• 1:03
  Speaker 5: It's, uh, Thursday, got football on tonight, even though it's
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: kind of a poo game. It's all right.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: It's all right.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: We'll watch.
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: We have two good ones in a row.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: We'll watch.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: We'll watch hard. We'll watch Michael Penix Jr. I'm excited
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: to see that. Makes it a little bit better. Yeah,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: it makes it more exciting.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Cooper Rush. Or Tua. Or Tua. Or Jack Strand or
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: any of the other quarterbacks.
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: It's week three, and this is their third quarterback they're
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: playing already.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Not ideal.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: Not great. It's not ideal. Well, this is the one
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: we like.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: Two is not even one of the quarterbacks that have played.
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: The guy you signed to be your starter is not
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: one of the three quarterbacks that has played yet.
• 1:44
  Speaker 7: Everyone just point a laugh at the Falcons for a
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: second because that.
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: Is just so damn funny to me. Dang funny.
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: Very classic Falcons. I think this is the one, though,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: that they want to play more. Yes.
• 1:57
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: First two games.
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: So we're saying they didn't even count. Yeah, I'm not
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: sure if his knees want him to play anymore.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: They took him eighth overall.
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: He didn't say it couldn't happen.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: He did not say that it could not happen. They
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: took him eighth overall.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: When they had a quarterback they had just signed in
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: that offseason to a big contract.
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: We're going to go ahead and need you to play.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: What is it you say you do here?
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: What is your role?
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: Define your role for us. Uh-huh.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: Well, I like to practice. I love it. Games, not
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: so much.
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: It is.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: I came back and I was telling you how bad
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: their practice was during training camp. And it is playing
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: out to be just that. The one that was most
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: impressive to me was the Chiefs.
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: And the Bills.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: They were both 2-0. The Falcons and the Browns were
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: probably the ones that I was like, eh.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: They got one win. Brown's got one.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: And Munkin did not like Brown's going to Brown. And
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: I'm trying to think, because somebody said it.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: It was Tomlin.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Tomlin?
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: They were talking about it Sunday night. Now, I think
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: a lot of people said that. Thousands upon thousands of
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: media members across the world said it. Yeah, but when
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: a former head coach like that, that you probably have
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: a lot of respect for, says it.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: It gets back to you. It probably made Munkin kind
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: of sad.
• 3:25
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: But, I mean, they were his division rival. Of course
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: he's going to say it. He didn't.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: Tomlin doesn't like the Browns. It's part of the reason
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: why they stunk for so long.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I loved it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: Tomlin actually took a little credit for their win.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Did he?
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. He's like, you're welcome for giving you a little
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: bulletin board material. Okay.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: The AFC North, more than, I mean, maybe more than
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: any division, just doesn't like each other very much.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and they shouldn't.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: Like, every team that plays hates each other. And that's
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: a good thing. That's a good thing. No, I love Port.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah. I love. I'd love hating the Raiders and the Chiefs.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: Nobody really hates that coach for the Bengals, though. Zach Taylor? Yeah,
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: nobody really cares. I think they're surprised he's there. Yeah,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: he's like, oh, good, you're still here. You're the most
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: tenured fella here.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: I mean, although they look pretty awesome.
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: I was like that. Let's wait and see on their defense.
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: Their defense is legit.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, the.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Additions they made in that offseason are paying off big time.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: It was probably the conversation on NFL radio that we
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: had the most is, okay, you got these teams that
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: have a quarterback and an offense, and they were horrid
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: on defense. Which one can... The Cowboys were in the conversation.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: The Commanders were in the conversation. The Bengals certainly were
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: in that conversation. The Giants. And we went back and forth,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: and I was like, the Bengals made some good moves
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: on all three levels. Now... For the Bengals, they had
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: some young linebackers that were bad because they were rookies.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: They were young and dumb, like we all were in
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: the NFL. You don't know any better. You're just trying
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: to not screw up. And they put a lot of
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: faith into those players and didn't sign any veterans, and
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: that's paid off for them too, at least for Demetrius Knight.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: He's played awesome. Yeah, it's paid off to them up
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: to this point.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: And I hope they maintain it. I hope they can
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: stay healthy. They've kind of proven the last couple of
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: years that it's hard for them to stay healthy, but
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: they do. I mean, it's been a while that Joe
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: has been healthy, and it looks like they at least
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: have a complete team around him.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: So we'll see. As Joe Burrow fans, we'll be cheering on.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: I don't know. I like two teams in the AFC North.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: And Jamar. Yes. Shout out Jamar.
