Podcast appearances and mentions of Nick Marsh

Indiana football is 2-0 and closes out its nonconference schedule against Western Kentucky on Saturday at Memorial Stadium. In this CrimsonCast preview, Galen Clavio breaks down the statistical mismatch, what Indiana still needs to improve before Big Ten play, Josh Hoover's early efficiency, the Hoosiers' increasingly dangerous rushing attack, and the uncertainty surrounding Stephen Daley and Kellen Wyatt.The episode opens with the ongoing eligibility situation involving Daley and Wyatt. Their temporary restraining order covered Indiana's first two games, but their status for Western Kentucky remained unresolved when this episode was recorded. Galen explains the court situation, which also involves IU basketball player Sam Alexis and volleyball player Avery Tatum, and why Indiana is still waiting for clarity.Then it is time for the matchup itself. Western Kentucky has endured a difficult start, including a 70-20 loss at Georgia, and the early statistical profiles show a major gap between the Hilltoppers and the defending national champions. Galen digs into Indiana's advanced numbers and identifies one area he would especially like to see improve: creating more consistent push in the running game against an FBS defensive front.The offensive numbers are already encouraging. Josh Hoover is completing more than 70 percent of his passes with eight touchdowns and no interceptions, putting his early efficiency in the same neighborhood as Kurtis Rourke and Fernando Mendoza. Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr. have developed into a productive two-back attack in the absence of Khobie Martin, while Indiana is averaging more than five-and-a-half yards per rush as a team.At receiver, Charlie Becker has been absurdly efficient, producing five touchdowns on only seven receptions, while Nick Marsh is averaging more than 20 yards per catch. Galen also looks at Tyler Morris, Shazz Preston, and Davion Chandler, and why Indiana's combination of receiver depth, blocking demands, and different skill sets gives the offense so many options.The episode also checks Indiana's updated FPI win probabilities for the rest of the season, including Northwestern, Nebraska, Michigan, USC, Washington, Ohio State, and Purdue.Finally, Galen covers the Saturday gameday forecast — including a hot 4 p.m. kickoff, IU's updated water-bottle policy, Parents Weekend ticket demand, and tailgating conditions — before identifying the Western Kentucky players to watch, including quarterbacks Rodney Tisdale Jr. and Brock Glenn and running back A.J. Allen.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast, Indiana football, IU athletics, Big Ten football, and Hoosiers coverage throughout the 2026 season.

Indiana football is 2-0 and turns next to Western Kentucky, but this CrimsonCast episode is really about what the Hoosiers have learned so far — and what they still haven't been tested on. Galen Clavio is joined again by Hoosier Network reporters Andrew Garrison and Brooks White to break down the Howard win, Indiana's improving run game and defensive front, Josh Hoover's mobility, injury questions, and what matters against the Hilltoppers.The biggest positive from Howard was Indiana's ability to get the running game back on track. Even without Khobie Martin, the Hoosiers leaned effectively on Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr., while Josh Hoover's passing volume stayed remarkably low. The group discusses how that rushing success opens up the RPO game and gives Indiana a much more flexible offensive foundation heading toward Big Ten play.The defense also took a major step forward. After a quieter opener against North Texas, Indiana produced five sacks and 12 tackles for loss against Howard. The conversation gets into the depth of Bryant Haines' defensive line, the emergence of more contributors, and why this group still has a chance to become the disruptive unit many expected before the season.Injuries remain one of the bigger questions. A.J. Harris, Jamari Sharpe, Nico Radicic, and others have all dealt with issues, raising the question of whether Indiana should prioritize rest or use Western Kentucky as an opportunity to get key players valuable reps before conference play. Galen also asks about Nick Marsh, who did not start against Howard despite eventually playing and scoring.Another major topic is Hoover's mobility. He may not run like Fernando Mendoza, but the Howard game showed that Hoover can escape pressure, move laterally, buy time, and turn negative situations into manageable ones. The bigger unanswered question is what happens when Indiana's pass protection faces a real Big Ten-level front.The show closes with a Western Kentucky preview. The Hilltoppers have struggled badly through the opening weeks, and the matchup looks very different from the tight IU-WKU games of the recent past. The real goal for Indiana may be less about running up the score and more about getting cleaner reps, building chemistry, and preparing for the tougher stretch ahead.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast, Indiana football, IU athletics, Big Ten football, and Hoosier Network coverage all season long.

