The Third Saturday in October has arrived — it’s time for Tennessee-Alabama once again. The Volunteers have made the trip south down to Tuscaloosa, set to take on the Crimson Tide. They’re looking for their second consecutive win in the series after a dramatic 52-49 win in Knoxville last season.
This year’s game is going to look much different though. No Hendon Hooker, no Jalin Hyatt, no Bryce Young. Both sides have new quarterbacks, each in the middle of up and down seasons. This year’s version should be a true slugfest, featuring plenty of defense and a focus on the run game.
