What to expect

The Vols are riding high after last week’s upset of Auburn. Jeremy Pruitt has instilled fight in his team and they are not expected to back down against the Alabama Crimson Tide.

There are not likely to be many surprises on Saturday. Pruitt knows the Tide players well and the Tide coaches know his play-calling propensities.

Next. UA vs. UT Game Predictions. dark

Alabama football might have up to five new starters against the Vols. The personnel adjustments should enhance, rather than impede the Crimson Tide moving to 8-0.
