Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Is the best of two pros and a couple, Joe
with LaVar airings and rating win and Jonas Knox on
Box Radio.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
The man himself, he's our new Monday tradition, senior NFL
columnist for CBS Sports, CBS Sports HQ analyst. You can
get him on X if you want that smoke at
Prisco CBS Peak in morning.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
I probably said sound even better on that speaker than
I do when I'm just normally all right.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
I got bad and that's tough to beat. You like
your voice, Peat, I do like my.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Do you like yours? LaVar?

Speaker 4 (00:42):
Damn sight out the gates? Gooding after you?

Speaker 5 (00:44):
LaVar my voice?

Speaker 4 (00:45):
It's all right? Sorry, Pete, Sorry, You're.

Speaker 3 (00:49):
Like you're like Barry White back in the day. You know.

Speaker 6 (00:53):
Wow, uh, Pete, you've been covering the league for a
long time, over thirty years. Have you ever seen a
week I'd like to have we had that many block
kits that were influential on the outcome of games.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
No, never, It was incredible every and you know what's
going to happen this week. Every single team in the
league is going to be spending the extra time working
on their field goal protection unit. I mean, it was
and it happened like right, all at the same time
you had the one in Philly, yeah, the one in Tampa,
and then you had the Cleveland one, where god, they
could have picked that up and won the game without

(01:25):
even having to kick a field goal if they had,
you know, they played made to play the right way.
So it's it's look, I hate special teams, you know that,
but but it added to the drama on Sunday. And
there's nothing like this league. Every single game comes down
to the end, everyone, with the exception of a few
each week, and that's what makes it such.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
A great league. Why do you hate special teams?

Speaker 3 (01:49):
I like playing football, I mean kicking and punting, and
it's just this should have never been my thing. I mean,
you know, field goal kickers have all damn day to
stand around with their and they're snapper in their holder
and they stand on another field and they kick all
day and then they get the game and the yankets
in the left I mean, come on, your job is
to make the dampkick. Make the damp kick, and you know,

(02:10):
and then the kickoff rules have made it so complicated
and now now the new thing is, well I'm inside
my flyve so I'm gonna field my punts. What are
these guys doing? It used to be if your feet
were inside the ten, you don't field it. Now I
hear it's the eight. What are we doing? The ball?
Let the ball go nine times out of ten is
going to go into the end zone for a touchback?

Speaker 4 (02:30):
What are they doing?

Speaker 5 (02:31):
I don't think that's right.

Speaker 6 (02:33):
I think these punters have gotten so good at being
able to back that thing up that now they're they're like, hey,
if we let it balance, someone's going to the kick
coverage team, someone's gonna be able to down inside the five.

Speaker 5 (02:44):
So maybe that's something to do with Oh.

Speaker 3 (02:46):
Wait, so wait, so let me stand on the on
the seven or eight and fair catch it rather than
take a chance to figure that's going to go into
the end zone. Break Come on yet, me break.

Speaker 6 (02:54):
I'm just telling you, these putters are not like what
you were accustomed to twenty thirty years ago, you first
guy in the league.

Speaker 5 (03:01):
These kids do this for the regular.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Let's let's say he backs it up. Okay, it ball
hits on the two and he backs it up to
the five, So it's worth the risks for three yards
or two yards.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
Yeah, because that difference really allows your punter if you're
surely just trying to create enough space to punt, that
allows them actually have room putters stand fourteen yards. Back
to the little snapper, I know you knew all this
because you fall in the league forever. But yeah, that's
actually the difference of a potential pump block and then
changing the entire operations and then those three yards.

Speaker 5 (03:32):
So yes, that actually makes a big difference.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
No, it's not worth it. It's not worth it. It's
not worth it. It just isn't worth.

Speaker 6 (03:36):
Good argument, Pete, Pete, I'm gonna give you a number
of I'm gonna give you a number of Oh, let's
move on.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
You lost that one. We'll move on. Which team that's
oh in three? Right now? Are you in panic?

Speaker 6 (03:46):
Milling on the Dolphins, Titans, Texans, Giants. I'm not gonna
include Saints that no one really cares about them.

Speaker 3 (03:56):
Ah, oh wow, you took a shot the Saints to
have to do.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
Okay, well, they don't have expectations in bow of the Jets.
I should have include the Jets.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
Do you want me to ask who the worst of
that group is?

Speaker 5 (04:08):
Well, no, I think I've got an idea. Who're gonna
say for that.

Speaker 6 (04:11):
I'm just saying, which one of those three You're like,
this is actually a good football team?

Speaker 5 (04:14):
And if they don't win this week, it's done. It's over.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
The Texans. The Texans defense is really good, the Texans
offense thinks, and then their schedule is absolutely brutal, and
they play the other three Titans this week. So if
they don't win this game, they're finished. They're over, they're done.
I mean, you look at their schedule, if you just
take a glance down, they'll be Even if they beat

(04:38):
the Titans, they're gonna be hard pressed to win five
or six games. That's how bad that schedule is. And
they're not good. And remember all off season we've hat
the offensive line's gonna be so much better. On the
offensive line, they've gotten worse. Dj Stroud's going to be
improved because of the offensive line. He's got worse. Nico
Collins could make plays. You got nobody else. The team
isn't very good right now on the offensive side of

(04:59):
the ball. And it shows up. Oh and they can
turn around a hand off to a running back who
is sixty five years old and his knees have been
gone for three years. I mean, it's just they need
to change Woody Marx needs to play running backs. Look,
it's that. It's this cruel reality the NFL. You get old,
you get injured, and you can't run the ball like
you su. Nick Chubbles once a great back, he's not anymore.
So play Woody marks the offensive line. They got rid

(05:20):
of their left tackle and they've gotten worse. And then
you know, receivers, you gotta start playing those younger guys
and get him involved in the passing game. So I
think they have major problems and they're the biggest disappointment
right now.

Speaker 4 (05:31):
Pete.

Speaker 7 (05:31):
Are the Colts fools gold or should we be believers
in Daniel Jones in this team.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
I'm not a believer yet. And I said that last
night on our show, and everybody got all over me.
I said, you know what the record is, the combined
records the teams they've beaten this at one in eight
and okay, well you got to beat who you play.
I get it. But they beat the Titans and the Dolphins,
and those two teams are awful. So let's hold off
on the coronation of Daniel Jones getting everything that was

(05:58):
bad in his game out by Kevin O'Connell and Minnesota,
and now he's on to bigger and better things. Is
he playing better football? Yes, but let's be real, look
at the competition hadn't been great. They beat the Broncos
at home, probably shouldn't have won that game either, and
then they beat Miami and Tennessee, who are basically, you know,
roadblocks on the I mean the you know speed bumps

(06:20):
on the road when you're trying to.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Get through it.

