Bryan Matthews and Jay G. Tate reconvene to discuss the most pressing news, which today centers around the Tigers' uneven, road loss at Ole Miss and some odd things that happened during that ballgame.

Also included:

• We bid adieu to Mike Norvell and Ben Arbuckle.
• Lack of "finish" is the new catch phrase at Auburn.
• Auburn's defense looked tired because it was. Does Melendez have to play every snap?
• Auburn is defending too many snaps in general. Why is that?
• It's OK to hand the ball off more than 15 times per game, right?
• What is going wrong with all these TFLs involving the offense?
• Some learned observers feel like the OL problems aren't directly a function of weak players.
• These three-play possessions must stop — and that right soon.
• Caleb Williams: Can he handle 20-25 minutes per game at wing?
• Shoutouts. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Jeffrey Lee, Cole Pinkston, and Alan Head discuss the latest trends for Auburn's 2027 class. Signing day is about a month away and the Tigers are making final cuts, changes, and additions to the class.
