Locked On ACC - Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast - Syracuse Orange vs. Pitt Panthers: The ACC's Biggest Game This Week?

Starting point is 00:00:00 It's Miami versus Florida State Week, but I don't think that's the biggest game in the ACC this weekend.

Visit fanduel.com to get started. We will talk about the top week nine games this weekend in the ACC. We'll talk about the Florida State curse. I think it's going to live on. There was some fraud committed over the weekend. ACC players of the week, including NC State, I believe now having their quarterback. I am Alex Dono from Lockdown Caines. He is Kenton Gibbs from Lockdown Wolfpack. And okay, so obviously, Kenton, if Florida State can find a way to beat Miami on Saturday,

Starting point is 00:01:15 that would obviously turn the top of the ACC standings upside down. But the Seminoles are 21 point dogs for a reason. I think the game to me, that's the biggest one in the conference, is happening on Thursday night, between 5 and 1 Syracuse at number 19 Pitt, because I feel like Pitt's 6 and 0 record might turn into 6 and 1 this Thursday night. You know, that's very possible. I've got Pitt winning this game, but I'll tell you, that game does have a ton of relevance to the conference

Starting point is 00:01:46 because both of those teams, whether we realize it or not, are at or near the top of the conference. Right now, I'm sorry, Clemson is the only team that has a decided advantage over everybody else because they played five conferences. and they're the only ones who have played that many conference game and won a good amount of them. There are other teams that have played that many. I'm looking at you Florida State. I'm looking at you Georgia Tech.

Starting point is 00:02:09 But neither one of those teams is anywhere in that same stratosphere in terms of overall wins. So with that in mind, you're absolutely right in terms of Syracuse and Pitt. You're looking at two teams that walk into this pit to a No one conference. Syracuse to one in conference. This could go a long way to deciding some major things in the conference. and nobody's respect to Pitt right now. Pitt is the Rodney Dangerfield, not just of the ACC, but of the nation. Everybody's saying they're frauds, they've got nothing, they've beat nobody's,

Starting point is 00:02:42 they're just a no-man team in a professional stadium that ain't theirs and all that. Where are they going to do about it? What is Pitt prepared to do about the disrespect? Yeah, and I believe this is the toughest team that they will have faced so far this season, And they do have the home field advantage. So if Pitt does come away from this one victorious, I'm going to start giving them more respect. I think the reason why I'm giving Syracuse a little bit more respect right now,

Starting point is 00:03:09 Kenton is I know they have the one loss, which was not a quality loss to Stanford. I still kind of wonder how Stanford got that done. But at the same time, Syracuse has beaten already two teams on their schedule that were ranked at the time that they faced them. A nice road win against UNLV. They had a, I think it was a home win against Georgia Tech, who was ranked at the time number 21. UNLV, I think was ranked number 25 at the time when Syracuse beat them.

Starting point is 00:03:38 You know, we're both big fans of Eli Holstein, but at the same time, he still is a freshman. And Kyle McCord has that extra experience, having come from a big program like Ohio State. He's playing a lot better at Syracuse than he played at Ohio State. And Holstein, Holstein's about 360 yards behind Cam Ward for number two in ACC, passing so far. So it's just one of those things where I think it's going to be a close game. I wouldn't be shocked if Pitt wins. But I think for a team that's six and oh playing with House Money in Pitt, I think Syracuse might get it done. That's it. And I think the six point spread in Pitt's favor is probably a little bit too much. I think this should be more of a

Starting point is 00:04:15 field goal type of game. I agree. I think that I believe Syracuse covers. I believe that Pitt wins the game. Now here's the thing. I've already admitted I was wrong about Kyle McCourt. He's lightning. He's lighting the world on fire. I mean, you know, we knew about Gaston, Pena, Meeks, we knew about Allen. That group is falling. They are getting it done on a ton of levels, and that cannot be denied. But with that being said, there's something about this pit team. There's something about the way that they rallied around each other and said,

Starting point is 00:04:48 Feeble, forget everybody but us. And normally, when you say that, the first word is not forget. It's a word that rhymes with duck. but it's a moment in time for this pit team where I feel like I'm not going to bet against you until I see you have a letdown moment until I see you have a game where like, ah, there's the pit that we were all expecting because I've seen it many too many times. You've expected somebody to be a certain way, and that's just not who they are. We expected coming into this season.

