Speaker 1 (00:00):
Texas State go toe to toe with Arizona State. In fact,
the Bobcats were actually, if the truth were known, were
actually a betting line favorite of a point and a half.
So anybody who they saw, why, they saw what a
good team that GJ. Kinney has put together, and they
(00:20):
saw that they had a real opportunity to win the
football game. It got away from them late, some late
turnovers and Arizona State was able to capitalize and turn
it into one field goal, and that was the difference
in margin victory, thirty one to twenty eight after Texas
State had held the twenty one to seven lead in
the second quarter in twenty eight twenty one late third.
(00:42):
But they played them toe to toe. It's a good team.
So maybe maybe as a result of that, we have
a little better understanding of how they were able to
absolutely blow the doors off of UTSA last Saturday. The
game was in San Marcos. They had never beaten UTSA.
They were all fired up for it, and they went
on hog and uh and took advantage of mistakes and
(01:04):
UTSA did not take advantage of mistakes early in the game,
and uh, Texas State, you know, was able to take
full advantage of that. Okay. So as a result of that,
now they played Texas, and I understand what all the
numbers say, what the Football Power Index says, it's like
a ninety nine point eight percent chance of victory for Texas.
(01:30):
What are they thirty and a half point favorites or
something like that if you're paying attention to the to
the betting lines, for those who do that, something like that.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's for for Saturday's game. Yeah, for the Morrow night's game,
I think it was thirty four and a half and
may have gone up to thirty.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Five, my goodness. Okay Texas.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
By the way, for those of you wondering, want to
know against the spread when favored by thirty points some
more of this season?
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Okay, So I chuckle because people know me, know that
I scarcely and rarely pay attention to thirty five and
a half? Is it thirty five that I scarcely and
rarely pay attention to the To to what the boys
(02:16):
in the desert, as Brent Musburger would say, our friends
in the desert, they're what they're saying in terms of
the light. Now they know things, and that's that's fine
and all that. But I will I'll tell you. You know,
I've had two or three people say to me, and
(02:38):
I heard one of the long worn players I'm trying
to remember who it was this week say that this
is only a trap game if we allow it to be.
And Arizona State said the same thing last night, which
is really weird because again Texas State was actually favored
by a point and a half, but they were playing
(02:58):
a power four team, although that was a powerful team
that was picked to finish last in the Big Twelve Conference.
But it was the guy who shares your first name,
Cameron cam Scataboo. That's one of the great names in
college football, I think, isn't it. Yeah, Cam Scataboo, the
running back. And as I said in the first hour
of the program, I was spotting for the Arizona State
(03:21):
broadcast last night because Tim Heey's an old friend of
mining the play by play voice, and Jeff Rant Jeff
Van Raphorst, his color analyst who was the hero of
Arizona States Rose Bowl win in nineteen eighty six. He's
the analyst, he said, Cam Scataboo said, or as he said,
what do you call him? Scat scatt said, this is
(03:45):
only a trap game if we allow it to be
that kind of thing, which is weird again to say
something could be a trap game when you're a point
and a half underdog. According to the guys and by
the way, the fellas in the Desert, anybody was laying
the points took the hit last night if they were
(04:05):
betting on Texas State to cover, because there was on
a state won the game out right, and you know,
so that's that's how those things go. But as we
also know from the folks in the Desert, what they're
looking for is just action on both sides. Because a
we're getting equal play on both sides. They're going to
make a lot of money. Yeah, they'll lose money on
the one thing, but they're gonna make a lot of
money on the other side. That's how that works. But
(04:27):
the long wordes understand this is and Sart talked about
it a maturity week and we heard that in the
first hour of the program with the with the segment
from last night's Longhorn Weekly with Sark that we reaired.
We do that every Friday when we bring you a
segment from the show from the night before the show
(04:49):
airing of the night before, because we bring you the
opponent segment where he's breaking down the opponent, talking about
the opponent. That's what we did. And again he used
the word maturity, sturity thing. So we'll find out if
and and to the level of maturity. And this gets
into kind of the matchup stuff. Uh, it's can you
(05:10):
have the maturity of the offensive line to do its
job to get the push up front from Calvin Banks
and Hayden Connor and Jake Majors and DJ Campbell who
will obviously rotate. We heard sark from the mediavailable yesterday say,
you know a comment on DJ Campbell and Cole Hudson,
(05:31):
uh rotating at right guard and Cam Williams at right tackle.
And as Sarkus said, you know, when you have the
conversation with a player who had the kind of start
to the game that Cam Williams had last Saturday to
false starts, call false start calls in a holding penalty,
(05:51):
then you know it's it's about picking up picking up
your game. So that's a maturity thing. Gunner Helm is
seeing the flush of individual success really and truly for
the first time in his collegiate career. Called a couple
of touchdown passes last year, won against Oklahoma, won against
(06:14):
Iowa State. But he's been a factor so far this season.
He's caught nine passes for one hundred and forty yards
and had the first touchdown against Michigan last week. So
he's doing a heck of a job excuse me there.
And so for him it's about accepting the success level
(06:38):
and going forward and not let it play on him.
