0:23

SPEAKER_02: Alright, folks, we are now gonna do some quick six.
0:34
SPEAKER_00: Quick six, week number eight coming up.
0:37
SPEAKER_00: A quick little recap as to where we were last week.
0:41
SPEAKER_00: It was a carnage week in college football as well as the quick six.
0:45
SPEAKER_00: Mike Wade scored two correctly.
0:47
SPEAKER_00: I scored two correctly.
0:48
SPEAKER_00: Mark, you got one.
0:51
SPEAKER_00: And there's no and there has been no there's been no coach fired yet.
0:56
SPEAKER_00: No head football coach has been fired.
0:59
SPEAKER_00: So that game continues.
1:00
SPEAKER_00: Here's what we missed.
1:02
SPEAKER_00: Florida State scored more touchdowns than Malachi Tony.
1:05
SPEAKER_00: That was a unanimous a unanimous miss.
1:08
SPEAKER_00: Faison Brandon didn't play versus Alabama.
1:11
SPEAKER_00: That was a unanimous miss.
1:14
SPEAKER_00: Austin Simmons threw more passing yards than Trinidad.
1:18
SPEAKER_00: Bear Bachmeyer.
1:19
SPEAKER_01: Because I was right on that one.
1:21
SPEAKER_01: They fell back to the show.
1:22
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because they were catch-up.
1:23
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
1:23
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but they never really caught it.
1:25
SPEAKER_01: But yeah.
1:26
SPEAKER_00: You were right about that one, Mark.
1:27
SPEAKER_00: Then Bear Bachmeyer, I said he was going to rush for one and pass for one.
1:31
SPEAKER_00: Me and Mike said yes.
1:32
SPEAKER_00: Mark, you said no.
1:33
SPEAKER_00: But he also had a reception touchdown.
1:36
SPEAKER_00: He had one, one, and two.
1:38
SPEAKER_00: And so Bachmeyer went off.
1:41
SPEAKER_00: Jeremiah Smith only scored one touchdown, not two.
1:44
SPEAKER_00: So that's where we are.
1:46
SPEAKER_00: The the tracker says that Mark Franzen, you have 19 points in this contest.
1:51
SPEAKER_00: Mike Wade, you have 24 points.
1:54
SPEAKER_00: And I have I only have 25.
1:56
SPEAKER_00: So the lead is entirely in reach for all three of us.
2:00
SPEAKER_00: Mark, you could catch up real quick to us.
2:03
SPEAKER_01: I could shut you out and still only tie for the lead.
2:06
SPEAKER_00: And then tie for the lead.
2:06
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:07
SPEAKER_00: Hey, it's a long year.
2:08
SPEAKER_00: Listen to Coach Signal.
2:09
SPEAKER_01: I'm saying there's a chance.
2:10
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
2:10
SPEAKER_00: Listen to Coach Signetti.
2:12
SPEAKER_00: It's a long year.
2:12
SPEAKER_00: We'll get it right next time.
2:14
SPEAKER_00: Okay, question number one for week eight.
2:19
SPEAKER_00: We are gonna stay with Coach Signetti, and we're going to Michigan with the Indiana Hoosiers visiting.
2:27
SPEAKER_00: Um Tommy Carr rushed for a touchdown this weekend.
2:32
SPEAKER_00: Congratulations, Tommy.
2:34
SPEAKER_00: Beaten Penn State.
2:35
SPEAKER_00: He looks like your your next quarterback from Michigan.
2:39
SPEAKER_00: But is that true?
2:40
SPEAKER_00: Is Bryce Underwood actually done?
2:43
SPEAKER_00: I'm not totally sure.
2:44
SPEAKER_00: And coach Coach Whittingham in Michigan is not gonna say.
2:48
SPEAKER_00: He said, We've got a plan going forward and we're not gonna tell you.
2:51
SPEAKER_00: Thanks for asking, but don't bother.
2:53
SPEAKER_00: And so the question is, will Tommy Carr not really play, not only play, but will Tommy Carr score a touchdown at Indiana?
