Is we got several big games. Now, I will say when we started to do week one, we're like, Hey, man, not a great slate. But we too is going to be awesome. And we too is fine. We too is got some things. You know, I think at every level of the slate, there's there's good games. I don't think it's the epic call your mom and tell them about the cause. We're all slate weekend that we made it out to be. But last week we didn't think it was good going in. And it was amazing. So what do we know that we should never ever judge a slate going into it. And I also like, I hate calling it slate. Casey, I was called a slate. I don't even like saying slate. So I'm not going to say slate anymore. That's the last time you hear me say slate. Slate. Um, all right. What we're going to do Brooks Austin is going to stop by later the film guy. Uh, he's growing and growing and growing over there on his own YouTube thing. Go check him out. Um, but Brooks Austin will stop by for about 30, 35 minutes later. We'll talk about Bryce Underwood. We'll talk about Texas Oklahoma Ohio State. Excuse me. We'll talk about Oklahoma State Oregon. We'll talk about all those things. We, we can't do some quick hitters for week two. But what me and blem are going to do is this. We are going to give you the Brandon Walker calls for ball show watch keep ball watchers guide. He is the number one ball watcher in America. I am the number one calls for all media personality in America. We are here. We're going to go through the ball watching guide together for Saturday. Now this discounts Thursday and Friday, which I guess you have the, they still call it the Civil War. Kansas and Missouri. That was never the Civil War. That was organ. Oh, what do they call what a good old fashioned. What is what is Kansas, Missouri? And why is it? Why is it going on the border war? The border war. Thank you. I knew it was a war. My mind. I just, they stopped calling the Oregon Oregon State one Civil War. Yeah, because there are a bunch of left lane and pussies, right? Is that what you said? They turn face. Okay. Yeah. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I'm face started. Everybody. Everybody love everybody else. Okay. So we're going to go through the ball watchers guide. We're going to start at 11 a.m. the early afternoon slate on Saturday. This is what you should have on your main TV, your second TV, your third TV, and maybe your laptop. However, you want to do it. Maybe your third TV is your laptop. But I don't think there's any secret. Your main TV game on Saturday morning, probably going to be Oklahoma and Michigan. And I am absolutely doing back flips when it comes to Oklahoma, Michigan this week, because Liam, it is the greatest crossroads in my gambling brain and my logic brain, my football ball watchers brain. I maybe have ever experienced in my entire life. There is nothing in the world that suggests the Michigan Wolverines after I'm going to be very charitable here after a last second victory. Congratulations, Big 10. A last second victory over Western Michigan where they they hit a Hail Mary last week. That's last week. They're officially technically want to know. But after needing help from a conference, needing help from officials, needing help from everybody to beat Western Michigan, they now face a top three defense in the sport. Oklahoma and Brent Venables are in a lead top tier defense in the sport. They won 51, nothing to open the season. And now they're rolling into Ann Arbor, Michigan. I don't see a world where Bryce underwood, the bust of quarterback at Michigan, where that offensive line, where that offense can generate anything. And yet it's a five and a half point spread. It is begging you. It is demanding that you bet on Michigan. It is screaming Michigan has a chance to win this game. And yet the logic side of my brain says no fucking way. I think I almost always bow to the gambling side. I almost always say gambling side. You're right. There's a reason this line is what it is. But logically, I think Oklahoma is a national title contender. Michigan is not. I think Oklahoma has a great offense and a great a good offense and a great defense. Michigan does not. I think Oklahoma kills them, but are you facing the same logic and crossroads than I am. Of course. So Oklahoma has a good offense, a great defense. What does Michigan have? A terrible quarterback. A coach who doesn't want to be there and a fraudulent victory over a Mac team. They spread it opened up at what one, one and a half in the summer. It's got to the five, five and a half number. I really thought we've got up to a touchdown by kickoff. A full seven points. If anything, it wants to go down. If anything, or right now the line is juiced to going to going down a point, but I think by tomorrow morning, maybe four and a half, which because people are using the gambling brain, but we you and I want to use ball brain. And yes, that is the crossroads. And it's that meme where there's one. You go, you go left or you go right. I don't want to go down either road, guys. We're all brain guys. And Bryce Underwood is so terrible. So bad at football. And they were and they were doing the whole coach, speak thing, Brown Walker. Everyone was every every single quarterback. Every player this off season had the best camp of their lives. It's in the best shape of their life. Now Bryce Underwood plays a dud of a week one shocker. And he's all right. Dissing his head coach. What a great start to the season. Why would I want to invest any faith in that? And the coach is like, yeah, he's a quarterback for now. Right? Like he's obvious. It's obviously their head is towards a break up. So why? Why? Why is this line as short as it is? I don't know. And for that reason, for that reason, Bryce Underwood is my player to watch this week. Nothing. Nothing indicates he should do anything. Nothing indicates he should be good. Nothing indicates. And if they're going to win this game, he has to not only be good. He has to almost be great. They can't they can't win this game. If he's bad, they can't win it in spite of him. He has to be the one to get him over the hump. He's a player to watch. If he is what he was last Saturday, they might lose 52 or nothing. Yeah, my my thought brand for this, how easy do they make this game for him? How many deep shot? How easy can they make it? I don't like genuinely how easy is it going to be? How many short little quick hitters? Is it going to be just get the ball on the flat to a playmaker and pray that he can make a swarm of Oklahoma gang tacklers miss? How is it going to be? This is a field position game that they're going to they're going to have to win Iowa style. But variables is a psychopath.
He said, "Yeah, he's a psychopath and he's got 11 psychopaths on his defense. I can't imagine a world where Michigan is able to stay in this game. I can't imagine a world where Oklahoma doesn't go roll him and yet, and yet." That's why Bryce Underwood is my player to watch. Now, look, when we say we're going to go through the ball watching guy, do you want to throw the ball watching guy up there so that some people can see what we're looking at? I like the little logo there, but I thought we were going to hold it up there so I can sell. So this is the early slate right there and these aren't the only games in that slate, of course, slate, slate, slate. You also have Arizona State at Texas A&M, and I think you have Oregon and Oklahoma State. I think this Arizona State A&M game is Ticklin' Blutman's nose, am I correct? It is, Ticklin' my nose, quite a bit, quite the fancy. That's my upseller of the week. That's your upseller, so A&M, who I think is a 14-point favorite. Last week they were fine, but you think this is a team. You think this is a team that can go in there and upset Texas A&M? I just, we talked about this extensively a few weeks ago. We are in lockstep on A&M, we have been for 365 days. I do not see what there is to invest in that offense. I need to see Arizona State go out and make a statement this week. Kenny Dillingham is one of the most under-appreciated coaches in the sport at this point because of how people are dissing this ASU team saying they are going to take a step back. They are 6-1 team, whatever. Again, he had Sam Levit, he had Cam Skabu, and he had Jordan Tyson on the same field. They would have beat Texas in the college football playoff at Jordan Tyson, was healthy but he never is because his bones are made of paper. He is an elite evaluator of talent. They have guys at every position. Just the chat, I want to welcome everybody. Let's see where he Wizards says it is pre-recorded, yes you dumb cunt, it is pre-recorded, suck my fucking dick. Thanks for being here. Pre-recorded my ass. So here we go, we got ASU at A&M, we got Oregon local homestay. Now, I got to say, I am going to bring out a draft King's read here because my pick of the day, I am actually going to do the second draft King's read first because that is the one that has our Loki, hey Loki, yep there it is, you almost messed up by not putting both draft King's reads in there, you almost messed up, they are in there, just be better, okay? Be better. Yes sir. I mean, look Liam, are you getting a little sick of this? I have dealt with the, how many days have I been on this earth? The second thing came back from the hospital, I was tired of it. Well 28 times 365, so that is like 11,000. 11,000? Brian, why can't you believe this? He almost forgot those papers, he almost forgot the blanket from the hospital when he was coming home. Unbelievable. Which one is the one with the, so it is the profit boost one, right, Loki?

