• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Do you only say what I said last night?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: You say what you want? I'll be a lion, gonna
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: be a lion?
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Yep, I won't. I won't say that I said last
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: The whole world doesn't need to hear I said.
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: So the first thing that popped in your head was
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: you're gonna be a lion?
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yep.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: So I've been listening to Matt Rule talk.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: You know, be a lion, part of a lion? Are
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you guys? Big candy giver outers on Halloween?
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: Now that we're.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Adults, I try to be the last two years, but
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: candy zero trigger treaders. So moved new house, new location.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I hear the neighborhoods popping. So I bought one hundred
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: and sixty fruit snacks. So we only get one kid
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: that shows up. They're going to have a real good night.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: That's a dang good candy hanging their hand out.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I think, so, how you getting out?
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: I hope I have trick or treats in my place.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: It's my first year by myself. We'll see what happens.
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: I'm hoping you're in apartment complex.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and you're probably gonna give out one of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: your like fifteen bags of stale chips that you have.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: In your covers.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I do need to go get candy. We'll see
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: if there's an't left tomorrow back to work. If not,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I'm going to find something to hand out.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: Just take it out of your big white van park
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: in front of your place.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: I actually will hand out single chips if I have to.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Well, this is what we talk about when Nebraska has
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: a chance to go bowling on Saturday to get their
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: sixth to win of the year. I don't think anybody
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: thought it was coming last week, and we got very
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: very close to beating Ohio State, but we didn't. And
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: so now I would say our best chance, based off
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of metrics and win probabilities, is this upcoming week. But
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that's not to say we can't win the last three.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: But our best chance definitely is this week at home
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: against the Bruins, new to the Big Ten, new head coach.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: They are slowly playing better throughout the year. I would
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: say that's the general consensus, but they are still two
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: and five on the year and it's supposed to be
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit rainy on Saturday with Austin. Who does
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: that benefit do you think? I actually don't have an
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: opinion on it.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: If it does, I would probably say it benefits us
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: because it forces them to run and we stop the run.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, their head coach used to be the offensive
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: or it used to be the running backs coach when
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Chip Kelly was there. So in theory, you'd think they
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: have a decent running game. But I mean that's what
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: we stopped, Ohio stage run game. I mean, that's kind
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: of what we've been doing all year except against Indiana.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: So you kind of want to put them a situation
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: where they have to run and we can lean into
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: our strength.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I think I think it probably benefits them a little
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: more because they have to run the ball. Their quarterbacks
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: offul We'll get in them later, but I think benefits
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: them more because they have to run the ball. And yeah,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: well I don't know, I don't I don't know, but
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I really don't. It's supposedly wendy too, right.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's supposed to be windy like
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: it was yesterday here and then today we got all
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the rain that we haven't gotten in like the last
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: two months here in Nebraska. But the conditions are gonna
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: have an effect on the football games somehow, So I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: just not have that be the reason that we are
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: not going bowling. Here's the thing, this game needs to
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: be our national championship, because once you get this stupid.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Bowl eligibility off our shoulders.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Of the room, I think we take a big, deep,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: fresh breadth of air and we can move on with
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: our lives for the rest of the fall. And then
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: next year you don't win this game. And we talked
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: about it a little bit before Indiana, you just start
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: getting tighter and tighter and tighter, and you never know
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: what's going to happen, and we've seen it happen before.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: So this game, let's put all the eggs. And you
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: should be putting all your eggs into every game, but
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: this is the huge one, and let's not build up
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: pressure because of it. Let's win the week, take it
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: day by day, play by play on Saturday. Win the
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: game fourteen to seven, ten to seven. I don't care
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: what we have to do. It does not have to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: be pretty. Find a way to win the game, and
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: then we can all breathe and talk about.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: It's twenty fifteen. What like it's twenty fifteen. After the game,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: then I'd be.
