How you doing, buddy?
I gotta sit down the glass.

5
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,300
I've got eggnog.
And I've got some Irish whiskey

6
00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:01,800
in that eggnog.
Mwah.

7
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
I can some football things are
good.

8
00:01:04,900 --> 00:01:09,800
Aw, geez about his perfect of a
December evening situation that

9
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,700
I can imagine.
So I'm right with you.

10
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:18,600
I've got a little little Porter
here, snowdrift vanilla porter.

11
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,700
So that's a great winter beer,
man.

12
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,900
Yes sir.
Great winter beard a have.

13
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:30,100
There was that alarm kugel?
Yep, ha ha only saw a portion of

14
00:01:30,100 --> 00:01:34,100
the bottle.
Folks know your beer, 10/10 your

15
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,100
Or beer, man.
How's your week member, man?

16
00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:42,500
It's been one of those weird
weeks where it's either really

17
00:01:42,500 --> 00:01:45,200
slow.
And then, like for like three

18
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,100
hours, I would get like, a lot
of stuff that crosses my desk

19
00:01:48,100 --> 00:01:50,400
and have to, to bang some stuff
out.

20
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,000
So, been one of those.
How about you, man, Pretty

21
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,900
Petty, other than several
technical issues at work, which

22
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:02,600
this time of year is never any
fun to be sitting there trying

23
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,500
to make something process and
It's like air and you're like

24
00:02:05,500 --> 00:02:10,800
here, God go through, do it.
And then you having to tell

25
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,600
someone yeah I told you.
I've had this back by 11:00.

26
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,200
Might be closer to 1200 there
anything.

27
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:16,900
Okay.
Just won't pry.

28
00:02:18,500 --> 00:02:24,700
Sorry, I'm waiting.
Nothing I'm doing, you know, and

29
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000
why we're going to have a
beautiful mid-fall weekend in

30
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,600
late in mid-December This
weekend, like 65 degrees.

31
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,200
So yeah, I'm like, I'm not sure
if I'm ready for that again.

32
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,600
Like, I'm one of those people
that once I get in a certain

33
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:48,500
mindset, I kind of like to plow
ahead so these like fake fake

34
00:02:48,500 --> 00:02:51,200
Falls and then like in the
spring, where you get like that,

35
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,200
like late February, you get that
one really warm day, right

36
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:57,300
nowhere.
But then it, you know, you two

37
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:01,900
more weeks of 20 degrees like we
do, I like that.

38
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,200
Other stuff.
Yeah, I don't really like I

39
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:14,800
don't really like it but you
know, it is what it is sinuses,

40
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:20,300
which I hate and be.
It's just like my body says,

41
00:03:20,500 --> 00:03:22,900
it's winter.
Yeah, my body.

42
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:25,700
It's winter.
It needs to be winter.

43
00:03:25,700 --> 00:03:28,200
There needs to be, is no, it
needs to be cold.

44
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,200
It is, it's like you've thrown
me a day in the 60s.

45
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,600
I've already burned all my
hoodie's, I can't go back.

46
00:03:36,900 --> 00:03:39,500
A burn, the hoodies.
I put the shorts away.

47
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,800
Which I have put the shorts.
What?

48
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,600
Except I found a pair of the
other night in my bathroom

49
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,500
underneath some things.
So maybe, you know, Karma.

50
00:03:49,700 --> 00:03:52,200
It was being going to need this
one.

51
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,300
We're going to need, you know,
on that weirder than still wear

52
00:03:54,300 --> 00:04:00,600
shorts, like all winter though.
Although you did, I agree.

53
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:05,400
But I mean, it gets to a point
where I'm like, nah, I'm good.

54
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,100
As long as I know.
I'm not going to be out more

55
00:04:07,100 --> 00:04:11,100
than like five minutes.
Like I'm just getting into my

56
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:13,500
car driving around out of my car
into a building.

57
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:17,700
Like, you know, that's not cold
enough for me to sacrifice

58
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,899
comfort.
Awesome.

59
00:04:21,899 --> 00:04:24,100
Well, folks, obviously it is
hate.

60
00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:30,100
We here on the boundary Corner
podcast, as the Hokies this week

61
00:04:30,100 --> 00:04:35,200
will be battling UVA for the
don't know what is going to be

62
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,300
the number.
A big number for the

63
00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:39,000
Commonwealth cup.
Yep.

64
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,800
Trying to take it back after
losing for the first time.

65
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,600
Since 2003 eight-week part to
head up, we had a teaser earlier

66
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,700
and now we're, you know, that
got that got pushed back.

67
00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:53,300
So, now we're officially in.
Hey, tweek it is happening.

68
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:57,600
Ladies and gentlemen, the game
will be played the governor's

69
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,500
announcement earlier, did not
change that, despite some

70
00:05:00,500 --> 00:05:03,900
whisperings and dark corners of
the interwebs.

71
00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:06,800
We are plowing ahead with this
game.

72
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:13,300
Yeah, so I mean that's where
we're at in hate week, just to

73
00:05:13,300 --> 00:05:19,000
recap a little bit guys, we saw
a big stinker from for Mike

74
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,100
Young and the Gang against Penn
State.

75
00:05:23,100 --> 00:05:28,000
That was brutal to a point.
I was going to follow it on my

76
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,400
phone.
I kept the TV on the main cave

77
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,800
to Peak in every few minutes as
I was watching something with my

78
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:39,500
wife, and we were doing
something and I kind of lost

79
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:44,800
track of the game, it started
when one I looked down, it was

80
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,400
2:43 and it was just like,
that's not good.

81
00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:51,000
That's not how you want to start
it.

82
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,500
Yeah, that it started bad.
And then it just kept getting

83
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:57,600
gradually worse and Penn State
had one of those nights where

84
00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,900
like, the Hokies played a bad
game.

85
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:01,800
Don't get me wrong.
Bad game.

86
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,900
Had a bad shooting night.
What wasn't very active on the

87
00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:09,600
defensive end?
But Penn State had one of those

88
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,800
magical shooting nights were
like everything.

89
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,900
They threw up, was falling.
Yeah, everything they threw up

90
00:06:15,900 --> 00:06:18,800
was falling.
I mean, they were legitimately

91
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:23,100
be percent from the field.
So, you know, just from the

92
00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:27,500
field like they couldn't miss.
They went out a little bit

93
00:06:27,500 --> 00:06:29,900
further.
Hey, man, I don't know if you

94
00:06:29,900 --> 00:06:35,900
saw this, but from three-point
range, they were 52 percent.

95
00:06:36,100 --> 00:06:39,700
Yep.
So it was one of those nights I

96
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:42,700
can't win.
They have a bad possession and

97
00:06:42,700 --> 00:06:46,500
then get bailed out.
Like, you know, then with the

98
00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:49,000
Hokies were doing the right
thing, they were still getting

99
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,100
burned.
So yeah.

100
00:06:51,300 --> 00:06:54,900
Back to the drawing board to
sort of figure it out because

101
00:06:54,900 --> 00:07:00,400
again, you can't can't score 55
points and expect to win many

102
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,300
games.
You can't shoot under 40 under

103
00:07:03,300 --> 00:07:06,900
30 from three and fifty percent
from the free-throw.

104
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,800
Line.
I mean, just awful awful.

105
00:07:11,900 --> 00:07:16,000
But I think you know, after two
stinkers like that, you know,

106
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,400
have faith, you know, in mi
kyung that he can pull it

107
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,800
together.
No law of averages, says the

108
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,700
shooting percentage is going to
go up a little bit so it's true

109
00:07:25,700 --> 00:07:28,700
and we'll find out a lot Tuesday
night.

110
00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:33,000
Yeah I agree we'll find out a
lot to do not against Clemson.

111
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,400
I mean Clemson's for know, they
beat Maryland.

112
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:39,800
They beat Purdue, they beat
Mississippi State.

113
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,800
Obviously Purdue in Maryland,
being usually two of your top,

114
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:48,100
25 teams out of the Big Ten so
we'll find out more.

115
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:52,000
Do they bounce back or they kind
of keep this skit going because

116
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:57,200
it's almost last year, it was
the loss to Michigan State.

117
00:07:57,200 --> 00:08:00,900
Then they lost the next few
games to Dayton and BYU who were

118
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:04,100
going to be tournament teams.
But it continue the downward

119
00:08:04,100 --> 00:08:06,600
spiral this year, the big win
happens.

120
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,700
The Solid second one, the solid
went after happens, then they

121
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:13,100
start hitting the skids a little
bit.

122
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:15,200
So yeah.
And like I said, I think I'll be

123
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,000
encouraging is that at least
against VMI, it was just

124
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,600
shooting and against Penn State,
regardless of how they shot,

125
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,400
they were probably losing that
game.

126
00:08:24,700 --> 00:08:26,100
But based on how Penn State was
playing.

127
00:08:26,100 --> 00:08:29,200
So, I mean, there's a, there's
probably only one or two teams

128
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,300
in the country that would have
beat Penn State when they were

129
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:36,500
shooting like that.
So at that point, you know, it's

130
00:08:36,500 --> 00:08:37,400
still early.
Early.

131
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Let's not get discouraged by the
laws, especially after how you

132
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,700
started.
Yep.

133
00:08:41,900 --> 00:08:45,800
Keep plugging ahead try to fix.
What's what's a little sketchy?

