Summary

Rich previews the return of Lamar Jackson from his hamstring injury and says what’s at stake for the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins on Thursday Night Football to kick off Week 9, and weighs in on JJ McCarthy’s return as the Vikings’ QB1 and lays out what’s at stake for Minnesota’s playoff hopes and the Michigan alum’s future as an NFL starter. Oregon head coach Dan Lanning and Rich discuss his humble coaching beginnings and the motivational approach that has made the Ducks a perennial national title contender, how NIL and the Transfer Portal have changed college football and if leaving Eugene would ever cross his mind, reveals what he learned from last season’s early exit from the College Football Playoff, and why he’s always rooting for his former players in the NFL even when they’re playing his beloved Kansas City Chiefs.
