Pete Thamel has the news:
Alabama is expected to start Austin Mack at quarterback against Vanderbilt on Saturday, per ESPN sources. Starter Keelon Russell (ankle) is expected to be available, but the expectation is the Tide staff holds him out and lets his ankle heal. Russell has been listed as probable.
Sounds like this will be Austin’s game unless it starts to go south. Hopefully it doesn’t, and we next see Keelon against Auburn.
Hope for the best.
