[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Number three, Texas went on the road and defeated number 24 at Texas A&M by the score of 17 7. Texas A& M best player was Quinn Ewers. Unfortunately he's the quarterback for the Texas Longhorns. He almost gave this game away. Ocho. He almost gave it away. If Texas A and M could have done anything offensively, yeah, they beat Texas because viewers did not play particularly well last night. A bad interception. He fumbled the ball when he was going. This game should have been away put away Ocho in the third quarter.

[Ocho]

Long time, long time ago. Listen, the longhorse defense, I mean they played a critical role obviously playing they forcing turnovers, shutting out that the Aggies offense in the first half. But the Aggies obviously if they could have got something going offensively, they didn't have a chance or nor did they capitalize on any of the Turnovers that they got, the game could have, it could have been somewhat close. And the plays that they made offensively and the turnovers that not the Aggies, the turnovers that the Longhorns got, you know, they were able to capitalize and shut this game out. Now the biggest test for Texas now is that championship game, that championship game, the kind of defense Texas played tonight, this is exactly what going to need in all three phases. Whether it's offense, offensively, defensively and special teams. Because they're playing a Georgia team that dominated the first time they played up front. The battle of this game and the chances on winning this game is going to start up front with that off the line and defensive line being able to be stout on defense and the offensive line being able to hold up in that offense making the play they need to play. And Quinn errors can't make the mistakes he made tonight against a Georgia team that will capitalize and pounce on any turnovers that they have.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Yeah, you're right. Until the first time they played. Georgia went into Austin and beat them up. They just beat them up mentally, physically, emotionally. They really did some damage on him. But give Sark credit for getting these guys to bounce back. They come back and they play really, really well and they work their way back back into the SEC championship game. You're right, they got a pick six touchdown, Texas A and M. They got another force fumble and they got stopped on the goal line. See, I don't understand that. OO because you need two scores anyway. What difference. One way or another, you're going to need two scores. And you really, if you really think about Ocho, you hadn't had a whole lot of success running the football. At some point in time you got to put the guy and give him a two way go. So if the guy is not wide open running in, but if there's a throw to be made, we're going to need you to make a throw. But to just hand the ball off and just run into the line of scrimmage. Texas was waiting for that. I mean that showed me that you really don't trust. That showed me you didn't really trust. You didn't really trust your quarterback. Yeah, I don't, I understand Ocho, he is a freshman. But at some point in time, in order for you to win, we know this, no matter what the level, your quarterback's going to have to make a play, you're going to have to put the ball up, he's going to have to make a play one way or another. And you got to trust him that he's going to make a smart decision. He's going to make the right decision. He's going to make the right play. But give Texas, give Texas credit. They could. Because you could feel about that. Pick six. They go right back down there and then yours gets stripped. Sack. I mean, stripped on. He's sliding. I thought that's like, man, Texas A and M got the, got the momentum. Now they're at home. That crowd started. Brianfield started rocking. Yeah, like, you know, o. They put 108, 108,000. The house that Johnny built.

[Ocho]

Yeah, man.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

But Giftech, Gift Sark. I thought Sark did an unbelievable job. I always thought he was a very good offensive minded coach. He has great people around him to make things happen. But Texas A and M did not play. Texas A and M did not play well tonight. Oh. After NC State beat UNC 3530 at Kenan Stadium, Wolfpack safety D.K. coughlin hoped to plant the flag at midfield. But UNC wide receiver J.J. jones ran to a group of North NC State players, took the flag and threw it toward the Wolfpack bench. A brawl between the two teams broke out and the staff members attempted to break it up. Tar Heel players wouldn't leave the logo at the 50 yard line until the field cleared.

[Ocho]

Hey, rivalry week, baby. They was out there. They must, they must have been listening to Kendrick album, squabbling. Listen, hey, them, boy, was that there squabbling, you know, again, they had the opportunity to fight. They had, they had an hour, 60 minutes. They had 60 minutes to prevent this from happening, obviously. What are you going to do when you, when you win your rivalry game? You're going to celebrate. What do you normally celebrate? Whether it be basketball, whether it be football in the middle of the field where the goddamn local is. Yes, there's, there's nothing you can do about it. And I think there's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with it. And you know, you know what? A little squabbling never hurt nobody.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Yeah.

[Ocho]

Now, you know, some people say, you know, there's no place for it in the game and all this.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

I can't think of a better place for it.

