Louisville Source DOES NOT Hold Back Before FSU Football vs Cardinals! | UL | Florida State · ACC Football Addiction (Atlantic Coast Conference)

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to ACC Football Addiction. We do this often
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: with Jeremy, but not super often when we're playing each other.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: We do have that benefit today. So we are going
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: to talk about FSU and Louisville. I feel like we're
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: really good friends. Not today, though. Big time enemies. we've
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: been cussing each other for 10 minutes before we started this.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It's been a really rough time here on ACC football addiction.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: We are presented by price picks. We're all new users
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: who play a $ 5 lineup and when you get 150
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: in lineups instantly, if they use code HMA, uh, all
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: jokes aside, we're, I, I did not think before the season,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this is not me talking smack. Oh, I did not
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: think that we would enter this game with more wins
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: than Louisville at this point. I, uh, I certainly didn't
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: think that. after Louisville beat SMU. I really thought Florida
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: state would be the team limping into this game, but
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: they're on a two game winning streak and Louisville's on
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the exact opposite of that. Is it a stop? I, I,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: but I got, I know, I know it sounded mean.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: It's not, is it a stop the bleeding type moment?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And it, I, I think, you know, it's a, it's
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: a weird spot for both teams to be in right now.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Maybe unexpected.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Well, for sure. I mean, I think we both thought
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: both of our teams would be, at a better spot
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: going into this game. Just not been the case. It's
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: hard to explain. We talked in weeks past how Louisville
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and Florida State ended up being the rivals that neither
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: one knew that they were going to be. I mean,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: 4-4 against each other since Louisville entered the ACC. I
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: haven't really– I believe the last time we faced you
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: all was in the ACC title game. What a thrilling–
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: A 5-3 game that was. So as one of the
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: teams we actually enjoyed playing every year, along with Miami,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: it's good to get back to this game. Because this game,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: even in the losses, there's been some good games there.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: Nobody that I know will ever forget when Louisville was up,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I think it was two or three touchdowns here at home.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: thought everything was going to go our way. We had
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: our camouflage uniforms on and those smooth helmets. And Dalvin
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: Cook came, you know, just did whatever he wanted to.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: He had to sketch all over our rear ends the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: second half. So it's a good series. I expect this
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: game to be a good game. So, yeah, I'm looking
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: forward to Friday night.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: What status of Lincoln? just like how, how, how close
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: to a hundred percent do you feel like he is
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: right now?
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Oh man, that is, that's hard for me to say
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: for multiple reasons. First off, I actually, I know.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Text me real quick while we're doing this.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: So you can make sure to tell the coaches Lincoln
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: may be the sink, the second toughest college football player,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: knowing what is wrong with him and the fact that
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: he is still I mean, if you watched the game
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: last week, heavily taped, I thought that would hinder his performance.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: It really didn't. He still was able to cut and
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: move on it, and he used his feet along with
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: his arm. Costly fumble to cost, you know, one of
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: three costly red zone fumbles to cost us the game.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: But when you're playing in wet environments, you have to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: account for the fact that the ball is going to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: be a little bit slippery than normal. So We didn't
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: do a good job with that, but as far as
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Lincoln's concerned, Lincoln is a warrior. Knowing what he's going
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: through right now, I wouldn't put anything past him. He's
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: going to be ready to go, and he's going to
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: put on a show.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: I think that when you look at Florida State, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk some about this on your show,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, tomorrow night, so 8.30 p.m., make sure that
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: folks are tuned in. I will collaborate with Jeremy's channel
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: so that you guys can catch that if you want
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: to hear the other side of this conversation. But I think,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you know, not only is Louisville a little bit different
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: than maybe we thought a few weeks ago or has
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: been playing differently for the last couple of weeks. Florida
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: State is too. And listen, I don't want to go
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: into the full Florida State side of this because it
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: really is the Louisville side of it. But I think
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Louisville's got a little bit more of a more of
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a battle on their hands that I may have thought
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: coming out of that Alabama game after the SMU game,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: just kind of with where we were earlier in the year,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: this offense looks a lot better. It's one of the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: more efficient offenses in college football over the last, you know,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: really all, all season. They've, they've been fairly efficient. SMU
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: game was kind of an anomaly, but they put 36
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: points up on the road and, in Tuscaloosa. They've scored
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: 34 and 38 the two weeks after that. They've been
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: good on that side of the ball. Just before we
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: go on, I will give some love to our new
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Top 25 poll. A lot of you are like me
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and you hate the AP poll, so I created a
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: better one. You can log in right now and for
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: free go create your own top 25 poll. I'm setting
