  Speaker 1: I had the recap pot on Sunday. Austin, we missed
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: you syday after that thrilling win over Purdue, I can tell.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: That the podcast probably just wasn't the same. We probably
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: lost a couple of fans, you know, worried that I
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: wasn't coming back, But you know, being in the ones
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: of Michigan wasn't too bad either.
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: I can't believe you missed after All Time Football Game
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: batt'ld be on ESPN Classic for years.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I'm sure I did. I listened to it on the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: radio because we didn't have enough perception to actually get
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: actually able to watch it, so we were able to
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: turning on the radio and girl some Venison Burgers sitting
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: out in the woods. So it's pretty good.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: A lot of radio listeners this week. I was a
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: radio listener.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: I kind of like it. It's fun.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: I'm actually withy on that one.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I just don't like Damon. If Damon could just not
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: be our color guy, that'd be great. Not a fan.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: I don't like Damon Benning.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: I don't like Damon Benning. No, it's bad, too positive
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: and he tries to be clever and it just did
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: not work. His his number stick this year for some reason.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: It's bad trying to add up the Jersey numbers to
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: make six.
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Did Davison get booted because the whole Scott Frost thing or.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I don't know if they were actually officially there was
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: ever a good story about that.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: But he's a nil guy. Now he's the head of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: the collective nineteen ten collective, working hard.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Get that.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Jack's sure you watched the game?
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: Yeah?
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Today, Give us your thoughts. I guess we haven't talked
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to you for a few weeks. Give us your thoughts
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and where we're at.
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: I feel yeah so far for and one Yeah, I
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: mean gotta win. Boy. The first half was frustrating. It
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: just I was. I was.
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: I wasn't very happy. I probably wasn't very fun guy
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: to be around. In the stands. I so sitting next
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: to Arnie. He was to my left, and usually he
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: doesn't like it too much when you are negative but
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: he wasn't very happy either, and then my fiance was
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: on my right and.
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: Hats off to Perdue.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: I mean, I was in a majority Nebraska section, but
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: it I mean it was a sellout. It was there's
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: a lot of people there are read too, Okay, so
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: get this. So that's all people ask me, Like, was
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: it forty percent Nebraska? I'm colorblind, so I.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Like, I'm looking.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: I can tell if you're a Nebraska fan, if you're
• 3:09
  Speaker 6: right next to me looking out in the stadium and
• 3:12
  Speaker 6: saying it's majority red over black, like red and black
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: just blends into me.
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: So I'm like, God, I don't know.
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: But no, it was first half obviously frustrating. You know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: I will say this. I thought about this on the
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: drive over here. I looked and Buddy from Beatrice was
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: there too, Jesse gainrich San.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: I looked at her. I said, we're not going to
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: win this game. We're just there's no way we're going
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: to win this game.
• 3:34
  Speaker 6: When it was zero to zero and we had the
• 3:36
  Speaker 6: debacles on special teams, I was like, we don't win
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: this game.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: We're not.
• 3:41
  Speaker 6: We usually don't, So, you know, I guess if there's
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: a silver lining to it, as we ended up winning
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: by eighteen. I mean, I would take any team on
• 3:50
  Speaker 6: the schedule we play for the rest of the year
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: and the rest of the time that Nebraska fields a
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: football team that we win by eighteen every game, I
• 3:56
  Speaker 6: take it. So you know, all's well, that ends well.
• 3:59
  Speaker 6: The first half frustrating, it was. I mean, gosh, it's frustrating.
• 4:03
  Speaker 6: The first half wasn't very much fun. I didn't even
• 4:05
  Speaker 6: watch the last drive before halftime. I went, I had
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: to go to the bathroom and needed some refreshments. I said,
• 4:10
  Speaker 6: this is a good time to go. I don't even
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: want to watch. So I didn't watch the last dry
• 4:13
  Speaker 6: before halftime because I was so mad. And it turned
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: around pretty quick. It was fun in the stadium. It
• 4:19
  Speaker 6: was a lot of fun. When Bullet got that pick six,
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: that was fun. That was a memory that I'll remember
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: about Huscar football for a long time because it was hot.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: And then and another funny this is funny, but when
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Nebraska went up seven to three in the third quarter,
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: went up seven to three perdue, fans started leaving.
