projectile we're really looking forward to that conversation urine as a projectile that's called a hook coach that's a little teaser right now right there but let's was that Machine Gun Kelly doing that music MGK baby MGK time BK all day day he was incredible FK was awesome that triggers that triggers our opening conversation team big noon kickoff was in West Virginia for that WVU Penn State Showdown and I think it's fair to say uh there were a lot of takeaways from that that trip on and off the field but uh number one point a for for me at least coach Morgantown showed up and they were just such a gracious uh energetic host for team big noon kickoff they showed out we got to get back there but you know I've always heard that the the problem was the team in you know I don't want to put it on the you know team but man that crowd everything was great they just didn't play great you know I mean offense defensively and you know you got to give credit to Penn State but as far as Morgantown West Virginia Neil Brown told me it's like Arkansas and Nebraska and he said that with great respect that is the whole world of the citizens of those States because there's no Pro Sports there's really no other college that competes with them and I thought that was really cool for this witness and I'll say this last we went to the athletic director's home I'll tell you God created a beautiful country in America man there's so many beautiful places in this country that uh we never get to see West Virginia is a beautiful place man so I'm sorry coach you had me laughing right now CU because you mentioned Friday night we went up to the athletic director's house they had this big um what was it I I forget the name of the reception ball beautiful reception the house was just you could tell parts of it had just kind of wrapped up there was sod on the ground and in the back was this beautiful pool and I didn't realize that Mark Ingram um is a critic about pools and he offered he offered the ad some um some insight that maybe was information a little bit too late Mark hey I saw the pool and it was Immaculate the whole house was just gorgeous but I was like we could have took it up another level there's always room for improvement right so they had like a cliff over looking like the the cheat River with they call yeah the river and the hills and the the hills the trees and we should have just did the infinity pool right down the infinity pool right off the edge cuz we could have put the bar stools there you wouldn't have got out the pool we would have been pruned up all day man the guy just opened up his brand new pool and Mark's like that's nice but you know what would have been really nice if that was in an infinity pool overlooking everything hi Rob Stone Mark Ingram nice to meet you you should really CH that to an infinity pool he did say he thought about it he said it was going to take too long he said that pool got done in two months theity would have took a year and a half so and in this business who knows where one is so he might have been building it for somebody else if things go about how about the crowd showing up the students Machine Gun Kelly MGK and the place might have been one of the best might have been one of the West Poli not not joking here MGK you know we we didn't really know much about this cat and I know coach you and I were kind of laughing on Thursday and Friday and then you know you ran into him in the hotel parking lot right and you took a picture we're all good oh boy I didn't realize that Cleveland Ohio but that dude showed up and he put on a performance before our show during our show was constantly working the audience the song was so perfect for West Virginia I I walked away from that trip to Morgantown with ample loads of respect for that cat he he brought the energy Rob and I know coach respect him because he was calling him shotgun Kelly at first and he has he hasn't messed it up since he's been tell downlo a bunch of that's how much respect I got he been calling Machine Gun Kelly ever since he took the picture outside the hotel cuz it was shotgun Kelly before that and we were listening to MGK on our drive out of Morgantown back up north to the to the airport in Pittsburgh um we had some weather issues we had some weather issues to deal with um Mar Mark at what moment during Saturday's broadc did you think like may maybe we've made a wrong decision I was like everyone else is going to cover evacuating the everyone else is like running with like urgency now like got a little sense of urgency on them and they're like hey we going to go to the set and I'm looking like it's dark it looks like the movie Twister out here the the the air is chilling the wind is going up the cold air was the big giveaway when that burst of cold air hit yeah yeah yeah but what Wind and Rain are fine it's the other stuff when when that started happening time to go when we got that big gust of wind I was like oh no oh no it's time it took my it that gust of wind and it wasn't even a gust it was almost like a like a circular gust and cold that came out of nowhere and my stuff just and I think I had a some type of paper weight on them and it just like grabbed it and just threw it and pegged it on a camera um yeah it's funny Mark cuz everybody was running from the scene and I felt like a fireman that I'm running into the fire with you guys and I'm like is this really are we this really what we should be doing here are we really going to do this everybody like are we really going to be talking college football in the middle of this tornado that's about to erupt and the lightning behind the hospital and yeah oh man it was chaotic it was it was chaotic to say the least everyone else is running for shelter we running to work but it's co coach I saw like you looked over your shoulder and just saw these bolts of lightning behind the uh behind the hos Hospital like a lot of us I'm not a lightning guy that shows up I got to go that's like don't mess with Mother Nature man you lose we've all lived in Florida right so like we know the power of lightning people out here in California they're like oh it's lightning let's go jump in the the ocean uh the other thing coach to me was Mark Ingram in buckin and coonskin can rock it now that was a jacked up uh Mountaineer man I'm not sure see one Jack like that ghetto fabulous Mountaineer oh my God Mark did you enjoy did you enjoy doing that Mark by the way man I love this you talk about the crowd you talk about the energy we're a part of and then for me just to be able to be in my West Virginia mountainer get up you know what I mean in the crowd turned up I had my musket with me like that was one of my favorite moments of my big no so far man uh all all the people in West Virginia they were showed us so much love there were show so much hospitality and for them to embrace me and appreciate me for putting on that Mountaineer uniform that Mountaineer and uh it was love man it was love I always told people when you go when you go visit a place that the community's culture is on display when you go visit the people and I mean again I what can you say other than yeah thank you Morgantown West Virginia for the way he treated us the f I mean that was that was a plus yes yeah people a place what makes a place special is the people and that's why Morgan toown is so special because it coach what what would it take you take to get you into a buck skin outfit I we'll go back I'll I just I look like Mark I won't let's go let's go just at least the [ __ ] skin cap up top man I loved it what what a fun trip all right it's time for any given Saturday college football's back week number one in the books uh a lot of great games and some interesting intriguing results and some conversations uh that are out there right now so let's start with Sunday in Viva Las Vegas USC fight on baby taking care of LSU 2720 Miller Moss replacing the number one overall pick Caleb Williams all he does is go 27 for 36 378 yards a touchdown Trojans scored with eight seconds left to get that upset win had a part of a rough weekend for certain segments uh of the and I think a lot of us came into this game not really sure where USC was um Mark I'll start with you and then get to coach Mark like what's your takeaway from where the Trojans are right now does this Vault them into top 15 top 10 a total disruptor in the Big 10 where do you see them I think 100% they're top in the top 15 I am extremely impressed with UFC and what they showed we talked about the concern of their offensive line they stood up to the test we talked about the concern of their defense who was bismal who was terrible last year and they baled out they were flying around they were hitting they were they look like a different team so shout out to them for being being prepared being up to the task going against LSU team who played really well and they just made the plays that they needed to make to win the game so I'm I'm very impressed with them and shout out to Miller Moss he Bal out holding it down what about those two receivers your boy out there catching two one-handed passes in traffic with people all around them balling Zachariah Branch they have some Playmakers on offense and with Miller Moss at the helm this team can be a problem just one game Ju Just One game I think it totally skews the conversations we're having about the Big 10 right now because we've been just saying it's Oregon it's Ohio State and now USC is saying hold on a second here I I've got a disruptor card uh that I'm I'm