Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hello, Welcome in Side hour two The Jason Smith Show
with Monsey Belanos in for Harmon. Harmon's off tonight, sorting
his baseball cards. Four and a half to go in
the fourth quarter, Miami holds a twenty four to nineteen
lead over Ole miss Ole, miss Driving. They are approaching
(00:49):
midfield but facing a big third and eight. Their nineteen
seventeen lead was short lived thanks to Malachi Tony and
I gotta be honest. I love Dante Moore Blank that man.
I want the NFL to change the rules so the
Jets can draft a seventeen year old kid at number
two overall. He is unbelievable. He catches a short pass
(01:12):
right off the snap, takes it thirty six yards for
a touchdown. You just played it in your update. There's
no play that he can't make. Right, I feel like
we've been blessed with a couple of guys two years
in a row. You know, he's only seventeen years old, right,
like Ryan Williams Alabati. You know, he's only seventeen. You
know at Malachai Toni's saying thing seventeen. He does so
much with the football. He's so incredibly exciting, Like he's
(01:34):
somebody that I can see because he's you know, he
hits the radar screen early and still a couple of
more years where depending on the year he had another
couple of years, like next year is supposed to be
a great quarterback year, and then the year after that,
Like it wouldn't surprise me if there's not a big
quarterback to be taken in two years when he's probably
(01:55):
coming that he could be the number one pick in
the draft. He is that exciting, He is that good.
I mean his escapability. Yeah, he wh is just next level.
And again there is something to be said. I know
here they got Yes, he's only seventeen and he's this good.
He is absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, Trinidad Chambliss just escaped.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
As you were talking about that, and I don't know
if you saw the face of Mario Crystoball he was
about to have an aneurysm because they called a pass interference.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
That could be like Crystal Ball's like seventh aneurysm. Tonight
He's not only had one, he's out a few.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I had a few.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
That one was another winer because they called the past
interference after you said it was a long thirty eight
I think, is what when you were mentioning that play
and they called past interference. So the Rebels just did
get into hurricane territory and in fact, now they're approaching
the red zone and there's plenty of time left. But yeah,
that play by malkay TONI was just you could hear
it in the guys calling the game.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
How excite that That just gives so much excitement.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Because there hasn't been a lot of excitement, but there
is excitement right now for the rebels.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Uh Trinidad Chambliss has all miss in the end zone.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Can say about the fourth question, I know, I know,
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
No, what did I tell you about not still talking
about points on the board because I like the under
Now we're we're one more score away from the over
being hit. The over actually I said fifty one and
a half. It went off at fifty two.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And a half, fifty two and a half, twenty.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Twenty five, twenty four.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And now you know they're gonna go for two to
make it a field goal game because he doesn't do
any good to go up by two. So you look
at it could be a twenty seven to twenty four game.
One more score in the final three minutes, and suddenly
the overhits, and it's your fault. It's because you put
it out there last hour.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
You put it out I.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Think you should blame Miami's defense for allowing this time.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
No, I blame Miami's defense.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Is fine until you decided all these things could happen.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, I said, Chabalis gets hot. He gets hot in
the fourth quarter, and.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
That's exactly a two point conversion, successful successful revels up
by three.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, it's your fault. It's your fault. So now the
the the under is just it's just here now at.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Fifteen number eight, happening right now from ye crystal.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Ball is like, yeah, and all I think if I
think of NoHo Hank from from Bowery cristal ball.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Wast crystal ball. We have crystal ball. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, he has not been happy. He has been Alternately,
he has lived every emotion in this game. Right Like
we're gonna we're gonna talk about Kurtz Signetty coming up
later on in the show, and how he said today
at his press conference head coach of Indiana, I gotta
be the same guy the entire time.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
I can'tch a lot of America.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, no, no, no no. He's got his arms up
in the air, high five. And when Big plays, then
when he's mad, he looks like you see it. He
looks like your dad when you like take the car
without permission and come back at three in the morning and.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Like did his eyes twitching.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
You're just like, oh wow, this is this is bad man.
What I did was really bad. Yes, this is really
That's what he looks like.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
That's what he looks like, because he's like, I can't
believe we let this team stay in it for this long.
It was only a matter of time before Chambliss started
hitting those throws. Because it's not like he hasn't done this,
you know what I mean. So it's like it was
only a matter of time, you.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Know, and and the and the thing is is, like
I say, seeing this game, how it was gonna go
when I picked Miami to win again with the under,
and now if Miami wins, it's gonna be the over.
So I'm either gonna be right about the under or
I'm gonna get it. So like what do I want?
I want to be right about the game. So but
the thing is is that to think about this, I
thought this game would go where slowly Miami's defense would
(05:22):
take over and the fourth quarter would be play after
play of Chamblis scrambling trying to find space, not being
able to get it, and the Hurricane defense just pouring
it on. And instead it's become a game where for
both teams the fourth quarter because the defense have played
so well for three quarters. You see that once in
a while in big games, when the pressure is off
and guys go out there to play and the defense
(05:42):
gets gassed, you start seeing big chunk yardage plays for
no reason, Like why are we seeing a chunk yard
We haven't seen one chunk yards play for three and
a half court. Now we're getting it now, Like that's
what we've been seeing so far in the fourth quarter.
So I thought, Hey, this is gonna be the opposite way,
and Miami's defense is gonna shut things down in the
fourth quarter, and instead it's now the offense has to
has to pull it out for Miami here in the
(06:02):
fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, and I don't know again, I don't know if
they can.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Carson Beck to me, is just a little bit too
inconsistent to trust him in this situation. He just I
don't know if it was a miscommunication in that throw,
but it didn't look good for Miami, and you're probably right.
I think the defense might be a little bit tired
right now. And this is not this is not what
either team wants in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
No, I mean that play should have been a touchdown
like he had he had received streaking open and he
just threw it short short.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
It looks short, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Like it was a thirty yard pass downfield and it's
where where's why is that football five feet behind me?
And you see he puts his hands on his head
and says, oh, my goodness.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Which is why we watch a missed opportunity miscommunication because
of how he reacted to where he was like, oh,
you know, but yeah, it seemed like he had a
he had him to go yeah downfield, and then it
was a little short.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now, I will say this about Carson Beck in that
he has been the the like if you look up, hey,
what's the dictionary definition of a game manager at quarterback?
Like he has been game managing his way all season long, right, because.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
That's kind of what is.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Beck was really good at Georgia obviously moving around now
going to Miami hitting it there because he was never
really the dynamic player that we thought he was gonna be.
But he has game managed, you know, pretty well, and
watching him especially tonight, like this is something Eli Manning
never really got enough credit for with the Giants, is
that Eli Manning was a guy that always one of
(07:21):
the things he did his big superpower was always whatever
the formation was, he would get the Giants in the
right formation, take the play clock down, and knew where
to go with the football right away. And that's a
big deal when you know, Okay, they look like they're
gonna do this, we have to get into this formation.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
This is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Carson Beck has done that so much tonight, making sure
Miami's in the right formation, seeing what's out there, calling
for motion moving guys around. Like even that touchdown pass
to Tony. Hey sees what's happening, you know, gives Tony
the nod to come in motion. So you know that's
one of those plays where it's not set from to
come in motion. It's if I give you the nod,
it's because I see something in you come in motion.
(07:58):
He gives Tony the nod, He comes in and gives
them the ball, like he's done that. He's done a
great job on that tonight. But now you've got to
get to a point where Okay, that's great, but now
you got to get downfield in the final couple of minutes.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I know, I said that, like he's inconsistent on the
offense for me, whenever I watch Miami this season, but
they haven't it's it's not like they've won in spite
of him. I agree with you. I think he's done
a really good job with Miami this year, and I
don't know if they would win without him. They need him,
even though he is a game manager.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
He does so much for them.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
It's just like when he has like a really good game,
it's like, I just don't know what I'm gonna see
that offense. That offense again from Carson Beck. Yeah, because
he is a game manager and he has moments. He
has moments, but they have definitely he is not hindering them.
