Derek Duke, Big 12 writer for Heartland College Sports, and Sam Herder, FCS writer for HERO Sports, joined The Hot Route this week to talk Week 1 and make tons of predictions.

Duke talked West Virginia's defense, floor and ceiling for Texas, and sympathy for David Beaty. How many wins does Kliff Kingsbury need to keep his job? Who's a Big 12 dark horse Heisman contender? What freshmen could have big seasons? Will a Big 12 team make the College Football Playoff?

Herder broke down notable FCS-FBS games in Week 1, including South Dakota State at Iowa State, and James Madison and NC State. Also, FCS head coaches who could be FBS head coaches in 2019, and what he's seen from North Dakota State quarterback Easton Stick as an NFL prospect.
