With Auburn in full camp mode and 30 days from its season opener at Baylor, writer Kevin Scarbinsky joined The Auburn Undercover Podcast to examine the Tigers' progress, depth, and the challenges that will define their season. Scarbinsky discussed Hugh Freeze's approach to camp, including his emphasis on building quarterback confidence by tailoring practice reps. "I don't know that I've ever heard a coach put it quite that way," he said, noting how Freeze wants his quarterback to "walk off the field feeling good about himself." The conversation also highlighted Auburn's offensive upgrades. Jackson Arnold's SEC experience provides stability at quarterback, while depth at running back and wide receiver could give Freeze more flexibility. "The roster is better across the board," Scarbinsky said. "If they can navigate September, this team has a chance to make real noise." Defensively, Scarbinsky pointed to Keldric Faulk's development and DJ Durkin's aggressive approach. He emphasized that early tests at Baylor, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma will reveal how quickly Auburn can put its talent together. "If they can get out of that stretch 2-1," Scarbinsky added, "it changes the outlook for the entire season."

Justin and Dan open the show by breaking down the recent trio of transfer portal pickups for Auburn football: Maryland linebacker Caleb Wheatland, returning Liberty defensive lineman Jay Hardy and Florida A&M defensive lineman James Ash. They look at the past production of the three additions and how they might become valuable depth pieces — or better — this fall.The guys use that news to transition into an overall look at the Auburn football defense at this point in the offseason. They look back at the biggest problem that plagued that side of the ball in 2024 and how it could be fixed in 2025. Dan points out all the youth the Tigers had last year. Justin looks at how Auburn might be somewhat ahead of schedule on defense, judging by DJ Durkin's past SEC stops.The episode ends with a look at Auburn basketball's addition of Elyjah Freeman and how unique his path to the Plains has been. The guys discuss Freeman's strengths, where he fits in the best on the roster and how he affects the rest of the offseason plans under Bruce Pearl. They close with a discussion of the top TV offerings on the streaming service that will always be known as HBO Max.If you're receiving this free podcast episode and would like to upgrade to a paid subscription that gives you access to all stories and premium podcast episodes, subscribe using the button below or clicking this link.Follow Dan (@dnpck) and Justin (@JFergusonAU) on Twitter.

Jim Dunaway, Lance Taylor and Ryan Brown are back at it this Tuesday! Welcome to Trap Game Tuesday! The Auburn Tigers are on the road at The Vanderbilt Commodores tonight. While Auburn Basketball is a big favorite, they are in the dangerous territory of the dreaded “Trap Game” before going to Tuscaloosa Saturday. The Alabama Crimson Tide is in a little more difficult spot. Alabama Basketball is on the road at The Texas Longhorns. Bama is a slim road favorite tonight, also in “Trap Game” territory with Auburn one the horizon. The AP Poll made history for the State of Alabama Monday. Auburn is #1, Alabama is #2 which sets up the first ever 1 v. 2 in an Auburn/Alabama game. Auburn and Alabama lose tonight if… Beyond the two trap games, could tonight be the greatest night of upsets in SEC Basketball history? One of the more unique NIL deals in the short NIL history for Alabama Football WR Ryan Williams. Auburn Football gave DJ Durkin the bag. How important is he to the Tigers 2025 success? Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith is in rare air after Super Bowl LIX. Is there a way the Eagles actually become a dynasty? Is there a dynasty on the horizon in any major sport? Former Auburn and NFL QB Cam Newton continues to talk and former teammates continue to not like it. Visit the TNR store: https://nextround.store/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comSometimes, the haters call Split Zone Duo “an NFL podcast.” Today we prove them right by previewing the Super Bowl in our own way. Joining Alex and Richard is special guest Arif Hasan, publisher of Wide Left, a great newsletter that covers three of the biggest beats shaping our society: the NFL, current affairs, and the Minnesota Vikings. See Arif's publication below, and follow him @ArifHasanNFL. Our conversation is wide-ranging and covers the following topics:* The state of the Vikings (Richard could not resist) * Whether wide receiver drops are now cool, as evidenced by the Chiefs having a good offense with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and a bunch of receivers who have cinderblocks attached to their hands * “The Shanahan offense.” At this point, what is it? * The nation's Brock Purdy affair: Is he good? And why has he become the touchstone of an American culture war over whether he's good or not? * Taylor Swift should be the end of “distraction” discourse in football. But. * Game picks One publication note: Alex mentioned in the recording that Swift is suing a college student over a plane tracker. To clarify and be more accurate, as of press time, her lawyers hadn't filed suit but were threatening that they would. This episode is for premium subscribers of SZD and Wide Left. Subscribe to SZD's paid offerings here on Substack and you'll get lots of podcasts, newsletters, and Q&A opportunities, including these ones just in the past few weeks * Alex's essay on DJ Durkin, Maryland, and Jordan McNair.