134
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,000
They like I said, as I care more
about the stuff I saw on the

135
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,500
defensive end and the the
rotations than I do about

136
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,500
anything that happened on the
offensive end, they did pretty

137
00:08:55,500 --> 00:08:57,700
well on the boards All Things
Considered.

138
00:08:57,700 --> 00:09:01,700
So yeah if they can just hit
some shots which I think will

139
00:09:01,700 --> 00:09:03,800
eventually come, they'll be fine
on the offensive end.

140
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,800
I'd like to see them clean up
some of the defensive stuff

141
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,800
though.
Absolutely.

142
00:09:08,100 --> 00:09:13,400
All right, before we get deep
into sort of breaking down UVA

143
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:15,400
and we're not going to be, you
know, the enemy and break it

144
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,300
down because it again similar to
lab.

145
00:09:17,900 --> 00:09:20,100
This is our most hated rival,
probably the team we see the

146
00:09:20,108 --> 00:09:22,500
second most of living here in
the Commonwealth, we're going to

147
00:09:22,508 --> 00:09:26,200
do strengths and weaknesses of
both sides of their ball with

148
00:09:26,500 --> 00:09:29,300
data and some tape right now.
But Brian, I'm gonna ask you a

149
00:09:29,308 --> 00:09:31,900
question.
Give me your honest opinion.

150
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,500
If Justin Fuente brings back,
the Commonwealth cup, what makes

151
00:09:37,500 --> 00:09:39,300
the Commonwealth cup stay in
Blacksburg?

152
00:09:39,300 --> 00:09:42,000
Does he save his job?
Absolutely not.

153
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:45,800
That's a firm.
No.

154
00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:51,700
Okay, and I say from this
perspective we've gotten to a

155
00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:58,900
point now where you know there
was excuses and there was reason

156
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:02,800
to potentially say this might
get better with more time.

157
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,800
But I think we're past the point
where regardless of what a

158
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,200
win-loss record looks like in a
given year.

159
00:10:10,500 --> 00:10:13,300
Justin Fuente is not going to be
the coach that gets us.

160
00:10:13,500 --> 00:10:17,700
Lead to the ACC Championship
game, gets us over the hump

161
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:21,200
against Clemson, potentially
gets us a future shot in at the

162
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,200
college football playoff.
He's not that guy and if we know

163
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:28,300
that and we know that we're
going to have these weird

164
00:10:28,300 --> 00:10:30,900
Seasons where we win five or six
games and then we're going to

165
00:10:30,908 --> 00:10:34,400
have a couple Seasons where you
might win, eight or nine, I

166
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,200
don't think that's good enough
and that, that doesn't stand up

167
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,100
to the expectations.
We had for him as a coach and I

168
00:10:40,100 --> 00:10:43,100
think that now we know that we
need to move on.

169
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,500
Yep, this isn't a situation.
Someone mean, you chatted with

170
00:10:48,500 --> 00:10:51,200
this week, I can't remember who
it was, was trying to compare

171
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,000
this to the Harbaugh situation
and I sat here and when that

172
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:04,200
conversation I said if Justin
Fuente was 21 and 11 over his

173
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,200
last 23 Seasons, hell no, we
wouldn't be fired him because he

174
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,400
would have been waiting
somewhere between nine and ten

175
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,000
Gaming's before this season
started.

176
00:11:14,500 --> 00:11:16,300
It would be a completely
different story.

177
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,700
You can't put that in with her
ball because Harbaugh had one

178
00:11:19,700 --> 00:11:22,400
ten and nine games.
Harbaugh's problem is that he's

179
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,900
losing the Ohio state every
year.

180
00:11:23,900 --> 00:11:27,000
That pretty much never gives him
a chance to play for the Big Ten

181
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,600
Championship true.
Now, the other piece is this the

182
00:11:32,300 --> 00:11:35,000
end?
I've got to record right here.

183
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:39,100
Justin Fuente started the
10-year out 19 and eight I think

184
00:11:39,100 --> 00:11:45,400
after 2017.
I think being you felt good

185
00:11:45,700 --> 00:11:49,500
after 18, it was skepticism
after Duke skepticism but you

186
00:11:49,500 --> 00:11:53,100
saw the rebound more fact.
But then seeing it reasonable,

187
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,700
it's almost like the snowball
that went into a good Avalanche.

188
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,400
Got somewhere where it's
stopped.

189
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,700
But then something happened
behind it, and shook it loose

190
00:12:04,700 --> 00:12:06,700
and it started rolling, he's 18
and 18.

191
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,900
It is like true citizens.
He's 500.

192
00:12:10,900 --> 00:12:13,700
Yeah, that's not good.
That and that's not what we

193
00:12:13,700 --> 00:12:16,500
signed up for.
That's not what we signed up for

194
00:12:16,500 --> 00:12:20,100
it all again.
I think our expectations were

195
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:24,900
somewhere between 8:00 and 11:00
every year and we got that three

196
00:12:24,900 --> 00:12:29,600
seasons.
But what happened is as we've

197
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,500
mentioned numerous times, it's
where the losses come to who the

198
00:12:32,500 --> 00:12:35,800
laws has come to its games where
you're looking like, you're not

199
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,500
even putting up a fight, it's
games where you looking like,

200
00:12:38,500 --> 00:12:42,700
you have no answers.
And when that's happening too

201
00:12:42,700 --> 00:12:45,400
many times, the no answer games,
not so much.

202
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,900
You know, somebody pulls an
upset to my pulls.

203
00:12:46,900 --> 00:12:49,800
I'm upset tip your hat to them.
It's the games, when there

204
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,400
aren't answers where it's like,
okay, do something different.

205
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,000
We keep doing the same.
Why are we doing the same thing?

206
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:02,300
It's Working and I think that's
where we're at again.

207
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,300
I've said it before and I'll
stick to this, if not for him, a

208
00:13:07,300 --> 00:13:09,700
lot of things that are, that
were not good with in the

209
00:13:09,700 --> 00:13:15,200
program, don't get reflected.
Thank you for that and hopefully

210
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:19,500
him doing that.
You're able to wit in the

211
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:22,600
athletic department, as they
start, looking through the next

212
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,300
head coach will be in saying, we
know these are out of fish.

213
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:28,200
Entities.
Here's how we're going to fix

214
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:29,500
them for you.
Yeah.

215
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,700
And what do you want to do to
put your stamp on this?

216
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,800
Yeah but I think on the whole
he's ultimately leaving the

217
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:40,000
program about at the same level
that he found it.

218
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,600
I think from a brand
perspective, our brand isn't

219
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,900
quite as good as it was when he
took over.

220
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,300
But I think because of Shining
Light on some of the things we

221
00:13:52,300 --> 00:13:55,500
need to improve, I think we're
taking some steps where we need

222
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:59,200
to Ratchet it up.
And I think that ultimately, you

223
00:13:59,208 --> 00:14:03,000
know, cancels out some of the
brand losses there.

224
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:08,500
So you know, well, I think I've
got zero so you know, he didn't

225
00:14:08,500 --> 00:14:11,400
completely run the program into
the ground.

226
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,700
I mean the big problem right now
is because of everything else

227
00:14:13,700 --> 00:14:18,100
happening is that Donors are
getting antsy and donors want

228
00:14:18,100 --> 00:14:20,700
answers and I think donors are
getting what they want.

229
00:14:20,700 --> 00:14:29,600
So exactly the other pieces You
talk about where we were you

230
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,800
know Public Image level
perception level yeah is

231
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:40,600
slightly down but right I went
to a slightly down View and

232
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:45,700
perception knowing that you're
going to get what you need

233
00:14:45,700 --> 00:14:50,200
operationally.
It's not sexy, it's not saying

234
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,000
oh we're you know, we're winning
10 letting games a year.

235
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,100
It's not safe.
Sexy and it doesn't all happen

236
00:14:56,100 --> 00:14:59,000
overnight either.
So it's a, it's a slow, build up

237
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,900
more on, but the whole piece is
you get that in place.

238
00:15:01,900 --> 00:15:06,300
You get back to where you were,
you get back to competing for

239
00:15:06,300 --> 00:15:08,800
the ACC.
You get back to weighing 10, 11

240
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:13,200
games every year and as nice as
the brand is, I think the new

241
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,200
coach would appreciate the other
stuff more than the brand.

242
00:15:16,700 --> 00:15:19,200
Damn, right.
All right, well, let's jump to

243
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,900
it folks.
Time for a little break down

244
00:15:21,900 --> 00:15:26,700
here of the UV 18.
Let's start with their defense

245
00:15:27,900 --> 00:15:32,400
when I was just doing the data
dump, as I always like to do.

246
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,100
I look first at their strengths
and I'm gonna run off three to

247
00:15:36,100 --> 00:15:38,100
you here.
And you tell me if this is

248
00:15:38,100 --> 00:15:39,800
correlating, what you're seeing
on tape.

249
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:46,900
First of all, they are basically
top corner of the country

250
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,600
rushing defense.
Why they're only giving up a

251
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,700
hundred twenty, five point nine
yards, a game 3.49 a carry right

252
00:15:53,700 --> 00:15:57,500
against one of our biggest.
strengths they're up there and

253
00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:03,500
sax number nine in the country
33 total sacks for the year and

254
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:12,700
also the are forcing a ton of
turnovers 17 total Six fumbles,

255
00:16:12,700 --> 00:16:17,500
11 picks top 15 and that.
So kind of seems like they're

256
00:16:17,500 --> 00:16:19,900
doing some very good things on
defense.

