Shedeur Sanders completed 24 of 26 passes for 445 yards with four TDs and one of the weirdest INTs you’ll ever see.
But he wound up in a duel with Cam Miller, who threw for 277 yards and a touchdown and ran for 81 yards and two touchdowns.
Colorado only averaged 2.6 yards per rush but 13.1 yards per pass.
They allowed 11.2 yards per attempt

Then Dan and Ty join for our game. Andy makes three statements, and Dan and Ty have to identify which is the lie.
Here are a few of the topics:
The Big Ten
Oregon and Ohio State will play at least twice this season
Nebraska at Iowa will have College Football Playoff implications
How much does NIL REALLY factor in recruiting/transfer choices? | Which QB will Texas land in 2025?
Episode 211
Thursday, April 11, 2024 • Duration 01:05:06
It’s a very special Dear Andy, because we’re joined by On3’s newest star. Steve Wiltfong, the greatest recruiting reporter on the planet, has joined the company as the VP of recruiting and transfer portal.
Steve and Andy will answer your questions, including…
(0:00-2:02) Intro with Steve Wiltfong
(2:03-5:42) Bear Alexander - Transfer Portal Update
(5:43-9:02) John Calipari Introduced at Arkansas
(9:03-16:35) NIL with 4 & 5 Stars
(16:36-24:38) Keeping Up with Spring Football
(24:39-32:31) Dabo Swinney Strategy

(1:01:34-1:04:08) Conclusion with Steve
(1:04:09-1:05:06) Wrapping Up
For four- and five-star recruits, what percent of decisions are coming down to an extra 10-20 percent of NIL? Or is it even possible to know?
With Dabo Swinney’s refusal to embrace the transfer portal, do you think it is at all possible for him and Clemson to return to the success that they were at a few years ago? Is he a good enough recruiter and/or developer of talent to not need the transfer portal at all? And do you think there is any coach in the country who could succeed with this strategy (not taking players from the portal) besides Dabo?
John Calipari says GOODBYE to Kentucky | The transfer portal bubbles | Georgia spring game preview
Episode 210
Wednesday, April 10, 2024 • Duration 01:07:09
John Calipari has said goodbye to Kentucky but has yet to officially say hello to Arkansas. Andy breaks down farewell videos from John and Ellen Calipari and handicaps the Kentucky hoops coaching search.

(37:15-1:05:49) Jake Rowe from Dawgs HQ joins
(1:05:50-1:07:09) Dear Andy Tomorrow! andystapleson3@gmail.com
Meanwhile, the football transfer portal is about to get some action. The window for undergraduate transfers doesn’t open until Monday, but two big names indicated on Tuesday that they plan to enter the portal when it opens. USC defensive tackle Bear Alexander — perhaps the biggest mover in last year’s spring portal when he went from Georgia to the Trojans — plans to move again. Meanwhile, Oregon State tailback Damien Martinez — who averaged 6.1 yards a carry for the Beavers last year — also plans to enter the portal.
The basketball portal remains busy as well. Indiana State’s Robbie Avila — affectionately known as Cream Abdul-Jabbar or Larry Nerd — has entered his name into the portal. Is he following former Sycamores coach Josh Schertz to Saint Louis? Or is he looking elsewhere?
In a Tallahassee courtroom, a judge denied the ACC’s request to stay Florida State’s lawsuit against the league. A North Carolina judge denied Florida State’s request last week to stay the ACC’s suit against the Seminoles in that state. That means things are about to get pretty messy, and the suits involving Clemson and the ACC in South Carolina and North Carolina haven’t even gotten rolling yet.
UConn BLASTS Purdue to make it two consecutive national titles | Waiting on Coach Cal and Arkansas
Episode 209
Tuesday, April 9, 2024 • Duration 01:07:05
UConn is the national champion for the second consecutive season after dominating Purdue in the national title game on Monday night. Boilermakers star Zach Edey scored 37 points, but the Huskies held Purdue to only seven 3-point shots all game, and Purdue only made one. Meanwhile, four UConn starters scored in double figures. Guard Tristen Newton led the way with 20 points.
(0:00-4:18) Intro - UConn wins back to back titles

(1:05:58-1:07:04) Nakosifications on the Way, Talk to you tomorrow
Where does UConn rank among the nation’s top programs after six national titles since 1999? Where does Huskies coach Dan Hurley rank among basketball coaches working today? On3’s James Fletcher III helps Andy break it down.
Meanwhile, we’re still waiting for official word that John Calipari is leaving Kentucky for Arkansas. That should come Tuesday, but a few potential Kentucky candidates have already removed their names from consideration.

