No. 8 Alabama survives Tennessee on late TD run by Derrick Henry

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Derrick Henry and Alabama only dominated the last few minutes, when their national championship hopes were hanging by a thread. It was just enough. Henry scored on a 14-yard run with 2:24 left and the eighth-ranked Crimson Tide held on for a 19-14 victory over Tennessee on Saturday with an overpowering finish in a game that was precariously close. Henry was barely touched on his second touchdown of the game, though the 2-point pass from Jake Coker failed. Then it was the defense's turn. Alabama (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) recorded two straight sacks and Ryan Anderson knocked the ball loose from Joshua Dobbs to preserve the win. "My heart was about to jump out of my chest when the offense was on that last drive, when they punched it in," Tide cornerback Cyrus Jones said.
