The Third Saturday in October is near, which means it’s Alabama-Tennessee week. The Crimson Tide will make the trip north to Knoxville, with Kalen DeBoer set to make his debut in this rivalry.
Both Tennessee and Alabama enter this one struggling, both coming off of losses two weeks ago and big scares over the weekend. Tennessee somehow managed to beat Florida on Saturday, overcoming a dreadful first half to storm back for an overtime win. Alabama trailed late against South Carolina before taking the lead in the fourth quarter, then nearly blew that lead in the closing seconds.