257
00:16:19,900 --> 00:16:24,800
So what are you?
It does the tape show this or is

258
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,500
the tape a little more.
You know, the tape definitely

259
00:16:29,500 --> 00:16:33,300
Bears out exactly what those
stats are showing and I'm going

260
00:16:33,300 --> 00:16:36,200
to I'm going to name three names
and one of them we do not have

261
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,400
to deal with.
So I'll start with the one we do

262
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:40,700
have to deal with Charles
Snowden.

263
00:16:41,100 --> 00:16:46,800
Yes.
For most of the Season, Charles

264
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,900
Snowden was giving offenses,
fits.

265
00:16:50,300 --> 00:16:53,100
Yep.
Yeah, six foot, seven Edge

266
00:16:53,100 --> 00:16:56,200
rusher.
Great speed.

267
00:16:56,300 --> 00:17:02,200
Great athleticism hits you with
a low to so not having to deal

268
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,500
with that coming off the edge.
The problem with that is that we

269
00:17:05,500 --> 00:17:07,400
do have to deal with Noah
Taylor.

270
00:17:08,500 --> 00:17:10,500
He was lining up opposite of
Snowden.

271
00:17:10,700 --> 00:17:14,900
He's now their primary Edge
rusher, Snowden was deaf Only

272
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,599
the dude, but Noah Taylor is no
slouch as well.

273
00:17:17,599 --> 00:17:21,200
And still gonna have to stop him
from getting to the quarterback.

274
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:26,000
Is he's going to come hard and
Zane's endear is the inside.

275
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,200
Linebacker for them big player
in the middle of that defense.

276
00:17:30,700 --> 00:17:32,400
Kind of an enforcer in the
middle.

277
00:17:33,100 --> 00:17:35,300
Really good run Stoppers.
He's the guy that's getting

278
00:17:35,300 --> 00:17:37,900
tackles for laws.
He's kind of packing the stat

279
00:17:37,900 --> 00:17:39,500
sheet in the tackle column as
well.

280
00:17:39,500 --> 00:17:43,900
So you know they're going to do
a lot of things to kind of slow

281
00:17:43,900 --> 00:17:46,700
down our Length, which is our
running game, whether it's

282
00:17:46,700 --> 00:17:49,200
painting the ball to Khalil
Herbert or running one of our

283
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,400
quarterbacks up the middle, or
on the outside.

284
00:17:53,700 --> 00:17:56,500
All right.
So we talked about that, we

285
00:17:56,500 --> 00:17:59,000
talked about they forced
turnovers but they have

286
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:04,000
weaknesses hum as good as they
are at sacking the quarterback.

287
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,100
I was shocked by this number,
they are absolutely Dreadful

288
00:18:08,100 --> 00:18:12,400
against passing.
I'm talking quarterback passing

289
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:16,100
efficiency there, 153 out of
165.

290
00:18:17,300 --> 00:18:20,400
They almost average 15 yards per
completion.

291
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:24,000
They are the most passing yards
allowed in the country.

292
00:18:24,900 --> 00:18:27,400
Now I know they play nine games
and there are some other teams

293
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,100
that haven't played as many, but
there's enough teams.

294
00:18:31,500 --> 00:18:35,200
There's enough teams out there
that have played more than eight

295
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,500
games.
It just shows something.

296
00:18:37,500 --> 00:18:44,200
They're also 62 percent
completion so you know That's a

297
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:46,400
that's not a good number.
Your, you want to be

298
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:52,100
substituting as a defense also.
Really big and allowing first

299
00:18:52,100 --> 00:18:55,900
downs.
You know, they are averaged

300
00:18:55,900 --> 00:19:00,200
nearly giving up twenty first
downs, a game, you know, 86 in

301
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,400
the country.
So on the bottom, half of that,

302
00:19:02,900 --> 00:19:06,400
the Brian a couple of the things
that they aren't Really.

303
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,900
But our weaknesses, but they
aren't really great at, you

304
00:19:10,900 --> 00:19:15,200
know, third down, conversions,
39.8, that's a big Bugaboo of

305
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:20,400
the Hokie, so right under 40%
and then the other is they're

306
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,600
giving up 30 points a game,
okay?

307
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:28,600
So, you know, paired the Hokies
defense, we're giving up like

308
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:35,100
30, I think 32.1.
And obviously I think I think we

309
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:37,000
feel like we've had more issues
than they have.

310
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:42,200
So it ain't all sunshine and
Roses on their defaults.

311
00:19:42,700 --> 00:19:44,700
No, and I mean the big thing is
how we feel.

312
00:19:44,700 --> 00:19:49,700
We are in the back end, man.
They don't tackle great on the

313
00:19:49,700 --> 00:19:53,500
back end in the passing game.
They actually do pretty good job

314
00:19:53,500 --> 00:19:57,700
from the safety position,
filling up in the run, but they

315
00:19:57,700 --> 00:20:00,400
end up missing a lot of tackles
with with guys that are elusive

316
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,300
in space.
UNC game.

317
00:20:03,300 --> 00:20:08,400
I mean UNC just ran out of time.
What if they had?

318
00:20:09,500 --> 00:20:11,400
You know, one more stop.
They were going to win that

319
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,900
game.
I mean, they stopped the fake

320
00:20:14,900 --> 00:20:15,700
punt.
Yeah.

321
00:20:16,300 --> 00:20:20,100
They when they game and
Thompson, did it just a great

322
00:20:20,100 --> 00:20:22,200
individual effort on that?
You know, you're getting off

323
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:23,300
topic here?
A little bit.

324
00:20:23,300 --> 00:20:25,500
Just that was designed to go,
right?

325
00:20:25,500 --> 00:20:28,700
And he went left, cutting it
back and got there.

326
00:20:28,700 --> 00:20:31,400
So but the yeah, they're weak on
the back end.

327
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:36,500
Like I said, struggles, with
tackles bunch of Chunk plays

328
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,100
crossers, seems Deep shots on
the edge.

329
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:45,200
I mean there It shouldn't be a
route in our repertoire that we

330
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,400
shouldn't be able to exploit
them with in some way.

331
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,200
The question is, do we take
advantage of that?

332
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:55,200
If we can stop?
The big thing is we can stop

333
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:58,100
them getting to our quarterback
or making our quarterback have

334
00:20:58,100 --> 00:21:00,500
to throw before.
He's ready.

335
00:21:00,500 --> 00:21:02,900
That's where that secondary gets
good because they are

336
00:21:02,900 --> 00:21:05,400
opportunistic.
So that they're out, they're

337
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:10,200
opportunistic, but they are very
suspect that as long as long as

338
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:13,700
we can make good decisions, With
the ball in the passing game.

339
00:21:13,700 --> 00:21:16,100
We should be fine.
That's what I was going to kind

340
00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:18,700
of ask is how can you have that
many interceptions?

341
00:21:18,700 --> 00:21:21,100
That many sacks would be that
pad in the passing game and it

342
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:25,700
sounds like what it is is when
they force essentially the throw

343
00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:29,300
to go early or forced to throw
to the wrong spot or rush to

344
00:21:29,300 --> 00:21:31,200
throw that's when they're
getting their picks.

345
00:21:31,900 --> 00:21:34,900
When the pocket stays clean,
people are just carving them

346
00:21:34,900 --> 00:21:36,800
including be seized back up.
It went.

347
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:44,800
What 502 last week, yes.
You know, we can put up 300

348
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,000
plus, you know, one of those
things, I feel like if we don't

349
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:54,000
put up over 270 but we shall
move on anything else on the

350
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,600
defensive side, you want to hit
Brian before we jump over to the

351
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,900
offensive side of the ball.
Yeah, I mean, I think, in terms

352
00:21:59,900 --> 00:22:03,100
of like how we would attack it,
I mean, from a passing game

353
00:22:03,100 --> 00:22:06,500
perspective, I think we should
kind of pass the set up the run.

354
00:22:07,300 --> 00:22:10,300
I think we need to not just work
in the short, intermediate stuff

355
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:11,800
that I've been pounding on a
lot.

356
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,800
A lie but also we need to take
some shots.

357
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:17,700
Stretch them, we need to make
them work for it but we need to

358
00:22:17,700 --> 00:22:20,400
be strategic with our shots.
We don't want to put the

359
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,200
quarterback back there for you
know, 45 seconds.

360
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:27,500
Waiting for routes to develop
before you can get rid of it

361
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,900
with, you know, Noah Taylor and
zhen zhen zhen, dear bearing

362
00:22:30,900 --> 00:22:33,800
down on them.
So that's what I would.

363
00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,400
I would do to kind of start
things up, and then once they

364
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:39,100
loosen up a little bit and have
to start pulling some of those,

365
00:22:40,300 --> 00:22:44,200
those safeties out of the box,
And that's when we can start

366
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,400
with the running game and
pounding them a little bit and

367
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,500
kind of eating them up between
the tackles.

368
00:22:48,900 --> 00:22:52,500
Now, when you talk about Not
Giving 45 seconds, is this

369
00:22:52,500 --> 00:22:55,100
something where you're thinking
about the alignments, where, you

370
00:22:55,100 --> 00:22:58,500
know the gold is going to be
filled side.

371
00:22:58,500 --> 00:23:01,300
We're going to put three guys,
and we're going to be one guy

372
00:23:01,300 --> 00:23:05,600
down here, your high safety.
Has to make a decision because

373
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,100
if he chooses to come over here
and going to help.

