Tag. But before we get into Perdue football talk, NBA season is back
0:30
Boys, Celtics, Dak, why don't you just give us your initial reaction
0:35
to the game just wrapped up, love your shirt, best team ever?
0:41
Oh my god, they might go eighty two and oh the Niggas they still
0:46
beat them. Oh my god. Let's see. Let me look through this
0:50
text chain. When we were waiting for you eight twenty two, ready for
0:55
after this shitty game, was your exacts. It was a rep job.
1:00
Oh okay, awesome. If you haven't gotten to know Dak yet, he's
1:04
known for his just awesome and solid takes. Uh huh. I'm ready to
1:11
watch Wemby. Man, that's why we have to record right as the Spurs
1:14
gets started. I got it. I recorded that game. That's gonna be
1:19
awesome. First first shot of the game by the man bocks Wemby blocked it
1:25
hopefully hopefully, Kyrie God, he is so crazy. To watch this NBA
1:33
season, guys, it's gonna be fun. I think there's just a lot
1:36
of parody from a lot of different angles. And I know We all three
1:42
watched the NBA quite a bit here, and obviously when it gets the playoff
1:46
time is the most fun. But it's good for it to be back.
1:51
It's it's a very long season, but I wouldn't shorten it one bit.
1:56
There are some changes this year. I think. Isn't there the mid season
2:00
tournament or whatever. I'm excited for the Stern Cup. Man, I'm not
2:05
even sure. What do you mean? You're not sure? I'm not even
2:07
sure how they're gonna like, how do you like? It's kind of weird.
2:12
It's like middle of the season, isn't it. So it's basically like
2:15
group play, so that you're they're pre assigned in the buckets in every regular
2:19
season game in November accounts for group play. And then there's a mini tournament
2:23
in Vegas at the end of it. I don't remember what the I think
2:27
the winner just gets cash. That's all it is, cash, huh.
2:32
I love it something different. We do have to give our predictions for the
2:38
NBA season. We already know who Dak has win in the Eastern Conference,
2:43
but just overall thoughts on teams that you're looking forward to watching, and then
2:53
let's give a Western and an Eastern Conference winner and a champion DAK. Since
3:02
your answer is very obvious, go ahead, Honestly the team I want to
3:07
watch the most, most of the heat. I'm gonna watch kil Martin all
3:12
season long because that guy, that guy ripped my heart out last season,
3:15
and last I checked, he's over for tonight. God damnit. He pisses
3:21
me off. So you're just hoping he fails. Oh no, Actually I
3:25
hope he balls out because if he fails on me so pissed. What you
3:30
hope he balls down? If I hope he balls out, balls out.
3:37
If he sucks, I swear to God, well he'd are plus eleven hundred
3:43
odds to win the East. Your Celtics are the favorite at plus one seventy
3:46
bucks, right behind him a plus one ninety. Are you taking the Celtics
3:51
out of the East, Yes, sir, I already have it. Already
3:55
have it. I have them coming out of the East. And now the
4:00
last probably Nuggets again is too good. That was fun to watch last night
4:08
too. Being a big Lebron fan, I didn't expect to win that game
4:13
as the Lakers, but the Nuggets look like they're picking up right where they
4:17
left off. The Nuggets and Sons are both favorites to win the West,
4:20
and Lakers and the Warriors or the next two teams right after that. But
4:27
I mean, I think it's a two man race at the top there in
4:29
the West as well. You're taking your Celtics over the Nuggets for the NBA
4:34
Finals champion. Oh no doubt? Four oh four? Oh Austin, what's
4:44
your thoughts? Austin's not here, maybe he's frozen. I don't know.
4:54
I will go while we wait for him. The team. I want to
5:00
excited to watch Dak And maybe you don't even know this about me, but
5:02
I want to watch the Thunder. I'm pumped to watch the Thunders. They're
5:06
young, SGA gonna lead them to I think a run that not many people
5:13
are expecting. They have a lot of young, unshown talent, and I
5:20
think they can they can make a little run for it in the West.
