Quote of the day

“I’d put money on it right now, and I don’t know how we grade it: this is the best defense in college football, by far. think this team raced out to 100 PBUs last year by game seven. That’s not going to change. You got Kalen King at cornerback, Abdul Carter and Curtis [Jacobs] at linebacker. Both play excellent pass coverage.

“Then, when you go to the offensive side of the ball, I saw Nick Singleton in the Rose Bowl. I mean, he’s just unbelievable in space.”

The Action Network analyst Collin Wilson on the ‘Big Bets on Campus’ podcast.
