The University of Tennessee is at least considering breaking out its orange football jerseys for Saturday's game at Alabama.

Official word from UT this morning is that a decision hasn't been made on the team's jerseys for Saturday.

But if the Vols are not sure they're wearing the standard white on Monday, that should tell you something. I'll also note that several sources close to the Vols have indicated all along -- and are continuing to say -- that such a move is likely to happen for this Alabama game.

The idea has been mentioned for a while in Knoxville with this game in mind. The discussion goes back to the NCAA's recent decision to change a rule that forced teams to wear contrasting home-and-away jerseys. Tradition in the SEC is that the home team gets to make the distinction (for instance, LSU always wearing white in Tiger Stadium).

But the rule being changed would allow Tennessee -- assuming Alabama agrees -- to renew an old tradition of this series and sport the orange in Bryant-Denny Stadium.
