Penn State’s Best Isn’t Good Enough, Alabama’s Monumental Win Over Georgia, USC Can’t Play Smash Mouth Football

Colin’s joined by college football guru Josh Pate, host of “Josh Pate’s College Football Show”. They start with Penn State’s loss to Oregon and the unfair criticism of James Franklin and Colin argues that he’s still a top ten coach, and Josh explains why the loss was the beginning of a brand new timeline for Franklin and Penn State because their best still wasn’t good enough (4:00). They agree Dan Lanning would be crazy to leave Oregon for another job in the south and that he can accomplish anything he wants as coach of the Ducks (8:30). They recap their experience of being at USC @ Illinois and Colin highlights that USC was dominated physically and struggles to play smash mouth football, but Josh counters that one more year with the portal could fix it (13:00). They discuss the huge lift for Kalen DeBoer following in Nick Saban’s footsteps, and why Alabama’s win over Georgia was one of their biggest of the past decade (24:15). Finally, Colin lauds the addition of the transfer portal for the parity it’s created in the sport now that great bench players now start elsewhere (35:00).
