Read & React debuts on robust SEC Network schedule

SEC Network is rolling out a new spin on its studio programming this fall, as the network welcomes back its fall lineup and announces several commentator re-signings to kick off Week 1 of the 2023 college football season and beyond.

Read & React with Cole Cubelic and Roman Harper debuts on Monday, Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. ET, as the pair "Monday Quarterback" the weekend around the SEC. The duo will take a comprehensive deep dive into the key plays, players, units, and teams that changed the game each weekend. Cubelic, a longtime ESPN/SEC Network game analyst who recently signed a new deal with SECN, continues his field analyst position on SEC Network's marquee Saturday game of the week, SEC Saturday Night, while Harper adds to his robust studio role, which includes SEC Nation and SEC Now.

In addition, SEC Network host/reporter Alyssa Lang welcomes studio analyst Takeo Spikes to the co-hosting chair for Out of Pocket Presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors. The show, which returns on Aug. 30 at 7 p.m., will put a bow on the week that was in the SEC and look ahead at what's to come, as coaches, players and other notable guests join Lang, who recently signed a new, multi-year deal with SEC Network, and Spikes to fuse fun with football every week.

"We're thrilled to add Cole, Roman and Takeo to our revamped studio slate this fall," said Pete Watters, ESPN coordinating producer and SEC Network studio production lead. "Cole and Roman paired together creates instant fireworks. They're both competitive, love debate, and when you add that Auburn/Alabama rivalry to any conversation, it's entertaining and exciting.

"Adding Takeo to Out of Pocket alongside Alyssa provides the former player perspective to a show that is known for humanizing the athletes and coaches who fans see every Saturday, "Watters continued. "We're excited for SEC Network viewers to experience a different side of Takeo, and for his and Alyssa's friendship to play off each other on air."