probably going to be playing through the course of the season so far high of the year has been Danton Lynn I mean that was a different looking animal on defense to hold them to 20 points and T you know the the tackling a year ago was it was awful and uh we did actually a couple shows on it and so Lincoln Riley made a change and he brought in the guy from cross town and and UCLA and and it showed up so uh it's time for the Checkmate moment the Checkmate moment Rob is as we do every week it's that that the analogy of the game of chess where you take their King it's over it's last play and as I said last week also that coaches and teams players prepare every day during training camp you're working on those last 25 seconds last 40 seconds and the line I used to call it the line of demarcation what is that uh average kicker it's a 25 yard line a great kicker it's the 30 yard line and that equates to a 48 yard field goal if you're got a good kicker and here it again it happened and USC had the perfect play call 18 seconds left on the LSU 47 and Lincoln Riley Drew up a beautiful play caught him in the right defense covered two two deep safeties they got two up on the safety and my man Moss threw a dime and completed a perfect pass that was game set match Checkmate but they went on to score after the the targeting penalty the the defenseless receiver hit and they scored but that was a Checkmate moment and you play your I'm telling you that was a clean game those are two good teams that was not you know you left that going damp that was a really really good football game but uh yes hats off that you know one team makes a play and one team doesn't that's why you work so damn I mean I just think about that it gives me those post-traumatic stress disorder uh uh oh on baby what's up boys we got two guests today I can't hear him though you got they're saying hi Matt how are you I'm fantastic we're talking about it just feels good to beat up on that old SEC last week you know what I'm saying hey tell them I was just giving USC love big love not the big love for the for USC what what impress Matt Li I by the way I'm just standing up I should be get I'm in Matt's Garage right now doing the show this week that is not my Heisman Kobe Bryant jersey in the garage it is Kobe behind me I thought it was Fletch at first that's Kobe the goat to Matt he said do your thing do your thing uh what impressed you about USC the most um by the way you were having some cocktails watching USC I had I had some uh I had some some tequila I felt good I was um two things really guys and I think it was impressive was one the defense that was the biggest question mark and um I was on the field before I talked to the D line coach who we got from the Rams who's really great talked to Coach Lynn and there's just a different feel about this team now again it's one game and everybody's excited and they should be but um I watched the film last night and it was just all the things coach from last year right the missed tackles Miss assignments everybody out of place like you didn't see that gets a good team she's a good team I don't know how many teams how many games you're going to win but that's a that's a legit SEC team and um they tackled kamay Ramsey their safety is an absolute stud he came from uh UCLA he's a really good player they're just better and they're they're better Coach and then Miller Moss was really impressive and um he's kind of bit his time there he's backed up Caleb for a couple years this and it paid off you know we saw it in the bowl game a year ago and we saw it in this game he was he was unfazed the moment wasn't too big and he was a fisherman it was just a great win and I think just confidence like this team especially the defense has just been been getting CR uh crucified the last couple years like that's a big confidence booster for them could Matt and I get any closer by the way my God that's that's going go viral his whiskers are rubbing up against my face big boy hold on a second before you go from your from your garage tell him to shout out his pie dropping this th my buddy he Matt's got what's what's markk Mark what are you say yeah Throwbacks I'm telling him shout out your podcast Ferrar Turtle what's Mark saying he's just saying

here in about another 45 minutes I got stuff to do in my garage so uh we're keep things thanks Matt ler talk to you on Thursday we had two guests we so many guests we're loaded we got kcoy a little bit later um I want to hear from somebody right now LSU quarterback Garrett nus remember replacing a Heisman winner in his second career start I think we all agreed the dude bald right 2938 304 two tugs one pick here though is his coach Brian Kelly postgame assessing the quarterback play in this game you know they've got some good athletes I thought the quarterback played well tonight he outplayed our quarterback um he made the plays when he needed to on does that feel like throwing your quarterback under the bus to you coach does it sound that way to you or go I I I know Brian Kelly Stoner that's not throwing him under the bus that's throwing him under the 18-wheeler semi your coach your your player just went out there and played his tail off you said it nine incompletions 300 yards two touchdowns he didn't throw an interception until the last pass of the game which the game was over and you go out here and you throw your coach under you throw your player your starting quarterback under the bus you should be encouraging these guys you should be this is the first game of the season we talked about the 12 team expansion the season isn't over now you should be encouraging your teammates encouraging your players bringing your players together instead of throwing your starting quarterback under the bus that is unacceptable and unheard of and quite frankly I know for a fact he probably wants that back I know he wants that comment I know that back because in a tough nailbiter like that that's a that's divisive for your team I'm sure he's apologized to his team I'm sure he's clarified to his team but you have a 12 team playoff coach let's take a step back your your quarterback played extremely well and and and and put y'all in position to be able to win the game there's many other factors no doubt no doubt there many other factors that contributed to that loss yeah when he get back when he gets back to that and someone I'm sure as Sid or whatever brought it up to him cuz we've all been there if your microphones in your face and enough you're going to say something you hug that player up because I don't know what more that player could have done thus SM I he played his ass off now and that was a great setting great environment two great teams playing and someone made a play at the end and and uh yeah that's that's one of those ones uh but I that that was not intentional you got to hug them up and say we got to move on but coach you've done a lot of you've had some tough losses and you've had a lot of postgame conferences have you ever thrown your play directly under the 18 Willer like that I would say no but you know once again it's been 18 years of doing it so I don't I don't think you have Coach I don't listen I get it it it was stressful there you know Brian Kelly was pounding the desk in one of his open your heart was taken away Rob yeah a brutal loss I I get it but by the way you are paid Millions upon millions of dollars to be a leader and a leader of young men and and and I think coach Kelly when he listens back to it and I know he's listened back to it already he's like ahit that's not the way I meant it that was a compliment to the opposing quarterback right that was a compliment like that kid at UFC played his tail off I know he didn't mean it as a shot at his own player there's no way he could have meant it if he did he should be gone right now but there's no way he meant it that way you know let let me point this out too we live in a society where now we're on a podcast talking we move on I mean he he made a mistake and you know we can't I I will never do that uh to start beating people up where someone makes a mistake he'll handle it he'll hug him up and say I know Brian Kelly and and you know I'm sure there's other podcasts will just destroy people for we're I I won't do that made a mistake hug him up and move on go get the next one you played your ass off third consecutive season guys LSU starts 0 and one under Kelly let's pivot to another big game and I I think this was a bit of an upset Notre Dame taking down Texas A&M by 10 at Kyle Field um you know all those injuries coach on the offensive line Riley Leonard you know making the transition from duke to Notre Dame had timely plays in his debut 158 yards through the air ran it as well 12 times for 63 yards including three times he got a first down with his legs and noted AIM now favored in all of their remaining games and that includes home to FSU and early November which by the way that FSU thing just kind of keeps pluming we'll talk more about that in a second but remember Notre Dame closes at USC November 30th so we we'll see if Notre Dame is still favored in in that one but your your big takeaway from what Notre Dame was able to do in a real hostile environment Mark hey Rob I think I I was the one who thought A&M was going to be the Victor in this game and Coach Freeman did a such a tremendous job of preparing this team to go in and not be scared not be worried about the hostile environment I don't know if you saw him coming out of the tunnel jacking up his players