Now, you say Brandon, for your profit boost, what is your favorite, what is your favorite play of the weekend? What is your pick of the weekend and it's right here in this 11 o'clock window. It's right here in the early morning and I would like to see if we can't welcome back a program to major college football. If we can't get a team to start 2 and 0 who's been dead and buried, if we can't bring back a proud program from the depths of hell, I would like to say right now, this weekend, they beat, wait for us, Purdue is getting off the mat a little bit gambling problem called 1-800-Gambler, 1-800-Mire reset, Connecticut called 888-789777 or visit ccpg.org.

Purdue is, I have the money line to beat, wait for us, at home, on Saturday, that is my play of the weekend, Purdue money line, overweight for us, I just wasn't that impressed with like, for us in week one, Purdue didn't play anybody, played Indiana State, but Ryan Brown threw for 300 yards, good running back, is you boy? Am I saying it right? -Fama is your boy. -Fama is your boy, came from Minnesota, I believe, he's fantastic, he ran for eight yards of carry, I think Purdue beats, wait for us this weekend, that's a little off the radar game, that's not one everybody's going to have on their TV screen, I'm just saying I like Purdue to win that game. What is your, what is your pick? Mine is in the same window, mine is army, mine is three and a half against South Florida, I'll be the guy, say it, I'll keep it short and sweet, I'm not a believer in Brian Hartline like all these other people, all right, there is a reason that he was passed up on for job after job after job and then it's up taking the USF job, I'm taking America's team, army, run the ball down, they throw, so why would army be America's team and navy not be America's team? -Navy is also America's team and they were my other consideration for picking the later window, mine is four and a half F.A.U. -What about Air Force? -Air Force is America's team, but they're playing America's team, North Dakota State this week, which crazy, North Dakota State opened six and a half point, favorite, down to one and a half. -Oh, that one's going to be a beautiful uniform matchup, it's going to be an absolutely sexy uniform matchup. All our springs too with the clouds and everything, that blue sky. -Should we do a sexiest uniform matchup of the week every week, because that's up there. I've always been a sucker for those Air Force helmets as well. -Oh my gosh, but I think it's one of the most under A in the game, White Helmet, Blue Bolt, what's better than that? -It's unbelievable. -North Dakota State, maybe one of the most unique looking teams as far as what their aesthetic is, even though there's other teams with the same color style, you look at it and that's North Dakota State, I know it immediately, bang. They use that yellow, that gold so prominently, when other teams who are the green, the gold, they're not using gold like that. -This is where you come for your football fashion takes. A lot of people want to talk about quarterbacks and receivers and all that. We talk football fashion here on the Brandon Walker College Football Show. Moving along in the ball watching guide, we moved to the middle window there on Saturday, and I think this is where shit could go haywire. This is where things can really get interesting. Bring it up, Loki, because I got some issues with our graphic designer. I got some issues with whoever's running the sticks. I got some issues with whoever is doing our layout because Arizona BYU is a massive early season, Big 12 game, you know, two of the top three or four favorites in that conference. Wonderful game. Gonna look awesome. Look over here. Look at those Mississippi State. Look at walking bully over there. Walking bully, and I believe his name is Jenny, the gofer, Jennifer, the gofer. It's bully against Jennifer. I don't know what the point of that is. Jennifer, the gofer is looking good. I think that should be number one. I'm just saying Mississippi State Minnesota, I think Minnesota is good. I like what PJ Fleck does. They're very, very well coached. They're gonna try to run the ball. We're gonna try to score 90 points, Kamario Taylor. Can I just say, I've been a Mississippi State fan for a long time, man, a long time. I truly, if you just gave me truth, sir, I'm just terrified we lose this game. I think we might go up there and lose this game. Kamario Taylor's first road game as a starter. He goes to Minnesota. It's a well coach, Big 10 team. He had a couple of throws that were big time mistakes last week that weren't punished. I think he's the man for the future. He's incredible. He's taken the America by storm, but this just doesn't feel like a game we historically win at Minnesota and I have so much respect. So I'm terrified after the South Carolina game next week we're one and two, and that's when we beat Alabama and other teams in Missouri and we start to put together or eat wind season. But anyway, that's where I'm at. Terrified in Minnesota. I'll hopefully, hopefully, hopefully be pleasantly surprised and made to look a fool by my team, but it's just, it is what it is. Now the fuck is a state's game, not on B Walk's main screen. See, I would like people, you're all pin menses that show up and type in this chat. I just told you it should be number on the main screen. I don't, I don't really understand. I just won't, I got the number one ball watcher in the world here. I got the number one cost for ball media personality. I got a ball, no, we're coming here in Brooks Austin and you'll just refuse to be smart. Come with me boys. Let's make smarter college football fans. I don't want to be the commissioner of college football. I don't want to be boring as hell like Tom Forenelli. I just want to be have smarter fans. That's what I want to create. That's what I want to create in this world. Anyway, I'm scared to death that Minnesota beats us this weekend. So.
