RLCL 350: Into the Blue Lake of Fire · Boundary Corner Podcast

0:42
Welcome back to the boundary Corner podcast.
0:46
My name is Curtis Wilson. I'm Brian Sigler.
0:49
How you doing buddy? Thursday night, Thursday night,
0:53
Thursday night, man, having a brew.
0:56
I am watching the baseball game that's currently on the
0:59
Cardinals and the Padres I'm tired.
1:02
My son had baseball practice this afternoon.
1:06
Didn't get home till like 7:30 and then chaos putting two kids
1:12
to bed. So him at midnight.
1:15
Tequila ready? Yeah, tell me about it.
1:19
Yeah, man. It's been a it's been a good
1:20
week. Little busy but nothing too
1:23
crazy. I'm hanging here in the office.
1:26
Watched a little Broncos, Jets, riveting, riveting. 30 points.
1:39
Total so, 30 points total. And I think the, I feel like the
1:44
over-under line with something abysmal, wasn't it?
1:46
Because those two offenses actually, look pretty terrible
1:50
for de Judge. Jerry Judy's went out there and
1:53
made some plays and Broncos of look.
1:56
Competent. And the Jets haven't looked
1:58
abysmal. So and they've looked so
2:02
abysmal. Yeah, over underlined was 41 on
2:04
that game. Yeah.
2:06
Might, they might even want to talk to you over.
2:08
I mean, hey, I like get that way to go the under sweats right
2:12
now. It's the under sweats.
2:14
Oh, yeah, that is the best term ever.
2:16
Because you see a game like this, where, like, all laying in
2:19
the 4130, what? There's no, yeah.
2:27
But folks big weekend ahead of college football.
2:32
Schedule gets even crazier and you know, we're going to jump.
2:36
Right into it here tonight. Hokies going to go a little bit
2:40
South this weekend. Head down to Wallace, Wade,
2:43
Stadium, and play the Duke Blue Devils, and, like last week
2:50
little thing to know your enemy. So Prime start out here, let's
2:54
start with the Duke offense going to give some numbers.
2:57
You go offense, not doing good so far.
3:01
This year only average and 254 yards passing 88 yards rushing I
3:06
mean they're Run game is non-existent we talk five, you
3:12
know, / cares what you want. If you're under for
3:15
four-and-a-half, you okay? From you got the beer there.
3:22
Hey, what you got? Hey, gus up and listen to this
3:25
abysmal. Bomber Two point seven yards per
3:31
carry, ouch. Not played well at all.
4:00
They've already given up ten sacks through three games 55th
4:04
out of 72 teams that have played not good.
4:08
We've also given up 16 tackles for loss so you take a look at
4:12
that that means 26 times in 3 games that they're they're
4:17
getting down in the backfield we're not counting pressures
4:20
we're not counting hits 26 times.
4:24
That's 9 times a game you know you You know, most times they
4:28
6575 is your average and that's about 20% of the time, they're
4:33
getting losing yards not even counting pressures.
4:38
They do have sort of a kind of an unseen Star.
4:41
As far as their passing game goes nor greater tight in a
4:45
taleo Minster. Miss Massachusetts, three star
4:48
came out into 17, has definitely been their biggest go to.
4:52
So maybe some maybe they like attacking the scenes like that
4:55
mismatch. And but but clearly Brian the
5:00
biggest star on their team right now was a transfer from Clemson
5:06
Chase Bryce three-star to Georgia.
5:08
You know what have you seen? Not only from him but kind of
5:13
from this offense in general, the first three games.
5:17
So you got to talked about it with the offensive line
5:19
struggles and how that's kind of trickling to other areas of The
5:25
offense for Duke. They've struggled against all
5:29
the defensive fronts they played so far.
5:31
So Notre, Dame, BC and UVA. Struggle mightily in the Run
5:36
game, mightily in the Run game and only really average against
5:41
the against the past. When they, when they draw back
5:44
to throw the ball. I mean, we've talked about it
5:47
before. If you can't run the ball
5:48
consistently you don't have the the play-action you got long
5:52
yardage situations where pass Russia's continued.
5:55
Phone you because you're behind all the down.
5:57
So it trickles all the way down and Bryce for all of his
6:02
attributes is not a guy that's going to escape the pocket and
6:06
get you a first down consistently either.
6:08
So that's kind of been the story pass protection struggles.
6:13
They struggled mightily with blitzing and pressure.
6:15
So Bryce has guys in his face a lot.
6:20
And, you know, you mentioned there with ten sacks. 26 knock.
6:25
Bounds. I mean that's that's atrocious
6:28
in three and a three-game stretch, my 27th.
6:31
He's been knocked down 26 time with the 10 sacks with the so
6:37
52. Essentially 52, they're getting
6:41
home. That's That's like a quarter of
6:45
the time they run a play. Yeah, yeah.
6:50
So we should have no problem taking away their run and we
6:53
should have no problem getting to them in the backfield.
6:56
Now, what we need to do need to watch out for in their running
6:59
game, is that Deon Jackson? I know you mentioned him
7:02
already, he can hurt us if he gets to the second level.
7:05
So he's he's kind of a bigger bag six-foot-two, 20, good
7:10
between the tackles can break a tackle.
7:12
So if we Tackle sound at that first level and he gets kind of
7:17
to the safety level. He can do some damage because he
7:19
does still have a little bit of a second gear.
7:21
Despite that size offensive on just has not done a good job of
7:25
establishing the run so it's put the pressure on Bryce who is a
7:29
majority pocket passer. Yeah.
7:32
And he tries to make plays with his arm a lot sometimes that's
7:38
been good for them sometimes that has not been very good for
7:41
them. It's kind of got a little bit of
7:43
Of Ryan, Willis Tendencies. I know that that's going to
7:49
that's going to make some hokey shake their heads a little bit.
7:52
I mean he's a guy that has arm talent but he's also a guy that
7:55
is going to take some risk because he has arm talent.
7:59
But what he does like to do is find his tight ends.
8:02
Those, that's his bread and butter that's where he's
8:05
comfortable and that's where he's going to look.
8:07
Especially when he's got a man coming in his face so that
8:10
sounded wrong. All right, he likes to hit yet,
8:16
he likes it. The tight ends on particularly
8:18
spot route, seems and digs he really likes the seam and he
8:21
likes the spot route. A lot, you'll see them run the
8:24
spotter outs, sometimes with like a little option for the,
8:28
the tight end to kind of settle in inside or settle out
8:32
depending on how the if there's a zone or man coverage there,
8:36
but really likes to take shots up the seam to the tight ends.
8:40
So it's going to be really important for our linebackers to
8:42
get proper depth so we can close Close the distance between the
8:47
the backers in the safeties in those own coverages that were
8:49
running. Now, when he's throwing two wide
8:52
receivers, he prefers to go to the slide guy over the x and z
8:57
really likes the skinny post. So you know, we're pretty much
9:01
talking almost a mirror. Usually you got to got the tight
9:05
end. Running a seam on one side and
9:07
probably slot running a skinny post on the other.
9:10
Does it really go outside a lot with the ball?
9:13
I think. I don't think that's necessarily
9:16
a dig at his arm. I just think he's comfortable
9:20
with his vision where he can throw to the middle of the
9:22
field. So, again, we've talked about
9:24
the primary targets. Noah gray, is the guy that he
9:28
looks for on some of those scenes and the spot routes
9:31
really good at finding space on the spot routes and he can hurt
9:35
you up the seam. The other guy that can hurt you
9:37
at the seams Jake Mar, we'd not not as not as good against the
9:43
the spot route as As grey, but he's a guy that if you looked at
9:48
the UVA game, he's the guy that had the long touchdown.
9:51
Yeah, I think it was either late first early second quarter for
9:56
them when they took the tent, got to 10.
9:58
So, look out for those two there, but the biggest thing is
10:05
that, you know, like I said, Bryce has kind of that hero
10:08
syndrome that gets him into trouble.
