The Opening Kick is back with another action-packed episode! Join our panelists Daniel Pettey and CBS Analyst Gerald “Smoke” Dixon as they dive into the biggest stories in college football. This week, we’re joined by a special guest—former Nick Saban assistant and current football analyst Tyler Siskey!

We’ll start with the turmoil in Florida, where it’s rumored that Billy Napier could be out as head coach. Could Lane Kiffin be his replacement? We’ll break down the likelihood of this coaching shake-up and what it means for both programs.

Then, we tackle the state of college football—NIL deals, transfer portal chaos, the expanded College Football Playoff—what’s next? Our panel will take a deep dive into how these changes are shaping the sport.

Next up, we preview two of this week’s biggest matchups. Can Tennessee’s Josh Heupel and quarterback Nico Iamaleava keep their streak alive against Oklahoma? And will USC’s Miller Moss outmaneuver Michigan in a battle of powerhouse programs? We’ve got all the insights!

Finally, we give an early preview of the game everyone’s waiting for: Alabama vs. Georgia. Can Jalen Milroe lead the Tide to another victory against the Bulldogs? We’ll discuss the epic coaching showdown between Kalen DeBoer and Kirby Smart, setting the stage for what feels like a playoff matchup.