Indiana football is 1-0, ranked higher than expected, and getting ready for game two against Howard. In this CrimsonCast episode, Galen Clavio is joined by Hoosier Network reporters Andrew Garrison and Brooks White to talk through IU's 52-16 win over North Texas, the Hoosiers' rise in the AP poll, injury concerns, and what to watch Saturday at Memorial Stadium.The conversation starts with Indiana moving from No. 6 to No. 5 after the opener — a small but interesting sign of the program's new national respect. Galen, Andrew, and Brooks discuss why the early AP poll still needs to be taken with a huge grain of salt, how voters treated Oregon after its opener, and why Indiana's brand perception feels different than it used to.From there, the show turns back to the North Texas game. Josh Hoover looked sharp in his first start, throwing four touchdowns on only 16 attempts, while Indiana's short fields and strong return game helped shape the offensive numbers. The crew also digs into Hoover's growing list of options, including Nick Marsh, Charlie Becker, Davion Chandler, and Brock Schott, and why the passing game already looks deeper than expected.The biggest concerns come from the injury report. Khobie Martin is expected to miss time, which puts more pressure on Turbo Richard and Lee Beebe Jr. in the running back room. The cornerback injuries to A.J. Harris and Jamari Sharpe are also worth watching, especially for a secondary already replacing D'Angelo Ponds and still trying to settle into its 2026 identity.The final segment looks ahead to Howard. The matchup may not offer a full scouting test, but it should give Indiana a chance to clean up defensive run fits, evaluate the cornerback depth, get more reps for the defensive tackles, and continue building chemistry in the tight end room. For a defending national champion, this is a week less about proving greatness and more about avoiding bad habits, sharpening execution, and getting more players ready before the schedule stiffens.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast coverage of Indiana football, IU athletics, the Hoosiers, Big Ten football, and the 2026 college football season.

Indiana football opened its 2026 season with a 52-16 win over North Texas, and CrimsonCast is here to break down what mattered beyond the final score. Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield recap Josh Hoover's IU debut, Nick Marsh's first touchdown, the Hoosiers' explosive passing game, defensive concerns, and the gameday experience at a brutally hot Memorial Stadium.The episode starts with the conditions, because they were impossible to ignore. The noon kickoff turned Memorial Stadium into a furnace, and Galen and Scott talk about the heat, fan experience, player safety, and whether early-season college football needs to rethink some of these late-August and early-September kickoff windows.From there, the football conversation begins with the new Hoosier Game Day Lager “smooth and refreshing moment of the game.” Scott picks Marsh's opening touchdown catch, while Galen highlights Hoover's entire performance — especially the now-iconic bloody-face sequence that instantly gave Indiana fans a visual of their new quarterback's toughness and command.The drive-chart discussion tells two stories at once. Indiana's offense was wildly efficient, scoring 52 points on only 46 plays, while North Texas deserves credit for extending drives and keeping the IU defense on the field. Tayven Jackson played better than expected in his return to Bloomington, and Neil Brown's staff used tempo, formations, rollouts, and misdirection to test Indiana's defense in ways that should be useful for Bryant Haines and the staff moving forward.The biggest concern coming out of the game is the defense. Galen and Scott discuss tackling, edge containment, interior gaps, injuries to A.J. Harris and Jamari Sharpe, and why Indiana looked less synchronized than it did late last season. The point is not panic — it is that the Hoosiers have clear teaching tape before the schedule gets tougher.Offensively, though, there was a lot to like. Hoover looked comfortable, decisive, and accurate. Charlie Becker, Nick Marsh, Tyler Morris, Davion Chandler, and Brock Schott all showed why Indiana's passing game may be more explosive than last year's version. The running game was less dominant statistically, but North Texas was selling out to stop it, and a long Lee Beebe Jr. touchdown was erased by a questionable holding call. The bigger concern is Khobie Martin's injury and how that changes the running back rotation.The show wraps with Memorial Stadium reaction — including the national championship display, student-section energy, concourse problems, traffic, parking, and cell-signal issues — before turning to the wider Big Ten weekend. Galen and Scott discuss Michigan's controversial escape against Western Michigan, Oregon's shaky opener against Boise State, Dante Moore concerns, Ohio State context, UCLA's fourth-quarter surge, and where Indiana fits after Week 1.Subscribe to the Back Home Network for more CrimsonCast coverage of Indiana football, IU athletics, Curt Cignetti, the Hoosiers, Big Ten football, and the 2026 college football season.

