Former Baylor Defensive Coordinator and longtime college football coach Phil Bennett joins the show to break down a wild weekend across the sport, including Texas A&M’s dramatic comeback, Oklahoma’s defensive resurgence under Brent Venables, and the pressure building on programs throughout the SEC and Big 12. Bennett offers candid insight into tricky play-calling moments, Alabama’s struggles against OU’s pressure packages, and why Georgia’s aggressive mindset under Kirby Smart is so effective.

He also delivers an unfiltered, deeply informed look at Baylor’s collapse against Utah — discussing schematic issues, defensive fits, leadership uncertainty and the broader implications for Dave Aranda’s future. Bennett closes by evaluating James Franklin’s hire at Virginia Tech and sharing reflections on incarnate Word, Stephen F. Austin, and development across the Southland Conference.