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: Like, it's twenty fifteen, even twenty one.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I did just see Apparently UCLA everages like sixty four
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: point six rushing yards per game, which is the lowest
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: nationally by twelve yards. So a game where they have
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: to run the ball might be might be good for us.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: See, I was looking at the running back stats and
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: they were not high at all. Their offense. I don't
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: know what happen against Wreckers, but their offense is pretty bad.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: I many wrecords? Is that bad? But they blew up
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: in that game. I don't know what what happened that one.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Hopefully they didn't find anything.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Well, let's do UCLA. I guess first, mix it up
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: a little bit this week. Normally we go through some
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: of the key storylines around US. Here, let's start with UCLA.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Sim for rolling, Dak mentioned how much he just loves
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: their quarterback Ethan Garber's he's completing sixty.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Five percent of his passes on the year.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Again, they're two and five, So if we go back
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and look at their schedule here and look who they played.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Actually had a pretty tough schedule early on. Yeah, this Oregon,
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Penn State, that's pretty rough for four of their five games.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: So they started against Hawaii on the road, squeaked out
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a win there, and then yeah, Indiana when nobody really
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: knew what Indiana was, kind of got.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: Destroyed by them.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Played at LSU, got beat, played Oregon, got beat, played
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: at Penn State, got beat all by two to three scores,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: lost a close went against Minnesota, and then squeaked out
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: a win against Rutgers. So you're right, the schedules has
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: not been favorable. They are two and five, get their
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: first conference win against Ruggers, which.
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm thinking that maybe Rutgers has gotten worse since
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: we've played them, but maybe they just weren't that good
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: to begin with.
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: But yeah, they played some tough teams.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I think I saw something or heard something that UCLA
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Nebraska have to like the toughest schedules in the Big
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Ten from a metrics standpoint, So take that for when
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: it's worth. But it's a game that we're favored by
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: six and a half right now. I think the line
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: opened more than a touchdown. It squeezed down now to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: right below a touchdown at six and a half.
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: It's this a game that has.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: A win or a game total of forty one forty
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: one and a half, which is pretty low given our
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: past few games. I think that's basically where it's going
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to be. In my mind, it might even be lower
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: than that. So okay, let's get back to Ethan Garber's DAK.
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: Tell me everything you love about him.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Well, here's here's the first at I saw. He has
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: thrown a pick six and every game besides the game
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: against Wreckers, which that's just terrible.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I don't that's incredible, Like it's that's I don't think
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: the throw an interception every game, but they have it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: You returned to the house like what bad luck?
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta think something. I haven't. I've not gone
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: back and watched all of these garbs picks. I'll be honest,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: but you got you got thinks some of them were
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: just unlucky for pictics. You get bad bounce and goause
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: the other way.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: You don't have a pick six in every game with
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: with it just being poor play. I get the has
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: to bounce the wrong way.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but then so his stats are eight touchdowns and
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I picked on the ear that's with him going last
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: game again, I don't know what the heck happen against Wreckers.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys watched it, but he
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: went thirty two thirty eight, three hundred something yards and
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: three touchdowns, no picks. So his stat's and the other
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: games have been just terrible.
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: But the other games he was playing pretty good opponents.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they have see that. That was the one thing
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: about UCLA two I was gonna say, I think they
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: are way better than what people think just from the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: opponents they played. I mean, they've they've hung around with
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: these teams. I can't was it organ that got demolished by.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: And Indiana?
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but that if I remember, they hung around the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: Indiana game for for a while and then like going
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: for it.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: It wasn't fifty six to seven.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, true, I played that game.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: So UCLA's offensive yards per play right now, And okay,
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: from a stat perspective, you hear a lot of people
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: talk about this team ranks seventy fourth nationally, Like, what
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: does that mean? I do like that we're as a
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: society in college football transferring a little bit more to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: yards per play because I think points and scoring all
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: is very possession based, which given your tempo and what
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you run, it's hard to measure that across board. So
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: yards per play I think it's a really good set
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: to look at when you're talking about stats for offenses
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and defenses. So they have five point two offensive yards
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: per play, which is one hundred and eleventh nationally, and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: they're allowing five point six, which is seventy fourth nationally.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: So again, stat wise, their numbers aren't great. They're turnover
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: margin minus seven, which is one hundred and eighteenth. We've
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: seen that before. And their penalty yards is seventy one
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: point three, which is one hundred and twentieth in a nation.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: So it's not good so far from a stats perspective.