Galen Clavio hosts a live CrimsonCast preview as Indiana football gets ready to open the 2026 season against North Texas at Memorial Stadium.This is not a normal opener. Indiana enters the season as the reigning Big Ten champion and national champion, and Galen starts by talking through what it means to finally move from the afterglow of 2025 into the first real evaluation point of 2026. The Hoosiers are still carrying the memories of a perfect season, but now the question becomes what this team actually looks like once the ball is kicked.A major early theme is avoiding assumptions. Indiana started slowly in each of Curt Cignetti's first two openers, against FIU and Old Dominion, before eventually finding its rhythm. Galen argues that a slower start against North Texas would not necessarily be cause for panic, especially given the unusual nature of a Week 1 game against a rebuilt opponent. At the same time, there are real things IU fans should want to see: sharp execution, clean communication, physicality, and evidence that the new pieces are fitting together.The North Texas side of the preview centers on just how much the Mean Green have changed. After Eric Morris left for Oklahoma State, the roster was rebuilt almost from scratch, leaving Indiana with an opponent that is difficult to evaluate from last year's numbers. Former IU quarterback Tayven Jackson returns to Bloomington as the North Texas starter, and Galen talks through what Indiana fans remember from Jackson's time with the Hoosiers, what he brings as a passer, and why this could be an extremely difficult matchup against Bryant Haines' defense.The other key North Texas offensive name is Jaheim White, who gives the Mean Green a proven running back option. But beyond Jackson and White, Galen sees major questions: an offensive line full of transfers who have not played together, a receiving corps without much proven production, and a system that may still be searching for identity. Against an Indiana front seven led by players like Tyrique Tucker, Mario Landino, Tobias Nsonwu, and Chiddi Obiazor, that is a tough place to start.On the Indiana offensive side, the main storyline is Josh Hoover. Galen talks through what he wants to see from Hoover in his first game as IU's starting quarterback, how the relationship with Tino Sunseri could matter on the sideline, and why Indiana may not need to ask Hoover to carry the whole offense right away. Ideally, the Hoosiers build a lead, get Hoover a clean debut, and create enough space to see Grant Wilson and possibly other backup pieces later in the game.The running game is another major watch point. Galen expects Indiana to rotate heavily among Turbo Richard, Khobie Martin, and Lee Beebe Jr., with the offensive line asked to establish physical control against a North Texas defense that has not played together. He also raises the tight end question, where Brock Schott may be the most intriguing passing-game option, but Andrew Barker could have a major early role because of what he offers as a blocker.The preview also gets practical. Galen spends time on weather, heat, crowd flow, stadium entry, water bottles, tailgate security, and the reality that a packed Memorial Stadium will require fans to get inside earlier than usual. He also announces the first CrimsonCast Dog of the Week.The final segment zooms out to the season-long questions that matter most. Who replaces the leadership of players like Fernando Mendoza, Pat Coogan, and Aiden Fisher? Can players like Nick Marsh, Charlie Becker, Tyler Morris, and Hoover grow into the right roles? How does the team handle injuries and conditioning under Tyson Brown? And does this Indiana team still have the same physical, grinding, break-your-will identity that carried the Hoosiers to a national championship?

