The start of the 2022 season has been special for Tennessee fans, who have watched the Volunteers carve their way to a 5–0 record with impressive wins over the likes of Pitt, Florida and most recently, LSU. 

Now the school will get the chance to celebrate their early accomplishments by hosting College Gameday for the second time in four weeks. 

The ESPN flagship pregame show announced Knoxville as its Week 7 destination on social media Sunday morning. The GameDay crew will be on hand for a top-10 matchup between Tennessee and Alabama. 

College Gameday’s return to Knoxville comes after the show was present for the Volunteers’ 38–33 win over the Gators in Week 4. 

No. 8 Tennessee will enter the game against the No. 1 Crimson Tide fresh off a rout of No. 25 LSU. Quarterback Hendon Hooker threw two touchdown passes, and the Volunteers gashed the Tigers defense for 263 rushing yards on their way to a 40–13 blowout in Baton Rouge. 

Alabama will head to Knoxville after narrowly holding on to to beat unranked Texas A&M at home, 24-20. The Crimson Tide will have a question mark at quarterback through the upcoming week as starter Bryce Young continues to recover from a shoulder injury that kept him out of the game against the Aggies. Redshirt freshman Jalen Milroe started in his place and threw three touchdown passes but also coughed up three turnovers.

Tennessee football: College GameDay back for Alabama game another great omen for Vols

by Caleb Calhoun5 minutes ago

For the second time in four weeks, Tennessee football welcomes ESPN College GameDay to Rocky Top. Exactly three weeks after they were on hand to witness the Vols end a five-year losing streak to the Florida Gators, they’ll be on hand to witness them try to end a longer streak.

Yes, after the Vols’ 40-13 victory over the LSU Tigers, GameDay is headed to Rocky Top for their matchup with the Alabama Crimson Tide. Both teams are undefeated, as Bama held off the Texas A&M Aggies at home Saturday night.

Alabama is on a 15-game winning streak in the series, the longest for either team. Tennessee football’s last win against them came way back in 2006, a year before Nick Saban got there. GameDay announced the location on Twitter.

Given the Vols’ losing streak in this series, GameDay being on hand is a great omen for them. Yes, we said it. There are multiple reasons for that, but the most notable one is the last time GameDay was on-hand for a Tennessee-Alabama game.

You have to go all the way back to 1995. At that time, the Vols hadn’t beaten Alabama in 10 years. They tied in 1993 in a game retroactively awarded to UT due to NCAA violations from Alabama, but their last on-field win had been in 1985.

Well, the Vols dominated that matchup, winning 41-14, unleashing years of frustration. That means they’re 1-0 when facing Alabama on GameDay, and that one win erased a frustrating losing streak. Both factors are at play here too. The only difference is that game was in Birmingham, and UT was higher ranked.

Still, there’s another factor at play here that makes this a good omen. In each of GameDay’s last two trips to Knoxville, Tennessee football erased a frustrating losing streak. They ended a five-game losing streak to Florida just two weeks ago.

Before that, GameDay was last in Knoxville in 2016. Well, the Vols snapped an 11-game losing streak to Florida in that one. Simply put, GameDay coming to Knoxville appears to be what the Vols need if they are going to end losing streaks to teams they once considered rivals.

Of course, Alabama is a completely different beast than either of those Florida teams. This year’s team is under a first-year head coach, and that one was led by Jim McElwain. Also, all three of the Vols’ Power Five wins are a bit questionable this year. The Pittsburgh Panthers aren’t the same team, and LSU also has a first-year head coach.

Still, Alabama has struggled to put away two unranked teams now, A&M and the Texas Longhorns, and Bryce Young is banged up. Those are key factors in the Vols’ favor. This is also the first time they won’t be writing this game off before it even begins.

Add in all the GameDay voodoo, and Tennessee football may have a chance to do something special. Considering the fact that GameDay was also on hand for Alabama and Texas, the Tide aren’t the best team on the road with them in attendance. Lee Corso missing the last two weeks may make it a bit different, but in his last appearance, he picked the Vols.

Someone school me on this rivalry. Does this have deeper roots than Bama vs Auburn? I thought I read that somewhere.

