Speaker 1 (06:32):
West Virginia and
Pitt, the good old backyard
brawl yeah, the backyard brawl.
West Virginia's getting six anda half.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
I think Pitt covers
that man West Virginia lost to
Ohio last week.
Yeah, I think Pitt covers thatman.
Speaker 1 (06:44):
West Virginia lost to
Ohio last week.
Yeah, I think Pitt's sneakygood this year.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
West Virginia's down
their top running back for the
season.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
I'm going with you,
pitt.
All right, texas Tech number 21.
Big money, texas Tech.
They're hosting the Beavers.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
The winless Beavers
yeah, they'll roll over them.
24 and a half.
The windless beavers.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, they'll roll
over 24 and a half USC now on
the road at Purdue.
Purdue's getting 21 and a half.
The Trojans should blow themout.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Can they do that?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I don't know man
Barry Odom's defense
Boilermakers.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Give me the
Boilermakers to cover Iowa State
over Arkansas State.
I'm going to take Iowa State tocover 20 and a half.
I think they need to do that.
We're not going to Texas.
Oh God no, all right, southFlorida, miami, south Florida is
(07:49):
getting 17 and a half.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, that seems
about right.
Listen, I I know miami's like.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
This is not going to
be florida.
They're not going to overlookyou because their schedules well
, number one, they have aquarterback.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
That's not hurt,
right, that can throw the ball
down the field and you just beatflorida they've got everybody's
gonna right.
They got an offensive systemthat actually works.
Um, you know, they havephysical trenches.
They will beat usf up in thetrenches.
This is something they hypedflorida up all offseason for
(08:20):
having is, you know, these, thisgreat offensive line, this
great defensive line, and it'snot there?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
well is miami gonna
do just dominate this game
though 17 and a half.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I mean I'm going to
take the Bulls to cover.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
That's what I can
tell you.
South Florida is a rostercomprised of marginal in-state
talent.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Well, exactly, and I
think they're going to be
playing with the chip on theirshoulder.
I'm not saying they're going towin.
I think Miami's going to winhandily.
I'm just looking for thebackdoor cover here.
17?
.
I'm looking for the 17-pointloss.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Like Miami wins,
recover here 17, I'm looking for
the 17 point loss.
Like miami wins 40, 41, 24, Igot it 48, 17 miami.
I think it's going to be thatkind of game.
Byron brown is not an accuratepasser.
He's kind of a one-trick pony.
You know a bunch of qb runs andthen throw it deep.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
This is the all right
, let's go.
Let's move on um.
Ole Miss playing Arkansas.
Arkansas is getting a touchdownand plus a hook seven and a
half this is a.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
This is a sneaky one
man.
Ole Miss did not look overlyimpressive against Kentucky.
I'll take Arkansas to cover.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
I don't think they
get the win Same point spread in
Baton Rouge, as the Gators aregetting seven and a half.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
Man.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
I thought it'd be
more.
Yeah, this is a rivalry game.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
If LSU wouldn't have
looked, you got to think you're
going to get.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
They look like shit
against Louisiana Tech.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
You know like you
expect LSU to blow Louisiana
Tech out, and they didn't do itRight.
They looked bad.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I'm taking the Gators
, I think.
I think they're going to show.
I mean they have talent and ifnot, if they don't, they're
going to play hard.
They will.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
They'll probably lose
by a field goal.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It'll be a close game
.
I am convinced that the hook is.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
I'm going to take it
that Lagway is not even close to
100%.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
So you're taking LSU?
Yeah, yeah, if that was, yeah,this is a gut I got to get eight
.
Speaker 2 (10:38):
I got to see him do
something Like the LSU defense
is way better than USF, right.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Well, this is it Like
this is everything's on the
line now.
Your coach is in the hot seat.
I think they have a betterchance this week than I mean
they're going to Miami next.
So, yeah, I mean yeah, theyhave a better chance this week
than I mean they're going toMiami next.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
Yeah, I mean yeah,
they got a better chance this
week than going.
You got to remember it's 730 inDeath Valley.
That is a that you know.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Championship teams
have gone in there and gotten
beat.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Oh, I know, but they
also went in there.
Alabama went in there last year, Right, and smoked them, yeah.
So I mean this is Well.
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Alabama.
This is it.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
This is put up or
shut up for the Napier's better
when his back's against the wall.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It's going to take
something like Milrow did from
Lagway.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Right.
I don't think they're going towin.
I just think they're going tokeep it competitive, lose
closely and tear their heartsout, but you're going to go LSU.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
Yeah, I'm just going
to go LSU.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
A&M's getting six and
a half.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
I will think A&M
covers that.
I'll take the Irish by atouchdown.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I hope so.
Speaker 2 (11:52):
For Junior's sake,
the Bears are god-awful.
Mike Elko's sake, the Bears aregod-awful.
So it you know, but Mike Elko'sdefense.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Well, yeah, okay, all
right, let's go South Carolina,
vandy Vandy's getting five anda half.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Hmm, that's another
one.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Shit, I'll go V Vandy
, I'll go South Carolina, but
yeah watch out I mean it's notas long as they got that guy
Diego at QB.
It's not the old school Vandy,but then again you got Sellers
for South Carolina.
I mean it yeah.
I don't know if I want to takevandy on that.
There's really nothing else Ithink I'll switch over to the
(12:39):
cocks all right.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Well, there you have
it.
There's some other ones, butthat's about.
That's nothing worth picking,man yeah, I mean that's.
Yeah, it's about ACC actionFlorida LSU is what I'll be most
looking forward to.
I just I think it's going to bea good game.
I think it's a rivalry game yeahit reminds me of like back when
(13:06):
, you know, florida state lostto louisville and then went in,
had to play miami, you know, andeverybody thought it was like
13 points or something.