but he was he had the right energy he had the right attitude and that resonated with the players you talk about there um you talk about Texas A&M's defensive line which is the strength of their team they neutralized them they protected Riley Leonard Riley Leonard made the right decisions the right throws Jeremiah Love make key runs big name remember that name Jeremiah love the running back and you gonna love Jeremiah love if you watch him tote to rock so I'm telling you man I'm just so impressed with this Notre Dame team they played very well offensively they played very well defensively Conor wigman they had him struggling he was like 12 for 30 so this team just from top to bottom I just want to commend them they did a great job had a big victory in a hostile environment against Texas A&M and the coach coach Freeman man he had that team ready to play so big shout out to the to the Fighting Irish hey Mark you you pointed out something I want to hit really hard here Marcus Freeman was G not was uh given the job at Notre day uh first first head coaching job as at Notre Dame think about that for a minute arguably know most prestigious program in college football history here's a guy that really didn't have a background other than calling defenses they made the right decision they hired him but do you remember that first year the look in his eye a few times I actually called him uh they had a tough loss and I because I've been there m brown was kind of my mentor when I was a young coach and I called him out of blue I've known him but not that well and I said Marcus you know hanging it we had we had some great conversations that's a different man right now than it was two three years ago when he first took over the job that that was not fake when you walk into A&M there's over 100,000 people there that's a real environment against a real team you know where the players looking at you him your head coach him or you know the leaders of the team but you are the leader of the team Y and he did not have that confident look that he had it's now when you when you saw I think they lost a marshall or something like that several years ago he's got the real look and you want to know something they Nutt it up and they got it done in the fourth quarter I I can't say enough about Marcus Freeman that's a real team a very young team offensive line is very young uh I want to hit one other thing and I want to get Mark's opinion on this the art of complimentary football is something that I've studied my entire career it's something that young coaches often eror at it's something often that play calling coaches eror at they're so worried about their own statistics at a certain side of the ball that they're not playing cop and Mary football and I'm going to bring this up on big noon so every game in the big ones I would walk over to the offensive and defensive lineman in that first quarter and I'd go look at their eye and if I trusted them and even the coach I say can we block them for the offens alignment because they know now by now you know after those first two series they know if they're over their head same as a defense lineman Mark I can look in the D lineman's eyes saying hey can you handle these guys up front right and that sent the tempo for game management the rest of the day if we felt like we can control you did some things more conservatively and I got to compliment Marcus Freeman he played complimentary football he has a new quarterback he has five I think uh five offensive linemen have three or four total starts Brady Quinn told us so it's a very young offense you know what he did he played to their strengths their defense was all over A&M their quarterback was struggling you know what Marcus Freeman did he hung in there he didn't panic I thought it was it was when you write a book called complim football go watch that game yes sir they played off each other they weren't stupid he could have made some mistakes Marcus Freeman did not and I I think people do not talk about complimentary football enough that coaching staff uh did an excellent obviously the players were phenomenal but don't devalue complimentary football that's what won that game at A&M yes sir quick take on Texas A&M I would argue that they have been the most over value team over the course of the last couple Seasons talk about the recruiting classes top 20 recruiting classes 13 straight years top 10 classes four of the last six years that includes that number one class just a couple years ago they have not posted guys a 10- win season since Johnny Manzel's days back in 2012 they've lost six straight games to ranked opponents I I know that this was game number one under new head coach Mike Elco but the Millions and millions of dollars that these donors have invested into Texas A&M and the lofty preseason rankings that have follow them and have really been gifted to them no team in America has under produced more as of late than Texas A&M one of my great coaches friends one of my great friends and coaching coach there and said first of all you got the best high school football within a 4-Hour circle of your of your city of your University and second there is nothing you don't have the donors the boosters the alumni the money that fls through that program it's zero they they they're not in need of anything you know most places say hey we need this we need this we need this you know Ohio State right now they're talking about the need new facility which I do A&M no everything's there that's Enigma to me I don't understand why that's not a top five job every year I don't get it either I don't get I think Mike Elco is going to get it right down there though he's a great head coach and you know it's his first time like you said right but I'm a big fan of Mike Elco I think he's going to get it done down there well we'll give him time but but the recent history has been uh to quote coach awful has awful in col station unacceptable how about that even better women live men live numbers don't Penn State where we were uh for that West Virginia game on big noon kickoff they take down WVU after that long weather delay at halftime 34-12 was the final the big conversation coach about Penn State was their offense last year conservative they bring in a new offensive coordinator and they were not afraid to be um more creative and more willing to take big shots and we saw that big time in week one from the nany Lions yeah we talked about the higher at USC Danton Lyn the D cordinator I'd put Andy Colton that key up there as well as higher of the year it's a complete change in what uh uh what we saw year ago and the biggest thing is they're they're committed to throw the ball down the field we saw that he's going to run option football he's going to throw the ball downfield he's going to do Wildcat offense we saw all three Drew Aller I was very concerned about him I still am I you know it's one game but I'll tell you what I actually picked West Virginia I was wrong you know and that has that the impact on offense it looked like a different deal to me Mark yeah I I picked Penn State and I thought that I like Penn State because of the OC Andy cotal Nikki and what we saw from him at Kansas last year I knew that's what Penn State needed to get over the hump and we saw that early in the first half he was taking shots down the field they they were running the football he had KRON Allen coming out of the back field running option routs we see even Drew Aller make some extra plays extending the plays with his legs I I heard Joel clatt and Gus Johnson talk about he was sneaky athletic out there you know we never put that with Drew Aller so I'm like this Penn State's offense is looking a little different obviously it's one game it's versus West Virginia yeah but for right now I like what I'm seeing from this Penn State offense and if they continue at this trajectory they will be a tough team in the big one thing to add Rob real quick is is that uh Nick Singleton longest run from scrimmage I think was 19 or 20 yards a year ago he had a 50 yard or 40 or 50 yard hit and that was a result of a soft secondary because throwing the ball downfield yeah yeah these there's some fascinating big play numbers around Penn State number one Drew Aller arguably his best game last season came against West Virginia it was his only 300 yard passing game right so a little bit of of put on the breaks that Drew Aller is there maybe he's just a dude who's really good against West Virginia but Penn State they had four plays of 40 plus yards last week all of last season they had only eight plays gain 40 or more yards Penn State they had two plays of 50 or more yards last week on the road to Morgantown all of last season they only had six plays so they're clearly showing that they want to and that they have the ability to go bigger and that's going to change the Dynamics that's going to change their perspective on Penn State going forward what has happened to college football in the State of Florida cuz right now the sunshine state is run by the U it is run by cam Ward Miami goes up to the swamp humidity in the 70% temperatures in the 90% and it was a Beatdown the youu 41-7 cam Ward hello Heisman conversation 21-35 385 Mark and three touchdowns the man is the real deal and that's who they needed down there at the University of Miami they need needed a quarterback that needed a ball player he comes with the Swagger he comes with the demeanor he comes with the execution you talk about throwing the ball he's a talented as an arm Talent