Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Y'all know what it is? It's Sunday, so this is
- 0:02Speaker 1: typically when our morning after drops. Didn't have to do
- 0:06Speaker 1: it this Sunday because we played on Friday, so y'all
- 0:09Speaker 1: got a Saturday. Appreciate y'all pulling up and talking ball
- 0:12Speaker 1: with me there. I'm not going to nitpick on us.
- 0:14Speaker 1: We're going to do that in the live later today.
- 0:16Speaker 1: I think we're going to go early, probably between three
- 0:18Speaker 1: and four. So we can make sure we can enjoy
- 0:21Speaker 1: college football and all its glory at 630 because I
- 0:24Speaker 1: really want to watch Wisconsin, Notre Dame, as well as Louisville,
- 0:27Speaker 1: Ole Miss, and see if Louisville makes me look good.
- 0:29Speaker 1: So besides that. We gotta talk about some of the
- 0:33Speaker 1: craziness that went down in week one here on Saturday
- 0:37Speaker 1: and some of the key games that matter to Oklahoma,
- 0:39Speaker 1: especially that Michigan game. Let's dive into that. Before we
- 0:43Speaker 1: do that, welcome to Sooner or Later Sports, part of
- 0:45Speaker 1: the Unfair Sports Network. I'm your boy, Jay. Thank y'all

- 0:49Speaker 1: by our partners at PrizePix. New users play five, get

- 0:56Speaker 1: to sit back, relax, grab a beverage, enjoy the moment.
- 1:01Speaker 1: and see what was going on with the competition. Ooh,
- 1:05Speaker 1: that's some good tea. And buddy, did the games not disappoint?
- 1:11Speaker 1: So we're gonna look at a couple of these games
- 1:14Speaker 1: that went down over the weekend that truthfully did matter,
- 1:18Speaker 1: but we've gotta start off with the biggest one, right?
- 1:20Speaker 1: The main one that hit everybody's door. I mean, look
- 1:22Speaker 1: at these games, just beautiful football everywhere, just in heaven.
- 1:27Speaker 1: We definitely talk about this Clemson-LSU game in a minute.
- 1:29Speaker 1: So stick around if you want to hear me talk
- 1:31Speaker 1: about that. But I want to talk about this game
- 1:33Speaker 1: right here. Western Michigan versus Michigan. 13-12. Last second game
- 1:41Speaker 1: winning Hail Mary that somehow happened that shouldn't have happened
- 1:45Speaker 1: but did happen but somehow did happen. I don't know.
- 1:49Speaker 1: That game was basically an embarrassment. Look at these plays.
- 1:54Speaker 1: I watched Underwood, and I am concerned for Michigan going forward.
- 2:00Speaker 1: The man's mechanics wasn't there. It didn't even feel like
- 2:02Speaker 1: he cared. He looked like he was just going through
- 2:07Speaker 1: the motions. He did not look comfortable at all. That
- 2:12Speaker 1: was a bad game for them. And the drive summary
- 2:17Speaker 1: here tells you everything you need to know. Look at that.
- 2:21Speaker 1: They just couldn't move the ball. at all against Western Michigan.