Indiana Hoosiers eye a repeat national championship as bold transfer moves fuel their title defense. Can Josh Hoover, Turbo Richard, and Nick Marsh power Indiana football past Big Ten giants Ohio State and Michigan? Jacob Goins and Brian Smith break down the Hoosiers' No. 1-ranked transfer portal class, the impact of returning weapon Charlie Becker, and Curt Cignetti's strategic overhaul. Is 10 wins the floor for Indiana, or could quarterback play shift their trajectory? The episode also tackles game-changing NCAA rule moves, with the Big Ten leading the charge against pro players returning to college football. What ripple effects will this have on roster management and competitive balance across the sport? Get expert insight on playoff scenarios, schedule challenges, and why this season could redefine the landscape in the Big Ten and beyond.

Galen Clavio brings in Brooks White and Andrew Garrison from Hoosier Network for a student-media preview of the 2026 Indiana football season, with the Hoosiers just days away from opening against North Texas.The episode starts with the final week of preseason buildup: Back Home Network's ongoing positional previews, upcoming appearances from Rhett Lewis and Grace Ybarra, the C3 Bloomington Tailgate Bash at Renwick Village Center, and the sense that Bloomington is fully shifting into football mode.Once Brooks and Andrew join, the focus turns to what they have seen from Indiana through Big Ten Media Days, fall camp, and player availability. Andrew describes the program as almost “robotic,” but in the most complimentary way possible: consistent, disciplined, and so process-driven that there has not been much drama to react to. A major theme is the difference between last year's surprise and this year's expectation. Nobody went into 2025 assuming Indiana was about to go 16-0, win the Big Ten, and claim a national title. Now, the Hoosiers are trying to defend that level while integrating new stars, new transfers, and new pressure. Galen, Brooks, and Andrew talk about whether this team still has the same edge and whether the program's culture under Curt Cignetti can keep everything pointed in the right direction.The player discussion starts with possible breakout names. Davion Chandler comes up as a receiver who may not be top-of-mind behind Charlie Becker, Nick Marsh, and Tyler Morris, but who has speed and explosiveness that could give Indiana another useful weapon. The group also spends time on the running backs, where Turbo Richard, Khobie Martin, and Lee Beebe Jr. give IU a deep and intriguing room behind what should be one of the better offensive lines in the Big Ten.The longest football segment centers on Josh Hoover. Brooks pushes back hard against the idea that Hoover was the reason TCU struggled, arguing that the context around him matters: offensive line issues, defensive problems, a heavy burden in the passing game, and a very different situation from the one he inherits in Bloomington. Galen adds that TCU's Week Zero offensive struggles only made the old Hoover criticism look shakier. The defensive discussion focuses on the secondary. With D'Angelo Ponds gone, Indiana needs answers from players like A.J. Harris, Jamari Sharpe, and Ryland Gandy. Brooks sees cornerback as the defensive position group to watch early, especially because the biggest tests may not arrive until later against teams like Ohio State, USC, and Washington. Galen also points out that Bryant Haines' pass rush, pressure looks, and disguised coverages were a huge part of what made Indiana's defense work last year — and could help the secondary grow into the season.The back half of the episode is about student energy. Andrew talks about campus feeling anticipatory, with students discussing which games they were able to get tickets for and how quickly football became part of the conversation during welcome week. Brooks reflects on arriving at IU before the rise and wishing the school simply had a good football team — only to watch the program become a national champion and turn Memorial Stadium into a real home-field environment.The episode closes with predictions. Andrew goes all the way to 16-0 and another national championship, leaning into the idea that Indiana is still operating as a team of destiny until proven otherwise. Brooks predicts a 12-0 regular season, a College Football Playoff run, and believes Indiana is at least good enough to reach the semifinals. The group also debates a possible Indiana-Ohio State rematch in the Big Ten Championship, whether Oregon or Penn State could complicate the race, and why the Big Ten's top teams may once again define the national title chase.

