:31
side or toss and we just something that makes no sense.
48:36
And and luckily, I will have to keep my my mouth.
48:42
Kind of quiet. We will be going over to the
48:44
In-laws to do a Halloween, candy hunt in the year.
48:51
We'll get to watch the game but won't get the cursed loudly.
48:55
All right, Braun, let's flip it, ACC pics.
48:58
Let's do a recap real quick last week.
49:00
Last week you came out, the gate firing 5 and 0 and then lost
49:05
three straight games. Thanks to Miami.
49:09
Thanks to Minnesota. And I think your third eye gamer
49:14
who it was, but five and three hours forward and for saved late
49:18
by Michigan. This week, we're going, we're
49:21
going for in conference, three out of conference, some pretty
49:25
good games. Some couple we got four double
49:28
digit lines that we have to make a bet on this week Brahma.
49:31
So it's gonna be really interesting.
49:33
Let's start with the team. We just played there playing
49:36
Syracuse this week staircase. Wake Forest, wait for slain ten
49:40
and a half points. Brian since you are so gracious
49:44
to lead the last one. I'm going to leave this one.
49:47
Give me way and give me the points.
49:51
I think Syracuse played the best they could play last weekend.
49:55
I think they're going to come down a little bit.
49:57
I think I think we force win this game by 17 with their sound
50:00
defense, solid Run game and effective passing game.
50:06
I am right there with you and there's zero recency bias
50:11
attached to this /s. Yeah, so there's a little
50:15
sarcasm. There are definitely some
50:17
recently buys attached to you, there's no way for me to really
50:20
separate that, but I still think wake is the better team and I
50:24
think they're, at least a 13-point 13-point winter here.
50:29
So give me wait and then points, Alright, the next game, the
50:36
biggest spread of the week were picking Boston College, Clemson
50:41
Clemson, laying 17 points less than last week, but laying still
50:45
30 and a half points against BC. Brian, what are you feeling on
50:51
this one? Clemson Clemson, Clemson.
51:26
Yeah, I think about a half where they were never pressed, but it
51:37
was closer than they wanted it to be.
51:38
So I think they come out a lot more Focus this week, I'm going
51:43
to take Clemson laying the 30 and a half me too.
51:46
Well, I think also, what BC likes to do plays into what
51:49
Clemson Frank, there's this year, which is their secondary.
51:52
So, yeah, I think your coach is going to have a pretty rough
51:55
game. Both of us laying the 30 and a
51:57
half at Clemson. All right, Brian, we have
52:00
another big line here at Notre, Dame.
52:05
Notre Dame laying 20 points now. Brian, Georgia, Tech has burned.
52:12
You numerous times this year numerous times of late Notre,
52:17
Dame is also burned. the two teams that I think the most
52:26
unpredictable, even though Notre Dame on the top end on the
52:29
beneficial side, in terms of still, still winning the game
52:32
but not convincingly and then Georgia Tech, you know, beating
52:36
a team like Whew. FSU and Louisville but just
52:42
getting smoked by a team like Syracuse, so it doesn't make
52:48
sense. But I do say this, I do think
52:52
because of Notre, Dame's defense has been its one consistent all
52:57
year. One consistent all year, less
53:00
the FSU game with the new quarterback where they hadn't
53:03
had any tape. They really want, given up a lot
53:06
of points. I think they can cover this.
53:09
I really think I see them like running 31, you know, 31 10:35,
53:16
you know, 14. So I wasn't vote of no
53:18
confidence in Georgia Tech's offense.
53:22
Notre Dame is just to sound of a defense with the not athletes.
53:26
You know, that's that's the issue were George.
53:30
You're essentially saying Notre Dame's going to get to 28 and
53:35
Georgia Tech. I'm like, I'm right there with
53:42
you, buddy. What do you think that?
54:17
Just seems like a low-lying. What is UVA done anywhere?
54:23
Anything to be impressive. And somebody said, well, they
54:25
kept Miami to 19 points that game was in a monsoon and Miami
54:32
continue to drive the ball. Every time they touched it, The
54:38
one thing and let's talk about this a little bit.
54:40
What's been the one thing that's really her tva's defense?
54:43
Most of this season? If you watch any other games,
54:48
what's been different this year that they that they couldn't
54:51
that they were really good at last year that they're not
54:53
really great at this year. That's rough.
54:57
I'm thinking, okay, what, what is Miami not do?
