(01:21):
time on ABC.

Point favorite.
Jump on it.
Yeah, it's it's gone down.
So yeah.
I don't know why.
Well, people think FloridaState's gonna.
(01:43):
They were like, oh, well, it'ssix and a half.
I'll take that.
Yeah, that's true.
It was six, it was like five anda half or six and a half.
They're like, well, it's gonnabe a close game.
You know, and weary, and theymight win.
But if they they'll probablylose, it'll probably but I think
they'll keep it close.
So like I can see that bet.
When was when was the last fourand a half now?
(02:05):
When was the last single-digitgame?
I mean, look it up, man.
I don't have my phone.
SPEAKER_02 (02:15):
That's something that the producer needs to be
doing.
SPEAKER_00 (02:19):
Alright, well, uh.
SPEAKER_02 (02:22):
I believe it was the game that got Manny Diaz fired.
Fourth and 14.
SPEAKER_00 (02:30):
Well, there's been a lot of things.
Yeah, ooh, Hero Doke.
SPEAKER_01 (02:33):
I know we had one here at Doke recently.
Block at the Rock.
How was that that game?
SPEAKER_02 (02:38):
Yeah.
Oof.
Let's see.
Last year wasn't.
No.
The year before that wasn't.
2022 was not.
SPEAKER_00 (02:48):
23 was close.
SPEAKER_02 (02:49):
It wasn't single digits.
Uh was it?
No.
No.
SPEAKER_00 (02:54):
Alright.
Well, I mean historically.
SPEAKER_02 (02:57):
Yeah.
I think it was 2021.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, COVID year was a blowout.
SPEAKER_01 (03:11):
Scott, was the last time here at Doug Campbell where
Tyler Van Dyke didn't get thespike down in time?
SPEAKER_02 (03:16):
Yeah, yeah, it was that one.
SPEAKER_01 (03:18):
I was at that game.
SPEAKER_00 (03:20):
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's I mean, it's a closerivalry.
I go to this game a lot.
It's a close rivalry.
It's it's if there has it,there's been some historically
it's close.
Right.
When both teams are competitive.
Both teams, yes, last year wehad one team that was two and
ten.
All right.
So even in that game, they theyplayed probably.
(03:44):
Yeah.
You could tell why.
You know, so I think you'regoing to get a fun game.
You have two teams that haveweapons.
Miami's got a Miami has theadvantage at a lot of places.
Florida States, though, has hassome playmakers on the field.
I think this is going to be afun game.
What are your initial thoughts,Justin?
SPEAKER_01 (04:08):
Well, I actually I agree with a lot of what you're
saying.
Um I think uh this game's gonnabe decided like every Miami game
this year, by the line ofscrimmage on both sides.
And I've been saying all year,Miami's got the best line in the
country.
And Reuben Bain on defense is atop five pick.
I think Miami wins up front bothsides.
(04:31):
Um and yeah, I I mean I'm I'mfeeling pretty good going into
the game outside of it's Miamiand FFU, so I'm paranoid because
of that.
I mean, it'd be like if I wasplaying Georgia Tech, it were
better than Georgia Tech, but Iwould also be scared of
Schitler.
SPEAKER_04 (04:47):
I don't know.
SPEAKER_00 (04:48):
Georgia Tech, they almost lost away for us.
SPEAKER_01 (04:52):
Doesn't matter, Georgia Tech always beats us.
SPEAKER_00 (04:57):
Yeah.
Well, Kirk Hurtfried's coming.
Sneaking in like a scared littlebitch that he is.
Game Day is going to Vanderbilt,Alabama.
They were just looking for areason.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (05:12):
Cost us game day.
Man, how perfect would that havebeen, dude?
We'd have to game day and andy'all are doing the whole
weekhorse thing.
SPEAKER_00 (05:19):
Yeah, they wanted to come, not really, because they
went to Miami, Florida.
Why would they have to be a goodone?
SPEAKER_01 (05:25):
I know I'd have rather had them at this game.
SPEAKER_00 (05:27):
Why I that was quite that was when I was like, what
that was my radar went up, waslike, well, they're not coming.
Why would they go to the Miamigame two weeks before this game
against the Warfare?
Oh, yeah, like the Miami-Floridagame?
Like that, that top ten teams,that the god awful gators,
you're hosting the Gators,there's game day for that?
(05:50):
No, it's horse shit.
It's fine.
You gave them a reason.
You gave them a reason.
Now, I will say the VanderbiltAlabama is an intriguing
matchup, but they come on.
But it's Vanderbilt.
Yeah, they don't want to haveHerb Street booed the whole
time.
And not for a one-loss team.
If you would have won, if youwould have won, though, if they
(06:10):
would have Florida State wouldhave won, they would have had to
have come.
SPEAKER_01 (06:14):
Yeah, exactly.
That's what I was saying.
If Florida State didn't lose toVirginia, there would have been
no excuse.
SPEAKER_00 (06:19):
Yep.
Alright, but I think it's betterfor FSU's chances.
Alright, I'm gonna go thatroute.
Right?
I'm gonna say they're gonna needto go off to Virginia.
Yeah, I think FSU's gonna needall the help they can get.
And when I mean, I mean they'regonna need 100% focus, they're
gonna need attention to detail,they're gonna they're gonna need
(06:42):
because they're they're gonna,like you said, physicality,
they're going against an outthey're outmatched in a lot of
places.