Same story with the Whiteouts, Matthew Golden, Isaiah Bond, Ryan Wingo,
a true freshman who had that great speed suite in
the round for fifty five yards. DeAndre Moore still trying
(06:59):
to get his first catch. Thought he he thought he
had his first catch. We all thought it was and
that it was a touchdown. I got wiped out with
a holding call in the first quarter. John Tay Cook
the rest of that Ryan Nibblett. As he continues to
get more comfortable between the offense, between the running back
and wide receiver spot, and the maturity thing also goes
(07:19):
to Quinn viewers, not whether he's mature enough to handle that.
We know that's the case. It's not that it's keeping
the other guys focused and drawn in, and that's what
this whole week has been about. You know, coaches quite
often say the Hayes in the barn by Wednesday Thursday,
and then if they're not ready to go, then then
(07:39):
that's that. Vince Lombardi even used to say that the
work had been put in during the week and then
you let the game take care of itself. Well, I
put that question to Sark a couple of weeks ago,
and he laughed about it, and he said, I don't
roll that way. He said, I'm constantly tinkering and trying
to tweak in midstream while the game's going on. Let's
let's let's just this, let's tweak that, Let's see what
(08:02):
we can do. So, you know, that's that, and that'll
be ongoing. The maturity on the defensive side runs to
you know, can they get the kind of pass rush
on owen McCowen that they've been wanting to get tray More.
It's a completely different kind of maturity for him. He's
going up against his former school, he's going up against
(08:24):
his former teammates, he's going up against friends. Does he
have the maturity to dial in and do his job
as he has done in the first two weeks and
under some different circumstances be able to do that same
thing with the linebacking cor can they continue to be
a factor and the secondary which has been rock solid
early on, Joddy Barron, Andrew mccobaugh, Derek Williams, they've all
(08:49):
had interceptions. Can they continue to be ballhawks? Jalen Gilbo.
The maturity of being able to play regularly after dealing
with constant injury a season ago. Can he get to
that point? Emily muhammat can he continue to progress? So
(09:09):
all of those things are part of that whole maturity
thing when you're talking about matching up against UTSA. Now again,
we'll take a closer look at the road RMS, and
we're also going to have our DJC law injury update
coming up, and you know how they match between It's
(09:32):
that's the important thing. How they can you know, play
at amateur level on a hot night. I mean, right
now they're saying it's going to be probably ninety five
at kickoff, ninety five at kickoff. The high tomorrow will
be upper nineties, could even possibly scratch one hundred, but
(09:55):
definitely ninety eight ninety nine. It's gonna be hot. And
then a kickoff at six o'clock, it's dropped to ninety five,
and then we're told by halftime, when the sun has
gone down, it'll cool off. It'll be down to eighty eight,
eighty nine something like that by the time they get
to have time. So and it makes me chuckle to
(10:17):
think about this because I understand, I completely get it.
Trust me, I understand and believe and have full understanding
of when Loggorn fans when the schedule first comes out
of kickoff times and we all saw that the Colorado
State game is going to be two thirty. All the
moaning and the wailing and gnashing and teeth that was
(10:38):
going over the it's the heat of the day. It's
gonna be brutal. It's gonna be hot. It was hot,
but we'd come through that little cold cooler spell. It
was ninety at kickoff. You know, here it is two
weeks later. We're in mid September, and it's going to
be right at if not just shy of, if not
right at triple digits. And it might be that way
(10:59):
in that next week. Hopefully not for you, Almanroe. But
we've seen how the weather can be in this town
in September and into October. It can still be upper nineties,
close to one hundred degrees, so it's just something we're
used to. Fortunately, the next two games are night games,
so we know that for a fact. Don't know yet
the start time on the Mississippi State, but we know
(11:21):
the other two or night games, so that's a good thing,
all right. Coming up, we'll bring you our DJC law
injury updates and a closer look at the UTSA roadrunners.
Of course, our game coverage starts tomorrow morning afternoon, excuse me,
at three o'clock from over on Beva Boulevard at the
(11:42):
hook them hangout there in the winship circle area where
Cam will be joined by Mike Hardball Harg and of
course Mark Henry, the world's strongest man. So they come
your way through it. Did you guys get to trainy
food items and stuff, because there's a bunch of that
Mark kept talking about he couldn't wait sample the food
did so two weeks ago? Two weeks ago, did you
(12:03):
guys get a chance to do that for the open?
Speaker 2 (12:05):
So Khlil Randall, who is the producer of the morning
kickoff with Harge and Mark Henry, and he's down there
on BiVO Boulevard helping us out with social media. He
actually went and got two Fletcher corn dogs from Mark
Henry Mark gentle Enough gave me one and I was
reminded how good Fletcher's corny dogs are. And I just
I just can't wait for the Texas State Fair.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
You know, I won every year at the Texas Hou
game in the broadcast booth. Normally for the past fevere
years it's been for breakfast.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Same yeah, I mean it's eleven am kickoff.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, you're right, but now it's two thirty this year
breakfast and lunch. Yeah, there you go. It can work
out both ways. All right, We'll take a closer look
at UTSA and bring here our DJC law injury update
when we continue right here on Sports Radio AM thirteen
under the Zone, and where you can always listen to
us for free right here on the iHeartRadio app.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
It's for for Saturday's game. Yeah, for the Morrow night's game,
I think it was thirty four and a half and
may have gone up to thirty.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Five, my goodness. Okay Texas.
