#4 Alabama vs Tennessee Homecoming Watch Party

RSVP Now! 

It's the Third Saturday in October!

Get ready for a Rocky Topple in Tuscaloosa! Apparently the Vols fans need to be shown the proper way to take out the trash.

Clearly Tennessee fans are bitter over having nothing to be excited about this season. Let's face it, defeating South Carolina and Missouri is unimpressive. However, let's not get comfortable. We've already lost one winning streak this season (the battle of the former assistant coaches), let's not break another. 

Tennessee Quarterback Drama

Tennessee's QB Hendon Hooker has displayed a 68.8% completion rate (61.2 vs AP top 25) for 1,296 yards, compared to Bryce Young's improved 69.6% for 2,082. However, the 6'4, 218 lbs senior from Greensboro, NC, is currently listed as "questionable" after injuring his right leg in the final minute of last week's infamous loss to Ole Miss. Tennessee back up QB Joe Milton, actually won the job of starter, but was out after his own leg injury in week 2 during their loss to Pittsburgh. Coach Josh Heupel said that Hooker is "day-to-day", adding "I don't think it's a long-term injury. As for his status for this week, we'll find out as we go."

While the Vols would like to have Hooker back this Saturday, there is a good chance Milton would play and allow Hooker to recover for the rest of Oct and perhaps return after their bye week to take on Kentucky. Unless Milton has improved his 46.7% completion rate, expect the Vols to try running the ball a lot.

 

Vols to Watch:

• QB Hendon Hoker - senior, 68.8% comp rate, 1,296 yards; 390 rushing yards, 4.4 avg  --status for Saturday is "questionable"
• QB Joe Milton III - junior, backup QB, 46.7 comp rate, 255 yards
• RB Tiyon Evans - 486 yards, 6.7 avg
• RB Jabari Small - 324 yards, 5 avg
• WR Velus Jones, Jr - 435 yards, 15.5 avg
• WR Cedric Tillman - 294 yards, 12.8 avg

 

We'll see you at Coscino's Italian Grill on Saturday, October 16. Kick-off is at 6:00, but please plan to arrive at 5:30. You'll see the Sanctuary Room just inside the door to the left of the hostess stand.

Roll Tide!
