Plus: Marshall beat writer Tyler Kennett (HD Media/The Herald-Dispatch) joins the show to break down what's actually gone wrong for the Thundering Herd, why Del Rio Wilson has been the engine of the offense, and what it would take for Marshall to pull off the upset in Harrisonburg.

JMU is 4-0 and hasn't trailed all season after blowing out Old Dominion, and Bennett and Jack are officially bullish. They break down the advanced success-rate numbers from the win (including a wild first-quarter-to-second-quarter drop-off), debate whether this team is head and shoulders above the rest of the Sun Belt, and get into the bigger-picture conference realignment conversation that's heating up around the program.

Old Dominion is 1-3.After a 46-20 loss to JMU — the Monarchs' fifth straight loss to the Dukes — the question isn't about preseason expectations anymore.It's simple:**Now what?**Jonathan Plisco and Jarod Brown join Aaron and Mike to break down a frustrating night against JMU and, more importantly, where ODU goes from here.There was at least one major reason for optimism. Freshman quarterback Ryan Huff threw for 261 yards in his first career start and looked extremely comfortable when given a clean pocket. TJ Johnson topped 100 receiving yards, Leon Haughton made another big play in the passing game, and Nathaniel Eichner continues to look like a serious weapon.But the problems are getting harder to ignore.Nine sacks. Thirteen penalties. Continued struggles running the football. Missed assignments. Turnovers. And another game where self-inflicted mistakes made an already difficult matchup even harder.We get into:• What Ryan Huff showed in his first start• Whether ODU needs to lean much harder into the passing game• How the Monarchs clean up the penalties, protection issues and execution problems• Why leadership inside the locker room becomes critical at 1-3Then we turn the page to Georgia State.The Panthers are 3-1 and playing with confidence, but ODU has won six of seven in the series and three straight. For the Monarchs, the difference between leaving Atlanta 2-3 and falling to 1-4 feels enormous.This may be the biggest game of the season simply because ODU badly needs something positive to build on.Can the Monarchs get right in Atlanta?Drop your thoughts and your ODU vs. Georgia State score prediction below.

JMU went to Norfolk and dominated Old Dominion 46-20, extending the Dukes' win streak over Virginia opponents to 24 straight, a run that dates back to 2015. Delvin Joyce breaks down the win: nine sacks, a defense that held ODU's running game to 14 yards, four touchdown passes from Cam Coleman, and a breakout day for wide receiver Jeremiah Harrison. Then JMU Hall of Famer Vad Lee joins the show to break down Coleman's performance and the QB-receiver connection that's still developing. Plus: a full Marshall preview ahead of Saturday's home game at Bridgeforth, a "What You Talking About, Willis" on JMU's supposed conference realignment overtures, and a Take It To The House on the strange power of being unrated. In this episode: Recap of JMU's 46-20 win at Old Dominion The 9-sack defensive performance and Bam Jackson's emergence as the defense's leader Cam Coleman's four-touchdown day and the wind's role in the second-half slowdown Standout performances from Jeremiah Harrison, Cole Keller, and George Petaway Vad Lee on Coleman's pre-snap reads, the receiver timing issues, and where the QB battle stands What You Talking About, Willis: the American Conference realignment chatter Marshall preview: Carlos Del Rio-Wilson, Xavion Turner-Bradshaw, and Delvin's three key questions Take It To The House: what it means to be unrated Subscribe and hit the bell so you never miss an episode of To the House.

