[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome college football fans of the central Indiana Sports Report and the college football report with Eric and Ryan Robinson.
1:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Here today to talk some college football, we're going to review week one.
1:24
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to look ahead to week two and
1:27
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to make picks for the most important games of the weekend to us and around the country.
1:34
[SPEAKER_03]: Before I get to that guys, I want to go through the standings for our Central Indiana Sports Report Media picks competition and you guys did pretty well the first week.
1:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, tied for 24th is our Pacer's report guy, Mike Rich, Jay Stevens of the Kokomo Post, Kevin Hellfrick of the Action Sports Network, with 25 is Zach Carter of Key on Sports,
2:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Jeremy GIGG of White River broadcasting 27 Grant Shouse of the Action Sports Network and our IU guy has 29 Ryan Robinson you are currently in 7th place with 30 Daniel Bragg of Bragg Sports Media 31 will run the third has 35 pride with Cody Emerson of the Green Castle banner graphic I am an I'd for second place.
2:29
[SPEAKER_03]: with Kate Hampton of the Muncie Star Press with 37 and Eric Robinson was the man of the week 42 points Eric what about what about what I'm talking about that's why you call me the expert that's right the only thing Eric missed was Clemson Oregon State over the lost a cow and of course the Notre Dame
2:58
[SPEAKER_03]: you got every other game right for 42 points and he has a five point lead well done, Eric.
3:05
[SPEAKER_03]: And now we are going to talk about last week because we have not talked to Eric and Ryan since the Notre Dame was and I'll start with you Ryan.
3:15
[SPEAKER_03]: How disappointing of a start was it and how big of a deal is it?
3:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, potentially it could be a big deal,
3:25
[SPEAKER_01]: though each week plays out, but as far as a disappointment, it was a huge disappointment because I just felt the whole game plan was so conservative and they didn't really put the foot on the gas at all during that game until it was too late and CJ made a great comeback there in the fourth quarter.
3:46
[SPEAKER_01]: scrambling with his legs and whatnot, but we never went down field the entire game.
3:50
[SPEAKER_01]: How can you have a receiver and great house and phase on not be targeted?
3:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Great house, I don't think was targeted at all.
3:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Phase on was targeted twice and they were just quick screens right at the line of scrimmage.
4:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they ran that same play four times at two times the piece on each side of the
4:05
[SPEAKER_01]: line of scrimmage.
4:06
[SPEAKER_01]: So eventually the last time they ran it, it bit them and they got the interception Miami did, but it was a hard game to watch.
4:12
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you got Jeremiah love and jaderian price getting 16 touches.
4:18
[SPEAKER_01]: When you got a soggy field in the run game could have made the difference.
4:22
[SPEAKER_01]: But credit Miami's upfront defense, we weren't able to push them off the line and really get a running game established.
4:33
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't understand how we don't go in there and try to get the run game going.
4:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought our offensive line was garbage.
4:41
[SPEAKER_02]: They were coming into the game and they were the talk of how good the offensive line was going to be.
4:46
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought they were a disappointment and a lot of times, to me, they seemed confused.
4:52
[SPEAKER_02]: They didn't look like it came that was prepared.
4:56
[SPEAKER_02]: or coached, well-gone ended the week one.
4:58
[SPEAKER_02]: So I've disappointed, but I don't think it's a big deal because you know, you come back and you beat Texas A&M.
5:04
[SPEAKER_02]: You're one in one with the loss of the number 14 in the nation last year, we're one in one with the loss to Northern Illinois.
5:11
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's not the end of the world.
5:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're gonna find out Miami is really good.
5:17
[SPEAKER_02]: Maybe we don't get very, really good up front.
5:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I may dominate a defensive line in offensive line.
5:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I thought they did whatever they wanted.
5:24
[SPEAKER_03]: That was a project.
5:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Then receivers just really made plays.
5:27
[SPEAKER_03]: My amines receivers were very impressive.
5:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And maybe we underestimated the ACC.
5:35
[SPEAKER_01]: For the state looked fantastic, Climps, and obviously they'll bounce back from that list against LSU.
5:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And then Miami looked really good Sunday night.
5:44
[SPEAKER_01]: So maybe we underestimated the ACC this year.
5:49
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll be talking about a couple of ACC teams coming up here.
5:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Eric, is it good to have a week off this week?
5:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Or would you prefer to be played?
5:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd rather see him play.
6:01
[SPEAKER_02]: That loss can linger for two weeks.
