  Speaker 2: With all the.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Resources that these college kids have at their disposal, there's
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: really no excuse for you to be failing classes like

  Speaker 3: that unless you just do not show up the class whatsoever.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: And even then, I mean hey Google, Roy Williams.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, here's somebody like you said, said, boy, I haven't
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: seen this happen in years. With all the high priced tutors,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: classes built for athletes and coaches focused on academic performance.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: How can this happen? We hear about it a lot
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: in the high school level. Craigs.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, no pass, no play. Yeah, it's quite simple. There,

• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Aren't they famously not taking real classes away? Oh gosh,

  Speaker 2: So wow.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: So anyway, and big game for them, because aren't they
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: playing Baylor this weekend? Let me double checking that as
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: TCU was trying. TCUH got that win last week over
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech at home rally back when to win there,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: They're in Waco Saturday night playing Baylor Saturday.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: See.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Now, let me tell you something I remember I was
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: telling you this story yesterday about how a lot of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: fans of both SMU and Pittsburgh were a little bit
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: incensed that their game, which is a huge game in
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the ACC which would really define who which team is
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the biggest threat to either Clemson or Miami to try
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to get into the a SEC Championship game and the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: game's on ACC network, It's not on one of the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: ESPN platforms, and say, oh yeah, because he you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: because the SEC. You know, that's that's just how that is.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: You know, they get all the h they get all
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the great windows on that. So I'm looking to see
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: what the evening window is. See the afternoon window Florida,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Georgia's two thirty. Oh yeah, it's Texas A and m
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: at South Carolina and on on ABC. So there are
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: folks are grumbling about that, but you know that wouldn't
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: be Mike Grumble, wouldn't wouldn't be for that if I
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: was an ACC person, Mike Grumble would be for the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: fact that TCU Baylor is on ESPN two. I would agree, Yeah,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: five and three against four and four TCU trying to
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: get Bowl eligible and trying to get one step close
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to Bowl eligibility. You know, Kansas State and Houston is
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: own Fox. But that's Big twelve again. So anyway, that's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: that's the situation with my cousins broadcast. He's see in Baylor,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: good Man, my cousins good Man. I always enjoyed visiting
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: with him. NFL notes quarterbacks being benched, as we know,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: with Anthony Richardson being sacked for the game on Sunday
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: night against the Vikings. For the Colts, thirty nine year
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: old Joe Flacco will be handed the keys and Bryce
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Young is going to start for the Panthers. He's going
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: to make a second straight start for them. That'll be
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: against the Saints on Sunday because Anthony Dalton injured his thing.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Andy Dalton, Yeah, continues to rehab from a spring thumb
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: on his throwing hand, which he suffered last week in
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: a car accident. Dalton was a full participant in practice today.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, but he's expected to be Young's back
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: back up. That's such a Panthers Dave Canalis was not
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: trying to be cute or try it or or do
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: a pun or a pun or anything like that when
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: he said, and here's the quote. To me, it was
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: taking the decision out of Andy's hands because of the thumbs.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: But he wasn't saying it because of that. He goes,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: if you were to ask Andy, could you go, he'd
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: say yes. And for me, he's like a week removed
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: from a thumb injury and I just want to make
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: sure that we're putting him back out there in the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: right state and the right framework. And I'm excited for
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Bryce to have another opportunity to build on things that
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: we've talked about, to continue to just grow and get
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that experience and we talked about is invaluable. So there's that.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Here's the other news you need to know about that game.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Jonathan Brooks may make his debut, Yes, sir, so, I'm
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: GOODJB the lifetime Longhorn. He's not going to start Cheba Hubbard.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: We'll get the start, but it said he'll get some
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: reps if he's ready. He's been working hard and they
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: think that he wants to see him for a full
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: week before committing to playing him on Sunday, But he
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: said thinking about him and making sure he's confident ready
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: to go. So we're going to stack up a few
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: more days here before we make that decision.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Looking at the point differential, Craig thirty two NFL teams,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: of course, the thirty first worst point differential in the
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: National Football League this season the one in six Tennessee
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: Titans negative seventy six, the Carolina Panthers negative one hundred
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: and forty seven. They've been outscored by one hundred and
