Week seven man in the books. Absolutely wacky. Every weekend's gonna be wacky. That's what's man. That's what so much fun. Like I had so much adrenaline right now just watching these late games. Just you don't know what's going to happen. But I think it started earlier in the day though. Indiana. Just saying. Allow me to introduce myself like in Sig We Trust. I mean Signetti. Unbelievable man. Just like the Signetti effect. Indiana dude. Oh, and 46 in top five games on the road. Some people kind of think that Indiana was cute last year. They were. They were a pretty good team. They're better this year. I mean we talked about the experience. They were more physical than Oregon. They were better on the line of scrimmage than Oregon. Like, just think about that for a second. Like, it was, it was very interesting to watch that. I didn't think they'd hold up. I thought Oregon would be able to run the football, but they were absolutely able to hold up. They ran the football at them. They, the second half they did a really good job protecting their quarterback and affecting Dante Moore. Dante Moore was sacked one time coming into this game. You want to know how good Indiana's defense is? Indiana got him six times. Dante Moore had one pick coming into this game. Dante Moore had two picks in this game. Like, Indiana is absolutely for real. We've been talking about him this year and when you look at their schedule going forward, it's going to be nice. Like, it's going to be real nice. We, we talked about it last week with Oregon and how good they were looking. Oregon had 40 yards in the second half against Indiana, 41. And we talked about Oregon and we talked about where could they possibly be attacked, where could they be vulnerable. We talked about the cornerback position. Freshman, redshirt freshman. Indiana attacked him out wide. They attacked him out wide like crazy. Great timing out wide. But you also see Mendoza's got a hose man like a good arm. Surratt was by far the best player on the field today. Like he was the best playmaker for, for both sides, whether it was Oregon or he and Mendoza on the same page, making plays, big time to watch. Oregon couldn't find a way to get it going because they couldn't protect their quarterback. Like that was their, their big issue. And Oregon's stock now and their, their resume that you look at. Like we kind of said Penn State, like, that's a great game. Great barometer going across the country. Penn State lost again. Like they lost again. They're, they're one of a few teams in the history of college football to be 20 point favorites in back to back weeks. And it's not pretty either because Drew Aller actually is out for the, for the rest of the season too with an injury. But it was a, it was a great win for Indiana. It was, it was a, it was a great game back and forth, but Indiana made the plays. They even handled. I thought they handled the adversity of the game really good too because Oregon couldn't get anything going, like I said in the second half. And then what happened? They get the pick six, tie the game up. Indiana's like been here, done that, bought the T shirt and hat and didn't, didn't get overwhelmed the moment, didn't get too big and they're going to be a problem man, because the way they protected up front their quarterback, the way they can run the football and have enough balance the receivers that can win out wide right away. And then you saw in this game, one thing that you, that you better take note of that I think will be big moving forward for Indiana. Like Fernando Mendoza can run the football when they need him to. In big moments they can call QB draw. And he is a big horse. Like he's a big strong dude with enough athletic ability. He can run the zone, read like he did and pull it like those short yarded situations when everything gets very condensed and tight and you need that first down to get it going again. He absolutely can do it. He absolutely can do it. So two top, top 10 wins. I mean that's, that's incredible. Signetti taking care of business. I think the stat I wrote down earlier today, like in the last hundred, like last sixty years of, of Indiana football, they had like seven weeks in the top ten. He's got nine. Brent, he's got nine in the, in his first ten in his tenure at at Indiana. And Indiana's legit man. Now you talked about putting Oregon in and Penn. What do you put. What are you doing with, with and Oregon's not out by any stretch of the imagination. Oregon's very much in this thing. But what are you doing with Indiana now? Are you. I think them in the playoff and Penn now.
- [06:34]
Brent Skaggs
Oh yes, 100%. I think they are one of those. Ohio State, Miami, Indiana. Those are my three teams at least. Now Oregon's got a few things that they have to take care of. But you were talking about the top 10 piece. Sig has two top 10 wins in the last three weeks. Franklin has two top 10 wins in nine years.
- [07:02]
College Football Analyst
Is that good?
- [07:03]
Brent Skaggs
That, that's, that's not good for one side if you're a Penn State fan. But just the response from Mendoza after the interception, the response from their team because everything at that point was pushing the chips into the Oregon bucket home field. Just tied it up with a pick six. All that and they go 12 plays like 75, 75 yards for a touchdown. Mendoza on that drive was 5 of 7 for 62 yards in the touchdown to Surratt. And like you said, Surratt was the best player on the field.
- [07:36]
College Football Analyst
Best player on the field, dude, the whole game close. Like he, he, he went out wide consistently and, and you talked about that drive. Every drive for Indiana was like that though, Brent. Like every drive was 11, 12 plays they have. They have such good balance and they got a quarterback that can sling it out wide. They just want to win right away. Like, they'll take all of that stuff. And I can't believe defensively though, I can't believe how much they. Like, I didn't see Oregon's speed. Like, Oregon's got speed all over the place. And you watch them and the tempo bothers people. And Dante Moore has one of the best pump fakes in all of college football, where he does the dead leg and he goes like. Indiana was perfectly okay with that because up front they were whooping Ace. Like they were kicking Ace. And you know what? They got a bunch of guys that never freaking stop. They never stop. They literally just keep rushing. If they get blocked, they keep going. You got to stab them to kill them.
- [08:29]
Brent Skaggs
They.
- [08:30]
College Football Analyst
They're really well coached on both sides of the line of scrimmage. And they absolutely give. They give you nothing. Absolutely nothing.
- [08:37]
Brent Skaggs
And they do it unlike really any defense. And Gary Danielson, which, you know, we've talked to Gary on the, on the here before. Yeah, you could just feel the energy of, hey, I actually get to call a big game again. In his voice, like how dialed he was for that game to be on cbs. But he kept pointing out, and it was rightfully so, how much. Indiana lives in their base personnel with four down and three backers. And those three backers are so good to be able to handle the screening.
- [09:08]
College Football Analyst
The RPOs, they clean up everything that's. Well, that's unique.
- [09:12]
Brent Skaggs
That's a unique thing in college football.
- [09:14]
College Football Analyst
But they also do a really good job of. And it's built in. You can tell they do a really good job even on first downs, the way they pressure the passer, they have the natural ability to loop. Like they'll start getting going a direction and then they know they can loop, they can twist. They do such a good job getting free. But like Mendoza, I can't tell you many times I counted just back there in the pocket like this chilling. And Penn State, you didn't have that time against like Penn State didn't. Like they were. They were eating Penn State's offensive line for breakfast. Like it was actually kind of dinner. What it was like lunch dinner. But. But they just kept getting pressure on the quarterback. Their stunts, Oregon stunts murdered Penn State. Murdered Penn State. Indiana was good, man. Now listen, Indiana still has a lot of things will have to go right for them, specifically the injury bug. Like they can't get guys nicked up at the receivers because they don't want the receivers, they don't have the depth. But. But having multiple guys out wide that can win, having a quarterback that can spin it, that they can throw it like Indiana is in a really, really good spot. And it's fun to watch a team that has very little history that like all of a sudden now can kick it in gear, can build it in one year and now sustain it in year two in a very similar way.
- [10:29]
Brent Skaggs
And no spot on the field is off limits because of Mendoza's arm. Like all the, all the stuff that they can do with the RPOs, like, that's just. It makes you that much tougher to defend because of his arm.

