On the latest episode of The Solid Verbal, Dan and Ty look at the Week 5 slate ahead and address the following questions:

• What MUST MUST MUST Virginia Tech do to stand a chance against Dabo Swinney and the Clemson machine?

• Does Washington State field a particularly tricky defense for USC and QB Sam Darnold?

• How might Indiana stay close in State College, Pa. vs. Penn State and Heisman Trophy front-runner RB Saquon Barkley?

• Is an improved Georgia being overestimated as they go on the road to Knoxville to take on RB John Kelly and a seemingly flat Tennessee?

• What stands out in the Auburn-Mississippi State matchup, a game featuring two offenses with disappointing 2017 moments?

• Where might Texas Tech be able to shine against QB Mason Rudolph and Oklahoma State?

• Is Iowa in danger of playing with a bit of letdown at Michigan State after their disappointing last-second loss to Penn State?

... and much more!
