• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Thank you for joining us.
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: I just don't find any value in it. Humans, like,
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: just spewing.
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: Diarrhea out of their mouth.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: With Stu Gotts.

• 0:56
  Speaker 2: as well. Urban Meyer going to join us in about
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: 15 minutes or so. Very much looking forward to having
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: Urban on.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Guys. The committee got together. They released their rankings last night.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: They're going to force us to talk about something that
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: we shouldn't be talking about because all this will be
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: settled on the playing field.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Probably this weekend.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: With that being said, I think the big takeaway for
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: everyone was just how far down in the rankings Notre
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Dame is and how important this game against Miami has
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: become for not Miami, just for Notre Dame. To me,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I think that's the number one takeaway. from the first
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: rankings of the season last night.
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I can't wait to ask Urban about that, just
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: putting him in a position as a head coach where
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: now all you are doing, if you are Marcus Freeman
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: or a Notre Dame player or a Notre Dame assistant, that,
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: oh my God, we're number 11. If we lose, we
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: are probably out. This is a de facto playoff winning
• 1:57
  Speaker 6: in kind of game for us. I just wonder what
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: the The psychology, the mentality, is that something you embrace?
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: Is that something you fear?
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: You're going to be loose.
• 2:05
  Speaker 6: You're going to be tight. Like I think the way
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: I think and treat it, I think it helps them.
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: I think it's going to be, you're going to be
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: able to get a very high level. I think you're
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: going to be more focused. I think you're aware of
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: the stakes. I expect Notre Dame to play their best
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: game of the year on Saturday night.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's important when you look at the
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: playoff rankings, as Stu alluded to, a lot of it
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: is going to play out and teams will naturally get eliminated.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, look at this weekend slate. We have multiple
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: pseudo-elimination games on the docket. But there are things you
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: care for. Notre Dame chief among them. Also, where does
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: the Big Ten stand? Like, is the Big Ten a
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: two-bid league right now when you look at it currently?
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: And granted, it's hard to peer too far into the
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: future because all the variables and the things that can happen, but...
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: there's been a lot of talk of SEC bias. I
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: don't know that I fully agree with that. I mean,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: certainly the Alabama one, like Alabama at five feels a
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: little crazy to me, especially because in college football, we've
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: always said when you lose matters. And yet here, Alabama sits,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: the two wins that were probably them up for were
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: before the two losses. So like, that's kind of something
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: that we have never seen before. That said, if you
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: just look at the big 10 right now, Illinois is fifth.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Like once you get past the top four, like USC
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: is four, and then you get to Illinois and every
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: team already has three losses. So if you're mad about
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: the SEC being overranked going into this week, fair, but
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: there will be a lot of SEC teams that join
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the three loss ranks. We got LSU, Alabama this week,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: and we got Texas, Mizzou this weekend. Like these teams
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: that you think are ranked too high, one of them
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: is going to fall there.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: And Oregon is a team that's ranked down in the
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: college football playoff top 20. And Jeff Schwartz and I
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: kind of joked about this. I wouldn't say joke.
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: He brought it up.
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: He's like, Oregon should probably be ranked. He goes, you
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: look at Oregon. They beat Boise, who's going to be ranked.
• 3:58
  Speaker 6: They beat USC relatively easily, the backup quarterback. And your
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: losses are, you lost a 2-2. a two point game
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: to UCLA was undefeated and you turn the ball over
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: seven times. And yeah, you lost a game on the
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: road against Illinois when you had five wide receivers suspended, like,
• 4:15
  Speaker 6: like they're alive for the big 10 championship.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: It can still get in.
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: I'm glad you said that about the, this sec like bias. I.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: I just don't, who are you ranking? Who should be
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: ahead of them?
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: UCLA's strength of schedule is terrible, and they really don't
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: have a win. BYU beat Notre Dame, I'll give you that,
• 4:36
  Speaker 6: but outside of that, there's no one else. Ohio State's
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: quarterback issues are a problem right now. I just don't
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: know where the Texas Tech got blown out by Cincinnati,
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: and yeah, you came back and you and you won
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: last week against Arizona. But all of these teams, I'm
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: a big believer in power ratings, and I like using
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: them and efficiency numbers in ranking these teams. That is
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: kind of a football judgment.
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: That's kind of.
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: Telling you who these statistics and who the numbers kind
• 5:07
  Speaker 6: of tell you is a better team. They did, I think,
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: default a little bit, maybe too much on strength of
• 5:14
  Speaker 6: schedule here. But like you said, this is all going to,
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: work itself out this week, next week. It is interesting
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: because I tweeted out, and I'm sure people are loving
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: my tweet and going at me.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: I haven't checked the comments.
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: So we're outraged that Alabama and Tennessee, same record. We're
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: outraged that Alabama's ranked eight spots ahead of Tennessee.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: But are we outraged?
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: I haven't heard the faux visceral anger that Ohio State
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: is eight spots higher than than USC, who just beat
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: them by 12 points.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: And by the way, USC's record is technically better. It's weird.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: We only get mad about the SEC, but not when
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: it's a Big Ten team.
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: Is that how it works?
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Yes. Well, you're falling for it. I mean, you are.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: You're getting upset over it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: I'm not a smart guy, Stu.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Neither am I.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: But T-Bob, I'm interested here because the committee has told
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you just how good they think the SEC is.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Five of the top 10 teams come from that conference.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: That does not include LSU, who has a big opportunity
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: this weekend to get a win and probably get themselves
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a win.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Into that playoff next week.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I am wondering here, do you think, are we arriving
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: at a point where a three-loss team is going to
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: get in?
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It seems like we are.
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: Guaranteed.
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: Guaranteed.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: Now, I'm not going to pretend to project which conference
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: is going to come from because, again, there's a 85
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: billion different ways that this could end up shaking out.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: But this is a year, again, once you get to
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: the fifth team in the Big Ten, you're already in
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: three-loss territory. After this weekend, that will be the SEC
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: It's the inverse of last year, interestingly, where 10-2 Vanderbilt
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: gets left out.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: If Vanderbilt continues to do this, you're guaranteed to get in.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: This is the complete opposite. You're going to see at
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: least one. You might see multiple 9-3 teams get in,
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: and it is going to be hellish trying to decide
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: out of like five, three lost teams who needs to
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: be the one or two that gets in. And actually,
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: if you want to talk like conspiracies, psyops, right? Big
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: college football trying to fuck with us. This might all
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: be a 2014 playoff game, you know, just, just a
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: big agenda play here because the more frustrating and, and,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: and nauseating they make the conversation of, we know who's better.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: We're like, you know what, let's get to 24 so
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: we can just settle this on the field. I don't know.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: That was kind of one of my initial reactions to that.
