John Nabors from Lockdown Razorbacks, Cory Burton, Locked On Vandy, Jason Smith, Lockdown Sooner, Eric Kane, Lockdown Falls, and John Miller, Locked On Mezzoo. Welcome Injents. 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 Nabors, 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, Gordon. It's like, yeah, this is a new thing.

3:05This game is one that basically is like the make or break for Argonne. So if you're going to have a successful season, they got to take care of business in this one, but it is tough. I just love the fact that this game is probably going to end on Sunday morning because it's that 915 kickoff central time. That's going to be a lot of fun to talk about and have fun with, but either way, I think Argonne's also 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 Ryan Silverfield. Cory Burton, how about Vandy? Well, Jared Curtis is going to win the starting quarterback job. He is going out first this game and set a blaze burlow it. 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 Sloppiest football game in a 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.

4:06He's still out for the Tigers. No word on him as of yet. But I think Jamal Roberts, because of that, sets 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. It has no doubt. We're going to be getting to that one in just a few minutes. Can you 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 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'm going to expect it that, but that's okay. I guess no. I do believe that Oklahoma wins this game when the regulation actually expires.

5:10I don't believe that extra time will be able to be allowed in this one to make it seem like, but no, on a serious note. I actually think they hold Michigan under tempo. I don't think they allow Michigan to score a actual offensive touchdown in this game. Yeah, the one second, you know, kind of took the college football. World by storm. 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 Michigan and Owen one at this point. 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 we think that should be official. Wow. Blow me over with a feather on that one. I thought that's how I 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

6:13about. They know super secret clock. It's great. 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, well, wait, what? You just, you just did your mic. I'm just going to do. I'm just going to do. I'm just going to go ahead and stuff here and not touch my microphone. As I said, I alluded to it. 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 to Texas Ohio State, Oklahoma, Michigan. We're 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.

7:14And John Miller, this 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. That's a good news, but give me your thoughts on this one. Yeah, no, I didn't. Why didn't the zoo play on Saturday? I'm just wondering. 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 all remember that a few months ago, but Greg Sanky made this day when 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 our matchups in Thursdays and Fridays, so which by the way, it's hilarious. Oklahoma's playing on Big New and kickoff, which is part of their reason for leaving to begin with. That's kind of hilarious. 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 Mizzou again, we got the primetime game.

8:15We 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 the reason we lose the big 12 was to get out those 11 o'clock kickoffs. All right, let's go back. But Zoucans is John. Go ahead. Yeah, so, you know, there is the Iron in College football never ending, but on Mizzou, Kansas, you know, obviously getting Caden Green back a huge deal from Missouri. 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 in 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.

9:16Yeah, I like what we saw from Zoucans in week one. I get it. It was what? Arkansas Pine Blot forever. Austin Simmons looked great. And Donovan Alubadeh, yes, the Conor 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, should have a big game. But anybody think Kansas puts up a fight in this one? No. No. No. No, that's no feel it. No. That's true. For whatever reason, I'm just with John. I'm very much team, Mizzou, when the Missouri Kansas game comes at. No matter what, no matter what the records, I'm going to be with Mizzou. And drink is peruse my heart. 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 would be going, oh my god, they faded it. I mean, who wouldn't possibly get that that quartet there?

10:19Three. How about Saturday morning on ABC? It is 1-0 Arizona State at top 10 Texas A&M. Now a quick primer here. Arizona State's quarterback is Carter 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 where they're kind of sleepwalking 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 pull away. I mean, it's just I think the talent gap will eventually skew in favor of Texas A&M. Didn't last year they lose to Mississippi State. Yes. They did. Yeah. Yeah, I'm. Arizona State did not Texas A&M. Yeah. Kyle Field. It seems more like Arizona State is one of those teams that's getting talent plucked