Starting point is 00:05:20 Florida State was the favorite in all of their first five or six games. Quick question, Dono. many of those games did they win? Just Cal. Cal was the only, that was the only game where they've covered a spread all season or one. So we're looking at one, two, three, four, five straight

Starting point is 00:05:37 to start off where you're favored it and you lose all of them except one. And I believe what, Duke was favored against them. So I believe that the nation's finally caught on and said, all right, fraud. No more fraud alert here. But you get the point. I'm not going to hold against

Starting point is 00:05:55 pit who we thought they were. I'm going to embrace them for who they actually are. Okay. So on Saturday, and I want everyone to remember, the Pitt, Syracuse game is Thursday night, so we don't have to wait long for that one, which I love. We also have Friday night football this week, Battle of Four and Threes, Louisville, on the road at Boston College. Let's talk a little bit about number six Miami hosting Florida State on Saturday at 7 o'clock. Miami are 21 point favorites now in that game, Kenton.

Starting point is 00:06:27 And it's one of those things where on the one hand, it would not surprise me if Florida State plays their best game of the year because of the rivalry. This is one that they've circled on the calendar all season long. On the flip side, though, if Miami has the opportunity, and I'm not guaranteeing they will because all of Miami's last three games have been super close. but if Miami has the opportunity to run up the score, I don't think they'll hesitate to do that, KG, because the last time Florida State came down to Hard Rock Stadium,

Starting point is 00:07:00 they demolished the Keynes in 2022, 42, 45 to 3. And Mario Cristobal said after that game, he was asked about, oh, are you upset that they ran up the score? He said absolutely not, but someday the shoe is going to be on the other foot, he said. And that might happen on Saturday. Let me tell you something. allegedly no 3-2-1 or 1-2-3, whoever the guy he is, has fulfilled the prophecy.

Starting point is 00:07:25 He has closed the loop allegedly on what he said. I can debunk that here in a second if you'd like me to. It's a fake? It was a fake, Donald. Yeah, hold on. I got something for you here. Let me, for those who are listening to the audio version, I will read this. For those watching the video version, it's a lot of words.

Starting point is 00:07:45 You probably still prefer me read it. I'll make it easy on you. So it was a fake, Kenton. And it actually, it wasn't even Noel 321. It was somebody else who was basically saying, I will take it upon myself to eat the dog poo and break the curse. He sent a video to the Barstool Seminoles page, but the video was a fake. Let me read this statement. He says, hello, everyone.

Starting point is 00:08:11 I want to clear the air about the video posted on October 19th. Over the past few days, I have received backlash. This is a user DJ Ventura who claimed he was going to break the curse for 321-0. I received backlash for the shock and discomfort that the video brought to many people. I feel the need to clarify that the video was staged for humor and is fake. I love how he tries to take all the heat off of himself by saying the intent of the video was to bring attention to the unhoused community in Tallahassee and raise money to help. well, I hope you raise some money because, you know, you're obviously trying to divert the attention away from your own fraud. He says, I appreciate the reactions and donations to the GoFundMe.

Starting point is 00:08:55 The donations will still go towards buying winter supplies for the unhoused community. He says, I realize that my digital footprint is lasting. I never expected my tweet or the video to be believed by so many people or cause any discomfort. As many have pointed out, the video was in fact edited. and the fecal matter that was picked up was swapped with chocolate. I regret deceiving so many fans and students of Florida State. We are a strong community united over our shared love, pride, and dedication for our school. Thank you for understanding and go Knowles, he said.

Starting point is 00:09:30 I'm glad he raised money for what sounds like a worthy cause, but the football gods are not going to forgive him for that. You can't fake that. Florida State will be punished for this. I need to quote Metallica here. And it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel was just a freight train coming your way. I'm in your way. Because that's what Florida State does not have a single quarterback on the roster that has a positive or one-to-one touchdown to turnover ratio on the team.

Starting point is 00:10:05 They don't have a same one. Okay. And then you say to yourself, well, Miami's coming up, but it should get a little easier after that. I would very strongly disagree. The back half of this schedule is much tougher than the beginning half. You play Miami this week, right? The week after that, after you probably are going to get shellacked, taken to the woodshed, embarrassed a little bit.

Starting point is 00:10:29 You've got the Dirty Foot Club, also known as UNC, after that. Hey, you've got a shot. and then you're going to Notre Dame. Oh, that's going to be rough. And then you got Charles de Southern, nice little bounceback game. And somehow, somehow people are now arguing that Billy Napier may keep his job. And that DJ Lagway may save his job. Again, that soothe the light at the end of the tunnel was a freight train all along.

Starting point is 00:11:02 And we all knew that the back half of their schedule was going to be. be tougher, but at least we thought the curse would be broken by this guy doing the thing. You have been hoodwink, bamboozled, run amuck, and led astray. Because, uh, nose fans, there is no relief coming your way. Well, it may be, at least in the long term, there's going to be relief coming to NC State fans because I strongly believe the pack have found their quarterback of the future. You want to keep it locked right here. We're only getting started on this brand new episode.

