00:00Let's take a look at the other matchup in the conference.

00:03It's Texas A&M and Miami.

00:05We have Carson Beck squaring off against Marcel Reed.

00:09When you look at this matchup, Marcel Reed is a dual threat.

00:13Carson Beck, prototypical dropback passer, did have some struggles in games and losses

00:19against SMU and Louisville.

00:21When you see this matchup, Beck going on the road to Kyle Field, give me your thoughts

00:26about the quarterback aspect, Miami and A&M.

00:30You know, I think that stat, what it doesn't show is the rushing yardage of both quarterbacks.

00:35I think of Marcel Reed being a much bigger threat.

00:38When the quarterback has to do the things that win the game, his ability to run the football,

00:43to extend a play by moving around, getting out of the pocket and still throwing the football,

00:49that's where he exceeds the talent of Carson Beck.

00:52On the other hand, Carson Beck is a little bit higher percentage thrower, probably more

00:57of your prototype NFL type quarterback who can throw and dish it out.

01:01Got more experience just because the number of years he's played in big games.

01:05So it ought to be a great matchup.

01:08I just like the dual threat capabilities of Marcel Reed against good football teams.

01:14But I do think Miami has an overall team that can compete with Texas A&M.

01:19But I give Marcel Reed and Texas A&M a bit of an edge when it comes to how well the quarterback

01:24can play the game.

01:26And when you look at just the atmosphere of Kyle Field in College Station, right, that's

01:32a different animal than anything that Miami has played in in a road environment up until

01:37this point.

01:38They did go into Dallas-Fort Worth in that matchup against SMU, and they lost as a six

01:44and a half point road favorite in overtime, 26 to 20.

01:49Maybe for Carson Beck being battle tested and playing in SEC championships.

01:55But for that team as a whole to go into 110,000 plus fans with a college football title, potentially

02:02on the line in a semifinal playoff appearance, a lot of pressure on Carson Beck and the Hurricanes

02:09to potentially step up.

02:11Well, and it's the entire offense because what a great advantage it is to have a bye.

02:16And for the next four teams to have home game, they've all got great stadiums.

02:20And Texas A&M may be the best of all stadiums.

02:23And it's not so much the quarterback that has a difficult time in those stadiums.

02:26But you watch and see how many illegal procedures, how many times the offensive line can't hear

02:31the snap count, how they can't communicate well in an environment like that.

02:35That's the most difficult thing is for the offense overall, not to have two or three series

02:41where the procedure penalty or a procedure or an execution penalty affects them and costs

02:48them the football game.

02:49Let's take a look at the last matchup.

02:51Trinidad Chambliss, Jake Retzloff, Tulane and Ole Miss.

02:56How much will Chambliss miss Lane Kiffin or will Charlie Weiss have Chambliss hitting on

03:03all cylinders?

03:05You know, it's going to be amazing.

03:06I think of all the people, I think it would affect him more than others.

03:10He just seems so attached at the hip to Lane Kiffin.

03:13Their popularity, their story, the way they picked him up late where he wasn't sought after

03:19by a lot of teams.

03:20He kind of came in with this season as someone no one expected.

03:24I think Lane Kiffin made great decisions to stay with him and they've handled it so well.

03:30But again, I have to wonder what behind the scenes is happening in his mind, in his group

03:36of people that represent him as he gets pulled to the scenes.

03:39But he's had a great season.

03:40I see no reason.

03:41He seems to have handled every difficult situation so far as well.

03:45Nothing seems to be too big for this kid.

03:47And he goes in there and I think he'll be able to handle the situation pretty well.
