On Oct. 17, 1970, Tennessee wore orange, Alabama wore crimson, and the Vols won 24-0. This Saturday is Oct. 17 again, and both teams will be wearing the same colors at Neyland.
My Alabama week column at TriStar Daily walks through the series: Alabama’s 60-40-7 lead and its 15-game streak, the runs under Phillip Fulmer and Johnny Majors, and the 52-49 game in 2022 that changed everything. Since then, the home team has won every meeting.
Alabama comes in angry after a 20-17 loss to Georgia. Tennessee is 5-1, with questions about Faizon Brandon’s shoulder. The pick comes Saturday. For now, I’d settle for a win by one.
