Hey, hey, hey, what's going on everybody welcome into breaking the huddle this week lots

0:16.0

to get into in college football. Obviously this show as always is brought to you by

0:20.8

Dr. Pepper. It is the one fans deserve. I am Joel clat tons to get into top 10 coming

0:27.4

but not right away. That's going to come later in the show. Iowa head coach Kirk

0:31.0

Ferenc. He's going to join us later in the show. But first folks biggest news of the

0:35.8

week Clay Hilton out at USC. Mike Bonley athletic director has fired Clay Hilton after