Hook them because the Red River Shootout because we can still call it that because we don't have people that yell at us and take anything away from us. The the Thumb Heard around the world how is the Thumb going to hold up? Is John Mateer going to play? Honestly didn't think he would play. I honestly thought that it would back up. But he got in the game. He spun the ball exceptionally well off his hand and it went everywhere. It was not accurate. It was not John Mattier. You could tell he was. He was doing a good job of protecting himself. But man, he got hit early and often. He got hit a lot, man. Like he got hit a whole lot. And I would say a whole lot more than I would have been comfortable with if I was the coach. I'd have been like, especially late in the game. I would have absolutely taken him out. But here's the thing to remember, and here's why picks are never picks, can't always be right. But Texas, they look like a program that's a proud program, that's told. They've been told they sucked and they've been backed in a corner. A rivalry game and they played with freaking emotion. Like they flew around. They played physical like for the first time this season. Let's give Sark some credit to the ball. Fricking came out like yes. I feel like this is what this offense should have looked like from the beginning. Arch Manning, he's been getting destroyed. He's been getting hit. Like we've been talking about that like three screenplays on the first drive. Heck of a heck of an idea. Oklahoma, we talked about likes to bring pressure. They like to be aggressive, like counteract some of that. Wisner was incredible. Wisner was abs. He was the guy from last year. That's what we saw from him a year ago was breaking tackles. Like simple checkdowns are not supposed to go as Far as they did. But because Wisner was making things happen, it was, it was fun to see. Again, it started slow. Texas didn't look good early, but, but, but they, they kicked it in gear a little bit. And Brent, they changed the tempo. That's what they did. They went no huddle. They. They drew them off sides a couple times with hard counts when they went no huddle. And then playmakers made plays, including Arch Manning. Arch Manning scrambling, running, getting outside the pocket. He made a couple of throws that you just go. That was pretty solid, like growing to his right near the sideline, going to his left middle. He. He made, he made a bunch of really, really nice praise and credit to Arch Manning for doing this when the world was doing this. You suck. And throwing tomatoes at him and telling how bad he was across the country. What, what a big win for a program that showed you, like, if you want to doubt us and you want to bury us, like, you better back the funk up.
- [15:45]
Brent Skaggs
Well, think about the game right before half. Like it's six to three Oklahoma before half. And they completely butcher any sort of time and clock management. Instead of being up 9:3 into the. At minimum up 9:3 going into the half. And then Texas comes out with the drive to open the second half. And because in the first half I'm watching that, I'm like, Arch scrambling is basically their offense. Nothing's going to happen unless he's scrambling and making plays.
- [16:14]
College Football Analyst
One Wisner run for 40 yards. That was it.
- [16:16]
Brent Skaggs
That was about it.
- [16:17]
College Football Analyst
That was literally it.
- [16:19]
Brent Skaggs
But then they ran, you know, then the botching of the end of the half and then running the football in the second half and then it opens up greatly. But you talked about Arch. He'd been a. They've been a screen team about 15 of the time coming the game. They were quarter. The time in this game. So up, up that big time. Time to throw 2.8 seconds out in that or so right around there in this game was over three seconds coming into the season. I mean he was pressured almost at least first run. Look at it. Almost 50% of his drop backs and he was only sacked twice. Like he. Well, they made plays. They ran the ball. They did. They. That was a. About to say they needed that in every way, shape or form.
- [16:58]
College Football Analyst
Well, the others made plays. The others did a really good job in this Texas game. We talk about the defense. The defense absolutely played great. Turning him over ad nauseam with. With all the interceptions on Mater, flying around, pressuring, stopping the run. And then what else needs to happen how about special teams? How about a punt return? 75 yard punt return by Niblett like to kind of put the game on ice. But it was long drives, man. Like, it wasn't. It wasn't big explosive plays from Texas. It was death by a thousand cuts. We've seen that recipe from Sark. Like, we needed to see that throughout this season. Like manufacture it, man. It can't always be pretty. It's tight end screens, it's. It's whatever it takes to get like, design runs by Arch. You saw that that needed to happen. But other guys stepping up and Wisner was the main guy. Wisner was the player of the game for Texas because he is the one that kept him on schedule, that made the big plays, that gave them a chance to kind of hang around. And then they put those. Shoot. They. Oklahoma had five plays that they ran in the third quarter. Five plays. Like, that's absolutely incredible. That's a great job by Texas playing keep away, using the tempo game, using screens and just doing a great job of continue to follow it up and start dialing up some football plays. That. That had to be done. So Oklahoma's. Oklahoma is interesting to me now, like, because their schedule is miserable. Like, their schedule is absolutely miserable. It was clear material wasn't great. It was clear. It's clear Mater was not himself. And so if he's not himself, that's the problem because he's the guy that runs, he's the guy that scrambles. He's the guy that makes this whole thing go with his feet and with his ability to create and be creative. They can't run the football otherwise. Like, they just can't, man. Like, they. Their offensive line had more another injury today. They're banged up. They don't win a ton out wide like, Mater has to be 100% matier if Oklahoma wants to continue to win like they've got to. And the defense obviously, you know, not used to giving up big plays, but they got worn down a little bit too. And because Texas made plays continue to move the ball down the field, they got worn out. Then they got the back breaker, another reffing miss. By the way, the punt return, the 75 yard clear clip. Like absolute clear block in the back. Like, we're saying this a lot about refs and specifically the SEC refs. I mean. And then I thought the ending of it was fantastic because Arch just gives a little wave. I thought that was great. I'm here for that stuff. I know some of y' all don't like that. I love that. And Texas has an opportunity now to save their fricking season. Like, they got the big win. Their schedule is not Murderers Row like Texas. It's still, it's still difficult. They're going to have to come to Athens. Obviously, they'll have A and M at the end of the year. Like, they'll have a couple of really tough games down the stretch. But now getting the offense going, the defense is pretty consistent week in and week out. I think the Florida game was more of a blip than anything else. So now Texas with a great opportunity to, to save their season. First of all, they, they, they partially, you know, they dent Oklahoma's, which is fantastic. They got the golden hat. Like, they get to plop that puppy on and then ruin, you know, the rivalry game. Because, because no matter how good Oklahoma is, Texas is still like, yep, we still got you. Like, we still took care of business. And so that's, that's, that's unfortunate for Oklahoma fans, but Matier's got to get healthy and everything will be fine. All right. We found a baller app, guys.

