About this episode

Kyle Thompson interviews David Pollack to preview the 2026 College Football season and discuss various teams and cultural topics.

In this episode, we welcome David Pollack to the studio. He is a three-time All-American football player from the University of Georgia, the 2004 Chuck Bednarik Award winner (top defensive player in the country), a two-time SEC Defensive Player of the Year, and a first round pick in the 2005 NFL draft by the Cincinnati Bengals (17th overall). He is also the author of a new book, “Every Day Counts: Start Where You Are. Use What You Have. Do What You Can”. In this interview, we preview the 2026 College Football season by discussing the Lane Kiffin experiment at LSU, if Indiana is in it for the long haul, the most overrated and underrated teams going into the season, if Arch Manning of Texas is for real, why Notre Dame gets special treatment, who will win the Heisman, who will win the College Football Playoff, and much more. We also start off by discussing hot topics within Christendom and culture. Let’s get into it… Episode notes and links HERE. Donate to support our mission of equipping men to push back darkness.
