- 0:03Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to The Daily Play with Joy Taylor.
- 0:05Speaker 2: Make sure you hit subscribe and follow us on social
- 0:08Speaker 2: at The Daily Play Joy Taylor. Before we get to
- 0:10Speaker 2: the amazing slate of NFL games that we got to
- 0:15Speaker 2: watch on Sunday, we have to talk about Saturday night.
- 0:20Speaker 1: Oh, Texas.
- 0:21Speaker 2: An unbelievable college football game. The biggest of the college
- 0:26Speaker 2: football seasons so far and one of legend status that
- 0:30Speaker 2: we will be talking about for quite some time. Texas
- 0:32Speaker 2: climbed back from 20 points, down 20 points, to Ohio
- 0:36Speaker 2: State in the fourth quarter to win a thriller in Austin.
- 0:39Speaker 1: A result of that win and.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Some key losses around college football put Texas as number
- 0:46Speaker 2: one in the AP rankings. The Buckeyes also fell out
- 0:49Speaker 2: of the top five for the first time in two seasons.
- 0:52Speaker 2: So Ohio State had this game in the bag, 23-3
- 0:54Speaker 2: to start the fourth quarter, but 21 straight points behind.
- 0:58Speaker 2: from Arch Manning and Hollywood Smothers stole the win from
- 1:02Speaker 2: the Buckeyes, an absolutely unbelievable performance from Texas. He said,
- 1:08Speaker 2: you dream of playing games like this, hosting the number
- 1:10Speaker 2: one team in the country at home.
- 1:12Speaker 1: I mean, how about that? Getting a win by one point.
- 1:14Speaker 1: Let's go, baby.
- 1:16Speaker 2: Texas comeback marked the first time since 2004 that a
- 1:19Speaker 2: top ranked team has lost a 20 point fourth quarter lead.
- 1:24Speaker 2: And it was the biggest comeback of head coach Steve
- 1:26Speaker 2: Sarkeesian's coaching career, who also blew off Holyro at the
- 1:30Speaker 2: end of the game, which I do not appreciate.
- 1:31Speaker 1: And do not think is good practice.
- 1:33Speaker 2: He said, we've had some really big moments, but this
- 1:35Speaker 2: one is special when you beat the number one team
- 1:37Speaker 2: in the country in the fashion that we did to
- 1:39Speaker 2: come back from that way to represent Longhorn Nation, represent
- 1:41Speaker 2: the name on our chest, Texas. I think it means
- 1:44Speaker 2: a lot. This game was so crazy. I think that
- 1:46Speaker 2: Arch Manning showed a lot of resilience. I think that
- 1:49Speaker 2: a win like this for a program like Texas establishes
- 1:52Speaker 2: a great.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Amount of confidence.
- 1:54Speaker 2: I think it shows the confidence that they had and
- 1:56Speaker 2: the talent that they already have in the building, that
- 1:59Speaker 2: they trust in their system, that they trust in each other.
- 2:02Speaker 1: A team coming back.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Like Texas on a team like Ohio State in this
- 2:09Speaker 2: fashion gives you a certain amount of energy and confidence
- 2:13Speaker 2: in the building that just cannot be inserted without that
- 2:16Speaker 2: kind of.
- 2:18Speaker 1: Circumstance.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Ohio State is a great team. And they dominated this
- 2:22Speaker 2: game through the first half. So for them to come
- 2:24Speaker 2: out and continue to stay in the game, to not
- 2:27Speaker 2: lose heart, to not lose focus, and just mail it
- 2:30Speaker 2: in to come back in this fashion, I think is
- 2:32Speaker 2: a very, very big deal. It was an unbelievable performance.
- 2:35Speaker 2: We will be talking about this performance for a long time,
- 2:37Speaker 2: particularly when it comes to Arch Manning. So this game
- 2:41Speaker 2: will play a major role in what happens at the
- 2:43Speaker 2: end of the college football season when we talk about
- 2:45Speaker 2: the playoffs. A unbelievable meltdown by the Buckeyes. But in
- 2:50Speaker 2: the end, incredible performance by Texas in Arch Manning. He
- 2:54Speaker 2: completed 11 of his last 15 throws to finish with
- 2:57Speaker 2: 23 of 37, 195 yards.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Rushed for eight times for 24 yards as they came back.