55:04
Well, well, there, there an air raid, there it is.
55:27
Other than one game, you looked pretty good to great.
55:37
I hate both of these things, but I'm taking you and see laying
55:40
the seven I'm with you two. I don't see.
55:45
I just don't see how it's a seven.
55:47
And you can say, well, you know, they did lose to Florida State.
55:52
Well. Okay.
55:54
But What a state least has some athletes on the outside and
56:00
athletic quarterback. I mean UVA We Lay last weekend,
56:05
they burned us because they got that touchdown late.
56:07
I think we were it was they got to 12 and Miami would keep
56:13
getting down there. Like okay here comes the score
56:15
that we're going to get back to over 12 and a half and they did.
56:19
UVA. I don't think UNC has beat both
56:22
programs like it in the state both times.
56:26
I think they will this year lay the sudden points.
56:30
And and just try to figure out why it is that low.
56:34
All right, Brian, let's go out of conference.
56:36
Let's head over to the state of Texas versus Oklahoma State.
56:45
Oklahoma state is only lying, three and a half.
56:48
We got the hook last week, the hook got us.
56:51
They won that game by 3. I believe Iowa, state scored a
56:55
late, something to get it back with them.
56:58
And I'm going to go back and look up that because, you know,
57:00
I was doing stuff during that game will primarily I was over
57:08
my neighbor's yard during that game last week.
57:10
What am I talking about? But let me look here.
57:13
Yes, Iowa. With 49 seconds, left scored a
57:16
touchdown to beat this friend. Be the bad B&B.
57:22
I will state has a good defense, right?
57:24
We agree Matt Campbell pretty good.
57:26
Defense has Texas. Anybody this year.
57:31
No, the they stop Baylor and yeah, Baylor's covid riddled the
57:39
other games that Texas has played.
57:41
They gave up 53 to Oklahoma, they gave up 33 to TCU.
57:45
They gave up 56. To Texas Tech second.
57:53
Wait a second, still scoring on them.
58:00
I think they take the Longhorns to the shed.
58:04
Maybe this could be it for Herman.
58:08
This could be the game that if he loses.
58:10
I don't think they fire them until the end of the year
58:13
because of the money situations, but I think Oklahoma State here.
58:18
We are agreeing a lot here, buddy, and I'm okay with that
58:21
because it's better than me, right?
58:23
Then be interesting for the last couple weeks, but that's right.
58:35
You know, I'm right there with you, that is awful.
58:46
I just don't think Texas has enough on offense to keep up
58:49
with what a few States going to do to that defense.
58:52
So yeah, I'll take Okie State. Lay the three and a half, man.
58:57
All right. I think it's probably closer
58:59
than the experts. Think, some people that are
59:01
talking about this game, but I think it's like a touchdown know
59:06
that I've found you both teams break 30.
59:10
Yeah, I'd say like 35 42 somewhere in that range.
59:18
I'm trying to see some here and give me a second it's a for it's
59:22
a four pm game. So won't be seeing that one or
59:27
maybe we'll be seeing that one alone watching the hope.
59:29
He's alright let's go to SEC country next.
59:31
Brian Auburn LSU LSU Lane three points.
59:39
What do you think? Brian this one's tough and
59:45
neither team has really been great this year relative to kind
59:49
of what people were kind of putting on them to start the
59:52
season. I think we had a lot of
59:55
questions about LSU. I think Auburn's, probably
59:57
underperformed relative to what we kind of thought we were going
59:59
to be especially after week one. I'm going to take actually
1:00:06
Auburn to win this one out, right?
1:00:11
Ryan takes Auburn. Not so fast.
1:00:15
You are out of your mind on this.
1:00:20
Have you not seen how many games that Auburn has won because of
1:00:24
the officiating? I have you have, do you think
1:00:31
that they want a team ranked by the name of LSU in a few weeks
1:00:37
when LSU goes and plays? Alabama, they certainly would
1:00:44
prefer that. Yes, yes, they would.
1:00:46
And I don't care if this is on the planes or not, unless you
1:00:50
scored 52 last week against a better defensive team in South
1:00:54
Carolina, this Is my legal limit.
1:00:56
That right here. I see LSU winning this one, at
1:01:01
least by 17. Wow,
1:01:26
Can score points on LSU. So kind of all bets are off.
1:01:31
It is, but that offense down at Auburn hasn't done too, too
1:01:34
much. So, do you say Auburn wins out,
1:01:37
right? I see, LSU wins.
