00:00Speaking of the running rebs, it's a team you mentioned already, Joe, that you are high on.

00:03You couple them with your other favorite LSU SEC team in the Tigers. What can we expect both

00:10first out of Lane Kiffin and his rebs and Brian Kelly and his Bayou Bengals?

00:13Well, I think first with LSU, you look at Ole Miss, excuse me, a dynamic offense. Jackson

00:18Dart spearheads that. He's a mobile quarterback, 20 plus touchdowns. He averaged well over

00:24two touchdowns, I believe, in the last five games of the regular season.

00:28They can run it. They get LSU transfer Logan Diggs that comes over. That defense, though,

00:33was the most impressive thing at the end of the regular season. They only allowed it from a

00:37passing perspective in the secondary, 229 passing yards per game, forced 13 interceptions. If they

00:44could take the next step in terms of progression, I think they're at least a 10-win football team.

00:48They are one of my teams to crack the college football playoff. For Brian Kelly and LSU,

00:54Nussmeier takes over. I like them as well, plus 125 to make the playoff. Again, physical in terms

01:00of the offensive line, but that defense now with the adjustments they have made and hopefully

01:06the resurgence of Harold Perkins, I think they're a 10-win football team as well.

01:11Defense has to be better. LSU played 13 games last year. 12 of the 13 hit the over because of

01:18how poor the defense was, but everybody on the defensive staff is now gone and replaced. I thought

01:25it was family down there in Baton Rouge. He puts money in my pocket. He's family. For you, it was

01:30on the defensive side of the football, not so much. Garrett, Nussmeier remains. There are seven teams

01:36with a minus money price to see the college football playoff in 2024. Ole Miss is one of

01:42them with a minus 125 number.
