Last Call | Jake Coker Reveals WILD Donald Trump Encounter Before Alabama-Georgia
mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 25:48
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.
If you love Alabama Crimson Tide football, Georgia Bulldogs football, SEC football, Keelon Russell, Kalen DeBoer, Kirby Smart, Jake Coker and the biggest stories in college football, this episode is for you.

Brock Huard joins The Next Round to break down the Alabama Crimson Tide, UCLA vs. Oregon, San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks, and the biggest talking points across college football and the NFL!
Brock shares his thoughts on Alabama sophomore sensation Keelon Russell and what stands out about his game as the debate over college football’s best QB heats up.

TNR 10/6/26 - Hours 3 & 4 | Keelon Russell vs Gunner Stockton: Who’s the Better QB? CFP Bubble Watch
mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:59:31
🔥 KEELON RUSSELL VS. GUNNER STOCKTON — WHO HAS THE EDGE?
It’s one of the biggest quarterback debates in college football as Alabama Crimson Tide QB Keelon Russell and Georgia Bulldogs QB Gunner Stockton prepare for a massive SEC showdown. Which quarterback has been better through the first five weeks of the 2026 college football season — and who gives his team the advantage when Georgia travels to Tuscaloosa?
We break down the key numbers for Keelon Russell vs. Gunner Stockton, including passing production, completion percentage, touchdowns, interceptions, efficiency, rushing ability and overall impact on their respective offenses. Russell has emerged as one of the most explosive young quarterbacks in college football, while Stockton has been remarkably efficient leading Kirby Smart’s Georgia offense. So who has the edge: Alabama or Georgia at quarterback?
🐶 KIRBY SMART ON JUST HOW GOOD GUNNER STOCKTON IS
We’ll also hear Georgia head coach Kirby Smart’s evaluation of Gunner Stockton and discuss what makes the Bulldogs quarterback so effective. Smart has consistently praised Stockton’s decision-making, accuracy, toughness, athleticism and leadership as Georgia continues to lean on its veteran quarterback in one of the biggest games on the SEC schedule.
🏆 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF BUBBLE WATCH
As we enter Week 6 of the college football season, it’s time to take a closer look at the College Football Playoff Bubble Watch.
Which teams are safely inside the projected 12-team CFP field? Which contenders still have work to do? And which teams could see their playoff hopes take a major hit over the next few weeks?
We break down the rapidly changing College Football Playoff picture, the teams sitting near the cut line and the upcoming games that could dramatically reshape the postseason race.
🚨 IS THIS THE FINAL SEASON FOR CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES?
Could 2026 be the final season of conference championship games as we know them?
With continued discussion surrounding the future of the College Football Playoff, expansion and postseason structure, the value — and potential risk — of playing an additional conference championship game has become one of the biggest debates in college football.
Could the SEC Championship Game, Big Ten Championship Game and other conference title games eventually disappear or be dramatically changed as the CFP continues to evolve?

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?
mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 57:10
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.
Join Jim Dunaway, Lance Taylor and Ryan Brown for live reaction, analysis, debate and your comments on Alabama football, Georgia football, SEC football, Bryce Young, the Carolina Panthers, the NFL and much more!

Joel Klatt: Keelon Russell Is a SUPERSTAR | Is Texas Overrated?
mardi 6 octobre 2026 • Durée 36:52
FOX Sports college football analyst Joel Klatt joins The Next Round to break down Alabama QB Keelon Russell, Bryce Underwood’s struggles at Michigan, Texas football, the SEC, the Big Ten and more! Klatt calls Russell “spectacular” and a “superstar”—but how would Alabama stack up against Indiana or Notre Dame on a neutral field?
🏈 JOEL KLATT ON KEELON RUSSELL & ALABAMA
What stands out to Klatt about Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell? We discuss his observations of the Crimson Tide’s rising star and how Alabama would fare in neutral-site matchups against Indiana and Notre Dame.
〽️ BRYCE UNDERWOOD, BIG CONTRACTS & BIG EXPECTATIONS
Bryce Underwood’s underwhelming performances at Michigan spark a bigger conversation: Are some players simply not equipped to be “the guy”? Klatt weighs in on the pressure of expectations, big contracts and becoming the face of a college football program in the NIL era.
🐯 MISSOURI, FLORIDA & THE RANKINGS DEBATE
Is Klatt hearing from Missouri fans after saying the Tigers shouldn’t be ranked a week ago—then watching Mizzou destroy Florida? We revisit his assessment and discuss what that performance says about Missouri football.
🤘 TEXAS: BETTER ON PAPER THAN ON THE FIELD?
Klatt explains his take on the Texas Longhorns and why their talent on paper hasn’t translated into the same level of performance on the field.
👀 NORTHWESTERN & THE BIG TEN
Could Northwestern actually be the fourth-best team in the Big Ten? We discuss the Wildcats and where they fit in the conference picture.
🚣 P.J. FLECK: IS HE AS WEIRD AS HE SEEMS?
Klatt shares his perspective on Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck, his personality and one of college football’s most recognizable coaching styles.
Plus, more college football analysis, SEC and Big Ten discussion, and the candid opinions you expect from Joel Klatt and The Next Round!
💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION: How would Alabama fare against Indiana or Notre Dame? Do you agree with Klatt’s take on Texas? Leave your thoughts in the comments!

