Speaker 4 (00:36):
My man?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
What do you think I'm watching? College football is going
I know right, it's crazy. So for people who are
just joining us, listen. A lot of tweets have been
sent out here over the last couple hours. Uh, Alabama
is hosting Georgia. Okay, big game obviously, as you may
have heard, top five matchup Georgia Alabama. Kaylin de boor whatever.

(01:04):
This one's interesting. It's it's gotten interesting. Okay, So I
was not even aware that Georgia is in the red zone.
So Alabama, big game for the boar.

Speaker 5 (01:13):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
They jump out to how about this, J mart They
jump out to a twenty one nothing lead after the
first quarter, twenty eight to nothing lead with twelve minutes
left in the second quarter, a thirty to seven lead
at halftime. After that, everybody, including me, including everybody, including
whoever just you know, writing the epitaph for Georgia. They're done.

(01:36):
They're not as good as we thought. Alabama's not going
anywhere well. Georgia has now scored fourteen of the last
seventeen points in this game. They've outscored Alabama fourteen to
three in the second half. It's thirty three twenty one
and they are on the goal line trying to put
the ball in the end zone. Five point fifty three

(01:57):
left in this game, j Mart and your point, not
quite dead yet.

Speaker 4 (02:02):
Yeah, And it's kind of crazy. It's it's if you've
watched the second half, it's not like the foot's been
taken off the gas by Alabama. They're still certainly aggressive,
but it does feel like they're just not playing with
the same edge, Like there's there was a tenacity and
almost a violence and a passion to what they were

(02:25):
doing in the first half of the game, and the
second half just hadn't been Anger is a good way
to put it. Like it just I don't know what changed,
but it just doesn't have the same feel. And so Georgia,
like two players in a row. Beck hit these deep shots.
That's how they gotten in the red zone. Since you
missed that second one, I think probably a receiver pushed
off to get him here on the goal line, but

(02:46):
wasn't called. The officiating. This game has been bad on
both sides, but at least it's been consistently terrible. But yeah,
I mean, there's plenty of time, They've got all their
time outs left, like this should have been a wrap.
This is the worst game I've ever seen, Carson. It's
worse I've seen a Georgia quarterback play and I can't
even tell you how long. Just absolutely abysmal. And you're

(03:08):
looking as there is a touchdown right now for Georgia.
You're looking at a one possession game with plenty of time,
they got all their time outs left, and the momentum
is all Georgia. This has gotten real interesting, real fast.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
It has gotten really interesting. As you just said, there
was a short run again. Alabama at one point in
the second half was up thirty Well take that back.
They were up thirty to seven at the half. It
is now thirty three to twenty seven extra point pending
after a short run by the Georgia Bulldogs. So Georgia's

(03:43):
making their move, J Martin, and I'm with you, is
you know, you know obviously look I was driving into studio,
so I missed some of the second half prepping for
the show. But Alabama was in complete control. And you know, I,
just like you said, doesn't feel like there's that urgency.
They were up twenty eight to nough thing. As I said,
Jalen Milroe was running all over the yard, and really

(04:05):
the second half, it just it just feels like, I
don't know what else to say other than I just
think a lack of urgency. I don't know what else
to put it. I mean, it's not like they're putting
the ball on the ground.

Speaker 4 (04:15):
You know.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
George's the one with three turnovers. Carson Beck, as you said,
has not been playing well. But all of a sudden,
we got an extra point here. It's about to be
thirty three, twenty eight, five minutes left. As you said,
Georgia has all its timeouts, they probably don't even need
to use them if they can get a couple stops,
and just like that, Georgia is right back in this game.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
Jmartin. Yeah, man, it's a five point game. It's thirty
three twenty eight with five thirty nine left. This thing
could have been, you know, forty two, forty five to
seven the way it was trending towards the end of
the half and Beck handing the ball back to Alabama.
But then they had a game saving play right near
the goal line that kept it a little bit tighter

(04:56):
than it ended up being a safety to make it
thirty to seven at the half. But I think it's
just kind of there were still thirty minutes left to
play and Alabama just whatever that intensity was that they
had in the first half where they were, they looked
like they were just gonna blow Georgia's doors off all
night long. It just hasn't been there in the second half.
And you're looking at this right now. This is the

(05:18):
thing like when you get a team like Georgia and
look the same thing with Alabama, but when you're playing
against a team like Georgia, you can't continue to kind
of let them hang around and you can't ever take
the foot off the throat or I don't know that
that's what they did, but something shifted in just the
and it wasn't just momentum, it was attitude. And you

(05:39):
look at the Georgia sideline right now, they look like
they think they're gonna win this game.

Speaker 3 (05:44):
They sure do.

Speaker 2 (05:45):
And by the way, it looks like the Paul pseudo
fair catch. I couldn't see if it was muffed or not,
but the ensuing kickoff, Alabama fielded it, caught it within
the five, so they're gonna have They're gonna be deep.
Look like there was a little confusion onto who was
gonna catch it. It was muffed by the freshman Ryan
Williams recovered inside the five. So you just talk about Listen,

(06:09):
you know, it's weird because it's one of those games
where like we were saying, I know, I'm just sort
of repeating myself here, but it I don't think like
Alabama has done anything wrong in the second half. But
as you said, it's just all the momentums going to Georgia.
Georgia could do nothing right in the first half, and
now you look at him, Alabama deep in their own territory,

(06:31):
trying to get out and we got You know, it's
there's still five minutes left that both teams have all
their time out. So Alabama's just trying to give themselves
a little breathing room, trying to maintain any level of
a drive because they really have not moved the ball
here in the second half, J Mart. And Georgia, as
you said, has all the momentum. Everybody including me, counted

(06:53):
this Georgia team out in the first half. And what's
crazy is j Mart, like you said, I don't even
get the sense that like Georgia has flipped some incredible
switch in this game of any sort. They have fifty
eight rushing yards. Carson Beck, as you said, has thrown
two interceptions. He hasn't looked good.

Speaker 3 (07:13):
This is a weird one.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
I mean, there's no other way to put it. I mean,
just think about that, Jamart. Alabama, or let's Georgia is
trailing right now thirty three to twenty eight with about
five point twenty left in this game. They have three turnovers,
they're losing the turnover battle three to one. They've rushed
for fifty eight yards of total offense, they gave up
a safety by the way to end the first half,

(07:34):
and they're trailing by five.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
J Mart.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
That's just that doesn't sound like it should be right
if that makes sense.

Speaker 4 (07:40):
No, it doesn't. It's tough. Like we're in real time
and you know how important this game is for both sides,
and it's hard to kind of see it like Milroe
made a big time play to keep the thing alive
and get a big first down here a couple of
plays ago. But you just look at it, and again,

(08:01):
I haven't seen anything change in how George has been playing.
I don't think they've gotten summarily better. It just, for
some reason, the storyline of the game, the way that
it was trending, it just kind of gradually started to
feel less dominant on one side. But I don't think
it's because Georgia started playing better. It's kind of hard
to explain. It's very hard to explain. It's a weird

(08:24):
game to have watched this second half.

Speaker 2 (08:26):
Yeah, and that's what I'm trying to have. That's what
I'm trying to wrap my head around. Is I know
I'm repeating myself a little bit by the way Georgia
just stops Alabama on third down.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
I'm sorry, J Martin, I'm a little bit ahead of you.

Speaker 4 (08:39):
I think, Yeah, I'm seeing the third down right now.
We're for some reason, you guys are like fifteen seconds
ahead of me all the.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
Time, which is weird because we're actually two hours behind you.
So we could see into the future even though we
live in the future. I don't know we live in
the past. I guess you live in the future for
us a part we could see into the future. But
there is a stop by Georgia. Alabama is going to
have to punt the ball back. And I think what
you said, J Mart is the important part.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
The emotion.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
You can see frustration Jalen Milrow kind of wincing. Georgia
has all the momentum and Alabama they are now under
three minutes. Alabama up thirty three to twenty eight. They
are punting the ball back to Georgia. And as we
said to lead this show, Georgia was trailing twenty eight
to nothing. At one point in this game. It was

(09:29):
it was thirty thirty to seven at the half. It
is now thirty three to twenty eight. Georgia will have
the ball with about three minutes left in this game.
All three timeouts plus remember we now have the two
minute timeout, don't call it the two minute warning in
college football. So Georgia basically has four timeouts to work
with if need be, so I don't know what else

(09:51):
there is to add. J mart we're kind of talking
in circles here is as Georgia, you know, has the
ball with a chance to take the lead to forty
two left.

Speaker 3 (09:59):
It is un believable that they're in this game.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
Yeah, I mean Bama had what three hundred and fifty
yards of offense basically in the first half, and until
like that one throw Mill Road just made, they didn't
have one hundred yards in the second half. And it's
not again, it's not George's defense being dominant. There's something
conservative or something that has happened. But I mean, right now,

(10:22):
this is George's game to go win.

Speaker 2 (10:23):
Right now, Well, they are about to potentially win it
because we have a deep touchdown pass from Carson Beck
to number eighty eight. I believe Dylan Belle eighty six,
I apologize a sixty seven yard touchdown pass Bryant Deddy.
Stadium is in absolute shock. Okay, they just showed the

(10:46):
entire fan We have fans crying in the stands. I'm
not kidding J Martin, You'll see it in a second.
But Georgia, again, I want to emphasize here. They trailed
in this game twenty eight to nothing at one point
thirty to nine going into the half.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
They have just taken the.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Lead thirty four to thirty three a sixty seven yard
pass from Carson Beck to Dylan Bell. They are now
going for two to try to make it a three
point lead. J Mart, this is you know you talk,
especially given the teams and the stakes. This is as
shocking as frankly, anything that I've seen in a long time,

(11:24):
anything that I can really remember.

Speaker 4 (11:25):
So here's what's weird. I sent you, I sent you
and you and the crew with texts early in this game,
Like I think even before the first touchdown, or right
the first touchdown, said, Georgia seems just off enough tonight
that they could get beaten handily. And I was right
until about ten minutes ago, and of course now doesn't
look that way. But this is this is unreal, Like,

(11:47):
this is a crazy, crazy story that we'll be talked
about from a number of different angles, trying to dissect
exactly what. I wonder what our buddy Ryan Fowler is
thinking right about now.

Speaker 3 (11:58):
He's probably not doing very well well.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
I imagine he's struggling a little bit right now. I
mean I'm not a fan too, but that's the same
time gosh.

Speaker 2 (12:05):
I was texted with him earlier in the day and
there was a lot of confidence. If you will again,
Georgia has taken the lead. They did not get the
two point conversion, so they have a thirty four to
thirty three lead to thirty left. Now, Alabama also has
all three timeouts plus the h plus the two minute
timeout as well, so if they go the length of

(12:25):
the field, they'll be good to go. But Carson Beck,
by the way, after all that has now gone over
four hundred yards passing three touchdowns two interceptions as Georgia
has taken the lead.

Speaker 3 (12:36):
Tell you what, j Mart, this game is Banana's.

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Alabama has just gotten the ball back with two minutes
and thirty one seconds left. This is what we're gonna do.
We're gonna come back. React to the end of this game.
Alabama was up twenty eight to nothing at one point,
thirty to nine at the thirty to seven. Excuse me
at the half. Georgia has taken a thirty four to
thirty three lead with two minutes and thirty one seconds left. Well,

(13:00):
come back. React to the end. Of this insane game.

I'll tell you this, thirteen seconds has never gone by

(14:05):
so fast since Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes were playing
in the AFC playoffs a few weeks ago, or a
few years ago. Yeah, I know, I just butchered that.
It was a good call till I butchered it. But oh,
we last left you. Georgia, which had trailed at one
point thirty to seven, had taken a thirty four to
thirty three lead with two thirty one left in the game.

(14:27):
Alabama proceeds to go on a one play, seventy five
yard thirteen second drive as Jalen Milroe finds Ryan Williams,
a seventeen year old freshman, for a seventy five yard
touchdown pass. Alabama converts the two point conversion. They are

(14:47):
up forty one to thirty four. Georgia now has the ball,
trailing forty one to thirty four.

Speaker 3 (14:54):
Under two minutes left in the game.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
They have I believe, just no, they didn't use their
first time because the clock stops for a first down,
so they are not quite at midfield. Georgia trailing forty
one to thirty four. They had just taken a lead,
and again, j mart Georgia was actually trailing in this
game at one point twenty eight to nothing.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
You had two consecutive touchdowns. On the first play, they
had a sixty seven yard touchdown. Then you had a
seventy five yard touchdown. Here's one thing I will say.
People are now, they're already doing it. I'm sure calling
this like an instant classic and all this kind of stuff.
This has not been a great football game. It's been
an all time great fourth quarter. And a lot of

(15:39):
times the game is determined, the movie is determined by
how it ends. And again, I mean, this game was
an eighteen point game entering the fourth quarter. If they
want to run the fourth quarter on you know wherever
that you have the video available to on a loop
for the next year. I think everybody will watch it
several times. But this was not a football game until

(16:03):
about twenty minutes ago in real time probably or somewhere
in that neighborhood, like, it's crazy, Well.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
We came on here, it's eight twenty four. It's eleven
twenty four Eastern. We came on at eight o'clock Eastern.
Alabama was up thirty three to twenty. Like, what is that, Jason,
We've been on air for twenty four minutes. We've had
three different touchdowns. Score that's insane.

Speaker 4 (16:26):
I mean, it's thirty three to fifteen at the end
of the third quarter, and now You're looking at a
forty one thirty four game and a big time third
down here.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
And we do have an incompletion third and two, and
incompletion the pass is broken up. Georgia fourth and two.
They're gonna have a tough decision to make. They're gonna
go for it here on fourth and two. They do
still have two timeouts left, so or is it three?
I can't even tell. My eyes are going bad. They
must have three time outs left. So both teams have

(17:01):
three timeouts left. Georgia going for it on fourth and two. Again,
they are trailing by a touchdown. There's a minute twenty
two left, and the key here, Jason, we can't emphasize
it enough. Georgia was trailing twenty eight to nothing at
one point, they were trailing thirty to seven at the half,
briefly took the lead thirty four to thirty three, and

(17:22):
they have converted the fourth down. So Georgia was trailing.
Georgia was at fourth and two. Basically if they did
not convert, the game basically would have been over. They
do convert the first down forty one to thirty four.
Alabama still leads, but Georgia is now in Alabama territory.