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: forty seven points total this season.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: That is so bad. Yeah, yeah, that's awful.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: I mean they're they're close to being over one hundred
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: points worse than the thirty first worst team in the NFL.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: So you're saying the Panthers are the worst team in
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the NFL. Ah, by far.
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: I think so, and I think their fans would tell you.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, are they worse than the Titans? I think so.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: I think if those two teams played right now on
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: a neutral field, the Titans would be favored to win
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: by like four and a half points.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Would the Cowboys beat them? The Panthers, Oh, I don't know.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Say I knew that would throw you off.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, if any Dalton's playing, they there's an upset there.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: With Bryce Young, I don't know. I think he's good
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: for at least one or two interceptions right now. And
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the Panthers, I mean, they just traded their only good
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: receiving weapon, Deontay Johnson to the Ravens, so I think
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: they have Adam Thielen as their number one receiver. I
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: don't know if he's still even on the football team.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I hope Jonathan Brooks will make the team. Yeah, but
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: they're they're there. It should be a fire cell for
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: the Panthers.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: You don't. It's gonna be interesting to see, is if
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: both Let's just say the Cowboys and the Panthers don't
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: win a single game between now and December fifteenth. They
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: play in Charlotte. The Cowboys play at Carolina on December fifteenth.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: So because the Cowboys, you know, we've talked about this,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: how bleak is the outlook for the Cowboys.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: The next five games are brutal. They go to Atlanta.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Then they have the Eagles at home, lost and loss,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: Texans at home on a Monday night.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Big loss.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: At Washington, big loss, Giants at home. Yes, next four okay,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the six games. Really the seven game struts the fact
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: that they were able to beat Pittsburgh. If Pittsburgh starts
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, they may win that game because considering Fields
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: is awful in that game and it came down to
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a couple of fluke plays at the very end. Cowboys,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: there are two of their three wins this season have
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: by have come by combined five points three over the Steelers.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I can't add math eight points five over
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: the Steelers, three over the Steelers, five over the Giants,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: and then they had a week win win over the Browns,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: which doesn't count. Yeah yeah, uh so, all right, so
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: you're saying Falcons, Eagles, Texans, and Commanders are all going
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: to be losses.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: You think so, unless you know the injuries keep piling
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: up in Houston, you know, unless you know Hurts is
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: out for Philadelphia or Jayden Daniels is out, I don't.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I don't see how this current Dallas Cowboys roster wins.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: Your argument is that, Okay, they got Deron Bland back
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: off the ir today. I think you're goodn't. You're gonna
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: have Michael Parsons back, you would think, by at least Philadelphia,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: maybe Houston, DeMarcus Lawrence possibly, So you're getting some guys
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: back there. That's the argument for Dallas winning some of
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: these games. But I mean, these are four playoff teams.
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: Craig and the Eagles have played really good football, Houston's
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: got a fantastic record, Washington of course leading the NFC East,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: and in the Fawkins. You know, these are all four
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: could playoff teams. And then you have the Giants who
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: are on Thanksgiving Thanksgiving, you know, remember Cowboys lost the
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: Raiders on Natesgiving a few years back.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Always a weird day.
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: And the Bengals, who are going to be desperate in
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: that game, Monday night game.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: The only one I see for sure in the remaining
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: schedule where I guarantee a win is at Carolina.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: So you think they'll win that Carolina? I would hope.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: So, I mean, I think there's a couple of college
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: teams that could beat Carolina right now. And I'm not
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: saying that facetiously. I really, I really.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: That would never happen. You know, that would never happen.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: You know, it would never happen. No college team is
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: going to beat an NFL team. No college team Oregon's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: not going to beat an NFL team. George is not
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: going to beat an NFL team. Come on, it's not
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: gonna happens. Not gonna happen.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: George would be in the backfield all day against Bryce
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: Shawn all day.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Correct, it's an NFL.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Offensive line, they would keep them out as bad as
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: they are against other NFL teams.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: No, it would not happen.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna hear more from logwarts head coach
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: Steve Sarkisian coming up on sports Radio AM thirteen Under
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: the Zone,
