On this show, we're all about knowing what you're putting your money on. The numbers, the matchups, the details. I want that same kind of information about the food I'm eating. That's what I love about Omaha steaks. They have nothing to hide. They tell you where the meat comes from, how it's cut, how it's aged, and what it costs. The first time I opened a box, you could see the difference right away. The marbling, the cut, the care, the quality was on another level from what I normally pick up. Real sourcing, real craft, that's protein I trust. Shop proteins you can trust at omahastakes.com. And right now during their semi-annual sale, get $25 off with orders over $149, using code BEST at checkout. That's B-E-S-T at checkout, and that's at omahastakes.com.

Happy College Football Saturday, everyone. It wasn't too disrupted by the grounding by the FAA. We'll get into those games and the line moves for all of the teams that are traveling today. And you got to ask yourself, is it an overreaction?

Or a market correction based off of the movement today? And as betters, can we go against those line moves and say, this is ridiculous. Why is San Jose State moving two and a half points as they go to Air Force today, as opposed to normally scheduled on Friday? So we'll jump back into those big moves. Just a reminder, folks, our friends from Nohoku, as I wear my Nohoku watch each and every show, are the presenting sponsor of the VSiN College Football Tailgate Show, the holiday season right around the corner. Carry the aloha spirit wherever you go this holiday season. Check out what they have to offer in all of their locations at nohoku.com.

Speaking of travel, LSU in Texas disrupted a little bit. Texas did get out late last night. That game is going to go off as scheduled at 730 Eastern tonight down at Tiger Stadium. Our guy Ian Fitzsimmons will be on the sidelines for this one. He loves LSU games at night. So we will dive into Texas LSU with Ian, but also hit on his favorite plays for the day. Let's start with Indiana and USC. And this is really a fun game. Can't wait to watch this game on so many facets. Indiana in the driver's seat to head back to the Big Ten Championship game, head back to the college football playoff for the third consecutive year. And then you've got USC. USC, everything's still out in front of them, out there for them. If they win today, they're going to be in a really good spot to make it to the college football playoff. I believe they have to win out because I don't think they can split with Indiana and UCLA. I think USC, when you look at their schedule remaining here, I believe that the Trojans at seven and two currently have to win out. I don't know if a three loft Indiana team, or excuse me, a three-lost USC team with losses to Oregon and Wisconsin. Their best win right now is Ohio State, which is a good win. Hasn't aged that well because Ohio State losing last week to Oregon. But you have Indiana today, Maryland at home next week, and then the regular season finale against UCLA. But the question I think many of us are asking heading into this game because of what we saw the last time Indiana was on the field and Josh Hoover, who has not been healthy, got benched for Grant Wilson, who will be the starting quarterback today? I mean, Kirk Signetti is not going to tell us the answer, but maybe, maybe he will. Let's hear from Kirk Signetti.

Kirk Cignetti (3:58)

Yeah, he's not on the report, you know, because there's no question that he's available to play. And, you know, he looks better than he has the previous two weeks. You know, the Michigan week, it was rough practice wise. And, you know, maybe should have gone with the other guy in hindsight.

And then Grant came in at the end of the Minnesota game, led us to three straight scoring drives at the end, you know, and the win. So, you know, we've got a plan and we'll unveil it tomorrow.

Tim Murray (4:29)

You'll unveil it tomorrow, meaning today. Will it be Hoover? Will it be Wilson? I think it will be Josh Hoover, but wouldn't be surprised if we saw Grant Wilson, who was in, what is, sixth season of college football, started at Fordham, then went to Old Dominion, and now year number two at Indiana. But Josh Hoover's got to be the guy, if he's healthy. He wasn't on the injury report. On the injury report, though, Turbo Richard out today for Indiana. Also Stephen Daly out for Indiana. And once again, just kind of going back to the earlier portion of the week, because I got asked this question a bunch and I didn't know the answer. On Wednesday night, I asked Matt Grill on VSiN Primetime, trading manager of Draft King Sportsbook, why are we seeing so much movement in this USC, Indiana line? And we all thought, well, maybe Jaden Maiava is going to pop on that injury report Wednesday night. Lo and behold, he was not on that injury report. There were rumors that maybe he got banged up at practice this week. Not the case.
