Today marks the third Saturday of October, which means it’s that time again—Tennessee is going head-to-head with Alabama in their long-standing rivalry.
The 108th clash between the Volunteers and the Crimson Tide will take place this evening in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, kicking off at 7:30 p.m. ET. You can catch the game on ABC, and for those without a cable subscription, there’s a five-day free trial available on DIRECTV.
Since 2007, Alabama has largely dominated this matchup. However, last year saw Tennessee take the win for the first time since 2006, clinching a 24-17 victory on that same third Saturday in October. They’ll enter tonight’s game as the reigning champions of this rivalry.
This season, both No. 6 Alabama and No. 11 Tennessee sport identical 5-1 records ahead of Week 8, but Alabama remains undefeated in their last three SEC games, whereas Tennessee holds a 2-1 record in the conference.