10:11
And that's been again, a byproduct of the At offensive
10:15
line play when you know especially when teens bring more
10:17
than four, he's got guys in his lap and he takes chances with
10:22
the football. He's not a guy that you're going
10:24
to design, run plays around, I've seen them use some short
10:29
yardage packages where they all kind of run him up the gut just
10:32
to get the first down, but there's not gonna be any
10:35
designed runs or QB sweeps, and he's not really a Scrambler.
10:40
You'll occasionally maybe take off to try to get a first down
10:42
on a short yardage. He's not someone that's going to
10:45
get you 10 or 15 yards on a scramble.
10:48
So unless it's wide open. But, you know, we get here,
10:53
we're talking about Bryce and what he's lived and died by his
10:57
is swinging the ball, and he's had some turnovers man.
11:00
Tell us about some of those turnovers, some turnovers, it's
11:04
right now. Dukes turnover, it's terrible.
11:07
I mean, the way that their turnover, the ball, right and
11:10
the rate they're turning over A, it's amazing that they were in
11:15
the Notre Dame game and it's amazing.
11:18
They were leading UVA. After three quarters, seven,
11:21
interceptions, seven, fumbles 14, total, turnovers, and three
11:27
games that oh uh, that's damn near five a game.
11:32
They've only forced four interceptions and one forced
11:35
fumble. So it might -9 differential in
11:38
the turnover as just not good and with Team of their talent
11:43
level. I mean they're they're not going
11:47
to win games turning the ball over that much.
11:50
I mean, they need, you know, we started looking back, you know,
11:54
back and forth, kind of like okay.
11:57
Well let's look at some of these games and you know, where did
12:01
they do good and you know, you mentioned more wad.
12:04
He's had two catches all year. One was that big 55 been on the
12:07
scene for a touchdown. Yeah, that's great.
12:09
But when you're turning the ball over that much in One of your
12:12
better more athletic tight ends only has that one big catch.
12:19
I don't know if he's not seeing the field or what but is we look
12:21
like at the Notre Dame game? You watched a lot of that game
12:25
earlier this season and apparently got it because we
12:28
have stuff going on. But me and you talked about it
12:31
after the game, they could have won that game.
12:35
They had a couple untimely turnovers That was a minus one
12:40
game. They lost by 14 points.
12:42
Yeah, I think you know anything, you see from that game, that
12:47
translate our game this week. Well, I think there's a few
12:51
things. So number one, you saw a Notre
12:54
Dame team that came out and played.
12:57
Okay on offense, but probably wasn't firing on all cylinders
13:01
especially with some of the communication between book in
13:04
the wide receivers. They didn't do it.
13:08
Great job of consistently. We win the ball down field on
13:12
third down and things like that. So I think they could get better
13:15
at that. But what I did see in that game
13:17
was Notre, Dame's ability to get after the Duke offense and
13:24
really throw them off. We saw it.
13:27
They even when they didn't turn the ball over significantly, do
13:32
still had to get short field a couple times in order to get
13:35
some of those scores. So I think think Duke is still
13:39
going to struggle struggle, moving, the ball consistently
13:41
because of those shortcomings even when, you know, they're
13:45
pretty even on those turnover battle.
13:47
So I still like our chances even if we're not forcing, you know,
13:51
three to five turnovers like Dukes had the last couple games.
13:54
Oh yeah man. I mean in I mean 325 and go 5 to
13:59
7 because the BC game they have five turnovers.
14:02
We're centrally they throw two picks.
14:05
Fumble three more in that game. Is just a ball out of twenty,
14:09
six twenty and you know, Jimmy 26-6 021 for BC and it's one of
14:15
those things where it's like getting you see it and it's as
14:18
you go back and you start looking and saying you know they
14:20
didn't they didn't their defense played okay but you just I mean
14:26
five turnovers. Yeah I think for us and it's
14:30
going to be It's going to be one of the things we can see, but if
14:40
they turn the ball over, if we win the turnover battle plus one
14:42
this weekend we're going to easily cover the spread.
14:46
I don't know about that one bit. Yeah the UVA game to me is a
14:49
little different because going up to the third quarter and
14:54
Madeline office says about UVA rays says about Duke mentioned,
14:57
they had said, did you go into the third quarter?
15:02
They turned it over four times. You can turn it over three, that
15:05
they were winning that game with a plus one turnover
15:09
differential. Yeah.
15:10
Similar to the Notre Dame game and I think it's something we
15:13
can look at and say, Notre Dame Talent level UVA Talent level
15:17
you give them a plus in the in the turnover martians, they can
15:22
either be leading you or potentially right in the ball
15:24
game. Yeah.
15:26
Now what they did in the third quarter was just you know hey
15:29
let's do something really stupid brine.
15:31
And I know that played just aren't the crap out of you, but
15:34
go ahead and mention like they're driving and all of a
15:38
sudden what they decide to do. We talk about the Calhoun
15:40
picked. Yeah, we're not there.
15:50
I'm going to throw across my body to the guy.
15:53
That's not open short-arm. It and just end up giving UVA
15:58
the ball on their own 10-yard line when they were already.
16:01
Field goal range 3. Yeah.
16:05
Like it just it was a bonehead play by Calhoun.
16:08
I mean I know he got the bad end of a pretty big hit as he was
16:13
letting the ball go, but that's one either.
16:15
Just got to eat or try to get the get it out of bounds and
16:18
throw it away, man. You can't take a risk with the
16:22
ball up three against an opponent that on paper is better
16:26
than you playing at their place. Like it's just there's so many
16:30
factors there that you just don't.
16:31
Don't you don't make that type of play.
16:33
And I mean that's its kind of indicative of some of the other
16:37
just general carelessness with the ball, that Duke is shown.
16:41
I mean they've had, let's talk about the ways that they've
16:46
turned the ball over. All right.
16:48
So they've had a special teams turnover.
16:50
He had a fumble by a wide receiver.
16:52
They've had a wide receiver. Throw an interception, they've
16:55
had a quarterback, throw an interception, they've had a
16:58
fumble on a run play. They've had stripped sacks like
17:01
there. Other than having a defensive
17:04
turnover that on the same. Play, the defense gives the ball
17:07
back. That's the only way.
17:09
That Duke is not turn the ball over at this point.
17:12
So basically what you're saying is Duke is essentially showing
17:16
us how to create a defenses highlight film as we're going
17:21
into next season, all the ways are kind of the temple.
17:24
Yeah, yeah I mean I don't know another like I said other than
17:28
their own defense giving the ball back after they take A pic
17:32
or a fumble recovery. I don't know another way for
17:34
them to turn the ball over and and and Bryce has been bad at
17:39
times to I mean sometimes he's thrown late and got undercut on
17:44
throwing some of those seems sometimes.
17:45
He's just had a guy on his lap and chucked it to one of those
17:49
spot routes that somebody's already playing pretty tight
17:52
coverage on. I mean, it's gyro ball sometimes
17:57
and like I said, just a general carelessness with the football
18:00
and It's bad because it's even worse when it's crunch time.
18:04
Like they get worse. The more, it matters problem,
18:08
pick at that point in time. The turnover differential was
18:11
33. This was late, third quarter.
18:13
They were up once already there already and feel they could have
18:16
put that game at 10 in essentially, probably set on the
18:20
ball and essentially gave the Wahoo's, a ugly, ugly ugly but
18:27
they didn't. So, I mean, for us, I think, the
18:30
way we look at those, Three games as say, if we win it, if
18:34
we win the turnover battle big. It's going to be ugly.
18:38
Yeah. If we win it by one and I'm
18:41
digging the UVA game up to the third quarter, they can be
18:44
competitive, they could be in it.
18:45
I don't I think we have more Talent than UVA.
18:47
I think we have a better team than UVA and then I look at the
18:50
Notre Dame game. We're somewhere between the end
18:53
of that, three in that 14, if it's a one turnover game.
