Let's actually dip in on some college football here.

Fill in the blank for me, if you would.

The first quarterback taken in the 2026 NFL draft will be... Ooh, God, that's a good question.

Ooh, that's a little because of the injuries and otherwise.

There was last spring in the 2025 draft, a lot of people saying, a lot of the experts were saying, don't take any of these guys, wait until 2026 because it's so QB rich.

But now we've seen Arch Manning probably fall back a little bit, Drew Aller.

And so it goes, why do you suppose the 10th overall pick in 2006 NFL draft, what's your opinion on this?

Why is QB evaluation in this millennium stagnant?

It's still so tough.

It's still like a 55-45 proposition.

I mean, I think that's exactly right.

If you're paying attention, you have to contextualize where you're dropping that guy.

I mean, West Coast offense for you seems optimal.

Who is the guy who you look at in the NFL now at that position and say, if he can do it, I could do it too.

I wish I would have been in that system in full health and all of that.

I was just going to say, I could see you going across football America down to South Beach and thriving in the Miami Dolphins system, as a matter of fact, as well.

I don't know if you heard, big one for the Trojans upcoming this Saturday against the arch rival, Notre Dame.

It is really one of the, if not the, most distinctive rivalries out there in sports.

I mean, one is in South Bend, Indiana.

The other is in the entertainment capital of the world.
