Lane Kiffin is fighting the entire SEC just to roster one backup tight end, Dae'Quan Wright. Adam breaks down why LSU is willing to cause this much drama, and it's not really about that one guy. It's about the two-TE nightmare they're trying to build.
Week 1 of college football delivered one of the biggest upsets of the year, a legal fight that's dividing the SEC, a new star receiver, and a scare that has one playoff contender under the microscope. Adam digs into UMass's stunning win over Rutgers and brings on head coach Joe Harasymiak to explain how he pulled it off, gets into LSU's master plan behind all the drama with Lane Kiffin and the SEC, makes the case that Penn State may have finally found its WR1 in Koby Howard, and breaks down whether Oregon's near-loss to Boise State is a real warning sign heading into Big Ten play, plus a take on Dante Moore you're going to want to hear.
Penn State hasn't had a real WR1 since Jahan Dotson in 2021. After Koby Howard's 161-yard breakout against Marshall, Adam breaks down whether the search is finally over, and why the receiver room around Howard might matter more than his numbers alone.
Oregon was supposed to have one of the best defensive fronts in the country. Instead, they needed a second-half comeback just to survive Boise State at home. Adam gets into whether this is a real problem for the Ducks or just a rough season opener, plus a take on Dante Moore you're going to want to hear.
UMass went 0-12 last year. This week, they beat Rutgers as a 30-point underdog. I got their head coach, Joe Harasymiak, on the show to talk about it. He told me exactly what changed in one offseason, and what it meant walking off that field having beaten his former team.
UMass head coach Joe Harasymiak sits down with Adam to talk about the biggest win of his career. Last week, Harasymiak beat his former team, Rutgers, for UMass's first-ever win over a Power Four opponent since joining the FBS. In his own words, Harasymiak breaks down what actually changed for this program in one offseason, what it meant walking off that field having beaten the program he used to coach for, and where he thinks this UMass team goes from here.
This week on Adam Breneman's College Football Show: Adam recaps his weekend in Fargo in the booth with Brian Kelly, breaks down North Dakota State's jump to FBS, and gives his take on whether UVA and new starting QB Beau Pribula are built to stay atop the ACC. Plus, a full game-by-game prediction for Matt Campbell's first season at Penn State, and a deep dive into LSU-Clemson — Lane Kiffin's debut, Dabo Swinney's hottest seat yet, and the quarterback problem that's been building at Clemson for years.

I traveled to Bloomington, Indiana to sit down with reigning national champion head coach Curt Cignetti and learn how he transformed the Hoosiers into the top program in college football. We discussed the standards, culture, and leadership principles that fueled Indiana’s rapid rise, why toughness remains at the core of everything he does, and the mentors who shaped his coaching philosophy. Cignetti also opened up about staying motivated after winning it all, the importance of hiring the right people, developing players the right way, and how the university, administration, and fan base rallied behind Indiana during its historic championship run.

Miami running back Mark Fletcher has already faced more adversity than most players do in an entire career. I traveled to Coral Gables to sit down with Fletcher and discuss his recruitment process, his relationship with Mario Cristobal, battling through a Lisfranc injury as a freshman, and how he handled the loss of his father. We also talked about his development as a player, the areas of his game he’s focused on improving, and why he believes he’s ready for a breakout 2026 season. This is Mark Fletcher unfiltered.
