Alabama's Second Fall Camp Scrimmage Report on The Joe Gaither Show

Let's fire up a Friday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral"with Theo Fernandez, as our hosts discuss what happened in Bryant-Denny Stadium on Thursday during the Crimson Tide's second fall camp scrimmage. Is Alabama closer to naming a starting quarterback? How is the running game coming along? Who stood out on defense for the Crimson Tide?

The program opens by chatting about the biggest development in from the scrimmage. Alabama sophomore Keelon Russell started the scrimmage with the first unit under center. The rumors and reports have been constant through the fall that Russell is outplaying Austin Mack, despite what the coaching staff has had to say. We play Kalen DeBoer's convoluted comments about the quarterbacks and predict when Russell will be announced as Alabama's starter before comparing Russell to the rest of the quarterbacks in the SEC.

We stay on the offensive side of the ball and talk about the running back room as EJ Crowell is still not participating in live action for Alabama, but fellow freshman Trae'shawn Brown is participating, and proving himself in early action. How will Brown be used in this offense? Is a trio of Brown, Daniel Hill and Kevin Riley enough to get the running game on track?

The program flips to the defensive side of the ball and highlights reports of Abduall Sanders playing well at inside linebacker. Gaither believes Sanders has become one of the four main inside backers entering the season, joining Caleb Woodson, Luke Metz and Q.B. Reese. The group is young, but has emmense talent, and should surprise fans with their physicality this season.
