Inside The Pylon: A Midwest College Football Podcast

Ryan and Clinton continue wading through the Midwest for summer/fall previews, tonight tackling the Nebraska Cornhuskers. To help break them down, Redcast Rob rejoins the show.Year 3 of Matt Rhule tenures have found success at both Temple and Baylor. After reaching a bowl game (Nebraska's first since 2016) in year two, what can we expect from this team in year 3? With a manageable schedule, is merely getting to a bowl game enough or are fans expecting an improvement on last year's 7-6 record?Offense figures to improve with a full offseason under OC Dana Holgorsen after his midseason takeover of the offense in 2024, and now-sophomore phenom Dylan Raiola has a full season of experience under his belt. To help bolster the passing attack, the Huskers hit the portal again and reeled in a combined 87 catches, 1,293 yards and 7 TDs from wide receivers Dane Key (Kentucky) and Nyziah Hunter (Cal). They also bolstered the O-line from the P4 ranks with OT Elijah Pritchett (Alabama) and OG Rocco Spindler (Notre Dame).On defense they must replace DC Tony White, who took the same job at Florida State. However plenty of portal reinforcements are on the way, headlined in the front 7 by former 5 star in the class of 2024, Williams Nwaneri from Missouri; edge Dasan McCullough -- who struggled in two years at Oklahoma but had four sacks as a freshman at Indiana in 2022; and 2024 Sun Belt defensive player of the year LB Marques Watson-Trent from Georgia Southern.

ITP's fall previews continue and Ryan and Clinton are joined by Ryan Burns from Gopher Illustrated on the 247 Sports Network to help break down Minnesota.A 7-5 regular season does not aptly summarize how close the Gophers were to being excellent in 2024, with four of the five defeats coming by 7 points or less, including a 1-point loss to national semifinalist Penn State. How can the Gophers close better in 2025? Offensively, QB Max Brosmer got better for PJ Fleck's squad as the season progressed. But with his graduation, Minnesota appears ready to turn the keys over to redshirt freshman Drake Lindsey. Is it his job to lose and what can we expect from an offense under his guide? They will need to reconstruct an offensive line that suffered portal and graduation/draft losses, but they've brought in four P4 transfers to help the cause.Defensively, the Gophers were elite in 2024, but replace coordinator Corey Heatherman -- now at Miami. Defensive pass game coordinator Danny Collins earned promotion, and he has plenty of chess pieces in the secondary to ensure they do not take a step back. Can we expect any schematic changes for the Minnesota defense?

ITP's fall previews continue and Ryan and Clinton are joined by Clayton Sayfie of The Wolverine to help break down Michigan.The first season of the Sherrone Moore era had some bumps along the road, but ended about as good as possible with wins against Ohio State to close the regular season, Alabama in the bowl game, and they closed the class of 2025 with a bang with 5-star QB Bryce Underwood. Even with two portal additions, will he open the season under center for Michigan? What can we expect from a pass catching unit that, outside of the since-drafted Colston Loveland, did not exactly set the world on fire in 2024?On defense, Michigan will have to replace a host of studs, particularly on the D-line following the departures of Mason Graham, Kenneth Grant and Josiah Stewart. Who is next-on-up on the d-line you should know? In the secondary, had star safety Rod Moore returned to full health following a spring 2024 ACL tear?

Ryan and Clinton continue their deep dive on the Big Ten with team fall previews, today touching on one of the trendiest "sleeper (?)" playoff selections of the 2025 offseason/preseason: the Illinois Illini. To help the guys break down Illinois, Sunny Verma from the Locked On Illinois podcast joins the show.Part of the hype surrounding Illinois is the plethora of offensive talent returning. The whole OL is back, as is QB Luke Altmyer -- fresh off a season in which he accounted for nearly 3,000 total yards and 26 TDs. Despite the loss of RB Josh McCray to the portal, they also return 4 of their 5 leading rushers from 2024. However, leading receivers Pat Bryant and Zakhari Franklin have moved on to the NFL. WVU transfer Hudson Clement had 51 catches last season, but who are other names to know out wide?The Illini defense had some rough patches last year, but likewise return a plethora of talent/experience. How can this unit improve from 2024, and what can we expect from them in 2025?Join us on our Youtube channel live Sunday/Monday/Thursday for shows, with the episode dropping in your podcast feed the following morning.