5:24
Not saying they're gonna win the West, but look to them to be maybe
5:27
a top four or five seed in the West. I think this might be
5:33
the Lakers Lebron's one last hurrah that he's got left here to make a run
5:42
for it. Wouldn't it be a story? I just don't know that they
5:45
have enough depth still to contend to win the West. That is very loaded
5:51
up top. Give me the Suns, though, give me the Suns for
5:56
something different. I like Bonni. It's Monni. Williams still there even there
6:00
he get fired. No, it's Frank. I think it's Frank Vogel.
6:04
No, no, at the Suns. Yeah, is it? I think
6:10
you're right it is. It is now Frank Vogel. So we'll see.
6:13
Williams is the highest paid coach in the league at Detroit. Detroit. To
6:17
give me the Pistons to win it all in the East, no kidding,
6:23
Uh, give me, give me the Suns over. Oh, give me
6:30
the Suns over the sixers. You get get Doc out of there. Which,
6:34
by the way, guys, I don't know if you listened to him,
6:38
that was rough. In my mind, that was that was tough to
6:40
listen to. Travesty Van Gundy is gone. It was almost like Doris was
6:47
trying to like help him. Doris was just, oh my goodness, that
6:53
technical on porzingis. You would have thought that someone shot someone based on how
6:58
Doris was reacting over the top. It's like, okay, guys, that
7:02
these kind of calls happen every NBA game like it was a flop. I
7:10
totally agree, but there was a blood drawn, So I'm taking Suns over
7:15
Sixers. Austin, what are your thoughts, Gosh, I'm torn teams.
7:26
I'm most excited to watch Indiana Pacers slam that over. Definitely gonna get way
7:30
over the thirty seven and a half or thirty eight and a half whatever they're
7:32
at. Not gonna win the East though, definitely not taking them to win
7:38
the East. Uh. As far as teams, I'm excited to watch,
7:42
obviously, I like Giannest. I'll watch the lebron and the Lakers. I
7:46
really enjoy Tyres Halbert and the Pacers. I think this is gonna be good.
7:50
I'm excited to watch Wemby. But as far as who's gonna win it,
8:01
I mean, I think the East is probably the Bucks coming out,
8:05
and I probably have the Lakers out of the West. Oh, I love
8:13
it. We have different teams all throughout. It'll be fun to track,
8:18
and none of them's gonna It's gonna be the freaking Dallas Mavericks Aint, the
8:22
Orlando Magic Kyrie. If I have to watch him in the finals, God
8:28
damn well number two after the MAVs. I don't know. I'm not high
8:37
on the MAVs this year. I'm not. I think will get you forty
8:41
four. Yeah, you're right, there's good. Well, that's the thing
8:46
is you look at the West. Someone's gonna miss the playoffs. That's good,
8:50
like legitimately good. Only ten only eight teams make it. You know,
8:54
you run through it. Just Lakers, Clippers, Publicans, Sons,
8:58
Warriors, Grizzlies. Son already said, Son's okay, so he's gonna be
9:05
good. Minnesota Anthony Edwards. Man, Seriously, it's gonna slam some balls
9:11
this year. MVP. Who's it gonna be this year? Oh? Yo,
9:22
Kic? I think I think he'll should have won it last year.
9:30
But yeah, Jokic, I agree. Yeah, it's hard, hard to
9:39
say anything. It gives that. Here's my bold prediction. I feel really
9:43
bad to every Duggets face because I'm just gonna jinx it. Jokic is going
9:46
to get hurt. So it's all that starts right in the off season.
9:52
Not enough stretching, sorry j Bonde, But Jokic is getting hurt, and
9:58
I think it's going back to Giannis is here and the Bucks with Damian Liller
10:07
being added, I could see them not giving it to him. We'll see,
10:11
all right, enough NBA talk for now, Dak. You'll be giving
10:15
the Celtics updates. I'm sure throughout the next few months. Oh yeah,
10:20
every game. How many games is before Christops gets hurt? See that might
10:26
be he might get her in practice, so maybe zero. Don't worry.
10:31
The Celtics have six starters. First, Okay, we're moving on. No
10:41
more NBA. We're done with NBA. We're done. I can two pods
10:45
on NBA. Man Husker football, that's what we're here for again, guys.
