The Republic of Football podcast is a must-listen for any college football fan, especially those with a particular focus on the teams in the great state of Texas. Hosted by two knowledgeable and passionate presenters, this podcast offers thoughtful analysis, entertaining discussions, and in-depth coverage of both major and smaller football programs. Whether you're a Longhorn grad or an avid supporter of a smaller school like UTSA, this podcast has something for everyone.
One of the best aspects of The Republic of Football podcast is the great content it consistently delivers. The presenters are well-informed and provide insightful analysis on everything from game recaps to player performance and coaching decisions. They dive deep into the details while also offering valuable perspective on the bigger picture of college football in Texas. It's clear that they have done their research and are dedicated to providing listeners with accurate and up-to-date information.
Furthermore, the presenters are articulate and engaging throughout each episode, making it easy to stay engaged with the content. They have a good rapport with each other, striking a balance between casual conversation and informative discussion. Their enthusiasm for the subject matter shines through, adding an extra layer of entertainment value to every episode.
However, one aspect that could be improved upon is the excessive use of certain filler phrases such as "you know," "I mean," and "again." While these phrases may help fill gaps in thoughts or transitions, they can become repetitive and distract from the otherwise compelling content being presented. Finding alternative ways to smooth out transitions or reducing reliance on these phrases would make for an even better listening experience.

The Roadrunners handled business against Incarnate Word with a boring offensive game plan and a knack for generating turnovers against an overmatched opponent. Now UTSA has to build off of their first win with a challenging road trip to face an opponent they are 0-2 against historically.

The No. 8 Texas Longhorns lined up against an opponent that should have been wildly outmatched, but instead struggled to get going on the offensive side of the ball. Quintrevion Wisner is still out with injury, CJ Baxter left on the game's first carry, and Arch Manning is still wildly inconsistent. Texas tried to hide behind the ground game to close it out, but the lack of depth hampered their efforts. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For the second straight year, Texas State looked like the better coached and more well prepared team in the I-35 rivalry. It was the Bobcats who stepped up each time a big play was needed, and never wavered in the face of adversity from the Roadrunners. Jess Loepp's secondary was torched, while the offense struggled with consistency. Where do things go from here? The answers are harder to find on the defensive end. 00:27 Texas State was the better team on the field, are they a better program now? 06:08 The Bobcats were so much more resilient in the heat of the contest 10:40 Pushing back on the narrative of the portal explaining UTSA's struggles 17:18 UTSA had some serious procedural complications on the offense 23:15 Let's be honest, this roster has some glaring holes 32:31 Special teams is a train wreck for UTSA 40:12 Highlighting positives for UTSA coming out of the loss 44:20 Previewing UIW ahead of the Hometown Showdown 55:40 UTSA's secondary will need to show improvement against a similar offense they struggled with last week 59:43 Score predictions Video: https://youtu.be/_EhCBPCf0tA Learn more about your ad choices.

You couldn't have asked for a much better start to the Scott Abell era of Rice football than what the Owls delivered on Saturday night in Cajun country. The Owls' offense looked as advertised and the defense was even better, doing just enough to knock off a team projected to contend for a Sun Belt conference championship. This win wasn't a fluke but should we be buying Rice bowl stock just yet? At least one host thinks its in the realm of possibilities.