6:04
[SPEAKER_02]: I'd rather just be over with on two days and go ahead and get into the gang prep for week two.
6:09
[SPEAKER_02]: But I'm not overly concerned with it.
6:13
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we're going to find out my Amy's really good.
6:15
[SPEAKER_02]: Another day, it's really good.
6:17
[SPEAKER_02]: You come back and you don't show up, and you're not prepared for A&M.
6:21
[SPEAKER_02]: And you know, you're staring down, no, and to out, you're in trouble.
6:27
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought I would start going to and win 10 games in a row.
6:30
[SPEAKER_03]: They're probably getting into the playoffs.
6:33
[SPEAKER_02]: Probably because they're no der day, but I don't think they should.
6:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I think a two-loss Notre Dame team gets left out in my opinion.
6:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they'll just gang up on a two-loss Notre Dame.
6:45
[SPEAKER_01]: More than they're going to gang up on a two-loss Ohio State or two-loss Texas or LSU.
6:51
[SPEAKER_01]: just for the fact they're not in a conference.
6:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And there are two classes, it'd be against number four Miami and I'm not sure what A&M is this week, but they're top 15 if I remember right.
7:02
[SPEAKER_03]: That's my point.
7:06
[SPEAKER_03]: And if they win the next 10, that means that we some pretty good teams and you would think we give them a pretty good shot.
7:12
[SPEAKER_03]: It doesn't matter, we don't need to talk about that until it happens, but I said before the season,
7:18
[SPEAKER_03]: they might be ten and two and those might be the two losses.
7:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let's hope they bounce back and look a little bit more prepared against saying then what they look Sunday night against Miami because that's when they're except the word prepared like that's not probably sums it up most for me.
7:34
[SPEAKER_01]: It did not look like they were prepared for that game and they had that the entire fall to get ready for that night and it just looked like it wasn't very organized.
7:46
[SPEAKER_03]: move on to IU.
7:47
[SPEAKER_03]: We haven't gotten your thoughts on there when thoughts on the Hoosers before we get to our picks.
7:53
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to to tend you to lean a little bit against IU.
7:58
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm still a little upset over the scheduling thing.
8:00
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not going to pick up that voice.
8:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I used to have to really impress me in a 13.1 or whatever ended up being over old demand isn't going to do it for me.
8:09
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm I'm still showing a little hate on IU and who they got this week,
8:16
[SPEAKER_02]: I think we very talked about are you enough right now.
8:19
[SPEAKER_02]: I mean, wake somebody and we'll talk.
8:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I was kind of surprised at the way old Dominion was able to put pressure on the windows.
8:30
[SPEAKER_01]: In the backfill, they had him scrambling several times and you know, the score could have been a little bit different had the receiver for my you caught the wide open pass.
8:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, those have put it right in the bread basket and he dropped it so hard telling what would have happened at that point.
8:44
[SPEAKER_01]: The game had they scored that touchdown it could have gotten away from him, but I was surprised it was that close.
8:50
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure what the spread was.
8:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I know what it is this week against, it's kind of so estate.
8:55
[SPEAKER_01]: It's 35 and a half.
8:56
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm thinking the old Dominion spread was similar without maybe more.
9:01
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see what they do this week.
9:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Bounce them back.
9:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure.
9:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Signal, he's going to make some adjustments.
9:07
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll see what happens against Kinesaw State.
9:10
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, let's get to our picks.
9:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Each game is worth 10 points.
9:14
[SPEAKER_03]: One of the games, one of the teams is worth a certain amount.
9:17
[SPEAKER_03]: The underdog will be worth more than the favorite.
9:20
[SPEAKER_03]: It's to tempt you to take an upset.
9:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Here we go.
9:23
[SPEAKER_03]: We're going to start with the Hoosiers.
9:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Kinesaw State is worth 9 points.
9:30
[SPEAKER_03]: that the losers could suffer an upset.
9:32
[SPEAKER_02]: No, you know where to get beat the slam dot got you.
9:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm also going to go with I you.
9:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I mentioned just moments ago this spread 35 and a half.
9:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I use going to cover that, but keep in mind, can a self state their own one, but they almost pulled up, pulled off an upset at Wake Forest.
9:55
[SPEAKER_01]: They ended up getting beat 10 to nine Wake scored late with a less
10:00
[SPEAKER_01]: to win that game, but I think IU bounces back from kind of an ugly performance against Old Dominion, and I look for them to get Elijah Sarat, go on early in that game and get him established in the passing game.
