| 0:00.0 | Welcome to an emergency edition of the Andy Sapal show. |
| 0:11.7 | I know we just had one of these, but we're doing another one because Caleb Williams, Oklahoma quarterback, former number one overall recruit, which also made him the number one quarterback recruit. |
| 0:22.7 | He's in the transfer portal. |
| 0:24.9 | And this is probably the best example of the new world that we're living in in college football. |