Because sometimes I feel like we use game managers like
a negative thing, right, like somebody we always use it,
(08:47):
always a negative.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
But I don't always think it is, like I truly
with him, it's not. I don't think it is with
Jalen Hurts, Like.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
There are certain game managers that you're winning with them
and because of them, not in spite of them.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Well, and especially coming last year your Miami Y're saying, Okay,
well we just had the number one pick in the draft.
We just lost a guy, but we're still uber talented.
If we don't think we quite have the next star quarterback,
five star recruit coming into the U, what do we do. Now,
Let's go get Carson Beck, who has been through the wars,
he started forty games in college football. I'm pretty sure
(09:19):
he can come in and master the playbook and get
everything going and get our team to where it needs
to be. Now, maybe he's not doesn't have the quite
have the ceiling, not another guy would have. But he's
someone I know that there will be no growing pains.
We're not going to lose games early and have to
worry about someone growing into the role because we don't
want to give a year away that we're coming off
of we're building a lot of momentum, because that hurts recruiting,
(09:39):
it hurts everything. So bring him in obviously the right
call because there on the playoff, in the semi final,
two minutes away potentially from the championship game.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
So it works.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
But at this at the same time, now it's okay,
this is where you got to bring that little bit
something extra to the party, right, doing a great job
most of the night tonight again getting guys in the
right formation moving. But this has been a team that
you know, at some point uarterback's gotta go win a
game for you at some point, not every week, not
every week, and you expect a guy to go out
and slinging. But once in a while I was like, hey,
need you something here. They can't run the sledge hammer
(10:10):
ground game anymore. With two minutes to go down by three,
They can't keep running the short passes to Malachai Tony
because now they're down, they need to be able to
get downfield and he's gotta be dynamic, and he's got
two minutes to get Miami down there, because that's we're
at right now with the two minute warning, Miami driving.
They still have the ball on their side of the field,
down by three to ole Miss.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It's gonna be a tall task to ask Carson beck
to do that. I think he has it in him.
I think he has it in him.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
It's just like, you can't expect him to do it
every game, but I think he has it in him
to get you at least in a position to tie
the game.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Okay, so now let me ask you this now the
big question obviously, as we sit here in Paul's two
minute warning, is Lane Kiffin watching this game going come on, guys,
two matches defense? Or is he saying, come on, Carson
doing the U Come on, Carson, get down there.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Win this game.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
I'm telling you he's shearing for the Hurricanes, hoping Carson
Beck Beck puts some in a position to win because.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
He can't have the Rebels go to the championship without him.
He can't.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
He wanted that would be such a terrible, you know,
strike to his ego because he has to be right.
What I left to go win a championship. This team
you left is literally in the championship without you.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I mean, think about the optic and the story that
I left a team that I brought as far as
I thought we could go to go someplace bigger to
win a national championship where I have to start over,
got to bring my players in, my staff, everything, got
to play a whole season, and they're expecting the playoff
right in a national title right away? Right, So that
(11:40):
was But instead the team I left two games later,
it's gonna play for the Nationals.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Yeah, yeah, idiot, idiot.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
That's such an awful there's that's such an awful optic
for Lane Kiffin, and it really makes you It really
makes you wonder if he really thought that Ole Miss
could get there, right, because if you if LSU really
wanted him and he said, with a handshake, deal, listen,
I'll go, but I'm going at the end of the playoff. Yeah,
(12:09):
it gets to a point where it's difficult because you
are in a situation of we gotta have a coach
at some point, and if you're playing till the middle
of January with a transfer portal hitting and and you know, look,
this week has been all about the transferportal. We kind
of need somebody else, but you know still, I mean,
you gotta wonder, man, I could be losing my my
biggest shot at the championship. Now I gotta go build
(12:31):
everything from scratch at LSU and try to figure it out.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
I don't think he thought ole Miss could get there,
like really get there.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I don't think so. And that's why he was okay
with walking out the way he did it.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Really, I mean, he's gotta be He's got to be
a glass case of emotions like now, like Rod Bergen,
I tell you he's cheering every play. If it's a
completed passer Miami, he's cheering it. If it's an incomplete pass,
he's cheering it. He's doing all of He's cheering both sides,
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
He seems like a type that would throw something at
the wall, like his drink. Yeah, yeah, sure, I'm saying.
The minute the rebels toick the lead, I can already
see he threw his drink to the wall.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I can see like I picture him being like all
the gifts you have that are on there of people
just ripping their televisions off the wall and throwing him
out the window. Or my new favorites of the guys
that are punching their TVs and break them, you know,
and they see a play that doesn't go right, they
just punch their TV and break it.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I've told you how much I just want to destroy
a car. Like punching the TV also sounds great?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah, like right through it you can see all the
color and it just smash in front of you.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Yeah, you want to go in a rage room?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I do want to go in am you talked about it?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
You a rage room with it? With a Clipper colored car?
Cr Well, I mean the Clippers are your team.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Right, But I don't want to destroy a Clipper car.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Got it?
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Well?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
No, I mean just painted the Clippers' colors.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
No, I would rather destroy a Nick car.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Why because what happened last night?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Because you couldn't do it on the court, so you
have to do it. Yeah, you couldn't do it then.
So where we sit right now? Twenty seven, twenty four
Miami driving the ruling on the field is a completed
pass to Tony on the sideline. They are looking at
it to see if he got one foot down. If
(14:07):
he does have one foot down, he makes this catch.
This is one of the greatest catches you'll ever see
in college football. It's not a completed catch. He reaches
back behind him where Carson beck a play where he
just tries to keep the play alive, and he fades
back to pass and he's all over the place. And
he throws it to the sideline and reaches like Spider
(14:28):
Man like, reaches all the way back with one hand,
pulls it in. But it looks like the back half
of his foot came down out of bounds. So it's
gonna be third and six from Miami here about a
minute twenty six left to go. Obviously two down territory
for the Hurricanes.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But they're right there. They're right there in field goal range.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Oh, I wish they would have caught. They would have
kind of that, I know, Okay, for the sake of football.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That was a catch. Yeah, they are on the cusp
of field goal range. They are three, three or four
yards away from field goal range. But listen is as
Pete Futek, who's gonna join us after this game, likes
to say college kickers, college kickers.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
College college.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, but you're not putting Cameron Dicker out there and
guys that can you know, Hey, we're good from fifty
all the time, like college kickers. Colle you've already seen
missus and guys hitting the upright tonight college kickers. But
it looks like Miami did get the first down. Yes,
Daniels catches the ball at the sticks and reaches out
(15:29):
past the first down marker. It is a first and
ten for Miami with about a minute ten left to go. Again,
a field goal ties it. A touchdown would most likely
give them the win. Again now they are fully in
field goal range. We'll have more on this game coming
up next. Are we talking about overtime? Are we talking
about oh miss without lane kiffing the title? Are we
(15:51):
talking about Michael Irvin dancing in the middle of the field?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Take What are we gonna see?
Speaker 1 (15:57):
We'll find out coming up next, right here, Jason Smith

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Carson Touchdown Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon, Moncia Belangos in for Harmon and Well good news,
bad news, Bad news?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Is the over?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
His?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yes, I love the under, loved it. I said, if
you put the under a twenty nine and a half,
I'm taking the under.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Don't have it. The over has hit.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
However, as long as this score holds in the final
eighteen seconds tickoff, as we think they are, the Miami
Hurricanes are headed to the National Championship Game. Carson Beck,
on second in goal from the eight yard line, scrambles
in for the touchdown to give Miami the lead. The
(17:28):
kickoff is coming. Here's what it sounded like just moments ago.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Beck holds his hands out, takes drops, look to the right, looked,
you can.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Be you got cursent back to the heads out Hey
rent it in over the left side, Carson Back takes
it in for Miami touchdown.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Miami touchdown for Carson Beck. Is that the winning moment?
He's a three yard touchdown.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Miami Radio Network on the call, we talked about Carson
Beck having to do it because we said, look, your
quarterback's gotta do it at some point for you, you
need at least one play.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Well, he got it, so Miami with the lead.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
However, there is still a little bit of something something
to happen. Eighteen seconds left on the kickoff. Ole Miss
gets the football and Trinidad Chambliss throws a laser to midfield.
