Summary

Jacob and Cody continue their 2021 season preview with two-a-days, discussing the offensive line and defensive line [30:18]. How do the Tigers replace Dare Rosenthal at left tackle? Which offensive lineman can break through? Which newcomer makes an impact? And on defense, who steps up in a deep unit to establish himself as a starter? Can Maason Smith or any other freshmen find a way to contribute to a talented, deep group?

Before that, we talk to LSU legend and 2021 Pro Football Hall of Famer Alan Faneca [15:22] about his signing day decision to be a Tiger, his path to the Hall of Fame, and becoming a marathon runner after finishing his football career. 

First up, Hester recaps SEC Media Days and talks conference realignment [0:15].
