From a college football perspective, it was literally the craziest Saturday in the history
00:10
of college football.
00:11
Like, point blank.
00:12
Like, people toss around the greatest and the craziest, no, this was, we've never had
00:16
this before.
00:17
Five of the top 11 teams in the country lost.
00:21
On one day.
00:22
Five.
00:23
Five of them.
00:25
And the Miami Hurricanes nearly became the sixth.
00:28
And somehow-
00:30
Dodged, dodged the bullet and epic comeback, epic comeback Saturday night and just what
00:37
a day.
00:38
I mean, from the day, the way that the day started, Scott, not even the day they started,
00:41
I don't know if you saw, I tweeted it out on Friday night, bro, those psychos in Berkeley
00:46
like crashed the gate, Scott, the night before.
00:48
Yeah.
00:49
Like, they showed up so early, security wasn't even there yet.
00:52
Because they didn't think, yeah, listen, they'll start lining up a couple hours before, they're
00:56
not going to show up at like nine o'clock on Friday night and just crash the gates.
01:00
Are they?
01:01
Yeah, yeah, they did.
01:02
They did.
01:03
So they, and, and, and think about a college game day starts at like, you know, it's like
01:07
six in the morning there.
01:09
It was literally 6am.
01:11
It was a madhouse in Berkeley.
01:13
It just went all day into that classic of a football game.
01:17
Cam Ward's got ice in his veins.
01:19
You know, he really does.
01:21
And, you know, the best thing about Cam Ward, Scott, is if he turns the ball over or he makes
01:25
a mistake, it doesn't faze him.
01:28
Right?
01:29
It's like, okay, fine.
01:30
Doesn't matter.
01:31
On to the next, the next possession, which is, it's a big, big skill, a big attribute
01:35
to have.
01:36
Right?
01:37
Especially like at the next level of national football, like he'll be a good NFL quarterback.
01:40
He doesn't get rattled.
01:41
Right?
01:42
If he's, if it's going well, he's, you know, it's fine.
01:45
If it's not going well, he's the same.
01:47
He's kind of the, you know, he's so evenly keeled all the time.
01:51
And I think the players feed off of it.
01:53
I mean, is this Mario Cristobal or is it Cam Ward?
01:57
Right?
01:58
I mean, it seems to me that Cam Ward's just putting this team on his back right now.
02:01
You know what?
02:02
He's the third choice still.
02:03
He's still the third choice to win the Heisman right now.
02:06
So I definitely think he's in the mix.
02:09
I don't buy that.
02:10
I don't buy that at all.
02:12
This guy, he, every game, he's got five, 400 yard games.
02:16
One of them, a 300, like 80 yard game with three tutties.
02:21
He missed it by a few yards, but literally almost every game around 400 yards, another
02:26
400 yard performance the other night, running the ball for touchdowns, untouched, taking
02:30
them back 35, 10 down to win a game on the road at Berkeley in a hostile environment.
02:36
I mean, first of all, I noticed kid Jenny up at whatever his name is at Boise.
02:41
No one's ever heard of him.
02:43
That's great that he's doing what he's doing.
02:44
I won't deny he's phenomenal.
02:45
Nobody's ever heard of him.
02:46
He's already has a thousand plus yards.
02:49
Nobody's ever heard of him.
02:50
No one even cares about that team except betters.
02:53
You and I, I like for the record, he, he is the favorite right now with the sports books
03:00
to win the Heisman.
03:01
He's going to be up against it because he does play for Boise state.
03:04
You can't agree with that though.
03:06
Can you, that he's better than what Cam Lord's doing down in Miami on a top 10 team?
03:11
Well, number one, I'm not going to give the Heisman to anybody on the first Saturday of
03:15
October.
03:16
Right?
03:17
I mean, it's, there's a lot of football left, Scott.
03:20
If I'm voting for the Heisman trophy winner, I've got, you know, it's tough.
03:25
Cam Ward's right there.
03:26
I'm not taking anything away from him.
03:27
He's having an awesome season.
03:28
And I'll tell you what, Scott, you want to bet here, and I'll throw this to you.
03:31
Cam Ward is 10 to one right now to be the number one pick in the NFL draft.
03:37
And I think that, I think that is legitimate, Scott.
03:41
I'm not saying you can't win the Heisman, but I'm just saying it's early in the Heisman.
03:44
Last week, everybody was wrapping the Heisman trophy and giving it to Jalen Milrom.
03:47
Right?
03:48
All that stuff changes on a weekly basis.
03:50
For the record, don't forget about Travis Hunter, Scott, on the Colorado Buffaloes.
03:55
This kid plays every snap on both sides of the ball and does it at an elite level.
04:00
And don't look now, but the Buffaloes have only lost one game so far this year.
04:04
They beat Kansas State this week, which I think they can.
04:07
Dude, they're five and one, and they're like the front runners to win the Big 12 suddenly.
04:12
And then he's, he's the second choice right now.
04:14
So don't forget about Travis Hunter, Scott.
04:16
Great football player.
04:17
Five awards right there.
04:18
Gente's going to have a problem because he does play for Boise State unless he, you know,
04:23
gets like 2,500 yards and 50 touchdowns or something stupid.
04:26
But he's sort of on that pace right now.
04:29
But the number one pick in the draft, Scott, it's going to be a quarterback.
04:33
Like the number one defensive player in the draft is, is James Pierce at Tennessee.
04:37
Okay.
04:38
You know what I mean?
04:39
I don't know if he'll actually be the number one pick.
04:41
Travis Hunter, I can see Hunter being a top five pick, a top three pick.
04:46
I don't know if Travis Hunter, someone's going to take a DB slash wide receiver as
04:50
the top pick.
04:51
So let's, let's assume it's a quarterback, Scott.