Indiana football has real College Football Playoff expectations. So what can stop IU from running it back?That's today's focus on Y-Option - fueled by our founding sponsor 76, keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat. Todd Blackledge and I break down what could actually stop Curt Cignetti's Hoosiers after seeing them up close at fall camp.We explain why Indiana is unlikely to beat itself, how Josh Hoover's turnover history changes in this offense, why the wide receiver room needs another playmaker next to Charlie Becker and Nick Marsh, and how Bob Bostad's offensive line could become one of the Big Ten's best again. We also discuss the depth on the defensive line, the challenge of replacing a true lockdown corner, and why matchups with Ohio State, USC, Oregon, and the rest of the Big Ten will reveal how far Indiana can go.Thanks for watching, wherever you may be!Much love and stay steady,Yogi

CrimsonCast / BHN continues its 2026 positional preview series with a deep dive into the Hoosiers' wide receivers and tight ends — two groups that will help determine how quickly Josh Hoover settles into Curt Cignetti and Mike Shanahan's offense.Galen Clavio breaks down what Indiana lost from last year's passing game, including Elijah Sarratt, Omar Cooper Jr., E.J. Williams, and Riley Nowakowski, then looks at how the 2026 group could be rebuilt around Charlie Becker, Nick Marsh, Shazz Preston, and Tyler Morris. The episode focuses heavily on efficiency, alignment, drop rate, average depth of target, slot usage, contested catches, and why Indiana's passing game works best when the run game keeps the offense ahead of schedule.The second half shifts to tight end, where Indiana has a fascinating but unproven room featuring Blake Thiry, Andrew Barker, Brock Schott, Trevor Gibbs, PJ MacFarlane, and others. Galen discusses who might replace Nowakowski's do-everything role, who could emerge as a blocker, who may be the best receiving option, and why the first month of the season will reveal how much trust the staff has in this group.Check out our IU running back room preview podcast here.Check out our preview of the quarterbacks (well, really just Josh Hoover) here.

He also discusses possible Memorial Stadium renovations, including why a new stadium is unlikely but press box and premium-seat upgrades may be on the table.The show also covers Big Ten fall camp roster uncertainty, Indiana's road-trip slate, bathroom logistics at Memorial Stadium, tailgate plans, getting into the stadium earlier, and whether Michigan or Washington is the tougher road game.

Ohio State, Oregon, and Indiana shake up college football's transfer portal, pulling in big-time talents and sparking national title buzz. Can Christian Alliegro anchor the Buckeyes' defense after replacing NFL first-rounders? Will Michael Bennett III's transition from Yale secure Oregon's offensive line and playoff hopes? Nick Marsh's arrival in Indiana raises expectations for a breakout offense—are the Hoosiers poised for a deeper run? The conversation focused on immediate impact players—like Joe Brunner (IU) John Walker and Terry Moore (IU) and Koi Perich (Oregon)—and examined how roster moves could decide conference races. A key theme was the high stakes of offensive line transfers, player development, and coaching philosophy in modern college football. The discussion explored whether heavy reliance on portal talent hurts long-term success and which programs expertly balance recruiting with portal additions.

We wanted to talk with Marsh specifically about what his company is about. Founders Table also owns Chop't, Dos Toros and Protein Bar, an interesting group of chains.He talks about the firm's very beginnings and how it was formed with a couple of concepts owned by the private-equity firm L Catterton. Marsh talks about the benefits of putting growth chains together to share services and why that frees up brand founders to focus on their concepts. We also get into a discussion about growth strategies and why it's important not to get too aggressive in growing emerging concepts. And of course we talk about what Founders Table sees in Hopdoddy. We're talking growth on A Deeper Dive so please check it out.

