Texas Expert ADMITS Something Surprising In Longhorns vs Florida Gators Game! · College Football Addiction: A Show About All Things College Football

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to College Football Addiction, another big one for Texas.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: It feels like every game on this schedule ends up
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: being a big one for Texas, but this game I
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: thought was going to be a little bigger than it is.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: It is presented by PrizePix. Again, all new users there
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: play $ 5, get $ 150 in lineups instantly. They use code HMA.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Jerry Hamilton on Texas football. both teams coming off of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a loss, which maybe isn't the most shocking thing, but
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: both teams coming off of a loss as favorites. So
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: I am very intrigued to see how both teams respond
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: because even with a red river can always get crazy.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Florida obviously looks a little different right now, but I
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: don't think anybody would have taken a South Carolina, Oklahoma
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: money line going into last week. So a little surprising
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to be in this spot where two and a half
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: weeks ago that we thought this could be a top
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: five matchup.
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Um, look, we'll start with Texas, Oklahoma, uh, And I
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: always want to give credit to a team because Oklahoma
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: physically won the third quarter.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: They made some plays.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: Obviously, Texas does– there's a lot of that, you know,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Texas fan base, how did we lose that game? And
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: there's some truth in that, right? You give up a
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: special teams touchdown and a pick six. I mean, your
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: odds of losing a game go way, way up, right?
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma had 238 yards of offense, and that game was
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: 2 of 13 on third downs. I've been throwing out
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: on Texas Football YouTube channel all week and on our
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: website that you had a 93.8% chance to win that
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: game in the last 25 years of Division I football
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: if you hold a team under 250 yards and give up.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: 2 of 13 on third down. Those aren't games you're
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: supposed to lose, right?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: But they did, and I think there were some things with,
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: with Arch that kind of came home the roost. Some
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: things that he had shown earlier in the season that
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: kind of came home the roost. And special teams have
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: been porous the last two games, Tennessee and Oklahoma. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: then Arch, you know, Arch has those flashes of tremendous
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: football play, right? But the inconsistencies and some of the
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: head scratchers kind of came home the roost in that game.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: With Florida, I mean, I'm at the point of if
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Texas can't throw the ball.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: This week, when are they?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, never.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Effectively.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: Not say throw the ball because Arch threw for 260
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: and had the two picks. But throw the ball, maybe
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: set a season high in passing yards because everybody else
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: seems to against Florida. But you've got to hold up
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: in the front on pass protection. You've got to win
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: against four if you're Texas, and then you've got to
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: force Florida to bring six.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: If you force Florida to bring six– then.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: People are throwing the ball effectively on the Gators this year.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Maybe the short game, it's been done different ways, but
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: you're going to have opportunities.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I don't love this matchup for Florida. Texas is obviously
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: very talented and Florida is kind of reeling, but I
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: don't love that Florida wants to establish the run and
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: nobody runs on Texas, and then Arch has certainly got
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: his question marks and their secondary is terrible. Like I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: just kind of think like it's, it's Florida's strength up
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: against Texas's strength, which could get negated some for the Gators.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Cause you know, I think ball is better than Bishop.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know that their offensive line is as good
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: as Tennessee's and Bishop couldn't get anything running the ball.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: And then again, I, I, I think, again, if you're Texas,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: if you're not throwing the ball effectively here, unless you
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: are just, which Arch did against Oklahoma on the pick six,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: if you're not putting it up on a silver platter,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: there should be windows for them to find completions here.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: And so it kind of feels like a game to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: me if Texas plays their game and doesn't turn the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: ball over or have lapses in special teams, that Texas
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: can win this comfortably by 14 or so. If they
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: do give Florida those opportunities, it's certainly a team that's
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: talented enough to beat you because it did it last year.
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for the Texas side, this starts with taking away
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Jaden Ball.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And this is where I think, and I'm not sure,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: I say limiting.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure he's going to be shut down like
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Missouri did earlier this year.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Again, we'll see.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: Texas has the ability to do that. But here's why
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: I say that that's always going to be the key, right?
