Alabama is currently on a 14-game winning streak in the series, with the Vols' last win coming over a decade-and-a-half ago.
The Vols may be better suited to battle the Crimson Tide based on early production from their first six games, which have seen them shatter first-quarter scoring and efficiency statistics.
