After finding a major speedbump in Fayetteville, Tennessee knew what they had to do. Their mulligan had been used and the only path forward was to find a win over Alabama or Georgia.
They did just that on Saturday night.
Nico Iamaleava finally hit a big throw down the field to Dont’e Thornton, which seemed to turn the entire game around. It very well could have turned the season around, too. Iamaleava came back to deliver the go-ahead touchdown pass to Chris Brazzell, then the Tennessee defense did the rest.
Jalen Milroe tossed another interception to end it, and now Alabama is staring at must-win games for the rest of the year.
