College Football Week 12 Recap

Welcome to the solid verbal. I'll that for me.

I'm a man, I'm forty.

I've heard so many players say, well I want to be happy. You want to be happy for dake Ado State?

Is that? Whoo whoom? And then and Tye, welcome back to the solid reper Boys and girls, my name is ty Hildebred, joining me as always over there in beautiful ny See my man Dan Rubinstein, Sir, how you doing?

I'm great? And ty I have a connection. This isn't nautically themed to keep with the two crew, No, but before we get to the reverbs, I have a connection that I made in my head to you, to a great passion of yours and to college football, especially week twelve?

Is this a long distance dedication the old Casey Cason days in a way, So you know how plane crash investigations, which I know you're into, I'm very into speaking not so much into the crash, but the investig Now, the investigations.

We hope no planes go down, We hope everybody stays healthy, we hope nobody loses loved ones. I'm strictly talking about the scientific methods, so you know how they like they study pings off of satellite dishes to figure out the last known location the jock Okale. This pinged off of this It pinged off of this radar in Poland at this time, pinged off of this ship in the Arctic Circle.

The second half? How about the second quarter?

Dan?

How about the second quarter?

Because I sent you a string of text message that if you are awake, you one hundred percent would have responded to about the Jalen Hurts and volatility experience of rooting for Oklahoma.

You're an Oklahoma fan. Yeah, I'm looking at this now. No, just saw these for the first time this morning. Welcome back to the show one and all. I'm ty he's Dan. We're going to get into all of the week twelve action. A lot to discuss. A lot went down both for the good and the bad here in week twelve. All of that is certainly notable and topic worthy here on

About splintering the listener base as we're spingplinter completely on Mowanna and Harry Potter.

I believe it was definitely a pressure point. Yeah, it definitely was, to say the least, Shall we just jump right in with those week twelve reverbs? Oh? I'd love nothing more? Here it is, folks. You called in at four o eight verbal one. You sent messages to the reverbline at gmail dot com. Our boy, Ryan, cut those up. Here you go Week twelve reverbs. Hey guys, it's Nick and Adam and Ann Arbor and let me just say.

What's not Santa Time?

This is Myra from Atlanta.

Hey guys, it's Nathan from Indiana.

Dan Ti. This is Sean in parts unknown. It's just Kathy from Korea.

Hey, Joe here, fave of Larkansas with the hogs on by. That means they could lose, right, right.

It's almost Thanksgiving.

Families are supposed to love each.

Other, takes care of one another. You're not Michigan out here, just just being up on little brother being a middle child. I'm both an older brother and the little brothers, so I feel uniquely qualified to MSU that they are definitely the little brother Here go glue.

This feed down to the Spartans is dare I say borderline erotic?

Hi? This is Mary Kay calling in from Anna Arbor, Great Scars season Saturday, and the only thing I.

Have to stay in Michigan State is I am Lowanna?

Okay?

Can someone check up on Mark Dantonio?

He looked really upset after the game.

Oh that's the way his face always looks. It is currently thirty eight two three.

My Irish are up against the midshipman.

Can someone tell me where the hell this was against Michigan.

This game was begging for late game James Franklin, and thankfully late game James Franklin stayed home today. Hashtag nine Indiana is still in play.

Indiana played well against Penn State, but as a tough loss for them, boy bought hard.

Ohio State has already let Rutgers score a touchdown clearly missing Chase Young.

I wanted to remind everybody, if you get invited to play football in names Iowa, you politely decline and keep the integrity of your season. O.

Come, hey, you remember when my Texas Longhorns used to be talked about pre season as a you know, playoff contender.

Possibly good time.

Good time.

Maybe the Longhorns could just let Sam Ellinger blockfield goals as well.

Iowa State beats Texas with the last second field goal, and my favorite thing in college football watching a field goal kick or.

Run away from the rest of his team after a game winning kick.

Builds up by twenty eight to three. Right now, I can't imagine a football team losing a twenty eight to three lead that has never happened before.

It's inconceivable. You're a foul one. Al Lix Gringe Digueyn.

Have a plan calling back again after my lass call, and I'm just gonna go ahead and.

Say boomer sooner.

The rematch of the nineteen thirty four Sugar Bowl between Temple Huntwu Lane lived up to the high flair. Temple took down the green waves and started on ten thousand strong linked financial field wows pit Panthers saw that snake in the toilet, and just as it was about to strike, they just calmly hit plush tail to pit pretty sure. Thursday Nights against North Carolina. Bo click, they're playing again tonight.

I guess USC.

