| 0:10.4 | The next round, presented by Bud Light, is on now. |
| 0:18.7 | All right, all right, let's spend, uh, let's go 15 good minutes with Todd Furman right here |
| 0:25.5 | and talk a little bit about the games going on. CBSports.com. Furman with us on the Alexander |
| 0:31.8 | Shinar trial attorney's hotline. What is up Todd Furman? How are you today, my friend? |
| 0:35.6 | I am doing well, gentlemen. Hopefully you guys are as well. |
| 0:38.6 | Doing fantastic. Thanks a lot. Let's get started with a big game around here, maybe the biggest of the nation, Auburn and Oklahoma. It hovered around six and a half. It jumped up to seven yesterday. What are you seeing out in Vegas on the Tigers and the Sooners? Such an interesting game because you go through what these teams have already accomplished so far this season and both of them have marquee wins. Oklahoma holding serve at home. It's about a five, five and a half point favorite against Michigan a few weeks ago when Auburn's big road win on the road against Baylor. But still plenty of questions that I think both sides have to answer. Auburn defensively, you don't love what you've seen from them from a mistackle perspective, and they're going to need to put hats on the ball carry knowing that John Mateer's legs are such an integral part of everything Oklahoma wants to do as part of their offensive attack. You do worry a little bit about Auburn's secondary, no Jay Crawford, or at least I'm going to work under the assumption that he won't be back there. And then on the flip side of things, Oklahoma's defense, every bit as good as advertised, but they've yet to face a vertical passing attack that offers some of the weapons that Auburn has at their disposal. So can Jackson Arnold, in his homecoming, be able to hit a couple of those big plays over the top and force |
| 1:44.3 | Oklahoma to try and provide a little bit more balanced defensively. If that's the case, I think Auburn has an excellent path to getting inside the number. As the number continues to leak out, the only way for me to look in this game is taking seven with the Tigers. Firm and fascinating game at the Big 12 to kick it off tomorrow morning, 11 o'clock in Salt Lake with Utah taking on Texas Tech. |
| 2:02.4 | They're combined 6 and 0. |
| 2:04.2 | There hasn't been a game closer than 25 points in those six games. But we really know nothing about either one of these teams because they haven't played anyone. I mean, Texas Tech has been completely dominant. They haven't given up a point in the first three quarters of any game. Dampier's been great for Utah. Utah minus three and a half a total of 58. |
| 2:21.7 | Where do you lean on this matchup? |
| 2:24.5 | You nailed at LT. You look at these resumes for these two teams and both of them are |
| 2:28.6 | outside my top 115 and strength of schedule. You try and figure out what is the |
| 2:33.0 | marquee victory. Is it UCLA week one that |
| 2:36.0 | really hasn't held up over time for Utah? Is it Texas Tech dismantling Oregon State last weekend? |
| 2:42.2 | I think this is where rubber meets the road. And when you look at the way the tech has kind of rebuilt |
| 2:46.0 | their roster, they may try to get big time defensive linemen a part of their transfer portal hall. |
| 2:52.6 | And it's paid dividends so far. |
| 2:54.3 | But this is the kind of game they're going to need those guys against a very talented Utah offensive line to kind of keep Devin Dampier hemmed in and not allow him to break and take up some of those explosive runs. |
| 3:04.9 | I look at Utah from a skill position standpoint and at the receiver and |
| 3:08.1 | running back position, I have some major concerns here compared to what Texas Tech has. |
| 3:13.0 | Baron Morton has been phenomenal. He's a quarterback. We knew that had a ton of talent. It was |
