Vols only managed 52 points and let Bama score 49
In 1907, Alabama beat Tennessee, LSU, and Ole Miss (tied Georgia & Auburn) on their way to an almost perfect season.
Sewanee (former SEC school) beat the Tide 54 - 4 (all the other teams that year COMBINED only managed 10 points against the Tide). It was Alabama's only loss that year.
Sewanne : still the best team in the state of Tennessee

For the record, in 1907 Touchdowns were 5 points, field goals were 4 points.
The field was also 110 yards long, you only had 3 downs to make a first down, and the forward pass was in it's 2nd year of being legal...sort of, because an incomplete pass was a 15 yard penalty(from the throwing spot), you couldn't throw it for more than 20 yards, and you weren't allowed to catch a pass in the endzone.