374
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,800
You're allowing three routes to
develop on this side where most

375
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,400
of the time in those cases, you
tell me if I'm right or wrong,

376
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,500
we're going to put our best
corner on this side, free

377
00:23:18,500 --> 00:23:20,200
safety.
You're going to go to the other

378
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,300
hash don't worry about that
side.

379
00:23:22,300 --> 00:23:23,900
He's got the out of bounds as
down.

380
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:28,000
Is his extra Defender I think
you want to try to isolate you

381
00:23:28,008 --> 00:23:30,300
know if you got man coverage you
read man coverage kind of

382
00:23:30,308 --> 00:23:35,200
isolate where that Where that
safety is going to be shading to

383
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,700
and kind of attack opposite
that.

384
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,100
That way you can throw the ball
earlier in the route and just

385
00:23:42,100 --> 00:23:45,600
thinking it could be a 50/50
type situation versus having to

386
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,600
wait for a guy to come.
Open on top of that.

387
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:54,100
I'd like to see some of the RPO
stuff just because that's going

388
00:23:54,100 --> 00:23:56,000
to slow down that pass rush a
little bit.

389
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,700
If you can work some of those in
there, should be able to take

390
00:23:59,700 --> 00:24:02,300
some shots up the scenes, maybe
throw a fade out of that.

391
00:24:03,700 --> 00:24:06,900
All right.
Well let's hope so my burn the

392
00:24:06,908 --> 00:24:08,500
Excel spreadsheet.
Then this week.

393
00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:17,900
Did you burn the Excel?
Spreadsheets at the end of the

394
00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:30,200
week.
Anyway, looking for items items.

395
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,300
A weakness, believe it or not.
Kind of shocked me they're

396
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:38,200
passing offense is actually
really a strength of there's you

397
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:43,100
know averaging 260 a game about
12 yards per completions that's

398
00:24:43,100 --> 00:24:45,500
kind of impressive, losing
Armstrong for the games that

399
00:24:45,500 --> 00:24:49,500
they did.
You know, the only slight hiccup

400
00:24:49,500 --> 00:24:54,600
is they are only averaging about
58 percent completion.

401
00:24:55,700 --> 00:24:58,200
I'm have a feeling.
You might be able to tell me why

402
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,600
on that in a few minutes here.
The one thing that shocked me

403
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:06,000
even more Is protecting the
quarterback, they're giving up

404
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,200
less than two sacks of games,
and only about four tackles for

405
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,700
loss.
So again, I'm still trying to

406
00:25:12,700 --> 00:25:15,700
figure out how with that Mash
unit that they're doing it.

407
00:25:15,700 --> 00:25:18,900
I hope you can shed some light
on that, they consistently win

408
00:25:18,900 --> 00:25:22,000
time of possession all year.
Usually averaging about 31

409
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:28,500
minutes of game and running the
ball, I consider more average

410
00:25:28,500 --> 00:25:33,900
only about 174 yards.
So not, you know, not terrible,

411
00:25:34,300 --> 00:25:38,100
but not dominating their very
much below the pack.

412
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:42,300
Yeah, pretty much.
I mean, that kind of checks out

413
00:25:42,300 --> 00:25:46,100
as well with what I'm seeing.
I mean, you know, we talked

414
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:48,700
about the couple games Armstrong
Miss, but when he's been in

415
00:25:48,700 --> 00:25:53,500
there he's really he's paid that
offense more consistent.

416
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:57,800
So whereas, you know, last year
with Perkins, they could just

417
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:01,500
kill you at any given moment.
Yeah, the ability to either

418
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:05,800
throw it deep or Perkins to beat
you with his legs.

419
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,500
This is really more of a kind of
a balanced approach with with

420
00:26:10,700 --> 00:26:14,300
Strong having a lot more, poison
the pocket, and a lot more

421
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:17,500
poised behind the line of
scrimmage and making good

422
00:26:17,500 --> 00:26:19,900
choices there than I really
thought I would see.

423
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:24,100
He had some early problems in
the season with some

424
00:26:24,100 --> 00:26:29,600
interceptions, but he's really
clean that up and, you know,

425
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,700
he's really good at feeling when
to step up in the pocket, when

426
00:26:33,700 --> 00:26:37,700
to break the pocket window, look
down the field to make the play.

427
00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:40,700
Once he's broken the pocket and
went to just take off and And

428
00:26:40,700 --> 00:26:44,500
try to get a first down and you
know I'll say this you know he's

429
00:26:44,500 --> 00:26:49,600
not Elite like Perkins in terms
of athleticism he's probably

430
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,300
more similar to a Sam Howell in
terms of his athleticism but

431
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,400
he's definitely more run first
than Sam how he's a guy that's

432
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,100
going to if he sees it there
he's going to take it and he's

433
00:27:02,100 --> 00:27:05,500
going to run so we got to watch
him in both elements there.

434
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:08,700
A true dual threat at the
quarterback position.

435
00:27:08,700 --> 00:27:11,900
So that's where their offense
runs through.

436
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,300
They've got a good kind of
collection of running backs as

437
00:27:17,300 --> 00:27:20,600
well.
The main one is tala pop up.

438
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:24,100
He doesn't jump off the tape
when you see him, there's

439
00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:28,900
nothing Elite about him but he's
a solid one, a guy for them.

440
00:27:28,900 --> 00:27:30,600
He kind of does a little bit of
everything.

441
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,900
He's a good blocker.
He kind of works through the

442
00:27:35,900 --> 00:27:38,200
garbage a lot between the
tackles even though he's a

443
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,700
little undersized and then they
got Simpson, who does a really

444
00:27:41,700 --> 00:27:44,000
good job of catching balls out
of the backfield.

445
00:27:44,008 --> 00:27:49,500
I saw him take one against
against UNC, he broke a really

446
00:27:49,500 --> 00:27:51,300
big on things, like a 70 or 80
yard touchdown.

447
00:27:51,700 --> 00:27:57,200
Down off just like a quick swing
pass out of the backfield so he

448
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,200
can hurt you in the receiving
game, they throw a lot of

449
00:27:59,208 --> 00:28:02,400
screens to him stuff out, you
know, check downs and things

450
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,700
like that.
So he's got to watch in that

451
00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:07,800
type of thing.
And he'll also carry the balls.

452
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,400
Some, he actually likes to Thump
A little bit more than table.

453
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,000
Papa.
So kind of athletic guy that'll

454
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,700
bring a little bit of lumber at
the end of a run.

455
00:28:16,900 --> 00:28:20,800
Very nice Brian.
What about their offensive line?

456
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:22,800
Again, I look at the fact
numbers.

457
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:28,100
I don't see a lot about that,
you know, is it is it, you

458
00:28:28,100 --> 00:28:33,300
mentioned, you know, the Dual
threat capabilities of Armstrong

459
00:28:33,300 --> 00:28:37,400
but to still have that low
number.

460
00:28:37,700 --> 00:28:41,500
I mean, are they is it just a
perfect combination and what

461
00:28:41,500 --> 00:28:44,800
they're doing or is it, are they
borderline?

462
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,900
You know, a really really good
offensive line.

463
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:50,700
I'd say they're above average
offensive line, they're not a

464
00:28:50,700 --> 00:28:53,000
really good offensive line but
they are they are a good

465
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,900
offensive line.
They're probably, I don't know,

466
00:28:55,900 --> 00:28:59,100
maybe three or four in terms of
the best lines you've seen this

467
00:28:59,100 --> 00:29:02,500
year so they're not like,
Clemson.

468
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,600
They're not, you know, they're
not Elite level but they get the

469
00:29:05,608 --> 00:29:08,600
job done.
But pairing it, what they do

470
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,200
with what Armstrong's
capabilities are they look a

471
00:29:11,208 --> 00:29:14,300
little bit better than they are.
And, you know, they got lucky a

472
00:29:14,300 --> 00:29:18,000
little bit.
Armstrong is done a good job of

473
00:29:18,100 --> 00:29:20,600
oftentimes getting rid of the
football when he needs to.

474
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:27,400
He has kind of that little bit
of Russell Wilson type thing

475
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,900
where he can get in trouble and
then get himself out of trouble

476
00:29:30,900 --> 00:29:33,600
and then get rid of the ball.
Okay, it's in.

477
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,200
Sometimes that goes for
completion and sometimes it just

478
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,300
goes for you know getting thrown
out of bounds and moving on to

479
00:29:39,308 --> 00:29:42,100
the next place.
So he's definitely helped him in

480
00:29:42,100 --> 00:29:45,200
that regard.
Where is kind of Perkins.

481
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,700
Once you were there, he was
going down.

482
00:29:48,300 --> 00:29:54,400
He has a little bit more of
ability to break, tackles in the

483
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:57,600
backfield and still be able to
get rid of the ball to save a

484
00:29:57,608 --> 00:30:00,100
sec.
What we're going after Franco.

485
00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:03,800
I know you're going to have ways
to attack this D for this

486
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:09,100
offense, excuse me and kind of
second here, but Many mentioned

487
00:30:09,100 --> 00:30:12,000
aren't many talked earlier this
week and you just kind of been

488
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:17,000
and we kind of talked about it.
There's been one good running

489
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:18,900
quarterback that really burned
us this year.

490
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:21,000
I was Malik Willis at Liberty.
Yep.

491
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:26,400
Are there guys have got some
yards but not absolutely kill

492
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:26,800
this.
I know.

493
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,000
Trevor Lawrence broke 217 yards
for the touchdown last week and

494
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:34,400
he had a couple other good runs.
We held the Eric King Sam.

