Rolando McClain

Take a look at the interception.

Rolando McClain is the linebacker right here.

Now, he's gonna drop in coverage, and Brandon Cox is gonna be looking this way, and he's not gonna see Rolando McClain drift in front of his intended receiver.

He's reading left, left, left, and when he lets go of the ball, he doesn't see McClain slip underneath.

And then at the end of the play, after the ball's released, here's the hit he took.

You're watching the Pontiac Performance Halftime Report.

Auburn and Alabama in intense battle in the first half.

Brandon Cox picked off by Rolando McClain, the freshman, but the Tide had the deflective interception in the end zone and didn't cash in.

Uh-huh.

He loved Rolando McClain.

Yeah, the linebacker.

... respected and let him have a voice.

But, like, I didn't always get the opportunity to see things through, because you get whacked, you know? And that's kinda part of it.

But, like, I, I'm watching this, and there's Julio Jones, and there's Rolando McClain, and there is Tua, and there is Jalen Hurts.

And I understand that Hurts was a transfer situation too, but, like, I...

Like, you see these guys, and you're like, do any of these guys truly think the way guys of even 10, 15 years ago thought? And look, and who knows, maybe all those guys, Julio Jones and all these guys, would've thought differently had they also been getting paid above the table, not under the table, but getting paid $2 million, 3 million, $4 million.

Well, I was g- I was gonna bring that up.
