know you miss it dude you're out you're out there with like 152 consecutive days over 100 degrees it's boring bro 100 over 100 days over a 100 days over a 100 damn that's crazy that's crazy that's absolutely crazy get your G GTB questions all right it's Friday hit us up GTB questions not the Dame college football had NFL had a great start to the NFL season last night Packers Eagles tonight we got Friday Night Football now the NFL's getting greedy you just gonna take the stage from the high school kids on Friday night man high school kids have been stabbing Friday night ESPN but the last five to seven years you just want to be greet taking it to Brazil Petty train to Brazil yeah taking into for what calm down man we're gonna talk about of course Malik three keys he's gonna give his clean sheet and then thumbs up thumbs down last week left thumbs up thumbs down we were at 60% we got three out of five three out of five for thumbs up thumbs down we yeah dude that wide receiver one and then the Riley Leonard one we yeah yeah I think uh man we hit the under on the sacks though we hit the of course we hit the under on the sacks we said two we said we went under two sacks with that young offensive line and we hit that I'm very happy most likely yeah yeah yeah I think I thought we would hit that I think like with us being a primarily run-based offense I still think we are MH you're not going to take as many sacks as even on your pass plays is heavy play action or you're getting the ball out of your hands fast on top of Riley being able to be mobile enough to move around a little bit you put yourself in some good positions so we're home of the misguided passion BR committed to making sure that we spin it before we talk about your three keys I just want to talk about the choke job we saw in Thursday Night Football once again you know another AFC quarterback going up against Pat the Magnificent P the magn that's what his name is magnificent is magnificent magnificent bro and uh yeah bro just another opport for another quarterback to take him down and wide openen receivers and they just choke yeah anything to say for your boy Lamar uh you know first game of the season he's playing he's playing against one of those guys that it just he makes everything bad because even on your best day he you know he can he can ruin your party and so that's his his arch nemesis or his enemy right now and he got to change that one and five to make it five and five one like Lamar Lamar and and but Pat does this to everybody it's just the fact that who else are you comparing Lamar to outside of Pat so when you get to that stage I mean you're you're splitting hairs but they become more critical so if he doesn't win every game Lamar is gonna get it worse than anybody else I tell you that so we're going to tell you something very interesting second half of the show why mid pregame speeches can ruin everything yes I watch one of the man one of the most average big game speeches I've ever watched average oh was super average and it has something to do with Notre Dame we'll talk about the second half of the show you might want to stick around for that once again your super chats we get to them immediately put them in put them in the chat where appreciate you GTB questions put them in the chat we get to them immediately immediately left we had this conversation pre-show based upon what we just talked about the three most unfair positions in sports the three most unfair positions in sports and of course I throw the oops so of course I'm going to relate it to Notre Dame of course I am that's what I'm do that's what I do I set you up for the oop now we just talked about Lamar we saw Josh Allen missed the opportunity Joe Bizzle got him once went to the Super Bowl wasn't able to finish against that the quarterbacks take all the heat they take so much heat this man put up darn in 400 yards of offense against the second overall defense last night of course I mean just flat out with a new offensive line Ronnie Stanley is the only and Lind they're the only leftovers only leftover lefts yeah three brand new starters right Chris Jones dominating the first half just P around then Todd monin I don't know what he was he got lucky in the last play you you left ju Justice Hill to block Chris Jones Chris Jones dude Chris Jones should have just ran him over should have just pushed him all the way back to Lamar I don't know why he tried to run around yeah I don't know but the quarterback left I came to realize last night that these are three unforgiving positions in sports yeah you go ahead and you can add to it or correct the quarterback bro it's just unforgiving you gonna get all the blame no one cares about anything else someone missed the block someone ran the wrong stem on the route they were late on the break no one cares all they see is the ball falling incomplete yeah that's all they really see that's all they really see they don't care about that the hockey go it's so unfair bro because you can literally say 50 you said the hockey you said hockey yep you have 50 saves on 52 shots bro and lose two to one yeah lose two to one and C be like he couldn't have shouldn't have let that one in bro I stopped 50 out of that you don't even remember my job opposite goie the opposite goalie faced 20 shots 20 shots and stopped 19 yeah yeah it's crazy yeah he's gonna get all the credit he's gonna get all the credit literally he had to face 20 shots or goal you faced 52 that's true yeah 52 on shot gave up he gave up one but he only faced 20 shots but he's gonna get started game at in the spotlight at that's different that's different than the picture though that's different I feel like it's the same but different because the go right B you can throw a whole bunch of strikes and but it's different because that's the game too right there yeah hockey is like man you you just taking on all these blows it's like the hockey's more related hockey goalie is more related to an NFL kicker than they are to a the other side I think the pitcher I think they're closer to in terms of getting grief pitchers don't get grief as much because it's like okay you get a home run hit on you it's understandable type because you know the averages are like what was it. three you're a Hall of Famer or something like that yeah so they get the benefit of the doubt goalies and NFL kickers do not they could be out there all day nailing extra points like you said stopping 50 shots on goal and they just won or they miss one one gamewinner or something and this cut him get him off the team so you know what I we can add through we can go to a lesser extent i z Gonzalez didn't miss a kick in college missed his first two kicks in Cleveland and never played again never played again yeah that's true Z side your boyy groupy was incist at Notre Dame had the best pro day of his life life went to New Orleans it was like one of the best kickers in the NFL you're right yeah it's crazy it's crazy the life of a kicker is can be crazy Justin you can see Justin Tucker starting to slide yeah you saw yeah starting to slide yeah yeah he's not as consistent from over 50 um so yeah but quarterback hockey goalie you pointed out golf but that's but can you can you beat it is it they're not g to talk bad about you that's more you talking bad about yourself that's like a mental thing like you more hard on yourself than anybody would be on you in golf because everybody understands how golf is so hard like like we don't talk about Phil Mickelson when he doesn't win like we talk about Ben rothberger when he doesn't win they like [ __ ] that's hard feel for anybody I don't know maybe people think they can play quarterback more than golf or or something but I I treat quarterback like religion and politics no matter what you do somebody's gonna hate your guts it's just not I have I have one left that I think is the most unfair I think it Trump's quarterback really okay have one at Trump's quarterback being the lock down defender on the NBA basketball the dude that has to stick Mike or has to stick Kobe or has to stick LeBron night toight and oh wait wait wait wait and literally holds them to 30 yeah holding them and everybody oh man he lit you up you like fam if it wasn't me he would have 50 he have 45 yeah you getting talked about yeah I'm literally doing the best that I can I'm it's like sticking yers it's like the Sixers right they were in first place they had alen Iverson and they're like I'm missing piece is somebody we know we gonna beat Shaq in the finals we go and get D kimbe for D kimbe to get 33 and 15 put on him in the NBA Finals but you did a good job you did exactly what we wanted you to do exactly what youed exactly what he wanted you to do always kills me because I'm like well he had 40 like what did you exactly want him to do like there's nothing he can do like oh we got to get in his way or slowing down and he has 40 and a gamewinner you're like oh my gosh you hear people on podcast now like man Jo D Mars used to shut Mike down do you know Mike's averaged 35 a game on Jo J Mars in his career yeah 35 and even Joe Dumars when they did the show with the Splash Brothers or NBA TV was like man y'all crazy I don't know what stats y'all looking at I look I had a whole lot of help lot whole lot of help so it is amazing some of those what do you think guys L Nation what positions are unfair in professional sports what positions are unfair in professional sports as we turn to the unfair quarterback position at Notre Dame do you think Riley Leonard is going to get a fair deal this year a do you think is pretty much playoff success a bust for him that's that's interesting it's it's really unfair I think there was some unfair like the throw to Devon Ford a lot of people tried I thought that was totally unfair I'm like bro I never played the position and I can see as fast as the game was this man is being spun around getting out of a sack linebacker bearing down on him about to hit him dead in his chest and he's just trying to get