- 1:29middle we were here for about 12 hours.
- 1:31Hours, 15 hours on Christmas Eve into Christmas day.
- 1:37So it was a little hectic, but we got it done.
- 1:41How about your family? Good man, just just up here with
- 1:45the inlaws, we're figuring out of time to for my mother to come
- 1:48up and visit with us sometime over the next couple weeks.

- 1:56as rushing. Usually, it's where, you know,
- 1:59we do Christmas, Here and then we go out to my wife's family
- 2:04and then usually a couple days later we're seeing my family and

- 2:58Just don't, it's, you're wasting your time.
- 3:03Yeah, I mean, by the time you clean it up like the next round
- 3:06happens and then, or something else gets open for the first
- 3:10time and it's a brand, new level of miss, you kind of just let it
- 3:15all happen. Do kind of one big scoop make
- 3:18your dump run and then easy peasy.
- 3:22Yeah, it's really funny because, you know, We're sitting here and
- 3:27I got tons of marble stuff for the kids.
- 3:29The kids got tons of marble place from Santa Claus, Mario
- 3:33stuff so many things here and there, and it was just kind of
- 3:38like, it started. It's a Friday, did nothing
- 3:41Saturday. Didn't touch it until the
- 3:42evening, when my youngest my older son, he got out a board
- 3:47game gets sorry, the classic. Sorry and Little Bro, went to
- 3:52bed early. He got to stay up late.
- 3:55He wanted to play. I'm like, cool.
- 3:57Listen, we need the ottoman which is currently buried behind
- 4:01a bunch of your toys. You need to clear path and to
- 4:06stuff in here and get the ottoman in.
- 4:08I left it for minutes later. A good amount of toys were
- 4:12picked up. In the ottoman was rolled it.
- 4:15Nice nice. And then I eventually went and
- 4:20beat him. My wife on Clara which my wife
- 4:22is real. Salty about oh, Oh well salty
- 4:26with board games, she did salty. Yeah but she always claims that
- 4:35I sit here and I look like I have no chance that I am going
- 4:40to win and then I pulled the ultimate comebacks.
- 4:43Sorry literally all four of my tan starts, they have three or
- 4:47four out all Rowland. Your boy came back.
- 4:53Hey, fourth quarter comeback. I like it.
- 4:57I like it. So yeah, man.
- 5:00But uh, it's been great and like, you know, he said it's a
- 5:03Monday. He's off.
- 5:04I'm working some hours this week.
- 5:06We're going to watch a lot of football.
- 5:08Well, starting tonight rolling on literally until what next
- 5:14Monday. Oh, yeah.
- 5:15Sunday, Sunday. So, this is, this is the good
- 5:20times fellas, although it's not quite as good.
- 5:21Normally is but you know hey enjoy yeah.
- 5:27What we could be playing somewhere, we chose not to,
- 5:30there's your big thing, you can say we chose not to and for
- 5:34everybody that listens last week we really appreciate it.
- 5:38Appreciated Germany for coming on our highest viewed episode
- 5:44ever. So well done guys.
- 5:47You did we might uh yep. Thank y'all very Very much for
- 5:52that. And, you know, Yeah, it was good
- 5:58week. It was good.
- 5:58We good good, enjoy Christmas. Good to have, have some things
- 6:01looking nice. You know, I wish things were
- 6:06going is good at Hokie Nation, but we did get some good news a
- 6:08little bit earlier today, buddy. Damn right man, Big Stone Gap,
- 6:12releases a little video. First when you saw it come up.
- 6:16Like I did, it was like oh why is this a video?
- 6:21Oh no, this is not gonna be good and then at the, you know, you
- 6:26Watch it. You get to the last and it's
- 6:29like I'm back and it's like, thank you.
- 6:32And yes and as me and Brian have already, sort of put out there
- 6:39are logical side of our brains. Don't feel good about next year.
- 6:44We just don't Having James back help somewhat it not.
- 6:52It makes a super happy. He's an awesome player, he comes
- 6:56back and balls. Again, he's going to push
- 6:58himself into the upper regions of the NFL draft.
- 7:05He goes from probably being the like in the top five of the
- 7:08class this year to probably be in the top two or three next
- 7:11year, maybe even head of that class.
- 7:14So I mean it's probably a good thing for him.
- 7:16It's Only good thing for us, obviously, getting him back.
- 7:19So, win-win, here on this part, I mean, you could make the
- 7:23argument you strike while the Iron's hot, but at the same
- 7:26time, I think he does have room where he can improve his stock.
- 7:29If he has another good season or at least a season, like he had
- 7:32this year, I think that stock will go up just because they
- 7:34won't be quite as deep at tight end next season with the guys
- 7:37coming out. So should be good either way,
- 7:40they're obviously, we love having him back.
- 7:43I mean versatile player do a little bit.
- 7:45Everything is blocking his Not a whole lot better in the last
- 7:49year we saw that on field tape this year.
- 7:53So that's big and that's going to be helpful in the with an
- 7:57offensive line that we'll talk about later.
- 7:59That may may have some some holes to fill.
- 8:02So, good to have Big Stone Gap back in the in the fold here.
- 8:06Absolutely. And you know, like you said,
- 8:09it's a versatility and I think next year, even more of the
- 8:12versatility probably showing his hands more, his blocking has
- 8:15improved. And just as body tight, just to
- 8:20get slightly, it's like to get slightly more fit to sort of
- 8:23slightly this much in these particular areas.
- 8:26And to go from a guy who's probably going to get, drafted
- 8:295th to 7th round to potentially first, two days.
- 8:34If he goes out, and you look at his body type potentially, what
- 8:37he could do at the combine really shooting himself up into
- 8:42that upper echelon. But Brian, you know, Everything
- 8:47had been sunshine and roses and the guy that I would say kind of
- 8:50kicked it off and no disrespect to him, but kind of kicked it
- 8:55off after the pit game. Quincy Patterson goes to North
- 8:58Dakota State. I'm happy in the reason I'm
- 9:02happy he landed, they're not you know Illinois or you know, on
- 9:08the breath. He's going somewhere where
- 9:12there's an unbelievable culture. They win football games.
- 9:15He's going to be able to Case himself.
- 9:19They won. Yeah, that's the big thing is
- 9:22that they have a history of kind of taking the bigger body
- 9:27quarterbacks and getting a lot out of them, teaching them to
- 9:32learn offenses very well, they have a winning culture, they're
- 9:36known to put points on the board.
- 9:38I think it's a very good fit for him.
