00:05thanks to mark ryan who filled in the last few days uh i was losing my voice last weekend
00:10did the show monday gator i know you knew i was kind of struggling a little bit had a sore
00:16throat
00:16the sore throat is gone this cough is lingering man i it absolutely sucks yeah that's the last
00:22part to go yep well hopefully here it's getting better as the day goes on let's just say that
00:28uh but i'm out here bourbon helps bourbon bourbon should have brought some bourbon to the stadium
00:33actually what's interesting is where i'm doing the show from is the visiting radio booth
00:37here at out and the view is amazing the facilities here are incredible the the indoor facility they're
00:44building is off in the distance for people watching on twitch and youtube i don't know if you can see
00:50the construction off in the distance to my left but it is massive absolutely massive
00:58and it's going to have a giant o you know the oregon o whatever that font is that o is
01:04going to be
01:04essentially the roof with glass in the middle so it's going to you know let in natural light
01:11um but the facilities here are incredible i was getting a ride over here and somebody from
01:19the oregon athletic department helped help me get into the stadium and we were talking about it and
01:24they're like yep uncle phil's been really good to us phil night and nike yeah uh i was going to
01:29say
01:30if you uh do you plan on taking some laps around the uh the land that uh steve prefontaine used
01:36to
01:36run on that track yeah so that track star from the 70s i believe it's on the other side of
01:42the river
01:42um because there's a river that runs through the middle of campus and we're on the north side most of
01:47the classrooms and i think that track is is uh on the south side of the river but the stadium
01:52is
01:52beautiful you know people watching on twitch and youtube um kind of showing we got soccer and off
01:58to my right i see soccer and baseball and uh i got the football stadium down below and uh it's
02:04just
02:04it's really really a beautiful place and treat it's unfortunately it's raining but it's pacific
02:09northwest so that's all it's supposed to do that you know it's it's i mentioned steve prefontaine
02:14people don't know he was a a distance runner at oregon and the best in the world and they actually
02:21made two movies about steve prefontaine they came out within a couple years of each other if i'm not
02:27mistaken and i watched both of them having no expectations and i thought both were great i was
02:35like how am i watching a movie about a long distance runner that i've never heard of and you know
02:39my
02:39own ignorance for not knowing who he was because apparently he was amazing um but that was uh
02:45it was i was surprised at that and it's also shows a little bit of the the beginning of of
02:50nike because
02:51they were making cleats or running shoes specifically for for prefontaine and it was his coach bill
02:57bowerman that was making them and he had ties with uh with the guys that started nike so it was
03:01really
03:02interesting how that whole thing took place so oregon six and three back-to-back wins over ranked
03:08teams northwestern ohio state they fired their offensive coordinator jay johnson took over he'd
03:13been the offensive coordinator in michigan state uh previously and it's made a difference tell me if
03:18that sounds familiar michigan fans are hoping but dan lanning was under pretty heavy criticism a couple
03:24weeks ago calls for his job they've gotten beat by illinois they lost a tough one to ucla now given
03:30they had just lost donte moore the quarterback uh and and then they you know lose the game to
03:36ucla right away um and then they the loss to illinois was tough for them to take too and that's
03:43where
03:43people started losing their mind about what's going on here and you know then they find out donte moore's
03:47not going to play the rest of the season they're going to shut him down but these back-to-back
03:51games
03:51they've looked good and dylan rayola has figured things out um they needed to figure something out at the
03:57end of that northwestern league remember he was benched actually they had gone with another
04:01quarterback yeah uh and then they brought rayola back in there and he starts to figure some things
04:07out throwing very short passes and then starts to feel a little bit leads them to the victory
04:11and then they get down against ohio state 14 to nothing and then quickly reel off 38 unanswered
04:17points it was really impressive what they did to to ohio state at ohio state charles davis on the
04:26broadcast last week said that dan lanning was doing the best coaching job of his career
04:30two weeks ago people were calling for his job it's just crazy how how it is but yeah rayola
04:36veteran quarterback uh has some turnover issues and did fumble against northwestern but but was able
04:43to fall on it but had some unreal throws for touchdowns against northwestern yeah against ohio state
04:50and i'll just say this this decorian more kid is like the pacific time zones jeremiah smith he is
04:57really really good their wide receiver number one he's the one who had the the one-handed catch last
05:01week stuck that left hand up in the air and pulled it out of the out of the sky so
05:06right now seven
05:08touchdowns on the year and they're uh and the thing about rayola is he he's not afraid to take chances
05:12oh no he'll he likes throwing ball downfield and and you can get rewarded for that kyle winningham
05:19desperately needs dan lanning's last two weeks he needs to do what dan lanning has done the last two
05:27weeks which is beat two ranked teams and if they're going to do it it's going to be because of
05:32michigan's
05:32defense and it's going to be because the offense doesn't turn the ball over and that that that you
05:38know has it has to start there don't turn it over and their defense has to play the way they've
05:43been
05:43playing well the thing i i preach for for all season long with michigan what i expect to see
05:48them do they they still haven't done it and that is make the commitment to the run while utilizing