18:56
Yeah, that's my opinion. Maybe I'm Wrong.
18:58
Maybe I'm right. So I for the kind of brief
19:01
Valentin. Delay.
19:02
Their folks watching the Padres game Machado Jack's one to take
19:08
to tie the game up and when like is one of those things I'm
19:11
watching it and he swings and it's one of those swings and
19:13
you're like, that's a home run. Let's go back to me.
19:18
Real live podcasting here folks. All right, brother, we we look
19:21
at their offense, they have their woes the defensive side of
19:25
the ball, not too, too much, better brine.
19:29
I mean, we kind of look at it here.
19:33
You know, giving up over 30 points per game, four hundred
19:37
twenty five yards per game overall, 250 on the are 150 on
19:41
the ground. 60 percent completion ratio run gave a
19:45
little bit better at three point seven per carry so definitely
19:48
you know not hemorrhaging in a run game.
19:52
I do think this will be the best the way.
19:55
Our guys played last week. This will be the best offensive
19:57
line they've seen at run blocking.
19:59
No knock on Notre Dame. I just That first game was
20:02
really rusty for them. Essentially, five point seven
20:05
yards per play. Now, the one step that kind of
20:08
sticks out that they're pretty good at is third down stops
20:12
there at 38%. So that's a pretty good third
20:16
down. Stop bomb percentage, basically,
20:18
you know, keeping teams from converting, you know, basically
20:23
roughly, you know, three or five times.
20:26
Now they have eight tackles for loss, which is not good.
20:30
That is Six out of the seventy two teams have played, but as
20:34
good as that third down percentage run, is you feel like
20:37
that's good? How many first downs?
20:42
Do you think they've given up in three games?
20:48
You know, their home teams on third down.
20:49
So my average per game or total. Oh let's go total Zoom.
20:54
Do the math. Let's see, I think they've got
20:58
maybe, you know, let's say, 50 Grand, you're this.
21:04
This was Price, is Right, you'd be way off, very 69, first
21:08
downs. 23 atoms. So, third Downs, great teams and
21:15
getting the third down there, literally getting there in one
21:18
or two downs. So they don't get the job done
21:21
now. This week, Brian, some news
21:24
broke that. They are going to be without a
21:25
couple of their top. Backs in elberon as you started.
21:29
Looking at some tape what are you seeing like, you know, they
21:35
they're clearly giving up points, but also your turnover.
21:38
But what are you seeing that? They have to do.
21:42
So they're not great up front but they are pretty Gap sound
21:46
and they do a good job of getting where they need to be on
21:50
the defensive front. They like to bring pressure on
21:55
passing Downs, they don't do a good job of getting pregnant.
21:57
Usher, with just four, usually have to bring an extra man to
22:00
get some really good push and they're not that impressive in
22:06
the secondary. I think we're going to see even
22:08
even less of that with the with the guys out.
22:10
So I mean it's going to be interesting to see what we end
22:13
up getting from them. But I mean, I definitely think
22:17
that we have an opportunity to make some plays.
22:22
They do also do a good job of like stunning.
22:27
Run. So creating some confusion with
22:30
the offensive linemen, but we saw against NC State that our
22:34
guys did a pretty good job of picking that up.
22:36
So hopefully that's going to continue and they do the same in
22:38
the passing game. They really want to try to get
22:41
pressure by confusing. The offensive line versus just
22:44
lining up and and out, muscling, you or throwing a speed rush at
22:49
you. There's really only one guy that
22:50
can hurt you from that perspective.
22:53
Yeah. And you mention it because about
22:55
that line in the stuff they have to do too.
22:57
Confused. Because by all means you're
22:58
telling me right there with one out.
23:00
What me and you talked about? The interior, their line is very
23:03
weak, but the outside damn good is definitely the strongest part
23:07
of their line. Yeah, you know, the total line
23:10
is had ten sacks in three games led by the preseason.
23:13
All-American crew from three star out of Florida.
23:17
You know, he has 16. Tackles one sack, Victor De new
23:23
kg. I screwed that up.
23:25
I'm sorry. The three.
23:27
At a Charm City. Believe it or not, he had a ton
23:31
of 38 total offers, a lot of D1 teams were after him.
23:34
He so far has been really their star on as a, you know, the team
23:39
as a whole eight tap move 1/2. Tackles for loss for sacks.
23:43
So he him and broth basically making up half their sack total
23:46
there. I mean, those guys are good, you
23:50
know, it's one of those things where, you know, it's kind of a
23:53
bright spot for them but Ryan What are you see?
23:58
Maybe what we can do. Obviously, you mentioned the
24:01
stunts and stuff, could do they have to do that?
24:03
Probably be in the weakness on the inside, like trying to
24:06
compute, especially with two, good defensive ends.
24:08
But what else are they going to have to do?
24:11
Yeah, so I mean, you said it right there, Victor Diva kg and
24:15
Creeks around for kind of their two guys.
24:18
Run for the pass. Rush specialist, even though he
24:20
has fewer sex right now, he is the guy that's going to bring
24:24
that that speed rush pressure off the edge.
24:27
Deva kg more of a three-day on player.
24:32
Good against the Run, can pass rush.
24:35
He's probably the guy that you're going to probably gain
24:38
playing a little bit more around just because you're going to see
24:40
him on a lot more snaps. But rough is a guy that can
24:45
really hurt you in one play. Kind of get that speed rush and
24:50
you know throw you for a big loss potentially get a sack
24:53
fumble and things like that. So both of them are guys to
24:57
Watch but neutralizing them. I think we're just going to keep
25:00
doing what we did against NC State with a lot of inside run
25:02
man. UVA did a good job with that.
25:06
Working against Dukes interior formed them up.
25:10
It kind of was a little bit of a death by a Thousand Cuts they
25:15
had to get some yards here yards there.
25:17
But as the game wore on tawa, Papa started to find some.
25:21
Some holes in that defense it was able to get some chunk
25:24
yardage and that's when they started to pour on the the
25:26
points there in the Fourth quarter.
25:29
So I think we're going to see a lot more of that and then I
25:31
think we're going to see some some more of getting our running
25:36
backs involved in the passing game.
25:37
Whether it's the screen game, some short passes, some some
25:41
Flair outs, I mean, things like that.
25:43
We saw against Notre Dame Duke struggled, tackling those guys
25:47
in space Chiron Williams tore them up in the passing game.
25:53
He had he had two catches one of them got I went for Big yardage
25:58
and and Chris Tyree also had some good touches in that game
26:03
as well. He ended up with some is decent
26:06
passing yards numbers and had some good good runs outside the
26:10
tackles as well. So I think there's a lot of
26:12
different ways we can attack them from an offensive
26:15
perspective, trying to get some points on them.
26:19
But I look for us to start with the Run game, establish that,
26:23
and then, you know, work early Downs, play action, and then lay
26:26
it down. Some Blitz beaters so that we
26:28
can get the ball out of are the quarterbacks hands, let the
26:31
receivers make some plays, Let the running backs, make some
26:34
plays in the screen game. All right, let me ask this Braun
26:38
and I'm watching baseball tonight, I'll put this analogy
26:41
to slow down our offense. I think I picked the perfect
26:44
game pretty much. I think, I think they've got
26:49
some a little bit of wiggle room, but not a lot like, For
26:57
example, they can afford maybe maybe one turnover one turnover,
27:06
maybe I just think that we're going to be able to I think
27:10
we're going to protect the ball. Number one and number two I
27:12
think we're going to do a good job of maintaining drives
27:16
getting points consistently and things like that.
27:18
And that's something that they don't do well.
27:21
And so I think even if we don't jump out and beat the brakes off
27:25
of them in the first quarter, like The NC State, I think we're
27:28
still going to pull away late and with a similar type of Point
27:33
differential at the end of the game, okay?