- 9:39I think it's a very good fit for their school and if he, if he's
- 9:45leaving us, I'm happy that he's going somewhere where I think
- 9:47he's going to make some noise. And it even though you know
- 9:50you're taking a step down here, that's a school that is on
- 9:54everybody's radar in the NFL so there's still potential there
- 9:58for him to make a splash later on on that front.
- 10:02It absolutely. That's the big key.
- 10:04Its eyes are on him. They get national attention.
- 10:08They're not getting out there on deepest, you know, ESPN3
- 10:13Channel, you can come forward. So, you know, they play for big
- 10:17games, then Illinois does. It's true.
- 10:20It's very true. And obviously, you will probably
- 10:23have had to look at their schedule for next year, but, um,
- 10:27probably going to have the potential to, you know, play
- 10:32some sort of big school right out of the gate.
- 10:35And let me see if I can find it here.
- 10:38It's one of those things. Yep, I'm going to effort it,
- 10:39guys. If you're tuning 4914.
- 10:45Well, they're playing a spring season so can we get 20 21 Fall?
- 10:50Yeah, because I don't think he's going to be playing.
- 10:52I don't think he's eligible to play in the spring season.
- 10:55If I read everything correctly about that because of how many
- 10:58snaps he played in, 2024 us look in here.
- 11:06Probably wasn't, it wasn't enough stamps for my
- 11:09satisfaction either. So he's kind of big laughs
- 11:12greatest thing there. But Actually no big game for
- 11:15them next year. So, yeah, another guy that
- 11:19moved. It was moving on Darryl, Simmons
- 11:21committed to Stephen F, Austin. Just a couple days ago.
- 11:25Good for him as well. Big body guy. 62 wish he would
- 11:30have hung around feel like they could have used him, but I think
- 11:32he's to a point now. Where if guys aren't seeing
- 11:35themselves, they're they're going to move on because you got
- 11:39to have tape. You can you've got to have tape
- 11:43and, you know, they're going. To a pretty decent school.
- 11:46I mean they've Stephen of also went six and for this year and
- 11:50you know can I ask you something though buddy.
- 11:52Yeah we have had a lot of wide receiver recruits that it was
- 11:58transferred out of the program. It's true.
- 12:03Is some of the problem. The fact that we're not when
- 12:07these guys are getting on the field, we're not doing a good
- 12:09job of getting them. Any sort of targets or anything
- 12:12like that. I feel like like, when we got,
- 12:18The Usual Suspects on the field. They get, I mean, they're still
- 12:21under targeted, but they're the only ones getting the actual
- 12:24Targets in the passing game. It seemed like as soon as some
- 12:27of the other guys came on the field, whether was fairs, or
- 12:30changa, or any of those other guys.
- 12:32Like we just either went straight run or retargeting
- 12:36tight ends or running backs when they were in there.
- 12:39I mean, it just it seemed like we were getting opportunities
- 12:42for guys that weren't named Turner or Tavian Robinson, I
- 12:47mean, That's what it was trying to take a or Big Stone.
- 12:51Yeah. And all right, Brian.
- 12:55We almost start cursing again because yeah, we do.
- 12:59Well, good, lord, it's it again. It reflects upon What we're
- 13:04doing on the offense and that's where it's irritating and the
- 13:09irritating piece to is in. People highlighted this on
- 13:12Twitter all we want to rotate like six or seven wide receivers
- 13:16will you don't and when you do you don't do anything to get the
- 13:20other guys, not named Trey or teh involved in the offense.
- 13:57Some of these guys we've got to go and yeah I don't fault them
- 14:02for it but it is what it is and you know again why is our logic.
- 14:09We don't feel good about next year.
- 14:12There's another reason and we are full Ford with no change.
- 14:19All right? I don't know how to take deal
- 14:22about this next news, okay, because I love the guy's a
- 14:25player, but you're on Hewitt, essentially not returning going
- 14:31to give the NFL a shot, a you lose the huge leader on the
- 14:36defensive line. A workout Warrior who obviously
- 14:41gives 100% all the time. Although he's undersized that
- 14:47you know, 6-foot 1285 for what we want to do now is a vocal
- 14:52leader and a leader by example. So I mean that those are good
- 14:55guys to have on your roster. Even if they're not your your
- 14:57front line players. And the fact that he was also
- 15:00that to some degree that that's going to hurt a little bit.
- 15:05Now I do think based on On the way, the system.
- 15:09Where, I mean, obviously, we're full go with what we were doing
- 15:11this year again, next year. So, The further we get into that
- 15:16in the further, other players, get into that his body type is
- 15:18going to work himself out of snaps, it's very true and I get
- 15:24maybe if he's saying this is the best my tape is going to look if
- 15:27I'm going to take a shot at the NFL and ends going to run with
- 15:30that. Exactly.
- 15:32And then you kind of think next year, one guy that you kind of
- 15:36I'm not saying you were impressed by but you were
- 15:39intrigued and times how we play was Josh food?
- 15:41Oh yeah. All the food is only six foot.
- 15:44The food was 305, he's huge. You've got Crawford, his
- 15:48300-pounder you get Cunningham coming back next year, 300
- 15:51pounder, you got Pollard, Pollard under sized, but you've
- 15:55got Kendricks who getting up there and Kendrick is that guy
- 15:58with that about 62 will have height and width, the other guys
- 16:02that we've recruited 63rd to developer to 80s to.
- 16:06So he's still, he's a load even though if he's not quite that
- 16:09300-pound range that you're looking for, and I just feel
- 16:14like those guys are going to start creeping into Hewitt's
- 16:18snaps this year and so that that might be what the move is about,
- 16:22but again you can't undersell the the impact of his leadership
- 16:27on that line. So that's going to be the thing.
- 16:29I think we missed the most and, you know, a couple boneheaded
- 16:32plays this year, but a whole plays with his heart on his
- 16:38sleeve workout Warrior, he's always giving 110%.
- 16:43So, Guys like that. Definitely helped the morale in
- 16:46the rest of the line. So it's definitely going to be a
- 16:49blow there, but in terms of just on the field product, I feel
- 16:54like it's going to be close to a wash but definitely going to
- 16:58miss that leadership. Absolutely.
- 17:00All right, well let's get into poly the along with the two
- 17:05quarterbacks with Hendon. Who's still out on the portal
- 17:08and Quincy. The two biggest named Players
- 17:15high profile, High recruits for stars, top 100, top to 47s
- 17:21players. Ryan Hudson, and duck master,
- 17:24and by nose, or in the portal. And me and Brian were talking a
- 17:30couple days before it happened were texting back and forth, and
- 17:34it's like, do you text me, Brian?