rid of the ball and people were like yo if you make that play he has to make that play I mean that's fair right that's fair in a sense because that's what you brought him here for right to make the off schedule great plays yeah you you bring him to make the plays that we couldn't make last year throwing the ball down the middle of the field getting a fourth and one instead of running out of bounds you know calming the seeds when in games like he did against Texas A&M so ancillary things we're we're very excited that we we have them crazy I got a chance to uh go to a Notre Dame event yesterday at the fiesta bow Museum assistant ad came through Brian uh Apache or aat something like that he was saying how explaining how everything was working and did you know that the the school when they start paying the kids is our fund is $22 million that's pretty good I know two of it went to Riley so you know we always said if Notre Dame wanted to they could play Big Bank take little bank and N we always said that we we know that but they're good stewards we if not they want the boss up they could tell they could tell they could literally tell Auburn to go sit down right right now with do yeah oh yeah like we could and and it's funny because they're they're very like because I asked I said what is the underlying policy for these transfers because you know we're trying to keep up with the Joneses Marcus Marcus Freeman probably got these conversations all he said was Marcus Freeman knew what he signed up for oh absolutely he don't come in here with no arguments he knew what he was getting into yeah except for except for the um assistant head coach there other than that yes he knew he was prepared for that one but so yeah not they is very tight lip they're trying you can tell that they're they're trying to put things in the right place to do these paying for players because you know they they brought up well are they going to be employees and and not was and he was like well just imagine adding 760 student athletes to payroll that can be a little crazy so they're they're hopefully they can keep it uh as a separate pool because if they become employees you know that that lets the floodgates loose you know you I would to get fired hell and firing people doesn't sound like the good stewards that they they they uh portray themselves as so let's talk about this what is going to be this great man great segment thank you for the motivation Lamar Jackson Josh Allen and all the failures up against Patrick Mahomes what is going to be fair and unfair all the failures yes all the failures I call it like it is a failure you didn't win the game you failed yes his toe tapped the back of the end zone so what at the end of the day it's incompletion you failed you lost talk about yeah you should wear white shoes next time see I gota see I'll be mad Pat that was shady by Pat that was shady yeah Pat the Magnificent threw that in like next time some white shoes play that's what iest oh really that's what you would suggest that was pure Petty that was pure Petty but I did love as Lamar left the field he pointed to the stands and said and pointed down and said I'll be back okay I'm here for it I'm here for it it's gonna be another L but I'm here for it they know they can get him always just get they don't they know they can get him the Ravens know they can get him no they don't they had him in the hand they had Bird in Hand did did the Chiefs drop two more touch they still have the drop issues bro they dropped two touchdowns last night yeah they Dro yeah that's what I'm saying it's it's a game of anything can happen in those two matchups it just Falls Pat way most of the time yeah so I'm G put this up here from Irish steel so not a GTB question but he put it in the chat I saw it I think it goes with where we're um I think Riley Leonard won that game for Notre Dame he made plays every time we need him to Iris steel I think I'm going to uh slightly disagree slightly this is this is this is this is this is where the fair and unfair because sometimes we go a little bit too far left a little bit too far right it's always just a little bit not say you wrong all we needed him to do listen to what Marcus Freeman said he didn't turn the ball he didn't turn the ball yeah we I'm sorry ladies and gentlemen that he he's gonna have to make some plays eventually yeah he have to make some play he had zero pass and touchdowns guys come on now about a big time program team Victory on the road that's a team Victory you have zero pass touchdowns that's a team Victory that's a University of Michigan special from last year oh special special because it's like what are we pointing to to say you're the player of the game with zero pass touchdowns and we only scored 20 something points and you didn't run them in so yeah that's a great team win because we have the roster and the depth to make it happen you also say team win because we in that same game there wasn't a single identifying player that you're like oh that's the Zack branch of the team oh that's the best player in the team that we got to go to and feeding the ball it's like we'll get a little bit from over here we'll get a little bit help from here we'll have a guy Popa make a play here so that's a team victory yeah that's a team Victory hell o line did well that's in that fourth quarter when it mattered the most heck Riley Leonard made plays when it matter Old Line blocked the tails off when it matter I actually had somebody post uh comments after I show Wednesday night left that said Riley Leonard was the reason that Jeremiah Love and jaran price got the yardage they got I said I said come on man here we go I mean y'all cap for Riley like this man done is paying your electric bill every Riley Riley had the Xbox and the PS5 joystick in his hand as he handed it off and juked and ran over the linebackers I I didn't know he had that capability left I did not know that I mean we giving the man credit for another man Dynamic he's pretty DN we giving the man credit for handing the we got to stop this okay if he don't have no pass touchdown just leave it at that y'all now taking the credit from the running backs and putting it on him like he was respons like come on just say he just say he can do better and move on my goodness we took the credit from the player of the game who I said was gonna be the player of the game you did you called you called that take that that was one that was one of your thumbs up that was one of your thumbs up Andy you gonna say oh it's because of right come on man what what I would hate for this man to have a bad game no I would hate for this man have a good game this man actually go and throw three touchdowns for 300 yards and do something crazy that I can only imagine the type of gas that'll come from y'all just say the man we won good G and and this game this game coming up is not going this is where I think this is where fans fan bases set themselves up because they set themselves up with Sam Hartman last year oh man and we tried games tried to tell you calm down wait we have to see him against Ohio State and Ohio State exposed every late it out this is who he is this is this who he is this what he can't do this what he can't do that's absolutely absolutely and unfortunately Riley Leonard does not have maybe Louisville might be kind of a litus test the def he's not gonna have one and in games are only going to get more winnable for us as we move forward and I hope he does well it's like this this NIU game is not gonna help the fact that we're not going to be tested okay in the near future so he might go for a thousand yards or something like he it's possible have you SE we have I'm gonna give you three to four statements you tell me whether or not they're fair or unfair concerning Riley ly fair or unfair because we're Fair people on the lucky Lefty podcast people try to say otherwise but what it is it was only game one it was only game one that's fair yes that's fair game one give give him some game one fairness [Music] okay he Riley Leonard has to get better throwing over the middle 100% that's fair and that's Lal okay I mean we saw it I mean that's okay okay the last two good defenses that he's played against Riley Leonard out of his own mouth said it took me three quarters to get seven oh my God that was against Notre Dame last year and Texas A&M this year the same script is it fair or unfair to say he's gonna have to change that narrative when he faces USC or a playoff team unfair because if the two games you ever played are the ones you're mentioning that they take the longest come on man we we hired this we hired this gun specifically he led comebacks in both games though just like Dak Prescott a lead a comeback but he's gonna start down they're gonna start down they're gonna start from behind of course you wow you're crazy you're crazy so yeah we was down we was down in the game yeah we're down twice so yeah that's that will happen more often than not tough games we'll be down and it's gonna take Riley to wake up and you know we come to the last you know the last quarter I guess the way he putting it I mean he's like look guys I'm gonna have y'all panicking for three quarters I'm GNA wake up that fourth one we gonna figure it out it's going to take this is a fill in the blank for you fair or unfair it's going to take more than three games for Ry Leonard to get acclimated to this offense more than three so three plus three are under it'll take three games meaning by Louisville by Louisville he should be ready to go fully ready to go is 40 points a game and you're throwing 250 play because remember with Sam last year we said he's he we're expecting 250 at least two three touchdowns Ryan Leonard should be able to accomplish that like he but it does it from going from 23 fair is it fair to say he should be throwing for 250 with the two running backs he has yeah we had we had be honest against this schedule because honestly if Notre Dame if they do what they do starter should be done