SEC announces kickoff time for Alabama-Tennessee game
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Kickoff time for No. 1 Alabama’s Week 7 road game against No. 8 Tennessee, which will take place on Saturday, Oct. 15, has officially been set. The Southeastern Conference announced on Monday that the game would start at 2:30 p.m. CT and will air on CBS.
Alabama is currently riding a 15-game win streak over Tennessee. In fact, the Crimson Tide have never lost to the Vols since Nick Saban’s arrival back in 2007. All time, the record is a lot more respectable with Alabama holding the lead 58-38-7. This year’s contest should provide a much more difficult challenge, however.
