John neighbors from Lockdown Racerbacks, Cory Burton, Locked On Vandy, Jason Smith, Lockdown Sooner, Eric Kane, Lockdown Falls, and John Miller locked on the zoo. Welcome in-gents. We have a lot of intriguing games to get to, but before we do that, let's do like we do every week. Let's go around the horn and ask each of you to make a prediction about your team or games. Steven will start with Ole Miss.

Not going to have 12 bus for 300 yards given up against the Charlotte 49ers. I think that's the thing. I think this is a get right game for the Rebels this week. Very well should be. John neighbors. We'll get to your game a little bit later. Tough one going out to Utah for the late night Saturday night game. It's a tough one every time, Gordon. It's like, yeah, this is a new thing. Listen, this game is one that basically is like the make or break for Arkansas. If you're going to have a successful season, they got to take care of business in this one. But it is tough. I just love the fact that this game's probably going to end on Sunday morning because it's at 9.15 kickoff central time. That's going to be a lot of fun to talk about and have fun with, but either way, I think Arkansas is going to keep it close, but until I see them win a close game, I'm going to predict them to lose. It would be a huge feather in the cap of Brian Silverfield. Corey Burton, how about Vandy? Well, Jared Curtis is going to win the starting quarterback job. He is, he's going out first this, this game instead of Blaze Burlow.

So I think he's going to think he's going to do everything he needs to do to take care of solidifying the permanent quarterback one job. So that's my prediction. Yeah, you guys win the award for sloppy as football game in a week one. Oh, it was the weirdest game I've ever seen, Chris. It was unbelievable. John Miller, give me a thought on Mizzou. Well, I think Jamal Roberts, by the way, a mod heart, he's still out for the Tigers. No word on him as of yet. But I think Jamal Roberts, because of that, sets his career mark in rushing this week against the J Hawks, which he set last year against Kansas. 143 yards rushing on just 13 carries. He's going to blow away past that carries number this week. The Tigers really need him in a big way on Friday night. It's no doubt. We're going to be getting to that one in just a few minutes. Eric Kane, give me a prediction for your squad. Yeah, I think Tennessee wins by at least two touchdowns. And I think Tennessee rushes for over 200 yards because I'm not sure.

You guys watched that Colorado Georgia tag game. But Georgia Tech absolutely sucks in the trenches. So yeah, it's a game they should have won, but they let that one slip away. Jay Smith, Oklahoma, we're going to talk your game. You're match up a little bit later, but give me a prediction about your team this week. Later, I wouldn't have expected that, but that's okay. I guess. No, I do believe that Oklahoma wins this game. When the regulation actually expires, I don't believe that extra time will be allowed in this one to make it seem like, but no, um, what a serious note. I actually think they hold Michigan under temple. I don't think they allow Michigan to score a actual offensive touchdown in this game. Yeah, the, okay. The one second, you know, kind of took the college football world by storm. And I think just about everybody didn't didn't like it. And now they're making changes where they will actually make up the review career there. Yeah, the NCAA changing rules, making standards, all of this, the max saying you did this wrong.

They're saying, my bad, there's no way to overturn it. And it's like the playoff committee just needs to count at Michigan and O and one at this point. Yeah. Yeah. The NCAA came out with the radical notion that this was leaked by the athletic anyway, that, Hey, you know, the in game stadium clock, I think that should be official. Wow. Blow me over with a feather on that one. Shatter. I thought that's how I was for the first 100 years of this sport. Yeah. I just love the fact that there's a sport now that has a clock that no one knows about. They know super secret clock. It's great. Yeah. I'm just glad the commissioner of the Mac actually sticking up for one of its teams. I understand, you know, you want that check from the big 10 every single year for those noncon games. But I mean, like, was it on Sunday? It's like, yeah, well, we respect. We respect everything in the big 10 day. They did a great job. And then on Tuesday, it's like, yeah, we're going to, we're going to try to sue you to get that win. At least you're doing something. That is very true. Wonder what that sound is. Corey's doing a show from a cave apparently. So we'll wait. Wait, what? You're just, you just did your mic and it.

