It is the JR Sport Brief Show on the Infinity. Sports. Network. Man, we got all this baseball going on. But I'm thinking about About football.
We talked about some of these NFL games. We got the Giants and the Eagles tomorrow, but there's a big game that I'm looking forward to this week, and I wonder who's going to play. We got Texas and Oklahoma. I want to see if my Matira's going to be back. What is Arch going to do?
We got Indiana versus Oregon. We got a case of probably two Heisman. Candidates that nobody talked about at the beginning of the season. And we got new rules when it comes to the transfer window. We got a lot going on.
In college football. Joining us right now is someone who covers all things college football, collegefootballnews.com. It's Pete Fuatak. Pete, how are you, man?
Okay. Yeah, I'm not sure. There's tons going on.
Well, let me ask you this. I just mentioned John Matir. What's the latest with his hand? I know he doesn't want to miss this rivalry game. Yeah, I just want to miss the game, and you know, it's I think it's gamesmanship.
I mean, of course, you're going to say that you'd like to play, and you're going to put it out there: well, he might play, he might not play. I don't think it matters either way particularly. I think Texas probably pulls us off no matter what. But the problem's going to be it's not really Matir. It's going to be can Arch Manning handle the pressure because Oklahoma's got one of the best pass rushes in the country.
Uh and it it's Can he handle this defense and show up? And weird things happen in happen in this rivalry matchup. I think something weird's going to happen in this, but I kind of, like I said, I'm not really all that sold. that material is going to go, but even if he does, I still kind of like uh technicism anyway.
So everything that we've seen, Pete, it it's been quite a bit. You have Arch Manning.
Sometimes he looks good, sometimes he doesn't. The offensive line typically has him running for his life. How big of a factor has that been in some of his inconsistencies? I think he's just looks like a kid who's just been way overcoached. And just.
not to make mistakes. And this is kind of a I think a problem in all of The quarterbacking world right now is the idea that you just don't want to screw up, you don't want to make any mistakes, don't throw the interception. Uh and just Just again, don't make a mistake. And I think that's kind of becoming a problem. Ease just said, go out there, Arch, who cares if you throw a pick, let it rip.
I think you would see a much different player, but he hasn't He hasn't really kind of been there so far.
So and he hasn't gotten the running game to to give the support.
So this is one of those games, you know, all the arch anger that's out there can pretty much go away with one big win over Oklahoma. Pete Fuatek is here with us from collegefootballnews.com. Yeah, people will give him a break if he goes out there. And beats Oklahoma. We know that there's a big matchup as well that we'll see on CBS this weekend.
Indiana. versus the Ducks.
Okay, we got Fernando Mendoza. On the other hand, we have Dante Moore. You didn't hear anything, if much really at all about these two dudes when it comes to the Heisman race. And here they are. They look like the best two quarterbacks in college football right now.
What are your thoughts on what we can expect in this game? I think it's going to be pretty standard. The narrative's probably going to follow form with these two where Indiana plays it tough. Oregon gets the win. Oregon gets a good strong resume win and Indiana plays good enough.
Where they lose this, they probably lose at Penn State, beat everyone else, and both of these teams are in the college football playoff no matter what. The winner goes on to play for the Big Ten Championship. Uh but yeah, they both these kids are good. No, I mean India's got talent. India has As well coached as anybody in America.
But Oregon's just playing lights out right now. And I just. I I think it's it's gonna be a tough, lower scoring game. It's not gonna be a shootout. Uh but Oregon Wind And that's if they get a little breathing room late, but India certainly shows up and looks strong.
Is it realistic? Is it too early to kind of pin Mendoza and Moore as two dudes who are going to be Heisman finalists? I mean A little because I don't think anybody knows who they are.
So outside of the college football world who are really into this. They're not really household names.
So I think we still have yet to see let's see what Carson Beck does as Miami keeps going. Let's see what some of these other top quarterback Ty Simpson is Ty Simpson is starting to rip it up for Alabama. Uh I think as as we keep going on, whichever teams keep rising up to the top and keep playing well. Ohio State doesn't have that guy yet, but they're still number one.
So it's it's a bad year for the Heisman, but there are lots and lots of quarterbacks out there who are playing just well enough where On the right stage, you can see them come up with something big, but I still think we're going to have to wait another several weeks before we really start to have this Heisman thing. bust down a little bit. No, Pete, you mentioned Penn State. We know about the loss that they took to Oregon. We know about the big L that they took to UCLA.
This program is basically. It just kind of patchworked together and Penn State goes ahead and takes that L. What has gone on? Is James Franklin, is he just lost? Is Drew Aller?
Is he no longer the prospect that people thought he would be? What the hell is going on in Happy Valley? Bad day, wrong thing. I mean, look, it was a gut check performance against Oregon. That's, again, great Oregon team that could have gone either way, acceptable win in overtime.
No big deal. And they just didn't really show up for UCLA.
Okay, you know, travel across the country, here's our breather. And UCLA all of a sudden came out in like a house of fire. Nico Yala Lava. I mean, you just talked about Muller and Mendoza. Yani Lava might be the best quarterback in the Big Ten.
He just doesn't have the guys around him. But you saw why he's, you know, no one wants to say it because everyone's still mad at how things went down in Tennessee and everything. He's kind of Jaden Daniels light. I mean, he's got all the talent. Uh and he was able to finally kind of unleash it and show it off.
And even with as bad as everything went for Penn State, they still almost pulled that out.