It's hotter than hell outside but it's officially a month away from the onset of preseason fall camps, so it's time for us to dig back into team previews. We start with the Northwestern Wildcats, and joining us to help break them down is Matt Shelton from Wildcat Report.QB play was a challenge for the Wildcats last year, so they hit the portal to bring in former SMU starter Preston Stone; is it a foregone conclusion that he will start, and if so what are expectations in year two of Zach Lujan's offense. Whoever ends up being QB will need help out wide. Enter South Dakota State transfer Griffin Wilde, who had nearly 1200 yards receiving a year ago. What can we expect from him.On defense, Northwestern hit the portal hard to help improve a pass defense that was 89th last year. How can that unit improve this season?Join us on our Youtube channel live Sunday/Monday/Thursday for shows, with the episode dropping in your podcast feed the following morning.

Following completion of spring overviews, Ryan and Clinton formally wrap up ITP's spring football calendar with a snapshot view of their as-it-stands Big Ten power rankings.

Ryan and Clinton officially wrap up spring season with the defending national runners up, talking the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. To help the guys break down ND, they welcome back Jack Soble from Blue and Gold Illustrated on the On3 network to the show.ND's three-man QB battle self-reduced to two in late April, with returning No. 2 man Steve Angeli heading to Syracuse via the portal. Where do things stand between redshirt sophomore Kenny Minchey and hyped redshirt freshman CJ Carr heading into summer? Whoever wins the job will be protected by an OL that blossomed from a unit that walked into College Station to begin 2024 with 6 combined starts, to what could be the best unit in the country in 2025; and will hand the ball off to all-everything back Jeremiyah Love (plus a host of blue chippers behind him). But with the QB run seemingly being less of a play in 2025, how will a once-again re-vamped receiver room shoulder the load?On defense, the Irish got a taste of life after Benjamin Morrison due to his early October injury -- which saw the emergence of freshman All-American CB Leonard Moore. But how will the Irish replace former Defensive Player of the Year Xavier Watts at safety? In the front 7, the Irish must replace 4th round pick Jack Kiser at LB, as well as former All-American DTs Rylie Mills and Howard Cross, but will get a boon from a return to health for rush ends Jordan Botelho and Boubacar Traore ... who are some other names to know?

Clinton and Ryan continue rolling through spring previews with extra special bonus content, tonight bringing some MACtion to ITP.To help the guys dive deep on the conference, Alex Scheer of the MAC Sports Connection joins the show. After a wild rematch of the Battle of the Bricks in last year's MAC Title game, the two teams have been going in opposite directions in terms of roster building. Champion Ohio once again lost key contributors in the transfer portal and head coach Tim Albin defected to Charlotte. Meanwhile, runner up Miami went on the offensive and landed arguably the biggest addition in the conference of the offseason, bringing Baylor QB and former MAC Player of the Year Dequan Finn back to the league. What can we look for from these two squads?Staying in Ohio, Bowling Green appeared to be in a tough spot when head coach Scot Loeffler left late in the cycle for the NFL. But the Falcons seemingly hit a home run bringing Tennessee State head coach Eddie George back to the Buckeye state. What are realistic expectations for the Falcons?After a bit of a down year in 2024, can Jason Candle bring perennial MAC power Toledo back to the conference title game?

Ryan and Clinton wrap up the Big Ten portion of their spring previews with a trek through California discussing USC and UCLATo help the guys break down the Trojans, Marc Kulkin from WeAreSC.com and the Locked on Trojans podcast joins the show. After two seasons that did not look all that different from the Clay Helton era, is Lincoln Riley on the hot seat in 2025? A lot turns over from an offense that was good in 2024, but took a step back from the Caleb Williams era. Can Jayden Maiava be the next Riley Stud QB, or will freshman Husan Longstreet give him a run for his money? Defensively, the unit took a big step forward under new DC D'Anton Lynn but still had issues stopping the run. Can that unit continue progressing in 2025?Across town in Westwood, UCLA made big waves in the spring portal window by indirectly trading QBs with Tennessee, bringing former 5-start recruit Nico Iamaleava (and his 4-star true freshman younger bronger) back to California. After a surprising 5-7 debut season under new HC Deshaun Foster in 2024, will the new QB help get the Bruins to bowl eligibility?

Ryan and Clinton return to further break down the Big Ten in the spring, today discussing the Washington Huskies. To help out the guys welcome back Roman Tomashoff from Locked on Huskies.A Big Ten newcomer in 2024, the Huskies faced a stark rebuild in 2024. New head coach Jedd Fisch was able to do reasonably well with a 6-7 season. However disciple issues hampered Washington in multiple games. How is this being addressed in the offseason? On offense, QB Demond Williams started as an electric package player, and eventually took starting reigns away from Will Rogers. With a strong receiver group, led by Denzel Boston, what can we expect from Williams and this offense in 2025? Defensively, to reach their full potential, the Huskies will need an improvement from a rush defense that allowed 161 yards per game in 2024 and was gashed by the better opponents on the schedule.Join us on our Youtube channel live Sunday/Monday/Thursday for shows, with the episode dropping in your podcast feed the following morning.