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: up reminders. I'm working on aggregating national college football analysts
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: that we all know and love and respect, or maybe
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: even hate just to get theirs in there as well.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: It's super slick. The user interface is really, really easy
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to use. You log in one time with your Google
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: account and you are all set. I'm not going to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: spam your email. I'm not trying to sell you anything.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: There's no ads on here. If somebody would like to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: put an ad on there, please let me know. But
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: it's just a place where we can go collectively as
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: fans vote on the poll, the top 25 in college football.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: We're going to work on a college ball playoff one.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Once we get closer to November, but go check this out.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: It's CFA top 25.com link is in the description. I'll
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: pin the comment. go check it out right now. Uh,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: defense is, is a concern. Now they were, they were
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: better against a pretty bad UVA team, but, uh, what
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: are your thoughts on just Louisville's defense with where they
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: are right now? You give up 31 points to, um,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: NC state, a little bit of a surprise there. Some
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: of that, you know, some of that's not all on
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the defense, but some of it is. So just thoughts
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: around where the defensive performance is with a good offense
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: coming in.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Well, and I want to talk about, I want to
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: talk about both sides of the ball, but, uh, Yeah,
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: it's kind of hard to stop teams when you're playing
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: guys eight yards off the receiver on third and two
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: every time. I don't understand why we were doing that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: I still think these guys are learning, so it's a
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: work in progress, but the problem is that you're five
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: games in the season. You should have already learned this.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Speaking of defenses, I think I was impressed with Florida
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: State's defense last week because I think that they went
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: from that being a major weakness to looking dominant in
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: one week. Taking into account, before the Virginia game, FSU
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: was ranked 126th nationally in total defense, 135th in passing defense.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: They allowed 430 yards per game, 290 passing yards a game.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: And Virginia showed up averaging more than 40 points a
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: game themselves and 450 yards per game. FSU held them
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to 7 points. 205 total yards, 37 rushing yards, 3
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: for 15 on third down, 0 for 4 on fourth down,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: and 10 sacks. So to me, the question is not
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: whether Florida State has talent. It's whether the Virginia game
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: represented a genuine defensive transformation or one spectacular afternoon. And
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: it's relevant against us because our offense is explosive, but
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: your earlier defensive problems were largely in pass coverage, and
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: your secondary has been Not been the most consistent with
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Jabril being viewed as your top corner, but Louisville should
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: have opportunities if it can protect Lincoln. So I'm not
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: worried at all offensively. Defensively is where I'm worried. You
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: guys are 21 for 21 in red zone possessions this season,
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: including 17 touchdowns. That's good for first in the ACC.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: So it's just, I'm more worried I'm exponentially more worried
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: than I was when we talked about this and joked
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: around at the beginning of the season or two games
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: in or three games in. So it is what it is.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: So I'll tell you this, and not to give people
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: too much of what we'll talk about tomorrow night, but
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I am very concerned about Saturday against UVA being an
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: anomaly defensively. I think the offense is good. Like, it
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: would surprise me. And I would have said, man, I'm
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: worried about the offense being good on the road. Well,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: they put up 36 points in Tuscaloosa. Ashley deals through
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: for nearly 400 yards. I think the offense is just good.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Like I can not like Mike Marbella. I want, and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they still score points like that. You know, the defense
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: a week ago, a week before Virginia gave up 39
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: minutes and change of time of possession to central Arkansas.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Like they could not get off the field. And so I,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: That defense absolutely had the performance of the season against Virginia.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: There's no doubt. I'm not discrediting that. Sure. I think
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Bo Pribula is a really bad passer. I think they
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: want to run the ball, and Florida State absolutely sold
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: out to stop the run. And I don't think Virginia
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: is incredibly dynamic in the run. I think they're a
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: good running team, and Florida State did some things differently
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and sold out to stop that, and Pribula couldn't pass
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: to beat them. If Florida state tries to play that game,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: like say that Florida state's entire game plan is, Hey,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: we're going to take away Brown and Brown. Good luck
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: with Lincoln. Now, if he's hobbled, if you can get
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: to him a couple of times and that bangs them
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: up more, yeah, there's a chance that could work, but
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I think that's a really wild strategy if you're Florida state.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: So what are you, what is your strategy? If you're
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Florida state, are you going to play off of Lincoln
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: a little bit or play off the wider sewers a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: little bit to, to stop the run more early? Are
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: you going to try and guess what Louisville may do
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: in certain situations or with disguising certain things on defense.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I think Louisville, uh, offensively is very balanced or it
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: has the ability to be very balanced. And that's where if, if,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: if you're Florida state, I don't think you can play
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: the game you played against Virginia because they were a
