Summary

Stew and Bruce are live at the 2020 NFL Combine. The guys set the scene and react to seeing college stars and NFL coaches in Indy. Andy Staples joins the show to discuss Scott Cochran leaving Alabama to become the special teams coordinator at Georgia under Kirby Smart. Was this a calculated move by Coach Smart to cripple Alabama’s strength and conditioning program? Plus, does Mario Cristobal have a better chance to win a National Championship at Oregon or Miami? At the combine, Henry Ruggs has a chance to break John Ross’ 40 yard dash record & Oklahoma’s Neville Gallimore (DT) is another freak-athlete prospect to watch.