by the third they should be done by quarter three quarter three Riley Leonard should be sideline that two drives in the third quarter ryy Leonard should be out of there is doing what suppos it'll take three games it'll take three games okay because he didn't start off fast first week so I mean until he shows he can start fast in that aspect we gotta wait to see that for a couple games then we gota wait to see okay are you putting teams Away by the third quarter second Drive third drive that's a whole another thing I out of starting fast because hell we started fast with Marcus Freeman's first game against Oklahoma state that started fast it didn't in great yeah but he was kicking ass in the beginning so yeah there stages to Riley's development since he's literally learning on the Fly I mean I I would I think that's fair to say he's learning on the Fly he's not just going in there with a wealth of knowledge of what we're doing and comfortable with everything so he's learning as he goes and he has the three games to get it get it right I think you Louisville is a good measurement if if he's come a long way or where he's at but even with Louisville I think we should be we should be dominating that game too and the last one fair or unfair Riley Leonard is dealing with some leftover residue from the failure of Sam Hart via the transfer portal is that fair unfair uh what do you mean um fans there are some fans that say Man we here we go with this transfer portal thing again we have high I haven't seen it I've seen nothing but love and support that's why I'm like uh the same thing you saw at the beginning for Sam har yeah but she saw definitely a 180 at the end of the season yeah I mean [ __ ] did we senior Knight I mean they treated him like he been there since early in Ro leag no people were ready for Steve man jelly to start that ball game oh yeah the ball game yeah yeah when he announced I'm not playing people were like all right yeah it wasn't it wasn't a big deal so man I don't know I think it's we'll [Laughter] see Malik's three keys brought to you by nor whiskey whiskey.com premium American whiskey no whiskey.com at least three keys and the Northern Illinois Huskies invade South B in Notre Dame Stadium on Saturday 2:30 p.m. central that's 3:30 p.m. eastern time Thomas hammock and his Huskies come in man Ontario Brown Ethan Hampton and Trayvon Rudolph are three really good they're three really good players three I think all of them could play Power four football but I'm very interested in seeing you know how they stack up against the defensive talent for Notre Dame this week in that dep yeah so your three keys you've heard all week Marcus Freeman talking about keeping these guys focused getting the phone call from Jim Trestle the players who we hear from in the second half of the show as well they talked about the need to stay locked in Mal Le three keys versus the Northern Illinois Huskies three keys start fast I talked about a little earlier we want to be able to get off and and score at least 21 in the first quarter I think that's the goal to strive for because like you said I I would like to see that third second third maybe fourth unit or guys on the lower half of the depth chart get in and get some and get some run into the third fourth quarter and the only way to do that you got to score at least 21 in the first or or make it hard to come back from early so starting fast and scoring 21 and the first would be my first key uh second key let's have a passing touchdown I'm not just one but let's let's see if we can strive to get at least four I think four is a good number because one it makes up for last week and two it shows that Riley does have some skill it takes skill to get four touchdowns you know you can get lucky and get two it takes skill to get four you know because you're you're consistent so that's a that's a a that's a hard reaching one but I think it's something that needs to be uh strive for I mean hell you a top guy with no passing touchdowns how do you get to New York Ethan Hampton had five for Northern Illinois last week oh my God so like come on dude you you you starting bad now if we trying to get to New York you can't have zero touchdown games it just can't happen last one I think it uh it's hard to give a defensive one for a team I just think we're over over like we're just way better than uh defensively over their offense but it's the same thing the ni's gonna run the football so limiting NIU under a 100 yards I think is is is this the goal because if we could do that then I know uh that secondary is Gonna Come Alive if Ethan starts to throw that football I uh a lot of blown coverages by the worst team one of that worst CS teams that D Western Illinois is aw and it's so funny left because if you go back Western Illinois um has put forth a lot of NFL Talent over the lot of 20 years bro a lot of talent has come out of that program and they fallen on really hard times really hard times I think they will winless last year the way they looked against Northern Illinois they're probably going to end up being winless again obvious shocked if they win a game this year L it was really bad so it was that b yeah yeah yeah yeah it was that bad you know how you watch the full game if you watch the highlights the highlights usually make it look less or it's not as bad watching the highlights as watching the full game or watching the all 22 if you just go watch the Highlight just put a ni NIU Huskies football and watched the highlights from last week it's like a three minute clip it's nothing but busted coverages no penetration in the Run game to get holes is literally hallways just running hallways for the running backs it's crazy they threw a shovel pass a shovel pass that the runner never the receiver technically it's the receiver never got touched they threw a shuffle pass from the nine from the nine left he didn't get touch it was the I'm telling you Western Illinois was that bad Northern Illinois literally took their foots off the break I mean put their foot on the brakes in the fourth quarter backup quarterback was in like into of the third and he scored and L a touchdown Drive oh it's man man it's um Dom walk Northern Illinois played Western Illinois last week stay with me people man dude s you know sometimes people just people get uptight man we're just in a world where everybody wants to counter man they just want just everybody feel I gotta C I gotta disagree instead of just sitting back listening getting the full context obviously he came in mid conversation I'm talking about what Northern Illinois did against Western Illinois and how Western Illinois historically has been a really good program they falling on Hard Times Western Illinois is uh Tony Tony Romo's program right no that's Eastern oh damn they got East West and all of those programs were really good like stepping stone programs back in the day when the transfer rules were different yeah if you went to eastern and western a lot of those kids ended up in Illinois a lot of those kids ended up in Missouri oh yeah it was like a theater school to like the local schools the power five at that time power five schools that were nearby um uh it is very much a big step up right Notre Dame is taking a step down in competition from last week Northern Illinois taking a considerable step up who do you think is going to be more difficult for in this game left uh probably just offense I think just our offense to stay more consistent in drives I think we you know Devon four stands out but that play could have extended the drive D got a touchdown there's missed opportunities in the red zone that we've had that can be more consistent on it's just it's just such a polar opposite from our offense to our defense it's harded when you talk about things defense gets better at it's minute it's things that are like okay that's just a he just got to see it more or whatever the case is we have an execution problem sometimes offensively so the Gap I I think closing that would will'll get closer to that as we go through the season like a Northern Illinois game is a game where you close the gap so scoring four touchdowns being dominant off far as perception so now if Notre Dame building a perception to the rest of college football the rest of this schedule is that what you're saying we can we can help build a perception of oh these guys are nasty it doesn't matter who they're playing they're putting up 45 and playing their young guys by the fourth third quarter that's what Alabama was doing hell Georgia does it every week except now they've taking it to a level where they're putting in their young guys in the first quarter they're integrating young guys in the first quarter to play so you know I think that we have enough Talent on the roster to where we don't have to you know kill our starters with a heavy production load against teams that we can get out of here by the third quarter let this still be an angelli season or a Kenny mchy season by doing what we're supposed to do early on and I think you would get the most out of more players because when we was with Brian Kelly like we had Josh Adams and Dex and all these guys we'll give Josh Adams the ball a thousand times when we had CJ and Josh Adams and de we gave CJ the ball a thousand times ran him into the dirt literally ran him ran him into getting injured he was injured going into the league and it's just crazy Josh ran him into the dirt 33 trucking truck the whole time with running backs on the roster by the time he got to the NFL Josh Adam he had two knee braces at running back he was done yeah two knee braces at running back come on bro you might last six weeks in NFL so it's like now we don't do that now it's like de mccullum's just round robin in the room who W who want to go who want to go who want to go and he and he I like how he's as much as Jeremiah love in my opinion is the one jarian price got in in crucial moments in the game yeah it was a hot hand thing yeah he was sticking to the two