Another ugly game, but Michigan showed some new life with backup QB Tommy Carr getting his shot in the second half. He didn’t seem to miss a beat and was ready to go when his number was called. Will this new life for Michigan carry them to a win against Indiana next week? To wrap things up, Bowden, Ian, and Korbin will talk about Ohio State at Indiana. This was another defensive battle that left both teams’ quarterbacks banged up.

Bowden & Ian are back with the Week 6 recap! On today’s show, the guys break down Iowa at Washington, Indiana at Nebraska, and UCLA at Oregon. They open with Iowa’s BIG win over Washington. Backup QB Jeremy Hecklinski lit it up for the Hawkeyes, making a strong case that the quarterback competition should’ve never ended. Iowa also finally found its run game against a P4 opponent for the first time this season.Who should be Iowa’s QB moving forward? Next, Bowden & Ian dive into Indiana at Nebraska. The Huskers controlled the game until a pair of quick strikes from Hoover to Marsh flipped everything — long touchdowns, a full comeback, and Indiana handing Nebraska its first loss of the year.Despite the win, is Indiana dealing with a hangover season? Then they recap UCLA at Oregon. Dylan Raiola and the Ducks didn’t really show up, while UCLA — powered by RB Wayne Knight — took control and earned a huge road victory. Oregon now has to win out to keep any playoff hopes alive.Can UCLA sustain this level and become a dark‑horse playoff team? A great weekend of B1G football, and a great recap. ENJOY!

Bowden is back — and this time he’s joined by his friend Ian, filling in while Korbin is away. In this Week 5 recap, the guys break down Penn State getting dismantled by Northwestern, Washington hanging tough at USC, and Ohio State rolling into Kinnick Stadium to hand the previously undefeated Hawkeyes their first loss. They open with Penn State at Northwestern, where the Nittany Lions — already reeling from a rough showing against Wisconsin — failed to rebound. Northwestern leaned heavily on the ground game and consistently found ways to expose Penn State’s weaknesses. Next up is Washington at USC. USC hasn’t looked sharp this season, coming off a blowout loss to Oregon and now a narrow four‑point win. Washington, meanwhile, finally seems to have a pulse and could be a team worth watching over the next few weeks to see if they can sustain this momentum.Does USC truly pass the eye test as a playoff contender? Then Bowden & Ian dive into Ohio State at Iowa. Iowa’s undefeated season came to an end, and Bowden still isn’t sold on the Hawkeyes’ quarterback situation. Ohio State looked dominant on both sides of the ball, while Iowa’s offense struggled to generate much of anything.What does this loss mean for the Hawkeyes moving forward? A fun, lively recap you won’t want to miss. ENJOY!