Does Dan Rubins Deen have a picking against Georgia problem? Ooh yeah, yeah, that sounds good. Twenty one to fourteenth?

Oh yeah, who are you talking to?

Uh?

It's Jake from state from yet, Jake from State from He sounds.

Like he's terrible. Wow, he threw three touch shows, so godulfs. Just wondering to myself after Auburn's lost to Georgia.

Oh next, ay broke in man, I've never had my team win a football game and feel like everyone in my watch party just walked out of the funeral.

Get well soon, thirteen.

We love you to rold Tide forever.

Man.

I think it's time we start talking to our kids now. Bold eligible Oregon State?

Are you tell legitimate prayoff contenders.

Oregon one, Utah one, America's nightmare of a pactical team in the playoff still alive?

Go Duck.

Somebody forgot to tell PJ.

Fleck that you can't row the boat through a cornfield. Alrighty, thank you again for calling us at four we eight verbal one. It's four eight eight three seven two two five one, which doubles as a signal line. Super secret, just.

Throwing that out there.

Yeah, looking back, we had named week twelve. What was its s'more Saturday?

Well, it was s'mare Saturday. At one point, it was slytherin, Slytherin slid Slytherin, sad slitherin, slitherin slyitherin Saturday. At one point, it was spicy meatball Saturday. At one point it was snaking the toilet Saturday. Oh right, it was a spicy slitherin snake in the toilet Saturday.

Looking back, I think second half scare Saturday feels more appropriate to me.

Okay, not as not as uh, it doesn't. It doesn't move me in the same way that slytherin or snaking the toilet does. But it's accurate, you know, because we had.

A handful of games this weekend that tightened up down the stretch made for an interesting second half watch. Going to get into all of those, and I think we'll start first with Oklahoma Baylor. Okay, you are correct in saying I didn't see the second half of this until this morning. Thirty four to thirty one? Yeah, what was your final score? Here? Oklahoma wins. If you are a Baylor fan listening to us right now, my hunch is that you're sick to your stomach. You are just sick

You have big picture thoughts about what this means for you know what Oklahoma was able to accomplish what Baylor wasn't was and then wasn't able to accomplish.

What were your takeaways emotionally? Emotionally, my takeaway was great cool.

I'm sure Baylor fans are super excited about that. Baylor fans aren't.

But you and I both doubled up on Baylor as her home dog of the week, and my immediate takeaway was, oh, look, another top forty team that Oklahoma couldn't separate from.

Right and then how many points did the Sooner defense give up in the second half?

That would be all of zero.

That's pretty good for an Oklahoma defense to give up zero points and a half against a pretty highly ranked team.

In my opinion, I would agree. I thought the way Alex Grinch put it back together at halftime, came out and blanked Baylor in the second half was very notable. I also thought the way that Jalen Hurts responded to this moment was notable. Now, this is a kid who's been in a bunch of high level contests dating back to his time at Alabama. This is not like a new stage for him, but he.

Turned the balls for Baylor. By the way, what's that It's a new stage for Baylor, stage for away, a good team, and a big spot on national TV with the big ABC cameras.

That's new, absolutely new. But for Jalen Hurts it wasn't so much what was though, as him turning the ball over three times all in critical situations. I was impressed by his ability to pull it back together, to put the offense on his back and lead the Sooners to victory.

Here.

Yes, so Jalen Hurts is that old Homer Simpson alcohol quote. It's you know, the cause of and solution to all of life's problems. Sure, so, Jalen Hurts has just an atrocious first half. He was just a tough watch. His footwork's all over the place. He drops the ball in the ground, he throws a bad pick that's returned, damn near the entire field. He's the one who actually ends up back to that quote, taking the dB out of bounds to save a touchdown at least in that moment,

From a mile. Oh yeah, I was texting seeing yeah. I was texting with friends who are like, do we jump in on the Oklahoma money line? Now that they're down twenty eight to three. Are you kidding me?

How many teams in college curse the cursed score twenty eight to three? Sure, but how many teams in college football would you really say that about?

