Alabama flexes its championship muscle in total domination of Tennessee

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- There was no Tennessee comeback.

Scratch that.

There was no chance of a Tennessee comeback -- not with Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin running this Alabama train.

Some of Tennessee's comeback magic was lost in last week's double-overtime loss at Texas A&M, but it completely vanished in the 49-10 thrashing the defending national champions handed the Volunteers in front of 102,455 inside Neyland Stadium.

The top-ranked Crimson Tide dismantled No. 9 Tennessee in every single area of the game. Alabama scored five offensive touchdowns -- three rushing TDs coming from freshman quarterback Jalen Hurts -- Eddie Jackson took a punt 79 yards for a touchdown and Ronnie Harrison snagged a Joshua Dobbs screen pass for himself and took it back 58 yards for a score.
