Bud and Diante hit on the explosiveness of Ohio State's receivers, how the Buckeyes' defensive line could replicate their success after the Clemson game, who might attempt to cover Heisman-winner DeVonta Smith and what Ohio State will do when Alabama gets in the redzone.

Why so few podcasts

Bud I enjoy your podcast when you decide to do one. Only gripe is there are so few. If your not going to continue just let the listeners know I will delete it! Thanks Mike Campbell

Impossible to win the Heisman?

Hopefully this will be 4/4 on questions for me.

Very sad to see Barton going - but I think it is an incredibly smart hire for Vandy.

My question: is it possible for a Clemson player to win the Heisman? To preface Devonta Smith is deserving. Clemson is looking at so many greats coming short of the Heisman in the last 15 years. The problem is that when we have a multiple touchdown lead, our Heisman candidates are coming out of the game. You contrast that to, Mac Jones who was still playing against LSU when Alabama was up by 41.

God (and i) love him, but is it possible for us to win a Heisman with Dabo’s mentality of not chasing those stats?

Also why no app for 24/7 sports?

Just a referral to Cover 3 now

This was one of the best pods going. It appears now though since Barton left that they are throwing in the towel and just replaying the Cover 3 show. Cover 3 also used to be a great show until they added Kanell. If they just let Bud run this one alone it would be a great show and 10 times better than C3
