About this episode

The episode discusses the first A-Day game under Alex Golesh, analyzing both the offensive struggles and the defensive strengths of the team.

On today’s episode of The College Loop, we react to the first A-Day game under Alex Golesh and break down what stood out — both good and bad — from this new-look squad. It wasn’t a clean debut for the offense, as inconsistency, stalled drives, and multiple interceptions from the quarterback group raised some early concerns heading into the season. We dive into what went wrong, whether it’s a matter of timing, system adjustment, or something deeper that needs to be fixed fast. But it wasn’t all negative — the defense came to play. From creating turnovers to consistently disrupting the offense, this unit looked aggressive, opportunistic, and ahead of schedule. We discuss who stood out, what it says about the defensive identity, and whether this group can carry momentum into the fall. Is this just typical spring growing pains… or are there real red flags? And how should fans feel after the first glimpse of the Golesh era? All that and more on today’s episode of The College Loop. - Follow the Socials: Dylan: https://twitter.com/yaboithetank https://www.youtube.com/@tanktalksmovies?sub_confirmation=1 TCL: https://twitter.com/TheCollegeLoop https://www.instagram.com/thecollegeloop/…