- 17:36It's like I keep hearing this, and I don't want this, but Doug
- 17:45Master. Start with him.
- 17:47Yep, just couple days ago. Commits to West Virginia.
- 17:54Fucking a, what the hell man? Well first of all, I'm almost
- 18:01say some. It got us pissed because we're
- 18:04where the age where West Virginia to me, was the big
- 18:08arrival than UVA? It was it was more heated.
- 18:12It was nasty at that point in time in the 90s and late 90s
- 18:19early 2000s and they were good we were fucking good.
- 18:22We were burning shit and starting rides and In Blacksburg
- 18:25over this rivalry man, it was fight because there I think
- 18:31nowadays it's not what it was but I think you might see some
- 18:37heat because the Hokies early September.
- 18:41Go to Morgantown next year. Yep, there's a little skin in
- 18:45the game now to with this transfer and you know, there was
- 18:51hints here and there that you know Nestor was Returning closer
- 18:55to home for family things, but then when you look at it
- 18:59Blacksburg is closer. So you know, if you just said he
- 19:06was heading to Marshall out of been like okay okay the same
- 19:13Marshall. No.
- 19:16So with that being said I'm not really happy with this.
- 19:21I mean I wish Nestor good luck in his career.
- 19:25I loved what he did here and I hope he does well in his career.
- 19:29But Yeah, there's definitely one game.
- 19:34I'm not cheering for him. Oh no, not at all.
- 19:38And you know again best of luck, you know?
- 19:43But for us older in the fan base and obviously, Our Guest last
- 19:50week is one of them with the, you know, starting school in 04
- 19:53when it will still nasty. We just, this is the one that we
- 20:00just kind of grinding their teeth that and just say, okay,
- 20:03here's what I hope happens. I hope you miss your block and
- 20:05we crush your quarterback to first time and he's out the
- 20:08whole game. And one of those dogs up front
- 20:12starts yapping in his mouth. Yeah, that happens.
- 20:15All right, the second transfer Braun, was Hudson, Hudson, did
- 20:21go closer to home. He went to Louisville.
- 20:24It's in You know, it's in ACC, I don't know the next time we'll
- 20:29play them. It took seven years to plan the
- 20:31first time because he's a lot, a lot of it'll be long and gone.
- 20:34By the time I played Notre Dame twice before he played
- 20:37Louisville and it's hilarious. Um, it kind of skin that he did
- 20:43go to an ACC competitor obviously, there were things
- 20:48going on that we're not going to touch here that fits a lot of
- 20:51hearsay. It looks like a lot of back and
- 20:53forth with things going on. But we want some Much here Sammy
- 20:57was all the time line. It just we don't know how much
- 21:00of that played into the decision to leave.
- 21:04Well, I mean, it was, it was clear that, you know, hoffen in
- 21:08Huds parents were beefing on the timeline for updated, probably
- 21:12off the timeline to if I who knows.
- 21:15But here's the thing and we're going to hit the good news and
- 21:19then get into a couple of things but Brian What's going on there?
- 21:24Nestor started this year Rygaard heavy rotational player, when
- 21:30when he wasn't starting that they were moving him around a
- 21:32little bit. When we had some guys out for
- 21:34covid, had some guys out for injuries, but I mean, he was on
- 21:36the field most of the time and Hudson was essentially, we were
- 21:41thinking he could start at left guard.
- 21:43He could start at Center if not, he's going to be the swing on
- 21:47the inside because he can play every position and the big Game.
- 21:51Was that game where brought got pulled?
- 21:54It wasn't heard that went in. It was horrid.
- 21:56And we were just kind of like well a brought my brows that
- 22:00definitely raised some eyebrows terrified.
- 22:05How many Snaps are going to go over top of the quarterback
- 22:10quarterbacks head or he's going to be a little slow out of his
- 22:12stance there. And we're going to end up with a
- 22:14sack before. Even really has a chance to go
- 22:16through progressions. I mean, we saw HUD place so much
- 22:20as freshman. Especially at center with some
- 22:23of the other guys going down in Hawaii.
- 22:25Just being Hoyt, it was it's really shocking to me.
- 22:30That he wasn't the first guy off the bench at the center position
- 22:34and that he saw so little work at guard, we thought with, you
- 22:41know, with hopping in there that, you know, HUD and Nestor
- 22:44would kind of be 1A 1B It Right Guard.
- 22:48Cannon was was kind of Of just the true number two there.
- 22:54So I mean he does essentially number three it.
- 22:56Both the positions we thought he'd be at least number two at
- 23:02and it kind of begs. The question of what's going on
- 23:06inside that room. Because, you know, something
- 23:11something we talked about before, we got on guys is a week
- 23:16at, is this a coaching staff right now that literally clears
- 23:21the Board over here and says, earn your spot versus, what
- 23:25should probably be done of. How do you say it?
- 23:29Brian? I mean, essentially write it in
- 23:32pencil, write it in dry erase. I mean, you got guys that this
- 23:37was your position at the end of the year.
- 23:39It's there, but I can easily erase it if you don't, you know,
- 23:42carry your damn water. Versus saying, oh no, you got to
- 23:47earn it again, where it's kind of like that sort of irritating.
- 23:52I mean, they built it with quarterbacks every year, man.
- 23:54I mean, I respect the idea behind it, but what I don't
- 23:58understand is that, like, I feel like they're taking it to the
- 24:02point where they're turning guys off.
- 24:05That feel like they've earned their spot.
- 24:07Seemingly, we are. We are projecting that.
- 24:10This is what's this is, this is speculation.
- 24:13But that's the way again. That's the way the fan base is
- 24:17reading it. Yes, I feel like we're coming
- 24:21from a typical fan perspective. We're reading it from this way
- 24:25and it seems to be turning the players off.
- 24:28In some way, the guys that for whatever reason they feel like
- 24:32there. Competing against a ghost almost
- 24:36every week. I mean that can get frustrating
- 24:39man, and you know that I'm not trying to take anything away
- 24:43from from Austin Cannon. I mean, he's been a very solid
- 24:46rotational player for us for the past three seasons.
- 24:52But I thought that Hudson would have had a better shot at being
- 24:56the number two at that guard spot if we kept Nestor ago.
- 25:00I mean I personally advocated for going ahead, moving, Nestor
- 25:03to tackle when when dare saw was leaving and having Hudson, being
- 25:08the starting Right Guard and I mean that I was way off there
- 25:11and I don't know if that's necessarily something that you
- 25:14know I missed the evaluation or if you know things are just
- 25:18weird and vice land sometimes. Who knows, man?