Ryan and Clinton hit the homestretch touching on their first looks at the Big Ten in 2025, with Rutgers and Northwestern next up. Rutgers had high expectations in 2024, mostly mediated by what was viewed as an exceptionally favorable schedule. The Scarlet Knights were still able to attain a bowl berth -- a 44-41 loss to Kansas State -- but a 7-5 regular season felt like something was left on the table. Injuries decimated this defense a year ago, and much of the defensive backfield has graduated. Will a bevy of transfer portal additions help shore up a unit that was 70th in scoring defense a year ago? Or will a schedule that features three likely preseason top-10 teams be too much to handle?The Lakehouse returns for an encore in 2025 for Northwestern, but the Wildcats are hoping this year brings more success than last's 4-8 campaign. After a failed portal foray with Mike Wright, Northwestern goes back to the portal for new QB Preston Stone, who was impressive in 2023 but was ultimately benched for Kevin Jennings during SMU's surpise 2024 playoff run. Can he rediscover his old form? He'll need to quickly establish chemistry with a WR room that is severely lacking on experience outside of South Dakota St transfer Griffin Wilde. On defense, Northwestern returns plenty in the front seven but will need growth from its returnees to bolster a unit that accumulated only 23 sacks a year ago.Join us on our Youtube channel live Sunday/Monday/Thursday for shows, with the episode dropping in your podcast feed the following morning.

Clinton and Ryan continue their journey through the Big Ten as spring ball wraps up around the country, discussing Illinois and Minnesota.In Champaign, Bret Bielema's squad had a passive breakthrough in 2024, culminating with a bowl victory against South Carolina to hit 10-wins. Led by QB Luke Altmyer and a plethora of returning talent, the Illini have become a trendy playoff sleeper pick for 2025. Is this hype warranted? In Minneapolis, the Gophers rebounded from a subpar 2023 season to once again hit 8 wins in 2024, and several close defeats undersell how good this team actually was. Several key contributors move on, but vibes are good entering 2025.

On the latest episode of Inside the Pylon, Clinton flies "host solo" as Ryan checked Little Caesar's Arena off his arena checklist. But he was joined by Redcast Rob from the Go Big Redcast to help break down the Cornhuskers heading into 2025.What are expectations in year 3 for Matt Rhule? Freshman QB phenom Dylan Raiola was perfectly fine in his debut act, but now with a full offseason in OC Dana Holgerson's system (and exceptional reinforcements at the WR position) what can we expect for an encore? On defense, the unit was exceptional the last two years under Tony White, but with his departure to Florida State (and the promotion of secondary coach John Butler to DC) what can we expect from this unit in 2025? Clinton also hangs around to talk Michigan. Depending on your outlook to last year's team, it went either as expected or was a disappointment in year one under Sherrone Moore. A 7-5 regular season finished with a shocking win against hated rival (and eventual national champion) Ohio State, and the Wolverines stunned Alabama in a bowl game. But heading into 2025, an offense that lagged for much of last season gets a much-needed boon with the importing of new OC Chip Lindsay from North Carolina, and with heralded freshman QB Bryce Underwood. However, the Wolverines do lose what could end up being four first-round picks to the NFL draft, and still have a dearth of wide receivers. What can we expect in year two of the Moore era?Join us on our Youtube channel live Sunday/Monday/Thursday for shows, with the episode dropping in your podcast feed the following morning.

Ryan and Clinton continue discussing the Big Ten heading into 2025 with their spring previews, tonight touching on Iowa and Michigan State.To help break down the Hawkeyes, Jeffrey the Greek from the Eyes on Big Ten podcast joins the show. In 2024 the Hawkeyes offense, despite continued issues at the QB position, took a notable step forward under first-year OC Tim Lester. What can we expect in year two? Is South Dakota St transfer Mark Gronowski a shoe-in to start despite offseason surgery? With several graduations on defense, what will the unit look like in 2025?In East Lansing, Jonathan Smith's Spartans had a 3-0 start before a 2-7 finish to 2024.

What are early returns on Cal transfer QB Fernando Mendoza?Ryan Day and Ohio State finally broke through to claim a national title in 2024.

Ryan and Clinton return to continue breaking down early looks at the Big Ten for the 2025 season, talking two programs with pivotal seasons ahead in Oregon and Wisconsin.Dale Bliss returns to the show to help us break down Oregon. In Eugene, Dan Lanning's Ducks took a huge step forward with a 12-0 regular season followed by a Big Ten title. However they bowed out in short order in their first playoff game.

