(00:23):
with Greg Lewis and Mario Bailey. Here's Dave Softie Muller.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
All right, boys and girls, we are back inside Kittick
Stadium in Iowa City. Husky Talk Postgame powered by your
local Northwest Chevy Dealers. Bring on the tough stuff with
Chevy Silverado. Because with nine trims and four available engines,
Chevy Silverado was ready to accept all challenges. Well, a
challenge was laid down by the Iowa Hawk guys tonight.

(00:49):
The Husky has accepted it and they got thrashed today
a twenty four point loss to Iowa. This was a game,
fellas in the fourth quarter you dub was out gaining
the Iowah and they were trailing by thirty points at
one point in this game before will Rodgers was pulled
and garbage time commenced and Demon Williams took over the
offense and drove the field for a touchdown. I'm not

(01:11):
sure if I've ever seen that, to be honest with you.
I mean, all of us have been doing this a
long time, and I don't know if I've ever seen
a seen a game where one team was out gaining
the other and was down by thirty points. U dub
eventually outgained Iowa three ninety three to three twenty eight
and lost the game by twenty four in a very
very familiar situation that unfolded here. This is now three

(01:32):
games guys away from Husky Stadium, the Apple Cup at Luminfield,
the Rutgers game in New Jersey, and now this game today, Greg,
We'll start with you where the Huskies outgained their opponent
but can't crack the twenty point barrier.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
What in the heck is going on with this football team?

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Well, I can tell you you don't have to outgain
a team that you're beaten when you start your average
field position at the thirty seven yard Lineer further out,
their kicking game, it was phenomenal today. Their punter was outstanding.
He backed us up time after time, and we can't
kick the ball into the end zone and they're able
to return the ball out to fast beyond the thirty five.

(02:09):
I tell you, we went out of our way in
the pregame though, to talk about how well our offensive
line a defensive line was doing, and they went out
of their way today to not show up our offensive
line and our defensive line. We got our butts kicked
up front. We lost the kicking game by miles and
miles of yards, and when you do that, you're not
going to have a lot of success, and then of

(02:30):
course you start pressing, and then the turnovers come over
in the snowballs and blah blah blah. The fourth quarter
doesn't matter how many yards we got. We got our
butts kicked.

Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, Mario, this was a situation where the average starting
field position for Iowa with our own forty five yard line.
I mean, imagine playing a game where your average starting
field position is the on forty five. And a lot
of that, obviously is because of special teams and the
fact that you dub in the third quarter started kind
of getting desperate a little bit and going forward on

(02:58):
fourth down, and they went home for three in those situations.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
But Greg's exactly right.

Speaker 2 (03:03):
We were kind of waiting for a game like this,
I think we all kind of in the back of
our heads thought there might be a game where the
line of scrimmage does not look right and they get
completely dominated.

Speaker 5 (03:13):
And today was that day. Absolutely that day. We got
blown out by an average team. I don't know what
that makes us, but we got beaten every facet of
the game, offensively, defensively, special teams, and just all around effort.
The offensive line was exposed. I don't know why we're
running option with Will Rogers when he never takes the ball.
So what person is gonna think that Will Rogers is

(03:36):
taking the ball, so they're automatically going to to the
running back. We didn't give the ball enough to Jonah
all day long. Will Rogers didn't look great when he
got out of the pocket, and the offensive line was
getting exploded exploded on and so the defense was just coming.
I just felt like all around our offense, our defensive line,

(03:56):
Denzel Boston runs horrible routes on the interception, and he
rounded off an out route when we had a third down.
He got the ball, there's just one guy in front
of him. All he has to do is make a
move or get going. He got stopped for third and one.
All around, I'm frustrated. We just looked like an average,
average team.

Speaker 2 (04:16):
Well, Greg, this was a situation where it's funny how
in real time you don't really think about this being
that important. But now you go back to that very
first drive of the game where they had they had
a flea flicker to Rashid Williams who had beaten his
man by what looked like five or six steps, and
the ball is massively underthrown on what would have been

(04:37):
what easily could have been a touchdown for you dub
on that drive and it doesn't turn out like that.
I mean, for as good as Will Rogers looked a
week ago, it looked like he took a step back today.
How much of that was the pressure he was under
playing on the road.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
What did you see?

Speaker 4 (04:53):
Well, this was obviously Will Rogers' worst game, and it
started off in the first quarter. You got to get
that ball down the field, out in front of the
wide receiver so that he can run under it and
score a touchdown. Get that big play that takes their
crowd out of it and puts you in the lead
and makes IOWA have to do what they're not good
at doing. Which is throw the ball, and they showed
today that they're not a very good passing team.

Speaker 6 (05:16):
Will Rogers missed.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
Some guys who were open, he had the interception, he
had the fumble. This was absolutely his first worst football game.
But that's not where we lost this game. We lost
this game and the B gap and the sea gap.
What does that mean? When they had the football, they
ran and got a ton of yards in the B
gap just outside of the guard, and then they got
a ton of big plays on the ground in.

Speaker 6 (05:40):
The sea gap off the tackle.

Speaker 4 (05:41):
They ran off tackle and turned them into forty and
fifty sixty yard games that won right before the half. Unbelievable. Unbelievable.
Fifty three yards puts them in a position to score
right before the halftime, to put them up two scores,
which we talked about it before the game. When they
go up eight points or more at any point in
the game. There's seventy four and three since twenty fifteen,

(06:03):
in the last ten years.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
Yea, So now seventy five and three.

Speaker 6 (06:06):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Now, So when we went down there and gave him
that big run and again they hit the.

Speaker 6 (06:11):
Bat gap, I mean, is what's his name? The number two?

Speaker 4 (06:15):
The running back Caleb Caleb Johnson looked like, oh hurud
Walter Payton out there to no doubt. I mean, they're
our defense is going to wake up tonight out of
their sleep having a nightmare about Caleb Johnson going up
the middle. Caleb Johnson going around the outside. I mean
he just ran off tackle or off guard all day
and just kicked the Huskies button.

Speaker 6 (06:36):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
Well that that run to and the half right, I mean,
come on, guys, it's it's seventeen to ten.

Speaker 3 (06:41):
Put him over right, Udub's getting the ball to start
the second half.

Speaker 5 (06:44):
Ninety seconds.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
You're thinking, you got twenty nine seconds whatever it is
left to go, and he peels off a fifty three
yard run and basically gives Iowa.

