Summary
Colin is joined by college football guru Josh Pate to break down the first weekend of the college football season.
They start with Arch Manning’s extremely shaky start for Texas against Ohio State and whether his lofty expectations entering the season were far too high (3:30). They preview Oklahoma vs Michigan and debate whether Michigan’s Bryce Underwood is a generational talent at quarterback (6:45).
They move to UNC and whether Bill Belichick’s inability to recruit good personnel could lead to an underwhelming tenure at Chapel Hill (10:15), and discuss whether Kalen DeBoer’s laid back style of coaching will work at a football crazed SEC school like Alabama, living in the shadow of Nick Saban(17:15).
They highlight the resurgence of the Florida schools, particularly Miami, and debate whether the Hurricanes could be a national title contender (31:00).
Finally, they discuss the outlook for USC and whether Lincoln Riley is the type of head coach that can build a winning culture, and not just be a great scheme guy (38:00).
