Why Tomorrow's Ohio State-Texas Game Could Make or Break Arch Manning

0:00I'm going to ask him that coming up at 8.20 this morning also I don't know if you saw Tevin Jenkins did not practice yesterday not a good sign so not a good sign for him but it looks like we're going to get ourselves up maybe Austin Barber coming up on Sunday over at right garden. Andrew Ray draft pick. Well, now I'm back in. You know, you got to the point that every, yeah, we have, Andrew Ray has been in charge long enough that every player on the roster is either an Andrew Barry draft pick or the guy they've gotten pre-agency or they've traded for you do you do stick around long enough than the roster is 100% yours. See, this is the difficult thing. I really, I don't know why they ever got rid of Ray Farmer. Miles Garrett. Well said. Oh, definitely duck could have drafted.

1:01We've said that several times. Bring back Soshi. He's in the NFL. He saw as a job in this league, my friends. He had to go to the NBA for a little bit to get back. Hey, man, much like Paul De Padeza had to go to the NFL for a little bit to get back to that. Get back to baseball. A little boy. Two, one, six, four, seven, four to below 92. It's, it's not fair and we won't do it in this room. I don't think we'll do it in this room unless somebody is just absolutely overwhelmed tomorrow. But I do believe that tomorrow is a waterloo for one of these quarterbacks, probably archmanning if it doesn't go his way with a lot of Ohio State fans who happen to be bronze fans on the QB tracker. Am I wrong? People will overreact and a lot of them will not be as invested the rest of the season as they are in this game. You agree with me. Yes. Because we've been down this road before and I think Keith disagreed with us our boss and I thought that he forgot. This happened after the Ohio State Penn State game. A lot of people just went, you're right off there when it came to Drew Allor.

2:03Now, who knows what type of career Drew Allor is going to have, but it happened in that game. And I think tomorrow, you know, you got Buckeye fans and their bronze fans and it's, you got 10 guys that I think can be under consideration right now. We're going to a week into the season. Dairy immense of played yesterday, played Florida A&M. I don't know what to glean from that. I think that there's probably a lead 11 quarterbacks. I might be able with Miami's weapons to play well against Florida A&M. So I don't know what to take from it. But if he would have had three picks and would have been terrible, maybe we would have a conversation about dairy immense. So I'm not going to use it as a knock that he only had to throw 15 passes in a 70, as literally a 70 point win over an FCS team. But I think we look at some of these guys and tomorrow is going to be a lot of, just me a lot of pomp and circumstance. There's a lot of people who because, you know, Archmaning has been put on a pedestal by us in the media because of his last name. He comes from the royal family of football and they want to see him fail.

3:08And I think if they see him fail tomorrow, there's going to be confirmation in there that we can't take. And he shouldn't be in the conversation. That conversation will carry over unless they like go on to the playoff and win the national championship or something makes it deep run. That that that game coming up tomorrow night, especially because everybody is either going to be at a watch party at a bar. There's so many things going on to watch at Ohio State game against Texas. It's going to be one of the premier college football games of the regular season outside of the rivalries and the playoffs. People are going to hang on to that game, both good and bad into the draft. Now what's it do for Julian saying? Oh, Julian saying goes out there and plays really, really well. It's because I haven't seen, I've seen like I've seen a lot of people line up behind Dottay Morgoth, Dottay Morgoth is incredible. And he was good against Boise State. I thought he was great. I thought he did some things that I didn't even see him do last year that he's grown a lot during the off season. I think Boise, obviously everybody thinks of Boise State's quality program.

4:10So when you have a quality opponent like that, even though you're playing at home, I think there's a lot of things you could take from that when it came to him. I've heard so much more for Dottay Morgoth and for even Trinidad Chambers over this time that I've heard over Julian saying it just seems to be it's weird that I would think that it would be fish in a barrel and it has before uncertain guys. But I just think that there are so many bronze fans that they just, it takes them a minute to really buy in with an Ohio State quarterback. Well, especially because of Justin Fields, maybe that's because, you know, especially because he's not a runner. Yeah. That's a big part of it too. Like Trinidad doesn't have the size, but he can take off and run and he's an explosive athlete. So that's a huge difference in his conversation and it's why, you know, anytime you bring up Julian Stain, he's also thrown to Jeremiah Smith. So it's like, come on, he has the best receivers in college football every year. By the way, Archie, Arch has incredible receivers too at Texas. And I think unfortunately you're going to find that out on Saturday night, just have

5:11good those receivers. This is what sucks about an IELs that you're in my Smith. He's good. Seems like a good young man. I has no reason to make a business decision and sit out at season or, yeah, you know, on the knee, just ain't feeling that great. I might have. Well, you got to give that money back though. No, but I mean, there's a way you could play it. You could play it up there. Guys who have definitely gotten the money and also kind of load manage. Yeah. Taking advantage of the boosters. True. True. Cause I kind of just want to see a couple of games of Julian Stain without Jeremiah Smith. Right. Right. To see without him on the field. Cause it would like, I don't want Jeremiah Smith to get hurt. There's nothing we can do. Well, maybe this is a game because Texas has blanketed. They play twice. Jeremiah's just gone up against him twice and he's been neutralized. Now has that opened things up for other guys? Mm hmm. Certainly. And I think you're going to see us steady diet of that bracketed coverage again to make life really hard on Jeremiah Smith. So it'd be fun to see a how Ryan Day utilizes him or prime days like, fine, we got other guys too.