495
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,700
Halden have much going on his
day.

496
00:30:37,500 --> 00:30:41,600
We played enough to where it's
like, if anything comes out of

497
00:30:41,608 --> 00:30:45,000
this year, good, the fundamental
change out front.

498
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,400
We're running right.
Quarterbacks not necessarily

499
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:52,300
dual threat, but guys who have a
little wiggle aren't killing us?

500
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,300
And I always go back.
Remember that night day, we went

501
00:30:54,300 --> 00:30:56,400
to Big Al's against Maryland.
Yep.

502
00:30:56,600 --> 00:31:00,400
In this son of the that kid
could not have been faster than

503
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,200
me but he kept In the pocket,
getting like 12 to 15 yard games

504
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,900
on the left side and me and you
were just sitting there Furious

505
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,200
like him.
What are you doing?

506
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:13,000
What are you doing?
Yeah.

507
00:31:13,500 --> 00:31:16,100
Well Brian.
What are how can we attack this

508
00:31:16,100 --> 00:31:20,300
offense?
And really you know exploit the

509
00:31:20,300 --> 00:31:22,000
weaknesses.
I'm going to mention in a second

510
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,700
here.
Yeah so the big thing is getting

511
00:31:25,700 --> 00:31:27,500
them off.
The field on third down.

512
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,000
You know, they've got a couple
guys that are really good at

513
00:31:32,500 --> 00:31:34,900
kind of moving the sticks when
they get in like a second and

514
00:31:34,900 --> 00:31:40,600
long third and long situation
Jana being the probably the

515
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,800
biggest returning, receiver from
that we talked about from last

516
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,400
year.
He's a stick mover, but he also

517
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,300
has the ability to stretch the
field vertically.

518
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:53,400
Then they've got Kemp, he's more
of that slot receiver underneath

519
00:31:53,900 --> 00:31:57,700
the coverage threat, you know,
working some quick outs.

520
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,600
Somebody, you know, drag some
shallow crossers, things like

521
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,400
that.
They just kind of through the

522
00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:10,300
thorn in your side, I'll game
the newcomer Lavell Davis jr.

523
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:16,000
He tall well mr. 67 right.
He tall.

524
00:32:17,300 --> 00:32:19,300
Yeah.
So obvious Red Zone, threat

525
00:32:19,300 --> 00:32:21,800
here.
Obviously a guy that could pick

526
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:26,900
on smaller Corners if we don't
give them some help.

527
00:32:28,100 --> 00:32:32,000
And then you've got a guy like
Paul Jay in that really big red

528
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,500
zone threat for them at tight
end.

529
00:32:33,500 --> 00:32:37,000
So they've got a Quadra of
weapons there that they can take

530
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,000
advantage of in those third-down
situations in those Red Zone

531
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,100
situation.
So the key is to get off the

532
00:32:43,100 --> 00:32:47,300
field and those situation and
don't let them keep the ball in

533
00:32:47,300 --> 00:32:48,500
the field.
Like you said, time of

534
00:32:48,500 --> 00:32:52,900
possession is good for them.
It's because they're able to get

535
00:32:52,900 --> 00:32:56,400
some of those stick, movers in
the passing game.

536
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:59,600
And when things break down,
Armstrong can take off and still

537
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,400
get it with his legs too, so we
can be good on third down on

538
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,200
defense.
I think.

539
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,900
We like, are we like our chances
here?

540
00:33:06,500 --> 00:33:09,300
All right.
Well Brian, I'm going to just go

541
00:33:09,300 --> 00:33:11,800
right into it.
You talk about the third down,

542
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,400
it is one of their biggest
weaknesses.

543
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:18,900
They are 96 in the country at
converting third Downs at 36.4.

544
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,600
So clearly probably the games
they've won they've probably

545
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,900
been really good at it.
The games they've lost they

546
00:33:26,900 --> 00:33:30,000
probably been really bad at it
in probably what you've been

547
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,800
looking at.
More recently is probably the

548
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,300
last four games where they won.
Yeah.

549
00:33:35,500 --> 00:33:39,100
Obviously if they're converting
them it kind of says something

550
00:33:39,100 --> 00:33:41,700
that they're doing it better but
overall they're not doing it.

551
00:33:41,708 --> 00:33:43,900
Great.
Now I'll say this and you

552
00:33:43,900 --> 00:33:45,700
mentioned it with Armstrong.
You talked about his

553
00:33:45,700 --> 00:33:50,400
interceptions earlier in the
year but they're still turning

554
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,400
the ball over at a pace of
sitting them at 115.

555
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:58,700
The country 17 total turnovers
12 picks five fumbles.

556
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:04,700
So although you've talked about
him cleaning it up lately It

557
00:34:04,700 --> 00:34:07,700
still has that possibility there
that.

558
00:34:07,700 --> 00:34:11,400
Absolutely absolutely.
I'll get now the other one and I

559
00:34:11,408 --> 00:34:15,199
think this is going to be the
key to winning Saturday night.

560
00:34:15,699 --> 00:34:18,300
They're not great at converting,
their Red Zone in two

561
00:34:18,308 --> 00:34:24,600
touchdowns. 39 attempts, only 24
touchdowns We must been not

562
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:29,699
break their just similar to the
Clemson game is gonna sound

563
00:34:29,699 --> 00:34:32,100
really weird.
But first drive we held them to

564
00:34:32,100 --> 00:34:36,900
a field goal right later on,
they get deep, we force a

565
00:34:36,908 --> 00:34:40,199
turnover know, we give it right
back but that's essentially

566
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:43,800
saying right there.
Well that's 11 points if you

567
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:48,400
tell me that we do that and we
hold them down 11 points.

568
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:52,300
I think we win this game by a
couple of stores.

569
00:34:53,900 --> 00:34:57,600
Yeah, we see I'll be the key is
going to be how well we do on

570
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,500
third down and how well we do in
the Red Zone.

571
00:35:00,900 --> 00:35:06,000
They've shown a propensity to be
bad in some of those situations

572
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,900
lately.
They looked a lot better lately.

573
00:35:08,900 --> 00:35:14,100
They look more like a team that
converts on those and I mean

574
00:35:14,300 --> 00:35:18,100
we've seen it of the last this
little run they've been on.

575
00:35:19,900 --> 00:35:23,000
Yeah, they've been winning more
than they've been losing and

576
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,100
Some of that goes back to them.
I'm just cleaning up some of

577
00:35:26,107 --> 00:35:29,800
those things that were really
bad for them at the start of the

578
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:34,400
season and and you know it's
really we're kind of at a mirror

579
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:38,100
image right now like this UVA
team is probably playing the

580
00:35:38,100 --> 00:35:40,700
best football.
They play all season coming into

581
00:35:40,700 --> 00:35:43,100
this game and we're probably
playing some of the worst

582
00:35:43,100 --> 00:35:46,100
football.
We played all season coming into

583
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:49,800
this game so something's got to
give I think from a talent

584
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,700
perspective we probably have the
more talented team but That

585
00:35:53,700 --> 00:35:57,200
doesn't, you know, paper doesn't
win the game, my brother didn't.

586
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:01,200
Let me ask this to, and in this
is where does this sounds?

587
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:07,000
But do you think that when
because of the NC State game

588
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,900
when Armstrong got hurt and he
was out the next to?

589
00:36:10,300 --> 00:36:12,800
Yep.
Or he was out the Wake Forest

590
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:15,400
game at least and then he was
sort of limited with Miami.

591
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:19,300
Do you think that helped them
more than hurt them where we

592
00:36:19,300 --> 00:36:23,100
essentially, he got hurt they
were able to take him out, do

593
00:36:23,100 --> 00:36:26,200
something.
Things different, instead of

594
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:27,500
having games where he was in
there.

595
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:29,200
Let's say he, let's say you
didn't get hurt.

596
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,100
They play Wake, they lose to
wait with him where the failures

597
00:36:32,100 --> 00:36:36,200
just keep piling on top of each
other over and over where the

598
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:39,400
coaching staff can say Hey
listen you're healthy now.

599
00:36:40,300 --> 00:36:42,400
Clean slate.
We're going to do some different

600
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:45,700
things while you are out we
found some niches for Kiante

601
00:36:45,700 --> 00:36:50,200
Thompson.
So you know, Do you think that's

602
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:54,300
helped them more than hurt them?
I think so, I think it provided

603
00:36:54,300 --> 00:36:58,000
them, the ability to give
defensive fronts different looks

604
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:01,000
with their offense and
especially working in Thompson a

605
00:37:01,008 --> 00:37:06,100
lot as kind of like a wing extra
quarterback.

606
00:37:06,100 --> 00:37:08,100
Like he kind of does a little
bit of everything in there.

607
00:37:08,100 --> 00:37:11,500
They use them like primarily
from the wing.

608
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:17,500
Sending him in motion on like
jet sweeps, doing some counters

609
00:37:17,500 --> 00:37:19,600
with him, like there's a lot
that they do with him in the

610
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,200
running game, that gives them
use defenses.

611
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:26,900
Different looks than they would
get from a typical offense that

612
00:37:27,900 --> 00:37:31,500
typical team that runs the the
type of offense that Eva runs so

613
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,300
yeah.
I think those extra wrinkles

614
00:37:33,300 --> 00:37:37,100
have given Armstrong a little
more flexibility in how he plays

615
00:37:37,100 --> 00:37:41,200
the game and that offense is a
hole, a little bit more room to

616
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,900
work because there's an extra
thread out.

