Have you ever been told How many grills do you need? Then you have found the podcast for you. On Between two grills we will tackle the questions you want to know about grilling, smoking, and any way to cook outdoors. I am your host Matt and now its time to go between two grills.
UNC, quarterbacks, accountability, and the truth behind “blame
We’re putting another Carolina cut of truth right on the heat.
You’ve heard the same football cliché your entire life:
“The quarterback gets too much credit when you win and too much blame when you lose.”
Cute.
But like most clichés, it’s only half true. And half truths? Those are for press conferences, not for anybody who’s actually watched the UNC offense over the past few weeks.
So today, we’re talking about what “fair” really means, why it is not the same as “equal,” and why pretending the quarterback position is blameless is the fastest way to kill hope in Chapel Hill.
Let’s get into it.

College Football 2025: What Do We Actually Know? | Between Two Grills
This week on Between Two Grills, Matt is joined by Paul Nelson to fire up some preseason takes on the ever-changing world of college football. From the chaos of the transfer portal to the expansion of the playoff field, nothing feels certain heading into 2025—except that the sport looks nothing like it did even a few years ago.
Matt and Paul dig into whether the 12-team playoff really makes the regular season less meaningful, how NIL has turned roster building into the Wild West, and why we may never see another “super team” like Joe Burrow’s LSU or Georgia’s loaded defenses. They share examples of programs like Missouri and UNC using the portal to close the gap, debate whether Dabo can keep Clemson elite without fully embracing transfers, and look at how fan investment is shifting in this new era.
The guys also talk about what Bill Belichick’s arrival at North Carolina could mean for the Tar Heels, how conference bias might still haunt the playoff committee, and which programs outside the usual suspects could be the ones to watch this fall.
Grab your favorite game-day plate, pull up a chair by the grill, and join Matt and Paul as they try to answer the only question that matters: in college football 2025, what do we actually know?
