Bama Bob previews the College weekend, Eugene Rapy talks Cyclones & Football Friday Picks presented by Circa Sports · The Lunch Rush with Trent Condon

• 0:01
  Power #2 Hillary Condon, welcome back Iowa sports radio network
• 0:05
  Bama Bob momentarily, Eugene repay bottom of the hour, our
• 0:08
  plays of the week coming up. Circus sports sponsors those
• 0:12
  real quick before Bama, somebody called you in the break, Trent
• 0:15
  wanted to ask you Dak Prescott, MVP, they make the playoffs.
• 0:20
  They're absolutely he's a the numbers he's putting up.
• 0:23
  Are unbelievable. I brought that up in our
• 0:25
  Mediacom show inside the numbers that you can catch on MC22 a few
• 0:30
  times over the weekend where we talk strictly sports wagering.
• 0:33
  And I said at the time too, I think it's worth a gander if he
• 0:36
  can drag that team to a playoff bid, absolutely is going to be a
• 0:40
  part of the conversation. I mean, what's he going to throw
• 0:42
  for 4500 yards? Maybe 5?
• 0:44
  40 touchdowns. I don't think it is a stretch of
• 0:46
  what he is doing offensively. Can he keep up?
• 0:49
  He's getting CD Lamb back here pretty quick.
• 0:51
  There's a lot to be excited about there.
• 0:53
  You're gonna have to bit win every week, 4542.
• 0:55
  And you need something goofy. You need the Colts to be the one
• 0:58
  seed. Well, we're not going to give it
• 0:59
  to Daniel Jones, right? He's not the NBA.
• 1:01
  No, he needs to be come back. Player of the Year.
• 1:03
  That's what you want, Yeah. Jonathan Taylor, well, he's not
• 1:06
  going to win MVP because he's not a quarterback.
• 1:07
  So you take that one off. You need a few things to happen,
• 1:10
  but at the price that's out there at 25 to 1 and. 30 at
• 1:13
  DraftKings I. Put that one in the back pocket.
• 1:15
  Not a bad idea. Bama, let's get right to We got
• 1:18
  a big slate of games, brother. We're never going to make it.
• 1:20
  Our Yeah, never know. Prescott has no running game
• 1:24
  either, so that'll help. Yeah, true Alabama, the audience
• 1:28
  loves to get your take on the locals when they play a
• 1:31
  meaningful game, and both of them do this week.
• 1:33
  Iowa State's in Colorado, Iowa is in Madison.
• 1:36
  Just your your take in a minute and a half if you can put them
• 1:39
  together on Iowa State and Colorado and the Hawks and the
• 1:42
  Badgers. Yeah, big game for Iowa State.
• 1:45
  Disappointing obviously last week the game in Cincinnati,
• 1:49
  they're still in it. I think kind of I think this is
• 1:52
  a must win for them to stay in the conference race because you
• 1:57
  look there's four undefeated teams, including Cincinnati.
• 2:00
  They've lost to above them. They've still got games against
• 2:03
  BYU and Arizona State. I don't know if Texas Tech is on
• 2:07
  their schedule. Yeah.
• 2:09
  So you know, they they win this one.
• 2:11
  They've got games in front of them that you know, they can
• 2:14
  they can climb over some teams. They dropped this one.
• 2:16
  I think they're done in terms of the Big 12.
• 2:18
  I just I don't know that a two loss team is going to get in.
• 2:22
  So yeah, big game for them. I think Dion is coaching.
• 2:26
  I was the last I saw he anticipated.
• 2:28
  I think that's a big deal for Colorado.
• 2:30
  I don't know that. I mean he is that program right
• 2:32
  now. Let's just face it, his
• 2:33
  personality and everything going on around him.
• 2:36
  So having him there I think will be inspirational.
• 2:38
  And also, you know, for game adjustments, I like Iowa State.
• 2:42
  I think Colorado has played. I don't know about the number.
• 2:44
  I just think I would say this needs to win.
• 2:46
  Doesn't matter if it's by one point or 10, they got to win
• 2:49
  this game. You know, Iowa and Wisconsin,
• 2:52
  this is this 1 is a little less interesting, I guess.
• 2:56
  And I hate to say that because I know it's a it's a big rivalry
• 2:59
  game, but Wisconsin's just dreadful.
• 3:02
  This is another game that Iowa, if they want to have a good
• 3:05
  season and you know, if that's competing for a big 10 or not, I
• 3:08
  don't know that they're quite there.
• 3:11
  Again, a lot of teams to climb over.
• 3:12
  A lot of you know, chaos going to happen, but if they won an 8
• 3:16
  or 9 win season, right, they've got to win this game because
• 3:19
  Wisconsin is just dreadful. Neither quarterback looks.
• 3:22
  I'm just looking at the stats. It looks like they've
• 3:24
  necessarily played particularly well the the Wisconsin.
• 3:30
  Simmons is going to be the guy this week.
• 3:32
  Oh, is he OK? That's going to say, I'm looking
• 3:34
  at the numbers and they're just not impressive.
• 3:36
  You know, 5 TDs, 5 picks, that's usually not going to get it
• 3:39
  done. Gronowski hasn't lived it up
• 3:40
  either. But yeah, I think Iowa again,
• 3:43
  got to win this one. Wisconsin's terrible.
• 3:46
  I saw them down here play Alabama.
• 3:47
  Their defensive line is pretty good.
• 3:50
  They just don't have much offensively.
• 3:52
  If, if Iowa State, I if I'm sorry, if Iowa can put up 24
• 3:57
  points. I just don't think Wisconsin can
• 3:58
  match that. I'm with you Buckeyes in
• 4:00
  Illinois. Trent Condon, boys a big game.
• 4:02
  I love this game. Illinois, different team at
• 4:04
  home. Do we just throw the Indiana
• 4:06
  game to the side? It's a big question mark here.
• 4:08
  They're going to have to ugly it up.
• 4:09
  Aldmeyer's going to, you know, I'd say a lot to pull an upset.
• 4:12
  You don't have to play perfect, but you have to play clean.
• 4:14
  They might have to play play perfect, though.
• 4:16
  The way that this Ohio State defense is playing.
• 4:18
  Altmeyer cannot turn it over. He hasn't thrown a pick this
• 4:21
  year. That has to continue.
