Alabama smothers Tennessee in decisive 49-10 victory

There would be no upset or comeback attempt for Tennessee against Alabama. That’s what happens when you’re facing a 30-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

Alabama ran all over the Tennessee defense and prevented the Volunteers from doing the same in a 49-10 win. And if we’re taking Alabama’s offense out of the equation it would still be a win for the Crimson Tide.

Alabama scored off an interception return and a punt return for its 10th and 11th non-offensive touchdowns of the season while Tennessee got just one touchdown and it was thanks to an incredibly short field.

The No. 1 Crimson Tide entered the game with the nation’s No. 1 rushing defense. Given that the strength of the Tennessee offense is quarterback Josh Dobbs’ running ability and running backs Alvin Kamara and Jalen Hurd, the Volunteers needed to crack the Alabama defensive front to have any shot.

There were no cracks. The No. 9 Volunteers rushed for 30 yards on 27 carries, or 39 yards below Alabama’s average yards allowed entering the game. If Tennessee can’t run on Alabama, is there anyone in the country who can?

NOBODY CAN … ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