as anyone in the country you talk about running the ball maneuvering the pocket extending plays scrambling he did it all for this team and he had to Swagger the demeanor in the leadership that this team has been looking for and quite frankly the youu held an official visit at Florida's campus at Florida Stadium they held so good oh wait hold on take take a take a listen to this is [Applause] amazing Miami better come Miami to the to the [Applause] you so those that are listening and not watching it on YouTube right that is post game that is Miami players walking through one of the endzone areas where all the Florida game day recruits were and they're telling them don't come here come to us we were the youu is back hey baby the U is back to their smack talking camo wearing South Beach Swagger ways um I'm listen we've got enough Bland stars wearing those white hats out there give me more of these anti-heroes who aren't afraid to Da the black hat hear the booze lean into it college football is a better place when the you is sitting there stirring that pot and leaning in to being a heel and by the way the way Florida has looked lately I don't know if Miami wants any of those recruits right Miami's doing just fine with their recruits I don't know if they need Florida recruits right now the intensity the I'm sorry Mark the intensity of that recruiting I lived it for six years uh every player you get on the phone with every player you go see it's it comes down to you and the youu and and that's really the way and Florida State obviously but that's the way it should be and I mean I have a vested interest in Florida that's painful to watch that um but I'll tell you what cam Ward that is to me recruit of the year I think he instantly transformed I think he's that good Mark I went back and watched it he's that good he is and I saw him coming out of I think it was Washington State last year and he was the number one transfer portal quarterback coming out and I remember teams are all over him Mario chrisal got the recruit of the year he did with Cam WS but coach you talk about salt in the wound like I played Florida that's not the Florida that I know you know what I mean you talk about salt in the wounds you go out there in the swamp whoop them 4117 and then while you're exiting the field you're recruiting their recruits like hey don't come here don't go here come to us come to the you like that is salt in the wounds right there coach like you know how aggressive is you spoke on how aggressive that recruiting is in the State of Florida and for that to happen man you know those recruits are going home like hey M hey Dad hey partner I don't know if we going go to Florida yeah can I want I want to hit Florida real quick with you coach um according to one analytics uh session out there Florida is favored to win one one of the remaining 11 games and that's against Samford the that's that's this we're talking Insanity right now in Gainesville what's what's that pressure cooker like right now in Gainesville this week gainesville's a it's it's a tough tough job I mean it's a great job it's one of the top five jobs in the country you got everything you need you got recruiting base that's second to none and you got a a great Stadium you got a great fan base you got a great student body you got it all um but I'll tell you what Gainesville is a tough town to live in when you're the coach at Florida it really is and I love Gainesville was great my wife really loved it but I just I never really left the house because I just it it feels like it's caving on in on you it's a small town and there's very strong opinions there uh it's a great place but it's a very tough place to be when you don't end up on the right side of the wind column not a fun time in Gainesville for Co company right now let's pivot to Atlanta number one Georgia look like the number one team in the land they dominated Clemson 34-3 the Tigers they had two two offensive plays in Georgia territory in the first half we we'll get to what Clemson is right now but coach uh what did you see from from Georgia and their opening Conquest uh they're they're the best team in the country right now until you take it from them and uh I know the Wolverines did last year and Alabama did but right now I just I think Ohio State's going to be a run at the end but I think right now Georgia is they got the a great quarterback they got a great program I'm going to say this though before we move on to don't give up on Clemson I know everybody's beaten a mess out of them and probably deservedly so that game was even at halftime and if they get more offensive production which they they need to and I think they will so they have talent on the field I know that they uh we say that the time has passed on by a little but as far as transfer portals he has to adapt I think that's a given I love the term a weakness stays a weakness unless you hit the transfer portal that that's a truth so I think Georgia's a real deal but I think at the end of the day Mark I went through Clemson schedule this morning I think Clon is going to make the playoff listen coach you said as wait wait who whoa Co Clemson's going to make the playoffs by winning the ACC or no they'll lose one more game no I think they'll be one of the top 12 teams in the country you know you lose game one against the number one team in the country it's even at halftime you come back you got good enough players if he keeps that go look at their schedule you tell me who is a better team than Clemson I'll say I don't think there's any well their schedu is cuz they're in the ACC but you know what I mean but yeah they got let's look Stanford Florida State Wake Forest Virginia Louisville Virginia Tech pit The Citadel South Carolina yeah they might you're right coach they could possibly be in the playoff cuz they ain't got nobody on there but coach you say they was have they was even at halftime but it is a fourth quarter game and in that second half they whooped that tail no but uh georia Georgia is just a different Beast right now like they've only lost two games in the last three seasons to Alabama and they have the quarterback and Carson Beck showed what he could do he was 23 and 33 for 278 yards and two TDS the running game was good and they missing two of their two of their top back two of their top running backs in the back field the defense Rob mentioned two snaps in in in in the in in uh Georgia territory in the first half this team is poised to go to distance Kirby Smart has the recipe the way they're recruiting the way they're playing compliment complimentary football which you mentioned earlier coach offense defense special teams field position this team has what it takes to go to distance man and they are the best team in the country right now and Kirby Smart is doing a great job with this Georgia team and Y they're scary man they have a tough schedule they have a tough schedule they got to go to BMA they got to handle that that Gauntlet the a little different than kson schedule Mark yeah a lot different have different they don't have the Citadel on that thing you know what I mean but uh the Citadel The Citadel The Citadel but you look at the ACC I just want to hold that thought from an ACC with Florida State looking like they do now uh NC State's always a tough team Pit's a tough team Virginia Tech no they you know they lost to vanderbild I believe I mean you tell me I'm looking at this I say Carolina starting quarterback is out for the year they're not going to lose another game coach they're not going to lose another game like you're right look at the schedule yeah they're they'll be standing at the end and again it was against the number one team in the country right like you do need to put the breaks on that how however if we're talking Clemson right now and they were at one point sitting there at the top of the mountain and they clearly have fallen dbos Sweeney last 15 games versus Power five teams he's just eight and seven and that's your Saucy nug of the week try some at your nearest Wendy's the other thing about Clemson and you guys touched on it the transfer portal they have not started a transfer since the portal opened they've got a great campus a passionate fan base resource is everywhere if I'm a Clemson fan I'm saying we deserve more than a coach who's content to um be old school right mow his lawn and his socks and his sandals dabo's got to catch up to the time he he is doing this program I I believe a real disservice right now and if he does not change in the off season those major donors coach the school bigwigs they're going to send him over to zip recruiter and say hey you need to update your resume and start looking for a new gig because this is not working out and I am stunned that a man of his intellect and a man who has seen success has really refused coach to adapt to the times and embrace just some element of the transfer portal I'm not saying you have to be the transfer King I'm not even saying you have to be the transfer um I don't know you don't he got to be the portal he ain't got to be the portal King right just you have to embrace it or I I think the pressure well once again I think they're going to win every game so I mean I wonder if you know he just looks at it and I know Dabo well and he's like you say smart coach he's one of the you know future Hall of Fame coach yeah uh but whether you like it or not I do believe you have to you're looking at the teams that do and I again I just in my mind when I think transferal portal I don't love it either but a weakness remains Mark a weakness weakness if you have a weakness what's your job as a staff fix a weakness yes nobody loves the poor I don't think unless unless you're the portal King like Lane down there in Old Miss you know what I mean he love the portal but no like you have to learn to adapt people are poaching your players your best players from the roster so why don't you go and replace you know a weakness that you have with a strength look what Miami just did with Cam Ward you get a player like that in your program it changed the whole it Chang the trajectory of the whole entire program so dbo has been successful he's been a winner I'm a fan of dbo he's a Alabama guy you know what I mean but it is time to adapt to the times because you have to learn how to adapt or you will get left behind and like you said Rob they mess around don't make the playoffs they mess around and drop a couple more on that schedule these play people in Clemson are going to turn on him so it's time to get with the times dbo I love you dog but open up that portal my friend coming up next on the triple option former Texas Legend quarterback Colt McCoy joins the show [Music] you've had Wendy's nugs dipped in sauce right