top dogs but hey he's not afraid to to to put in the running back by committee either yeah were you done was that did you get through all three uh my last one yeah cuz I I got off on this it's hard to give a defensive one because oh no I did the last one was a defense if we can stop running you know niu's the Ontario Smith kid onario Brown Ontario Brown not bad so we can slow that down I think it give us more opportuni to get the ball back on offense so we can score more points you know more three and outs equals more points that should be our ideal um theme for this game yeah it was very impressive what the Northern Illinois Huskies were able to do against Western Illinois leathernecks I always wanted to say I always laugh at their uh Hey Western Illinois is a great party school by the way hey you we yeah we used to make the trip to mome a lot as Illinois students that's got to be in the middle of nowhere is in mome yeah yeah it's it's Southwest of champagne um champagne is nothing up there champagne is central Illinois though it's more Central right it's smack dab really not Central it's hour 15 from Chicago champagne a real yeah well the way I drove back in the day I was 90 all the way it was an hour 15 for me but you know hour 30 minutes to Champagne from Chicago not so it's like getting it's not really it's getting close to Central Illinois mome and Illinois State Illinois state is really is kind of in between uh Eastern is literally Southeast from Champagne Western is Southwest from champagne and then you have Illinois state which is decar which is I mean not decar normal um which is straight across to the West so they're in close proximity the only one that's a great distance is Southern Illinois which is basically you might as well put it in Memphis oh it's all the down there it's literally the bottom of the state but they won 54 to 15 uh as I said left uh Ethan Hampton 225 yards he was only 15 to 20 for five touchdowns that just lets you know bro 33% of his passes went for touchdown yeah that just lets you know and then um the Rudolph kid four receptions 104 yards and one touchdown that one touchdown once again was a blown coverage and then Ontario Brown the running back eight carries for 69 yards you know they dude they treated Western Illinois the way they were supposed to be treated by a m team yeah and honestly they treated Western Illinois the way I expect Notre Dame to treat them yeah all honesty we should treat little brother yeah right remember we gave you this money to come out here so we can tap on your head a couple times right so let's let's keep it like that let's not make it like a surprise like oh we're giving them the game of their life so let's get through these matchups before we we have some GTB questions too let me get to those GTB question Indy Milton fan do you think running backs like the round robin rotation or do you think they want the ball every snap uh as an athlete you you definitely want the ball as much as you can um now in 2024 everybody's thinking longterm and B brand and staying healthy and all that so you know I don't think the callus is there to take the ball 25 30 times a game so I'm sure they have a good Community thing going for us to be recruiting at a high level in the running back room the dividing up the bread like we do those guys got to have a selfless personality to begin with cuz he if I go in there I'm recruit I'm keing young I'm like yall got Jeremiah love y got this guy I got that guy this I don't know if I'm if I'm selfish I want 30 carries a game I'm not going no facts so for their personality to be like oh running back by committe can still get me to where I want to go credit to Dena McCulla obviously but also credit to those if you find the right guys hell and that's a lot of what the assist ad said yesterday he said listen we got to find guys that more of the guys that fit that mold for Notre Dame we we might not get the most attraction because of the the the the bank situation or our tough policies but if we can find more Notre Dame guys like the way Marcus Freeman has been doing them the the ad the ass ad we got them but I don't think we got them yet but he said he said they're out there I'm like yeah I mean but you know we're keeping up with the Joneses don't always fit in the policies of what we carry as Notre Dame so yeah how long does that ride next to each other I also asked him I know this off topic but I also asked him about what playoff positioning being at the highest that we can go is five and those games being cold in December for that first round would that push us to potentially join in the conference cuz I mean I can only imagine he said well the way they set it up this the best place we could be to get the most out of it he said well eight years from now maybe we gotta see how it yeah we gotta see how it goes but he said the way Jack set that thing up he feels like no D's in the the best position they can be being independent in all things included agree GTB question from my guy Irish gordian not what is an impressive statline for Riley Leonard against Northern Illinois 300 four touchdowns and like 80 on the ground I don't even know he's G is he going to play enough to get those stats you getting 3004 touchdowns yeah you starting fast starting fast I'm going to say two I'm about to lower the bar really low I can't even believe I'm doing this 15 for 22 233 touchdowns and leaves the game in the after one drive in the third quarter 230 on 15 throws you balling left I told you yeah I mean you know I wasn't focused on the youing yeah some chunk plays yeah see that's that's what I'm talking about that's what I'm talking about that means we gotta run the hell out the ball then that's all that mean yeah yeah uh uh D ladies and gentlemen I I whatever domma wop's talking about I have no clue man and if the worst thing you've ever heard from somebody is go to hell I've had coaches tell me worse I've had bosses tell me worse like are we kid dude I don't even talk about coaches worse and then this crazy thing people always because it's all you know how it is in football the flag is always thrown on the person that reacts right people they have nothing to say they take no accountability with their slick mouths in the in the chat in the chat they feel like they can say whatever they want to say how they want to say it and we're just just supposed to take it right we tell people all the time you can say whatever you want to say in the chat you would disagree but when you make something personal we've been upfront we're going to get at you and we're going to tell you how we feel first interaction with him was on Iris breakdown when he made a personal comment about my dad I stopped in the middle of the show on somebody else's platform like I don't do that I don't do that so I'm the same I'm the same person September 2023 I'm the same person sitting right here 7 September 2024 everybody in the chat would tell you last week we had somebody that got personal with you left I stopped the show we don't do that we don't do that either you can you can leave the chat or you can continue so we don't have a problem with you disagreeing but we do have a problem is with you saying stuff highminded stuff in the chat making it personal and then thinking that we don't have the right to respond to you just because you said it in the chat or disagree nah that's not how it works you can say whatever you want to say but what you're not going to do is you're not going to disrespect people in the chat because we stick up for people in the chat and we'll continue to do it and you're not about to disrespect Us in any way form or fashion so maybe you need to go back to that show in September and see what you said and take accountability for what you said and how you said it just maybe just makebe Lilo galante GTB is lucky Lefty SD left headed to hotlanta October 19th I am me and my boys from College from the eye we're going down there you said from the eye yeah one of my boys he lives in Atlanta so he made that trip we're doing that trip and then remember I told you we're going to see Illinois Duke yeah up in Madison Square that'll be a good game yeah in uh in February so those are our two trips that we're we're taking so it should be fun it should be fun um [Music] man stop bringing up church dog you can't there's another thing you can't I know my call I know my call you go ask the people in my church the people in the Rosen Community around Chicago I check out Chicago so you can't check me about church you miss that you can drop that's lame all that that direction that's lame now you're being a super Lan you're trying to go with a weak low hanging fruit that discussion and argument that's lame you can check my reputation as a man of God feel free go do your digging see what you come up with I stand on that no problem like I said you go check the things that you say and then take accountability for that and I'll worry I will worry about what I say and I'm fine with that I'm fine for that D Money D I don't I'm not you can't buy me bro what you talking about I'm supposed to respect you disrespecting me and talking to me any type of way because you invested some money or gave some money no sucker that's sucker stuff bro that's really weak if that's the way your mind is in life man you messing with the wrong one Marshall and Kathy Davis raised a different dude that's right sorry I'm a different dude sorry we come back left let's get into the players what they had to say some very interesting stuff you're gonna like Jaylen sne comments you're going to like Bo Collins comments and oh man looking at the run down you have it in front of you love I got it we'll get to thumbs up thumbs down our prediction and oh before we go give your clean sheet I'm sorry left give your clean sheet clean sheet yes so on the game man I thought what we did well was control the momentum I thought we always had a uh a good opportunity to stay in the game and score when we needed to we was never taken out of that position of oh we're hoping that takes A&M messes up it was always in our control which I loved and um and we can win like that as long as we keep the game in our possession uh defensively they did exactly what I thought they would do make it manageable give us a easy game hell all we gotta do is score what three touchdowns that's it okay we can do that and I think that is gonna set the tone for how we need to address the rest of the year we don't need to score a 100 we need to do enough to win then we we sprinkle the rest on top and then lastly to see our special teams make an impact change the field a little bit shows that all three phases of the game are operable but also we need all three phases until we figure out what that identity is GNA be to start kicking off these points lucky lucky podcast when we come back we'll get to it man can't

