The Alabama Crimson Tide will look to bounce back on the road in Knoxville this weekend following a heartbreaking loss to Georgia in Week 6.
Alabama will once again find themselves playing in an extremely hostile environment on Saturday, and the Tide will undoubtedly need to be at their best on both sides of the football. Crimson Tide tight end Josh Ford is expected to play once again this week despite breaking his arm against Mississippi State, as Ford was able to make a massive impact during the loss to Georgia despite wearing a cast.
Ford recently took a moment to comment on the energy in the locker room following the loss, as the tight end claims the team is fired up entering Week 7.
“Everybody’s fired up.” Ford said. “It’s a tough loss, but we are leaving last week behind us. You don’t want to get beat by the same team, that’s kind of what we’ve been saying. Trying to move on and focus, there’s a lot of season left. So we are really excited about it.”
Ford is credited with 1 reception on the year for 3 total yards and one touchdown. The talented tight end has played an essential role in Alabama’s success on the ground to begin the year, and the Tide’s locker room as a whole appears to be amped up following their loss to Georgia last weekend.
