Is SMU Ready to Take the Next Step? | Rhett Lashlee Joins The Next Round Aug 06, 2026

Show notes

SMU Football Head Coach Rhett Lashlee joins The Next Round for an in-depth conversation about the Mustangs’ expectations entering another season in the ACC.

Coach Lashlee discusses the return of quarterback Kevin Jennings, how SMU has handled its first two years in the ACC and why the conference is stronger than many college football fans realize. He also explains how the disappointment of missing the College Football Playoff last season—after reaching it the year before—has motivated the Mustangs throughout the offseason.

Plus, Lashlee shares what advice he would give the younger version of himself at the beginning of his coaching career, previews SMU’s highly anticipated road game at Notre Dame and much more.

Can Kevin Jennings and the Mustangs compete for an ACC championship this season? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Roman Harper on Kalen DeBoer, Alabama’s Toughness & NFL “Camp Eyes” Aug 06, 2026

Show notes

SEC Network analyst and former Alabama Crimson Tide and NFL standout Roman Harper joins The Next Round for a wide-ranging conversation about Alabama football, Oklahoma football, NFL training camp life and more.

Roman addresses his recent criticism of the time of day Kalen DeBoer chooses to hold Alabama practices and explains why practice conditions can matter when building a tough, championship-caliber football team. Is Alabama physical and mentally tough enough under DeBoer to compete for an SEC Championship and return to the College Football Playoff?

Harper also breaks down Alabama’s loaded secondary and the elite defensive backs who could make the Crimson Tide defense one of the best units in college football. Plus, Roman discusses Oklahoma and whether an improved Sooners offense can help Brent Venables’ defense by controlling the football, sustaining drives and keeping the defense off the field.

The former NFL safety also shares hilarious behind-the-scenes stories about NFL training camp, including the reality of “camp eyes,” life inside an NFL locker room and what players experience during the grind of preseason camp.
