00:00Are you betting on Michigan with that four and a half they're getting from UFC at the

00:06big house tomorrow?

00:07Yeah, you know, I am one last stand with Michigan.

00:12Their season's on the line here.

00:13There was no shame in losing to the Texas Longhorns.

00:16Longhorns are ranked number one in the country right now, but the season will begin to unravel

00:21if they don't win this football game, man.

00:23They still have some big time games coming up, Michigan on the schedule.

00:29They go to Washington, they host the Oregon Ducks, they go to Columbus to play Ohio State.

00:34You can't have two losses in the month of September and expect to have a good season

00:39if you're Michigan.

00:40You're going to have two losses on the season.

00:42Massive game for them.

00:43They make the quarterback change.

00:46I think it'll help, Scott, but at the same point in time, they better have something

00:49up their sleeve besides a wildcat on every play.

00:55And we'll see what Rick Martindale does on the defensive side of the football.

00:59I wasn't overly in love with the hire, Scott.

01:01You got an old school NFL guy going back to college.

01:04Seems strange to me.

01:06And we all know that Martindale just blitzes on every play.

01:09So hopefully they adjust a little bit.

01:12They didn't adjust against Texas, but I don't think USC are as good as Texas are.

01:17And this is USC's first road game of the year as well, Scott, right?

01:20They had a bye week.

01:21They played in Vegas against LSU, the game I was at, and they hosted Utah State.

01:27It's not easy to go into the big house.

01:29And I like the fact that Michigan's offensive line got going last week.

01:33So I think it's a leap of faith, Scott, that Michigan can get it done here as the underdog

01:37and win the game outright.
