Alabama’s secondary will be in for one of its biggest tests of the season in week seven against Tennessee’s receiving core.
There have been several instances where opposing offenses have tested the Crimson Tide secondary. Both USF and Wisconsin came up with play designs to exploit Alabama’s weaknesses in the secondary but were unable to capitalize. A large part of that stemmed from the quarterback’s inability to make the throw. Wide receivers have been able to get free in Alabama’s secondary at will sometimes. That will need to change against Tennessee.
The Volunteers have four wide receivers that have the potential to get behind Alabama’s secondary and make them pay deep down the field.