[Ocho]

Exactly. And you know, honestly, can I tell you something? It makes rivalry that much more exciting and intense and you want to look for it, look forward to it the following year. Just a little bit. Ain't nobody getting hurt. Just, just a little bit. Ain't nobody getting hurt. Just a little squabbling ain't never hurt nobody. That's it Just a little bit.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

I'm trying. I just want y'all to know. I'm trying to be as disrespectful as I possibly can. Ain't no f to bus about it.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Because I want you. I want you to know. I want you to feel this. I want you to hate me. I want you to despise my team. I want you to despise me because I see that I rue the date, you know, that you came into existence. Yes. I dislike you just that much. So it ain't no secret here. Yes, I'm. Don't let me win after you've been running your mouth the whole year.

[Ocho]

Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Okay, now we got 60 minutes to settle. We get four quarters to settle it, right? I win. What you. Look, I'm let you know this. I'm a. I'm a. I'm a sore loser.

[Ocho]

Loser.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Yeah, but I'm a worse winner. I just want y'all to know. Just put that out there. Ocho, if you think I'm a bad loser, don't let me win. Right. And you better not let me win in your house.

[Ocho]

Yeah, that make it even worse.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

I'm leaving muddy work boots, man. Who shoes are these? Yeah, they mine. Yeah. I'm leaving my word money work down. Yes, absolutely, Ocho. I'm going to be as disrespectful, as blatantly, as blatantly disrespectful as I possibly can because you've been running your mouth the whole year. You've been talking the whole game, and now look at you. Now you want to fight. You. You showed more hostility after the game.

[Ocho]

After the game. Yeah.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

So what was this? Where was all the muscles? Where was all that. That. That venom that you got right now?

[Ocho]

Right?

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Get off the field.

[Ocho]

And listen. Coaches would never be able to say this. Coaches would never be able to say how they really, truly feel about small. Small skirmishes like this. You know, it's good for the game, in a sense, in the rivalry itself. No matter what. No matter what these pundits and these analysts may say. Good for the game of football. It just is. I don't know how to explain it. I can't put it into words, but I'm giving you as enough context as I can as a fan of college football, as a fan of sports in general. It makes it. That's more. That much more exciting. Especially coming up next year when you look at the calendar and the schedule come out, Michigan, Michigan, Ohio State, they gonna circle that game. Yeah, UNC and North Carolina State to play again. They gonna circle that game as one. You got to watch this.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

We circle it too. We're gonna put foots in you again on this day, on this date, a year later, foots in you again. Georgia needed eight overtimes Ocho to get the 44, 42 home win over Georgia Tech in a in a game that they were favored to win by three touchdowns. It's the first time the Bulldogs has ever come a 17 point or more deficit since 2006. It's only the second time in the past 20 seasons in which they've rallied for a 14 point deficit. In the fourth quarter, Georgia Tech had the game one. The quarterback got a first down, he got hit, he fumbled the ball. They got a seven point lead. Ojo. They got the game one. The game is one. All they gotta do is hold on to the ball. That's it. Georgia goes down in score. And eight overtimes later, it's 44, 42.

[Ocho]

You see, you think about the record, right? You see where Georgia Tech is ranked?

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Yes.

[Ocho]

You see what Georgia Tech's record is? For some, for some reason, it's like in the NFL when it comes to playing a divisional opponent. No matter how bad your season is going, for some reason. They gonna give you a game. Yeah, they gonna give you a game. I'm not sure if Texas, when Texas does watch this film on what Georgia Tech was able to do, you're not gonna sit here and tell me that Georgia Tech players up front and that skill position is that much better than those at Texas. No, I'm not buying that. And I'm not, I'm not believing it. But if they can do what they did to Georgia and making it a game till we had to go to eight overtimes, ain't no, ain't no way y'all can allow a 30 to 15 shellacking like y'all took early in the season happen the second time not in the championship game. I know better than that.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

That's gonna be a tough game because, you know, Georgia basically at home, they play in the Mercedes. Ben, that's an hour away. Oo. Do you know how much black and red is gonna be in that building now? I know. Texas travel.

[Ocho]

Oh, they travel well. They travel.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Them Georgia dogs is different home. That's. That's an owl from Athens.

[Ocho]

Yeah, but you got to think now, we talk about Texas. They travel well. It's like the Eagles or the Steelers having to play somewhere else in somebody else stadium.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

They travel well in Georgia. The Georgia Bulldogs are the Cowboys.

[Ocho]

Yeah, okay, I know, I know, I know. You're going. You're right by that. You're right by there.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Remember we having that discussion and we talk about, well, who's the most popular team in the state? What everybody say Bulldogs.

