Game Preview
As the 3rd Saturday in October draws near, one thing is certain: the yearly resumption of warfare involving Alabama and Tennessee, one of NCAAF’s most storied rivals and one that recently saw an epic upset.
With a 4-0 record in SEC action through the initial half of the campaign, Alabama remains in control of the SEC West. It is hopeful that its adjustments at the line of scrimmage will be sufficient to safeguard an offense that is becoming more aggressive in moving the football downfield. Although Tennessee is moving the ball with force and playing solid front 7 defense, the Vols lost the key players of their then-No. 1 rated offense from the previous game, which they won in a major upset.
In a 20-13 triumph on Saturday, Tennessee fought to fend off Texas A&M. On the Aggies’ last 3 drives, the Vol defense managed to force a failed field goal and 2 interceptions. In the victory, RB Jaylen Wright led the offense on 19 carries totaling 136 rushing yards.
