00:00Colorado is a four and a half point road favorite now on the road in Lubbock against the upset-minded
00:08Texas Tech Red Raiders who pulled off the upset over previously undefeated Iowa State
00:14last week in Ames.
00:16Four and a half point number now Joe, lofty total at 62 and a half.
00:21Listen, we know you like to go bing, bing, bing with Joey McGuire and that program in
00:26Lubbock, but when you break down this matchup, who do you think has the edge?
00:30I'll give the edge to Texas Tech because they're playing at home and because I believe they
00:34have the more consistent rushing attack with Taj Brooks averaging 165 yards on the ground.
00:39Taj Brooks, eight straight this year in terms of 100-yard performances, he's been over his
00:44total in six of eight games, his number today is 124 and a half.
00:48We know about how the weakness was over the past couple of seasons of Colorado, giving
00:53up a buck 55 on the ground, much better than they were last year, right?
00:57But they still can't run the football consistently, 80 yards per game, and that offensive line
01:02is still a little bit of a suspect and concern.
01:05That's why I'll give the edge to Joey McGuire and Texas Tech.
01:08We've seen the line go from three and a half to four and a half.
01:12I'll take the extra point, but I'll just say this, and we talk about Colorado.
01:16They did what they had to do, become ball eligible, there's progression.
01:20Now you have your eye on the Big 12 Championship.
01:22Once you get that, then you can worry about the college football playoff.
01:26Everything is in front of them.
01:27He's done a fantastic job.
01:28Three and one on the road, and they've won those games, Kev, by an average margin of
01:3224.3 points per game.
01:34I can't wait to see how this plays out, but give me the Red Raiders.
01:37I'm very excited to watch the game.
01:39I demand, though, all breakdowns cease and we just shower this team in praise because
01:47people, I don't care.
01:49People circle this program, ready to attack them and tear them down.
01:53Yes, I know that ESPN throws them in primetime every time, and Mark Jones goes wilder.
01:59Yeah, guess what?
02:00Mark Jones crushes those games, quite frankly, all right?
02:02And the Kings miss him when he's not there, breaking down DeMar DeRozan, giving people
02:06buckets, okay?
02:07I understand that, but everybody else is, this team's not good.
02:11They lost to Nebraska.
02:12They're not good.
02:13I'll bet any amount of money people think they're good.
02:14First of all, nobody thought they were good.
02:16The win total was barely bowl eligible, and here they already are.
02:20And you could sit and talk about the Big 12 shortcomings, to which there are many.
02:24Oklahoma State, embarrassing.
02:27Gundy again, should be on the hottest seat in the country, yet somehow might stay there
02:31for another decade.
02:32Utah, a mess.
02:33Kansas, all of these expectations, they have two wins.
02:38But that then means that for Colorado, we cannot poke at the schedule.
02:43No, they kept their heads above water.
02:45They have continuously found a way, and they've found a way doing it in ways that we didn't
02:50think would be possible.
02:51Yes, Joe, the Texas Tech rush attack is 10 times better, because Dodge Bricks is a star.
02:55Colorado has a rush attack this year?
02:57Since when?
02:59Colorado's defense is arguably better than their offense.
03:02What?
03:03How's it possible?
03:04How in the world is that possible?
03:06Their remaining four games, they will be booked as a favorite in all four of them.
03:11I don't know if they're going to win all four of them.
03:13If Deion wins 10 games, he might leave at the end of the year.
03:17They should still build a statue in Boulder.
03:19And what a cheddar next to him and Travis Hunter on the other side.
03:23This is outrageous.
03:25Colorado, the buffs, we only talked about them because Deion was here.
03:31Joe, they're 20th in the CFP's initial rankings.
03:35That's how good of a job he's done.
03:36He's done a great job, and we said, what was the mindset of Deion Sanders, right?
03:42You have four wins last year.
03:45Did you want to stay with the program?
03:46If you wanted to stay with the program, you know, big picture, two, three, four years
03:50down the road, you had to become bowl eligible and show progression.
03:54He's absolutely done that.
03:55He's brought talent in.
03:56Travis Hunter, Chedor, now they're going to be out the door.
04:00But they get to 10 wins.
04:01You set the foundation moving forward.
04:04Your first year in the Big 12 after leaving, this is a dynamic performance for them.
04:10He might be national coach of the year.
04:11It's probably Cignetti and that war machine, but Deion's right there.
04:16As he should.
04:17He got them two-bowl eligible in a full season for the first time in a very long time in
04:23Boulder, Colorado.
