Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sixteen after three. This is ESPN fifteen thirty. I'm Moegger.
I think it's gonna be a really fun game on
Saturday and noon. Kickoff at the New Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas,
Cincinnati Big twelve opener against KU. The Jayhawks beat West
Virginia pretty handily last week and they're Big twelve opener.
It's a TNT game kicks off at noon. JB Long,
(00:21):
who is also the voice of the LA Rams, which
means he probably has a Super Bowl ring for that
game where they beat the Bengals, is on the call
along with Mike Golig Junior and kind enough to give
us a few minutes. It's good to have you, JB.
How are you no?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Thank you for the invitation. It's true what you said.
Please don't hold it against me. I've always enjoyed being
around the people in Cincinnati, including my time hanging around
some of the best Bengals, including Dan Org. So apologies
for all that. It was a very special memory here
in Los Angeles. I'm sorry it came against the Bengals expense.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Just hearing your voice, I think of Aaron Donald and
it's giving me chills. So nonetheless, let's talk about something
much more pleasant. I think, on what is a really
good college football Saturday, you have a sneaky game and
a sneaky good game in front of you at noon.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
I'm glad you said that. It's almost like we compared
notes ahead of time, which we didn't. I kind of
see this as the winner of this game becomes the
dark horse challenger in the Big twelve. We know who
the top teams are based on the polls and the
results so far, but I think the winner of Cincinnati
and Kansas gets the right to think that they can
challenge if things break their way. And I think a
large part of that is because the way their quarterbacks
are playing and the weapons that they have on offense.
(01:26):
So I would not be surprised that this is a
high scoring affair, and I think both of these teams
have the firepower win healthy to challenge some of the
teams at the top and conference.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
From a Cincinnati perspective, on Saturday, what's going to be
your biggest storyline?
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Whether too at Noses playing. I mean that defensive captain
and the Godfather is quite literally the biggest story going
into Lawrence. But whether or not he does play, I
think Cincinnati is at least prepared to counter some of
what Kansas does best. And then the other thing I
have on my mind is like, look, they've They've played
a couple of caps and an SCS team, and I'm
(02:02):
going to give them a pass for Week one. For
a variety of reasons. I credit them with going out
and challenging themselves. I think they learned a lot about
themselves at Arrowhead against Nebraska. They're probably one decision away
from being three and zero potentially, but the way they've
gone about their business in the two games subsequently, I
think built a lot of confidence and health along the way.
(02:22):
Combined with their bye week, I'm anxious to see if
Soorsby and some of these new receivers can go out
and put it on display against a contending team in
conference on the road in their Big twelve opener.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
That's the thing for me. You know, they they played
the Nebraska game, almost won it Bowling Green, it kind
of felt like they ran in place. I'm not sure
we learned anything about the Bearcats in the FCS game
against Northwestern State, but when I think of their one
game against a name brand opponent, I think of their
wide outs, not being able to get open, and so
to me, you know, more than anything else, I want
to see if that turns out to be an anomaly
(02:54):
or if that's something they can improve upon on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
I believe in this speed. I believe in some of
the pieces they added. I think one game at full
speed against an opponent that can hit and tackle probably
change the math on them a little bit. That's the
reason why that was the most oppressed passing game of
the season for sworesby so far. But Moile, I think
it's true in the other direction as well, in terms
of the pass defense, with the Bearcats aligning almost like
eighty percent completion through the year to their FDS quarterback
(03:21):
opponents right Rayola Andrew Pine with Bowling Green. So I
think that too, especially when you consider the mobile ability
of Daniels in the quarterback. In the offense they're going
against this week, Kansas has a ton of window dressing
their personnel. The way they move pre and post snap.
It really stresses the defense and I think that will
be an equally big challenge for the Bearcat.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
JB. Long Is with his TNT He's got the game
on Saturday at twelve o'clock in Lawrence. You mentioned what
Kansas does, well, I'm sure you're going to have viewers
in this part of the country who haven't seen the
Jayhawks yet. I did watch them against West Virginia, and
what stood out to me more than anything is how
well they blocked up front studying the What can my
audience expect from them?
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Yeah, I think it starts at center for them. I mean,
they've got an all conference center in Bryce Foster, and
I think he takes a lot off of a six
year quarterbacks plate, not that Jalen Daniels needs it. Emmanuel
Henderson Junior is probably the first name to watch in
their passing game. He's also a weapon on special teams.
He had the ninety four yard kick return to open
the second half and last week's win against West Virginia.