patreon.com Luckley Network home of the misguided passion you already know we spin it different left I watched the most incredibly average big game pregame speech ever bro so on SEC network there's a series called the post and they follow different teams throughout the year this year one of the teams they follow or following is the Texas A&M act Texas A&M act and coach ELO his pregame speech was absolutely mid it was the oh my I'm sitting here and I say that I say that because we saw Marcus Freeman coming out the tunnel we've had several players in the post game and throughout this week talk about the pregame speech that he gave and how everybody in the room was fired up G coaches players everybody was fired up by what Marcus Freeman said pregame and then he got them even more fired up as he let on Tunnel yeah right ladies and gentlemen I wish I had the clip copyright infringement I really I it would be audio and I just decided to let it go but if you have a chance to DVR or look it up on YouTube The Post Texas A&M episode one from this year because it goes to that fall camp and does the Notre Dame game it was it was oh it was the most he had to use AI he had to you he had to use AI for that don't got it though some guys it was the most uninspiring pregame big game uninspiring yeah it was just I was like Mike that for your first one and for that one to be your first one I expected a little bit more left I did I did but how can you he's never been a ra ra guy anyway he always felt like he gave me um corporate office presentation PowerPoint slide speeches yeah yeah super chat from my guy ND Milton fan um but you said pregame speeches can ruin the move you you said that yeah right you at your most tense moment right before you run out and then you get this lame unenergetic speed you're just like oh my God all a build right it's a bu a build it's a build and you flatten my build off yeah yeah me on my knee for a long time and you just it's too quiet and you ain't talking about nothing and we don't believe you so yeah yeah um I love his I love them in the the tunnel left you love him getting hype in the tunnel right and it was authentic it was authentic it was authentic it wasn't like uh postgame Brian Kelly yeah well or pregame Brian Kelly we he just standing there in the middle like man move around like you know you act like you the statue we rolling out the tunnel I'm just G finish this whole conversation to chat off ladies and gentlemen I'm a grown man I deal with things face to face I don't have to go on somebody's platform to deal with things old boy has my phone number oh we just put it out yeah he has my phone number if he if he really wanted to get at me and say something he should have done that you don't wait to come on a platform that's enough said that shows me everything got yeah and I have I have communicated and everything that he put about what he gave I literally text him after that September 20 and and thanked him for what he did after that after that there was correspondence and now you know this showboating today I don't even know I don't know you know what father God whatever this gentleman is dealing with in his life whatever has his Spirit man off and unbalanced we speak that you bring his life and everything back into balance that he would be able to move forward and move on from things that he's holding on from over a year ago because obviously it's really burdensome to him so free him of that and release him into His blessings and abundance in his future in Jesus name amen what say that's real bro I don't have time I To His blessings Shan releas him you had do I don't have time because I don't hold on to that stuff I told you I'm mov on there was a correspondence even after that and if he wanted to say something he could have called me could have called you having the number put you out there now you out there or text me this as simple as that waiting to come to a platform come on man how many chances is this staff gonna give Mills has he actually gotten any better in the last two years or oh can he live so much ultimately he get bullied more than anyone all 22 Riley Mills I'm assuming he's talking about Riley Mills uh well I don't think any I don't think anybody really thought Riley was like a round he's not he's not a fski he's not a he's he's a Kurt highish you know he'll probably make a team and you know be a compliment to a superstar guy somewhere but Riley was never the the exacting X Factor weight anchor of the defense we're like oh man without Riley we couldn't do this that of other Riley's just been a a player that's developed over time earned his stripes he gives good production it may not be what we want from a Jaylen sne or some of these younger impact players but you know Riley understand this his last year because he probably sees it writing on the wall the talent in the dline room what's getting recruited what's and shaping the program him Steve all these guys are like yeah this this probably my last one yeah you you getting pushed out through the bar raising would Riley be recruited now in 20124 as a fresh probably not because the standards have changed hell Riley you got to do three or four different things on your film now you got run down on special teams you got to play defense line you got to play a little bit offens line hey if you play tight end and catch the ball you gotta do a little bit that too recruiting is different so yeah this is like that's why I said if Steve don't play now he'll never play because the bar has been raised he just happened to fit that that tenure so he didn't want to get rid of you know you keep that tenure position but after that you gotta hey we got upand cominging talent that need to play all estimate saw it writing on he said hell I can't come back and I'm about to get drafted I can't come back yeah which is fine you know hey [ __ ] uh Irish field 63 appreciate you for tapping in gauge the success of this game by when Angeli comes in what is the best case worst case would be he doesn't make it in I guess he doesn't make he doesn't make it um yeah he plays what success I guess for Steve this game he comes in I assume he's playing he should if he play it would be disappointing to me it would be disappointing on the STA to it would be disappointing to me for the staff how are you not preparing a game that you know you should win but having a plan for these younger guys to get in or get filtered throughout the game because we're thinking long term we're not thinking oh we have to win this or nothing this is this is only setting the stage for how we execute these other games right I mean we need to have a plan in place if you putting in guys that are young yeah you got to surround them with guys that know what they doing and you're not just gonna put a full fresh young team out there you gonna try to intermix them and you know you want to get experien Because by the time game 12 comes everybody on the Rost needs to have that built up experience you know C agree that on I agree with that absolutely since everything is by committee now [ __ ] I mean why not uh no this one from Gino just a comment from you boan Malik we appreciate y'all what y'all do for us here we thank you we don't do foolishness shout out Malik for coming through the alumni joint too Gino yeah you're out there in Arizona it's good for you to tap in with us we appreciate you my dude love and appreciate you uh uh anything else before we get to uh uh let's see I think that's it I think that's it all right left let's get to some of these players and what they said this week Northern Illinois in the face off against Notre Dame 3:30 Eastern time and Bo Collins talked about handling things and moving forward for sure man it's it's really about body language man like the guys they a lot of younger dudes look up to guys like myself and just see how we react to things how we uh prepare like pregame stuff like if we're out there just looking around and awe and things like that so yeah definitely going into with a mindset of um just going in there executing and handling our businesses is big time uh it just look like a guy that understands the mission I mean he came as a transfer he said look I'm coming here to do business we come here to win these games and and and make sure guys are in the right spots so and and it shows it shows that he's about his business for him to be able to make an impact when we haven't heard much from him offseason now I know he was nursing an injury or coming back but for him to have the mindset to come back and be a significant player in the game and making plays when his numbers called that's credit to Bo being ready for the moment and he obviously came from Clemson a good program they've been the Championships before so he knows that environment and it fits I mean you can tell that him and Riley have some Synergy and hopefully it grows over the over the year yeah all agree man I absolutely agree so also Bo Collins talked about making plays and um just listen to this level I'm very interested especially in you hearing what he said about uh opportunities in the Texas A&M game I knew I could get