Week 7 Podcast - Showdown

Week 7 is loaded with possible shakeups, and one upset could change everything.

Can Spanish Springs keep building momentum against a surging Damonte Ranch? Is Reed in danger of getting caught in a letdown spot after McQueen’s breakthrough? And could Bishop Manogue and Douglas turn into the kind of tight, fourth-quarter battle that decides more than just one Friday night?You’ll also hear the case for why Reno and Galena are separating themselves in 4A, why Churchill County still looks like the team to beat in 3A, and why Truckee at Elko may be the most important matchup on the board. Michael and Brady also react to the week’s biggest storylines around the Nevada Wolf Pack, including the Air Force overtime loss, Jeff Choate’s biggest fixes, and what a bye week means before a brutal stretch.Then the conversation widens to the national picture, with reactions to Alabama-Mississippi State, Ohio State-Iowa, Miami-Clemson, Texas Tech-Colorado, and a USC game that sparks a bigger discussion about quarterback protection, sideline etiquette, and what crosses the line after a brutal hit.If you want sharp prep football analysis, top-five debate, upset picks, and a fast-moving look at the biggest games in Nevada and beyond, this one has plenty to keep you locked in.
