RUNDOWN

 

(352) is Gainesville, Florida — home of the University of Florida. They reflect on Petty’s legendary catalog, from “American Girl” to “Free Fallin’,” his Beatles-inspired path to music, and his legacy in Gators football culture. Mitch and Hotshot recap the Seahawks’ nail-biting win in Glendale, where a late Jason Meyers field goal sealed the victory to move Seattle to 3–1. They turn to the Huskies’ tough loss against Ohio State, noting costly penalties and red-zone failures that made the final score more lopsided than the game felt.

The Mariners closed the regular season with a sweep at the hands of the Dodgers but secured the No. 2 seed at 90–72. Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas join Mitch to debate whether the late skid matters, the state of the bullpen (Bazardo vs. Brash in high-leverage spots, Munoz’s control issues), and the playoff rotation order. They also spar over Cal Raleigh’s MVP case against Aaron Judge and whether Seattle should prefer Cleveland or Detroit in the ALDS.

The Seahawks dominated for three quarters in Arizona before letting the Cardinals storm back with 17 unanswered points, needing Jason Myers’ last-second field goal to escape with a win. The No-Table crew weighs Sam Darnold’s poise, Mike Macdonald’s conservative late-game decisions, the defense’s lapses, and the ongoing questions with the run game and offensive line.

Mitch welcomes CBS Sports’ Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, for his weekly whip-around of the college football world. They break down Washington’s missed opportunities against Ohio State, Alabama’s statement win at Georgia, and why depth in the trenches separates contenders from pretenders. Rick also weighs in on Penn State’s playoff chances, Miami–Florida State as a marquee matchup, and hands out his Chicken Caesar Taco awards before making his Week 6 pick.