some of those deep balls going but uh I wasn't overly anxious wasn't pushing it for you know Riley to speed up his reads or anything like that I just want him to be comfortable back there get the rhythm of the game and things like that and it was all going to take care of itself and kind of kind of a two-part question one Freeman talk about why receivers can you know they want the ball um how much you guys want to take the top off maybe you like Chris Mell but also how important and intenal was the blocking in that match up with you guys on the outside oh yeah man games like that of course game one you want the rock like we practice a whole bunch of plays where we going deep deep balls um head topping them and stuff like that but uh you know just focusing on our job whatever needed to get done at that moment even Coach Brown mentioned um prior to the game that morning like we may have to run the ball 60 times or we may throw it 60 times whatever you got to do to get your job done do it so that's the mindset we went out there with is that trouble you left that he said I'm not gonna sweat Riley to get through his progressions and guy that knows what Riley can do [ __ ] I mean hey if you can't Hammer if you can't Hammer the nail I'm not going to ask you to hammer the nail like you know he put you on the screwdriver did that kind of sound strange I was like is he supposed to be saying this yeah he's like look I'm not about to stress this man [ __ ] if if I get opportunity I get opportunities man I'm I'm you know we'll work on pressing I could imagine I mean probably half the time they probably feel bad pressing him because he uh you know he's in the faith so you don't want to feel like you pressing the wrong button so so I do think that that's that's mature of a guy like Bo Collins to say but at the same time I mean hell we got hella hella receivers now but I was just saying today was my day tomorrow maybe Jordan greous day maybe Jaden Thomas day whatever but today was my day I'm not gonna trip over me getting it more but when he did get it he made it count and it and it won the game for us I just really think that what he said is absolutely hilarious bro yeah yeah yeah absolutely hilarious I ain't gonna sweaty yeah it's fun ladies and gentlemen man I tried to pray I lit tried to pray for the situation that the dude just won't stop man I need everybody look it doesn't need to be a battle in the chat leave him leave him alone he feels the way he feels I don't need protection I don't need protection I'm good I'm good yeah I've let it go I've been released into my future bro I don't I don't have an issue with anybody I don't hopefully his heart can let it go as far as him talking about I told him I was gonna get back to him dude I got receipts see I keep text messages bro text messages I all I see is September 15 well done next thing November 30th sending me Tik Tock videos December 13th sending me other videos then talking about his family his cousin doing charity work all it is bro God bless you all of this stuff what's happening this is after September after September he sending me all this stuff saying God bless you and now he want to step he wants to step on the platform today and have a issue when he's been texting me the entire time after September 23rd that that's that's where it gets corn ball for me bro like what are we doing what are we doing you take the time to text me about everything else and now you want to step on the platform and get a spotlight that's not the way you do things bro you w to say if you want to say the way I spoke to you is not the way you do things the way you're operating as a man is not the way to handle things it's not so there you go there you go and my phone is still right here the number still the same still haven't received anything since you feel that way lucky lucky podcast Jaylen sne said he was fired up not only after the game before last week's game and then going into this week wait till you hear what he says moving forward left but he talked about being fire great to see all my boys playing fast playing hard uh coach Freeman really talked to us before the game and like he really got us all hyped up so we're all ready to go so it was a great game talking about that moment man that's viral you know like Freeman out there front know the lineman hying you guys up we've never seen have you guys ever seen that you know pregame um and what was that like out of out of body experience I've never seen it but I know it got me fired up I was ready to go after that so Jay me was in the back he probably couldn't see over the offensive lineman so he really never saw Marcus Freeman but he was like yo he already had us fired up from the locker room like even if I didn't see that he didn't pull a Mike ELO pregame he he gave a good speech was sweating like the kids coming out of the tunnel that's why I play for him now ladies and gentlemen the coach look bigger he looks with the team with the lineer look like he down a little bit this offseason and got a little yeah he looked a little yeah he in there yeah that shirt looked a little smedium cause because they say they said they said coach you gotta show us how to do some of these drills now you got he was like what I need to he to wrap up speed agility all that man coach still got it coach still got it man so you know he see Mike Elco you could tell the speech wasn't gonna be good his belly got bigger since I last seen him he waddling down the tunnel you know guys guys trying to move fast and Urgent he ain't moving fast and Urgent so your speech ain't fast and Urgent you know Marcus Freeman sweating like he about to put on helmet how you not want to play for that man it's funny it's funny hey guys leave hey let him let him be man I told let him be yeah stop stop stop feeding stop feeding the energy man let him be if he wants that attention I prayed for him twice bro pray for him twice tried to release it move on it's it's dud stop he he obviously just would never admit to anything he's a victim he's a victim and it's cool it's cool man let him let him have his platform boy he wants his 15 minutes or his hour today let him have it man it's okay God bless him God bless so our guy uh leavon Whitaker ask Jaylen sne this week um about being hyped and coming off a big win and you know a step down and competition and Jaylen sne had this to say I love this Notre name fans take a listen Northern Illinois doesn't have the same level like you know for us it does yeah it's the same level importance it's a great game uh we're going to come playing fast and hard okay okay Jason he Tred you know like man you know it's not the same height same not level no Jason like no man no sir we bringing it I like that I like that Focus I like that Focus love guys to give no excuses we just gonna get it done I mean hey they've trained so long to prepare for these 13 14 moments and so you know I think him especially his journey specifically go this year man I don't care let me just get out there fly around make some plays and I think uh the freedom that Max Bullock and and Marcus Freeman allows these linebackers to play with you see the flashes you see Drake Bowen stuff in the hole creating piles you see jayen sne smacking stuff out of bounds you see uh Jack Kaiser and those and those linebackers Osberry and those guys to see how they're they're moving with intention and they're moving with urgency it's not like they're sitting there trying to read every everything and then and uh break down everything they seeing there they see a key they hit a key they run and get to the ball so that's the youth that I think we need defensively and it's showing up and hopefully it shows up this week too yeah it's I'm having fun now left I'm having fun now right because now the chat my texts were super mean some of the text that you sent me oh yeah right yeah yeah oh yeah yeah yeah now yeah he's the victim and you the bully sh I said it dude I do Tuesday wait wait CU he talking

it's not trying to step on a platform like bro stop stop I told you I'm a different dude you don't don't don't do that don't don't do that man don't do that it's could have been a very simple text he you gonna jump in the chat and say something but then say I went crickets I just pointed out seven months of text messages after the alleged incident but you want to jump in the chat like I text him and then about it and then it was crickets dude we kept texting stop just let it go let it go and now you're in the chat trying to make fun of what I went through last year with my chemotherapy and Trying to minimize it you think you're the only person that win something where are you going with this man yeah what do you want out of this what do you want yes please tell me what you want and we can just be done bro because at this point it's really it's what do we doing what are you doing because now you getting people in the chat riled up and I'm trying to get them to stop coming at you what is it that you want man obviously you're just expressing your feelings bro you're in your feelings today want to get on the show bro we can get on get you on the show man that's fine fine it's cool but all the extra stuff man we're trying to do a nice show give our predictions and get out of here Mike Den Brock bro he had this to say that's a both of those guys deserve to have the hand their their hands on the football so you know I think as the year goes along there'll be games where where Jeremiah gets the the bulk of the carries there'll be games maybe where JD gets the bulk of the carries and we're move we're using Jeremiah maybe in different ways but you know those guys are important pieces of what we do offensively and they both have to be a big piece of it yeah that's why I left I can't when you say I forgot was it I forget I don't want to say the wrong person but someone in the chat earlier said what's a big game for Riley Leonard against NIU game I [Music] do a big game's got to be obviously you know early on doing