Homecoming matchup against Tigers sets up well for Saivion Smith

After an intense week of practice, Alabama’s defense looks to provide fans with a dominant performance for homecoming versus Missouri inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Despite suffering a setback in cornerback Trevon Diggs (broken foot) being out for the remainder of the season, the Crimson Tide has also learned of the Tigers’ issue with its top receiver – Emmanuel Hall – missing his second consecutive game due to a groin injury.

Hall, a senior, accounts for 18 of Drew Lock’s 118 completions and leads the team with 430 yards receiving and three touchdowns. With him out, this gives former junior college transfer Saivion Smith a chance to settle in and emerge at left corner for Alabama.
