Bryce Young ‘on a pitch count’ ahead of playing Tennessee
No. 8 Tennessee (5-0, 2-0 SEC) will host No. 1 Alabama (6-0, 3-0 SEC) Saturday at Neyland Stadium in Week 7.
Kickoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. EDT. CBS will televise the Southeastern Conference matchup.
“Obviously, this is why you come to Tennessee and want to be in this league,” Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said ahead of playing Alabama. “You have a big-time matchup this weekend. Really excited. “(College) GameDay,” “SEC Nation,” the environment that will be here on Saturday, really excited about that.
“Our players have earned the right to be able to get to this point, to play a game like this. Preparation is going to be critical in this one. Alabama is really good. Offense, defense, special teams, they have really good personnel in all three phases of the game. It will obviously be a huge test for us, but our players are excited. This morning was good preparation. Need to have a great week of practice and get ready to play our best football.”
Alabama head coach Nick Saban discussed preparing for the matchup Wednesday with media.