Speaker 6 (06:53):
Free three points lit was his final number, and.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
You're down ten. He went twenty seven for a Bucks
sixty six. He averages eight yards of care. Yeah, I mean,
just could not stop the run the entire day. The
I mean, this is another game against Cade McNamara who
beat it three years ago at Michigan. He threw the
ball fourteen times for one hundred yards. I mean, they
just did not have to rely on the run. And
this is another example of a team that will tell you,

(07:16):
Mario what's coming and you still can't stop it.

Speaker 5 (07:19):
Kate looked like a horrible quarterback. He couldn't throw the ball,
but he did throw for two touchdowns. He converted a
couple third downs on us. But they were just gonna
run the ball. What they did was first down. If
you look at their first downs, the guys were running
for like eight yards, eight and ten yards. It was
always a big gap. Yeah, right at the D gap.

(07:39):
It was putting us behind the sticks. We could never
figure out what they were gonna do.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
Go ahead, Gregor, and then on second down or whenever
they go off sea gap and they get fifty yard
chunk plays. Yeah, it was just a masterful performance by
their offensive line and their running back. And you know,
the attrition is starting to show when you start off
the season with guys that aren't necessarily big time on

(08:04):
the front line. The other part of that is real
evidence that your depth is even more questionable. If your
starters are more depth guys, then your backup guys really
aren't ready to play. And we've lost some guys on
our offensive and defensive lines, especially defensive side, and today
that showed, big, big time. These guys who were playing
today were not ready to face the onslaught of what

(08:27):
Iowa could do running the ball.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Even the best quarterbacks struggled during pressure, and Will was
under pressure the entire game. And I don't think our
receivers do a great job. But when the quarterback gets
outside the pocket, it's the receiver's job to mirror the
quarterback and find the gaps. I didn't see one receiver
getting open. And then Will doesn't do a good job
of throwing the ball when he's on the run.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:50):
Well, I mean Giles Jackson had fifteen targets in this game.
Today he only had sixty three yards receiving.

Speaker 5 (08:56):
Giles Jackson is not supposed to be an underneath receiver.
He's supposed to take the top off the defense. We're
running him on five and six yard routes. We're not
even going deep. I don't see real Will Rogers going
deep to Johns.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
Did they have enough time other than the fleet flicker today?

Speaker 5 (09:12):
I mean, you can always run a quick fade, you
can always do something, But I don't see him. He's
not an underneath receiver like we're using it.

Speaker 6 (09:20):
But our tackles today got their butts.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
That that was Swane and as a party because Maximus
McCree started the game at left tackle, got hurt and
then Jed Fish said, he's who.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Knows how long he'll be out for us.

Speaker 2 (09:33):
So Swane Fasolo, who was your original starting left tackle,
who I think just got flat flat out beat out
eventually by Maximus McCree for that job, maybe partly because
he was banged up, and I think it over time
they realized that Maximus might be better, and now he
might be going for god knows how long, so he's
in there.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
But you're right, the tackles had a horrible day to day.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
But look, I mean, guys, just go back to the
way this whole thing began for U doub right. I mean,
they're they're moving the ball on Iowa. They're mixing things up.
You know, we're thinking to ourselves, Okay, this is a
situation where you have the one hundred and thirty twenty
whatever rated passing defense, sorry, one hundred and twenty seventh
best hat passing defense in college football. They're doing to

(10:13):
Iowa exactly what they tried to do to Michigan, coming
out and throwing the ball and they're having some success.
It's a seven to seven game. Iowa was gone three
and out twice. Isaiah Ward, Bobby Wagner's nephew, has a sack,
Udub gets the ball back, and three plays later Will
Rogers fumbles. He's holding the ball out here like it's
a candle open. Somebody knocks it away. Iowa takes over, defense,

(10:34):
holds to three. You're down ten to seven. Then you
go three and out, give up a thirty seven yard
punt return. Five plays later, you're down ten right because
of a special team's mistake.

Speaker 3 (10:42):
And then you come out of the locker room. This
is what really bothers me.

Speaker 2 (10:45):
You come out of the locker room after a break
and you go interception, turnover on downs, turnover on downs,
turnover un downs, and in the meantime, the defense can stop,
can't stop anybody. Iowa was scored on six straight possessions, guys,
seven seven? Was it seven straight possessions in this game?
So the offense has taken all these chances. Let's go

(11:07):
back and first of all, talk about the first one. Okay,
I want to go back to the first fourth down
attempt that you doub ran, because we're sitting there in
the press box, Greg and I.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
And Mario after the Giles jack correct Giles Jackson Boston.
She got the first.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
Down, and we're wondering if maybe it was a little
bit too early for something like that. I'm trying to
remember exactly what the.

Speaker 4 (11:29):
First one was when they were on the forty yard line,
so it was too far to kick the field goal right, too.

Speaker 6 (11:35):
Close to punt right. So I kind of understood going
for that.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
Fourth and eleven down twenty three to ten with four
thirty one to go in.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
The third quarter.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
Right before that, though, four there was a sack right
before correct, So that one's a little bit different because
it was kind of no man's lane.

Speaker 3 (11:50):
Then you're down thirty to ten and you.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
Go forward on fourth and four from your.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Own thirty with about thirteen minutes to go, and.

Speaker 4 (11:58):
Again, no way do that, absolutely not, because you're putting
your offensive your defensive team in a super disadvantage. You
have not blown these guys off the ball all day.
You haven't been able to have enough time to throw
a pass, so it was a risky chance.

Speaker 6 (12:14):
And then when they got the ball.

Speaker 4 (12:15):
Back, bang bang, No, it's one play, yeah, one play, Yeah,
that the one pass their quarterback completed. That looked the
guys running wide open scores a touchdown that.

Speaker 2 (12:23):
Dayton Howard had that touchdown for thirty seven thirty three yards.

Speaker 3 (12:26):
That you're saying the first fourth down.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
Nine, you get it because you're kind of in no
man's land, like Grady Gross has been whatever.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Another one block today. The review on.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
The field goal that he made. If you watch the replay,
it looks like you missed it. Guys it right, but
you can't review it because it went over the top
of the upright, which is not reviewable.

Speaker 5 (12:51):
This shouldn't even review that.

Speaker 3 (12:52):
But everything looked like he may have missed it.

