With Week 9 on the horizon in college football, Patrick Conn and Tyler Nettuno get you set for the week with four big games of the week. It all begins in Jacksonville where the home of the Jaguars is set to host the annual World’s Largest Cocktail Party between the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs.
Patrick Conn (@patrickconncfb) and Tyler Nettuno (@tylernettuno) kick off the show with a discussion surrounding suspended Michigan assistant Connor Stalions and “hand signal gate.”
This isn’t the NCAA finding reasons to investigate the Wolverines, there is something to this sign-stealing saga going on in the Big Ten. There might be an easy solution as suggested by Nebraska’s Matt Rhule, Ohio State’s Ryan Day, and LSU’s Brian Kelly.
There are four games that take center stage on the podcast, kicking off in Jacksonville for Florida-Georgia. Do the Gators have a shot to end the longest winning streak in college football or will the Bulldogs continue their dominance over their SEC East rivals?
After the win over USC in dramatic fashion, the Utah Utes host the Oregon Ducks in Salt Lake City. Bo Nix and the Ducks are looking to keep pace at the top of the Pac-12 to hopefully get a rematch with Washington in the title game. To do so, they have to knock off a stingy Utah squad.
When it comes to BYU-Texas, it isn’t a game that will command national attention for the most part. However, there is some intrigue with Quinn Ewers missing the game due to an AC joint injury that head coach Steve Sarkisian is calling a “week-to-week” injury for the former five-star quarterback. Sark is also facing his alma mater this week, he played for the Cougars during the 1995 and 1996 seasons. Can Texas get to 7-1, which would be a first for Sark as a head coach?
The Duke Blue Devils and Louisville Cardinals are both coming off losses to ACC foes. Duke was outscored 21-0 in the fourth quarter against Florida State after quarterback Riley Leonard left with a re-injured ankle. Louisville fell through the trap door against then 1-5 Pittsburgh. Both teams have aspirations to play for the ACC title, that journey begins when these two top 25 teams lock horns on Saturday.
Patrick and Tyler round out the show with some hot-seat discussion. Brian Ferentz, Jimbo Fisher, and Sam Pittman are among the coaches who made the College Sports Wire midseason list.