Yeah, and those kind of gamesit's.
This is seven and a half, whichis god.
I'm really testing it there,but I think that with that
(13:26):
schedule mean they got to dosomething and then they did it
last year.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
If Flagway is healthy
man, they're just inconsistent
and this is the game thatthey'll play hard If he's just
shaking off rust.
If last week, I mean they couldhave easily won that game.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
If he just makes some
throws, yeah Well, he can't, he
just doesn't play like yeahwell, he can't, run man
Laterally he can't move.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Six carries for nine
yards, that might be the.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
He got sacked one
time, so he's a shell of himself
, big shell.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Right, he couldn't
throw 6'2", 250 pounds 250.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Yeah, he's not
Anthony Richardson.
He'd need him to be like 235.
Yeah, if he can't throw, yeahWell.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
and then he got the
leg injury, you know coming into
the summer, Right?
So if he's just shaking offrust and he kind of feels his
way through it, then yeah man, Ithink they got a shot.
But if he's still just not 100%and trying to tough it out,
they're going to get their asseskicked.
Because this is the same kindof heat on Brian Kelly that's on
(14:35):
Billy Napier.
They may not have the samerecord.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
Go ahead and lose
this game.
If you're Brian Kelly, I don'tthink so.
I think they're going to win aclose one.
I just think Florida will keepit close.
They'll probably get out to alead.
It'll be interesting to see.
They'll probably get out to alead and then LSU's going to
(14:58):
come back and win it.
Speaker 2 (14:59):
Now the defensive
lineman that spit on the player
for USF.
They haven't ruled on whetheror not he's going to be
suspended for this game.
That's their best defensivelineman in the middle.
That's another thing We'll see.
Like you said, it's not goingto get any easier.
(15:22):
They've got to go to CoralGables right after that.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Just a good old bye
week.
Yeah, I wish we didn't have abye week.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
Nah, it came at a
good time.
You got some guys that need toheal up.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
Okay, and then you
have pretty much another
practice game.
Right, you just want to getthrough that, and then it's just
the big road game of the firsthalf of the season.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
Yeah, conference play
.
Honestly, I wish that we didn'teven have to play Kent State.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
No, I mean.
Well, it's on the schedule, man.
Speaker 2 (15:58):
Go ahead and get to
it, just another.
Speaker 1 (16:04):
We'll see if they can
build on what they did and
dominate and just get it towhere the counter's ready.
You know like they're ready torespond.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Yeah, it's gonna come
friday night in charlottesville
probably right thatcharlottesville that's the
biggest you know, because yougot to go from week to week it's
not all off season gettingready to play Alabama.
It's all right.
We played Kent State, beat theshit out of them.
Now we've got to rebound quick,go on the road and play a team
(16:34):
that's oh, I'm sure they'relooking at Virginia and they're
already having that scouted.
I would imagine they're probablydoing both Virginia and Miami,
more than anything for KentState Right, because Miami's the
next week.
Yeah, I imagine they'reprobably doing both Virginia and
.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Miami more than
anything for Kent State Right,
because Miami's the next week.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Yeah, I mean that's
crazy.
That's the big juggernaut onthe schedule as it stands now.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Hands down.
That's the best team you'regoing to face the most physical,
the most athletic.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
It's going to be a
clash of the old school Titans
in the transfer portal era.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Would like for both
teams to be undefeated so you
can watch Kirk.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Herbstreet.
But that I mean you can't saythat there's chances Miami could
lose it.
South Florida, florida Statecould lose to Virginia.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Well, they got, you
know, they got USF and UF, Then
a bye week.
I just I don't see them losingeither one of those games.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
Wow, they're probably
in all the state teams right
back to back.
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Yeah, wow, you got
little old Central Florida
Orlando State.
Our ride was here, we got ashow.
Their fans are a little bitsalty about Gus Malzahn's
offensive explosion.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Yeah, I think it's
just timing.
Yeah, I think it's just timing.
He took the best players, youadded them with other mix and
then you have Malzahn doing justoffense.
Maybe he just didn't likeOrlando.
I don't think he likes headcoaching.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Nah, why would?
You, I mean the money's great,but God, all the shit you got to
deal with now, Donors.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
He's on the field
shaking hands, kissing babies.
Man, I just want to call ballplays.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Oh yeah, skill sets
Well that's the transfer portal.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
It's about timing and
paying money to the right guys.
Yeah, and I like the guys theygot.
Look hungry, motivated, wellcoached so far.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
Yeah, I mean it
really highlights just how bad
shit was last year.
Yeah, Throughout the lockerroom, like from day one.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Those same coaches
were here in 2023, but then it
just showed you how good thoseplayers were Right.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
You had leaders in
the locker room Right and they
left and you had nothing elseRight.
Pat Payton, role player at LSU.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, I mean there's wasn't.
He wasn't up for being the guyno, he was a.
He's a good role player greatrole player Josh Farmer so when
they evaluate it bye yeah, I I'ma through two games.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
I'm impressed with
Daryl Jackson.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Yeah well, I knew you
were going to get it.
He made the right decision Comeback, dominate, and it's worth
it.
And if you can make money incollege too.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
You couldn't go try
your hand at the NFL off that
tape he put out last season.
Right, Exactly.
Speaker 1 (20:04):
And I think Coach
Knighton.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Yeah.
You got some hard asses now onthe defensive side of the ball
man Tony White is a big bigreason yeah, you're seeing the
night and day.
The coordinators right now arebest in the country Right.
The difference between him andAdam Fuller in terms of relating
to the players is Well.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
That's the biggest.
We got NFL picks tomorrow andwe'll talk to you right then,
right here on the North FloridaSports.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Network.
Everybody just do your job.
You understand that what?