The second window there Arizona at BYU what are your thoughts there on that game there Liam? Two wider sewers in that matchup. I'm really taking an eye to it's Giovanni Richardson There's a very strong sophomore receiver for Arizona that one of the names in college football legend glasker true freshman The wider seaver at BYU six foot one Super fast twitchy great strides. I want to see how both teams get their young star Like budding rising wider sewers involved. It should be a high score and fun game My upset alert is hiding in this window. It's not really hiding. It's the number two game there No, I think my upset alert is Alabama at Kentucky Alabama's 16 point favorites And I can I just say I stared at that line on my phone for about five minutes to decide if it was 10 or 16 I think it's 16, but I can't see and my wife can bring my glasses. It's 10. Yes. Let's see It's stared at it. I stared at it. I stared at it 10 point favorites for Alabama So Alabama 10 point favorites. Kentucky understein Immediately they're much better offensively and it's what they did on the offensive line going to get big-time power for transfers Going and getting big-time guys now Alabama will be the biggest challenge. They face early in the season. Sure Alabama's got dudes up front But if Ryan Williams is going to continue a Ryan Coleman Williams going to continue his drop sees if they're not going to be able to run the ball Because they ran it fine, but their best running back was their quarterback last week and I feel like you can That's not a great to go on the road in SEC You need a running back who can get five yards at a time to go ahead and make the change a little bit easier I think Alabama's going to win, but upset alert is absolutely here Upset alert is right here because Kentucky When you and whenever you hire a new coach is in talks is an intoxicating blend of hope and hubris and Kentucky's got that right now and it just takes one big win to make people go fucking crazy And this is their opportunity. That is my upset alert for Alabama at Kentucky. What else you got in this window Liam Blum. Well, I want to stay on that game Really big test for both quarterbacks Keelan and Mentiony. I want to see how they fare obviously You said one win makes the the fan base so-and-talks. Hey there everything. Well, how about what will Stein said? Did you see what he said what he said he want he wants the loudest environment ever this side? He wants fans to bring in flasks Clearly said bring in flasks say crazy stuff to Alabama be outrageous. I want a hostile environment. I want win this football game At the same time. Let's call a spade a spade, okay? Alabama is used to going to Auburn. They used to go into Georgia. They're used to going to Tennessee. They're used to going to LSU Even the nastiest most locked-in Kentucky fan of all time will be googling Fall basketball roster in the second quarter Even the even the worst most riled up Kentucky fan base And crowd you could ever get is checking their phone about the races over at Keelan like if this is This They're used to hostile environments. I don't know and god bless you Will Stein for for for telling you if we're trying to get him fired up My wife has brought me my glasses folks. So let's just uh check that line one more time Mm-hmm. Check that line one more time. I already had it pulled up to be honest. Yep. Yep. There it is 10 points William Does it is it? Concern you how old I am no does it concern you how old I am too good haircut. I did get haircut Hmm, I don't know that I like that. Okay. Well, sorry.

I mean like We have said so much the big 12 that second spot is wide open Texas Tech is de facto will already train like they're in that second spot is wide open We said I think there were eight teams that we believe to be competing for our spot you drop to them It's full out for a full out warfare to find the spot It's a significant game. Were you surprised by the spread of seven No, no, you know, it's a tough place to play Mm-hmm. That's a tough place to play and and I do think one of the things we're not worried about we focus so much on the AC's on the big 10 the SEC like The number two spot in either the big 12 or the ACC's probably getting it like I I There's a lot going on, but you can put yourself in a great position by being number two to to to force your way into this playoff You did a couple of years ago where they, you know, go 11 and one, they lose
conference championship game but they put themselves in great position and people say it's a bad conference is this is that it's not going to get if you get to number two and one of those conferences you're in a good spot to at least be there in the end. So I think it's a gigantic game. Let's go to the night games and here's the big one and it's the game of the week. It's the obvious game of the week is it's Ohio State and it's Texas and but Memphis Boise, by the way, is right there. Anyway, the 6 p.m. night games you've got Ohio State at Texas. Last year this set the tone and I know Texas goes back and they're like if we just hadn't scheduled Ohio State we would have been in the playoffs. No, if you hadn't lost the Florida a couple weeks later you would have been in the playoffs. But this is so gigantic because of the strength and the density of the schedules after this game. You know, last year I don't think Texas or Ohio State really had the weight and their schedule behind this to scare them. But if you lose this game you're in real, real trouble and I don't think there's a guarantee if you win this game you're going to be in the playoffs. It's going to go along, long, long, long, long, long. Wait, but there's no guarantee because Ohio State still plays in the NSL play USC on the road. Still play Oregon. Texas still plays that LSU. They still play at Texas A&M. They still play Oklahoma on the neutral field. So there's a lot going on for both of these teams. I do think this game and if you remember last year it was two quarterbacks with a lot of hype both in their first real important game. Both in their first spot and both coaches were terrified of it. Both coaches were absolutely holding back and trying to guide their quarterbacks through and and Julian saying was just a little bit better in archmaning. But this year I think it's the exact opposite. I think the the reins are off. I think the leashes are off and I think you're going to see last year 14-7. I think this game's going to be 38-34. I think it's going to be something like that. The defenses on both of these teams are good. I think the offences are going to be better and I think you're going to see a shootout this time around. Do you think that's a bad read because of the quality of the defenses we're talking about? I don't think it's a bad read. There's two things I'm really honed in on here. It's how the Ohio State Rush defense preventing Hollywood smothers from getting to the second level and breaking off 10-15 big chunk runs. That's going to be difficult to do. I'm excited to see how they the fun. Texas has a great defense. They've got so much talent in the secondary. They've got three young corners in the rotation. How does this youth and inexperience go up against Jeremiah Smith? How do they how do they target him? How would they take him away? How are they bracketing him? Could Chris Henry catch a ball? He dropped three last week. Yeah. And I think on the other side, you're going to see it. Did you see so much Kim Coleman talk from Texas? I truly think Ryan Wing goes the most underrated player in the country. I think he's really fucking good. He's on the other side. I think he's really good receiver and would be the number one at 130 other places. But he isn't number one at Texas. It wouldn't be number one at Ohio State. But anyway, I just think I think you've got a more seasoned arch. You've got a more seasoned saying the defenses are very good. I just I just think it's more of a track meet this time. I think it's going to be a very, very, very visually appealing game. Could be wrong because the defenses, you know, the talent on the defenses is overwhelming on both sides. The coaching is very good on both sides. I just think we're going to have an early season showdown between saying and archmaning and for archmaning, even in a loss, 38-34, even with 38-34 loss. It would be just so big for him to have that shootout moment. Of course, like I said, if you lose this game, you're in real, real, real trouble because of what's coming down your schedule later on. Boise and Memphis. Both times I've watched Memphis. They were okay in the first half against UNLV and the second half they were lights out. They were okay in the first half against Arkansas State and in the second half they stretched out and really, really asserted their dominance. Now they go on the road to Boise State who started strong and then faded against the best team in the country, in my opinion, Oregon. This is an early knockout game in the G6. Well, maybe not a knockout of Boise State loses it. But I guess I'm not a knockout for anybody. But it's a huge game, a giant game, and these two teams, if you put the most watchable teams, like the top 20 most watchable teams, I think they're both in there. Madison's fun to watch. The two ahead of monster at running back is fun to watch. Memphis has a monster out, a one-headed monster running back and they have a quarterback who can sling it. So I think this is a fantastic game, Blumman. Of course there's, you know, I'm a sucker for this. You know I am. That, that running back on Memphis, Jalen Carter has so much pro potential. I think he's going to be a contributor in the NFL one day, like a really, really strong contributor. It can't be stay enough. It's not elimination game, Brandon. This is a pole position game. This gets you first in the pole on that grid looking towards the playoff push. And if you're Memphis, let's focus on Memphis here because we have talked so much about the schedule and the road games that they play. If you win this game, you should be what? This is 3 and 0, 4 and 0, 5 and 0, 6 and 0, 6 and 0, going into the two-lane road game. I'm not buying two-lane this year. I don't think two-lane is that good. That's 7 and 0, call it 8 and 0, 9 and 0 going into the, or 8 and 0 going into the Army game, or 9 and 0, whatever it is, like significant for them. Now you also have Psyhawk on Saturday night. I think this is the rare time where that's not going to be that great of a game. I know you throw out the records with these two teams and it's always ugly and it's always a fight and it's always a, I just, I don't see how Iowa state keeps it close. I really don't. That Iowa defense is, it's kind of a peak year for them defensively and the offense seems to have found a little bit of something there with some skill position players and Iowa state just isn't, isn't there roster-wise with Iowa. This is the rare time. I think I'm going to just pick Iowa to beat the shit out of them. It's interesting, Brandon, because I think that's the same thing I would have said on Sunday for Apple Cup. Is these two teams? There is such a large talent gap. It's a whole new staff for Wazoo. A lot of guys going here to Iowa state. There's the connection. I'm trying to figure out. I want to see the last blowout in this series. The last blowout in the series. She's, man. 42, 3, 2016, Iowa won. So 10 years ago. 10 years ago, which, hey, I guess that'd be a nice little decade history thing, whatever. Jesse Bob at the defense coordinator for Iowa state, young guy played a linebacker at South Coast State, bright, bright mind. I want to see how they're able to take out, again, Iowa has a wide receiver, like a legitimate WR1, not some gadget. Well, that doesn't feel right. It don't feel right. From UTRGV to Tony Diaz, how is this guy on Iowa? I don't understand it. Uh, Iowa, listen, your main playoff contenders there in the Big 10 or obviously Oregon, Indiana, Ohio State. I think you can put Michigan off of that list for right now. Penn State's right there. But then I'd say Penn State and Iowa are the next two teams after the Big 3, unless I'm just missing somebody obvious. I think that's them.