Now on to Auburn, Georgia, Auburn. This was, this was. This was the weirdest, strangest. I don't even know how to describe this game at one point. Like, okay, it's not the Georgia Dogs anymore. It's the Cats because they got more lives. They got nine lives. Like, Georgia just keeps finding a way to survive. Like, it's unbelievable. The slow start continues, right? Like another slow start. Auburn doing what they want out the gate. Auburn's plan, we talked about having two weeks to prepare. Their plan was beautiful, man. Their plan was absolutely beautiful. What do we do well? What don't we do well? Let's major in what we do well. Let's minor in what we don't do well. Let's not get in third and long because we're not very good. Come out. Run, run, run. Your quarterback spit the ball in the perimeter. I get one on one shots with eight. I'm going to take advantage. Auburn comes out the gates and they were smoking. Like, couldn't have gone better up and down the field. First drive, 14 plays, third down, four or four. Like, this is the team that like went 1 for 23 on third downs the couple weeks before. And they took care of business. Everything going Joe Auburn's way, 10 to nothing. Auburn moving the ball down the field. They had 26 plays in the first quarter. Georgia had like five, four or five, like some kind of ridiculous number like that. And then they're going in the score with two minutes left in the half. Going to reach the ball over the goal line. And Jackson Arnold gets called for a fumble. Interesting, all the replays. Interesting to hear all the takes and the analysis. Brent, I want to hear yours. But like, if you watch the replay without a lens, I don't watch things with a Georgia filter. I don't. You don't either. Like, I watch things with football. And if you watch the replay and you say, when does the ball start to move a little bit? Now here's the thing. We got all this money in this sport and we can't get a better picture than that. That's some bullshit. Like, that's some bull crap. We can't get like HD down the line that you can zoom in 65,000 times. I'm going to leave it there. Okay, fine. I'm not going to talk about that. But to me, two things happen. Two Georgia players came in. The first one's hand gets in on the football accidentally and I think the ball moves. I think the ball moves. And then the next guy comes in and punches it. And the ball clearly comes out. And then Georgia scoops it. The guy's not down, he turns and runs. It very easily could have been a touchdown and then it would have been even crazier in that stadium. But I thought it was a fumble and I thought the ball. Jackson Arnold should have taken care of the football better. I see where there's a back and forth. I see where there's question, but I thought the ball was moving and then I thought the Georgia. Second Georgia player completely knocked it out. Clear recovery. What did you see? Because that's what I saw. But listening to the broadcast, listening to our Buddy Booger and all them, it was like that wasn't even an option. It was like this was the worst call in the history of the world.
- [24:30]
Brent Skaggs
I thought the play before was more of a touchdown than the fumble than how it was. But you couldn't overturn the play before because the, the camera was all blurry where it was elbow down and why.
- [24:43]
College Football Analyst
Do we have blurry cameras?
- [24:44]
Brent Skaggs
I know.
- [24:45]
College Football Analyst
9,000 millions.
- [24:46]
Brent Skaggs
I thought that play was a touchdown. I was like, oh, that's a touchdown. And then that the next play happens.
- [24:52]
College Football Analyst
And Jason Davis, homer alert in the chat. Sean Walker, I appreciate you calling him out and saying you don't listen to the pot if you think I'm a homer. Appreciate that, brother. Sorry.
- [25:01]
Brent Skaggs
Continue. Oh, neat. Yeah, we are not homers. That is. That is for certain. But I agree, like, and then the one with. I think it was the pylon cam maybe that they zoomed in where you saw the sort of first punch where it was trying to tackle and then it's loose, like his hands are there. And I even saw like a still shot on social media where a line was drawn. Something like that. Yeah. But the ball is coming out at that point and you can't say, especially. Especially since they called it a fumble to begin with. That's the. If they would have called it a touchdown to begin with, they probably would have kept it. A touchdown kind of thing. But I never heard a whistle was the main thing. I was shocked that, I mean, I guess they just said, okay, it's. We kind of paused and everybody stopped. So we're just going to stop and give them both.
- [25:45]
College Football Analyst
I think if the Georgia player doesn't run to the sideline and runs, keeps going, like, right away, I think they might like, instantly. Touchdown. But it was a tags. I promise we're going to get to Bama. We're coming up on Bama, but right now we're talking about the Auburn game and it was just whack. But, but the thing is, the thing is the ACC does that, that, that under the hood thing. I would have loved to hear that one. That one would have been fantastic. Like, I would have loved to. To get under the hood. Heard about it. Fix the freaking cameras. That's a bunch of baby back bullshit. We got to see better than that. That's not acceptable. That's not acceptable for a sport where you're putting your blood, sweat and tears. It can't come down to fuzzy, fuzzy fricking photos like bull crap. That's got to be fixed. I'm not going to have that. We. We need to fix that. But from that point on, Auburn, like, literally just like, put your toe on the table, pull out the shotgun and just pow, Take a toe, bro. Like, I mean, you could not. And you could see. You could see Hugh freeze going into the half. And I am absolutely with him. I. I'd be pissed. Hugh. Everything that Happened all the stoppages. It was nuts. But my goodness, man, like, penalty after penalty after penalty. They had nine penalties at the half. Like, you. You got a bad break, Auburn, if you think you got a bad break. I actually think it was the right call. You gotta. You gotta bow up now. Like, stop them back on their own den. Get a stop before the half, roughing the passer. Like all. You have three or four flags on that drive. Like you. You did. You did. You did that. Then it's 10, three, and you never recovered. And that's the problem. Auburn, you go into half, you're upset and. And you think everybody's out to get you. The stoppages sucked. The game was terrible in that aspect. Way too many reviews. Like, we need to get.
- [27:32]
Commercial Voice
We.
- [27:33]
College Football Analyst
We can't have that many reviews in a row. That was crazy. But. But you've got to bounce back. You can't let one play turn to two, turn to three. Because that's, to me, is the reason why Georgia won this football game is because Auburn never recovered. Like, they had penalties again. They had 10 plus penalties again for three straight conference games. One of the first to do that in a long time. Like, big plays. The big plays in this game, when Auburn had an opportunity to make them every single time in the second half, they failed. Deep shot to Singleton down the field. Got a chance. Jackson Arnold overcooks it. He lays out. That was absolutely great effort. How about the 4th and 2? 4th and 1. Auburn has a great opportunity again. Jackson Arnold throws a little too high. The tight end can't get it. Like, these are plays that lead to points. And Auburn and Georgia just grounded you out. And Georgia, I think, found a little bit more offense, too. Like, I loved what they did offensively because they couldn't block Auburn. Like, they could not block them. So they're like, all right, they're bringing pressure from everywhere. We got to protect gunner. Let's go a little bit more. Keep a tight end in. Let's go a little bit more. Max protect. Let's use our size out wide and let's take shots like Colby Young. Hey, Noah Thomas is in a Georgia uniform. Did y' all know that? Because I didn't know that until today. Like, I didn't know he was Oscar delp sighting like that. I think Georgia fans like Kobe Young making a big play, like that's what you wanted to see. Like that. So Georgia does what Georgia. And that's why. That's why you pick Georgia. Like, I knew Auburn had a great chance to win this football game, but Georgia finds a way to win games. Nationwide is so much more than a great insurance company.

