Third Saturday in October
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Third Saturday in October is the name of a college football game played each year between the Tennessee Volunteers and the Alabama Crimson Tide. The name refers to its traditional calendar date, but it is no longer exact. From 1995 to 2006, it has only been scheduled for that date four times.
Like most notable rivalries, it has a history characterized by wildly improbable upsets, high-stakes games, and intense passion. The rivalry dates back to the 1920s, when legendary Tenneesee coach Robert Neyland began challenging Alabama's perennial role atop the SEC standings.
Alabama leads the all-time series 44-38-7. Tennessee won the last game played on October 21, 2006, 16-13.