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: very one dimensional team. I think Louisville is the opposite
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: of that. Now, if you can make them one dimensional
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: with the banged up quarterback, then sure.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: You can maybe get some things done, but I think
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: you have both a running game and a passing game.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to worry about this weekend. We obviously know the way
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: McCoy and we know, right? Like we know the weapons
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: that are there ready to go on the, on the
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: outside and in the backfield. And I, it would surprise
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: me if Florida city's defense was able to hold Louisville under,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think, I think if you held them
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: under 24, it'd be a really, really good performance. I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: think 20, like if you, if you told me right now,
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Louisville scores 21, I'd say I think Florida state wins,
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: but when they get up into that 28, 30, 31 range,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: that's kind of where I expect them to be more so.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: And I don't know if Florida state scores that many
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: to keep up. So that's kind of the range that
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at for this game of success. 21, probably
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: a win 28, 31. I'm not sure.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's interesting because this is the first time
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: since Chris Redmond was at the helm that I, I
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: feel like we put up four touchdowns a game real easy,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: whether it's by passing or rushing. Now, I don't expect
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: to see Kiwan play, I keep wanting to say Saturday,
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Friday night. But still, defenses have held, have schemed and
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: double teamed Isaac all year long and be able to
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: keep him in check. And that just allows Lincoln to
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: throw wherever he wants to all over the, and when
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: you got spectacular, superb wide receivers like Trey Richardson and
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: my guy, L Mack, your guy, my guy, um, which
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: thank you again so much for that. We really do
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: appreciate it. Uh, I don't know. This is going to
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: come down to defense. This game is going to come
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: down to Louisville's defense. Um, I've been sitting here doing
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: show prep for today and for tomorrow. We're going to
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: have fun tomorrow. Uh, tonight a little bit more, today
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: a little bit more serious. But the one thing that
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Louisville cannot afford to do, we cannot treat Daniels as
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: a quarterback who needs to be contained in the pocket.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: You guys leaned heavily into zone read concepts last game
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: against Virginia, and his ability to become the extra runner
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: changed the game. There's also a fascinating statistical contradiction. Daniels
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: has been relatively inefficient as a passer, but your offense
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: is built around explosive plays such as ours. you guys
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: were generating 20-plus yard plays on 10% of your snaps,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: which is good for fourth nationally. So the one place
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: we have struggled a lot this year is defending the run.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: So it's going to be real interesting. When I say
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: I feel like we can score at will, as long
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: as you all– here's one thing. And to my NC
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: State fan friends, I apologize for this. But if you
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: all would have kept passing the football last game instead
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: of going to the run in the second half, I
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: don't know that we would have been able to come
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: back like we did. I don't know that we would have.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: We have lost three games by a combined nine points.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: The epitome of frustration. But there's a point in the
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: third quarter where we're starting to come back and it's Run, run, run.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, why are you all running? You all have
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: passed at will all game. If we don't get what's
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: not working, we got the penalties knocked down. We've been
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: working on that. That wasn't an issue in NC State.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: If we haven't fixed what's been the issue this last
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: couple of weeks, then this is going to be another shootout.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I like... I actually like both offenses to do
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: really well in this game. I think it is. I
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: don't know about super high scoring. I think sometimes Friday
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: nights in conference get a little weird. Um, but I
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: do think this is, I do think it gets close
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: to that 24, 28, 31 range. And so I think
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Florida state is capable of getting in the high twenties,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: low thirties in this game. Certainly think Virginia has more
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: capability on, um, on defense but even that Virginia game
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you know like you can't take away the explosives the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: explosives still exist but you you know Virginia wasn't as
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: bad on a down-to-down basis Florida State just really hit
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the explosives well in that game and that quarterback run
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: was big I mean you mentioned that obviously you know
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: he sets a record with uh five rushing touchdowns that
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: you know beats anything Dalvin Cook ever did or work
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: done or you know all these NFL guys and and
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: college football hall of famers and FSU hall of famers,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: everybody else. So that, I mean, that is impressive. Once
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: you put that out on film, then it gives coordinators
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: a chance to, to prepare for it. Right. And he,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I don't think he's as, you know, he's not Lamar
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: running the ball, right? Like if he's a very effective runner,
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: clearly you don't rush for five touchdowns and not be,
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: but he's also not just so lightning fast blazing speed that,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: you know, he can't be stopped. I think Virginia has
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: just kind of caught off guard and we hadn't utilized
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: the quarterback run much this year. And, We pulled it
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: out at the perfect time. I don't want to say
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: waste it, but did we maybe waste it just a tad?