I'm just going to, I'm just going to do. I'm just going to go ahead and stuff here and that touch my microphone. As I said, I alluded to, we're going to save the two big games for later. So if you're watching this, you're listening to the squad show. You want to get to Texas Ohio State, Oklahoma, Michigan. We're going to do those later, but we do have some other intriguing games to get to. Let's start with Friday night. It will be number 23, Mizzou at Kansas and John Miller. This is an old big 12 rivalry that just frankly, both sides hate each other. We did hear that Mizzou is going to get their starting left tackle. Caden Green back Friday night. So that is good news, but give me your thoughts on this one. Yeah, no, I'm just wondering. Because Fox wanted the game on Friday. It's as simple as that. It's at Kansas. So they get to say that's the gods on a answer. That really is the answer. Yeah, but I don't know if you all remember that a few months ago, but Greg Sankie made this day, and he's like, we will never play on a Thursday or Friday.

The SEC, we're playing on Saturday. That's when we play and that's when Fox was like, hey, we're going to put on matchups and Thursdays and Fridays. So which by the way, it's hilarious. Oklahoma's playing on big new kickoff, which is part of their reason for leaving to begin with. So that's kind of hilarious. Yeah, shout out to Fox for going ahead and putting us right back in the hole we were before. The good thing is last year when we played Michigan, we got the primetime game. We got the night game. So I was very happy about that, but Texas gets it this time because they were big new last year. Yeah, we basically the reason lose the big 12 was to get out those 11 o'clock kickoffs. All right, let's get back with Zoo Kansas, John. Go ahead. Yeah, so there is the irony in college football never ending, but on Mizzou Kansas, you know, obviously getting Caden Green back a huge deal from Missouri. I think that was very much a precautionary move in week one, drink with saying he looks totally fine, full confidence and go. On the other side, Kansas, I think this is a good deal for Missouri in the running game as well.

Bam, crouch, a transfer from BC. He's out for the game. I think that was pretty obvious coming after week one. I think Missouri is going to be able to run the ball against Kansas. Love what I saw at Austin Simmons in week one. I think Missouri is going to score. My only question is boy, I do like Isaiah Marshall, the Kansas quarterback, at least his talent. I'm really not sure totally what to make of him yet, but there are tools there. He's a dangerous player. Yeah, I like what we saw from his view in week one. I get it. It was what arcades are behind the block forever, but Austin Simmons looked great and Donovan, Luba Day, yes, that kind of coming out. He was a freshman last year and then had a big night. So we'll see Jamal Roberts, you said, you know, should have a big game, but anybody think Kansas puts up a fight in this one? No, no, no, that's no feel it. No, but whatever reason I'm just with John, I'm very much team, Missouri when the Missouri Kansas game comes out.

No matter what, no matter what the records, I'm going to be with Missouri. And drink is perennial. It's my heart. It feels like you drink. Missouri always starts the year like 4.0, 5.0, and then the schedule gets tough when they get the conference play, but that could well happen this season, especially look at the back end of Missouri schedule. You got Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, or three out of your last four. So this could be a really good team that people would be going, oh my God, they faded it. I mean, who wouldn't possibly get that that quartet there? Three more of this segment. How about Saturday morning on ABC? It is 1-0 Arizona State at top 10 Texas A&M. Now, a quick primer here, Arizona State's quarterback is Cudder Bolly, who had a little bit of success last year in Kentucky as a freshman. Oh, yeah. Either six touchdowns in week one. Now again, who do you play? It was a nobody, but still, I know, kind of intriguing, an early game for A&M. A&M's had some of these early games where they're kind of a sleepwalking through and kind of waking up. Anybody think Arizona State can kind of be in this one for a bit?

I think they can. I think it'll be a little bit back and forth, but I think A&M will pull away. I mean, it's just, I think the talent gap will eventually skew in favor of Texas A&M. Did last year they lose the Mississippi State? Yes. They did. Yeah, I'm. I'm. Arizona State did not Texas A&M. Yeah. I just think that Kyle Field, it seems more like Arizona State is one of those teams. It's getting talent plucked from it by the other power force than the other way. I know this podcast seems a little bit down on the Aggies. I'm not that down on the Aggies. I don't think they're going to lose this game at Kyle Field early in the season. No. Yeah, they gave up zero points in week one. So Aggie defense is still pretty darn good. But I will say, I'll come out this week and kind of defend Marcel Reed a little bit. And I know my fans are down on him and all that. I'm like, that's pretty bold for week one. You're already having to go out and defend your quarterback. So I'm also reed was not bad last week. I just think he's not getting enough love or respect.