11:22from 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. No. Yeah, they gave up zero points in week one. So Aggie defense is still pretty darn good. But I will say I'll come out this week and kind of defend Marcel Reed a little bit saying, oh, my fans are down on them. And all the I'm like, that's pretty bold for week one. You're already having to go out and defend your quarterback. So I'm also read 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 it their evidence does not change that opinion. So I mean, he could be pretty good, but those same people that say sucks is going to say he sucks. All right. One more turn, guys. We'll get into some of the other bigger games happening. We've got some drinking matchups this week, cupcake weeks over. We've got to mention the decent games when we return the SEC squad show talking more

14:29Our gents we get back into it and look at some of the games this weekend, given our thoughts on them. How about Saturday afternoon? It is number 12 Alabama at 1 and O Kentucky. Any upset potential here for you guys of Will Stein versus Kaelin DeBore. 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 State the next week. I know, I know, I know Florida State stinks. Alabama lost to 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 in accidental look over type situation. Kentucky wasn't terrible week one. They were actually not terrible. And can he mention like a solid quarterback. So I think this game just like Eric mentioned, this is going to be a funner game if people realize.

15:30I 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. I do like, I think Bama is going to be pretty good for me to get on the Bama train here. They've got to find some way to run the ball better. I think there's still a lot of lingering questions with their ability to run the ball. 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 a weird atmosphere. It's like one of those atmospheres where it's like, yeah, you know, it can be it's draining

16:35on you. And I mean teams go up there and win, but like it's it's usually ugly is kind of my point there, except for maybe Tennessee for a lot of years. But. So I have the 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 a shaky 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 mincey looks like, of course, and Will Steins hold offense, but that 10 and a half points on the road. Something tells me I should give it. Offensive line was much improved for Kentucky that they're trying to build back that big blue wall allows to live in from Alabama. Lance heard it was at Tennessee. You know, they got big guys on that on that line now and then see you back to the former

17:36five star running back that was at Texas looked pretty good. And a few notes here guys from the injury report Wednesday night. Alabama right guard Michael Carroll listed as doubtful and then AK deer, the they're what number three running back. He's listed as questionable, not expected to go. And then for Kentucky, they're right tackled 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 OE running back is good to go. So it's almost like Will Steins 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 and make sure wherever 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's still too worried about Mark Mitchell not being eligible. So they can go get bet. Yes, well said neighbors. We agree for once. I love it. Spoken like a true Arkansas basketball fan. They're neighbors, but it is the sport we care about.

18:36How about by the way, raise your hand. Are you taking Alabama to win this industry show of hands? Okay. So all y'all I'll stick with. I just want to have fun. I want to be a good game. I think a big game. I'm a spew there. I think Kentucky's going to cover, but Alabama wins. Yeah, I agree with that. My all season prediction. I say Kentucky wins. So, uh, God, they will they will they'll give us a little sign of contract extension. Uh, if he wins this one, that would be a worthy field rush. I'll get it. If Kale and Debora loses to Kentucky and Vanderbilt on his resume in his first three years, but this is what he's done, right? Like he wins the big games. It's the games against the Oklahoma's, the Florida states, the the Van D's like these are the ones that he's lost over the years. So how Oklahoma and Florida state going into that pile? And well, I meant Oklahoma when they were what six and six two years ago, right? Yeah, that's fair. So they've been in the playoffs. What it matter? But, uh, all right. How about in the afternoon? This one's intriguing guys. 1-0 Mississippi state at 1-0 Minnesota.

19:39Oh, Taylor. The goose. The SEC and passing. Is this move the needle all for you guys? He's really good. Oh, that is really fun. Yeah. He really is. He's really good. It's a really good fun game to watch. But I do caution everybody. It was against Louisiana Monroe. That's going to be the last place team in the Sunbelt. I mean, and the clip that you keep seeing on Twitter is one play. It was now was a beautiful play, but it was one play. And Minnesota playing out there 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 Camario to beat them with their own. This game is a stay away from a picks or batting 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 talked about the SEC versus big 10 argument. Unfortunately, they're going to use this one if Minnesota wins.