10:50
We're having a year. We are four and three, the first time
10:56
we are above five hundred since like it's like days or something. I was
11:01
like twenty eighteen or nineteen sometime in there was the last time we were above
11:05
five hundred. And we get to play the Perdue boiler Makers at home in
11:13
potentially the snow, Dak, are you ready for this tailgate pod on Saturday?
11:20
I don't know if we If we are going to tailgate, well,
11:22
come on, it's it's my parents said they're probably not going to it's gonna
11:28
be too cold. Well then we might we might have to do a berries
11:31
pod then or something. Yeah, I'm I'm coming up there, so yeah,
11:37
i'd be down for a berries pod, find a good spot to do.
11:41
It is going to be cold, and that obviously impacts the game,
11:46
especially well, I shouldn't say especially not the way that we play. That
11:50
does the cold and rain impact the way we play? Besides, maybe we're
11:54
more prone to fumbles fumblemore impact our passing game? No, no, it
12:07
don't. It will. It definitely favors Nebraska a lot more than Purdue because
12:13
Purdue really likes to throw the ball. So it really doesn't matter what kind
12:16
of weather Nebraska plays in their offense will work what they want to do.
12:22
I don't know good, I don't know if working is the right word.
12:26
It'll yeah, I mean, it'll operate. So a lot of injury news
12:33
comes out on Monday after we did our pod, and it's nothing that was
12:39
good. We found out that even Piper and turn Recorcran, both on the
12:43
left side of that line, are both out for the year. We find
12:46
out that Noelli is out for a couple of weeks, Billy Kemp is going
12:52
to be out for a few weeks. So our receiving room that already was
12:56
banged up with injuries, is pretty much done and very young. I think
13:03
Rule said what was the quote, basically all but two players on the offense
13:09
that are going to be starting this week are under classman, so freshmen or
13:13
sophomores. Are we at all concerned about that? I guess it is the
13:18
first question. I have my thoughts, but I will Austin. I want
13:24
to hear what you think. At first. I'm not concerned. I suppose
13:30
the only concern is the offensive line injury. I'm not concerned about the youth
13:33
because it's basically been the exact same all year. I don't think we lose
13:37
that much with Billy Kemp, to be honest, we're only throwing it.
13:41
We're only completing twelve passes a game, and he's maybe catching two or three
13:45
of them, so I'm not super worried about it. Offensive Line wise,
13:48
that could be an issue, especially in a game where it puts this in
13:50
a situation where everyone's running and then they can stack the box a little bit
13:54
more and there's just a little more pressure on the offensive lineman to do better
13:58
because that's gonna be the only way to produce arts, which is the only
14:01
way we produce ards anyways, But now they can specifically game plan just for
14:05
that. Not to worry about is passing the ball. But it's tough because
14:09
the hype machine, you know behind I can't remember not Evan Janks is it
14:13
Evan Jenkins? Is that his last name? Am I thinking of the starting
14:18
center for the Tampa Bay Bucks? Whoever the freshman is that came in last
14:20
week? I don't know? People he can be a starter. So Teddy
14:26
Proosk is coming in to fill one of those spots which you feel you should
14:30
feel pretty good about. He hasn't quite gotten back to where he was a
14:33
couple of years ago. But there's a lot of a lot of like you
14:37
said, young guys, it's very complicated with the whole four game rule that
14:46
you can play. But then still red Shirt and Real talks about that a
14:52
lot. And you know that he and his staff have constant conversations about who's
15:00
using their four games and win and how, And he talked about using then
15:05
in a fourteen personnel with four tight ends in the game, but using some
15:09
of those young guys as those tight ends or maybe on special teams, like
15:11
he is thinking about that stuff constantly because my first initial thought was, who
15:16
the hell do we have left on the roster that that could play offensive line?
15:20
Right? Like, do we get to start converting defensive players to aligne
15:22
because we're losing a lot. Same thing with receivers. But there are a
15:26
lot of young guys that are either that were planning their red shirt or still
15:31
can because we have five games left, so we will see who's out there.