617
00:37:43,100 --> 00:37:48,800
They're Well, normally we do
pivotal players folks, but we're

618
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:52,600
not going to do tonight.
You've seen our team, you know

619
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,600
who needs to play.
Well, you know what needs to

620
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:58,700
happen.
And if you haven't Go back and

621
00:37:58,700 --> 00:38:01,800
look at all the games over the
next 48 hours.

622
00:38:02,900 --> 00:38:05,400
You'll figure it out pretty
quick, condensed tapes out

623
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:07,000
there, guys, just take a look at
it.

624
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:11,300
See what you can find pull some
of the good stuff out there but,

625
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:12,900
you know, we know who needs to
play.

626
00:38:12,900 --> 00:38:17,100
Well, we know at this point
that, you know, if we're not

627
00:38:17,100 --> 00:38:19,600
getting off the field, third
down on defense, or if we're not

628
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:21,700
converting, third Downs on
offense.

629
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:24,700
Those those are the two big
things that have really

630
00:38:24,700 --> 00:38:28,800
determine how good or bad this
team has been this year and if

631
00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:32,300
we're not doing those things,
well then we're probably not

632
00:38:32,300 --> 00:38:34,700
going to win this game if we can
do them.

633
00:38:36,100 --> 00:38:40,500
You know somewhat proficiently.
We we should be able to make

634
00:38:40,500 --> 00:38:43,900
this happen.
So we'll see how it goes but how

635
00:38:43,900 --> 00:38:45,400
you feeling heading into this
will man?

636
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,600
I really I'm at a point where I
don't really, I don't know, know

637
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:52,100
what to throw out there for this
one.

638
00:38:52,500 --> 00:38:54,700
I don't know, I don't know what
to throw out there.

639
00:38:54,700 --> 00:38:56,400
For this one.
I mean, I'm going to make a

640
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,400
prediction here in a couple
minutes because what I've seen

641
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:03,800
from this team it's the
inconsistencies we have not put

642
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:08,000
for good quarters together since
NC State back in September.

643
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,500
Yep.
There's been at times second.

644
00:39:11,500 --> 00:39:15,600
Half of Boston College.
If that team on both sides of

645
00:39:15,607 --> 00:39:19,200
the ball shows up every week
since then, the only game we

646
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,800
would have lost, would have been
Clemson.

647
00:39:22,700 --> 00:39:27,100
Hindsight, hindsight, some of
the corners.

648
00:39:27,100 --> 00:39:30,400
Again, spit if that team had
showed up every game since

649
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:33,500
Boston College, we wouldn't have
want any games.

650
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:35,800
We won't be going to the game
before that.

651
00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:41,500
So we are a jekyll-and-hyde team
and that's what's scary.

652
00:39:42,300 --> 00:39:49,300
The upside is there a Jekyll and
Hyde team and their good side

653
00:39:49,300 --> 00:39:51,900
has been showing out the last
four weeks where There are worse

654
00:39:51,900 --> 00:39:53,700
off, has been showing out for
weeks.

655
00:39:55,300 --> 00:40:00,900
You've hope that what we are
opinion is we got a lame-duck

656
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:05,700
coach, you hope that he wants to
go out in a blaze of glory and

657
00:40:05,700 --> 00:40:10,700
do things different query, risks
in an attempt to win the game

658
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:18,000
and, you know, I'm working.
We said have significantly more

659
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,100
Talent than them.
I mean it probably at every

660
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:28,000
single position where more
talented than them A linebacker

661
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,100
is the only position that I'd
say they might have is beat him,

662
00:40:31,100 --> 00:40:34,200
but without Snowden, it's
probably closer to even than it

663
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,900
would be normally.
And there are the three four, so

664
00:40:36,900 --> 00:40:39,700
you're putting their outside
linebackers in with their

665
00:40:40,400 --> 00:40:43,300
backers.
So, it's a little to me, it's a

666
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:48,000
little different.
So let's just get to it.

667
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,200
What's your prediction for
Saturday night?

668
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,300
Oh man.
It is at night, you know, when

669
00:40:55,300 --> 00:40:59,200
nothing matters with it, it's a
night.

670
00:41:00,100 --> 00:41:02,300
Yeah, it's kind of weird that
we've been getting this.

671
00:41:02,500 --> 00:41:06,300
This like Prime spot, as we're
playing the worst football,

672
00:41:06,300 --> 00:41:10,300
we've seen all year.
That's been a little frustrating

673
00:41:10,300 --> 00:41:14,100
because we have to keep watching
it over and over and over again

674
00:41:14,100 --> 00:41:16,700
happen and as does everybody
else.

675
00:41:16,700 --> 00:41:18,600
So that means we get to hear
about it a lot too.

676
00:41:18,700 --> 00:41:24,100
To get a Primetime slot, you
hear about how you did a whole

677
00:41:24,100 --> 00:41:27,900
lot more.
So, Here we are.

678
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:42,800
Give me 31. 27, Virginia Tech
3127 Virginia Tech.

679
00:41:47,300 --> 00:41:53,300
Alright, I am I'm with you after
a few weeks of picking against

680
00:41:53,300 --> 00:41:57,200
us.
There's just a part of me that

681
00:41:57,300 --> 00:42:00,700
couldn't in this case, I think
we come out.

682
00:42:00,700 --> 00:42:04,800
I think we come out fired up.
I think we come out and run some

683
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,300
trick plays.
I think in the end.

684
00:42:10,500 --> 00:42:12,700
They're going to revert back to
some of their highlighted

685
00:42:12,700 --> 00:42:16,200
portions of this game.
Okay I think they're going to

686
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,300
revert back to their height.
A few portions this game which

687
00:42:19,300 --> 00:42:21,500
Tony wrong.
Our hands are going to show too

688
00:42:23,300 --> 00:42:27,700
but I think for them since it
hasn't really shown and close to

689
00:42:27,700 --> 00:42:31,100
five weeks, I think that's
what's going to be the toughest

690
00:42:31,100 --> 00:42:36,700
thing to overcome for them.
Give me 3831, Virginia Tech the

691
00:42:36,700 --> 00:42:42,400
cup stays in Blacksburg.
And I think I think our guys are

692
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,600
playing for something I mean
whether it's for for Coach

693
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:48,400
Fuente or for Pride or just to
get the damn cup back.

694
00:42:48,900 --> 00:42:52,300
You know, I think I think our
guys are going to show up and be

695
00:42:52,300 --> 00:42:58,500
as focused as they've been on
any game probably since Game one

696
00:42:58,500 --> 00:43:01,700
against NC State or less.
What they?

697
00:43:01,700 --> 00:43:04,800
They were focused last week.
I least for a half or two and a

698
00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:08,100
half.
I mean, to me, that was two and

699
00:43:08,100 --> 00:43:09,600
a half of the better quarters of
football.

700
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:11,100
We play on both sides of the
ball.

701
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,900
It's true man.
We can put if we could put

702
00:43:14,900 --> 00:43:18,300
another quarter together with
that, you know if we're all if

703
00:43:18,300 --> 00:43:21,100
we're only having half a quarter
where we're playing, like we

704
00:43:21,100 --> 00:43:23,800
don't know what we're doing.
We probably win this football

705
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,200
game.
If we have a half a quarter

706
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:29,300
where we don't know what we're
doing, Doing by more than seven

707
00:43:29,300 --> 00:43:32,000
and four points?
I think we would probably say

708
00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:38,300
10:50, maybe two touchdowns but
we have to say there's going to

709
00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:42,900
be some really bad quarters.
All right.

710
00:43:42,900 --> 00:43:45,900
Well, let's roll on Brian to our
picks for the week.

711
00:43:45,900 --> 00:43:48,700
Folks, going to pick some ACC
games, a couple out of

712
00:43:48,700 --> 00:43:53,500
conference games as well.
First one Brian since you let

713
00:43:53,500 --> 00:43:57,000
off with the Commonwealth Cup
game lead.

714
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,400
All of this one Wake Forest.
Louisville Louisville is laying

715
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:04,400
one and a half points.
I am trying to figure this one

716
00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:05,700
out.
I'm trying to figure out if

717
00:44:05,700 --> 00:44:07,900
there's players heard on Wake
clearly.

718
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,500
Right.
Well without je viens out, if

719
00:44:12,500 --> 00:44:16,500
someone can explain to me.
Why Louisville is laying points

720
00:44:16,500 --> 00:44:18,700
because I think wait for us when
just came out, right?

721
00:44:21,300 --> 00:44:23,400
Yeah, give you wake for his
legal limit.

722
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:31,000
Legal, you see, like, Wake
Forest has like essentially

723
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,100
quite a bit to play for if you
think about it.

724
00:44:34,100 --> 00:44:38,700
I mean, I mean they've had one
of their better Seasons, you

725
00:44:38,700 --> 00:44:43,400
know, beat some good teams so
out of their starting to stack

726
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,900
some decent Seasons together
under clause in there man.

727
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:50,000
So yeah, yeah.
And they're going to be happy

728
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:54,300
with who they are and I think
Klaus will be there for another

729
00:44:54,300 --> 00:44:56,300
five years if they keep at this
pace.

730
00:44:57,100 --> 00:45:01,000
All right, Brian.
This is kind of the toilet bowl

731
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:05,900
of the ACC.
Duke and Florida State, Florida

732
00:45:05,900 --> 00:45:13,300
State Lane, four and a half.
Oh man.