Speaker 6 (17:40):
J Martin.

Speaker 4 (17:41):
Now you're starting to wonder do you go for two
or do you play overtime? Woo. I'm gonna go ahead
and throw it out there right now. I mean, if
you score, you're on the road against Alabama.

Speaker 2 (17:52):
You gotta go for it. I would go for it,
and I'll tell you what think too. Yeah, you have
all the momentum again. I'm just gonna set this up
one more time, Georgia. The score right now in this game,
Alabama leads Georgia forty one to thirty four, a Top
five matchup. There is one fifteen left on the clock. Okay, Georgia.
When we came on air at eleven Eastern twenty six

(18:14):
minutes ago, Georgia trailed thirty three to twenty. They score
two quick touchdowns take the lead thirty four to thirty three.
Alabama then proceeds to go on a one play, seventy
five yard drive to take the forty one to thirty
four lead. Georgia has gotten the ball back. They just
converted a fourth down with under a two minutes to go.

(18:37):
If they had not converted that fourth down, the game
would have not quite been over, but it would have
been uphill sledding. They have the ball inside the fifty.
There is a player down, jaymart I'm with you. We
still got some plays to make. But I think if
Georgia were to score here, I think you gotta go
for two. You're on the road, you have all of
the momentum. I would go for two if I was Georgia.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Yeah, I mean I don't. Again, I don't think any
Georgia fan could be upset if you go for two
and you don't get it, like I just I think
you played for the win. And if you're Georgia, as
you said, the momentums with you. Even after the seventy
five yard touchdown that sort of quelled it a little bit.
If you score here, the momentum is going to be
right there with you, and the pressure is going to
be all on their defense. I think.

Speaker 2 (19:19):
By the way, speaking of you know, fans can't be
mad while we wait. There's there's a minute left. Georgia
is taking its first time out. How about our buddy
Mark Soops today, J Martin, let's talk about that one
for half a second. Because Kentucky pulls off the big
upset of the day again, we will get back to
Georgia Alabama. There's one minute left in that game, but

(19:39):
very quickly, Kentucky. Two weeks ago in this time slot,
you and I both crushed Mark Stoops for not for
choosing to punt whatever it was, fourth and eight, whatever
it was, I can't remember all the time matter.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
You were basically at midfield, yes, against Georgia, like there
was no reason to do that. Then today he decides
to go on fourth down, like on his own twenty
yes when he actually had time out, So I was like,
what are you doing? And then he actually then the
play actually got made by Vandergribble on the throw, and
I was like, oh my goodness, because I was ready
to kill him the other way.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
Dude, I was time. I was the exact same way.
I was like, that guy read way too many message
boards two weeks ago. He's doing it to prove everybody wrong.
But Kentucky does get the upset win. We'll get you
updated on that. But this, this Alabama Georgia game is
just a thriller. It is everything that is great about
college football. As we are under a minute to go,

(20:36):
fifty two seconds left, as a matter of fact, Georgia
trailing forty one to thirty four under a minute to goo,
Georgia still has two timeouts and incomplete pass the first
play of this possession or excuse me, first play here
under a minute and so jaymar I'll tell you this, man.
You know, you and I talk about this all the time,

(20:57):
but we're lucky to do what we do. It doesn't
feel like work. Tonight is the least work feeling day
that I've added a long time, because we have a
thriller under a minute to go Top ten matchup Alabama
Georgia in Tuscaloosa.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
Jamain, Yeah, look, this is something about this Tom slot.
I mean, we had everything planned out. Hey, guys, we
had a show planned and we're still gonna do some
of that show, but some of it's not gonna some
of it's gonna be left on the cutting room floor
because of the drama at Brian Denny Stadium.

Speaker 2 (21:27):
Right now, it is we have under a minute to goo.
There was a penalty on Alabama. So Alabama forty one
to thirty four. I'll tell you what, why don't we
you know, there's a couple plays left in this game.
Let's toss it over to the news desk. De saga,
there's no perfect time to do this. If something happens, cut,

(21:50):
you know, do what you gotta do. I apologize, there's
no perfect time to do this.

Speaker 6 (21:54):
My man. Clock is stopped. Forty nine seconds to go.
Georgia is down by seven points at Alabama and driving
the ball is down to the Alabama twenty yard line.
Somehow this is still a game. This has just thrown
an interception in the end zone, Carson. Oh my goodness.
That makes four turnovers for the Georgia quarterback to go

(22:14):
with his three touchdown passes and int in the end zone.
Alabama celebrating on the field with forty three seconds to go.
In this top five matchup at Bama, it's the tide,
leading forty one thirty four. Alabama scored touchdowns on its
first four drives Tonight, led twenty eight to nothing in
the second quarter, led thirty to seven at halftime, and

(22:37):
still led thirty three to fifteen with about ten minutes
to go. And then Georgia scored three unanswered touchdowns, but
Bama quickly answered to regain the lead with just over
two minutes left. On the seventy five yard touchdown pass
from Jalen Milroe to the freshman Ryan Williams, who has
six catches for one hundred and seventy seven yards. The

(22:59):
Bama quarterback row twenty seven of thirty three, three hundred
seventy four yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and he has
two touchdown runs. Milrow on sixteen carries one hundred and
seventeen yards rushing a lot of that in the first half.
Elsewhere on alf AS one right now at number twenty
five Boise State, it's the Broncos head of Washington State

(23:20):
late first half seventeen to ten. We've talked about the
guy that could be a first round pick at running
back in the NFL. Ashton genty at Boise State thirteen
carries one hundred nine yards rushing in the first half
and two touchdowns. Arizona has scored to take a ten
to three lead at number ten Utah late in the
first half utes do not have Cam Rising, their usual

(23:41):
starting quarterback again due to injury, and on Fox TV
late first quarter, eighth ranked Oregon a heavy favorite tonight,
only leading seven to three at UCLA. By the way,
Florida State is in action tonight and trailing forty two
to sixteen at SMU with under two minutes to go.
This would put the Seminoles record at one and four

(24:03):
this season.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
Why don't you say that's smhsu.

Speaker 6 (24:09):
We are all smah. Yeah, that has just gone final.
Forty two to sixteen SMU, and we have two minutes
to go at Texas Tech home teams leading Cincinnati forty
four forty one. Boston College with two touchdowns in the
fourth quarter, beat Western Kentucky twenty one to twenty. Louisiana
got its first ever win against an ACC opponent, winning

(24:30):
forty one thirty eight at Wake Forest. Wake is one
in three all home games, and Duke was down twenty
seventeen to nothing, I should say at half twenty to
nothing in the third against rival North Carolina, but Duke
wins the game twenty one to twenty. Kentucky did win
at number six Old Miss twenty to seventeen on a

(24:51):
touchdown with about two and a half minutes to go.
Victory's in the top ten for Texas, Ohio State and
ninth rank Penn State, which won tonight over Illinois on
one to seven. That was Tide seven seven in the
third quarter, and it's just gone final. At Alabama, the
Tide still undefeated after beating number two Georgia forty one
thirty four to Major League Baseball. The regular season ends

(25:14):
tomorrow for most teams. Now, the Braves do have that
double doubleheader to make up against the Mets on Monday.
This night could not have turned out better for the
Atlanta Braves.

Speaker 4 (25:24):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (25:24):
They won their fifth game in a row and it
came on a solo homer in the bottom of the
ninth from Travis Darno to beat Kansas City two to one.
The Mets got shut out six nothing at Milwaukee and
Arizona got shut out five nothing by the Padres, who
hit three homers top of the nights to get the
five runs. Then, so the Braves, with a win or
an Arizona loss tomorrow would clinch a wild card berth

(25:46):
before Monday. Back to you, Thank you.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Very much, Steve de Seger. This is Fox Sports Radio,
Fox Sports Saturday Air Tours Jason Martin. We are broadcasting
live from thesireraq dot Com studios. As this Sager just
told you, we do have a final. Carson Beck his
third interception of the game. Alabama survives forty one to

(26:11):
thirty four.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
J mart Dynasty. Guess it's not dead yet.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
I guess we don't have to all the dirt that
was piled up by those other fifteen SEC programs next
to the grave of Alabama football. Looks like they might
have to wait a little while longer because unbelievable win
and the Crimson Tide are now four and zero.

Speaker 3 (26:33):
And they beat the Georgia Bulldogs once again.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
That's right, and this is why Alabama went and grabbed
klen to Bore because they saw what he did it.

Speaker 2 (26:44):
Washington, credit to him for wanting that job.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
Yeah, that's not the easiest thing to step in. Actually,
just about the hardest thing you could possibly imagine stepping into.

Speaker 2 (26:55):
Yep, keep going, j Martin, I didn't mean to cut
you off, but no, that's it, man.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
But it's like the next high had to be great.
It just did. You couldn't afford for it not to.
And you do still have Jay when Milroe and Milroe's
just as scintilating talent and you still recruited, well, you
got better in the trenches. We knew there was a
dearth of skill talent for them a year ago and
actually really over the last two years, and now you're

(27:20):
starting to see that kind of turn. They're not going
to play Texas in the regular season. What you look
forward to now is the third Saturday in October, a
game that's still happening at Tennessee Alabama Tennessee on October
the nineteenth. That's going to be you know, that's going
to be the next one to kind of look at
in the SEC I think, but I mean, this is

(27:43):
this is what. The fact that Alabama still won it,
honestly is more impressive to me than if they had
won the thing like thirty three to twenty one, because
when Georgia took the lead back, it really there was
nothing going right. And then Milroe found he found the
seventeen year old who had a couple of crazy plays
in this game and also muffed a kick return. But

(28:06):
it's just been it's kind of crazy. I'm nearly speechless
because this game had no business having this last ten minutes,
but this is it. They still end up with the win,
and Carson Beck still, even though he ends up with
really good numbers in terms of how many yards, a
lot of it came on chunk plays late, he just
didn't play very well. And this was a moment where

(28:29):
you know, they were saying he might be the second
quarterback off the board and all this kind of stuff. Well,
everybody was watching this game, and there was definitely some
holes and some flaws there. Even though the last ten
to eleven minutes this game is about as good as
this is why we love sports is stuff.

Speaker 2 (28:43):
Like this zero doubt and you know, and that's you know,
first of all, a couple of things is won. The
debor stuff again, credit to him for wanting the challenge,
Credit to Alabama, the credit to Nick Saban for leaving
the coupboard full. But credit to those guys for stepping
up and for holding on right cause.

Speaker 3 (28:59):
We come on. It's thirty three to twenty.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Alabama Georgia from that point on scores thirteen on answer points.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
They go for two.

Speaker 2 (29:07):
They don't get it, but Alabama makes the two big
plays late Jalen Milroe with the seventy five yard touchdown
pass the interception to seal the game. Your point on
Carson Beck, by the way, it's funny, you know I
did the I know you're not on social media much Jmart,
but I did the Carson Beck tweet in the first half.

(29:27):
Old takes exposed tried to old takes expose me when
he three you know whenever it was and I ended
up being right three interceptions in this game. You know,
if he is a guy that people deemed to be
a first round pick, you know he needs to be better.
Because listen, he did a good job in the second
half getting them back in that game. But three to

(29:49):
fifteen on third down for Georgia eighty yards total rushing.
I think the thing, and I think it's gonna be
a conversation for us over the next two and a
half hours. Like the fact that Georgia was in that
game is still and I know we led the show
with it. It's kind of shocking, j Mart Is it not?

Speaker 4 (30:06):
Oh, it is? I mean, they they easily could have
lost the game by thirty the way it was trending,
and the fact that they had the lead in the
final two minutes of this game is stunning, quite frankly,
And if you watched it from start to finish, there
was nothing to indicate this was going to happen at all.
Nothing Georgia was doing. It's not like again, they didn't

(30:30):
start just playing better. It's just in the last ten
minutes everything in the world just started to trend their way,
and they still end up coming up on the short
end of the stick. But yeah, this we had this
scheduled end to talk about Bama destroying them to open
the show, and then we were going to move on
to other topics pretty quickly thereafter because there wasn't gonna

(30:50):
be much to say other than man, Bama looked really good.
But now we're sitting here, you know, forty minutes into
the show, and we just got the finish, and I'm
kind of I've scatterbrained because I can't believe that this
game ended up going this way.

Speaker 2 (31:05):
Well, I'll tell you what, Jmart, Why don't you take
a quick minute, catch your breath, have a cold sip
of water. We'll come back. We'll continue the conversation. Georgia
falls to Alabama, final score forty one to thirty four
in a game where again Alabama was up twenty eight
to nothing. Georgia trail thirty three to twenty when we

(31:28):
came on air, took a thirty four to thirty three lead.
Alabama ends up winning because of a Jalen Milroe deep
touchdown pass in an interception sealed the game. We'll come
back more reaction to this game. That's all next. Fox
Sports Radio Welcome back everybody. Fox Sports radio er Torris
Jason Martin. We are broadcasting live from the tire rack

(31:50):
dot Com studios. If you are just joining us a
thriller in Tuscolosa, And it sure was a thriller. I
keep saying it if you're just joining us, though, if
you're driving in the car. Bama was up thirty to
seven at the half. Georgia as j mart and I

(32:12):
came on air at eleven PM Eastern Time, trailed thirty
three to twenty. They end up scoring two quick touchdowns
to take a thirty four to thirty three lead. Alabama
a one play, seventy five yard drive to take a
forty one to thirty four lead, and then, in what

(32:33):
ended up being the final play of consequence of the game,
a Carson Beck pass was intercepted in the end zone
by Zabian Brown. Alabama wins forty one to thirty four.

