How do you put a bow on 65-7?

Richard and Alex try their best to sum up what Georgia did to TCU on Monday night. The Dawgs had a great plan, and they also had an otherworldly ability to find a chip on their shoulder. But Alex doesn't even think Georgia fans are the happiest fans of the weekend, because South Dakota State fans also exist. Plus some housekeeping to end our third season as a podcast.

Dead Letters: A Tulane Football Story

Please enjoy this Split Zone Duo Patreon special from our miniseries "Dead Letters." Initially released in July 2022, the three-episode series is a scripted-ish look at college football programs that had enormous success or potential and then ran into problems of either their environment or their own making. The first episode is about the Tulane Green Wave, who were once a contemporary of (and a threat to) LSU in Louisiana college football. Then one university president set about changing that. Here is the story of what happened before and after, along with an interview with Tulane historian Lenny Vangilder. If you enjoy this episode, you might enjoy more of what we do at splitzoneduo.com. Links to episodes 2 and 3 on Nebraska and Arkansas follow.

The Freeze image machine and Champs Weekend

Godfrey, Richard, and Alex dive into the rehabilitation of Hugh Freeze's public image, and how Freeze's camp, Liberty, Auburn, and helpful media helped land him the big chair at Auburn. Then, let's talk about every conference championship game. Does an injured Utah have the firepower for USC? Are you aware of what UNT QB Austin Aune is doing? How much more can Toledo fans (or Ohio fans, for that matter) take? Is K-State going to run it well against TCU? Can LSU's freshman tackles hold up against UGA? What is there to be excited about in the MWC? How would we handicap UCF vs. Tulane? What is the deal with UNC's offense? Could Purdue possibly do it again? (We're not banking on it.)
