We come out of the gate with some shade toward the offensive scheme, as Roman shares a story about surprising his daughter with a Tesla for her 16th birthday. And as we get down to Greentree we play the clip of Shannon Dawson clapping back at the media for the criticism of the running game, as Scoop sounds off on where it comes from and why Miami will refuse to change their scheme at this point. And from there we debate whether Miami has a talent issue or just a personnel management issue, especially in the run game.

Toast also brings up a wild stat about Miami ranking dead last in the conference in penalties called against them, especially since Rueben Bain is being held on almost every possession. And we discuss the argument on ESPN about Mario "running up the score" against Stanford, and whether or not that was done to cover the spread. And everyone's Keys to the Game include manageable second downs, effective running, using the screen game against SMU's defense, starting strong in an early game and how this is Carson Beck's game to win.

We also bounce around the big stories of the week, including what a turd Brian Kelly turned out to be as he exits his gig at LSU, and how the Louisiana governor is also now involved in the hiring of the next coach. Plus FSU's AD set the fan base on fire after taking up for Mike Norvell and how the biggest winner in that scenario is the University of Miami. We also touch on the wild NBA arrests this week, and Cam Newton two-piecing the Alabama A&M mascot. And as always we close it out with a big round of Pick 'Ems, and our prediction for the Miami-SMU game.
