Last Call | Alabama vs Georgia: Jake Coker Reveals What Will DECIDE This SEC Showdown! Oct 08, 2026

Show notes

🏈 ALABAMA vs. GEORGIA! HURRICANE ISAÍAS! JAKE COKER'S SEC PICKS! Former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie on Last Call, presented by Pearl River Resort, on The Next Round for an in-depth Alabama vs. Georgia preview, expert quarterback analysis, college football predictions, and some incredible stories from Coker's playing career!

The No. 6 Alabama Crimson Tide and No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs are preparing for a massive SEC showdown Saturday night in Tuscaloosa, but Hurricane Isaias could throw a major wrinkle into the matchup! Can Kalen DeBoer's Crimson Tide handle Kirby Smart's Bulldogs if rain and wind become factors at Bryant-Denny Stadium?

🌪️ ALABAMA vs. GEORGIA — WILL THE WEATHER CHANGE EVERYTHING?

Jake takes us back to Alabama's unforgettable 38-10 victory over Georgia in rainy Athens in 2015. What was it actually like throwing a soaking-wet football? How do strong winds affect accuracy, arm strength, and offensive strategy? Coker shares firsthand insight into playing quarterback in brutal conditions and explains why Saturday's battle could be won or lost in the trenches.

🐘 KEELON RUSSELL vs. GUNNER STOCKTON — THE QB BREAKDOWN

What makes Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell such a special talent? Coker breaks down Russell's elite arm strength, throwing mechanics, pocket awareness, and ability to make difficult throws. He explains how Alabama can use motion and tempo to attack Georgia's defense and why stopping the Bulldogs' rushing attack is critical to forcing Gunner Stockton into uncomfortable passing situations.

Plus, Jake recalls his unforgettable touchdown connection with Calvin Ridley against Michigan State in the 2015 Cotton Bowl and explains why great quarterbacking often requires throwing to receivers you can't actually see!

💰 COLLEGE FOOTBALL PICKS & PREDICTIONS

Jake shares his best bets for a huge college football weekend:

• Texas A&M (+3.5) at Missouri — Can the Aggies capitalize on a potential Tigers letdown?

• Oklahoma (+8.5) vs. Texas — Could the Sooners shock Arch Manning and the Longhorns in the Red River Rivalry?

• Penn State (-1.5) vs. USC — Can the Nittany Lions take advantage of home-field energy in the White Out at Beaver Stadium?

🔥 TARGETING, PLAYER SAFETY & FOOTBALL'S BIGGEST HITS

Jake and Mick also discuss the controversial hit on Oregon quarterback Dante Moore by USC linebacker Desman Stephens II. Are quarterbacks putting themselves in danger by sliding too late? Has football become too protective of offensive players? Coker shares the most violent hit he ever witnessed during his time at Florida State.

🇺🇸 Plus, Jake tells the behind-the-scenes story of meeting Donald Trump at an airport, reacts to his Trump-themed introduction video, and shares hurricane memories from the Alabama Gulf Coast.

Then, it’s time to talk Georgia Bulldogs vs. Alabama Crimson Tide. Clay shares his thoughts on Saturday’s SEC showdown and makes a bold statement about Alabama’s quarterback: he believes Keelon Russell is the best QB in college football. Hear his perspective on Russell and the Alabama–Georgia matchup as two of the sport’s biggest brands prepare to face off.

From the Third Saturday in October to Alabama vs. Georgia, this conversation covers SEC football, college football TV scheduling and one of the biggest quarterback debates in the country.
