1:05Let's welcome in our panel this week of that. Steven Willis from Lockdown Ole Miss. John neighbors from Lockdown Razorbacks, Cory Burton, Locked On Vandy, Jason Smith, Lockdown Sooner, Eric Kane, Locked On Falls, and John Miller, Locked On Me, Zoo, welcome in-gense. We have a lot of intriguing games to get to, but before we do that, let's do like we do every week. Let's go around the horn and ask each of you to make a prediction about your team or game. Steven will start with Ole Miss. Not going to have 12 bus for 300 yards given up against the Charlotte 49ers. I think that's the thing. I think this is a get right game for the Rebels this week. Yeah, very well should be. John neighbors, we'll get to your game a little bit later. Tough one going out to Utah for the late night, Saturday night game. It's a tough one every time, Gordy. Yeah, it's like this is a new thing. Listen, this game is one that basically is like the make-up break for Arkansas. They're going to have a successful season. They got to take care of business in this one.

2:06But it is tough. I just love the fact that this game's probably going to end on Sunday morning, because it's at 9.15 kickoff central time. So that's going to be a lot of fun to talk about and have fun with, but either way, I think Arkansas is going to keep it close. But until I see them win a close game, I'm going to predict them to lose. It would be a huge feather in the cap of Brian Silverfield. Cory Burton, how about Vandy? Well, Jared Curtis is going to win the starting quarterback job. He is going out first this game instead of Blaze Burlewood. So I think he's going to do everything he needs to do to take care of solidifying the permanent quarterback one job. So that's my prediction. Yeah, you guys win the award for sloppyest football game in week one. It was the weirdest game I've ever seen, Chris. It was unbelievable. John Miller, give me a thought on Mizzou. Well, I think Jamal Roberts, by the way, a mod heart, he's still out for the Tigers. No word on him as of yet. But I think Jamal Roberts, because of that,

3:06sets his career mark in rushing this week against the J-Hawks, which he set last year against Kansas. 143 yards rushing on just 13 carries. He's going to blow way past that carries number this week. The Tigers really need him in a big way on Friday night. There's no doubt Morgan can be getting to that one in just a few minutes. Eric Kane, give me a prediction for your squad. Yeah, I think Tennessee wins by at least two touchdowns. I think Tennessee rushes for over 200 yards because I'm not sure. You guys watched that Colorado Georgia tag game. But Georgia Tech absolutely sucks in the trenches. So yeah, it's a game they should have won, but they let that one slip away. Jay Smith, Oklahoma, we're going to talk your game. You're match up a little bit later, but give me a prediction about your team this week. Later, I wouldn't have expected that, but that's okay. I guess no. I do believe that Oklahoma wins this game when the regulation actually expires. I don't believe an extra time will be able to be allowed in this one too.

4:08Make it seem like, but no, um, on a serious note. I actually think they hold Michigan under temple. I don't think they allow Michigan to score a actual offensive touchdown in this game. Yeah, the, the one second, you know, kind of took the college football world by storm. And I think just about everybody didn't didn't like it. And now they're making changes where they will actually make up the review crew there. Yeah, the NCAA changing rules, making standards, all of this. The Max saying you did this wrong. They're saying my bad. There's no way to overturn it. And it's like the playoff committee just needs to count at Michigan at O.M. One at this point. Yeah, yeah. The NCAA came out with the radical notion that this was leaked by the athletic anyway. That, hey, you know, the in game stadium clock. I think that should be official. Wow. Blow me over with a feather on that one. I thought that's how it was for the first 100 years of this sport. Yeah, I just love the fact that there's a sport now that has a clock that no one knows about.

5:08They know super secret clock. Yeah, yeah. I'm just glad the commissioner of the Mac actually sticking up for one of its teams. I understand, you know, you want that check from the big 10 every single year for those noncon games. But I mean, like, was it on Sunday? It's like, yeah, well, we respect. We respect everything in the big 10 daily did a great job. And then on Tuesday, it's like, yeah, we're going to, we're going to try to sue you to get that win. At least you're doing something. That is very true. I wonder what that sound is. Corey's doing a show from a cave apparently. So we'll wait. Wait, what? You just, you just did your mic. It's actually every time. No, no, no. I'm just going to, I'm just going to do. I'm just going to go ahead. I'm just going to go ahead. So here. And that touched my microphone. As I said, I alluded to, we're going to save the two big games for later. So if you're watching this, you're listening to a squad show. You want to get the Texas Ohio State Oklahoma, Michigan. I'm going to do those later, but we do have some other intriguing games to get to. Let's start with Friday night. It will be number 23, Mizzou at Kansas and John Miller.