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Some of this first playoff. I'm interested to see what
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Coach Meyer thinks about that. But yeah, three losses getting
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: in for sure.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Here, Stu. They're planting seeds, yes. Planting seeds. I'm totally
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: with you.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: The Notre Dame thing is fascinating to me because they
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: lost to BYU.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: On the road. It was close. There was a bad call.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: Controversial.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, you can make the argument about the bad call.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: So I am wondering here and interested in both your opinions.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: If Miami wins a very close game, last second field
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: goal against Notre Dame, we're going to keep a team
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: that talented in Notre Dame who almost beat BYU on
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the road, almost beat Miami who's undefeated. If that plays out,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: should Notre Dame get in?
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: Yes, I think so.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: I think, again, using a football judgment and watching them
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: play and looking at the numbers and the talent that
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: they have on that team. Again, you look at the
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: computer ratings, which take in a lot of statistical measures.
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: They are number one in Sagarin, number one in FPI,
• 8:45
  Speaker 6: number three in SP +. They have a Top three
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: unit in both offensive and defensive efficiency, which tells you
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: the product of how good they are on the field.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: They are a really, really good team.
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: I do wonder if last night's ranking was a little
• 9:03
  Speaker 6: bit of an FU kind of middle finger to the
• 9:07
  Speaker 6: whole if Notre Dame is ranked in the top 12 deal,
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: they're automatically in. And maybe, maybe just kind of make
• 9:13
  Speaker 6: them sweat a little bit, like subliminally. I don't think
• 9:17
  Speaker 6: that happened, but people are going to throw that out there.
• 9:20
  Speaker 6: And it's fair to, to talk because there are a
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: lot of upset people that they kind of had this
• 9:25
  Speaker 6: deal where they are, if they're in the top 12
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: that they're in, but they're, they're clearly one of the
• 9:31
  Speaker 6: 12 most talented teams in the country. And if they
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: play Miami, the number one team in the country to a, to,
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: to the gun or a last second score, or aren't
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: embarrassed in this game, like, I hate to play like
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: the who are you picking type of game, but who
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: are you picking? Like if Notre Dame were to play,
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: I don't know, Wake Forest or Texas Tech or a
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: bunch of these teams, T-Bob.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Last year, they didn't deserve to get in because as
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: we said. there were a lot of teams with impressive records.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: This year, I believe, even with a loss, that, yeah,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: there's going to be... They win everything else, obviously. There's
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: going to be enough movement around them where I'm with Barrett.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: I don't think they can get left out. That said,
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: it does feel a bit... like this initial ranking was
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: a bit of like finger waving from the committee, sort
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: of chiding them. This ACC scheduling alliance has not paid
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: dividends for Notre Dame. They got to get away from it.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: It hasn't produced enough good games. In fact, all of
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: college football as a whole. Needs to fix scheduling as,
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: as we enter this new era, like somebody's got to
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: get involved. We need the big 10 in the sec
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: to play each other in regular season. We need a
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: guarantee of at least 10 power, four games.
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: We'll get there.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Should we start to talk about some of these games
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: this weekend?
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: Because we do have a lot.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Of great stuff to touch on.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Let's do this.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: Mikey sausage making. Should we get to what we'll talk
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: to coach Meyer?
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: I'll set it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: Okay.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: All right, let's do this.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: We got Urban Meyer coming up. Let's talk to the
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: living legend himself, but all things college football, playoff reaction,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: everything else. Then on the other side, we'll touch on
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: some of these games coming up this weekend as it
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: is one of the greatest slates of our lifetime. We
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: got more college football show. It's you got some bear.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: We are pleased to be joined here by Urban Meyer
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: after the college football playoff committee released its first rankings. Urban,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: let's start here because I have to say it. I'll
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: say what everyone wants to say. You're in your car
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: right now. You look like a badass. I have no
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: idea where you're going. I have no idea what car
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: you're in, but you look like a badass, my friend.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: I'm in a Tesla headed to a golf tournament.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: So life is good.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: All right. How's the golf game?
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Uh, up and down. I should be better.
• 12:11
  Speaker 7: When I, when I was a coach on five timer,
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: I'll get over a hundred this year.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: A hundred rounds. I'm about an eight handicap, so I'm
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: all right.
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: Don't, don't, don't, don't let him, don't let him sell
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: himself short.
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: He and Mark Ingram, when we went to Illinois last
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: year and went to the Illinois golf club, those two, uh, they,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: they can, they can, they can stripe the ball.
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: They, they, they, They got some game.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: What made you think I was doubting Urban's game? I
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: wasn't doubting Urban's game.
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: I'm more talking about him. He's kind of downplaying a
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: little bit.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: He's playing court. Coach, what did you make of the
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: first college football committee's rankings last night?
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: I'm certain you were watching.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: What were your takeaways from something that we really don't
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: need to respond to, but we feel the need to
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: when you consider that all these teams are going to
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: play each other this weekend.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: But what were your thoughts here? uh, after the committee's
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: first release?
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: Oh, it's a flawed system. You know, the committee is
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: really an impossible task. You know, you got to track
• 13:17
  Speaker 7: the schedule. You got this conference versus conference. You got,
• 13:20
  Speaker 7: how do you evaluate a quality loss, which I I'm,
• 13:23
  Speaker 7: I'm a big evaluator of that. Uh, I can't stand
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: the soft schedules. You know, I just can't stand that.
• 13:29
  Speaker 7: And I think it's bad for the game. And do
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: you penalize? It seems like they did, but they did it. So, uh,
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: um i there's a couple you scratch your head you
• 13:38
  Speaker 7: know one right off the top is why is indiana
• 13:40
  Speaker 7: four and ucla eight you know i don't i what's
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: the reasoning there is you can say indiana's had better
• 13:49
  Speaker 7: wins i don't know if i agree with that you
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: know you watch them on film we've seen them live
• 13:54
  Speaker 7: three times i think they're and they're the defending i
• 13:57
  Speaker 7: guess because they're the defending national champ so i there's
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: some head scratches but it's going to as you all said,
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: this is a huge weekend. I mean, this is going
• 14:05
  Speaker 7: to be, the whole thing they just did is going
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: to be upside down next week.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Well, and, and coach, you mentioned something that you hate
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: something that I hate, and I have hated this about the, the,
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: the 12 team committee for even for the, for a
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: while now is, is people sitting there and just telling
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: us like, we know this team is better. We know
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: this team will win. And it feels like every Saturday
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: when we watch people play actual football on the field,
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: it's constantly proving that the opposite is true, that we
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: never know what's going to happen. So, like, my reaction
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: last night is, like, bring on the 2014 playoff. Sure,
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: there will be arguments about seeding and buys, but ultimately, like,
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I want it settled on the field. Do you feel
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: like the 2014 playoff helps address some of the issues
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: that people have currently with what's going on?
