After Jon Sumrall’s interview, Andy & Ari take a dive into last night’s Steve Spurrier awards, where Kirby Smart and Mario Cristobal hilariously roasted each other. Who had the better roast? Andy & Ari discuss.

On Monday night, news dropped of Army HC Jeff Monken being open to moving the date of the Army-Navy game. Is this the right path to go for the college football calendar? Would moving this game be the KEY to fixing the calendar?

To close, Andy & Ari discuss Bill Self’s remarkable Big Monday record.

Thanks for watching! Be sure to come back tomorrow to catch an interview with Washington head coach Jedd Fisch.