Speaker 2 (12:54):
But Iowa got one that they looked like they may
have missed as well, So it may it may have
all even out.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
But there's there's a couple of issues there.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
Number one the timing of the fourth down attempts, and
then number two the special teams play.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Overall, you give up that long part return.

Speaker 2 (13:09):
Grady Gross, he's not right correct either A he's banged up,
something wrong with his leg whatever, or B he's got
you know, the shanks or whatever.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
Who knows what we see? We start having tryouts. No,
I don't, I don't.

Speaker 3 (13:22):
Ever want to call the sounders.

Speaker 5 (13:23):
I mean, honestly, I don't ever want to get on
here and get on a young man, but we cannot
afford to not be able to kick field goals. There
has to be something.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
Yeah, well, I don't know if the block was on him.

Speaker 2 (13:35):
Last week, you could argue the block maybe maybe was
on him because the trajectory of that ball came out
way too low.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
It didn't look like the case today with this kid.

Speaker 5 (13:42):
I don't know. Every time we're kicking a field goal,
it's like flipping a coin. We're not sure what's gonna happen,
whether it's gonna be blocked, it's gonna be missed, or what.
We have to do something. You have to shore that up.
You can't go into the games thinking fifty to fifty on.

Speaker 6 (13:55):
A field goal.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
And you said it yourself. The one that he did make,
maybe he did it was close. He's not hitting the
ball dead center and down the middle of the goal post.
Having said that, the first drive, if the penalties don't
come back and haunt us because we have first in
goal and we jump off sides and now there's a
right and so you know, those are things that are

(14:18):
still still lingering and still haunting us.

Speaker 6 (14:21):
But having said all that, we're gonna go back to this.

Speaker 4 (14:24):
We're just not good enough on the offensive and defensive lines.
We're not deep enough whatever you want to call it
to win against these caliber You know that that that meet.
But I call these the meat potatoes in the Big Ten. Iowa, Wisconsin,
you know teams like that, maybe even Indiana. You know
Penn State. They run the football, they play good deep

(14:47):
his the game plan. I get you if we stole
the game plan, it says play good defense, make them
make a mistake, win the kicking game, and run the football.
And that's exactly what they did, even their defense. We
moved the ball their defense, but it was that bid.
But don't break right. Yeah, they'll move the ball on
the sum, but they'll make a mistake and we won't
make any.

Speaker 5 (15:08):
And that was their game plan. I don't care what
you do. Jonah Coleman cannot only test the ball eleven
times a game. I don't care if we're getting behind
or what we're trying to do. That young man needs
to get the ball more than eleven times. He got
the ball rushing nine and caught maybe two passes. That's
not enough.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
So you think, So I'm gonna go back and look
at the halftime box score. So Washington's down by ten
at the break, and Jonah Coleman had seven rushing attempts
in the first halfexcined, Will Rodgers threw the ball twenty
six times. Okay, you are talking about facing the thirteenth
best rushing defense rushing, Yeah, fifteenth, sorry, best rushing defense
in college football, and the one hundred and twenty seventh

(15:47):
best passing offense.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
In college football.

Speaker 2 (15:49):
However, U dub coming into this thing was the number
fifty eight run defense and they got shredded.

Speaker 6 (15:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
One of the things though, that and I kind of
understood some of this, Mario, because I was watching Michigan's defense.

Speaker 6 (16:02):
Sometimes they had nine guy they.

Speaker 4 (16:03):
Would shift Iowa one of the I mean Iowa's they
would shift the safety down in the box. And they
had three linebackers, four linemen, a safety and all in
the box. And so in a lot of those plays,
if you're gonna run into that, it's going to be
tough sledding. What they did do is whenever Iowa dropped
the second safety back deep. I don't know if it
was a checkout or whatever, if they had just happen

(16:26):
to call running plays on those plays, they ran the
football in better situations than they did, you know, if
they would have just ran into those nine man, eight
and nine man fronts. So I think a lot of
it was they just did not want to run into
that eight to nine man front.

Speaker 5 (16:40):
The kid averaged nine yards of carry. I don't care
what anybody said.

Speaker 6 (16:44):
Those are the nine times when they were not in
the eight nine telling you, I'm watching this.

Speaker 5 (16:49):
Even if you're not running the ball to this young man,
you have to figure out different way. That's what the
offensive coordinators for, to figure out different ways to get
your playmakers the ball, right, you have to get Jones
to the ball some type of way.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
So even if you take away the thirty one yard run,
which I think the second half, going this half, he's
still averaged six yards of carriy, thank you, Okay, even
if you take that one the bone yeah, well, I
mean we talked about that in the pregame show a
little bit, right, that this was a guy that you
thought you would be able to build your offense around
and have an offensive identity of pounding the ball down
people's throats, and it hasn't been the case the last

(17:21):
couple weeks with Jonah Coleman. Yeah, they beat Michigan and
I had no problem with the game pan. Look, I
don't even really give a damn with the game plan.
It's just making a winning game plan. And the problem
is they haven't been able to do that. Away from
Husky Stadium. They're rowing three, they're out gaining their opponents.
They can't finish drives. They have bone headed mistakes, they
make mistakes on special teams. Today they had two fall
starts inside the red zone. One of them cost them,

(17:42):
by the way, because it led to a black field
goal inside the that's right. The second one they actually
were able to overcome and take care of it.

Speaker 6 (17:49):
But the red.

Speaker 2 (17:50):
Zone touchdown issues are still a problem for this football team.
It's twenty twenty four. Don't tell me about field goals
in the red zone. Tell me about touchdowns. And they're
under fifty not good enough.

Speaker 4 (18:02):
Yeah, they're not good enough upfront, throwed in that ten
yard line where you can just say we're gonna push
the ball down their throat score tests out. We're gonna
run Jollen Coleman, or we're gonna run Muhammad who looks
great fresh. Yeah, he has some good runs today. Uh
and I think our offensive line showed today that they're
just not that time I would really love to see.

Speaker 6 (18:23):
And they tried to go.

Speaker 4 (18:24):
To the young man, right, They tried to give him
an opportunity down in the red zone to score. But
what happens, We get a penalty, we jump offside. Now
him on first and goal from the four. That's the
situation you want to mile Williams to be in. Right,
he's got that run pass option, he's got the red zone.

Speaker 6 (18:43):
He can run. But then when you moving back.

Speaker 4 (18:44):
Five yards now it's second and nine or whatever, then
it's not the same thing. Sure, that's when now you
got to go back and try to figure out how
do we get into the end zone from here with
a sure field trying to pass the football.

