00:00Utah and Cam Rising, who's on his fourth wife. He just had his 13th child in his 35th year

00:12of playing college football at Utah. I don't know how the Mormons get away with it. Oklahoma

00:17State hosting him in Stillwater. Boone Piggins, a tough place to play with all those punks

00:22down there. Coach? Well, you know what, Cam Rising is a thing. You know, he dislocated

00:27his finger, missed last football game. The word I've got out of there, Utah, is that

00:31he practiced on Tuesday and Wednesday. And you got to practice those days to get ready

00:36for a game. But that doesn't mean he practiced well. We're not hearing exactly. And that's

00:40tough. If you're an offensive lineman, you take that finger up and you play football.

00:43But when you're a quarterback with your right hand dislocated finger, I just don't know

00:47how that goes. If Cam Rising plays, they'll win the football game. If he plays, I think

00:51he's that much of a difference maker. They were the preseason favorite in the Big 12.

00:56With him ready to go and throwing the ball well, I think that'll be the difference this

00:59football game. Did you really believe that just because he was there that they'd win

01:05the Big 12 in their first year going up in weight? I mean, that's like going up to fight

01:10light heavy when you're a super middleweight. I didn't think they'd win the conference.

01:14I think that's yet to be determined. I think they're going to have their hands full in

01:17Stillwater tomorrow. Oh, I think I don't think there's any question. If Cam Rising doesn't

01:22play, I think I'd go with Oklahoma State. And Oklahoma State's funny. They'll play good

01:26one week and bad the next week. You really don't know what you got last year. I believe

01:30they lost to South Alabama early in the season and then played great down the stretch. I just

01:34think Cam Rising is one of those quarterbacks that's a difference maker, you know, much like

01:39a Cam Ward at Miami. Maybe that's an over exaggeration because he's a phenomenal player,

01:43but I do think he gives them an edge in this football game. Now that the reason I get,

01:47I don't think the Big 12, there's not a team that just jumps out at you. There's not a team

01:52that jumps out and says, this is the big time. They've lost so many teams, like in Oklahoma,

01:58Texas in the old days. They're no longer there anymore. So I think that's a wide open conference

02:02where there may not be a great team. There's just which team ends up playing better than the other

02:07teams.