They're a day walker. Georgia is every movie you've ever seen with vampires in it that they just keep getting shot and they. And they just walk forward, and it's like they're limping. And his shoulders like this. And then they get shot again and they go like this. And then they. And then they go like this when they're really calling a timeout on the sideline. Brett, that was a little suspect. Kirby. Kirby played him a little bit on that.
- [31:58]
Brent Skaggs
He deked him, and then it showed him calling timeout like, that was so ridiculous. That was unreal. But him. But I have to read you. So on UJ Sports, we have to do a prediction on Friday. I have to read you how I wrote this. Zero confidence in anything related to this game. No outcome would shock me in the end, Georgia somehow finds a way to win. This outcome actually kind of shocked me because it was so bad.
- [32:23]
College Football Analyst
You didn't think you could be shocked. No.
- [32:25]
Brent Skaggs
But the point you made about handling it, that's the entirety of all of this. And instead of just being like, hey, they screwed up. Move on. Next play. Next play. And I'm sure there's an element to that. You could just see it in there that it probably did carry over into the halftime, as opposed to a true just, boys, we're killing them, just keep killing them kind of thing. But the other part about this game is I'm watching this game at a certain point in the middle of the third quarter, in some part in the third quarter, I'm like, these are two extremely talented teams with very average to below average quarterbacks. And. But Gunner made plays in the end and Jackson Arnold didn't. And there's your difference in the game.
- [33:09]
College Football Analyst
Yeah. Brent Skaggs. I. I tried to. I tried to share his right there. That's the first time in forever. Can y'. All. Can y' all see that now? Because we're going to share this. That's the first time in forever Auburn hasn't gotten most of the calls, I guess, at home. Okay, that's a stipulation. That's fine. But if you watch the Oklahoma game, Auburn fans would like a word because several calls, the fumble pickup for the touchdown, the. The. The illegal play on Oklahoma. They've gotten some. They've gotten some bad ends as some calls. And I think that's why Hugh was so animated, and I think that's why he was so, you know, ticked off, because you. You feel like you've had so much of that, and it's been so annoying that you. You just. You just want to do better. But, like, the. The misses, the missed opportunities, I mean, Auburn could easily have such a better Ready. Have such a better record. They're a good football team. They've got good playmakers.
- [34:00]
Brent Skaggs
It's extremely talented team.
- [34:02]
College Football Analyst
Supremely talented. Their offensive line played Brett better, but Georgia made plays. They got down 10 to nothing. They come storming back and missed a field goal. Did all that. All right on the Bama on to. I feel like that's Belichick right on to. Onto the next week. Missouri had a good chance. Bama just. Let's. Let's just bask in this Bama fans, because you should be jacked out your mind. Like, you should be super excited about what just happened and you're probably going to be like, well, we beat Missouri. We always beat Missouri. Three weeks in a row, three ranked opponents, three straight dubs. Like taking care of freaking business. Like, are they the hottest team in the country now? Like, obviously the. The hottest one loss team for sure. There's not a better resume. There's not a better. A better three stretch window than what they just did. Like, that doesn't happen. That's only happened five. That's only. There's their fifth team in SEC history to do that against three ranked teams. And Missouri got it going, exactly what they needed. Bama Deferred. Missouri goes six plays, 78 yards, never has a third down. Bang, bang, bang. Got Hardy going on the ground, got Prabula going on the ground and hit north Fleet, the big tight end. Like, and it was like, oh my gosh. Like, that was. That was really cool. That was a great start. Now everybody's jacked up. And then they got Ty Simpsons Simpsoned. That's a new. That's a new verb. You got Ty Simpson. That's what we're going to say from now on because this dude, man, I've seen enough. Like, I'm ready to fight anybody who doesn't put him in the debate for the best player in the country because he's just so good. And why do I say that? Because you're. As a defensive guy, I'm all about, like, trying to find ways to make you unsuccessful when I watch you. Ty Simpson's annoying. If I'm a pass rusher, like, I'm exhausted because I get home, he steps up in the pocket, slithers, throws the football. If I'm a pass rusher, they do a lot. They do a good job of getting him on the move. If I'm a pass rusher, they get the ball out quick. Some, like, he's so patient. It allows him to throw on first down. Like, it allows them to get him in every way, shape or form, wherever he wants. And then guess what? Third down, money down when I need to play. Third and 12 in the red zone. Like, strike to Horton. That's a Sunday throw, bro. Like, eyes, expand the safety a little bit, get him to go where I want. Zip that puppy right in there. Like, incredible man. Like, Ty Simpson. Time and time again made plays. And with them and with him, like, you can tell he's a coach's kid because he knows the answers. He checks it down. He's patient. He'll take shots when they're there. He is. He's just unbelievable, man. Like, unbelievable job by him. Bama goes 3 for 3 on fourth downs, 6 for 15 on third downs. And the play of the game was, Was Ty Simpson. I mean, it was, it was unbelievable. The fourth down play, like seven minutes left, 20 to 17. Game ball near the 40. Very easy to punt play defense. Absolutely not. He's got a man and he's got a guy in trail technique on his, on his receiver