Tennessee has been the one lighting up cigars on the Third Saturday of October in two of the last three years, but Alabama fans can already taste the stogies after Zabien Brown extended the Crimson Tide’s lead to 16 with a 99-yard pick-six as time expired in the first half.
Tennessee was driving to pull within one score at the intermission, after a dominant half from Alabama’s defense. Then, transfer quarterback Joey Aguilar underthrew a pass to former Alabama tight end Miles Kitselman. The throw allowed Brown to undercut the route, but Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel is still to blame.
