Alabama vs. Tennessee live score, updates, highlights from Crimson Tide Week 8 rivalry

For the first time since Nick Saban arrived at No. 8 Alabama in 2007, the Crimson Tide is out for revenge against No. 15 Tennessee following the Vols' 52-49 win in Neylan Stadium last season.

The Tide (6-1, 4-0 in SEC play) enter the Week 8 college football game having eked out a 24-21 win over Arkansas on Saturday. Jalen Milroe went 10 for 21 through the air while throwing for 238 yards and two touchdowns as Alabama staved off a comeback attempt from the Razorbacks in the second half.

Tennessee (5-1, 2-1) had its own hard-fought win in Week 7, struggling to a 20-13 win vs. Texas A&M at home to keep it in control of its own destiny after a tough loss to Florida early in the year. The Vols are still alive not only in the SEC East, but also, potentially, the College Football Playoff race.

Now, the Vols come to Tuscaloosa to take on the Crimson Tide in what is sure to be another highly contested matchup. Tennessee hasn't beaten Alabama at home since 2003.
