So it's been a very different style of approach as a head coach. Is that good enough to win in this environment? I think he'll call his game – based on how his defense is playing against Will Howard and Ohio State. If they're forcing Ohio State to punt, he's going to play the way he has most of this year. Very conservative, hand it off, throw when you have to kind of approach.

If Ohio State's scoring, then you'll see Nico, who's more than capable. You know his recruiting story. Yeah. Yeah, he's a freak, but he's a freshman. So they've just been very, very careful with him. So I would say Will Howard. I know he's made some mistakes. He's cost his team in some big games. I just think because of the experience, I think there's a little bit more trust there.

But do you trust the offensive line? I don't think you can because of the injuries. Um, the Clemson Texas game again, man, it's, it's just been this.

Kevin Jennings at SMU. Yeah. He's a kid that, again, I don't know how many people listening to this or watching this that watched SMU football this year. But they started with Preston Stone, who's a little bit more traditional. And now they've got a version of a dual threat guy that they spread you out. You got to try to cover everybody. And then this guy's back there running around.

and has the ability to take off and run, has the ability to keep it alive and throw. He would be an interesting matchup for the Penn State defense. My big concern for SMU in that game is, like you would think, the line of scrimmage on both sides. I mean, Penn State, I thought, pushed Oregon around pretty well in the Big Ten championship game at the line of scrimmage. So how will SMU do it?

And I looked this morning at the forecast. All three games in Columbus, South Bend, and State College, no snow. But you're talking about in the 20s, 20 degrees. Not that it favors – and a lot of people are like, that favors Ohio State and Notre Dame and – I guess we'll see if it does. A lot of Ohio State's rosters from Georgia, North Carolina, Florida.

So I don't know how it necessarily favors these teams in the North. I guess I guess we'll see. It's been a big, big conversation point. You know, when the playoff first started, it's like teams from the north are like, it's about time those teams from the south come up here and deal with the cold weather.