All right, Chad, if you guys want to talk, I also have in that late window, the Liam Blutman cover your eyes Memorial Game of the Week. It's a team that I just want to bring as much attention to as possible because we discovered them in week zero when Northwestern State lost to Louisiana Christian and in an IA school. And then the next week, they were down 77 to 3 to Lotek in the middle of third quarter and ended up losing 80 to 6. And now this week, I believe it'll be the only match up in week two of two oh and two teams. It is Northwestern State against East Texas A&M, formerly Texas A&M commerce. So that's my cover your eyes game of the week. If that's on your TV, go to a movie. Do something else. Do whatever else you want. I do. I do wonder that LSU Lotek game. I haven't given myself enough time to study a lot tech, but that line was 30 is it 33 35 and a half I was about to ask you about it. Lane covers big spreads. Yeah, I would have I would have thought that would be like 44 and a half coming off of what they did to Clemson. 35 and a half it's silly to say 35 and a half is is not a big spread. It is, but like Lane is a big spread. Minus I he's he's a guy that will score if he's up 69 nothing with 30 seconds left he'll score to go up 76 nothing like he doesn't have a problem with it. So I just I think if you're looking for you know some gambling angles here, that's one to look at. I mean the guy was going for two up 44
to three or whatever it was. He's going to get every point possible. There's a game that tickles my nose a little bit too. I don't have a category for it, but that pit UCF game is something that has my intention. I think UCF's a little bit better than people have given him credit for. I think last year's that Grinch defense actually came along pretty good, but now they're facing Mason Haichel who threw 450 yards and 7 touchdowns last week. I don't even know what window that's now. I think it's early. It's the afternoon window. It's stacked. There's a lot of good games in that 230 central spot. Just I just want to go over a couple of just gambling picks that I made that I'm thinking about. I don't have a full card here, but I Purdue money line to beat Wake Forest. Alabama Kentucky over 49 and a half. That just seems like a low number to me. I do think with the offensive line improvements and with the new offensive minded coach, I think Kentucky can get 21, 28 and if Alabama was to be I just think that's a low number. So I got over on that one. I got Texas minus one and a half against Ohio State. And obviously Ohio State's one of the great programs in the country and a great team, but this needs to be a, this Sart needs a win. Sart needs a big one. Sart needs one that he can point out and say this is why we're doing this shit. He needs it worse than Ohio State does. That's just that's a very, very rudimentary reading of the game, but they're at home. What's your excuse if you don't win it? What's what's your fucking excuse if you don't win this? You've got to be desperate to win this game. Ohio State needs to want to win this game. Texas has to fucking win this game. So I like Texas minus one and a half. I got a little parlay over and over in the planes. Auburn, whose defense is very, very good. They're playing Southern Miss. I like Auburn minus 33 and a half and under 56 and a half in that game. I like Auburn to win like 42 to three. Southern Miss just not, not there. I like Auburn to, to thump them and keep the score low. So that's one of those. You're kind of trying to thread a little needle right there for Auburn to score a lot and Southern Miss to score a little. I think you can do it. Those are just my gambling brain mind or my gambling mind things that I got this weekend. I go to a couple of ads. We're going to get to Brooks Austin.

Well, we glossed over Oregon, Oklahoma state. We did gloss over that. How does a very hungry and determined Oregon defensive line just mall in Oklahoma state offense a line that looks tumultuous? Also, do you see what Drew Mesta maker commented on TikTok? We're in that time of the sport now. What did Drew Mesta maker comment on TikTok? Oklahoma state fan put out like a three minute video, like, man, look at me. I'm wearing, I'm wearing my Barry Sanders jersey or whatever. I have pride in this school. When you wear this jersey, I need you guys to show some pride. Drew Mesta maker friend of the program love the guy commented, Seth, next week will be different. Hang loose. Okay. Okay. Well, I mean, next week is next week is now it's going to have to be real damn different because last week was was pretty depressing. And not only that, it's not like Oregon went out and steamrolled boys. Like Oregon's got some things to prove too. Oregon needs to come out, play better football, play cleaner football, play, you know, don't look like they're just going through the motions for a half. They need to come out and like really thump somebody. It's interesting. It's one of those, it's like the Michigan OU thing, right? It's nothing, nothing, nothing. My eyes have told me says, Oklahoma state can keep that within 23 and a half, something like that. Yeah. Nothing tells me they can do it. But it's week two. And it's still early. So who knows? Who knows? All right. Last ad then we're going to bring in Brooks Austin to talk about talk about ball, these ball and lower. You respect him as a ball and over. Correct? Of course I do. Friend the program too. This show is sponsored by better help. If you could wake up tomorrow and be better at one thing, what would that be? Why? It's a tough one for me to answer. I'm so damn good at everything. I guess a little bit better at college football 27 because I did throw an interception. Trey went my five star sophomore through an interception. He's at 44 touchdowns and six interceptions. Now, of course Zach Parham scored twice in my god, Jameson Humphrey's is a minus 20 outside. And listen, John Casefaharn is running that rock right now. So there's my update where 11 and 0 would just be Oklahoma 56 24. John Casefaharn. John Casefaharn, my sophomore running back from Tulsa. Yes. Thoughts? I got I got. I'm in 2035, dude. I'm in 2035. My starting running back right now in real life is what? 9 years old. So I don't know what to tell you. Better is a feeling is defined by you and for better help.

