The Rundown Take
Road Trip to Philly: U Talk Sends an Undefeated Miami Into the Rain Against Temple
A shorter Friday show ahead of a road trip — co-host George Diaz was headed to the airport mid-broadcast to catch the Temple game live, so the crew moved fast: a fantasy football recap, a farewell to George, and then straight into the matchup. Miami sits 3-0 for the first time in years, ranked and rising, and the only question on the table was whether a wet-weather trap game in Philadelphia could slow that down.
Key Takeaways
- Miami (3-0) travels to face Temple (1-2), 3:30 p.m. on ESPN2, with rain in the forecast and a bye week waiting on the other side.
- Mr. Magic calls in wanting Chaney to get "at least over 100 yards" in what he expects to be a run-heavy, muddy game, and wants four to five sacks from the pass rush.
- Larry Frank references Mario's press conference comments about fixing the defense's "wheel route" issue once the team hits the bye — a problem that's shown up on film multiple weeks running.
- Caller B Mike breaks down why transfer-heavy rosters like Florida State's are vulnerable in rivalry games — "these guys don't even know what the rivalry is about."
- The room debates a full slate of ranked games — Alabama-Ole Miss, Notre Dame-Ohio State, Florida State-Clemson and Colorado's road trip to Oregon.
Guarding Against a Letdown
Both hosts leaned hard into "respect the opponent" mode. Larry Frank pointed to Temple's leading wide receiver as reason enough to stay sharp, and reminded the chat that the bigger Miami gets, the bigger the bullseye — "we're starting to ascend." George Diaz, calling in from the road before his flight, said his only real concern was health: get out of Philadelphia with a win, keep the bye week for rest instead of triage, and roll into ACC play with the roster intact. Mr. Magic backed that up, predicting a heavy dose of the running game to control the clock in the mud and keep TVD out of harm's way.
"If they don't buy into what the program is about and what their program stands for, you're gonna lose that journey."
Wearing Two Colors
The Deion Sanders conversation followed the show again this week, this time framed around Miami alumni wearing Colorado gear. Devin pushed back on fans calling it disloyal, comparing it to former teammates from rival schools ending up on the same NFL roster — "y'all was our biggest rival, well guess what, I'm gonna hate you." His one condition: if Colorado and Miami ever actually play each other, those alumni had better be on the Miami sideline, full stop.
Bye Week on Deck
With George already headed to catch his flight, Larry Frank wrapped things up: win, stay healthy, and use the bye to get right before Georgia Tech and the start of ACC play. The show goes dark for a week after Temple, returning for the Georgia Tech hype show. Both hosts admitted the schedule gets real fast — but for one more week, the job is simple: don't overlook Temple, and get out of Philly in one piece.