- 3:02Speaker 2: An incredible, incredible college football performance. Even if you're not
- 3:09Speaker 2: a Texas fan... Obviously, Ohio State doesn't want to hear
- 3:12Speaker 2: anything about this. I mean, you have to be impressed
- 3:14Speaker 2: with that. When you're looking around the college football landscape
- 3:18Speaker 2: right now, it is incredibly competitive. And this matchup between
- 3:24Speaker 2: four and one this early in the season for them
- 3:26Speaker 2: to have a performance like this, for them to come
- 3:28Speaker 2: back from an abysmal first quarter or first half, I'm
- 3:32Speaker 2: just incredibly impressed by them. And I can't say enough
- 3:35Speaker 2: about Arch Manning because the pressure that is already on
- 3:38Speaker 2: him as a student athlete and to be in this
- 3:41Speaker 2: situation where you know, what's going to be said about you,
- 3:44Speaker 2: you know, what's going to be said about your program
- 3:46Speaker 2: and know what this means for the post season to
- 3:49Speaker 2: stay locked in, in that fashion and give that performance
- 3:53Speaker 2: just really, really impressive. Shout out to my friend, Monique.
- 3:55Speaker 2: I know she's having an incredible weekend as a Texas fan.
- 3:58Speaker 2: So switching from Texas to the Texans in the early
- 4:01Speaker 2: window on Sunday, we had a incredible AFC matchup between
- 4:05Speaker 2: the bills and the Texans and they delivered playoff caliber football.
- 4:08Speaker 2: back and forth battle. Buffalo came out on top 36
- 4:11Speaker 2: to 61. I'm sorry, 36 to 31 in Houston. And
- 4:15Speaker 2: this game had everything. A lot of high scoring games
- 4:19Speaker 2: in the first NFL Sunday, by the way. Josh Allen
- 4:22Speaker 2: and CJ Stroud were dealing, had eight lead changes, including
- 4:26Speaker 2: three in the fourth quarter alone. David Montgomery scored three
- 4:30Speaker 2: touchdowns in his Texans debut. DJ Moore went for a
- 4:33Speaker 2: hundred yards in the touchdown in his Bills debut before
- 4:36Speaker 2: sustaining a late injury late in the fourth. So hopefully
- 4:38Speaker 2: it's a minor thing. And Joe Brady, huge win in
- 4:43Speaker 2: his coaching debut. He said, I live for these moments.
- 4:46Speaker 1: I love it. I looked at the O-line and I
- 4:48Speaker 1: was like, this is perfect.
- 4:49Speaker 2: You don't want to shy away from these moments and look,
- 4:51Speaker 2: I'm not playing in the game. It's easy for me
- 4:52Speaker 2: to say, I love this one. I'm not getting hit
- 4:54Speaker 2: by a 300 pounder, but that's why I coach. I
- 4:56Speaker 2: coach for those critical moments. I think this is a
- 5:01Speaker 2: very important win for the Bills and this, how this
- 5:04Speaker 2: game went was very important for both of.
- 5:06Speaker 1: These teams in the AFC.
- 5:08Speaker 2: It comes down to critical moments, which this game had
- 5:10Speaker 2: a lot of. And we know that the postseason comes
- 5:13Speaker 2: with a lot of critical moments. It's only week one,
- 5:15Speaker 2: but we are going to way overreact on a Monday
- 5:19Speaker 2: to week one because this is what we have and
- 5:20Speaker 2: we've been dying for football. I think the Texans and
- 5:23Speaker 2: the Bills gave us what we needed to see from
- 5:26Speaker 2: two teams that we expect to see in the postseason
- 5:28Speaker 2: and we expect to be competing consistently.
- 5:30Speaker 1: For a Super Bowl in the AFC.
- 5:32Speaker 2: An incredible debut for Joe Brady, who's someone we've been
- 5:35Speaker 2: talking about as a lead man for a long time.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Kamari Lasseter had a chance to possibly win this game
- 5:39Speaker 2: for the Texans with less than two minutes to play.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Josh Allen threw up a meatball, and Lasseter wasn't able
- 5:44Speaker 2: to come down with it in the end zone, and
- 5:45Speaker 2: the Texans were up 31-30 at that point. The Bills
- 5:48Speaker 2: still had three timeouts, but a first down would have
- 5:50Speaker 2: won it for Houston, or should have won it for Houston,
- 5:52Speaker 2: and Josh Allen went back to Josh Palmer for the
- 5:55Speaker 2: game-winning touchdown on the next play, and that's how close
- 5:56Speaker 2: it's going to be. CJ Stroud needs to clean up
- 5:59Speaker 2: his turnovers. Ball security is obviously a major, major thing.
- 6:03Speaker 2: And when you're talking about going up against a team
- 6:05Speaker 2: like the Bills, a really great team with a lot
- 6:08Speaker 2: of experience, MVP, quarterback, you cannot give them extra opportunities.
- 6:13Speaker 1: And the Texans know that.