10:12
[SPEAKER_01]: So IU.
10:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think it'll be more than 35 points, but it'll be IU.
10:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Ball State is worth nine points there, Auburn number one.
10:21
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't think much needs to be said.
10:30
[SPEAKER_02]: Just for you, Greg, but yeah, you got to check Auburn.
10:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I wore ego in this one.
10:37
[SPEAKER_01]: There's no way this will be even close.
10:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Auburn comes up with the win.
10:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Who does the ball state?
10:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I know a couple of years ago, Ball State started over and two in the SEC when they went to Kentucky and two Georgia.
10:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So you got to get Ball State credit for scheduling these games.
10:55
[SPEAKER_01]: It does huge
10:57
[SPEAKER_01]: benefit for the athletic department.
10:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I know that George again, the school got over a million dollars for that games.
11:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Chances of winning are slimming them, but what it does is it helps the school keep programs open.
11:10
[SPEAKER_01]: So this will be a slaughter and it's going to be Auburn.
11:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I agree on that one.
11:16
[SPEAKER_03]: Southern Illinois's worth nine at Purdue, which is worth one.
11:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I said Purdue's going to win four games.
11:22
[SPEAKER_03]: You guys agree with me yet?
11:27
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to go out on a limb, and I'm going to take Southern Illinois in this one, Greg.
11:35
[SPEAKER_03]: You only lose one point if you're wrong, so it's worth it.
11:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
11:43
[SPEAKER_01]: I got Purdue in this game.
11:44
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to move the two and oh, their over under was two and a half and I picked the over to start the season.
11:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're almost there in the first two weeks.
11:52
[SPEAKER_01]: And I looked for Ryan Brown to go over 300 yards again, passing for Purdue.
11:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I am taking Purdue as well, and it will be an easy win.
12:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Iowa's worst six points at, Iowa State worth four.
12:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm gonna take Iowa State to my sixth.
12:11
[SPEAKER_02]: We may be having missed the boat on the cyclone team.
12:15
[SPEAKER_02]: They're tuned out.
12:17
[SPEAKER_02]: I know we are high on State in that big 12.
12:20
[SPEAKER_02]: Watch out for Iowa State.
12:22
[SPEAKER_02]: I got them this week.
12:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I also had Iowa State in this game.
12:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think they're the better teams.
12:27
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to go to three and now Iowa last week played Albany and they had 48 yards passing.
12:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I know Russian is is their forte, but I think they had close to 300 yards on the ground, but I don't think that recipe is going to work against Iowa State.
12:43
[SPEAKER_01]: So I got the cyclans.
12:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Here's a big one guys.
12:47
[SPEAKER_03]: Illinois at Duke.
12:48
[SPEAKER_03]: I have Illinois is worth four points.
12:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Duke is worth six air.
12:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Who you got?
12:54
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm sticking with the Illinois pick I made on competing for that big tent idle.
13:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I like that team.
13:02
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm taking Illinois every week until they play Ohio State or Penn State.
13:07
[SPEAKER_02]: And I have to do some research, but I got Illinois.
13:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, it's not very fancy or sexy with me and Eric agreeing on everything, but one game so far, but I'm also going to go with Illinois.
13:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be too much all my or at quarterback, the spreads two and a half.
13:24
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think it's going to be a close game, but I think the Eli and I come out with a win.
13:30
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm taking Duke.
13:31
[SPEAKER_03]: I just can't take Illinois seriously.
13:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I have an inability to take Illinois seriously.
13:39
[SPEAKER_03]: It's like any time anyone brings up Ole Miss,
13:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Next time on with miss when something will be the first time.
13:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Speaking of Ole Miss, they are at Kentucky Ole Miss worth three.
13:52
[SPEAKER_03]: Kentucky worth seven Eric.
13:55
[SPEAKER_02]: I think this is going to be a close game.
13:57
[SPEAKER_02]: But I don't know why I do this every week with this team.
14:00
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm picking Ole Miss and I'll continue to do it.
14:04
[SPEAKER_02]: And I'll let it fight me in the butt like four or five times.
14:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I fall for it every time.
14:09
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me length kissing.
14:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
14:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I hate to say give me Lane Kiffin, but I don't think Kentucky's got the team to compete in this game.
14:21
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be a pretty lopsided win for Ole Miss.
14:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Anybody want to guess who I have?
14:27
[SPEAKER_01]: You got Kentucky, no doubt.
14:28
[SPEAKER_01]: I got Kentucky.
