Week 6 is here and Bruce Feldman joined Y-Option to break it all down. Bruce was a student reporter at “The U”, as in Miami, and the West Coast is abuzz as College GameDay heads to Berkeley for the first time EVER! He offers insight and analysis into Mario Cristobal’s team, which Bruce thinks is their most talented team in 20 years.Having played on the same field as that team 22 years ago, I’d have to agree.This year's ‘Canes may not be better, but they have a QB who is simply special in Cam Ward.Former Cal WR, founder of Elite 11, and mentor Andy Bark reminded me today that the state of California has always had an impact on the QB position at Miami. Players like Heisman winner Gino Torretta, Ken Dorsey, Kyle Wright, Brad Kaaya and more have been gone from the Golden State to QB1 for the Hurricanes. Ironically, the Cal Bears starting QB Fernando Mendoza hails from Miami and Christopher Columbus High School, which Mario Cristobal also attended. To add to it, Cristobal was high school teammates with Mendoza’s father, Fernando Sr. To say the college football community is small is an understatement when it comes to this Miami/Cal matchup.We also explore a conversation around how head coaches navigate the “Financial Chemistry” of their locker room, as players are requesting redshirts before playing in four games and exhausting that season’s eligibility.When it comes to the rest of the West Coast, the Big-12 is wide open after Arizona’s win over Utah and a huge part of that is Noah Fifita, who also won our That Dude! award this week after his role in the victory. Just like our conversation with Bruce Feldman, all of our Go Go Go Award winners are fueled by our founding partner 76…..And on the final day of September, we also dive into the College Football Playoff, set the record straight on how to get in and who the Cougs and Beavs should be rooting for the rest of the season.As always, thank you for the love and support wherever you may be watching and be sure to follow us on YouTube for content all week long.Much love,YogiThis episode was executive produced by Jim Thornby and edited by Victor Ren.This podcast is a Best Coast Media production.