that's running a little corner route. If you, if you walked out there and you went, here you go, here's the ball. That's how good the throw was. The coverage was absolutely perfect. Ty Simpson's just better. Like, that's what it boiled down to. Like, like, Brent, tell me I'm wrong. I mean, I just, I saw a lot that, that, that was stupid. Like, that was absolutely, that was absolutely crazy. And then he did it near the goal line on fourth down again on that drive. The play before the fourth and eight is really big because it was third and 24 and he checks the ball down. Why would you check the ball down? That's stupid. You got to get 24 yards. You need to push the ball down the field. Checks it down. His guy runs another 10 yards and now it's fourth and eight, which gives him a chance again. Decision making, ripping the football, mobility calm under pressure. Like, I'll fight you, Brent.
- [38:15]
Brent Skaggs
Well, I, I, you might have to fight me because I don't know that I would put him in best player part.
- [38:22]
College Football Analyst
Oh, he's quarterback best because he's in the conference.
- [38:25]
Brent Skaggs
There's a lot of individual guys who are still put an average quarterback above.
- [38:29]
College Football Analyst
Put an average quarterback at Bama spot, they might have three losses.
- [38:32]
Brent Skaggs
Oh, I agree with that. Definitely. I said best quarterback. I'll, I'll allow for that argument. Best player. I don't know that I'm quite there yet. There's a couple other dudes that are just head and shoulders above Others. But you mentioned them about beating ranked teams. What they get to go play Tennessee next week.
- [38:49]
College Football Analyst
That's incredible.
- [38:50]
Brent Skaggs
It's just another, another one for them. But couple of things with this. The Missouri fake punt. Did you think they. Did you think he got it?
- [39:01]
College Football Analyst
Yeah, I did. I thought it was a. I thought again, we're dealing with horse crap camera angles. Like we don't have a shot down the line. But here's the thing. All these Bama fans are going to at you always. I love Bama fans like because they're passionate about their team. I'm here for it. You can at me all you want. Here's the thing. Here's what you don't realize, fans. It doesn't matter how far he goes out of bounds as long as he doesn't step out of bounds, bro. Cephas can Superman across the field 7 yards and stretch the ball out. And that counts like that absolutely counts. Like I can do that and stretch the ball out. So I think if you had an angle down the line, I absolutely without a shadow of a doubt think he got it doesn't matter. Like doesn't matter. Alabama still made more plays to win the game. Yes, but, But I, I 100% think if we had a good angle, he had it.
- [39:50]
Brent Skaggs
Lt Overton took it to another level in this game. He was playing really well. The way they defended Missouri, I think forced Missouri. It. It took advantage of their limitations. And you're. When you're watching Missouri offensive, you're like if they just had a Theo Weiss, like if they just had that kind of guy that was. That would win on the outside for them that they don't necessarily have. Coleman got kind of dinged up early.
- [40:15]
College Football Analyst
But they found him now though, I think number one might be that guy because that freshman looked like baller took.
- [40:21]
Brent Skaggs
Him to the end of the game to do that. And when Bama started playing a little bit of man. But that was one where Prabula wasn't good enough in the pocket and Bama was too good in the secondary and defensively. And they actually got a pretty consistent rush in that game. They were the better team for, for that.
- [40:37]
College Football Analyst
My boy Hubbard deserves some love by the way. 18 for Bama finds the football, man. Like six turnovers now forced on the year, like with the fumbles with the picks. Like he got his ankles broken too near the ground.
- [40:50]
Brent Skaggs
You say don't forget about that.
- [40:51]
College Football Analyst
He got the double tap smashed by Prabula. He said ow. And his jock strap went right there on the flow yes, but that doesn't matter like that that's going to happen obviously in a game. But, but he was, he just finds a way to make plays and that's all that really matters. And just so many people, man, I just, that's, that's why I get a kick out of people in our business sometimes too is like they bury Bama and just point out all these clips. Like, I just want to see where everybody's at now. Like, where are you at now? Like, where's. Where's all that hate? Where's all that? They can't do this. They can't do that because they're doing all right, guys.
- [41:24]
Brent Skaggs
Much like Vanderbilt a week ago too. I like, I watched Missouri and I don't think that they're going away in terms of a team that's gonna, you know, Potentially be a 9 and 3, 10 and 2 type team depending upon how their schedule goes that. Or that they can be that because Young and Wilson on the edge for them. Like they did some work in that, in that game and that's what, that's.
- [41:46]
College Football Analyst
What I'll say about Bama. The only thing that holds Bama back that I think from them being great. First of all, Jam Miller has to be healthy. He got up in that game. Didn't think that was targeting either. If anybody wants to argue that one too. But we get. We got a million calls to argue. That's unfortunate. Jam Miller makes them a lot better. They need him right tackle. Right tackle is an issue for them in pass pro. Now Simpson can make him look really, really good. But, but it was, it was definitely. You could tell that was an issue on the other side. And don't worry, we're getting.
- [42:19]
Brent Skaggs
They are rolling. That's for sure. One lost team in terms of like they are. And that sets up a big time game next week with Tennessee, who also.

