00:00Because we got a monster game on Saturday.
00:01It kicks off at noon.
00:03We don't have to wait any longer.
00:04It's Ohio State and it's Texas.
00:07And just to take a look at the game board in this,
00:08opened up around that two and a half spread over the summer.
00:11We're now seeing one and a halves and down to ones.
00:14The money coming in on Texas.
00:16Will Texas wind up being the favorite by the time we get to kick off tomorrow?
00:20We'll find out.
00:21But, Joe, there are some interesting statistics that we take a look at here,
00:24which were tweeted out by Fox.
00:26How will Julian Sayan perform against the number one ranked Longhorns?
00:29Did you know, Joe Ranieri, 0-16 quarterback starting debuts
00:34versus number one opponents since 2010?
00:36Oh, boy.
00:38That ain't a good look, Joe.
00:40No, it's not.
00:41But how many of those 0-16 quarterbacks played their game at the shoe
00:47and had Jeremiah Smith as a wide receiver to catch the ball?
00:52Yeah, no.
00:53Yeah, no, no.
00:54So that's a nice number.
00:55But that means absolutely nothing here at this point.
00:59Listen, I think this is a toss-up game between these two teams.
01:03Yes, there's a lot of question marks at Ohio State.
01:07But is there really – are we really going to be shocked if Ohio State at home
01:12with Julian Sayan and Jeremiah Smith and all the other new faces there,
01:18are we really going to be shocked that they actually win this game at home?
01:21Because I would not be in any way, shape, or form.
01:25I think this is going to be a great game.
01:27I don't think either of these two teams, whatever we get tomorrow, Donnie,
01:32these will not be the same teams in October.
01:36So keep that in mind.
01:37Both these teams will likely get better as the season progresses,
01:42which is why I think – I don't think either of these teams are going for broke
01:46in this game, in game one.
01:47I like the under in this game a lot because you've got two quarterback –
01:52first road start for Manning.
01:56You just mentioned it, Julian Sayan.
01:58This is his first start period in college here.
02:01But they both have a ton of experienced weapons.
02:04But I don't think either coach is going to allow the quarterbacks to bury them here.
02:08I would expect more.
02:10We're going to bully you.
02:11We're going to run the ball down your throat.
02:13The defenses are going to step up.
02:15I think the under is a much better play than trying to figure out
02:19which one of these teams, coin flip-wise, is going to win this game.