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: Could we have gotten by a different way and then
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: used that this week?
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: We'll see. Maybe Mike's got another trick up his sleeve.
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: I'm sure both coaches will try and have something ready
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: for this game that is kind of a new wrinkle.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: But I do, man. I think whichever defense can get
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: more stops. I'm not sold on the FSU defense. I'm
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: not sold on the Louisville defense. And so somebody has
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: got to show up like what, you know, they say,
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: bring your own guts and stuff. Like somebody will show
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: up in this game a little bit better than the opponent.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: I don't think anybody shuts the other team down. I
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: think Florida state's office is too good. I think a
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: little of those offenses too good. I don't think it
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: would surprise me if either team scored less than three touchdowns.
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: And I think the, probably the first one to get
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: to four is probably in really good shape to, to
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: kind of have control of the game. So yeah, I
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: think whichever defense can come up with a stop at
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: some point late, is probably the one that wins this.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: I lean Louisville here. I just think that on the road,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: Florida State's not been good enough. Defensively, I still have
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of questions about FSU. They haven't won a
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: road game in over a thousand days. do they change
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: that in a hostile environment? Well, maybe less hostile. Maybe
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: that's a good question. Uh, but yeah, do they change
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: that on the road in conference? I don't know. I
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: I'm not buying it yet. I need to see it
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: before I do. Uh, fans are not happy. Is this
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: going to be a sellout or people are people not
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: showing up? Cause I've seen some threads and stuff that
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: maybe people aren't even going to go.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: That's at the end of the day, that's just angry
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: fans talking. They paid their money. They'll be there. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: if they don't go, they'll give them to people that,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: that will go. Uh, it, here's the problem though. And
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it is. I'm sure it's not
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: that I don't, I'm sure it's the same way there, uh,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: in Tallahassee Friday nights when our market marquee high school
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: football games are played, there's going to be a lot
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: of people. We've never really done good attendance on Friday
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: night games, uh, because a majority of the people are
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: out supporting their kids and their neighbors, their friends and
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: stuff like that. Uh, Do I expect it to be
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: a sellout? No, I don't. Do I think there'll be
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: about 50,000 people there? Yeah, I do. Do I think
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: that 49,500 of them are going to be out in
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: the parking lot drunk an hour before kickoff? I do.
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: So I don't expect that to be an issue at all.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: I think that the environment's going to be raucous. I
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: think the last couple of times We've got to play
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: you all at home. We've done really well as far
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: as getting people out there. Again, even with the good
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: games and the one we won real big and the
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: one we lost heartbreakingly, Louisville fans have showed up when
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: FSU comes to town.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I like Louisville 34-24 in this. I think they do
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: cross that 30 threshold. I don't think Florida State can.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: We'll see. Their offense has been good. I'm probably underselling them.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: just a little bit, but again, road and home issues.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I think they're going to start a little slower on
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: the road. I don't trust the defense. I like Louisville
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: by 10. What's your score in this one?