3:03
SPEAKER_00: Excuse me, at Michigan, hosting Indiana on Saturday.
3:07
SPEAKER_00: Will he account for a touchdown?
3:08
SPEAKER_00: Now he did throw for one.
3:10
SPEAKER_00: Throwing, yeah, yes, throwing or rushing, or receiving, honestly, as Beer taught us.
3:15
SPEAKER_00: So he did throw for one backed against somebody awful UTEP in week number two or something, and he rushed for one.
3:22
SPEAKER_00: So he has one rushing, one throwing.
3:24
SPEAKER_00: Is he gonna account for a touchdown against the mighty and pissed off Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday?
3:31
SPEAKER_01: I will go first on this one.
3:34
SPEAKER_01: As the trail person, I should go first to set the tone.
3:38
SPEAKER_01: You should.
3:39
SPEAKER_01: Um Indiana, I said earlier, Indiana's defensive line was very impressive.
3:43
SPEAKER_01: So I can see them slowing down Sabien Hyder.
3:48
SPEAKER_01: But I do think Tommy Carr throws a touchdown pass in this game.
3:51
SPEAKER_01: He was very impressive.
3:52
SPEAKER_01: Kind of like JJ McCarthy was impressive yesterday for the New York Giants.
3:56
SPEAKER_01: I think Michigan quarterbacks are back once Underwood was put back on the shelf.
4:00
SPEAKER_01: I see Tommy Carr.
4:01
SPEAKER_01: Tommy Carr, grandson of Lloyd Carr, brother of CJ Carr, definitely scoring a touchdown this week.
4:07
SPEAKER_02: I think he's gonna get two.
4:09
SPEAKER_02: I think if the spreads totals 41 and a half, I think he's he might run for one and throw for one.
4:13
SPEAKER_02: What Tommy Carr does is he does what Michigan wants to do, which is get downhill, run the ball.
4:17
SPEAKER_02: I'm not saying Tommy Carr is great.
4:19
SPEAKER_02: I'm not saying he's gonna be JJ McCarthy, who's obviously national championship winner in Michigan.
4:23
SPEAKER_02: I'm not maybe he might he might evolve into that, but he doesn't have to be.
4:26
SPEAKER_02: He just fits better what they want to do.
4:28
SPEAKER_02: I think they're gonna have some success.
4:29
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if they're gonna win.
4:31
SPEAKER_02: They're seven-point dogs.
4:32
SPEAKER_02: Indiana, we just do we just we just went off with singing their praises for good reasons.
4:37
SPEAKER_02: They're really, really good.
4:38
SPEAKER_02: But now that Michigan, I think offensively is working a much more cohesive, good direction, I think you're gonna see some real gains.
4:45
SPEAKER_02: Much like you saw that with Tennessee and George McIntyre.
4:48
SPEAKER_02: I think Tommy Carr fits what Michigan wants to do well.
4:50
SPEAKER_02: So yeah, he's gonna get one.
4:52
SPEAKER_02: I don't know if he's gonna win, but him getting one or two wouldn't surprise me at all.
4:55
SPEAKER_02: So I'm gonna say yes.
4:58
SPEAKER_00: Indiana just held Ohio State to 19 points.
5:03
SPEAKER_00: And I think they might blank Tommy Car.
5:06
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna say no.
5:07
SPEAKER_00: Uh I'm gonna zag against you guys.
5:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, they he's a freshman.
5:12
SPEAKER_00: They might just blank him.
5:14
SPEAKER_00: They've they have seen a little videotape on him right now.
5:17
SPEAKER_00: He can run, sure.
5:18
SPEAKER_00: If they get anything done, the Michigan Wolverines, it's gonna be on the ground.
5:22
SPEAKER_00: I don't think they're gonna let him throw against against them.
5:25
SPEAKER_00: So I'll say no.
5:28
SPEAKER_00: And here we go, question number two.
5:32
SPEAKER_00: Let's go to Texas.
5:35
SPEAKER_00: Ooh, the Texas Longhorns have now lost two games.
5:39
SPEAKER_00: Woof.
