  Speaker 1: Well, in week three, the dogs ate and the overs
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: hit and a little justice was served on the football field. Overall,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: it was a pretty good week. It was a pretty
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: good week. And we have got big, big things that
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: changed with the landscape of college football in week three.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: So let's go on and get to it. Can you
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: believe it? It's football. I've been watching it for 40 years.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? You're listening to Winning Cures Everything.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Game day, baby. Wake up or get out. Here's your host.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: A confident young man. A superb athlete. Gary Segers. Welcome in.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Winning Cures Everything is a college football podcast. I'm your host,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Gary Segers at GaryWCE. Hopefully, everybody had a wonderful week three. Hopefully,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: everybody's tickets cashed. There were some that didn't. And boy,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: you want to talk about some last play betting swings. Good, great.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Let's start off with that today, right? Oh, and subscribe
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: if you haven't already done that. Leave a nice five-star
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: written review on whatever your favorite podcast app might be. Spotify, Apple, etc.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: I think those are the biggest ones, but there's a
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: ton of other ones. Last play betting swings on Saturday.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Vanderbilt's end zone fumble recovery. That covered minus 3.5 by
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: half a point. That was insane. Clemson's Tyler Brown scored
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: instead of sliding, and that flipped both the spread and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the total. Tulsa had a 51-yard touchdown run with two
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: minutes left. They covered minus 41.5 by half a point.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: And UCLA won by exactly 14 over Purdue. That was
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a push at some of the closing numbers, but... It
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: had been well above 14 for most of the week.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: So everybody that bet Purdue got that cover late Saturday night.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: At night last night, I mean, there were 37 games
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: at night last night. Just crazy. Half of the slate.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: There were, what, 70-something games? 37 of them started at
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: like 6 p.m. or later. Just nuts. But the big
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: favorites failed to cover. Texas, Tennessee, Notre Dame, Miami. Boise
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: was in a fight. And Arizona. Like, good gracious. Let's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: talk about the biggest game of the day. Oh, by
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the way, overs. The ten biggest games of the day.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Dogs went 7-3 against the spread. Is that right? No,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: 9-1 against the spread. Is that right? No, 7-3 against
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the spread. There we go. Overs went 9-1. 9-1. And
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the one that didn't was Ole Miss LSU. And it
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: failed to get there by a point and a half.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: So a field goal would have gotten us there. Just crazy,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: crazy stuff. Sharp Money ended up being all right. Right? Houston,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: that was a double-digit dog down to minus 7.5, or
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: plus 7.5, I guess. Yeah, just wild. And then the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Sharp Money got torched with the Alabama-Florida State total. Because
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: that one dropped from 52.5 to around 49. And that
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: game finished with 86 points. I mean, that was just
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: a crazy, crazy game. All right, but let's talk about
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the big game of the evening. The one that everybody
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: was pointing to basically all day. Ole Miss 32, LSU 24. And,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you know, LSU opened minus 3. They closed minus 2.5.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: The total dropped from 58.5 to 57.5. So, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: people kind of had an idea. Ole Miss wins outright
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: as the home dog. The game went under. Kiffin's new
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: team could not stop Trinidad Chambliss. Could not stop. Went
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: 33-48 for 363 yards, two touchdowns, and ran for the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: go-ahead 14-yard touchdown late. Ole Miss was up 24-7 at halftime.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: And then LSU won the third quarter 14-0 and then
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: tied it on a field goal in the fourth. Ole
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Miss scored late to go up. And they tried to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: go for two because there were a couple of LSU penalties.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And it was a direct snap to JT Lindsey. They
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: drew LSU offside twice before that, so they only had
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: to go one yard. LSU drove it all the way
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: to the Ole Miss six. And then Levitt missed a
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: wide open Zach Grace on third down. And his fourth
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: down pass deflected off of a helmet. And it was
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: intercepted in the end zone. And Yeah, the video that
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I saw of Kiffin just collapsing to his knees was hilarious.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Kiffin did some smart things here. That Ole Miss team
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: came out just hair on fire. And I should have
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: known that the emotion would be there, but I thought
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: that LSU would be able to temper it just a
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: little bit. Ole Miss ran for only 63 yards on
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: 25 carries. Had 426 total yards. They outgained LSU. But
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: the rushing performance, 2.5 yards per carry, was not great
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: by any stretch. LSU ran for 172 yards on 43 carries,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I believe it was. Levitt, you know, listed as doubtful
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: leading up to it and whatnot. It seemed like some gamesmanship.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: But Kiffin texted Golding beforehand, all that kind of stuff.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: There were some injuries in the game. Something to pay
