00:00The other matchup coach is Louisville on the road against Virginia Tech.
00:03We saw Virginia Tech knock off Cal in double overtime as a four-and-a-half point home favorite.
00:10This is a team playing with a little bit of house money.
00:12They're trying to fight back to get their bowl respectability and eligibility
00:16with their interim head coach, Phillip Montgomery.
00:20They're catching 11-and-a-half right now.
00:22I think they could be live in Blacksburg Saturday afternoon.
00:25Well, you know, Louisville's never won in Blacksburg.
00:27You know, they don't play a lot, but they've never won a game in Blacksburg.
00:31Now, it's not a night game, and that's when that's a tough place to play.
00:34I think they've moved it to a 3 o'clock afternoon game, but it'll be a game that Louisville –
00:39I think Louisville's got one of the best running backs in the country.
00:42I've watched Isaac Brown.
00:43I don't think there's anybody in the country much better than him.
00:46They've got to utilize him in the running game and then don't have the turnovers.
00:50They had three turnovers against Boston College, although they won the game.
00:53They've had a problem with turnovers, but Louisville's got a chance.
00:57They've got a better football team.
00:58And Virginia Tech, you just don't – they've got a lot more to play for than Virginia Tech.
01:03And I think – because they're still right in the middle of everything,
01:05and Virginia Tech's just trying to hang on with an interim coach.
01:08I don't know if you saw the interview with Philip Montgomery, the interim head coach.
01:13He was also there at Tulsa.
01:15He's been a head coach previously.
01:17But is there any shot that Montgomery potentially could be named in this coaching search,
01:23depending upon if they win out?
01:25And a bigger name, would Brian Kelly be a fit for the Hokies?
01:28Well, I don't know if that program would be what Brian Kelly –
01:31Brian Kelly still probably envisions himself as hitting one of the top programs in the country.
01:36He's going to have to probably renegotiate that situation in his own mind.
01:42But, you know, if they could win out, that's a chance for a coach like Montgomery
01:47to get in there and get a shot at it.
01:49Although when you fire your coach early in the season,
01:51you're usually looking for somebody else.
01:53Because if you're going to hire somebody on your staff,
01:56you really don't have to get rid of anybody too early.
01:58And so I would think they're going to look outside and try to find somebody
02:01that they can bring in and create a spark that way.