Speaker 3 (18:57):
I'm glad he's coming around, right. It took some time.

Speaker 6 (19:01):
No, No, I love him. I love him in that package.
But we mentioned that don't get the negative yard.

Speaker 3 (19:06):
Once you get the false start, you gotta pull him out.
And it's second and thirteen. That's not it. That's not
a demon Williams drive or down.

Speaker 6 (19:14):
Totally agree.

Speaker 5 (19:14):
We have a very vanilla package. Down in the red zone.
It's the same few plays every time. And I talked
about it earlier. I do think we could put Demand
Williams in there and run the option, But we keep
running the option with will Rogers. How do you run
the option with him if he never takes it and
takes the ball himself and we throw the same fade
route or slant to Denzel down in the red zone.

(19:36):
We don't have a nice red zone package. Yeah, all right,
well let's do this. Let's get a break. H you
want to vent out there?

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Vent away two age six ninety five, ninety five or
eight hundred eight two nine or nine five? Oh, Christopher
Kidd is back in the studio, smart ass Cougar fan
taking your phone calls at two age six ninety Yeah, yeah,
it was that on the air, by the way, So
or was that just for us?

Speaker 5 (19:58):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (19:58):
Thanks pal, really appreciate jump on the air with us.
Tell us your thoughts on this. You're four and three,
you got five games left to go. You gotta win
two of them. You gotta go two to three minimum
to get to a bowl game, to get the extra practices,
all that stuff that comes along with it that you've
been hearing on this show for thirty years, so you
know the drill. Jump on, give us your thoughts two

(20:19):
ed six ninety five ninety five or eight hundred and
eight two nine nine to five. Oh Huskies get blown
apart by Iowa forty to sixteen in a game they
were once down by thirty points on did you ever
think playing a team like the Iowa haw guys, you'd
need to be concerned about being down thirty against Iowa.
We've got to break your thoughts coming up next live

(20:39):
from Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City, right here on ninety
three three KJRFM.

Speaker 1 (20:43):
Now back to Husky Doug postgame Howard by your notewest
Chevy Dealers and brought to you by Coor's Life by
Emerald Queen Casino, UA Local thirty two by Hyder Construction,
rn R Foundation Specialists, Darwin Natural Bet Products by Center
Medals on Sports Radio ninety three point three JJR FM.

Speaker 2 (21:08):
Good, They're back in Iowa City, Kinnick Stadium where the
Huskies get drilled by Iowa by twenty four forty to sixteen,
most points allowed by U dub since the ASU game
in twenty two, biggest margin of defeat by U dub
since the Apple Cup in twenty twenty one. That was
the famous Jaden Dolora game. And it's the most points
I believe scored by Iowa in a conference game since

(21:29):
the Maryland game four years ago. So this is not
typically what Iowa does against other Big Ten teams, but
they did it today against the Huskies. College football scoreboard
real quick. Texas up on Oklahoma seven to three, early
second quarter in the Red River rivalry.

Speaker 3 (21:46):
Don't call it a shootout, by the way, USC.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Another team traveling multiple times on Penn States down fourteen
to three to USC right now, early second quarter from
the Coliseum Notre Dame leeds Stanford fourteen to seven mid
second and number twenty to pit at home up on
California in a classic ACC battle, by the way, fourteen
to six early second from Pittsburgh. Number twenty three Illinois
over Purdue ten to three in the second from Champanya

(22:12):
and Arizona leads number fourteen BYU seven to nothing late
first quarter. Mississippi State up on number five Georgia three
zip also early first from Athens. Coming up soon Florida, Tennessee,
Ohio State Oregon at four thirty.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
All right, let's go to the phone lines.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
Husky postgame show brought to you by Chevy Tracks bigger
and border like the Northwest Tracks is the small SGV
that gives you amazing style and all the tech and
an unbelievable price. Softy Mario Greg from Iowa City. Joel
in Tacoma, your first up, go Joel.

Speaker 7 (22:45):
Yes, I would just wander I to you guys could
tell me what Florida's record is, because I hope that
job opens at fish Leaves.

Speaker 3 (22:52):
They're three and two bell.

Speaker 7 (22:56):
Flour and three.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
Oh Florida is three and two?

Speaker 6 (22:59):
All right?

Speaker 2 (23:00):
I mean, I mean you could just google it instead
of calling us. By the way, it's always Bramvy.

Speaker 7 (23:04):
But then the other thing too is Jedfish has t
Carrol syndrome. By saying we're going to fix it never does.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
Well.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
He's only coached seven games at Washington. So we'll see
what happens as the year goes by on what it
looks like next year.

Speaker 3 (23:19):
But today was bad.

Speaker 2 (23:20):
I mean, I don't think there's anybody who's going to
just excuse away what happened today. I mean, I guess
if you want, they're down some bodies on the offensive
and defensive line.

Speaker 3 (23:28):
I mean, look, I mean, you guys know me.

Speaker 2 (23:30):
I figured there's going to be a game at some
point this year where the offensive and defensive lines got outclashed,
and today was officially that day for you, Dub Greg.

Speaker 4 (23:38):
Yeah, we don't have any depth in those positions. We
built it kind of on the run. Some of the
guys that we're really counting on are out banged up injured,
not just on the line, but I think we've all
talked about Brunner being hampered a little bit with his
shoulder injury, and these are tough, physical games that were
playing these This is what you know, all those people

(23:58):
when they tell us welcome to ten football, this is
what they mean. It means we're gonna poulenge you, pallenge you,
pallenge you until you came in or until you don't
have the depth to stick with us, and then we're
gonna break some you know, Like I said, it was
really an a gap B gap game today. But I
just gotta you know, we all got a little excited
because we've seen this team have some success. We've seen

(24:20):
that they got some talented players, some skilled players coming
into the season. I was the first person to say
six and six, seven and five, because we're replacing fifty
three guys and our offensive and defensive lines are not
that stout. And although we've had some success, we've you know,
the quarterbacks played really well. We've seen our running back
have some really good games. Our receivers are catching, but passes.

(24:42):
We got a little excited and felt like, well, maybe
we're a little better. Well, I think the reality kind
of smacked us in the face today. Yeah, football is
one on the line of scrimmage, and we're not good
enough in that area.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
Yeah, I mean, I don't think there's any thing to
be apologetic for. I mean, you're four and two and
you're beating Michigan and you're thinking we're just nine yards
away from being six and zero and all that stuff.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
But at the same time.