6:10This is an old big 12 rivalry that just frankly, both sides hate each other. We did hear that Mizzou is going to get their starting left tackle. Caden Green back Friday night. So that is good news, but give me your thoughts on this one. Yeah, I know. Why didn't the zoo play on Saturday? I'm just wondering. I'm just wondering if you're going to get the same thing as the one that you're going to get. Because Fox wanted the game on Friday. It's as simple as that. It's at Kansas. So they get to say that's the God's honest answer. That really is the answer. I don't know if you'll remember that a few months ago, but Greg Sankie made this day. And he's like, we will never play on a Thursday or Friday. The SEC. We're playing on Saturday. That's when we play. And that's when Fox was like, hey, we're going to put on matchups and Thursdays and Fridays. So. Which by the way, it's hilarious. I just played on Big New and kick off, which is part of their reason for leaving to begin with. So that's kind of hilarious. Yeah, yeah. Shout out to Fox for going ahead and putting us right back in the hole we were before. The good thing is last year when we played Michigan, we got the primetime game.

7:10We got the night game. So I was very happy about that. But Texas gets it this time because they were big new last year. Yeah, we basically need a reason. Lose the big 12 was to get out those 11 o'clock kickoffs. All right, let's get back with Zoo Candace. John, go ahead. Yeah, so you know, there is the irony in college football never ending. But on Mizzou, Kansas, you know, obviously getting Caden Green back a huge deal from his. I think that was very much a precautionary move in week one. Drinkwood saying he looks totally fine, full confidence and go. On the other side, Kansas. I think this is a good deal for Missouri and the running game as well. Bam, crouch, a transfer from BC. He's out for the game. I think that was pretty obvious coming after week one. I think Missouri is going to be able to run the ball against Kansas. Love what I saw at Austin Simmons in week one. I think Missouri is going to score. My only question is, boy, I do like Isaiah Marshall, the Kansas quarterback, at least his talent. I'm really not sure totally what to make of him yet. But there are tools there. He's a dangerous player.

8:11Yeah, I like what we saw from zoo in week one. I get it. It was what arcades are behind the block forever. But Austin Simmons looked great and Donovan, Alubadeh. Yes. The kind of coming out. He was a freshman last year and then had a big night. So, you know, we'll see Jamal Roberts. You said, you know, well, she should have a big game. But anybody think Kansas puts up a fight in this one? No. No. No, no. Has no feel it. No. Interesting. Whatever reason I'm just with John, I'm very much team zoo when the Missouri Kansas game comes at. No matter what, no matter what the records, I'm going to be with the zoo. And drink is prune. It feels like you drink. Mizzou always starts the year like 4.0, 5.0. And then the schedule gets tough when you get the conference play. But that could well happen this season, especially look at the back end of Missouri schedule. You got Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma or three out of your last four. So this could be a really good team that people will be going, oh my god, they faded at the, I mean, who wouldn't possibly get that that quartet there?

9:13Three. One more of this segment. How about Saturday morning on ABC? It is 1 1 0 Arizona State at top 10 Texas A&M. Now a quick primer here. Arizona State's quarterback is cutter Bowley who had a little bit of success last year in Kentucky as a freshman. Oh, yeah. He threw six touchdowns in week one. Now again, who do you play? It was a nobody. But still, I know kind of intriguing an early game for A&M. A&M's had some of these early games with their kind of sleep walking through and kind of waking up. Anybody think Arizona State can kind of be in this one for a bit? I think they can. I think they can. I think it'll be a little bit back and forth, but I think A&M will. They'll pull away. I mean, it's just I think the talent gap will eventually skew in favor of Texas A&M. Did last year they lose to Mississippi State? Yes. They did. Yeah. Yeah. I'm Arizona State that not Texas A&M. I think Kyle Field. Yeah.