Speaker 3 (32:46):
J Martin, what do you got?

Speaker 2 (32:48):
Yeah, I gave you. I gave you like four minutes
you said I I need.

Speaker 4 (32:51):
A deep probably like four weeks.

Speaker 3 (32:53):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (32:54):
Twenty fifty for Carson Beck so barely fifty percent completion,
did have the three touchdowns much of this coming late
and the crazy stuff that started happening. But he also
had three interceptions. Two of them were horrible, I mean
really really bad. That third one, I mean, you want
to put that over the guy so that the only
guy that can make the play is yours. But I

(33:15):
will say that the corner made a tremendous play, kind
of changed direction in mid air. But at the same time,
the fact Georgia had an opportunity to win the game
shows how difficult it is to beat a good football team,
even on a night when they don't have their best stuff.
You have to wonder. I couldn't specifically tell you what

(33:39):
they were, but clearly Kirby Smart made adjustments at halftime,
and I'm not sure that the boer counted him particularly
well there for a while. But this is a game
that Bamas should have won going away based on the
first half of it and all the momentum even coming
back out into the third quarter, and it just didn't
end up trending that way. Get a great story, and

(34:00):
there's gonna be a lot of things to talk about
coming out of this. A lot of people will want
to see a rematch. We'll see whether or not we
get one. Both these two teams certainly and probably will
be in the College Football Playoff. But we could also
come back and look at this game down the road
and wonder what this meant for Georgia because let's not
forget something. George is coming off a bye, right, so

(34:23):
they had a couple of weeks to prepare for this game.
The last time we saw him play, Kentucky should have
beaten them. Yep, so you had Kentucky had him on
the ropes. We credit Mark Stoops for making sure Georgia
remained undefeated that night. And then you come back here
and you lose to Alabama. So this Georgia team just
it's not the same. They're they're the dominance factor, the

(34:46):
intimidation factor. I don't I just don't see it in
this group. It's not the same. It doesn't mean there's
not a ton of talent on that field, but this
is not the team that annihilated Clemson in Week one,
because it does look like Clinton, it's trending although they're
not playing anybody particularly good. I just this Georgia team
is not doesn't have the teeth that Georgia teams in

(35:09):
the past half decade or so have.

Speaker 3 (35:12):
By the way, Uh, do you know what I want
to do?

Speaker 2 (35:14):
I just do want to quickly open up the phone
lines if you want to call in talk about this
game one eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox one
eight seven seven nine nine six six three sixty nine.

Speaker 3 (35:25):
What's your biggest takeaway?

Speaker 2 (35:26):
Is it that Alabama not missing a beat Georgia maybe
not the team that they once were, not what we
expected from the preseason number one team, maybe J Mart.
When we come back at the top of the hour,
we start talking about, Okay, who is actually the best
team in the SEC? Because you know, you said, you know,
we'd love a rematch in the SEC championship game. Tennessee
looks the part. Texas when they're healthy, looks the part.

(35:49):
And it's like, I'll say this, J Mart, And I
know this maybe is the biggest takeaway from this particular game.
But I was somebody that was a little anti twelve
team college football Playoff. I just thought, Hey, most years
there's two maybe three teams that are good enough to
win it. But I look at at this year and
I do think this has been trending the last year
or two with the portal with nil with talent being

(36:11):
spread out. You know, you look at that top four
in the SEC with the four teams that I just mentioned.
Just because Georgia lost today doesn't mean they're a terrible
team that can't come back and do really good things.
Alabama's there, Texas is there, Tennessee's there. All miss lost today,
Maybe they come back, we'll see. But the point I'm
trying to make is, you know, the idea that a

(36:31):
year ago, three of those four teams would probably have
missed the College Football Playoff. Again, I know it's probably
not the biggest thing in this moment, but it's like,
I'll admit, I got to take an l. I wasn't
an advocate of the twelve team playoff, but I think
it came at the right time for this sport.

Speaker 4 (36:49):
Yes, And I mean that's why when we did our
twelve and we picked our champion and everything, I picked
Proof of Concept to win the title, because I do
think there was there were more than just a couple
of teams that could win this thing. And I think
this is going to be fascinating, and I think twelve teams.
While I don't think there will be twelve that can

(37:09):
win it, I do think that you might be looking
at a half dozen teams that if all breaks right
for them, they could potentially win. And that's all you
really want. And I do think Georgia, Bama, Texas, Ohio State, Yeah, exactly,
like in Tennessee or or in any number of other
teams you want to include in there. I just like

(37:30):
that there are more games with direct stakes on the championship.
And I think that when we get a chance to
watch this product and get to watch these games, I
believe we're all gonna love this and I can't wait
to get there. But it's already been chaotic, certainly, and
there's still so many big games left in this regular
season before we even get there.

Speaker 2 (37:50):
Well, and I would say this too, and I was
guilty of the regular season won't mean as much blah
blah blah blah blah, this and that. But I mean,
you look at a game like Old Miss Kentucky, you know,
like maybe it does mean nothing, But the reality is
Ole Miss still has to play Georgia at home. Uh,
they still have LSU on the road, a school that
they have historically struggled with.

Speaker 3 (38:10):
And if they.

Speaker 2 (38:11):
Finished nine and three and they don't make the playoff
because they're the thirteenth or fourteenth seed. It will be
because of what happened today. And so by the way,
you know again Michigan whatever, I'm just trying to think
of examples. Off the top of my head. Is like
I was one, Oh, it's gonna devalue the regular season.
I don't think that it has. I'll tell you what, Jmart,

(38:31):
do want to come back? Uh, And we're gonna take
some calls if you want to chime in one eight seven,
seven ninety nine on Fox one eight seven seven nine
nine six six three six ' nine. Keeping you updated
on a couple late scores. How about this a little
bit of a surprise in Salt Lake City, Arizona up
ten to three on the tenth ranked Utah Utes. There's

(38:52):
eleven seconds left in the first half, and Oregon is
up ten to three early in the second course order
at the Rose Bowl. So there's a lot going on,
a lot to discuss a ton of college football here
on a busy Saturday night. This is well, we got

(39:13):
a minute left, okay, sorry, but say a quicker. Okay, Well,
I apologize, I apologize there, j Mark. But yeah, we
do have a couple of late scores. But uh, but yeah,
So anyway, a lot going on in college football today.
I apologize about that. I misunderstood what was going on
in the background.

Speaker 4 (39:29):
Well, it's because everything had just happened to this football game.

Speaker 5 (39:32):
I know.

Speaker 4 (39:33):
It's taking this completely out of our game.

Speaker 2 (39:35):
The Bor's got me shook, man, Bama's got me shook.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
Well, I mean they had Georgia shook for three quarters
and then it got nuts. And but it's still the
bar on the field having the postgame interview because Alabama
somehow managed to still win it.

Speaker 3 (39:51):
All right, we're gonna come back.

Speaker 2 (39:52):
We're gonna take some of your calls, and we're going
to discuss Alabama beating Georgia. It's a thriller. This is
Fox Sports.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
Are you don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2 (40:03):
Welcome man, everybody, our two Torres and Martin. We are
broadcasting live from the tyreck dot Com studios. Tierraq dot
com will help you get there an unmatched election, fast
free shipping, free road hazard protection, and over ten thousand

(40:26):
Lots still going on in the world of college football.
No Di Sega just got you caught up. On everything
that is still going on. Three ranked teams still in action.
Oregon up seventeen to three at the Rose Bowl against
UCLA Arizona, a surprise ten to three lead at the
half against Utah. Twenty fifth ranked Boise up seventeen to

(40:46):
ten in Boise against Washington State. The story, though, jmart
came from Tuscaloose, Alabama. For everybody just joining us. Alabama
wins a thriller forty one to thirty four. I didn't
even know how to handle this game and hour one
it just went final. About fifteen minutes ago. Alabama had
a thirty to seven halftime lead. They were up twenty

(41:09):
eight to nothing at one point. A furious rally from Georgia,
they briefly took the lead thirty four to thirty three.
In overtime, a Jalen Milrow one play seventy five yard
touchdown pass to freshman Ryan Williams gave Alabama a forty
one to thirty four lead, and then an interception late

(41:33):
by Zabian Brown sealed the victory. Jay Martin, the game
has been over about twenty minutes. I still I don't
know what the takeaway is other than incredible game.

Speaker 6 (41:45):
You know, weird game.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
It was a weird.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
Game because I still don't feel like Georgia played at
any point like phenomenal A plus plus football. They finished
with eighty yards rushing three three yards per carry on
the ground, Carson Beck with three interceptions, four turnovers overall
for the Dogs, and they were still in that game

(42:08):
late driving with a chance to tie, potentially win it
if they went for two. None of it happens, Alabama
ends up winning. But I still don't feel like I
know how to fully react to this one.

Speaker 4 (42:20):
Jmar me either. It's baffling. I mean, it felt like
the team that should have won it did ultimately win
it because mill Row deserved to win the game the
way that he played, especially if you look at the
quarterback comparison, it really was pretty one sided. You can
look at the stats and be impressed with four hundred

(42:41):
plus yards for Carson Beck, but he played one of
the worst games Georgia quarterbacks played in a long time,
and it fittingly does end on an interception in the
end zone that he throws his third of the game.
But it shouldn't have been a game. There shouldn't have
been any real storyline in the fourth quarter We should
have had to scrap our entire first hour plan to

(43:03):
pretty much react in real time to what was happening
in front of us. Somehow, Georgia ends up with the
lead in this football game with about two minutes left,
and then Milroe makes one more play and the seventeen
year old grabs it out of the sky and takes
it out, takes it to the house and that ends
up being enough because of the interception. It is crazy.

(43:24):
You know, I did see this or I heard this
stat during the commercial break, during the last break before
the top of the hour. With as dominant as Georgia
has been in this stretch, right forty eight in a row,
I think twenty eight, twenty eight on the road in
a row, and like all these things end, all these

(43:45):
streaks end tonight. Kirby Smart's one and six against Alabam.

Speaker 3 (43:48):
That's crazy, right, one.

Speaker 4 (43:50):
In six, that's it like it is. It's insane considering
how dominant george has been this last three four year stretch,
like Bama has still pretty much had their number outside
of that one huge win that Georgia did have in
the title game. But man, that's gotta be that's got

(44:11):
to be sticking in Kirby smarts crawl like you get
rid of Nick Saban and in this game, honestly, you
could have gotten embarrassed. And now we end up talking
about this unbelievable ending to this game, which shouldn't have happened.
But that that has to be getting frustrating for him.

Speaker 2 (44:27):
I'm trying to do the mental math in my head
really quickly. So Georgia, let me give me a second here,
thirteen one, what are they?

Speaker 1 (44:33):
Three?

Speaker 2 (44:34):
And they're two and one this year, three and one
this year, they're forty.

Speaker 4 (44:37):
Eight and three in their last fifty one games.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
I can tell you that forty eight and three in
their last fifty one games they since the start of
the twenty twenty one season. That was the year they
won their first of back to back national championships. To say,
chopping at the big go ahead, buddy, the floor is yours.

Speaker 6 (44:54):
Their last fifty two games total, George's one and three
against Alabama, forty eight to zero against everyone else.

Speaker 3 (45:01):
That is just the world.

Speaker 4 (45:04):
Is that?

Speaker 2 (45:05):
So? Last fifty one games? Huh, fifty one games they're
forty one and three. That is insane. Well, one in
three I should say against against Georgia against Alabama, by
the way, and I know it's obvious, but different head coaches,
different eras you're favored, you're an underdog, I mean disager.
I don't know if you have the stat off the top

(45:26):
of your head, but this was the first time in
years that Alabama was a road a home underdog. I mean,
so you just start thinking about all the variables where
again you lose to them. As I know that first
year with Bryce Young, I believe that Georgia was a
favorite in that SEC championship game, which they lost.

Speaker 6 (45:44):
Then last year against LSU was the.

Speaker 3 (45:47):
Last time that Alabama was a home underdog.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
Apparently it had been ninety straight home games favored.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
That is ninety That is such a crazy stat. That
is such a crazy stat. So in Georgia's last fifty
one games dating back to the start of the twenty
twenty one season, they are forty eight and three, one
in three against Alabama, forty seven and oh against everybody else.

(46:14):
Tell you what the phone lines are humming if you
want to get in on this game one eight seven
seven ninety nine on Fox one eight seven seven nine
nine six six three six ' nine.

Speaker 3 (46:23):
Let's go to the phones.

Speaker 2 (46:26):
Trey Trey is on with airtors At Jason Martin, Trey,
what is your biggest takeaway from a thriller in Tuscaloosa?

Speaker 5 (46:36):
A lot of the turnovers from Carson Beck, thank you.
You know how it is man, you win the turnover Bama.
Most times these do win the game. But hey, man,
I talk to that rookie Ryan Williams. He had hell
of the game once again. But you know, a lot
of big takeaway from the game. But I mean, obviously Kalindbor.

(46:58):
You know he's starting to get that team that's still
on track obviously from the six hits it tesser from
Nick Saban, but you know, once again, the Bulldogs they
got a little more retuning to do. Us they want
to beat Alabama with killin the boor coaching that team
for quite a bit.

Speaker 2 (47:15):
So Trey, let me ask you, are you in the
same boat as me and j mart where it never
really felt like Georgia should be in the game. But
they were in the game, they had a chance. It
just it was just such a weird game because you
have a thirty four to thirty three lead with whatever
it was, under three minutes to go, Like at Alabama.
You think that you've played lights out and it just

(47:37):
wasn't that, And so I think the word to use
was retooling, and that's I I just can't get over it.

Speaker 3 (47:42):
It's just insane to me.