[Ocho]

Oh, yeah, yeah. Most definitely Bulldogs.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Most definitely Bulldogs. And then the Braves. And then you pick. You can pick whoever you want. You want the Falcons, you want the Hawks.

[Ocho]

Right.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

The MLS team. The Bulldogs. And them Falcons, number one Bulldogs by a long stretch. Cause the Braves used to be terrible. Awful. The Falcons was terrible. And well, we know what the Falcons.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

When they was bad. But they got time. Even when they was bad, it didn't matter. Well, it was a party. And they kept that going because now it's a party. You go to the Georgia Dome. Whereas Mercedes. Not Georgia Dome, excuse me, Mercedes Benz Dome. Now it's a party. And then when they got vicious.

[Ocho]

Oh, man, Listen, listen. The Michael, the Michael Vick era was an experience. Uncle.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

That's what they called it. The Michael Vick experience.

[Ocho]

Listen, it was an experience and you had to be there to understand. And this had to someone that didn't even play in Atlanta. I was in Cincinnati. But his time in his era was an experience. One that can't be explained.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Yep.

[Ocho]

Had you watching what he did in the past. It don't do you no justice.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

No, I was in the city. I lived.

[Ocho]

Had to be there, man. You had to be there. I don't think people understand how great Michael Vick was during that time. Especially in Atlanta. Oh my God.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

It was. It's crazy. I mean, he was. He was. He was Lamar Jackson on steroids. Yeah, he was Lamar Jackson on steroids. And we know how good. Lj, He's a two time mvp. He's one of the top two quarterbacks in football. He's one of the three or four best players in all of football. And I'm not saying he's two or three, but boy, hey, Michael Vick was.

[Ocho]

It's different. It's different. A lot of people won't understand it because the first thing they'll go to is they'll go to numbers and they'll dissect.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ocho]

Listen, we not debating that. Yeah, we not. But they debating that. But when Michael Vick was playing, when Mike had the, when he had the ball in his hands, you had to be there. The kind of player, you know, you just hold your breath. When Reggie Bush was at usc. He's the kind of player with the ball in his Hands. You hold your breath because you don't know what the f gonna happen. When Peter War was at Florida State and the ball was coming his way or they punt return or they threw him a hitch or something, you hold your breath. You don't know what the hell finna happen.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Big was. He was, he was something special, man. Stanford is bringing back one of its school's legend, Andrew Luck to work as a general manager of the football program. Her ESPN Pete Famel Luck accepted a position that will put him in charge of the entire program. And it's considered a distinct evolution from one of the traditional roles of a college general manager. And a phone interview with Famel Luck confirmed his new job. And the role involves everything Stanford football touches, football wise and business wise. He will also help with fundraising, securing sponsorships, increasing attendance and alumni relationships. Do you like that, Ocho?

[Ocho]

Hey, I love the move. I love the move. Especially putting someone like Andrew Luck in that position. Someone who's had sex, excuse me, someone who's had success, you know, at the NFL level, short tenure obviously due to the injuries, but he's a perfect candidate for this. He's a perfect person. He's a great, I hate using the word mascot representative for Stanford. What he was able to do and accomplish during his time there. Now with this idea, now you know how I am. I'm all about business, I'm all about branding, I'm all about marketing. Now I'm thinking in turn for myself and being able to add another job and diversify my portfolio. What do you think about me becoming a GM of two college programs that I can think of that are dear to my heart, where I can also help in the same areas that Andrew Luck is going to help at Stanford. Either me getting a GM role at Oregon State, you know, where I can do the same things and offer the same responsibility and be offered the same responsibilities that Andrew Luck is or general manager at famu? Let me know.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

It's a full time job. You're not gonna give up. You're not going to give up your other job. That's a full time job. Okay, bacon lovers, let me tell you something amazing about Oscar Meyer's big cut bacon. Now, I don't know if you've used a smoker before, but it's a real labor of love. You've got to put time in to get that rich, smoky flavor. Now think about this. Oscar Meyer smoked their bacon for 12 hours. That's half a day, twice as long as most bacon is smoked. So for that savory smoky thick cut bacon. Keep it Oscar Listen.

[Ocho]

I can do all.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

I'm not saying that you can't, but I'm saying that you can't do those other things. That's what I'm saying. Yeah, I know. You could do it. You're charismatic, you're relatable, you can get out there in front of the people. Yes, absolutely. You know how to smooth. Yes. Yeah, but you can't do those other things. That's the problem. Damn.

[Ocho]

Okay, well, that's off the table.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

That's off the table.

[Ocho]

But I mean, that's off the table. But.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

But.

