00:00Hey, Scott, let's recap week nine in college football.
00:07Another great weekend of action.
00:09I've got three big winners from the past weekend.
00:12First off, Penn State.
00:14I thought they did a great job.
00:15Tough spot going to Wisconsin at night.
00:18Badgers had won three straight, dominated their last three opponents.
00:22Penn State loses their quarterback, Drew Aller, at halftime.
00:26They don't skip a beat with Bo Pribula.
00:29A great job by the coaching staff.
00:31They had the backup ready.
00:33Defense played well.
00:34So, Penn State, head of steam going into this weekend's big showdown with Ohio State.
00:40Number two, a Texas A&M.
00:43I mean, just a remarkable story.
00:45Opener, they lose to Notre Dame.
00:47New coach, Mike Gelko.
00:49This, to me, Scott, shows you, and it really is going to give a lot of offseason hope for teams that are replacing coaches.
00:55You make the right coaching move, and everything can change.
00:59I mean, this program was on life support under Jimbo Fisher.
01:03Now they've won seven straight games.
01:06Remarkable to say this, they're the last SEC team without an SEC loss.
01:12Now, they could be going into a hornet's nest at South Carolina this weekend.
01:18Shane Beamer has been a giant killer in the past.
01:21But for right now, Mike Gelko pulling Marcel Reed, the true freshman, off the bench and igniting that offense.
01:28A&M is hot.
01:30Third winner from the weekend, Boise State.
01:33They have seized control of the group of five automatic college football playoff berth.
01:38Big win in Vegas against UNLV, Ashton Jeanty, Buck 28, and a touchdown.
01:45At the same time, Navy falls to Notre Dame.
01:48So, Boise State controls its own destiny.
01:50Only lost this season, by the way, to Oregon.
01:53Now, I'm going to turn quickly my attention to the Heisman Trophy.
01:57Scott, are we overthinking this?
02:00I mean, Travis Hunter, to me, looks like clearly the best player in college football.
02:05No disrespect to Dylan Gabriel, Ashton Jeanty, Cam Ward doing a great job reinvigorating Miami.
02:12But Travis Hunter, we're talking about probably the top five wide receiver in the country and the top five cornerback.
02:20130 snaps over the weekend.
02:22Sets career highs in receptions.
02:25Career highs in passes broken up.
02:28I know it's always apples and oranges in sports, but Charles Woodson in 97 won the Heisman.
02:33Hasn't done nearly as much as Travis Hunter.
02:37Quickly, before we go, Week 10, it's all about Penn State, Ohio State, and really these coaches.
02:42James Franklin needs this win desperately.
02:45Career against top five teams.
02:471-12, 4-16 overall against Ohio State and Michigan.
02:52And for Ryan Day, struggled last week against Nebraska.
02:56He needs this game in a big, big way.
