All role college football coming up tonight. Big games coming

Notre Dame, A and M Clemson, Georgia, Miami and Florida. Wow,
(01:33):
that is going to be spicy, all right, poll question,
play of the day, stat of the day, all of
that coming up. Good morning, those watching on Peacock, our
streaming partner, thank you for downloading the app. I'm to
go back to Colorado getting by North Dakota State. We
said it a tough team to open up with. North
Dakota State is a really good team. If this game
was at North Dakota State, I think they would have
(01:55):
won that game. But give credit to Colorado. They did
what they needed to do when they needed to do it.
But it wasn't pretty. It's not going to be pretty
this year. But they do have two first round draft picks.
Travis Hunter, pick what you want to do. You want
to be a receiver, you want to be a defensive back,
Maybe you want to be both Shudor Sanders is going
to be a first round draft pick as well. But
(02:17):
defense not very good, and they're gonna have some explosive plays.
They're gonna be in shootouts. It feels like every single weekend.
But they came through when they needed to. And here's
Dion after the win.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You got to take what people give you.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
You can't take what you want and it's not there.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I mean, what is it? What do you throw for
four yards? You think we upset?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Who upset?
Speaker 6 (02:46):
So?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
They ever run a game?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Well, the passing game will pretty darn good today.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
So let's let's let's be appreciative and thankful that we
got one of the premier guys in college football spending it.
We're gonna run the ball. We're gonna do that. We're
gonna have a lot more ballats. Today was just that
type of day. You got to take what they give.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You, okay, But then there was a play towards the
end of the game where Dion's sun shoulder put it
up for grabs and Dion apparently didn't call the play.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
At the end of the.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Game, we just want to run the ball, let's get
out of here, and he took a shot, you know,
to Legonte because he wanted Le Johnsay to have a
big play because you got the other two guys, the dogs,
having a big play and they and he know he's
going to have one on one matchup. He's just to
put it out there far enough. But that's his character.
I'm like, come on, dog, not right now. You know,
it's not time to be the good guy. Right now,
(03:35):
it's time let's put this game away. But that's that's
what that was.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Come on, dog, dog, Come on dog. That explains a
lot because I'm thinking, the last thing you're gonna do
is throw the ball, last thing. And then he throws
it and I'm going, oh my god, and you can
see Dion's like what are you doing? And then you
have to punt and they North Dakota State almost made
(04:01):
them pay for it. But it was fun. It was
fun to watch. But you know, that gap we have
between FCS and FBS, it might be a little closer
than what we really think. Because Montana State got paid
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars buy New Mexico to
go and play New Mexico and then go to New
Mexico and beat New Mexico Montana State is really good.
(04:24):
Four point win North Dakota State. They're the second favorite
for the national championship. So these are quality teams there.
You have about remember when Appalachian State would play and
they opened up with Michigan one year and you're like,
oh boy, that's not a team to open up with,
and then they ended up winning in Michigan. You have
(04:46):
that occasionally where you had these teams. South Dakota State
defending FCS champs. Now they're playing Oklahoma State in Stillwater.
Oklahoma State, I believe, has twenty starters back, and I mean,
would I be surprised if that game's really closer South
Dakota State won. I would not be because they're nine
(05:07):
and a half point underdogs, just like North Dakota State
was with Colorado. Oklahoma State is better than Colorado. But
these are two really good teams on the road, and
you know they need to do this. They want to
schedule out of conference. They want to schedule with the
bigger boys, so when they go back and they're playing
in their conference, in their division, that they're ready to go.
(05:28):
So you know, FCS, FBS, I know it's sometimes not
as blurred as we think it should be, but there
are probably five to seven programs that can go toe
to toe with some of these schools, now, not Georgia,
not Alabama, but with some of these other schools absolutely,
(05:48):
and Colorado taking on North Dakota State. I don't know
if Dion scheduled that, but you know that's one of
those where you go, wait, we're open up with them.
It's that's one of those where you go, well, even TCU,
but Colorado would get these games because people probably wanted
to schedule Colorado because they weren't very good. Now with
(06:10):
Colorado getting a little bit better, and you certainly saw
that last night, you know the schedule is going to
change where maybe you don't take chances like this, but
give credit, Colorado ended up winning the game. And Travis
Hunter is probably the leading candidate for the sept Heisman
the month of September. He is the Heisman front runner
(06:30):
so far only because the other front runners, the favorites,
haven't played. But he's great and I'm looking at the
number of plays that he was involved in. He played
one and twenty nine snaps, fifty seven on offense, seventy
two on defense, wide receiver, defensive back, corner safety, a
(06:53):
linebacker at one point. Pretty remarkable. I mean, the best
player on the field. And I know people are going
to say, and we talked about it last year, and
that is could he be a two way player? Talent wise, yes,
time wise probably not, because you have to be in
the receivers meetings, offensive meetings, and then you'd have to
(07:16):
be in the defensive meetings. You have to go out
and then have reps at practice. I think what will
happen with Travis is he would probably be a defense
Like it's easier to find a wide receiver than it
is a great cornerback. You can find great wide receivers,
great cornerbacks. How many great cornerbacks do we have in
(07:37):
the NFL right now? Not a lot. We have a
lot of great wide receivers. He might go in as
a corner and then maybe you have ten plays that
you us him for five plays you're usinghim for maybe
a punt return. He's that talented. And Shardoor Sanders is
going to be a first round draft pick, probably going
to be a Heisman candidate, maybe more so than you know,
(08:00):
Travis Hunter. But Dion got the win, and uh, it
was fun. I enjoyed that game. I was not going
to be surprised if North Dakota State won that game. Also,
you had other I thought North Carolina Minnesota was going
to be the game of the night, and it turned
out to be came down to the final seconds. Minnesota
had a chance to win that missed a field goal.
(08:20):
It was fun, fun to watch that back and forth,
and uh, North Carolina ended up getting the win. Seaton,
what's pull question today?
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Well, we could start with if you were Travis Hunter,
which would you play in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Offense or defense? Okay, well, you're going to get paid
more as a wide receiver if you're an elite wide receiver.
But it feels like, I mean, he might be just
one of those guys on defense that you do pay
a lot more because he's going to be reminiscent of
Dion or Durell Reeves, Champ Bailey, you know those guys
(08:55):
that are just difference makers. But I think he would
go in as a defensive back. But he I mean,
he might be looking at these salaries that these you know,
receivers are getting and going, yeah, it'd be nice to
be able to play defense. But nobody knows if you're
great as a cornerback. Nobody knows who you are because
you're not involved in plays, because you're taking away the
(09:16):
best wide receiver. The ball's not going over to you,
and as a wide receiver, you're gonna be in the
conversation constantly, So he might go, you know, I kind
of like the money in the spotlight there as opposed
to being a lockdown corner.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Yeah at six what six' one six two, that's pretty
good guy.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, it's for a corner.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Yeah, you know what I like about him going in
as a as a cornerback. He would play every play
as a corner, and then you could sneak him in
as a wide receiver on the offense. Sure, if he's
a wide receiver, you're not snee throw him out in
corner for a couple of plays.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, Pauline, what if Travis.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
Hunter went the other direction? I know, you just laid
out the reasons why you can't be a semi full
time to way player. What if he did the same
thing Otani did when he negotiated with the MLB teams
and said I'm going to play full time ish both ways,
and that's how he ended up at the Angels. Now
he may drop in the draft because of that, because
if he's demanding like that, But he could also be
(10:11):
one of the more novel unique players of the next
generation in the NFL. If he says, I want to
play forty plays a game on both sides of.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
The ball, well, I don't know what his salary would be,
but you could get kind of two salaries if you're
playing two different positions, I would think. Now the question is,
are team's going to want him to play both? Allow
him to play both. But it certainly worked out for
Sho heeo Tani and the Angels. Yes, Todd, you could.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
Squeeze too much out of a great player that can
do both, and then all of a sudden he's injured
because he asks too much of him to play offense
and defense, and now you've lost him for either side
of the ball.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah. Well, I think he's talent enough that even at
seventy five percent at both positions, he's still going to
be pretty elite. He's great, But he was the number
one recruit in America and went to Jackson State with
Dion and then transferred when Dion left. But what other
pole questions are we thinking about today. Tod's got a
couple of interesting ones too. We didn't get to our
(11:08):
usual Thursday round of Todd bo questions, but he's back
again on Friday. Okay, cool, Okay.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
After watching the game last night, the Colorado Buffaloes are
going to be much better than I thought in trouble
and will struggle just to be Bowl eligible. How impressed
were you with the Buffaloes last night?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I wasn't. I was impressed with a couple of players.
That defense is not good and North Dakota State could
run when they wanted to run. There was very little
pass rush, it felt like. But they're going to have
explosive plays. They're just going to be in shootouts. I
think you just have to lock yourself in and say
it's going to be a wild ride. Do I think
(11:50):
six wins seven wins possibility? Sure, just because you have
a great quarterback and you have a couple of great
wide receivers and Dion's they're still going to run the football.
But I with his son as the quarterback changing plays
and Elias Scrimmage and who knows. By the way, the
four ranked teams were in action last night, won by
(12:12):
a combined score of one to eighty six to twenty four.
Western Carolina scored twenty one of the twenty four points.
They lost to North Carolina State and uh Missouri and
Utah had shutouts there. Utah's quarterback is Cam Rising. He
had five touchdown passes. Utah blew out Southern Utah. He's
(12:33):
a seventh year senior, last of a last of a breed,
seventh year senior. Now, I watched the Rose Bowl when
he blew out his knee. That was twenty twenty three,
and here we are, and he is a seventh year senior.
Like we need to cap it. Like you should get
five years to play Mike, right, I mean, I know
(12:57):
you had the COVID and there's transfer portal, and but
seven years time down to the real world.
Speaker 9 (13:04):
You're not an idol.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Listen, Yes, the real world. The rest of us have
to college.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I did stay on off campus at the University of
Dayton for a few years after I graduated. I lived
off campus, but I wasn't taking classes. I just like
the atmosphere. You know, the beer was cheap, so was
the rent, and no short supply of shorties if you
know what I mean. Yes, PAULI cam Rising was born
(13:29):
in the nineties. That's it entire statement.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Eight seven seven three DP show email andres Sdpadanpatrick dot
com Twitter handle a DP show Buddha in San Francisco.
Good morning, Buddha, no buddy.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Happy to meet Friday Boys, Minister of humor. Let's go
baby DP. I don't know about Marvin, but I slept
a whole lot better her last night after getting Brandon
and I used notification last night. That was my goodness.
In the words of seeding jeepers, creepers, that was getting
ridiculous and uh Coach Prime, Dan wrote riding his two
(14:12):
horses and first round draft picks and Heisman hopefuls. I mean,
winning the opener was great and for content, but I
feel like Colorado is a ticking time bomb Dan, Like
they they only have so many wins in them and
then when they start losing, that's when it's gonna get
interesting and it starts unraveling, because you know, Coach Prime
has got some got some ego there, but we'll see
how he handles it all. And I don't know, it's
(14:34):
just going to be interesting to watch. So you guys
have a great weekend.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Boys.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Thank you. Buddha. Can we look at Colorado's schedule? I
know they have Colorado State. Uh, the Big twelve isn't
as formidable as it has been, Yes, Bully.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
The next few weeks at Nebraska at Colorado State Home
Baylor at Central Florida, Kansas State, Arizona, Cincinnati, Texas Tech, Utah, Kansas,
Oklahoma State. Okay, it's like all be teams like.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, well Utah, Utah might be a really good team.
