Alabama soccer coach Nick Saban instructed reporters on Monday that he is hopeful quarterback Bryce Younger might be able to play Saturday at Tennessee.

Younger, who missed final weekend’s win over Texas A&M due to shoulder soreness, was reevaluated by the coaching employees on Monday.

“Hopefully we’ll attempt to get him able to play this week,” Saban stated. “However that is one thing no one can predict how rapidly he’ll get a chance to do what he must do.”

With Younger sidelined, redshirt freshman Jalen Milroe bought the beginning. He threw for 3 touchdowns but in addition dedicated three turnovers (two fumbles, one interception).

Saban stated he thought Milroe performed “with a whole lot of nervousness.”

“I do not assume he allowed himself to let his coaching type of information him and belief and imagine in it so he can have success in executing performs,” he stated. “You possibly can’t flip the ball over and never execute performs like they’re designed. … So these issues are all issues that we undoubtedly want to enhance on.”

No matter who begins at quarterback, Saban stated the whole offense wants to enhance, whether or not that is the road or the receivers.

Saturday’s recreation at Tennessee guarantees to be probably the most aggressive of the season for Alabama with each groups undefeated and ranked within the prime 10.

The Vols are No. 1 in yards per recreation and No. 2 in factors per recreation nationally, however the Crimson Tide protection has given up the sixth-fewest factors and yards per recreation.
