Oregon EXPOSED? Brock Huard Breaks Down College Football & the NFL Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Brock Huard joins The Next Round to break down the biggest storylines across college football and the NFL!

Oklahoma State stunned Oregon in one of the season’s biggest upsets—but did the Cowboys expose predictable “tells” in the Ducks’ offense? Brock examines what went wrong for Dan Lanning and Oregon, how Oklahoma State pulled off the upset and whether the Ducks’ offensive tendencies could remain a problem moving forward.

We also evaluate the top quarterbacks in college football and ask whether any of them currently look like sure-fire NFL quarterbacks. Brock shares his assessment of Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor, including the young playmaker’s talent, development and potential at the next level.

Then, the conversation shifts to the NFL:

🏈 What is fueling Sean Payton’s frustration in Denver?

🏈 Why have the Chicago Bears become one of the NFL’s most entertaining teams?

🏈 Could the massive expectations surrounding the Los Angeles Rams become a curse?

🏈 Does New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart have some Lane Kiffin in him?

🏈 Which college football stars have legitimate NFL potential?

Brock Huard brings his unique perspective as a former college football star, NFL quarterback and longtime analyst to a wide-ranging conversation covering Oklahoma State, Oregon, Mississippi State, Kamario Taylor, the Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Rams, Jaxson Dart and much more.

Show notes

“The Film Guy” Brooks Austin joins The Next Round to break down the biggest storylines across SEC football and the college football landscape.

Kamario Taylor has officially put the college football world on notice—but how high is his ceiling after his breakout performance? Brooks breaks down Taylor’s film, athleticism and playmaking ability before examining whether Alabama has finally fixed its rushing attack.

We also discuss Arch Manning leading the Texas Longhorns to a dramatic comeback victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes, what fueled Georgia’s offensive explosion and whether the Bulldogs have found another gear.

Plus, Brooks previews Saturday’s SEC showdown between the Auburn Tigers and Florida Gators at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Where are Auburn’s biggest advantages, what problems can Florida create and which matchup could ultimately decide the game?

Finally, we look ahead to the chaos coming to Oxford when Lane Kiffin returns to face Ole Miss as the head coach of the LSU Tigers. With Kiffin back inside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium, College GameDay in town and major SEC implications on the line, could LSU vs. Ole Miss become the wildest game of the college football weekend?

🏈 Kamario Taylor’s breakout and rapidly rising national profile

🏈 Has Alabama finally fixed its running game?

🏈 Arch Manning’s dramatic Texas comeback against Ohio State

🏈 Auburn vs. Florida preview and key matchups

TNR 9/15/26 - Hour 4 | 6 SEC Teams in the College Football Playoff?! Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Brock Huard talks college football and NFL

After another wild weekend, we rank all 16 SEC teams. Who belongs at the top between Texas and Georgia? How high should LSU, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and Alabama climb? Where does undefeated Auburn belong? And which SEC teams should already be moving in the wrong direction?

The SEC has dominated the early rankings, and some of the Big Ten’s biggest contenders have already taken hits. If Texas, Georgia, LSU, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Alabama and others keep winning, how many realistic CFP bids could the conference earn?

We look at the SEC’s playoff path, the teams with the strongest résumés and which programs actually look capable of surviving a brutal conference schedule.

TNR 9/15/26 - Hour 3 | Alabama vs. Ashton Daniels & Auburn's WR Issue? Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

No. 10 Alabama hosts Florida State on Saturday in Tuscaloosa, and the Crimson Tide defense will see a quarterback it knows very well.

Florida State quarterback Ashton Daniels played for Auburn in 2025 and started against Alabama in the Iron Bowl, throwing for 259 yards while adding 108 rushing yards in Auburn’s 27-20 loss.

Now Daniels returns to the state of Alabama wearing garnet and gold. Through Florida State’s first two games of 2026, Daniels has thrown for 327 yards and two touchdowns while adding 101 rushing yards and two more scores.

Can Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide defense contain Daniels’ dual-threat ability again? And can Alabama continue building momentum after its 45-17 SEC road win at Kentucky?

Auburn is 2-0 under Alex Golesh after beating Baylor 17-16 and Southern Miss 43-8, but is the Tigers’ passing game getting enough explosive production from its wide receivers?

Byrum Brown bounced back against Southern Miss with 226 passing yards and two touchdown passes, while Chas Nimrod caught a career-high seven passes for 52 yards and De’Shawn Spencer recorded his first career touchdown catch.

