Tennessee week is just about here in Tuscaloosa. Jumping the gun a little on the 24-hour rule, we'll take a quick look at how Alabama matches up with the Vols for the annual rivalry game.
It's not too even, to be honest.
The top-ranked Crimson Tide brings the nation's No. 7 rushing offense (302.6 yards per game) to face Tennessee's No. 123 rushing defense (allowing 242.3 yards per game).
The Vols (3-3) rank behind the Tide in practically every major statistical measure. Among the exceptions: passing offense. Tennessee ranks 99th while Alabama is 102nd.
Tennessee also has strong numbers defending the pass.