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: Shout out to Jamar.
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Did you end up trading him? No.
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: I'm like, you want me to give you the person
• 5:57
  Speaker 7: that scored me the most points last week?
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: Why would I do that? My entire bench on fantasy
• 6:01
  Speaker 8: football is injured right now.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: Whoever you were talking to seemed disrespected.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: You're not going to do what?
• 6:13
  Speaker 7: And then he said something about my team being not good.
• 6:16
  Speaker 7: And I was like, you're definitely not going to get
• 6:17
  Speaker 7: him with that attitude.
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: Not the way to my heart.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: No.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: But yeah, my entire bench is injured.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: It's okay.
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: Everybody stand in solidarity with me.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Hey, it's going to be fine. It's a long season.
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: A lot of season. A lot of football to be played.
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: I didn't like the way that sounded when you said
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: it on Monday.
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it didn't sound great.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: So much football left.
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: So much football. There's ten games. Yeah. Nine.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Nine.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: I forgot about a lot of tech. My bad.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: That's on me. That's on me.
• 6:57
  Speaker 6: It still counts as a game, Matt.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I don't count them.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: I don't do it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: We're in the Sun Belt, man.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: I like the Sun Belt.
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: LSU was almost in the Sun Belt.
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: That is a good point.
• 7:07
  Speaker 6: I mean, come on, Matt.
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: Come on now. Come on now.
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: For like three days, it was like our destiny.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I love the Sun Belt. On a Wednesday night in November.
• 7:17
  Speaker 6: So does Miami. Why does Miami never play on Saturdays?
• 7:20
  Speaker 6: They haven't played on Saturday yet this year.
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: I don't know. That's a good point.
• 7:26
  Speaker 6: They've been Friday, Thursday, Friday. Do you want to be
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: a Mac school that bad?
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: You're Miami.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: You're supposed to be a big-time brand. Why are you
• 7:33
  Speaker 6: not on Saturday?
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: That's an interesting observation. Didn't think about this.
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: Me and Alondra were talking about it when y'all were
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: at Rouse's last week.
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 7:41
  Speaker 6: Because we were looking at the parlays. She's like, they're
• 7:43
  Speaker 6: on Friday again? And we went back and looked. Friday, Thursday, Friday.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Now, does the school schedule that? Do they plan that out?
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: Or is it a TV thing?
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Oh, no. I was thinking, does it have something to
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: do with them sharing the stadium with the Dolphins?
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Hmm. Well, I'm sure they're not. They hadn't been at
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: home for all three games. No, I mean. They were
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: away on one of them.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I remember.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think it matters. I don't think that matters.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Maybe for Miami, they're thinking, let's get on some standalone nights.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they've been away twice.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: They've been away twice. They can't be the ones that
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: schedule that. It's got to be a TV thing.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: I think you have to agree to that, though.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: I don't think they can tell you you're playing.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: On a Friday?
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: NFL tells you when you're playing on Monday.
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: Conference games are from the conference.
• 8:41
  Speaker 7: And then non-conference games, individual school athletic directors and coaches book.
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: Their non-conference games.
• 8:48
  Speaker 7: And then once games are set, the TV networks coordinate
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: with the conference and the school. to select game times
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: and broadcast slots.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: So it's a little bit of everybody. And we'd like
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: for you to play on a Friday night.
• 9:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: We'd really like for you to play on.
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: A Friday night. I don't know.
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: Maybe it kind of started with them just because they
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: can't draw anybody on a Saturday afternoon.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Probably. Maybe Friday they can get some people. Friday's reserved for, like,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: the West Canaan Coyotes.
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too. Miami's got some good.
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: High school football.
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: Miami Central High School. That's the Friday night game.
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: Be better, Miami. How about Saturday? They do look pretty good. Whispers.
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: They look pretty good. When do they play Notre Dame?
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: They actually play Saturday the rest of the year.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: Not the point, though, Matt. Not the point. That ruins
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: the narrative.
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: We're going to ignore that.
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: We're going to ignore what the rest.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Of the year was.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: I'm talking up to week four they hadn't played.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: When do they play Notre Dame? Because I want them
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: to beat them by 112. They play Notre Dame on
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: November the 8th.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: 7th.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: I'll be tuned into that one.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: It's their only ranked game they have all year.
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: Miami. Yeah.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: One.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: I will be hate watching that hard. That almost makes
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: me angry.
