<P> The Third Saturday in October is the name given to Alabama's annual game against the University of Tennessee Volunteers . Through the 2017 season, Saban has compiled an overall record of eleven wins and zero losses (11--0) against the Volunteers . In the period between the 1995 and 2006 seasons prior to the arrival of Saban, the Volunteers were 10--2 against the Crimson Tide . Since Saban has been Alabama's head coach, they have outscored Tennessee 396 to 126 in their eleven victories (average score 36 to 11). The only games that the Crimson Tide did not win by at least two touchdowns came in the 2009 game when Terrence Cody blocked a field goal as time expired and preserved the 12--10 Alabama victory and in 2015 when the tide won 19 - 14 due to a game clinching fumble recovered by A'shawn Robinson . 2016 and 2017 saw blowout wins of 49 - 10 and 45 - 7 for the Tide over the Volunteers . At the conclusion of the 2017 season, Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt was hired as the Tennessee head coach . </P> <P> Louisiana State University (LSU) and Alabama first met on the field in 1895 and continuously since 1964 . However, the annual game against the Tigers was not considered a rivalry until Saban (a former LSU head coach) was hired in the same capacity at Alabama for 2007 season . Through the 2016 season, Saban has compiled an overall record of nine wins and three losses (9--3) against the Tigers . After a 41--34 loss in their first matchup, Alabama won at Baton Rouge in overtime 27--21 in 2008 . After the Tigers upset the Crimson Tide 24--21 in 2010, they again were victorious the following season 9--6 in a No. 1 versus No. 2 "Game of the Century" during the regular season . They met again in a rematch for the 2011 national championship in the BCS National Championship Game where Alabama won 21--0 in the rematch for the national championship . The Crimson Tide won their second straight in the series in 2012 after they defeated LSU 21--17 when AJ McCarron threw a 28 - yard, game - winning touchdown pass to T.J. Yeldon in the final two minutes of the game . In 2013, Alabama turned a 17 - 17 tie in the third quarter into a 38 - 17 rout behind a 372 - yard rushing effort, including 133 yards and two touchdowns from T.J. Yeldon . At Baton Rouge in 2014, Blake Sims drove Alabama 55 yards in the final 50 seconds of regulation for a tying field goal, and then threw a 6 - yard touchdown to DeAndrew White in overtime to lead the Tide to a 20 - 13 win over the Tigers . In 2015, Alabama won handily against an undefeated LSU team, 30 - 16 in Tuscaloosa . Bama had 250 rushing yards and A'shawn Robinson blocked one of LSU's extra points in spectacular fashion . In 2016, the game was scoreless going into the fourth quarter . However, true freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts ran 21 yards for a touchdown . That put Alabama up 7 - 0, and the Tide never looked back as they would shut out LSU 10 - 0 in Baton Rouge . In 2017, Alabama would defeat LSU 24 - 10 in Tuscaloosa, marking the seventh consecutive win over the Tigers . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Player name </Th> <Th> Position </Th> <Th> Selector (s) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2008 </Td> <Td> Caldwell, Antoine Antoine Caldwell </Td> <Td> Center </Td> <Td> AFCA, AP, TSN, SI </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Cody, Terrence Terrence Cody </Td> <Td> Defensive tackle </Td> <Td> AFCA, AP, FWAA, TSN, SI, Rivals.com, CBS </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Johnson, Rashad Rashad Johnson </Th> <Td> Safety </Td> <Td> AFCA, Rivals.com </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Smith, Andre Andre Smith </Td> <Td> Offensive tackle </Td> <Td> AFCA, AP, FWAA, TSN, WC, ESPN, FN, SI, CBS, Rivals.com </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2009 </Td> <Td> Arenas, Javier Javier Arenas </Td> <Td> Cornerback </Td> <Td> AFCA, AP, SI </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Arenas, Javier Javier Arenas </Th> <Td> Punt returner </Td> <Td> CBS, Rivals.com </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Cody, Terrence Terrence Cody </Td> <Td> Defensive tackle </Td> <Td> AP, FWAA, WC, CBS </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ingram, Mark Mark Ingram </Td> <Td> Running back </Td> <Td> AP, FWAA, AFCA, WC, TSN, SI, ESPN, CBS, Rivals.com </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Johnson, Mike Mike Johnson </Td> <Td> Offensive guard </Td> <Td> AP, AFCA, WC, TSN, SI, ESPN, CBS, Rivals.com </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> McClain, Rolando Rolando McClain </Td> <Td> Linebacker </Td> <Td> AP, FWAA, AFCA, WC, TSN, SI, ESPN, CBS, Rivals.com </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Tiffin, Leigh Leigh Tiffin </Th> <Td> Placekicker </Td> <Td> AP, CBS </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Th> Barron, Mark Mark Barron </Th> <Td> Safety </Td> <Td> FWAA </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2011 </Td> <Td> Barron, Mark Mark Barron </Td> <Td> Safety </Td> <Td> AFCA, AP, FWAA, WC, TSN, CBS, ESPN, PFW, Scout.com, SI </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Hightower, Dont'aDont'a Hightower </Td> <Td> Linebacker </Td> <Td> AFCA, AP, WC, PFW </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Jones, Barrett Barrett Jones </Td> <Td> Tackle </Td> <Td> AP, AFCA, FWAA, WC, CBS, ESPN, Scout.com, TSN </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Kirkpatrick, Dre Dre Kirkpatrick </Th> <Td> Cornerback </Td> <Td> FWAA, CBS, PFW </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Menzie, DeQuan DeQuan Menzie </Th> <Td> Cornerback </Td> <Td> AFCA </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Richardson, Trent Trent Richardson </Td> <Td> Running back </Td> <Td> AP, AFCA, FWAA, WCFF, CBS, ESPN, Scout.com, TSN </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Upshaw, Courtney Courtney Upshaw </Th> <Td> Linebacker </Td> <Td> FWAA, TSN, CBS, ESPN, PFW, Scout.com, SI </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2012 </Td> <Th> Fluker, D.J.
