Should Ty Perine take over kicking duties in Will Reichard’s absence?

He was the star of the conversation through Monday’s player interviews.

The group of Henry Ruggs III, Miller Forristall, Terrell Lewis and Jared Mayden still cannot believe what they saw on last week versus Tennessee. Under a brand-new lighting feature, Alabama trusted a true freshman walk-on at punter and he brought the crowd to its feet.

Ty Perine, a native of Prattville, Ala., was one of six players elected for weekly honors via the coaching staff after his performance. Will Reichard, true freshman kicker, got the starting nod at punter, but he reinjured his hip on his first attempt as the ball traveled just 33 yards.
