Tennessee and Alabama bring two of the Southeastern Conference's better defenses into Saturday's showdown. The 17th-ranked Volunteers visit No. 11 Alabama in a rivalry game that went down to the final play last season. Tennessee broke a 15-year losing streak in the border rivalry with a 52-49 win in the Top 10 matchup.

Last season, the sixth-ranked Vols snapped a 15-game losing streak in the rivalry with a 52-49 victory over No. 3 Alabama on Chase McGrath’s 40-yard field goal as time expired. “It wasn’t pretty , I’ll be the first to admit that, but it’s not that far off either,” Heupel said. “We have to do ordinary things at a really high level.”Tennessee brings a three-headed rushing attack that is the SEC’s best and sixth nationally at 231.3 yards a game. The Vols ran for 232 yards against Texas A&M last week against an Aggies’ defense that had been the league’s stingiest allowing only 84 yards rushing.
