Colin Cowherd Podcast - USC & Miami Dominate, Darian Mensah #1 QB? LSU Has A Big Problem Sep 05, 2026

Show notes

USC is 2-0 and hasn't been tested, so Colin goes looking for what's real: NFL bodies on both lines, four freshmen starting, and a quarterback in Jayden Maiava who's played his way into first-round talk. His verdict is a top-ten team with a schedule that still decides everything. Along the way: why college football has no leadership and never will, what the WNBA's commissioner shakeup says about the same problem, why Darian Mensah is now the best quarterback in the country, and why Lane Kiffin's LSU noise is going to backfire.

Timeline:

0:00 USC 39-0, and college football's leadership problem

3:17 The fix nobody will make: kill the non-conference season

6:41 Bowman, Mosley, Dixon-Wyatt and the freshman wave

10:26 Ten freshmen, no more redshirts, and Maiava's rise
