00:00the granddaddy of them all that is the rose ball you know where it's played out in los angeles at
00:04the rose ball they like their time slot joe each and every year at 4 p.m so you can see
00:09the sunset over what mountain range joe do you know the sang gabriel mountains
00:15there we go six and a half point favorite for indiana taking on alabama a 48 and a half total
00:23let's start with the side itself joe indiana unbeaten they knocked off a team nobody thought
00:27could really get beat this year in ohio state but alabama seemingly left for dead after the sec
00:32championship game where they got throttled by georgia where a lot of people including myself
00:36felt that they might not even make it into the playoff then joe they found themselves down 17
00:41points on the road at oklahoma and they stormed back and won that football game it's one of those
00:48teams that they like to say now they're hard to kill joe taking on indiana yeah it's an interesting
00:54matchup i you know if alabama is going to try and run the football in indiana it's going to be a long
00:59day they're going to get blown out in this matchup but again if they could chuck it maybe 40 times in
01:05this matchup with ty simpson maybe they have a shot to get the football to bernard and and ryan
01:10williams they're two big play wide receivers uh you look at that matchup against oklahoma they weathered
01:16this storm they found a way to pull away and win it by 10 points 34 to 24 if they make this attract me
01:23i think maybe potentially alabama can steal it i i love indiana i just don't buy into them as being
01:31the best team in the country i know that sounds crazy they've dominated their 13 and 0 fernando
01:37mendoza is the heisman trophy winner but i'm going to take the six and a half points with alabama i don't
01:43love caitlin deborre but as an underdog i'll take the speed of alabama sec versus big 10 give me the
01:50crimson tied in an upset feels like one of those correlations joe we look at like the quarterback
01:55passing prop numbers mendoza 233 and a half sure it makes some sense but ty simpson 240 and a half
02:00as you've pointed out and we've watched over the past what month and a half alabama cannot run the
02:04football so ty simpson throwing for a buck 75 and alabama winning would be nothing short of a miracle
02:09which means they got five turnovers and you know indiana just couldn't get out of their own way
02:13how do we feel about that 240 and a half passing prop number for ty simpson
02:17i think he should blow through it now we've seen julian saying in that ohio state offense
02:23you know struggle and they kept in in check jeremiah smith and cornell tate but again if
02:29they utilize tempo and they don't look to run the football i think you throw the rushing attack out
02:34the window for the second half of this matchup you look to throw it early and often you utilize the
02:40speed that you do possess on the perimeter and see if you can get them into a higher scoring game
02:45and then the first team to potentially 30 wins it so again i i think ty simpson has to get through
02:52his passing total donnie uh whereas we look at indiana i i think if mendoza comes around 190
02:59or 200 they could still win it because if they have a better rushing attack and they could run the
03:05football on a suspect front seven they could control the clock and keep simpson on the sidelines
03:11it's more important for simpson to get through his total than mendoza now take a look at this one
03:17joe alabama's total rushing yards for this game what would you point that number at
03:23i would say 92 79 and a half joe any takers on that they gotta have some semblance of a running game
03:34let's figure they hand the football 18 to 22 times we're not getting 80 yards too many sacks
03:40yeah the sacks are what kills you though with that donnie i i mean if they you know i mean simpson
03:47has shown a propensity to get sacked i mean here's the thing you think the game is going to play out
03:52for alabama the way it did against oklahoma or does this look similar to the georgia game because
03:59if it plays similar to the georgia game he gets sacked multiple times they're in long third down
04:05situations they play more zone than they do man to man then it's going to be a long day for ty simpson
04:11but i think the way you you defeat that is you utilize a little bit of tempo you know come out hurry
04:17up offense look to get ty simpson involved into a rhythm utilize bernard utilize williams see if you
04:24could score early then it's game on
