It was a crazy week of sports coverage on "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" so we're bringing you a double episode to close out the week.

We were joined by Dan Harralson of VolsWire late on Thursday to talk about the Tennessee Volunteers. Harralson described the ebb and flows of the Tennessee season as the No. 17 team in the nation still has a big chance to have a great season. 

The Volunteers have been led by its defense this season and Harralson informs the audience who to watch out for and how Tennessee's defense has taken such a strong step forward. 

The Big Orange got a big offensive lineman back healthy recently and Harralson describes what Cooper Mays really does that stabilizes the Volunteers. 

Our Thursday episode concludes by wrapping up our coverage from SEC Basketball Media Days in Birmingham as we were graciously joined by Alabama head women's coach Kristy Curry, guard Loyal McQueen and forward Sarah Ashlee Barker to talk about the upcoming season.

The Friday episode was a lot of fun as we welcomed BamaCentral's Chris Walsh, Katie Windham and Wyatt Fulton to deep dive into the week that was around the Alabama football program. 

What is the answer along the Tide's offensive line as Tennessee brings the nation's second best pass-rush into Tuscaloosa? How confident is our panel that Alabama's offense can put forth a 60-minute effort against the Volunteers?

We dissect the quarterback matchups as both Jalen Milroe and Joe Milton have the tools to hurt a defense but both have had tendencies to make mistakes to set their respective teams back. 

What's it like to be on the field as the crowd rushes onto the field after a big win? Windham and Walsh give first hand accounts of their experiences in raucous environments.

Last but not least the show makes our picks for the SEC slate with three bonus games that carry national implications.
