Longshore and McKnight: Iron Bowl week, Auburn’s comeback in Maui, crunch time for DeBoer, and more

In this episode of Longshore and McKnight, the hosts kick off with the excitement of Iron Bowl week, highlighting Auburn’s dramatic comeback victory over Iowa State in Maui. The win marked a significant milestone as Auburn became the first team in program history to notch two top-five non-conference wins in a single season, setting the stage for a matchup against North Carolina.

Available now on YouTube and Spotify🎙️🔊 You can stream the show live from 7 to 9 a.m. every weekday.

The basketball segment transitions into Alabama’s own hardwood challenges, with a preview of their showdown against Houston in Las Vegas during a groundbreaking NIL-powered tournament offering $9 million in opportunities to players across eight top teams.

The conversation shifts to Alabama football, where the hosts analyze the fallout from the Crimson Tide’s stunning 24-3 loss to Oklahoma. They attribute the defeat to poor execution, lapses in leadership, and a lack of physicality, questioning both Jalen Milroe’s performance and the defensive shortcomings that allowed 200+ rushing yards in the first half. The team’s psyche and preparation come under scrutiny as the Iron Bowl looms large. The hosts discuss how first-year head coach Kalen DeBoer faces critical weeks ahead, with the Iron Bowl, signing day, transfer decisions, potential staff changes, and NIL considerations set to shape Alabama’s trajectory.
