#491: Miami Week 2 Preview vs FAMU | It's Broken for Today

Miami's home opener spread against Florida A&M is up near 56 and a half, and Ro, Scoop, Toast, and Jenners open the show wondering if that's even a real point spread or just a weather advisory. From there it's a full lap around the sport: the Hurricanes get snubbed out of a Top 25 ballot entirely (an actual human forgot to include them), Nick Saban goes on College GameDay and picks Miami to win the national title, and the guys spend a long stretch on why Malachi Toney has turned into the best receiver in the country, Michael Irvin audio included.

There's real injury news mixed into the chaos, too. OJ's shoulder situation gets a timeline (probably not back until November), and the crew works through what that means for a secondary that's also missing Antoine and leaning on a true freshman. On the national side, Sam Darnold goes down with a hip injury in the opener, which somehow turns into the show's title. Clemson gets run out of its own building in an ACC-opener disaster, and Florida State's stadium lights go dark on national TV, kicking off a long, detailed breakdown of just how broke that athletic department actually is.

Football gets a real preview too: Florida A&M lines, player props, over/unders, keys to the game, and score predictions for tonight, plus a full slate of Week 2 games around the country including the Ohio State-Texas showdown in Austin. Weekly picks standings get updated, and the guys close with a look ahead to Wake Forest.

Basically: rankings drama, receiver worship, a coordinator you've never heard of who's quietly great, and a stadium that can't keep the lights on. Business as usual.

GO CANES!!!
