Summary: (00:00-28:06)-JMV starts the show reflecting on the 2 year anniversary of Andrew Luck retiring on the eve of the season and the whirlwind that ensued in his wake. He then reacts to IU getting a top 25 recruit and the momentum of the program heading into the season. (28:06-43:20)-Greg Rakestraw joins JMV to recap the exciting Week 1 of Indiana HSFB from over the weekend. They then discuss about what Greg has seen from Carson Wentz in his first 2 days back from injury, if the Colts should feel comfortable with Eason as the backup QB, and the final position battles to make the 53 man roster. (43:20-1:10:55)-PFF Director of Content Austin Gayle joins JMV to re-calibrate the Colts season expectations if both Wentz and Nelson play week 1, the ceiling for Jonathan Taylor and where he ranks in the NFL for RB’s, and why the Colts defense doesn’t get enough attention nationally. They then go around the NFL and talk about if there is a level of concern with Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars, Jameis Winston’s great play and the QB battle in NO, and the Titans greatest weakness.

(1:18:20-1:39:58)-CFB Guru Phil Steele joins JMV as they do a CFB Mega Preview. They hit on whether or not IU can reach fan and Tom Allen’s expectations after a strong 2020 season, if Jeff Brohm and Purdue can rebound, if the Ball State Cardinals can repeat as MAC Champions, and if Notre Dame can withstand only returning 9 starters and make a run at the College Football Playoff.