All right. You have anything to add before we get to whatever we're about to do. What are we about to do? We're about to do the interview with with Oh, well, we don't shoot or whatever. Oh, man. What? So we don't we don't we don't have time for a few things and we don't have time to go into the tablet game of the week, which is the UTSA text state. We don't have time to go into the salty Sean Lewis. I love Sean Lewis. Salty comments from him about you say like as he didn't catch up. We don't have time to get into the brown walker college football playoff projection. We don't have time for anything. All right. Look, do you have my playoff ready? You know, Brandon, I messed up. It's well, unfortunately, we'll have to wait till Saturday night for my playoff. So I apologize. All right. I apologize. But we will be back Saturday night and do our weekly chaotic, whatever we're going to call that thing. And last week, it was crazy. Over 160,000 views on our Saturday night live show last week. And we will be back every single Saturday night and this week will be right after Ohio State and Texas. So I expect a pretty crazy show. But right now we got Brooks Austin, the film guy. He's got a great YouTube channel himself. And he's joining us right now to talk week two, talk a little ball. Go ahead, lookie. All right. Film time. The film guy check him out, check out his YouTube channel. He's blowing up as well as well deserved. Brooks Austin has joining us. He's a guy that when he gets a tape on Sunday, maybe even Saturday night, I don't know. He gets a tape on Sunday, just grinds it gets in there, figures out why we saw what we saw. What's up, Brooks? Nothing much. Yeah. We started on Saturday afternoon inside the press box over there in LSU because we had a we had a rain delay to our rain delay. So we were grinding some tape in the press box. People walking by like, the hell's he doing over there? I don't just just doing my job. I know you're I know you're the film guy, but you did get eyes in person on LSU. And what I did immediately after seeing LSU play the football game was I had a group of seven teams in the national title. I expanded that to eight through them right in that group had no problem doing it. Is that what you saw with your eyeballs? Yeah. And it was a lot of it. Like I was watching it from the press box. I'm like, dang, that doesn't really look like the Ole Miss offensive system. Like they've changed a lot. They're doing a lot of different things. And then I get back home and I watch the film and they're doing things that they never did at Ole Miss or at least hadn't done in the last three or four years from a run game scheme. Like they're they're a wide zone football team now where that's not what they were at Ole Miss. Like they're playing out of the pistol, a lot of pre snap motion, a lot of a lot of eye wash, a lot of stuff that they weren't doing at Ole Miss. And I could understand looking back at it why Clemson got caught with their pants down. Like they were they were prepared to do to defend one type of offense and we're getting something totally different. So the the constant like changes that try to wash junior and lane kiffin due to this offensive system. I think it's something that we don't talk enough about. Like everybody prepares for the pace. Everybody prepares for quarterback run game and stuff like that. But to get out there and face something totally different than what you were expecting to face while on the road while getting your brains beat in. I kind of felt I kind of felt sorry for those Clemson defenders because their coaching staff got taken for a walk for four quarters and they're out there with their palms up having no idea what to do. So it was a tough matchup no doubt. You think lane changed based on what his quarterback can do and has done at Arizona State. Did you just kind of meet this quarterback in the middle or was it completely out of the field? Yeah, I'm fortunate enough to wear this platform has got large enough where other coaches are listening and other coaches open lines of community communication. So when I was watching the tapes Sunday afternoon, I I call some people at LSU and I'm like, hey, why are you all the sudden a wide zone football team and their answer was, well, our tackles are stream.
athletic right? Our centers are tremendous athlete as well. It's a little bit sawed off. He's like six one two hundred ninety five pounds and runs wide zone and outside zone footwork really well. So they're tweaking that to the skill sets of their athletes, which by the way, that is the sign of coaching to me. I've always hated when football coaches are like, "Well, you go coming here and do what we do. This is what we do here." That's not football coaching. The best football coaches tweak and twist things to accentuate the skill sets of their football players and that's exactly what they're doing. And they don't have a traditional X wide receiver. They don't have a guy that's like great outside the numbers. Most of their great talents like the Winston-Walkins kid, the Eugene Wilson kid, the trade-as-green guy. Like, those guys are in between the numbers football players where last year at Ole Miss, they had to join Stribling. The world found out about Duce Alexander like they had good outside the numbers. Wide receivers here at Ole Miss and now most of their weaponry is closer to the box. So a lot of that is due to skill sets, which credit Charlie Weiss and credit Lane Kiffin, that's good coaching. Last year, the big game early in the season was Ohio State, hosting Texas, Ohio State 114 to 7. This year, Texas is hosting Ohio State in week two. It's the big game. It's the big game this weekend. It's the marquee game and last year, my read on it was, Arts went into the horseshoe, went in the shoe. He wasn't quite ready. And he showed the next couple of weeks after that. He wasn't quite ready to be what he ended up turning into towards the end of the year. Having watched him, I'm sure the other day is he more ready now for this challenge than he was and is he ready enough to win this football game? I certainly don't expect him to go out there and throw ducks for four quarters like he did on the road in Columbus last year. And I also think both those coordinators, when I went back and watched that game last year, I thought both of those coordinators called the game not to lose, right? We don't, we have great defenses. We have relatively solid run games. Let's just not put the freshman quarterback or the first time starting quarterback in a bad position on both sides of the ball. I felt that way with what Julian's saying. Now obviously, he makes the big play late to Cornell Tate that flipped that game on his head and Texas did a lot of things to take away Jeremiah Smith in that football game as every coordinator should be doing. Sure. But when I went back and watched that last year, I thought, hey, like, we got two brand new football players first game of their lives in a massive situation like this. Let's just not let them lose this game. Whereas you look at it this year and you got, you know, arch played the last seven games. I thought really, really well last year. They started to take the reigns off of him a little bit and Julian saying finish the year and the Heisman conversation. So I think you go into this football game a little bit more aggressive on the offensive sides of the football because you should trust your quarterbacks a little bit more. Also very curious to see like, man, that's a, that's a bad first start to roll out against the, you know, Ohio State in, you know, Columbus, Ohio and play in front of that crowd. But that defense that they had over there, Ohio State wasn't just littered with elite talent. It was littered with football players that were used like Swiss army knives and could be all over the field, whether it be Arville Reese, Sonny Stiles or Caleb Downes, like, yeah, they were doing a lot of lying to him. Pre snap, Matt Patricia was using those chess pieces in a, in a really incredible way. I'm very curious to see are they in a position now at a Ohio State where they're still immensely talented. But you don't have those unique players that can do like all kinds of different things like Jalen McLean is a great safety. But I don't think we can let him do all of the things that Caleb Downes was able to do from a, a schematic standpoint. So long story short, our things defensively a little bit more basic, which allows arch to be a little bit more comfortable and trust what