Alabama tight end Colin Peek is listed as questionable for the game against LSU. Peek sprained the MCL in his left knee prior to the Tennessee game while going through pregame warmups. Peek has seen limited practice time while working with a brace. His status will probably be a “game time” decision.
Running back Terry Grant is also questionable for Saturday. Grant has been battling a minor muscle pull and (like Peek) will be regarded as a “game time” decision. Grant is listed as the forth running back on the depth chart behind Mark Ingram, Trent Richardson, and Roy Upchurch.
If Terry Grant is unable to play against LSU, look for Demetrius Goode to fill the fourth spot in the ‘Bama running back rotation. Grant is also a prominent factor on kickoff returns with Javier Arenas. Look for Trent Richardson, Julio Jones, or Mike McCoy to relieve Grant of those duties if he is inactive on Saturday.
During the off period following the game against Tennessee, the Alabama passing game has been a major point of emphasis in practice. Coach Nick Saban says he’s very pleased with what he’s seen in practice in respect to not only passing…but quarterback protection. Saban says he would like to see more passes down the middle portion of the field against LSU. Alabama finished with no pass longer than 27 yards during the entire playing month of October.
NOTE: For those of you who are regular visitors to the site, I'm sure you've noticed things have been rather delayed this week. Due to that fact, my weekly SEC PICKS will not be available today.