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: But again remember the schedule.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: They're head coaches newly, not newly, he is in first
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: year Harde coach of Sean Foster, Chip Kelly. I just
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: said Ohio State and Deshaun Foster had one of the
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: more memorable UH big ten media day press conferences when
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: he introduced himselves and basically had thought that nobody knew
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: where U c l A was. And he's like, we're
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: u c l A. We're from Los Angeles. Uh, it's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: kind of funny. So that's their head coach, and I
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: guess they're moving in the right direction.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Their offensive coordinator, Austin. I think we'll know what dak.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: Do you know who it is?
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: No, But I do want to say before the podcast,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: I was asked by the coach. I was serious about
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Jim Moore. I was off by a couple of coaches
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: for years.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: You know their offensive coordinator?
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Do what? Yeh? Don't give me about ten seconds here
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: the NFL.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: That's true, and he was very good in the NFL,
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: allegedly not too long ago.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: Give me the team who was your guests?
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Give me the team they won super bowls recently in
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: the NFL.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: You last coached for the Commander or he didn't play
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the Vikings? Oh boy, the last coach.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: For the class.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: He last coached on the Commanders. He wasn't the head
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: of a r G three.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: No, I don't. I don't know really, ye huh?
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: Proving people wrong? You know, trying to prove that Patrick
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Mahomes wasn't the reason for his success of Kansas City,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: so he flamed out and Washington and then moves to
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: be the O C for a team that Chip Kelly
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: abandoned to be an offensive coordinator.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: And the offense has been awful.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Until last week.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he found something out. I did not know
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: if that was there Sea Hunt.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Now, if you ask me who their defensive coordinator is,
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: no way am I getting that one here.
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: It is Malow.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: He was.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: The first year coordinator last year and they were fifteenth
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: nationally in scoring and defense.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: And now he's back in a second year.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: So we're not going to see a whole lot of
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: I'll call them playmakers. I guess they have a couple
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: of running backs that do some things for him, but
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: they're not a team that wants to run the ball
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: very much. They do want to throw it more than anything.
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, their leading rushers TJ. Harden, but he's averaged
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: under three yard to carry their rushing offense. Like you said,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Austin is one of the worst in the country.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: So until last week, until last week.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: So it does bode well for how our defense has
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: played for the most part this year up front. I
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: do think the team that is able to successfully use
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: the play action in their tight ends Fidoni hopefully, is
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: going to get an edge this game. I think that's
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a key because of the way the weather is gonna
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: be working out, and both teams are gonna be king
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: on the run more so than anything. Nebraska got their
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: run game going a little bit against Ohio State, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: UCLA strength of their defense is also stopping the run.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: So it makes it for an interesting matchup because of
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: the weather, what both teams want to do, and what
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: both teams are good at on the defense defensive side
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of the ball.
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: So that's my take.
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: I guess how offensively, I mean, maybe we can go
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: air it out and grow it forty times, but I
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: just don't think that's what we're gonna do, and I
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: don't think we should be doing that and brainy conditions.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: So I think we're gonna try to establish the run.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: I think UCLA is gonna established the run. I think
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: both teams are gonna.
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: Use play action.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: We might we'll see, well, let's let's ask this. Will
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: we see the screen pass and if so, how often?
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm you think? I think you're still gonna see it.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: You're probably not gonna see eleven of them or I
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: don't know. I don't think that the media's attention to
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: the screen pass is gonna make them not throw it,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: especially if it's rainy out. You're not gonna be looking
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: to throw a deep dumbfield.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: We're talking about a guy that has rocks for brains.
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: He's gonna he's gonna run fifteen screen pat like he's
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: he's I don't think he changes that thing.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you say that Dak. Did anybody listen to
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: Dylan Royola.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Dylan was. He's like, hey man, we're not executing.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: It's not Sad's fault basically. So yeah, but.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: Dylan came out and defend Sadderfield and basically tells everybody
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: they need to children, like.
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: In a roundabout way.
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: That's what he said, and I get it, Like everyone
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: can talk about that differently, but he didn't have to
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: say anything about it. He came out and really did
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: backup Sadderfield. I liked that mindset. I think Dylan wants
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: to be on a mission. I'll go back to it.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: He missed a couple of big throws in that game
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: against Ohio State that you make those that gives you
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: a lot better chance of winning that game. So I
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: think his mindset's still in the right place, and it'll
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: just be interesting to track that here from now until
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the end of the year. And I guess throughout his
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: time in Nebraska because he does. He has a very winner,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: championship like mentality, the way he talks, and yeah, he's
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: defending Sadderfield to people like are all over the board
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: on him, Dax.
