Sean Salisbury Unpaved
Is Lincoln Riley in Trouble? Drake Maye Struggles & Is Florida Back? | UNPAVED
On this Monday edition of Unpaved, Sean Salisbury and Adam G. Sager open with a rant on the state of football, from overprotected quarterbacks and the flagged hit on Patrick Mahomes to the new kickoff rules that changed the Cowboys-Ravens finish in Brazil. They dig into Drake Maye's six-interception start and the struggling Patriots, the Jaguars' 35-6 win, and which winless teams should worry most, with Sean naming the Texans and Chargers over the Rams. On the college side, they react to Florida's dominant run game against Ole Miss, Michigan's last-play loss to Iowa, and USC's 41-27 loss to Oregon, where Desmond Stevens' hit on Dante Moore and his sideline celebration took over the conversation. Sean gives a detailed breakdown of why quarterback slides put defenders in an impossible spot and argues Lincoln Riley's hot seat is real. They close with the MLB postseason bracket, Tasty Gains' Biggest Gain of the Week, and the Kalshi Bet of the Day for Eagles at Bears.