Speaker 3 (06:21):
That's what they are.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Ah, what y'all?

Speaker 3 (06:24):
You never it looks it all. It's just like remember
last week Jig Browning, Oh my god, he was four
and great. Jay Browning was four and three when he played.

Speaker 6 (06:37):
We took a different stance on that one, Pete. We
were just more excited about who would be coming a CJ.
Clark Browning play, So we kind of took a different
stance on that. I look at the Browns Packers the
way that game ended.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
A couple of things.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
Is Miles Garrett the best defensive player in the league.
I mean they were a trip a team game at
sometimes at some points.

Speaker 3 (07:00):
What he is right now, yeah, I mean the other
guy on the other side wasn't getting triple team, was he?
I didn't think so. I mean, you know, Michael Parsons, I.

Speaker 4 (07:06):
Saw Judkins ship him and knock him down.

Speaker 3 (07:09):
He chipped him and knocked him down. And he didn't
look like he liked that chip very much, did he?
Because they never liked the chip? And and the other
guy's getting triple team the entire game. I mean, yeah,
if you asked me which one is a better better player,
I would take Miles Garrett over Michael Parsons. So would you?

Speaker 4 (07:23):
Wow?

Speaker 8 (07:24):
And so no, I wouldn't.

Speaker 7 (07:26):
No, I wouldn't. Don't put words in my mouth. Pete Prisco,
that's not.

Speaker 3 (07:34):
If Miles Garrett went to Penn State, you'd put him
in the Hall of Fame already.

Speaker 7 (07:38):
Uh, that's probably true. That is probably true. But I
think Michael Parsons is more of a generational player than
Miles Garrett.

Speaker 3 (07:48):
What are you talking about that?

Speaker 4 (07:50):
Don't lie you wait, he's.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
More of a generational player. Miles Garrett is the best
defensive player in the league.

Speaker 7 (07:59):
Michael Parsons, this is more of a generational player than
Miles Garrett. And if you were asking me who would
I choose to put on my franchise between the two,
I go with Michael Parsons.

Speaker 3 (08:10):
Well, you're you're the you're the only guy and you're
the And by.

Speaker 7 (08:14):
The way, I don't I've never followed the crowd, you know,
I really haven't.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
You follow anybody who has Penn State next to their name.

Speaker 4 (08:20):
No, that's not true. I'm not a blind homer either.
I'm not. You are and I'm not. And I'm not
an apologist either.

Speaker 7 (08:27):
I actually shoot from the hip, shoot from the hip,
LeVar Miles.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
Michael Parsons is a great player, but he's not better
than Miles Garrett. And there's and there's no GM in
the league that would take other than Age if if
age didn't factor in, and if you ask all these
gms who they would take, they would take Miles.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
What do you factor into saying.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
That though he's a better pass rusher.

Speaker 7 (08:48):
He.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Does is pass rush. Does do you think.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Michael Parsons plays the run when it's at him very well?

Speaker 7 (08:57):
I mean, Michael Parsons can play to run. Michael Parsons
could come off the line of scrimmat if he wanted
to chase.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Down, he could chase down runs. I'll give you that.
But when it runs at him. That's the whole book
on his run at him.

Speaker 4 (09:09):
Nah, I mean Noah, Michah makes plays. I listen, listen.

Speaker 7 (09:14):
Miles Garrett is a true what you would call a
true defensive end size wise, the the ability is, it's phenomenal.
I don't know that I would say Miles Garrett is
better than t J.

Speaker 8 (09:28):
Watt.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
I might take t J. Watt before I take Miles Garrett.
I'm just being honest.

Speaker 5 (09:33):
Win for us, Jonas, Hey.

Speaker 4 (09:36):
I'm just being honest. I'm just being honest.

Speaker 7 (09:39):
I like Miles Garrett's game, and Miles Garrett has been
very effective for the Cleveland Browns, but Michael Parsons is
a generational talent that is comparable only to a few
names uh in the league with what he's been able
to accomplish since coming into the league. And that's not

(10:00):
really up for debate. And Miles Garrett isn't in that conversation.
He's not so pretty soon.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
You're gonna be telling me abdul Carter is better than
Miles Garrett.

Speaker 7 (10:11):
No, I haven't said that. He looked pretty good at
times last night, but not yet. He's got to get
the young Bucks sometime. He's on the funky team right now.
He's got to figure it out, you know, they got
to ford it out.

Speaker 3 (10:23):
Poor poor Miles Garrett's not better than Chop Robinson either.

Speaker 9 (10:33):
Out of here, Pete, Poor Miles Garrett, Arnold.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Kenny is better than.

Speaker 7 (10:40):
Oh Wow, go to John and Jason Away, go at
Dafeo Away in Baltimore. We got we got quite a
few in the league, damn, but none better than Michael Parsons.

Speaker 2 (10:53):
Pete Prisco with us here on if you can't tell
this is Pete Prisco, but Pete speaking of Micah parsons
former team, the Dallas Cowboys. I'm not really sure what
to make of yesterday because the Bears offense looked great,
but Dallas' defense is really bad.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
What is your takeaway from that game?

Speaker 3 (11:17):
They look better on offense, Caleb Williams looked much more
sure of himself, but I mean, really, I'm with you.
That defense is atrocious. And I joke around that they
play in concrete shoes in the secondary. I mean they're slow,
they have bust, Guys are wide open, they don't brush
the passer. And look, if Michael Parsons.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
Was there, there we go.

Speaker 3 (11:37):
They know he's a great player. But I don't think
it really would have been that big a difference, to
be honest with you. Now, No Bland is not there,
so that impacts the secondary. But Trayvon Diggs not very good.
Donovan Wilson, I mean, my gosh, in two years, he's
gone from a guy that was actually playing pretty good
safety to a guy who can't move and guys are
wide open, they're busted all over the place. And so

(12:00):
to answer your question, I think it's more reflection of
the Dallas defense than it is of Caleb Williams. He
was better. He was, you know, but again you're playing
on air. I mean it was a seven on seven game.
They didn't pressure him, the guys were wide open. You
know the touchdown he threw to Loveland, there was nobody
there and he almost overthrew it. I mean, so he

(12:20):
was better, but it's more of a reflection of the
Cowboys defense.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
The Chiefs got to win last night. Was sitting now
on one and two.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
I still feel like that offense just it's not only
coming along.