Legend Colt McCoy joins us right now col man you see Mark Ingram and you hear Alabama do you just like kind of start shaking right now like bad vibes or maybe maybe there's some good memories out there oh man yeah that was that was a tough game you know but uh Mark Ingram is one of my good buddies he's one of the best in the business um um he he's he's the man and I knew going into the Heisman in 2009 that I wasn't going to win it and so if I wasn't going to win it I was hoping to Mark wi it and he did hey Stoner Man why you coming in here trying to create this animosity between me and my brother from another you know see I got a Heisman I got a Heisman behind me this week so now I got like this extra Heisman swager it's not yours there's a lot ofan I speak on behalf of the country that's not yours man but no man Co is the man and uh he thought he was going to win I thought I was going to win it cuz I went to the ESP pen Awards and didn't win one award at least you won some player of the years I didn't win the dop anything I'm like how am I going to go to the Heisman and win the Heisman Trophy when I didn't win one single award at the ESPN award so we were both nervous we both thought we weren't going to win it but you the man and I appreciate you man you always been a first class dude top not individual both on and off the field family and all man so respect is mutual the love is mutual and you my dude too there we go love that love that Co what are your thoughts on Texas this season heading into this huge showdown in Michigan at the big house you know I think Texas has a great team um you know if there was ever a time for them to make a move to a conference like the SEC I mean this this would be the year to do it right the quarterback room is is really really topnotch um I think their offensive line is one of the best in the country a lot of returning guys um they they get a lot of push up front I watched a little bit of their game last week and I I just I think when you move to a conference like the SEC like having that interior play uh be you know really solid and and and have some experience in there goes a long way so um I know they got some tough games coming up especially this week at at Michigan but I think they're they're very well coached and and disciplined and and uh are are excited about this year hey Colt uh you were the backup to Vince Young when you won the national title you see this incredibly talented Arch Manning behind Quinn yers and I I went and watched it this morning before I talk him man is he good I I heard Rumblings that he was like overrated or something last year he is not I mean he looked really really good so in this era of people transferring leaving here you are you you understudied Vince Young here is Arch Manny understudy Quin yers what's your thoughts on the progression of understudy then becoming the starter yeah look I mean I don't I I think Arch Manning is is the real deal right I've spent some time with him uh obviously he's got the last name the pedigree all those things but the the kid works really really hard he's really smart um and I think you know it's it's a a credit to him for sticking around and and red shirting and and uh you know really kind of buying his time to to be the starter at Texas I mean I look at some of these games from last weekend right Miller m the nus me kid I mean if you're if you're a a quarterback in college and you know I I would say stay where you are like wait your time learn and grow and like the red shirt year that I had behind Vince like first of all I was not nearly high rated as as Arch nobody knew who I was but the red shirt year was the best thing that ever happened to me I was able to just really learn the system you know I spent a lot of time in the waight room I I was played a bunch of sports in high school so I really wasn't ready for um a full year of college football and that year helped me a ton and uh I just I just look at the quarterbacks that performed the best week one and you know across the board it seems like those are the guys that kind of waited their time like learned the system got coached up and they stepped in there and and played really good and and Quinn Quinn's great too right Quinn's third year in the system playing at a high level and and uh I just I just think that that you know if you're a high school quarterback across the country or or or a recruit or somebody who's kind of stuck in a situation like maybe best option is to stick it out cuz all you really need to go out there is is play pretty good for a year and you got a chance yeah so um we talked about Texas moving to the SEC what were your initial thoughts when you heard that Texas was going to leave the Big 12 and move to the SEC and how do you think this sets this program up moving forward yeah I mean I heard I heard like rumors Rumblings about you know us changing conferences and I think I just think that our athletic director and and you know our Board of region and kind of the state of college football I think they were a little bit ahead of the game and um you know them in Oklahoma being able to move to the SEC I think kind of started the trend of all the sort of the mega conferences right you know maybe they had in some intuition it was going to be this way um because they they announced it like two three years ago right that they were going to do this right so they were heading the curve yeah I I think that's right and I think you know the biggest thing for me why I'm excited about the SEC is that you know just looking at the Texas program right been involved there love love our school we get to play all of our old rivalries right we get to keep the Oklahoma game playing the cotton ball we get A&M back that's a that's a huge game for our state it's a ton of fun and then you get the old Southwest Conference rival with with Arkansas back and you get to play those guys every year and you know to me now a fan of Texas football like that's that's a big deal it's going to be a ton of fun to watch Tex Arcana you know what I mean yeah they used to say like they used to say when we would go into Arkansas to play they would put the Texas flag right there in Texar canas on 35 so everybody had to like drive over the Texas flag I mean it's it's an old bit of rivalry for sure okay okay I like it Cole you just moved to Fort Worth uh try to describe the visuals that you're looking at Beyond this screen Beyond this camera and this interview all right yeah I was giving Mark a hard time I told Mark you know he can come stay in the guest house we could do a little fishing a little hunting when if I'm looking through this screen I'm looking out at the deer feeder that I set out there about 100 yards out there there's it's a little rainy today a little foggy but there's several deer out there right now give us a quick head count how how many animals what animals we looking at I actually have about 10 deer bed down around the feeder they're just W off again um they're spoiled over here man it's Mark City Mark a city boy what to do you must tun in big in his hands in West Virginia he had no idea what he was doing you must ain't seen me on big I was the ghetto fabulous musketeer I mean the mountain near I'll come out there with my musket H give me one of them deers or them turkeys you know what I mean got to twist my arm if you come out here you got to work we hauled hay a couple days ago so we still got some round Bells out there who whoa whoa nobody said anything about hauling hay wait a second you said it was a vacation you said guest room you said hanging out shooting deer I'll always Swindle I'll always Swindle you into doing a little bit of work around the a little bass fishing you know what I mean something I I I I'll roll a barrel ahe for you one BCS era national champ uh you played in a championship game uh we were part of the 14 playoff Now it's 12 what's your thoughts on the expanded uh 12 team playoff I think it's awesome I think um right I think there's going to be a lot of teams that have a chance to get in I think there'll be a couple teams that you know win their conference that have a chance to also also get into this 12 team playoff and then the fact that like the first the first games are are are home situations based on your on your seating your