They run up and spike it. Eleven seconds left. They
need to get in the end zone, but they are
now at least in Hail Mary territory or at least
(18:31):
one play away. They do have a timeout left. They
are one play away for potentially least having a play
into the end zone that could win this game. So
it's gonna be a second and ten four. Ole Miss
their own forty eight yard light again. They gotta get
in the end zone at thirty one to twenty seven
because you know the over is it and they are
going to have at least one play into the end zone.
They call their final time out with five seconds left
(18:54):
to go. Chambliss throws over the middle, Stribbling comes down
with the ball. They now will have it potentially one
play maybe too if you throw a quick out. But
they have the ball right now at about the thirty
yard line of Miami. In two plays they have gotten
down within striking distance. They are one play away from
getting into the end zone. This is the big thing.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
They did put one more second back on the clock,
six seconds left, So if you are ole Miss and
you see some soft coverage, you could run a quick out,
get yourself maybe seven or eight yards, and then you
have your final play at the end zone.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I can't believe where they're at right now. You just
described all that perfectly.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Also, what you said about Carson Beck before he got
them in the end zone was everything that Miami wants
in him.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
He reads the field.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Well.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
It's like he may not throw the best lasers like
Trinidad Chambliss, but that was him assessing the field and
realizing I have a straight line to the end zone.
He didn't worry about it, he didn't stress about it,
he didn't got in there.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
He was really calm in the Chris. Wasn't a play
where all of a sudden he was running around. This
was I didn't say. I went through my progressions and
the left side of the field was wide open. He's hot,
basically high stepping into the end zone for the touchdown
to go ahead.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Everything you had just said about Carson Beck literally, that's
what he did right now puts them up. And I
cannot believe Trinidad Chambliss already has the rebels where they
are on the field right now, giving them an actual chance.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, two big plays by Chambliss into the middle of
the field, and you know, look, taking advantage.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
This is thing.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Knowing that, hey it's eighteen seconds, but you have a
couple of timeouts, golong to the middle of the field.
They're gonna They're gonna roll their coverage to the sideline.
Obviously you can do that. Certain teams still get scared.
I still gotta throw out of bounds. No, get a
big chunky yards, get thirty yards down to the middle
of the field, get another twenty yards or so, and
that's where they are. Miami has just taken their last
time out of the game. Both teams out of timeouts,
(20:49):
so it's gonna be first down on Miami's thirty five
yard line with six seconds left to go thirty five
yards a lot. I would not be surprised to see again.
I wouldn't to see them run like like a Trip's
left situation or trips right, and we're gonna throw it out.
Get close to the twenty five yard line. Then it's
a little more manageable because now you're still just you're
you're kind of chucking it up, even though even though
(21:10):
at least you're in a little bit more than than
Hail Mary range.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Right now, I feel like Trinidad Chambaliss is like living
for this moment.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Yeah, like this is a bit.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
This is it.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
He's like, I don't know if I'm gonna play again
next year. I don't know if is gonna give me
one more year.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I would have held out before this play saying, hey,
you can extra year or I am not signing.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
The final pass by Trinidad Chambliss to the end zone
is incomplete. Ole Miss is looking for a flag. They
do not get it. Miami is celebrating. Crystal Ball is
walking across the field with his hand in the air.
The Miami Hurricanes are headed to the National Championship Game,
beating Ole Miss thirty one twenty seven. The final play,
(21:55):
Chambless is flushed out of the pocket, rolls left throw
to the end zone. I'm still waiting for a replay again.
The Ole Miss receiver was, you know, put his hand
up for a flag right away. I mean, why wouldn't
you because it's the last play of the game. Uh,
and it was not thrown. There is a little bit
of contact. There is a lot of Wow, odd lot,
that's a lot of contact down He had the front
(22:19):
of Stribbling's jersey from the two yard line into the
back of the end zone. That's a pass interference call
that has missed. But the official, being where he is
probably couldn't see it because you're on the side and
you don't see the front of the player's jersey. But
he had a hold of his jersey from about the
two yard line to about eight yards deep in the
(22:42):
end zone. He had a hold of that jersey for
eight yards. Now, you could say, hey, makeup call because
of the big targeting call that was bad. That helped
give Ole Miss a field goal. But wow, that was
that's past interference for about eight yards that he would
that they got away with on that final play.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
For a second, look like Trinidad. Chambliss started celebrating because.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
He was like, oh, pass interference, and then they didn't
call it and he couldn't believe it. But it looked
like he was already starting to skip down the field
because he thought they were going to call it pass interference,
which it was past interference.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
That that is not the way you want to end.
That is not the way.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Congratulations yes to Miami and to Lane Kiffin, but that
is not how you want to end.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
The thing is this now to think about a penalty
like this when you think about him, because this is
a pass to the back of the end zone. Right then,
Miami had two guys on the goal line. They had
two defensive backs on the goal line. They were playing
this where hey, they have to go to the end
zone here with six seconds left to go. You see
Hail Mary plays all the time, and if you get
to see replays of it close up, you see pass
(23:49):
interference all the time. But it's impossible to call on
plays like that when it's so physical and everything is
close to each other and the ball is thrown up there.
This was not quite that because this was a pass
to the back of the en end zone with with
with a little bit of one on one coverage and
even though the one official is behind is on the sideline,
so he doesn't see where the where the DB's hand is. Like,
(24:10):
that's something that's gotta be seen by someone. And again
he had a hold of his jersey for eight yards. Yeah,
like this wasn't I had it for a couple of
yards and I let go in the end zone and
they don't call it. That's you know what that's called.
That's being a great defensive back. This was I'm just
holding the yoke of his jersey the oak of his
shoulder pads for about eight yards and and shutting that
(24:30):
down Like that should have been a flag.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
It should have been another play for ole Miss.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
But then at the same time, it's like, do you
call that here? Do you call it in this moment?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
If you're if, if you're Miami, you say, damn skippy,
you call it because you threw a flag on us
in the two thousand and one National title game against
Ohio State that gave them the National Championship game, So
you damn skippy, better give us something new right here?
You better make sure we get to get it even
right here? Uh so I get Look it's a crazy
end and and and this play is going to be
(25:02):
debated here a miscall The thing is looking at that play,
I don't like. Now that's a flag, right, obviously it's
a flag.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Is it egregious?
Speaker 5 (25:11):
I don't know that. Yeah, it's well yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Right no, And in slow motion it did. But if
we if in real time, how did it look? I
feel like if it looked egregious in real time? I
only saw the slow motion of it and it was
very clear as day.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
But in real time, it's like, was it egregious? Do
you make that call?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
What?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Just happened? Rams against two? Why am I blinking?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Yeah yeah passive? That was not called?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
And it's like you don't call that there, right, because
you don't call But here it's like, do you call
it here?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Was it egregious?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
I don't know?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
But that was bad?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
That was bad.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
The one thing that I could say, because you never
want a game to end on a play like this, right,
and should a penalty you have been called? Yeah, a
penalty should have been called on that right, that, and
it should have been another play for ole Miss. Whatever
you want to call. You want to call pass interference,
you want to call it should have been. It should
have been another play. It should actually happened. But the
thing is, and this is, this is what I get
to is that even if he doesn't have a hold
(26:07):
of his jersey, he didn't really impede his progress into
the end zone.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
He didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It didn't really stop him from catching the ball. So
even let's just say the play unfolds that way and
he and he just got his hand, you know, not
with the whole of his jersey, I don't know that
that changes the outcome of the play. I don't think
Stribbling is able to go up and get the ball
at that point because the ball it's literally right in
the corner.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
It was like going out already. Yeah, it was a
hard catch.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
While it should have been a flag, right, because it
is both things can be true. It should have been
a flag, and it might now it would have been
one more play for ole Miss. Surely you know you're
closer and you potentially get a touchdown, But at the
same time, like that play, I don't think that would
have been a touchdown catch, even if he didn't have
his hand off it. So, you know, you always want
to finish a game like this and say, boy, hey
(26:55):
the you know, you never want to say the referees
blew it. They took the game away one hundred percent.
