Split Zone Duo: College Football Podcast

Alex is out of office so Godfrey immediately hijacked the conference season preview format to talk about cigarettes and media parties. Let's explore the ever-changing world of the American and calm down – or warn – a group of ACC hopefuls about their 2022 season and beyond. Production: Anthony Vito

Alex and Richard take a 30-ish-minute sprint through the interesting happenings in college football this weekend. A&M picked a weird script to take down Bama. Red River was outstanding and heralds a new era of Oklahoma quarterback play. Penn State shoud've just gone to the Wildcat, Georgia's defense gave up a whole 10 points, Coastal is just pummeling teams, the lights are about to go out on Coach O's LSU, don't be fooled by Texas Tech's record, and UTSA: MEEP MEEP.

A running back from Boise State helped define the 2024 season. Does CFB have an RB waiting in the wings to make a similar imprint in 2025? Probably not exactly, given Jeanty’s historic season and the difficulty non-power programs have had retaining star running backs this offseason. But if we’re just looking for running backs who can defy difficult circumstances and elevate their offenses to a new level, we can find some candidates to be 2025’s Jeanty.

Rodger Sherman returns for our offseason check in with the American Athletic Conference, along with Alex and Richard. The group discusses how things have been going since the end of the 2024 season for each team in the AAC:

UTSA finds reason for optimism

Rice gets a bit creative in the coach carousel

FAU makes a hire that Alex is pretty happy about

Tulsa hires a millennial from the FCS ranks

North Texas attempts to finally play a bit of defense, and also returns to the Cam Ward Quarterback Tree

Temple lands a proper ball coach to try a rebuild

ECU sticks with the interim coach after a solid finish

Charlotte also has a new head coach, but success at Charlotte might not hinge on who the 49ers hire

Tulane 2.0 under Jon Sumrall

UAB tries to patch a major wound with small bandages

Army loses its entire offense

Navy doesn’t

USF may actually, finally, at long last, be building a new stadium
