District rate marks of FCA, US LLC. Hello everybody. Welcome one, welcome off and welcome back to the believe in our state podcast. I'm your host Tyler Carter. And I'm your host Cody Vancellum. Cody, it was a great game. Unfortunately, I did not go our way as the cyclone's go down to the Hawkeye 16 to 13. Let's go and take a deeper look at this game as we share and take a look at the full box score. Yep. So obviously this game heading into this game, I think a lot, I don't know if it was you, but I knew a lot of Iowa state fans and I think Iowa fans too. This was one of those games where I think maybe you would have seen a change in the trend because usually in these games, it's really close and things like that,

usually one score. But I'll go into this game. I think a lot of Iowa fans, I knew for sure, were saying that this might have been different. And I mean given the context of like the two teams, me, you would have had that thought of perhaps Iowa would have absolutely just ran all over. Iowa state, it would have been a blow. And I mean, the line for this game closed at about 14 and a half. So yeah, Vegas had the expectation that this game was gonna be an absolute blow in favor of the hot guys, but that didn't end up being how the game went. And I mean, I think that's a credit to the Iowa state defense, which was a strength, but also the Iowa offense for at least the first half kind of was doing what they could do. And they, I mean at one point, Iowa state had a 10 point lead in Tinnik. So you had that, but then the second half, like the first half, but the second half was where you saw the flaws of this Iowa state team. And I think that comes down to a lot of things. The number one thing I think a lot of people would point out

is maybe the conservative play calling a Tyler Roll. That definitely got to criticism, but that does come down to the fact that Iowa state was like losing field position. They were getting pinned inside their own 10 towards their own end zone. And I mean, that's what side how typically is. It's field position, field goals, very like run, like physical football. And that's exactly what this game was. So I mean, my take, like, I think for this, the takeaway I had was, I think I was actually impressed with Iowa state keeping up with Iowa. And especially considering the offensive line, there is still some work to do, but I think our offensive line did a really good job at keeping Jailer and a relatively protected. I don't believe Iowa state gave up a sack in this game. Or they had one, but I think it was more because of more of it being the coverage sack. Yeah, he was open. But I'll say this. And I don't know if you agree with me,

but I think, you know, for most of this game, Iowa state dominated the line of scrimmage. Like from a defensive standpoint, especially in the first effort throughout, at least until like 10 minutes left of the game, which is when they started getting tired. The Iowa state defense dictated I was, I was, I was run game. They said, or should they shut it down? This is there. This is Iowa's lowest run total, the run run game total since last year against Indiana. So I mean, Iowa state, this defense is legit. Like I was, that was one of my things on Thursday, past this past Thursday show. I was like, hey, can they, can I was different? Yeah, that team defense is free. This defense is for real, man. Like I, I knew that there were some legitimacy. I know, yes, it was, yes, it was CMO, but I just knew that defensively, that there was something going on. And Sullivan Schlimke is a dog.

He might be one of my favorite players on this team right now. Yeah, yeah, I think there were some really good like, and I mean, there were even some good like TFLs that Iowa state had. And yeah, limiting Camarim Molen, who I think going into this game, I thought Camarim Molen was going to have a big day. Like if I was going to dominate, they were going to have a big day from Camarim Molen, and especially when we saw against Niu, great, Niu, but still Camarim Molen was like one of the highlights of this considered like revamped offense for Iowa. I believe it's second or third of your team Lester. And yet Hank Brown starting for Iowa, who I actually thought needed decent. He did his job. There were a couple good plays he had. And I mean, the touchdown run, and then obviously that passed Tony DS and Tony DS was as advertised for the Hawkeyes. He's brought a dynamic that I don't think Iowa's had in a while at the White receiver position. So he made the place that needed to. And I mean, kind of wax poetic that this game came down

on a game when he field goal, but this time around the Iowa Hawkeyes were the benefactor. From Caden Burr, I believe it was a 40, was it 50 yard field goal that he hit at the end of the game to ice the game? Yeah, unfortunately, I figured after that one drive where my side king jumped off sides and look at it, man, it's gonna, it's gonna, it's not gonna be our day. So unfortunately, that's how the kicking crumbles sometimes. Now there was some discourse after the game and then the discord about, you know, Jalen Rainer's play. But let's talk about that real quick because I just said me, I know I said it. I talked about it on the, on the reaction. So yeah, I'm a reaction show. I said, you guys, we don't, this offense is still pretty new. I still think you're gonna need at least probably, at least four or five games in for this offense to Jill.

I love her saying, oh, he's not the guy. I'm like, you guys, how do you know he's not the guy? We've never seen this offense play with each other. So like, how can you really know that for sure? Yeah. And the for Raider's performance too, I think a lot of people are gonna point, like obviously that second half. And I mean, yeah, I think Jalen Rainer may have missed a couple of, there were a couple of times I think where he was trying to look for a throw and I don't think he was able, like, he didn't use his legs as much as I thought he would in this game. And I think if he had did that more often, I think I would say would have had a better shot and maybe actually win the game. But I think part of it too is Jalen Rainer's tendency to throw picks because he has thrown a lot of picks in his career, like his three years at Arkansas State prior to the prior to coming Iowa State, I believe you through what 28 interceptions. And it doesn't help, especially when your cost is getting pinned back inside the tent, like inside your own 15, your own 10. And you know that Jalen Rainer may have a tendency to throw those picks. And obviously that kind of mistake would be the kind of a stake that would essentially kill the game for you.

And like give the game to the other team. So I think Iowa State was kind of living in that regard. And also part of that too was also, there were some really bad penalties in this game. Like the first half was about as perfect of an offensive game plan as a cut of gone, as a cut of gone for Iowa State. They go up 10 nothing. They do give up 10 straight points, but that's all. But in that their quarter, you really started to see maybe some of that composure fall apart. I mean, you had a bunch of like fall start, like pre-stab penalties, you had an illegal substitution and then there was the, I think it was the, the QB sneak that we successfully had, but because of another fall start penalty, we get back to having more force to put it. And I think that's what eventually led to Iowa winning this game. But also, this is another thing that I saw too, which was kind of funny, is like, you know how like we had the whole Michigan clock controversy last week. This week there were some fans pointing out the Iowa State lost like 30 some seconds on a review. But I mean, I think technically that's the correct word.

And then at the end of the game, at the end of the game, you had Iowa, like they had the whole review to determine there was one second, but due to Iowa State not having any timeouts and the NCAA ruling state, you need at least three seconds to run another play off review for the game ends right there. So and then a lot, and then there was a lot of like, even discourse with the officiating, and especially on that point sequence where you had, I think it was Matt's in trying to push the punt returner into the football and it's crazy. We're talking like like, like now we have Iowa fans calling us dirty. I don't think like I think you were like, I think I saw Jim Rogers or somebody met or the commentator mentioned that they were coach to do that, which maybe it's a little weird. Maybe it was a little excessive, but this isn't something that we have, we don't see only what Iowa State. We've seen this happen before with a bunch of other teams trying to push a player into the ball off a punt. I mean, it happened with, it's happened to us last year in the BYU game. So if you remember that with Benning Goy,

he let me get pushed into the ball and then BYU recovered it. So or even happened to us. Or even in the silo game last year, if you want to reach for that, you had one of our players like it pushed into our own player from an Iowa guy and that happened and Iowa benefited. Now like, like I said, those things happen. This is a rival game and for Iowa fans to be this soft, this is like kind of like, come on. This like it is football. Like it really didn't change like too much. Like what, you still like, and all things like that. But also we come off like a whole like rivalry weekend and I was saying this do like, obviously, I don't think Sihock were ever going to reach the level hatred for the poor war as an example. And I don't think that would happen. That's not going to happen. But come on, we got to have at least a little fun in the rivals like it's, and it's just the whole back for and you know what this leads me to his conversations too. I was listening to the two guys show an Iowa ever where yesterday, I think it was like, oh, yeah, yesterday. And you had the whole thing about like the Super Bowl

comment where it's like, like Chris Williams was talking about, oh, this whole Super Bowl talk is kind of stupid because college football is built off of rivalries and I believe so. I mean, yeah, we're going to like, and that's not even like, and I think to review that like kind of the his, and I do like, I think it's just, that's a fan's thing. The fans are always going to say, oh, where yet you are are this team, Super Bowl, Super Bowl, that, et cetera. That's just little jab talk. And I can see where maybe it sounds so dumb. But I mean, hey, where people are going to throw that around, the fans are always going to throw that around. And it's kind of a troll jab, but I mean, I guess congratulations to Iowa for finally winning. I mean, legitimately for the first time of five years. But hey, at the end of the day, at least we didn't pull what happened after the game here. Wap, wap, wap, wap. Yep, so that happened. And he knew what's funny too. I think I saw too. Also a good like a, no, a good friend of mine,

like a, like a, poor mind, Shannon, air heart, KCC. She had a, a, a, perspective like her own POV of her falling. She would fell. So, so the side of the trophy was the only thing that fell on the field. And it's crazy how that was the only fun will that happened in the game was the trophy. So, uh, all things considered, I think I would state kind of over, like over, like exceeded expectations for this game. So I think I said this maybe to disc, like, I don't know if I said it in a group chat or something. But I think there I say the new floor for this team is going to a bowl game. Oh, for sure. Yeah, I think, I think that's what that showed. I think this game showed to me that this team is definitely a ball team. They just need to think for me offensively. I think they just need to find like a scheme that, or I think wrote, we're probably have to fit his scheme more to what Jalen Raiders, um, straight. It's Paul and America.

