5TYDK No. 5: Last Year’s Tide Win

Despite a valiant performance by the Tennessee defense and a late offensive surge to seize the lead in the fourth quarter, No. 8 Alabama beat Tennessee, 19-14, at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Tennessee (3-4, 1-3 SEC) stayed within one score from start to finish thanks to an outstanding effort by its defense, which tallied 10 tackles for a loss and five sacks and made a pair of big red zone stops in the second half.

UT’s five sacks were its most against Alabama (7-1, 4-1 SEC) since recording five in 2005 and the most the Tide has given up since allowing seven against Oklahoma in the 2014 Sugar Bowl at the end of the 2013 season.

Alabama has now won the last nine games in the series.

Alabama star running back Derrick Henry ran for 143 yards and two scores on 28 carries.

Jake Coker was 21-of-27 for 247 yards and one interception. ArDarius Stewart led all receivers with 114 yards on six catches. Jalen Hurd ran for 92 yards on 18 carries and had the go-ahead 12-yard rushing touchdown with 5:49 left.

Joshua Dobbs finished 13-of-22 for 171 yards and one touchdown and also ran

for 19 yards on 16 carries. Alvin Kamara led the Vols with four catches for 44 yards and also carried the ball five times for 21 yards.