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: I'm not joking. They started leaving seven three, but it
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: got to be fourteen three. Everybody was leaving. And then
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: there's a lot more space in the stadium, is a
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: lot more comfortable.
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: And it was a weird day because it like rained,
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: it got chilly, it got hot, so it was it
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: was a weird college football game. But I'm glad we
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: came out on top of four and one. You know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: you think about how many good teams don't play well
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: throughout the season, and I just hope to God that
• 5:02
  Speaker 6: that that was our game where it's like, yeah, we
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: didn't play well, but we still want I mean, how
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: many how many good teams, how many teams that are
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: going to play in a high level bowl game, are
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: going to play for some this year are gonna look
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: bad from week to week or you know, look at
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 5:16
  Speaker 5: My god, you know, so I hope that's us.
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: I can't say with what did Trev Alberts say, there's
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: no empirical evidence that it will be Is that the
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: right word? But got the win reform and one.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: The Yeah, I mean winning a game like that is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: what really matters. And you're not going to remember all
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the details. I mean we might, but in the grand
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: scheme of things, you're gonna remember if you won or
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: lost the game, and I think.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Remember that horrible first half, but you won't remember why
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: it was horrible.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you can just remember zero zero.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: You don't remember why it's horrible, why it was horrible.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: The thing that rule I think is trying to instill,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: for sure in the players, and he's outwardly speaking this
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: to the me, but I think a little bit in
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the fans too, is that and we know this. Each
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Big Ten game is a grinder and you've got to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: come out winning these games. And yeah, we're not in
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: the top tier of Big Ten teams. I also would
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: say maybe we're not in the bottom. Purdue's probably in
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that bottom tier. But it's not like Purdue is a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: cake walk like a some of these other teams that
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: are on people's schedules. So like, you have to come
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: out and win, and if you win the game, you're
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: not going to really remember it, which is a good thing,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: and I think that's the message he's trying to pre
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Just don't overlook anybody anymore, especially in the Big Ten. Clearly,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: we have our hands full here in the next couple
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of weeks, games that I'll use this word again, should win,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: could win because we're favored. That's kind of where that's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: coming from. You know your your favorite. That means you
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: should win according to Vegas. And we have another one
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: here on Saturday against Rutgers. I wanted before we move
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: it into Ruggers a little more heavily here. I want
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to talk about the special teams a little more. That
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: is the talk of the town on every Husker podcast.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: We already talked about it on Sunday. We're gonna talk
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: about it again. It just seems to be that lingering
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: thing that hangs around that we can't get over. And
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it's been a variety of things, right, It's not just
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: been a part of the special teams. You know, you
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: think that the kicking and the kickers need to do
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: a better job, Well, then now it's the holders and
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the snappers, and you know the punning maybe is looking better,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: but then who she needs still next nineteen yards on
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a really fantastic pump because our COVERA team doesn't get
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: down there. Just a culmination of everything. I guess my
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: question for you guys, and Austin will start with you,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: who's responsible? Like, who is responsible for first? I guess
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: would you agree that special teams are not good? I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: would agree special team who's responsible and then how do
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: we fix it?
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: Well, it was interesting rules press conference yesterday he was
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: talking about He's like, hey, he wasn't calling anyone out,
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: but he's basically said players got to play, you know,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: during games, or like, we're hitting these we're getting these
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: snaps in practice, we're hitting these kicks in practice. I
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: can't make them perform on game day if they're performing
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: in practice and then not performing in the games. That's
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: not word for word what he said, but that's kind
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: of the gist of what I understand unless you guys
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: interpreted it differently differently, So, I mean, if you're going
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: to put it on someone, who's got to be the players,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: because I mean, you can coach it, but I mean
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you're missing in so many different ways with you know,
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: is it the players?
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I'm starting to think about it as I'm talking about it,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: because it's if it's systematic where both kickers are having
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: these issues, is it? Could it be the coaching? I
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: don't Kicking specifically is interesting because it's such an individual
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: role and there's not that much variation in what you're coaching.
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: You're not coaching situationally for the most part, outside of Hey,
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: you're going to kick to this side. You're going to
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: kick to this side, You're going to kick it through.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: That's pretty much it. So you're coaching technique, but I
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: feel like it's just going to come down to the
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: players actually executing. I mean, there's only so many ways
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: you can teach someone to kick a ball.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Oh I oh boy, it's on God damn. I can
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: decide Sunday either.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: I didn't think you were gonna ask Hunter.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: It's on the players. You got to make the kicks.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: Like like you said, it's an individual spot of the
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: game and you go out there. I mean, you can
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: practice all you want, but you just gotta go out
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: to make kicks. And the background kicking is their head cases.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: You miss one of these guys are mental midgets, and
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: they just they're gonna miss the rest of the year.
