No. 7 Alabama (5-1, 2-1 SEC) escaped a home scare from unranked South Carolina last weekend, winning 27-25 to secure a tough rebound win from a big Oct. 5 upset against Vanderbilt. No. 11 Tennessee, meanwhile, needed overtime to beat rival Florida 23-17 in a home test.

“Rocky Top” has been playing all through Alabama’s facility this week, reminding players where they’ll be on Saturday. According to Smith, it started playing at 6 a.m. CT on Tuesday. Other than the indoor facility during interviews with reporters, and the practice field where crowd noise was played, it was inescapable.
