00:00It is Phil Murphy, Madeline Burke with you, and if you like rage and rallies, well, we had that.
00:05See what set PCA off and how the Giants came up a little small in the night.
00:09Rage and rallies would be a good segment.
00:11We've got two ascending coaches joining us, one riding high in the W,
00:15one who steps up in college football weight class.
00:17SportsCenter on point.
00:19Last season, Z'Darrius Smith announced his retirement after just five games with the Eagles,
00:24a move that perplexed the NFL world.
00:26He had signed a one-year deal and had recorded 10 tackles and one-and-a-half sacks in five
00:31games played,
00:32but some things are bigger than football.
00:35Now that Smith is back in the game, coming out of retirement to join the Falcons,
00:39he shed some light on the very personal reason why he stepped away.
00:43Listen, Phil, I've got some news for you.
00:45We found out Wednesday that the NFL is ending the Pro Bowl games.
00:49Being a Pro Bowler will now merely be an award and not an on-the-field activity,
00:53so we've got to know, Phil, what are you going to miss most about the Pro Bowl?
00:56I mean, we've got to go back to standard definition for the real crowning moment of it.
01:00I was living in D.C. when Sean Taylor lit up poor Brian Mormon of the Bills,
01:04thinking he's going to extend the play, and you don't do that with 2-6 on the field.
01:10Sean Taylor, or 2-1 on the field, just same foot, same shoulder, and sent Mormon to another planet.
01:16It's moments like this that got us to Dexter Lawrence tug-of-war,
01:20which a successful coach in the history of the NFL has found a new challenge at the college level.
01:24Bill Belichick's college coaching debut was famously spoiled by TCU last September.
01:29The Horned Frogs rolling North Carolina 48-14 in Chapel Hill and scoring 41 unanswered points along the way.
01:36But now, with the 2026 season set to kickoff in Dublin, Belichick and the Tar Heels get a rematch.
01:42After a 4-8 first season for Chapel Bill, this is an early chance to show just how much this
01:47program has changed in year two,
01:49even if Bill's pressers are still very much the same.
01:53I know what you're thinking.
01:55You're so sad we didn't get top plays in this hour of SportsCenter.
01:58But have no fear, because Briscoe and Trevor will have those for you later today.
02:03That is a promise that we are going to make sure they keep.
02:07Pinky promise.
02:08And if not, hit us up.
02:11Hit me up.
02:12At Trevor's care.
02:13Send all your complaints there, too.
02:16Briscoe and Trevor taking over from here.
02:18She's Madeline Burke.
02:19I'm Phil Murphy.
02:20Thanks for hanging out with us.
02:21I'm a good time.
02:24College football.
02:25Not all of it was good, but it was here.
02:27Maddie, Trev, let the Chapel Bill era begin for real this time.
02:30Meanwhile, UVA emphatically joined them in the win column.
02:33Absolutely.
02:33Plus, a three-peat at Wrigley.
02:35It could have been four, because that's how many goals Messi scored.
02:38Woo!
02:38Bar SportsCenter.
02:39Go time.
02:40Now, welcome in Roddy Jones for more.
02:43Roddy, we are officially underway.
02:44Plenty of college football action on a Saturday, week zero.
02:48And I want to know, what is your biggest takeaway from today's action?
02:50Well, my biggest takeaway comes, we don't know, but they don't play Miami in the regular season.
02:53I mean, coming off of that 11-win season last year, and then, like you mentioned, only 11 passing attempts
02:58in this one?
03:00Didn't need to lean on them at all.
03:01I should say, they leaned on them like no other.
03:04The other way around.
03:05But his performance on the ground might as well get him an invite into the running back room as we
03:10bring it back for this year.
03:11And we've got new digs and new graphics and whatnot.
03:13First of all, my picture from 2010 looked crispier than your picture from, like, 2014.
03:18The Crimson Comet was moving so fast that they couldn't capture him.
03:22Ignore all of that.
03:23Let's run the play, okay?
03:24Illinois State.
03:26This brother, the same glass, took off on him.
03:28And the most important part is completing the run, Roddy Jones.
03:32It's finished it.
03:32Also, what happened to my guy number 20 on the defense?
03:35Wait, no.
03:36He did a great effort, coach.
03:37The look in the backfield, Bob, I got set, was tremendous, but I'm at number 20.
03:41A little bit more for me.
03:42You know, just dive, clip an ankle if you can.
03:45In any case, your former alumnus, fellow alumnus, I should say, Jamal Hayes going crazy in the Bengals three-season
03:52game.
03:52Saw this all the time on the flats.
03:55His foot looked like they were in molasses.
03:58Almost every man on that defense missed him.
04:00Yes, that's right.
04:01Count him up.
04:01We did it for you.
04:02He is a monster, as you said.
04:05That dude loved running in any scheme that you put in front of him, and he showed exactly why when
04:09it comes to that.
04:10Favorite play of the weekend came out of the high school football.
04:13Last play of the game.
04:14If you see the score here, ball up.
04:16It's a half-back pass, and we're headed to the crib, Roddy.
04:19Oh, okay.
04:20There's a lot to break down here.
04:21Yes, there is.
04:22First off, why does my guy wind up out wide?
04:25All-around effort from the running back room this week.
04:28We got he can pass, he can run, he can block, he can do whatever you need to.
04:31That's why you join us here on the running back room.
04:33We appreciate you, as always.
04:35Always love it, man.