Utah might be in the in the playoffs. Oklahoma State's good.
I don't know if they're great, but okay, at Colorado State.
That was a great game last year. They could lose
at Nebraska. I don't even know what the line is
(15:26):
on that, but uh, Nebraska, I think it's going to
be a lot better. Star freshman quarterback, Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
Just to give you an idea how old Cam Rising
is from Utah. He was in the same recruiting class
as Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Micah Parsons, amar ros Saint Brown,
and Jalen Waddle. Okay, all guys who are going on
to their second NFL contracts.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Can you buy us some beer?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Excuse me, excuse me, sir, Hey, could you buy us
the six pack?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Please? Hey, mister s could you.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Buy us a six pack?
Speaker 10 (16:01):
Place runs and I are looking for a thirty pack.
We'll pay you extra anything as long as it's not
an ice. Did you guys ask people to buy you
beer in high school? But stay outside the convenience store
off to the side. Oh yeah, as you would see
somebody who was, like, I don't know, five years older
than you, you'd be like, hey, hey, Mike, yeah, what
(16:25):
I'm not buying you beer?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I wasn't going to ask you to, but you know,
now that you bring it up, would you buy some beer?
A six pack or something? All right, let me take
a break. Just getting started, we will settle on our
pole question, big college football weekend. We'll run down the
point spreads. There a couple of surprisers. There is surpriser
worn surpriser weekend. A couple of surprisers. See if surpriser

Speaker 2 (17:22):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
What what are you doing interrupting our promo? Yeah, you
wasn't talking about you. You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 12 (17:32):

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Yee.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
He works on the show that precedes ours on Fox
Sports Radio Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Former
Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn part of Big Noon Kickoff,
mark Ingram Matt Liner, Urban Meyer. Brady Quinn alongside Rob
Stone the Stoner. They are going to be in Morgantown
coming up this weekend and you can watch it on
(18:10):
the Big New Kickoff. Great to talk to you again.
How's morale Brady Morale's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Right now, we're in Morgantown, West Virginia for the big
matchup between Penn State and West Virginia, and you know, Dan,
we've never been here before, so this is a it's
a fun experience for us, always one to new places.
Seeing the excitement, you know, with West West Virginia, how
they played last year, some of the fans feel like
this is probably as good of a team, or at least
they're they're feeling this way to going in the season.
(18:38):
But it's good of a team since Gino Smith and
Tebon Austin and that group really came through Morgantown.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
So a lot of excitement from the Mountaineers.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Feels like every year at this time we talk about
Penn State and we go, Okay, are they in the
Ohio State Michigan category? They're in the very good category.
Handicapped Penn State this year because I know there's gonna
be a white out night and it's gonna be great
and it's gonna be festive, and then at the end
(19:06):
of the year they're ten and two.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Well, but the difference with ten and two this year
is ten and two will get you rid of the
play with a twelve team playoffs.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Okay, and actually, if you go back through the past
decade of the fourteenth playoff, if it was twelve, let's
just say hypothetically it was twelve teams, Penn State would
have been in six times. So I think that narrative
probably changes a lot for James Frank won in Penn
State as far as just how consistently good they've been
with the exception of facing Ohio State Michigan.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
This is the year though, where I feel like it's
gonna be different.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
And for that reason, one, they've got new coordinators on
both sides of the ball.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Their defense has never got an issue.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
I think Tom Allen, the format coach in Indiana, would
do a tremendous job. That moves some pieces around on
defense too to kind of fit what they need. But
it's more about Andykotnikki, the offensive coordinator comes in from Kansas,
extremely creative. Look, they're gonna run the football. You have
k Tron Allen Nicks singles at a running back. There's
a tour of the best in college football. That's the
bread and butter. But it's getting the most out of
(20:07):
Drewaler and if he can do that. I think this guy,
he reminds me a lot of Ben Roethlisberger. He's big,
he's athletic, he's got a big arm. You just see
some inaccuracy here and there, and then then the short
intermediate throws sometimes. You know, he has a hard time
creating to make some things happen. But you see flashes
(20:27):
of what I'm talking about in regards to Big Ben
and some of the similarities. So if he can get
that out of it more consistently, I think they're gonna
be a team that's gonna be competing for the Big Ten,
probably with Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Okay, yeah, LSU and USC. That's sneaky in Vegas handicap
those two. LSU losing Jayden Daniels, USC losing Caleb Williams.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, it's funny, you know, talking to Lincoln Riley this offseason,
one of the things he mentioned was how they lose
that improvisational skill set that Caleb brings. But you know,
Miller Moss kind of plays more maybe within the system,
you know, maybe more what you want from a play
caller or a coach, And it led me to think that,
you know, moving on from a guy like Caleb Williams,
(21:11):
who is a generational talent, but now having a guy
in the quarterback spot that maybe it's not quite as talented.
Maybe when they do when maybe maybe when they do
have that success, it feels more's a team as opposed
to it.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Just being one individual carrying that team.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
And I got the sense that they feel like they're
a better spot from a team perspective. Obviously, the changes
on the defensive staff will be part of that hit
the portal again to help that group. But I got
the sense that this team feels like they're in a
better spot than where they were before, where a lot
of things were just kind of about Caleb Williams and
all they heard was how bad they were everywhere else
besides Caleb Williams. So I think Lincoln Riley feels like
(21:48):
he's in a better spot from that standpoint. But again,
the transition to the Big Ten is gonna be tough,
and starting off versus LSU isn't going to help build
a lot of momentum because elis who's an extremely talented team.
You know, I think Garrett Splier's going to pick up
right where Jane Daniels left offs. Now he's not gonna
have Mike Nrock there calling places for him. However, Brian
Kelly has been through coaching changes before. He's an extremely
(22:09):
successful head coach, so he will be able to write
that shit. I'm not sure how that this opening game
like this will play out. I would lean more towards
LSU with some of the talent they have, some the
continuity they have too, compared to some of the change
that you've got it at USC with the defense and
opstadion quarterback.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
How do we get here with Clemson where they were
in the conversation for national title and now all of
a sudden has debo.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
It feels like they dropped a little bit here. Not
I mean, what are they sixteenth in the country, but
still they're twelve point underdogs against Georgia and he doesn't
take transfers or nil or you know, he's got his
principles there. Now. It feels like the Natives are getting
restless here with Dabo.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
And there's something to be said for kind of sticking
to what you believe your identity is, what you want.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
To kind of create your program around. There's something to
be said for that.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
However, I think everyone would agree you have to adapt
with the times. If you want to survive, and if
you want to be considered one of the top teams.
In order to do that, you've got to participate in nil.
You've got to be able to supplement your roster the
transfer portal. I mean, you look at some teams, for example,
like Colorado, they're making wholesale changes in.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
A transfer portal. Now I'm not saying that's the way
of doing it.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Maybe it is, though, you know, maybe coach Prime after
the win last night, be able. They'll prove otherwise that
you could turn over a roster every off season if
you will, And for the most part, as long as
you have a quarterback and a few of the key pieces.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
You can go win some football games.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
But they've been really resistant to do that, and I
think we've seen it kind of hurt them in some
spots where Look, I mean, high school recruiting is not
exact science. So when you're bringing these kids up, you know,
you don't know how they're going to develop, You don't
know what they're going to turn into three or four
years down the road. So I think that's hurt them
a little bit. And not being able to replace some
of the spots that they've missed. They've obviously lost some
(24:01):
coordinators too. I think that always plays a role and
try to replace good coordinators that come in underneath you.
Every head coach that has dealt with that nick statement
did but probably more successfully than others. But I think
it's a lack of wanting to adapt to the times
that being able to supplement's spots where maybe they've missed
and so what they've been down. But I mean not
down to the grand schema things, just more down to
(24:21):
the degree that Dabble I think created for him.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So talking to Brady Quinn, Fox College football analyst, Big
noon Kickoff in Morgantown coming up this weekend. Coverage starts
at ten am Eastern on Fox. Also one of the
hosts on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, the
show that preceeds hours on Fox Sports Radio. Let me
start with Shudor Sanders. What do you see I mean?
(24:43):
Are we talking first round high, first round talent at quarterback.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Yes, I think he's going to compete with Carson Beck
for the number one overall quarterback and for these reasons,
you know, I think a lot of the conversation about
shador Or Colorado and coach Prime intends of being all
this stuff outside of foot for the most part, right
when you watch him, First off, he's an incredibly accurate passer,
and so that translates to no matter what level football
you're playing. The thing that I love about him the most,
(25:11):
it's really truefold and it kind of goes hand in hand.
It's his poise and his toughness. I mean, how many
times did we see last year and even just last
night he hangs in there. He hangs in there, or
even he buys time to hang in there until someone
separates or gets open and he delivers a strike and
gets blasted. That is something that you cannot coach. You
cannot teach. You either have that or you don't. And
(25:33):
you could tell he's put on some muscle to this offseason,
I think to prepare himself for that because let's just
be honest, where our offensive line is at, they're probably
going to face more of those issues, especially if they're
not balance running the football. But that poise and toughness
always gives them a shot. And he is one of
the best quarterbacks. And he's got some extremely talented skilled
players in Travis Hunter and Jimmy Horn junior.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
So they're going to hang around a lot of games.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
But I think if he continues on this path, they
keep winning football games, I think he's gonna be up
for the Heisman.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
He'll be up bat only for that number one overall
spot in the draft.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
The interesting thing is going to be is if he
gets still the attention for the Heisman even if the
team doesn't win quite as many games because of the
heavy lift that he's got.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You know, with that Colorado team, if.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
You're Travis Hunter, would you gear up to be defensive
back or wide receiver in the NFL?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Oh Man, I mean looking at these wide receiver contracts.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
What I said, Yeah, I agree, Brandon.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
I you frustrated with a four year ABO one hundred
and twenty million dollars contract.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I he's all just strata about it.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
But people are gonna say, oh, you know, he can
play both both ways, and I said, you can't because
you're going to be in defensive meetings offensive meetings, like
you can't meet two places at one time. Or could he?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I think he could.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
You know, you figure out a way of the schedule
scheduling so you get him caught up to speed.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
On both but full time on both sides of the ball, or.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Maybe not full time, and you're gonna have players you
rotate out any way as a wide receiver. And so
if I was looking at it realistically of how that
would work, I think he'd be out there full time
as a defensive back and then a wide receiver. He'd
be in probably sixty to seventy percent of the play.
And I think that's that's possible.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Wow, Now you gotta go.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
You gotta be good about how you hide that, because
you can't just throw him in there on place where
you know they're throwing the football right because every team's
scouty report and go, hey, Travison, it's gonna be a pass.
So you've got to be careful about that. I think
he's the type of athlete and we're a talent that could.
I know there's a lot of people who are going
to track from that and say it's an NFL schedule,
he won't be able to take the physicality and the beating.
