Avast, ye scurvy dogs! Captain Nick Saban, helm of the Alabama Crimson Tides, be callin' upon th' loyal Alabama hearties to turn Bryant-Denny Stadium into a thunderous den o' noise this Saturday when we face off with the treacherous No. 17 Tennessee! Let our roars shiver their timbers!
The Tennessee Vols shocked the Alabama Crimson Tide in a game at Neyland Stadium, ending their 15-game losing streak. Now, Nick Saban is calling on Alabama fans to make some noise when the two teams face off again. Saban emphasized the importance of the fans' impact on the game, stating that their noise can disrupt Tennessee's fast-paced offense. He urged the fans to create an energetic environment that will benefit the players. The Vols have not won at Bryant-Denny Stadium since 2003, and Saban wants to ensure that streak continues. He emphasized the need for the fans to create momentum and asked them to "do it one time." Both teams boast strong defenses, with Alabama and Tennessee ranking third and fourth, respectively, in the SEC in yards allowed per game. Tennessee's defense is particularly aggressive, recording 24 sacks in six games. On the other hand, Alabama's offensive line has struggled, allowing 31 sacks so far. The quarterbacks for both teams have had their ups and downs, with Tennessee's Joe Milton III throwing for just 100 yards in their previous game. Despite their differences, both teams are prepared for a tough battle in this long-standing rivalry. The game is set to take place at 3:30 p.m. ET.
