  [SPEAKER_01]: You're listening to the Central Indiana Sports Report College Football Report Weekend Reaction with Michelle Gomez.
• 0:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: Welcome college football fans to the Central Indiana Sports Report reaction to the college football weekend with my sidekick on the podcast Michelle Garmin she like most sports fans across the country spent the day watching college football and I wanted to get her reaction from what happened and
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Michelle, what happened was four of the top Tim teams in the country lost of those teams, Texas, Notre Dame, Clemson, and Alabama, which team you have most faith will rebound and be in the playoffs, which team do you think this is just a sign of things to come?
• 1:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I'm going to go with the second one first.
• 1:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think Alabama, this is just the sign of things to come.
• 1:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I think that's a program that is really falling off in a lot of ways.
• 1:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not so sure that a little bit of the writing wasn't on the wall that would fall off a little bit with especially concerned, you know, because with savings, we don't know what Nick Saban felt.
• 1:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he says it was the changing landscape.
• 1:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I believe in because he with NIL, other teams, other conferences, we're going to get better.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't going to be as easy for an Alabama to be, you know, have four and five stars at one position, depth wise.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's just the reality of it.
• 1:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would be very shocked if they make their way into the playoff race.
• 1:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: For Texas, it's going to be kind of hard just because they have one loss, but it's not a conference loss.
• 1:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: If they go and only lose once in the SEC and win the SEC,
• 2:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: They could easily be back in the playoff.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they have a really good defense.
• 2:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: They probably need to run the football more.
• 2:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know Archbany's stats weren't what people had hyped him up to be, but I don't know if he was as good.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if he's as good as he was ever hyped to be or how much of his high-passed death is last night.
• 2:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: Come on, we don't judge it against the best defensive back here.
• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_01]: Well, that's why I was getting ready this fall this year and maybe in a long time.
• 2:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's hard to judge it against the highest, especially on the road.
• 2:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: It would have been a more interesting game down in Austin than at the shoe because the shoe is a very tough road environment.
• 2:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's one of the toughest places to go play, kind of like Death Valley.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a big advantage for Ohio State to play at home.
• 2:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: By the same token, I know that was a, that's a, that's a big win for Ohio State.
• 2:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm kind of anxious to see how they are going forward.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: The defense was very good.
• 2:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know they have a lot of people in the US map, Patricia coming in there, but the thing is this to we don't have a lot of it.
• 3:06
  [SPEAKER_01]: The offense was not very good.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, that's just it.
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, and you don't have a lot of film meters.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: People teams are going to get more film a little bit on Ohio State.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a good win for them.
• 3:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Also, be honest, I was wrong.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I picked Texas.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought Texas would win.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought their offense might be a little farther ahead than Texas isn't.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm fine with the highest state winning.
• 3:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love watching the Big Ten beat the SEC and I love watching the SEC proving to be it's all hype because all of these media people just think because the SEC was such a huge dominant conference for years that it stays that way and nothing stays the same forever.
• 3:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought Ohio State was impressive.
• 3:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm still not sure on Clemson.
• 3:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know LSU is
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty good.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: It'll still be interesting to see.
• 4:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Tell me huge favorites in the ACC.
• 4:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: But there are some other good teams in the ACCS and use pretty good levels, pretty good.
• 4:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: There are some other good teams in the ACC, so.
• 4:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Can't forget, you won't find out the bell check effect tonight when they host DCU.
• 4:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's going to bring a different kind of element to the ACC.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: You can make an argument.
• 4:22
  [SPEAKER_01]: He's the greatest coach in the history of football, and that comes with some weight.
• 4:27
  [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm guessing that it won't have any effect on the ACC race.
• 4:32
  [SPEAKER_01]: Bell bell check, at least this year.
• 4:34
  [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.
• 4:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, because you don't know, because you're dealing with different types of athletes, you know, at different levels.
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's, you know, be interesting.
• 4:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love the college football is back.
• 4:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: And of course, Notre Dame lost a tough one on the road in Miami.
• 4:48
  [SPEAKER_01]: Come back, fell short, and they have another tough one coming up this week.