You want to be able to say, hey, that penalty
was was you know that that should have been called
and it wasn't. But at the same time, I don't
know that they would have caught the ball anyway. Like
That's kind of where I'm at with it, because both
things can be true for a play like that.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I'm with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
That sounds like I don't know because it looked bad
in this motion, but yeah, it's it's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
I don't care. I don't I'm not a fan of
either team, so I'm over here. He's just you know, Switzerland,
Like I'm chilling.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
That's okay.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
You know, if I was a Rebels fan, I would
be very mad.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Well, of course you are, yeah, of course, living you
want to fly.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
That throw, like you said, was a little bit deep.
It was really going almost out of the end zone.
He would have had to have done a miraculous catch there,
which you know, we've seen, sure, we've seen, but now.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
There is there is some hand fighting on this thing.
Is Stribley Scott is his left arm out. That looked
like hand fighting as well. So maybe that's what what
pushed the referees.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
You know, it's yard out of the end zone.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It's like if if if you're hanging out with somebody,
you're at a bar and someone kind of grabs you
and he turned around and go, hey what get your
hands off? But you can diffuse that situation if someone
grabs you and holds onto you for eight yards.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Okay, something's got to happen.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Something going down that.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Can't happen, that can't happen.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Yeah, that was rough. That was rough. But hey, the
you goes on.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
You goes on, and I want to say you look
not that it's something you want to bring up all
the time. But in our college football playoff pool we
have going on here with listeners and everybody else who
has two thumbs and Miami and the National Championship game.
Speaker 5 (28:35):

I'd be happy for you.

Speaker 6 (33:58):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, well Karen Sharp did love songs on the Coast
ellen K. Ellen K have to think she helped give
me my starting radio. Really, I owe ellen K more
than than anybody in the world for introducing me to
the right people and getting me a chance to start
filling it in radio. I owe ellen K so much
it's it's not even funny.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Ellen K is on Coast Now songs. Yes, but I
know she was from like Kiss a fam with Ryan Seacrest.
I feel like that's why I used to listen to her.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Oh wow, so because you're younger than me, Like, well
she was on with Rick D's for a long time.
Speaker 5 (34:32):
And the Weekly Top.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Forties, and then she sets you up for the success
that you have now.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Yes, I owe ellen Case. I can't.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I can't tell you like I look it up. I'm
a firm believer that you know at some point, when
you do something for a career, you get a break.
But you have to realize when that break is and
and kick the door down like that was my break,
ellen K getting to introduce me to two people and
say and help me get a chance start filling in
and doing stuff like ellen K? Was it?
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Ellen Ellen? I mean I owe her, so I can't
even tell you shut out ellen K. Ellen Kay was
so much fun to work with.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
If it wasn't for, it'd be you and harmon. Okay, yeah, okay,
you know, I feel like it would be completely different.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
But you'd be here with Alex Tischer and you'd be
You'd be You'd be talking about food and why food
is more important than sports.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
That's that's, yes, exactly, asking.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Him what he thinks about this game. All we played good.
I think we played really good. Job's not done. I
think we did good.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Okay, I most of college I was not done. Coach,
most of college players interviews, they're not They're not great.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
The job is not done. Okay.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Have you seen that show? Yes, it's a great show.
But I'm glad you bring up Carson Beck Miami beats
Old Miss. We talked about the final play probably should
have been past interference on Miami, but the past was
out of bounds. So I'm sort of okay with how
it ended. But just for a second. We talked about
that a few minutes ago. Counting everything that goes along
(36:06):
with being a quarterback, and it's not always just slinging
the ball down the field and going for three point
fifty and four touchdowns and then rushing twelve times for
seventy five yards to two scores. Sometimes it's about other things.
We mentioned this briefly little bit ago with Carson Beck.
This is counting everything playing quarterback. This is the best
game I have ever seen him play because not only
(36:26):
did he get the team down the field and get
the scores in clutch time, he had the big touchdown
run in the final thirty seconds, which was a great
decision by him. He was calm in the pocket when
none of his receivers were open. He went through all
his progressions. He saw that he had the left side
of the field. Leagu this wasn't where I'm scrambling right away,
and you need more grace under pressure. He makes the
big play, he gets them down the field. He's dynamic enough,
(36:49):
but I mean it, there's a lot of Eli Manning
in him, where so many times tonight Miami had big
plays because he got Miami in the right formation. You
know he had Malachai Tony in in motion. He was
able to change plays the line or a just protection
at the line of scrimmage, and he consistently got Miami
in the right formation. And you know, when you do that,
(37:11):
your chance of success ramps up by fifty because you
know so many variables in every play, but you get
in the right formation, the right situation, the right protection.
He rolled sevens the entire night, and Miami's able to
move the football on ole missus defense. And that's something
that Eli Manning used to do with the Giants that
he never got enough credit for. Was always get moving
Victor Cruz, a keem necks here, getting them in the
(37:32):
right formation, hey, sliding a guy over to block a
blitzer like Eli did that better than almost anybody. And
Carson Beck did that tonight and it was like a
masterclass at him. He was calm, all the right decisions.
You know what was he again? Was he up and
down the field? Did he make some bad throws?
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
But overall tonight two sixty eight three touchdowns overall, But
more importantly, he was in charge of that offense and
there was no wilting, There was no we can't get
it done. They ran the football well, they did everything
need to do. That's the best game I've ever seen
him play quarterback.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Cool, calm and collected the whole time, did not get rattled,
even after that interception that he threw, which was a
crazy interception, super deflected, where he could have wilted, like
you said, you know, he could have gone down on
himself knowing how close this game is and that he
causes an interception, but he kept his head in the game.
And good for you, Carson Beck, because after what happened
(38:23):
with Georgia, you know, he got her.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Georgia didn't use me. And I feel like a lot
of people judged.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Miami for giving him the nil deal that they gave
him because a lot of people didn't anticipate Carson Beck
to be able to take you this far. So good
for you for knowing what you can and can't do,
and Miami for executing it all the way to get
them to the National championship.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Congratulations Age. He looked. He looked like everything you would
want in your quarterback to look in a game like this.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
So that decision was pretty good. Worked out pretty good,
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
But they were criticized for it. And remember with like
dj ouyung La, like the whole j I kind of
said it. I kind of said it, right, You remember that?
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Do you good?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (39:05):
You're very good? Okay good.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
There was that whole like thing about he wanted more
money and he wanted the Carson Beck money and it's
like that. I remember that being a big topic of conversation.
So it's like, good for you, Carson Beck. Way to
prove everybody wrong, all the doubter is wrong.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
He's now opening the door for college teams to look
at their quarterback situation, Like the NFL doesn't go well,
you know, hey, this guy, he's a pretty solid free
agent edition. We can bring him in and be our
bridge quarterback to get us to our next star. Like
teams are girl saying, hey, you can do stuff like
that with Carson Beck. You need to go out and
get the best passer. But we get an experienced guy
who's played in one big game, so we get he'll
(39:41):
be your bridge quarterback to our next five star do
everything player is ready to go.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
That's what I'm saying. Look at that, That's what I'm saying,
good for you. I can't believe Miami, the.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
Are you buying you gloves now so you can do
the you you buy us buying them now ready.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Miami is into the National Championship game. Who will join
them after tomorrow night? Pete Futec College Football Inside or
Extraordinary joins us next. What does he think about the
final play? Pass interference? Not keep it here?

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hello, Welcome in Side hour two The Jason Smith Show
with Monsey Belanos in for Harmon. Harmon's off tonight, sorting
his baseball cards. Four and a half to go in
the fourth quarter, Miami holds a twenty four to nineteen
lead over Ole miss Ole, miss Driving. They are approaching
(00:49):
midfield but facing a big third and eight. Their nineteen
seventeen lead was short lived thanks to Malachi Tony and
I gotta be honest. I love Dante Moore Blank that man.
I want the NFL to change the rules so the
Jets can draft a seventeen year old kid at number
two overall. He is unbelievable. He catches a short pass
(01:12):
right off the snap, takes it thirty six yards for
a touchdown. You just played it in your update. There's
no play that he can't make. Right, I feel like
we've been blessed with a couple of guys two years
in a row. You know, he's only seventeen years old, right,
like Ryan Williams Alabati. You know, he's only seventeen. You
know at Malachai Toni's saying thing seventeen. He does so
much with the football. He's so incredibly exciting, Like he's
(01:34):
somebody that I can see because he's you know, he
hits the radar screen early and still a couple of
more years where depending on the year he had another
couple of years, like next year is supposed to be
a great quarterback year, and then the year after that,
Like it wouldn't surprise me if there's not a big
quarterback to be taken in two years when he's probably
(01:55):
coming that he could be the number one pick in
the draft. He is that exciting, He is that good.