Show notes

Chiefs top Broncos on MNF

Ralphie has some serious brakes

One of the biggest games of the college football weekend takes place in Oxford as the No. 7 LSU Tigers visit the No. 8 Ole Miss Rebels in a massive SEC showdown.

TNR 9/14/26 | Alabama DOMINATES Kentucky, Auburn STOMPS Southern Miss, SEC on TOP? Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

Is the SEC officially the best conference in college football again? After a wild Week 2 that featured huge wins for Alabama, Auburn, Texas and Mississippi State — while Ohio State and Oregon both went down — we’re breaking down what it all means LIVE! 🐘 ALABAMA DOMINATES KENTUCKY AFTER HALFTIME The Alabama Crimson Tide survived a rough first half in Lexington before completely taking control against the Kentucky Wildcats, turning a 17-13 halftime deficit into a convincing 45-17 SEC road victory. Kalen DeBoer’s Crimson Tide outscored Kentucky 32-0 in the second half, while the Alabama defense held the Wildcats to just 209 total yards and only 62 yards after halftime. Linebacker Luke Metz provided one of the biggest plays of the afternoon with a pick-six, and Alabama forced three turnovers. But was the biggest development Alabama finally finding something in the running game? The Crimson Tide rushed for 155 yards, led by Daniel Hill’s career-high 104 rushing yards and a touchdown. After questions about Alabama’s offensive line and its ability to consistently establish the run, was Saturday’s second-half performance a sign that the Tide is beginning to find its identity? 🔥 Do you feel better about Alabama’s running game after the Kentucky win? 🦅 BYRUM BROWN AND AUBURN KEEP ROLLING The Auburn Tigers moved to 2-0 with a dominant 43-8 win over Southern Miss in Alex Golesh’s Jordan-Hare Stadium debut. Auburn absolutely controlled the line of scrimmage, rushing for a massive 343 yards while limiting the Southern Miss Golden Eagles to just 50 rushing yards. Auburn has now opened the season with back-to-back games of more than 300 rushing yards for the first time since 2021. The Auburn quarterback completed 18 of 29 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns, added 88 rushing yards, and even caught a touchdown pass. Brown continues to look extremely comfortable running Alex Golesh’s offense as Auburn prepares to enter SEC play. 🏆 IS THE SEC THE BEST CONFERENCE IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL? Two weeks into the 2026 college football season, the SEC suddenly has a strong argument for being the nation’s best conference. Meanwhile, the Big Ten took some major hits. No. 1 Ohio State collapsed against Texas after taking a 23-3 lead into the fourth quarter, while No. 6 Oregon suffered a stunning 39-31 loss at Oklahoma State. The Big Ten went just 2-6 in Power Four nonconference games during the weekend. The new AP Top 25 reflects the shift: the SEC has nine ranked teams, including six of the Top 10, while Texas has climbed all the way to No. 1. 🔥 Has the SEC already reclaimed its spot as college football’s best conference? 🤘 IS TEXAS REALLY THE BEST TEAM IN THE COUNTRY? For three quarters against Ohio State, the Texas Longhorns looked anything but the best team in college football. Then everything changed. Trailing 23-3 entering the fourth quarter, Arch Manning and Texas scored three unanswered touchdowns to stun the Buckeyes 24-23 in Austin. It was the largest fourth-quarter comeback ever by a team defeating an AP No. 1 opponent. Arch Manning caught fire late, Texas’ defense slammed the door, and Steve Sarkisian’s Longhorns completed a comeback that immediately changed the national championship conversation. We’re breaking down Alabama football, Auburn football, Texas football, SEC football, the College Football Playoff race, Arch Manning, Byrum Brown, Daniel Hill, Kalen DeBoer, Alex Golesh and everything that came out of a chaotic Week 2 of the 2026 college football season.

TNR on Sport & State 9/14/26 - Hour 1 | BAD DAY For Big Ten? Ohio State STUNNED, Oregon LAYS EGG, Texas No. 1? Sep 14, 2026

Show notes

The Oregon Ducks seemingly had a layup game for the second week of the season but the Oklahoma State Cowboys didn’t participate. Oklahoma State stunned Oregon in Stillwater and the Ducks have defensive issues.

The Ohio State Buckeyes collapsed in the final quarter at the Texas Longhorns. Arch Manning led Texas as they stormed back from a 17 point deficit for the win.

Do you think Texas is the best team in the nation based on one quarter of play?

The one bright spot for the Big Ten was the 17-10 Michigan Wolverines win over the Oklahoma Sooners. Michigan bounced back from a controversy filled week and completely throttled the Oklahoma offense.