And particularly from the fan base, I guess. Yeah, with the Twitter people, they take bullet point. Once they have their take, they defend it into their death. And the evidence does not change that opinion. So I mean, he could be punny good, but those same people that say sucks is going to say sucks. All right. One return guys will get into some of the other bigger games happening. We've got some drinking matchups this week, cupcake weeks over. We've got to mention the decent games when we return the SEC squad show talking more ball coming to the next. Hey, first one or mine you guys with the season having already kicked off.

Our gents we get back into it and look at some of the games this weekend given our thoughts on them. How about Saturday afternoon. It is number 12 Alabama at 1 in O. Kentucky. Any upset potential here for you guys of Will Stein versus Kaelin DeBor. I don't think Alabama loses, but I think this could be sneaky good by do. Yeah, this this game has to me has felt like a big time trap game. And it's mainly because Alabama plays Florida State the next week. I know, I know, I know Florida State stinks.

Alabama lost to out to Florida State last year. So you know this on their mind. That is the thing they're thinking about. We've got to beat the crap out of them. We've got to get our revenge. And so because of that, this is a game that I could see in accidental look over type situation. Kentucky wasn't terrible week one. They were actually not terrible. And can he mention like a solid quarterback. So I think this game just like Eric mentioned. This is going to be a funner game if people realize. I don't even know if Alabama actually covers this spread. I think they win by 10 and it's like a 30 20 game or something like that. Yeah, Kaelin Russell first road start. That's something to keep an eye on. Maybe the big grocery bag up in Lexington's rocking for the first conference game of the year. But I think if Kaelin Russell settles in and improves like they normally do from game one to game two, I think Bama is going to cover this game. I don't know why I can't prove it. But I do like I think Bama's going to be pretty good for me to for me to get on the Bama train here.

They've got to find some way to run the ball better. I think they're still there's still a lot of lingering questions with their ability to run the ball. And it's just it's going to be one of those things where it's going to allow this game to be closer than it probably should be. But for Kentucky, the home field deal, it's tough to win in Lexington. Just because it's it's a weird atmosphere. It's like one of those atmospheres where it's like, yeah, you know, it can be it's draining on you. And I mean teams go up there and win. But like it's it's usually ugly is kind of my point there. Except for maybe Tennessee for a lot of years. So I have the combination of Kaelin Russell who I think is obviously incredibly talented. But first road start, I wonder if he just tries to scramble his way out of trouble a little bit too much and especially maybe understandably so with a bit of a shaky offensive line from Alabama in the first week from all accounts. I'm a little hesitant just because to be honest with you,

I didn't see Kentucky last week. I'm really curious to see what can he mean. She looks like, of course, and Will Steins hold offense. But that 10 and a half points on the road. Something tells me I should give it offensive line was much improved for Kentucky that they're trying to build back that big blue wall. Uh, allows to live in from Alabama. Lance herd who was at Tennessee, you know, they got big guys on that on that line out. And then uh, see you back to the former five star running back that was at Texas looked pretty good. And a few notes here, guys from the interior port Wednesday night. Alabama right guard Michael Carroll listed as doubtful. And then AK deer, the they're what number three running back. He's listed as questionable, not expected to go. And then for Kentucky, they're right tackled Malachi wood who missed last week is good to go. They're two starting corners who they sat out last week are good to go. And Javante Barnes, the former OU running back is good to go. So it's almost like Will Steins looked at the schedule went, we're going to hold out a bunch of guys against Youngstown. And we're going