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: So at that point it gets to coaching though, So.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: I don't know, just open try out At this point,
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: both kickers suck and you know it, just fucking open
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: try out of it again.
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: Yes, all right, well cut me off when you need
• 10:22
  Speaker 6: to cut me off here, But ultimately, who's responsibility is it?
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Here's who's response it? Ultimate?
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: Okay from a coaching standpoint. Okay, it's Ed Fooley's job
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: to get the special teams right. Ultimately, who's responsibility. It's
• 10:34
  Speaker 6: Matt Rules responsibility. Okay, it's Matt Rules responsibility to make
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: sure that the product that we see on the field
• 10:40
  Speaker 6: on Saturday is a quality one, okay, and to make
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: sure that we don't get beat in those areas. And
• 10:46
  Speaker 6: here's the thing the last two get well, Illinois and
• 10:49
  Speaker 6: UH and Purdue. Here's the thing that just drives me
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: nuts Nebraska football. It's if it's not one thing, it's another.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: Okay. So I get text.
• 10:57
  Speaker 6: Message and people telling me, oh, chill out Jackson, like
• 11:00
  Speaker 6: not really chill at you, but but.
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: Hey, we fix the turnovers. Look how good?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: Okay?
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: Great?
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Like that.
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: That's what I mean. Ultimately, that's what winning teams do. Like,
• 11:09
  Speaker 6: but Nebraska football, it just seems like if it's not
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: one thing, it's another.
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 11:13
  Speaker 6: It seems like so I don't know, there's a there's
• 11:17
  Speaker 6: an underlying issue somewhere that something's not being done quite
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: right or or as effectively as possible. Because you know,
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: all season long, what was our emphasis all off season,
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: all off season.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: It was turnovers.
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: Turn I mean every drill they did was if your
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: defender get a turnover, if you're on offense, protect the ball. Okay,
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: that's why we're good at it this year because it's
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: a point of emphasis. Those things that get you beat
• 11:41
  Speaker 6: and that win you games have to continue to be
• 11:43
  Speaker 6: a point of emphasis. They don't just get fixed. Now
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: that's fixed. No, you got to continue to work on it.
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: You got to continue to emphasize it. So I think
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: the product falls suarely on the coaches from a coaching standpoint.
• 11:57
  Speaker 5: Now, you can't say that.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: I mean, coaches say that publicly, and players probably think
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: it's on them coaches, you know, whatever the case may be.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: But but you got.
• 12:05
  Speaker 6: As the head coach, as the special teams coach, you
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: have got to take care of that stuff.
• 12:09
  Speaker 5: That's your job, Okay.
• 12:11
  Speaker 6: And when it comes back back to players, I don't
• 12:14
  Speaker 6: believe and and I mean I'm not there at practice obviously,
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: so I can't say with certainly, But I don't think
• 12:20
  Speaker 6: that that the specialists are putting enough time in. I mean,
• 12:24
  Speaker 6: after you got a lot of apologists for what happened
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: in the first alfagance Purdue, Okay, national media get oh,
• 12:31
  Speaker 6: other teams miss kicks blah blah blahlah blah.
• 12:32
  Speaker 5: Okay, what happened.
• 12:34
  Speaker 6: What happened in that Purdue game was a disaster. It
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: was an absolute disaster. I'm not mad at anybody, not
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: even point. But bottom line is, I don't think our
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: specialists are putting enough time in. Okay, tell me how
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: many k our snappers? What do they do on offense?
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: What do our snappers do on defense?
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: Okay?
• 12:52
  Speaker 6: They have one job to snap the ball. Okay, how
• 12:55
  Speaker 6: many snaps can get in this week and be fresh?
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Okay?
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: How many?
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: In my mind, those snappers should be snapping a thousand times,
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: and the security guards at tom Osborne Sports Complex or
• 13:06
  Speaker 6: whatever it's called should have to kick those guys out
• 13:08
  Speaker 6: of the facility. There's just no reason for it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: And I'll tell you one thing, and this is I
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: come up with it. I drove. It was an eight
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: hour drive home, so I thought about it a long time.