TNR 10/5/26 - Hours 3 & 4 | Alabama vs Georgia: Keelon Russell’s Heisman Test + Auburn’s October Nightmare
lundi 5 octobre 2026 • Durée 01:55:15
The college football season is heating up, and The Next Round is LIVE with a loaded SEC show headlined by Alabama, Georgia, Auburn and FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt.
🏆 KEELON RUSSELL: HEISMAN FAVORITE & BEST QB IN AMERICA?
Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell has exploded into the Heisman Trophy race after another dominant performance. Through five starts, Russell has thrown for 1,414 yards and 11 touchdowns with only two interceptions while adding 184 rushing yards and four more scores. After accounting for four touchdowns in Alabama’s 56-23 road win over No. 16 Mississippi State, has the Crimson Tide sophomore already done enough to be called the best quarterback in college football?
The biggest test yet arrives Saturday night when No. 2 Georgia visits No. 6 Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
🐘 WAS THAT KALEN DEBOER’S MOST “SABAN-LIKE” WIN?
Kalen DeBoer has spent much of his Alabama tenure being measured against Nick Saban, often unfairly and usually unfavorably. But after the Tide overwhelmed a ranked Mississippi State team on the road, was that the most Saban-like performance of the DeBoer era? We break down what looked different and whether Alabama is beginning to resemble a true national championship contender.
🦅 AUBURN’S OFFENSE & A BRUTAL OCTOBER
Auburn fell to 3-2 overall and 1-2 in SEC play after a 24-14 loss at Tennessee. Some Tigers fans are already comparing this offense to struggling Auburn attacks of recent seasons. Is that criticism fair this early in the Alex Golesh era?
Auburn gets a bye before an unforgiving stretch at Georgia, home against LSU and at Ole Miss. Where is the Tigers’ best chance to steal an October win?
👑 WHO IS THE BEST TEAM IN THE SEC?
No. 1 Texas, No. 2 Georgia and No. 6 Alabama remain undefeated, but the SEC race is far from settled. Is Texas still the league’s No. 1 team? Does Georgia deserve the top spot? Has Alabama’s surge changed the conversation? And how much of a case can Ole Miss, LSU or Florida still make after early-season losses?
☎️ ALEXANDER SHUNNARAH HOTLINE
11:30 — FOX Sports lead college football analyst Joel Klatt joins the show to discuss the biggest stories in the sport, Alabama vs. Georgia, the SEC pecking order and the national College Football Playoff picture.
Join Jim Dunaway, Lance Taylor and Ryan Brown for live college football reaction, analysis, debate and your comments throughout the show.

TNR on Sport & State 10/5/26 - Hour 1 | Is Alabama the BEST Team in College Football? Miami DESTROYS Clemson
lundi 5 octobre 2026 • Durée 59:11
Is Alabama Football becoming the best team in college football? After another wild Saturday, the College Football Playoff picture and conference championship races are starting to take shape — and several contenders made massive statements while others suffered crushing losses.
🐘 ALABAMA MAKES ANOTHER STATEMENT
The Alabama Crimson Tide went into Starkville and hammered previously unbeaten Mississippi State 56-23, improving to 5-0 overall and 3-0 in SEC play. Keelon Russell threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns as Alabama picked up its second SEC road victory of the season.
Now the conversation gets even bigger: Is Alabama actually the best team in college football? The Crimson Tide returns to Tuscaloosa for a massive showdown with No. 2 Georgia.
🐔 ANOTHER SOUTH CAROLINA COLLAPSE
South Carolina jumped out to a 17-0 lead over Kentucky — and still couldn’t finish. Kentucky battled all the way back and eventually won 35-34 in overtime on a game-winning two-point conversion.
The result puts even more pressure on Shane Beamer after another painful blown lead for the Gamecocks.
🙌 MIAMI DESTROYS CLEMSON
Miami walked into Death Valley and dominated Clemson 41-13. The Hurricanes are now 5-0 and 3-0 in ACC play, taking sole possession of first place in the conference.
For Clemson, the loss drops Dabo Swinney’s Tigers to 3-2 overall and 2-1 in the ACC. Is Clemson’s College Football Playoff dream already finished? Meanwhile, Miami continues building toward a huge November showdown with Notre Dame.