20:42Sure. Oh, 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 have any 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 defense with Zach Arnet coming in at Mississippi State, coming back home. He's four head coach, being a DC and being a head coach, being fired from being a head coach, and then coming back more or something, anything. Arnet coming there underneath Levy still kind of reminds me of him being in the leaf leech. So there's a chance that they could actually surprise a lot of teams this season. I think they can go up there and actually pull off the victory. I think it's going to be close. I just want it to be fun. I just want it to be a fun game, period. I want to show him who's riding with state. On to three, four, five. Five was believe it. I'm too. I think it's obligated.

21:42He cannot. It's for me. It's just not really believing in Minnesota right now. I don't know if they can row the boat enough against Mississippi State and I don't know. I think I'm handled by Taylor, but I don't know what's fun 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. State believe it or not has to win pretty. All right. How about a night on ESPN is number 18 Tennessee at O and one Georgia Tech. And again, this is kind of lost. Could have been a little luster had they started want to know at Georgia Tech, but losing that hard part going to 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 have been like, oh, Georgia. And now I respect Brinkie. I think he's a good coach.

22:43I understand what he's done at Georgia Tech. I know the style of play that, you know, he's he billed, but that was not what was against Colorado. I mean, they were trash on the offensive line. The offensive line was awful defensive line, the front seven Colorado ran for a buck 83 on him. And just as Haines couldn't do anything. I mean, I bought them and does it was pretty good, but he got sacked three times for a loss to 22 yards. I mean, everything that Georgia Tech kind of prides 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 giving this pause. Like, oh, I don't know, Georgia Tech, you know, freshman quarterback, I hear you there, but this screams NC State vibes, 2024 to me where everybody was just kind of worried about the game in Tennessee went out there and just blitzed them 51 to 10 or whatever it is. I think Tennessee wins by at least two touchdowns. And I don't think Georgia Tech is very good. I agree with that. One of my favorite picks of the week. I like the balls minus what 12 and a half in Atlanta. Give them to me. No.

23:44Do you guys like what you saw from FaZe on Brandon week one? I thought he was pretty strong. Yeah, it was me too. 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. I mean, I know you played at home, but you're still playing in front of a hundred two thousand P if fans like that's pretty intimidating for a guy that literally just turned 18 years old, but over the summer. Now, he was awesome. I'm intrigued to see how they utilize him. I think they're going to run him a lot down at Georgia Tech this weekend. But now he was five total touchdowns. I don't care who you play. That was that's pretty impressive. Yeah. For his first meeting, he's been or is it Bobby Dodd? Bobby Dodd. Is it Bobby Dodd? Yeah. Yeah. I don't 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 Veson Brandon is going to be a fun quarterback this season. This is going to be a great test for him. He could use this, but the good thing for Tennessee is Georgia Tech is just awful in the trenches.

24:47I mean, Colorado ran for a hundred seventy yards and a couple of them. And Colorado could not run for a hundred 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 below the mound like period. Real quick show hands. We're all rolling with the balls. Yeah. Yeah. I think we lost one in this segment. Guys late Saturday night as John neighbors intimated. We get one in our Arkansas at number 20 Utah. Both teams getting weak one wins. John, I watched our gets. There was some good things was, you know, I thought they were going to blow out. It's North Alabama, but defense looked better. KJ Jackson showed some improvement. What did you make? First off, show of hands besides Gordy. How many people watch this game? Exactly. Exactly. Yeah.

25:48It's like now you know why I'm always pissed off because it's like, hey, Joe, 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're Arkansas. 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. They have to win this game. I mean, it's pure and simple. It's not going to be easy. It's a hostile environment over there in Utah. It's a team that doesn't have Kyle Wittingham. And actually, maybe a blessing in disguise comparing seeing how Michigan actually played up there, but it comes down to simple this. You got to be able to not turn the ball over. DUR. 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 OTB, 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.