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: I was adamant about absolutely against the 2014 playoff. Number
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: one is because it just dilutes the product. But with
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: the parity that's in this, I never envisioned that NIL
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: transfer portal would bring parity across this great sport.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: That's number one.
• 15:16
  Speaker 7: Number two is when you start to eliminate, and I
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: made this comment on TV a bunch, is those who
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: say those games aren't important, played in it, averaged in it.
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: Because that's, to me, an SEC championship back in the
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: day was better than a national championship. Because you would
• 15:34
  Speaker 7: win it. And even the Big Ten championship in the
• 15:37
  Speaker 7: last decade has become, I mean, what an event. And
• 15:41
  Speaker 7: I always go from a player perspective and a coach perspective. However,
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: I can see now that with this parity, I can
• 15:50
  Speaker 7: see a 2014 playoff being pretty intriguing.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: For the viewer. Because you taught me the Gators.
• 15:56
  Speaker 7: I think the Gators are, you know, there's a couple
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: 20-some ranked team that can beat any one of those
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: teams on the schedule. And it could turn into a
• 16:05
  Speaker 7: March Madness type event where, you know, the Florida Gators
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: can go beat Texas Ole Miss and Texas Ole Miss.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: And who's their other big win?
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Mizzou? Did they beat out or did Mizzou get them?
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: No, Mizzou got them.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Mizzou got them.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: It's crazy.
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: Everybody's winning and losing all over the place.
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So anybody, my point is saying is anybody can
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: beat anybody, right?
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: And that's true.
• 16:31
  Speaker 6: I want you to put yourself in Marcus Freeman's shoes
• 16:33
  Speaker 6: this week. You can, two sides of the coin, people
• 16:38
  Speaker 6: out there, Notre Dame ranked 11th. You view it as
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: a must win. Essentially, people are saying they have to
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: beat Miami to get into the playoff. If they lose,
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: they're going to be out. Is that a good thing
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: or a bad thing for preparation teams? For Marcus Freeman
• 16:53
  Speaker 6: and Notre Dame this week, seemingly with all the pressure
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: on the world, is this kind of being a must
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: absolute have to win or else you're going to be
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: on the outside looking in?
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: You know, as I can speak for Marcus, I know
• 17:05
  Speaker 7: him very well. He gives two shits about that. However,
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: if I was his assistant or if I had a guy,
• 17:11
  Speaker 7: a GM, I would say make sure you address this
• 17:14
  Speaker 7: with our team because it's out there. And the players
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: are staring at their phone nonstop. So your most important
• 17:20
  Speaker 7: job is to get them perform at a high level Saturday.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: Okay, how do you do that? And he only knows
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: our team.
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: If that was a mature team and I would, you know,
• 17:31
  Speaker 7: a mature team, I would say, we, you know, we're
• 17:34
  Speaker 7: done if we don't win this thing. And you would
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: have the leaders take over. If that's an immature team,
• 17:39
  Speaker 7: I'd say, don't, you know, I would go near that
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: because you're going to, they're going to be nervous enough.
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: They're going to be tight enough without that extra pressure.
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: So it depends on the team. But most coaches, again,
• 17:52
  Speaker 7: who cares? But the bottom line is if you can
• 17:56
  Speaker 7: use that to motivate your team, do it. But also
• 17:58
  Speaker 7: don't do it if you have a young team. Because
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: imagine Notre Dame not making a playoff with that team
• 18:03
  Speaker 7: they have.
• 18:04
  Speaker 5: Amazing.
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: That quarterback they have.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: They're done.
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: If they don't win this one, they'll lose. They're out.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: Speaking of out, Coach, have we thrown the baby out
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: with the bathwater when it comes to Ohio State?
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: See, Ohio State's got three or four at home. Joel
• 18:21
  Speaker 7: Klatt and I got in a little bit of an
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: argument on the call the other day. I thought the quarterback,
• 18:24
  Speaker 7: first start, true freshman. I imagine he's 18, 19 years old.
• 18:28
  Speaker 7: I've coached a lot of true freshmen. I thought he
• 18:30
  Speaker 7: performed admirably. I thought he did not lose that game.
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: The players around him lost that game. I mentioned 15 penalties.
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: There's only 11, but four in the red zone. They
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: had dropped passes. Normally, Ohio State kids don't drop balls.
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: And their offensive line got punched right in the face. So,
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: They're good enough. I always go and bears hear me
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: say this. At this point, I think we all need
• 18:57
  Speaker 7: to look at the best version of who's out there.
• 18:59
  Speaker 7: Ohio State, first half against Texas, incredible. But up until then,
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: since then, it's been very mediocre. You can say LSU, Georgia,
• 19:09
  Speaker 7: and Alabama, to me, are the best teams in the
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: country when they're right. Their best version of themselves are
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: better than everyone else. But you also see the other
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: side of that. And sometimes it's awful. So to answer
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: your question, Ohio State's got three or four at home.
• 19:25
  Speaker 7: Their quarterback played good enough to win that game. They
• 19:28
  Speaker 7: need to elevate, and I'm sure Coach Day is diving
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: into that team right now saying that enough with the
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: stupid-ass penalties. They're good enough to win.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: Coach, what would you make of the disparity in terms
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: of Indiana and Ohio State when you consider, I know
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Ohio State's quarterback is out, when you consider Ohio State
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: beat Indiana at Indiana?
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: Yeah, the Indiana one, and I stay respectfully because I
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: think they're, you know, it's a great story of our lifetime.
• 19:53
  Speaker 7: They're not the number four team in the country. I
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: really don't, I don't see that. I see them as
• 19:58
  Speaker 7: a defending national champ that, and I've also been on
• 20:02
  Speaker 7: teams like that.
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: I mean, they've won two, three games they shouldn't have won.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 20:07
  Speaker 7: We were at the Nebraska game and that game was...