733
00:45:15,100 --> 00:45:18,100
Toilet bowl.
Welcome to the toilet.

734
00:45:20,900 --> 00:45:24,700
I'll take.
All right, you're going to late

735
00:45:24,700 --> 00:45:29,300
points.
With the team that basically

736
00:45:29,300 --> 00:45:33,000
hasn't been playing for the last
month because of covid.

737
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,400
Exactly that.
That's that's how bad the

738
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:38,000
situation is.
At this point man.

739
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:47,400
I just you know I feel like Duke
is really been rudderless Wait,

740
00:45:47,400 --> 00:45:51,100
wait.
So I think FSU after kind of

741
00:45:51,100 --> 00:45:57,100
having their wad built up for
the last several weeks.

742
00:45:57,100 --> 00:45:59,800
They finally get to hit somebody
again.

743
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,700
So I think we'll see some action
there.

744
00:46:02,100 --> 00:46:04,600
Well true.
But to me, it feels like they

745
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:10,400
laid down and the last three
games they play they lost by 32

746
00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:16,500
24 and 16 not exactly a ringing.
Endorsement, the biggest loss

747
00:46:16,500 --> 00:46:20,500
was to Louisville who's 3 and 7.
So I'm going to flip and say,

748
00:46:20,500 --> 00:46:23,100
take Duke after getting waxed
by.

749
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,100
Miami last week.
I think they show some pride.

750
00:46:26,100 --> 00:46:28,700
Come out.
I don't know if they win the

751
00:46:28,700 --> 00:46:33,400
game but as bad as both of these
teams are, I'll take the dog.

752
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:36,000
I'll take points, okay?
I'm good with that.

753
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:51,900
All right, Brian going to do it,
but let's go to the dairy versus

754
00:46:51,900 --> 00:46:55,200
Corn here.
Iowa laying a slim one and a

755
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:56,800
half points, where you got
Brian.

756
00:46:58,700 --> 00:47:02,600
He is a after what I saw from
Wisconsin, I'm going to actually

757
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,500
take Iowa here.
Okay, after what I saw last week

758
00:47:06,500 --> 00:47:10,300
with this constant, I mean you
know all credit to buy you there

759
00:47:10,300 --> 00:47:13,700
but I think Wisconsin had a
chance to show something and

760
00:47:13,700 --> 00:47:16,500
they just completely scrapped
the bed, I think.

761
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:19,400
Well they're not quite the team.
We thought they were going to be

762
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,800
this year.
So I'll take Iowa, we are who

763
00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,900
they thought they were.
By the way, the over-under for

764
00:47:24,900 --> 00:47:27,700
this game, you know, you want to
guess it real quick.

765
00:47:30,500 --> 00:47:38,000
Is it under 50 is under 50.
Let me get loot, let me go 4442.

766
00:47:39,700 --> 00:47:45,100
Ah okay well it's also Iowa in
December of sure, it's probably

767
00:47:45,100 --> 00:47:48,400
going to be about 15 degrees
with a knife.

768
00:47:54,900 --> 00:47:58,900
He's got something to prove.
They've had a couple bad games

769
00:47:59,300 --> 00:48:02,200
in a season where many thought
that they would be the team

770
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:03,900
coming out of the West.
I think they're going to go try

771
00:48:03,900 --> 00:48:07,000
to prove something.
At kinnick stadium.

772
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,000
And so just as, basically a coin
flip, pick them game.

773
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,800
Anyway, I'll pick them to win
this game over the Iowa

774
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:19,500
Hawkeyes, okay?
Alright, next Braun, lets go to

775
00:48:19,500 --> 00:48:23,300
the SEC East in essentially a
battle for second place, believe

776
00:48:23,300 --> 00:48:26,100
it or not.
Where is Missouri.

777
00:48:26,100 --> 00:48:31,300
Takes on, Georgia, Georgia
laying 13 and a half points.

778
00:48:32,900 --> 00:48:35,500
I've been back and forth on this
one, you know, obviously, we got

779
00:48:35,500 --> 00:48:39,900
a connection there with Damon
Hazelton got a big game last

780
00:48:39,900 --> 00:48:45,700
week did have a very big game
last week, which, you know, that

781
00:48:45,700 --> 00:48:47,800
took him a while to get there to
do it.

782
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,000
But, you know, you know, it is
what it is.

783
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,100
I mean, you look last week at
his stat line and he goes out

784
00:48:54,100 --> 00:48:58,500
there.
R5 catches 98 yards so we'll

785
00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:00,300
see.
We'll see if he can keep that up

786
00:49:00,300 --> 00:49:05,900
against Georgia.
I just can't see, Missouri

787
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:12,500
staying with Georgia, you know,
Missouri, beat Arkansas by two

788
00:49:12,500 --> 00:49:14,100
points.
Blowout, Vanderbilt Vanderbilt

789
00:49:14,100 --> 00:49:18,500
doesn't count, but the couple of
elite teams they played this

790
00:49:18,500 --> 00:49:22,200
year.
That would be Florida.

791
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,300
In Alabama, they got waxed by
2419 poetically.

792
00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:29,800
They also lost by 23 to
Tennessee.

793
00:49:30,500 --> 00:49:33,800
I I just I feel like Georgia,
maybe feel like they're playing

794
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:37,400
for something still maybe sec.
I'll do something wild seed.

795
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:41,500
They play Texas A&M in an effort
to sneak in Texas A&M.

796
00:49:42,900 --> 00:49:46,300
You know, do the playoff Bama
Beats Florida.

797
00:49:46,300 --> 00:49:51,600
So give me you go.
Okay, I'm right there with you,

798
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:55,400
man.
I like what Mizzou is done of

799
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,500
late, but at the same time as
you've noted, when they've had

800
00:49:59,500 --> 00:50:02,100
to go up against the big dogs in
their conference.

801
00:50:02,100 --> 00:50:08,100
They've kind of not look that
great even a up and down, dog

802
00:50:08,100 --> 00:50:11,100
like Tennessee.
You know that wasn't a great

803
00:50:11,100 --> 00:50:13,600
performance.
So I just I don't trust them in

804
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,500
big games and this is a big game
for them.

805
00:50:15,500 --> 00:50:20,300
So I'm going to take oh yeah,
alright, alright, let's go to

806
00:50:20,300 --> 00:50:23,200
the biggest game in the ACC
Battle of top, 20 team.

807
00:50:23,300 --> 00:50:30,600
Is number ten, Miami 17, UNC
Miami, laying three and a half

808
00:50:31,300 --> 00:50:34,000
Miami.
Is there potential to probably

809
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:38,700
get a new year six bowl if they
pull this win out.

810
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:45,700
So if you gotta run, Oh, man,
both of these teams, despite how

811
00:50:45,700 --> 00:50:48,900
good their records are have
played games where you're like,

812
00:50:49,400 --> 00:50:53,100
ah, what, what are you doing?
And then they pull out the wind

813
00:50:53,100 --> 00:50:56,300
so it doesn't matter and then
obviously there's been a couple

814
00:50:56,300 --> 00:50:59,000
losses there for you and see
that you kind of shake your head

815
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,900
at.
But in terms of consistency, I

816
00:51:03,900 --> 00:51:07,700
like Miami a little bit better
when even when they play down to

817
00:51:07,700 --> 00:51:09,700
their competition, they
generally still keep them at

818
00:51:09,700 --> 00:51:12,000
arm's length.
Well this is a big match up.

819
00:51:12,100 --> 00:51:15,100
Or them.
You know, they showed up and

820
00:51:15,100 --> 00:51:17,900
played pretty well against us.
They showed up and played.

821
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,900
You know, decent a couple other
games, this year really

822
00:51:21,900 --> 00:51:24,500
Clemson's the only one that kind
of kind of beat them.

823
00:51:24,500 --> 00:51:27,400
Pretty good.
So, I'll take Miami in the three

824
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:30,300
and a half.
Yeah, the Clemson game, but on

825
00:51:30,300 --> 00:51:33,100
pretty good, but I mean, they
were within 11 points at

826
00:51:33,100 --> 00:51:35,900
halftime, essentially the most
people against Clemson.

827
00:51:35,900 --> 00:51:41,200
You lose it in the second half
North Carolina to me, it's just

828
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:45,700
been They lose when they're not
supposed to lose.

829
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:50,000
You know.
They lost against UVA shouldn't

830
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,100
have lost against UVA.
They lost against Florida State.

831
00:51:52,100 --> 00:51:56,200
They shouldn't have lost against
Florida State and again I really

832
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:59,200
am going to put it on there that
for Miami.

833
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,900
They blew the doors off to you
glass week, my hammy.

834
00:52:01,900 --> 00:52:04,400
Essentially, got this respect to
the insane.

835
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:09,000
Hey, when Clemson wins, and when
Notre Dame wins this week,

836
00:52:09,300 --> 00:52:12,200
they're in we're not making
anybody else play anymore.

837
00:52:12,300 --> 00:52:14,100
Games.
There's not even though they

838
00:52:14,100 --> 00:52:18,200
could have stood up and said
listen we only have one loss to

839
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:19,700
a top five team.
Yes.

840
00:52:19,700 --> 00:52:22,400
It's by multiple, you know
touchdown.

841
00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:25,500
Yeah we should still get a
chance.

842
00:52:26,700 --> 00:52:30,100
I've gotta say I'm on Miami with
this.

