Hour Two of the Good Morning Football Podcast begins with hosts Jamie Erdahl, Kyle Brandt, Manti Te’o, and Isaac Rochell examine the AFC Playoff Picture. Big Deal or No Big Deal - Sam Darnold’s 4 INT game vs. Rams? Myles Garrett chasing sack records? Kyle Brandt takes listener phone calls!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
RUNDOWN We're in a foul mood after the Seahawks' ugly loss to the Rams, unpacking Sam Darnold's four-interception stinker, the looming backlash from "I told you so" Darnold haters, and the gut-punch of Gray Zabel's injury. Mitch unleashes a full-on rant about Greg Olsen's broadcast style ("constant blabber"), while Scott notes how different the offense looks without Tory Horton on the field. The mood finally lifts with the news that the Mariners have locked up Josh Naylor on a five-year extension, giving Seattle fans a much-needed jolt of optimism. And then some baseball outrage: Cal Raleigh narrowly finishes second in AL MVP to Aaron Judge. Mitch is joined by Brady Henderson (ESPN) and Jacson Bevens (Cigar Thoughts) to break down the Seahawks' 21–19 loss to the Rams — a game that somehow stayed close despite four interceptions from Sam Darnold and a red-zone drought. Brady calls it Darnold's first true "stinker" as a Seahawk, noting that none of the INTs were flukes, while Jacson credits a defense that "played its balls off" despite brutal field position. The trio discuss the seriousness of rookie guard Gray Zabel's knee injury, the need for Kubiak to scheme around an unstable interior line, and Darnold's growing turnover trend (now 14 on the year). Mitch welcomes back CBS College Football Analyst Rick Neuheisel, presented by Taco Time Northwest, to unpack a chaotic Week 12 in college football — starting with Rick's victory lap on his perfectly predicted Penn State cover. From there, the guys dive into a jam-packed headline wheel: Lane Kiffin's status as the hottest name on the coaching carousel (and why Rick believes he'll land at Florida), Georgia's dominance over Texas, Oklahoma's big win in Tuscaloosa, Texas A&M's shocking 30–3 comeback, and the SEC's suddenly muddled playoff picture. Mitch revisits Episode Zero — the never-meant-to-be-public "exhibition game" that quietly launched Mitch Unfiltered back in 2018. What begins as a joke about their faux–"Fool in the Rain" theme song turns into a hilarious, chaotic retelling of the infamous team-bus-fire in Auburn, complete with blown tires, smoke pouring into the cabin, players stampeding into a ditch, and the bus erupting in flames seconds after everyone escaped.

TJ Lateef's first game as a starting QB was excellent----he really didn't look rattled at any time, and led 4 TD scoring drives, plus the impressive drive to close the game out. 13/15 passing , 205 yards, 3 TDs (no INTs or fumbles); 5 carries, 31 yards You can't say after one game that he's the guy of the future---what you can say is that he goes to Penn State and wins and is a big reason why and they beat Iowa as well…then it HAS to get interesting at that spot. That's drama that should be welcomed.

The baseball and football chaos nearly overshadowed it, but the NBA returned last Tuesday with two strong Western Conference matchups. We dive into: What we're most excited to see this NBA season Initial reactions to the gambling scandal that broke on opening night Early storylines worth watching The Miami Dolphins, having won just one of their previous seven games, went into Atlanta and smashed the Falcons 34–10 behind a four-touchdown performance from Tua Tagovailoa — easily his best game of the year. We discuss: Whether the Dolphins still plan to clean house this offseason If Tua has done enough to keep the starting job Whether the Falcons made a mistake drafting Michael Penix Jr. as their franchise QB Fun Fact: Michael Penix Jr. ranks 30th in passing touchdowns this season (5 TDs), has 1,409 yards and 3 INTs, and sits 24th in passing yards. A quick mid-show moment where Nick checks in with a topic that needs immediate attention. The Baltimore Ravens pulled off a season-saving upset at home, taking down the red-hot Chicago Bears 30–16 and snapping their four-game win streak. We break down: What this win means for the Ravens' playoff and division hopes A midseason evaluation of Caleb Williams in Year 2 Why his production has dipped since Week 6 Fun Fact: Caleb Williams hasn't thrown a touchdown since Week 6.