Thank you so much for making this episode of Locked on ECC, your first listen and your first watch today. Make sure to make our other shows. Kenton, I'm sure he and Grayson have been talking a lot about C.J. Bailey this week. They host Locked on Wolfpack. I host Locked on Cains. All right. So Kenton, entering that fourth quarter with a 13 point deficit, C.J. Bailey, who's getting his baptism by fire, was not supposed to start games this year as a true freshman. he leads touchdown drives of 75 yards and 80 yards to ultimately win that game against Cal. He's been showing positive signs all season long. And man, is he getting a jumpstart on his second year for next year? So I love what I'm seeing.

Starting point is 00:13:53 Oh, you and me both in all of Wolfpack Nation, there has not been a time other than that last throw against Wake 4s where you would say, man, this is just unbearable ball for him. He has shown up in a major way and not, no shade to anybody else, but he has shown that he is capable and willing to let it fly. He has shown, hey, I may put the ball in harm's way at times, but damn it, I'm going to let my playmakers make some plays, which by and large has been NC State's strength all year. That past catching group has been phenomenal in almost every game.

Starting point is 00:14:31 I can't remember looking back at a game and saying, man, that group failed us at multiple points. They let us down at every point. So, you know, just the idea of I'm going to trust Wesley Grimes on 50-50 ball. I'm going to trust Joe Lee. I'm going to trust Kevin Keseepsie on. I'm going to trust these guys to do what they need to do. Welcome to Hollywood.

Starting point is 00:14:49 It is now turning it into Raleighwood Smothers. This is a good group. This is a great group of past catchers and of skilled position guys surrounding them. And they're lifting them up. They're making it easier. They're building that confidence. It's honestly so amazing to see because I was so tired of seeing these one year Reynolds come through rally. I was so tired.

Starting point is 00:15:12 First, it was Brennan Armstrong two years ago. Then it was Grace McHaw. And now it's Grace McCall. But again, I hope he recovers well. I hope whatever is going on there in terms of the concussion and all that. You know, it clears up and allows him to do whatever he feels like is best for his future going forward. But CJ has been a star and that is your quarterback going forward. And that's a nice win to get to propel you into the buy week.

Starting point is 00:15:37 So NC State has the by week. Clemson is another team on by this weekend. You know, another big game in the conference, Kenton, we hadn't touched on yet. You've got 22nd ranked SMU on the road at Duke. Now Duke, Duke is 6 and 1. You know, they're only lost coming to Georgia Tech in a relatively close game. and yet SMU, they've been really impressive this year, Kenton, but are they 11-point favorites on the road at 6-1 Duke impressive?

Starting point is 00:16:09 Is that too big of a spread? Because this is another one that I look at it. I'm like, man, I feel like SMU should win that 11.5 points actually now. I thought that would be single digits. And you know the most interesting thing about this. We talked about Pitt and Syracuse as being one of the more important games in the conference. This is also one of those games, because a combined conference record of five and one between these two teams.

Starting point is 00:16:35 SMU obviously 3 and 0, Duke 2 and 1. I want to tell you this. I think that Syracuse wins. I think that Duke covers. I think Syracuse, I'm sorry, I think that SMU wins and Duke covers. And again, y'all know how I feel about SMU. But now, Jennings has been a star. He is shown, I'm not just a guy.

Starting point is 00:16:57 I'm the guy. I am him. And the wide receiving court that we talked about before the season started in terms of SMU has the best group of returners in the conference. They're showing. They are objectively showing, hey, we are the baddest boys on the block. All we need you to do is get us the ball and get the hell out the way. However, Duke is playing swarming, swarming defense. They are all over the place.

Starting point is 00:17:18 They have a run game that kind of smothers you. It makes the game shorter because they just, they're going, they're a team that's willing to three yard in a cloud of dust you to death. And so when you see that, you're looking at a team, very serious operation there. I'm not sure if Duke has the talent, man for man to win that game. But I think they do have enough to keep it close. And I'll tell you what, what a job by Mandy Diaz? This is a career resuscitating job at Duke so far because we all thought Mani Diaz is on the rise. He's going to be a rising star in the coaching ranks.