Speaker 5 (12:32):
I get it.

Speaker 6 (12:33):
I know they got some guys miss on the outside,
but do you feel like this is kind of the
time now where maybe we're not seeing Kansas City dominate
quite as much as we have in recent years.

Speaker 3 (12:42):
Yeah, but it's easy to play win games when you
play defense with twelve guys. They had their eleven and
Russell Wilson, I mean, god, he was awful. He is
so bad. And by the way, and by the way,
the four play sequence at the end.

Speaker 8 (13:01):
Of the game, what oh stop?

Speaker 6 (13:04):
First off, hold on, hold on, hold on to the
jerk out? Who put that out there? Where do you
want him to go in the first play? Where do
you want them to go?

Speaker 10 (13:11):
Like?

Speaker 6 (13:11):
Who was open on that first play? And then then
they run a quarterback draw, which that's not his call.

Speaker 3 (13:16):
I throw he got intentional grounding by throwing it to
the tunnel, buddy.

Speaker 4 (13:20):
I'm just saying, like, where do you want to put
the ball?

Speaker 3 (13:23):
And then a fourth down least to put it in
play to the goal.

Speaker 6 (13:27):
That would I'll give you the third and fourth down
plays that I'll give you, But the first down play,
the quarterback draw, It's like it wasn't.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Their quarterback drawing there? And I guarantee you that was
some kind of check he made it. The line of
scrim is just like judging by the Brian Gable face
look and then the two interceptions. He stinks, he's got
to sit down. They got to go to Jackson Dark,
get him out of there. And by the way, why
won't he give Chris Jones his jersey in the jersey exchange?
What the hell is that all about? Anybody know? I mean,
my gosh, get him off the field, get on with

(13:58):
it and play Jackson Dark terrible. You need to sit down.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
Russell Wilson and Chris Jones can't swap jerseys.

Speaker 3 (14:06):
Didn't you see that? After the game, they asked him.
He's been trying for years to get a jersey swap
from Russell Wilson, and Russell Wilson won't give it to him.
And they asked him again and he goes, I'm done
asking him, And to be honest with you, I don't.

Speaker 8 (14:17):
Want it anymore.

Speaker 4 (14:19):
Pete, what would you be willing to pay for Russell
wilson jersey?

Speaker 3 (14:23):
Let's see tuna on rye? Oh wow, I mean yeah,
I'll give you. Maybe I'll throw in I'll throw in
cheese on that sandwich. Wrap it up nice.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
Have you put a tomato on there?

Speaker 3 (14:34):
Yeah? Well, y'all put some tomato on there, freshing up
the Sandwich Nice. Back to the Chiefs. Back to the Chiefs.
Just look, they played great defense and Russell Wilson helped them.
They'll get me wrong, but their offense has major problems
still they you know they And does last night cover
up the deficiencies in the offense. No, they got he

(14:55):
got pressured all night. The offensive line didn't play well. Again,
they don't run the ball consistently, and they don't have
many threats in the passing game. So, Brady, I'm still
worried about their offense. Will they when they get Worthy back,
when they get Rice back, does that change the offense? Absolutely,
But that's going to be you know, Worthy might be
back this week, maybe next week, and it's going to

(15:15):
be a couple more weeks for Rushie Rice until they
get those guys back. That offense is very limited.

Speaker 6 (15:19):
Can I tell you what they need? They need to
run the damn ball like. They need to have a
consistent running game. Good team right now, the charge in
their division with two hut like.

Speaker 3 (15:31):
But Jecko doesn't look like he did before the injury,
and Kareem Hunt looks like he's gaining twenty two yards
to game four. I mean, they were who are they
running it with they got. Maybe they got to play Smith,
But the problem is he probably a great enough fairs protection.

Speaker 5 (15:44):
Yet I'm just the football.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
That team has no juice in the run game, none zero.
That's why I think Smith would give him the best option,
because he does have a little bit of juice. And
you see and he's starting to play a little bit
more and more. But Checko doesn't back from injury and
look like the same guy.

Speaker 7 (16:01):
Has he He doesn't have to look like the same
guy for them to be effective running the ball though.

Speaker 4 (16:07):
He's just got it. They got, they gotta be.

Speaker 3 (16:11):
They can pitch the ball. They could pitch the ball
to you and let run run the ball.

Speaker 8 (16:16):
Running back.

Speaker 3 (16:17):
The running back matters.

Speaker 4 (16:19):
It does matter you saying you acting like for Checo
can't do it. He can do it.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
He's just not the same guy. He's not being the
same guy. And and Kaream Hunts, you know, Cream Hunts,
one of those guys that turns two yard runs into
five yard runs and turns twenty yard runs into five
yard runs. That's who he is.

Speaker 7 (16:37):
I want to do an Oklahoma a drill with youth, Pete,
That's what That's what I will do.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
How about that. Pitch me the ball and do Oklahoma
with you.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
I'll root you out of the hole.

Speaker 8 (16:48):
I'll root you out, root me out.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Yeah all right, I got got.

Speaker 7 (16:53):
One good rep left in Mete just for you, though, Pete, uh, Pete, yes, sir,
excellent A is always not shy to uh to share
your opinions on Russell Wilson.

Speaker 4 (17:06):
It's a hater, a hater, Peter var.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
I'm a realist, and everybody else just you know, blow
smoke everybody up, everybody's behind. Oh god, Arnold is better
than Miles Garrett.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
I didn't say that. Hey, Pete, by the way, by
the way, Oregon, Penn State, who you got this week?

Speaker 5 (17:27):
Win him that one?

Speaker 4 (17:28):
Oh you know who he's got?

Speaker 3 (17:29):
Go ahead, hater, Well, it's all going to show up
as a robotterers. You're gonna play quarterback. I gotta figure
that he's.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
Been he's been bad this year. Man, it's a verse bad.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
Time he's gotten. He's gotten worse, he's gotten worse.

