Description
We welcome one of the best to do it in Centerville, Ohio, native and lifelong Cincinnati Bengals fan Kirk Herbstreit to Dave Lapham In The Trenches, presented by First Star Logistics. The former Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback and co-captain entered the broadcast arena soon after leaving the game, joining ESPN in 1996, and has become a mainstay on the television sets of college football fans since becoming the lead analyst on College GameDay. Along with his duties on GameDay, Herbstreit is the lead analyst for ABC's Saturday college football primetime games and joined Prime Video as the color commentator for Thursday Nigh Football with Al Michaels. We dive into the hectic schedule Herbstreit has during the football season, along with managing his family life with his wife Alison and their four sons, including youngest son Chase, who is a senior quarterback at Cincinnati St. Xavier High School, and Ben, his traveling partner golden retriever, and three other golden retrievers. A lifelong  Cincinnati Bengals fan, Herbstreit was in attendance for the Bengals loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday and dives into the challenges facing Joe Burrow and Zac Taylor after another poor opening weekend performance and a significant test in Week Two against Patrick Mahones and the Kansas City Chiefs.