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: It makes me very angry. LSU will play more ranked.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: Teams in these two weeks than Miami will play all year.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: And they're graded on the same curve. Yeah, they all
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: feed into the same playoff system. It is not fair.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: It's cowardly.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: How do you get that while playing in a conference?
• 10:39
  Speaker 6: Because we crap on Notre Dame all the time.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: They have two?
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I will say for Miami... They have Clemson and Florida
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: State on their schedule. Those two teams just happen to
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: be bad now.
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: Oh, Miami? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I'm fine. Miami's in a conference. Whatever.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: It's fine. I'm good with that.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: I was talking about Miami. They have one in Notre Dame.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: That's their ranked game. Oh, well, Notre Dame's the same thing.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: In the opposite direction. They have two.
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: Who? Actually, three.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: But two top ten matchups on their schedule. Miami being
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: one of them and BYU being the other. BYU's number nine.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: I think it's coming up, isn't it?
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: That is October the 17th. So, coming up-ish.
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: Can't believe it's almost October.
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: Don't you turn a Notre Dame hate session into hating
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: somebody else.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Well, to your point, though, at least Miami is in
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: a conference. They can't help that Clemson and Florida State.
• 11:43
  Speaker 8: Aren't good.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because if you'd looked at that years ago, you'd
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: be like, we got Clemson and Florida State back-to-back weeks? Yeah.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: My God. Not so much anymore.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: No.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Not so much.
• 11:54
  Speaker 8: Both pretty bad, especially Clemson.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: For Notre Dame, it goes Purdue, North Carolina, Stanford, BYU, Navy, Miami,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Boston College.
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: Here they're salty this year. SMU and Syracuse.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: Now, no Clemson. Ended up pulling one out. But do
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: we think that Tabba makes it?
• 12:16
  Speaker 8: It's North Carolina.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Do we think he makes it to the end of
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: the season?
• 12:21
  Speaker 8: I think so.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: I think they let him decide that he's going to
• 12:26
  Speaker 7: step away from the program.
• 12:27
  Speaker 4: They'll mutually part ways.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: How would you feel if you weren't the head coach
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: here anymore?
• 12:33
  Speaker 8: What if we moved on?
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: Just thinking out loud. We'll give you a great position,
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: nice office. But you won't do anything.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: I got Cal tomorrow, and I think Cal is actually
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: a favorite in that game because Clemson's got to go
• 12:51
  Speaker 6: all the way on the other side. If they lose
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: that and get blown out by Miami, that's going to
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: be tough.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: It's at Cal, Miami, Charleston Southern, Virginia Tech at home,
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: at Florida State, at Syracuse, Georgia Tech at home, at Duke,
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: South Carolina at home.
• 13:07
  Speaker 6: Virginia Tech's not ranked, but they've looked good.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Florida State at Florida State would be tough, too.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: I'm so upset with Bill Belichick and his man boobs
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: not finishing the job this past weekend. Oh, because you
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: blew the pontoon parlay? I did blow the pontoon parlay.
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: You blew it. Now I'm mad about that.
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: Are you the only one that didn't hit?
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: Yep. Yeah, we're perfect. No, Bill Belichick did not hit
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: for us.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: Funny how that works.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: I know. I know. I even went money line with mine.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: I said Mississippi State's going to win.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: That was obvious.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: Not just cover.
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: That was clear. They were a five-point dog. Yeah, but
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: Vegas is dumb. We talked about this yesterday.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Who did Mississippi State play? A bad team with a
• 13:56
  Speaker 4: bad quarterback. Their name is? South Carolina. Say it so Marler.
• 14:02
  Speaker 4: Omar's not up. No, Marler's not up. Are you kidding me?
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: Say it so Marler can hear it.
• 14:08
  Speaker 6: He will come running.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: Hey, mamas.
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: He posted a video doing that yesterday.
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: Wow. Why did that become his thing?
• 14:18
  Speaker 8: I don't know.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: He loves it.
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: Yesterday, he said, instead of flew too close to the sun,
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: he said he rode too close to the sun.
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: And I said, no, that's not it.
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: And then in my head, I imagined him on a
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: motorcycle riding toward the sun. So then I took a
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: screenshot from his video where he's like, hey, mamas. And
• 14:36
  Speaker 7: I put it in chat in George Paul Thomas. And
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: I was like, hey. Put him on a motorcycle riding
• 14:44
  Speaker 7: toward the sun.
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: Sure you did.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: And they did.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: And the way they made it, he was like looking
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: back at it. He was like this. And I was like,
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: I took this from your Hey Mama's video.
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: Oh my gosh. I don't think he'd be on a motorcycle.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: I think he's more of a moped.