15:39
Dak, I feel like you're going to have a really good reason for
15:41
this. Why why are people getting hurt? I feel like you you're gonna
15:45
be able to identify the problem your trainers. You brought new coaching staff in,
15:52
brought new trainers in, go back to the old ones. Who's who's
15:56
actually going to play a wide receiver? Now? Though it won't match,
15:58
it does, doesn't matter at all, But who's gonna Who's it gonna be?
16:03
Coleman? And who I mean? I think Jayalen Lloyd is still around.
16:10
We can always we can always throw Tommy Hill in there, I mean
16:14
anywhere with an injury too though, yeah it here's my take My thought on
16:23
the injuries. One, our offense has not been great to begin with,
16:30
right, so it can't do we want to do. We wanted to get
16:34
better. Of course, do injuries to the guys that we're playing help,
16:38
No, But the guys that come in just have to come in and do
16:44
their job, and they don't. They're not gonna have to exceed expectations,
16:48
all of them. It'd be nice if a couple of them could, but
16:49
they got to come in and do their job, and once again, take
16:52
care of the ball, don't turn it over, don't throw any interceptions and
16:57
offensive lineman. Your job is to protect the quarterback right and not get blindsided.
17:03
To get to where we turn the ball over, there's not There's gonna
17:07
be a ton of miss blocks. I guarantee it, because Turner Corcoran missed
17:11
a billion blocks and now he's out. You hope that someone like Teddy can
17:15
come in and apparently he's at full strength. That's great. I'm not overly
17:21
concerned. I also I also think we could be blinded by rules mentality of
17:26
next man up, and he just keeps speaking that and we're all just believing
17:29
it. And that's great, But our offense is not gonna look good on
17:32
Saturday. It's not. We're gonna struggle to get to twenty points, just
17:37
the reality of what it's gonna be, so deal with it. If we
17:41
score more than that, it's a win. But it's going to be a
17:45
twenty to fourteen game again against an offense that's a little bit better. But
17:51
produced defense is improving with Ryan Walters coming from Illinois. That's why he got
17:56
a head coaching job. Was Illinois defense last year one of the best in
18:00
the country. He transfers it over to Purdue and is going to present challenges
18:08
with an offense that we don't have any players that are healthy. So,
18:15
long story short, don't turn it over back to that. It's your The
18:22
worst part is I think the most important position group is your offensive line on
18:26
any team, and that's that's where all the injuries are. You can't do
18:30
anything if you can't block, So I don't I don't know how you have
18:34
any time to throw. That's you do. You don't throw it, We
18:37
don't exactly, but if you try to throw, I don't know how.
18:44
Play action. That's the only way like that. Yeah, And I think
18:48
that is going into the style that rule is trying to play and wanting to
18:55
play. I mentioned that fourteen personnel earlier. What that means is one back,
19:00
four tight ends, and basically the line is going to be nine people
19:03
with a quarterback and a running back, and you're gonna be able to run
19:07
in whatever gap you want. We wanted to do that against Northwestern, but
19:11
when those guys went down, rules like, well, those were the guys
19:14
in that package, and so we weren't able to do it. So I
19:18
expect to see stuff like that come out on Saturday. It's going to be
19:26
very, very, very run heavy for numerous reasons. I think we'll talked
19:33
about wanting to open the field up a little bit and potentially threatening downfield,
19:38
but it's not gonna happen this Saturday. Maybe in the future it will,
19:41
but it's not happening against Purdue. If it does, I'll be very very
19:45
shocked in the weather with the banged up receivers, young guys out there just
19:52
getting their foot in the field, and then going back to our quarterback situation
19:57
where we have two quarterbacks that we're not great passers. That's true, honestly,
20:06
I actually, I don't want to say I kind of like it.
