For the second time in three weeks, Alabama football lost a game at Tennessee.

The Crimson Tide lost their second game of the 2024 season to rival Tennessee on the third Saturday in October, game 24-17 at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville on Saturday. Alabama's loss to the Volunteers follows a surprising loss to Vanderbilt on Oct. 5 in Nashville.

Alabama returns home Saturday for a 2:30 p.m. CT date with Missouri on ABC. But with two losses in three weeks, the Crimson Tide's place at the top of college football is further away.
