Episode Details

The Cover 3 crew talks Arch Manning, Nick Saban, Ohio State, Lane Kiffin and more. Monday’s rundown of some of the top quarterback battles begins with the most talked about competition in the country, Quinn Ewers against Arch Manning at Texas (3:45). From there the conversation shifts to the new faces competing to take over from Stetson Bennett IV at Georgia (12:20), an apparent-two man battle at Alabama after the departure of Bryce Young (18:30) and whether CJ Stroud’s backup, Kyle McCord, is ready to take the reins at Ohio State (26:30). Plus, Lane Kiffin’s trio of transfer portal additions competing for QB1 (32:45), a pair of potentially game-ready five-star freshmen at UCLA (39:30) and Tennessee (48:45) and an important battle at Cincinnati as the Bearcats are making their move to the Big 12 (53:50).
