That was with Bama suspending 2 OL, a RB & 2 DBs for the game...
At least they didn't lose to Vandy. (*cough* South Carolina *cough*)

I agree. WTF? Bama's offense isn't nearly as good as Tennessee's defense is bad.
They'd had some measure of success the last few weeks, but that was stopping teams who wanted to run the ball. Bama came out throwing, and it exposed a young, inexperienced, and currently not very good secondary.
The D-line play was awful, too.
I think they were still in it til the first drive of the second half when Bama made an outstanding play to intercept what would have been a walk-it-in-the endzone touchdown. It was a good pass by Ainge, but a better pick.
Tennessee has a way of getting deflated after plays like that. They're just not tough enough at this point.

What I haven't heard is that Dickwad Saban is winning with Dan Shula's recruits.

I used to think Tennessee was the Michigan of the SEC, however now I wonder if they're becoming the Michigan State of the SEC.
