We are just over two weeks away from real football being played! We invite Preston Guy of TigerBait.com onto the show to preview the season opener, USC Trojans vs LSU Tigers.

The similarities between these two programs are uncanny. Both coaches were hired a week apart. Both come from top programs. Both inherited bad rosters and a program that was in disarray. Both teams have QBs that will be first-year starters after sitting behind a Heisman Trophy winner. You get the point.

At Big Ten Media Day, Lincoln Riley told the media that they weren't done adding to the roster yet, and he was not lying. Before the week ended, they added two JUCO players to the 2024 roster, and on Saturday they gained a commitment from elite 2026 EDGE/Linebacker Xavier Griffin.

On Monday, 2026 CB Dominick Kelly decommitted and flipped to Georgia, but almost instantaneously, they gained the commitment from 2026 local CB Joshua Holland.

Are more coming??
