You have got some difference makers up front loaded with all those skill players and just a confidence that you can do whatever you need to do to take apart that defense on the other side. Hello and welcome to always college football.

It is officially December 18th and we appreciate you coming to us from

wherever it is you're coming to us from. That's the podcast platforms,

Apple Spotify, whatever podcast platform you use. If you're here with us via the

ESPN YouTube channel, we greatly appreciate you being here leading up to the holiday season. We're a week away from Christmas and the gifts keep on coming here in the college football world.

Our calendar is a disaster, but it does offer some really entertaining conversation.

So today we're going to break down the portal.

We're going to break down what Chip Kelly had to say,

leading up to his bowl game there in LA, a lot of very interesting takeaways to be

had from what the head coach of the UCLA Bruins said. I think there's some things I

very much agree with. I think he is definitely accurately forecasting where we're going as a sport, but a few things that I didn't totally get on board with as well. So we'll discuss that as well. We'll talk a little bit about some of the teams that are making a huge

splash in the portal we've done up to this point we talk mostly about players

individuals that are potentially on the move well today we're going to break down

five or six maybe seven teams they've done a really good job up to this point.

And then we will tell you about the new defensive coordinator for the Penn State Nittney Alliance.

Very interesting hire and a very good hire, I might add for James Franklin and staff. That's now two that I think they've knocked out of the park at least up to this point.

We're going to kick off today's show by talking with Brock Heward about the Washington Huskies.

The last couple of weeks, we've taken a day to go deep in the weeds for each of the four playoff teams.

Last week we did Michigan and Alabama. This week we will do

Washington and Texas. So we brought on Brock Heward who knows the Huskies like

the back of his hands so we'll get things started there in our conversation with Brock

Heward.
