For nearly a decade, the famed "Third Saturday in October" battle between the Tennessee Volunteers and Alabama Crimson Tide has been a lopsided affair.
When the Volunteers and Crimson Tide get together Saturday, UA will be going for its ninth consecutive win. That run of dominance coincides with coach Nick Saban being lured away from the NFL and back to the college game.
In a series of streaks, the current one is painted crimson.
Saban's ownership of Tennessee dates back to his LSU days, when the 2001 SEC Championship Game victory helped end UT's reign atop the league.
