  1. Alabama vs LSU Preview: Keys to a Crimson Tide Victory at Tiger Stadium

    Show notes

    AJ McCarron, Trent Richardson and Chris Stewart break down LSU vs Alabama and what the Crimson Tide must do to leave Baton Rouge with a victory. Plus, the guys look back at some of the great moments in the history of the Alabama-LSU rivalry and determine which SEC teams are College Football Playoff contenders.

    They start the show by reliving the 2011 "Game of the Century" and Alabama's national title game win over LSU in the rematch.

    Then, they dissect this year's matchup between the Tide and Lane Kiffin's Tigers. They dive into why Keelon Russell gives Alabama the edge at quarterback, the importance of establishing the run against LSU's stingy defense and the boost Racin Delgatty could provide if he returns to the lineup.

    They wrap up the show by discussing which SEC teams are truly College Football Playoff contenders and which ones are merely pretenders.

  13. Keelon Russell Wins Bama's QB Job, How Far Can He Take the Crimson Tide?

    Show notes

    Keelon Russell is Alabama football's new starting quarterback, now what comes next for the Crimson Tide's dynamic QB?

    AJ McCarron, Trent Richardson and Chris Stewart discuss what set Russell apart from Austin Mack, the tension that can come from a tight QB battle and the importance of getting behind the Tide's new QB1. AJ also goes in-depth on what Russell brings to the table and the importance of protecting the football, while Trent shares what he's heard about the young QB’s “human joystick” ability.

    Then, the guys get into the true key to Alabama’s success this season: the offensive line. With playmakers all over the field, AJ and Trent explain why the Tide will only go as far as the big guys up front can take them.
