Fantastic CFB game TN vs Alabama

[eebmg]

Not a CFB in general but this game is being played at an incredibly high level. In particular, the QB's are playing at an elite level.

42-42 with 8+ minutes left in Q4

3 seconds after posting, TN with a humungous blunder. Loses possession and an Alabama TD. I should have guessed a TN team would have a mindless TO at a critical juncture.

Best game of the day. The team that has the ball last will win. 49-49 3:26 left.

Wow. Tennessee earned that one.

Gotta love tht College atmosphere

TN wins 52-49 on the nuttiest pair of FG attempts. Alabama misses a 50 yarder right with 30+ seconds. TN Quarterback with 2 stupendous throws to get in field goal position for a 40 yard FGA. Kicker hits a knuckle ball that must have cleared the cross bar by inches.

Wow! You are right! 103 inches to be exact.

Been a football only Vols fan since spending 7 years in Knoxville ending in 1993. The best, best, best Vols win I've ever seen. Also a Giants fan. Football karma is finally breaking my way. It's good to be out of the wilderness.

Ends a 15 game losing streak to Alabama in Knoxville I think they had said.

I am a Giants fan also but I am not convinced the Daboll pixie dust will continue

You may be right eebmg. After umpteen seasons wondering if four wins in the season was too optimistic I'm embracing pixie dust.

Those Vols fans were out in droves today. As the camera spanned the stadium on several occasions, I didn’t see any empty seats. I said the team that had the ball last would win. Can UConn football ever reach that plateau?

I did not watch the Tennessee Alabama game because it was impossible for both teams to lose. However, if you didn’t catch the USC Utah game it was also quite a game. I don’t ever remember seeing a stadium as complete bedlam for such an extended period of time as this one. 43-42.

I only followed intermittently on the game tracker. In any case, are the defenses this porous or are the offenses just off the charts?

Caught the very end of the game. Alabama had the ball 1st and 10 at the Tennessee 32 with 30 seconds left in the game, ran 3 plays, attempted a FG and still managed to lose the game in regulation. That is hard to do.

Neyland Stadium was also complete bedlam pretty much the whole game, add about 50,000 people to the mix. Insane picture.

It's hard to call their defenses porous vs a comparison of other teams considering one of the teams is Alabama. The top SEC schools that can beat Alabama it's hard to say they are porous at an entire half-side of the football considering both teams were about top 6.

Thanks. I'm clueless as I haven't been watching CFB closely this season. Just from the viewing the game via tracker it seemed as if neither defense could make a stop. That's a lot of points!

I guess it was too much to ask for Tennessee to lose to Alabama every year for the rest of my life.

This was the most points given up by Alabama in a game since 1907. Bama just isn't a great team this year. They were lucky to beat UT and TAMU and yesterday their luck ran out. Hard to be lucky when you keep shooting yourself in the foot with penalties and dumb mistakes.

I was replacing a broken trigger switch on my wife's Dyson vacuum watching the game with one eye. It was quite the game. The darn thing took me two hours to replace.

Interesting story about the people of Tennessee and Alabama. One of my son's is a software engineer for a large defense corporation in Huntsville, AL (yes he went to Alabama). We go down there a couple of times a year. The easiest/quickest way to get there is fly nonstop into Nashville, then drive 1:45. Normally we take I-65 south, then another highway east. I noticed on a map there was a back roads highway, Rt. 53 that went diagonal and seemed more direct. So I take the last Tennessee exit off Rt 65 at the town of Ardmore, TN/AL. Many times in a new or strange place I will buy a Power Ball or Mega Millions ticket just for the heck of it. I pull off to the right at a gas station/convenience store. No lottery tickets. "This is Alabama sir, no lottery tickets. Y'all have to go across the street to Tennessee." I inquire about the large amount of Alabama shirts, hats and everything under the sun for sale in this small store. "Roll Tide sir, Y'all are in Alabama." So I go across the street to the north side of Rt 53 to a similar convenience store to play the lottery. This store is wall to wall orange Tennessee gear. I get my tickets and ask about the state boarder. "That street right there is the state border. North of it is in Tennessee, south is Alabama." The whole thing is a little bit twilight zone. The boundaries are drawn. I later learned they are two separate towns of Ardmore, one in each state. So yesterday, for the first time in a long time, the day belonged to the good people of Ardmore, TN

The two QB's were fantastic. They made quite a few amazing passes.

A pair of goalposts cost $150,000? Are they shopping at Neiman-Marcus?