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: Probably so. But in my head, that's how. Yeah. Vespa.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: The electric scooters maybe.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know that his balance is good enough for that, but.
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: I feel like they shouldn't let athletes get on those
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: electric scooters.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Those things are... Yeah, I don't know why they did it. Like, say,
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: I'm a big moped guy. Yeah, me too. From college.
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: We all had mopeds. That's what we had. We zoomed around.
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: Was it Yamaha Zooms? Is that what it was?
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: I said we zoomed around. Zoom, zoom. Zoom, zoom. I
• 15:32
  Speaker 4: think it was. I think they were called Zooms. Actually,
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: it might have been. Yeah, we all had mopeds, you know,
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: like real men.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah.
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Now they have the electric scooters.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: We were supposed to wear the helmets that were, you know,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: certified with the state.
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: DOT approved. And we wore bicycle helmets.
• 15:49
  Speaker 7: I mean, we're going to be paying all this money
• 15:52
  Speaker 7: to these athletes.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: I need them to stay off the electric scooters.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, maybe get them a moped or two.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: I used to say, because they passed that rule, we
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: had to wear helmets, like second year of college for
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: me or whatever. And so I would never wear it
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: because it wasn't that cool. But I would put it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: on the handlebar just in case I saw.
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: I saw the 5-0.
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: I got caught so many times. They would pull up
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: behind me. I got caught so many times around campus
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: without my helmet on. I didn't even know. I was
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: stopped at a red light and behind me the cop
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: got on the microphone and said, Matt, put your helmet on.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: Oops.
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: We will take a break. Got a lot coming your
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: way here on Thursday. Some good energy here on Thursday.
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: It's always good when you can start making fun of
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame and Clemson to start the show. We'll take
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: a look at Texas A & M, we'll take a
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: look at the Raiders, the LSU and Saints opponents coming
• 16:53

  Speaker 9: Slow ride.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: All right, welcome back in OTB.
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: Thursday morning.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: You know, one of the things that as we continue
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: looking at LSU and Texas A & M that we
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: haven't really mentioned when it comes to LSU because, you know,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: they gave up some yards obviously through the air last
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: week and there's a lot of people that thought maybe
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: the defense would play a little bit better. And if
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: you go watch our film breakdown on Eye in the Sky,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: there was plays to be made. Position here, position there.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Half a step here, half a step there based off
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: what the technique should be. But with all that being said,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: even though you did give up yards through the air,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: you didn't give up anything on the ground. Lacey, I
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: know he went out with injury, but you really didn't
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: give anything to Trinidad Chambliss.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: He had that one run at the very end, but
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: you're still the number one rush defense in the country.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: And you're the number one rush defense in the country
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: by seven full yards. You give up 33 yards per game.
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: Navy is second with 40.5. Georgia is third with 45.7.
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: So you're 15... plus yards above where number three is.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: They've been dominant, even against a good rushing attack in
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss. We'll reiterate again, Marcel Reed has to be
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: a thrower in this game. And I think, right, with
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: how good you've been, the candidates that you have to
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: be able to I'm not saying you spy Marcel Reed
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: every single play, but to come up with a game plan,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: and I know you've had some injuries in the back end,
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: but you still have to make him beat you throwing
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: the football, showing you that he can read the defense,
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: go through his progressions, deliver an accurate football. He's got
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: to be better than he has been in the air,
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: and then if he is, then you adjust to that.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: If he's the same guy, you win this game. If
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: you don't allow him to do what he's done the
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: last two years... You win the game. Yeah, you just
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: got to make him play like everybody else. He plays
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: against LSU better than anybody for whatever reason. A lot
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: of that is it's not luck.
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: It's just coincidental that he's had his best couple of
• 21:23
  Speaker 5: games versus you. LSU's defense is really good to stop
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: in the run because you're getting good defensive line play.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: You're getting great linebacker play. And Blake Baker's bringing a
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: lot of different pressures and pressures. Aren't always just a sack,
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: the quarterback there to create challenges in the running game
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: as well. And when you bring pressures, you're putting a
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: lot of people in the box. So like you're, he,
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: he is taking calculated risks out there.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Um, it really hasn't, it really hasn't jumped up to
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: bite us at any point. Uh, Ole Miss made some plays,
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: but it wasn't because of calculated risk. Guys were in
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: position to make plays, and one small technique was the
• 22:06
  Speaker 5: reason for a lot of the big plays that Trinidad made.
