Tennessee opens as a huge underdog against Alabama

Tennessee picked up a much needed SEC win over Mississippi State last Saturday afternoon in Neyland Stadium, stopping the bleeding and giving us all something to celebrate for once. Derrick Ansley’s defense was brilliant, holding Joe Moorhead’s offense to just ten points.

Jarrett Guarantano and Tyler Byrd came back to life to deliver the final nail in the coffin.

Tennessee improved to 2-4 on the year, stacking back to back encouraging performances on top of each other. Their reward? A trip to Tuscaloosa to face the best offense in the land. Okay, maybe not THE best statistically, but probably the best offense we’ve ever seen out of Alabama.
