Until Saturday: A show about college football

Andy joins Brody Miller in today's episode on Football & Grits to recap the most captivating headlines from week five, and the guys look ahead to week six action. Ole Miss orchestrated an impressive win over Kentucky, is there a real chance the Rebels could go 9-0? The Saban vs. Jimbo pay-per-view smackdown narrative has transformed since we previewed it in the off-season. Do the Aggies have enough firepower to compete with Bama? Should Jimbo seek out a new offensive mind to help him? Will A&M have more than a puncher's chance if Bryce Young can't play on Saturday? Andy and Brody look ahead to LSU vs. Tennessee, Mississippi State vs. Arkansas, and Missouri vs. Flordia. The pair also inspect Georgia's recent struggles.Watch the episode on Youtube:https://youtu.be/mH4KC-QAAzMJoin us on Run Your Pool:https://play.runyourpool.com/staplesFollow Andy on Twitter: @Andy_StaplesFollow Brody on Twitter: @BrodyAMiller Hosted on Acast.

A day after former Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema's Illinois team out-Badgered Wisconsin (with extreme prejudice) at Camp Randall, Wisconsin fired Paul Chryst. Chryst routinely had the Badgers racking up double-digit wins early in his tenure, but they've been sliding since 2019. Former Badgers defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard will be the interim coach. Can he earn the full-time job in the next seven games?Watch the episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/jtsBKxbDj1cJoin us on Run Your Pool:https://play.runyourpool.com/staplesFollow Andy on Twitter: @Andy_StaplesFollow Ari on Twitter: @AriWasserman Hosted on Acast.

State (Andy is all-in on DJ Uiagalelei); Mississippi State clobbering Texas A&M; Illinois out-Badgering Wisconsin; Purdue out-Gophering Minnesota, and much, much more.Watch the episode on YouTube:https://youtu.be/ay-QJepWFdMJoin us on Run Your Pool:https://play.runyourpool.com/staplesFollow Andy on Twitter: @Andy_StaplesFollow Ari on Twitter: @AriWasserman Hosted on Acast.
