Louisville Expert SURPRISED Me Before Cardinals Football Game vs Wake Forest! · ACC Football Addiction (Atlantic Coast Conference)

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right. Welcome back to ACC football addiction. We've got
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Louisville and wake this week. I had Louisville with a
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: big win against SMU last week. I've got my buddy
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Jeremy back on to chat about all of it. We
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: are presented by price picks. We're all new users who
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: play a $ 5 lineup and win get $ 150 in lineups instantly.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: If they use code HMA, Jeremy, a massive win last week.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I told you I liked Louisville. I liked Louisville going away.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: So Um, I, and I know you like Louisville too,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and like you're, you're built to like Louisville.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Sure. But I did predict a double digit victory as
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: well on the show.
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I, I liked, no, I tell you, I was,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: I was in Tuscaloosa watching the score up on the stadium.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: I saw, I saw Louisville was up. Then I saw
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: this immediately and I was like, uh, hopefully that wasn't
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: just like the early barrage, but then. got out and
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: watched the end of it. And so I, yeah, I
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: was impressed when I rewatched the game. I was really impressed.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't think Louisville was perfect by any means, but
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: they were by far the better team and got the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: job done, which is what you want. You want that
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: nine more times and then we'll see what happens. But overall,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I thought Louisville going into that game was the more
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: consistent team. I thought if either team was going to
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: make more mistakes, it would probably be SMU. And it
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: kind of played out that way. Really good team. I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: thought there were good teams on both sides. I thought
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: it was a lot of fun. But, you know, massive
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: win for Louisville, and now you turn your sights to Wake.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And it's like I was saying last week, the
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: key to the game was going to be defense. If
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: we could play the type of defense that we've played
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: all year, and I know it's a small sample size,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: if we could force Jennings to make stupid decisions, which
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: we did, And we could come up with a couple
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: other miscues that this was going to be. The penalties
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: still had a buttload of penalties, but thankfully they did too.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: So that didn't really play that big of a part.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Our running game was on point. The King host is just,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. I know we've talked about the
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: last couple of weeks and I was like, well, you know,
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: it's just one game. It's just like two games.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Well, now it's like three games.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Now it's like four games. It's like, well, wait a minute.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: This guy, can throw the ball. He's a great decision maker.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: He's like, and I know a lot of little fans
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: for whatever reason, like to crap all over a plumber,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: but he made great decisions. If, if he had Lincoln's feet, uh,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: ability to run, if you will.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: I think he would have been able to, to be
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: the standard bear here, but he's still at double digit wins.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, we crapped the bed and the title
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: game to you all, but whatever. Um, But no, Keenan
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Holtz is showing me stuff that I've never seen here
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: before at Louisville, and I love it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: The game this weekend, although there seems to be some
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: concern around Wake Forest's quarterback, I was ready. Okay. I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: was just saying your praises for a few minutes.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go the other way for a minute
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and see how much you disagree. I don't worry about
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Louisville in games like SMU or I know you mentioned
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: the ACC championship, but I don't worry about Louisville in
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: games like SMU or Florida state or Clemson. Like I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: know they're going to show up, you know, where I
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: worry about.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Louisville, wait, Virginia, Boston college.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Wait, wait for it. You said that with a quarterback,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: like on the Cal Stanford couple of years ago, like, yeah, it's,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: it's not the big ones.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: It's.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: And, and, and to be fair, like that, that happens
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: with a lot of teams. it's hard to get up
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: emotionally 12 times. I understand that I was, and still am.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Cause I don't think he's been ruled out. We'll see
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: what happens with their QB, but I thought wake put
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: a heck of a performance on against Miami a couple
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago or no, just last week, last Friday.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: And you got at Louisville coming off of a big
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: emotional game. You've got wake. That feels like maybe they
