GENE STERATORE (CBS Rules Analyst) - There was a mystery penalty called on Ernest Jones on Sunday, but suddenly, it was like nothing happened and play resumed without the penalty.

Do we agree with what Jedd did and does Jedd care? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

RICK NEUHEISEL (CBS Sports) How does Coach feel about the late-game pass to run up the score and has he ever done anything like that? What do the Dawgs need to do to stun the Buckeyes this weekend?

Next up is Ohio State, so how is coach preparing the team for their first big test? :45- The ABCs of the Mariners - J is for JP: JP has carried a lot of the pressure to get this team to where it needs to be and for him to have the grand slam yesterday was great! - K is for kill-shot: yes, the grand slam on Sunday was great, but the dagger in the heart for the Astros was that Victor Robles double play to end the game on Saturday. - L is for Legend: the fact that Cal has broken Griffey's HR record is nuts!

Headlines and SOFTY joins us to talk Apple Cup… and a little Mariners. Softy's predictions seem to get bolder and bolder, but how does he really think the game will play out in Pullman? Is there any chance the Huskies are overlooking this game and looking ahead to Ohio State next week? What are some of Softy's best Apple Cup memories? :30- The Seahawks host the Saints on Sunday and Devon Witherspoon's (Spoonman) status is still up in the air. Should Mike MacDonald sit him given the opponent? :45- ABCs of the Mariners - F is for Faulty: Dom Canzone goes 5 for 5 on Tuesday and gets benched on Wednesday because of the pitching matchup… - G is for Geno: he's only hitting .185 since coming to Seattle, which has been disappointing, but he came through last night and maybe he's headed back in the right direction. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mariners win streak ends after a loss in Kansas City last night, but did we really think the Mariners would win all of their remaining games? Maybe some of us did… :30- Mariners Morning After The offense battled back after Bryce Miller gave up a 1st inning 3-run home run and it seemed like it was setting up to be a classic Mariners win, but Matt Brash fell apart in the 8th and things unraveled quickly on the way to a 7-5 Royals win.

We are witnessing a season to remember and the only proper way to celebrate it is to acknowledge Cal-O-Ween. The Mariners are playing good baseball, they aren't just winning on good pitching or high scoring offense, they're finding a way to do it all and if they can keep it up, they'll go far. Of course, the question remains, can they keep it up? No matter how well we've done over these last 10 games, we are still only a half game up on the Astros, so theirs is no room for error. :30- There's been a lot of chatter about the play of Demond Williams Jr and Jonah Coleman, but is it too early to start hyping up postseason awards for the Dawgs? The real test is still a week and a half away against Ohio State. :45- We close out this humpday with one last thing! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

CAM CLEELAND (Learfield Washington Color analyst) It's Apple Cup week and it just doesn't feel the same anymore, but the Dawgs haven't won on the road under Jedd Fisch and they need to get one this weekend in Pullman. How important is it for the Dawgs to get this win and how confident is Cam that Dawgs will get it done? Whoopsies, some Oregon hate seeps in! :30- ANGIE MENTINK (Root Sports) joins the show to help us celebrate Calloween! :45- Is the future of the tush push on the rocks?

The guys are back to talk about Jim Knowles leaving Ohio State, but not taking the OU job. Grant's not happy that OU may have lost a head-to-head battle with Penn State.