(27:41):
I would love to see him try that. I'd love
to least see him try to see if he could
do it.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Could you have played like inside linebacker as well as quarterback?
Same time.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
I think in my mind I would like to think that,
but in reality most likely not, especially having a brother
in law who played that position and always.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I mean, if you ever notice, like as hands, I
used to see this after.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
He played games, like he kind of holds him like
this because they'd be so mangled, like he couldn't break
his wrists or everything else. His hands would be all
beat up. They looked like, you know, big fish hooks
is really what they look like.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So your brother's aj Hawk. Did he ever hit you?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Of course? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Yes, the Bowl, he actually you know a lot of
people don't know this. He actually got me twice. He
beat me twice. When we're in sixth grade, we played
in a Dayton league. We like couldn't find enough teams
apparently in central Ohio, so we gonna travel a Dayton
every every Saturday to go play. And he played for
Centerble and their team beat us in the championship of
that back in sixth grade, and obviously they beat us
(28:39):
in the Fiesta Bowl as well.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Has he hit you off the field?
Speaker 6 (28:44):
No, No, We every once in a while we'll kind
of test each other, you know, kind of like the
probably hug that like evolves into like testing to.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
See like how he responds and stuff. But he actually
tore his peck.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
And so every single time I see him and mess
with him, poke him where I know he taurus peck
where kind of hurts him, and messes.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
With him a little bit. I like it.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
And then every once in a while I'll act like
I'm gonna shoot, try to do like a takedown or something.
But he's got a little crazy at him, like to
be married to my older sister, Like he's got to
be a little He always says she's crazy, but he's
crazy too.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah, but you tried to wrestle Will Ferrell a year
ago at this time when we were in Ireland, and.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
That was a mistake. If I'm looking back on that,
I had no idea. By the way, Will looks great
for his age. I had no idea his age. And
then I realized, like there could have been a broken
hip involved, there could have been a cardiac event, and
I regret that. I apologize, and I mean, I think
I just got caught up in a moment there in Ireland,
which I think we all did if we're being.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Honest with yes, that is true. More concerning Alabama, without
Saban or Michigan without Harbaugh.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
I think it's Alabama without Saban, and it's twofold.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
The first is, if you're a Kalyn de Bor, you're
a great coach.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
We've seen his track round it so far, but you're
replacing the goat, And so how do you even go
about putting your fingerprints on something that it's not like
it needs to be fixed, Like he just decided to
hang it up. So now you've got to try to
find your own spin on it and equate to even
a portion of the success that Nick sab It had
and it's incredibly difficult to do.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
So that in and of itself is hard.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
And then I think for Caitlyn de Boor, looking at
what he has, I think Jalen milro is one of
the best quarterbacks in college football. But if you look
at what Kaitlyn de Boor was one with Michael Pennix
for the two years he was in Washington, he transformed
him from a different player from his time in Indiana
and they threw the football all around the field. I
don't know that Jaylen Milroe out the gate will be
(30:40):
able to do that this year. So how do you
go back constructing the offense to play to those strengths.
That'll be another one of those challenges. And I think
for Michigan, Look, we already saw Schroon or Or play
some football last year. And if I had to ask
you what you think the identity of mission is this year,
it's probably we're going to say together the run game
and really salty defense.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Right.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
I mean, I had a first round quarterback last year
and they'll stilled their identity.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
So that's not going to change even though Jim Harball's
not there.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
But can you see Harball try to bring Michigan to
the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Yeah, he just signed uh Hassan Haskins.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
I mean he's literally signing players out there that used
to be on his roster.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
But I think that's also part of what you do
as a head coach.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Right, Can you run the football like? Can he play
Michigan style in the NFL?
Speaker 6 (31:26):
Yeah, I don't think there's any doubt about it. I
mean you've got to adapt and change a little bit.
But go back to the San Francisco teams. I mean,
you figure out a way of utilizing Colin Kaeprick to
make him effective in the running game. I mean, if
I'm not a stake in going back those years with
Frank Gore is incredibly productive and a salty defense.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
I mean, that's how they built that roster and built
that team.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
And I think he made a statement too, and he
took Joel and not because he's an enter dame guy,
but because that's how they built those teams. If you
look at Michigan and when he probably got there, he
looked at it and says, if I'm watching Bama, if
I'm watching Georgia, everyone's talking about the trench.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Like we just talk about still players. All we want.
Would would we go every week to see these teams.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
I can almost surely sit there and go that team's
gonna win, that team's gonna lose. It's because how they
look up front, sure on both sides of the football.
And I think that's what he's trying to get to.
That's why he took a mammoth of a human being.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
And Joel behave down there in Morgantown. You can get
in trouble.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
I've heard that before. I've heard that before. I'm still
looking for uh, I'm still looking for a little fun.
Maybe we can do something with the Mountaineer or something,
you know, get that old musket out there.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Clo uh Seaton went to uh went to West Virginia
for a little while. Did my cameo?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
People? Why why a little while? Well? Why a little while?
What happened?
Speaker 7 (32:43):
If you just refer back to that trouble that you
get into U, we're telling you I took full advantage
of that in my tenure there.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Not ten years, but tenures, ten years ten years there,
I mean, so.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
I'm not judging if it was ten years, by the way,
not judgment.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Did you ever get in trouble at Notre Dame like socially?
Speaker 6 (33:03):
No, there is an incident one time where there's construction
near my dorm. I lived lived in zomb Hall, which,
to give you any indication, it's not even a dorm anymore.
It was a little bit of a wild dorm.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I guess.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
But we don't pick. We get kind of thrown in there.
I had driven on campus. I think it was in
the summertime or maybe it was like maybe just started
the season and it was an area where there was construction,
and so there's a gate to get on campus.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
You can't just like drive on wherever you want.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
It's really hard to get on, and so they had
let me go on because I think I was like
dropping people off or something.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
But the person at the gate told me to drive
on a sidewalk area because there's constructions.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Wise I couldn't get back to the dorm, and I
did so there happened to be like a Notre Dame
police officer there. She was not too happy about that.
So that became like a big incident. Or there's like
cop cars everywhere, and then they all it took was
one radio up to the guard game and they're like, yeah,
sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I told them you do that. So that was about
the most trouble I got in.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
But there was like ATVs there's like three cop cars
surrounding like the dorms, like everyone's looking outside, and I
was like, this looks a lot worse than what actually
happened here.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
It sounds like a boring college career.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
It had to be boring, though, man, when you're when
you're the quarterback of Notre.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Dame and I'm sure you know Sam Hartman and his
hair dealt with this last year. You know Riley Lennon's
dealing with this. Now is you get noticed everywhere? I
mean I remember even like afterwards, like we've been on
international trips in Italy or Ireland, like you've got people
randomly just go hey, I remember watching a Notre Dame.
It's it's it's one of those things that kind of
(34:39):
it comes with the territory.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
All right, Well, have some fun down there. Thanks for
joining us. As always, Brady, I'll have a lot of
fun liners here.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
So you know that.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Liner didn't get cheated in college though, no.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
He did not.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
He had a great day, Rady. He should have stayed
an extra year at USC.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I mean think about you, say, like seven years.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Now, Liner should still be at USC's forty years old. Yeah,
thank you, Brady, Brady Quinn there in Morgantown, it's been
state and in West Virginia Big noon kickoff. Also, he's
one of the co hosts on Two Pros and a
(35:22):
Cup of Joe, the show that preceeds hours on Fox
Sports Radio. Will come back update the poll results. Dak
Prescott has some interesting things to say about his owner
and the NFL team that will drop out of the
playoff mix from last year. Have that for you After this.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Wap I was curious the last time Clemson came into
a game as an underdog of ten or more points.
September of twenty twelve, Clemson tenth in the country, fourteen
and a half point underdog at number four Florida State.
Florida State won that game forty nine to thirty seven,
twelve point underdog against Georgia. Coming up on Saturday. He's
(36:09):
Mike Sando back on the program, senior NFL writer at
the Athletic and he has ranked the quarterbacks different tiers here,
so it's not ranking them now. This is yearly that
he does this, and for the first time since twenty sixteen,
only three quarterbacks landed in Tier one. Aaron Rodgers not
(36:30):
there for the first time in the eleven year history
that he's been doing it. Mike, good to see you again. Now,
based on your rankings, the lowest ranked quarterback who will
start Week one is who.
Speaker 13 (36:44):
Probably Jacoby Brissett by to scroll all the way down,
johe Verssett is just seen as a really great backup
quarterback and somebody you wouldn't probably want to have start
the whole season, so it may be a little unfair
to compare him to the other guys that are earning
a lot more money. But we wanted to have all
the veterans starters represented, and I think that probably accurately
(37:05):
reflects how even the Patriots feel about him. They wanted
to start, but probably not for too long.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Did you think about putting Mahomes on his own tier? Well?
Speaker 13 (37:15):
I did. First off, to do this ranking, I talked
to fifty coaches and execs in the league, seven GM's,
eight head coaches, a dozen coordinators, a bunch of people.
So it's there rankings really based on their criteria that
I've gleaned from them. And one of the comments was
from one of the guys I spoke with, can we
have a tier zero for Mahomes? Because I think Mahomes
is different Historically, Dan, if you look at the multiple
(37:39):
championship winning quarterbacks, you can start Bradshaw, you know, Joe Montana,
get into Aikman far Brady. They usually did it with
not just good defenses, but elite. The forty nine ers
led the league in fewest points allowed in the eighties.
People don't really know that Mahomes in nineteen and twenty
two the Super Bowl on teams that weren't even top
(38:02):
half of the league. And then last year's defense was
good and he was able to win it without as
good of an offense. But that is a differentiator to me,
not just among the quarterbacks playing today, but it's hard
to find guys who win multiple championships without really good defenses.
And that's why Brady and that's why Rogers and Breeze
great Quarterbacks Hall of Famers, one ring each. That was
(38:26):
the missing component. They couldn't overcome it. Mahomes has.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
So you have three quarterbacks on Tier one, Mahomes and
then the other two quarterbacks.
Speaker 13 (38:38):
Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, with Lamar Jackson just next, missing
Tier one by about three votes.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
But if I factor in turnovers here with Josh Allen,
like how do you quantify the turnovers? And he's had
more turnovers than any other quarterback, I.
Speaker 13 (38:56):
Don't think any Whenever I talked to coaches or executives,
they never start talking about stats. They're not the number
one reason that Allen wasn't higher and unanimous he got
eleven votes lower than Tier one, was because the turnovers.
Sometimes he just risks the football too much. They do
feel though he can not only carry an offense. One
(39:18):
of the key components of Tier one for people in
the league is how expertly do you handle the peer
pass situations? Meaning we strip away the run game, we
even strip away your scrambling. Can you drop back to
win the game when we're down and throw and throw
and throw? And they do feel that, not only mahomes
but Burrow and Alan do that just to tick better
(39:42):
than the other quarterbacks that are below them in the league.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Hmm. You know, guys who played the position they love
Burrow like they really they Now, the sample size isn't
as big for me as I think it needs to
be to look at his greatness. I mean we saw
it in college. Obviously they did get to the super Bowl.
He's been banged up a little bit, but it's amazing
(40:04):
how these former quarterbacks look at him and they they
see something, you know, Montana like like special, really really special.
