Michigan and MSU football preview.

0:00I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. I'm going to go to the next slide. All right, Gator. Michigan State hosting eastern tomorrow. Michigan hosting. Oklahoma will do them chronologically. People are obviously counting Michigan out. We know how this works. You play like that in week one and undermines any confidence that fans and Vegas had in the last Michigan football team. Oklahoma rolled over U-TEP. Went back and watch last year's game again. It was pretty much all sooners. And Brent Vennibles is an elite defensive mind. And he's going to throw the kitchen sink at Bryce Underwood as you would expect. My guess is they'll gang up against the run and see if Bryce can beat him. The question is, what is Jason back the offensive coordinator having his bag of tricks? I find it really, really interesting. The Beck's offense at previous stops. He's had a top five passing offense

1:00and a top five rushing offense. Which tells me you should be able to take whatever skill set you're presented with and get the most out of it. Is it an example of just a terrible day at the office last week? Or is there some growing pains that's coming with putting this new offense in? Or do they just not have the guys? I mean, it may be Bryce. Maybe other things, but we'll find out as this season goes. One thing that's opening up the path for victory for Michigan is last year going into that game against Oklahoma. There was real question about their young left tackle, Fassouci. And he turned out to be really good and now is considered one of the best in the country. There is some reporting that he may not play in this game. Uh, Michael, the starting center. He might not play in this game and it would be a true freshman who started last week for them playing center. And Foujah, who's played on the right side of their offensive line, he may not play on this game. They all might be out. It's going to be important to watch the warm-ups

2:00to see who is going for them and who is not. If one part of Michigan's team stood out, it was the defensive line. And they're going to have to corral John Mateer. Mateer was unreal last year. And he, I think he had 20 carries against Michigan, scored a couple of touchdowns. What was Mateer's issues last year? It was turnovers. He threw 11 interceptions, but he only fumbled twice. And when Michigan talked this week about defense, when their coaches talked this week about defense, they talked about not creating enough turnovers. And that's the chop, right? When the quarterback, when you have a chance to sack the quarterback, you chop his arm. You get that ball out. And they didn't do enough of that. And things like that were points of emphasis this week. They've got a carameter and they've got a carameter and they've got to get the football out. And maybe pressure will force interceptions, force bad throws. I feel like for Michigan to win this game, the defense is going to have to help out the offense. And then, then the easy one is,

3:00hey, hey, hey, how about not penalize, get penalized nine times, right? Don't turn it over. Don't penalize. Don't help Oklahoma beat you. If they button those things up, I think there's a path to victory there. And college football is great, right? Because one of the things that makes college football great is week to week. You almost never know what's going to happen. Look, there's always a path to victory. I don't think it's a great path. I think it's perilous. I think you're going to watch you out for all the trap doors and everything else. It's in your way. But Vegas has set this at a five point spread right now. So find that to be interesting. The Oklahoma's only favored by five after what happened last week with just nothing to show for it offensively for Michigan. I suspect Michigan's going to be better this week when it comes to the offense that maybe they can grind things out, stick to a running game that tries to wear down, the defense of Oklahoma. But Oklahoma's, they've changed the roster around too. They've added a couple of transfer wide receivers that had some good value last year and previous stops. They've added transfers to the offensive line as you mentioned. And Satan is the lead.

4:01And Satan is the holdover. So, and so as Mattir, and obviously those guys are really clicking on the top of the line. And so as Mattir, and obviously those guys are really clicking. I do think Oklahoma's going to win this game and probably buy more than just a touchdown. But I don't think it's going to be some epic blowout that maybe some people are thinking because of what they saw last week. I think last week is, is disturbing a start as you can expect from Michigan. But I don't think Price Underwood was as bad as everybody thought that he was last week. The result was, was the result was. I mean, they ended up, they did win the game. I mean, that's count as a W. And his last couple passes on that drive were, I mean, it hits the, the Hail Mary for the touchdown and the other pass he threw as well was, was very impressive down the middle of the field and they had to have it and had to have a big chunk. They got the big chunk. So, I think they're going to be more competitive this week. But I just think Oklahoma's got too much. What do you got for Michigan State Easter? Michigan is your preview that one.

5:01Well, I mean, this is, this brings in former quarterback Noah Kim, who had played a coach. The Carolina and then obviously at Eastern Michigan the last couple of years he, he had a little bit of playing time with the Spartans, but not that that familiarity should mean anything. This is a different Michigan State team. Under under Pat Fitzgerald, all the transfers and the turnover and the roster, it's a massively different team. I think that when you look at Eastern, splitting their first two games, one on one, Michigan State should, there's a reason they're favor by 17 and a half points as it stands right now. I think that's a big difference. The number of points that they're going to be going up each week and unfortunately they got, you know, another name next week, which is going to be really tough. As long as they don't focus on what's ahead next week with a challenge in the night game in South Bend, as long as they stay focused on tomorrow, they should be fine. Milavoyovic at quarterback is, I think he's a really solid quarterback. I'm impressed by how he handled things last week. I think he's going to be able to do it. I think he's going to be able to do it. I think he's going to be able to do it. I think he's going to be able to do it.

6:01I'm impressed by how he handled things last week. He took what was there and through the ball accurately, the connection with Rodney Bullard was, that's nice to see because Bullard didn't have a whole lot of practice time with this team. And yet it looks like a really nice connection. I'm curious to see how they're able to do with, with Cam Edwards running the football this week. If the weather's not supposed to be ultra-human, like it was last week and causing the cramps, is he going to be able to get off in the right foot? And maybe get into the, the hundred yard territory in the ground. And that sets everything else up from Michigan State. If they're able to run the ball, then they can control this game. All right, there you go. Michigan State and Michigan both in action. Tomorrow's a college football schedule. And then we got the doozy at night, Texas and Ohio State. And boy, I'm fired up for that one. That's going to be fun. Yep. Want to come over and watch it? I'm considering some options. I can put that in the, in the, Oh, Gator, how's it feel?

7:03I just put the, uh, May, we'll see. It's on the will see category. And it options to options. Yeah. Where do you rank in those options? I think I'll down the list. He's about to find out. I think I'm down the list on those options. Um, yeah, probably, probably. Probably not. You're more welcome to invite the boy over too, you know? That would be fun. I think it's a good option. He would love that. The kids, the kids think very highly of Uncle Gator. And they think that the Gator Defends them all the time. Get a fire pit going, you know? Oh, ho, ho. Now you're talking for Doug. Say now you're talking. Just saying. Trying to move up that list. Yeah, fire pits help. Uh, all right. So coming up next hour, we'll have our picks at one 38. Push line app. You got some. Still a few. Do you? Yeah. Yeah. That's a positive for the fall. So now you're going to eat that is coming up next. And I've got a proposal for you, Gator. We'll get to that next on 97 one.