05:54running backs out of the backfield they're utilizing the tight end because those are going to be your
05:58best friends close to the line of scrimmage you don't have the the offensive line that's strong
06:02enough to give you all the time in the world to wait for the receivers to get open um and
06:07you do
06:07have a really good receiver uh without question and jj b can and uh and marsh is good too but
06:13you got to take advantage of the small stuff and and i wonder if this change getting rid of the
06:19offensive coordinator handing the keys over to the offensive line coach okay he knows his line better
06:25than anybody else he knows what they can succeed with and and what what they have struggles with so
06:30are they going to play to the strengths we'll see and does that mean that that actually both
06:35quarterbacks get a chance because is this like starting anew or is this like tommy gets this
06:39week and then we'll figure things out afterwards well you're you're right about harding in terms of
06:45he needs to call plays to his offensive line strength which feels to me like it's got to be
06:50downhill running blowing off the football less of the rpo pitter patter stuff at the line of scrimmage
06:56just knock some people on their asses or try to knock some people on their asses and then qb run
07:02feels to me like it's a big part of the game plan watch aiden aiden chiles and the success he
07:07had
07:07against this oregon defense he did a lot with his feet so it's uh michigan in desperate need of an
07:16upset win meanwhile michigan state's got washington coming in what are your thoughts on that well so
07:20this is a big game for the spartans because they need to validate what they did in ann arbor last
07:25week i
07:25mean it was a a complete effort for the spartans look they didn't score a touchdown in the game
07:30but they had five scoring drives and they looked good marching the ball down the field when they
07:34had to they i mean ate up huge chunks of time the time of possession was insane in their favor
07:39uh and and they held michigan scoreless for the first 58 minutes of the game so there's a lot to
07:46like from the spartans but they got to build off that they can't just sit there and say hey
07:49we beat michigan our season's over whoo we we won no you got three games left uh you have a
07:56it's an outside shot you got to win all three of them to to become bowl eligible and it ain't
08:00going to be easy because you know washington is one of these teams it's very tricky they've
08:05struggled this year but they've had some issues with the quarterback being hurt is he coming back
08:09he looks he was he's listed as questionable this week and if williams comes back that's going to
08:13present some problems because you know washington is they're a decent football team when he's healthy
08:18and ready to go but michigan state is playing with confidence right now and that's big for them
08:23they might get ben roberts back which is surprising because didn't think that was going to happen he's
08:28listed as questionable on the injury report but they've also lost guys vaught the safety who has
08:33emerged this year and become a real nice player for him you know he's out for this game and we'll
08:37see
08:37who else is out but it's more about who can play because michigan state has had to deal with injuries
08:43all season long and it just keep mounting and mounting and mounting and they keep adding other players
08:47to the mix that are hungry to do the job can they get the job done again they're back home
08:52i imagine
08:53a reception they're going to get at spartan stadium tomorrow afternoon is going to be a real warm
08:57one from that crowd because they're really proud of what they did last week and they've got some hope
09:01now that this thing is going the right direction but doug they got to validate it yep and washington's
09:08kind of a jekyll and hyde team um so you don't know what you're going to get in the huskies
09:12and you know
09:16they've they've they've got talent um washington does our quarterback williams can be a problem but
09:22he's been inconsistent he's been banged up too so 248-539-9797 it's karshen anderson by the way
09:29being out here at the birthplace of nike are you a fan of what oregon does with their uniforms
09:35you like you like changing them up every week i like that there's a school that does that i don't
09:39want all schools to do that i like that they do it uh i think it's kind of cool what
09:44kind of the
09:46combinations that they have uh and they can go with it feels like it's just a an endless scheme
09:52which is which is kind of cool and i think a lot of schools do that michigan state has a
09:55bunch of
09:56different combinations that go with but but oregon's that though that's the innovator of it right
10:00kang do you like it do you like what oregon does i love what oregon does i love their uniforms
10:04this
10:05weekend too i mean i'm kind of with you gator like not every school because i love college football
10:10and college sports to me a lot of it is about tradition and their tradition is they've taken on as
10:14they
10:14change their uniforms they go outrageous you may not like it but they put it out there they don't
10:19care and some other traditions are this is what we wear all the time i mean it's like notre dame
10:24even
10:24though other schools have expanded a little bit even michigan you know the winged helmet you know
10:28notre dame's helmet you know alabama's helmet those i love those traditions as well so i think oregon's
10:33tradition if you want to say is yeah different uniforms every week i like it 248-539-9797 i got
10:40a question
10:40just i'm curious outside of your own team michigan and michigan state fans or any other fans outside
10:47of your own team who's got the best uniforms in college football 248-539-9797 oregon one thing that
10:56stands out about them is definitely their uniforms but week to week they change that is their thing
11:02but outside of your favorite team who's got this feels like a college football blitz question but what
11:08the hell who's got the best uniforms in college football coming up at 12 35 a eugene edition
11:14of are you going to eat that it's carson anderson here on 97 one
