BYU's all-time winningest quarterback — now officially a BYU graduate — Max Hall joined Dave and Blaine via Zoom from Arizona for a wide-ranging football conversation. Max spoke candidly about Bear Bachmeier's record chase, saying he'd be "ecstatic" if Bear surpassed his 32 wins, while offering pointed advice: Bear needs to do a self-scout, use his arm more and his legs less, and be prepared for defenses that have a full year of film on him. Max praised freshman Enoch Watson as potentially "one of the best throwers BYU has seen in a long time" — a kid with NFL arm talent, multiple throwing angles, and the mentality to match. He set his personal over/under for BYU's 2026 season at nine wins, with the Notre Dame game circled as the must-win — and confirmed he'll be in Provo for it.
In Five Questions, Max counted down his all-time top five quarterbacks: Drew Brees at #5 (Max actually beat him in his first Cardinals start), Peyton Manning at #4, Aaron Rodgers at #3, Brett Favre at #2 — complete with Ty Detmer's bird-hunting story and Max's own memory of watching Favre sling a walk-off touchdown on the Cardinals' sideline — and Tom Brady at #1 as the undisputed GOAT. Max also revealed he is now the QB coach at Mountain View High School in Mesa (his alma mater), where his son Rex is a sophomore, and the two end every practice with a pickleball match. Rex wins.