• 20:09
  Speaker 7: game set match until the two passes to Marsh. They
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: did not play well at all. Their quarterback, he must
• 20:16
  Speaker 7: be banged up because he's really struggling. Obviously, they brought
• 20:19
  Speaker 7: in their backup. So, yeah, that's the one I– that
• 20:22
  Speaker 7: and UCLA. If you watch UCLA on film, I don't know.
• 20:26
  Speaker 7: Who's a better team?
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: I love UCLA, the way they run the football.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: Coach, whenever we do these rankings, it really is– Always
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: in college football, it's always SEC versus Big Ten. Who's
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: the big dog? You're in a rare spot.
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: Here, Coach.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: I mean, you kicked ass in both. You got natties
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: in both. You've won both. As we're all fighting it
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: out with our pitchforks, are you like a father just
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: watching your kids get after one another? How do you
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: interpret the Uber conference rivalry?
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: I love that conversation because for 10 years or longer,
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: Since 06. And I went from Florida, the meat grinder
• 21:11
  Speaker 7: of the SEC, to actually a conference that was just
• 21:13
  Speaker 7: mediocre at best. In 2012, the Big Ten wasn't even
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: the same ballpark as the SEC.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: But that changed.
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: And to give a lot of teams credit, they went
• 21:24
  Speaker 7: and got a couple of really good teams programs from
• 21:27
  Speaker 7: the West Coast. The investment in the stadiums is– I
• 21:32
  Speaker 7: don't think people talk about this enough. The stadiums used
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: to be below average. You go on those games. You know,
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: Shelly and I, my wife, we used to go on to,
• 21:41
  Speaker 7: you know, Mississippi State is like a down play. That's
• 21:44
  Speaker 7: an awful place to play. Then you got Alabama, Auburn, LSU,
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: and you can go down the row. Then in the
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: Big Ten, what places were hard to go play? Penn State,
• 21:55
  Speaker 7: Wisconsin a little bit.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Iowa's hard. But then that was that.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: But you have to give credit where credit's due, and
• 22:01
  Speaker 7: the investment in the program's They caught and they passed
• 22:05
  Speaker 7: the SEC at the top of the conference, but also
• 22:10
  Speaker 7: last year, in my mind, because they beat in the
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: playoffs and the road games.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: This year, I don't think it's close.
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: I think this year the SEC is a much better
• 22:21
  Speaker 7: conference than the Big Ten on videotape. When you watch
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: it as a professional who's done it forever, there's a
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: whole different level right now in the SEC.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: T-Bob forgot your stop prior to Florida.
• 22:33
  Speaker 6: In Salt Lake with Utah, obviously the Holy.
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: War, a massive game out there.
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: Both teams ranked in the top 10 for the first
• 22:41
  Speaker 6: time ever. Morgan Scali doing an unbelievable job. That offense
• 22:44
  Speaker 6: is so dynamic. Do you think win or lose, both
• 22:50
  Speaker 6: of these teams are playoff teams, or does the game
• 22:54
  Speaker 6: here ultimately matter, you think, more to.
• 22:56
  Speaker 5: One of them?
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: I think so.
• 22:58
  Speaker 7: Utah's got a little grace period if they lose. I
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: think if BYU loses, there's on the outside looking in.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: Bear, you've been there.
• 23:06
  Speaker 7: I don't know if the rest of your crew have
• 23:08
  Speaker 7: T-Bob been on there.
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: I have not, no. This is an incredible place to
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: go watch a game.
• 23:13
  Speaker 7: I would put it right up there with any place
• 23:15
  Speaker 7: I've ever– to this game, there's only– I think there's 60,000, 58,000.
• 23:19
  Speaker 7: It's more intimidating than 100,000. That crowd is going to
• 23:25
  Speaker 7: be out of their damn minds. And Morgan Scali, my
• 23:28
  Speaker 7: former player, I'm so proud of that guy. And Kalani Sataki.
• 23:32
  Speaker 7: These are two excellent football teams, excellent coaches in an environment.
• 23:36
  Speaker 7: This is so good for college football. I can't wait
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: to watch it.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Urban, just getting off the actual games for a second,
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I am wondering, do you think Florida State in 2026,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: where Indiana is the reigning national champion, you called it
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: the story of our lifetime. I'm not certain you're wrong,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: by the way. But does Florida State still carry the
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: same cachet?
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: As it once did?
• 23:58
  Speaker 7: No. Right now, it all changed, but I saw their
• 24:04
  Speaker 7: president get up and sneak after they fired my friend.
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: I love Mike Norvell. He's become a good friend over
• 24:10
  Speaker 7: the years. But, I mean, it was time, and Mike
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: would be the first one to say, you know, those
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: kind of places are the win. But if you listen
• 24:19
  Speaker 7: to the president, his whole thing was, I'm not sure
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: how I'm going to handle the fiscal responsibility that's associated
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: with major college athlete he was talking about how does
• 24:29
  Speaker 7: he fund right women's sports how i'm watching oh my
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: god you know what you know if that's if that's
• 24:36
  Speaker 7: out there they'll have a very hard time getting a
• 24:39
  Speaker 7: coach to go there i mean i'm talking about a
• 24:42
  Speaker 7: right i'm wondering bear if they go to the signetti
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: you know uh signetti and a chesney route.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: That's what i was gonna say yeah Like, you look at, like,
• 24:54
  Speaker 6: Jason Eck is a guy who has made chicken salad
• 24:57
  Speaker 6: out of chicken shit at a bunch of places, a
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: program builder with very few resources. He's got New Mexico
• 25:03
  Speaker 6: ranked for the first time ever. Like, if they were
• 25:05
  Speaker 6: to hire him, that would be a really, really good hire.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: In that state, you live there. You've coached against him.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: I went to Miami. I know the gravitas around that program. Like,
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: I don't know if they'd be happy with that.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Hire, though.
• 25:19
  Speaker 7: Yeah. I, you know, this is how old we are bears.
• 25:22
  Speaker 7: I'm I coached against Bobby Bowden five times. I mean, that,
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: that was awful to go in there and that chant.
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: And then sometimes I see pictures of 5,000 people in
• 25:34
  Speaker 7: the stadium.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: I can't believe we're here, but.
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: I've heard for a good decade now that Florida state
• 25:40
  Speaker 7: has got really, really financial bootstraps on them. They, they
• 25:44
  Speaker 7: got some issues right there and that would scare the
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: hell out of any coach. Because at the end of
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: the day, can you get players at the end of
• 25:51
  Speaker 7: the day and hire a good staff? And it's never
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: been more important now with the money that's flowing.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, to your point, maybe you go like
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: a dicker. I mean, Wake Forest doing more with less
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: than anybody right now.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: But we'll have to wait and see. Excellent coach, yeah.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Coach Meyer, I got to give you credit because I
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: was lucky enough to get to play your Florida coach
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: teams a few times. You want to talk about places
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: to play.
