TNR 9/21/26 | Alabama STORMS Back vs FSU! Keelon Russell ARRIVES, Ole Miss STUNS LSU
Was Saturday the night Keelon Russell officially arrived for Alabama Football? The Crimson Tide found itself in another early hole, falling behind Florida State 21-6 in Tuscaloosa before the Alabama offense completely flipped the game and stormed back for a 50-36 win. Russell delivered the best performance of his young Alabama career, throwing for 320 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions while adding an electric 57-yard rushing touchdown. Alabama finished with 567 total yards and scored on nine consecutive possessions after its slow start. Has Russell “come of age” as the Crimson Tide’s QB1 — and how high is the ceiling for Kalen DeBoer’s offense? We also dive into the criticism surrounding Alabama offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb. The Tide is 3-0, averaging 47.7 points per game — seventh nationally — and has scored 48, 45 and 50 points in its first three games. So why are Alabama fans still frustrated with the offense? Is the concern really Grubb, or is it Alabama’s recurring slow starts? Meanwhile, Florida beat Auburn 44-39 in a wild SEC opener at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Gators running back Jadan Baugh exploded for 162 rushing yards and three touchdowns, while Florida piled up 495 yards of total offense and 243 yards on the ground. That raises a major question on The Plains: what has happened to DJ Durkin’s Auburn defense? A unit that finished 12th nationally in rushing defense in 2025 was gashed repeatedly by Florida, and another home loss adds to Auburn’s troubling recent results at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Then we reset the SEC championship picture after a huge weekend. Ole Miss defeated LSU 32-24 in Lane Kiffin’s much-anticipated return to Oxford. The Rebels built a 24-7 halftime lead before LSU rallied to tie the game, but Trinidad Chambliss and Ole Miss answered in the fourth quarter. A late end-zone interception by Jaylon Braxton finally slammed the door on the Tigers. Ole Miss has climbed to No. 4 in the AP Top 25, while LSU dropped to No. 10. Where should the Rebels, Tigers, Alabama, Georgia and the rest of the conference stack up now? And one of the weekend’s biggest surprises came in College Station, where Kentucky stunned Texas A&M 31-21. The Aggies have fallen from No. 9 to No. 23 and now head to Baton Rouge for a massive Saturday night matchup against No. 10 LSU. Both teams enter that game 0-1 in SEC play, meaning one of them will already have two conference losses before October. Plus, Jon Sumrall picked up his first SEC victory as Florida’s head coach, the Gators are 3-0 and now ranked No. 21, and the SEC race suddenly looks a lot different than it did just one week ago. We’re breaking down all of it LIVE: Alabama vs. Florida State, Keelon Russell, Ryan Grubb, Auburn vs. Florida, Jadan Baugh, DJ Durkin, LSU vs. Ole Miss, Lane Kiffin’s Oxford return, Texas A&M’s upset loss to Kentucky, the SEC pecking order and much more. #AlabamaFootball #alabamacrimsontide #rolltide #KeelonRussell #CollegeFootball #cfbnews #secfootball #SEC #OleMissFootball #LSUFootball #lsutigers #FloridaFootball #AuburnFootball #auburntigers #wareagle #CrimsonTide #CFB #TheNextRound SUBSCRIBE: @NextRoundLive - youtube.com/@nextroundlive @TNRClips - youtube.com/@TNRClips FOLLOW TNR ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/7zlofzLZht7dYxjNcBNpWN FOLLOW TNR ON APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-next-round/id1797862560 WEBSITE: https://nextroundlive.com/ MOBILE APP: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-next-round/id1580807480 SHOP THE NEXT ROUND STORE: https://nextround.store/ Like TNR on Facebook: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Twitter: / nextroundlive Follow TNR on Instagram: / nextroundlive Follow everyone from the show on Twitter: Jim Dunaway: / jimdunaway Ryan Brown: / ryanbrownlive Lance Taylor: / thelancetaylor Scott Forester: / scottforestertv Tyler Johns: /TylerJohnsTNR Brooks Carter: /BrooksACarter Sponsor the show: sales@nextroundlive.com 00:00 introduction 00:03:00 our Kalshi plays in college football 00:07:50 Florida beats Auburn, Jon Sumrall sounds off 00:25:45 defense struggles in Alabama's win over Florida State 00:36:30 viewing menu 00:48:10 Alabama coaches meet the media 01:10:00 SEC kickoff times 01:17:45 4 Downs 01:35:15 MLB season coming down the stretch 01:40:45 Monday Night Football: Giants vs. Rams 01:48:45 Trash Learn more about your ad choices.

