Show notes
00:00 – 12:51 Kevin is still buzzing from last night’s Monday Night Football game. The first overtime win for Josh Allen came against the Rams. James is back from Pittsburgh and got a chance to catch up on some sleep and errands. The weather in Pittsburgh became a bit of a non-factor, despite what we were thinking going into last Sunday. Minimal cause for concern for Tyrese Haliburton tweaking his ankle during the Pacers’ first preseason game We’re still looking forward to seeing him in the new ABA jerseys later this season.
12:51 - 20:07 Morning Checkdown
20:07 - 42:10 The Ohio State matchup is very achievable for the Hoosiers. We’ve seen this team lose, but the Hoosiers defense will need to be on their best behavior. The Texans have made a move for Marvin Harrison Jr. Are we surprised the Colts didn’t pursue harder? They haven’t done much for their WR room aside from the late acquisition of Keenan Allen.
42:10 - 1:05:35 There will be many eyes on Indiana in the world of college football this weekend with Purdue playing on Friday and seeking their third consecutive Big Ten win, Ohio State vs IU in Bloomington, and Notre Dame vs BYU. Kevin revisits Curt Cignetti’s quote of how “Good teams find a way to win.” They discuss what this win could mean to the Hoosiers, but also what effects a loss could have. Cignetti spoke about Jeremiah Smith and called him a “Freak” and a “wild player.” Kevin faces a potential disaster this weekend, since he has to attend a wedding during Notre Dame’s game. Morning Checkdown.
1:05:35 - 1:22:48 Steven Godfrey from Yahoo Sports joins to give Kevin advice on his wedding and Saturday Night Football situation. He also provides some insight on the matchup between IU and Ohio State. He also says that he wants some chaos and wouldn’t mind Big Ten success to disappoint SEC fans. He also talks the Notre Dame and BYU matchup. Steven also gives his take on Arch Manning and is the criticism around him is justified.
1:22:48 - 1:24:51 We close out Hour 2 by debriefing the discussion of Indiana and their differences in playmaking compared to last season. Nick Marsh was truly impressive against Nebraska, proving it’s not just a Charlie Becker receiving room.
1:24:51 - 1:45:16 As we consider the problems that the Colts have dealt with this season, we need to give more attention to how Jonathan Taylor hasn’t been able to splash like he usually does. Part of it is due to Daniel Jones not producing on his end, so the run becomes more predictable and stoppable. The Titans aren’t relatively strong in any category, so a lopsided win shouldn’t be a reason to believe the Colts are back. More of attempting to find a way that Kevin can watch the Notre Dame game at the wedding. Morning Checkdown.
1:45:16 - 1:55:30 The Pacers’ new throwback uniforms are truly amazing. There are few opportunities left in the preseason for Tyrese Haliburton to get more reps with Ivica Zubac. He’s mentioned he hasn’t had this much space when playing alongside a big, but Zubac also can’t stretch the floor like Myles Turner did.
1:55:30 - 2:03:50 Jake Query joins to close out the show. He and the guys discuss who could be next in the Colts Ring of Honor. Kevin previews his conversation with Bob Sanders and how he could potentially be a candidate.
