00:00USC, Oregon.
00:02The old Michael Scott, snip, snap, snip, snap, snip, snap.
00:06That's what keeps happening with this side here.
00:08As people can't decide which one of these two West Coast teams they hate more.
00:14And they are more interested in fading.
00:16Nobody is betting on a team in this game.
00:20You are either betting against Oregon or you are betting against USC.
00:25We're seeing more people.
00:27It appears, Dave, that against USC, as the hooks have appeared across the board.
00:36This is three and a half everywhere that we are looking.
00:40What is your outlook here with the Trojans and the Ducks?
00:44Yeah, this is the hardest game to cap the entire week.
00:47And I agree with everybody who doesn't know what to do with this game.
00:51Because you've got an Oregon team that was supposed to be a national title contender
00:54that's looked awful through the first few weeks of the season.
00:56And I'm not really counting Portland State.
00:58I think my kid's seventh grade team could beat them.
01:00And a USC team that has looked good at times, but that allowed 30 points to Rutgers, which
01:06is just kind of a no-no.
01:08That should get you eliminated from contention if you allow 30 points to Rutgers.
01:12Hasn't won a big game since, I don't know, since Reggie Bush was back there.
01:17So, I don't really like a side in this game.
01:20Should I play it?
01:21And it's not on my card right now.
01:23I'm leaning towards the over of a number that keeps sneaking up there.
01:27Because I don't think either team has a defense.
01:30Like, this seems to me, Kevin, like a last possession type game.
01:34Whoever has the ball last is going to win it or lose it on that possession.
01:37Like, USC allowing 26 points to San Jose State, 30 to Louisiana, 104th in the country in success
01:46rate on defense.
01:47Oregon's got an offense.
01:48We know it.
01:49We may not have seen it versus Oklahoma State.
01:51We saw it versus Portland State.
01:53Of all the struggles that Oregon has dealt with this year, their offense is still ninth
01:58in the country in EPA per play on offense.
02:00So, I see a lot of points in this game.
02:03I don't see a lot of defense in this game.
02:06You got ninth in EPA per play on one side and giving up 26 and 30 points to not good
02:12teams
02:12on the other side.
02:13I lean Oregon, but I also like the over if I was going to play anything in this game.
02:19So, this is a very frustrating game for me.
02:25One of the beautiful things about college football is because you know where the big games are
02:31and you're trying to figure out win totals, you occasionally know what you like in this game.
02:39You know what you like in August, right?
02:42July for some people.
02:44And I knew I liked USC here in August.
02:49I was supposed to be getting maybe a touchdown and Oregon had to mess that up because they
03:00were overrated like I thought they were, but apparently so much so that we couldn't get
03:07the spot that we wanted.
03:09And I don't have the one, again, I'm not getting the number I would have thought I'm getting,
03:17but the facts have changed, right?
03:22I thought it was probably going to be, you know, puff the chest out Dan Lanning on the
03:29road.
03:29We're going to smoke USC.
03:32Trojans come in.
03:33Everything to prove.
03:34That's not what this game is.
03:36This is an Oregon team who was still clearly angry about the Oklahoma State game.
03:44Not just because they lost.
03:46They were embarrassed.
03:48The fallout from the game was Twitter telling us that there could have been second overall
03:55draft pick quarterback has tells so obvious that half of Twitter knows it and that's why
04:02they couldn't move the ball.
04:03So they, like them hanging 84 on Portland State, I don't think was trying to even impress
04:11pollsters.
04:11That's how angry I think they were.
04:14And evidently Portland State wasn't on Twitter because they couldn't find the tells if they
04:21allowed Dante Moore for 84 points.
04:25It is scary.
04:26I do think they come out there and score today.
04:30You were right with wanting a touchdown.
04:32And I think if all things had happened normal, you'd be getting a touchdown here and it would
04:36be a great spot to grab USC at home.
04:39Three and a half.
04:40Just it's just.
04:41I can't figure out who I would want on this side.
04:44And there is a pool where I have to pick the side and I will pick it by the time
04:47noon starts.
04:50But it's just, is there defense to be had here, Kevin?
04:54That's the question.
04:55Is anybody going to step up and stop anybody?
04:57Bye.