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: attention to going forward. The running back, Kawan Lacey, for
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss. He left with a left shoulder injury. Of course,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss plays at Florida next week, and they look
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: pretty good. LSU's tight end, Tredez Green, hurt his right knee.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: He was carted to the locker room. He was the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: leading receiver at the time. Had four catches for 60 yards.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: So that's something to pay attention to. LSU safety Deshaun
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Spears left on crutches in the second quarter. You know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: these are all things to pay attention to because LSU
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: plays what will surely be a pissed off Texas A
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: & M team this coming week. And Ole Miss plays Florida.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And Florida has already opened. Opened as a one and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a half point favorite at home. They're up to two
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: and a half already. I will go ahead and tell you,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: I have already bet Florida anything under three I feel
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: good about. It may not matter because I don't think
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Ole Miss is going to have anything left in the tank.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: I think they spent it all in that first quarter
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: and then very, very late in the game. The next
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: game that we've got to discuss is one that I
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: did not see coming. Absolutely did not see it coming.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: Kentucky 31, Texas A & M 21, and I should
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: have seen it. I mean, I should have seen it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Just A & M, other than some pick sixes and
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you know, short fields and whatnot, couldn't do anything against
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Arizona State, who, by the way, we're not going to
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: talk much about them, but got a good win over
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: Kansas in London. Now we'll see what the travel does
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: to them, because they've got to come back and play
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: again and whatnot, so we'll see. But either way, Kentucky
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: was a 16.5 to 17 point underdog, and they won
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: this game outright. It was their first win in College
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Station since Bear Bryant's team won there back in 1952.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Just crazy. Kentucky trailed 7-0, and they reeled off 28
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: straight points, including 21 of them in the third quarter.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: So last week, Kentucky could do nothing in the second half,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: and this week, they did everything in the second half.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Kenny Minchey was awesome. 14-18 for 252 yards. Had two touchdowns. C.J.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Baxter ran for 87 yards and two touchdowns. Kentucky finished
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: with 404 total yards. That is not a good thing
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: for A & M' s defense. And A & M, I mean,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: their remaining schedule is just brutal when you look at this.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: They got LSU this week. They got Missouri coming up. Alabama, Oklahoma.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Their playoff odds do not look good. Like, at all.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: At all. Kentucky was 3 of 9 on 3rd down.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: Still not very good, but better than the one of
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: 14 they had against Bama. Just crazy. Jay Bateman was
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: A & M' s defensive coordinator the previous two years. He
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: left to join Kentucky, and he held Marcel Reed to
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: 26 of 49, 236 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions. Big
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: injuries in this game. Terry Bussey carted off with a
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: right leg injury on the opening kickoff. The wide receiver
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Mario Craver for A & M twisted his right ankle.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: He ended up staying in the game. Ashton Bethel-Roman was
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: already out for this game. These are all things to
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: pay attention to going forward because, yeah, injuries are already
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: taking a toll. Already taking a toll. We talked a
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: bit about Vanderbilt. Let's hit on that one. The wildest
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: ending of the season already. Vanderbilt was a 3.5 point favorite.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: Total was 50.5. Vanderbilt covered by half a point on
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the final play, and the game ended up going over.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: NC State plus 3.5 was a winning ticket until the
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: very last play of the game. Like, that is absolutely crazy.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And here's the way it was set up, right? NC
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: State intercepted Jared Curtis at their own 2-yard line with
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a minute 4 left. That should have been the ballgame.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, NC State was up 17-0. They were up 24-7.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: And Vandy just kept clawing back. Kept clawing back. But
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: with a minute four left, NC State intercepted Vanderbilt. And
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: they ran three plays with their backup quarterback, Will Wilson.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: They took a delay of game, and that stopped the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: clock with six seconds left. And at that point, you're
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: up by three. All you have to do is take
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: a safety. But they tried to run out more clock
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: before they took the safety. So in fourth and two,
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Dave Doran chose not to punt. He sent C.J. Bailey
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: back in to run out the clock or to take
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the safety. And let's see, who was it? Miles Capers
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: stripped Bailey in the end zone and Vanderbilt recovered for
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the winning touchdown. I... I don't even know. It was
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: an insanely hot day. It hit 100 degrees in Nashville.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: The field temperature was 150. Just outrageous conditions. And this was...