20:10
But also we kind of came into this year with the expectation that five and
20:18
seven is a great record. Not great record, but like we'd be happy
20:22
with five and seven for the most part coming into the year. And it's
20:26
kind of nice knowing that during a rebuild you get a really run at the
20:32
younger guys out on the field to get them actual snaps, like game level
20:34
snaps. I'm kind of okay with that oddly enough, Like Turner Corcoran is
20:41
what he is, Like, I'll be fine checking out the guy underneath him
20:45
and see how he actually holds up. The younger guys are gonna get reps
20:49
like that. That to me, like you said, it's very important in
20:55
a rebuild year. The issue with that is is our schedule is soap ad
21:00
this year. That yeah, and we're not a good team either, but
21:07
one of the things I wanted us to do this week, and we can
21:11
go into as much detail as we want, but like, look at the
21:15
quarterbacks in the Big Ten right now, Like, let's seriously take a deeper
21:19
dive in and look at these quarterbacks. Heiner Carbert was technically our backup coming
21:26
in, right, Jeff Simons are starter or whatever, Dak who are the
21:30
top three Big Ten quarterbacks right now? Well, there's an asterisk by number
21:36
one because he's a cheater. But J. J. McCarthy's number one,
21:41
and then two I have too to lay out this is I always have to
21:45
say his name in the spot. I can never get it. I think
21:52
it's Talia, isn't it. I think it's pronounced Talia. I don't know,
21:56
un tell, I always pronounced it. You know what, We'll put
21:59
him at one because the cheater will move down to two for cheating even though
22:03
he's a Heisman favorite. Right now. Yeah, well, we'll get into
22:07
them later. And then three I have I. I guess Kle McCord.
22:15
I'm not impressed with him. I guess him. I don't I look good
22:19
when you're throwing to the Ohio State Wide receiver room. Mermon Harrison, Yeah
22:25
yeah, put us on, put us out that reach sling don't and Austin
22:30
who else do you have as like good quarterbacks? Supposedly Drew all Are at
22:37
Penn State's good. The Allurs looked all right, but I mean you watch
22:41
an Ohio State Penn State game. It those two quarterbacks were not impressive at
22:48
all. And I mean, NEI are just some of the bigger names you
22:51
want to you want to go to the bottom end of the barrel, like
22:53
there are some bad quarterbacks. And before today, if you asked me to
22:57
name the starting quarter back from Michigan State, I would wait, Noah,
23:04
Kim, isn't it. There's there's a lot of bench down. Maybe there's
23:10
a lot of them guys that I don't know, like and there's no reason
23:14
to know him because they're not doing anything for the like Rutgers, I mean
23:18
the Northwestern guy like who the hell knows who that was that came in and
23:22
played ioways got a backup, that's good? God is he bad? All
23:27
I heard and watched was horrible stuff from him And for me, yeah,
23:33
you throw throw, so throw Heiner Carberg? Where do you guys have Heinrich
23:37
Carberg? For as quote unquote poor of a quarterback, we think he is
23:41
operating our offense, Like where do you have him? That he's probably ten
23:45
Yeah, I mean he's the middle of the pack right to me. I
23:49
I didn't exactly list everybody out, but he's he's right there, like right
23:53
in the middle of the pack, which is crazy to say. So it
23:57
kind of goes back to our beginning conversations at the beginning of the year of
24:03
we don't need playmaker at quarterback right now at all to win games. Now,
24:10
we're playing bad teams to win those games, but we're not needing a
24:15
guy back there that can go out and try to score a touchdown when we
24:19
need one, because we don't really need a whole lot of touchdowns right now
24:22
because other teams offenses are just not good either. So anyways, Harburg's in
24:30
that middle Big ten quarterback this year. That's the bottom line. That's what
24:33
we got to. That's the crazy. That's not like you can argue that
24:38
I don't necessarily think he's a middle but if you were, someone's like,
24:41
all right, definitively, like you're probably right. There isn't a definitive list
24:47
where Harburg's at the bottom. It's disgusting as what it is. We had
24:52
a little bit better quarterback. Man, Well, this tells you, This
24:56
tells you how bad the Big Ten is. You're playing one of the best
24:59
Big Ten quarterbacks there there probably is this week. Wait, and he's not
25:03
good, but he's up there. Yeah, let's switch over to that side
25:08
of the ball. Hudson cards he's up there, and he's he's not a
25:17
great quarterback. Former former Texas Longhorn he is going to run the ball a
25:23
lot, and he's fast, and that scares me a little bit because we
25:29
haven't played one of those yet at all? Have we looking back at our
25:33
schedule, like, we have not played a running quarterback. Besides maybe we
25:37
thought the Greek rifle or Dak what you call him at Minnesota, we thought
25:45
maybe he could run, but he's not great. So we haven't played a
25:48
running quarterback yet, which that scares me a little bit. Going into the
25:55
sack Hudson cards are running quarterback. He's athletic. He's athletic. I'm looking
26:02
at as so obviously sacks are taken out of this. Okay, never mind.
