Head on over to YouTube and don't forget to subscribe! https://youtu.be/fKvp-XqQsMY It’s ACC preview day, but first Andy and On3’s Matt Zenitz have to discuss the news that true freshman Jaden Rashada will be the opening-day starter at quarterback for Arizona State. Yes, the same Jaden Rashada who was the subject of so much offseason NIL drama. Now, we’re finally talking about him as a football player again. (0:00-8:17) Andy starts the ACC preview with a test. Could artificial intelligence produce a better conference preview than Andy? After an AI-generated Clemson preview puts Andy’s fears to rest, he plows ahead with a more conventional conference preview. (8:18-13:30) ESPN’s Roddy Jones joins to help break down the ACC, and he and Andy start by discussing the teams not named Clemson or Florida State that could wind up playing for an ACC title (North Carolina, Pittsburgh, N.C. State). Of course, the talk eventually turns to the Tigers and the Seminoles, who are the clear favorites. Roddy also discusses Miami, Georgia Tech, Louisville and Wake Forest. This interview is brought to you by BirdDogs. Don’t even THINK about wearing cargo shorts to the games this season. Go to BirdDogs.com/Andy and enter promo code: ANDY for a FREE tech hat at checkout. (13:31-46:10) Next up is new Wake Forest starting QB Mitch Griffis, who discusses replacing Sam Hartman and being the old guy who also happens to have three years of eligibility remaining. Mitch is a massive Sopranos fan, so Andy asks this: “Who would make the better teammate: Paulie Walnuts or Christopher Moltisanti?” (46:11-59:40) Andy’s Extra Point focus on new Georgia Tech QB1 Haynes King, who will always hold a special place in Andy’s heart. (59:41-1:02:29)

Welcome to Andy Staples on 3.

0:12.4

It is ACC preview day.

0:14.1

But before we get to Roddy Jones from ESPN and Mitch Griffiths, the new starting quarterback at Wake Forest. We got to talk about

0:21.6

some news from a team that is currently in the PAC 12, but it's headed to the Big 12, about a

0:28.1

quarterback who initially committed to an ACC school and then an SEC school, but wound up at

0:34.5

the school that's in the PAC 12 that's going to the big 12. Everybody got all that?

0:38.7

Yeah.

0:39.7

I was a little confused myself.

0:41.1

But this is a name you probably know since you are diehard college football people.

0:46.3

And you followed this recruitment probably from its inception because it was one of the

0:52.4

we've ever seen.

0:54.9

And I don't know that anybody could have predicted the news that came out today.

0:59.1

Jaden Rashada is going to be Arizona State's starting quarterback week one.

1:05.8

That's the same Jaden Rashada that committed to Miami that flipped to Florida.

1:09.7

There was a $13.7 million NIL contract that had no actual real money behind it.

He then left Florida.

1:17.7

He wound up at Arizona State where we thought, oh, he's going to sit behind Drew Pine,

And Jane Rashada has won the job. The guy who broke that news on Tuesday, on three's Matt Zenitz. And Matt,