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: When you have a back like Jaden Ball, especially in that,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Stretch play, that wide zone, Missouri really shut down that day.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: What I think is interesting about Florida now, and I'm
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: waiting to see this with the Gators, is when they
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: have their pieces, all their skill around Jaden Ball, I
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: think teams have to take a hat out of the box.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: And once Vernell Brown was out, and Singleton's more of
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: going out there getting cardio, because he wasn't 100% versus
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: being a real threat. And Missouri's also a wide zone
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: offensive team, so they practice against it a lot.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: But you have the ability to put the extra hat
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: in the box.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: So I know Florida fans have been, oh, our offensive
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: line is not good now. I think there's elements there,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: but I also think, just the simplicity of the game
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: is Vernell Brown out, Eric Singleton limited, and what you
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: thought you were going to be, well, then you can
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: put the extra hat in the box. And if you
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: can outmatch, you're going to win against the run a
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: large percentage of the time. So here's my long-winded answer
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: to the question is, can Texas limit the run with
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: a lighter box? Can they win enough one-on-one matchups if
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Dallas Turner– Vernell Brown, and Singleton are all out there
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: on the field. Because in the misdirection, then everything starts
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: to have a better opportunity.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: To work for Florida effectively.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: But again, if Texas can take away Ball or limit
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Ball with a light box, then Florida's going to have
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: a tough time. If Texas has to bring the extra
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: hat into the box, if Ball gets going early and say, okay, well,
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: we've got to bring the extra hat into the box–
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: Then Texas is Dallas Wilson, Vernell Brown, Singleton. Somebody's going
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: to have a favorable matchup on the island. They're really
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: good players. Not many teams have three defensive backs the
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: level you need to hold down all three of those
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: guys over a full game. I think they're really good players.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I think they're four skill guys. They're three wides and
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: Jaden Ball together. maybe the most talented quartet in the SEC.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: But Florida fans haven't seen those guys healthy in the
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: same game for an extended period of time all season.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: I also think.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Vernell Brown as a pump returner is something in this
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: game as well. But it comes down to taking away
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: the run if you're Texas or limiting the run without
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: putting the extra hat in the box. But also now
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: there's the other piece to this, TJ. Tramell Jones likely
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: to be the starter, right? I think we– Philo's listed
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: as questionable, but I think people believe that cover Florida
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: that he's not going to go and Tramiel Jones is
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: going to get his first college start. So if that
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: is the case, it's a pretty tough spot for Tramiel
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: Jones in Austin against Will Muschamp's defense in his first
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: career start. I'm not saying he's not a good player.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I saw him at Mandarin in high school, Jacksonville Mandarin,
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: when I was covering Jamie French as recruitment for Texas.
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: He has talent. He's a super smart kid. That's a
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: tough spot if that's your first start.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: First start against a pass rush that put 10 packs on,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: you know, and we've talked about the run game and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: what extra bodies might look like there, Florida again, now
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: extra man in the box can certainly impact it. But
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: if Florida doesn't have the running game going, it's pin
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: your ears back time for seven and the boys, like
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: four first rounders, which is, which ask, ask, ask my
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: boy phase on about that. It's like, it's a tough life.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Third and ten against a really good defensive coordinator. Third
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: and longs against a really good defensive coordinator that has
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: a bunch of NFL guys on his defensive front is
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: never a formula for success. Also has a linebacker like
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Raheem Biles, who is a real playmaker on the ball.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: He is a great spy. He creates turnovers. None of
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: that's a good formula. So I do think first down
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: offense for Florida is going to be very key on
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: the road in Austin.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: What about offensively for Texas? Again, we've talked about the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: ups and downs with Arch, but it feels like a
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Florida defense that certainly the last two weeks with Sellers
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and Simmons going off, a Florida defense that at least
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: right now can be gotten.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: If you're Texas....
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you feel like it's probably a get-right
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: game for Arch? And if not now, then are you
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: going to get a get-right game? I mean, you know,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: is Arkansas on the schedule? You know, like, is there
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: somebody that we can play that's got a worse defense?