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: The Swamp.
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: When Urban Meyer was the Florida head coach, was the
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: single most intimidating, wild environment I've ever been in my
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: entire life. It is a stadium, the away stadium that
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: I think about the most. And you are a legend
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: of the game. And do you ever stop? Because maybe
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: I'm wrong here. And you can tell me if I'm wrong.
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: But when I look and I see what modern offensive
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: football is and how much stuff is predicated off of
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: the zone read, right? Like I've always viewed you as
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: kind of the man who brought a lot of that
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: offensive philosophy to the fore. Do you ever look and
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: just be like, wow, man, look at, you know, look
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: at some of the impact that we had on this
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: game as a whole, as a lot of your theories
• 26:57
  Speaker 3: have sort of permeated throughout every level of football, even
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: up to the NFL, right? Like we see these things
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: that used to be only on Saturday. Now they're happening
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: on Sunday.
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: Dan Mullen was my graduate assistant at Notre Dame. We
• 27:11
  Speaker 7: were kind of in I-formation, and then we went and
• 27:14
  Speaker 7: visited Scott Linehan at Louisville, and that was one of
• 27:18
  Speaker 7: the game changers. And he looked at us one day,
• 27:20
  Speaker 7: and I said, how do you handle the safety blitz?
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: Because that was a problem. In the I-formation, how do
• 27:25
  Speaker 7: you handle safety blitzes? Because they're right there. He looked
• 27:28
  Speaker 7: at me and says, Coach, I haven't seen a safety
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: blitz in seven years. And I was like, me and
• 27:32
  Speaker 7: Dan looked at each.
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: Other like, what? We sat there in Louisville.
• 27:36
  Speaker 7: And we had to go buy like underwear and toothpaste
• 27:41
  Speaker 7: because we were going to be there for the day.
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: We stayed for three days. What? We wouldn't leave. We
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: just kept studying and studying.
• 27:50
  Speaker 7: And then I get hired at Bowling Green and we
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: took this idea and it was, that was one of
• 27:56
  Speaker 7: the coolest moments of my life. And then I, you know,
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: we hired a great staff, but Dan is a big
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: piece of that. And then Dan became my, Quarterback coach
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: of Bowling Green, we went to Utah and got this
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: Alex Smith kid, and that's when it really exploded. We
• 28:09
  Speaker 7: were doing stuff never had been done before.
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: Omar Jacobs at Bowling Green, too? Was it that offense
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: back in the day, or was that after?
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: He took over after I left. Josh Harris was my guy.
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: And he was a Heisman candidate. He was a former
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: running back, and we made him a quarterback. And Dan
• 28:24
  Speaker 7: Mullen is, of course, the respect I have for that guy.
• 28:28
  Speaker 7: He made Josh Harris a draft pick of the Steelers.
• 28:31
  Speaker 7: And a Heisman candidate at Bowling Green.
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: We were up to 16th in the country at one point.
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: Bowling Green.
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: And I can remember going to College Game Day for
• 28:40
  Speaker 6: a Bowling Green-Northern Illinois game in 2006, I believe it was.
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: Unbelievable weather. It was a great crowd there. Going to
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: give you some love here. Wilbur Marshall, Emmett Smith, Steve Spurrier,
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: Tim Tebow, Danny Werfel, Jack Youngblood, Urban Meyer, Florida. Ring
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: of Honor, going down there this weekend to be honored
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: and all of the honors and recognition and kudos that
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: they're going to give you. You absolutely deserve, because I
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: think there's a little bit of a misconception, I think,
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: about Florida. If you talk about Florida State, we'll have
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: they won outside of that. You and Spurrier, that's when
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: Florida won. And you really took that program over from
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: a little bit of a down period to One national championship.
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: So congratulations to you. Enjoy your weekend there. And you
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: deserve all of it.
• 29:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, one of the coolest things there is my my
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: kids grew up there and they're all coming back. And
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: then I find out my daughter's bringing my two grandsons.
• 29:45
  Speaker 7: I get a little emotional thinking about it because she
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: said she wants, she wants my grandsons and they're nine
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: and six to witness that.
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: And I was like, wow, you know, that means the
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: world to me.
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: Special.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Coach, we appreciate the time.
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: We know you have to run. On the way out here,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: big noon kickoff. You guys go out for dinner. How
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: often does Bear try to pay for that dinner?
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: I mean....
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: About as often as I try to pay. I joke around.
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: I mean, the dinners that Fox put on Bear, I mean,
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: that's thousands of dollars. I always joke around, and I say,
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: let me help with that, and I hand him a 20.
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: Let me help with that. But, Bill, I'll tell you what.
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: I'll tell you what, to sit next to Bear and
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: watch him go after it, that's an impressive guy at
• 30:32
  Speaker 7: the dinner table.
• 30:35
  Speaker 5: I know how to order.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: It's worth your $ 20. Yes, it's worth the price of admission. Urban,
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: we appreciate it. Congratulations.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Enjoy the weekend with friends and family. It's a big honor,
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: and we're happy for you, and we appreciate the time, man,
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: and have a good round today.
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: Thanks, guys. Love you, Bear. See you soon.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: Appreciate you.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Welcome back to the College Football Show with Stu Godson. Fair, fair,
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: great job setting up Coach Meyer there. Absolute living legend.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Always love getting his insight, a man who dominated all
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: of college football. Let's look at some of the games
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: this weekend. And we're going to, this is going to
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: be a whistle-stop tour, guys. So buckle up.
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: Two-minute drill.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Because there's a lot to get to. I'm going to
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: go time slot by time slot here. Let's start at
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: 11 a.m. where you're going to be choosing between the
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: Holy War, the Bad Mormons versus the Good Mormons, and Texas-Mizzou.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: A couple of two-loss SEC teams, a little pseudo-elimination game. Bear,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: Holy War, do you like Utah to take advantage here
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: at home at Rice-Eccles?
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: I wish I had a better idea right now of
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: whether L.J. Martin was going to be playing for BYU.
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: I think they need him back. to help diversify that
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: offense just a little bit, because outside of Bear and
• 32:06
  Speaker 6: Glasgow right now, I really don't know what else they have.
