| 0:00.0 | Good morning, everyone. |
| 0:10.4 | Welcome to the Early Edge. |
| 0:11.6 | My name is Cianaj, otherwise known as the counselor of Cashin. |
| 0:15.1 | This show is brought to you by BedMGM, Make It Legendary. |
| 0:19.2 | Let's see how we did on the recap screen seven and two. |
| 0:24.3 | Mikey B, two for two. |
| 0:25.7 | Mike hits his play. |
| 0:27.1 | Chip goes two for three. |
| 0:28.6 | Tom's pick from last Wednesday, I believe. |
| 0:31.3 | That one hits as well, the first quarter minus two and a half, |
| 0:33.7 | but also he hit Malachi Tony over. |
| 0:36.0 | I mean, we did really well here. |
| 0:37.1 | EC misses his |
| 0:37.9 | parlay very narrowly because that under doesn't come in in the final minutes of the game. |
| 0:43.4 | But we will take seven and two every single time. We've just absolutely crushed the national |

It was poorly played until the greatest throw that I've ever seen. But last line, I thought was a really good |
| 1:28.3 | game. I thought, you know, both teams played well. Listen, there was a couple of plays that |
| 1:33.4 | separated the game, right? The block pump, the fourth down, the third down, the back shoulder |
| 1:39.0 | throw. So it was Mendoza who made a couple of plays when they needed it. Miami had a chance, but I'll say |
| 1:45.9 | this real quick. You don't need me to tell you that Indiana is a great story, right? But I think |
| 1:50.9 | Kirk Signetti has changed college football forever. I mean, you're seeing Penn State and Florida, |