I mean his escapability. Yeah, he wh is just next level.
And again there is something to be said. I know
here they got Yes, he's only seventeen and he's this good.
He is absolutely outstanding.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Yeah, Trinidad Chambliss just escaped.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
As you were talking about that, and I don't know
if you saw the face of Mario Crystoball he was
about to have an aneurysm because they called a pass interference.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
That could be like Crystal Ball's like seventh aneurysm. Tonight
He's not only had one, he's out a few.
Speaker 5 (02:25):
I had a few.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
That one was another winer because they called the past
interference after you said it was a long thirty eight
I think, is what when you were mentioning that play
and they called past interference. So the Rebels just did
get into hurricane territory and in fact, now they're approaching
the red zone and there's plenty of time left. But yeah,
that play by malkay TONI was just you could hear
it in the guys calling the game.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
How excite that That just gives so much excitement.
Speaker 4 (02:48):
Because there hasn't been a lot of excitement, but there
is excitement right now for the rebels.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Uh Trinidad Chambliss has all miss in the end zone.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
Can say about the fourth question, I know, I know,
I know.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
No, what did I tell you about not still talking
about points on the board because I like the under
Now we're we're one more score away from the over
being hit. The over actually I said fifty one and
a half. It went off at fifty two.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And a half, fifty two and a half, twenty.
Speaker 5 (03:13):
Twenty five, twenty four.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
And now you know they're gonna go for two to
make it a field goal game because he doesn't do
any good to go up by two. So you look
at it could be a twenty seven to twenty four game.
One more score in the final three minutes, and suddenly
the overhits, and it's your fault. It's because you put
it out there last hour.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
You put it out I.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Think you should blame Miami's defense for allowing this time.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
No, I blame Miami's defense.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Is fine until you decided all these things could happen.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, I said, Chabalis gets hot. He gets hot in
the fourth quarter, and.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
That's exactly a two point conversion, successful successful revels up
by three.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Yeah, it's your fault. It's your fault. So now the
the the under is just it's just here now at.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Fifteen number eight, happening right now from ye crystal.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Ball is like, yeah, and all I think if I
think of NoHo Hank from from Bowery cristal ball.
Speaker 5 (04:03):
Wast crystal ball. We have crystal ball. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
Yeah, he has not been happy. He has been Alternately,
he has lived every emotion in this game. Right Like
we're gonna we're gonna talk about Kurtz Signetty coming up
later on in the show, and how he said today
at his press conference head coach of Indiana, I gotta
be the same guy the entire time.
Speaker 5 (04:22):
I can'tch a lot of America.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, no, no, no no. He's got his arms up
in the air, high five. And when Big plays, then
when he's mad, he looks like you see it. He
looks like your dad when you like take the car
without permission and come back at three in the morning and.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Like did his eyes twitching.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
You're just like, oh wow, this is this is bad man.
What I did was really bad. Yes, this is really
That's what he looks like.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
That's what he looks like, because he's like, I can't
believe we let this team stay in it for this long.
It was only a matter of time before Chambliss started
hitting those throws. Because it's not like he hasn't done this,
you know what I mean. So it's like it was
only a matter of time, you.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Know, and and the and the thing is is, like
I say, seeing this game, how it was gonna go
when I picked Miami to win again with the under,
and now if Miami wins, it's gonna be the over.
So I'm either gonna be right about the under or
I'm gonna get it. So like what do I want?
I want to be right about the game. So but
the thing is is that to think about this, I
thought this game would go where slowly Miami's defense would
(05:22):
take over and the fourth quarter would be play after
play of Chamblis scrambling trying to find space, not being
able to get it, and the Hurricane defense just pouring
it on. And instead it's become a game where for
both teams the fourth quarter because the defense have played
so well for three quarters. You see that once in
a while in big games, when the pressure is off
and guys go out there to play and the defense
(05:42):
gets gassed, you start seeing big chunk yardage plays for
no reason, Like why are we seeing a chunk yard
We haven't seen one chunk yards play for three and
a half court. Now we're getting it now, Like that's
what we've been seeing so far in the fourth quarter.
So I thought, Hey, this is gonna be the opposite way,
and Miami's defense is gonna shut things down in the
fourth quarter, and instead it's now the offense has to
has to pull it out for Miami here in the
(06:02):
fourth quarter.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Yeah, and I don't know again, I don't know if
they can.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Carson Beck to me, is just a little bit too
inconsistent to trust him in this situation. He just I
don't know if it was a miscommunication in that throw,
but it didn't look good for Miami, and you're probably right.
I think the defense might be a little bit tired
right now. And this is not this is not what
either team wants in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
No, I mean that play should have been a touchdown
like he had he had received streaking open and he
just threw it short short.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
It looks short, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Like it was a thirty yard pass downfield and it's
where where's why is that football five feet behind me?
And you see he puts his hands on his head
and says, oh, my goodness.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Which is why we watch a missed opportunity miscommunication because
of how he reacted to where he was like, oh,
you know, but yeah, it seemed like he had a
he had him to go yeah downfield, and then it
was a little short.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now, I will say this about Carson Beck in that
he has been the the like if you look up, hey,
what's the dictionary definition of a game manager at quarterback?
Like he has been game managing his way all season long, right, because.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
That's kind of what is.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Beck was really good at Georgia obviously moving around now
going to Miami hitting it there because he was never
really the dynamic player that we thought he was gonna be.
But he has game managed, you know, pretty well, and
watching him especially tonight, like this is something Eli Manning
never really got enough credit for with the Giants, is
that Eli Manning was a guy that always one of
(07:21):
the things he did his big superpower was always whatever
the formation was, he would get the Giants in the
right formation, take the play clock down, and knew where
to go with the football right away. And that's a
big deal when you know, Okay, they look like they're
gonna do this, we have to get into this formation.
Speaker 5 (07:36):
This is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Carson Beck has done that so much tonight, making sure
Miami's in the right formation, seeing what's out there, calling
for motion moving guys around. Like even that touchdown pass
to Tony. Hey sees what's happening, you know, gives Tony
the nod to come in motion. So you know that's
one of those plays where it's not set from to
come in motion. It's if I give you the nod,
it's because I see something in you come in motion.
(07:58):
He gives Tony the nod, He comes in and gives
them the ball, like he's done that. He's done a
great job on that tonight. But now you've got to
get to a point where Okay, that's great, but now
you got to get downfield in the final couple of minutes.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
I know, I said that, like he's inconsistent on the
offense for me, whenever I watch Miami this season, but
they haven't it's it's not like they've won in spite
of him. I agree with you. I think he's done
a really good job with Miami this year, and I
don't know if they would win without him. They need him,
even though he is a game manager.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
He does so much for them.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
It's just like when he has like a really good game,
it's like, I just don't know what I'm gonna see
that offense. That offense again from Carson Beck. Yeah, because
he is a game manager and he has moments. He
has moments, but they have definitely he is not hindering them.
Because sometimes I feel like we use game managers like
a negative thing, right, like somebody we always use it,
(08:47):
always a negative.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
But I don't always think it is, like I truly
with him, it's not. I don't think it is with
Jalen Hurts, Like.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
There are certain game managers that you're winning with them
and because of them, not in spite of them.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
Well, and especially coming last year your Miami Y're saying, Okay,
well we just had the number one pick in the draft.
We just lost a guy, but we're still uber talented.
If we don't think we quite have the next star quarterback,
five star recruit coming into the U, what do we do. Now,
Let's go get Carson Beck, who has been through the wars,
he started forty games in college football. I'm pretty sure
(09:19):
he can come in and master the playbook and get
everything going and get our team to where it needs
to be. Now, maybe he's not doesn't have the quite
have the ceiling, not another guy would have. But he's
someone I know that there will be no growing pains.
