This week on The Matt Cave, Utah college football takes center stage. 🏈

  • BYU vs. Stanford: The Cougars’ defense dominated with sacks, turnovers, and shutdown play, but offensive play-calling remains a concern.
  • Utah vs. Cal Poly: A blowout win revealed little, though questions linger about two-way players and receiver depth.
  • Utah State vs. Texas A&M: Bronco Mendenhall’s Aggies showed fight but were ultimately outclassed in a tough paycheck game.

Beyond football, the show covers the Utah Mammoth’s rookie camp at their brand-new Sandy facility, Lauri Markkanen leading Finland past Serbia in international play, and Diego Luna with the USMNT in a tough loss to South Korea.

On the gaming side, Matt delivers his Borderlands franchise rankings while previewing Borderlands 4 and highlights why The Finals might be the most underrated free-to-play shooter out right now. 🎮

From college football breakdowns to NHL expansion buzz, NBA international updates, soccer struggles, and gaming hype, this episode delivers a full dive into sports and pop culture from a Utah perspective.