26:50And 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 Dan Pierre and Emburdered Ficklin is, they're fun. Scrambleers, throwers, they both got some pretty nice rocket arms. I think Arkansas, like two quarterbacks of Utah. Dad, they have a tendency to, like, they did last year. They had moments where both of them will play. But I mean, Devon Dan Pierre is the main guy. But at the same time, his offense of coordinator left and went to Michigan with Kyle Wittingham. 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 hard for them to bring a Dan Pierre up there, but that matter Dan Pierre be up there next season. But they have two pretty solid quarterbacks that can play. Run game is, of course, they run a lot. I think that's a great regulation on Parker is, he's a pretty solid back. I remember looking at him and watched in the state when material was there when I was

27:52kind 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 to get those jitters off and actually put in work. I think Utah is vulnerable. But I don't know if Arkansas can pull it off yet. Sorry, neighbors. Yeah. I wish we saw more of a run game for Arkansas last week. It was OK. If they were to run the ball much better, Braille and Russell and those guys are certain Smith. I'd be hopping on the upset train, but I think I might lean Utah. Anybody taking Arkansas? No. No, I don't even get it as you see bias. This is a freaking big 12 team and I can't even get in the freaking as he's going to show Joe and get people to believe in. I'll do it. No, I don't want it. I don't want it. You're going to take it. You like it. I raised my hand before you ran. So yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah. I just want to say, what do I do? Roll the tape. Roll the tape. All right.

28:53When we return, guys, we'll get to the two biggest matchups with SEC teams happening this weekend. More squad show wrong your way next.

Gets two big games in the SEC, the noncon happening this weekend. Yes, it is big 10 versus SEC kind of a thing with some of these other games. But Jay, we are starting with Oklahoma at Michigan 11 am central on Fox. It is big new kickoff. Man, Michigan's even lost a lot of support with this one with the way that we won played out. But as Nick said, but 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 going to 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 going to be that much better than they were in the Western

30:56Michigan 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 going to do to make sure underwood stays up and actually reads the field. That's his problem. He can't read the field. It would look noticeable in that Western Michigan game. But the thing that helps him and unfortunate for us is be the likes to blitz, underwood plays better under the blitz because he has countless people. He see all these bodies coming up and he just throws the ball up in the air and hopes somebody goes up and catching. He's got a couple of receivers in Buchanan as well as Marsho. He's open to air. They'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, we'll be able to run it down in our throat even because their defense is still pretty young. I just just run it down in our throat most of the game. I think Oklahoma's going to win this one. Soundly, I don't think that it's going to be a massive blowout like everybody. It won't be LSU Clemson. I don't think it's going to be nothing that crazy. I think it's going to run the ball.

31:56It would be awesome. I would love it. But I do think that we're just going to run the ball a lot and it's just going to the clock's going to burn. I think it'll be close to the South Carolina score last year of like 24 or 27 until like six. Yeah. It's interesting. Now be careful in a close game because Michigan does its best work and extra time. Thanks. So fair. You do want to avoid that. They're the Argentina of college football. It's insane. Yes. Definitely. And I do give Kyle Wittingham 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. Never be extra for the hometown kid. I think that's sort of the lesson of the Bryce Underwood saga. I got to be honest with you. Yeah. It's been disappointing there for him so far at Michigan. And Jay, I think Oklahoma with with Brent Vennibulls defense things, he's really settled in and I think this defense is just going to give them so many nightmares that they're just going to have a hard time moving the ball.

32:57The tier is going to have a good game. I think this game is going to 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 they were speaking, I think that's a totally sane and rational take actually because now how far they pull away at that 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 going to break up long, long running back runs like underwood sucks. Did you guys happen to see his sound like? He has regressed. Yeah. When he say, that's cool. He's cool. I think the asked about his like job security or what? Witting ham. So he's just like, oh, that's cool. Yeah. Fun stat for everybody. Fun stat. That didn't inspire a lot of confidence. That's cool. Zero confidence. I wonder if Tommy Carr, the, the, the, the, the, the grandson of Lloyd Carr, the brother of CJ Carr gets in there.

33:59The true freshman quarterback that they have. I wonder if he gets on the field. But I'm going to give you all fun stat. The current Vennables is 51 and 13 when he sees a quarterback more than once. Oh, okay. He's really good at seeing a guy a second time. That's kind of his interesting stat and team. That of the day. Needle, that of the night. I think I will. I'll be on the iceman list after this, too. Yeah, I like the Lloyd Avant. Is he RB one at this point? I think at this point, he is. He's the healthiest. So he's definitely RB one. We're expected to get Tory 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 and the way he wanted. And of course, true freshman is Jonathan had and then there's Walker. Should see some actions. 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 going to just. Nostop the entire game. I think the sack total goes up for Oklahoma in this game, too. They're going to get after it, man.