• 4:22
  Well too. He is, He had a couple of
• 4:24
  interceptions. He's only been sacked twice this
• 4:26
  year. Illinois's got to get home.
• 4:27
  They the defensive line has to play well if they're going to
• 4:30
  have a chance here. And yet I kind of just have this
• 4:33
  lingering feeling that this is going to be interesting, at
• 4:36
  least into the second-half 14. And a half is the number of the
• 4:38
  Buckeyes are favored. Are your thoughts Bama?
• 4:42
  Man, I really like this. I'd like to agree because I
• 4:44
  think Illinois was one of my sleeper picks to get into the
• 4:47
  playoffs. Can happen.
• 4:50
  You talk about throwing the Indiana game out the window, I
• 4:52
  understand. But can you really do that?
• 4:54
  I mean, that was just a beat down.
• 4:56
  I know it was on the road and I do play better at home.
• 5:01
  I just don't know even if Illinois plays perfect, I mean,
• 5:03
  Ohio State's going to have to help them and they just don't
• 5:06
  seem like a team. They could just beat you in so
• 5:09
  many ways, right? They've got they've got the stud
• 5:12
  on the outside and Jeremiah Smith.
• 5:15
  They can run the ball with a bevy of backs.
• 5:19
  You know, they they've got they've, they're good on
• 5:22
  defense. They've got an outstanding
• 5:24
  coaching staff. They'll figure out a way.
• 5:26
  I think. I think this staff and Kirby
• 5:29
  Smart at Georgia are the two best coaches.
• 5:32
  I hope Georgia has already lost the game.
• 5:34
  I understand. But just overall these, they
• 5:36
  figure it out. I saw Georgia at Tennessee,
• 5:39
  right? They're getting bliss.
• 5:40
  They just figured out a way to win.
• 5:41
  I think if things go bad, they'll figure something out.
• 5:45
  I don't know that Illinois can beat you.
• 5:49
  You know, just really going up and down the field.
• 5:50
  They can't match firepower. I guess the spread maybe?
• 5:54
  Two NFL receivers. There's just too much.
• 5:58
  I mean, again, we're getting into that era right in NIL and
• 6:02
  all that kind of stuff that we're just going to see this
• 6:05
  year over here. And listen, nobody, they're the
• 6:07
  number one team in the country and everybody, someone like, oh,
• 6:09
  you know, Indiana and Oregon and Alabama and Georgia and let's
• 6:13
  not forget, OK, they're just rolling along right here.
• 6:16
  I mean, they're just business. Like I think, I think it happens
• 6:19
  again. I might, if, you know, if
• 6:22
  gambling weren't a mortal sin and I was allowed to do it here
• 6:24
  in Alabama, I might put a little bit, you know, taking the
• 6:28
  points. But I just, I can't, I can't see
• 6:31
  a way. I can't see a path unless Ohio
• 6:34
  State really helps them. I can't see a path for Illinois
• 6:37
  to win the game. And I think that's pretty much
• 6:39
  going to do it for them in the Big 10.
• 6:41
  Trent, Indiana is not a good Rd. team.
• 6:44
  They're on. They're taking on Oregon.
• 6:47
  Now. Here's the crazy thing.
• 6:48
  The number opened up at 9 1/2. It's come down 2 1/2 points.
• 6:51
  It's seven points now. What am I missing?
• 6:54
  I don't know what are you missing?
• 6:56
  Why do you hate Indiana? I just.
• 6:57
  They're on, they're on the road. They have I watched.
• 7:01
  Him play in Iowa City. He got beat.
• 7:04
  How many times have we seen that at Kiddick Stadium?
• 7:06
  Lots. Was 2016 Michigan better than
• 7:08
  Iowa? Was 2021 Penn State better than
• 7:11
  Iowa? No, it's Kiddick Stadium.
• 7:13
  I'm not going to read anything to that.
• 7:14
  I love the points. Give me the.
• 7:16
  Quarterback, though, even when he's back to last year.
• 7:19
  You, you like them? I do.
• 7:21
  How about you, Bama? Are The Who is the Hoosiers the
• 7:23
  right side in this game? It's hard again for me.
• 7:27
  I want to see that they haven't beaten anybody really elite in
• 7:32
  the last two years. OK, we talked about it all last
• 7:35
  year, right? And I understand they were a
• 7:37
  playoff team, undefeated, all that.
• 7:38
  You really go back and look, I'm talking about an elite top five,
• 7:42
  top ten team, which I think Oregon is now maybe we're going
• 7:46
  to, you know, the that Penn State win might not look quite
• 7:50
  as good as after last week, but that was in Happy Valley.
• 7:54
  They're a tough team at home. I mean, that is 1 very
• 7:58
  underrated, very tough place to play.
• 8:01
  We saw Ohio State struggle there.
• 8:02
  We've seen big teams in the past in the old PAC 12.
• 8:05
  USC has struggled there. I'm going to have to see it out
• 8:10
  of Indiana to beat a truly await team.
• 8:13
  I'll tell you what I like more than anything.
• 8:14
  I think I like the over. I'm looking at the total sitting
• 8:17
  at 53 1/2. I think this game gets over
• 8:19
  that. I know Indiana's defense is
• 8:21
  good, but I think there's enough firepower on both sides.
• 8:26
  I would take, I would take the points as well.
• 8:28
  I like Oregon maybe, you know, by three or four points.
• 8:34
  I just have to see Indiana beat an elite team, especially on the
• 8:40
  road before I'm really going to start buying into this because
• 8:43
  they didn't do it last year. They haven't done it this year.
• 8:46
  I know that Illinois win. You know, they just they they
• 8:49
  ran all over them. I understand.
• 8:51
  We thought that would be a better game.
• 8:54
  Wasn't no, but again, that was in Bloomington.
• 8:58
  Can they go on the road And it's listen, they really kind of need
• 9:02
  it. I think, you know, you start
• 9:04
  looking at everything down the road.
• 9:06
  It's not terrible. They do have to go to Penn
• 9:08
  State, but after that, it's really not a terrible game.
• 9:11
  This will go a long way, I think to whether they get into the Big
• 9:15
  10 championship game or not, which I think if they win this
• 9:18
  one, they they're going to have an inside track.
• 9:20
  There's no Ohio State on that schedule, I think.
• 9:24
  I think this is this is almost a pseudo playoff game for them.
