Quarterbacks are going down left and right in college football, and for some teams, the timing couldn't be worse.

Mississippi State has to figure out life without Kamario Taylor. Oregon is suddenly facing some serious questions about its quarterback room and the direction of the offense. UCLA might be better equipped than anyone to survive losing its starter, while Ohio State has a quarterback decision that could shape the rest of the season.

Four teams, four very different situations, and one very big question: which programs are actually built to survive when their starting quarterback goes down?

Plus: speed picks, Pat's Plum's Pick of the Week, and make some time for the only NFL team in New York: the Buffalo Bills. It's the Buffalo Minute...which may or may not last a full minute.

Michigan just lost to Indiana and now I'm trying to figure out what that means for Ohio State.

Can Michigan be a disappointing team for most of the season and STILL have what it takes to ruin the Buckeyes' year? Rivalry games don't always follow the rules and that's exactly what makes this interesting.

Plus: Oregon's returning talent problem, whether Texas needs adversity to play its best football, Mississippi State's dependence on Kamario Taylor, and the teams that could spend the rest of the season playing spoiler.

After a chaotic weekend last week, who knows what's going to happen??!!

We don't but we sure will pretend like we do.

In college football: Does the uncertain quarterback play spell upset for the Oregon Ducks? Will Houston vs Utah be a key game in the outcome of the Big12 (and the playoff picture)? And will Indiana give Michigan the notes they need to ruin Ohio States playoff hopes a few weeks from now?

on the NFL side of things we are trying not to overreact to the Titans big win on the road and we just aren't buying the whole 'JJ McCarthy" going on out in New York. Is he the real deal or just a one quarter wonder?

Then we unvail the somewhat ridiculous Florida team parlay that may or may not be strongly influenced by a massive video game release.

Plus: Speed Picks, superstition talks, and Pat's Plum's Pick of the Week (6-2 btw).

Football is a beautiful, unpredictable mess.

This week on Pat on the Back, I'm looking at a weekend that reminded us why its important to enjoy the times you get it right, own it when you're wrong, and accept that football rarely goes according to plan.

Then, I'm joined by Adam Giardino, UConn football broadcaster, for a conversation about life in sports broadcasting, what you learn from being around a team that fans might miss, and some important debates facing society today.

From his Broadcasting career and his opinion on two point conversions to Adams favorite ceareal and the best Reeses Cup shape, we get into everything you didn't know you wanted to grown men to talk about.

Adam also discusses his involvement in the Black Play-By-Play Foundation and its working supporting Black play-by-play broadcasters.

Josh Allen can make just about any play on a football field, but can the Buffalo Bills keep relying on hero ball and expect it to work every week? After the wild finish against the Rams and the loss to New England, I'm taking a closer look at what Buffalo needs to do to get where it wants to go.

Pus, we've got a loaded weekend of football to preview!

NFL: Are the Bills asking to much of Josh Allen? What do the Bears and Falcons look like with Caleb Williams and Micheal Penix Jr. back under center? What's the right move for the Ravens QB situation?

CFB: Florida at Texas, Can the Gators hang around or will Texas bounce back in a way? Indiana vs Ohio State, If Indiana wins, do the Hoosiers deserve the number 1 spot? Troy vs Louisiana, an under the radar matchup featuring a fun Troy team that deserves more attention.

Did we just watch championship hopes die? College football delivered a weekend full of statement wins, ugly losses, and some serious questions about who's actually built to win it all. I'm making the case for Goergia, asking whether Texas has been overrated all season, and wondering if Oregon and LSU have bigger problems to figure out.

Plus, the Patriots put up 45 on the Raiders and I hate it. The Lions are rolling but how much do they miss Ben Johnson and Aaron Glenn? And the Broncos continue to make it a habit of waiting until the fourth quarter to play football.

Look guys when its your Girlfriends birthday you cant spend all day typing descriptions.

Was the Patriots win last week really the turning point for this team, or are the Raiders going to take us back to the sweet, sweet bliss of the Patriots not being good at football?

A second double get right game for the Chargers? Two weeks in a row? Not where anybody thought these guys would be after 4 weeks. Lets put this game on the back burner while we all tune in for a battle of the best between the 49ers and the Seahawks which should have the kind of that everyone likes to watch.

Also in College: Goergia to topple Bama? Texas not that different from Oklahoma? Indiana faces a test against Nebraska in this battle of undefeated teams.

Plus: Speed picks and Pats Plums Pick of the Week!

The Patriots beat the Bills, the Chiefs are 4-0, and somehow I'm still thinking about what could've been if Aaron Rodgers had chosen New England instead of the Jets.

We're getting into the biggest stories from the NFL weekend including whether the Bills actually lost that game more than the Patriots won it, why Jalen Hurts seems to escape the blame that other quarterbacks get, and why it feels like were watching a ridiculous number if injuries this season.

Plus: are quarterbacks getting more passes batted down at the line? Miami absolutely handles Clemson, and we ask the biggest what if of all: What would the Patriots look like if Aaron Rodgers had come to New England?