to put them all out there against Alabama and make sure wherever full go. So kind of interesting strategy, I guess. Well, I'm telling you right now, Alabama's going to win this one and win it big because Kentucky's still too worried about Mark Mitchell not being eligible. So they can go get bent. Yes, well said neighbors. We agree for once. I love it. Spoken like a true Arkansas basketball fan their neighbors, but that is the sport we care about. Uh, how about, by the way, raise your hand. Are you taking Alabama to win this one just raise your show of hands? Okay. So all y'all, I'll stick with. I just want to have fun. I want to be a good game. I think it'd be a good game. I'm a spew there. I do think Kentucky's going to cover, but Alabama wins. Yeah, I agree with that. By all season prediction, I say Kentucky wins. So, uh, I got they will they will they'll give Will Steins a contract extension. Uh, if he wins this one, that would be a worthy field rush. I'll know if Kaylen DeBore loses to Kentucky and Vanderbilt on his résumé in his first three years, but this is what he's done, right? Like he wins the big games.

It's the games against the Oklahoma's, the Florida States, the the Van D's, like these are the ones that he's lost over the years. So how Oklahoma and Florida state going into that pile? And while I meant Oklahoma when they were what six and six, two years ago, right? Yeah, that's fair. So, uh, they they beat them in the playoffs, like it matters. But, uh, all right, how about in the afternoon, this one's a trade in guys one in no Mississippi state at one in no Minnesota. Come on, Taylor. The goose. The SEC and passing. Is this move the needle all for you guys? Oh, that is really good. Yeah, he really is. It's really good. Fun game to watch. But I do caution everybody. It was against Louisiana Monroe. That's going to be the last place team in the Sunbelt. I mean, and the clip that you keep seeing on Twitter is one play. It was, now it was a beautiful play, but it was one play. Um, and Minnesota playing out there, it's going to be an ugly game. This is going to be a Trent style ball game. And if they can contain,

I think they have a good shot if they can force Camario to beat them with their arm. This game is a stay away from a picks or batting perspective, but a fun one to watch is an interesting one to watch. How for real is Taylor? This could tell us a lot. And we talked about the SEC versus big 10 argument. Unfortunately, they're going to use this one if Minnesota wins. Sure. About all big 10. We got you SEC. Even though the game doesn't mean jack, you know, at the end of the day, they will use this. So, hey, hey, let's go. But if they have just Oklahoma and state wins, all of a sudden, you get all the benefit of the doubt from the playoff committee after that. Yeah, that is very much true. I want to see what Drake Lindsey looks like in a game against a potentially decent decent defense with Zach Rnet coming in at Mississippi state coming back home. It's for head coach, Zach Rnet. And being ahead to coach, being fired from being head coach and then coming back more or something, anything. Rnet coming there underneath Lebi still kind of reminds me of him being in the leaf leech. So there's a chance

that they could actually surprise a lot of teams this season. I think they can go up there and actually pull off the victory. I think it's going to be close. I just want it to be fun. I just want it to be a fun game. Period. I want show fans who's riding with state. On to three, four, five, five, five of us believe in him to shoot out. And I think it's complicated. He cannot. It's for me, it's just not really believing in Minnesota right now. I don't know if they can row the boat enough against Mississippi state and I don't know. I don't know if they can handle a car or a tailor, but I don't know what's on about Minnesota, to be honest. But I just need Arkansas's future quarterback to do really well in this game, which is Drake Lindsey. So yeah, if it turns into the sloppy game that Minnesota likes to get into, it's a problem for Mississippi state. State believe it or not has to win pretty. All right. How about at night on ESPN is number 18 Tennessee at O and one Georgia tech. And again, this is kind of lost. Well, it could have been a little luster had they started

want to know at Georgia tech, but losing that hard part going to Colorado. Things like just about everybody's in on Tennessee. Eric how we feeling? Confident. Good. I mean, I've felt this way all off season to be honest. I mean, this all off season like everybody like a bunch of Tennessee fans and like, uh, Georgia. And now I respect Brink. I think he's a good coach. I understand what he's done at Georgia tech. I know the style of play that that, you know, he's he bill, but that was not what was against Colorado. I mean, they were trash on the offensive line. Offensive line was awful defensive line. The front seven Colorado ran for a buck 83 on him. And just as Haines couldn't do anything. I mean, I burnt them in doses. It was pretty good, but he got sacked three times for a loss of 22 yards. I mean, everything that Georgia tech kind of prides themselves on. They did not do against Colorado. Now I think I think Georgia tech is better than what it showed. It was just one game. But, you know, all off season people are like, kind of given this pause. Like, oh, I don't know, Georgia tech, you know, freshman quarterback. I hear I hear you there. But this screams in C state vibes 2024 to me where everybody was just kind