• 9:27
  I still still have a shot. But man, you, you win this one
• 9:31
  in Eugene with everybody watching.
• 9:34
  But I'm going to have to see it. I'm not putting any money on the
• 9:36
  money line. I will put I would put some on
• 9:38
  the on the spread, especially if it stays over 7 1/2.
• 9:42
  But yeah, both quarterbacks playing an incredibly high
• 9:44
  level, 30 touchdowns, 2 picks between them.
• 9:47
  If if one defense can force, I'll say 2 turnovers, I think
• 9:51
  that side's going to win. I just don't know the Indiana
• 9:53
  can do it. But I think it's going to be AI
• 9:55
  think it's a great game. I do and I'm glad to see it.
• 9:58
  I'm glad to see it outside of the standard.
• 10:02
  You know, none of the see the Big 10 season doesn't matter
• 10:04
  until we get to Ohio State, Michigan, right?
• 10:06
  Well, now this one matters. These are two new teams where
• 10:08
  the conference matters. And then there there's a lot of
• 10:09
  stakes on the line for both sides.
• 10:11
  I'm just going to have to see Indiana prove it on the road.
• 10:14
  Here's Approve it game, Trent, Michigan and USC.
• 10:16
  Elimination game, perhaps for both teams as it pertains to a
• 10:20
  Big 10 title until A-Team. A good team can prove against
• 10:24
  another decent team on the West Coast.
• 10:25
  So they can do it. I'm going to take the West Coast
• 10:27
  team, give me USC. I'll lay the point.
• 10:29
  Would you do the same, Bama? I agree.
• 10:32
  I mean, this, this, this, you know, going West it, it
• 10:35
  shouldn't be as hard as it is, right?
• 10:37
  I mean, they're more in the middle of the country.
• 10:39
  It's not like they're going from, you know, you know, Penn
• 10:41
  State or or, you know, New Jersey or wherever that is.
• 10:44
  But you know, they're going with the clock as opposed to against
• 10:47
  it. But these weird things happen.
• 10:50
  Then again, stupid conference, right?
• 10:52
  It's their own fault. Can't really, you know, blame
• 10:54
  anybody for it. Under what's already shown.
• 10:56
  He can win on the road. That was a really nice win, you
• 11:00
  know, that they have, you know, so I, I, yeah, I mean, I just, I
• 11:05
  think that it's just such, it is so tough, right, to go on the
• 11:11
  road like, like Trent said, to go out West that far.
• 11:15
  I'm going to have to see it. I I think this is a definite
• 11:17
  elimination game for USC. They, they, they dropped this
• 11:20
  when they're done and all of a sudden Lincoln Riley again has
• 11:23
  failed. You know, whatever is 1213
• 11:25
  million dollar salary is, you know, he has failed again to
• 11:28
  deliver them to a playoff. And so this is a must win for
• 11:32
  USC. I think you combine all of that
• 11:34
  with the fact that they can go up and down.
• 11:36
  I will weigh the points as well. It's not a it's you know, it's
• 11:39
  not an early body clock game for Michigan.
• 11:42
  So that's going to help. It's 4:30, right?
• 11:45
  I don't know if they went out Thursday or not.
• 11:46
  I keep saying these teams should go out Thursday to get
• 11:48
  acclimated. I don't know if they did, but
• 11:50
  yeah, I'll take USC. I'll weigh the points.
• 11:53
  I'm going to have to see Underwood win a big, big, big
• 11:57
  game. He, you know, he played well at
• 11:59
  Oklahoma. They lost.
• 12:00
  Yeah, but beat Nebraska and it was close, but it was probably
• 12:03
  not as close. As it was, as it was.
• 12:05
  Yeah, exactly. I agree with that.
• 12:07
  So yeah, again, I'm with Trent on this one.
• 12:09
  I got to see it. I'm laying.
• 12:10
  I will. I will lay the points, you know,
• 12:13
  basically a field goal. But yeah, another brand game for
• 12:16
  the Big 10. Let's go to this one.
• 12:19
  Trent Bama and Mizzou. Mizzou still at home, Not going
• 12:23
  anywhere. Your thoughts?
• 12:25
  I like the tigers. You do.
• 12:27
  Yes. More on this coming up later.
• 12:29
  What is the number? 3/3 and 1/2.
• 12:31
  Getting 3 1/2 yes Bama, Alabama and Mizzou your thoughts?
• 12:37
  It really, really tough game for Alabama coming off you know, you
• 12:40
  had the the win over Georgia, which was just, you know,
• 12:44
  probably their biggest one of their two biggest gains of the
• 12:47
  year. You can throw Tennessee in
• 12:48
  there. You had the revenge game last
• 12:50
  week against Vanderbilt and which sounds crazy, but you did
• 12:54
  in Diego Pavia. Missouri was sitting there
• 12:57
  waiting on you, right. They run the ball now Alabama
• 13:00
  should, you would think what has really troubled them in the past
• 13:05
  are these teams like you saw it against FSU that spread it out
• 13:08
  and you know, throw it from all these the others eye candy they
• 13:11
  got to deal with. You got to keep defensive
• 13:13
  discipline and all that stuff. And we saw that a little bit
• 13:16
  against Vanderbilt last week. You know, the the running back
• 13:19
  broke one for 65. Pavia had a big run.
• 13:22
  He turned it over in the red zone, which really was probably
• 13:26
  the difference in that game. I don't know that Missouri's
• 13:28
  going to do that. Missouri might have one of the
• 13:30
  better running backs in the nation in Hardy as well.
• 13:33
  Do and you know, he's got 9 touchdowns, but again, that kind
• 13:38
  of plays to the strength of what Alabama can do.
• 13:42
  You would think, you know why your front 7, right?
• 13:44
  They've always get hurt in the back end.
• 13:46
  So I think the quarterback's going to have to play good.
• 13:48
  We know what Alabama's quarterback's done lately,
• 13:50
  right? Missouri I don't think can go
• 13:52
  up. This is one of those games
• 13:54
  they're going to have to control the ball on the ground and grind
• 13:57
  out some drives and some points. I think because, you know,
• 14:00
  drinking what's kind of missing it this week, You know, there's
• 14:04
  NFL receivers on. I don't know that that Missouri
• 14:07
  has them. I know Alabama has them.
