Saban: Alvin Kamara is an outstanding player. Fantastic player who has a lot of production, is used well in their offense.

Alabama will have to play a full four quarter game against the Vols Saturday as this game is sure to be the Tide's biggest test yet. The Vols may be reeling from an overtime loss to Texas A&M, but they are still very much alive in the championship picture so Alabama should expect their best shot Saturday.