what he does best so if his strength is running around and [ __ ] then this this good game is having 200 yards running around and [ __ ] I me couple touchdowns you know things that wolf we were infatuated with while he was at dup we wasn't infat ated with him at Duke doing Sam Hartman things so that wouldn't be I mean it would be a big game for his personal growth to have a Sam Hartman statline or a Jack con statline yeah but that's that's just not his strength so I guess you know a big game for Riley Leonard is whatever he does well running around the running around stats need to look good and a reflection of a good game that he's a part of is a score over 40 points so that's how you can quantify it in a sense you know so well I think I get the sense I apologize for not connecting with you to talk about the 23rd or September 2023 because obviously that's what you want to hear I'm sorry that I didn't contact you to talk about that yeah BR you messed up man dang bro that's all he wanted because he needs obviously is something no it's it's big deal now cross the line Sean no I don't d i don't that's your feelings I respect your feelings you disappoint my apologies my bad dog I said I would get back to you I don't remember back then dog I said you I would get back to you I didn't fine but as a man when things like that happen like I do with my best friends when they say they going to get back to me on something you know what I do I hit them again or I reach out because maybe maybe just maybe something happened maybe something has transpired in their life you know what let me make sure they're good that's all bro and if that's what you need I have no problem I'm not prideful all I hope that's enough for you I really do see do as I said before my prayer was authentic man I need you to be that's something you you've been holding on to that you've been holding on to that you need to be released from that man because I don't want that to have a domino domino effect it impacts other relationships you have with people I don't want that for you yeah I yelling at I apologize how that impact you see people that don't really mean it they say stuff like I apologize if or or they hit you with the I sorry you yeah yeah yeah no no I don't do that I'm sorry I impacted you yeah that's yeah all right because it's really not obviously for you it was serious it was deep for you yeah obviously it was man I didn't know I was gonna have to do ministry work and host a show today bro one man army Anthony nap he gave kudos to Marcus Freeman pregame too though Anthony nap getting ready for his first start at left tackle in Notre Dame Stadium it's so electric it's just having someone like that in your corner saying they believe in you it makes you just want to go run through a brick wall you know I mean they helped in the choices that helped me be in that position where I am today so um it just gives you that extra burst of confidence that I know what I can do I know I'm here to you know not make it bigger than what it is um you know trust your guys cuz they're going to trust you and it just helped out a whole bunch to be honest with you it was funny because Anthony nap man let me tell you something Anthony KN was one of the realest interviews they asked him about that game bro he was like yo he was like man I ain't know let me I'm paraphrase he was like love he was like I ain't know yes yes he he he was honest he was I a know he was like yo I knew who I was going up against I'm a freshman man he said but after the first two snaps I knew I had my my technique down I knew my technique could work I knew I belonged he was like from that point on I I just just played went to the next play went to the next play but that man that's real I love athletes that can just be honest like hey man yo yo like like your boy Isaiah likely last night I don't know what they got him they got him from Baltimore they got him from the city of B if if that's if that's the best they got they in trouble in the post trouble Pat just beat you with the worst team he had dude he literally walked into your building went 10 for 10 first quarter 10 for 10 in the first quarter he literally took his worst team yeah came to your stadium and beat you when you were the number one seed and you had the nerve to sit there and say if that's the best they got they beat you with the worst they had in the postseason see stuff like that he he doesn't know what it takes bro he doesn't know he doesn't know what it takes that was funny that was funny that was funny that was funny it was funny cuz he because he's he like only he's speaking from a very uh what do you call that uh hindsight view like a very fresh emotional view he ain't thinking down the line he thinking right now like we had to go go back outside after this little interview and play right now we got you he ain't thinking I got week two against Miami week three against Patriots week four against yeah he got a whole season this one game ain't gonna start nothing dog facts luy lcky podcast you ready to play thumbs up thumbs down left let's do it let's get to it bro thumbs up thumbs down before we get to week two game predictions headline by Notre Dame NIU and don't forget big matchup coming up Michigan Texas I'll tell you about my chance meeting I had as I picked up my wife's prescriptions yesterday with a big time Michigan fan at Walgreens bro it was dude it was pretty cool we'll get to that when we give our predictions Riley Leonard throws for 250 yards and two touchdowns thumbs up thumbs down thumbs up because I I would like Jesus Christ so yeah if you go crazy you balance the scales we trying to get you to New York you need it like a fat kidneys Kate yeah Den Brock's like bro I'm trying to get you to New York you starting off terrible zero yeah 4500 yards 40 touchdowns that's that's Heisman I got Marvin Bell he says thumbs up all right that's that's like a automat it's a force thumbs up because if it's thumbs down then [ __ ] we ain't we not doing what we supposed to do and then also 200 yards combined for the running backs 200 they had 198 against Texas A&M thumbs up thumbs down th up we should get 250 we should get I love jaran price you got thumbs up for over 200 yeah we should yeah we should be up there NIU quarterback Ethan Hampton threw for five touchdowns against Western Illinois thumbs up thumbs down Ethan hun Ethan Hampton would throw for two touchdowns against Notre Dame thumbs down okay okay that's a thumbs down for Hampton coming off Illinois last week one of your keys was to hold the backup running back AJ Smith em Smith's son under 100 yards Notre Dame did that this week backup running back for NIU with not the a hold him under 50 yards that's the Crux of the defense where we have to get better is to do stuff like this and eliminate big games by these guys and I think we're able to do that I think we're still hungry we're still flying around and we'll be able to Quail that I think early the earlier we get on them the easier it'll be Notre Dame will have more than two sacks against Northern Illinois Notre Dame will have more than two down thumbs down wait a minute they have more sacks than Texas A&M and that they have zero has zero exactly you don't think not D can get over two sacks against Northern Illinois I think we'll be in the backfield a lot I just maybe we just allergic to sacks I don't I you know why because I can't tell you who's going to do it yeah who's going to do it yeah if you could name a person that you boom Oh Heracross boom then I'll be like okay we might get one or I can't name a guy on the team that's that would even he would run himself into a sack I think that's how we get sacks through the blitzes and all that but we ain't got that yet showing all you guys your thumbs up Jeff Luke says push okay John Massie trolling we want pressures not sacks remember John Massie you are a mess as always my brother uh vub good to see you V du vub said thumbs up uh and then the last thing left Vegas is funny I told you Vegas boy they real you in Notre Dame is favor about 25 and a half points left 5 and A2 points but the over under is at 45 and a half they're favored by 25 and A2 but the over under for the total is 45 A2 they saw us put up 23 and no touchdown that's why I'm telling you left that means Notre Dame could cover 38 to S and hit the under on the tot it's a trick bag left you got to understand how big this is bro this really isn't about Notre D's offense because Notre Dame probably gonna put up 30 but Notre Dame could put up 38 and hold Northern Illinois to seven and that under is hitting and Vegas is like Vegas is like yeah you got you got us on the line got us on the line but got you on the to we got you on the total baby put yeah they put it in there got watch or Northern Illinois could back door the line and let's say Notre Dame wins 41 to 17 yeah the problem is is can we and hits the over right you take not d That's say you take not D winning you take the under now you lose that bet dude Vegas is I told everybody when they start flipping the line for Texas A&M I'm like they're trying to reel you in trying to reel you in they trying to get don't fall for it and that money kept coming in on Texas A&M I'm like people are falling for it people are falling for it and and they hit the under and it's the under well I mean the the last game just put me off so much because the potential to score more is there we know that defense not allowing too many points is there we know that but the Gap is too far in between like you said it could easily be seven to 38 and still lose are we a 40 point plus team this week I don't know because I think that n would have to would take enough clock off to where we won't we won't get to that number you think they're going to try to limit the possessions not limit possessions necessarily but they're a running team like I mean they our formation they'll run the football so that that time naturally is knocked down a little bit and we haven't looked like a team that's