Speaker 2 (47:43):
Do you agree that it never felt like there was
a time where Georgia was really in control of that game.

Speaker 5 (47:51):
It shouldn't even been a game. But you know, Alabama,
it took the foot off the gap. I think thinking
that they had a lot of had a big lead,
it was really convincing and that Georgia wasn't going to
battle back and that could have haunted him, I think
at the end of his game. But they pulled through
and came out with the win. But like I said, man,

(48:12):
you know, Georgia, they got they got some retooling to do.
As far as Kirby Smart, he got some things that
he needs to figure out during the season. Definitely running
the ball a lot better that would have helped.

Speaker 2 (48:26):
I agree, Trey, Trey, thank you so much for the call.
Thank you for tuning in to air towards Jason Martin.

Speaker 4 (48:30):
Here anyway, his comment about Ryan Williams, Yeah, I thought
it was an interesting story they were telling on the broadcast.
You know that Williams started with the third team, and
that Milrow actually went to the you know once the
court haders and went to the board and he's like,
he might be our best player. We might need to
get him with once. Like watching him with the threes,
he's watching a seventeen year old. He's like, now, let's

(48:52):
get him some reps with me. That's and then of
course he makes two of the biggest plays in this game.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
I did not know that. And it's crazy because he's
been making plays all season long. I mean the you know,
the Western Kentucky game that we were on air for
and you know, it was that weird game, or excuse me,
the South Florida game where it was you know, I
think they were what was it like fourteen thirteen In
the fourth quarter, he was the one that kind of
made the play that broke the game open. Yeah, I

(49:17):
was six twenty one to sixteen. Alabama was leading against
Western Kentucky with six minutes to go. He had a
forty three yard touchdown catch to give them a twenty
eight sixteen lead that kind of broke open that game.
And then in the Wisconsin game a few weeks ago,
he had a couple of big plays as well, so
just unbelievable. He is the youngest player in college football, reclassified,

(49:40):
committed to Nick Sabe and then he decommitted. Uh, you know,
should still be in high school. But he had the
game winning touchdown catch today. Tell you what we uh?
The phone lines are packed, Let's get to another call.
Let's go next to UH. If we still have Bill
and Jacksonville, you're on with Aaron Torris, Jason Martin. Bill,
we had a thriller and Tuscaloosa Alabama wins.

Speaker 3 (50:02):
What are your thoughts?

Speaker 8 (50:04):
I thought the play calling from Georgia was absolutely horrible.
How many times are going to throw a jump pass
down a left hand side of the field and Alabama's
not going to eventually figure it out? Prost some crossing
passes started the right side, the exact same touchdown that
they had earlier, the same pass. They caught the ball,
but the defensive not in Alabama, figures it out. Oh wow,

(50:25):
the ball is coming to me, Bill, And it was
just a stupid call and they were throwing haymakers at
each other and Georgia had a chance of winning that game.

Speaker 3 (50:35):
Thank you for the call. Bill, last name Belichick on
that one.

Speaker 2 (50:38):
I think Jmart that was some good exces in all series,
is Bill, and we're not being sarcastic.

Speaker 3 (50:43):
I think he spot on.

Speaker 2 (50:44):
I don't know really now Listen, they fell down early,
but it didn't ever feel like Georgia had a great
game plan or really a semblance on offense. And maybe
to Bill's point, and again no sarcasm, like I think
maybe they're yes football, their best offense was when they
just didn't have time to really have a game plan
and they kind of just had to keep throwing it

(51:06):
up because they were trailing so much. But you know,
I was joking about that with Bill, But like I
think there's something to it is if you watch that game,
it did not feel like a situation where there was like,
you know, a real semblance of what they were trying
to do in that game.

Speaker 4 (51:21):
Yeah, I mean I think that. I think that's true.
I think that when they got in like the two
minute drill style offense late when all the pressure was on,
but they really at the same time could just kind
of play free because they couldn't even think through everything
that they were doing. Because they didn't have that luxury
of time, they were better off, so that would stand
the reason that that game plan that they ended the

(51:41):
game with didn't work. It was funny because Beck through
a pass ended up being incomplete, should have been caught.
It was on as receiver and it was it was
like the first throw and it was down the right
sideline and he made the play. And that's when I
sent that tweet. It sent that text to you guys
and said, hey, man, George is off just enough that
they could lose pretty handily in this game. I said,
beckas sharp, nobody else's and it was because of that

(52:03):
one play. And then like five minutes later I apologized
and said, nope, Beck's not sharp either, but like the
best throw he made all night arguably was the one
that was dropped early in the game. Like Georgia was
doing everything wrong, They had a bad penalty that kept
a drive alive. They were again just not crisp on offense,
not crisp on defense. They could not stop Alabama from

(52:24):
getting to the edge running the football in the first half.
That's something did change in the second half. And I
don't know how much of that was adjustments from Georgia
or for some reason Bama going away from that because
they were having success with Milrod doing it, they were
having success with the running backs doing it, like they
were crushing Georgia doing that, and something shifted in the
second half.

Speaker 2 (52:44):
So I don't know that it's as important as it
has been in previous years, but I'm just curious. We're
now pretty much everybody has played a third of their
season at this point, which is crazy. You know, twelve
regular season games. Everybody's through at least four. Couple teams
have played five games. Who do you think is the
best team in the SEC, and let me lay it out.

(53:05):
I would argue Bama probably the best win over Georgia. Georgia,
by the way, was a play away from beating Bama
in Tuscaloosa. Texas a dominant win over Michigan. Now Michigan's
had highs and low since then. Texas obviously sputtering is
not the right word, but they haven't looked great without
Quinn Eewers. Tennessee absolutely dominant, but I don't know that

(53:28):
they've played any of the upper level teams in the SEC.
We even saw today Oklahoma survived by the skin of
their teeth against Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama, Texas anybody else who
do you feel like there is a definitive best team
in the SEC right now?

Speaker 4 (53:43):
I mean, I still think I would probably go with Texas,
but you're right, this was the best win even the
way that it ended. Still being able to win the
game I think is important in that moment. I mean,
Tennessee has looked very, very good. I'm not even sure
they played their best football against Oklahoma, and it never
felt like Oklahoma was going to have a shot to

(54:03):
win it. I think the only thing there is Oklahoma's proven,
like you just said, not to be that great anyway,
and we know NC State is not very good this year,
so they haven't had that kind of marquee win. We're
gonna find out that. We're gonna get to answer that question,
I think on October the nineteenth when they when they
hook it up in Knoxville, and that's gonna be an
insane atmosphere. You know, Bama's got to play at Tennessee

(54:26):
and then go and host Missouri the next week, so
they've got that, and then they go to LSU after
a breather, so they've got a three three game stretch
there where we'll get to know a little bit more
about them, But I think I'd still give it to Texas,
And then I think you'd have to put Bama there
just because of the quality of the win against Georgia.
But at the same time, like if Tennessee ended up

(54:48):
being the best of the three teams, I wouldn't be
like completely shocked. I do think. I don't think that
Texas has done anything wrong in the last couple of weeks.
They just it's not quite the same offense. You got
a young guy in arch Manning who's going to be really,
really good and who had really good numbers here. But
it's not like they like walked all over Mississippi State.
They were just a far better team.

Speaker 2 (55:09):
You know, we got the phone lines are still buzzing.
Let's get to one more call Poppy in San Diego.
You're on with Aeron Torres and Jason Martin here a
little after midnight. Eastern Alabama wins forty one to thirty four. Poppy,
what do you got to say? Oh man, how you doing?

Speaker 9 (55:23):
Hey good good, Thanks for having me on.

Speaker 6 (55:25):
Guys.

Speaker 9 (55:25):
Hey, look, it's not a weird game, like I know
you were saying it's a weird game. Look, this is
what happened. Conspiracy theory that we're getting shut out. Georgia
was by halftime, so we had ESPN Bobzo call Nick Saban,
and next Saban picked up the phone and said, Hey,
you gotta let Georgia come back to the boring game.
Let's make this entertainment. And next Saban went to the sideline.

(55:46):
He gave the instructions and Alabama was not doing nothing.
And then on the fourth corner he said, you guys
got to wake up. Now, looks like they're making a run. Hey,
I hear a lot of people saying conspiracy theories, and
let's put these people wrong. What we want it's entertainment.
It's give them something to wake up and be on
their toes. So when Georgia threw that session, one pass

(56:06):
makes it, Bobby, I.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
Appreciate the call. Appreciate the call.

Speaker 4 (56:09):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
I like that theory the double agent, Nick.

Speaker 4 (56:12):
Saban, Saban's an interesting part of that. I'd read. I
was following that following the athletic after the game, just
to see what the fans were saying in the discussion area,
and there were some saying ESPN called the sim because
it gave them the perfect script for their SEC broadcasts
and all this kind of stuff. I'm like, guys, ease up,
like and this wasn't trying to be funny, like this

(56:32):
was actually like a legitimate this guy was arguing that
kind of a theory. I do think it's interesting that
Saban Saban somehow is like Martin Scorsese now according to
according to our last caller there, but yeah, that's that's it.
You couldn't have written it better. But that's true if
you were making a movie, that's exactly how you would
make it, unless you wanted Georgia to actually come back

(56:56):
and win the game as opposed to just take the lead.
But I think it's more interesting that they took the
lead and then Bama punched them right back in the
mouth and ended up beating him.

Speaker 2 (57:05):
Yeah, I like Poppy's theory that Nick Saban. Kirby called
Nick Saban for the halftime adjustments and then you know,
de borhead one more trick up his sleeve. But Alabama
does win this one. Just an absolute thriller. Forty one
to thirty four is your final score. Incredible, incredible game Intuscaloosa.

(57:26):
And we will continue the conversation about this game throughout
the next couple hours. Should mention football fans, be sure
to tune into Fox Sports Radio every Sunday morning, beginning
at ten am Eastern seven Pacific for Countdown to Kickoff,
presented by bet MGM, Brian No, Jeff Schwartz, and professional
better Bill Krakenberg will have you covered for three hours
before kickoff. Every Sunday morning, listen to Countdown to Kickoff,

(57:48):
presented by bet MGM right here on Fox Sports Radio
and the iHeartRadio app. We can only hope that Week
four of the NFL has as much bang and pop
as Week five of college football did. We'll come back,
We'll start to look ahead to Week four of the NFL.
Everything we know so far and everything you need to

(58:09):
know going into Sunday. That's all next. Fox Sports Radio,
Welcome back, everybody. Fox Sports Radio. Eric Towards Jason Martin
broadcasting live from the Tireck dot Com Studios. I believe
that's Jamart's favorite song that you just let in with
Tay Shirt. Tay Shirt is such a pro. Sky just
works seven days a week, comes in and just starts

(58:29):
dropping our favorite songs.

Speaker 3 (58:34):
Jaymart sing along. If you want to buddy now, I'm
a pass on that.

Speaker 4 (58:37):
But at least I'm gonna do that for the sick
of the audience at this standpoint. But I will say
that everybody does want to rule a college football world
right now.

Speaker 2 (58:45):
Everybody wants to There is only one team that still
is the ruler of the college football world with it.
Tell you what, Let's toss it over the news desk
de Sager. Even at this late hour, there is so
much going on. Tell us everything that we need to know.

Speaker 6 (59:00):
Well, we've got three late games in college football on
Fox TV. Eighth ranked Oregon a heavy favorite. Tonight, let
at UCLA seven to three after the first quarter, under
two minutes to go till halftime. It's now Oregon twenty
eight to three in the lead. Arizona's playing at number
ten Utah. That is not packed twelve after dark. It
is big twelve after dark. Arizona leads the Utes ten

(59:22):
to three early in the third quarter and on FS
one late in the third Number twenty five Boise State
with the home lead against Washington State seventeen to ten.
Boise State superstar running back Ashton genty on fourteen carries,
has one hundred thirty eight yards rushing and two scores. Earlier,
we had number four Alabama staying undefeated with the home

(59:43):
win over number two Georgia forty one thirty four. The
game winning TD pass with about two minutes to go
a seventy five yarder Jalen Milroe to Ryan Williams, who
had six catches one hundred and seventy seven yards sec. Network,
says Milrose night. What he did this evening has never
been done against a top five opponent in the history
of the AP pole because he had not only three

(01:00:05):
hundred yards passing, but one hundred yards rushing and two
rushing touchdowns in this game. So Bama notch is another
win against a top five opponent since two thousand and seven.
That's twenty five victories for the Bama program against the
top five. Wow wins in the top ten for Texas,
Ohio State and number nine Penn State, which stayed undefeated

(01:00:27):
beating Illinois this evening twenty one to seven. Kentucky got
the upset win at number six Old Miss twenty to seventeen.
Among the other games in college football, Kansas is one
to four now after losing it home to TCU thirty
eight twenty seven. Colorado four and one after its victory
at UCF today forty eight to twenty one. Texas Tech

(01:00:49):
is four and one after a home win tonight over
Cincinnati forty four to forty one. Indiana Hoosiers five and
oh after the home victory against Maryland forty two. Toy
Nebraska is four and one after a win at lowly
Purdue twenty eight to ten, and don't forget Rutgers four
and oh after last night's win edging Washington twenty one

(01:01:09):
to eighteen as Washington missed three field goal attempts and
lost by three points. New Mexico won at New Mexico
State fifty to forty. Each team one and four. The
USA Golfers lead the President's Cup eleven to seven against
the international team in Montreal. Going into Sunday singles matches
the WNBA Playoffs best of five semi you start on Sunday.

