Nick Saban says Bryce Young is on a ‘pitch count’ in preparing for Tennessee

Alabama fans got some positive news on Bryce Young in Wednesday’s presser from Coach Nick Saban.

The junior quarterback did not play against Texas A&M because of an AC joint sprain to his throwing shoulder.

He suffered the mishap during the second quarter versus Arkansas. According to Saban, Young has practiced all week. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner is doing more each day and is on a ‘pitch count’ for Tennessee.

“We expect him to do a little more tomorrow,” Saban said about Young.

If he plays, Young brings the element of stretching Tennessee’s defense with the vertical passing game.
