Tennessee not backing down from challenge of playing Alabama

Cam Sutton isn’t hiding how he’s feeling.

When asked how he was doing Wednesday afternoon, Tennessee’s veteran cornerback said he was “getting ready for battle.”

“It’s going to be a physical game,” he told ESPN.com.

For what has to feel like a month now, Sutton and the Vols have been preparing for Saturday’s trip to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to play the No. 8-ranked Crimson Tide. The Vols had this week of practice, the bye week last week and the week before where they watched film of Georgia, whose previous opponent was -- you guessed it -- Alabama.