can stick. I mean, he can't say in the pocket, but his strength is maybe throwing on the run, maybe in and and have him like working off sort of off schedule and being able to just run around and then maybe find somebody on the run. Yeah, because we saw that a little bit in the first and the first half. And I do think mainly because of field position and the penalties that were called it forced him to be a little bit more conservative, which is why I think that you saw the play calling in a second half like they did because every time that they, you know, wanted to do something down feel they couldn't because they were they were getting penalties, but yeah, I think we can just leave it there and then we're on the bowling green. And go on the bowling green. We're going to move going to that last first. Let's take a look at the conference of chaos. Yep, the conference.

Yeah, so yeah, in case you haven't caught on, that's a new sound by that Tyler's put for the season to represent the conference chaos, which is the big 12. And I think we got obviously started with the big story. I think that everybody's were talking about. We got to talk about Oklahoma state and it's a duality like you have the chaos, but the duality of man and it's perfectly represented with the Oklahoma state Cal boys who just the week before they go to Tulsa and Eric Morris debut and they lose 24 to 10 and the spirits are really low for the folks in still water. However, you now and then you go into this game as a 24 and a half point underdog at home against the organ ducks. And this truly was the most shocking result of the weekend and maybe of like the decade because Oklahoma state beats number six ranked organ 3931. And I mean, this image from Drew Mastemaker leaping over defender and then taking a hit into the end zone to score a

touchdown. I think that's the perfect representation in or Oklahoma state breaks their 12 game losing street to FBS teams and probably the wildest fashion possible beating a top 10 ranked team in organ. And we have a comment in here from impeccable king. He said if we are having him to if we're having him to be a pacifaster, I'm overly a florist. Rainer is here for his legs and okay arm, not just arm. Yes, exactly. If you're yes, I can fully agree. Thank you for your comment impeccable king. That's exactly what I said. You got to use his strengths. But yeah, back to the Oklahoma state game. Yeah, man. It's yeah, they had over 200 yards rushing and they made Dante more struggle. 14 of 29 for 191. Yeah. This game, yeah, on it, like I think the final score kind of

felt a little see because Oklahoma state, they dominated the whole game. They dominated the whole time. The stats will tell you, I believe Oklahoma state outgained organ. I think Oklahoma state had like 500 some yards to 280 for the organ ducks. And I think it just shows just how like how much like how capable this team is of doing great things. And yeah, why it young as advertised five receptions, 121 yards and a touchdown drew mester maker. Like the second Russia behind Caleb Hawkins, Caleb Hawkins, 23 carries 110 yards and a touchdown. Then drew mester maker six carries 109 yards. And I mean, that includes that 75 yard run he had at the beginning of the game, which I think set the tone for the Oklahoma state cowboys. So overall, and then I think day and lady made a said best in the post game. They just weren't like I think they just came in unprepared. And I think that's what like that's the beauty color football. You have like this top team. You're expected to actually beat the piss out of them, but you come in unprepared

on, Oklahoma state. They were hungry for a win and they were obviously they were more they got humiliated by organ, Eugene at oxen 69 to three. So the fans definitely remember that. And boy did they make a statement. And I mean, like talk about that after the game where obviously you have the field rust and then something that I definitely wish could have done. But I mean, you obviously had to see the obvious throw in the goal post in the theta pond. That's where this was. So I mean, you go figure. I mean, I think if anybody deserves to celebrate us and rush the field after a win, it's Oklahoma state, unlike those overings from an Harvard would do. Which we can get to a little later. But that, but I mean, yeah, big win for Oklahoma state. And I think the big like this is something to I think some people share, but I'll say it too. The big 12 is in a better place when Oklahoma states good. It is. And I mean, we'd go and let's take a look at Oklahoma state schedule.

Let's take a look at that real quick. You see they were on the road. And if we're if we're getting this, if we're getting this type of Yes, the type of performance from Oklahoma state every week. Look at the schedule. They got Murray State at West Virginia, UCF was at who the tapless against it. At Houston, Colorado. I mean, you could possibly see them going maybe going 415. I know in that stretch to set up maybe if I was state has a good season by that point, a really, really good matchup when they come to answer Halloween. Mm hmm. Yeah. But I think to this maybe leads to another conversation about Oklahoma state, you need some level consistency. Like as much as it's fun, you know, from the like Oklahoma states already experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows and calls football, but to really be successful and sustain yourself, you got to have some sort of consistency. So I got to see how Oklahoma state like does in the game gets Murray State.

Do they have a little bit of a hangover from the Oregon game? They should, but we'll see. And then going to Morgan town, I think that could really shell two, just what Oklahoma state truly is worth. So I think that that works for a junior game. I'm going to circle early off for Oklahoma state. And then also maybe the trip to Houston, if Houston continues to view what they look like, that could be another game where it can prove to me how legitimate Oklahoma state is in relation to the big 12. So really got to keep an eye out for how consistent Oklahoma state is. And I think like you said, like you always say, Cody, it's the duality of man and I think I'll be king bringing in bringing a good point tonight. I think Oregon is more likely for us to know as you bring a top tennis team. And then he says, I think they need another powerful game to really prove their worth. Yeah, I'm waiting to see what else they do. I am not buying into the hype yet. I want to see what they do. We'll get to watch Virginia because this could like this is they're also still trying to adjust to the power for level. These players.

So yeah, I think they need another just another game to prove their worth. And then I can I can finally get on my train. And then yeah, then the take about Oregon being frauds. I mean, they, I mean, they destroyed the school you stay and then they did drop 15 spots in the latest AP people. And I think we can go through that a little later. But I mean, Oklahoma state obviously congratulations for them for getting a huge win in. I mean, this does bits for the big 12 in terms of conference perception. And then I think another team to the like I think kind of helps the conference. We got to go talk about Utah and they're convincing win over Arkansas. Pax will in Salt Lake City 43 to 10 was the final in that game. And I mean, Utah from the jump. They were just clearly the better team and they run numbers. They just run circles all over the razor backs. Devon Danpeer had a pretty decent pretty good day 18 to 24.

261 passing yards and two touchdowns. You also had Parker. Let me see. Yeah, way sound Parker with three touchdowns and 118 yards and then the need of the tight end for the use 113 yards and one touchdown. So a really good day for Utah. And I think this is a month. I think this is a needed win. This like can boost like the perception of the big 12 because that's always going to be something to in the back of your like people's mind is oh, you like if this was another like situation like what happened with Arizona state down going down a star feeling losing that game in the Mississippi state. That would be really bad. If Utah dropped this game, it would have been a really bad. But Utah, I think proof that they are like that I think they're slowly starting to get back and maybe they could prove to be like in contention to win the big 12 this year, which is something I think they had been cracking the door up, but just cannot put it together. But I think this year I think they're legitimately in like like easily in the top three of the big 12.

