Football Friday with the BamaCentral Staff on The Joe Gaither Show

The show gets three-times smarter as we welcome in Katie Windham, Austin Hannon and Chris Walsh to give final breakdowns of the Alabama and Ole Miss matchup on a Football Friday on "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral".

The discussion kicks off by assessing the progress of the Crimson Tide's football team, not only through the first three weeks but even this current week leading into the SEC opener. 

Nick Saban's named a starting quarterback, how will the clarity benefit the Tide going forward? 

The real problems are along the Crimson Tide offensive line, there was obviously no Tyler Booker last week and thanks to Hannon's reporting we know he'll be available on Saturday. Will Booker's return to the lineup be enough to stabilize the front? Is there something deeper than schematics preventing the Tide from imposing its will up front? How does Alabama improve this area that's clearly been underperforming?

We shift our focus to the opposition as Ole Miss is led by two very familiar faces. Does defensive coordinator Pete Golding have something to prove in his first game back in Bryant-Denny Stadium? Will Lane Kiffin outsmart himself as we've seen him do in the past? What does the BamaCentral staff make of Kiffin's online antics throughout the week?

The program concludes with a brief look at the other SEC matchups as the conference really gets its season underway this week. There are five conference games so our staff discusses each of them and makes our picks.

Who picked Alabama to win? Who picked Ole Miss? Tune into the episode to see who still has faith in the Crimson Tide.