10:13It seems more like Arizona State is one of those teams that's getting talent plucked from it by the other power force than the other way. I know this podcast seems a little bit down on the Aggies. I'm not that down on the Aggies. I don't think they're going to lose this game at Kyle Field early in the season. Now they gave up zero points in week one. So Aggie defense is still pretty darn good. But I will say Alko had to come up this week and kind of defend Marcel Reed a little bit saying, I don't know why fans are down on him and all that. I'm like, that's pretty bold for week one. You're already having to go out and defend your quarterback. So and Marcel Reed was not bad last week. I just think he's not getting enough love or respect and particularly from the fan base, I guess. Yeah, the Twitter people they take bullet point. Once they have their take, they defend it into their death and the evidence does not change that opinion. So I mean, he could be punny good, but those same people that say sucks is going to say sucks. All right, one more return guys will get into some of the other bigger games happening. What got some drinking matchups this week? Cupcake weeks over.

11:15We got to mention the decent games will return the SEC squad show talking more ball coming to the next. A first one or mine you guys with the season having already kicked off.

13:24Our gents we get back into it and look at some of the games this weekend giving our thoughts on them have a Saturday afternoon. It is number 12 Alabama at 1 and 0 Kentucky any upset potential here for you guys will Stein versus Kaling to board. I don't think Alabama loses, but I think this could be sneaky good by do. Yeah, this this game has to me has felt like a big time trap game and it's mainly because Alabama plays Florida safety next week. I know I know I know Florida say stinks Alabama lost out to Florida state last year. So you know this on their mind that is the thing they're thinking about we've got to beat the crap out of them we've got to get our revenge. And so because of that this is a game that I could see an accidental look over type situation. Kentucky wasn't terrible week one they were actually not terrible and can he meant she looked like a solid quarterback so I think this game just like Eric mentioned this is going to be a funner game and people realize.

14:25I don't even know if Alabama actually covers this spread I think they win by 10 and it's like a 30 20 game or something like that. Yeah, Keel and Russell first road start that's something to keep an eye on maybe the big grocery bag up in Lexington's rocking for the first conference game of the year. But I think if Keel and Russell settles in and had improves like they normally do from game one to game two I think Bama is going to cover this game. I don't know why I can't prove it but I do like I think Bama is going to be pretty good for me to for me to get on the Bama train here. They've got to find some way to run the ball better. I think they're still there's still a lot of lingering questions with their ability to run the ball and it's just it's going to be one of those things where it's going to allow this game to be closer than it probably should be. But for Kentucky the home field deal it's tough to win in Lexington just because it's it's a weird atmosphere. It's like one of those atmospheres where it's like yeah you know it can be.

15:28It's draining on you and I mean teams go up there and win but like it's it's usually ugly is is kind of my point there except for maybe Tennessee for a lot of years but. I'm just. So I have a combination of Keel and Russell who I think is obviously incredibly talented but first road start I wonder if he just tries to scramble his way out of trouble a little bit too much and especially maybe understandably so with a bit of. Shakey offensive line from Alabama in the first week from all accounts I'm a little hesitant just because to be honest with you I didn't see Kentucky last week I'm really curious to see what can he mean she looks like of course and will signs hold offense but. That 10 and a half points on the road something tells me I should give it. So I think that's the one was much improved for Kentucky that they're trying to build back that big blue wall allows to live in from Alabama Lance herd who was at Tennessee you know they got big guys on that on that line out and then.

16:30So you back to former five star running back that was that Texas looked pretty good and a few notes here guys from the interior port Wednesday night Alabama right guard Michael Carol listed as doubtful. Here the there what number three running back he's listed as questionable not expected to go and then for Kentucky they're right tackle Malachi wood who missed last week is good to go they're two starting corners who they sat out last week are good to go and Javante Barnes the former O.E. running back is good to go so it's almost like will sign looked at the schedule went we're going to hold out a bunch of guys against youngstown and we're going to put them all out there against Alabama to make sure where we're full go so kind of interesting strategy I guess. Well I'm telling you right now Alabama is going to win this one and win it big because Kentucky still too worried about Mark Mitchell not being eligible so they can go get back. Yes well said neighbors we agree for once I love it spoken like a true Arkansas basketball fan their neighbors but that is the sport we care about.

17:30How about by the way raise your hand you are you taking Alabama to win this industry show fans okay so all y'all I'll stick with I just want to have fun I want to be good game I think you big game I'm a speed there I do think Kentucky is going to cover but Alabama wins yeah I agree with that my all season prediction I think Kentucky wins so I got they will they will they'll give well Stein a contract extension if he wins this one that would be a worthy field rush okay. If they were to board loses to Kentucky and Vanderbilt on his resume in his last three years but what he's done right like he wins the big games against the Oklahoma's the Florida states the the vandys like these are the ones that he's lost over the years so how. How long and Florida state going into that pile and well I meant Oklahoma when they were what six and six two years ago right here that's fair so they beat him in the playoff what it matter but all right how about in the afternoon this one's intriguing guys one and no Mississippi state at one and no Minnesota.

