Summary
Finally, some Big10 football that we can react to! Andy and Max Olson examine the Big10's opening slate of games. Atop the list of which matchups to cover first, the duo respond to Indiana's thrilling overtime upset over Penn State (:30). Devyn Ford realized what he had done just a moment too late. Tom Allen's gutsy two-point conversion in extra time was must-watch TV, and don't forget his emotionally charged postgame speech! Plus, what's next for the Nittany Lions with Ohio State on deck? Michigan's offense looked both competent and confident..."compfident"?... against P.J. Fleck's Golden Gophers (11:45). Greg Schiano helps Rutgers net their first conference win since 2017 by downing Michigan State (16:00). Ohio State didn't appear to skip a beat from last season, which was illustrated in their dismantling of Nebraska (19:15). A Tennessee-Alabama rap spells a wrap for the Volunteers' bid to move past .500 (22:30). LSU, TJ Finley impress in a one-sided affair over South Carolina (28:15). Good thing Andy didn't bet on Pittsburgh again, plus Travis Etienne puts a dent in the "sweet" over savory/greasy breakfast food debate (36:45). The guys blitz the ACC docket of games (37:15) before reacting to Graham Mertz's first game under center for Wisconsin (41:00), Iowa State's first conference loss (44:00) and next week's Arkansas-Texas A&M and Bama-Mississippi State contests (46:15).