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftblog.com, John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com and Bill Krueger, ROOT Sports. Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.comjoins the show from the start to chat about the Seahawks win over Miami and the play of the defense.  Is the defense good or is it a result of the opponents they have faced?  Also, you are seeing a trend in the NFL with teams running the football more and it's a trend that will likely continue as the season moves forward.  So, as Puck and Rob discuss, old school football is back!   With all the compliments being thrown the way of the Seahawks, they still have issues on the offensive line, in particular Anthony Bradford. Puck and Rob can't figure out why they continue to play him and not give Christian Haynes a shot, but Rob does have a theory that he ran by Puck on why Bradford may be staying in there for now. Rob continues to gush over the play of Geno Smith and the offense despite them struggling in the middle of the game. D.K. Metcalf continues to be a force in the passing game and the running game looked much better with Zach Charbonnet this past weekend. Both Rob and Puck agreed that Charbonnet is a much better back than people give him credit for.  They wrap up their conversation  with thoughts on the rest of the NFC West and NFC and ask who is really better than Seattle right now?  Seattle is playing some really good football despite the opponents. John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com, is next up and they touch in on  the PAC-12's legal maneuvers, Gonzaga's potential addition to the conference, and how legitimate is John Mateer as a Heisman Trophy candidate?  They touch on Wazzu's chances of running the table and creating chaos in the college football playoffs, the impact of media on what teams get the chance to play in the playoffs, and what happens if the Pac-12 can't land UNLV and Air Force.  Where do they turn next?Lastly, Bill Krueger, ROOT Sports, joins Puck to talk Mariners baseball. They immediately jump into the performance of Bryce Miller and Bill suggests he's the best pitcher on the Mariners staff.  Julio Rodriguez is finishing the season strong and Puck asks Bill what he could do to get off to a better start at the beginning of the season.   Bill reminds Puck that the Mariners still have a shot at the playoffs and tells him not to give up hope.  They wrap up their chat with Bill reflecting on his time playing for the Oakland A's and how much that city and organization meant to him and how sad he is that they are leaving Oakland and that Major League baseball should be ashamed of themselves. Finally, “Hey, What the Puck!?”, Puck wonders why Joel Klatt of FOX has a problem with what Oregon State and Washington State are doing in rebuilding the conference?Rundown00:00 PuckSports Mobile App launch…Pac-12 news…NFL running game not dead 12:32 Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftblog.comjoins the show to talk Seahawks win over the Dolphins.  Play of the defense.

On today's Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett is joined by Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftblog.com, John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com and Bill Krueger, ROOT Sports. Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftBlog.comjoins the show from the start to chat about the Seahawks win over Miami and the play of the defense.  Is the defense good or is it a result of the opponents they have faced?  Also, you are seeing a trend in the NFL with teams running the football more and it's a trend that will likely continue as the season moves forward.  So, as Puck and Rob discuss, old school football is back!   With all the compliments being thrown the way of the Seahawks, they still have issues on the offensive line, in particular Anthony Bradford. Puck and Rob can't figure out why they continue to play him and not give Christian Haynes a shot, but Rob does have a theory that he ran by Puck on why Bradford may be staying in there for now. Rob continues to gush over the play of Geno Smith and the offense despite them struggling in the middle of the game. D.K. Metcalf continues to be a force in the passing game and the running game looked much better with Zach Charbonnet this past weekend. Both Rob and Puck agreed that Charbonnet is a much better back than people give him credit for.  They wrap up their conversation  with thoughts on the rest of the NFC West and NFC and ask who is really better than Seattle right now?  Seattle is playing some really good football despite the opponents. John Canzano, JohnCanzano.com, is next up and they touch in on  the PAC-12's legal maneuvers, Gonzaga's potential addition to the conference, and how legitimate is John Mateer as a Heisman Trophy candidate?  They touch on Wazzu's chances of running the table and creating chaos in the college football playoffs, the impact of media on what teams get the chance to play in the playoffs, and what happens if the Pac-12 can't land UNLV and Air Force.  Where do they turn next?Lastly, Bill Krueger, ROOT Sports, joins Puck to talk Mariners baseball. They immediately jump into the performance of Bryce Miller and Bill suggests he's the best pitcher on the Mariners staff.  Julio Rodriguez is finishing the season strong and Puck asks Bill what he could do to get off to a better start at the beginning of the season.   Bill reminds Puck that the Mariners still have a shot at the playoffs and tells him not to give up hope.  They wrap up their chat with Bill reflecting on his time playing for the Oakland A's and how much that city and organization meant to him and how sad he is that they are leaving Oakland and that Major League baseball should be ashamed of themselves. Finally, “Hey, What the Puck!?”, Puck wonders why Joel Klatt of FOX has a problem with what Oregon State and Washington State are doing in rebuilding the conference?Rundown00:00 PuckSports Mobile App launch…Pac-12 news…NFL running game not dead 12:32 Rob Staton, SeahawksDraftblog.comjoins the show to talk Seahawks win over the Dolphins.  Play of the defense.

