00:03College football weekend that started last night and what a banger of a Friday

00:09Do we have in store as well two games that kick off at 9 p.m

00:14Eastern time that are absolutely sensational that feature a ranked team in

00:19Both sixth ranked Oregon hosts, Michigan State in a Big Ten battle. Yes a Big Ten battle

00:2725th ranked UNLV will host my Syracuse orange in Sin City and two games to start off the night

00:34Kennesaw State Jacksonville State

00:36It's been a struggle for Rich Rod and Jack State this year TCU in Houston and a Big 12 game

00:42The Cougs. Oh boy hasn't been great offensively, but that's one thing TCU can do because they can't play much

00:49Defense Joe, let's start with the two games that feature a ranked team

00:54sixth ranked Oregon hosting Michigan State again

00:58It is a Big Ten battle

00:59But it is also a game for Jonathan Smith the new head coach of the Spartans that he understands very well

01:05He played quarterback at Oregon State

01:07He was the head coach at his alma mater for six seasons against the Ducks in six games in the Civil War rivalry

01:15Against Oregon he was two and four straight up both of the winds coming in Corvallis for the B's

01:21But four of the six within this number twenty three and a half points spread in favor of the Ducks

01:27Just how competitive of a football game do we have tonight inside Austin Stadium?

01:33well, I think it's gonna be

01:36Listen, Michigan State has coming off a what that 38 to 7 loss to Ohio State in which they covered and

01:43Were actually pretty darn competitive in that game there

01:48They have been pretty competitive all things being considered in all games, but you would expect that from a Jonathan Smith run team

01:56Right. We saw that at Oregon State even when they were

01:59They should have been blown out. They were never really blown out here

02:03And while Oregon is definitely the better team the more elite team

02:08You're talking about what 24 points here 23 and a half 24 points on a Michigan State team that

02:15They are going to bring it. They are absolutely

02:19Going to be competitive in this game

02:20I would only take the points and I would also look for the under in

02:25This one because I do think Oregon's defense has figured it out and there's something just not right about this

02:32Oregon Ducks offense yet. I do think an under and the points is a way to look

02:38I think those two things are correlated in this one

02:41so last week a 31 point loss to Ohio State but in the opening half and these are issues that

02:47MSU is going to have that has played this organization to try to figure things out

02:53But in the opening half they got to Ohio State's red zone

02:56Three times the Buckeyes have allowed five red zone attempts this year and they're opening five games

03:01And they had a turnover on downs and two fumbles if they can clean it up a little bit tonight, Michigan State

03:07I think they stay within the number Joe quickly the red and reds of you and

03:12LV ranked for the first time in the AP top 25 in program history

03:17They are 4 and 0 for the first time since

03:211978 they are laying near a touchdown

03:24Against my Syracuse orange. I think we see some points tonight in Las Vegas. What say you?

03:32Yeah, I don't I don't argue with that at all

03:35I I do think unfortunately for Syracuse, I think they've become a little bit

03:40one-sided and

03:41One-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

03:49Not so much on the run here

03:51And I think you and LV runs the ball about 70% at a time and they are not a good running defense the orange

03:57So I do think you and LV is the right side here, but I also am with you

04:02I think points are coming in this one

04:04You 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

04:11They are not great against the run you and LV averaging

04:15283 yards per game on the ground the go-go offense is good

04:19Even with Haj Malik Williams and not Matthew sluka Joe not too many great games on a Saturday

04:26In fact one technical ranked versus ranked game only its, Missouri in Texas

04:31A&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

04:39What do you like?

04:42Don't trust A&M they still know

04:45Confirmation on whether Wigman is going to be the quarterback or not for A&M, Missouri coming off a bye

04:51Missouri 4-0 against the number in this spot on the road last year

04:57Being on the road for Missouri doesn't faze them. I think Missouri is the right side in a big way here and

05:04Potentially the least hyped national championship game rematch the world of college football has ever known

05:11Michigan 10th ranked in the country, but a short underdog in Seattle tomorrow night some good games as well week six

05:18We'll talk about those at a later date