1:01:39
Big covers. All right, let's get the big
1:01:42
thing country. Next, fine for really, what is
1:01:44
the game of the week Penn State? Ohio State in Happy Valley,
1:01:48
which whether you love Penn State, hate Penn State.
1:01:53
Love Ohio, State hate principal Truth regardless regardless
1:01:58
whether you love them or hate them, this game usually Penn
1:02:02
State would be the whiteout thing which is it cool ass
1:02:06
tradition in again covid this year?
1:02:10
That's the stuff we're missing. That's true.
1:02:12
Are you going to get back to? Because as much as we dislike
1:02:18
both programs, if somebody said we got tickets, you guys can go
1:02:22
to both of these stadiums and we'd look into say, well, what's
1:02:26
Virginia Tech's game? One of they playing does it
1:02:28
over? No, we go in a heartbeat.
1:02:32
So for this one, Bryan, Ohio State Road.
1:02:38
Favorite. Usually, he rode favorite.
1:02:42
You think what? Field goal maybe touchdown.
1:02:46
Yeah, eleven and a half. That is so many points.
1:02:54
That is because of that and how Penn State likely will play this
1:03:00
game. I think Penn State can keep it
1:03:03
close enough. I think Ohio State's going to
1:03:04
win probably by either Polly, I'd say by ten points.
1:03:09
So I'm going to be cutting it close, but I think Penn State
1:03:12
stays with them, you know, last week we saw during that Ohio
1:03:18
State Nebraska game, the pieces. I saw a lot of targeting
1:03:23
penalties on Nebraska getting rid of some of their better
1:03:26
players on the back end. I think that's not cleaned up,
1:03:30
but I just think just kind of game.
1:03:32
They swallow the whistles a little bit more.
1:03:33
Give me Penn State late, eleven and a half.
1:03:37
Okay, okay, I'm right there with you, man.
1:03:47
We have one disagreement. And State plays with a chip this
1:04:09
week after that, last second. Oh, holy shit game of inches
1:04:17
moment that they lost to little last week.
1:04:20
I mean, and there were some coaching issues on there in
1:04:24
terms of how it like managing clock at the end of the game.
1:04:26
And Areas where they're not taking a knee.
1:04:31
Yeah. Yeah.
1:04:33
They're so there's a lot of a lot of problems that that led to
1:04:39
Indiana getting the opportunity, which they took full advantage
1:04:42
of once they did get the opportunity there.
1:04:44
So I think Penn State cleans up those things and I think they
1:04:49
keep it closed. Think it's like somewhere
1:04:52
between a six and eight point victory for OSU, but I don't
1:04:56
think it's it's Meats that 11 to half line.
1:04:59
So give me Penn State. I'll take them 11, a half again,
1:05:03
so our state. All right, we'll look it down.
1:05:08
Alright. Alright.
1:05:10
What you smoking seeing this weekend?
1:05:13
Alright. This weekend I'm doing some
1:05:15
spatchcock chicken. Go on going.
1:05:18
Just going just smoking a spatchcock.
1:05:20
Chicken. Stir It Up.
1:05:22
Probably going to do some some fun size with it.
1:05:24
Maybe some smoked baked beans to go along on the side, but going
1:05:30
to keep it more simple this weekend.
1:05:34
Nothing. Nothing too crazy.
1:05:36
I'd always loved doing spatchcock.
1:05:38
Chicken. The cooks pretty quick, pretty
1:05:41
even get some chicken so good, with some smoked flavor in
1:05:44
there. So any foul usually, usually
1:05:48
takes them over really. Well, always does, man, although
1:05:51
he does anything breaking in the last hour or so that we've been
1:05:55
recording. Oh man, I don't see anything of
1:06:01
no, I think we're good. I did see a couple people
1:06:05
including myself debating, whether mac and cheese belongs
1:06:09
on a, on a plate. And I'm definitely in the hell.
1:06:12
Yes, category on a plate. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:06:17
So Yeah, that's still like, the traditional, like soul food
1:06:23
plate. You got some fried chicken mac
1:06:24
and cheese, collard green cornbread, and someone's like,
1:06:27
take the mac and cheese off the plate.
1:06:29
No way. No, no, no, there's a debate
1:06:38
about The fans Bachelor podcast. Always put the mac and cheese on
1:06:45
the plate. So alright.
1:06:48
