" However what I'm -- I'm joined by foxsports.com college football analyst Patrick apathy it's bad joke. While for -- comes -- always fantastic variety just."
" The color of the pageantry and everybody out there are going after it get an -- springs eternal. Maybe happy I have fever why because I was so excited I was running hot fired up fired. Indeed for your -- my throat artwork for the -- Jets brought you do that."
" I have to throw that out there that position -- talk about the freshman phenom Matt Barkley right now is he got off to a slow start actually nor talk about what a great -- up to a slow start against -- San -- Nothing's wrong the trojans turn things on against. The spartans so how would you rate Barkley performs. Well --"
" They have to look at what USC did with him and what kind of position the trojans put -- the football game that put Matt Barkley at a position. To succeed now I give Matt Barkley and eight plus because. Even Bob -- snaps he called all the plays he didn't get any delay of games he didn't freak out up arrogant and throw up on the football -- do everything like that and it for a true freshman of the coliseum -- about -- it down that tunnel. I think he was fantastic and the trojans did such a great job and -- play caller Jeremy Bates who came over from the Broncos. Did such a fantastic job. Putting him in a position to succeed Matt Barkley didn't throw the ball out of the other -- was thrown it away and that's a good thing this is akin to throw a lot of interceptions because he's got a great arm we talked about it last week Matt Barkley also -- On the run most of the time basically always on the ball outside the hash marks with somebody running along or stationary target movement place play action they -- such a fantastic job with -- they put him in a great position to succeed. And he had a touchdown pass which is the first of many and no interceptions so I thought Matt Barkley looked great against Ohio State he is going to have to drop back in the pocket he is going to have to fend off. Packers and people like that -- at the push up in -- pocket and get rid of that football so he's going to be challenged in Columbus but as far as San Jose state starting that first game. Getting his feet wet I thought he did a great job -- Matt Barkley and I thought Matt Barkley did a great job for them. Really protected within their play college structure and humanly plus they plus Clark. Didn't call or something he threw the ball what am -- delighted past is any good luck on that I'd like it plausible."
" didn't take any big hit however. Another guy did Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford Foster hit against BYU. The good news though. We're going to be up two to four week well I hope will help salt they did lose the game though. And that's going to hurt the sooners but as you look at the B yes and how things progress probably better for them to lose now than -- later."
" Well of course summit it's always better to lose early especially when your team like Oklahoma because that you get on a rotten -- you have Idaho State before Tulsa. You've got to go to Miami and Miami's a much improved football team that played at least against Florida State. At a very high level and at Baylor no -- and the big Texas -- but it Oklahoma does get rolling start getting some victories and they get Bradford back. They beat Texas Texas was arrested -- of Oklahoma has a real shots Oklahoma is not out of best by any stretch but. The Bradford situation really did you could easily against BYU was a scrappy team they always play with a chip on their shoulder and deal with -- Ohio State trying -- BYU. Very tough draw in the first week of the season because they have all their depth and they're really ready to play and they're always very angry they play by their own rules. In Provo Utah but this kid Landry Jones just did not seem ready to back up and Oklahoma just did not seem ready for the -- A responsibility of being the starting quarterback for the sooners are going to have to get him ready he could have an easy time against Idaho State and Tulsa but Oklahoma has been hurt by injuries now and they have got to regroup they're well coached team under Bob stoops and losing early is better than losing late. Tech or Oklahoma. I'd take Texas right down the big twelve if I look at it anybody to get to the championship game for backup."
" Archie got the schedule here so if he comes back into four. -- look what that's five weeks from now they're playing tech yeah that's perfect ball how does that work buddies."
" Al going to be rusty are going to be unsure we don't know if he's going to be gunshot because the shoulders gonna be hurt. A lot of question marks surrounding Sam Bradford right now and his -- should be Paramount on the mind of coach stoops and everybody in Norman Oklahoma this is a kid who came back to audit the football program and now he's -- position where he can be hurt by the football program. If they push about their -- early because his futures play football the NFL they've got to be very mindful of what they do with Sam Bradford."
" I'll talk about another team in the big twelve Colorado buffaloes. Last year after their season that there are. Big banquet to train -- brought their head coach Dan Hawkins told everybody predicted that you know what guys. We're going to have a great season actually we're gonna win at least ten games -- Spread out terrific. Can't wait for the things -- What are they do opening day they lose the Colorado they don't."
" Run over by Colorado State Colorado State was fantastic coach for our job really has Colorado State -- so what what's going to happen to Colorado is a question actually I take it away ten games while. I'm not really sure this is a very interesting and awkward I guess is the best way to put it situation in Colorado there's two quarterbacks you have Cody Hawkins the line. A coach Hawkins now that's a little awkward anyway and then you have the backup Tyler Hansen who's a guy who's a double threat. No one's seen him yet so obviously is the most popular guy in boulder because this guy. Hansen can really run and can really throw on the practice field well they came out today and said well we decided to redshirt. -- in three weeks ago because Tony was getting booed against Colorado State Cody Hawkins does not have a big -- Then he's not very athletic and he has not been very accurate so. What do you go Cody Hawkins out there or not we're not going to say nepotism or anything like Beckett that's not fair to coach rocket. He's a great coach and he deserves better than that but there's a lot of people in -- right now shrugging their shoulders about. What is happening under coach Hawkins in Colorado what are your future what are they going to be and your redshirt in. The backup quarterback when the starters getting booed why is he being redshirt and why don't you give him -- opportunity to play. Dick in only if if Cody gets injured is if I had to get to -- the -- so. Really awkward situation developing. In boulder right now they don't have play makers on the perimeter they're running backs just don't seem to have any punch to get down a football field. Defensively they were not strong against the run and at Colorado State run the ball at them again. Not a BS conference school so this is very interesting to the other hoping he's going to play -- keep but I Colorado because it could get pretty ugly as the season goes on. Because he got a coach and I'm playing quarterback. I know that this is not what's going on but. It looked a certain way up you know I don't looks a certain way added up that's people while Hawkins that is definitely the -- he's been hot seat of those -- can't -- the -- kids getting -- out there and it's not his -- have a hard time protected but at the same time. He's bits of some pretty easy throws. He's not very athletic so we can't get away from acts -- Mavericks also gets a lot of balls -- and a lot of his interceptions have come off to a ball all. Just a tough situation all around."
" And those at Texas -- hate the fact that Oklahoma and Colorado having these problems right now certainly got their happy Beatles got a smile on his face right now he -- and I have a -- a bit 'cause I got -- when you always wonderful to be together -- Thanks for being here -- accused -- don't forget foxsports.com. Is your one stop shop brought here. College football needs perpetual Babbitt and I'm Randy Sparage. -- look at him."
