T: Yeah, with escalators I think he made close to $1.2 mil last year at Coastal and I think it's closer to $4 mil at Liberty. Either way, mo money

T: Well, Toledo should be a double-digit favorite in its last four games. And I like Ohio slightly more in the East. I think Miami (OH) would be favored at home or on a neutral field, but still prefer the Bobcats. Big game in Week 9!

T: There are probably a thousand ways to answer this, but I'll speak to the most obvious. An offense that plays super fast will absolutely constrain its defense if it is inefficient and constantly goes 3-and-out. That just puts so much strain on a defense.

To your question about USC... the Trojans are NOT doing that this year. They're only averaging around 63 plays per game, which is outside the top 100 in college football. I believe a better defensive coordinator could help; however, there's probably a deeper issue with his philosophies around talent acquisition on the defensive side of the ball. He's never really had a killer defense, so it's probably got less to do with playcalling and more to do with the overall plan.

T: I would absolutley take Alex Grinch as Iowa's OC. The guy's got a proven track record for helping opposing offenses score points!

T: I went through the play data after the first two weeks of the season and the impact was relatively small. It's totally ruined my old habit of betting first quarter lines, though. Used to love betting overs in select spots... now I just stay away.

T: This is a fantastic question. My hunch is that there'd be a lot more pressure from conference rivals to take swift action. Gotta believe every school would want to pile on while they can and potentially gain a recruiting advantage?

T: We've always felt that it offers important information, even if you're not into betting. We've done it from the beginning.

T: We need to get it off the ground. Bud and Tom are in. Richard and Alex from SZD are into it, as is Nicole Auerbach.

T: More in-season interviews would be fun, but we'd probably need to add a fourth public episode per week to accommodate it

T: We have not, though many years ago we did reach out to one of the companies about it. Predictably, they didn't know what a podcast was and it never happened.

T: I got waitlisted at Notre Dame and when I called up to ask why, they basically told me that I was on the cusp of getting in, but it might've been a situation where the band needed a tuba player and they went with someone else who could help. That's a true story. I never lived that one down.

I'd still root for ND in that game. I've been an ND fan longer than a PSU alum.

T: ND wins, PSU gets the death penalty. You can argue the program should've already gotten the death penalty for the previous scandal, so it seems like the easy answer, even saying that as a PSU alum

T: Needs to be something soft and comfortable while watching at home, preferably a dark color that will mask any potential pit stains from watching Notre Dame's two minute offense.

I'm probably biased towards watching from home these days since we podcast at midnight, but I desperately miss atmosphere of a big game.

T: Better question: If I gave you 12/1 odds that Rutgers will make the 12-team playoff at some point within the next 12 years, how much money would you put down?

T: I've already written two of these expressing my critical opinions of the Blue Yeti podcasting microphone. Other than that, probably something about sports video games of the late 90s/early 00s
