Summary
Andy reacts to Trevor Lawrence testing positive for Covid-19. What does this mean for Clemson? Who will start under center for the Tigers? The day has dawned. It's time for Ari to conquer a most vile villain, dark beer. Yes, Michigan downed Minnesota last week saving Andy from fulfilling a bet himself (1:00). The guys recap the Wolverines' victory over the Golden Gophers, and discuss what a win over P.J. Fleck's flock means for the program. Joe Milton and co. have their in-state rivals on the horizon in the Spartans (15:30). What can we expect from the matchup? Is Milton for real? Can Michigan overcome Ohio State, or are they a secondary/tertiary threat in the Big Ten? Speaking of OSU, the Buckeyes travel to Penn State for a...potentially anticlimactic conference contest (22:45)? Will the Nittany Lions drop their first two games of the season after losing last week to Indiana? Why does this bout, which is typically hyped, seen far less interesting? In SEC country, Mississippi State is at odds with Alabama in Tuscaloosa (29:45); Arkansas seeks to upset Texas A&M (31:45); Missouri-Florida is anybody's guess (35:15) and LSU looks to build off last week's 'W' against Auburn (37:30). Can Texas overcome Oklahoma State (43:30)? And from a wider lens, is Tom Herman and Texas' loss of 2022's top-rated prospect, Quinn Ewers, a symbolic loss? The guys settle on a bet for next week (58:45) before digging into their sweet Random Rankings (1:02:15)!

| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Andy. We tried to record later because we didn't want to miss any breaking news. |
| 0:14.7 | But we apparently didn't record late enough because right after Ari Watson and I finished |
| 0:20.2 | recording today's podcast, we learned |
| 0:23.9 | through the folks at the NFL network that Trevor Lawrence has tested positive for COVID-19, |
| 0:28.9 | and he's going to be out this week against Boston College, depending on when he tested |
| 0:33.2 | positive. |
| 0:33.7 | He could be out next week against Notre Dame. |
| 0:36.0 | Got a statement from Clemson head coach |
| 0:37.8 | Davosweeney. Trevor has authorized us this evening to announce that he has tested positive for COVID-19 |
| 0:42.3 | and is now in isolation. He was doing well with mild symptoms, but will not be available for this |
| 0:47.1 | week's game against Boston College. While we certainly miss Trevor, this is opportunity for other guys |
| 0:51.4 | to step up and we're excited about competing against a very good BC team on Saturday. Go Tigers. |
| 0:56.4 | What that means is get ready to be wowed by DJ Ui Ungalala. |
| 1:01.4 | This is Clemson's backup quarterback. |
| 1:03.1 | They've used him a little bit. |
| 1:04.2 | He's a freshman from California. |
| 1:06.1 | His dad was a bodyguard to the stars. |
| 1:08.7 | He is massive 64-250-250, huge arm. It's going to be scary because what |
| 1:16.3 | Clemson is going to do this week and possibly next is show you just how good the Tigers are |
| 1:22.4 | going to be for the next two years with DJ Uiunga Lalae playing quarterback. So that's the thing. This is the one team |
| 1:30.0 | that could definitely handle something like this, even if it costs Trevor Lawrence a really |
| 1:34.7 | big game in ACC play, which the Notre Dame game next week certainly would be. But DJ Uionga |