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: Ready to fire.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Him last year. I will say with play calling, this
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: is tough. Play calling is one thing that just get
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: slammed over and over and everybody in the entire country,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: every Husker fan thinks that they can call the plays
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: better than the offensive coordinator. If Benson's I can remember.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: So what's fun is what would you run like if
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: they if you want to bash it, then you tell
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: me what would you Because here's the thing. Calling plays,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: you have, you have a game plan, you have a
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: you're kind of playing chess a little bit. Sometimes you're
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: setting things up to get other things to work. Yeah,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: and sometimes that does look miserably bad. And Saderfield does
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: not have a good reputation. But what in your guys' minds,
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: like what would you do as the offensive coordinator, like
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: with the players that we have, with the system that
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: you have, with your identity, like what are you doing?
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: That's that's the question to ask what would you change?
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: And don't just tell me stop theiring screen passes? Like
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: what else are you running?
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: I said, I don't have an issue as screen passes,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: but when it's third and eight and it's your tenth
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: point of the game and you've gone a total of
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: twenty yards running, no, it's not working that game. That
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: was my frustration. I don't I like screen passes bena
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: high efficiency, but when the whole game it's proven that
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: you can't have any success with it, you gotta try
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: something else.
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: And what you don't know is maybe this is what
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: I said, or what actually Jackson who's been on the podcast,
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: what he said. You never know if these screen passes
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: are always to set up for some of these deeper
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: balls that we just missed, Like, you don't know if
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: that's all part of the scheme.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: You don't.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: You wouldn't think eleven times it is.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: But I'm a big I'm a big number screen pass
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: type of guy. Obviously to make it work, though, you
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: have to be efficient to effect in your perimeter blocking,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: which we have not been and we've shown not to be.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: And some of the players have been worse than others
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: out there, but then you throw in some of the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: better players, then you're pretty predictable. So there's just so
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: much going on when it comes to play calling, and
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: everybody thinks they have the solution until you ask them
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: what the solution is, and then you start talking in
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: circles because it's it's tough, it's it is difficult. So
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: I will always defend play callers to a certain extent.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Now when it comes to maybe a specific like third
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: and short from the you know, third and one and
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you're in the shotgun, like, I have an issue with that.
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: But when it comes to just generally calling a game
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: from start to finish and what you think will work
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: and doesn't work, I tend to side with the coordinators
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: more so than anything. And I'm waiting for you to
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: like jump in and try to like argue with me
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: on this, but I think I'll just shut you up
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: because you have nothing.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: There's one play and I'll give you, guys a guess
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: at that. I wanted to run, Yes, the love of God,
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: run that and all shut up about that for the
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: rest of the year if they finally runs it.
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: But you don't have a counter argument, I don't. I don't,
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: and so Dak.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I'll speak the counter argument for you because I've heard
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the other side to the counter argument is that Sadderfield
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: has never proven himself to be a good play caller
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: anywhere he's been, and that South Carolina didn't want him
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: and we had to hire we were paying them way
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: more than we should be to call plays. Like that's
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: the counter argument is is he's never proven himself, And
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: that might be fair point because he hasn't. But I
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: also don't think it's just fair enough to give him
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: a chance. But but I will say, if things don't
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: get better, yeah, you're you're probably looking at a different
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: option because a coordinator position is easier to replace in
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the head coach position from a continuity standpoint, And then
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: if you even want to go further down and look
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: at position coaches. I'm not saying it pointing anybody out
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: in particular, but like, I think there's things that can
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: get moved around if we don't see progress now a
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: lot of state can we agree we saw progress.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Now it was some like, yeah, it was.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: It didn't take much to see progress from what our
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: offense was the first six games, but we did see some.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd agree. I'd say definitely say we saw some progress.
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: I mean you look at the I said, we're not
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: firing anyone yet. I know Dak wants to clean house
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: the offensive side. Who would you even keep on the
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: offensive side? Oh, I Ron Brown can't.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know any other offensive coaches, but I would
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: keep your O line coach.
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: Garrett is not Garrett McGuire. What's McGuire? It is Garret McGuire.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Isn't it wide receivers like the twenty five year old?