They always happen. But I think now they're starting to creep a little closer to BYU and Texas tech and we'll get to Texas tech because they struggle. They struggle against a Oregon state, which we can talk about later. But yeah, big win for Utah. You got to win over an SEC opponent and that's always going to look good for optics. So big win for the youths and Morgan Scalies got things rolling in solid city. And the first year as head coach. Yeah, we show see how they are there rolling. They have Utah state next week. Honestly, I do think their first test is going to be when they come to Ames in a few weeks to win one conference. That's the conference over near the side clubs and the youth. So that will be interesting to see how that matchup comes up. But like you said, you know what? Let's go to that matchup in Corvallus. You see Texas A&M slightly pulling away. They man. I mean, if I were to tell you that man, I think you actually called Texas tech,

Texas A&M. I think somebody in love just got offended. Oh, oh, God. Texas tech. Good Lord. Sorry. The red horse. We I won't get to A&M when we talk about Arizona state. But yeah, Texas tech and David looking shaky like in the first two games, not looking that great against. I was an Abeling Christian week one. Then this game, you had to like you were losing by three at one point in this game until you like until you pulled away. But Texas tech has been looking pretty shaky. Like in the first two weeks, I don't know where your confidence is at in terms of Texas tech. I so my confidence is already sort of shaky with like Wilhelm and as are already. I mean, you look, you had a pedestrian day, he had a hundred and eight nine yards passing. Obviously they were had a good run up the good game on the ground. But yeah, I don't know. I mean, yeah, let's let's look. Yeah.

We had one touch down one. Yeah. So like he was all right. But I think one of the questions is this defense. You look at this defense, man. They gave up 240 receiving yards to the Oregon state receiver. Jesse LaGree eight catches for 240 yards and two touchdowns and quarterback. A Braden thatkinson had a day he had he went. He went 31 for 51 413 yard two touchdowns and then an interception. Oregon says it's going to be a tough out in the in the pack 12. But I mean, if you're Texas tech and you're expecting to be one of a playoff team for the big 12. I this is this sort of worries me. I mean, because now you got to you have a Houston team coming in the town that has been pretty in terms of themselves. Yeah. And that we have we got that game on Friday and they as we look at that later on.

Yeah, Texas tech. They need to get it going if they really want to win the big club again. Yeah. And speaking of Houston. Yeah, they just played Oregon state of the week before this game too. So it's two of the state like you got the same common opponent. And I think Houston actually I think they did better against. I don't know is it fair to say that Houston did better against Oregon state than Texas tech did not grade it. Houston played him played Oregon state in Houston. You all text tech at the travel. But still you maybe have like some sort of reference point right there between both text tech and Houston in relation to Oregon state. I think Houston might have actually performed a little better even though it was at home. But yeah, given of 413 passing yards to Hackinson. I'm so looking starting for this defense. I think was supposed to be one of the better units in big 12 and in college football. Because that's where Texas tech. That's how they won the big 12 last year. A big part of it was that defense. So we'll see what happens on Friday. And then yeah, text tech. Yeah, last year's clumps.

I mean, possibly possibly. Yeah, we'll see on Friday. But yeah, it felt yeah, I'm Texas tech. Yeah, the alarm bells are ringing and they better find a way to face it. Come Friday night against Houston because Houston is going to come in to love it. And they're going to look for the upset win. Texas tech is a seven and a half point favorite in that game. But I could easily see Houston keeping it like less than that or even winning that game. Yeah, I'm not going to lie Cody. This this big slow season seems like we thought it was going to only going to be a two team race. But it looks like there's it might be like the 24 24 season where we could probably have a three or four way tie. And that's really my need the conference of chaos. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Unfortunately, the team that won't be a part of the chaos unless they do it again in November, the Kansas J. Hawks. So they had the board of war. And I mean, you released that height video with referring to John Brown in the Civil War with Metro Boomin.

And I'm thinking, if you're going to you're going to put that out, you better win this game. And they get absolutely curfews. So I'm going to put it in the first round in the second half by Missouri Austin Simmons 292 yards and three touchdowns in the air. Jamal Roberts runs all over the defense 125 yards of one touchdown. Isaiah Marshall, two touchdowns 168 yards, but two picks. Yeah, just like this Kansas, you have this was your opportunity to really did win. I mean, a huge a good win against the SEC opponent and your crap all of yourself. And yeah, Kansas is not looking good for you, especially because now you have to head out across the pond to when we stayed and take on Arizona state. And I mean, you lose a home game there. So Kansas, unfortunately, has just disappointed, just disappointed. And I mean, just when they're going to play, it's not good. Yeah, their quarter Meccale is not good at all.

Mm-hmm. And I mean, this is where you maybe start. You got to start asking some questions about Lance Leipold because yeah, you yeah. I mean, Lance Leipold led you to like bowl games and modern success. But the question is, is he going to get to any more than that? Yeah, I mean, and he's done. He's done. Like he has his like, I feel like and I remember I was talking about this with my friend of the front of the show. I was like, well, we were having a conversation. I'm like, is he a coach that has done with the talent that he's had less? Like because 2024, I mean, you remember all those games at the beginning of the year where they started one in five and they ended up going. Four and two down the stretch where they've just missed out on the bowl game and had that run against BDBYU. I was the. Colorado and Colorado back to and back to back to back game just for them to lose on a bowl game. I mean, they had I think 2024 should have been the year where that really could have been the year.

If they could have maybe went to a bowl game and probably you see some. Bill confidence. Yeah, building confidence and they and you think think hey, you probably had a good. I better beginning to the season that year, maybe we'd be looking different at KU, but now it's looking like, Hey, maybe he's on the hot seat and maybe get rid of him. And this is right after going in just getting into a new stadium. Mm hmm. So yeah, very disappointing outing for the J Hawks and a very disappointing not like I think actually this not like I think on it like this like this week for the big 12 kind of a mixed bag. And I would did refer to this team earlier, but we got to go down to Arizona State. A child in two Kyle field in conversation and losing 48 to 20 against Texas A&M. Now I will say Arizona State they did compete like three three quarters cutter bully had some solid moments, but a&M ultimately proves that the talent gap was just too much and they pulled away scoring 24 points in the fourth quarter.

It's really pull away, but does this like change any your opinion Arizona State and maybe your opinion on cutter bully. Cutter bully is a guy. I think, you know, if you look at the first three quarters, I do think that if they can figure something out, they were pretty they they did have some stuff defensively. The first three quarters. Mm hmm. I do think that if they can if they can be consistent with this Arizona State could be a team that we could be talking about. Yeah, that could be a contender in near and no end of November. Yeah. I think, yeah, I think a big thing to those turnovers for turnovers in this game. I believe most of this happened in the fourth quarter. Is that a part of like because I wasn't able to like catch up on this. Yeah. So like all the like all the turnovers of happen in the fourth quarter was just a barrage after like everything. There was a tip ball and it was a a a thick six and like so there was really nothing that they get that that they could do.

It just self-destructed in the fourth quarter and it just it was like a what when it rained at port. So like, yeah, unfortunately, there's nothing they can do in that situation. So yeah. Yep. So Texas A and M get like pulls away late. They get like a 40 to 20 win. And I mean, I mean, even with this, I think there are some things to and I mean, yeah, we're going to see Arizona State traveling. Come up like like on big I believe they're going to have big is it they're going to be the one with the big noon or no. So I knew they'll be a big noon this Saturday and from London. Mm hmm. That's not going to be the big noon game, but they will be live from London. Um, because that's going to be the big 12 game at 11 a.m. and London local time. So if you want to watch that on your on your clogged screen as you watch, I was stable in green. Then you're different to do that. But.

Yeah. So, so I mean, yeah, overall, so that performance there. So I think maybe those were some of the main highlights to of like the noncon. Oh, yeah, I forgot real quick. We did actually have a big 12 conference game. The why you hosting Arizona. So this one, I thought we were going to have like this is the main highlight of like the week for the big 12, but obviously Oklahoma State changed plans. But originally this was probably the big highlight of like was supposed to be on paper. The highlight for week two of the big 12 BYU. 28 to 17 over the Arizona wall cats and bear a box. Myer. I think has added past like I think I heard somebody talk that I think maybe was Iowa everywhere where they wanted to see the next evolution of bear box. Myer because they already knew. What do you have with his legs, but with his passing that's something where you want to see him evolve. And I think he did in this game. Three touchdowns 217 passing yard 16 to 26.

Pretty good day for yeah for bear box. Myer BYU L. J. Martin with 98 yards off the 20 carries. So big good day for BYU at home against Arizona gets a conference win. And I think this sets up to like BYU to maybe go back go back to the big 12 title game and maybe try to win the thing this time around. Yeah. The team. Oh yeah. This is a very good point again. Thanks for watching impeccable King says the teams that had question marks next to them seemed to outperform much for little expectations from national media. The teams that were expected to win did but just not so it's unexpected and that's a good point impeccable King mainly because like if you see the teams that were picked to be last a lot of. If you heard a lot of the talk it was definitely very very lazy lazy lazy analysis. And now allowances from national people especially from cover three especially Tom for Nelly when he said that he may have been wrong about Iowa state.

