Fun Vol fact.

In the last ten years, the Vol offense has scored exactly 9 touchdowns against Alabama. Less than one per year...for an entire decade.
Think of all the coaches involved. Shula and Saban. Fulmer, Kiffin, Dooley, and Jones. Joe Kines, Kevin Steele, and Kirby Smart running Alabama's defense. David Cutcliffe, Randy Sanders, and a few other forgettable OCs for the Vols. Hasn't mattered who's been on the sidelines or in the press box for either team, or where the game has been played...the Vols have struggled to find the endzone for an entire decade.
That's some epic suckage. And I don't look for it to change this year.

Gotta give props to Kiffin in 2009 (aka Rocky Block) though...even though we won, UT had 1 more TD than we did...

Tennessee didn't do shite on offense until late in the game after Ingram tried to give them the game

I was talkin' more tongue in cheek...you're right 'bout UT not doin' anything till late, but they still gave me a scare...
Kinda harsh on Ingram though...if I remember correctly, he wasn't bein' loose with the ball...I think Berry just made a good strip while Ingram was fighting for extra yards...and I think Ingram was most of our offense that game as well...

All Ingram needed to do was go down. We were running out the clock. I think he had the first down. No need to fight for an extra two yards. Your one job was to protect the ball.

he actually has 2 jobs as a running back. one of them is running. I will never fault a guy for fighting for extra yards no matter when in the game it is
