Alabama travels to Neyland
Stadium in Knoxville to face the Tennessee Volunteers in a game scheduled for
7:30 PM ET that will air on ESPN2.
Four years after leaving
Tennessee to become USC’s Head Coach following Pete Carrolls’ departure from
Southern Cal to coach the Seattle Seahawks there is still a palpable hatred for
Alabama’s Offensive Coordinator Lane Kiffin.
I expect there will be a lot of
commotion in the beginning of the game considering Kiffin’s mom told
CBS Sports, “I’m scared to death
for his safety…I want him to be in the press box.”
Knowing that Vols fans are going
to be on Kiffin like stink on manure, Head Coach Nick Saban has indicated
Kiffin will be on the sidelines with him during the game. The Alabama State Police, who have had a
presence protecting Bama’s coaching staff since the days of the legendary Bear
Bryant, will have their hands full I’m sure.
No. 4 Alabama is coming off its
59-0 annihilation of Texas A&M and the Vols were stung in their 34-3 loss
to Ole Miss last week. The game looks
like it will be lop-sided in favor of my beloved Crimson Tide.
Alabama has struggled on the
road. The Vols will be motivated to stop
Amari Cooper’s running game and intimidate QB Blake Sims. The season is past the halfway point and the
game has implications for a potential bowl game.
Given the emotions surrounding
Kiffin’s return to Knoxville, this should be a good game.
ROLL TIDE ROLL!