In this episode of [Podcast Name], we break down Penn State's heartbreaking 25-24 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes at Kinnick Stadium—the Nittany Lions' fourth straight defeat in Iowa City by five points or fewer. Join us as we dissect how the defense, ranked 71st against the run, crumbled in the second half, giving up massive chunks on the ground including a game-changing 67-yard scamper by Iowa QB Mark Gronowski that set up the winning touchdown. Iowa racked up 245 rushing yards at 7.4 yards per carry, exposing ongoing vulnerabilities that have plagued PSU in recent games. We also dive into the two-QB system deployed in the absence of starter Drew Allar, with redshirt freshman Ethan Grunkemeyer getting the nod (15/28 for 93 yards, but two costly INTs) and backup Jaxon Smolik rotating in for key scrambles and option plays— a strategy reminiscent of last season's approach but one that couldn't seal the deal. Plus, the latest on Penn State's head coaching search following James Franklin's firing: Interim coach Terry Smith dropped his debut, but he's emerging as a candidate himself. We discuss top names like Nebraska's Matt Rhule (the early favorite), Texas A&M's Mike Elko, and dark horses such as Alabama's Kalen DeBoer and Missouri's Eli Drinkwitz, as the search enters its second week with no clear frontrunner yet. Tune in for expert analysis, fan reactions, and what this means for Penn State with Ohio State and Indiana looming after the BYE week. We also answer your fan questions!

Ohio State vs Illinois Pregame Show Ohio State enters the game undefeated (5‑0, 2‑0 Big Ten) with a dominant defense allowing only ~5 points per game on average, and an offense led by QB Julian Sayin, wideouts Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate, and running back Bo Jackson. Illinois, ranked No. 17 (5‑1, 2‑1), leans heavily on senior quarterback Luke Altmyer (12 TDs, 0 INTs) and receiver Hank Beatty, but their defense has been inconsistent, especially against the pass.Analysts overwhelmingly favor Ohio State, usually by ~14–15 points, predicting their strong defense and overall depth to be decisive.

Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! In a stunning intra-division swap, the Cincinnati Bengals acquired veteran quarterback Joe Flacco from the Cleveland Browns on October 7, 2025—the first trade between the AFC North rivals since the Browns' 1999 return. The deal cost Cincinnati a 2026 fifth-round pick, while netting them Flacco and a 2026 sixth-rounder from Detroit. This move comes amid a quarterback quandary: franchise star Joe Burrow has been sidelined since Week 2 with turf toe, projected to miss at least eight weeks, leaving the Bengals (2-3) mired in a three-game skid. Backup Jake Browning's tenure has been disastrous, with eight interceptions against six touchdowns, tanking an offense that ranks last in yards (228.6 per game) and fourth-worst in scoring (17.0 points). Weapons like Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins have been neutralized, as Browning's 64.5% completion rate and turnover woes have stifled Cincinnati's explosiveness. Coach Zac Taylor, noncommittal post a 37-24 loss to Detroit, signaled urgency ahead of Thursday's clash with Pittsburgh. Flacco, 40 and an 18-year vet, steps in as the presumptive starter, released backups Brett Rypien and Mike White to clear space. Why Flacco? His 2023 Comeback Player of the Year magic—leading the Browns to the playoffs—lingers, despite a rocky 2025 (1-3, 58.1% completion, 815 yards, 2 TDs, 6 INTs). Benchings for rookie Dillon Gabriel made him expendable in Cleveland, where Deshaun Watson's Achilles recovery looms. Flacco's AFC North savvy shines: 11 career wins over the Steelers, a Week 3 Browns victory versus Green Bay (Cincinnati's Week 6 foe). His under-center snaps could revive play-action, contrasting Taylor's shotgun-heavy scheme tailored for Burrow. Skeptics question Flacco's arm fading, but at a bargain price, it's low-risk salvation. A 5-4 stretch under Flacco could position the Bengals at 7-7 for Burrow's potential December return, vaulting them into the playoff mix in a muddled division (Steelers lead at 3-1). Chase tweeted excitement: "Old heads know how to win." If Flacco channels his Super Bowl grit, this trade could rewrite Cincinnati's season from farce to redemption. Otherwise, it's another Bengals heartbreak in a rivalry-rich North. Packers vs. Bengals: Week 6 PreviewThe Green Bay Packers (2-1-1) host the reeling Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) at Lambeau Field on Sunday, Oct. 12, at 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Coming off a Week 5 bye, Green Bay enters as a 14.5-point favorite, with the total at 46.5. azcentral.com This Lambeau clash pits a rested Packers squad against a Bengals team desperate for stability after Joe Burrow's season-ending Grade 3 turf toe surgery. espn.com Key Storylines: Cincinnati's offense has cratered without Burrow, ranking last in success rate (36.1%) and allowing the third-most passing yards (1,295). sharpfootballanalysis.com Veteran Joe Flacco, acquired midweek from Cleveland, makes his Bengals debut, but faces a Packers secondary yielding just 205.8 passing yards per game (11th-fewest). bengals.com Green Bay's Jordan Love, fresh off torching Dallas for 319 yards in a 40-40 tie, should exploit Cincy's porous pass defense (27th in pressure rate). si.com RB Josh Jacobs (76.4 PFF grade) bolsters the run game, while rookie WR Matthew Golden adds explosiveness. bengals.com Bengals WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins could test CB Nate Hobbs (concussion protocol, limited). acmepackingcompany.com Injuries: Bengals are decimated—Burrow out three months, S Geno Stone (calf on IR), G Cordell Volson (shoulder IR). espn.com Packers: DT Devonte Wyatt (knee DNP), OT Anthony Belton (ankle DNP), G Aaron Banks (groin doubtful), TE Tucker Kraft (questionable), T Zach Tom (questionable). packers.com WR Jayden Reed remains on IR (foot/collarbone).

