A look of resignation was etched on Jeremy Pruitt's face.
The Tennessee coach knew what he was up against Saturday, and then he watched the carnage unfold.
Alabama ripped and shredded his defense with the ferocity of a velociraptor, scoring four touchdowns in the first 13 minutes of a 58-21 victory at Neyland Stadium.
"Going into it," Pruitt said, "We knew that we would have to play a perfect game to have a chance to beat them."
Even that would have likely not been good enough against this edition of the Crimson Tide. Through eight games, Alabama looks as dominant as ever.