When even when if you've seen a lot of Iowa state media a lot of people said that this team is not going to be as bad as you think. But a lot of national people didn't want to hear it want to hear that really go. Oh yeah. They just saw Matt Campbell left there. This is a dead program. I'll put it for him. Yeah. It's real quick. I have to find the grip like. Oh yeah. But I mean also to like I do want to pull like although this is it like it's an Iowa podcast the NF podcast those guys do a great work and I think they did some really good work and relation to the side hot game. So if you're like somebody who's willing to take it on the chin and listen to an aisle podcast the NF podcast guys. They do a really good job. So I have solid analysis. So so that that would be a good listen. So I mean yeah but back to the big 12. The why you they look to be probably the number two team. On like in the big 12. Is it really at least for what it looks like.

So yeah so we can like move them. I do want to say real quick. So some other highlights that happen around the conference. Kansas State 34 seven over Washington State eight. I think outside of a pick six to Avery Johnson through this was a pretty good. This was a pretty good outing for the wild cats on the first year of coach Colin Klein. And I think if Kansas State can really clean up something like call climate because done a really good job by getting Avery Johnson back to what I think a lot of people expected. Yeah especially there would be nice to. It has final season there um to have some type of good season and you look at this you look at this. I mean you look at.

They have to lay next week. I think they're going to destroy their absence and that he Houston at home and then the sunflower showdown before they have to go to ASU. There's a good chance that we could see them go undefeated and be six and out by the time they go have to go to 10. Yeah. 6 and 0 5 and 1 maybe I guess I don't know if I say maybe a loss to Houston. I have Houston continues to trend up like they have been. Yeah. But yeah. And then the back half Oklahoma state. I think Oklahoma state like they can do what they did like what to see where those two teams are. And then ending the season at Iowa State you know what I would love nothing more than for eight to ruin Kansas State season. One more time before they before we get rid of farm again in as an annual game and speak of that safe farm again and this should not even happen to first because I don't know why we're still having this whole thing farm again needs to be a protected rivalry. I think that should be the goal of the new ADS so it's to save that game.

Yeah. So so Kansas State another impressive win they've looked good through their first two games us and then just real quick some other teams around the big 12 Baylor gets a 44 to three win over Prave you not much there after Baylor's heart breaking loss to Auburn they get back to the win. And then they come to go one of one TCU 63 to seven over Gramley state I mean it's it's almost it's your two points off of doing the reversal to another team that has the same local's Gramling but that is the Georgia Bulldogs. Cincinnati 62 to 10 over WCU so Cincinnati like kind of an early form Cincinnati once again let's see if they can sustain Houston 77 to 6 over Southern Colorado 52 to 21 over Weber State after that win over Georgia Tech West Virginia 52 to 7 over UT Martin and I saved UCF for last because Boyle boy AIDS looking bad another road loss for Scott Frost and company as they drop.

The game to pit 12 to 7 and it looks like they're quarter back they got from Bennett or bear yeah. Yeah bear it um he'll be I was going to be out for two weeks with a strain hamstring so it is looking dire right now for UCF. Yeah Scott it ain't looking good for Scott Frost and company down it's down in Orlando so I mean that's kind of like Europe I think I was honestly yeah that's your big like the big 12 mixed bag kind of week you have some really good highs is really lows. I mean before we get to maybe like preview like previewing some things ahead the national slate there are some really there's some really fun things that happen nationally I mean start all Thursday I guess Miami doing Miami things 77 to 7 over Florida and I'm doing medsa looks to be as advertised for almost perfect passing 252 yards of three touchdowns I think Malachi Tony looks even better than he did last year which is somehow.

The statement made and then Saturday some really I think there's some really big results especially the top 25 you kind of we got we got we got we got to talk about the battle for the worst team in the world. The top 25. So the record is going to take the cake. A bunch of us 28 to 21 on the road to Boston College and I think it's safe to say that they are going to be the worst team in cops above the share. And this is after they lost from convincingly at home to you mass aka you ask that some people would call it. I don't know who's more down bad right now but workers is certainly in the conversation. And I speak to Boston College this is their red band and again because this was the this like past weekend was 25th anniversary 911 and Boston College did their red band and the game in honor of well I can't have a last name of Boston College of LUM who sacrificed his life to save many other lives on that day so they did that

and I think it's another like it's a great trip you want to see outside of the like game itself that's such a good like great great tradition for Boston College and I think they got to keep it up. It's good and it's good to see I think a lot of teams also had tributes to 911 attacks which is really good. That was one of those things it was one of those things where like I think a lot of people came around and you know was unified. Yeah even through this so really great tribute to Wells I don't remember the last name but I remember the lot of Jersey set for Wells. So I'll have to see that but yeah great tribute and a great win for Boston College 20 to 21 so that's kind of the front like kind of your Friday night slate and Saturday. You have anything to say about your Florida Gators. Yeah obviously you know they played in no one in Campbell but they the offense like sharp again and five last six and 21 to 42. So I think I'm so glad they won the first two games but here's how their schedule sets out Auburn and then I think you look at this.

3rd. Uh huh. Correct. Uh fortunately that was not the case as Ohio state. Man is to find a way to the church away a twenty point lead and lose that game. Twenty four to 23 to the Texas Longhorns, I can believe it. This is gotta be embarrassing if you're Ohio state but I mean number first of all. This is a big win for Texas. They needed this after they lost in Columbus to previous year you get this win archman This is kind of like big like kind of coming out party if you will maybe For his improvement, but yeah, Texas gets a big win over Ohio State and I think they moved up to number one in the country So big win for them and then there was a bunch of off-field antics too with like Steve Sarkiesian Throwing all likes like just denying post game interviews I know there's the one with Holly Row as well Which I think I saw that circulates like trending to around social media

Yeah, and then for some reason there is a political discourse from political candidate because of unfortunately You know with some political statements about the way Some type of students that Texas have look I still can't believe we have people Judging on the color of people's skin. Yeah, I have Yeah, I've got the tweet here. This is from both French who's a nominee of the Republican nominee Talks about like UT graduates. I don't believe it like and it's stupid like and we're doing like this whole thing I'm gonna get on my political tangent, but if I'm mistaken I'm pretty sure the enrollment numbers for the University Texas like are still like Like it's pretty much the same from 30 years ago. I mean isn't this like the whole like thing of like Embracing every like people embracing calls football. That's exactly what I think this image is It's it's that and then wanting people to be ingrained into American culture

Which is what they're doing and then I just saw the total BS of them saying oh, they're not Americans These guys these people that go to the school are probably first or second generation Americans and a lot of these guys were thought were were the top five 10% in their graduating place So I've been for you to say that they're not Americans It shows what you're truly really about like I thought what I thought the American that we lived in was The American that were which is a melting pot. I mean sorry to get politically against but that I felt like we needed we needed to Bring this up for a bit because that really really I'm sorry Yeah, and then I got to find I'm trying to find there's a Like demographic I mean Looking at like from the past like looks like the fall 25 semester is what I'm referring to yeah, there's I Think the numbers is pretty like it's 30 to 30 like 31% white 25 to 25 26% is paying Latino Asian 22%

And I feel like Preparing that to like 1990 if we want to do that for example I think I saw that it wasn't too different Still Texas is a big state And I think yeah, so I mean isn't this like what you're Like looking for like yeah kind of the whole integration but yeah anyways, but Yeah, the political BS aside. I mean This is a big one for Texas like this like I don't know Is are they gonna do the thing again? Where they say they're back? Well, we might just that might just be hilarious or somebody says The OU game oh oh oh we want to talk about Oklahoma. Oh, yeah, speak at Oklahoma This was that was the big noon game Oklahoma falls to Michigan 17 to 10 I mean before we even do any actual analysis. I've just found this picture to be funny

I have it up on the this is a The John Matier wiki page. I don't know this is but this is so funny. Oh Yeah, let's just say it was not a good day for John Matier at the Hold on I'm gonna do a lot. Let me let me let me actually like look at the live With the pdf. So let's see John Matier. Let's see Okay, no, it's change and obviously change but I mean that I saw that image after the game and I found that to be funny and I mean This is this is like Oklahoma went into this game going up against a Michigan team who had a lot of controversy behind him Obviously Western Michigan and a lot of downs I mean Michigan fell out the rankings after that Western Michigan game even though they won that game because of all the controversy But I think Michigan was able to put like that controversy behind him and get this win over a top 15 Oklahoma team and I think I don't know