18:34The good the SEC and passing is this move the needle all for you guys he's really good yeah he really is really good fun game to why but I do caution everybody it was against Louisiana Monroe that's going to be the last place team in the sun belt I mean and the clip that you keep seeing on Twitter is one play it was what now was a beautiful play but it was one play and Minnesota playing out there it is going to be an ugly game this is going to be a Trent style ball game and if they can contain I think they have a good shot if they can force come on you to beat him with the arm. This game is a stay away from a picks or betting perspective but a fun one to watch is an interesting one to watch how for real is Taylor this could tell us a lot. And we talk about the SEC versus big 10 argument unfortunately they're going to use this one Minnesota wins sure about all big 10 we got you SEC even though the game doesn't mean Jack you know at the end of the day they will use this so hey he'll state let's go but if you can.

19:47Yeah I'm kind of Oklahoma and state wins all of a sudden you get all the benefit of the doubt from the playoff committee after that. Yeah that is very much true I want to see what Drake Lindsey looks like in a game against a potentially decent decent with Zach Rnet coming in at Mississippi State coming back home. I think they can go up there and actually pull off the victory I think it's going to be close I just want to be fun I just want to be a fun game period. Who's riding with state on to three four five five was believe it to shoot out and it's obligated he cannot it's for me it's just not really believing in Minnesota right now I don't know they can handle it. I don't know what's on about Minnesota to be honest but I just need Arkansas's future quarterback to do really well in this game which is Drake Lindsey so yeah if it turns into the sloppy game that Minnesota likes to get into it's a problem for Mississippi State.

21:05State believe it or not has to win pretty. All right how about at night on ESPN is number 18 Tennessee at 0 and 1 Georgia Tech and again this is kind of lost what could have been a little little lost her had they started want to know at Georgia Tech but losing that hard part in Colorado things like just about everybody's in on Tennessee Eric how we feeling confident good I mean I've felt this way all off season to be honest I mean this all off season like everybody like a bunch of Tennessee fans I'm like I'm Georgia and I respect bring key I think he's a good coach I understand what he's done at Georgia Tech I know the style of play that that you know he's he bill but that was not what was against Colorado I mean they were trash on the offensive line. Oh it's on was awful defensive on the front seven Colorado ran for a buck 83 on just as Haines couldn't do anything I mean I brought them in does it was pretty good but he got sack three times for a loss of 22 yards I mean everything the Georgia Tech kind of prize themselves on they did not do against Colorado now I think I think Georgia Tech is better than what it showed it was just one game but you know all off season people are like kind of given this pause I know Georgia Tech you know freshman quarterback I hear you I hear you there but I just want to go for you in a lot of time and I can't say that I'm on the stand.

22:16I'm not sure if you're going to get it. This screams in C state vibes 2024 to me where everybody would just kind of worry about the game and Tennessee went out there and just blitzed him 51 to 10 or whatever it is. I think Tennessee wins by at least two touchdowns and I don't need George Sags very good. I agree with that. Well said one of my favorite picks of the week. I like the game. It was Farman so you got to recognize that. Excuse me but man I mean he runs the football authority he throws such a pretty football. He's decisive he did I mean I know you played at home but you're still playing in front of a hundred two thousand P.F.A.N.s like that's pretty intimidating for a guy that literally just turned 18 years old over the summer. Now he was awesome. I'm in a good position. I don't care who you play that was that's

23:16pretty impressive. Yeah. Yeah he I mean he looked like a freshman quarterback that is in a really good system that allows for him to be successful. So I mean it's what he looked like and he he took advantage of it. He was he was pretty accurate. He ran well. I think they's on brain is going to be a fun quarterback this season. Georgia Tech is just awful in the trenches. I mean Colorado ran for 170 yards in them. And Colorado could not run 400 yards in a game like period last year. So obviously Colorado brought in a whole new offensive line and a whole new staff and a whole new everything to go any prime to be better but like literally Georgia Tech could not figure out how to get the ball down the field. They couldn't score the offensive touchdown. Tennessee better blow them out like period. Yeah. Last one in this segment guys late Saturday United. John neighbors intimated we