he's seeing. He got played with for four quarters by Caleb Downes in that football game last year. And it created a lot of hesitation for a quarterback in his first start. And it's Texas more prepared offensively this year to be able to exploit them and make them play more basic and make them not be as exotic and everything because now you're not just worried about Ryan Wingo. You got to worry about Kim Coleman on the other side. You got to worry about this two headed monster at tail back. It feels like Texas kind of kind of took took their checkmate last year looked at the boards that are I'm putting these pieces out of here now. Now let's see what you got to do. So I got a two part question about Michigan and Oklahoma, which coming in the season, we would have said was another big game. And I guess it is a big game, but there's two part question here. Everybody in the country saw Bryce under which struggle mightily the other day. Everybody in the country might have had an opinion. Could he turn around this year? Some people have already made up their mind. I know you went back and watched it. There's just no way you didn't go back and watch what went wrong. Is he salvageable? Is he is eternal roundable? Is what happened the other night? Possibly a one off this season or are we starting to get too far down the road on him not being very good in college football? Just really didn't make any progressive steps at all from a seeing the field and reading defense's standpoint. A lot of mistakes, a lot of consistent mistakes, a lot of basic stuff that we cannot do at the quarterback position. So no, I'm at the point now where sometimes we just don't ever we can't ever see the field. Yeah, we don't ever like really read the defense properly, right? Like you can go on the list of all the immensely talented quarterbacks that never quite are able to read defenses. Sure. And ever see what's going on and know where we're supposed to work. I don't even see it from a standpoint of I don't think we know where to start. We don't know where to start our progressions, right? Like most of these offensive systems are predicated off of, hey, if they're playing covered to we're going to start on this side of the field and we're going to read this concept in this one two and three, right? Yeah, correct. But one, Brandon one, two and three change off what the defense is doing to us. Yeah, the defense lines up in one thing. The, the, the, the play on the paper might start one, two, three, but when we get out there, now it's supposed to be one, two, three on the other side. We're supposed to flip the progression. Um, I don't even think we can get that done at a high enough rate right now. Um, I am tremendously terrified for Michigan for what they're about to face. Venables is a lunatic. Let me tell you some Brooks. What's up? If, if, if I had a struggling quarterback and I did what I did the other day and got out there with the win, I think if you gave me a pick over the entire country, which coach and defense I wouldn't want to face next, it is this coach and it is this defense. So the reason I, and I didn't interrupt you there, I apologize. But, you're good. But why is it five and a half points, Brooks? I know you're, you know, why isn't, why doesn't Vegas think this is going to be a blowout is my question because everything looks like it's a blowout. Maybe they think Michigan's defense can rock fight this thing. Yeah. Maybe they think they can turn this into a 14 to 10 football game somehow some way. Um, I'm not of that belief. Um, I, I am of the belief that this line on Wednesday is five and a half when we record this. I would imagine that line is going to bump closer to seven and a half, maybe eight as the game approaches. Um, I, I expect some movement there. I, I don't know what Vegas knows. Um, maybe they haven't gotten a full grasp of this Oklahoma offense. I think the nation's going to figure that out this weekend. They're going to expect this like Ben Arbuckle, Wazoo, Oklahoma, John Mattier offense from a year ago. That's not what they are anymore. If you didn't watch that you type game last week, you don't know there are 12 personnel football team. They lined up in the eye. They got into 13 personnel in the red zone. Hell, I saw 14 personnel roll out there like Jason Wynton and I think Kevin Smith is the guy's name. They hired a new head coach of the offense and like assisting offensive coordinator. That's a totally different football team. They, they're doing different things offensively. Um, UTEP had no idea how to even line up based off what I saw. So I would imagine most people just don't know maybe what what they got going on. And to be honest with you, like I'm not the big Vegas insider or whatever brand, but Michigan's a big brand. And I don't think anybody know the masses. The masses aren't picking Oklahoma to destroy them just yet. Um, but I expect that line to move. Maybe I have no idea. No, I'm like you, though. And my dad taught me this from a young age. Don't, don't think you're smarter than that, that, that group of people out there that set them lines. Agreed. Yeah. Not normally you're going to be. Um, so I'm, I'm curious about it. And when you get to the point, you do think you're smarter than them. That's when they're, I'll absolutely lighten up cigars and they're, they're having a good time. Um, how disappointed were you in the start of the Oklahoma state and messed up maker and what happened at Tulsa? Yeah. I mean, I, I, I had, I'll, I'll put my hand up a lot of people. But I had, I had them in my preseason top 25. Yeah. I thought offensively that this was going to be like one of those old school big 12 football teams that could just outscore you. Um, but to watch them get manhandled at the line of scrimmage was a little bit terrifying to be honest with you for someone who held that much stock for them. Um, but I don't know, maybe, maybe they can get it right. I do believe in Eric Morris as a offensive play caller and designer. I do wonder sometimes these guys that go from, you know, shaking hands and kissing babies down there at North Texas to now we're at a power for job. And we're still trying to maintain some of this play calling responsibilities. Yeah. And your duties as a head coach drastically change. Um, all these guys figured this out. They go from mid major coaching to being able to handle all the hats that they're trying to wear to make sure they're offensive, still they're offensive. Yeah. And then they get to a new job at a power for school. And it's like, hey, on Tuesday, we need you to meet with the billionaire. Hey, on Wednesday, you got to go speak to the first year enrolled students. Hey, on Thursday, it's like, when do I get to coach football? Like, and that, that looked like one of those situations potentially, but that doesn't explain why
their offensive line was getting ran through. I don't understand what that is. It's a, it's a small time mayor in California that all of a sudden gets elected governor. And you're like, all right. So governor, now you, now what are you going to do about this? I'm like, what, what are you talking about? What am I going to do about this? I gotta go handle, handle this issue. A couple of questions just going down the line here. You give Kentucky any shot against Alabama. I know this is a big. It's, it's early in the 10 year there for, for Stein and early returns are good. And Keelan Russell early returns on him are good, too. So what do you make of this one? I thought both of those offenses were extremely vanilla and week one as they should be playing teams that were drastically outmatched from a talent standpoint. Very curious to see if Alabama tweaks their run game a little bit more because I know the box score said it was really good. But the longest rush of the day was from their quarterback on a scramble on the first series of the football game. No running, no running back had to carry more than 13 yards against the difference from ECU that is not the caliber of even like a Kentucky should be this weekend. So wondering if like, did we really solidify those problems? Did we really get better up front? Or did it just look like that on the box score? We'll find out this weekend. But I do think they were very, very basic. And I think Debora even talked about that in his press conference this week. He was like, I know Will didn't call his full offense. I've seen that offense from Will Stein at Oregon. That's not what it looked like week one against Youngstown. Stay as it shouldn't. It