On the latest episode of The Solid Verbal, Dan and Ty recap a Week 8 filled with some leave-no-doubt results and address the following questions:

• What went right for Penn State to the point where they full-on ran away from Michigan, (allegedly) great Wolverine defense and all?

• What questions did Notre Dame answer with its dominant win over USC at home in South Bend?

• Following a narrow escape of Kansas State, will Oklahoma’s pedestrian defense hold them back from achieving their lofty postseason goals?

• After losing a brutal OT game to Oklahoma State, despite completely shutting down the high-powered Cowboys offense, when exactly will Texas break through and win a big game?

• What prevented Miami’s offense from fully separating from Syracuse?

• Now that Arizona and Arizona State are at least pretty good AND USC is vulnerable, could one of them be making an actual run at the Pac-12 South?

• How much do we love a (finally) healthy Derrius Guice after another huge RB performance for LSU vs. Ole Miss?

... and much more!
