First Look at the Iron Bowl on The Joe Gaither Show

Let's fire up a Tuesday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Mason Woods as we discuss a few recruiting updates, get Woods' perspective on the Eastern Illinois victory and start discussing this weekend's game against the Auburn Tigers. The show finishes with the Players Era Festival as Alabama dropped its first game against Gonzaga.

The program opens with Woods detailing the decommitment of offensive lineman Sam Utu and highlighting the controversial story involving Xavier Griffin and Jamarion Matthews. Is Utu's decommitment concerning and what happened to the Gainesville High School defenders?

We continue with football to get Woods' perspective on Alabama's dominant Eastern Illinois performance. Did the Crimson Tide fix its running game? Did Ty Simpson play well in just one half of action? Woods discusses the trends for the Alabama football program.
