Alabama and Tennessee met once again for the Third Saturday in October rivalry game. Tennessee got the better of the Crimson Tide in Neyland Stadium last season, defeating Alabama 24-17 and storming the field for a second consecutive home win over the Tide.
Alabama, which was on a revenge tour after dropping three games on the road last season, was looking to ground a high-flying Tennessee offense that had caused problems all season long.
With a win, Alabama could vault itself into the top five in the country and cement itself as a national title contender, while picking up its fourth win over a ranked opponent.