TNR on Sport & State 9/21/26 - Hour 1 | Ole Miss Wins the War v. LSU & Texas A&M STUNNED
🔥 LSU vs. OLE MISS: KIFFIN FALLS IN OXFORD Ole Miss took down LSU 32-24 in Lane Kiffin’s return to Oxford. The Rebels built an early lead, LSU battled back, and the game came down to a late stand near the goal line. Ole Miss held, secured the win and handed LSU a costly early SEC loss. Trinidad Chambliss delivered a huge performance, and now the questions are piling up for LSU. What went wrong? How big was this for Ole Miss? And what does it mean for the SEC and College Football Playoff race? 😳 TEXAS A&M vs. KENTUCKY: AGGIES STUNNED Kentucky walked into Kyle Field and shocked Texas A&M 31-21. Now the pressure ramps up immediately. Texas A&M travels to LSU next, and both teams enter that matchup already 0-1 in SEC play. One of them will leave with TWO conference losses before October. 🐘 ALABAMA vs. FLORIDA STATE: BAMA ROARS BACK Alabama looked stunned early after falling behind Florida State 21-6. Then the Crimson Tide exploded. Keelon Russell and the Alabama offense flipped the game and stormed back for a wild 50-36 victory. Was this the breakthrough Alabama needed? How concerning was the slow start? And did the Tide show enough offensive firepower to look like a true SEC and CFP contender?

MML 9/21/26 | Lane Kiffin Gets BOOED OUT of Oxford! Ole Miss STUNNED LSU + Alabama SURVIVES FSU
Welcome back to Monday Morning Live, hosted by ESPN analyst Tom Luginbill and Jim Dunaway of The Next Round! Ole Miss got the last word on Lane Kiffin — at least for one unforgettable night in Oxford. On today’s LIVE edition of The Next Round, we break down a wild weekend across the SEC, beginning with No. 4 Ole Miss’ emotional 32-24 victory over Lane Kiffin and LSU. Pete Golding’s Rebels jumped out to a 24-7 halftime lead, survived LSU’s second-half comeback and watched Trinidad Chambliss deliver another star performance with 363 passing yards, two touchdown passes and the go-ahead rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. Did Pete Golding outcoach Kiffin in his highly anticipated return to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium? How much of the difference was Chambliss? And after improving to 5-1 as a head coach with four victories over ranked opponents, what does Golding’s incredible start mean for the future of Ole Miss football? We also discuss what the loss means for Kiffin, Sam Leavitt and an LSU team that entered Oxford ranked No. 7. Then it’s Alabama. The Crimson Tide erased a 21-6 deficit and survived two lightning delays to beat Florida State 50-36, with freshman quarterback Keelon Russell delivering the best performance of his young career. Russell threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, added a 57-yard rushing score and helped Alabama pile up 567 total yards. But should Alabama fans be concerned about the defense? Florida State threw for 377 yards and repeatedly created explosive plays against the Crimson Tide secondary. We examine Alabama’s slow starts, problems getting off the field defensively, Kane Wommack’s secondary, the Tide’s three interceptions and an encouraging rushing attack that finished with 247 yards and took over late. Plus, Florida made a major statement in Jon Sumrall’s SEC debut with a 44-39 road victory over Auburn. Jadan Baugh exploded for 162 rushing yards and three touchdowns as the Gators controlled the ground game and improved to 3-0. What did Florida show us at Jordan-Hare Stadium? How significant was this win for Sumrall? And where does Alex Golesh and Auburn go after a frustrating defensive performance in its SEC opener? We’re also hitting the rest of a chaotic SEC Saturday: Kentucky stunned No. 9 Texas A&M 31-21 in College Station behind Kenny Minchey and CJ Baxter. Mississippi State erased an early 16-0 deficit and won 41-34 at South Carolina as Kamario Taylor threw four touchdown passes and the Bulldogs improved to 3-0. And Vanderbilt somehow pulled off one of the craziest endings you’ll ever see, beating NC State 35-31 after the Wolfpack fumbled while attempting an intentional safety and Vanderbilt recovered in the end zone for the winning touchdown with one second remaining. Ole Miss. LSU. Alabama. Florida State. Florida. Auburn. Kentucky. Texas A&M. Mississippi State. South Carolina. Vanderbilt. We’re breaking down everything from a massive Week 3 across college football and what it means as the SEC race begins to take shape.

TNR 9/18/26 | Auburn vs Florida a “Season Definer”? Does Alabama Even Need Revenge?
