00:00And let's hook up with our boy again to talk some more college football.
00:04Scotty, we have crowned a national champion in college football at long last.
00:08Just an exciting postseason in college football.
00:11It's going to be seven months before we could talk about games.
00:14But I can assure you tons to talk about in the offseason from NIL, Transfer Portal,
00:21Spring Football, NFL Draft.
00:22We got a ton to talk about. Quick recap of the postseason, though.
00:26I know there were a lot of detractors, Scott.
00:28I love the playoffs opening round.
00:31We got a chance to see on campus playoff games.
00:33First time ever in the FBS quarterfinals.
00:37Epic game down in Atlanta between Arizona State and Texas.
00:41Instant classic won in overtime by the Longhorns.
00:45Two great semifinal games.
00:47And then the national championship Monday night.
00:49Overall, I thought it was an outstanding postseason.
00:52I think the 12 team playoff is a revelation for the sport.
00:56Can it get better? Absolutely.
00:57I think first step will be let's change how we seed top four seeds, automatic buys.
01:03Let's give it to the top four teams as opposed to just the top four conference champs.
01:07I know that's in discussion already.
01:09I'd like to see that next year.
01:10Now, some of the performances that really impressed me in this bowl season,
01:15I look at the bowls very differently.
01:17I want to see, you know, who's getting a jump start on 2025.
01:21Who made the most of their opportunities?
01:23I think that's one of the really interesting themes of the bowls.
01:26I got three kids for you.
01:27First off, Dazmine James, wide receiver from Arkansas.
01:3112 snaps all season.
01:33Gets an opportunity in the bowl game.
01:35Three catches, 137 yards and a touchdown.
01:37Most outstanding player for the Razorbacks in that game.
01:41And what's happening is these kids, the younger ones in particular,
01:44are using these bowl games as auditions.
01:47So Cal swoops in, makes him an offer.
01:50Now, Dazmine James is going to have more reps next year in Berkeley.
01:54Number two, Dylan Edwards, Kansas State.
01:56D.J. Giddens, he's the workhorse for Kansas State.
01:59Over 1,000 yards this year.
02:01Ops out of the bowl game.
02:03Dylan Edwards gets a shot.
02:04What does he do?
02:05Bowl record for Kansas State, 196 yards on the ground.
02:09Three touchdowns leads K-State to a comeback win over Rutgers.
02:14But for me, the biggest story in terms of individual players,
02:18remember the name, Damond Williams, Washington quarterback, true freshman,
02:22just his second all-time start.
02:24Yeah, the Huskies lost the Sun Bowl to Louisville, 35-34.
02:28But Williams threw for almost 400 yards, had four touchdowns, was phenomenal.
02:34Five-star quarterback, a kid from Arizona, Jed Fish knows quarterbacks.
02:39What I see, Scott, is a young Kyler Murray, undersized, extremely athletic.
02:44Watch the Washington Huskies next year with Damond Williams under center.
02:48I think that's going to be a very exciting offense.
02:51So great bowl season, but a lot to talk about moving forward in the offseason.
