A few possessions later, Tennessee sealed the win with a Will Brooks interception of Jalen Milroe with 1:24 to play.
Though the Tide won last year in Tuscaloosa, Saturday marked Tennessee’s second consecutive win against Alabama at Neyland Stadium, something that hadn’t happened since 2004 and 2006.
The Vols jumped to 56 percent after the win, and the Tide fell to 53 percent, according to The Athletic’s Austin Mock.
A loss to Tennessee coupled with the loss to Vanderbilt and a lackluster win against South Carolina puts Alabama in a simple but challenging position: win out or bust.
Four Tennessee drives reached Alabama territory in the first half Saturday, but the Volunteers failed to score on any of them.
