No. 10 Tennessee (5-1, 1-1 SEC) will host No. 7 Alabama (5-1, 2-1 SEC) on Saturday at Neyland Stadium.
Kickoff between the Vols and Crimson Tide is slated for 3:30 p.m. EDT and will be televised by ABC.
Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel met with media on Monday and previewed game week.
“Another huge contest here for us,” Heupel said. “It’s a rivalry game and college football as good as it gets here with these two teams playing, so looking forward to seeing our fans on Saturday. We need a great week of practice and preparation.
“Really good football team that we’re playing, talented as everybody knows, the ability to make explosive plays on the offensive side of the football. It starts with their quarterback, him being part of the run game and playmakers out on the outside. Defensively, personnel wise, they look like they always do. Big and strong up front, the second level can run, and the third level is extremely athletic. Huge test for us. We have to continue to get better and get ready to go play really good football.”
