00:00Hey, let's start with SMU and Penn State.

00:05It's Penn State minus nine and 53 now it's at noon on TNT.

00:09Yeah, you know what I think that SMU are in some trouble in this game.

00:13People can talk about James Franklin not winning a big game all they want.

00:16They racked up over 500 yards of offense on a on the best team in the country, the Oregon

00:21Ducks.

00:22You know, they know their quarterback is coming back.

00:25They're locked and loaded.

00:26Tyler Warren, SMU are not going to have an answer to slow down Warren.

00:31Abdul Carter on the defensive side of the football, I think will be able to cause a

00:36lot of havoc.

00:37I think this is where the home field like this is a unique situation.

00:40These are road games, man.

00:41Right.

00:42So I think this is what a home field is really going to come to play like, listen, Indiana

00:46is an in-state game, right?

00:48It's a road game.

00:49It is, but it's a little bit different.

00:51This is different, man.

00:52SMU coming from Dallas, coming from Dallas into these temperatures, it's going to be

00:59cold tomorrow.

01:00Windy, snowy.

01:01Yeah.

01:02Yeah.

01:03It's going to be nasty.

01:04You know, it's got us in the middle of nowhere, bro.

01:05It's like, there's like buggies and horses, like they're in the mountains and stuff.

01:08There's nowhere.

01:09It's not even like, it's barely, they barely have the internet.

01:13They barely have the internet in happenstance.

01:17Respectfully, the Amish land, the Amish, Pennsylvania.

01:21Okay.

01:22Give me Penn State.

01:23Give me Penn State.

01:24We'll move out of the lawsuit area here and go to-

01:29No, I'm picking them.

01:30So I say it with love.

01:31Let's go.

01:32Let's go.

01:33Clemson and Texas at Austin, another hostile environment for Clemson to go into.

01:37I think they're in trouble against Texas.

01:39No, this is where I'm stepping up in with the dogs.

01:42The last two games here, Scott, give me the Clemson Tigers plus the double digits.

01:46I'm a big Sark fan.

01:47I think he's a cool dude.

01:48I like Sark.

01:49Texas are knocking on the door right now, but if you really dig in here, Texas' offense

01:53struggles against elite defenses, right?

01:57Yeah.

01:58They score like 36 a game, but it's really like 20, 26 a game when they play someone

02:03that's good.

02:04Quinn Ures, he is who he is.

02:06It's not like suddenly he's going to be different right now.

02:08They settled for too many field goals, this football team, a fascinating dynamic about

02:13these two, uh, Kate Clubnic and Quinn Ures are big time rivals, like for real.

02:19They actually played in 2020 for the Texas state high school championship.

02:24Kate Clubnic's team won.

02:25Kate Clubnic, the Clemson quarterback, is from Austin, Texas.

02:29He's literally returning home.

02:31He's a high school legend there.

02:33Like I said, won the state title, beat Quinn Ures in the title game.

02:36I'm getting double digits, 12 points.

02:39I think Texas survives, Scott.

02:41I got Texas winning like 26, 23 type of deal.

02:44I think it'll be a close.

02:46Both defenses are elite.

02:47It's going to be a smash mouth football game.

02:49I really don't understand the number here.

02:51I think they're overvaluing Texas' home field.

02:55We've seen this team lose on their home field and crazily enough, guys, the Longhorns haven't

02:58even sold this game out.

03:00I never would imagine Texas Longhorns, there's tickets available.

03:03They can't even sell their game out in the playoffs because all the students aren't on

03:07campus because it's the holidays.

03:09Okay, whatever.

03:10Give me the Clemson Tigers plus the points.

03:13And finally, in closing, Scott, give me the Tennessee Volunteers plus the points against

03:18Ohio State.

03:19This is the one, and I'm not saying it's going to be a Michigan fan or anything like that,

03:23but I'm going to call the upset on this one.

03:25I'm going to say the Tennessee win 28-27.

03:29I keep coming back to that for whatever reason.

03:31I know it's going to be cold there and Tennessee don't play in the cold often.

03:35Maybe I'm a little, you know, maybe it's a little higher scoring, you know, than maybe

03:39my score's a little higher than it will be, but where I'm going with this is super close

03:45game.

03:46I really don't see why Tennessee guys can't do a lot of the same things that Michigan have

03:49done to them over the last four years.

03:51And I know that Heupel's going to watch the tape and go, well, we have Dylan Sampson.

03:55Why don't we just pound the rock, run it right up the middle on them?

03:58The big key is Nico Aimee Leiva in this game, right?

04:04He's been okay.

04:06They're passing attack.

04:07You know, they're going to need a couple of big plays from the passing attack, which sounds

04:10crazy to talk about the volunteers like that, because normally that wasn't their problem.

04:15But Tennessee's defense is nasty guys.

04:17Nasty.

04:18There's going to be a smash mouth game and oh yeah, by the way, I follow the ticket market

04:21extremely closely.

04:22Bro, there's like 47% of the tickets sold to Vol fans.

04:29Ohio State fans almost want to lose and they want to get Ryan Day fired.

04:33And if they get down early, those fans are going to turn on Ryan Day, bro.
