Josh Heupel previews facing Alabama football in Week 7

Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel is keeping fans guessing ahead of the Volunteers’ Week 7 showdown with Alabama, a high-stakes SEC clash that could shape both teams’ playoff aspirations. The No.

14 Vols (1-5) will host the sixth-ranked Crimson Tide (5-1) at Neyland Stadium on October 17, but Heupel has yet to name a starter at quarterback, leaving George MacIntyre and Faizon Brandon in competition for the job. The uncertainty comes as Tennessee’s offense has struggled to find consistency, raising questions about how the Vols will approach a team led by a former Tennessee running back now playing for Alabama.

Meanwhile, the game’s prime-time ABC broadcast and the rivalry’s historical weight add to the pressure, with Tennessee aiming to secure a third straight home win over their in-state rivals.
