Considering how many of Tennessee's starters were injured in the Texas A&M game, it is foolish to read too much into the Alabama loss.



Here's one thing I'm reading into it, though. Go back and look at the first TD...the reverse with Stewart at the 1:15 mark of this clip. The Vol DB...#22 I think...gave an utterly piss poor effort in trying to get through Hurts' block at the 10 yard line to stop Stewart before the endzone. Seriously...a DB is going to wuss out and let the QB win that battle so easily? You've got Alabama's QB as a lead blocker...come hell or high water you better make Hurts pay on that play, even if you don't stop Stewart. Looked like an utterly pathetic effort...especially in a game that is still 0-0.

I agree on that one. I don't know why Abernathy was even in the game tbh. He's got a hairline fracture in his ankle. But there's no excuse to be pushed around like that.
