After five years of big Bama leads, a rested and restored Tennessee team looks to carry the fight to Alabama for 60 minutes.
After beating Georgia for the first time in six years, along comes the natural follow-up: Tennessee could have a chance against Alabama. Maybe.
It's been those same six years since we've been able to feel that way, with little hope in the space between. The Vols have been underdogs of between 15.5-29.5 points every year this decade against the Crimson Tide, with Bama beating Derek Dooley by 31 three years in a row then Butch Jones by 35 in his first try.