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: Utah impressed the hell out of me last week, man.
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: They could have been a total dead look-ahead spot. They
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: kicked the shit out of Cincinnati, made all the stakes
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: in this game. They got one foot in the door
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: of the Big 12 championship game. The stuff that they
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: do on offense, kind of two quarterbacks in the field,
• 32:27
  Speaker 6: and just the way they run that, I.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: This Utah team, I think, is a little bit better
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: than maybe some of their power rating type things may
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: signify that they are.
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: I think Utah gets a win here.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: Guys, if BYU loses this game, are they done? Is
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: that it? Is BYU out of the playoff?
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: No.
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: No, why would they be? We'll have the same conversation.
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: Even more so now, if Notre Dame were to lose
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: to Miami and you potentially have a 10-2 BYU and
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: a 10-2 Notre Dame, that's going to be a conversation
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: to you, Bob.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: Isn't it?
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it wouldn't be a conversation. BYU would
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: get in, right? Because what happened last year, it would
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: be the Notre Dame nightmare, 2.0. Only this time, it
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be the convicts sitting in packing, it'd be the Well,
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: not Catholics, Mormons.
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: Damn, I was on a roll.
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: I was so close.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: And I tripped up at the finish line. Sneaky great
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: quarterback matchup here. Texas, Mizzou, Arch Manning, all the headlines
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: in the world, Austin Simmons. has had a very good year.
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Ahmad Hardy is back, and Texas is injured to all hell.
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: This is a terrible spot for Texas. Cam Coleman's banked up.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Wingo's banked up. They're starting left tackle. That's going to
• 33:44
  Speaker 3: be a first-round pick. It's out for the entire year.
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: I think Hollywood, is Hollywood out? Yes. Anyway, the point is, yes,
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: this is a bad spot for Texas.
• 33:58
  Speaker 1: Bear out.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: Will Drinkwits and company take advantage and handle Longhorns' third loss?
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: I think they will. I think they will.
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: And then that will make a true win-in-in, do-or-die game
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: next week for them in Baton Rouge against LSU. I
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: think Texas needs a split game. of the next two
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: couple of games to secure a playoff berth. If they're
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: 9-3 and they got the win over a real Ohio
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: State team and they got a win over either Missouri
• 34:26
  Speaker 6: or LSU, I think they're going to be, they got
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: the win over Tennessee, I think they're going to be okay.
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: That Missouri offense is really good. I know somehow, someway,
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: Ole Miss was able to to slow them down and
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: stop them. I wonder if the Texas front can do
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: the same thing that Echols and those guys did, but
• 34:46
  Speaker 6: this is kind of a, the Florida game was a
• 34:49
  Speaker 6: big game for Coach Drink and Mizzou. This is an
• 34:52
  Speaker 6: even bigger game. I think they get up. I think
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: they win this game.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I have no idea what to make of this game.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: I just know I want Texas in the playoff. Do
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: you guys agree? I like big brands. I like them
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs. I don't want smaller brands getting in
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: the way of who wins a national championship.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: I want Texas.
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: I want Arch Manning in the playoffs for two reasons. One,
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: can they make a run? And two, if they don't,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: we can all start calling Sark and RJ choker.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, I, I, I agree. I got to pinch
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: my nose and agree with you, unfortunately, Stu, because this
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: does kind of sit at odds with a lot of
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: what I've championed through the years, but the narratives are
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: what make the sport. A lot of times the narratives
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: are too juicy to ignore there. And, and they are
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: capable of making a run. Texas at full strength can
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: get up for big games. Like it's not the big
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: games against the top 10 teams where generally they have
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: struggled and fallen short. It's been the more surprise trappy
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: spots where they kind of unexpectedly let one go. So
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: they're very capable of making a run, especially if Colin
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: Simmons comes back and he's healthy. And maybe he has
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: like a Reuben Bain type performance in a run through
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: the playoffs. So, yeah, I'm kind of with you there.
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: You know who definitely wants Texas in the playoff is ESPN.
• 36:04
  Speaker 6: That's for sure. They want that rating. They want that
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: big national brand, too.
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: No, it's cool.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: At least we don't have a system then where, like,
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: they'd have any control over that.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: That'd be crazy. They don't.
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: They don't.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: They are not in the room.
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: I get so.
• 36:19
  Speaker 6: Mad when people at Fox who I now work with, like,
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: think that ESPN controls the teams that get in the playoff.
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: They They have absolutely zero. You think they were real?
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: They control it all right. You've got Clemson and Cincinnati
• 36:34
  Speaker 6: and Alabama, these small.
• 36:35
  Speaker 5: Little TV markets.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: They want Notre Dame, Texas, USC, Ohio State.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: That's who they want, the big brands and the big markets,
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: just like you, Stu.
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: Alabama at five. All right, let's head to 2.30. Let's
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: head to 2.30 then. Oregon, Ohio State.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: I love how you say 2.30 because it's Midwestern time,
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: but it's 3.30 Eastern time, yes.
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: No, no, let's be clear about this, Stu. It's not
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: Midwestern time.
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: This is Louisiana time.
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: It's Central time. It's God's time. Central time is objectively
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: the best time zone for a fan, okay?
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: I apologize.
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: Because you never run into games going, like, after midnight
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: or whatever, like you run into the East Coast. No, like...
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: in a.m. kickoff bullshit like out there on the west
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: coast central is God's God's time okay yes so the
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: afternoon slate yes we have Oregon Ohio State here mmm
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: I this would have been an easy Ohio State pick
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: for me were it not for Ryola and Oregon showing
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: some life last week I still think Ohio State has
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: something left to say this year again I think we've
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: thrown them out a little too soon I think Ohio
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: State's gonna win this game.
• 37:44
  Speaker 6: I agree I, I, the Oregon defensively, they played a
• 37:47
  Speaker 6: lot better on offensively. They woke up last week in
• 37:51
  Speaker 6: the second half against Northwestern. I think I read Davidson
• 37:54
  Speaker 6: is out, which was a big deal because he finally
• 37:56
  Speaker 6: started to run the ball a little bit better. I
• 37:59
  Speaker 6: think at home, uh, Fahey will be a little bit
• 38:02
  Speaker 6: more comfortable. Maybe Arthur Smith and Ryan day will be
• 38:05
  Speaker 6: willing to take a few more chances. and get Jeremiah
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: Smith and get him some shots down the field, which
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: they really.
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: Didn't do against USC. Hopefully good weather, that should help
• 38:15
  Speaker 5: as well. I'm with you.