of worried about the game in Tennessee went out there and just blitzed them 51 to 10 or whatever it is. I think Tennessee wins by at least two touchdowns and I don't think Georgia tech is very good. I agree with one of my favorite picks of the week. I like the balls minus what 12 and a half in Atlanta. Give them to me. No. Do you guys like what you saw from FaZe on Brandon week one? I thought he was pretty strong. Yeah, he's me too. It was Farman. So you got to recognize that. Excuse me, but man, I mean, he runs the football authority. He throws such a pretty football. He's decisive. I mean, I know you played at home, but you're still playing in front of a hundred two thousand P if fans like that's pretty intimidating for a guy that literally just turned 18 years old, but over the summer. Now, he was awesome. I'm intrigued to see how they utilize him. I think they're going to run him a lot down at Georgia tech this weekend. But now he was five total touchdowns. I don't care who you play. That was that's pretty impressive. For his first minute, he's been or is it Bobby Dodd? Bobby Dodd. Is it Bobby Dodd? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, he looked

like a freshman quarterback that is in a really good system that allows for him to be successful. So I mean, it's what he looked like and he he took advantage of it. He was he was pretty accurate. He ran well. I think FaZe on Brandon's going to be a fun quarterback this season. This is going to be a great test for him. He he couldn't use this. But the good thing for Tennessee is Georgia tech is just awful and the trenches. I mean, Colorado ran for a hundred seventy yards in a panel. And Colorado could not run for a hundred yards in a game like period last year. So obviously, Colorado brought in a whole new offensive line and a whole new staff and a whole new everything to go any prime to be better. But like literally Georgia tech could not figure out how to get the ball down the field. They couldn't score the offensive touchdown. Tennessee better blow them out like period. Real quick show hands. We're all rolling with the balls. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We last one in this segment. Guys late Saturday night as John neighbors intimated. We get one in a Arkansas at number 20 Utah. Both teams getting week one wins.

John, I watched Arkansas. There was some good things. Well, you know, I thought they were going to blow out. Nor it's North Alabama. But defense looked better. KJ Jackson showed some improvement. What did you make? First off, show of hands besides Gordy. How many people watch this game? Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. It's like, now you know why I'm always pissed off because it's like, hey, Joe, we come in here and talk about this game. It's like, hey, this is the last game. It's Arkansas and Utah because I know when he starts talking about, oh, show of hands. You just Arkansas. It's Arkansas going to win. None of y'all are going to raise your hands. And that's fine. You're doing the six years though. You've been at six years. It's longer in six years, my man. Come on, now. But no, listen, this is the game that means everything to Arkansas. They're going to have a successful season. They have to win this game. I mean, it's it's pure and simple. It's not going to be easy. It's a hostile environment over there in Utah. It's a team that doesn't have Kyle Whittingham and actually maybe a blessing in disguise comparing seeing how Michigan actually played up there. But it comes down to simple this. You got to be able to not turn the ball over DUR. But you also have to make sure that you have KJ Jackson and you're giving him as much confidence

because Arkansas, the entire off season was about OTB own the ball. No turnovers play clean. They didn't against North Alabama. Ryan Silverville was pissed after the game like, rightfully so. He did not want his game ball that was given to him when he won his first game as a raise your back head coach. So that's got to get cleaned up. But Arkansas, when this came, absolutely, they can. But it's just a matter of are they going to be able to keep their defense off the field and keep from turning the ball over? That to me is the ultimate thing. You talk about some fun quarterbacks. Devon Dan Pierre and Emburdered Ficklin is, Ficklin is they're fun. Scramblers, drawers, they both got some pretty nice rocket arms. I think Arkansas, like two quarterbacks of Utah. Dad, they have a tendency to like they did last year. They had moments where both of them will play. But I mean, Devon Dan Pierre is the main guy. But at the same time, his offense of coordinator left and went to Michigan with Kyle Wittingham. So which I thought was kind of weird because he actually followed Jason Beck to Utah. And I thought that, you know, I guess the

