Could Alabama fans be in for a treat in the “Third Saturday of October” rivalry?

Kendrick Law missed the last two games since suffering an injury versus Georgia, while Kobe Prentice missed last week against South Carolina.
Both wide receivers are talented and have experience for the Crimson Tide.
Alabama has had to lean on its depth with Emmanuel Henderson, Cole Adams, Caleb Odom, and Rico Scott.
Henderson and Adams have made plays, but it looks like the Tide will get Law and Prentice back for Saturday against Tennessee. DeBoer said both are “probable” for the matchup.
Justin Jefferson and Qua Russaw, both linebackers, were probable for games this season and both played.
The contest was against the Bulldogs. Russaw had two tackles, a tackle for loss, a sack, and a forced fumble. Jefferson totaled a forced fumble in Alabama’s 41-34 victory over Georgia on Sept. 28 at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The offense needs to have Law and Prentice back to be playmakers.
