This is an IHeart podcast.

All right.

Welcome to Lake Kick is live.

It is Thursday night, September 30th,

The River of Aurora, 2021.

This is certainly not National Tennessee. This is certainly not our studio. It is an undisclosed location in an exclusive late kick bunker somewhere in the state of Georgia. That's about as specific as I want to get right now. I'll talk about that a little bit more as the show goes on. But we don't have time to talk about location because the show is as always jam packed tonight the bad

news is my voice is shot we didn't even get to do a late kick extra podcast day because of that had to

save up for tonight we plan on doing a normal length show i've probably got like 15 minutes of voice

which stands to reason something's got to give here uh and we're on the road so hey a lot different

but what remains the same is is jam packed mean, we've got potentially a historic Saturday ahead. I think a lot of folks are looking out there and they're seeing sort of the undercard. We're going to touch on a lot of those games tonight. But you see the bigger matchups, the Arkansas against Georgia, the Ole Miss against Alabama, the games we already broke down. A lot of people are calling for the dog to cover. There aren't nearly as many people calling for the dog to win outright, but if that were to happen, that's really when it's game on. Like if Alabama and or Georgia lose, that's really when it's game on. So I'm going to break down some more games because we already did those around the SEC. Florida's got a big weekend. LSU and Auburn have big weekends. Texas A&M, no one's talking about the Aggies. They're all looking ahead to next week when they welcome in Bama. They got a game this Saturday at home where they are favored by a grand total of one touchdown. You may not even know who they play. We'll talk about that in just a second. Also, several other games around the nation that I don't think we've touched on nearly to the, but worry, that's what Thursday for. So we're going to touch on that. And also this whole Nick Staven Lane Kiffin dynamic, a lot of people talking about that, a lot of good writing out there about that because they play this Saturday. That's the game we'll be at, by the way. But man, I was thinking today as I was driving into, if you want to call this our studio, our studio. And there's an angle on this. I don't think anyone's picking up on. I mean, everyone talks about how it revitalized Alabama, how it really revolutionized offense there. It did all that. It saved Lane Kiffin's career. It did all that.

But that all's in the past. There's someone right now. There's a program right now that is in dire

need of what Alabama had injected into that program because in part due to Lane Kiffin. So we'll

talk about all that. Make sure you are subscribed to the YouTube channel. We were about to, man, we're rapidly closing in on 70,000 subscribers. So thank you for that and continue that momentum. All right, let's dive in here. We got to go all around the SEC. It's a big weekend in the SEC because Arkansas plays Georgia. It's a big weekend in the SEC because Ole Miss plays Bama. but we already broke those games down. If you want to see those picks, they are available, both in podcast form and on the YouTube channel. But let's talk about some of these other games coming up Saturday. I mean, it is a banner day in the SEC, so much so that they're pushing one of these games, the one we're about to open with, all the way to a nine o'clock Eastern time kickoff. That is where we begin in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. What about this

Auburn at LSU game? You know, this time last week, I was telling you, LSU's got to win at Mississippi

State. They've got to win in order for that staff to basically salvage their futures and to salvage a season.

And that sounded a little bit stark to the point, but I believed it, they got through that.

Well, now the reward is they get to come home and they get to play Auburn.

The line on this game is three and a half.

That's what LSU is favored by.

Auburn hasn't won in Baton Rouge since like the Clinton

administration. It's been a long, long time. Three and a half. What do we think of that's essentially home field. So what do we think about the fact that odds makers are telling you, we kind of think they're even teams. Have at it. Take the home field and have at it. Look at the play splits in this game. at half time, if the score is close, I want you to do something for me, and I want you to just take a look at the box score, and I want you to see how many plays have been run, not necessarily time of possession, how many plays have been run. Normally, they correlate. And keep in mind that in route to a win last week, LSU's defense was on the field, I think, 88 plays.

They had the old double snowman there. Here's my concern for LSU as we dive into this game.