(01:01:32):
Packers quarterback Jordan Love is expected to play Sunday after
the knee injury. Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert due to start,
according to NFL media, despite his high ankle sprain. The
Dolphins will start quarterback Tyler Huntley on Monday. Skyler Thompson
has been limited in practice with a rib injury, and
it was a great night for the Atlanta Braves, who
won their fifth straight game, two to one over Kansas City,

(01:01:53):
getting a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth
from Travis Darno Rinaldo Lopez with no decision but nine
strikes in six innings on the mound. The Braves now
on Sunday, can clinch a wildcard berth with a win
or an Arizona loss. Arizona got shut out at home
tonight five nothing. Padres the final. San Diego hit three
homers in the top of the night to get those

(01:02:14):
five runs. Mets got shut out on Fox TV six
nothing at Milwaukee, so the Mets are now tied with
Arizona for the final NL wildcard. Mets do own the
tiebreaker most teams and the regular season tomorrow, but after
the brains Braves were ranged out twice this week against
the Mets, there will be that makeup doubleheader on Monday.

Speaker 2 (01:02:34):
Back to you, thank you very much, Steve Sager Di
Saga will rejoin us here in about fifteen or so
minutes with his extended update as we close out hour two.
But this is Fox Sports Radio Aeron Tors Jason Martin,
we are broadcasting live from the Tirerack dot Com studios.
Tell you what, Jamart? This time last week we did
a fun little segment. Week four of the NFL season

(01:02:55):
is underway. Obviously, it opened with let's be honest, a
little bit of a getable game on Thursday Night football,
a game only a mother could love, as Dallas beats
the New York Giants twenty to fifteen. But this time
last week, j mart we did something we called this
is what we know through Week three of the NFL season.

Speaker 3 (01:03:16):
I want to keep it going.

Speaker 2 (01:03:18):
This is what we know through week four of the
NFL season, ty Shirt, give us a little music, Jamart,
Why don't you go first tell us what you know
through week four of the NFL or week three of
the NFL season going in a week four?

Speaker 4 (01:03:30):
I know the Vikings are good. I wasn't ready to
get there last week. I'm ready to get there now.
I'm pretty shocked by Darnold. But I do think that
Kevin O'Connell does so much more credit. I said that
last week after you had made the point about the Vikings.
But they're legit. I mean what they did last what
they did to the Texans, I mean, that's just not
Nobody expected that not to even if you picked the

(01:03:53):
Vikings to win the game, it shouldn't have been like that.
But Stroud was uncomfortable the entire game. It just didn't
look right from the jump for them, and the Vikings
just never let up. They're impressive, very very impressive, and
a shock honestly considering how the season started for them.
But you look at it and you just realize they've

(01:04:14):
got a good coach, they've got a good brain trust,
and they've got some skill talent. Guys are playing above
their heads a little bit, and and Darnald maybe finally
has found the system where they actually trust him a
little bit and he's making plays.

Speaker 3 (01:04:28):
Credit to the Vikings, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (01:04:30):
You know a situation by the way where Donald you
know he's effective, but they're just not asking him, asking
him to do too much. Excuse me, defense number two
in the league giving up just ten points per game. Listen,
Brian Flores has been through a lot over the last
four or five years. You know, we'll see if he

(01:04:50):
gets another head coaching opportunity. Maybe it wasn't the right fit.
We know what Ta said about him in the offseason,
but this dude, at least through three games, has proven
to be an elite defensive ordinator. J Mart, I'll stay
in the same division, and frankly, I'll go to the
Vikings Sunday opponent. And what I know through three weeks
to the NFL season, heading into Week four, Matt Lafleur

(01:05:13):
is a freaking coaching god. Okay, like you know, listen,
I was a guy.

Speaker 3 (01:05:21):
Listen.

Speaker 2 (01:05:21):
Early on it was how much of it is him?
How much of it is Rogers? Well, Rogers is gone,
Jordan Love overnight becomes a two hundred million dollar max
contract guy. And then, oh, by the way, Jordan Love
goes down in Week one in a game that you
easily could have won. Malik Willis, you know the story
better than I do, J Mart. He comes from the

(01:05:43):
Tennessee Titans, off the scrap heap, and all this guy
does is produce, completing seventy four percent of his passes
three hundred and twenty four yards, passing two touchdowns in
the time that he has been forced into action for
Jordan Love. Jordan Love is expected back on some but
independent of that, I'm just blown away by how good

(01:06:04):
Matt Lafleor.

Speaker 4 (01:06:05):
Is yeah, I really, I don't know what to add
to that. It's the most wrong that I've ever been
about anything in my life. Because when he was the
offensive coordinator with the Titans and the Packers signed him,
of course I was covering the Titans daily at that point,
I said, what are they thinking? Like he was not
impressive here at all during his short time as offensive coordinator,
But well, that's why they make decisions. And I talk

(01:06:28):
because he's been phenomenal post Aaron Rodgers. You've seen now
the best of him and what he's doing. I mean,
he's just putting guys in position to succeed. What he's
doing with Malik Willis while Love is on the shelf
is pretty incredible. And now he gets Love back. I
can't wait to see how that game plays out tomorrow.
I'll tell you what I know. I know that Josh

(01:06:49):
Allen's playing the best football of his life right now.
They have I mean, look, you lose to Fon Diggs,
you lose Gabe Davis, you lose all these guys that
he's used to throwing to, and I mean milliated the Jags,
Like there's a large there's a bigger conversation to have
about the Jacksonville Jaguars, no question about it. But the
Bills right now look unbeatable in the AFC. They just

(01:07:13):
they look incredible on both sides of the ball. And
I don't think either one of us saw that coming
into the year. But I believe that it's fair to
say we know it now.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
No, I certainly didn't. You know, listen, we all thought
they would be good, but I didn't see this. I
didn't see the three and oh start. And I can't
wait till our four when we preview their game on
Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. J Martin, I'll tell you
what I know. I was dead right on Jayden Daniels.

Speaker 7 (01:07:41):
I just was.

Speaker 2 (01:07:42):
I don't remember what your takes were on him coming
into the draft. But first of all, even going back
to last year, and I know we're talking NFL, we
don't have to make everything about college, but you know,
there was this narrative of.

Speaker 3 (01:07:52):
How can you give him the heisman?

Speaker 2 (01:07:54):
They lost three games, and it's like if you watched LSU,
they would have lost more than three games without him.
But you know, you talk about a performance for the ages.
You know, we just talked about Monday, night football, but
the inverse of Monday night football in the other game.
We had two games last week and everybody saw it.
I don't need to rehash it too much, but twenty
one of twenty three passing two hundred and fifty four yards,

(01:08:17):
two touchdown passes, one rushing touchdown, and listen, you know
I said it last week with Caleb Williams. Is so
much is what the situation is that you go into.
And Jayden Daniels has been awesome, but also Dan Quinn
when he has a real offensive coordinator, he is hands off.
He lets Cliff Kingsbury do his thing, just like he's

(01:08:37):
letting Kyle Shannon, just like he let Kyle Shanahan do
his thing seven eight years ago. And I don't think
this Washington thing is a fluke. Yeah, I'll be quick
because I want to get back to you. But Giants,
we know what they are. Kyle boys have clearly regressed.
The Eagles, which we may get to by the end
of this segment, have clearly regressed or I don't think
they're very good. I'm not ready to say Washington winning

(01:09:00):
this division, but they're not going anywhere.

Speaker 4 (01:09:02):
I mean, I think I had them. I mean I
had them way over their total when we were doing
our over unders. But you're you're dead right about Daniels.
I was high on him too, but for him to
have done what he did on Monday night just just
that had to be great for Washington football fans. I'll
say this, since you said you were right about something,
I think i'll say something. I know that I feel
like I'm pretty right about Anthony Richardson was not ready. Nope,

(01:09:26):
that I mean that game was bad on both sides.
The Bear, I mean, the Bears is just what they've
got on the sidelines needs to change. I mean, Caleb
is getting set back big time, and he's got to
grow and do some things differently as well. But that
situation is not very good. But Anthony Richardson just doesn't
look ready, and he looks like, yeah, there's a lot
of potential, but there's a lot of potential when Trey
Lance too and how did that end up working out?

(01:09:47):
Richardson I think could have could have stood potentially another
year in college. But look, he got that rookie deal
and he's made his money, but he's he doesn't look
right now like he was worth the risk for the
the Indianapolis Colts.

Speaker 2 (01:10:01):
Forty nine percent completion percentage, three touchdowns, six interceptions. Last
one from me J mart I just said it. What
I know, Nick, Sirianni, it's a ticking time bomb. Like listen,
cong yeah, like, congrats on the win, congrats on Saquon
Barkley bailing you out. And by the way, in all seriousness,

(01:10:25):
good for Saquon on getting right after what happened two
weeks ago on Monday Night football. But dude, you and
I and Ian were texted producer Ian. We were all
texting during that game three or four just truly weird decisions,
you know, Sirianni. Almost to me, reminds me of the
way we talked about Brandon Staley, where there's no rhyme

(01:10:47):
or reason anything he does. You know, they do the
fake tush push, they go for it on fourth down
then they and it's just like, congrats on the win.
You beat you know, you beat New Orleans in a
game where the defense did step up in saque was
great late. But I just I don't see the answers
for this team. I think that guy is a ticking
time bomb. I think he's done sooner rather than later.

Speaker 4 (01:11:09):
One more from me. I know that Brian Dabele has
had it with Daniel Jones. Here's what we also know.
Elite Neighbors is incredible. Elite Neighbors isn't outstanding player already,
Like you see it and you're actually looking at it, like, man,
imagine if he had a real quarterback, Like imagine if
he had like a stud level quarterback. And you know

(01:11:29):
who else wonders that, Brian David Because we know what
Daniel Jones is and I think we all knew it
when he got the money, Like we knew that they
were they were living a high life that they probably
shouldn't have been living the year that they made it
to the playoffs and beat the Vikings. But now you're
seeing kind of the other side of that, which is
Daniel Jones has never taken you to the promised land.

(01:11:50):
He had good numbers, played great for three quarters, then
the lights got brighter and he was terrible in the
fourth quarter of that game. That's just a bad situation
for the Giants. Like there is one team right now
that feels on the right track in that division, and
we already talked about him in this Washington.

Speaker 2 (01:12:07):
No doubt, don't really have anything to add there other
than you know it's you know, it's what you said.

Speaker 3 (01:12:12):
J mart Is.

Speaker 2 (01:12:14):
Most of these contracts like we kind of get him
in real time, like even Toua, Like he had injuries,
but he was coming off an incredible season. Jordan Love,
he hasn't really proven an over long term but whatever.
Nobody thought that Daniel Jones should get that contract when
he got it, And I know it was a little
bit under market, but everybody knew it. It's over and

(01:12:37):
I'll be transparent. It's kind of a weird thing to say.
I do hope Dabel, you know, doesn't. I don't know
what the plan would be for the Giants, but I
still think you give him a real quarterback. He can
have success. Had success with Josh Allen, by the way,
got the Giants to the playoffs in year one.

Speaker 3 (01:12:53):
But I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (01:12:55):
The Giants are cooked. Daniel Jones is cooked. No, he's
not cooked, Steve Disager, He's just getting started. He is
coming back. He gives us the extended update about twelve
forty five Eastern every Sunday morning, getting you caught up
on everything you missed throughout the day. The saga is next.
This is Fox Sports Radio. Welcome back everybody, Fox Sports Radio,

(01:13:20):
Eric Torris, Jason Martin. We are broadcasting live from the
tyreck dot Com studios, as we do every week around
this time. Toss it over the news desk to Saga,
give us your extended update moment.

Speaker 6 (01:13:30):
Oh, do we have a lot to discuss? First off,
the three late games. Boise States, playing on FS one,
ranked twenty fifth, have just scored again early fourth quarter,
leading Washington State thirty one seventeen. We keep calling him
a possible first round running back for the NFL, and
he has yet to disprove us. Ashton, Gentia Boise State
on eighteen carries is up to two hundred and eighteen

(01:13:53):
yards rushing tonight and three touchdowns. Arizona is leading at
Number ten Utah sixteen to three in the quarter halftime.
Number eight Ore Gonna head at UCLA twenty eight to ten.
And the University of Connecticut got another home Thay today
forty seven to three over Buffalo. And there was a
matchup guys in college football today of UMass at Miami, Ohio,

(01:14:16):
a matchup only a mother could love. But the good
news is we have overtime in college football these days,
so somebody was going to get a victory here, and
what do you know, it went overtime Miami, Ohio twenty
three to twenty winners. You ot against Massachusetts the game tonight,
and boy did it turn out to be quite a
game that fourth quarter at Alabama unreal. Bama takes the

(01:14:38):
game over number two Georgia forty one thirty four on
the late seventy five yard touchdown pass Carson Beck in
the loss for Georgia three td passes but four turnovers.
So Alabama has now won nine of its last ten
matchups against Georgia, and this in the win column for
the new head coach at Alabama, Kaylin de Boor. Keep
in mind this South Dakota native have turned his alma mater,

(01:15:02):
University of Sioux Falls into an Neia power in football
about fifteen years ago. Then he became an offensive coordinator
at four different schools, and then he was head coach
at Fresno State for two years, head coach at Washington
for two years, and now has the Alabama job. Our
Bruce Feldman points out the career record as a head
coach for Kaylin de Boorr is now one oh eight

(01:15:23):
and twelve one oh eight and twelve, and against top
ten teams, he's now five in one, including tonight, and
against ranked opponents in general, he's thirteen and two. Army
has started four and oh and Navy has now started
four and oh, each of them starting four to oho
for the first time since about the end of World

(01:15:44):
War Two in nineteen forty five. So you might say,
are you telling me that the Army Navy game we
know and love in mid December could be deciding a
playoff spot?

Speaker 4 (01:15:56):
Do it, dude?

Speaker 6 (01:15:58):
Well, not really, because although these guys are in the
same conference now the American, their regular annual meeting December
fourteenth will not be counting as a conference game. The
good news is they could be meeting each other a
week before that for the conference championship in the American

(01:16:20):
and that could decide a playoff spot.

Speaker 3 (01:16:23):
So that Army Navy game is always after the conference
championship game, that's.

Speaker 6 (01:16:26):
Correct, and it's therefore after when the selection committee gives
us the playoff field.