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I don't even know who recovered the fumble. I know
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: SI said it was Jordan Matthews. The AP said it
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: was Caden Daniels. I don't know who recovered the fumble.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: But that is one of the wildest swings... that I
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: can ever remember in a ballgame. Like, you want to
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: talk about dumb. Just dumb. Like, there's so many different
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: things you can do there. And instead, you know, you
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: end up with this. So, whatever happens to Dave Doering,
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: you know, it is what it is. Alabama 50, Florida
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: State 36. Good gracious. Bama opened 15.5. It closed at
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: minus 19.5. It got up to 20, 20.5 a couple
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: different times. Total went down 52.5, down to about 49
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: by kick. Florida State covered. They lost by 14 points.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: The game went over by 37 points, roughly. Keelan Russell,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about this kid. There
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: are certain points in the game. There were so many
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: delays with this game. Lightning delays. The game didn't start
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: until 4.15 Central. It was supposed to start at 2.30,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: and then late in the second quarter, they had to
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: stop again, so they skipped halftime, but they stopped again
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: for 30-something minutes because there was lightning within eight miles
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: of the stadium, and then they just played through. But
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: after the second lightning delay, Alabama went bonkers Russell had
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: 320 yards and three touchdowns he ran for another Alabama
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: finished with 615 yards of total offense Florida State led
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: 21 to 6 and then Alabama scored touchdowns on five
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: straight possessions like five straight possessions they had one of
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: them before the delay and then they came back out
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: from the locker room and scored on four straight possessions
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: just wild Injuries, as far as what to pay attention to,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: Alabama's Wolf linebacker, Yonze Pierre, he went to the medical tent.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: He did return to the sideline, so he should be fine.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Florida State linebacker Chris Jones went down in the first quarter.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Hadn't seen much else about him, but yeah, this Bama
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: defense is good, but they can get got, and Ashton
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Daniels certainly had gotten them early. certainly early, and even
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: scored some late. So, yeah, Alabama's going to be a
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: wild team this year. They're young. Pretty much everybody is
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: going to come back for next year. Like, that's, I
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: say everybody. There's a lot of the defensive pieces that
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: will be gone, but they got some good young pieces.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: We'll see. Let's talk about Friday night for just a
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: little bit. Texas Tech 28, Houston 26, and Tech opened
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: minus 12.5. They closed minus 7.5, and the sharp bettors
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: were correct on Houston. Houston covered the over barely hit.
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: Thomas Castellanos, who didn't join the team with Texas Tech
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: until August 26th, he made a surprise start over Will
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Hammond in this game and came in and threw an
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: interception on his first pass. So I don't know what
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: they're going to do next, but that's what we're looking at. So,
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Connor Wigman, he was stopped inches short on the tying
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: two-point try. Otherwise, this would have been a 28-28 game.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: But this was just back-and-forth, fantastic ballgame the whole night.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Houston ran for 176 yards against Texas Tech. That defense
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: last year did not allow more than 126 for the
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: entire season. Like, not for the entire season. They didn't
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: allow more than 126 in any game the entire season. So,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: the crazy thing is, this is the toughest opponent that
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Tech was going to have to play all year. Now,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: obviously that can change, but based on preseason expectations, that's
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: about all we got. Louisville 41, SMU 31. Louisville finally
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: gets their first win ever against SMU. Louisville closed minus 2.5,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: total 59.5. Game went over. Keewon Brown ran for 163 yards,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: two touchdowns on only 10 carries. And for SMU, Kendrick
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: Raphael ran for 197 yards and three touchdowns. I mean,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: this was a back-and-forth kind of ballgame. SMU turned it
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: over three times. Louisville turned it over zero and had
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: zero sacks. Like, that's pretty wild. Pretty wild the way
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: that that stuff works. SMU had really just owned this series.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: They destroyed Louisville last year, like 38-6. It was crazy.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: Florida 44, Auburn 39. That was interesting. Florida was favored
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: all week. A lot of people thought that the wrong
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: team was favored. We hadn't seen what Florida is yet.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: They've played nobody. Well, now they have one on the
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: planes at night. Just bonkers. Game went way, way over
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: the total. Like way, way, way over the total. Jaden
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Ball ran for 162 yards and three touchdowns. Gators are
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: 3-0 for the first time since 2019, since before COVID.