Featured Musician: Madison Ambush THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: The show notes, eventually.]  --------------------- 1. Iowa Preview: Defense starts at the top They shut down two bad teams and an unknown in ISU. We know they're historically good, run Cov2 and lots of Cover-6 and Cover-8. Seems like the DTs are soft and LBs are making them hold up, which should be exploitable. Cam Buffington is a young Jack Campbell. What's going on in the secondary? Lutmer emerged last year, Anthony Hawkins might be losing is job to a JMU transfer. ISU got them on the edges because the LBs were stepping down and the ISU LT got out on the LBs. 2. Iowa Preview: Offense starts at 20:11 Alex has a hard time getting a bead on these guys. Return two OL from last year's Joe Moore OL, Seth thinks all three interior OL are centers but they have a great LT (should be a G in the NFL) in Trevor Lauck. Kamari Moulton was great last year but banged up, so is transfer RB LJ Phillips. Tony Diaz has emerged as TE DJ Vonnahme has been hurt. Hank Brown: meh. Fast straight-line speed. 3. UTEP After Review starts at 42:20 Encouraging play from Bryce Underwood. Made better decisions than it looked, might be a beat late but can get to a better look. Defense: Tariq Boney was amazing, hard to learn more from the DL against this. Earls and Bracy both at fault for 1st TD. Bracy was not at fault for the 2nd TD. Weird to have a DC who just presses the "NOPE" button. Noticed another bust between Earls and Mason Curtis. 4. Roddy's (and Noland's) Eligibility, Rivals Payola, and the PCSA starts at 1:10:55 ...is what I think we are talking about this segment. Roddy wins Round 2; Round 3 is the NCAA's appeal and that's the most important. Rivals is charging $500 to come see your kid—it's gross but also they're getting in on a world that's been exploiting athletes for tens of thousands. They pay for camps already. They pay their own travel to visit and work out for schools. They pay tuition at private schools or buy houses built by boosters to go to the big programs where they'll get noticed. This isn't "you have to pay $500 or we won't look at you;" it's another option. Where it damages is the Rivals rankings. But Old Rivals got a reputation for favoring the guys who went to their camps. Featured Artist: Madison Ambush I know nothing about these guys except this sampler kicks. Also they were probably listening to Frank Marino around the same time my friends and I were. The only way I can describe it is it's from some alternate reality where hair metal got to keep developing as a music form without veering into glam or getting upended by grunge. There's so much energy here, and also so many ideas buried, especially in Stray Time Bomb, which has what I think is a guitar wail recorded backwards behind the chorus? This sampler came home with me from a 2005 trip to New York, a night I was bouncing around the music scene with a friend who was working for Atlantic (the buddy who went on to found Metalsucks) and others he knew from work, but that's all I remember about its acquisition. The back cover says they're four guys: Marc Andrew (vocals/acoustic), Joe Brannan (electric guitars/keyboard), Don Donnerund (drums), and Frank Ruso (bass), and then there's a fifth name: David Geschwendt and a fifth guy in the photo further down. It says it was recorded in Astoria, NY, but mixed in Copley, Ohio. The website is offline. The internet has one other CD by them, but Brannan is now "guitar, keyboard" and Geschwendt is replaced by a guy named Fatcat. They're here on Spotify. Songs: Versus        Good Day for a Change        Stray Time Bomb Also because Across 110th Street will get our Youtubes taken down, the opener and outro: “The Employee is Not Afraid”—Bear vs. Shark “Ruska Vodka”—Motorboat

JMU heads into conference play against Old Dominion, and Bennett and Jack break down why the Monarchs' defense is legit but their offense has been one of the worst in the Sun Belt through three weeks. They dig into the ODU quarterback situation, JMU's tendency to let teams hang around after fast starts, and answer a full mailbag on wide receiver usage, the schedule's brutal three-week Thursday stretch, and whether Cam Coleman keeps the job once JC Evans is fully healthy.

This episode has a little bit of everything. The boys start off talking about Rob's visit down to South Carolina before getting into JMU's trip out to the left coast and an impressive win over San Diego State. The guys are both pretty excited about what they saw in the game and maybe getting a little more optimistic about this season. And Todd is definitely not talking about the CFP already. They close by looking ahead to the big game at ODU and offering up their takes on a few "perfect" songs.

In this episode, Andre recaps the JMU loss and the issues within the team.

JMU picked up its first-ever win in the Pacific time zone, knocking off San Diego State on the road. Bennett and Jack break down the advanced stats — including where JMU ranks nationally on defense and offensively within the Sun Belt — debate whether this team belongs in the "Boise State of the East" tier, and dig into why JMU keeps leaving points on the board despite winning by multiple scores nearly every week.

