00:00Let's take a look at some other games on the landscape,

00:01and that does include tonight Ohio and Rutgers from the great state of New

00:06Jersey, a six o'clock kickoff.

00:07Ohio opened up getting 10 and a half points, Joe.

00:10We see it multiple outlets now, 15 and a half points.

00:13The Ohio Bobcats are getting here.

00:15Rutgers 10 and a half point spread again to 15 and a half.

00:19Come on now.

00:20What's Rutgers got tonight, Joe, a big time cover.

00:22Can they cover the two touchdown plus?

00:24Well, I mean, you've got last year's Mac champion, right?

00:28That would be Ohio coming off of, I believe, three straight 10 win seasons here.

00:34They've won more games in the last three years than any other team in the Mac

00:39conference.

00:39The problem is that was Tim Albin's teams there.

00:42He is now the head coach over at Charlotte, which means they got a new head coach,

00:47but he has been on the staff since the early to 2020.

00:52So he's a guy that's very familiar.

00:54He gets a returning quarterback, gets a, uh, a returning running back.

00:59They've got some nice pieces on the outside.

01:01So this is a team where this is one of the best Mac teams.

01:05And it has been for a while, but Rutgers is also returning a quarterback plus all five

01:11starters on the offensive line.

01:13And you know, Shiano, even though they got a new DC there and only two returning starters

01:19on the defensive side of the ball, you know, nobody knows defense better than Shiano.

01:25So I think they will be just fine.

01:27Wouldn't shock me if this is more competitive than people think, but ultimately I think too

01:33much experience, too much big 10 style, too much a ground and pound here.

01:38I think Rutgers wins and probably wins going away late in this game.