We're not going to lose games early and have to
worry about someone growing into the role because we don't
want to give a year away that we're coming off
of we're building a lot of momentum, because that hurts recruiting,
(09:39):
it hurts everything. So bring him in obviously the right
call because there on the playoff, in the semi final,
two minutes away potentially from the championship game.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
So it works.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
But at this at the same time, now it's okay,
this is where you got to bring that little bit
something extra to the party, right, doing a great job
most of the night tonight again getting guys in the
right formation moving. But this has been a team that
you know, at some point uarterback's gotta go win a
game for you at some point, not every week, not
every week, and you expect a guy to go out
and slinging. But once in a while I was like, hey,
need you something here. They can't run the sledge hammer
(10:10):
ground game anymore. With two minutes to go down by three,
They can't keep running the short passes to Malachai Tony
because now they're down, they need to be able to
get downfield and he's gotta be dynamic, and he's got
two minutes to get Miami down there, because that's we're
at right now with the two minute warning, Miami driving.
They still have the ball on their side of the field,
down by three to ole Miss.
Speaker 3 (10:28):
It's gonna be a tall task to ask Carson beck
to do that. I think he has it in him.
I think he has it in him.
Speaker 4 (10:33):
It's just like, you can't expect him to do it
every game, but I think he has it in him
to get you at least in a position to tie
the game.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
Okay, so now let me ask you this now the
big question obviously, as we sit here in Paul's two
minute warning, is Lane Kiffin watching this game going come on, guys,
two matches defense? Or is he saying, come on, Carson
doing the U Come on, Carson, get down there.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Win this game.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
I'm telling you he's shearing for the Hurricanes, hoping Carson
Beck Beck puts some in a position to win because.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
He can't have the Rebels go to the championship without him.
He can't.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
He wanted that would be such a terrible, you know,
strike to his ego because he has to be right.
What I left to go win a championship. This team
you left is literally in the championship without you.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
I mean, think about the optic and the story that
I left a team that I brought as far as
I thought we could go to go someplace bigger to
win a national championship where I have to start over,
got to bring my players in, my staff, everything, got
to play a whole season, and they're expecting the playoff
right in a national title right away? Right, So that
(11:40):
was But instead the team I left two games later,
it's gonna play for the Nationals.
Speaker 5 (11:46):
Yeah, yeah, idiot, idiot.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
That's such an awful there's that's such an awful optic
for Lane Kiffin, and it really makes you It really
makes you wonder if he really thought that Ole Miss
could get there, right, because if you if LSU really
wanted him and he said, with a handshake, deal, listen,
I'll go, but I'm going at the end of the playoff. Yeah,
(12:09):
it gets to a point where it's difficult because you
are in a situation of we gotta have a coach
at some point, and if you're playing till the middle
of January with a transfer portal hitting and and you know, look,
this week has been all about the transferportal. We kind
of need somebody else, but you know still, I mean,
you gotta wonder, man, I could be losing my my
biggest shot at the championship. Now I gotta go build
(12:31):
everything from scratch at LSU and try to figure it out.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
I don't think he thought ole Miss could get there,
like really get there.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I don't think so. And that's why he was okay
with walking out the way he did it.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Really, I mean, he's gotta be He's got to be
a glass case of emotions like now, like Rod Bergen,
I tell you he's cheering every play. If it's a
completed passer Miami, he's cheering it. If it's an incomplete pass,
he's cheering it. He's doing all of He's cheering both sides,
doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
He seems like a type that would throw something at
the wall, like his drink. Yeah, yeah, sure, I'm saying.
The minute the rebels toick the lead, I can already
see he threw his drink to the wall.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
I can see like I picture him being like all
the gifts you have that are on there of people
just ripping their televisions off the wall and throwing him
out the window. Or my new favorites of the guys
that are punching their TVs and break them, you know,
and they see a play that doesn't go right, they
just punch their TV and break it.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
I've told you how much I just want to destroy
a car. Like punching the TV also sounds great?
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah, like right through it you can see all the
color and it just smash in front of you.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Yeah, you want to go in a rage room?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
I do want to go in am you talked about it?
Speaker 1 (13:33):
You a rage room with it? With a Clipper colored car?
Cr Well, I mean the Clippers are your team.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
Right, But I don't want to destroy a Clipper car.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Got it?
Speaker 6 (13:40):
Well?
Speaker 5 (13:41):
No, I mean just painted the Clippers' colors.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
No, I would rather destroy a Nick car.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Why because what happened last night?
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Because you couldn't do it on the court, so you
have to do it. Yeah, you couldn't do it then.
So where we sit right now? Twenty seven, twenty four
Miami driving the ruling on the field is a completed
pass to Tony on the sideline. They are looking at
it to see if he got one foot down. If
(14:07):
he does have one foot down, he makes this catch.
This is one of the greatest catches you'll ever see
in college football. It's not a completed catch. He reaches
back behind him where Carson beck a play where he
just tries to keep the play alive, and he fades
back to pass and he's all over the place. And
he throws it to the sideline and reaches like Spider
(14:28):
Man like, reaches all the way back with one hand,
pulls it in. But it looks like the back half
of his foot came down out of bounds. So it's
gonna be third and six from Miami here about a
minute twenty six left to go. Obviously two down territory
for the Hurricanes.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But they're right there. They're right there in field goal range.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
Oh, I wish they would have caught. They would have
kind of that, I know, Okay, for the sake of football.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
That was a catch. Yeah, they are on the cusp
of field goal range. They are three, three or four
yards away from field goal range. But listen is as
Pete Futek, who's gonna join us after this game, likes
to say college kickers, college kickers.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
College college.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Yeah, but you're not putting Cameron Dicker out there and
guys that can you know, Hey, we're good from fifty
all the time, like college kickers. Colle you've already seen
missus and guys hitting the upright tonight college kickers. But
it looks like Miami did get the first down. Yes,
Daniels catches the ball at the sticks and reaches out
(15:29):
past the first down marker. It is a first and
ten for Miami with about a minute ten left to go. Again,
a field goal ties it. A touchdown would most likely
give them the win. Again now they are fully in
field goal range. We'll have more on this game coming
up next. Are we talking about overtime? Are we talking
about oh miss without lane kiffing the title? Are we
(15:51):
talking about Michael Irvin dancing in the middle of the field?
Speaker 5 (15:53):
Take What are we gonna see?

Speaker 1 (16:45):
Carson Touchdown Fox Sports Radio, The Jason Smith Show with
Mike Harmon, Moncia Belangos in for Harmon and Well good news,
bad news, Bad news?
Speaker 5 (16:58):
Is the over?
Speaker 4 (16:59):
His?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Yes, I love the under, loved it. I said, if
you put the under a twenty nine and a half,
I'm taking the under.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Don't have it. The over has hit.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
However, as long as this score holds in the final
eighteen seconds tickoff, as we think they are, the Miami
Hurricanes are headed to the National Championship Game. Carson Beck,
on second in goal from the eight yard line, scrambles
in for the touchdown to give Miami the lead. The
(17:28):
kickoff is coming. Here's what it sounded like just moments ago.
Speaker 6 (17:32):
Beck holds his hands out, takes drops, look to the right, looked,
you can.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
Be you got cursent back to the heads out Hey
rent it in over the left side, Carson Back takes
it in for Miami touchdown.
Speaker 5 (17:49):
Miami touchdown for Carson Beck. Is that the winning moment?
He's a three yard touchdown.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Miami Radio Network on the call, we talked about Carson
Beck having to do it because we said, look, your
quarterback's gotta do it at some point for you, you
need at least one play.
Speaker 5 (18:05):
Well, he got it, so Miami with the lead.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
However, there is still a little bit of something something
to happen. Eighteen seconds left on the kickoff. Ole Miss
gets the football and Trinidad Chambliss throws a laser to midfield.
They run up and spike it. Eleven seconds left. They
need to get in the end zone, but they are
now at least in Hail Mary territory or at least
(18:31):
one play away. They do have a timeout left. They
are one play away for potentially least having a play
into the end zone that could win this game. So
it's gonna be a second and ten four. Ole Miss
their own forty eight yard light again. They gotta get
in the end zone at thirty one to twenty seven
because you know the over is it and they are
going to have at least one play into the end zone.