Speaker 2 (01:16:31):
Could this be like old school college football, like you know,
like remember they used to crown a national champion before
the bowl games and then they lose. So I just
throw Army into the college football Playoff and then they
lose to Navy.

Speaker 3 (01:16:42):
That'd be wild.

Speaker 4 (01:16:42):
They scored thirty five in like four games.

Speaker 6 (01:16:44):
In a row, and Navy had about forty today and
Army had about forty in the Thursday night game. And
so it is possible that Army plays Navy on back
to back weekends in December. That's correct the way things
are going. The other good teams, it appears in the
American would not only be Army and Navy, but Memphis

(01:17:05):
although it lost its conference opener tou Lane and North
Texas in there as well. And guys, there was the
announcement tonight that the game day pregame show is going
to Cal next weekend. It had never been there. Can
you name any of the six schools where they've never
been in Power Conference current Power Conference schools where game
day has never been on their campus with that school

(01:17:28):
hosting the pregame show.

Speaker 3 (01:17:29):
All right, so you's at six.

Speaker 6 (01:17:31):
There are six now that Cal is going to be
taken off that list. By the way, there hasn't been
a game day in the state of California, but once
in the last decade there was a Saturday morning early
for UCLEGA six six like six left that have never
hosted game day.

Speaker 4 (01:17:47):
Just any of the one hundred and twenty men out
of the Power Conference, Okay, okay, okay, okay.

Speaker 2 (01:17:53):
Unlikely, I would guess because they're new to the Power Conferences. UCF,
you're on the right track.

Speaker 6 (01:18:00):
SMU is on the list.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
For like five years in a row.

Speaker 6 (01:18:05):
Virginia is on the list. Maryland, Rutgers, and Syracuse have
never hosted.

Speaker 4 (01:18:11):
I was gonna say Rutgers, but Ruggers is undefeated right now,
and so was Indiana. That's right.

Speaker 6 (01:18:15):
So was BYU unbelievable. And by the way, so is
UNLV because they destroyed I was going to say, that's.

Speaker 2 (01:18:22):
A big one. I mean, that was when we weren't
sure how Alabama was gonna go. I had that slotted
in as a potential top.

Speaker 4 (01:18:27):
But when's the last time UNLV was in the news.
Nobody's talking about UNLV.

Speaker 6 (01:18:31):
UNLV fifty nine to fourteen to the final. They're in
the Mountain West, which means they are in Boise State's
conference still until that conference breaks up in a couple
of years.

Speaker 2 (01:18:42):
Boise State still until their quarterback goes and asks for nil.
They're down to the third stringer.

Speaker 6 (01:18:46):
Next week, we could have Boise State at UNLV and
for all we know, that decides the last playoff spot
in early December. By the way, with Major League Baseball
ending its regular season Sunday, with most teams again, there's
that braves rainout from this week. They're gonna have to
make up a double header against the Mets on Monday.
But all the games on Sunday in Major League Baseball

(01:19:08):
will be starting at about three pm Eastern time, and
there is no one game playoff anymore. All the tie
breakers come down to how you did head to head,
and so the Mets would win a tiebreaker against the
Diamondbacks if it gets today.

Speaker 2 (01:19:22):
Very crazy, disigre, did you just give us an update?
By the way, Ashton Gent just at a fifty nine
yard touchdown run. He broke about thirty seven tackles.

Speaker 6 (01:19:30):
In this He's over two hundred yards rushing.

Speaker 2 (01:19:32):
Insanity. Insanity, and by the way, Utah trailing as well.
I know you just told us that, but that's big
for the big twelve standings. Come back, Jamart, We'll talk more,
bab but Georgia preview week for the NFL. Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 1 (01:19:45):
You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

Speaker 2 (01:19:48):

Jason Martin, we are taking you live up until two
am Eastern time. Bernie Frado of The Bernie Frado Show
follows us. Bernie is all over everything. By the way,
I talked to him multiple times this week during this
UNLV story. I'm sure he talked about it on his

(01:20:33):
show last night. If you want the inside scoop of
everything that happened with UNLV football this year, as well as,
by the way, a busy Saturday in college football, a
great look ahead to Sunday in the NFL. Make sure
that you are following Bernie Fratto and make sure that
you're listening and staying tuned in. After we get off
air fifty eight minutes from now. Jmart let's get to

(01:20:59):
the game of the night. Just a wild game, and
I think you've said it so well in hour one
when we were breaking it all down. By the way,
if you missed any of our Alabama Georgia breakdown you
know throughout the show, make sure to download the podcast
as well.

Speaker 3 (01:21:16):
But jaymart you said it, and I agree with you.

Speaker 2 (01:21:19):
People are going to, I believe, falsely claim that Alabama
Georgia was an instant classic. It was classic, it was different.
I don't know that we could call it a classic
game as much as a classic finish. But final score,
Alabama wins forty one to thirty four. That's not the story, though.

(01:21:40):
The story was Alabama jumps out to a twenty eight
to nothing lead. Everybody's saying all these things about, you know, Alabama,
the dynasty's not dead, Kaylin de boor you know Kirby
Smart he thought they had the rubikskub that is Alabama
figured out. I bring it up because just as soon
as we were ready to hand the flower to Alabama,

(01:22:01):
a twenty eight to nothing lead became a thirty four
to thirty three deficit as Georgia took the lead late
in the third quarter or late in the fourth quarter,
excuse me from there, a one play touchdown drive by
Alabama gives them a forty one to thirty four lead,
and a late interception from Xavian Brown seals the victory.

(01:22:23):
Alabama wins forty one to thirty four. Thrilling finished. J Mart,
We're about an hour and a half removed, about ninety
or minutes, ninety minutes or so removed from the final.

Speaker 3 (01:22:36):
Have you had time to digest this game was just
a classic?

Speaker 4 (01:22:41):
Yeah? I mean it ended again the most important thing
about a movie, a television show, all those things. Even
if you enjoyed it along the way, if the ending
sours you, you're not going to have a great impression
of what happened. I'd rather get a great ending to
what wasn't a particularly dramatic football game for the vast
majority of it, because you this is what you're gonna remember.

(01:23:03):
You're gonna remember, kind of in broad strokes, what a
dominant performance it was early and how it looked like
there's gonna be a laugher. And I'll bet you a
lot of people tuned it out, either started watching Penn
State Illinois or maybe some baseball, or just moved on
to do something else and then got called back to
the television, or maybe just check back and let's see
how big Alabama's up what? And then you know you

(01:23:25):
stuck around for but you got the ending. It have
been a lot of great television shows that can't stick
the landing and aren't remembered as fondly because they had
bad endings. Even in recent years, you've got you know,
the Game of Thrones and How I Met Your Mother
and things like that, where they were just lambasted how
they ended.

Speaker 2 (01:23:43):
They were finishing that show as we speak. I've seen
the ending. But yeah, the ending is really bad.

Speaker 4 (01:23:47):
It's it's horrendous. Yeh, it's absolutely terrible. I mean it
deserves all the all the lampooting that it gets. But yeah,
so I do think that this is this is why
sports great, and this is why this time slot is
like us stealing money. But we're gonna continue to take
a paycheck. And well, go ahead and tell you that
whoever is listening for Fox, we appreciate it. But like

(01:24:11):
we scrapped an hour, we ended up taking phone calls.
We ended up talking about this in real time because
it just sports and Bernie, since we mentioned Bernie already,
Bernie says this all the time. You know, sports is
the greatest reality show there is, and it really is
because you couldn't have scripted this better if you were
making this into a movie. This had everything that you
want at the end after not being good for three

(01:24:33):
quarters and five minutes. Basically, I mean, it was an
eighteen point game entering the fourth quarter. It was never
a game that Georgia was in as a matter of fact,
and then it becomes one of the great and most
memorable ten minute stretches that you'll ever see in anything.
And I'm still kind of just shocked that that's how

(01:24:57):
that event actually went down.

Speaker 3 (01:25:00):
I am as well.

Speaker 2 (01:25:01):
And it's funny because you said, you know a lot
of people tuned it out is obviously Look, I was
obviously paying attention to the game, getting ready for the show,
But like you said, you know, I'm starting to just
you know, make sure I got all my my you know,
my my t's crossed and my eyes dotted with the
NFL pre coverage and all that stuff, and all of
a sudden you look up and again George's.

Speaker 3 (01:25:20):
Trailing thirty three to twenty.

Speaker 2 (01:25:21):
They're in the red zone driving, and it's just crazy
how much happened in those final few minutes as Alabama
gets the win. Let me ask you this, Jamark, a
week or so ago, well not a week or so.
A week ago after Tennessee took care of business against Oklahoma.
I remember asking you, I said, what do you believe
is that upper tier of college football? And you know,

(01:25:45):
you know, I think we all put Texas there after
the Michigan win. But Ohio State really still hasn't played anybody,
although they certainly look good. Tonight dominated against Michigan State
on the road. That was Ohio State's first road game.
We are two saturdays away from there trip up to Oregon.
By the way, it's worth noting Oregon right now is
running away from UCLA in a second straight dominant win.

(01:26:09):
They would go to four and zero. If and when
they get the victory, they're up twenty eight to ten
early in the third quarter. There Tennessee we mentioned. Do
you think does Alabama look the part of a team that,
in this twelve team playoff era can win those three
to four postseason games and win a national championship? Do
you think they're a step below? Where do you think

(01:26:30):
they fit in the pecking order of college football?

Speaker 4 (01:26:32):
It's hard to say. After what happened last night. Now
depending on where you are in the country, that they're
not capable because they've got a quarterback that can make
things happen. The moment hasn't been too big for him.
He's continued to grow as a player, grow as a leader.
When they needed him most, he was able to make

(01:26:54):
plays for them, both with his legs and with his arms.
His accuracy has got better. He's a lot more confident
throwing the football now. So you take that and you
add to it a really solid coaching staff that is
a year removed, at least their head coach is a
year removed from being right on the doorstep of a

(01:27:14):
national championship. Of course, I think it's hard to exclude
them because I think I'm excluding Georgia now just because
I don't trust Carson Beck to be able to win
a big game if things are not going perfectly for
him right now. This was a moment in time for him,
after the moment that he had last year against this

(01:27:35):
same team and it just didn't go their way. And
I look at it from that perspective and say, yeah,
I like Tennessee even though they've got a young guy
who's raw. I really like texas As that they were
my pick in the preseason to win win it all.
I think Ohio State still has some things to prove
because to your point, they haven't played anybody yet and
that was my issue with Old Miss, and we saw

(01:27:57):
what it looked like when they finally ran into somebody.
But I do think Bama do. Bama could do it.
I don't see any reason why they couldn't because I
don't look at this and just see one team that
is going to run away from everybody else. I think
there's half a dozen teams that you could at least
make an argument if things fall their way, that they

(01:28:17):
could win at all. And I think Bama is one
of them.

Speaker 3 (01:28:20):
So I don't disagree with any of that.

Speaker 2 (01:28:22):
And you know, I'll also say this too, is you know,
and I mentioned this earlier in the show, but you know,
I was one of those people that I thought, hey,
you know, twelve team playoff era regular season won't feel
as important.

Speaker 3 (01:28:38):
Yeah, I don't think that's really the case.

Speaker 2 (01:28:40):
And you look at this Alabama thing, and first of all,
you know, with their schedule kind of interesting. If you
look at Alabama's schedule, they don't play Ole Miss, they
don't play Texas, they don't play well they do. They
don't play Ole Miss, they don't play Texas. They beat Georgia. Now,
admittedly they have to go to Tennessee in a few weeks.

(01:29:02):
That's obviously going to be a very tough game. They
play at LSU at Oklahoma. Neither of those teams looks unbeatable.
It's like, you know, that team right now feels like
they have an inside track to Atlanta compete for an
SEC championship. And with Georgia, it's almost the exact opposite,
is is you know, they haven't looked great. I would
argue they've played one great half of football all year long.

(01:29:27):
M hm, that's exactly what I was gonna say. Uh,
I'm sure it was great against Tennessee Tech. That's an
FCS school.

Speaker 3 (01:29:32):
I don't care.

Speaker 2 (01:29:34):
But listen, even tonight they had a chance to win.
Kirby Smart will tell you they didn't play their best football.
And so I bring it up because maybe it all
means nothing, and maybe Georgia's eleven and one and they
win the SEC and they get the number one seed
in the playoff and we all look stupid. But now
all of a sudden, no, you're not eliminated, but you
gotta go to Texas, you gotta go too Old Miss,
you play Tennessee at home, and it's like, all of

(01:29:55):
a sudden, this loss does matter, does have implication, And
I think this is something you and I have talked
about from actually from week zero on J mart Is.
You know, in this twelve team playoff era, you don't
want to overreact to one loss. But I do think
you can see trends coming and this Georgia team, just
with this schedule, does not look unbeatable. And yes, I

(01:30:19):
would be if you told me that they went and
ran the table. I guess I probably wouldn't be shocked.
I might be a little bit just because the teams
that they play are really good. But I also bring
it up because I wouldn't be shocked if they finish
eleven and one. But I think we've seen enough now
through a third of the season for the Bulldogs that
there are real problems and you can't just brush it off. Oh,

(01:30:42):
it's a twelve team playoff era, everybody gets in. That's
a team that is going to have to beat somebody
pretty good at some point to make sure that they
go ahead and find their way into that twelve team playoff.