Starting point is 00:17:50 He's going to be a guy that could be the heir apparent to some of these greats coming along. And lo and behold, you know, he goes. to Miami doesn't look like that, gets his block knocked off to some degree, and everybody's like, oh, maybe he's just a great defensive coordinator, and that's it. This is a great job by it, phenomenal. Yeah, no doubt. And we're going to find out what Duke is made up, because this is another one of those situations, the same way. If Florida State can find a way to upset Miami, you would be, you know, not knocking down the team that is, you know, tied at the top of the standings. Duke has the same opportunity because you at SMA. The fighting red last week's going to get

Starting point is 00:18:26 knocked off? The fighting red is going to get knocked off? The fighting. The fighting right lashes go get knocked on. I'm not saying that. I'm saying, I'm saying Mani Diaz has that opportunity that if we were to come out of this weekend, if Duke can pull off the home upset against SMU and if Florida State could pull off a road upset against Miami, the conference is going to be turned completely upside down. And Clemson during their by week will just be smiling down on everybody. So this is, I'm not, I'm not, and I'm, I think I'm with you. I think I see SMU winning, maybe not covering, but I see SMU winning. You know,

Starting point is 00:18:58 I do see Miami beating Florida State for so many reasons. I mean, FSU, they can't get out of their own way. You know, when they're not throwing interceptions, they are rarely throwing really good passes. They get dropped by their wide receivers, executionate. Like, Florida State's been an absolute mess. Again, I think they'll probably play their best game of the season against Miami, but I don't think it's going to be nearly enough. So I don't think I see any huge shakeups at the top of the standings,

Starting point is 00:19:25 but we've seen crazy games in college football this year. There's a reason why we play the games. And I want to talk about the players of the week when we come back. And that's more love for C.J. Bailey. It's love for Cam Ward, who had another great game for the hurricanes and so many others. You want to keep it locked right here, my friends. We're not done yet on this brand new episode of Locked on ACC. And I already know you're keeping it locked to Fan Duel.

Starting point is 00:19:52 Guys, we talk about these spreads. Is the spread too big in the SMU Duke game? Is the spread too big in the Miami Florida State game? Miami favored by three touchdowns in that one. You can check out all these numbers and place your wagers on America's number one sports book. And that's Fanduel and NFL fans.

Starting point is 00:20:56 All right. So quarterback of the week winning it for the fifth time this year. year is Miami's Cam Ward. And I, you know, he did like not, not a perfect performance. I thought he, you know, maybe missed a couple throws in the first half, but 319 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions, Kenton. So I thought it was the cleanest game. The Ward has played all season long. So, I mean, I think it was his third lowest pro football focus grade of the year, but I know, they're not always right. To the eye test, I thought it was his best game of the season. Yeah. And not only was it the best game of the season. And, you know,

Starting point is 00:21:31 according to the no turnover part of it. But it looked like he played within himself more so than any other game. Every other game, it felt like he was playing a hero ball. Like, I have to win it. I have to be the one to make this great decision and be perfect in this moment and, you know, scramble around and make some happen. In this game, he knew when it takes sacks. He knew when to say, you know what, this moment ain't necessarily it.

Starting point is 00:21:54 And I want to say there was one pass that I thought, hmm, that should have been picked off and that's it, which is great for me. Which was saved by his tight end, Elijah Arroyo, turned into a defensive back in that moment and batted it down really nicely. Yeah, and at the end of the day, I mean, that's kind of part and parcel of the gig when you have a quarterback or when you have an offense that is who they are and a defense that, with all due respect to Ruben Bain and company, they got some things they need to figure out. They got a lot to figure out on that defensive side of the ball because this team looks like a team that is playoff bound, but it looks. looks like there's going to be one game, spank that baby, put them to sleep and go on the bed because, I mean, you've got to come up with stops in the playoff to get where you want to go. And hell, even before the playoff, you've got to come up with stops to beat A Clemson, to

Starting point is 00:22:43 be they SMU, you've got to do it. And I don't think a race to 60 is the game you want to play with a lot of these teams that are going to make the playoffs. So again, Cam Ward is Cam Ward. Phenomenal. Great job. I don't give a damn what PFF said. The boy looked good to me. Yeah, and I go sign on Miami's defense, of course, you know, people who listen to Lockdown Cains know that they've had some issues.