San Diego State's 2026 football season is off to a shaky start, as the Aztecs drop a 26-13 home loss to JMU last Saturday. The boys are back to look closer at the game, the sputtering offense, and the issues plaguing their talented team.

San Diego State's 2026 football season is off to a shaky start, as the Aztecs drop a 26-13 home loss to JMU last Saturday. The boys are back to look closer at the game, the sputtering offense, and the issues plaguing their talented team.

Old Dominion had every opportunity to beat East Carolina.Instead, the Monarchs let one get away.ODU fell 20-17 to ECU, dropping to 1-2 after a frustrating second half filled with turnovers, penalties, missed opportunities and an offense still searching for consistency.Now comes JMU.The Dukes arrive in Norfolk at 3-0, winners of four straight against Old Dominion, and suddenly Saturday feels much bigger than just another game on the schedule.Aaron, Mike and Justice break down what went wrong against ECU, why the offense continues to struggle finding an identity and whether the offensive line can finally put together four consistent quarters.We also dig into Ricky Rahne's revealing postgame comments about leadership, accountability and making sure everyone is pulling in the same direction. After back-to-back losses, how this locker room responds to adversity may become one of the defining stories of the season.There were positives, too.ODU's defense once again played well enough to win. Mario Thompson, Jackson Forrest, Daevon Iles and the rest of the unit kept the Monarchs in the game while the offense struggled to capitalize.But JMU presents an entirely different challenge.The Dukes aren't necessarily overwhelming opponents with star power — they're 3-0 because they're playing sound football, limiting mistakes and winning in the margins. That's exactly where Old Dominion has struggled.So what has to change Saturday?• Protect the football• Find some rhythm offensively• Get more consistent play up front• Win on third down• Stop beating themselvesConference play starts now. ODU has lost four straight to JMU. The Monarchs are coming off back-to-back losses. And falling to 1-3 is a place nobody in Monarch Nation wants to contemplate.The talent is there. The defense is playing winning football. The offense has shown flashes.But flashes aren't enough anymore.**How does Old Dominion respond?**Drop your thoughts and your ODU vs. JMU prediction in the comments.

JMU went out to San Diego State and got a huge road win, 26-13, snapping the Aztecs' seven-game home winning streak and setting a new program record for longest regular-season road trip in JMU history. Delvin Joyce breaks down everything he learned about this team through three games — the offense, the "bend, don't break" identity of Robert Bala's defense, and what Billy Napier's coaching style is starting to look like. Then, JMU Hall of Famer Vad Lee joins the show with a bold take: even when JC Evans is healthy, he believes it's still Cam Coleman's job. Plus, a full preview of this week's rivalry matchup at Old Dominion, another edition of "What You Talking About, Willis," and a Take It To The House reflection from Delvin's whirlwind week in San Diego.

It's Week-3 and SDSU (1-1) returns home to face JMU (2-0). It's a crucial game for the Aztecs, but also the PAC-12.

JMU just set the program record for points scored, blowing out Wagner 87-3 behind a historic return day from Michael Scott, who fell just short of the school all-purpose yardage record. Bennett and Jack break down the stats, debate whether it was okay for JMU to keep running up the score late, and dig into the quarterback room drama after Arrington Maiden lit it up in relief of Cam Coleman. Then it's a hard turn to reality: undisciplined tackling, penalty issues, and what a cross-country trip and body-clock shift could mean heading into the biggest test of the season at San Diego State.

