Alabama's Blowout Loss to Indiana, Offseason Priorities & the CFP Semifinals

Alabama legends AJ McCarron and Trent Richardson join Chris Stewart, the voice of Crimson Tide football and men's basketball, to break down Alabama's blowout loss to Indiana in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.

The guys start the show by discussing their feelings on the loss, what went wrong vs the Hoosiers, the Tide's inability to run the ball and the impact of NIL on young players.

Then, they dive into Alabama's plan to improve in 2026, offseason priorities, which players are leaving the program, top portal targets and why they believe Ty Simpson would benefit from staying in Tuscaloosa for another season.

They wrap up the show by previewing the CFP semifinals and discussing Alabama's fourth straight win over Kentucky in men's basketball.