[Ocho]

Kudos. Kudos. Kudos to Andrew Luck. I think this is going to be good for Stanford. I'm not sure if he can change the landscape of that team as far as the visibility is there. Everyone knows who you are. But in order to bring those students in that you need, you already know. You know, you already know what they waiting on.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Oh, Joe, you gotta understand, a lot of those guys that go to Stanford, they trying to be doctors, they're trying to be lawyers, they try to be businessmen. If I happen to go to the NFL, that's fine. And good time with me.

[Ocho]

Right.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

But I've tried to be a finance major. Econ. I've tried to be E Commerce, bro. I mean, come on. Bro. Yeah, but do you understand? Look, you go to Stanford, you go to schools like the bro. What you Georgia Tech.

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Do you know what their missions are to get into a place like that?

[Ocho]

Oh, yeah. Oh yeah. Most definitely. Most definitely.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Listen, every once in a while you'll get a John Elway. Every once in a while you'll get a Christian McCaffrey. Or you'll get a. I think John lynch went to Stanford.

[Ocho]

Hell, you get Andrew.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Lucky Andrew, look.

[Ocho]

Right.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

But you're talking about 50 years and I named four players, right?

[Ocho]

Yeah, you're right.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

So you, you, everyone, think about it. Think about John graduated in 83. Think about before you got another Andrew Luck. How long was that?

[Ocho]

Long time.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Oh, and then you got a Christian McCaffrey, bro. Yeah. And you, hey, them guys ain't getting no general, no generals. General studies degree. John was a finance major. He was either finance or econ. Economics. Look at those degrees that they get. No joke. I got me a degree in eligibility. I'm trying to stay eligible.

[Ocho]

Right.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

I'm trying to play. Hey, it's hard because school with the academia like that. Yeah, that's a. You go to Notre Dame, Mocho.

[Ocho]

The standard is different. The standard is different. It's almost as if academic come first.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

It does.

[Ocho]

Who's like Stanford? Yes, the Dame, amongst others. You know, it's understandable because their biggest.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Alums are not athletes. Nah, there are your Larry Ellison's, they're your. What's the guy, your Zuckerberg. Not saying they went there, but I'm saying they're guys like that, those famous alums, they win Pulitzer prizes, they win Nobel priest prizes in econ and mathematics.

[Ocho]

Right, right, right.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

So their biggest alumni, like a lot of other schools, maybe their biggest alumni are athletes. And there's nothing wrong with that. But I'm saying when you go to places like Georgia Tech and you go to places like Stanford, you go to Cal Berkeley. You do realize why you're here, right? Yeah, let's, let's, let's not lose sight of the. We got it with a. What do they always say? Ocho, you hear a lot of athletes say, just keep the main thing. The main thing. When you go to a school like that, the main thing is the main thing.

[Ocho]

Yeah, most definitely. It's not, it's not a stepping. It's not a stepping stone to the NFL. Now if I Happen to make it based on the work that I put in here.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Yes.

[Ocho]

And I'm able to fall back on that and still have my plan A, which is my academics and whatever my major may be, whether it be econ, whether it be finance, so be it. Yes, so be it.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

In the last home game at Folsom Field, in front of the home crowd, Travis Hunter and Shadour Sanders put on a show.

[Ocho]

They did.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Colorado demolished Oklahoma State 52 to nothing to keep their slim playoff hopes alive. Prime told Colorado going to respond after the 3721 loss. The Buffaloes didn't just respond, they obliterated the opposition. It was Colorado's long largest margin of victory since beating the Gophers, the Minnesota Gophers, 58 to nothing in 1991. Shador Sanders was 34 of 41, 438, five touchdowns and an interception. Shador. Excuse me. Travis Hunter, 10 catches, a buck 16, three touchdowns, a pick, two pass breakups. They had. Yeah, Travis was no shadow. Was 31 of 41, 438, five touchdowns, one interception. Webster Wester, excuse me. Had 11 catches, a buck 75, two touchdowns. Travis Hunter, 10 catches, 116, three touchdowns. I think his name is Will Shepard. Has six catches for 67 yards. I like this because this is what prime knew. Prime knew that their Boise State was going to try to give Genti as many carries as he could handle and let him try to get as many yards he can. And he says, I'm not gonna let y'all. I'm not. I'm not gonna just get up a big and take my dogs. Call my dog Trav. Stay out there. Cause I want them to. I want them to. I let them know just how great you are. Can I interest you in 10 for a buck 16 and three touchdowns? Can I interest you on a pick? Can I interest you in two pass breakups? Can I interest y'all in that?