24:17get one in a Arkansas at number twenty Utah. Well teams getting week one wins. Uh John a watch Arkansas. There was some good things was you know I thought they were going to blow out nor it's North Alabama. But um defense looked better. KJ Jackson showed some improvement. What did you make? First off show of hands besides the game. Yeah. It's like, you know why I'm always pissed off because it's like, hey, you know we come in here and talk about this game. It's like, hey, this is the last game. It's Arkansas and Utah because I know when he starts talking about, oh, show of hands. You saw it's Arkansas going to win. None of y'all are going to raise your hands. And that's fine. You're doing the six years though. Yeah, six years. It's longer than six years. My man. Come on now. But no, listen, this is the game that means everything to Arkansas. They're going to have a successful season. It's a hostile environment over there in Utah. Um, it's a team that doesn't have Kyle Whitting him and actually maybe a blessing in disguise comparing seeing how Michigan actually played up there. But it comes down to simple this.

25:17You got to be able to not turn the ball over. Der, but you also have to make sure that you have KJ Jackson and you're giving him as much confidence because Arkansas. The entire off season was about OTV. Own the ball. No turnovers play clean. They didn't against North Alabama. Ryan Silverville was pissed after the game. Like rightfully so. He did not want his game ball that was given to him when he won his first game as a raise your back head coach. So that's got to get cleaned up. But Arkansas when this came absolutely they can. But it's just a matter of are they going to be able to keep their defense off the field and keep from turning the ball over. That to me is the ultimate thing. You talk about some fun quarterbacks. Devon damp here and in bird fickle is. Ficklin is there. They're fun. Scramblers, drawers. They've got some pretty nice rocket arms. I think Arkansas. Like two quarterbacks. You talk dead. They have a tendency to like they did last year. They had moments where both of them will play. But I mean Devon damp here's the main guy.

26:17But at the same time his offense of coordinator left and went to Michigan with Kyle Whittingham. So which I thought was kind of weird because he actually followed Jason Beck to Utah. And I thought that you know I guess the money that Underwood makes made it kind of like a damn peer up there but. Doesn't matter damn. Damn peer be up there next season. But. They have two pretty solid quarterbacks that can play the run game is of course they run a lot. Lesha Parker is. He's a pretty solid back. I remember looking at him at Washington State when material was there when I was kind of scouting him. He's a pretty solid back. I really want to see if KJ Jackson can go out there and bounce back from the first game. He's going to throw his jitteres off and actually put in work. I think Utah's vulnerable. But I don't know if Arkansas can pull it off yet. Sorry neighbors. Yeah I wish we were some more of a run game for Arkansas last week. It was okay. If they were to run the ball much better Braille and Russell and those guys Sudden Smith. I'd be hopping on the upset train but I think I might lean Utah.

27:19Anybody taking Arkansas. This is a freaking big 12 team and I can't even get in the freaking Believe in no I don't want it. I don't want it. I'm gonna take it. You like it I raised my hand before you ran so yeah right. Yeah. Yeah Roll the tape All right, we're gonna turn guys. We'll get to the two biggest matchups with SEC teams happening this weekend more squad show wrong your way next Hey, but first running a business shouldn't feel like you're trying to connect a bunch of systems that were never designed to work together one app for accounting another for inventory Another for sales somehow know them talk to each other.

It is big new and kick off man Michigan seem to lost a lot of support with this one with the way that week one played out

29:25But as Nick Sable would say don't buy the rat poison or don't eat the rat poison that is a dangerous territory I heard Kirk Herb Street earlier this week saying you were gonna see a much different Michigan team on Saturday against Oklahoma What say you? Yeah, I actually expect a different Michigan from the Western Michigan game I expect them to come out there and be focused and ready to play I don't think that they're gonna be that much better than they were in the Western Michigan game I actually think that they'll be they'll be good enough to make it competitive They have the talent but the biggest challenge is is what exactly are they're gonna do to make sure underwood Stays up and actually reads the field. That's his problem. He can't read the field And it would look noticeable in that Western Michigan game But the thing that helps him and unfortunate for us is Beavy likes the blitz under what plays better under the blitz because he has countless people You see all these bodies come down He just throws the ball up in the air and hope somebody goes up in catching He's got a couple of receivers in Buchanan as well as Marsh who throw up in the air

