Alabama vs. Tennesee: Box score, stats and summary feat. Ryan Williams (Week 8)

The Third Saturday of October rivalry certainly did not disappoint this season as the 11th-ranked Tennessee Volunteers were able to have an electric second half of the game to secure a 24-17 home victory over the seventh-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. The Vols' pass defense did enough to force Jalen Milroe into some mistakes and clinched the victory.

The Crimson Tide now fall to 5-2 (2-2 SEC) and are falling a bit out of the SEC Championship picture. The Vols are now 6-1 (3-1) and are sitting in a good position to take over if one of the top teams falters. Let's take a closer look at the box score and discuss what happened in this game.

Alabama vs. Tennessee Game Summary

The Alabama Crimson Tide just made too many mistakes and the defense could not slow down the Tennessee Volunteers in the second half. The offense could not extend drives, going just 3-of-14 on third downs and 1-of-2 on fourth down in the game. Star freshman wide receiver Ryan Williams had eight catches for 73 yards and a touchdown, but it did not prove to be enough.

The Roll Tide also saw too many yellow flags as they committed 15 accepted penalties for 115 yards.

The Vols were able to overcome losing the turnover battle and winning the game. A strong reason was the play of Dylan Sampson, who ran in a pair of touchdowns and 139 yards on the ground. Nico Iamaleava struggled in the game but did just enough for Tennessee to keep moving the chains in the second half and win this game.
