Do not let them have it!

On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) tried to keep this thing on the tracks in the lead-up to March Madness.

No, Matt Leinart will not let you have his USC jersey number!

No, the guys do not think Kirby Smart would be a good college basketball coach.

That being said, P.J. Fleck already looks good in a sweater vest, so maybe he has a blossoming career for him on the hardwood he does not know about...

Row, row, row your boat, gently down the lane.

So how good is your favorite team's starting quarterback really?

On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided) flew solo like a cup with Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) frolicking somewhere in Colorado with the NC State podcast.

Buhler started the show off with a bang reacting to Bill Connelly's Power Four quarterback rankings for ESPN.

He then addressed the NCAA's beef with Trinidad Chambliss trying to playin for Ole Miss again, as well as Arvell Reese's position-less nature coming out of Ohio State ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft.

From there, Buhler looked at the great job Mario Cristobal is doing recruiting at his alma mater of Miami, as well as hoping Jon Sumrall becomes a patient man while leading Florida.

To wrap this thing up, Buhler looked at what the Miami RedHawks did under Travis Steele this season on the hardwood and tried to forecast what Power Four teams could go undefeated in the regular season on the gridiron next year.

To tie a bow on this program, Buhler asked Cody about if Fernando Mendoza's magical 2025 season at Indiana could be replicated for a Heisman Trophy virgin school before taking this thing off the track with some good, old-fashioned LSR.
