It was not pretty, but Alabama improves to 7-0.
Despite unveiling its new lighting feature, the Crimson Tide did not have the performance it wanted inside Bryant-Denny Stadium versus Tennessee. In the latest edition of the “Third Saturday in October” rivalry, there were more flags on the field than in a NASCAR race.
Both teams combined had 18 penalties for 161 yards, with Alabama being responsible for seven – netting 78 yards.
Nick Saban will address the issue in his post-game presser, but the main concern is the health of Tua Tagovailoa. Regardless of a 35-13 win, the Heisman leader left the game prior to halftime with ankle injury.