ranking um I think it's going to be incredible I think it's great for college football I think you ultimately get you know a fair shake and and competition into who's going to be the national champion and and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if somebody gets hot late in the year maybe they have an injury lose a game or two early but kind of be able to do enough to jump into the playoff and get hot and and maybe come out out on top so I think it's going to be really fun to watch and great for college football what do you think about those boys from the south that might it get stuck in an arbor Columbus Ohio or South band in December yeah no that's that's uh that's tough but I mean look like I love college football you know I had some opportunities to to to broadcast some games and um just just the fact that I get to go back to to college ball and watch I mean I I played 14 years but you know every Saturday night was kind of my favorite favorite time was to to to watch all these games and and uh I'm excited about Texas Oklahoma go to the SEC I think there's some great matchups I think there's also some really good matchups in the Big 10 which is most of the games that that I'm going to be calling on NBC so uh man I'm just a huge college football fan and kind of excited about this yeah and you spoke about it man you just retired 14 years congratulations you are legendary you defied all the odds 14 years blessings blessings blessings to my dog now you transferring to the broadcast booth going to be part of NBC The Big 10 coverage what has what are you feeling like man are you are you a little nervous is it like the first time you going to to a game in the NFL or like how you feeling right now man cuz I just did it last year and now you doing it this year so blessings and health and wealth to you and much success but how you feeling right now man yeah I know I I've got a big game this week in Nebraska uh Colorado game in Lincoln um two two really good teams right you know you I've watched shadur Sanders the last couple days and all those weapons he's throwing to they are they are deadly um he's got a great feel for for their offense you know he's got four years of experience in college um but they're going into a pretty hostile environment uh and you know on on the flip side Nebraska's you know uh Dominic R not Dominic that's his dad Dylan Rola uh is is is a gunslinger right he he he's got some new targets through the transfer portal their offensive line I think has like over 250 starts combined U couple good running backs so I I think it's going to be a a really good matchup and a fun time and kind of getting thrown out there in prime time we'll see how it goes that boy season did you hear him already Stoner that boy he seasoned a veteran already he learned it from Papa learned it from all his relatives man come on man that boy coat man he a true professional man he's one of those guys speaking of that colt you're you're in this Brave New World and when we have a guest with us on uh the show we'd like to kind of conclude with offering them the opportunity to ask us a question so the three of us is there anything lurking out there in the back of your brain that you want to know from us yeah I mean if if I'm I'm going to speak to my boy Mark I mean we've been we've been real cordial today but I mean you know s things happen in games right Alabama Texas I mean what what was it's always like what would have happened I mean what would have happened mark oh oh I can't what would happen is we still would be in the same position we are today it's much love and you know what I mean but when when you went down we had a we had a plan for you you know what I mean we studi tape we had a plan for you when you went down it threw a rich in our little all right what would happened all right Colt what would have happened I mean I just I think we would have scored some points I think you know Mark probably wouldn't got as much touches CU they'd have to spread them out and throw the ball and I you know know I we felt pretty good going in that game too I mean I you know bottom line you got the that bottom line you get a big ring I wish I'm happy for Mark if there was anybody that was gonna come out on top you know Mark had a a heck of a career and then transfer translated that into the NFL played a lot of lot of football a lot of good teams I mean you know every week when we were playing teams that Mark was on you knew he was going to get about 15 or 20 carries and you better fuckle up right you got they're going to keep the ball they were going to uh run the clock right you knew as a quarterback you know playing against them whatever team Mark was on you're going to have to score score points and score them that thing keep to that thing hey coach but we always talk about those like 0809 Florida teams and the and when we went and played them the amount of NFL talent that was on the field it was just insane like the football was just real football back then like it was real college football the amount of players that we played against each other in that the game before in the SC Championship the same amount of NFL players were on that team us vers Texas man so we knew that like we had to come with it because they had guys on offense they had guys on defense they had Co who can was a gunslinger putting up a lot of points and we was just able to be the best team that day you know what I mean so I don't know I don't know you know Co was trying to do Co was trying to do his thing you know I mean I mean Marcel Darius at the time was a back you guys were loading man I mean anybody on the field just you know they they were they were all going to make make it to the NFL he's the one to hit you right and he want to hit you right the back yeah yeah what was it co it was like an option play like a little option you was yeah we called we called option to the left the ni you know Sav blitzed the nickel off the edge and took the back away so I had to like kind of duck it up in there and as soon as I kind of put my foot down I just they collided with me on it just caught me the it wasn't like a crazy hit just caught me the right way folded me and just my whole right side just went completely numb and I mean to be fully honest like I've dealt with that injury my whole career it's something that I've had to like stay on top of you know still if I sleep wrong it's like same deal so I'm reminded of that all the time Mr Mark well we I love you bro and I'll come out there to the farm I'll go bass fishing with you I'll go get some of them turkeys you got we we family dog you know we ain't going to let the little the little small bump in the road you know hinder our relationship we Brothers you know no I mean I I mean looking back like that kind of started the the Alabama run right like that was the first of of several national championships and I just hate that it had to be us man hate just hey to make you feel better it started with the guy next to you coach Meyer it started with him they started the dynasty we got them back and then we went and got y'all so the momentum started when we got them so I won't let you take full advantage I'm going to give that to him didn't realize Alabama was so generous m brown is such a good friend we used to always dream about getting each other in a national title and you guys woned I believe 05 we got 06 LSU got 07 we got 08 and then uh the the tide went on their run yes sir from 09 on that was that was good times in college football man magical era man real football real football ain't none of that Rudy poo stuff none of that targeting stuff getting ejected you know it was real football if you go acoss that middle you better know how to get down or your quarterback better not throw you into a collision like it was real deal it wasn't no falling on a quarterback personal foul penalties no it was real deal Holyfield what you going to do no doubt no doubt to that to that point Cole where is college football better and maybe where has it taken a step back compared to your playing days yeah that's that's a great question I mean look I you know I don't want to be one of those old guys me and Mark talking about how good it was back then but you look at you look at you know the you know when I was in college man like there was I think there was seven teams in the top 15 from the Big 12 and so it was it was a grind all those teams were good and the SEC was really good the Florida the Alabam right uh every every week I would watch all these teams that maybe we would get matched up to you know in the in the bowl games and and back then it was based off the BCS right so you were leaving it up to a a Bas basically a point system right we got beat out by we beat Oklahoma my my uh junior year and Missouri and got beat out by both of them because we lost a tech on a last minute play by like 01 points right he left it up to committee I think the state of college football is a whole lot better with the playoff and now with the 12 team playoff like I would love to be in college football right now and be able to have the chance of like hey look we're going through a season we win our conference or if we we battle through these games and maybe maybe come out 11 and one or whatever we're going to we're getting to the playoff when we get to the playoff it's it's it's everything right like let's let's go and and may the best man win and so I think just the state of that I think you know back then can you imagine if we would have had a a a play a