money that Underwood makes made it kind of hard for them to bring a damn peer up there. But that matter, Dan Pierre, be up there next season. But they have two pretty solid quarterbacks that can play the run game is of course they run a lot. Lashon Parker is he's a pretty solid back. I remember looking at him at Washington State when material was there when I was kind of scouting him. He's a pretty solid back. I really want to see if KJ Jackson can go out there and bounce back from the first game to get those jitters off and actually put in work. I think Utah is vulnerable. But I don't know if Arkansas can pull it off yet. Sorry, neighbors. Yeah, I wish we were some more of a run game for Arkansas last week. It was okay. If they were to run the ball much better, Braille and Russell and those guys, Sutton Smith, I'd be hopping on the upset train. But I think I might lean Utah. Anybody taking Arkansas? No. I don't even get it as you see bias. This is a freaking big 12 team. And I can't

even get in the freaking SEC show. Joe and people to believe in. No, I don't want it. I don't want it. You're going to take it. You like it. I raised my hand before you ran. So yeah, right. Yeah. Yeah. This is what I did. Roll the tape. Roll the tape. All right. When we return, guys, we'll get to the two biggest matchups with SEC teams happening this weekend. More squad chill.

Our jets two big games in the SEC, the non-con happening this weekend. And yes, it is big 10 versus SEC, kind of a theme with some of these other games. But Jay, we are starting with Oklahoma at Michigan 11 AM Central on Fox. It is big new and kick off. Man, Michigan's even lost a lot of support with this one with the way that week one played out. But as Nick said, but would say, don't buy the rat poison or don't eat the rat poison. That is a dangerous territory. I heard Kirk Herb Street earlier this week saying you were going to see a much different Michigan on Saturday against Oklahoma. What say you? Yeah, I actually expect a different Michigan from the Western Michigan game. I expect them to come out there and be focused and ready to play. I don't think that they're going to be that much better than they were in the Western Michigan game. I actually think that they'll be they'll be good enough to make it competitive. They have the talent. But the biggest challenge is is what exactly are they going to do to make sure underwood

stays up and actually reads the field. That's his problem. He can't read the field. It would look noticeable in that Western Michigan game. But the thing that helps him and unfortunate for us is bevelize the blitz underwood plays better under the blitz because he has to count less people. You see all these bodies coming up and he just throws the ball up in the air and hope somebody goes up and catching. He's got a couple of receivers in Buchanan as well as Marsh who throw up in the air. They're probably able to find a way to come down with it. But I do believe Oklahoma's secondary is a lot better this year. I actually think that when we run a lot of 12 personnel we'll be able to run it down their throat even because their defense is still pretty young. I expect this to just run it down their throat most of the game. I think Oklahoma's going to win this one soundly. I don't think that it's going to be a massive blowout like everybody. It won't be LSU Clemson. I don't think it's going to be nothing that crazy. I think it's going to run the ball. It would be awesome. I would love it. But I do think that we're just going to run the ball a lot and the clock's going to burn. I think it'll be close to the South Carolina score last year of like 24 or 20s. I haven't to like six. Yeah. One thing's interesting. Now be careful in a close game

because Michigan does its best work and extra time. So fair. You do want to avoid that. They're the Argentine of college football. It's been six times. Definitely. And I do give Kyle Wittingham credit. He took an eight million dollar quarterback and turned him into a great value quarterback. And so that's pretty hard to do as well. I do think Oklahoma's going to win this game pretty easily, though. Never be extra for the hometown kid. I think that's sort of the lesson of the Bryce Underwood saga. I got to be honest with you. Yeah. It's been disappointing there for him so far. Michigan. And Jay, I think Oklahoma with with Brent Vennibulls defense things. He's really settled in and I think this defense is just going to give them so many nightmares that they're just going to have a hard time moving the ball. The tier is going to have a good game. I think this game is going to be tight for a minute. But then I think Oklahoma has a chance to really kind of pull away. I think Oklahoma wins by 30. And when neighbors speak, I think that's a totally sane and rational

