Archie Griffin SI

Two-time Heisman winner Archie Griffin joined the show before joining Dan in Happy Valley for the Penn State-Ohio State game this weekend.

Griffin thinks that some day a freshman will win the Heisman. Griffin pointed to Tim Tebow winning it as a sophomore.

Griffin wouldn't tip his hand on the Heisman vote. He didn't seem to have a problem with Tebow matching his two trophies. But Griffin said something interesting about last year's vote. He said that Texas quarterback Colt McCoy was hurt because he didn't get to play in a conference championship game.

Griffin commented on current Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor. Griffin said that Pryor hasn't reached his potential yet, but he thinks Pryor will improve.

"I really believe Terrelle is going to be a great quarterback at Ohio State," Griffin said.  

Griffin said that being a running back in college is different now because you don't have a fullback in front of you.

Congratulations to Yankee fans everywhere. New York wrapped up a great World Series with its 7-3 win over the Phillies on Wednesday. Hideki Matsui captured the MVP with a 6-RBI performance in Game 6. Tune in Thursday for Dan's breakdown of the MLB postseason.

Oregon coach Chip Kelly joined the show to talk about the Ducks' season. Here are some of his takes:

-- Dan asked Kelly about suspended running back LeGarrette Blount. "We're still the process of evaluating the things we put in place for L.G.," Kelly said.

Kelly made it clear this isn't about winning. "It's not a football decision," Kelly said.

Kelly said he has seen Blount's behavior improve, but the process is still going on.

Kelly did say Tony Dungy has been a great help and was very generous with his time. Kelly said he didn't know Dungy before this incident, and that speaks to Dungy's kindness.

-- Dan asked Kelly if he could have really run up the score against USC. Kelly said they didn't call the dogs off, they were just managing the game.

"I told our team when we lost to Boise State, one game will not define us. ... The Boise State game will not define us, and the USC game will not define us," Kelly said.

Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt joined the show to discuss the World Series and the Phillies' chances in Game 6 and possibly Game 7.

Schmidt said as he understands it, the Cole Hamels story has been misconstrued by the media. Schmidt pointed out that Hamels said that he definitely wanted the ball in Game 7.

Schmidt said he would start Hamels if there was a Game 7. He'd just have a talk with him before he takes the mound.

However, Schmidt isn't sure that the Phillies will use Brad Lidge, even in a normal save situation.

Schmidt said that Philly fans are more confident in this team than they have been in any other Phillies team. They love this team and really think they're going to win.

Schmidt said that guys in the 3-4-5 spot, like Ryan Howard and A-Rod, can kill a rally in a second. Schmidt said that at least Howard got a few walks in Game 5. Schmidt said Howard is still a threat. "No one's more dangerous. Let him hit a little flair to left field early, then watch out," Schmidt said.

Schmidt said it's hard to pitch around Chase Utley or to threaten him inside. Schmidt said Utley won't give an inch. He led the league in getting hit by pitches last season.

Schmidt said that Andy Pettitte can be tough for the Phillies. "He kind of lulls you to sleep. Long games. Lot of throws to first. A little tougher to figure out," Schmidt said.

Jerome Bettis joined the show to break down the NFL as the midway point of the season approaches.

Bettis thinks that Redskins owner Daniel Snyder finally spoke to the press because he's concerned about empty seats. Snyder said he was disappointed in the way the team was playing. But Bettis said that when you're a player, you don't care. You feel bad the team is losing as well. In other cases, Bettis said he was blamed for the team's problem when it wasn't fair.

Bettis said the Raiders have a responsibility to get someone in there to really work with JaMarcus Russell. Bettis seems to think that Russell hasn't gotten a fair chance to develop into a real QB.

Bettis also shared some stories about the bottom of the pile in the NFL. Bettis said one guy, a former friend, punched him in the stomach. Bettis said that isn't part of football, and neither is eye-gouging.

And just for fun, here's the video of Dan beating Bettis in a race at last year's Super Bowl.

