Nick Saban on Changes in College Football, Week 1 Predictions, 2024 Season Preview & More

It’s the inaugural episode of The Triple Option!

Urban Meyer, Mark Ingram II, and Rob Stone preview the preseason Top 10 teams in college football, and explain how some teams may fall well short of expectations, while others outside of the Top 10 have a very realistic chance of competing for a National Championship.

Then, 7-time National Champion Head Coach at Alabama and LSU Nick Saban joins the show to discuss the current state of college football and how changes over the past several years have impacted the game, recaps some of his favorite coaching memories against Urban Meyer, shares a funny story about recruiting Mark Ingram II and fills us in on life after coaching.

The guys then predict their favorite Week 0 and early Week 1 matchups, including Deuce Deuce’s Dog of the Week. We see you North Dakota State.