Welcome to the new week!  College football’s second week featured a few upsets and some late game rallies (nicely done, University of Texas!).  The NFL’s Week #1 finally got underway with a few surprises.  In golf, America’s best female players were defeated by Team Europe in Sunday’s Solheim Cup final matches. But first… Remember those scrolling football scores at the bottom of your TV screen? That never-ending ribbon of both college and NFL scores seems to have vanished from ESPN’s family of companies beginning this football season. Why? ESPN recently said, “By removing the BottomLine during live action, we’re creating a cleaner presentation that keeps the focus where it belongs – on the field.” Sorry, Pinocchio.  I’m not buying that one. It is my opinion that the sports giant ditched the popular score ribbon so that TV viewers would not be able to easily locate a more compelling game to watch (especially if that other game is being carried on a competitor’s network). My own Saturday night proved that point.  I watched much of the Louisiana Tech vs LSU game from Baton Rouge. LSU emerged from a narrow 10-7 halftime lead to post an easy 45-14 victory as the Tigers’ offense caught fire in the final two quarters. In years gone by, I would have been following the ESPN score ticker along the bottom of my TV screen in search of a more compelling game.  Fortunately for me, I checked in on the Ohio State vs. Texas game at the end of three quarters. The #4 Longhorns trailed by 20 points against #1 Ohio State entering the final quarter.  Texas caught fire offensively to score the game’s final 21 points and take a thrilling 24-23 win on a touchdown with just 25 seconds remaining. What is the real reason that ESPN dropped the on-screen sports ticker? Money, of course. They are trying to get viewers to stay with one football game as long as possible.  The sales teams for the ESPN family of companies has likely heard complaints from its major advertisers – especially those buying ads in the second half of games.  The network’s viewer-friendly sports ticker has accidentally created viewer defections toward more competitive match-ups. Viewers could change to watch a more compelling game being carried by a competitor such as FOX Sports, NBC, or even the CW Network.  If the self-proclaimed sports leader had not received negative feedback from its advertisers, the sports score ticker/ribbon would still be on your screen during football games. The departure of ESPN’s score ticker at the bottom of your television screen will have another desirable effect for ESPN.  Millions of frustrated viewers will visit the ESPN.com website to receive their score updates. ESPN’s website traffic will balloon on game days and, of course, represent a new advertising vehicle. But keep this in mind.  ESPN’s television advertisers may find that fans will become more likely to neglect watching their very pricey ads.  Viewers will now utilize more time during ESPN’s lengthy three-to-four minute commercial breaks to search online for other scores. I turned on ESPN and the SEC Network earlier today (Monday).  I was a bit surprised to find that (gasp!) the bottom line sport ticker was still in use on weekdays! Yes, ESPN is utilizing it primarily to, among other things, promote their own slate of shows and upcoming football games. I’m not falling for the excuse that “It’s cleaner for viewers to enjoy the game experience”. If true, why not remove it from all of your shows during the rest of the week, too? College Football – Week #2’s game of the week Fans of wrestling legend “The Undertaker” could appreciate how the Texas Longhorns came to life after nearly being pronounced dead at the start of the fourth quarter. Austin, Texas reached a scorching 101 degrees on Saturday.  The heat and the pressure finally got to #1 Ohio State late in this game.  Ohio State surrendered a 23-3 fourth quarter lead to give the rejuvenated Horns a 24-23 come from behind victory on Saturday night. Texas was able to exact a little revenge after Ohio State’s 14-7 win last season in Columbus.  Texas (2-0) just replaced the Buckeyes as #1 in the AP’s way-to-early Poll released on Monday.  Ohio State (1-1) dropped to #6. Duck hunting season began in Stillwater Saturday afternoon! As mentioned here last week, the much ballyhooed Oregon Ducks did not look like national title contenders after barely taking down Boise State in Week #1. The Ducks flew eastward to Stillwater, Oklahoma last Saturday and were attacked by swarms of Oklahoma State hunters.  