Carson Beck's Renaissance, Garrett Nussmeier's Master Class, and Everything Else that Mattered in CFB Week 1

Welcome to The McShay Show! The guys are back to recap all the action from the first weekend in college football. Todd and Steve begin by reacting to Carson Beck’s strong start as Miami’s QB in the Canes’ win over Notre Dame. Then, they talk LSU-Clemson and how Garrett Nussmeier is setting a new bar for the 2026 quarterback class. To close, they dive into the Texas–Ohio State tape and break down what they saw from Arch Manning.

Our first LIVE show with special guest Dan “Big Cat” Katz will take place at Lincoln Hall in Chicago on September 10. Tickets are on sale now—secure your spot today!

We’ll also be live on YouTube this Saturday night to recap all the action from Week 2 of the college football season.