• 14:09
  They got two, maybe 3 and Ryan Williams and and Jeremy Bernard
• 14:15
  Simpson's playing at a Heisman level.
• 14:17
  Listen, the fans are going to be fired up.
• 14:19
  Missouri coming off a bye. I can't I can't take Missouri in
• 14:23
  this spot. I really like what I've seen the
• 14:24
  last two weeks really since the FSU game on Alabama.
• 14:27
  It's all I think it's all going to come down to Simpson, right?
• 14:29
  He's they got to protect him and he's got to make plays down the
• 14:33
  field. If they can do that, I think
• 14:34
  they can grind one out. But man, this is this is as
• 14:37
  tough as it gets for Alabama. And and I think, I won't say
• 14:42
  it's a tougher game than Georgia, but it's right up
• 14:44
  there. This is a really good Mizzou
• 14:46
  team, but again, the best opponent that Missouri has seen
• 14:50
  by far earlier that five game schedule that they've had so
• 14:53
  far. There's nobody on this list that
• 14:56
  compares to Alabama's talent OR the way they're playing right
• 14:58
  now. But again, you got to get up in
• 15:01
  this conference week after week after week, and here they go.
• 15:04
  And oh, by the way, they do it this week.
• 15:05
  Guess who comes to Tuscaloosa next week, 3rd Saturday in
• 15:09
  October? Hello.
• 15:12
  Tough spot for Alabama, Yeah. Buckle up for that one is here
• 15:16
  comes Tennessee. Let's go the Cotton Bowl, Trent.
• 15:19
  All right, I thought you were skipping this one.
• 15:21
  You made me nervous over. No, no, no.
• 15:24
  Going out of order. It's I don't think, but here's
• 15:27
  going. So he's probable today.
• 15:30
  Did you see? I, I did, I, I, I'm with you.
• 15:32
  He had surgery on his throwing hand 17 days ago.
• 15:36
  And if he goes, is he going to throw the football?
• 15:38
  I I think there's just too much uncertainty here.
• 15:41
  I'll take Texas. It's not because I like the
• 15:43
  Longhorns. This is more of a fate Oklahoma
• 15:45
  better, but more of a fate of the Sooners.
• 15:46
  Yeah, Bama, I want to watch the game because I think there's a
• 15:52
  ton of intrigue. Iowa State's playing Colorado at
• 15:54
  the same time, so I won't see a ton of it.
• 15:56
  What am I going to miss in this game?
• 15:59
  This is really interesting right, Oklahoma really coming in
• 16:03
  as a favorite and I think of Matir, if you had certainty on
• 16:08
  him right, if he hadn't got injured and we you know, we knew
• 16:11
  he was going to then I love him. Yep Oh my gosh.
• 16:13
  I mean this could be north of a touchdown.
• 16:15
  I think I just manning his he's shown some good things, but he's
• 16:21
  he's made some bonehead place. We saw it in Gainesville last
• 16:24
  week. Now this is not a true Rd. game.
• 16:26
  It's split 5050, but that's a nervous this fan base guys right
• 16:31
  now. I mean, they're they dropped
• 16:32
  this game and they're done and they are absolutely finished.
• 16:36
  They're not going to get to the SEC championship game.
• 16:39
  They're going to have three losses.
• 16:41
  I know it would be to Ohio State and Florida and Oklahoma.
• 16:44
  They're good losses, right? If you want to look at it that
• 16:47
  way. But three losses is 3 losses and
• 16:49
  they still got other games right.
• 16:53
  This is a must win for Texas and we'll see what Sarkeesian and
• 16:59
  everybody can do. I think I think the underrated
• 17:02
  piece of this, I think is Oklahoma's defense.
• 17:05
  They are pretty solid. Now.
• 17:07
  I know they haven't faced, you know, Auburn is terrible on
• 17:10
  offense. So Oklahoma hasn't really faced,
• 17:14
  you know, great offenses. They had a they had a freshman
• 17:17
  quarterback, you know, Bryce Underwood that they kept, you
• 17:21
  know, you know, under wraps, if you will, a little bit in that
• 17:23
  game. So they they played, they've
• 17:25
  been challenged this year and they've answered, answered every
• 17:28
  challenge. I just I can't take Texas.
• 17:30
  I just can't. I I you know, we got all excited
• 17:33
  after the Ohio State game when they beat, you know, sisters of
• 17:36
  the poor, you know, San Jose State and UTEP and Sam Houston,
• 17:39
  all big flipping deal, right? And then I had a bye week in
• 17:42
  there and then they go and they play a real team again and bam,
• 17:44
  they get punched in the face. So I like Oklahoma in this game
• 17:47
  where the mater goes or not, I like Oklahoma.
• 17:50
  I just can't trust me. And he's got 5 interceptions on
• 17:53
  the year and they've been big ones that cost them games.
• 17:57
  I think he throws another one or two tomorrow, so I'll take
• 18:00
  Oklahoma. But this is a tough, this is
• 18:02
  always a tough game to bet. It really is.
• 18:03
  You think he knows something and you don't.
• 18:05
  It's just historically you have no clue.
• 18:07
  But I'll take the Sooners. Let's skip to the Big 12.
• 18:09
  Trent, Arizona State. Levitt not going to play?
• 18:12
  No one has taken a snap other than Levitt this year.
• 18:15
  Sounds like, what's his name, Sims.
• 18:17
  Jeff Sims, he's the backup quarterback.
• 18:19
  Memories of Minnesota, Nebraska for a year.
• 18:21
  This is a COVID kid. No, not had COVID.
• 18:24
  He played in 2020. In the COVID year.
• 18:26
  He's going to be the guy. Started in Georgia Tech that
• 18:28
  guy. Yes, that's the dude.
• 18:30
  He's going to be the guy. Where do we go?
• 18:34
  I to beat Arizona State, you got to throw the ball.
• 18:37
  I don't think Devin Dampier can throw the ball.
• 18:39
  Yeah, OK. That's.
• 18:40
  Fair. If somebody gets to 20, they win
• 18:41
  this game. I don't know if anybody's going
• 18:43
  to get to 20. It's going to be ugly.
• 18:44
  Mm. Hmm.
• 18:45
  What is the total? And that's a good one, Trent,
• 18:47
  that that's, that's interesting. Do you know the total in?
• 18:49
  This game I do not. I'm looking at 45 1/2. 45 1/2,
• 18:54
  that seems high. Yeah, seems a little.