843
00:52:31,300 --> 00:52:39,100
Okay, I'll be right there with
me this, you know, it's close

844
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:42,500
enough to a pick them.
Where, you know, I trust Miami's

845
00:52:42,500 --> 00:52:45,200
consistency.
Shocking to say more than I

846
00:52:45,207 --> 00:52:48,100
trust you and see the play
consistently, so it's true.

847
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:53,400
But the other piece is this
unc's defense is like, swiss

848
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:58,500
cheese where the Miami defense
several times has essentially

849
00:52:58,500 --> 00:53:05,100
locked people down You see in
this game like me like 4131

850
00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:10,000
where it's a really good game
but unc's defense, just can't

851
00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:12,200
stop them.
Miami gets that one or two stops

852
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:17,300
in the awesome.
All right, folks, last game and

853
00:53:17,300 --> 00:53:24,300
to me the biggest game of the
week and rankings don't matter,

854
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:29,100
it's the Army-Navy game first
time and oh my God.

855
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:34,800
Shoot.
I lost it first time in how many

856
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:39,200
years it's going to be on campus
Because it's going to be in West

857
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:44,200
Point.
And I lost it.

858
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:52,600
I had, I'm very sorry I had this
up, um, Equity because so many

859
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:56,300
years, it's either where it's
like, Philly it will be at The

860
00:53:56,308 --> 00:53:59,300
Meadowlands sometimes.
Sometimes it'll be down at the

861
00:53:59,300 --> 00:54:01,700
Ravens Stadium, which is really
awesome.

862
00:54:02,300 --> 00:54:07,700
So, let me yeah.
Sorry, guys, this was terrible

863
00:54:07,700 --> 00:54:12,500
because I had it and then I lost
it.

864
00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:17,700
It's a long time, by the way
1983 they played in the Rose

865
00:54:17,700 --> 00:54:21,400
Bowl in.
Pasadena do not have been a

866
00:54:21,408 --> 00:54:23,600
great game to see.
Oh unbelievable.

867
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:34,800
And I'm wondering if it's like
1931 either way, it is been a

868
00:54:34,808 --> 00:54:36,900
long time since it's been played
on the campus.

869
00:54:36,900 --> 00:54:39,200
It's going to be played at West
Point which is really cool.

870
00:54:40,600 --> 00:54:46,600
And for me, Brian, Navy started
looking bad.

871
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,900
Beginning of the year, they have
really not righted, the ship

872
00:54:49,900 --> 00:54:54,800
even with a couple wins.
I've got to go Army even though

873
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,900
it's a triple option game in
Army, literally not scoring one

874
00:54:58,900 --> 00:55:01,700
possession.
Versus Navy not scoring two

875
00:55:01,700 --> 00:55:05,300
possessions could push this game
but I just I can't see that.

876
00:55:05,300 --> 00:55:09,500
I've got to go Army.
I'm with you man.

877
00:55:10,500 --> 00:55:14,000
I think Army is just been
working system this year.

878
00:55:14,100 --> 00:55:23,000
Year, Navy started the season
just and Army's been kind of

879
00:55:23,008 --> 00:55:25,000
steady Eddie.
So I'm going to take our me, I

880
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:28,600
think they're going to pull it
out as much as we hate the

881
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:31,800
triple option especially when a
team named The Yellow Jackets

882
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:34,300
run it.
Well, I love seeing it in games

883
00:55:34,300 --> 00:55:39,600
like this where it's like you
know, almost heads up so let's

884
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,000
let's let the triple option
Shine.

885
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:47,500
The flexbone shine When it's
running the way it should, it is

886
00:55:47,500 --> 00:55:52,300
a thing of beauty as annoying as
it can be for a defense and oh

887
00:55:52,300 --> 00:55:54,500
absolutely when they're when
they're humming.

888
00:55:54,500 --> 00:55:58,600
And would a couple years ago, I
can't remember what year it was

889
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,500
where.
It's like, neither one could not

890
00:56:01,500 --> 00:56:06,800
either one could stop each other
but like it was that perfect

891
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:10,800
paced game where it was just
like back forth, back forth,

892
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,900
back forth and it goes really
fast and it's just like thing.

893
00:56:14,100 --> 00:56:20,200
The beauty almost say this to if
Jeff Monken and army wins

894
00:56:21,900 --> 00:56:26,600
Vanderbilt and I know no one
who's a Vanderbilt fan, probably

895
00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:30,200
listen to us.
But Mighty who is first of all,

896
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:34,300
give them a pat on the back
because life of that Phantom and

897
00:56:34,300 --> 00:56:37,100
football has got to be just
absolutely brutal.

898
00:56:38,500 --> 00:56:42,000
It's like Duke fans been worse.
Exactly.

899
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:44,300
Go hard.
Jeff Monken.

900
00:56:45,600 --> 00:56:50,300
You will be a competitive
football team for five to ten

901
00:56:50,300 --> 00:56:54,300
years with him, running the
triple option, you will win

902
00:56:54,300 --> 00:56:57,200
somewhere between 57 and your
best years.

903
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:02,000
Eight games a year, they do it
van Dee's out there.

904
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:06,600
They've always been like going
for, you know, not splashy

905
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:08,800
hires.
But like, hires that get them

906
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,500
Pub.
I mean, you know, that's why you

907
00:57:11,500 --> 00:57:14,300
see Healy attached to probably a
lot of their rumors this this

908
00:57:14,300 --> 00:57:15,200
office.
He's a man.

909
00:57:15,700 --> 00:57:21,900
Well, so it'll be interesting.
Did you catch the Jeff Collins

910
00:57:21,900 --> 00:57:27,300
patent are doozy handshake?
No, I did not have that, man.

911
00:57:27,300 --> 00:57:35,400
Jeff Collins is my new favorite,
unless we're playing them, very

912
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:39,000
brief and jerked his hand.
Away from n��r du zi and like

913
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:45,800
took off towards the end zone
and are doozies like who Mike.

914
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:47,400
Shut up.
Fuck up.

915
00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,200
Nor do you see?
No one gives a shit about you

916
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,100
and I'm in for that Jeff Collins
right now.

917
00:57:52,100 --> 00:57:54,500
You are the man.
Are you the main columns

918
00:57:54,500 --> 00:57:57,700
yesterday are dizzy?
All right, Brian, anything in

919
00:57:57,700 --> 00:58:01,700
the smoker this weekend, this
weekend, man.

920
00:58:01,700 --> 00:58:05,500
I am doing some more smoke K.
So, we got a little little

921
00:58:05,500 --> 00:58:08,000
gathering.
We're going to Saturday evenings

922
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,900
on, make some of that.
Take that over with some.

923
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:13,300
I don't know what type of chips.
I'll get.

924
00:58:13,300 --> 00:58:19,300
I might actually Food line makes
a good good tortilla that that

925
00:58:19,300 --> 00:58:21,800
they make fresh there and house
I usually will pick up some of

926
00:58:21,808 --> 00:58:26,200
those nice man.
Nice.

927
00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:29,300
Anything breaking while we've
been sitting here the last hour

928
00:58:29,300 --> 00:58:33,400
on a Thursday night other than
laughing at in our doozy think

929
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:35,100
and he deserves a better
handshake.

930
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:41,000
Nah man, we're good.
Yeah, I'm seeing it now.

931
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:44,200
I'm seeing it.
I know I do.

932
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:50,400
The question is what in our
doozeedoo during the welding are

933
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,600
doozeedoo?
During the game is there

934
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:54,600
everything?
Dude, you know him?

935
00:58:56,300 --> 00:59:00,400
Yeah.
We've had a deal with him for

936
00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:04,400
years because he's the biggest
asshole on the sidelines.

937
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:09,400
In the ACC he is he is a fucking
asshole and a lot of time the

938
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:12,600
shit he's complaining about.
It's like dude, your team is

939
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:15,800
doing this.
It's nothing to argue about or

940
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,900
your team is not getting
interfered with.

941
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:23,900
It's like he's trying to
overplay the He's trying to

942
00:59:24,100 --> 00:59:27,300
overplay the.
I'm trying to get in their heads

943
00:59:27,300 --> 00:59:30,400
for a call later on because it
gets to a point where the rest

944
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:33,200
like, I don't care if they do
understand with him, I'm not

945
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:36,800
throwing the flag.
He's been in my ear about mom

946
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:42,500
calls because pushing of he's
pushing up, shut the hell up by

947
00:59:42,500 --> 00:59:49,000
far, maybe maybe one of the best
20 games in 2016, maybe during

948
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,200
his 10-year with because he
would not control in the face.

949
00:59:52,300 --> 00:59:55,900
I'm gonna throw the fade over
and over and over.

950
00:59:56,200 --> 01:00:00,500
I will throw the fade until you
stop it and they didn't stop it.

951
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:06,100
It was either interference or a
catch for Buffy and Isaiah every

952
01:00:06,100 --> 01:00:11,400
single time that Thursday night
in our dues, he's lost his Regan

953
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,800
every catch.
He got a little bit closer to

954
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:18,700
Madness, always wary.
And then let me last season when

955
01:00:18,700 --> 01:00:21,600
he was talking, all that shit
about, not jumping off sides in

956
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:26,400
Beaver Stadium.
We didn't jump off that night

957
01:00:26,400 --> 01:00:28,200
would probably not going to jump
off in Lane.

958
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:31,500
Well, fuck you.
Yep, that's going to happen.

959
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:32,900
That's, it's definitely going to
happen.

960
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,000
All right.
Well folks, that is going to

961
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,600
