  Did NC State & UNC Wins Tell Us Anything? | Panthers Defense Spoils Young's Performance | App State Owns ECU | 09.14

  Sep 14, 20262h 11m

  There is a TON of football to break down on today's show Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio launch into a massive reaction episode covering the full slate of college and NFL action. TIMESTAMPS: 02:00 - What Did We Learn From NC State and UNC Beating FCS Teams? 18:00 - Can Manny Diaz Lead Duke Football to a 4-0 Start? 30:00 - Why Does App State Keep Beating ECU? 45:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate 48:30 - Shouldn't Have Gone To Bed After 3rd Quarter Texas vs. Ohio State 1:01:30 - Housekeeping 1:08:00 - Carolina Panthers Defense Historically Bad 1:25:00 - Did Bryce Young Prove Himself in the Shootout Against Caleb Williams? 1:38:00 - NFL Lightning Round 1:54:00 - Hey Joe Hour one focuses entirely on college football. The guys question what we actually learned from NC State and UNC taking care of business against FCS competition. These tune-ups set the stage for crucial "prove it" road matchups this weekend, with the Wolfpack heading to Vanderbilt and the Tar Heels traveling to face a Clemson squad that looks surprisingly gettable. Meanwhile, Duke is playing with a major chip on its shoulder after starting 2-0 against teams that beat them last season. The crew explains why Manny Diaz has done a hell of a job keeping the Blue Devils locked into the mission with a realistic path to 4-0. Plus, App State once again stuck it to ECU, raising questions about portal management and East Carolina's inability to get over the hump against the Mountaineers. In hour two, the guys pivot to the NFL, where the Carolina Panthers delivered a wild mixed bag. The good news? Bryce Young produced, going toe-to-toe with Caleb Williams and the prolific Chicago Bears offense. The bad news? Carolina’s high-priced defense collapsed, giving up a franchise-record 59 points and getting gashed on the ground. While fans are heated at DC Ejiro Evero, uncharacteristic mistakes from key veterans like Derrick Brown contributed to the demise. Finally, the guys tour the NFL: the Giants looking feisty, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson dominating the regular season, and why it’s time to question the media’s continued obsession with Justin Herbert and Jordan Love.

Plus, the guys run through the ACC coaching landscape to identify which head coaches are sitting on the hottest seats early in the season. Moving to the NFL, Joe and Joe examine why Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young remains one of the most polarizing figures in modern NC sports—dividing analysts, callers, and local media alike. Finally, the mailbag takes a nostalgic turn as the guys debate ultimate GoldenEye 007 N64 multiplayer setups (Complex vs. Facility, License to Kill, and the strict "No Oddjob" rule), before answering rapid-fire listener prompts.

Finally, the show features the Mountaineer Minute and No Quarter Hour with James Giglio ahead of ECU vs. App State, before answering a Hey Joe question on how it was possible for UNC to still commit recruiting violations when rules barely exist.