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would keep it. I would I keep everybody
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: besides Sadderfield. I think maybe your tight end coach Ifield.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure isn't centerfield the tight end coach right now?
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Well, there you go, see you So we had that
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: one on the head. I know, but yeah, I don't.
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: I think you're a line I'm sure keep your on
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: line coach. I think they've improved a lot of two years.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: You know Rayola's uncle.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: Yep, I'll keep paying me and wire severer coach. I
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: don't think why seever? Is that good? Mike skill wise?
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Interesting?
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: So why I guess on offense? Wrap offense up here?
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: What what are our keys here for this week?
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: Bet the under and I think limit turnovers and controlled
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: time and possession. I think it's gonna be a low
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: scoring game, and the more possessions you have, better off
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: you're gonna be.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: You're gonna you're gonna to establish a run for sure.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Again, do we establish a run and air it out?
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Yes? You so what you do is established the run
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: the let reil aired out? No? No, I I just
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: said out Saderfield's game plans for the same I would do.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: I would do the same game think you did as
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: a hot state, not on the dot, not on the dot,
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: not lemon screens. But I think that was the best
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: the bests can look.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: The best os looks in tweak one.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: But I need I need a mute button for Dak
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: like around the horn, like when he just starts like
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: talking out of both sides of his mouth, like stop, I.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: Didn't get a hundred points there.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, here's people from around the horn, mister opportunity.
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: I need, I need the need the woody page. Yeah,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: the kboard quote in the background.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Uh, I want Dylan Ryola to show that he can
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: run the ball two weeks in a row. I don't
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: want that to be a fluke thing. The comments about
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: it by Sadderfield were weird. The comments about it by
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: Dylan were weird. I made it sound like that it
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: wasn't even talked about like before the game, which is
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: just odd to me.
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: Like Dylan just said, I'm gonna do this.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Because I think I can do it, Like I don't
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: even want to think about that because it makes me
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: uncomfortable with how like why why was that a thing
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: the first half of the season, But I want to
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: see him do it again, like it was effective and
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: if you do it again, teams really have to start
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: preparing for it.
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: You can.
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: You know UCLA is thinking about it right there. So
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: all right, Dylan showed he can run a little bit.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: How you know if he starts doing this, how are
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: we countering that. That's what I want to see out
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: of our offense specifically, is not saying designed runs, but
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: just at elusiveness again from Ryola two weeks in a row.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: That adds another element to our offense, and I do
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it. I want to see screen passes work,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: and I think that's a good game to do it
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: on and scheme with the right guys to get them
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: to be effective. I think that's a very effective play
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: in my mind. Just again, when I would run for
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: an offense, it would involve a lot of you know,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: count the numbers screenplays and may not man find the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: blocks and make the play.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: But you have to execute it for it to be effective.
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: So that's my big thing offensively, got to do it again,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: have to be consistent and do it again.
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: What we saw the step forward.
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: I can already we would just be sick to our stomach.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: We hopped on this pot on Sunday after losing to UCLA.
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh. I know it's totally possible.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: We've done it before, but you just hate.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: To be like, oh man, Indiana was a fluke and
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: then come out play really well against number four Ohio
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: State and then just drop the ball against u claugh.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Would you guys, would you guys be more I think
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: you guys are for sure. Hunter was sad after Indiana.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Would you guys be more sad after the If you
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: lost the UCLA let's stay by ten then after the
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: Indiana game, Pod.
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: I'd probably be more sad less disgusted. I was disgusted
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: after the Indiana game.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: I didn't feel anything.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: It's probably because you were sitting out in the forty
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: degree weather. What you're sitting outdoors in the rain the pod.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh on the Monday, Yeah, I was gonna Like
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: after the game, the Indiana game, I did not feel
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: emotion for like twenty four hours.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: I think that's how I felt.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: I will say losing by now, if we get beat
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: at home by UCLA forty two.
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: To ten, everything's on the table.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: I really don't know, but I will say, like this game,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: we've seen it all right, as Oscar fans, at least
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: we think we have, so let's fine when not in
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: convincing fashion. So that's why I think the goal is here. Okay,
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: defenses the ball.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: Again?
