KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – One of the most highly-anticipated weekends of each football season has arrived as 11th-ranked Tennessee tangles with #7 Alabama in their annual 3rd Saturday in October battle.

It’s an Orange Out at Neyland Stadium today and that orange was on full display during the traditional Vol Walk outside the stadium

After nearly a month away from Knoxville, the Vols returned to Neyland Stadium and came away with a thrilling 23-17 overtime victory over rival Florida last weekend. That was the first of a four game home stand for Tennessee, which will enjoy its second open date next weekend.

Alabama has beaten Tennessee in 17 of their last 18 meetings. However, in games where both the Tide and the Vols are ranked in the AP Top 15, Tennessee has won 5 of the last 6.
