Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Racky-dacky Wednesday here. Another big week. This was a stretch
- 0:07Speaker 1: where Nebraska fans thought, oh, there's no shot this coming
- 0:11Speaker 1: in the year. There's no shot that Nebraska won any
- 0:13Speaker 1: of these two games. And now, as we get to
- 0:17Speaker 1: the midway point of the season, which that's crazy. It's
- 0:20Speaker 1: crazy how fast Orange College football gets here. You just
- 0:22Speaker 1: can't wait until it gets here all the time. How
- 0:24Speaker 1: quickly it goes. It seems like it flies. But anyway. Wait.
- 0:30Speaker 1: where we're at in the season now, um, this team
- 0:35Speaker 1: feels different. And the fact that we can beat all
- 0:39Speaker 1: these good teams and we come in confident that we
- 0:42Speaker 1: will be like, or at least we can hang with them,
- 0:45Speaker 1: especially after how we looked against Indiana. Um, I don't
- 0:49Speaker 1: think there's a team out there that we cannot hang
- 0:54Speaker 1: with anymore. Um, Now here's the other part of it.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Oregon has looked not as good as what everyone thought
- 1:05Speaker 1: coming into the season either. I picked them to be
- 1:07Speaker 1: national champions. A lot of people did too. The talent
- 1:10Speaker 1: they have on that team is insane. Their defensive line
- 1:13Speaker 1: especially is scary. Talent everywhere. I don't know what's all
- 1:18Speaker 1: happening there. It's been a lot of Dante Moore got hurt.
- 1:25Speaker 1: And Dylan Arlo just has not been out there. Speaking
- 1:27Speaker 1: of that, how about Dylan Ryola going and just absolutely
- 1:32Speaker 1: sucking ass at Oregon and getting benched. And then we
- 1:36Speaker 1: get this guy Calandria in, and everyone's like, eh, is
- 1:38Speaker 1: he this, this, this, that, that. His athletic ability is
- 1:43Speaker 1: just insane compared to Ryola. It's crazy how when you
- 1:46Speaker 1: have a quarterback that can move, how much better he
- 1:49Speaker 1: makes this O-line look. I don't think this O-line's been
- 1:52Speaker 1: fantastic this season, but Calandria's ability to get out there
- 1:55Speaker 1: and move around in the pocket, extend plays... Makes your
- 2:01Speaker 1: O-line look so much better. When Raiola just sat back
- 2:05Speaker 1: there and can't move, it puts so much more pressure
- 2:09Speaker 1: on your O-line. Because if anyone gets around the edges,
- 2:13Speaker 1: especially the corner, they collapse on him, he's going to
- 2:16Speaker 1: get sacked. Because I'll tell you what, a good 29-hour gust,
- 2:21Speaker 1: Dylan Raiola's falling. I saw many, many passes last week
- 2:25Speaker 1: where he was just throwing off his back foot. One
- 2:26Speaker 1: was the worst throw pick in a long time. Anyway,
- 2:29Speaker 1: I'm completely on Dylan Raiola. By the way, There's a
- 2:32Speaker 1: guy Saturday morning on ESPN before that Oregon game saying
- 2:37Speaker 1: how good Dylan Earl is, blah, blah, blah, blah. How
- 2:39Speaker 1: he's giving me a top ten pick in the NFL. Well,
- 2:41Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, that guy probably doesn't have a
- 2:44Speaker 1: job anymore. I don't know where he went. He probably
- 2:46Speaker 1: stayed away. Anyway, the big question this week is will
- 2:53Speaker 1: he or won't he play Dante Moore? I think that's
- 2:57Speaker 1: obviously huge. I think that guy is a stud. and
- 3:01Speaker 1: that's going to change the game a lot if he
- 3:03Speaker 1: plays or if he doesn't. I personally think he will
- 3:07Speaker 1: be back. It's been three weeks since he had a
- 3:08Speaker 1: huge hit, got a concussion. I think obviously all Husker
- 3:14Speaker 1: fans want Riello to play. I think even if Dante
- 3:16Speaker 1: Moore doesn't play, Riello will not play because that third
- 3:20Speaker 1: string came in against UCLA, and I think he's a
- 3:21Speaker 1: stud too. He bound Riello for that second string, and
- 3:25Speaker 1: I think Riello's third string, by now he can play
- 3:27Speaker 1: the rest of the year no matter what. Now, since
- 3:33Speaker 1: we're at the midway point, I'm going to name a
- 3:35Speaker 1: couple things I'm impressed with so far and that I'm
- 3:41Speaker 1: more impressed with now than I was coming into the season,
- 3:45Speaker 1: like what I was worried about and what I'm not
- 3:47Speaker 1: impressed with or what hasn't looked good. The defensive line,
- 3:51Speaker 1: I think, has exceeded expectations beyond belief. They have been fantastic,
- 3:56Speaker 1: especially when they did against Indiana, stopping that run. Oh,
- 4:00Speaker 1: that was amazing. That will make your hair grow on
- 4:03Speaker 1: your arm. It may make you feel a little something.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Just fantastic defense. I would say almost defensive general. The
- 4:11Speaker 1: only problem with this defense is we've gotten killed in
- 4:13Speaker 1: these freaking slants. Ohio, first play of the year was
- 4:17Speaker 1: a sign right there. And they did against us right there.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Everyone remembers that. That killed us. But defensive general, I've
- 4:25Speaker 1: been impressed with. I've been thinking more and more about
- 4:27Speaker 1: the Indiana game defensive-wise. You cannot be pissed about them
- 4:31Speaker 1: at all. They played their ass off that game. Our
- 4:34Speaker 1: offense put them in some tough spots. Not extending drives,
- 4:41Speaker 1: not scoring touchdowns. That was big. Now, what I am
- 4:48Speaker 1: not impressed with at all this season is our freaking kickings.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Can we find a goddamn kicker? If anyone at UNL
- 4:54Speaker 1: is out there, just start kicking balls in the student union,
- 4:56Speaker 1: and hopefully someone will come out there and notice that
- 4:59Speaker 1: this guy can kick, and you'll be a new kicker.
