00:03
College football weekend that started last night and what a banger of a Friday
00:09
Do we have in store as well two games that kick off at 9 p.m
00:14
Eastern time that are absolutely sensational that feature a ranked team in
00:19
Both sixth ranked Oregon hosts, Michigan State in a Big Ten battle. Yes a Big Ten battle
00:27
25th ranked UNLV will host my Syracuse orange in Sin City and two games to start off the night
00:34
Kennesaw State Jacksonville State
00:36
It's been a struggle for Rich Rod and Jack State this year TCU in Houston and a Big 12 game
00:42
The Cougs. Oh boy hasn't been great offensively, but that's one thing TCU can do because they can't play much
00:49
Defense Joe, let's start with the two games that feature a ranked team
00:54
sixth ranked Oregon hosting Michigan State again
00:58
It is a Big Ten battle
00:59
But it is also a game for Jonathan Smith the new head coach of the Spartans that he understands very well
01:05
He played quarterback at Oregon State
01:07
He was the head coach at his alma mater for six seasons against the Ducks in six games in the Civil War rivalry
01:15
Against Oregon he was two and four straight up both of the winds coming in Corvallis for the B's
01:21
But four of the six within this number twenty three and a half points spread in favor of the Ducks
01:27
Just how competitive of a football game do we have tonight inside Austin Stadium?
01:33
well, I think it's gonna be
01:36
Listen, Michigan State has coming off a what that 38 to 7 loss to Ohio State in which they covered and
01:43
Were actually pretty darn competitive in that game there
01:48
They have been pretty competitive all things being considered in all games, but you would expect that from a Jonathan Smith run team
01:56
Right. We saw that at Oregon State even when they were
01:59
They should have been blown out. They were never really blown out here
02:03
And while Oregon is definitely the better team the more elite team
02:08
You're talking about what 24 points here 23 and a half 24 points on a Michigan State team that
02:15
They are going to bring it. They are absolutely
02:19
Going to be competitive in this game
02:20
I would only take the points and I would also look for the under in
02:25
This one because I do think Oregon's defense has figured it out and there's something just not right about this
02:32
Oregon Ducks offense yet. I do think an under and the points is a way to look
02:38
I think those two things are correlated in this one
02:41
so last week a 31 point loss to Ohio State but in the opening half and these are issues that
02:47
MSU is going to have that has played this organization to try to figure things out
02:53
But in the opening half they got to Ohio State's red zone
02:56
Three times the Buckeyes have allowed five red zone attempts this year and they're opening five games
03:01
And they had a turnover on downs and two fumbles if they can clean it up a little bit tonight, Michigan State
03:07
I think they stay within the number Joe quickly the red and reds of you and
03:12
LV ranked for the first time in the AP top 25 in program history
03:17
They are 4 and 0 for the first time since
03:21
1978 they are laying near a touchdown
03:24
Against my Syracuse orange. I think we see some points tonight in Las Vegas. What say you?
03:32
Yeah, I don't I don't argue with that at all
03:35
I I do think unfortunately for Syracuse, I think they've become a little bit
03:40
one-sided and
03:41
One-dimensional there and I think you and LV is going to be able to run on his team Syracuse has a very good pass defense
03:49
Not so much on the run here
03:51
And I think you and LV runs the ball about 70% at a time and they are not a good running defense the orange
03:57
So I do think you and LV is the right side here, but I also am with you
04:02
I think points are coming in this one
04:04
You and LV not great in the secondary. That's all Syracuse does to Joe's point. They throw the football Kyle McCord has been great
04:11
They are not great against the run you and LV averaging
04:15
283 yards per game on the ground the go-go offense is good
04:19
Even with Haj Malik Williams and not Matthew sluka Joe not too many great games on a Saturday
04:26
In fact one technical ranked versus ranked game only its, Missouri in Texas
04:31
A&M who is coach 25th in the country alongside you and LV two-and-a-half points spread in favor of the Aggies at home
04:39
What do you like?
04:42
Don't trust A&M they still know
04:45
Confirmation on whether Wigman is going to be the quarterback or not for A&M, Missouri coming off a bye
04:51
Missouri 4-0 against the number in this spot on the road last year
04:57
Being on the road for Missouri doesn't faze them. I think Missouri is the right side in a big way here and
05:04
Potentially the least hyped national championship game rematch the world of college football has ever known
05:11
Michigan 10th ranked in the country, but a short underdog in Seattle tomorrow night some good games as well week six
05:18
We'll talk about those at a later date
