Alabama has been making adjustments to get back into the game. Second half is going to be a lot closer I bet.

Over 100yrds in penalties! Geesh their the only team that could do that and still win. Young is the answer so far.

Go gators! lol happy it came to fruition for Alabama tonight. That many penalties, you deserve to lose. Without all of them, this would have been a different ballgame. Congrats to the Vols!
I took my mom and father in law to see my daughter at college for her birthday. Trying to catch highlights. Looks like several battle of the unbeaten games. Caught portions of the first half of UM vs PSU. Was hoping Penn St would hang but sounds like second half didn't happen. Luck kept him in the first half. Sure wasn't time of possession. Lol
I won't rub it in. I enjoy watching Bama lose, but I'm not a jerk about it. Looked like and sounds like it was a serious ballgame for the fans to watch. Congrats to the Vols. Probably sucks to be Bama'a next opponent. Lol

I honestly thought it was going to be way worse before the game. I figured more 49-24 type stuff. TN played a hell of a game, Bama screwed themselves with penalties which have been an issue this year. Good for TN. One thing I did see that I liked, and was new, is Bama does indeed have the grit to stay in a game, fight, and make up a gap. Clean up those penalties and more attention to the basics and that's a stellar team. TN still has a long road to the playoffs with Ga in their future and then Bama again in Atlanta. Providing Bama wins the SEC west. One thing for sure, a one loss Bama is not the same team as a undefeated Bama.
How so? As in a one loss Bama has a chip on their shoulder and something to prove? Or a one loss Bama just reduced their Play off odds? I am curious.

Traditionally a one-loss Bama has a different edge to them the rest of the season. The team stops letting that high and mighty get to their heads. They feel the sting of reality and stop letting all that prestige get to them. Or as Saban calls it "rat poison". It's a wake-up call. Now they feel the reality of " we better clean it up and play or we're not going to make it. I guess it gives them something to fight to achieve instead of taking it for granted because of the reputation of the school they're playing for. Maybe it gives the coaches something to point to and say "you fucked around and look what happened". Maybe its the feeling of letting the team, fans, and the ones who came before down. Maybe it's because losing sucks, especially when you're not used to it. Whatever it is, a one-loss Bama always plays harder and smarter.
Plus losing now isn’t as bad as losing later and if they win out they’re still in the playoffs.
Copy. Basically what I said except your telling us it will be the rest of the season. I had mentioned not wanting to be whoever Bama plays next. I suspected they would come back swinging. Then again, some years it isn't there. You have talent. Just not the right team chemistry. All the talent in the world doesn't guarantee an undefeated or championship level team.