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: Florida hosts Ole Miss this coming week. And that is
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: going to be a fun ballgame. There is a chance
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: that Ole Miss just gets wiped out in that one.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: They really wanted that LSU game. I think they kind
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: of put everything they had into that one. I'm on
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: the Florida side this week. Mississippi State, what a fantastic
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: showing in Williams-Brice. State was a 3.5 point dog all week.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: It never changed. I mean, this game went way over, too. 58.5
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: was the total. Had 75 total points. Mississippi State trailed 16-0.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: And they outscored South Carolina 41-7 over a 24-minute stretch.
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: Kamario Taylor threw four touchdowns in this one. State had
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: been 1-21 in their last 22 SEC games when they
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: were trailing at the half. And now South Carolina has
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: lost six straight SEC games. So that's something to pay
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: attention to. Another surprise here. West Virginia, as a 10.5-point dog,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: beats Virginia 38-27. Just insane. This one went over by
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: like 6.5 points. Michael Hawkins accounted for 313 total yards
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: and 5 touchdowns in this. West Virginia 3-0 for the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: first time since 2018. USC and Rutgers. I can't wait
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: to hear Josh Pate talk about this one. USC was
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: a 23.5 point favorite with a total of 16.5. Rutgers
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: had looked atrocious. And yet, they cover easily. The game
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: went over. Trent Mosley... the USC star freshman, he sat
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: out this game. Wide receiver Corey Sims, he got hurt
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: on a fourth down play. But this was a tight game.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: USC did just enough to keep Rutgers in the ballgame.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: And now I don't know what to think about Oregon
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: and USC next week. No clue. I don't think USC's
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: defense is very good. Especially the second and third teams.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: But Even the first team I don't think is great.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: I don't think it's great at all. Let's do some
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: rapid fire recaps real quick. Georgia 45-17 over Arkansas. Chauncey
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: Bowens ran for three touchdowns. Arkansas had 17 rushing yards.
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: That's their worst since 2018. Gunner Stockton ran for almost
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: 100 yards. Oklahoma goes to Athens next week, so that'll
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: be interesting. Clemson 28-20 over North Carolina. North Carolina led
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: for basically this entire ballgame. Clemson came back from 14 down.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: This game was like six hours long. There was a
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: two-hour weather delay in this thing. Tate Reynolds made his
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: first start, got a win. A lot of stuff going
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: on in North Carolina right now. The defensive coordinator, Steve Belichick,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: resigned earlier this week and whatnot, but they came out
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: like guns a-blazing early. They were up 17-6, I believe,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: at halftime. Just bonkers. I mean, you want to talk
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: about a bad beat. If you had North Carolina plus 3.5,
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Tyler Brown scored a 34-yard touchdown instead of sliding late.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: If he slides, Clemson wins this thing 21-20. Instead... The
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: touchdown flipped both the total and the spread. So, you know,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: I still think North Carolina is okay. The problem for
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: them is that their schedule is pretty unrelenting. Notre Dame
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: 27-10 over Michigan State. Notre Dame was a 29.5 point favorite.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: That's just crazy. It is Notre Dame's 13th straight double-digit win.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: And that breaks a record at the school that was
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: held by Newt Rockne. Just crazy. Micah Gilbert, eight catches
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: for 170 yards for him. That's pretty wild. Friday night,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: we had Miami 33-20 over Wake Forest. Darian Mensah, he
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: set an ACC record with 24 straight completions. Finished 30
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: out of 34 in this. Miami was up 31-7. And
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: then they just kind of chilled. Just took it easy.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Texas beats UTSA 30-6. Not much to take from this.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Texas plays at Tennessee next week. They looked a little flat.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: That's okay because they played Ohio State last week, and
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: this was UTSA. Their defense held UTSA to, like, what,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: 161 yards, I think, or 163 yards, something like that.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Tennessee 42-9 over Kennesaw State. Tennessee did not cover the 35.5-point spread,
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: but they didn't have to. They got Texas coming up
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: next week. BYU-Colorado State was not nearly as enjoyable as
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I thought it would be. BYU just got a big lead.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Colorado State came back, covered the 18.5 that I got.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: If you got 17.5, that had to hurt. Had to hurt.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Late score got me a cover there, so it worked
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: out well. James Franklin. Virginia Tech handled Maryland again, 35-26.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Virginia Tech covered the 2.5 here. Ethan Grunkemeyer threw for
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: 314 yards, three touchdowns. Maryland had a 20-game non-conference win streak.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: But that should tell you the level of competition that
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Maryland had been playing in the non-con. So Oklahoma 14-6
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: over New Mexico. Yeah, that was like a 23, 22.5
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: point spread, something like that. I think it closed at 21.5.
