Alabama 62 – Tennessee 14
Key Insight: Tennessee will throw the kitchen sink at Alabama’s defense to start the game to see if anything works. The Vols could have some success early with their lengthy wide receivers, but Alabama’s offensive attack will most likely take over as the game goes on. It will be interesting to see if Tennessee can make Tua Tagovailoa uncomfortable at any point.
Season Record: 9-1
PATRICK DOWD / BREAKING NEWS REPORTER
Alabama 49 – Tennessee 10
Key Insight: Despite shutting down Mississippi States offense a week ago, Tua Tagovailoa and the “Rydeouts” are a completely different beast. It’ll be interesting to see how Alabama’s defense fairs as they continue to get healthy and gain experience but expect the Crimson Tide to win by a wide margin.
Season Record: 10-0