Live from the Memorial Stadium parking lot right after Indiana's spring game, Galen Clavio is joined by CFB with Sam to break down what they saw, what matters, and what to take with the necessary spring-game caveats (especially with much of the offensive line out). They discuss the biggest standouts — including Turbo Richard's burst in the run game, Tyler Morris' highlight touchdown catch, early impressions of Josh Hoover, and how deep the receiver room looks with Nick Marsh, Shazz Preston, and more. On defense, they highlight the front's penetration, the depth/versatility up front, and why this unit again looks like it can be a weekly problem for opposing coordinators. They also hit special teams (two huge-leg kickers!), the recruiting weekend atmosphere, and what this event says about Indiana's momentum after the national title.

Global financial markets have headed south again after tensions between the US and Iran took a turn for the worse over the weekend. American forces attacked and then seized an Iranian cargo ship just east of the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran has responded by saying it will retaliate. Plus, the BBC's Nick Marsh has been looking at a story that's been quietly building in financial markets. Traders placing big bets just before major announcements by US president Donald Trump, including during the Iran war. BBC analysis suggests it may be happening more often than we thought.

Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield kick off a packed April episode with Little 500 week, IU football spring game week, and the NFL Draft featuring a bevy of Hoosiers. Then it's the big story on the hardwood: Indiana men's basketball has assembled one of the top transfer portal classes in the country, giving Darian DeVries a real foundation to build on. Galen and Scott talk roster construction, why this portal haul feels different from prior years, and what still needs to be added (especially depth in the frontcourt) as the market continues to settle. After the break, the focus shifts to football: what to expect from Thursday night's spring game (including your first real look at newcomers like Nick Marsh and Josh Hoover) and why this is becoming a major cultural event now that season tickets are sold out. Then they close with the NFL Draft—why Fernando Mendoza is tracking toward becoming IU's highest-drafted player ever, and how many other Hoosiers could hear their names called, including Omar Cooper Jr. and D'Angelo Ponds.

Galen Clavio and Scott Caulfield recap an unbelievable moment for Indiana football: IU's Pro Day airing live on NFL Network, with Fernando Mendoza slinging it, and a roster full of legitimate NFL prospects getting the kind of spotlight the program rarely — if ever — enjoyed before the title run. They discuss what it means for recruiting, why this roster's depth of pro talent is a sea change for Indiana, and how Mendoza's one-year impact on the university is almost impossible to overstate. Then the conversation shifts to early spring-ball vibes, including the viral Nick Marsh gold cleats story and what it says about Curt Cignetti's standards — plus Cignetti's perfectly timed response to a TCU coach's “turnovers” jab about Josh Hoover. Finally, they close with a quick Final Four in Indianapolis preview and thoughts on the matchups (Illinois/UConn and Michigan/Arizona) heading into the weekend.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow gap of water in the Middle East between Iran and the Arabian peninsula. About 3,000 or so ships sail through the Strait each month - that's about 80 ships a day. About 20% of the world's oil and gas passes through it. But now, it's an active war zone. As the US and Israel continue strikes on Iran, and Iran launches missiles at Israel and nearby Gulf states in retaliation, key shipping routes are being disrupted as well as oil and gas production in the region.Iran says it has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz, and that it would "set fire" to any ships trying to pass through it. In this episode we explain how this war could affect the wider world and why closing the Strait of Hormuz could lead to higher prices for petrol, food and electronics for us all. Kayleen Devlin from BBC Verify tells us what's happening to ships in the Strait of Hormuz and BBC business reporter Nick Marsh describes why parts of Asia are already feeling the effects.

Nick Marsh hits the Transfer Portal, sparking a bidding war among college football powerhouses. Could his game-changing playmaking turn Notre Dame, Miami, or LSU into instant title contenders? Teams searching for a big-play receiver are on high alert as Marsh, a 6'3” talent with NFL tools, considers offers that could reach up to $2 million, perhaps more? Which program will land this dynamic weapon, and how will his decision sway the national title race?Brian Smith analyzes how Marsh's size, shiftiness, and production could boost offenses like Tennessee's, the Fighting Irish, or Miami. The discussion dissects the impact on quarterback-wide receiver duos, transfer portal strategy, and NIL dynamics shaping college football. Key storylines include coaching carousel moves—Lane Kiffin to LSU, Alex Golesh at Auburn, and Matt Campbell at Penn State—and whether powerhouse programs have the right mix to capitalize on the evolving landscape.

