- 0:41Speaker 1: Yeah, my house with the two TV set up, yeah, the two TV set up and he's getting ready for NC State Miami.
- 0:47Speaker 1: We're down here looking at the field.
- 0:51Speaker 1: So, guys, I get in.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Last night we were.
- 0:54Speaker 1: I know we were going to do one yesterday and I'm going to say it and I keep saying I can't stop talking about it it's the Wi-Fi.
- 1:01Speaker 1: There's no Wi-Fi at the hotel, so this is our first time getting the Internet so easily.
- 1:07Speaker 5: The 12th time I've heard the story.
- 1:09Speaker 5: Yeah, retold.
- 1:10Speaker 5: What's on it?
- 1:11Speaker 5: A bunch of things.
- 1:14Speaker 4: No Comfort in Allegedly a comfort oh okay, you don't want to go there Anyway you got to get up Elon Musk and get some.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Starlink Right Right.
- 1:22Speaker 1: So, that's what big time Noel said.
- 1:25Speaker 1: Actually.
- 1:26Speaker 1: Let's go to Jimmy Mann.
- 1:28Speaker 1: What are you looking forward to in this game?
- 1:31Speaker 1: What am I looking forward to?
- 1:33Speaker 1: Do you want to?
- 1:34Speaker 5: see.
- 1:34Speaker 5: Well, I'm looking forward to Florida State's past defense, you know, continuing the streak and keeping the starting quarterbacks under 100 yards.
- 1:41Speaker 5: I think it's three weeks in a row now.
- 1:42Speaker 5: I'm going to have a good opportunity here.
- 1:45Speaker 5: Also, you know, I kind of want to see if we can get the passing game going early.
- 1:50Speaker 5: Pitt's defense is a little more formidable against the run, so you know, I'm looking for Jordan Travis to come out sharp man.
- 1:58Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, he's been playing well, did you just let you guys know?
- 2:03Speaker 1: Get the Gators are already losing 14 to 0.
- 2:06Speaker 5: No, that's 14 to 7.
- 2:07Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah.
- 2:10Speaker 4: Maybe I should get this two TV set up going.
- 2:12Speaker 4: Yeah, all right.
- 2:15Speaker 1: So, justin, justin, what do you want to see today from Miami when they play in C state?
- 2:22Speaker 4: I got to see.
- 2:23Speaker 4: I got to see the pass rush dominate, kind of like Jimmy was just saying, with FSU, the key on defense for Miami is Ruben Bain, the freshman monster he is a monster yeah.
- 2:35Speaker 4: He is so freaking good dude.
- 2:37Speaker 4: But yeah, if he, if we can get some pass rush going on NC state, get their offense discombobulated, then we might be able to score 24 and beat them 24 to 20.
- 2:49Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 2:51Speaker 5: NC state is having a lot of problems on offense.
- 2:53Speaker 5: I don't know how they won that game.
- 2:55Speaker 4: I'm really interested to see if TVD continues to make these bonehead decisions.
- 3:01Speaker 4: Right, right this is it?
- 3:02Speaker 4: Okay, I want to see the freshman kid man.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, all right, and then let's go to Al.
- 3:11Speaker 1: What do you want to see out of the rattlers today in Huntsville?
- 3:23Speaker 3: 100 is in the building Rolling right on to that letter, man to the celebration.
- 3:28Speaker 3: But we already won swaggy, so let's keep going.
- 3:31Speaker 3: So every week is a different matchup for us.
- 3:34Speaker 3: So we've got to keep going and keep playing man, so we don't get to the great football going.
- 3:38Speaker 3: I'm just happy, you guys up at Pittsburgh.
- 3:40Speaker 1: Too bad, you guys don't have no wife.
- 3:42Speaker 1: Haha, that's at the hotel.
- 3:43Speaker 1: We're here now.
- 3:44Speaker 1: I'm the great.
- 3:55Speaker 3: Oh.
- 4:02Speaker 1: That's right.
- 4:03Speaker 1: Um, well, let's go back to room Bane for a second.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Have you seen a freshman like this for Miami, Justin oh.
- 4:14Speaker 4: Man, I it would have to.
- 4:16Speaker 4: I'd have to go back to when I was a little kid, maybe Um cuz I, I mean even like, think like the the early 2000s Keynes, not as a freshman, I, like Vince Wolford, didn't dominate like this as a freshman on the D line Right.
- 4:30Speaker 4: I mean you, you'd have to go back to, maybe like a, like a Cortez Kennedy, or maybe maybe a Russell Maryland.
- 4:36Speaker 4: Russell Maryland is probably the, the last freshman D lineman I see dominate like this in Miami.
- 4:40Speaker 4: It was probably Russell Maryland in the early 90s.
- 4:43Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, well, just as a Freshman yeah, as a true freshman sap sap was.
- 4:51Speaker 4: The sap was behind the rock on the death chart.
- 4:57Speaker 5: He came in as a tight end and they ended up converting him to defensive tackle well, that for Florida State, I know.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Have you heard anything about Johnny Wilson?
