  • Again. Look. At the end of the day.

    The pod is only good when David gets made at the coaching staff. Otherwise it’s just 2 guys with tons of verbal tics agreeing with each other constantly

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

CBSSports analyst Brad Crawford clears the air, the latest on Miami's pursuit of elite targets
Q: Darian Mensah, Malachi Toney, you have a Heisman vote. Which one are you going with?
Crawford says Malachi Toney has his vote right now because of his production, although he still considers Jeremiah Smith the slight overall leader.
CBSSports analyst Brad Crawford clears the air, the latest on Miami's pursuit of elite targets
Q: What do you like about this Miami team that reflects what you believed about them coming into the season?
Crawford says Miami is operating well on both sides of the ball, has elite quarterback play, and lacks the clear weakness he sees in other title contenders.
North Carolina Preview with TarHeel247's Andrew Jones, the latest on Miami recruiting with 247Sports' Tom Loy
Q: How does Tom Loy assess Miami's chances of landing DJ Jacobs and Mark Matthews?
Loy says Miami is firmly in contention for Jacobs, who is still evaluating his options, and predicts he may decommit from Ohio State, though Loy is unsure whether Miami or Tennessee will land him. He also says Miami has remained a strong contender for Matthews and could be difficult for Texas A&M to hold off.
North Carolina Preview with TarHeel247's Andrew Jones, the latest on Miami recruiting with 247Sports' Tom Loy
Q: What is contributing to North Carolina's inability to finish games in which it appears to be playing better?
Andrew Jones points to missed opportunities to score touchdowns, especially in the red zone, along with limited offensive depth and trouble responding when opponents adjust. He says the Tar Heels have often failed to deliver a decisive play when they have momentum.
Miami vs. Florida State Preview
Q: What is the key obstruction Florida State can attempt to exploit?
Florida State's power-running and quarterback run game, led by Usman Kroma and Ashton Daniels, could test Miami's front seven if the Hurricanes don't maintain discipline, so Miami must consistently stop the run to prevent backdoor opportunities.
