Former Pitt QB (2005-2009) Bill Stull joins Semple Fi to talk ball. Zack gets to pick Bill's brain on what this offense does well and why it works so well, how Eli looks like a veteran four games into his career, Big East football, and how to get psyched to play WV.

Bill is also a part of Pittsburgh Men Wear Pink, and they're putting on a fundraiser at Southern Tier on the North Side on October 3rd. If you're able to, be sure to stop by the North Side for a fun night and to support the American Cancer Society.

The boys are back in town! Thank you to Dom Campbell for stepping in to host last week's show while Zack and Mason are away. It's been a huge week in Pitt sports. We're out an AD (we salute you, Heather Lyke), Volleyball is #1 in the nation, Eli and the gang came back from down 27-6 to win at Cincinnati, and the Mountaineers loom large this Sunday at the Ac. All that and more in this episode where we briefly recap Week 2 and look ahead to the Week 3 slate, which has got a couple of pretty damn funny outcomes on it.