And feel confident in Oklahoma? Certainly in that in that conversation, And again, I come back to the defense in the second half. I got the numbers in front me. Finally, one hundred and three yards allowed on five drives, they forced to fumble and intercepted Charlie Brewer on again what could have been a game winning drive. Not to spend all of our time here talking about this game, but

Would also add the Baylor defense was on the field the entire second half because of three and outs, because of turnovers, and there's just if you don't have the type of depth to stay on the field for an entire half like that, it's not going to end well. That's why the thirty one to seventeen. Mark felt felt

Baylor goes down. They were one of I guess two unbeatens to go down in Week twelve. The other was Minnesota. Minnesota loses twenty three to nineteen in Iowa City, Iowa. Dan came out hot. They did score touchdowns on their first three drives of the game. Couldn't muster up too much after that, but a twenty to six lead at halftime felt pretty secure if you watched the first half, But again second half scare Saturday. Minnesota creeps back into this thing. They hold Iowa to just three points the

I mean for Iowa coming out and playing good offense against a good team early is new. That's definitely new. I came away impressed by that. And Iowa did everything right to start the game out, and Minnesota as well as Tanner Morgan played, and he played really well, had a couple of passes batted down, had some drops, so it wasn't fully his fault, but Minnesota couldn't run the ball, and it seemed like Iowa for the first time, really

Aj Apanessa was all over the place.

So a very Iowa win in a spot like this where like you get a little bit too high and you have to go to Iowa City and just I think Iowa was in the all black uniforms. It just it felt like such a trap, which I don't We're almost always wrong. But we managed to nail this and got this one right, didn't we The thing that bummed

Well, when you distill it down into a playoff conversation, I do hear you on that front. And look, Minnesota still controls its own destiny. They're not going to the playoff, but winning the Big Ten West will be a huge deal, a huge deal for that Minnesota program. They still got Northwestern in Wisconsin on the schedule. We'll see where it goes from here, but by any measure, an incredible season

Oh?

Man, it's so cold blooded, so cold blooded. What do they show sky you? Nah? I was thinking Row than Nope, But you know, to each is or her own, Iowa. Iowa takes down Minnesota a twenty three to nineteen score. Also sort of a weird backdoor slash front door cover here in that Iowa was favored by three at kickoff and Minnesota missed an extra point oh, which would have been a push yep whoops. Don't have a sound for

I thought Auburn would win this game in weird ways, and they almost did. I you know, Bonnicks near the end of the game made some mistakes. Again he was he was the solution and problem all at the same time. Just a struggle for Auburn running the ball. It was another game where Auburn in the first half, first three quarters just struggles against a good team and then makes it crazy interesting late. Trust me, I'm an expert on rooting against an Auburn team in this situation, and sometimes

I just okay.

So first the positive in this game, great comeback from Auburn to make this a game. Late they look like they recover an onside, but they'd end up get some fingers on the ball before it goes ten yards. Blah blah blah, and then Auburn still has chances and doesn't doesn't make it. But DeAndre Swift is such a joy. DeAndre Swift is such a friggin joy to watch. On defense, it was with Trevon Walker, who ends up making the play at the end of the game, made plays all

Three point nine from three point nine.

Ah, Auburn's defense is really good and they got after him. They did a good job of keeping everything in front of him, and there's only so much they can do when they can't move the ball on offense for such extended periods of time and finish drives. But this is just and maybe you'll have a better corporate term for this. I guess put a pin in the Georgia offense for when they have to play somebody with a more competent offense that'll force them to score more than twenty points

Yeah, So to step back through this one for a second. Yeah, Georgia led twenty one to nothing after three quarters. They did just great, really great on the road on the road rival. Yeah, Auburn could not get anything going before the fourth quarter. They had five three and outs, no points the first three quarters of this game. Then, of course they cobbled together a seventy five yard drive, then

No, DeAndre Swift does, and Andre Swift does. But as a whole watching this game, I was daydreaming about DeAndre Swift in any of like twenty one other offenses in this country.

There's there's a boring quality to the offense. They did get the W on the road, a big win at Auburn. They've got A and M and Georgia Tech. They're going to win those games before the SEC championship game, presumably against LSU. I think LSU, where's the A and M game?

A and M.

Gabe is at home. Okay, I think that LSU game is interesting for a number of reasons that we'll discuss in a couple of weeks. But yes, right now LSU has not clinched. No, they have not clinched the West, but for a reason that I'm positive we're about to get into. It's looking pretty good. It is looking pretty good. So Alabama one thirty eight to what was it seven thirty eight? To seven over Mississippi State. It's not notable because Alabama one. It's notable because they lost to a

It just sucks.

Yeah, I'm a comparison to Bo Jackson is because it's a happy because it's a similar injury. But Bo Jackson dealt with the loss of blood flow to the hip necrosis I believe, Yeah, vascular necrosis which basically meant that a bunch of seals died and he had to get a new hip entirely. So it appears the timetable is long for Tua, but he should be okay if everything goes well with his rehabilitation. We're also what like twenty eight years further medically than sure Jackson's injury, so hopefully

Of course.