Michigan State fans have had enough; the Spartan faithful desire head coach Jonathan Smith to be fired. I back up why the MSU fans deserve for that to happen. Unfortunately, I have some bad news to share with why that's going to cost the Spartans beyond the buyout.Michigan State's roster will likely be raided by other schools. Plus, Nick Marsh will command serious money if he enters the Transfer Portal. That's just the start. So, will MSU get rid of Smith? Time to discuss what happens regardless of Smith keeping his job or not.@fbscout_florida On X @LO_ThePortal TikTok @lockedontheportalSupport us by supporting our sponsors!DoorDashWith DoorDash Streaks, you save every Saturday you order — stack it up all season and you could save up to $250.

(No Brian this week—that was planned—and I overslept) Things Discussed: THE CRAIG ROSS HOUR Rudoph Verchow, most likely, I dunno. I wasn't there. Bredeson had a game—Sam explains what's going on with the blocking scheme. He's not reading on the fly; he's reading whether there's someone in the B gap, come get him! Run game cooking: MSU slanted into them but they had Bredeson to answer. Bryce: Concerned, not panicked. What's going on? RPOs are a comfort zone for him, but on 16 RPOs he only threw one and they were there for him. Coaches didn't have him prepared for nickel pressures. Gotta notice when the DBs are lined up over each other in the slot. THE PART I WAS THERE FOR MSU was pretty bad. Aidan Chiles has regressed badly. Guards easy to push around or just get out of the way. Jimmy Rolder had a GAME, though some of those events were just MSU bad. Jyaire Hill played great, shut down Nick Marsh and that was the end of what MSU can do. He had the one failed chuck on a long throw late. Okay, –2, but didn't offset a great night. Young guys make mistakes. Good gameplan from Rossi against a true freshman QB, Bryce is going to have to learn to trust his pockets and see the rush. TJ Guy: back to TJ Dude. Important because Cam Brandt isn't playing well, Nate Marshall is Not Ready. DTs are fine. They rotate so much it's hard for anyone to get traction. Benny and Pierce are much better than the others, but they were able to run their defense in a way that everybody just had to hold up to doubles and let the LBs make plays. Payne is fine. Williams is fine and gets one big play a game. Pierce is hurt or else they could play him more—warrior. LBs if Rolder and Sullivan are out: Move Barham back? I guess you have to. Bowles didn't have a good game; the 2nd & 19 one of the things you need is for him to drop back in a "V". Purdue: Old USC OC, don't Wink out.

Michigan State's Jonathan Smith bombed this season, including the current five-game losing streak. His time as head coach will end soon, and there are some intriguing candidates to discuss, including James Franklin.Can the Spartans keep star players like Nick Marsh from entering the Transfer Portal so the next head coach can access the talent to at least reach a bowl game during Year 1?@fbscout_florida On X @LO_ThePortal TikTok @lockedontheportalSupport us by supporting our sponsors!PelotonLet yourself run, lift, flex, and push forward.

