Summary
The Cover 3 crew debates the championship potential of teams who haven't won a national title since 1992. First, a review of the weekend action in spring games with a focus on McKenzie Milton's performance at Florida State and the Twitter handles on the jerseys at UCF (4:15) as well as Dennis Dodd's report that the NCAA recruiting dead period will be lifted June 1 with a look at the immediate impact on summer visits and camps (15:00). Then it's on to the big discussion of the day, first trying to define "modern era" with some history about college football's development and national growth (25:30) before diving into our lists for the next team to win its first national title since 1992, a conversation that starts with a program close to this podcast's heart (32:00).