Bobby Burton, Rod Babers, and Gerry Hamilton went all-in on today's massive showdown in Gainesville between Texas and Florida. The vibes? Confident but cautious—Texas has the edge, but the Swamp and the weather are big equalizers. Florida's Offense = Struggling Mightily QB DJ Lagway has 6 INTs already—5 on third-and-long, and most from clean pockets. Florida is 1-for-27 on third-and-7+ this season. Brutal. WR deep-ball production? Dead last in college football. Lagway is just 1-for-7 on 20+ yard throws. Texas Defensive Edge Rod and Gerry agreed: win early downs and force Florida into 3rd-and-long nightmares. Expect simulated pressures, disguised looks, and DBs feasting on predictable throws. Burke, Simmons, and Vasek off the edge vs. Florida's shaky tackles is a mismatch Texas must exploit. Special Teams X-Factor Rain and gusty winds up to 30 mph could flip this into a punter's duel. Texas WR/returner Ryan Niblett's decision-making will be crucial—field punts or let them go? A wet grass field means fewer bounces, so every choice matters. Texas kicker Mason Shipley remains perfect, while Florida's kicker has already missed three FGs this season. Score Predictions: Gerry: Texas 23–17 (tough 4Q battle, Shipley wins it late). Rod: Texas 24–10 (Longhorns' defense dominates, Florida offense never finds rhythm). Bobby: Texas 20–14 (ugly slugfest, but Texas survives). SEC Slate Talk: Vandy vs. Bama: Rod thinks Vandy keeps it close, Gerry and Bobby say Bama covers. Kentucky vs. Georgia: Straight-up talent mismatch—Dogs roll. Mississippi State vs. A&M: Panel split, but all agree it's a huge pivot game for the Aggies' playoff hopes. Miami vs. Florida State: Both Rod and Gerry love Miami's O-line/D-line combo to win in the trenches. The crew wrapped by reminding fans about the Texas tailgate in Gainesville (biggest on campus!) and all-day On Texas Football programming. Bottom line? Texas has the better team, but they need to handle the weather, the Swamp, and a desperate Gator squad. Hook ‘em!
Off The Bench is back weekdays from 10a to 11a followed by The Stone Shields Show from 11a to noon! The Cincinnati Bengals (2-2) host the Detroit Lions (3-1) at Paycor Stadium on Sunday, October 5, 2025, in a 4:25 p.m. ET FOX showdown—America's Game of the Week. With Joe Burrow sidelined by injury, backup Jake Browning steps up amid a Bengals offense averaging a league-worst 19.3 points and 205 yards per game. Last week's 3-point dud in Denver exposed their woes: just 159 total yards and nine first downs. Defensively, they're porous, allowing 30+ points in three of four contests. Ja'Marr Chase remains elite, but Cincy's 2-2 ATS mark as underdogs screams fragility. Home cooking offers slim hope—they score 31 at Paycor but concede 27. Detroit roars in on a three-game heater, leading the NFL with 34.2 points and 365 yards per game. Jared Goff's precision (9 TDs, 2 INTs) fuels a balanced attack, with Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery gashing defenses (top-10 rush duo). New OC John Morton adds wrinkles to Dan Campbell's gritty scheme. The Lions' D, allowing 317 yards nightly, thrives in chaos. They're 3-1 ATS on the road lately, and experts peg a 75% win probability. Odds: Lions -10.5, total 47.5. Simulations favor a tight 25-24 Detroit squeaker, but most see a rout. For Bengals fans, it's survival mode; for Lions, a statement en route to contention. The 2025 MLB Division Series explode into action Saturday, October 4, pitting powerhouses against wild-card warriors in best-of-five thrillers. In the AL, powerhouse Toronto Blue Jays (1 seed) host the surging New York Yankees (WC), where Aaron Judge's bat clashes with Toronto's deep rotation led by Kevin Gausman. Meanwhile, Seattle Mariners (2 seed) face gritty Detroit Tigers, with Tarik Skubal's 14-K wild-card gem eyeing a repeat against Seattle's ace Luis Castillo—expect pitching duels in the Emerald City.