• 18:56
  High and I'll tell you too the I don't know if you looked at the
• 18:58
  weather forecast it's supposed to be pouring rain during this
• 19:01
  game really yeah I mean I'm. Open up my app.
• 19:04
  Let's go to Circa Sports in the new app, all right?
• 19:08
  You know, 45 at circa 8 1/2. Utah's favored.
• 19:11
  Yeah, I'm leaving the weather though tomorrow night and I
• 19:14
  think it's I thought I saw it was supposed to be rain during
• 19:18
  the game. So, but anyway, I don't know any
• 19:21
  if it is, then that's, you know, go back to the running game
• 19:24
  again, right. But yeah, I I think Levitt,
• 19:28
  obviously I see Utah getting 8 1/2 getting laying 8 1/2 right.
• 19:34
  That seems awful big to me. And I know it's it's a four
• 19:37
  point swing over Levitt. Again, Dillingham, this is a
• 19:41
  huge game. I mean, Arizona State's got some
• 19:44
  wiggle room. Utah doesn't.
• 19:46
  I don't know about the line. I'll just take the youths at
• 19:48
  home against the backup quarterback.
• 19:51
  We'll, you know, Kyle Woodingham and that staff because you know,
• 19:54
  they lost to Texas Tech. They again, they dropped this
• 19:57
  one. Their season in terms of Big 12
• 19:59
  is over, playoff is over. So I will take the youths at
• 20:02
  home, especially without Levitt. I don't know how much the
• 20:05
  weather is going to factor into it.
• 20:08
  But if it is a factor, I think that helps you talk a little
• 20:10
  bit. 30 seconds literally on this game.
• 20:13
  Texas Tech, do they slip up this week?
• 20:16
  Now blow up the numbers 14 1/2 fourteen Any any thoughts that
• 20:20
  Texas Tech needs to be cautious with The Jayhawks coming in
• 20:23
  Bama? None.
• 20:25
  None that quick enough, yeah. That was.
• 20:29
  Yeah, I, I, I can't give them. I don't give Kansas any chance
• 20:31
  in this game. Your sneaky game of the week,
• 20:33
  Trent Condon. Well, you know, I like to go off
• 20:35
  the board a little bit more. Where are you?
• 20:37
  Going now last week. Yes, I I found something all
• 20:41
  right. Kent State has not beaten an FBS
• 20:43
  team since 2022. Yet Kent State yet they are
• 20:49
  favored against O and five UMass.
• 20:52
  Just because I love ugly, gross things.
• 20:56
  Sneaky. Maybe good's not the right term,
• 20:58
  Sneaky. Interesting game this weekend.
• 21:01
  Kent State laying points in a team that hasn't beat an FBS
• 21:05
  team in over three years. I love that one.
• 21:07
  All right, how about you, Mama Sneaky?
• 21:10
  Game I'm going to, I'm going to keep her a little more
• 21:12
  mainstream. I'll stay in the Big 12 and I'll
• 21:14
  go BYU at Arizona. I think that's got a chance to
• 21:19
  be good. BYU ranked undefeated in the
• 21:22
  conference. Arizona, you know, one and one
• 21:24
  in the conference, you know, going on the road again, you're,
• 21:29
  you know, big game. I think there's a lot of teams
• 21:31
  that would love to see Arizona win.
• 21:33
  This game kind of throws that conference more into chaos.
• 21:35
  Then two losses got into play, I think.
• 21:37
  I think 2 losses still good. We're dealing with tiebreakers,
• 21:40
  but. It does, but you're going to
• 21:41
  have, you know, it's it's, but you know, you don't want BYU to
• 21:44
  jump out to three and, oh, with Texas Tech at three and, oh, I
• 21:46
  mean, you kind of want a little chaos here.
• 21:48
  So I hell yeah, right. I, I, I just think that's going
• 21:52
  to be a fun game. I don't know how much else do
• 21:53
  you have it, but I think it's got a chance to be good.
• 21:55
  South Florida and North Texas for me, 4-5 and O four and one.
• 22:00
  That game goes tonight. More on that trend coming up.
• 22:04
  Yeah, that's got a lot of Group of Five implications.
• 22:07
  Hell yeah, it does. Yeah, I remember.
• 22:09
  I remember Babel, one of our August conversation with Trent
• 22:11
  was on the road on vacation. I think North Texas was part of
• 22:16
  it as maybe the team that we should be watching in that group
• 22:18
  of five, although I think I went with Boise, stupid me.
• 22:22
  Anyways, Bama, we'll recap the week on on Monday.
• 22:25
  Thank you, buddy. Appreciate it.
• 22:27
  Sounds good guys, always enjoy it.
• 22:29
  Good to talk to you. Have a good, enjoy the weekend,
• 22:31
  enjoy all the college football. Somebody might enjoy $1000
• 22:34
  coming to their bank account. How about that?
• 22:36
  Head to kxno.com right now. The keyword this hour in this
• 22:39
  nationwide contest is money. Money at kxno.com, your chance
• 22:43
  to win $1000 Eugene repay on Iowa State.
• 22:47
  He joins us next Miller and Condon on the Iowa Sports Radio
• 22:49
  Network. Hi Mallory.
• 22:53
  Condon just passed 130 Iowa Sports Radio Network flagship
• 22:56
  front of Des Moines sports station One O 6.3 KXN.
• 23:01
  O do you get the connection with this song and?
• 23:04
  I don't. What am I missing?
• 23:05
  Where Iowa State's heading this weekend We're.
• 23:06
  Headed to Boulder? Yeah.
• 23:08
  Who's what's this about? Mary Jane's last dance.
• 23:10
  Mary Jane? I did not.
• 23:12
  Well, huff Puff. Yeah, yeah, you're getting the
• 23:15
  connection. Well, there, it's legal.
• 23:16
  There it is, yeah. It is now you know what I do.
• 23:20
  First beer I ever had at a college event.
• 23:22
  Was that Folsom Field, was it? Of course it was.
• 23:24
  That's all they serve. Oh, they did.
• 23:26
  And back in 19 I saw I would play there.
• 23:29
  Yeah, 93. That was a bad.
• 23:32
  It wasn't. Bad Hayden beefed up the non
• 23:34
  conference that year. They also played Miami.
• 23:35
  He didn't go very well. Yeah.
