No. 6 Alabama Visits No. 14 Tennessee
The Third Saturday in October rivalry returns as both programs enter ranked in the top 15 of the college football standings.
- No. 6 Alabama visits No. 14 Tennessee on Saturday, Oct. 17, at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville for the "Third Saturday in October" rivalry game, with kickoff set for 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
- Both teams enter with identical 5-1 records after contrasting outcomes: Alabama fell 20-17 to Georgia last week, while Tennessee escaped with a 24-17 road victory over Arkansas.
- Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer confirmed leading receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams is likely out with injuries, leaving Lotzeir Brooks and Rico Scott as replacement options. Offensively, Alabama averages 452.5 yards per game versus Tennessee's defensive allowance of 293.8 yards.
- Volunteers coach Josh Heupel remained non-committal Monday on his starting quarterback, saying, "We'll find out here through the week." Crimson Tide quarterback Keelon Russell aims to bounce back from a season-low 185 passing yards against Georgia.
- The home team has won this rivalry each of the past five seasons, though Alabama has struggled recently at Neyland Stadium. A victory would provide critical momentum for either team in SEC play.
