Alabama fans can celebrate, as Tennessee native Ty Simpson led the Crimson Tide to a victory over the Tennessee Volunteers.
Alabama and Tennessee met again for the Third Saturday in October rivalry game. The Volunteers had previously defeated Alabama 24-17 at Neyland Stadium, but this time the Crimson Tide sought revenge.
Alabama aimed to counter Tennessee's high-flying offense, which had caused problems all season. A win would propel Alabama into the top five nationally, solidifying its position as a title contender, and mark its fourth win over a ranked opponent.