- 5:01Speaker 1: This kicker, get him off the team. You cannot shank
- 5:05Speaker 1: that kick like you did against Indiana. That was huge.
- 5:07Speaker 1: I know it was three points at the end of
- 5:08Speaker 1: the score, but that's here and over there. But, dude,
- 5:12Speaker 1: you didn't even– it wasn't even close, that kick. Terrible.
- 5:17Speaker 1: Horrible kick. I was starting to– Love this before the
- 5:23Speaker 1: Indy game. Starting to wonder about Archie Wilson, how good
- 5:27Speaker 1: he was. He played, speaking of that, that guy's up
- 5:30Speaker 1: there with top three players most impressive in the Indy game.
- 5:32Speaker 1: That guy had a fantastic game. Shout out to you,
- 5:34Speaker 1: Archie Wilson. I know you're listening. Great game by you
- 5:37Speaker 1: against Indiana. All right, there's one more game I want
- 5:39Speaker 1: to mention here. Texas, Oklahoma. Texas was ranked number one.
- 5:46Speaker 1: Supposed to be best team in the nation. Fell to
- 5:48Speaker 1: an unranked Oklahoma team in the Red River rivalry. I'll
- 5:51Speaker 1: tell you one thing, Arch Manning, I've said this before.
- 5:53Speaker 1: He actually does suck. Like, I am not. That's no
- 5:56Speaker 1: hate right there. Nothing. This guy sucks. Whatever NFL team
- 6:00Speaker 1: is out there that takes him, you're going to regret
- 6:02Speaker 1: that pick. This guy is terrible. I think if his
- 6:05Speaker 1: last name was not Manning, he'd be benched by now,
- 6:08Speaker 1: which I've heard their backup is very good, too, which
- 6:11Speaker 1: everyone loves the backup, so we'll see about that. But
- 6:13Speaker 1: you know what? If I'm Texas, keep rolling with Arch Manning.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Roll him out there because he sucks, and you're going
- 6:18Speaker 1: to continue to lose. You'll never win nothing with him.
- 6:19Speaker 1: And Steve Sarkeesian is a pussy. do not win these
- 6:23Speaker 1: big games at all, he's, keep him too, because this guy,
- 6:26Speaker 1: this guy sucks, dude, Sarkeesian sucks, Arch Manning sucks, Texas
- 6:30Speaker 1: can be in the same boat every year, top 15,
- 6:32Speaker 1: top 15, oh, we're gonna win everything, blah, blah, blah, yeah,
- 6:34Speaker 1: you know what, you ain't gonna win shit again with
- 6:37Speaker 1: these two, all right, now, my pick of the week,
- 6:40Speaker 1: I'm three and three, I went the over Nebraska Indiana game,
- 6:42Speaker 1: that wasn't even close, because of Nebraska defense, how about that,
- 6:46Speaker 1: go big red, um, I love Mississippi State plus 14
- 6:51Speaker 1: against LSU. LSU has actually surprised me this year. I
- 6:53Speaker 1: thought they were going to be really good this year.
- 6:56Speaker 1: They have not done anything. Last week, they lost Kentucky.
- 7:00Speaker 1: Speaking of that, Kenny Minchie was the guy that was
- 7:03Speaker 1: supposed to be here over Calandria. He has looked pretty
- 7:06Speaker 1: good at Kentucky, too. So either quarterback I think we
- 7:08Speaker 1: would have got would have worked out. But, man, we
- 7:10Speaker 1: all love Calandria. Mississippi State plus 14. They have a
- 7:13Speaker 1: great freshman, Kamaru Taylor. Take that. Take that and run
- 7:17Speaker 1: with it. All right. Before I go, Vikings are probably
- 7:21Speaker 1: going to win 0. Kyler Murray, we might have a
- 7:24Speaker 1: quarterback here. We will see. But you know what? I'll
- 7:28Speaker 1: say it. Nebraska is going to win this game. 35-31.
- 7:38Speaker 1: This is saying Dante Moore is going to play. 35-0.
- 7:39Speaker 1: All right. Go Big Red.