take actually because now how far they pull away at that against that against that Oklahoma defense. I'm a big believer in the sooners this year. I think this absolutely could be a blowout. Yeah. The thing to me, Vennibulls defense and what we've seen from Bryce Underwood last year and one game this year, like how are they scoring? I mean, they're going to break up long, long running back runs like underwood sucks. Jolt clashes. Did you guys happen to see his sound like? Regressed. Yeah. When he say that's cool. He's that that's cool. Being asked about his like job security or what? Witting hamsy. He's just like, oh, that's cool. Yeah. Fun stat for everybody. All right. That didn't inspire a lot of confidence. That's cool. Zero confidence. I wonder if Tommy Carr, the the the, the, the grandson of Lloyd Carr, the brother of CJ Carr gets in there. The true freshman quarterback that they have. I wonder if he gets on the field. But I'm going to give you all fun stat. Vennibulls is 51 and 13 when he sees a quarterback more than once. Oh, okay. He's really good at seeing a guy a second time. That's kind of his interesting stat.

And he's really proud of that of the day. Needle stat of the night. I think. I will. I like the Lloyd of Vont. Is he R.B. one at this point? I think at this point, he is. He's the healthiest. So he's definitely R.B. one. We're expected to get Tory Blalock back in this game as the anticipation X Rob was returning for Mindyree. So he's looking like he's getting back fresh and the way he wanted. And of course, true freshman is Jonathan had and then Des Walker should see some acts as well. I expect Oklahoma to run the ball a lot in this game. And I think that's only reason why the score won't be as high as I would like it to be. I just think he's going to just not stop the entire game. I think the sack total goes up for Oklahoma in this game too. No, they're going to get after it, man. He's going to he's going to fumble on. He'll throw he'll throw one up for a pick. Yeah, it's going to I'm with neighbors. It's going to get ugly. I don't know how I don't know how quickly it's going to get ugly, but it will get ugly at some point. I just show a fan to everybody. Everybody ride with you. Yeah, we are. Yeah, I think that a bulls is going to simulate some pressure to speed him up and then

all those people were back in coverage. And you just throw a seat or speed him up so he could throw it at their knees. How about the late game on ABC 630 Central? It is Ohio State at Texas. Did across over Brad Kellner earlier this week. He couldn't join us tonight, but Kellner is calling this a must win for Texas. And I think that's right. Because if they lose this one, they basically have to go nine and one the rest of the season and it's a tough schedule. But I think being in Austin, we've seen this match up what three times in the last 18 months. I think being at home, this is one Texas finally gets against Ohio State. What's say you guys? I think I know how he would Hollywood's mothers is the key in this game. And archmaning doesn't quite have to do as much. And if that happens, you're going to be all right against Ohio State. You don't want to be a situation where arch starts looking like an unfolded lawn chair like you did last year. They can handle it and just play clean ball. I think they'll be all right.

Yeah, that's what I'm curious about them as well. I want to see what this deepness looks like with moust-champ. So, Corey, how exactly is that defense supposed to work for them in this game? Well, we're going to get a lot of pressure on Julie and say it. That's what we're going to do. We're going to knock it down. We're going to sling it around and we're going to intercept some passes. We're going to dance in the end zone. Open your eyes a little bit more, Corey. There you go. That's what I was waiting for. Yeah. We'll moust-champ everybody. No, I'm actually curious to see what their deepness looks like against these wide receivers. How do they contain Jeremiah Smith or how they contain the other 14 wide receivers they have that don't have names yet, but they will have names by the end of this season. That's what I'm curious about. Bo Jackson, I mean, I guess I think he'll be a really good back there. I don't know yet, but yeah. The offensive line of Ohio State, a lot of people have been pointing out as a little bit shaky this year. Texas gets the pressure. Julie and saying I'll be able to do nothing. I just don't believe in Texas in these big games for whatever

