  Speaker 1: Let's look at Texas A & M and Arizona State. Again,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: this preview presented by PrizePix. We've got a matchup guide
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: for you guys here on College Football Addiction. Make sure
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: that you are subscribed. We will continue to do these
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: episodes once a week where we break down two, three,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: four games a week and talk to you a little
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: bit more in depth on them. A & M with
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: their first real test of the season. Arizona State, a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: team that was really, really hot a couple years ago.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: they're not playing with quite the same firepower out there
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: at this moment.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Are they? I mean, look, man, if we're talking firepower,
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Cam Scadavu was a nuclear weapon, brother.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: The guy that's in LSU, in Baton Rouge right now, too,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: is out of there and Tyson and everybody else.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, it is.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was pretty much a layup there of a question.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, the other thing is that, you know,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: we just talked about that Texas-Ohio State game, and Relique
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: Brown is going to play for Texas in that game
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: at running back after having a ton of yardage at
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Arizona State. So, you know, I do think that this
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: is one of those where I do believe that Kenny
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Dillingham is– very good at his job and like understands
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: his place in college football and sort of builds and
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: workshops his roster to replace production year after year.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: The, you know, I don't see them going.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: Back to the college football playoff this season, but I
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: don't see Texas A & M going back to the
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: college football playoff this season either. So it's an interesting
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: spot because I, I've kind of had it on my
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: like to do agenda all off season and, to fade
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Texas A & M early, and this is the first
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: real opportunity to do that with 14 and a hook
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: sitting out there. So it's just– it becomes a question
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: of how do I feel about Arizona State? Do they
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: have enough just like pure athletes to deal with what
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: A & M has in a game like this?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: When you look at A & M, we haven't really
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: talked about them big picture yet, first big game that
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: they're playing. Thoughts on– let's do two things. Let's two-parter here.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Thoughts on quarterback for them, how much you think he
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: may have taken a step, Marcel, from year over year,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: or was he maybe at his ceiling last year? How
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: would you assess what you expect out of him this year?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And then on the other side, they brought in some
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: talent on the defensive line, but they also are replacing
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: just an absolute elite freak in Cassius Howell. Just thoughts on,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: can those two units, which maybe you just kind of
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: gave us a preview of saying they won't go back
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to the playoff this year or may not go back
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to the playoff this year. Can those two units be
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: anything close to what they were? They obviously lose a
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: great wide receiver in Contepcion. They bring some guys in.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: How do you evaluate them just from a total talent
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: perspective compared to last year?
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's... Marcel Reed is... Excuse me.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Sorry.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I've got to.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: The ons tonight. Marcel Reed is just extremely enigmatic, man.
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: He is.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: And I don't know what to do with him all
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: the time if I'm being totally frank. Because there are
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: moments where you're like, yeah, I can see it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: It feels good. It looks nice. This is solid. And
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: there's others where you're just like, man, what is it
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: going to look like?
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I think that what it looks like and what worked
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: for A & M last year was it seemed like
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: they were able to just kind of live off of
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: explosive plays, right? And if he had a game where.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: He was 17 for.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: 36, the 17 would add up to 280 yards and
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns. That's how they beat Notre Dame on the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: road last year. And they were able to do that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: because those receivers were so good. Week one, I will
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: say in favor of Marcel, just kind of looking at
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: some of his passing charts, The downfield stuff was not
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: as good, right? He's, he's one of five downfield of
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: 20 plus yards. Some of that I think was on
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: like not great execution from the receivers, but that's a
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: problem for him. Cause that's really what he does best. He,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: I think is improving in the quick game in certain ways,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: but like we, I mean, we saw them struggle for
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: a little while last week, right? Like they kind of
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: screwed around for a half, against a bad opponent.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: And I think that the.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Marcel Reed experience is probably going to continue to be, Hey,
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: you better be good enough on defense and in other
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: places to navigate 20 to 25 minutes of a cold
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: stretch and not find yourself out of the game and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: like unable to be balanced whenever he does sort of
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: find his rhythm again. So I look at Marcel Reed
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the same way I look at like a, the top