Obvious not mahomes Ian, But what is it about Burrow
that makes him, you know, one of the you know,
two best quarterbacks in the league the three toughness.
Speaker 13 (40:23):
Swag and just incredible passing ability. I think he's really
a good. Just has an amazing feel for the game.
The defensive guys marvel about him too. More than one
defensive coordinator told me about the time their team played him.
Beat the snot out of them, hit him, and the
defensive linemen are coming back to the coach going, oh
my gosh, this is a real guy.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
So I think he really does have You know, he
takes a lot of boxes.
Speaker 13 (40:47):
Now people all the worry is he takes too many
hits and he's had too many injuries. You know, usually
the great quarterbacks don't miss games. I mean even you know,
these guys who play for a lot time, they have
two hundred starts in a row if they're Rivers or
some of the ELI, some of your guys or yeah,
farv and so that's the weird thing. One defensive coach
(41:09):
who played him a number of times said, the guy
doesn't fall right. I don't know if there's some science
to that, but usually these guys like Burrow have such
a great feel for the game that they kind of
avoid some of those injuries.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
How do you evaluate rock Perdy Well?
Speaker 13 (41:26):
So brock Purdy moved up thirteen spots from last year.
He was a little bit of a provisional guy last
year because he didn't have as many starts coming in.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
But here's what I think.
Speaker 13 (41:35):
Everybody points to Kyle Shanahan and the weaponry, and I
think that's rightly so. But if you're just a consistent producer,
you're gonna move solidly into Tier two. And if he
were to do this for ten years straight, he'd probably
find his way into Tier one. But when people play him,
they're not like, oh my god, there's not some amazing
(41:57):
superpower that he has the wows you. You just can't
discount the production when it's that good and consistent. So
I think that's why he's in tier two. He's kind
of in the bottom half of Tier two. I bet
you he could come up to the middle. But I
do see a little bit of a line. If you
look at the first four guys in Tier two, Lamar, Herbert, Stafford, Rogers,
(42:19):
those guys are like, it's a debate. They get a
ton of Tier one ers, you know, tier one votes.
I'm not sure Perdy. We'll see if Perdy is going
to get that. You know, maybe he leads them to
the Super Bowl win and.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
That does it. If I think we looked at the
numbers the other day. Mahomes has had the best start
of a career I think of any quarterback in the
modern era.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
But if I look at him and Brady at twenty seven,
twenty eight years of age, is that a fair comparison.
I gives Brady second to Mahomes if we look at
that first, you know, five years, six years in the league.
Speaker 13 (42:59):
I think he is because I think the composition of
that New England team, they were so good defensively from
the from the start, and he was amazing unless not.
I mean we're comparing a Ferrari and Lamborghini here, not
discounting Tom Brady at all. But I do look at
degree of difficulty, and to me, the way you look
at that is just what are the things that the
(43:20):
quarterback can't control an influence? Yeah, you can put your
defense in a better position or a worse position.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
But that is what I look at.
Speaker 13 (43:28):
Defense and even special teams was was lights out I
think for most of the Belichick era. So to me,
it's been a little bit higher degree of difficulty, with
probably more placed on the quarterback Earlier. I think the
way you know, the mobility of Mahomes and his resourcefulness
that way, you know, has probably put a little bit
(43:48):
more of it on his back than it was for
Brady that early. You look at Tom Brady going along
when they get to seven and they had the weaponry,
then I think he, you know, was really putting it
on his shoulders more.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
Talking to Sando's senior NFL writer at the athletic and
eleven year history of ranking these quarterbacks in different tiers,
and for the first time in the eleven year history,
Aaron Rodgers is not in that tier one. How do
you assess Rogers now or how did the coaches assess Rogers?
Speaker 13 (44:18):
Yeah, I think everybody, most people feel that if he's healthy,
he's still a top tier quarterback. But he got votes
in like four tiers. I mean, it's kind of silly,
but there's a lot of uncertainty. There's some feeling among
people that hey, he wasn't quite as good at the
end of Green Bay then doesn't last very long New Environment,
(44:38):
whole season on turf. All sort of believe it when
I see it. So a good number of people, I
think twenty three put him in tier one, but eighteen
people that put him in tier two were probably thinking
that I'm just going to knock him down a tier
because there is some uncertainty. And then there was a
minority of people nine that put him in that put
him lower than that, and I think they're saying, hey,
(44:59):
the decline started, it's going to be hard for him
to recapture what he was.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
So we'll see. I can't wait.
Speaker 13 (45:06):
That's one of the things this season you just can't
wait for, is like what rogers are we going to get?
Speaker 2 (45:11):
How do you look at the rookie quarterbacks?
Speaker 13 (45:16):
So Caleb Williams would be the one I think people
are most excited about and optimistic about, and then I
do believe that it would be Jaden Daniels next. And
then I feel like there's a split on may you know,
just some of the people that I've I've talked to,
you get a little bit more of disagreement of how
good they think he can be. And then you go
(45:38):
on to Pennix, who I personally really liked him and
just as a pastor in college. But it seems like
a lot of people think he's more of a finished
product and they wonder how much better he's going to get.
So we'll see about that. JJ McCarthy. I think we're
just going to have to wait on and then bow Nix.
It's really all the fit with Peyton. I think if
you like bo Nicks, you like Sean Payton, and you're
(46:00):
you're betting on that combination more than necessarily the skill
set of bo Nicks or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
Well, a lot of good stuff, a lot of good
information here. It's at the Athletic and it's Mike Sando's column,
senior NFL writer there. Good to talk to you again, Mike,
good luck, have fun in the upcoming season. Thank you
you too. That's Mike Sando and joined the Athletic. He
spent twelve years I think at the mothership, the Pro
Football Hall of Fame voter.
Speaker 8 (46:28):
Yes, Paul, I'm with you on the Mahomes thing. It
does feel like he's earned the right to have his
own tier. It's weird that I'm actually a little bothered.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
By You're bothered by it.
Speaker 8 (46:37):
Well, it's like Joe Burrow and Josh Allen, their careers
really aren't that close to Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
No, it's a big he's a lapping the field. I
guess I'm surprised. It feels like there's this negative blowback
on Josh Allen that he can't win the big one here,
can't handle you know, the big moment there, He too
many turnovers, whatever it might be. I always feel like
when he's playing, Buffalo has a chance to win. And
I can't say that about every quarterback. I feel like
(47:06):
because of him they can win a game. Burrow, I
feel that way. Mahomes, I feel that way. And then
it starts to get a little diceier where you're going,
all Right, Do I fully believe that that quarterback can
somehow find a way to win a game, and that
sometimes is the real litmus test, at least for me. Yes, yes, uh, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
Yes it is.
Speaker 9 (47:28):
Marvin Hey, Marvin Hey, Is this the perfect store for
Josh Allen to win MVP?
Speaker 3 (47:32):
No, Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Everyone's kind of down on you guys this year.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
Not expecting you guys to be Super Bowl contenders.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Might be harder. I mean, I guess the storyline is there,
but he's still got to produce. And these young these
young receivers, they got to be able to step up.
And they do have young talent there and a couple
of good tight ends. But trying to assess this handicap,
this you know, the draft is loaded with people where
(48:00):
we go. Man didn't see that one for a variety
of reasons, either really good or really bad. Dak Prescott
had something to say about his owner, Jerry Jones. The
coverage doesn't always match the headline here because it feels
like Dak Prescott takes a shot at his owner. Here
is Dak Prescott and it starts with the reporter's question.
Speaker 11 (48:23):
Jerry said, the negotiation isn't about your merit as the
Cowboys quarterback, but more about there. What do you take
from that when he says, you know, it's not really
about what you're doing, Well.
Speaker 14 (48:34):
Yeah, I understand that that's the business and the nature
of this game that we play. Yeah, I mean I
stopped honestly listening to things that he says to the
media a long time ago, so it doesn't really hold
away with me.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
Okay, Now if I just printed that as opposed to
you hearing that, you would have a different take on that.
He was also asked about is he going to get
a contract before the season starts?
Speaker 14 (48:59):
As I said, well, back in camp, it's too It's
two parts of this. Both SATs have to come to
the room.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
You don't need a deal done before the season.
Speaker 11 (49:06):
I don't need to know. No, do what you like
it done before the season.
Speaker 14 (49:10):
I think it says a lot if it is or
if it isn't. But however it doesn't, it doesn't really
matter to me, to be honest with me, What does
this say if it isn't, just how people feel?
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Okay? And I applaud the reporter good follow up question there.
But if I'm Dak Prescott, I'm not Once the season starts,
I'm going to play this out because you had your time,
nothing's changed. I am who I am, and you know
what the market's going to be. And then if you
play well, I mean, didn't you get a new deal
(49:40):
after you know, messing up his ankle breaking his ankle?
Speaker 6 (49:43):
Like?
Speaker 2 (49:44):
I think he's okay, And he handles this well. He
really does, because this is every day. This is many
times a day people want to ask you about this,
pin you down, relationship with Jerry, relationship with ced lamb uh,
you know, your place amongst the great quarter like all
(50:05):
of this stuff, and I think he handles it extremely well.
Does that sound easy? Not many quarterbacks get all of
these questions all of the time, and Dak Prescott does.
It goes along with the territory being the Cowboys quarterback.
But hey, if he plays well, bets on himself. Get
to the off season, they're going to be teams waiting
(50:27):
to sign him. Let me take a break. Last call
for phone calls? What we learn, what's in store tomorrow?
And Todd has his rhyme time. We're all excited for
rhyme time. Come on. Okay, now did that sound fake.
Speaker 3 (50:45):
A little bit?
Speaker 2 (50:45):
Okay, good catch it. You see right through us, don't you? Okay? Okay,
now you're you're gonna be his buddy, don't okay? You

All role college football coming up tonight. Big games coming
up this weekend including LSU USC Sunday night in Vegas,
Notre Dame, A and M Clemson, Georgia, Miami and Florida. Wow,
(01:33):
that is going to be spicy, all right, poll question,
play of the day, stat of the day, all of
that coming up. Good morning, those watching on Peacock, our
streaming partner, thank you for downloading the app. I'm to
go back to Colorado getting by North Dakota State. We
said it a tough team to open up with. North
Dakota State is a really good team. If this game
was at North Dakota State, I think they would have
(01:55):
won that game. But give credit to Colorado. They did
what they needed to do when they needed to do it.
But it wasn't pretty. It's not going to be pretty
this year. But they do have two first round draft picks.
Travis Hunter, pick what you want to do. You want
to be a receiver, you want to be a defensive back,
Maybe you want to be both Shudor Sanders is going
to be a first round draft pick as well. But
(02:17):
defense not very good, and they're gonna have some explosive plays.
They're gonna be in shootouts. It feels like every single weekend.
But they came through when they needed to. And here's
Dion after the win.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You got to take what people give you.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
You can't take what you want and it's not there.
Speaker 3 (02:38):
I mean, what is it? What do you throw for
four yards? You think we upset?
Speaker 5 (02:44):
Right?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
Who upset?
Speaker 6 (02:46):
So?
Speaker 2 (02:46):
They ever run a game?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Well, the passing game will pretty darn good today.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
So let's let's let's be appreciative and thankful that we
got one of the premier guys in college football spending it.