(04:25):
But someone who had five star talent at Alabama kind
of got lost in one of the most talented position
groups in all of college football. He's found a home
in Lawrence, and I think him, along with the way
they utilize their tight ends as well, this is a
great tight end game. If you love tight end play,
I think this is the game for you. So we'll
see about the health of their running back room, whether
(04:45):
it's Daniel Heishaw, who I think was questionable or maybe
even doubtful on the first injury report of the week,
or the way that they've been able to run it
with Leshawn Williams as well, both the quarterback run dynamics
and the weapons with the big arms through the air
and the personnelckages that both of these offenses can throw
at their opponent. I think it makes for a fascinating
tactical matchup that my partner my goal at you and
(05:06):
is really going to be able to dig into.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Noon on Saturday. You mentioned the door opens for one
of these two teams, whoever wins on Saturday, to perhaps
be a dark horse in the Big Twelve. It is
very early in the league, obviously, but give me an
assessment of the league to this point.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, I've seen Texas Tech in person and then watch
their game on the road at Utah. Their non conference
was soft by any measure, but that's not really the point.
I think the players that they bought in in the
trenches give them a chance to compete at the highest
level of the sport. I think Arizona State is still
a team to watch at home against the ranked TCU
program this week. Jordan Tyson is one of, if not
(05:46):
the best receivers in college football, and in the star
studied quarterback conference. I think Levitt is as good as
as just about anyone. So those are the two teams
that I would highlight first, but I still think, like
you said, it's very early. We'll learn more about BYU.
For instance, this week, Iowa State has really flown under
the radar, even though they'd got the highest ranking next
(06:06):
to their names. So I think it's a really deep
conference at the top in terms of the contenders, and
I think maybe in terms of who goes to Dallas,
it might be who can avoid that fatal mistake, who
can avoid stubbing their toe and losing to a quote
unquote lesser team, manage their schedule get to the conference
championship game, because I think both those teams, whoever winds
(06:27):
up there is going to be worthy of playoff consideration.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Well said, have a great call on Saturday. I appreciate
you carbon had some time, JB. Thanks so much again.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Don't hold the Super Bowl thing against me. Glick and
Lauren Jabara, our sideline reporter, are wonderful people, and I
truly hope that the Cincinnati faithful will be impressed with
the care factor that we bring to their conference and
their team and the production quality. It's really going to
blow you away.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Yeah, that, and I think it's going to be a
cool setting with the new stadium there and Laurence looking
forward to a. JB. Thanks a lot man have direct
you show most definitely that's JB Long TNT the game
noon Saturday. His play by play is a color partner,
I should say is Mike Gollock Junior and Laurene Barra
is on the sidelines. That is at noon in Lawrence,
(07:14):
Cincinnati versus Kansas. JB also the voice of the la Rams.
We got action a gabp. Pirates are kind of starting
to play like the Pirates. So it's two nothing good
guys in the bottom of the fifth inning and the
Reds are still batting. So I'll quickly lay out how
this unfolded. So Key Brian Hayes got on base on
what they ruled an infield single. I'm not sure that
(07:36):
was the correct scoring decision. Nonetheless, TJ. Friedel doubles to
center Key Brian Hayes on a bang bang play, slides
in at home, he's originally ruled safe. They do a
replay review, which felt like it took about an hour
and a half. Ultimately, the call was overturned based on
(07:57):
what I saw, and I'm kind of busy doing stuff here,
so I will trust their judgment there in New York.
But I'm not sure just based on the two times
that I saw it, that that play should have been overturned.
But again, I'm not looking at it nearly as closely. Keey,
Brian Hayes, I guess hurt himself, Taran, Did you see
what he did?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
No?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
But they, according to John said that he's been dealing
with a back injuries. He's been dealing with the back issue.
So have they taken him out of the game? Obviously
the Reds are still batting.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
I'm not sure we know he came back to the clubhouse,
but not sure if he's officially at ruled out.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
All right, So that was kind of deflating. And then
what highlights can we play? What do you got for me? Tarren?
We have both of the RBIs. I go ahead, give
me give me Noelva Marte driving in the go ahead run.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Two balls, one strike to pitch to Martin there's a
bullet pass short that's in the left center for a hit.
Friedel up to third base. He's being waved around. Here's
the relay to the plate. This time it is Gonsales
and the throw gets away on the second base Marte.
And now the Reds take your one nothing lead.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
All right, Terry, go gimme give me that you got
the other way got Gavin Lucks now the one one
ooh swinging.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
There's a ground ball through the right side base hit
Marte around third. He's headed home. The throw from Reynolds
is cut off. Two nothing, Reds. Gavin Lucks with an
RBI single to right.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Four hits.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
All right, there's a Tommy Thrall, who was on the
show yesterday, and Jeff Brantley. If you miss Tommy on
the show, go listen to it on the iHeartRadio app
podcast of the show, a service of Long Neck Sports Grille.