30:25They'll probably be able to find a way to come down with it But I do believe Oklahoma's secondary is a lot better this year I actually think that when we run a lot of 12 personnel will be able to run it down their throat even because that defense is still pretty young I expect this is just running down their throat most of the game I think Oklahoma's gonna win this one soundly. I don't think that it's gonna be a massive blowout like everybody It won't be LSU Clemson. I don't think it's gonna be nothing that crazy I think I'm gonna run the ball. It would oh, I would be awesome I would love it But I do think that we're just gonna run the ball a lot and it's just gonna the clock's gonna burn I think it'll be close to the South Carolina score last year of like 24 20s heaven to like six Yeah, one thing's interesting now be careful in a close game because Michigan does its best work an extra time So fair you do want to play that they're the Argentina of college football It's been said many times definitely and I do give um Kyle Whittingham credit He took an eight million dollar quarterback and turned him into a great value quarterback And so that's pretty hard to do as well. I do think Oklahoma's going to win this game pretty easily though

31:28Never be extra for the hometown kid. I think that's sort of the lesson of the Bryce Underwood saga. I gotta be honest with you Yeah, it's been disappointing there for for him so far Michigan and and Jay, I think Oklahoma with with Brent Vennibulls defense things he's really settled in and and I think this defense is just gonna Give them so many nightmares that they're just gonna have a hard time moving the ball The tears gonna have a good game. I think this game is gonna be tight for a minute But then I think Oklahoma has a chance to really kind of pull away. I think Oklahoma wins by 30 And when neighbors speak I think I think that's a totally sane and rational take Actually because now how far they pull away at bad against that against that Oklahoma defense I'm a big believer in the sooners this year. I think this absolutely could be a blowout Yeah, the thing to me Vennibulls defense and what we've seen from Bryce Underwood last year and one game this year like How are they scoring? I mean they're gonna break up long long running back runs like

32:28Underwood sucks. Joel Clark doesn't happen to see his Regressed yeah, when he say that's cool. He's not that's cool Think that's about his like job security or what winning hamsy. He's just like oh, that's cool Yeah, fun stat for everybody I know that that didn't inspire a lot of confidence. That's cool. I wonder if Tommy Carr the The grandson of Lloyd Carr brother of CJ Carr gets in the true freshman quarterback that they have I wonder if he gets on the field but I'm gonna give you all fun stat Brent Vennibulls is 51 and 13 when he sees a quarterback more than once Okay He's really good at seeing a guy a second time. That's kind of his interesting stats and Needle stat of the night. I think I'll Like the Lloyd Avant is he R.B. One at this point? I think at this point He is he's the healthiest so he's definitely R.B. One. We're expected to get Torrey Blaylock back in this game as the anticipation X Rob was returning for men. Dree so he's looking like he's getting back fresh

33:34The way he wanted and of course true freshman is Jonathan head and then Des Walker should see some acts as well I expect Oklahoma to run the ball a lot in this game And I think that's the only reason why the score won't be as high as I would like it to be I just think that you're gonna just Nostop the entire game. I think the sack total goes up for Oklahoma in this game too They're gonna get out of it man He's gonna he's gonna fumble on hill throw hill throw one up for a pick. Yeah, it's gonna I'm with neighbors. It's gonna get ugly. I don't know how I don't know how quickly. It's gonna get ugly But it will get ugly at some point. I just hope that everybody everybody ride with you Yeah, yeah, I think that a bulls is gonna simulate some pressure to speed him up and then all those people were back in coverage And you just Throw it. Yeah or speed him up so he can throw it at their knees How about the late game on ABC 630 central? It is Ohio State at Texas Did across over Brad Kellner earlier this week he couldn't join us tonight, but Kellner is calling this a must win for Texas

34:35And I think that's right because if they lose this one they basically have to go nine and one the rest of the season and it's a tough schedule But I think being in Austin we've seen this match up what three times in the last 18 months I think being at home This is one Texas finally gets against Ohio State. What's that you guys? I think I know how he would how he would smothers Is the key in this game and archmaning doesn't quite have to do as much and if that happens You're going to be alright against Ohio State You don't want to be a situation where art starts looking like an unfolded lawn chair like you did last year If they can handle and just play clean ball. I think they'll be alright Yeah, that's what I'm curious about them as well I want to see what this defense looks like with much champ like so Cory How exactly is that defense supposed to work for them in this game? We're gonna we're gonna get a lot of pressure on Julian saying that's what we're gonna do. We're gonna knock it down We're gonna we're gonna sling him around and we're gonna intercept some passes. We're gonna dance in the end zone

