Friday morning update on status of Alabama QB Bryce Young
The health status of Alabama quarterback Bryce Young is one of the hottest topics in college football right now. With the No. 3 Crimson Tide set to take on No. 6 Tennessee in Knoxville this Saturday, the availability of the reigning Heisman Trophy winner will almost certainly have a major impact on the outcome of the game.
Young is the unquestioned leader of Alabama’s offense. In just under 4.5 games this season, the junior has thrown for 1,202 yards and 14 touchdowns while only tossing three interceptions. He’s also added 154 yards and three more scores on the ground, which is a big step forward from last season.

Last year, Young posted one of his best statistical performances of the season against the Vols. He completed 72.1 percent of his passes for 371 yards and two scores while also putting up 42 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Going into a hostile Neyland Stadium, Alabama could certainly use that type of production.
So far, Tennessee has been forced to prepare for two different quarterbacks, which come with two very different game plans. That’s made things a lot more challenging for the Vols, but as of Friday morning, BamaInsider is hearing that things are strongly trending in one direction as far as who the Tide’s signal-caller will be for the game.
