The question that all of college football is looking to have answered is the health of Alabama quarterback Bryce Young.
Young, who missed Alabama’s game against Texas A&M in Week 6 with a throwing-shoulder injury, has practiced this week on a limited basis as Nick Saban’s team prepares to travel to Knoxville for a matchup up with No. 6 Tennessee.

College football fans will have to wait another day in order to receive the answer to the question of the week.
ALABAMA’S BRYCE YOUNG ‘MAKING PROGRESS’ AHEAD OF GAME AT NO. 6 TENNESSEE
"Bryce has practiced some this week," Saban said Thursday on his weekly radio appearance. "And I think it comes down to, ‘Does he feel, and do we feel ,that he can throw the ball effectively enough?’ He’s not going to hurt himself by doing it. I just don’t know how much it will hurt him if he does it.
"He’s done it on a limited basis. So, that’s the question, and nobody is going to know that until Saturday comes. He won’t know, I won’t know, nobody will know it. I know he wants to play, and I know he thinks he can play, and we’ll see."