should be base one week day one week one install when you play these tomato cans. And you should be able to handle them with the with the most vanilla form of your offense. You ought to be able to go out there spam four votes and have back ISO and win the football game 48 to 10. And that's what both of these football teams did. So very curious to see like that first couple of possessions when we're actually starting to unload the clip a little bit on both sides of the football. How these defenses react. But I don't think Kentucky's got any answer for a football player like Yon's AP air. And to be honest with you, if you haven't paid attention, this guy took Kwei Rousseau's job last year. Kwei Rousseau got hurt. But Kwei Rousseau came back and it was like, no, no, no, no, no, no. This is Yon's AP air's job. And since it's been him, that guy has been one of the most disruptive and and destroying type of defensive players that we have in college football. And there's really no answering for him or are are dedicating game plans to him because they constantly move him. He just floats around the defense over there for Kane Womack. And you can't really set protections to him. You can't set run run blocking schemes towards him because you don't really know where he's going to be. And that's pretty terrifying for a guy who's six three and a quarter 248 pounds. And can do just about anything. Last week Brandon, I don't know is ECU. Last week he had three tackles for losses, a sack of a half and a pick six. Pretty good. Pretty good. And it feels like and it feels like his even for an Alabama defender, especially it feels like his name and his his his hype hasn't caught up to how good he is, which is, you know, for again, for an Alabama defender, usually the hype comes first. And then they show, yep, I'm worth the hype. And that that's been the that's been everything that Alabama's done over the last 20 years. Now we're a weekend, but there's still teams that probably look good against a nobody last week. There's still teams that we're probably not talking about enough. Who is the team that you think she was marinating on the stove right now? Nobody's thinking about him. Nobody's talking about him. But then you look up in week six or week seven and they're like, Oh, okay, this is a legit team. Who fits that description to you? Yeah, look, I'm not trying to just get you all hyped up and talk sweet nothings in your ear, but it is Mississippi state. Mississippi state is the team in the SEC this year that's going to ruin somebody's playoff chances. I'm not saying Mississippi state individually has playoff hopes this year. They probably do in house. I don't look at them as that yet. We're certainly going to figure out this week against Minnesota. But I like if I'm Alabama, I look at that. I look at that game and I'm like, I should you should be petrified, right? And that I've been telling folks that that that should be everybody in this conference that has them on their schedule because you might be able to score 35, but the MSOBs might score 45, right? That quarterback, man. And I know just do it. I what else do I need to do? PJ Flex said he's the best quarterback. Minnesota's played in 10 years. That's what PJ Flex said. And look, PJ Flex spent six of the last 10 years in the big 10 West, you know, watch an Iowa quarterbacks come to town. So I'm sure this does look like a mutant to him when he watches it on tape. Yeah, I'm sure it does look like God's gift to football when he watches it on tape. But no, he's he's everything I thought he was going to be. He's he's every bit of what I thought this kid was going to be. I just, yeah, how do you, how do you stop that? Is the question? Hold the ball. I guess like the best defense, the best defense is offense against this Mississippi state team this year. Perhaps I don't know. I truly, I knew it was good. And I knew the ball has a zip and a pop that I haven't seen in a very, very long time. And then, of course, there was a throw that went viral where he kind of steps up in the pocket and you just kind of just, you know, that's the noise it made in my mouth. And it just goes 58 yards. And it, and not only goes 58 yards, Brooks, a lot of people can throw it that far. It landed in the guy's pocket. If the guy didn't have hands, he would have called it because it would have landed in his pocket. It was unbelievable throw. I'm excited about it. I'm very nervous about going to Minnesota. I hate, I hate, you know, Mississippi state schedule week two and week three, both on the road, one of the South Carolina who I think, if you ask me that question, who's a team that's kind of percolating there? Nobody's talking about I think South Carolina might be the team of the SEC that fucks somebody up. I think the North region is just hiding in plain sight. Like you guys love me last year. And now I'm now here I am. And you're not really talking about me. And then I, and then I want to say the Florida Gators, they didn't really have to show much the other day, but like worst case scenario, defense solid, Jayden ball is going to run for 150 every game. And that's a winnable formula to start. I mean, if you talk to any coach that played Florida the last three or four years, yeah, they would get done with the game. And they'd be like, I have no earthly idea why they're as bad as they are. It's certainly in the players. I remember talking to an Ole Miss coach last week or last year after they got done with that football game. And the Ole Miss guy was like, I have no idea how we won today. I walked out and pregame thinking, oh my god, we are screwed. And then the guy with the polo on over there had no idea what he was doing. So boxed him for four quarters. And that, that was the sentiment about this football team. And guess what? The roster's only gotten better. They kept all the good ones and brought in good ones. And the football coaching staff over there now is fricking elite. They got a football coach now. And so yeah, I'm with you. I think Buster Faulkner is one of the best offensive coordinators that I study. I mean, he, I put him up there with Charlie Wash Jr. To be honest with you, like the amount of ways that he makes everything look the same while killing you in a variety of different ways. Create so many problems for defensive coordinators. Their offensive line has made some improvements. But you know, and the defense didn't look all that great last week. But that Florida Atlantic team was a top 25 offense in the sport last year. And it didn't look like they were going slow down. So I want to give them a little bit of a grace period there defensively. And the fact that their defensive head coach is John Sumeraw and they have Brad White as the defense coordinator. They're going to figure it out. They're going to be all right on that side of the football. But I was with you preseason. I said the floor at at Florida was eight and four this year. And people looked at me like I was a wacko. And I'm like, guys, they got dudes. They got absolute freakus. I mean, I don't know of anybody and Eric Singleton's hurt now. But I don't know of anybody in the sport right now. That has three wide receivers like they have when they're healthy and a running back like Jayden ball. Yeah, I don't know of a unit like that. Everything else is question marks, right? It's offensive line going to be good enough. Is this 5-0 guy as good as I think he is like though. Those are questions that will get answers to as the season and schedule starts to meet and up. But yeah, I'm with you. This Florida team. I got two producers that are graduates from Georgia. And I told them when I got back home or when they got in here Monday, I said, you ought to be shaking a little bit that that game is no longer, oh my god, I can't wait to go beat the hell out of Florida. I don't think that's what that's going to be moving forward with this with this unit down there. Second half of the schedule is absolutely brutal. But there's the only thing stopping them from 6-0 is a road trip to Auburn and a home game against Ole Miss coming off the LSU game. So like that it is a remarkably doable thing. A couple more questions. I know your time is valuable. But anyway, so is Clemson dead until there's a change ahead coach? I mean, I thought they were dead when they went 7-6 with what? I think they had five players drafted in the top 90. The NFL draft? Yep. Yeah, you're exactly right. And you go 7-6? Yeah, I mean, I thought they were dead from that standpoint. Now, I watched them on film and during the game on Saturday and I'm sitting there watching it from the press box and I'm like, man, this feels like both sides of the football are stuck in 2020. What's the goal offensively, Brooks? What's the goal offensively? What are they trying to do? Brandon, they hired a guy who hadn't called places 2020. They hired a guy in Chad Morris that wasn't even in the game of football last year. That's who they brought back to call place for them. And it looks to me like the offense is 100% stuck in 2020 and they don't do any of the new stuff that we do nowadays in college football. No new run schemes, no no pre snap eye candy, no scatter motion, no no jet sweep fly action to stretch defense as horizontally while pressing them vertically. Defensively, the amount of tips that they had, the amount of like if they if this defender has this type of, I'm not trying to give everything away. If this defender lines up in this type of thing, they're going through
