On the Friday sports edition of 'Will Cain Country,' Will is joined by “The Film Guy,” Brooks Austin to dive into the upcoming college football season, starting with the biggest name of them all: Arch Manning. Brooks says Arch has the poise, arm talent, and command of Steve Sarkisian’s offense to be special, easily a better upgrade over Quinn Ewers. 

They also run through the national QB landscape: why LaNorris Sellers might be the best quarterback in the country, how LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier could break out, and why Oklahoma may be in trouble despite bringing in a big-name coordinator. Brooks offers his playoff picks in addition to his surprise teams to watch.

Also, can James Franklin finally win a big one at Penn State? Don’t bet on it.

Will then talks with Cody Campbell, Texas Tech Chairman of the Board of Regents, member of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, & Nutrition, and Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Double Eagle Energy Holdings, about how to fix college sports. Campbell warns that without serious reform, NIL and over-professionalization will kill Olympic and women’s sports. But with the right leadership and cooperation, he’s confident college athletics can be saved, and Texas Tech, he hints, is just getting started.
