Kalen DeBoer is still looking to taste his first victory cigar at Alabama. The second-year head coach’s baptism into the Third Saturday in October rivalry didn’t go as planned last year, as Tennessee knocked off the Crimson Tide, 24-17, inside Neyland Stadium.
No. 6 Alabama (5-1, 3-0) will look for revenge this year as it hosts No. 11 Tennessee (5-1, 2-1) on Saturday for a 6:30 p.m. CT kickoff inside Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Tide holds a 60-39-8 all-time advantage in the rivalry and is currently a 7.5-point favorite for this weekend’s matchup.
Here are five questions to watch for heading into the top-15 matchup.
