00:00Once again on Iraqi top, Tennessee handles Alabama, maybe

00:05handles was too strong of word, but the Crimson Tide, who have

00:09won 16 of the last eight meetings against the Vols 15

00:13straight leading up to 2022. The last two times they have been to

00:17Knoxville, they have come away with an L low scoring game

00:22scoreless in the opening quarter, Bama led by seven at

00:26the break, seven zip in the second half. It was mostly

00:30Tennessee, Nikoi Ameliava making plays when needed. Dylan

00:34Sampson might be the best running back in the conference

00:39and Jalen Milrow continues to turn over the football in four

00:43SEC games. Now for the Crimson Tide, six INTs in four

00:48conference contests as Tennessee wins outright on rocky top as a

00:52three and a half point dog, 24 to 17, handing Alabama its

00:57second loss of the season.

00:59Yeah, take away from this game is what you actually had in Nick

01:02Saban. Now granted, Kalen DeBoer beats George, like, man, we

01:05might add an upgrade at coaching. Obviously, people

01:08knew that wasn't going to be the case. And I don't even know if

01:10that's his fault. Jalen Milrow has just got to be a better

01:12football player on the road. And as you said, taking care of the

01:15football when it means most. Alabama have a seven to nothing

01:18lead at the half. Tennessee couldn't get anything done on

01:20offense. And then you see that final total 41 rushes as a team

01:25220 yards, 5.4 yards per carry and two touchdowns. It was the

01:29ground and pound that was sticking with it for Tennessee,

01:32which is why they won that game. Six and one. Look, I don't know

01:35grand scheme of things how good Tennessee is going to be. But

01:38it's always great when you beat Alabama, specifically at home,

01:41the cigars wafting through the air, the smoke billowing around.

01:45You saw the head coach there given that interview. It's

01:47always great to be in Alabama, no matter where you're at. But

01:50it's interesting for Bama. How can they make their way now to

01:53the college football playoff picture once again, with two

01:56losses in the SEC. It's great that there's 12 teams, but we

01:59are seeing an Alabama team that's really flawed. And if we

02:02remember, Georgia had them down after that massive comeback,

02:06they legitimately should have three losses already on the

02:09season and one of those to Vanderbilt that can't happen.