[Ocho]

Yeah.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

He left no doubt at all. No doubt that he's going to win the Heisman Trophy in December. What is that, the first week of December? So that's next Saturday, isn't it? It's normally the first Saturday. It's normally the first Saturday in December. December 14th. They backed it up. Okay. Oh, yeah. Because, you know they got. They got conference play now, right? Yeah, conference. So conference play would be next weekend. Yeah, I. There's no question in my mind. He's the best college player. Look. And there's nothing. Look, Aston Jent has had an unbelievable season. 2000. What is he at 2000. And is he at 2020? Was it 2086? Well, we know Barry, Barry. Barry rushed for 26, 25 and 11 games and he had another 225 yards and five touchdowns in the Holiday bowl that they didn't count that. So he would have been over 2800 yards and over 40 touchdowns in 12 games, which, I mean, think about how much, how many yards you would literally. You would literally have to rush for like 250 yards a game ojo to beat that. 2, 2, 8, 8. So he has 20. He has 2288 yards and he has the conference championship next week. Right. Okay, so Barry's 26, 25, 26, 28. So he's about what, 350, 340 something yards. 334, 340. But I love what I saw from Colorado. 340, man. Ocho, if they could have just got cav is now they're going to the, the big 12th championship game with a chance to go. No question. They're going to the, what you call them, they'll be going to the College Football Playoff.

[Ocho]

So now they have. They have to rely on two. Two or three teams to lose. Iowa, if I'm not mistaken, is it Iowa. Iowa State?

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

I think it's Iowa State.

[Ocho]

Yeah. So hopefully, hopefully everything goes in their favor and they, they make it, make it to the playoffs. I think they can. They can, they can cause some hell now. They can cause some hell and cause some havoc depending on who they matched up with. So here's the hope. And they do make it.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Yeah, he could. He could easily. But how many games have we played? 12, 13. He played 12 games. He's played 12 games. So he's already played one more game. I don't think he's getting 340. Who do they play? Who did they play? Okay. Yeah. And they go play in the college. They got, got, got, got play a game in the College Football Playoff and they're going to give as many carries as he needs. I can see that. I can see that. So he needs a 100 because if they. What, what, what if they lose this game, do you think they make the College Football Playoff? Who. But who could it possibly be.

[State Farm Marketing Rep]

Man?

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

How the Colorado State and what you call them beat the brakes off there. Yeah, yeah. So they're guaranteed at least two more games, Ocho. And so he's probably going to need. He's going to need 340 yards in two games. And there haven't been very many games this Year that he's gotten held under 170 yards. And I think this is why. I think this is why prime left his guys, right? That he's like, look, no, no, no, no, no, no. I know it's 35, nothing to. So we're gonna finish this. We gonna finish this thing now. And Travis, his last game at Folsom Field. Nobody in Colorado is gonna, gonna not for not remember him. They're gonna remember him forever. You can make the case he's the greatest college Colorado player ever. I mean, Cordell, Rashad Salam, Brian Byron, Rizzle White, he was a chief, he was a supreme court justice. He went there. But it's hard. They had Westbrook, they've had some great defenders. You know, they had Alfred, Alfred Williams and they have Hudson and they had a lot of different guys. Eric B. Enemy, J.J. flanagan. They've had some guys, but it's gonna be hard to say that they've been a better player than Travis Hunter. No.

[Hypnotic Marketing Rep]

Hell.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

Wow. George is losing what, 17, nothing. Georgia Tech.

[Ocho]

Let me remove that. No, because if I turn that on, I'm gonna be looking to my left. Don't worry about it.

[Voice of Sports Commentary]

But Shador threw the ball exceptionally well today. 34, 41, 438 set. He. He broke his own record. He had the most touchdown passes in a single season. He upped that now. What's he at now like 34. He most passing yards in a single season. I think he broke Coy Dettmort's record back in the mid-90s when he was playing for Rick Neuhysel. Yeah, he said an all time single season passing record. The previous record was 3,527yards set by Corey Detmer with another game to play. So he has an opportunity to move that even further. Ocho. Travis Hunter, he had already. He was the Heisman front runner. And today was his most impressive game of his career. A three touchdown performance, a one interception, a couple of pass breakups. Hunter had 10 catches for 116 yards, three touchdowns. His fourth interception on the season. With the regular season in stat book. Offensively he had 92 receptions, 1152 yards, 14 receiving touchdowns, one rushing touchdown. On defense, he had four interceptions. With a lot of quarterbacks not even throwing in his direction. He is the best collegiate player in football. We've never seen a guy that could do what he did on both sides of the ball. The volume.
