It will be the first meeting in Knoxville since Tennessee's 52-49 win in 2022 to end Alabama's 15-game winning streak in the series. Both programs are licking their wounds this week as Alabama lost on the road to Vanderbilt and Tennessee lost on the road to Arkansas.

Tennessee welcomes the Florida Gators into Knoxville as they look to regain momentum before hosting Alabama.
