Fun fact: Texas A&M (4-2, 2-1 SEC) has yet to win a true road game under Jimbo Fisher since the 2021 season. Another fun fact: No. 19 Tennessee (4-1, 1-1 SEC) has not lost at home since the 2021 season. So, something’s got to give, right?
Make no mistake about it, when the dust settles on Saturday’s showdown at Neyland Stadium, both teams will have a clearer sense of the trajectory of their season.