A good one, barely survived today. All right, one more ad for you guys. When it comes to football season, it's grilling season. My son was upstairs and it was fantastic because he had the Omaha steaks out, but he did the burgers. They were, they were awesome. He was too chicken to get it off the grill, by the way, though, or to get off the pan because it was popping and the grease was kind of like, just grab it, man. Stop being a sissy. But grass fed beef filets burgers. It was high quality meat sent to your door this month. Visit Omaha steaks.com get $35 off with your promo. Promo code. Order pollock. Make a game day delicious. Use it like we did today with the steaks. Again, use the promo code@omaha steaks.com promo code Pollock get you a nice little discount. Illinois didn't get a discount. Illinois did one thing well though. Illinois didn't get ran out of the building. That's, that's a good thing for Illinois because I had typed in my notes, I said you can't get beat by 50 twice. That's what I typed in my notes because I thought at one point it was going to happen. But I just keep waiting for Ohio State to play a bad game. Like I just keep like keep waiting for him to screw up and mess around and just handle bit. They just handle business, man. Defense continues like they've got this cool little like force field around the, around the goal line. Like you can get inside the five goal to go situations and it's, there's a force field. Like you just, you just run into it boing. And you follow like you fall. It's incredible how good they are in that area. And this, this defense is entering elite company. And that being said, they gave up their worst amount of points this season. Like more points than they've given up all year long. They gave up 16. So that was a really, really bad day for them. But they're averaging like you know, giving up six points a game, just so good. Defensively the secondary is really, really elite and I think that's where like Altmeyer and company, they live off those RPOs. And Ohio State got that tip early and got the pick. Altmeyer's first interception. But like sometimes people think that's luck. That's not lucky, that's absolutely not luck. Like when you're covering somebody like a hand in a glove and the ball's thrown and the ball gets tipped up in the air and it's intercepted, it's because you're really, really good. That's why like and secondary for Ohio State is really good. They started true freshman Devin Sanchez, you know, you saw number six back there. Didn't matter. Still just worked out just fine. Offensive side of the football. If you want to talk about like we talked about the four force field on defense and I don't know how you score them. Actually you do know how you score on them. Jet sweep, handoff speed, option on fourth down. That, that's how, that's how Illinois scored on them inside the, inside the five yard line. It was absolutely, you know, incredible that they hadn't allowed a touchdown and since the Ohio game. But other things, Ohio State, to think About O line, the biggest weakness from a year ago, it might be the biggest strength on this offense. Obviously, the receiver core is probably number one. But their O linemen are nasty. They're physical. They keep their feet running. When they get on zone tracks, they're fun to watch. Pass protection has been really, really good. Jeremiah Smith got. Got dinged up, but he came back in and ran a fade route that an NFL player couldn't stop at cornerback because it was so quick and twitchy how big he is. It's just. It's not fair. It's not fair at all to try to try to stop it. Obviously, Illinois, with the mistakes, you can't. Your punter can't take a knee when he's catching the football. Like, you're going to get the. You got the tip where you. Where you didn't. You kick field goals when you can't. You can't afford to do that. But you did hang around. At least you did make it somewhat competitive. But another thing, too, Brent, how freaking good. Like, we know. We know. We know how big, how good the freak is. But Carnell Tate to be a number two is unfair. It's just unfair. Like, it's the body control near the sideline time after time, like, it's two feet in. Like, it's, It's. It's a mecca Buka. Like, which is stupid. It's exactly in the NFL. Like, he looks like him. He moves like him, and it's just Jeremiah Smith already slants the field. Like, you're already running uphill in one direction and then you got that guy. So you can't double both. And no, it's just. It's just pick your poison. And then they run the ball. So physical this year with an offensive line that's physical. And Bo Jackson, who's physical, like, it's just. It's. It's a. It's a good offense that's going to be extremely hard to stop.
- [47:02]
Brent Skaggs
They're a different level. I think that's them.
- [47:06]
College Football Analyst
They're not bad for the second team.
- [47:08]
Brent Skaggs
In the country, but I, I think they're. In terms of just overall talent. Like Bo Jackson, you talk about wearing number 25 and his style. He looks like Jamal Charles.
- [47:19]
College Football Analyst
But Jamal Charles was not the least bit physical. That dude's physical. That's the only. But, But I do. I like what you're saying. The long, longer strides, 25, longer skills, how he moves.
- [47:28]
Brent Skaggs
Yeah. Arvel Reese, I watch number 8 most every play on defense for them. And then that. And I'm not even mentioning Caleb Downs, but the goal line. You talked about 95. The play that 95 made with the little underhand shovel, that was stupid.
- [47:46]
College Football Analyst
Turns and grabs him and then just.
- [47:47]
Brent Skaggs
Like that far from the end zone.
- [47:49]
College Football Analyst
That's not supposed to happen. That's absolutely not supposed to happen. Like.
- [47:53]
Brent Skaggs
But Illinois hung around. So last year, Indiana 38 15. When Ohio State clearly kind of dominated him. So, you know, pretty close to last year.
- [48:03]
College Football Analyst
3416 today.
- [48:04]
Brent Skaggs
Yeah, 3416 today. And that with USC win and the Duke win, Illinois, if they handle the rest of their games, I think they still could end up being a playoff team. But now none of these games are given. They got to go to Washington in two weeks. But that them hanging around keeps them in a potential playoffs sort of spot, that's for sure.
- [48:24]
College Football Analyst