scoring in in one or two plays yet yo so I just thought about this you did the Northern Illinois game Tulsa game yeah the day of the Ohio State game and came down and you came and you drove and picked me up yep went we drove to the Ohio State game I forgot you did Northern Illinois the same thing had Scout for a year in advance that's all I was scouting a year in advance yes they had that Lombardi kid at quarterback who end up getting on the team it's crazy like nepotism is real transferred from Michigan State yeah but never start out State I don't I just think that if l a much better quarterback even Hampton's a much better quarterback than rocky but if Lombardi can get a job in the league shador should be number one if we work in nepotism I can't wait to see shador and rayola prime time tomorrow night oh it's a night game yes sir must have changed it to a night yeah that prime time baby Nebraska Colorado I can't wait for that I can't Dylan rayoga did look good last week who they play he Dro he dro some great throws though you know Nico bro I'm watching Nico against North Carolina State K Gibbs is Gonna Come on with us for the postgame show to talk about Nico he's got to because I am interested in seeing how Nico does oh against that defense I'm I'm not convinced I'm not convinced that Nico is gonna live up to the hype yeah I think he's more of a djonga g than anything yeah I'm I'm very interested Nico has some throws against uh the show read and react on SEC network with Cole cuck and um H what's the brother the um safety from uh he played Safety at Alabama dude play for New orle Roman Harper oh oh ran Roman Harper super cool dude if you ever meet him bro super Roman Harper's dope man he's a coach now isn't he I know he works for the SEC network is he coaching I don't know I thought he I thought he was man I thought he was coaching oh man I'm talking about one of the most down the Earth played in the league for like 10 12 years make you feel like man like yo he ain't too big you know you get around some of these casters on TV and they act like they superstars it's like fam come on man he's a very down toe brother man they have a great show re react he highlighted some of the throws that Nico made just literally like zinging the ball past the ear hold of the defender like the dude's not even open he ain't open Nico just made him open with this throw AB man if I could suggest for any fan for any fan if I could suggest a show for you to watch if you love college football watch reing react they do a fabulous job of breaking down F fabulous job each and every week let's get to it left week two Notre Dame Northern Illinois what's your score I got us 45 to 10 45 to 10 so all right so you taking the man they hitting the line and the over all right left we easily we're easily a 34o team too that's I'm I'm only saying 45 I'm hoping and wishing we have the capability to score that much because we have it on the roster realistically we're 3436 tomorrow on Saturday I think all included Riley still getting comfortable and you know his skill set is just got to activate man it's just got to activate so I think I'm betting 45 I'm good with 45 however I do think we're in the 34 36 range at at Max potential right now I think all season long this Notre Dame defense if you're going to get them you have to get them early if you don't get them early you're in trouble because I think they're going to be very much like a bow constrictor they're going to tighten and tighten and tighten as the game goes on so you got to come in with a great clean sheet a great 15pl script take advantage of them early while they're getting used to your offense I think Northern Illinois because of all the eye candy they give all the jet motion action all the counteraction away from where the play is actually going and in the whe routes I think they might hit one or two get in scoring range and might be able to cash it in early but to be able to consistently move the ball on this Notre Dame defense I don't think they find success doing that 41-13 41-13 Notre day 41 to 13 you got you got them their offense just as good as uh Tex A&M quarterback is just as good in my opinion you know what I think about Conor WG you know you said when you when you uh when you said that I went to go look up like what you were saying and yeah he's totally different than what I thought like sounded he totally sounded different like he I'm like wait a minute is this the guy that we're going against you would have thought this man was Lamar Jackson's backup man the way that man was talking so yeah talking greasy yeah everybody from Texas A&M was talking greasy for weeks for weeks leading up to the game weeks weeks I I didn't understand it man I'm glad not that a just conf confirm what I already knew I'm glad they confirmed it we go to The Big House noon kickoff Quinn Arch the horns will it be horns up or horns down it's definitely hornig is terrible dude Michigan's terrible I just need to score I agree with you I think Texas Texas Texas a lot I'll say Texas 35 is in my opinion it's see this is where stuff matters left this is where stuff matters with the 14 playoff it wouldn't matter this game wouldn't matter to Texas right they still can win the SEC Championship and get to the 14 matters this matters because Texas wants to be one of those top four get a buy teams they have to win this game yes to be one of those teams in my opinion they still can be I think if you win the SEC Championship game you can still be I think you automatically get a top champ you get it but if they don't if they don't win then this loss could come back to bite them the same way down the road that LSU lost to USC for an at large bid could come back to bite them and it helps USC big game Big Game Can't Overlook Miss michig I'm going to go 3123 3123 T no no I'm 2723 Texas that's too I'm disrespecting the Michigan defense I actually think the Michigan defense is gonna be gonna be no no no you have to RI all mostly freshman receivers new receivers they have a lock down defensive back they have a very good second Johson yep so and then the front seven I think they can control that run game in the front seven Michigan only chance is to take advantage if you watched the Texas game last week they had problems stopping the run because they had to replace 600 pounds in the middle of that defense on the defensive line they have some good players but they don't have those two dudes so if Michigan can establish the run and force Texas to have to take advantage of every possession and then the weather plays in it it's supposed to be a nice day early tomorrow so the weather shouldn't be a problem but yeah what's your score I got 2821 okay I got 28 I got 2823 I just think that uh Michigan offense they just not going to give me enough points to get them anything over 21 and then Texas yeah they'll they won't score 40 but they'll they'll be closer to the 30s maybe 34 if they do it right but it's at Michigan right so I mean Texas should be obviously the winner maybe we're talking a 10o 13-point game so 34 if they were playing in Austin I would have a double digit win definitely for Texas okay people the big house means something bro means that environment means something bro not when you ain't got a quarterback you don't think wait a minute hold on you don't think that environment meant something for Notre Dame if if Texas A&M came up to South be last week how bad do they lose oh probably just another touchdown maybe that's what I'm saying yeah that's what I'm saying so that's the flip of this game being in the big house as opposed to down in Texas I think it it's going to be at least a three to four point difference in this game opposed to it being on the road or on a neutral field Boise State Oregon sneaky game of the week left I didn't like the way Oregon looked in that game against idah bro it was giving up a lot bo bo States one of those teams they could they could of and make it a little bit tougher I got Boise making it close maybe like it comes down to the last quarter that running back had six touchdowns last week so that's gota mean something um and Bo he went crazy last week Boise always plays well against ranked team like they've always been a good formable opponent they've never been like the team to just get Molly whopped uh it's always been close or they've won it's they ain't even been like they've lost that many time they literally won yeah tight ranked games that nobody's expect him to do so they'll show up um but Oregon will win I think they just got the overall better program but it'll be close I think Oregon wins by seven yeah Tennessee goes up the North Carolina State at night Nico Ina um looked impressive looked very impressive how do you see this one left uh I would like Nico to do well and Tennessee to win I don't know bro Grace I I don't trust Grayson Mcall I watched him this this is not Coastal Carolina bro that's but that's what that my that was my issue with him of us recruiting Grayson mle we not running that offense so right North Carolina State's defense is good though so that's why I'm like a young Nico I don't know I think the game would be under 24 for both teams if Nico is a dude this is what it comes down to competition last week was pretty much minimal no push back this is where we find out if Nico is real and if he's real Tennessee wins this game left yeah none of us know but I'm going to roll the dice on the young man I'm g roll I'm Gonna Roll the Dice on him on the road first big test I got Tennessee 282 24 yeah yeah I knew was going to be under the 2 okay 28 24 that's a good call I got Tennessee 282 24 I got him like I got him closer I got it like 30 27 okay okay Colorado Nebraska 4542 Colorado Shor a game winning touchdown it has to be 4542 for Colorado to win bro has to be has to be has to that def close game because their defense will give it up see a lot of points being scored 4542 Colorado walks away it's your D time yep GTB questions on the way [Music] out what about