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: left a little bit on the table and could have
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: maybe played Miami even closer than that. 13 points. and
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: really had a chance to knock them off. And so, man,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: they get another shot with an extra day of rest
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to go out and then, okay, well, we couldn't beat
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: number one. Let's go beat number two. I worry about
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: this spot in general for Louisville based on what we've
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: seen from them the last few years. All of that
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: is undone if their QB can't go. I take it
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: all back if he's not there and doesn't play because
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: he's a difference maker. I really like that kid.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man. Look, it's funny you said that
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: because on my way home, I was like, You know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: we pretty much have went blow for blow with Miami
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: since being in the ACC. Actually, I think we had
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: the upper hand on them, including last year's victory. Florida
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: State has been pretty even. Since we've been in the league,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: maybe we're up 6-5 or maybe we're down 6-5. It's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: been pretty close. And then Clemson, that's just been an anomaly.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: But if you would have told me coming in, Wake
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Forest– Virginia, and Boston College, and NC State. Let's throw
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: them in there too. I was salivating coming into the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: ACC because I was like, those four teams are on
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: our schedule every year. That will just be like, that
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: would be great. We just need to split Florida State
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: and Miami, win those four games. We've had the most
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: problems with those teams. And that's so weird as a
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Louisville fan because normally we– get up for the big games.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: And it falls in line with what you were saying earlier.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, the Sugar Bowl, the Orange Bowl, the Fiesta Bowl.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, those are all games that we came into
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: and people didn't give us a chance and we went
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: out and we did our thing in those games. So, yeah,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I hate that, but you're right on that. It's the
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: lower echelon of teams that we've had the issues with.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: It's inexplicable. I've been watching Wake Forest, Louisville. I sent
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: you the link to our story that had all the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: Wake Forest games. If you would have told me coming
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: into this that our biggest rival would have been Florida
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: State and Wake Forest, I would have said, yeah, okay,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: love the Florida State one. No, never Wake Forest. But
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you've got the defensive game, which was the 20-19 game
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: that Louisville tried to give away multiple times, but it
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: picked six in the fourth quarter, I believe, by Walker,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: sealed that victory for us. You've got the six turnover
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: in the third quarter game against Sam Hartman and crew. Uh,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: you've got the, uh, Evan Conley game in 2020 or 2021,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I believe where our starting quarterback gets knocked out. We
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: knocked their starting quarterback out. Hartman comes in for them. Yeah.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: We bust him up. The starting quarterback gets back in.
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: We beat him up again. And then we end up
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: with our third string quarterback, 45 yard touchdown, uh, with, with,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: Just a couple minutes. I mean, there's just so many.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: Lamar beat the tar out of them. That wasn't really contestable,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: but they also beat us really bad, too. So that
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: team is a team. You could tell me they're starting quarterback,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: starting running back, and starting everything was out this game.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I would still be concerned about them because those are
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: the type of teams. And I don't know why. I've
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: known multiple players on all these teams that have had
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: these struggles with the teams. At the lower echelon teams.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: And they say they don't know what happens. They don't
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: prepare any less. They don't prepare any differently. And it
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: just goes that way. Last thing really quick about Wake Forest,
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: for right now anyway, I was talking with Deion Branch
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: yesterday and telling him, man, just make sure we don't have,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: because even with Deion, when Deion was here, and that's
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: when I met Deion, Back in 2001, we had a
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: pretty decent year and then came out in the bowl
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: game against Colorado State of all teams and lost. You
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: put a good team in the bowl game, we're going
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: to play pretty well against them. You put a medium team,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: it's a coin flip. So just the focus. And when
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: we talk about how many penalties that we've committed this
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: year so far, focus is the thing I'm concerned with.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I'll get right back to chatting with Jeremy, but first
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: let me just give some quick love to Alumni Hall.

• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Now back to Jeremy.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I just, I wonder if it is, you talk about
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: like reasoning and stuff. I just wonder if it is
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: like truly getting up. Like, I think it's easy to
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: get up. when SMU comes, it'll be easy next Friday
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: when Florida state comes, no matter where they're at, you know,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: kind of in their season, just because of the logo,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, wake forest deserves every bit of
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the respect right now. I think Jake Dickard's a great coach.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I think Gio Lopez, hopefully, I mean, you know, for,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: for Louisville sake, maybe you'd rather I'm not, but like,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: I think Gio Lopez is a really good quarterback who is,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: you know, looked really good at times against Miami. It'll
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: make that game more entertaining and, If he's there, now again,
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: for Louisville, you'd love for him to rest up, man.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Be ready for the rest of the season.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Chill out, chill out.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, I think they deserve a ton of
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: respect because he's built something pretty special there. He did
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: a good job coming in from Washington State and then
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: coming over. So I think they do present a challenge.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: One of the things you talked about, I mean, that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: feels pretty pertinent is if Louisville wants to get to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: the places it needs to get to this year, the
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: penalties last week, the mistakes, were somewhat counteracted by SMUs
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: and then Jennings' mistakes too, obviously. But that does need
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: to get cleaned up. And you would hope that against
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: an opponent that you are favored pretty good against, whether
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: Lopez is there or not, you'd hope that you can
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: get some of that stuff kind of cleaned up this week.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. And the stuff we're doing now, again, we talked
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: last week, there's good penalties and bad penalties. We had
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: a couple times where we hit, not a couple times,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: we had one time where we hit Jennings late. I
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: was okay with that because you can put their leader
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: out of the game. Sure, maybe the second string guys,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: we've seen it before. Evan Conley come in and threw
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: for like a million yards. We scored 63 points, 100 touchdowns. Now,
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: only one of those things are true, but you just
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: never know. But you can give yourself a better chance
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: if you knock out one of their star players. It's
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: the false starts. It's the procedural stuff. It's all the unnecessary,
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: blocking the bag, just all that stuff that just drives
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: you crazy. And I played football. I played football at Louisville.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: I played football in high school. I knew when– and
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying I'm perfect or I was perfect, but
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: I knew not to do certain things. And it seems
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: like some of these guys are– are still doing it anyway,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: and I don't know, man. I'm not at practice every
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: day of the week. I'm there quite often. It doesn't
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: seem like these things are happening at practice. It seems
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: like maybe guys are getting too amped. You see things
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: like late hits, and you're like, man, come on, man.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: You should know. I know you do that, too. Just
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: every game, it seems like there's multiple times for us
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: this season so far. We're like, no, don't do it.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, crap.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: Come on, man. But, again, we knocked Ole Miss' quarterback
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: out a couple times, and they're running back out, and
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: we knocked Jennings out. Now, Jennings came back. But, yeah,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: it's just the focus has to be there, and we
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: will be favored in every game going down the stretch.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: Got to make the most of it. Can't have a–
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: they call it– now, I don't call it this, but
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: they call it a Brom blunder game. And Purdue, he
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: had one every year. He's had one at Louisville so
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: far every year. I've given him the benefit of the doubt.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: This year, if we're serious about being a college football
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: playoff team, we cannot have a Brahm blunder this year.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Are we better than the rest of the teams on
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: our schedule? I truly believe we are. We've got to
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: play like it, and that includes focus.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Last week, Rafael ran for 197 yards for SMU. He
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: did have the big chunk of 40, but that was
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: on 24 carries. He averaged over eight yards a carry,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: so it's not like he just had two long explosives
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and then you bottled him up for the rest of
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the night. He was pretty consistent. It didn't take him
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: 40 rushes to get there. Wake's got, is it Clark
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: there at Wake right now? I mean, they've got some
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: running backs that can that can, you know, move fairly well.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I also think that with with Wake's passing game, which
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: is where I maybe have a little bit more confidence
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: in Louisville, Wake's passing game also not bad. So just
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: thoughts around, you know, being able to be a little
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: bit better. in the trenches on the ground, uh, against, uh,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: I don't think wake has an elite running game by
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: any means, but I think they do a decent job
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: with yeah. Ty Clark, the third, um, who honestly only
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: had one carry against Miami, um, but has, has led
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: their team in rushing this year and has a pretty
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: good average too.