We're gonna run the ball. We're gonna do that. We're
gonna have a lot more ballats. Today was just that
type of day. You got to take what they give.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
You, okay, But then there was a play towards the
end of the game where Dion's sun shoulder put it
up for grabs and Dion apparently didn't call the play.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
At the end of the.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
Game, we just want to run the ball, let's get
out of here, and he took a shot, you know,
to Legonte because he wanted Le Johnsay to have a
big play because you got the other two guys, the dogs,
having a big play and they and he know he's
going to have one on one matchup. He's just to
put it out there far enough. But that's his character.
I'm like, come on, dog, not right now. You know,
it's not time to be the good guy. Right now,
(03:35):
it's time let's put this game away. But that's that's
what that was.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Come on, dog, dog, Come on dog. That explains a
lot because I'm thinking, the last thing you're gonna do
is throw the ball, last thing. And then he throws
it and I'm going, oh my god, and you can
see Dion's like what are you doing? And then you
have to punt and they North Dakota State almost made
(04:01):
them pay for it. But it was fun. It was
fun to watch. But you know, that gap we have
between FCS and FBS, it might be a little closer
than what we really think. Because Montana State got paid
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars buy New Mexico to
go and play New Mexico and then go to New
Mexico and beat New Mexico Montana State is really good.
(04:24):
Four point win North Dakota State. They're the second favorite
for the national championship. So these are quality teams there.
You have about remember when Appalachian State would play and
they opened up with Michigan one year and you're like,
oh boy, that's not a team to open up with,
and then they ended up winning in Michigan. You have
(04:46):
that occasionally where you had these teams. South Dakota State
defending FCS champs. Now they're playing Oklahoma State in Stillwater.
Oklahoma State, I believe, has twenty starters back, and I mean,
would I be surprised if that game's really closer South
Dakota State won. I would not be because they're nine
(05:07):
and a half point underdogs, just like North Dakota State
was with Colorado. Oklahoma State is better than Colorado. But
these are two really good teams on the road, and
you know they need to do this. They want to
schedule out of conference. They want to schedule with the
bigger boys, so when they go back and they're playing
in their conference, in their division, that they're ready to go.
(05:28):
So you know, FCS, FBS, I know it's sometimes not
as blurred as we think it should be, but there
are probably five to seven programs that can go toe
to toe with some of these schools, now, not Georgia,
not Alabama, but with some of these other schools absolutely,
(05:48):
and Colorado taking on North Dakota State. I don't know
if Dion scheduled that, but you know that's one of
those where you go, wait, we're open up with them.
It's that's one of those where you go, well, even TCU,
but Colorado would get these games because people probably wanted
to schedule Colorado because they weren't very good. Now with
(06:10):
Colorado getting a little bit better, and you certainly saw
that last night, you know the schedule is going to
change where maybe you don't take chances like this, but
give credit, Colorado ended up winning the game. And Travis
Hunter is probably the leading candidate for the sept Heisman
the month of September. He is the Heisman front runner
(06:30):
so far only because the other front runners, the favorites,
haven't played. But he's great and I'm looking at the
number of plays that he was involved in. He played
one and twenty nine snaps, fifty seven on offense, seventy
two on defense, wide receiver, defensive back, corner safety, a
(06:53):
linebacker at one point. Pretty remarkable. I mean, the best
player on the field. And I know people are going
to say, and we talked about it last year, and
that is could he be a two way player? Talent wise, yes,
time wise probably not, because you have to be in
the receivers meetings, offensive meetings, and then you'd have to
(07:16):
be in the defensive meetings. You have to go out
and then have reps at practice. I think what will
happen with Travis is he would probably be a defense
Like it's easier to find a wide receiver than it
is a great cornerback. You can find great wide receivers,
great cornerbacks. How many great cornerbacks do we have in
(07:37):
the NFL right now? Not a lot. We have a
lot of great wide receivers. He might go in as
a corner and then maybe you have ten plays that
you us him for five plays you're usinghim for maybe
a punt return. He's that talented. And Shardoor Sanders is
going to be a first round draft pick, probably going
to be a Heisman candidate, maybe more so than you know,
(08:00):
Travis Hunter. But Dion got the win, and uh, it
was fun. I enjoyed that game. I was not going
to be surprised if North Dakota State won that game. Also,
you had other I thought North Carolina Minnesota was going
to be the game of the night, and it turned
out to be came down to the final seconds. Minnesota
had a chance to win that missed a field goal.
(08:20):
It was fun, fun to watch that back and forth,
and uh, North Carolina ended up getting the win. Seaton,
what's pull question today?
Speaker 7 (08:28):
Well, we could start with if you were Travis Hunter,
which would you play in the NFL?
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Offense or defense? Okay, well, you're going to get paid
more as a wide receiver if you're an elite wide receiver.
But it feels like, I mean, he might be just
one of those guys on defense that you do pay
a lot more because he's going to be reminiscent of
Dion or Durell Reeves, Champ Bailey, you know those guys
(08:55):
that are just difference makers. But I think he would
go in as a defensive back. But he I mean,
he might be looking at these salaries that these you know,
receivers are getting and going, yeah, it'd be nice to
be able to play defense. But nobody knows if you're
great as a cornerback. Nobody knows who you are because
you're not involved in plays, because you're taking away the
(09:16):
best wide receiver. The ball's not going over to you,
and as a wide receiver, you're gonna be in the
conversation constantly, So he might go, you know, I kind
of like the money in the spotlight there as opposed
to being a lockdown corner.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
Yeah at six what six' one six two, that's pretty
good guy.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Yeah, it's for a corner.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Yeah, you know what I like about him going in
as a as a cornerback. He would play every play
as a corner, and then you could sneak him in
as a wide receiver on the offense. Sure, if he's
a wide receiver, you're not snee throw him out in
corner for a couple of plays.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Yeah, you know, yeah, yeah, Pauline, what if Travis.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
Hunter went the other direction? I know, you just laid
out the reasons why you can't be a semi full
time to way player. What if he did the same
thing Otani did when he negotiated with the MLB teams
and said I'm going to play full time ish both ways,
and that's how he ended up at the Angels. Now
he may drop in the draft because of that, because
if he's demanding like that, But he could also be
(10:11):
one of the more novel unique players of the next
generation in the NFL. If he says, I want to
play forty plays a game on both sides of.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
The ball, well, I don't know what his salary would be,
but you could get kind of two salaries if you're
playing two different positions, I would think. Now the question is,
are team's going to want him to play both? Allow
him to play both. But it certainly worked out for
Sho heeo Tani and the Angels. Yes, Todd, you could.
Speaker 9 (10:38):
Squeeze too much out of a great player that can
do both, and then all of a sudden he's injured
because he asks too much of him to play offense
and defense, and now you've lost him for either side
of the ball.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Yeah. Well, I think he's talent enough that even at
seventy five percent at both positions, he's still going to
be pretty elite. He's great, But he was the number
one recruit in America and went to Jackson State with
Dion and then transferred when Dion left. But what other
pole questions are we thinking about today. Tod's got a
couple of interesting ones too. We didn't get to our
(11:08):
usual Thursday round of Todd bo questions, but he's back
again on Friday. Okay, cool, Okay.
Speaker 9 (11:14):
After watching the game last night, the Colorado Buffaloes are
going to be much better than I thought in trouble
and will struggle just to be Bowl eligible. How impressed
were you with the Buffaloes last night?
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I wasn't. I was impressed with a couple of players.
That defense is not good and North Dakota State could
run when they wanted to run. There was very little
pass rush, it felt like. But they're going to have
explosive plays. They're just going to be in shootouts. I
think you just have to lock yourself in and say
it's going to be a wild ride. Do I think
(11:50):
six wins seven wins possibility? Sure, just because you have
a great quarterback and you have a couple of great
wide receivers and Dion's they're still going to run the football.
But I with his son as the quarterback changing plays
and Elias Scrimmage and who knows. By the way, the
four ranked teams were in action last night, won by
(12:12):
a combined score of one to eighty six to twenty four.
Western Carolina scored twenty one of the twenty four points.
They lost to North Carolina State and uh Missouri and
Utah had shutouts there. Utah's quarterback is Cam Rising. He
had five touchdown passes. Utah blew out Southern Utah. He's
(12:33):
a seventh year senior, last of a last of a breed,
seventh year senior. Now, I watched the Rose Bowl when
he blew out his knee. That was twenty twenty three,
and here we are, and he is a seventh year senior.
Like we need to cap it. Like you should get
five years to play Mike, right, I mean, I know
(12:57):
you had the COVID and there's transfer portal, and but
seven years time down to the real world.
Speaker 9 (13:04):
You're not an idol.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
Listen, Yes, the real world. The rest of us have
to college.
Speaker 3 (13:08):
Now.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
I did stay on off campus at the University of
Dayton for a few years after I graduated. I lived
off campus, but I wasn't taking classes. I just like
the atmosphere. You know, the beer was cheap, so was
the rent, and no short supply of shorties if you
know what I mean. Yes, PAULI cam Rising was born
(13:29):
in the nineties. That's it entire statement.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Eight seven seven three DP show email andres Sdpadanpatrick dot
com Twitter handle a DP show Buddha in San Francisco.
Good morning, Buddha, no buddy.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
Happy to meet Friday Boys, Minister of humor. Let's go
baby DP. I don't know about Marvin, but I slept
a whole lot better her last night after getting Brandon
and I used notification last night. That was my goodness.
In the words of seeding jeepers, creepers, that was getting
ridiculous and uh Coach Prime, Dan wrote riding his two
(14:12):
horses and first round draft picks and Heisman hopefuls. I mean,
winning the opener was great and for content, but I
feel like Colorado is a ticking time bomb Dan, Like
they they only have so many wins in them and
then when they start losing, that's when it's gonna get
interesting and it starts unraveling, because you know, Coach Prime
has got some got some ego there, but we'll see
how he handles it all. And I don't know, it's
(14:34):
just going to be interesting to watch. So you guys
have a great weekend.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Boys.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Thank you. Buddha. Can we look at Colorado's schedule? I
know they have Colorado State. Uh, the Big twelve isn't
as formidable as it has been, Yes, Bully.
Speaker 8 (14:49):
The next few weeks at Nebraska at Colorado State Home
Baylor at Central Florida, Kansas State, Arizona, Cincinnati, Texas Tech, Utah, Kansas,
Oklahoma State. Okay, it's like all be teams like.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Yeah, well Utah, Utah might be a really good team.
Utah might be in the in the playoffs. Oklahoma State's good.
I don't know if they're great, but okay, at Colorado State.
That was a great game last year. They could lose
at Nebraska. I don't even know what the line is
(15:26):
on that, but uh, Nebraska, I think it's going to
be a lot better. Star freshman quarterback, Yes, Pauline.
Speaker 8 (15:35):
Just to give you an idea how old Cam Rising
is from Utah. He was in the same recruiting class
as Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Micah Parsons, amar ros Saint Brown,
and Jalen Waddle. Okay, all guys who are going on
to their second NFL contracts.
Speaker 2 (15:50):
Can you buy us some beer?
Speaker 4 (15:54):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Excuse me, excuse me, sir, Hey, could you buy us
the six pack?
