On this week's busy show, Jonathon Moar and Colan Lamont are delighted to welcome Georgia Bulldogs safety Connor Norman. A big season for both Georgia and Norman himself kicks off on Saturday, when the team enters the famous Death Valley atmosphere when they take on Tajh Boyd-led Clemson in their opening game of the season.

Not only is it the opening game for both teams, but with both teams seen as contenders for major success this season, it is also a game that could have major implications as far as each team's season goes, and naturally, we discuss this huge clash with Georgia senior Norman at length.

However, it's not all about one game, and Norman talks about the Georgia team in general, and how he thinks they will fare after losing defensive stars such as Jarvis Jones and Alec Ogletree to the NFL Draft, and subsequently, who he thinks has the ability to step up and make a name for themselves as the team's new-look, young defence gets set to take to the field. He also talks about defensive coordinator Todd Grantham, who has overseen the development of stars such as Jones and Ogletree, and Norman tells us why he thinks there is no-one better to make the many new starting players into the stars of tomorrow.

Norman also discusses his own aspirations, including some interesting comment on the challenges he faced as a walk-on to Georgia. Plus, as usual, we discuss the great game of football in general, and find out who some of his favourite players are, and some of the toughest players he's come up against in his career.

Following our chat with Connor Norman, Colan previews all of this weekend's other college action that you will be able to see on UK television, including the opener between North Carolina and South Carolina on Thursday, a game which will feature podcast interviewee Kareem Martin, and of course, Jadeveon Clowney.

Finally, we look at the final two divisions in the AFC - the AFC South and AFC West - and which teams we expect to be qualifying for the play-offs, and which teams will endure a dour season.