So they're gonna have to fighttheir ass off and be in the
right spot to make game-changingplays.
Yep.
That's what they have to do.
Probably gotta hope that Miamidoesn't play their best game,
(07:04):
too.
Well, that yeah, that's where uhthat's pretty much what we're
saying.
Is like if you bait if bothteams play their best, Miami's
gonna win.
That's what Vegas is saying.
Yeah, that's what the lines aresaying.
But like you still, this is athis is a rivalry game.
It's at night, man.
SPEAKER_01 (07:21):
Like you never And you gotta take in the you gotta
consider the crystal ballshitting the bed tape.
SPEAKER_00 (07:29):
There's new coaches on Florida State side, so you
don't really know.
It could go either way there.
unknown (07:37):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (07:37):
New decent.
But wasn't Crystal Ball on uhSabin staff at Alabama when
Malzon was at Auburn?
SPEAKER_00 (07:43):
Yeah.
Yeah, this is a this is gonna bea fun matchup, man.
I have a I have a might beraining.
All right.
Think you're gonna see a lot ofrun of the football though.
I mean both sides are gonna run.
It's gonna be a lot of differentruns.
SPEAKER_01 (08:00):
You'll have yeah, no, Malzon's gonna have to
scheme it up against ourdefensive line, dude.
I mean, I don't think ourdefense has allowed 200 total
yards in offense yet thisseason.
SPEAKER_00 (08:08):
Oh, yeah, there's definitely gonna have that's
what I meant.
They're gonna have to be onassignment.
Everyone's gonna have to dotheir job, and they're gonna
have to catch the ball, don'tfumble the ball, make the
correct assignment and move theball.
And well on defense, they haveto line up correctly.
(08:29):
That's the first, and then theyhave to make Miami earn it.
And make Miami have to makethose tough throws, and and and
if they do it, tip your hat.
But give it make it hard.
Don't let them just hand it offright down the field.
Yeah.
You know, run blitz, make themhave to throw it.
(08:50):
You know, make him have to moveoff of his spot.
There's a lot of things FloridaState can do here.
And uh, but Miami, they'll haveto, they'll have a response.
I'm anxious to see that cat andmouse game.
Because it's gonna be a lot, theFlorida State's gonna come out
with something.
And I think Miami's gonna justlike, what are you gonna do?
(09:13):
We're gonna beat you, we'regonna just see what you're gonna
do first.
So I think that's FloridaState's best shot.
SPEAKER_01 (09:19):
Well, what I'm interested to see is uh from
what I'm hearing uh uh down atCoral Gables, dude, that um our
actual number one running backis uh supposed to play Saturday
night.
Jordan Lyle, the super, superfast guy.
And uh Jojo Tw JoJo Trader, thewide receiver, who uh I was
(09:40):
waiting to see all season,hasn't played yet, is supposed
to have his first game Saturdaynight, too.
So we're adding two more weaponsto that offense.
SPEAKER_02 (09:47):
Yeah, it's it's gonna be we're gonna be down
Ashlyn Barker at safety.
So that means walk on, DonnieAbbear is gonna be getting a lot
more time back there.
Hey.
I mean come on.
SPEAKER_03 (10:01):
You gotta give us a shot.
You know what?
SPEAKER_02 (10:03):
Giving anybody a shot.
Listen, I get it, it's arivalry.
Oh sure.
I just, you know, don't let itruin the rest of your season if
you're Florida State.
SPEAKER_00 (10:19):
Yes, and we'll get there.
We'll have plenty of time toreact to that.
But this is FSU Miami week.
Right.
And uh I think I think FloridaState is better than what they
showed against Virginia.
Now, I I don't think they're twotouchdowns better than Alabama,
like but again, that was But itjust goes to show you You'd
(10:43):
never seen any of those guysplay before if you're Alabama.
Right, right.
That's true.
And we'll see how much that tapecan uh if they can get something
off of it, if Miami's able toshut Florida State's offense
down, then it could get ugly.
Yeah.
But Florida State's best shot isto come out swinging, get on
(11:04):
top, and then don't screw it up.
Yeah, hold on to the game andmake it make it.
Keep it close and we can make itall the shit to bed.
Right.
Keep it close and make yeah,keep get that crowd into it,
make it to where, you know,similar.
Look what Virginia did lastweek.
I know I hate to bring it backup, but I mean they came out 14
(11:25):
to nothing, all like boom.
Yeah, there you go.
It's a game.
So if you come out withsomething like that, it's gonna
be a game.
Now you can't let Miami do that.
Then it's it could get ugly.
SPEAKER_02 (11:40):
That that's that's the part that's easier said than
done.
SPEAKER_00 (11:44):
Yeah, that's true.
There's it's you it you havetrouble seeing a team Well,
nobody's done it to Miami thisyear yet.
SPEAKER_02 (11:52):
Nobody's kept them from coming out and doing
exactly what they wanted as soonas they got the ball.
Right.
Yeah, the defense has been crazygood.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (12:01):
Offense, they I mean offense done why they do what
they have to do.
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (12:06):
I mean every game they've played, they've they've
gone on a long scoring drive toopen the game.
Yeah.
I mean, it's so again which haveall been at home.
SPEAKER_00 (12:17):
Right.
But so this is the first test.
And it's a college game, it'sdifferent on the road.
SPEAKER_02 (12:23):
It's a little different.