Speaker 2 (25:06):
Like you said, they got fifty one new guys, they
have a totally brand new offensive line. There's nobody of
name recognition on that defensive front right now, nobody. There's
not one All Conference candidate probably anywhere on the line
of scrimmage for this football team. So what happened today
eventually was going to happen. It just happened to take

(25:26):
place in a game where you're facing one of the
most physical teams in the conference.

Speaker 5 (25:30):
Football is won in the trenches, and we were thin
from the beginning of the season. We're just at a
point in the season, game seven, where we're extra thin
and we need to get some guys healthy. I think
the guys have done a wonderful job up until this
point of filling in the gaps and making sure that
we could be competitive. Yep, today we just kind of
got exposed. We need to get some guys healed and
figured out. We got a nice little week off to

(25:52):
figure some things out and get some guys back healthy.

Speaker 3 (25:55):
Scott and Shahalos, you're on with the Hawks.

Speaker 8 (25:57):
Go ahead, man, taking my car, guys, seeh I like
you guys mentioned you know, I thought there was a
bad day at the office coming and and today it was.
And it's just a simple offensive and defensive line issue.
And I think the Jed, Jed, with Carol and Belichick's credit,
I think they've done a wonderful job of hiding and
masking and doing everything they can to put that together

(26:20):
and had I think a good amount of success. Jed
knows that he's talked about how physical big time football
is he's talked about how we have to match that,
and we don't have the bullet right now. If we're
talking about this in two years, that's a whole different problem.

Speaker 6 (26:34):
But I think you.

Speaker 8 (26:35):
Get it, and I think he will, you know, get
the pieces in place. My question is is that if
we're only going to run Coleman twelve fourteen, fifteen times
a day, and that seems to be Jed's mo and
he seems to be on that, how did that go
in terms of recruiting the next running back who sees
that and says, you know, why would I come there
and not be the guy who gets twenty twenty two carrying,
et cetera. So I'll take answer.

Speaker 3 (26:56):
Off, all right, man, Greg Yeah, off in the yeries
of a high schoed player.

Speaker 4 (27:01):
Well, first of all, when I was getting recruited and
coming to University of Washington, I was like, I'm so good,
They're gonna have to give me the ball twenty carries
at least. I'm just saying that's your mentality, your mindset.
I think when people watch this team, they see that
the running backs are getting the ball. Jonah Coleman may
not get it twenty times. But Cam Davis is getting carries,

(27:22):
Muhammad is getting carried. So I think you see as
a player being recruited that Washington's gonna run the football,
and you, as a guy who's confident in yourself, believes
that you're the guy who's gonna make sure that the
coaches give you that number of carries or touch the
ball in some kind of way.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
Nowadays, getting the.

Speaker 4 (27:37):
NFL, though, you got to be able to catch the football,
you got to be able to pass, block, you gotta
be able to do all those things, and that's the
ultimate goal, winning and then getting to the next level.
So I think kids see that you can do that
at Washington. Jonah Coleman's gonna have a chance to play
at the next level and hopefully we'll have more success
this year. And if he was to come back next year,
which I'm not sure he would, but if he does,

(27:59):
I'm sure he'll get the kerries and we'll win the
games that he needs in order to be prepared for
the next level.

Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yeah, are they just?

Speaker 2 (28:05):
I mean again, if you're facing the one hundred and
twenty third best passing defense in college football, why would
you not open up the way they did today? Open
up the way they did against Michigan, try to get
a lead like you had against Michigan and make Iowa
throw the ball to come from behind. I thought it
was a solid plan from the start. They just weren't
able to execute it and finish drives.

Speaker 5 (28:27):
Yeah, we continue to have problems in the red zone.
We continue to make mistakes. We had two penalties inside
the ten. But I still think you can run the
ball a little bit more. But you're right. If you're
going to have one hundredth ranked passing defense, then right,
you're going to pass the ball. But again, I still
feel Jonah is our best weapon. We can get him
involved in the passing game to get him his hands

(28:50):
on the ball to make play.

Speaker 2 (28:52):
That's a guy in Jeed Fisher in his first year
at Arizona got hammered right, went one and eleven and
got blown out in a lot of those football games,
and then really began to turn things around starting in
twenty twenty two. So maybe we thought this team was
better than it was, and maybe we thought that this
football team was more ready to win than it was.

Speaker 3 (29:10):
Again, I've been kind of with you.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
You know that, Hey, you make a bowl game, you
win six games, you got fifty new guys, you got
two starters back, You lost your entire offense, you lost
your entire infant offensive line. You really have nothing of
note back on the defensive front. And look, let me
just say something about Zach Durfee. So Zach Durfie didn't
play today. He was out with a two feet Well,
but that's the thing is that it's always the next

(29:33):
shiny new toy that people get the most excited about.
And look, I'm sure he's a swell guy, but what
have we seen from Zach Durfy that makes us think
he's Joey or Nick Bosa?

Speaker 3 (29:46):
Nothing?

Speaker 4 (29:46):
You know where I stand on that. I've always felt
like it was more hype than anything. But I was
willing to wait and see this year. But of course
it has a material life. But having said all of that,
I will say this though, because of the transfer portal,
you can get one or two offens alignment in the
portal this year. Once this season is over, these guys

(30:08):
have had chances to build some relationships. Now you know,
they know what they're nil. Situation looks like they kids
can see that this team can compete.

Speaker 6 (30:17):
Into the Big ten.

Speaker 4 (30:19):
So now you go out and you shore up those
holes that you have. You find those tackles right now,
it's a matter of our tackles.

Speaker 6 (30:26):
Our center.

Speaker 4 (30:26):
I think you talked about it before the game. I
still think he plays solid even today. Our guards are decent.
Our tackles right now are the ones who are struggling.
So can you go out and find some depth? You know,
a guy to compete, come in for compete for a
starting role next year. Hopefully as a party gets better,
MAXI McCree gets better, you bring in that other tackle,

(30:47):
and now you have three guys who can battle for
that position going in next year. So you can, with
the transfer portal turn this around a little faster than
you could in the old days.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
All right, let's get a break. We'll come back a
more post game coverage. Forty to sixteen final, Iowa thumping
the Huskies today by twenty four. Yeah, right here on
ninety three three KJRFM. All right, we are back here
at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa. If you forgot the Huskies
played at nine am this morning, I mean, what time

(31:16):
is it back in Seattle?