26:07
So he's he's rushed to fifty seven times if you subtract the sack yards
26:12
lost for about one hundred and fifty yards. Okay, that's better. I
26:18
was looking at it. Says he rusts fifty seven times for twenty eight total
26:21
yards, and I was like, oh, I don't know if I'm afraid
26:22
to that. He's just very athletic. And we'll talk about it as press
26:27
conference too, like when he gets back there these past few games. If
26:32
we get pressure on the quarterback like they have nowhere to go, and in
26:34
fact was at Northern Illino it was Rocky Lombardi that just like would fall down
26:38
before anybody touched him. So Hudson Cards is going to be able to move
26:42
back there a little bit when they do throw it. Now, this is
26:45
not the Purdue offense that we're used to seeing, the five wide, spread
26:52
it out, the Aiden McConnell, the who has been some other Purdue quarterbacks
26:56
back there that just slinging around blow yeah, back in the day, deck
27:03
like those guys. It's not that kind of offense. It's adjusted. Graham
27:10
Harroldrow, Graham Harrold, remember all of it, guns up, guns up?
27:18
So what what do we expect I guess out of this Purdue offense because
27:22
I do think it's better than some of these teams we played recently, but
27:27
our defense is still very solid. Like I my opinion, is going to
27:33
be a blow twenty for each team game like les, especially if it's wet
27:37
and cold out, because I think they throw the ball still pretty well.
27:41
But last year Devin Makabe who's there, started running back and was their running
27:45
back last year, he freaking killed us, he did. I remember that.
27:51
I don't remember what the exact yard ruge, but it was definitely over
27:52
one hundred and fifty yards rushing from him alone. So I don't know.
27:59
They're offensive coordinator is a disciple of the air raid, I believe, So
28:03
I do still think they favor the passing. It's just not that same quite
28:07
the exact same styles that's been in the past. Hudson Cart's been sacked seventeen
28:11
times, also a good sign. But I think you're right it's gonna be
28:18
in below twenties. I've watched Hudson Card a couple times year. He's not
28:26
terrible. Like, I don't know how they're two to five for you guys
28:29
looked. I've watched every time watching they have looked awful. Side, I
28:32
think they're a lot better than what the record says. They're better in Northwestern
28:34
that's for sure, that's true. I mean, if we run so,
28:38
they lost to Iowa. They gave up twenty to Iowa, So that's the
28:45
only comforting thing I really have. Do we know if those were defensive scores
28:49
though, I don't know, no, So we'll just run through their schedule.
