Michigan Player's DANGEROUS Comments Before Oklahoma Game | CBS Sports Analyst Says WHAT? · Sooner or Later Sports

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Ooh-wee, someone believes in Michigan in this game. As a
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: CBS analyst, former coach, Rick Neuhausel had decided to chime
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: in on this game. So he believes Michigan has a
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: big-time shot. Plus, a Michigan player did have something to say.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Me and John talked about it over on Lockdown Sooners.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about it over here as well,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: because I thought it was interesting how he spoke up
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: on it, and it may not be a good thing.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Let's dive into that before we do that. Welcome to
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Sooner or Later Sports, part of the Unfair Sports Network.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: I'm your boy, Jay. Thank you for following up to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the channel. This video is powered by our partners at PrizePix.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: New users play five, get $ 150 in bonus lineups if
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: you win. So, yeah, Oklahoma is in a situation where
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: they're on the road against a team that, truth be told,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: has their back against the wall. And the players know it.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: They understand the implications of everything here. And one of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the players, Dom Nichols, had some things to say. And
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: we're going to be honest here. I get where he's
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: coming from. He didn't really play in the game last year.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: He didn't get a chance to really... I mean, he
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: played a few snaps, like 20-something snaps. He didn't really
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: get to play play. Um... And he didn't really get
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to do much. But he had a solid game against
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Western Michigan. And he's probably one of their up-and-coming players.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: But he talked about it. And this is what he
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: had to say. I definitely feel a certain way about
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: this game, he said. Just watching the older dudes last
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: year and how they felt after having to take that
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: one on the chin. This definitely sits with me still.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: And he talked about John Materia as well. He's not
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: getting away from me. Nichols had said. What I thought
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: was interesting, too, with him added to that, a little
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: bit more John Hoover over at Oklahoma Sooners on SI
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: got some more of his quotes, and he talked about Mateer.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Of course, he gave Mateer pride, said Mateer is the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: one to make Oklahoma's offense go. Of course, he's a quarterback,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and he's the dude that knows the playbook the best.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: And he's a game changer. That's what it is. He's
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: good with the football. He's a smart guy. He's a
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: fifth-year dude, and he knows what he's doing out there.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: He's got experience. He's a good player. And, you know,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: all of that. So in that case, he knows that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: he's going to have to focus on John Mateer. At
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: least they think. They think that the run game is
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: going to be critical with him, and John's going to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: be doing all of that stuff. I don't know. But
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: I did think it was funny that a Michigan alum
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: was not fond of the statement. My guy John over
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: at Locked On Soon as posted it. He posted that
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and he's like, oh. And then Taylor Llewellyn, who went
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: on the Oklahoma Breakdown recently, said this is the last
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: thing we need coming out of Michigan right now. I
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: thought that was funny. That was funny. That was really funny.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: And in a way, he's kind of right. Things ain't
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: going too well in the situation how that game ended.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma balled out. And so the expectation is Oklahoma should
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: walk in and get a dub. Now, I'm not saying
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: that Oklahoma's going to go in there and dominate. But
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: there's a possibility they do. There's a possibility this game
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: gets ugly very quickly. And Oklahoma, similar to this game,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: they just take over early. And because they take over
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: so early, we're done. And now it's Oklahoma's just burning clock,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of running, all of that stuff. There's a
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: very big possibility of that. We'll see. But a CBS analyst,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Rick Neuheisel, decided that he had to chime in and
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: say he is a believer in Michigan. Let's talk about that.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Before we do that, though, shout out to our partners
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: here at PrizePix, the percentage sponsor of the channel. The
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: NFL season is back, so now you can get in
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: on the action and have a little bit more fun
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: during the games by making some picks. New users, if
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you play five, you'll get $ 150 in bonus lineups if
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: you win. So America's number one fantasy pick application's got
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: all the goods going on. Let's look at some of
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: this NFL action coming up. Thursday Night Ball, Puka Nakua.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Got to take them. You know, you got to. Same
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: thing with Jameer Gibbs. I don't know how I feel
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: about Christian McCaffrey scoring. I'm going to take more on
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: that one. We'll jump CD. Nice Sunday action. We'll move
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: off on that. But, hey, we'll take Brock Purdy running
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: for more than 18.5 yards. Pick two or more players.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Pick more or less on the stats. And if you
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: hit on that first $ 5 one. you will get $ 150
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in bonus lineups by getting that dub. Check them out.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Follow me on First Sports so you can outdo your boy.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And always gamble responsibly. All right, so this is what