They call their final time out with five seconds left
(18:54):
to go. Chambliss throws over the middle, Stribbling comes down
with the ball. They now will have it potentially one
play maybe too if you throw a quick out. But
they have the ball right now at about the thirty
yard line of Miami. In two plays they have gotten
down within striking distance. They are one play away from
getting into the end zone. This is the big thing.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Now.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
They did put one more second back on the clock,
six seconds left, So if you are ole Miss and
you see some soft coverage, you could run a quick out,
get yourself maybe seven or eight yards, and then you
have your final play at the end zone.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I can't believe where they're at right now. You just
described all that perfectly.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Also, what you said about Carson Beck before he got
them in the end zone was everything that Miami wants
in him.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
He reads the field.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Well.
Speaker 4 (19:41):
It's like he may not throw the best lasers like
Trinidad Chambliss, but that was him assessing the field and
realizing I have a straight line to the end zone.
He didn't worry about it, he didn't stress about it,
he didn't got in there.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
He was really calm in the Chris. Wasn't a play
where all of a sudden he was running around. This
was I didn't say. I went through my progressions and
the left side of the field was wide open. He's hot,
basically high stepping into the end zone for the touchdown
to go ahead.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Everything you had just said about Carson Beck literally, that's
what he did right now puts them up. And I
cannot believe Trinidad Chambliss already has the rebels where they
are on the field right now, giving them an actual chance.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Yeah, two big plays by Chambliss into the middle of
the field, and you know, look, taking advantage.
Speaker 5 (20:26):
This is thing.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Knowing that, hey it's eighteen seconds, but you have a
couple of timeouts, golong to the middle of the field.
They're gonna They're gonna roll their coverage to the sideline.
Obviously you can do that. Certain teams still get scared.
I still gotta throw out of bounds. No, get a
big chunky yards, get thirty yards down to the middle
of the field, get another twenty yards or so, and
that's where they are. Miami has just taken their last
time out of the game. Both teams out of timeouts,
(20:49):
so it's gonna be first down on Miami's thirty five
yard line with six seconds left to go thirty five
yards a lot. I would not be surprised to see again.
I wouldn't to see them run like like a Trip's
left situation or trips right, and we're gonna throw it out.
Get close to the twenty five yard line. Then it's
a little more manageable because now you're still just you're
you're kind of chucking it up, even though even though
(21:10):
at least you're in a little bit more than than
Hail Mary range.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Right now, I feel like Trinidad Chambaliss is like living
for this moment.
Speaker 5 (21:19):
Yeah, like this is a bit.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
This is it.
Speaker 4 (21:21):
He's like, I don't know if I'm gonna play again
next year. I don't know if is gonna give me
one more year.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
I would have held out before this play saying, hey,
you can extra year or I am not signing.
Speaker 5 (21:31):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
The final pass by Trinidad Chambliss to the end zone
is incomplete. Ole Miss is looking for a flag. They
do not get it. Miami is celebrating. Crystal Ball is
walking across the field with his hand in the air.
The Miami Hurricanes are headed to the National Championship Game,
beating Ole Miss thirty one twenty seven. The final play,
(21:55):
Chambless is flushed out of the pocket, rolls left throw
to the end zone. I'm still waiting for a replay again.
The Ole Miss receiver was, you know, put his hand
up for a flag right away. I mean, why wouldn't
you because it's the last play of the game. Uh,
and it was not thrown. There is a little bit
of contact. There is a lot of Wow, odd lot,
that's a lot of contact down He had the front
(22:19):
of Stribbling's jersey from the two yard line into the
back of the end zone. That's a pass interference call
that has missed. But the official, being where he is
probably couldn't see it because you're on the side and
you don't see the front of the player's jersey. But
he had a hold of his jersey from about the
two yard line to about eight yards deep in the
(22:42):
end zone. He had a hold of that jersey for
eight yards. Now, you could say, hey, makeup call because
of the big targeting call that was bad. That helped
give Ole Miss a field goal. But wow, that was
that's past interference for about eight yards that he would
that they got away with on that final play.
Speaker 3 (22:59):
For a second, look like Trinidad. Chambliss started celebrating because.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
He was like, oh, pass interference, and then they didn't
call it and he couldn't believe it. But it looked
like he was already starting to skip down the field
because he thought they were going to call it pass interference,
which it was past interference.
Speaker 3 (23:15):
That that is not the way you want to end.
That is not the way.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Congratulations yes to Miami and to Lane Kiffin, but that
is not how you want to end.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:27):
The thing is this now to think about a penalty
like this when you think about him, because this is
a pass to the back of the end zone. Right then,
Miami had two guys on the goal line. They had
two defensive backs on the goal line. They were playing
this where hey, they have to go to the end
zone here with six seconds left to go. You see
Hail Mary plays all the time, and if you get
to see replays of it close up, you see pass
(23:49):
interference all the time. But it's impossible to call on
plays like that when it's so physical and everything is
close to each other and the ball is thrown up there.
This was not quite that because this was a pass
to the back of the en end zone with with
with a little bit of one on one coverage and
even though the one official is behind is on the sideline,
so he doesn't see where the where the DB's hand is. Like,
(24:10):
that's something that's gotta be seen by someone. And again
he had a hold of his jersey for eight yards. Yeah,
like this wasn't I had it for a couple of
yards and I let go in the end zone and
they don't call it. That's you know what that's called.
That's being a great defensive back. This was I'm just
holding the yoke of his jersey the oak of his
shoulder pads for about eight yards and and shutting that
(24:30):
down Like that should have been a flag.
Speaker 5 (24:32):
It should have been another play for ole Miss.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
But then at the same time, it's like, do you
call that here? Do you call it in this moment?
Speaker 1 (24:41):
If you're if, if you're Miami, you say, damn skippy,
you call it because you threw a flag on us
in the two thousand and one National title game against
Ohio State that gave them the National Championship game, So
you damn skippy, better give us something new right here?
You better make sure we get to get it even
right here? Uh so I get Look it's a crazy
end and and and this play is going to be
(25:02):
debated here a miscall The thing is looking at that play,
I don't like. Now that's a flag, right, obviously it's
a flag.
Speaker 3 (25:11):
Is it egregious?
Speaker 5 (25:11):
I don't know that. Yeah, it's well yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:15):
Right no, And in slow motion it did. But if
we if in real time, how did it look? I
feel like if it looked egregious in real time? I
only saw the slow motion of it and it was
very clear as day.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
But in real time, it's like, was it egregious? Do
you make that call?
Speaker 1 (25:30):
What?
Speaker 4 (25:30):
Was it?
Speaker 3 (25:31):
Just happened? Rams against two? Why am I blinking?
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (25:35):
Yeah yeah passive? That was not called?
Speaker 4 (25:38):
And it's like you don't call that there, right, because
you don't call But here it's like, do you call
it here?
Speaker 3 (25:43):
Was it egregious?
Speaker 5 (25:44):
I don't know?
Speaker 1 (25:45):
But that was bad?
Speaker 5 (25:45):
That was bad.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
The one thing that I could say, because you never
want a game to end on a play like this, right,
and should a penalty you have been called? Yeah, a
penalty should have been called on that right, that, and
it should have been another play for ole Miss. Whatever
you want to call. You want to call pass interference,
you want to call it should have been. It should
have been another play. It should actually happened. But the
thing is, and this is, this is what I get
to is that even if he doesn't have a hold
(26:07):
of his jersey, he didn't really impede his progress into
the end zone.
Speaker 5 (26:12):
He didn't.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It didn't really stop him from catching the ball. So
even let's just say the play unfolds that way and
he and he just got his hand, you know, not
with the whole of his jersey, I don't know that
that changes the outcome of the play. I don't think
Stribbling is able to go up and get the ball
at that point because the ball it's literally right in
the corner.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
It was like going out already. Yeah, it was a
hard catch.
Speaker 1 (26:34):
While it should have been a flag, right, because it
is both things can be true. It should have been
a flag, and it might now it would have been
one more play for ole Miss. Surely you know you're
closer and you potentially get a touchdown, But at the
same time, like that play, I don't think that would
have been a touchdown catch, even if he didn't have
his hand off it. So, you know, you always want
to finish a game like this and say, boy, hey
(26:55):
the you know, you never want to say the referees
blew it. They took the game away one hundred percent.