35:01He's going to he's going to fumble one. He'll throw he'll throw one up for a pick. Yeah, it's going to I'm with neighbors. It's going to get ugly. I don't know how I don't know how quickly it's going to get ugly, but it'll get ugly at some point. I just show everybody. They're right right with you. Yeah, yeah. I think that a bulls is going to simulate some pressure to speed him up. And then all those people were back in coverage. And he's just going to throw a seat or speed him up so he could throw it at their needs. 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. And 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 Hollywood's mother is the key in this game.

36:04And archmaning doesn't quite have to do as much. And if that happens, you're going to be all right 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 it and just play clean ball, I think they'll be all right. Yeah, that's what I'm curious about them as well. I want to see what this deepest looks like with much champ. Like so, Corey, how exactly is that defense supposed to work for them in this game? Well, we're going to get a lot of pressure on Julian saying that's what we're going to do. We're going to knock it down. We're going to sling him around and we're going to intercept some passes. We're going to dance in the end zone. Open your eyes a little bit more, Corey. There you go. There we go. That's what I was waiting for. Yeah. Well, it must champ everybody. No, I'm actually curious to see what their deepness looks like against these Y receivers. How do they contain Jeremiah Smith or how they contain the other 14 Y 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.

37:07I don't know yet, but yeah, the offensive line of Ohio State, a lot of people have been pointing out as a little bit shaky this year. Texas gets the pressure. Julian Sainting will be able to do nothing. I just don't believe in Texas in these big games for whatever reason. I've got 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? Does he ever get your class round to not very often? Yeah, listen, listen. Texas is going to get smashed in this game. 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.

38:08And 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 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 going to do it again this time. Well, Ohio State's going to beat him by at least three scores one more time horns. That's like, I just don't understand why anybody was thinking to make 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 on board, buddy. Hate tech. I like it, but I still I still don't want Ohio State to win. And I don't know that Texas is going to like blow the world up. But then you're then you're not going to see the Kingdom of God, Corey. I can tell you that. If this is the way you're going to be, you're rooting for Texas. You're not going to see the Kingdom of God. I'm not necessarily rooting for Texas. I'm just rooting against Ohio State. Or so. Yeah, I respect that. Look, I'll say this.

39:09Camp Coleman had two touchdowns in game one. He had five in all of last season. And I think this is everybody's talking about Jeremiah Smith. I think this is a game. Camp 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 letting 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 going to be a big X factor 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 as the backup. I thought they moved the pile a little bit more. But again, you never know. We're 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 treated 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 Sand and Ohio State.

40:13So I'm roll with the long horns. Raise your hand. You're taking the 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. Yeah, because Ohio State could never do such a thing like beating the mighty Texas long horns in their home stadium. We've talked about it. Tough environment on the road. Yeah. It's fair. Look, Arches legacy is on the line here. He's got, he's got to win this one. It's a must win for the long horns. So we will see what they do. I'll put my soy and I don't know about that. Real quick, quick and closing. Everybody cool with LSU, staying in the SEC? No. No, the top of his boots. I'll tell the understand why. The odds of them ever leaving were zero this entire time. I just wanted them to stop saying, oh, we are the SEC. That's all I wanted. Just show some contrition. That's some real Texas in the big 12 vibes there for sure.

41:14For the long horn network. So, you know, I, all I know is that when the governor comes out, he's like, hey, 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, it's like the hot dog beam. We're all trying to find the guy who did this. Say, 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, Steven. Gordy, the Charlotte reporter that I had on my show for the crossover for this morning thing, picked Ole Miss to win 67 to 14. That was his home review. So I'm like, good gosh, man. Rest Kiwan Lacey get him ready for the big game next week. Anybody that has a hang nail, they're sitting out. Yeah. All right, fellas. Good stuff to our listeners and watchers.
