That’s the early word out of Knoxville as the Volunteers scored a quick 28 points not even 20 minutes into the game. It’s already the most points a Saban-led team has given up to Tennessee in the 16 games he’s been the Crimson Tide's coach.
Saban entered the game 15-0 against Tennessee as Alabama’s head coach.
A second-quarter miscue on special teams gave the Volunteers the ball in Alabama territory. It was the rare mental error a team coached by Saban makes. The legendary coach made his feelings known.
If things continue on their current path, expect more tirades in the (very) near future. Tennessee leads 28-17 with two minutes left in the first half.