• 4:52
  [SPEAKER_01]: Can the Irish rebound and get to the playoffs.
• 4:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And at one point said that I could see them losing three games and it would be a disappointing year.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they'll come back.
• 5:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm gonna, what I want to, my takeaway, what I want to say about that first about the Miami Notre Dame game was, I think that that CJ Daniels catch, maybe the best catch of the year, the best catch of the year.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I touched down catch with them.
• 5:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was great.
• 5:24
  [SPEAKER_01]: And if he doesn't get his hands on that ball, it's an intersection going the other way.
• 5:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: There's no one in front of him.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's crazy how big of a catch that was.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know, it was just fantastic.
• 5:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I enjoyed watching it every time they replayed it.
• 5:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can appreciate great plays and that was a great play.
• 5:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I tell you what, the car kid impressed me.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: He impressed me.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: He, again, he also went on the road and I thought he showed a lot of boys broke up that busted wide receiver screenplay.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's one that you know he'll watch film and that's something that if that happens again, I think he sells it out of bounds Realizing that there's not even the guy catches it.
• 6:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's going to be like a loss.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: He might as well sell that sucker out of bounds But hey, he's a freshman.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought he played well.
• 6:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: He made some good.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: He drove them when they needed to make big drives
• 6:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: A lot of people were, and I was a little disappointed that loved it and touched the ball quite as much, but I'm also sitting there thinking, watching every time you run, you want to go hurt a little over tacklers.
• 6:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: That is not conducive to staying healthy all season long.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can see why Notre Dame may limit some of his carries early on in the season, just for that.
• 6:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I do think they could have maybe tried to run just a little bit more overall.
• 6:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Price had that big run.
• 6:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Their offensive line is supposed to be really, really good.
• 6:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't think they always pass protected well.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so that's going to be something Notre Dame is going to need to clean up.
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think they will.
• 6:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Is it A&M they have next week?
• 7:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's at Notre Dame.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's I think they'll bounce back and win that game.
• 7:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: For Notre Dame, the key for them is like a week three is there a track game in there after back to back big time game.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's where Notre Dame's kind of stumbled in the past was losing a game they shouldn't.
• 7:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: What you call one of those trap games.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I got to know what Miami they did Tony is Tony and they've got a great wide receiving core and it's funny because you you lose cam board and you're all everybody thinks use the number one pick in the draft, but when you have Carson Beck.
• 7:37
  [SPEAKER_01]: The big difference with Miami, I thought was their defense was a lot better.
• 7:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: They were just not good on defense last year.
• 7:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: They gave up twenty four points last night, but that defense played very well.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Their defense did play well.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: They're, you know, their special teams also played pretty well.
• 7:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't really let Notre Dame rip off a big return or anything.
• 7:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So Miami's going to be one of those teams in the ACC.
• 7:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's going to be right there to challenge.
• 8:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: Don't count out Jeff Brum.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's move to the Hoosiers.
• 8:05
  [SPEAKER_01]: Grant Shows, my cuddle and I reacted after the game and Grant was a little pessimistic.
• 8:10
  [SPEAKER_01]: Here's what I saw, Michelle.
• 8:12
  [SPEAKER_01]: I U is the better team on eighty-five percent of the plays and the score looked a lot closer than the game actually would.
• 8:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I agree they lined up and I, you outside of those two touchdown plays, which was just not blown Mr. Simons on defense.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: They lined up and I, you territory one time penalty and a penalty moved him back into their territory and they never were in Indiana territory the rest of the game.
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, you Cooper doesn't drop that.
• 8:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that, he's wide open.
• 8:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's, that's, he drops a touchdown pass.
• 8:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: He catches that.
• 8:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's in the in zone.
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I, I was not concerned because here's my thing.
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I love it because there are people that don't like sig.
• 8:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like him just because he's not afraid to say in shoots at straight.
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's not afraid to be critical of his own team.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: He said he wasn't pleased with what he saw.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have to get better.
• 9:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's what I like.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: that they didn't score as much as they should have done in the red zone.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I also saw something from somebody that was watching.
• 9:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: They thought I used to be pretty vanilla.
• 9:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And like they're often they said, they didn't know if that was by design or what.