6:12So you know, we're not just trying to win the Heisman, which Jeremiah Smith this week. We have other things we're trying to accomplish. Yeah. I mean, when it was Cardell Jones, Kenny Geithon even, like there were people who were like, we got to take these guys. So we're bronze fans. We got to bring these guys in and it was that way, but I do think that like Justin Fields and and CJ Stroud have kind of changed that conversation with bronze fans. Like CJ Stroud struggled last year. I still have faith in him. Well, you and I both really like Justin Fields. It just, it isn't going to materialize as an NFL quarterback with him. And I think that that's kind of rubbed a lot of bronze fans like, hey, I want them to do well in college, but I'm not really sure I want them to play for my favorite pro football team. And I think they're still at arms length, which Julian saying, at least a lot of the people seem to interact with our show are. And I think he could do a lot tomorrow if that if we find out that Jeremiah Smith is just getting double coverage and Julian saying, it's just putting dot after dot after dot on other guys that not a lot of the general public know about because they're not named Jeremiah Smith. I think go a lot for the conversation about these QBs with him. I can't wait. Honestly, just hearing you talk about this game, like I know that you still have these

7:16other huge matchups in Ohio State. It's not like they're going to be eliminated from the playoffs. They lose this game. But just this quarterback, the microscope that they are under like it is going to be kind of fun to see how these guys operate. And it's going to be this huge crowd. You know, it's going to be the focus of the entire day other than the first series for Akron against Robert Morris. By the way, the guy that's calling the play is going to be out in game day. He's going to be out of game day. When we finally say who's doing this game on the game. Okay. Are you going to have him in the booth? Yes. Yes. I say we keep him for the entire second half. Sorry. Ryan Kavanaugh is fully capable of calling the whole the whole game. But I'd like to have this offensive mind. You're doing the game with Ryan. Yeah. Can we find a way to apply this man with drinks and then put him on it half time? You get the real thoughts of what he thinks about the football program. Can we do that? Come on. Let's have some fun in that booth. Not you guys. Not you and Ryan. Will there be plenty after? Will there be a trick play on his series? Kind of feels like there has to be right at 330. All right. Yeah.

8:16Will there be a trick play? Will more head allow it? I'm not going to be home to see it. I want to see it bad. Well, I have the replay. So I can watch it later on. Plus I get to see you. I always watch you on the replays. Pete Futeck, one of the guests that I'm actually jealous that they have on other shows. I really like this guy. Here's what he said about pressure on Arch or Julian saying tomorrow. By 100,000 times it's Archman because it's a home game. They're on two in the big Giants games against Ryan Day and Ohio State. They've only played five times and all five of them were hugely meaningful. Whether it was the bench young performance and the win over Ohio State. A great, a great bowl game in there in the mid. How a state of Troy Smith set the cone for a season with a win and go to the longhorn. He's been awesome. Of course, the semi-final game in last year. You know, it's just played so high on set of Ohio State. It's in the College Football Playoff and Miami isn't. This is as bad as massive as it gets, but you look at the schedule ahead for Texas.

9:16If they don't win at home against Ohio State, this is another nine and three year that they're probably not going to make the College Football Playoff. If Ohio State loses, okay, fine. Texas is on the road. They'll have to go to Indiana. Still some nightmare games ahead. There's a much tougher schedule than last year, but they're probably not losing two more games. And for Arch, again, this is your, you're at home. You're supposed to win this game and that's the show up and play well. No, I could try to do a history lesson and all that stuff and go, well, you know, about his uncle and you can't spell citrus without UT and failing in big games, but it seems that Uncle Peyton did a hell of a job when it came to the NFL. That sounds like garbage. Just because he's his uncle doesn't mean he's going to have the same, Jeffrey Jordan didn't end up like Michael Jordan when it came to the actual court. So I see what Arch Manning has been said about him over these last couple of years. I know that there's a lot of people who feel he's overrated. I want him to work out and he could do a lot for himself, at least with this fan base,

10:17because you remember when Baker may feel Beto, Ohio State and plan of the flight, there were a lot of people who were upset. They acted upset. And then when it came down to drafting a quarterback, that was one of the reasons people wanted to draft him. Yeah, I loved it. Right. Absolutely. Good player showed a lot of guts. Moxie quote unquote, a lot of confidence there. Made up for the size questions. Yes, beating a quality program in general, beating multiple quality programs, general goes a long way, but beating a really big program that has an insane fan base that happened also root for the Browns on Sunday can go even further. And Julian saying can help out his case because yeah, they're probably going to bracket Jeremiah Smith as best they can. And if he's able to throw it all over the place, I think we have a much more serious conversation about Julian saying, coming up next week, coming up at 820, Darryl Ryder is going to join us on the show, coming up in five minutes, only five minutes away. We go to a bout last night where the, I don't know how much the Rams cared about yesterday, but I loved what happened because it stops other teams from making a really stupid decision.

11:20That's stupid decision.