Speaker 4 (01:30:54):
Yes, I think that's right. I mean, I do. I
just I'll look at this Georgia team and I see flaws.
I see team that probably should have lost to Kentucky.
I see a team that has lost to Alabama, and
I'm not sure they've lost for the last time this year.
Quite frankly, I'm really not. I wouldn't be shocked if
that is the last loss that we see them have
in the regular season. But there's definitely some things that

(01:31:15):
need to be worked on at Georgia. There are some
problems there. This team is just not as dynamic. They
are certainly not as frightening as scary. As we're moving
into October and getting towards you know, Halloween and all
those kinds of things. This team doesn't have that kind
of aura to it. It does not. There are multiple
teams in that conference that I would be more fearful
to play right now than Georgia. And I felt like

(01:31:39):
watching that game and watching how it ends and the
way we've been talking about it. But I think this
has been this has been brewing for a little while.
Like a game like this where Georgia I wouldn't say
they got exposed. But they certainly they lost the edge,
they lost whatever it was. Whereas like there was Georgia
and everybody else. That is over at least for now.

(01:32:01):
Now maybe that's that way again next year, but this
year that is that is false, Like you cannot objectively
say that you were a Georgia homer. If you tried
to say something like that, it's just not true.

Speaker 2 (01:32:11):
Which is crazy because remember they were favored against Alabama
and the SEC championship game last year. You know, I
remember seeing stuff after the fact of had they made
the playoff, they would have been favored against everybody, including
Michigan who won the championship, including Alabama who they had
just beaten. Now is a fourteen playoff whatever, But I
just bring it up because it was like I think,

(01:32:33):
and I was guilty of this as well. It's like, well,
they didn't win the championship last year, but they were
absolutely capable, and you get it, you get them into
that four team field, there's a possibility that they actually
do it. And so I just assumed that it was
going to have the trickle down effect into the twenty
twenty four season, and it has not. Uh, Georgia loses,
we certainly don't want to take away credit from Alabama this.

(01:32:54):
We're not trying to make this an Alabama didn't deserve
to win or it isn't a great win. But you
look at your schedule is at Texas, at Ole Miss,
Tennessee at home. There are games on this schedule that
are losable and maybe they win enough to get into
that twelve team playoff. But but right now, I think

(01:33:14):
it's hard to say. You know, listen, they lost Obama
a game that they didn't play well. I think it's
hard to say that they're in that upper upper tier
of the SEC, maybe just a shade behind Alabama, Tennessee
and Texas, but I do think they are behind them. Nonetheless,
Fox Sports Radio Ra Torris, Jason Martin. We are broadcasting
live from the Tyreck dot Com studios. When we come back,

(01:33:38):
we will turn our attention back to Week four of
the NFL. Some really big games. I mean, we got
Ravens Bills, we got Chargers Chiefs, even though the Chargers
I don't even know who's gonna be playing for them.
The bottom line is it's a big Week four. We're
gonna previewed all next because this is Fox Sports Radio

(01:33:59):
welcome back, Hey everybody, Fox Sports Radio er Tors Jason Martin.
We are broadcasting live fromthtireraq dot com studios. You know
who rules to college football World right now? Alabama? They
win forty one to thirty four, and I should mention
shortly after the show podcast will be going up. If
you missed any of today's show, be sure to check
out the podcast. Just search Fox Sports Radio wherever you

(01:34:21):
get your podcast, and be sure to follow, rate and
review the podcast.

Speaker 3 (01:34:25):
Again.

Speaker 2 (01:34:25):
Just search Fox Sports Radio wherever you get your podcasts,
and you'll see this show posted right after we get
off air. We will be off air in thirty seven
minutes from now. But before we get there, as we
do every Sunday morning around this time, do want to
look ahead to the weekend ahead, the Sunday ahead in
the NFL four games. Let's go ahead and dive in ian.

(01:34:48):
What is the first game we are previewing here? First
game is actually the Sunday night game. We got Ravens
versus Bills. The Ravens are actually favored by two and
a half points here. I thought that was a little
super considering the Bills are three and oh, Ravens one
and two.

Speaker 3 (01:35:02):
But what do you guys think.

Speaker 6 (01:35:03):
We'll start with you, Aaron.

Speaker 2 (01:35:04):
I think listen, I so I you know, listen, what
I honestly think is the Bills are unbelievable. That goes
without saying we talked about them earlier in the show.
But short week for them. You gotta go on the
road to Baltimore and listen. I know that Baltimore had

(01:35:26):
to survive last Sunday in Dallas, but at the same
time they established Derrick Henry not putting too much on
Lamar's plate. Listen, you know, uh, nobody since seventy two
has gone undefeated. I don't think the Bills are gonna
be the first one. They got to fall at some point,
and the Ravens are a good football team. Give me

(01:35:47):
the Ravens to win this one. You know, somewhere in
the twenty seven to twenty four type range.

Speaker 4 (01:35:52):
This is a statement win. If you get it in
near Buffalo, you're coming off the short week, already dominated Jacksonville.
If you go to Baltimore on Sunday night, football would
show out. That's a big time statement. If you're Buffalo,
I tend to think you're right, though. I think Buffalo
is a better football team, especially right now. But everything
about this feels like this is this is the kind

(01:36:15):
of night where Lamar has a great primetime moment and
we're talking about that on Monday and looking ahead to
both these teams in the playoffs and things like that.
So I think I'm gonna I'm gonna agree with you.
I think Baltimore wins a close one, even though I
do like Buffalo long term this season more than I
like the Ravens.

Speaker 3 (01:36:34):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:36:34):
One last quick point too, is I do think sometimes
we're all guilty of when you see a team in
a standalone game play their absolute best or their absolute worst,
like that's not who they are. Every single week Buffalo
has been awesome. Don't want to undersell them, but I
think you know, if that same Buffalo Jacksonville game happens

(01:36:57):
in the one o'clock window, we feel great about Buffalo,
but not quite maybe the way that we do. So again,
to your point, I like Buffalo. Go aheady, And what
is the next game we got on the docket?

Speaker 4 (01:37:06):
All right?

Speaker 2 (01:37:07):
Ten am Pacific time on CBS. The Vikings are going
to Lambo to take on the Packers. Packers are favored
by three Vikings are three, and oh though, what do
you guys think?

Speaker 4 (01:37:19):
You go ahead, j Martin, I mean, you tell me, like,
how healthy is Jordan Love. I do think bringing him
back in this game maybe a week quicker than some expected,
or maybe this was the week that a lot of
people thought he would be back. If he's ready to go,
and Jaydon Reid's all right, I mean I still think
that I would take Green Bay because I just I

(01:37:40):
still it's still Sam Darnold. But I also said that
the Vikings are good earlier the game's at Lambeau. That's
why I like the Packers to win it.

Speaker 3 (01:37:50):
So I do like Green Bay as well. And my
thought is a lot like yours is.

Speaker 2 (01:37:57):
I know Jordan Love's coming back, but I saw some
comments from and Love today that he felt like, you know,
in a pinch, he could have played last week. So
this is actually like a little bit of an extended
time frame as far as making sure that he's healthy.
And I do think there's a couple other variables. Is Listen,
the Vikings have been unbelievable. Don't want to undersell what
Sam Donald that team has done. But the two big

(01:38:20):
wins against San Francisco, against against the Texans were both
at home. You're going on the road, and I just
you know, the other thing with Donald two is this
is in no way, shape or form being disrespectful, but
they really, you know, what has made it so successful
is that he hasn't had to do too much. One

(01:38:41):
hundred and eighty one yards passing last week and four touchdowns.
You talk about efficiency on that one, and then the
previous week two hundred and sixty eight yards two hundred
and eight yards passing against the New York Football Giants.
So it's not like it's not as though too much
has been put on his plate. And I think this
is the game where it catches up with them. I

(01:39:02):
do like the Packers to win this one. I give
us another one before we get to disager.

Speaker 3 (01:39:07):
All right, let's go.

Speaker 2 (01:39:08):
Let's go Chiefs Chargers. Chiefs three and oho, Chargers two
and one. They are Chiefs are the away team and
they're favored by seven points.

Speaker 4 (01:39:17):
What do you guys think?

Speaker 3 (01:39:18):
Go ahead?

Speaker 4 (01:39:18):
You Mark Mahomes has quietly not been mahomes like this year.
But they're still undefeated, so maybe he has been. I
don't think he's right now. He's not playing MVP level football,
but there's still a lot of football left to be played.
Herbert is coming back, but it's one of those injuries

(01:39:39):
that can be kind of nagging. You could see this
being a game he starts and doesn't finish. It just
doesn't feel right to me for the Chargers. They're just
coming in a little bit too banged up and with
a few too many question marks for my taste. I'll
take Kansas City. I think they'll cover that seven.

Speaker 3 (01:39:55):
So I agree.

Speaker 2 (01:39:56):
First of all, you know, really, I don't know that
there's to add, you know, Justin Herbert. I'll be honest, like,
I get this is football, I get you know, you know,
tough guy, all that stuff. The Chargers do have a
buy this coming week after this game. I don't get
why you would rush him back. It just feels like, basically,

(01:40:19):
if he doesn't play on Sunday, he gets obviously another
two weeks off. That's a tough defense to come back against.
And it's worth noting too, both your tackles could be
out of that game as well. So I don't really
understand why you would rush Justin Herbert back. Now, by
the way, what you said, J Mart is accurate. You know,
it seems as though he wants to play and is

(01:40:40):
expecting to play, just doesn't feel like the right spot
for him to come back. Tell you what, let's come
back by the way, Let's get to the news desk.
But Disager, you're mister Charger.

Speaker 3 (01:40:51):
You work.

Speaker 4 (01:40:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:40:53):
I don't want to speak for you. I don't know
if you work with the Chargers, but you work Chargers games.
Do you have any indication one the expectation, But then too,
just what's your personal thought? Do you think he should
be rushed back for this game?

Speaker 5 (01:41:06):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:41:07):
Okay, I work in the Charger booth. I'm employed by
iHeart Radio, which owns Fox Sports Radio. But yes, I
will be there tomorrow Kansas City at the Chargers. NFL
media is the one saying Herbert's do to start despite
the high ankle sprain, but he's been limited in practice
all week. It was so bad last weekend he had
to come out of the game no mobility. And his
starting tackle Rashaan Slater, who's great, is out tomorrow, and

(01:41:30):
first round tackle Joe Alt from Notre Dame is now doubtful.

Speaker 4 (01:41:33):
By the way.

Speaker 6 (01:41:34):
Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa out with a hip injury to.

Speaker 4 (01:41:37):
Me, man, don't play him like that's just there's a
long season. Give him the extra rests. It's not that
big of a deal. If you go and lose the
game and lose him, you've really screwed up.

Speaker 6 (01:41:47):
The only thing I would say is with this coach,
clearly passing yardage is not a priority, So they could
have him play and not ask him to do much again,
So maybe that's what they're thinking, but I agree with you.
Packer's quarterback Jordan Love is expected to play Sunday after
the knee injury. The Dolphins will start quarterback Tyler Huntley

(01:42:07):
on Monday. Seattle running back Kenneth Walker will play Monday
after an oblique injury. The Seahawks play at Detroit Monday.
Lions tight end Sam Laporta practice fully again after a
sprained ankle. Eagles wide receiver Aj Brown is out again
for the game at Tampa Bay due to his bad hamstring.
At Philadelphia, wide receiver DeVante Smith is also out due
to a concussion. Bucks running back Rashad White was listed

(01:42:30):
as questionable due to illness, but it seems like he's
due to play. Raiders wide out Devonte Adams out this
weekend tight end Trey McBride Cardinals out and Saints linebacker
to Mario Davis out with a hamstring injury. This will
be the first game he misses due to injury in
his thirteen year NFL career. College football winding down on
FS one under twenty seconds to go, twenty fifth rank

(01:42:53):
Boise State now leads forty five twenty four over Washington
State Ashton Centy on twenty six. Cans has two hundred
and fifty nine yards rushing and four touchdowns for Boise State.
At UCLA on Fox TV, Eighth ranked Oregon leads twenty
eight to thirteen over the Bruins. Final seconds of the
third quarter and Arizona has scored again. The leads up

(01:43:14):
to twenty three ten at tenth ranked Utah with six
and a half minutes to go. Wins in the top
ten for Texas, Ohio State for ninth ranked Penn State,
which beat Illinois twenty one to seven. That was seven
to seven in the third quarter. The game was at
fourth ranked Alabama forty one thirty four. The tied beat
number two Georgia as Alabama scored touchdowns on its first

(01:43:36):
four drives, led thirty to seven by halftime, but Georgia
in the fourth had three straight touchdowns to get a
brief lead. Bama won it with the game winning TD,
a seventy five yard pass with just over two minutes
to go. Jalen Milrod to Ryan Williams mill Row with
four total touchdowns. Kentucky on a TD at number six

(01:43:57):
Old Miss with about two and a half minutes to go,
beat the Rebels twenty to seventeen. Mississippi putting the Miss
in Old Miss today as they did not get a
forty eight yard field goal attempt in the final minute.
So Old Miss with this great offense after its opening drive,
TD today had ten drives and just ten first downs. Michigan,

(01:44:17):
ranked twelfth, was up on Minnesota twenty four to three
to start the fourth quarter twenty seven to twenty four.
Wolverine's the final at thirteenth ranked USC Trojans were trailing
Wisconsin at the half. Twenty one ten SC won the
game thirty eight to twenty one. LSU and Notre Dame
with wins Clemson and eighteenth ranked Iowa State as well.
Iowa State only led at Houston three to nothing late

(01:44:39):
third quarter twenty to nothing the final. Iowa State's three
running backs combined for thirty four carries two hundred and
thirty one yards, which is still not what Ashton genty
has done for Boise. Tonight, Kansas State beat Oklahoma State
forty two to twenty twenty. First ranked Oklahoma was trailing
at Auburn with under ten minutes to go twenty one
to ten, but took the lead on a and eventually

(01:45:01):
won at twenty seven to twenty one at Auburn. BYU
led at Baylor twenty one nothing first quarter beat Baylor
thirty four. Twenty eight victories for Texas A and M
and SMU, which beat Florida State forty two sixteen. Tonight,
seminoles are one and four. Duke came back to beat
North Carolina. Appalachian State canceled its home game against Liberty

(01:45:21):
due to storm damage and Major League Baseball's regular season
ends tomorrow for most clubs. The Mets were shut out
tonight six nothing at Milwaukee. Arizona was shut out at
home five nothing by the Padres, who scored the five
in the top of the ninth, and the Atlanta Braves
with a win on Sunday or an Arizona loss would
clinch a Wildcard berth Atlanta won its fifth straight game

(01:45:43):
on a solo homer bottom of the ninth to one
over Kansas City. For these last two Wildcards, Atlanta's lead
is one game over both the Mets and Arizona. And
on Sunday, all the major league games will start at
about three pm Eastern. It is a final at Boise
State forty five twenty four. The Broncos beat the Washington
State Cougars at Arizona. Now leads twenty three to ten

(01:46:05):
at Utah with I believe it's five and a half
to go and the utes driving back to you.