5:40
SPEAKER_00: And I think it's another question about who is gonna play quarterback for this team as well.
5:46
SPEAKER_00: Said something about, yeah, anything's possible, anything's possible.
5:50
SPEAKER_00: So is it possible that Arch gets benched against Old Miss, who just demolishes teams lately, apparently, uh, with defense included.
6:01
SPEAKER_00: So the question is gonna be uh, will non-Arch Manning quarterbacks attempt over three and a half passes?
6:11
SPEAKER_00: And that's just a stat that's gonna tell me that they have put another quarterback in there to do the work of the starting quarterback.
6:20
SPEAKER_00: So I don't want to say, okay, one, you know, a quarterback comes in for one play or a wide receiver throws a pass, right?
6:27
SPEAKER_00: So I'm I'm looking for an actual quarterback to get some quality playing time.
6:31
SPEAKER_00: Do you think that's gonna happen or not?
6:33
SPEAKER_02: So I'm gonna go ahead and admit to you guys one of my punter go for it for tomorrow was going to be that this Saturday, this coming Saturday, was gonna be Arch's last game as a tech last game as a starting quarterback for Texas.
6:43
SPEAKER_02: Yes.
6:44
SPEAKER_02: Ole Miss is gonna go in there, they're gonna beat him.
6:46
SPEAKER_02: They're and this new quarterback, I his name I can't remember.
6:49
SPEAKER_02: It's Casey, I think his name I can't remember what it is.
6:52
SPEAKER_02: He's going in and they're gonna be from behind, and he's gonna be throwing it.
6:54
SPEAKER_02: So, yes, this is I think that this coming week, Bryce Underwood is a lot like Arch Manning.
7:00
SPEAKER_02: Arch Manning has even more sample size of Texas.
7:03
SPEAKER_02: They know exactly who Arch Manning is, and their offense is ranked like 100th, 100th and 20th.
7:08
SPEAKER_02: It's terrible, it's not good enough.
7:10
SPEAKER_02: Everybody knows who Arch Manning is at this point, and he is not gonna be a Texas next year either.
7:15
SPEAKER_02: I think this coming Saturday is the last game that Arch Manning starts for Texas, barring injury, the backups going at some point, and yes, because they're gonna be down by 10 at that point, he's gonna be slinging it.
7:27
SPEAKER_02: So I'm taking over non-Arch Manning, three and a half passes all day, baby.
7:33
SPEAKER_01: No way, Arch isn't going anywhere.
7:35
SPEAKER_01: You don't bench the Manny name, you let him throw, throw, throw.
7:40
SPEAKER_01: There's I I mean, the I mean, the kid's got all this stuff going against him.
7:46
SPEAKER_01: Everybody has such high expectations for him.
7:50
SPEAKER_01: He's just gotta take the opportunity to learn.
7:52
SPEAKER_01: You don't learn unless you play, unless you're a real developmental person like Underwood, who would benefit from watching.
7:59
SPEAKER_01: Arch just needs to play football.
8:01
SPEAKER_01: The more he plays, the better he'll get.
8:03
SPEAKER_01: We are not gonna see the backup, barring injury.
8:06
SPEAKER_01: I don't see an injury in this one.
8:08
SPEAKER_01: He'll be in there.
8:09
SPEAKER_01: Arch, all the passes.
8:11
SPEAKER_01: No, no way.
8:13
SPEAKER_01: Yep.
8:15
SPEAKER_00: Arisi is his name.
8:16
SPEAKER_00: Go ahead, go ahead, Darren.
8:17
SPEAKER_00: There you go.
8:18
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
8:18
SPEAKER_00: I got a lot of respect for both of those answers.
8:21
SPEAKER_00: I can I can easily see a 50-50 shot between what you both just said.
8:26
SPEAKER_00: I I'm gonna side with Mark on this one.
8:27
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna say no.
8:28
SPEAKER_00: I think that Coach Sark is just gonna let Arch stew in his own doing, and it's not gonna be good, but he's gonna leave him in there for a little bit of respect.