27:36
Uh, some shades of maybe your prediction like maybe, maybe.
27:43
All right. Well, let's jump.
27:45
We've discussed Duke. We hid their offense, their
27:47
defense. Let's hit the pivotal players
27:48
for the Hokies and Braun. Lets go kind of number one.
27:54
I feel is going to be strong. The safety boundary save you,
27:58
roaster, a, with kyanka. And Jay are a couple other guys
28:02
fill in that spot by then experience there.
28:06
But you mentioned it earlier, I want you to say it again for the
28:10
folks. I think it's important to know
28:12
why those two guys are so important on this defense is
28:14
because of the tight ends. Yeah yeah.
28:17
So we're talking about the tight ends and what they like to run.
28:19
So they like to run a lot of spot routes seems and digs and
28:25
that think that those are things that Going to put some weight on
28:29
those safeties to make tackles to make sure that they are in
28:34
the right position in zone coverage.
28:37
And so guys, like you want a Jenkins, Devon Diablo, even
28:42
looking Rudolph might see some, see some time in this game.
28:46
Every other. The other true.
28:48
Yeah. The other true freshman?
28:49
Yes. So there's a lot of guys, Tyree
28:52
Rogers could see some time in this game as well, so anybody
28:55
that's going to be lining up in that safety.
28:57
Area is going to be someone that's going to need to make
28:59
some plays in this game because that's where they like to attack
29:02
kind of in that 15 to 20 yard range of the field in the middle
29:08
of the field there, whether it's, you know, digs seems and
29:11
then underneath the linebackers with the with the spot route.
29:14
So and safety plays going to definitely be important,
29:18
especially in the in the pass game.
29:21
Got a plenty, we start talking about it me and you put them 12
29:25
and we just blend them together because The safety is going to
29:28
be important for what they like to do for them to have any
29:30
semblance of a chance on, you know, either going to have to
29:34
attack that. And be I think we're going to
29:36
have to play really bad, white really bad, at those positions
29:41
to do it. Now, Brian, you put this guy
29:43
down here. You said he had to be on here.
29:46
Who's the other key for the defense based on what?
29:48
Dude looks like fun. They're all from Divine Justice.
29:51
Reed ladies and gentlemen and we could easily say here the entire
29:57
Offensive line. But I'm going to single out just
30:00
as read not only because of what I saw him do against NC State
30:03
because I think what he did against NC State is going to be
30:06
exactly what is going to be great against Duke and that's
30:10
bull rush. Put guys in the lap of Chase
30:12
Bryce and make him throw when he's not ready or off his back
30:16
foot because he will make those throws.
30:18
He will not make the smart play and take the sack or throw it
30:20
out of bounds. He will try to get the ball in
30:23
there. So I think, I think just as Reed
30:26
is going to have A big game and if he's not directly creating
30:31
turnovers and sex, he's going to be forcing maybe one or two.
30:35
The other big thing about that get up to three and you're
30:39
talking about how good he is, is there to, you know, obviously
30:45
their leading receiver is a tight end, the guy who showed
30:48
last we can, he break, big plays or tight ends so if nothing else
30:51
that maybe the two positions we feel are very important are
30:54
going to kind of essentially help each other because if
30:58
Justice, the first couple drives is eating their tackles alive.
31:02
I have a feeling of two tight ends are going to have to stay
31:04
in. And Chip and maybe even maybe
31:08
even just say Hey listen we're not going to do it because he's
31:12
going to get to the quarterback either way.
31:14
Maybe we can try to find something else.
31:15
So it's funny because you look at it as kind of saying if we do
31:20
this it's going to help these guys out because it takes away
31:23
their best weapon. Yeah.
31:26
All right? And that's that's going to be
31:28
big for us. I think if we can make them have
31:31
to adjust, what they do best that's going to create even more
31:35
problems. I think.
31:36
I mean of course the adjustments are needed because we're taking
31:40
away their best option, but now they're moving away from their
31:42
best option and I don't I don't think any team really wants to
31:45
do that either. The going to be the portable
31:51
coin, flip for them right? Yeah.
31:53
Pick your poison. See, we can let our quarterback
31:58
get murdered by this guy, or we can help them and then leave our
32:02
best weapons on the line of scrimmage just not great, not
32:07
great for them at all. All right, let's flip over to
32:09
the offensive side. Brian.
32:11
You got is our number one pivotal players.
32:16
I think we've already kind of talked about him a little bit,
32:18
but it's going to be the running backs.
32:19
Again, it's going to be, what, what Herbert and Blackshear can
32:24
do in the Run game. If if we're able to get a
32:28
consistent Run game against them, get, you know, one guy
32:32
above 100, maybe get at least get our total team above 200.
32:37
They're going to struggle man, because that means we're
32:40
possessing the ball. We're moving it up and down the
32:42
field on them, you know, as long as we're coming away with points
32:45
on those drives, I feel confident that the that we're
32:50
going to be able to take care of cake, take care of dukkha.
32:52
We can establish that run well, Herbert between the tackles lat.
32:56
Sheer outside Blackshear in the passing game, Herbert in the
33:02
passing game, into the screen game.
33:03
I just think that those two are going to be the most important
33:08
element to for us to get a big victory against Duke.
33:12
If I had to go with some other guys.
33:14
I'd probably say our tackle. So we got Daris onto new to hear
33:19
their defense. Their best players are going to
33:21
play that defensive end position.
33:22
So if we can stop those guys out, especially if we don't have
33:26
to chip Poor or anything. Just have our best tackles out
33:30
there one-on-one, you know, that's going to be big for us
33:33
and keep some of that pressure from getting in.
33:37
You know, if they don't bring they bring more than 4, we can
33:40
pick up the Russians, hopefully, our interior guys can pick up
33:44
those blitzes. Well, the big thing and we'll go
33:47
back to the black sharing, her first, we find out Blackshear
33:50
was a literally cleared Friday. He had one day at practice.
33:54
Yeah and I know probably Appointed you some of their let
33:58
me and you kind of, you know, hinted at it.
34:00
Well on Saturday, but they got him out there cuz even out there
34:04
and play, he's a weapon. He had the touchdown carry, he
34:07
had some other few other carries.
34:09
He had one day at practice and that's essentially why we didn't
34:12
see him in the second half. Yeah, your point with the new
34:14
down there, I saw. And to what you said earlier
34:16
about them having to bring the extra plaster, if to noon and
34:20
aerosol hold up, their two best defensive Rush hands and they
34:24
have to bring extra pleasure. I feel confident with our third,
34:30
guys, on this list of quarterbacks.
34:32
They are not only going to find the open man.
34:35
They are going to find the open man for big game.
34:39
Yeah, they don't do that. I have a feeling that one of our
34:43
quarterback is going to break 40 + yd run because I definitely
34:50
agree with that. You know, we haven't heard
34:52
whether it's going to be Burmeister starting or if it's
34:54
going to be in hooker. Be good start.
34:58
Yeah. All three could potentially
35:00
start I think so let's say this, I think all three are going to
35:04
play at least one one snap. Yes.
35:08
I mean that I think I think that's that's a very strong
35:12
likelihood. Hopefully we see the hooker as
35:15
the starter and let Burmeister come in and and do his thing and
35:20
then get q p in there for some of the short yardage things.
35:23
I liked a lot of what Burmeister was able to do a Specially in
35:27
the Run game and I like that. He's a weapon that you know when
35:32
he comes if he comes on the field in those roles, you know,
35:35
he's probably run first but he has such an ability with passing
35:40
the ball as well that you can't say.
35:42
You can't key on anything. No.
35:45
So you can bring him in and then you know like throw a screen or
35:50
throw a 10-yard out and then next thing, you know, you run a
35:52
quarterback sweep and he gets 40 yards.