Nick Saban talked about they wanted to run two minutes stuff and get that practice in because obviously Alabama has not had a shot to run through that offense all that often this season. And it's football. Injuries happen. You can't completely rule your life because, oh my god, something bad might happen. We're not going to play against miss

It's a gut punch. And look, he's been playing the first half all year. This is at the end of the first half. He's played all year. You gotta play football. He's been playing the first half all year. They most likely would have pulled him in the second half. That's just the way that he's gone about it. He's had some other injury concerns, not just this year but last year as well. But you know, hindsight's twenty twenty, don't I don't blame Saban for playing him. They just lost

It's not insignificant, right, It's not insignificant And it's another situation of like, let's just put a pin in this. Let's just put a pin in the fact that, yes, it was a letdown spot. They are allowed to have a letdown spot, and they're allowed to have a letdown spot in which they win a game by three touchdowns on the road, right, that is allowed. Yeah, but you're right. The six hundred yards John Reyes Plumbley ran for over

Stick a pin in it? Well does that work? Is that what you would say in an email? And I don't think i'd ever say that. Okay, sorry, No, that's okay. LSU's ten and zero. They've got Arkansas on A and M before the SEC Championship. You're right to say they haven't clinched it yet. I think they will. But curious these state of play right now. Ten and zero, they put up fifty eight Joe Burrow five touchdowns, forty nine through the air, fingers crossed.

If they can be Darkansas, yeah, rab they'll take by one thousand, Florida twenty three Missouri six. The first half of this game featured thirteen drives and ten punts down.

Is that bad? That that sounds bad. It is bad. Did you watch this game with Richard Johnson?

No, he watched this solo before he came over, And good for you this a little bit. I was mostly watching Indiana Penn State and Michigan Michigan State at this time, but flipping back and forth a little and scrub through it some more this morning.

This game set offense back about fifty years at least. On the ground, Florida averaged two point two per carry missoo one point eight per carry.

Yeah, not great, But Florida threw the ball fine. Kyle Trask threw some nice balls. Florida won the moment. Florida lost to the team comfortably last year. There are positives to take away. When I asked Richard about this when he showed up, he said, win's a win, baby. Yeah, And you know what, Florida's won nine games this year without being able to run the ball. Florida's won nine games behind a defense that gets after it. Florida's defense has been very good this year, and so.

Ten and two ten and two feels likely. And honestly, yeah, that's a healthy year with a backup quarterback.

That is an unbelievable year. If you said, Felipe Frank is gonna get hurt right away. Kyle Trask as your dude. This year, you're gonna win ten, maybe eleven games. I would take that in a heartbeat. You're gonna be top dozen ish in the country. I would take that in a heartbeat if I were of Florida fan. Related ty related.

These where their drives.

Punt downs, fumble, punt, end of game, punt, punt, punk, punt, interception, punt, punt, punt, punt downs, end of game punt, punt, punt, field goal, punt, punt, punk punt, field goal, punt, punt, punt, inter damn sception.

The dog is barking downstairs. We didn't even plan that.

No, Holy Moley, what a year it's been for offenses, either in game or just overall falling off of cliffs.

Wow, just completely into a void.

You know sometimes when the ocean opens up, what is it in Pirates of the Caribbean or it's Davy Jones Locker. Sure, it's just sinking to the bottom. We've seen it from NC State and Northwestern and all sorts of teams. But Miszoo's offense, the fire brand that is Derek Dooley's.

Offense, great head of Hair.

Have sunk to the core of the earth to such an extreme level. I almost feel bad for Kelly Bryant. I almost feel bad. I feel bad for the defense.

Let it be noted that the dog has not barked all year during the show. Maybe once during A two's cruise. Okay for a minute. The only other time that happened is when we talked about Missouri's offense. What the record show the.

Hot the first time in the last five years that we've talked about a Missouri offense falling off a cliff, while the defense has been.

Okay, all right, real quick, real quick. Elsewhere in the SEC, we had Kentucky by twenty four over Vandy. We had A and M by twenty four over South Carolina. Of note here I just got to give props out to Lynn Bowden Junior. Yeah, the Cats rush for four oh one and four touchdowns as a team, and I know Vandy stinks and all that, but I'm just enjoying the hell out of Kentucky committing to the bit, building the plane out of Lynn Boden junior. It gave him the keys.