Speaker 7 (17:42):
I'm not going to sit here allow for y'all to
do that, like take us the break, don't that's true.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
Let's talk about Notre Dame. Let's not talk about let's
not talk.

Speaker 5 (17:51):
About gotta win. I don't know what it seems.

Speaker 7 (17:53):
Finally I could care less who you play. Y'all got
one win?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
Isn't the game at Penn State?

Speaker 8 (18:04):
Yes?

Speaker 4 (18:05):

Speaker 9 (20:23):
What up?

Speaker 8 (20:24):
Good morning everybody?

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Hello.

Speaker 4 (20:27):
Listen to your game? Oh?

Speaker 8 (20:29):
Thanks, it was a barn burner.

Speaker 4 (20:30):
Yeah, it was a nice, good game.

Speaker 8 (20:32):
A lot of penalties.

Speaker 4 (20:33):
You're having a good time with it.

Speaker 9 (20:34):
Hard to have a lot of rhythm with so many penalties.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
Yeah, yeah, but you call it a good game.

Speaker 9 (20:41):
Literally twenty penalties and then four networks, four that were
offsetting and then two that were declined.

Speaker 8 (20:48):
Yeah, so twenty six penalties is a lot.

Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (20:52):
I got to start taking notes when I watch your games,
because you'd be saying some pretty interesting stuff and I'll
be like, oh, I want to bring that up to
him on the show. But right now it's slipping me.
It's me too, it's slipping at what you said next.

Speaker 9 (21:08):
But running back should be on a national show. The
one thing about that game that should be mentioned is
that that kid, Robert Henry Jr. Is like the Ashton
Gentee of this year.

Speaker 8 (21:20):
He is. He's leading the nation.

Speaker 9 (21:23):
And rushing, he's home run hitting with seventy yard carries.
He had one hundred yards in the first half against
Texas A and M and two hundred overall, a seventy
yard run right at the beginning of the third quarter.
He's a pretty special player, a JC guy who got
that once the kid Pavia at Vanderbilt did the lawsuit

(21:47):
to get his JC years back. This guy was like, hey,
I could do that too, and came back and is
playing one more year at UTSA and he is pretty spectacular.
But other than that, I have two weeks off now
because Fox has fewer games with a lot of baseball
stuff in the next two Saturdays, I guess, so I

(22:09):
am off for two weeks. Just I am available to
be hired if anybody wants me to put on like
a clown outfit and come to their kid's birthday or something.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Him.

Speaker 7 (22:20):
What do you think that this means for Norville? You know, like,
that's that's probably Norval. Yeah, they probably needed to win
that game, right, They didn't need to lose that game
that way. I mean the way you think, does you know,
does that put him on a hot seat?

Speaker 8 (22:34):
I don't know.

Speaker 9 (22:34):
I mean, they still have the Mountain West season to play,
and there's a lot but you know, their quarterback got benched.
They benched their quarterback, and then they just decided that
the starter's not the starter anymore.

Speaker 8 (22:45):
The backup is going to be the starter.

Speaker 9 (22:47):
And he made a pretty rough decision there on the
two point conversion at the very end. But I think
they believe in him. He's improved them year in a
year out since they hired him. And Colorado State is
they have some good resources, they have a good stadium,
they have a great student section.

Speaker 8 (23:03):
They have a lot of support, a little bit.

Speaker 9 (23:06):
Like Utah State in the Mountain West moving over to
the PAC twelve. So, but it is an interesting question.
We'll have to see how the rest of the year goes.
It's still just September, guys.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
I know, yes, sorry even no, I said go ahead.

Speaker 2 (23:23):
Oh thoughts on the the Doyers that was and uh,
it feels like the the NL West is still up
for grabs at this point is less than ideal.

Speaker 9 (23:36):
Have I ever told you guys about the costco hoang
we talked about to Super eight today.

Speaker 8 (23:42):
Do you guys know the costco ho No? What is it?

Speaker 4 (23:45):
Jonas knows her, like, this is a real person.

Speaker 8 (23:48):
Yeah, she's an Asian girl.

Speaker 9 (23:50):
I get her real name on the Instagram, But she's
an Asian.

Speaker 4 (23:54):
Are you saying that's her real last name or you No?

Speaker 9 (23:57):
She calls herself the Costco ho oh, and she goes
to Costco and talks about all the deals and then
at the end she does like a squat down to
the ground like a stripper.

Speaker 7 (24:08):
Yeah, I know who you're I've seen her on social Yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, yeah,
I know exactly who you're talking about.

Speaker 4 (24:16):
I know exactly who you're talking about.

Speaker 9 (24:18):
She's an attractive Asian and only fans type, right. And
then she's like there in the Costco aisles and she
talks about the different deals at Costco and at the
very end she goes, you can.

Speaker 8 (24:32):
Pull up the Costco ho we have.

Speaker 9 (24:34):
We have plenty of Costco host sound bites on the
the show.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
Randy, do we have Costco ho in the.

Speaker 8 (24:40):
Allipse cat or something? Is her name?

Speaker 9 (24:43):
I forget anyway, I'm here to answer questions. The Dodgers, Yes,
are struggling. The bullpen is terrible. Other than that, they
seem like a pretty good team. They're starting pitchers are great.
They have a great offense, they have a great lineup.
Oh Tawi pitch beautifully last night, six scoreless innings. I
think that's the longest he's gone in a game. Then

(25:05):
the bullpen came in and blew it again. So yeah,
they haven't clinched the NLS. They're gonna play in the Wildcard.
So a week from yesterday, the Dodgers will be playing
in the Wildcard and it'll be interesting to see if
they flip a playoff switch or if none of these
guys in the bullpen.

Speaker 8 (25:22):
I mean, they have so.

Speaker 9 (25:23):
Many starters like emmittt Sheehan and people like that, and
even Otawni. If they don't use their bullpen in the playoffs,
they just use different starters to come in. Maybe they'll
have a different outcome. But the bullpen, all these guys
they signed in the offseason for a lot of money
have been abject failures. Kirby Yates and Tanner Scott and

(25:47):
Dodger fans are worried about it. How much do they
get to be worried after winning the World Series last
year and having their twenty million person parade and fully
blowing their wad last November good jobs.

Speaker 5 (26:00):
What well, Jonas is really pent up over here?

Speaker 8 (26:03):
Oh? Is he tang? A hostage crisis.

Speaker 6 (26:06):
Going on with He's like that Colorado State mascot we
were talking about.

