Football Begins Gameplanning for Saturday's Rivalry Game with Tennessee

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The University of Alabama started preparations for this weekend’s rivalry game with Tennessee, putting in two hours of work in full pads on the Thomas-Drew Practice Fields.

The Crimson Tide will look to improve upon last weekend’s defensive performance in College Station, with UA intercepting four passes and limiting the Aggies to a season-low 23 points scored. Alabama welcomes Tennessee to Bryant-Denny Stadium for the annual “Third Saturday in October” contest this Saturday, Oct. 24. The game will air live on CBS with Verne Lundquist and Gary Danielson working the booth and Allie LaForce on the sidelines.
