No. 1 Alabama trounces No. 9 Tennessee in 49-10 runaway

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Alabama wouldn't allow Tennessee to produce another comeback. Jalen Hurts and Bo Scarbrough each rushed for over 100 yards Saturday and No. 1 Alabama again got points from its defense and special teams in a 49-10 blowout of No. 9 Tennessee. It was the most lopsided victory by either team in this rivalry since a 51-0 Alabama victory in 1906. "This is as proud of our team as I've been all year long in terms of playing a complete game against a very good team, especially in a tough environment," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. Tennessee (5-2, 2-2 SEC) had erased double-digit deficits in five of its first six games -- including a 45-38 loss at Texas A&M last week in which it forced overtime after trailing 28-7 -- but the Volunteers couldn't deliver a similar rally this time.