Auburn is Alabama’s aggy, while Tennessee used to be more like OU is to us. This used to be the premier rivalry in the South when the SEC wasn’t nearly as good top to bottom as it is now. Bear Bryant used to say he never knew how good a team he had until he played Tennessee. The series record was 43-38-7 before Saban arrived.

Yes. Auburn series was suspended from like 1910-1948 due to, ah, fisticuffs and incidents in the early 1900s. Until LSU became a heated rival in the years after Saban left there, most Bama fans regarded Tennessee as rival 1* after #1 despised rival Auburn.

Bama has played Tennessee without interruption since Hoover was president.

Aggy not gonna like this...

 

The Alabama football Twitter account on Monday couldn’t resist trolling Texas A&M with its latest game poster, titled “Thumb War,” which you can see above.

The “thumbs up” is one of a host of Aggie traditions, accompanying the “Gig ’em” phrase. Unfortunately for Texas A&M, another victory over Alabama, especially after the back-and-forth between Fisher and Saban in the offseason, wasn’t in the cards

Tennessee starter arrested on felony assault charge before Alabama game

Oct. 11, 2022, Mark Heim | mheim@al.com

Tennessee’s Jaylen McCollough was arrested and charged with aggravated felony assault Sunday, according to a Knox County Sherriff’s Office arrest warrant obtained by Knox News.

According to the report, around 3:28 p.m. Sunday, police responded to a call at an apartment. A man with a “bloody, swollen mouth and missing teeth” said he had been drinking with friends that live in the complex when he went to get items from a vehicle, according to the arrest warrant.

When he returned, he said, he accidentally went to the wrong building. He knocked on the door but no one answered. So he opened the unlocked door and entered the apartment.

He told police he apologized and left, but a man pursued him and became aggressive.

The man punched him in the face, and he fell backward down the stairs and lost consciousness.

The starting safety, 21, is a four-year starter for the Vols. This season he is tied for fourth on the team with 23 tackles. He had seven tackles in Tennessee’s 40-13 win over LSU in Baton Rouge on Saturday.

Vols' Jaylen McCollough arrested on felony assault charges

Oct 10, 2022. Mark Schlabach ESPN 

Tennessee starting safety Jaylen McCollough was arrested Sunday on felony charges of aggravated assault following an incident at a Knoxville apartment complex.

According to a Knox County Sheriff's Office arrest warrant, officers responded to a call at 3:28 p.m. ET on Sunday. A man told officers that he had been drinking with friends in an apartment and left to retrieve items from his car. He accidentally returned to an apartment in the wrong building, knocked on the door and no one answered.

The man told police that he opened an unlocked door, realized he was in the wrong apartment and apologized to the residents. After leaving the apartment, a man followed him and became aggressive, according to the victim.

The arrest report noted that the victim "apologized again and told the male, 'He didn't have to be a [expletive] about it.' As he was walking away, he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around at the top of the stairs approximately 30 feet from the door and was punched in the face. He fell backwards down the stairs and lost consciousness."

When the victim regained consciousness, according to the report, a different man and woman were helping him to his feet. Officers noted that there was blood on the staircase. The victim had blood and swelling on his mouth and multiple missing and broken teeth, according to police.

Officers attempted to contact the residents of the apartment, but no one answered the door. Officers found the woman who had been helping the victim in a car in the parking lot, and she identified herself as McCollough's girlfriend.

She called McCollough back to the scene, according to police, and his right hand was in bandages with blood soaking through. McCollough, 21, didn't answer officers' questions and was arrested.

McCollough, from Austell, Georgia, was released from jail on Monday morning, according to the Knox County Sheriff's Office.

A Tennessee spokesman declined comment to ESPN on Monday. Volunteers coach Josh Heupel addressed the media in the afternoon saying there is no update on McCollough's status at this time. "We just learned of it really late (Sunday)," Heupel said. "We're gathering more information and will have more for you."

McCollough is the third Tennessee player to be arrested in the past two months. Offensive lineman Savion Herring was arrested and charged with domestic assault in September, and linebacker William Mohan was arrested on a charge of felony aggravated domestic assault in August. Both players were dismissed from the team.

