Its a Wayback Wednesday on The Morning Kickoff!

We're just 45 days away from kickoff, and SEC Media Days are rolling on. Day 2 featured Alabama's Kalen DeBoer, Florida's Jon Sumrall, Ole Miss defensive coordinator Pete Golding, and Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko, with plenty of headlines coming out of Atlanta. We'll break down the biggest storylines from Day 2, then dive into Bill Connolly's analysis of whether Texas has what it takes to win the national championship—and what's standing in the Longhorns' way. We'll also cover Texas Baseball's newly announced team awards, recap what SEC coaches had to say during their media sessions, and shift to the NFL as Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys enter what many believe is a make-or-break season. To close the show, we'll hit the final notes, including Texas Basketball scheduling Baylor for a matchup in San Antonio, before looking ahead to tomorrow, when Steve Sarkisian and the Longhorns take center stage at SEC Media Days.
