Three Alabama players to watch on The Joe Gaither Show vs. Tennessee

The double episode continues with part two of a Thursday edition of “The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral” as we move over to the football side and talk about “Third Saturday in October.”

The show begins with a comparison of Alabama and Tennessee, as the two programs find themselves in very similar positions six games into the season. Both programs have good wins, but each has also had a bad loss combined with a fighting victory. Is Saturday’s competition a must-see considering what’s left on the schedule for each show?

The conversation then turns to areas where the Volunteers are strong, as running back Dylan Sampson leads the entire conference in rushing yards and touchdowns. Can the Crimson Tide defend the run on Saturday? How will Alabama’s offensive line fare against Tennessee’s vaunted pass rush?

Tennessee isn’t invincible, we’re turning the conversation to how we think Alabama will attack the Volunteers, as some of the Big Orange’s weaknesses play right into the Crimson Tide’s hands.

The show ends with our picks for our weekly three players to keep an eye on as we try to get back on track. We’re picking three players who need to have great success for the Crimson Tide to leave Knoxville with a win.

The show can be seen on BamaCentral’s YouTube channel. Stay up to date with every show on YouTube, Facebook and more Twitter. The shows can also be heard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Amazon.