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: Can we do it again? That's like my line of
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the week. Can our defensive line once again play well
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: like we have for a majority of the year, but
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: be consistent upfront? And we saw that again against Ohio
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: State did a really good job of getting pressure and
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: we were not giving.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: Will Howard anytime to hit his playmaker wide receivers.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: UCLA has given up I had it pulled up twenty
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: some sacks on the year, twenty three I think sacks
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: in the year. We need to take advantage of that
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: and force turnovers. Like Austin said early on, Obviously, offense,
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: let's not turn it over, but defensively, let's force turnovers.
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: Let's win the turnover margin.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: We're doing a good job of that this year as
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: a team, Like we're not talking about it in a
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: negative way. Huge this game that might be a deciding
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: factor on the outcome given the condition. So like defensive
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: lineups do it again, that's gonna be huge. To stop
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: the run early, get the crowd behind us to show nope,
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: this is the defense that we want to rally behind.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: That's the biggest thing for me, especially early.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree, and I don't you know, I admittedly
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: have not watched a single U c l A game either.
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: Forget they're in the Big ten half the time. What
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: game this is off subject? Usc Who did they play
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: last week where the game got over at like one am?
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Mhm, Hell have I know? I wasn't.
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: All I know is that ridiculous?
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Oh? They played? They played Rutgers, didn't they Yeah.
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: L yes, yeah, so like it was lital been like
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: three am them like Rutgers time yep or whatever. Yeah,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: way too late. Yes, I don't know if that. You know,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: you look at the sacks and the rushing numbers, if
• 31:12
  Speaker 3: that's just a product with them having a bad offensive line. Again,
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: have not watched a single UCLA snap. I suspect you know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: if you've given up twenty sacks and you're only averaging
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: two and a half yards to carry your O lines
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: not great, which I hope plays in really well to
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: our D line being arguably the strength of our whole team. Yeah,
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: I agree, Just stuff the run. Make you think. Garber
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: beat you with his arm. He cooked Rutgers last week
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: with it. But he also had a little bit of
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: a comment run game with one hundred yard rusher. So yeah,
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: you want to turnover, You want to increase, you want
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: to increase your possessions and control the ball. So keep
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: them out on short three and outs and get turnovers
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: and I think we win. I really you.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: You want to well their offense, the run game in
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: passing so bad. On which one you want to do?
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: You probably you want them to throw the ball, because
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: if they run the ball, yeah, if it's raining, if
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: they run the ball, they can control the clock and
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: throw the game better. You want to if for turn
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: mu to stack the box, make them throw the ball
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: at Garber and hope the other pick six on them.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: You're shooting for and give up less than seventeen points
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: of this team, I think, I think that's and that's
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: pretty good goal. I think I think I would be
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: shocked if they score more in seventeen this game.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: I said, Really, the only you're worried about Kegan Jones
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: probably and that's about it. Their tight ends, maybe Maliki
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: of Ao. I mean, those are really their two offensive weapons.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: And even then you're not you're not scared of them.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, Rico Flores is a Logan Loya, a couple
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: of their wide receivers that have shown to have some explosiveness.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I agree, it's not like we're playing
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: Ohio State with all this talent. So that the biggest thing,
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: and this is the whole talk, and I think it's
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: something that doesn't get talked about enough, but it's a reality.
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: Is the mindset of the players going into.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: A game and getting them I say, going into the
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: game from a whole week standpoint, your preparation, how you practice,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: and then when it actually gets time to the game,
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: like where's their head at? That's coaching one oh one
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: to begin with, and I feel like that's something that
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: really good coaches know how to control. This team is
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: not the same talented level of team we played as
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Ohio State. We played Ohio State with nothing to lose.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: We played free, we played loose, We played schematically like
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: all right, well we're gonna try this doesn't work.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: It's because they have better talented players.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: Well guess what when you kind of go out and
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: play loose and you're not overthinking everything from a play
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: calling standpoint, but also then from an execution standpoint, things
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: start to work and click.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: So I think that's the the.
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: Mindset that we have to get instilled in a game
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: like this, like not know, we're better than this team,
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: so we're going to go out and if we just
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: play well, we're going to win. And that's not the
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: right mindset to have. That's what we try to do
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: against Indiana, and look what happened. I think we have
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: to go into the game thinking, no, this is like
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Ohio State, this is our super Bowl.