Speaker 9 (26:10):
Last week Rested Warriors, a real hostage crisis.

Speaker 8 (26:15):
Cam the Ram.

Speaker 9 (26:16):
We got a lot of cam the ram in in
the game. At least we got that in and we
did it, and we did a cam the Ram versus
a road runner ram. It speed comparison, and rams are
faster than road runners.

Speaker 8 (26:28):
Believe it or not, they are.

Speaker 5 (26:30):
Yeah, I would never think that.

Speaker 9 (26:33):
No, we didn't either, and that's why we looked it
up and we had the speed comparison.

Speaker 8 (26:36):
Late night football's got it all.

Speaker 4 (26:38):
But wait, is that what.

Speaker 8 (26:40):
We're different from you early morning guys? That it does
include the ball?

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Sagang Hey, Petros.

Speaker 5 (26:47):
Back to the Dodgers.

Speaker 4 (26:48):
What would Joe Davis have to say about the Dodgers
right now?

Speaker 9 (26:52):
What are you asking me to analyze? I don't like that?
What would he say? I don't know. It's the matter
with You'm just curious.

Speaker 4 (27:09):
I've been to.

Speaker 9 (27:12):
I'm not saying anything bad about Joe anymore because he
was nice to me at the Fox seminar.

Speaker 6 (27:22):
I do I do want to ask you about in
all seriousness, because the timing of all this seems rather odd.
I mean, obviously they were bad last year. It's been
not been a good start so far this year. You know,
they weren't that bad two years ago. You know, their
top twenty team. Why now in your mind? And then also,

(27:42):
I guess what's the outlook for that program?

Speaker 9 (27:45):
Which one Oklahoma State? Oh my my pokes. Yeah, it's
it's hard to imagine them without Mike Gundhy as the coach, right,
because like I think about Oklahol and you think about
I used to think about two things, Barry Sanders and
Thurman Thomas. Right, I'd never been to Stillwater. I didn't

(28:08):
know anything about it, and you just thought about those
two running backs. And I don't know what it was
twenty years ago. What would that have been two thousand
and five? Did he become the head coach? And it
wasn't on my radar? And I guess it just kind
of start. I went out there like three or four

(28:30):
times and did games at t boone Pickens and talked
to Gundy and kind of understood the where they had
Mason Rudolph, different guys.

Speaker 8 (28:40):
Over the years and.

Speaker 9 (28:44):
It's hard to imagine somebody having more success at a
more obscure place for that long of a time, and
that really should be commended. He was a great character
of the game. They I don't think had a real
easy time adapting with the modern the very quick modern

(29:04):
changes that happened in college football in the last few years.

Speaker 8 (29:09):
But he should be commended.

Speaker 9 (29:12):
I mean, the guy ran a great program and a
successful program for a long time. Would he been able
to do that anywhere else, I'm not sure. I mean,
he can coach somewhere else, and it'll be interesting to see.
But I mean he was literally only out of Stillwater
after being the quarterback there for like two or three
years of his life with Ralph Frigen in Maryland.

Speaker 4 (29:35):
Or something like that on a fridge.

Speaker 9 (29:38):
So this is a guy who's you know, was lifelong
cowboy and did a lot of great things at his
alma mater. Maybe he didn't get along with everybody very well.
Remember there used to be like a power struggle between
him and t Boone Pickens when he was alive.

Speaker 8 (29:53):
Do you remember that. So that was a whole thing.
But overall, I.

Speaker 9 (29:59):
Think think you know, once the dost settles that people
should remember this was a great football coach at his
alma mater, and I don't think anybody could ever have
more success, more sustained success.

Speaker 8 (30:12):
At that place.

Speaker 9 (30:14):
Now they have money, more money than a lot of people,
and which is kind of ironic to hear him complain
about other people having money, because you're playing people that
have less money. But either way, Mike Gundy was a
great character of the game. He had a giant tortoise
or still does that lives on his property somewhere in

(30:34):
still Water. So just you know, in the weird haircut.

Speaker 6 (30:39):
Would he make sense at a place like UCLA? Like
did you see him taking a job like that?

Speaker 8 (30:44):
I don't know, you know, it's so hard to imagine.

Speaker 9 (30:47):
Like I used to be able to answer that question
about Mike Leach, right, like everybody'd be like any job
that came up over the years when Mike Leach was
a thing, everybody was like, well, you got to hire
Mike Leach's Tennessee or Ucla. And it's like, guys, he's
going to show up in a polo smelling ripe to

(31:08):
a black tie dinner an hour late. You know he's
gonna Now that works at Washington State. That's okay, that's
the furthest out post of the Pac ten or twelve
at the time. He works at Lubbock, which was the
furthest out outpost of the Big twelve at the time,
and SEC Stark Vegas, which is the furthest.

Speaker 8 (31:28):
Out post of the SEC at the time.

Speaker 9 (31:31):
But to work somewhere where you're expected to maybe be
a little bit different than who you.

Speaker 8 (31:37):
Are deep down was going to be difficult for him.

Speaker 9 (31:42):
I don't know if that's the same with Michael with
Mike Gundy, only because it's been so long, right that
he's not coached anywhere else for so long. He's used
to being in his little kingdom where he played quarterback
and where people he could say, well, where are you
gonna go?

Speaker 8 (32:02):
If you don't like it?

Speaker 4 (32:03):
I can't. I can't picture him anywhere else.

Speaker 8 (32:05):
Yeah, it's hard to it's hard to U C l A.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
I don't.

Speaker 9 (32:09):
I'd rather they hire an Ojero and watch him explode
the city of Los Angeles, try to recruit and freak
out and attack Lincoln Riley.

Speaker 7 (32:18):
It would be too much, don't you think, energy wise,
like persona wise for likel like U c l A.
Gives me like real, real yuppie type vibes.

Speaker 4 (32:27):
Man like, no.

Speaker 9 (32:28):
Doubt it's a Chardonnaye crowd. But maybe they need to
change that up.

Speaker 3 (32:32):
You know.

Speaker 9 (32:32):
They changed it up with Jim Mora and he had
some success. Of course, eventually.

Speaker 7 (32:36):
Came I got a little yup to him though, a
little bit, and he can he could fit that that
you know.

