Alabama Vs. Tennessee

[Deeeefense]

I know most of ya'll have seen this before, or many times but it's like fine wine and seems to get better with age.
So on the eve of the Tide vs. Vols here's the great Irvin Carney in his own words:

 

[CB3UK]

To hell with Tennessee. Hope Alabama runs the score up.

 

[entropy13]

A classic. Favorite line from the video: "... and I don't like pumpkins." 🤣🤣🤣

 

[Glenn's take]

The great thing about that is that if he said that with the same anger and intensity in his voice that his words conveyed, it would just be a lunatic rant. Instead, he channeled his inner Bob Newhart and dead-panned it into greatness.

Last years Tennessee with this years Alabama would be 41-17 UT.

This year though… neither has much of a QB. 17-14 Bama

 

[EKCAT4YRS]

Bama covers 9 easily,, I hope!

 

[Glenn's take]

Bama covers 9 easily,, I hope!

I don't. I had to take someone at 8 1/2 because they offered a 50% profit boost. I took UT in what I think will be a close game.

You can say the same thing about last year's bama against this year's UT.

UT doesn't have their home cooking refs this year so I like bama in a close one as well.

 

[secrules3]

That is amazing. BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

 

[rick64]

Wow Vols having their way so far.

 

[liveblue92]

Tennessee is going to name their score on us again. I’m taking whatever spread draftkings gives the Vols next week for like half of the money in my account. Only way I will be able to stomach the loss.

 

[CUJO_1970]

Got a long way to go but UT carving Alabama defense up.

10–0 UT 2 minutes left in the 1st quarter.

 

[Old_Red]

And shutting down Alabama's offense. Just manhandling them in both trenches.

 

[maroon79]

Come on Tide

Roll it up

 

[BlueGrad07]

What’s crazy is it could and probably should be worse than 13-0.

 

[CUJO_1970]

13-0 good grief

 

[StubbornPenny]

17-0 if the UT QB didn’t suck 13-0 as it is.

 

[Nuke99m]

29 or 30 plays in the first quarter for UT. That's half our total game average.

 

[cathouse]

I wonder how long it will take Nickie boy to figure out you can’t run the ball into the middle of UT defense??

Looks like another conservative defensive minded head coach that I know.

Keep hammering. Down 13-0.

 

[CUJO_1970]

The thought of this UT offense going up against Brad White’s matador defense is quite unsettling.

 

[Deeeefense]

Looks like some were handing this win to the Might Vols a little too early. A game is TWO halves.

 

[Freetaxreturn]

At least LSU is blowing out Army 🍺

Yep, 27 to zip Bama. Zip! To be clear that's zero.. I don't know why, it just is.

 

[howercat]

So ewwwteee can be stopped, if u have bama's defense.

 

[CGblue]

So ewwwteee can be stopped, if u have bama's defense.

Or at least Florida's. And an offense that can stay on the field without tripping themselves up.

 

[HalHR2500]

TN is road kill this year

 

[Grumpyolddawg]

Reading the vol boards it's all "the refs cheated us". And I am sure Bama got some calls, but none was worse than the no call when the vol punched the Bama RB in the head.

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

After watching the game I am a little more hopeful for next Sat. We HAVE to get Davis going however and stop with all the stupid crap with all the penalties

Don't even have to have Bama defense.
Just have to find a way to put pressure on the QB and not let him run all over you.
His pass percentage falls below 50% when he is pressured or flushed out of the pocket.
Can't sit back and let him wait for receivers to get open.

I saw ALA roll out their QB let him make simple pass/run decisions. UK can/should do the same.

You just mentioned something uk struggles with, pressure on qb. Stoops/white prefer bracket coverage, keeping everything in front of the defensive secondary. Poor recipe for success against ewwwteee.

Yes.
And, that is one of the main reasons CMS is 2-9 against UT in the worst decade for them in their history.