(58:18-1:09:45) National Title Game Preview with James Fletcher III
(1:09:46-1:10:45) Conclusion: Tennessee hires Kim Caldwell as next women's basketball coach
ESPN and multiple Arkansas media outlets are reporting that Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari is in talks to take the same job at Arkansas. Calipari, who has been under fire at Kentucky for early NCAA Tournament exits, would reset his clock. Arkansas would get the splash hire it desires after losing Eric Musselman to USC. Kentucky, meanwhile, gets to hire a new coach without paying Calipari a penny. Andy and On3's James Fletcher III discuss what it all means.
On Sunday, South Carolina avenged its last loss and capped a perfect season with an 87-75 win against Iowa in Sunday’s national title game. Mike Uva of On3’s Gamecock Central joins to discuss how coach Dawn Staley’s team maintained its dominance all season. Iowa’s Caitlin Clark finished her college career with a 30-point game, but it wasn’t enough to slow the Gamecocks.

It’s a Dear Andy show, but first we’ve got to talk about a very interesting development. The Athletic reported on Wednesday that a group of movers and shakers — including multiple university presidents, a key search firm executive and a high-ranking NFL executive — are trying to create a college football super league that would provide a workable path forward (read: less lawsuits) while also not cutting out more than half the current FBS teams.

(1:09:15-1:11:31) Conclusion/Wrapping Up - Dear Andy Tomorrow! andystapleson3@gmail.com
On3 national writer Jesse Simonton joins Andy to debate which teams have a real chance to win the 2024 college football national title. Jesse wrote a column this week detailing which teams had real chances to be the first champion to emerge from a 12-team College Football Playoff.
That format matters a lot. A team now must win at least three and possibly four consecutive games against the best of the best to claim the national title. Who is deep enough to survive that gauntlet? But Andy wonders if any team is deep enough in the transfer portal era to avoid a surprise loss.
USC will finish above .500 in Big Ten play
The SEC
Either Texas or Oklahoma will make the SEC title game
Either Texas or Oklahoma will finish .500 or worse in league play
Georgia will lose two road games
The conferences
A team will win a conference title in its first year in its new league
The national champion will not play in a conference title game
At least two power conference title games will be rematches of regular-season games
Can you spot the lies?

Mike also fills us in on South Carolina’s spring football practice. The Gamecocks are coming off a 5-7 season and face a rough schedule that includes games against LSU, Alabama, Ole Miss and Oklahoma.
James returns to preview Monday’s men’s national title game. We’re getting the best big man matchup in years in 7-foot-4 Purdue center Zach Edey versus 7-2 UConn center Donovan Clingan. The Huskies have mauled every team in their path the past two NCAA tournaments. Can the Boilermakers keep them from repeating?

It’s a packed Friday! We’ve got two Final Fours to talk about. We’ve also got some football.
It’s Iowa against UConn and South Carolina against N.C. State in the women’s Final Four, and all eyes are on Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and UConn’s Paige Bueckers. Clark always wanted to play for UConn, but Bueckers was the prized player the Huskies recruited in the class of 2020. Only one will lead her team to the national title game.
Meanwhile, two N.C. State basketball teams are trying to shock the world. The N.C. State women play undefeated South Carolina, while the Wolfpack men will face Purdue on Saturday.
We’ll also be talking N.C. State football. The Wolfpack play their spring game on Saturday, and so does Clemson. So we’re bringing in the great Roddy Jones of the ACC Network to discuss the biggest storylines in the league. And Roddy is very intrigued by new N.C. State quarterback Grayson McCall.
Also, Nebraska’s quarterbacks met the media Thursday, which meant we got to see freshman Dylan Raiola’s first interview as a Cornhusker. Andy breaks it down.
Next, On3’s James Fletcher III joins to discuss the men’s Final Four. Can UConn keep covering every spread, or can Alabama challenge the Huskies in a shootout? How will the matchup of N.C. State’s D.J. Burns Jr. and Purdue’s Zach Edey play out?

The idea, brought forward by a group that includes NFL No. 2 Brian Rolapp and search firm executive Len Perna, would include all the current FBS programs but would be split into multiple divisions. There would be promotion and relegation between divisions. The league would serve as the employer for the players and would collectively bargain with the players.
Andrew Marchand, who wrote The Athletic story along with Stewart Mandel, joins to discuss why they’re going public now and if there is any real chance this might happen. Spoiler alert: The Big Ten, the SEC and the TV networks do not seem supportive.
Next, Andy answers your questions:
How many college football games in 2024 will have more viewers than the LSU-Iowa women’s Elite Eight game played Monday?
Is there a college football equivalent to the way referees call games involving Purdue basketball star Zach Edey?
How many games does Kalen DeBoer have to win in year one at Alabama to keep the fanbase happy?
And much, much more…

Next, Spencer Holbrook of On3’s Lettermen Row joins to talk Ohio State as the Buckeyes — one of the teams that definitely belong on the can-win-the-national-title-list — continue spring practice. This is the most loaded Ohio State roster in years, but how do the pieces fit together? Is Kansas State transfer Will Howard definitely QB1, or does Devin Brown still have a chance? How does Alabama transfer Caleb Downs change the defense? Is receiver Jeremiah Smith, the nation’s top recruit in the class of 2024, as good as advertised?