8:41
SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
8:42
SPEAKER_00: I mean, maybe it's maybe it's more respectful to take a poor quarterback out when you're down by 20 points at home.
8:49
SPEAKER_00: But I think he's just gonna let him sit in there, and what you said, Michael, will come true.
8:54
SPEAKER_00: This is gonna be his last significant playing time of the year.
8:58
SPEAKER_00: Arch Manning, really?
9:00
SPEAKER_00: Woop hard to believe.
9:02
SPEAKER_01: Texas doesn't have a long, they don't allow a long leash on anybody there from a coaching perspective.
9:08
SPEAKER_01: If you don't win, they will find someone who will.
9:10
SPEAKER_01: So I mean, Storf might be gone too after this season.
9:14
SPEAKER_02: Yep.
9:14
unknown: Yep.
9:15
SPEAKER_01: I don't know what the payout is in that situation, but it doesn't matter what it is.
9:19
SPEAKER_02: It doesn't in Austin, Texas, it doesn't matter what it is.
9:21
SPEAKER_02: They got it.
9:22
SPEAKER_02: Right.
9:22
SPEAKER_02: And the thing is, if you look at if you look at Texas's schedule, they have not just after Ole Miss, Missouri, LSU, Arkansas, and they have multiple losable games on their schedule.
9:32
SPEAKER_02: I don't so they're they this is if they spent a lot of money.
9:36
SPEAKER_02: They got Cam Coleman, they got Colin Simmons, Trevor Goosby.
9:39
SPEAKER_02: They've got a lot of premier first round NFL talent on this team.
9:43
SPEAKER_02: This is a national championship roster, and it is there, there's seasons on the line.
9:48
SPEAKER_02: This is it.
9:48
SPEAKER_02: That's they're hanging by a thread.
9:50
SPEAKER_02: They're lucky, frankly, that Ohio State comeback, they're lucky to be four and two.
9:53
SPEAKER_02: They should be three and three, if we're being honest.
9:55
SPEAKER_02: So this is absolute do or die.
9:58
SPEAKER_02: Margin of error is over in Texas, and I think Arch Manning is gonna be done at halftime.
10:04
SPEAKER_02: Maybe sooner.
10:04
SPEAKER_02: We'll see.
10:05
SPEAKER_01: Did you see Colin Simmons is out with a high ankles brain through the rest of the month?
10:08
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that is real bad.
10:09
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that is real bad because he is so good.
10:12
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
10:13
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, hate that.
10:15
SPEAKER_00: Hope some of my friends tailed my tailed my verbal action on Texas to make the playoffs.
10:21
SPEAKER_00: No, speaking of money, that's a little invest investment that I made a couple weeks ago.
10:26
SPEAKER_00: So there you go.
10:27
SPEAKER_01: Good for you.
10:28
SPEAKER_00: Horns down.
10:29
SPEAKER_00: Here we go.
10:30
SPEAKER_00: Horns down.
10:31
SPEAKER_00: The banger of the weekend, I think, is at 10 15 p.m.
10:35
SPEAKER_00: Houston at Utah.
10:38
SPEAKER_00: Houston at Utah, and it doesn't start until we are all sleepy time.
10:44
SPEAKER_00: So this is a great, this is a great, great matchup that I will watch on Sunday morning.
10:51
SPEAKER_00: So excited.
10:52
SPEAKER_00: Morning coffee and watch it again.
10:55
SPEAKER_00: Uh the projected score here between Houston and Utah is Utah by six at Utah.
11:03
SPEAKER_00: And the projected score is about 25 points to 31.
11:07
SPEAKER_00: 25-31 is about a six-point spread.
11:10
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
11:11
SPEAKER_00: So my question for you is this game could go either way.
11:14
SPEAKER_00: I mean, Houston's been playing great ball.
11:17
SPEAKER_00: Utah has been as well.
11:18
SPEAKER_00: Maybe this is simply a race to get the lead in the late third quarter and just keep trading touchdowns, and whoever, you know, whoever gets to that highest point total first is going to end up being your winner.
11:31
SPEAKER_00: My question for you is who gets to 25 points first?
