No. 6 Tennessee’s last-second 52-49 win over No. 3 Alabama on Saturday night, the Volunteers’ first victory over the Crimson Tide since 2006, was arguably the biggest win of the college football season so far. In the loss, Alabama committed a school record 17 penalties, a sign the team didn’t play with enough discipline in Knoxville.
After the game, Alabama linebacker Henry To’oTo’o, a former Tennessee player, gave the Vols credit on the win.
“Congratulations to them,” To’oTo’o said, via Bama Central. “They played hard. We didn’t execute. Shot ourselves in the foot the whole game and just gotta clean it up.”