• 23:37
  Let's get Eugene repay in here he covers.
• 23:39
  I would stay Eugene Trenton. Ken, thank you for coming on.
• 23:42
  Appreciate it as always. I want to start basketball with
• 23:46
  you, if that's OK, because TJ and the squad had their media
• 23:50
  day course. You were covering it for the Des
• 23:52
  Moines Register. So if you don't mind, let's
• 23:55
  start there. And I was struck by a couple of
• 23:57
  things. I think maybe most notably is,
• 24:00
  is TJ was his openness when it came to his, to his senior, Nate
• 24:06
  Heisey talking about the summer maybe wasn't what the TJ thought
• 24:11
  it was going to be, that he needed a, you know, maybe a kick
• 24:14
  in the pants because he's a, you know, he's a, a senior, 50 years
• 24:18
  senior and, and just, you know, we've been there.
• 24:21
  He's done that before, But he said that nobody has come on in
• 24:25
  the fall like Nate. So he built him up at the end,
• 24:28
  but was willing to share the fact that he wasn't too happy
• 24:30
  with him during the summer month.
• 24:32
  I I I found that interesting, Eugene.
• 24:35
  Yeah, kick in the pants might be putting it lightly.
• 24:37
  I, I had heard some things over the summer that his performance
• 24:40
  wasn't exactly what they were hoping for.
• 24:43
  Especially when you come in and you see the 8 newcomers
• 24:47
  absolutely grinding, just trying to make a good first impression.
• 24:50
  And you know, with Heidi, when they're sixth year senior, going
• 24:53
  into your last ride, maybe you feel like, Oh yeah, done this
• 24:57
  before, you know, wake me up when the real thing starts.
• 25:00
  But now after some very honest, straightforward questions or
• 25:04
  conversations rather with TJ, he has been absolutely impressive.
• 25:09
  Everyone has been raving about him just from the the winning
• 25:12
  habits, with TJ Alsenberger saying that he's been leading
• 25:15
  the team to the point where now he's in consideration for a
• 25:18
  captain. Role.
• 25:19
  I was, I was shocked. But you know, that's that's high
• 25:22
  praise, that's high compliments is very indicative of where
• 25:26
  Heisey is right now. For Heisey, you know, for him,
• 25:29
  just going in, he kind of got hit with that realization like,
• 25:32
  hey, this is my last college basketball season and I'm going
• 25:34
  to look to make this the best one possible.
• 25:37
  Taemin Lipsy's going through rehab.
• 25:39
  Frustrating, certainly, no doubt about that, and another season
• 25:42
  that starts off on the wrong foot for him.
• 25:45
  Of the veterans, though, boy, I so much talk about Joshua
• 25:48
  Jefferson and his role, what he's going to do, playing with
• 25:51
  men, Chilovich and getting him involved.
• 25:53
  It feels like Jefferson's maybe going to have the ball in his
• 25:56
  hands even more this season. Is that a fairway to look at it?
• 25:59
  Yeah, he's definitely going to be a player that they're going
• 26:01
  to look to play through. From what I've heard, the
• 26:04
  combination, just the 1-2 punch of Joshua Jefferson and Milan
• 26:07
  Montelowicz has been absolute dynamite in practice.
• 26:10
  That's probably a line of configuration that we're going
• 26:13
  to see those two together on the court as much as possible.
• 26:15
  They're probably not going to look to stagger them a lot.
• 26:18
  Joshua Jefferson obviously showed his skill and this is
• 26:21
  ability to be an all around player last year.
• 26:23
  Going into this year, just seeing him at media day, he
• 26:26
  looks way more leaner. He looked like he shed some
• 26:28
  pounds and so it looks like he's a guy that they'll be looking to
• 26:31
  run more, probably get his conditioning up because they're
• 26:34
  probably going to want to play him as much as possible.
• 26:36
  And he appears to be in good shape, good spirits going into
• 26:39
  this season. Killian Torre is a guy that and
• 26:42
  TJ went out of his way to praise his defence in in the in the
• 26:47
  press conference that you guys had.
• 26:48
  And of course we know if you don't play defence, don't look
• 26:50
  after that end of the floor, your minutes are going to be
• 26:52
  numbered, putting it mildly. When it comes to playing for TJ
• 26:56
  Otselberger. He said he made some catch in
• 26:58
  three so we can shoot the ball. Is Torre going to see
• 27:01
  significant minutes, do you think, this year?
• 27:05
  Torre and Jamere Bateman are two freshmen that ever since they
• 27:07
  arrived on campus, it sounds like, you know, not that they've
• 27:11
  been rolling out the red carpet for them because everything is
• 27:13
  earned in this program, but just the praise that they've been
• 27:16
  consistently getting since the summer session start in July has
• 27:19
  been impressive. And Torre himself, he's been
• 27:21
  going to war with Tame and Lipsy every day in practice when Lipsy
• 27:25
  was healthy. And just the the reports of the
• 27:28
  battles that they had in practice has just been
• 27:31
  intriguing. He's been giving Tamer a run for
• 27:33
  his money. He's just a guy that ever since
• 27:36
  he was still back in Europe and France, he's just prided himself
• 27:39
  on his defense. It's an acid of his game that he
• 27:42
  loves the most. And for him, this is just a
• 27:44
  natural fit. So I I think we will see some
• 27:47
  good minutes out of the Toure, especially early on with Lipsy
• 27:50
  nursing this knee injury. But one thing that stood out to
• 27:53
  me about Toure is you heard about the lengthy, see it in
• 27:55
  pictures and things, things like that.
• 27:57
  We're just standing right next to him.
• 27:59
  He's got some great length, he's got a great frame, a pretty good
• 28:02
  wingspan, and they're going to use all that.
• 28:04
  You combine that with his hustle and drive on defense and he's
• 28:08
  going to be someone who sees the minutes.
• 28:10
  Eugene, let's jump over to some basket from basketball to
• 28:13
  football. Iowa State going to Colorado.
• 28:16
  What a start. Last week we saw comeback
• 28:19
  opportunities, missed opportunities.
• 28:21
  Iowa State held Cincinnati to 1 for 10 and 3rd and 4th downs in
• 28:25
  the second-half. Was that just Cincinnati maybe
• 28:28
  just playing on their heels a little bit, or did you see some
• 28:31
  things defensively that Iowa State did that changed up that
• 28:34
  game and gave him a chance in the second?