- 25:24No one does and you know why Braun because no one talks but
- 25:29let's move on. We've got a couple more things
- 25:31to hit. Like we did get the Johnny
- 25:34Jordan transfer out of Maryland. The interior offensive linemen
- 25:38which it hurts losing, Nestor. It hurts losing HUD but you know
- 25:44guys started quite a number of games in his career.
- 25:48Definitely doesn't have the ceiling of those players but at
- 25:52least we got something. Yeah.
- 25:54Yeah. So I was, and I was describing
- 25:56it with Curtis when we, when I first saw it coming through.
- 25:59I feel like he's a step down from where Nestor was this
- 26:02season, but probably baby a half step up or a step up from what
- 26:06Hudson would have potentially put out in a 20/20 season.
- 26:10Had he still been here? So, Not, you know, a huge get
- 26:17here, but at least something that I think was kind of stopped
- 26:19the the dam from breaking. If you will look at some of his
- 26:25tape saw he played in high school.
- 26:27He was a guard in high school so he's been primarily a center for
- 26:30Maryland, but he's played guard in his career.
- 26:33So that's possibly. He would slide in a guard or it
- 26:36could be a situation you know, where we'd slide hop over to to,
- 26:41Right Guard and let him play. A center depending on their
- 26:43comfort level there. But decent, pick up for us.
- 26:47We need to hit the portal a lot more.
- 26:49But that's a, that's a good start.
- 26:52But I mean begs the question man.
- 26:53Let's talk about some offensive line depth in 2020 and offensive
- 26:59line depth in 2021. All right, Brian you ready?
- 27:03Yep, offensive line depth 2021. Starting five pretty nasty,
- 27:08Christian Daris, all the All-American.
- 27:11Lettuce Smith who is getting higher and higher talk.
- 27:15I don't think he's got enough to make it this year.
- 27:17He puts another good Campaign together.
- 27:19Lettuce is going to be a guard in the first five rounds of the
- 27:23draft Hoffman, the tone Setter. Nestor the second year
- 27:31sophomore, who probably played more, like you as a junior.
- 27:34And then to new DES, On the right side who had his ups and
- 27:39downs. Damn good, it really good.
- 27:42At sealing The Edge there, sometimes hit or miss and pass
- 27:46Pro exactly what the backups of Cannon, HUD Silas, who was, you
- 27:53know, had gotten some good time that previous year and Boyd,
- 27:57even with snapping issue to Castile, okay, its Center.
- 28:01I mean, we were non deep, we were none deep online where you
- 28:06Like any combination like, okay, we can, we can make things
- 28:11happen. Yeah.
- 28:13Yeah. You were nine deep.
- 28:14You feel like, even if two, guys go down, you're still able to
- 28:18put out a competent line, the line that you feel like you can
- 28:22do something. You know, a couple guys go down
- 28:26past Pro gets a little spotty but across the board still still
- 28:31a pretty good line there. 20:21, what we're looking at this year
- 28:37We've got I'm going to, I'm going to go ahead and say to
- 28:41nude is going to slide over to left.
- 28:43Again could be wrong. Yeah, but he did do and aerosols
- 28:47did when Daris always out so that I would assume.
- 28:50That's what we're going to go with Leslie.
- 28:53Smith coming back left guard. I'm going to stick with Brock
- 28:57Hoffman at Center will put Johnny Jordan as the penciled in
- 29:02Right Guard for now and Silas and she on the right tackle and
- 29:09I feel good about that. I feel like that's an offensive
- 29:11line, not a dominant, but good enough to be productive.
- 29:18I think that's still a line that's better than we had in
- 29:212018 and 2019, but not a, not a line that you want to, you know,
- 29:27get National publication. Like we were getting most of
- 29:29this season but next is where it gets sort of with Jesse Hanson.
- 29:39Parker Clements Caden, more and potentially Austin can coming
- 29:43back. I mean, the guy that we think is
- 29:48the, if guys you only got, you know, playing experience, the in
- 29:52started some games and he's had really heavy rotational work.
- 29:56So, you know, you'd feel good with Canon as kind of your swing
- 30:00man at the both guard positions there, but beyond that, it's
- 30:04bunch of question marks. We know, Caden is a road
- 30:08Greater. But we don't know how he'll hold
- 30:09up and pass Pro. Parker's got a good body for
- 30:13past Pro, but I don't know if he's kind of guidance kind of
- 30:15filled in and knows the offense well enough to where he's going
- 30:19to be able to do a lot. And I mean, Jesse Hansen is a
- 30:23talented player, but I think there's just still some question
- 30:27marks there. Hopefully, he's going to be a
- 30:28guy that's going to be more like cannon that can kind of do a
- 30:32little bit of everything on the interior, the line there to be
- 30:36kind of that that safety valve. Valve in the interior.
- 30:39Well hence it has a to me, handsome is a guy that has the
- 30:42potential to step because of, you know, you look at his body
- 30:46type and when I say that, you know, Hansen is the 65, he's 310
- 30:52pounds. He's at GOA that prototypical
- 30:57tackle body type where, if something can just is Click.
- 31:03He would be an unbelievable swing tackle, I think parking
- 31:06for minutes. Definitely got a little bit
- 31:08more. Seasoning little more weight
- 31:13before he's there. But who knows our regular
- 31:15offseason. You don't know what can click.
- 31:18But essentially, I think we're going from an A, to, I'll give
- 31:24this c-plus for the whip looking.
- 31:27We, if we're going to talk portal, we definitely need to
- 31:31hit at least one, tackle, bam, right portal.
- 31:35And some ways I think interior we can mix and match especially
- 31:38of cannons back. But handsome being more of a
- 31:43guard fit than a tackle fit. Even though I think he might
- 31:45could play it, you definitely need to go and get a tackle.
- 31:49That's not a essentially redshirt freshman as your as
- 31:53your swing guy, it's true man. But the whole thing is is we're
- 31:57sitting here talking portal in general.
- 32:00We've gotten one interior offensive lineman we did another
- 32:03offensive lineman Wide receivers the if he won because if we
- 32:09actually pass the ball like we did against UVA, you shall
- 32:12change the Hajj become that stick mover.
- 32:15Yep. We don't know what Evan fairs
- 32:18can. Do you feel great about traite
- 32:20in Big Stone Gap runs, go ahead, move, Blackshear to wide
- 32:25receiver because we've brought in 11 in the last two seasons.