Starting point is 00:23:07 Now, Miami actually had another player taking weekly honors, and I'm really happy for Sam Brown, Miami's receiver, because he had had some inconsistent performances, some not so good games this year. He was fantastic. Three catches, 125 yards, and a touchdown, had a 49-yard reception, had a 59-yarder where he broke, like, three tackles in Louisville's secondary on the play. So congratulate, like Sam Brown, he deserves it. But you know what's funny? Or maybe not so funny because I feel bad for this guy. The top receiver in the ACC in terms of yardage is Xavier Restrepo on Miami,

Starting point is 00:23:44 686 receiving yards this year. You know how many times he's been named ACC receiver of the week? No. Same as me. Just like, how does that happen? I mean, he's been so good. And I'm not saying he deserved it this week, but how is this? man in seven games. He's not, he's not been ACC receiver of the week even once. He's first in

Starting point is 00:24:04 yardage, second in touchdown. So I'm very surprised by that. I think the thing that happens with him is he is so good that his constants is like, hmm, that's just who he is. But also, he's had really good games. We haven't had one yet that's like, that's the Xavier's Jeffel game. We're going to look back at that game and say, when you, if you have to say, give me one game to show me the best receiver in Miami history, give me an argument for Xavier Strepo, you play this take, we haven't seen that game for them yet. And with all due respect, some of these other guys have put on that game for their teams in different weeks.

Starting point is 00:24:45 Not saying that Xavier Estrepo has never deserved it, not saying he's never had a case for it, but I'm just saying if we're looking at plausible reasons for why he hasn't won it, that could definitely be one. Now, someone who did just have their signature game was Bachel Tootin, the running back from Virginia Tech. 226 yards. Like they put Boston College into the meat grinder with the way that they played. Let me pull up some of Tutin's other stats from that game. Yeah, it was a Virginia Tech single seat.

Starting point is 00:25:17 I think I said 226. It was 266. Virginia Tech's single game record in rushing, averaged 14.8 yards. per carry. He's got 14 touchdowns this season, which is quite incredible, given that they're, what, seven games into their season. So, yeah, for Tootin, that was a signature game. We'll see, I don't know if he'll have another game that big this year, but wasn't his first great performance this season. No, Barsall Tootin, look, he looked like a man amongst boys. It looked like everybody's feet were in mud except he is. He was a pinball when they came to guys trying to tackle. And

Starting point is 00:25:55 Lord forbid in terms of could you catch him? If he was even, he was leaving. He was packing his things and saying, you know what? I've had nothing to this defense. And he did so multiple times. I mean, he carried the mail into the end zone because great job by the Virginia Tech offensive line. But at a certain point, when you're breaking off 80 yards and whatnot, it has to be you

Starting point is 00:26:16 making things happen on the second level along with some good blocking receivers. See, everybody can block it perfectly. But even then, it's 11 on 11. somebody has to be made to miss. And even after that, somebody has to have not just their ankles, but their angles broken, which was something he did regularly. He was like, oh, that defender's got an ankle. No, they don't.

Starting point is 00:26:36 No, they do not. Goodbye. See you later. And it was a big weekend for Virginia Tech in terms of weekly honors because they had two others. They had Xavier Chaplin named offensive linemen of the week. You would figure with a 266-yard rusher that somebody on the offensive line, we get it. And APR, Antoine Powell, Riland, defensive lineman. So Duke had three guys taking weekly honors. And then, you know, there are a few others, but I want to make sure we mention

Starting point is 00:27:04 ACC rookie of the week. Two straight weeks. It doesn't go to Eli Holstein. This time it goes to CJ Bailey of NC State and well-deserved. Eli Holstein is somewhere shaking, crying, and throwing up right now. I know that that's what's going on, but I want to talk about APR for a second. He had a four-sack game, right? Four, four of those things. This wasn't his first four-sac game of the season. Oh, it was. I didn't even realize. Oh, yeah, he had one earlier in the year. O'DU. He had one against O'DU. That brother can get to the quarterback like nobody's business. He can get to the quarterback. I'll tell you what. When you look at what Virginia Tech did in this

Starting point is 00:27:45 game, of course, it's a full-team effort. But every now and then, even in a full-team effort, you look and say one or two guys, you know, everybody's role can't be the star. Everybody can't star in their role, but guess what? APR and Bichal said, oh, no, we are the stars today. We are the stars. We're going to do the damn thing today. So, you know, phenomenal job by them. And, of course, CJ Baby, my boy, number 16 in your programs, number one in your hearts.

Starting point is 00:28:11 He is QB1 in Raleigh until he decides he doesn't want that job anymore or until he ages out of it. He has looked better and better each week. And that's insane to think about because you're looking at an 18-girl. You're looking at a kid that was slow dancing at virtual prom not too long ago, probably holding an iPad of his girlfriend or something like that. I don't know if they're back to doing regular or not. I don't know.

Starting point is 00:28:35 I think they're back to doing regular by now. He's not classed at 2020. My bad. My bad. Uncle little old. I don't know what the high school kids are doing. But, but, you know, young man was slow dance to that problem a few months ago,
