Alabama football continued preparation for the Vols on Wednesday. The 2017, Third Saturday in October will be the 100th meeting between the two schools in football.
It has not been much of a competitive rivalry the last few seasons. There has been only one somewhat close game since 2009. Historically the story is quite different. In what could arguably be called the greatest southern football rivalry, the 99 previous games favor Alabama football by a less than five-point margin.
This Saturday’s game is not expected to be anywhere near that close. Don’t tell Nick Saban that.
