Insights from Alabama football's home win against Tennessee in the Third Saturday in October rivalry, and things you might not have noticed.

UT never recovered, with Alabama winning 37-20 in Tuscaloosa. After the game, Volunteer head coach Josh Heupel was asked about the play.

Alabama football will look to avenge a second loss from 2024 when it faces the Vols on Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Two weeks ago, the Crimson Tide beat Vanderbilt. Now, Alabama will aim to do the same to Tennessee. The No. 6 Crimson Tide also looks to win a fourth consecutive game against a ranked opponent. Tennessee is ranked No. 11.
Alabama was ready. The Crimson Tide dominated Tennessee 37-20, giving DeBoer his first win against the Volunteers and igniting a smoky haze above the stadium well before players had to chance to partake in the cigar celebration. But DeBoer was fired up before his "guys" were fired up.
