Nick Saban suffered two losses in 2022 that sent his Alabama team to the Allstate Sugar Bowl.
Alabama faces one of those two schools this week at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Tennessee earned a 52-49 victory in Neyland Stadium over the Tide. Hendon Hooker tossed five touchdowns and all went to Jalin Hyatt in the marquee win.