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Bushini played a heck of a game, maybe his best
• 13:22
  Speaker 6: game as a Husker. He had two maybe touchdown saving tackles. Okay,
• 13:27
  Speaker 6: a big hit on a kickoff got the guys fired
• 13:30
  Speaker 6: up coming out of second half. Okay, those holes he
• 13:33
  Speaker 6: had when when the kicks were blocked. It was a
• 13:36
  Speaker 6: heck of a job by Boushini to get to get
• 13:38
  Speaker 6: those down and have him a chance. I mean that
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: was that was incredible.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: And then he's got five kickoffs for touchbacks through the
• 13:47
  Speaker 6: end zone.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: Okay, I don't know why we mess around with that.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: Why are we you know, we try to figure out
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: who the best kicker is kick it through the end zone. Okay,
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: there's just the chances and you're it's called mitigating risk. Okay,
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: the chances of something bad happens and you kick it
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: through the end zone.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: It's zero to the end zone.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: So we had five you're putting out there.
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: Right, He had five touchbacks, five kicks for touchbacks, and
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: then he had three punts inside the ten, one inside
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: the five, and one inside the one that should have
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: been down at the one. I mean the gunner fell
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: down or whatever that's The gunner falling down is to
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: me not near as big a deal as hey, he
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: pinned inside the one, like the gunner's got to execute,
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: but machine out of that day. So to me, to me,
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: Mashini is about my age is he's probably in his thirties.
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: It looks like it was his wedding ring on the field.
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: Those He's got to be the leader and get those
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: guys and say, hey, guys, let's get obsessed. Let's get
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: obsessed with the process. Let's get in the facility. Let's
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: be in the facility longer than anybody else, and let's
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: have it.
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: Can be fun. Let's have a blast seeing how good
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: we can get. Let's do it.
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: And I mean rule said in his pressed with the
• 14:56
  Speaker 6: guys are doing what they're supposed to do it. They
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: got to put an extra work. They gotta do extra work,
• 15:01
  Speaker 6: you know, give them a get on Google and find
• 15:05
  Speaker 6: a placekicker program and find a placeholder program and find
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: a long snapper program and do it over and over
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: and over again. Okay, and that's how you that's how
• 15:14
  Speaker 6: you fix those things.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: We're gonna start Google and stuff a couple of weeks
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: ahead of Indiana. We better be careful not to google
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Indiana coach's name cigar. Uh. Yeah, A lot of good things.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: So I I'm with Jackson. I do think and this
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: obviously comes from a coaching background. It falls into coaches.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: It falls ultimately unrule to add to what you're saying,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: and talking about how rules responding. I'm getting a little
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: sense that rules get in the little nancy with our
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Nebraska media fan base reactions that things. With regards to
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: the Special team's talk, you know, I think he wants
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to talk about the positives, which I don't blame him
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: because he did bring up all the specifics. Jackson just
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: me and then you know, the Mazuka thing brings up
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: and he's like trying to just shut it down immediately constantly.
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: I feel like rule and I don't know if this
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: is good or bad. I don't know, but early on,
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you know, he's like, it's on me, It's on me
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: to figure this out. To I'm me to. He did
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: throw a little bit back at the players this week,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: which I thought was interesting. It is on the coaches, though,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and I hope that we're not we're not getting the
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Scott Frost level. I'm not saying we are, because that
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: was that was clearly they's got to be able to
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: make the play on the field. You know, we're doing
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: everything we can. I don't know that we're fully there,
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: but the coaches need to figure out how to get
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: this fixed. And like we said, we don't know what
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: they're doing in practice. But I agree, like, put in
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: the time, do it until you're sick of it and
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: you don't know any better. Like there's no excuses out
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: of Division one Power five program that we can't execute
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: something that that's your only job at New Week.
• 17:02
  Speaker 6: So maybe that I mean from a competitive mindset, like
• 17:06
  Speaker 6: everyone in the country, I mean, it's just hype. Everyone
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: in the country thinks you guys suck. You guys sucked
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: in this gate. Everybody thinks you guys think you suck.
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: Right now, Okay, who cares? Have fun with it. Go
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: have a blast. Proven people wrong. Go see how good
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: you can get. To me, that sounds fun. I get
• 17:23
  Speaker 6: fired up talking about it.
