Summary

Fox Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt reacts to the Oregon’s huge win in the White Out at Penn State as Dan Lanning’s Ducks look primed for a National Championship run. Klatt breaks down why Penn State can bounce back from the heartbreaking loss but recommends a big change in their offense if they are going to finally win one of these big games against a marquee opponent. He then reacts to Alabama’s win in Athens as they ended the nation’s longest home winning streak with another win over Georgia. Klatt marvels at the change of this Alabama team to bounce back from the early season loss to Florida State and discusses the opportunities missed by the Bulldogs including Kirby Smart’s decision to go for it on 4th and 1 in the 4th Quarter that ultimately backfired on Georgia. Klatt then reveals his latest Top 10 and gives his reasoning for his rankings – will Georgia and Penn State stay in the Top 10 after losses? Was Ohio State’s impressive win at Washington enough to get the #1 spot? Klatt wraps up the show with thoughts on his game from Saturday as Illinois knocked off USC as time expired – giving credit to Illinois’ ability to bounce back while also discussing USC’s long-term prospects as they continue to grow under Lincoln Riley.
