With the changing of the landscape in college football, like people aren't sitting on the bench anymore and developing and going to certain schools.

And who do you want to be in this new world of football?

Like I want to be Indiana, Ohio State, Michigan.

Hello and welcome in. It's always college football. I'm your host Greg McElroy. We are so happy to have you here with us on a President's Day edition of Always College Football. We hope that you have the day off from work. If you do, I hope that you're enjoying sitting there on the couch and watching some college football content on the ESPN College Football YouTube page. And for those of you that are here with us via the podcast platform, if you haven't subscribed, go ahead and do that. If you want to leave us a rating, you want to leave to review, that's awesome. We are always happy to kind of dive into the big picture off-season topics with you.

February has become one of my favorite months because we can go anywhere.

We haven't started spring ball yet.

We can literally talk about anything.

So today we're going to talk about scheme.

We're going to talk about the evolution of where college football is going,

how defenses have adapted, what the offense's counter has been, and then what defenses are now doing to adapt to the offense's counter.

It's fascinating. And I think you guys will enjoy it. And it's a little in the weeds. I'm going to be honest with you. It's a little in the weeds.

But we got to go there every once in a while. Like we got to go there. It's February. We can put together a list of our top 10 cornerbacks. That's fun too. We can do that in a couple months. But we thought we would use today's show to dive into a little scheme. We also are going to have a great conversation with David Pollock. He's the host of the Seaball Get Ball podcast. You can check him out on YouTube. He does an awesome job.

He's one of my good friends. I have a ton of respect for him. We'll talk about the SEC.

We'll talk about big picture college football. I'll even ask him about some of the scheme and

adjustments that we are currently seeing from a defender's perspective in college football. So you want to make sure

you check out all of that. We are looking forward to continuing to provide tons of content

for you this offseason, multiple shows a week. So lock in here on Always College Football.

Let's kick things off today with our conversation with David Pollock.

Well, he's a college football Hall of Famer. He's the host of the Seaball Get Ball podcast. There's very few, I think, that cover the sport better than David Pollock. David, appreciate the time, my friend. How are we doing? Doing great, man. You enjoy the offseason. Do you get some downtime now? You know it's no off season here. It's nonstop.

Go, go, go.

So no, no off season whatsoever.

But I haven't really talked to you since Indiana won the national championship.