You want to be able to say, hey, that penalty
was was you know that that should have been called
and it wasn't. But at the same time, I don't
know that they would have caught the ball anyway. Like
That's kind of where I'm at with it, because both
things can be true for a play like that.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
I'm with you. I'm with you.
Speaker 4 (27:12):
That sounds like I don't know because it looked bad
in this motion, but yeah, it's it's a good thing.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
I don't care. I don't I'm not a fan of
either team, so I'm over here. He's just you know, Switzerland,
Like I'm chilling.
Speaker 5 (27:22):
That's okay.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
You know, if I was a Rebels fan, I would
be very mad.
Speaker 5 (27:27):
Well, of course you are, yeah, of course, living you
want to fly.
Speaker 4 (27:31):
That throw, like you said, was a little bit deep.
It was really going almost out of the end zone.
He would have had to have done a miraculous catch there,
which you know, we've seen, sure, we've seen, but now.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
There is there is some hand fighting on this thing.
Is Stribley Scott is his left arm out. That looked
like hand fighting as well. So maybe that's what what
pushed the referees.
Speaker 5 (27:59):
You know, it's yard out of the end zone.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
It's like if if if you're hanging out with somebody,
you're at a bar and someone kind of grabs you
and he turned around and go, hey what get your
hands off? But you can diffuse that situation if someone
grabs you and holds onto you for eight yards.
Speaker 5 (28:11):
Okay, something's got to happen.
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Something going down that.
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Can't happen, that can't happen.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
Yeah, that was rough. That was rough. But hey, the
you goes on.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
You goes on, and I want to say you look
not that it's something you want to bring up all
the time. But in our college football playoff pool we
have going on here with listeners and everybody else who

Speaker 6 (33:58):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (33:59):
Yeah, well Karen Sharp did love songs on the Coast
ellen K. Ellen K have to think she helped give
me my starting radio. Really, I owe ellen K more
than than anybody in the world for introducing me to
the right people and getting me a chance to start
filling it in radio. I owe ellen K so much
it's it's not even funny.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Ellen K is on Coast Now songs. Yes, but I
know she was from like Kiss a fam with Ryan Seacrest.
I feel like that's why I used to listen to her.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Oh wow, so because you're younger than me, Like, well
she was on with Rick D's for a long time.
Speaker 5 (34:32):
And the Weekly Top.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Forties, and then she sets you up for the success
that you have now.
Speaker 5 (34:39):
Yes, I owe ellen Case. I can't.
Speaker 1 (34:42):
I can't tell you like I look it up. I'm
a firm believer that you know at some point, when
you do something for a career, you get a break.
But you have to realize when that break is and
and kick the door down like that was my break,
ellen K getting to introduce me to two people and
say and help me get a chance start filling in
and doing stuff like ellen K? Was it?
Speaker 5 (35:01):
Ellen Ellen? I mean I owe her, so I can't
even tell you shut out ellen K. Ellen Kay was
so much fun to work with.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
If it wasn't for, it'd be you and harmon. Okay, yeah, okay,
you know, I feel like it would be completely different.
Speaker 1 (35:18):
But you'd be here with Alex Tischer and you'd be
You'd be You'd be talking about food and why food
is more important than sports.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
That's that's, yes, exactly, asking.
Speaker 5 (35:30):
Him what he thinks about this game. All we played good.
I think we played really good. Job's not done. I
think we did good.
Speaker 1 (35:35):
Okay, I most of college I was not done. Coach,
most of college players interviews, they're not They're not great.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
The job is not done. Okay.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Have you seen that show? Yes, it's a great show.
But I'm glad you bring up Carson Beck Miami beats
Old Miss. We talked about the final play probably should
have been past interference on Miami, but the past was
out of bounds. So I'm sort of okay with how
it ended. But just for a second. We talked about
that a few minutes ago. Counting everything that goes along
(36:06):
with being a quarterback, and it's not always just slinging
the ball down the field and going for three point
fifty and four touchdowns and then rushing twelve times for
seventy five yards to two scores. Sometimes it's about other things.
We mentioned this briefly little bit ago with Carson Beck.
This is counting everything playing quarterback. This is the best
game I have ever seen him play because not only
(36:26):
did he get the team down the field and get
the scores in clutch time, he had the big touchdown
run in the final thirty seconds, which was a great
decision by him. He was calm in the pocket when
none of his receivers were open. He went through all
his progressions. He saw that he had the left side
of the field. Leagu this wasn't where I'm scrambling right away,
and you need more grace under pressure. He makes the
big play, he gets them down the field. He's dynamic enough,
(36:49):
but I mean it, there's a lot of Eli Manning
in him, where so many times tonight Miami had big
plays because he got Miami in the right formation. You
know he had Malachai Tony in in motion. He was
able to change plays the line or a just protection
at the line of scrimmage, and he consistently got Miami
in the right formation. And you know, when you do that,
(37:11):
your chance of success ramps up by fifty because you
know so many variables in every play, but you get
in the right formation, the right situation, the right protection.
He rolled sevens the entire night, and Miami's able to
move the football on ole missus defense. And that's something
that Eli Manning used to do with the Giants that
he never got enough credit for. Was always get moving
Victor Cruz, a keem necks here, getting them in the
(37:32):
right formation, hey, sliding a guy over to block a
blitzer like Eli did that better than almost anybody. And
Carson Beck did that tonight and it was like a
masterclass at him. He was calm, all the right decisions.
You know what was he again? Was he up and
down the field? Did he make some bad throws?
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (37:48):
But overall tonight two sixty eight three touchdowns overall, But
more importantly, he was in charge of that offense and
there was no wilting, There was no we can't get
it done. They ran the football well, they did everything
need to do. That's the best game I've ever seen
him play quarterback.
Speaker 4 (38:02):
Cool, calm and collected the whole time, did not get rattled,
even after that interception that he threw, which was a
crazy interception, super deflected, where he could have wilted, like
you said, you know, he could have gone down on
himself knowing how close this game is and that he
causes an interception, but he kept his head in the game.
And good for you, Carson Beck, because after what happened
(38:23):
with Georgia, you know, he got her.
Speaker 3 (38:24):
Georgia didn't use me. And I feel like a lot
of people judged.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Miami for giving him the nil deal that they gave
him because a lot of people didn't anticipate Carson Beck
to be able to take you this far. So good
for you for knowing what you can and can't do,
and Miami for executing it all the way to get
them to the National championship.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
Congratulations Age. He looked. He looked like everything you would
want in your quarterback to look in a game like this.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
So that decision was pretty good. Worked out pretty good,
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
But they were criticized for it. And remember with like
dj ouyung La, like the whole j I kind of
said it. I kind of said it, right, You remember that?
Speaker 5 (39:04):
Do you good?
Speaker 1 (39:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (39:05):
You're very good? Okay good.
Speaker 4 (39:07):
There was that whole like thing about he wanted more
money and he wanted the Carson Beck money and it's
like that. I remember that being a big topic of conversation.
So it's like, good for you, Carson Beck. Way to
prove everybody wrong, all the doubter is wrong.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
He's now opening the door for college teams to look
at their quarterback situation, Like the NFL doesn't go well,
you know, hey, this guy, he's a pretty solid free
agent edition. We can bring him in and be our
bridge quarterback to get us to our next star. Like
teams are girl saying, hey, you can do stuff like
that with Carson Beck. You need to go out and
get the best passer. But we get an experienced guy
who's played in one big game, so we get he'll
(39:41):
be your bridge quarterback to our next five star do
everything player is ready to go.
Speaker 4 (39:45):
That's what I'm saying. Look at that, That's what I'm saying,
good for you. I can't believe Miami, the.
Speaker 5 (39:50):
Are you buying you gloves now so you can do
the you you buy us buying them now ready.
Speaker 3 (39:54):
I'm ready.
Speaker 1 (39:55):
Miami is into the National Championship game. Who will join
them after tomorrow night? Pete Futec College Football Inside or
Extraordinary joins us next. What does he think about the
final play? Pass interference? Not keep it here?