The Reds have been retired in the bottom of the fifth,
so it's two nothing Cincinnati Pittsburgh getting set to come
to the plate in the sixth. Nick Litolo has been
outstanding today, five shutout innings, striking out ten. He has
(09:42):
given up just two hits. I am assuming he is
back out for the sixth. He certainly should be. He's
only thrown sixty five pitches. Again, this is a game
the Reds absolutely must have. Arizona and the Dodgers get
underway in about fifteen minutes. Mets and Cubs play one
more time at Wrigley Field tonight again two nothing, Reds
top six at g A BP. We've been on the
(10:06):
air for twenty minutes. It feels like we've been on
the air for three hours that game on Saturday. We're
just talking about it with JB.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Long.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
If this is ever gonna get going, and when I
say this, the UC football program under its current leadership,
if this is ever gonna get going, it really sort
of starts. It has to start happening now. And you know,
I know, it's the fourth game, it's the Big twelve opener,
they're on the road, they're underdogs. But if you want
(10:37):
to make people start to feel like, you know what,
this program is on the right path trajectory. The program
is a good one. Coaching staff should remain in place.
Program is in a good place. You gotta start challenging
in your conference. You gotta start winning road games. You
gotta start delivering the sort of victories that make people
(10:59):
perk up up. You got to do more than just
tread water. I think, frankly, you have to do more
than just go six and six. So, all right, the
Nebraska game unfolded the way it did. What I want
to know on Saturday is quite simply, does the Nebraska
game turn out to be an outlier where you know what,
By the way, Key Brian Hayes is back in the
(11:19):
game playing third base, the Nebraska game is an outlier,
and they're better on the outside and more explosive offensively
than they were last season. Even if the Nebraska game
didn't prove that well, then on Saturday and Lawrence, then
they should be able to throw the ball downfield. Brendan
(11:41):
Soursby doesn't have to, you know, throw for four hundred
and fifty yards. It's got to throw for more than
sixty nine. So do we see more of the same
in that regard. If the answer is no, they got
a shot. Kansas is good. Kansas is really good on
the offensive line. West Virginia. I watched that game last Saturday.
West Virginia was I think fourth or third or fourth
(12:01):
in FBS college football in sacks. They were dominated upfront.
So we'll see if Dante Corleone plays on Saturday, you
see going to be dominated up front. And are they
gonna be able to throw the ball deep? Are they
gonna be able to have explosiveness and can against a
good team or at least a P four team. Can
(12:23):
they take more advantage of Joe Royer than they did
against Nebraska, where he had three catches for eleven yards.
Like you want to make people feel like, hey, this
is this is gonna work, and this program is worth
paying attention to, and this season can be a successful
one that people feel good about it. It's got to
start in a game like this, and if it doesn't,
(12:43):
you just you keep waiting. And the longer you're waiting,
the more people throw up their hands and go all right,
it just ain't gonna happen. So we'll see twenty nine

the Reds absolutely must have. Arizona and the Dodgers get
underway in about fifteen minutes. Mets and Cubs play one
more time at Wrigley Field tonight again two nothing, Reds
top six at g A BP. We've been on the
(10:06):
air for twenty minutes. It feels like we've been on
the air for three hours that game on Saturday. We're
just talking about it with JB.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Long.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
If this is ever gonna get going, and when I
say this, the UC football program under its current leadership,
if this is ever gonna get going, it really sort
of starts. It has to start happening now. And you know,
I know, it's the fourth game, it's the Big twelve opener,
they're on the road, they're underdogs. But if you want
(10:37):
to make people start to feel like, you know what,
this program is on the right path trajectory. The program
is a good one. Coaching staff should remain in place.
Program is in a good place. You gotta start challenging
in your conference. You gotta start winning road games. You
gotta start delivering the sort of victories that make people
(10:59):
perk up up. You got to do more than just
tread water. I think, frankly, you have to do more
than just go six and six. So, all right, the
Nebraska game unfolded the way it did. What I want
to know on Saturday is quite simply, does the Nebraska
game turn out to be an outlier where you know what,
By the way, Key Brian Hayes is back in the
(11:19):
game playing third base, the Nebraska game is an outlier,
and they're better on the outside and more explosive offensively
than they were last season. Even if the Nebraska game
didn't prove that well, then on Saturday and Lawrence, then
they should be able to throw the ball downfield. Brendan
(11:41):
Soursby doesn't have to, you know, throw for four hundred
and fifty yards. It's got to throw for more than
sixty nine. So do we see more of the same
in that regard. If the answer is no, they got
a shot. Kansas is good. Kansas is really good on
the offensive line. West Virginia. I watched that game last Saturday.
West Virginia was I think fourth or third or fourth
(12:01):
in FBS college football in sacks. They were dominated upfront.
So we'll see if Dante Corleone plays on Saturday, you
see going to be dominated up front. And are they
gonna be able to throw the ball deep? Are they
gonna be able to have explosiveness and can against a
good team or at least a P four team. Can
(12:23):
they take more advantage of Joe Royer than they did
against Nebraska, where he had three catches for eleven yards.
Like you want to make people feel like, hey, this
is this is gonna work, and this program is worth
paying attention to, and this season can be a successful
one that people feel good about it. It's got to
start in a game like this, and if it doesn't,
(12:43):
you just you keep waiting. And the longer you're waiting,
the more people throw up their hands and go all right,
it just ain't gonna happen. So we'll see twenty nine

day for guests. I don't know how much time we'll
have for phone call today. I'll be totally honest with you,