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: This is our national championship.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Let's do everything we can to treat these guys like
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: they are the best team ever, and let's go out
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: and kick their butt.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: I agree, destroy them. That'd be great, a blowout for
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: bowl eligibility.
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Now on the flip side, how about it. You gonna be
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: sweating after if they lose the UCLA making a bowl game.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: Uh, you're sweating.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: The pressure is We'll talk about that Sunday.
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, pressure does. It starts to build up a little
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: bit and the opponents get a little bit better.
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: Ah, we'll wait.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: Last thing I want to see, can we do it again?
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: It was weird last week. We all said it just
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: out of the blue, out of nowhere. John Hole comes
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: in and drills three field goals. Not sure how that happened,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: but it did. Now the conditions are going to be different.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: It's not just been him missing kicks. It's been our hole,
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: it's been our snap, It's been a lot of things.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Let's not make the weather an excuse. If we're given
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: the opportunity to kick, let's take advantage of it and
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: make the kick.
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: Let's do it again.
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Let's be consistent week after a week. Let's not have
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: these roller coasters like we've had the past few weeks
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: and leave us all confused. Maybe that we should get
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: used to it. But the more consistent we can be,
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: the better. That's the last thing that like I'm watching
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: is you know, if it is we're down and we
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: have a thirty seven yard field goal, and let's say
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: the ball is a little slick, Like, what are we doing?
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Are we now just all confident that role can make these?
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: Like because he drilled three of them? I don't know,
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: Like I you said that a week ago, you just
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: said we're not even gonna attempt to kick this game
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: at all because we haven't shown we can make one
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: in dry conditions, let alone this, And.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Now we've made three. Are we gonna go out and
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: try to attempt a forty eight yarder?
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: I like that's fascinating to me.
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't, but maybe we want. I don't know, Like
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: that's that's a big question mark here.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: Is in a game like this, I think we'll still
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: I think we're gonna I think Rule is gonna ride
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: that the confidence of last week, and I think he's
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: gonna put them out there for anything within like fifty I.
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: Really need conditions like that's what's hard.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't think that you Yeah,
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: and you aren't confident in him making making any kick
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: yet still undercent nervous about it now. I've seen it
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: back back weeks and even though, Okay, this guy's actually
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: figured it out, but I don't know. I feel like
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: he's kicking. That game could have been a fluke, like
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: UCLA's game against Rutgers was a fluke.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: True. Uh, before we do score predictions, I have an issue.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Why haven't we gotten our chasing?
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: It?
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Pisces me off that we don't do chasing three episodes
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: after a loss, Like what a cowardly freaking move. You
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: gotta show the upside the downs man.
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: So we haven't done one haavily since Ruggers.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: We have not, not since we lost Indiana and when
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: we lost to Illinois they lumped it in with the
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Rutgers one. Mmm, I'm not. I'm not impressed, so I don't.
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I don't watch those very I will
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: see like highlights and clips of it on Twitter, but
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not like watching the episode.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: I'm start to finish.
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, I'm not upset that they haven't put any episodes.
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: I'm upset that they don't do it after a loss.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: How I've always wondered this, How integrated is the decision
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: making and the videography and all of that with the
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: coaching staff, Like it's hard to know.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, they blur stuff out, so I'm assuming the
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: coaching staff watches the whole thing and approves it.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: And approves it right, But is a coaching staff, Like
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: I'm sure they're not saying, hey, we should be posting
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: stuff after wins or after losses. It's probably whoever the
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: team is that's doing it, like deciding that. But I agree,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, like that sucks, I guess.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: I mean it does.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Like what you want to build a winning culture and
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: a mindset, and that's the impression you're given off that
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: you know you.
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: Lose and up let's hide that.
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: That's not sure that versus the lessons learned from it.
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: I agree that that is a little bit.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: You know, they keep talking about oh man, like last week,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: Oh it was the hardest week. They were all geared
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: up all week. I don't fucking know. You show me
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: a single clip, you know.
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: Social media, social media and some things like that are
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: a problem just in general.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: I've always said that it's nice.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: To have, but I have zero clu what chasing three is, Like,
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: absolutely no clue.
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: It's like the YouTube videos that they've been putting out.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you.
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: Hey, you guys want a genius is a little bit
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: off topic, but a genius with technology and social media
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: and all that, a genius.