Do you think there's some confidence now? I think not just with the fans, but the team themselves and Kyle winning him after a big win like this This is this is something that you need that this is a win that Michigan needed to get the fan base back on track I mean Obviously everybody thinks that that one that that win that they had What's a little bit of a mirage in the first game? But hey look at that you see now and you look you don't apologize for winning your two-in-oh and Let's look at that you look at the schedule now now winning this game I mean you look at them you got me you got a warm-up game against YouTube and then the game on the 26 against the Hawks Yeah, yeah Mm-hmm and speaking is like a real quick. Yeah, right back to Iowa I think that got announced I think I saw earlier today that got announced obviously at the 230 sleep But that got announced as the as the CBS game

So this is the Yeah, so let me see if I can yeah, so this got announced about At about 130 That this game will be take place on CBS September 26th Kirk Ferrets Kyle winning him on big 10 on CBS So really big spotlight for both teams and yeah, this is the big option for both teams because I mean I think I talked about this like I think some Iowa folks talk about this they could Iowa fans I think they have the belief that they can actually go win in beat Michigan and I think in a world they could I dare I say dare I say there is a world where Iowa goes into Ann Arbor Even though and beat Michigan with how Michigan looked like the past but this like against you Teps not gonna be much but the conference opener for both teams So it's gonna be a lit Miss test for both the Iowa guys and the Michigan Wolverines on CBS to really see which of those two are gonna Be in the upper tier of the big 10 alongside Indiana and USC and USC at the even though they play weaker opponents have actually look impressive

But back to Michigan schedule. Yeah, then your admittance soda and then the game against end state and Then host Indiana at Rutgers for against Michigan state at Oregon hosting UCLA and then you go to the horseshoe on big nude at the end of the year for the game Hey, can it be a better season for them than we thought and And Hopefully it will work out for Michigan Yeah, we go down the slate and when there are some other interests and they're all Well, let's see Alabama Kentucky that first have market a lot of you that actually was decent But then Alabama was able to pull away, but I mean the fact that both first touchdowns were scored by Pick sixes ye had even a thick six. I think For Kentucky so Kentucky was in there for a half and then Alabama just pulled away But Alabama looking a little like they looked a little shaky, but ultimately we're able to find a win

We already mentioned a text tech organ state USC 49 to 30 I mean, there's not too much to take away, but USC you 3 and 0 so for Lincoln Riley I think I was talking with some people is this the year where Lincoln Riley has to go to playoffs or he or he's fired Probably Yeah, I mean considering Lincoln Riley in his years at USC hasn't really done too much Hasn't made a college full-play off I think yeah if USC doesn't make the college full-play off this year I think that could be maybe some fans wanting Lincoln Riley fire. It could be grounds for her. So fans wanting him out Yeah See you see Penn State Penn State 27 to 9 and If you if you if you went to the Marshall Penn State page

Oh Frustrated right now. Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, I think even some Iowa State fans have like chimed in so Maristu Penn State I know I know some fans probably want to see that I know a lot of fans probably don't But this is they would get the mention just because like I am kind of a petty pretty S would be So Penn State Borough still asked earlier in the morning After two weeks of Penn State football. What is your biggest concern or take away hand in the week three? I think I saw one of the big things I saw was the use like Carson Hanson That they were a lot of fans were not like in the use of Carson Hanson And then Well, well, well, the term tables and then I saw some people say no pass rush. I just saw that and I'm like Oh my god So the pets those pets they fans now you know how I always stay fans felt since we've lost one McDonald

No passers and this is even without Johnny Hakeock and like there is no shade of John Hakeock too Like obviously he retired so he's not even on the Penn State staff John Hakeock did a lot revolutionized the big 12 But everybody adapted eventually The 3 through 5 became a liability I think defensively because you weren't getting a pass rush so now you're getting that it is a whole area And I mean even have some Penn State fans going after other Penn State fans for overreacting like this so This is kind of funny and then kind of back into this game too. I found this to be kind of a WTF moment They showed this during the broadcast I took this as like Are you serious are they trying to correct a Penn State for all this? Why I never thought it actually like I knew the commentators would probably mention us a Gonna a chunk amount during a Penn State game, but then to have this actual graphic

I'm just like To some it's felt like a spit in the face and the meat yeah And you know what's also to their omitting Dom Orange which I find absolutely disrespectful Hi, they're gonna omit big citrus to this if you're gonna do this graphic You got you got to put everybody and that includes Dom Orange for the Minnesota Vikings like what are we doing? What do we do? You unfortunately Cyclone fans, we're not gonna be we're not gonna skate this so unfortunately we have to go and Yeah, I mean, I mean hey, but I mean I guess the other side of it I have done a little bit of Troy saying like you know how like People trying to throw jazz and I will state that I'm like wait a minute. No, they're like what the Ignorance of some I can be like no, they're they're wearing blue and white and they're located in State college Pennsylvania Right Don't people are ignorant enough and I can be like yeah, I absolutely believe it so I mean I find that that that was absolutely funny just like unreal

I've been deal and I mean yeah, I mean it's a part of my like I Obviously drink responsibly number one so disclaimer there But I did have that as a part of a season long drinking game where anytime You somehow find yourself watching Penn State game and they mentioned Iowa State Mac Campbell as a or anything related to it Take a drink Yep, that's a part of it. So yeah that so well, we're gonna go ahead and move on from that because I think I don't know We probably spend enough time on the Penn State and I think we just lost a good portion of the Little assuming audience for that And two two two game that want to talk about before we go and look at some week three actions in the conference Tennessee was able to pull away from Georgia Tech 4524 that control control the game and Washington survives Utah State 1614 Oh That I mean watch the 10 I mean First two games you sure like you had the apple cup against Washington state You didn't really pull like you didn't like you were in a dog fight in that game

You won that game for 14 and then you had this game against Utah State. So I don't know we're I don't know If you're concerned if you're a Washington fan Um Yeah Luckily for you if you're a Washington you've got Eastern Washington and Minnesota coming into your building And then your first road game of the year is against USC In Memorial LA Coliseum and the LA Coliseum and then you host Iowa on Friday night October 9th Yeah so A golden opportunity for them to Be become better before they host Iowa a big game So yeah, let's um with that obviously week two Um, it was sort of so they were some good matchups some blowouts, but as we roll on we're gonna look forward to week three and look at the big 12 Look at some of the matches that we have there

Yep Obviously the first match of we talked about this a little earlier. This is gonna be a big one on Fox Number 22 Houston travels to Lubbock to take on number 13 Texas tech You mentioned this was probably gonna this gonna probably be a measuring stick game for both teams Texas tech comes in as a set or right now the seven and a half point favorite I do think this is gonna be a much repetitive game that it was last year. I think Texas tech would still it's gonna like we still win this game But I think he's gonna give him a runner for their money Yeah, I just like what I see out of ConnoWakeman will efforts in So that's your Friday night lights game And then you have the Saturday this got announced earlier on the day from Iowa State football Iowa State will play bowling green at 11 a.m. ESPN you the spread for this game is 23 and a half I think this is a good opportunity for Iowa State to one really just assert like just absolutely run all over bowling Green bowling greens one of the worst teams and all of the FBS so

I think if you're out of state you just want to run away with this game from this jump and not let anything happen And obviously reset everybody like and before you have a conference play and I think maybe a good message to for the fans I think this is a game you've got to get out to and we got a fill of Jack Christadium. Yeah, especially after the performance Against Iowa. I think there's a lot more conferences teams. So I think it would be really helpful too if you have That like that state impact and obviously Reades confidence and I think Hopefully we maybe see a little more evolution of the offense Especially the offense of line and the white receivers because that's like those been two spots I think I've been a little bit of concern like the white receivers two years in a row has been Disappointing so really helping Iowa State can use this game as a confidence Getter and have some momentum heading into the light out game against Utah Yeah, I just want to say please guys show up show up for the game this this weekend

I'm not gonna be there. So please show out show up and show out please Oh, yeah, and also speaking to the uh speaking of the Utah game it also got announced to the time uh the kickoff time for the whiteout game on Fox then It's announced that Iowa State and Utah will kick off at 230 central time for the whiteout and I found myself to be pretty disappointed that this isn't a night game Yeah, unfortunately, it's not but uh yes I figured that it wouldn't be it probably would have been if we would have won against uh against uh Iowa but Unfortunately, that's how the country comes roast So yep, but I mean still regardless like it's not like I mean, it's probably not too bad of a time Uh, but still definitely one of the white the white only in but uh kind of back to the right like so that's kind of that Already mentioned it to uh can stay will host to lane at 11 a.m. ESPN 2 That's to like that. It should be at can stay actually running routes all over the green wave to lanes kind of