OSU was embarrassed by regional rival Tulsa 24-10 in its first game.  The Cowboys came into Saturday’s match-up with Oregon having lost 21 straight games to FBS (large division) schools. Okie State dominated this game from start to finish. They rolled-up 554 yards of total offense compared to Oregon’s 281. Oklahoma State has a new head coach (Eric Morris from N. Texas) who signed dozens of his former Mean Green players from last year’s 12-2 team to join him. James Madison tied an NCAA record Sun Belt Conference member James Madison trounced Wagner from the FCS 87-3 on Saturday in Harrisonburg, Virginia.  The 84-point win erased Louisiana Tech’s 80-6 win over Northwestern State in Week #1 as the largest rout of the 2026 season. Did you know that the JMU Dukes scored three of its touchdowns on punt returns? Two came via the conventional route as Michael Scott fielded two punts and returned them for scores.  A third punt-related touchdown came after the visiting Seahawks from Staten Island, New York had a punt blocked by JMU.  The loose ball was picked-up by special teamer Michael Halbert who ran it in for a touchdown. This trifecta of touchdowns scored by James Madison off the opposing team’s punts tied an NCAA record. Southern Cal was the last FBS team to accomplish this feat in 2013. The NFL’s Week #1 featured few surprises but… If you are a fan of the Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans, or Cleveland Browns, it’s time to create an appropriate paper bag to wear while watching your team this fall. They stink – again. A Super Bowl rematch featuring Seattle and New England produced a 13-10 win for the Seahawks as Patriots’ quarterback Drake Maye tossed an ugly interception deep in Seattle territory to end the game. Minnesota Vikings new starting quarterback Kyler Murray went down in the first quarter with a concussion.  The Vikings opted to turn to veteran Carson Wentz and not former first round pick J.J. McCarthy.  This turned out to be a good move as the Vikes reeled-off 22 straight points in the final quarter to down hated rival Green Bay 39-22. Didn’t you expect the Dallas Cowboys’ defense to be a little better this year?  They were 32nd out of 32 teams last year. Alas, the visitors from Texas allowed 29 first downs and nearly 400 yards of total offense as the New York Giants claimed a 28-20 win over the Cowboys. A bigger concern for Dallas fans was the puny 244 yards of total offense generated by its highly paid offense.  The $60 million dink-passing quarterback Dak Prescott completed 22 of 34 passes for only 175 yards. The biggest surprise from Week #1 for me was the Los Angeles Rams’ 27-7 loss to NFC West rival San Francisco.  This game was played in front of 100,000 fans in Melbourne, Australia.  Los Angeles’ vaunted offense tallied just 290 total yards as the 49ers controlled this game from start to finish. The Rams have said this season is considered “Super Bowl or Bust”.  They now have a flat tire to repair after Week #1. Golf news – Europe smashed US women to reclaim the Solheim Cup Team Europe apparently took offense after USA’s Jennifer Kupcho rolled in a 93-foot birdie putt on hole #17 and then added a 25-footer on #18 Saturday to win her Solheim Cup match.  Kupcho roared “Vamos – Let’s Go!” and taunted the crowd as the day ended with the Solheim Cup matches tied at eight points apiece. The team competition was over.  Sunday’s singles matches would decide the winner. Team Europe came out Sunday wearing their “Do Not Adjust your TV Set” vibrant blue and yellow golf apparel. Thousands of Netherlands golf fans helped to try and unravel the American golfers.  Speakers around the course blared loud music much like at a LIV Golf event.  Local fans even chanted the refrain from The Beatles’ “Hey, Jude” for several minutes. It worked as Team Europe earned a 15-13 victory Sunday.  The final point which was clinched after Jennifer Kupcho of the US lost in her singles match. Europe won the Solheim Cup to honor their recently retired 39-year old Swedish team captain Anna Nordqvist.  It was the fourth European win in the past five of these biennial golf matches. The 2028 Solheim Cup comes to Louisville, Kentucky’s Valhalla Golf Club.  There will be plenty of enthusiastic American golf fans, music, and, of course, some colorful golf apparel on display. In the men’s Ryder Cup and the women’s Solheim competitions, Europe has dominated the past few decades by focusing on teamwork.  The US needs to foster more camaraderie long before these matches begin.