Mus champf Okay, that's something from edminister Traders and Texas A and M stomped them. Texas A and M is probably the SEC's most okayist. That's not English team, which is something with their schedule. They've won seven and mighty. Who do they have next week? I think they have well, they have LSU left and they have Georgia, so they might stay at seven. But yes, they did a great job, especially on the ground. I think two guys went over

All right, a lot more to get to. Let's go over to the big ten. Yeah, Michigan forty four, Michigan State ten. Yeah, this is a good old miss midwestern croc potting. Excuse me, Yeah, there's.

There are a lot of cheese, some free doo's yep, and uh spaghetti inside of a.

Sure yeah and mostly scoreless first quarter. Here Sparty strikes first with a touchdown right before the end of the first frame. Make it seven. I think you're flipping through the channels. You're thinking, Okay, here we go in state rivalry. Yeah, miss Rencords out throw them out. Yeah, Michigan answers, but still wasn't until late in the second quarter when Michigan grabbed a lead. They led seventeen to seven at half. Well, Dan,

Yeah, it was Shape Patterson's best game as a Wolverine because I still I'm a believer in Michigan State's defense at least being impressive in spots above average. There's only so much they can do with the spot the offense puts them in. Shape Patterson was great. I thought Michigan did a really nice job of I don't know if we want to call it probe and go, figuring out what worked and just steer into it. Does probe and go make you feel uncomfortable?

Little bit? Yeah? Okay, the probe is along the lines of moist in terms of uncomfortable words.

Okay, So Michigan's offense got moist as they probed and went. Ronnie Bell terrific has emerged as the go to guy out wide for them, dependable even with the end of game situation against Penn State. He's been really really strong for them, and so it was nice for Shape Patterson to find him. I thought Michigan just did a nice job sting ahead of the chains. They generated some chunk plays, but there was a confidence to Shape Patterson in the passing game that we haven't always seen. I thought DPJ

Michigan State's lost five straight now and you know, it's been a tough stretch but underwhelming to say the least. They've got Rutgers and Maryland left, so they probably get the six wins, but just a really bad season for Michigan State. Go back and listen to the two's cruise from the uh most of the Mowana theme. That's right. No, no, you can get one of those per episode. No, go back and listen. I made a sound too. You didn't make it. You cut that portion of the sound. I

You're not wrong the Penn State defense. So that's the entirety of it. It's not just picking on the secondary here. It's pass rush hasn't been the same, it's linebackers haven't been the same, it's secondary hasn't been the same. It's a lot easier when you're taking on Kenny Pickett.

It's a lot.

Easier when you're taking on exactly the Maryland offense. Whatever they tightened up against Indiana after a rough early ago, I would say Peyton Ramsey did a good job. It was mostly shorter stuff after some some big stuff early and they've allowed what over seven hundred yards these past two weeks through the air. What kJ Hamler goes down, was that a kick return he went down on.

It went down on a kick return, they took his helmet, didn't let him back in.

Noah Kane doesn't play a again. Journey Brown I thought was impressive. I thought the offensive line took a nice step forward. Sean Clifford not super accurate in this game, but he loses his number one receiver, and Indiana did a good enough job. Indiana shot itself in the foot a lot in this game. They did the timeouts. The fake punt was a nightmare in terms of execution. All things told, though, like Peyton Ramsey had this team in the game. He absolutely had the team in the game.

They're not going to lose thirty eight to three, but I don't think they're gonna win, okay, And I'd be inclined to go Ohio State minus the points, but we'll talk about that on Thursday. Speaking of Ohio State and the rest of the Big Ten here, Ohio State won big by thirty five over Rutgers. We had Wisconsin thirty seven to twenty one over Nebraska, Big Game four Jonathan Taylor tailback, and finally Northwestern wins by exactly thirty nine points.

Uh?

Yeah, Wisconsin and Jonathan Taylor. I think Jonathan Taylor surpassed herschel Walker in most yards rushing over his first three seasons.

He had well, I don't know that, but I know he now has eleven career two hundred yard games, which ties him with Ricky Williams, Marcus Allen, and Ron Dame, which is some pretty exclusive company. Yeah.

Yes, and has now gone over two hundred yards and three consecutive seasons. Against Nebraska, though I thought Nebraska's offense was fine, they couldn't finish drives. I thought Nebraska actually I hate like that it was closer than the final score because they didn't stop Jonathan Taylor. Adrian Martinez I thought was encouraging the tip interception, not his fault. It seemed Dedrich Mills ran really well for Nebraska. It was just a matter of finishing, Yeah, Whereas Wisconsin, they had

I wrote down that this was not as big of a mismatch as I expected, and of course Wisconsin won by what two scores sixteen points? Just felt more even than I expected, especially in the first half. Offensively, the output was the same. I know that can sometimes be misleading, but yeah, I think I'm with you. I was encouraged by this showing for Nebraska, even in defeat.