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: Rick Neuheisel had to say about this game coming up.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Listen, Michigan has too much pride in their program to
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: not go back to work this week and try to
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: do everything they can to fix what's broken. Unfortunately, their
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: quarterback situation is one that is not going to be
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: consistent until more time goes by and they arrive on
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: the perfect formula for run pass with Bryce Underwood. A
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: new coordinator there watching him play under the lights for
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the first time now has some idea. And that's going
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: to be the key. Their defense is going to have
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: to play lights out, taking Mateer's legs away, although they
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: were not on display in week one. And then you're
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: going to have to make sure that Bryce Underwood is
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: not putting the team in harm's way. And that's meaning
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: using his legs before his feet. I think it's a
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: 13-7 Michigan win.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Am I taking crazy pills? I 100% understand him saying
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: that Michigan has more pride than to lose this game
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: in this manner. 100% agree. Like, you won't catch me
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: disagreeing with him on that. But I do have to
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: ask the question, are we just going to continue to
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: sleep on Oklahoma and believe that Oklahoma's not going to
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: be prepared to win this game, take over this game,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: borderline dominate this game? Like, I know that Michigan has
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: more pride than to get blasted by the Sooners. I
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: hope they would have more pride than to get destroyed.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I also know that Oklahoma should be able to walk
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: into this game and kind of win this game in
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: very easy fashion. Like, I'm not saying that, and I've
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: said this before, Oklahoma's got to show me that they're
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: built to go out here and win these games and
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: put these P4 teams away with ease. If they give
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: me that, I will start picking Oklahoma to blow out folks.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: But my mindset is Oklahoma is built to be a
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: team that's going to win games and win them well.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: That's it. They're going to win the game. They're going
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to win them well. They'll get some double digit wins.
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Maybe a three score win. Yeah, they'll get them. But
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: most of it is grinding it out, getting the dub. Now,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: their goal is to change that mindset. Their goal is
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: to come in here and say, no, we're going to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: try blowing people out. They do that like Indiana did
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: last year. Then at that point, I'm just like, all right,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma's got a chance to go far. I already think
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: they're going to make a run in the playoffs. I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: just don't know how far yet. Like, I believe this
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: is a national championship caliber roster in players. They've got
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: to get a little bit healthier, and they've got to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: go out there and continue to do things. But I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: can see Oklahoma just grinding out wins every week. They're
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: built for it. They're built for grinding out wins, especially
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: on the road and everything. They'll just win. And that's
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: what's most important. 10-2, 11-1, 12-0, whatever. This is a
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: minimum 10-win team for me. They've returned too much tonight.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: But I like that Rick Neuhausel believes that Michigan has
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: too much pride to lose this game. Buddy, I think
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: that Michigan has too much pride to not get blown out.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I don't think they have enough pride to win this game.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I just don't think Bryce Underwood is that dude. He
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: hasn't shown it to us, so I'm not going to
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: believe it. When he shows us, sure. I don't think
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: he's got it. Let me know what y'all think. Hop
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: in the comments. I want to hear your thoughts. Y'all
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: think that Michigan can... We'll keep this close. A lot
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: of people have been saying anything's going to be a blowout.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Michigan fans think it's going to be a blowout. I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: think it's going to be a closer game. But I
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: would be happy with, I think it'll be like last year.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: I think we'll be up two scores and just coast
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: and win. Two scores, maybe three. But if we go
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: out there like LSU did Clemson, sign me up. Let
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: me see it happen. And then I'll buy into it
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: every week going forward. I'll literally be insane with my predictions.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: If they go out there and blow them out like
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: they blew out Clemson, I will be insane with every
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: prediction going forward. Definitely want to hear from y'all. Shout
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: out to our partners at PrizePix. New users play five,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: get $ 150 in bonus lineups if you win. I'm headed
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: to Michigan. Hope you are too. If you are, hop
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: in the comments, let me know. I get there Friday afternoon.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: And then after that... We will be, I'll be floating
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: around Ann Arbor enjoying the game. Gonna find a place
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: to watch that Texas-Ohio State game and then prepare for
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: that flight home on Sunday. So holler at your boy
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: if you can find me. Please do shake hands, kiss babies.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I have some stickers and stuff with me to give away. Heck,
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: I may have a shirt or something. I don't know.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: We'll have a few things, but we'll see you all soon.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Thank you.