- 32:29No, Brian. We're going to continue to put
- 32:31him in the backfield. He is not a spell back.
- 32:35We have 10 running back, he should be in that group behind
- 32:49one of those guys that can work outside and let taste light in
- 32:52the slide. If we go we go for wide.
- 32:54If we need to sometimes man. I'm just I'm sick and tired of
- 32:59not getting guys with Talent involved in the offense because
- 33:02you're fucking hard-headed and you made a decision and you have
- 33:05to stick by that fucking decision to make you look like a
- 33:08big fucking genius. Whoo for my just somebody poked
- 33:14the Bear right there. Sorry.
- 33:16Sorry exactly. But the whole piece is a kind of
- 33:21broke with Brawn, other than running back portal everywhere.
- 33:25I mean, we need some defensive Shackled up, we need some
- 33:31defensive end up. We need some on backward up.
- 33:34If, with gone with Rook officially gone, you got decks
- 33:38and tis and kishan, but you need at least one more.
- 33:42You did, you know, Korra feels okay, safety.
- 33:48And I think we need safety help. With why don't you feel like we
- 33:56were kind of plugging in playing it?
- 33:58At one of the safety positions and we just lost our best.
- 34:03Safety is heading to the NFL draft so we weren't solid at the
- 34:09boundary safety all season and our fries are free.
- 34:13Safety is now heading to the NFL so I would like to at least get
- 34:17one safety. That's got significant.
- 34:19Playing time at playing safety. Playing the position of safety.
- 34:25Love you Taylor. It was an awkward.
- 34:29There you did okay in spots and you had some some ugly times in
- 34:32spots but I get it. You were do what you're playing
- 34:34out of position. Most of the season so you get a
- 34:38little bit of a pass for me because of all the roster
- 34:42choices we made and some other unfortunate things happening
- 34:46just before the season started. It's very true and I've been you
- 34:51got to kind of go out there by the way folks, go Google and
- 34:55search 24/7 portal and go look through that cluster heat.
- 35:00Jesus, Lord, have mercy. And it's going to grow into
- 35:06going to grow easily the next month.
- 35:09So we'll probably have. I feel like every episode that
- 35:12we're on, we're telling me you talking about either somebody in
- 35:14the portal from Tech. We picked up somebody somebody
- 35:18who was in it, but now is back home.
- 35:20Everyone see Wild Wild West here pretty soon guys.
- 35:23I mean, as crazy as the kind of the first round is has been
- 35:28here. I feel like we're going to see
- 35:30probably another second round either if it's not Sometime in
- 35:35early January, it's going to be some time as we get to Spring
- 35:39ball and people start seeing that they're further down the
- 35:41depth chart than they thought. They'd be exactly.
- 35:45And that's going to be super interesting bourbon something
- 35:51fun to watch. And, yeah, so, you know, All
- 35:59right, Brian after let's let's just hit the pics.
- 36:02Yep, we clearly had our blow off.
- 36:08Last week. Yeah, that was that was us,
- 36:11bringing you on a guy that wanted to get stuff off his
- 36:13chest and we were throwing in with him.
- 36:17I still and it's the third time say I don't feel good about next
- 36:21year I won't be completely wrong everything.
- 36:25It's no disrespect to the players.
- 36:27I want the players to to win. I want the players to get
- 36:32theirs, but we had the presser we discussed that and I felt
- 36:38okay? But it's like what's going to
- 36:40happen next? And that's going to be my issue.
- 36:44Because you can say it, you have an opening presser or indices,
- 36:48and pressure, and make things sound like, oh, we're going to
- 36:50do some changing but it's like, what are you going to change,
- 36:54though? You get the big thing we need to
- 36:57see is what are what are these changes are?
- 36:59There are they wholesale changes with the way we're getting guys
- 37:04involved in the offense is at wholesale change.
- 37:06I mean, I feel like on the defensive side, a lot of its
- 37:08just going to be reps and actually Time to evaluate guys
- 37:13at the positions that you need to twist.
- 37:15Not even that. What about the opening of the
- 37:18program? Yeah, I'd like to see that too
- 37:21because if you're, if we're going to sit here and my thought
- 37:25is probably potentially in March, they're going to probably
- 37:27start maybe letting the press back in to some of those with a
- 37:32price can be on site, Maybe. But then, what are they giving?
- 37:38If they have scrimmages, are they allowing anyone in?
- 37:41And I mean, they could still say, well, covid, and they,
- 37:44essentially, they have a, they have their Ace in the Hole this
- 37:46year will code. It can't can't let people in.
- 37:48Scrimmages can't do this. Can't do that.
- 37:50Which is bullshit because it's going to be, it's going to be
- 37:56the mo of the coaching staff. He says, I want answered and,
- 38:03you know, I don't know how you say it, but I want.
- 38:06You want somebody to ask? All right.
- 38:09What's the depth chart look like And in somebody has grown and
- 38:14say why. So you're telling me that Brock
- 38:18often has Learning Center Spot Things like that because if, you
- 38:24know, six months from now we could be sitting here and we can
- 38:28go through spring and all this and we could be sitting here in
- 38:31a Late July heading towards Fourth of July, I normal Fourth
- 38:34of July, hopefully it me and you sitting here like what's the
- 38:38difference run and you're going to be like there is none.
- 38:42Yeah, the followed nothing through.
- 38:47It's like, are we are we just going to be sitting around with
- 38:49the same leg? Okay, well, we got this.
- 38:51This roster, it's kind of the same without a couple of the
- 38:55better pieces that we had last year and they didn't change
- 38:58anything, and how they're executing on the field.
- 39:00They didn't change anything of how they're making adjustments
- 39:03in the game. They didn't make any other sort
- 39:05of changes. They're not even giving us the
- 39:08access that we want to, even enjoy the things that, you know,
- 39:11this team is offering, you know, like, if we don't see something
- 39:16something that we can grab whole to and try to try to pull, I'm
- 39:20positive that I mean people are going to just stop fucking
- 39:23coming. Stop paying attention and it's
- 39:25going to be sad and I'm I'm hoping it doesn't get to that.
- 39:29I'm hoping that something is done.
- 39:31Whether it's on the field or off the feel to get the fans engaged
- 39:35in this program again because that's going to be important
- 39:38enough with with covid man. Enough people have said, I don't
- 39:42need this, unless you're giving me a product that I care about
- 39:46exactly the biggest gear. Is going to go from anger to
- 39:52apathy. Yeah.
