  Speaker 1: Friday night, Miami absolutely rolled Stanford much to no one's surprise,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: but I do want to talk about a couple of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: different angles in this game. A couple of different things
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: about this. We are presented by prize picks here at
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the power to make sure that you are subscribed well
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: over 200 people in here watching live. We appreciate you
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: this morning for joining us on a Sunday. Miami winning
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: by a lot and winning comfortably, not any surprise at all.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Could they have two Heisman Trophy finalists? Because I know
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: you're going to split the vote when you have a
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: quarterback and a wide receiver. But my week one overreaction
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: for them is that I think they have two. No,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I don't think they have two guys that deserve to
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: be in New York City for the Heisman, in my opinion.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: The only question is whether or not they split too
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: many votes and it hurts both of them. Malachi, Tony,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: we had the conversation of whether or not he was
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: as good as, or where he ranked with Jeremiah Smith.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: And I don't know that I'm fully ready to say
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: that he's better. They're so different, even playing the same position,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: but I, I, it ain't one and two to me.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It's one a and one B it's one a one
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: B a, he is. And I'll hear any argument that
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: you want to have that he's better. I'm not even
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: picking one because you cannot lose with either guy. He,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: you want to play Miami did not run the ball
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: effectively and, And Mario got on that. Some of that
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: is Stanford just saying, hey, we're not going to let you.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: We're going to crowd the box. My gosh, let them
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: run the ball. Because at least that takes more time
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: off the clock. Do not, to the other 11 teams
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: on Miami's schedule this year, do not. let Malachi Tony
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: do what he just did against Stanford because he can
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: do it every single time covering him one-on-one and not press.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Like you can't press, you can't play soft. He's as
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: good of a route runner as he is with the
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: ball in his hands. He is obviously got quickness and
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: speed and shiftiness. And my goodness, is he not insane?
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: And Mensah to come out here and look like he did.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: obviously hooking up with bar Kate, hooking up with the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: tight end, hooking up with Tony plenty of times. I
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: know it was Stanford. I know they had a lot
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: of guys out, but my gosh, they looked for real.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And they're, you know, my, again, my takeaway is that
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: Tony is just, he's insane. Last night should have been
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: his or Friday night should have been his very first game. Oh,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: people forget. He reclassified.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: He should, he should have been playing as a high
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: school senior last year. And in his, well, it should
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: have been his first game. He sets a record that
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: had stood since 1984 with receiving yards for Miami. You
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: think about Michael Irvin and you think about Andre Johnson,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you think about all the guys they've had. He broke
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: a record that had stood for almost double his age.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: No.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: Quadrant triple his age.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: So ridiculous. Malachi, Tony. If the Heisman was this week,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I think he's my winner.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Tom, do you want to go or do you want
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: me to go?
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I'll get right back to the clip, but first I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: want to give some love to Prize Picks over on
• 2:55

  Speaker 1: about everything. So go check that out. We appreciate PrizePix
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: for their support. Now back to the clip.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Okay. I mean, like, you consider the level of competition, sure,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: and the points that you guys made, at least from
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: a defensive standpoint for Miami. multiple starting offensive linemen for
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Stanford unavailable in this game. And their only data point
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: was a victory against Hawaii. So it's like, okay, what
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: is Stanford really? Time will tell. Jury's still out, I think,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: on the defensive line, replacing the pieces from last year.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: So I'm still curious to see how Miami answers those
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: questions as the year goes on.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: But still, this was a really solid performance.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Offensively, just felt different than it did last year which
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: is natural considering the turnover on the roster and that
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: they just didn't really need the running game but if
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: you take away three carries of 19 10 and 9
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: they averaged 2.8 yards per carry and i think there's
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: some new pieces along the offensive line they're still piecing
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: together so it's like all right cool like you just
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: It's early, so you give them a little bit of
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: a break there, and it's like, yeah, you threw the
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: ball for 400 yards, so you're not terribly concerned about
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: running the football in this situation. So have the offensive
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: line and defensive line taking the strides they need to
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: take coming off of last season, the pieces you lost.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Mensah looked at advertised play. Malachi Toney hitting multiple Heisman poses,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: by the way, just like make it very clear. This
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: is about yourself and not this year. Right. Just making
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: it abundantly clear what your focus is on and not
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: the team goal. Right. That's interesting from week one. Good
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: for you, Malachi. Malachi looks fantastic. Darian Mensah. I can't
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: wait to see more because if it's an offense that
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: is force feeding Malachi Toney, I understand that. What's going
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: to happen against Notre Dame, which was really the best
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: competition you have on the schedule, where it's like, hey,
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: we're going to take away number one. That's what I'm
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: curious about with Darian Mensah. But I still expect him
