The duo recaps last week’s games, including South Carolina vs. Alabama and LSU’s upset of Ole Miss, before they shift to Quentin’s extensive background in Auburn athletics and his professional journey post-football.

Quentin shares his path to Auburn after a standout high school game and the influence Bo Jackson had on his decision to play for the Tigers. He touches on his playing days under legendary coach Pat Dye. The two also discuss the evolution of sports, the impact of dual-sport athletes like Bo Jackson and Frank Thomas, and how Auburn can return to its championship-winning ways by focusing on building strong offensive and defensive lines.
