In Tuscaloosa, fan talk zeroed in on Alabama’s 2025 prospects, with some supporters calling for a No. 2 seed finish in the College Football Playoff. Auburn’s fall camp continued to build momentum, as Auburn Undercover’s Jason Caldwell highlighted a defense showing early dominance, the speed and versatility of transfer receiver Eric Singleton, and the emergence of cornerback Jay Crawford as a lockdown presence.

Off the field, Lane Kiffin used social media to continue trolling Hugh Freeze, this time, over reports of split play-calling duties.
