After three weeks, there is still belief that Alabama could drop one road game this season, with this October 19 trip in Knoxville starting to look the most likely. The Tennessee Volunteers have been one of college football's most impressive teams so far this season, and could potentially give the Crimson Tide problems with this game in Neyland.

When the Crimson Tide legendary coach hung them up in January, he left behind a plethora of skilled players including the nation’s No. 2 recruiting class. Among them are two starters, WR Ryan Williams and DB Zabien Brown.

Alabama football made a statement Saturday afternoon in Madison, Wisconsin. The No. 4 Crimson Tide shut Wisconsin down, beating Wisconsin 42-10 at Camp Randall Stadium, its first trip to Madison since 1928. Alabama now faces its SEC schedule, opening against Georgia at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 28 at Bryant-Denny Stadium following a bye next weekend.
