Show Notes:

Segment 1: Jake Lantz from Smoking Musket Joins

• Neal Brown confirms that CJ Donaldson will be out for the Baylor game
• Jake not Happy with the “Non-Climb”
  • “Lesley, who engineered good defenses the past two years suddenly couldn’t stop a Pop Warner squad if they chose to throw the ball.”
  • “Aren’t we supposed to be strong along the front? Where is the pass rush? Where is the domination? Where is the fifth year senior coming back to prove everyone wrong? West Virginia had five sacks in the Backyard Brawl and since then, against three other P5 programs ( Kansas Jayhawks , Virginia Tech Hokies , Texas Longhorns ) they have three sacks. Eight sacks in 4 games against P5 programs and five came in the first game (that we still lost).”
  • “Well now it's time to let go of a friend of Neals and Jordan Lesley needs to go.”
• Jake predicts a 4-8 finish for this team
• Spread:
  • Baylor by 3.5
  • O/U 54.5

Other Football:
