Colin’s joined by college football guru Josh Pate, host of “Josh Pate’s College Football Show”.

They start with Penn State’s loss to Oregon and the unfair criticism of James Franklin and Colin argues that he’s still a top ten coach, and Josh explains why the loss was the beginning of a brand new timeline for Franklin and Penn State because their best still wasn’t good enough (4:00).

They agree Dan Lanning would be crazy to leave Oregon for another job in the south and that he can accomplish anything he wants as coach of the Ducks (8:30).

They recap their experience of being at USC @ Illinois and Colin highlights that USC was dominated physically and struggles to play smash mouth football, but Josh counters that one more year with the portal could fix it (13:00).

They discuss the huge lift for Kalen DeBoer following in Nick Saban’s footsteps, and why Alabama’s win over Georgia was one of their biggest of the past decade (24:15).

Finally, Colin lauds the addition of the transfer portal for the parity it’s created in the sport now that great bench players now start elsewhere (35:00).

Colin’s joined by John Middlekauff, host of “3 and Out” to break down all the week 4 NFL action

They start with the Chiefs blowing out the injury depleted Ravens and Colin argues that the Chiefs are in Lamar Jackson’s head, and that Chiefs DC Steve Spagnola may have Lamar figured out after years of facing him (3:30). They predict a major resurgence for the Chiefs offense as their wide receiving core returns to the field (9:00).

They move to the Giants beating the Chargers and highlight Jaxson Dart’s solid debut and Cam Skattebo bringing juice to the Giants run game (13:45). They discuss the worrying rash of injuries to the Chargers and debate whether Herbert and the run game can hold up after losing several starters (17:30).

They pivot to the Bears beating the Raiders in an ugly game after another brutal performance from Geno Smith and despite Ashton Jeanty finally breaking out and a game between two six win teams (26:00). Colin argues that the Eagles feel a bit like Kansas City where there’s something not quite right, yet they still managed to win ugly over the Bucs (33:00).

They recap the Rams beating the Colts and Colin argues the Colts are for REAL despite the loss and predicts they’ll win the AFC South (37:30). Colin calls the Steelers win over the Vikings their best in years, and their physicality was on full display today (52:45). They question the Vikings decision to let Sam Darnold walk in exchange for unproven rookie J.J. McCarthy as it’s clear the team is just a quarterback away (58:45).

They move to the Jags win over the 49ers in a game they tried to give the game away but Brock Purdy was even worse and the Niners struggled with both running the ball and injuries (1:03:30).

They pivot to college football and discuss Oregon vs. Penn State and Colin argues Dante Moore is the best quarterback in the country and that Drew Allar looked like the worst of the 4 QBs playing in the marquee games (PSU vs ORE & AL vs GA) (1:11:00). Colin recaps his experience at USC vs Illinois and explains why Illinois was clearly the better team (1:23:00).

Finally, they react to a crazy final round at the Ryder Cup and argue that the European team just has a better sense of cohesion, comradery and mental toughness than the American team (1:31:00).