• 22:09
  Speaker 5: But one small technique versus a dynamic elite player can
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: get you beat, and it did. Now, Marcel Reed is
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: not Trinidad Chambliss, so even if you do make those
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: small mistakes, he might get you a couple times, but
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: he's not going to get you consistently like Trinidad was
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: getting you. Um, so yeah, the, the run game is,
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: is pretty simple. Like they're, they're doing a really good
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: job stopping the run because there's just more people in
• 22:36
  Speaker 5: the box than the other team and they're playing really well.
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: And they're tackling, it's not, they're, they're not having to
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: gang tackle people. You're not seeing like one guy miss
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: a tackle. And then all of a sudden he springs
• 22:48
  Speaker 5: for eight, nine, 10 more yards consistently because everybody's straining.
• 22:52
  Speaker 5: We talked about the word strength. Like everybody is fighting
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: to get to the ball. And that's an attitude that
• 22:58
  Speaker 5: is a mindset. That's the DNA of this team is
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: to fight. And we've seen it from every position. Even
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: the guys that have a bad play or have a
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: bad game, they're still fighting. A lot has been said
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: about Sam Levitt. But my God, that kid's got some heart.
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: And he's got some competitive nature to him. Now, you
• 23:17
  Speaker 5: can't– doesn't mean you're– it doesn't win you games, but
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: it sure– Sure as hell helps because you can clean
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: up a lot of the other stuff. I'm excited to
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: see the defense go out there and finally right or
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: wrong with Marcel Reed. I think they take care of business.
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: I think this team has the right mindset. I think
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: they bounce back. Obviously, I think they're going to win.
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: I'm going to pick them to win, but I think
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: they win. I think they win big.
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: Outside of Marcel Reed, Owens, the running back, On the year,
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: 45 carries, 186 yards, one touchdown. Craver's been their best receiver.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: He's got 19 catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: Marcel Reed on the season.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: He is six touchdowns, three interceptions, 632 through the air
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: to kind of give you a look at what they
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: are offensively. Now, defensively, where Texas A & M has
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: been certainly stout in the past, Against Missouri State, they
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: didn't give up any points. No disrespect to Missouri State.
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: That's Missouri State. Against Arizona State, you give up 20,
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: and then you give up 31 to Kentucky last week.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: And so I take a look at the, okay, who's
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: had success against them, how they do it. It's Kentucky.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Kentucky's quarterback was very efficient. He was 14 of 18,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: 252 yards, so 14 per attempt. That's a big, big number.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: Two touchdowns, no interceptions. They also stay committed to the run, though.
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: 36 carries, 156 yards. And they had two scores by
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: their starting running back, C.J. Baxter, who came over from Texas.
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: So that just, to me, is like efficiency. You probably
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: didn't take a whole lot of chances. You hit a
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: big play in the passing game. And I'm not trying
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: to be funny here. We know that offense. We've seen
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: that offense here. Joe Sloan's the offense coordinator there. And look,
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: you've got Will Stein's stuff, too, obviously. But their game
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: plan was, hey, We're going to high percentage passes. We're
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: going to stay committed to the run. Baxter had 19 carries.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Patterson had six carries. Skinner had two carries. I mean,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: so they got three running backs involved in the game plan.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: Do you expect LSU to kind of have that same
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: game plan where a quarterback is going to be under
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: 20 attempts? You're going to try to establish the run,
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: control the clock, or do you see something different from LSU?
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think that's what LSU has tried to
• 25:44
  Speaker 5: do all season is establish the run. Some of that
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: has been Sam Levitt taking off, but I think that
• 25:52
  Speaker 5: kind of got away from that this past week in
• 25:55
  Speaker 5: the first half, I was kind of yelling to the TV,
• 25:57
  Speaker 5: like run the ball, run the ball. But like, like
• 25:59
  Speaker 5: we looked at our film review and like, there was
• 26:01
  Speaker 5: a lot of times where the run was there. It
• 26:03
  Speaker 5: just made a bad count, made a bad read, try
• 26:05
  Speaker 5: to make, try to make too much happen. Maybe trying
• 26:08
  Speaker 5: to press a little bit at quarterback and try to
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: make a play with his arm early. Um, But sometimes
• 26:15
  Speaker 5: it's not time to press. It's not time to push it.
• 26:17
  Speaker 5: It's not time to take a risk.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: It's time to read your keys. Read the keys, especially
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: early in the game. And I think that's probably a
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: big coaching.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: First down runs. I don't know if you were wanting
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: on certain downs on the broadcast.