That's made it's past couple years And then we have the game in London on fs1 Arizona state taken on Kansas Arizona states a five and a half point favorite in that game and boy-o-boy. I mean If you're both of these teams need this win After losing their respective games to SEC opponents. I think the five's me. I don't know who do you think me says win more Arizona stator Kansas. Oh definitely Kansas if if Kansas can somehow write the ship and win this game That's gonna be huge for their confidence and pop and possibly making a bowl game Um because I think they have a buy good after this game going and then they and then they have enough a non-con opponent. So If he keep much bigger uh win for Kansas and then it would be for ASU. Uh-huh Yep, and number 17 Utah hosts Utah state you the you should absolutely kill Utah state in this game I don't know. I mean look I'll say this

Utah state like yes they lost the Idaho state they gave Washington to run for their money last week um I this is a game where Utah should not even though they're a four and a half touchdown favorite This is a game where Utah cannot take Utah state lately because they could get beat Mm-hmm So kind of watch over that one uh that will be on two-thirty on fox Then Miami of Ohio heads to TQ Australia to take down Cincinnati since tonight. You're looking to continue um They're like start to the season uh go three and oh 14 and a half point favorites in that game since tonight I should take your business in that game Then at three on Yeah, Baylor Louisiana Tech three o'clock central on ESPN new I out of the out of what they expect with Baylor at this point like I didn't really take too much from their win over preview in them Yeah, I mean either and Louisiana Tech got destroyed by the last year so we'll see they should be able to win that game

um I i'm not gonna lie to you look at this ESPN plus game I'm worried that UCF might lose they they could lose to Georgia state. Oh 18.5 really really like if I'm a betting man and if I'm a betting man and and obviously the shows presented by fan duel if I'm a betting man and I go to fan duel and I'm looking at this game I might I could take Georgia state Take the points Yeah, for Georgia's game for Georgia state. Yeah, and then also in the ESPN at six o'clock We mentioned it a little bit Oklahoma state hosting Murray state honestly Oklahoma state so just like you got it like can let that organ game really be a hangover So you got to go out and convincingly beat Murray state Yeah, um, and then we have a interesting game against a battle of undefeated as uh As GBYU goes into four Collins and plays a undefeated uh

Colorado state team as former quarterback hot s he is had a really really good season so far um leading the Colorado state um Colorado state Rams with a new head coach Jim Moran Yeah, and I think I saw so you will say like watch out for Colorado state this game especially in four Collins BYU-70 and a half other Colorado state maybe could keep it competitive and maybe BYU polls away late In this game that's on cbs. So All right, I beat a part of it to like tune into that um, so liking with Maybe that could be that could be a sleeper game non-contained And then you also have six at six thirty on the ac network west Virginia hanging to the university of Virginia at the number 25th ranked Cavaliers uh, I mean Virginia, I mean they actually are looking pretty like pretty decent the acc They absolutely dog wug NC state 34 to 8 and then took care of Norfolk state 59 to 3 so

I mean, certainly this is a pretty good like pretty decent test for uh second year rich rod Yeah, I honestly think that um this Virginia team might be the second best team in the acc And actually uh, this game was gonna be a neutral site game. This game is in Charlotte Oh, oh, oh, I didn't see I forgot that game is that Charlotte so neutral site game to run home or maybe Oh, let's go Yeah, and also we've got a We're doing live reporting a baseball too. I just saw I just tuned into the braves game. We're down fighting nothing to the cob Oh We're up six to nothing over their guardians. Let's go baby So you see the difference in our Difference in us like two type the different types of fans and Dueling men Yeah It's like the it's like the image of the two sides on a bus or whatever Or somewhat that this is why I mean there's a perfect game image too that represents like what we're feeling right now

Yeah, Tyler absolutely live it loving life and I'm over your Not in misery just because of watching the cops asleep put they put five on us and we're not even like we're we're in the fourth inning Oh boy Oh, it's it's that's gonna be a long game, but Back to all his football back to the big 12 colorado heads to Evanston to take on north western I This in a north western or three and a half point favorite, but I don't know something about colorado Maybe they can come out and pull out another win Uh over big 10 team and I think that'd be huge for the conference. It definitely would be If I colorado can go to Evanston and get this win Hey colorado could maybe go bowling this year because it only did your more wins So that's that could be a game to watch out for Um, you see TCU hosting Arkansas states Uh Arkansas state a good old friend of Iowa state Yes, thank you for Jalen Rainer

Yep, and then and then the the the big 12 after dark game on tnt Uh the northern Illinois Huskies head down to Tucson to put to take on the Arizona Wildcats Arizona 34 to half point favorite in this game Obviously Arizona should just they need to absolutely just mall and I you and I you if I look at put 40 points On northern Illinois Arizona you need to be able to probably do the same if not more yeah Listen to you lost to FCS upon the Illinois state last week at home It is rough time right now if you are I think I'd be I'd be probably more insult if I was in our u-fan for letting Iowa score 40 on us But I digress Yeah, one of my friends uh friend of the show John uh really good friend of mine is and then I you'll love and he's going through it man Yeah, so

Tough standings for NAU fans Yeah, um We go through and we uh look at the national slate interesting game on uh on Thursday as this is a former Big East um matchup Syracuse goes on the road to Acro sure and plays Pittsburgh on Thursday Mm-hmm, so we have some ACC action there uh might as well And then also on Friday we have some more ACC action number five Miami heads to Winston-Salem to take down the wake for is demon deacons Miami's a 20 half point 20 and a half point favor in that game So if you're Miami you ideally just want to be the tower on a wake force and prove that you are the number one team in the ACC and maintain like uh what you got going with dare and meant uh in maltitonia Exactly We've already mentioned Houston Tech-Stack and then organ after suffering that loss to Oklahoma state and job 15 spots in the rankings heads back home to ought to stay and take important state

This has to be this is a massive rebound game For organ they got to come out and look really good in this one Otherwise the conference is gonna go even lower after at the last after the first two games for the organ ducks Hmm And then So heading over and then uh at six o'clock I think you you are talking about Florida gators Florida heads Jordan Hare to take on the first year head coach Alex Golis and the Auburn Tigers Florida a two and a half point favor in this game So I almost a toss up a field goal. Yeah, and I think this game can go either way Yes, this game could either way um honestly Whoever wins this game this could be a springboard going into this schedule for Florida if they could win this game um They're the outlook of their season definitely changes especially going into that that that an insane three game gauntlet that they have in October I believe it's like Texas Texas a and then or I want to say Texas Texas Texas Georgia and then Oklahoma back to back to back to back

so If they're if they're able to uh get this win I think it possibly be six and one or seven and one going into the Georgia game and Who knows Florida could have a magic season Uh their way if they can win this game the schedule definitely open that's if you win this one. Yeah Yeah, I think yeah, you mentioned it. Yeah, uh, yeah after Auburn Yeah, hosting Ole Miss which I mean we've seen Florida the past couple years get that random random surprise win in the swamp That could be a good spot and then at number 20 Missouri I honestly like Florida in that one and then I guess South Carolina Uh, that should be a win for you could be a win for you that could be a toss up as well And then you had to dcr to take on Texas and then yeah you get Georgia on the 31st October still could be you We'll see how that plays out Meanwhile you have 10 30. Ooh 10 30 kick off central. I'll CBS Sports Network coastal Carolina Delaware So some mid-major action coastal Carolina gave weft gin you run for their money So I may I might find myself watching this somehow because hey, I'm a college football so go so it's beautiful and it's the morning like come on

That no better way to start your day and start your college football slay it off and watch some uh coast to Carolina Delaware football Yeah, sir. You're sick if you're sick or you got to Yep, and then uh keep it in the SEC Number two Georgia has to fadeville has to run on raise back stadium take on the Arkansas razor backs Georgia a 25 and a half point favor in Georgia. I mean it should steam real Arkansas. So they're gonna easily come for in this game Yeah, do you think by half time to the third quarter? Uh by the third quarter Okay, yeah, 11 a.m. I'll also at 11 a.m. But on Fox the Georgia Arkansas game was on ABC on Fox Ohio State comes back To the horseshoe comes back to Columbus to rebound after a loss after a blown lead and a loss the moralizing loss to Texas Against Kent State Ohio State 52 and a half point favorites And they're gonna cover it. This is game was gonna be ugly Gonna take it out on Kent State

