00:00to put a you know my action on the board for this game i'm actually going to play the over
00:06at 50 and
00:06a half and it's a it's kind of a combination of things now i wanted to play usc at plus
00:15seven
00:15those numbers were all gone and i you know i probably could have paid up for a seven if i
00:22really really wanted to but there was also a moment in the breakdown where i found myself saying
00:27should i play ohio state's team total because at the end of the day quarterback change yes
00:34this is a usc defense trying to stop jeremiah smith and company
00:38i got some questions i got some questions about how successful that might be i
00:46usc you're gonna have to go out swinging okay usc are gonna have to i mean i if you're lincoln
00:51riley
00:52this is the game man this is the game and for ohio state while you don't have saying you are
01:02off a
01:03body like it would be and i think you kind of alluded to this dave it would be kind of
01:10stunning if ohio
01:11state had a quarterback that belonged at pulsa as their primary backup right and they've had all
01:22you know they've had 14 days to prep for this spot against this defense i think both teams get into
01:29the
01:2930s here i think this thing really should fly through a 50 and a half i looked at this game
01:36and
01:36and i wanted to think no issues ohio state just gonna you know reload they got two weeks to prepare
01:41their quarterback and i mean this is this is a team that that that hit justin fields as a backup
01:46like
01:47they've had factories there of quarterbacks that are just sitting and waiting for them
01:53couldn't get there then i'm like well it's a good spot for usc i i've been on usc way too
01:58many times
01:58this year to know nothing's a good spot for them said well maybe with ohio state having a backup
02:04quarterback and usc struggling and maybe look at the under and then i'm like you just hit it on the
02:09head you have a usc defense that has to try to stop jeremiah smith even if i'm throwing him the
02:14ball
02:14so it's a pass for me but i can definitely see why you like the over here i i'd actually
02:21be surprised
02:22if ohio state gave up 30 points to usc that said i don't know what we're gonna get out of
02:28the ohio
02:28state offense the only real thing that we do know is ohio state has a good defense but usc has
02:35a good
02:35offense so we'll see so it's a stay away from me in the pool i laid it with ohio state
02:40but it's not
02:41a confidence one this is and you know we've talked about from the the path i guess what we should
02:51probably acknowledge it that the usc trojans in their remaining four games will be an underdog
02:57in three of them is lincoln riley going to get at seven and five is lincoln riley going to get
03:05fired
03:06in your eyes i don't think he gets fired but i do think there would be people pushing him in
03:14a
03:14direction that he'll have to decide to go you know this is the same guy who left oklahoma high and
03:19drive
03:19and headed out west to usc to to make things right out there and it didn't happen uh lincoln is
03:25the
03:25type of guy who who may or may not have nfl aspirations may want to go take a different job
03:31in the country that may speak to him like usc did i don't think they fire him it's a tremendously
03:38high
03:38buyout not that these teams can't afford it but are you going to get someone better than lincoln riley
03:45i'm not saying lincoln riley is is nick saban but you're usc you've been in this rut for what
03:50you're going on 20 years now since you had the high flying reggie bush matt liner error like who is
03:57out there you're going to go get an assistant from ucla an assistant from or or a head coach from
04:03james
04:04james madison's a horrible example but a sunbelt coach like that's not usc so who is out there that
04:10is better than lincoln and by the way you have to pay the buyout they may push him in that
04:15direction
04:15there's a lot of a lot of pressure from the boosters out there in los angeles i think eventually lincoln
04:21leaves on his own uh but i'm not so sure it happens this year i think my struggle is
04:29it does feel a little bizarre that he's just not been able to break through
04:35and just so everybody remembers you know he comes over here with kayla williams
04:40wins the heisman trophy and they play utah in a pac-12 title game
04:46that their favorites in and if they win they go to the college football playoff in a 14 format
04:52now you know i think caleb kind of like tore his hamstring somehow in that game and still put up
04:57about
04:57400 yards of offense and you know things just you know fell apart a little bit they also gave up
05:0247
05:02in the game but he brought back the heisman trophy winner and it was a disaster i mean they went
05:09seven and five caleb still won first overall it was a disaster and you know you've now gotten to the
05:16to
05:17this expanded field six and six in 2024 nine and three last year but the marquee victories were not
05:26there for this football team and all the they can't travel stuff and here we are again i mean
05:33it's fair to say who's better but usc is better than the results that they are putting on the
05:38board they just have to be