Yeah, losing efforts though, are are not going to They're tough, too much for the Huskers.

Even though Scott Frost, I think what he got a two year extension through twenty twenty six.

Yes, for I assume recruiting purposes and just a show of confidence that he's their dude.

But is Florida State sniffing around there? I don't think they had a shot before, and he didn't want to know.

I know.

All right, let's move over to the PAC twelve. Yeah, let's talk about your Oregon Ducks, your Red Box Bowl defending champions. Yeah, Oregon wins thirty four to six over Arizona three hundred and thirty three yards and four touchdowns through the air. For your boy Justin Herbert is Juwan Johnson? Now his top target. Have we arrived at this very weird, uncomfortable place?

Oh yeah, okay, he is one hundred percent his top target with Jacob Breeland out for the year. The tight end Oregon does not do. And this is crazy nitpicking, because Oregon won by twenty eight and scored enough on their second play of the game to win this game. Organ struggles a little bit over the middle of the fields. Juwan Johnson just has an ability to separate, is physically more dominant than basically any corner hilted faced ninety percent

I hope it per cysts.

I hope it keeps on going or the story of this game for Oregon was their defense against a their subbing in Khalil Tait and Grant gunn Old, gunnel whatever for Arizona. All the time the past defense was terrific.

Oregon make made big.

Plays all over the place. Still again nitpicking two stubborn for my liking offensively running not all that well. Forty times in this game. Just you have Justin Herbert throw the ball, get out, get him out of there. At the half and be happy to win this game. But that's not the way that Oregon's offense is operating. Hard to complain twenty eight point win allowing only six nice job.

Oregon seems on a collision course in the Pac twelve with Utah. Utah won by forty six points forty nine to three over UCLA. They gave up a field goal midway through the first quarter. H we'll sloppy early, yeah, yeah, and then they just poured it on thanks to a bunch of big plays, a couple long touchdown passes from Tyler Huntley, a couple of long TD runs. They forced

By the way, if Utah drops either one of those games Arizona or Colorado, which seems pretty unlikely at this point. Basically USC is going to the exactly championship game, which is just wild because I think common sense and our knowledge of what we've seen now is Utah is far and away the best team in the PAC twelve, but they lost to a USC team on some sloppiness. So yep, weird weird life, we let weird world in the PAC twelve South.

But I think they'll be fine. USC forty one, CAL seventeen interesting, but I think only because we talked about Cal's success in defending the air raid, which was not so much to the case. Here a monster game for Keaton Slovis goes over four hundred yards again, four touchdown passes, no picks, Michael Pittman eleven grabs, one eight in a

Nice win helps when Chase Garbers goes down. It was kind of a game when Chase Garber's was in there, even though he wasn't all that successful. CAL ran the ball all right at times, but you're right that, I mean, this game was about USCA. This game was about Michael Pittman being I mean, Leviscus Shanald is in the conference, so he's probably not the best receiver in the conference.

All right, Washington State won. They were over one thousand yards of passing in this game. Anthony Gordon finally in a winning effort, five twenty and five touchdowns. Davis Mills, he played for the injured kJ Costello. He had about five hundred as well, forty nine to twenty two was your final here?

And finally rushing attempts for Stanford in this game, yeah, ten rushing attempts.

A different world we're living in, man, whoa. And finally Oregon State, how about this one nice win for them? Thirty five thirty four over ASU. Oregon State. Now five and five, it's a very narrow, almost inconceivable path to get to six. But who do they have before Oregon? It looks like Wazoo? Yeah, okay, yeah, anyway you shake it. One of the better stories in college football right now, and a remarkable coaching job in Corvallis, to say the least in the five wins?

Yeah, is he coach of the year in the Pac twelve? Man, you can make that case if they beat Wazoo. I think the case is a lot easier. Mario Christaball, I thought has done a really good job, as has.

Kyle Whittingham.

It's hard to say, like, Okay, you know every year Kyle Whittingham in Utah, it's a really good job of that he's done. With this ute team losing the way they did to USC, I know they didn't play a team in the in the non conference portion of their schedule. But the offense has been humming against largely bad teams. But that's what really good teams should be doing. I can't wait to see if we get Utah Oregon what that game looks like. I really can't wait to see.

Over in the Big Twelve, it was a close weekend all around. It wasn't just the Oklahoma Baylor game, which was decided by three points. We had a two point win for Iowa State, a four point upset win by West Virginia Overka State on the road, and a two point win for TCU thirty three to thirty one over Texas Tech. Let me start though with the Iowa State win. Yeah. The Clones kick a thirty six yarder. Thirty six yarder, yes, as time expired, as time expired. Yeah, Texas gets its

Yeah, after Texas jumps off side previously winning field goal attempt.

