Tennessee proved it is a damn good football team Saturday in a raucous environment that illustrated what makes college football so enthralling. There were plenty of wild moments and controversial calls that both fanbases will latch on to, but this wasn't a fluky outcome. Tennessee looked like the real deal throughout the night and gave Alabama all it could handle from the minute the game kicked off. The Crimson Tide had no answer for the Hendon Hooker to Jalin Hyatt connection that torched the Alabama secondary for 207 yards and five touchdowns. That Tennessee looked so explosive and dominant on offense without star receiver Cedric Tillman should send shivers up every SEC defensive coordinator's neck.
