The Third Saturday in October rivalry runs deep, meaning that despite Brazzell and Bryce Young now sharing a locker room, there will be times when they don’t get along.

“I mean, I went to Tennessee,” began Brazzell. “He went to Bama,” he continued of Young. “So, no shade, but I remember watching Bryce Young in 2022 when Tennessee beat Bryce Young.”
