called it a hip injury last night uh they were determining whether or not he'd stay in the hospital overnight he is now out for the remainder of the year with that injury that means Connor Harold will be the starter for UNCC we saw him run the ball five times for 50 yards last night he's a dynamic dual threat guy he started the Gator Bowl against West Virginia for UNCC last year but yeah really bad news for UNCC veteran quarterback Max Johnson who came to be the starter at UNC is out for the year that's tough and that of course is the uncertainty of college football what else do we need to know about headed into week one well we need to know that Sunday we're going to see two quarterbacks again in an era where over 50% of the starters are transfers these are two guys that stuck around behind Heisman Trophy winners right there we see Miller Moss he's a local kid from California waited out behind Caleb Williams then obviously uh we have Garrett NM who did the same thing at LSU we'll see how those explosive offenses transition to these new eras an old friend starts for South Dakota State you may remember mark granowski he has 37 wins as a starter if South Dakota State goes on and wins the national title in FCS as their favored to do he'd be the all-time winningest quarterback in all of college football jack rabbits are about a 10-point underdog in Stillwater beware Cowboys so the Georgia running back situation is going to be the most fascinating thing to watch as we go into the Clemson game on Saturday they are expected to be without starback Trevor ATN Rod Robinson his expected back backup is out with an injury so this means we're going to see a lot of Branson Robinson and a lot of true freshman Nate Frasier he's from Los Angeles he's been the buzz of Camp look for number three to give them some explosion tomorrow and speaking of those dogs it is time for our goodye road test the road to the college football playoff begins and ends at mercedesbenz Stadium Clemson taking on Georgia in the afflac kickoff game tomorrow that's at noon Eastern on ABC then we'll be right back there on January 20th oh yeah right back it's going to go so fast for the cfp national championship Dez this is an ACC Goliath in Clemson and SEC Goliath in Georgia what will you be watching for in that matchup well look at Clemson's offense right you know Kade kumnick you know he was up and down a year ago now they went out and got him some wide outs they brought in two five-star freshman wide outs one name is Bryant Wesco he's about 6'2 170 lbs can run like the win and then you have TJ Moore 6'3 190 you put them on the field with Antonio Williams you got something special and they still got pH mafa 6'1 230lb running back so I want to see this offense now with all this new Talent around Kade kutnick that's what I look at too with mafa and that identity they established when he was in the game last year you know kmck didn't have the experience he got as as the season went on and Shipley they moved him around all over the place they didn't have an identity when mafa was in the game the offensive line knew he was getting the ball and there was a mindset the guys a punishing Runner I expect him to get the ball a bunch of times and we haven't even mentioned Georgia but Clemson needs a jump start to this game they have to start fast if they want to be in this game because we know what Georgia brings to the table with Carson Beck and that offense so I'm going to double down on what Desmond said about the receivers I think that unit has been Clemson's weakest link as they've gone from Elite to just very good so I want to see that whole unit Antonio Williams back from injury Wesco coming in as a five star do they have Mike Williams do they have these they had freak shows at that position they had the unit in the country and they had mediocre ACC units they need that unit elevated I think they have the best pieces they've had in the last few years excited to see them against that Georgia secondary great a great test George is excited too some fres meat out there the perimeter and that's what I'm wondering guys how much of a chip on their shoulder does Georgia have after what happened last year with them being on the outside looking in I mean just look at who their head coaches he wakes up with it so yeah it's there's I mean Clemson's got to love being the underdog and playing that role you know they don't get to do it often but Georgia's got plenty to prove as you know they lost out of the playoff you know beat Florida State didn't get any credit for it they're they got to be jacked up for this one ESPN fpi has Georgia with an 82.4% chance to win that game so probably going to go Kirby Smart's way let's take some picks let's make some picks for this weekend's action and we begin with temple at Oklahoma Pete give us a quick thought on the game so Jackson Arnold era starts for okoklahoma five star from Texas lot of hype what will they look like behind a revamped offensive line Oklahoma's tired of people talking about Texas Texas Texas Texas Oklahoma's going to go out and make a statement in this game yeah I feel bad for temple I mean coming in SEC you get a Friday night game that fan base is as good as there is in the country you mentioned Jackson Arnold score a lot of the defense is going to be great for Oklahoma this year and that's I think the big thing they can fall back on as this SEC schedule starts but that offense will go crazy tonight sorry you for sorry for the owls yeah that was a bit of an easy one let's move on FAU at Michigan State Pete what should we be watching for Tom