00:00Florida and Texas.

00:01Texas comes to town.

00:02You know as well as I do.

00:04You've coached at high-level major football games there at Auburn

00:07and certainly throughout college football.

00:09But understand this.

00:10There's not a lot of moral victories when you turn to your booster and say,

00:12well, we lost that game, but we kept it close.

00:14Florida actually has done that.

00:16Can they keep it close enough today to maybe knock off Texas

00:19or that extra break here for Arch Manning and Steve Sarkeesian

00:23really pays off today?

00:24Yeah, I think they'll keep it close.

00:26Both teams are struggling on offense, underachieving.

00:29Manning is not quite up to where he needs to be.

00:32DJ Lagway, everybody's waiting for that explosive breakout moment.

00:36But both of their defenses are playing very well.

00:39Texas a little better, but not a lot.

00:41Good athletes on both sides of the ball.

00:43So I love that under in this game.

00:45It's going to be a low-scoring game.

00:47But you know what?

00:48Texas has a better football team, and they'll be tied up or close in the fourth,

00:53and they'll get one touchdown more in the fourth quarter

00:55and win by seven in the last minutes of the game.

00:59Coach, I know you know Billy Napier.

01:01He's been on the hot seat.

01:03Could he afford another loss, or potentially could we see a situation

01:07like Sam Pittman in Arkansas?

01:10You know, if it's a good close game, he may can afford another loss,

01:14and they not make a move now.

01:15If it's a bad loss, they may make their move now.

01:19But I think as the season goes along, and I really like Billy Napier.

01:23My brother gave him his first job.

01:25He was assistant on my brother's staff at Clemson.

01:27I coached against him when he was at Lafayette.

01:29He does a great job, great recruiter, but he just hasn't done what you must do

01:33at Florida.

01:34So if they keep it close, I don't think any ax falls this week.

01:37But as I look at their schedule down the road

01:40and their evaluations at some point, I don't see much hope.

01:44And although we'll keep our fingers crossed for a good guy,

01:46but I don't see much hope down the road.

01:49Coach, let's sneak in another one here between Mississippi State

01:51and Texas A&M.

01:52You got the Aggies, top six in the country, 4-0, 1-0 in the SEC.

01:55And how about Mississippi State?

01:564-1 so far, 0-1 looking to get their first SEC victory.

02:00It is a heavy line today, but a good one there on the docket.

02:03I love it.

02:04I love this.

02:05This is one of my picks of the day.

02:06I just look at Mississippi State.

02:07I think they're the most improved team in the SEC, maybe in the country.

02:12They beat Arizona State early in the season.

02:16Arizona State's only come back to beat TCU and beat Baylor.

02:20Good Arizona State team they beat.

02:22They lost to Tennessee in overtime.

02:24In overtime to Tennessee, they're undefeated.

02:26They run an offense similar to Tennessee's.

02:28They've got a quarterback.

02:30You can make plays.

02:31They're going to score points.

02:32They've got such a lead.

02:33I love Mississippi's points.

02:35I can't pull against the Aggies in College Station,

02:38but I can pull against that 16.5 points.