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Please? Hey, mister s could you.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
Buy us a six pack?
Speaker 10 (16:01):
Place runs and I are looking for a thirty pack.
We'll pay you extra anything as long as it's not
an ice. Did you guys ask people to buy you
beer in high school? But stay outside the convenience store
off to the side. Oh yeah, as you would see
somebody who was, like, I don't know, five years older
than you, you'd be like, hey, hey, Mike, yeah, what
(16:25):
I'm not buying you beer?
Speaker 2 (16:28):
I wasn't going to ask you to, but you know,
now that you bring it up, would you buy some beer?
A six pack or something? All right, let me take
a break. Just getting started, we will settle on our
pole question, big college football weekend. We'll run down the
point spreads. There a couple of surprisers. There is surpriser

our show.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
Quick, knowledgeable and funny, opinionated.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
What what are you doing interrupting our promo? Yeah, you
wasn't talking about you. You took those clips totally of context.
Speaker 12 (17:32):
Oh yeah, well after this promo, I'm gonna take you

Speaker 1 (17:45):
Yee.
Speaker 2 (17:49):
He works on the show that precedes ours on Fox
Sports Radio Two Pros and a Cup of Joe. Former
Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn part of Big Noon Kickoff,
mark Ingram Matt Liner, Urban Meyer. Brady Quinn alongside Rob
Stone the Stoner. They are going to be in Morgantown
coming up this weekend and you can watch it on
(18:10):
the Big New Kickoff. Great to talk to you again.
How's morale Brady Morale's fantastic.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Right now, we're in Morgantown, West Virginia for the big
matchup between Penn State and West Virginia, and you know, Dan,
we've never been here before, so this is a it's
a fun experience for us, always one to new places.
Seeing the excitement, you know, with West West Virginia, how
they played last year, some of the fans feel like
this is probably as good of a team, or at least
they're they're feeling this way to going in the season.
(18:38):
But it's good of a team since Gino Smith and
Tebon Austin and that group really came through Morgantown.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
So a lot of excitement from the Mountaineers.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Feels like every year at this time we talk about
Penn State and we go, Okay, are they in the
Ohio State Michigan category? They're in the very good category.
Handicapped Penn State this year because I know there's gonna
be a white out night and it's gonna be great
and it's gonna be festive, and then at the end
(19:06):
of the year they're ten and two.
Speaker 3 (19:10):
Well, but the difference with ten and two this year
is ten and two will get you rid of the
play with a twelve team playoffs.
Speaker 6 (19:16):
Okay, and actually, if you go back through the past
decade of the fourteenth playoff, if it was twelve, let's
just say hypothetically it was twelve teams, Penn State would
have been in six times. So I think that narrative
probably changes a lot for James Frank won in Penn
State as far as just how consistently good they've been
with the exception of facing Ohio State Michigan.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
This is the year though, where I feel like it's
gonna be different.
Speaker 6 (19:40):
And for that reason, one, they've got new coordinators on
both sides of the ball.
Speaker 3 (19:44):
Their defense has never got an issue.
Speaker 6 (19:45):
I think Tom Allen, the format coach in Indiana, would
do a tremendous job. That moves some pieces around on
defense too to kind of fit what they need. But
it's more about Andykotnikki, the offensive coordinator comes in from Kansas,
extremely creative. Look, they're gonna run the football. You have
k Tron Allen Nicks singles at a running back. There's
a tour of the best in college football. That's the
bread and butter. But it's getting the most out of
(20:07):
Drewaler and if he can do that. I think this guy,
he reminds me a lot of Ben Roethlisberger. He's big,
he's athletic, he's got a big arm. You just see
some inaccuracy here and there, and then then the short
intermediate throws sometimes. You know, he has a hard time
creating to make some things happen. But you see flashes
(20:27):
of what I'm talking about in regards to Big Ben
and some of the similarities. So if he can get
that out of it more consistently, I think they're gonna
be a team that's gonna be competing for the Big Ten,
probably with Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Okay, yeah, LSU and USC. That's sneaky in Vegas handicap
those two. LSU losing Jayden Daniels, USC losing Caleb Williams.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, it's funny, you know, talking to Lincoln Riley this offseason,
one of the things he mentioned was how they lose
that improvisational skill set that Caleb brings. But you know,
Miller Moss kind of plays more maybe within the system,
you know, maybe more what you want from a play
caller or a coach, And it led me to think that,
you know, moving on from a guy like Caleb Williams,
(21:11):
who is a generational talent, but now having a guy
in the quarterback spot that maybe it's not quite as talented.
Maybe when they do when maybe maybe when they do
have that success, it feels more's a team as opposed
to it.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
Just being one individual carrying that team.
Speaker 6 (21:25):
And I got the sense that they feel like they're
a better spot from a team perspective. Obviously, the changes
on the defensive staff will be part of that hit
the portal again to help that group. But I got
the sense that this team feels like they're in a
better spot than where they were before, where a lot
of things were just kind of about Caleb Williams and
all they heard was how bad they were everywhere else
besides Caleb Williams. So I think Lincoln Riley feels like
(21:48):
he's in a better spot from that standpoint. But again,
the transition to the Big Ten is gonna be tough,
and starting off versus LSU isn't going to help build
a lot of momentum because elis who's an extremely talented team.
You know, I think Garrett Splier's going to pick up
right where Jane Daniels left offs. Now he's not gonna
have Mike Nrock there calling places for him. However, Brian
Kelly has been through coaching changes before. He's an extremely
(22:09):
successful head coach, so he will be able to write
that shit. I'm not sure how that this opening game
like this will play out. I would lean more towards
LSU with some of the talent they have, some the
continuity they have too, compared to some of the change
that you've got it at USC with the defense and
opstadion quarterback.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
How do we get here with Clemson where they were
in the conversation for national title and now all of
a sudden has debo.
Speaker 3 (22:38):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
It feels like they dropped a little bit here. Not
I mean, what are they sixteenth in the country, but
still they're twelve point underdogs against Georgia and he doesn't
take transfers or nil or you know, he's got his
principles there. Now. It feels like the Natives are getting
restless here with Dabo.
Speaker 6 (22:57):
And there's something to be said for kind of sticking
to what you believe your identity is, what you want.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
To kind of create your program around. There's something to
be said for that.
Speaker 6 (23:05):
However, I think everyone would agree you have to adapt
with the times. If you want to survive, and if
you want to be considered one of the top teams.
In order to do that, you've got to participate in nil.
You've got to be able to supplement your roster the
transfer portal. I mean, you look at some teams, for example,
like Colorado, they're making wholesale changes in.
Speaker 3 (23:22):
A transfer portal. Now I'm not saying that's the way
of doing it.
Speaker 6 (23:25):
Maybe it is, though, you know, maybe coach Prime after
the win last night, be able. They'll prove otherwise that
you could turn over a roster every off season if
you will, And for the most part, as long as
you have a quarterback and a few of the key pieces.
Speaker 3 (23:37):
You can go win some football games.
Speaker 6 (23:39):
But they've been really resistant to do that, and I
think we've seen it kind of hurt them in some
spots where Look, I mean, high school recruiting is not
exact science. So when you're bringing these kids up, you know,
you don't know how they're going to develop, You don't
know what they're going to turn into three or four
years down the road. So I think that's hurt them
a little bit. And not being able to replace some
of the spots that they've missed. They've obviously lost some
(24:01):
coordinators too. I think that always plays a role and
try to replace good coordinators that come in underneath you.
Every head coach that has dealt with that nick statement
did but probably more successfully than others. But I think
it's a lack of wanting to adapt to the times
that being able to supplement's spots where maybe they've missed
and so what they've been down. But I mean not
down to the grand schema things, just more down to
(24:21):
the degree that Dabble I think created for him.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
So talking to Brady Quinn, Fox College football analyst, Big
noon Kickoff in Morgantown coming up this weekend. Coverage starts
at ten am Eastern on Fox. Also one of the
hosts on Two Pros and a Cup of Joe, the
show that preceeds hours on Fox Sports Radio. Let me
start with Shudor Sanders. What do you see I mean?
(24:43):
Are we talking first round high, first round talent at quarterback.
Speaker 6 (24:48):
Yes, I think he's going to compete with Carson Beck
for the number one overall quarterback and for these reasons,
you know, I think a lot of the conversation about
shador Or Colorado and coach Prime intends of being all
this stuff outside of foot for the most part, right
when you watch him, First off, he's an incredibly accurate passer,
and so that translates to no matter what level football
you're playing. The thing that I love about him the most,
(25:11):
it's really truefold and it kind of goes hand in hand.
It's his poise and his toughness. I mean, how many
times did we see last year and even just last
night he hangs in there. He hangs in there, or
even he buys time to hang in there until someone
separates or gets open and he delivers a strike and
gets blasted. That is something that you cannot coach. You
cannot teach. You either have that or you don't. And
(25:33):
you could tell he's put on some muscle to this offseason,
I think to prepare himself for that because let's just
be honest, where our offensive line is at, they're probably
going to face more of those issues, especially if they're
not balance running the football. But that poise and toughness
always gives them a shot. And he is one of
the best quarterbacks. And he's got some extremely talented skilled
players in Travis Hunter and Jimmy Horn junior.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
So they're going to hang around a lot of games.
Speaker 6 (25:56):
But I think if he continues on this path, they
keep winning football games, I think he's gonna be up
for the Heisman.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
He'll be up bat only for that number one overall
spot in the draft.
Speaker 6 (26:04):
The interesting thing is going to be is if he
gets still the attention for the Heisman even if the
team doesn't win quite as many games because of the
heavy lift that he's got.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
You know, with that Colorado team, if.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
You're Travis Hunter, would you gear up to be defensive
back or wide receiver in the NFL?
Speaker 6 (26:24):
Oh Man, I mean looking at these wide receiver contracts.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
What I said, Yeah, I agree, Brandon.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
I you frustrated with a four year ABO one hundred
and twenty million dollars contract.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I he's all just strata about it.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
But people are gonna say, oh, you know, he can
play both both ways, and I said, you can't because
you're going to be in defensive meetings offensive meetings, like
you can't meet two places at one time. Or could he?
Speaker 3 (26:53):
I think he could.
Speaker 6 (26:54):
You know, you figure out a way of the schedule
scheduling so you get him caught up to speed.
Speaker 2 (26:59):
On both but full time on both sides of the ball, or.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
Maybe not full time, and you're gonna have players you
rotate out any way as a wide receiver. And so
if I was looking at it realistically of how that
would work, I think he'd be out there full time
as a defensive back and then a wide receiver. He'd
be in probably sixty to seventy percent of the play.
And I think that's that's possible.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Wow, Now you gotta go.
Speaker 6 (27:20):
You gotta be good about how you hide that, because
you can't just throw him in there on place where
you know they're throwing the football right because every team's
scouty report and go, hey, Travison, it's gonna be a pass.
So you've got to be careful about that. I think
he's the type of athlete and we're a talent that could.
I know there's a lot of people who are going
to track from that and say it's an NFL schedule,
he won't be able to take the physicality and the beating.
(27:41):
I would love to see him try that. I'd love
to least see him try to see if he could
do it.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
Could you have played like inside linebacker as well as quarterback?
