00:00It's always Drew Aller, if you ask me, that's the problem for Penn State.
00:05He throws picks.
00:06He makes mistakes.
00:09Late in games, again, he does it in this game late, across the middle, across the body.
00:15Christian Gray picks him off.
00:17Notre Dame goes 20 yards, kicks a field goal, wins the game.
00:20Bottom line is, he made the mistake that cost him a shot at a national championship.
00:25If you look at all of his big games, he throws picks left and right.
00:29Yeah, I'm not out on the warpath to bury a kid for losing a 27-24 game, like everybody is.
00:37He threw the interception at the wrong time, moments after Riley Leonard screwed up multiple times.
00:44They both did the exact same thing, right?
00:46Riley Leonard made the play when he had to, he made a couple of passes, but terrible interceptions
00:51from Riley Leonard as well, right?
00:53It was just sort of when the clock just sort of ended up.
00:58It was a terrible play, it was, but it was the same thing when Riley Leonard decided to just sail it, right?
01:05Throw it right to a Penn State Nittany line, and then he did it again after, right?
01:11No one ever thought, coming into this, that the quarterbacks were going to be the stars of the game, so to speak.
01:18It was unfortunate timing.
01:19It was a terrible pass.
01:21No one could dispute it from Owler, but it was a hell of a football game.
01:25I'm not going after him.
01:26I'm not burying him.
01:28I think people are stupid that they go, Franklin's now one in 15 against teams in the top five.
01:33It's not easy beating teams in the top five.
01:35The guy made it to the semifinal.
01:37I know we're in a modern witch hunt society now, that everybody sucks after they lose, you know what I mean?
01:44Don't draft them.
01:45I mean, if you look online right now, Drew Owler should quit playing football and just go work at Walmart.
01:50And I'll tell you what, Drew Owler's going to be a first-round draft pick in the NFL draft.
01:53He's going to be a multimillionaire, and he's going to have a hotter wife and girlfriend
01:56than 99.9% of the people that are ripping him, right?
02:00So, you know, the kid threw an interception in a tough game.
02:03It happens, but I'm not blaming him for the loss.
02:06I mean, it was a super close game, Scott.
02:09Again, 24-24 game.
02:11Both quarterbacks are making mistakes, and, you know, it was just who's going to...
02:15I said it live on the air last night, Scott.
02:17To me, it was like a...
02:20It's like a college basketball game that's, like, tied, you know what I mean, with, like, 30 seconds left.
02:26And both teams were just missing free throws.
02:29It was like, I can't believe you missed them both.
02:30We're going to lose the game because of this.
02:32And then, boom, the other team would miss with both free throws.
02:35So let's not forget, Riley Leonard did a lot of stupid things last night as well.
02:39Yeah, he made a couple of plays.
02:41He nearly gave the game away as well, Scott.
02:42So I'm not blaming Drew Owler.
02:44It was a bad pass.
02:45It was a stupid play to do.
02:47But I blame the coaching staff too, in a sense, that you got to know what plays to call.
02:52You don't want to, you know, you don't want to give it away.
02:56And at that point, both quarterbacks had given it away so much.
02:59It was like, every time Notre Dame threw the ball, you had to hold your breath.
03:03And every time Owler runs around, that was one of the reasons why I like Notre Dame.
03:06If you take Owler out of his comfort zone a little bit, I think he will kind of, he'll
03:10force things.
03:11And we saw that.
03:12I think that he's smart to go back.
03:15I've said that on the show with you and others, that I felt he wasn't ready for the NFL yet.
03:20I think another season of priming will help him immensely.
03:25I think he'll be a much better quarterback next year.
03:26No, he looks like he's 14 years old.
03:29Like you saw when he was on the sideline.
03:30He looks like a kid still.
03:31Yeah, he's nowhere near ready for the NFL.
03:34But some people thought he was.
03:36I know.
03:37I know.
03:38I know.
03:39This is the weirdest NFL draft for quarterbacks ever, Scott.
03:42Like honestly, I've never seen so many quarterbacks not want to go to the NFL.
03:46Like, you know what I mean?
03:48Normally it's like, if you have like the slightest, yeah, listen, I'm not going to get as drafted
03:53as high as, as, you know, the first round, but I'm still going to go in the third or
03:57fourth round.
03:58So I'm going to the NFL now.
04:00I think the NIL has a lot to do with it.
04:02Of course it does.
04:04If you're Carson Beck, you know, but listen, we should know most college kids, most college
04:09quarterbacks already have money.
04:12There's not a lot of poor college quarterbacks.
04:15Like there's a few, there are a lot of mostly like, if you look at the NFL, actually most
04:19of the quarterbacks are like middle-class, upper-class families.
04:23So money, you know what I mean?
04:25Like JJ McCarthy is a good example.
04:27JJ McCarthy's family wasn't rich, but money wasn't an issue for him.
04:32Wasn't like, I'm starving.
04:33My family's starving.
04:34I need to go to the NFL.
04:35You can make a football decision.
04:38And it seems now too, I think a lot of these kids know.
04:41I think it's a warning sign, Scott, almost like Carson Beck.
04:44I got to wonder, like the kid lacks confidence, obviously.
04:48You're lacking self-confidence if you want to go stay in the same spot.
04:52And I get it.
04:53Oh, I mean, I'm making $4 million or whatnot.
04:56And that's another thing too.
04:57Some of these college quarterbacks are making more money than NFL quarterbacks.
05:01What is rookie?
05:02First.
05:03Right.
05:04Much more.