Washington State hung around today with Ole Miss. Ole miss was a 32 point favorite. It was a 24 to 21 game in the end. The perfect like, look ahead game for Ole Miss having to play Georgia. They were sloppy as piss. Lane's now the fastest coach to 50 wins at Ole Miss in history. But they, they found a way to get it done. That's all that matters. But they did, they did come out sloppy and missed a fourth down. They fumbled bad penalties at bad times. Trinidad looked very human. And then you look up and you look at his numbers and you're like, well, it's pretty freaking good. Like he was thinking he was like 22 of 29 or something. You're like, or 20 of 29. I'm like, gosh dang, that wasn't bad. But Lacy Toed Rock and the defense, here's the thing, it's fun about Ole Miss. Your defense has gotten better throughout the season. So beginning of the year, it felt like you had to outscore everybody a la Arkansas. Now the defense feels like it's coming on a little bit. So the defense, you know, saves the day and then.
- [49:19]
Brent Skaggs
And that's also a game they might lose in the past, I think especially last year. When you think about some of the losses they had last year where Kentucky fell asleep, like, that's a game that, the way it was going, they might lose. But they handled, they hung on and took care of business. So now they get set up a game at Georgia.
- [49:36]
College Football Analyst
Yep. Good game at Georgia. That would be fun. And then A M handle business. How about, how about freaking Florida, man? Like, fourth straight game against the top 10. Like, what? What are we doing here? Like, why is this my life? Like, that's what Florida fans are like really, like why is this my life? And then they go 75 yards to start the game.
- [49:54]
Brent Skaggs
That was the score fest to start the game. Like, dude, back and forth, offense all over the place.
- [49:58]
College Football Analyst
Because the Aggies come back and two play drive and yes, like there was like 28 points in the first 10 minutes of the game. And you're like, this is, this is madness. At some point, like we're going to get something, you know, some, some form of defense. And it came, but. But it just came for A and M. They didn't, it didn't, didn't come for Florida on the other side. And A and M continue. Man, when they get you in third down. We, we've talked about it so many. They're. They're just, they're silly, bro. Like it's silly. They're too good at it. And the Aggies, man, Like Casey Concepcion got hurt, Moss got hurt. Casey was in and out, back of the lineup, didn't matter. And I just love the 2417 Brent grind out like mash like run, run, run, eat it, clock tick, bam, bam. Grind it down. I'm up two scores with four minutes left and the ball game's essentially over. Like, I just, I freaking love when you can do that. Like great teams finish people, great teams reaching your heart steal it and eat it.
- [50:58]
Brent Skaggs
And you. We asked this question earlier and I think it was in the off season, maybe in the beginning year. I can't remember what. But were a fans happy with Mike Elko as their coach And I think they are loving the fact that Mike Elko is their coach because they are dialed in week in and week out. Like just week in, week out, dialed in to that.
- [51:18]
Commercial Voice
It's.
- [51:18]
Brent Skaggs
To that. Every little detail. I do a question for you.
- [51:22]
College Football Analyst
Yeah.
- [51:23]
Brent Skaggs
How long are your arms? Like, because I know you got the T. Rex stuff.
- [51:27]
College Football Analyst
I don't know the exact distance.
- [51:29]
Brent Skaggs
The reason I asked that is I was. I listened to the draft podcast every week. Great job. Trevor Sigma and Connor Rogers, they, they do a great job on the draft talking that NFL stock exchange. Cassius Howe has 30 inch arms and I think it's like one of the shortest arm. But he still does what he does as a rusher. Is so elite as a rusher with, you know, that kind of outlier arm length.
- [51:51]
College Football Analyst
It's pretty simple. Be a freaking quick twitch freak off the ball. It's very simple. Like when you're that quick off the ball, you go, you go run by people. So we'll get to the draft later on in the Season, South Carolina and lsu. LSU gets a good win. Here's what you need to know about this game, because I'm going to do this as quick as humanly possible. LSU tried everything they could to shoot, shoot themselves in the foot and screw this game up. Like opportunity after opportunity after opportunity. Fumble inside the one, throw a pick inside the one. Like, they tried as much as they could with the dumb mistakes to keep South Carolina in it. But they, they, they, they still did a good job of nuss. Hobbling around, making mistakes, missing guys, made enough big plays. And Trey DEZ flipping Green is a nightmare. He's a matchup nightmare. Continue to feed him, feature him. The offense still looked very average, very bad, but the defense made enough plays. And LSU survives against, against South Carolina and Lenore Sellers and company. But it was, it was a good game. That was a really good game. Next one, Michigan. This was awesome. Not for Michigan, for usc. Michigan. You know, you talk about coming into the Big Ten, getting their first Big Ten win. That's exactly what this was for USC last year. They had a fourth quarter lead in almost every single game they played. I think it was every single game they played. Come out today, set the tone. Great job. Lincoln Riley, play calling. They do such a good job with a screen game and patience. They work the seams that they, they threw this, the perimeter screens and then they faked it and got a touchdown off of it. Like the offense all works together. But here's the thing, man, Michigan, how physical they are, how physical they have been in this league for a long, long time. USC brought it to him. I loved it. I loved what I saw from usc, man. You lose your first running back, you lose your second running back. Both of them. So Jordan's out. Who's leading the Big Ten in yards? Guess what happens. Sanders goes out and then King Miller comes in and he starts toting rock. Almost 500 yards of an offense, only two penalties. You still had some big mistakes, but you kept it together. You played better defense, you made them earn it. And you got a really, really, really quality, quality Big Ten. When that's big time, man. That's a big time win by the USC Trojans. Huge win. All right, Brent, the last one, Texas Tech. I mean, Michigan game, huh?

