The Triple OptionAbout this episode
Indiana is a football school. We repeat, Indiana is a football school and kickers are people too. Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II, and Rob Stone dive into the College Football Playoff quarterfinals that saw Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas Tech all go down at the hands of Miami, Ole Miss, Indiana, and Oregon. Mark named his Deuce Deuce Dawg of the Week and for the second time all year it was a KICKER #HottyToddy. The guys then look a step from the field and into the transfer portal as it opened with Coach and Mark taking you behind the scenes of a locker room and the agent side of this time of year. Coach then talked about his former assistant Kyle Whittingham taking the job at Michigan before the guys ranked their top three hires of this coaching carousel. They then make their picks for Miami vs Ole Miss and Oregon vs Indiana.