• 26:28
  Speaker 4: First down.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: On the broadcast, I was like, run the ball on
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: first down. Like I said, just like that. Because when
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: they did, it was a completely different drive. Now, I
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: think it probably happened a little too late because you
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: got down. Now, I do give them credit. I give
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: LSU credit last week for not panicking because they had
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: the clock, and a lot of teams panic in that situation.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: It was so good to see in the third quarter,
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: even down 10, they were still running the football in
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: first down because they knew they had time, and then, look,
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: you tied it up. They stayed committed, and it was–
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I wish they would have got to it a little
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: bit sooner, but they got to it.
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: First down runs to make it second and six, huge.
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: They're huge. And certainly, I think with the way Sam–
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: was trying to find himself into the game, and he
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: did at some point. It wasn't perfect, but he got
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: better as the game went along. Second and six to
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: a quarterback, you could speak way better to that portion.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: Of it than I could. It's just staying on schedule.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Keeping your offense on schedule.
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Second and ten is not on schedule, especially second and
• 27:27
  Speaker 5: ten after a run-around scramble for no yards and take
• 27:31
  Speaker 5: two hits along the way. That's not what you want
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: to do. Less than ideal. That's not the key to
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: season-long success.
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: Right. So I think that was probably a really big point.
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: It should have been a big point of emphasis this
• 27:45
  Speaker 5: week was run the ball, establish, assert our dominance on
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: the line. Let's give this offensive line that, you know,
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: there may be, like from what Lane said earlier in
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: the week, there might be some new pieces. There might
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: be a little bit more of a rotation on the
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: interior part of the offensive line.
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe right now.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: Like that's just kind of, you know, reading between the
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: lines on what Lane said earlier this week. And what's
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: the best way to get some new guys feet under him?
• 28:11
  Speaker 5: It's not pass protection. It's going to be run blocking.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: Like go, go downhill, put your face in their face,
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: drive them off the ball. And let's establish the run
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: game earlier, early. So, um, I expect to see it early.
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: I expect to see it often. And then on top
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: of that, you're going to have the, the threat of
• 28:28
  Speaker 5: Sam's legs, play action, pass, practice the RPOs, throw it
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: when the numbers and the count is not advantageous in
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: the box. And, um, I think LSU comes out firing
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: on cylinders, and I think Sam does start to make
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: the improvements. Now, is it realistic that he's going to
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: make every improvement we saw and every improvement we talked
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: about and going through all his progressions perfectly and everything? No,
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: your quarterback's going to make some mistakes. It always happens.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: But I think you're going to see steady improvement from Sam.
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: At least that's my hope, and I'm going to choose
• 29:01
  Speaker 5: to believe.
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Nine times in the second half, LSU ran the football
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: in first down. There we go.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: Nine times in the second half. I love throwing it
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: on first down. Don't get me wrong. Not me. But
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: not everyone.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: Nine times. Like, being down 17 points and staying committed
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: to it nine times, that part of it they got
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: figured out. We'll see if they can continue more of
• 29:26

• 32:02
  Speaker 3: and they've got it all put together for you. Go
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: to Rouses.com, football Friday, tomorrow, 7 to 10 a.m. We've
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: talked a lot about the games coming up. It's a great,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: great slate of games this weekend. And last weekend was
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: so poor that college football needed this one. It was
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: one big game and everybody else. And now you've got
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: a full slate of games, at least in the SEC.
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: We expect to be very competitive. But there's some teams
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: that are still playing bad teams. So it's hard to,
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: right now with the AP poll, it's hard to even
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: look at it and try to justify, you know, Indiana.
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Defending national champ.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: I get it. They've played North Texas, Howard, and Western Kentucky.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: They got Northwestern this weekend, though.
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: Wait, did they get beat by the?
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: The Colorado beat the hell out of Northwestern.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Nope.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Northwestern beat the hell out of Colorado.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Oh. 41-7?
• 33:01
  Speaker 9: 41-7.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, I should have known that.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: Don't you dare try to guess. I should have known
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: that Tay-Tay.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: And, you know, the video went viral of them crapping
• 33:10
  Speaker 6: on the stadium. Then they got their ass kicked up there.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: Not that I was keeping track or anything.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: But that did happen.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: Indiana, 21-point favorite in this one. You got to hit it.
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: You got to hit it. I was watching. Not too shabby.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I was.
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: Three touchdowns.
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: Taylor would say a high school team could beat Colorado.
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: He would.
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: You've got Texas and Tennessee, number one Texas, traveling to
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: number 14, Tennessee.
