Hello Friends! This is Alabama-Tennessee week, although a week later. This game is traditionally played the third Saturday in October, but I think it will still be a great game.
Lane Kiffin and his Vols team have had two weeks to brag about their beat down of the Georgia Bulldogs. Now they need to strap up their chin straps and get ready to face the best team they have left on their schedule. For TN to keep this game close, TN needs to control the ball and keep Mark Ingram on the sideline. Alabama’s key for victory on offense is having Greg McElroy show up this week and Mark Ingram just needs to do his thing. Defense needs to punish Compton and Hardesty. I guess we will see later today who decided to show up.
Ok friends, I was right! This was a great game. This game reminded me of games from the past. A good ole fashioned slobber-knocker! TN came down to Tuscaloosa and played a hell of a game.

Jonathan Crompton had another good game (21 for 36, 265yds, 1TD) and Monterio Hardesty ran well enough to keep Bama’s defense honest (18 for 55yds). Greg McElroy still didn’t play great, but he didn’t loose the game. He was 18 for 29, 120yds. Alabama went out of their way to make sure McElroy didn’t loose the game by having Mark Ingram run the wild elephant. Ingram was 18 for 99yds. The one bright spot for McElroy was actually getting the ball to Julio Jones 7 times for 55yds. But the players that won the game for Bama were Leigh Tippin (4 for 4 in FG attempts) and Terrence “Mount” Cody, who will go down in the history books of the Alabama Tennessee game with two blocked FG, the most important of the two coming with 4 seconds left in the game.

So in closing, I want the TN fans to know that I think TN played a hell of a game and I look forward to seeing them next year.
ROLL TIDE!