• 38:17
  Speaker 6: I was a little surprised this number was seven, seven
• 38:20
  Speaker 6: and a half, which leads me to believe that the
• 38:23
  Speaker 6: odds makers are a little comfortable taking the Oregon money.
• 38:26
  Speaker 6: Because I think a lot of people feel the same way.
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: Like initial reaction is Ohio State, done.
• 38:32
  Speaker 5: Big favorite quarterback, no chance. I think you'll see.
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: A much different Ohio State team this week.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Stu, Stu, Stu. Look at this. Here we go. LSU, Alabama.
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: Big opportunity for you too, Bob. Big opportunity for LSU.
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: My Fighting Tigers, once again, chosen to be the people's hero. Here,
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: Alabama is being propped up by big football. Sitting there
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: at five, despite having lost two games recently. Their wins,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: barely a memory, a shadow of the past. When college
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: football needs a good guy who's going to stand up
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: for everything that is right in this sport, when college
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: football needs a guy who is willing to stand against
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: the tide and say no more, we.
• 39:22
  Speaker 5: All know what that means.
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: Turn on the Lane Kiffin signal, okay? We'll do it, guys.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: LSU will take care of business this week. We will
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: make sure that Big Bad Alabama is exposed as the
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: frauds that they are. LSU a death bell.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Yes, and if Alabama loses, they'll drop to number five.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I mean....
• 39:43
  Speaker 5: Maybe six. Maybe they'll move down to six. Just one spot. I.
• 39:50
  Speaker 6: I just, I don't know. This game has me really confused.
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: Like I don't want to offend T-Bob and pick and
• 39:55
  Speaker 6: pick Alabama. I don't want him getting mad at me.
• 39:57
  Speaker 6: Cause it's, it's clearly he gets, uh.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: I'll treat you like you treat those Fox Friday night dinners, bear.
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: I'll eat your ass up.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Watch out.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: Appetizer is galore. Beautiful. Eileen LSU.
• 40:11
  Speaker 6: I think their defense will give, uh, Alabama the similar
• 40:15
  Speaker 6: problems that they had. I think it's a really good
• 40:17
  Speaker 6: defense of Tennessee. Uh, Keelan Russell on the road. Yeah,
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: they were great in the second half against Kentucky. A
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: little bit of a different spot here. Couldn't get it
• 40:25
  Speaker 6: done against the Vols. These are the games why Lane
• 40:29
  Speaker 6: Kiffin left Ole Miss to go to LSU. This is
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: why LSU brought him there. I don't want to say
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: it's a must-win for LSU, but it's a near must-win.
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: They're getting healthier. Is Witt coming back this week, or
• 40:44
  Speaker 6: is he still a week or two away?
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: Uh, I will have to double check. I think he's
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: still a week.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: He's a little, I think he's like a week or
• 40:51
  Speaker 6: so away, but they're like, that's why LSU in terms
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: of a long play is, I think a smart play.
• 40:58
  Speaker 6: I still think without him, I think that defense, if
• 41:01
  Speaker 6: you look at what nationally, they're like second in the
• 41:04
  Speaker 6: country in terms of like defensive efficiency. And I think
• 41:07
  Speaker 6: that they, uh, I think they'll get the job done.
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: Stu.
• 41:12
  Speaker 5: Lane Kiffin, good.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Guy, right? Great guy. I love him. He's the best.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Listen, he has to win this game, LSU, because they
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: have Texas coming up after this. The schedule is very
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: difficult the rest of the way for LSU. I would
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: say all of these games for LSU. or must-win games,
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: but they do have an opportunity here, and Lane Kiffin
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: has an opportunity to justify and show everyone this is
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: why I went to LSU. I'm a great coach, and
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: I can take this team in my first season, even
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: with two losses, get past Alabama, get past Texas the
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: next week.
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's Tennessee after that.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: What an opportunity for LSU and Lane Kiffin to go
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: on a run here and go into the playoffs as
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: one of the hottest teams in college football.
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and I mean, you win two of those three,
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: maybe they're one of the three lost teams. Totally, absolutely
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: would be. Help me out here, Bear. Kentucky, Tennessee. Kentucky,
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: top ten in the country. They've been great this year. Alabama,
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: the only blemish. Going to Knoxville, the rare mid-kickoff here, right?
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: It's going to be in between a lot of the games,
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: 6-15 Eastern time here. Vegas, not liking Will Stein and
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: the Cats here.
• 42:21
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they're kind of living on borrowed time.
• 42:24
  Speaker 5: Don't you?
• 42:26
  Speaker 6: I mean, you got the two 35-34 two-point conversion wins.
• 42:31
  Speaker 6: Those plays don't go their way.
• 42:33
  Speaker 5: They're losses. Like, I don't know.
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: I think that Tennessee defense is really good. I think, obviously,
• 42:40
  Speaker 6: we talk about Notre Dame, like, being slighted and feeling
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: upset about where they're ranked. Tennessee, where they're ranked compared
• 42:46
  Speaker 6: to Alabama, I'm sure that's going to be a– a
• 42:49
  Speaker 6: talking point within that program, and Josh Heifel, I'm sure,
• 42:52
  Speaker 6: will be wound up. I'm not sure how many points
• 42:55
  Speaker 6: Kentucky is going to be able to go on the
• 42:56
  Speaker 6: road here. If you look at Kentucky in terms of
• 43:00
  Speaker 6: the football-type numbers, where they are in terms of efficiencies,
• 43:04
  Speaker 6: I think they're outside the top 20, both offense and defense.
• 43:07
  Speaker 6: Their computer power ratings are not in line with what
• 43:11
  Speaker 6: their college football player ranking is. It's been a great story.
• 43:15
  Speaker 6: The fact that Kentucky is ranked sixth in the first
• 43:17
  Speaker 6: college football playoff ranking, and we're talking about them as
• 43:19
  Speaker 6: a playoff team, is great for the long-term health of
• 43:22
  Speaker 6: Wolfstein and that program. I think this might be a
• 43:25
  Speaker 6: little too much too soon.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Because Kentucky is Kentucky and they're new to the game, right?
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: Do they have the shortest leash of the SEC teams?
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: Meaning they're not getting in with three losses, right? There's
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: no way, Kentucky.
• 43:36
  Speaker 7: No.
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: But they can get in with.
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: A lot of wins.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: I don't think they would have the wins of the
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: others if they were to get in, if they had
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: three losses.
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: But if it's two losses, Kentucky still has a chance
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: to get in, obviously, right?
