Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the second scrimmage and what it means going forward.

The quarterback situation is settled with Payton Thorne in the top spot. Auburn's situation at tailback is deep and talented. The offensive line's run-block ability looks very strong. We know the Tigers will be running the ball plenty, but how much of a weapon can/will the pass game become?

Is the offense's ability to run the football Saturday indicative of problems along the defensive front? Bryan has some ideas about that.

Jakaleb Faulk became the Tigers' second commit of the 2025 cycle on Monday. How did Auburn manage to pull this one off? Caleb has some ideas about that.

Also, Auburn Class of 2024 now is up to No. 2 in average commit rating — ahead of Georgia!

The guys then offer a plethora of shoutouts for outstanding Bunks for their work on ... the Bunk.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the second week of fall camp — and the scrimmage that (finally) yielded some meaningful data. 

Several players have stood out so far this month: Jalen McLeod, Kam Stutts, Jaylin Simpson, Jayson Jones, Damari Alston to name a few. Can some of these guys become stars this fall?

Is there a real reason for optimism regarding the overall state of Auburn football? What an insane nine months it's been.

Auburn added another commit last week, DE T.J. Lindsey, and retains its No. 3 spot on the Rivals Average Player Rating scale. Not bad at all.

Flory Bidunga ended up choosing Kansas last weekend. Is this a sign that Bruce Pearl is losing his grip on recruiting? NOT A CHANCE.

The guys offer a multitude of commendations and shout-outs to wrap up the show.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Jay G. Tate, Brian Stultz and SPECIAL GUEST DLucky reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the first week of fall (football) camp.

The big news today was the return of both Jarquez Hunter and Caleb Wooden from suspension. What happens now? Will they play in the opener against UMass? B-Matt has opinions.

The guys also break down the current situations at OL, DL, QB and LB — all of them in much better staffing shape than they were one year ago. Also, what would be considered a "good season" from a win-loss perspective?

Caleb breaks down the Tigers' latest commitment, safety Jalewis Solomon, and looks ahead to upcoming decisions from defensive lineman T.J. Lindsey and offensive tackle DeAndre Carter.

Meanwhile, Bruce Pearl continues his pursuit of 5-star center Flory Bidunga, who said Monday that this is "decision week." This would be a mammoth recruiting win if the Tigers can land Bidunga.

The crew finishes with a hefty review of the Bunker's best and most humorous posts of the past week.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Jay G. Tate and SPECIAL GUEST Russ47 reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on a hugely eventful week in football recruiting.

The Tigers landed FOUR commits — three of them coveted high school recruits — in what could go down as a turning point in the program's fortunes. Hugh Freeze and his staff brought some 40 highly rated recruits on campus — and those relationships may pay even more dividends in the coming days.

Caleb and Bryan explain why.

The guys also check in with the recruitment of 5-star center Flory Bidunga, whom Bruce and Steven Pearl have been pursuing ardently for the past 18 months. The Indiana resident is nearing a final decision.

Thh show concludes with a collection of commendations for hilarious posts on The Bunker and for other reasons as described in the show. Congratulations to all — and thank you for being part of our community!
