The Texans O-line coach is a former Colts coach who was blamed for their poor O-line performance last season. How will Anthony Richardson perform in his first away game? Houston is missing their two starting safeties, and Richardson has some room to throw the ball on Sunday. Will Matt Gay get any field goal opportunities on Sunday? Buddy Hield is changing his number from 24 to 7.

(44:50 - 1:09:12) - Greg Rakestraw is on for his weekly spot to talk High-School, College, and NFL Football. The Colts didn't look great last week according to Rakestraw, but they still looked better than Houston and he is confident that Sunday can be a Colts win. Re-visiting the Jaylen Hurts push play and fumble turnover controversy from Thursday Night Football. Indiana and Purdue are both underdogs in non-conference games this weekend.

The AFC South is going to be a big passing division this year according to Kevin and Matt. Matt believes the Colts defense is solid this year, they just need to make stops at the red zone. Taylor doesn't explore much in road trips. He just wants to watch college football, call the game, and go home. The Texans last home game victory was week 16 of the 2021 season. Taylor thinks that this game will be a barnburner with the Colts and Texans both displaying a lot of young talent in this game.