Featured Musician: Chirp THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: Things discussable.]  --------------------- 1. MSU Preview: Offense starts at the top. What have they done to Aidan Chiles? He's dinky this year, and not very accurate as a dinker either. Be careful of his rushes. MSU fans are turning on their coaches already. Offensive line is a shambles of injury. Nick Marsh, enter the dang portal already friend. They're not even throwing to him deep. Sandbagging for this game? Please don't Wink out—they've been running a million screens. 2. MSU Preview: Defense starts at 20:26 Let Bryce cook, we say! A lot of cyans as yards are coming easily. They run both types of switch coverages—weird to see Dantonio's low safeties and press corners against a passing spread (it didn't work). Best thing to do is repeat last week's approach. 3. Washington After Review starts at 43:48 Waiting for Brian to tell us about Bryce and Frazier, but they looked pretty good. Drops were an issue, are an issue. Seth proposes a prospectin' name for Jordan Marshall. Defensively Washington contributed a lot to our scores, but credit Wink or the people who yelled at him for going back to the 2024 Ohio State gameplan. Long discussion on the rotations, especially at DL—Cam Brandt isn't Derrick Moore or a young Derrick Moore and it's unfair to be playing him as such. Also Jordan Young at the end of the 2nd half when you've got a 7-point lead. 3. Hoops and Hockey Check-In starts at 1:15:54 Hockey is undefeated after their best game in years vs WMU, game 2 is tonight and will be intense. Hoops has their 2nd exhibition, hopefully with a frontcourt this time, and this one has all the makings of an elite matchup. Featured Artist: Chirp Chirp is a four-piece band that hops around genres. I don't they've opened for Vulfpeck but they're part of that same progressive rock/funk and jazz-fusion scene. Formed in 2015, Jay Frydenlund, Brian Long, Sam Naples, and Patrick Blommel have been playing concerts and festivals all around the region. I saw them with Joe Hertler (featured here before), and got a notification in my email this week that they'll be at the Pig at the end of November (11/28), so I figured it's a good time to bring them up. I have them on my work playlist, mostly for their covers, but the songs featured are all off their 2022 album. Songs: "By the Book" (video) "Little Friend" "Fast Food Blues"       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

Dive into our early breakdown of the 2027 NFL Draft class for dynasty fantasy football, spotlighting blue chip prospects like Jeremiah Smith, the Ohio State wide receiver who's drawing comps to Julio Jones and AJ Brown for his size, athleticism, hands, and contested catch ability. We rank the top ten guys, from Cam Coleman's contested catch radius and George Pickens-like ball skills at Auburn to Ryan Williams' body control and after-the-catch elusiveness at Alabama, blending DeVonta Smith twitchiness with Jameson Williams speed and Garrett Wilson route running. At quarterback, Julian Sayin's pinpoint accuracy and smart decisions shine at Ohio State, while Dylan Raiola brings Patrick Mahomes mannerisms, arm talent, and pocket movement to Nebraska, reminding us of a cleaner Baker Mayfield. Running backs get love too, with Ahmad Hardy's contact balance, tackle-breaking power, and burst leading Missouri's ground game after his UL Monroe transfer, plus Fluff Bothwell's yoked build, squat strength, and Javonte Williams-style movement at Mississippi State. We hit on Bryant Wesco's route running and Tee Higgins upside at Clemson, alongside Nick Marsh's contested catch prowess and Keon Coleman red zone threat at Michigan State. From NFL scout buzz to dynasty trade strategies, like swapping 2026 picks for 2027 gold, this episode gets you ahead on these creme de la creme talents before rankings shift.

We tackle the Big Ten with the first of our three-part conference preview and break all 18 teams into tiers, discuss the biggest storylines and use protein metaphors to capture just how overwhelming this massive conference has become. From Ohio State's run at another national championship to Penn State's lofty expectations and the intriguing battle for fourth place, we unpack what makes this conference both excellent and exhausting. In this college football podcast episode, we debate our contender tier with Penn State, Ohio State, Oregon and... Michigan (?), analyze the fascinating second tier among six quality teams, wonder which "weird little stinkers" might surprise us. Plus, we examine why this might be the most difficult conference to rank from top to bottom. We explore Ty's bold Nebraska optimism versus Dan's skepticism, debate whether USC can finally finish games in the fourth quarter, wonder if Iowa's Mark Gronowski will bring his FCS magic to Iowa City, and talk through what the transfer of Nico Iamaleava means for UCLA. Plus, is Illinois fool's gold? Can Indiana make another improbable playoff run? Should we start a support group for Minnesota football fans? Will Northwestern finally get something from a transfer quarterback? Can Rutgers make a bowl? How far can the combo of Aiden Chiles and Nick Marsh take Michigan State?