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: It feels like, man, it's got to be this week.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the rest of October, and I've kind
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: of coined it on On Texas Football, must win October
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: after you take a loss, right, with the expectations Texas had.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: They have Florida, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State at home.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: The rest of the month.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: Florida about 109 in total defense, Ole Miss 108, Mississippi
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: State around 96. To your point, TJ, this is the time.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: And I've said before, I think the box score, I
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: think the scoring opportunities, yards, yards per play, I think
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: all those numbers are going to look better for Texas
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: than the rest of the month. And it's only natural
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: because you played Matt Patricia in Ohio State. Jim Knowles
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: in Tennessee, and Brent Venables in Oklahoma. Three of the
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: best DCs in college football, and they all have a
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: bunch of NFL players.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: So it's only.
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: Natural you're playing lesser defenses. Lesser DCs may not. How
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: about less established DCs? Those guys have great resume.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: It's good PR. You're being nice on a Thursday.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: Thank you. But to your point.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'll get right back to chatting with Jerry. But first,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: do me a favor. If you are watching this and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you are not currently subscribed here, hit that button. Don't
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: ask for it on every single video. Try out the
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Mabarji with you guys. But we are getting really close
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to a pretty big milestone, a pretty big goal. And
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: we would love if you helped us hit it. Second,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: if you are already subscribed, I know many of you are.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Make sure you're subscribed over on audio as well. Just
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: type in College Football Addiction over on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Spreaker, wherever.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: And we would love if you supported us there as well.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: It doesn't cost anything. It is free. We would love
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: your support. All right, back to the interview.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: To your point, Lenore Sellers, Byron Brown threw the ball
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: on Florida. 271 yards. Lenore Sellers had his best game
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: of the season. Sure, your dad's going to do it
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: against anybody, right? But you have seen that quarterbacks have
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: kind of had their best game. Austin Simmons had their
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: best game throwing the football or a get well game
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: throwing the football.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Against Florida.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Florida's given up 293 yards passing per game, I believe
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: is the number this year, and it's about the same
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: in SEC play.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: So I think the key here for.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: Texas is, and this is one of the things, Rod Babers,
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: who is a big part of our On Texas Football channel,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: former Texas corner and NFL corner, for the Texas fans
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: that listen to this, he loves Texas going more higher
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: percentage of 10 personnel, 11 personnel, your staple, 10 personnel
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: versus 12 personnel.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: I agree with Rod on that.
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: I think that's going to make the game easier for Arch,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: better offensively for this Texas team. My biggest thing with
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: the Texas offense, there's two right now, TJ, is what
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: personnel groupings, no matter what personnel.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Grouping you're in, can you run the football well enough? Yeah.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: to help Arch and to help maximize this offense and
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: this team.
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: And then two is, I think Arch has had some struggles.
• 12:23
  Speaker 3: I think progressing, progressions in plays. I think when first
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: read is there, or he knows where to go with
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the football, the headset communication, Sark sees it, boom. I
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: think they've been successful. I think once it goes beyond
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: that kind of the, Surviving and making the correct play
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: in chaos has been an issue.
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: When it's chaotic has been an issue.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: So I think there's a couple there for the Texas offense,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: and I know Sark's taking a lot of heat play calling-wise.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: I think when offense is bad, everything's going to be
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: under the microscope. Obviously the head coach is the OC
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: the most, but I think there's a number of issues
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: here for the Texas offense.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: But when you're only playing well in one.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Of the three phases– and that's defense, special teams, and
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: offense have not been where they need to be. There's
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: a lot going on in this game coming up for Texas,
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: and I do think this is a season-defining game for
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: the Longhorns.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: It's a must-win game. Yeah.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: The schedule sets up with a Florida team that beat
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: you last year, Ole Miss team with Trinidad, which can do,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: you know, I want to see it against Texas defense,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: but still can do really special things and has quite often.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: You'd like them, I think, against Mississippi State, knowing kind
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: of where they are defensively. But the Missouri game, Missouri
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: and LSU back-to-back road trips is crazy. Now, I think
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: Arkansas A & M at the end of the year,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: you know, there should certainly be wins. But Missouri is
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: a lot better than I think people realize. And LSU
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: at home is always still LSU at home. I know
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: they've had their, their struggles on the road, but they're
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: a different team. It is man. Like if you lose
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: this one or really any of them, the margin for
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: error is, is zero and taking them back to back. It's,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: it's tough. And man, there's a lot of good teams. I,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: I think 10 and two gets them in, but I
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: don't know that it's a, I don't know that it's
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a guarantee, you know, like I think it's the win
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: against Ohio state is going to help a lot. You're
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: going to have a win against Missouri or LSU or,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: or like you're gonna have really good wins. 10 and
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: two probably does it.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: But I, it's, it's not a guarantee, you know, like you're,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: it's tough, man.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: TJ, great.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: To your point, this is where I've kind of been
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: on the next three games for Texas is it, Even
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: if Texas scores more points in these games, it's not
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: the– it's the how.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: If you're playing lesser.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Defensive teams and you go score more points, that's one thing.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: A lot of people have, right? That's kind of– you know,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: we just talked about the quarterbacks. I mean, South Carolina
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: put up 38.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: In the swamp last week.