• 28:35
  Tackled. I think Cincinnati definitely
• 28:40
  made some mistakes. I mean, there were so many
• 28:42
  completions that were just called back or big plays that
• 28:44
  were called back to do to penalties.
• 28:46
  So Cincinnati just didn't really have the momentum that they had
• 28:49
  in the first half, but I would say did do some things that made
• 28:52
  some adjustments. Just the way that they lined up,
• 28:55
  the linebackers were not as linebackers and safety were not
• 28:57
  as wide or back. They kind of went back to their
• 29:00
  base defense, which made a big difference.
• 29:03
  It seemed like maybe in the first half they had those guys
• 29:05
  more wider out or or a little bit back to maybe cheat and help
• 29:09
  the new corners. But they took the training
• 29:11
  wheels off in the second-half. There was definite improvement.
• 29:15
  You know, Cincinnati also making some mistakes help too.
• 29:17
  And of course, yeah, when you when you shore up some of the
• 29:19
  tackles that that'll help. But this will this will be a big
• 29:23
  game for Iowa State. It seems like that first half
• 29:25
  was just disappointing. I'm curious to see how they
• 29:28
  bounce back this this week. And Carson Hanson, I think he's
• 29:31
  listed as probable. So who picks up?
• 29:35
  I'm not saying he's all of his carries.
• 29:37
  Sam is going to his workloads going to go up.
• 29:40
  Dylan Lee, I thought I would have we, I thought we would have
• 29:42
  seen him perhaps get some involvement last week.
• 29:45
  I don't think he played. In fact, I'm pretty sure he
• 29:46
  didn't. Would Lee be the next guy up?
• 29:49
  And as far as running back carries, assuming Hanson can't
• 29:52
  play. According to Campbell, it sounds
• 29:54
  like Dylan Lee will be getting some carries or getting some
• 29:57
  burn just to kind of help with that rotation.
• 30:01
  I think Abu Sama will get another, it'll be another high
• 30:04
  carry game for him. Either way, I think that this
• 30:06
  could be a very big game for the ground game for Iowa State just
• 30:10
  because Colorado is coming in with the league's worst run
• 30:13
  defense. I mean, they got absolutely
• 30:14
  gashed in their first three games this season.
• 30:17
  So I'm I'm curious to see if Sam was able to build off of his
• 30:20
  season high 96 yard game. I don't know if we're going to
• 30:23
  get a Kansas State in the snow like performance, but I'm sure
• 30:26
  Campbell and the Cyclones and everyone would love that.
• 30:29
  No doubt like to get that running game going and Abu, we
• 30:32
  know it's certainly in them and make those cuts at the right
• 30:34
  time, but going to go a long ways.
• 30:36
  Does this feel like a shootout to you, Eugene?
• 30:38
  Do we anticipate Colorado's got off to really good starts the
• 30:41
  last couple of weeks and faltered in the second-half of
• 30:43
  both of those games? Do you think we're going to see
• 30:45
  high scoring and 3835, something like that?
• 30:49
  I don't know if we'll end up being 3035, but I wouldn't be
• 30:52
  surprised if you know, the final score is like 3524 or maybe 35,
• 30:57
  you know, 28 or 21, whatever, maybe.
• 30:59
  I do think both teams will definitely put up some points.
• 31:03
  It'll be interesting to see, you know, Colorado, I mean, this is
• 31:06
  a team that, like you said, they've blown 14 zero leads in
• 31:09
  each of their last two games. They're going to be hungry to
• 31:11
  get after it. And I would stay.
• 31:14
  Caleb Bacon just put it bluntly, like the defensive performance
• 31:18
  last week was just absolutely unacceptable.
• 31:20
  So they're going to be looking to get back on track.
• 31:22
  But. Colorado plays tough at home.
• 31:24
  The high altitude environment will be interesting and of
• 31:27
  course both teams are dealing with injuries so it'll be about
• 31:30
  who can adapt the best, but I wouldn't be surprised if we saw
• 31:33
  some fireworks on both sides. Speaking of injuries, Conradi,
• 31:37
  do you get the sense listening to Campbell that you know they
• 31:40
  got to buy next week when they return to the field in two weeks
• 31:42
  that Conradi will be part of of Iowa State?
• 31:46
  Will he be? Will he kick, do you think, or
• 31:48
  is he still kind of iffy at this point?
• 31:50
  How would you put it? Yeah, I thought that the injury
• 31:54
  report was pretty comical that they, they kind of left the door
• 31:57
  open just a tiny bit. But I, I don't think he'll,
• 32:00
  he'll play until at least after the bye.
• 32:03
  I, I do think I'm curious to see how many games it'll take before
• 32:06
  they work him back in. One thing I do know is that he
• 32:09
  has started kicking get in practice.
• 32:10
  So he seems to be on the mend and back on the up and up.
• 32:14
  But will it be that first game after the bye or will they ease
• 32:17
  them in and then maybe it's two weeks after the bye?
• 32:19
  We'll see. But it sounds like no matter
• 32:22
  what, we won't see him until after that break.
• 32:24
  Eugene Repay Des Moines Register You and Travis headed to
• 32:27
  Creighton next week for the exhibition game basketball wise.
• 32:32
  Yes, yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
• 32:34
  You know, my sports writing roots are in the Big East, but
• 32:38
  I've never actually gotten to see the CHI Health Center or
• 32:41
  Omaha. So it'll be my first time there.
• 32:43
  Looking forward to seeing Iowa State play some first real look
• 32:47
  basketball of first real look on the basketball court.
• 32:50
  And I'm glad that it's against a marquee opponent rather than,
• 32:54
  you know, back in the day when they would scrimmage or
• 32:56
  exhibition against like D3 schools.
• 32:58
  Preaching the choir, That's crazy.

  don't know, 780 yards and that's you submit.

• 34:08
  What did we do? You had a good week, a four in
• 34:10
  one week 4. And one last week.
• 34:14
  When we are a game ahead of Sean and Lucas or a game and 1/2.
• 34:19
  Right in that range, it's. Close.
• 34:21
  We're up, but we have a lead, but a very narrow lead.
• 34:23
  You had a winning week. I did three and two had another
• 34:26
  best bet. If we stack those up, if we go
• 34:28
  7:00 and 3:00. Yeah, they're not going to catch
• 34:30
  us. Not at all.
