Are the Alabama players up for Saturday’s matchup against Tennessee at Neyland Stadium?
The “Third Saturday in October” rivalry produced special moments. Nick Saban was part of a lot of them from 2007 to 2023 as the Crimson Tide’s head coach. He only suffered one loss during that span and it came in 2022 in Knoxville (Tenn.) by a score of 49-52. Saban unveiled on the ESPN College GameDay set why Tennessee is a bigger rival than Auburn for the Crimson Tide.
