Oh, yeah. Welcome back to the latest edition of the audible presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Bruce Feldman joined as always by my colleague from the Athletics

Stuart Mandel.

We are taping this Wednesday morning.

It is a pretty packed show.

We will have a great interview with Holly Rowe, E-N's fantastic sideline reporter who is the busiest person in our

business. But before we get into Holly and we'll talk much more about the big game

Shobiyat, which is Georgia at Alabama and a lot of other things,

weirdly the upper center of college sports right now, right now, is in Las Vegas and it has very

little to do with the gambling world.

It has everything to do with the rebels. They are 3 and oh and they had a really good

season last year under Barry Odom in his first season. They ended up losing their

starting quarterback who actually wasn't even their starting quarterback at the beginning of the year

Jade and my ava it was then another quarterback who was very touted he got hurt my ava as a freshman went in played terrific

Then he left for an IIL money to go to USC where he is not starting.

They went in the portal and got Matthew Sluka who was a very productive dual threat quarterback at Holy Cross, had two terrific

seasons, ended up going there, ended up winning a pretty close battle for the starting quarterback job. They are 3 and 0.

He hasn't had great season in terms of numbers wise. He does have six touchdown passes, but...

He's a 43% passer who suddenly has like massive leverage over a team

that as of Sunday was my projected group of five playoff team. I may have to reconsider that. And also Bruce, they're also

the UNLV, this terrible football program for until last year has the fate of two Western conferences in its hands right now as we're recording this.

So you're right, epicenter of college football.
