Countdown to Kickoff: Amari Cooper torches Tennessee with an 80 yard touchdown

We are now 80 days away from Alabama’s kickoff against Miami, and it’s a great time to remember beating Tennessee (it’s always a great time to remember beating Tennessee).

Back in 2014, #4 Alabama rolled into Knoxville, marking Lane Kiffin’s return to the sideline in Tennessee, the school he left not-so-amicably in 2009. Emotions were running so high, Kiffin says Alabama recommended he wear a bulletproof vest, just in case.

The Tide got rolling quickly, from their first offensive play.

A classic Amari Cooper play. Catching the ball behind the line of scrimmage, racing by some defenders and making a couple others miss, en route to a touchdown.
