00:00Let's go to some of the games this weekend.
00:02How big is this Texas LSU game when it comes to talking about the 12-team tournament?
00:07Well, LSU needs to win for Lane Kiffin to have any shot of getting into the playoff this year,
00:12which is the expectation at LSU.
00:14He left an Ole Miss team that could have won the national championship last year
00:17because he felt he could go to an LSU team that can win a national championship.
00:21And he already has three losses.
00:23They've lost to Kentucky.
00:24They've lost another game to Alabama at home.
00:27And there's been very little from this LSU team so far this year
00:31that is much better than we saw before with Brian Kelly.
00:34Like, what was all the money?
00:35What was all the hubbub?
00:36What was getting the governor involved?
00:38What was all that for if we're going to potentially be here at four losses
00:42in the regular season if we lose here to Texas?
00:45As for Texas, again, two losses, but good wins.
00:50Can probably lose this game and still be in that field.
00:54But Texas has been so inconsistent all season long.
00:57There's going to be one or two drives in this game where you see Arch Manning
01:00and you go, man, that's the guy we think is going to be a number one pick.
01:04Everybody get on the Arch train.
01:05And then the next drive, you're going to be like, what happened?
01:08It's just every game, the inconsistency is there.
01:12The good of both of these teams is very good,
01:15but the bad has been pretty bad too.
01:17Chris, do you think this also has a sidebar ramification when it comes to Arch?
01:23Say he does lose his football game.
01:25Is he back in Austin, or do you think he enters the transfer portal?
01:31Well, I mean, he was the thought to be number one NFL draft pick coming into the season,
01:38and it hasn't really played out that way.
01:40But no quarterback has really played that great.
01:42Now they're talking about Drew Mestemaker as maybe your number one.
01:45So you have some quarterbacks who are maybe not graded that well,
01:49who may be best served to go pro because somebody's got to get drafted.
01:55And I think what we saw with Dante Moore getting hurt,
01:57his decision to come back to Oregon when he could have been a top five pick,
02:01you know, maybe that changes the calculus for some players who maybe go pro
02:04when they're not quite ready.
02:05But if Arch decides to come back, it's going to be very interesting to see.
02:09It feels like he's not a good fit in Steve Sarkeesian's offense here.
02:13And the processing has not been what you want it to be.
02:16Would it be better for Arch Manning to go get a fresh start somewhere else
02:20and see if he can get back to that level people think he can?
02:24Because he has never looked comfortable in this offense.
02:27And either they changed the offense or maybe he looks somewhere else.
