Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide squeaked by Texas A&M in Week 6, beating the unranked Aggies 24-20, stopping Texas A&M on a fourth-and-goal from the two-yard line as time expired. 

It was a sloppy game for Alabama, losing three fumbles and throwing an interception to keep Texas A&M in the game.

No. 3 Alabama will not survive its Week 7 matchup with No. 6 Tennessee in Knoxville if it plays as it did against the Aggies, but Alabama is hoping to have Young under center for Saturday’s matchup.  

"Hopefully we're going to try to get him ready to play this week," Saban said Monday, according to ESPN. "But this is something nobody can predict how quickly he'll get an opportunity to do what he needs to do."
