He provided updates on quarterback Bryce Young and linebacker Jaylen Moody, but Alabama head coach Nick Saban looked excited to discuss how the players responded in practice for Tennessee on Thursday during his radio show.
Tennessee has not beaten Alabama since Saban became the head coach in 2007. Eric Ainge was the last quarterback for the Volunteers to defeat the Crimson Tide in 2006. Several national media pundits and Tennessee fans believe this year will end Alabama’s streak of dominance. Many feel that Hendon Hooker and the Vols’ offense will be too much for Alabama. Others feel Young will not play against the Volunteers and Jalen Milroe won’t be enough for the Tide to win in a hostile environment.
