Tennessee beat Alabama last year for the first time since 2006, and Volunteers fans are definitely still holding onto that feeling heading into Saturday’s showdown.
Tennessee alum Peyton Manning expressed his feelings on this year's matchup while speaking on Thursday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show. Last year’s win seemed to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback forget about all the previous 15 losses in a row.
“It’s funny, I mean I can’t think of the last time Alabama’s beaten us,” Manning jokingly said. “We obviously took care of business last year. The series has been so one-sided since 2022. So I’m gonna tune in Saturday, but I think I kind of know what’s going to happen. We’ve kinda had our way with them since 2022.”