• 43:46
  Speaker 5: Yes, I agree with that. So, yes.
• 43:47
  Speaker 6: Especially with the win over LSU. I talk about their
• 43:51
  Speaker 6: wins in their resume like it's shit. I mean, South
• 43:54
  Speaker 6: Carolina's age.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Well, you're right.
• 43:56
  Speaker 5: South Carolina, LSU, both ranked.
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah.
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: So, so Vegas not buying the Kentucky Hypel. That's Josh
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: Hypel joke. All right.
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: Fine.
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Let's get to the night slate here. We'll get to
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: the big one a minute. First, real quick here, Georgia
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss revenge game for Georgia here. You look what
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: Trinidad Chambliss did to them last year in that playoff. Hell,
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: if you look at Trinidad Chambliss, both games, they played
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: Georgia last year. Like I know they lost in Athens, but,
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: He was absolutely perfect through three quarters. They only got
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: stopped twice. It was just the only gap that Georgia
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: needed to put them away. This game is going to
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: be in Oxford, which makes things a bit more interesting.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: That said, I think this is a more explosive Georgia team.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: I think this is going to be a back-and-forth affair,
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: but I think this Georgia team is actually going to
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: go into Oxford and handle business against the Rebels. No
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: Kiwan Lacy is huge for me. Hard for me to
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: overlook that. It is.
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: I'm with you. I like the dogs here.
• 44:53
  Speaker 6: I think they're better this year, I think, at linebacker,
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: which I think will help take away some of the
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: passes and some of the danger of Trinidad Shambles, even
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: though that guy getting points scares the absolute living daylights
• 45:06
  Speaker 6: out of me. But I do think Georgia will be
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: able to control a little bit more of that line
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: of scrimmage like some other teams haven't been able to
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: do against Ole Miss. I think they go into Oxford,
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: and I would lay the three and a half.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: Here as well.
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: And here we go, Bear. Your Miami Hurricanes.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Here it is, baby.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Number one. Y'all been flirting. Y'all been flirting with death.
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: You said not today. Will it be Saturday night, though, Bear?
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: The game does worry me. I mean, their defense has
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: to be a hell of a lot better than what
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: it's been. Does Notre Dame have the threats at tight end?
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: and wide receiver that North Carolina does, did. Do they
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: have the scheme to do the same thing?
• 45:53
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: I am not doubting and questioning whether Miami is going
• 45:58
  Speaker 6: to show up here and be prepared for a big game.
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: I just think the stakes of the game for Notre Dame.
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: I hate falling on the crutch of like, oh, it's
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: a must win. So they're good.
• 46:07
  Speaker 6: They're going to win. But, but, but I do think
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: Notre Dame comes out and plays their best game of
• 46:11
  Speaker 6: the year. I would absolutely take Miami plus the five
• 46:14
  Speaker 6: and a half or six points. Cause I do think
• 46:16
  Speaker 6: it will be a close game, but, but I do,
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: but I do think in the end, I do think
• 46:22
  Speaker 6: Notre Dame gets a close win. And then we, we
• 46:24
  Speaker 6: wind up potentially with no, no, no, no undefeated teams
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: and whatever else in Notre Dame answers. A lot of
• 46:30
  Speaker 6: the questions they get that big marquee win. over a
• 46:34
  Speaker 6: uh team the regular season.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: Uh stew you can answer this as well but what
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: did y'all make of bill belichick's comments after the game
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: that basically miami hadn't changed anything up defensively and that
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: petrino and company were able to identify some things on
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: tape that they felt like they could really exploit i
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: would say is that at all concerning Belichick lost.
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: The game I don't want to hear from him I
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: mean seriously I don't care what he figured out he
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: didn't figure out how to win that's what he didn't
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: figure out.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: I am so jealous of you, Stu, to live in
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: such a wonderfully absolute world, just binary. It's all ones
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: and zeros and blacks and whites.
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: Let's go.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: But I do think there is something to what Bear
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: is saying. I've said it the entire season. These games,
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: when a team has to win, they know they have
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: to win. The game is more important to Notre Dame
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: than it is to Miami. Miami is going to get in,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: win or lose on Saturday night. And I do think
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: from a psychological standpoint, a mentality standpoint, there is something
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: to be said for the team that we know is
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: very good and very talented in Notre.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: Dame having to win a game against Miami at home.
• 47:44
  Speaker 6: T-Bob, have you ever been in a position as a
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: player or the other side of the ball on your
• 47:51
  Speaker 6: team where you guys just didn't show something and you
• 47:56
  Speaker 6: held it out? for a specific point in the season,
• 47:58
  Speaker 6: knowing that you could get by to that point. And
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: I asked that because I wonder if there is something
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: maybe that Corey Heatherman and the Miami defense hasn't shown
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: that they weren't willing to give up and put on tape. Like,
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: is that a reasonable explanation thought? Do we think there's
• 48:17
  Speaker 6: something to that?
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you better hope there is, huh? No, no, no.
• 48:25
  Speaker 5: We've had....
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: We've had plays like singular plays and certainly maybe like
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: some packages, but nothing too, too drastic. Like probably the
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: best example that I have, like, so back in the
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: day on short yardage, right. We would always run into
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: the ball, quick snack, QB sneak, right. But throughout the year,
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: we practiced a play where the tight end does a
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: reverse off of it. We saved it for Alabama, or
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: we saved it for the time was right. Ends up,
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: time was right, against Alabama at home. Play hits, touchdown
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: on a fourth and one, ends up winning us the game.
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: So you have moments like that. But then again, the
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: game has changed so much since I played. It's been
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: 15 years, Bear. And a constant theme we've talked about
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: now is becoming more NFL, like game plans matter more.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's this year, but as college
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: football evolves I think you're going to see more game
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: plan dependent like week to week changes like you're kind
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: of alluding to where you could see a team do
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: something that's like whoa y'all just installed that this week
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: or are y'all been holding it back all right all
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: right uh we gotta go do we want to real
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: quick do bear.
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: Metal metal stands easy we we could do i already
• 49:39
  Speaker 6: hit on two of the games bronze.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Utah yeah silver georgia yeah.
• 49:44
  Speaker 6: Gold i love syracuse this week getting points at home
• 49:48
  Speaker 6: uh again clemson calver also is a stud wide receiver
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: they've been a much different offense since angelli's back and
• 49:54
  Speaker 6: i clemson should not be favored on the road there
• 49:58
  Speaker 6: you go It's.