28:55
Fresno State they lost to Week one thirty nine thirty five beat Virginia Tech
29:00
lost to Syracuse thirty five to twenty, lost to Wisconsin thirty eight seventeen,
29:03
beat Illinois forty four nineteen, lost Iowa twenty fourteen, and then obviously Gonna
29:08
lost to last week or two going off of bye, they are coming up
29:15
a bye that that I think that that just packed me a little bit,
29:18
impacts a little bit. The game that I can't freaking figure out is how
29:22
they kick the crap out of Illinois. The Big Ten is just so messed
29:26
up this year, guys. I don't understand some of these scores and what
29:30
the hell is happening. I keep seeing power rankings of teams and team like
29:37
Purdue. I've seen all the way from six to all the way to thirteen,
29:41
like nobody knows where to put anybody outside of the top every and maybe
29:45
four or five. I saw somewhere that I think I saw somewhere that the
29:49
Big Ten West didn't have any team in the top one hundred offense. Oh
29:53
Jesus, I believe it on that, but it was something ridiculous. It's
29:59
but saying it's not hard to believe. Yeah, I can think of who
30:03
would be a top one hundred Wisconsin lost the quarterback. Yeah, and so
30:08
at Iowa, Like it's just a crazy year to be in. And bottom
30:12
line, guys, is just finding a way to win games week after week
30:17
against these low average opponents and it'll it'll be fun to see if we can
30:22
do that what our ball opponent potentially could look like. But that is still
30:27
a long ways down the road, and you hope that the coaching staff has
30:32
that planted in the guy's minds, Like no, like, yeah, I
30:34
get it, our schedule sucks, but we are not anywhere close to saying,
30:38
yep, we're making a bowl game this year because our schedule sucks,
30:41
Like we have to prove it this week against Purdue that we can come out
30:45
and beat a team that has lost to some bad teams but also can kick
30:51
the crap out of Illinois somehow. If you win this week, you can
30:56
fire the cannons out for going to bowl game next week because you're not in
31:00
Michigan State. They're the worst team in the nation, that's what everyone says.
31:03
And then they drop that game Homecoming hope, you're right, Yeah,
31:08
Homecoming in the mold, all right, keys and score predictions for our game,
31:15
and then we'll get into Dak's picks here. I don't have anything unique
31:22
this week for keys besides guess what, don't turn it over. And I'm
31:26
going back to the theme I had a few weeks ago. You don't turn
31:30
the ball over one time, we win the game. It doesn't matter if
31:32
we just run the ball and punt it every time down the field. I
31:34
don't care. We will win the game at some point. Just don't turn
31:38
it over. Don't put the ball on the ground, don't throw a pick,
31:41
catch all pumps, catch kicks. If you're not going to catch it,
31:45
get the hell away from it. Don't turn it over. That's my
31:48
only key. In penalties is there too, But don't beat yourself. There's
31:52
nothing new that is very typical of what we talk about on the podcast.
31:57
Can you guys get unique? No? Yeah, make your kids, Yeah,
32:06
special teams perform. Defense has to win the game. It's you know,
32:09
it's sometimes keys of the game when it's your defense just has to win
32:13
the game and your offense can't lose it. That's it. Don't turn it
32:15
over, that's your offense losing the game. I think getting to like,
32:20
maybe you're Wisconsin's not calling them next tier, but Wisconsin Iowa, maybe even
32:24
Maryland, like a key might for those games be we might need to make
32:29
a get forced a couple turnovers. But I don't even know that we have
32:31
to do that this week. Like just get stops, don't give them field
32:36
position, don't throw a pass, and the first play of the game,
32:38
and if you do throw a pass, don't throw a pick to the other
32:43
team. Yeah, that's that's the main thing. That's another main thing is
32:46
the control a field position that we got. You locked in on this big
32:53
ten West football. Now you're all loving it. Uh yeah, I've watched
32:58
it now. Now now I get what's going on. All right, score
33:01
prediction, I'm going I'm just gonna go same I did last week. I
33:07
don't see a reason to change it. Twenty to seventeen, big ret,
33:15
I'm taking Purdue twenty four ten. What we just hold on? We just
33:24
did a whole podcast and you didn't talk about anything bad, really, and
33:28
then now you're picking Purdue by fourteen. Yep. What I feel it?
33:36
I feel a disappointing game coming on. It's been too long since I've been
33:37
a sad Husker fan. My bones are itching for it. Maybe not fourteen.
33:45
I'll give it to eleven. You know, let's do Yeah, twenty
33:47
four, twenty four thirteen, Dack tended three Nebraska. Yeah. I've given
33:57
Nebraska like thirty five points every week. I'm I'm over that they're winning ten
34:00
to three. Yeah. Your your predictions of us scoring a bunch, I'm
34:05
not sure where those come from. Nope, I'm off that boat. All
34:09
right. Dak's up now for his picks of the week. We have not
34:20
done a total little while, so let's run through this. Dak went and
34:23
looked these up, so he definitely could be lying on these numbers. I
34:28
wouldn't put it past him. He says he's twenty four and twenty five overall
34:34
on the year, just below five hundred. His locks of the week,
34:37
he's two and one. Not bad. Lock of the year. He told
34:43
us he didn't remember picking a lock of the year, which was fuss.