Speaker 9 (32:42):
That, Yeah, well that's you know, ultimately, that was the
reason that Pat, I mean Pat Hayden hired Clay Helton
to be a USC head coach. He hired Steve Sarkisian,
whose life was nowhere near in shape, to be a
head coach. And everybody knew it, you know, but Pat
those guys and he didn't.

Speaker 8 (33:01):
Hire where it is.

Speaker 9 (33:03):
Yeah, he didn't hire at Ogeron because that Ojeron doesn't
have a golf bag in his trunk, you know. I
mean that's true. I mean that that's ancient history, but
it's true. So somebody already has a golf bag in
between a secret titleist, I mean, but somebody already.

Speaker 5 (33:25):
A big stack of balloons you take to like a
birthday party.

Speaker 9 (33:28):
That's because with Helim, all I'm saying is us he
already ignored at Ojeron because he wasn't enough of a
yuppie and they probably should have hired him.

Speaker 8 (33:42):
I don't know if he'll get the UCLA job.

Speaker 9 (33:44):
He does have some baggage, but I certainly think they
should look into him because somebody that could blow up
and recruit La and change her.

Speaker 8 (33:53):
They need to change a landscape.

Speaker 9 (33:55):
I mean, they need to make a move and do
something differently than what they've been doing. And I think
they will play better. They might even win against Northwestern
on Saturday. I think they'll respond better. With Tim Skippers
as the interim coach.

Speaker 4 (34:10):
You mentioned USC they're looking pretty impressive. Man, Like, where
you where do you stand on this? Like? Has the
experiment started to pay dividends with what's going on there?

Speaker 8 (34:21):
Well?

Speaker 4 (34:22):
What are we experimenting with the hey coach?

Speaker 8 (34:24):
Maybe?

Speaker 9 (34:27):
Well, they won two games against teams that they that
they really should.

Speaker 8 (34:31):
Have dominated, and they did.

Speaker 9 (34:32):
They dominated Georgia Southern and they dominated Missouri State. They
went on the road and played a Perdue team that's
it has a new coach and is getting better. But
road games are hard. Road conference games are harder. The
first road conference game of the year is really hard
and they passed that test in West Lafayette. Whatever you

(34:53):
think about that Purdue team, but Michigan State is improved.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
I thought that was a quality win.

Speaker 8 (35:00):
Yeah, Michigan State is an improved team.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
Now.

Speaker 8 (35:02):
Sure, they were playing eight o'clock at night.

Speaker 9 (35:04):
You know, eleven o'clock at night, Eastern time, deep into
the morning. They had a guy carted off the field
for a scary injury and all that. But I think
last year's USC team loses to that Michigan State team
this year in the same circumstance. So Jade and Mayava,
you could say, And right now, he looks like the

(35:26):
most improved player from last year to this year on
any team as a quarterback. They put together a good
defensive staff with Dean Lynn, who people want to be
hired for the UCLA head coaching job, and Rob Ryan,
of course we all know him, the linebacker coach.

Speaker 8 (35:45):
So they look a lot better.

Speaker 9 (35:48):
Now, what's it going to look like when Brady's there
at Big Noon in Illinois after Illinois was physically desecrated
by Deanna last week, which is not ideal for anybody
going forward, But I don't know. I mean, once they
get out on the road and face a little adversity
and see if they can overcome that adversity.

Speaker 8 (36:10):
It'll be interesting. They're undisciplined.

Speaker 9 (36:12):
They had ten penalties on Saturday night against Michigan State.

Speaker 8 (36:17):
My prop bet over was nine and a half.

Speaker 9 (36:20):
I hit that, But yeah, US season proved. I think
most people would have looked at their schedule and said, yeah,
they'll be four and zero to start the season. But
they look pretty good. And the two receivers if Jacobe
Lane is getting going to come back and Mackay Lemon
have been spectacular, So you got to do what do

(36:42):
they say? Give USC their flowers. They've had a great September,
but it's not over yet, and we'll see what happens,
you know, when it gets cold and when they get
out on the road and start playing in conference games.
They'll be a little bit more of a sample side
to judge. But yeah, they're better than I thought they

(37:04):
would be, although I probably would have guessed they'd be
undefeated at this point, but.

Speaker 8 (37:08):
That would that's a much better you have to say eight.

Speaker 9 (37:10):
And Shiles too, is one of the most improved quarterbacks in.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
The country from last year to this year. Do you
think they can continue it?

Speaker 4 (37:19):
Like what what chance do you give them in like
this whole Big Ten hunt?

Speaker 8 (37:24):
Oh, I don't know.

Speaker 9 (37:25):
I mean how many how many slots does the Big
Ten get in the playoff?

Speaker 8 (37:29):
Twenty six? Okay, they'll make it?

Speaker 4 (37:33):
Six maybe seven?

Speaker 8 (37:35):
Right? Q?

Speaker 4 (37:36):
Six maybe seven?

Speaker 8 (37:39):
Six?

Speaker 5 (37:39):
I think they'll get four teams in this year?

Speaker 7 (37:41):
Four?

Speaker 8 (37:41):
Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 9 (37:44):
I mean, I mean if they if the Big Ten
gets four teams in this year and the way USC
schedule plays out.

Speaker 8 (37:49):
They might have a chance.

Speaker 9 (37:51):
But they have to improve every week, and I've not
seen that under Lincoln Riley USC team yet.

Speaker 4 (37:57):
So you don't think they make the playoff.

Speaker 9 (37:59):
If I had to guess right now, I just I
stick to my story and say no. But they certainly
look a lot better than they used to.

Speaker 2 (38:06):
I mean, right when I thought you were turning the
corner and starting to really have some love for Lincoln,
Well you're.

Speaker 9 (38:11):
Gonna sit here and put my feet to the fire
like a broadworst.

Speaker 8 (38:14):
I mean, yeah, I.

Speaker 7 (38:14):
Don't those are very good about away with with with mustard?

Speaker 4 (38:20):
My estimation, Petros, we're having a Deli mustard? Were yeah,
yellow mustard? Okay, would you be okay with it?

Speaker 8 (38:28):
Fine with me?

Speaker 4 (38:29):
Maybe some onions and.

Speaker 9 (38:30):
I'm not a finicky man. Although I don't enjoy ketchup
on a sausage or a hot dog. I find that
to be communist and un America.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Oh, Petros, we were having a discussion earlier about the sausage,
Super eight, Super eights and Motel sixes. Where do you
stand on those a's hotels?