• 9:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're going to have to clean up that red zone.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you have to be pleased with the offensive line for how many yards rushing they got.
• 9:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: They didn't get him in the inzone a couple of times, but I was really impressed with the ground game and that line.
• 9:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, he could better.
• 9:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Men does is going to be better.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: He's going to get better on his reads.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought he played a nervous a little bit, but that's to be expected.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Week one and a brand new system.
• 9:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we forget that colleges aren't like high schools and even like NFL's.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: They don't have free seasons.
• 9:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: They don't get to go scrimmage against anybody else until week one.
• 10:01
  [SPEAKER_01]: I question playing another major power conference in week one.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think we should save all that for week two and three.
• 10:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let these teams get a quote-unquote preseason game under their belt.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to go back to you for just a minute.
• 10:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Old Dominion is not.
• 10:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know they were like five and seven last year, but they only lost the South Carolina by four points in their opener.
• 10:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: They, and they were like three games they played.
• 10:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: A couple others, I think they played them like a P-Four Cont, or whatever, or whoever they played.
• 10:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they were more competitive.
• 10:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think their problem, and they didn't play well necessarily in their own league.
• 10:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: It seemed like they played out, I guess, better competition outside their league better than they did against weaker competition in their league.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: But this is what I like about IU.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: People have to understand they've never been here before.
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: They were unknown.
• 10:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Last year, every game they went out, they were surprising.
• 10:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: They were no one targeted IU until they went into Ohio State at ten and a no.
• 11:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's when they got targeted.
• 11:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: There are winds over Washington and Michigan kind of catapulted them to where people really took them serious.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: This year, they're going in and by being ranked, they're targeted.
• 11:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sometimes they target to learn a maintaining, once you're successful.
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I think they will.
• 11:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: Those kids are going to know this week when they go back to work, go back to practice that I use it.
• 11:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: They did not play well, a hundred percent for the whole game.
• 11:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they're going to look to improve.
• 11:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's a good thing.
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_01]: Michelle, I said before the season Purdue is going to win at least four games this year.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody laughed at me.
• 11:40
  [SPEAKER_01]: They've won one.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_01]: If I said they're no one at home this week, that'll be two.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: Northwestern looks like the worst team in the country.
• 11:46
  [SPEAKER_01]: And this team went four or five games.
• 11:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't really know because no offense any ball state is going to get better.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: They have a new coach guy, you know, the coach Butler last year, but he's stepping, you know, he's stepping up to
• 11:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: a bigger area, and they've also had a lot of players in the transmitting.
• 12:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: They've also had a lot of players in the transfer portal too.
• 12:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know produced it too, but here's the difference.
• 12:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Produced players were, for the most part, you know, overall would be a little bit better quality than what I went to.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_01]: Right.
• 12:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I could fall state a week one night, I could feel better at the end, but I think right now they're going to be one of the weaker teams in the math.
• 12:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a good link for Purdue.
• 12:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's gonna be interesting, when they have to, when they go play Notre Dame, that could be an interesting game for them because if they get there, if they get blown out, how does that affect, you know, what ever going on?
• 12:43
  [SPEAKER_01]: Of course they're gonna go blown out.
• 12:44
  [SPEAKER_01]: We're living in reality still here, so.
• 12:47
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think we're still living in reality.
• 12:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they, I think you're right.
• 12:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think they can win four games, but they win five games.
• 12:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: If for anyone's five games, they should consider in a somewhat successful season.
• 13:00
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think four is a successful season five.
• 13:03
  [SPEAKER_01]: They really successful season six, and now we're talking about lifetime contracts.
• 13:07
  [SPEAKER_01]: Very old.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_01]: That UNLVT was pretty darn good last year and Purdue has half that team.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_01]: I think asking any more than four or five wins is probably too much.
• 13:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: Michelle, thanks so much.
• 13:20
  [SPEAKER_01]: It's been a lot of fun.
• 13:21
  [SPEAKER_01]: Let's do it every weekend after the college football game.
• 13:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right.
• 13:53
  [SPEAKER_01]: The central Indian Esports Report is a product of ITG media, and I love Susie.