Same time.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
I think in my mind I would like to think that,
but in reality most likely not, especially having a brother
in law who played that position and always.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
I mean, if you ever notice, like as hands, I
used to see this after.
Speaker 6 (28:01):
He played games, like he kind of holds him like
this because they'd be so mangled, like he couldn't break
his wrists or everything else. His hands would be all
beat up. They looked like, you know, big fish hooks
is really what they look like.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
So your brother's aj Hawk. Did he ever hit you?
Speaker 3 (28:17):
Of course? Yeah?
Speaker 6 (28:17):
Yes, the Bowl, he actually you know a lot of
people don't know this. He actually got me twice. He
beat me twice. When we're in sixth grade, we played
in a Dayton league. We like couldn't find enough teams
apparently in central Ohio, so we gonna travel a Dayton
every every Saturday to go play. And he played for
Centerble and their team beat us in the championship of
that back in sixth grade, and obviously they beat us
(28:39):
in the Fiesta Bowl as well.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Has he hit you off the field?
Speaker 6 (28:44):
No, No, We every once in a while we'll kind
of test each other, you know, kind of like the
probably hug that like evolves into like testing to.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
See like how he responds and stuff. But he actually
tore his peck.
Speaker 6 (28:57):
And so every single time I see him and mess
with him, poke him where I know he taurus peck
where kind of hurts him, and messes.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
With him a little bit. I like it.
Speaker 6 (29:05):
And then every once in a while I'll act like
I'm gonna shoot, try to do like a takedown or something.
But he's got a little crazy at him, like to
be married to my older sister, Like he's got to
be a little He always says she's crazy, but he's
crazy too.
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Yeah, but you tried to wrestle Will Ferrell a year
ago at this time when we were in Ireland, and.
Speaker 6 (29:23):
That was a mistake. If I'm looking back on that,
I had no idea. By the way, Will looks great
for his age. I had no idea his age. And
then I realized, like there could have been a broken
hip involved, there could have been a cardiac event, and
I regret that. I apologize, and I mean, I think
I just got caught up in a moment there in Ireland,
which I think we all did if we're being.
Speaker 2 (29:43):
Honest with yes, that is true. More concerning Alabama, without
Saban or Michigan without Harbaugh.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
I think it's Alabama without Saban, and it's twofold.
Speaker 3 (29:55):
The first is, if you're a Kalyn de Bor, you're
a great coach.
Speaker 6 (29:57):
We've seen his track round it so far, but you're
replacing the goat, And so how do you even go
about putting your fingerprints on something that it's not like
it needs to be fixed, Like he just decided to
hang it up. So now you've got to try to
find your own spin on it and equate to even
a portion of the success that Nick sab It had
and it's incredibly difficult to do.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
So that in and of itself is hard.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
And then I think for Caitlyn de Boor, looking at
what he has, I think Jalen milro is one of
the best quarterbacks in college football. But if you look
at what Kaitlyn de Boor was one with Michael Pennix
for the two years he was in Washington, he transformed
him from a different player from his time in Indiana
and they threw the football all around the field. I
don't know that Jaylen Milroe out the gate will be
(30:40):
able to do that this year. So how do you
go back constructing the offense to play to those strengths.
That'll be another one of those challenges. And I think
for Michigan, Look, we already saw Schroon or Or play
some football last year. And if I had to ask
you what you think the identity of mission is this year,
it's probably we're going to say together the run game
and really salty defense.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
Right.
Speaker 6 (30:59):
I mean, I had a first round quarterback last year
and they'll stilled their identity.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
So that's not going to change even though Jim Harball's
not there.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
But can you see Harball try to bring Michigan to
the Chargers.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Yeah, he just signed uh Hassan Haskins.
Speaker 6 (31:13):
I mean he's literally signing players out there that used
to be on his roster.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
But I think that's also part of what you do
as a head coach.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Right, Can you run the football like? Can he play
Michigan style in the NFL?
Speaker 6 (31:26):
Yeah, I don't think there's any doubt about it. I
mean you've got to adapt and change a little bit.
But go back to the San Francisco teams. I mean,
you figure out a way of utilizing Colin Kaeprick to
make him effective in the running game. I mean, if
I'm not a stake in going back those years with
Frank Gore is incredibly productive and a salty defense.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
I mean, that's how they built that roster and built
that team.
Speaker 6 (31:45):
And I think he made a statement too, and he
took Joel and not because he's an enter dame guy,
but because that's how they built those teams. If you
look at Michigan and when he probably got there, he
looked at it and says, if I'm watching Bama, if
I'm watching Georgia, everyone's talking about the trench.
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Like we just talk about still players. All we want.
Would would we go every week to see these teams.
Speaker 6 (32:04):
I can almost surely sit there and go that team's
gonna win, that team's gonna lose. It's because how they
look up front, sure on both sides of the football.
And I think that's what he's trying to get to.
That's why he took a mammoth of a human being.
Speaker 2 (32:15):
And Joel behave down there in Morgantown. You can get
in trouble.
Speaker 6 (32:21):
I've heard that before. I've heard that before. I'm still
looking for uh, I'm still looking for a little fun.
Maybe we can do something with the Mountaineer or something,
you know, get that old musket out there.
Speaker 2 (32:29):
Clo uh Seaton went to uh went to West Virginia
for a little while. Did my cameo?
Speaker 3 (32:39):
People? Why why a little while? Well? Why a little while?
What happened?
Speaker 7 (32:43):
If you just refer back to that trouble that you
get into U, we're telling you I took full advantage
of that in my tenure there.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Not ten years, but tenures, ten years ten years there,
I mean, so.
Speaker 3 (32:55):
I'm not judging if it was ten years, by the way,
not judgment.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Did you ever get in trouble at Notre Dame like socially?
Speaker 6 (33:03):
No, there is an incident one time where there's construction
near my dorm. I lived lived in zomb Hall, which,
to give you any indication, it's not even a dorm anymore.
It was a little bit of a wild dorm.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
I guess.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
But we don't pick. We get kind of thrown in there.
I had driven on campus. I think it was in
the summertime or maybe it was like maybe just started
the season and it was an area where there was construction,
and so there's a gate to get on campus.
Speaker 3 (33:30):
You can't just like drive on wherever you want.
Speaker 6 (33:32):
It's really hard to get on, and so they had
let me go on because I think I was like
dropping people off or something.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
But the person at the gate told me to drive
on a sidewalk area because there's constructions.
Speaker 6 (33:42):
Wise I couldn't get back to the dorm, and I
did so there happened to be like a Notre Dame
police officer there. She was not too happy about that.
So that became like a big incident. Or there's like
cop cars everywhere, and then they all it took was
one radio up to the guard game and they're like, yeah,
sorry about that.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
I told them you do that. So that was about
the most trouble I got in.
Speaker 6 (34:03):
But there was like ATVs there's like three cop cars
surrounding like the dorms, like everyone's looking outside, and I
was like, this looks a lot worse than what actually
happened here.
Speaker 2 (34:12):
It sounds like a boring college career.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
It had to be boring, though, man, when you're when
you're the quarterback of Notre.
Speaker 6 (34:19):
Dame and I'm sure you know Sam Hartman and his
hair dealt with this last year. You know Riley Lennon's
dealing with this. Now is you get noticed everywhere? I
mean I remember even like afterwards, like we've been on
international trips in Italy or Ireland, like you've got people
randomly just go hey, I remember watching a Notre Dame.
It's it's it's one of those things that kind of
(34:39):
it comes with the territory.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
All right, Well, have some fun down there. Thanks for
joining us. As always, Brady, I'll have a lot of
fun liners here.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
So you know that.
Speaker 2 (34:50):
Liner didn't get cheated in college though, no.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
He did not.
Speaker 2 (34:53):
He had a great day, Rady. He should have stayed
an extra year at USC.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
I mean think about you, say, like seven years.
Speaker 2 (35:01):
Now, Liner should still be at USC's forty years old. Yeah,
thank you, Brady, Brady Quinn there in Morgantown, it's been
state and in West Virginia Big noon kickoff. Also, he's
one of the co hosts on Two Pros and a
(35:22):
Cup of Joe, the show that preceeds hours on Fox
Sports Radio. Will come back update the poll results. Dak
Prescott has some interesting things to say about his owner
and the NFL team that will drop out of the
playoff mix from last year. Have that for you After this.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (35:47):
Wap I was curious the last time Clemson came into
a game as an underdog of ten or more points.
September of twenty twelve, Clemson tenth in the country, fourteen
and a half point underdog at number four Florida State.
Florida State won that game forty nine to thirty seven,
twelve point underdog against Georgia. Coming up on Saturday. He's
(36:09):
Mike Sando back on the program, senior NFL writer at
the Athletic and he has ranked the quarterbacks different tiers here,
so it's not ranking them now. This is yearly that
he does this, and for the first time since twenty sixteen,
only three quarterbacks landed in Tier one. Aaron Rodgers not
(36:30):
there for the first time in the eleven year history
that he's been doing it. Mike, good to see you again. Now,
based on your rankings, the lowest ranked quarterback who will
start Week one is who.
Speaker 13 (36:44):
Probably Jacoby Brissett by to scroll all the way down,
johe Verssett is just seen as a really great backup
quarterback and somebody you wouldn't probably want to have start
the whole season, so it may be a little unfair
to compare him to the other guys that are earning
a lot more money. But we wanted to have all
the veterans starters represented, and I think that probably accurately
(37:05):
reflects how even the Patriots feel about him. They wanted
to start, but probably not for too long.
Speaker 2 (37:10):
Did you think about putting Mahomes on his own tier? Well?
Speaker 13 (37:15):
I did. First off, to do this ranking, I talked
to fifty coaches and execs in the league, seven GM's,
eight head coaches, a dozen coordinators, a bunch of people.
So it's there rankings really based on their criteria that
I've gleaned from them. And one of the comments was
from one of the guys I spoke with, can we
have a tier zero for Mahomes? Because I think Mahomes
is different Historically, Dan, if you look at the multiple
(37:39):
championship winning quarterbacks, you can start Bradshaw, you know, Joe Montana,
get into Aikman far Brady. They usually did it with
not just good defenses, but elite. The forty nine ers
led the league in fewest points allowed in the eighties.
People don't really know that Mahomes in nineteen and twenty
two the Super Bowl on teams that weren't even top
(38:02):
half of the league. And then last year's defense was
good and he was able to win it without as
good of an offense. But that is a differentiator to me,
not just among the quarterbacks playing today, but it's hard
to find guys who win multiple championships without really good defenses.
And that's why Brady and that's why Rogers and Breeze
great Quarterbacks Hall of Famers, one ring each. That was
(38:26):
the missing component. They couldn't overcome it. Mahomes has.
Speaker 2 (38:31):
So you have three quarterbacks on Tier one, Mahomes and
then the other two quarterbacks.
Speaker 13 (38:38):
Joe Burrow, Josh Allen, with Lamar Jackson just next, missing
Tier one by about three votes.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
But if I factor in turnovers here with Josh Allen,
like how do you quantify the turnovers? And he's had
more turnovers than any other quarterback, I.
