Saturday Shakedown: The Big Ten Is Back, Baby! Waddle, Alabama's Future & Weekend Mailbag The Audible with Stew & Bruce: A show about college football

    • Football

Stewart and Bruce dish out their takes on the opening weekend of Big Ten action, starting with the dramatic conclusion to Indiana-Penn State (2:00). Why are fanbases other than Penn State trying to label James Franklin as 'overrated', and where do the Nittany Lions fall in the conference pecking order (8:00)? Who's the second best team in the 'Ten behind Ohio State (11:30), plus who would the guys bet on to win the Big Ten aside from OSU? The guys cruise through Rutgers' first conference victory since 2017, Wisconsin and Graham Mertz as well as Maryland's lopsided loss (15:00). Will Saturday's be different now with Jaylen Waddle expected to miss the remainder of the season (27:00)? Is it time to hop back on the LSU bandwagon, and just how impressive was TJ Finley in the Tigers' win (30:30)? Stew and Bruce brandish their digital letter openers and answer some mailbag questions, featuring Cincinnati, James Franklin and Tim Brando (33:00)!
