Podcast appearances and mentions of Tom Luginbill

Texas survives Tennessee. Florida DESTROYS Ole Miss. Alabama keeps rolling. And another chaotic college football weekend gives Jim Dunaway and ESPN analyst Tom Luginbill plenty to break down on Monday Morning Live!

Welcome back to Monday Morning Live, hosted by ESPN analyst Tom Luginbill and Jim Dunaway of The Next Round! Ole Miss got the last word on Lane Kiffin — at least for one unforgettable night in Oxford. On today's LIVE edition of The Next Round, we break down a wild weekend across the SEC, beginning with No. 4 Ole Miss' emotional 32-24 victory over Lane Kiffin and LSU. Pete Golding's Rebels jumped out to a 24-7 halftime lead, survived LSU's second-half comeback and watched Trinidad Chambliss deliver another star performance with 363 passing yards, two touchdown passes and the go-ahead rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. Did Pete Golding outcoach Kiffin in his highly anticipated return to Vaught-Hemingway Stadium? How much of the difference was Chambliss? And after improving to 5-1 as a head coach with four victories over ranked opponents, what does Golding's incredible start mean for the future of Ole Miss football? We also discuss what the loss means for Kiffin, Sam Leavitt and an LSU team that entered Oxford ranked No. 7. Then it's Alabama. The Crimson Tide erased a 21-6 deficit and survived two lightning delays to beat Florida State 50-36, with freshman quarterback Keelon Russell delivering the best performance of his young career. Russell threw for 320 yards and three touchdowns, added a 57-yard rushing score and helped Alabama pile up 567 total yards. But should Alabama fans be concerned about the defense? Florida State threw for 377 yards and repeatedly created explosive plays against the Crimson Tide secondary. We examine Alabama's slow starts, problems getting off the field defensively, Kane Wommack's secondary, the Tide's three interceptions and an encouraging rushing attack that finished with 247 yards and took over late. Plus, Florida made a major statement in Jon Sumrall's SEC debut with a 44-39 road victory over Auburn. Jadan Baugh exploded for 162 rushing yards and three touchdowns as the Gators controlled the ground game and improved to 3-0. What did Florida show us at Jordan-Hare Stadium? How significant was this win for Sumrall? And where does Alex Golesh and Auburn go after a frustrating defensive performance in its SEC opener? We're also hitting the rest of a chaotic SEC Saturday: Kentucky stunned No. 9 Texas A&M 31-21 in College Station behind Kenny Minchey and CJ Baxter. Mississippi State erased an early 16-0 deficit and won 41-34 at South Carolina as Kamario Taylor threw four touchdown passes and the Bulldogs improved to 3-0. And Vanderbilt somehow pulled off one of the craziest endings you'll ever see, beating NC State 35-31 after the Wolfpack fumbled while attempting an intentional safety and Vanderbilt recovered in the end zone for the winning touchdown with one second remaining. Ole Miss. LSU. Alabama. Florida State. Florida. Auburn. Kentucky. Texas A&M. Mississippi State. South Carolina. Vanderbilt. We're breaking down everything from a massive Week 3 across college football and what it means as the SEC race begins to take shape.