Speaker 3 (31:17):
One to fifty?

Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, tell you what it feels weird to have a
college football game end at two o'clock in the afternoon
locally two o'clock. You're done, right, you know, one fifty
this thing is over, you know, hour and a half ago.
But forty to sixteen final Will Rodgers twenty two to
thirty four. A buck ninety five touchdown interception going to
Denzel Boston there on the right sideline, gets kind of,
you know, confused a bit there with Denzel and gets

(31:40):
picked off. Kate McNamara again, just an unbelievable day for him,
just historical eight to fourteen for one hundred and eight
yards passing for Kate McNamara doing yet again what he
has to do to beat Washington with a phenomenal running
game behind him.

Speaker 3 (31:54):
I mean, does the guy just look to.

Speaker 2 (31:56):
Transfer to schools where he knows he can start and
just have somebody run the ball for him fifty times
a game like at Michigan.

Speaker 4 (32:03):
Well, all I know is Caleb Johnson is the guy,
this stud that's really dominated us today. It had nothing
to do with mc namara. He threw one good pass.

Speaker 2 (32:11):
As far as I'm concerned, the entire football He's put
up seventy one points in two starts against U dubh
and he's thrown for one hundred and fifty two yards total.

Speaker 6 (32:22):
It's one of those odds statistical bitch.

Speaker 2 (32:25):
Good lord, let's go back to the phones for a minute. Here,
we got Trey and Tacoma.

Speaker 9 (32:30):
You're on the air, tray, Hey, softy at Greg Mario.
Very disappointing loss today. I kind of agree with that
Mario said about maybe holding tryouts for a new kicker
because we can't we can't afford to not be able
to make a field goal. And like Mario said, with

(32:53):
the fifty to fifty coin flip, even an extra point
is a little bit concerning with our kick or so.
I don't know if he's injured or what, but we.

Speaker 7 (33:04):
Need to figure that out quickly.

Speaker 9 (33:07):
Another thing, too, is I just have an issue with
this football team, just the level of consistency and them
being able to play a full football game like they
against Michigan. We have not seen that yet.

Speaker 7 (33:25):
We think that they're starting to do.

Speaker 9 (33:28):
Something good and then they have a game like today
after a huge one by Michigan.

Speaker 3 (33:32):
Can I ask you a question real quick? Tray?

Speaker 2 (33:35):
Yeah, and again you know, excuses not excuses whatever, But
is part of that fifty new players.

Speaker 3 (33:43):
Yeah, kind of part of what happens when you have
fifty new guys.

Speaker 2 (33:46):
Like if you were if if if the four of
us were talking about Trey a different football team, Like
let's say we're talking about Kentucky or Illinois or Miami
and we heard a postgame show where somebody said, man,
simply inconsistent, and you would.

Speaker 3 (34:01):
Say, yeah, they got fifty new guys.

Speaker 2 (34:03):
I mean, does that just simply put tray kind of
part of what happens when you have fifty new players.

Speaker 7 (34:10):
Yeah, I think though.

Speaker 9 (34:11):
But another thing is we see this team, and we've
seen them be able to play four fundamentally sound quarters
of football.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Right, I think the but I think the inconsistency and
I appreciate the call. And look, guys, I'm just tossing
that out there for one reason. We've never seen this
before in the history of college football. Right, There's never
been this kind of turnover. Well, have Colorado last year? Right, Okay,
with that they won four games? Well, but I'm talking
about in general terms, just this era. Right last year,

(34:41):
this year. This wasn't happening ten years ago, this wasn't
happening twenty years ago. This current new era of college football.
This new dawning of whatever the hell this is on
college football comes with stuff like this, I mean, does
it not?

Speaker 6 (34:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (34:55):
And just like Colorado situation last year on the lines
is where you have a hard time replacing that many
guys with quality football players. And you talk about last
week with Michigan. Here's the difference. Last week. Guys that
were our starters coming into the season actually played, but

(35:17):
they got hurt and beat up in that Michigan game.
That's kind of the deal. It's at Trician. It's not
enough depth. You know, you might be able to put
enough guys out there as starters that can get you
through a game, but then when you start losing them,
when guys like McCree get hurt and Durfy get hurt
and park Ark get hurt, now you've depleted even that

(35:39):
okay depth that you had and it becomes no depth
at all. And then you play another physical opponent and
you're on the road. This is what's gonna happen again.
Before the season started, I remember in our first post
game show, I was like, you got a guy from
Portland State, you got a junior college guy on the
defensive side, you got a guy who used to play
offensive line.

Speaker 6 (35:59):
You got a guy Wild State who started two games.

Speaker 4 (36:02):
It just seems like it's gonna be tough for us
to come together in the front lines. We got a
little excited and seeing some good things last week was great,
but again, those guys that played last week, Durfy didn't
play this week, Parker didn't play. McCree only played one
or two series. Now you're really getting depleted in that depth,
and those guys just can't hold up.

Speaker 6 (36:23):
Well. You said it.

Speaker 5 (36:25):
Colorado, they won four games. They started out kind of
like Gangbusters and everything was good and everybody was hyped
on Colorado. That's how Washington started. But this Big Ten
is so physical that this season is gonna be a
very long season if we can't get guys healthy, and
you're gonna see the inconsistencies when you have so much turnover.

(36:46):
So I'm concerned, and like I said to you guys
before we started this broadcast, this evening is like, can
we get a road win in the Big Ten or
we're gonna go out on the Big Ten and not
win on the road. Because these next three road games Oregon, Indiana,
and Penn State, those are some tough places to play.

Speaker 3 (37:04):
Yeah, no doubt.

Speaker 2 (37:05):
I mean it's it's possible they go over on the road, yeah,
no question. Well, and I just think, really what we
should do, But it's not our DNA as sports fans.
It's to stop sitting here from week to week and
making these proclamations based on what we see on a
given Saturday, like after the Michigan game, Oh we're back,
we're going nine to three, we're going to beach whatever,

(37:25):
all that, right, But I think that there are people
that do And look, if you want to be that fan,
then that's fine, go ahead.

Speaker 3 (37:32):
I'm not telling you what to do. Do whatever you want.

Speaker 2 (37:34):
But for me, I'm I'm sitting here in a position
I think you guys are probably with me. I don't
know what the hell we're gonna get every week, guys
with this team.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
Honestly, I got no clue. I mean, look at Indiana,
they're undefeated, but who have they really beaten?

