3 Guys Before The Game – Brawl Beatdown – Arizona State Preview (Episode 674)


In just his fourth game at the helm, West Virginia head coach Ross Hodge delivered a signature win against the program’s oldest rival.

Thursday’s Backyard Brawl wasn’t simply a victory — it was a dismantling. Hodge’s trademark defensive pressure smothered Pitt, holding the Panthers to just 49 points, while a poised and balanced Mountaineer offense sent four players into double figures.

In this episode, the “Guys” break down every angle of the Brawl — the tactics, the tone, and the emerging storylines — before turning their attention to Saturday’s football trip to Arizona State. Can Rich Rodriguez’s squad pull off an upset in the desert?

Listener questions and comments round out the show on Textual Healing. 3 Guys Before The Game is sponsored by – Jan Dils Attorneys at Law, Komax Business Systems, GoMart, Lou Wendell Marine Sales, Tudor’s Biscuit World  and Conley CPA Group.
