The Third Saturday In October

This weekend is the "Third Saturday In October", only this year the game will be held on the fourth Saturday. 2nd ranked Alabama is coming to Knoxville for the 91st meeting between these old rivalries. The first match up took place in Birmingham, AL, in 1901 and ended with two thousand fans pouring onto the field in what turned out to be one of the largest fights in collegiate history. The game ended in a frustrating 6-6 tie and continues to be one the sport's wildest, most impassioned rivalries.

What makes Saturday's game interesting is that our defensive safety Eric Berry, who is by far the biggest star on the team, may play some on offence in a package called the "Wild Berry". Berry broke a 60 year old SEC record for total yards returned (397 so far) last week against MSU, and he's only a sophomore!