- 6:15Speaker 2: And I think this was a really great statement for
- 6:17Speaker 2: CJ Stroud as well, considering his contract situation. So despite
- 6:21Speaker 2: the loss, I think there's a lot of great things
- 6:23Speaker 2: to take from this for the Texans. And... Personally, I
- 6:28Speaker 2: just think this was a really good situation for the AFC.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Both these teams competed at a very high level. Coming
- 6:34Speaker 2: up next, the Bills have Detroit, then the Chargers, and
- 6:40Speaker 2: then the Patriots. And the Texans have Cincinnati, Indy, and.
- 6:44Speaker 1: Dallas as their next three games.
- 6:47Speaker 2: But incredible start to the season for both of these teams,
- 6:50Speaker 2: particularly for the Bills, obviously, because they got the win. Finally,
- 6:53Speaker 2: the Ravens handled business on Sunday, starting with the post-Harbaugh
- 6:58Speaker 2: era with a big win. I think this was a
- 7:01Speaker 2: huge statement for Jesse Minter, the new coach for the Ravens,
- 7:05Speaker 2: who only allowed the Colts one score per quarter.
- 7:09Speaker 1: And Lamar Jackson had a huge game. The offense was incredible.
- 7:13Speaker 2: 31 first half points and a lot of boxes checked
- 7:16Speaker 2: for the Ravens in the 41-23 win. for Baltimore on
- 7:20Speaker 2: the road. Lamar Jackson threw for a very efficient 324 yards,
- 7:23Speaker 2: one touchdown running in a second. Derrick Henry, King Henry
- 7:27Speaker 2: chewed up the Colts defense, 144 yards, three touchdowns on
- 7:30Speaker 2: 24 carries, a record setting day for him. Zay Flowers
- 7:33Speaker 2: caught five balls for 150 yards, including a 54 yard
- 7:36Speaker 2: explosive play that went for a touchdown. Mark Andrews, four
- 7:40Speaker 2: of six for an average of more than 12 yards
- 7:43Speaker 2: per catch. And the defense did what they needed to
- 7:45Speaker 2: do as well. I think this is a great situation
- 7:49Speaker 2: for Baltimore. Week one, huge win for the new head coach.
- 7:54Speaker 2: We had a lot of questions about what Baltimore was
- 7:56Speaker 2: going to look like. They are a legendary, well-run franchise
- 8:00Speaker 2: that is always in the Super Bowl conversation, a very
- 8:03Speaker 2: disciplined team, and this is a new regime for them.
- 8:06Speaker 2: So I think this is a very, very important statement win.
- 8:10Speaker 2: There was some hate going on for Lamar Jackson, as
- 8:11Speaker 2: there usually is before the season started. So I think
- 8:14Speaker 2: this is an absolutely... perfect way to come out and
- 8:18Speaker 2: start the season. Derrick Henry getting 125 career rushing touchdowns,
- 8:22Speaker 2: two more than Hall of Famer Marcus Allen. The offense
- 8:26Speaker 2: looking the way that it did, controlling Indy the entire game.
- 8:30Speaker 2: It's an absolute statement win by the new head coach
- 8:33Speaker 2: and for the organization as a whole and for Lamar Jackson.
- 8:38Speaker 2: And I think this sets the tone for the rest
- 8:41Speaker 2: of the season, going back to the Bills, the Texans,
- 8:44Speaker 2: the Ravens.
- 8:45Speaker 1: These are statement wins that really.
- 8:47Speaker 2: Establish who is going to be the powerhouses to start
- 8:51Speaker 2: the season in the AFC. They have set their own
- 8:54Speaker 2: standards now, and we can go from there. I think
- 8:57Speaker 2: if they had stumbled out of the gates, it would
- 8:58Speaker 2: have been a different conversation. So I think this is
- 9:00Speaker 2: a really, really important win for the Ravens. And it
- 9:03Speaker 2: says a lot about what they are capable of and
- 9:07Speaker 2: what Jesse Minter is bringing with this new chapter of
- 9:11Speaker 2: the Ravens organization. Now, obviously, we have a lot more
- 9:14Speaker 2: NFL to get to, as we will throughout the week,
- 9:17Speaker 2: a lot more incredible games to break down. But before
- 9:20Speaker 2: we get out of here, I want to give flowers
- 9:22Speaker 2: to the U.S. women for defending the FIBA World Cup crown.
- 9:25Speaker 2: It was close in the first half, but they pulled
- 9:27Speaker 2: away for a 97-79 win, thanks in large part to
- 9:30Speaker 2: Brianna Stewart, game-high 22.10 rebounds, Jackie Young. 18 points on 50%
- 9:35Speaker 2: shooting and Caitlin.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Clark added 12 points in 13 minutes off the bench.
- 9:39Speaker 2: So congrats to the U S women's team on another
- 9:43Speaker 2: FIBA world cup round. Thanks so much for hanging out