So I'm not ready to bury Penn State yet, but they do have that game at Ohio State still to deal with. I think they come out and rock against Northwestern this week, just the kind of show that I'll Hi, this is Jill Schlesinger, CBS News business analyst, certified financial planner, and the host of the Jill on Money podcast.

Okay, we're we're still pretty good. Pete Fuatec joining us from collegefootballnews.com. We had a caller hit us up, I believe it was yesterday, about the Ohio State University. And he hit me with the hey, when are we going to get some respect? And nobody's talking about us.
I had to tell him that's a good thing. That means things are going perfectly fine. You just gotta you gotta wait. What are your thoughts on Ohio State? We know they're going to the playoff.
We know their defense is going to beat the hell out of everybody. What is your impression of that? Yeah, that poor little engine that could Ohio State for boohoo, you know, well, somebody can give us any love. Like, Ohio State fans really are the most miserable it's the most miserable fan base in all of Sport. It's just they are never happy no matter what happened I mean, they're great.
I mean, it's a great team. We'll see a little more over the coming weeks. Just, you know, they have not really been stress test. Yeah. By a high-end passing game that includes Texas at the moment, they'll be pushed a little this week.
Illinois' got a downfield passing attack. Uh but their defense is playing historically well. Uh it and it's just a team that you know, they don't you know, Jeremiah Smith hasn't quite busted out. We haven't really seen a ton out of Julian Stan yet.
So we're still kind of waiting to see the offense really bust out, but they don't need to have defense so good.
Now, we'll see how that works, man. People always got to find something to. I love it, Pete, when s when people talk about their teams. Nobody's talking about us, nobody's talking like wha what do you want people to say, to pat you on the back? Like who cares?
People are talking about Bill Belichick. That's not a positive. That's You know, I'm happy about that. It's just you're fine. You're the number one team in the country.
Oh, we're disrespected.
Okay, I think you're fine.
Well, you you mentioned Belichick. Do you think there is a. We know everything that's going on.
Now they're canceling Hulu. Projects, we got coaches on the team suspended for going out with guys and showing them around. Do you think there's a possibility that Bill Belichick at the end of the year goes Screw this, I'm going back to media. Yeah, I it could be. I mean it could It's it takes a certain skill set.
And the thing about this is if if you're a Bill Belichick and you're that age, You don't want to be around for a uh A big Uh you know, rebuild. you're not there just to sort of, you know, okay, and let's just get this together in five years, we're going to be pretty good. No, you you need to win and win now. And that you do that with lots of transfers, and it's still hard to do.
So it's not a good situation when you have all the pressure in the world that you have to win now and your team's not quite up to stuff. And the real lousy part about it is this is an easy schedule. They should be a whole lot better than they are. And they're just not getting the job done. Obviously, this has just been a painful, painful start to the season for them.
Well, you talk about how Bill Belichick needs to try to bring in talent. There's been an adjustment to the transfer portal. What the heck is going on there, Pete? It feels like they can never get it right.
Well, the problem that everyone keeps forgetting and it's kind of the the strange part about it is These guys are theoretically at least supposed to go to school. And so like you have to still you have to still sign up for classes. You still need to enroll. You still need to figure out your credits and your transfer credits and all the parts of moving on to a new school. And it's got to start on a semester basis.
So you don't want to have a bunch of transfer things happening when school is going on necessarily.
So the timing of this is. Y y you need to be a little bit of a window in there where it gives everyone time to adjust because you want the coaches to be able to know, all right, well, I don't need to go after linebackers here, I can go after these guys there. And these guys, the the actual players themselves. need a chance to, you know, sign up and get books and sweatshirts and figure out their apartments and all that kind of stuff. Do you mean to tell me these guys do work?
They go to school? Not really, but they're at least supposed to.
So at least in theory they do. Pete Fuatek here with us from CollegeFootball News.com. You know, in conclusion, I want to ask you about this. We've read that the NCA is close to letting these student athletes. A bet, but not on obviously their own sports or anything at the college level.
But on Pro Sports, do you think that even allowing them to do this opens up Pandora's box, uh you know, or is this uh a bad idea, something about nothing? I mean, they can't regulate it, and they're all doing it anyway.
So, you know, what are you going to do? I mean, it's it's It's not ideal, obviously. But instead of spending all your time trying to regulate it and sanction it, Maybe there's a way to do it where you can You can watch over it or keep some sort of tabs on. you know, how they're they're betting because Most most kids are doing it. But it's a college kid thing.
Everyone's on their phones. Everyone's doing it on all the apps. And the more Oh, there it is. the more you can hope. They're not betting on whether the kicker on XYZ state isn't betting on whether or not they're gonna win or lose by a field goal.
So you need as much transparency as possible.
So I think that's why they're going that route, as opposed to spending all their time trying to figure out every single little aspect of the betting. There's no good answer here. It's all just ripe for just all sorts of problems. But for now, I I th I think you just do it and you hope for the best. Yeah, can't wait to see what disaster comes out of this one eventually.
But you're right, you gotta let them just be free. We'll see what happens. Hey, Pete, we appreciate the time. Tell everybody where they can follow and keep up with you and everything that you do at collegefootballnews.com. All the picks, predictions, and game previews are going up there throughout the rest.
next couple days for all the another big week in college football. It's all going up over the next uh 48 hours or so. Hey, Pete, we appreciate you. We'll catch you soon down the line, okay? Hey, good talk to you.
Have it going. All the time. Thank you to Pete Fuitzak. Go ahead and check him out at College Football News. Dot com.
