  Episode #28

  Arizona State or Kansas after Week 1?? w/ Logan Mac | The Union Jack Classic Podcast | Episode 28

  Sep 10, 202648 minS1

  In Episode 28 of the Union Jack Classic Podcast, Tj, George and Sam look back at the opening weekend of the college football season and ask what Week 1 revealed about Arizona State and Kansas ahead of the Union Jack Classic. Both teams are now officially underway, and with Wembley getting closer, the episode takes a deeper look at how the Sun Devils and Jayhawks started their seasons, what stood out and whether anything from Week 1 changes the picture heading into 19 September. For Kansas, Isaiah Marshall was one of the biggest talking points. The young quarterback looked hugely promising in Week 1, giving Jayhawks fans an early look at what he could bring to the offence this season. Tj, George and Sam discuss what stood out from his performance, what it could mean for Kansas going forward and whether the quarterback situation now looks any clearer. Arizona State also started fast. Cutter Boley and Kenny Dillingham opened the season on a high, with ASU giving plenty to talk about after their first game of the year. The group looks at how Boley performed, what Dillingham's team showed in Week 1 and where the Sun Devils already look dangerous. Attention then turns to Week 2. Both Arizona State and Kansas have another chance to build on their opening performances, with the podcast previewing both games and looking at the key things to watch as each team continues towards Wembley. And with one week of football now in the books, the big question is whether anything has changed. Have Week 1 performances shifted the predictions for the Union Jack Classic? Has either team moved ahead? And did the opening weekend expose anything that could become important when Arizona State and Kansas finally meet in London? Later in the episode, Tj and Ash are joined by special guest and country singer Logan Mac, who will be performing across Union Jack Classic weekend and at the game itself. They talk all things music, football and more, including Logan's journey through country music, his connection with the sport and what fans can expect from him across UJC weekend. All of that leads towards 19 September, when Arizona State and Kansas meet at Wembley Stadium as Big 12 college football comes to London for the Union Jack Classic. Let us know in the comments: What did you make of Arizona State and Kansas in Week 1? How impressed were you by Isaiah Marshall and Cutter Boley? And has anything from the opening weekend changed your prediction for the Union Jack Classic? ️ Union Jack Classic: Arizona State vs Kansas Wembley Stadium, London 19 September 2026 Subscribe for more from the Union Jack Classic Podcast as the show follows Arizona State and Kansas through the opening weeks of the season and counts down to their meeting at Wembley Stadium. #UnionJackClassic #CollegeFootball #CollegeFootballUK #ArizonaState #KansasFootball #ASUFootball #KUFootball #Big12 #Wembley #IsaiahMarshall #CutterBoley #KennyDillingham #LoganMac #AmericanFootballUK

  Episode #27

  Does College Football exist in the UK?? w/ Tebbs | The Union Jack Classic Podcast | Episode 27

  Sep 3, 202649 minS1

  In Episode 27 of the Union Jack Classic Podcast, George, Sam and Tj and Ash are joined by Chris Tebbutt from Depth Charts Sports to answer a question plenty of American football fans might not realise has an answer: what does college football look like in the UK? Chris is an expert in British American Football, with particular knowledge of the university game, so we take a deeper look at British university American football, the BUCS system, how the level of play compares across the country and what the sport actually looks like for students playing American football at UK universities. University American football has become a major part of the domestic game. The BUCS programme now features 14 leagues and more than 4,000 students competing every Sunday, as the sport continues to grow across British universities. We talk about the culture surrounding university American football in Britain, how programmes are built, the challenges teams face, where the standard of play is heading and why the university game is such an important part of growing American football in the UK. And that growth is becoming increasingly connected to the Union Jack Classic. Union Jack Classic has partnered with British Universities & Colleges Sport, with UJC becoming the official sponsor of the opening day of BUCS Big Wednesday. The day will became “Touchdown Tuesday, powered by Union Jack Classic”, designed to put an even bigger spotlight on university American football and its players. All of that leads towards a landmark moment for the sport in Britain when Arizona State and Kansas bring Big 12 college football to Wembley Stadium on 19 September 2026, in what organisers describe as the first NCAA Division I American college football game to be played in the UK. Let us know in the comments: Did you know university American football was this big in the UK? Have you ever played or watched BUCS American Football? And what does British American Football need to do next to continue growing? ️ Union Jack Classic: Arizona State vs Kansas Wembley Stadium, London 19 September 2026 Subscribe for more from the Union Jack Classic Podcast as we explore college football on both sides of the Atlantic and count down to Arizona State vs Kansas at Wembley Stadium. #UnionJackClassic #CollegeFootball #CollegeFootballUK #BritishAmericanFootball #BUCS #BUCSAmericanFootball #AmericanFootballUK #UniversityFootball #ArizonaState #KansasFootball #ASUFootball #KUFootball #Big12 #Wembley #DepthChartsSports

  Episode #26

  Which QBs will start for Kansas and Arizona State?? | The Union Jack Classic Podcast | Episode 26

  Aug 27, 202650 minS1

  In Episode 26 of the Union Jack Classic Podcast, George, Sam and Tj break down the latest from Arizona State and Kansas training camp as both teams prepare for the 2026 college football season. And with both teams still working through major quarterback decisions, the biggest question is simple: who wins the starting job? At Arizona State, Kentucky transfer Cutter Boley is battling sixth-year veteran Mikey Keene to replace Sam Leavitt. Boley has emerged as a serious contender through fall camp, but can he hold off Keene’s experience and win the ASU starting quarterback job? At Kansas, Cole Ballard and Isaiah Marshall are fighting to become the Jayhawks’ first QB1 of the post-Jalon Daniels era. Ballard brings more experience in the Kansas offense, while Marshall’s athleticism and ability on the ground gives KU a different dimension. George, Sam and Tj also go through the latest from both training camps, where each roster stands heading into opening day, the biggest strengths and concerns for Arizona State and Kansas, and what it could all mean when the two Big 12 teams meet in London. Let us know in the comments: Who should start for Arizona State - Cutter Boley or Mikey Keene? Who should start for Kansas - Cole Ballard or Isaiah Marshall? And which team do you think arrives at Wembley in better shape? ️ Union Jack Classic: Arizona State vs Kansas Wembley Stadium, London 19 September 2026 Subscribe for more from the Union Jack Classic Podcast as we count down to the first-ever college football game at Wembley Stadium. #UnionJackClassic #CollegeFootball #ArizonaStateFootball #KansasFootball #ASUFootball #KUFootball #Big12 #CutterBoley #MikeyKeene #ColeBallard #IsaiahMarshall #Wembley