Yeah.
You're still not going to beoutnumbered fan-wise that much.
I mean, what, maybe 70-30?
Oh.
SPEAKER_01 (12:30):
Yeah, that's what I would say.
I mean, I've been to a shot.
You know what?
unknown (12:35):
No, no.
SPEAKER_01 (12:35):
I've been to enough FSU Miami games at Dokke, and
it's typically about a 70-30mix.
Yeah.
All right.
unknown (12:41):
All right.
SPEAKER_02 (12:42):
There's a difference between going on the road.
No.
No.
Not when Miami's good.
SPEAKER_01 (12:50):
Yeah, not when Miami's just ain't like 1997.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (12:55):
When Miami's not good and Florida State is, yeah.
We'll see.
SPEAKER_00 (12:58):
I I cocky cane fans are all ready to show up.
I I'll put money on that.
There's not 30% Miami fans.
They're gonna have a goodshowing, though.
I'm not saying they won't.
SPEAKER_02 (13:10):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (13:11):
Alright.
But um Florida State gettingfour and a half.
Both you guys taking Miami inthe in the bet there.
SPEAKER_02 (13:22):
Yeah, I'm I'm I'm I mean Yeah.
Yeah.
Until I see a single digitalgame of another kick.
SPEAKER_00 (13:31):
Right.
Well, I think Florida State hasto come out swinging.
I think they can do it.
But they can also lose.
So it's Yeah, they can loseanybody.
Right, but they can beat Miami.
And we'll we don't really knowthough.
We don't we'll we'll find we'regonna find out how good my how
good Miami is.
(13:51):
Because it looks really good.
SPEAKER_01 (13:52):
Florida State?
Yeah.
Florida State, I think, is isgood for at least one explosive
play on offense.
And I think Carson Beck's goodfor at least one interception.
So if y'all can parlay those twotwo things that I I'm almost for
sure is gonna happen, then youcould keep it in a cl you could
keep a close game.
And that's why I think it'sgonna be close.
I just don't think it's gonna beless than four points.
SPEAKER_02 (14:15):
Eight points is close.
Yeah.
38-30?
Yeah.
No.
28-20, something like that.
Like that that's close.
Yeah, I mean, better than I'dexpect.
SPEAKER_03 (14:27):
You gotta give us a shot.
You know what, dude?
SPEAKER_01 (14:31):
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of how I see the game.
I think between seven and tenpoints.
SPEAKER_00 (14:36):
I think he's gonna be a uh we'll see if he can get
over the top on Miami's defense.
SPEAKER_01 (14:42):
You got I heard he was gonna try out for the FFC
circus to be a juggler.
SPEAKER_00 (14:46):
Yeah, he might have to juggle that.
Uh jiggle jiggle.
White still alive.
Is he still alive?
Yeah, he's gonna be.
Roadkill.
SPEAKER_01 (14:57):
Yeah, that was ridiculous.
It was like the running of thebulls and stuff.
It really was, man.
SPEAKER_00 (15:01):
It was insane.
SPEAKER_02 (15:02):
They were out there fast.
Like that hot shots part twomovie where Charlie Sheen gets
smashed into the groundcompletely flat.
I'm glad he's alright, though.
Yeah, shit's scary.
Yeah.
I mean, the Virginia playersthat were down there could have
gotten a lot of things.
SPEAKER_00 (15:16):
Right.
I think they were helping eacheach other out, right?
Hugging for safety.
They're like, we gotta just makea make a view.
Make a view, guys.
Use your body heat.
Florida State, Miami coming up.
Miami's dominant offense, theirnew look, dominant defense with
(15:40):
big bad bane.
SPEAKER_02 (15:42):
When you recruit elite levels in the trenches,
eventually you get to thispoint.
And that's what Miami's done.
SPEAKER_00 (15:50):
Slowly, we've seen it slowly happen.
Yeah.
And uh Florida State continuesto just go through the transfer
portal.
Florida State won the game, butyou could be like, all right,
Miami's getting the guys on theinterior line.
We can go back and listen to theshow.
SPEAKER_01 (16:04):
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
When we hired Crystal Ball, itwas the first thing I said.
I was like, he can recruit, buthe'll choke games away, and he
knows how to build the offensivedefensive line.
And that's what he does.
And I I also I was like, fouryears, the talent will overcome
his idiot coaching.
And that's where we're at rightnow.
SPEAKER_00 (16:23):
Yep.
We'll find out.
This is a big game for Miami.
They're going into a bye week.
Coming off a bye week, goinginto a bye week.
Yeah, so like this is right onthe schedule, they're even
telling you.
It's like, this is it, Miami.
You gotta win this one.
You can't blow it.
Go on a road to Louisville.
(16:43):
Hey.
Now Louisville.
Louisville's ass.
Yeah, I think this is it.
Yeah, this is it.
This is a game for Miami tolose.
If they're gonna lose.
If they're gonna lose, yeah.
Four playoffs if not, I thinkWhich they could do, because
like I mean they could crystalball it, but this will be the
I'll never discount a goodcrystal ball.
SPEAKER_01 (17:04):
Yeah.
I mean, like losing to like aLouisville or a pit or something
like that randomly out ofnowhere.
That's what he does.
SPEAKER_00 (17:12):
Right.
But uh they'll be ready for thisgame.
Yeah.
So I think both teams will beready.
I think you're gonna have a goodgame.