Speaker 13 (38:56):
Don't think any Whenever I talked to coaches or executives,
they never start talking about stats. They're not the number
one reason that Allen wasn't higher and unanimous he got
eleven votes lower than Tier one, was because the turnovers.
Sometimes he just risks the football too much. They do
feel though he can not only carry an offense. One
(39:18):
of the key components of Tier one for people in
the league is how expertly do you handle the peer
pass situations? Meaning we strip away the run game, we
even strip away your scrambling. Can you drop back to
win the game when we're down and throw and throw
and throw? And they do feel that, not only mahomes
but Burrow and Alan do that just to tick better
(39:42):
than the other quarterbacks that are below them in the league.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
Hmm. You know, guys who played the position they love
Burrow like they really they Now, the sample size isn't
as big for me as I think it needs to
be to look at his greatness. I mean we saw
it in college. Obviously they did get to the super Bowl.
He's been banged up a little bit, but it's amazing
(40:04):
how these former quarterbacks look at him and they they
see something, you know, Montana like like special, really really special.
Obvious not mahomes Ian, But what is it about Burrow
that makes him, you know, one of the you know,
two best quarterbacks in the league the three toughness.
Speaker 13 (40:23):
Swag and just incredible passing ability. I think he's really
a good. Just has an amazing feel for the game.
The defensive guys marvel about him too. More than one
defensive coordinator told me about the time their team played him.
Beat the snot out of them, hit him, and the
defensive linemen are coming back to the coach going, oh
my gosh, this is a real guy.
Speaker 2 (40:43):
So I think he really does have You know, he
takes a lot of boxes.
Speaker 13 (40:47):
Now people all the worry is he takes too many
hits and he's had too many injuries. You know, usually
the great quarterbacks don't miss games. I mean even you know,
these guys who play for a lot time, they have
two hundred starts in a row if they're Rivers or
some of the ELI, some of your guys or yeah,
farv and so that's the weird thing. One defensive coach
(41:09):
who played him a number of times said, the guy
doesn't fall right. I don't know if there's some science
to that, but usually these guys like Burrow have such
a great feel for the game that they kind of
avoid some of those injuries.
Speaker 2 (41:22):
How do you evaluate rock Perdy Well?
Speaker 13 (41:26):
So brock Purdy moved up thirteen spots from last year.
He was a little bit of a provisional guy last
year because he didn't have as many starts coming in.
Speaker 2 (41:33):
But here's what I think.
Speaker 13 (41:35):
Everybody points to Kyle Shanahan and the weaponry, and I
think that's rightly so. But if you're just a consistent producer,
you're gonna move solidly into Tier two. And if he
were to do this for ten years straight, he'd probably
find his way into Tier one. But when people play him,
they're not like, oh my god, there's not some amazing
(41:57):
superpower that he has the wows you. You just can't
discount the production when it's that good and consistent. So
I think that's why he's in tier two. He's kind
of in the bottom half of Tier two. I bet
you he could come up to the middle. But I
do see a little bit of a line. If you
look at the first four guys in Tier two, Lamar, Herbert, Stafford, Rogers,
(42:19):
those guys are like, it's a debate. They get a
ton of Tier one ers, you know, tier one votes.
I'm not sure Perdy. We'll see if Perdy is going
to get that. You know, maybe he leads them to
the Super Bowl win and.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
That does it. If I think we looked at the
numbers the other day. Mahomes has had the best start
of a career I think of any quarterback in the
modern era.
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Yep.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
But if I look at him and Brady at twenty seven,
twenty eight years of age, is that a fair comparison.
I gives Brady second to Mahomes if we look at
that first, you know, five years, six years in the league.
Speaker 13 (42:59):
I think he is because I think the composition of
that New England team, they were so good defensively from
the from the start, and he was amazing unless not.
I mean we're comparing a Ferrari and Lamborghini here, not
discounting Tom Brady at all. But I do look at
degree of difficulty, and to me, the way you look
at that is just what are the things that the
(43:20):
quarterback can't control an influence? Yeah, you can put your
defense in a better position or a worse position.
Speaker 2 (43:26):
But that is what I look at.
Speaker 13 (43:28):
Defense and even special teams was was lights out I
think for most of the Belichick era. So to me,
it's been a little bit higher degree of difficulty, with
probably more placed on the quarterback Earlier. I think the
way you know, the mobility of Mahomes and his resourcefulness
that way, you know, has probably put a little bit
(43:48):
more of it on his back than it was for
Brady that early. You look at Tom Brady going along
when they get to seven and they had the weaponry,
then I think he, you know, was really putting it
on his shoulders more.
Speaker 2 (43:59):
Talking to Sando's senior NFL writer at the athletic and
eleven year history of ranking these quarterbacks in different tiers,
and for the first time in the eleven year history,
Aaron Rodgers is not in that tier one. How do
you assess Rogers now or how did the coaches assess Rogers?
Speaker 13 (44:18):
Yeah, I think everybody, most people feel that if he's healthy,
he's still a top tier quarterback. But he got votes
in like four tiers. I mean, it's kind of silly,
but there's a lot of uncertainty. There's some feeling among
people that hey, he wasn't quite as good at the
end of Green Bay then doesn't last very long New Environment,
(44:38):
whole season on turf. All sort of believe it when
I see it. So a good number of people, I
think twenty three put him in tier one, but eighteen
people that put him in tier two were probably thinking
that I'm just going to knock him down a tier
because there is some uncertainty. And then there was a
minority of people nine that put him in that put
him lower than that, and I think they're saying, hey,
(44:59):
the decline started, it's going to be hard for him
to recapture what he was.
Speaker 2 (45:04):
So we'll see. I can't wait.
Speaker 13 (45:06):
That's one of the things this season you just can't
wait for, is like what rogers are we going to get?
Speaker 2 (45:11):
How do you look at the rookie quarterbacks?
Speaker 13 (45:16):
So Caleb Williams would be the one I think people
are most excited about and optimistic about, and then I
do believe that it would be Jaden Daniels next. And
then I feel like there's a split on may you know,
just some of the people that I've I've talked to,
you get a little bit more of disagreement of how
good they think he can be. And then you go
(45:38):
on to Pennix, who I personally really liked him and
just as a pastor in college. But it seems like
a lot of people think he's more of a finished
product and they wonder how much better he's going to get.
So we'll see about that. JJ McCarthy. I think we're
just going to have to wait on and then bow Nix.
It's really all the fit with Peyton. I think if
you like bo Nicks, you like Sean Payton, and you're
(46:00):
you're betting on that combination more than necessarily the skill
set of bo Nicks or anything like that.
Speaker 2 (46:07):
Well, a lot of good stuff, a lot of good
information here. It's at the Athletic and it's Mike Sando's column,
senior NFL writer there. Good to talk to you again, Mike,
good luck, have fun in the upcoming season. Thank you
you too. That's Mike Sando and joined the Athletic. He
spent twelve years I think at the mothership, the Pro
Football Hall of Fame voter.
Speaker 8 (46:28):
Yes, Paul, I'm with you on the Mahomes thing. It
does feel like he's earned the right to have his
own tier. It's weird that I'm actually a little bothered.
Speaker 2 (46:35):
By You're bothered by it.
Speaker 8 (46:37):
Well, it's like Joe Burrow and Josh Allen, their careers
really aren't that close to Mahomes.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
No, it's a big he's a lapping the field. I
guess I'm surprised. It feels like there's this negative blowback
on Josh Allen that he can't win the big one here,
can't handle you know, the big moment there, He too
many turnovers, whatever it might be. I always feel like
when he's playing, Buffalo has a chance to win. And
I can't say that about every quarterback. I feel like
(47:06):
because of him they can win a game. Burrow, I
feel that way. Mahomes, I feel that way. And then
it starts to get a little diceier where you're going,
all Right, Do I fully believe that that quarterback can
somehow find a way to win a game, and that
sometimes is the real litmus test, at least for me. Yes, yes, uh, Marvin.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
Yes it is.
Speaker 9 (47:28):
Marvin Hey, Marvin Hey, Is this the perfect store for
Josh Allen to win MVP?
Speaker 3 (47:32):
No, Stefan Diggs.
Speaker 2 (47:33):
Everyone's kind of down on you guys this year.
Speaker 3 (47:35):
Not expecting you guys to be Super Bowl contenders.
Speaker 2 (47:38):
Might be harder. I mean, I guess the storyline is there,
but he's still got to produce. And these young these
young receivers, they got to be able to step up.
And they do have young talent there and a couple
of good tight ends. But trying to assess this handicap,
this you know, the draft is loaded with people where
(48:00):
we go. Man didn't see that one for a variety
of reasons, either really good or really bad. Dak Prescott
had something to say about his owner, Jerry Jones. The
coverage doesn't always match the headline here because it feels
like Dak Prescott takes a shot at his owner. Here
is Dak Prescott and it starts with the reporter's question.
Speaker 11 (48:23):
Jerry said, the negotiation isn't about your merit as the
Cowboys quarterback, but more about there. What do you take
from that when he says, you know, it's not really
about what you're doing, Well.
Speaker 14 (48:34):
Yeah, I understand that that's the business and the nature
of this game that we play. Yeah, I mean I
stopped honestly listening to things that he says to the
media a long time ago, so it doesn't really hold
away with me.
Speaker 2 (48:48):
Okay, Now if I just printed that as opposed to
you hearing that, you would have a different take on that.
He was also asked about is he going to get
a contract before the season starts?
Speaker 14 (48:59):
As I said, well, back in camp, it's too It's
two parts of this. Both SATs have to come to
the room.
Speaker 2 (49:04):
You don't need a deal done before the season.
Speaker 11 (49:06):
I don't need to know. No, do what you like
it done before the season.
Speaker 14 (49:10):
I think it says a lot if it is or
if it isn't. But however it doesn't, it doesn't really
matter to me, to be honest with me, What does
this say if it isn't, just how people feel?
Speaker 2 (49:19):
Okay? And I applaud the reporter good follow up question there.
But if I'm Dak Prescott, I'm not Once the season starts,
I'm going to play this out because you had your time,
nothing's changed. I am who I am, and you know
what the market's going to be. And then if you
play well, I mean, didn't you get a new deal
(49:40):
after you know, messing up his ankle breaking his ankle?
Speaker 6 (49:43):
Like?
Speaker 2 (49:44):
I think he's okay, And he handles this well. He
really does, because this is every day. This is many
times a day people want to ask you about this,
pin you down, relationship with Jerry, relationship with ced lamb uh,
you know, your place amongst the great quarter like all
(50:05):
of this stuff, and I think he handles it extremely well.
Does that sound easy? Not many quarterbacks get all of
these questions all of the time, and Dak Prescott does.
It goes along with the territory being the Cowboys quarterback.
But hey, if he plays well, bets on himself. Get
to the off season, they're going to be teams waiting
(50:27):
to sign him. Let me take a break. Last call
for phone calls? What we learn, what's in store tomorrow?
And Todd has his rhyme time. We're all excited for
rhyme time. Come on. Okay, now did that sound fake.
Speaker 3 (50:45):
A little bit?
Speaker 2 (50:45):
Okay, good catch it. You see right through us, don't you? Okay? Okay,
now you're you're gonna be his buddy, don't okay? You
know your microphone is I can hear what you're saying.
You know how they are. Don't listen