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: three-point shooter on a mid-table, mid-American conference college basketball team that,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: you know, is making a run in March in a
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: conference tournament. Like, if, you know, Joey Dugan can come in,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: seventh guy off the bench, and give you, like, five
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: of eight from three, then you can maybe knock off
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: the one seed in the quarterfinals and go dance and
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: and just have sort of a magical night. But if
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: your plan to be the one seed coming into the
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: tournament is that Joey Dugan's got to go five of
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: eight from three every night, you're probably going to get
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: fired at the end of the year.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: So I'm not saying Mike Elko is getting fired, but.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I just don't know that Marcel Reed brings a high
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: enough floor week to week to just feel good about hey,
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: we're Texas A & M and we're going to go
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: out and we're going to play, I don't know, Missouri
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: this week or South Carolina or one of your mid-table
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: SEC teams and know that you should just win that game.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: As far as A & M' s receivers, we just kind
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: of talked about, I think I've sort of foreshadowed my
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: take there. That's a huge drop-off in my opinion. I
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: will say Isaiah Horton is really good. That part is not... Actually,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: I shouldn't say it's a huge drop-off. It's not a
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: huge drop-off, but the Terry Bussey thing, I love Terry
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Bussey as a recruit. I think he's a really good player.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know that he can replace Casey Concepcion in
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: a one-for-one scenario. I think Craver and Horton is a
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: pretty nasty little duo on the outside, but they got
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: to find ways to to get Reed, I think comfortable
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: enough in some of those like crosser type situations with
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: bussy out of the slot, or even with some of
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: their speedier running backs to, to workshop all of this
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: in a way where like he can hit angle routes for,
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: you know, a touchdown on, on third and four from
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: the plus 36 yard line.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: Right. Like that's, that's what magic looks like. So I am,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm kind of talking to myself into, but.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I, I do, I do think that when it looks good,
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: it's going to look really good. And it could be
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: easy to sort of get sucked in onto that rabbit
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: hole and think it's going to look that good every week.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: But I don't love what they lost on the offensive line.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: And that, The theme of the show, right? If you
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: win the trenches. I do think that A & M' s
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: offensive line.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Took a pretty big step back and experienced talent. Otherwise,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: they have good coaches. Elko is a line.
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: Of scrimmage guy. I think he prioritizes that part of
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: their roster.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: But I wonder a little bit what happens if they
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: get into a game where Reid, despite his mobility... is
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: not able to sit in the pocket and sort of
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: leave the pocket by choice. He's starting to leave the
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: pocket by necessity. Cause right now in 2025, he was
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: in a place where he left the pocket by choice
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: just as much as he did because he needed to,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: if not more, if he starts having to leave by necessity,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: he strikes me as the type of guy who could
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: try and bite off more than he can chew in
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: certain scenarios and throw some crippling interceptions. So, um, I,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I do think that like the, when it's good and
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: he's getting protected, um, It needs to be really good,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: and I don't know that I trust that.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: What does Arizona State do, or what will they be
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: able to do? Because I think a lot of what
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: you're talking about are... I don't expect A & M
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to drop this game, right?
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: No.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: Is there a path? I think a lot of what
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you're talking about is how a game remains closer or
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: a spread is not covered. I don't know how much
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Elko cares about covering the spread. But if you're looking
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: at it from that angle, that's probably... what you're asking
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: about for this game, I think a lot of what
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you're talking about is what is going to plague them
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: big picture. When they play the Texases and when they
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: play the, I guess they're going to play LSU in
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, when they play Tennessee in College Station.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: But what about for Arizona State specifically? Are there things
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: that you have confidence that they'll be able to do?
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: You talk about the talent. Obviously, I don't think Arizona
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: State has the, I don't have to think, Arizona State
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: does not have the level of talent that A &
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: M does as far as a caliber of athlete across
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the roster. But what are the things that they can
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: do to make this a game?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to give you some interesting stats here.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: So let's start on the A & M side real quick.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Last week, who did they play?
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: Sorry, give me one second.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Missouri State. Sorry, I was about to say Morgan State,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: but that's who Arizona State played. Too many teams that
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: we don't really know.