Ryan and Clinton to return to pick the games.In Thursday night's Orange Bowl, Penn State and Notre Dame meet for the first time since a 2006-07 home and home. The teams have taken different paths to arrive to this point, with Penn State dispatching SMU and Boise State following a Big Ten Title Game loss to Oregon, while the Irish are winners of 12 straight with playoff wins against Indiana and Georgia. Can James Franklin etch a massive, signature win for his program? Or will Marcus Freeman fulfill the "third year head coach at ND" prophecy by bringing his team to a National Title Game?In Friday's Cotton Bowl, it's a pseudo-home-game for Texas against Ohio State in what is expected to be a snowy Dallas, and is a prelude to a 2025 non-conference matchup. Can former Ohio State QB Quinn Ewers get Texas over the hump after falling short in the semifinals a year ago, or will the Ohio State playoff machine keep churning toward Atlanta?Join us on our Youtube channel live Sunday/Monday/Thursday for shows, with the episode dropping in your podcast feed the following morning.

We have reached the Final Four. Texas. Ohio State. Penn State. Notre Dame. Four programs who have not won a title in at least a decade (or longer), and four head coaches whom have never taken home college football's greatest prize. To break down the all-midwest semifinal featuring Penn State and Notre Dame, Matt Flip from the Roar Lions Roar Podcast returns for a round-table discussion with resident Notre Dame fan Ryan. Health will be a gigantic key in this game. Already decimated by injuries, the Irish saw All-American DT Howard Cross III sustain an aggravation to a previous ankle injury, while stud RB Jeremiyah Love limped off the field against Georgia and did not return. On the other side of the field, All-American DE Abdul Carter sustained a shoulder injury against Boise State. What's the latest on these gentlemen 72 hours before kickoff? What are keys to the game? And are these programs actually the same team? That and more in this playoff preview extravaganza.Join us on our Youtube channel live Sunday/Monday/Thursday for shows, with the episode dropping in your podcast feed the following morning.

Ryan and Clinton both survived the cold this weekend and return to discuss takeaways from the first ever weekend of the 12-team College Football Playoff. Notre Dame boa-constricted Indiana, while Penn State and Ohio State both took slightly more violent approaches to their own advancements to the quarterfinals. Despite what should have been a celebrated, banner weekend for the sport, much of the external noise surrounded worthiness of appearance. This was parroted very publicly, often on the broadcast while the game was happening. Ryan and Clinton take aim at the bad-faith takes. Later, they talk about their own experiences this weekend in South Bend and Columbus, respectively.Join us on our Youtube channel live Sunday/Monday/Thursday for shows, with the episode dropping in your podcast feed the following morning.

Ryan and Clinton return tonight for another playoff preview episode, this time bringing you the second in a two-part series look at a couple of non-Midwest squads that will be dueling Big Ten foes this weekend.Austin Brown from Channel TN joins us to break down the Volunteers ahead of their matchup with Ohio State. An explosive start to the season had many high on Tennessee, but their offense fell back to earth in a big way once SEC play started, highlighted by back-to-back weekends against Arkansas and Florida where they scored 42 combined points and needed OT against the Gators to avoid a second loss. They seemed to find footing offensively -- Georgia game aside -- as the scheduled re-softened, but how do they match up against the talented Ohio State defense? The run game has been exceptional with Dylan Sampson, but is the pass game good enough to keep Ohio State honest? Defensively, a line led by James Pearce looks to give Ohio State the same trouble it faced blocking Michigan last time out.

How have the rebounded from an early-season loss to reach the playoff? What has the full-time switch to Kevin Jennings at QB meant for the offense, and how have they been able to be so explosive despite a dearth of injuries at both WR and RB?

Playoff week is here! The inaugural 12-team college football playoff finally graces us with its presence this weekend and the very first game if this new era is an exceptional treat for fans of midwest college football: a renewed Battle of Indiana between the upstart Indiana Hoosiers -- 11-1 for the first time ever in Curt Cignetti's first season at the helm -- and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish -- 11-1 themselves following a 10-game winning streak that has followed arguably the most embarrassing loss in program history to Northern Illinois in week2 of the season.We have a 2-part special show to break down the game for you. In the first half of the show, Sammy Jacobs of Hoosier Huddle returns to break down the Indiana portion of the game. What lessons have the team learned from the Ohio State game? How can they shut down Notre Dame's rushing attack? Will a sea of red once again make an appearance in South Bend?In the second half of the show, Jack Soble from Blue and Gold Illustrated returns to the show to break down the Notre Dame half of the game. How will the vaunted Irish defense respond after getting worked against USC last time out? Are star running back Jeremiyah Love, and defensive tackle Howard Cross III healthy, and if so how will that impact the game? How will offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock plan to attack an Indiana defense that has been equally stingy this season?Join us on our Youtube channel live Sunday/Monday/Thursday for shows, with the episode dropping in your podcast feed the following morning.