35:35I don't know your lies a little bit more Cory There you go. Oh, yeah, that's what I was waiting for yeah Wood must champ everybody know I'm I'm actually curious to see what their deepest looks like I guess these wide receivers How do they contain Jeremiah Smith? How they contain the other 14 wide receivers they have that don't have names yet, but they will have names by the end of the season That's what I'm curious about Bo Jackson. I mean I Guess I think he'll be a really good back there. I don't know yet, but yeah The offensive line of Ohio State A lot of people have been pointing out it's a little bit shaky this year and Texas gets the pressure Julian saying I'll be able to do nothing. I just I just don't believe in Texas in these big games for whatever reason I've got a Ohio State winning and it's not I just get real James Harden vibes from the entire Texas program right now like oh wow look at those and I mean like prime James Harden like wow He's got the MVP averages 35 a game he's 50 40 90 and yet would you want to play with him?

36:36Does he ever get you past round two not very often? Yeah, listen listen Texas is going to get smashed in this game by Ohio State like it's not even going to be close And this is the problem that I have with Texas in the program and also with the fan base and everything is because in that fan base They believe that if they are not great at college football then college football has a problem college football sick They're unhealthy if they're not good in football and so they're going to freak out and lose their minds And it's going to be this like travesty upon travesties because oh my goodness How is college football going to exist this season now that Texas loses to a Ohio State? I am so sick of the archmaning crap. I'm so sick of Texas I'm so sick of everyone trying to blow them up into being something great And they completely and totally crap their pants and big games like this and they're gonna do it again this time Well, how state's gonna beat them by at least three scores one more time horns That's like I just don't understand why anybody was thinking's make our Texas is a great team They're so back shut up. They're not going to be a great team this year that level of hate man. I'm a bored buddy

37:42Hey, I like it, but I still I still don't want Ohio State to win and I don't know that Texas is gonna like Well the world up, but then you're then you're not gonna see the kingdom of God Corey I can tell you that if this is the way you're gonna be you're rooting for Texas You're not gonna see the kingdom of God. I'm not necessarily rooting for Texas. I've just rooting against Ohio State Or so. Yeah, I respect that look. I'll say this Cam Coleman had two touchdowns in game one he had five and all of last season. I think this is a Everybody's talking about Jeremiah Smith. I think this is a game. Cam Coleman says I am the best wide receiver on this field in this game I am going off and Ryan Wingo had a great week one too, but I think that trio Wingo Coleman Arch This is their coming out party and let the nation put the nation on notice saying we are the best passing attack in the country I was with Steve on the Hollywood smothers thing like I think that's gonna be a big X factor for for Texas if they can get him going They can they can win the game, but I got a little threat back. He caught some passes ran the ball well and really ground looked okay is the backup

38:46I thought they moved the pile a little bit more, but Again, you never know it's we were taking you know work from week one I was told I was because I somebody said why was it called Simmons more a factor? They said it was very Treating with kid gloves for week one. They want him healthy all year long Expect Collins Simmons to be more a factor this week against Julian saying to an Ohio State So I'm roll with the long horns raise your hand you taking the little horns at home Me and Steven that's it the rest of you are taking Ohio State on the road and DK are at night. Okay I'll be because Ohio State could never do such a thing like beating the mighty Texas long horns in their home stadium We've got Look Arches legacy is on the line here. He's got he's got a witness one. They it's a must win For the long horns so we will see what they do Must win. I don't know about that real quick quick and closing everybody cool with LSU stand in the SEC

39:49No No, the top of his boots. I'll tell the understand why the odds of them ever leaving were zero this entire time Yeah, I just wanted them to stop saying oh we are the SEC that that's all I wanted just show some contrition That's some real Texas in the big 12 vibes there for sure I All I know is that when the governor comes down just like hey, what's good? Can we just play football guys? I mean come on. It's like I just wanted to punch him as hard as I could in the face because I'm like you are That's like the hot dog beam. We're all trying to find the guy who did this. It's like you are the problem It's unreal, man All right, we'll leave it there fellas By the way LSU gets Louisiana attack Ole Miss gets Charlotte Auburn gets Southern Miss they better they're often better look better against Southern Miss for Auburn, but We got big games coming up next week. Go ahead. See with Gordy the The Charlotte reporter that I had on my show for the crossover for this morning thing picked Ole Miss to win 67 to 14