It’s Monday Morning Live with The Next Round’s Jim Dunaway and ESPN college football analyst Tom Luginbill, breaking down everything that happened across a wild weekend of college football and turning the page to another massive week featuring Alabama vs. Georgia, Texas vs. Oklahoma in the Red River Rivalry, USC vs. Penn State and much more.
🐘🔥 ALABAMA & KEELON RUSSELL ARE ROLLING
The Crimson Tide keeps building momentum. Keelon Russell threw for 285 yards and three touchdowns and added another score on the ground as Alabama routed Mississippi State 56-23 in Starkville. Jim and Tom discuss Russell’s development, his place among the best quarterbacks in college football and an Alabama wide receiver room that continues to give defenses problems. How high is the ceiling for this Crimson Tide offense?
🐶🐘 ALABAMA vs. GEORGIA — SEC SHOWDOWN
Now the attention turns to Georgia at Alabama in Tuscaloosa. What are the biggest matchups? Where does Alabama have an advantage? What does Georgia have to do to slow down Russell and the Tide passing game? Jim and Tom give their early breakdown of one of the biggest games on the college football schedule.
🐊📉 FLORIDA CRASHES BACK TO EARTH
Florida’s undefeated start came crashing to a halt with a 45-17 loss at Missouri. Despite Austin Simmons throwing for 340 yards and two touchdowns, the Gators couldn’t keep pace. Was this simply one bad Saturday, or did Missouri expose real concerns for Florida moving forward?
🍊⚠️ TENNESSEE WINS — BUT DO THE VOLS HAVE A QB PROBLEM?
Tennessee beat Auburn 24-14, but the biggest story came at quarterback when Josh Heupel benched Faizon Brandon for George MacIntyre. What does the move mean for the Vols going forward? And on the other side, how worried should Alex Golesh and Auburn be about an offense that continues to search for consistency?
😼🤯 KENTUCKY STUNS SOUTH CAROLINA
Kentucky trailed 17-0 before completing a dramatic comeback and beating South Carolina 35-34 in overtime. The Wildcats went for two and the win after their overtime touchdown. What did Kentucky show in the comeback, and where does another painful SEC loss leave South Carolina?
🤘🏆 RED RIVER RIVALRY PREVIEW: TEXAS vs. OKLAHOMA
It’s one of the best rivalries in all of sports: Texas vs. Oklahoma at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Throw out the records when the Longhorns and Sooners meet in the Red River Rivalry. Jim and Tom break down the quarterbacks, matchups, pressure points and what could decide another chapter of Texas-OU.
☘️😰 NOTRE DAME GETS TESTED
Notre Dame survived a tougher-than-expected challenge from North Carolina. What did the Fighting Irish learn, and are there warning signs hiding underneath another victory as the College Football Playoff race begins to take shape?
🙌🌴 MIAMI KEEPS CRUISING
Miami continues to look like one of the nation’s elite teams after another convincing performance. Are the Hurricanes a legitimate national championship threat, and how do they stack up against the other College Football Playoff contenders?
🌰🦅 OHIO STATE & IOWA LOOK THE PART
Ohio State went into Kinnick Stadium and came away with a 31-14 win over Iowa. Jim and Tom examine what we learned about the Buckeyes in a difficult road environment — and what Iowa showed despite taking its first loss.
✌️🔥 USC SURVIVES — NOW IT’S PENN STATE
USC rallied to beat Washington 25-21, and now the Trojans turn their attention toward another enormous Big Ten test against Penn State. What should we make of USC right now, and what will it take to survive the next challenge?
🏈👀 PITT vs. VIRGINIA TECH — WAS THE KICK ACTUALLY GOOD?
One of the wildest endings of the weekend came in Pitt’s 35-33 win over Virginia Tech. Hokies kicker John Love attempted a potential game-winning 36-yard field goal as time expired, but officials ruled the kick no good. Because the ball traveled above the upright, the call was not reviewable. So… was it actually good?
