00:00you're going to be in columbus for week one who would you have favored in this game

00:19um i would probably do about what the books have which is have ohio state

00:25you know sort of like that one to two point favorite area which implies short texas favorite

00:31neutral field i was talking to a guy the other day he's one of those guys that always likes to

00:36make everyone feel good and he so he said oh well you know texas wins ohio state wins at least it'll

00:41be a good game and that's kind of this formal thing everyone says to everyone if they're trying

00:46to be hospitable before these big games and i was thinking as i was driving away like 20 minutes

00:51later i thought how in the world does anyone know this is going to be a good game it could be 38 to

00:5610 either way uh because there's there's very very rarely do you get this kind of blend of talent and

01:03uncertainty on a field at the same time in college football there are very few rosters that look like

01:08these uh there are very few rosters with this little amount of returning proven production and both of

01:14them have that and so when you have something that combustible yeah it could be a 24 to 23 classic

01:19decided at the buzzer someone could just be minus three turnovers and it could be a route and that

01:24wouldn't surprise me either way either it will be a spectacle that much we do know if if one team is

01:31going to blow the other one out which one's more likely do you think i really think both of them

01:35are more i i literally because i asked myself that the other day like if we were if we were to have

01:39penn state ohio state it's either penn state went close or ohio state wins close or blows them out

01:44all the options are on the table for ohio state i think all the options are on the table for both

01:49of these teams now sure as i say that you may sit in fort worth or you may sit in dayton and

01:56respectively you may say our team's not getting blown out no it's unlikely but i think it's equal

02:02parts possible it wouldn't be because one dominated the other is