Uh, sorry Kent State you just happen to be the unfortunate victim. Sorry golden flashes Yep, shout out to Lynn Uttleman Yeah Then also and then another 11 a.m. kickoff this time of the big 10 network number 14th rank Penn stage slash Iowa State At this point Takes on Buffalo Penn State 39 and a half point favorites. I swear it Like you know how like there's always been the thing where like uh, we've seen this as Iowa State fans past three years Where Matt came will struggle against G 16th. I hope that was the kick that was the the one struggle against Temple if it's not I'd be concerned even more concerned than I already was We are to Nendice Eclips Heh that this point Yeah, so so we'll see you that one not probably gonna keep tabs on that one just uh for obvious reasons Already mentioned Kent State Kansas their game Georgia Tech takes on Mercer Georgia Tech looking to get in the wind column for the first time

And then norcare lineup Clemson on ESPN. Oh boy if you're Clemson Clemson They've looked a little shaky you first get pissed pounded by the Langes rain and at Bad Arrows Which by the way is now officially the real death valley is tiger stadium in Bad Arrows not Clemson and then Georgia what was it Georgia Southerne? Actually kept that game competitive against Clemson I knew they would I knew they would Yeah, so Like Clemson looking to really like kind of like still try to have sub sort of claim to like Like maintain the hold on to their spot upon the top tier of The ACC North Carolina looking to take that spot Akron taking on Minnesota Minnesota looking to rebound after getting uh dog walked away by the Bulldogs Mississippi State North Texas Texas State on the USA Network and then Wisconsin Eastern Michigan on peacock I don't Wisconsin on

This is probably a year where if it doesn't go right for Wisconsin Luke fickles. I would say it gets fired Yeah We'll look at it East oh wait wait wait wait is there any like thing that we have for Eastern Michigan No, I just trying to see I want to see if my player is on my I don't really need to find them Uh, check the defense uh, see is he on this one or already turns uh Oh wait, I see Oh, we love it That he have any stats this week oh We we we got to check the on up are our favorite uh our favorite our favorite white boy Yes, that's uh Game log check the game log check the game log has he even seen snaps

No, I don't think you see him Oh If you understand college football humor or any sort of humor this is this is right Oh, I had to I had to Just And all that that's probably all the good news you're gonna get at Eastern Michigan But Wisconsin should ask the role over them on peacock yeah, I'm not Sorry Uh, Etsy state heads to Vanderbilt Vanderbilt on it like that's a little bit of a toss up Why only central michigan swarm mid major action Boston college Main I keep keep don't we're gonna keep going we're somehow gonna find every single FBF FBS game. Let's go Illinois. Uh, I think what they took the lost a duke Yeah, the previous week and how's it looks good, but yeah, their defense is gonna struggle They should be able to be southern Illinois, but we'll see Yep

Teple Toledo Yeah To a clonk and then Kentucky has the Kyle field let's take on number nine Texas a&m Yeah a&m should be able to handle them Uh But they they they looked uh Kentucky looked impressive last week in the first half I do think if they're they're scheduled pretty brutal, so I don't know if they'll be a ball team, but we'll see um and Bama I mean if hopefully they don't have a slow start of that uh, I'm not gonna lie FSU looks pretty hapless or she they should be able to handle FSU, but we'll see I'm Florida Stamman. I don't know what's more like I watch in that game their game gets SMU And Mike Dorvel call call in the game or their offense It just reminded me of Tom Manningball for so many reasons. I I yeah at this point. Yeah, Mike Dorvel like his seat is already hot again like it's already hot again

Um also oh no Oh no You know what it would be the most Rutgers to the new is to drop that game the UMass and the game the UMass boss college that somehow pick up a win Over USC it would just be it would just make the most logical sense he calls football for that to happen Then also a ranked matchup in the ACC SMU has to Louisville to take on the Cardinals Louisville actually looked pretty decent against all men So watch out for Louisville, but SMU is looking to really be maybe the number two team behind Miami in the ACC That's gonna be a fun matchup at 230 Um, we go down and yeah, that's mid yeah, but it's mid major and then UMass undefeated going to get Stone Hill, you know what screw. We're going. I'm all you mass go get the three. You know, let's go You're mass your mass is going to a bowl game this year. You heard it here. Oh, that would be great

That would be the I don't know if anybody else has said it, but if you have we said it first Our Tyler said it first Indiana hosting what's Kentucky and then Iowa hosting Northern Iowa. I think I saw a tweet from a good I think it was a good friend of like ours Matt with two S's on Twitter He said it be the most funny thing for Northern Iowa to pull the upset against Iowa It would be funny if they had a lead-up right after the side-hunt game And then before they played Michigan After playing us and surviving us Yeah, and then we get to some sickle ball on the CW stand for travels across the country to take on the Duke blue devils Who also might be the second to match team of the ACC? Well, we'll have to see we will have to see Duke getting that win over Illinois. I think give some confidence to the blue devils We've had to add a segment. We might have to add a segment on who is the second best team in the ACC

At this void the ACC who I mean, I've heard it could call tank conference. What who knows what they're gonna be Ball state Liberty on and then yep, and then Mississippi State South Carolina. Oh I think this is a big game for both teams South Carolina fans are I don't know how many of them are really confident in Shane Beamer But I think South Carolina probably wants to get like at least an SEC win. This is a good opportunity for them to get a win But also Mississippi State I believe Jeff Levy at the home. Yeah, just Levy at the home Camario Taylor their young running their young quarterback. Yeah, um, they the Mississippi State fans are very very excited about him So Mississippi could get a big win in Columbia. They could get rolling Yeah, and then well to see Camario Taylor versus Nora sellers. I think they're I think there's some fans In Columbia that are still a high on the Nora sellers as the quarterback for the game cox

So that's an evenly matched up one. So that's a sleeper SEC matchup. Yes me. Then you had some And then going down the ESPN You all won real ticket on Southeast Louisiana Then East Carolina heads to Norfolk to take on old dominion FIU FAU Some sickle bowl right sickle ball right there for Within the state of Florida Then the only two Charlotte 49ers who lost to FCS to sit at L3 over times go up against former Iowa State and Former Iowa State and Anke legend JJ Cole in the abstracted Mountaineers And he lost a guy too Oh nice So that's on ESPN plus Missouri State Marshall and CBS Sports Network number 20 Missouri takes on the Trojans of Troy Honestly, Network Plus I've already mentioned Georgia State UCF so and then Yukon heads down the hair To Hadisburg Mississippi take on Southern Miss I never thought I'd see that in my life Memphis takes on UT Martin Rice against Western Michigan

Honestly with West Michigan receiving votes. I could see West yeah, Western Michigan Should be able to take care of business in that game. It's just take care of Russia South for a host Delaware State middle Tennessee Nevada The Bob Kits of Ohio against South Alabama Georgia Southern Jacksonville State that could be uh, that's quite And Oh, North The fighting hogs of North Dakota taking on the corn huskers of Nebraska Nebraska. I mean To what is worth the perhaps I mean we've seen the script before about who knows what can happen Nebraska If they can shake off the slow starts to should be able to take care of business against North Dakota that game It's at 16 on the big 10 network and then Washington who has been limping the first couple of weeks They host Eastern Washington. So maybe Washington fans are hoping that Washington could just take care of this is there and then We have a renewed game renewed get right a bit of game on NBC at 6.30 p.m. Between Michigan State and Notre Dame

Notre Dame number three in the country Should be interesting knit Notre Dame should go in this game easily With a sweat and of course the game of the week man Oh And face is old miss And this game this is a game we talked about in the offseason Boy this is gonna be a dandy Oh just just the I don't know the amount of toxicity at all that there is just something that I don't know what it is man Oh dude, I need to see like I'm probably gonna be following SEC especially almost in LSU Twitter Just to see what type of things they come with it I hope to see all miss like you know how like you have those hate week banners I wonder if anybody's gonna do anything for all miss they just have something at the grove There's gotta be something related like there's gonna be a bunch of things related to lane kiffy for sure But I mean all things aside this could actually be a pretty good game like this is about like a three

