With his team off to a 7-1 start, sophomore dual-threat QB John Mateer of Washington State comes on the pod to talk about his emergence as one of the best players in the country, his Texas roots and his seemingly mythical ability to squat 600 pounds. Cougars coach Jake Dickert follows with some insight into how his program found Mateer and why he thinks his young QB could be the real deal. And in the spirit of the season, we close with a segment on LSU's 1959 Heisman Trophy winner Billy Cannon, whose 89-yard punt return on Halloween night still lives on in Louisiana lore.