- 39:54And I'd say this, I think I think people the first month of
- 40:00the Season people might be energized but you go out there
- 40:04and you look shitty against Middle Tennessee.
- 40:07You look shitty against Richmond, you lose to West
- 40:10Virginia and you lose that opening, ACC game it's going to
- 40:13go to apathy and once the hits Whip, if apathy hits, you better
- 40:20fucking fire him. Because there's going to be
- 40:25somebody with a hell of a lot more money and a hell of a lot
- 40:27more pull than me and be like, fuck, you get out and I mean, I
- 40:31know we said we wouldn't do this but fire him midseason.
- 40:34So we can get a jump on the candidates because I feel like
- 40:40we're going to need to secure someone before things, get into
- 40:45bowl season, and we start seeing other firings at these bigger
- 40:49programs. And now we're getting, you know,
- 40:52the trickle down coach. And not the front line guy.
- 40:55Exactly. All right.
- 40:57Well let's let's jump and have a little fun Brian.
- 41:00Let's we have lined up. Nine bowls, that are starting
- 41:04tomorrow afternoon through the second.
- 41:07So we're going to do these in an order.
- 41:10We're definitely going to pick the playoff games at the end.
- 41:13We're not going to put them where they should be because
- 41:16that's the way I want to fucking do it.
- 41:18And why would we skip go to those Bowls in the middle?
- 41:22And then talk about Do meaningless balls later.
- 41:25Yeah, we're putting the, we're prisoners shit that matters at
- 41:27the end guys. Yeah, exactly.
- 41:29All right, let's start it tomorrow.
- 41:31Afternoon think it's a 230 kick the cheese.
- 41:34It bulb, which I'm very hungry. Now, I'd like a big box of
- 41:39cheese at right now. Miami versus Oklahoma State.
- 41:44This is pretty much a pickup game.
- 41:45Oklahoma State at last. Look Lane one-and-a-half.
- 41:48Ryan earlier this week, we got the wonderful news that dear
- 41:52king would be returning to To Miami?
- 41:54Yes. Great news what I mean it could
- 41:59be worse I guess. Film the Miami front anyway, I
- 42:05still like Miami in this game. I think dear King takes care of
- 42:07business. I feel like him coming back is
- 42:09kind of a good boost for them and despite some of the other
- 42:14things that you know with opt-outs and all that other
- 42:17stuff that you can't control, I still like Miami here.
- 42:22I feel like Oklahoma State is Ben.
- 42:25Kind of inconsistent this season on the whole, even though they
- 42:30fielded a pretty good squad. So I'll take Miami here.
- 42:35This is again, it's basically a Pick'em game and obviously, you
- 42:40know, It kind of feels dirty to take Miami but you feel like
- 42:47with Oklahoma State I did Hubbard opt out to 200 opt-out
- 42:52that's kind of this is the way I'm leaning right now to Hubbard
- 42:55opted out that I am probably going to go with Miami as well.
- 43:01Sorry, Ron, I'm everything to his Twitter account to see if he
- 43:03opted out. Give me Miami.
- 43:06I'll take the points because that makes me feel like yep,
- 43:10definitely. I'll let You jot that down on
- 43:12there? Yep I mean another thing with
- 43:16Miami I feel like they had their shit, the bed game already I got
- 43:21that out there, so hopefully they'll show up this time.
- 43:25Yeah, Miami. Who if they beat you in C is
- 43:28probably playing in the Orange Bowl, like not having to leave
- 43:33home or anything. Exactly.
- 43:37So they got their shit, the bed game out of the way before the
- 43:40bowl season. Alright next let's look at the
- 43:44Alamo Bowl Colorado and Texas. No Texas was not back this year.
- 43:49Tom Herman. I'm trying to figure out how he
- 43:52saved the job. I'm guessing there was enough
- 43:58variables with covid that they are just riding one more year.
- 44:03We're also Texas and they can do whatever they want.
- 44:07Yeah. I mean, they've got the money to
- 44:09both cover, his, whatever, his buyout is, and buy out whatever
- 44:14coach, they decide to hire. So money's, not the question for
- 44:19them, other than whatever the Optics are of doing that with.
- 44:23With people losing their jobs and shit like that.
- 44:26So, they are laying eight against Colorado.
- 44:30Colorado, first season under Carl, Darrell foreign one only
- 44:35game. They lost was at the end of the
- 44:38season, they obviously had quite a few games, cancelled beat
- 44:43Arizona. Got a coach fired, San Diego,
- 44:46State's always a solid team and Stanford and UCLA, you know, or
- 44:52what they are. That's going to be in Texas.
- 44:56It just feels too big. The way Texas played this year,
- 45:02but on the other hand, Tommy Herman, one game seems like he
- 45:06always can get his nut up and figure things out.
- 45:08I will lay the points. Give me Texas.
- 45:11All right, I'm going to actually go the other direction here.
- 45:16I think Colorado. Showed me enough.
- 45:19Texas is really bad on defense. I think I'll rattle be able to
- 45:24score and I think that that's going to be enough to where
- 45:28Texas has to squeak out a win instead of having a comfortable
- 45:30win at the end there. So I'll take Colorado.
- 45:33Got it. All right, well Braun.
- 45:38There comes a time when belt becomes the Duke's Mayonnaise
- 45:42Bowl. I feel like this bowl is like
- 45:45got Halifax written all over it, man.
- 45:47Like everyone from Halifax eats, Duke's Mayonnaise on their
- 45:51sandwich. Everybody from Halifax shops
- 45:53have belt. It's the ultimate connection to
- 45:57our hometown. And this year, it's Wake Forest
- 46:00Wisconsin, Wisconsin, Land. Seven and a half points.
- 46:05Obviously, we saw weight this year and That was the beginning
- 46:11of our frustrations. Because if we had just run the
- 46:15right damn thing, we make wake look a lot worse than they
- 46:19actually are but we didn't, we got stupid.
- 46:23Yeah, in offense and y'all know who are referring to.
- 46:28In that case when you try to run it, the edges of a team that
- 46:31says the edges well versus the inside, where their shit.
- 46:35Oh sorry, we're picking the Wisconsin game.
- 46:37Give me what? Wisconsin gonna blow the doors
- 46:40off, Wake Forest. I don't care if Wake Forest had
- 46:41to drive two hours to Charlotte to play this game.
- 46:46Wisconsin, more Talent, better quarterback, better run game
- 46:50better defense. I'm with you because honestly I
- 46:56wait for is befuddles me just across the board like, So, you
- 47:05know, they lose a game to NC State.