35:54
So I mean, there's there's so many Different things you can do
35:57
with them because from a game plan perspective, he's running
36:00
the same game plan that hooker. Would he just has probably a
36:04
couple extra run plays that you're not going to see hooker
36:06
run at all, or at least not you three or four times a game like
36:11
you would with Burmeister absolutely.
36:14
And any three of them. Got the start, I'm hoping
36:17
everybody gets at least seven snaps.
36:23
You know that that to me will say, multiple series for all
36:26
guys for Quincy and say it if it is stirred into or less put him
36:34
on with Banfield record, Quincy Stitch foot board, 250 pounds.
36:40
If he runs his own read and takes it, he is going to
36:43
probably it he's gonna fall for damn near five and a half feet.
36:50
Yeah, a couple of a couple times he was running this place when
36:52
he was in the game against NC State.
36:53
Even when they had the place snuffed out, he was falling
36:57
forward for two or three yards, please you just please using
37:00
man. All right, Brian, let's go,
37:03
let's go to some little interesting things because we
37:07
know Justin Hamilton. Thankfully everything we've
37:12
heard, everything we were he tested positive for Coronavirus
37:15
so it's ready on Friday, so he's out 10 days, so he will not be
37:21
back. This Saturday, boring something
37:24
strange, unless they proved it with the fault - yep.
37:29
So fun, everybody knows Tracy. Claeys is back.
37:34
Darrell Taps also, back Darrell. Apparently how he tested he was
37:38
quarantined to a booth. I don't know if This was if he
37:41
was like, if he hit day 14 and they let him be in there, but
37:45
they wouldn't let him on the field, something?
37:46
Yeah, it was weird. They said, you know, he wasn't
37:49
listed as a coach that was out of the game, but he also wasn't
37:53
on the sideline, which is, which is his usual position.
37:56
Yeah. So Tracy claeys is back Ron
38:00
Smith. Called the game last week, this
38:05
is the debate that mean you got into and some other folks who
38:08
should call the who should call the game this week Brown from
38:13
the defensive side of the ball. Who should or who will?
38:21
Hi because I'm there I thought their schools of thought here as
38:24
far as who will. And then there is my opinion of
38:30
who should okay? And that may be different.
38:34
All right for you? How about this?
38:38
I'm going to tell you who, I'm gonna give you my opinion.
38:40
Okay. Let me if it's your head or put
38:42
your heart, okay? He promised nothing there.
38:47
I think you might run. It's called one more game at it,
38:50
and it's not that Tracy. Not back in case you're not
38:53
gonna play caller. But I think you need to get
38:55
Tracy more, acclimated to being ready on the sidelines.
38:58
Tracy, did not get to go through that last week if, you know, if
39:01
Tracy had been leading up calling the game all week, maybe
39:06
you Tracy acclimated to the sidelines.
39:08
We did not have a linebackers coach last week.
39:11
I didn't get prepped for that. Let Ron he did a very good job.
39:14
My opinion Jam still probably along with the staff putting
39:17
what they want. To do together.
39:20
And then that's my opinion. I think you keep running.
39:23
So for you what, that the head over the heart, I think that is
39:29
the head, okay? Because I think the smart play,
39:34
is that everything we were told was that when they were
39:39
practicing for back-up plan, they call her, which to me, says
39:44
the guy that calls the plays. If the primary play caller is
39:47
not available. That guy was Ryan Smith going
39:51
into that game. And that tells me that, I don't
39:56
think that will change. I don't think they make the
39:59
adjustment to move those duties over to Tracy, claeys, just
40:04
because Tracy, claeys is now available, although Tracy's
40:08
track record is damn good. Tracy has a very good track
40:13
record. I will agree.
40:14
Trade, Tracy, has called plays for some good defense has
40:17
especially the defense's that he had up in Minnesota and he had
40:22
some damn good being a good start with with Wazoo before
40:27
year to win. Things kind of fell out between
40:30
him and Mike Leach. Yeah. 2018 defense, it Wazoo was
40:35
really damn good for Wazoo and being on the other side of an
40:39
Air Raid Offense. Yeah, though, I don't I think
40:43
it's a, it's a win-win whoever calls it, because I say you keep
40:48
Ryan because you keep the keep the same until hand gets back.
40:51
But on the other hand, if hands back next week on and now I'm
40:55
contradicting myself here. But you know, there's Tall,
40:59
boys, gone. Thank God.
41:04
The Cardinals are losing right now, but Ryan Smith, once hand
41:09
gets back, he will be in the he will be up in the booth where
41:12
most either it, whether they're the safeties or the defensive
41:16
back or the quarterback coach is going to be, you know, that from
41:21
I'm sure your guys at Sydney, there was always probably a
41:24
defensive back coach in the book just to see how everything's
41:26
looking from above because they Need a wider view, the field.
41:29
So I think we're I think we're winning when either way.
41:34
Okay. All right, but we breathe it.
41:38
We think Smith will be calling. We'll know, we'll know pretty
41:41
quick Wally if they show a sideline shot and you don't see
41:44
Ryan Smith down there. Tracy is calling please.
41:46
Yeah, they really do a curveball Ryan's calling places booth.
41:53
That would be different. That would be something we
41:55
haven't seen very often. Ron, you got the 25 this week?
42:02
Brian Johnson, got the 25, man. Kicker Well, after his
42:08
performance last week, drilling 2, + 45 yard field goals, that
42:12
would have been good from 60 say desert that go into a good kick
42:24
and I mean he was able to make it work and make it work at a
42:28
high level man. Absolutely and great given that
42:31
25 the other good part and you talk about him.
42:35
If you look at him this year he looks It's bigger and going back
42:38
to him and Oscar's little distance home or help series.
42:44
Or that's very sorry that was seven months ago and the way
42:53
they talked about themselves, they don't want to be a
42:56
specialist. They want to be known as
42:57
football players and how they bust their asses in the weight
43:00
room to get to that level. And I think you've seen it from
43:04
him from coming in. And taking over last year, his
43:08
he's kicked it further and further and further, which is
43:13
awesome. So, really good for him.
43:16
Getting that 25. Let's hope he doesn't have to be
43:20
anything but extra points this weekend, the run and let's get
43:23
to our predictions. You want me to lead off buddy?
43:27
You lead. All right.
43:30
I've been throwing this around several different ways and just
43:34
trying to figure out where I wanted to go with it, but I
43:37
settled on 42 to 21. We're jigna Tech obviously.
43:46
Then you obviously we cover the spread.
43:49
Obviously, do you think so like a boa, constrictor tight game,
43:54
or is this going to be like an NC State?
43:55
In the first three rounds, we knock their asses down three
43:58
times and they essentially get a few pointers back in because of,
44:05
you know, us plan. Tyler matheny's of the world and
44:10
Walk-Ons and get there by a chance to shine.
44:13
I think we put 10 on them early. And then I think we kind of
44:18
Trade for a little bit and then pull away at the end.
44:23
So, tenderly, straight, some touchdowns traits and field
44:27
goals, probably somewhere around. 28 or 30 1217.
44:36
And then we kind of Take over from there and close it out.
44:40
They might get a field goal late to make get to the 21 we're
44:48
pretty close. You headed as a seven-point
44:50
game, I had it as a four-point game.
44:52
I'm going 4124 and what I think it's going to be different.
44:57
I think our offensive line is going to come out and mash them
45:00
early. I think we're going to walk into
45:01
a locker room at somewhere. You know 24 to 28 the like 7 and
45:15
just kind of grind out the second half, make them do stuff
45:18
out, see this if that is what I think's going to happen in the
45:22
first time happens and they start getting loose with the
45:24
ball. You could be a picture Garden
45:28
because if they get done with the ball and not a simply play
45:33
for both of you guys experienced play for getting confidence
45:37
built up, they start learning it.
45:39
We start picking it big, big, big for without the I could
45:47
definitely see that. I could definitely see us if
45:49
there's a bunch of turnovers like we've seen I could
45:51
definitely see us blowing this thing up pretty big.