• 33:39
  Speaker 8: I wouldn't go that far.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: No, I wouldn't say that at all.
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: Hey, Georgia Tech can't.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Right now, Texas is a four-point favorite on the road
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: in Neyland. That's going to be a hell of a
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: football game. You've got Illinois traveling to number seven, Ohio State.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Ohio State, 26-and-a-half-point favorite. You've got Sam Houston and Texas Tech.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: I don't even think.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: It's Sam Houston.
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: 34.5-point favorite for the Red Raiders. Get your guns up.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: Wake Forest and Louisville. Louisville, 13.5-point favorite.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame, nobody, and I mean nobody, goes to Ross-Ade
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana, plays Purdue, and walks out
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: on the other side.
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: No way.
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: Not according to their athletic director.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: Tommy McClellan says that's the place you go to win titles.
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: So... Not Indiana.
• 34:28
  Speaker 8: So many titles there.
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: Not Indiana.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Not the one that just won it.
• 34:31
  Speaker 6: Purdue, obviously.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: Notre Dame's 27.5 point favorite.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Oh, man.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: You talked about this game because it didn't fall into
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: the category of ranked on ranked, but the team was
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: in the top ten two weeks ago.
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma traveling to Athens to take on the Georgia Bulldogs. Yeah,
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: get right game for Oklahoma. Georgia, you want to guess
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: the line on that one?
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: 15.
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: 20.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: I haven't pulled up. I was looking at the slate.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: 14.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm such a ball knower.
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: Knower of ball.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: I would.
• 35:10
  Speaker 6: Can Oklahoma score that much?
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: Oklahoma might win this one.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: No.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: You did have him in the natty, basically.
• 35:17
  Speaker 5: Basically, Mateer was going to blow it out the votes.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: He was going to get every vote for the Heisman.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: They only have one loss, Matt. So, like, everything is
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: still in front of them.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: Everything is in front of them. They control their own destiny.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: It's time.
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: It's time to activate. It's time to activate those three
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: tight ends. I got sold on the three tight ends.
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: I did too. They beat New Mexico 14-6.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Are you serious?
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: Yeah, 14-6 was their final score last week. That was
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: their get-right game.
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: It was 7-6.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: 7-6?
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: The Lobos are salty this year. I mean, we've said it.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: We have said it. Oh, God. 14-6.
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: Number 15, Utah traveling to Ames, Iowa to take on
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: Iowa State. Eight and a half point favorite. Iowa and
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: Michigan in Ann Arbor. 17 versus 18. Michigan at five
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: and a half point favorite. You might hear about that
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: one tomorrow.
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: I like Iowa this year. Iowa's finally got a quarterback
• 36:24
  Speaker 6: to sling the ball, man. Kalinske's playing well.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: And Michigan stinks.
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, Ferentz always has a great defense.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Yep. You saying they're getting a little too much credit
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: for that Oklahoma win?
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah. And Michigan pulled away. So don't. UTEP and Michigan
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: at halftime were in a dogfight. It ended up 52-17.
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: They crushed them in the second half.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: But going into the locker room, it was 17-14. Michigan.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: What is UTEP? What is their?
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: The minors.
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: Oh, the minors. They're salty, too. They do be mining.
• 37:08
  Speaker 4: Real tough.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss and Florida. Number four versus number 21. Florida
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: a three and a half point favorite still in this game.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: A half point is.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: Do we think that's going to move? Do we think
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: it's going to be like two and a half a kick?
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: Three?
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: Maybe. ESPN matchup predicted against Florida a 53.2% chance to
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: win this one. Now, it's minus three and a half
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: at plus 100.
• 37:36
  Speaker 4: It is so funny.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: It opened up at minus one and a half for Florida.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: Like, weeks ago.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: It's so wild to me that it's... You would think
• 37:45
  Speaker 5: that LSU ended up winning the game this past week
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: with the two lines. With Ole Miss being a three
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: and a half point dog and LSU being an eight
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: and a half point favorite. You would have thought that
• 37:55
  Speaker 5: the result of the game was opposite of what it
• 37:58
  Speaker 5: really was.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: And both lines just seemed really.
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: I think people just respect the hell out of Jaden Ball,
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: as you should. I think Jaden Ball is awesome.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: He's the best runner back in the country.
• 38:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 38:08
  Speaker 6: And he was good a year ago. It's just the
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: team around him wasn't that great.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: He's been good his whole time.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: He was a freshman. He didn't know any better. He
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: was just running over people. So it's hard for him
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: to stay healthy. But he's got 458 yards already on
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: the ground, 54 carries, eight tuds already.
