00:00Well, let's get after it here in the Big 12, Joe.

00:0212 o'clock noon kickoff on Saturday, BYU and Texas Tech.

00:06This line opened up around 12 and a half.

00:07Now we're seeing 12 and a halves to 13 and a halves in the marketplace.

00:11In the total, Joe, listed at 50 and a half.

00:13A lot is on the line.

00:14I'm going to ask you some questions about college football

00:16and what that program today is going to deliver.

00:18But tell me the spread line and what we should watch out for

00:21for BYU and Texas Tech.

00:23Well, we just talked about one of them, Donnie, right?

00:26We talked about what is the coach for BYU doing?

00:29Is he going to be the next Penn State coach?

00:31Is it a distraction?

00:33Is there a deal done before this game kicks off?

00:36By the way, early kickoff in Jerry World there in Arlington

00:40with BYU and Texas Tech.

00:42Texas Tech destroyed him the first game, right?

00:44The first matchup, 29 to 7.

00:46They were almost a two-touchdown favorite, but that game was in Lubbock.

00:50This is in a neutral setting here.

00:54I mean, listen, it's a four-hour drive from Arlington to Lubbock there.

00:58So this is going to be a very pro-Texas Tech crowd here.

01:02Heavy money.

01:03And why wouldn't it be, Donnie?

01:05I mean, BYU has been a great story, but Texas Tech is literally just running away

01:11with every game.

01:12I think the money is going to keep coming in on Texas Tech.

01:16They apparently are going to go scorched earth,

01:19and there's a lot of question marks now around this BYU team with who's coaching it.

01:23Revenge is wonderful, but the market doesn't seem to think BYU is going to get it.