- 2:24Speaker 1: They could not move the ball. Now granted, Western Michigan
- 2:27Speaker 1: is really good at finding diamonds in a rough players.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Like they've had players that have transferred to P fours
- 2:33Speaker 1: and they've done well. It's a weird dynamic there. So
- 2:37Speaker 1: they do a really good job of scouting, but man,
- 2:39Speaker 1: I'm just looking at these numbers like that fumble should
- 2:43Speaker 1: have been it. This should have been it. This fumble
- 2:46Speaker 1: should have been the game. Give up a field goal
- 2:51Speaker 1: and Western Michigan should probably kill more time. But allowing
- 2:54Speaker 1: them to do that. Speaking of time, the game ended
- 3:00Speaker 1: on a Hail Mary from Bryce Underwood. At least that's
- 3:02Speaker 1: what we thought. Then that one second was added. Let
- 3:06Speaker 1: me explain what went down. Before we continue, shout out
- 3:09Speaker 1: to our partners here at PrizeSpace, the presenting sponsor of
- 3:11Speaker 1: the channel. You know, they got a great promotion going
- 3:13Speaker 1: on right now. New users play five, get $ 150 in
- 3:16Speaker 1: bonus lineups. If you win, college football is back. So,
- 3:19Speaker 1: of course, you get to go check out some of
- 3:21Speaker 1: the college football plays that are available. For like, of course,
- 3:24Speaker 1: on Monday, you got Trinidad Chambliss at 272. That seems
- 3:28Speaker 1: like a lot against Louisville. I'm going to take less.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Same thing with Keywon Lacey, just under 100. Give me
- 3:34Speaker 1: some Apple Cup action. Hmm. Caden Pinnock. Give me more
- 3:42Speaker 1: on him. I think he'll surprise us. I don't know
- 3:45Speaker 1: if CJ Carr is going to throw a lot, but
- 3:46Speaker 1: I'll take advantage of it. Pick two or more players.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Pick more or less on the stats. Isaac Brown definitely
- 3:51Speaker 1: on the more. And you are in the game. All
- 3:53Speaker 1: you got to do is pick, play five. If you win,
- 3:59Speaker 1: you'll get $ 150 in bonus lineups in any of these states.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Follow me on Unfair Sports. You can now do your
- 4:04Speaker 1: boy and always gamble responsibly. So that one second happened.
- 4:10Speaker 1: They got an additional second after this Hail Mary was
- 4:12Speaker 1: thrown and it was incomplete. And how that happened was,
- 4:19Speaker 1: and don't attack me, I'm just going to explain what
- 4:22Speaker 1: was said. That when the defender for Michigan actually touched
- 4:29Speaker 1: the ball, because he jumped from out of bounds to
- 4:31Speaker 1: knock down the pass. When he touched the ball, there
- 4:33Speaker 1: was still one second left in the game. Big Ten
- 4:36Speaker 1: put out their statement. The officials put out their statement.
- 4:41Speaker 1: And then the MAC did. This is an official statement
- 4:46Speaker 1: from the Mid-American Conference. And upon conclusion... Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
- 4:57Speaker 1: The Big Ten explained that the ball touched a player
- 4:59Speaker 1: who was out of bounds before the clock reached double zeros,
- 5:02Speaker 1: resulting in one additional play being awarded. The Big Ten
- 5:05Speaker 1: subsequently provided video and audio of the replay, which confirmed
- 5:12Speaker 1: the explanation provided to us. So they commend West Michigan
- 5:15Speaker 1: for not taking any effort. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah,
- 5:17Speaker 1: and all of that. The only issue I have with
- 5:19Speaker 1: this is that they didn't go to bat for their squad. Granted,
- 5:24Speaker 1: I understand if they gave you all the evidence and say, look,
- 5:27Speaker 1: as soon as you stop it here on our clock
- 5:30Speaker 1: that we keep track of, touch his hands, there's one
- 5:34Speaker 1: second left. Technically, that's what it's supposed to be. I
- 5:37Speaker 1: get that. But Michigan, it feels like they had to
- 5:40Speaker 1: find another way to cheat in order to win a game.
- 5:45Speaker 1: I know it's crazy, right? And even more with that,
- 5:48Speaker 1: looking at spreads and stuff, it appears that now, Oklahoma
- 5:53Speaker 1: has jumped up to a five and a half point
- 5:55Speaker 1: favorite in this game after being a one and a
- 5:58Speaker 1: half point dog to start the season. I will not
- 6:03Speaker 1: overreact to Michigan's struggles. I will not overreact to Michigan's struggles.
- 6:06Speaker 1: I will not overreact to Michigan's struggles. Because you don't
- 6:09Speaker 1: want to overreact to Michigan's struggles. But man, that game
- 6:12Speaker 1: is going to be different now. Like completely different. Like everything.
- 6:16Speaker 1: All the sports and analytics stuff have all shifted Oklahoma
- 6:19Speaker 1: to a 65% winner. Everything is going Oklahoma's direction. Don't
- 6:23Speaker 1: like it. Rat poison. But the good thing is BV
- 6:27Speaker 1: was losing his mind on the sidelines to his players.
- 6:30Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all saw that, but he did.
- 6:32Speaker 1: We'll talk about that a little bit later. But Michigan's game, awful.
- 6:37Speaker 1: That was just bad. And then I made the really
- 6:40Speaker 1: bad decision to stay up and watch this Clemson-LSU game
- 6:44Speaker 1: after we had the delays, right? I said, you know what?