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: to be able to get the ball around. I just, again,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the turnover every year, just because it's the same laundry
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: and the same logo, doesn't mean they're going to do
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: the exact same things they did last year. There might
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: have been the expectation that they'll run the hell out
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: of the football like they did last year quite well.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: They might not need to do that this year. And
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: they also might figure out this running game as the
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: season goes on. Not to say Stanford gave them issues.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: They did whatever they wanted. So I'm just wait and
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: see when it comes to the offensive and defensive lines
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: for Miami.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I thought the defensive line, just very quickly to counter that,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I thought the defensive line only getting one sack was
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: still really, really good. They impacted multiple plays. And so
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I have a little more confidence in that side than
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I do the offensive line. There were several holding calls
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that Stanford was called for. due to that pass rush,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: there were several plays where, um, quarterback had to just
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: get rid of the ball and throw it away because
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: that pass rush was coming or through a pretty poor pass. Um,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: on the office side, I do agree with you. I
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: want to see more out of the running game last year. Um,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: they didn't have a hundred yards rushing against FSU, but
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: it's because FSU played a billion guys in the box
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: and said, okay, beat us passing. And Malachi Tony said, absolutely.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: So I, I think that is kind of a benefit
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: for Miami too. Cole is that they can, they they're multiple, right?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Like you want to, do you want to stack the box?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: They are completely fine throwing it. You want to play back.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: They'll run it down your throat. Um, but I do
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: think you want to see it. I do think you,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you know, like, let's see it happen. And I don't know, man,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: we kind of looked at that Clemson game is like, okay, well,
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: this will be their first test. That's really a test.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: And so like, when is their first test? I mean,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: it might just be Notre Dame. We'll see if anybody
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: else can get up on them, but fam, you wake,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Central Michigan, Clemson, Florida State, like you're getting pretty deep
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: into the season without having any real tests. Maybe LSU
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: is just the greatest team of all time and Clemson
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: will be good. I don't know. But yeah, I want
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to see it for Miami's running game, but I don't
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: know how many answers we're going to get until they
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: go to South Bend.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Dude, is it honestly a bad take to say, let's
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: just triple team Malachi Toney and figure out how to
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: go win without him? Like, just take him out of
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: the game. Like, defense coordinators, I think, would have a
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: better shot of just saying, here, beat us with your
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: rushing attack, Cooper Barcate, your depth at wide receiver, and
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: your tight end play, and we're just going to take
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Tony out and have everybody cover him because we know
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: that he's just unstoppable. Because that's what it felt like. Guys,
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: there was a moment that he was literally in midair
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: turning upfield to be able to juke out a pair
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: of defenders. And you're just like, that shouldn't be possible.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: you were doing it just it's it's not it's not
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: humanized it isn't and like you're just blabbergasted that this
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: is an athlete that still has another year of college
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: football left here's my hot take and I have this
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: hot take in the offseason and I had a bunch
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: of Miami people in the comments because I read all
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: your comments and I see how you love to belittle
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: people like us all the time um I said that
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: Darian Mensah would be a better quarterback than Cam Ward
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I don't think I'm wrong Darian Mensah did everything that
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: you want to see now the thing is I will
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: throw out here I do not think that Darian Mensah
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: has an elite arm. That ball hangs in the air
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: far too long. But the thing that stood out about
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Darian Mensah that I think Cam Ward took a little
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: while to get acclimated to in the Shannon Dawson offense. Timing, accuracy, delivery, decision-making, confidence.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: All of it's there.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: How many times did you watch as Miami's offensive line
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: was getting pushed back and he didn't feel the pressure?
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: He was unfazed.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: All he did.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Let's just float it into the air, find a receiver downfield.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: How many times did you watch that he had to
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: step up in the pocket, deliver a clean strike? Guys,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: he had more touchdowns than incompletions in this game. I
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: don't care if you play Bumble Skunk University or Division
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: II Hootin.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Holla Hootin' Annie Tech.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: You have more touchdowns.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: It's a fantastic actual visual arts program. I just want
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: to give them credit.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: If you tell me that.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: You have more touchdowns than incompletions. That is elite level stuff.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: And Darian Mensah was a top five quarterback going into
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: last season. Darian Mensah is a top five quarterback.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Going into this season.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that the main question that you have
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: today is, would you leave Mensah out of the Heisman
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Trophy race? Because you have to have a guy that
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: breaks every single receiving record in. Because the only way
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I do not see Darian Mensah going to the Big
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Apple is is because if you only are taking one
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Miami player and the guy has every record broken, he's
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: going to win the award.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Let's talk.