45:54
But well I think that they're going to After having been to
45:57
like that, I don't, I don't think they give us five after
46:01
having back-to-back games of given five.
46:03
But if they, if they're at two or three, then I think we're
46:06
still gonna be where we want to be.
46:09
I think they give us two or three and we don't give them.
46:12
We gave them 0 to 1. I would like to up mine to
46:15
51:24, and I try to make a prediction.
46:21
I try to say this game is clean-cut as possible.
46:23
This is what I think is going to happen, but why nothing?
46:26
He's between 11 and 12. I think we're 17 points better
46:29
than them. If there's no turnovers at all.
46:31
That's just the way I feel. I don't know if you try to think
46:34
about turnovers and stuff and if you do that's great.
46:39
That's just philosophy is how you make prediction.
46:41
So the Padres hit another two home runs and now leaders.
46:47
I think we're both happy. The Cardinals are losing.
46:49
Oh yeah, a Braves fan. I hate the Cardinals in the
46:52
playoffs, get them the fuck out of there.
46:59
Problem. 1 got a prediction to him.
47:03
We got our game under now, let's do a quick shot of what happened
47:07
in the other games around. The ACC this week, let's start
47:11
with where game day was the Saturday night ABC game, which
47:14
really wasn't a game Jesus Lord, have mercy, what the hell was
47:22
that? Um, that team?
47:26
That it essentially been dumped on by its old head coach, and
47:30
I'm not talking Willie tagging. I'm talking Jimbo Fisher that
47:34
was brutal. 5210, that's not Florida State, Miami that, we
47:40
grew up with. That's not what we in the last
47:42
decade in for us. We're trying to scout Miami and
47:48
trying to get stuff on Miami. It sucks.
47:49
That was the same time. So we couldn't focus on it at
47:51
much, but I couldn't tell you Florida state has like quit so I
47:56
could Tell you if if Miami is do you was back or now that you
48:01
just played a really shitty team and they did good teams do the
48:04
shitty teacher this way, Florida State, so bad.
48:07
I completely miscalculated how bad GT still is we'll get to
48:14
that in a moment although that you had a good week.
48:19
Other than that one game. Yes, yes, I did.
48:24
All right well let's set up a couple of the other ones. is
48:26
here Brian we talked about the next one, a good deal already
48:31
but let's look at a little bit more from UVA side because we
48:34
Deep dive into the Duke side in my biggest takeaway is this You
48:39
were essentially. Even turnover margin with Duke
48:44
in the third quarter and you were down.
48:46
Yep. They better be worried.
48:50
And in that case, we will play the defense played great.
48:52
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, listen, you're not going
48:55
to for seven turnovers most games and you still gave up 22
49:00
them. Now, I will say to their credit,
49:05
they got a short field, got a short field, two times, one off
49:10
of a Call fumble to open the game by UVA and then another I
49:17
can't remember was if it was a fumble or a interception, I
49:21
think was an interception thrown by Armstrong towards the
49:25
sideline and that set him up with like from like the 24, 25
49:29
yard line so they had short feels twice.
49:31
Got 10 points out of it, that had something to do with it.
49:35
But I mean we saw we talked about earlier with Calhoun
49:37
throwing the pic when they were driving up up three.
49:39
So, I'm not saying that UVA is a bad team.
49:44
Definitely not a bad team. They've got a pretty good
49:47
offensive line even though it's thin, they have a really good
49:51
defense and they've got a quarterback that is still
49:55
undetermined. I'm not going to say I haven't I
49:59
didn't see anything from him in that game, that scares me but I
50:02
did see a guy that he commanded the offense.
50:05
Well but he did also make some mistakes.
50:08
All right. Ron you mentioned.
50:09
They're too short Fields. They also had a short field in
50:11
the With Corner. They also had at the 50-yard
50:14
line in the fourth quarter. Oh yeah, UVA definitely had a
50:17
bunch of good bad damn, good field position to.
50:20
So I was just saying, you know, you said they got 20 on that
50:24
defense, you have it. 10 was 10 really short but on the other
50:29
hand, I'm sitting here saying well, how many points did uva's
50:32
offense, which is kind of the unknown with them.
50:34
How many did they get off of seven turnovers?
50:37
Yeah, I'm shut out. I was a shout-out to there.
50:42
Very tall, definitely not the next Randy Moss, but very good
50:46
player Lavelle Davis. He had a, he had a good game
50:52
kind of probably the guy that's going to emerge as the number to
50:55
Target in their offense behind Jana.
50:57
So that's going to be a got to look out for going forward.
51:02
Bald eagle skinny. Yeah.
51:05
Yeah, I'm gonna dig it. Them all I can hit a lot of his
51:10
catches were laid in the fourth. On those kind of those turnover
51:13
drives to. So where was he in the other
51:17
earlier parts of the game. True, you know, that they were
51:21
they afraid to use them with your frayed to hide him?
51:24
I think, I don't know if this weekend, we're going to know a
51:28
lot about UVA, will discuss that a little later, but it's it's
51:32
gonna depend on how close that game.
51:33
If the game is close, I think we learned something about UVA.
51:36
If that game is a blowout, I don't think we really have
51:39
anything we can take away from it.
51:40
So and more than Likely. It's going to be a blow.
51:43
We'll get to that as we belong here.
51:47
The other game good game. Look up it.
51:53
Yeah. What do we learn about?
51:54
Kenny picket, he's still struggling to win games.
52:00
He won, they won the game. He's not gonna, he's not going
52:09
to hurt you too much, but he's also not going to go out there
52:11
and win anything for you. And as bad as Louisville played
52:16
in pretty much every phase of that goes, especially on
52:19
defense. Oh gosh.
52:21
It's like that. That shouldn't have been a game.
52:26
You should at least been a 10-point game if not more.
52:30
It's defense especially their front door like they you know
52:33
they definitely miss the blooming their offensive lineman
52:37
that they lost in the draft there because they cannot hold
52:40
up from an offensive line perspective against that pit
52:42
front and I. Nope, it was good but I think
52:45
Louisville's offensive line is so so bad that they really
52:50
couldn't get some of those. Typical big plays down the field
52:54
and in the outside Rush game that you see them take advantage
52:58
of. Yeah.
53:00
Yeah, I think with those two teams what we've seen on tape so
53:03
far and if we're completely healthy, I think those games
53:08
those are the ones I've cording to put these aside and say we we
53:11
play. We play who we are.
53:14
We're wearing those things. Yeah.
53:16
One theme from them unless they have massive drastic turn
53:19
arounds for Luke. Yeah, I'll say those games have
53:22
went from what I considered tall Subs at the beginning of the
53:25
season to kind of, if the line was at least like four four and
53:29
a half. If I'd take you just bet the
53:33
legal limit on the Hokies to win those games.
53:35
Easily Yap, it. Can you pick it?
53:37
Ain't it. Their defense has good, not
53:41
great. Louisville, the offensive line,
53:44
just it's bad. And that defense is should be
53:48
shredded cheese against any capable offense absolutely like
53:54
last time last one. How do you feel about the BC
53:58
game? Now after they're primarily on
54:08
the strength of turnovers and not much else.
54:12
Very true, man. I mean, it was, you know, they
54:16
go down. They struggle there 2 and 0, but
54:19
just kind of looking Bad Hat. One game is Just, it ain't what
54:24
it is. If and I mean, you know, I'm
54:27
sitting here just kind of going through some of the stuff we've
54:30
looked at and it's like they ran the ball 17 times and they ran
54:37
the ball 27 times. 400 nights issue.
54:40
He also has a few new for 87 yards.
54:44
That's right for you ordered to carry.
54:45
That's not b c under few of them yard passing.
54:49
I mean, you take a look at it. They probably should have lost
54:52
that game but they didn't. So yeah, it took a little, what
54:57
a Lake Drive to kind of put it away there, it literally took a
55:02
took a touchdown under two minutes and a last-second, field
55:06
goal to win that game. And Texas state is a one and
55:12
three team with losses. Touchdown UT San Antonio by
55:20
three, which that game was insane.