four team playoff or 12 team playoff there was some ridiculous teams and those whole matchups would have been wild and and really the you know the best team would ultimately come out on top at the end and so I think I think just the playoff system alone is is very beneficial for for college and and these teams where's it gotten worse where's it gotten worse I mean I think I think for me it's just looking at the the the transfer portal in the nil you know you look you look across the a game and you know there's guys that have transferred three or four times and then those guys jump into the NFL and they they've moved around four or five times and it's just like you know that I I just hope that somehow I know you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube but I just hope somehow we can keep the integrity and the sanctity of college football it's it's the best in the world right the fan bases the Traditions the histories like I I hope that like that that doesn't change and you know I think I think so far we're okay but I I just want to make sure that there's uh just some rules in play that like hey let's let's keep the the traditions and the and the sanctity of this sport as best as we can prediction time Texas Michigan big house Saturday who's winning I mean look I was I I went to Michigan last week I I had like a did a little bit of the broadcast Michigan Fresno State I think I think they're they're a little bit shaky on offense right you know I'm sure their quarterbacks will come along with that was their first experience both of them I thought Davis Warren did a pretty nice job look I if we can shut down their tight end coulston Loveland he's he's won a heck of a player he may be the best tight in in the country um you know and score some points right I think I think Texas comes out on top I know their defense is good they're well coached wink Martell coming in from the NFL from the Giants Ravens right he he he has a great scheme he's got a really good defensive line um but you know I think I think Texas is poised to go in there and win and and uh I would take I would take them for sure all right one last prediction cuz we do a deuce Duce dog of the week on the podcast and you go to cover my dog of the week do you think Colorado can go into Nebraska and get the outright upset do you think this is possible Mark hasn't made his pick yet so he's using this as some Insider information yeah all well from a guy who is as well vers as you are I heard you giving me the Scout report of the game so I'm like I need a little you know a little little something for my boy co yeah look I think I think Nebraska is much improved right you look at I watched their game last year Colorado beat him handily right I think they beat him like 35 to 7 36 to7 something like that right really was a game Nebraska had no offense I think I think Nebraska's offense is is Big Time improved um they're they're they run a good system they they're committed to the Run they got two good backs it'll transfer from Oregon's good their offensive line is good but I I mean the thing is like you can't play Man coverage against Colorado right they have they have two or three guys out there that are going to going to be Playmakers in the NFL on Sundays there's no doub Jimmy horn Andis Hunter if it gets into a shootout you can't pick you can't go against Colorado right but but you look at it's a Prime Time game you know it's it's Colorado's on the road it'll be be pretty rowdy crowd Colt McCoy hey

marking Urban Meer Rob Stone back here with you in honor of week one and finally playing off that tease that I dropped in the beginning of the show we wanted to talk about the most intimidating stadiums to enter we're not talking about playing not talking about playing we're talking about entering all right the the walk into the locker room or the walk from the locker room to the field so coach I know you've got a couple that that are high on your list he's already shaking his head right now Mark what's like the term awful is the term I like to say it was awful and the worst one ever Mark is 2007 we were defending national champs and we come rolling into LSU which by the way is the most ridiculous in atmosphere I have that on Penn State as the mo I mean just absolutely ridiculous I remember the old lady she's in a walker and she's walking and uh as our buses come by she like stops and takes her hands off the Walker and then you know I'm not just bang dou bird the double bird staring right at me I I mean I was like what in the hell and then as we entered the stadium in 2007 I mean if they put the fans it's uh the fans are not but it's a maybe a 10 foot wide walkway as you walk in that damn Stadium a small narrow Corridor nasty and I mean just I mean saying things and I mean mean looking and and this one guy just yelling staring right at me and he's right off to my left and I have two police officers with me as I'm walking in there and our players you know we we kind of warn them to stay away from that nonsense and one guy's holding a cup and as I get closer to him and I we make eye contact and he's just screaming I mean I wanted to to take a swing at the guy but right then he takes and he dumps this on me and I thought it was a beer and I drop my bags and I go after him and a cop One Cop grabs me and the other cop kind of goes after him but he can't it's a chain link fence and he just disappears right behind it and the player saw it and we go in and I mean I was so I lost my mind in it and I'm like wait a minute I thought that was beer mark it didn't smell like beer it was warm and yellow though and so I had to jump in look at Mark so I had to jump and take a quick shower and we get out the locker room was Insanity you know Dan Mullen was my offensive coordinator the TBO was on that team the players lost their mind spikes and everybody and we put up it was a great game they went for it on H five fourth downs and a fourth cour ended up winning a national championship but that was the worst I I I can agree with you coach I didn't get the I didn't get DS with the urine but I know for a fact we came in on them buses and and it was just fans on both sides they was rocking the bus I'm I'm I'm a freshman I I'm a freshman this my first time going there night game at LSU coach sa's first game back at LSU and we driving on the bus they just rocking the bus I'm like o this thing got some good hydraulics on it don't it then we get out they got they got like a scare they got like a scarecrow witch craft voodoo doll thing a Cove and I'm like what's going on out here like and then Mike the Tiger yes and then I'm coming out of the locker room I'm like yeah oh yeah it's time it's time then all of a sudden I just a whole tiger right here to the left of me jumping up hitting the fence I'm like is this even legal like what happens this tiger right here bro I'm out here in my zone tiger didn't threw me off my zone Mike the Tiger whatever his name is but no lis you man is one of the most hectic places to play that environment is crazy to fans I you never had a you never had a cup thrown on you no no no no sir coach did did they ever catch the urine thrower no he disappeared behind the chaining fence he yeah he he VAP he vaporized witchcraft I'm telling you some voodo stuff going on was it was it bright uh nonhydrated yellow or was it a little little water down clear I'd nudge you I'd take a swing at you right now if you were right next to each can you that was a younger version of me I mean it was Insanity he said coach he was trying to get at him oh I he was right there right to my left and the cop hey the funniest one is the 80-year-old lady in the Walker supporting herself doesn't use her walker no more and gives you the hum double not the same it wasn't and it wasn't at the bus it was at me and me right in the eye and I mean but I'm telling you right now man I played in New Orleans and a lot of those fans are the same the same Tigers fans are the same Saints fans and those fans they don't play about their Tigers they don't play about their Saints man they go hard for them so I did appreciate that fan base cuz they were my fans when I was in New Orleans but when when you not a tiger you don't you don't appreciate them too much I tell you that can we move on from the topic of urine in football are we good with that no let's move on please let's pivot all right pick six brought to you by bet MGM place your moneyline prop parlay and same game parlay bets at bet MGM download the app today and as always please gamble responsibly again each weeks we're going to pick six games against the spread Mark over there he's got his deuce deuce dog of the week one of his picks will be the underdog that he thinks will outright win reminder to everyone listening these lines are current as of Tuesday so obviously they can change let's start with the big one in the big house Texas is a 7 and a half Point favorite coach at Michigan the line opened at three and a half three and a half so a four-point movement now to seven and a half there's four rosters right now that look different to me as the season progresses and we're diving into it it's Georgia Ohio state Alabama and of course Texas it's just five-star athletes every basically every position uh they utilize a portal you know the Wolverines lost 18 to 22 stor we're going to be there big noon is going to be there it's a three- hour show we got my friend Charles Woodson we got everybody going uh the Wolverine's got a real dilemma quarterback and we're going