I'm hoping.
SPEAKER_01 (17:20):
It's my it's my favorite game, pro or college,
every single season, dude.
I'll I'll take I'll take FSUMiami game over the Super Bowl
all day, every day.
SPEAKER_00 (17:30):
Just gonna have to get interesting.
Um, you got Pittman on offensefloor state, who had a throwing
touchdown, a catching touchdown,and a rushing touchdown.
And a rushing touchdown.
So he was one of your few brightspots.
Uh man, uh, there's a lot ofweapons on the field.
SPEAKER_01 (17:51):
And you know Miles Allen's gonna have something up
his feet.
SPEAKER_00 (17:54):
Yeah, there's he's gonna have something.
So, and I'm anxious to see.
There's gonna be a moment whereCarson Beck's gonna have to step
in there and make a play.
Yeah.
Those are those will be themoments where Florida State will
have to take advantage of andmaybe get that play.
And then if you're Miami, yougotta see what he's made of and
(18:17):
see if he can make that play.
Right?
Because those, I mean, it'sgonna happen.
There's gonna be it's gonna be acrazy environment.
But he's he's been there beforein the SEC.
SPEAKER_02 (18:28):
Um, I think this is almost like a I don't think he
played with skill players inabundance the way he has this
year with Miami.
I think people get a little bitahead of their skis because he
played at Georgia and theyfigure, oh man, he must have had
you know all this talent aroundhim, and it's nah, he had Brock
(18:51):
Powers.
He had Brock Powers.
And that dude was elite.
Right.
But his receivers at Georgiasucked.
SPEAKER_01 (19:02):
His best receiver last year in Georgia was
probably Colby Young, the Miamitransfer.
SPEAKER_02 (19:07):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (19:08):
And now he's got I mean, he couldn't get on the
field.
SPEAKER_02 (19:13):
It's gonna be a very tough task for Tony White.
Well, you better earn yourmoney, Tony.
Keep this shit close.
Trying to get embarrassed.
SPEAKER_03 (19:24):
You gotta give us a shot.
You know what?
You will get no shot, sir.
You gotta give us a shot.
You know what?
SPEAKER_02 (19:31):
Again, just don't lose the don't lose the pit, god
damn it.
I'm already there.
I've been there for three days.
SPEAKER_00 (19:46):
Alright, we gotta get on out of here then.
Because he's already there.
SPEAKER_02 (19:50):
You know what sucks though?
SPEAKER_00 (19:51):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (19:54):
If you win against Virginia, then this game right
here, it doesn't really matterfor either side outside of, you
know, brag and rights rivalry.
SPEAKER_00 (20:03):
Right.
So now it's if you lose, it'snot really a bad, it's kind of a
bad loss for Miami if you'reMiami.
SPEAKER_02 (20:11):
Well, even if you're Miami, if Miami loses this game
somehow and then wins out,they're still going to play.
SPEAKER_00 (20:16):
Well, Florida State is not a championship team this
year.
Right.
So but it doesn't mean theycan't win this game.
No, that's not what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_02 (20:24):
But yeah, you're right, I guess.
SPEAKER_00 (20:26):
I just don't think the roster is where Miami sits.
I think it it has you gotta justbuild it right.
You gotta keep doing what you'redoing and finding players and
paying.
SPEAKER_02 (20:36):
Yeah, you gotta get it.
SPEAKER_00 (20:37):
It's gonna be hard to be getting them.
It's gonna be harder.
You're gonna have to find thoseright the right guys to keep
going.
SPEAKER_02 (20:43):
You gotta get some guys in our group.
Yeah, it's a whole other story.
SPEAKER_00 (20:49):
Can't have a coach of death that thinks that they
can just find any old slop thatwants to come here and he put a
lot of pressure on himself bylosing to Virginia.
I'll say that.
Because you win againstVirginia, I I hey you lose to
Miami, keep it rolling, stillalive, keep it rolling, right?
You're still like you were 2-10last year.
(21:11):
Don't look at that loss toMiami.
We beat Alabama.
SPEAKER_02 (21:14):
You know, at the end of the season, everybody lost to
Miami, right?
Right?
That's not gonna get heldagainst us.
SPEAKER_00 (21:19):
Yeah, that was a bad loss.
So the only way to fix it is nowyou gotta come around and you
gotta talk it.
You gotta talk the world again.
SPEAKER_02 (21:27):
Otherwise, you're uh back to well, I gotta motivate
these guys not to shut down.
SPEAKER_00 (21:31):
Well, honestly, this team is gonna do that.
They could easily they couldbeat Miami and then lose another
game at NC State.
SPEAKER_02 (21:41):
Yeah, I expect.
Not to beat Miami, but to loseanother game.
SPEAKER_00 (21:46):
I think they're gonna fight hard.
I think it's gonna be a fungame.
SPEAKER_02 (21:51):
I actually hope it doesn't come down to a kick.
I don't give a shit.
SPEAKER_00 (21:54):
Oh my god, I can't handle that stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (21:56):
I always hope it comes down to a kick.
SPEAKER_00 (21:58):
A kick.
Okay.
Jeez.
Well, uh, we got NFL pickscoming up.
We'll have the updated rankingsfor you.
SPEAKER_02 (22:05):

Knocked.

It was six, it was like five anda half or six and a half.
They're like, well, it's gonnabe a close game.
You know, and weary, and theymight win.