11:35
SPEAKER_00: Is it going to be Houston or Utah or neither?
11:39
SPEAKER_00: Who's going to get to that 25 point, get over that hump of 24 or so, and move on to the upper echelon of point scoring first?
11:49
SPEAKER_00: Or will neither of them get to 25?
11:52
SPEAKER_02: This season has been straight up defined by emotional letdowns.
11:56
SPEAKER_02: And I think that's exactly what we just saw happen to Houston.
12:00
SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry, excuse me, Utah when they went to Colorado and eked out an ugly win with a team.
12:05
SPEAKER_02: They had no business keeping within 30.
12:08
SPEAKER_02: This is the this is what they were looking ahead to.
12:10
SPEAKER_02: They were sleeping on the Buffaloes for this game.
12:13
SPEAKER_02: It's not going to happen.
12:14
SPEAKER_02: Utah with big, big force, big defense.
12:18
SPEAKER_02: Houston hasn't played many teams with a defense yet.
12:20
SPEAKER_02: Utah has got a good defense, and they're going to play.
12:23
SPEAKER_02: And playing at Rice Eccles up in up in that altitude is a up in Salt Lake.
12:27
SPEAKER_02: It is tough.
12:28
SPEAKER_02: So I really like what Connor Wagman's doing.
12:30
SPEAKER_02: I think he's a darn good quarterback.
12:32
SPEAKER_02: I think he's probably going back to the NFL, but this this spot screams Utah to me.
12:36
SPEAKER_02: So I got Utah scoring 28-31, and they're going to get there first.
12:40
SPEAKER_02: And they're going to they're going to hold them off.
12:41
SPEAKER_02: I don't think how I don't I'm saying I'm going to say Utah gets there, Houston doesn't, Utah wins.
13:26
SPEAKER_01: What do you say?
13:28
SPEAKER_01: I'm going to go Utah on this one.
13:30
SPEAKER_01: They're at home.
13:32
SPEAKER_01: Like you said, Houston's coming off that big win against Oklahoma State.
13:36
SPEAKER_01: And I I just I I believe Utah will step up more from their loss to Colorado than Houston will be able to be able to ride the high of beating Oklahoma State.
13:47
SPEAKER_01: I think they come out quick.
13:48
SPEAKER_01: I think they score.
13:49
SPEAKER_01: Is it 21 or 28?
13:50
SPEAKER_01: What's our number to go for?
13:51
SPEAKER_01: 25.
13:52
SPEAKER_00: It's 25.
13:53
SPEAKER_01: Oh 25.
13:54
SPEAKER_01: Oh, good, right in between.
13:55
SPEAKER_00: 25.
13:56
SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
13:57
SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
13:57
SPEAKER_01: Still going with Utah.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:59
SPEAKER_00: So somebody will score it.
14:01
SPEAKER_00: It will be Utah.
14:02
SPEAKER_00: Uh-oh, you're bad news from the Mike Blitz podcast.
14:05
SPEAKER_00: It's unanimous.
14:07
SPEAKER_00: That didn't work out for Malachi Tony last week.
14:10
SPEAKER_00: We're going to go unanimous Utah to get to that point total first.
14:16
SPEAKER_01: The Houston money line now.
14:18
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, exactly.
14:19
SPEAKER_00: Slow it up.
14:21
SPEAKER_00: Speaking of the goals.
14:22
SPEAKER_00: Feed the goons.
14:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
14:24
SPEAKER_00: Speaking of exactly us.
14:26
SPEAKER_00: Speaking of emotional letdown.
14:29
SPEAKER_00: Um, Houston just had their emotional win against a really good Oklahoma state team this weekend.
14:36
SPEAKER_00: I was gonna say that.
14:37
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
14:37
SPEAKER_00: So they're popping champagne, they're reading their own names in the headlines, and this is their letdown spot because they just had a banger, and now they have to go to Utah and they're gonna get beat.
14:50
SPEAKER_00: So I say Utah as well.
14:51
SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
14:52
SPEAKER_02: It's just hard to get.
