Comments
This could be the most pivotal game of the 2022 SEC football regular season. Tennessee had been in a funk for several years until a player named Hendon Hooker showed up on campus. Few give Tennessee a snowball’s chance in hell to beat Alabama, even playing in Knoxville. However, if Bama quarterback Bryce Young doesn’t play that could set the Volunteers up for a possible monumental victory. We saw what happened to Kentucky last weekend playing without Will Levis. Alabama is the most talented team overall in the country and has a brick-wall defense. They will be up for the challenge of playing the highly-ranked Vols.