34:47
Buckey should have picked one, and I don't know, oh for one locks
34:52
of the year. Do we have a lock of the year this week?
34:57
Sure? Hopefully lock of the week. Okay, just the lock of the
35:00
week, all right, yep, we will put a minute on the clock
35:07
and go all right, we'll start out Nebraska. My suiton and a half.
35:10
I just said they'd win ten to three. I think there's gonna play
35:14
a shitty it'll be as shit game. Don't watch all right, Florida plus
35:17
fourteen and a half against Georgia. I think George is gonna struggle with brock
35:22
Bowers out Maryland minus thirteen and a half of Northwestern. I just watched Northwestern,
35:25
one of the shittiest teams to watch in nation. Minnesota minus aam against
35:30
Michigan State. Michigan State, I said it was the worst team in nation.
35:34
All right, Then we got NC State plus ten against Clemson pluck Clempson
35:37
Jaret, Miami minus nineteen over Virginia Virginia. I don't know how they beat
35:44
North Carolina, but I think Miami's a lot better than him. BUYU plus
35:49
seventeen and a half over to Texas. Quinn Everspewers ain't playing this weekend,
35:53
so I don't know who's playing for Texas, but BYU will cover that air
35:58
Force mine swarm in half. Recall her out of state. Air Force is
36:00
going undefeated since Oklahoma State seven half over Sincy. Oklahoma State's doing that block
36:07
of the week nine and a half Oklahoma over Kansas. Hey, Oklahoma coming
36:12
in with the lock of the week. Yep, I can't leave. It's
36:15
nine and a half. Well, the podcast I listened to today, all
36:21
three guys took Kansas and they loved it. Huh. Well, no,
36:29
the views on him. He's apparently gonna into the transfer portal next year,
36:35
and I don't know if he's gonna play anymore this season. Coming to Nebraska,
36:40
DAK, I have to comment here. Back to back, you said
36:45
Northwestern and Michigan State were both the worst team of the nation. Oh no,
36:50
they're one in two. I don't know. Set it back to back,
36:54
they're both the worst. I don't know. You can flip a point
36:59
out. Do they play this year? Let's let's find that out. If
37:05
DAK last should be a bet. If you lose a bet, you should
37:07
have to go to that game. Oh god, no, god, no,
37:12
you start scouting for the Huskers sign stealing. You're lucky they don't play
37:17
this year. Thank god Northwestern Iowa does though. Oh well, any other
37:30
thoughts before we get going here, Michigan is coming. If Michigan and steal
37:39
signs and they take back the way this year, Nebraska playoffs. Back on
37:44
what's gonna happen with that. I don't gonna be building anything. I think
37:52
it's gonna be too messy because if they make the playoffs. Did you see
37:59
the stat that before the allegation, Michigan was like thirty four sixteen, and
38:05
then after the all after they started signing Steeling, they're twenty two to one.
38:09
Oh yeah, they definitely cheated. I just don't. I just don't
38:15
know what they can do this season. You don't want the to win national
38:20
title though, And there's a committee that chooses who plays in the title game.
38:23
Now, yeah, I wonder if they'll factor that in. I don't
38:30
it's NCAA. It'll probably be ten years down the road before they do anything.
38:32
I guarantee you there's gonna be a really bad refing game when it comes
38:36
to Ohio State Michigan. That's what I'm telling you right now. Maybe some
38:42
fights. It's weird because it's one of those things that doesn't really impact the
38:50
game, but it does like it could, so people are gonna make a
38:57
big deal about it when maybe it's not. Yeah, and I agree,
39:01
like there's gonna be some implication down the road, and I think there could
39:04
be this year or two. We'll just have to see and see if we
39:07
hear any more news about it. So all right, we will be back
39:10
Saturday, tailgate pod or bar pod somewhere for Dak and I will figure it
39:15
out in the cold. Go bigrit g b R Bloomer sooner. I love
39:22
that burnt orange dude, that B