- 6:49Speaker 1: I want to see them play. I want to see this.
- 6:52Speaker 1: This is what I want y'all to see in this game.
- 6:55Speaker 1: Look at this. So, of course, LSU destroyed them 51-10.
- 7:01Speaker 1: The fact that Clemson only threw for 105 yards in
- 7:03Speaker 1: this game is bad. They don't have a quarterback, which
- 7:08Speaker 1: means they don't have a team, which means they are
- 7:09Speaker 1: going to be awful this year. LSU, of course, went
- 7:15Speaker 1: for a BTA, but the biggest thing is they had
- 7:18Speaker 1: two dudes run for 113 yards. Clemson, I've seen your
- 7:22Speaker 1: defensive players. I've seen your roster before. I know how
- 7:27Speaker 1: you can recruit. How do you give up 113 yards
- 7:30Speaker 1: to not one but two dudes and in a total
- 7:32Speaker 1: 309 yards of total rushing? LSU feels so stacked that
- 7:40Speaker 1: Caden Durham is the third or fourth running back on
- 7:43Speaker 1: this roster. Harlem Berry is the third or fourth running
- 7:45Speaker 1: back in this offense. Can somebody explain that to me?
- 7:53Speaker 1: That's insane. Right? Crazy that they went out there and
- 8:02Speaker 1: just abused him like that. Clemson had 145 yards of
- 8:09Speaker 1: total offense. 145 yards of total offense. That, my friends,
- 8:22Speaker 1: is awful in every way, shape, or form. Every possession
- 8:28Speaker 1: was over. I thought this game was going to be
- 8:33Speaker 1: good in the beginning because you start the game off
- 8:35Speaker 1: by getting an interception off a tip pass. Go Clemson.
- 8:38Speaker 1: Get a field goal from it. They forced a field
- 8:41Speaker 1: goal from LSU, and then the avalanche started. Pick six.
- 8:46Speaker 1: Pick six. And then punt, touchdown, touchdown. Just abuse began
- 8:54Speaker 1: after that. And I think after halftime, those players said, yeah,
- 8:57Speaker 1: we ain't playing this game no more. Because then they
- 8:59Speaker 1: just started just giving up touchdowns. This was a really, really,
- 9:04Speaker 1: this was the worst case scenario for Dabo, Sweeney, and Clemson.
- 9:10Speaker 1: Are they cooked? Are they done? Are they done? I
- 9:12Speaker 1: don't know. I want to know what y'all think. Hop
- 9:13Speaker 1: in the comments. I want to hear y'all's thoughts on that.
- 9:16Speaker 1: The other game that to me jumped out as one
- 9:18Speaker 1: that shouldn't have been what it was. Everyone's got Oregon
- 9:21Speaker 1: as the national champion. There's so many people got Oregon
- 9:23Speaker 1: as the national champion. They were down at one point 17-7.
- 9:35Speaker 1: That's not good. It doesn't feel like a good thing. 17-7.
- 9:40Speaker 1: To Boise State. Now, granted, a lot of people have
- 9:42Speaker 1: Boise State as their G6 representative in the playoffs. But
- 9:46Speaker 1: that's not good for Lanning & Co. It also reminds
- 9:50Speaker 1: everybody that Lanning & Co. has two new coordinators. Staff changes.
- 9:57Speaker 1: Should tell you a lot more about how they can
- 9:59Speaker 1: end up in there we'll see what they look like
- 10:00Speaker 1: going into the playoffs itself but going into the season
- 10:09Speaker 1: and Big Ten season or what not but yeah I
- 10:14Speaker 1: did not expect this from them at all They did
- 10:20Speaker 1: not look like a well-oiled machine at home against Boise State.
- 10:25Speaker 1: Good thing is LeGarrette Blount wasn't there, so nobody got punched.
- 10:28Speaker 1: Appreciate y'all pulling up. Just want to talk about a
- 10:31Speaker 1: few games, especially that Michigan one, because I thought that
- 10:33Speaker 1: was pretty wild. We'll go live a little bit later.
- 10:36Speaker 1: We'll talk about our gaming, like we always do. And yeah.
- 10:41Speaker 1: Y'all have a great Labor Day weekend. Peace.
