The Third Saturday in October is here once again. In 2022, the tides shifted in Tennessee's direction as Chase McGrath made a game-ending, 40-yard field goal to beat Bama for the first time since 2006. Last year, Alabama rolled on to a 34-20 victory at home after Jihaad Campbell swooped in like Superman for an electric scoop-and-score.
This weekend, the seventh-ranked Crimson Tide and No. 11 Vols are playing for separation, both trying to stave off another loss and keep their playoff chances alive. With 5-1 records, both teams are part of a four-way tie in the expanded SEC.
One team's playoff chances could soon be a step closer to going up in smoke; we'll see on Saturday which side is holding the cigars. Stay updated on the latest sports stories with the WVTM 13 app. You can download it here .