- 47:07The beginning of the year on, you went down to the wire then
- 47:11they closed the year by getting blown out by Louisville and in
- 47:17the middle there they beat us, they beat Virginia and take you
- 47:22and see the damn bring. I don't know what this team is
- 47:25anymore. Like I thought I knew in the
- 47:27middle of the season when we played our game but I apparently
- 47:30have no fucking idea who they are.
- 47:32So I Oh, in that case, I will take Wisconsin.
- 47:36Exactly. I've seen Wisconsin blow people
- 47:38out the, the losses were 23 pretty good teams.
- 47:44So yeah, I think Wisconsin wins Big on that one.
- 47:47All right, Brian, let's get into the New Year's 6 in an
- 47:53intriguing matchup like one. I'm actually looking forward to
- 47:58watching is going to be on Wednesday night.
- 48:03The Cotton Bowl with Florida versus Oklahoma, this line flip
- 48:08big, it is Oklahoma two and a half.
- 48:11Now just a few days ago it was Florida like -4 so a six and a
- 48:15half Point swing obviously for it.
- 48:18It's got quite a few opt-outs going on, but will you feeling
- 48:21on this one? It would have been a no-brainer
- 48:25for Florida before these opt-outs but We had what just in
- 48:31the last 24 48 Hours, several of the key players for the Florida
- 48:37have opted out. So I'm going to take Oklahoma
- 48:40here. It mean it's pretty much a field
- 48:42goal game here close to this as close to a pickup as you can get
- 48:45without being a pickle. So I'll take Oklahoma.
- 48:49Yeah you got to Darius Tony opting out.
- 48:53I'm trying to see if Kyle pits his up and out marking Marco
- 48:56Wilson. More receivers.
- 49:01So I'm with you give me Oklahoma just because I feel like
- 49:08Oklahoma is going to be able to score on the Florida defense in
- 49:12with Florida with more and more people opting out by the day you
- 49:18just gotta feel they're not going to be able to keep up in
- 49:21depth within yes the Florida had Tony pits and Grimes all opt
- 49:27out. That's your Best receiving
- 49:30Target into of your good receivers, what about trash
- 49:34because trash decided to opt out yet or she going to and see
- 49:39anything about Trask. Well, he's kind of still playing
- 49:44for the Marco Wilson were either side of the ball, so yeah, yeah,
- 49:50yeah. So that me that makes Oklahoma
- 49:52kind of a no-brainer here. But all right.
- 49:57Let's go down to Atlanta next. Braun and the Peach Bowl with
- 50:03the Georgia, Bulldogs and the Cincinnati Bearcats, The
- 50:08Undefeated Bearcats, AC Champions with Luke fickle,
- 50:14Marxist Freeman, at defensive coordinator.
- 50:17I think they're looking for a little respect in this game and
- 50:21I think with the amount of time they have to prepare And again,
- 50:30I can't see Georgia blowing them out.
- 50:32I can't see Georgia, winning by 10 points.
- 50:35I think it's going to be a scrapper and when you have that
- 50:40sort of game always go, dog. So give me Sensi.
- 50:45Give me the seven points. I think they pull the upset out,
- 50:48right? I think it's going to be an
- 50:51absolute War. Going to be an absolute war on
- 50:59New Year's Day at noon. Before we get into the big
- 51:01games, keep an eye on it. Okay, I'm actually right there
- 51:06with you, I'm not going out right when but I think since he
- 51:10is definitely looking for some respect.
- 51:13After all of this big-time snubbing by the committee,
- 51:17probably, at least having them. At least probably two slots
- 51:22lower than you would think they should be based on.
- 51:25Oh yeah. What?
- 51:26Some other teams have done. Most, most people had him right
- 51:29behind. Am kind of right there at that
- 51:32six spot and that's not what happened.
- 51:35So I feel like they're playing for some respect.
- 51:37They kind of got a little bit more Of the roster that they're
- 51:42used to than maybe other does. So I will go with Cynthia.
- 51:46I'm not going to go with the outright win, but later Point.
- 51:49Yeah, next one is going to be the Fiesta Bowl with organ and
- 51:56Iowa State. Iowa, State Lane Four Points.
- 52:01So Bryan we think on this one? Oregon's going to outright win
- 52:05this game. Whoo, buddy.
- 52:11I think it's going to be very very close but and I mean the
- 52:15line says that there, it's at 4:00 but I think Oregon is going
- 52:20to squeak it out. You think the war against weeks
- 52:23it out here about the bowl game last year?
- 52:30Where a lot of people didn't give them a chance but just one
- 52:36of those things where Like it seems like Mario crystal balls
- 52:39are kind of guy when he gets into a one-game situation.
- 52:44He has very good. This is how we're going to win
- 52:48this game but he can control long-term outcomes.
- 52:52He does a very good job. He does and so give me the 42.
- 52:57I'm with you, I think Oregon wins this game outright and this
- 53:01game is going to be on Saturday afternoon at 4:00 so you know
- 53:06get your beverages. Popcorn, get ready for it.
- 53:10All right, before we get too big to Gaines.
- 53:14Let's go to the Orange Bowl. Excuse me.
- 53:16Yes, the Orange Bowl on Saturday night.
- 53:20North Carolina, Texas A&M Texas, A&M Lane, seven points.
- 53:25Caroline has already had a few guys already opted out.
- 53:30I've got to say this is going to be am big.
- 53:34I think am pissed because I think a medium says, we had a
- 53:37play band. The second week in the season
- 53:40they beat us by 28, Ohio State's, played five games.
- 53:46Why didn't we get in? Well, they played six but they
- 53:50shouldn't have played six because the Big E Big Ten change
- 53:53the rules. They kept pinging rules.
- 53:55And remember it was, it was six when they look like it was, it
- 53:58was 7, but then it went to six. Yeah.
- 54:02Like they were only going to get Sarah, like they essentially
- 54:04kept finding ways to make Ohio State, the car.
- 54:08France Champion, so I think that's all they did.
- 54:11They kept finding ways so that Ohio state would be their
- 54:14conference Champion. So they would have a chance of
- 54:16having a team in the college football, playoff and I don't
- 54:21disrespect and for doing it. It's still.
- 54:25She is still very shitty. So heating am give me am by
- 54:30three touchdowns. I'm pretty much right there with
- 54:35you. I don't know if I'll take the
- 54:36three touchdowns but I'll definitely take more than the
- 54:38seven especially since I don't know what UNC team is going to
- 54:42show up true. Like if the defense that played
- 54:47against us and against Wake Forest shows up, it's going to
- 54:52be more than 21. Yeah, exactly.