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Well, good for you all. We tend to start out
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: slow as well. Defensively, we start off pretty tight and
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: then that wanes off throughout the game. Offensively, we start
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: out a little bit slower and that picks up throughout
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the game. Second quarter is going to be the key
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to this game. I want so badly to be hopeful
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: and positive like you are. And I swear on my life,
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: on our friendship, on my wife, I had no idea
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: what each of our teams were averaging when I picked
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: my score this morning. It's the exact average that both
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: teams are averaging. I've got Louisville 34-33. Fourth quarter field
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: goal seals it for the Cards. Until this defense can
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: prove to me that it can guard a wet paper bag. Sorry,
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: the secondary. That's important. to say because our linebackers and
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: defensive linemen have been playing their hearts out. It's a
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: couple of players on the secondary. We won't name names here.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: We might tomorrow night, but we won't name names here.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: I'm just kidding. So I've got us by one point.
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: Until they can prove me otherwise, 34-33.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: The secondary questions are interesting to me because Florida State
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: does have good wide receivers. I don't know that they
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: have a passer that is dynamic enough to get it done.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: We'll see, though. He did a great job in Tuscaloosa.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I think he's playing with a lot of confidence right now.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: He also makes mistakes. Keenles makes less mistakes, and if
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: you're going to see a quarterback make multiple mistakes in
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: this game, I would think that it would be Daniels.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: But that's why we play the game because you and
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: I are fortunately not playing.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and with our luck, it's always been like this.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: It's the guys that shouldn't. Well, you all came up and, golly,
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what year it was, but we were
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: also up pretty decently in this game, and you all
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: had like a second or almost like a Rudy-type quarterback
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: that was playing and throwing it up to like this
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: seven-foot tight end. Yeah. And it was like we should.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: It was great.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: We went into that game like, oh, man, we should
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: beat the pants off these guys. And we didn't. So
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: that's our luck. This guy that's been inefficient, he'll probably
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: hit his first 10 passes of the game. Do a
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: spin in backwards reverse, plunge a touchdown in the end
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: zone on the first drive. Maybe that's me being fickle.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: And I will also admit, whenever I'm more hard on us,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: we do better. So 34-33 is me being very, very
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: angry at them. Do I think in my heart that's
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: what it's going to be? Maybe not, but right now
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: in my head, I'm like, we're going to have to
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: fight for this. Especially when we're not playing Boston College
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: this Friday night. We're not playing Syracuse this Friday night.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: We're playing the story tradition that is the Florida State Seminoles,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: and we have to play and give that respect to
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: that team. It's a team that we, from the rain
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: game in 2002– when I believe that I was doing
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: some research earlier, and it wasn't very clear. I don't
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: know if that was your all's first overtime game ever
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: or if it was your first overtime game that season.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: But that set the tone for me in loving. And
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: I know you're probably like, well, of course, you all
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: walked off and won that game. Of course it was.
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: But I have been intertwined with Florida State ever since
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: because I remember before that. I remember when I was playing.
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: I remember being a six-year-old kid. Louisville was the Prairie
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: View A & M of college football. You had us
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: when you wanted to guarantee a victory. You had us
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: on your schedule. There was one year we were independents.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what year this was. I want to
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: say 92. We played seven top ten teams that season.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Sheesh.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Six of them were away. One was at home. And
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: we got blown out every game. But that just goes
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: to show we may not have as deep of a
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: tradition as you. And I think you all were one
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: of those teams. But that just shows how far we
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: have come in the last 26 to 30 years. Hopefully
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: we continue building on that. But, no, we're not going
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: to take Florida State lightly. I think that this is
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: going to be a really good game. And, yeah, I
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: think 33-32 is what my angry head is telling me
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: Jeremy, where can people follow you? Tell us a little
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: about tomorrow night, and let's get out of here.

• 23:57
  Speaker 2: One of my buddies. Little fans, you all know who
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: he is. Florida State fans should know who he is
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: because just a couple years ago, I think it was
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: maybe 10 years ago, uh, they said his name like
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: 750 times during the 62 to whatever.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: That game never happened. That game got, that was a hoax.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: That game got wiped out.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: That's what they say about the 2013 national championship, but
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: that's not true. Uh, we'll have him on the whole show.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: We're going to start off the show with a little
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: basketball tomorrow's Louisville basketball, men's basketball media day. We'll have
• 24:29