Yep. Yeah.

It was just it was a game of Texas mistakes and it was a game of Iowa State, especially on the ground, taking advantage making plays. We saw the big Rock Party touchdown pass. I think it was early in the second half under pressure is able to escape and was it to de Chante Jones. I believe it was for a long touchdown and for as good as Sam Ellinger can be, was a lot of shorter stuff. Once again, Iowa State did a nice job defending Texas and no running game to speak of, no running game to speak

Stand by it.

But I always state every game comes down to it and they're now Bowl eligible, have a chance to what finish eight and four yep, Iowa State finishes with I have it in front of me. Kansas Kansas State KSU on the road, Kats go down. As you mentioned to West Virginia, Jarrett Daigi in at quarterby the younger brother of Seth. The younger brother of Seth. He is quite good in this game. Makes another you know scramble big play wide open receiver. West Virginia is able to pull

Good game for Max Duggan. They need a win for Jet Duffy in a losing out and Jet Dovey in a losing effort. TCU needs a win over Oklahoma or West Virginia if they want to get the six and become both eligible. Not going to happen for Texas Tech this year and finally in the Big two. How positive that's gonna happen. Not gonna happen for Texas Tech.

I don't have the day in Texas I don't than a beatable team. I don't think it's happening for Tech. These aren't impossible wins. By the way, Texas Tech another team with Alan Bowman going down early because we talked out Peyton Ramsey stepping in even though he started last year as starter. Kyle Trask stepping in a starter early. Jet Duffy is don a really nice job. This season's results are definitely not on his ability.

I would agree with that. Yeah, all right. Finally, Oklahoma State thirty one to thirteen over Kansas. They led thirty one NIERL going into fourth into the fourth quarter. Excuse me, nice game for Juba Hubbard and Dylan Stoner for the Pokes. Yep. Finally, in the ACC, we had Clemson clemsono got Thurder fifty two to three over Hashtag. Consider Wake Jamie Newman. Jamie Newman the leader of that Wake Forest offense, which isn't like it's not high powered per se, but they score points.

Wake should finish nine and three. They finished with Duke and Syracuse. Shout out to Syracuse for getting on the ACC win column board. Yeah, this is a an above average auch somewhat impressive Wake offense against some down ACC opponents.

Now that Clemson is officially a playoff team, at least according to the latest batch of rankings. They decided to show off their playoff skills here fifty two to three. Jamie Newman held to six or fourteen passing for forty one yards and two touchdowns on the day. Again a decent, a completely decent wake Forest offense held to just one hundred and five total yards.

Stand Wake down their best receiver, if not you know, an all ACC performer in Sage surat Sarat. It was Wake five first downs, two of thirteen on third down. I admit that I did not watch much of this game because it was what twenty eight three thirty one three at halftime, so there wasn't a ton of second half Clemson to really figure out.

Okay, this is what Clemson looks like. Now.

Clemson's incredible. They're they're doing great. They've poured it on. Hard to fully know what we have in this Clemson team because of the ACC in twenty nineteen, both in terms of changes and teams falling off cliffs. I see UNC State, but Clemson looks scary.

They look really good. I'm gonna lump Notre Dame in here. Okay, Notre Dame fifty two to twenty over Navy wasn't even that close No, they did what I was hoping they'd do. Yeah, I wanted more downfield stuff. I said Chase Claypool was a matchup disadvantage of not telling people things they don't know. But Notre Dame needed to do a better job getting him the ball. While they did, he had one hundred and seventeen yards and four touchdowns. If you do it,

If you can believe I did see that, How did ian book look to you? Obviously it's an overmatch Navy secondary Navy defense against a Notre Dame ode. I thought when humming is impressive, I thought he looked really good. Okay, he looked really good in this football game. So did not watch a second of this?

No?

Okay. Florida State forty nine, Alabama State twelve. Florida State gets Bowl eligible, I guess is the most notable factoid here.

Virginia Tech has a quarterback. I know it's Georgia Tech, but Hendon Hooker is good and so good for the Hokies. It was a balanced win, it was a dominant win over Georgia Tech. I mentioned Syracuse getting onto the winning side of things in the sec ACC standings. Louisville Michael Cunningham, Hell, ye, yeah, Michael Cunningham is one of just the season's quietest breakouts, and he is not going to be quiet for that much longer because I think Louisville's going to keep improving

I mean, he's there.