Welcome back to Monday Morning Live, hosted by ESPN analyst Tom Luginbill and Jim Dunaway of The Next Round! Texas just delivered one of the wildest comebacks in college football history — and the College Football Playoff race may already look completely different. The No. 3/4 Texas Longhorns erased a 20-point fourth-quarter deficit to stun No. 1 Ohio State, 24-23, in Austin. Arch Manning helped ignite a 21-0 fourth-quarter run, Hollywood Smothers scored twice, and the Texas defense shut out the Buckeyes over the final 15 minutes to complete a historic comeback. What does the loss mean for Ohio State's College Football Playoff hopes, especially with Oregon also going down? And after a massive early-season win, should Texas now be viewed as the team to beat nationally? We also break down Alabama's SEC-opening win at Kentucky. The Crimson Tide trailed 17-13 at halftime before completely taking over, outscoring Kentucky 32-0 in the second half on the way to a 45-17 victory. Keelon Russell battled through two interceptions, Daniel Hill delivered his first career 100-yard rushing performance, and Alabama's defense created havoc with three turnovers, four sacks and another defensive touchdown. Is Kalen DeBoer's team beginning to look like a legitimate national championship contender? Plus: • Texas vs. Ohio State: How did the Longhorns pull off the historic comeback? • Arch Manning: What did we learn from his fourth-quarter performance? • Ohio State & Oregon: How much damage did their losses do to the CFP picture? • Alabama vs. Kentucky: Is the Tide's dominant second half a sign of what's coming? • Keelon Russell: Where does Alabama's young QB stand after his first SEC road start? • Florida vs. Auburn: Who has the edge as this rivalry returns to Jordan-Hare Stadium for the first time since 2011? • Alex Golesh vs. Jon Sumrall: Which first-year SEC coach gets the bigger statement win? • SEC Quarterbacks: Are there legitimately 15 GOOD teams in the league because the conference is loaded at quarterback? Florida enters its showdown with Auburn after outscoring its first two opponents 118-24, while the Tigers are 2-0 after surviving Baylor and dominating Southern Miss. ESPN's SP+ gives Florida the early edge, but can Auburn's toughness and the Jordan-Hare atmosphere flip the matchup? The SEC looks deeper than ever, Texas has shaken up the national championship race, and two major contenders have already taken early losses. We break down what it all means for the SEC and the College Football Playoff.

Welcome back to Monday Morning Live, hosted by ESPN analyst Tom Luginbill and Jim Dunaway of The Next Round! LSU destroys Clemson, Keelon Russell makes his Alabama debut, Auburn survives Baylor, and the SEC goes 16-0 in Week 1. Tom and Jim break down the biggest college football and SEC football storylines from opening weekend. Is LSU really this good under Lane Kiffin? The Tigers crushed Clemson 51-10 in Death Valley, handing Dabo Swinney the worst loss of his Clemson career. LSU looked faster, stronger and more explosive from the opening kick, raising an even bigger question: Could the Lane Train roll into November undefeated? Meanwhile, Clemson has major questions at quarterback, along the offensive line and with Chad Morris' offense after one of the most embarrassing losses of the Dabo era. Alabama QB Keelon Russell also made his first career start, accounting for 335 total yards and a touchdown in the Crimson Tide's 48-10 win over East Carolina. How should we grade Russell's debut, and what does his dual-threat ability mean for Kalen DeBoer's Alabama offense? Auburn beat Baylor, but it wasn't pretty. Byrum Brown threw three interceptions, the offense repeatedly stalled in Baylor territory and questionable decisions nearly cost the Tigers. But DJ Durkin's defense delivered when it mattered most. Did Alex Golesh's Auburn team just win a game it would have lost last season? Plus, the SEC finished opening weekend 16-0. Which SEC teams made the biggest statements, and what did Week 1 tell us about the conference heading into the heart of the 2026 college football season? Tom Luginbill and Jim Dunaway react to LSU vs. Clemson, Alabama vs. East Carolina, Auburn vs. Baylor, Lane Kiffin, Dabo Swinney, Keelon Russell, Byrum Brown, Alex Golesh, Kalen DeBoer and the biggest stories in SEC football and college football.

ESPN's Tom Luginbill, long a respected voice in college football, recently visited Clemson and watched the entirety of an August-camp practice. He came away impressed with what he saw and heard. Luginbill says there is a different edge to Dabo Swinney in the wake of last season's six-loss debacle that came nowhere close to the Top 5 expectations just about everyone had -- including Swinney himself. Luginbill is also high on Clemson's offensive line. He says quarterback Christopher Vizzina is managing the offense crisply, and he loves the dynamic that freshman Tait Reynolds can bring with his size, arm strength and ability to run the ball. Luginbill believes this team is every bit capable of getting back to Charlotte, challenging for an ACC title and landing in the College Football Playoff.
