Summary
(00:00-25:16) – Query & Company opens on a Hump Day Wednesday with Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison discussing the decision last night by the Baltimore Ravens to part ways with John Harbaugh. Did the Colts commit to Shane Steichen too early? Could they have been a team that contacted Harbaugh’s representatives? Plus, they start setting the table for IU vs Oregon!
(25:16-38:56) – With Riley Leonard performing well in his first career NFL start, Jake and Eddie take a look back at his college success at Notre Dame and compare it to Fernando Mendoza. They highlight some things that Mendoza does well that will translate to the NFL and identify a couple of question marks they have about IU’s quarterback going to the next level.
(38:56-47:28) – The first hour of the show concludes with Jake and Eddie previewing the NFL Playoffs. They each identify a team that is entering the playoffs hot but could have a very underperforming effort, a team that could catch fire in the playoffs and make a Super Bowl run, and then who could be the sleeper winner of the big game.
(47:28-1:15:29) – The IndyStar’s Joel Erickson joins Query & Company to talk NFL & Indianapolis Colts with Jake Query. Jake and Joel have a discussion about Carlie Irsay-Gordon’s press conference from two days ago, if there are other things that she could be focusing on right now that led her to running it back, shares some thoughts on the NFL Playoffs, and evaluates if Kyler Murray or Tua Tagovailoa could be an option for the Colts if Daniel Jones is not brought back because he decides he wants to go elsewhere.
(1:09:36-1:28:16) – Brian Neubert from GoldAndBlack.com makes an appearance on the show to preview tonight’s game for the Purdue Boilermakers against the Washington Huskies. Jake asks Brian if the Boilermakers have enough depth to win when the turnaround is so tight during the Big Ten Tournament and later into the NCAA Tournament and Brian states that Purdue’s defense has dramatically improves since the blowout loss to Iowa State.
(1:28:16-1:34:47) – The second hour of the show concludes with Jake and Eddie discussing that first matchup between the Oregon Ducks and Indiana Hoosiers with Oregon missing one of the key offensive players on Friday night that had an impact in the first meeting.
(1:34:47-2:00:13) – Mike Niziolek from the Bloomington Herald Times joins Jake from Atlanta to preview Friday’s game between Indiana and Oregon. Mike explains what is different between IU and Oregon since their first matchup, assesses if there is a danger of a letdown performance after their Rose Bowl performance, and believes Oregon is a better team than Ole Miss and Miami.
(2:00:13-2:17:37) – Rhett Lewis from the Big Ten and NFL Network joins the show to give his perspective on the IU vs Oregon game on Friday night. He believes that there are going to be some challenges now for the Ducks offense being too one dimensional, highlights some things about Curt Cignetti that we haven’t seen in college football besides Nick Saban in the last 20 years, and believes that this team could be talked about as one of the best team mindset in college football history.
(2:17:37-2:23:50) – Today’s show closes out with JMV joining Jake in studio to discuss the Montreal Expos with JMV supporting the former MLB franchise. Plus, they preview what JMV’s show will look like for the next three hours!
