Eta- 1990
Philip Doyle kicked his third field goal of the game, a 48-yarder as time expired, to lift Alabama to a 9-6 victory over Tennessee today in a Southeastern Conference defensive struggle.
Doyle's kick was set up when Stacy Harrison blocked a 50-yard field-goal attempt by Tennessee's Greg Burke with 1 minute 35 seconds to play. Burke, whose 51-yarder tied it with 10 minutes to play, saw his potential game-winner carom off Harrison's chest and bounce downfield.
Alabama took over at the Tennessee 37 and gained 7 yards in three plays before allowing the clock to run down to 4 seconds.
Doyle had field goals of 30 and 26 yards while Burke had a 20-yarder in the first quarter before his career-best 51-yarder five minutes into the final period.
Tennessee fell to 4-1-2 over all, 2-1-1 in the conference. Alabama (3-3, 2-2) has handed Tennessee its only three losses in the last 25 games.
The dominant force in the game was the Alabama defense, which for the second straight year distrupted Tennessee so badly the Vols changed quarterbacks in midstream.
Sterling Henton, who lost his job to Andy Kelly in the Alabama game last year, took over for an ineffective Kelly early in the third quarter.
Alabama held Tennessee, the S.E.C.'s leading offensive team, to just 71 yards and three first downs in the first half.

Ugh, I remember that game. We had a much better team than Bama that year, but we always nutted up when playing them.
Bama blocked the FG and the damn ball went 20 yards the other way.
1995 Manning to Kent for a TD on play #1 at Bama.
I remember Siran fricking Stacy running wild on us in the late 80's? We would hurt Bama's starter and the backup would bend us over.
A lot of great games and tradition here.
Too bad this Saturday won't be added, but by God, we'll get you next year, or the next, or the next, or whenever Saban retires.