McCollough, a four-year starter for the Volunteers, is tied for fourth on the team with 23 tackles this season. He was credited with seven tackles in Tennessee's 40-13 victory at LSU on Saturday.

Tennessee vs. Alabama: 10 things every fan should know about the rivalry

Cory Nightingale | 3 hours ago

The Third Saturday in October hasn’t always been played on the 3rd Saturday in October.  And everyone who knows enough about the illustrious Alabama-Tennessee rivalry knows that.  But the name is just so darn catchy. It grabs you. It screams importance.  

Because when the Crimson Tide and Volunteers get together, sometimes on the third Saturday in October but always in mid-to-late October, it’s never not important.  No matter the records. No matter the current state of each proud program.  Just sometimes, like this Saturday for example at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, it seems to mean just about everything.

You’ll have the No. 3 team in the land in those wonderfully plain white road jerseys trying to break Tennessee hearts for the 16th year in a row.  You’ll have the No. 6 team in the land with 102,000 fans and an entire state behind it, trying to will a program that’s been down for a long time past a program that’s been kicking it in the teeth for, oh, a decade and a half.

It’ll be Alabama vs. Tennessee, and the stakes will never be higher.

But there is so much more to know about the Third Saturday in October. So much color and pageantry is packed into this particular SEC rivalry. It is so unique, no matter which exact date it is played on in October, and we’ll give you a crash course before Saturday.

Here are 10 things every fan needs to know about the Alabama-Tennessee rivalry:

Quote

10. Light up those victory cigars!

A guy named Jim Goostree injected some cigar odor into the rivalry way back in the 1950s. Goostree was the head athletic trainer at Alabama at the time, and he innocently started a tradition by simply handing out cigars after a victory over Tennessee.

Little did Goostree know what he had started.

Both programs kept the cigar celebration going for many years, but they had to keep the cigars and that funky smell under wraps because of NCAA rules that deal with extra benefits and tobacco products.

Bama restarted the tradition in a public manner in 2005 and preserved it by going as far as self-reporting a violation to the NCAA. As a result, in each of the past 15 years after the Tide have beaten the Vols, Alabama knowingly violates the NCAA’s rule, cleans up all its cigar ashes and then reports the violation in honor of the tradition.

9. A rivalry chock full of streaks

For a century and a couple of decades, the Tide and the Vols have seemingly traded runs of dominance over each other. And yes, Alabama has had more of the fun over that time, right up to its present-day, 15-game winning streak over Tennessee that’s gone in lockstep with Nick Saban’s arrival as head coach in 2007. Right now, at least for another few days, Bama can boast not having lost to the Vols since 2006.

But Tennesse has taken its turns, too. The Vols ripped off 7 straight wins over the Tide from 1995-2001, a run that included Tennessee’s national championship in 1998. Just before that, Bama had an 8-0-1 run in the series from 1986-94, which included its own national title run in 1992. The Tide also had their way with the Vols for 11 straight years between 1971-81.

Yes, Bama totally owned the rivalry throughout the ’70s. But a few decades before that, Tennessee did the owning and the winning and the bragging, going on an 8-1-2 run in the series from 1950-60.

And at the very beginning of it all? Well, it was Bama that got the jump on Tennessee when the rivalry was launched at the start of the 20th century. The Crimson Tide won 8 of the first 9 meetings before the Vols jumped in and took 5 of the next 6 meetings, and the insanely streaky nature of this rivalry was born.

The Tide hold a robust lead in the all-time series, 59-37-7, because their winning streaks in the series have been longer and more plentiful. But the Vols have had their moments, plenty of them, and Saturday just might be another one.

8. Birmingham, Bama’s home away from home

Before coming back to its real home of Tuscaloosa to play Tennessee every other year, Birmingham was Alabama’s home backdrop in this series. It was in Birmingham in the 1906 meeting where the Crimson Tide recorded their most lopsided victory over the Vols, winning 51-0 at the Birmingham Fairgrounds.

The home-and-home series between the Tide and Vols began in 1909, but when it was time for Bama to play host, most of those meetings came in Birmingham, not Tuscaloosa. By 1930, the teams had played in T-Town a few times, but then the rivalry took a long-term detour from Tuscaloosa.