Rod Babers and Jeff Howe broke down one of the most fascinating storylines of Texas' season—the rise of 12 personnel (one back, two tight ends) in Steve Sarkisian's offense—and why it could be a game-changer against Florida. Historic Usage: Against San Jose State, Texas unleashed its most impressive 12 personnel package in years—five tight ends played, four were targeted, and the Horns averaged 22 yards per attempt and 12 yards per play out of that grouping. Then, versus Sam Houston State, Texas lined up in 12 personnel over 60% of the time, the highest of Sark's tenure. Why It Works Now: Injuries at RB and WR forced Sark to lean into his tight end depth. With guys like Jordan Washington and Jack Endries, Texas can block, stretch the field, and attack seams against two-high safety shells that are so common in today's defenses. As Rod put it: Sark weaponizes surpluses—if he's loaded at a position, he'll maximize it. NFL Inspiration: The trend mirrors the NFL, where 12 personnel usage is at its highest since 2007. Sark's shift could be partly necessity, partly evolution, and partly inspired by pro football strategy—forcing defenses into tough choices between base sets (vulnerable to pass) or nickel/dime (vulnerable to run). Run Game Reality Check: Texas' run defense is elite (No. 1 in SEC in rush yards allowed, five straight opponents under 100 yards, including Ohio State twice). But the Longhorns' own run game lacks explosiveness—just three 20+ yard runs all year, and none by RBs. Florida's run game is somehow even worse (No. 106 nationally), despite returning O-line talent. The Gators' guards and tackles have some of the worst blown block percentages in the SEC, crippling their consistency. The QB Factor: Florida QB DJ Lagway has been a disaster from clean pockets—five INTs, bottom-10 nationally in turnover-worthy plays. Teams sit back in coverage, dare him to read defenses, and he hasn't delivered. Jeff Howe called him “a way more fascinating story than Arch Manning” this year because of his struggles. Key Matchup Saturday: Both Texas and Florida can stop the run. Neither has been explosive on the ground. The game could hinge on which team finds that one or two big rushing plays that change field position and scoring opportunities. Rod and Jeff wrapped by highlighting that Texas' evolution into a “hybrid spread with power tight end sets” might be exactly what Sark envisioned years ago—and the Florida game is a perfect test of whether it's just necessity…or the future of Texas football.
