Alabama to work in six offensive linemen for its matchup versus WKU

Alabama has a competition at right tackle, but how many linemen will it use Saturday versus Western Kentucky.

Kalen DeBoer, the Crimson Tide’s head coach, spoke to the media Wednesday via the SEC Coaches Teleconference for a final availability session before the weekend. Wilkin Formby and Elijah Pritchett continue to battle at right tackle, but DeBoer and offensive line coach Chris Kapilovic love what they have on the interior with Tyler Booker, Parker Brailsford, and Jaeden Roberts.

Roberts got banged up in the second scrimmage, but he’s expected to play.