For nearly 7 decades, between 1930-98, the Alabama-Tennessee game was not played in Tuscaloosa. It would volley back and forth between Knoxville and, yes, Birmingham. Years later, after those battles at the dusty Birmingham Fairgrounds had run their course, venerable Legion Field became the Birmingham backdrop for this rivalry in the odd-numbered years when Bama was host.

7. Uncanny coaching connections

Yes, Alabama and Tennessee hate each other, and you’ll see that vitriol displayed quite nicely on Saturday in Knoxville. But for 2 programs in the same conference who dislike one another so much, they sure do have a lot of connections, especially in recent years.

There was Bill Battle, Bama’s athletics director from 2013-17 who was Tennessee’s head coach from 1970-76.

There was Jeremy Pruitt, a former Crimson Tide player and assistant coach who was the Volunteers’ head coach from 2018-20.

There was Butch Jones, the Vols’ head coach from 2013-17 who was an analyst and assistant to Saban from 2018-20.

And there was Lane Kiffin, Bama’s offensive coordinator from 2014-16 who was also Tennessee’s head coach in 2009.

That’s 4 Vols head coaches since 1970 with deep Tide roots. Incidentally, Pruitt finished 0-3 against Alabama, Jones was 0-5 against the Crimson Tide, and Kiffin lost his only matchup with Bama — but only because one of the biggest plays in series history sealed a 12-10 win.

Only Battle beat Alabama, and he did it once, in his first season in 1970, before losing 6 straight times to the Tide from ’71-76.

You can also throw in Derek Dooley, now a senior offensive analyst at Bama, who was 0-3 against the Tide as the Vols’ head coach from 2010-12.

6. A raucous rivalry gets its name

The Bama-Tennessee series began playing on its traditional date in 1928.

To be precise, on Oct. 20, 1928, in front of about 8,000 fans at Denny Field in Tuscaloosa, the Crimson Tide lost to the Volunteers, 15-13.

Legendary Tennessee head coach Robert Neyland, who only had a stadium named after him, was doing his best to block Alabama from its usual spot atop the conference standings. And 11 years after the Vols beat the Tide in their 1st meeting on their new traditional date, the rivalry was officially given the name Third Saturday in October.

5. Now, about Bama’s recent domination

No need to go too deep on this one, especially for Vols fans’ sake. But you might’ve heard that Bama’s 15-game winning streak in the rivalry has perfectly (or imperfectly, if you’re Tennessee) coincided with Saban’s arrival in Tuscaloosa.

And that, of course, is no coincidence, because while Saban has symbolized stability at Alabama over the past decade and a half, Tennessee has seen a turnstile of head coaches come through Knoxville. And not 1 of those head coaches has found a way to best Saban. It’s been loss after loss, from 2007 to 2021, and with a few exceptions it’s been downright ugly for Tennessee.

The combined numbers are gorgeous for Bama and ghastly for Tennessee. Saban’s Tide teams have outscored the Vols by a combined 589-201, which is eye-opening, eye-popping and outrageous. The average final score during this era has been 38.3-13.4. Of course, Tennessee has a wonderful opportunity on Saturday to flip the nasty narrative, at long last.

4. The Vols’ crossroads came in 2007

While Saban has been busy winning 6 national titles at Alabama, Tennessee has only finished a season ranked in the AP poll 3 times since he arrived at Bama in 2007.

There was 2015 and ’16, when the Vols finished at No. 22. And then there was 2007, the year things began to change in Tuscaloosa and Knoxville, when 1 program went 1 way and the other program went the other way. That Tennessee team in ’07 actually reached the SEC title game, but it still couldn’t beat Alabama, falling hard 41-17 in Tuscaloosa despite the Tide missing some key starters because of the textbook disbursement scandal.

Ultimately, the Volunteers finished with a No. 12 ranking in 2007 and, not surprisingly, that was the last Tennessee team to reach the SEC championship game.

3. Darkness rules, and no winner emerges

This game isn’t even recorded on the official Alabama-Tennessee Rivalry Finder, which shows that the first meeting between the schools came in 1903.