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: But it's are you actually improving in the areas you
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: need to improve versus are you finding more success– because
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: of lesser defensive opponents.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: Because if you're not improving in the areas you need
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: to improve, then to your point, what are the odds
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: you're going to go– by the way, A & M' s
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: not– Marcel's playing terrible. A & M' s not very good
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: this year. That's still a road game and a rivalry.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: So are you going to.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Go win three road games in four weeks in November?
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: We see this every year in college football. Somebody's going
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: down and a lot of people are going down in November. Yeah.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: And, you know, with the SEC outside of Georgia, I
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: think there's a ton of parity in this. To your point,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I think anybody, almost anybody can beat anybody.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: I think Arkansas is different, right? That's kind of a
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: different deal. Put them away. But you have to see
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: improvement more than box score impressive. Right.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Because, like you said, when you go to Missouri and
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: when you go to LSU back-to-back, That's going to be
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: high-level games. I don't care what LSU's record necessarily is.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: That's Arch Manning going to LSU. Yeah. And that could
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: be a very desperate LSU team at that time. But
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I think 10-2 is what's going to be required. I mean,
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I think Texas would get in with their schedule. And
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Texas fans are like, you're an idiot for even talking playoffs.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: But we talk about all these scenarios.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: 9-3, I don't think Texas gets in. Yeah, I think
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: it'd be. You've got to win the next three home games,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: bottom line. Yeah.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Zooming out just a little bit. This weekend is phenomenal.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Do you, I think Ohio state's playing as good as
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: anybody in the country right now. Do you think Indiana
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: can win at home?
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: I don't think Indiana is what we saw last week
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: against Nebraska.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: That isn't going to beat Ohio state, right?
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: It's good coaching week for Kirk's and Nettie because they
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: found a way to win a game.
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: They aren't playing at the level.
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: He probably, he would want them to, um, But it's
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: a great coaching week because you did win, and you
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: get to coach these guys super hard leading up to
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: the biggest game of your season. I think Ohio State's
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: got some interesting injuries. Siverand's not playing. He's listed as
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: out on the injury report. Ohio State, that's maybe significant
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: for them in this game. But I still look at this. Indiana,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: while their numbers are good, and I think Turbo Richards,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: a really good back they got out of the portal,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: are they going to run the ball well enough? the
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: rest of the season, close to the level they did
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: last year. I think that's something to watch. I still
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: think they can run the ball, but are they to
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: that level? How does it look like this year so far?
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: But I actually pick Ohio State, and maybe I'm dumb
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: to go against Cignetti.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: How many games is it, Walt? Does this seem like
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I'm an idiot right now?
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: I am an idiot probably, but I do like Ohio
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: State in this game because, look, I think Ohio State
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: may have been building since the Texas loss a little
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: bit and I'm not sure Indiana's playing at the level
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: that people thought they would early this year so I
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: like Ohio State in this game without looking at the
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: weather report or anything crazy.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah I'm I'm on Ohio State and again betting against
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: or picking against Cignetti kind of feels futile like picking
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: against Kirby and I usually get proven wrong but if
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: I get proven wrong then so be it can BYU
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: mount anything Against Notre Dame?
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: Look, unless the entire Notre Dame team can't handle the altitude.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: I say no.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would love to see the upset, but I
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: just don't know that it's super realistic.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: And I'm not saying it's not possible, TJ. Look, anything's possible.