- 54:56Exactly. If you're giving up points to
- 54:58the fifth in the 50s to a losing team in those matchups, you
- 55:02Definitely going to get your ass ran against Texas A&M.
- 55:07All right well let's go to the playoffs man.
- 55:12The Rose Bowl in. Arlington, not Pasadena yeah,
- 55:18Rose Bowl by way of Texas and Texas.
- 55:22I give them I give them credit. For moving it.
- 55:31Where fans Could come at least at least the kids families could
- 55:36show up. So California, you're a bunch of
- 55:39idiots. If nothing else for that game
- 55:41you should have said every player coach.
- 55:47Staff member can bring for family members, 70,000 seat
- 55:53Stadium. You can't just spread some
- 55:55motherfuckers out. Like, let 1,000 in there and
- 55:57spread them out, you know, Rose Bowl the hell of a lot.
- 55:59Bigger than that, man. How big is the Rose?
- 56:02Will I forget how big the Rose Bowl has is hold on.
- 56:09Say that again, 90,000. So yeah, they could have done,
- 56:13you can let, you can let a thousand people in there and
- 56:15spread their ass. Up.
- 56:16Yes, you can. It's not that hard.
- 56:18I dis is a big one. This is Notre Dame.
- 56:21This is Alabama historic programs, which I feel like I
- 56:25don't know what meeting this is for them.
- 56:27I'm going to effort this real quick.
- 56:29They never really played Seven Pounds.
- 56:32Seven times, which is just insane to think last time was
- 56:38clearly 2013 in the BCS championship game where family
- 56:42blew their doors off. Then eighty seven eighty six
- 56:45eighty. Yeah.
- 56:46They didn't play a single time between 87 and the 2012.
- 56:51National Championship game, only three times in bowl games by
- 56:56reason. It's crazy.
- 56:59Bam has laying 19 Braun. Were you thinking you know what
- 57:05my head is saying? Take bam in the points.
- 57:09They've been playing fucking lights out but I feel like this
- 57:14was going to be tighter than that 2012 match up while.
- 57:18Yeah, we're going to see a little more fight out of the
- 57:22Irish. I feel like there's some guys on
- 57:26that team that are Playmakers their big play, guys in the
- 57:31right circumstance. So I think the Irish will keep
- 57:34it closer than the 19's. They give me the Irish there.
- 57:37Yep. And I'm going to go with you on
- 57:39this. And if the Irish were smart, and
- 57:42they didn't do this against Clemson, they have the talent
- 57:47where they need to slow this game to a fucking crawl.
- 57:53Yep. I mean, literally Snap the ball
- 57:57with two seconds on the clock. Do not.
- 58:00Try to pay play Pace without them.
- 58:02Don't do that. And I hate to say this, I'm
- 58:05going to go back to our game versus Clemson, this year.
- 58:09Look how it worked, limited possessions, you slow the game
- 58:13down. You went to some of your
- 58:14strengths. Yep.
- 58:16And we were in that ball game Notre Dame when that game
- 58:21started here that couple Saturdays ago, I'm like slow it
- 58:25down and they're trying to sling the ball on.
- 58:27Like you're you're playing the game.
- 58:30You can run Chiron, Williams, and Chris Tyree until they can't
- 58:34run the ball anymore and uz and book as your stick mover on
- 58:36third down, that's it. Slow steady, slow steady.
- 58:43I'll take it because I think Brian Kelly is a smart enough.
- 58:45Coach can knows, that's his only chance to win.
- 58:48But by all means, if we're sitting here on Friday afternoon
- 58:52and I'm seeing them go three and out because they're trying to
- 58:54sling the ball and be like, fuck these.
- 58:59Meanwhile, that's all right, Matt.
- 59:01I think they'll bring a little bit more faith than they did
- 59:04against Clemson. I think, I think they were
- 59:05better game plan, especially with the amount of time.
- 59:07They had to prepare for it. And I think they've seen what
- 59:10can happen against Clemson and they'll learn from that mistake
- 59:13as well. All right, well speaking of
- 59:16Clemson, they are playing Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl
- 59:21Clemson's. Lance, seven and a half points.
- 59:26Did you hear dabo's comment about why he put Ohio State 11?
- 59:30I heard it. Well, the other teams had played
- 59:34nine or more games and they have with them.
- 59:41All right Debo we got you we got you you know you kind of
- 59:46backtracked while you put them 11 verses just saying.
- 59:49Well I don't know if they're good or not they ain't played
- 59:51enough games. That's all you had to say.
- 59:53Yeah. Not that the other teams have
- 59:56played a bunch of games but this is obviously a rematch from last
- 1:00:00year that literally went down to the wire.
- 1:00:04And the way I feel about it this year is I do not think of Ohio
- 1:00:12State is as good on defense as they were last year.
- 1:00:17I think Thompson's better on offense.
- 1:00:19I think their line is better than it was last year.
- 1:00:21I think Lauren says when another notch with the way that they're
- 1:00:25running that offense I can't I see this is a 10 or 14 point
- 1:00:32game somewhere like 40. 28:42, 31 going to be competitive, but
- 1:00:39I think, Clemson pulls away too late.
- 1:00:41We thing, I think, Ohio state will have a leading this game.
- 1:00:45I think they still lose by at least 10 points.
- 1:00:48Okay. I think Ohio State might jump
- 1:00:51out early and kind of have like a 10-7 or a 14-7 lead somewhere
- 1:00:57in the first or second quarter, but I think Clemson's just going
- 1:01:01to be too much across four quarters eventually.
- 1:01:04That offense is going to break through get some points on the
- 1:01:07board. I like Clemson's defense with I
- 1:01:12like Ohio State's defense and I like Clemson's offense because
- 1:01:15it's more Dynamic than what Ohio state is even though how to stay
- 1:01:20can definitely put some points on the board.
- 1:01:22So I'm going to I'm going to take Clemson to cover their.
- 1:01:25Alrighty. So there are our picks for the
- 1:01:28next six days. Looking forward to see how we do
- 1:01:35now. Brian, I'm scrolling through
- 1:01:36here. Is there anything else we are
- 1:01:38missing? I don't see anything of note pop
- 1:01:42through, don't nobody else has entered the transfer portal in
- 1:01:45the hour. We've been recording here so I
- 1:01:48think we're going to be all right.
- 1:01:50We think I'm trying to see Jalen Holsten put a video up a couple
- 1:01:55hours ago that I did not see I'm assuming he is back.
- 1:02:01All right. Well folks that is going to wrap