14:53
SPEAKER_02: I mean, that it was an impressive winning.
14:54
SPEAKER_02: It's a great game for Oklahoma State.
14:56
SPEAKER_02: It's really hard to get up for that kind of game twice.
14:59
SPEAKER_02: And the last place you want to try and do that is Rice Eccles.
15:02
SPEAKER_02: Salt Lake is a hell of a home field, and uh yeah, Utah's got it.
15:05
SPEAKER_00: So we've seen it so many times.
15:08
SPEAKER_00: It's been the story of the year.
15:09
SPEAKER_00: All these teams, Florida, Missouri, Old Miss, they they hit a hit a big one and then let down the next week.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: So that's now it's Houston's turn.
15:18
SPEAKER_00: Let's get excited for the last game of the season.
15:24
SPEAKER_00: Of course, I'm talking about UVA at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg this year.
15:29
SPEAKER_00: Let's talk about these two teams a little bit.
15:32
SPEAKER_00: At noon, UVA plays Duke, and they are hosting, I believe.
15:39
SPEAKER_00: And at 7 p.m., the Virginia Tech Hokies are gonna play, ooh, at Clemson.
15:45
SPEAKER_00: At Clemson, a team that's got a lot of dudes, a lot of dudes on that team in orange.
15:51
SPEAKER_00: And so this is a callback question that we've had before in week three.
15:56
SPEAKER_00: In week three, I asked this question.
15:58
SPEAKER_00: Turned out that Virginia Tech was the correct answer.
16:01
SPEAKER_00: Who's gonna score more points this weekend?
16:03
SPEAKER_00: The Virginia Tech Hokies at Clemson or the UVA Wahoos hosting the Duke Blue Devils.
16:12
SPEAKER_02: The easy one for me.
16:13
SPEAKER_02: It's gonna be tech.
16:14
SPEAKER_02: Tech game might be the Tech Clemson might be a shootout.
16:16
SPEAKER_02: I'm I'm a little, like I said, I like tech.
16:19
SPEAKER_02: I'm highly competent offense.
16:21
SPEAKER_02: I really like the reflection of skill players.
16:23
SPEAKER_02: I'm a little worried about their defense.
16:25
SPEAKER_02: And Clemson at home might cook some things up and get some points on the board.
16:29
SPEAKER_02: I think Virginia Tech's gonna have to score, and I think they will.
16:32
SPEAKER_02: On the flip side, all Duke wants to do is show up and run the bejeese out of the ball with Nate Shepard, and I think they're gonna do that.
16:38
SPEAKER_02: I'm not convinced UVA's defense has gotten back to where they need to get.
16:42
SPEAKER_02: And I kind of think Duke is gonna come in there and just really run the ball and slow it down and that kind of game.
16:48
SPEAKER_02: And honestly, UVA has not showed us they can score.
16:51
SPEAKER_02: So Virginia Tech, my point, I like Virginia Tech here because I think Virginia Tech games are gonna be able to track me.
16:57
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, okay, okay, okay, hi, tech tech VPI.
17:00
SPEAKER_01: Put my name down.
17:01
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I was I don't know.
17:03
SPEAKER_00: Duke is a little bit more susceptible.
17:05
SPEAKER_00: Virginia is at home.
17:07
SPEAKER_00: This is what makes me think that UVA is gonna put it together.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be at home, they're gonna score some points like we saw them do in week number zero.
17:16
SPEAKER_00: Um, but Duke is actually a good team.
17:19
SPEAKER_00: We have to go.
17:21
SPEAKER_00: When I say we, I mean Maroon, Hokies got to go to Clemson, a very stout defense.
17:27
SPEAKER_00: So I think these point totals are gonna end up being quite similar.
17:32
SPEAKER_00: Of course, I'm gonna go with the Hokies, though.
17:34
SPEAKER_00: So it's gonna be unanimous again.
17:36
SPEAKER_00: Uh oh, what are we doing?
17:38
SPEAKER_00: What are we doing?
17:39
SPEAKER_00: Unanimous for the Hokie's not good for what it's worth.