It’s a massive SEC football weekend, and we’re LIVE breaking down the biggest games, storylines and questions surrounding Auburn, Florida, Alabama, Florida State, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State and South Carolina. 🔥 FLORIDA GATORS at AUBURN TIGERS — Is This Already a Season-Defining Game? Florida and Auburn both enter Saturday night at 2-0, but now the schedule gets serious. For Jon Sumrall and the Gators, Auburn begins a stretch that includes Ole Miss, Missouri, South Carolina, Texas, Georgia and Oklahoma. Alex Golesh and the Tigers still have Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss and Alabama among the challenges ahead. Could one September SEC opener dramatically change the direction of either program’s first season under its new head coach? We examine what a win—or a loss—could mean for both Florida and Auburn. 🐘 FLORIDA STATE at #10 ALABAMA — Does the Crimson Tide Even Need Revenge? Florida State stunned Alabama 31-17 in Tallahassee to open the 2025 season, a loss that became one of the defining moments of Alabama’s year. But the two programs went in very different directions afterward: Alabama recovered to finish 11-4 and reach the College Football Playoff quarterfinals, while FSU finished 5-7. Alabama enters the 2026 rematch 2-0, while Florida State arrives in Tuscaloosa at 1-1. So is Kalen DeBoer’s team actually thinking about revenge—or has Alabama already moved far beyond what happened last August? 🐯 #7 LSU at #8 OLE MISS — Can This Possibly Be a Normal Football Game? Lane Kiffin returns to Oxford for the first time as LSU’s head coach, and virtually everything surrounding this game has become a story. Ole Miss has increased security for Kiffin’s return, a fence has reportedly been added around the visiting-team bus arrival area, LSU defensive end Princewill Umanmielen was served court papers stemming from Ole Miss’ lawsuit, and the rhetoric surrounding the matchup has spilled into Louisiana politics. Then there’s LSU quarterback Sam Leavitt. After initially being listed as doubtful, Leavitt was upgraded to questionable ahead of Saturday night’s Top-10 showdown, adding another layer of intrigue to one of the wildest game weeks of the 2026 college football season. 🐶 MISSISSIPPI STATE at SOUTH CAROLINA — How High Can the Bulldogs Climb? Mississippi State and South Carolina are both 2-0 heading into their SEC opener in Columbia. The Bulldogs are coming off an impressive 38-13 road win at Minnesota, while South Carolina has opened with victories over Kent State and Towson. If Mississippi State walks into Williams-Brice Stadium and leaves 3-0, how dramatically should the Bulldogs rise in the SEC Power Rankings? 🍗 PLUS: BUFFALO WILD WINGS PICK THREE! We make our Buffalo Wild Wings Pick Three selections and get you ready for one of the biggest Saturdays yet of the 2026 college football season.

Last Call | Alabama vs. Florida State: REVENGE in Tuscaloosa? Jake Coker Breaks It Down
Alabama vs. Florida State is back — and this time the Seminoles are coming to Tuscaloosa. On a new episode of The Next Round’s Last Call, Mick Gillespie and former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker preview the Crimson Tide’s highly anticipated rematch with Florida State in what we’re calling “Coker Bowl 2.” Florida State stunned Alabama 31-17 in Tallahassee in 2025, but the setting and circumstances are dramatically different for the rematch. No. 10 Alabama enters 2-0 and is currently favored by roughly 19.5 points as the Crimson Tide welcomes FSU to Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday. What does Alabama have to do differently this time? Jake explains why protecting the football and establishing the running game early could be critical for an Alabama offense led by Keelon Russell. The guys also discuss the potential return of right guard Michael Carroll, Alabama’s improving offensive line and whether the Crimson Tide can impose its physicality from the opening drive. Defensively, Alabama has been dominant on third down, allowing opponents to convert just 1 of 23 third-down attempts through its first two games. That unit now faces a Florida State offense built around quarterback Ashton Daniels and running back Ousmane Kromah, with FSU needing its physical rushing attack to create manageable third downs and keep pressure off Daniels. But is this really a revenge game? Coker discusses how roster turnover and the transfer portal have changed the psychology of college football revenge games before sharing stories from his own playing career about how elite teams manufacture motivation. That includes Scott Cochran using the Kick Six as fuel, Nick Saban demanding championship-level practice intensity regardless of the opponent, Coker’s memories from Florida State before a huge Clemson road game, and the kind of relentless effort that separated Alabama’s best teams. Then things get lighter as the former quarterback — who spent time at both Florida State and Alabama — settles some Tuscaloosa vs. Tallahassee debates: 🏈 Alabama helmet or Florida State helmet? 🍻 Tuscaloosa or Tallahassee bar scene? 🍽️ Which town has the better food? 🏫 Which campus gets the edge? 🎣 Fishing or deer hunting? 🏛️ Denny Chimes or Westcott Fountain? 😎 And the ultimate debate: Joe Namath or Burt Reynolds? Coker also delivers his Five Guys Sports college football picks for the week, including South Carolina against Mississippi State, Louisville against SMU and Clemson against North Carolina. If you’re looking for an in-depth Alabama vs. Florida State preview, Crimson Tide football analysis, stories from inside the Nick Saban era, Jake Coker’s perspective on both programs and college football betting picks, this episode of Last Call has you covered.