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: This year. If you're Florida in this game, you're at home.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: You have the best running back in the country, you
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: try to churn as much as you can off the clock.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: You try to big boy Ole Miss a little bit, huh?
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah. You try to run them into the dirt.
• 38:44
  Speaker 5: Again, LSU had runs to be had this past week.
• 38:49
  Speaker 5: And we had some success. Outside zone was awesome. I
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: would expect to see a lot of outside zone from Florida.
• 38:57
  Speaker 5: So I expect for Florida to run early and run
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: often and definitely try to run them into the dirt.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: Is this one of those games where you hope the
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: lights go out in the stadium and nobody wins?
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: No, I always hope that Florida loses.
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: Always.
• 39:15
  Speaker 4: Even this one? Yeah. Why not? How do we feel
• 39:18
  Speaker 4: around the room about this one? Why not?
• 39:20
  Speaker 6: Of course.
• 39:20
  Speaker 8: I want Florida to win this one.
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: I want Ole Miss to win every game.
• 39:23
  Speaker 6: No.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: They beat LSU. You want the loss to look better.
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: I get that.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't want Florida to win.
• 39:28
  Speaker 8: I get that, too, but I don't want Ole Miss.
• 39:30
  Speaker 8: to be able to.
• 39:31
  Speaker 7: Like, they're going to be able to talk mess since
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: they beat LSU, but I don't want them to have
• 39:35
  Speaker 7: any better of a season.
• 39:37
  Speaker 8: I really don't.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: I feel you on that.
• 39:38
  Speaker 6: I hope Florida wins this game by 30 points. I mean,
• 39:41
  Speaker 6: I don't care that LSU lost to Ole Miss. If
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: LSU wins the rest of their games, that loss doesn't matter.
• 39:46
  Speaker 6: They're in the playoff anyways. As Matt would say, they
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: control their own destiny. Long season.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: A lot of football left to be played. So wait,
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: you hope Ole Miss loses?
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: I hope Ole Miss gets.
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: Blown out of this. I hope Ole Miss quits at halftime.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: I understand everybody's arguments there. But I understand Matt's, like,
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: you know, you want your loss. But I also understand
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: that you could lose another game and still make the playoffs.
• 40:12
  Speaker 7: The film breakdown made me feel better about the loss.
• 40:14
  Speaker 7: Go watch Eye in the Sky.
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: There you go.
• 40:16
  Speaker 8: Subscribe, like, smash.
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: Smash.
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: Comment.
• 40:20
  Speaker 6: Share.
• 40:21
  Speaker 4: I want the loss to look as good as it can.
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: I know what you're saying.
• 40:25
  Speaker 8: I think the loss is fine.
• 40:27
  Speaker 5: I hate Florida more than anything. Hating Florida is the
• 40:30
  Speaker 5: main thing.
• 40:30
  Speaker 6: I had the TV on last night. I told Victoria,
• 40:32
  Speaker 6: I was like, I've hated Florida my whole life. That
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: was the big rival when I was a fan. I
• 40:36
  Speaker 6: was like, I hope they smash Ole Miss. Bad taste,
• 40:40
  Speaker 6: I guess.
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: I just hope the power goes out.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: I mean, I think Ole Miss is a bunch of nerds,
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: but I don't hate them like y'all do, I guess.
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: I hate Florida.
• 40:54
  Speaker 8: I just don't want them to do good this season.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: They're going and they got a good quarterback. Pretty good one.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: I think Florida wins this. If Florida does win this one, man,
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: you talk about John Sumrall and Statue.
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: Maybe.
• 41:16
  Speaker 6: Statue.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: Now, do they still have Left on their schedule, multiple

  Speaker 8: All right, welcome back in OTB. Matthew, I ran into
• 42:54
  Speaker 8: Hunter Palmer.
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: It's actually just Hunt.
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: Which I kind of appreciate, in the hallway.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: And he said to tell you that we do not
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: play Florida anymore every single year, but we do play
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss every single year.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad because he'd probably pick Florida to win.
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: So your hate for Florida needs to be turned to
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Ole Miss.
• 43:31
  Speaker 4: Why? Because you play Ole Miss every.
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: Year, and you don't need them thinking that they're a
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: better program than they are.
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: I told him I'd relay the message.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: Well, Ole Miss will be irrelevant in a couple years.
• 43:44
  Speaker 5: That's why I don't really care about them. We should
