Chris Lee and Blake Lovell discuss Oklahoma's road trip to Philadelphia to face Temple, which will host the Sooners at Lincoln Financial Field. The game will be shown on ESPN2 at 11 Central. Topics discussed include: Quarterback John Mateer leads the Southeastern Conference with 662 passing yards and also in total offense (760). Oklahoma needs more out of running back position, and particularly from Jayden Ott. The Sooners' defense has given up 3.3 and 5.1 ypp in wins over Illinois State and Michigan and is loaded in the front seven. Temple is a little better than it normally is. The Owls are 2-0 after beating UMass 42-10 and Howard 55-7. K.C. Keeler is a first-year coach at Temple; coached last two years at Sam Houston State. Offensive players to watch for Temple include quarterback Evan Simon (27-of-35, 422 yards, nine touchdowns and no interceptions) and running back Jay Ducker (29 carries, 219 yards, one touchdown). Is this a potential let-down spot for Oklahoma between an early kickoff in a large stadium with lots of empty seats and a big game ahead with Auburn following an emotional win over Michigan?

In this episode of Talkin' Hawks with the VandeBergs, Matt and Laura recap Iowa's tough loss to Iowa State. While the result didn't go the Hawkeyes' way, they highlight moments of growth from the offense, including the emerging connection with wide receiver Jacob Gill and quarterback Mark Gronowski finding more comfort in the pocket. They also touch on the lessons to take from a close battle against a top-tier opponent and the importance of staying patient as the team gels in a new system.The conversation then shifts to an exclusive interview with standout linebacker Zach Lutmer, who turned in one of the most impressive performances of the game. Lutmer shares his perspective on competing in a high-stakes rivalry, what fuels his relentless play, and how he and his teammates are responding to early adversity. His insights reveal both the intensity of being on the field and the resilience that defines Iowa football.Looking ahead, Matt and Laura preview Iowa's upcoming matchup against UMass at Kinnick Stadium. They break down the keys to bouncing back, the adjustments needed on both sides of the ball, and why this game represents an important opportunity to build confidence and momentum. With home-field advantage and Hawkeye pride on full display, the stage is set for an exciting return to Iowa City.

Quarterback Starts at 0:54 Quick rundown of all the options: it's Bryce. Expectations for Bryce: Vince Young as a RS freshman, who doesn't quite know what to do with the ball and gets jumpy when the pressure's on, but you can see the talent. One thing in his favor: he isn't jumpy at all in the pocket, and the overthrows in the Spring Game were out of character. Michigan has to roll with it, but Big Ten average with huge swings. Will he be more like a sophomore by Ohio State perhaps? [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Skill Positions Starts at 35:36 Running back has two really good players and then a drop to ???. On the very goods, we love Jordan Marshall and might be underrating Justice Haynes—he's got a lot of Corum in him. He's also got a lot of experience as a lead blocker for a running QB, but that's probably not what he came here for. WRs are Donaven McCulley and then a big drop to Just-Guys who probably were better than they looked last year. Think Semaj Morgan should be the #2 since he gives you something—F.Moore, Bell, O'Leary just guys, hearing things about the freshmen doesn't give Brian happy feels. Tight end is the strength of the offense. The spectrum goes fullback: Max Bredeson, h-back: Jalen Hoffman, inline: Marlin Klein, flex: Hogan Hansen. Bredeson kickouts force defenders to overcommit, create bounce opportunities. Klein is an underrated blocker (watch the Reliaquest Bowl). Hansen was open last year, Davis Warren was allergic to throwing at him. Hoffman might be Underwood's secret binkie, can run WR routes and block like an OL. 3. Offensive Line Starts at 1:18:36 PLEASE do not activate our rule that if two guys are battling for a job and it's won by a third guy it's a very bad sign. Concerning that OL was an issue, and player evaluation was an issue, when the HC was the OL coach. It's not a hot take that Andrew Babalola is going to start at Ohio State, Brian. If Evan Link gets fixed and Gio El-Hadi truly feels more comfortable at LG that'd be great; the latter is more likely than the former, but they don't have better options so Link to start. Crippen is who he is; if his issues were mental then could see Juan Castillo having an effect, but Crippen is mentally there and just gets physically dominated. RG and RT are two really good stories for the future, as Efobi and Sprague (especially Sprague) are on track for excellent careers. Depth at G. 4. Hot Takes, Special Teams and Chip Starts at 1:46:36 Takes hotter than Sabrina Carpenter. Thank you to the Michigan fan who left Dominic Zvada out of the Groza semifinalists so he would come back to be the best kicker in Michigan history again. Punter…wasn't great last year but it's not like Hudson Hollenbeck was better in the one game we saw him, and attempts to get more guys in the portal is a little concerning. Returns should be Semaj, I'Marion Stewart, and hearing things about the UMass transfer Anthony Simpson. Chip's offense is about building his passing game onto your running game. They'd like to be an outside zone one way/rollout the other way team but they probably can't run outside zone. Need to hit the downfield shots to keep safeties off their screen game; last year they were set up at 7 yards.