• 17:24
  Speaker 5: Go see, go prove people wrong. See how good you
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: can get by the end of the year.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: And I think these guys hopefully want to do that.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I think they need to see a little success. And
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: that's the whole chicken before the egg thing is. If
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: they're not gonna see it, you know, it's hard for
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: their minds to get right in doing it well. To me,
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: that's all kind of bullshit. If you just put them
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: the time, I think you're gonna see the results come.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: And again I don't know what they're doing in practice.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: So I don't want to spend too much time on
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: special teams. But I do think that, like in a win,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: it's easy to say, you know, everybody misses kicks, we
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: lose that game, you lose, But we've lost how many
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: games because of kicks? You can argue that the Illinois
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: game was lost potentially because of the kick. I mean,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: it is it is a problem. We can't overlook its
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: People are trying to say, this is really a problem.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: It's a problem.
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: Again, there's some there's some issue. I mean, think about
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: Timmy Cole. How many years or two years ago he
• 18:27
  Speaker 6: was the big ten kicker of the year and comes
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: back and just loses it, Like what what is going on?
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: Like to me, it's get sick with the reps and
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: I know we've got to move on here. But I'll
• 18:37
  Speaker 6: say one more thing about coach rule. I really believe
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: in coach rule. I really like him. I I mean
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: when somebody says something bad about him, I shut him up.
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: I really believe in coach rule. So after the game,
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: I said, guys, I'm like a little kid around Husker football.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: Let's walk down the locker room and tell the guys
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: good job as you're walking.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: So we walked down the locker room. Rule passes me
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: on a golf cart, okay, and my fiance him goes, hey, Jackson,
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: there's rule right that. I didn't see him.
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: There's a rule right there. So I stopped, chased him out. Coach.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: Coach, coach and kind of looked at me and I said, hey,
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: good job, coach, And maybe I caught him off guard
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: or he thought I was going to say something bad
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: to him, but he was visibly like he was talking
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: to another guy, and I was like, gosh, he's not
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: in a very good mood. Two seconds later, when he
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: got to the postgame press conference, he changed his tone. So,
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: you know, I think he's I believe that Rule has
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: a plan. So when he kind of gets on people
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: in the media or or kind of is you know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: his tone with the media has changed a little bit,
• 19:34
  Speaker 6: I think he's got a plan in place.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: I guess that's what I believe, you know.
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: So I think he's trying to challenge the players to
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: the media a little bit, and I'm seeing the cup
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: half full with him because I believe in him, and
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: I could be wrong, but that did happen. I thought,
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: I was like, gosh, he's not very happy, and then
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: two seconds later he totally changed his tone.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: So and that with the media conversation too. What ultimately
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: matters on who's listening to the media. No one gives
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: a crap about what the media members the fans truly,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I mean the fans a little bit because they're your
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: donors and the nil on that side. But ultimately, when
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Rule talks, he wants to make sure the message is
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: coming out well for his team so they can come
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: out and perform yep week after a week. So I
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: think he knows. I think you're right. I think he
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: knows that, and he's strategically saying things to make sure
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: that goes well. Okay, Rutgers, I'm gonna throw in Dana
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: in here, but I said at the beginning of the year,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: these two games, I mean all these games here to
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: me are more important than any games in the rest
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: of our schedule. I know we talk about every game
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: is important, but seriously, these two games could flip the
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: momentum one way or the other. Specifically this week against
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Ruggers at home, undefeated team they're not ranked. People thought
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: they maybe weren't going to be were seven point favorite.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: I'm at home. They beat Howard Akron both whooped him.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: They won on the road of Virginia Tech, who is
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: underperforming this year, by three, and then they beat Washington
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: last week, also by three. They are led, and I'm
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: gonna start running back because that's gonna be the talk
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: of the week. Like Kyle Manongai, he is averaging I
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: believe twenty four attempts per game. He's already got over
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: five hundred yards. He was a leading Big ten rusher
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: last year. That's who's getting the ball. The scary part
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: is the quarterback is eighth in Calik Manis. Dad, go
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: ahead and say thank you. This team reminds me, and
