Bo Scarbrough's long run was the final big blow, an 85-yard touchdown that made this a truly lopsided game.

Tennessee has shown a knack for erasing large deficits during the last two years and has consistently looked its best in the most difficult of situations. There wasn't any magic from the Vols Saturday, though.

The Tide built a sizable lead and continued to add to it on its way to a 49-10 victory over the No. 9 team in the country.

This was a blowout, a truly impressive, dominant performance from Alabama.

Defensive dominance

A Tennessee offense full of talent averaged barely more than two yards per play against Alabama's defense.
