<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>Five starters were ruled out by Frank Reich, but both Carson Wentz and Jonathan Taylor are questionable. &nbsp;Can they beat the thoroughly mediocre Dolphins led by backup Jacoby Brissett? &nbsp;Does Indiana have any chance to upset Penn State - again? &nbsp;Hoosier Hysteria will give fans a meaningless peek at Indiana under Mike Woodson!

<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>

<p>Colts just never seem to get healthy, so there is always upheaval, distraction, poor focus, and most importantly a loss of talent. &nbsp;Who's injury has been most important? &nbsp;I will tell you who, why, and give a give reason why it's not really his fault!</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>Carson Wentz is way better this week than last, but a significant number of starters did not practice today or were limited! &nbsp;Chris Ballard did the absolute right thing by not signing an expensive back-up quarterback. &nbsp;Indiana Basketball just feels like it is back. &nbsp;We'll see if that's the case, but they are another 40+ days from a potential loss, so let's enjoy it. &nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>(BTW - In the podcast, I make a rare error. &nbsp;Jacob Eason has not spent a single day in his year-plus pro career on the Colts practice squad.)</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>How could Frank Reich claim "full confidence" and have "zero doubt" in Colts players and coaching staff? &nbsp;It's either a lie or the words of a madcap!