Speaker 4 (38:47):
What are they used for?

Speaker 8 (38:48):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (38:48):
Are you willing to stay in one of those? Or
just use one of those? I mean, it's a legit question.

Speaker 8 (38:55):
How it did come up?

Speaker 4 (38:57):
Remember, how do we get in this cus?

Speaker 7 (39:00):
Because I got booked, so I late booked for a
white out, white out weekend.

Speaker 9 (39:07):
Okay, Oh, this is okay. This is one of those
things where you can't get a room into college.

Speaker 7 (39:12):
And the only hotel left with one room available was
the Skate eight, and I said, I just can't do
that just because of what it has represented to me
in the past. That was where the conversation came from.

Speaker 8 (39:29):
So you're not going to the way.

Speaker 4 (39:31):
Oh no, I'm going.

Speaker 3 (39:32):
I just.

Speaker 7 (39:34):
No, because they're not available either. I just I'm going
to drive in from Harrisburg. So I'm gonna stay in
Harrisburg where there's room availability and sensible rates for a room.
I mean, can you imagine this. A skate eight room
is going for eight hundred dollars a night.

Speaker 4 (39:53):
Wow, a skate eight super egg. That's what they're called
the school. Why do they call them skate I do not.

Speaker 9 (40:00):
Well, I've had to do some things, you know, in
a similar regards. I think I had to stay at
a hotel like that in Pullman once or twice, or
outside in Moscow in Idaho, outside of Pullman because we
got an apple cup late in the year and then
the rooms are already been booked for three four months, right,
and you get that game assignment late in the year

(40:22):
and they can't put you anywhere else.

Speaker 8 (40:24):
So yeah, I've been through the war.

Speaker 4 (40:25):
I want to go through.

Speaker 7 (40:27):
Like what Jonas asked you though, like do you have
history with like Motel sixes or skate eights? Because Lorena
jumped in there and was like she jumped in there
pretty quickly and was like, hey, listen, that's that's on
my hotels list.

Speaker 4 (40:41):
It's a very normal place to stay. Here you go,
and I said, wow, that's you know.

Speaker 9 (40:47):
We have all kinds of flop hotels. In fact, I
grew up where my family owned I guess you would
call them like slum hotels. My grandfather did, my great
grandfather did in Sampede, the LaSalle Hotel, the Cabrio Hotel,
the West Hotel, and these hotels were eight dollars a night.

(41:08):
Oh yeah, and they had one bathroom on every floor.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
What were they four.

Speaker 9 (41:14):
People that were down and out and it was that's
a very serious.

Speaker 4 (41:20):
Like hookers, that's what we were think.

Speaker 9 (41:23):
I mean, these are people, you know, I mean people
who have fallen through the cracks of society.

Speaker 2 (41:29):
The room key had had the room number attached to
it on a little key chain.

Speaker 3 (41:34):
You know.

Speaker 9 (41:34):
I just remember running around like when I was eight
or nine, you know, picking up whatever, you know, go
get the bag of money from the lobby of this
hotel and run it back to the restaurant and stuff
like that. So my my flop hotel experience goes maybe
a little bit deeper that then Loraina with with their
slippers on, headed to the vending machine at the Super eight. Uh.

Speaker 4 (42:00):
This is a nice touch thereat right, but generally it
could be barefoot.

Speaker 9 (42:05):
I do remember being lined up at the at the
vending machine at the Poloose end, you know, trying to
get like trying to get a bottled water to pour
into my sleep mask. Oh, no filter over the years.
But I will say this now that I'm like, I'm
almost I'm forty eight, and I don't travel as much

(42:28):
as I used to. But the I used to wonder,
like why the broadcasters, like the older broadcasters, were always
bitching about the hotel or the car service or whatever.
But now that I'm a little older and a little
bit more finicky, I do understand that a little bit more.
I would not appreciate being put in a motel six

(42:50):
to call a football game. That being said, that sounds
you know, when you say it out of your mouth,
you sound like a huge a hole.

Speaker 4 (42:56):
Yeah, but you don't, especially if you know the history
of it.

Speaker 9 (43:00):
I'm just saying, if.

Speaker 8 (43:06):
You do not do that I would.

Speaker 9 (43:08):
Do is stay at Gettysburg and miss the game and
be dressed up like a Union soldier.

Speaker 4 (43:15):
Yeah, if you're Lavarrington, you're not saying it.

Speaker 9 (43:17):
Hold the line, boys just run around around.

Speaker 8 (43:21):
There's a cold sweat screaming in the ghost.

Speaker 11 (43:23):
He's got a musket where the battlefields are.

Speaker 8 (43:28):
That's what I would if I was in that part
of the world.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
That's what I would want to do go to Gettysburg.
Huh uh huh. That's overrated experience.

Speaker 8 (43:35):
Man, That's fine with me.

Speaker 4 (43:37):
Okay, all right, you'd enjoy it.

Speaker 9 (43:39):
I guess I want to sit at the Devil's Dad.
I want to go to Little round Top. I want
to go to Big round Top. I want to go
to the peach Orchard. I want to go to the
Bloody Angle. I want to go to that. I want
to go to betty Gettysburg. The bloody Angle. Well, there's
two bloody angles. One one was a was a spot
in the battlefield I think in cold Heart, which was

(44:01):
just in the Overland campaign, which was after Gettysburg, which
was just a horrible massacre that was unnecessary. And the
bloody Angle in Gettysburg is the highest point that I
forget the guy's name, but a guy put his hat
on his bayonet and like a general type and ran

(44:22):
a bunch of dudes up during pickats charge on the
third day at Gettysburg. And that's the highest point, or
the lowest point anyway, that's the furthest the South ever
got into the North and they got over a wall
and they commandeered a gun. They turned the gun around
on the north and then they realized there was no

(44:43):
ammunition in the gun left and they got absolutely pummeled
and killed. But that's the Bloody Angle. So that's the
highest point of the South advance.

Speaker 7 (44:53):
That's interesting because it's very far from the South. It's
like right there, right, Well, that's.

Speaker 9 (44:58):
What Gettysburg is. Yeah, that's why Gettysburg is because the
South was so far to the north. And if they
get by the Army of Potomac in the north there,
that means they march to Washington because there's no other
army h up there. So if they get by the
Army of the Potomac, they march to Washington and they
signed their treaty and they get the session.