But if they they'll probablylose, it'll probably but I think
they'll keep it close.
So like I can see that bet.
When was when was the last fourand a half now?
(02:05):
When was the last single-digitgame?
I mean, look it up, man.
I don't have my phone.
SPEAKER_02 (02:15):
That's something that the producer needs to be
doing.
SPEAKER_00 (02:19):
Alright, well, uh.
SPEAKER_02 (02:22):
I believe it was the game that got Manny Diaz fired.
Fourth and 14.
SPEAKER_00 (02:30):
Well, there's been a lot of things.
Yeah, ooh, Hero Doke.
SPEAKER_01 (02:33):
I know we had one here at Doke recently.
Block at the Rock.
How was that that game?
SPEAKER_02 (02:38):
Yeah.
Oof.
Let's see.
Last year wasn't.
No.
The year before that wasn't.
2022 was not.
SPEAKER_00 (02:48):
23 was close.
SPEAKER_02 (02:49):
It wasn't single digits.
Uh was it?
No.
No.
SPEAKER_00 (02:54):
Alright.
Well, I mean historically.
SPEAKER_02 (02:57):
Yeah.
I think it was 2021.
No, no, no, no, no.
Yeah, COVID year was a blowout.
SPEAKER_01 (03:11):
Scott, was the last time here at Doug Campbell where
Tyler Van Dyke didn't get thespike down in time?
SPEAKER_02 (03:16):
Yeah, yeah, it was that one.
SPEAKER_01 (03:18):
I was at that game.
SPEAKER_00 (03:20):
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's I mean, it's a closerivalry.
I go to this game a lot.
It's a close rivalry.
It's it's if there has it,there's been some historically
it's close.
Right.
When both teams are competitive.
Both teams, yes, last year wehad one team that was two and
ten.
All right.
So even in that game, they theyplayed probably.
(03:44):
Yeah.
You could tell why.
You know, so I think you'regoing to get a fun game.
You have two teams that haveweapons.
Miami's got a Miami has theadvantage at a lot of places.
Florida States, though, has hassome playmakers on the field.
I think this is going to be afun game.
What are your initial thoughts,Justin?
SPEAKER_01 (04:08):
Well, I actually I agree with a lot of what you're
saying.
Um I think uh this game's gonnabe decided like every Miami game
this year, by the line ofscrimmage on both sides.
And I've been saying all year,Miami's got the best line in the
country.
And Reuben Bain on defense is atop five pick.
I think Miami wins up front bothsides.
(04:31):
Um and yeah, I I mean I'm I'mfeeling pretty good going into
the game outside of it's Miamiand FFU, so I'm paranoid because
of that.
I mean, it'd be like if I wasplaying Georgia Tech, it were
better than Georgia Tech, but Iwould also be scared of
Schitler.
SPEAKER_04 (04:47):
I don't know.
SPEAKER_00 (04:48):
Georgia Tech, they almost lost away for us.
SPEAKER_01 (04:52):
Doesn't matter, Georgia Tech always beats us.
SPEAKER_00 (04:57):
Yeah.
Well, Kirk Hurtfried's coming.
Sneaking in like a scared littlebitch that he is.
Game Day is going to Vanderbilt,Alabama.
They were just looking for areason.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (05:12):
Cost us game day.
Man, how perfect would that havebeen, dude?
We'd have to game day and andy'all are doing the whole
weekhorse thing.
SPEAKER_00 (05:19):
Yeah, they wanted to come, not really, because they
went to Miami, Florida.
Why would they have to be a goodone?
SPEAKER_01 (05:25):
I know I'd have rather had them at this game.
SPEAKER_00 (05:27):
Why I that was quite that was when I was like, what
that was my radar went up, waslike, well, they're not coming.
Why would they go to the Miamigame two weeks before this game
against the Warfare?
Oh, yeah, like the Miami-Floridagame?
Like that, that top ten teams,that the god awful gators,
you're hosting the Gators,there's game day for that?
(05:50):
No, it's horse shit.
It's fine.
You gave them a reason.
You gave them a reason.
Now, I will say the VanderbiltAlabama is an intriguing
matchup, but they come on.
But it's Vanderbilt.
Yeah, they don't want to haveHerb Street booed the whole
time.
And not for a one-loss team.
If you would have won, if youwould have won, though, if they
(06:10):
would have Florida State wouldhave won, they would have had to
have come.
SPEAKER_01 (06:14):
Yeah, exactly.
That's what I was saying.
If Florida State didn't lose toVirginia, there would have been
no excuse.
SPEAKER_00 (06:19):
Yep.
Alright, but I think it's betterfor FSU's chances.
Alright, I'm gonna go thatroute.
Right?
I'm gonna say they're gonna needto go off to Virginia.
Yeah, I think FSU's gonna needall the help they can get.
And when I mean, I mean they'regonna need 100% focus, they're
gonna need attention to detail,they're gonna they're gonna need
(06:42):
because they're they're gonna,like you said, physicality,
they're going against an outthey're outmatched in a lot of
places.
So they're gonna have to fighttheir ass off and be in the
right spot to make game-changingplays.
Yep.
That's what they have to do.
Probably gotta hope that Miamidoesn't play their best game,
(07:04):
too.
Well, that yeah, that's where uhthat's pretty much what we're
saying.
Is like if you bait if bothteams play their best, Miami's
gonna win.