Speaker 2 (01:46:11):
Thank thank you very much to Sag. To Saga, enjoy
the game tomorrow. Uh, you know, do what you gotta do.
Get Justin Herbert on the field. Whatever it takes to
Sager call in a favor or two, I don't know.
But Fox Sports Radio air towards Jason Martin. We are
broadcasting live from the tire Rack dot Com studios. The
Saga will be at so far tomorrow for Chiefs.

Speaker 4 (01:46:32):
We're going to run into Taylor Swift.

Speaker 2 (01:46:34):
Oh yeah, to Saga, be careful get there, mean Taylor
Swift will run into him.

Speaker 6 (01:46:39):
I have run into Clark hunt on that level, because
you know it's press box level. I hadn't even thought
of that, and honestly had not thought of that until
you just brought that up.

Speaker 2 (01:46:47):
Do you think to eat to produce your ends point?
You think Taylor Swift's kind of running around like I
wonder if I'm to run into the saga tomorrow night.

Speaker 6 (01:46:53):
Yeah, I can be pretty confident that's a no. Yeah,
you know you're a big fan. Yeah, she might listen
to Fox Sports. I mean you know, you know what
is located literally right behind the press box of this
stadium is the NFL network they're building, and Patrick Mahomes
could throw a pass from the press box to the
NFL network building. That's their one chance in a million

(01:47:16):
to get Taylor Swift on that channel, Are we right?
If she's there tomorrow? I mean, that's their studios are
right there.

Speaker 3 (01:47:23):
Well, we got to tune in to find out the saga.

Speaker 2 (01:47:26):
Robinot I think that's also no Dale Swift robinel bows
with the Sager.

Speaker 3 (01:47:31):
That's that's the big takeaway that I just had there.

Speaker 2 (01:47:33):
But I'll tell you what, Alex Seischer, give us a
little music, put us back in the mood and let's
finish up our Week four NFL preview. We gave you
thoughts on three of the big ones before the saga.
Let's get to a couple of the big ones after. Uh, producer, Ian,
what do we got?

Speaker 3 (01:47:50):
All right? One of two Monday night football games?

Speaker 2 (01:47:53):
This is actually the interesting one because the other one's
Titans Dolphins. So we're going Seahawks Lions. Detroit's favored by
three and a half points.

Speaker 4 (01:48:01):
What you got it's in Seattle or it's in Detroit,
Righttroit Detroit. I'll just make it short and sweet. Honestly,
I like Detroit because it's at home. Seahawks have been
better than I would think, and boy that their new
coach is starting out really good, and you've been you
have to be impressed with Gino again, like you want
to talk about just coming back from nowhere. That was

(01:48:23):
not a fluke obviously, because he's been great. But I
I just I think Detroit's rolling a little bit. That
was a nice win for them in Arizona. Now they
get to go play in front of their home crowd
at home indoors. If that was in Seattle, I might
go the other way, but I like the home team.

Speaker 2 (01:48:39):
Yeah, I'm with you, j Mart, you know Seattle listen.
I don't want to pour, you know, water on on
their start. But they're three wins they deserve. But three
wins are bow Nicks and his debut as an NFL quarterback,
then Patriots and Dolphins without Dolphins without Tua.

Speaker 3 (01:48:57):
Like you know, you gotta get wins where you can
in this league.

Speaker 2 (01:49:01):
But I'm not gonna sit here and say that you
know that they're there are anything other than they are,
which is a good team that I do think is limited.
I do think Detroit got kind of got back. You
know that that Tampa game a few weeks ago is
just so weird. Jared Goff fifty five pass attempts in
that game, they go out to Arizona, Jared goffa much

(01:49:22):
more pedestrian twenty three pass attempts, and oh, by the way,
as a team, the Detroit Lions finished rushing with one
hundred and eighty seven yards, so they kind of got
back to who they were last week. I like Detroit
to win this game. We got time for one more,
we do. We got the Philadelphia Eagles going to Tampa
Bay to face the Buccaneers. Both teams are two and one.
Philly's only favored by one point, though, what do you

(01:49:43):
guys think?

Speaker 3 (01:49:44):
Jmark, go ahead, man, I don't know.

Speaker 4 (01:49:47):
That was a baffling. My Broncos took it to them
man like that. When you talked about Bo's debut, Well
it looked a lot better last week. They actually let
him do some more. I want to see some more
of that. But I don't know what to make a
Tampa Bay after watching that game. I really don't. But
I'll tell you this. I like Todd Bowles more than
I like Nick Sirianni, So I'll take Tampa Bay.

Speaker 3 (01:50:08):
Yeah, I do.

Speaker 8 (01:50:09):
I do.

Speaker 3 (01:50:09):
I do as well.

Speaker 2 (01:50:11):
You know we talked about Philly earlier in the show. Listen, man,
you know, congrats on the wind. Saquon bailed you out.
I don't feel any better about Philly than I did
coming into the year. Frankly so, Tampa's two and one.
They got that big win over Detroit two weeks ago,
you know, two solid wins with the way the Commanders
are playing, Sometimes you just have a bad week in

(01:50:32):
the NFL.

Speaker 3 (01:50:33):
I think that was that for Tampa. Last week. You
get Philly at home. You know, I'd actually be curious.

Speaker 4 (01:50:41):
I don't know this.

Speaker 3 (01:50:41):
I wonder.

Speaker 2 (01:50:42):
I assume Philly went home, but kind of a weird
travel schedule down in New Orleans, back up to Philly,
back down to Tampa for a one o'clock start.

Speaker 3 (01:50:49):
Go ahead and give me the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Speaker 2 (01:50:53):
Tell you what, Jamart, we will come back. Wrap the
show fun, three hours fast, three hours. That's next. Fox
Sports Radio, Welcome back, everybody. Fox Sports Radio air towards
Jason Martin, broadcasting live from Thetireraq dot com studios, taking

(01:51:16):
you up till two am Eastern Time. Bernie Fratto of
The Bernie Frado Show follows us.

Speaker 3 (01:51:22):
Bernie, I.

Speaker 2 (01:51:26):
I'm excited. I don't know why Tysian's gotta play Theron's
not it's quhi. But that's Okaybron is it Lebron? Ye?

Speaker 4 (01:51:33):
Sorry?

Speaker 3 (01:51:34):
Look at you.

Speaker 2 (01:51:35):
I haven't seen you in a minute. This guy's like
mister sports. He's like stumped to schwab over there. My
goodness of getting everything? Uh, jmart feel like we missed
a lot of stuff. I mean we did like an
hour and a half on Alabama. By the way, if
you missed any of the show, make sure to go
back down with the podcast. Available after the show. What
do you want to talk about this last hour? We're
gonna talk about Karl Anthony Towns. We're gonna talk about Colorado.

(01:51:58):
By the way, Utah, which is a top ten team,
is trailing here twenty three to ten with two minutes left,
so Big twelve is about to be pretty wide open.
Where do you want to where? Let's land this plane.

Speaker 6 (01:52:11):
Where do you want to go?

Speaker 4 (01:52:11):
J Martin. I mean, obviously that NBA trade was something
we had planned to talk a lot about. I have
no idea if we have enough time to even begin
to get into it, but it was a shocker. Didn't
see that one coming on a Friday night in September,
like three four weeks before the regular season gets started,
and it just led me to start wondering about it
from a multitude of angles. Did ant want this? I

(01:52:36):
know the Knicks needed a big and so they got one.
But I mean there were some knocks on Karl Anthony
Towns last year as well, and there hasn't been for
a few different years. I'm not sure he fits the
Knicks just from a personality standpoint, and maybe he does,
like there's just there's a lot going on there, but
I know that after reading about it a lot today.

(01:52:56):
A lot of it has to do with money that
was going to have to go to Karl Anthony Towns
and the ownership dispute and how all of that's going
down in Minnesota, and just this is going to give
them more flexibility. So they bring in Devincenzo and Julius Randall,
who's a guy that until he got hurt this past year,
it was just an iron man out there who needs

(01:53:19):
Maybe it's just both those guys needed to change the scenery.
Randall may have needed to change the scenery in Karl
Anthony Towns, who maybe a Hall of Famer he needed
to change the scenery as well. It definitely makes the
East more interesting because it gives the Knicks another like
all Star level player, even though Randall's been an All
Star in the Pass two and I think right now
it's just who can compete with Boston. Where's the arms race,

(01:53:42):
who's got the talent? And the Knicks this offseason have
been very busy for a team that was pretty close
to reaching the finals last year.

Speaker 2 (01:53:50):
So I sort of get it from the Knicks perspective
or from the well I'll be honest, Okay, so I
sort of get it from the next perspective, because you
I don't think Julius Randall fits necessarily with all those
young guys, all the wings and Guards and Jalen Brunson
and Michel Bridges. But I also hate breaking up the

(01:54:11):
Villanova guys, and it's you know, that was the whole,
like literally, that was their whole ethos was you know,
sums greater than the parts. We play hard, we got
this Villanova culture whatever. Let me take you a step further, though,
I just flat out hate it from the Minnesota Timberwolves perspective,
and let me explain why. I don't know if that

(01:54:31):
core was you know, gonna ever get over the hump?
And when I say get over the humpy, you know
it was you know, they're a young team.

Speaker 4 (01:54:39):
Whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:54:40):
But I was actually talking to VJ.

Speaker 2 (01:54:41):
Husky about this in just a couple of minutes that
we had when we were kind of changing over after
VJ and Martin Weiss's show before us. And the thing
that bothers me from the Timberwolves perspective, you made the
Western Conference Finals. You beat the defending champs in the
Western Conference Finals because of your size and physicality, and

(01:55:04):
the team that you lost to in Dallas is not
like some meteor that you know, like like Dallas isn't
like some you know, unless something goes disastrous, just put
them in pen for the NBA Finals next year. Like
it was kind of a weird year for Dallas too,
like kind of kind of got the right matchups, kind
of did whatever. To their credit win the Western Conference Finals.

(01:55:25):
But like it'd be one thing if if you know,
this was like a STEPH Warriors in their prime and
you know, like, hey, we need a miracle to get
past them. Let's shake things up. But you were in
the Western Conference Finals, you beat the defending NBA champs,
and I just don't like blowing it up kind of
for the sake of blowing it up, which is what

(01:55:47):
I kind of feel like the Timberwolves did where it's
like I don't know, I just felt like you had
a size advantage with those big guys. You were a
step away from the from the NBA Finals. I just
I really don't like it, Jmart, I just really don't.

Speaker 4 (01:56:02):
I think it is just that what Karl Anthony Towns
was going to require. I think now Anthony Edwards is
gonna need about forty one million dollars more if I
read it correctly, because of what he was able to
do this past year. I agree with you in the
short term, it didn't feel like you needed to make
a move this grand when you were that close. And

(01:56:24):
to your point, I still like Denver more than I
like Dallas long term, just in the West, and we
can make an argument for some other teams going forward
as well. But I do think this is I feel
like this is part of a larger plan for Minnesota.
But there is something to be said for this whole
ownership deal. It looks like a Rod and that side

(01:56:45):
are probably gonna end up winning it. But there's there's
a lot of flux going on in that organization. A
lot of it has to do with money and things
over the next couple of years. So I guess I
get it from that standpoint. I fail to see how
this makes them a better team. But you do have
another guy, DiVincenzo average fifteen points last year. He's a

(01:57:06):
hard nosed, tough guy, and so I mean, you're still
gonna have physicality. It's not like Randalls, you know, a
ballerina or anything out there. It's just if he's healthy
he could help you. But it's just a different makeup.
It's totally different. It's clearly Anthony Edwards team.

Speaker 2 (01:57:23):
Clearly Anthony Edwards team. And I guess, yeah, I guess
there's salary cap stuff. I just, you know, I just
felt like they were so close. And now we'll see
what happens. By the way, we have victory formation in
Salt Lake City. The Arizona Wildcats started the season ranked,
got smoked by Kansas State two weeks ago, go to

(01:57:45):
Utah and pick up a twenty three to ten win.
So the Big Twelve very much up in the air
right now. Utah falls, can't there were How about this,
J Martin? There were five teams in the Big twelve
ranked in the preseason. It is not not the end
of September yet all five of those teams have at

(01:58:05):
least one loss. The only undefeated teams left in the
Big twelve going into October are byu Iowa State.

Speaker 3 (01:58:16):
That's it, that's issue.

Speaker 4 (01:58:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:58:20):
No, I'll tell you what. Two and oh the Colorado Buffaloes.
I'm not saying, but they have looked good the last
couple of weeks.

Speaker 4 (01:58:26):
So I mean, right now, is is Milroe the Heisman
I mean he's got to be close, right. I understand
cam Ward, but I mean Miami. We didn't get to
talk about that finish. But I mean cam Ward, he's
still looking good. But Carson Beck, I think is probably
out of the running. Maybe you're right about Hunter. Hunter
might be able to skip back into it at this point.

Speaker 2 (01:58:47):
Yeah, Travis Center. By the way, a down day with
only nine catches for eighty nine yards plus an interception.
Tell you what, Jay Bart, we got to get out
of here. Want to thank the crew. Alex Tye shirt
