He began by discussing the innovative 10-minute fourth-quarter rule observed in the Morgan State vs. Arizona State game.

He also previewed the first in-conference game of the season, scheduled for Week 2 between Arizona and BYU. Additionally, he highlighted the significance of the Arizona State versus Texas A&M matchup, which will air at 12 p.m. EST / 11 a.m. CST on ABC.

Reflecting on Saturday’s Western Michigan vs. Michigan game, Draper commented on the controversial finish and praised the Big Ten for their transparency in how they handled the ruling. He also discussed the TuneIn Game of the Week between Auburn and Baylor, commending Baylor for their resilience despite a tough loss.