• 34:31
  Nope. And they're due for a clunker.
• 34:32
  Well, Lucas had a clunker. I mean, he was on fire and.
• 34:36
  And Sean's ready for 1/2. You think it's Sean Stern
• 34:39
  that'll work Our plays of the week next Circus Sports sponsors
• 34:42
  those Miller and Condon. Glad you're with us on the Iowa
• 34:45
  Sports Radio Network. All right, welcome back our
• 34:47
  final segment of the week. Trent's got some duties tonight
• 34:50
  before we get into our picks. Waukee Northwest Sep, both top
• 34:55
  10 ranked. Yes, Northwest is #1.
• 34:59
  They are undefeated, the only undefeated left in Class 5A with
• 35:03
  Mack Heitlin, their junior quarterback.
• 35:05
  How about these numbers, completing 80% of his passes,
• 35:08
  1500 yards, 21 touchdowns against no interceptions?
• 35:13
  How? Big is he?
• 35:15
  Not real tall and that's going to be the knock.
• 35:18
  But I know he's taking visits to Iowa.
• 35:20
  He is a buttoned up young man. When you say not real tall, is
• 35:24
  he 6 foot? On a good day.
• 35:27
  Yeah, but still. I mean, he's what?
• 35:29
  He's awesome. He's 16 or 17, Yes.
• 35:32
  I don't know how well it. Yeah, 16, yeah, 16 or 17
• 35:35
  somewhere there, Yeah. So maybe a growth spurt?
• 35:37
  Hope so 'cause he can swing it against the three time defending
• 35:41
  state champion SE Poke Rams. And that's on the bull 96.9969
• 35:48
  The bull you guys, you were four and one last week.
• 35:50
  You have the tee box. We are a a narrow leader over
• 35:56
  off the bench. Let's get to it.
• 35:58
  Let's do it. This is an automatic play.
• 36:00
  Michigan State against UCLA let down for UCLA, plus the travel
• 36:04
  on top of it. Michigan State.
• 36:06
  I'm betting on Aidan Chiles and he is going to drive me
• 36:08
  absolutely crazy. I know this one way or the other
• 36:10
  on Saturday, but I'm going to lay it.
• 36:11
  Give me Sparty minus the seven and a half.
• 36:14
  Told you earlier, I love Mizzou Bama let down.
• 36:18
  Look ahead 3 consecutive tough games.
• 36:21
  Missouri, they can run it and they have preview probula, which
• 36:26
  Penn State maybe kept the wrong quarterback, but that's a
• 36:28
  different conversation. I'll grab the three in the hook.
• 36:30
  Give me Mizzou with pick #2. To the NFL we go.
• 36:34
  Now, Speaking of fading teams, I will do the same.
• 36:35
  After the huge Sunday night win, the Patriots go on the road to
• 36:38
  New Orleans. That plucky, better than you
• 36:41
  think Saints team, I will take them plus the 3 1/2.
• 36:44
  I'll do the same with Carolina also getting 3 1/2 at home
• 36:48
  against Dallas. Boy, you're hitting the Dragon
• 36:52
  Panthers in the. Saints, how you got to win in
• 36:54
  the NFL, You wrap things up, What's Monday Night Football?
• 36:58
  Two games. I'm taking one of them, Atlanta,
• 37:01
  plus the four and a half at home against Buffalo Falcons,
• 37:04
  Panther, Saints, Michigan State and Mizzou.
• 37:07
  My 5 for the week. What's your best bet?
• 37:09
  The last one, Atlanta. You like Atlanta on Monday
• 37:12
  night. All right, let's get to it.
• 37:13
  I'm going to start tonight with North Texas.
• 37:15
  I went back and forth. North Texas.
• 37:17
  I read so much about those guys during the offseason, thought
• 37:21
  maybe this is the Group of Five team.
• 37:23
  South Florida, such a great start, right?
• 37:24
  The two wins that they had, everyone's talking about them.
• 37:28
  But I'm going to lay the point and a half, take North Texas.
• 37:31
  It'll be the first sell if they've ever had Maybe North
• 37:34
  Texas minus a point and a half, I'm going to take USC.
• 37:37
  Michigan is a nice team. USC is a nice team.
• 37:40
  It's a team. Going West doesn't usually work
• 37:42
  out well. It's less than a field goal.
• 37:44
  I'll lay it. Give me USC -2 1/2 to the NFL.
• 37:48
  Tampa Bay guys look so darn good.
• 37:50
  I think San Francisco's a fake. I do.
• 37:54
  Niners have been a nice story, but I'm going to take Tampa Bay.
• 37:58
  Lay the field goal in that one. What am I missing?
• 38:01
  Why are the Steelers only 5 1/2 point favourites over Cleveland?
• 38:04
  Because they're not very good. Neither is Cleveland.
• 38:07
  I mean, Gabriel was good, but you know where they were last
• 38:11
  week? They were across the pond.
• 38:14
  Usually you get a bye week after that, I'll lay the five and a
• 38:17
  half. My best bet of the week, it's
• 38:19
  the Rams. They've got to be smarting off
• 38:21
  that Thursday game. Two weeks last Thursday, they
• 38:25
  take on a just depleted Baltimore team.
• 38:28
  Noel, Lamar, Jackson defense. It's it's not good.
• 38:33
  I will take the Rams as my best bet.
• 38:35
  Steelers, Tampa Bay, USC and North Texas.
• 38:38
  That will do it for our picks. Who advances to their respective
• 38:42
  championship series. The Blue Jays will play.
• 38:45
  The Mariners, The Dodgers will play.
• 38:48
  The Brewers. You party pooper.
• 38:49
  You. You.
• 38:50
  Already got your Blue Jays in there?
• 38:52
  Yeah, but it's better. It's better for the Cubs when
• 38:54
  the Cubs are still. Playing well, I hope I wrong, I
• 38:56
  would love to. I would too.
• 38:58
  Boy, Wrigley Field was bananas last night, wasn't it?
• 39:00
  Yeah, we want everything in Wisconsin to fall apart this
• 39:02
  week. Yeah, that would work too.
• 39:04
  Well said. Even the Packers, you've got
• 39:06
  them in survival. Let's don't go that far, Don't
• 39:09
  go that far. That'll do it.
