This week, we have a premium SEC conference match-up between rivals Alabama and Tennessee. While both teams have 5-1 records, the Crimson Tide come into Saturday ranked higher overall at No. 7. This weekend marks the 107th meeting between the teams in a rivalry game dubbed the "Third Saturday in October" game. Alabama leads the series with a record of 59-39-7.
Alabama heads into Knoxville having just barely gotten by another conference foe, South Carolina, by a score of 27-25. Quarterback Jalen Milroe struggled against the Gamecocks, throwing for 209 yards and rushing for 36, but his two interceptions nearly cost the Crimson Tide the game. If Alabama is going to get past the Volunteers, Milroe will need to eliminate the mistakes and produce for the Crimson Tide.
Meanwhile, Tennessee is enjoying one of their best seasons in recent memory. Currently ranked No. 11 in the Associated Press college football poll, the Volunteers needed overtime last week to beat Florida by a score of 23-17. The matchup against powerhouse Alabama will be a test for this team and could make or break their college football playoff hopes. Can running back Dylan Sampson lead Tennessee to victory over the rival Crimson Tide? Tune in today to find out.
Heading into the game today, Alabama is a three-point favorite over Tennessee at home. The over/under of 57 points set by Vegas indicates they view this as a high-scoring game in Knoxville. This is looking to be an exciting matchup of two SEC powerhouses with College Football Playoff implications. Tune in today to see if the Volunteers can send the Crimson Tide home with their second loss, or fold under the pressure.