55:23
I remember watching that here and they lost Louisiana, Monroe
55:25
about 21. So, yeah, I feel better about
55:29
the PC game now. Yeah.
55:32
Yeah. And like I said, I think the BC
55:35
game against Texas State tells us a little bit about BC and it
55:38
Us a little bit more about Duke and what they present coming
55:42
into this game. I mean, if we can get the
55:45
turnovers, like they had again, eat like it.
55:48
I don't think we even need five, but if we can just get them to
55:50
turn the ball over some, I think we're going to be able to
55:52
handle, do pretty well. Absolutely.
55:54
All right. Well Braun.
55:56
We have some predictions. And some pick, the make here.
55:59
But let's do a little reverse it last week.
56:02
Brian, what I say. One game.
56:05
Got you one game in brine 5? And one last week I was 500, so
56:12
no didn't lose any money, we are.
56:16
Both 10 wins, 7 losses. So if anybody out there was
56:20
brave enough money from Week, 1 to week 3, we would have both
56:27
made you money. Here, three ACC games and what
56:53
makes we're going five out of conference games this week
56:58
because like, for mistakes, please Jacksonville State, wait
57:01
Place, Campbell. We're not going to.
57:03
I don't even know if there's lines on their games, so let's
57:07
start it off from buddies bed. No, no, man.
57:09
Somebody is oh yeah, somebody's button on it but Let's start.
57:23
Thirteen and a half points to NC State.
57:28
Brian, I'm going to lead with this one.
57:32
Give me pain. Give me NC State.
57:35
Give me 13 and a half points against Pitt.
57:38
I'm right there with you and I'll tell you this, I don't
57:41
think pit is beating any ACC team by 14 points this season,
57:46
know if they couldn't beat Syracuse.
57:50
Well, they beat Syracuse bottle of them.
57:52
Yeah. No they're not going to win it.
57:55
And I know that a lot of the stuff that NCC, It does plays
57:58
into the strength. I think.
57:59
Leary will start this weekend for them and I did, but I can't
58:04
see 14 and a half. Just like, I don't think me and
58:07
you can see, Kenny, picket getting them.
58:09
Their me. All right?
58:14
Second one little more interesting.
58:18
Brian. Boston College, North Carolina,
58:21
North Carolina. Lay in the Thirteen and a half.
58:25
What you got? Give me UNC.
58:32
I have no faith in b.c. anymore especially if they can't run the
58:35
ball. I'm with you on this one too.
58:41
Yeah, BC. That Texas State game told a lot
58:44
that if they can't force a buttload of turnovers are going
58:47
to be in The Struggle Bus. Now, UNC haven't played in a
58:50
couple weeks so that might be but I'm also hoping that UNC
58:56
gets full of themselves by beating BC, 3514 and we walk
59:02
into week three with then in their head in the clouds.
59:06
Don't know, the Thunders are about to be brought.
59:10
All right, bro. I'm With You Lead this one too.
59:15
Okay, you guys Lane 29. Man, you know what?
59:26
Give me UVA in the points. Okay, I think it's going to be
59:31
just under that. I think, I think it's going to
59:33
be like twenty four, twenty twenty, seven points.
59:35
I think it's going to be just under that law.
59:40
All right there. Bronze taking UVA here.
59:43
Are you thinking that Clemson just going to turn off the the,
59:49
The Supercharged team and let UVA sneak it in?
59:54
I think. So, what I think is that you VA
59:57
is a Even though they're not as I think top-end good.
1:00:01
I think they're a little deeper than they were last year
1:00:05
especially when they play Clemson.
1:00:08
So I foresee kind of a almost every time Clemson gets to
1:00:14
scores. You're going to match that with
1:00:16
the UVA score. So it's going to kind of come
1:00:18
out in the end, somewhere between three and four scores.
1:00:22
And I'm going to just take. Yeah, I'm going to say it's
1:00:25
going to be just under four scores.
1:00:26
So okay. therefore, In the words of Lee Corso, not too fast, my
1:00:33
friend. And this is why I've really, and
1:00:40
feeling the 28th. Okay?
1:00:44
29. You found it for me, at least,
1:00:48
at a better line. Dabo is talking way too highly.
1:00:55
He a players this week. You got some brand-new
1:01:21
20. Okay.
1:01:23
Like light in the same rough ballpark as the Bogut as the ACC
1:01:28
Championship game playing ball park.
1:01:31
That was 62 17. Yeah, so that's one of those
1:02:51
I don't think BYU's a good team. Just some of the things
1:02:55
Louisiana Tech goes on offense is a little bit funky than what
1:02:58
BYU has seen to this point. I really wish me why you would
1:03:01
have played Army because I think that would have told us a lot
1:03:05
more about BYU because it BYU kind of if they did.
1:03:10
What since he did to them, you would be like, they're good,
1:03:13
they're not great, but they're still a really good team but 23
1:03:17
and a half is a ton delay. That is a Friday night game at
1:03:20
9:00. Me and you will probably have to
1:03:22
make a decision if we want to watch a lot of football,
1:03:26
Saturday to watch that game. I probably definitely can't
1:03:30
because my wife has given me permission.
1:03:31
I'm playing a round of golf Saturday morning so I'm
1:03:34
definitely not watch well, if I can sneak her into the cave and
1:03:40
put it up top, maybe I can be us at on a Washington baseball to
1:03:44
what you think what you got BYU. I would ever do a brief
1:03:48
interlude here. I've been talking to him like
1:03:50
ever since he left the Colts but Pierre to see her.
1:03:52
Just got to pick six so that game isn't a two-point
1:03:58
conversion away from being a tight 27, a piece.
1:04:01
Wow. Well the over is done or the
1:04:04
other waited. Yeah, the young and I'll get
1:04:09
back to my I'm going to take BYU.
1:04:17
I liked what I saw from them in the highlights from last week.
1:04:20
And some of the I watched a little bit of the first half, so
1:04:25
I like what I'm seeing from them.
1:04:27
I think they're going to be able to pour it on similar to what
1:04:32
they did last week, even with La Tech bringing something a little
1:04:35
different to the table. So, give me BYU me.
1:04:39
Why you put it on there, laying a 23 and a half points?
1:04:42
Yes, sir. All right.
1:04:44
Right, Braun. Lets go to Tuscaloosa, will let
1:04:47
you leave this one. Texas A&M Alabama, Bama blow the
1:04:52
doors off. Missouri last weekend.
1:04:53
Do shot. Texas A&M only wins by five
1:04:57
against Vandy. What you got?
1:05:02
Give Me Bama. That's, that's a 21-point game.
1:05:10
I'm with you on Bama. I think
1:05:27
it was their first game. It was vandy's first game.
1:05:29
Dandy had some of their better players hopped out and you're
1:05:33
here with Kellen mom. A boat on the talent and you
1:05:37
beat them by 5 and I know some people are going to bullshit and
1:05:40
say well they don't want to show them of the whole Playbook dude.
1:05:44
You should not have to choke anything to beat Vandy by more
1:05:49
than five points. Truth family and I'll say it
1:05:55
again. I mean You know, Vandy has a lot
1:05:59
of similarities to what to Duke's program.
1:06:03
I mean, and I'd say even in some cases a little bit of a lesser
1:06:10
competition I really think that am just really kind of shit the
1:06:15
bed a little bit and let them hang around a lot longer than
1:06:19
they should have. And I think bamas going to be
1:06:22
ready and jump over them and it's going to be kind of a big,
1:06:27
big margin early. I think am maybe does a little
1:06:30
something to get it back to. Maybe a two touchdown game and
1:06:34
then Bama closes. I'm out in the All right, CBS
1:06:39
334 that one. Hopefully I'll be watching it.