That's what Vegas is saying.
Yeah, that's what the lines aresaying.
But like you still, this is athis is a rivalry game.
It's at night, man.
SPEAKER_01 (07:21):
Like you never And you gotta take in the you gotta
consider the crystal ballshitting the bed tape.
SPEAKER_00 (07:29):
There's new coaches on Florida State side, so you
don't really know.
It could go either way there.
unknown (07:37):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (07:37):
New decent.
But wasn't Crystal Ball on uhSabin staff at Alabama when
Malzon was at Auburn?
SPEAKER_00 (07:43):
Yeah.
Yeah, this is a this is gonna bea fun matchup, man.
I have a I have a might beraining.
All right.
Think you're gonna see a lot ofrun of the football though.
I mean both sides are gonna run.
It's gonna be a lot of differentruns.
SPEAKER_01 (08:00):
You'll have yeah, no, Malzon's gonna have to
scheme it up against ourdefensive line, dude.
I mean, I don't think ourdefense has allowed 200 total
yards in offense yet thisseason.
SPEAKER_00 (08:08):
Oh, yeah, there's definitely gonna have that's
what I meant.
They're gonna have to be onassignment.
Everyone's gonna have to dotheir job, and they're gonna
have to catch the ball, don'tfumble the ball, make the
correct assignment and move theball.
And well on defense, they haveto line up correctly.
(08:29):
That's the first, and then theyhave to make Miami earn it.
And make Miami have to makethose tough throws, and and and
if they do it, tip your hat.
But give it make it hard.
Don't let them just hand it offright down the field.
Yeah.
You know, run blitz, make themhave to throw it.
(08:50):
You know, make him have to moveoff of his spot.
There's a lot of things FloridaState can do here.
And uh, but Miami, they'll haveto, they'll have a response.
I'm anxious to see that cat andmouse game.
Because it's gonna be a lot, theFlorida State's gonna come out
with something.
And I think Miami's gonna justlike, what are you gonna do?
(09:13):
We're gonna beat you, we'regonna just see what you're gonna
do first.
So I think that's FloridaState's best shot.
SPEAKER_01 (09:19):
Well, what I'm interested to see is uh from
what I'm hearing uh uh down atCoral Gables, dude, that um our
actual number one running backis uh supposed to play Saturday
night.
Jordan Lyle, the super, superfast guy.
And uh Jojo Tw JoJo Trader, thewide receiver, who uh I was
(09:40):
waiting to see all season,hasn't played yet, is supposed
to have his first game Saturdaynight, too.
So we're adding two more weaponsto that offense.
SPEAKER_02 (09:47):
Yeah, it's it's gonna be we're gonna be down
Ashlyn Barker at safety.
So that means walk on, DonnieAbbear is gonna be getting a lot
more time back there.
Hey.
I mean come on.
SPEAKER_03 (10:01):
You gotta give us a shot.
You know what?
SPEAKER_02 (10:03):
Giving anybody a shot.
Listen, I get it, it's arivalry.
Oh sure.
I just, you know, don't let itruin the rest of your season if
you're Florida State.
SPEAKER_00 (10:19):
Yes, and we'll get there.
We'll have plenty of time toreact to that.
But this is FSU Miami week.
Right.
And uh I think I think FloridaState is better than what they
showed against Virginia.
Now, I I don't think they're twotouchdowns better than Alabama,
like but again, that was But itjust goes to show you You'd
(10:43):
never seen any of those guysplay before if you're Alabama.
Right, right.
That's true.
And we'll see how much that tapecan uh if they can get something
off of it, if Miami's able toshut Florida State's offense
down, then it could get ugly.
Yeah.
But Florida State's best shot isto come out swinging, get on
(11:04):
top, and then don't screw it up.
Yeah, hold on to the game andmake it make it.
Keep it close and we can make itall the shit to bed.
Right.
Keep it close and make yeah,keep get that crowd into it,
make it to where, you know,similar.
Look what Virginia did lastweek.
I know I hate to bring it backup, but I mean they came out 14
(11:25):
to nothing, all like boom.
Yeah, there you go.
It's a game.
So if you come out withsomething like that, it's gonna
be a game.
Now you can't let Miami do that.
Then it's it could get ugly.
SPEAKER_02 (11:40):
That that's that's the part that's easier said than
done.
SPEAKER_00 (11:44):
Yeah, that's true.
There's it's you it you havetrouble seeing a team Well,
nobody's done it to Miami thisyear yet.
SPEAKER_02 (11:52):
Nobody's kept them from coming out and doing
exactly what they wanted as soonas they got the ball.
Right.
Yeah, the defense has been crazygood.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_00 (12:01):
Offense, they I mean offense done why they do what
they have to do.
Right.
SPEAKER_02 (12:06):
I mean every game they've played, they've they've
gone on a long scoring drive toopen the game.
Yeah.
I mean, it's so again which haveall been at home.
SPEAKER_00 (12:17):
Right.
But so this is the first test.
And it's a college game, it'sdifferent on the road.
SPEAKER_02 (12:23):
It's a little different.
Yeah.
You're still not going to beoutnumbered fan-wise that much.
I mean, what, maybe 70-30?
Oh.
SPEAKER_01 (12:30):
Yeah, that's what I would say.
I mean, I've been to a shot.
You know what?
unknown (12:35):
No, no.
