Tennessee had a two-game win streak snapped in a 31-26 home loss to Ole Miss Saturday. The Volunteers allowed a season-high 510 total yards (279 on the ground) in a setback that may also have cost them their starting quarterback for this game. Senior QB Hendon Hooker – who had 233 passing and 108 rushing yards in the loss – is questionable after he suffered a leg injury in the fourth quarter.
The Crimson Tide snapped back from their Oct. 9 loss to Texas A&M with a 41-9 win over Mississippi State Saturday. Alabama held the Bulldogs to 199 total yards (minus-1 rushing) and did not allow a touchdown. The Tide has yielded just 90.7 rushing yards per game, which ranks eighth in the nation, and that’s despite facing two opponents (Florida, Ole Miss) currently ranked in the nation’s top-5 in rushing.