who run this, the amount of things that LSU knew about them that they had studied year over year that they just had not changed. Looked to me like a football coach, like we all, we all make fun of dabble for not adapting the times from a roster management standpoint, NIL portal, all that good stuff. We all make fun of them for that. When I watched them, I looked at a schematic approach that looked like it was antiquated, that looked like it had not adapted to modern times in five years. They don't do any of the fun stuff that we do nowadays to win football games, and they got their brains beat in because of it. - You said something interesting there. You said you don't want to give away everything. So let me give you a plug right here. He's given us an appetizer, Brooks Austin, the film guy. He's given us an appetizer today, but on his YouTube channel, he'll give you the whole meal. - Oh, I was more talking about, I don't want to give away tips that LSU had figured out about Clemson, I'm an open book. I want you to enjoy my content, but I was not gatekeeping my content right there. I was protecting source information that LSU had picked up on Clemson's defense, my bad. - Well, just take the damn compliment, Brooks. Just do, why don't you just let-- - Well, go ahead. - Let me plug you show, let me get people over there. - Go ahead, do your thing. I'm great, plug my show. - His show's great. How, by the way, you had Shane Gillis on the show. I haven't even had Shane Gillis yet. You had to Gillis on the show, it was awesome. How'd that come about? He's a fan? - Yeah, he's a friend of the show, a fan of the show. We did a Jeremiah Love CJ car film breakdown. A couple, like, I think it was last year, going or two years ago, going into the Sugar Bowl. And I start seeing Shane Gillis pop up in my Instagram, like like buttons, like he was liking videos that I was doing. And the whole comment section is like, Shane Gillis knows ball, question mark. Shane Gillis is a ball-nower, like he starts popping up. So yeah, we just opened up a lot of communication. Shane is a legitimate college football sickle. - Oh, I know. - And that's what you have to like, to really enjoy what it is that we do. You can't just be like a college football shit talker that shows up on Saturdays and then shows up in Brandon Walker's YouTube comments. Like that's not what we are aiming for. We're aiming for people who are like, really, really sick about this stuff and want to know the why about their football team. And Shane is one of those people. Shane is a person that is very bulk curious about his football teams. So yeah, that's why he found us to be honest with you. - So a couple, one more question here. You know, we got Texas Ohio State this weekend. We got Michigan, Oklahoma. We got Bama, Kentucky, we got the Seihawk, we got Arizona BYU, a lot of games there. My eyes just go. And my eyes in my heart after watching, I'm falling in love with that Memphis team when they were in the standalone a couple weeks ago. And then falling in love with that Boise team when they went out to Eugene and weren't scared of shit on Saturday. I mean, they weren't scared of shit. They were the Maddox Madsen. It's really come a long way to me. And the two had a monster running back. I am just over the moon about this Boise State Memphis game. I think it's maybe gonna tell us there's gonna be the G6 and shout out to North Dakota State, shout out to all the other teams. What do you make of this matchup and are you as excited as I am about this one? - Certainly. I think it's two, you know, physical brands of football. But here's what I'm more excited for you ready. - Yeah. - I'm very excited for Memphis to win that game by 14. Alabama to beat Kentucky in some goofy way. And then for Brandon Walker to open up his show on Saturday night saying that Charles Huff needs to be the next head coach of the Alabama Crimson Top. - Well, that's what I'm excited for. - Okay, okay. Well, that's where you talk to yourself into a corner Brooks, okay? 'Cause I have to keep all avenues open. All avenues are open. Now, I think Mississippi State's gonna be really good this year. When Jeff Levy wins nine games, maybe opportunities come to Jeff Levy. I don't know if I'm gonna need Charles Huff to be in Mississippi State next year. I don't know, I don't know. And as we sit here right now, I'm just guessing, I'm guessing Tallahassee and Charles Huff have at least looked at each other across the bar and not at each other. Like Charles Huff has at least lifted his drinks and said, "You need one?" And Tallahassee's like, "Maybe." So there's a lot going on there, but you just gotta know, it's early. I gotta keep all options open, all options on the table. Jeff Levy's gonna win nine. We're gonna give him an extension. He's gonna win the National Championship next year. But if he were to move on, anyway, that's me and said, I do love Huff. I do love how tough they play. I love the AJ play. And it's not just 'cause I have a cousin that is on the offensive line. So anyway, Brooks, anything else you want to add to my audience, to make them your audience or anything else you want to add to shit talk me, whatever you want to add, go ahead. - Yeah, your audience seems to love when you get awfully perturbed. Hot take, easier to make a college football playoff in Memphis than it is at Mississippi State. - No, I don't think that's a hot take at all. Listen, we live in a very, Mississippi State lives in a very expensive neighborhood with a lot of very nice houses. And you start getting competitive with the neighbors. You got Alabama over here. You got LSU down there. You got Texas A&M and Texas, like it's tough. It's tough, but you know what? - There's also a mission right there with a little miss, by the way. - They're done, buddy. They're done. I don't care what you say either, they're done. That defense, they got a defensive minded head coach and can't defend me. Lane's gonna take their soul in a couple of weeks. So, I'm not worried about that. I lived through the Lane Kiffin era. I made it. I'm safely ashore and I'm not even looking back at the boat. I'm not even worried about it. Sometimes I turn and look at the boat because I still got turned to that chamois and my god, he's an amazing football player. That being said, you want to say anything about chamois on the way out because if I'm going through the most impressive players of week one, Malachite Tony is certainly one of them. Camario is definitely one of, you know, Jeremiah Smith did his thing. But turn of that chamois, you got to just be over the moon about what he did. - Yes, stumbled out of the blocks a little bit. Didn't look all that great for about a quarter and a half and then it's just like, oh, I remember how to do this. I know what we got going on here. I said going into the year, I thought that Trinidad Chamois, Q1 Lacey and Duce Alexander were good enough for eight wins this season by themselves because of how individually excellent those three players were. - That football game was an exact example of that type of analysis. Those guys are great. - Yeah, they're fantastic. But again, they're going to have to be because that defense has not taken a single step forward and didn't, I didn't appear to know how to play the game with football in the second half. But that's game one, maybe it changes. All right, Brooks Austin, the film guy on YouTube, check him out, he's the man and he's said he will do this as often as I would like to do it. And I like ball nose, so that's Brooks Austin, that's the film.