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Look, I know it takes some running backs 28
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: times to get that amount of yards. I mean, he
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: wanted only took him 12, but whatever, uh, Isaac, it
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: would take him less than that. If we could get
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: him going, but I'm of the mindset that I would
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: rather give up the yards on the ground than the
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: yards to the air. And I said that in a
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: pregame show last week, I said, if we can force
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Jennings to hand the ball off more and not make
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: as many plays through the air, that's going to run
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: time out. That's going to run the clock. That's going
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: to go to our favor. If we can make them
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: make mistakes, we can methodically just take this game away
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: from them while the ball is in their hands. And, um,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: that's what i'm still that same mindset if we let
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: the running back get a little loose it's okay um
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: but we have a really good rush defense so i'm
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: not really sure what happened i think we were so
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: focused on jennings last week that we let rafael uh
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: have a little bit more maybe we didn't think he
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: or maybe we were okay with him him getting what
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: he got just as long as it wasn't jennings leading
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: 40 second drives down the field so um not really
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: too familiar with Wake Forest's run game. But at this point,
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: with the quarterback being questionable, you just don't know. This
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: could be, we could come out and win 69 to nothing,
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: or we could come out and it'd be 28-24. It's just,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: you don't know. Again, I worry about the focus. I
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: worry about them. And this is not just Louisville, any team.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: When you're Ohio State playing FIU, you're going to be like, ah,
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: we can make a couple mistakes. If you're Michigan playing
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Central Michigan and you get an extra second at the
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: end of the game, if you're playing a team that
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: on paper you should beat by a billion, you did
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: it my high school year, last game senior year of
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: high school. We had a chance to set the best
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: record that our school had ever had at 9-1. We
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: played the 0-9 Iroquois Raiders. Shout out to Iroquois. They
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: deserve my shout outs for a lifetime for this. And
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: we were out there, and we had a couple sloppy drives,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: but we were out there playing. We were just out
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: there playing backyard football. We were like, well, this team
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: can't beat anybody all year. But they took advantage of
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: our mistakes in the second half, Because there was no
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: play clock here in Louisville at that time. They just
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: ran the ball, ran the clock out the second half.
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Didn't have a chance. So that's what I'm worried about.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: I'm worried about us not taking them seriously. But in
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: the same thing, I'm also not as worried about that.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Because as I said, talking to Deion, Deion said he
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: was going to make sure they were focused. Make sure
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: he talked to the guys about being overzealous and overconfident.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: So I'm not too worried about a close game this
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: week as I would be in a different week because
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: these guys know that Wake Forest is legitimately, I would say,
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: behind Miami and Florida State, our number three rival. We've
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: beaten them when they were ranked. I'm sorry. We've beaten
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: them when they were ranked and we weren't ranked. They've
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: done really well against us when we were ranked and
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: they weren't. It's just, I can't explain it. It's just
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: an odd feud, odd rivalry, if you will. I'm not
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: sure it's a feud. But it's an odd rivalry, and
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: it's one that you've got to take serious. Because, again,
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: you could lay out all the records for all the teams.