"You're an outsider. And as you linger in that space, you start to become an insider ... but you're still an outsider. Don't forget that, even though you know more about it, you're an insider and an outsider," says Jeff Sharlet about when he's reporting on, say, far-right religious groups.OK, we've got Jeff Sharlet, which is pretty stunning when you think about it. I mean, this guy is the author of The Undertow: Scenes from a Slow Civil War, The Family, among other books. He often covers the far right and far-right fundamentalism and what's he's been able to document is scary and often unsettling. We don't dig too much into that, because mainly we just talk about doing this kind of work. It was really a fun and illuminating conversation and I'm pretty stoked.He teaches writing and creative nonfiction at Dartmouth College. That was where I desperately wanted to go to school. I was set to be their starting shortstop, but I couldn't get my goddam SATs above remedial and thus I attended good ol' UMass … back in the late 1990s, if you could funnel a beer in five seconds you got a scholarship #yoloIn this episode, Jeff and I riff about: His key influences Treating your book badly as a way of treating it well Using your outsiderness to your advantage His love of sportswriting, or interest in sportswriting, despite not following sports And real toads in imaginary gardensYou can learn more about Jeff and his work @jeffsharlet on Substack and his newsletter there called Scenes from a Slow Civil War … I admire people like Jeff who are just so damn smart in how they articulate things seemingly on the fly.

Today's guests are Cameron Josse and Joel Reinhardt. Cameron Josse is an Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach with the Detroit Lions. He's previously led training at DeFranco's and worked in college football at UNC Charlotte and Indiana, training athletes across the NFL, NHL, UFC, and WWE. Joel Reinhardt is the Director of Football Performance at Lafayette College. He's coached at San José State, Stanford, UMass, and Nicholls State. Both Cameron and Joel are field leaders in applied performance, data-driven programming, and athletic movement for physical preparation in American Football. Details in athletic preparation change from the level of high school to college to professional. On today's episode, Cameron and Joel speak on the nature of contact and collision preparation in their athlete populations, with a specific emphasis on the use of the ground and rolling patterns. They discuss the specific game demands of football, especially on the college and pro level, and how to prepare athletes for 25,000+ weekly yards of total on-field movement. They break down their approaches to speed, direction change, and capacity building work, with these ideas in mind. This was a show with lots of wisdom on helping players fully meet the needs of their sport. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength and LILA Exogen wearable resistance.

Joel discusses managing heavy summer phases before camp, while Cam explains the shift in autonomy and scheduling when transitioning to the NFL. What to try: In college, leverage summer access to build in more football-specific work before camp. In pro settings: Expect less year-round control—build players' autonomy and keep lines open during away periods. Plan for longer in-season stress in the NFL (17+ games); taper early and build recovery into weekly rhythms Navigating Player Relationships with Private Trainers [4:48] Cameron emphasizes collaboration with private-sector coaches when players train off-site. Rather than resisting outside input, he advocates for using it to better individualize in-team programming. What to try: Reach out to private coaches working with your athletes—especially vets with long-standing relationships. Use those conversations to shape training direction, not override it. Drop the ego—focus on what helps the athlete feel and perform best Adapting Contact Prep and Agility for Different Levels [15:57] Literal contact prep (e.g., wrestling, rugby-style drills) is mostly off-limits in team settings. Cam shifts toward decel work, ground-based drills, and rolling patterns to mimic collisions without violating rules. What to try: Use crawling, rolls, and tumbling as proxies for contact—especially during early prep phases. Emphasize deceleration and COD mechanics for lower body contact loading.
