Wind whipping the trash though the empty Neyland Stadium behind him, Tua Tagovailoa gave his honest assessment of the day.
Smudged eye black still on his cheeks, the quarterback spoke with confidence.
"I think we had two or three drives where we just didn't give the defense the time to regroup and whatnot," he said. "This is where we go back to the drawing board and work on what we missed."
Alabama had just won 58-21 over Tennessee.
Tagovailoa had another 300-yard passing game and four more touchdowns.
It was 28-0 after 12 minutes.