The Dukes absolutely destroyed Wagner by the score of 87-3 and in this episode Todd and Rob try to make sense of it. It's hard to read too much into such lopsided match-up, but the boys point out a few reasons to be excited and a few things that JMU might need to tighten up before the West Coast road trip to face San Diego State.

JMU put up a program-record 87 points on Wagner, but the real story is what happened before kickoff as starting quarterback JC Evans did not dress, and Camden Coleman stepped in for his first start since transferring in from Richmond. Delvin Joyce recaps the record-setting win, breaks down Mikey Scott's monster special teams day, and previews a tough road test at San Diego State. Then, JMU Hall of Famer Vad Lee joins the show to give a full breakdown of Cam Coleman's performance — what worked, what didn't, and what it means heading into a much tougher San Diego State defense.

SVP and Stanford Steve Coughlin recap the Texas Longhorns miracle comeback over the Ohio State Buckeyes, the Oregon Ducks' stunning defeat to Oklahoma State and more. Texas scored 21 4th quarter points en route to a program-defining comeback win. The guys break down the game from every angle, and Steve offers his takeaways from a first-person point of view as the Big Man was boots on the ground in DKR. Madness ensued earlier in the day, too, as Oklahoma State - who got wrecked by Tulsa in Week 1 - pulled off the unthinkable and knocked off Oregon, who has not looked good to start the season. What to make of Dan Lanning's group and QB Dante Moore, who struggled late against the Pokes. Michigan bounced back with a nice 17-10 win over Oklahoma in the Big House. The guys discuss what allowed the Wolverines to pickup the huge win and leave the Western Michigan fiasco a thing of the past. Additionally, Alabama blanked Kentucky 32-0 in the second half to easily get out of trouble in Lexington, Tennessee largely rolled to a stress-free road win over Georgia Tech, Mississippi State dominated Minnesota, Iowa won the CyHawk Game despite trailing early, Texas Tech held on in "mean" Corvallis, the ACC had a nice day, Steve's Big 12 prediction is looking better and better by the week, and the Dirty Terps kept vibes high in the Rent.

The only job that I can imagine UVA Football coach Tony Elliott leaving us for is the one at his alma mater, Clemson, where Elliott started his career as a walk-on, ended as a co-captain with an engineering degree, then came back to as a coach to serve as the play-caller for two national champs. I think we're now officially on Clemson Reaching Out to Our Coach Watch, after what we saw last night in Death Valley – the one down on the bayou. Also on the pod: - Norfolk State, the Week 2 opponent, hung around for a while in 31-10 loss at ODU - Virginia Tech takes care of business in opener with VMI in 73-3 win - JMU defeats Liberty, 20-13, in season opener ruled by stout D on both sides - JMUCLA: Bruins defeat Cal, 45-24, in debut for former Dukes coach Bob Chesney #football #collegefootball

In this edition of the postgame BROCast, Dave recaps UCLA's 45-24 win over California to open the Bob Chesney era. Dave breaks down what this game meant for UCLA fans, and the program, with the Bruins blowing out California and doing it with some very JMU-like elements. The main key, though, was UCLA showing fortitude and competitiveness in buckling down when it was 24-24 and outscoring Cal by 21 to end the game. He also talks about the offensive performance, including the excellent rushing attack and the one poor play at the end of the first half that nearly flipped the game in Cal's favor. He closes by talking about the defensive performance, including the excellent play from Sammy Omosigho, and the more questionable performance from the secondary. Bruin Report Online is now at On3!

In this edition of the BROCast, Dave and Tracy talk about what they learned from UCLA football media day, the latest on the Trent Hendrick recruitment, their interview with Mick Cronin, and the news that Tim Harris is evaluating UCLA athletics. We led off with a discussion of media day. It was the first time UCLA has done a media day in years, and it was a great event. We talked about some of the things we learned from talking to the players, and what we might glean from who was available. We then talked about Trent Hendrick, the former JMU linebacker, getting added to the TRO and presumably gaining eligibility for this coming season, and what factors might play into whether UCLA has a chance to get him. We switched gears to basketball to talk about our interview with Mick Cronin (Part 1 and Part 2), and some of our key takeaways from the hour and 20 minutes. Finally, we ended talking about Lakers exec Tim Harris being enlisted to evaluate UCLA Athletics by Julio Frenk, and what that could mean for the Athletic Department.