SPEAKER_01 (12:35):
I've been to enough FSU Miami games at Dokke, and
it's typically about a 70-30mix.
Yeah.
All right.
unknown (12:41):
All right.
SPEAKER_02 (12:42):
There's a difference between going on the road.
No.
No.
Not when Miami's good.
SPEAKER_01 (12:50):
Yeah, not when Miami's just ain't like 1997.
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (12:55):
When Miami's not good and Florida State is, yeah.
We'll see.
SPEAKER_00 (12:58):
I I cocky cane fans are all ready to show up.
I I'll put money on that.
There's not 30% Miami fans.
They're gonna have a goodshowing, though.
I'm not saying they won't.
SPEAKER_02 (13:10):
Right.
SPEAKER_00 (13:11):
Alright.
But um Florida State gettingfour and a half.
Both you guys taking Miami inthe in the bet there.
SPEAKER_02 (13:22):
Yeah, I'm I'm I'm I mean Yeah.
Yeah.
Until I see a single digitalgame of another kick.
SPEAKER_00 (13:31):
Right.
Well, I think Florida State hasto come out swinging.
I think they can do it.
But they can also lose.
So it's Yeah, they can loseanybody.
Right, but they can beat Miami.
And we'll we don't really knowthough.
We don't we'll we'll find we'regonna find out how good my how
good Miami is.
(13:51):
Because it looks really good.
SPEAKER_01 (13:52):
Florida State?
Yeah.
Florida State, I think, is isgood for at least one explosive
play on offense.
And I think Carson Beck's goodfor at least one interception.
So if y'all can parlay those twotwo things that I I'm almost for
sure is gonna happen, then youcould keep it in a cl you could
keep a close game.
And that's why I think it'sgonna be close.
I just don't think it's gonna beless than four points.
SPEAKER_02 (14:15):
Eight points is close.
Yeah.
38-30?
Yeah.
No.
28-20, something like that.
Like that that's close.
Yeah, I mean, better than I'dexpect.
SPEAKER_03 (14:27):
You gotta give us a shot.
You know what, dude?
SPEAKER_01 (14:31):
Yeah, I mean, that's kind of how I see the game.
I think between seven and tenpoints.
SPEAKER_00 (14:36):
I think he's gonna be a uh we'll see if he can get
over the top on Miami's defense.
SPEAKER_01 (14:42):
You got I heard he was gonna try out for the FFC
circus to be a juggler.
SPEAKER_00 (14:46):
Yeah, he might have to juggle that.
Uh jiggle jiggle.
White still alive.
Is he still alive?
Yeah, he's gonna be.
Roadkill.
SPEAKER_01 (14:57):
Yeah, that was ridiculous.
It was like the running of thebulls and stuff.
It really was, man.
SPEAKER_00 (15:01):
It was insane.
SPEAKER_02 (15:02):
They were out there fast.
Like that hot shots part twomovie where Charlie Sheen gets
smashed into the groundcompletely flat.
I'm glad he's alright, though.
Yeah, shit's scary.
Yeah.
I mean, the Virginia playersthat were down there could have
gotten a lot of things.
SPEAKER_00 (15:16):
Right.
I think they were helping eacheach other out, right?
Hugging for safety.
They're like, we gotta just makea make a view.
Make a view, guys.
Use your body heat.
Florida State, Miami coming up.
Miami's dominant offense, theirnew look, dominant defense with
(15:40):
big bad bane.
SPEAKER_02 (15:42):
When you recruit elite levels in the trenches,
eventually you get to thispoint.
And that's what Miami's done.
SPEAKER_00 (15:50):
Slowly, we've seen it slowly happen.
Yeah.
And uh Florida State continuesto just go through the transfer
portal.
Florida State won the game, butyou could be like, all right,
Miami's getting the guys on theinterior line.
We can go back and listen to theshow.
SPEAKER_01 (16:04):
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly.
When we hired Crystal Ball, itwas the first thing I said.
I was like, he can recruit, buthe'll choke games away, and he
knows how to build the offensivedefensive line.
And that's what he does.
And I I also I was like, fouryears, the talent will overcome
his idiot coaching.
And that's where we're at rightnow.
SPEAKER_00 (16:23):
Yep.
We'll find out.
This is a big game for Miami.
They're going into a bye week.
Coming off a bye week, goinginto a bye week.
Yeah, so like this is right onthe schedule, they're even
telling you.
It's like, this is it, Miami.
You gotta win this one.
You can't blow it.
Go on a road to Louisville.
(16:43):
Hey.
Now Louisville.
Louisville's ass.
Yeah, I think this is it.
Yeah, this is it.
This is a game for Miami tolose.
If they're gonna lose.
If they're gonna lose, yeah.
Four playoffs if not, I thinkWhich they could do, because
like I mean they could crystalball it, but this will be the
I'll never discount a goodcrystal ball.
SPEAKER_01 (17:04):
Yeah.
I mean, like losing to like aLouisville or a pit or something
like that randomly out ofnowhere.
That's what he does.
SPEAKER_00 (17:12):
Right.
But uh they'll be ready for thisgame.
Yeah.
So I think both teams will beready.
I think you're gonna have a goodgame.
I'm hoping.
SPEAKER_01 (17:20):
It's my it's my favorite game, pro or college,
every single season, dude.
I'll I'll take I'll take FSUMiami game over the Super Bowl
all day, every day.
SPEAKER_00 (17:30):
Just gonna have to get interesting.
