<p>Colts fans compare Carson Wentz to Andrew Luck, but yesterday he and Jacoby Brissett looked bore a resemblance as the Colts won their first game of the season. &nbsp;Pacers should not trade for an unhappy 6'10 point forward who can't (and won't) shoot. &nbsp;Indianapolis is all full up on Philly athletes in need of a second chance! &nbsp;Hoosier Hysteria brings sweet nostalgia. &nbsp;IU Football turns back the clock to a dark chapter.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>After a rough start, the Colts finally got rolling and earned their first win of the season. &nbsp;Jacoby Brissett did for the Dolphins what earned him a bus ticket out of Indy with dinks, dunks, and sacks. &nbsp;Carson Wentz was good enough, and so was Jonathan Taylor. &nbsp;An injury came at a bad time to a player the Colts would hate to have to replace.</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>

<p>Mike Woodson told his team in practice they need to compete with urgency, and that should speak to the Colts and football Hoosiers too. &nbsp;Colts need to run 35 times and make Jacoby Brissett uncomfortable with blitzes and disguised coverages. &nbsp;Hoosiers likely to have a tough time in Misery Valley. &nbsp;BTN+ to stream Hoosier Hysteria, but it is going to cost you $10 minimum!</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support" rel="payment">https://anchor.fm/the-kent-sterling-show/support</a>
