Alabama faces a tougher challenge than expected as they travel to Knoxville to take on a surging Tennessee rushing attack. With DeSean Bishop potentially the best running back in the SEC and Tennessee ranking second in the conference for rushing yards, the Crimson Tide's ability to stop the run is now under scrutiny after their recent loss to Georgia. Will Alabama's defense, especially if Terrance Green remains questionable, hold up against a team determined to control the ground game? Questions loom over Alabama's offensive line with Mal Waldrep likely starting at center and key injuries mounting, raising concerns about communication in a hostile road environment. Ryan Coleman-Williams appears ruled out, and uncertainty surrounds Racin Delgatty's availability. Can Alabama regroup and make a statement or will Tennessee exploit these vulnerabilities to stay in the fight for SEC contention?
