Alabama football heads to Nashville for a showdown with Vanderbilt, and former Crimson Tide national championship quarterback Jake Coker and veteran analyst Mick Gillispie are breaking it all down on a new episode of LAST CALL on The Next Round, presented by Pearl River Resort!
Coming off Alabama’s 31-13 road win over LSU, the Crimson Tide are dealing with an emotional blow: tight end Josh Ford is out for the season with a knee injury. Jake explains why Ford’s toughness, leadership, physical blocking and energy mean so much more to this Alabama team than the box score shows. How does Kalen DeBoer replace that presence as the Tide pushes toward the Iron Bowl and College Football Playoff?
🏈 ALABAMA vs. VANDERBILT PREVIEW
- Can Alabama avoid another Nashville scare? Mick and Jake revisit Vanderbilt’s historic 2024 upset, discuss whether the Tide can control the line of scrimmage, and examine what DeBoer and offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb need from the running game. With quarterback Keelon Russell listed as probable following an ankle injury against LSU, they also debate whether backup Austin Mack could step in if needed. Plus, why Jake is impressed by defensive coordinator Kane Wommack and what to expect from Alabama fans in Nashville.