- 5:07Speaker 3: He's out.
- 5:08Speaker 4: He is out for this game for this game.
- 5:09Speaker 4: So, hey, you're got Keon Coleman.
- 5:12Speaker 1: Keon Coleman will be the main target.
- 5:14Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah but Hopefully you see, some other guys step up you know, yeah, the opportunity for some other receivers get the ball.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Yeah, well, you had eight different receivers, get it, you know, at least one reception over 20 yards last week.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Okay, what for Florida State?
- 5:30Speaker 1: What's Pitt's playing gonna be today?
- 5:33Speaker 5: Offensively.
- 5:33Speaker 5: I think they're gonna try to lean on the run game.
- 5:35Speaker 5: That's.
- 5:36Speaker 5: You know, if they've had any success it's kind of come through the ground.
- 5:40Speaker 5: I don't think with an inexperienced quarterback that they're going to want to.
- 5:44Speaker 5: You know, narduzzi doesn't like to sit back there and chunk it a ton anyway, but I they'll lean on that and then, you know, try to get pressured on Travis man.
- 5:52Speaker 5: It's the story to stop them.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, and I think Jordan Travis is in the Heisman race.
- 6:00Speaker 1: I don't think he's the front runner or anything, but you want to see if he keeps if he can.
- 6:05Speaker 2: You know Shaddu will go win at the D-O-S-N.
- 6:07Speaker 2: He's going to buy that Heisman.
- 6:10Speaker 1: No man, you got to have a better record to win the Heisman.
- 6:14Speaker 4: He's already got a documentary deal with Netflix about Shaddu or Heisman winning oh yeah, oh yeah.
- 6:21Speaker 1: Right, oh, all right.
- 6:23Speaker 1: So you know we got this could be.
- 6:26Speaker 1: You think Miami or Florida State have struggled this week at all, with the big rivalry game coming up next, I'll ask you first, justin.
- 6:35Speaker 4: Miami's for sure going to struggle because we're just not that good Florida State shouldn't.
- 6:41Speaker 4: If this game was at noon in Pittsburgh I'd be a lot more nervous for FSU because of that sleepy noon bullshit.
- 6:47Speaker 4: But I think FSU rolls against Pitt and I think Miami wins in another dogfight Like we've had the past.
- 6:56Speaker 4: I mean, we've had like back to back overtime games, man.
- 6:59Speaker 4: I mean, I see another similar thing where Miami takes the field.
- 7:04Speaker 4: They look better in their uniforms and then they just play like crap and struggle to beat an NC State team.
- 7:12Speaker 4: But I think we get the win.
- 7:13Speaker 5: Okay, what's the status of Van Dyke?
- 7:15Speaker 5: He's going to start this game, right, because I mean I know there's been talk of him being not 100% healthy, but I think he's still going to give it a go tonight against NC State.
- 7:25Speaker 5: But I'm with you, man, the young guy, he looks like he has something.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Yeah, All right.
- 7:34Speaker 1: This is a big day in college football.
- 7:35Speaker 1: A lot of things going to play out today.
- 7:37Speaker 1: I'm also looking forward to Virginia Tech Louisville.
- 7:41Speaker 1: I know I'll be having my on that score.
- 7:43Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a big one for the.
- 7:44Speaker 1: ACC Chris Cotter.
- 7:46Speaker 4: What a board to bedlam In the airport Final straw.
- 7:49Speaker 5: I'm blabbing.
- 7:50Speaker 5: Yeah, man, he's going to come on next week.
- 7:53Speaker 1: He has time in between his arm sets to get on the show.
- 7:56Speaker 1: He's doing the game over in Louisville.
- 7:59Speaker 5: Just get on while you're doing.
- 8:00Speaker 5: Hammer curls man.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:02Speaker 5: That's what I do.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Well, well, we're going to go down to the field for a second, so one lot.
- 8:07Speaker 1: Do you have a final score for us today, al, and up in Huntsville.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Oh yeah, do you know I should have.
- 8:13Speaker 2: We're keeping you guys up.
- 8:14Speaker 1: No, I meant what's your prediction, man?
- 8:16Speaker 2: Oh, what's my prediction?
- 8:17Speaker 1: for the score.
- 8:19Speaker 2: Man, I'm thinking something like a 38 to 13.
- 8:21Speaker 2: Yeah, let's shoot for a 38 to 13.
- 8:24Speaker 2: I think Musa is really going to get off the date.
- 8:27Speaker 2: Man, I want to see Musa pass for 400 yards.
- 8:30Speaker 1: All right, and how about you, justin?
- 8:32Speaker 1: What's your prediction for the score in Raleigh?
- 8:36Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I'm going to stick with that 24 to 20.
- 8:40Speaker 1: Miami wins in a really ugly, crappy game All right, and then we didn't get big time no score prediction.
- 8:48Speaker 1: But we're going to get it right now 51 17 is big time no score prediction.
