Lane Kiffin to LSU; Rivalry Week: OSU Wins The Game, Texas Victorious in the Lonestar Showdown, Bama Survives the Iron Bowl

What’s up, everybody!? In today’s episode of Touchdown and Ties, Daddy and I wrap up Week 14 of College Football, aka Rivalry Week. We open up the episode paying homage to Matthew McConaughey and talk about Texas’ dominating win against the No.3 team in the country, Texas A&M. We then move into The Game highlighting Ohio State’s expected win against the Wolverines and their long term dominance not just in The Game in recent years but in all of college football. We close out the episode with the Iron Bowl, as Bama tops Auburn once again. Throughout the episode, we talk about playoff implications for each of these teams and the future for other teams throughout the FBS, including Lane Kiffin’s decision to go to LSU.
