OUR PREDICTION: This is a bad matchup for Joshua Dobbs and the Vols. Dobbs has turned the ball over 13 times this season, has lost nine fumbles, which leads the SEC, and has been sacked 24 times, which also is the most in the conference. Alabama, meanwhile, has created 10 turnovers, has recovered seven fumbles on the year, and has sacked opposing quarterbacks 14 times, which are all SEC-best figures. If the Vols want to play from behind again today, they’re going to be in trouble against the Tide. Look for Alabama to cover for the second straight time on the road.