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: There is not, to me, there is not a week,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: a perennial week team in the ACC, whereas you could
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: look to a conference like, let's go ahead to the
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: Hot Topic Conference, the SEC, You've got two teams that
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: are normally doormats every year. It's either Vandy or it's
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: that blue team down the road normally. In the Big Ten,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: it's normally Purdue. It was IU. I still cannot stand.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Or Illinois. You know, there's always a couple. I don't see.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Maybe that's conference homerism in me. I don't intend for
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: it to be that way. But just by going through
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: the experience, I have not experienced a team that I've
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: been like, we're going to destroy them every year when
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: we play them. It's just not there.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: Wake, Louisville won the first four games of this all-time series.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: It's three and three in the last six, so it
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: does kind of speak to some of what we were
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: talking about. They certainly have been more competitive since 2017.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: They won the first two, then you guys won two,
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: then they won one, and you guys won in 2022.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I do like Louisville in this one. I think Keenholz
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: is too good. I think Brown presents too big of
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: a problem for them. Brown is through the first. Rafael
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: had a good game last week. But yeah, through the
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: first three games of the year, I think Brown's probably
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: my leader for running back in this conference. And the
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Miami guys have kind of been held down and banged
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: up at times. So Brown's my leader in the, in
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: the conference at running back. Keen holes is a, to me,
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: a top three quarterback in the league as well, which
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: with some really good quarterback play all over. So I
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: think you guys will be too much. I do think
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: you win. It might be closer because I do think
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: that this is a close game that both teams play. Well,
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: it'll be close to me. If geo plays, if geo
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't play, then I think Louisville kind of wins going away,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: and the game is less intriguing. So for me, selfishly,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: I'm hoping he does play. But do you have a
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: score in this one?
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I do. First off, I want to say this year
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: is one of the first times in a long time
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: where I feel like we legitimately have a top three
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: quarterback in the conference. Brown was the running back we thought,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: but it's not the same Brown. Isaac Brown we thought
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: was going to be the guy that was leading this team,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: and they've doubled and triple teamed him, and Kiwan's been
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: able to get in there. Kiwan's more physical. Isaac's more
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: of a running running back, if that makes sense. And
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: we've got a top three defense, too. I really feel
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: like you could line our defense up against anybody, and
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: we would hang really tight with them. At the beginning
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: of the week, I was leaning more towards 38-27, but
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: if the quarterback don't play, I think 42-17 should be
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: the ending margin there. I think that our guys are
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: getting used, again, Golly, man, thank you all so much
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: for letting McCoy go. We talked about this last week.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: He made another play this week where he caught the ball,
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: and then it looked like he was playing on an
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Etch-A-Sketch out there.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: He's unreal.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: That makes that guy that said something to you on
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Twitter a couple weeks ago look even more stupid. Show
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: me a wide receiver tandem in the ACC that's as
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: good as Richardson and McCoy. Show me a second. Scratch that.
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: Show me a number two receiver that's as good as McCoy,
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: and I will argue that until I can get blue
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: in the face. He is one of the best route
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: runners I've ever seen. And don't forget, I've been around here.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I've been around Deion. I've been around Iben Green. I've
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: been around Devontae Parker, Jalen Smith, Des Fitzpatrick, Tutu Atwell.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: This guy, Mario Urrutia, if I leave him out, he
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: will call me and he'll cuss me out. But it's true.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, those guys are all... Harry Douglas, all fantastic.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: McCoy's right up there as far as.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's so smooth. It's so natural for him. Yeah,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think this is too lofty of a comparison. So.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: Somebody don't clip this, but just the way that AB
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: used to look smooth running routes. Like, I don't think
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: he's Antonio Brown, right? Like as much as I'm over
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: the moon about McCoy and his talent, AB is an
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: NFL hall of famer. Let's give McCoy a couple of
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: years before I'm giving him a gold jacket, but route
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: running specifically, like the, the way that he looks fluid
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: in running routes is, is the first comparison I make again,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: I'm not calling him AB. Don't jump down.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: That road for that. Hold on really quickly. I'm creating
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: a thumbnail that says Florida State expert says the most outlet.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: So TJ is saying.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I tried to back that comparison off a little bit,
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: but somebody will be like.
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: TJ is saying McCoy is way better than Antonio Brown. Yeah.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: I'm writing that down. We'll talk about that on our show.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: Antonio Brown is a poor man's Luane McCoy. Okay.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Fair enough.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: Fair enough. Jeremy, where can people follow you? Oh, so
• 22:16