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: not just because of ak forty seven, but it reminds
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: me of that Minnesota team last year where we were
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: so focused on the run game and then kaliak Manis
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: actually had a pretty damn good game through the air
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: and with his legs a little bit. I don't think
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: potentially he's as good as Luke Altmeyer. I don't think
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: they have this talent that Illinois had from a skill
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: position standpoint, But manon guys, for sure, the best running
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: back that we've seen. They don't have their receivers. Guys,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: they're going to run the ball and everybody knows it.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: The concerning part with the Rutgers, and I'm going to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: name some few stats here, is they play smart, efficient football.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: Second in red zone defense, fifth in the country, and
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: penalties are these are country numbers, fifth in the country,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: and penalties eighth in the country. Time of possession twelfth
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: in the country. Rushing offense seventeenth in the country, third
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: down conversion percentage, it's scary like we're playing Iowa East.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: This is the formula that counters all of these one
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: score losses that we've had the past few years. And
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that's why I don't feel great about this game at
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: all until we prove that we can win a close
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: game against a team like this. Now Iowa we've come
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: up damn close because it is Yeah, I agree Iowa
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: East like it's it's it's similar. They know their identity
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Schiano Gregiana, their head coach, has been there, kind of
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: let go and is now back like he knows exactly
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: what he wants to do. They're not this flashy football team,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: but they're gonna They're gonna beat you if you make mistakes.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: They're gonna play the way that they know how to play.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: We got to stop the run most importantly in this ballgame,
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: Dak will throw it to you. I guess to hype
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: up your boy AK forty seven.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they're definitely gonna run the ball game.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: But so last week, I think you played the least
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: improved quarterback in nation. This week, I think you might
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: play with won the best improved. Last year, he had
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: fourteen touchdowns, nine picks. He has seven touchdowns one pick
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: already on the year. So which it could be coaching
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: to PJ. Fleck, I don't think he knows that coach quarterback.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: I think they're using AK forty seven, right, So, yeah,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: they're gonna run the ball. But I I'd still be
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: worried about him passing. He looks he's a solid quarterback,
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: that's what. He's not even as good as Altmeyer, but
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: he's better Hudson Card. He's he's a solid quarterback. He's
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: not turned the ball over like you said.
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: I'd still be a little bit worried about him.
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: You gotta you can't stack the box full lead.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think the biggest argument against you know,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: the stats sound good. But they're four and oh. But
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: the three of the teams that they definitely should have
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: beat Ackron's not very good.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: Howard sucks.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not very good. And you could argue
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: that Washington beat themselves last week. Washington probably should have
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: won that game and then they kind of ended up
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: killing themselves. They're four and oh, but I don't think
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: they've played for very good teams, So I think the
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: stats might be a little bit of misleading. But I
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: agree offense are going to run the ball. We know
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: what they're going to do, and we just can't get
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: burned like we did against un I specifically for their
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: offense against our defense.
• 25:18
  Speaker 6: Dak, I one hundred percent agree with you. The narrative
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: is that we got to stop the run.
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: Stop the run. I'm a little bit nervous.
• 25:25
  Speaker 6: About caliak Manitts doing some of the Altmeyer RPO stuff
• 25:31
  Speaker 6: where we're just they're just wide open out there and
• 25:34
  Speaker 6: like the like dink and dunk stuff. I'm a little
• 25:36
  Speaker 6: bit worried about that, kind of like Illinois did to us.
• 25:41
  Speaker 6: But I'll tell you what about this game. To be
• 25:44
  Speaker 6: real honest with you, I told h when I told
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: who I rode back with When we on the way home,
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: they asked what will the spread be? I said, I
• 25:52
  Speaker 6: think Ruggers will be favored by three and it would
• 25:54
  Speaker 6: be generous because we're at home. I'm surprised we're favored,
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: and to be favored by a touchdown. I don't know
• 25:59
  Speaker 6: where that came from. So I didn't think we should
• 26:03
  Speaker 6: be favored. Now now I feel like we got a shot.
• 26:05
  Speaker 6: I got some hope, but I thought we I didn't
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: think we'd be favored. I think this game is going
• 26:10
  Speaker 6: to tell us way more about our team than any
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: other game all year. I think it's gonna be a
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: toughness game. It's gonna be which team is tougher. Hey,
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: you know what what Rugger's gonna do. They're gonna try
• 26:21
  Speaker 6: to bleed the clock. They're great on third down. It's
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: gonna it's gonna be a toughness game. Are we tough
• 26:27
  Speaker 6: enough to go toe to toe with these guys and
• 26:29
  Speaker 6: beat them?
