Hello and welcome to the Audible, presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Ralph Rousseau from The Athletic here with my colleague Stuart Mandel and Bruce Feldman.

Today, we're continuing our conference-by-conference breakdown and look ahead with the SEC.

I'm going to do a little revisiting of the guys buy, sell, hold from the preseason, figure out where they got right,

what they got wrong, and why they got it right or wrong. We are also going to hit a mailbag.

By the way, we will continue this series with hitting every Power 4 conference.

The ACC is next and then we'll get to the Big 12 next week. And at the end of today's show,

we will run a bit of an interview that Bruce had with Arch Manning's dad Cooper about his son's

first season. We talk about reviewing this last

season. Well, this is a little bit of a review of Arch's first season as Texas's quarterback.

But first, some news and notes. Really, one note. And that is, guys, Gus Malzhan retired today.

He was Florida State's offensive coordinator for one year,

best known as Auburn's head coach for about 10 years. Arkansas State, some time at UCF,

won over 100 games. Pretty good coach was one of the godfathers of uptempo offense,

Stu. How will Gus Malzahn be remembered if this

is indeed his final college job? I mean, he'll be forever linked with the 2010 Auburn season.

Even though he was the offensive coordinator, not the head coach, I think sometimes people

forget that and assume he was the head coach, not

Gene Chiswick.

You know, he's forever tied with Cam Newton.

And you're right, at least in the early days, he was seen as like a real innovator

with the hurry up offense, with the run game.
