00:00Now, let's shift gears, and I want to ask you about, because I get that opportunity

00:06today only, Texas and Ohio State basically playing in Texas, in Arlington, at Jerry's

00:13World, a home game against the vaunted Buckeyes, who everyone has been suckered by.

00:21Everyone now, after what they did to Oregon at the Rose Bowl, everyone and their brothers

00:24betting on them to win the national championship.

00:26They're like, oh my God, they're a pro team.

00:28They can't be stopped.

00:31Texas has them tomorrow night at home, basically, 100,000 fans.

00:35You can't tell me it's not going to be 80,000 Texas fans.

00:38I don't believe for one minute that when you saw the Rose Bowl, it was Buckeye, you had

00:42the Scarlet, and then you had the Green of Oregon.

00:46It was half and half, like at Pasadena.

00:50That's not happening at Jerry's World.

00:52There's not going to be a half and half.

00:54I mean, it's going to be 80-20.

00:57I think 25, well, depending on the travel, too.

00:59I mean, there's snow on the ground here in Ohio, and there's going to be some travel

01:03issues.

01:04I do think it will be a Texas partisan crowd, but Ohio State fans will show up.

01:08You know who else is going to show up?

01:11A lot of five-star players.

01:12When you have 32 players between these teams, 32 five-star guys, 20 on Ohio State, 12 on

01:20Texas.

01:21That's why I don't think it's going to be an easy cakewalk for Ohio State, provided

01:24Texas survives the first quarter, because Texas has dudes at every play level as well,

01:30and they have receivers, and they have guys on defense.

01:33I think this is going to be a fantastic football game that comes down to the fourth quarter,

01:37and whichever team, it could be a who-has-the-ball-last-type game, would not be surprised.

01:43Who in the hell on Texas can stop Ibuka and this kid Smith?

01:48Well, I mean, they're going to try with Jaday Barron and Andrew Makuba, a couple corners

01:53with five interceptions each, but Jeremiah Smith is out of this world right now.

01:57The way he high-points the ball, these comparisons to Terrell Owens, Julio Jones.

02:02You know who I actually compare him to?

02:04The last freshman I watched where I truly said, this dude could play in the NFL right

02:10away, it wasn't Miles Garrett, it wasn't Jaday Bion Clowney, it was Adrian Peterson.

02:16Adrian Peterson's the last freshman I watched where I was like, yeah, I'm good, he can go

02:19play for the Cowboys now, or whoever.

02:22That's how I feel about Jeremiah Smith.

02:24I'm like, yeah, I'm good, he can play, but it's a little trickier with receivers, as

02:28you know.

02:29We haven't had a receiver get drafted number one since 1996.

02:34That kid, he could start this weekend for any team in the wildcard and score two touchdowns.