Who picked that Michigan usa USC game, right? I can't remember.

Well, you want a brownie or cookie? That's what Signetti said today. Which one you prefer? Texas Tech. What a weird game. Like, this was a strange. I thought this was over and then I thought maybe an upset and then it was like this game sucked. So, like, you could literally. We can get rid of this one really, really quickly. But Texas tech, they go 71 yards on the first play untouched. You're like, kansas, for the love of God, please play some defense. Kickoff, force the fumble. Bam. Six plays in 15 and nothing. You're like, all right. Then they get up 21 to nothing. And then Daniels goes, but not bonkers. And it's 2117 and then.

And Morton gets hurt.
- [55:19]
College Football Analyst
Yeah.
- [55:19]
Brent Skaggs
Which actually kind of maybe helped him. It made the run game better.

I'm not going to say that out loud. I hate that. I hate.

Brent Skaggs
I just did.

I hate that because Cameron Dickey just went for 263. Yeah, well, I mean he had. He had a bunch of yards before early. That happened.
- [55:35]
Brent Skaggs
Still 71 with Hammond coming in and running the ball like he can. It gives a whole other element to their offense.

Scholar Gil Howard got green banged up too, which is not good. That's not good on the, on the, on the, on the front. That's not. It's not good at all. But no guy. And then they end up winning 42 to 17. So no, no real like challenge in the end or scare. But man, shoot, I think we covered everything, didn't we? Like, we got around college football pretty well.

What should we look at UCLA as a. As a contender. Now break up the juggernaut that is ucla. That was. That was one. That was another going on the road and dominate win for them.

College Football Analyst
Nice.

Got a big comeback win. Nebraska's kind of hanging around on the fringe.
- [56:22]
College Football Analyst
Hey, Nebraska was big time. Nebraska was big time.

Brent Skaggs
So that was one. Colorado coach prime got a big win today over Iowa State. You know, get a ranked win. Pit. Florida State is now officially been more than a full calendar year without a ACC victory. 8, 385 days under year or more than like in a month. 385 days and they got sold it since they.

So how about. How about Florida State starting 3 0. Man, everything's great. This is looking great. UVA. Okay. UVA is a pretty good team. Lost in double overtime. Not the end of the world. Miami loss, frustrating rival pit. Now you like, what are we doing here? Like 46 points, 34 points, 28 points. Poor tackling, big plays. Like their defense is so bad, like, to get better, man. Like, yeah, I don't have anything nice to say about him. It was just. It's frustrating to watch their defense. But the good thing is they got at the. At Stanford, Wake Forest, but they got to go to Clemson and Virginia Tech and all right, they got to go at Clemson, at NC State, at Florida. But if you told Florida State fans before the season, they'd win eight games, they'd probably be like, all right, it's a great season. So, yeah, I guess not last year.

Lost, but Notre Dame, I think defensively again looking much improved. So now next week you get. I think it's next week. Is it next week that usc, Notre Dame, or is it the following week? I can't remember now.
- [57:53]

Next week. It's net week. Next week.
- [57:54]
Brent Skaggs
Yeah, next week. So that's a playoff game changer.

The game changers. We're going to end it here and we'll shut up. Game changes, plays that shape the outcome of the game the most to me. Fourth and eight, Simpson. Are you kidding me? Best throw possibly of the season. Everything on the line just has the onions to make that throw, to put it in the bucket, then get it on fourth down. Plenty of other plays too. But fourth and eight was seven minutes left in a 2017 game. Your team needs you and you're like, all right, I got you, bro.

Brent Skaggs
The fumble at the goal line. Georgia, Auburn, I think that kind of gets there now. I had Elijah so right as his just sort of taking over the game, especially late as mine. But yeah, that, that fumble with the goal on 17. Nothing versus 10. Three is game changer beyond game changer.

7. Crazy, crazy, crazy week seven. But the good thing is, dudes, you know. Oh, hold on, Wes. Wes has it. Well, I got you, Wes. Wes said shout out to Demon Williams, his quarterback, who just Friday night, hold out, wait. Yep, he just completed another pass over 400 yards. Lit up. Rutgers was hitting, Boston was hitting. Everybody looked really, really good.
- [59:08]
Brent Skaggs
So yes, South Florida killed North Texas on Friday night, too. Slapped a whole lot of points.
