Alabama vs Tennessee Preview
The Tide are coming off a close 24-21 win over the 2-5 Arkansas Razorbacks last weekend. Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe completed 10-of-21 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns. But he and the rest of the offense couldn’t get much done in the second half. They managed just three points after going up 21-6 at the half.
“We played pretty well in the game up to 24-6, which was about halfway through the third quarter. And then we didn’t finish. We got penalties … Not executing, not hitting on all cylinders letting the other team get back in the game,” Bama head coach Nick Saban said after the win, adding: “Hopefully we can learn how to beat the other team. Not just win the game. But beat the other team.”
On the other side, the Volunteers are fresh from a 20-13 win over Texas A&M. Tennessee QB Joe Milton completed 11-of-22 passes for 100 yards, a touchdown and an interception, but he got plenty of help from the running game.
Vols RB Jaylen Wright rushed for 136 yards on 19 carries, with the team netting 232 yards on the ground in the win.
When these two teams met last season, a No. 6 ranked Tennessee team beat the No. 3 ranked Tide, 52-49. The Vols know it won’t be easy repeat, however.
Alabama vs Tennessee: What They’re Saying
“Everybody inside of our program understands the test that we have facing a really good Alabama football,” Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel said this week. “I think they play all three phases of the football game extremely well, but think they’re playing extremely well together. Going to be a great environment and a huge test for our football team.”
One of the key matchups in this one will be Tennessee’s passing offense (43% success rate, 54th percentile) versus Alabama’s pass defense (32% success rate, 99th percentile). If Bama’s defense is playing well, it could be a long day for Tennessee.
Alabama holds the edge in the all-time series, 59-38-8.