17:42
SPEAKER_02: The totals are 48.5 and 49 and a half, so they're expecting about the same.
17:45
SPEAKER_02: And Virginia Tech right now is a very short dog, two and a half, and Virginia is a very short favorite, one and a half.
17:53
SPEAKER_02: So, like both both Vegas is expecting both games to be 23, 26 one way or the other in both spots.
18:02
SPEAKER_02: I just think this is gonna be a game script game.
18:04
SPEAKER_02: I think Clemson's gonna score and tech are gonna score, and you're gonna see it fast.
18:08
SPEAKER_02: And I think Duke and UVA are gonna play slow down.
18:11
SPEAKER_02: So if you want a little preview on who I like the over and who I like the under, I'm showing you my hand.
18:15
SPEAKER_02: I think it's gonna be game script dependent, which is why I feel so good about that.
18:19
SPEAKER_01: I do think that I think Virginia Tech has worked.
18:22
SPEAKER_01: Excuse me.
18:23
SPEAKER_01: Belowsive players.
18:24
SPEAKER_01: Hey, okay.
18:25
SPEAKER_01: Overton, Keyshawn Brown, like those guys can break it off at any time and take it to the house.
18:29
SPEAKER_01: I just don't see that with UBA, and that's the only reason I'm gonna stick with Virginia Tech.
18:33
SPEAKER_01: I know I said it before, but hit the hit the music, Darren.
18:37
SPEAKER_00: Yep, I gotta agree, gotta agree.
18:39
SPEAKER_00: Go hokies.
18:40
SPEAKER_00: Okay, now let's hear a little music.
18:43
SPEAKER_00: That's just a good time right there.
18:44
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so question number five.
18:46
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna take this question and gonna flip it on its head just a little bit, and let's look at your teams, boys.
18:53
SPEAKER_00: LSU is going to Auburn.
18:56
SPEAKER_00: Okay, LSU, Auburn, two pretty good defenses.
19:00
SPEAKER_00: The Iowa Hawkeyes are coming off a bye, getting fully rested, going to Minnesota.
19:07
SPEAKER_00: They're going on the road.
19:09
SPEAKER_00: So looking at these two games with a lot of good defenses happening, um, I want to pit the defenses against each other.
19:17
SPEAKER_00: So the question is this Who will score fewer points?
19:23
SPEAKER_00: The Minnesota Golden Gophers or the Auburn War Eagles?
19:30
SPEAKER_00: Which team's defense is gonna show up bigger and those opponents are gonna score less?
19:37
SPEAKER_00: Who scores less?
19:39
SPEAKER_00: Minnesota or Auburn?
19:41
SPEAKER_00: And just for a little context, our boy Billy Connolly's SP plus with ESPN, he says both of these teams are gonna score around 19 points, and so it's pretty even in his eyes.
19:53
SPEAKER_00: What do you guys think?
19:55
SPEAKER_02: I was actually gonna I was gonna ask that if we had kind of like a ballpark.
19:58
SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I see that now.
19:59
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the yeah, it's an even playing field as far as Connolly says.
20:03
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna go Minnesota.
20:05
SPEAKER_02: I just don't have a lot of I'm I'm sorry, yeah.
20:07
SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna go Minnesota with less.
20:08
SPEAKER_02: Iowa is so good at playing disciplined ball, and I just don't think Drake Lindsay is as good as I want him to be.
20:14
SPEAKER_02: I think Iowa's gonna do better than they are.
20:17
SPEAKER_02: I've seen, I've watched enough games at Jordan Hare to know weird things happen.
20:21
SPEAKER_02: If this game was in, if LSU was playing at home, I would take Tigers all day.
20:25
SPEAKER_02: LSU's been dominant at home, frankly.
20:28
SPEAKER_02: Clemson, AM, Mississippi.
20:30
SPEAKER_02: We've been erasing pretty much everybody in Tiger Stadium away from Tiger Stadium has been unfortunately a much different story.
20:38
SPEAKER_02: This is gonna be a unfortunately, this is not gonna be a cakewalk like last week was.