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: And?
• 26:30
  Speaker 6: Uh, you know, Rutgers is so tough to is one
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: of those teams that they get the game in their tempo,
• 26:36
  Speaker 6: they keep it in their tempo and when teams are
• 26:38
  Speaker 6: good at getting it in to slow it down, grind
• 26:40
  Speaker 6: it out tempo. It's hard to it's hard to flip it.
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: It's easier to get it to slow down. There is
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: to speed it up unless you're just way better offensively.
• 26:47
  Speaker 6: And I think we got maybe some better weapons on
• 26:50
  Speaker 6: the edges. But but I just think this game is
• 26:53
  Speaker 6: gonna come down to toughness. And not to say that
• 26:55
  Speaker 6: we're not tough, but that scares me. That scares me
• 26:58
  Speaker 6: a lot.
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys have saw it. It gave for them
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: a couple of times. He's quicker and what you think
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: he can run the ball too?
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: He can.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: I'm curious how we will attack them offensively like I
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: have been. I guess every week we know they're going
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: to try to control time of possession. They're damn good
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: at it. Are we just going to try to go
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: right at them? Similarly, we have not proven really this
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: year that we can play that style of football running
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: mainly with our running backs. You know, obviously Ryola has
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: not been a running quarterback for us this year. Are
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: we going to try to match that and play with
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: that or are we going to try to counter that?
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: We know what could happen though if you counter that,
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: because if you go three and out and your defense
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: is out there for seven minutes trying to stop the run.
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: You know, we anticipate maybe they're being some more subbing.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Like you, you tire out by the time you get
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: to the third and fourth quarter. So can we can
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: our offense stay on the field enough to where we
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: give our defense some rests, and then can we keep
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: the ball and Dylan Ryle's hands as much as we
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: can without you know, going three and out. I think
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: that what we're gonna see is not tempo. We're not
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: gonna see a lot of fast paced offense. We're gonna
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: see winding the clock down. But I do think we
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: got to utilize our playmakers that we have at a
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: Dana Jeh, I'm on the opfensive side of the ball
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: that we've seen right now, we're still waiting for a
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: running back to break out from the pack like we
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: have been kind of all year. I thought maybe dal
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: Dell was that guy early on. Emmett looked good this
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: last week, so we're kind of waiting to see maybe
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: this is the game that one of them is. You
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: know what, No, I'm gonna I'm gonna make a couple
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: of twelve fifteen sixteen yard runs because man on guy,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: that's what he's best to doing. He knows how to
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: take six yard runs put him into twelve. A run
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: for one yard moves it to four, like Tony White
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: talks about that in his press conference. He's the best
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: at doing that. There's a reason why he's one of
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: the best running backs in the Big Ten. So, yeah,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I want to know how we're gonna counter it on
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: the opposive side because the tempo and the managing the
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: game we've seen it with some of these Big Ten teams.
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: Rutgers is gonna do it. I do agree. They're probably
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: gonna maybe use caliac Manus and some other things we
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: haven't seen, but for the most part, it's gonna be
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: try to control the game on Saturday afternoon. That like
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: he's a Jackson toughness.
• 29:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I couldn't agree with you more. I
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: think it's gonna be really interesting what we do.
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: But here's why.
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: Okay, So you hear the critics talk about how our
• 29:44
  Speaker 6: run game or lack or criticize our run game. To me,
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: sometimes I'm like, I don't know, because Ryle is our
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: best player. Okay, So not to make the Mahomes comparison.
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: But when when the Chiefs need to get going and
• 29:58
  Speaker 6: Mahomes hands it off, I go, like, put it in
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: Mahome's hands and let them go make a play. That's
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: what Ryola is doing for us right now. I know
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: that I'm not making a silly comparison here, but when
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: when Riola hands it off, that may not be our
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: best strategy. Our best strategy might be Riola making plays
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: because right now, that's that's saving our bacon. Don't don't.