Actually, 2 years before that, in 1901, the Crimson Tide and Volunteers clashed in Birmingham. But the game was never finished, which is probably why it’s not recorded as an official game.

The matchup was deadlocked at 6-6, but it ended up being called because of darkness, since lights weren’t exactly a thing yet in college football or baseball or sports in general. That doesn’t mean the fans that day weren’t upset. A lot of them reportedly rushed the field in Birmingham to protest the outcome — a dreadful tie.

2. Two legends, 2 stadiums

Who knows what’ll happen to the name of Alabama’s home stadium when Saban walks off into the sunset. But for now, interestingly, the 2 coaching gods of yesteryear for these 2 programs have their names on the respective stadiums the teams play in.

There is the aforementioned longtime Tennessee head coach Robert Neyland, he of Neyland Stadium, which will be absolutely rocking on Saturday afternoon when the Tide and Vols get down to business.

And there is iconic Alabama head coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, he of Bryant-Denny Stadium, the Vols’ recent house of horrors that will be waiting to host this rivalry again next October in the odd year.

1. Don’t underestimate the pure hatred

OK, from a Bama perspective, Tennessee isn’t Auburn.

And from a Tennessee perspective, Alabama isn’t, say, Florida.

But while Vols vs. Tide isn’t quite the signature rivalry of the SEC, it’s right near the top, for the sheer history, insane talent on both sides, quirkiness and … hatred.

Just ask anyone in T-Town or Knoxville, or the surrounding areas. These programs aren’t located in the same state or even in the same division of the SEC.

Doesn’t matter.

Or just ask ESPN’s Rece Davis, an Alabama alum who is the host of the College Gameday pregame show that will be coming to Knoxville on Saturday for the latest titanic showdown between the Tide and Vols.

“You think you’ve heard loud? You haven’t heard loud until you hear what it’s going to be like when they run through the ‘T’ on Saturday,” Davis said earlier this week.

“They think they’re back,” Davis said of Tennessee. “They are starving to be back because it’s not just beating the juggernaut. There’s a generation of fans who don’t understand the vitriol and the disdain and the hatred that Tennessee has for Alabama and, in many cases, vice versa.”

I will take Bama in this game if Bryce Young is healthy.  Is Tennessee really that good?  The teams they have beaten for that 5-0 record and top 5 ranking are Ball State, Pitt, Arkon, Florida and LSU.  Florida and LSU don’t exactly look like world beaters this year.  Tennessee may be the real deal or they may be another hyped up SEC team like we see every year in the SEC.

The ‘almost embarrassing’ stat that’s driving Alabama nuts

Published: Oct. 11, 2022

The only two teams in the 131-team FBS with fewer takeaways than Alabama’s three -- Notre Dame and Stanford -- played one fewer game than the Crimson Tide.

Alabama safety Jordan Battle had a word for it.  “Yeah, I mean, it’s like kinda almost embarrassing,” he said Tuesday, “because usually, you see Alabama defenses, they’re getting turnovers every game.”

The four giveaways against Texas A&M and one interception of Aggie Haynes King left the 2022 turnover margin at negative-6. It last finished on the wrong side of zero in 2014 when the SEC title-winning team was negative-2 in the turnover column.

In the seven seasons since, Alabama is plus-96.  That’s 172 takeaways compared to 96 possessions lost.

So the fact Alabama’s losing 1.5 turnovers a game while getting just 0.5 back doesn’t sit well with the guy in charge.  “This is probably one of our down years turnover-wise on defense,” Battle said. “Coach Saban let us know that.”

Bama still has a decent defense, but hardly elite. They better hope Bryce can play, cause Milroe is a dumpster fire. I don't see this one being high scoring, more in the range of 24-21 or so. Can't wait! 

IMO - Milroe isn’t a dumpster fire. He’s a kid out of Katy Tompkins that “we” wanted. I totally blame BOB on the aggy game.

When you only have one week to prepare, don’t make the youngster play within Bryce Young’s offense, because “those are the plays we run and it’s our offense”! You let the youngster do what he knows best with the Spread and then roll him out for pass/run options - He’s NOT a pocket passer (at this time), so my blame is on BOB!

If he’d put the QB in space, they’d have beat aggy by 20+.

Hook’em!
