00:02 - Here's four games from Thursday night for you to chew on.
00:06 Give us some thoughts on these.
00:08 Now, Kent State is going to UCF.
00:10 We know the situation, of course, down in Florida, Joe.
00:13 Hopefully everybody's doing okay down there.
00:15 The hurricane passing through the north side, of course,
00:17 as we know, as of now, Kent State and UCF
00:21 still scheduled to rock, minus 35 and a half there.
00:24 NC State visits Connecticut.
00:26 Remember last year they played in Raleigh, Joe,
00:28 and the Wolfpack smoked UConn at their place.
00:31 They're laying 14 and a half on the road.
00:33 We have the return match between Florida and Utah.
00:37 Last year, the Gators beat them in Gainesville.
00:39 Now they go out west to Rice-Eccles.
00:41 That line you saw there with the four and a half,
00:44 and then Minnesota and Nebraska.
00:47 Your favorite game of the night,
00:48 with Matt Rule and the Huskers catching seven,
00:51 where PJ Fleck rows the boat.
00:53 - Well, I could be wearing red pants and a white T-shirt
00:56 doing cover, at least see when that game is on.
00:58 I'll tell you that right now.
00:59 I'll go through them.
01:00 I'm not touching the side.
01:02 I lean to UCF because of Orlando.
01:05 We don't know about the situation.
01:06 I lean to the over though,
01:08 because of the tempo of John Rice Plumlee
01:10 in the rushing attack that averaged 241 yards
01:14 on the ground last year.
01:15 Go over the 55 and a half.
01:17 I like UConn plus the 14 and a half.
01:20 Brendan Armstrong, the transfer for Virginia
01:22 with Dave Dorn in that offense.
01:24 Take it over for Devin Leary.
01:26 I just don't think it's a good fit for his skill sets.
01:29 I'm taking the Huskies in terms of the points
01:32 in their matchup.
01:33 And then we'll go to the two big boys.
01:35 Utah last year was six and O at home.
01:38 They won those five games against FBS opponents
01:41 by 23 points per game.
01:43 Last year, they lost to Anthony Richardson and Florida.
01:47 Richardson put a buck 68 and 283 rushing yards
01:51 on the ground.
01:52 They're not doing it with Graham Mertz.
01:54 And Florida was one in five as a road team last year.
01:57 Lost by 13.6 points per game.
02:00 Cam Risings out.
02:01 I'm still laying it with Utah.
02:03 And Nebraska does strike the upset on the road
02:06 against PJ Fleck in Minnesota.
02:08 No Tanner Morgan, no Mo Ibrahim that have moved on.
02:12 Give me Nebraska, plus the points.
02:14 They win a week one matchup.
02:16 - Outright Nebraska.
02:18 Outright you think they win.
02:20 - I do.
02:21 - Outright catching the seven.
02:23 How about that?
02:24 - The mentality on the offensive and defensive lines.
02:27 - And you're not worried with Rising of course
02:29 gonna be out.
02:30 Remember he of course got injured in that Rose Bowl game.
02:34 You're not worried at all with potentially Bryson Barnes.
02:38 At least that's the expectation out there.
02:40 You're not worried.
02:41 You still like Utah.
02:42 - No because--
02:43 - Doesn't matter that Rising's not out there.
02:45 - Typically Utah struggles with speed type of quarterbacks.
02:49 Kayla Williams, Anthony Richardson,
02:51 Dorian Thompson Robinson.
02:53 They all gave that defense fits.
02:55 Graham Mertz, you know where he's gonna be.
02:57 He's gonna be in the pocket.
02:59 You could hit him, you could knock him off his mark
03:01 and more importantly on the road, very turnover prone.
03:04 That's a benefit for Utah's defense in my opinion.
