Cue the bands, get ready for the trash talk, and even prepare the victory cigars (although they’re banned). The Third Saturday in October is coming, and this year’s Tennessee vs Alabama game looks to be one of the best yet.
It’s the final game of a brutal four-game stretch for the Vols that also included the Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, and Texas A&M Aggies. Coming off a double-overtime loss to the Aggies, Tennessee needs this home win to assure it stays in the College Football Playoff race.
Meanwhile, Alabama is coming off of a dominating win over the Arkansas Razorbacks and enjoying the longest winning streak in college football.