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Nobody? Right, I have no idea how good Curtis Rourke is.
For God's sakes, to transfer from Miami of Ohio, I
have no idea how good USC really is. Penn State's
had to travel across multiple time zone and busting to
Harrisburg and fly out of there.

Speaker 3 (38:02):
They're probably pissed off and annoying.

Speaker 2 (38:04):
James Franklin didn't help him any with all that, the
way melt Tucker did a couple of years ago in
Michigan State. But I just think, I don't know what
these guys are gonna be from week to week. When
you've got fifty one new players and now you got
guys that are banged up, and now you're playing a
different style of football. Now you're playing a different style
of offense. I got no idea what to expect from
week to week.

Speaker 6 (38:23):
Right.

Speaker 2 (38:23):
What I don't want to see happen is these guys
shoot themselves in the foot and make these unforced errors,
like the false starts, like the special teams breakdowns, things
like that, and that happened way too much today.

Speaker 5 (38:34):
Uh, We've been talking about it all season long after
the first few games. This is what the inconsistency has been.
We get these penalties, we get these unfortunate penalties at
the times when we're about to go into the red zone.
The red zone has been a struggle for us. But
it goes back to what you were just talking about.
If you have fifty one new guys, we're gonna be inconsistent, right.

Speaker 3 (38:54):
No question.

Speaker 6 (38:55):
The margin of error is razors in. Right.

Speaker 4 (38:58):
You get guys hurt that chips into that margin. You
make self inflicted wounds that chips into that margin. When
you don't have that quality death and you have inconsistency,
it is going to actually be that week to week
kind of thing, yes, because if all your guys aren't hurt,
you're making mistakes. You're just not good enough and deep

(39:19):
enough to overcome that. At some point, the damn is
gonna break. And the damn broke today on that play
right before halftime, yep, when they went fifty three yards
off the big.

Speaker 6 (39:31):
Gap right off the right tack.

Speaker 2 (39:33):
Well, and you're right about the fourth down attempts that
they had because they just I mean, you guys, I'm
sure have played cards, blackjack whatever to start chasing, right.
You know, I'm gonna get it all back on one hand, right,
and it doesn't work like that, right. I mean, that's
the same thing with the fourth downs today that you
go for it on fourth down, fourth and eleven. You
mentioned that, Greg, they're kind of in no man's land. Okay, Fine,
they get stopped there. The first play of the next drive, though,

(39:56):
Caleb Johnson goes for twenty three yards and all of
a sudden they go from the thirty to your thirty
eight yard line and they're set up, you know, to
go make a run and get a touchdown. At that point,
you're down twenty with fourteen fifty six to go, and
you're just in desperation, milk, right then you start chasing.
Then then you start trying to get it all back
on one drive, and you're saying, even down twenty points

(40:18):
with thirteen minutes to go in the game, you would
have punted the football away.

Speaker 4 (40:22):
Well, the thing about Iowa was there's still not a
dynamic offensive team, right Yeah. If you going to win
this game, you're gonna have to get some stops. You
can't let them keep scoring. So you punt the football
and put your defense out there and say, you guys,
gotta get a stop, you gotta get a three and out,
get something, and then we can try to make some plays.
If you give them that short field. Again, their office

(40:42):
doesn't have to be dynamic. All they gotta do is
get ten yards kick a field goal, and now you're
more behind.

Speaker 6 (40:48):
So that is not good strategy.

Speaker 3 (40:50):
To me, Well, how about you?

Speaker 5 (40:52):
What a tough one? Where do you stand on that?
It was a tough one. The first thing, The first
thing I did was look over do we go for this?
As the question out loud, like do we go for this?
I don't know in that situation, he's not thinking no,
I'm not a carpet, thank you. But but we did
go for it, and you're down twenty points, like you

(41:13):
gotta do something. Yeah, I'm not mad. I'm not mad
at that call.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
At that point, you gotta get stops with your down
twenty you're not gonna if they score field goals.

Speaker 6 (41:22):
You're still going to sing.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Yeah, but that's the But that's exactly it. That Okay,
So the first one you can excuse because it's no
man's land for the field goal. The second one we're
getting kind of desperate at the ball. The third one
we're really getting desperate, by the way. But the problem
is the defense on three six, eight nine total plays
after those first two fourth down conversions gave up two touchdowns.

Speaker 6 (41:47):
Yeah, but you.

Speaker 3 (41:47):
Four and a half plays per drive and they're getting
pushed around.

Speaker 4 (41:50):
But think about if you put the ball right now,
they're not in scoring range with just one first down,
so they gotta do a little you know, some things
differently and hopeful out in the middle of the field
or with them backed up, your defense can dig in
and get a stop. If they don't, you going to
lose anyway.

Speaker 2 (42:06):
Well, I just wonder at the time of possession, Uh,
like thirteen Huskies won it.

Speaker 3 (42:10):
It was thirty thirty five to twenty five. Basically they
just got the ball thirty five twenty five.

Speaker 2 (42:16):
But that's the thing is I just wonder how much
Jeedfish just saw that defense not being able to get
off the field at that point of the game and
just said, look, the only way I have to.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
Win this game is to take some gambles here on
four down.

Speaker 5 (42:27):
Okay, game was over.

Speaker 3 (42:29):
Yeah, yeah's shaking his head. It's radio. You can't see it,
but shaking the stead.

Speaker 5 (42:33):
Game was over.

Speaker 4 (42:33):
Cut the ball to stop them, You get them off
the field, you score, and then you do what you
can do from there.

Speaker 2 (42:38):
By the way, I want to correct something real quick.
Curtis Work is from Ohio, not Miami, of Ohio, not
Ohio State, Ohio not Miami. So I apologize profusely to
all those people out there who were really offended by that,
including Tony Castricunk. We're got to break, come back and
wrap it up from the Stadium forty to sixteen, beat

Denzel Boston has nine touchdowns now, He's halfway to Mario
Merley's record at Washington. He had the national lead for
a while until Nick Nash from Santose Madvin Nash, What
movie anybody? Madvin Nash has now his tenth touchdown for
San Jose State, so he's got the lead back. But

(44:26):
Denzel was part of a play that got Will Rogers
picked off. For those that didn't hear your breakdown, Mario,
what did you see happen on that play?