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: That's going to be a crazy crowd.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: It's in Provo. My issue is LJ Martin's out, I believe,
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: for BYU.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: He is, yeah.
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Okay, so their best offensive player's out, and their run
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: game threat is out. Notre Dame is really good on defense. Like,
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: they can man you up and they can take away
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: your run game. And I think CJ Carr, even though
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: he's starting to get some run, I think CJ Carr
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: is being undervalued as a college quarterback right now.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Is he the most dynamic guy? Is he the most
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: talented guy?
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: No.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I think he may be the smartest quarterback in college football, though.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: He can get you in and out of plays. He
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: can make the calls and the checks at the line
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: of scrimmage. He can get you right after that headset
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: clicks off at 15 seconds.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: And I think that's underrated.
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: And they are starting to run the football better with
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: the freshman, Jonas Walton.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: So I like Notre Dame in this case.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Missouri and Ole Miss I don't know that we had
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: that one circled before the season but two of the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: better quarterbacks in this conference and Ole Miss is a
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: seven point favorite at home I kind of worry about
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: their defense a little bit against Austin Simmons and I
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: like their defense a little bit more than I like
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: uh I like their defense. Not that I like anybody
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: to slow Trinidad down incredibly, but maybe I'm still high
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: on that Florida game, but I like their defense. I
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: think they've got a good chance to go pull the upset.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: We'll see if they do, but road wins in the
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: sec are tough, but I like, I kind of like Missouri.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: Here and they can run the football.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Can't stop anybody.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: There you go.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: I may not be at the health of key one Lacey.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I, where is he at?
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: But, Look, I think what's interesting to this game is
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: this was a quarterback competition a year ago in Oxford, too.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Austin Simmons was the starter.
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Then he got Wally Pipped, you know, by Trinidad, who
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: are the best players in America.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: So Austin Simmons is going back home to Ole Miss. Now,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: he ain't getting the Lane Kiffin treatment.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: We know that.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: But Austin Simmons will be pretty motivated to go.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Against Trinidad Chambliss in this game, too. I think Eli's–
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: I think his team comes in with a ton of confidence.
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah. A ton of confidence.
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: But if Ole Miss can't stop the run, they can
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: absolutely– if they can't limit it because Missouri's still got
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: the leading rusher in the SEC even with Jaden Hardy
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: over there watching as he rehabs. I like Missouri to
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: pull the upset in this game. It's going to be
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: high scoring though. This could come down to the last
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: team with the ball.
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: College football so often is better than you could script–
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: And so like, you just kind of like, you know,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: it's kind of, kind of scripted, you know? And so like,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: not by anybody, you know, not like by Greg Sankey,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: but just by like God or whoever, like you could
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: see Simmons going back in there and getting the, like,
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: that's just kind of the way these things work out. So,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: all right, Texas, Florida, give me a score and we'll
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: get out.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Uh, I've got Texas 34, 27. Like I'm a little,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: I think the line jumped to 11 and a half. Um,
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Because Philo, I think, you know, people don't think he's–
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: Vegas doesn't think he's going to.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: Play, right?
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: It jumped from 9.5 to 11.5.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: But I do.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Think Florida presents, if they're healthy enough, right, which they
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: have in the last two games, I think they can score. Look,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Will Muschamp's really good. The Texas defense is really good.
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: But they're about to face better offensive personnel talent-wise than
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: they have to this date, save Ohio State. And I–
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: Special teams worries me for Texas in this game. So
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: let me change that.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: 34-24 Texas.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I kind of like Texas. I kind of like
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Texas by multiple scores unless things get fluky, which I
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: guess I said that last week too. But I think
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Florida is going to– if it's Jones, I think they'll
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: score some. But I don't know if they can do
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: it consistently enough. And I think Texas takes care of
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: the ball a little bit better than they did last week.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: Well, you would hope so. You would hope.
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: Where can people follow you? What do you got coming
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: this week as we get closer to kickoff?

  Speaker 1: do a video on any random team, Notre Dame and
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: two comments back to back. We'll say, I've never seen
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: somebody who knows less about football than you. And then
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: the very next one will be, this is the best
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: breakdown I've ever heard. I've been a Notre Dame fan
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: for 45 years. The best one I've ever heard. I