LeMoyne play-by-play announcer Chris Granozio dropped by after calling LeMoyne's shocking exhibition win over Syracuse.

Granazio said he counts it as a real win, and is thrilled for the exposure the school got. And Granazio himself made his SportsCenter debut. He said he hasn't slept and his phone has been ringing off the hook.

Granazio also works for the Yankees in their scoreboard production crew. He said a Yankees win tonight would be special, but not as special as the LeMoyne win.

FOX's Chris Rose joined the show to discuss hosting the World Series coverage.

Rose said that Ozzie Guillen has been very fun. Dan asked him why they didn't pile on Guillen for claiming Derek Jeter is the greatest Yankee of all time. Apparently, Guillen went off on Babe Ruth, but it wasn't airable.

Rose also made a great argument for why a Game 7 would be incredible for baseball this season. "I don't think there's any question that there's nothing better than a seventh game in baseball," Rose said.

Rose said the intrigue of the Phillies' pitching decision is enough drama to make it worthwhile.

Dan will get you ready for Game 6 of the World Series with a full breakdown of the Yankees-Phillies matchup on Wednesday. Will Andy Pettitte perform well on three-days rest and does Pedro Martinez have anything left in the tank? And who will pitch in Game 7 for the Phillies if they win on Wednesday?

Here is the rundown of expected guests:

Mike Schmidt: The Hall of Famer discusses his former team's chances against the Yankees in Game 6.

Chip Kelly: The Oregon coach looks back at the big win over USC and ahead to the rest of the Ducks' schedule as they try to shoot up the BCS standings. Also, Kelly will have the latest news on running back LeGarrette Blount.

Mark Grace: The FOX MLB analyst offers his thoughts on the World Series and the key strategy decisions both managers face.

Jerome Bettis: The former Steelers great will look ahead to the big Pittsburgh-Denver game and share his thoughts on the season as the midway point approaches.

Chris Rose: The host of FOX's World Series coverage talks baseball, haircuts and much more.

Patrick Willis AP

Niners star linebacker Patrick Willis joined the show to discuss this season and more. Here are some of the highlights of his interview with Dan.

-- Willis said that he knows coach Mike Singletary is mad at him when he takes his glasses off and starts rubbing his eyes. And Singletary has a look. Willis said he didn't know it his rookie year, but now he knows that look well. Willis said the last time he had that look was the Texans game.

-- Willis talked about their upcoming matchup against the Titans. He knows Vince Young will try to beat them with his legs. And he said that Tennessee RB Chris Johnson's speed is a real problem.

-- Willis shared a funny story about what happens in piles. Apparently, it gets worse than eye-gouging. One time someone grabbed him in the "mid-section" as hard as he good and squeezed as hard as he could.

-- Willis said that he trained in MMA this offseason, and now he would never try that sport. He said it's really tough.

-- Willis talked about how serious he is about video games.

Brandon Marshall has 33 catches for 356 yards and four touchdowns. AP

Denver Broncos receiver Brandon Marshall joined the show to talk about the Broncos' hot start.

-- Dan asked Marshall if he thought the Broncos were a bit too conservative against the Ravens. Marshall avoided the question and said that his job is to catch balls.

"I will say that we have a lot of explosive players on our side of the ball waiting to contribute," Marshall said.

Marshall said receivers get a bad rap in general. "Wide receivers come off as divas. But we're really the only position that can ask for the ball .... so that's what we do," Marshall said.

Dan asked Marshall the best way to let his coaching staff know he wants the ball more. Marshall said you could always leave memos with your stats all over the team building.

Marshall had very nice things to say about Pittsburgh's Troy Polamalu. The Broncos face the Steelers this week. Marshall says Polamalu never says a word. Marshall said that he doesn't like when average defensive backs talk trash.

Dan asked Marshall about the old-school uniforms. Marshall said that they aren't going to wear them again this year.

-- Marshall is guest hosting a show called Sports Soup tonight.