reason. I've got a Ohio State winning and it's not I just get real James Harden vibes from the entire Texas program right now. Like, oh, wow, look at those. And I mean like prime James Harden. Like, wow, he's got the MVP averages 35 a game. He's 50 40 90. And yet, would you want to play with him? Does he ever get your class round two? Not very often. Yeah. Listen, listen, Texas is going to get smashed in this game. Ohio State. Like it's not even going to be close. And this is the problem that I have with Texas and the program and also with the fan base and everything is because in that fan base, they believe that if they are not great at college football, then college football has a problem. College football sick. They're unhealthy. If they're not good in football. And so they're going to freak out and lose their minds. And it's going to be this like travesty upon travesties because oh my goodness, how is college football going to exist this season? Now that Texas loses to a Ohio State. I am so sick of the archmaning crap. I'm so sick of Texas. I'm so sick of everyone trying to blow them up into being something great. And they

completely and totally crap their pants and big games like this. And they're going to do it again this time. Well, how state's going to beat them by at least three scores one more time horns. That's like I just don't understand why anybody was thinking to make Texas is a great team. They're so back shut up. They're not going to be a great team this year. That level of hate, man. I'm on board, buddy. Hey, Texas. I like it, but I still I still don't want Ohio state to win. And I don't know that Texas is going to like blow the world up. But then you're then you're not going to see the kingdom of God, Corey. I can tell you that. If this is the way you're going to be. You're rooting for Texas. You're not going to see the kingdom of God. I'm not necessarily rooting for Texas. I'm just rooting against Ohio State. Or so. Yeah, I think that look, I'll say this. Cam Coleman had two touchdowns in game one. He had five in all of last season. I think this is everybody's talking about Jeremiah Smith. I think this is a game. Cam Coleman says, I am the best wide receiver on this field in this game. I am going off. And Ryan Wingo had a great week on two, but I think that trio Wingo Coleman arch. This is their coming out party and letting the

nation put the nation on notice saying we are the best passing attack in the country. I was with Steve on the Hollywood smothers thing. Like I think that's going to be a big X factor for for Texas. If they can get him going, they can they can win the game. But dual threat back. He caught some passes, ran the ball well. And really ground looked okay is the the backup. I thought they moved the pile a little bit more. But again, you never know. We're taking you know, work from week one. I was told I was because I somebody said, why was it Collins Simmons more a factor? They said it was very treating him with kid gloves for week one. They want him healthy all year long. Expect Collins Simmons to be more a factor this week against Julian saying to the Ohio State. So I'm all with the long horns. Raise your hand. You're taking all the horns at home. Me and Steven, that's it. The rest of you are taking Ohio State on the road and DK are at night. Okay. Yeah, because Ohio State could never do such a thing like beating the mighty Texas long horns in their home stadium. They've got a lot of stuff.

Environment on the road. Yeah. Oh, it's fair. Look, Arches legacy is on the line here. He's got he's got to win this one. They it's a must win for the long horns. So we will see what they do. We'll put a bus way. I don't know about that. Real quick, quick and closing. Everybody cool with LSU? Staying in the SEC? No. No, the top of his boots. I'll tell the understand why. The odds of them ever leaving were zero this entire time. Yeah. I just wanted them to stop saying, oh, we are the SEC. That's all I wanted. Just show some contrition. That's some real Texas and the big 12 vibes there for sure. For sure. The long horn network. So, you know, who know? I all I know is that when the governor comes out, he's like, hey, what's good? Can we just play football guys? I mean, come on. It's like, I just wanted to punch him as hard as I could in the face because I'm like, you are, it's like the hot dog beam. We're all trying to find the guy who did this. It's like, you are the problem. It's unreal, man. All right. We'll leave it there, fellas. By the way, LSU gets

Louisiana attack. Ole Miss gets Charlotte. Auburn gets Southern Miss. They're off. They're often better. Look better against Southern Miss for Auburn. But we got big games coming up next week. Go. It's even Gordy. The Charlotte reporter that I had on my show for the crossover for this morning thing picked Ole Miss to win 67 to 14. That was his home review. So, I'm like, good gosh, man. Rest Kiwan Lacey. Get him ready for the big game next week. Anybody that has a hang nail? They're sitting out. Yeah. All right. Thoughts. Good stuff to our listeners and watchers.
