Four things happened inside Bryant-Denny Stadium in Alabama’s win over Tennessee: a magical lighting show, old school Alabama (offense wise) resurfaced, the defense showed flashes of greatness and fans witnessed the return of JK Scott.
He is not the 6-foot-4 golden leg from Colorado with a prayer warrior’s passion, but all that matters to Crimson Tide fans was the way the ball traveled off his foot. A native of Prattville, Ala., Tylan “Ty” Perine became the first African American punter for the Tide in its 35-13 victory over the Volunteers. Before starting his career as a walk-on, Caleb Ross – head football coach at Prattville High School – knew he had something special in one year with Perine.