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Unfortunately, we're moving into week two now, baby.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: We're getting some priors.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I'll get right back to the video, but first I
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: want to give some love to our friends over at PrizePix.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: There's a ton on the PrizePix app right now that
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: you can go get. There was a free play tonight
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: here on Wednesday night for Sam Darnold. There have been
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: free plays for all this NFL opening weekend stuff that
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you can find. And then, of course, why we're here,
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: college football. Whether you're looking for Jeremiah Smith or Arch
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Manning or you're looking for Satanga at Oklahoma, or you're
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: looking for something with Michigan because you want to take
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: a less. Whatever you're looking for, they've got you taken
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: care of. We showed a lot of love to Faison
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: Brandon tonight. You can go look at his lines against
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. Go check out the more or less options
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that you've got over on the PrizePix app. All new
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: users there who play $ 5 and win that first lineup
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: using code H, you may get $ 150 in lineups instantly.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: We appreciate PrizePix for their support. Go check them out.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: You look at the A & M offensive line last week,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: and they– They moved some different guys around, right, as
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: far as, you know, they did some different things at tackle. But, like,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: they trotted out Wilkin Fornby, who played for Alabama last
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: year and was a massive liability in that offensive line
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: for large parts of their SEC season, both in run
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: and pass block. Like, he played more snaps at one
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: of the tackle positions than anybody else. The guy that
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: split time with him, he gave up a pressure– against
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Missouri State in very few pass block reps.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Their starting center, he was fine.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Their other tackle, the guy that played full time, he
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: gave up.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: A pressure in that game. Ball at guard gave.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Up a pressure to Missouri State. Blake Ivey at the
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: other guard position gave up a pressure to Missouri State.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: So you're talking about four or five offensive linemen giving
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: up pressures to Missouri State. Is that predictive or did
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: they just, you know, get bored. I guess we'll find
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: out in the long run. But to me, I do
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: think that if you're giving up, like I remember covering
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Georgia's early games last year and being like, wow, like
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Gunner Stockton's getting hit.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: That's not great.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: And then Gunner Stockton kind of got sped up and
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: then he got comfortable again.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: And when they lost through Bobo late in the year,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: he got sped up again.
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: And I think that costs them the ability to, to
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: do some things late in the season when they got
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs and, I don't know that this will
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: be the same case for A & M on Saturday
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: against Arizona State, but I do look at Arizona State
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: and what they did last week. Jalen Thompson, the Michigan
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: State transfer, had a whale of a game. Four pressures
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: and a sack, hit the quarterback twice. That's what they
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: can do to answer your question, is they can have
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: a good game pass rush-wise. And if you really look
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: at what they did last week, that was the thing
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: that they did the best was, was, was rushed the
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: passer from the interior and from.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: The edges, their edges. They had, wow.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: One, two, three, four, five, six edges recorder pressure in
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: that game. And four of those guys recorded multiple pressures.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: So I like that to me feels like their chance. And,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: and it's the conversation that we just had, right? Like
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: this is all circular shit. If the, If the pass
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: rush can get home a little bit, then that probably
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: does protect Arizona State secondary. Maybe not as talented as
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: most that A & M will see against Horton and
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Craver and Bussey.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Bussey's the one.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: That I think could be the game breaker, you know,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: just in those little underneath shorter routes that are harder
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: to cover. But that will help them tremendously on the
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: boundaries with Craver and Horton if those guys can get
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: home up front.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: And I think they can. I think they will some, honestly.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: And I think that there's a good chance that this
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: game can stay a little bit closer than some would
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: expect it to.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Cutter Boley went off last week. And, again, we've talked
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: about this with every game that we've previewed because nobody–
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that we previewed this week played a good team. I
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: guess with the exception of Georgia tech, I don't know
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: that I'd call Colorado a great team, but probably the best.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: It's a loose definition of the word good.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: But compared to everybody else, the other five opponents, you know,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: Colorado would be the champion of the, uh, of the
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: opponents that we've, uh, that we've previewed so far. Um, gosh,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I hope the pro, I hope the coach prime fans
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: follow you, uh, and, and hear that. Um, well, But
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: Bully had a good game last week. Again, it's going
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: to be very different against an A & M defense.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt. But I mean, hitting guys is hitting guys,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: you know, and I don't care who it's against. I mean,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: if I'm going to praise Faison for doing it against Furman,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: then I'm going to praise Bully for doing it against
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: a bad opponent too, you know, or a lesser opponent.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: So can they replicate the success that they had offense?
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, Still, Arizona State, not one of the premier
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: power four teams that's expected. Not even really a premier
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: Big 12 team. They're picked bottom half of the league
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: this year. 70 points is 70 points. Can they replicate
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: some level of success? I'm not expecting them to go
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: score 35 this weekend, but can they score multiple touchdowns
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: in this game and just, again, get a little defensive
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: line pressure, score a few times, see what happens in
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: the fourth quarter type of game?
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: I think the good news for Arizona State if you're
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: hoping that they'll have success in this game is that
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: the stuff they did last week, like it wasn't, yeah.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Bully only had one completion of 20 plus yards downfield,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: which I know that might sound like, Oh, they're not explosive,
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: but there's a lot of variance in throwing downfield, especially
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: against a team like A & M, you know, like
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: he put together a good, accurate, like drive builder type
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: throws that allow you to move down the field and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: consistent chunks, which is, ultimately the most sustainable path to
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: offensive success in my opinion.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: So that's great.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: The problem, I think a little bit in that game
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: is like they had insane amounts of, of yardage off
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: of just like screens. And I mean, they had 197
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: yards at 16.4 yards per attempt for two touchdowns. When
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: cutter bully was throwing behind the line of scrimmage last week,
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: like that's not replicable at all in this game. So, That,
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: to me, the answer is probably a little bit in
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the middle.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: They do have some good twitch, right?
