  TNR 10/9/26 - Hour 4 | Lane Kiffin's Time in Tuscaloosa & LT's Trash! 09.10.2026 51min

  🔥 ALABAMA'S OFFENSIVE LINE AND RUN GAME: THE FINAL EXAM! Has Alabama's offensive line actually improved, or have the Crimson Tide's recent performances created a false sense of confidence? Kalen DeBoer's team has shown flashes of a more effective rushing attack, but Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs represent an enormous test. Can Alabama establish the run against Georgia's defense? Will Daniel Hill, EJ Crowell, and the Crimson Tide running backs find room to operate? Can Alabama protect freshman quarterback Keelon Russell when the pressure is highest? And if the running game struggles, can Russell carry the offense against one of the SEC's premier programs? 🔥 RYAN COLEMAN-WILLIAMS: IS ALABAMA GETTING HIM THE FOOTBALL ENOUGH? Alabama wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams enters the Georgia showdown with 20 receptions, 376 receiving yards, and four touchdowns through five games. He's Alabama's leading receiver, but is that enough? Should offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb make Coleman-Williams an even bigger part of the game plan? Can the explosive receiver deliver a signature performance against Georgia's secondary? We debate whether Alabama is maximizing one of its most dangerous offensive weapons. 🏆 ALABAMA AND GEORGIA: NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP OR BUST! Alabama and Georgia fans share something increasingly rare in college football: anything short of a national championship can feel like a disappointing season. Nick Saban built a dynasty in Tuscaloosa. Kirby Smart established a championship standard in Athens. Now Kalen DeBoer faces the challenge of maintaining Alabama's place among the sport's elite. Is winning the SEC enough? Is reaching the College Football Playoff enough? Which program faces more pressure to win it all in 2026? And how much does Saturday's showdown change the national championship conversation? Tripp Rogers on Lane Kiffin's time in Tuscaloosa Our daily 4 Downs presented by Central Alabama Asphalt!

  Last Call | Jake Coker Reveals WILD Donald Trump Encounter Before Alabama-Georgia 06.10.2026 25min

  Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillespie for a must-watch conversation covering one of the biggest weeks of the college football season — from his incredible experience with Donald Trump in Mobile to a massive Alabama vs. Georgia showdown in Tuscaloosa. Coker takes viewers behind the scenes of Trump’s October 2 rally at the University of South Alabama, where the former Crimson Tide quarterback attended alongside his wife and was publicly recognized by Trump. Jake shares the hilarious story of meeting Trump before the event, sitting near Alabama basketball coach Nate Oats, dealing with Secret Service and even finding himself riding in the presidential motorcade with Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency who oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Then it’s time to talk Alabama football. The Crimson Tide improved to 5-0 with a dominant 56-23 road win over Mississippi State, and Coker explains why it may have been the most complete performance of the Kalen DeBoer era. Keelon Russell continued his outstanding start with 285 passing yards, three passing touchdowns and another score on the ground, while Alabama showed encouraging signs of becoming a more physical and explosive rushing team. Coker breaks down the emergence of Trae’shawn Brown and EJ Crowell, Alabama’s offensive line play, the importance of eliminating turnovers and what separates championship-caliber teams when the pressure increases. Attention now turns to one of the biggest games in college football: No. 2 Georgia vs. No. 6 Alabama at Bryant-Denny Stadium. What will it take for Alabama to beat Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs? Can the Crimson Tide establish the run against an elite Georgia defense? And what lessons can Alabama take from the 2025 SEC Championship Game, when the Tide finished with minus-3 rushing yards in a 28-7 loss? Tuscaloosa will become the center of the college football world with ESPN College GameDay, Nick Saban and Donald Trump all expected in town for the heavyweight SEC matchup. Jake also explains what it’s like for Alabama players to prepare for games surrounded by enormous expectations, national television coverage and distractions everywhere.

  TNR on Sport & State 10/6/26 - Hour 2 | BIGGEST Game of the Week in Bama vs. UGA! Who Wins the SEC Showdown This Week? 06.10.2026 57min

  The Next Round is LIVE with a loaded football show headlined by a complete preview of one of the biggest games of the 2026 college football season: No. 2 Georgia at No. 6 Alabama from Saban Field at Bryant-Denny Stadium! Both SEC powers enter the showdown 5-0 overall and 3-0 in SEC play, setting up a massive battle between Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama Crimson Tide and Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs. We break down every angle of Alabama vs. Georgia, including Keelon Russell vs. Gunner Stockton, the battle in the trenches, Georgia’s run defense, Alabama’s offensive wrinkles, the Tide’s defensive pressure packages and the keys that could determine this Top-10 SEC matchup. We’ll also hear directly from both coaching staffs during Georgia week: 🏈 Kalen DeBoer explains why Georgia is Alabama’s biggest challenge yet, the Tide’s focus on weekly improvement and why he believes Keelon Russell is ready for the moment. 🏈 Kane Wommack breaks down Gunner Stockton’s success against pressure, freshman LB Xavier Griffin, Alabama’s defensive mentality on the big stage and whether Georgia represents the ultimate test of the Crimson Tide’s physical identity. 🏈 Ryan Grubb discusses EJ Crowell’s usage, Alabama’s I-formation looks, Georgia’s run defense and where Russell has grown the most at quarterback. 🏈 Kirby Smart gives his evaluation of Keelon Russell and discusses the experience of Gunner Stockton and the playmakers surrounding Georgia’s quarterback. PLUS — is Bryce Young entering the NFL MVP conversation? The Carolina Panthers returned to Sunday Night Football at Bank of America Stadium for the first time in 11 years and delivered, beating the Detroit Lions 32-26. Young put on a show for a national audience, completing 29 of 41 passes for 329 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. The performance kept him atop the NFL with 1,268 passing yards through four games, and Panthers fans sent “MVP” chants raining down inside the stadium. Young’s connection with Tetairoa McMillan was unstoppable. McMillan erupted for career highs with 14 receptions for 192 yards and two touchdowns as Carolina improved to 2-2 and moved into a share of the NFC South lead entering its bye week. So is the former Alabama Heisman Trophy winner legitimately building an NFL MVP case? And how dangerous could Carolina become in the NFC if Young continues playing at this level? We discuss his remarkable development and what comes next for the Panthers before their Week 6 trip to Philadelphia. We’ll also hit Pete Golding on the week-to-week grind of the SEC, Florida coach Jon Sumrall on his hatred of losing and FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt with his latest thoughts on Texas.