14:30
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll take Kentucky at home.
14:31
[SPEAKER_03]: They always compete at home.
14:35
[SPEAKER_03]: Bailer is at SMU in a in-state contest.
14:39
[SPEAKER_03]: Bailer is worth seven points.
14:41
[SPEAKER_03]: SMU worth three.
14:43
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just going to tell you, I'm taking SMU.
14:44
[SPEAKER_03]: I like this team again, Eric.
14:47
[SPEAKER_02]: Bailer, they were disappointing in the last two Auburn.
14:52
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think they could play with SMU.
14:57
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going with the Bailer Bears.
14:59
[SPEAKER_01]: they come here and lose in that first game in a close contest with Auburn.
15:04
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they can go in and upset at some you.
15:07
[SPEAKER_01]: If you guys follow the game last week, as some you played East Texas A&M, without they had two picks, six, as otherwise, that was a 28 to 13 ball game.
15:16
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I think Baylor's going to go in there and sneak one out.
15:22
[SPEAKER_03]: I could see it happening for sure.
15:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Michigan goes to Oklahoma.
15:26
[SPEAKER_03]: I have Michigan worth four points.
15:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Oklahoma worth six.
15:32
[SPEAKER_02]: Erica, you got taken up, Oklahoma.
15:36
[SPEAKER_02]: Not impressed with the quarterback play yet with Michigan.
15:39
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.
15:40
[SPEAKER_02]: I like him.
15:41
[SPEAKER_02]: I know that.
15:41
[SPEAKER_02]: Hey, there's huge potential there.
15:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't, you know, I like Oklahoma at home.
15:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I also picked Oklahoma.
15:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think it's going to be too much offense against Michigan.
15:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I know under what's probably going to have a decent game, but that's a pretty tough environment to go in as a as a true freshman.
16:00
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Oklahoma holds on in a close game and wins.
16:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to take Michigan, but my pick of Michigan to win the big tin looks too hooped after one week.
16:13
[SPEAKER_03]: Not just because Michigan didn't look very good, but because the others did.
16:19
[SPEAKER_03]: Arizona State weren't for at Mississippi State worth six.
16:24
[SPEAKER_03]: Either of you will have to take the bulldogs.
16:26
[SPEAKER_03]: I am not.
16:27
[SPEAKER_02]: This game will be a blowout.
16:29
[SPEAKER_02]: Arizona State.
16:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I got Arizona State to is gonna be too much Sam love it.
16:36
[SPEAKER_01]: This will be over early.
16:39
[SPEAKER_03]: I disagree with you guys that it's gonna be a blowout but I'm definitely taking Arizona State.
16:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Boston College worth six at Michigan State worth four.
16:48
[SPEAKER_03]: The Spartans did not look good last week.
16:51
[SPEAKER_02]: Crow Grant, man, they haven't really fallen.
16:54
[SPEAKER_02]: Give me Boston College on the road.
16:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I also picked Boston College, even though Michigan State's a five and a half point favor in this, I just think it's gonna be too much dilling longer again at quarterback for Boston College.
17:08
[SPEAKER_01]: They go on the road and beat the Michigan State team that I said would be the most disappointing and the big 10 this year.
17:16
[SPEAKER_03]: And our final game is a bonus game every week.
17:21
[SPEAKER_03]: Winkers rice doesn't look like he's going to be a He's going to be a Heisman trophy candidate.
17:26
[SPEAKER_03]: He did have 50 yards in the first half against Oklahoma, which is a pretty good outing, but they suffered the shut out loss.
17:33
[SPEAKER_03]: Guys, you're not going to pick against the red birds, are you?
17:37
[SPEAKER_02]: I would love to just for rating.
17:42
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we'll take Winkers in that home opener.
17:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going a Winkersry over a hundred yards on the ground and a big win for Illinois State.
17:53
[SPEAKER_03]: And the Red Birds are ranked seventh in the nation by the way in FCS and I think they're fifth in the conference, so for that conference is ridiculously good.
18:03
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the first conference game though, and that it is MBC.
18:08
[SPEAKER_01]: It is indeed a confident opening.
18:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Gotta get this one.
18:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Thanks so much, guys, it was a lot of fun.
18:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I think the Irish are gonna lose the Texas A&M and still get in the playoffs.
18:18
[SPEAKER_03]: That was my prediction in the preseason.
18:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I like it.
18:21
[SPEAKER_03]: It's absurd, then I like it.
18:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, if that gets him in the college football play off, I'll go along with you.
