Clemson’s 34-21home loss to Syracuse shocked the college football world. They were the inferior team from Syracuse’s first drive onward. There are several reasons why I dive into during today’s podcast, and a prime question that needs asked.Should Dabo Swinney have used the Transfer Portal more?

Florida at LSU will be one of college football’s wildest Week 3 games, with the point spread at 8.5 points in favor of the Tigers, and the over-under set to 48.5. I have strong opinions on why this game could be a shocker to many.It starts with Florida’s offensive line performing well and Jadan Baugh being one of college football’s best running backs. As for LSU, they have major issues along the offensive line. I break down those situations, and several more, to predict a final score and