20:41
SPEAKER_02: So I think Iowa is gonna hold down Minnesota better than LSU is gonna hold down Auburn.
20:47
SPEAKER_02: However, I think both teams will win.
20:49
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
20:52
SPEAKER_01: I just think Iowa off a bye is gonna be in a better position than I mean Auburn's coming off their huge win in Georgia, where I mean, what the what's the story of the season so far?
21:03
SPEAKER_01: You get let down if you have a huge win.
21:06
SPEAKER_01: So I I don't see Auburn coming out and performing as well, but I think Iowa's defense coming off a bye will be stout, even though they're going on the road, and I think they hold Minnesota to less points than Auburn.
21:22
SPEAKER_00: Minnesota is just perennially a B plus team.
21:26
SPEAKER_00: B plus?
21:27
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, B plus.
21:29
SPEAKER_00: Like they can beat, they can beat and show up with some of the big boys, not really.
21:34
SPEAKER_00: So they're like just a hair tier under Iowa, the Iowa Hawkeyes.
21:39
SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm saying?
21:40
SPEAKER_00: I just they're B minus.
21:43
SPEAKER_00: I think Iowa right now is a solid A.
21:46
SPEAKER_00: They're an A and they're gonna they're gonna roll into a 10-2 record, I say.
21:51
SPEAKER_00: Anyway, I just say I just say that these are gonna be great games.
21:55
SPEAKER_00: Like you said, Michael, Auburn is feeling fantastic coming with a W out of Georgia, and they're gonna play at home.
22:02
SPEAKER_00: And so they're ready, they're ready to win this game in Jordan Hare in Auburn.
22:07
SPEAKER_00: And Minnesota isn't scared of anybody.
22:10
SPEAKER_00: That's what I was really trying to say.
22:11
SPEAKER_00: They're just not scared of anyone.
22:15
SPEAKER_00: You know, they'll they fully expect to take Ohio State to a 17 to 19 final score, you know.
22:23
SPEAKER_00: Keep it real close against anybody and everybody.
22:25
SPEAKER_00: And so it's gonna be really great teams, really good games.
22:28
SPEAKER_00: I am gonna man, do I do we want to go unanimous three in a row here?
22:33
SPEAKER_00: Not really.
22:34
SPEAKER_01: Um go the other way.
22:36
SPEAKER_01: Go against me.
22:36
SPEAKER_00: Go the other way, go the other way, go the other way, go the other way.
22:39
SPEAKER_00: Who's going to score fewer points?
22:41
SPEAKER_00: The LSU Tigers just held Mississippi State to zero points.
22:46
SPEAKER_00: So they're going to get that road, get that road victory.
22:50
SPEAKER_00: And I'm going to go, Auburn scores fewer than Minnesota.
22:53
SPEAKER_00: So I'm going to zag out the Godziers.
22:55
SPEAKER_00: There you go.
22:56
SPEAKER_00: Good.
22:57
SPEAKER_00: There you go.
22:57
SPEAKER_01: Because look at this.
22:58
SPEAKER_01: Minnesota only scored 27 against Washington.
23:01
SPEAKER_01: Michigan, they only scored 20.
23:03
SPEAKER_01: Then after Michigan, they got beat by Purdue 41 to 13.
23:07
SPEAKER_01: They are coming off a bye, also.
23:09
SPEAKER_01: But like I just don't think Minnesota's got the offense.
23:12
SPEAKER_01: Oh, we're so good over here.
23:13
SPEAKER_01: I'm glad you took Auburn.
23:15
SPEAKER_01: I need to, I need to climb up the ladder.
23:16
SPEAKER_00: There you go.
23:17
SPEAKER_00: There you go.
23:19
SPEAKER_00: Okay, there we go.
23:21
SPEAKER_00: Question number six.
23:23
SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think this is six.
23:25
SPEAKER_00: So question six remains.
23:28
SPEAKER_00: I didn't think we would go four weeks of these questions about who is the head coach that's going to be fired, but we got nine coaches on the docket already.
23:38
SPEAKER_00: Do you want a little rundown of who's got who?
