Akron head coach Joe Moorhead joins Ken and Anthony to explain the viral season-ticket promotion letting one lucky fan help script the Zips' opening drive against Robert Morris, admitting he thought it was ridiculous at first before buying in once he saw the potential exposure and revenue for a program with the lowest operating budget in FBS football. Moorhead insists it will be a true collaboration rather than a gimmick, walking through how he builds his actual game plan and stressing he addressed it with players immediately so it wouldn't undercut the team's focus. He also admits he'd feel differently if he weren't the primary play-caller himself, which helps ease some of Ken's skepticism.