Herman's most dangerous teams when he was at Houston and he was a coordinator had mobile quarterbacks meet cam faner former Marshall quarterback transferred down there they are going to run him a lot in East Lancing tonight and then tailback CJ Campbell is a Florida State transfer they feel like they have high-end Talent at those positions and those two are going to have the ball in their hands a lot tonight Steve who we got yeah I mentioned it before I expect points I think Jonathan quid a great great uh head coach and I I look at the turnover they have Aiden Childs is as talented as there is in that conference so I expect a lot of points but I'll take FAU plus the points I I think they got enough Pete talked about the returning guys along with the transfers Tom Herman was always good as an underdog he wasn't good as a favorite when he got to Texas that that was the problem you're right about that I think it's going to be a competitive game a very close game I'm going with Michigan State I'm going with Sparty TCU at Stanford the last game our guys will pick Pete what should we be watching for in this one they've been a little koi about the starting quarterback at Stanford I've been told Ashton Ashton Daniels is going to start if you don't know look for uh look for our old friend ellic aor to have another big game he had over a thousand receiving yards last year and tiger BM running shotgun with him out wide the talk about teams that took their lumps last year Stanford did that TCU was just a massive disappointment but nobody really thought they could get those expectations of the year before uh I think Stanford is they're wearing Cardinal on Cardinal with the uniforms which I'm not a fan of it looks like practice uniforms but Stanford will keep it close not a lot of people game when TCU was blown out of War it's kind of like they they took a year off they three conference wins but I think they bounced back strong this year I'm going with TCU lost a all of talent as teams that do really well often do in the year following thanks for hanging out with us here on college football live don't forget college game day tomorrow morning 900 a.m. eastern from right here in College Station [Music] takea away from the Thursday action well the the player we just saw Travis Hunter is a dude I mean the the level of play from him at two skill positions wide receiver and defensive back is just phenomenal and then the number of snaps I mean he has a stamina of a world class like Marathon Runner to take all those steps so that last catch though that we saw that's cool that's that's all right that's nice but the last one for the touchdown it's harder than any one-handed catch you'll ever see on any level so his concentration his ball skills his confidence he's just a dude man Pete what did you see Thursday night so I saw cam Rising back and I saw Utah's offense go from completely dysfunctional in the throw game to like looking like Oregon Chip Kelly in 2009 he threw 15 passes he completed 10 he had five touchdowns he was out by the end of the second quarter it was like jarring to see the UTS move the ball like that so look Utah had the number 86 passing offense in the country last year really held them back they played quarterback roulette if Cam Rising can be cam Rising again I think Utah is the prohibitive favorite in the Big 12 and I I goed the SEC we showed him earlier Missouri a lot of guys lost on defense but talking to Eli dwit his two words to year our air superiority and you saw that last night I I love what they bring to the table it's almost like they don't care about defense he knows he's got studs on offense and he's going to feed those guys they lost that defensive coordinator to to LSU that's a big loss for them I've got some superiority happening on my my backside here I know about you guys I got some air superiority happening on the backside here combating these 90° temperatures here in College Station Steve some other games of note this week that we need to be hitting on from a betting perspective take us through through your week one gambling guy yeah we uh talked about it earlier Florida is at home I call it a got to get game when you look at what Florida has on the table knowing what the future brings as far as the schedule you're at home instate rival all those freshmen are now veterans on your team matell is going to be back he's going to play Graham Merz was very good last year in a situation where they didn't think they were going to be good offensively so I expect Florida and a got to get game to cover those two and a half next Oregon everyone de you got right you got to win the title go du so the boys in the in Vegas can cook up numbers according to the point spread and the differential of the point spread and the total so they are projected to score 51 points I think they might score 80 they scored 81 in a game last year Dan Landing in that attitude and what they just put on the gas non-stop I expect a monster output to show us what Oregon has and then tonight Florida Atlantic Michigan State Michigan State as much turnover as anybody in college football Aiden child is the guy earlier this week he said you bet take the over okay well I'm listening I'm taking the over between these two teams Tom Herman's got a lot of guys back from the team that's a very interesting game tonight we'll certainly be paying attention to the Oregon game talk with your pads might be the quote of last season of well as they say here in [Music] you for [Music] [Music] spee Tom spe for spe for e [Music] video [Music] for for right e spe spe e for for for on for
