Summary

🔥 Unlocked is back with a loaded episode covering the biggest stories in college football and the NFL! 🔥 Former NFL quarterback Brock Huard joins Lance Taylor to break down an unforgettable weekend of football across both levels of the game. The guys start in the College Football Playoff, where Alabama stunned Oklahoma with an incredible 17-0 comeback, flipping the game with physical defense, momentum-shifting plays, and championship-level resilience. What does the win say about Alabama’s identity, and could defense ultimately decide who wins the national championship? The conversation then shifts to the NFL, where Brock and Lance dig into the chaos in the AFC. What has happened to the conference that once looked unstoppable? Are defenses catching up to elite quarterbacks, or is this a temporary dip that will correct itself as the season goes on? From contenders falling back to surprise teams emerging, the AFC landscape is wide open — and Unlocked breaks it all down.