Speaker 5 (44:34):
I've just seen him run a half effort out route
and he rounded it off. The guy cutrun right underneath.
He was running it at the sticks. I think the
guy just waited for it. He sat on it. He
didn't give him anything, and Will didn't do a good
job of looking him off right away. He should have
went off of that. He looked at this receiver the
entire time. If you look at it. It's just like

(44:55):
a throwing catch.

Speaker 2 (44:56):
Yeah, if you want to see more of Demon Williams,
less of Demon Williams, or exactly what.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
You've been seeing of DeMont Williams moving forward.

Speaker 4 (45:03):
Now, you know I don't want to see a ton
more of DeMont Williams. I think you have to play
him a little bit. I just think it's the situation
in what you see him. I think I like to
see him inside that five to seven yard line on
the goal line.

Speaker 5 (45:15):
Right, Okay, got you? Well, I want to see more
of them. Yeah, I think we start playing this kid. Okay,
I think right now in the season where we're at,
what do we four and three?

Speaker 3 (45:23):
Right?

Speaker 5 (45:23):
I think we give him the ball a little bit more.
I want to see him more.

Speaker 3 (45:26):
Mean starting him or.

Speaker 5 (45:29):
Not necessarily starting him, but maybe the last few games
you start him, depending on what the season, what happens
here in the next few games, and now I want
to see him more.

Speaker 2 (45:36):
So you're saying in some world where the thing whole,
the whole thing falls apart and their sparks flying.

Speaker 5 (45:41):
We're almost there, four and three, We're almost there.

Speaker 6 (45:45):
Wow.

Speaker 5 (45:46):
If we come back and go to Indiana and drop
one of these what we just did today, then yes,
you put demand Williams in the game.

Speaker 2 (45:53):
Okay, you get drilled by Indiana, man, you want you
want DeMont Williams to start the next week.

Speaker 5 (45:59):
I'm not mad at that. If four and four with
four games left, why not Greg.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
Well, it's more than just getting him ready or winning
games at that that point, we got to put him
in the right spot, right. I don't want to, you know,
crush the young man's confidence. I don't want to get
him hurt. You know, you go down to Penn State
or maybe Oregon and you know, things get out of
control and he gets hurt, gets nicked up, or plays

(46:26):
really bad and loses his confidence. You know, I'm for one,
I've seen a Husky quarterback get thrown into a bad situation.

Speaker 3 (46:35):
And you know I did it with sam Hewartt three
years ago. I wasn't gonna say we all saw it,
but I'm just.

Speaker 4 (46:40):
Saying I would hate to see a situation like that
happen with this young man. Will Rodgers has earned the
right to be the starting quarterback and to play out
the season. But I agree with Mario that once you
if you do get that fourth loss, put on you
next week, especially if it's bad and Will Rodgers doesn't perform, well,
now you start getting demand a lot of playing time. Yeah,

(47:00):
you get him?

Speaker 2 (47:01):
Ready, Well, you got to buy coming up obviously Indiana,
I believe I said, what's got Nebraska next week?

Speaker 3 (47:06):
The Hoosiers have a buy this week?

Speaker 2 (47:07):
So Indiana after the bye and then it's USC Penn State,
UCLA and Oregon and USC right now is playing Penn
State and they're leading twenty to six twenty to six
late second quarter over Penn State. So that's not going
to be a cakewalk against those guys either when they
come to town. So really, you start thinking about this
thing in reality terms.

Speaker 3 (47:28):
That Indiana game is looming very very large.

Speaker 2 (47:31):
There's only one game the rest of the way where
UB is going to be favored, and that's.

Speaker 3 (47:35):
The UCLA game. That's it.

Speaker 6 (47:36):
That's it.

Speaker 5 (47:37):
Okay, all right?

Speaker 2 (47:38):
So what do you want to see done this week?
It's a bye right, how do you spend your buy?
If you're jet fish, how do you spend the buye
for the players?

Speaker 4 (47:44):
You're praying that guys get healthy. Won you got them
in treatment and got them working out. But this is
the perfect time for a bye week. Because you know why,
this team needs to get better, and it's hard to
get better when you're preparing for a game because you're
installing your game plan and you're working on playing that team.
When you have a bye week, you can just work
on getting better, becoming a better football player, tackling better,

(48:07):
running through tackles, getting off pass blocks, pass protection. You
know you can do those seas, become better football players, passed.
So this is coming at the right time, Mario.

Speaker 5 (48:16):
Yeah, just exactly what Greg said. We're trying to get healthy.
That's the most important. So it's mandatory treatment for just
about everybody. But you're also going back to the fundamentals
and doing the simple things. We even need a whole
special teams. Practice by our special teams is costing us
big time, but it's really just getting back to the fundamentals.

Speaker 3 (48:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
By the way, Texas Oklahoma twenty one to three, Long
Horns late second now from Dallas, USC has gone to
the break. They lead Penn State twenty to six, Notre Dame,
number eleven. Notre Dame up on Stanford twenty one to seven,
Number twenty three, Illinois leading Purdue twenty four to three
in Champagne finals from today. Alabama barely survives against South

(48:56):
Carolina twenty seven to twenty and Alabama wins again after
losing to Vanderbilt last week. Number ten Clemson thumping wake
for US forty nine to fourteen, and number twenty one
Missouri over UMass forty five to three. That Oregon Ohio
State game is coming up in about two hours from Eugene.
Who do you like on that one? By the way,
Ohio State?

Speaker 3 (49:17):
Yeah, I know who you're rooting for. Who do you like? Well?

Speaker 6 (49:19):
I like Ohios Okay.

Speaker 4 (49:20):
I haven't especially been tested, but Oregon hasn't played lights
out either.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
Yeah, got you all right? Mario? How about you? I
bet your thoughts on today's game.

Speaker 5 (49:27):
I like Ohio State. I think they're actually probably the
best team in the country.

Speaker 3 (49:31):
Right, wow, Wow, Well, let's hope they play like it today.

Speaker 2 (49:33):
Boys down there, give us a little, maybe some sunshine
on a third sandwich of a day at least for
Husky football. Right for Chris Kid back in the studio,
Mario Bailey, Greg lewis here in Iowa City. My name
is Dave Sofia Mahler Huskies get hammered by Iowa forty
to sixteen. Today it's a final drop to four and three.
They got to buy, and then Indiana in two weeks

(49:53):
from today in Bloomington.

Speaker 3 (49:55):
We'll see you then, Bye go Dus
