  • #19 - UCLA Disrespected & Indiana Survives

    Chase kicks off the conversation by sharing his experience at the UCLA game, where the team showcased a strong defense, shutting out Nevada for their first shutout since 2011. However, he expressed some disappointment about the offensive performance, saying, "I was pretty tossed, so I didn’t get to watch much football yesterday. But from what I did see... That was absolutely insane."

    Meanwhile, Luis highlighted the excitement from the Indiana game, emphasizing the achievement of back-to-back 60-yard field goals to send the match into overtime. But Luis and Chase agree that Indiana, despite their impressive record, might not be as strong as they appear.

    The duo delved into how rankings can be misleading, particularly with teams like Indiana being considered elite despite their struggles. They both agree that teams like UCLA and Utah are emerging as real contenders, with Luis noting, "UCLA doesn't have control over their schedule. All you can do is go out and beat the shit out of who you're playing. And that's exactly what they're doing."

    This college football season has been anything but predictable. The hosts reflected on how teams like Texas and USC have shown inconsistent performances, leaving fans and analysts alike scratching their heads. Luis points out that while Georgia has been consistent since their loss to Auburn, other teams are still vying for recognition.