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Uh? Call it?
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: Like a day at Memorial Stadium or Pinnacle Bank are
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: now or at a Celtics game is a no phone day,
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Like I think that. I think that would get a
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: lot of traction. Like this game you cannot use your
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: phones at all, and all you're focused on is cheering
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: as loud as you can for the whole game awesome,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: and interacting with everybody around you, like enjoying that moment
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: to the point where like if someone has their phone
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: now you're just like shaming them, like put it away,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: like now there's emergencies.
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think they're I think it would work
• 40:18
  Speaker 3: better at basketball volleyball just because it's a quicker paced
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: game football there's so much downtime. Yeah, I think that's
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: an excuse. I think it's an excuse.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: I would if you I think it'd be very effective
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: in a football game, just to show that you know,
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: people like we can enjoy the game.
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: Now talking to Hunter, I don't. I don't even have
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: a smurphone have been this is what.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I do say that sometimes I'm jealousy Austin Priming flip
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: phone like IM, it's gotta be awesome. So like most
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: of the time, I don't Twitter if I can live without,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: but everything else I could.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: It is pretty nice until you get lost or you need,
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: you know, like anymore. Now you have to use your
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: QR codes. You have to use a map if I
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: get lost either usually like I have an ant lias
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: or I have to phone a friend and be like, hey,
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: I'm at well marker four thirty one on Highway seventy four.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: I think I missed my turn.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm joking. I can live out of iPhone out.
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: That you wouldn't make it a day.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: I could make it a day without my phone.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: I don't believe it, just like you could make it
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: a half marathon on Sunday.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, Dak you said you had a question for
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: us at the beginning of the podcast.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, is this a must win or can't lose game?
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: For the US and the same thing.
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: No, I think they're different.
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: What is it?
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: I think of the same thing.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: You've asked me this before, and they're the exact same thing.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: They mean the exact same thing.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: In my mind.
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: I feel like can't lose implies that your favorite to
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: win and you lost the game, like you you should
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: have won this game. Must win is yeah, you might
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: not win this game, but you need to win this game.
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: I feel like the Yankees Dodgers game, that was a
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: must win for the Yankees.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: Well, because if you can't lose and they're done, like.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: That's the whole That one's a little different.
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: Well, your logic sometimes you can't lose.
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: It's definitely can't lose.
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: Okay. Score predictions.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: We know it's going to rain, and we know we're
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: gonna want on the ball. I'm gonna go twenty to
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: ten Nebraska.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Give me fourteen to seven, Nebraska. Just muck it up, Yeah,
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: muck it up, fourteen seven.
• 43:21
  Speaker 6: Win the game, gonna be ugly. I'll go here comes
• 43:28
  Speaker 6: a high score. I'll go twenty one ten Nebraska. I
• 43:35
  Speaker 6: said thirty one ten. What do you think thirty minutes ago?
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: Now it's twenty one ten, Nebraska SMA.
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: It'll be eleven.
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: After talking through it a little bit more, I'm down
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: twenty one ten. I think, you see, LA is better
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: than what people think.
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: And with that line dropping from nine, I don't know
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: if it was ever nine a half. I heard it
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: was nine and half on Sunday to say and half.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: Now I think it opened at nine and a half.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now it's dropped three points. So that's a lot
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: of there's a lot of mighty going on Ucla and
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: a half.
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: Insane for an offense that doesn't score twenty points a game.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but well that is their offense can be able
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: to score ten.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: They looked real good against Ruggers and we did not.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Who's whose offense would just I mean, I guess they
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: just played. It's better Rugers or UCLA's. Let's se proy UCLA's.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: I'd say, you cels.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: That's what's hard about thirty five to Ruggers, Right, that's
• 44:39
  Speaker 1: also true. That's it's just so hard like this year especially,
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: it's so hard to compare team to team on scores
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: and what they did is no none of that has
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: proven to be right, or very little of it has.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: So that's why it's so important just to take it
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: week by week and and just say, okay, this is
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: this is the super Bowl. Said that like four times now.
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: But that's what this group needs to think of it
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: as this week to get a win. So okay, Oh,
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: by the way, the game is not on.
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: ESPN Plus on my background?
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: What is on Fox?

• 45:30
  Speaker 1: ESPN Plus to find the game.