On today's, Daily Puck Drop, Jason “Puck” Puckett and Jim Moore kick off the show talking about Shohei Ohtani and how remarkable he is and what a ridiculous game he had last night. Puck is angry at Jim because he's been talking all week how he feels the Wazzu game against San Jose State is a trap game and Puck wasn't buying it but after watching highlights of San Jose State, Puck is now worried more than ever! After they are done talking about the Cougs, they switch gears to chat about the Seahawks and their game against Miami and the play of Geno Smith.  His play so far during the season will help him negotiate a contract extension in the offseason.  Puck and Jim chat about how difficult it is to find a franchise QB.   Puck doesn't think Geno is a franchise QB, Jim disagrees…a little.  Our handicapper, TroyWins.com stops on by to preview the upcoming games for the weekend. Jim can't stick around because he's driving to Pullman for Dad's weekend.  We go over all the major games in both college football and NFL, including the Cougs game on Friday vs. San Jose State, the Huskies vs. Northwestern and the Seahawks on Sunday. Chris Egan, KING 5, wraps ups the week with a visit and immediately scolds Puck for giving up on the Mariners and calls him a bad fan!  Puck tries to explain to Chris that he feels like he's an an abusive relationship with the Mariners and he can't take it anymore.  Puck makes fun of Egan going to the Puyallup Fair dressed up like a cowboy and he previews the King 5 Big Game of the Week. Lastly, “Hey, What the Puck!?” Focuses on the importance of Memphis joining the Pac-12 conference and why adding them would be a good move for Washington State and Oregon State.  Rundown00:00 Puck welcomes Jim Moore to show who is on the road in Madras, Oregon on his way to Pullman for Dad's weekend 06:03 Puck is now nervous about the Cougs game against San Jose State 12:33 Jim tells Puck that the Cougs will win, but it will be close 17:44 Shohei Ohtani's Historic Performance30:14 Geno Smith's Contract Year and Performance41:29 Jim's Picks and Betting Insights42:14 Game Predictions and Betting Insights45:32 Voicemails are back! 47:02 TroyWins.com, our handicapper joins the show giving his insight on the upcoming games for the weekend 48:43 Troy goes over his top picks of the week and the games to stay away from. 01:00:15 Chris Egan, KING 5, joins the show to yell at Puck for being a bad fan when it comes to the Mariners.

Featured Musicians: The Missing Chums The Video: [After THE JUMP: The things to be said.] --------------------- 1. Texas After Review starts at the top The defensive story isn't that bad. Down to down they can hang. Jyaire Hill is a work in progress that Texas picked on and broke a few times. Their problem seems to be Wink, who has NFL ideas for 3rd down that are at fault for them not getting off the field. Busts go back to running too much stuff. They can fix this. Offensively they can't fix this. Their OL is just not good. Priebe's 2023 film was more honest than the 2024 offseason talk: he's just a guy. Link and Giudice are so far from being playable. Don't think we've ever had the program talk guys up so much and this be the result. ALSO the offensive brain trust doesn't know how to use their personnel. We're just guys on the internet but 13 snaps each for Mullings and Bredeson when those are two of your best weapons is inexplicable. It looks like they're just trying to be last year's offense with Donovan Warren. 2. Arkansas State: Offense starts at 22:11 Return Jaylen Raynor who started as a freshman. He's a runner who will take off when his 2nd read isn't there. Tackles are in rough shape since losing LT Makilan Thomas to injury; he's questionable for this game. Dangerman is wide receiver Corey Rucker, who plays big for a 6'0/214 guy. Butch Jones offense: spread to dink with a few bombs to keep you honest. 3. Arkansas State: Defense starts at 32:56 Defense has a lot of transfers, one guy that Alex liked was edge Bryan Whitehead, a Liberty transfer, but Seth notes that Tulsa has one of the worst LTs in the country; is Evan Link bad for a P4 player or bad for a football player? Safeties are a real weak spot: not fast and not big, they should be double-moved by Loveland. 4. Unverified Voracity Live starts at 43:11 RIP to James Earl Jones, who was a tremendous flex and a tremendous Michigan story. RIP also to Greg Harden, our former guest who had a hand in creating the Michigan program culture. Less sad RIPs: the Big Ten being immune from lawsuits, as Denard Robinson and Braylon Edwards show House isn't going to settle this. In other legal news, the ACC seems to be winning against FSU's big threat of having the state of Florida declare sovereign immunity. Pac 2 is now up to Pac 6, but don't expect Cal/Stanford to join any time soon, since they culturally want nothing to do with Wazzu and Oregon State, and they're held by the same Grant of Rights as the other ACC teams. Maybe UNLV if they bring along Reno.