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: Don't crosshairs on that. That's so that's a that's that's
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: exactly my thought. I said, well, how do we attack
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: these guys if we're going to try to grind it
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: out with them? But but that's not that that doesn't
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: necessarily play to our strengths and our best players, our quarterback,
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: you know, So that's good that that's that is a
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: tricky question.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I will. I think my biggest concern for us
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: offensively is you know, you talked about that second in
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: the nation in red zone, and then we just got
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: done dragging our special teams through the mud. You know,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: what's really good to have when a team's really good
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: in the red zone, a kicker that's going to put
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: the ball through the pipes. So that's a little bit
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: concerning where it's like, Okay, these guys are really good
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: at a short field. When you want to put a
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: kicker out there, you get stopped on third down and
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: we might get put in a position where we're just
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: gonna have to go for it on fourth down because
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: we don't trust our kickers out there. That's what worries me.
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: And I'll tell you this, it would be absolutely monumental
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: to get the lead. If we can get the lead,
• 31:16
  Speaker 6: if we can get a touchdown lead, and we can
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: be playing and every time our offense is out there,
• 31:20
  Speaker 6: it's either to go up by more or it's tied.
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: That is huge, so huge. We can get the dang lead.
• 31:27
  Speaker 6: Just get the lead and then you know their time
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: of possession and they're bleeded out. Grind it out, and
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: what we do on offense is not is not It's
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: still important, but it's not as not all that pressure
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: is on you. It's not as important. So get the
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: stinking lead.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: There's one factor we haven't talked about yet, and it's
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: gonna it's gonna factor in the temple and subs the
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: weather it's gonna be hot as.
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: Hell, how it is.
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't think you want to run temple
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: at all.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: And we have. We haven't shown much tempo yet this
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: Year's why we would. But I mean, I agree, it's
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: gonna be windy, too hot and windy for October night.
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: That's good for your kicking.
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: All right, Well, Dak, let's get to your picks here
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: as we close out the pod. You went eight and

• 33:01
  Speaker 3: half against Rutgers. This is my locker right here. Clemson
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: minus fourteen against Florida State. Florida State sucks ass by

  Speaker 3: Sam Houston against your boys, Utip minus ten.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: You do fifteen again?
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: Yep, what I was gonna ask you, what's up with
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the fifteen?
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: He's gotta keep it even. That's why he's the first.
• 33:46
  Speaker 6: No.
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: Second week you got.
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe if you shortened it throw and you know, gave
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: your maybe five to seven favorite ones, your record would
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: be a little better.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: Nope, you gotta do fifteen. The locks all that matters.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Everybody listens to put one hundred bucks on it and
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: if they lose. I didn't say it, Jackson said it.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Uh Survivor picks. We had some close calls this.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: Week, really freaking close.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: Austin had two of them. Yeah, with Boston College and
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: Miami of Ohio. I had the Miami of Ohio close call,
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: and then Dak tried to pick LSU two weeks in
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: a row. So on the pod through LSU out there,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I mixed that. He said give me the U, and
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: then Dak had to make a last minute phone call
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: to make sure the refs overturn that call on Friday
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: night to make sure he survives survivor pool.
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Yep, you know forgot I had the utail. Now, I
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: think that's a bullshit call. We can get in that
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: some other time. Virginia Tech won that game.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: But all right, Okay, my four this week that I took.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: I have Penn State against UCLA. Boy, Ucla, it's gonna
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: be rough for them the next few weeks. This week
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: especially Boise State. I have them against Utah States, Yukon,
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: I don't love it. Scares me. I have them against Temple.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I do think Temple is really bad. I don't think
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Yukon's very good either, but that one scares me. TCU
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: I also don't love it. I'm trying to stay a
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: little bit aggressive here and keep some of my big
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: teams for the end, but it might cost me at
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: TCU against Houston as my fourth one.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: I'm taking the same approach as you, trying to keep
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: all of my big ones for the end. I got
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Jacksonville State over Kenesas State, Bowling Green over Akron. I
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: also took Yukon over Temple, and then I got Norther
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: Nolla Way over U Mass. We're gonna go against U
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: Mass for the third time in six weeks, so they
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: almost burned me last week. One of these times they're
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: gonna get me.
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: All Right, you guys gotta start losing.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: I'm running out of teams that I'm gonna start picking
• 36:10

• 36:15
  Speaker 3: air Force, to Lane against you a bat and James
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: Massing and somebody did not put what they play.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: But they'll win Louisiana Monroe because I had that written down.
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Yes, that one scares the piss out of me. That's
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: that's when I was like.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: I'm calling it. You're losing it on air Force this week.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: Really, like I said, I've watched before we start, I said,
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: I've watched Navy all this whole year.
