Alabama Football: The Historical Third Saturday in October

ICYMI: Tide places five on mid-season AP All-America team

The Alabama Crimson Tide currently holds a 10-game winning streak within the ‘Third Saturday in October’ rivalry. Over the past ten years, Alabama has outscored Tennessee by a total of 351-119. Be that as it may, the Third Saturday in October was once a crucial game for the Alabama football program.

The rivalry began in 1901. The Alabama Crimson Tide was victorious in eight of the first ten match-ups, and did not allow the Tennessee Volunteers to score one touchdown. In 1928, the rivalry was resurrected by Tennessee’s Robert Neyland.