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I was impressed with what Reed Harris did in that
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: game last week. There was some other stuff that felt
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: a little bit more anomalous, like throwing to your halfback
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: twice for 110 yards and two touchdowns is just not
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: something that's going.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: To happen a ton.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: But I think they will– find a way to workshop
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: some offense. Like, Omarion Miller is a good enough receiver
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: to do some damage. He had 800 yards at Colorado
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: last year. Reed Harris is a talented receiver, I think.
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: And past that, you know, I mean, it will come
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: down to can.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: They make a little bit of hay running the football?
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: Not a lot, but, like, that's where Cutter Bully, I think,
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: is really going to have to be brave in this
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: game for lack of a better term is he is
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: a guy that is talented with his legs and can
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: do things on the ground and I think that they
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: need him to probably take off at times and just
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: stick his nose up the middle of the defense and
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: get five yards if the defensive tackles get kicked out
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: a little bit wide and just kind of manage things
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: in that way.
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: I liked him at Kentucky. I thought he was talented.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: That project didn't really finish obviously there in his home
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: state but we've seen Dillingham have a really good track
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: record with these types of quarterback situations, and I think
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: that he'll play within himself on Saturday, and I think
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: that he'll play respectable and well.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Are you taking the points?
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I'm taking the points.
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: Talk yourself into it?
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: Talk myself into it. I'm taking Arizona State. That hook
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: is huge, though, man.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, the hook is where it's at. Don't if
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: you like this game, then don't, don't let that hook
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: get away from you. You know, cause I, I don't
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: know if it'll sit there all week.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you, is it, is it uncomfortable for A
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: & M or do they win comfortably? But that's just
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: a big number this early in the year.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Oh, I think it's, I do think it's uncomfortable for
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: a little while. Like I'm not saying it's, you know,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: they got to pull it out of the fire with
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: five minutes to go in the fourth type of situation. But,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: I would not be shocked if this game is like
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: three or four points at halftime and people are on
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the internet being like, well, like I guess A &
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: M' s fraudulent and you know, Marcel Reed sucks in that
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: message board geniuses account is just ripping off screenshots from.
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: Tech sags like that. If, if, if that fits your
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: definition of uncomfortable, then yeah.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: Old takes exposed, like saves a bunch of people's tweets.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Are you in there?
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. That's the first thing I looked through. I,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: thumbed through the whole thing and I was like, TJ, TJ, TJ.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: All right, very good. Am I in there? I don't know.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't look for you. I was just looking at mine.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: They've got all the names, like all the notes to
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: all the pages in the back. So I just looked
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: under Pittenger. I'll have to look through this tonight. I'll
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: find out if you're in here. Gottlieb's in here. So yeah,
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: you're probably good. Oh, that's G.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: No.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: Let's see. I'm not looking through that whole thing right now. Yeah,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: but I will look tonight.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: This is good television, dude.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: He's reading a book by the Freezing Cold Takes Twitter account.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: But shout out my guy, Fred Siegel, for writing that
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: and sending me one. But, yeah, I'll take A &
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: M to cover. That hook does scare me. I might
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: wait until kickoff just because, you know, if it goes
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: to 15, then who cares? You know, what's the difference? But, yeah,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: I might wait until closer to kickoff just to see
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: what it is. I might go first half, you know.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: That's probably like seven or eight. And I could see
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: it being close-ish for a half, and then I think
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: A & M just kind of has the athletes. You
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: made a good point about Reid. He may have those
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: spurts where it's not perfect for a little while. I
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: think eventually he's probably going to break out in this
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: game and extend it. Now, what is Arizona State able
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: to do to answer? That'll be what we find out.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: But I do think that I'll ride with A &
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: M on this to eventually put it away and cover,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: but The hook does scare me.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: I think that Reed kind of gets, you know, I
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: think he's a little sporadic early, gets hit some, is
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: under duress at times. And I think eventually over time,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Arizona State's offense is not going to.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: Be able to stay on the field enough. Right.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: And their defense will wear down and Marcel Reed or
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Bussey breaks a big run after the catch or a
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: big run out of the pocket or something like that
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: happens late. pocket breaks down and somebody sucks up in
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: the secondary and, and they, you know, put it away
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and everybody breathes a big sigh of relief and they
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: win by 10, but it wasn't really even that, you know,
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: it was a little closer than that in reality.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Graham, where can people follow you? Where can they find
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: your work? What all you got going on? I know
• 21:59