Yeah, LSU favorite by three, but This game could go either way. So out like this could not only be a pretty hot like a pretty tossy awesome But also a pretty fun game of calls football Yeah, oh yeah, I can't wait to watch that one. I mean there's some people that said that I gotta watch SEC football I watch good football bro, so I don't care who it is Yeah, I have my qualms with the SEC and things like that But I mean hey when the games like I know for sure the games on the games on like I'll tune it and it's like Well, we're out to see and then keep it in the SEC Number 24 Oklahoma hosts new Mexico's Oklahoma Jomit here trying to rebound from that loss At the big house So Oklahoma is a 22 and a half point favor and try to get themselves right before SEC play begins for them And then you see I think that's oh wow Virginia tech Goes on the road in face is undefeated Maryland September Maryland is in full effect. Oh here we go

September Maryland and we got September Maryland versus big game James Franklin I don't know if we consider this a big game, but hey, I guess what door it in there because there is this is first year for Genetek under James Franklin the five the former head coach Penn State I mean for genetek thus far has looked competent And their games. I mean to be fair last year they did I believe they did lose the old dominion So for genetek taking care of this is against old dominion this this time around Scots of confidence there and hey enter Samman is still one of the best entrances And this is until I saw somebody said like oh Virginia tech air Sam is only good because he flashed a bunch of lights and I'm like Isn't that for it's not for every entrance though. Isn't that for every time you see an empty stadium Like of course is they're gonna hit as much when it's an empty stadium Like the crowd is a major part of it Tennessee Hostes Kennesaw State Tennessee should absolutely run all over them Texas after that big win over Ohio State Hostes UTSA

Archmaning this should just be him step-hating then Tulsa to another start the year goes up against East Texas A&M Tulsa Looking to continue their momentum UAB Host on the road against Louisiana Lafayette the raging Cajuns The South Dakota travels to Boise. Travis of the Blue Turf to take on Boise State They got a huge win over Memphis who was gonna be another team to watch out for to take that playoffs So Boise is basically in the driver's seat if they have a good season and probably went out to probably get that spot But hey James Madison is two and one on the road. I um and the senior state North Dakota State Well another team that we get to watch out for who could probably take that spot They've looked in front of moving up to F.D.S. they have in like the people who I don't know if they were there We see have to go of them, but they are just they're not just like winning they are running over opponents But actually I was watching the game gets Air Force Air Force actually did a good job. They kept up with North Dakota State

So North Dakota states like first game in the mountain was as a member of it Pretty competitive game gets the Air Force and then a Sacramento State Sacramento State has like both teams in this game moved up to the FBS level. We can see what happens The two types of teams that move up in the FBS level you have the North Dakota States the world Then you have the Sacramento States of the world. So this should honestly just be an absolute doozy Of a game North Dakota State the Pice is just run over sack state and then we got some big 10 app dark Who would have thought Purdue travels to the West Coast to the roles will take on UCLA UCLA a 14 and a half point favorites. So who knows maybe UCLA can actually do something in the big 10 Yeah, we'll see We have oh and to or can say facing off against FCS power Montana And then to end the night we got some late night What was I guess technically packed like late night patch 12

Technically I'm saying technically yeah, I think technically this is yeah technically this is packed like I think yeah you yeah you I mean, I don't know at least yet. Yeah, Fresno State. Yeah Fresno State in the patch 12 So yeah, I could consider this packed 12 after dark Fresno State traveling to San Jose State. So we have a packed over a mountain west matchup Fresno State is a six and a half point favorite. So yeah, we tend to get packed 12 after dark. I could play Yeah, man you guys we're here. We have almost got an hour and a half Thank you like and and we were gonna talk about bowling green But you know what we'll just save that for Thursday show. Yeah, I'll go ahead and say my piece of a bowling green This like for me this should just be an op this should be a game where Iowa State gets like confidence gets momentum back Absolutely takes care of business. I want to see absolutely Improvement like obviously you got it like clean up some things in the offense

I want to see Jailer Rainer obviously do more with his legs Off its flying clean up some of their like penalties and then the defense continue to do what you do Now absolutely dominate on the defensive lines. Oliver Slimgin jacked and a cast keep Isaac Bobby Torell And then I want to see the the DB. I want to see the secondary devolved to that needs to be another thing because the The fence of back room. I think it's the kind of the weak link of the Iowa State defense. So I mean there's like that So I'm looking for opportunities there for the offense like just opportunity like opportunity to improve just all around That's kind of my take. That's this is like where you have the opportunity Yes And I feel and uh, we also were able if you can if you want to go to the basketball page the big Monday matchup got released Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, so yeah, so we had some announcements uh, we're going to the big 12 basketball like I personally this is like more like No, I will house. I mean I personally do prefer

Like big to like basketball, but I will still tune into college football because that's like it's gonna right now But yeah, the big 12 has their big Monday games. Uh, we start February 1st Kansas the Kansas J Hawks will travel down Houston to take on Kelton Samson and the Houston Cougars Then on February 8th you have the TCU Hornfrogs traveling to Mikail to take on the Arizona Wildcats February 15th Houston will travel to Lubbock to travel the USA to take on the Red Raiders The 22nd of February Arizona heads to the Mary out center to take on BYU and then your Iowa State Cyclone men's basketball team We'll head to fog Allen to take on the Kansas J Hawks on March 1st This is a pretty good I think it's a pretty good slate for a big Monday It's gonna be a very good slate. I think Kansas is gonna be a lot better this year It's it's gonna be an insane year in the big 12 for basketball. Can not wait um We're probably about 40 plus days away from that. So

um, be to make make sure you are tuned in here on the believe in how to stay podcast We'll have all the basketball coverage here for you. Yep, and then I got a real quick while we're talking about big 12 There are some real quick things too late the volleyball I like I'll get my news like Iowa State. We unfortunately got swept by the Iowa Haw guys That's the I was first win over the Iowa State volleyball team in about like five years Unfortunately, they'd also loosely walk over the injury during that game So it's been a little shaky like for the volleyball team But I trust they can write the at trust Chrissy Johnson lints to write the ship But in the meantime, we do have some ranked teams in a volleyball number 12 Arizona State number 13 TCU Number 17 Colorado number 18 Baylor number 22 Kansas and number 24 BYU So the big 12 is having a good representation at least in the volleyball court. So we'll see what happens there So That so I mean that's like all the main like I think those are the big things But yeah, so a lot of things looking ahead and obviously I'm excited like for this calls football now

We're starting to get more into conference play and wait a minute. Hold on Wait, I just saw speak in a basketball So this is comes from about two hours like about like 552 So before just before started recording this comes from Trey Wallace It's that he tweeted out something saying today there is a eligibility lawsuit Against the NCAA Uh-huh, and this relates to Iowa State because among among the names Tamin Lipsy Looks like he's been so he's among the names. I'm gonna have to try to find him Somewhere he's somewhere on here, but looks like yeah, he's among The names here on this lawsuit I don't know. I guess I'm here. Oh I would say legend Ohio bobcat legend jacks pop. Yeah, I see a Tamin Lipsy right here So I don't know if you're crazy. So it says to it says and also this is Kevin Sweeney

Uh College football for sports illustrated Northwest like so he did mention to in his tweet like quote quoting this Tamin Lipsy had an E 10 contract with the Pacers, but he agreed to it, but he didn't sign So I don't know long. This is the this is definitely just throwing darts on a dart board blindfolded But is there a possibility Tamin Lipsy could return to Iowa State and obviously with the news and killing Taurus injury and he and being out of these conflicts play Honestly, I'm wondering if him and Trey have been having conversations obviously we're not trying to report here thing But that's just we're just speculating But maybe it sort of makes you think maybe maybe they did we're having having conversations if this is something You know that they've been trying I don't know we'll see yeah What a wild world we get fifth year Tamin Lipsy the I don't know if you would you want to see Tamin Lipsy come back from the year of course That would raise that would raise the ceiling of this team

Whether they spray his back court Yeah, and I mean with what tamin Lipsy brought I mean yeah, I think there is a portion of the fan base that probably doesn't want to see Like him play and I get why I mean we did all the fanfare stuff and I mean yeah, I get it It's fair because if we want to like do like these what other players not getting like these 50s whatever I think you kind of have that Sentiment to when it comes to tamin Lipsy, but listen I personally and you burst I know what you said too I wouldn't complain if I get a 50 or tamin Lipsy ball exactly bro And especially the leadership that tamin Lipsy brings to what like he does it on and off the court That I think it's like a good friend. That's a good presence that I'll always have in the locker room Completely agree.
