Quarterback Rotation Set for Saturday
Alabama plans to start Austin Mack at quarterback against Vanderbilt. Keelon Russell, who has started every game this season, is expected to be available if needed but is likely to sit and allow his ankle more time to recover. Russell suffered the injury in the second half of the win at LSU and continued playing after it was wrapped.
Russell's Season Production
The sophomore has thrown for 2,263 yards with 18 touchdowns and five interceptions. He has also rushed for 276 yards and five touchdowns while posting an 86.5 QBR that ranks second nationally.
Mack Steps Into the Lineup
Russell earned the starting role over Mack late in preseason camp. Mack, a fourth-year player who joined the program in 2025, has seen action in four games and completed three of four passes for 23 yards.