Speaker 8 (45:20):
So that was a pretty big deal. Anyway, that's what
I would do.

Speaker 7 (45:24):
I want to see Stone Hinge. I've seen the Northern lights.
I want to see the Northern lights. Well, i've seen
I've seen the Northern lights. I checked that one off.
But I do want to see Stone Inge. Are we
talking about. I'm just saying he said he wanted to
see the Hooker hotels the Stone because he said, I.

Speaker 9 (45:40):
Would want to stay in Gettysburg and I wouldn't want
to stay in the motel.

Speaker 4 (45:44):
That's one of your places.

Speaker 9 (45:46):
I wouldn't want to stay in like one of those
hotels where they're like, you know, five men's legs were amputated.

Speaker 8 (45:51):
In this room.

Speaker 4 (45:52):
Tang alight.

Speaker 7 (45:56):
Also, I also want to see the mountain with the
present of the in's faces on it, Mount Rushmore.

Speaker 4 (46:01):
I want to see it. I want to see it.

Speaker 9 (46:04):
You know what, they took the President's off it and
now it's just Lebron Yeah, wow, whack will?

Speaker 8 (46:14):
Is it?

Speaker 5 (46:14):
Really?

Speaker 4 (46:17):
Petros always appreciate it. Let's do it again next.

Speaker 9 (46:20):
Week, Tom Brady Bubersias, I mean there would be surprised
the gray Petros papadegas.

Speaker 2 (46:32):
He's the cost of the Petros and Money show, which
you can hear on the Blowtorch, a five seventy l
a Sports Fox called Football Analyst and you get them
on ex at the.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Old p Be sure to catch live editions of Two
Pros and a Cup of Joe with Brady Quinn, LeVar
Arrington and Jonas Knox weekdays at six am Eastern three
am Pacific on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app.
I'm Winning Listen up, Winning Cures All Illnesses.

Speaker 5 (46:58):
It really does.

Speaker 8 (46:59):
I'm going to win Quinn's wins.

Speaker 4 (47:03):
And you wouldn't know it based on our podcast.

Speaker 6 (47:05):
But last week three and one, how about that hum
Maryland Michigan UNLV tight one there in Oxford, Ohio, but
they were able to come back and pull it out
finally against my villa and well, the loser was Illinois.
They got drummed by Indiana. We all witnessed that.

Speaker 4 (47:20):
I have a loaded slate for you this week.

Speaker 6 (47:22):
You have to feel confident after being three and one,
nine and eleven overall in the season.

Speaker 5 (47:28):
No one cares to hear about any of this.

Speaker 6 (47:29):
LeVar doesn't put in the work, he doesn't care about it,
so he's gonna sit this one out. First game up,
we've got Alabama headed to Georgia.

Speaker 4 (47:38):
They're getting three points. Now here's the is.

Speaker 6 (47:42):
This is not the same Bama team as we're a
customed to seeing taken on Kirby Smart, which by the way,
it hasn't been overly successful anyway. But this team struggled
to win on the road and also they've been struggling
to run the football. I think three points it's just
it's not enough in my opinion. So three on the dot.
They are at DraftKings, you go ahead and lay them

(48:02):
with Georgia. They find a way of winning and covering
this number. Next up, another SEC matchup LSU. They're headed
to Old Miss. Now they're getting a point and a half.
So this is basically almost picking when it comes down
to it. But Austin Simmons, the starting quarterback for Old Miss,
he is out. Sean Bliss goes in as the backup quarterback.

(48:23):
I don't need much more than that. Besides the fact
that this transfer class has been phenomenal for LSU this year.
Their defense has improved by over sixty yards a game
and by multiple touchdowns per game. That's how much better
this LSU defense has been. Even though Garon Nusamayer hasn't
got off to really the lightning hot start we thought
he was going to. I think they do enough not

(48:44):
only just to cover this number, but to outright win
at Old Miss this week.

Speaker 4 (48:49):
So LSU plus one and.

Speaker 6 (48:51):
A half, they're on DraftKings. Next up a battle in
the Big twelve TCU. They're getting three headed to Scottsdale
to take on Era I should say Tempei to take
on Arizona State. Now, this was one of the toughest
picks for me this entire week. Josh Riuver has been
playing phenomenal, maybe the best quarterback in the Big Twelve,
but he's gonna have a chance to prove it against

(49:11):
Sam Levitt, who's also been playing really well for Arizona
State this year.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
It was a tough one. I think TCU is flying
under the radar.

Speaker 6 (49:17):
I think they're one of the best teams in the
Big Twelve this year, so I'm gonna take the three
points TCU on the road, I think they start making
a claim for being one of the better teams in
college football, potentially being a playoff team when it's all
said and done. Next up, surprising number here for Florida
State on the road, headed to Charlottesville to take on Virginia.

(49:37):
Florida State's given seven points here. I just think with
the way they've been able to run the football and
kind of dominate the line of scrimmage. Don't want to
say it's been a surprise, but they've exceeded my expectations
and that defensively, I don't think UV is gonna able
to put up many points.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
Go ahead and lay the seven points.

Speaker 6 (49:54):
Florida State continues on building back up their reputation within
the ACC and the college football world. A couple a
few more for you loaded weekend of games UIs C.
I'll be there to see them take on the fighting
a line. I usually don't pick games that we're actually at.
This is one nowhere. It's hard to ignore some of
the deficiencies that Illinois has on defense, in particular secondary,

(50:17):
which is one of the strong points for USC is.
Their passing game. Jordan Miov has been phenomenal this year.
Lemon lane Lane's actually questionable before the game. We'll see
if you can end up suiting up for it. But
I think it's just too much firepower for Southern cow.
They get another win to stay undefeated and you lay
the seven points with Southern col on the road. Another
big one Ohio State taking on Washington out in Seattle.

(50:39):
This number has come down dramatically, However, It's gonna be
interesting to see if Washington Huskies, you haven't really played anyone,
can keep this one close. But the numbers eight and
a half on DraftKings, I like them on Williams Junior
to keep this close. I think the Huskies are able
to keep it within the eight and a half numbers.
So take the points and the Huskies at home, and
finally the big one, penn State host an Oregon. They're

(51:03):
given three and a half. We are take the Ducks.
Take the three and a half in the Ducks. Oh no,
oh no.

Speaker 4 (51:14):
Twins, wins. Take Arkansas this weekend, everyone take Arkansas.
