00:03 How about Oregon?
00:04 Takes a loss in the Pac-12 final and says, hey, what's your prize gonna be?
00:07 Okay, it's the Fiesta Bowl at a 10 AM local start against Liberty and
00:12 a 15.5 point favorite for Oregon.
00:15 64.5 mark is the total here.
00:17 Yay, motivation factors all over the place as Liberty.
00:22 Yes, gonna be very excited to play Oregon.
00:24 The question for me is, who is Oregon actually going to be playing on the field?
00:28 Probably not Bo Nix or does Bo Nix wanna ride this out and
00:30 say one last time with the guys at the Fiesta Bowl?
00:34 Yay, bowl season mark.
00:35 >> Yeah, well, I mean, motivation and
00:38 situation dictate a lot more than who's got the better roster, right?
00:42 I mean, this is a game that I'll absolutely win on.
00:45 Look, there are some college bowl games I've already fired on,
00:48 just because based off the number and where they are.
00:50 And I'm not too worried about the opt outs because of the situation and
00:55 who's going to be playing and things of that nature and where they're playing.
00:57 Some of these bowl games have lined up as de facto home games for
01:00 one team versus another, so I think that's part of it.
01:03 But yeah, I mean, it wouldn't shock me if Bo Nix played, no.
01:06 I mean, he is 36 and has played every game of his college career, so
01:10 I haven't seen him ever walk away from an opportunity to play football.
01:15 So it wouldn't surprise me.
01:17 But I mean, for a team like Oregon and Dan Lanning,
01:20 I know that they probably wanna win a bowl game.
01:23 But I don't know that they have the motivation or really desire to.
01:27 This reminds me last year of Tulane and USC, you remember that game,
01:31 where it was a shootout that Tulane ended up winning in the last minute.
01:35 I'd probably take the over here.
01:37 I'd definitively take the points with Liberty,
01:40 just knowing that they're gonna go all out and try to win this thing.
01:43 So I don't know that you can lay that big of a number with Oregon.
