Title: Grant Hill to play this week...

Was planned to play last week but was pretty sick and didn't dress.  Saban implied he was putting pressure on the first teamers (at RT I'd assume).

I thought he'd be a starter by year 2.  Very underrated talent coming out of Huntsville, IMO.

We might see some scout team players out there on Saturday by the time the game is over.

I thought you were talking about the former Duke & NBA BB player.

At this point, I wasn't really expecting to see anymore of the true freshmen play that haven't already.

With center Ryan Kelly out for the next few weeks with a knee injury and junior Chad Lindsay serving as his replacement, Saban said right guard Anthony Steen is also capable of playing center.

"If there's a guard that's coming along that's a really good player, I'm not a guy that's going to sit here with a bad hand ... if we can make improvements on our team," Saban said...

Looks like the redshirt is history.  Grant Hill may be the key that this O-line has been seeking.
