    Last Call | Jake Coker BLASTS Jayden Daniels Over LSU Jersey Drama + Alabama QB Battle

    Former Alabama Crimson Tide national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie on another episode of Last Call to break down the biggest storylines coming out of Alabama Football fall camp — including the battle between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack, injuries in the Crimson Tide running back room, emerging playmakers and much more. Who has the edge in the Alabama quarterback competition? Coker and Gillispie discuss what Keelon Russell's ability to create outside the pocket could mean in his battle with Austin Mack, while also looking at the competition and chemistry developing along the Alabama offensive line. The guys also dive into the Crimson Tide's running back depth, the impact of AK Dear's injury, and the players getting opportunities to step up. Plus, they discuss the development of Ryan Williams and Daniel Hill as Alabama searches for its next wave of offensive playmakers. Coker also shares some incredible memories of Derrick Henry's legendary work ethic at Alabama, including the kind of weight-room dedication that helped turn Henry into one of the most physically dominant running backs in college football and the NFL. Then the conversation shifts to Baton Rouge and the growing controversy involving Jayden Daniels and LSU's No. 5 jersey. Coker explains why he believes the program should always be bigger than one individual player and compares the situation to his own experience wearing No. 14 at Alabama, a number previously worn by Crimson Tide names including Don Hutson, Steve Sloan, Tyler Watts and John Parker Wilson. 🏈 Topics include: • Keelon Russell vs. Austin Mack in the Alabama QB battle • Alabama fall camp standouts • Ryan Williams and Daniel Hill • Crimson Tide running back injuries and depth • Derrick Henry stories from Jake Coker • Alabama's offensive line competition • Jayden Daniels' LSU No. 5 jersey controversy • The tradition of jersey numbers in college football If you're an Alabama Football, SEC Football or college football fan, make sure to LIKE this video and SUBSCRIBE to The Next Round for more Crimson Tide coverage, interviews, analysis and college football conversation throughout the 2026 season. #AlabamaFootball #RollTide #CollegeFootball #SECFootball #JakeCoker #KeelonRussell #AustinMack #JaydenDaniels #LSUFootball #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 Learn more about your ad choices.

    T-Bob Hebert: What Does Lane Kiffin HAVE to Do in Year 1 at LSU?

    Barstool Sports’ T-Bob Hebert joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation on two of the biggest storylines in the SEC: Is Alabama Football starting to decline, and what does Lane Kiffin have to accomplish in Year 1 at LSU for the season to be considered a success? T-Bob breaks down the state of the Alabama Crimson Tide, whether the program is still operating at a championship level, and how expectations in Tuscaloosa have changed in the post-Nick Saban era. Then the conversation turns to LSU Football and Lane Kiffin. With enormous expectations surrounding Kiffin’s first season in Baton Rouge, what is the realistic standard for success? Does LSU need to make the College Football Playoff immediately? Is competing for an SEC Championship the expectation? And how much pressure is there on Kiffin to prove that LSU can once again become one of college football’s elite programs? We also dive into the Jayden Daniels No. 5 jersey controversy at LSU and the drama surrounding one of the most recognizable numbers in recent Tigers history. What does the situation say about LSU, its former Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, and the way Lane Kiffin is handling his new program? T-Bob gives his perspective on Lane Kiffin, LSU, Jayden Daniels, Alabama, the SEC, the College Football Playoff race, and what could be ahead for two of the conference’s biggest brands in the 2026 college football season.

    Last Call | Alabama QB Battle HEATS UP: Is Keelon Russell About to Beat Out Austin Mack?

    The Alabama quarterback battle between Keelon Russell and Austin Mack is heating up after the Crimson Tide’s first fall camp scrimmage — and former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker knows exactly what it’s like to fight for the starting job in Tuscaloosa. On this episode of Last Call on The Next Round, Coker joins Mick Gillispie to break down Alabama Football’s biggest storylines coming out of the scrimmage, including the Russell vs. Mack QB competition, injuries in the running back room and the position battles that could shape Kalen DeBoer’s offense in 2026. Coker explains what quarterbacks go through mentally during a heated competition and why blocking out fan expectations and outside noise is crucial. The guys also discuss whether Keelon Russell’s playmaking ability and athleticism could ultimately give him the edge over Austin Mack — and what Alabama’s coaches will be looking for before naming a starter. The conversation also turns to a suddenly banged-up Alabama backfield. AK Dear’s injury adds another question mark, while freshman EJ Crowell has also missed time. That makes veteran Daniel Hill even more important as Alabama tries to reestablish the physical running game that has traditionally defined Crimson Tide football. Plus, Jake and Mick discuss: • Keelon Russell vs. Austin Mack after Alabama’s first scrimmage • What Jake Coker learned from QB battles at Florida State and Alabama • Why scrimmages feel completely different from actual games • Whether Russell’s upside could win him the starting job • The latest concerns surrounding AK Dear and EJ Crowell • Daniel Hill’s transformation into a throwback Alabama power back • Freshman Trae’shawn Brown making noise in the backfield • Alabama’s battle at right guard • Who can emerge as another weapon alongside Ryan Williams and Lotzeir Brooks • Why fixing Alabama’s running game could be critical in 2026 Can Keelon Russell beat out Austin Mack for QB1, or will Mack’s experience in Kalen DeBoer’s system win out? 👍 Like the video if you enjoy Alabama Football coverage. 🔔 Subscribe to The Next Round for more Crimson Tide news, analysis, interviews and college football coverage throughout the 2026 season. #AlabamaFootball #RollTide #KeelonRussell #AustinMack #JakeCoker #CrimsonTide #KalenDeBoer #CollegeFootball #SECfootball #TheNextRound #LastCall 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 Learn more about your ad choices.

    Jayden Daniels vs. LSU Over No. 5? Aaron Murray Reacts to the Jersey Drama

    ESPN college football analyst and SEC all-time leading passer Aaron Murray joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation on some of the biggest storylines heading into the 2026 college football season. We start with the increasingly messy situation between Jayden Daniels and LSU. Daniels’ attorneys have sent LSU a cease-and-desist regarding the use of his name, image and likeness after the Tigers allowed star defensive back DJ Pickett to wear Daniels’ No. 5 — making Pickett the first LSU player to wear the number since Daniels’ Heisman Trophy season. With Lane Kiffin now leading the Tigers, should LSU have kept No. 5 out of circulation? And what does a school owe one of the greatest players in program history? Aaron also breaks down several of the SEC’s biggest quarterback questions: 🏈 Ole Miss Football — Can Trinidad Chambliss produce similar numbers without Lane Kiffin’s offensive system? 🏈 South Carolina Football — What should Gamecock fans expect from LaNorris Sellers in Kendal Briles’ offense? 🏈 Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma — Who does Aaron Murray trust more at quarterback: Marcel Reed or John Mateer? Plus, we ask Aaron which SEC stadiums and campuses he has never visited, and one of his answers absolutely stunned us.
