Episode Description from the Publisher

SportsDay Insiders Kevin Sherrington, Evan Grant and Joe Hoyt discuss the Cowboys' 34-30 come-from-behind win over Houston. Joe tells us that, until further notice, the Cowboys will have to score 30 points a game to win. The good news is, they can do that, especially in a weak NFC East. Bad news: The defense isn't close to league average, and might never rise to that level this year. The guys cite the passings of Dennis Franchione, former head coach at both TCU and Texas A&M, and Jim Ray Smith, a world-class lineman at Baylor and in the NFL who served several decades with the Cotton Bowl Athletic Association. Kevin and Evan also lay out the possibilities for an upset of No. 1 Texas (Hint: not good) and what to do if your friend or loved one puts ketchup on a corny dog. Learn more about your ad choices.
