Comments
Tennessee is coming off a 34-7 butt whipping at the hands of Kentucky. It was the Vols first loss to UK in Knoxville since 1984. Alabama is coming off a surprisingly easy win over Georgia. This one will come down to which team handles its success or adversity the best. Or maybe not. I think Alabama wins this one by at least 10 points. UT has a decent defense and should be able to somewhat slow down the Tide offense. I don’t see the Vols winning though but you never know.