Um, you got Pittman on offensefloor state, who had a throwing
touchdown, a catching touchdown,and a rushing touchdown.
And a rushing touchdown.
So he was one of your few brightspots.
Uh man, uh, there's a lot ofweapons on the field.
SPEAKER_01 (17:51):
And you know Miles Allen's gonna have something up
his feet.
SPEAKER_00 (17:54):
Yeah, there's he's gonna have something.
So, and I'm anxious to see.
There's gonna be a moment whereCarson Beck's gonna have to step
in there and make a play.
Yeah.
Those are those will be themoments where Florida State will
have to take advantage of andmaybe get that play.
And then if you're Miami, yougotta see what he's made of and
(18:17):
see if he can make that play.
Right?
Because those, I mean, it'sgonna happen.
There's gonna be it's gonna be acrazy environment.
But he's he's been there beforein the SEC.
SPEAKER_02 (18:28):
Um, I think this is almost like a I don't think he
played with skill players inabundance the way he has this
year with Miami.
I think people get a little bitahead of their skis because he
played at Georgia and theyfigure, oh man, he must have had
you know all this talent aroundhim, and it's nah, he had Brock
(18:51):
Powers.
He had Brock Powers.
And that dude was elite.
Right.
But his receivers at Georgiasucked.
SPEAKER_01 (19:02):
His best receiver last year in Georgia was
probably Colby Young, the Miamitransfer.
SPEAKER_02 (19:07):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_01 (19:08):
And now he's got I mean, he couldn't get on the
field.
SPEAKER_02 (19:13):
It's gonna be a very tough task for Tony White.
Well, you better earn yourmoney, Tony.
Keep this shit close.
Trying to get embarrassed.
SPEAKER_03 (19:24):
You gotta give us a shot.
You know what?
You will get no shot, sir.
You gotta give us a shot.
You know what?
SPEAKER_02 (19:31):
Again, just don't lose the don't lose the pit, god
damn it.
I'm already there.
I've been there for three days.
SPEAKER_00 (19:46):
Alright, we gotta get on out of here then.
Because he's already there.
SPEAKER_02 (19:50):
You know what sucks though?
SPEAKER_00 (19:51):
Yeah.
SPEAKER_02 (19:54):
If you win against Virginia, then this game right
here, it doesn't really matterfor either side outside of, you
know, brag and rights rivalry.
SPEAKER_00 (20:03):
Right.
So now it's if you lose, it'snot really a bad, it's kind of a
bad loss for Miami if you'reMiami.
SPEAKER_02 (20:11):
Well, even if you're Miami, if Miami loses this game
somehow and then wins out,they're still going to play.
SPEAKER_00 (20:16):
Well, Florida State is not a championship team this
year.
Right.
So but it doesn't mean theycan't win this game.
No, that's not what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_02 (20:24):
But yeah, you're right, I guess.
SPEAKER_00 (20:26):
I just don't think the roster is where Miami sits.
I think it it has you gotta justbuild it right.
You gotta keep doing what you'redoing and finding players and
paying.
SPEAKER_02 (20:36):
Yeah, you gotta get it.
SPEAKER_00 (20:37):
It's gonna be hard to be getting them.
It's gonna be harder.
You're gonna have to find thoseright the right guys to keep
going.
SPEAKER_02 (20:43):
You gotta get some guys in our group.
Yeah, it's a whole other story.
SPEAKER_00 (20:49):
Can't have a coach of death that thinks that they
can just find any old slop thatwants to come here and he put a
lot of pressure on himself bylosing to Virginia.
I'll say that.
Because you win againstVirginia, I I hey you lose to
Miami, keep it rolling, stillalive, keep it rolling, right?
You're still like you were 2-10last year.
(21:11):
Don't look at that loss toMiami.
We beat Alabama.
SPEAKER_02 (21:14):
You know, at the end of the season, everybody lost to
Miami, right?
Right?
That's not gonna get heldagainst us.
SPEAKER_00 (21:19):
Yeah, that was a bad loss.
So the only way to fix it is nowyou gotta come around and you
gotta talk it.
You gotta talk the world again.
SPEAKER_02 (21:27):
Otherwise, you're uh back to well, I gotta motivate
these guys not to shut down.
SPEAKER_00 (21:31):
Well, honestly, this team is gonna do that.
They could easily they couldbeat Miami and then lose another
game at NC State.
SPEAKER_02 (21:41):
Yeah, I expect.
Not to beat Miami, but to loseanother game.
SPEAKER_00 (21:46):
I think they're gonna fight hard.
I think it's gonna be a fungame.
SPEAKER_02 (21:51):
I actually hope it doesn't come down to a kick.
I don't give a shit.
SPEAKER_00 (21:54):
Oh my god, I can't handle that stuff.
SPEAKER_01 (21:56):
I always hope it comes down to a kick.
SPEAKER_00 (21:58):
A kick.
Okay.
Jeez.
Well, uh, we got NFL pickscoming up.
We'll have the updated rankingsfor you.
SPEAKER_02 (22:05):
Ooh, man.
Knocked.
SPEAKER_00 (22:08):
Some bad beats again.
SPEAKER_01 (22:12):
At least I didn't get the Cowboys game wrong.
SPEAKER_00 (22:14):
Yeah, we'll update the standings and we'll talk to
you then right here on the NorthFlorida Sports Network.
