    Last Call | Alabama on UPSET ALERT vs Vanderbilt?! Jake Coker's SEC Picks

    Alabama football heads to Nashville for a showdown with Vanderbilt, and former Crimson Tide national championship quarterback Jake Coker and veteran analyst Mick Gillispie are breaking it all down on a new episode of LAST CALL on The Next Round, presented by Pearl River Resort! Coming off Alabama's 31-13 road win over LSU, the Crimson Tide are dealing with an emotional blow: tight end Josh Ford is out for the season with a knee injury. Jake explains why Ford's toughness, leadership, physical blocking and energy mean so much more to this Alabama team than the box score shows. How does Kalen DeBoer replace that presence as the Tide pushes toward the Iron Bowl and College Football Playoff? 🏈 ALABAMA vs. VANDERBILT PREVIEW Can Alabama avoid another Nashville scare? Mick and Jake revisit Vanderbilt's historic 2024 upset, discuss whether the Tide can control the line of scrimmage, and examine what DeBoer and offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb need from the running game. With quarterback Keelon Russell listed as probable following an ankle injury against LSU, they also debate whether backup Austin Mack could step in if needed. Plus, why Jake is impressed by defensive coordinator Kane Wommack and what to expect from Alabama fans in Nashville. 🔥 JAKE COKER'S COLLEGE FOOTBALL PICKS & SEC PREDICTIONS Who covers, who's on upset alert, and which favorites should bettors question? Jake shares his opinions on: Missouri at Georgia — Can the Tigers cover against the Bulldogs? Utah at Arizona — Could the Wildcats spoil the Utes' undefeated season? Tennessee at Texas A&M — Is an Aggies upset brewing? Auburn at Mississippi State — Can the Bulldogs take advantage of Auburn's inconsistency? Texas at LSU — What should we make of Lane Kiffin's aggressive decisions and the Tigers' unpredictable play? 😂 PLUS: Jake's caffeine-fueled morning, a comparison to Georgia QB Gunner Stockton from former Alabama lineman Mike Johnson, stories about toughness and team chemistry, and details on an upcoming Nashville live show! 🎰 PRESENTED BY PEARL RIVER RESORT Also featuring Patriot Roofing & Builders and Residence Inn by Marriott Ocean City. 👇 DROP YOUR PICKS BELOW: Will Alabama handle Vanderbilt?

    TNR 11/12/26 - Hour 3 | Alabama LOSES Josh Ford! Why Auburn Likes the 24-Team CFP

    🏈 ALABAMA FOOTBALL: HOW BIG IS THE LOSS OF JOSH FORD? The Alabama Crimson Tide are losing one of their most important offensive contributors after tight end Josh Ford suffered a season-ending injury during Alabama's 31-13 victory over LSU. Ford's contributions went far beyond his receiving statistics, as his physical blocking helped establish the identity of Alabama's offense. How will Kalen DeBoer and offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb replace Ford's production and physicality? Can Kaleb Edwards, Danny Lewis Jr., Jay Lindsey, and Marshall Pritchett step up? We examine why Alabama's tight end room has been so valuable and what this injury means for the Crimson Tide's playoff push. 🏆 24-TEAM COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF: AUBURN'S GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY?

We discuss how expansion impacts Auburn, the SEC, rebuilding programs, and the future of college football.