to talk about that on big noon and that is do you go one system or two quarterback system lot of risk but a lot of risk in going with one if you don't think he's the guy so I like Texas to cover the spread I think it'll be a absolute street fight early in the game just because of the atmosphere because of you know you're just at you're playing in Arbor and the wolverines wolverines defense is legit but I think at the end of the day that the Wolverines will not be able to have enough offense to slow down to get Texas off the field and Texas would be on the field far too long all right we're going to Pivot to Mark Arkansas at Oklahoma State in Still Water the Cowboys favored by seven and a half and marks 60% of all the bets though are on the road team Arkansas ooo hey and I think 60% of the bets are on the road team because of their quarterback ton green green he is a beast 66 230 lbs he could throw it he could run it he will be a problem for this Oklahoma State team but going to Oklahoma State they have one of the my favorite players in the country and Ali Gordon the running back I think he'll be the difference in this game I think he is a Bonafide top pick for a running back coming out in the next uh in the next NFL draft he's the real deal man if you want to see some great talent from the running back position go watch Oklahoma State and watch Ali Gordon the third oi Gordon the second just like your boy Mark Ingram the second but no uh now he's special and I got Oklahoma State at home in a close one versus Arkansas all right Arkansas pounded Arkansas Little Bluff over the weekend uh it is shawk trophy time guys Iowa State at Iowa and the home team the Hawkeyes favored by two and a half how poor was the offense in Iowa last year well it was 234. 6 yards per game poor that is dead last nationally seven times Iowa had 15 points or less three times they were shut out including their last two games of the season in comes a new offensive coordinator Tim Lester and according to my sources they are currently building a statue for him in downtown Iowa City because Saturday against FCF side Illinois State it was their best offensive day guys in nearly five full years Iowa 492 yards of offense 40 points Kade mcnamer coming off that injury was Rusty in the beginning finished with 251 and three touchdowns Iowa they've dominated this series of late they've won eight of the last 10 it is typically a tight one though the last six meetings have been decided by 10 or fewer but right now I am a Hawkeye believer I am believing in the Iowa offense it only takes one game to win me over they're at home and I see Iowa covering uh Kansas at Illinois and The Jayhawks five and a half Point favorite Saturday night that one live on FS1 a little Big 10 Big 12 Showdown last year in Lawrence The Jayhawks they won by 11 courtesy guys speaking of offense 539 yards of Kansas offense both of these teams won in week one by 45 points the elii Brett be company I think they're rapidly improving uh they're a better team than they were the last couple years but they can still be little hit and miss on D little hit and miss at quarterback for Kansas though how about the job Lance lipold and his staff are doing right there in Lawrence I don't think it's getting enough attention I don't think they're getting enough credit nationally 84% of all the bets are on Kansas the ranked Jayhawks I love saying that the ranked Kansas Jayhawks continue their rise up the rankings they get the win and they get the cover Kansas is a football scho let they're more than just Hoops baby more than just Hoops Tennessee at NC State 70% of the money coaches on the balls who are favored in Raleigh by seven and a half real quick NC State uh a really good coach they Dorne and really very tough place to play however I went back and watched Tennessee and they have a quarterback that I called Matt leinard and Brady Quinn this morning after watching this thing his name's Nico e Mala colono that's my old po that's your old Polynesian background I old poian and you coming out I'm telling you this now Mark and I just I watched the whole and it's Tennessee Chattanooga so they were overmatched the opponent they play I mean they they were so much better but this guy is far as a body type to stand there athletically and throw the ball the ball came out like a missile he was a five-star product coming out of high school I asked this question is he a top 10 pick in the NFL draft to Brady and and Matt they obviously he's got another year left this guy is unbelievable Mark I can't believe I know they had Joe Milton I believe last year but this guy is a monster Nico because of him I'm putting them to cover the spread and I think they'll be a playoff team because of this guy that's how on on one I know it's Chattanooga this guy's a go check him out Mark coach I checked him out didn't they pay him 12 million out of high school like is that right they paid him like 5 million out of high school something like that as far as a ball coming out of a guy's hand Mark it's it's beautiful I I I'm going to show it on the big not I don't know what the number is coach but he got some Millions coming out of high school wow so I got my son doing three five and seven step drops right now you got enough cash Mark you're going to be all right for Generations I play running back rob you know they treat us like the redheaded stepchild come on uh Mark last game Colorado at nebras this is a this is a really hear Big 12 versus Big 10 is Nebraska really back what is Colorado year 2 under Prime Nebraska 7 and a half Point favorite in Lincoln Nebraska seven and a half Point faves shout out to B MGM no but Nebraska is much improved man um Dylan riola the quarterback he is a guy he's a gunslinger and he looks like a little mini Mahomes like they look like gangers or something he got the whole fro Hawk light skinn you know kind of sidearm though the defense is nice but Colorado I'm just telling you I I just can't go against Prime shadur Sanders Jimmy horn Jr Travis Hunter if this defense could find a way to get a couple stops just a couple stops I like Colorado on a shootout so - 7 and a half Colorado I'm taking the Buffs SK bu and that's boy I hope we go back there man coach to your point you know Big N will be back in Boulder if coach can get coach Prime can get this window I see you Mark if they can get this win on the road I think the volume starts turning up a little bit it's not there at 10 yet but it it starts the chatter the chatter returns all right so those are our picks also real quick what's that pasta J pasta J baby pasta J's and Boulder baby we know guy we know a guy at uh real quick cuz Matt liner is going to kick me out of his garage here in a moment it is the opening weekend in the NFL real quick for both you guys Mark the difference in the game day experience from college to NFL what is it that you point your finger at the difference in the game day experience man it's just ball man it's just ball like you've been waiting you've been preparing for such a long time in colle you go through a fourth quarter offseason training program that's what we called it at Alabama fourth quarter you go through a spring spring practice you go through summer conditioning and summer workouts you go through training camp you're hitting each other you're tired of each other and you finally get the chance to unleash on a team with a different color in a team that you don't care about you don't really like them people anyway it's time and you have you feel the same way when you go to the league man you've had the offseason you've had training camp you've had OTAs you've had mini camp and you've been doing training camp all all this time now it's Ely it's finally time to reap what you sow you've been putting all these deposits in you've been putting all these deposits in every day you go to the bank you put deposits in now it's finally time to cash out that's what that's what the first game day is like in KY Jordan NFL it's time to cash out it's time to hit the bank it's time to hit the big safe in the back not the cash reg in the front we need the big safe we need where all the security deposit boxes at all the diamonds all the cash we need all of that it's time to get this money that's what time it is let's go who's got a sec who's got a security box these days by the way I remember seeing mine years ago my dadli off coach old ladies and it's a lot of old people out I need that I need them diamonds and them old gold watches and everything you got back there I need it I got to have it it's time to eat get week one the biggest difference I saw Mark was uh that on game day especially home games you get up on the morning morning players eat on their own and the next time you as a coach talk to the players is right for a kickoff and in college you get up and I mean we used to go for a team walk you'd have your team breakfast you'd have special teams meetings offense defense meetings a quick walk through even for early games and then you'd all get on the bus and you know put on your shirt and tie and go to the stadium and go play the game in Pros it was uh uh I mean it was just very different game day it's grown men grown men get up grown if you a business a business but college football has become more and more of a business too right more and more of a business uh last chance for uh a lingering urine story out there are we good no more no more urine st check my archives nope I'm looking I'm looking no we're all good uh I want to give my thanks to my
