It’s a long-standing tradition in the Alabama-Tennessee rivalry that the winner smokes celebratory cigars. At this rate, the only chance Tennessee has of beating Nick Saban is lung cancer as he ran his record against the Vols to 10-0. Coincidentally, that’s also Alabama Football’s winning streak against the Vols after the 49-10 mauling.
Earlier in the season, Tennessee defensive coordinator Bob Shoop said “No one will run the football on the Orange Swarm.” Well, I just ran for 60 yards and a TD. Seriously. Alabama finished the game with 438 yards rushing. That’s a quarter-mile. Go ahead, do the math.