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: But Oklahoma has scored 14 or fewer in two straight games.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: You know, obviously only put up 10 against Michigan. The
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: fire Arbuckle chance broke out. Mateer threw forward two touchdowns
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: and two picks against New Mexico. And now they've got
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: to go to Athens next week. A game that I
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: expected to be close. Northwestern 41-7 over Colorado. I mean,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: just insane. And you want to talk about crazy stuff.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: On social media, Colorado players were, they were heard just
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: trashing Northwestern Stadium before the game. And then they came
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: in there and they turned it over four times. Aiden Childs,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: the quarterback for Northwestern, had five total touchdowns, and Deion
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: said afterwards that Chip Kelly just outcoached his staff by far.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: He called out his own players that were laughing after
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: the loss. I mean, just everything that could have gone
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: wrong went wrong for Colorado in that game. 41-7. Northwestern
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: is feeling good about themselves right now. Nebraska 34-7. This
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Nebraska team, like, they get rid of Dylan Rayola, and
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: they look outstanding. 34-7 over North Dakota. Now, granted, it
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: is just North Dakota, but Jamal Rule ran for 119
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: yards and two touchdowns. Nebraska's defense held North Dakota to
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: only 205 yards. It's pretty good. Now Nebraska gets to
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: play Michigan State next week. This is going to be interesting.
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Interesting with the Cornhuskers. TCU 31-7 over Arkansas State. Washington
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: 48-16 over Eastern Washington. That Washington offense finally did something.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: They didn't cover because they were 42 and a half
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: point favorites, but they did something. You know, DeMond Williams
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: threw four touchdowns, had 373 yards through the air. Tulsa 42-0,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that was one that covered by half a point thanks
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: to a late touchdown. Louisiana 21-14 over UAB. And then
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: we had some late-night West Coast stuff. UCLA 52-38 over Purdue. And,
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: you know, that thing right around two touchdowns at close.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: UCLA had 645 yards of offense. That's their most since 2019.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Wayne Knight ran for 177 yards and two touchdowns. Had,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: let's see, eight rushing touchdowns through three games for him.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: Nico threw three touchdowns. He left late in the third
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: quarter with an apparent shoulder injury. But he did return
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: to take the final knee. So that's just something to monitor.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: And Purdue has now lost 19 straight Big Ten games.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: Boise 38-24 over South Dakota. That was wild. It was
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: 24-24 with, what, 10 minutes left in the game? I mean,
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: just nuts. Just nuts. James Madison 26-13 over San Diego State. Like,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I think Billy Napier's kind of got that thing rolling.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: They were up 19-0 at the half. Cam Coleman threw
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: for two touchdowns in this one. At 3-0 now. In
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Napier's first year. Big, big result in the group of
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: six playoff race. Fresno, 26-10 over San Jose State. Yeah. Yeah,
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: just wild. And then Arizona, 42-17. They kind of played
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: with their food a little bit with Northern Illinois because
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: Northern Illinois is awful. Absolutely awful. So, we've already talked
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: about a few injuries. Let's look ahead a little bit.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: A & M and LSU. Both teams coming off losses.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Both have injury questions. Ole Miss at Florida. Lacey status
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: matters there. But even still, I don't think Ole Miss
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: has very much left in the tank right now. Texas
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: at Tennessee. That's your 11 a.m. game on ABC. That
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: is going to be fantastic in Knoxville. Oklahoma's offense, they
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: got to deal with Georgia's defense this week. South Carolina
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: at Alabama's this week. Vanderbilt at Auburn. And then, of course,
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Missouri and Mississippi State. Oklahoma State gets to take on
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: West Virginia. Wake Forest is playing Louisville. We got some
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: bangers this week. Absolute bangers. So I'm excited about everything
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: that is happening thus far. This is, it has the
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: feeling of a really wild season. And we're only, I
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: was going to say three weeks in, but really four
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: weeks if you count week zero. So we are here.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: We are ready. We are, I'm pumped. I think this
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: is going to be great. Absolutely great. All right. We'll
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: have the 10 Best Games video out on YouTube on Monday,
• 27:28
