And now we’re onto Alabama. The Tennessee Volunteers are 5-0, passing every test to this point. They’ve won every “swing” game to this point, picking up road wins at Pittsburgh, at LSU and then beating Florida in Knoxville.
The very scenario that Tennessee fans dreamed about this summer has come true — undefeated Tennessee against undefeated Alabama at Neyland Stadium. Things have gotten very real over the past couple of weeks, and it’s now all on the table for these Volunteers.
Now, can they beat Alabama for the first time since 2006? That’s the next hurdle for Josh Heupel and his emerging Tennessee program.
