Don’t worry, we’re still hungry.

On the latest episode of The Solid Verbal, Dan and Ty recap a busy (and action-packed!) Week 9 and hit the following topics and questions:

• After Ohio State came back late to beat a Penn State team scoring with some smoke and mirrors (well, and an amazing Saquon Barkley return) how great was it to see J.T. Barrett FINALLY break through in a big game vs. a good team?

• What the hell happened to Kenny Hill and TCU on the road vs. Iowa State? Also, hi, Cyclones, you’ve now beaten the two teams people have thought to be the best teams in the conference and now you can win 8-9 games. Amazing.

• After another thorough performance, this time against Wazzu, what more does Arizona QB Khalil Tate need to do to enter the Heisman race?

• What combination of Alabama, Georgia, Penn State, Clemson, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Washington, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin make up each of our top four teams?

• How did Georgia so thoroughly lay waste to Florida? (show recorded before news of Gator head coach Jim McElwain’s firing)

... and much more!