They have a ways to go to be Michale, thank you, like Clemson, but he was great once again too to at Well. Really good for Louisville, and I am excited to see if Louisville can keep ascending pit wins in overtime Thursday night, we love This was a snake in the toilet game for me. I thought North Carolina had a good shot and they really closed it out strong, as North Carolina just does every week. They show nothing for a quarter or two and they come on strong

The coastal they are very much so. And North Carolina for their part, by the way, they're at four and six, but they have Mercer and NC State to get the six wins. I feel pretty good, well certainly about Mercer, but State right now and North Carolina feel like ship's passing in the night, maybe going in different directions. So I like Mac Brown's chances to get the six wins, which would really be a revelation in your one.

Not bad, Yeah, I mean we had conversations after a week or two like eight win.

Mac not there anymore. But six win Mac would be pretty good. Yeah.

Yeah, I would like to see North Carolina just maybe score a touchdown each quarter, each quarter?

Yeah, what did what did we leave out? Give me a quick run through here, anything we missed?

I thought Boise State did a tremendous job with a third string quarterback, and I want to say his name is Jalen Henderson.

I don't have it in front of me right now.

I apologize, but he throws for three touchdowns in a comfortable Boise win over I believe it was New Mexico who Boise played Utah State with a nice win over Wyoming. You know, I'm a Mountain West stand so here, let's

It does not.

Cincinnati has to come back against South Florida, and it's really good that they did. They finished the season with I think a couple big it's Temple and Memphis. I'm loading this right now to confirm correct. Memphis on the road, so good for Cincy to hold on to get to nine and one. A nice performance from South Florida in a losing effort. Elsewhere, I think Louisiana has very another

Air Force.

I don't know if you caught the end and saw the stakes of air Force Colorado State. Oh yeah, so Colorado State a ten and a half point dog. They're down ten, knocking on the door, either on the one inside, the one one and a half, whatever it is, they throw a ninety nine yard pick six, unbelievab loose, in heartbreaking fashion for anybody who had the rams plus ten and a half. So the very impressive season from air Force continues. So they comfortably beat in state Colorado State.

With me.

I don't know you want to do dudes. We do want to do dudes. We mentioned the Northwestern over ums. I just want to make sure Army just destroyed VMI app State very quietly keeps on winning. They drop nearly sixty against Georgia State. I just don't want to leave anybody out TI. This is inclusive.

Oh.

I do want to mention that Dartmouth lost. I know the mouths mouth these go down to the other Nelly's shout out, Andy Bernard, Yes, Tyle, let's mention some dudes. All right, give me dudes for week twelve, all right quickly, Tyler Huntley Connor as Sally.

I know it's not pronounced like that, but still.

Oh.

By the way, the Iowa state kicker Connor a Sally. He may have broken his collar bone celebrating. Oh, I hope not pulled the old grammatic injured celebrating. Yes, John Reese plumbley in a losing effort. T Higgins was nothing but end zone. Shaye Patterson. I want to shout out, and also also aj Epanessa just cuming up huge for Iowa. Sure many more dudes, we will talk about them, perhaps on the twos cruise if you need to know what the twos cruise is. We don't just do recaps and previews.

Bright and Early. Tuesday Morning drops at six am Eastern Time three pm three am excuse me Pacific. Yeah, we will be back talking, as Dan said, big picture stuff. We also have our preview show for week thirteen, Big Week thirteen in front of us here. We will drop that show on Thursday morning. If you like the show, what's the rule? Subscribe to the show? Yeah, you can do so on Apple, Google, Spotify, sit you're overcast, tune in any of the usual hotspots. All that stuff counts.

Dan Well Lehi got embarrassed by the credis of Sacred Heart. Colgates gets to five hundred in the PAT League Ornate overall, but they get to five under the PAT League, shutting out Lafayette in Easton. I thought you were going to go, but apparently you did not know. Holy Cross is the class of the Pat League. They take down Fordham in a bit of a shootout.

Well Across scored thirty five points in the fourth quarter of this game. Wow.

And Georgetown, which looked started the season out pretty impressively, they go down to Bucknell in your favorite PA town of Lewisbourg, PA.

Lewisburg, PA. Okay, Well, thank you to everyone for hanging with us here as we talked all things week twelve. As Dan said, we'll be back on Tuesday morning for the tues cruise. Set sail again for college football parts unknown, and please do tell friends about the sOliver Bowl. I know we're coming down the stretch run here, but we've got a bowl pick a pool, which we're excited about. It should be a lot of fun. People get into it.