1:06:45
Hey, it will be on one of the little strings.
1:06:48
All right, let's go to this one. This is going to be high noon.
1:06:53
Kick in Big 12 country. TCU Texas at Texas.
1:06:59
This is going to be, I believe on Fox.
1:07:02
So this game Doom to get cancelled, like every other damn
1:07:06
big noon game has been canceled on Fox potentially but tea.
1:07:11
Say that this far maybe it's good.
1:07:15
He's a Texas laying 11 and a half Point Texas.
1:07:20
Literally with the fucking miracle win.
1:07:22
Last week against Texas. Tech North of unbelievable
1:07:25
things in the last minute there. He see, you took the loss on the
1:07:28
road at Iowa, State by field goal, you know?
1:07:33
And that was a good competitive game back-to-back.
1:07:37
They, you know, they scored the touchdown really late that, you
1:07:40
know, pull them within But who you got here, bro?
1:07:46
Oh man. Is this kind of the game that we
1:07:51
like, if Texas wins it? Are they going to say that Texas
1:07:54
is back? Like, we hear it every year,
1:07:59
man. We know that we know, it's going
1:08:00
to eventually. Come fuck, it TCU wins out,
1:08:04
right? Oh, TCU wins out.
1:08:09
Right? Um, I won't know if they're
1:08:14
going to win outright Brawn, but I'm going to agree with you that
1:08:18
they're going to lease be within eleven and a half.
1:08:21
I mean, clearly, we saw last week that against a against a
1:08:30
good Texas Tech offense that the Longhorns are hemorrhaging
1:08:33
points, where TCU played a very good Iowa, State Defense and put
1:08:38
30 plus on, or put 30 plus points on them.
1:08:43
I think. Man.
1:08:46
Yeah. TCU with the points I am going
1:08:49
to see them covering that you're calling out, right when.
1:08:53
Yeah. And play the money line, let me
1:08:56
just you know, I'm trying to get Tom fired.
1:09:04
I don't know, man, cam gets fired and, you know, we go, when
1:09:09
the ACC them bastards liable to sneak up in the Blacksburg,
1:09:15
here's 200 million dollars, be our coach.
1:09:18
And if that happened then, yeah, that's tough to turn down.
1:09:22
It's true. Alright.
1:09:24
Alright, final game, definitely the biggest game of the weekend
1:09:27
number for Georgia number eight Auburn between the hedges.
1:09:31
Saturday night, ESPN 7, 30 Georgia is laying, let's see.
1:09:38
You put the line in here, a few minutes ago, six and a half.
1:09:42
Brian, you load the last one. I'm going to leave this one.
1:09:46
And I told you earlier this week and I'm still sticking by this
1:09:49
at this, this is a smelly ass line, smelly-ass line.
1:09:54
And I'm trying to figure out why it so much.
1:09:57
When we saw Georgia with our own eyes in the first half against a
1:10:02
terrible Arkansas, I mean, look like a bulldog shit, literally
1:10:08
look like bull, dog, shit, and they come back and win.
1:10:13
And then we see Auburn who's playing as we know from the bowl
1:10:16
game. A very solid Kentucky team
1:10:19
really good defensively Terry Wilson's, Back offenses.
1:10:23
And never going to probably be exactly what it is.
1:10:25
They lose, 29:13 in the line, six-and-a-half Georgia, if you
1:10:31
ask me after those those out of been like that's gonna be like a
1:10:33
two and a A half, maybe a three point five but six and a half
1:10:36
and I know JT Daniels. They say is back transfer from
1:10:41
USC. Yep.
1:10:43
Got it. Got it approved in like two
1:10:44
weeks. Baa baa baa.
1:10:51
But this is a problem and I'm and I'm gonna say this, I think
1:10:57
it's going to be a war. I think Georgia is going to win
1:11:03
in the last few minutes of this game, but they're not going by
1:11:06
more than a touchdown. Give me Auburn.
1:11:09
Give me the six and a half points.
1:11:13
Okay. I'm right there with you man.
1:11:19
This thing smells like this Vegas.
1:11:21
Know that Auburn is going to be missing someone that we don't
1:11:23
know about. You can buy a phone X and the
1:11:27
the stud wide receiver, both out, man.
1:11:48
You know. Just for shits and giggles.
1:11:53
I'm going to take Georgia to see if I can gain a game on you
1:11:56
here. Yeah, Giggles, I think it's
1:12:03
going to be it's going to be a one score game.
1:12:05
I think ugh of Might squeak by, but I'm going to say they
1:12:10
squeaked by on a late touchdown, versus a late field goal.
1:12:12
So let's go. Go, go, let's go.
1:12:15
Uh-huh. And as we already stated earlier
1:12:19
a prediction for the Virginia Tech and do you game Bronson's
1:12:26
4220, I say 124 Prime, what you smoking this weekend, man.
1:12:36
I went to Aldi, they had some some sirloin roast on sale.
1:12:41
So I got a couple of those bad boys, going to sear them off,
1:12:45
then leave them at 225 for about an hour and a half.
1:12:49
Then just close add a and let them get up to about 130 and
1:12:55
then slice them up. So it's going to be going to be
1:12:56
some good eats. Probably will come up with
1:12:59
something to do sidewise, to kind of, kind of a company there
1:13:03
but maybe some potato skins or something like that.
1:13:06
So, should be some good eats for for game day, man.
1:13:10
I'm looking forward to it. Very nice, man.
1:13:13
Anything breaking other than San Diego, hit another home.
1:13:16
Run in the bottom of the eighth and now they're up 7:49.
1:13:21
We actually got a good game on Thursday night despite the 20,
1:13:25
and three matchups here. So I'm happy people that likes a
1:13:32
is a terrible game. No one will watch, which is
1:13:34
gonna be worth, that's what happens.
1:13:36
You get it. Highly entertaining football
1:13:38
game on Thursday nights and you know, for those people out there
1:13:42
who are celebrating the down, the ratings for certain Sports,
1:13:48
well, here's my piece on that and you know, go a little bit
1:13:52
out of the box for it. One thing that you're probably
1:13:56
seeing any downward Trend in ratings That's it's been going
1:13:59
for the last few years, is streaming services.
1:14:01
I stream you stream my neighbor to my left streams, my neighbor
1:14:06
down the street streams. The other piece is this, if
1:14:11
games are getting hit, you're seeing an abundance of sports on
1:14:15
TV at any one period of time. Last night yesterday, you had
1:14:19
eight baseball games along with the NBA Finals.
1:14:23
The NBA finals. Were is Miami La?
1:14:28
Yep. The Big East l.a. team, played
1:14:30
last night, baseball wise. And as much as you want to knock
1:14:34
the Miami Marlins they played last night against Chicago.
1:14:39
So, you know, there's going to be people in those markets who
1:14:43
could be fans of both that are going to go with one of the
1:14:45
other. Yeah, so the people to go out
1:14:48
there especially if you're in the business of sports media
1:14:51
attacking and shitting on these You're real moron.
1:14:58
You essentially want yourself to be out of a job?
1:15:01
Yeah, I mean, I'll say this because I mean, I'll say this,
1:15:03
and this is showing our consistency here.
1:15:05
We said the same thing. When the media was saying there
1:15:08
shouldn't be any false for us and we're saying the same thing.
1:15:10
Now, why are people in the media essentially, trying to
1:15:16
manufacture their own demise with these Doom and Gloom
1:15:20
situations? I can't, I can't get it.
1:15:24
Get away from it, man. Anyone that's out there,
1:15:28
actively cheering for sports to have low ratings so that their
1:15:35
political opinion looks more favorable.
1:15:39
Like what are you doing, man? Like, why I want you to do
1:15:44
something. You've done this.
1:15:46
As long as I've known you. What's the line for Gilbert
1:15:49
Godfrey and Problem Child, here are more on, you're a moron.
1:15:55
You know what? You are a moron.
